What do you need to go cruising? Part 4: well... not Stuff.
Most important: getting OUT THERE! CraigsList kayak a bonus.
We have a tendency to want to solve our problems, or seek to actualize our future, by going out and buying things to fix them. Take a look at the market of all things environmental. Does buying something you don't need make you an environmentalist? Mostly, it just makes you a consumer influenced by marketing. Spending money on "stuff" doesn't make you the person you want to be. Planning and acting on your plans go a lot further than discretionary dollars when it comes to realizing your dreams.
So before you buy something that tastes and smells and feels like your cruising dream, consider if it will really help- if it can really bring your dream closer to reality. Sometimes, yes. But I think of the kind of boat a friend referred to as a Dock Queen. All dressed up, but not going anywhere. And the friends with lots of things, but little time to enjoy them.
The truth is, most of the path of acquisition really does feel like a distraction.
So think about it this way. Cruising is a few years away. Is there something you need to replace in your daily life, that can be replaced with something that will later make the transition to your boat? Put the "marine" filter onto the things you do need, and make smarter choices.
Or maybe- maybe, it's not the Stuff at all. Probably the best pre-cruising preparation I had was a couple of weeks of training with Nancy Earley.
Hands-on learning with the patient and knowledgeable Nancy
Nancy leads on-board ISPA certification experiences from her boat, Tethys, on which she has completed two circumnavigations. The time I spent with her was invaluable. I couldn't dock our boat, so we spent hours (and hours, and hours) one day while I made pass after pass until I had it nailed. In my head, in my muscles, and in my heart. She answered all questions, from the inane (I am sure I had them) to those based in fear of the unknown and helped point down the path.
You can have all the right gear, all the right books, but knowledge and confidence are more important than all the Stuff you can buy put together. What are the gaps you need to fill?
6 comments:
Right now we just need to fill in the gaps of our deck that let the rain in. We apparently have A LOT of gaps to fill. It is no fun moving the books and stuffed friends to the floor of the boat when it rains hard.
Yes, I agree with you totally. Our culture thinks that you have to be equipped with all the right stuff to make your life successful. It is not the physical stuff that makes or breaks the deal though. It is what you have in your head and your heart. I just recently blogged about this same thing here.
Thanks for sharing some inspiring posts!- Desiré GraltonMay 3, 2012 at 10:58 PM
Great post again Behan, and on the spot. I think I'm going to need a Nancy too - maybe you can be mine!
Also, you have inspired me to start blogging too. I've done it in my head for years but finally sat down today and put it in writing, and it ties in nicely with what you just said. Just thinking what to call the blog as Zero Gravity is not quite ours just yet!

Separation Anxiety (cont.) Medical Author:

Medical Editor:
David Perlstein, MD, MBA, FAAP
David Perlstein, MD, MBA, FAAPDr. Perlstein received his Medical Degree from the University of Cincinnati and then completed his internship and residency in pediatrics at The New York Hospital, Cornell medical Center in New York City. After serving an additional year as Chief Pediatric Resident, he worked as a private practitioner and then was appointed Director of Ambulatory Pediatrics at St. Barnabas Hospital in the Bronx. IN THIS ARTICLE
Separation Anxiety TreatmentThe child or adolescent and his or her family, school staff, and primary-care physician should work together to design a plan to accomplish a gradual return to developmentally expected function in settings such as school, sports, and social events. It is very important to acknowledge the level of distress that the child or adolescent feels. Utilizing positive reinforcement aids in encouraging the child's return to the feared situation and becoming comfortable with anticipated brief separations from parents and caregivers. Cognitive-behavior therapy, including response prevention and exposure therapy has been shown to be effective, especially in helping the child or adolescent return to normal daily function. Antianxiety medications may be effective but are not U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved for people younger than 18 years of age.

Q: Which is better at preventing cracks in concrete slabs: fiber reinforcement or wire mesh?
We take a close look at handling, cutting, installing, and painting fiber-cement to see how it compares with traditional lap siding.
Plastic, metal and fiber-cement shingles and panels make for durable, fire-resistant roofs — without sacrificing good looks.

Manchester Cabins & M25 Cabins
Portable buildings for hire or sale nationwide
Manchester Cabins and M25 Cabins have over 30 years experience manufacturing and hiring portable buildings. Our range includes offices, canteens, toilets, drying rooms, anti-vandal cabins and storage containers.
All our units are manufactured and maintained at our purpose-built factory in Manchester. We genuinely believe our ability to constantly improve our products with feedback from our hire fleet, gives us an unrivalled advantage.
We are passionate to make hiring as easy as possible, from the first promptly answered phone call through to the collection of the units at the end of hire.
Our fleet of fully equipped Site Service vehicles are ready to respond nationwide to any problems that may arise.
Our fundamental principle is to "treat customers how we would want to be treated". The hire industry is quickly gaining a reputation for dishing out petty end-of-hire cleaning\damage charges. Often these charges are routinely generated to make up for unsustainably low hire rates. We are different, we don't expect the unit to come back spotless and understand there will be some wear and tear. We will charge for damage but I'm sure you'll agree that is only fair.
What our customers say...
P. McGuinness have been dealing with Manchester Cabins for many years and I have personally since 1979. I have always found them to be professional, diligent and cheerful.
D. Duffy, Commercial Manager
I'd like to thank you for your work and commitment... An unmitigated success.
Rhys, BBC
We have to react fast to customers needs and when called upon Manchester Cabins also work quickly and professionally.
Matthew, Garic

What medieval weapon do you think is the best for getting farther into the zed apocalypse? A claymore? A mace/morning star? Warhammer? Spear?

The ramshackle gallows stood in the middle of the boonies we managed to find ourselves in. The thing dangling there immediately started twitching and letting out dry grunts and snarls as I came into its view. The ghoul was more skeleton than anything, but what patches of meat remained was badly burnt from the sun. It must have been there since the start, even might have turned on that rope.
We put the poor sod out of his misery after the rope broke in a puff of dust and he crumpled…

You're trapped in a second story room with a window that doesn't open. There are zeds on the brink of taking the door off of the hinges ( maybe a good fifteen minutes give or take ) and the only other person in the room is a panicking 14 year old whom is on the brink of mental collapse. There is nothing in the room but a closet with a flimsy particle board door, and a vent that one of you could get into using a desk fixed to the floor.

hi thanks for the welcome, hope i can fit in here well what with my fear of zombies lol lets see how i survive this.
The best comment I've seen in a while came from you.
"I just have to say this. I don't think there is much a a difference between you and a zombie. Juggajokes follow the masses of their own kind looking for i.c.p affiliated anything, zombies looks for flesh. Juggleos don't have a mind of your own for i.c.p controls their brain. Juggashams hate everything that isn't them. well I think you get the message. if your not a juggalo then take no offense. if you are well I already know your response"

Really bad problem with MacBook!
've make a very huge mistake with my macbook mid 2010 today :s
i've erased all the HD and then rebooted with the mac osx CD to reinstall the system. But don't know why, i'll get the kernel panic screen, after choosing booting from cd... the same with a HD where i have a copy of the cd, try to boot from there and kernel panic screen apears again. What can i do? I'm really upset with it! Thanks Macrumors Friends for reading!! Regards Sebastian |

Hopefully this thread is the one not getting deleted.
Again, is the DVD the one that came with your 2010 MBP? Do you have access to any other Mac with a Firewire port? Have you tried any of these steps? Mac doesn't boot

yes, i've tried all that stuff, now it's running the internet recovery, i rebooted holding command R, so, let's see, but what did i do wrong?
i've seen a tutorial where the guy erases the HD and then installs osx with no trouble!! |

Anyway, back to the topic and the unanswered questions: What DVD did you use, the one coming with your 2010 MBP? And do you have access to another Mac with a Firewire port? Anyway 2, since Internet Recovery seems to be working, maybe it is all nil anyway, aynway,

Placenta | |
Placenta | |
Human placenta from just after birth with the umbilical cord in place | |
Latin | Placenta |
Precursor | decidua basalis, chorion frondosum |
Code | TE E188.8.131.52.1.0.5 |
The placenta is an organ that connects the developing fetus to the uterine wall to allow nutrient uptake, waste elimination, and gas exchange via the mother's blood supply. Placentas are a defining characteristic of eutherian or "placental" mammals, but are also found in some non-mammals with varying levels of development.[1] Note, however, that the homology of such structures in various viviparous organisms is debatable and, in invertebrates such as Arthropoda, is analogous at best.
The word placenta comes from the Latin word for cake, from Greek plakóenta/plakoúnta, accusative of plakóeis/plakoús – πλακόεις, πλακούς, "flat, slab-like",[2] in reference to its round, flat appearance in humans. The classical plural is placentae, but the form placentas is common in modern English and probably has the wider currency at present.
Prototherial (egg-laying) and metatherial (marsupial) mammals produce a choriovitelline placenta that, while connected to the uterine wall, provides nutrients mainly derived from the egg sac.
The placenta functions as a fetomaternal organ with two components: the fetal placenta (Chorion frondosum), which develops from the same blastocyst that forms the fetus, and the maternal placenta (Decidua basalis), which develops from the maternal uterine tissue.[3]
In humans, the placenta averages 22 cm (9 inch) in length and 2–2.5 cm (0.8–1 inch) in thickness, with the center being the thickest, and the edges being the thinnest. It typically weighs approximately 500 grams (1 lb). It has a dark reddish-blue or crimson color. It connects to the fetus by an umbilical cord of approximately 55–60 cm (22–24 inch) in length, which contains two umbilical arteries and one umbilical vein.[4] The umbilical cord inserts into the chorionic plate (has an eccentric attachment). Vessels branch out over the surface of the placenta and further divide to form a network covered by a thin layer of cells. This results in the formation of villous tree structures. On the maternal side, these villous tree structures are grouped into lobules called cotyledons. In humans, the placenta usually has a disc shape, but size varies vastly between different mammalian species.[5]
The placenta begins to develop upon implantation of the blastocyst into the maternal endometrium. The outer layer of the blastocyst becomes the trophoblast, which forms the outer layer of the placenta. This outer layer is divided into two further layers: the underlying cytotrophoblast layer and the overlying syncytiotrophoblast layer. The syncytiotrophoblast is a multinucleated continuous cell layer that covers the surface of the placenta. It forms as a result of differentiation and fusion of the underlying cytotrophoblast cells, a process that continues throughout placental development. The syncytiotrophoblast (otherwise known as syncytium), thereby contributes to the barrier function of the placenta.
The placenta grows throughout pregnancy. Development of the maternal blood supply to the placenta is complete by the end of the first trimester of pregnancy (approximately 12–13 weeks).
Placental circulation[edit]
Maternal placental circulation[edit]
In preparation for implantation of the blastocyst, the uterine endometrium undergoes "decidualisation". Spiral arteries in decidua are remodeled so that they become less convoluted and their diameter is increased. The increased diameter and straighter flow path both act to increase maternal blood flow to the placenta. The relatively high pressure as the maternal blood fills intervillous space through these spiral arteries bathes the fetal villi in blood, allowing an exchange of gases to take place. In humans and other hemochorial placentals, the maternal blood comes into direct contact with the fetal chorion, though no fluid is exchanged. As the pressure decreases between pulses, the deoxygenated blood flows back through the endometrial veins.
Maternal blood flow is approximately 600–700 ml/min at term.
Fetoplacental circulation[edit]
Deoxygenated fetal blood passes through umbilical arteries to the placenta. At the junction of umbilical cord and placenta, the umbilical arteries branch radially to form chorionic arteries. Chorionic arteries, in turn, branch into cotyledon arteries. In the villi, these vessels eventually branch to form an extensive arterio-capillary-venous system, bringing the fetal blood extremely close to the maternal blood; but no intermingling of fetal and maternal blood occurs ("placental barrier").[6]
Endothelin and prostanoids cause vasoconstriction in placental arteries, while nitric oxide vasodilation.[7] On the other hand, there is no neural vascular regulation, and catecholamines have only little effect.[7]
The perfusion of the intervillous spaces of the placenta with maternal blood allows the transfer of nutrients and oxygen from the mother to the fetus and the transfer of waste products and carbon dioxide back from the fetus to the maternal blood supply. Nutrient transfer to the fetus occurs via both active and passive transport. Active transport systems allow significantly different plasma concentrations of various large molecules to be maintained on the maternal and fetal sides of the placental barrier.[8]
Adverse pregnancy situations, such as those involving maternal diabetes or obesity, can increase or decrease levels of nutrient transporters in the placenta resulting in overgrowth or restricted growth of the fetus.[9]
Waste products excreted from the fetus such as urea, uric acid, and creatinine are transferred to the maternal blood by diffusion across the placenta.
IgG antibodies can pass through the human placenta, thereby providing protection to the fetus in utero.[10] This transfer of antibodies begin as early as the 20th week of gestational age, and certainly by the 24th week.[11] This passive immunity lingers for several months after birth, thus providing the newborn with a carbon copy of the mother's long-term humoral immunity to see the infant through the crucial first months of extrauterine life. IgM, however, cannot cross the placenta, which is why some infections acquired during pregnancy can be hazardous for the fetus.
Furthermore, the placenta functions as a selective maternal-fetal barrier against transmission of microbes. However, insufficiency in this function may still cause mother-to-child transmission of infectious diseases.
Endocrine function[edit]
In humans, aside from serving as the conduit for oxygen and nutrients for fetus, the placenta secretes, from the syncytial layer of chorionic villi, hormones that are important during pregnancy.
- Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG): The first placental hormone produced is hCG, which can be found in maternal blood and urine as early as the first missed menstrual period (shortly after implantation has occurred) through the 100th day of pregnancy. This is the hormone analyzed by pregnancy test; a false-negative result from a pregnancy test may be obtained before or after this period. Women's blood serum will be completely negative for hCG by one to two weeks after birth. hCG testing is proof that all placental tissue is delivered. hCG is present only during pregnancy because it is secreted by the placenta.[12]
hCG also ensures that the corpus luteum continues to secrete progesterone and estrogen. Progesterone is very important during pregnancy because, when its secretion decreases, the endometrial lining will slough off and pregnancy will be lost. hCG suppresses the maternal immunologic response so that placenta is not rejected.
- Human Placental Lactogen (hPL [Human Chorionic Somatomammotropin]): This hormone is lactogenic and growth-promoting properties. It promotes mammary gland growth in preparation for lactation in the mother. It also regulates maternal glucose, protein, and fat levels so that this is always available to the fetus.
- Estrogen: referred to as the "hormone of women" because it stimulates the development of secondary female sex characteristics. It contributes to the woman's mammary gland development in preparation for lactation and stimulates uterine growth to accommodate growing fetus.
- Progesterone: necessary to maintain endometrial lining of the uterus during pregnancy. This hormone prevents preterm labor by reducing myometrial contraction. Levels of progesterone are high during pregnancy.
Cloaking from immune system of mother[edit]
The placenta and fetus may be regarded as a foreign allograft inside the mother, and thus must evade from attack by the mother's immune system.
For this purpose, the placenta uses several mechanisms:
- It secretes Neurokinin B-containing phosphocholine molecules. This is the same mechanism used by parasitic nematodes to avoid detection by the immune system of their host.[13]
- There is presence of small lymphocytic suppressor cells in the fetus that inhibit maternal cytotoxic T cells by inhibiting the response to interleukin 2.[14]
However, the Placental barrier is not the sole means to evade the immune system, as foreign foetal cells also persist in the maternal circulation, on the other side of the placental barrier.[15]
Other functions[edit]
The placenta also provides a reservoir of blood for the fetus, delivering blood to it in case of hypotension and vice versa, comparable to a capacitor.[16]
Placental expulsion begins as a physiological separation from the wall of the uterus. The period from just after the child is born until just after the placenta is expelled is called the "third stage of labor". The placenta is usually expelled within 15–30 minutes of birth.
Placental expulsion can be managed actively, for example by giving oxytocin via intramuscular injection followed by cord traction to assist in delivering the placenta. Alternatively, it can be managed expectantly, allowing the placenta to be expelled without medical assistance. A Cochrane database study suggests that blood loss and the risk of postpartum bleeding will be reduced in women offered active management of the third stage of labour (needs updating).[17]
The habit is to cut the cord immediately after birth, but allegedly there is no medical reason to do that; on the contrary, it is theorized that not cutting the cord helps the baby in its adaptation to extrauterine life, especially in preterm infants[18]
Numerous pathologies can affect the placenta.
- Placenta accreta, when the placenta implants too deeply, into actual muscle of uterine wall)
- Placenta praevia, when the placement of the placenta is too close to or blocks the cervix
- Placental abruption/abruptio placentae
Infections involving the placenta:
- Placentitis, such as the TORCH infections.
- Chorioamnionitis.
Cultural practices and beliefs[edit]
The placenta often plays an important role in various cultures, with many societies conducting rituals regarding its disposal. In the Western world, the placenta is most often incinerated.[19]
Some cultures bury the placenta for various reasons. The Māori of New Zealand traditionally bury the placenta from a newborn child to emphasize the relationship between humans and the earth.[20] Likewise, the Navajo bury the placenta and umbilical cord at a specially chosen site,[21] particularly if the baby dies during birth.[22] In Cambodia and Costa Rica, burial of the placenta is believed to protect and ensure the health of the baby and the mother.[23] If a mother dies in childbirth, the Aymara of Bolivia bury the placenta in a secret place so that the mother's spirit will not return to claim her baby's life.[24]
The placenta is believed by some communities to have power over the lives of the baby or its parents. The Kwakiutl of British Columbia bury girls' placentas to give the girl skill in digging clams, and expose boys' placentas to ravens to encourage future prophetic visions. In Turkey, the proper disposal of the placenta and umbilical cord is believed to promote devoutness in the child later in life. In Ukraine, Transylvania, and Japan, interaction with a disposed placenta is thought to influence the parents' future fertility.
Several cultures believe the placenta to be or have been alive, often a relative of the baby. Nepalese think of the placenta as a friend of the baby; Malaysian Orang Asli regard it as the baby's older sibling. The Ibo of Nigeria consider the placenta the deceased twin of the baby, and conduct full funeral rites for it.[23] Native Hawaiians believe that the placenta is a part of the baby, and traditionally plant it with a tree that can then grow alongside the child.[19] Various cultures in Indonesia, such as Javanese, believe that the placenta has a spirit and needs to be buried outside the family house.
In some cultures, the placenta is eaten, a practice known as placentophagy. In some eastern cultures, such as China and Hong Kong, the dried placenta (紫河車) is thought to be a healthful restorative and is sometimes used in preparations of traditional Chinese medicine and various health products.[25] The practice of human placentophagy has become a more recent trend in western cultures and is not without controversy and its status as cannibalism is debated.

About two weeks ago, the IGI (Institutional Gang Investigator) searched my cell in SHU and confiscated my Bay View newspapers, saying they are contraband if any articles speak on George Jackson or Black August. They said that the newspaper with said articles would be used to re-validate me at my six-year review. I should not be penalized for a newspaper article.

Re: I thought you can add any app to multiview in 4.1.2?
Thanks for that link, Bryan Blake. I may try that in the future, but after flashing the German 4.1.1 and running smoothly for a couple weeks, the other day i spent 12 hours trying to get my GN back to stock U. S. ICS so I can update to JB 4.1.2. I had some problems, had to root, Triangle away to get everything "offical" and reset boundary count, then unroot. Problems along the way. A few factory resets. This was all new to me, but got everything straight now and got the update. I know rooting is easy now, just going to wait awhile before I start messing with that stuff again. Wish they would just do an update to let us do that. If the guys at xda can do it, why can't Samsung or Google?

Pittsburgh Pirates' Travis Snider, left, slides past Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Miguel Montero as the ball skips away to score on a single by Andrew McCutchen in the third inning of a baseball game in Pittsburgh on Tuesday. (AP photo / August 7, 2012) |
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Chris Johnson homered in the eighth and ninth innings Tuesday night, giving him five in eight games since being acquired in a trade, to rally the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 10-4 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Johnson's homer in the eighth carried far over the fence in center field and capped a four-run rally against Jason Grilli (1-4) that put Arizona ahead 7-4. Pittsburgh had just taken a 4-3 lead with two runs in the seventh.
Miguel Montero doubled in a run in the ninth before Johnson hit a two-run homer off Chris Resop to seal the victory for Arizona, which had lost three straight.
Johnson was acquired July 27 in a trade with Houston, where he had eight homers in 92 games.
The Pirates lost for the third time in four games.
Paul Goldschmidt, who doubled twice, and Stephen Drew both had three of the Diamondbacks' 15 hits. Drew homered and drove in two runs.
Brad Ziegler (5-1), who faced one batter and induced an inning-ending double play in the seventh inning, got the win and J.J. Putz worked the ninth in a non-save situation.
Travis Snider had three hits for the Pirates and Andrew McCutchen, who leads the major leagues with a .372 batting average, had two hits and two RBIs. Rookie Starling Marte hit his third home run in 12 games since being recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis and making his major-league debut June 26.

Re: Affinity Luxury Link Credit Card
Hi Everyone,
Just like to add one more consideration if I can. I think it would be a good idea to incorporate somehow insurance coverage when purchasing a package on LL though an LL credit card. For example the Visa Gold offers travel cancellation plus other insurance benefitsfor trips charged on their card to their members.
Being Canadian I also agree with Jashermd, hopefully these cards will not only be available to US residents.
Re: Luxury Link Credit Card
omegaet, do you really need another credit card? I know I have my mail box jammed with new credit offers almost daily. Since this is your idea, do you supposed luxury link will issue you card#1, when they get ready?
Re: Luxury Link Credit Card
Hi tictoc
Like you, I stay away from all new credit card offers like the plague. Personally, use only one card (Amex) for the air miles it gets me, so my wife and I can fly to exotic places in different parts of the world. Since all credit cards charge usurously high interest on unpaid balances, I make it a practice never to have a balance.
If LL issues a card of its own, it'd have to have some unusually good features/benefits for me to join in.

The idea is a good one. However, there are a lot of LL-ers who do not live in the USA. Since LL is based in the USA, it's likely that the card will be affiliated to a US Bank, andtherefore credit checks can only be performed on people who reside in the US. In my case, I used to live in the US, still have a home there and a bank account, so I could probably get one, and wonderful (!) since the pound is doing so well against the dollar, paying my bill would be great. There are others, however, who would not be able to take advantage of this facility, so is it fair to offer a facility that not everyone can use??
Re: Luxury Link Credit Card
bdsouza....my suggestion is given for the consideration of improving the loyalty of luxury link clients (many of whom, but certainly not all,are probably US based). If I were the CEO of the company, and reviewed the demographics of my purchasers, and realized most of my "buyers" and most of my visitors were US based, I would probably consider the development of an affinity credit card with a US bank and institute a"perks" program for users of the card,directly relatingto benefits for future Luxury Link purchases (trips or merchandise).The only limitations for issuance would be those imposed by the issuing bank(which would likely restrict usage by non-residents). Depending on your perspective, this may be fair or unfair....however, the ultimatedecision will be astrategic onemade by Luxury Link management. It may be their decision to disregard my suggestion in favor of not possibly alienating those customers unable to participate.
Irealize "my view" is self serving and for that, I apologize.
Let me add, for the benefit of my off shore colleagues, I would enjoy theenviable position of buying auction items from this web site with astronger currencies than my US dollars...Sterling and Euros come to mind.
I will remain a client, regardless of the outcome of this suggestion.

Re: Luxury Link Credit Card
As a fellow UK resident I agree with BDSouza -- non-US residents often get shortchanged by US-based loyalty programmes. I banked my Virgin miles with Continental so I could combine them with my Continental mileage to obtain elite status...only to discvoer that elite upgrades are only available when flying out of US airports, something which was not mentioned on any of their documentation (I believe it's been added since after I wrote several emails to the people concerned). Needless to say I was not happy And from now on my miles are staying with Virgin.
From a strategic standpoint it depends whether LL wants to push into the UK/European market or not. Not many people over here know about LL, and given that we find US dollar pricing very attractive it would make sense to want to move into this market...but that would mean LL needs to position itself to attract European customers.
Personally, I hope that LL does both -- create a US-based programme for US customers and a European one for EU customers. Then we can all reap the benefits!

I agree 100% that any company has to consider the marketplace in which it operates, and the demographics of its client base. If there is sufficient interest from either continent, then it should be relatively simple to affiliate the credit card to one or more banks. One last thing, I have noticed that several of the European prices are now priced higher in US Dollars than they were a few months ago - makes sense because the 'price' that LL has to guarantee is based on a dollar rate, since the transactions are charged to the account in dollars. So, if a European package, for example is 'sold' to LL with a minimum value of 500, this would translate into $675. We would bid on anything over $675, which, for the Europeans would get changed back to Euros. The advantage would be if there was an exchange rate fluctuation before the credit card bill became due. At most this might be a difference of around 5%, since european banks are allowed to charge up to +/- 5% of LIBOR by law. Like the others, I would remain a customer regardless.
Just to be picky (and it is nothing to do with LL, of course)the difference in price for europeans travelling to the USA is at least $200 more off-peak, and up to $400 during the summer. Strange, since the x-rate for the dollar is much better for europeans, yet we all 'understand' it's in response to market forces...
I agree with jashermd that it might be interesting to have a european base. There are some websites that offer a similar facility in europe. However, the only way to find out if there is a market for it is to do the research. Fora like this, help initiate this process.

On June 2, Green Opportunities will be raffling an electric bicycle at Burton Street Community Day. The raffle begins now until June 2 at six o'clock pm. The electric bicycle comes from Fast Lane Electric Bikes which had its grand opening in the River Arts District on Saturday May 12, 2012. They will also be selling raffle tickets.
The electric bike being raffled, called a Stromer, is considered one of the highest quality electric bikes currently on the market. "It's one of the more popular electric bikes in Europe," said Brent Meyers, director of sales for Legacy E-Ride, which distributes the electric bikes in the United States. This bike is valued at $3,299. Fur Banks, co-owner of Fast Lane Electric Bikes, calls the bike "bridging the gap between bike and scooter, allowing you to get somewhere and get some exercise without being totally sweaty."
The raffle will take place at 6:45pm on June 2 at Burton Street Community Center. It is part of the Burton Street Community Day presented by GO. Additional sponsors for the event include Asheville Parks & Recreation, Open Doors, Moog Foundation, and Urban Arts Institute. In addition to the raffle drawing, the event includes a talent showcase with special guests, a breakdancing workshop, a basketball tournament, a performance by Urban Arts Institute, an inflatable bounce house provided by Par-T-Perfect, a silent auction, food catered by GO Kitchen Ready, and a dance party with DJ Ozo.
This event is free and open to all ages. Proceeds from the raffle go to benefit Green Opportunities.
Green Opportunities is a community-based development organization dedicated to improving lives, communities, and the health of the planet through innovative green collar job training and placement programs. GO is committed to empowering low-income neighborhoods in Asheville by preparing residents for well-paying jobs, completing hands-on projects that make these neighborhoods safer and more environmentally sustainable, and linking the residents of these neighborhoods to job and other community resources that lead to greater empowerment.

A Hilton family hopes that someone who hears their story will help them find a way to save their one year old chihuahua named Mia.
Mia was born with a cleft palate. The Rogers have spent $30,000 to have her undergo seven surgeries to try and correct the problem. The surgeries worked only temporarily and Mia still cannot eat and drink normally.
They say through it all, she never lost her will to live and is a playful, happy puppy.
Sue Rogers thought it was almost over after Mia's last illness. "I brought her back to Rochester emergency. I wanted to give her one more night," said Sue Rogers. "If she got worse we would've euthanized her because I don't want her to suffer. Two days later, she was playing. She's just beaten every odd."
"The dog has picked to live," said Gary Rogers. "If the dog doesn't give up, why should we?"
The Rogers worry without help, Mia will eventually die from complications of pneumonia.
"I'm hoping somebody out there, maybe even a human plastic surgeon coming together with a veterinarian, can come up with a plan to fix this puppy's mouth," said Sue. "It doesn't make any sense to me that we can figure out how to put a man on the moon, but we can't figure out how to close a tiny hole on the roof of a dog's mouth." The Rogers are also hoping in saving their Chihuahua, others might learn from her case. You can contact the Rogers through Mia's websiteor Facebook page.

Editor Illinois General Assembly 217/785-2254 ilga.gov/commission/jcar -1- LOBBYIST REGISTRATION The SECRETARY OF STATE adopted amendments to "Lobbyist Registra-tion and Reports" (2 Ill Adm Code 560; 35 Ill Reg 1870), effective 7/18/11. A companion emergency rulemaking became effective 1/21/11 and expired on 6/19/11. The rulemaking imple-ments reform measures enacted by Public Act 96-555 and Public Act 96- 1358 that amended the Lobbyist Reg-istration Act. The amendments have an extensive inventory of those posi-tions qualifying as an "official" (e.g., the constitutional officers and various staff members within their offices and executive directors and general coun-sel for various boards and commis-sions). Lobbyists registering indepen-dently with the SOS Index Department will be presumed to be the "autho-rized agent" required to keep copies of expenditure and registration records. A new example of a firm not required to register under the Act is given (e.g., a group of physicians prepares a report on a particular medi-cal issue, and their contact with offi-cials is limited to an explanation of the medical subject matter). A person claiming an exemption from registra-tion must complete a statement of exemption, certify that he or she is not required to register under the Act, and include the particular basis for exemp-tion along with identifying informa-tion. Also, lobbying entities must in-form their clients of the requirement to register or file an exemption state-ment. Registered persons have a con-tinuing duty to report any substantial change in the information, must affirm under oath the accuracy of all reports filed within the last 6 months, and complete ethics training provided by the SOS no later than 30 days after registration or renewal. Beginning 1/ 1/11, semi-monthly expenditure re-ports are required. Gifts made to offi-cials on the basis of personal friend-ship are added to the list of expendi-tures that must be reported by lobby-ists, and the report exemption for expenditures of $100 or less is stricken. Also, any official named in an expen-diture report who did not receive no-tification from the registered lobbyist, or who has returned or reimbursed the reported expenditure, may at any time contest the disclosure of the expendi-ture by submitting a letter to the reg-istered lobbyist and the SOS. The rulemakings additionally increase an- STATE VEHICLES The DEPARTMENT OF CENTRAL MANAGEMENT SERVICES proposed amendments to "State Vehicles and Garage" (44 Ill Adm Code 5040; 35 Ill Reg 12592) altering State vehicle us-age and vehicle replacement policy. Requests for vehicle acquisitions must be justified based upon work needs. State vehicles must be purchased only when that is the lowest cost alternative for the State and vehicles will be fully utilized in terms of business mileage. Factors determining which transpor-tation option is cheaper will vary de-pending on the cost of fuel and the cost of purchasing State vehicles ver-sus the cost of reimbursing State em-ployees for use of private vehicles. Additional factors used in determin-ing whether purchase of a vehicle is efficient are annual overall miles, an-nual business miles, percentage of commuting miles (if applicable), cargo, passenger load, or other spe-cial equipment or needs. A "break-even mileage reference point" will be maintained by the Department for use in determining efficient vehicle pur-chase decisions. The Department manager of vehicles may grant excep-
