Fredericksburg is the seat of Gillespie County, Texas, United States. As of the 2009 Census estimate, the city had a population of 11,305. Fredericksburg was founded in 1846 and named after Prince Frederick of Prussia. Old-time German residents often referred to Fredericksburg as Fritztown, a nickname that is still used in some businesses. The town is also notable as the home of Texas German, a dialect spoken by the first generations of German settlers who initially refused to learn English. Fredericksburg shares many cultural characteristics with New Braunfels, which had been established by Prince Carl of Solms-Braunfels the previous year. Fredericksburg is the birthplace of Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz. It is the sister city of Montabaur, Germany. On October 14, 1970, the Fredericksburg Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in Texas.Fredericksburg Historic District (Texas) [more on Wikipedia]

February TasksIt brings me great pleasure to announce to you all that the unveiling of our task system has been met with much success, so much so that other villages have gotten wind of what we're doing and have started filing their own requests! I have a letter sent to me from the Pokemon inhabiting Mossy Village with some tasks, so without further delay, allow me to read them off! Each one of these tasks is worth one point.Looks like the Merchants here are rather popular, seeing as the first two requests are for them. First off...Mossy Village's richest and most eccentric (they're always both, and not just the first one, huh?) citizen wants her already opulently decorated home to be a "symbol of even greater excess than it currently is". Evidently the walkway leading up to her house is pure silk, and she would like it decorated with the most luxurious, most colorful l
Mission 8 (Past)Please watch this firstHhh kheh... god damn it. How am I even going to tell everyone--...Oh. You're all here already?!…Well, this is going to sound really... god!!Okay. So me and Grand Kec got over here, and I thought, AT THE VERY LEAST, that there was some better way to get the sap to heal Jasmine besides... this. Grand Kec told me that the only way for this tree to even give up this sap is to have some... certain Pokemon's blood spill all over it.Grand Kec called it a... "Shaymin." I've never heard of or seen a Pokemon like it. It's like... uhh... Well there's more than one of them, and they're like a small little shrub-bush with a white body and legs... kinda cute......argh, but that's beside the point! There's a special one among them, and he's the biggest one... and he looks different, totally different! He's like... I don't know, a failed Eevee evolution without the green shrubbery covering them... oh, and his flower has gold in it,
Past M7 Accessories + Tasks (Chlora)Uh... hello, everyone, I'm uh, I'm Chlora. I help Micle out with my little garment shop he brought me here to run...I'm originally, um, from Mossy Village. How many of you have been there...? Oh.. not a whole lot of you. It's a nice place. A lot of bugs are from there... which leads me to my next, uh, well...Normally, each month before those mean foxes attack us, I make a few Moonlight Bands out of whatever material I have on hand and some moondust. However! I cannot do this for all of you right now, since there are, uh, a lot of you now. Which is good! Fending off the attack requires a lot of effort, and that's... well, sometimes there are... casualties. They're not anyone's fault but, you know. It just happens that way sometimes...Um! So, yes. We're low on moondust. There's a particular Pokemon species back in Mossy Village which produces naturally a tiny amount of this stuff over
M8 Recruitment and Event rewards (EDIT)PastRescuers, Rogues, and Merchants! Please take a few moments to listen to what I have to say. Micle has made mention of an impending attack on our village. I have asked Brooke for clarification, and she has made it very clear that this attack is going to be brutal. They have said that our attackers are vicious, uncaring monsters. Our task tonight will be to survive this encounter. This will not be like any mission your guilds have asked you to perform in the past. These attackers are very real, with every intent to end your lives, should they get any opportunity to do so. Brooke has told me of many Pokemon that have met their demise prematurely at the hands of these Zoroark, and I fear that some of you may fall victim to this same ending. To make matters worse, not everyone we currently came here with will remain in the village for this assault on us. Many of us will be accompanying Micle and Mike out on an expedition to find help for Jasmine, and while that is m
March TasksGod, another month of tasks? It feels like I was just up here! I don't really think it's necessary for me to announce them to everyone personally when they come out, but Callahan won't leave me alone about it. Says he'll make me regret every day that goes by until a task announcement for March is made. Whatever! I'm tired, and the sun hasn't even come up yet, so let's make this as painless as possible. Let's see... Hum. I'm glad I'm not any of you guys! The next set of tasks are for the denizens of Castle Draclugia! I wouldn't want to be caught dead in that place, that creepy lady who runs it would probably have me in a maid outfit before I hit the ground. Right, so here we go. Merchants, it looks like you get to do some merchanting this month. Lucky you! See

Since you're all eager for work, we'll get along just fine, I'm sure. First off, welcome to Alomomola. We've got it all, here. Unfortunately, having it all means you've gotta keep up with it all. I'm glad all that isn't up to me, heh. My domain is our lovely King's Rock Casino, of course. I can't wait to put some of you to work there... but before we delve into the sweet center of it all, we must address the crusty, brittle outer layer that is the tasks I

I'm not really sure what his problem is, but this jungle's always been pretty harsh. But enough about that. We need to find where all of the villagers scattered off to. I'm pretty certain we're actually in the middle of an island, with all this water around us no matter where we go...Island?! But we're not in the middle of an ocean... are we?No, it's not like that. I think we're next to a giant pond. Rather, in the middle of it. I know Prismatic Jungle has one of those, so I think that's where we might be. It's colorful enough for that, anyway. My grandfather did more traveling than I ever have... he would know for sure. Hmm, well, we
August TasksGreetings to you, citizens of Tao Village.You may recognize me. I am Gabriel, archbishop of the Order of the Sun. I work alongside my friend and deacon, Ezekiel, to bring spiritual refuge to your village. While we attempt to remain out of your affairs unless brought to us, we have taken notice of the hardships you've endured, as well as the current exodus of many Merchants from the village. There are some sort of politics involved in this, I'm sure, but we will not judge based on that, for my Creator has given me my place for other purposes.For those willing to travel, I have received word of several tasks I'm authorized to give out to the teams registered in Tao. Though I find it remiss to offer such when we in the Order teach against material desires, there will most cer
Mission 8 Present (Rogues)PLEASE WATCH THIS FIRST: Hello everyone!No, no, you've got it wrong! Don't look for Gunpowder! He asked me to help out this month while he takes care of some other business for Devonshire. Really! Dmitri here can attest to that!Okay, now that I've got your attention... well, honestly, I need help from a lot of you. It's a really important mission, and I've gotten the okay from Gunpowder. Again, just confirm with Dmitri! I think Dmitri is actually the one who's collected most of you to help out with this, so you probably already know.So... I suppose I'll cut to the chase. It's very, very important that what I tell you not be repeated until after we've completed our goal. Shh, don't be so loud! We need to be quiet and discreet. I'm not joking. If you can't handle that, please leave until I discuss the other missions at hand.Who's left? Hmm... I gues
January TasksHello, everyone! Some of you may have seen me lurking about Callahan's office and Sleepytime Books, but until now I've been far too shy to properly introduce myself to everyone. So, here goes...My name is Zaru, and I am, for lack of a better term, Callahan's assistant. I won't get into how that became my job as I don't deem it very relevant, but it's the truth. It has allowed me to view the goings-on of the village fairly easily, as every bit of paperwork and every prospective Pokemon team must pass through Callahan's sights sooner or later, and I've come to realize something.While we have a variety of guilds all pursuing their own goals in their own ways, sometimes, smaller jobs are left overlooked. The denizens of this village sometimes require assistance, but, due to the perceived busy nature of the guilds, may not feel comfortable with approaching the guild leaders with their problems.We have implemented a system that will allow go

For anyone that might be interested Mystic Seaport is having it's annual carol sing this comming Sun. There is a concert in the old church and then a public carol sing led by a choir in the courtyard. The seaport is decorated for the holidays and it's a great way to get in the mood w/ family. It's a family tradition for us, we have gone for almost 50 years. The morgan is out of the water going thru a major refit thanks to Katrina. It's incredible to get under her and see the size of the lumber that was used. Worth the trip.

Re: The Terrible Towel Is "Terribly Stupid"
That's ok...the response was funny enough.
Terrible Towel Wipes Up Cheeseheads
By David Whitley
In the long-awaited Super Bowl matchup between Cheeseheads and Terrible Towels, set aside your allegiance for a moment and ask yourself a simple question.
If you were inventing a merchandising gimmick, what do you think customers would prefer: An easily transportable item they could use to wave, wipe their seats, warm their hands, wash their cars and flag down help in case of emergency?
Or one that makes them look like the victim of a fraternity prank?
If you went with the first option, congratulations! You are a person of style, common sense and decency.
If you went with the second, you are from Sheboygan, Kenosha or Muskego and have a cholesterol level approximately 10 times higher than your IQ.
Unless you bow three times a day toward Vince Lombardi's grave, you would never voluntarily go out in public with a foam-rubber cheese wedge on your head. If Lombardi were still alive, even he would probably laugh at you. I realize them's fighting words for Packers fans, but I'm on your side here.
I like cheese. I'm all for expressing love for your team. I just hate to see you lose your dignity in the process.
And for your own protection, please don't mess with the Terrible Towel. Those who do tend to come back as ****roaches or Bengals fans in their next lives.
I can't explain such cosmic powers. I just know the Gods don't offer the same protection to cheddar-headed Packers fans. They simply can't be worried with defending the nobility of a woman wearing a cheese bra.
That's right, a cheese bra. It's one of the many spinoffs of the original cheesehead, which was actually sort of clever.
The snotty people from Illinois used the term as an insult toward Wisconsinites. So a guy cut a foam-rubber wedge out of his mother's couch, burned some holes in it and painted it yellow. He wore it to a Brewers' game in 1987.
A movement was born. Now it has turned into a marketing monster. Besides heads, you can now order cheese caps, sombreros, necklaces, earrings, bowties, blankets, Frisbees, erasers, dice, butt cushions, key chains, toilet seats and women's undergarments.
I'm all for state pride. But unless Victoria's Secret comes out with a Dairy Product line, it's unlikely an NFL quarterback will ever marry a cheese model. Though Brett Favre might text one.
The Terrible Towel is so much nobler. Pittsburgh radio announcer Myron Cope came up with the concept in 1975, helping wave in the Steelers' dynasty. There have been a few commercial off-shoots, but the Towel has maintained its majesty.
Terrible Towels have been on the International Space Station and to the top of Mt. Everest. When you think of towels, you conjure visions of a leggy woman -- or man, if you prefer -- coming out of a shower with one clinging to their steamed-up body.
When you think of cheese, you think of Tony Siragusa pouring a pound of melted queso over a pile of nachos
When Cope died in 2008, mourners observed a minute of silent towel-waving. He'd long since given Terrible Towel marketing rights to the Allegheny Valley School, which cares for mentally and physically disabled children. The school has gotten more than $2.2 million from Towel proceeds over the years.
Such gestures are why you just don't mess with the Terrible Towel. Just the recent examples:
2008 – The Titans stepped on one during a 31-14 win. They then lost eight straight games, at which point some Tennessee players autographed a Terrible Towel and mailed it to a Pittsburgh charity. The Titans won their next five games.
2009 – Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon handed Cardinals mascot Big Red a Terrible Towel at the team's Super Bowl sendoff rally. Big Red wiped his armpits and blew his nose with it. The Steelers won, 27-23.
2011 – Jets fans stomped on Terrible Towels before Sunday's AFC Championship Game. We all know how that one came out.
In this battle of iconic marketing items, Cheeseheads should just go ahead and throw in the towel. But in a diplomatic nod to Green Bay's place in NFL history, the Terrible Towel might have one more use in a couple of weeks.
The Steelers can use one to polish their newest Vince Lombardi Trophy. Let's see them try that with a wedge of cheese.
Look at these eyebrows. These are attack eyebrows! They could take off bottle caps!

ICQ is still king over MSN Messenger. Then again, it's 'cos I got introduced to ICQ first. The software designers have made effort to streamline the user experience, but such modifications are only skin-deep.

David Sullivan insists breaking into the Premier League top six must be West Ham's ambition and believes the appointment of Teddy Sheringham is a signal of their intent.
After last season saw manager Sam Allardyce come in for criticism over the team's style of play, West Ham have recruited former striker Sheringham in a bid to provide the attacking brand of football the Upton Park faithful crave.
Hammers fans were dismayed by Allardyce's tactical approach but despite the unrest, Sullivan, co-owner David Gold and vice-chairman Karren Brady opted to back their manager.
Sullivan believes offering such support to Allardyce quashes suggestions the club are dictated to by opinions from the terraces.
\"It's quite the opposite,\" he told the Daily Mirror. \"They voted 80-20 per cent to sack the manager. We didn't sack the manager.\"
West Ham get their 2014/15 campaign underway on August 16 as London rivals Tottenham visit Upton Park and Sullivan admits the fans are right to be ambitious.
\"You can't just look to stay up,\" he said. \"It is not acceptable to our supporters to say, 'We've survived. We've had a very good campaign'.
\"We are not Norwich. We are not Fulham. We are not Reading. We are West Ham United.
"Our supporters are realistic. They know it is a huge and difficult task to break into the top six. But we must be aiming for that, even if we don't achieve it.\"
Sullivan believes the addition of former England forward Sheringham to the coaching staff will prove influential, but denies suggestions the appointment undermined Allardyce.
\"We had a lot of people approach us to become our attacking coach and Sam picked the one he wanted,\" he added. \"Yes, we suggested the idea, but Sam liked it.
\"We didn't undermine him at all. I think he has analysed the performance of the team last year and agreed that we would like to score more goals. It was a weakness of the team and he has brought in an expert to try and improve that.
\"Teddy has played at the highest level. If you combine his game intelligence with the level he has played at, I do not believe that he won't improve our attacking ideas, whether it is the way we take our corners, our free-kicks, or just our overall strategy.
\"I believe we will be a better team for having him as part of our management set-up.\"

For the second time in the space of a week, Lewis Hamilton has been handed a 'damage limitation' mission in Sunday's Hungarian GP. But can he make the podium this time?
Hamilton came from the back of the grid to finish third in Germany last weekend, but seven days on he faces an even steeper mountain to climb after fire engulfed his Mercedes during the opening minutes of Saturday's qualifying session.
With the team therefore forced to ready their spare chassis, the Briton . And with overtaking at the tight, twisting 4.381km Hungaroring more difficult than at Hockenheim, Hamilton doubts he'll finish in the points, never mind on the podium.
With team-mate and title rival Nico Rosberg odds-on favourite for victory after securing his third straight pole position, Hamilton told Sky Sports F1: "I think I will struggle to get into the top ten. I fear that I will leave tomorrow more than 20 points behind [Rosberg] in the standings.
"The only comfort is that there are still many races to go. That's what keeps my chin up."
However, Hamilton's downbeat prognosis is not shared by Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff, who said they're hoping to ease his progress as best they can by using an alternative race strategy.
A long opening stint last weekend enabled Hamilton to climb as high as second place behind Rosberg before Valtteri Bottas relegated him to third at the chequered flag.
Speaking on Saturday evening, Wolff was optimistic his driver, who was fastest in all three practice sessions earlier this weekend, has another podium shot.
"I wouldn't exclude a podium, honestly," he said. "Because he had huge speed today and if we get it right, strategy-wise - different to [the] others - so maybe he needs an offset strategy."
If anything Jenson Button was even more certain of Hamilton's progress, saying that his former team-mate has "a very, very good chance" of finishing in the top three.
The McLaren driver, who lines up seventh on the grid, has twice taken advantage of wet conditions to win the Hungarian GP and although rain could fall again on Sunday, Button thinks Mercedes' advantage makes such considerations more or less irrelevant.
"If it's dry tomorrow, it's obviously hard to overtake round here. But that car is by far the best car out there," he said.
"I remember the first few laps at Silverstone; they were 2.5s quicker than anyone else when they want to be, when they turn it on in a race.
"So he can use his tyres in certain ways to gain advantage, even if he's going to degrade the tyres, because his pace is so good."
Button, who was hit by Hamilton as the latter's Silver Arrow carved its way through the field in Germany, added: "As long as he keeps clean and doesn't have contact with people then there's a good chance he'll be on the podium.
"Qualifying hasn't been great for him the last few races, but he'll fight his way through I think."
Hamilton's sternest opposition, certainly in the early stages, could come from Button's team-mate Kevin Magnussen, who also starts from the pitlane after crashing out of Q3.
Like Mercedes, McLaren have been forced to press their spare car into action, but because the Dane's own exit came after Hamilton's, he'll be allowed to start in front.
Hamilto n may be pessimistic but he won the race 12 months ago after saying beforehand that he'd need a "miracle" to do so.
On that occasion it was Rosberg's car that caught fire - the German pulling off the track with six laps to go.
Today's Hungarian GP is exclusively live on Sky Sports F1, with coverage underway from 11.30am

I'm heading up to Flagstaff in late June to hike Humphreys Peak (highest point in AZ) and plan on doing some sort of wheeling. My buddy just found out he has a work trip he can't miss, so I'm probably solo vehicle although I may have a passenger.
I figured I'd throw out a WARNO in case anyone might want to link up. I have June 20-25 available and am flexible if someone wants to rendezvous. Plenty of time to work out any details.
Day1: Drive up and do some wheeling on the way up or around Flagstaff (I have a few ideas where) and camp.
Day2: Hike Humphreys (10 miles, 6 hours) and drive home.
If anyone wants to join me and wheel that first day feel free, if you want to camp too that's fine, and if you want to do the hike that is fine as well. Whatevers clever.

Friends, kindred and brethren, my book just hit the market!
My wife called me at work yesterday, all excited: she'd gone to the Amazon site and my book is listed.
It's also on Borders sites.
The Sheriff's Legacy is a modern day Western, the first female Sheriff of Firelands County, Colorado. She's a good looking gal with really nice legs, a short temper and eyes the color of winter ice. In her first half hour in-country she stopped a bar fight with a 12 gauge, dragged the Mayor across Council Chambers table by his necktie, threw him to the floor and kneedropped him in the kidneys, and ordered the Chief of Police around like her personal secretary.
She does not fight fair and she gets what she wants.
Or otherwise.
You can order from the Borders or Amazon sites, or you can get a better price direct from the publisher (Author House) along with a gander at the cover pic, an intro and an excerpt, or you can get a better price from me.
Fifteen bucks for "Just a Book" or 20 bucks for a genuine, high grade, Signed by the Author first edition!
Shoot me an e-mule or a PM and we'll fix you right up!

The chain was locked and had to be removed with bolt cutters.A witness told police she and a friend had noticed the boy leaning against a tree and crying. She asked how the chain and lock got around his ankles, and he allegedly told her, "My mom did this to me," police said.Navarro has three children.

Guatemala now has higher public standards than America... Well done Guatemala!
To anyone with any concept of Equality or Democracy, the sight of Hilary Clinton dragging her career on her husband's coattails is outrageous
SANDRA TORRES, who divorced the president of Guatemala in order to be eligible for a presidential run in next month's election, has been ruled out of the contest once and for all. One of Latin America's weirdest political sagas finally came to an end when the Constitutional Court ruled on Monday that her marriage to Álvaro Colom, the current president, made her candidacy unconstitutional.
Guatemala's constitution forbids the candidacy of close relatives of the president, including his spouse. Ms Torres, who has played an active role in Mr Colom's government overseeing social welfare programmes, hoped to overcome this barrier with a quick divorce. The separation was granted in April, and Ms Torres' face went up on election posters all over the country.
But her controversial candidacy quickly hit trouble. On July 30th the Supreme Court ruled against her, arguing that "This relationship exists, regardless of whether they are divorced." The Torres camp appealed to the Constitutional Court, which rejected her bid late on August 8th after four days of private deliberation. Its seven members unanimously said that the constitutional prohibition "includes the president's wife during his entire presidency."
The debacle has left the ruling National Unity of Hope party without a candidate for the election on September 11th, since Mr Colom cannot run for re-election. Worse still, it is now too late for the party to pick another candidate. At the time of the divorce, Ms Torres said: "Love for Guatemala is the reason why the president and I put the interests of the country ahead of our own interests." Many in her party must now feel that they did precisely the opposite.
The ruling makes Otto Pérez Molina, a former general who represents the right-wing Patriotic Party, the strong favourite to win. Mr Pérez was well in the lead even before this week's events; with the elimination of Ms Torres, who was polling in second place, he faces little serious competition. Those on the left will feel frustrated that power looks set to return to the conservatives. They can at least take heart that whoever wins next month's election will know that they cannot treat the constitution with contempt.

Seems like South America is growing up:)! Now we just needs to get rid of the slides and sand boxes in the US Congress and the Americas will be good to go:)!
My god, what an appalling string of casual misogyny. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
"To anyone with any concept of Equality or Democracy, the sight of Hilary Clinton dragging her career on her husband's coattails is outrageous"
Did they not both meet at University? Surely the more likely explanation is that Hilary put her career on the back burner to support Bill's, and now his is over is taking her turn?
"Give us a break. I would vote for the lady Ms Torres any time viz the manly aggressive Hilliary in her pant power-suit."
I take it a man may be aggressive and a woman can't? Pathetic.
"Not as attractive as the Thai lady on face-value."
Pah. And your point is?
Not as attractive as the Thai lady on face-value.
This is great news for a country with many problems. It seemed for a moment that this grotesque attempt to bypass the spirit of the law would not find any significant obstacle. Guatemala's Judiciary has established a valuable precedent against patrimonialism in a country (and a region) where all too often inheriting political power is a family rather than a public matter...
Give us a break. I would vote for the lady Ms Torres any time viz the manly aggressive Hilliary in her pant power-suit.

AMERICAN GUYS,WELCOME TO come to China! even every officer dragged his father's coattails in the country!!!or wore his relatvies' boots! MUST be corrut with lacking efficient supervising!
Tom Silo..... South America??? Really??
With more and more females as presidentes and prime ministers in the Latin backyards, I think that the time has come for the Latinos to overcome their downtrodden existence. Luckily none of them are in the mode of Hilliary whose aggressiveness may potent new conflicts with neighbours and hence bring more misery to the people.
Despite the conflict with the Constitution, Ms. Torres already has great experience because she knows how the system works. She saw all the behind-the-scene action while watching her husband. After the divorce, will Ms. Torres be able to run for the presidential election next election in 2015? The Constitutional Court did make the right decision, however, because she was obviously related to the President and as the Constitution clearly restricts the candidacy of close relatives. Even though they were recently divorced, Ms. Torres was still married to President Colom during his last term.
Quite an article! I guess there is political drama all over the world! It is reassuring that countries still abide by their laws and constitution, like Guatemala has done. However, we have a similar system to Guatemala and we allow fathers and sons to both run as president and it worked out perfectly fine, they were both successful presidents. How is that any different? Ms. Torres most likely has great experience with dealing with conflict and other issues in the country just like George W. Bush did because his dad has previously been in office. I am curious to see if Ms. Torres continues to fight for being eligible to run for office in 2015. If I were her, I would definitely keep fighting for the right to run for president, if she truly has the country in her best interest.
"To anyone with any concept of Equality or Democracy, the sight of Hilary Clinton dragging her career on her husband's coattails is outrageous"
Hilary is an educated woman with a goal. Just because she put her aspirations on hold to help her husband's campaign, should not make her unable to carry out her own political dreams. The same goes for Sandra Torres. If she was originally found acceptable to serve their country as president her marriage to her husband does not make her incapable. Also for those believing that Hillary should be unable to run because she is the wife of a former president, shouldn't we exclude all family members, for example Bush father and son.
If Ms Torres is qualified and has the support of the people, then having been married to the previous president shouldn't make her ineligible. As it has already been stated, we here in the United States have had presidents whose fathers had served terms before them, such as the Bush's or way back to the Adams'. I don't know Ms Torres myself, but If she's capable of the position, then I don't believe her relationship to the previous president should make any difference.
I believe that the court made the right decision. The constitution cleary states that you may not run for candidacy if you are a close relative to the president, being the wife makes you a close relative. You cannot divorce your husband to try to get around the constitution just to be able to run for office. It is unethical and stupid. The family did not want to give up their power and thought they could get around it by doing this. The Supreme Court made the right decision.
Perhaps Mr. Colom and Sandra Torres should have done some research before they went through with a divorce simply for the purpose of political gain. Not knowing the history of their relationship, I'm not sure if there were other factors that could have come into play leading to their divorce, but an attempt to gain political office at the expense of one's marriage seems to be a pretty high cost indeed. However, relationship status aside, I know I would not elect anyone into office who failed to show the basic intellectual prowess to do even minimal research with so much on the line. Congratulations to the Constitutional Court for staying true even in the face of intense political pressure.
I do not agree with the decision of the Guatemalan court system. Even though these people were married, they each have their own train of thought, ideas, and way about doing things. Marriage should not hender the ability of a candidate to be in an election. Even if the couple were still married, having a spouse thats know about the government could only help in aid to the new president.
I personally like the government's stance on this issue. I mean what kind of image is Ms. Torres trying to depict by divorcing her husband to become president. Sure that is someone who cares for their country it would seem, but that is not someone with solid morals. If she wants to become president in the first place she should know that running for president would be a conflict of interest before making a rash decision like that. The court not allowing her to run is a positive step, for they are displaying authority in the matter. The downside is that many Guatemalans will be disappointed that their favorite candidate cannot run. However, having been to Guatemala, I think that any sign of government authority that attempts to protect its inhabitants is a good sign and a step in the right direction.
I personally know a large amount of people that have visited Guatemala for two weeks or longer and all talk about how horrific the government is there. However, seeing that Guatemala is actually not trying to find any way around this law seems like a positive sign. I personally believe that the court make the correct decision. It does seem very unfair because I am sure that Ms. Torres knows what she is talking about since she was married to the President and lived that lifestyle and was in the know of everything. I do feel though that the policy should change. The United States doesn't have anything like this and I personally think that it works out great. I know many would argue about the Bush family but there is no way that people can successfully argue that their terms in Presidency sucked because they are blood related. I believe that every person has their own thoughts and feelings on situations. There is no one person alike, which would mean that Ms. Torres would not just follow in her ex-husbands footsteps on every single issue. It really is a shame that she cannot run for Presidency because she was married to the previous President.
What a surprising story! This event is surely going to impact their history in more than one way. It is good however, to see Guatemala sticking to their policies even when public figures try to find loop holes around a situation. The most interesting piece of information for me was that now this party does not even have a candidate. It is always important to have a back-up plan even when confident. Unfortunately Ms. Torres and her party forgot this piece of information. Don't through your eggs all in one basket.

Suggestions For Email Marketing Title
NEW YORK, Aug. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Here is a brief talk shared by B2C SooBest.com, which has a wide range of products such as womens clothing, mens clothing, fashion watches, fashion jewelry, and more.
Rules for drafting title:
1. Informed but not sales
The best titles are to tell subscribers what the content of the message is, and the worst titles are trying to sell products through the mail title. Don't let your title read like an advertisement. More commercial reflected in the title, the less the message will be opened.
2. Empathy: take yourself as customers rather than marketers Your mail reader is only interested in one thing: what will available to them in the mail? You should think of this when you writing message, write some content that readers are interested in, do not capitalize close-up the content relating to you. If you want them to take the time to read your mail, then think about why they want to read. And then write them an email, as if you were in the same way to explain the reading. In that way, your title would be better. 3. Using the company's name in a title Many studies have shown that putting the company name in the sender and title can increase open rates. Research found that including the company name in the title can make opening rates increase from 32% to 60%, which is far more than a title without the company name included. 4. Send the email to yourself Once you have identified the title, send it to yourself before formally sending. Does it attract your attention in your mailbox? And compared to the other messages in your Inbox, did it stand out? Does it look interesting and worth opening? Does it look like spam email? Very often, the messages in the Inbox and messages in the drawing board don't look the same.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

The FS103s can be best described as a 'lite' version of the Award-winning Signature FS104 stands from Custom Design.
The FS103s lend a snappy and agile presentation to speakers
When mounted on these stands, our reference ATC SCM 11s deliver more zing to the treble than oomph to the bass – Eminem's Marshall Mathers LP is delivered with a snappy and light-footed rhythm, but there's not enough weight and punch to fully flesh out his angry vocals and we'd like a more solid sound overall.
More after the break
Make sure you fill the central column for increased stability – two bags of inert filler (£5 per bag) is recommended
Loading the stand with inert filler helps add a touch more substance to the ATC's sound, as well as giving the tripod design (which can feel a bit unsteady) more stability.
Tip: take the stands outside when filling them so the sand doesn't spill over in your living room. You can buy the FS103's satellite poles in black, white, chrome or brushed-chrome finishes, while the central column comes in black only.
While the all-metal construction looks good to our eyes, rivals provide a better option for overall performance

Patrick Administration Kicks Off the Holiday Season with Annual Christmas Tree Cutting Ceremony
GROVELAND – Friday, November 29, 2013 – Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) Environment Undersecretary Maeve Vallely Bartlett and Department of Agricultural Resources (DAR) Commissioner Greg Watson today joined local legislators, town officials and community members at the Crane Neck Christmas Tree Farm to kick off the holiday season by harvesting a locally grown Christmas tree.
"Massachusetts Christmas trees are the perfect way to celebrate local farmers and the holiday season," said Undersecretary Maeve Vallely Bartlett. "With 284 farms offering trees for purchase across the Commonwealth, you don't need to travel far to find a beautiful tree for your home."
"Going out to a local Christmas tree farm is great fun for the family and full of the holiday spirit," said Commissioner Watson. "In addition to being the freshest trees possible, locally grown Christmas trees are renewable, recyclable and an important part of the Massachusetts economy."
During the annual Christmas tree cutting event, Commissioner Watson encouraged Massachusetts residents to buy locally grown trees from one of the Commonwealth's many Christmas tree farms. He also urged everyone to celebrate the holiday season with locally sourced and environmentally friendly gifts.
Christmas tree production is a sustainable agricultural practice. As a crop, trees are continually replenished. Nearly 98 percent of all Christmas trees are grown on farms, limiting negative impact on forests. Based on the last USDA agricultural census, there are 284 farms with 3,164 acres in production and more than 75,900 trees cut across the Commonwealth.
The Crane Neck Christmas Tree Farm is owned in partnership by Jeb Brackbill and Bill Latham. Their 15 acre West Newbury farm location has been farmed for 45 years in the Brackbill Family. After seven years of planting on their ten acre expansion field in Groveland, they have around 8,000 Douglas Fir trees.
"After seven years of hard work and anticipation, we are excited to harvest Christmas trees at our new Wood Street location in Groveland," said Brackbill. "It's a fresh chapter in our family's history."
For a list of Christmas tree farms across the Commonwealth, visit DAR's MassGrown website. For information on tree selection, visit the Massachusetts Christmas Tree Association's website.
DAR's mission is to ensure the long-term viability of agriculture in Massachusetts. Through its four divisions – Agricultural Conservation & Technical Assistance, Agricultural Markets, Animal Health, and Crop and Pest Services – DAR strives to support, regulate and enhance the rich diversity of the Commonwealth's agricultural community to promote economically and environmentally sound food safety and animal health measures, and fulfill agriculture's role in energy conservation and production.

Moguls Coffee House, Whistler

Whistler , British Columbia
Tel: 604 932 4845
Whistler , British Columbia
Tel: 604 932 4845
Concierge.com's insider take:
Just four hours north of Seattle, Whistler Village suffers two Starbucks within a five-minute walk of each other. Blessedly, it still has room for a community beanery like Moguls. Adorned with local art and staffed with attractive young hippies, Moguls feels more organic Whistler than franchised Seattleplus the beans come from Canterbury Coffee in Vancouver. Try the cinnamon rolls and panini-grilled breakfast wraps. Sister spot Gone Village Eatery next door (604-938-1957) has homemade organic soups and breads.

Business Productivity
8 Tips to Keep Your Energy and Be More Productive Throughout the Work Day
Staying productive throughout the work day is often a struggle that people experience on a daily basis especially when one is expected to work a set number of hours. Sometimes a day where you worked 3 or 4 hours may be more productive than trying to work 8-10 hours. When we lose the ability to focus on our work, we are no longer a valuable asset to our company and risk becoming a dispensable employee.
Lack of concentration is one of the greatest sources of decreased productivity. This is often experienced when unexpected distractions arise such as phone calls, mandatory meetings, additional tasks being delegated by a superior, among other potential nuances. These distractions lead to extra energy being exerted which then leads to fatigue and difficulty focusing on the important projects that need to be completed. It also makes it difficult to pick up where you had originally left off and may interrupt a great train of thought. If you find yourself experiencing the inability to concentrate or have a difficult time staying energized throughout the work day, perhaps it is time to consider our 8 tips for keeping your energy and be more productive throughout the work day.
1. Make Healthy Food Choices
The food we put into our bodies has a great impact on our work ethic and can help keep our energy levels up throughout the day. With the lack of time in our hectic work schedules, sometimes it can be difficult to remember the simple fact that we need to eat! Eating a balanced breakfast is recommended before each work day, so it is important to make the extra effort to wake up a little bit earlier to be certain we have breakfast before we leave for work. It is also essential that if you are feeling hungry throughout the work day to indulge that craving, with healthy snacks such as almonds, bananas, greek yogurt, etc. Feeling hungry leads to loss of concentration and causes you to focus on your need to feel full rather than the task at hand.2. Get a Good Nights Rest
Most of us require a good 8 hours of sleep each night in order to function properly the next day. If you work a normal eight-hour work day, be certain to carve out time to sleep at least 8 hours each night. Schedule your after work activities accordingly to accommodate for your sleep schedule. Not only does lack of sleep negatively affect your overall health, it can also affects your clarity in thinking and clouds your judgement.3. Sit in a Good Office Chair
This may seem like common sense, however most individuals sit in a chair that does not properly fit them which can lead to unnecessary aches and pains. If you begin to experience back pain or other health issues that occur from sitting in a cheap office chair, you will find yourself concentrating more of the pain than your actual work. Luckily, this can be easily solved by purchasing an ergonomic office chair. A good ergonomic office chair is at the tips of your fingers, literally, by simply searching for an online office chair retailer, you can order your new chair online and have it conveniently shipped to the front door of your home or business.4. Take Short Breaks
Taking breaks during work is not only essential but actually encouraged by physicians. It is recommended to get up from your work station to stretch and walk around at least once every hour to feel refreshed and rejuvenated. Breaks can also be utilized when working on a large time-consuming project to give your mind a quick break and give yourself a few minutes to recharge your batteries. You will find that breaks greatly aid in the ability to immerse yourself in even the most mundane tasks.5. Create a Clutter-Free Work Station
The last distraction you need from work is your work station. With the amount of work and paperwork that gets thrown on us on a daily basis, our desks can easily become cluttered which can cause havoc when trying to search for a particular document for a meeting or phone call with a customer. By keeping your work station organized you will eliminate the unnecessary stress that can come from working in a messy environment. If necessary, purchase the office accessories needed to organize your desk such as a monitor arm, cable management, keyboard tray, file cabinet, and/or storage tubs.6. Disconnect From Your Personal Life
Perhaps the greatest distraction of all that can keep us from remaining productive throughout the work day is our personal life. With the technology available to us, it is easy to keep in constant communication with our friends and family through our cell phones, e-mail, social network sites, and tablet devices. When you arrive at work, make a conscience effort to disconnect from your personal life. Turn your cell phone off, stay off your social networking sites, and only have your work e-mail accessible. If you are worried you are going to miss something significant, wait until lunch to catch up on anything that may have occurred earlier in the morning.7. Create a To Do List
It is easy to forget what you need to accomplish for the day when you walk into the office, especially after having a night off to relax and forget about the troubles of your previous day. Taking a few minutes in the morning when you first get in to prioritize and look over the day's tasks, review what you accomplished yesterday, and plan accordingly can help eliminate the feeling of stress and chaos. Once a task has been completed, be certain to check it off. This will not only help you remember it has been completed but provide positive reinforcement which drives us to work harder.8. Exercise Daily
Exercising daily helps keep your stress level down and helps you unwind after a long day of work. Simply walking for 30 minutes three to four times a week can improve your brainpower. Exercise also promotes the growth of new cells in the learning center of your brain. New cell growth allows you to have the ability to learn faster and retain more information. If you can not find time with your busy work schedule to exercise, consider utilizing your lunch break as an opportunity to get a quick run or walk in. When you come back to work you will feel more refreshed and ready to take on the rest of the challenges that the day will bring.To view SitBetter's full line of ergonomic office chairs designed to help increase productivity, click here!
Desk Job Dangers - How You Can Be Healthier at Work
Monday mornings for many professionals who sit behind a desk each day at work fill their hearts with dread. This dread does not necessarily come from the disappointment of the weekend being over, but instead, it may come from the uncomfortable day t
hey know they have ahead of them. If this sounds like you, you are far from alone. Desk jobs are some of the most silent torturers on the human body, and yet many people do not realize how dangerous they actually are because they seem so sedentary and safe. However, the long hours of not moving, sitting in unhealthy postures and slaving over a keyboard are some of the worst things that you can do for your body.
If you are ready to take your desk job and recreate it so that you can work with more energy and treat your body better while on the job, here are a few simple updates to make you healthier at work.
Change postures frequently
While you work, make a conscious effort to change your posture frequently. Get up and walk to the next room to ask a question instead of sending an instant message, or take the stairs instead of the elevator whenever possible. The human body was not designed to sit for extended periods of time, so changing your posture on a regular basis will help keep your blood moving and take strain off your joints that can become stiff when sedentary.Fight the bulge
When you become stressed at work your body craves sugars that can help rejuvenate your energy levels and help you fight against the very thing that is bothering you. In this case, many people reach for the hidden candy bar they keep stashed for emergencies. Instead, cut the sugar spikes and take a walk to a drinking fountain instead. Simple water can rehydrate you, which can calm the body and allow you to take on stress without packing on the pounds.Reduce stress to your back
One of the top complaints people make about sitting all day is their back pain from office chairs. Sitting in a way that does not support your lumbar curve or provide you with enough movement and flexibility while seated can cause your lower back to take on excess pressure that ultimately builds up over the course of your 9 to 5 workday. Instead, find a chair that can support you and make you feel not only more comfortable but also more aligned so that you can sit with better posture and take the strain off your spine.Avoid breakouts
Even as an adult you may get frequent breakouts due to stress and leaning your head in your hands while you try to stay awake during the last few hours of your workday. When you do this, it's important to remember that your hands have dirt and bacteria on them from the keyboard and space around you. As you lean your head into your hands or rub your face and eyes to try to wake up from the fog you are in, you rub these bacteria into the sensitive pores on your face. By sitting up taller and getting more energy, you can avoid this natural tendency and avoid breakouts.Here at SitBetter.com, we can help you to find the right type of support you need to sit taller, maintain excellent posture throughout the day and alleviate the pain and suffering that come from being behind a desk day in and day out. By buying yourself a new place to sit, you can rejuvenate your body and feel better while being productive at your desk job.
4 Ways You Can Fight Desk Job Fatigue
Desk jobs have become notorious for joint pain, difficulty staying focused for extended periods of time and overall bad health. From hours of sitting, or even standing in uncomfortable areas without the ability to change your posture, you risk weight gain, higher blood pressure and strained joints, causing longer term chronic issues. Likewise, there are now fewer reasons to leave our work station, which has caused us to stay sedentary for longer periods of time, adding to the strain. However, there are easy fixes that allow people to change the way they work to improve their energy and reduce strain to their body.
Here are four easy ways you can quickly improve your health at work.
- Walk to the other office to speak to somebody.
Modern technology has made it easier for people to be lazy at work. Now, with e-mail, instant messaging and other collaboration tools, you never have to leave your desk to work together with another person. But even though the tools are available to make it possible to never leave your desk, that does not mean you should. Whenever you are able, get up and walk to another office to speak with somebody. This change in posture will keep you from falling victim to desk job tire.
The chair in which you sit has a lot to do with how you feel overall. Without the proper lumbar support and ability to move around even while you sit, you risk putting additional unnecessary strain on your joints. There are easy ways to fight a sore back at work simply by switching out the chair you are confined to so many hours of the workday. When searching for a new desk chair, find one that has the back support you need to help you stay sitting up straight, as well as the flexibility you require to be able to move front, back and side to side without limitation so that you can further increase your movement while sitting at your desk.
- Stand frequently.
Standing is a great way to get the blood flowing again. If possible, find a way to stand and work as much as you can. This change in posture puts significantly less strain on your joints, and it actually helps you burn more calories simply by making this small posture adjustment. If your job is one that requires you to stand for extended periods of time, you may also start to feel the solid ground and single position tiring you out. In these situations, try using anti fatigue mats for the workplace to help encourage more blood flow and keep you from becoming tired while working. These are great for people who are sent to assembly lines, service counters and other areas where you are required to stay standing for an extended period of time.
When you are free from the confines of your office and able to get out and about to eat lunch and grab some fresh air, avoid the temptation to do so by sitting down at a fast food restaurant or, even worse, behind your desk. Instead, pack your lunch every day and hit a walking trail. Once you have had your lunch in your car, jump out and start walking. Even a half an hour of movement in the middle of your workday can add up to more energy, more calories burned and more mobility in your joints.
Pain and tiredness are chronic issues experienced by people in desk jobs, where they frequently sit or stand for extended periods of time. By making these four easy switches, you can feel better in no time!

Since I won't be using Retin-a every day, can you please recommend a good anti-wrinkle face cream (preferably for both day and night use)? Also, is it necessary to apply a special eye cream or will the face cream suffice?
Can You Recommend a Good Anti-wrinkle Face Cream for the Days when I Don't Use Retin-A?
Doctor Answers (2)
Since the skin around the eyes has no pores, eye creams are designed to work on the surface of the skin as opposed to being absorbed like a moisturizer. An eye cream specific to your condition is reccomended. SkinMedica TNS serum or Ceramide treatment cream would both compliment your Retin A use as well as the new Regenica from Obagi, which also contains growth factors.
