Booking your expedition
How do I join a Blue Ventures expedition?1. Complete and submit our online application form.
2. If we're able to accept your application, we'll send you an email offering you a place on your chosen expedition with a link to download our detailed pre-departure briefing documents.
3. If you request to speak to us about joining an expedition, we'll give you a call at a time that's convenient for you and answer any of your questions over the phone. You're also welcome to come and visit us at our London office.
4. Once you've decided that you'd like to join a Blue Ventures expedition, you'll be asked to confirm your place by paying a non-refundable deposit and agreeing to our booking conditions. This allows us to guarantee you a place on your chosen expedition, with the full balance of your expedition fees due at least 6 weeks before departure.
5. Once your place is confirmed, you'll be asked to complete and submit various forms, including medical forms to be completed with your doctor and details of your travel insurance policy, flights and emergency contacts. We'll be on hand to provide any guidance you need, and are always happy to answer any questions as our volunteers prepare for their trip.
Why should I choose to go with Blue Ventures?There are plenty of reasons why we stand out from the crowd! From our high quality accommodation and rigorous science training to our conservation impact, find out more about what makes us different, and check out our award-winning responsible practices.
Don't just take our word for it... these volunteer stories give a varied glimpse into life on our expeditions, and we're always happy to put prospective volunteers in touch with our expedition alumni in order to be able to hear first-hand about their experiences.
If I'm unable to join the expedition at the last minute, will I be eligible for a refund?We ask for a non-refundable deposit in order to be able to guarantee you a place on your chosen expedition, and the balance of your expedition fees is due at least 6 weeks before departure. In the unlikely event that a volunteer isn't able to join the expedition and has already paid their balance, their travel insurance company should be able to offer a refund. Volunteers who pull out 4 weeks or less before the start of an expedition will not be eligible for a refund. Volunteers who pull out more than 4 weeks before the start of an expedition will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
When do the expeditions start throughout the year?Please check out the dates of our expeditions.
How long can I stay?Generally expedition volunteers stay for 6-12 weeks, but if you're enjoying yourself and we're enjoying having you, essentially the stay can be as long as you wish! The longer a volunteer stays, the lower the price of the additional weeks.
What's included in my expeditions fees?Please check out what's included in the costs of our expeditions.
Volunteer profile
Can anyone join a Blue Venture expedition?Anyone can join a Blue Ventures expedition providing that they're in a reasonable state of fitness and good health; we require volunteers to go for a medical check with their doctor prior to departure, with a medical form that the doctor must sign. Volunteers must be able to swim 400 metres confidently and tread water for 2 minutes unaided.
I'm not a UK citizen - can I join a Blue Ventures expedition?Absolutely! Blue Ventures has alumni from all around the world; Canada, France, Belgium, Sweden, Australia, India, etc! Anyone is welcome to join a Blue Ventures expedition providing that they're able to speak and read English, as all dive and science training are in English.
What is the average age of a Blue Ventures volunteer?Typically our volunteers are aged between 17 and 60, but there's no upper age limit. Every expedition group is made up of people with a wide range of ages, and the average age of our volunteers is 28. We insist that all volunteers who wish to scuba dive are at least 17 years of age, although we accept volunteers under 17 years of age to participate in non-diving activities (so long as they're accompanied by an adult), and families are welcome to join too.
Will I meet my fellow volunteers before the expedition starts?Volunteers are put in contact with the rest of their group 6 weeks before the expedition starts. This allows them to get to know each other a little, and even coordinate travel plans if they would like to travel out to Belize together or to the site together once in Belize.
Do I need previous marine science or diving experience to go on a Blue Ventures expedition?No! With a high staff to volunteer ratio, our expeditions team are on hand to support you to develop your marine science and diving skills. Half of our volunteers have never dived before, and our PADI dive courses represent excellent value for money.
Pre-departure preparations
How do I get to Belize?You can easily fly to Belize City via Miami, Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles and Houston. Overland travel is also possible from Cancun, in Mexico. We provide detailed travel advice for all of our volunteers, so you don't have to plan your journey from scratch.
How do I get to Sarteneja from Belize City?Belize is a small country with good local transport options. You can get to Sarteneja from Belize City by public bus or water taxi.
Do I need insurance?Yes, we require you to have two forms of insurance: basic travel insurance and specific dive insurance provided by Divers Alert Network (DAN). They are our chosen partner for our scuba emergency evacuation plan, so we insist that all volunteers have a DAN insurance policy.
What vaccinations will I need to visit Belize?Before you join an expedition, you should see your doctor or an accredited travel clinic who will advise you on the vaccinations that you need to visit for Belize. As a guide, the standard vaccinations are:
• Polio, tetanus and diphtheria
• Meningitis A & C
• Typhoid
• Hepatitis A
• Yellow fever (only if staying in a yellow fever country en route to Belize)
Do I need any diving experience to join a Blue Ventures expedition?Both qualified and non-qualified divers are welcome to join our expeditions, with the PADI Advanced Open Water course offered to those without this qualification, including a Peak Performance Buoyancy adventure dive. Dive training is carried out during the first two weeks of expeditions, so that all volunteers are qualified to participate in underwater surveys once they have successfully completed their science training.
Experienced divers who have not dived in the six months prior to their expedition are required to take a refresher course with us, to ensure that they are confident and well trained. We also offer the PADI Emergency First Response, Rescue Diver and Dive Master courses for those who wish to advance their diving qualifications.
What if I have diving accreditation through BSAC, NAUI or another organisation?All of our volunteers must be trained up to PADI Advanced Open Water or equivalent to participate in our underwater survey dives, so please contact our London-based expeditions team to check your qualification level if you've trained with a different scuba agency.
Do I need my own diving equipment?You'll need to bring some personal diving equipment: wetsuit, mask, snorkel, fins, watch or dive computer, dive torch (for night dives!), delayed SMB and underwater slate (for our research work). You'll be wearing your wetsuit, mask, snorkel and fins almost daily for 6 weeks so it's very important that these fit well and are comfortable. We provide the scuba equipment you need including buoyancy control devices (BCDs), regulators, weights and cylinders. It is also a requirement by PADI that every student taking a dive course has their own manuals so please bring these with you if applicable.
How much diving will I do each week?While in Bacalar Chico we dive six days per week, and you'll normally dive once or twice per day. The majority of our dives are science-related, for example, including training sessions, recording fish and benthic transect data, or surveying new reef sites. Diving is strictly weather-dependent due to safety concerns, and subject to logistical restrictions.
Which dive courses are offered while on expedition?All expedition volunteers are trained up to PADI Advanced Open Water level. We also offer the PADI Emergency First Response, Rescue Diver and Dive Master courses for those who wish to advance their diving qualifications.
Please note that volunteers must be on site for a minimum of 12 weeks to complete their PADI Dive Master and must complete in this order: Open Water, Advanced Open Water, Emergency First Response, Rescue Diver and finally Dive Master.
Science training
What do expedition volunteers learn?All of our volunteers complete an intensive two-week science training programme run by our field scientists at the beginning of each expedition, involving numerous snorkelling and diving excursions as well as informal lectures, small group discussions and practical exercises on coral and fish species identification. All training materials are provided on site.
Will I be tested?Yes, all of our volunteers are tested on coral and fish species identification in order to ensure that the data we collect is scientifically robust. Tests involve point-out dives, where volunteers find and identify a variety of coral and fish species. Most volunteers pass these tests by the second or third week of the expedition, before moving on to underwater survey dives with our field scientists.
Life on site
How much money do I need to take with me?While at our base in Bacalar Chico there will be little or no opportunity to spend money - one of the benefits of being in such a remote site! We recommend budgeting around £50 per week for things like drinks, snacks, souvenirs and telephone/internet credit while in Sarteneja.
How can I be contacted while in Belize?Our dive camp in Belize is a remote location. Please be advised that while we have a permanent phone on site, you may not be contactable when you're in the Bacalar Chico Marine Reserve (our dive camp) if weather conditions are bad. For emergency purposes, we have satellite telephones and a 24-hour messaging service. We do have a public telephone at our dive camp, which you can use if you purchase a local phonecard. When you're on the mainland (in Sarteneja), for private calls you may prefer to bring an unlocked mobile phone that will work with a locally available sim card. Internet is not available at the dive camp, but you may be able to check your emails once or twice during the course of your trip, depending on the availability of transportation to nearby San Pedro.
What will I eat in Belize?Due to the various ethnic influences in Belize, food will be a mixture of western, Caribbean and Mexican. For breakfast you can expect tortillas or fry jacks with spread as well as cereals, tea and coffee. For lunch rice and beans are common with salad and vegetables. For dinner you may get rice and beans, salad, stews, vegetables, fish and a dessert. We're normally able to cater for those with specific dietary requirements, particularly vegetarians, please just make sure you mention this at the time of applying. Treated drinking water is freely available on site, with bottled water and other beverages and various snacks available to purchase at times. Volunteers are given the opportunity to learn how to make traditional snacks, such as fry jacks and tortillas.
What will the weather be like in Belize?As Belize is situated in a sub-tropical latitude, the weather is always warm by northern hemisphere standards. Although there are dry and rainy seasons, there is almost always sun and warmth to offset any rain! As a guide, it rains most from June to November and is drier from February to May.
What can I do in my spare time in Belize?In their spare time at our base in Bacalar Chico, our expedition volunteers can be found exploring the mangroves, playing games on the beach, snorkelling or relaxing in their hammocks. While in Sarteneja, there are opportunities to visit nearby Mayan ruins and Shipstern Nature Reserve.
How does Blue Ventures ensure the safety of its volunteers?Safety is our top priority when working both above and below the water in remote environments. Our volunteers are required to complete a medical check with their doctor before joining an expedition with us, and we aim to have a qualified medic on site at all times, with additional 24-hour medical support provided both from our UK based medical and within each expedition country.
Rest days (decompression days) are incorporated into our schedules, and conservative dive profiles allow for a large safety margin. Communications can be difficult on remote expeditions so our field sites and research boats are connected by VHF radios and/or mobile and satellite phones at all times, and our research boats carry medical oxygen on all diving trips.
We have worst-case scenario emergency protocols in place, supported by 24-hour contact with our head office staff and medical advisers. All of our expeditions staff are experienced divers, with training in first aid and practical rescue management skills.
Further travel in and around Belize
Want to explore Belize and Central America after your project? We've put together this section to give you some ideas...
Central America is on your doorstep when you complete your expedition! It's well worth staying for a few more weeks and exploring a bit more of the region. The following is certainly not exhaustive but provides a list of some of the experiences that staff and volunteers have enjoyed in the past. All of these sites are easily accessible by bus from Belize City or Sarteneja unless otherwise noted.
You shouldn't forget that Sarteneja and Belize have some wonderful opportunities on offer. Sarteneja also offers some special experiences for you. Wildtracks has their own volunteer programme which is focused on rehabilitating manatees and various species of jungle mammals. If you just want to relax and enjoy the community then a few more nights in your homestay are a great way to go, particularly if you want to immerse yourself in learning Spanish.
The Blue Hole, Turneffe Atoll and Gladden Spit offer some unforgettable diving. Caye Caulker is a wonderfully relaxed location to base yourself for diving the Blue Hole or Turneffe Atoll, and the vibrant community of Placencia, with its 3-mile half-moon beach, is the right place to stay if you want to dive Gladden Spit in search of whale shark.
On land there is a wealth of adventures to sample. The south of the country is mountainous and cloaked in rainforest. Throughout the country there are Mayan sites, but the most spectacular has to be Caracol. Hidden in the depths of the jungle, this site is well off the beaten track and can be explored fully with only a few other tourists dotted around the ruins. Actun Tunichil Muknal (Cave of the Crystal Sepulchre), in the Cayo District, is a must-see for all of Belize's visitors. Do also look into river tubing trips and river tours, as these are sometimes the best way to get into the depths of the jungle.
Tikal is a spectacular Mayan site a relatively short distance across the border into Guatemala. Buses from Belmopan or Belize City can transport you to this UNESCO World Heritage Site in a day. Not only does the trip offer you the opportunity to explore some of the best preserved Mayan architecture in Central America (including the highest temple), but is also surrounded by incrediblely lush jungle. Picture sitting in a Mayan temple at treetop level gazing out at the setting sun while howler monkeys cry in the background - an amazing experience!
If you'd like to do even more diving then Roatan Island, off the north coast of Honduras, would serve you well. This island is easily accessible using local propeller-driven airlines via San Pedro Sula from Belize City. The island itself is a beautiful setting, forested with lush vegetation and precipitous ridgelines, while the coast is surrounded by stunning reefs. The west also offers the unique opportunity to go on a deep dive in a submarine to see what lives well below scuba depths. This is the only commercial deep diving submarine available for recreational trips in the Atlantic. It is expensive but well worth it!
Yucatan Peninsula
A short hop across the border into Mexico will open the Yucatan Peninsula for you to explore. The Mesoamerican Barrier Reef extends from Bacalar Chico up through Cozumel to Cancun in the far north, and offers many opportunities for spectacular diving. Tulum, Playa del Carmen, Cozumel and Cancun all offer a variety of dives depending on what you fancy. Inland, the freshwater cenotes that can be dived from Tulum or Playa del Carmen are highly recommended. The water in these caverns is incredibly clear, offering up to 100 metres of visibility. Coupled with the spectacular caverns and caves, this opens a completely new diving world to sample. Gran Cenote, Angelita and Car Wash are just a few of the unusual dives to choose from. Additionally the Yucatan has a multitude of Mayan culture to sample, including the legendary Chichen Itza.

13000 Zoo Blvd.
Apple Valley, MN 55124
Category: Performing Arts Venues
Region: Apple Valley
The dynamic duo of John Hiatt and Robert Cray — plus their bands — should incite plenty of righteous howls at the zoo. Both are touting new albums featuring their customarily exceptional songwriting, but also with relatively surprising fresh twists from each. Bluesman Cray, whose contemporary touches have sometimes helped him climb the charts, digs into Memphis soul on In My Soul, stirring up a Stax/Hi vibe on band originals while also covering Isaac Hayes and Otis Redding. Hiatt (pictured), who's always messing around with some combination of rootsy rock, country, and blues, dives head first into gritty, acoustic blues on his forthcoming Terms of My Surrender. He even dusts off his harmonica and goes all Little Walter on a few cuts. As always, his clever lyrics tell vivid tales of love, redemption, and pain, laced with biting satire, poignancy, and scathing commentary, exemplified by the apocalyptic "Wind Don't Have to Hurray."

|Summary, etc.:
| Gail DeMarco left Whiskey Creek, California, to make a name for herself in Los Angeles. Her PR firm has accumulated a roster of A-list clients, including the biggest box office hit of all--sexy and unpredictable Simon O'Neal. But Simon, who's just been through a turbulent divorce, is so busy self-destructing he won't listen to anything she says. She drops him from her list--and he retaliates by taking the rest of her clients with him. Desperate to save her company, Gail has to humble herself by making a deal with Simon. The one thing he wants is custody of his son, but that's going to require a whole new image. He needs to marry some squeaky-clean girl who'll drag him off to some small, obscure place like Whiskey Creek. Gail's the only one he can trust. She agrees to become his wife--reluctantly. But she isn't reluctant because he's too hard to like. It's because he's too hard not to love!

Shit, look at that blood splatter. Fuckin hell.
This win is bad news for Tito. Enough to keep him feeling relevent enough to sign up for several more unnecessary beatings. Just like the Bader fight
You're right. You're right and I apologise; It was wrong of me to call you out just for being chivalrous and protecting Enty's honour.
You are a gentleman, and not a sycophant - I see that now.
Complimenting? Dude you are publicly rimming Enty on that other thread.
Pretty much anyone who has ever owned a pair of 4oz gloves, judging by the posts i've read.
I wasnt even aware it was scheduled, but a rematch of their utterly mental CR fight took place at the weekend on the snappily titled "Gringo Super fights"
Double post
Conversely; Ronda doesnt need to have any fear of the takedown, so she just needs to cover up, and wade in. Unless Flloyd can KO her while covered up before she can put a hand on him, she taps him...
Sakuraba vs Smirnovas
Awful to watch
I thought both had a complete ACL tear? Is Carlos' tear MORE complete than Conor's?
The only thing I can guess is maybe Conor, being so new to the UFC, was more hopped up on adrenaline than...
Pretty sure he only finished that sub because of the extra friction provided by his opponents rash guard.
Haha very nice!
You fought Liam as a LW though. That shouldnt have any impact on the FW title picture.
Would be nice to see him get past Omar, and then maybe we finally get to see McGregor vs Alers?
Women wanted him, men wanted to BE him.
Confidence man and Basilisk were the cream of the trolling crop im
I like Rob, but he is getting battered here.
Probably right...Enty wouldnt exaggerate.
I'll take a stab in the dark and go with Huerta.
He's based up the road from PTT at Tiger, and Enty has probably fucked him off at some point.
Lobov isn't from the UK.
Have a look at the Euro rankings, he is above you. Case closed.
Maybe I'm misreading, but Fight matrix has Artem at 27, and you at 28 in FW?
Apologies, Im clearly not in the know. Which rankings do the big shows go by?
Googling European mma rankings only gives:
and both...
Yet, you've lost to Wheeler(twice imo), a guy with a similar record and less impressive wins than Lobov, but who cares?
MMAth doesnt mean shit.

Fan Tan Dinner Rolls
When the rolls come out of the oven they remind me of a cluster of underwater sea anemones, delicately reaching this way and that. They also smell heavenly. On baking day I had my windows wide open, and my landlady Helen called to me from outside to ask what on Earth I was making that smelled so good. Always a positive sign!

Like string cheese or those chocolate candy oranges, part of the fun in eating fan tan rolls is peeling them apart, layer by layer, and savoring each buttery bite.

Director walks out — again
By Karen Brainard
Accusations and a heated exchange among some members of the Ramona Municipal Water District board resulted in one director walking out of the meeting — for the second consecutive meeting.
"This is getting to be repetitious," said Director Rex Schildhouse as stood up after being stopped from proceeding with his director comments by Board President Darrell Beck and a ruling from legal counsel near the end of the March 11 meeting.
"I'd like to get this subject onto the subject of directors' comments and not an attack against the rest of us, Mr. Schildhouse," said Beck.
Schildhouse, however, claimed in his comments that he was the victim of an verbal attack by Beck and Director Joe Zenovic.
The discord began at the board's Feb. 11 meeting when Schildhouse complained that his agenda request related to board policies was not on the agenda and said Beck and General Manager David Barnum made that call. Barnum said Schildhouse's questions referred to material in a board policy known as Policy 1, and Schildhouse had received a copy.
At the Feb. 25 meeting Barnum included an agenda item asking whether the board wanted a Policy 1 workshop. That led to a statement rom Beck about the 1986-87 and 1990-91 county grand jury investigations into the water board due to conflicts of interest and violations. The first county grand jury report was the catalyst for Policy 1.
Schildhouse finds flaws with sections of Policy 1, pointing out what he believes are discrepancies and lack of detail or clarification.
n March 11 Schildhouse said the board has not allowed him to ask one question on the policy.
"As a result, I was subjected to a coordinated gang assault by Beck and the boys. Recall that no one even asked what the question was nor what the follow-on questions were," he said.
Zenovic had called Schildhouse's requests "a cry for help" at the Feb. 25 meeting, suggesting the director had not read or understood the Policy 1 material. Schildhouse claimed there was a synchronized attack against him, similar to one against Director Kit Kesinger, who has not attended a meeting since April 2013 because he cannot make the 2 p.m. meeting time. Meetings, held the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month, were held at 4:30 p.m. when Kesinger was elected in 2010.
Throughout the March 11 meeting Schildhouse did not cast a vote on agenda items, but said "not voting" when called upon. With Kesinger absent, that leaves three of the five directors voting: Beck, Zenovic and George Foote.
Schildhouse submitted a letter to Beck during directors' comments, saying he is resigning from all his responsibilities with the district other than his position as Division III director. The resignations include his office as board treasurer and membership on ad hoc subcommittees. Although he asked Beck to sign the letter, Beck sought opinion from legal counsel, adding, "I've let Mr. Schildhouse stand here and accuse me of lying, and I take that personally."
Attorney Jim Gilpin with Best Best & Krieger LLP, said directors' comments should be confined to business of the district and no action or discussion could take place on items raised in this portion of the meeting. He suggested all board members get a copy of Schildhouse's letter to be reviewed at a subsequent meeting.
Schildhouse said he could not give his directors' comments "because the president of the board doesn't want to," and left.
Beck then referred to an 11-page response from legal counsel as to whether Schildhouse was in violation because he sought opinion from legal counsel on Policy 1 matters, and suggested the board form an ad hoc committee on the issue. Beck said he would like to have Zenovic serve on the ad hoc committee with him.
Gilpin said that formation of an ad hoc committee should be presented at a subsequent meeting.
In action during the meeting, three directors gave authorization to purchase a replacement motor from Brithinee Electric Company of Colton for about $65,000, and a replacement pump from Hidden Valley Pump Systems for approximately $42,000 for the Poway Pump Station. Both purchases will come from the Water-Capital Replacement Projects fund.

Beware the worm that gurns
Summary: An email containing a picture of an old man pulling faces also includes a dangerous Trojan
Antivirus experts have discovered a worm that pulls a silly face at its victims.
This worm, dubbed Wurmark-F, also travels as an email attachment, but when opened displays a photo of a man gurning -- a British tradition of pulling silly faces.
Sophos reported that when run, the worm installs a Trojan that allows hackers to take remote control of infected computers and capture information.
"At first glance some may think this worm is harmless, and be amused by its graphical payload, but it has the sinister intention of handing over control of your PC to remote hackers," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant for Sophos. "If you attach a new, unpatched computer to the Internet, unprotected by proper firewalls and up-to-date anti-virus software, then it can easily be under the control of hackers within 10 minutes."
Users were confronted with another abusive worm earlier this week that sang the words 'you are an idiot' at its victims.

Being a drug pusher is a horrible job, which has failure and misery built in. It depends on people who must have drugs and sooner or later will not be able to afford them. Because the drugs create a brief state of euphoria, they dig a hole for themselves in their souls and pull failure in after them.
How many drug pushers have I seen, in how many movies? They all seem versions of the same species. They exude a certain cool in their social circles, because they are a source of euphoria for others. They are invariably users themselves. They are the vulnerable middle man between the distributors and the users, running most of the risks, because it is a greater crime to sell than to use. When they can't pay a debt to their supplier, that is the most dangerous of all crimes, because suppliers tend to be ruthless sadists flanked by cold-eyed enforcers.
Luis Prieto's "Pusher" is a new U.K. remake of a 1996 success by the hot Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn ("Drive"). It stars Richard Coyle in the story of seven days in the life of Frank, a London dealer — days that grow remorselessly more miserable as a noose of debt tightens around his neck. He gets what seems to be a safe order for a kilo of cocaine. This information is his fortune. He knows he can obtain the cocaine from Milo (Zlatko Buric), a superficially charming clothing importer. "You're like a son to me," Milo tells Frank, urging him to sample honeyed Serbian desserts. As an actor, Zlatko Buric embodies a smarmy charm that is reptilian — as Frank discovers when he loses the cocaine and Milo's £45,000. Now the cold-eyed enforcers start turning up, popping their knuckles and dropping hints about cutting off Frank's fingers. This is the second movie I've seen in a few days involving finger amputation. Charming, these people.
Frank's circle includes his mistress, Flo (Agyness Deyn), and his goofy buddy, Tony (Bronson Webb). As a general rule, when a woman says she loves you and she's getting her drugs from you, it may not be true love. As for Tony, anyone with that giggle cannot be trusted.
Frank glides through a lifestyle involving discos and pole-dancing clubs with flashing red lights, grotty back streets in charmless London districts, increasingly desperate meetings with people who cannot think of any good reason they should "lend" you thousands of pounds, and drinkers who, as usual in recent low-life films, pound back straight shots that have no apparent effect. I'm thinking of keeping count of movies without mixed drinks.
It's more or less expected that a London type like Frank will have at least one good guy in his life, possibly a souvenir from his younger days, and in "Pusher," that character is a nice old man who runs a pet shop; what happens to him provides the film's most genuinely shocking moment.
Richard Coyle's weary, baggy eyes record his mounting desperation, Flo's beauty disguises a woman on hold for her next hit of crack, Tony is too much of an innocent to run in these circles, and if we haven't caught on from earlier films that drug pushing is a thankless persuasion, maybe this is the movie that will pound in the lesson.

Just got a pop-up ad from Schwan's offering a free frozen dinner. "Restaurant quality cuisine." But of course they don't say whether the restaurant their quality is comparable to is Denny's or French Laundry. :-D
Has anyone tried their frozen dinners?
I surfed their site for a few minutes since I didn't have any idea what they offer and notice they have premium ice cream (they call it Simply Supreme). How does it compare to, say, Ben & Jerry's?
I have found Scwan's to be better than other frozen meals. However, that is where it ends, as a frozen meal.
The ice cream is tasty, but not as good as the premium brands out there.
My SIL went through a Schwanns phase... she has arthritis and limited mobility so the grocery store takes a lot out of her. I had some of their stuff while I was visiting her and it was okay. A lot more sugar and salt than I'd use... but it was perfectly edible as these things go. It's not cheap, but for somebody who's not in the position to stand around cooking all day it's not bad.
I enjoy their dinners. I'm pretty fond of the gluten free meatballs and marinara dinner, it was the first time I'd had quinoa pasta. The ice creams ARE excellent, I love them. And they do a good pecan pie. I've tried the penne alla vodka with chicken and I find it to be pretty good but honestly, I don't have that picky of a palate lol When they have the online hot deals, some items can be pretty cheap.
We love Schwan's ice cream - we think it's better than anything we can get in our supermarket. And, it's a heavy container, it's not a lot of whipped air.
We used to use a lot of their convenience foods (chicken strips, fish filets,etc) when the kids were smaller, but we've gotten away from all of that. I confess I miss the fried fish filets.
re: buttertart
Yes, that and it appeared as if someone had stepped on them. Had them at my SIL on an evening where, I think, she had forgotten she invited us to dinner. :-)
I grew up having Schwans in the summers at grandma's. The one thing I remember very fondly is the rocky road ice cream! Most of the ice cream was very good.
I'm not a big fan of Schwans. They are really common in MN & SD since that is where they are based out of. I find the ice cream a bit too gooey. I have not looked at an ingredient label but it is the gooey texture you find in ones that use lots of stabilizers. The frozen foods I would consider about a notch below Stouffers meals from the grocery store. They are heavily salted and sugared like most convenience food. If someone gave me a bunch of Schwan's food for free I would probably pass on it.

if you don't like martini's...
I love whiskey, there I said it. I love 7 & 7, whiskey sours, jack & diet coke, jack & ginger, crown royal & soda etc...Sometimes when we go out, my friends chuckle at my drink request. They all drink martini's and think I need to "grow up" with my choice of cocktails. I can't stand gin or vodka, so I'm not ordering a martini!! I don't know much about spirits, so please educate me and give me ideas for something to order the next time I go out...
When you say crown & soda, do you mean club soda or 7-up/Sprite? If the former, then you are okay with the taste of the whiskey, so you can start to branch out with other whiskey based non-sweet cocktails such as an Old fashioned or a Manhattan. If you are interested in trying a Martini type of cocktail made with whiskey, try a dry manhattan. take a good bourbon( I geberally use Woodford or Knob Creek for this drink) and put 3 oz in a pitcher of ice. add 1 oz dry vermouth( Vya is the best, but Noilly Pratt or Martini & Rossi or Stock all are fine). Stir briskly untill the outside of the pitcher starts to frost or condense. Strain into a Martini glass and garnish with either a lemon twist or an olive. (The inquiry of this choice from a bartender can lead to an amusing misunderstanding regarding the relevance of Dickens' young character, but that's another story.) This is a real grownup drink and no vodka or gin is injured in its preparation
How about a Sidecar, its served in a cocktail glass so your friends may see it in a better light. The recipe I enjoy is:
4 parts Cognac
2 parts Cointreau
1 part lemon juice
Shake with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
The fruitiness of the lemon juice and Cointreau (orange flavored liqueur) blend wonderfully with the cognac.
re: zin1953
My favorite, but it's hard to find a bartender who makes it right (and has Peychaud's) outside of New Orleans.
If your friends make fun of what you drink, then you need new friends. If you find yourself drinking someplace where the bartender will consent to fill a request for an "appletini," then you need to leave and never return. If you want to "grow up," stop drowning your whiskey in sweet soft drinks. The cocktails already suggested are as good a place to start as any (but if you do like sweet stuff, and tend to favor Canadian whiskeys, then I'd suggest starting with a Manhattan rather than a Rob Roy).
Whiskey sours *are* a grown-up drink. Enjoy and relax. If you want to get hoity-toity, order a premium whiskey of the variety you prefer in your whiskey sour.
Easiest thing to do if their comments really bother you is order a Manhattan straight up, or whatever whisky you like on the rocks, or with club soda. Anyway, a Whisky Sour is a classic cocktail. Personally I'm not much for mixing good booze with coke or ginger ale, but I don't think your drink preferences are that bad. It's a long way from the girl who makes an ass of herself ordering a sex on the beach, no matter where she is, or some people I know who are in their 30's and still drinking Mike's Hard Lemonade and Tequiza (shudder).

Some people, when confronted with a project, think "I know, I'll use a framework." Now they have two problems.
I love frameworks. I stiil shudder when I remember the long days where I worked in spaghetti code when I first started programming. It was shortly into my first experiences with PHP that I was introduced to Zend Framework and the idea of an MVC design pattern that would keep my business logic, data access and html all in separate files. I seriously thought I'd found the best thing since sliced bread.
It was when I studying the MVC design pattern that I stumbled upon Rasmus Lerdorf's post about "No Framework MVC" and realized that it was possible to create a well formed architecture without using a third-party framework. This naturally led to several projects I did in a bare-bones style without the use of an existing framework. Let me just say that it was a great learning experience. In the end, we switched those projects to Zend Framework because it brought a lot of needed tools to the table as well as a less buggy implementation of the core MVC framework.
When I came to my current position with Lendio, they were already using Kohana 2 so I learned a new framework, and to be honest I've been a pretty hard sell. I follow ZF bloggers, I prefer ZF's conventions and general style, but I've come to appreciate K2 for the lightweight rapid application development tool that it is. K2 has been great, it allowed Lendio to roll out an awesome product on an unheard of timeline and its been stable since our launch so no complaints here.
But, even with as awesome as I've found both Zend Framework and Kohana to be, my projects have been far from painless. What I've found in each of my projects, whether it was my own framework or a third-party one, is that at some point someone made a choice (or an assumption) in the framework and that choice cost me time development time, headaches and in a few instances never-ending frustration.
One of the first I stumbled upon was using the Zend_Db Row Data Gateway implementation in a way that allowed one class (or table) to inherit from another class (table). One just has to look at the series of questions I've posted to stackoverflow about the topic to see that isn't a really great solution to a lot of these issues. In the end, I had to roll a custom data mapper that could support inheritance between database tables as well as other more complex relationships between data.
When I first started working with K2's ORM and Database Querybuilder, I kept running into this annoying situation where I'd start building a query for one thing and then I'd need to run another query to get some other piece of data, and pass that piece of data into the first query and then run the first query. But every time I set this up, one or both queries would fail. It wasn't until I did some digging that we found out that the Querybuilder object actually wrote the query information into the Database driver and was flushed every time a query was run. There was no way to build a query in K2 and store it for later use. At first we just made sure that queries were built and run in proper sequence. Eventually it occurred to me that we could build a class that contain all of the necessary arguments for running a query in K2's Database Querybuilder but would allow us to build a query and hang on to it, till we were ready to use it.
There are more times than I care to count where I've had to give up on using a framework tool because it just didn't get the job done. Has anyone else tried to use Zend_Date::isValid()? As far as I know, it still takes any string and forces it into a valid looking date and thus always returns true. Or in the case of Zend_Db, there was a time that you could use named parameters when using the PDO database adapter library, but they removed it when they abstracted variable escaping into the framework and away from the native database driver. In K2's case, have you ever tried to build an ACL or navigation tree based on controllers and actions? Maybe its my ZF background, but I figured that both shouldn't be that difficult to implement either as ports from ZF or natively. However, since Kohana supports nested controllers, you couldn't just work with a simple module/controller/action path. Implementing both the ACL and navigation tree in a more or less infinite architecture required tons of development time from our team. We've been live with our new site for several months now and just recently implemented a method call on a K2 helper that failed miserably in our live environment so once again we spent hours debugging through framework code only to find that our environment didn't like the way it was done in the helper so we had to 'massage' the framework to do it a different way.
I know, you're either annoyed because you get my point or because you're wondering when I'll make it. Basically, I think Terry Chay is on the money when he says that frameworks suck. And why do they suck? As Terry Chay put it: "It is not so much an assumption as a fact: when you develop software, it is about making choices. It is about tradoffs. You can do "A" but you can't do "B." "
He later says:
And why I mention this is because I want to mention that whenever I rail on Rails or rip on your framework, every criticism is coming from this concept of There are consequences. When you use a framework, you make a choice. When you adopt a framework, you adopt all the choices that that framework designer has adopted—so you have to be very careful in which framework you are going to use.
So frameworks suck because when you choose a framework, you're locking yourself into a lot of choices that have just been made for you. And even worse is that you're locking yourself into choices that you don't even know were made, at least not until they bite you in the rear end. And that's not even the worst of it, again I am going to appeal to Terry Chay:
It's probably because framework code is the antithesis of the design principles that went behind PHP. Frameworks try to do too much; PHP tries to pass the buck. Frameworks are complete; PHP is a component (the 'P' in LAMP). Frameworks are standard; almost nothing in PHP is standard, that's why you need a website to document its quirks. Frameworks surround; PHP sits inside. Frameworks are complicated; PHP is simple.
Like with Zend_Db and escaping values for queries, most frameworks end up doing stuff that is already done by something that actually did the job really well and all in the name of proper code reuse or keeping abstractions intact or some such nonsense. Maybe that works in environments and languages where the cheapest and fastest solution is code related. PHP, however, is a single component of an entire ecosystem and ultimately PHP programmers MUST be good at identifying the easiest, cheapest, and quickest way to deal with any given problem and frameworks in their completeness have a tendency to reduce our ability to do that.
But, if frameworks suck so bad, why are we here on a blog for another PHP library / framework / thing? And why is everyone, including me, still using frameworks in PHP? And is it possible to have our cake and eat it too? Please stay tuned for our next article in this series about reinventing the wheel.

Before start commenting on the software itself, i have to say that support (Stephane) is exellent. It has been proved so far very fast and effective in fixing any issue arise, and I have to say i feel safe to have this kind of backup when it comes on using any software in my platform.
I have to say that translation work is a breeze (done very easy), it is well organised, even for people like me that have no experience with Joomfish (after all falang is a fork of Joomfish for 2.5, thus very similar) the interface is very easy to learn and use. Above all, when adding a big number of languages the translation work stays well organised, without unecessary repetitions and chaos in module menus (as done with the Joomla 2.5 build in function)
For all you guys that have been around the corner long enough to have worked with joomfish, you need to know the work is done exactly the same way.
One difference with joomfish is the sef translation is not available (I am not sure if this is needed anymore for SEO purposes, at least for Google, but maybe usefull if you upgrade from erlier version of Joomla/Joomfish).
Second difference is you dont have front end ability for translations, however this feature is very specialised need.
Anyway with Joomla 3,0 around the corner you anyway need a plugin that can follow the developments. I am very happy this functionality exists - keep on doing good job guys!

What is acne?
Acne is a skin condition that occurs when hair follicles and oil-secreting glands get clogged,
causing bacteria to grow in pores. As a result, you can get pimples, whiteheads and blackheads.
Acne may be related to high testosterone levels in both males and females. Acne blemishes occur
most often on the face and neck, but can also appear on the back, chest and upper arms.
