April 1 deadline for bobhouse removal
CONCORD — All bobhouses, also known as ice shanties, must be removed from the ice no later than the end of the day on April 1, according to state law. Once it's off the ice, do not leave bobhouses on public or private property without permission.
The law is designed to ensure that bobhouses and their contents don't fall through the ice and become a hazard to boaters or get left behind on shore.
Failure to remove a bobhouse from public waters, public property or private property by the deadline can result in a fine and a one-year loss of the owner's fishing license. In cases where conservation officers cannot identify the bobhouse owner, Fish and Game has the authority to seize any bobhouse and its contents not removed by the deadline.
For more information, call 603-271-3127.

Topic: Portuguese guitarra
Does anyone have any experience playing a guitarra? Is it similar to an acoustic 12 string? How's the sound? Where can they be purchased? There's not so much information on the internet? there seems to be very few distributors in the continental USA. I'd love to try one and potentially buy one but I'd hate to spend $1500.00 experimenting? Any experience or advice would be appreciated...Thanks in advance

Death Penalty Opponents Continue Push For Repeal
Senate President Doesn't Think There Are Enough Votes
Efforts to repeal Maryland's death penalty took center stage Tuesday in Annapolis.
Opponents of capital punishment began testifying Tuesday on a repeal measure in the House Judiciary Committee.
The bill has 61 co-sponsors in the House, 21 co-sponsors in the Senate and the backing of Gov. Martin O'Malley.
As WBAL-TV's David Collins reported Tuesday, the question is, "Will the legislation make it through the committee process?"
The state has executed five prisoners since the 1970s, and five inmates now occupy death row in Maryland. Nationwide, 140 convicts have been exonerated, including Kirk Bloodsworth. He spent nine years on Maryland's death row before DNA evidence proved he was not guilty of murder.
"Let's face it. If it can happen to an honorably discharged Marine, it can happen to anybody in this state. It could happen to you, and I don't want it to happen to you," Bloodsworth said.
Death penalty opponents argue that state-sanctioned executions cost more than sending killers to prison for life without parole, Collins reported. They cite studies revealing a racial bias in death penalty cases.
Vicki Schieber's daughter, Shannon, was raped and murdered on May 7, 1998. She was in her first year of graduate school on a full scholarship at the University of Pennsylvania Wharton Business School. She told Collins that she opposes the death penalty.
"We don't think that helps society to heal. We don't think it helps victims' families to heal," she said.
Most recently, state officials ordered a revision of Maryland protocols because one of the drugs used in the procedure is no longer available in the U.S., which in effect created a moratorium on carrying out executions.
Prosecutors support the death penalty, although some acknowledge changes in the statute made in 2009 make it more difficult to bring capitol cases. The law requires biological or DNA evidence, video-taped voluntary confessions or video linking defendants to a crime.
"We have to protect ourselves as a state, and we have the right to do that," said Baltimore County State's Attorney Scott Shellenberger. "Sometimes the ultimate punishment is the only way to protect ourselves."
Senate President Mike Miller, who is a death penalty opponent, said he doesn't believe there are enough votes in the Senate Judiciary Committee to approve repeal.
The Senate version of the bill was filed so late that a decision has not been made as to whether it gets a committee hearing. Even if it does and makes it to the floor, Miller said the full chamber is unlikely to act.

Fortunately the answer is "yes".
Many of the newer GPS units are now allowing geocachers the ability to retrieve geocache information directly from geocaching.com. This means you can read all the information instantly right over the Internet. They also have the functionality to "log" your finds directly into geocaching.com which cuts down on a lot of unnecessarily paperwork as well. This is a tremendous surge in the right direction but not everybody can afford the high end GPSs that do this. It is also not the complete solution we need. Many geocachers like to keep personal notes about our caches that should not be included in a standard log. For example, I would note something like:
"Took me 15 minutes to find this small grey and green colored cami lock n lock box. It was extremely well hidden inside the far end of a log right next to a large bolder. You had to remove the bark on the left side to actually see the cache."
This kind of information would be saved in a personal log book and saved in case someone else called asking for help usually referred to as a Phone A Friend. If we want to keep paperless, where can we store that kind of information?
Part One:
The first video goes over the initial basics of how to get the needed information from Geocaching.com. Then to take that information, get it onto your PC and into an application known as GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife).
Part Two:
The second video shows you how to export all that nice information from GSAK and put it onto your Palm PDA. Then we take a quick look at an application on your Palm called Cachemate which you can now read. Bye - bye printed cache papers.
Well I hope you found this tutorial into paperless geocaching informative. It may look like a lot to setup but once done you will find geocaching a whole lot more enjoyable and less paper intensive. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to email me directly or contact me through my blogs or YouTube videos.

A Few of Your Favorite Things
Based on our survey and the past year's searches on the Pulse website, you're interested in holidays and festivals like Los Posadas, and the food and drink that we consume during these times. You're interested in the remote places that most of us simply can't visit, like the Gobi Desert. You asked for more information about animals, especially birds and large predators, like lions and tigers and bears. Surprisingly to us, many of you asked about artificial voice simulators. Not surprisingly, there was a lot of interest in global warming. You asked about the Iroquois, and other indigenous people, as well as about dinosaurs, naked mole rats, cicadas, penguins, Nile Perch, moon rings, swarming bees, and many other topics. To give us more input for future topics, go to the Feedback Loop on the Science Diaries page and let us know what you'd like to hear more about.

Yahoo's New "Homerun" Homepage Is Rolling Out More Widely Across Several Browsers
Yahoo appears to be rolling out the newest version of the redesign of its homepage even more extensively across several major browsers, including Google Chrome, Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox.
As AllThingsD has previously reported several times, the Silicon Valley Internet giant has been working on a new homepage look, designed to improve its declining consumer usage.
The latest look has been present on all my browsers all day, rather than cycling off to the old version as before. The design is cleaner, with a more touchscreen tablet approach, new icons, and a scrolling news feature. With a more mobile feel, it's slightly different than previous new versions that Yahoo has been testing over the last few months.
After redoing its Yahoo Mail and Flickr photo-sharing service, sources inside the company said that Yahoo is now close to launching the new homepage. It's part of an effort called Project Homerun and also a larger effort called Project Zed, which will also include more personalization and a focus on bringing in a range of third-party content.
More on what that means soon …
Until then, here are three different screenshots from tonight from Chrome, Safari and Firefox:

OMAHA, Neb. – Investor Warren Buffett believes that the economy and the U.S. job market will continue to improve, but slowly.
In an interview that aired Friday, Buffett said business has been creeping upward at his Berkshire Hathaway conglomerate.
"The economy is improving, not at a rapid clip, but this country has done well since 2008 — certainly compared to the rest of the world," Buffett said to CNBC.
Buffett thinks it would be extraordinary if the Federal Reserve were to expand its bond-buying program beyond the current $85 billion a month level. The Fed said Wednesday that it would consider buying more if the economy needs help.
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke needs some help from elsewhere to get the economy moving faster, Buffett said. Bernanke has urged Congress to do more to stimulate hiring and growth.
On Saturday, Buffett will take questions in front of more than 30,000 people at Berkshire's annual meeting.
In a separate interview with the Fox Business Network on Friday, Buffett tried to reassure Berkshire shareholders that they shouldn't worry about his successor.
The 82-year-old billionaire said he isn't concerned about who will next lead four companies in which Berkshire invests nearly $50 billion, such as Coca-Cola, IBM, Wells Fargo and American Express.
"I don't know who's going to succeed the present CEOs there and in every case, each one of the four they have changed CEOs since we started buying the stock in certain cases more than once," Buffett said. "I never knew who they were going to be. I knew they'd pick good people."
Buffett said Berkshire's board spends more time discussion succession planning than any other topic. But Buffett has no plans to retire. He has said Berkshire's board has picked someone to succeed him as CEO if the need arises immediately, and it has two backup candidates. But Buffett won't publicly identify his successor, partly because he has said the candidates could change over time.
Currently, all of the CEO candidates on Berkshire's short list are men, but Buffett said that could change.
"Maybe 10 years or 15 years from now it will be a she. I hope it is," he said.
Berkshire plans to split Buffett's job into three parts when he no longer leads the company. The next CEO will run Berkshire, but two others hired by Buffett in recent years will oversee investment. Buffett wants his oldest son to succeed him as chairman.
Berkshire owns more than 80 subsidiaries, including railroad, clothing, furniture and jewelry firms. Its insurance and utility businesses typically account for more than half of the company's net income. The Omaha, Neb., company also has major investments.

A lot of homeowners face foreclosure. The overwhelming majority of them haven't been making their house payments.
This simple truth has been obscured by the foreclosure paperwork scandal.
In 23 states, foreclosures must be accomplished through the court system. (In the other states, lenders handle foreclosures administratively, although homeowners can choose to defend themselves in court.)
Lenders are overwhelmed by paperwork and time-consuming legal procedures in the 23 judicial foreclosure states. They resort to shortcuts by hiring law firms (dubbed "foreclosure mills" by consumer advocates) that ram foreclosures through the court system as swiftly as possible. According to depositions, some of these law firms employ "robosigners" whose job is to glance at foreclosure files and sign papers that say that the signer has personal knowledge that the legal documents are true. In fact, they lack such personal knowledge.
You know how, when you download a software update on your computer, you have to check a box attesting that you read the end user license agreement, and you click the box, even though you didn't read the contract? That's kind of what the robosigners did, except the stakes were bigger: They were signing papers that took people's houses away.
At least three major servicers — Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and Ally — have suspended foreclosure actions in judicial foreclosure states while they review pending cases. It's too soon to know what the consequences will be.
I frequently talk to a mortgage banker named Michael Moskowitz, president of Equity Now, in New York City. He knows we disagree on a lot of stuff. But we agree that this scandal about robosigners is making a tornado out of a puff of wind.
No one is happy when a homeowner loses a house to foreclosure. On the other hand, I don't like it when deadbeats try to use legal technicalities to weasel out of their debts.
When a judge is confronted by a homeowner who complains that a foreclosure is invalid because the servicer used a robosigner, I hope the judge's first question is: "When is the last time you made a mortgage payment?" The rest is just details.

If you're pregnant with more than 1 baby, a healthy diet and lifestyle will help you cope with your pregnancy and give your babies the best start in life.
The advice for keeping healthy in pregnancy is similar whether you're expecting twins, triplets or just 1 baby.
Eat well, take gentle exercise, drink lots of fluid and, if you feel stressed, get support from friends and family or talk to your midwife.
It's also important to attend all your antenatal appointments so your maternity team can keep a close eye on you and your babies.
Healthy eating with a twin pregnancy
Expecting 2 babies does not mean you have to eat significantly more than during a single pregnancy.
But it's normal to put on more weight than a woman who's only carrying 1 baby.
Aim to eat a healthy, balanced diet that includes plenty of fruit, vegetables and wholegrains.
These will help you avoid constipation and provide a range of vitamins and minerals.
You also need some protein foods, such as lean red meat, well-cooked eggs, and nuts and seeds.
Dairy foods such as milk, cheese and yoghurt are important for calcium.
If you feel peckish, it's best to fill up on healthy snacks, such as fresh fruit, low-fat yoghurt or sandwiches filled with grated cheese, lean ham or mashed tuna.
Try to avoid foods with empty calories, such as sugary snacks, crisps and fizzy drinks.
You're more at risk from anaemia during a twin pregnancy.
You'll be offered extra blood tests and may be offered iron supplements.
Good sources of iron include lean red meat, leafy green vegetables, beans and fortified breakfast cereals.
Read more about healthy eating in pregnancy and foods to avoid in pregnancy.
Staying active with a twin pregnancy
Gentle exercise will help you tone your muscles and protect you from aches and pains.
Exercises that will not overstress your joints are recommended, such as swimming, walking, antenatal yoga, pilates and tai chi.
Doing pelvic floor exercises regularly will help your pelvic floor get back to normal after your babies are born.
Even if you have had a caesarean birth, you pelvic muscles can still be weak from your pregnancy.
Find out more about staying active in pregnancy
Common pregnancy health worries with twins
It's not necessarily true that you'll have more morning sickness if you're expecting twins.
Although some women expecting twins or more report lots of morning sickness, others do not experience any.
If you do experience morning sickness, you may find it helps to eat little and often, and to avoid getting hungry.
You're more likely to experience piles and varicose veins during a multiple pregnancy because of the weight of your babies pressing on the blood vessels of the pelvic area.
Pressure from your womb (uterus) pushing on your stomach may make you more prone to heartburn and indigestion as well.
You may also find you have backache and pelvic pain, particularly later in your pregnancy.
Speak to your midwife, who may refer you to an obstetric physiotherapist.
If you register with Twins Trust on its website, you can download a healthy multiple pregnancy guide for free.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Tony Parker scored 22 points on his 30th birthday, Tim Duncan had 18 and the San Antonio Spurs beat the fading Los Angeles Clippers 105-88 on Thursday night, pushing their winning streak to 16 and taking a 2-0 lead in their Western Conference semifinal series.
Chris Paul responded to his awful Game 1 with only a slightly better encore, scoring 10 points as the Clippers now head home desperate to steer out of what's starting to get the feel of a sweep.
Blake Griffin led the Clippers with 20 points. His plan to manage his ailing knee so the All-Star would have enough steam for the fourth quarter proved moot, as both teams emptied their benches with another Spurs blowout assured.
Game 3 is Saturday night in Los Angeles.
The All-Star matchup of Paul vs. Parker went from a Game 1 bust to a lopsided mismatch that may have proved Paul is hurting more than he's letting on. Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro says his star is still struggling with an aching hip and groin, even as Paul insists he's OK.
He again looked anything but. While Parker — the last of the Big Three to finally hit the big 3-0 — celebrated by more than tripling his seven points and dreadful 1-for-9 shooting in Game 1, Paul shot 4 of 9 and had just five assists.
At halftime, the third-place finisher in league's MVP voting had more personal fouls (3) than point (2), assists (2) or rebounds (2).
Duncan, on the other hand, stayed in a playoff time warp. At 36 years old and playing in his 182nd postseason game — and with no contract beyond these playoffs — Duncan turned in another solid performance that sometimes recalled the former MVP who was going for his championships in his prime rather than the old-timer who's chasing a fifth ring now.
He scored 14 points in the first half — almost as much as the rest of the starting lineup — and finished 9-of-14 shooting. Points in the paint weren't even close: the Spurs had 50, and the Clippers 18.
Boris Diaw added 16 points and Danny Green had 13 for the Spurs. Manu Ginobili scored 10 and was held scoreless in the second half.
Randy Foye was the Clippers' only other player in double digits, scoring 11.
If this keeps up, a near-historic postseason for the Clippers will end this weekend unless they figure out a plan fast.
This is only the third time in the woeful 41-year history of the franchise that Los Angeles' long-maligned "other" team has survived to the second round. Their momentum started with a stunning 27-point comeback on the road against Memphis in their playoff opener, but the Clippers haven't made a rally stick in San Antonio.
A bumbling start had the Clippers already down by 15 in the first quarter before clawing back with a 9-2 burst. Getting to within 46-42 at halftime had the Clippers' bench heading to the locker room clapping and Spurs coach Gregg Popovich storming off fuming.
Halfway through the third quarter, however, the lead was back to 16.
"There was a refocus of energy at halftime," Duncan said. "We came out understanding of what we had to do to finish this game."
It was another methodical Spurs dissection, yet they're not just sticking to what works. They're still tinkering. Popovich put Splitter alongside Duncan to begin the second half instead of Diaw, who won the starting job at center once the playoffs began.
As the deficit deepened, so did the Clippers' frustration.
DeAndre Jordan seethed and slammed the ball when a missed rotation gave Green an uncontested 3-pointer that stretched San Antonio's lead to back to double digits in the third. Less than a minute later, Foye trotted upcourt shaking his head after Paul's fumbled dribble gave Kawhi Leonard a clear path for a breakaway dunk.
Following another 3-pointer by Green— this one pushing San Antonio's lead to 70-60 — the turned-around Clippers looked so disjointed that Green darted back down and knocked the ball out of Paul's hands on the ensuing inbound.
Notes: The Spurs followed up tying a franchise playoff record with 13 3-pointers in Game 1 with 10 this time… Talk about a pro cut: A 12-year-old Spurs fan suspended from his San Antonio middle school for shaving the face of forward Matt Bonner in his hair scored free tickets to the game and a meeting with his favorite player before tipoff. Bonner, whose mother is a teacher, said he was puzzled by the school's decision and gave Patrick Gonzalez an autographed pair of shoes and an autographed jersey. "Keep supporting us redheads in the NBA," the Red Rocket told his biggest fan.

A good beachbreak with long rides when the conditions are ideal: low tide and a small W swell. This impressive cove picks up any swell going, churning out some long walls and also occasionally some hefty barrels off the high tide rock at the north end. There will be a crowd on small swell weekends, but there are plenty of easy waves stretched across the bay for all abilities.
The name translates as 'Bay of Death' and is justified by the coldest water temps in Finistère. Check out Ile de Sein where there are some good reefs (a boat ride from Audierne). Rips and super-fast offshore currents.

We are the nation's leading resource and advocacy organization for crime victims and those who serve them. Please join us as we forge a national commitment to help victims of crime rebuild their lives.
Across the country, concerned citizens have been working to amend state constitutions to provide rights for victims of crime. While every state provides some legal rights for crime victims as part of their state code, those who have amended their constitutions have sought to ensure three things:
To date, 32 states have amended their constitutions to include
rights of crime victims. Check your state to read the text of any victims' rights amendment. We have also
prepared a comparison of the state amendments.
Many crime victim advocates are also seeking
to amend the United States Constitution. In addition
to having the same benefits as state crime victims' rights
constitutional amendments, a federal amendment would provide
uniformity to victims' rights: a person victimized by crime
anywhere in the United States would be entitled to a standard
set of rights to be informed, present, and heard during
the criminal justice process.
A federal crime victims' rights amendment is currently being considered. H. J. RES. 106 would guarantee victims the following rights: to be notified of and not excluded from public proceedings relating to the offense; to be heard at proceedings involving release, plea, or sentencing; to proceedings free from unreasonable delay; to be notified of the release or escape of the accused; to due consideration of the victims safety; and to restitution. It would also give crime victims standing to assert and enforce their rights.

by Paul A. Morin
Americas stiff upper lip is starting to quiver. At least thats what one may deduce from many of the noises coming from the halls of Congress these days. Resolutions attempting to undermine President Bush could be dismissed as ordinary political posturing if not for the demoralizing effect it has on our troops serving in Iraq.
Contrast todays rhetoric with Winston Churchills resolve. Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter, Great Britains World War II leader said.
The men and women of The American Legion know firsthand about the uncertainty of war, which is why we support the steps that the nations commander in chief is taking to win the global war on terrorism, including his proposed troop surge in Iraq. Unlike the non-binding resolutions Congress is considering to repudiate the presidents strategy, The American Legion passed its own resolution to support winning the global war on terrorism.
Resolution 169 states that The American Legion urges all Americans and freedom-loving peoples everywhere to stand united in their support of the global war on terrorism and united in their support of the troops who are engaged in protecting our values and way of life. Passed unanimously at The American Legions National Convention, Resolution 169 is the heartfelt sentiment of blue-capped Legionnaires who want to express their gratitude and love for the brave men and women who voluntarily fight so others might live free.
Veterans of the Vietnam War remember what it was like to fight without the support of the people back home. Legionnaires realize that not only was their service honorable, but their mission was too. You couldnt separate the war from the warrior then, anymore than we can today.
Yet amazingly some Washington politicians who until recently were still quoting Gen. Eric Shinsekis 2003 call for more troops in Iraq now prefer a resolution of cut and run. If we were to choose that course, it would be tantamount to acceding to Al Qaedas Al-Zawarahiris wish that we Surrender Somalia-style. Moreover, this choice would be a punch in the gut to heroes like Conan Heimdal, a Utah National Guard veteran who was wounded in Iraq.
Once we send our sons, daughters, husbands and wives, we must do all we can to help them secure the peace, sustain the peace and ensure a lasting peace for generations to come, Heimdal said. We have won the war in Iraq. Give our soldiers the strength of a galvanized homefront so we can win the peace in Iraq.
Once upon a time, some of todays congressional critics of the war felt the same way. Sen. Jim Webb reflected on his Vietnam War service in a 1986 interview. The thing weve learned is that you cant debate a war and fight it at the same time, he said. Now, even though we are in the midst of a fight, he advocates leaving Iraq in short order.
Fortunately, some in Congress realize what is at stake. Any resolution that could be construed by American forces that Congress has lost faith in their ability to be successful in Iraq should be rejected because it rings of defeatism at a time when we should be focused on victory, said Sen. Lindsey Graham.
Congress already gave the president the authority to fight this war. He does not need 535 micro-managers. (S)uch a resolution will send a mixed message of division to both our troops and our enemies, said Sen. Joseph Lieberman.
Its a dangerous illusion to believe that we can depart Iraq, Lieberman said, and the inevitable killing fields and terrorist violence will not follow us in retreat even to our own shores. That is why it is right and imperative that we recommit ourselves to success in Iraq.
Certainly surrender in Iraq means terror on our own shores. This is a war for all the marbles. This is a war in which our enemy openly states a desire to subjugate the world under an Islamic state with sharia law. America needs to once again find the resolve it had immediately after 9/11 when we were warned that this war against terrorism would be a long and dangerous undertaking.
In the darkest days of World War II, Churchill offered a warning that spans the decades and is apropos today. Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival.
In short, freedom and terrorism cannot coexist.
Paul A. Morin of Chicopee, Mass. is national commander of the 2.7 million-member American Legion, the nations largest wartime veterans organization.

I wanted to meet Jason Derulo at this year's CMT Music Awards .
I was praying for it. I was preparing for it. And I was hoping it would happen.
I get excited when artists and stars from the wild world of pop, rock, hip-hop and blockbuster movies and TV shows come to Nashville for the awards show. Despite the fact that country music and culture are seemingly more mainstream now than ever before, Hollywood still seems so far removed from our Nashville world sometimes. It's fun to welcome them — even if it is for one night only.
Derulo was definitely one of the most-anticipated special guests performers for the show that evening, so I knew actually getting the chance to chat with him was a longshot. Even bumping into him backstage was unlikely as the halls are bursting with activity and chaos. The stars are rushing in and out of dressing rooms, running down hallways to get to the stage, heading to the glam stations and hanging out in the green room.
So as I made my way through the sea of action and hit the backstage door, I tried not to get my hopes up that Derulo would round the corner and be standing there.
But my prayer was heard and answered. The sea of people parted and there stood the "Talk Dirty" singer — clad in solid white like a knight in shining armor!
And he was grinning from ear to ear, clearly having a blast mingling and being a part of the country music world. We were introduced, and I jumped at the chance to tell him how much I enjoyed his opening performance with Florida Georgia Line and Luke Bryan and, as a fan, to thank him for coming out and being a part of the show.
However, he was quick to proclaim that he was the one who was excited and spoke of what a pleasure it was for him to join the party.
During other conversations backstage, Derulo said he was a fan of country music, especially the songwriting. So just when I thought I couldn't adore him more, he drops that bombshell.
Derulo wasn't the only out-of-town celebrity I encountered. While awaiting Lady Antebellum's rocking performance of their new single "Bartender," I had the good fortune of meeting Beth Behrs, star of the hit CBS show 2 Broke Girls. Not only is she buds with Lady A's Hillary Scott, she's a self-professed country music fanatic, too.
And after sharing a protein bar with the bubbly actress and listening to her sing along to every country song performed from the main stage, I believe her.
And it's not just pop, radio-friendly country she digs. Behrs loves bluegrass, too, and even told me about the hot spot venue for bluegrass fans in Los Angeles where she and her friends visit regularly to hear the incredible music.
What a doll, right? And what a refreshing moment to hearing the excitement in her voice as she spoke so highly of our artists, the songs and the stories.
Hooray for Hollywood — and the rest of the world — for its ever-expanding love of all things country. Ain't it a grand feeling?

tankini are great alternatives to bikinis. Many women are more likely to feel more comfortable with themselves in one rather than a bikini. And why not? The tankini is very flattering on most women.
The tankini is great because it is more modest bikini. It also has a little more style than most swimwear one piece. Another major advantage is that tankini if you still want to tan your entire stomach, you simply roll your tankini top to expose your belly as stated in the sun. Try to do it with one piece!
A woman feels more comfortable in a tankini, not only because she knows she is well, but because the tankini is easy in a physical sense, too. Most women are not accustomed to having to put anything in a costume in one piece during an average day. Women are also used to pull on a pair of underwear and a tank top, however. And it's almost like what a tankini looks and feels. In addition, a tankini remains in place better than a bikini. You do not need to worry about the waves break on you and stealing your suit!

WASHINGTON, April 10 (UPI) -- U.S. President Barack Obama says "tough choices" require reduced spending for NASA but America will remain strong in aeronautics and space technologies.
The president's proposed 2014 budget calls for spending $17.7 billion on NASA programs, a decrease of about $50 million, or 0.3 from the 2012 enacted level, the White House said Wednesday.
The figure reinforces NASA's current balanced portfolio of aeronautics and space technology development, Earth and space science, the development of rockets and capsules to carry explorers deeper into space, and the use of innovative commercial partnerships for crew and cargo transport to the International Space Station, the administration said.
The proposed allocations would fully fund the Space Launch System heavy-lift rocket and Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle, enabling a fight test of Orion in 2014 and the Space Launch System in 2017.
The proposed figure would keep development of the James Webb Space Telescope -- the powerful successor to the Hubble Space Telescope -- on track for a 2018 launch, and would include more than $1.8 billion for Earth Science to revamp the Landsat program and conduct other satellite operations.
The budget includes funding for a proposed NASA mission to rendezvous with a small asteroid, capture it, and return it to a near-Earth orbit where astronauts could visit it and return samples to Earth.

There were problems with the first controls that companies released, as
there are with any v1.0 software, but the point is that architecture of OCX
controls was so much better than that of VBX and provided far more

Judge people quickly? I've had years of Mike's messages to judge him by :)
Of course I've made questionable statements, every comment is questionable,
and I'm happy for people to point out where I might have missed or
misunderstood something. There are often viewpoints that are not considered
by a poster, which is why it's important to keep an open mind and impartial

EPA power grab to regulate ditches, gullies on private property
"Never in the history of the CWA has federal regulation defined ditches and other upland features as �??waters of the United States,'" says Rep. John Mica as lawmakers work across the aisle to rein in out of control agencies.
Lawmakers are working to block an unprecedented power grab by the Environmental Protection Agency to use the Clean Water Act (CWA) and control land alongside ditches, gullies and other ephemeral spots by claiming the sources are part of navigable waterways.
These temporary water sources are often created by rain or snowmelt, and would make it harder for private property owners to build in their own backyards, grow crops, raise livestock and conduct other activities on their own land, lawmakers say.
�??Never in the history of the CWA has federal regulation defined ditches and other upland features as �??waters of the United States,�??�?� said Rep. John Mica (R-Fla.), chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, Rep. Nick Rahall (D-W.Va.), the ranking committee member, and Rep. Bob Gibbs (R-Ohio), chairman of the Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment.
�??This is without a doubt an expansion of federal jurisdiction,�?� the lawmakers said in a May 31 letter to House colleagues.
The unusual alliance of the powerful House Republicans and Democrat to jointly sponsor legislation to overturn the new guidelines signals a willingness on Capitol Hill to rein in the formidable agency.
�??The Obama administration is doing everything in its power to increase costs and regulatory burdens for American businesses, farmers and individual property owners,�?� Mica said in a statement to Human Events. �??This federal jurisdiction grab has been opposed by Congress for years, and now the administration and its agencies are ignoring law and rulemaking procedures in order to tighten their regulatory grip over every water body in the country.�?�
�??But this administration needs to realize it is not above the law,�?� Mica said.
The House measure carries 64 Republican and Democratic cosponsors and was passed in committee last week. A companion piece of legislation is already gathering steam in the Senate and is cosponsored by 26 Republicans.
�??President Obama�??s EPA continues to act as if it is above the law. It is using this overreaching guidance to pre-empt state and local governments, farmers and ranchers, small business owners and homeowners from making local land and water use decisions,�?� Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) said in announcing their measure in March. �??Our bill will stop this unprecedented Washington power grab and restore Americans�?? property rights.�?�
�??It�??s time to get EPA lawyers out of Americans�?? backyards,�?� Barrasso said.
Republicans say the proposal is peppered with loopholes. It suggests that roadside and agricultural ditches will be excluded; however, it also notes several exceptions, such as a connection to navigable or interstate waterways, ditches �??that have relatively permanent flowing or standing water,�?� or a �??bed, bank and ordinary high water mark.�?�
The EPA and Army Corps of Engineers drafted the new guidelines to implement Supreme Court decisions in the Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County case in 2001 and the Rapanos case in 2006 after the decisions removed some waters from federal protection and caused confusion about what remained protected.
However, the lawmakers say the jurisdictional limits set by the court are being ignored in order to justify the expansion of the agencies�?? control.
The new language is intended to protect smaller waters that could potentially feed pollution downstream to larger bodies of water, but because it is not a formal rule, it cannot be enforced in the courts.
�??Although guidance does not have the force of law, it is frequently used by federal agencies to explain and clarify their understandings of existing requirements,�?� the new guidelines say.

Hope you have a lovely time with special folks.
I had the same problem commenting, Amrita. I never could post/comment at those sites. I got around it by changing my browser. I had trouble using Firefox, but i am able to comment using Chrome. (Telling people i was having problems didn't seem to have any effect.)
I do think if i had updated Firefox it might have worked, but i tend not to do all the updating they want you to.
I don't know if this helps, but i was having the same problem.

Hi Amrita,
Yes, those other blogs block my comments too. I'd like to say nice things to those people but the system will not let me.
You and Felisol are about the only people to ever comment on my postings. So I guess hardly anybody out there ever reads what I write, but I keep on posting anyhow.
Enjoy the wedding celebration. I always enjoy the photos you post of life in India.

It's always the poor children who suffer when their parents live irresponsibly. Putting God at the centre of our lives prevents a lot of unnecessary pain and suffering.
Such a lovely smile that girl has.

I am Alison Clark, a trainee at RCAHMS. The site I have chosen is Craigie House and Park, just outside Ayr. The aerial photograph below looks towards the park, just beyond the tenements, now taken up by the caravan park, playing fields and a sports stadium.
A-listed Craigie House was built c1730 for Sir Thomas Wallace, and sold in 1783 to William Campbell, who had made a fortune in India. It is a fine example of 18th century mansion architecture, now used as a business center. Elements of the wooded estate and formal gardens still survive and are managed by Ayrshire council.
It is the wooded estate gardens which led me to make my choice. My father is from Ayr and actually met my mother at Craigie teaching college. As a child the park was a frequent haunt for us as a family and I hope by offering this brief introduction the gardens may become a new stomping ground for a few more families.
RCAHMS has a vast collection of material available to the public through the database Canmore.
For Craigie House, two images available on Canmore show how the House and Estate have developed over the years, with the contrast between the architecture of the original House and the College being particularly obvious.
There are other relevant documents on Canmore for those wishing to undertake research into the original House and Estate including items such as information relating to the stables and doocot which were demolished to make way for the new college building along with the architectural plans for the college.
As part of our traineeship here, the Collections trainees will be undertaking some training in the process of digitisation of documents to make them available to the public through Canmore. This involves the copying of photographs and other records by our professional photographers at RCAHMS, and we will be able to gain some experience in the processing of the material to ensure the images can appear on the database. Those items which have been digitised are then available to view online Material which has not been digitised will still be available to view in the RCAHMS Search Room, using the references provided.
This is what I've chosen for Day of Archaeology, but why not tell us your favourite archaeological sites in Scotland on Twitter using #MyArchaeology.

Congressional Timeline: 1st Congress (March 4, 1789) - 113th Congress (January 3, 2013)
The Congressional Timeline, developed and maintained by The Dirksen Congressional Center, arrays more than 900 of the nation's laws on a timeline beginning with the first Congress in 1789 and continuing to the present. A second timeline "band" depicts major political events as context for Congress's law-making.
• At the beginning date for each Congress, the timeline features session dates, number of recorded votes, total bills introduced and enacted, the partisan composition of both the House and the Senate, information about African-Americans and women serving in that Congress, and links to the presidential administration and to congressional leaders in that Congress. Click the dropdown under "Select a Congress," scroll to the "99th Congress, 1985-1986" and click "Go." In the top band find "January 3, 1985: 99th Congress, First Session, convenes" for an example. Note: Not all this information is available for early Congresses.
• Click on any of the laws and you will see a brief summary of its provisions. In some cases, we link you to the full text of the law and related resources. For example, click on the dropdown under "Select a Congress," scroll to the "88th Congress, 1963-1964" and click "Go." In the top band, drag the timeline to the left and select "July 2, 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1964." There are links to a dozen historical documents, six photographs, and two videos—all related to the passage of that landmark legislation.
• The timeline is searchable in both the "legislation" and "events" bands. If you enter the word "labor" in the filter box for the legislation band and enter "management" in the yellow highlight box, the timeline will clear out all other laws except those that deal with labor. It also will highlight in yellow those that include "management."
That particular search finds these laws in the years following 1933: Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (June 25, 1938), the Farm Labor Supply Act (April 29, 1943), the Employment Act of 1946 (February 20, 1946), the Taft-Hartley Labor-Management Relations Act (June 23, 1947), the Fair Labor Standards Act Amendments of 1949 (October 26, 1949), the Landrum-Griffin Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 (September 14, 1959), the Equal Pay Act of 1963 (June 10, 1963), the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (December 29, 1970), and the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995 (January 23, 1995). Note that the search will identify not only laws with the search words in the title but also laws that contain the terms in their descriptions. This is the case with the Employment Act of 1946, for example.
By selecting "Clear All," the timeline will revert to its original state. There is a separate search feature for the "events" band which works the same way. We do not include descriptions with individual events, however.• Navigation takes place in two ways. Scrolling from right to left or left to right moves you through the entire timeline seamlessly. But you can jump to a particular Congress by selecting it from the boxed list at the top of the timeline.
Any attempt to identify so-called "landmark" laws or laws that broadly represent congressional action is flawed from the outset by subjectivity.Several sources proved particularly helpful in identifying the laws to include on the Congressional Timeline. Stephen W. Stathis's Landmark Legislation 1774-2002 (Washington DC: Congressional Quarterly Press, 2003) is among the best. We also relied on the Vital Statistics on Congress series produced by Norman J. Ornstein, Thomas E. Mann, and Michael J. Malbin and published by Brookings Institution Press; Richard A. Baker's 200 Notable Days: Senate Stories, 1787 to 2002 (Washington DC; U.S. Government Printing Office); and Raymond W. Smock's Landmark Documents on the U.S. Congress (Washington DC: Congressional Quarterly Inc., 1999). Wikipedia, which includes entries describing major events and major legislation for every Congress, and Google are essential in today's Internet-based environment as is the new congress.gov, which replaces the venerable Thomas.gov.

Samuel Eto'o, the 30-year-old Cameroonian soccer player, is leaving the glitz and prestige of Serie A's Inter Milan to play "for an obscure club in the violence-wracked Caucasus region of Dagestan, Russia." From Milan, one of the world's fashion capitals, to Dagestan: the land of the mountains. This would be a very bad rap if it weren't for the fact that with the deal, Eto'o might just become the highest-paid professional athlete in the world.
The club, Anzhi Makhachkala, reportedly agreed to pay Inter Milan a $39 million transfer fee to obtain Eto'o, who will make about $29 million per season. The Wall Street Journal has more on the deal:
In a deal announced Tuesday, Anzhi Makhachkala of the Russian Premier League agreed to pay [Inter Milan] a transfer fee of $39 million to acquire the 30-year-old forward. The team also agreed to a contract with the player that, given Russia's favorable tax rates, would net Eto'o $29 million per season. That not only eclipses the estimated $17.4 million salary Cristiano Ronaldo earns at Real Madrid, it also outstrips the net income of top U.S. stars like Manning, Rodriguez and Kobe Bryant.
The only athlete on earth who might pocket as much is Fernando Alonso, the Spanish Formula One driver for team Ferrari whose contract is worth more than $40 million per year.
Anzhi is owned by Suleiman Kerimov, a (surprise!) Russian oil billionaire and owner of one of the world's "most outrageous yachts." The WSJ describes him as "a lover of elaborate parties and exotic sports cars," and we'll just leave it at that. Kerimov has spent $60 million on transfer fees for star players since he bought the club in January, and his team is now fourth in the Premier League. Eto'o will join a crew of talented Brazilian players that signed with the team under Kerimov's ownership—and like the rest of his teammates, he'll fly in from Moscow for home games to avoid the bouts of civilian violence in Makhachkala.
Eto'o is a great player: In five seasons with Barcelona, he scored 108 goals in 145 appearances, and he had a team-high 37 goals for Inter Milan last season. Under his new contract, and with that productivity, he could earn close to a million dollars a goal in the Land Of The Mountains. And perhaps one day, he too will own an outrageous yacht.
