Approaching Phu village
Phu with a hint of the harvest
A bridge with character
Harvest and threshing time
Phu has a gompa and the old rulers place up on the hilltop, and spreads up the opposite hillside
The monks at the main gompa out of the village were friendly and delightful hosts
At the main gompa
looking to the village from teh main gompa
Blue sheep spotted on a day trip from Phu village
Leaving Phu we realized just how well protected the village is, by a real gorge and gates
Phu's summer village, which was also a Khampa village in the 1960's
a glacier peeks over
Gorgeous lighting is sometimes hard to capture
A gompa, I was told, even if it looks like a watchtower
What a gorge! Mahendra Pul, the bridge was constructed on orders by King Mahendra in the 1960's and recently maintained
Chortens are mandala-shaped from above...
A gompa under construction
Approaching Nar village; yaks pulling the plough
Nar Village, and behind the start of the trail to the Kang La
Raining stars on a Nar village lodge
looking back at Nar and their extensive fields
A tea break in a yak hair tent
Lamageiers are not called the bearded vulture for nothing
climbing the Kang La zigzags was tough for our star porters
Our very high Kang La camp is behind the lake
What else would you do with a still lake?
Tempting! Annapurna II and the rock outlier of Annapurna IV
Moonlight bathes the mountains but not our high camp for the Kang La
The earth spins around the Pole Star; Celesta is on the rise, mountains are in the moonlight, the lake in shadow
I slept on top of the Kang La
That is a peak, but what about the overhang?!
Pass prayer flags
zigzagging down the Ngawal side of the Kang La
twin waterfalls in the direction of Chulu East
I love taking night shots
Ngawal spouts - end
Stars over Chulu East
This sweeping rock is an icon of the area and has many names, including Pang Ri
Alas, many houses off the main Annapurna Circuit are abandoned
Ghyaru village and the variously named Pang Ri

Some gorgeous forest below Dhikur Pokhari
Blessings in the forest
Paul admires the glorious sweep
A trail blasted out of the rock
Blasted out of the rock, this section is really impressive
We are walking against the flow on the Annapurna Circuit, luckily only for a day
A Langur monkey just off the busy trail
Gambling at festival time
Lee Ann, Paul and Celesta take a break
Biri, Celesta, Paul, Matthias, Lee Ann and Jamie in Timang (Biri, Paul and Matthias split off the next day)

Re: What you should know about the Dodd-Frank Act
It's one thing to keep your customer data private from OTHERS, but NOT from the customer you are keeping data on. You should have the right to view ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that someone else keeps about you - and that includes doctors and all their "notes." You should have access to ANYthing that is ABOUT YOU! Yes, I think Experion should HAVE to provide ANYthing they have about you, including your credit score, or they should be denied a license as a Credit Reporting Agency. I checked my credit last in 2009 and BOTH of the other (legitimate) CAs showed my credit score as 916, but Experion, because they did not have full information, showed it as 811 - big difference from the other two. Maybe if a lot of people would write to the Attorney General about Experion's unsavory practices, they would get put our of business.

Cross-training is a widely used approach for structuring a training programme to improve competitive performance in a specific sport by training in a variety of sports. Despite numerous anecdotal reports claiming benefits for cross-training, very few scientific studies have investigated this particular type of training. It appears that some transfer of training effects on maximum oxygen uptake (V̇O2max) exists from one mode to another. The nonspecific training effects seem to be more noticeable when running is performed as a cross-training mode. Swim training, however, may result in minimum transfer of training effects on V̇O2max. Cross-training effects never exceed those induced by the sport-specific training mode. The principles of specificity of training tend to have greater significance, especially for highly trained athletes. For the general population, cross-training may be highly beneficial in terms of overall fitness. Similarly, cross-training may be an appropriate supplement during rehabilitation periods from physical injury and during periods of overtraining or psychological fatigue.

Top Rank, Cotto carve out a tradition
If you're a baseball fan, you know there is a World Series to look forward to each October. In college basketball, there's March Madness. The first Saturday in May is the Kentucky Derby in horse racing. Most sports have a traditional time of year for their biggest events.
In boxing, there is no offseason and no centralized authority to schedule events. Big fights can happen just about any time of year. It all depends on what event promoters decide to try to put together for their fighters.
Although it is common for there to be some sort of big Hispanic-themed card in Las Vegas around the time of Mexican Independence Day in mid-September, and to a lesser extent a notable Las Vegas card in early May on Cinco De Mayo weekend, what about the rest of the country? Or a different nationality?
Bob Arum's Top Rank, which has been promoting fights for 43 years and certainly has done its share of those May and September cards, has been developing a tradition the past few years of having a major card at New York's Madison Square Garden in mid-June on the eve of the annual National Puerto Rican Day Parade.
What began as just a way of linking one of its top stars, Puerto Rico's Miguel Cotto, to a weekend when many of his countrymen would be looking for entertainment options has become one of the centerpieces of the weekend and a weekend for boxing fans to circle on the calendar.
"It just made sense," Arum said. "Miguel wasn't as big then [when the tradition started in 2005] as he is now and Puerto Ricans were coming up from San Juan to New York and it made all the sense in the world."Top Rank and Cotto will invade the Garden yet again on June 13 (HBO, 10:35 p.m. ET, free preview weekend) when Cotto (33-1, 27 KOs) defends his welterweight belt against former titleholder Joshua Clottey (35-2, 20 KOs), who gave up an alphabet title to make the fight possible.
Cotto enjoys being part of the parade weekend.
"It means a lot to me. I am a big fan of Puerto Rican weekend there in New York, and to be a part of that would mean a lot for any person," Cotto said from his training camp in Tampa. "Now, in my career, it is like a tradition. Every year fighting in front of thousands of Puerto Rican people at Madison Square Garden means a lot to me."
The idea to tie Cotto to the Puerto Rican parade weekend was the brainchild of Todd duBoef, president of Top Rank and Arum's stepson.

Oscar De La Hoya, above, proved to be a ticket seller on Mexican Independence Day weekend.
"The revelation came largely from kind of applying the Las Vegas model of Mexican Independence Day weekend in September," duBoef said. "The Las Vegas casinos look at that weekend as a big weekend for the hotels and fights. We had been promoting shows on Mexican Independence Day weekend with Oscar [De La Hoya]. Julio Cesar Chavez had gone a couple of times on that weekend, and they were big successes. After Chavez, we jumped on those dates for Oscar."
In 2000, Top Rank signed several members of the Puerto Rican Olympic team, including Cotto and Ivan "Iron Boy" Calderon, who also will be on the card.
DuBoef said that after he made the commitment to get involved with several Puerto Rican prospects, it was a "natural symbiosis with the Puerto Ricans in New York in June, when they have their big weekend, and the Mexicans in Las Vegas in September. So I said why don't we try putting an event on the Puerto Rican parade weekend? That was the genesis of it."
It has worked like a charm.
Next weekend's fight will be Cotto's sixth appearance at Madison Square Garden -- four of which will have come on the eve of the parade, which is a huge cultural event for New York's large Puerto Rican population as well as thousands who head north from the Caribbean island to celebrate.
The first time Cotto fought on parade weekend, as well as his first time fighting at the Garden, came in 2005, when he made his third junior welterweight defense against Mohamad Abdulaev, the 2000 Olympic gold medalist who had eliminated Cotto in his opening match in Sydney. He drew 10,231.
In 2006, Cotto again defended his 140-pound title, this time against New Yorker Paulie Malignaggi in an exciting fight, and drew 14,365.
When Cotto defended his welterweight belt in 2007 against another New Yorker, Zab Judah, in one of the fights of the year, it drew a record crowd of 20,658.
Cotto went west last summer to fight Antonio Margarito in July in Las Vegas but is returning to his now-traditional weekend and venue to face Clottey, a Ghana native living in the Bronx.
Clearly, Top Rank is on to something with its development of a big show on the second weekend of June because Arum said the fight already has sold about 14,000 tickets.
The weekend has become one when Puerto Rican fighters aspire to box.
Calderon (32-0, 6 KOs), a former long-reigning strawweight champion and now the junior flyweight champion, had wanted to fight on the Puerto Rican parade card for several years, but it never worked out until this year. He'll defend the 108-pound championship against Rodel Mayol (25-3, 19 KOs) of the Philippines in the chief supporting bout, although it won't be part of the HBO telecast.
You can tell how pumped Calderon is just listening to him talk about his spot on the card.
"It has been my dream to fight at Madison Square Garden with Miguel Cotto," Calderon said. "I had never been able to fight at Madison Square Garden or on the weekend of the Puerto Rican parade. People are always asking to see me fight there on that weekend. This year, I get to."
Top Rank plans to continue the tradition long after Cotto and Calderon retire.
"What this means is, you make it a full weekend for the Puerto Ricans who live in New York and the thousands that come into New York for the parade," Arum said. "This just adds having a big fight at Madison Square Garden with a prominent fighter to the festivities. It's something that we like doing and the Garden likes doing and we hope to be doing it for years to come, not only with Miguel but with the other Puerto Rican fighters that are being developed."
Fight falls in Malignaggi's lap
This past weekend, former junior welterweight titlist Paulie Malignaggi was down after Mike Alvarado withdrew from their June 27 fight on Top Rank's pay-per-view card. But things change fast in boxing, and a few days later, Malignaggi felt good again because another fight, one that is higher-profile and more lucrative, fell in his lap.
Golden Boy Promotions' Eric Gomez, hunting for an opponent to face former lightweight titleholder Juan Diaz on HBO in the main event of a "Boxing After Dark" tripleheader Aug. 22, called Malignaggi promoter Lou DiBella to inquire about their interest in the fight, which HBO already has approved. The parties have been negotiating the deal for the past few days.

Paulie Malignaggi, left, wants to be remembered for something other than a humiliating loss to Ricky Hatton.
"I was excited about the opportunity to fight on the Top Rank pay-per-view," Malignaggi told ESPN.com. "The Hatton fight left a bad taste in my mouth. I'm in a rush to show people what I'm about, that I'm not finished. I'm only 28, and I still have a lot to give."
Now, he hopes to show it against Diaz (34-2, 17 KOs), who was knocked out in his hometown of Houston in the ninth round by Juan Manuel Marquez on Feb. 28.
"A fight with Diaz gives me another opportunity against a top opponent," the New Yorker said. "We're both coming off big losses in big fights, so it's like an elimination. He needs to win or it's three losses in four fights. And I can't afford to lose a fight like this, either."
Diaz would have to come up from 135 pounds and get close to the 140-pound junior welterweight limit. Malignaggi said he can do the fight at 139.
"I would like maybe 139. If I could make 135 pounds, I'd be fighting at 135," he said.
Malignaggi also said he is willing to go to Houston, where Golden Boy plans to put on the fight.
"I would just like a situation with the fairest shake possible," Malignaggi said, noting that because neither of them is a big puncher, the fight likely will go to the scorecards. "I feel like I can beat Diaz. No disrespect to him. He's a quality fighter, a champion and a warrior. I'm glad it fell in my lap. It will bring out the best in both of us. I'm really grateful to HBO. I didn't have a great performance against Hatton, but I will put on a great show on my end, and Juan Diaz is never in a bad fight."
Said DiBella, "It's a good matchup. We prefer the fight outside of Houston, but as long as the money is fair, Paulie will go there. It's a great opportunity. It's a bigger opportunity than the Alvarado fight."
Malignaggi returned from the loss to Hatton on April 25 to win a lopsided decision against Chris Fernandez on the Carl Froch-Jermain Taylor undercard.

• The light heavyweight rematch between Chad Dawson and former champ Glen Johnson has been agreed to in principle, Johnson co-promoter Lou DiBella told ESPN.com. DiBella, co-promoter Leon Margules of Seminole Warriors Boxing and Dawson promoter Gary Shaw were together last week at the HBO card in Hollywood, Fla., where they all had fighters on the show. They were able to meet in person and iron things out. "I have a draft of a contract. We reached an agreement, but now we are putting that agreement on paper," DiBella said. "I am also waiting for Gary to tell us the date, but he's waiting for HBO to tell him the date." The bout is likely to take place in November, although September is also a possibility. Dawson edged Johnson in a highly competitive slugfest in April 2008. Dawson opted to dump his sanctioning organization belt to make the rematch rather than accept far less money for a lesser fight with obscure mandatory challenger Tavoris Cloud.
• Kermit Cintron's decision victory against Alfredo Angulo last Saturday earned him a mandatory rematch with junior middleweight titleholder Sergio Martinez, who dominated Cintron in February despite receiving a controversial draw and having a knockout victory overturned. However, that is not the only title opportunity Cintron has. Fellow junior middleweight titleholder Cory Spinks, who is looking for a notable fight, said he was so impressed with Cintron's performance that he wants to offer him a crack at his belt. "I think it would be a great match up with myself and Cintron after his big win over Angulo," Spinks said, adding that he feels like "Spinks vs. Cintron would be al lot more attractive than a Martinez vs. Cintron rematch."
• George Foreman III, one of the five sons of former two-time heavyweight champion George Foreman who are all named George, will make his professional debut on Saturday night in a four-rounder at the Coushatta Casino Resort in Kinder, La. Foreman, 26, who goes by his nickname "Monk," will fight Clyde Weaver (0-1) in a four-rounder that is part of a 10-fight card. But Foreman's is the most notable given his bloodlines and that fact that his father is scheduled to be ringside. Foreman, a 6-foot-5, 240-pounder and Rice University graduate, had no amateur experience, but has been training since 2007 in anticipation of fighting professionally. His older sister, Freeda Foreman (5-1, 3 KOs), had a brief professional career from 2000 to 2001.
• After David Haye fell out a June 20 heavyweight title fight with Wladimir Klitschko, the hunt was on for a potential replacement since Klitschko still intends to fight somebody. Shelly Finkel, Klitschko's adviser, called Main Events' Kathy Duva on Wednesday to gauge the interest of cruiserweight champion Tomasz Adamek stepping in on short notice if Finkel consulted with their side and had interest in the fight. Finkel's call came, ironically, just as Duva and Adamek were about to begin a news conference to formally announce Adamek's July 11 defense against Bobby Gunn. "The call came a bit late," Duva told ESPN.com. "But I said, 'Well, I guess I need to tell Tomasz about this,' so I told him. He was smiling but we had to tell him we were serious. He said not on two weeks' notice. It was just funny because we were literally walking up to the dais when I got the call. He said maybe someday because someday he'd like to move to heavyweight. I took the interest to be a wonderful thing. If the opportunity comes now, it will come again."
• Top Rank's Filipino-themed pay-per-view card originally scheduled for Aug. 22 has been moved to Aug. 15 in Las Vegas, Top Rank president Todd duBoef told ESPN.com. Flyweight titlist Nonito Donaire will be on the card as will featherweight titlist Steven Luevano, who will defend against Bernabe Concepcion in a rescheduled match. They were supposed to fight May 2 on the Manny Pacquiao-Ricky Hatton undercard, but Luevano was injured and postponed the match. Luevano manager Cameron Dunkin, who also manages Donaire, said Luevano was healthy and would be ready. Another televised bout likely will include junior welterweight Mark Melligen, a Filipino prospect Top Rank recently signed. Ex-junior welterweight titlist Kendall Holt is also supposed to fight, although not necessarily on the televised portion, in his first bout since losing his belt to Tim Bradley in April. Junior flyweight Brian Viloria was slated to defend on the card, but his bout probably will go to another date and take place in the Philippines, where one of the major networks is interested in featuring him.
• Junior bantamweight titlist Jose "Carita" Lopez is still slated to make his first defense on the Floyd Mayweather-Juan Manuel Marquez HBO PPV undercard on July 18, but it won't be against the Philippines' A.J. Banal as originally planned. Golden Boy was drafting the contract when it was informed that Banal would be unable to make 115 pounds. "Banal's people hadn't checked with their fighter if he could make the weight. Turns out he couldn't, so the fight isn't happening," Golden Boy matchmaker Eric Gomez told ESPN.com. So to replace Banal, Gomez is working to finalize a match between Lopez and southpaw Marvin Sonsona (13-0, 12 KOs), who is from General Santos City in the Philippines, Manny Pacquiao's hometown.
• Junior middleweight Yuri Foreman's title elimination bout with Cornelius "K9" Bundrage will replace the Mike Alvarado-Paulie Malignaggi bout originally scheduled to be part of Top Rank's June 27 pay-per-view card in Atlantic City, N.J., Top Rank matchmaker Brad Goodman told ESPN.com. Alvarado-Malignaggi was called off because of an Alvarado injury. Foreman and Bundrage, who will meet for a the right to challenge titlist Cory Spinks, were originally going to fight on Top Rank's August pay-per-view card in Las Vegas in a fight that would have taken place after that PPV show went off the air. The reason: Foreman observes the Jewish Sabbath and doesn't fight until after sundown on Saturdays. By moving the fight to June 27, Foreman can observe the Sabbath and fight on the televised part of the show because it will take place after sundown.
• Although Juan Urango was soundly outpointed by welterweight titlist Andre Berto last Saturday, he still holds a junior welterweight belt. Urango (21-2-1, 16 KOs) moved up for the shot at Berto and, having lost, intends to return to 140 pounds to defend his title. He has a mandatory defense due against ex-titlist Randall Bailey (39-6, 35 KOs), who erased Frankie Figueroa with a spectacular fourth-round knockout in April to get the mandatory shot. Bailey promoter Lou DiBella told ESPN.com that the fight has been ordered by the IBF. "We were informed that we have to begin negotiations," DiBella said. The fight would have to take place by mid-October.
• Junior lightweight contender Robert Guerrero (23-1-1, 16 KOs), a two-time featherweight titleholder, is looking for a new opponent for his ESPN2 fight June 12 in his hometown of San Jose, Calif. Johnnie Edwards withdrew this week, citing a back injury, Golden Boy matchmaker Eric Gomez told ESPN.com. Guerrero, training at the Glendale Fight Club in South California, will be fighting for the first time since a second-round no contest March 7 against Daud Yordan in which Guerrero took a lot of heat for quitting because of a cut from an accidental head butt, which resulted in the no contest. He's trying to put that fight behind him. "Training camp is always rough," he said. "It's the total sacrifice to leave your family for six weeks. I feel great and I'm happy that I'm getting great sparring. Every day that I'm out here I keep thinking about the sacrifices I'm making and it's getting me extremely hungry to get back to the ring. Everyone watching will know that I'm one of the best fighters in the world come fight night. I'm coming to make a statement." A victory could propel Guerrero into an Aug. 22 HBO fight.
• Former junior featherweight titlist Steve Molitor (28-1, 11 KOs), who lost his title via fourth-round knockout to Celestino Caballero in a November unification fight, will have a new trainer in his corner for his June 26 return against Heriberto Ruiz (41-7-2, 23 KOs) in Rama, Ontario. After two fights with Montreal-based Stephane Larouche, Molitor decided to train closer to home and will be trained by Billy Martin of Brampton, Ontario. "I've trained on the side with Billy before, and I know we work well together," Molitor said. "And as a new father this is a chance to stay close to home and train for a fight at the same time."
"When Chris John and I fought on Feb. 28 it ended in a draw. It was a good, tough fight and Chris John is tough fighter. If Chris John thinks the fight on Feb. 28 was tough, he better be ready, because this fight is going to be harder." -- featherweight contender Rocky Juarez, on his title rematch with John on June 27 (HBO).
"I am very disappointed that the fight got cancelled. I've been in training camp for weeks. I am in top condition and I was really looking forward to fight night. I don't want to disappoint the fans and I am willing to fight a different opponent." -- unified heavyweight titleholder Wladimir Klitschko, reacting to Wednesday's news that injured David Haye had pulled out of their June 20 fight.

I just connected my brand new Vista 64 bits machine to the Internet and downloaded Windows updates to install.
Downloading went fine, but installation seems to be stuck at the first item, "Internet Explorer 8 for Windows Vista for x64 - based Systems". It's been for nearly one hour now in the "Installing update 1 of 44" state.
What's up ? Yet another joke for Microsoft ? Are they trying to set hooks and hooks deep and large in my system so that I can never, ever uninstall IE8 should I want to ? What a bad way to greet "new" customers like me.
More to the point: what should I do, what can I do ?
- Is there a chance the installation will succeed, and after how much time ? (Google told me other users have had the same problem, but with other MS OSes)
- Do I dare click "stop installation" if I don't want to wait ? (I want to go out, and I'm afraid my computer may go asleep, because -- other problem -- last time it went to sleep I couldn't wake it up properly)

GAME BYTES: The Xbox One still has lots of secrets
Published: Friday, May 31, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 30, 2013 at 10:26 p.m.
The week that followed Microsoft's reveal of the Xbox One console was pretty interesting, I thought, as MS went back and forth on what exactly the console will do regarding used games and its online connection and the Kinect camera that supposedly never turns off. Really, the thing seems pretty anti-consumer, but Microsoft spokespeople keep insisting that it's not as bad as it sounds, without actually saying what's really going on. Let's go over what we know so far about the potentially more troubling aspects of the new console.
First, there's the used game thing. At the Xbox One announcement event, Microsoft corporate VP Don Mattrick said that even in games that have no online functions whatsoever, you will need to connect the Xbox One to the Internet at least once every 24 hours.
Microsoft has walked back that statement, declaring only that the Xbox One is not an always-online console, but it will require an Internet connection.
What nobody has addressed, though, is how requiring you to be online at any point will benefit your experience playing a completely solo game. Because they haven't addressed that, it's clear that an online requirement is not about benefiting the consumer, but rather so Microsoft can exact more control over how the consumer uses it.
Which leads into the used game thing. You will be able to purchase Xbox One games at retail, just as you always have with console games. But these disc copies, when you insert them into the console, will transfer the game data onto the hard drive and play from there. After the data is copied, you won't need the disc anymore, because retail copies will include a one-time-use code that locks the title to your Xbox Live ID, presumable allowing you access to a download of that game, as with Steamworks or Blizzard PC titles.
This understandably makes us wonder what the point of the disc is, really, then, as presumably it will be useless without the bundled code, as has been the case with most physical copies of PC games for some time now. Mattrick also said at the reveal event that if you install the game data from a disc to a console without the Xbox Live ID that the bundled code is bound to, then you will have to pay full retail price to have access to it.
That statement was also walked back, with Microsoft insisting again that Xbox One is designed to allow consumers to trade in or sell physical copies of games at retail, but they didn't explain how that worked.
I'm guessing that they scrambled to come up with some PR-speak after it was apparent that so many longtime Xbox fans were pissed about this and were considering skipping this console. The system as described by Mattrick is so restrictive as to prevent folks from even loaning games to their friends, so it's no surprise people were mad. Even so, those concerns have not really been addressed at all.
And then there's the Kinect. Even when you turn off the Xbox One, it's not really off, because you can say "Xbox, on" to the Kinect and it will turn the system on. And so the Kinect, which is a camera, is always listening.
Microsoft claims they will have extensive privacy options, some of which will even allow you to power down the system and Kinect completely without unplugging it, but the fact that these will be privacy "options" rather than privacy "statements" means Microsoft does have potentially nefarious, self-serving plans to collect data on you with the Kinect sensor. So if you do end up buying an Xbox One, looking into those privacy options, which will likely be set to the most invasive possibilities by default, should be first priority upon turning the thing on.
That Microsoft has done a poor job of communicating much of anything on these issues probably means it was surprised the announcement received so much backlash, and so it's going back to the drawing board to alter plans into something hopefully more palatable, so the new system launch doesn't bomb. Sony, on the other hand, has smartly not even hinted at the type of restrictions Mattrick sort of flippantly described on the PS4, and so it gets to look like the good guy while undoubtedly also scrambling to change whatever Big Brother-esque schemes planned for the competing system.
But nobody is the good guy here, I say, until we know exactly what's going on with these new systems.

Obesity in Pets
Obesity is the most common nutrition-related health condition in pets today. A pet becomes overweight when it regularly consumes more calories than it burns off. This is caused from a number of things i.e. lack of exercise, free-feeding, treats in excess, and fulfilling the"beggars" need during dinner time, or any time for that matter. As always, we recommend having a Veterinarian review your pet for any medical causes of the symptoms or any additional concerns that may be affecting your pets well-being. Obesity can lead to many additional health risks that will ultimately result in a shorter lifespan and less energy and ability to combat the increasing symptoms as a result. It is much easier to prevent these increased concerns by keeping your pet on a measured amount of food rather than "free feeding" as well as ensuring regular exercise. Exercise will not only decrease the chances of obesity related concerns, but also increase alertness and ability to better adapt to the stresses of everyday life.
Common Symptoms:
Besides the obvious signs of obesity (extreme weight gain and lack of
defined musculature and body profile), pets suffering from obesity can
develop difficulty
Next Steps:
Ultra premium Foods are distinct mainly by the high standards placed on their
ingredients. All ultra premium foods are made from 100% Human Grade ingredients and
contain absolutely no "Bi-products" or fillers that are often high in carbohydrates and fat.
"Bi-products" is a loose label that can include many undesirable meat sources that can
change between bags of the same type of food. Also, Ultra Premium Foods avoid fillers
that have no nutritional value and are often high in fat and carbohydrates. Please ask a
Muttropolis associate for more information on the importance of Ultra Premium Foods.
Premium Food will guarantee that your pet is not overeating and only consuming the
amount of food to sustain their energy throughout the day. Ultra Premium Foods are
packed with the necessary balanced nutrition, so ultimately you will feed less food,

I am looking to take a central address book in MySQL and share it with users on the network who use Outlook. What do I need to make this happen?
I'm not sure if Outlook would support an ODBC-type connection native to mysql for its address book. I do know that it does support LDAP, though, so you could write a simple script to periodically sync your mysql data over to an openldap server and then point your outlook clients there.
At the moment I am not aware of any canned solutions that would allow this. I believe what you will need is a programmer.
Don't know if it's actually any good, but i found this: http://www.geniusconnect.com/articles/GeniusConnect/2/3/2/ which claims to do what you want

Sounds a bit like MB339 Ping Pong http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/msn/teeth_smile.gif
I was not aware that this was forum or indeed thread belonged to Modelbau/Henry. I thought these boards were in the public domain for members to post on. I am quite sure I am correct in that view
For anyone thinking of buying this plane there is now an alternative source of the F86 Dog Saber available in the UK. I am not sure where this one is made but it is not I think made by Modelbau....
Regardless of what the person selling this plane says. There are several problems with it that will need to be sorted out.(These are all doable but do need work). This model is not sold/made anymore...
I would agree it is very poor again as it has been in the past. I think it needs a little investment in time or money or indeed both
That looks nice sort of a cross between a Couger and a Harrier sort of in looks.
That size of engine would not interest me as it is far too big in my opinion. I would prefer somthing smaller than the K80 both is size and thrust
The Merlin 35 is a development of the Sprite engine which I have seen fly many times. It puts out a lot of thrust, Considerably more than the P20
I have one of the tanks from the sports kit (The one you have to make up yourself) if anyone would like to make me an offer to buy it
There are a couple of threads here on this particular MB339 in particular you need to read about the wing fixing as one person had their plane fall apart in the air. Just a heads up
Generally there looks like there have been a few problems with this jet. Nothing major it would apear but I was wondering if people generally think that itt is worth the money
Looks very nice and like it will be rather fast
Steer clear I recon
Man all you are ever doing is trying to sell stuff. If you read the site rules this is not what these forums are for. Are you sure the Tornado tanks will fit the falcon. I thought they were different...
I dont know how large your jet is but why are you complicating things. Set it up the conventional way with receiver and Servos and battery. Or use 2 receivers and two batteries. Simple is best in my...
I quite agree. No need to start dissing anyone
Who are you trying to convince me or yourself.
I understood that it only puts out about 25mw as opposed to the normal 100 mw in the UK and 1000 mw in the US. I am sure I read this in the modelbau USA thread somewhere
Why is that then dont you understand. If brains were taxed you would get a rebate
As someone said earlier. You started it
People said that about Hitler . Then look what happened
100 m dont seem enough to me to either take off or land with one of the planes mentioned
Why do you think that flaps are a critical control surface. I would have said that flaps are the least critical control we have on our jets. Heck many people fly many planes and never use flaps at...

Couldn't be any closer to a subway station, there was one literally across the street. The bar at the hostel is a legit bar, like people from everywhere go there, it's not just a hostel bar, which makes it a little crowded but also very fun. Lots of security! Had to use my room keys to enter a lot of doors, and it made me feel really safe. "

A youthful line-up worked hard for their chances, but was unable to make up the gulf in class between them and a side packed full of established international players.
A goal from Michael Bradley – the only American on the pitch – set Roma on their way on the hour mark, and Alessandro Florenzi doubled his side's advantage six minutes later.
Despite a consolation goal from Charlie Adam, Liverpool were unable to threaten during the closing stages, and must now hope their captain Steven Gerrard does, as expected, return in time for their Europa League qualifier against eastern European opposition next week.
The scoreline was perhaps harsh on Liverpool. After all, a youthful forward line of Raheem Sterling and Nathan Eccleston was hardly likely to intimidate Zdenek Zeman's men in the same manner as one containing Olympics-bound Luis Suarez, or Andy Carroll.
After being made to pay for their narrow passage of play, thanks to the expertise of Rodrigo Taddei, Francesco Totti and Miralem Pjanic, Liverpool finally got themselves into the game after half an hour, at which point Alberto Aquilani and Joe Cole – two men desperate to resurrect their Liverpool careers under the new boss – combined, with Cole chipping his shot over the head of Bogdan Lobont and onto the bar.
Liverpool had Hungarian goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi to thank for keeping them in the game as he saved from Pablo Osvaldo, Nico Lopez and Panagiotis Tachtsidis, but his replacement Brad Jones was less fortunate after coming on at half-time.
With only Daniel Agger, Lucas and Adam adding first-team experience to Jones's after the break, it was little surprise that Liverpool's youthful side was gradually beaten down.
Erik Lamela, the standout player in the second half for Roma, threaded a neat through-ball to Bradley, and the US international, who flattered to deceive during a loan spell with Aston Villa 18 months ago, angled his low drive across the body of substitute goalkeeper Brad Jones.
And Lamela was again instrumental in Roma's second as the Argentinian latched onto a pass from Aleandro Rosi and deftly flicked the ball to his right to set up youngster Alessandro Florenzi's finish from 10 yards.
Liverpool's response, especially after the lively Jonjo Shelvey departed the play, was not swift, but came after 10 minutes of progressively keeping the ball with greater confidence. Robbie Flanagan overhit a cross that was carefully controlled by Daniel Pacheco and laid off for Adam, who blasted his shot low and hard into the far corner.

Arctic Meltdown
The Economic and Security Implications of Global Warming
The Arctic Ocean is melting, and it is melting fast. This past summer, the area covered by sea ice shrank by more than one million square miles, reducing the Arctic icecap to only half the size it was 50 years ago. For the first time, the Northwest Passage -- a fabled sea route to Asia that European explorers sought in vain for centuries -- opened for shipping. Even if the international community manages to slow the pace of climate change immediately and dramatically, a certain amount of warming is irreversible. It is no longer a matter of if, but when, the Arctic Ocean will open to regular marine transportation and exploration of its lucrative natural-resource deposits.
Global warming has given birth to a new scramble for territory and resources among the five Arctic powers. Russia was the first to stake its claim in this great Arctic gold rush, in 2001. Moscow submitted a claim to the United Nations for 460,000 square miles of resource-rich Arctic waters, an area roughly the size of the states of California, Indiana, and Texas combined. The UN rejected this ambitious annexation, but last August the Kremlin nevertheless dispatched a nuclear-powered icebreaker and two submarines to plant its flag on the North Pole's sea floor. Days later, the Russians provocatively ordered strategic bomber flights over the Arctic Ocean for the first time since the Cold War. Not to be outdone, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced funding for new Arctic naval patrol vessels, a new deep-water port, and a

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - The father of the Semmes woman struck and killed as she walked along a road in northwest Mobile County is offering $25,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the driver of the van that struck her.
According to 52-year-old Saeid Malahnejad who owns an International House of Pancakes restaurant in Hattiesburg, Miss., his daughter, 27-year-old Nazanene Malahnejad, was working at an IHOP restaurant in the Mobile area.
He said Malahnejad was living with her mother, his former wife, in the Semmes area.
State Trooper spokesman Cpl. Joe Piggott said she was struck about 8:30 p.m. Sunday as she walked along Lott Road near Spice Pond Road.
Malahnejad died early Monday around 4 a.m. at the University of South Alabama Medical Center.

We had a pretty good experience at the Super 8 in Red Wing. We went during a slow time and they gave us a nicer room than we paid for. The staff was very nice and helpful. Our room and the rest of the building was very clean. We did not smell any smoke in the hotel. The breakfast was decent. They did have some fruit and yogurt along with cereal, sweet rolls, etc. Our room did have a funny smell that was unaccounted for. Also, we did not put the Do Not Disturb sign on our door and house keeping walked right into the room without knocking in the morning. There is a train track near, but it did not disturb us since we live near one.

Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Feature
Sean Michaels portrays a dedicated social worker with unconventional methods of getting dropout gang members off the streets. He discovers that these street people spend 90% of their time thinking about sex, so he handpicks a dozen of them to participate in a group grope that is intended to alleviate sexual tensions and result in potentially more productive social activities. Whether this works is never revealed, but the wild orgy scene a the end features 13 performers going at each other like a berserk carwash pounding away to rap music! Wonderful sex.
Stunning Nina Hartley and chesty Charisma steal the show. They are proof that porn performers can often realistically act better than many professionals. This is primarily an interracial vid, but it should appeal to all adult aficionados with its broad range of sexual activities.

Hi there!
I am desperately trying to customize a header using the Hybrid template. I know Hybrid has a forum of its own, but sadly, I cannot afford to sign up for the exclusive membership. I've been Googl'ing, reading these forums, and doing some trial-and-error'ing all night.
So, I'm trying to get a site navigation going in the header of the site. There are 8 graphics involved, each linking to a different part of my site.
From what I can find, I would set this up in the header.php file, but no matter what I add in the <div=header> </div> area, it won't show up on the site. I also read some forums replies that said I should add it to the end of my style.css file, but that didn't help either!
I'm absolutely desperate for help! I need to finish this website this weekend, and will go without sleep, food, whatever it takes to finish it! :P

The brother of Shahbaz Bhatti, a government minister who was killed by terrorists for opposing the controversial blasphemy laws in Pakistan, told the U.K. parliament that his country finally appears to be moving toward religious freedom.
The people of Pakistan have seen enough religiously-motivated violence that has killed an estimated 60,000 people in 20 years, and now want tolerance, Paul Bhatti, whose brother was killed in 2011, told the parliament last week, according to Catholic Herald.
"We are still facing the cruel and harsh realities of violence against the weak and voiceless people of our community," but there is improvement, he was quoted as saying. more >>
A Pakistani Christian family has been forced to flee from home and is now in hiding after the family's eight-year-old daughter was beaten and locked inside of her school's bathroom for hours after she allegedly used a toilet designated for Muslims.
The British Pakistani Christian Association, a London-based humanitarian organization, reports that Sara Bibi, the youngest of five siblings, was expelled from the Government's Girls School in Samundari area of the Punjab province after she was accused of using the same toilet that her Muslim classmates use.
While a common mentality displayed in the Pakistani Muslim community is that Christians are "unclean," Bibi's classmates accused her of "polluting" their toilet. After her classmates informed the school's headmistress, Zahida Rana, that Bibi used the Muslim toilet, Bibi was verbally scolded and abused by the headmistress. more >>
A 13-year-old Christian girl from Sikandarpura in Pakistan has reportedly been kidnapped from her parents, raped, and forced into marriage by a Muslim man.
The British Pakistani Christian Association reported on Monday that 47-year-old father Shahid Jaan reported last week that his 13-year-old daughter, Sana Bibi, had been abducted, raped and forced into Islamic marriage.
The Muslim man accused of kidnapping the girl was identified as Waheed Akhtar, a former neighbor. more >>
One year after the burning deaths of a Pakistani Christian couple for their alleged desecration of a Quran, fear still runs rampant within Christian communities of Punjab province since no assailants of the crime have been convicted and the vast majority remain at-large.
In November of last year, Shama and Shahzad Masih, a married couple with four children living in a community near Lahore, were attacked and murdered by a Muslim mob after witnesses claimed they found pages of the Quran in their trash.
On the anniversary of the murders, many within the community have expressed frustration with local officials regarding the progress of the investigation — or lack thereof. more >>
Muslim men who gangraped two teenage Pakistani Christian sisters at gunpoint last year have been acquitted of their charges by a Pakistani court after a key witness was bribed into changing his testimony.
During the middle of the night on Nov. 28, 2014, sisters Sherish and Farzana went outside of their home in the village of Jaranwala in the Punjab province to use the bathroom since their home did not have inside plumbing. The two girls did not return home that night and were found the next morning lying unconscious along the side of the road several miles from their home.
After the girls were taken to the hospital, they told police that a well-known Muslim landlord, Muhammad Shabaz, and other Muslim men had abducted them at gunpoint and raped them repeatedly throughout the night. more >>
Christian and human rights activists have hailed Pakistan's Supreme Court decision that the nation's notorious blasphemy laws, which have been used to target religious minorities, can be reformed.
"The court's judgment has provided hope to many that Pakistan may actually be able to reform its notorious blasphemy law. For many years, reform to the blasphemy laws was thought to be impossible because of the influence and fear of religious extremist groups in Pakistan. This recent judgement has opened the door for reform," said International Christian Concern's Regional Manager for South Asia, William Stark.
"Now, Pakistan as a society must take the next steps to walk through it. Christians and other religious minorities in Pakistan have historically suffered under the country's blasphemy laws. Disproportionately accused and convicted with little to no evidence, the call for adequate safeguards against false accusations is truly a step in the right direction," Stark added. more >>

The author gives numerous examples of successful companies which employ similar tactics such as etsy, craigslist, and Amazon. He describes various reasons why these tactics work.
The author certainly elaborates on enough strategies that make Google and others like Google online successes; however, the text drags on endlessly and in a somewhat unorganized fashion that I felt he was verbally vomiting. It was like reading an endless blog instead of a book. If found myself repeatedly asking these two questions:
1. What did I just read?
2. What information did I get out of reading this?
In summary, a person who is thinking of embarking on a net presence will probably find that there's enough material in this book to guide them into doing what Google does. However, since the text rambles on, that person will have to jot down important details as he or she reads in order to remember it. If the book were better organized, more concise and definitive in its evaluation of what Google and others like Google do, and had a clearer table of contents (chapter headings), I would have rated it four stars.
Jarvis seeks to show how Google is the Future, but this gets lost in all his self-promotion and name dropping about his Davos luncheons. Not all of that is bad; his own struggle to get a laptop that works (and the ensuing, minor media racket he was able to generate) provide some good fodder for business and life lessons. One of which ("...your customer is your brand") is even quite profound.
But there is always a but. To get to these nuggets, you have to bushwhack through Jarvis' prose tic of coining absurd neologisms ("Googlethink", "Googlejuice", more and worse to come) and his inane triumphalism. In the introduction, Jarvis sets this tone by writing "We begin by examining the new power structure of the economy and society, where we, the people, are suddenly in charge--empowered by Google".
On the face of it alone, this notion is outrageous. Our Ourubian economy's slide is nothing less than a ratification of "old power structures" at work, regardless of where you're sitting. Even if you're at lunch with Jarvis at Davos.
Jarvis has the stuff in here to have written a short book about Google, without the silly, technorati zeal ("At Google, we are God and our data is the Bible...") and the reliance on old, worn out cliches about how Google's dominance presages "Geeks...coming to rule the culture" which constantly undercut Jarvis' allegations of "old models" being upturned.Read more ›
First, let's be clear. Google is not open by any stretch of the imagination. You can't get a 2-3 year view into their product roadmap. Google's data centers are top secret. If they're so open, why not let people tour them like Miller does its breweries or Boeing it airplane manufacturing plant? I, for one, would love to tour their facility. It'd be fascinating (geeks rule!). Second, Google doesn't implement everything its users want. GMail users have asked for custom folders to organize their email but instead get categories. Why isn't the customer's feedback taken into consideration? Every other mail provider allows for this. Lastly, their beta programs never seem to end. Beta programs, by definition, let users give feedback but they're also unsupported. "We lost your mail? Sorry, that's a beta." If the folks in Detroit rolled all of their cars off of the assembly line with a "beta" lable people could be killed. Thanks, but no thanks. Some of the cars coming from Detroit may not be award-winning but at least they are well tested and safe.
Certainly, the automobile manufacturers as well as all industries could benefit from the feedback loop that instrumentation allows. Unfortunately, they don't have the connectivity to each car that Google and other high tech companies are beneficiaries. Google knows where people click, how long they stay on a page, etc.Read more ›
Before answering, read on. "Owning pipelines, people, products, or even intellectual property is no longer the key to success - openness is." Oh, oh - sounds like Enron a few years ago. [...] Then, its "middlemen are doomed" - tell that to a truck driver taking load after load to warehouses. (Yes, I know the Internet will force real estate agents to greatly cut their commissions, but it won't eliminate them. Somebody has to verify a home's specifics, the financing, etc.)
Jarvis then forecasts the demise of newspapers and praises the benefit to the environment. But, as Nicholas Carr points out in "The Big Switch," we'll probably end up with fewer articles on government (corruption, achievements), resurgence of malaria in Africa, etc. because there's no natural advertising link to such content, and readers will become more and more polarized as they pursue affinity groups.
Jarvis extols his own experience blogging about poor Dell service, and their subsequent improvements - almost a year later. He then forecasts companies (eg. BMW) using eg. Facebook groups to help design new cars. Again, perhaps - but what about the bias contributed by those using Facebook, and the fact that some companies dislike "focus groups" because they're easily dominated by the most vocal, and generally have poor future-vision?

This paper reviews research on the Individual Placement and Support (IPS) model of supported employment for people with severe mental illness. Current evidence indicates that IPS supported employment is a more effective approach for helping people with psychiatric disabilities to find and maintain competitive employment than rehabilitative day programs or than traditional, stepwise approaches to vocational rehabilitation. There is no evidence that the rapid-job-search, high-expectations approach of IPS produces untoward side effects. IPS positively affects satisfaction with finances and vocational services, but probably has minimal impact on clinical adjustment. The cost of IPS is similar to the costs of other vocational services, and cost reductions may occur when IPS displaces traditional day treatment programs. Future research should be directed at efforts to enhance job tenure and long-term vocational careers.
