- " For my first hostel experience I was very happy with St Christophers. The reception staff (Jess) was especially great and welcoming on arrival, with lots of good tips and advice on the city. Great location next to the station and in the middle of the new town and old town. Convenient for the Royal Mile and Castle. "
- 26 Jul 2014 Dean England
- " Excellent location, just few steps from train station and bus station and walking distance to all major attactions. Very good breakfast included, even though one of the cheapest hostels in the city. Very clear instructions in the beginning from staff and clean and nice! Thank you! Only minus was the Wifi wasnt working for me =( "
- 24 Apr 2014 Anonymous Finland
- " Excelent location, just aside the bus stop of the special line that comes/goes to the airport, 10min walking for the most important points of interest, with a friendly reception and a sympathetic tea in the privative bedroom. Could be even better only if the breakfast were more organised. "
- 08 Mar 2014 Vanessa Brazil
- " Because when we initially arrived there were primarily school groups, the atmosphere suffered, and the other lodgers weren't as friendly and stuck to their groups. Also, the a shower was broken which made the bathroom less accommodating. The one shower was overused which, frankly, made the bathroom rather disgusting. The staff was very friendly and approachable. The Belushi Bar was a great place to have with the hostel. "
- 18 Feb 2014 Brooke USA
- " Would not recommend this hostel - and we are not fussy. Despite having our own room - it smelt like feet and there were foreign hairs throughout our sheets which just confirmed suspicions it was really unclean. Poor breakfast, cornflakes or white bread were only options, hygiene was an issue here too. Nice reception staff. "
- 13 Feb 2014 matthew New Zealand
- " Nice and cheap hostel with a great location. Staff is really helpful and kind. Downside: the toilets wouldn't flush properly so they would be clogged almost all the time. Free basic breakfast included which was nice. "
- 25 Jan 2014 Anonymous Netherlands
- " Hostel it self nice, Hostel it self nice, especially the view from the window. Though you should put more attention to cleanliness it is not very hard to do. In 14 bed dorm toilets should be checked at least 2 times per day. And it would be very nice to know in advance that for lockers under the beds we need to have our own padlocks. "
- 23 Jan 2014 Anonymous Lithuania
- " This is a great hostel for the money it costs. Cons: no kitchen, only 1 microwave,,wifi not the best. Pros: good breakfast. Would recomend. "

MEK June 23 VillePinte Trans-Atlantic Convention- Support Democracy In Iran
72 years ago today, General Charles de Gaulle, the leader of the French Resistance, announced the start of resistance against Nazism while in exile. His voice still resonates today in the Iranian resistance: "Whatever happens, the flames of resistance must not be and will not be extinguished."
The past three decades have been the most turbulent in the Middle East. The eye of the storm has been Iran. The main element that can capsize the balance for Peace in the region is a pro-democratic group (MEK), feared by Tehran. The group has repeated one message all along its epic struggle against the religious fascists in Iran:
The only pathway for a rational and practical solution for the Iranian crisis is a democratic change brought about by the people and their organized resistance.
This call has been echoed recently in a statement released by the International Committee In Search of Justice, composed of 4000 Parliamentarians; the Bahrain Parliament and the Dutch Senate.
In retrospect the lesson, we learn from the past thee decades is the irrefutable failure of the West and its Policy of bowing to the Ayatollahs. The concept of "changing the nature" of a python to kiss and not bite is as foolish and illusionary as the methodology of begging for "a rational stance" from the mediaeval killers of the Iranian people.
The insatiable nature of a tyranny built on the prism of "religious supremacy"; claiming to represent God on Earth and manipulating religion to build an unprecedented worldwide 'sect," cannot be quenched with diplomatic 'tango'.
For years, the resistance group has engaged its human, financial and organizational resources in making this reality a fact for hallucinated pundits and policy makers who have taken the credit for prolonging the regime's rule for two more decades. Despite their complicity in crimes committed by this regime, these policy makers have failed to provide it with legitimacy and stability it should gain from a public and popular vote.
The message has been crystal clear:
-It has been proven that a viper will never give birth to a dove, meaning that this regime cannot be reformed and the notion of moderation within the velayat-e faqih regime [absolute clerical rule] is a mere myth.
-It has been proven that no alternatives can be found within the ruling theocracy and during an endless cycle of eliminating its splinters and increasingly closing its ranks, the regime is devouring its own factions, just as it has weakened; Moussav;Rafsanjan;Khatami and even Ahmadinejad.
-It has been proven that this regime is demagogic and inhumane; that it cannot stay in power without committing torture, execution and hangings; without war and export of crisis and terrorism.
- It has been proven that it will not tolerate any submission to neutralizing its quest for the nuclear arsenal and with the masterly sleight of hand will use every tactic to buy time and complete its objective.
The regime's pleas for incentives, appeasement and conciliation, as well as the terrorist designation coupled with bloody attacks on its main opposition: a multi-billion dollar smear campaign and mobilization of all pro-ayatollah pundits to fabricating mystery stories against its' most serious opponents, has acted as a lever to forestall the tide of change that would have brought the mullahs' downfall. However, it has not extinguished the flame of resistance.
The 5 plus one in return, have done everything possible to provide hurdles, setbacks and obstacles, in complete harmony with Tehran's objective, to enchain the opposition movement and its untapped reserves.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Letter to the Editor
The inaccurate front page Mercury News story from June 23, 2007 regarding the University of Phoenix features the four-year-old allegations of two former disgruntled employees in a case that has been twice dismissed by the courts.
Reporter Lisa Krieger's story does a disservice to the hundreds of thousands of students who have benefited from a University of Phoenix education. While the overwhelming majority of our employees and students tell positive stories, Ms. Krieger included only the voices of an unhappy minority. The result was a biased, yet admittedly more salacious, article.
Additionally, Ms. Krieger simply got many of her facts wrong. For example, merit-based salaries for recruiters are perfectly acceptable and it's deeply irresponsible to suggest the University could be bankrupted by this baseless lawsuit.
Travis Allen
Bay Area Campus Director, University of Phoenix
7901 Stoneridge Dr., Pleasanton, CA 94588

Buy Klonopin Online - Brand & Generic Klonopin Without Prescription
Reason for using: fright attacks anxiety.Side Effects: some sleepiness when first taking no one after 1 weekI was prescribed klonopin after taking ativan for about 3 years. I skilled a critical fright strike 3 years before and the medical practitioner prescibed Lexapro which made me exceedingly worse. Have serontonin syndrome could not sit, believe, eyes dialated beyon conviction was a tense wreck. Was put on ativan was ok for about 1 year then the ativan appeared to halt employed as good. Went to the medical practitioner Jan 2007 bawling tense etc. He put me on Cymbalta took first dose had a awful answer warm flushes and critical fright strike had to be taken to hospital. When I came dwelling I was agitating for 2 to 3 days. I recognized the medical practitioner had prescribed klonopin and I had taken it to the chemist but not ever selected it up so I dispatched my married man to get it. I took a little less than half of 0.05 mg and after 30 minutes just calmed down completely. Been taking little parts every 8 hours if required and I am doing 100% better as far as the disquiet, agitating etc.... This is the best thing I have taken so far
I have been prescribed numerous cheek medications but now that I am on Klonopin I seem like a emblem new person. I really seem like getting out and being more communal with people.
Reason for using: critical anxiety/irrational thoughts.Side Effects: NoneThis pharmaceutical is amazing. It is much better than Xanax and it appears to contain its life rather well. It actually rests me and I am not over tired. It actually has been a good thing for me. I take 2 .5 milligrams a day and I just wish that I do not proceed through departure symptoms when I try to disembark of it.
Reason for using: Social Anxiety Disorder + Panic.Side Effects: A little drowsiness when I first begun taking it, then no side effects at all. This med actually has worked wonders for my communal disquiet and fright disorder - I seem like I'm eventually dwelling my life.I was uncertain about taking a benzo because they get so much awful promotion but can frankly state that it was the best conclusion I made. I've taken 4mg Clonazepam a day (in 2 split up doses) for communal disquiet for 5 years. It worked directly away, it has granted me self-assurance, eradicated fright attacks, I doze actually well and it seems to augment my anti-depressant treatment. I have endeavoured distinct dosages, and as long as the dose was altered by nothing less than 0.125mg at a time I had no problem. If you are going to take Clonazepam I would suggest going for the Roche emblem as either Klonopin or Rivotril.
Reason for using: temporal lobe epilepsy.Side Effects: Sleepiness for the first twosome of weeks, that is all. Worked very well for my seizures, stopping not less than 3/4. Problem was that it is very simple to get utilised to, and occasionally, I would still have break-through seizures. After some 15 years of taking it, I weaned off it for diverse reasons. Withdrawal was sore and disturbing with powerful side effects similiar to DTs but passed.I find it disheartening that this pharmaceutical, which is primarly demonstrated for commanding convulsions, is being presented out like confectionary for anxiety. It is rather addicting and an addiction and withdrawals can be devestating for disquiet patients. I wish medical practitioners are taking good care of these patients.

Rule would help save historic barns
Roxbury panel proposes waiving rules on setbacks
|The Roxbury Zoning Commission will consider a change to its regulations to help preserve historic barns near property lines, like this one on Botsford Hill Road. Rick Harrison Republican-American
ROXBURY — The Zoning Commission will consider adopting a regulation to allow residents to adapt their historic barns for new uses even if they violate setback requirements.
"If you don't have a use for a barn, they fall into disrepair," Historic District Commission Chairwoman Wendy Walker said. "A barn is a tool. If you have no use for the tool, then how do you save the barn?"

A Montana resident says an energy company has identified the cause of a brief power outage as "deer with wings." Lee Bridges says she was outside with her dogs around the time the power went out when a NorthWestern Energy truck pulled up, giving her a chance to ask the driver what caused the problem.
She says he pointed up and said, "Apparently, we' ve got deer with wings."
Bridges looked up and saw a dead fawn on a power line.
It' s unlikely the animal had an accident while trying to make like distant-cousin Rudolph. Bridges suspects that an eagle dropped its prey and couldn' t retrieve it.
The lineman who removed the carcass from the power line said he' d never seen anything like it.

ATLAS Mission
The Atlas' mission is to bring people together through the arts to share and celebrate a range of artistic expressions and traditions. The Atlas fulfills its mission by:
• fostering the growth of professional and aspiring artists throughout the region through offering opportunity, support and respect;
• providing a collaborative management environment to promote partnerships and appreciation;
• using the arts to give young people a chance to spark imagination, enhance self-esteem, and promote mutual understanding;
• training individuals in the arts and stagecraft to build respect for the arts as a vocation;
• actively engaging its neighbors to make the Atlas a center for community conversation and a force to sustain the economic and cultural revitalization of H Street.
The Atlas' vision is to create a dynamic hub where artists, audiences, seniors, young people, neighbors and arts enthusiasts are actively engaging in and having meaningful conversations about art and ideas. It is the Atlas' belief that the arts have the capacity to connect people and create understanding and respect among them and build a stronger community for all. In this way, the Atlas increases public understanding of the value of the arts in our community, enhances the civic wellbeing of all its citizens, and strengthens Washington, DC's role as an international leader in the arts.
ATLAS History
The Atlas Theater was originally built in 1938 by the Kogod-Burka movie chain. The very first film shown in that 1000 seat theater was the Mickey Rooney vehicle, Love Finds Andy Hardy. The Atlas was one of four movie theaters which once thrived on the H Street corridor.
H Street Northeast, originally known as Swampoodle, was a bustling commercial district for much of the early and mid twentieth century. The neighborhood consisted of Irish, Russian, German, Jewish and African-American residents and business owners who lived and worked in relative harmony considering that much of the city was segregated during this time period. The neighbors even petitioned the city to allow them to have an integrated school but they were denied.
Department stores, music shops, pharmacies and car dealerships all kept company with the Atlas throughout this heyday. In the late 1950s and early 1960s residents and businesses began leaving cities throughout the country for the nearby suburbs and H Street began to lose its neighbors as well. This flight was exacerbated by the riots which followed the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968 and devastated several areas of the city, including H Street. While many buildings were burned and destroyed the Atlas remained.
The neighborhood fell into decline as residents and businesses fled and the Atlas Theater closed its doors for good in 1976. The 1980s and 90s were difficult for the neighborhood as the many vacant buildings provided havens for drug users and the streets became better known for their criminal activity. The Atlas was shuttered and become covered in graffiti and the lights on the historic marquee were dark.
In 2001 The Atlas Performing Arts Center purchased the empty theater with the idea of creating a multiple venue arts center which would be the catalyst for the revitalization of H Street Northeast. The city got behind the idea in 2003 creating the H Street Overlay which divided the street into three sections, the Atlas anchoring the new Arts and Entertainment District. The Atlas' re-opening sparked the economic revitalization that is occurring on H Street, NE.
While the Atlas continues to promote economic development, the board and staff understand that today's performing arts centers may also act as curators of neighborhood identity. Through its programs and service to the community, the Atlas seeks to honor and maintain the history and traditions of H Street, NE while also fostering the changes taking place to renew the H Street corridor. The Atlas seeks to be a center for community conversation, where a range of artistic and individual experiences can come together to be celebrated.
The Atlas presents innovative, thought-provoking performances, and it provides arts education opportunities for DC's Near Northeast community. Today this neighborhood is known as the Atlas District. The Atlas' restored Art Moderne marquee once again shines over H Street which has become a nightlife destination for eclectic dining, music and the performing arts.

Women's cancer screening guidelines
Sunday, November 22nd, 2009
Some women's health experts are worried that new guidelines for cervical cancer screening will get lost in the loud debate over breast cancer testing. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says women should begin cervical cancer screenings at age 21, rather than an earlier age.
Gynecologist Christina Chu treats cancer patients at the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania. She says the standard cervical cancer screening test called a Pap smear detects HPV (human papillomavirus) infections than can lead to cancer. But for teenagers, Chu says those infections often do not become a problem.
Chu: For young girls who have mild or even some moderate pre-cancerous lesions identified of the cervix. These are things that will often resolve by themselves within a couple of years. The immune system will take care of the HPV infection. Those precancerous spots will go away.
Experts say starting cervical cancer screenings at age 21 could prevent unnecessary surgeries that come with remote but serious risks, including infertility or premature delivery if a woman does becomes pregnant.
For women age 21 to 29, gynecologists group now recommends a screening test every two years, instead of annually. Dr. Katherine Sherif leads the Drexel Center for Women's Health.
She says the new guidelines for teens are correct, but she disagrees with the new recommendation for women in their 20s.
Sherif: It has been hammered into us to do Pap smears every year. It is one of the most successful public health initiatives that we've had in this country. If you change it to every other year, I think that's a problem and I think that we are giving the wrong message.
Sherif says she doesn't want women to lose momentum, or underestimate the importance of regular screening in their 20s.

GeForce GT 430 1024MB review -
VGA performance: Crysis WARHEAD (DX10)
Crysis WARHEAD
Dense jungle environments, barren ice fields, Korean soldiers and plenty of flying aliens. There's no denying that this is more of the same, except that here it's a more tightly woven experience with a little less freedom to explore.
With a top-end PC (although Warhead has supposedly benefited from an improved game engine, you'll still need a fairly beefy system) rest assured, developer Crytek has enhanced more than just the graphics engine.
Vehicles are more fun to drive, firefights are more intense and focused, and aliens do more than just float around you. More emphasis on the open-ended environments would have been welcome, but a more exciting (though shorter) campaign, a new multiplayer mode, and a whole bunch of new maps make Crysis Warhead an excellent expansion to one of last year's best shooters.
Crysis Warhead has good looks. As mentioned before, the game looks better than Crysis, and it runs better too. Our test machine, that struggled a bit to run the original at high settings, ran Warhead smoothly with the same settings. Yet as much as you may have heard about Crysis' technical prowess, you'll still be impressed when you feast your eyes on the swaying vegetation, surging water, and expressive animations. Outstanding graphics. Couldn't say more here.
Crysis Warhead then: we up the ante a little more by enabling DX10.

In a 245-172 vote in the House on July 26, the House passed H.R. 4078, the Red Tape Reduction and Small Business Job Creation Act. This legislation, if passed by the Senate and signed by the President, would stop the federal government from imposing many harmful regulations that cripple job creation until the unemployment rate dips below 6 percent. Unfortunately, Harry Reid will block this attempt at stopping Big Government from ever seeing the light of day in the Senate and Obama has promised to veto this bill should it ever reach his desk.
At the time of the American Revolution, there was no direct taxation. There was instead taxes on various transactions which in total added up to a miniscule percentage of their income. Today, for many it is now over 50%. How much corn are we willing to give to those we don't trust to do things we don't want? How long can this continue?
"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the party over to the so-called moderates wouldn't make any sense at all." - Ronald Reagan, Nov. 10, 1964

Profile Assessment? - page 2
I apologize if I have posted this in the wrong place; today is the first day I have ever posted anything on this forum......but I would be grateful for any advice anyone has for me concerning the following: I recently graduated... Read More
- 1Jun 23, '11 by tyvinQuote from Rob72Excellent!Based solely on the three responses you provide (and being familiar with the tests) I would say that you were assessed as being aloof, superior and not a team-player; or, possibly, unable to address conflict, grossly insecure, and not a team-player.
You prefer the "introspective" entertainment of classical music to a group entertainment.
You have never said anything offensive. (I.e., you are either overly impressed with your humility, or you are grossly non-confrontational)
You would not confront someone cutting in line. (You are above such crass behavior and look down on the person, and would be satisfied to revel in your superiority w/o addressing the issue; or, you let people walk over you.
Because the managers are too toopid and lazzy to learn proper interview and assessment techniques themselves, they waste corporate resources on crap such as this. God will put you in the right place. Take this experience as evidence- He doesn't want you working with professional retards. (However un-PC it may be, reliance on these questionnaires, without a personal interview, is evidence of retarded managerial growth. If they can't be trusted to assess prospects, they shouldn't be in position to hire.)
- 1Jun 23, '11 by netglowApproach those tests in this way:
If you are going for a staff nurse position and you are new, you must take the test as a "little indian" - not as a "chief". So, to HR, just about every staff nurse is to be a follower. You are not to be too intelligent, if you are to fill a role where you must follow other's orders, and pay close attention to rules. You also must not be a fighter. You must not be much of the type of person people "go to" for answers or help, although you will reply "sometimes" when asked if people do approach you in this way. If you are going for an advanced position, or especially management, do answer as if you are the independent, problem solver. I know, I know, it's a lot of dumbing down and it actually hurts to take a test like this and put on your stupid little indian disguise, but, if you do, you will pass. Another personality to "put on" for the test taking for a staff nurse position, is that of a 16 yr old teenager looking for his/her first job all wide-eyed and afraid of getting in trouble, never questioning the customer's wants, always obeying those who are superior with a YES MAM/SIR!!, and being sure to have showered and to have arrived to work a few minutes early. Approach every question with, "How would this basket-case 16 yr old answer the question?!" Trust me, do this and you will pass.
- 0Jun 24, '11 by DSkelton711@Rob72,
Really liked your post re: interpreting profile assessment. Guess being able to impress on a face-to-face interaction has gone the way of the cassette.
- 1Jun 24, '11 by Rob72Quote from DSkelton711Oh, Lord! My oldest daughter overheard my wife and I talking one night, and asked, "So a "party line" was like when everyone got on the phone and talked at once...?"@Rob72,
Really liked your post re: interpreting profile assessment. Guess being able to impress on a face-to-face interaction has gone the way of the cassette.
We told her she was half-right.
I dunno. I'm the first-tier for hire interviews, with our unit. HR picks are usually reeeeeaaaaly lousy. I look for someone who actually has a personality, in addition to meeting the position requirements. Must not be too bad at it, I'm still here and everyone else is gone. Maybe they were just smarter...
- 0Jul 28, '11 by firefox9900Don't feel bad. I felt the same way when I was told I didn't pass and said to myself, "what type of people are they looking for?
I agree with everyone about this stupid assessment. How can an organization go by someone's integrity based on this type of assessment, especially if you're honest and that is not consider to be a fact in passing. But I've heard the same thing about the middle road. I guess you will have to be honest in half the questions and dishonest in the other half.

Lisa Lambe
|This article relies too much on references to primary sources. (January 2011)
|Lisa Lambe
Lisa Lambe at Macquarie Shopping Centre, Sydney, in August 2012
|Background information
|August 1
|Musical theatre, Celtic
|Associated acts
|Celtic Woman
Lisa Lambe is an Irish singer and actress and a member of the ensemble Celtic Woman. Her career encompasses roles from the stage to musical theater, film and television, and radio performances.[1] The Irish Times has described her as "the finest singer and actress of her generation on whom a whole new foundation of theatre can be built."
Early career[edit]
Lisa Lambe started out in the performing arts at the age of three, and graduated with a Bachelor of Acting Studies from Trinity College Dublin.[1] She has starred in numerous title roles in theatrical productions throughout Ireland, Europe and the UK. She has been a featured soloist with Ireland's RTE Concert Orchestra, and was a soloist on Ireland's popular TV program The Late Late Show, leading to collaborations with RTE affiliated musicians Shay Healy and Frank McNamara.[1]
Lisa Lambe's vocal roles include The Shaughraun directed by John McColgan (under the Musical Direction of David Downes; at The Abbey Theatre), The Wiremen by Shay Healy (The Gaiety Theatre), and Sweeney Todd (The Gate Theatre). She was nominated for a Best Actress Award at the Irish Times Theatre Awards for her performance in the lead role of Philomena O Shea in Rough Magic's musical Improbable Frequency, where she performed at The Edinburgh Theatre Festival, in Torun (Poland), and in Dublin.[1]
Celtic Woman[edit]
After Celtic Woman's Songs from the Heart tour, in November 2010, Lynn Hilary announced that she was leaving the group to return to Ireland. It was later announced that Lisa Lambe will be joining the group as part of the 2011 tour lineup. On the official Celtic Woman website, she said that she was "delighted to be joining Celtic Woman! It is a privilege to be part of this amazing show and I am looking forward to it being an incredible experience."[1] In early 2014, Celtic Woman announced Lisa Lambe would be leaving to reprise her role as Sorcha, in Breaking Dad, the sequel to Between a Foxrock and a Hard Place which she played a role in previously, which is running at the Gaiety Theatre in Dublin, Ireland, from the 25th of April to the 17th May. However, she is scheduled to return in the summer.
Theater roles[edit]
Lisa has worked with Landmark productions as Sorcha in Ross O Carroll Kelly's The Last days of the Celtic Tiger, as well as performing in plays in many theaters in Ireland, such as the Gate Theatre and Abbey Theatre.[2]
Lisa played Nora Helmer in Second Age's A Dolls House by Ibsen. Roomkeepers Productions: Bleeding Poets by Dan Reardon.

In Celtic Woman's Believe tour, Lambe plays the spoons not only as part of "Téir Abhaile Riú" but also part of her version of "Dúlamán". She is only the second person to be able to play the spoons as part of Celtic Woman, the other being percussionist Raymond (Ray) Fean, who did so during Celtic Woman in 2004.

About Teaching Principle 1
When Earth emits the same amount of energy as it absorbs, its energy budget is in balance, and its average temperature remains stable.

About Teaching Principle 2
The interconnectedness of Earth's systems means that a significant change in any one component of the climate system can influence the equilibrium of the entire Earth system. Positive feedback loops can amplify these effects and trigger abrupt changes in the climate system. These complex interactions may result in climate change that is more rapid and on a larger scale than projected by current climate models.

Technical Details
About the Science
- This interactive activity allows students to learn about how materials, such as snow, ice, and water, differ in their ability to reflect and absorb the sun's energy and how melting polar ice creates a positive feedback loop that accelerates global warming.
- Students investigate how the presence of pollution, such as soot, lowers the albedo of ice and further increases melting. In addition, they observe the decline in Arctic sea ice cover from 1979–2007 and the effect of melting ice on sea levels.
- Comments from expert scientist: Gives a good clear overview of albedo, and importantly, the ice albedo feedback. Nicely steps from basic concept of albedo, to role of albedo in the climate system.
About the Pedagogy
- This interactive visualization is an effective tool that could be used in a discussion or as homework.
- While not a very dynamic presentation, the visualization is effective.

Its overall score is 1.6 points higher than last year, reflecting improved scores in the management of public finance and property rights. Azerbaijan is ranked 13th out of 42 countries in the Asia–Pacific region, and its overall score is above the regional and global averages.Over the 20-year history of the Index, Azerbaijan has advanced economic freedom significantly to become a "moderately free" economy for the first time in the 2014 Index. A series of major reform measures has enabled the country to rise from the status of economically "repressed." Score improvements of 10 points or more have been achieved in nine of the 10 economic freedoms, and Azerbaijan's overall improvement of 31.3 points is the biggest gain of any country.By sharp contrast, Azerbaijan's rule of law has deteriorated over the past two decades and remains fragile, and the level of corruption continues to be substantial. Deeper systemic reforms to strengthen the independence of the judiciary and the protection of property rights are critically needed to ensure the country's continuing progress toward greater economic freedom. Read more about Azerbaijan Economy. Close Background Azerbaijan's dispute with Armenia over the Nagorno–Karabakh region has cost tens of thousands of lives and the loss of about a fifth of Azerbaijan's territory. A 2009 constitutional amendment abolishing presidential term limits allowed President Ilham Aliyev to be re-elected for a third term in October 2013. Oil and gas production, construction, and private investment are increasing, and exports of gas to Russia have also risen. In June 2012, Turkey and Azerbaijan agreed to build the Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline, which will ease Europe's dependence on Russian gas. Negotiations on accession to the World Trade Organization continue. Rule of LawView Methodology Property Rights 20.0 Create a Graph using this measurement Freedom From Corruption 22.7 Create a Graph using this measurement Although anti-corruption laws are in place, corrupt practices permeate all spheres of public life in Azerbaijan. About half of all citizens report having to pay bribes for such services as customs, education, land-related services, medical services, the police, registry and permit services, and utilities. The judiciary is burdened by non-transparent regulations and interference from the executive. Contract enforcement can be lax. Limited GovernmentView Methodology Government Spending 64.8 Create a Graph using this measurement Fiscal Freedom 88.1 Create a Graph using this measurement The top individual tax rate has fallen to 25 percent, and the top corporate tax rate remains at 20 percent. Other taxes include a value-added tax (VAT) and a property tax. The overall tax burden has risen to 12.8 percent of the domestic economy. Government spending is 34 percent of GDP, and public debt remains low. Withdrawals from the state oil fund have been increasing, cushioning public finances. Regulatory EfficiencyView Methodology Business Freedom 73.5 Create a Graph using this measurement Labor Freedom 77.9 Create a Graph using this measurement Monetary Freedom 78.8 Create a Graph using this measurement Business start-up has become simpler. Required procedures have been reduced to six, and no minimum capital is required. However, obtaining necessary permits takes more than 150 days. Despite the lack of a fully developed labor market, labor productivity growth has been slightly higher than wage hikes. Price controls are in place for most energy products, and monopolies and limits on imports also cause distortions in domestic prices. Open MarketsView Methodology Trade Freedom 77.2 Create a Graph using this measurement Investment Freedom 60.0 Create a Graph using this measurement Financial Freedom 50.0 Create a Graph using this measurement Azerbaijan's tariff rate is 3.9 percent. Weak legal institutions and non-transparent regulations act as barriers to trade and investment. The financial sector, dominated by banks, remains stable and relatively well-capitalized. The government has injected new capital into the majority state-owned International Bank of Azerbaijan, raising the state's share in the bank to slightly over 50 percent.

Best Uses
We purchased the General for a high school mascot. We were pleasantly surprised with how professional it looks. Heard many people say "that is a real mascot"! Needed color choice on uniform but easy enough we made our own. The head, hat and boots are what you really need! It is really hot and frequent breaks are needed but we live in Alabama where it is still in the 90's for Friday night football so it certainly exceeded our expectations. Couldn't be more pleased.

Title: Rule
Author: Jay Crownover
Publisher: Self Published/ Indie
Publication Date: Dec 2012
Classification: New Adult Novel
Content: Mature Themes and Scenes
Summary from Goodreads:
Opposites in every way . . . except the one that matters
Shaw Landon loved Rule Archer from the moment she laid eyes on him. Rule is everything a straight–A pre-med student like Shaw shouldn't want–and the only person she's never tried to please. She isn't afraid of his scary piercings and tattoos or his wild attitude. Though she knows that Rule is wrong for her, her heart just won't listen.
To a rebel like Rule Archer, Shaw Landon is a stuck-up, perfect princess-and his dead twin brother's girl. She lives by other people's rules; he makes his own. He doesn't have time for a good girl like Shaw-even if she's the only one who can see the person he truly is.
But a short skirt, too many birthday cocktails, and spilled secrets lead to a night neither can forget. Now, Shaw and Rule have to figure out how a girl like her and a guy like him are supposed to be together without destroying their love . . . or each other.
My Thoughts:
I have to admit I have been avoiding the New Adult genre for a long time now. I feel that the genre should have captured readers who are looking for something more adult than a YA novel but not so erotic like some adult romance novels can be. I feel like this genre should have been perfect but a lot of readers do not like books in this genre so I'm here to say that even if you have been avoiding New Adult I would check out this book because it is worth it!
The moment I started this book I really liked both Rule and Shaw. They both had such big personalities and I instantly felt I was similar to Shaw. Shaw was going to school for medicine, she was constantly trying to keep everyone in her life happy, and she wanted to find that one man who would melt her walls and bring passion into her life. I loved that Rule was a bit out of control, full of angst, covered in tattoos and had a bad boy vibe without really being a bad person. I loved that the two would interact with fire and attitude. I enjoyed that they both felt like real people with real life problems.
The story itself was another element to like of this book. I was taken with the romance because the characters had to suffer for what they wanted with one another. Real life isn't easy and sometimes the road to happily ever after is messy and I liked that these two were so compatible but that they had their ups and downs. I like that it wasn't always easy for them but life is never easy when you are fighting for something you want in life. I also enjoyed the emotional aspect of the story due to both of their pasts being a big mess. Both of them had family issues to work through and I will admit that I was crying at certain points from the heartbreak that these two had in their life.
Overall, I felt this was a great story and I was literally glued to the story and read it in about 24 hours. I'm not saying it was perfect because there were a few cheesy lines and a few editing errors but overall it was just a read that let me relax and enjoy the ride.

I have many Craftsman tools and decided the tool bar would be a handy device to hold regularly used tools as well as current project tools. The tool bar is well made, has a strong magnetic pull and looks good.
Brookfield, WI
via sears.com
I bought this magnet to mount my pry bars on the side of my cabinet because they take up too much space inside my drawers. The magnet is very strong, however there is approximately a 1/8" lip on the top and bottom edges of the magnet bar. This lip keeps tools from making contact with the magnet and therefore anything heavier than a small wrench will not hold, my pry bars included. Mounted vertically where there is no lip on the edge, the magnet will hold my heaviest pry bar in place with no trouble, but then I can only hold one pry bar per magnet, which is not cost effective at all. If the magnet was flush with the face of the bar this would work perfectly. Maybe it is supposed to be flush and I just got a defective unit. Regardless, I will be returning this magnet and searching for a better solution.

"DELICious!! We did pistachios instead of walnuts. It was yummy. This recipe is a keeper."
"Thank you, Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. I made it on Friday just to see how it would turn out and it was amazing! So on Saturday I made 8 loaves. I made the dough and then I cut it in half then, from the half I cut it into thirds so I could braid, then I made 2 mini-challahs. I did add golden raisins."
