Everyone has experienced snoring at one point or another. Whether it was being kept awake by a significant other or roommate, or being the person who keeps others awake, there are few people who have never encountered snoring. But why do people snore and is there anything that can be done to stop it?
Snoring is produced when structures of the upper airway vibrate, usually as a person inhales. Many different structures can vibrate. These include the tongue, uvula, soft palate, or any other structure that does not have adequate support. The act of sleeping induces a hypotonic state, where the body is completely relaxed. As muscles in the upper airway relax, the airway can become restricted. This causes turbulence as the air struggles to flow, and makes the affected structures vibrate and produce the snoring sound.
So why do people snore? Since not everyone is a snorer, there must be something that determines why one person snores and another does not. There are several risk factors that make it more likely that a person will snore. Obesity is by far the most common. Because of the increased bulk, the airway is already often restricted. This makes it much more likely that the person will snore. Alcohol and other central nervous system depressants also can induce snoring. This is because they can cause the body to relax even more than usual, resulting in snoring. Allergies, asthma, or any illness that involves the upper respiratory system can also cause snoring.
Snoring is not just a problem for the ears of any roommates. A person who snores is at an increased risk of several conditions, the most serious of which is sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a disorder in which a person's breathing stops frequently during sleep. Each episode is known as an apnea, and may last from anywhere from 5 seconds to a minute or more. Someone with sleep apnea may have as many as 30 episodes every hour. This not only disrupts sleep, as the person usually wakes when they cannot breathe, resulting in many other health problems ranging from daytime sleepiness and headaches to death if the person is not able to wake themselves during an episode.
So how can someone stop snoring? The first key is to figure out the cause of the snoring. For many people this means losing weight. In addition, avoiding alcohol and other sedatives before bed can help. If snoring persists, there are some dental and even nasal appliances that can be purchased to help keep airways open during sleep. In extreme cases, surgery is also an option, where part of the soft palate is removed to permanently widen the airway.
While the answer to "why do people snore" may not be a simple one, there are ways to determine why someone is snoring frequently. A sleep study can be prescribed by doctors for a definitive diagnosis. Fortunately there are many treatment options for snoring, meaning that for many people, relief can be found quite readily.

Angels in America Part One: Millennium Approaches
An abridged version of Tony Kushner's Pulitzer Prize winning play. New York City, 1985: the fates of two vastly different but equally troubled couples become intertwined within questionable realms of reality. Louis, a neurotic gay Jew, learns that his partner, former-drag-queen Prior, has contracted AIDS, and as Prior's sickness progresses, Louis's ability to cope deteriorates. Meanwhile, closeted homosexual Mormon Republican Joe Pitt is offered a major promotion by his mentor, a bigoted lawyer named Roy Cohn. For Joe, the potential move and his troubles with his sexuality throw a wrench in his marriage with his valium-addicted, agoraphobic wife, Harper, who lives in a world of hallucinations. As these two worlds collide with flashes of humor, raw honesty, and theatrical magic, Angels confronts the struggles of human nature, identity, and relationships in a turbulent era of American politics while forcing us to question our relationship with time. For mature audiences.

Federation of Engine Re-manufacturers Member
O.E. Quality exchange remanufactured engines for car, light commercial and heavy commercial vehicles. All engines after total remanufacture are dynamometer tested to ensure they conform to O.E. standards of power, smoke emission and performance. This emphasis on total quality enables us to offer an unlimited mileage /12 month warranty for all manufacturers products supplied by Prestige.
No surcharge will be raised at the time of supply. However, if the old unit is returned with a holed cylinder block, incomplete or is not returned within 28 days, then a surcharge will be raised.
Click here for our online enquiry form or call us on 01905 792211 for an immediate quote.
The old core engine is stripped and all gaskets, oil seals, bearings, pistons & rings are discarded. The major components that are to be used are subjected to thorough cleaning processes that include chemical dip, spray wash, abrasive cleaning and final rinsing to flush all debris.
All major components are inspected for wear and discarded where they do not meet specification.
Major components are machined to O.E drawing specification tolerances. The cylinder blocks are rebored or resleeved and finally honed for the essential cross hatch micro finish. The cylinder block is pressure tested. All gasket joint surfaces are remachined to O.E. tolerances. Cylinder head valve guides are checked, resized or renewed as required. The valve seats are recut to ensure concentricity. The head is pressure tested and the valves vacuum tested. Cylinder head face is surface ground to correct tolerance. Crankshafts are crack detected and the journals are reground to next undersize and micro-finished to fine tolerances. Camshaft profiles are reground and journals polished where specification permits. Connecting rods are thoroughly inspected and the small end bushes replaced and re-machined to size (if fitted). Valve faces and stems are remachined, if suitable, otherwise replaced. Oil pumps are stripped and remanufactured as required.
Prior to assembly, all components are thoroughly cleaned to ensure that all contamination is completely removed. The engine is reassembled with all new pistons, rings, crankshaft bearings, gaskets, oil seals, timing chain or timing belt and oil filter. All O.E torque settings are adhered to during assembly. After assembly the engine is tested to ensure oil pressure and compressions are to specification, and that no oil and water leaks are present. The engine is finally painted and packed ready for despatch.

The Manhattan and Philadelphia skylines are just specks in the distance, as your plane slowly climbs. Once it reaches the proper altitude, the cabin doors fling open. It's time to jump. The instructor strapped to your back gives you a nod, and you tumble through the sky, free-falling at 120 mph for nearly a minute before the parachute opens and you drift gently to the ground.
This scenario fills some with fear and others with an intoxicating wave of adrenaline, but for the instructors at Skydive Jersey, it's just another day on the job. That's because for more than 20 years their company has been specializing in tandem jumps, which retain all the thrill of solo jumps without the months of required training. In fact, this group of experienced skydivers can teach first-timers all the essential skills and safety precautions necessary to take the big leap in only an hour. Skydive Jersey even offers group rates for folks who want to skydive with their friends or bring a pet emu along so it can finally experience the sensation of flight.
Delaware River Tubing launches tubes, rafts, and kayaks on five- to six-mile trips down scenic waterways just north of where George Washington historically crossed the Delaware River. Shuttles ferry groups to launch points, where watercraft journeys begin along the wide river. In addition to renting vessels, Delaware River Tubing's crew leads guided kayak tours that can highlight local wildlife and tackle class one rapids like a mall cop tackling a gummy-bear thief.
During river adventures, scents of barbecue waft across the water from the aptly named Famous River Hotdog Man. The riverside eatery, founded in 1987, partners with Delaware River Tubing to give each customer a hot meal, which they can devour at picnic tables in the water.
Big Wheel Roller Skating Center has been a community staple since 1977. Skaters strap on rented skates, whether they're standard quad, inline, or speed skates, to take a turn around the expansive rink during open skate sessions offered seven days a week. Meanwhile, kids and grownups alike compete on the boards during roller hockey leagues, while tots gain their wheel-legs during roller camps and after-school programs. When feet are ready for a break, skaters can play arcade games that run the length of the rink, or head to the snack bar to refuel with nachos and pizza. And, of course, the rink is a great place for a roller skating party, perfect for those celebrating a birthday or closing on a new treehouse.
Philadelphia Rock Gyms challenges climbers of all skill levels with 2,000 square feet of climbing terrain, 1,500 square feet of bouldering plains, and more than 30 top ropes. Initiates to the vertical sport can get the hang of climbing basics during the gym?s variety of lessons, which impart skills such as proper technique and the ability to tell which rocks open a supervillain's secret lair. The gym also features a variety of team-building opportunities and private room rentals, as well as a pro shop that outfits patrons with the proper climbing equipment available for rent or purchase.
Under the umbrella of The Bowling Proprietors' Association of North Jersey, an eclectic group of alleys work together to fill the region with the thunder of scattering pins. At most of Bowling Proprietors' bowling centers, bowlers keep track of pummeled pins with automatic scoring, and bumpers, which arrive at the call of a button, keep balls on course without filling the gutters with retired VCRs. Snack bars at some locations bolster ravenous bowlers, and game rooms in select centers keep hand-eye coordination in peak condition. Free WiFi is available in some centers so that winners can exercise bragging rights.
Paddle Creek?s picturesque launch settings makes it an ideal jumping-off point for river excursions in single and tandem kayaks and canoes or atop a standup paddleboard. The staff of outdoor enthusiasts helps everyone from novice to advanced paddlers select their ideal vessels?for rental or purchase?and even recommends areas of interest. In addition to equipment rentals, the adventure spot offers lessons as well as self-guided tours.

Gelid ICY Vision GPU Cooler Review
Many of us upgraded our CPU coolers to keep our precious cpu's chilly , but what about our graphics cards ?
For most , stock graphics coolers just about do the job , if a little noisily. Keeping your card cool when gaming usually involved turning up the fan speed plus putting up with a hairdrier inside your case. CPU's ususally get preferential treatment inside most PC's when it comes to cooling , but given the importance of graphics cards in most modern PC's isnt keeping the graphics cool just as important ? Well Gelid might very well have a solution to please nearly every customer ! The ICY Vision cooler comes in both Nvidia and AMD flavours and it's compatibility list is quiet good. The ICY Vision offers to cooler your GPU better than a stock cooler whilst lowering noise output too. So lets see if it can live upto it's claims >> |
Unpacking & Contents
After opening the packaging we can see all the supplied parts for installation. After the cooler itself there is fittings for both Nvidia & AMD , a fan cable with molex connection , VRM and RAM Heatsinks , Thermal paste, and also a little case sticker. The cooler itself has a very well made copper baseplate which is far supperior to any lapping job ive seen on any stock cooler. The Cooler has 2 x 92mm cooling fans which run @ 2000 rpm , but this speed can be adjusted via a external fan controller or plugged straight into the card fan header. The supplied thermal paste is of good quality so no need to go all out on buying the lastest formula of heat gooo. Just looking at the cooler and the supplied fittings the quality of the product is top notch and i can not fault it.
Fitting & InstallationI fitted this cooler to my own HD6870 within 60 Minutes including the time it took to remove the stock cooler. I found installation really quiet easy, but it does depend on what card you have , as different cards require a different approach.
The supplied instructions are reasonably competant for both AMD & Nvidia owners , though im sure even those not familiar with tinkering inside their PC's could manage to fit this cooler without too much of an issue. Depending on what card you have i would set aside an hour to hour/half for installation including removal of old cooler, cleaning up , and installing new cooler. If your a little unsure as to whether you can fit this cooler or just want a general guide to installation i made a HD6870 Guide whilst fiiting it to my own GPU. Just check the video to the left. <<<<<<<<<< ICY Vision & HD6870 |
Performance & Results
Having had this cooler running in my PC now for a few months the results have been impressive. The Gelid ICY Vision does do what it says on the tin, my GPU's Temps have gone from 40-45c Idle and 70-88c Load to just 33c Idle and 53c Load. A massive drop of over 30c on load temps is more than i had expected and further more noise is no longer an issue as all i can hear now is a gentle hum. I have played Crysis , Crysis 2 , and Battlefield 3 for countless hours without a single issue and temperatures have not risen above 53c Load and thats in a room @ 23c !!! The VRM & RAM heatsinks also did their job well keeping the respective componants just as cool. Check out GPUZ results below
So with the results in , the question is , is the ICY Vison worth it ?? YES YES YES The Gelid ICY Vision has without doubt been the most impressive cooler ive ever owned cpu or otherwise. It keeps on it's promise of cooling more effectively with reduced noise , the cooler barely audiable above other case fans , and at reduced speeds you'd have trouble hearing it at all. The cost of the cooler is very reasonable too , infact , given what is supplied with the cooler it is very good value for money. So if your looking to cool your graphics card and kill that hairdrier sound from your PC then i suggest you look no further than the Gelid ICY Vision. What are you waiting for order one now !!!!

Hi! I posted the other day about our Leathered Titanium slabs and our fabricators method of enhancing and then buffing. He did make us a sample and we were very happy with it. He told us that sealer would be applied on-site after installation and he sent us home with the sample. In the meantime and after much research, we decided that we wouldn't have the granite sealed. I tested it with oil, vinegar and lemon juice and nothing left a stain. Water beaded up immediately on it so we determined it was a dense granite that didn't require sealing. And we'd heard and read (here on GW) of many problems with slabs that had been sealed that didn't need to be so we decided we would opt out. Anyway, they just showed up with our granite (at 5:15pm) when they weren't scheduled until first thing in the morning. And they say that the slab was sealed at the shop, contrary to what we were told would be done. It's kind of splotchy looking and sort of sticky but when I rub it with a microfiber cloth it becomes smooth and feels good like the sample that had only been enhanced. So . . . should I be concerned? Should I ask to have the sealer removed or just wait and see what happens? And if I'm not mistaken, if and/or when a sealer starts to cause problems (rings, stains, etc.), the solution is to remove the sealer at that time, correct? Other than that - I LOVE the granite!! Am I worried about nothing? Leigh Ann |
Follow-Up Postings:
Don't worry. If I am not mistaken you can take it off with acetone, not the nail polish remover but a gallon can at Home Depot if you really hate it. Since you have to reseal every once in awhile it may just wear off on it's own if it's just sealer. I use a daily cleaner with sealer and I have never resealed it. I have one of the ivory granites. |

Call the shop and find out what product was used before attempting to remove it. |
Acetone will generally remove uncured sealer but it can be less than effective on cured sealer. Find out what was used and call the manufacturer for instructions. |
- Posted by Trebruchet (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Feb 20, 14 at 21:47
ruddycat: This fabricator has probably done this many times with no problem. Let him know your concerns, but give yourself and him a specific length of time that you'll live with it, then review options. Why waste perfectly good panic? Acetone is highly flammable. You don't just dump a gallon on the tops and scrub away. Use extreme caution. |
Thanks everyone! Well they're finally gone and I've cleaned with Daily Granite and a microfiber cloth and everything looks good. Most of the smeary, streaky stuff is gone and they feel and look really nice. Since none of the installers spoke English, I'll have to call the office tomorrow to find out what type of sealer was applied but I'm thinking I'll just register my concern at this point and hope for the best! At least if they develop a problem due to the sealer down the road - there will be a record of it! |

Christians Are Just More Rational
Posted by jlwile on September 28, 2009
My favorite atheist, P.Z. Myers, gets very upset over many, many things. A while ago, he got really flustered over the fact that Obama appointed Francis S. Collins to head the National Institutes of Health. You see, Collins is a vocal Christian. Myers can't stand it when a scientist of faith is (a) significantly more knowledgeable and accomplished than he is and (b) is promoted to a very high-profile position. It destroys his whole "If you believe in religion you are an idiot" argument. Here is what he said when Obama's appointment of Francis S. Collins became official:
We can also trust him to drape Jesus over every major announcement, use the office as a platform for promoting religiosity, and otherwise taint the whole business with embarrassingly inane nonsense…just as he did with the human genome press conference. Isn't it about time our government promoted secular values that work over these antique and ineffective superstitions that just make their proponents look goofy? 1
This is a common theme throughout the "new atheist" movement – Christians believe in superstition. Well, like most things the new atheists say, such nonsense is demonstrated wrong by the data.
Dr. Rodney Stark, Dr. Byron Johnson, Dr. Christopher Bader, and Dr. Carson Mencken of Baylor University recently finished a survey on American religious attitudes. Their survey found a number of interesting things, but in particular, it found that traditional Christianity greatly reduced a person's tendency to believe in nonsense like messages in dreams, Bigfoot, UFOs, haunted houses, communicating with the dead, and astrology. Indeed, if people identified themselves as Evangelicals, born again, Bible believers, or fundamentalists, they were even less likely to believe in such nonsense. 2
As Rodney Stark says:
There's an old saying that a man who no longer believes in God is ready to believe in just about anything, and it turns out our data suggests it's true. 3
That old saying is actually supported by an enormous amount of data. In fact, a study done more than 25 years ago and published in the Skeptical Inquirer (certainly no friend to religion) showed that there is a link between decades of evolutionary education and the rise of irrational pseudo-science. The authors of the study admitted that they thought an increase in "freedom" from the "myths" of religion would make people less superstitious. Instead, the data say that when people give up belief in God, all sorts of other nonsense comes in to take its place. 4
Since Christianity is the most rational belief system, it is not surprising that Christians are, on average, more rational than non-Christians. I think Myers hates data like this even more than Obama's appointment of Collins!

8 Responses to "Christians Are Just More Rational"-
"Nonsense…messages in dreams."
So you don't believe anything in the book of Daniel, nor about half the story of Joseph (both Josephs), or Joel's "Old men will dream dreams", etc? -
Yet surely an atheist can and would insist that there is no difference between "God" trying to contact you and some "universal conciousness" or your own mind trying to do the same?
I agree. It is superstitious nonsense. But to someone who doesn't believe in God OR such "nonsense", surely the two must be equally illogical. And to someone who beleives in such things in preference to God, or indeed beleives that every case of God granting such messages is actually just an UC or an individual's mind, such an argument can make no sense at all?
Is the position of second favorite atheist open? If so, I'd like to apply!
Atheists didn't like the appointment of Dr. Collins because he inserts his religious views into scientific arguments about evolution. Claiming God intervened in the evolution of humans to introduce a moral sense is not a scientific argument. Dr. Collins has launched a non-profit organization to promote his view of the role of God in evolution. He will likely also use his pulpit at the NIH to do the same. That is the objection of atheists. If Dr. Collins would desist in saying his faith informs his view of evolution, then atheists would have no problem with him.
On the main point of the post, I would guess that if you asked hard-core Bigfoot/UFO/occult/boogeyman believers, they would be less likely to be "traditional" Christians. Traditional Christians and the "traditional" superstitious are mostly mutually exclusive categories.
In any case, whether "traditional" Christians, non-traditional Christians or non-Christians believe in UFOs and Bigfoot has nothing to do whether Christianity is a superstition itself. Have any data on that?

Who likes 'em? I recently watched "The Legend of Fong Sai-yuk" with Jet Li and loved it. There's an awesome scene where he fights some woman while running around on the heads and shoulders of a crowd of people. The first person to touch the ground loses. It was pretty funky. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will always be the best martial arts film but I'm itching to see what "Kung-fu Hustle" is like. If it's anything like "Shao-lin Soccer", which was goofy as hell, I'll be happy. What are some of your favorite kung-fu films?

Chambery Airport is one of the busiest airports in Europe during winter because it's the gateway to many of France's top skiing destinations. Many of them are within an hour's drive of the airport.
Courchevel is around 60 miles from the airport so you could be hitting the slopes at one of France's most exclusive resorts just a couple of hours after landing. Courchevel has been rated as one of the top ten skiing resorts in the world by many winter sports magazines.
If you're looking for something a little less exclusive with wonderful slopes and facilities then La Norma is a good choice. This car-free resort affords breathtaking views over the Maurienne Valley.
Manigod is a large resort in the Haute Savoie region with 17 lifts and 26 pistes. It's a great resort for beginners and snowboarders but expert skiers wouldn't find the terrain very challenging.
Valloire has expanded and grown in popularity over the years. Today it's one of France's liveliest and best ski resorts, branching out across the Maurienne Valley.
These are just a few of the numerous ski resorts located within 60 minutes' drive of Chambery Airport. To take advantage of the airport's ideal location, book your cheap flights to Chambery at Jet2.com.

I'm starting to layout the ground work for this years pool closing and have a question regarding the winter floater most pool supply companies provide in their winter closing kits. They say the floater contains Chlorine-Free Oxidizer, is this chemical available in tablet form so I can add it to my existing floater?
Thank you |
Follow-Up Postings:
I haven't seen Monopersulfate/MPS (short chemical name) in a slow dissolve form. I don't use it except when converting from Baquacil and like products to chlorine sanitation. Just prior to winterizing, I normally add several gallons of bleach to boost the chlorine and some algaecide, then winterize it. There is no magic. Keep light out and it opens as it was closed. Expensive additives, IMHO, are just a waste of your money. If you want to spend it, thanks for helping the economy. Scott |

Previous Speakers
November, 2011 (David Simas Part 1/Part 2/Part 3)
David Simas is currently serving as the Director of Opinion Research for President Barack Obama's 2012 re-election campaign. Born in Taunton, Simas graduated from Coyle and Cassidy High School and Stonehill College. In 1995, Simas graduated from Boston College Law School.
Since 1989, Simas has been involved in government and politics, beginning as an intern in Senator Edward M. Kennedy's Boston office. He was elected to Taunton's school board in 1993 and Taunton's City Council in 1997 and 1999, where he also served as President of the City Council. In 2006, Simas worked on the campaign of Governor Deval Patrick, who was elected as Massachusetts' first Democratic governor in 16 years and the state's first-ever African-American governor. During the campaign, Simas had dual roles as a debate partner in both the primary and general elections and as a field coordinator in one of the state's Senate districts. After being elected as governor, Patrick named Simas his deputy chief of staff in 2007, with oversight of policy development and legislative affairs. Simas held that position until he joined the Obama administration in 2009, where he worked as President Obama's deputy assistant and aide to White House senior advisors, David Axelrod and David Plouffe.

I couldn't find regular peas, so I made this dish with just the snap peas. It was delicious. The dressing is tasty but does not overpower the fresh sweetness of the peas.
This is a very easy, quick, and great side dish- I made it to accompany the Seared Tuna with Wasabi Mayo and it was the perfect complement of sweet & crunchy to the spiciness of the tuna.
This was very easy to make and very light and refreshing. I made it for a dinner party and it was such a hit that it's been requested for a potluck party. I made it with both types of peas, just as suggested in the recipe.
Wow, this recipe is so flavorful. I didn't use fresh shelled peas--just used double the amount of sugar snap peas. I will make this again and again.

Translate this page Cal State San Marcos ranks among most military friendly colleges in nationTuesday, November 20th, 2012 Issue 47, Volume 16.
The list, published by Military Times, also includes Cuyamaca College in Rancho San Diego among community colleges, and Alliant University in Scripps Ranch among nontraditional institutions. The rankings were derived from answers to a questionnaire to which 650 schools responded. About 1,100 active-duty military personnel, veterans and dependents attend CSUSM this semester, according to the school. "Collaborating with the military to respond quickly and relevantly to the unique needs of our strong military region is a smart thing to do from a business perspective, and it's the right thing to from a community perspective," said Jan Jackson, vice president for community engagement at CSUSM. The list ranked the North County university 50th among 68 four-year colleges. No other major universities in San Diego County appeared on the list. Cal State San Marcos was credited for having a veterans center on campus and giving college credit for certain military training. Military Times listed the top 23 community colleges, with Cuyamaca College coming in 22nd. Alliant University ranked sixth among 20 nontraditional institutions. The Carlsbad-based Golf Academy of America ranked 13th out 60 career and technical schools in a separate list published in September. 0 comments Be the first to share your opinion on this article!

NEW DELHI: Three new judges took the oath of office in the Delhi high court on Monday, even as the executive committee of the Delhi High Court Bar Association opposed the appointment of one of them.
Acting Chief Justice AK Sikri administered the oath to Justice RV Easwar, Justice Pratibha Rani and Justice Sat Paul Garg. But the HCBA boycotted the oath function in protest against the appointment of Justice Easvar. HCBA Secretary D.K. Sharma said: "We opposed his elevation to this court earlier also. Therefore, today we all boycotted the oath function. Our plea (on the issue) is pending before the Supreme Court.
HC had dismissed Sharma's petition where he had sought judicial quashing of HC collegiums' recommendation to appoint Justice Easwar, who was then president of ITAT and posted in Mumbai, as the judge Delhi HC.
The bar had argued that Justice Easwar was not eligible for appointment as a high court judge. But the court had dismissed these arguments and upheld the collegiums' recommendations.

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Wyly!
Facts about Wyly
- Breed: German Shepherd Dog Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With Black
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Wyly's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Meet Wyly our beautiful, young shepherd ready for a fun time. She is ready and willing to do what ever your plans might be and with the biggest smile on her face. Being a youngster Wyly is in need of a person that is going to spend time with her teaching her right from wrong and showing her the wonderful world around her. She is a very sweet girl and has great leash manners. Full of energy when you first take her out but able to settle and enjoy a nice long walk and then relaxing on the couch next to you. As you can see our girl doesn't care what the plan is as long as she is with you she is happy.
Wyly will make a great addition to many different types of families. She is pretty easy going and you day is going to be enriched with her by your side. To learn more - www.azrescue.org.
Wyly weighed 33 pounds when we saved her.
Other Pets at RESCUE
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Wyly, a Phoenix German Shepherd Dog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a German Shepherd Dog for sale in Phoenix, or seeking a German Shepherd Dog dog from a breeder in Phoenix.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Phoenix already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Phoenix breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even German Shepherd Dog breeders who help with German Shepherd Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Phoenix paves the way for another one to be saved.

Humanity is now at a critical juncture. As Paul Hawken succinctly put it in his inspiring address to Portland University's graduate class in May of 2009, "civilization needs a new operating system," and fast. Many of the socio-economic rules under which we operate were created under a worldview that failed to recognize that the earth is a living system and that every form of life has its unique and valuable place and purpose in sustaining the larger web of life.
Read the full story »What can governments do to address the banking crisis, remedy unemployment, poverty and ecological threats, and create conditions for sustainable abundance?
How can time-tested currency innovations such as mutual credit systems help businesses of all sizes deal with cash flow shortages and monetary instability?
What can communities do to leverage their untapped wealth and connect resources that would otherwise remain unused with needs that would otherwise remain unmet?
What can scientific and academic research tell us about how to design and implement more effective and resilient monetary systems?
What types of complementary currencies could help us overcome current obstacles to the flourishing of our educational, energy, commercial, and other systems?
Rethinking Money points out that there is a way, in fact a thousand ways, to stop our current juggernaut towards global self-destruction. There is a system of solutions already in place in localities throughout the world where terrible problems have existed. The changes came about, not through the redistribution of wealth, increased conventional taxation, bond measures or enlightened self-interest from corporate entities, but rather, by people simply rethinking the concept of money. With that restructuring, everything changed.

The book also presents clear validation, speaking plainly and directly to general interest readers. This work promises to strike a deep chord with audiences eager to find meaningful, thought-provoking answers.

"Auditing the Fed, replacing Fed monetary policy discretion with a mandatory price rule governing policy, even the gold standard, Nobel Laureate Friedreich Hayek pushed the envelope beyond all of these. He advocated running the world economy on competing private currencies.
A competitive private market for money, instead of an arbitrary government monopoly amounting to a license to steal for the ruling class? How could that ever work?
Just like any other competitive private market for any other good or service, Hayek would answer, which is a lot better than a government monopoly. But doesn't the government have to determine the standard for any society's money, just like it determines the standards for the society's weights and measures?"

Dissertation Title: Contesting Extraction: State-making, Democracy and Large Scale Mining in Ecuador
Dissertation Committee: Tulia Falleti (chair), Robert Vitalis, Anne Norton, Erica Simmons (University of Wisconsin)
Dissertation Summary: In a historic shift, indigenous and environmentalist groups in Ecuador resist what they call "extractivism": the resource-dependent development model. Across Latin America, the expanding extractive frontier has fomented conflict. But protest in Ecuador is unique in intensity and scale. Under what conditions—and with what consequences—did resource extraction become the site of political conflict? Based on fourteen months of fieldwork, I argue that the discourse of "anti-extractivism" institutionalized due to a critical juncture—the inauguration of leftist President Correa (2007-present), the rewriting of the Constitution (2007-2008), and the expansion of large scale mining—that drove a wedge between Correa and social movements. Understanding the conditions under which discourses such as anti-extractivism institutionalize gives us insight into how and when discourse shapes policy and institutional design. This project engages scholarship on regional patterns of state-formation, democratic governance, contentious politics, and resource extraction.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Dorado!
Facts about Dorado
- Breed: Dachshund/Papillon Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Dorado's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Dorado is a small breed brown and tan and black fuzzy guy! He is the shelter favorite, as he hardly ever gets kenneled :) He is people, dog and kid friendly ~ He will arrive to OPH soon, so check back for updates! Will be fostered in Spring Grove, Pa.
Other Pets at Operation Paws for Homes, PA Chapter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Dorado, a Hanover Dachshund/Papillon dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Dachshund/Papillon for sale in Hanover, or seeking a Dachshund/Papillon dog from a breeder in Hanover.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Hanover already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Hanover breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Dachshund/Papillon breeders who help with Dachshund/Papillon rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Hanover paves the way for another one to be saved.

Great food, hopefully it doesn't change From Rob of New York, New York on 6/6/2013.
My dog loves this food, I bought it when I ran out of natures recipe and couldn't get more. I was surprised to find my dog, who normally isn't too interested in food, loved it. She eats it at normal intervals as opposed to letting it sit in her bowl for a few hours before she decides to eat it, like she's done with every other dog food I've given her, vegan or not. The only thing to keep an eye on is that Del Monte just bought Natural Balance. I really hope food quality doesn't slip.
Best Veg Dog Food! Highly Recommend! From Christina Branum of Lincoln, Nebraska on 11/4/2010.
My cocker spaniel had a chronic ear infection which resulted in surgery for both of his ears. He has the worst allergies to regular dog food but switching him onto this veg formula has decreased a lot of the itchiness and head shaking.He loves this stuff and it's the only food I buy for him anymore!
best vegan food we've tried From Julie Grant of Fredericton, New Brunswick on 10/14/2010.
Our dog has been on 4 different vegetarian dog foods and this one is the best we've found. I like the ingredients the best and our dog has never been healthier. Her coat is blindingly shiny, she's full of energy, and the vet says she's in perfect condition!!
Excellent From Anonymous of Brooklyn, New York on 8/19/2010.
We've tried a couple vegan dog foods - my pups go bananas over this! Plus, they are healthier than they've been on any other vegan or non-vegan food I've ever had them on.
My Boy Loves It!! From Angelica Ulliana of South Hackensack, New Jersey on 8/2/2010.

Most Factories in Seven Flood-hit Industrial Estates Have Resumed Operation
The Cabinet has acknowledged a report that, as of 15 June 2012, a total of 658 factories in seven industrial estates in Ayutthaya and Pathum Thani provinces affected by the severe flooding in 2011 have resumed operation. The number accounts for 78.43 percent of the total of 839 flood-hit factories.

The temporary facilities have been used for production, equipment storage, and fixing. The venue is at the shelter headquarters at Rong Kluea market in Ayutthaya. Currently, 50 percent of the project has been completed with 134 participating companies, out of the goal of 100 (71 are industrial companies and 63 are SMEs).

Ian MacKaye's the Evens Return With Brooding 'King of Kings'
From the Dischord duo's forthcoming LP, "The Odds"
The Evens are a post-hardcore fan's dream — an even more minimal distillation of punk's powerful rhythms and politics overseen by Fugazi founder and former Minor Threat man Ian MacKaye. The project is a duo (a real-life couple, in fact) featuring former Warmers drummer/singer Amy Farina. He sticks to his baritone guitar, she hits skins, and the two of them sing when they're needed, as heard on the spartan but striking new song "King of Kings." The Evens had a kid together in 2008, so they're forgiven for leaving us mostly empty-handed since 2006's Get Evens, but the hiatus is officially over. The Dischord band's third album The Odds is out November 20. Stream "King of Kings" over at Pitchfork, and check the Evens out below, doing their thing in a domestic scene:
The Evens, The Odds track list:
1. "King of Kings"
2. "Wanted Criminals"
3. "I Do Myself"
4. "Warble Factor"
5. "Sooner or Later"
6. "Wonder Why"
7. "Competing With the Till"
8. "Broken Finger"
9. "Architects Sleep"
10. "Timothy Wright"

Final Thoughts
The Patriot Sector 5 PC3-20000 kit is a very fast kit; it's a very very fast kit. The problem is that unless you really know what you're doing when it comes to getting down and dirty with the BIOS, you'll have trouble achieving these speeds. We're at a point now with speed that it's not just a matter of changing the memory divider; you really have to start getting into the base clock and for kits like this, we need a base clock in excess of 200.
At $319.99 it's not a cheap kit of RAM and you have to remember we're only dealing with a 4GB kit. It's not like some of the recent kits we've looked at that carry twice that amount. Performance is the name of the game here and we've got to say it plays that game very well.
It would've been nice to see some active cooling with the kit because we're dealing with a 1.7 voltage level, but the bottom line is we didn't need active cooling to get the kit up and running so we're not all that bummed about the lack of a cooling fan being included. It also means that because it's not included a few dollars can be saved on the overall kit. The good news is if you want a cooler you're able to buy one and while Patriot might not have one, other memory companies do that can be bought separately.
Patriot have produced a very fast kit here that people who have the need for speed are going to want and while the kit lacks some of the flair that we see from higher end kits, we're able to get the default clock speeds which is ultimately what we want.
While clearly not for everyone, if you're after a seriously fast kit then the Patriot PC3-20000 one is well worth checking out.

That sounds like a really nice idea, I would just keep it small and usable so they can pack it easily, maybe an autograph book for the 5 year old or a trip journal for the parents to document their trip, or maybe disposable cameras.
Hi everyone!
I'm going back to wdw in July (127 days to go... not that i'm counting! ) and this will be my first trip there with DBF's family including his niece who'll be nearly 5 years old and has never been to wdw before!
I've had a nice idea for the night before we leave for orlando.. "wdw eve" ! - i'd like to suprise the rest of the group with a disney-related present each.... but i need a few ideas!
has anyone else done something like this before?
i am thinking of getting our niece a princess costume from the disney store, and maybe disney beach towels for DBF's mom & dad... maybe throw in some kleenex disney tissues, band-aids etc too for everyone?!
any ideas are greatly appreciated!
luv & pixie dust
How about a small Disney coin purse to put that US cash in to keep it separated from the sterling?
mini-V What will you celebrate?
Adult daycare for the kid inside you.
The autograph book, maybe one where you can insert a picture on one page, thenautograph the next and a disposable camera are great ideas. You can decorate the autograph book with Disney stickers to give it a Disney look.
I love this idea! We do the same for our "1st visit" guests. We sometimes do www.DisneyFlorist.com - they have something for everyone ($ - $$$$). The look on their face when it's delivered to the room is priceless!
Thanks for the ideas so far everyone!
I am already planning a couple of Disney florist items for when we arrive at wdw (staying at the yacht club!) .. I had one delivered as a suprise for DBF on our last trip and it was beautiful.. plus the look on his face when we walked into the room & it was there was priceless! (i ordered the 'he be a pirate' hamper for him & asked them to add a few princess items for me!)
Barbie x
as an avid pin collector maybe you could get the little one a pin to get her started and then have something to continue and remember when shes there... we did that for my little cousins and now they are hooked! we use to get our pins at our local disney store but sadly it is gone and we have to travel to the one the next state over!!

lanyard with a disney pin to help them to trade at disney.
a autograph book to get autograhs from the characters
just thought i'd let you know i've finished buying things for my disney-eve gifts!
for the 4 year old.. a cinderella dress (it's reversible, blue ball gown or peasant dress!) and a disney princess activity book for the plane journey.
for DBF's mom.. pooh bear beach towel & hidden mickey's book, dad.. Cars beach towel & a journal (decorated with silver stars & mickey confetti!), DBF.. a Goofy tshirt & some socks (afraid I had to get these with characters from 'another' orlando theme park, couldn't find any disney ones!).. DBF's little sister... vest top with a hand-sewn Pooh bear on it & pink sequin minnie mouse ears. DBF's older sister... vest top with classic mickey sewn onto it & minnie ears with a pink bow.. and for her DBF.. a Mickey tshirt & socks.
all done!! also picked up 7 gift boxes from the Disney Store to put all the gifts in!
now, only 75 days to go...
What a lovely idea. Have a super time!
there's another theme park in orlando?? I didn't notice haha...
Sounds good!! Have a great trip, and another small in addition idea is a pressed pennies book and a m&m minis container full of Quarter Quarter Penny, Quarter Quarter Penny. Or a pin featuring their favorite character that you can buy really quick in the gift shop when you get there, then have it on their pillow or somewhere when they wake up
The Golden age never was the present age but with human liberty we can fulfill the promise and meaning of America. To everyone a chance. To all people, regardless of their birth the right to live, to work, to be themselves, and to become whatever their visions can combine to make them. This is the promise of America...And I foresee the American adventure to continue for a long, long time!
~The American Adventure, EPCOT Center
Are you 23? I am!
I am tempted by the Pin idea!
they have recently started selling official Pins in the UK disney stores, and you can even trade with the CMs there, including wdw & disneyland paris pins! the small ones are of the classic/favourite characters & are only £3-5 each (say, $5-8?) ... maybe I'll add a pin to everyone's gift box too!
i am sooo excited about this trip, well, I get excited about every trip to wdw!
i've booked an Illuminations cruise for the party too which is a suprise.. so hard to keep everything to myself, at least I can share my excitement on this forum!
