The Power of First
Who are the most successful bands in rock 'n' roll?
Well, U2 just wrapped up the most profitable tour in music history. They made $736 million in ticket sales. Last year's other big tour success stories were AC/DC and Bon Jovi.
Over the past decade, eight of the top 20 top-grossing acts had a lead singer that will be in his or her sixties this year.
And 94% of the money earned by the biggest acts in the decade went to bands with lead singers over 40. Not one band had a lead singer in his or her 20s.
Consider this. A recent poll in The Hockey News revealed that the five most popular hockey team logos are from teams who were part of the NHL's "Original Six" teams from the league's inception… Chicago, Detroit, Montreal, Toronto, and Boston.
Top-selling soft drink? Coke.
Leading brand of athletic shoes? Nike.
Number one technology brand? Apple.
Top selling ketchup? Heinz.
And the list goes on. Brands that dominate these broad categories are the ones that have been around seemingly forever.
How can a new brand be successful amongst these giants?
The secret is finding a new category to dominate.
Red Bull became the #1 energy drink in the world by establishing an entirely new product category that didn't previously exist. Why compete with Coke when you don't have to?
Vibram established themselves as the leader in five-toed shoes by creating a new product category that we had never seen before. Why would you want to take on Nike?
If you want to make a new brand successful in a crowded marketplace, you need to determine what makes your product unique, and use that difference to create a new product category.
Be first. Be original. Be a leader from day one, and stop wasting time, money, and resources trying to take on an established giant.

Beth Israel Medical Center, New York, NY
Tube thoracostomy is commonly used for the treatment of complicated pleural effusions. A fibrinolytic agent is often administered through the tube as an adjunctive treatment when drainage is deemed "inadequate", but this decision is neither standardized nor consistent. We examined the variations in the definition of inadequate drainage and the potential failure modalities associated with the procedure.
This study applied probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) to perform a quantitative evaluation of different failure modalities. An event tree analysis was performed to model the temporal event sequence of identification of effusion location, assessment of loculation, and thoracostomy tube insertion and maintenance. Fault tree analysis was performed for each of these events taking into account multiple tube insertions, tube clogging and dislocations. Numerical values used for the quantification of tube thoracostomy failure were obtained from reviews of recently published trials and studies. A sensitivity analysis was also performed to prioritize the different failure contributors.
The analyses showed that the presence of multiple loculations contributes significantly to the overall rate of tube thoracostomy failure in about 50% of cases. There are other failure modalities that lead to inadequate tube drainage, many of which are operator dependent, and others procedural and protocol dependent. Sensitivity analysis reveals that improvements in tube placement and in tube maintenance procedures could result in up to fifty percent reduction in tube thoracostomy failure. They may include pleural ultrasonography, and operator training.
Many factors contribute to failure of adequate tube thoracostomy drainage, the most important being loculations of the effusion. Failure rates may be reduced with improvements in procedures and protocols related to tube placement and maintenance.
This study reveals the potential difficulties of comparing different tube thoracostomy studies when the study populations comprise different loculated effusion percentages. Differences in tube insertion protocols and tube maintenance could also significantly affect the success of tube drainage. Our study further suggests that improvement in operator training in tube insertion and placement may reduce tube thoracostomy failure.

It was very very easy......To order the part was also very easy to find.....Once I placed the order it took no time at all to replay to let me know when it was on its way.....I will use this website again in the future for all my appliances that may need repairing.....
slide the bottom door holder on. really easy. bought two just in case another one breaks. was really esy to order the parts too. Thanks.
The plastic shelf on the fresh food section of the door broke. This is the second time this has happened and the replacement shelf I just received has a hairline crack in the same area. The small tabs that hold the shelf are very weak. I was able to reinforce the area using tape before I installed the new shelf. Hopefully this will last. We do not place heavy object on the door due to this weakness so I cannot give a reason for it failure.
website was very easy to use and find what I needed. I received the part and just placed it in the slot.
slid the new clips onto the door holder. I took 2 tries before it stayed on as it was a little tricky but not too tricky.
Removed the broken bin and slid the new bin into the bracket on the door.
The experience of internet part ordering and delivery was sensational. As a widow and older person, I am not as comfortable with online shopping and ordering. The part came the next day! The packaging was exceptional; no breakage. The part fit perfectly. I was very impressed with the PartSelect process from ordering to delivery to installation.

Dealer Sales Reviews
Fabulous ExperienceWritten by jenniferjb on 07/02/11 10:50:46 AM PDT Go back to Sales reviews
Recommend this dealer? Yes Purchased a vehicle from this dealer? Yes
After finding a car that I was interested on the website, I called Toyota Marin and found out that the car was actually located in a different city at one of the sister dealerships. But, Victor Duru (the salesman I spoke with) had the car driven to the Marin dealership that evening for me so that I didn't have to drive to the other--and much more distant--city. Victor outlined everything on the phone with me, from prices to trade-in rates to warrantee information, so when I came in the next morning to check out the car, I knew exactly what I was getting into. The car was fabulous, the test drive route really showcased the vehicle's performance, the trade-in value offered for my car was top dollar, and Victor was awesome to deal with. The whole experience was casual and friendly while still remaining professional, and there wasn't a time where I felt pressured or uncomfortable in any way. The management and the warrantee gentlemen were very personable as well, and the entire experience was overall fantastic. This was my first time purchasing a car on my own at a dealership and I couldn't have asked for a better transaction. I could keep prattling on about how positive everything was, but I'll summarize with this: should I ever need another car, I will absolutely return to Toyota Marin.
Dealership Experience
On behalf of Toyota Marin, I would like to thank you for this positive review. At Toyota Marin, our goal is to provide 100 percent customer satisfaction. We believe in going above and beyond for our customers. We will do everything in our power to make sure our customers have an amazing experience. We focus on being helpful, informative, friendly, trustworthy and professional. We are very pleased to learn you enjoyed your experience at our dealership. Victor will be very happy to hear about your visit. Once again, thank you for your stellar review. We look forward to helping you again in the future. Regards, Mike Christian General Manager - Toyota Marin

Wish those video's were around when I was building my 34 Coupe started back in 1992 but of course there was nothing like that available at the time so I had to rely on the manual Classic Motor Carriages supplied and my own knowledge gained over the years working on my different cars that I owned since the late 60's. The cheap way out is doing most of your finding of parts through the junkyard if you are looking for a rear,trans,engine and some other parts. Problem today is you may not find some of the parts you need and will have to buy new from some of the Street Rod Shops around. It could be a costly project when you add everything all up during your build. Ask around and see how much money others have put into their Street Rods and you will be amazed at how much was spent. I probably already mentioned somewhere on this forum that I purchased a front clip from a Mustang II back in '92 and used the factory stamped upper and lower control arms from it and rebuilt them with new ball joints and bushings. Most people building today and for years have been buying the Tubular ones from Street Rod Shops brand new. They can be expensive and add to your cost but they do look good. I also as mentioned used the power booster and master cylinder out of the '89 Mustang LX and the Rear End from it. I bartered a 350 Turbo Trans from a Transmission Repair Shop that I sell parts to being in the auto parts business and purchased my seats from someone else with another '89 Mustang LX. Most everything else that I can think of I purchased brand new such as my ZZ4 Series Engine but even found that pretty cheap still sitting in the crate that someone else did not use for a project at only $2100 back then. Actually it is the first of the ZZ4 series stamped ZZZ built in '89.

Cavs use long-range bombs to block out Suns
(The Sports Xchange) - Guard Kyrie Irving scored 22 points in 24 minutes and hit his team's 17th three-pointer just before the shot clock buzzer with 21 seconds left as the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the fading Phoenix Suns 101-97 on Monday.
Guard J.R. Smith scored 17 points including five three-pointers for the Cavaliers (20-9), who avoided their first three-game losing streak of the season after back-to-back road losses to Golden State and Portland.
Forward Kevin Love had 16 points and seven rebounds and guard LeBron James added 16 points and seven assists for Cleveland, who made 17-of-41 three-pointers in the game.
Forward T.J. Warren had 13 of his season-high 23 points in the fourth quarter for the Suns (12-21), who have lost five in a row and 16 of the last 21 games overall.
Brandon Knight had 18 points and Jon Leuer and P.J. Tucker had 14 each for Phoenix.
Two days after losing to the 2-29 Philadelphia 76ers, the Suns put up a much better fight but suffered the same result.
Down by as many as 11 in the second half, Phoenix inched within one at 96-95 on a three-pointer by Knight with 1:27 left.
The Suns had a chance to take the lead but another Knight three-pointer was wiped out by a Tyson Chandler offensive foul with 46.6 seconds left.
Cleveland had a disjointed possession but James saved the ball from going out of bounds before Love found Irving for a long three-pointer that gave his team some breathing room. Continued...

Gabriel O'Neal - "I started very early. I played YMCA football when I was about seven. I actually played every sport all through high school. I just got a great opportunity to play football here, so that's why I'm here."
Gene: You were also a very good student in high school weren't you? And did it carry over to college as well?
O'Neal - "Yeah, I'm pretty good. Yeah, and it carried over to college, too. My freshman year I had a 4.0. And I'm still in the three-point range."
Gene: How did you wind up such a good student?
O'Neal - "My mom always stayed on me. She said don't take football as the only thing because you have to have that education for your life after football. You can't depend on football for everything, so I just took advantage of that and got my school work done."
Melissa: Royce, what are your career plans after Mississippi State?
Royce Blackledge - "I recently graduated with a degree in Management Construction and Land Development. And I'm currently working on my masters in Industrial Technology. Plus, I'm engaged to Alana Walters who is from back home in Laurel. She just finished school. We are going to see how the whole football thing works out - if it's meant to be or if it's not. If not, then I'll just go to work. Either way, I'll be happy."
Melissa: Do you want to play pro ball?
Blackledge - "I would like to have a shot at it if it's meant to be. If it's not, then that's ok, too. I came up here to get a degree and that's what I got. Hopefully, it will give me more job opportunities and allow me to get a decent job."
Gene: Royce, what kind of job are you looking for?
Blackledge - "Anything in construction. That's always been an interest of mine. So, hopefully, I will be able to do some construction estimating or be a project manager. Or scheduling projects. Things like that."
Gene: Kyle, you know I have my sources. I've heard you actually wanted to play basketball? Were you a point guard or center (asked tongue in cheek. Drew laughs from everybody)?
Kyle Love - "I played center in high school."
Gene: So, how did you wind up playing football instead of basketball?
Love - "Basketball was my first love. But after I got older and in a higher level in high school I realized I wasn't tall enough to play basketball. So, that kind of drew me away from it."
Gene: You were tall width-wise but not height-wise? (said with tongue in cheek)
Love - "Yeah, I was tall that way, not the other way (laugh)."
Gene: Did you completely give it up or continue playing?
Love - "Yeah, I kept playing basketball, but I was more focused on football because I realized that I had the opportunity to go and get a scholarship to play football. So, I kept putting everything into football and went on with it."
Gene: When did you realize that you were going to get an opportunity to get a college football scholarship?
Love - "It was like after my 10th grade year that I really realized it. My 9th grade year, when I got there, I was a big guy. So, scouts were already looking at me. They were asking my coach what year was I. They were kind of disappointed because they found out that I was only a freshman. So, right after my 10th grade year I realized that I had a chance. I went to combines and camps and that kind of helped me realize it, too."
Melissa: Coach Sylvester Croom talks about character and discipline, which this team has an abundance of. Now that you are here, how has Coach Croom helped you continue to improve yourself as a person?
Love - "When we got here, Coach Croom really helped us develop our skills, socially, on and off the field. He helps us out any way that he can. He's really a great guy. "
Melissa: How great is the pressure to know your faces are the faces of MSU and you always have to do the right thing? How difficult is that pressure to bear?
O'Neal - "Being a football player you are a big guy on campus, a lot of people speak to you. You know a lot of faces around here, so you have to show respect to people off the field as well as on the field. If a person comes up to you and says, 'hey, how are you doing,' you can't be like, 'I don't know you.' In so many places you are like the face of the Bulldogs, you are a target, so you have to stay out of trouble. If you get into any little thing the newspapers are going to find out about it. Somebody will find out about it. So, you have to stay focused and stay out of trouble and be a role model."
Gene: But that's almost like saying that you can't be a kid, a regular student.
O'Neal - "It's all in being a younger adult. You have to mature as you go. You can't always be a kid and play around, joke and take things for granted. To me, college football is more a professional sport anyway, like a business. So, you have to conduct yourself like it's a business."
Gene: Isn't that tough to do, though?
Blackledge - "They told us since we've been here it's like living in a fish bowl. So, everywhere we go somebody is watching, whether it's a little kid or somebody else. You go into a restaurant, little kids who don't even know who you are can pick you out as a football play. So, like Gabe said, you have to keep your head on straight. When somebody (on the team) gets in trouble, they look at the whole football team. They don't just look at you. So, you have to keep your head on straight and always do the right thing. And a lot of times that's tough to do when you are on a college campus because there are a lot of activities going on that are hard to turn away from. But you have to be a man about it and not do those things."
Melissa: Do you take the freshmen when they first come in and tell them what kind of things you expect from them when they are on campus and in town?
Blackledge - "Yeah, you just about have to or they won't know right from wrong."
Gene: Considering you are almost like being in a fish bowl, is it fun being a football player off the field?
Love - "Yeah, it's fun - it has its ups and down, but it's fun."
Blackledge - "It is fun. We have a great time. We can hang out with each other, have cookouts and do things together. We still go out and have a good time with each other."
Melissa: Are you guys setting a pattern for all future players to live by when they get here?
Love - "Yeah, we have left a pattern because everybody that comes in from now on will now know how to act on and off the field. It doesn't matter where they are, they will know how to act. They will hang out with us and see the pattern we set."
Melissa: Does that pattern stem from the head coach?
O'Neal - "Yeah, if your head guy sets those rules and he's living by them, he's walking that same walk that he's preaching to you, you think if he can do it, we can do it, too. When that standard is set, the guys who come in will know that's what the coaches and older players expect so I'm got to live up to those standards."
Melissa: This team of players seems to be closer to each other than in years past. Am I correct in saying that?
Blackledge - "That's right. I don't think the players were as close to each other. I guess everybody kind of did their own thing. But we are like a family now. I can call any of the guys on the team for anything I need and I'm sure they would be there. And I would do the same thing for them."
Gene: Kyle, describe Royce as a player.
Love - "Royce is a great football player. He's made a great difference between last year and this year. He blocked great last year, but this year he's blocked even better. I believe he can make it to the League because he has good hands, good feet, and once he gets those clamps on you it's hard to get him off of you."
Gene: Royce, describe Gabe as a football player?
Blackledge - "I think the best word to describe Gabe is he is a winner on and off the field. You know what you are going to get out of him every week that we play a game and when he's off the field. Gabe is not going to get into any trouble. He's going to represent the university well."
Gene: Gabe, describe Kyle as a player?
O'Neal - "I would describe Kyle as an up-and-coming star. He is a very good young guy. When he first got here, he was a little overweight and didn't get along with the coaches very well. Since then, he's turned into a great guy. He's making a lot of plays and he's getting excited. I'm really happy to see the young guys like him excel and be the best they can."
Gene: Kyle, it took you a little time adjust to the coaches. Is that normal for a young guy just coming from high school?
Love - "That is normal because coming out of high school, you are used to the coaches from high school. So, you have to get used to the new coaches in college. When I first got here, I had to learn how to deal with these coaches. And I did that."
Gene: How long did that take?
Love - "It didn't take that long. It took some time, but not that long. But I'm used to them now."
Melissa: Now, for my one football question. A loss like we had against West Virginia, how will that affect our game against Kentucky?
O'Neal - "Coach (Ellis) Johnson showed us a great stat yesterday. The first quarter we gave up 221 yards on defense. In the second quarter, they had negative 3, the third quarter they had 25, the fourth quarter they had 75. So, if we just come out and don't make the little mental mistakes and just put a complete game together, imagine what we could do. Actually, we are giving the opposition everything they get off of turnovers and penalties, things like that. We just have to do the little things and continue to work."
Gene: What would going to a bowl game mean to you two seniors?
Blackledge - "Going to a bowl game would mean the world to me. This is my fifth year here and we haven't won over three ballgames a year since I've been here. And we are sitting 4-4 with four ballgames left. We can win them all, but just to pull two wins out get that number six, the magic number."
O'Neal - "Guys who have been here longer than I have, guys like Royce, Dezmond (Sherrod), (Eric) Butler, J-Hub (Jason Husband); they've been through the struggles the whole time. We all look at it as our one last chance to do it. Imagine if we make a bowl game. Nobody has experienced that around here. The fans would be excited. The coaches and players would be excited. It would be great."

UN To Save Iraq's Marshlands
Expand Messages
- UN Launches Project To Save Iraq's Marshlands
Iraqi Marshlands, still could be restored?
BAGHDAD, July 25 (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) The United
Nations Environment Program (UNEP) has launched an eleven-million-
dollar project to restore the environment and provide clean drinking
water for Iraqis in the 5000-year-old Marshlands of Mesopotamia.
The Marshlands, considered by some to be the location of the Biblical
Garden of Eden, were massively damaged in the late 20th Century,
partly as a result of new dams on the Tigris and Euphrates river
systems and partly as a result of massive drainage operations by the
previous Iraqi regime, according to the UNEP web site.
During the seventies, more than 500,000 Arabs lived in the area but
were displaced as a result of projects on the rivers.
In 2001, UNEP alerted the world to their plight when it released
satellite images showing that 90 per cent of these fabled wetlands,
home to rare and unique species like the Sacred Ibis and African
darter, and a spawning ground for Gulf fisheries, had been lost.
Experts fear the Marchlands could disappear altogether by 2008.
A UN survey found that most Iraqis in the region were collecting
water directly from the Marshlands, that many settlements lacked
basic sanitation and that waterborne diseases were commonplace.
The Marshlands were vital to the fisheries of the Arab Gulf,
filtering polluted water from northern cities and purifying it before
it reached the southern rivers and the city of Basra.
With the collapse of the former Iraqi regime in mid-2003, local
residents began opening floodgates and breaching embankments in order
to bring water back into the marshlands.
Satellite images indicate that, by April this year, around a fifth or
some 3,000 square kilometers of the marshes had been re-flooded.
The project brings hope to Marsh Arabs
The Japan-funded project, launched on Friday, July 23, will support
the sustainable development and restoration of the Marshlands through
implementation of environmentally sound technologies.
The challenge now is to restore the environment and provide clean
water and sanitation services to the up to 85,000 people living
Drinking water and sanitation systems will be installed in key
communities and pilot wetlands restoration undertaken for the benefit
of people and wildlife.
The project, approved in the framework of the UN Iraq Trust Fund,
will initially target around a dozen settlements with small-scale
water treatment systems some of which are likely to be solar powered.
Reed beds and other marshland habitats which act as natural, water-
filtration systems, will be restored which will benefit not only
local residents but also provide new habitats for birds and other key
Other activities will include the setting up of a Marshland
Information Network, an Internet-based system that will allow those
with an interest in the region to share their ideas and strategies.
Satellite images, documenting how restoration work is faring and
chronicling changes in vegetation and the progress of re-flooding,
will be posted on the site almost daily.
Some of the funds will support public awareness schemes, both locally
and internationally.
The project will also help train the Iraqi authorities, both at
national government and local levels.
It will train experts in wetland management and restoration, remote
sensing analysis and community-based resource management.
Several other governments and non-governmental organizations are
involved in the Iraqi Marshlands.
The UNEP project aims to strengthen the coordination of these various
efforts to ensure maximum benefit for the people and wildlife there.
It is envisaged that this coordinated approach will be applied to the
future development of a wider Marshlands strategy in the region.
Klaus Toepfer, UNEP's Executive Director, said: " The Marshlands of
Mesopotamia constitute the largest wetland ecosystem in the Middle
East And Western Eurasia. They are also culturally significant. UNEP
has taken a keen interest in their fate, documenting their
destruction and alerting the world to their demise".
"I am therefore delighted that the Japanese government has stepped in
to support a new beginning for the Marshlands and the Marsh Arabs.
Half the world's wetlands have been lost in the past 100 years. I am
sure that the lessons learnt during this project will provide
important clues on how to resuscitate other lost and degraded
wetlands elsewhere on the globe," he added.

Hi, how well do these programs work? Win7 home premium 32bit................... which I wish was 64!
You can run off a repair disc using recdisc.exe( just type it into start search box). It includes the exact same system recovery (repair) options that are already on the dvd. These repair functions are very useful - particularly if you can't get into Windows. Boot the dvd /recovery cd and you can access, startup repair, restore system image ( if you already have one - and if it can find it ), as well as system restore and command line. System Image - makes an image of your o/s and additional partitions if you like. The idea is you can restore the entire image if you get into trouble - then you would be in the exact same position as when you made the image. There are 3rd party apps. that do the imaging much better - many of them have free versions.
Thanks, I guess I should have mentioned that I know what they do. I was wondering if they do a good job or not. I do have Norton Ghost 14 but didn't know if it works with 7 and also I kind of dislike Norton products. What's your favorite freebie and why?
I am using Paragon Drive Backup 10 Server - not exactly a freebie - and not released yet. Paragon do have a good free one - it's new - lots of functions: Paragon Backup & Recovery 10 Free Edition - Overview The other good free one is Macrium - not as may functions as Paragon freebie - but incredibly small and fast: Macrium Reflect FREE Edition - Information and download I have found Paragon and Macrium totally reliable

Local Power will take plenty of running down
Local Power was desperately unlucky not to figure in the finish at his last outing and he should have little trouble in returning to his best in the middle pin of tomorrow night's Triple Trio at Happy Valley.
With the TT only being partially won last week, the main prize is expected to reach HK$8 million, and Local Power looks a standout banker, despite having to overcome a wide barrier.
The Dennis Yip Chor-hong-trained gelding displayed plenty of promise in his first four appearances, before scoring an impressive win at the Valley on January 16.
He was fired to the front from gate eight by apprentice Terry Wong Chi-wai before being rated to perfection and kicking strongly in the straight to beat the in-form Chater Silk.
He was sent out a solid second favourite at his next outing over 2,000m at Sha Tin 32 days later but, after enjoying an easy run on the back of the leader, he was hopelessly blocked in the straight before finishing ninth to Industrial Express.
From gate 10 this time, Wong should have little trouble in crossing to the front and Local Power will be the one they all have to gun down.
Real Special is also poorly drawn in gate 11 but he should also take a prominent position in the run and shapes up as the main danger.
The John Size-trained three-year-old was successful at his second start, before being narrowly beaten at his next outing by Mythic Steed.
He wasted little time in returning to his best five weeks later when accounting for the promising Danesis and he gives the impression he is on his way to better races.
The other main contender is the last-start winner Viva Fighter, who should relish a rise to 1,800m, while other worthy inclusions are Mastery, Prime Target and Silver Mark.
In the opening leg, Romantic Green fits the banker bill as he is primed to get the run of the race from gate two.
The Caspar Fownes-trained gelding turned in a terrific effort two starts back after attempting to lead all the way, and his performance last week when posted off the track from a wide gate had plenty of merit.
He will get a much easier time of things on this occasion and he won't get a better chance to open his winning account.
Wong's Favourite has been a revelation this term in winning three on the trot, and he shapes up as the one to beat again, while third-up specialist Double Pleasure, Frontier and Jade China are others to keep safe.
In the final leg, the race-fit My Luck looks perfectly placed with a claim and he should be able to return to his best.
He looked the winner last Wednesday before peaking on his run late to finish a close-up third to High Intelligent, but with the advantage of Wong's claim he meets that gelding nine pounds better.
He has shown himself to be a superior horse when backing up within seven days and he appears a strong chance to get a nice run on the back of the speed, despite jumping from gate nine.
His toughest opposition will likely come from High Intelligent, Dashing Thunder, Money Man, Diamond Era and Quest For Love.

Water Island was described as 'A Homeland Treasure' in the front page, feature article of the Boston Globe travel section (December 6, 2009).
Windswept 2 is a newly constructed (2009) two bedroom, two bathroom oceanfront, semi-attached condominium perched on a cliffside. It is one of five condominiums located on this 1.3 acre property with breathtaking views from every window. At night enjoy the sparkling lights of St. Thomas across the bay. Listen to the waves crashing against the rocks, the trade winds blowing and taste the salt from the ocean on your lips.
Enjoy your morning coffee on either the front or back lanai watching the cruise ships arrive in St. Thomas Harbor. In the evening, enjoy cocktails at the swim up bar, in the 12X30 shared pool, overlooking Flamingo Bay. If you tire of lounging around the pool, the warm turquoise waters of the Caribbean can be enjoyed at Honeymoon Beach, which is a short five minute ride in the four person golf cart available during your stay. You will find Heidi's Honeymoon Grill on the beach offering lunch most days of the week. New for the 2013-2014 season is Dinghy's on the beach which offers lunch, dinner and drinks seven days a week. On Saturday evenings, you can enjoy the true island experience of an excellent gourmet dinner, served by Heidi, on the beach (In season). Relax with the sound of the water lapping at the shore and the sun setting over the ocean.
For a change of pace, St. Thomas is ten minutes away by public ferry offering shopping and world class restaurants. If golf is your passion, the beautiful golf course, Mahogany Run is located on St. Thomas. After enjoying the city amenities, return to quiet, laid back Water Island where golf carts out number vehicles.

Keywords: Tropical paradise, high end, surrounded by mesmerizing views, turquoise water, gorgeous nearby beach
My wife and I live in Falmouth, Maine. I am a retired Portland firefighter and my wife is a retired nurse. We love to travel, meet new people and see amazing places. We love living on the rugged coast of Maine most of the time. Our winters can be long and we always look forward to escaping to the warm tropics.
Charles & Karen Dumond purchased this condo in 2009
A few years ago, friends told us about a piece of oceanfront property in the Caribbean that housed an old five-unit military barrack. Our friends were looking for four other couples to build a total of five units on the site. While my wife and I never considered the possibility of owning oceanfront property in the Caribbean, this seemed like a great opportunity. Without even discussing it, my wife and I looked at each other and said 'yes'.
In 2006, we put a down payment on the property, before even seeing it. We had never heard of Water Island! If our adult children did something like this, we would call them irresponsible!
Stepping on the property for the first time was unbelievable. How could we not have known about Water Island? The pictures we had seen just didn't come close to the amazing views all around. Maybe we weren't so crazy after all! This was definitely one of those 'Once in a lifetime opportunities!' We knew immediately that owning a vacation home on this spot was going to be very special. We could not believe that we had been lucky enough to fall into this and kept waiting for everything to fall apart!
For the next three years, we planned and worked towards completing this villa from our home in Maine. No easy feat, and lots of 'oh by the ways!' Building on an island is difficult enough, doing it from a distance, adds to the fun!!!
In the Fall of 2009, our vacation villa was completed adjacent to the villa of our good friends. We started sharing it with family and close friends. Their first reactions on seeing Water Island and Windswept were: 'Unbelievable, gorgeous, breathtaking!'
In 2010, we had our first rental guests. We consider ourselves fortunate to have wonderful guests who enjoy Windswept and Water Island as much as we do. We love to hear that we have helped them have a relaxing vacation and truly get away from it all. We get a lot of satisfaction from helping people create lasting memories and hope you are our next guest!
Coffee in the morning on the front patio while watching the sun come up over the tip of St. Thomas as the cruise ships enter St. Thomas Harbor. Dinner time drinks at the swim up bar as the sun sets in the west. Riding around the island in the golf cart and stopping for lunch at the beach. Saturday night dinner on Honeymoon Beach as the sun sets and the Monday night movies at the beach. Quiet evenings with the only sound being the waves crashing against the rocks below and the trade winds blowing.
We've now stayed/visited all 4 USVI and agree Windswept 2 on Water Island is our favorite spot!! It's perfect with a very easy pace vibe, only golf carts to explore the island & very friendly locals. Doug, who oversees the property, met us at the dock after a quick water taxi ride to Water Island. He was very welcoming & showed us around the condo. It was comforting knowing he was close by, if we needed anything.
Windswept 2 is a piece of paradise with amazing views. We were awakened by a beautiful sunrise as cruise ships headed into St. Thomas & evenings captured amazing sunsets while enjoying a glass of wine, poolside. It definitely lives up to its name with tropical breezes, never turned on the A/C.
It just doesn't get any better!!
Owners, Chuck & Karen, have thought of everything to meet the needs of their guests. They factor in all the comforts of home with high quality linens, towels, beach towels, beach chairs, snorkeling gear & the list goes on. The condo has been well maintained and VERY clean. They've thought of everything so all we needed to do was relax & enjoy our week.
They contacted us before our trip to answer any last minute questions. Having Celiac can make traveling tricky and they made suggestions that worked out very well. We were able to call Heidi, owner of Heidi's Honeymoon Grill, and she had gluten free buns/wraps to meet our needs. The grill is right on Honeymoon Beach and serves delicious food!! Dinghy is another spot on the other end of the beach & we enjoyed their live music a few times.
Honeymoon Beach is absolutely gorgeous! We loved snorkeling right off the beach and observing the resident sea turtles.
It was very sad leaving our little slice of paradise, but look forward to returning to Windswept 2 in the future with family or friends!!!!
Our family of 4 just returned from a week long stay on Water Island. We loved the unique experience of being on a less inhabited island where the pace was slow and the views great. Even when cruise ship groups visited Honeymoon Beach we never felt it was over run. We loved waking up each morning to the sunrise out our master bedroom window and counting the cruise ships heading to port in St. Thomas. Sunsets from the pool or from a quick golf cart drive up to sw corner of the island were spectacular! The owners were amazingly prompt and helpful in responding during the booking process. The information they shared ahead of time was much appreciated in making plans of what to bring. We have rented in other locations in the US and feel these owners truly set the stage for us "feeling at home" with high quality linens and towels, books, games, beach gear, nice array of staples in the kitchen etc. We enjoyed bingo night at the pavilion and meeting the locals who we found very friendly. For those planning to book I would recommend considering making flight plans that bring you to St. Thomas by mid afternoon and not fly out until late morning in order to avoid hassles with planning for ferry plans that sync with airline plans. We loved being on Water Island and our great accommodations so much that we only left the island twice to explore St. Thomas and cancelled our plans for additional island hopping. We hope to come back someday and bring others with to rent Windswept 1 and II together for a fun time!
Everything you could possibly want! Perfect vacation for family, including 20 and 22 year old daughters Plenty of activities Day trip to St. Thomas made us really happy to be on Water Island
My husband and I spent 2 weeks at Windswept 2 and it will forever be the benchmark for future vacations. Karen and Chuck are so attentive and responsive. The condo is well maintained and well appointed. Being able to wake to the sunrise every morning was very special. The pool was very refreshing and a great way to start and end the day. It was quiet and peaceful.
Honeymoon beach was a highlight and the snorkeling was great, so many fish to see as well as the turtles. The food at Dinghy's was great and the staff were a lot of fun. It was great to explore the island in the golf cart. We had Jacquie shop for us and it was wonderful to have food at the condo when we got there. Went into St. Thomas a couple of times and the ferry is so convenient.
Cannot say enough about how wonderful Windswept II and Water Island are.
This is the most relaxing vacation I have ever been on in the Caribbean and look forward to returning some day.
We had a wonderful stay at Windswept 2 in July 2016. It's a cozy, 2-story, tropical condo that shares a pool and courtyard area with three similar residences. It was comfortable, clean as a whistle, and well-maintained. There were numerous supplies provided that I'd stressed about forgetting to pack: bug spray & zappers, flashlights, & batteries, drinking water, coffee, beach towels, scuba gear -- all left for guest comfort and much appreciated. The internet and TV worked fine. There was a washer & dryer, although we packed amply and didn't need to use it. The air conditioning and ceiling fans in the two upstairs bedrooms helped us all sleep well (and many other rentals on the Island have no A/C, so beware if you are going there in the summer.) The downstairs has no A/C, but with the constant breeze through the jalousie windows, it was OK. The breeze also kept the mosquitos and bugs away, as we never saw any there. We miss the sound of the wind on the hilltop (Windswept is aptly named!) and the beautiful view of St. Thomas and the twinkling lights at night.
We were on Water Island for a family event and reunion, and many relatives were staying at a different, larger and more pricey rental where the A/C was out way more than it worked, and there were some plumbing and various maintenance issues. It was such a pleasure after staying there for a few days to head back to the comforts of Windswept 2, where all was in order and everything worked! This even extended to the included golf cart (the mode of transportation on this tiny island.) Our Windswept cart worked better than any that our friends & relatives rented.
Windswept 2 is up on a ridge overlooking the ocean. When you take the golf cart to the end of the block, there is a sign that says: "Stop, Den Go!" Only problem I had as our designated driver (who is also admittedly directionally impaired), was that I didn't know where to go! I took many wrong turns and got lost a couple of times. Water Island is tiny and only has a few roads, but they aren't really marked, so keep that in mind. It actually added to the fun in retrospect, but if it rains or you're in a rush, try to find a map of the island that shows where everything is located.
Water Island's Honeymoon Beach is great, with a bar/casual restaurant at each end: Heidi's and Dinghy's, which had great frozen drinks and movie & karaoke nights. Side trips were Mountaintop on St. Thomas and a bus tour of St. John (via ferry).
The service was prompt and spot on. The unit has sunrise and sunset views over the ocean - incredible.
Owner is happy to assist with activity information on request.

usually considered safe. On the other hand if you see a website offering a free iPad that you have never seen before and has no followers you will need to research before entering their competition.
Create a new email address that is dedicated for applications to freebie websites. Email address that are used on these sites often find their way onto other mailing lists. This means tonnes of mail from marketers across the globe. You do not want important email be lost in all trash.
Avoid Scams by using Legitimate Sources.
When in search for free stuff giveaways always use reputable sources such as competitions crazy to find the best in free stuff from all across Australia. Competitions crazy has organised and compiled reputable giveaways for promoters across the internet all in one place.
You can also find free samples giveaways when you visit major shopping chains.Search through a list of your favourite stores using google search tool to find free samples if they are present they will show up in the free samples section of the website.
You can get free stuff for your for all categories of your home such as home and garden, children, pets and many other items.

Hey, in different places, sometimes here, I talk about places, dogs, babies in Cole Valley, where I live.
It's about a mile, over the hill from the Inner Sunset, where our offices are. (Insert "over the hill" joke here.)
I do spend a lot of time at Reverie cafe.
… and I've referred before to Nico, one of my favorites!
I think I'll do more of these…?

In all honesty that's about the best price you will find anywhere short of building it yourself. The raw parts involved in that build cost about $1000 so they are making almost nothing on the sale.
It is build cost! That link is a recipe for a build-it-yourself PC.

There are DI boxes...and then there's the V-TONE BASS BDI21—the feature-packed analog DI box built especially for bass.
Not Your Average DI Box
The BDI21 combines the features of an active DI (direct injection) box with our proprietary tube emulation circuitry. It's like having a truckload of vintage tube amps right at your toes! The Blend control allows you to mix the amount of tube emulation you want with your direct bass signal. And if you don't want to use the tube emulation feature, just step on the switch and the ADI21 functions as a superb active DI box.
So Easy to Use
With its dedicated DRIVE, TREBLE, BASS, LEVEL, and PRESENCE dials, the BDI21 DI box goes above and beyond, giving you vintage tube tones for some funked-up slap, gonzo overdrive and everything in-between. You can use the BDI21 as a recording output DI, with tube emulation, or as a standard active DI box, when running in bypass mode. The output is laid out on 1/4" TS or balanced, gold-plated XLR connectors. There's also a ground lift switch that eliminates typical ground loop hum problems. You can power this bad boy with a 9V battery or our PSU-SB DC power supply (not included).
When it comes to DI boxes, you can go with simple injection, or plug into the BDI21 to add some badass tube-like fuel injection to your bass.
If you want to:
- Make product changes;
- Create something not in stock
6,000 + (and growing) factories in our existing network are eager to make it for you.
When it comes to selling in stock products, we are no difference from many other Internet retailers, but we take pride in going extra miles to do something special for you: Have some products custom made for you.
We cannot do everything, but we usually can accommodate a certain changes in product options such as color, size, material, or minor design twist. We primarily work with vendors or factories, not individual artist or craftsman. For custom made products, we usually only cater to bulk size order that meets the minimum quantity requirement of a single factory run. Don't be shy. Ask. What we can accomplish may surprise you!

State says hundreds likely sickened by toxic chemicalOct 29, 2006
A report from the state Department of Human Resources says an industrial waste plant is likely responsible for sickening more than 600 residents in Fairburn and nearby communities by exposing them to a toxic chemical used in crop pesticides.
A survey issued last week by the department shows consistent symptoms among those after the Philip Services Corporation plant released a noxious odor into the air in June. The culprit was propyl mercaptan, a substance used to give an offensive smell to otherwise odorless, highly toxic chemicals.
The smell has been blamed for hundreds of illnesses in residents and the death of some pets.
According to DHR surveys of 622 residents of Fairburn and Fayetteville, 96 percent reported symptoms such as headaches, burning eyes, coughs or sore throats, nausea and difficulty breathing. Of those surveyed, 187 people sought medical attention.
Still, plant officials say while the smell was inconvenient, there is no proof it caused residents to get sick.
Paul Butsavage, area operations manager for the plant, says quote "While the odors may have been a nuisance, there is no scientific evidence that proves the odors were a health hazard."
Residents say the odor which smells like strong onions or garlic persists even five months later.

|Ship Quality
|Not enough bathrooms in public areas especially by the Caneletto dining room. Always a line. I know you should use your own bathroom but when you're on the Prominade deck and your room is on the Lido deck\, that's a long walk.
|Food and Dining
|The food was decent. The 5:30 dinner time is way to early. Will never book that dining time again.
|Cabin / Stateroom
|The room was kind of small but was comfortable.
|Service and Staff
Most shows were 30 minutes or less. You waited longer for it to start than the performance because you needed to get in the theater or the Vista Lounge pretty early to secure a seat.
Enjoyed the trumpeter and the Las Vegas pianist a lot. The illusionist and the ventriloquist were just OK. The ventriloquist was downright painful at his second show. Seats were a premium at most activities. Went to an afternoon lecture by Kevin Hughes and arrived 15 minutes early and couldn't find a seat.
For a 14 days cruise not many deck parties.

Increased interconnection on data route to drive more opportunity for Nordic businesses
The most recent short interest data has been released for the 04/28/2017 settlement date, and we here at Dividend Channel like to sift through this fresh data and order the underlying components of the S&P 500 by "days to cover." There are a number of ways to look at short data, for example the total number of shares short; but one metric that we find particularly useful is the "days to cover" metric because it considers both the total shares short and the average daily volume of shares typically traded. The number of shares short is then compared to the average daily volume, in order to calculate the total number of trading days it would take to close out all of the open short positions if every share traded represented a short position being closed.

Next pay date is 12 November
Published: Wednesday 22nd October 2014
The ACU Staff Enterprise Agreement 2013-2017 includes a provision to change the fortnightly pay cycle. As staff should be aware, the change to the pay cycle is being implemented in November 2014.
The specific arrangements for changing the pay date were announced by the Chief Operating Officer, Dr Stephen Weller in August 2014. The arrangements include measures to support staff to meet their financial obligations.
One of the support measures is the early payment of annual leave loading which, for those staff entitled to it, will be paid on Wednesday 5 November 2014 rather than in December as normally occurs.
In addition, if you lodged an application for support via cash out of leave or a loan - and it was approved - payment will be made on Wednesday 5 November 2014.
For more information, please refer to the Pay Date Change webpage, contact the extension 4222 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

PC AGE program prepares you for an IT career in computer networking as a Computer Support Specialist/Network Administrator. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, median salary for a Computer Support Specialist is $48,900 and for Network Administrator is $72,560. Please click on the following links for more information:
Computer Support Specialist
Network and Computer Systems Administrator
Computer Networking is #2 among the fastest-growing occupations between 2012 and 2022. Employment of network and computer systems administrators is expected to increase by 12 percent from 2012 to 2022, as fast as the average for all occupations. Computer networks are an integral part of business, and demand for these workers will increase as firms continue to invest in new technologies. The increasing adoption of mobile technologies means that more establishments will use the Internet to conduct business online. This growth translates into a need for systems administrators who can help organizations use technology to communicate with employees, clients, and consumers. Growth will also be driven by the increasing need for information security.
- Bureau of Labor Statistics, Aug 2015
Overall unemployment rate in the US is at 6.6%, yet the unemployment rate of Networking professionals is much lower at only 4.1% (considered full employment).
- Bureau of Labor Statistics 2014
"I was just promoted to a Network Administrator role at my job with a nice pay increase… I can't thank you guys enough."
"I just wanted to let you know that I graduated from PC AGE in 2013. I am now a Jr. Network Administrator and I'm only 21."
"Starting pay [at a new job] is 50K as a computer technician with 4 weeks paid vacation and many other perks. My schooling, certifications and job experience were apparently what set me apart from all other candidates. Just wanted to share the good news and extend thanks again to the schools program which has helped me to continue my success in the IT field. Thanks again for everything and enjoy!"

I'm sure you have heard this, and if not you probably will soon. While in some ways this is very true old SEO is dead however, in most ways this is not the case at all. I think a better description is SEO has changed. No longer can you just sprinkle links out there on the web and get rankings. No longer are you able to write thin content and still get to the top of the search results.
In today's SEO world there are multiple factors to getting to the top. From on page content all the way to links and social media. The SEO is Dead revolution really got a big start when Richard Hoy in 1997 claimed search was dead and everyone just use meta tags and forget about the sites. When in fact the face of SEO was just evolving as it always does.
Anytime one of the search engines makes an adjustment to the way they are ranking sites things change, it is just the nature of life. I have one client who uses another local SEO company to try and rank a similar site to one of them that I do for them. My site is in the top three for every keyword they are looking to target and number one for about half of them. The other local company was right there on the first page for a while then Google made an update and things changed quickly. The site we run claimed a few more number 1 rankings but did not drop any of the others.
When asked about why he was dropping in the rankings the excuse given was there must be a virus. I kind of chuckled when I heard that one as he has complete control of the website, he has the server, the FTP, everything. If there is a virus then he should be getting it off of the website. But, in reality it was just another Google update that penalized him for the quality of content that was put on the site and where he was getting his links.
I can see down the road this will be another person claiming SEO is dead. When in reality if you hire a good SEO company in the first place then SEO is never dead, it just changes the way we have to go about things to get the clients where they need to be.
Maybe someday it will actually die. But, until then make sure you do research and get referrals from the company you are thinking about spending a lot of money with.

If you're lazy to read my posts, I can read out my posts for you.
The new widget you see below (or on top right sidebar) will readout the contents of the post, so that you can turn on the speakers, listen to my posts while doing some other activity-say working out or ironing or cooking or just lying on the bed.
If you're unable to see anything below, flash player (or the lack of it) might be the culprit
Basically it is a text to speech conversion utility. The accent is decent enough and the utility works just fine, with over 95% accuracy. It skips Indian language texts and struggles a bit while pronouncing Indian names. (It calls me Shrinidhi 'Hand' not 'Hande') Also you won't know if there's an image/hyperlink. Otherwise it is just too good.
Saw this in Nikhil's blog and instantly realized that this was what I was hunting for all these days. This utility is from blogbard.com. (Founded by Manoj B) You can create one for your blog or just login with Google credential and it can readout any feed in your Google reader.
It doesn't allow saving the speech as mp3. If that was provided one could copy the file into ipod or other mp3 players and listen at their conveinence. Right now you'll need an iTunes account for that.
So now on, no more complaining "too busy to visit your blog". Don't strain your eyes anymore. Let your ears takeover.
Give your feedback: Is this useful to you? Or too busy to listen as well?
