Ben made an executive decision that the wind would be too strong on that side of the island so we deviated and came back to the south side, now on route to Cala Mitjiana.

If you can't fight and you can't flee, flow. – Robert Eliot
Too often, we men have lived with a single answer to every situation: win. We saw our friendships in competitive terms, so we couldn't let our guard down. We looked at life as a challenge to be conquered rather than something to be enjoyed. Therefore, our first impulse was to fight and come out a winner. Many of us have played life like a game with only winners and losers, and we have neglected the deeper meaning in our experiences. Living that way, many of us have felt like losers.
We all experience moments when a situation is much more powerful than we are. Those moments feel like defeat unless we allow them to open a whole new viewpoint on our lives. When we can flow with a situation, which will have its own way anyhow, we have become more mature men. We can breathe a sigh of relief because much of the tension in our lives is reduced when we stop trying to conquer every moment and instead simply flow with it.
Today, I will practice playing a new game of flowing and thereby deepen my awareness of life.

The 10.2-inch Milano doesn't break any new netbook ground, but it's not without its charms either. It's cheap for one thing, although you wouldn't know that by looking at it, and its nearly full-size keyboard is comfortable to type on. Its matte display is also pleasing, appearing crisp and bright in all lighting conditions Read more

Acer Aspire One D250 review
The 10.1-inch Aspire One D250 netbook fixes some of the most serious flaws of its predecessor, the D150 -- the touchpad buttons are greatly improved and it sports a thinner, lighter design. While there's nothing ground-breaking on offer here, it's a respectable netbook nonetheless Read more

Americans Reject Tailored Advertising: Study Contradicts Claims by Marketers
Wednesday, September 30, 2009
Contrary to what many marketers claim, most Americans do not want online advertisements tailored by marketers to their specific interests. That's a conclusion from a new consumer privacy study by the Berkeley Center for Law & Technology at UC Berkeley School of Law (Berkeley Law), and the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania. The report,
Americans Reject Tailored Advertising
shows that 66 percent of adults said no to tailored ads. Not only that, when informed of specific behavioral targeting techniques that marketers employ to create the ads, even higher percentages— between 73 percent and 86 percent—oppose tailored advertising. Those techniques include tracking behavior on websites and in retail stores.
The study is the first nationally representative telephone survey that explores Americans' opinions about behavioral targeting, a controversial issue now under scrutiny by the Federal Trade Commission and government policymakers. Behavioral targeting involves two types of activities: following consumers' actions and then tailoring advertisements for the consumers based on those actions.
While privacy advocates have lambasted behavioral targeting for tracking and labeling people in ways they do not know or understand, marketers have defended the practice by insisting it gives Americans what they want: advertisements and other forms of content that are as relevant to their lives as possible. Not so, according to lead author
Professor Joseph Turow
of the Annenberg School. "This study finds that in high percentages, Americans stand on the side of privacy advocates," said Prof. Turow.
Although the study found that younger American adults are less likely to reject tailored advertising, more than half (54 percent) of 18- 24 year-olds rejected it. Prof. Turow noted that "contrary to consistent assertions by marketers, young adults have as strong an aversion to being followed online as do older adults."
The Berkeley-Annenberg team found that 92 percent of those polled agree there should be a law that requires websites and advertising companies to delete all stored information about an individual, if requested to do so. Sixty-three percent believe advertisers should be legally required to delete information about their internet activity immediately, whether requested or not.
According to co-author Jennifer King, a former research fellow with Berkeley Law, "When it comes to privacy and the internet, many Americans think they have far more protections than the law actually offers them. This is a strong signal to regulators that more clarity is needed regarding how the public's information is protected online."
Study co-author Chris Hoofnagle, a lecturer and research fellow at Berkeley Law, said the findings show a disconnect between American consumers and marketers. "Marketers will have to take significant steps to overcome consumer discomfort with tailored advertising."
The report will be discussed by co-authors Hoofnagle and Turow at the
New York University School of Law's Workshop on Federal Privacy Legislation
on Friday, October 2, 2009.

CHENANGO COUNTY, N.Y. -- The Village of Oxford's Board of Trustees has approved the first hydrofracking ban on record in Chenango County. The zoning ordinance was passed in a four to one vote that bans gas exploration, extraction and disposal within the village.
The board had attempted to vote on the moratorium in December last year, but efforts were put on hold after drilling proponents threatened to sue. This time, the board was able to move forward with the vote, claiming the village zoning laws already prohibited gas drilling. The Village of Oxford is now the only municipality in the county to have a ban in place. According to Fracktracker.org, there are currently 11 other towns in the county that are pushing for similar moratoriums or bans.

That was another war grossly mismanaged by an incompetant Democrat CIC, along with his bean counter McNamara. Neither knew whether they should scratch their watches or wind up their butts.

Veterans´ Day, November 11, used to be known as Armistice Day.

God bless you, #3. I´m sad to hear that.I have a deep appreciation, respect, and love for all of our veterans, but our Viet Nam Veterans hold a special place in my heart.Coming of age during that time, seeing first-hand the counterculture movement, and how our Viet Nam heroes were treated, made me realize the possibilty that what we see happening to our country today could actually happen - that we could be destroyed from within our own borders by our own citizens.

Hi friends, as you can see from the picture I have pretty severe looking scars on my shoulders/back. I jsut finished my accutane 6 month course and It has completely cleared up my face, which I'm happy with. However, would have been more happy if my back and shoulders were better as well.
Can anyone suggest any short-term fixes where I could maybe cover up these scars with some sort of concealer or make-up products? Also if you have any suggestions concercing treatments that could possibly improve the overall look of the situation, I would be happy to read and try your suggestions.
Scarring On Back/shoulders - Effective Treatment / Short-Term Fixes?
Posted 17 June 2013 - 05:56 AM
Posted 17 June 2013 - 08:00 AM
The pink hyperpigmentation will fade with use of a Retinoid or AHA product. White pigmented scars usually take a very very long time to fade. I wouldn't go wearing makeup there, especially since it's summertime because it more than likely will cause breakouts.
Posted 17 June 2013 - 09:03 AM
Cosign w/melmel... AHA will help tremendously w/hyper pigmentation... You should cover your back as much as possible while use AHA, as it will make you photosensitive and make the scarring appear darker... In a few months, you'll be clear of the hyper pigmentation but now it's a matter of prevention... Good luck and keep us up to date on your progress...

Missouri files for No Child Left Behind exemption
Eleven states have been issued waivers from some provisions of the federal No Child Left Behind Act, but Missouri was not one of them. But as Maria Altman reports, the State Board of Education is trying to change that.
Missouri has until next Tuesday to get its application into the U.S. Department of Education.
Margie Vandeven with the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education said one goal is to focus more on helping schools than sanctioning them.
She said the lowest-performing buildings would be given priority with more funding and attention on how to better learning.
"The bottom line is student learning and the sense around the interventions would be focused on the instructional strategies required to help students learn in a variety of manners," she said.
Missouri should learn late this spring whether its application has been granted.

Rectangular enclosure for spool tags does not adjust automatically, is there a setting for this that i can deal with.
Solved! Go to Solution.
i have the exact same issue.
where is the support for the new version of isometrics? getting rid of spoolgen was bad enough but there is so little help with the new format.
No resizable enclosure styles are exposed from annotaiton setup in project properties. To use such style, 'IsoConfig.xml' has to be edited manually. Find annotation defintion for 'Spool" and change AnnotationStyle="Rectangle"to AnnotationStyle="SRectangle". SRectangle is a style defined with resizable block.
<PropertyChangeScheme Name="SpoolNumber" AnnotationStyle="SRectangle" Format="{0}" Enabled="true" Grouping="false" Tag="XX" Alignment="FlatHorizontal" LeaderStyle="AsNeeded" Filter="NotBoltWeldFlangeGasket" Field="SpoolNumber" Placement="Along" />
why in the world would the default not be set to "SRectangle"? that is just silly.

TEAMS: San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, Seattle Seahawks, St. Louis Rams, Arizona Cardinals
San Francisco 49ers
It was an old school game of tit-for-tat between the 49ers and Seahawks this offseason, and I think the defending NFC champions won the battle. Note the word battle .
There's actually a season to be played. The rich got richer and San Francisco beefed up any holes on the roster, while adding depth at key positions and replacing the valuable contributors that they lost in free agency.
Dashon Goldson goes to Tampa Bay? They draft Eric Reid, the talented safety out of LSU in the first round. Ricky Jean-Francois and Isaac Sopoaga both left this offseason, but they brought in Glenn Dorsey and drafted three rookies: Tank Carradine, Quinton Dial and Corey Lemonier. Anquan Boldin has at least another great year in him and they only gave up a sixth round-pick to acquire him. Nnamdi Asomugha for $3 million is a great pickup, too.
What I love most about this 49ers offseason, though, is how hard the quarterback is working to get even better. Colin Kaepernick's dedicated his offseason to football, not photo shoots or dating models, and has taken a few of his younger, unproven wide receivers under his wing. 2012 first-round pick A.J. Jenkins and Kaepernick spent the offseason working out in Atlanta. This team is loaded with talent and they'll only get better this spring.
Grade: A+
Seattle Seahawks
The Seahawks were a last-minute Matt Ryan game-winning drive away from the NFC Championship Game a season ago.
Instead of standing pat, they went out and brought in several veteran reinforcements to help them get over the hump in 2013.
They exchanged a first-round pick and a big-money contract for Percy Harvin prior to the start of the NFL's free-agency signing period. Then they brought in pass rushers Michael Bennett and Cliff Avril. Harvin is a gamebreaker who'll open up a wide-open Seattle offense even more, but I think the Avril and Bennett signings could potentially impact this team even more.
The defensive backfield, arguably the best in the league, now has two additional players in the front seven who will apply pressure to the quarterback. This was a very good team a season ago. With the additions they made this offseason, they're in position to be great.
Grade: A
St. Louis Rams
While the 49ers and Seahawks dominated the headlines this offseason, the Rams quietly upgraded their roster, too. I love the signings of both Jared Cook and Jake Long and I think the Rams had one of the best draft classes in the entire league.
Tavon Austin is a guy several teams wanted. The Rams were able to trade up to get him and still land Alec Ogletree, the top inside linebacker in this draft class, at 30th overall. Third-day selection Zac Stacy, a dynamic running back out of Vanderbilt, could not only make the team, but compete for the starting job in training camp. The loss of Steven Jackson's leadership and consistency will hurt and Danny Amendola was a go-to player when he was on the field. But I think the Rams offense, with the additions of Cook, Long, Austin, Stacy and even third-day pick Stedman Bailey, will offset those losses.
The defense was good already. The Rams went 1-0-1 against Kaepernick last year. (The first game, a 24-24 tie, was the game Kaepernick replaced an injured Alex Smith and took over the job for good.) The defense got better this offseason. You won't hear much about them because of all the noise around the Seahawks and 49ers, but I love the direction the Rams are headed.
Grade: A
Arizona Cardinals
It's tough to grade the Cardinals objectively without looking over their shoulders and seeing what their NFC West cohorts did this offseason. It'll be a steep, uphill climb for head coach Bruce Arians and GM Steve Keim, but they made several under-the-radar moves that are steps in the right direction.
The Cardinals offense was a nightmare last season, primarily on the offensive line.
They addressed the interior with Jonathan Cooper -- a player some folks had as the top talent in this draft -- at seventh overall, but I'm not sure they did enough outside of Cooper this offseason.
Carson Palmer, if healthy and happy, is an upgrade from the hodge podge they had at quarterback last season. But if he's not protected by a serviceable offensive line, I fear for his safety. Drew Stanton and Brian Hoyer are solid backups. I like Kevin Minter, the linebacker out of LSU, a bit more than Tyrann Mathieu, the player who'll generate all the headlines.
Grade: B

So there we were at the dinner table several days ago — me, my 20-year-old daughter Eleanor and my dad Sam, who is 86.
We dwell in the semi-remote, cable-free section of Lake County around Lake Jem, and we were talking about a horse that ended up in my dad's yard earlier that day.
The neighbors corralled it. Problem solved.
When you live in the more distant environs of Lake, you come to expect a few wildlife visitors. Take the alligator that made himself at home in my garage a few years ago. He wasn't more than 3 or 4 feet long, so I snatched up a broom and swept him out the door. In a huff, he trundled off through the rain.
Then there was my daytime coyote sighting last month in a nearby grove. She was sleek and well fed, with a bushy tail — and she had a face with an expression identical to that of my own Canis lupus familiaris, an evil little herding dog named Lola who was walking with me at the time. Suddenly, a lot about Lola's personality began to make sense.
The coyote and I stopped and stared, stunned, at one another for nearly 15 seconds before she turned and walked away. Lola never even noticed her. So much for keen canine perception.
Even folks in the more populated areas of Lake tend to run up against nature every once in a while.
Lake Sentinel Editor Jerry Fallstrom started hearing scratchy noises in the kitchen of his Howey-in-the-Hills home in the evening a few years ago. At first, he sloughed it off. After all, the TV was blaring away, and it could have been anything.
Then, he started counting household noses, including two on the faces of his Bichon and his Dachshund mix who were unenthusiastic about providing home security. All accounted for, right there in the living room. Uh-oh. He went to the kitchen and glimpsed the shadow of a critter slinking back into the basement of his 1920s house.
Later — after he'd adeptly cornered the visitor with baby gates and thrown a garbage can over top of him — Jerry figured out that the opossum had barged through mesh covering a hole to the basement and then came upstairs to the dog-bowl smorgasbord when he was hungry.
Bye-bye, 'possum. He went to live in a nice field just south of Howey.
So the other evening, after the equine adventure, while the family was chowing down on chili and brown rice, I started reminding Eleanor and my dad of the time the neighbor's draft horse and Arabian got out at night.
After hearing some pretty forceful clumping on my back porch about 10 p.m. — a draft horse has hooves the size of a dinner plate after all — I found a horse's snout pushed against my sliding glass door, staring in, apparently waiting for an invitation to come into the living room.
Her companion was running frantically around the yard, blowing and snorting. Whoo-hoo! Midnight roundup! And I was wearing my very fetching aqua jammies decorated with festive pink flamingos.
Before I got far into this dinnertime tale, Eleanor interrupted me with a cry of astonishment.
And no wonder. An obviously agitated back Angus cow had just trotted up the sidewalk in front of the dining-room window, heading for the front door. Then, she veered off and loped toward County Road 448 on a collision course with a black dual-wheel pickup whose driver honked at her. Standing on the front porch in stocking feet, I wondered whether we'd be throwing a neighborhood barbecue that night. Nope. She stopped.
Then, one of the neighbors, who also trotted up, informed us that he'd noticed the cow devouring the landscape plants around his house. It was all good till she recalled that she'd left her calf behind. That's when she got a nervous and started covering ground. Unfortunately, she chose the wrong direction.
No sweat. The ol' girl made a single round of the front yard, trotted out the gate and headed back to the spot in the fence where she'd made her escape. Mom and mini-mooer were reunited. My dad went back to the table to finish up his chili.
And Lola? Somehow missed seeing the whole thing.
And so, that's how 2013 started at the Ritchie Resort & Sunshine Sanatorium. How is it where you live? Do you ever have critter encounters? Let me hear from you.
email@example.com. Her blog is online at http://www.orlandosentinel.com/laurenonlake. Lauren invites you to join her on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/laurenonlake.

Mt father was Polish – he came New Zealand post-war where he met and married my mother. His mother's name was Rozalia. My parents would have liked to have given me that name….but…they felt New Zealanders wouldn't be able to pronounce it (probably true at that time) . So they combined a bit of my mother's Irish heritage, a bit of the Polish and gave me Rosalene. I'm rarely called that – mostly Ros, or Rossi to people who know me well.

My mother told me that my father named me after a popular song "Sweet Lorraine." I haven't thought about it since before the age of internet so I only listened to the song for the first time today. It originated in 1928, but I was probably named after the King Cole Trio or Erroll Garner versions of 1945. The Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole versions were after I was born. (But I like the Patty Griffin revision the best.)

At Susquehanna, performance halls and large rehearsal venues are graced with beautiful instruments, including concert 9-foot Steinway grand pianos in Stretansky Concert Hall and Weber Chapel Auditorium; one concert 9-foot Baldwin grand in Degenstein Campus Theater and one Steinway B piano in Heilman Rehearsal Hall.
Instruments accessible to the music students include eight grand pianos in the practice spaces and classrooms—three Steinways, one Boston Steinway and four Baldwins. Keyboard majors have exclusive access to three of the grand pianos. Students also benefit from the Steinway grand pianos in the faculty studios that are used for practice, lessons and musical rehearsals.
Double Manual Flemish Harpsichord, Stretansky Hall, CCMA.
(Frank Hubbard, Boston 1976)
With the typical Flemish decorations, this harpsichord is a modern copy of instruments made by the 17th Century Antwerp builder Ruckers, featuring two keyboards with Taskin ravallement. Frank Hubbard (Boston) built the instrument as commissioned by the late Richard N. Barshinger, its first owner. The instrument has three choirs (8'+8'+4') and two manuals with ebony naturals and bone accidentals. It is strung for A 440, but also tunable at A 415, with a range of 61 notes (FF-f"'). The case has a dark green merde d'oie lacquered finish, gilded banding and trim, full Flemish papers, Latin mottoes and arabesques.
Ruggles Organ
Cunningham Center for Music and Arts, Room 136
(Ruggles, Opus 27, 1996)
The organ in Cunningham Center for Music and Art, Room 136, was built in 1996 by Charles M. Ruggles. This organ was designed as a practice instrument, featuring some historical elements not found in the other university organs: the pedal board is flat and non-radiating and the tuning is Young (1800). The instrument contains six ranks (one reed, a Regal 8') and two 56-note manuals, plus a 30-note pedal board. The organ has suspended mechanical action with slider chests. The beautiful casework of solid cherry and redwood features panels cut out in designs inspired by English crop circles. This instrument was purchased with a grant awarded by the Edna M. Sheary Charitable Trust.
The Dobson Organ
Horn Meditation Chapel
(Dobson, Opus 33, 1986)
The organ in Horn Meditation Chapel was built in 1986 by Lynn Dobson. This is his thirty-third instrument, and his first instrument in Pennsylvania.
The organ contains seven ranks and two manuals, plus a 32‐note concave pedal board (AGO standards). A Tremulant, which affects the entire organ, and an octave transmission of the pedal 16' stop at 8' give the organ a total of nine stops. The horizontal movement of the stop mechanism is unique to Dobson organs. The instrument has mechanical action, the action which characterized pipe organ building prior to the advent of electricity and an action to which pipe organ builders have returned in recent decades because of its sensitivity. The organ is tuned in Kirnberger III, an eighteenth-century well-tempered tuning, in which all but four fifths are pure. This instrument is a memorial to Solveig Wald Horn and to James M. Horn, wife and son of John C. Horn, chair emeritus of the university's Board of Directors. It was made possible by major gifts from the Horn family and the Women's Auxiliary of Susquehanna University.
The Möller Organ
Weber Chapel
(Möller, Opus 10030, 1967)
The organ in Weber Chapel was built in 1967 by the M. P. Möller Pipe Organ Company of Hagerstown, Md., and received extensive renovation by Columbia Organ Works in 1999. Originally, the instrument had electric-pneumatic action; at the 1999 renovation it was transformed into direct electrical action. The instrument contains 46 ranks and three manuals (58 notes), plus a 32-note concave pedal board (AGO standards). In 2005, the console was rebuilt with new bone and ebony keyboards. In addition, a solid state switching system and multi-level combination action was installed (130 levels). The console is on a moveable platform which allows it to be placed in the center of the chancel for organ recitals and concerts. This organ was built with funds raised by the Women's Auxiliary of Susquehanna University.
