"Salamanca" Salamanca by Redang
Salamanca Travel Guide: 604 reviews and 1,521 photos
This very beautiful city is known as the city of thought and knowledge, but here you will also find art. The old town has the UNESCO World Heritage designation.
Places such as Plaza Mayor (Main square), dos Catedrales, Vieja y Nueva (two Cathedrals, Old and New), Casa de las Conchas (House of the Shells) and the Universidad (University) are just a few musts you should not miss if you visit Salamanca.
I arrived in Salamanca the morning after a big snow and I found the city as you can see in this second pic; the first one was taken one day later.

Very nice intro picture! I'm almost ready with a similar mirrored picture. *N*
What an interesting city! Gorgeous churches in particular. Snow is not something Germans associate with Spain :-)
Salamanca looks like a beautiful place. I've always wanted to discover more of Spain.
One of the most beautiful squares in Spain? I partially agree! I think it is one of the most beautiful squares ever made! Marvelous under the sunlight, under the moonlight and under the pouring rain too!*N*
there is really a lot of interesting achitecture in Salamanca !
Parece que la pregunta del millon es "are you going to Krakow?" Pues te la hago yo tambi�n, juas juas juas :-))) Bonita foto de Salamanca en tu HP la tengo que poner en mi wishlist ;-) Thanks for sharing :-)
Estuve en Zalamanca hace muchos a�os pero viendo tus fotograf�as dan ganas de recorrerla nuevamente.
Nice Salamanca page
Salamanca is another place I could go to if I wanted to do a second Spanish immersion... I'll definitely keep it in mind, but I'll make sure to go once winter is over, got enough snow here!
Excellent page about such an interesting place which I missed to visit during my short trip to Spain! Now I know how "very cold winter in Salamanca" looks like! It's very interesting for Russians having very warm winters last time.

These are very serious charges, assault malicious wounding, he is facing serious time, how is it that is own lawyer knows who the witness against him is and can't tell him, this is something I have never heard of before. Please help me with this situation.
Criminal Defense Attorney
No the accused has a right to know and confront his accuser.
Personal Injury Lawyer
A defendant has the right to know the identity of those individuals who accuse him of a crime. it is called the "Confrontation Clause" in the constitution. His lawyer, if he knows, should tell your son who is likely to testify against him. Sometimes we don't know all of the witnesses until very close to the date and time of the trial, however.
Criminal Defense Attorney
What you ask sounds so odd that I am compelled to have you clarify-- Are you saying that (1) your son's own defense lawyer knows the names of witnesses against your son (the defendant), AND (2) your son's own defense lawyer is refusing to disclose to your son (the defendant, his/her client) the names of these witnesses?!?!
If that in fact is your question, that situation is very problematic. How can your son's defense lawyer properly prepare your son's defense, including whether your son should testify, and the cross-xamination of these witnesses, UNLESS your son's defense lawyer says to your son something like "Hey, the prosecutor may call Joe Smith to the stand against you- what do know about him?"
There's an easy solution though-- any witness subpoenae are likely in the court file, which you should be able to view.
Criminal Defense Attorney
The three gentlemen before me have effectively answered the question. I write to add that if the attorney is in fact stating to your son that he knows who a witness is but will not say who it is, the attorney may have discovered what is called a "conflict of interest." Sometimes these arise when an attorney has represented someone who wants to or has to testify against the attorney's client. Since the attorney has the responsibility to protect both the defendant and the witness, he should get out of the case as soon as possible, revealing only what information is necessary to get out of the case. Your son should explore with his attorney whether or not this is what is happening.
Criminal Defense Attorney
Absolutely not. Your son's attorney has an ethical - and constitutional - obligation to share all information learned through the course of representing him. There may be a misunderstanding with the attorney, who might know of the existence of a witness, but because of the circumstances of the prosecution (e.g, confidential informant), the attorney has not been provided with that person's identity. Either way, your son should clarify what information his attorney knows so that he can prepare for trial.

I've made this a few times. I've gotten rave reviews at parties and plan on making it again for our holiday party this year. I did doctor it with a little pomegranite syrup. It gave it that tartness it was missing.
I love eggplant, but this was yukky, eew!
I learnt to make a similar dip in Costa Rica; excluding garam masala. The spices include a little chili pepper, garlic and nutmeg. Always a hit at parties, vegetarians love it and there are no dairy products so it's safe for a picnic buffet. Use a molcajete for genuine flavour.
Very good. Interesting that I make a dip very similar to this excluding the garam masala. I learnt to make it in Costa Rica and it's always a hit at parties.
Delicious dip. I used pre-made pita chips.
well, that last review is interesting!? anyway, I'm going to try this, it looks pretty tasty and I'm all "power to the eggplant!" any day!

Haj applicants from Gujarat outnumber rest of India

Amist the hue and cry over the status of Muslims under the Narendra Modi government in Gujarat, the community has outnumbered other states in applying for the Haj pilgrimage this year. With the average expense for an adult's Haj pilgrimage coming to around Rs 2 lakh, it reflects the prosperity of Gujarat Muslims.
After filling the 1.19 lakh available seats, the Haj Committee of India (HCOI) was left with 1.79 lakh excess applications. The highest 36,171 excess applications are from Muslims hailing from Gujarat. On the other hand, Muslims from Nitish Kumar's Bihar and Mamata Banerjee's Bengal could not even exhaust the seats allotted to them for Haj pilgrimage. The surplus seats were transferred to other states, including Gujarat.
Haj is one of the five pillars of Islam. It is mandatory for every physically and financially able Muslim to perform Haj pilgrimage once in his or her lifetime. In India, the devotees go on Haj pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia through their respective State Haj Committees (SHC), which act on the directions of the Haj Committee of India located in Mumbai.
For the 2013 Haj, the HCOI has been allotted 1.19 lakh seats by the Ministry of External Affairs. These seats are distributed to the SHCs in proportion to the Muslim population according to the 2001 census. Uttar Pradesh got a maximum quota of 32,214 seats. For this, 35,082 applications were received, which meant an excess of 2,868 applications.
Gujarat, on the other hand, had a quota of only 4,813 seats. It was left with a whopping 36,171 excess applications, the maximum in any state. It is much more than the figures from states with a high proportion of Muslims, like West Bengal, which got second highest quota of 17,430 seats but received only 10,111 applications. In Bihar, which got 11,817 seats, the third highest in the country, only 6,533 applications were received. In Assam, only 2,765 applications were received against 7,245 seats.

- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: XL
Fits well, kept me dry. I love the hood, it has a stiff brim when you need the extra protection from the rain, which can be folded back when you don't need it. I have had a mountain hardware rain jacket and the hood was meant for covering a person wearing a helmet, much too large. It is very light weight and looks like a very expensive jacket.
Seattle Rain
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: XL
So I bought this for my dad who lives in Seattle. He doesn't do any hardcore hiking, but spends a lot of time out walking the dogs and with the Seattle fall coming this seems like it will be perfect. I have one myself and I love the light weight of the jacket. It folds up pretty small so pretty much anytime there is even a chance of rain I have this in my bag. Definitely not a jacket that will keep you super warm, but it will keep you dry.
Good Rain Jacket
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: XL
I am not a serious hiker or backpacker, and am a big guy @ 6'2" with a bit of a spare tire (ladies...call me? I have a great personality) and fit great in a XL. I just wanted a nice rain jacket to replace a Mountain Hardware that was too big for me (XXL), and I hated the hood on the Mountain Hardware jacket too.
I have only used it a few times, but so far so good. I like the hood a lot more, because the brim doesn't stick out too far, stays formed, and can be flipped back when you don't need the protection. I feel like the fabric of the jacket won't be to frail. Zippers appear to be high quality and work well. Overall I really don't have anything bad to say about it.
Always in my backpack
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: L
I really like this jacket. I've had it for about three years now and I always have it with me. It packs into it's own pocket and weighs next to nothing, so shoving it in my pack has become muscle memory at this point.
- Small pack size and light weight so it can go with you anywhere
- Durable enough that it's survived some pretty rough hikes over the last three years
- Packs into it's own pocket which is really neat
- Fits well
- Not as breathable as I would like. Spent an hour in a cave and was soaked with sweat.
Lightweight and Dry
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I was looking for a minimal 3 season rain jacket for backpacking and stumbled upon this. So far I love it. I have been wearing it all winter and I have yet to get remotely damp. I live in Oregon and we all know it rains a lot here. I've taken it on a few backpacking trips and had several hours of rain fall. It is amazing how light this jacket is and how the water beads off of it instead of soaking that first layer of membrane like most jackets. The zipper has a very nice weather seal to it and does not restrict the function. The hood sides are attached to the jacket collar which is a big thing for me, I cant stand detachable hoods or partial detached hoods. All in all I would buy this jacket over and over again. Also the fabric does not snag very easily. I've been through quite a bit of brush with it while gritting my teeth hoping not to tear it. After looking it over very closely, no signs os scratches or tears in the fabric, impressive.

This is great as a windshirt and light drizzle. I have treated with Nikwax but........in a thunderstorm it is not a raincoat.
Excellent Ultra Light Option
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Given the low carry-weight of this rain jacket - it's hard to beat if you're wanting to minimize your load. It packs down well and leaves a minimal footprint in your pack. You would think that given the thinness of the material it wouldn't work as well as some other comparable jackets - but, it does the trick very well.
I field-tested in the Smokies and got doused on the AT. The jacket performed well and kept me dry as any other jacket I've owned. The values of this jacket are the super-low weight and high quality workmanship.
The only suggestion for the manufacturer is with the ventilation. It definitely could be better. You have to open up the pockets to get any fresh air. Internal wetness built up from body heat gets trapped. Perhaps future designs might include a few armpit holes or slightly longer pocket zippers (pit zips would add weight).
Gets the Job Done
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Great fitting rain-jacket for those who are of athletic build. Have worn it about ~5 times so far in the rain and it's essentially an umbrella for your body. The jacket is very light so do no purchase it if you're looking for something other than a rain jacket.
Essential Piece of Gear
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I take this jacket on everyone MTB and trail running outing. Balls up to the size of small grape fruit and fits nicely into the bottom of a small backpack. I've even used it for an extended summer hiking in the arctic circle where it rained 5 out of the 7 days - amazing water proof properties. Only complaint is that it wears out fast. I got 2 years of steady use out of my mine until the seams started to fall apart. I suppose this is expected from such a minimalist piece of gear. Will buy another one after my current one falls apart (which is very soon!).
Perfect minimalist go-to raingear
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I've been backpacking for 38 years and to this day I still don't head out on a trip where I KNOW it's going to rain. With that said I don't let a forecast for occasional showers stop me and the weather in the Northwest is unpredictable so I always carry raingear for those few times when I'll need it. After carrying full-on raingear from The North Face, Montbell, Mountain Hardwear and others, two years ago I picked up a Marmot Mica and since then it's always in my pack, even on dayhikes. It's light (my size XL weighs 7.8 oz) and folds into it's own inside-out pocket. Unlike some ultra-tight stuff sacks, the pocket is large enough that the jacket flattens out some when packed so it's easy to push into a cranny in your pack. When it does rain the jacket works as designed and keeps me perfectly dry. I normally wear a size Large but I bought a size XL Mica because I wanted to be able to put it on no matter how many layers I have on - and it is roomy enough to fit over my Montbell puffy down parka. The Mica has a large hood (large enough for a helmet?) but unlike other rain jackets, the hood on the Mica is easily adjustable for a great fit whether or not I'm wearing a fleece hat or baseball cap. All in all the Mica is the ideal fit for my backpacking needs and it's one of the few pieces of gear where I can't imagine looking for something lighter or better.
Great Purchase!!!

No Underarm Vents or Chest Pocket
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Description is misleading. Perhaps they changed the design since I bought mine (Sept 2012), but my jacket does not have the underarm vents or chest pocket mentioned in the description. I don't see any in the pictures, either.
Overall, the jacket is good. It's very light, compresses down to almost nothing, and the fabric is pretty breathable. The fit is great--whatever the Angel-Wing Movement cut is, it really works.
Hey Alex, thanks for the heads up!
I think we got the content wrong for this jacket, it shouldn't have pit zips according to Marmot's website. I'll try to get that corrected, thanks!
I was just at Marmot store in Aspen, Co.
The jacket does have zip pits.
There is also two front pockets that can be opened to whatever degree to regulate ventilation thru zip pits.
Maybe you are looking at an older version?
Also, the newest version has reinforcements in both the shoulders and lower sides for pack. Nice feature if your a trail runner.
Chris, are you describing the Super Mica rain coat ?
The Marmot Super Micra has the pit zips, this does not. Here is the Super with the zips:

This is a great lightweight, no frills, breathable, totally waterproof rain jacket. Perfect for summer rainstorms and lightweight hiking/backpacking.
Super light, not working for me in the rain though
This is a really light jacket that compresses well. It's nice to know I can stash it easily and without adding any noticeable weight, even on a day hike. It will even fit in your pants pocket if you want. I've had problems with the water proof factor though. I've had it for 1 year now, and it is not waterproof at all anymore. 5 minutes in light rain and it is already soaked through to the inside. Could it be possible mine is defective? I thought it had a 20,000 rating, and I find it hard to believe that this model would be that weak when exposed to the element it's designed to protect against.
you should try Nikwax, it will definitely help :)
I am looking to buy a new rain jacket and I have been really impressed by the reviews on the Marmot jackets, particularly the PreCip and the Mica, and I am thinking I am going to buy one of those two. Before I do that, I'd like to know some of the differences between the two and their pros/cons... From what I have gathered, the PreCip has the "Angel-Wing Movement" fit and a chin guard, while the Mica is slightly more breathable, weighs 4 ounces less and probably most importantly, has double the waterproof rating. Any other major points I should know about? Which jacket would you recommend? Oh, and does the Mica storm shell have pit zips?
I live in CO and I am buying this jacket primarily for all the hiking and camping I will do, although I could see myself using it as an everyday jacket as well. I look forward to using one of these jackets for years to come, especially since they have a lifetime warranty!
As far as dimensions go, I have about a 32" waist and a 36" chest, so should I go with a Medium size jacket?
Hey Nathan,
The Mica Jacket also has the angel wing movement. No, it doesn't have pit zips. The Mica has a few more bells and whistles than the PreCip but both are great jackets. The main difference is that the Mica has Strata membrain and PreCip is NanoPro (both Marmot proprietary fabrics). I'd go with Mica, it's a rad jacket. Marmot runs very true to size so go with what you normally wear. Good luck!

Nope, sorry Richard
Thanks for the help.

I was on the Internet before and my web viewing experience was just shocking. I could barely load the pics on facebook and news paper sites had trouble rendering as the CSS file couldn't load up.
It felt like I was 56k again but I did a speed test and "apparently" my internet connection was going at about 1.3Mbits with a latency of 200ms.
Are there any other factors other than latency or speed that influences your web experience?

Il rapporto sulle relazioni industriali in Europa 2010 esamina l'evolversi delle relazioni tra lavoratori, datori di lavoro e i rispettivi rappresentanti nel corso del biennio 2008-2010. La sintesi del rapporto offre una panoramica degli effetti della crisi economica e del ruolo rivestito dalle parti sociali nel contrastarla. Essa affronta quindi i sette capitoli del rapporto, ossia le tendenze delle relazioni industriali europee, il punto di vista delle parti sociali sulla crisi e le relative risposte, la flessibilità salariale e il salario minimo, le relazioni industriali e la transizione verso un'economia a basse emissioni di carbonio, nonché l'evoluzione del dialogo sociale e della legislazione nell'UE nel biennio 2008-2010. La sintesi è disponibile in tutte le lingue ufficiali dell'Unione europea, in formato elettronico, mentre l'intero rapporto è disponibile in inglese in formato cartaceo (ISBN 978-92-79-17861-0).
The economic crisis presented considerable challenges to industrial relations across the EU. This report reviews trends and developments in the relationships between workers, employers, their respective representatives and public authorities during 2008-10. It begins with an overview of the main characteristics of industrial relations institutions before analysing the strategies and perspectives of social partners and social dialogue developments in the face of the crisis. The report then examines wage bargaining, wage flexibility and minimum wages as well as the implications for industrial relations of the transition to a low-carbon economy. Finally, the report gives an overview of EU-level social dialogue and legislative developments. This publication is available in printed format in English only. The Executive Summary will soon be available online in 23 language versions.
All the graphs and tables included in this report can be downloaded both in gif and excel format by accessing the individual chapters here.
European Social Dialogue is one of the key elements of the European Social Model. European Sectoral Social Dialogue is the essential means by which the sectoral social partners contribute to the definition of European social standards. It is dynamic and keeps attracting new sectors: today 40 sectoral social dialogue committees work to the benefit of some 145 million workers , i.e. more than three quarters of the EU's workforce, and more than 6 million undertakings. This review presents recent developments in the work of the European sectoral social dialogue committees, highlighting their advances in areas such as skills, training and lifelong learning; working conditions; health and safety at the workplace; anticipation of change and restructuring; equal opportunities; corporate social responsibility and sustainable development. It contains detailed notes for each sector, describing its employment and industry characteristics; key challenges; and representative social partners; as well as the work programme and main outcomes of the respective sectoral social dialogue committee. This publication will be available in printed format in English, French and German.
European Works Councils have a renewed legal framework, aimed at favouring their creation and at better informing and consulting employees, especially in times of restructuring. This leaflet provides an insight into the changes introduced by the new legislation for the establishment and operation of European Works Councils. It is available in English, French and German.
La relazione integrale è disponibile in inglese in versione stampata. Una sintesi è disponibile in formato elettronico in tutte le altre lingue ufficiali dell'Unione Europea.
This report – the fifth edition in a well-established series – aims to increase the visibility of European social dialogue, describe and raise awareness of developments in European industrial relations, and initiate related discussion through its analytical chapters. The 2008 report addresses the main trends in industrial relations in the European Union, European social dialogue and EU labour law as well as the contribution of quality industrial relations to the Lisbon Strategy and wage setting and minimum wages in the European Monetary Union. The report is available in English both in printed form and on CD-Rom.
This leaflet explains in a clear way what European social dialogue is, how it works and who are the social partners. In addition, it highlights how citizens benefit and future developments and challenges. Providing an initial introduction to the topic and using visual elements for clarity, it also points the reader to sources of further information. It is targeted at the general public with a basic understanding of EU affairs. It is available in English, French and German.
The 2006 version of the bi-annual report outlines industrial relations trends at the national level (social partners as membership organisations, the interaction between collective bargaining and labour law, workplace representation) and at European level (European Social Dialogue, European labour law). Finally, it discusses trends at the labour market and the contribution of social dialogue to economic performance. The report is available only in English. Other language versions of the executive summary will follow.
This, the third report on Industrial Relations in Europe, comes at an interesting time, just as the European Union (EU) has embarked on its largest enlargement which will increase the diversity of industrial relations traditions and the need for social cohesion. Against this background, understanding better the different industrial relations systems in Europe — including how they are evolving and how they contribute to economic and social prosperity — is more important than ever.

Give Local "Dawson College Foundation!!"
The Dawson College Foundation participated in a nation and local day of giving in May 2015. Along with other Glendive nonprofits, we encouraged everyone to give to their favorite local charities. Local advertising for this day of giving was sponsored by the Montana Community Foundation.
We want to thank all of you who joined in millions of others around the country who showed their support for their favorite charities by giving financially.
And thank you all who contributed to the Dawson College Foundation!
The Dawson College Foundation is a non-profit organization 501(c)(3) established to raise funds that support and promote the welfare of Dawson Community College and its students. Funds are used for student scholarships, equipment, physical projects, student-life enhancements and other areas not normally supported by state and local funds. The Foundation manages a permanent endowment for the support of these efforts. Since its inception in 1963, the Foundation has been governed by a volunteer board of directors.

Each year the Dawson College Foundation calls on friends like you to give generously to support and promote the welfare of Dawson Community College. The Dawson College Foundation solicits and administers gifts to benefit DCC and its students. Donations to the Dawson College Foundation are used as scholarships for deserving DCC students, and to fund programs and projects to enrich the educational experience at the college.
Donations to the Foundation can be made in the form of money, stocks, real estate, and other property. Although real estate and other property must be evaluated and accepted, such donations often make a great deal of sense for the donor, and are genuinely welcomed by the Foundation. Donations are welcomed in any amount, and at any time. Membership donations fall into the following categories:
Up to $25
|Sustaining Member
Lifetime Member
$5,000 & above
The names of Lifetime Members are inscribed on a permanent plaque displayed at DCC. Most donations are given without restrictions; however, donors may request that their gifts be used for specific purposes, such as scholarships in particular programs.
The success DCC enjoys today is due in large measure to support from alumni and friends. Thank you for your continued commitment to DCC.
Whatever the amount, your gift to the Annual Fund it is important because it has an immediate and tangible impact on students, faculty and academic programs. Annual Fund gifts may be restricted to a particular program, department, scholarship, or left unrestricted to be used by the College where the need is greatest. You can make an annual gift to the Dawson College Foundation using one of the following methods:
Pledges enable donors to plan a personal giving program that is both convenient and tax-wise. A pledge may enable a donor to consider a more significant gift than would have been otherwise possible. Terms for payment on pledges are flexible and at the discretion of the donor.
Cash is often the most convenient form of giving. Cash gifts are fully deductible for federal income tax purposes, provided deductions are itemized.
Securities may be made as outright gifts, as a payment on a pledge, or to establish a planned gift. Stock certificates may be assigned directly to the Foundation or may be electronically transferred through the donor's broker. The average market value of the stocks on the date of transfer will determine the value of the gift for tax purposes. In addition to receiving federal and state tax deductions based on the full fair market value, capital gains tax is avoided when stock is transferred directly to the Foundation. Please consult with a Foundation staff member before a transaction is made to secure asset transfer information.
Direct Mail
All of our alumni and friends are given the opportunity to make a gift each Spring by mail. When you receive a request for support from your college please take a moment to review the funding needs that appeal to you. Whatever the amount of your gift, it will make a difference.
You can purchase your Dawson Community College plates for an additional $35 at the time of vehicle registration. Of that fee, $30 will be transferred to the Collegiate License Plate Endowed Scholarship. Your $30 can be claimed on your tax return as a tax-deductible contribution. Parents, friends, students and alumni, this is a wonderful way to show your support for Dawson Community College.

Become a Wing Girl and Play Matchmaker on Wingdate's New Online Dating Website
Innovative new website offers a different approach to online dating by allowing women to become virtual "Wing Girls" for their friends who are looking for love.
"One of the biggest drawbacks to online dating is that people often post misleading profiles or are not truthful about what they want, and that can make the experience disappointing and a waste of time," says CEO and Co-founder of Wingdate, Dara Barker. Barker believes that the best way to meet other singles is by introductions through friends who know them. Barker realized that if she could combine the traditional way of meeting people through friends, with the vast pool of online singles looking for love, people could have the best of all worlds. "Wingdate is about getting friends out on good, fun dates with interesting people."
As a "Wing Girl," you can recommend potential suitors to your friend and ensure that she only meets the most eligible bachelors. Men that create a profile on Wingdate can find their potential "Dream Girl" by impressing her "Wing Girl" and gaining an advocate in the process.
Barker founded Wingdate with business partner and fellow Ivy Leaguer, Warren Chao, a media and technology entrepreneur and investor who helped start My Damn Channel, a leading online studio and distribution company. Chao brings substantial experience in venture capital, corporate and intellectual property law, and launching web companies. "Dara's novel approach to online dating is brilliant because it combines traditional dating opportunities with Facebook's massive connective power," says Chao.
In addition to the online dating focus of the website, Wingdate hosts a blog where people can seek tried-and-true dating advice from "Dr. Wingdate" and special guest bloggers, including relationship and dating experts. Wingdate also hosts "Morning After Mondays," a series of funny user video posts about online dating.

Aruba attracts some one million visitors and cruise passengers per year, most from North America and
nearby Venezuela, and it ranks as one of the Caribbean's most popular vacation spots.
So what's the attraction? Miles of beaches, to start with, some quiet and smooth and others with stiff winds
and a choppy surf, as well as first-class hotels and resort, gambling casinos, shopping, and dozens of
opportunities for fine dining.
All you need to know for an unforgettable stay on Aruba, can be found here.
The visitor looking for glamour, glitz, fine beaches, and plenty activities to do, choose Aruba!
When to come for a vacation is one of the most frequently asked questions we get. Well, there is no bad time to visit Aruba: all year round good weather. Travelers can choose to visit in high or low tourist season: Mid-December through March are the most popular vacation months (high season) but prices drop significantly from mid-April through Mid-December (low season).
Also you can easily save money on your Aruba vacation with our free Discount Coupons and you can look at our Last Minute and Special Deals to find the best price for your vacation!

I am trying to change the border around my gallery thumbnail images, but I have been unsuccessful thus far.
I would like to implement a shadow, maybe using code similar to this:
.shadow {
-moz-box-shadow: 3px 3px 5px 6px #ccc;
-webkit-box-shadow: 3px 3px 5px 6px #ccc;
box-shadow: 3px 3px 5px 6px #ccc;
But I am not sure where to insert the shadow code (what div). An example page is http://www.buryindustrial.com/projects/coupling-replacement/. Around these thumbnail images is where I'd like to add the effect.
Help is greatly appreciated!

I've been using get_adjacent_post() to determine the previous and next posts. How would I go about determining the next and previous links to posts matching the same tag as the current post? It seems this function allows you to do this with posts in the same category, but not with the same tag.
So there is no easy way to flip it from categories to tags, but you can manipulate SQL query and add own conditions (or change to them completely).
This function is just modified get_adjacent_post:
Pass a category or tag's term_taxonomy_id to this functions $tax_id to use for a tag or a category. I use it like:
Just like get_adjacent_post, the bool $previous toggles between previous/next.

I have a WAN VPN with dynamic IP. I have configured my D-Link DIR-300 router so my computer is now connected to the internet.
I want internet also on another computer in the room. Although I've plugged in the cable on the other computer, it doesn't connect to internet. I think it is because I can't configure routing in the router panel.
My problem is that I don't know which IP, Subnet Mask and Gateway to assign to get my second computer to connect to internet because I have dynamic IP.
Which values should I enter? Do I need to configure some internet configuration on the second computer which I want to connect to the internet?

Though it sounds like a corny skit from the old "Benny Hill Show," Naughty Athletics provides much of what viewers with this sort of fantasy are yearning for. Credits are a bit spotty - and the girls uniformed so similarly - that specific ID's in each encounter won't be made.
The opener with Chris Charming (as a locker room panty-sniffer) sets the tone: lighthearted and arousing. This carries through to a sexy weight-lifting session. Better yet are a few picturesque exterior romps on a grassy knoll, especially three babes re-instructing their tennis coach.
What the title doesn't score is pure animal sweat. Porn encounters are (foremost) business transactions; interpersonal chemistry's a side effect. Naughty Athletics may be a bit too pretty/calculated to inspire jaded raincoaters for a game of pocketball.

County to fly 'Stars and Stripes' for Memorial Day
Published: Thursday, May 24, 2012 at 9:51 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 24, 2012 at 9:51 p.m.
The Henderson County Historic Courthouse will fly a replica of the original flag of the 13 colonies, "Stars and Stripes" created by Betsy Ross in 1776, this morning until Tuesday morning.
The flag, designed during the American Revolution, features motifs of alternating red-and-white stripes with 13 five-pointed stars in a blue canton. The distinctive feature of the flag is the arrangement of the stars in a circle.
"This flag plays a major role in United States history," County Manager Steve Wyatt said. "It was created alongside the foundation of our Republic and its basic design has lasted into the present. It is a reminder of the many brave men and women of our country that have made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom and our way of life the past 236 years. Flying this flag over Memorial Day weekend reminds us, as United States citizens, that freedom has a cost."

Actually, gay sex is still illegal in India. I'm not sure about man-on-dog action though.
For the country that came up with tantric sex and the kama sutra, India is amazingly puritanical about sex and PDAs. Witness all the trouble Richard Gere got into when he mock-kissed that bollywood actress on stage.
"Man Marries Bitch" Could be a headline pretty much anywhere.
I have some very bad news for Shri P Selvakumar of Tamil Nadu. This so-called marriage will do nothing to lift his curse unless it is consummated.
It is not this bun you have given her that the little doggy needs. It is your sausage.
Thank the Lard it wasn't a male dog!
Dan, while this kind of story is good for a little informal consciousness-raising, I'd be astonished to learn that this marriage is legally valid in India.
Neither the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, which regulates marriages between Hindus, nor the Special Marriage Act, 1954, which regulates interfaith marriages, provides for marriages between people and animals.
They seemed to place extra attention on the fact that he married a female dog, in a sari an ornaments, no less.
Just so, you know, you wouldn't think he was a fag or something.
This "marriage" between man and dog is not legal under Indian law nor does it have religious sanction in Hinduism. It is just a low-level village stunt. It sounds like the guy felt that by "marrying" the dog he would assuage his guilt for killing dogs. This too is not exactly high level karmic thinking, but if it makes the guy feel better, where is the harm? Moreover, for anyone in the West who takes this seriously, I ask: does the U.S. predict the weather by relying on chipmunks, aka Punksatawny Phil (sp?)??
More seriously, there have been lesbian marriages in India performed by Hindu priests (there is no formal religious prohibition within Hinduism for same-sex relations (and was widely acknowledged and practiced into the 19th c.)) and current prejudices are courtesy of those meddling Brits). Lesbians do not fall within the purview of Art. 377 of the Indian Penal Code (enacted by the Victorian British in the 1890s), which prohibits acts against "the order of nature." Caselaw has stated that such acts require "penetration." And, lesbians technically cannot penetrate anything naturally (tools and aids didn't figure into the legal picture). Men (more specifically the active partner) do come within Art. 377. By the way, this law has been challenged under the Indian Consitution by gay rights and AIDS awareness groups. The Indian Supreme Court is reviewing the law. There is a feeling the Court will "read down" the law to exempt consensual adult sex (and limit its application to prevent pedophelia, etc.). This was the recommendation of the Indian Law Reform Commission.
Gee, I thought the argument against gay marriage is that it would LEAD to men marrying their pets! That's what I'd heard. So what does marrying dogs lead to?
well, it shouldn't be too hard to get a blow job from his wife. all he has to do is rub some peanut butter on his balls.
Dolphins. Oh, wait. Some bitch already did that in California.
This guy is more like your tin foil hat man than joe shmoe. So wtf eh.
Also on an unfortunate note there's laws against gay marriage, anal and oral sex, but no one gives a damn or even knows about those ancient laws. If it ever came up in court the hearing would go the way of the Richard Gere 'indecency' trail, forced to drop charges because of public pressure.
I'm just happy it wasn't a male dog, because that would be disgusting.

A Participatory Documentary, Is It Possible?
By Ted Hope
By Mike Hedge
Every summer, deep in the Nevada desert, a temporary city is created by tens of thousands of people. This week-long celebration is known as Burning Man. Radical participation, gifting, self-reliance, and self-expression, are a few of the core principles.
After many years of post production, we have finally finished our huge participatory documentary, As The Dust Settles, which was shot out at Burning Man during the summer of 2008.
Our documentary was an ambitious and experimental project between several collaborating filmmakers. As far as I know, no other documentary has ever been made quite like it, following the unique perspectives of multiple collaborating directors. Our documentary was participatory, everyone was invited to be involved, and nobody really knew entirely where this journey was going to take them.
The idea for the documentary began back in 2006 and 2007 when I saw hundreds of beautiful and inspiring photos from Burning Man posted to Flickr. I remember being awe-struck by the color and the art. I thought it would be amazing if I could shoot a documentary there, using a new 4K resolution camera that was soon to be released, called the RED One. I had also recently been part of a photography project called A Million Little Pictures, where hundreds of people were given disposable cameras. Our photos then got displayed together at a group art show. After reaching out to some friends on Tribe.com about the project, several people suggested the idea of having a bunch of people each document their Burning Man experience.
Eventually, all of those ideas merged into the idea of having several collaborating filmmakers all combine their experiences into one multi-perspective documentary. I reached out to directors I knew, and they reached out to their friends. It was like a giant snowball; more and more people were added to the project, until ultimately we had about 25 people participate.
Our project proposal to Burning Man was approved, and we were one of a few documentary projects allowed to shoot in 2008. We bought and rented a ton of gear for the project, including three RED Digital Cinema cameras and several small HD pocket cameras. Most of the people working on the documentary had never been to Burning Man, so we prepared the best we could.
We had a special rule with our project. We agreed to spend only 50% of our time working on the project, this allowed for the rest of our time to be spent fully immersing ourselves in the Burning Man experience. Several of the originally planned shoots did not come together as planned, as on the playa things can change with little warning. The environment at Burning Man is both breathtakingly beautiful and, at times, as harsh as you can imagine. You can be trapped in dust storms for hours.
We ended up capturing about 440 hours of footage, from about 17 different cameras, shooting 10 different formats. We had footage from the RED 4K cameras, several pocket cameras shooting HD, and even a Flip camera. Post production began immediately. We processed all of the 4K and HD footage down to tiny 240p files, so that we could collaboratively edit the documentary from several different cities. We hired an editor to begin the editing process, but that didn't work out too well, so we each tried going through our own footage to edit something together. I think people involved with the project became busy with their own lives after the shoot. So in May 2011, after years of struggle with the edit, I started editing full time in an effort to actually get the film finished, due to a promise I had originally made that I would complete the film. It was an unbelievable effort, but I was eventually able to combine the various perspectives from five of the collaborating directors. In September 2012, we finally had the final cut done and sent off to over a dozen film festivals. Sadly, I then had to re-edit the entire film, but that's a whole other story. We had our world premiere in March 2013 at the Byron Bay International Film Festival in Australia.
Here are seven lessons I have learned along the long, wildly exciting, and completely exhausting journey to get our documentary finished:
Multiple Cameras and Timestamps-
Since our documentary follows the exact time sequence of how things actually occurred during the seven days of Burning Man, it was vital to be able to sort all the media by the exact hour or minute it was captured. Due to several of the cameras having incorrect timestamps, organizing the footage became a tedious and frustrating process of manual sorting. Even though I had made sure that each of the cameras we used in the project were all synced to the same timecode, I neglected to double check. I then failed to fix the incorrect timecode metadata on the files before we processed all of the footage and renamed all the media. Since we had already distributed the hard drives with the wrongly-named media to several collaborators, I had to keep working with the incorrect timestamps. Ultimately, I had to visually organize all of the media files by day, and then edit each day until I had an assembly edit that combined all of the different perspectives from the 17 different cameras. Not an easy lesson to learn.
Watermark Your Footage-
We had an unfortunate situation during post production, where one of the people we had hired to do some editing, ended up taking media from the editing hard drives, and posting it online without permission. It was a very stressful experience, as I had not watermarked any of the footage. Lesson learned. If you are going to pass along your footage to someone else to edit, please be careful with who you trust, make sure that you watermark your footage, and of course make sure that you have at least two sets of master backups of all the footage in separate locations.
Split The Expenses-
Since the funding for the project came primarily from one source, it was often difficult to get any involvement from some of the collaborators involved in the project. Had we all split the expenses, I think it would have been a more pleasant experience, as each of the collaborators would have had some stake in the project, and thus an incentive to see it get finished successfully.
Health, Food, and Exercise-
If you are going to choose to edit the film yourself, make sure you decide on a healthy schedule. One where you are taking enough time to exercise and eat well. The idea of the project being so important that 15-18 hours a day need to be spent on getting it finished can sound smart, but in the long run the loss of health and sleep are not worth it. I wish I had paid more attention to my health, and to exercising and eating properly.
Don't Promise to Finish Your Project-
Originally, as part of the approval process, I had made a personal promise that I would finish the project. Giving my word was something I thought I could commit to, because I had assumed everything would go as planned and that the project wouldn't be too difficult to complete. But things changed over the years, and due to various unfortunate situations regarding the media or the people participating, the project gradually came to a complete stop. Knowing that I had given my word and that I had been trusted to complete the project, I kept going. It was all very overwhelming, and at times it felt as if every day somebody was dumping different boxes of puzzle pieces onto the already staggering state of problems. I had nightmares about needing to finish the project. So, if I were to do it all over again, I wouldn't make a personal promise to finish a project, especially not a participatory project with dozens of participants. It's stressful enough just trying to get a film finished, so I wouldn't burden myself by pretending to be my own completion bond company again.
Finish Your Film Fast-
Some other project with the same subject or topic as yours, just might appear out of nowhere and finish theirs before you. This is what happened to our project. Another documentary shot at Burning Man, shot three years after we did, managed to finish their project before us. We were in no position to compete with the other project, and although it was a completely different type of documentary, we missed out on many opportunities for our documentary.
Don't Set Expectations Too High-
One of the toughest experiences I had to go through, was all the rejection. Rejection from over a dozen film festivals, including some I was even an alumni of. The selection committees pick films for their reasons, and each year is different. Our film might have gotten into several of the festivals, had we finished the film several years earlier. I was pretty shocked that our film didn't get selected for documentary festivals such as True False, Full Frame, or Big Sky. I truly thought that our documentary, which has no added music, no set-up interviews, and no voice-overs or narration, would be just the type of documentary that documentary film festivals would be looking for; something unique, something not like other documentaries. Because I had my expectations set so high, I ended up being incredibly let down. Lesson learned. I managed to move on, grateful that we were able to have a world premiere in Australia at the 2013 Byron Bay International Film Festival.
After our two sold-out screenings at our world premiere, I focused on finishing the DVD and getting the film exported for the various online platforms like Amazon and Hulu using Kinonation. Our film is finally out this week on online platforms like: Amazon Instant, Seed&Spark, Hulu, Vimeo VOD, VHX, Indieflix, Reelhouse, Distrify, Indie Reign, as well as direct from us using Gumroad. The film is also available on DVD and USB Drive.
It takes unbelievable willpower to not give up; a perfect balance of persistence and patience. Every time I get caught up in the seriousness of getting a film launched to the world, I remind myself that there are thousands of other people also trying to get their films out, who are also vying for the audience's attention. It sure is a fascinating time we live in, so I remind myself to relax and enjoy the process.

I got my walmart card 2 months ago with a $400 limit
My first statement cycle closed 2 days after i got my card so i got a $0 balance and no statement
In my second cycle, i used the card once for $59 and PIF after i got the statement, and $59 was reported to all agencies.
Last week i called underwriting to give it a try for CLI, and told them i want to buy some electronics with the 18 no interest rate and we are in the holiday season....
anyway i obviously got denied
Now my question is: How much should i use my card every month to get the best chances for a CLI in the future ?
When will i hit the 4 months ? After my 4th or 5th statement ? because the first month i didn't use the card (only 2 days in the statement cycle )
Does that month counts in my case or not ?
Please advice me from personal experience
GE gives CLI auto usually between 2-4 months, but possibly 6... you should start requesting after 4 but maybe 6 if you don't get an auto.
GE likes TONS OF USE!!!!
