Nothing much to do There's nothing much to do or see here, just soak up the natural scenic beauty. The only attraction is the annual Hornbill Festival in December each year.

TV Portal - Stream TV & Movies
TV Portal is free to try, but has limitations. The free version is ad-supported, and allows for 2 free TV episodes every 6 hours (there is no limit on movies, however). After a $0.99 upgrade, you can watch TV shows ad-free without limitations.
Your default video player will work, but we highly suggest downloading MX Player. After installing, open MX Player and go to Settings > Decoder > check boxes "Use h/w+ decoder" and "H/W+ decoder (network)". This has solved many issues with poor stream quality. Please watch video in description [starting at 1:00] for instructions.
Since TV Portal is still in the introductory stages, and uses a less than stunning UI, upgrading only costs $0.99! As soon as we put some work into the UI however, that price is going to go up, so upgrade now for the special promotional cost!
This fee helps us purchase new devices to develop on as well as incentivizes us to provide the best support to you guys, our customers. If you just take a look through the comments, you can see first hand evidence of the hard work we put into making your experience as easy as possible.
TV Portal gathers links from the following free TV sites. If you watch TV shows on a site that isn't listed, please send us an email at email@example.com with the subject "I Watch Free TV streams with thissite.com" (where thissite.com is the site you use). The free TV streaming sites are as follows: putlocker, sockshare, gorillavid, YouTube, vidxden, divxstage, novamov, movshare, filebox, muchshare, vidbull, nowvideo, videoweed, vidbux, nosvideo, vreer, 180upload, allmyvideos, videobam, modovideo, zalaa, and xvidstage.

Welcome to my site…
My life has been spent exploring extraordinary human functioning, and how individuals and small groups can, and have, affected social change. I've done this both as an experimentalist in parapsychology, and by being privileged to have been a part of several major social transformations: civil rights in the 1960s, the transformation of the military from an elitist conscription organization to an all-voluntary meritocracy in the 70s, and citizen diplomacy between the United States and the Soviet Union in the 80s and 90s. Both the experiences and the research have convinced me that all life is inter-connected and interdependent; which you'll see reflected in the site's several sections: my books, and research papers on Remote Viewing and Archaeology, Anthropology, Medicine and Healing, Creativity, and Social Policy; magazine articles and interviews; biographical material; and, experiential CDs, videos, and DVDs. You can read much of this material online, and download what you find of particular interest.
I invite you to also take a look at my daily news service Schwartzreport
Thank you for visiting.

We are Warriors!
Carrying the mace for 52,844 days
By Donnah Laster, M.B.A.
Wayne State University Commencement Address, 2014
Walking into this prestigious ceremony, we all followed the 51-inch Wayne State University Mace, held by Wayne State's Sergeant-at-Arms. Over the years, this specific mace has lost its original functional use, but blessed we are, class of 2014, because it has not lost its touch.
Just like the millions of WSU alum who came before us, we too are blessed with the opportunity to call ourselves Wayne State University Warriors. The difference, however, between us and our predecessors is the condition of our surroundings. Detroit needs fixing, our country needs healing and our planet needs saving.
But we are warriors. Although we are not literal warriors of battle, we are warriors in the figurative sense, showing great vigor, courage and aggressiveness. We have been made to persevere, sustain, triumph and train.
School of business, we need you! The city in which our precious university resides is in a financial crisis, and our country is still 17 trillion dollars in debt. Use what you have learned at Wayne State to turn us back around.
School of education, we need you! The Detroit Public School system is becoming smaller by the year, and students are entering high school and college less prepared than years past. Dive into the school systems and teach our future warriors how to fight.
School of Social Work, we need you! Like the Mamluk warriors who held the values of courage and generosity, and who are well-known for their treatment of wounds, may you go out into this world with armor filled of bravery and help our brothers and sisters in need.
School of Engineering, we need you! Make sure the School of Business have the best places to make transactions, make sure our future warriors are equipped with the most innovative technologies to learn, and make sure our social workers are given the most help in their day to day functions, so they may be of help to others.
We all need each other, and the world needs us!
To this day, our Wayne State Hymn can still be song with pride, "Young art thou, young and strong." Because even though Wayne State University has been educating, adapting with the changes in society, and producing the best alum across the world for 52, 844 days, the number of days it has yet to serve still makes us young.
Wayne State University Class of 2014, may we leave this place stronger, bolder and more prepared than we entered. May we leave as warriors, prepared to help each other, and eager to help the world. Those who have come before us have maintained an incredible legacy for 52,844 days. Let it not stop today, tomorrow or ever.

Deserts and Beyond
Deserts and beyond...places in and around the southern California deserts and beyond. Photo taken at Canyon Lake, in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona, December 2011. A few minutes later, after the sun disappeared, these cliffs were their normal color. They were only golden for a short time and I'm glad we were able to view them in their glory.

A collection of relevant and timely media clips and resources.
Posted on September 30, 2011
Yesterday, a federal judge in the Northern District of Texas ruled that the federal ban on dealer sales of handguns to adults from the ages of 18 to 20 does not violate the Second Amendment. The National Rifle Association plans to file a prompt appeal of the court's ruling to the Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals.
"We strongly disagree with this ruling," said Chris W. Cox, Executive Director of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action. "As we said when we filed this case, adults 18 and up have fought and died for American freedom throughout our country's history. They are adults for virtually every legal purpose under federal and state law, and that should include the ability to buy handguns from licensed dealers to defend themselves, their homes and their families. Our fellow plaintiffs in this case are law-abiding and responsible young adults. We plan to defend their rights to the very end."
The case is Jennings v. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. A related case challenging Texas' ban on issuance of concealed handgun licenses to adults in the same age group is still pending before the same court.
ANTI-GUN ATTACKS ON NATIONAL RIGHT-TO-CARRY BILL CONTINUE: As we reported last week, H.R. 822, the "National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2011" has recently come under attack from some expected and unexpected quarters. The usual culprits-- i.e., the anti-gun media, like the New York Times and the Washington Post; anti-gun organizations, like the Brady Campaign; and New York City Mayor Bloomberg's Mayors Against Illegal Guns--are a given. Regrettably, though, even some so-called "pro-gun" organizations are attacking this critically important bill.
A VICTORY FOR OREGON UNIVERSITIES' STUDENTS, STAFF AND FACULTY: In what promises to be a continuing debate on the rights of law-abiding citizens, the Oregon Court of Appeals ruled this week that banning firearms on the grounds of Oregon's public universities exceeded the scope of the university system's authority, thereby opening up the state's campuses to individuals who hold valid concealed handgun licenses.
GROUPS FILE SPURIOUS PETITION TO PROTECT NEVADA BEARS: Among the more desperate actions taken by anti-hunting groups lately is the petition, filed by Big Wildlife and NoBearHuntNV, to grant black bears in Nevada federal protection under the Endangered Species Act.
POLL SHOWS 39% SEE 'PRO-GUN' AS POSITIVE POLITICAL LABEL: Results from a just-released Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey show that, 39 percent of "Likely U.S. Voters" consider it a positive when a political candidate is described as being "pro-gun." Only 27 percent see the pro-gun label as a negative description, while 30 percent say it lies somewhere in between.
According to the Rasmussen poll, most Republicans (62 percent) and a plurality of voters not affiliated with either party (42 percent) see being labeled "pro-gun" as positive, while 49 percent of Democrats see the label as negative.
The survey of 1,000 likely voters was conducted on September 18-19, 2011.
2011 FIREARMS LAW & THE SECOND AMENDMENT SYMPOSIUM: The 2011 "Firearms Law & the Second Amendment Symposium," sponsored by The NRA Foundation, will be held on Saturday, October 15, 2011, at the University of San Diego Law School.
ANOTHER WAY TO GET INVOLVED--JOIN NRA'S FACEBOOK AND TWITTER GROUPS: Internet social networking has exploded in recent years, and websites such as Facebook and Twitter attract millions of users. This on-line community fosters a connection between its users, and allows distribution of user-generated content (like pictures, profiles, music, video, and text).
NRA has been a part of this social technology for some time now, with a presence on Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking sites. By actively participating in these new media, we are able to reach out to more potential members and supporters than ever before.
The current king of on-line social networking is Facebook. NRA's Facebook page continues to be extremely popular. In fact, thanks to you, our page has grown from about 300,000 fans on July 28, 2010 to over 1,198,000 fans as of this week!

ARIZONA: BLM Proposes Closing One-Half Million Acres of Public Land to Target ShootingThe Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has released a plan for the future management of nearly 1.4 million acres located southwest of Phoenix in parts of Maricopa, Pinal, Pima, Gila and Yuma counties. Of that total, over 486,000 acres are within the Sonoran Desert National Monument (SDNM) which the BLM proposes to close to target shooters. The public comment period for this plan is open through November 25. Please attend one of the scheduled meetings to show support for keeping public lands open for all of the public, including target shooters, and to learn more about how this plan will affect your future enjoyment of these lands.
CALIFORNIA: Four Anti-Gun Bills Awaiting Consideration by the Governor Governor Jerry Brown (D) has just over a week to decide whether to sign or veto four anti-gun bills. Assembly Bill 144 would ban open carry, Assembly Bill 809 would require state registration of newly-purchased long guns, Senate Bill 427 would allow law enforcement to collect sales records from ammunition retailers among other things, and Senate Bill 819 would allow the DOJ to use the Dealer Record of Sales funds. Please contact Governor Brown today and urge him to veto AB 114, AB 809, SB 427 and SB 819.
COLORADO: Management Plan for Public Lands Will Affect Target ShootingThe Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has released a resource management plan (RMP) for 500,000 acres managed by the agency's Colorado River Valley Field Office located in Silt and within the counties of Eagle, Garfield, Pitkin, Roult, Mesa, and Rio Blanco. The comment period is open until December 16 and BLM will announce in advance public meetings regarding the RMP. If you enjoy target shooting on these lands, it is extremely important that you review the plan to determine how it will affect your future access for target shooting. Please attend at least one of the public meetings and take the time to e-mail comments to the BLM.
KENTUCKY: Sandhill Crane Hunting Season Approved by FedsWith approval by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, plans for Kentucky's new sandhill crane hunting season now move toward the final hurdle, the General Assembly review process. A subcommittee of eight members will meet on October 11 to discuss the proposed plans for this hunting season. Please contact members of the Administrative Regulations Review Subcommittee and urge them to support the proposed plan for the sandhill crane hunting season.
MONTANA: Three Pro-Gun Bills to Take Effect on October 1During the 2011 legislative session, three pro-gun bills were signed into law and will go into effect on October 1. House Bill 159 will restrict the authority of the Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks and the Fish, Wildlife and Parks Commission to regulate firearms and ammunition. Senate Bill 124 includes a clarification of the suppressor statute that now legalizes the use of suppressors in the field except for hunting. Senate Bill 279 will allow Capitol Security to carry concealed weapons in the state Capitol.
NEVADA: Public Meeting to be Held Regarding Guns in State ParksThe Nevada Division of State Parks will hold a public hearing on the Nevada Administrative Code change of regulation to allow for the carrying of firearms in state parks, due to the 2011 statutory changes mandated in Assembly Bill 282. This public hearing will be held on October 12 in Carson City. If you cannot attend the hearing, please submit written comments to the Nevada State Parks Division by October 12.
NEW JERSEY: New Jersey State Association BanquetGun rights attorney and author Evan Nappen will be the keynote speaker at the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs (ANJRPC) combined Annual Meeting Banquet and Friends of NRA Dinner & Auction on October 15. The event will be held at the Gran Centurions in Clark. ANJRPC is the official NRA State Affiliate in New Jersey.
NEW MEXICO: Ruidoso Preemption Violation UpdateThis week, the Ruidoso Village Council voted to rescind Mayor Ray Alborn's executive order banning firearms from the village hall and other municipal buildings. The order clearly violated the firearms preemption clause in Article II, Section 6 of the New Mexico Constitution, which reads: "No municipality or county shall regulate, in any way, an incident of the right to keep and bear arms." Thanks to all local NRA members who contacted their village councilors and urged them to take action against the mayor's unconstitutional order!
OHIO: Concealed Carry Reform Bill in EffectOn September 30, Senate Bill 17, important concealed carry reform legislation, took effect. SB 17 eliminates the current confusing standards of carrying a firearm in a motor vehicle. In addition, this bill also allows permit holders to carry a firearm for self-defense in a restaurant that serves alcohol, provided the individual is not consuming alcohol, thus eliminating another "victim zone" in Ohio.
WEST VIRGINIA: The Gubernatorial Special Election is on Tuesday, October 4. Please be sure to go to the polls and "Vote Freedom First." For candidate ratings and endorsements, please visit www.NRAPVF.org.
Established in 1975, the Institute for Legislative Action (ILA) is the "lobbying" arm of the National Rifle Association of America.

Truman Arnold Pole Vaults to Top of Largest Private Companies List
by Gwen Moritz
Posted 4/2/2001 12:00 am
Updated 2 years ago
This is embarrassing: The largest privately owned company on Arkansas Business' annual list isn't even in Arkansas.
That's the hazard of treating stateline-straddling Texarkana as a single city and claiming all of it as an integral part of the Arkansas economy.
No. 1 on the list of the 75 largest private companies is Truman Arnold Cos., which zoomed up from from No. 8 last year with a 130 percent increase in revenue, the criterion used for this ranking.
With sales of $1.3 billion in 2000, the wholesaler of refined petroleum products and provider of aviation services is the only private company in Arkansas whose revenue is known or estimated to be in the 10-digit stratosphere. Stephens Group Inc. of Little Rock, the perennial No. 1, dropped to second place on the list, with revenue still estimated at $900 million.
Stephens has consistently declined to confirm any revenue figures, as is the privilege of private companies. More than 60 of the companies on the list did provide gross revenue information. It is completely self-reported and no independent verification is available for most private industries.
Truman Arnold Cos., namesake of the man who founded it in 1964 and still runs it, benefited from the dramatic increase in the price of petroleum fuels. The wholesale price of gasoline went from 45 cents a gallon in 1999 to 75 and 80 cents in 2000, chief financial officer Steve McMillen said.
But TAC also sold about 30 percent more fuel, further improving its revenue picture.
"It's not necessarily demand," McMillen explained. "It's just our sales. We have broadened our customer base and we're selling to more customers in more markets."
TAC markets branded and unbranded fuels in 47 states and five Canadian provinces.
"We've probably added 10 or 12 states to our sales market in the past 12 to 18 months," McMillen said.
That kind of expansion is obviously good for revenue figures, but what about the bottom line?
"It's working. We're doing pretty well," McMillen said.
The same market factors were at work for Coulson Oil Group in North Little Rock, which recorded a 51 percent increase in revenue, from $165 million in 1999 to $249 million in 2000.
Another member of the petroleum industry, Cross Oil Refining & Marketing Inc. of Smackover, returned to the list this year after several year's hiatus. Cross Oil is ranked No. 67, with revenue in 2000 of $81.2 million. The company is an oil refiner and manufacturer of products used in other industries.
* * *
The highest debut on this year's list is Arkansas Electric Cooperatives Inc. at No. 33 with $159 million in revenue during 2000. AECI is corporately separate from but has the same top manager (Gary Voigt) as Arkansas Electric Cooperative Corp., the No. 12 company on the list with $427.1 million in revenue.
AECI is owned by Arkansas' 17 electric distribution cooperatives. But instead of generating or distributing electricity, it manufactures and sells electrical equipment.
AECI should have been on last year's list, where it would have ranked 35th. It would have pushed last year's No. 75, Arkansas Steel Associates of Newport, off the list. And that would have improved the list even more, since Arkansas Steel Associates is — and was then — a subsidiary of Sumitomo Corp. of Tokyo.
Another company that was inadvertently omitted from last year's list is Baldwin & Shell Construction Co. of Little Rock, which ranks No. 75 this year with $60.2 million in revenue. Last year's revenue of $66 million would have been good enough to put it at No. 74.
Making its first — and only — appearance on the list is Communications Management Specialists of Little Rock. The telecommunications networker was founded in 1995 by Phil Whisenhunt, and it enjoyed phenomenal growth last year. Revenue increased more than 200 percent, from $21.1 million in 1999 to $60.2 million in 2000, and that was enough to place 74th on this year's list.
Regardless of its continued growth, CMS will not appear on future lists of Arkansas' largest private companies because it was sold in February to Scientel LLC of Downers Grove, Ill., a subsidiary of Scientech Inc. of Idaho Falls, Idaho.
Carlton-Bates Co. of Little Rock enjoyed a 68 percent increase in revenue from 1999 to 2000, and moved from 31st to 20th in only its third appearance on the list.
Falling Fortunes
Thirteen of the 75 companies on the list confirmed that revenue during 2000 was lower than in 1999, and the same may be true of some companies that didn't disclose revenue information.
No company on the list experienced a greater drop in revenue last year than Carco Transportation Systems Inc. of Fort Smith, which sold its CCC Express subsidiary to USA Truck Inc. of Van Buren in November 1999. That division had generated some $60 million in annual revenue, leaving Carco with $65.9 million in sales in 2000 and moving it from No. 41 to No. 73 on the list.
Riceland Foods Inc. and Producers Rice Mill Inc., both of Stuttgart, also experienced falling revenue last year. Riceland dropped from No. 2 on the list to No. 5, with a 5.5 percent decrease in sales. Sales at Producers Rice Mill were off by 8.2 percent, and its ranking dropped from 20th to 25th.
Trans-States Lines Inc. of Fort Smith, which was ranked No. 71 last year and No. 73 the year before, has apparently ceased to exist. Most of its assets have been sold.
Statewide Industry
No single type of industry dominates the list of Arkansas' largest private companies, although seven are hospitals and seven more are related to the poultry industry.
Fully a third of the top 75 companies are in Little Rock, with six more located elsewhere in Pulaski County (four in North Little Rock and two in Jacksonville). Only nine other cities (including the "wrong side" of Texarkana) boast more than one of the largest enterprises.
But the size of the town has little to do with the size of the company. Siloam Springs, with fewer than 10,000 residents, is home to both Simmons Foods Inc., No. 11 with revenue estimated at $430 million and 4,400 employees, and Allen Canning Co., No. 19 with $300 million in revenue and 1,100 employees. Hatfield, a Polk County town of whose population is approximately 400, is home to Buddy Bean's Hatfield Lumber Co., which employs 135 and brought in $79 million in revenue last year.

It has been a busy week in the Chelseamamma house this week as we try and establish some sort of routine. I am so thankful Sebastian is a content baby and Eliza has welcomed him with open arms, in fact she just wants to "cuggle him" all the time!!
Isaac appears to be the one struggling the most so we are trying to make him as included as possible. Daddy fixed his bike this week and has been busy chasing him around the block whilst he gets the hang of using the peddles and the brake!!
We had a newborn photo shoot on Wednesday, which was fantastic. I cannot wait to see the professional shots as mine taken just on the phone are beautiful.
As for me, I overdid it on Monday making the short walk to school, so have spent most of the week with my feet up……..I did manage a sneaky park trip though and it was lovely seeing Eliza running around enjoying herself as she is a real outdoor girl!
Here is my week in pictures………
175. Big sister "Cuggles"
176. Out picking Isaac up from school
177. Newborn photo shoot
178. Not impressed with his first bath
179. Four out of six children
180. Swiiiiiiing
181. Learning to ride his bike
What gorgeous photos
aww, the cutest sleeping baby picture! Hope Isaac gets used to having a new brother soon.
Lovely pictures of the children and particularly cuddles with Big Sis.
awwww i have been seeing your gorgeous pics on instagram. i am sure Isaac will be ok soon – i guess its all a bit strange to begin with having this new crying baby in the house.i cant wait to see your professional new born photos again i saw some in the week and they were gorgeous. xx
what beautiful pictures honey, i am loving the cuggles one.. so cute. I do hope you will post your photoshoot ones soon
What a fab week. You take it easy when you can hon. Hard I know. It took my 6yo a while to come round to the baby but 2 weeks in & she's his favourite x
Poor Isaac! Hope he adjusts soon. Lovely photos.

I have things that need replacing since I moved in 6 months ago and still hasn't been fixed. My intercom doesn Read More't work and I was told that it won't be fixed because they don't have the parts to fix it. When people come to visit me they have to call me on my phone so I can buzz them in. Also, a lot of residents are smoking in their apartment and in the hallways. It's so strong that it comes into my apartment. I've notified the office but they did was put up signs.

Farnoosh Torabi, personal finance expert and host of Financially Fit on Yahoo! Finance, offers insight into how to utilize your skills to bring in some much-needed revenue without compromising your time with your family.
Good at scheduling and organizing? Consider being an assistant. Earn $45 to $50 a day executing other people's random tasks either in your own town (such as getting groceries for another family while you're getting some for yours, picking up someone's dry cleaning while you pick up yours, etc.) or assist virtually. The site taskrabbit.com, for example, has a long list of "virtual assistance" gigs you can do via your laptop, ranging from data entry to online research. The best part: You can work from anywhere. The more technical your skills, the more you can charge.
Strong knowledge of a particular subject matter? Try online tutoring. At tutor.com qualified tutors work with students via video conferencing and online chats, earning an average $10 to $14 per hour. Math and science tutors earn the most.
How to get started: You don't have to be a certified teacher to qualify, but you do need to have a college degree or be in the midst of earning one. The process isn't just sign-up-and-start, though--there's an online application, followed by an exam, a tryout session, a background check, and another exam. The good news: You only have to test in the area you'll be teaching, from math and science to writing and job-interview prep.
Love pets and have room in your house or backyard? Make money by pet sitting and pet boarding, that can bring in an average $20 per pet, per day. Parents can even involve their kids with this stay-at-home business.
How to get started: Do an online search for pet boarding sites that connect pet owners and pet sitters. For example, sleepoverrover.com, is a Phoenix-based site that handles all advertising, reservations, and payments between pet owners and boarders. (Another option: Partner with a local vet or pet store and ask them to refer people to you.)
Own an up-to-date computer and a landline phone? Turn your home into a call center for reservations or customer service. How to Get started? Many companies hire at-home customer service reps, such as Hilton Hotels and 1-800-Flowers. Pay is usually $8-$10 an hour and you want to set aside at least 15 to 20 hours a week for this, but many times, call centers are 24 hours, so the hours can be flexible.

Here's how RW members rated this race (166 votes).
In short: Well marshalled, good varied route & good parking but sort out the mile markers!In full: What a great morning for a race - sun out & fresh. Only gripe was the mile markers. Mile 4 seemed way out & having clocked it in the car it was only just over 1/2 mile after the 3 mile marker. Mile 5 & 7 seemed to be missing, as backed up by other runners. Something to get right for next year - it cant be that hard!Date of review: January 21, 2007
In short: Unusual distance, nice run. Mile markers (in the right place) would be good :o)Date of review: January 21, 2007
In short: loved it!In full: I enjoyed the hilly roads the muddy canal track stepping through fallen trees, but the sun shone and I finished in a good time.Date of review: January 21, 2007
In short: Very good mixed surface course, and very well organised / marshalledDate of review: January 21, 2007
In short: Greta organisation made it a fun event, even if a little muddy!Date of review: January 21, 2007
In short: Well organised and nice routeIn full: Very well organised. I liked the route too although the hill towards the end was pretty tough.Date of review: January 21, 2007

CBC Chairwoman Marcia Fudge (Ohio)
I am deeply inspired by Shirley Chisholm and her legacy of courage and of service. As the first African-American woman elected to serve in Congress, she was committed to breaking through barriers and overcoming obstacles placed in her way by society's standards. Because of the doors she opened in public service, I and women of color are able to achieve our greatest potential and serve as leaders in communities across this nation and in all sectors of society.

When we started posting the Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule FAQs, we told you we'd update them periodically – and we're doing our best to make good on that promise.
If you're the COPPA cop at your company, you'll want to take a look at the updated FAQ H.5 about verifiable parental consent. What else is different? Revised FAQ H.10 addresses whether the developer of a kid-related app can use a third party – for example, an app store – to get parental consent on the developer's behalf. And don't miss brand new FAQ H.16, which mulls over the liability considerations if a platform wants to help app developers operate on that platform by providing a verifiable parental consent mechanism for them to use.
You'll also see something new on the page: a note at the top highlighting the most recent revisions.
7 Comments>> Leave a Comment | Comment Policy
Thanks you all
Anything we can do to help and Protect Children is not too much. Continue too send me emails and if there is anything I can help with, let me know. Dr Lee Jackson Esq.
Is the link provided to the most recent revision? If one follows the link, there is no H.16 and the top of the page indicates the FAQs were revised in April 2014.
Thank You Very Much
Unfortunately, the FAQs page has not been updated to reflect the changes (last update noted April 2014.) Please update for the world to see!
Thank you!
I'm very happy... and thanks
FAQ H.16 doesn't appear to be included in the current FAQ as of 7.16.14.

Martin Guitar has a contest for a new American songwriter. I'm kinda into singer songwriters these days so I checked it out. Here are the 25 finalists and it's no surprise that a ton of them are based in Nashville or nearby. Click on the name of an artist and a small selection of their songs are there to be played. I'm hearing some great stuff.

MahirLondon.com ordering Experience
Hi everyone, This is hitesh and i am writing a review for Mahir London Green street shop as well as the website mahirlondon.com
I ordered from the website and paid by credit card. My items did not comne for 7 days, i called them and found that they have not even sent my otem. I checked my credit card statement and seen that they have already charged me. I called the order line to make a complaint regarding this false charge, they said they will finally send.
VERY DISSAPPOINTED with the bad level of customers service and the general unhelpfullness of staff on the website order line. When i went to the Green Street shop they said i need to call the order line, which is a surprise i thought i would be able to solve it there, but it was not the case.
Anyway, the website may be flash but the customer service needs a lot of improving and the staff need to be trained better i think.
Buyers should be wary of buying from their website and i would reccommend customers buy at the shop with cash and make sure to get a receipt
Hope this helps people who read this

Hi there, this is a review for the Indian fashion shop called Mahir.
I bought a pair of lengha dress that fell apart in a few weeks. The stitching fell and was loose after such a short time maybe 2 weeks, this was after i wore it 3 times!!! I went to the shop in Green Street and talked to a Manager called Mr Kamal and explained to him that i onlyu wore this dress 3 times and the stitching came apart. He started arguing with me in front of other customers and was VERY aggressive and rude to me.
The customer service i received from Mr Kamal was very bad. I explained that that this was a faulty product and by BRITISH LAW i should get a refund, he said his policy is not to give a cash refund, but a credit note. The shop is breaking the law and REFUSES to admit it. I must say i was upset and angry at the treatment i received and would advise all customers to ask about the refund policy of Mahir Green Street.
Really poor quality products and especially poor policies on returns.
You can't return anything bought from a store for a cash refund, Not worth the price

The passive building industry is rapidly moving beyond its infancy. Ten years ago, passive buildings were rare. Now, there are thousands in Europe, and passive building techniques are making their way across the Atlantic to the United States.
Marvin is answering the need for high-quality, high-style, U.S.-made passive products. We're proud to have received certification from the Passive House Institute U.S. (PHIUS) for both our Ultimate Casement window (shown at left) and our Direct Glaze Polygons. No major U.S. manufacturer can match this record of achievement; in fact, our leadership in passive products was noted in a recent New York Times article.
Handcrafted in the USA, our passive products offer shorter lead times than European options. What's more, our passive-certified windows are designed to look exactly like our regular products. You don't give up any design flexibility with Marvin passive-certified windows.
Forward-thinking homeowners interested in passive building — or simply in superior energy efficiency overall — owe it to themselves to look at Marvin.

The Top 10 Cocktail Tables
Designers Aurélien Gallet and Beth Martin toast these modern-day essentials that take a dramatic leading role in virtually every living room
By Laura Regensdorf
square bar table By fran taubman for ralph pucci international
This table's bronze bars earn Gallet's approval. "I love geometric designs, and this is so well crafted," he says. To Martin, the interlocking base has an architectural look. "It recalls the girders of a building," she says, "and the glass top lets you see the structure from various directions." She imagines it as a functional art piece, providing a place for drinks during parties but otherwise free of clutter. The table (available to the trade) is also offered in copper. 48" w. x 30" d. x 18" h.; $9,960; ralphpucci.net

Man who declined to attend trial convicted of sex assaultSeptember 18,2013By Patrick McArdle
Staff Writer
BENNINGTON - After deliberating for less than an hour, a jury found a local man, who declined to be in the courtroom for his trial, guilty of a felony count of sexual assault with no consent.
William O. Stanley Sr., 52, had only been out of prison for a few weeks when new charges were filed against him.
Stanley was convicted of escaping from custody in 2005. He declined to attend that trial as well.
The woman who accused Stanley said during the trial, which took place on Tuesday and Wednesday, that she and her boyfriend had gone to the Rutland jail in late September 2012 to pick-up Stanley after the end of the sentence he received for the escape charge.
The woman was related to Stanley but hadn't seen him in 20 years. She had come to Vermont from California in an attempt to reconnect with Stanley.
On Oct. 10, however, she reported that Stanley had touched her on two different occasions on that date. Stanley was arraigned on the sexual assault charge and a felony charge of lewd and lascivious conduct on Oct. 11.
The jury found Stanley not guilty of lewd and lascivious conduct.
The jury convicted Stanley of touching the woman in a Bennington motel room she was in with Stanley and her boyfriend but not for allegedly touching her, later the same day, while the woman, her boyfriend and Stanley were driving in Bennington in a truck.
Stanley was not sentenced on Wednesday.MORE IN This Just InPigs nearly managed to fly in Connecticut, terrorized hikers in Maine and drew a police response...

Health provider uses grass-roots approach to educate families about benefits of diet, exercise.
Each spring while administering the Physical Fitness Test, schools screen the body fat of students in fifth, seventh and ninth grades. Of the test's six fitness areas, the state says the body composition component is the most important indicator of future health problems.
About 95 percent of school districts, including Capistrano Unified and Saddleback Valley Unified, use the Body Mass Index, a number calculated based on weight and height. Depending on how they compare with others of the same sex and age, students are categorized as either very lean, in the "healthy fitness zone," in need of improvement or at-risk.
Children whose BMIs are above the healthy fitness zone are considered overweight. The test's standards are more strict than the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's guidelines, which are the national standard. Although scientists and health officials agree that BMI is an easy tool, some argue it isn't the most accurate way to measure healthy body weight because it doesn't measure fat directly. Fit, athletic children with little fat might be deemed overweight because bone and muscle are more dense.
Here are the percentages of overweight or obese fifth-graders in south Orange County, according to recently released 2013 California Physical Fitness Test results:
Capistrano Unified: 28.8 percent of 3,807 students tested
• Asian: 32.4 percent of 205 students tested
• Hispanic or Latino: 44.8 percent of 989 students tested
• White: 22.2 percent of 2,244 students tested
Saddleback Valley Unified: 36 percent of 2,224 students tested
• Asian: 27.7 percent of 155 students tested
• Hispanic or Latino: 51.8 percent of 670 students tested
White: 28.5 percent of 1,156 students tested

In 1999, the home of the Philly cheese steak topped Men's Health Magazine's list of America's fattest cities. Now, Philadelphia is a model for cities seeking to combat obesity. Programs to help residents lose weight have largely targeted school children. From 2006 to 2010, the obesity rate among Philadelphia's K-12 public school students fell 4.8 percent.
Findings from a 2012 study mirrored similar trends in California and New York City, but big dips among certain racial and ethnic groups were unique. There were declines for nearly all ages, genders and minorities, including an 8 percent decrease in obesity rates among black boys and a 7 percent drop among Hispanic girls.
Cited as potential contributors:
• Sugary drinks were removed from school vending machines.
• The city banned trans-fats and implemented a tough menu-labeling law.
• The school district started to offer nutrition education to students from low-income families.
• The city adopted a policy to make bicycling on city streets safer and easier, and sidewalks more pedestrian-friendly.
• School cafeterias replaced 2 percent fat milk with 1 percent milk and removed kitchen fryers.
Still, almost 9 percent of all teenage students were severely obese – a number the study deemed "unacceptably high." In response, the public health department launched a new initiative that has so far led to the establishment of "wellness councils" in 171 schools; food and fitness standards for city-operated afterschool and recreation programs; and a network of 600 corner stores that promote and sell whole grains and low-fat dairy foods.

They run in similar circles. Karla Lopez del Rio of NeighborWorks Orange County teaches leadership and organization skills to low- and moderate-income residents. Carla DiCandia works for Mission Hospital and is leading its charge to lower obesity rates in similar populations in some south Orange County communities.
When they met about a year ago, at an event with the Sheriff's Department focused on making a neighborhood known as the Villas in San Juan Capistrano safer, a bell went off. "I was like, 'Ding, ding, ding! This is a great opportunity to collaborate,'" DiCandia said.
With help from Creer, a nonprofit community organization in San Juan Capistrano, the two women have supported about a dozen mothers as they work to expand and improve a playground in the Villas, a collection of condos west of the train tracks that is home to a large population of Latino families.
"I'm going to have grandkids soon, and I want them to have a better place to play," Francisca Rodriguez, a 28-year Villas resident, said through a translator.
Mission Hospital is nearing the end of its latest three-year anti-obesity effort. It is organizing and driving parents, community groups, local health-care providers, housing agencies and educators to expand healthy food offerings and exercise opportunities for kids 3 to 11.
"I love what they're doing because it's so grass-roots," said Chris Corliss, who coordinates health and physical education programs for the Orange County Department of Education.
Along with the Fullerton Collaborative and Activate Anaheim, Mission Hospital's effort is one of the most comprehensive anti-obesity projects in the county, Corliss said. Campaigns started emerging in the past five years, as more research was conducted on the relationship between healthy children and learning, he said.
"All of this research data is telling us (that) when we invest in programming and services that help improve health and fitness, we see an immediate impact on learning behavior in the classroom," Corliss said.
To varying degrees, the Catholic hospital in Mission Viejo and its partners are helping six schools in San Clemente, San Juan Capistrano and Lake Forest – cities it identified as having pockets of "high need." That includes areas where residents have low literacy rates, lower incomes and education and "other things that we know ultimately affect peoples' health," DiCandia said.
The group also has begun working with two Mission Viejo schools that some students from the Villas and Lake Forest attend.
When the project launched in 2011, DiCandia calculated the average body mass indexes of fifth-graders in Capistrano Unified and Saddleback Valley Unified school district schools with high percentages of students eligible for federal food subsidies. The result: 41.6 percent were overweight or obese.
The finding was distressing, but not surprising, DiCandia said.
"We actually see 5-year-old children who weigh over 130 pounds," she said. "It's really very sad that kids won't, or can't, rather, in some neighborhoods, go out to play, that it's cheaper and easier for families to buy fast food, that parents aren't enforcing good eating habits at home. There are so many contributing factors."
Historically, according to the Centers for Disease Control, obesity is more prevalent among blacks and Latinos, and is less likely in families where the head of the household has a college degree. The prevalence of obesity also grows as family income decreases, although the majority of obese children are actually from families that are not low-income, which by government standards means they are not eligible for free school meals.
In the eight schools with which the hospital is working, the number of students eligible for free meals ranged from 37 percent to 94 percent in 2012. To qualify, families of four had to earn $29,064 or less before taxes.

I walked and shopped all day. The only thing is it was hot due to the month of August, and smoking! The hotel has two PCs on the 1st floor to send or to check your E-mails. The staff and the reception desk are muti- lingual and very knowledge and friendly.
I enjoyed talking to all of them, and they even speak Arabic. I felt I was home, and very welcomed. I enjoyed dinner at the terrace restaurant facing the Marmara Sea. The food is of an excellent quality, and you can say it is a gourmet presentation, while listening to the evening prayer and a wonderful ocean breeze after a hot humid day. I will definitely stay again visiting Istanbul at the president.

President Suite + pool = great for familyfrom DemMom
Great Staff and Superb Locationfrom A TripAdvisor Member
The exterior of the Hotel was under renovation which was completed during my stay.
Breakfast is given on the 6 floor with a marvelous view of Istanbul
The rooms were midsize but big enough to fit an extra bed.
All in all I will stay with The President again and will recommend to anyone . Seriously, you could not want for better staff. We would definitely stay there again.
there are better ones in Istanbulfrom lapyska
There is construction going on --horribly noisy.
Rooms are old, look dirty, and service is nothing special. The hotel looks old too.
Yes, it right next to a tram stop, and grand bazaar, but still, with a little bit of internet research one finds a much better hotel. To me this hotel doesnt give justice to what Istanbul can be....

Great location, but ....from A TripAdvisor Member
However, our room on the top floor suffered from a water dripping problem from the ceiling (reported twice) which gave the room a damp feel, and ruined the decor - the drips had been dripping for several weeks judging by the staining on the ceiling, walls and floor. The free internet access was greeat - however after the 2nd day of our weeks stay our side of the hotel lost reception (again reported - with no result) so I had to keep goingdown to the lobby, abondoning my wife, to keep on-line.
Room service reasonable, and a great soup!

Top Local Tips for Istanbul
Trams/Taxis Use the tram/metro system when you can; it is very cheap. Taxis are also reasonable during the day, but the meters go up by a factor of 1.6 after midnight. Also, frequently you can bargain a fixed price with taxi drivers and not use the meter (some cabbies drive around in circles to run up the meter; this happened to us twice).
great great
Some tips that can make your stay even better Tips: 1. Good restaurant around the corner from the hotel: Sar Restaurant. Friendly service, excellent Turkish food, competitive prices and alcohol served (not on Friday though). 2. Hamam, Gedikpasa Hamam, also 4 minutes from the hotel. 5 YTL cheaper then the ones in the more touristic spots. Excellent value for money. Over 500 year old, friendly people and nice, not wild, massage. Both men and women. Visit www. gedikpasahamami.com for more info. 3. When taking the Bosphorus tour and you want to do more that day, take the boat trip one way and get of at the last stop on the European side (Rumelli Kavagi). There you take the bus to the 4 Levent metro station and there the metro to Taksim. The return trip by boat will get you back in Eminonu around 17.00. This way you still have an afternoon as you will be in Taksim around 13.00
