The South Carolina State Parks Service is excited to announce the launch of 'Making Memories,' a yearlong photo contest inviting visitors and locals alike to capture, then share, their experiences in South Carolina's state parks. "This unique photo contest gives tourists, and South Carolinians, the opportunity to share their favorite memories of their trip to our beautiful state parks throughout the seasons," said Duane Parrish, Director of the South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism. "Our hope is this contest will drive traffic to these undiscovered locations, while also increasing overall awareness of our 47 state parks." Running now through May 31, 2015, the contest encourages park-goers to snap pictures of their time spent in South Carolina state parks, focusing on three specific categories – wildlife, landscapes and people – during the summer, fall, winter and spring seasons. Quarterly winners will be selected from each category for a total of 12 winners throughout the year. Winners will receive merchandise gift cards provided by Mast General Store. The grand prize winner, selected from one of the top 12 winners and voted on by parks' Facebook fans, will receive an ultimate outdoor adventure package worth more than $1,000. Some of the 47 state parks include, Caesars Head State Park and Devils Fork State Park in the Upstate, Dreher Island State Park and Sesquicentennial State Park in the Midlands and Huntington Beach State Park, Charles Town Landing State Historic Site, Edisto Beach State Park and Lake Warren State Park in the Lowcountry. Admission varies between parks, but ranges from free to $10/person. Amenities at most parks include fishing, walking, biking and hiking trails, paddling and picnics areas. Additionally, a number of parks offer camping and lodging options. "Our state parks are a wonderful, natural asset to our state and through this contest people will be able to see and experience that firsthand," said Parrish.

Coffee with a Cop
99 Merrimon Avenue, Asheville
Saturday, January 24, 2015,
On January 24, 2015 officers from the Asheville Police Department and community members will come together in an informal, neutral space to discuss community issues, build relationships, and drink coffee. All community members are invited to attend. The event begins at 8:00am on January 24 at Bojangles restaurant located at 99 Merrimon Avenue. Please contact Officer Keith McCulloch with questions: 828-259-5834 or at email@example.com Coffee with a Cop provides a unique opportunity for community members to ask questions and learn more about the department's work in Asheville's neighborhoods. The majority of contacts law enforcement has with the public happen during emergencies, or emotional situations. Those situations are not always the most effective times for relationship building with the community, and some community members may feel that officers are unapproachable on the street. Coffee with a Cop breaks down barriers and allows for a relaxed, one-on-one interaction. "We hope that community members will feel comfortable to ask questions, bring concerns, or simply get to know our officers," said Crime Prevention Officer Keith McCulloch. "These interactions are the foundation of community partnerships." Coffee with a Cop is a national initiative supported by The United States Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services. Similar events are being held across the county, as local police departments strive to make lasting connections with the communities they serve. The program aims to advance the practice of community policing through improving relationships between police officers and community members one cup of coffee at a time.

Downward Dog
Downward dog is one of the hottest yoga poses of all. It gets you in the mood for love by boosting blood flow and warming your body. You'll feel invigorated, yet focused on the moment. On top of that it also provides increased flexibility and releases tension. What more could you ask for from a sexy yoga pose?
The eagle yoga pose is sexy enough to have made it into the 'Kama Sutra.' It involves legs and arms being wrapped around each other. This not only looks hot — it also causes a rush of blood to the pelvic area when you unwind!
The plow pose might be just what you need to kick your libido up a notch. That's because it revs up blood flow to the brain. This has the effect of renewing your energy and awakening your senses.

Palau Culture
The people of Belau, as the islanders call their homeland, may appear to be among the most Westernized of all Micronesians in their casual American togs and baseball caps. However, they still frown upon skimpy beach attire away from the water, and most homes and many public buildings require that you leave your shoes near the door. Furthermore, many traditional rites have been retained over the years, such as those for a first-born child, and village chiefs still command an important role in the social hierarchy.
Most Palauans are Christian, with the Catholic and Protestant churches well established and Jehovah's Witnesses, Seventh-Day Adventists and Bahais gaining in membership. Modekngei is a revived form of the indigenous religion, which also shows up in traditions such as leaving a light on to ward off spooks. Staples of the traditional Palauan diet include coconut milk and meat (copra), cassava (tapioca), sweet potatoes and all sorts of fish and seafood. Japanese and American mealtime influences are common. Although not as prevalent as it is on Yap, many Palauans chew betel nut, which when mixed with lime powder produces copious amounts of bright red spit. Old-time chewers are noted by their red teeth, newcomers by the stains on their chins and shirts.
Palauan is spoken at home and in casual situations, while English is more common in business and government. Schools teach both languages, so most Palauans are bilingual from an early age. The South-West Islanders speak some Sonsorolese and Tobian languages. Islanders have borrowed the Hawaiian term haole to refer to foreigners.
Palau Popular Destinations
Koror - Capital of Palau, and home to two-thirds of the republic's population. It is a much less vibrant town than it was when the Japanese called it theirs, with a Micronesian pace and no particular penchant for hustle and bustle. Visitors will still find remnants of a more traditional past, but at best it is good for a day or two of exploration. Beyond that, use Koror as a jumping-off point for trips to the Rock Islands, Peleliu, Angaur and the other islands. On Koror Island, the Belau National Museum is a good place to firm up your understanding of the nation's culture and history. It is packed with exhibits ranging from the mounted head of a 5m crocodile, to Palauan bead and shell money, intricately carved storyboards and other local artifacts and crafts.
Babeldaob - The largest island in Micronesia after Guam, thickly jungled Babeldaob, has a land area of over 400 sq km, which is more than four times the total area of all the other islands put together. Its population is small, as most young people make their way to Koror in search of jobs. Babeldaob is a high, volcanic island of gently rolling hills, with beautiful stretches of sandy beach on the east coast and mangrove forests on the west. Parts of the jungly interior are virtually unexplored, and many of the villages are still connected by ancient stone paths. Many of the island's hillsides were once terraced into steps and pyramids, as archeological research suggest they were probably begun around 100 AD. Their purpose remains a mystery, and even more curiously, only one village was built anywhere near them. The town's most visited attractions are its two bais, one old and one new. The northern Ngaraard State has some of the island's prettiest beaches.
Peleliu - Peleliu was the site of some of the bloodiest battles of WWII. Many of the island's residents today are survivors of that campaign. During the fighting, Peleliu's forest were burned to the ground, but now they ring again with songs of birds, who thrive in the second growth jungle. The island's main attractions are its war relics and underwater sights. There is a small war museum in the main village, Klouklubed. The Peleliu Wall, southwest of the island, is one of the world's finest dive sites, with an abrupt 300m drop and scores of sharks, hawksbill turtles, mammoth gorgonian fans and an amazing variety of fish. Both White Beach and Bloody Beach are good for snorkeling.
Rock Islands - The Rock Islands are Palau's crowning glory. More than 200 of these jungle-topped knobs of limestone dot the waters for a 35km stretch south of Koror. Their bases, having been worn away by tidal action and grazing sea creatures, are narrower than their tops, causing them to look like emerald-hued mushrooms rising from the turquoise sea. It is the waters surrounding them that make the Rock Islands unique. Dive in and you will find some of the most abundant and diverse marine life in the world. The Ngemelis Wall is widely considered to be the world's finest wall dive. Inland, Jellyfish Lake is a marine lake, popularised in the National Geographic TV special Medusa, wherein millions of tiny stingerless jellyfish float and bob in unison. Some of the Rock Islands have soft, white-sand beaches to laze about on after a dive, while others boast attractions, such as caves with dripping stalactites, rock arches and underground channels, ancient rock paintings, and half-carved Yapese stone money.
Palau Beaches
Palau's Best Beaches - For sun seekers, Palau's best beaches are found on the Rock Islands, Babeldaob and Peleliu, but most islands have a few lovely spots to toss down your towel. Local sport fishing catches include marlin, sailfish, tuna, mahi-mahi and wahoo. There are also tennis, running and kayaking possibilities on Koror, if underwater water sports are not your bag.
Moving Around Palau
Continental has daily flights to and from Guam. Far Eastern Air Transport has twice-weekly flights to Taiwan and another option, if traveling from the USA, is a Circle Micronesia air-pass. Other connections are through Guam. The airport is a 25-minute drive from the capital Koror, and travelers leaving Palau must pay a 20.00 departure tax.
There are inter-island boats within Micronesia, but it is rare to find any sort of passenger vessel going to Palau from countries outside the region, aside from the occasional private yacht and live-aboard dive boat. Organized tours focusing on diving and snorkeling. A few hotels provide airport transportation for their guests. Otherwise, there is a shuttle bus service, taxis and car rental available at the airport. Because Koror is the nation's commercial centre, Palauans commonly commute by private speedboat between Koror and their home villages on other Palauan islands. You can sometimes hitch a ride with them by offering to chip in for gas. Ask around at the gas docks. Otherwise, there are occasional flights aboard small Cessnas and weekly trips by government boats from Koror to Peleliu and Angaur.
Visitors are allowed to drive in Palau for 30 days with their home country's driver's license. Driving is on the right, and the speed limit is a doddering 40km/h (25mph).
National festival and holidays
Spring - This season is a busy time around the islands. During the last week in April, or the first week in May, the Palau Sport Fishing Association hosts their Annual Fishing Derby, attracting anglers from all over the region. The islanders' attentions are brought back to shore on 22 April for Earth Day. On 9 July, the Belau Arts Festival highlights the islands' best artists and artisans. The third week of November brings Tourism Awareness Week, an extra dose of haole consciousness, to Palau.
Independence Day - Celebrated on the 1 October each year, it is the most celebrated holiday of the year. It commemorates Palau's independence obtained October 1, 1994. Events include traditional canoe and boat races, swimming contests, and ceremonies.

Eid al-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice or Greater Eid as it is often known, is an important Islamic holiday which commemorates the willingness of Abraham (Ibrahim) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God, and his reprieve at God's command when he was instead allowed to sacrifice a ram.
Eid is also celebrated by spending time with family and friends, and giving thanks for being able to afford food and housing. Traditionally each family would slaughter a domestic animal, such as a sheep, goat, cow, or camel as a sacrificial symbol and, though some Muslims today choose not to (or are unable to) to do this, it is still a very popular tradition. The meat from the sacrifice is then divided into three equal parts to be distributed. The family keeps one third, another third is given to relatives, friends or neighbours, and the final third is given to the poor.
Eid al-Adha is the latter of two Eid festivals celebrated by Muslims and, like Eid ul-Fitr, it begins with a short prayer followed by a sermon.
Eid al Adha is celebrated annually on the 10th day of the month of Dhu al-Hijjah of the lunar Islamic calendar. Eid al-Adha celebrations start after the Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia by Muslims worldwide. This date is approximately 70 days after the end of the month of Ramadan and ritual observance of the holiday lasts until sunset on the 13th day of Dhu al-Hijjah.
Eid al-Adha 2012 (1433) - 26th October Eid al-Adha 2013 (1434) - 15th October Eid al-Adha 2014 (1435) - 4th October

If you are unfamiliar with what exactly makes a custom window treatment so different from its ready-made counterpart, the following might be useful to read before you start the custom design process.
The following are some of the most important advantages of purchasing custom, not off the shelf :
Tailored to your needs. Custom window treatments are made especially for your room the way you'd like. Ready-made window coverings are designed to please the majority of consumers and therefore does not provide the exclusive look that a custom blind or drapery would offer.
A wise investment. On average, consumers who purchased custom window treatments keep them on their windows for seven years. Ready-made counterpart are changed every two to four years. The quality of custom window treatments is better, but going after the look that you really want instead of the look that is available will also keep you happy with your room for many years longer. Many of our clients tell us what a relief it is to finally see a custom window treatment on their windows. Unique window treatments are not easy to find if you're looking for a specific look to fit your room.
See it to believe it. We all know the old saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words." Unfortunately, with custom window treatments, that saying doesn't quite apply. Many of the factors that make a custom window treatment so extra special can't be seen in a picture. We have however provided numerous sample pictures of the window treatments that you are seeking to purchase.
Custom window treatments will give your room a breathtaking "WOW" factor. You and your guests will automatically be in awe by the beauty of your windows.

Hola Unblocker is a new service which enables you to access Hulu, Pandora, Netflix, CBS, Fox, BBC iPlayer TV, and iTV from any country. The best thing about Hola is that it is just a plugin which can be added to either Firefox or Chrome. There is also a standalone version of the software which can be used on Windows PCs.
Update: If you need more solid, 100% working method, read this post: Build your own VPN for less than $2 per month
Update 2: If you need a FREE alternative, try Media Hint which is also a browser plugin.
Update 3: Hola says: "Our service today for Hulu is unstable. We are working to fix this, and will notify on our Twitter (Follow us here) and on our Facebook (Like us here) once we are up again. We hope this service will be back in a day or two. All other services are working."
It's an ad-free, free service and they promise to keep it free in the future too. Since it is not a VPN or do any tunneling, there is no slowdowns and videos buffer less than usual which is good too.
As mentioned on their website, Hola cache content securely when people access them using Hola Accelerator ("using a combination of patented technologies – caching, multiple sources, compression, P2P protocols and other technologies"). It later servers the cached copy rather than the original. This means if you are a US resident who've watched an episode of Vampire Diaries using Hola Accelerator, Hola caches it (audio/video) and servers it to Hola Unblocker users. Since they see a cached version and not requests the original content, no restrictions would be applied whatsoever.
To test out the plugin, I've installed it on Chrome and visited a site I've always wanted to check out, which is Hulu. As promised, the plugin Hola works perfectly and I can watch everything on Hulu without the usual restrictions.
If you are interested as I was, here are the links to download Hola Unblocker. Have fun!

You could tell on bunch plays by Baltimore that the defensive coverage did not know what they were doing. It burned us too. The play calls in that game displayed folks that were nervous. When compared to close games in the regular season, we played loose and called plays to win the game, like throws on 3rd and short. We didn't run on obvious running downs, and we didn't kneel on the ball.
I like where we are going but as Elway needed help in his later years by a great running game, we REALLY need to find a dependable back that can alter what defenses do against our pass game if we are going to take the next step. McGahee and Moreno were not dependable when the games were on the line. Hillman has some potential but limited upside IMO based on what he did last year. Lots of areas to improve but it was a good year overall. We let an amazing opportunity slip away. We had Baltimore down for the count and let them back into it.
Thinking out loud wonder if MJD would be available this offseason
This move alone would propel Denver to the top the NFL. Throw to win run to close out the games.

14K yellow gold bracelet with 4 strands of freshwater pearls and center cornelian shell cameo. Bracelet measures 7½ inches in length and 1 inch in width. Spring clasp closure.
Material: 14K yellow gold, freshwater pearl, and cornelian shell
Brand: Amedeo
Origin: Italy
Cameo-making dates back to the Roman Empire, but jewelry designer Amedeo Scognamiglio's use of alternative materials and contemporary designs revolutionizes the art form. A sixth-generation maker of cameos (two-layered pieces of jewelry hand-carved in bas relief), Scognamiglio taught himself his craft at age 16 — learning the same ancient techniques used by his ancestors for hundreds of years. Today Amedeo is the world's leading manufacturer of handmade cameos, with portraits of refined 19th-century ladies, regal elephants, sweet-looking owls, and countless other designs gracing pendants, bracelets, rings and earrings.

text: Arcelor Mittal announced today that it plans to temporarily reduce output from its European flat carbon steel mills in response to short term developments in the steel market. In particular, the company plans to delay the restart of one of its blast furnaces in Dunkirk, France, by two weeks in the fourth quarter. In addition, the company anticipates scheduled maintenance work on one of its blast furnaces in Avilès, Spain. The blast furnace will be idled as of the first quarter of 2007, ahead of the initial schedule. These moves take place in a market environment marked by stable demand and increasing inventory levels.
