Re: Who knows about cheap flights ?
Wish you could stop by and pick me up Bob.
I've been talking to Gray Cub about it some, he's afraid of heights but thinks he might be able to do it for $50 bucks.

Hey Bob, I like Jet Blue and Southwest, not sure if they go where you arre headed though. I have done OK with Cheap Air in the past too. Have fun and good luck.

Re: Who knows about cheap flights ?
I don't fly often- but I enjoy it. Southwest had by far the best offer when I flew one-way to Philly to pickup a vehicle to be driven back to NC. The fare was less than 10% of the cost of the highest quoted fare. Perhaps that was Delta, don't remember for certain. The Southwest flight left within one minute of the scheduled departure time.

Re: Who knows about cheap flights ?
A quick browse of the internet travel sites show Delta with the fewest connections, and most of the fares fall into the $400 to $500 range. I'm going to say that's about average for that time of year. This is what I recommend to folks that ask me about traveling, and there's probably others on here that travel on an expense account, (Wisconsin Mike?). Do an internet search of airlines that service Providence, RI to Valdosta, GA. Look for the fewest stops and the most frequency. Then, go to that particular airlines web site and do your shopping. Fewer stops=less opportunity for your luggage to have a vacation on it's own.
More frequency= better chance of getting where you wanted to go in case of delay, or cancellation. I would generally say those two points are worth paying a little extra for...."little" being the key word. Travel agents? They can be very helpful, but keep in mind, they have to make money too. Their routing isn't always the most convenient, or cheapest available to the person actually paying for the ticket. It may just be what gets them the most commission. Also, I'm not 100% sure that Southwest Airlines participates in the online fare comparison sites. You may have to go directly to their website. Flexible travel days are a big bonus. +/- a day or two on each end may add up to some real savings. Happy hunting.....and you are wise to start your shopping now. Hope it works out. See you at DSCF.
Re: Who knows about cheap flights ?
For most any trip, I start by using ITA Software to do a search.
I have found lower American prices on there than I have using AA's site directly (although the fare has always exested on AA when I look for the exact flight). They have made some recent changes that must be some sort of improvement but just seem to make it more complicated. Not sure they can look at Southwest, so check there separately.
Re: Who knows about cheap flights ?
One more comment. You usually get much cheaper tickets if you can stay with the major airports. For example, right now the cheapest ITA gives for your chosen dates is $522. If you go with a trip from Providence to Atlanta, you can get one for $357 (Delta Airlines in both cases). The $165 ticket difference is a trade off with the 250 miles distance between the two airports.
Lots of nonstop flights to Atlanta (duration about 2:45). Flights to Valdosta almost all stop in Atlanta (maybe others) and have total durations from about 5:00 and up. So continuing on to Valdosta won't even save you that much time.
Re: Who knows about cheap flights ?
I've had good results with kayak.com. It will compare the prices of many airlines against each other and will include the results of other discount travel websites (priceline, hotwire, etc). It doesn't include southwest airlines (maybe others).

The Rigel Quikfinder is a lightweight reflex system that works perfectly with the Astroscan or most other telescopes.
It works as a zero-power finder that projects 1/2 and 2 degree red circles onto the night sky. The Quikfinder is actually easier to calibrate and aim than the finderscopes on most telescopes.
The Quikfinder comes with two bases that can be attached to the telescope and the Quikfinder simply clips onto. Quikfinder also has a pulsed or continuous circle illumination as well as brightness control. Rugged construction, ultra efficient LED, and lithium battery (included) for a long life.
Needs no drilling and is easily removed from the baseplate. Baseplate is 2.5" long, 2" wide, and 1/2" high. Quikfinder is 4.5" tall and 1.4" square.
Optical Design: Reflex, Zero Magnification
"... Rugged and simple to use... It is the only unit tested that has a blinking reticle. A tiny knob next to the on-off/brightness control varies the rate from about one pulse per second to an attention getting flicker. At first I felt this feature might be a gimmick, but it proved its worth in the field. I could keep the reticle nice and bright and still see dim stars that disappeared under a constant setting."

Thankfully, this is the last post you'll have to read predicting how a Texans game will play out this year. After today's game in Nashville, the Texans are giving us the best Christmas gift of all...
Mr. T should be delivering this week's edition of "Three and Out" for Texans-Broncos on Battle Red Blog. "Prediction? PAIN."
Am I bold and/or dumb enough to predict that the Houston Texans will snap two eleven (11!) game losing streaks simultaneously against the Colts in Indianapolis tomorrow? There's only one way to...
2-10 meets 3-9 when the Houston Texans play the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday Night Football this evening. This set of predictions only hopes to match the magnitude of that game.
When it comes to the Houston Texans, I'm a pretty illogical guy. But can I really pick them to upset the Patriots tomorrow to improve to 3-9? Spoiler alert: Wait, you should probably read the post...
With all that's happened to the Houston Texans, can I really predict them to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars in Houston? My head says no. My heart says I should drink more. See how that dynamic...
The "three" in "Three And Out" works on multiple levels. It's one more than the number of wins the 2013 Houston Texans currently have. Will that still be the case after the Texans host the Raiders...
This predictions schtick ain't working too well for me or the 2-6 Houston Texans. Time to change the vibe for this week's crystal ball edition of Texans-Cardinals.
If there's a Houston Texans game, there's a "Three and Out" on Battle Red Blog. Read all about one moron's predictions for Texans-Colts on Sunday Night Football.
Make predictions about Case Keenum's first NFL start and a handful of other things about the Texans' Week Seven game against the Chiefs? Don't mind if I do.

The Asus MeMo Pad 8 is an affordable slate with tons of features, but if performance is king, faster options can be had for only $30 more.
Though it's one of this year's better Android phones on paper, the OnePlus One isn't for everyone, nor is it readily available.
If you're looking for more than just a simple snapshot experience from a compact zoom camera, the Canon PowerShot SX700 HS should be on your short list, despite a couple shortcomings.

While the SRS-X7 can't beat the performance of competitors like the Bose SoundLink III, it's a nice portable wireless speaker that offers the flexibility of both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity.
Even with all of its extra features, skip the Yujin Robot iClebo Arte if stellar performance is your top goal.
The Lifx shows great potential and powerful performance, but it isn't smart enough to compete with the Philips Hue line quite yet. Wait for this smart bulb to gain a few IQ points before making a purchase.
The Samsung SmartCam HD Pro is a very good IP camera, but Dropcam Pro still has it beat in terms of durability, app design, and overall video quality.
With gestures, theme customization, and plenty of other useful features, UpWord Notes is better than most competing title and a great replacement for Apple's Notes app,

I wanted an everyday stylish wig to wear that looked very natural. I liked Harper's short bob style which was a nice change from the Calla wig, I wear, my other favourite. My one complaint is that the quality of the Harper wig is not as good as I expected. I really like this wig and wouldn't mind paying more for a higher quality product. However, I have partly compensated for this by buying a number of these wigs so as to have a fresh one when I need it most.

Harper looks great right out of the box. The style is young and modern. Sunset blonde is a pretty color. It's just a bit lighter/brighter than my usual 14/26A. I always get compliments when I wear it, and overall I'm happy with it. However...It is described as a lace front wig, but it is NOT! No natural looking hairline. It just has lacy material inside at the top, which does not provide a natural looking part like a mono top wig would. Would I recommend this? Yes and no. I would recommend this wig highly if you don't need a lace front. If you order this wig expecting one, you will be disappointed. I'm giving this one a 3 because of the misleading description.

This is a fantastic wig!
By Summermom2
from Seattle, WA
This is by far the best wig that I have ever purchased! It's flirty, fun and super light and the color is very believable. The best part is...it makes me look a lot younger! I have worn wigs for years and easily paid much, much more per wig and felt like I had to settle for what I got. No more. The value and quality can't be beat. I am a very, very satisfied customer. Can you tell?

Boy do I love this wig!!!
By Muffin
from Northern Wisconsin
I have tried so many wigs = I have to wear one for the last few years due to hair loss from Lupus and the Harper has become my favorite = the day I received it I immediately ordered another - I usually wear a large but decided to try a average and it seems just fine = would probably order one in large if available = Such a cute wig and can be backcombed and sprayed and pretty much one you can shake out and wear out of the box - Luv it

Very natural looking
By GingerPearl
from Chicago Illinois
I've had to wear wigs for at least 20 years. They are all too short or too "old" looking, too much curl, too long or too much hair. I have a long face I have to have one at least this length on the sides. My ONLY wish is that it came in Jaclyn Smith COLOR AUBURN SUGAR!

By jamme

After returning a couple of other styles, this one is great, the color, the length, the style is indicative of the picture. It is the closest to the Snap wig that was discontinued, which I really loved. Took very little to style in place. Very happy!

Frequently Asked Questions
Fast facts on the Master of Public Administration at the Monterey Institute
What do we mean by development?
Individuals, communities, nations and the broader global community all hold visions of what they seek to become. Development is the evolutionary process of creating the conditions necessary to achieve those visions. Development also refers to outcomes, the specific sustainable changes in human behavior that occur as this process unfolds. Accordingly, development takes place at multiple levels: within individuals, families, communities, nations, regions, and in the context of global governance.
Among the building blocks of development are sound social and economic policies, good governance, respect for human rights, targeted investment that facilitates growth with equity, and citizen engagement. Development is also deeply linked to values (including empowerment, sustainability, participation, enlightened efficiency, and equity) as well as basic freedoms (concerning, illustratively, economic justice, transparency, security, and political expression).
What are Social Change Organizations (SCOs)?
Through their projects, programs and other activities, SCOs address issues of critical importance to society by fostering positive, sustainable changes in human behavior that are linked to specific development outcomes. These changes may be socio-economic (e.g., reducing poverty through micro-enterprise development), socio-cultural (e.g., protecting human rights for traditionally excluded groups), socio-environmental (e.g., reducing the carbon footprint through recycling), or socio-political (e.g., increasing civic participation in local governance or achieving gender equity).
SCOs represent many different types of entities including units of local or national government; international organizations (e.g., Unicef and UNDP); international NGOs; grassroots community action groups; for-profit social enterprises; and alliances of for- and not-for-profit institutions. Local and national NGOs as well as social movements also fall under the SCO rubric as do enterprises created by social entrepreneurs. While SCOs take many forms, what they have in common is a commitment to generating and supporting the conditions necessary to achieve greater social wellbeing.
Where do development-focused SCOs work?
The settings in which SCOs operate are varied. They include transitional states, low income countries, and anywhere where people hold aspirations for a better future. There are many communities in middle and high income countries--including the US--where large numbers of people live in poverty, face discrimination, or battle against threats to their wellbeing. These settings are also important for development work.
How do SCOs pursue their objectives?
SCOs contribute to development by designing, implementing and assessing programs. Often, they also engage fact-finding, policy advocacy, and networking to achieve change.
Some SCOs provide services in such areas as health, education, livelihood generation, human security, and natural resource management. Others work in policy reform (including compliance monitoring of existing policies or laws); organizational capacity development; or institutional renewal. Still others provide training; conduct development-focused research; mobilize resources (financial and human); or make targeted investments (sometimes in the form of grants). Highly effective SCOs usually apply several of these approaches to achieve mission.
What are the purpose and focus of the Monterey Institute's MPA Program?
The Monterey MPA program prepares students to become effective leaders and managers in social change organizations engaged in development. Through coursework and practical field experiences, students integrate theory, knowledge, and skills. They also develop the personal traits of effective leaders and managers including adaptability, resourcefulness and critical self-reflection.
Leadership, in our view, occurs at every level of an organization's structure and is a shared function. Effective leaders create, manage, assess, and improve processes that enable people to join together to achieve shared objectives and accomplish extraordinary things in diverse, multicultural settings. Monterey MPA graduates are prepared to exercise effective leadership as soon as they launch or continue their careers.
How does the Monterey MPA program equip students to work in development-oriented SCOs?
Students in the Monterey MPA program are prepared to apply - in diverse settings and with diverse stakeholder groups - the approaches widely used by social change organizations (SCOs). They also learn how to depart from traditional development practices to pursue innovative techniques and processes to improve the human condition in an increasingly complex world. Typically, program graduates complete coursework related to eight key thematic areas:
- Leading mission-driven organizations
- Managing and generating human, financial and material resources
- Practicing good governance
- Creating policy environments conducive to sustainable social change
- Using qualitative and quantitative information to design solution strategies to critical problems
- Evaluating programs, projects and initiatives
- Developing organizational and individual capacity
- Building networks and partnerships with diverse actors
Students may elect to create a four-course specialization to complement their coursework in the key thematic areas. Illustrative degree specializations include development management; gender and development; human rights; security and development; monitoring and evaluation; and capacity development.
Highly relevant core courses, challenging professional service opportunities, complementary specializations, and a collegial community all contribute to helping graduates become gifted at:
Developing both oneself and others (at different levels of society) to become ever more effective SCO leaders and managers
Strengthening social change organizations so they can expand their impact
Promoting systemic approaches to sustainable change
Fostering critical examination of key assumptions and promoting dialogue among people whose assumptions differ
Applying theory to practice and using practice to inform theory
Communicating and collaborating effectively in multi-cultural, multi-stakeholder environments
Generating and using information (both quantitative and qualitative) to improve stakeholder engagement, organizational impact, and the stewardship of resources.
Within a values-driven environment, students in the Monterey MPA program learn how to be effective change agents. They acquire tools and techniques to become practical idealists with a deep understanding of the contested meanings of development; inter-relationships among power, culture and sustainable social change; and, the role that SCOs and civil society play in development.

Keeping Parker was and is a mistake, IMO. Shipley and/or Underwood were both superior to Parker and Sammie.Grimm is not fast enough to handle the new pass happy NFL and especially the NFCSouth QBs.
Grimm has a lot to prove. Based on live action, the dude is toasty oats. Wish he was cut, would have rather kept the spot open for a player who can make a diff. I just cannot see Grimm doing that on busted legs. He was given a pass by Schiano, when others were not, because Grimm kept quiet (imo), and was willing to put his body on the line without question. He is a strong kid, but he looked mud azz slow.

Wilson headlines Rangers' crop of free agents
Ace lefty's decision to stay or go will have domino effect on plans
ARLINGTON -- C.J. Wilson isn't sure what will transpire over the next few months. All he knows right now is he is a free agent, and by Thursday, he will be able to sign with any team."I don't know how it's going to work," Wilson said at the end of the World Series. "I don't know if I'm going to get a text saying, 'X amount of years, are you in or out?' I have no clue. I don't know if somebody's going to be like, 'Yo, we're going to get you your own blimp. ... We will blimp you to the field.' I have no idea what's out there. I literally don't have any idea." The Rangers aren't sure either, but they do know that starting pitching will again be a high priority during free agency. They are interested in re-signing Wilson, but nobody is quite sure what the price will be and what other teams are interested. It is obvious that starting pitching will be highly coveted on the free-agent market -- when is it not? -- and Wilson remains among the best who are available. That list also includes Mark Buehrle, Javier Vazquez, Erik Bedard, Aaron Harang, Edwin Jackson, Hiroki Kuroda, Bartolo Colon, Freddy Garcia and Roy Oswalt, among others.
Oswalt's name seems popular because of his prior relationship with club president Nolan Ryan while both were with the Astros. But he has also dealt with back and hip issues for much of the past six years, and that may scare people off.One thing that should be remembered about the Rangers when it comes to free agency is they investigate all possibilities and always look for "high-ceiling, low-risk" free agents. Third baseman Adrian Beltre was the biggest name they signed last winter, but don't forget they also signed pitchers Brandon Webb and Dave Bush. Webb never pitched for the Rangers and Bush only spent a couple of months with them, but that's not likely to deter Texas again this winter. So while everybody is rounding up the usual starting-pitcher candidates and wondering if the Rangers will really stay away from Prince Fielder and Albert Pujols, there is still a strong chance they will sign some intriguing marquee name that is on the comeback trail. After all, who can forget Arthur Rhodes and Seth McClung, Khalil Greene and Edgardo Alfonzo, Brendan Donnelly and Derrick Turnbow, Andruw Jones and Sammy Sosa, or Eric Gagne and Omar Vizquel. Maybe this winter the Rangers think they can get lucky with outfielder Grady Sizemore. Maybe they think that Joe Nathan or Jonathan Broxton have one good year left in them as a closer, or that it might be worth bringing in Kevin Millwood or Doug Davis into camp. Where would the Rangers have been this summer if they had not felt Endy Chavez was worth having around? There are over 200 players who are officially free agents. Carlos Beltran is looking for a job, but so is Laynce Nix. Armando Galarraga, anybody? CONTRACT ISSUES
Free agents: LHP Wilson; LHP Darren Oliver; LHP Michael Gonzalez; OF Chavez; RHP Webb; C Matt Treanor
Club/player options: None
Arbitration-eligible: C Mike Napoli; SS Elvis Andrus; OF David Murphy; RF Nelson Cruz; LHP Matt Harrison; RHP Mike Adams; RHP Mark Lowe; INF Esteban German; INF Andres Blanco; RHP Darren O'Day
Starting pitching: With Wilson becoming a free agent, the Rangers have a hole in their rotation. They return Colby Lewis, Derek Holland, Harrison and Alexi Ogando. They need one more. They have three internal candidates. They could fall back on Scott Feldman, who was a 17-game winner in 2009 before a knee injury set him back, they could move closer Neftali Feliz to the rotation or they could go with Eric Hurley, a former first-round Draft pick who has spent the past three seasons trying to recover from injuries.
Closer: This only becomes a need if the Rangers move Feliz to the rotation. The internal candidates are Adams and Lowe. The free-agent market is loaded with potential closers, including Heath Bell, Jonathan Papelbon, Nathan, Francisco Cordero, Broxton and Kyle Farnsworth, among others.
Left-handed relief: Oliver and Gonzalez are both free agents. Oliver hasn't decided if he'll play again next year. The Rangers will have to reinforce this side of the bullpen.
The Rangers were at $92 million last year. With all the pay increases due the players coming back, they should go past the $100 million mark.

Need more help for your OCD? Many people with OCD experience only a partial response to currently available medications.
Montefiore Medical Center and multiple sites across the U.S. are seeking volunteers to participate in a clinical trial evaluating the effectiveness of low-dose ondansetron augmentation for the treatment of OCD in patients who have not adequately responded to their current SRI therapy after at least 12 weeks of stable treatment.
Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to receive ondansetron 0.5 mg, ondansetron 0.75 mg, or placebo, twice daily. Participants will continue the current SRI treatment and receive 12 weeks of augmentation. Participants completing the 12-week treatment may have the opportunity to continue treatment for up to one additional year. Treatment is provided at no cost.
Participants must have a DSM-IV-TR diagnosis of OCD as their primary disorder who have been on a stable treatment regimen of clomipramine, fluvoxamine, fluoxetine, paroxetine or sertraline for at least 6 weeks may be eligible for this study. Six additional weeks of stable SRI treatment, without adequate clinical response, will be required prior to randomization, after which the participant will receive SRI plus study drug, for a total of 12 more weeks.
Exclusion criteria include, but are not restricted to the following:
· Failure to respond to more than 2 SRI treatments prior to current SRI
· Hoarding as primary OCD symptom
· Current or past medical history of schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders, schizotypal personality disorder, bipolar disorder, Tourette syndrome, autism or autistic spectrum disorders, eating disorders, PTSD
· Requiring active behavioral therapy
· History of drug addiction or drug, alcohol or other substance abuse within the past 12 months
· Currently taking, or having taken within the previous 8 weeks, any of the following: other SRIs, antipsychotic drugs, lithium, benzodiazepines or other anxiolytics, carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, phenytoin, or other anti-depressants (including St. John's Wort)
· Likely to use triptans at any time during the study
· Believed to have suicidal or homicidal risk
