Would like to see a dog park somewhere on the Bernal property. Hope my fellow dog owners agree!
on Feb 4, 2014 at 10:19 am
What for, so the inconsiderate dog owners of this town can let their animals relieve themselves and leave their droppings. It is sad that people allow their animals to disrespect others property. I wonder how these inconsiderate owners would like people defecating on their property and leaving it for them to clean up. There should be a law that can be enforced where these animal owners are ticketed and fined for their lack of consideration. I can not imagine placing a dog park next to where our children play so they may be subjected to more germs and possible injury from unleashed animals.

Exactly! We need a dog park so the dogs can run around in a separate and fenced area, and NOT get on people's personal property, front yards, poop on community land or run off-leash (which is not allowed but people do it anyway)chasing people away.
We are WAY over due for a Dog Park in Pleasanton! Joe - I completely agree.

When a Bengals fan asked Joe Reedy which Bengals running back would get more carries in 2013, BenJarvus Green-Ellis or Giovani Bernard, Reedy's answer wasn't necessarily surprising.
RT @willfrasure @joereedy How do you think snaps between Green-Ellis and Bernard will be divided?>Green-Ellis will get most— Joe Reedy (@joereedy) May 5, 2013
The Bengals are going to keep pounding Green-Ellis up the middle while they use Bernard as their change-of-pace back to get around the edge and catch the ball out of the backfield. While Bernard will get more carries than he would just as a third-down back, Green-Ellis is still going to be the feature back.
There are several teams around the league who use a dual back system and many of them have had a lot of success at moving the ball on the ground. This doesn't mean that Green-Ellis will always be the feature back either. Depending on Bernard's ability to carry the ball between the tackles, he could become the team's main running back over time.
While Green-Ellis and Barnard are going to be soaking up the majority of the team's carries, Bernard Scott could find himself fighting for a spot on the team. He has struggled to stay on the field due to durability issues and, unless he proves his special teams worth or unless someone ahead of him is injured, he could be looking for a new team come August.
There is plenty of time between now and then, though, and anything can happen.

A Study Evaluating Limited Target Volume Boost Irradiation and Reduced Dose Craniospinal Radiotherapy (18.00 Gy) and Chemotherapy in Children With Newly Diagnosed Standard Risk Medulloblastoma: A Phase III Double Randomized Trial
Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Drugs used in
chemotherapy, such as vincristine, cisplatin, lomustine, and cyclophosphamide, work in
different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving
radiation therapy with chemotherapy after surgery may kill any remaining tumor cells. It is
not yet known whether standard-dose radiation therapy combined with chemotherapy after
surgery is more effective than reduced-dose craniospinal (head and spine) radiation therapy
plus either posterior fossa (back of the brain) boost or tumor bed (site of the tumor) boost
radiation therapy combined with chemotherapy in treating medulloblastoma.
This randomized phase III trial is studying standard-dose radiation therapy to see
how well it works compared to reduced-dose craniospinal radiation therapy AND posterior
fossa boost radiation therapy to see how well it works compared to tumor bed boost radiation
therapy when given together with chemotherapy in treating young patients who have undergone
surgery for newly diagnosed standard-risk medulloblastoma.

Monday, 22 March 2010
The Down's syndrome community came together at a reception hosted by Lord Dear QPM celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Down's Syndrome Association (DSA) on Friday, 19th March, at the House of Lords during the annual Down's Syndrome Awareness Week.
The DSA was formed in 1970 as a result of a group parents coming together to create programmes and opportunities for their children with Down's syndrome designed with their specific development profile. Since this time, the Association has grown from a local charity to a national organisation with more than 20,000 members and global partners.
Carol Boys, Chief Executive of the Down's Syndrome Association, said:
Carol further expanded:
On the evening, the Association paid tribute to five people who have dedicated their lives to the advancement of people with the condition both individually and collectively. These award recipients have altered the course and opportunities for people with Down's syndrome through dedicating their own lives to understand more about the condition and actively championing access to equal rights.
Four Lifetime Service Awards were awarded on the night to Dr. Janet Carr, Dr. Stephanie Lorenz, Professor Conor Ward and Professor Cliff Cunningham.
Dr. Janet Carr, recipient of a DSA Lifetime service award, said:
The Down's Syndrome Association also bestowed the great distinction of Lifetime Volunteer Award to Mr Colin Quemby, who has diligently aided the association month after month, year after year allowing the Association to develop and flourish.

Fire officials in Owensboro have posted some holiday cooking safety tips to help you get ready for your Thanksgiving meal and guests.
To avoid a call to the fire department, the Owensboro Fire Department has listed some holiday cooking safety tips on its Facebook page just for you.
Here's just a few to keep in mind when cooking your holiday meals.
When you're cooking or food's in the oven, make sure you actually stay home.
If something's on the stovetop, it's important to stay in the kitchen to watch it if you can.
Thanksgiving might be a time when there's lots of children at a house, so make sure you keep them away from hot foods and liquids.
Keep knives out of their reach and keep them away from the stove, too.
This is a good reminder for guests of any age...check to make sure the floor's clear, so no one trips or slips.
Preparing for big holiday meals is also a good time to check your smoke detectors to make sure they're working, too.
The list also notes that Thanksgiving is the one day out of the year for the most home fires that involve cooking equipment, so keep these in mind during your preparations.

explicit parallelism
A feature of a programming language for a parallel processing system which allows or forces the programmer to annotate his program to indicate which parts should be executed as independent parallel tasks. This is obviously more work for the programmer than a system with implicit parallelism (where the system decides automatically which parts to run in parallel) but may allow higher performance.

Mother feels sorry for her PC son's killers
Scroll down for ITV News' interview with Ronan Kerr's mother
The mother of a policeman murdered in Northern Ireland nearly one year ago said his dissident republican killers have achieved nothing.
Nuala Kerr said she felt sorry for those responsible for the death of her son Ronan, as they would always live with the guilt of taking a life.
With no one yet charged over the attack, she urged the perpetrators to hand themselves in.
I actually feel sorry for people like that being brought up and indoctrinated into the belief that killing somebody is actually going to achieve something."
I feel sorry for people who think that - that it's okay to kill somebody.
– Nuala Kerr
How is it ever going to be okay to kill somebody, you are going to have to live with that for the rest of your life?"
Constable Kerr, 25, from Beragh, Co Tyrone, died when a booby trap bomb exploded under his car in nearby Omagh on April 2 last year.
The Catholic gaelic footballer, who had been in the force for only three weeks, was apparently targeted in a bid to scare other young nationalists from joining Northern Ireland's new-look police service.
In the wake of the murder, Mrs Kerr made an emotional plea for Catholic trainee recruits and police officers to defy the killers and continue to serve.

The Lunkarya breed is not the result of crossing breeds. It is the result of a unique MUTATION.
Unless breeding for minipli's, Lunkarya should never be crossed with an Alpaca, Texel, Merino or Rex!
This page is entirely my own thoughts on the Lunkarya breed. I have written it to help those who have an interest in the breed have some background knowledge.Please ask permission before copying anything from this page!
I have researched and written this from my own experience - so please dont nick it!
On this page you will find:
*You will find other information pages by hovering your mouse on the 'Lunkarya Information' heading on the menu to the left*
'Guinea Pig Magazine Issue 12 January 2013' (https://guineapigmagazine.com) features our Lunkarya article!
For those still new to this New Emerging Variety, the Lunkarya is a dominant, rexoid variation of the Peruvian model. It is pronounced 'Lunka-ree-a'. The characteristic cork-screw curls are enhanced by their remarkably harsh coat. They are surprisingly laid-back and the coat is generally easy to maintain.
At a week old, the facial hair on the baby will start to fall out. This is a result of the harsh coat. In Continental Europe, it is said that the more facial hair that is lost, the better the coat harshness will be. As such, in Continental Europe, it is widely regarded as an indicator for their future coat. It is not something which is specifically aimed for - it is just a characteristic of the breed. However, it does compromise the chops and frontal. So it is a fine balance of maintaining the harshness and retaining the chops/frontals.
Coat colour does make a difference regarding harshness, as is seen in other breeds. Agouti, as seen in Rex's and peruvian's, seem to have much greater harshness. I have found the solid colours, and some agoutis, have better density.
The hair is intended to be high-standing and this is enhanced by the hair growing on the sides of the coat, that effectively 'push' the coat up. Typically, harsher hair will stand more erect than a soft coat, which will just fall. Once they reach over 5/6 months of age, gravity plays a role and a parting has to occur!
Breeding pointers:
Once you become more familiar with the breed and the stages of baby growth, you will start to recognise a good lunkarya from birth. Just a summary: well defined, hard curls shortly after birth.
Unless breeding for minipli's, Lunkarya should never be crossed with an Alpaca, Texel, Merino or Rex!
Monica and Annica Lundqvist were sisters who ran a petshop in Kungsholmen, Stockholm. They bred dogs and rex cavies. In 1986, a litter of guineapig were brought in which included a longhaired curly male. He was named Prince Adam and was of common guinea pig ancestors. They kept him and mated him, it showed that would produce curly offspring when crossed with longhairs. He was the result of a mutation and is the origin of the breed.
Initially it was described as a dominant rex Peruvian, but later was named Lunkarya through a combination of 'Lundqvist' and 'rya' meaning 'sheep' in Swedish. At that time the texel had been bred in England and they did not wish for this to become too similar, so they chose to develop the coat towards the rough, un-brushed coat. It has been said that after a few years interest dropped and the lunkarya breed was almost abandoned. Then luckily an enormous interest restarted the breed and the lunkarya is now one of Sweden's major breeds.
The lunkarya gene is dominant and cannot be carried. All lunkarya are the Peruvian variant and any other type, sheltie or coronet must have the lunkarya prefix attached. The main characteristic of the lunkarya is the dense, harsh coat and this can be in any mixture of colours.
It is a unique gene for several reasons:
• It is the first time a 'curly' gene has risen in a long-haired cavy – previous 3 as cited above were all short haired (or semi-longhaired hair for CH teddy).
• It is also the first dominant gene for 'curly' hair. The 'curly' is a short-haired Lunkarya! The Lunkarya refers to the Peruvian combination.
• The skin is very harsh, which helps result in the 'high-standing' of hair.
• A pup is easily recognisable after birth due to 'hard curls' and often the hair shaft will break off due to the harshness. As time progresses, the hair becomes rougher, thicker and stands.
• It is possible to brush out the curls, however they will return – unlike an alpaca.
• The strength and elasticity of the hair differs from Alpaca's, Texel's and Merino's. The hair is comparable to sheep!
People are individuals who do things differently - breeders vary in their wrapping technique and even guard-hairing - Most breeder's do not wrap their Lunkarya, preferring to use clips to hold the sweep up - it is usually matter of trying various things to find what works best for you!
The Lunkarya are shown naturally, tangle-free and 'not brushed out' on a showboard. So you want to keep the curls as intact as possible. You will need a wide-toothed comb or even an afro comb. Daily grooming will break off the ends of a harsher coat, so you want to aim for just general daily removal of debris in the coat with your fingers - then every few days an overall brush out to prevent tangles occurring. Less is more with this breed!!
Due to the harshness of the coat, they tend to not get matts easily. Still they do need some work to maintain the curls! Bathing every 6-8weeks is crucial in keeping the skin healthy and coat clean. Although Lunkarya are shown 'natural' they must still be presentable and clean!
The hair grows straight till they reach around 5months old and then gravity takes action! so you do not have to worry about wrapping for quite some time. Personally I use hair clips to hold the sweep up - but even then depending on your pig you may not even have to - as again the harshness prevents it becoming overly soiled compared to peruvians, for example.
A month before the show, I bath the Lunkarya. After a week or so, the curls are prominant again and the full harshness returns over the next few weeks. In the meantime, use an wide-toothed/afro comb to gently maintain the coat, tease out tangles. Carefully blow or remove hay seeds and other debris with fingers daily. Depending on the pig, you may have one which is hopeless at keeping clean - whilst others have OCD's!
Personally, once I have reached the show, I nearly brush out the lunkarya and clip their nails. Ensure no tangles hidden anywhere and no other debris is lurking around! Then into their pen they go with a hay ball and a towel. When it is time, give the pig one last look over and a (very light!) misting of water then scrunch the coat to really enhance the curls (you may find until they are 5months they may not need it). We are now aiming for a look without a parting - so you have to really mess the hair up as much as possible, but without tangles!!
A longhaired cavy in the Peruvian model (having a frontal, chops and two hip rosettes), but differing in coat texture, which should be as harsh as possible. The coat is curly in a ringletted fashion, giving a corkscrew effect that needs to be present from the base of the coat to the ends. The hair on the frontal and chop furnishings is rexoid but not ringletted, like the coat on the belly. A young Lunkarya may have a softer coat than an adult and this should be taken into account.
Due to the random corkscrew effect of the coat the Lunkarya cannot be presented with a parting. To maintain a clean coat free of knots and matting the Lunkarya should be regularly brushed, combed or groomed by hand. For presentation at the judging table the Lunkarya must be shown with a coat that appears 'messy' to display the random ringlets. (This can be achieved by brushing the Lunkarya out and then 'misting the coat with water' to enhance the curls, however the cavy must not be damp when presented to the judge.)
For presentation it is essential that the judge should be able to run their fingers through the coat to check for coat quality and presentation. Therefore the Lunkarya must be shown free of knots and tangles and on a board, but brushes and combs must not be taken to the judging table. A Lunkarya can be shown in any colour or combination of colours.
LUNKARYA (Proposed Guide Standard)
Frontal, Chops, Head, Eyes & Ears
of which Frontal and Chops: The hair constituting the frontal should originate from the
shoulders and be of good length, in keeping with the cavy's age and in harmony
with the shoulders and chops.
The chops should be strong, with hair of one length and no gaps.
and Head to be short & broad, Muzzle of good width & rounded at the nostrils.
Eyes to be large, bright and bold and set with good width between.
Ears to be large and drooping, and set with good width between.
Coat Appearance (Shoulders, Sides, Sweep)
Coat should consist of hair forming natural, regular 'corkscrews'. It should not lie
flat against the body, but should be even in length all over, to give a generally oval
appearance when the cavy is viewed from above.
Shoulders and Sides should continue evenly from the frontal and chops of the cavy,
with good length in keeping with the cavy's age.
Sweep should cover the hindquarters, with good length in keeping with age.
Coat Feel (Texture & Density)
of which Coat Texture to be harsh and thick.
and Coat Density to be full and dense, with a thick undercoat.
Belly to be curly, woolly and dense.
To be presented clean, free of grease and unmatted, with the waviness/corkscrew
pattern of the coat left in its natural state but tangle free.
Due to the density of the rough coat, the cavy cannot be combed out.
Body To have short, cobby body; thick-set, with good width across shoulders.
To be fit and of good substance, with plenty of firm flesh.
To have good size appropriate to age.
The cavy must be shown with no central parting, on a board of appropriate size.
This should be large enough to give an outline of coat shape, maximum 20 x 20",
and covered in natural-coloured hessian. The coat must not be cut.
The Lunkarya is a long-coated cavy with a coarse, rough hair structure that
distinguishes it from all other breeds.
It has two rosettes on the rump, being the curly-coated equivalent of the Peruvian.
It can also appear in a Coronet and Sheltie version and should be judged accordingly.
The placement of rosettes is important in producing density in the sweep.
The coat should have a tendency to fall into natural corkscrews, and be dense and
rough, with a particularly dense undercoat.
The coat cannot be combed out, and it should not lie flat.
However, it should be even in length all over so that the overall appearance,
looking down onto the top of the cavy, should approximate to an oval shape.
There should be no central parting.
Lunkaryas may be shown in any colour, or mixture of colours.
The coat grows at the same speed and length as other standardised longhairs, approximately 1 inch per month.
Crests. Missing rosettes.
Additional rosettes, causing a visible impact on the coat, to be penalised according to severity of this impact.

MADISON (WAOW)--People who choose to donate their body for educational purposes often leave their families with nothing to mourn. In this special report, Bonnie Shelton takes you inside the Body Donor Memorial Service at UW Madison.
It's something only a few hundred people get to do each year, and thanks to a special ceremony, families and friends can remember and honor the people who continue a legacy of giving, even in death.
"She was a really sweet woman, proper lady, very giving. She was a really great mother, grand mother, great grand mother. A wonderful giving lady she really was," said Sally Napier of her late mother. AnnaMae Napier died in December from Alzheimer's disease.
AnnaMae donated her body to UW-Madison so medical students could learn from her and her illness. On April 16th, students and staff gathered at a university lecture hall to recount the gifts they received thanks to such selfless people in front of the families who lost them.
First-year medical student Matthew Kudek understands the importance of body donation after working with the cadavers first-hand. "It's just a great way for somebody to be able to give back. It's an ultimate form of giving back. It's very selfless. You're doing something you can't get any recognition for."
Families travel from across the country to remember. To honor the lives of those who because of their gift, could not be properly mourned.
"It was odd when there's no body and there's really no service then and what do you do? You know you're a little bit, you don't know what to do," said Napier of having to say goodbye to her mother without a traditional burial.
Attending the memorial service was a given for Napier. The loss of her mother is still an open wound, raw and real. "I'm good unless I talk about her and that's when I lose it. I'm grateful that she did this and it's a wonderful...it's just so typical of my mother, though. She always thought of others first."
Getting to hear the testimony of students, who got to know a different side of her mother, helps fill some of the gaps.
"You know, the body after you're gone really is just something to decompose anyway, so better to do something with it than nothing," she said.
Students agreed. "It's a really unique experience, something that not very many people get to do. The intricacy of the body, the textbook just doesn't compare," said Kudek.
Educational body donation is a gift that will keep on giving for many generations to come. Something Sally takes directly to heart.
For the nearly 100 body donors, their final gift is one that will continue to flicker, without dying out through the care of thousands of patients. Something Napier said she will consider now that she's seen how much AnnaMae's final gift meant to students.

Compare Medigap (Medicare Supplement) Premiums In 2014
There may be significant differences in the 2014 premiums that different insurers charge for exactly the same Medigap plan. The monthly premium for 2014 will depend on the plan you choose, and the insurance company you buy it from.
Medicare supplement plans (also called 'Medigap' plans) are labeled A, B, C, D, F, G, K, L, M, N, standardized and regulated by the federal government, and sold by private insurers in 47 states (except MA, MN, WI). Each plan has a different set of benefits, so you as Medicare beneficiary may select from a wide array of choices the plan that best matches your individual health care needs. A private insurance company that wants to offer one or several of those plans in a state must be approved by Medicare. Each plan with the same letter – no matter which insurer is offering it – must have the exact same benefits, deductible, coinsurance and copayments.
Some plans have higher deductibles (Plan F), others have an out-of-pocket limit (Plans K and L). Plan N is the most inclusive plan; it pays 100% of the Part B coinsurance, except for a small co-payment for some doctor's office and emergency room visits.
It is good to understand, how the companies calculate their premium, as it will have an influence on future premium increases. Ask your insurer which of the following three methods is used to price the premium for the plan you intend to join:
- Community-rated ("no age"): Every member of the plan pays the same premium, independent from age.
- Issue-age-rated ("entry age"): The premium is based on your age at the time when you buy the policy. This means, if you purchase it at age 65, your premium will be lower than if you join the plan at age 77.
- Attained-age-rated ("current age"): The premium is tied to your current age and goes up as you get older.
Please note that in all three cases, premiums may go up due to other factors such as inflation!
The premium of your Medigap policy for 2014 may also depend on whether the plan provider offers discounts (e.g. for women, non-smokers, multiple
policies, pre-payment for a whole year, or other factors).
Be aware, that the insurer may charge you a higher premium, if you are not joining the plan during your Medigap open enrollment period, and are not protected by a 'guaranteed issue right'. It is easy to understand that it will pay to invest a little time and thoroughly compare Medicare Supplement plan premiums 2014!
In some states, Medicare SELECT policies are sold that typically come with lower premiums, but may require you to use specific health care providers.
If you want to find out which insurance companies offer a plan in your zip code, and compare premiums online, you may use the Medicare Plan Finder at Medicare.gov. You may also contact the insurance providers directly, or use the services of a licensed health insurance broker.

News: Solar's Twitter Hacker Justifies Actions, "He Is A Liar, Thief & Cheater To The Highest Degree"
Wednesday, May 12, 2010 5:59PM
The person responsible for hacking into producer Solar's Twitter page has explained the motivation for leaking alleged damaging information pertaining to his business and personal affairs.
Writing from Solar's Twitter account, the hacker justified his leaks which included documents of alleged unpaid royalties, e-mails, and personal photographs of him.
"You people are hard to please lol... Let's see how Solar interacts with the fans...Here is proof that Solar received all of Guru's royalties: http://xs.to/image-C028_4BEAF7A1.jpg and http://xs.to/image-9A21_4BEAF7A1.jpg ...it is really hard to expose every lie this guy has said cuz theres 2 much. but ill try my best to inform u the most i can ...Jazzmattaz 1 (Before Solar): http://xs.to/image-59B7_4BEAFF9A.jpg Version 7.0 (With Solar): http://xs.to/image-D6FD_4BEAFF9A.jpg ....I've leaked this because i want to restore Guru's legacy. Solar is messing up his legacy and i can't accept that! Out of respect for the Elam family, Guru's friend and of course Guru i am going to leave it like it is. I did my job. I've leaked Solar's email to let you people see what kind of snake this dude is. This dude didn't gave a f*ck about Guru. Solar is a thief, liar and cheater to the highest degree. Yes, people like this do exist. And i'm sure he will have to face facts soon! Last but not least, i hope you respect my decision. Let's celebrate Guru's life! Thank you @Djdoowop for setting up the Guru concert! Thank you Village Voice, Thank you AllHipHop, Thank you Sohh, Thank you Twitter, Thank you Myspace, Thank you Solar's wife Thank you everybody who helped me out! Too much to mention! And no, i am not giving Solar's twitter back. It will be mine. For the record: I will be on this Twitter account!! Don't worry, i am not going anywhere! I am not going to leak anymore, that's all! But if you people receive funny replies for Solar or his wife on e-mail, please let me know, i'll post them :). Love to hear what he thinks!" (Solar's Twitter)
Reports of the hacking made headlines earlier this week.
The strange, sad saga that is the circus surrounding Guru's death continues this week with the news that someone has hacked the e-mail accounts and Twitters of Solar and Guru, and is leaking private message that show the twisted relationship Guru and Solar had together. Among the revelations of the reams of e-mails released (and are still being released), Solar allegedly: abused Guru, prevented him from getting medical treatment and instead forced him to tour Europe, cut his family out of his life, forged his death letter and tried to use his imminent death to sell unreleased material. (Prefix Mag)
Solar recently denied mistreating Guru while he was in a coma over the winter.
"Guru was cared for in the CCU at their highest level of care for a patient in his condition. I was at the hospital every day -- some days numerous times to check on Guru," Solar claimed. "He was always clean and well attended too. Guru was in a room equipped with around-the-clock video surveillance as well as hospital personnel. Premier's visit can be easily verified. The hospital has a strict visiting policy which includes signing in to see a patient. The CCU has an even stricter policy which is very thoroughly enforced. They will most certainly ask what day this visit took place and what time did he visit to facilitate process. My people and I would never tolerate any mistreatment of Guru in any way, shape, or form. Did DJ Premier complain to the hospital authorities about what he claims he saw?! If so who were the hospital authority? [sic] What was their response?" (All Hip Hop)
This week, producer Havoc said the fans should focus on Guru's legacy, not Solar.
The Queens icon is well-aware that fans have put blame on Guru's post-2004 musical partner, Solar. "I hear everybody saying things against Solar, the dude that was with him in his final days, whateva-whateva - we can hold anger towards him, but that anger is just in vain if we don't do something ourselves and hold our own memorial," deduced Hav. "By me doing this interview and saying that, hopefully people will hear it and catch onto it and say, 'You know what? That's a good idea.' I'm just tired of hearin' everybody sh*t on Solar. 'Cause you know what? F*ck him. I don't know him personally, but let's just do something for Guru." (Hip Hop DX)

A little about me...
I haven't had a life that followed along one narrow path, it has taken many twists and turns. I know what is important to me and what is not. I don't want the adventure to stop. The adventure doesn't necessarily mean travel to exotic destinations, but the ability to continue moving forward personally, no matter what my age and circumstances.
I am pretty funny, perhaps a little sarcastic, but I love laughing. I love family get-togethers like a summer BBQ. My family and extended family is diverse and live as far away as Hong Kong and St. Croix.
I cannot say what makes me a great partner. It has more to do with chemistry and compatibility. But generally, I am easy to get along with, caring, and enjoy simple pleasures. I do enjoy some physical activity, but I am not long - distance biking any longer. An occasional hike and the gym work for me now.
I am not looking to dive right into a relationship. I am "sticking my toes in the water". I have lost my two siblings and one parent in the past five years and would like to begin dating with ease and no sense of being rushed.
About the one I'm looking for...
The values that are important to me in another person is open-mindedness and someone who is not ridged in their thinking. On the other hand, if you are wanting me to deep-sea dive, mountain climb or go hunting, I am not the one. I am looking for a person with a similar mind-set and a good sense of humor (even though that is an over-used phrase, it is important). I do care about physical appearance - a few extra pounds is OK (me too), but a person who takes care of their health is important to me.
I am not a church goer and probably would not get along well with someone who adheres strictly to some kind of religious doctrine.
I'd just like to add...
Starbucks coffee is over-roasted so if we meet, it can't be there.

The combination of specialised English classes and interaction with native speakers working in these sectors provides a unique learning experience that is challenging but rewarding.
We offer Business English courses for groups (from the same company or profession) and can also offer one to one tuition. We will arrange accommodation in a hotel or home stay so that you can practice with native English speakers out of class.
We focus on speaking, listening, and writing English for the business world. We know that every business is different and so every course is made to fit your needs.
Please contact us for more information and a course outline.
In addition to English classes there are workshop sessions run by eco experts that include some 'hands on' activities, as well as excursions that are based around sites of environmental interest.
Themes explored in the Eco English course include sustainable living, alternative energy and eco agricultural techniques such as permaculture.

'Curse of Poverty' at First Religious
Rev. Harold Babcock will present a sermon titled "The Curse of Poverty" tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. at the First Religious Society, Unitarian Universalist, 26 Pleasant St., Newburyport.
In 2011, there were 203 children living in poverty in Newburyport. Nine percent of Newburyport residents live in severe poverty, having an income less than $18,000. Martin Luther King Jr. was not only concerned with racism and the achievement of civil rights, eradication of poverty was one of his major goals. On this Martin Luther King Jr. Sunday, the sermon will address some aspects of the poverty among us, even here in beautiful Newburyport.
The worship service is free and open to the public. Call 978-465-0602, ext. 401, or visit www.frsuu.org.
