• Galgos need homes
Do you have news for us?
Click to contact the newsdesk!
By Frances Leate
NEW homes are desperately needed for thousands of Galgo dogs ruthlessly used for hunting and then left to die.
Galgo rescue charity, The Association Galgos en Familia, say that around 5,000 Galgos are found abandoned on the streets each year.
They claim the hunters, who no longer need the dogs for hunting hares, beat the dogs before leaving them on the streets to die from hunger or from being run over.
The charity has now created a web page to try and rehome as many dogs as possible in Spain and abroad.
The founder and director of the organisation, Vera Thorenaar, has been highlighting their tragic plight since 2008.
She said: "We are aware of the importance of the internet and social networking sites in promoting the adoptions of these dogs.
"We want to make the adoption process for adopting Galgos as easy and accessible as possible that is why we have taken into account these new ways of surfing the net."
As well as the new site, which can be accessed via mobile phones and i-pads, volunteers at the charity have made a series of videos on the Youtube channel encouraging people to volunteer and adopt.
For more information visit the charity's website: http://www.galgosenfamilia.org/en/ or call 607 414 409.

Oh my heart goes out to these dogs and I have tremendous respect for those who help save them.

These people, and many others like them,do so much to help these beautiful animals. They make wonderful pets. I donate when l can to help them to continue their good work, they are so grateful for anything you can spare. I hope some of you will be able to foster or adopt.

We had a talk at our ladies club on thursday by alan and jane who run PEPE,S REFUGE NR MOLLINA. THEY HAVE 82 PLUS DOGS AND A LOT OF GALGO,S. THEY NEED HELP DESPARATELY.
They have a Spanish lady and her partner who are trying to get a group started similar to our RSPCA.
Please spread the word to everyone . You need to get together and maybe a difference can be made.

Re-homing surely isn't the answer all people must be required to develop some understanding of the needs of animals and seeing them creeping around sick and starving has to be placed within their awareness as it really is sickening.

Google Snatch 3 Flawed? Yes... But I've solved the puzzle for you.
"... And so I started thinking what *I* could do to supplement 'Google Snatch Ultimatum'
in a
way so powerful that my buyers
could have a massive breakthrough
before the end of 2009..."
** The Secret Files from my $1,000,000 Vault **
the desk of: Mr.J
Time: 15th Sept 2009,
Re: Special Bonuses Available Only For The Next 50 25 12 Buyers
Internet Marketer,
Mo Latiff, is coming out with the next Google Snatch Sequel... and after an extensive chat with him, I can tell you that Google Snatch Ultimatum is one of a kind and will definitely change a lot of lives in the future.
Google Snatch Ultimatum... otherwise known as Google Snatch 3.
Nice name... but there's more to it what the name suggests... I know because I have a chance to dig into it rather deeply.
Took me a few days and it was worth every minute.
Ok... lets get started with the review shall we?
I am really excited for this one. No seriously.
Getting Traffic online IS a big issue to most marketers.
And most people just fail flat when it comes to this.
Mo latif, creator of the Google Snatch brand is different.
He is rather good (if not the best I've seen) when it comes
to generating traffic. And not just any traffic.
Plus... It's Free targetted traffic which I am talking about here.
And that's the best traffic you'll ever get anytime :)
Why I Liked Google Snatch Ultimatum?
Ok, I literally torn apart the entire package and it's
got some of the best stuff to offer see in this business.
You see when you buy Google Snatch ultimatum not only are
you getting Google Snatch 3 you'll also get the previous
Google Snatch 1 and 2.
There's videos, mindmaps, blueprints and manuals all carefully
written to help the buyers 'Get It'.
Over 400+ pages worth of pure content that mezmerizes even
I am talking stuff inside his book like
"Don't Blog Until You've Read This"
"The Truth About Page Rank"
"Stupid Tricks Marketers Play"
These are just some of the many sections that really
opens my eyes and showed me a whole new level about
google and traffic. I can't help but feel that Google Snatch Ultimatum
is written with genuine intent to help others succeed.
There's just so much in there and I find myself
captivated helplessly throughout the book unable to
take my eyes off the screen... even once.
And not just that...
Latiff understands thoroughly that techniques alone won't get
you far. He goes all out to give you the fundamentals
of success and marketing to ensure your success.
What's unique in it?
I guess I don't have to tell you after reading the above
that the content itself is unique.
Mo leaves nothing out. He shares his dark past... he shares
his recent discoveries... he shares everything he knew
that will benefit his students in the long run.
I mean to say his techniques are everlasting. It won't
matter if google decides to change their already
confusing algorithm over and over again.
And what i really liked about Google Snatch 3 is that
Latif tries his best to keep things really simple where
just one of his business model can be used in partically
any niches with minimum tweaks.
And there's no cost too... because you are not paying
for any of those high converting traffic.
Who is it for?
Based on what I've seen inside Google Snatch, I really have to
say that Google Snatch Ultimatum is suitable for newbies
all the way to advanced marketers.
There's just so much information in there and quite frankly,
a lot of the stuff Mo shares are 'rare' and you definitely
won't see them in your usual traffic course.
So if you are someone looking for more traffic and how to turn
those traffic into sales... this is for you.
Over the years of my time online I've come to realize one thing.
And that is that most people trying to market online will
face a lot of problem with either copywriting or gathering
Which is why, to prepare you for your journey ahead, I
want you to have these as my bonus for you. It is my
most priceless possession and there's a good reason for it.
I owe my success to the contents of these very bonuses
I am handing over to you.
You see... like of the people out there... I too had
trouble with copywriting and pulling in the right traffic
for my business.
But I kissed these problems away a long time ago and I never
looked back.
You really need to conquer this two area if you want to make it big online and that there is
just no secret to it.
Before I go into the details of this special bonus... allow me to ask you a question.
What good is free traffic if you can't convert them into sales?
Good question eh...
The fact of the matter is... Traffic is worthless if you can't convert them into sales or money.
Which is why I've taken the initiative to write this report Mind Control Marketing.
This has never been revealed anywhere else before in the Internet Marketing world. And this is everything it is to reach the decision maker in your customers brain and you'll soon see hordes of buyers lining up your doorway desperate to hand you their hard earned money.
Inside you'll learn the only 6 things that matters to your customers. This book will reveal to you what works and what doesn't.
You'll be able to instantly distinguish why some marketers don't know what they are talking about.
You'll instantly become a conversion expert!
These techniques are scientifically proven by expert neurologist... it's so powerfull no wonder you don't see any of those gurus sharing them around.
You'll even find out exactly which technique inside Google Snatch Ultimatum works better than the rest and how you can replicate the process over and over again.
Be prepared to be showered with heaps of cash.
*Sorry Howie, but after going through your materials... I was shocked with what crucial information you guys have left out...*
To get the most out of Google Snatch Ultimatum, you'll definitely want to learn more about copywriting (Copywriting = Persuasive writing).
Because the bottom line is this. If you can't write you cannot communicate and if you can't communicate you cannot persuade.
Even my friend "Alex Goad" - A very successful internet marketer says this in his blog:
"Let me say it without mincing words: copywriting is the marketer's prime value. If you fall short here, you will NEVER get to the top. Never. "
Here's the thing with Google Snatch Ultimatum. To become successful with it... there's a lot to learn. Stuff like how to tweak and test your landing pages and managing your campaigns. Finding the right niche and where to get your products and how to use google to pull in the best traffic.
Do all that and will you make a rent cent out of it? Maybe... if you're an experienced marketer... if not... it's the doom pit you'll fall into. Why? cause after all the hassle you did for your website and put it up ... there's a high chance you'll see that your landing page not converting into sales at all...
The truth of the matter is... it happens to everyone who is new to the game... It's not because that their product sucked or anything... and it certainly was not because they had no experience...
The bottom line is this...
get this wrong and see all your efforts get dumped into the trash bin together with those rotten eggs...
Now don't get me wrong here... The quality of the Google Snatch Ultimatum is of top quality... it's just that it isn't complete. You can't blame them for not telling you about copywriting right? After all their course is about marketing... not "How to write like a world class copywriter".
With my e-book - Copywriting Power Pack, I am going to teach you everything you need to know in a unique way on how to counter this serious flaw...
What are swipe files you asked? Well here's some definition I got from Wikipedia.
"A swipe file is a collection of tested and proven ads and sales letters. Keeping a swipe file (templates) is a common practice used by advertising copywriters and creative directors as a ready reference of ideas for projects.
Copywriters are not the only ones who can benefit from having a swipe file"
"Swipe files are a great jumping-off point for anybody who needs to come up with lots of ideas.
Swipe files are also commonly used by Internet Marketers who need to gather a lot of resources not only about products but also about marketing methods and strategies."
There... couldn't have said it better myself.
Swipe Files are the easiest ways to inspire you when you are writing the contents for your website your ppc ads or your landing page (All these are crucial to Google Snatch Ultimatum student's success). It is also the best way for you to learn about copywriting. Use them wisely and learn from the work of copywriting masters around the world.
My collection consists of 300+ swipe files. All which you can use to either learn, study or use to spice up your own copies. Take not that these are not just ANY swipe files but my most precious of them all. I use them all the time and will continue to do so for a very long time.
If you are serious in making your dreams come true... then you simple MUST grab my Master Grade Swipe Files.
Don't believe me? Then take a quick sneak peek at my Master Grade Swipe File collection.
Impressed? Wait till you see the rest of the 300 over files... You'll be floored.
Like I said... this is not just any swipe file... only my best of the best ultra effective collection made it into this package. Which is why I am limiting this offer.
Conversion Madness is all about conversions. You'll learn all the Copywriting Essentials from my copywriting power pack. And then you get all the examples you need from my Master Grade Swipe Files.
Conversion madness will then help you skyrocket your conversion rate using little known tricks and psychological triggers that you don't find in your typical e-book.
I've learnt these tricks myself throughout my years of testing on live sites. Yes, it is safe to say that these were my hard earned experience and they work like nothing else. These conversion methods proven to me time after time that it has the ability to convert my visitors into sales and I am pretty confident that it can do the same for you as well.
Google Snatch Ultimatum teaches you everything you need to know about recurring products(so now you know you don't need bonuses that teach you this eh...). They teach you what products to promote, how to find your niche and give you the ability to negotiate with your merchants. They teach you how to do your landing pages as well.
But this also means other buyers are getting the same stuff you did as well. Both the amount of your competitors and the play level will rise significantly. In order for you to survive there's only one way to go from here.
And that is to get your page to be more persuasive using top notch copywriting techniques and then convert them into sales using hidden and subtle triggers.
Such is the purpose of my bonus package. And mark my words, those who were not able to get their hands on my bonuses will regret many years ahead.
See for yourself what these conversion secrets has done for me... with just 1 product! :)
(Maybe I should say that this bonus is actually worth $33k??)
Let's have a heart to heart talk.
There's something you should know about Internet Marketing that no gurus want to tell you.
Have you ever asked yourself this question? Why are you not making a single dime online while a select few are making an absolute killing and living a live of their dreams?
I did...
And I found the answer to this and made a fortune online.
Here's a tip... this is a problem that exists in everyone of us. And if you don't get it fixed... you'll always stay average and you'll never see yourself in the light of success. Every single marketer I've came to know online
knows this.
However... I've got to warn ya.
This isn't any sexy stuff. Which is probably why no one even bothers to tell you this.
Plus... the interesting part here is this. I did a research about this and found out that an amazing 80% of the people fail online because of this problem.
My experience, my insights, my techniques, my research and all these are all yours as a bonus. With this you'll be able to easily overcome this obstacle and start on an amazing journey towards endless wealth.
Remember, this is something you 'must' overcome before you even think about making money online.
The Shortcut is my masterpiece and I've sold thousands of copies of it online. You get it free as a bonus.
If you are interested to read my sales letter for this you can go to the link below and check it out (don't buy it there... it's free as a bonus if you buy Google Cash Sniper from my link below)
With this, I am confident you'll truly be able to find your place online and truly quit your day job.
With this, your purchase on Google Snatch Ultimatum will be complete.
If you join Google Snatch Ultimatum from my link, you'll get these Seminar Videos for free.
(If you've seen these screenshots elsewhere, they are probably stolen from this site.. :/)
Grab these 12 exclusive videos and learn how these industry experts earn their millions online.
Over 12 hours worth of seminar videos that delivers everything that Google Snatch Ultimatum failed to mention about making it big online.
Remember... if you do not know how to start build your own website... these videos will teach you exactly how it is done and much more. Plus.. it's simply easier to learn when you watch them on videos as you'll see it done and performed live.
There is
something very, very important
that you have to know to make money with online - if
you realize it. If it wasn't for this, the results I am about to disclose would not
have happened.
And the funny
thing is, very few internet marketers even know about it... but I will
return to that point. For now, let's discuss
about my discoveries
With one of the methods that I've tried, I was able to earn $4k in 6 weeks with just 1 of my accounts.
Here's another one of my many accounts... $3k in less than a week... not bad for 1 product
My Email Inbox Is Usually Packed With These Every Morning
I can only offer this for the first 50 25 12 because it would be silly to let the whole world know about money making secrets...
Note: If you are serious in making money online then you MUST know the proper way of doing
it right .. If you screw it up.. you might as well pack up and go home empty handed.
Which is why this bonus package is one of the most relevant and will directly supplement Google Snatch Ultimatum's Techniques like never before.
If you are serious in making money with Google Snatch Ultimatum , you absolutely must grab my secret report instead of all the other worthless junks offers out there.
1. Click on the link below.

3. Send me your receipt - forward it to firstname.lastname@example.com - and I will send you access instructions to all the bonuses, as soon as I have confirmed your order.
But, remember to do it fast - my bonuses are not going to be available for much longer... and if you don't get both Google Snatch Ultimatum, AND my bonuses, you are going to lose out to the competition. That much I promise ..
Remember that my bonuses are only available from this web page; no-one else is offering this, and no-one ever will; which means you have a massive advantage over people who have Google Snatch Ultimatum but don't have use my methods to maximize their earnings, AND a massive advantage
over those who don't even have Google Snatch Ultimatum .
P.S - F.A.Q Question 1: Will I Make Money With Google Snatch Ultimatum ?
Answer: Yes, Google Snatch Ultimatum is all about helping you as an individual make a killing online... it becomes so simple once you understand how it works... But... you'll run into trouble trying to solve the flaws of Google Snatch Ultimatum really soon which is why I've packaged my bonuses to solve this once and for all. You have been warned.
P.S.S - F.A.Q Question 2: There are tons of bonuses offered out there. Why should I get Google Snatch Ultimatum from you?
Answer: Because you are smart. My bonuses are packed to help you learn and make money with Google Snatch Ultimatum easier. That's what matters most after all...
Unlike the other bonuses out there that gives you softwares, scripts, private label rights... illegal or unresponsive email lists, and etc...
There are affiliates out there who are giving out ipods, televisions... cameras... as a bonus.
I mean come on man... TOYS? You want toys? Are you serious with your business?

|MSS / layout
The Cantigas de Santa Maria (CSM), composed at the Court of King Alfonso X of Castile in the second half of the 13th century, are a vast repertory of poetry in medieval Galician. The 420 compositions include 353 narratives of miracles of the Blessed Virgin Mary - one of the largest such collections - as well as a large number of devotional and liturgical poems, almost all set to music, and many illustrated by miniatures divided into smaller panels. The CSM are thus more than a body of literature or a miracle collection, they are a cultural project of great importance for medieval literature, music, and art, and for the history of patronage. Alfonso X's 'Cantigas Project' occupied most of his reign (1252-1284) and was seen by him as an important part of both his political survival and his personal salvation. He devoted considerable resources to it, though the organisation of its production, and its relationship to other products of the Alfonsine 'scriptorium', has not been established in any detail.
Four contemporary manuscripts survive: To (the Toledo MS, now in the Biblioteca Nacional de Madrid), T (the códice rico, in the Escorial Library), E (the códice de los músicos, also in the Escorial) and F (the Florence MS, in the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, Florence). They represent at least three different compilations or stages in the elaboration of the Cantigas Project: an early collection of 100 poems to which appendices were added (To); followed by a much expanded and highly ornamental collection of 400 (T+F) of which the second volume (F) was left in an incomplete and possibly disordered state; and a reference collection of 400 (E) with many imperfections and signs of hasty completion.

Tonight Lee Brice will be performing at the 49th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards. Let's learn a little more about him:
1. Lee Brice hails from Sumter, South Carolina where he began his love of music singing gospel at his local church.
2. The song "I Drive Your Truck" tells the story of the narrator's coping mechanism when confronted with the loss of his brother, a soldier who died in combat. While the song is not drawn from Brice's personal experience, but rather from another's story, it was nonetheless important to him. The idea for this track was proposed to Brice by songwriter Connie Harrington and upon hearing the powerful idea, Brice said "I wanted to be a part of it. I was instantly in."
3. The South Carolina native began writing music at a very young age. Says Brice, "I was about 10 when I started to write. I would sit down if I was inspired to write or I would sit down and play, and that would inspire me."
4. Lee Brice and Garth Brooks co-wrote "More Than A Memory" in 2007 which marked the first single in history to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Chart.
5. Brice is not only a talented musician but also an athlete. He received a scholarship to play Division 1 football at Clemson until an arm injury forced him to stop.
6. In July 2010, "Love Like Crazy" set a record for slowest climb into the Top 10 on the country music charts. The track didn't reach the Top 10 until its forty-sixth week on the chart!

I agreed to do this several months ago, before surgery was scheduled. Even then I believed I could still show up and do it, not realizing exactly how debilitated I was going to be. I really wish I could have been there to do the work and see it run, but it was not to be. Francois la Flamme stepped up early on and helped with planning, construction, setup, and then ran the quest at the event. Without him it would not have happened. At the event, Katherine da Feltre and Maggie Hallenberg stepped in and helped run it all day long. Thanks also to Daniel O'Niallagain, a young man who did a great job supporting all three of them in operating the quest. Thanks to Ronald FitzRobert, Plachoya Sobaka, and Kenneth MacQuarrie for donating items for use in the quest. And of course to my lady, Kaitlyn McKenna, whose inspiration and assistance encouraged me to complete much of the quest preparations while I still could.

Dragon_LadyYet another landlady issue!
So early yesterday morning, I start hearing major crash & banging sounds coming from the other side of the wall at the head of my bed.
Apparently my landlady has decided to start doing major renovation work, including the destruction and tearing down of the bathroom on the other side of my bedroom wall.
So I spent the day trying to avoid the incredibly noisy racket (up to 70-80 decibels!!) with my headphones plugged into my computer, but not succeeding entirely.
Will be lodging a complaint against them with the Regie des Logements seeking compensation for loss of peaceable enjoyment of my household – especially since I normally sleep during the day!
Arrgh – I hate them so much! I miss my previous landlady so very much!! 9 months ago

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|5 - 7 nights
The casita started as a traditional Costa Rican house with ventilating block all around the tops of the walls, windows opening to the ocean breeze and an outdoor sink for all the cleaning. We have lovingly renovated it to include thatched roof, a shared laundry with the Casa (a second larger house on the wide lot, also available for rent in green season), an outdoor shower with mosaic floor, and extra large screened terrace with hammocks, dining table and chairs, two loungers and lots of space for outdoor living. A new outdoor sink remains, in a new location, for cleaning fish caught in the gulf. Indoors, there is a kitchen with coffee maker, blender, cook top, fridge, and a flip up coffee bar at the window, facing the ocean. The indoor bathroom has a shower with on-demand hot water. In the living room is a TV and DVD player, a Sarchi rocking chair and a double bed futon couch. Double doors lead to a separate bedroom with double bed (facing the ocean with a large window). The sound of waves lulls you to sleep. Overhead fans and one standing fan keep you cool.
Zancudo is an unique place in Costa Rica, close to the Panama border, quiet and free of any large commercial development. Supplies are bought at either of two tiendas which carry most of the necessities of life and not a lot of extras. Fresh fruits and vegetables arrive at the door twice a week by way of Emilio's truck - some of the most delicious produce you could imagine, as well as cheese and more selections of wine! Fresh fish is available from the fishermen at the point - snapper, corbina, tuna, dorado and shrimp. Somehow, we don't miss 'the extras'.
Playa Zancudo is a 7 kilometre long beach inhabited by about 300 Costa RIcans, a friendly community of expats, and visiting tourists. The beach is spectacular and most of the time almost deserted. Swimming is safe and beautiful - gentle waves in the morning for a peaceful float and swim, or bigger waves in the afternoon for boogie boards. Occasionally, there is bio-luminescence for a magical night swim, When the tide is out, biking or walking the beach is the way to get from one end to the other. If the tide is in, there is a single road that runs parallel to the beach. A car is not necessary, as there is a taxi across the street to take you long distances and from day to day, most places are accessible by foot or bike.
From the large screened terrace at Casita Playa Plata, we watch the ocean through the palms and are often delighted by a visit from iguanas, green parrots, and a great variety of birds that pass through the trees. Scarlet mackaws have recently been spotted flying by... there are also humpback whale and dolphin sightings.
We have a volleyball court with a view of the ocean, ready for the games crowd and chairs ready for the spectators. Sometimes the biggest decision is whether to eat on the terrace or try out one of the beach restaurants, lie in a hammock or read in the shade of the rancho on the beach, enjoy the breeze from the ocean and watch the waves or take the plunge (with or without boogie boards), take the bikes or walk to explore the beach.
Zancudo also has a number of excellent restaurants - two doors from the casita is some of the finest Italian food I've ever had. Lali of Puerta Negra features fresh pastas, sauces and seafood and grows the herbs she needs in pots around the outdoor dining room, hung with canopy cloth ceilings and soft lighting. Sol y Mar is a short walk and always has good food and often live entertainment. The menu includes beef tenderloin with brandy cream sauce, fresh tuna (sashimi and steaks) and much more, some Tico fare, and great fruit batidos. It is also a bar, book exchange and small clothing store. Oceano has fresh bread and pizzas by order, and great fresh fish dinners, as well as special events and menus. Macondo is an excellent Italian restaurant featuring fresh pastas, savory sauces and fresh seafood. There are a several other dining places with excellent menus - Coloso and Katherine's Soda are the favourites of many on the beach, the newly opened Capitanes has great ceviche and pescado entero, Mar y Luna and Soda Loritos for an amazing Tico fish fry, and for a fine dining experience, Zancudo Lodge.

Jim and I are retired Canadians - biologist and visual arts teacher - from Peterborough, Ontario. We had visited Costa Rica several times before we came to Zancudo on the recommendation of a friend in 2010. In the fifth week of our six week rental here, we decided that Zancudo was everything we could ever hope for in a home away from home.
Everyone in Zancudo seems to have the time to visit or pass on a friendly greeting as you move around the area - 'Hola' and 'Buenos dias' must be your first Spanish words when you spend time here. The Ticos and the expat community are very welcoming. I spend my days swimming, biking, reading, exploring local cuisine and making things. Jim loves gardening and fishing. On his first fishing trip out in the gulf, he caught a spectacular dorado - that may have been the moment we decided to stay.
We found this wonderful property - beautifully treed with icacos, almonds, and coco palms, and further enhanced with hibiscus, beach spider lily, bromeliads, heliconia, orchids, and more tropical plants than I could name. It has the perfect location for convenience and safe swimming (grandkids do come for visits) and two great houses - the casa and the casita. We proceeded to make it home - first the casa ( available to rent in green season), where we live for 5 months of the year, and then the casita.
We love it here.
Kristine Atkinson purchased this house in 2010
We are very happy to be in a quiet, friendly, safe, laid back beach community. There are no high rises, condo deveopments, or malls. Life is simple here.
We feel healthier and happier as we spend a lot of time outdoors, get exercise, fresh air and healthful food - fresh and delicious. Socially, we can be as quiet or as busy as we like - we've met new friends on the beach and are coming to know many of the expats and Ticos who live here. It is also possible to become involved with the village life - face painting for the children at the annual festival, games nights, art workshops, potlucks and supper club, holiday parties, Cowboy Days horseback ride, etc...
Costa Ricans say it best - Pura vida.
Facebook: Zancudo Playa Plata for more pictures, videos and news of casa rentals.
Bird-watching, biking and walking on the beach and exploring the area, boogie boarding and swimming in the waves and the warm gulf waters, sampling the fresh fish from the Gulf, fruits and vegetables from Emilio (delivered twice a week), and enjoying the offerings from the various exceptional restaurants. If you are interested in other activities, try horseback riding, world-class surfing at Pavones or beginner surfing a half hour south on the beach, boat tours in the mangroves, kayaking, fishing tours, boat tours to Puerto Jimenez, tours to the Orchid Farm and the Animal Sancutary, snorkeling tours, and ziplining in Golfito.

I worked at Standard Parking part-time (more than 3 years)Pros
If you are a high school/college student you have plenty of time in between lunch hour and when everyone goes home to study or read. There really is not much supervision, the job is easy to do does not entitle much no former experience is needed.Cons
There are a lot of customer problems so if you work for standard parking you much know how to separate business with personal feelings. The company does not value a students schedule it is not flexible it is set in stone and does not respect its part-time employees. There is also no way to advance within the company my former employee instead of giving me a management position in another location she gave it to her daughter. Instead of another employee with more years and experience.Advice to ManagementAdvice
I advice management to REPLACE all of its booth Attending's with the Electronic Machines. That way the company can save its money without having to pay employee's and managers or area supervisors it would cut the company cost greatly as a former employee I felt I did nothing that a 3rd grader students could not do working as a cashier in a booth in a parking garage.Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookApproves of CEO

ABC's innocuous new sitcom about likable underdogs, Back in the Game, could just as easily be called "Luck of the Draw." This Bad News Bears-lite gets a major assist right out of the gate with an enviable time period (Wednesday, 8:30/7:30c) sandwiched between TV's best family comedies, The Middle and Modern Family. Which could always backfire, of course, if the show doesn't live up to ratings expectations, and while this Little League comedy doesn't quite measure up to the big leagues, we shouldn't be surprised if family audiences rally around the team, turning a solid base hit into something potentially worthy of extra innings.

For everyone who gave up on Revolution last season, it might be time to reconsider. The NBC series returns Wednesday (8/7c) as the gritty, post-apocalyptic drama it was supposed to be before becoming overwhelmed by pendants, nanotech and nuclear bombs.
7th Heaven vet Stephen Collins is joining the cast of Revolution for the NBC series' upcoming second season.
Collins' casting was announced Saturday when producers unveiled a new teaser trailer for Season 2 at the show's Comic-Con panel, moderated by TV Guide Magazine's Michael Schneider. Collins will be play Rachel's (Elizabeth Mitchell) father. "[He] brings an entirely new perspective on her...

Revolution's first season was uneven, to say the least, but don't lose faith in the series just yet. The show is executive-produced by Eric Kripke, the same man who turned a simple demon-hunting series into a high-concept war between Heaven, Hell and the two brothers caught in between. If Kripke can positively revamp Supernatural, why can't the same be done for Revolution?
When Revolution returns this fall, it will be a perfect opportunity for the drama to get a fresh start. So listen up, Kripke! Here are our five suggestions on how to fix Revolution:

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

People who constantly wear Bluetooth headsets annoy me. I'll admit it. Yep, it's probably pretentious, judgmental, and just kind of mean, but nonetheless, that's where I stand (see: this highly relevant video). I figure it's only fair warning for you, our readers, going into this review. So, when Samsung offered me a chance to spend some time with their latest high-end Bluetooth headset, the HM7000 (the product naming department was on vacation), I accepted with a good deal of hesitancy.
Following the release of the Thrive in July, Toshiba is now rumored to be working on a tablet that could compete with Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 by coupling a sleek, thin design with a large screen and Android Honeycomb while adding a handful of useful ports that the Tab 10.1 lacks.
Earlier today, an Italian tech blog Notebook Italia brought to light some renders of the alleged tablet killer (their words, not ours) that show a very attractive device featuring a profile as sleek as the Galaxy Tab, but with a microUSB port, microHDMI port, and a microSD slot, along with an interesting grooved frame and a slim black bezel around the 10.1" screen.
One of the most exciting announcements of this week was, without a doubt, the unveiling of the 2 new super-slim Galaxy Tabs, the 8.9 and the 10.1, at the CTIA Wireless conference in Orlando.
If you followed our live blog from the event, you may have already seen the new Tabs in their on state (none of the new Tabs could be turned on at the event), but still images can only tell half of the story.
While the current state of Android tablets is measly to say the least, it looks like that may be changing soon enough, with the Galaxy Tab that we will (hopefully) see announced in 3 days at IFA 2010, the recently announced ViewSonic ViewPad 7 Froyo tablet, and now five new Archos tablets.
Admittedly, the Archos name didn't exactly excite us (this is, after all, the same company that made the resistive touchscreen-impaired, buttonless, Android 1.6-laden, Archos 5 Internet tablet) but after a closer look at what they've got to offer, we think the manufacturer might be onto something here.

You know those nightmares that you have sometimes that wake you up in the middle of the night, but remain vague and diffuse and hard to recall? Your forehead is beaded with cold sweat and your t-shirt sticks to you and your heart is racing and the house feels like it's literally breathing. You sit up in bed, or go to the bathroom to urinate or get a drink of water, and going back to sleep is out of the question, at least in the immediate term. But it's not so obvious as visions of a monster with triple-rows of razor teeth demanding that you drive him to the airport because his plane is leaving in five minutes but you can't find your license and your feet are hands. If you actually try to draw up what was so terrifying, nothing comes. It's just an overwhelming sense of panic and dread. A pervasive and unshakable belief that something in the world is very very wrong. You know those nightmares?
Well someone turned those nightmares into a video:
MOMMY! (See also: The Daymare.) (Via TheAwl. Thanks for the tip, Funtastik.)

Elected: 2002, 2006 Term expires: January 2011
The primary duties of the governor are to oversee all operations of state government and to take the lead in shaping public policy through legislative proposals and agency initiatives. The operation of government is carried out through more than 27 major departments whose heads are appointed by the governor. These department heads, along with the lieutenant governor and chief of staff, make up the governor's cabinet. The departments of revenue and finance are the governor's chief advisors on financial matters; the departments of employment and economic development, labor and industry, and commerce advise the governor regarding economic development, the business climate, and business regulation; the departments of health, human services, education, and corrections advise the governor on various social policies; and the departments of pollution control and natural resources carry out the governor's environmental policies.
The governor appoints people to state boards and commissions and appoints judges for all state courts when vacancies occur. He chairs the State Executive Council, Land Exchange Board, and the State Board of Investment. As commander-in-chief of state military forces, the governor can dispatch the national guard for emergency duty.
The governor reviews all bills passed by the legislature and has the power to veto those of which he disapproves. On occasion, the governor may appear before the legislature. Because of the separation of powers required by the Minnesota constitution, a governor may appear in legislative chamber only with the permission of the legislature. Only the governor has the power to call a special session of the legislature.

This morning, what had been a bad and apparently unshakable cold transitioned smoothly into yet another case of bronchitis. So I got to spend the AM in the hospital. Woo. Hopefully the meds will knock it down before it can transition further into pneumonia.
I can't wait until the docs can clone me a shiny new set of lungs. The current pair seem kinda threadbare.
So, since today was ruined and I'll likely be pretty dead to the world for the next few, please enjoy these meaningless videos:

Minnesota's selection as 2018 Super Bowl site a small win for Dallas Cowboys
It means the Cowboys' quest to host a second big game in 2019 could face competition from just one brand-new stadium instead of two.
It means the Cowboys' quest to host a second big game in 2019 could face competition from just one brand-new stadium instead of two.
Officials with the North Texas Food Bank hope the event will attract attention that will help spur more donations and volunteers. The event also is designed to bring attention to the food bank's new online site, which functions like a smart phone app.
Other leagues and arenas will be watching the tough new restrictions but aren't committed to sweeping changes.
Local officials say hosting the inaugural playoff championship adds intrigue to the game.
Thousands of volunteers will light up the stadium March 23 for Rochester Institute of Technology's Big Shot project.
Charlotte Jones Anderson will help the NCAA plan events for the college basketball tournament.
The debt payoff is following the pattern of Rangers Ballpark bonds two decades ago.
The exhibition match drew the largest crowd ever for a soccer game in Texas.
It's not clear whether such a hub of Super Bowl activity would be required or, if so, whether it would be proposed for either city in the next bid.
The plaintiffs seek money from the NFL and Cowboys after more than 1,000 seats couldn't be finished for the Feb. 6 game.

When they call the phone number they are told to cash the cheque at their own bank and then to evaluate several businesses by using the money from the cashed cheque to purchase products from the named businesses.

this is not a new scam...been hearing about it since the 90's. if people actually fall for it, then that is about that person being uneducated and gullable, just like the phone calls we all get from the "captian" saying we won money over the sound of a ships horn. if you have to send money for anything, its usually fake, such as the lost prince who needs a way home.

I don't get it!!! When are people going to learn that if it seems to good to be true, it usually is!! This type of behavior has been in the news now for years, some people just refuse to pay attention and end up thousands of dollars in debt. I for one have heard this story a number of times, so I certainly wouldn't take part in it. Who would actually send someone they didn't know $4000 - $5000 and tell them to go shopping...the light should have come on right there! All you need is a little common sense people!

|Percy Sheardown
Percy (Shorty) Sheardown was the first great Canadian bridge player, the greatest ever according to Ralph Cohen. Shorty was a brilliant card player and won many titles in the 1930s and 1940s, including the 1936 Chicago. Most of his wins in the '50s and '60s were in partnership with Bruce Elliott, including another win in the Chicago in 1951. Their team with Murray and Kehela ranks as the best Canadian foursome of all time; in addition to their two Spingold wins, the foursome also came third in the 1968 Olympiad Teams with Gerry Charney and Bill Crissey. Sheardown won the Fishbein Trophy as the top performer in the 1964 Summer Nationals, winning the Spingold with Elliott, Murray, and Kehela and finishing second in the Life Master Pairs with Elliott. They successfully defended their title the next year.
Percy Sheardown (1911-1993) spent most of his life in Toronto as proprietor of the St. Clair Bridge Club, which was presented to him by its members upon his return from combat in World War II. Shorty was the first Canadian Life Master.
Of this year's inductees, Kehela, Murray, and Sheardown are also members of the ACBL Hall of Fame.

Rhymes with MANDRAKE
man·drakenoun \ˈman-ˌdrāk\ (Medical Dictionary)
Medical Definition of MANDRAKE
mandrakenoun (Concise Encyclopedia)
Any of six plant species of the genus Mandragora (nightshade family), native to the Mediterranean and the Himalayas. The best-known species, M. officinarum, has a short stem bearing a tuft of ovate flowers, with a thick, fleshy, often forked root. The mandrake has long been known for its poisonous properties. In ancient times it was used as a narcotic and an aphrodisiac, and it was believed to have magical powers. When pulled from the ground, its forked root, supposed to resemble the human form, was said to utter a shriek that killed or drove mad anyone who heard it. Once pulled, however, the plant was said to provide soothing sleep, heal wounds, induce love, and facilitate pregnancy. In North America, the name mandrake is often used for the mayapple (Podophyllum peltatum), a spring forest wildflower.

Big Building Projects Top $1.2 Billion
Posted 2/14/2005 12:00 am
Updated 2 years ago
Click here to see page 1 of the list of construction projects in Arkansas. See page 2, page 3, page 4 and page 5. And click here to see the list of largest subcontractors. (List requires Adobe Acrobat viewer. Click here for a free copy.)
The list of big-bucks construction projects in Arkansas topped $1 billion for a third consecutive year. Included in the roll call of projects valued at $5 million or higher are 100 jobs totaling more than $1.2 billion.
Little Rock had the most projects in this year's census with 18, followed by Bentonville at 10, Rogers with eight, Fayetteville with seven, Springdale at six and Jonesboro with five. These cities were home to more than half the projects in this year's list.
Pulaski County and Benton County each accounted for 23 projects. Washington County had 15. These three counties tallied 61 percent of the projects in the list.
Last year's total of 90 projects approached the $1.2 billion mark, which is on par with this year's top 90. The 2003 list encompassed 62 Arkansas projects worth $5 million or more under construction. Total value: $1.06 billion.
Fifty general contractors are associated with this year's 100 projects. Of these companies, 34 are headquartered in Arkansas.
The firm with the most entries in this year's list is Crossland Construction Co. of Columbus, Kan. The value of its 11 projects, all in northwest Arkansas, totals more than $193 million.
Nabholz Construction Corp. of Conway is building nine projects that together are worth more than $126 million this year. A year ago, the company topped the list with eight projects valued at more than $110 million.
A trio of Little Rock contractors won five or more projects on the list: May Construction Co. recorded seven, valued at more than $73 million; followed by Baldwin & Shell Construction Co. with six, valued at $79 million; and CDI Contractors Inc., five, at more than $78 million.
General contractors based in Arkansas are associated with 69 of this year's projects.
Education-related construction dominated the list with 31 projects. Other popular categories were apartments, 15; healthcare, 13; and retail, 12.
One project that could've made the list this year is the Hino Manufacturing U.S.A. plant in Marion's Railport Industrial Park.
The 400,000-SF project is described as a $160 million development, which no doubt includes equipment for producing Toyota parts and components. Estimates of plant construction costs range from a low starting point of $17 million to $24 million.
Another Toyota supplier, Sakae Riken Kogyo Co. and its American subsidiary, Eakas Corp., has completed site work for another big-dollar industrial project in east Arkansas.
Bids for the 200,000-SF plant in Wynne are being gathered, with construction expected to begin by spring.
Three of the five top projects this year are carryovers from 2004. With the completion of the Clinton Presidential Library, another Little Rock project moves to the top: the $49 million Richard Sheppard Arnold United States Courthouse. It is followed by a new entry, the Tyson Foods Discovery Center, a $45 million project on the company's Springdale corporate campus.
Nos. 3 and 4, Springdale High School and Middle School and Mount Magazine Lodge, are both carryovers.
Jonesboro's Turtle Creek Mall joins the top five as a newcomer at $30.5 million.
This year's top five weighed in at a lighter $203 million, compared with last year's combined $286 million.

Eggplant Parmesan Pizza
From EatingWell.com
Eggplant Parm is spun into a pizza with grilled eggplant, marinara, fresh basil, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Beer pairing: Sweet and bitter elements on this pizza need a similarly balanced beer. A pale ale or amber ale fills the bill beautifully.

- 1 small eggplant, (about 12 ounces)
- Yellow cornmeal, for dusting
- 1 pound(s) Easy Whole-Wheat Pizza Dough, or other prepared dough
- 3/4 cup(s) prepared marinara sauce
- 2 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh basil
- 1 medium clove garlic, minced
- 3/4 cup(s) thinly shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (see Tips & Techniques)
- Preheat grill to medium-high. (For charcoal grilling or an oven variation, see below.)
- Cut eggplant into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Grill, turning once, until marked and softened, 4 to 6 minutes. Let cool slightly, then thinly slice into strips. Reduce heat to low.
- Sprinkle cornmeal onto a pizza peel or large baking sheet. Roll out the dough (see Tip) and transfer it to the prepared peel or baking sheet, making sure the underside of the dough is completely coated with cornmeal.
- Slide the crust onto the grill rack; close the lid. Cook until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Using a large spatula, flip the crust. Spread marinara sauce on the crust, leaving a 1-inch border. Quickly top with the eggplant, basil and garlic. Lay the Parmigiano-Reggiano shavings on top.
- Close the lid again and grill until the cheese has melted and the bottom of the crust has browned, about 8 minutes.
Variations: Pizza on a charcoal grill: Light 6 quarts (about 1 large chimney starter full) of charcoal and burn until the coals are mostly white, about 20 minutes. Spread the coals in an even layer. Place a grate over the coals. Let the coals burn until they are about medium-low. (Grill any toppings for the pizza while the coals are burning down.) To test the heat, hold your palm about 5 inches above the grill rack; if you can hold it there for about 8 seconds before you need to move it away, the fire is medium-low. Transfer the crust to the grill rack, cover the grill and cook the crust, checking once or twice, until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the crust, quickly add the toppings, cover the grill, and cook until the toppings are hot and the bottom of the crust has browned, 5 to 8 minutes. If your crust browns faster than your toppings are cooking, slide a baking sheet under the pizza to keep the crust from burning while the toppings finish. Pizza in the oven: Place a pizza stone on the lowest rack; preheat oven to 450°F for at least 20 minutes. Roll out the dough and place on a cornmeal-dusted pizza peel or inverted baking sheet, using enough cornmeal so that the dough slides easily. Slide the dough onto the preheated stone and cook until the bottom begins to crisp, about 3 minutes. Remove the crust from the oven using a large spatula and place it uncooked-side down on the peel or baking sheet, making sure the underside of the crust is completely coated with cornmeal. Quickly add the toppings and slide the pizza back onto the stone. Continue baking until the toppings are hot and the bottom of the crust has browned, 12 to 15 minutes.

Tips & Techniques
Use a vegetable peeler to shave curls off a block of hard cheeses, like Parmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino Romano cheese.
To roll out pizza dough: When you're ready to get your pizzas on the grill, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Dust the top with flour; dimple with your fingertips to shape into a thick, flattened circle-don't worry if it's not perfectly symmetrical. Then use a rolling pin to roll into a circle about 14 inches in diameter.

ok; it still will not post.
This is my other Browser to see if it will post now. I often have this problem!
Most French nouns, like most English nouns, form their plural by adding s to the singular:
le garńon, the boy les garńons, the boys
lÆķlĶve, the pupil les ķlĶves, the pupils
la feuille, the leaf les feuilles, the leaves
Nouns ending in -s, -x or -z remain unchanged in the plural:
le fils, the son les fils, the sons
la voix, the voice les voix, the voices
le nez, the nose les nez, the noses.
Nouns ending in -eau and -eu add x to form the plural. Most nouns ending in -al, change -al to -aux in the plural:
lÆoiseau, the bird les oiseaux, the birds
le neveu, the nephew les neveux, the nephews
le cheval, the horse les chevaux, the horses
A few nouns have irregular plurals:
lÆoeil (m.), the eye les yeux, the eyes
le ciel, the sky les cieux, the skies
le travail, the work les travaux, the works
It is more than you need at this time but you can save it for later.

Sunset view from Dwejra, Malta. This is an HDR image composed from three exposures at the same aperture. Merged with PhotoMatix and then edited further using Paint Shop Pro.
Hope you like the end result. Given the dynamic range in the actual scene, I think HDR was needed here to better present the visual treat I was enjoying.

I do like the subdued tones. There's enough mystery, enough shadow in the land.

There's sufficient detail in the land but the sky colour and detail has a wonderful 'orton'type feel to iy.

1/2 green pepper
Whir in food processor briefly or use hand blender:
1 jalapeno pepper (optional, of course)
dash garlic powder
chunk of purple onion (a few Tbs)

Add a little salt and stir together. You could also just finely chop the second list of ingredients. Yummy!
