At a glance
The 2010 FIFA World Cup showcased South Africa as an emerging cultural center for the continent. It's also become a major African destination for travelers due to its stable economy, relative safety, awesome beaches and resorts, and incredible natural wonders. Safaris through its many protected wildlife parks and preserves are a popular tourist activity. Visitors also flock to South Africa for mountain climbing and sunbathing on the gorgeous beaches. The urban landscapes of South Africa, from Johannesburg to the popular destination of Cape Town, can be as intriguing as the country's natural wonders. For those wanting to escape the hustle of the city or the heat of the inland preserves, the coastal beaches are a huge draw.
Why cyclists love it
A South African bike tour is a great way to explore the various appeals of this fascinating country. Many tourists are drawn to African vacations to see the "Big 5" game on safaris. South African cycle safaris are an appealing alternative to traditional van- or truck-based safaris because you get inside of the animals' habitat, rather than just passing through it. Bike tours through game preserves are also the most "green" way to view the amazing wildlife because noise and emissions won't disturb the animals or their ecosystem. It's also safe – while bicycle tourists don't have the protection of being in a vehicle, an armed guide rides along for reassurance.
Bicycle tours along the coastal roads of South Africa allow you the time to take in the breathtaking views while watching for whales and penguins. For wine enthusiasts enamored with Bordeaux, Chianti, and Napa Valley, cycling holidays in the estates of the South African winelands is a luxurious treat.
With opposite seasons to North America and Europe, it's a great destination for cyclists looking to escape winter weather at home. The climate is comfortable most of the year and has some of the longest days in the world – more hours of daylight for discovering this rich landscape!

"The Language of God" Book Club–Chapter 6
How should we interpret the Bible? What is the role of tradition? What is the role of science? Who gets to decide whether traditional interpretations need to change?
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
How should we interpret the Bible? What is the role of tradition? What is the role of science? Who gets to decide whether traditional interpretations need to change?
"Being confronted with evolution may have been the catalyst for asking the difficult questions, but the real problem for me was not evolution – it was biblical literalism."
Once we recognize that no one takes the text literally, and that we have often failed to account for the details in the text regarding the time of day, we can begin anew to try to understand the text as an ancient text rather than as a modern one. As such, we must begin with the idea that the text operates in the world of omens, not the world of physics and astronomy.
This series, by Old Testament scholar Richard S. Hess, was first published as an appendix to Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith (Downers Grove: IVP Academic; Nottingham: Apollos, 2011).
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
Many people use the words "dominion" and "subdue" as "unconditional permission to use the world as they please." I came to realize, like many, that such an interpretation is contradicted by the rest of the Bible.
Some criticized John for his theistic evolutionary position and even his appreciation for Darwin. But Stott saw no contradiction between his own commitment to the authority of Scripture and his openness to God's use of evolution in His creative process.
N.T. Wright explores the context and manner in which Scripture is authoritative. He does so by questioning the meaning of an authoritative book as well as the application of such authority. Wright encourages us to flee from the controlling "list" mentalities that belittle the richness of God's Word, and rather to understand it as a narrative inspired by God and recorded by ancient persons. Ultimately, God "organizes" his people through his Son Jesus and by the Holy Spirit, and not through extracted rules from the Bible.
Humanity faces tremendous moral dilemmas today, and science has relevance to most of them. As followers of Christ, we understand that our lives are entrusted to us for a short time, and that we will give an account for the things we do.
In 1967, biologists Roger Payne and Scott McVay discovered that humpback whales "sing" and published recordings of the whales' complex vocalizations, after which "whale song" quickly entered the popular consciousness and helped propel the "save the whales" environmental movement forward.
In today's video, Rev. Lincoln Harvey discusses our desire to "domesticate" the liveliness and abundance of God. Harvey notes that the Trinity highlights both the manyness and oneness of God, which can be hard to Christians to fully understand.
So, for Driscoll, the choice is a simple dichotomy: Scripture or science. Scripture is the highest court of authority in all matters, and the role of believing scientists is to affirm Scripture. To fail to do so is to "exchange the truths of Scripture for the truths of science".
This series by Michael Horton first appeared in the March/April 2010 issue of Modern Reformation. Horton begins by pointing out that the concept of inerrancy goes back to the ancient Church, but was most clearly developed by Princeton theologians A.A. Hodge and B.B. Warfield in their 1881 book, Inspiration. These men emphasized that the Holy Spirit worked through limited human authors in a centuries-long process to produce the Bible. Hodge and Warfield defined inerrancy not as the absence of technical errors but as the truthfulness in what the biblical writers were affirming.
During the late 19th century when critical views of Scripture came to prevail in American universities, Warfield was responsible for refurbishing the conviction that the Bible communicates revelation from God entirely without error. Yet while he defended biblical inerrancy, Warfield was also a cautious, discriminating, but entirely candid proponent of the possibility of evolution.
Genesis 2:2-17 places an interesting emphasis on work—not only does God work to bring about all creation, but also, man is called to the task of caring for God's world.
Let me briefly suggest three elements in the pine savanna ecology that Christians may take as prompts for meditation on life in Christ.

Dior Sunglasses
History Of The Brand
The French designer had a passion was for fashion and the arts. His parents wanted him to be a diplomat but Dior had other plans. He wanted to preserve the French fashion industry for economic and artistic reasons. During the World War II, Dior dressed for military wives and other government spouses.
Some would say that Dior revolutionized the way women dressed post-war. He started his haute couture empire, House of Dior in the mid 1940s which was responsible for creating beautiful flowing garments that enhanced a woman's figure rather than hide it. His style brought about sultry vixens such as Marilyn Monroe who flaunted their beautifully curvaceous bodies. This fashion reform became historically known as the 'new look'.
Sunglasses Collection
Dior's sunglasses collection reflects the brand's identity of elegance and glamour, with a twist on modern and classic shapes and designs. There are as many sunglasses for males as there is for females. This is great as it means there is more choice for men who are unsure of which frame they like the look of. As most of the brand's sunglasses are made from acetate, there is a great variety of colours to choose from.
Dior is well known for their bright and romantic colours as well as their traditional colours. The male's Black Tie collection consists of the sunglasses created with modernity in mind. The graphic squared frame shape and double bridge detail brings this collection are great characteristics for men's sunglasses. The rectangle frame shape still remains as the most popular frame shape choice.
Sunglasses Lenses
With all sunglasses at Fashion Eyewear you can choose your lens' tint depth as well as have the option of adding polarised lenses and sun coatings to your eyewear. Our tint depths are available from level 1 to 4. If you opt for a level 4 tint depth, you will not be able to use these sunglasses while driving as they are too dark.

Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" Turns 40
The beginning of March marks the 40th anniversary of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon.
The legendary album was released on March 1, 1973 and stayed on the Billboard charts for a staggering 821 weeks -- almost 16 years, and more than six years longer than any other album before or since. Recorded at the Abbey Road Studios, Dark Side took a full year -- between January 1972 and January 1973 -- to complete and is widely regarded as one of the most landscape-altering rock releases of all time.
Despite the enormous success and respect the album has garnered from listeners and other musicians, Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason tells BBC World that he and his band mates were not expecting a tidal wave of positive response to Dark Side of the Moon. "I think we absolutely thought this was our best work so far," he says, "but the fact that you do good work does not guarantee record sales or popularity. So, it was still slightly outside the mainstream of the music of the time."
Mason says that the relationship between music and listener has changed for the worse since the days of Dark Side of the Moon. "I think music has become horribly devalued, particularly recorded music," he tells the BBC. "The original concept of a CD was: you bought a CD, it was music for life and the way kids operate -- including my own kids -- they, sort of, download something, then chuck it away, and put something else on."

Remove the cover plate from the overflow (should just use a screw driver) and if there are screws behind that holding the overflow fitting against the tub, remove those as well. Then remove the spud from the drain in the bottom of the tub. Most unscrew with a spud wrench or put the handles of a pair of pliers in the drain and unscrew it. Then move the tub as required and if the waste and overflow still line up ,reinstall it.

"I'm so happy with these invitations. The animals on it are so cute. The paper is really thick. The quality is just great. The delivery was also very quick. I liked how I could write a little note on the back of the card."
"I came across this product while I was googling farm-themed invitations for my daughter's second birthday party. I instantly fell in love and knew I had to place an order. My order arrived so quickly and, I have to say, the invitations are so precious. I've received nothing but compliments, which is nice, but I'm most excited to have such a sweet and beautiful keepsake for my child's baby book. In this time of print-it-yourself, digital this, and electronic that, it is really nice to have a professionally created, tangible memory that will last for years."
"I fell in love with this design online, and I'm pleased to report it looks even better in person. The print quality ensures that all the hand-drawn aspects of the design show up in vivid detail. The paper is slightly textured, and I opted for rounded corners which adds a soft touch. Perfect for my daughter's petting zoo themed party."
"For my son's first birthday, I wanted the theme to be a simple farm style party. I wanted the party to have a subtle farmhouse flavor with vintage flair... These cards were the perfect accent to his party. The card stock is heavy, the color combination and subject matter exquisite.... Everyone who got one was raving about them! The only issue that I encountered was a serious lag in delivery time with these because they must be "reviewed by a designer.""
"I knew I wanted to do a farm party for my son's second birthday, but I desperately wanted something a little more unique than traditional primary colors and cartoon farm animals. I found it at Tiny Prints. This invitation is absolutely adorable. The card stock and print quality are exceptional, but it always is with Tiny Prints. The design is very unique and playful. The card inspired the color scheme for the rest of the party - aqua and lime - which is very chic right now. We couldn't be more thrilled with the final product. Can't wait to send these out in our friends and family!"

Warne needs Royals top order to fire
It might be a bit premature to call Tuesdays day-night match between the Delhi Daredevils and the Rajasthan Royals at SuperSport Park in Pretoria a must-win for the defending champions.
Yet, with one win and one rain-enforced tie from four matches Shane Warne, the captain, coach and player of the Rajasthan Royals will be desperate for his team to impose themselves on the tournament.
Currently second-last in the points-table with just three points, just one more than the last-placed Bangalore Royal Challengers, who, ironically, beat them in their first match of Season 2009 in South Africa, the Rajasthan Royals will be looking for their misfiring top order to come good against the Delhi Daredevils.
In Sundays 21-run loss to the Kings XI Punjab, the Rajasthan Royals first five batsmen contributed just 26 runs in the failed attempt to chase down a target of 140.
Our bowling and fielding were very good, said Warne. Perhaps Punjab got 10-15 runs more than they should have. As we were chasing 140, we should have got a good start and been comfortable in doing that, but unfortunately our top order failed.
They bowled well but we just didnt get our combination right as yet. Guys at the top are not doing the job, we have to look at that, the bowlers and fielders are doing their job.
The Delhi Daredevils, who have won all three of their games thus far, have a solid batting line-up led by captain Virender Sehwag, Indias Gautam Gambhir and backed up by South Africas AB de Villiers and Sri Lankan Tillakaratne Dilshan.
If one has failed in the tournament thus far, then another has managed to get a big score. De Villiers did so with an unbeaten century against the Chennai Super Kings on Friday, followed by Dilshans 67 not out against the Royal Challengers Bangalore on Sunday.
Throw in Daniel Vettoris accuracy and guile with the ball he has six wickets from the three games and the Rajasthan Royals will have a tough job in Centurion on Tuesday.

The Great Divide
Vintners in western Washington aren't letting faraway vineyards stop them from crafting fabulous wines
Bruce Schoenfeld
From the Print Edition:
Steve Wynn, Jan/Feb 03
A fire crackles in a hearth at DeLille Cellars, in Woodinville, Washington, spreading warmth against a spring chill. A table spread with a gourmet lunch awaits a writer and two photographers. We sip the 1998 Chaleur Estate, a Bordeaux blend with the roundness and accessibility of a St. Julien and the punch of a Pauillac that has found a place on exalted restaurant wine lists like New York's Jean-Georges and Gramercy Tavern. In the barrel room below, the magnificent 2000 and 2001 vintages are aging in French oak.
It's a scene reminiscent of the Medoc, from the wine to the welcome, except for one nagging difference. When I wander to the window to see the Washington sun peering through the cloud cover, I look out at a vast expanse of sheep meadow, punctuated by the occasional barn of a dairy farm. There's not a vineyard in sight.
This corridor of western Washington wineries is unlike any in the world. From Quilceda Creek in Snohomish to the north, through Seattle, to Andrake in Olympia an hour south, Washington's wineries are making some of the best Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet blends anywhere in the country, and that includes Napa Valley. They're dabbling in world-class Syrah and Sangiovese, reinventing Merlot with lush Washington fruit, and experimenting with edgier Mediterranean varieties like Nebbiolo and Tempranillo. The wineries are proliferating like wildflowers; this small town of Woodinville alone has 13 of them. Yet the nearest grapevine is hundreds of miles away.
The fruit comes from eastern Washington, spilling into the northern reaches of Oregon, on land that was once used to grow apples and cherries and even wheat. In wine regions like Napa and Bordeaux, almost all of the highest-end wine is made from estate vineyards, meaning that the grapevines are owned by the winery. Not in Washington, where many of the best vineyards are run by independent operators who sell fruit to a range of producers.
Some of these vineyards, with colorful names like Champoux, Red Willow, Ciel du Cheval and Sagemoor, are more renowned than the wineries. "You can buy seven or eight or nine bottles of wine, all with Champoux fruit," says Bob Andrake, of Andrake Cellars. "It gives us an opportunity to compete against ourselves and to showcase our individual styles."
As often as several times a week, winemakers make the four-hour-plus trek over the Cascade Mountains from the Seattle area to the Columbia Valley, Pasco and the Walla Walla Valley beyond to check on the grapes. When the harvest arrives, the wineries send the fruit back over the mountain in refrigerated trucks.
The result, somehow, is remarkable wine -- from the $11 Chateau Ste. Michelle varietals to Alex Golitzin's Quilceda Creek Cabernets, available for about $100 at auction and as serious a bottle as America produces -- from equally remarkable settings. A walk around DeLille's grounds shows how tastefully a winery can be landscaped when you don't need room for vines. There's a shaded fish pond bordered by a rock outcropping, and a gazebo where winemaker Chris Upchurch was married in June 2001. Throughout the summer, a series of wine dinners are held on tables set in the soft grass between the soaring trees.
That's one option. On the other end, Ben Smith makes small batches of his single-vineyard Cadence wines hard by the freeway in downtown Seattle, near Safeco Field. Why not? Once the grapes come in, they don't know where they are.
"It adds to the logistics, that's all," says the fresh-faced Smith, 40, who worked as an engineer for Boeing for 14 years before leaving to make wine. Smith buys grapes from several vineyard sources, including Tapteil and Ciel du Cheval on Red Mountain. "If we were on the east side of the state, we'd be driving every weekend over the mountains in a Ford Explorer with 50 cases, trying to sell them all," he says. "You drive either way."
Up in Snohomish, a short drive north of Seattle, Alex Golitzin doesn't even bother with an external facility. He makes Quilceda Creek in an annex of his home. A chemical engineer, he moved to the state from California in 1967. "Seattle at that time was a gastronomical wasteland," he says, and what wine there was tasted worse than the food.

Captain Pabst started his career as a ship hand when he was a young boy. He was so taken and enthusiastic about his experience that the ship's crew made him an apprentice to be a ship captain which stared his business career. Of course Captain Pabst became a beer magnate around the turn of the century and at the height of his fortune he made this beautiful mansion for his retirement home.
The mansion is made to look like his idea of a hunting lodge. The building was painstakingly restored after many years spent as a house for nuns after the archdiocese bought the building in the 1920s. I was struck by how similar the house was to Mark Twain's house in Hartford Connecticut. The best room in the house is the study which is absolutely gorgeous with inlaid wood cabinets and Victorian architectural detail.
The tour lasts for about an hour and I recommend it for people that enjoy history. Here is the website for the Mansion http://www.pabstmansion.com

On the release of 24,000 emails from Sarah Palin's time as Alaska's Governor.
The New York Times and the Washington Post both are begging readers to help them sift through 24,000 emails of Sarah Palin's, from her time as Governor of Alaska... I don't recall this happening when we had that email release from the Hadley Climate Center, University of East Anglia... that foretold the hoax that is man-made global warming. There was an effort to bury those emails. But now, the New York Times and Washington Post want their readers to help them sift through these 24,000 emails. This is an obsession. It is an obsession. And I tell you, this is all going to end up backfiring on these people. It's just too much. You watch.

I applied online and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at Microsoft.
Interview Details the culture is all indian in microsoft,and it lacks creativity which is a drawback i got hired on christmas and excited and the interview went well...When I was a corporate executive in the area of strategic planning, I quickly learned a very important lesson – the best way to ensure strategy implementation is to hire the right people into the company.
I suppose that's why I'm always surprised at the casual and often lackadaisical attitude many managers take when it comes to hiring. Look around and what you'll notice is at the heart of most great companies is an incredibly strong emphasis on the hiring process.
Interview Question – process "as the most important strategic planning your company needs." Why? Because every new employee will either improve the organization or lower it – and managers should be seeking and hiring employees who will enable the company to grow and to become more profitable.
McKeown provides four tips for hiring great people: 1) Forget trying to ask magic bullet questions, 2) Ensure you have clearly defined what it will take to be successful in the position, 3) Test candidates, and 4) Include others in the hiring process. Answer Question

I applied through other source and the process took a day - interviewed at Microsoft in May 2013.
Interview Details Face-to-face interview. 3 interviews (2 technical)
Interview Question – Consider a stack of N number of cards which are piled up and in facing down. Each card has a unique number from the range 1 to N. The card is stacked in such a way that it exhibits the following behavior:
Take the first card and put it under the stack without revealing. Now the next card on the top will have the number 1 on it. Next take 2 cards one after the other and put is under the stack without revealing. Yes you guessed it right - the next card on the top will reveal a value of 2. This goes on.
Eg. for such a series : 9,1,8,5,2,4,7,6,3,10 [for N=10]

By Marla
from Valencia, CA
I can't seem to order this online and see a very little font stating it is to be discontined. It is the only thing that has helped my teenage son's ache. WHY WHY WHY would you discontinue this!!!! This is why I leave companies like yours. Just when I am counting on a product, you discontinue it.

Another Favorite DHC Product GONE!!!
By True Blue
from Michigan
Why Discontinue Tried & True Products???I will start by saying that I have been a LOYAL DHC customer for many, many years (using nothing but DHC for my skincare needs...even purchasing them for my 3 children and mother...and encouraging countless others to give your brand a try). I have VERY SENSITIVE skin, that is prone to breakouts and reacts to environmental changes, as well as, HARSH CHEMICALS.I am so saddened by the decision of DHC to discontinue so many of their products that were basic staples from their line for years...free of added chemicals, and fragrances. So far they have decided to exclude these staples of mine:Q10 Facial Film SoapPurifying Charcoal Shower GelImperial Green Tea Shower GelHydrating Ceramide Body CreamWhy discontinue these products that receive favorable reviews time and again...only to push newer lines that are LOADED with fragrance and irritants and are nothing better than one can find at their local department store?I could count on you DHC to provide something good for my skin, different from the usual department store junk sold in the US...sadly, not anymore...Almost every sample I now receive from you, causes immediate reaction to my skin, due to the overload of ingredients/fragrance now added to your products.I will continue to purchase the few items that you still carry that are of quality/simplistic ingredients (such as Deep Cleansing Oil, Mild Soap, Mild Lotion, Mineral Mask)...but I have begun my search for a new holistic/natural skincare line...I loved that your line didn't come out with new products constantly and would continue to sell your basic tried and true line...sadly, your company has changed that philosophy.
Great product..why is it being discontd?
By Loisirene
from Independence, OH
This is the one product that I can count on to neutralize odors. When you wrestling others with sweaty bodies, their perspiration sticks on you. I discovered that this product gets rid of those smells much more effectively than anything else I have used. The charcoal works quite nicely & smells fresh.Add my request to others here to keep this product or at least have a replacement of same consistency with charcoal. Guess I better stock up.
By Onlyfr33b33
from Los Angeles
I can't believe this is being discontinued! I bought it on sale, but now that I've used it, I'd totally pay the full price for it. The smell is so comfortable, and my back and neck cleared up so fast after using this. Now I'm tempted to buy a few more in case it never comes back.
By Nancy R.
from Las Vegas, NV
See all my reviews
Well I don't think things can get any worse! First I find out the CoQ Film Soap is being discontinued and now the Charcoal Shower Gel. These are my 2 favorite products from DHC. I do not know of other companies carrying a similar product, these are very unique. I ONLY use this shower gel, even when I travel. All my guests who use this comment on how much they love it and it smells so good. A little goes a long ways. Even men love this gel because it's not fruity or flowery smelling like most shower gels. DHC may end up losing this loyal customer if they discontinue these products. I'm so very disappointed.
LOVE THIS! Don't GO!

So sad this is being discontinued! I only hope DHC will bring this back by popular demand.

This is one of my favorite products. Great on clearing up acne! Great when my legs got bit up in my garden, stopped the itching! I cannot believe you're stopping sales on it. This has been the third product that you've stopped that I used alot of.......needless to say, I am truely dissappointed. First it was the acerola body gel, then it was the COQ10 body gel. Please work on bringing them back....please!!!!!!!
Please keep this product!

When I have problem body odor, this is the most effective cleanser I have ever used. It has been so helpful, and I like it generally for its purifying action. Please reconsider discontinuing it.

I am looking for a cooling solution for Xeon E5520 processors. I was originally wanting to get my hands on Akasa CC055 heatsinks, but I can't find any store selling them in my country, so I am back to the standard Intel solutions, namely STS100A and STS100C. The E5520 has a 80W TDP, so the STS100A should be enough. However, I am wondering if there could be an interest for me to still go for the more expensive STS100C in the hope that it will make my system quiter? It seems to include copper when the STS100A is made of aluminium only, so I would hope that the thermal dissipation is better and this lets the fan spin slower. However, it could also be that the STS100C's fan spins faster by default to ensure proper thermal dissipation for 135W TDP processors. Does anyone know?
More generally, I was unable to find any technical data about either the STS100A or STS100C. I would be interested in data such as weight, fan dimension, fan speed and noise level, if anyone can provide these. Thanks!
Both, the Intel® Thermal Solution STS100C and Intel® Thermal Solution STS100A, are for Intel® Xeon® processors in server/workstation systems featuring 2 LGA1366 sockets. Thus, any of these could work with the Intel® Xeon® Processor E5520, fine. You need to check on the type of chassis as while the STS100C is a passive/active combination heat sink, with removable fan, the STS100A is active heat sink, with fixed fan; see the following URL:
As for "weight, fan dimension, fan speed and noise level", etc., I'd recommend contacting any of the Thermal Solutions Suppliers found here:
Suppliers don't provide technical data about products beyond what the vendors document. This isn't their job. When I asked for detailed information, they replied: "Ask Intel"
So I ended up buying a STS100C, and wrote a full review on it, so that the technical data is finally available to the public. This review is available on my home site at:
Hopefully the information provided there will be useful to others.
See if section 8 of Intel® Xeon® Processor 5500 Series Datasheet Volume 1 is helpful.
This was a valuable pointer and a good read, thank you. However, it still misses some technical data about the STS100 products, for example the actual weight, height and current draw (instead of the maximum), the noise level, the fan speed, etc.

Here's that moment when I admit that I was simply blind to an unbelievable producer for no particular reason for an unreasonable amount of time. Kastra is a New Jersey product and partner in crime of Aylen (they did a jaw-dropping remix of Wolfgang Gartner's Redline that I still have on blast occasionally) and this time he's got two originals full of the signature fat-bassed electro sound I've come to associate with him. Downloads are on the house so enjoy!

Making Better Use of Your Pension
A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste
Finding a Buyer for an Old Car
Started Going Back to School
My Aunt Means Everything to Me
My aunt raised me after my mother died when I was just a young girl. She has done everything possible so I can still feel a connection to my mother, and I will love her forever for that. One of the things that she did was keep my mother's collection of vintage jewellery to give to me once I was old enough to appreciate the pieces. Not only did I fall in love with them, but I also wanted to add to the collection so I could pass it down to my own daughters one day.
My aunt and I loved to find new outlets for my jewellery collection, and that is why I was so excited when I found a new company online. They have been in business for a while, but they were new to me. They carry all kinds of vintage pieces, ranging from necklaces and bracelets to rings and earrings. I wasn't making a lot of money when I first discovered them, which is another reason why I really liked their pieces. Not only were the pieces really gorgeous, but they are all very affordable too. I have seen some pieces elsewhere that cost more than what a house payment would be, so it was great finding a company that sells affordable vintage pieces.
When my aunt's birthday was approaching last year, I wanted to get her a necklace for my gift. I knew the exact one I wanted to give. It is a vintage brooch pearl necklace that has a diamond design to it. It is absolutely gorgeous, and I knew she would love it because it was so unique. She has given so much to me, and I wanted to return the favor. She was speechless when I gave it to her, and she knew just how much she has meant to me because of this precious gift.Resume Digesting
Why is B Vitamins and magnesium not to be taken if planning a pregnancy?
- I have recently been recommended B Vitamins by my nutritionist but i am planning a pregnancy and the product info suggests that it is NOT to be used if planning a pregnancy. Check out the product on http://shop.biocare.co.uk/templates/product.aspx?ProductGuid=17330
Answer by BadMonkey
That isn't true. B vitamins are extremely good for females - my GP has told me to stay on mine alongside my prenatal vitamins and extra folic acid throughout my pregnancy, and was pleased that I was taking them before I conceived. They help your body to absorb iron more efficiently and help with energy levels as well as providing folic acid as part of any b-complex.
- I been considering to obtain my class B license since I'm passionate for driving. However, I have no idea how much does it cost to go attend a class b school in california? Currently located in SF.
Answer by Happy Gramps
Actually, the tests can be taken at the DMV - the "problem" is finding a truck to take the BTW test in..............you would need to contact several schools to see what their rates are. Also, if you are going to take a course, you may as well go for the Class A license - more opportunity of employment than with just the Class B
- Do the B-12 vitamins still get extracted from animal products or are they synthetically made?
Also, do vegans/vegetarians NEED to take algae pills for EPA and DHA or is it not a big concern? I know a lot of meat eaters don't even get enough either because a lot don't eat fish.
Answer by exsft
They are mostly synthesized from GMO bacteria. "Because of the intricacy of synthesizing B12 and the length of time necessary, biotechnology is mostly used in the production of the vitamin, reports the GMO-Compass.org website. In fact, some bacteria are "genetically modified" for B12 synthesis" "Vitamins E (tocopherols) and C are the most common vitamins raising GMO concerns, since E is derived from soy and C from corn. But Baker believes that both B2 and B12 (cyanocobalamin) are now primarily derived from GM microorganisms. Meanwhile, biotechnology companies have received patents in recent years to produce other vitamins, such as A (betacarotene) and C, from GM microorganisms." as for supposedly plant sources of b12, here some info from the VEgan Resource Group: "Tempeh, miso, sea vegetables, and other plant foods are sometimes reported to contain vitamin B12. These products, however, are not reliable sources of the vitamin. The standard method for measuring vitamin B12 in foods measures both active and inactive forms of vitamin B12. The inactive form (also called analogues) actually interferes with normal vitamin B12 absorption and metabolism (7). When only active vitamin B12 is measured, plant foods including fermented soyfoods and sea vegetables do not contain significant amounts of active vitamin B12 (8). Very small amounts of vitamin B12 have been found in plants grown in soil treated with manure (9). It is not clear whether this vitamin B12 is the active form or the inactive analogue. In any case, the amounts are so small that more than 23 cups of organically grown spinach would have to be eaten every day in order to meet the adult RDA for vitamin "
More Options to Save Money
Thanks to the vast multitude of Internet connected devices, finding information is easier than it ever has before. With just a few clicks, swipes, or voice commands, you can nearly find the answer to any question you have ever wondered. Recently, I had decided that I should do something about the state of my finances; they were in a terrible place and I wasn't saving nearly as much as I should have been at my age. I decided that starting with my utilities would be best; if you're interested in what I found, just click here for more information regarding the utility companies that are call the Lone Star state their home. When I first moved to Texas, I admittedly researched very little into what savings I may have been able to qualify for from other utility companies and instead simply opted to sign up with the first one that caught my attention.
I realize my mistake now. You might be surprised by the differences in prices these companies might have for a resident, especially so if you're a new customer. Utility companies love nothing more than snatching a potential new customer right from under the nose of the competition, tempting them with some killer deals that can save you hundreds of dollars. When I switched over to Green Mountain Energy from Direct Energy, I saw nearly twenty dollars a month in savings - for me, right now in my life, that is worth the hassle of having to switch accounts to a new business. I highly recommend this site to anyone who is interested in trying to save a little bit of money themselves or merely for those who might be unhappy with the current quality of service that they are receiving from their present company. We are lucky to have to so many options here in Texas.Resume Digesting
Local ADT Home Security Company
I would like to get a home security system in the near future, because there was a break in near my house recently, and I found it to be quite unnerving. Previously, I thought that I lived in a very safe location, but that perception has changed a lot over the past week, ever since that break in. Right now, I am trying to find a business that provides adt home security in your area, so that I can look into getting a security system set up in my house at some point within the next couple of weeks.
I would actually like to get the security system as soon as possible, and I would not mind if the security company sent someone over to my house in the morning tomorrow in order to start installing the security system. I do not like the thought of my family being at home without a security system, because you never know when someone could try to break into your house. I do not like to live with that sort of uncertainty, and it definitely makes me nervous to not have a security system. In fact, it has been a bit harder to sleep at night ever since that break in; I think that once I have an ADT security system installed at my house, I will be able to sleep a little bit easier at night.
I want to learn more about the different options that come with installing a security system. I would like a security system that includes a lot of features to help to keep my house safe. I just do not know what sort of security measures are typical in a system by ADT, so that is something that I am going to try to look into at this point.Resume Digesting
Try Not to Use an Ad Blocker
When looking for some cheap internet in my area, I happened upon this site, internetproviders.us/internet-providers/. They were a very fast and easy to use site, and on top of that they had some great customer service when I ran into a problem, I asked them a few questions and they responded within fifteen minutes answering all of my concerns. I have always recommended companies like this, but this one goes so much further than that, they are already offering a service that all of america can benefit from. But on top of that, it is an absolutely free service. You do not pay a penny to use their site. Sure there are a few ads on the page, but what page does not have ads on it these days. You can just use ad blocker or something else to get rid of those anyways. I know a lot of people do use ad blocker and I do not agree with that, you are taking away the only money that these not for profit sites make. They could charge you to use that site if they want, but they choose to make it free and just ask that you allow three or less in some cases ads on the page. How hard is it to just live with that, I mean really. If everyone blocked ads, there is no way that site would survive. You should do your part and help support these sites that offer these amazing services to everyone for free. I know I saved a lot of money working with these guys and I am absolutely grateful for the fact that they have allowed me to use such a great site for free. If alls they ask is that I do not use ad blocker, then absolutely I will not use ad blocker.Resume Digesting

Looking for Internet Service Deals
Next month, I will be moving to a different state. I'm moving because of a job opportunity that was offered to me by the company I work at. They want me to go to one of their new branches and help run the place as a manager. I'm really excited for this, because they promoted me and put me in charge. I'll have a new home in the state and I'll need Internet service. I've been looking at http://www.cheapdslinternetserviceproviders.com/cheap-internet/ for some information that will help be get a good, affordable Internet service provider.
For the past four years, I've had the Internet through a major service provider. While they have given me fantastic upload and download speeds with no data cap on my bandwidth, their prices aren't exactly the most competitive. I want to spend less money on Internet service this time. I'm hoping that I can get the same level of speed for a lower price, without a data cap. It's crucial that I don't have a data cap, as I download and upload a lot of files, and I don't want to be cut off from using the Internet, or have to pay an extra fee for going over my monthly data limit.
I think I'll be able to get cheaper Internet service than before. In the state where I'm moving to, there are a lot more service providers, meaning that their prices are all lower so that they can compete with each other for more customers. I've already seen a few providers that don't have a data cap on their service. All I have to do is compare their prices and I'll be able to narrow down my choices to just one provider. I think I'll use the money I save on the Internet for something else, like a new suit for work.Resume Digesting

We Needed a Better Internet Provider
Even though I had Internet at my home for years, I rarely used it. I had it mainly for my children, because they needed to be able to access various things for their schoolwork. Because we live in such a rural area, our only option at the time was getting it through a dial up company. Not that long ago, my sister told me that she had seen an advertisement for http://satelliteinternetspecials.com/hughes-net/north-carolina/. I decided to look into it because I had the option of bringing some of my work home with me if I wanted to do that.
I had always refused the offer in the past because of my Internet connection. While there was never a problem with getting connected to dial up, the connection speeds were a nightmare. I didn't want to have to fight with them and get frustrated, so I just kept doing my work at the office. Once I started looking into HughesNet, I saw that I would be able to have a significant increase in speed. Not only that, but I could choose which speed I want since they have four different plans with different speed options.
Since the kids are older now, they would often get frustrated because the dial up connection was not video friendly. Their videos spent more time buffering than playing, so I knew that we would need to get the highest speed plan. Getting this has been such a difference to all of us. I am able to bring my work home now, and sometimes I only go into the office twice a week. The kids are actually getting better grades because they spend more time doing research now too. It's just been a huge blessing for all three of us, and I could not be happier with the results.Resume Digesting

Final Capitol tribute to late Hawaii Sen. Inouye
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Daniel Inouye, the second-longest serving senator in U.S. history, was remembered Thursday as a man who gallantly defended his country on the battlefield and gracefully sought to better it during the 50-plus years he represented Hawaii.
Colleagues and aides lined the Capitol rotunda five deep to say farewell. The rare ceremony demonstrated the respect and good will he generated over the years. Only 31 people have lain in the Capitol rotunda; the last was former President Gerald R. Ford nearly six years ago. The last senator who died in office and was accorded the honor was Democrat Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota, in 1978.

Social Inclusion of Migrants: Access to Education and Health Services
Date: 22 August 2012
Venue: Conference room 6 (NLB), United Nations Headquarters,
New York
Social inclusion in the face of greater mobility is one of the fundamental objectives of migration management. Access to education and health services as well as other basic rights facilitates social inclusion and greatly benefits the lives of all members of society, migrants and local communities alike. Yet, in the wake of the global economic crisis, discrimination and xenophobia against migrants have increased, endangering their enjoyment of human rights and access to basic services, including health and education.
Migrant health and education is a key determinant of empowerment and protection of migrants, particularly women and children. Access to health for migrants is possible in a number of ways: as part of the universal health care in countries of destination, through bilateral or multilateral cooperation between countries, and via special programs for migrants in vulnerable situations.
Programs and policies that fail to address the specific needs and vulnerabilities of migrants inhibit social integration. Different factors such as age, gender, language or culture can create barriers for such groups. This may be exacerbated with migrants and can intervene in their effective participation in society and giving rise to potential vulnerabilities.
This half-day seminar considered the social inclusion of migrants through access to health and education services. It discussed States' obligation to protect the basic rights of migrants, as well as its residents and citizens, and the challenges they face in providing access to basic services, as well as the effects of the difficulties migrants encounter in obtaining them. The particular challenges of vulnerable groups was also discussed.
