U.S. strategy changed in 1950, when the North Koreans invaded the South, sparking the Korean War. Pyongyang's motives remain unclear, as do the roles of Moscow and Beijing in the decision. Obviously, Pyongyang wanted to unite the peninsula under communist control, and obviously, it did not carry out its invasion against Chinese and Russian wishes, but it appears all involved estimated the operation was within the capabilities of the North Korean army. Had the North Korean military faced only South Korean forces, they would have been right. They clearly miscalculated the American intent to intervene, though it is not clear that even the Americans understood their intent prior to the intervention. However, once the North Koreans moved south, President Harry Truman decided to intervene. His reasoning had less to do with Korea than with the impact of a communist military success on coalition partners elsewhere. The U.S. global strategy depended on Washington's ability to convince its partners that it would come to their aid if they were invaded. Strategic considerations aside, not intervening would have created a crisis of confidence, or so was the concern. Therefore, the United States intervened.
After serious difficulties, the United States managed to push the North Korean forces back into the North and pursue them almost to the Yalu River, which divides Korea and China. This forced a strategic decision on China. The Chinese were unclear on the American intent but did not underestimate American power. North Korea had represented a buffer between U.S. allies and northeastern China (and a similar buffer for the Soviets to protect their maritime territories). The Chinese intervened in the war, pushing the Americans back from the Yalu and suffering huge casualties in the process. The Americans regrouped, pushed back and a stalemate was achieved roughly along the former border and the current Demilitarized Zone. The truce was negotiated and the United States left forces in Korea, the successors of which President Obama addressed during his visit.
The great mystery of the post-Cold War world is the survival of the North Korean regime. With a dynamic South, a non-Communist Russia and a China committed to good economic relations with the West, it would appear that the North Korean regime would have found it difficult to survive. This was compounded by severe economic problems (precipitated by the withdrawal of economic support from the Chinese and the Russians) and reported famines in the 1990s. But survive it did, and that survival is rooted in the geopolitics of the Cold War.
From the Chinese point of view, North Korea served the same function in the 1990s as it did in 1950: It was a buffer zone between the now economically powerful South Koreans (and the U.S. military) and Manchuria. The Russians were, as during the Korean War, interested in but not obsessed by the Korean situation, the more so as Russia shifted most of its attention west. The United States was concerned that a collapse in North Korea would trigger tensions with the Chinese and undermine the stability of its ally, South Korea. And the South Koreans were hesitant to undertake any actions that might trigger a response from North Korean artillery within range of Seoul, where a large portion of South Korea's population, government, industry and financial interests reside. In addition, they were concerned that a collapsing North would create a massive economic crisis in the South, having watched the difficulties of German integration and recognizing the even wider economic and social gap between the two Koreas.
In a real sense, no one outside of North Korea was interested in changing the borders of the peninsula. The same calculations that had created the division in the first place and maintained it during and after the Korean War remained intact. Everyone either had a reason to want to maintain an independent North Korea (even with a communist regime) or was not eager to risk a change in the status quo.
The most difficult question to answer is not how the United States viewed the potential destabilization of North Korea but rather its willingness to maintain a significant troop level in South Korea. The reason for intervening in the first place was murky. The U.S. military presence between 1953 and 1991 was intended to maintain the status quo during the Cold War. The willingness to remain beyond that is more complex.
Part of it simply had to do with inertia. Just as U.S. troops remain in Germany a generation after the end of the Cold War, it was easier not to reconsider U.S. strategy in Korea than to endure the internal stress of reconsidering it. Obviously, the United States did not want tensions between South Korea and North Korea, or to have the North Koreans misunderstand a withdrawal as an invitation to try another military move on the South, however unlikely. The Japanese saw Korean unification as problematic to their interests, since it could create a nearby industrial economic power of more than 70 million people and rekindle old rivalries. And North Korea, it would seem, actually welcomes the American presence, believing it limits South Korean adventurism. Between inertia and what we will call a proto-strategy, the United States remains.
With the loss of its Cold War patrons and the changing dynamic of the post-Cold War world, the North Koreans developed a survival strategy that Stratfor identified in the 1990s. The Koreans' intention was to appear -- simultaneously -- weak, fearsome and crazy. This was not an easy strategy to carry out, but they have carried it out well. First, they made certain that they were perceived to be always on the verge of internal collapse and thus not a direct threat to anyone but themselves. They went out of their way to emphasize their economic problems, particularly the famines in the 1990s. They wanted no one to think they were intent on being an aggressor unless provoked severely.
Second, they wanted to appear to be fearsome. This would at first blush seem to contradict the impression of weakness, but they managed it brilliantly by perpetually reminding the world that they were close to developing nuclear weapons and longer-range missiles. Recognizing that the Americans and Japanese had a reflexive obsession with nuclear weapons, Pyongyang constantly made it appear that they were capable of developing nuclear weapons but were not yet there. Not being there yet meant that no one had to do something about the weapons. Being close to developing them meant that it was dangerous to provoke them. Even North Korea's two nuclear tests have, intentionally or incidentally, appeared sub-par, leaving its neighbors able to doubt the technological prowess of the "Hermit Kingdom."
The final piece was to appear crazy, or crazy enough that when pressed, they would choose the suicide option of striking with a nuclear weapon, if they had one. This was critical because a rational actor possessing one or a few weapons would not think of striking its neighbors, since the U.S. counterstrike would annihilate the North Korean regime. The threat wouldn't work if North Korea was considered rational, but, if it was irrational, the North Korean deterrence strategy could work. It would force everyone to be ultra-cautious in dealing with North Korea, lest North Korea do something quite mad. South Korean and U.S. propaganda did more for North Korea's image of unpredictability than the North could have hoped.
North Korea, then, has spent more than two decades cultivating the image to the outside world of a nation on the verge of internal economic collapse (even while internally emphasizing its strength in the face of external threats). At the same time, the country has appeared to be on the verge of being a nuclear power -- one ruled by potential lunatics. The net result was that the major powers, particularly South Korea, the United States and Japan, went out of their way to avoid provoking the North. In addition, these three powers were prepared to bribe North Korea to stop undertaking nuclear and missile development. Several times, they bribed the North with money or food to stop building weapons, and each time the North took the money and then resumed their program, quite ostentatiously, so as to cause maximum notice and restore the vision of the weak, fearsome lunatic.
The North was so good at playing this game that it maneuvered itself into a position in which it sat as an equal with the United States, Japan, Russia, China and South Korea -- and it would frequently refuse to attend the six-party talks. The ability to maneuver itself into a position equal to these powers was North Korea's greatest achievement, and it had a tremendous effect on stabilizing the regime by reinforcing its legitimacy internally and its power externally. Underneath this was the fact that no one was all that eager to see North Korea collapse, particularly since it was crazy and might have nuclear weapons. North Korea created a superb strategy for regime preservation in a very hostile region -- or one that appeared hostile to the North Koreans.
Crucially for Pyongyang, North Korea was of tremendous use to one power: China. Even more than North Korea's role as a buffer state, its antics allowed China to emerge as mediator between the inscrutable Pyongyang and the frustrated United States. As China's economy grew, its political and military interests and reach expanded, leading to numerous tensions with the United States. But Beijing recognized that North Korea was a particular obsession of the United States because of its potential nuclear weapons and American sensitivity to weapons of mass destruction. Whenever North Korea did something outrageous, the United States would turn to China to address the problem. Having solved it, it was then inappropriate for Washington to press China on any other issue, at least for a while. Therefore, North Korea was a superb mechanism for the Chinese to deflect U.S. pressure on other issues.
For all of their occasional provocations, the North Koreans have been careful never to cross a line with conventional or nuclear power to compel a response from the South or the United States. Their ability to calibrate their provocations has been striking, even as their actions have escalated through nuclear tests to military action against South Korean ships and islands in the West Sea. Also striking is the manner in which those provocations have increased China's leverage with the United States.
At this point, it would be difficult for the United States to withdraw from South Korea. The North Korean nuclear threat fixes the situation in place, even for troops that aren't relevant to that threat. The troops could be withdrawn, but they won't be because the inertia of the situation makes it easier to leave them there than withdraw. As for the South Koreans, they simultaneously dislike the American presence and want it there, since it ensures U.S. military involvement in any crisis.
While the U.S. troop presence in Korea may not make the most sense in a global U.S. military strategy, it ironically seems to fit, at least for now, the interests of the Chinese, South Koreans and Japanese, and even in some sense the North Koreans. The United States, as the global power, therefore is locked into a deployment that does not match the regional requirements, requires endless explanation and is the source of frequent political complications. What we are left with is a U.S. strategy not based necessarily on the current situation but one tied to a historical legacy, left in place by inertia and held in place by the North Korean nuclear "threat."

By Amy Haviland, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command Public AffairsAugust 11, 2014
FORT EUSTIS, Va. -- After a week of challenging competition, the command responsible for training the Army chose its best Soldiers during the 2014 Noncommissioned Officer and Soldier of the Year ceremony here, Aug. 8.
U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command named Sgt. 1st Class David Smith, representing U.S. Army Cadet Command, Fort Knox, Kentucky, as TRADOC's 2014 NCO of the Year and Spc. Joshua Roberts, representing the Maneuver Support Center of Excellence at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, was named TRADOC's Soldier of the year.
Command Sgt. Maj. Daniel Dailey, TRADOC's command sergeant major and ceremony host, said the competition provided an opportunity to spend time with the best of the best.
"It is an absolute pleasure to spend time with the quality we have in this room … you truly represent your commands, and I am extremely proud to have spent a week with you and watch you perform," he said.
The performance, a weeklong competition packed with various tasks, ranging from a 12-mile road march to a "stress shoot," was physically and mentally challenging, day in and day out, according to TRADOC's NCO of the Year.
"You were physically pushed to your limits, and mentally --having all of the steps to your warrior tasks and battle drills while you're being physically challenged -- it was tough, absolutely tough," said Smith, a senior military instructor at the University of North Georgia.
Roberts, who currently serves as the executive assistant for the MSCoE command sergeant major, said the variety of events -- including an unexpected "stress shoot," where competitors had to practice field medical aid on a simulated casualty, dragging it 200 meters to safety all while under fire, kept competitors on their toes.
"It was a complete surprise for us," Roberts said. "We just thought we were going to a zero range and we were going to qualify with pop-ups."
TRADOC's Soldier of the Year said the broad range of tasks made the competition interesting.
"We went from shooting to a stress shoot going straight into (nuclear, biological, chemical) operations, and then we got thrown into teaching a foreign national how to tear apart and put together a weapons system that they had never seen before," Roberts said.
Although the days were challenging, Smith said the NCOs displayed exceptional professionalism and teamwork during the competition.
"We had such a great group of NCOs," he said. "At night, we all would just help each other before the next day's events, so the competitors were working with each other to help each other."
In addition to helping one another, Smith said the NCOs and Soldiers within the competition provided something even more valuable.
"Coming here and competing with these noncommissioned officers and Soldiers -- it reenergizes you and motivates you to be the best Soldier you can possibly be."
Smith and Roberts will represent TRADOC at the U.S. Army Best Warrior Competition in October at Fort Lee, Virginia.

Sporting Clube de Goa, also known as SCG, is an association football club based in the Indian state of Goa who currently participate in the I-League which is India's premier league competition in the country. It is built on the lines of Portuguese club Sporting CP and adopting a similar club crest.
The club Cidade de Goa (City of Goa) was purchased by Sporting's current owners and renamed Sporting Clube de Goa in 1999.
Sporting Clube de Goa pulled out of I-League 2016-17 citing AIFF bias against I-League.[1]
Sporting Clube de Goa, a professional football club, came into existence in 1999, when the public of Panjim decided to launch a football club after Cidade de Goa disbanded its football team. Thus, after Vasco Sports Club, Sporting became the second club of public shareholding in Goa. The club, built on the lines of Portuguese club Sporting Clube de Portugal, has made rapid strides in the national circuit. Sporting shot to prominence by an impressive performance in the 2001–02 Federation Cup, the team made it to the last four after victories over stronger teams like East Bengal and Indian Bank.
Sporting made its debut in the 2003–04 season of the Indian National Football League Premier Division, and were on the verge of winning their first league championship but lost out on the last day when Dempo pipped them to the title. Their season was marred by a horrific bus accident which ruled out 4 key players for the whole season, while several others were injured. However, led by Nigerian import Dudu Omagbemi, they managed to complete their matches in a very short span of time after being given a few weeks off so that their players could recover, and heroically came second ahead of traditional powerhouses East Bengal, Mohun Bagan, Salgaocar and Mahindra United.[2] Sporting entered the finals of 2005 Federation Cup, and emerged as the runner-up. In the following season, the club reached the finals once again, but lost in penalty shoot-out to Mohun Bagan.[2] After getting relegated from the I-League in 2010 Sporting Goa participated in the 2011 I-League 2nd Division and won promotion by finishing in 2nd place.
The Sporting Crest is supposed to be almost an exact replica of the Sporting CP but not completely. One notable difference is the fact that on Sporting Portugal's crest it actually says Sporting Portugal while Sporting Goa's does not. Another difference is that Sporting Portugal's crest is coloured in mostly dark green and yellow while the Sporting Goa crest is darkish green and white.
While the crest of Sporting Goa may be green and white the official colours of Sporting Goa are orange and white. In fact the club nickname is the flaming orange. On the home kits Sporting wear an orange jersey with white shorts and orange socks while the away kit is all white but with an orange collar.
Traditionally, Sporting Goa have played at the Fatorda Stadium in Margao, Goa. During the 2011 I-League 2nd Division however, they had to play at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Shillong as the league does not host matches in home and away format. As SC Goa are back in the top-tier of the I-League, they have again started to play their home games at Fatorda Stadium.
On 16 August 2013 Sporting launched their own football academy on the occasion of the 198th anniversary of founding of Don Bosco.[3] The academy for various age groups, namely U-10, U-12, U-14, U-16, U-18 and U-20, will have a coaching team built around Spanish coach Javier Fernandez, who will be assisted by coaches Norbert Gonsalves, Ashwin Crasto, Francisco Raposo and Freddy Gomes and will work under the overall supervision and guidance of Sporting's head coach Oscar Bruzon in order to implement the Sporting Clube de Goa youth development plan Sporting Goa also renovated the football ground at Don Bosco College in Panaji with the installation of sub-surface slit drainage combined with the laying of perforated pipes. The original mud topping has given way to sand based top layer, which encourages drainage, healthy grass growth and provides a level and cushioned playing surface.[4]

Not all of the attention is innocent: Covertly tracking their moves is Stuntman Mike, a scarred, weathered rebel who leers from behind the wheel of his muscle car.

I used to not pay too much attention to keeping terminal tackle in good condition, but I'm more organized about it now. Buying new hooks every spring costs a lot of money, and in the past it's been necessary just because I haven't taken care of them like I should. Now I keep everything tournament-ready all the time.
I store my hooks in a waterproof Plano 3700 box and keep them as dry as possible. That applies to the hooks on all my lures too. I don't just switch baits and throw the one I cut off back in the box. Usually I'll leave them out until they dry, probably in one of my boat's cup holders, and then put them back in their proper boxes that evening after I'm done for the day. Presuming they're dry, I'll clean them up a bit, clip off any knots, clear the line ties and store them away where they belong.
Making sure everything is organized and ready to fish is not only helpful to your results, but it also encourages you to be mentally disciplined about everything you do when you're on the water.

Since I had this in Sausalito when I was a young women, it has been my favorite. The Trident Restaurant had the best. I could not find it ever after. Now, I am happy to have the recipe but am diabetic. I can imbibe a little and will use a sugar substitute because I have to. Thank you for this recipe. : )

That's definitely a ladies drink. And I also find the 3 dashes of Orange flower water a bit too much. Excellent refresher otherwise.

This is it! I lived in New Orleans for years, but then it was mostly 'Cuba Libre" time.
A memorable Ramos was served me in San Francisco, so I got my recipe there.
The seltzer is a real addition to this drink, and so is the increase in cream. I use
even more cream and also more lime, but yours is classique

seems like way to much orange flower h20 and citrus and not enough cream.....would be way off.
2 oz Gin (Old tom if you got it)
.5oz Lemon
.5oz Lime
1 oz Simple Syrup (1:1)
1 oz Cream
5-7 drops Orange flower water (to taste)
egg white
seltzer (add at the bottom of the collins glass to get nice rising effect at the top about 2 oz)

I rode my bike to and from work yesterday and rode it back again today. The traffic was a whole lot worse this morning because the Starkville schools being back in session.
Emily and I ate at the Veranda for New Year's Eve. We got their lobster and steak special, it was the first time I have ever eaten lobster so I am not sure if it was that good or not, anyway I was not impressed.

I actually got out and rode my bike two days in a row. I have this nice little loop starting from my apartment, going down Jackson to University, going through campus, and coming out on Blackjack and back down Locksley Way. Today I went across 82 and made the ERC loop too.

Christmas was fun. I drove down to Natchez a week ago. Mother had a ton of food cooked and it was great. Then Brumfield, David, and I went to New Orleans for Wed/Thur to go shopping and stuff. It was a blast. Got to go back to Abita Springs so I am happy. On Friday I got new tires for my car. Turned out that my spare was totally shot so I am glad I never had a flat. For lunch my parents, David, and I went to the Castle and it was pretty good. Later we all went and watched Meet the Fockers. It was funny in a goofy way. I got everything I asked for for Christmas and a few surprises. Some of the stuff I got is the Wizard of Oz on DVD, a retro iron, cufflinks, a pump for my bike, and Paper Mario 2. Paper Mario is like crack, I have played it almost six hours so far and am just in chapter two. Sunday at church was strange because everybody my age is getting married, already married, or popping out kids. My Dad and I spent the afternoon under David's car replacing his leaky gas tank. It was all pretty much straightforward until we started putting stuff back together and the hardened nuts/bolts tack welded to the muffler would not come off. A little chiseling and it was all good. I got up pretty early Monday to drive back up to Starkvegas. My Mom had to cook me pancakes and bacon before I could leave and it was good. I made pretty good time coming back and avoided the perils of Lakeland Drive by going up to Canton and over on 16. When I stopped to get gas at the identity confused BP/Kangaroo gas station, the pump stopped by itself on exactly $17.00 and the tank was full. When I got back in the car my odometer was on 151000 and the trip odo was on 170.0. Something else that was nice, my 15 y/o car made 30mpg back from Canton even loaded down with all of my stuff.

This beautiful apartment is furnished to a high standard. It is located in the elegant del Duque area of Costa Adeje, near Torviscas, South Tenerife, which is known for its upmarket restaurants and shops. The apartment has 3 bedrooms, can sleep 6. Each of the 3 bedrooms has fitted wardrobes and a ceiling fan, and each can sleep 2. The terrace is very pleasant, with sun all afternoon, and marvelous sea views. The lounge is tastefully furnished with a leather sofa, TV, with satellite dish (English channels), DVD, dining area. The separate kitchen is fully equipped with oven, ceramic hob, fridge/freezer, microwave and dishwasher, boiler, coffee machine, scale, etc. Washing machine and ironing facilities. Each bathroom has a bath with shower and bidet. This is a wonderful apartment for a pleasant, relaxing and high quality vacation in the Del Duque area of Tenerife. The pool is heated all year round, with free access to sunbeds and umbrellas. Covered garage space available.
SURROUNDINGS: Playa del Duque is a stylish and cosmopolitan resort situated south of Tenerife. The beach of Playa del Duque is less than 10 minutes walk from the complex and on the way you will pass numerous shopping centers and restaurants (Spanish, Thai, Italian, Chinese). The nearby Fanabe centre is closed to traffic and its pedestrianised walks are alive with open air restaurants and bars. To the west is the small fishing village of La Caleta, which has a handful of bars and some excellent fish restaurants, which creates a traditional and peaceful atmosphere. To the east is the resort of Playa de las Americas with its many bars, restaurants, 'English' pubs and nightlife. This can be reached in a few minutes by car but a better way to approach it is to take a stroll along the lovely Geranium walk, a flower bedecked promanade stretches all the way to the port of Los Cristianos. There are 5 golf courses within 30 minutes drive the nearest being the 18 hole course at Golf Costa Adeje.
Arrivals / Departures: The apartment is available from 02PM onwards.
Departures should not take place after 10AM in order to unable to clean the apartment. However, if there is no arrival until later in the day or the following day, departure can take place at any time on request.
A beatiful spacious apartment in a great location. There is a fully equiped kitchen and all the rooms open onto a large terrace which was perfect for dining outdoors. It was even nicer than the photos. The pool was great and there were plenty of sunbeds.
The apartment was clean and well maintained and finished to a high standard. The apartment also has wireless internet connection which we put to good use.
Nathalie was very helpful when we got to the apartment and both Nathalie & Daniel provided excellent customer service.
We would recommend this apartment to both family and friends.
Within 5/10 minutes of the apartment there are plenty of restaurants, shops and a great beach.
We had a great holiday and are planning to book the apartment again soon.
From the very start the communication was great and on arrival Natty was there to welcome us with a smile. She had stocked the fridge with the basics to get going and to make a tea after the flight. Apartment has everything you need including towels for the beach. Local market (Thur & Sat) on the door step, 24 hour mini market and 2 larger super markets close along with nearest restaurants and bars. The area is lovely along with the complex which is relaxing and quiet and so well kept. We normally stay in hotels but we all enjoyed this holiday so much, hotels are so out now. Would be more than happy to book again or recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing break with great accommodation and pool area. Natty, thank you so much :-)
A lovely spacious and bright apartment, everything provided for a lovely break. Very nice heated pool and close to bars and restaurants
We stayed at the apartment for 7 nights from 13th June 2014.
After a short taxi ride from the airport (15 mins), we were greeted by the very friendly Nat who showed us around and made us feel at home straight away!
The apartment is in a very secure and modern complex, the other apartments were residential and we barely heard any noise from any of them.
The pictures do not do the apartment justice - it is very modern and spotlessly clean. There is a flat screen TV in the sitting room (was great for watching the World Cup on!) and a comfy L-shaped sofa. The balcony is private and got the sun in the afternoon.
There are two very modern bathrooms and we were delighted to find the showers were hot and very powerful - sometimes hard to find when travelling abroad!
The Del Duque area again is very modern, and mostly made up of luxury housing and apartments. The lovely beach is a 10 min walk away (downhill), and there are a few restaurants/bars on the beach front but we found these to be quiet and expensive - for eating and drinking Fanabe is only a 15 minute walk from the apartment (or a two minute taxi ride) and has plenty of bars and restaurants which were considerably cheaper and really good quality. Most of these look over Fanabe beach and have great views of the sunset!
The area is quite hilly (we are a couple in our late 20's so this was not an issue), so may not be suitable for people with walking difficulties. However taxis were easily available and cheap (a taxi from the apartment to Fanabe for example was about 3 Euros).
We had a brilliant time in Tenerife and would not hesitate to return to the apartment!
Thank You Nat!
We are a family of four, stayed for 11 Days in February 2014. The apartment is very nice. Clean and very good maintained. Kitchen is very good equipt with all the basics one might need.
The only thing that could need an update is bedlinen and mattresses.
Balcony has sun from around late afternoon.
The whole complex is beatiful, and incredibly Clean and quiet.
We were greeted by Brian, a really nice and friendly guy who showed us around the complex.
By the way, restautants at Adeje by the sea are nice, but a bit expensive. We Went to Fanabe, 15 min stroll, where there are a lot of restaurants. Do not eat at the restaurants at sea line (such as Brasserie, Atlantico and similar) the food are lousy. Take a Sangria there, and then you eat at the roads up from the beach (such as Cordon Rojo, Cour de filet, Capri) We found that all places without a "inthrower" where good. Price for four persons with wine abt. euro 60-90.
Have a nice vacation!
We had a fantastic holiday in this beautiful apartment. The booking process was easy and Nathalie was great throughout. The apartment is spacious, clean and in a really good position, close to shops and restaurants and a short walk to the fabulous El Duque beach. We were 5 adults and found there was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. The availablity of British TV allowed us to keep up with the Olympics. The pool is lovely and the whole residence is amazingly well-kept and quiet. It was great to find all the basics such as towels, beach towels, dishwasher tablets and there were drinks in the fridge on arrival, which were very welcome! Thanks to Nathalie we were able to spend our last day on the beach before returning the towels and setting off for our late evening flight. I would thoroughly recommend this apartment. It's also great value and nice to see that the price is the same all year round.
El Duque boasts a variety of shops, bars and restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets. El duque and Fanabe beach are ideal for relaxing in the sun or you can take advantage of the many water sports on offer, from paragliding to water-skiing. Puerto Colon Marina is only a short walk away where you can enjoy many of the boat trips on offer including a trip to the nearby island of La Gomera (a walker's paradise) or venture out to watch the pilot whales and dolphins in their natural habitat. The championship Adeje Golf course is nearby for those who enjoy a round or two. Siam Water Park is now open. It is the largest water park in the whole of Europe.
Other Activities: quad, karting, aquatic parks etc.

Firefox address bar: Double click highlights whole URL, not the word (self.linux4noobs)
submitted 3 years ago by linuxham
In Windows, if you double click on "google" of "www.google.com", only "google" will be highlighted. In Ubuntu, it seems that all of "www.google.com" will be highlighted.
Anyone know a way to fix this? I imagine it could either be a Firefox fix or a Ubuntu change somewhere.
Firefox 18.0.2
Ubuntu 12.10
[–]perkited 3 points4 points5 points 3 years ago (1 child)
This is the default due to the way Linux handles copy/paste with mouse middle click (without the need to hit ctrl-c ctrl-v). You can try to make it function the Windows way by playing with the "browser.urlbar" (like "browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll" and "browser.urlbar.doubleClickSelectsAll") and "layout.word" options in about:config.

Look in about:config for browser:single click highlights URL, something like that should be similar I what you are looking for

Artists are usually a colourful bunch.
But Mosgiel artist Marie Reid prefers black and white
''I've got a fetish for cows,'' she admitted, with a chuckle,
last week.
''I started painting about 11 years ago and got into cows
four or five years ago.''
In 2010 she had a bovine exhibition at the Wobbly Goat Cafe.
''All my paintings sold, except for the one of a rear view.
So that may explain it; faces are prettier.''
Since then, her cows have appeared in art award exhibitions
in Southland, South Otago, Wanaka, North Otago and Dunedin.
Last year, she won the TrustPower Award at the Art South
Otago awards with a painting of young waxeyes sitting on a
''Cows are my main thing, but I have also painted some stags.
I like painting any sexy beast, really.''
She has also been painting commissioned montages for people
leaving the district or retiring.
She enjoys correlating ideas and images that have
significance to that person and the area they live in.
''When they receive their personalised original painting,
they can be quite emotional - in a good way, that is.''
Mrs Reid also teaches art to schoolchildren in Mosgiel.

Not only is Donald Trump a highly successful real estate mogul, but he once owned a football team and is the only presidential candidate with his very own board game. Just a bit of Trump trivia you can use to sound smart at Halloween parties. With that in mind, why not pay tribute by dressing up as The Donald this year? A Donald Trump Halloween costume is topical, funny, and you won't have to spend all night explaining who you are (unless your friends are total losers).
Daredevil Felix Baumgartner Costume
Jumping from a platform on the edge of space might seem scary to some, but if you're daredevil Felix Baumgartner it's all in a day's work. Fearless Felix's record jump awed millions watching around the world, helping inspire the the next generation of young thrill seekers.
Fortunately you can imitate your hero even if you are afraid of heights. How? With your Felix Baumgartner costume, of course. With Halloween coming up there's no doubt we'll be seeing quite a few mini-Felixes out there this year. But you'll have to get creative, because this is one costume that you probably won't find in stores.
"Call Me Maybe" Carly Rae Jepsen Costume
Some of the things Americans hold dearest come courtesy of the fifty-first state: Michael J. Fox, the garbage bag, Trivial Pursuit, the X-Files and now, Carly Rae Jepsen. Now famous for her song, "Call Me Maybe," Jepsen was previous known as the third place winner on the fifth season of Canadian Idol. This honor is much like receiving "Most Improved" in the local church bake-off, but the prize money is lower. Nonetheless, Jepsen has moved forward and, not withstanding the elided comma in her song title, become well-known.
To consider dressing as Carly Rae Jepsen this Halloween, take this true or false test to determine your suitability:
1) You are always carded buying alcohol.
2) You look good in bangs.
3) The last time something slimy got in your hair, it was Noxzema.
4) You can claim with a straight face to be inspired by your own journal.
If you answered true to every question, please continue and plan your Carly Rae Jepsen costume!
Be PSY for Halloween with this Gangnam Style Costume
By South Korean standards, rapper PSY is hard-core. He was once arrested for possession of marijuana and twice drafted into military service. He was even fined by the government for inappropriate content on his album "PSY… from the PSYcho World!" In the United States, though, Gangnam Style appears approximately as tough as a Boot Scootin' Boogie.
However, given the dearth of South Korean sex symbols – it's a showdown between PSY and the Asian MILF guy from "American Pie,"- Gangnam Style is the chance of a lifetime. Described as "breaking the stereotype that K-Pop male singers have to be handsome and dance well," here's one YouTube sensation that will make for a hilarious Halloween costume this year.
Princess Merida Costume Ideas
image by takinawa
A Scottish tale to induce a shiver
Of a princess who wouldn't deliver
Turned her family to bears
To avoid the lewd stares
Of the princes who wanted her quiver.
Regardless of what people say about gingers, Princess Merida has style. Although her judgement and cake-serving abilities are questionable, she makes a great Halloween costume. But do your shopping early: between Katniss from the Hunger Games and Brave's Princess Merida, bows and arrows may be a hot commodity.
Merida's most striking feature is her wild, curly red hair. A high quality wig with realistic hair in this style can be quite expensive, $100 or more, so consider renting a wig at a costume shop. Princess Merida typically wears a modest, dark-colored dress with gold trim. If you have a Quaker aunt, now is the perfect time to borrow her clothes. If not, check your local thrift store or look online on costume sites for a Maid Marian style dress.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - An 11-year-old Florida boy has been abandoned
by his father today at an Omaha hospital, just days before lawmakers are scheduled to meet and change the state's much-criticized safe-haven law.
The boy is the 31st child left under the law since it went into effect in July.
Nebraska was the last state to enact a safe-haven law, which is
intended to protect unwanted newborns from being abandoned. But
unlike other states, Nebraska's law doesn't include an age limit,
leading to a string of dropoffs that has included young children and teenagers but no newborns.
The Legislature opens a rare special session on Friday to change the law and add an age limit.

Brooklyn State Senator Cancels 'Walk Like a Model' Seminar for Sloppy Broads
Marty Golden has some ideas about "the art of feminine presence."
Republican Marty Golden, the only Brooklyn state senator to vote against marriage equality, has some thoughts on gender norms, too. In a planned event called "Posture, Deportment and the Feminine Presence," Golden, with the help of a "certified protocol consultant," promised to help misguided dames find a job by refining their god-given potential: The flier teased lessons in how to "sit, stand and walk like a model" and "walk up and down a stair elegantly," as well as tips on "handshakes and introductions." In response, State Senator Liz Krueger quipped to City & State, "Perhaps this would be appropriate on Mad Men, but not in New York in the 21st century." And following an incredulous online uproar today, the finishing class has been nixed.
"Each year, Senator Golden holds several well received events to provide options to his constituents for personal and business development," his office said in a statement Tuesday afternoon. "Our upcoming event, which we have chosen not to hold, is similar to ones being organized by other elected officials, as well as classes conducted in local high schools. The Senator's support of legislation and programs to help create jobs for all New Yorkers is a matter of public record, and we will be holding future events to assist them in finding and keeping a job."
For now, reruns of Charm School it is, sweethearts.


text: Long-term space missions require reclamation of the oxygen in the carbon dioxide exhaled by the crew. In one method of reclamation, 1.00 mol of carbon dioxide produces 1.00 mol of oxygen and 1.00 mol of methane as a byproduct. The methane is stored in a tank under pressure and is available to control the attitude of the spacecraft by controlled venting. A single astronaut exhales 1.09 kg of carbon dioxide each day. If the methane generated in the respiration recycling of three astronauts during one week of flight is stored in an originally empty 160 L tank at -36.0°C, what is the final pressure in the tank?

We're running a java/hibernate app going against ORACLE 10g in TESTING. Once in a while, we're seeing this error:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
Is there a way to find out which table/view(s) ORACLE is talking about ?
I know that I can add extra levels of logging in hibernate which will show all the SQL that it executes on ORACLE and then run that SQL to figure out which TABLE/VIEW is missing or missing permission. But given that it is in TESTING/STAGING, that will slow down performance.
Is there a simple way to narrow down on the Table/View Name ?
Just so you know, I don't have control over the Oracle DB Server Environment.
I enabled Hibernate tracing/logging and found a VALID SQL. I even put Wireshark(which is a TCP packet filter) to see what hibernate actually sends and that was a valid SQL. So, why would Oracle complain about it once in a while and NOT always.

Skin is the most visible and the largest organ of the body. As one gets older, the skin starts to show wrinkles and fine lines which are actually signs of reduced skin health. For people who are careful with their health and looks, this is a call for action. Skin constantly repairs itself from within, outer layers of skin are constantly scrapped off and new skin is revealed from beneath. This process is controlled primarily by a protein called Collagen. Collagen is the main building material of skin and it is responsible for the health of skin. In infants the process of skin rejuvenation proceeds at faster rates, that is why babies always have healthy and fresh skin. As one gets old, skin rejuvenation slows down and at a certain age the skin starts to show wrinkles and fine lines. Skin also develops dark spots due to slower production rate of Collagen.
Certain skin care products claim to have anti-aging effect on skin. Is this true or it's just another baseless marketing tactic? Skin care cosmetic products and medications are part of the larger cosmetic medicine industry. There is an ever-increasing competition in this market. To rise above the competition, many manufacturers depend only on the marketing tactics rather than improving their products and delivering more value to customers. This creates a perplexing situation for the buyer; quality products become hard to distinguish from a pile of waste.
The term "anti-aging" quickly catches attention because of its seemingly mythical meaning. The term "anti-aging" is a pseudonym actually, it is used in marketing to attractively refer to a product that increases the rate of skin rejuvenation. These products were developed initially as medications for skin ailments. They work by increasing Collagen production, helping to remove dead skin and revealing healthy new skin. The efficacy of many such skin medications is tested and proven clinically. In fact some more potent compositions of these compounds are prescribed as medicine for patients suffering from skin problems by dermatologists.
These anti-aging medicines are based on alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA); a class of chemical compounds with proven medicinal value and harmlessness for human health. Skin care cosmetics which claim to have anti-aging effect are actually less potent variants of alpha-hydroxy acids based compounds. These have a decreased concentration to make their effects on skin less profound, and safe. An example of AHA based skin care products is VIVITÉ skin care range. It is one of the few products which can be used without prescription from doctors. Although "anti-aging" sounds like something fictional, these products do actually work by reversing the changes in skin which occur as results of aging.
As the products haven proven medicinal effects on skin, they are well suited for regular use for lasting results. Cosmetic products like VIVITÉ and a few other alpha-hydroxy acids based regimens are certified safe for everyday use, however higher potency products should not be used without a skin specialist's prescription. Given their therapeutic benefits for skin in any age, they are good for all. In fact their regular use is recommended by dermatologists to keep skin healthy and rejuvenated.

WHITMAN, Mass. (AP) - The family of a Massachusetts man who was killed when the rear axle of his Windstar cracked in half says Ford hasn't done enough to tell owners about the company's recall of the minivans.
Sean Bowman's family told The Associated Press on Wednesday that they received a safety recall notice from Ford in October. That's one week after his vehicle careened into a building.
Ford announced in August it was recalling 575,000 older-model Windstars over concerns the rear axles can corrode and break.
Ford said it is cooperating with government investigators but declined to comment on Bowman's case.
After an inquiry about Bowman's case from AP, Ford said it was expanding its recall - a decision made last month but not previously publicized.

text: Posted February 7, 2013 It is somewhat reassuring that all of the players ranked in the area we are drafting are either OL or DL. We have neglected both of these positions for too long so hopefully we will take the best player available, as long as he is a lineman of some sort. We don't need to reach for another project WR, we need an impact player in the trenches so lets go out and draft one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
