Patzcuaro is one of the most charming and traditional places in Mexico. In this 'pueblo magico' the center plaza('maybe the most beautiful in Mexico') is a 5 minute walk away from the house. This center part of this pueblo is small enough to navigate on foot. The Lake of Patzcuaro and surrounding mountains covered in hues of rich green in combination with the open sky create an incredible landscape. Villages around the lake feature a variety of traditional arts and crafts.
Preservation of the original architectural structure of this colonial era home has remained intact. Modern conveniences like plumbing, electricity, gas heaters, fireplaces, etc. have been incorporated and maintain the charm of an earlier time.
The house has two independent sections with an open patio and garden between. The larger part of the house has two bedrooms (one queen and the other has two twin) with gas wall heaters, full kitchen with eating area, large living room with gas fire place and bathroom with shower. The smaller part of the house has one bedroom (with queen), living room (pull out sofa bed), kitchen with eating area and bathroom with shower. These two independent areas of the house can be rented separately. The patio and covered porch areas display a variety of potted plants and the garden holds a variety of large lush plants that surround the lawn area. It is a peaceful pleasure to sit out in the warmth of the sun reading or having a coffee or wine or maybe just to experience the ambiance of the environment.
The lady who takes care of the house Elizeth is there twice a week, she does not speak English and she is a wonderful person.
Antique furniture and Oriental rugs along with contemporary art and regional Mexican arts and crafts combine to create an interesting and comfortable home. The hand made Talavera style tiles have energized the kitchen and bathroom areas. This house was furnished as a home to be enjoyed by friends and family and now also by a few special vacationers.
These two independent areas of the house are rented separately. Please contact us for available dates and rates even if the calender is marked in red (unavailable) we might have one section of the house available.
Keywords: House
Patzcuaro is a place of historic importance in Mexico. It is one of the few towns that has kept the flavor of 'provincia', and the charm of old Mexico. Patzcuaro is only an hour from the majestic city of Morelia and 3 to 4 hours from Mexico City, Guadalajara or the beach. Nature is spectacular in this part of the country, and still today, it a very quiet and calm little town.
You will find a place to rejuvenate your body and soul. It is close to the main plazas with all they have to offer. You might feel transported to another place and time once you pass through the thick adobe walls of the entrance to find an environment that welcomes you.

Chad and Erin….A Special Date
Posted by Chad March 17th, 2013
What does it mean when a person says….
…….."I Love You"??……..
There can be so many different interpretations of that simple, yet profound, statement of affection. The word "Love" must be defined if we were able to begin to understand the depths of its meaning! Genuine Love has no ulterior motive…it is giving without having an expectation of anything in return. Love is key in any relationship. =)
This past week, I had the wonderful privilege of spending time with my Precious Sweetheart, Erin. <3<3
We went out on a special date for Valentines day (though it was way past Valentines =(. The Bates Family affectionately calls Valentines, "I Love You Day" =). I was so happy to take my Girl out on a special "I Love You" date! It was so precious! We had awesome food, fellowship….and photographers! (BIG GRIN) It was truly an unforgettable evening! I find that no matter what Erin and I do together, we always have the BEST of times! Whether its cleaning the kitchen after a meal, going on a walk, running an errand, or just sitting together…it is simply the BEST ever! I absolutely LOVE getting to know my Best Friend…my Forever Friend!
As you get to know a person, you begin to understand how they think and learn how they respond to different situations. You also get to see their weaknesses and the things that they need to grow in…this is when being a true friend is so important!! Erin is a true friend to me! As we have gotten closer, she has seen my weaknesses and my flaws and she has loved me in spite of my shortcomings! This is a true Friend! Proverbs 17:17a came alive as I thought about what Erin meant to me."A friend loveth at all times…"
Even when I am not loving or I am not responding as I should in a situation, Erin has demonstrated a true Love that has challenged me to my core!
Thank you, Erin! I Love you!
~ Chad

Glad to see two responsible adults in a God called relationship. It is truly a blessing. Wanted to let you guys know I share your experiences with my boys and I hope and pray they put God first in their decisions. May God bless you both in loves journey.

Love following your courtship. It has been a blessing and I love sharing it with my children (2 sons). I will keep both you and Erin in my prayers.
Following Christ,
Chad, I really appreciate what you have shared…loves suffers long and it endures through trial (1 Cor. 13)! God has been teaching me a lot in this area and has encouraged me through a book by Dr. R. T. Kendall on Total Forgiveness. The true essence of total forgiveness can ONLY come from one thing: Christlike love! I love you bro and am praying for you and Erin. Keep your eyes fixed upon Christ because He IS your true identity!
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. " 2 Cor. 5:17

text: The Commander Shepard wiki last edited by RazielWraith on 11/27/13 10:40AM View full history OriginDue to the nature of the series, Commander Shepard can be either male or female (named by the default settings as either "John" or "Jane"), and can have varying histories such as being Earth-born, a "Spacer" or Colony born. The default Shepard is male, (although this default is only applicable in Mass Effect 1) Earth-born and the sole-survivor of a devastating battle.Despite the customizable options, several facts remain true across all "Shepards"; he/she was born on April 11th 2154 and is a graduate of the N7 System Alliance Special Forces Program. Shepard was assigned to the SSV Normandy as an Executive Officer after graduation. During the events of Mass Effect 1, Shepard became the first human Spectre; an elite force that work on the behalf of the Citadel Council.HistoryAs aforementioned, Shepard's pre-service history can alternate greatly. The Spacer background involves the fact that both of Shepard's parents were in the Alliance military, as a result of this, Shepard's early childhood involved traveling from outpost to outpost, cluster to cluster. Never staying in one place for more than a couple of months. Shepard followed in the footsteps of his/her parents and joined the Alliance military at the age of eighteen. The Colonist background involves Shepard being born, and growing up, on the Planet Mindoir, which was a small human colony located in the Attican Traverse (itself located near the Terminus System). The Atticus Traverse was the "frontier" of Citadel-controlled Space, beyond it's borders lay the systems populated by the relatively minor non-citadel species, which are generally regarded as being less-civilized as those species represented by the Council.At the age of sixteen, Batarian slavers raided Mindoir and killed Shepard's closest family and friends. During the massacre, Shepard managed to evade capture until a passing Alliance patrol responded to the rescue plea and rescued Shepard. Two years later, Shepard signed up the Alliance Military. Finally, the Earth-born history dictates that Shepard was raised as an orphan, and drafted into a life of petty crime and underworld dealings. At the age of 18, wanting to escape this life, Shepard enlisted with the Alliance Military.Following on from the early life history, it is possible that Shepard's psychological profile, as based on key events in his/her service record, can differ between three possible choices of Sole-Survivor, War Hero and Ruthless. The Sole-Survivor profile states that during Shepard's service, a relatively simple mission resulted in the rest of his/her unit being decimated in a Thresher Maw attack on the barren planet Akuze. Forced to survive in this hellish environment for weeks before rescue, Shepard underwent immense physical and psychological stress. The War-Hero history states that early in Shepard's military career he/she repelled a Batarian slavers invasion on the planet Elysium single-handedly.Shepard risked his/her life to save many. As an award for Shepard's bravery, the Alliance awarded numerous decorations upon the would-be Commander, a feat that would be repeated time again over his/her military career. The Ruthless history states that Shepard has always adhered to one rule; get the job done, no matter what it takes. Shepard has gained a ruthless reputation, and a certain wariness regarding his/her soldiers, not least because of the battle which took place on Torfan; in which Shepard sent over three quarters of his/her squad to their deaths as well as brutally murdering the attacking Batarians.CreationThe character of Commander Shepard was created by Game Developers Bioware as the main protagonist (and only playable character) to their game Mass Effect, which was released in 2007. Originally an Xbox 360 exclusive, Mass Effect was later ported onto the PC format (in September of 2008) and the Playstation 3 format (December 4th 2012). Commander Shepard's story is the main focus of the Mass Effect franchise, continuing on in 2010's Mass Effect 2, and concluding in Mass Effect 3 which was released on March 9th 2012. Shepard was named after astronaut Alan Shepard, the first American to fly into space.Mass EffectThe first game released in the trilogy introduced the character of Shepard, then a decorated Commander regardless of the choices made by the player in the customization system. The game is set in the year 2183, 35 years after humans discovered abandoned Prothean technology on Mars, and some years after the discovery of the Mass Effect relays which allowed faster-than-light travel to be possible to the human race.The Mass Effect relay which existed in the Sol system (home to Earth) was only a small part of a much greater network which connected numerous systems in the Milky Way Galaxy.At the beginning of the game, Commander Shepard is on board the SSV Normandy, en route to a relatively simple, supposedly low-risk mission to recover the recently unearthed Prothean beacon on Eden Prime. The mission was initially supposed to test Shepard's candidacy for the Elite Special Forces Program titled Spectre, and was being observed by current Spectre, and member of the Turian race, Nihlus Kryik. However, upon arrival it became evident that an unknown alien force was attacking the colony of Eden Prime, and the routine retrieval mission became one of rescue.Upon searching the immediate area, it is clear that Geth forces are attacking, led by the rogue Spectre Saren Arterius. Nihlus confronts Saren, but is killed brutally. After finding the Prothean Beacon, Shepard approached it, only for the beacon to become active and exposing Shepard to ancient knowledge and visions directly into his/her mind. The beacon then deactivates, seemingly destroyed. After the mission, Shepard and the Normandy arrive at the Citadel, and confront the Council with the knowledge that one of their forces as become a rogue. After the initial dismissal of Shepard's declaration, the Commander goes in search of evidence that would prove that Saren is a rogue operative. Confronted with the evidence, the Council instate Shepard as a Spectre, and give him/her a mission; stop Saren.Mass Effect 2In Mass Effect 2, Shepard reprises his/her main character status. Players are able to import their Mass Effect characters, provided that they have beaten the game. Throughout circumstances in Mass Effect 2, the player is allowed to change the appearance of his or her Shepard and is also able to change the class of the character. However, if the player has no save to import or chooses not to import, players are allowed to create Shepard with the same depth (class, psych-profile, appearance) that they could in Mass Effect. However, the events of the previous game are decided by Bioware (with the exception of the Alliance council representative), with many references to side quests in the first game not available.Much of the game focuses on Shepard's relationship with his/her new crew members and the Illusive Man. Shepard's ultimate aim is to take on the Collectors in a suicide mission. And unless the players make the right choices during gameplay, the commander can end up dead as a result.Mass Effect 3Commander Shepard is once again the protagonist in Mass Effect 3. Though it is possible for a Mass Effect 2 to end in such a way that all of the player's characters including Shepard die, such save files are not eligible for upload into Mass Effect 3. The game also features a new iteration of the 'default' female Commander Shepard, in the form of a character whose design was voted on by the community. She is present on the tin case of the Collector's Edition together with the male counterpart as well as other promotional and packaging materials.Mass Effect 3In Mass Effect 3, Shepard must unite the galaxy against the encroaching threat of the Reapers that culminates in a final battle on Earth. Decisions that the player made in the first two games affect specifics of certain events that take place in Mass Effect 3. However, regardless of these specifics, Shepard's main goal is to defeat the Reapers through the activation of a device known as the Crucible. Shepard has four ways to end the war:Destroy the Reapers: In this ending, Shepard shoots a key control panel, causing a massive explosion. Using the mass relays, the energy fired by the Crucible travels from relay to relay, causing all synthetics to be destroyed across the galaxy, including the Reapers, EDI and the Geth. The mass relays and the Citadel are badly damaged but eventually repaired. If the player's Effective Military Strength is high enough, Shepard is shown to have survived, taking a deep breath in a pile of rubble. Otherwise, Shepard is killed.Control the Reapers: Shepard takes control of the Reapers, becoming the new Reaper master consciousness. The Reapers depart Earth in this scenario and the Citadel survives and the Reapers help rebuild the galaxy, including the mass relays. If Shepard is a Paragon, the Commander will "give the many hope for the future". If Shepard is a Renegade, the Commander will "provide the many with a powerful leader".Synthesis: In this ending, Shepard jumps into the Crucible's energy beam, sacrificing his/her life. Shepard's sacrifice transforms all life in the galaxy into a new form of synthetic-organic life. The Reapers depart Earth and the mass relays and Citadel are damaged by the Crucible firing. The Reapers help rebuild the galaxy, including the mass relays, and share the knowledge of the civilizations they have harvested in the past.Refusal: In this ending, Shepard refuses to choose any of the three possible options. The Catalyst acknowledges the Commander's decision and disappears leaving the Crucible unable to fire. The Reapers succeed in harvesting all organic life throughout the galaxy as well allowing the cycle to continue.Many years into the future, Shepard has become a legendary figure known as "The Shepard".QuotesShepard often ends conversations with "I should go". It's said to such an extreme that Female Shepard's voice actor, Jennifer Hale jokingly said "If I had a nickel for every time I had to say 'I should go', I wouldn't have to work anymore. I should go."PersonalityShepard's personality differs wildly depending on the decisions he/she takes. The morality/personality paths come in three varieties Paragon, Renegade, or a mixture of both. The Paragon Shepard is an incorruptible pillar of goodwill, kindness, compassion, and strength. Though constantly making hard decisions, the Paragon Shepard will try his/her best to solve a problem with the least amount of death and conflict. Whether it is rational to try or not. The Renegade Shepard is an anti-hero with one foot in villain territory.Though both versions of Shepard will solve a problem through any means necessary, The Renegade Shepard will attempt to solve the problems through the most sporadic or confrontational solutions. He/she will shoot first and ask questions later. He/She will sometimes shoot even, when there's another equally viable non-violent solution. The "Mixed" Shepard plays each situation by ear. Sometimes he/she works hard to keep everyone alive and sometimes he/she just doesn't care and wants to complete the mission. Regardless of the morality path chosen each Shepard personality share some basic concepts.Above all else, Determination. Shepard, regardless of the perils of imminent death and all personal endangerment, Shepard will not quit, even when the entire universe is in peril, and the universe is getting destroyed around him/her, and the universe begins to weigh on him/her, Shepard never quits. Also Shepard is always a great leader, Shepard is capable of encouraging and inspiring people by his/her mere presence. Miranda Lawson draws attention to this, claiming that Shepard has "that fire that makes someone willing to follow you into hell itself." Regardless each Shepard is witty and snarky and risky.GenderCommander Shepard's gender could be either male or female, it was apparently not recorded by history. In game though, the only thing that gender changes is the romance options. Commander Shepard's doesn't become any less of a badass, nor does his/her competency change, whether male or female. There's only an appearance change and romance options change.RomanceLike every other aspect of the character, Commander Shepard has a multitude of romance choices in each game. In the latest iteration Mass Effect 3, Shepard has options of heterosexual and homosexual options as well as a variety of different alien species. Shepard is even capable of cheating on a partner with another romance option.Mass EffectMale Shepard -Ashley WilliamsFemale Shepard -Kaidan AlenkoMale/Female Shepard -Liara T'SoniMass Effect 2Male Shepard- Miranda Lawson, Tali'Zorah vas Normandy, and JackFemale Shepard- Jacob Taylor, Garrus Vakarian, Thane Krios.Male/Female Shepard- Kelly Chambers, Samara, MorinthMass Effect 3Male Shepard- Miranda Lawson(Only if continued from Mass Effect 2), Tali'Zorah vas Normandy (Only if continued from Mass Effect 2), Jack (Only if continued from Mass Effect 2), Ashely Williams, and Steve Cortez(The first homosexual option for Male Shepard.Female Shepard- Samantha Traynor, Garrus Vakarian(Only if continued from Mass Effect 2)Male/Female Shepard- Kaidan Alenko, Ashley Chambers (Only if continued from Mass Effect 2), Liara T'Soni, Diana Allers.AppearanceShepard's appearance varies wildly, as is defined by the player and comes in millions of different variations. However within the story, Shepard's appearance changes through the moral choices he/she makes. If taking the Paragon or "good" route, Shepard faces is free from any blemishes or scars, accept those chosen by the characters in customization. When taking the Renegade or "evil" route, Shepard face is filled with scars making him/her appear more evil.Player CustomizationThere are many options that the player is able to choose concerning Commander Shepard's history and origins. Shepard can either be male or female; his/her birthplace can be Earth, an off-world colony, or somewhere in space (ie. a ship or space station); and may have a sole survivor, war hero, or ruthless psychological trait. At the time of the first Mass Effect, Shepard was born on April 11th, 2154 and is approximately 29 years old. He enlisted in the Alliance at 18 years old (2172) and is crew member aboard the SSV Normandy under Captain Anderson's command. Shepard's personality throughout the game is mostly determined by the choices the player makes in both dialogue and action.PortrayalJennifer Hale provides the voice of Female ShepardMark Meer provides the voice of Male ShepradTriviaCommander Shepard is named after Alan Bartlett Shepard, Jr., the second person and the first American in space (May 5, 1961). He later commanded the Apollo 14 mission in 1971 and became the fifth person to walk on the Moon.Shepard's birthday (April 11) is the same day that Apollo 13 (an American attempted manned moon landing mission that almost ended in disaster) was launched (April 11, 1970).In the advertising for Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2, only a male Commander Shepard was depicted. For Mass Effect 3, BioWare created a trailer featuring a female Commander Shepard for the first time. In addition, the box-art for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of Mass Effect 3 was reversible, featuring a male Shepard on one side and a female Shepard on the other.The default male face for Shepard is based on that of Dutch model Mark Vanderloo.Shepard seems to speak with a hint of Canadian dialect. This may be because Mark Meer and Jennifer Hale, the voices of the male and female Shepard, respectively, are Canadian.When Shepard is inducted as a Spectre, according to Admiral Hackett, Shepard is, technically, still part of the Alliance military (though Captain Anderson claims otherwise). Therefore, Shepard should still be referred to as a Commander, even though Shepard is outside of the Alliance military's chain of command and answers directly to the Council.Military ranks can, in some situations, be deferred in favor of civilian ranks. Considering the nature and authority of Spectres, it is likely that this is considered to supersede any military rank.The default names of both the male and female Shepard are the names for an unidentified male (John Doe) and female (Jane Doe) respectively.To keep the exact nature of Shepard's return quiet in Mass Effect 2, it is often stated that the Commander almost died, which is not really truthful. The male Shepard would later joke with Jack that he is "technically undead".When stopped by a C-Sec officer on their first return to the Citadel in Mass Effect 2, one of the dialogue options has Shepard say that he/she was "only mostly dead." This may be a reference to Miracle Max's line from The Princess Bride.Commander Shepard appears in another Electronic Arts game, MySims SkyHeroes, as a pilot.Renegade facial scarring in Mass Effect 2 is reminiscent of the effects of dark side corruption in BioWare's Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, as morally questionable actions adversely affect the protagonist's appearance in both games.BioWare held a contest prior to the release of Mass Effect 3 to allow fans to choose a new default face for female Commander Shepard.Quotes-Mira [VI on Noveria] : It looks like you are trying to restore this facility. Would you like some help?- Shepard: Oh crap, a pop-up.[when Mordin asks him to distribute a cure] Just once I'd like to ask someone for help and hear them say, "Sure. Let's go. Right now.

You can fall in line or step aside, but don't get in my way.I'm going to end this war, and I'm going to do it without sacrificing the soul of our species.Hell, Garrus, you were always ugly.

Mark Peters, AIA, engaged in some imaginative planning for this do-it-all kitchen in a slender single-family house of his design in urban Chicago. His clients wanted contemporary style with generous space to entertain, but they knew hectic schedules would mean leaving dishes in the sink on occasion. Peters' innovative solution sections off a 112-square-foot corner of the 500-square-foot kitchen as a convertible space: enclosed, it's a work area; open, it's a kitchen extension for larger gatherings. "We treated it as two different kitchens," he says of the dual-purpose design.
Double-wide, wenge-veneered sliding doors close off the working kitchen, where every appliance but the island cooktop resides. The thin profile of the dark gray concrete block partition wall—along with 10-foot-high ceilings, white laminate cabinets, stainless steel countertops, and translucent glass walls on either end—create an airy atmosphere even when the doors are closed for meal prep.
An ample kitchen island anchors the open area beyond the doors. The island's drawer-filled stainless steel core drops down at one end to support a large wenge table, giving the clients the informal dining area they craved without compromising floor space.
A 12-foot-wide glass door system just east of the island opens to a 750-square-foot deck, more than doubling the kitchen's size when the weather is nice. "We like to make indoor and outdoor spaces flow as easily as possible," Peters explains, "to simplify entertaining."

Whole Genome Sequencing of Triple Negative Breast Cancer Reveals Previously Unreported Mutations
The study, "Genome and transcriptome sequencing in prospective triple negative breast cancer uncovers therapeutic vulnerabilities," was sponsored by the
"The study underscores the potential clinical utility of genomic sequencing to improve cancer care," said
In a sample of 14 tumors from ethnically diverse metastatic TNBC patients, the researchers found significant mutations and other changes in more than a dozen genes through whole-genome sequencing performed on
The study included an "outlier analysis," which assessed expression patterns for each tumor when compared against the other tumors examined in the study. Specific cancer genes overexpressed among tumors in the study's cohort included: ALK, AR, ARAF, BRAF, FGFR2, GLI1, GLI2, HRAS, HSP90AA1, KRAS, MET, NOTCH2, NOTCH3, and SHH. Significantly underexpressed cancer genes included: BRCA1, BRCA2, CDKN2A, CTNNA1,
Each tumor was genomically unique, but nine of the 14 contained alterations in one or both of two particular cellular pathways: RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK and PI3K/AKT/MTOR.
"Genome sequencing will eventually become a standard tool for oncologists," said Billings, "allowing them to tailor therapies to the unique genetic profiles of each of their patients."
Metastatic TNBC is a highly aggressive form of breast cancer that disproportionately affects African-Americans. It is called triple-negative because tumors do not express the estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor or HER-2, the biomarkers successfully targeted in most breast cancers.
Metastatic TNBC also has a poor prognosis once the cancer has spread to other organs, with a median survival rate among metastatic patients of only one year. While TNBC accounts for only about 15 percent of all breast cancers, its more aggressive biology makes it responsible for nearly one in four deaths related to this disease.

Title: snow globes
Date: Aug 07, 2014
These were bought for the boys treat bags (not much selection when it's a girly theme). Excellent choice. We gave each boy a globe and 2 scene inserts, and they loved being able to change it whenever they wanted. The girls were a little disappointed they didn't get one but they had jewelry. Great buy!

Australia's MotoGP world champion Casey Stoner powered back to the top of the overall standings by a single point on Sunday after fending off Spanish rival Jorge Lorenzo to win in Portugal for the first time. The Honda rider, who won the Spanish Grand Prix in Jerez last weekend, dominated the race at Estoril after starting on pole position for the first time this season and now leads with 66 points after three races, with Yamaha's Lorenzo on 65. Spaniard Dani Pedrosa, last year's winner in Portugal and Stoner's teammate, finished third for his 100th grand prix podium - a feat achieved by only six other riders in the past 64 years.
"In the middle section of the race I did not feel so confident and I thought Jorge (Lorenzo) and Dani (Pedrosa) would catch me so I had to find a different way to ride"
Casey Stoner
Stoner made a great start and never lost the lead on a sunny afternoon, although 2010 champion Lorenzo was close on his tail throughout - and particularly mid-race - to keep the pressure up. "In the middle section of the race I did not feel so confident and I thought Jorge (Lorenzo) and Dani (Pedrosa) would catch me so I had to find a different way to ride, some different lines, different techniques," Stoner told television reporters."We felt good on the first lap with the new tyres and everything but as soon as that wore off, we had the most severe chattering we've had this season," he said."I wasn't feeling good, I wasn't feeling comfortable," said the Australian, who again suffered from some of the 'arm pump' muscular contraction problems he suffered in the Qatar season-opener. "Huge pressure from Jorge today and we were lucky to hold on for the win." Duo dominatingIt was the second race in a row with Stoner and Lorenzo first and second and the Honda rider finished 1.421 seconds off his rival. The victory in Portugal meant Stoner has stood on top of the podium at least once in every MotoGP circuit."Casey's rhythm at the end of the race kept us from winning," said Lorenzo, whose first MotoGP Grand Prix win was in Estoril in 2008.
"To be honest I did not expect to finish second"
Jorge Lorenzo
"To be honest I did not expect to finish second," he said. "We had a lot of problems in practice but the bike seems much better in the race." Lorenzo said he had clutch problems in the opening laps, which allowed Stoner to pull away. Pedrosa said he had also had a tough afternoon. "I tried to adapt my riding style because I had some problems in the middle of the corners," he explained. "I tried to improve lap by lap but I couldn't make it." Spaniard Marc Marquez snatched the Moto2 victory on his Suter after an intense last-lap battle with compatriot Pol Espargaro. Germany's Sandro Cortese won the Moto3 race

Galveston-Bolivar Ferry to close Saturday morning
Published On: Nov 15 2013 12:12:55 PM CST
Updated On: Nov 15 2013 12:13:31 PM CST
Updated On: Nov 15 2013 12:13:31 PM CST
The Galveston-Bolivar Ferry will be closed Saturday morning for dredging.
TxDOT says ferry operations will stop between 8-11 a.m. while a dredge pipe is submerged across the Bolivar landing. The dredge pipe will be used to remove excess material that has built up underwater at the landing site.
Officials say the closure was scheduled during daytime hours for safety reasons.
During the closures, passengers are asked to adjust their travel plans.
For more information on the Galveston-Bolivar Ferry, please call the TxDOT Ferry Office in Galveston at 409-795-2230.

But isn't it more security by obscurity, as by limiting the activity time the time window for any trojan to spy the password is smaller.
Also if not enforcing this by default, I assume nobody will really take care of this option.
If the user / admin would know about the problem he would more than that make use of:
fail2ban against bruteforce on the server,
forced (or at least configured) ftps (!= sftp),
forced password policy (complexity)
forced password renewal (aging), optionally with time based deactivation.
To assist the admin, ISPConfig could alert on the ftp tab, if some of the above mentioned mitgation options are not in place.
Just as an additional idea on how to assist solving this issue.

Which is better botox injections or botox creams?
Botox is a brand name for Botulinum Toxin. There are other brands, but all are injectable and must be administered by a competent physician. There are "Botox" creams on the market, but, as far as I know, none have ever been shown to be effective in eliminating muscle function and the wrinkles it causes.
Botox injections are better. They can be placed precisely into target muscles and the quantity used is easily controlled. The topical creams that claim to have effects similar to botox, were studied in the sides of the eye area where fine lines and wrinkles, called crow's feet, deepen from squinting. Here, they were felt to penetrate the thin skin easily and effect the muscle underneath that is closely adherent to the skin, but have not shown an effect in other areas with thicker skin and multiple layers of muscle fibers.
Botox Injections or Creams? – Topical Botox may be available in the near future, but it will only be used for hyperhydrosis and potentially, for the fine crow's feet lines. It will not be efficacious for full shaping of the eyebrows and/or lip areas.

The Mānoa Cliff Trail is an easily accessible hike that is still great for observing native plants. The vegetation along the Mānoa Cliff Trail ranges from Lowland Mesic Shrub land to Lowland Mesic Forest.
Sadly, native vegetation along the trail has been observed to be in rapid decline:
- Recent surveys and our own observations have documented approximately 110 native plant species (as well as at least 115 non-native species) present along the trail or in the vicinity (Mt. Tantalus area), but based on numerous historical records dating back to the late 1800s (Bishop and Smithsonian museum records), 94 other native species are now missing from the area.
- Evidence for rapid decline has also been observed in the population of 'oha wai (Clermontia kakeana), a native shrub in the Lobelia family. In 1980-1983 Coleen Cory, a biology graduate student at California State University, located 104 'oha wai (Clermontia kakeana) plants along the trail as part of her study in pollination biology. When we started this project in 2005 we were only able to locate 16 'oha wai plants in the area.
The current decline has at least two major causes:
- Competition for light and space by quick growing alien plants (weeds)
- The disturbance and destruction of native seedlings and groundcover species by pigs rooting for worms (for example, māmaki (Pipturus albidus) seedlings and a patch of 'ala 'ala wai nui (Peperomia leptostachya) were eliminated by pig rooting in one section of the restoration area cleared of weeds)
Our restoration work aims to protect and promote native plant growth
In 2005, with the assistance of the Conservation Council of Hawai'i, we received a permit from the Na Ala Hele program to restore a section of the Mānoa Cliff Trail between its junctions with the Pu'u 'Ōhi'a and Pauoa Flats Trails. The land is owned by the State of Hawai'i.
Our effort involves manually controlling alien weeds. We have good success such as:
- Koa and mamaki natural regeneration after opening the canopy
- Clermontia kakeana and Bidens asymmetrica from spread seed
- Olona (Touchardia latifolia) and papala (Charpentiera ovata) propagation and outplanting
A fence to keep out feral pigs was constructed in late 2009 by DLNR around 6 acres of the site. We have achieved great success with our work to date

2014 Hurricane Season Forecasted To Be Below Normal
Colorado State forecasters Dr Gray and Dr Klotzbach have just released their 2014 Hurricane Forecast, and it looks like good news for us in Acadiana.
Colorado State forecasters Dr Gray and Dr Klotzbach have just released their 2014 Hurricane Forecast, and it looks like good news for us in Acadiana.
A weather phenomenon in the Pacific could make for a quiet hurricane season in the Atlantic. See what the experts are saying about the upcoming tropical season.
Almost ten years after the storm, researchers are finding ways that hurricanes like Katrina have impacted our state. This new data could help save lives in the post recovery phase of a land falling hurricane.
It's a 50 year tradition, the Acadiana Home Builders present the Home, Garden and Lifestyle show at the Cajudome Convention Center this weekend.
Ice on the roads isn't our biggest problem with frozen precipitation. In Louisiana we've got a much bigger problem with hailstones.
The biggest threat Acadiana might encounter this next hurricane season could be sitting in the palm of your hand right now.
Storm surge maps will now be included in the 2014 hurricane forecasts. This new addition will be a life saver for thousands.
ABC's 'Good Morning America' weatherman Sam Champion is leaving to join the Weather Channel. His last day on GMA will be this Wednesday.
It's the holiday season, and what better way to celebrate than by taking yourself and your friends and family to the movies! December is packed with new releases, whether you're in the mood for action and adventure, heartwarming drama, laughs with the family, or a brand new Martin Scorsese film -- there's something for everyone this Christmas. Read on for our guide to the new movie releases hitting theaters this December!
The national title picture came a little more into focus with Oregon falling (again) to Stanford. But there is still a lot that can happen as we enter the season's final month. Here's what we learned in Week 11 that could shake up the season.

USB Flash Security 126.96.36.199
Lightweight and easy to use
The deployment process is finished almost instantly, with little space required on your hard disk drive and a barely noticeable amount of system resources used. The interface is plain and simple, with a few details regarding model, size and product technical info available, as well as a button to install the security measure on the connected USB memory unit.
In other words, the component installed on your PC is only a means to deploy another component on the flash drive that is able to keep it safe on any computer it connects to.
Install a security component
Hitting the "Install" button prompts you to create a backup of your data, because the storage device undergoes a format operation before the component is deployed. This comes in handy, because everything, including malicious software, is removed.
Enhanced protection with a password
The next step requires you to input a password in order to be able to access content, and even add a hint. Data can be encrypted for enhanced security, by accessing the Details tab. Once the drive is secured, you need to provide the correct security key in order to be able to view, add or modify data.
Have data on the disk encrypted
You might have a little hard time figuring out all the application has to offer due to the rough design. However, there is an integrated help manual to get you out of such sticky situations. Furthermore, if you wish to lift protection, you can always choose to uninstall the component from the USB storage device.
To end with
All things considered, USB Flash Security can definitely maximize security for your data stored on a removable storage device. It is a little rough around the edges though, but if you manage to get past the design you find it easy to use and pretty practical overall.

Presbyterian churches are a Protestant denomination, which developed from Calvinist Church doctrines practiced in Switzerland and France. John Knox was the official founder of Presbyterianism in 1557. One of the main distinctions of a Presbyterian church is that the church is governed by a group of elders. Presbyterians are the largest and most theologically liberal of all American Protestant denominations. With issues such as birth control and abortion, they believe that is up to the individual to decide for themselves. Feel free to browse our directory to find a Christian church near you. More

Cross breeding mud crabs raises prod'n-A A +A
Monday, December 31, 2012
MUD CRABS, especially females that have fat or "aligue," are highly-esteemed gourmet seafood in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, China, and Japan. The Philippines is a mud crab exporter to these countries.
Growing mud crabs and other fish species is envisioned to be a major agriculture program since the Philippines is among world's biggest fishery producers. In 2011, the country produced 15,730 metric tons of mud crabs.
The Bureau of Agricultural Research (BAR) said growing mud crabs is a profitable venture. A farmer can harvest 1,200 kilograms of mud crabs per hectare per cropping of five months. At P400 per kilo, it can give an additional income to farmers of P480,000 per cropping or P960,000 for two croppings a year.
Although a viable project, it has one big problem: continuous seedstocks for continuous mud crab production.
BAR, a line agency of the Department of Agriculture, thought of one possible solution: cross breeding the giant mud crabs from Zamboanga Sibugay and the native crab of Mindoro.
"We're looking at stocking of gravid crabs in mangrove areas, adopting the sea ranching concept," explained Roberto R. Abrera, manager of the Regional Fisheries Research and Development Center-Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources in Mindoro.
Daisy F. Ladra, and aquaculturist and BFAR mud crab specialist, said the cross breeding "is necessary in order to ensure sustainability in a full life cycle production" of the mud crabs.
Crabs should produce seedstocks in order to complete the life cycle, Ladra said. This should be repeated many times over, which is a usual process in a breeding program that aims to start an aquaculture industry.
The study is done through the BFAR's Community-based Participatory Action Research (CPAR) program. "The participation of the community is crucial to its success as part of government's poverty reduction and livelihood objectives," BAR said in a statement.
The main of CPAR is to demonstrate to the community the viability of an introduced program. In the case of mud crabs, Ladra said, "there should be natural breeding which will enable fishpond operators to sustain their mud crab production."
After a year of field trial, the CPAR for the giant mud crab achieved a successful survival program in Oriental Mindoro. "The crabs grew at a weight 350 grams per piece or three pieces in a kilo, making it attractive for the export market," BAR said.
Growing mud crabs is an environment-friendly way to produce food. Fishponds in mangroves which are of brackishwater (freshwater and sea water combination) are tapped as grow-out area.
Since mud crabs are living in mangroves, they don't need commercial feeds. The crabs can subsist on natural feeds like chopped trash fish, animal hide, and snails.
The program has been supported by Oriental Mindoro Congressman Reynaldo V. Umali. Last December 12, 2012, massive mangrove planting took place in the province after the Unified Tree of Life (UTOL) Program. It aims to plant 12 million trees from the highlands to the coastal areas.
Through the technical assistance of BFAR, Congressman Umali has put up his own mangrove nursery where almost 50,000 mangrove seedlings are already produced and planted to denuded mangrove areas.
"We want to regenerate crab population in the mangrove area. Once the trees are planted, more crabs can be raised," assured Abrera.
Researchers noted that there are areas in Mindoro Island that are natural spawning ground for crabs. This makes the province high potential for long term crab industry growth.
"We need to have breeder stocks lay eggs in order to establish a population," Ladra said. "Although there's a natural population of mud crab in Mindoro, it's not enough to start an industry."
There are four kinds of mud crabs in the Philippines: the king crab ("Scylla serrata"), the purple crab ("S. tranquebarica"), the orange or red crab ("S. olivacea"), and the rare green mud crab ("S. paramamosain"). Among the mud crabs, the king crab is the most popular for its fast growth and flavor and is called an "export winner" for its high demand in the international market.

Top Local Tips for Wengen
Travel on the rail system Make sure you get a Jungfrau Rail Pass which entitles you to FREE travel within the selected Jungfrau area for 6 full days... it cost 145CHF (£62) per person and saves a fortune if you're hopping on and off the trains to get to places.
Great activity not in the brochures Anyone visiting this area is able to collect brochures of things to do by the bucketload. However, one of our favourites does not appear in a brochure. If the day looks fine, take the train/gondola to Grindelwald and the bus to Grosse Scheidegg. From there walk down the Rosenlaui valley to Meiringen. This is a long walk but not strenuous (mostly level or slight incline). The scenery is so different to that which dominates much of this area - beautiful streams, working farms and craft industries and considerable woodland. The beautiful mountains are still around but they appear so different from this perspective. From Meiringen it is probably best to return to Wengen on the train via Interlaken as there are more travel options later in the day. Also, if you want to reduce the trip - stay on the bus beyond Gross Scheidegg to Schwarzwaldalp. This can reduce the walk by about and hour and a half.

She also taught immigration law as a visiting professor and adjunct professor at Arizona State University College of Law and served as a judge pro-tempore on the Arizona Court of Appeals. Among her many professional achievements, Roxie was the first woman to serve as the president of the Arizona Bar Association, the first woman to serve as general counsel to the American Immigration Lawyers Association, and a recipient of the American Bar Association's Margaret Brent Award, its highest award given to women lawyers nationally.
Hubert H. Humphrey IV, Chief, Office of Communications
Hubert "Buck" Humphrey joins the Office of Communications as Chief, where he will lead and coordinate USCIS strategic messaging to stakeholders and oversee the community relations, media relations, new media and internal communications divisions. This is a schedule-C political appointee position.
Prior to his appointment, Mr. Humphrey was the Director of Federal and State Public Affairs and Public Relations at ASI Communications, Inc. in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Mr. Humphrey worked with a variety of clients including USTA, AT&T, MySpace, the Dewey Square Group, the State of Minnesota, the City of Minneapolis and the City of St. Paul.

Mr. Humphrey also worked on the 2000, 2004 and 2008 Presidential campaigns in a variety of capacities.
Mr. Humphrey holds a master's degree in Public Administration from Hamline University, St. Paul, MN, and a bachelor's degree in Law and Society from American University, Washington, DC.
Perry Rhew, Chief of the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO)
On, Mr. Perry Rhew entered on duty as the USCIS Chief of the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on September 28, 2009. Immediately prior to his appointment Mr. Rhew served for four years as the first Chief Administrative Law Judge of and head of a new federal adjudicative agency within the Department of Health and Human Services, the Office of Medicare Hearings and Appeals. As Chief ALJ he oversaw the agency's hiring and training of over 570 employees, including ALJs, attorneys, paralegals, legal assistants, docket clerks and administrative staff members, and the opening of four adjudicative bodies around the country in Cleveland, Irvine, Miami, and Arlington. Mr. Rhew was instrumental in the creation of the new agency and in developing the policies and guidance that resulted in a reduction of average processing time for administrative appeals from an average of almost 300 days to under 90 days. He also served on the Secretary's Pandemic Preparedness Council, spoke frequently at public forums, and oversaw the budget planning, training, and staffing models for the agency.
A native of Missouri, Mr. Rhew obtained a B.S. in Psychology from Southeast Missouri State University and his J.D. from the University of Missouri – Kansas City. He served for twelve years in elected office in Missouri, first as a prosecuting attorney and then as a state trial court judge. In that capacity he heard criminal cases, ranging from misdemeanor offenses to capital murder, and civil litigation from uncontested divorce cases to complex civil litigation. He resigned from public office to accept an appointment as a United States Administrative Law Judge for the Social Security Administration in Cleveland in 1997.
AILA wishes to recognize and commend USCIS for the outreach the Office of Transformation Coordination (OTC) has engaged in especially over the last few months and most notably the interactive Collaboration Session and Webinar held on September 25, 2009. This session was extremely beneficial and AILA is eager to continue to work with USCIS as a partner in the transformation process. Are there any updates on the transformation process that USCIS wishes to share with AILA at this time?
Response: Thank you for your participation in the previous stakeholder session. We are planning to have several more in the next few months to get input and feedback on initiatives and business process changes. We will post invitations for the upcoming meetings on the USCIS website.
II. AILA Introduction
AILA recognizes and appreciates the efforts of Director Alejandro Mayorkas and his staff to reach out and engage the public as USCIS develops and implements new programs and avenues to serve its core mission of administering our country's immigration laws efficiently and with fairness, honesty, and integrity. AILA is committed to assisting USCIS in its mission and serving as a partner with USCIS to foster collaboration across all levels of government as President Obama directed in his Transparency and Open Government Memorandum issued this past January.
In particular, AILA values the opportunities for input and dialogue that Director Mayorkas has afforded our organization and other stakeholders in a variety of environments and venues over recent months, and we look forward to continued direct engagement with the Service. AILA especially wishes to acknowledge and commend USCIS for the establishment of the Office of Public Engagement as a noteworthy step in the creation of additional pathways of communication that will offer more opportunities for stakeholder input, and which supplement and complement the avenues of communication that AILA and other stakeholders have historically enjoyed.
In addition, AILA wishes to recognize and commend the efforts that have been made to improve the USCIS website and to enhance customer service activities, including establishing direct email contact with the Service Centers and Service Center Operations (SCOPS). We look forward to partnering with Director Mayorkas and his team in this time of change and transformation as we work toward our shared goal to continue to improve USCIS and the administration of U.S. immigration laws.
Over the course of several prior liaison meetings, AILA has requested guidance on a number of issues, and we wish to acknowledge USCIS action on several of the requests. AILA would like to thank USCIS for issuing guidance, some long-awaited, on adjudication of Physical Therapist/Occupational Therapist petitions, on the treatment of I-751 applications to waive conditions on residence for applicants in divorce proceedings, on the treatment of surviving spouses of U.S. citizens after the decision in Freeman v. Gonzales, 444 F.3d 1031 (9th Cir. 2006), and cases following Freeman, and on the treatment of I-140 Immigrant Visa Petitions involving successors-in-interest issues. We would also like to thank USCIS for re-implementing Premium Processing for R-1 and I-140 petitions.
AILA expresses its appreciation to Director Mayorkas for his commitment to the values of transparency, consistency, integrity, fairness, and balance, and the commitment to reaffirm those values throughout the agency. AILA believes that there already exist memoranda, some incorporated into the Adjudicator's Field Manual, which enunciate principles of adjudication that embody these values, and which deserve reaffirmation. Among the memoranda are these:
Principles in these documents with respect to the examination and evaluation of evidence form the foundation for consistent, secure, fair and balanced adjudication of petitions and applications and efficient granting of immigration benefits to those entitled to receive them.
In our meeting in March 2009, we highlighted AILA's concern about the apparent evolution of adjudication standards in a number of visa categories and lack of announced policy or guidance that was counterproductive to USCIS' transparency goals and a strain on resources for both the agency and stakeholders. While AILA acknowledges improvement in some areas of adjudication standards and the issuance of long-awaited guidance in others, we remain concerned with a number of ongoing trends. The following agenda seeks to offer solutions and refocus our discussion on some of the most pressing issues affecting USCIS and its stakeholders.
