Why Adoption is a Great Option
Feather, a london Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in london, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in london.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in london 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 london 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in london paves the way for another one to be saved.

In the guffawing face of father time, technicians roll up their sleeves and unholster their lasers, blasting away acne scarring, rosacea, or hyperpigmentation with the Radiancy SpectraClear system. A chilled-tip laser uproots party-crashing hair from any skin type, and a Q-switched KTP YAG laser sends sun spots packing. Custom chemical peels stimulate cell renewal and collagen production to fill out fine lines, and radio-frequency devices firm up skin and smooth out cellulite. The center also offers services for men, including laser treatments for razor bumps, back-hair removal, and a gentleman's facial that moisturizes faces more effectively than head-butting Poseidon.
Inflated structures, slides, and games fill the climate-controlled environs of the numerous BounceU locations that speckle the nation. At each site, staff members closely monitor all activities as little ones traverse obstacle courses or pull on oversized inflatable boxing gloves. The crew also invites parents to join in on the fun, letting them bounce alongside their kids or make sweeping edicts from atop a bouncy-castle throne.
In addition to open sessions, the indoor-play haven sets the stage for Preschool Play Dates. Special events include Create and Bounce, which lets kids bounce and paint the day away so their parents can do grownup things, such as eat marshmallows with a knife and fork.
Staffed with registered massage therapists, laser techs, and reflexologists, Target Health treats bodily afflictions by taking a holistic approach.

Trained acupuncturists have deep reverence for the ancient healing practice, and aim to restore balance to the body, alleviate symptoms of respiratory disorders, and lessen depression. With a comprehensive laser system, the team clears up unwanted hair, and reflexologists attend to pressure points in the feet and hands to grant relief and assist in postoperative recovery.

There's an open, minimalist vibe to the décor, one that complements the neat and meticulous work of the staff. Don't be fooled, however—just because the salon is tidy, doesn't mean that its crew can't give your 'do an eye-catching edge.
The team uses products by brands such as Redken and Goldwell to create fresh looks, consulting with clients throughout the appointment to pin down the desired aesthetic. They can imbue strands with color through single-process treatments and highlights, or arrange hair into a nuanced updo.

MetaFours is a fun way of breaking down the Final Four teams by using metaphors to explain them
Just in case you didn't know: (Wikipedia)
Tesla Motors, Inc. is an American company that designs, manufactures and sells electric cars and electric vehicle powertrain components. Tesla Motors is a public company that trades on the NASDAQ stock exchange under the symbol TSLA. In the first quarter of 2013, Tesla posted profits for the first time in its ten year history.
Tesla Motors first gained widespread attention by producing the Tesla Roadster, the first fully electric sports car.The company's second vehicle was the Model S, a fully electric luxury sedan. Tesla also markets electric powertrain components, including lithium-ion battery packs, to automakers, including Daimler and Toyota.
Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, has said he envisions Tesla as an independent automaker, aimed at eventually offering electric cars at a price affordable to the average consumer.
These two are totally different entities, right? Maybe,…maybe not.
Rough beginnings
In 2008, Tesla was bottoming out. Elon Musk's massive fortune had long been spent, and investors wouldn't touch them with a 10-foot pole. To the world, it looked like the time still wasn't right for electric cars. All they had were a bunch of fancy, impractical prototypes sitting in garages, and nothing tangible to show for their efforts. Prospects were decidedly bleak.
After being ranked No. 1 in the preseason polls, Kentucky lost in just its third game of the season. Then, three weeks later, they lost again. And again. And again. 10 times before the Tournament started; that's 10 more losses than they should have had. Critics were overjoyed – they knew that these immature freshmen would never be able to compete at this level without breaking down. These kids were in over their heads, and they were paying for it.
What happened next was legendary. Tesla released the Roadster, a sports car, in 2010 to minimal excitement. In 2012, it exploded onto the scene with the Model S. That car received the highest score ever in Consumer Reports' review of it (99/100 overall). Last quarter, they posted a profit for the first time in company history. They're getting more orders than they can process, and they just keep on advancing, miles at a time. Their future is brighter than the sun (keep reading for more).
Kentucky lost its last game before the tournament, the SEC Championship, to top overall seed Florida by just one point. The whispers began – are they actually good? One point…? They could have won! The tournament started, and everybody's opinion of Kentucky was different. They cruised past their first opponent, Kansas State. Then, they ripped off the most impressive three game sequence of any team at any point this year.
It started by taking down previously undefeated 1-seed Wichita State in an instant classic. Then, in a rivalry game against defending champions Louisville, they came roaring back from a double digit deficit to pull out the win. Finally, to reach the Final Four they had to beat a deep, experienced Michigan team that was one of the top offensive units in the country. After another thrilling 39.5 minutes, the game was tied 75-75. Aaron Harrison drilled a stepback three-pointer with 2.1 seconds left and a hand literally in his face. Game. Whoo-wee. In case you're counting at home, they just beat three of last year's Final Four teams…consecutively. Each game was absolutely riveting throughout. That was special.
Genius in doubt
And that's how we got here.
Tesla's CEO is a man named Elon Musk. I'd be surprised if you've ever met anybody more interesting than him; just watch this segment from yesterday's 60 Minutes. If you caught it in that video, he mentions that even after he sold a company for $180 million, even his own friends tried to convince him not to go down the road of electric cars and spaceships. If I was anywhere near him, I don't care if he says he's going to uncover the secret to living forever; that's not the kind of man you bet against.
Coach Cal has gone to a Final Four with three different schools. I don't care how much cheating is involved (and I believe there was none here), that's a hard thing to do. It's not a walk in the park to attract such talent to Lexington each year, either. However, he still gets way more than his fair share of haters. They decry everything about him, from sanctions when he was at Memphis to not allowing his kids to get a real education. He's on a mission right now as well; after all, if you are national champions, those negative voices suddenly get a lot quieter.
It's a joy to watch these two men work.
There hasn't been a new, successful American car company in pretty much 90 years. Tesla, at just ten years old, is a relative infant compared to powers like Ford and Chevy. Everything about it screams special and sexy. While the old guys have grown complacent, Tesla is looking to catch them napping with a product that's superior in just about every way. As evidenced by the situation in New Jersey, the big boys are starting to notice and get scared. As well they should be. Tesla is young, but it is innovating 10 times faster than anybody else, and if things go as planned they'll be quite a force soon. Don't blink, or you'll miss something monumental.
It's well-known that Kentucky and John Calipari rely heavily on extremely talented freshmen in their basketball program. As is evident by now, this year is no different. There are eight freshmen on the roster, and the whole starting lineup is made up of first-years. These kids are looking to prove that age is just a number. They've already made it to the top four, but to really make their point they're going to have to win it all. Even if they don't, the reason shouldn't have anything to do with their age.
This Kentucky Wildcats team and Tesla Motors both have the it factor. You just can't take your eyes off of them.
Kentucky's collection of talent is extraordinary in itself. If nothing else, people would tune in to their games this year just to see how well this seemingly overpowered experiment was faring (more often than not, the answer was, "not so well"). If you can name a team that is more intriguing, I'll listen. And then call you stupid.
Tesla? Self explanatory. If you see one in the street or driving alongside you, you're head's turning. And you won't be able to turn it anywhere else. Period. It is on the front end of the car industry. It uses no gas. And it looks this damn good.
No limits
This is the best thing about both of these things. Sky's the limit? No way. If they keep going, they're blasting through the atmosphere (for Elon Musk, literally), maybe chilling at the moon for a bit, taking a detour to Mars, going by the sun, out of the Milky Way.
Tesla is opening a battery factory soon that is expected to produce more battery power by itself than every single other plant in the world. This is not only going to increase their production rates (currently a little slow because of the amount of work that goes into each car), but also decrease costs. In the grand scheme of things, this will make the company a huge player not only in the car industry, but in the whole energy sector. In the last two years, their stock has jumped more than 500%. And it's going to keep climbing. Watch out.
You've heard enough about the talent on this Kentucky team, but what I don't think people realize is that they could potentially be historic. Freshmen that are this good – the only comparison could be the Fab Five. This Kentucky squad is going to go as far as it wants – and if they want it badly, they'll be remembered for a long time.
Despite being the lowest seed in the Final Four, Kentucky is by no means an underdog. In fact, at this point, they may as well be the favorite. They are currently preparing to face Wisconsin for the right to go to the National Championship game. The Badgers are no slouches, but Coach Cal's squad is just too good right now. Even if things don't fully work out for Kentucky, one thing is guaranteed: they'll do their thing in style.
Just like an electric car that goes 0-60 in 4.2 seconds.

Exotic Pests in Firewood
Residential Wood Heating
Roadside Fuelwood Program
Wood Heat in VT Schools
Applications the Roadside Firewood Lottery are accepted starting at 12:01 AM on January 2nd and ending midnight (11:59 pm + 1 minute) January 16th. Drawing for the lots happens at the end of February. Lot winners are typically notified in the first part of March. Those whose names were not drawn will not be notified.
The Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation has made personal use firewood lots available to Vermont residents since the 1970's. The program's popularity has grown to the point where the demand for lots exceeds the available supply, so in 2009 the Department instituted a lottery system to distribute permits.
FPR's foresters mark the trees to be harvested in 3-cord lots. These lots are generally located adjacent to woods roads which are accessible by four-wheel drive vehicles. The standing wood on these lots is sold to Vermont residents who are successful in the lottery. Permittees must cut and haul their own wood and mechanical skidding is not allowed. Firewood lots must be left in a condition acceptable to the forester in charge. Trees may not be left hung up, stumps must be cut close to the ground, and brush must be dragged back away from the road and well out of streams, ditches and culverts.
Permits are valid for one season (generally from early July to early October depending on weather and road conditions) and cost $30 each ($10 per cord). Participants must sign a waiver of liability and permit fees are non-refundable.
All participants are strongly encouraged to learn chainsaw safety skills before using this equipment.
There is no application fee. Applications are limited to one per household and applicants may make a first and a second choice. Please return between January 2nd and 16th to enter the lottery.
For questions related to the lottery or for those without internet access, please call 802-828-1531.

Obama outspends Romney; both see surge in donations
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama burned through nearly $116 million in September, close to twice as much as Republican challenger Mitt Romney, according to reports filed Saturday, highlighting the divergent strategies of the two candidates as they headed into the final stretch of the White House race.
Obama has kept up a costly but unrelenting press against his competitor through the summer and fall, pumping nearly $300 million into television ads in the general election so far, according to a Republican source tracking ad buys. Romney — backed by an array of outside groups spending hundreds of millions on his behalf — largely stockpiled his resources and then unleashed a major air barrage beginning this month. He has spent almost $166 million on ads in the general election.
Both candidates saw a surge in donations in September. Obama, together with the Democratic National Committee and two joint fundraising committees, brought in $181 million. Romney and his affiliated committees raised $170 million.
But Obama is raising a larger share of his cash in small donations that go directly to his campaign committee, giving him more flexibility in how to spend it. Obama for America got $96.3 million in contributions in September, while Romney for President raised $41.9 million.
That could explain why the GOP nominee's campaign actually spent slightly less in September than it did in August - $65 million, down from $66 million, according to Federal Election Commission filings. The bulk went to media ads: $37 million, less than half of the $88 million Obama's campaign spent on commercials.
Romney's campaign also paid off $10 million on a $20 million loan it took out in late August. The campaign has a remaining debt of $5 million on the loan.
By the end of the month, Obama's campaign had $99 million in the bank, while Romney's campaign had $63 million. But including their party fundraising committees, Romney entered October with more cash on hand than Obama, $191 million to $150 million.
Romney's relatively light presence on the air in September puzzled many of his allies, who had expected the candidate to dramatically step up his advertising after the Republican National Convention, when he was able to access funds raised for the general election.
The pro-Romney "super PAC" Restore Our Future aired just $4.1 million in ads in September on his behalf, having run through most of its cash with a nearly $20 million ad buy in August. The group spent last month replenishing its coffers, raising $14.8 million - a sum enabling it to have a strong presence on the air in the final stretch of the race.
The super PAC's September haul was double that of August, thanks to nearly 40 six- and seven-figure donations. The largest: a $2 million contribution from Bob Perry, the Houston homebuilder who has given a total of $9 million to the group this cycle. Oxbow Carbon LLC, the energy company owned by William Koch, gave $1 million, as did Houston Texans owner Bob McNair and Missouri construction executive Stanley Herzog.
Steven Lund, former chief executive of the nutritional supplement company Nu Skin, and his wife, Kalleen, gave a combined $1 million to the group. Lund was among the super PAC's earliest benefactors; two companies linked to Lund seeded the group with $2 million back in March 2011. Lund's ties to Romney date back to 1999 when NuSkin became one of the first major sponsors of the 2002 Salt Lake City Games after Romney took over its operations.
For a second month in a row, Restore Our Future was edged out in fundraising by its pro-Obama counterpart, Priorities USA Action, which pulled in $15.25 million in September, its best month yet. Two other Democratic super PACs that focus on congressional races, House Majority PAC and Majority PAC, also had their strongest fundraising months in September - an indication of a growing embrace by the left of the outside spending vehicles.
Obama's campaign has also had stepped-up success among big contributors. In the third quarter of the year, 122 new fundraisers who bundle large checks joined his re-election effort, bringing the campaign's number of bundlers to 758, according to a list released Friday by the campaign.
Together, they raised at least $180 million through the end of September, almost one-fifth of the $947 million Obama and his fundraising committees have brought in so far, according to a Los Angeles Times/Tribune Washington Bureau analysis. The campaign reports broad fundraising ranges for the bundlers, not exact totals, so the actual amount could be far higher.
Romney has declined to release the names of fundraisers bundling money for his campaign, other than those who are lobbyists, which he is required to disclose.
Among Obama's new bundlers are former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who raised between $200,000 and $500,000, and Charlie Crist, the former Republican governor of Florida. He announced his support for Obama in August, and has raised between $100,000 and $200,000.
Some of the newest bundlers debuted in the top ranks of those who have raised more than $500,000 for the campaign, including singer Gwen Stefani and designer Tom Ford.

The RIASA provides student athletes with a top quality academic program and a top quality soccer opportunity while living and playing in a true football culture.
Further information can be found at RIASA's own website.
Click here to go to the RIASA website
The Richmond International Academic & Soccer Academy "RIASA" is based in Leeds, one of the most sophisticated and economically important cities in Northern England and a major centre for both football and higher education. The programme is aimed at the elite athlete looking to develop their game at the highest level, whilst gaining an insight into the business of football and completing a 4 year BA in International Sports Management.
The programme exists to provide a positive academic and student playing experience. It is an opportunity to play in the UK and European leagues while earning an accredited American degree - building a first class cv/resume that is transferable in the US and worldwide; showcase players against top professional youth soccer academies, from premiership to league two levels; develop students' football skills with our professional coaching team led by Football Director Mark Ellis, while also providing opportunities for students to develop and accredit their own coaching skills via FA and UEFA qualifications and to apply those skills in the community.
A number of former RIASA students are now pursuing professional careers in football, including Nahki Wells (Bradford City, Huddersfield Town).
US college soccer provides limited experience and developmental opportunities for students looking to reach their true potential. NCAA and NAIA rules restrict the playing season and times players can play, be coached, and develop their game. At Richmond International Academic and Soccer Academy, students can fully develop their playing potential and still receive a top quality professional education. Students should be of a good playing standard, either
originating from a top premier select program or be an all-regional or state player.
The UK is a natural fit for the North American soccer player both culturally and for living with the best league in the world and the excitement that brings on a year round basis. It may provide an exit route into the professional game at some level, for some students, as they will be continually showcased against top professional academies.
Our Mission
To provide a life changing experience for student athletes as they pursue an accredited American Degree program while reaching their optimal playing potential.

Nahki Wells, second right, with, from left, David Baldwin, RIASA Director and Football Director Mark Ellis and City youth coach Peter Horne after a meeting with RIASA executives at Valley Parade last week.
RIASA has developed a working relationship with Bradford City FC which signed one of its former students, Nahki Wells.
Wells did so well at Bradford City FC that he was offered an improved and extended contract after he drew attention from championship clubs. Wells later signed for Huddersfield Town FC in the Championship. Bradford does not want to miss out on any further students the Academy produces in the coming years and recognizes the value the RIASA program has to professional clubs. In addition to Wells, RIASA recently had two of its former students signed by Finnish professional club, Kemi Kings, Joey Spivack from New Jersey and Christian Eissele from Florida.
Dave Baldwin, RIASA CEO said, "We've already set up a couple of games where a mix of the Bradford City First and Youth teams have played against RIASA. In addition, one or two of the students have trained with the club. RIASA students will now be able to play in the professional academy set up in a league format as they represent Bradford City".
Mark Ellis added, "The working relationship with Bradford will allow our students to play as representatives of Bradford on a weekly basis against other professional academies – we presently do play showcase events against other academy teams, such as Manchester City FC last week, and will continue to do so – but now the opportunity is open for some of the RIASA students to play for Bradford City FC on a regular basis as part of their development and exposure".
Nahki Wells believes he will be the first of many to emerge from the university program, which is directed by Richmond, The American International University in London.
Wells said, " "Hopefully, I will give others the motivation to know that the opportunities are there if you earn them. There's a lot of American and Caribbean talent out there ready and willing to break through. I never had any doubt I could make it but RIASA helped me to really understand the (English) game and get used to it".
Wells went on to say," Nowadays people come in from other countries on a two-week trial and that's not enough time to adapt, even if you have the talent. RIASA gives you that time, and with the ex-professionals running it, you have the right people looking at you."
Brian Haley, RIASA International Football Director echoed Nahki's point. Haley said, "we recently had a player scouted in Dallas, Texas who was over in the USA from Australia – he was a very good player. When he learned about RIASA he set up a weeklong visit to the academy in the hope that he would be seen and signed – that just does not happen. Players need time to acclimatize to the game, develop and be provided with the right mentoring to make it in the game. Players ask me all the time; can you get me a trial? We can but we know, just like it was with Nahki, it takes time to develop and allow clubs to see you– this is the value and opportunity of the RIASA program".
Haley concluded, "In addition, this is not just a football program it offers a high level University degree program that will make students stand out at their graduation – it provides a life changing opportunity on several levels for students and that is part of our mission statement".
Mark Ellis
Coaching Director
The coaching staff will be under the direction of Mark Ellis, a Professional Soccer player for Bradford City for over 14 years who will oversee the player development program at RIASA. Mark has also worked at several UK professional clubs as a coach, Leeds Utd, Huddersfield Town FC. He has also coached stint in South Africa and the USA. His coaching qualifications are up to the UEFA "A licensed standard. Mark's professional contacts span the world and he will seek players from aboard to play at RIASA.
Mark will be responsible for not only developing players to move to the next level but will oversee the relationship that RIASA has developed with professional clubs not only in the UK but in the European leagues too.
The qualification for an RIASA coaching staff member is a UEFA "A" license. There will be two full time UEFA "A licensed coaches working with Mark.

A thought for the season
From the King James bible-Colossians 3: 11-15
11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
The message from this passage is found in the writings of many scholars who adhere to different ideologies that promote peace among mankind.

Peter Molyneux's departure from Microsoft marks the end of an era, but it emphatically isn't the end for Fable. Molyneux's flagship Xbox project is now very much its own beast, attracting two new, boundary-pushing releases this year in the shape of Kinect exclusive Fable: The Journey and arts-and-crafty spin-off Fable: Heroes.
Down for Xbox Live Arcade release tomorrow, the latter is a four-player beat 'em up doused in Fable's inimitable humour. Our review will be live shortly - while you wait, check out our lengthy chat with lead designer Ted Timmins about the game's inception, the science of spin-offs and where Fable goes from here.
How many different game types do you think you can create using the Fable source material? How broad does that franchise go?
Well we've got novels coming out later this year. The great thing about Albion, the part that I love so much about Fable, is that it can anything anyone wants it to be. It would make great other games, I'm sure of it. I don't want to give a headline, because I'm just pulling out ideas, but it could make a fantastic RTS or Sim City-style game - it's just such a rich world with so many features.
The great thing about Fable has always been that it's the sum of all its parts. You have the simulation, the combat, the story and you could pretty much take any of those and extrapolate them out. We decided to take the combat side and the feel of Albion and turn it into a four player hack-and-slash. It can be anything you want it to be.
Did you learn anything new about Fable in the process of creating Fable Heroes?
Yeah, I mean it's great. I learned the most by actually reading what the fans write about and trying to get an idea of what they want. Before we started Heroes and having our Hero Doll collection that you play as, the one thing I kept saying was "I want to play as Jack of Blades" and I was driving our artists totally insane with my constant requests for Jack of Blades. The only reason they actually did it in the end was just to shut me up so for me the fact that you can play as Jack comes from he forums.
All people talk about is playing as Jack of Blades from the first Fable and we wanted to give something back, so I definitely learnt that the more you listen to the fans, the more appreciative they'll be at the other end. I guess we'll find out this week. Also, we did a lot of user research which inspired things like our Family Mode.
There were a lot of parents that played Fable Heroes that, at the end of playing, would say "Oh yeah, it's a great game and I can see myself playing with my kids, but it's probably just that bit too competitive for them," so we decided to introduce Family Mode, where there's a team score as opposed to individual scores and everyone's a winner. So I've certainly learned a lot about user research and sitting down to watch people play the game you're working on.
People often talk about family-friendly games and getting everyone playing - there's the classic marketing image of everyone on white furniture. What would be your tips for creating a family-friendly game?
I think that it's about making it so that everyone is in one room having fun. The reason things like Kinect Sports work so well is that even if you're not playing, you're watching people having fun and that in itself is fun. In Fable Heroes we have a game of tag that pops up out of certain chests and when we were at PAX East a few weeks ago people were watching and laughing as this game was being played, so I think the more you can make the game look fun and appealing - our art style plays a lot into that too, given its cartoony, warm, welcoming feeling - you definitely end up with more people just having fun.

Where to stay in San Diego?
I need help deciding where to stay in San Diego. We are planning a trip for June 2013. We want to end our trip with 2 nights in the San Diego area. There are 4 of us and would prefer 3 "beds". The kids are older and don't want to share. We mainly just want to see the area and go to Coronado Beach. Thanks for any help you can provide!
If money were no object (yeah right) I'd stay at the Del Coronado. It's the hotel where the classic movie "Some Like It Hot" was filmed, and the Grand Floridian hotel was patterned after the Del.
Realistically, I'd just do a web search with one of the travel discounters like Priceline, hotwire, etc. |
We are looking at staying at the Comfort Inn & Suites Zoo/SeaWorld area. They have a couple different options that might work for you. One is a 2 bed with a sofa pullout and the other is a single bed with a bunk bed so that provids 3 beds as well. Both options are running about $170/night for June 2013
Do not stay in Hilton Gaslamp. We had such a bad experience there that we moved out after one night and I swore I would save anyone from our experience
Back in 2010 I stayed at a Hilton owned hotel in rancho bernado. I booked online at 79 a night. Prepaid in advance. If you paid at hotel 150 a night. The hotel was nice good views lots of restaurants around. Grocery store one exit down In caramel mountain.
This hotel only about 20 minutes away from the del. sea world wouldn't be too far either. This one is of Interstate 15 Sent from my iPhone using DISBoards |
Stayed at the Hilton Gaslamp a number of times and never experienced any problems. Would highly recommend it. |
I am planning a trip to SD in June also! We love it there! Suggestion for Coronado Beach-Glorietta Bay Inn! Look at Trip Advisor's reviews, we almost stayed there a couple of years ago but opted to stay downtown instead because the Hyatt Manchester was having a "buy 1, 2nd room at 1/2 off" sale, and we also have grown kids, so it worked out perfect! I am reconsidering the Glorietta Bay Inn again, because it sounds so relaxing, and it's a hop skip and a jump from the beautiful Coronado Beach itself! Another option is the Doubletree Mission Valley, we stayed there years ago and really enjoyed it, it's right near the trolley, and it has two pools, one inside and one out, and a fabulous Sunday brunch! Have fun!! :beach:
I highly recommend Homewood Suites Liberty Station in San Diego. It regularly comes in the top 4 or so hotels in San Diego. Beautiful surrounding area, and convenient to Sea World and downtown. It has 1BR and 2BR units, as well as regular hotel room. Check out this thread:

Inside the Battle of Wanat
Just before dawn on July 13, 2008, more than 200 Taliban soldiers launched a coordinated attack on a NATO post in the tiny Afghan village of Wanat. The post, located at the bottom of a natural bowl in the eastern province of Nuristan, was exposed and easily surrounded. A higher observation location, nicknamed Topside, should have provided a strategic advantage for the mostly American troops-but it was quickly overwhelmed. During the heat of the fight, a young lieutenant named Jonathan Brostrom broke from safety and led one other man to try to rescue those on higher ground. They never made it to the top of the hill. The small remaining team was able to bravely fend off the Taliban fighters, killing nearly a third of them, until American reinforcements could arrive. Below, an interactive map shows how tragedy and triumph unfolded at the Battle of Wanat, one of the Afghan war's most controversial firefights. It left 9 Americans dead and 27 wounded, and Brostrom's family fighting to find out why Jonathan and his comrades were led into such a deadly trap.

That's why they choose to spend their careers writing instead of crunching numbers.
But math is as important to journalism as crisp prose. Without it, there wouldn't be a newspaper business, and as every good reporter knows, adding and subtracting numbers -- especially numbers involving dollars -- usually leads to a good story.
In this case, though, it led to a bad one.
The journalism department at Metropolitan State College didn't pay enough attention to its own dollar figures, says department chair Kenn Bisio, and that resulted in the demise of the Capitol Reporter -- a student-run weekly newspaper that covered the state legislature for four months every year.
"The spring semester of 1999 was its tenth year," says Bisio, who has chaired the department for a little over a year. "It was established so that the funding was supposed to get less every year, and eventually it was supposed to be self-sufficient. But that never happened. Why? I don't know. This might sound bad, but if we were good stewards of the money, maybe we could have avoided something like this."
According to Bisio, the paper was making more from subscriptions (about $5,300 a year) than it was from advertising revenue (about $3,200) -- a sure sign of a disappointing bottom line, since most newspapers rely on ad revenues to stay afloat. Since the Capitol Reporter usually published eighteen times a year, that translated to revenues of about $472 an issue, compared to the $7,222 an issue (or $130,000 annually) that Metro claims it was spending on the paper. "If I'm the president of the college and I see that, I'd have cut the thing, too," Bisio says. "Pragmatically, I can see it. Has it hurt? Yeah. Will we survive? Yeah."
The balance sheet didn't include a line item for the paper's value at the State Capitol, where it enjoyed a good reputation and was read by lawmakers, government employees and lobbyists alike. Nor did it take into account the publication's fans at Metro and at journalism departments across the country, as one of only two student publications nationwide to watchdog local lawmakers. But despite the Capitol Reporter's popularity, the real numbers crunchers in Metro's administration -- the ones who do pay attention -- decided last May that the paper had to go.
Debbie Thomas, a Metro spokeswoman, says the funding was denied because a temporary drop in enrollment forced the college to make cuts. "Our revenue sources come from two places," she explains, "the tuition and fees that students pay and the money we get from state government. Both are dependent on the number of students in enrollment. If we have a dip in enrollment, which we did a year ago this summer, we take a double hit." Because of that enrollment drop, Metro cut $1 million from its budget this year.
"What really became the issue at the Capitol Reporter -- which was a great publication and hopefully will be again -- is that it just didn't wash out," she adds. "We aren't driven by making a profit, and because of that, we are constantly looking at budgets, but there's not a tendency to cut programs unless you have to. We had to last year. The cost of putting out the publication had increased over time and, really, only a small number of students were benefiting from it." And then there was the fact that the Capitol Reporter had originally been slated to become self-sufficient by 1991.
Over the past two years, the number of students working on the paper had dropped from nearly thirty to only twelve, partially because the journalism department didn't do enough recruiting, Bisio says, and partially because Metro cut the number of full-time faculty in the department from five to three.
But the final decision to kill the Capitol Reporter, which was made in the office of college president Sheila Kaplan earlier this month, surprised many of the people involved with the newspaper. Not only was it the only program that was cut in its entirety, but a last-ditch effort to save it had been reported as having been successful.
When news of the Capitol Reporter's shaky status first surfaced this past spring, two local professional associations offered grants to keep it going. The state chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists pledged a $5,000 endowment, but that meant the Capitol Reporter could use only the interest from that money; the Colorado Press Association offered another $5,000, but only if the Capitol Reporter continued to put out a printed version -- an impossibility this year, Bisio says.
He turned down both offers. They were made with "good heart," he says, but with too many strings attached.
Bisio would like to spend the next year devising a three- to five-year business plan for a new student-run newspaper and then present it to Metro's administration. "This was a great educational tool for the students," he says, "and I'll work on getting, if not the Capitol Reporter, then another newspaper back in the department. I'm an eternal optimist. Do I think it's dead and gone forever? No. I would like to see us come back in spring 2001 with a spring, summer and fall paper."

Figs are REAL CURE
Figs apparently have a derivative of benzaldehyde. It has been reported that investigators at the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research in Tokyo say benzaldehyde is highly effective at shrinking tumors. In addition, the U.S. Department of Agriculture says figs, which contain vitamin C and calcium, magnesium and potassium, may curtail appetite and improve weight-loss efforts. Fig juice is also a potent bacteria killer in test-tube studies.
The Cure of an Old Man of one hundred and five as effected about 6 years before his death with 8 lbs of figs, the cancer which began at the corner of his mouth had eaten his jaw, cheek and half down his Throat, yet was [missing] perfectly cured and never [missing]wed any tendency to return.

Changing Spaces
August 21, 2013
Didn't mean for the blog to go dark for so long (almost an entire month, oops!). But within the last few weeks we learned that our landlord sold the house we're renting so we've spent a considerable amount of time searching and finally securing a new place. If you want to drive your kids crazy, drive them all over Charlotte to view house after house after house. Then, milkshakes for dinner would be totally justified.
The house is slowly being overrun with boxes so I won't be working on any new projects until after the move, but this DIY rocket we made earlier this month is now up at Hellobee!
Sparklers! and July Projects
July 7, 2013
Since it's too late to greet you with a happy 4th, I'll wish you a happy July instead! The celebratory month that sees the birth of our nation and incidentally, the founding of Chipotle as I've just learned today.
Below are some early previews of projects I completed this weekend. I love working on children's crafts. There's a lot of latitude in how cutesy a project can get as long as it's intended for kids.
And after years and years of wanting to do something with this vintage sideboard that I literally found on the side of the road, I rescued it from its sad state by giving it a makeover. I didn't think to take a before picture with the doors and drawers, but I think you can easily tell it needed a good dose of TLC. We're really happy with it and I've received lots of compliments from the kids on my painting skills.
DIY Decorative Wall Hooks

Cardboard Maniac
July 22, 2012
Crafting has been extra light as I've been working on not-as-exciting corporate design projects, but sometime in the next week or so, I'll be sharing an even cooler version of the kids' little cardboard house. (And the way I styled the house with lights above — definitely a big-kid thing, not for the baby as much as she'd love it and try to eat it.) I spotted Andrea's houses on Pinterest and love the little neighborhood going on.
Speaking of cardboard, as we worked on cleaning out the garage this weekend, my affinity for boxes and corrugated was made even more obvious. It's already looking like round two at Ikea will be needed to contain all my shiz. You know it's problematic when your crafting stuff spans three rooms and two floors, but in a small way that makes me feel proud and legit.
(Ikea demands stamina. Not for the faint of heart.)
Working On…
June 7, 2012
Mara's nursery is coming together at a snail's pace. Maybe my lack of motivation is because I don't have an overarching vision and I'm content enough when there aren't toys and blocks underfoot. But, inspired by these photos from Plumetis Magazine, I made a hot pink star garland out of felt. That's progress.
And that second pic — that's the wannabe mid-century modern kitchenette I've been building for Dax. The sink is foam core, but the rest is all cardboard. I have a game plan for the burners, but still trying to think of a solution for the faucet. Dax's great imagination has been tiding him over in the meantime. Full post to come…soon?
Speaking of projects, I shared a fun twist on the traditional paper airplane over at All for the Boys along with an easy tutorial for our favorite flyer.
Also, Liz of Marry Me and Fly Free did an interview with me about travel.
Congrats to Anna, comment number 57 for being the Carter's $100 gift card giveaway winner!

Tagged Under : lion air, screenshots
Almost all airline companies in Indonesia increase their aircraft fleet. Along with the increase of their fleet a few flight routes also added, not just limited to local flights but also flights to another countries. As an example Lion Air. The airline is adding two Boeing 747-400 fleet to serve their new flight routes from Jakarta to Jeddah, starting in June 2009. Here is a few screenshots of mine, using PMDG 747-400. Click to enlarge and enjoy.

Introduction to AnimalsSponges, CnidariansCharacteristics of AnimalsAnimals are multicellularExcept for sponges, animal cells are arranged into tissues. Tissues are necessary to produce organs and organ systems. Tissues, organs, and organ systems enabled the evolution of large, multicellular bodies. Animal cells lack cell wallsThe cells are held together by protein structures called junctions that extend from one cell to another. An abundance of extracellular proteins also support the cells. A skeleton supports the tissues of large animals. Animals have a period of embryonic developmentDuring embryonic development, cells become specialized and tissues form. The growth of tissues, organs, and organ systems therefore requires a period of embryonic development.Animals are heterotrophsHeterotrophs consume their organic food. Except for sponges, they ingest food and digest it in a central cavity. Recall that fungi are also heterotrophs but fungi do not ingest their food. Fungi secrete enzymes into their environment and absorb broken down organic food products. Animals are motileHeterotrophy often requires motility to capture prey. Animals have motility during at least some part of their life cycle. Animals have nervous and muscle tissueMuscle tissue allows animals to move. Nervous tissue allows rapid intercellular communication and enables coordinated movement and response to stimuli. Animals are diploid (diplontic life cycle)Their gametes are heterogametes (different sizes); eggs are larger than sperm. The sperm are flagellated. Gametes are produced by meiosis. The development of some animals includes one or more larval stages. Larvae refers to immature individuals of species in which the body form of the immature individuals (the larvae) is very different than the body form of the adult. Because larvae and adults have different forms, they often eat different food and may live in different habitats. Larvae are transformed into adults by a developmental process called metamorphosis. A typical animal life cycle is shown below. SymmetryTypes of SymmetryRadial SymmetryThe body parts of a radially symmetrical animal are arranged around a central axis so that each part extends from the center. The animal can be cut along the axis in more than one plane to produce identical halves. Animals that exhibit radial symmetry tend to be sessile (immobile). Radial symmetry allows them to reach out in all directions. Bilateral SymmetryOnly one cut along the longitudinal axis will produce identical halves of a bilaterally symmetrical animal. Bilateral symmetry is best for motile animals. AsymmetryAsymmetrical animals have no pattern of symmetry. The simplest animals (sponges) are asymmetrical. Evolution of SymmetrySponges lack symmetry, and Cnidarians exhibit radial symmetry. The remainder of the phyla listed below have bilateral symmetry. Body PlansEmbryonic DevelopmentA fertilized animal egg divides to produce a solid ball of cells. Then, cell migration results in a hollow ball called a blastula. Some cells of the blastula migrate inward producing a gastrula. The opening is the blastopore. The tube produced by this process will become the gut (digestive tract) of the mature animal. In species that have a separate mouth and anus, the tube will eventually extend through the length of the embryo and fuse with the opposite side. One opening will become the mouth, the other will become the anus. In the diagram below, a circle is used to represent a blastula. Embryonic Germ LayersThe three layers of tissues that become established during early embryonic development are called germ layers. They give rise to the body tissues. These layers are ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. The diagram below shows a cross section of an animal embryo . The ectoderm forms from the outer layer of cells. It gives rise to the skin and nervous system. The cells that formed the tube-like structure in the gastrula (see the diagram above) are endoderm. These cells will form the lining of the gut and the organs derived from the gut. Mesoderm forms between the ectoderm and endoderm. It becomes the muscles, connective tissues, skeleton, kidneys, circulatory and reproductive organs Body Cavity
GutThe gut is the digestive tract. It enables the animal to digest food outside of the cells (extracellular digestion). In animals without a digestive tract, food items are brought into the cell for digestion (intracellular digestion). A sac-like gut has one opening. Food enters and leaves through the same opening. A complete gut has two openings, a mouth and an anus. It is sometimes referred to as a tube-within-a-tube. This type of gut allows for the specialization of parts along the tube. For example, part of the gut can become specialized for food storage, other parts can become specialized for secreting digestive enzymes and other parts for absorbing nutrients. Large, Active AnimalsSmall animals do not require any special means to distribute nutrients and gasses or to collect wastes because every cell in the body is near a source of food. If the cells are in contact with the external environment, it is not necessary to collect wastes for removal. As evolution proceeded toward larger forms however, special structures evolved to facilitate these processes.Circulatory SystemLarger animals require a circulatory system to transport nutrients, gasses, and wastes. Fluid within the body cavity can act like a circulatory system and distribute nutrients and gasses.In an open circulatory system, blood leaves the blood and flows freely within the tissues. This system is not very efficient because there is no blood pressure to move blood rapidly through the tissues. The oval line in the diagram below represents an animals body. Blood does not leave the blood vessels in a closed circulatory system. In this type of system, the heart can pump blood through the tissues rapidly.
Some Anatomical Terms
Sponges (Phyla: Calcarea and Silicea)
Structure of SpongesAlthough sponges have cells with specialized functions they do not have tissues. There is no endoderm, mesoderm, or ectoderm. The cells of a sponge are arranged into an inner and an outer layer with amoeboid cells crawling within a gelatinous layer that separates the two. This middle layer is the mesohyl. Collar Cells (choanocytes)The inner layer is composed of flagellated collar cells (choanocytes). The flagella beat to move water in through the pores and out the osculum. Food is trapped by the collar cells and is digested within the cell (intracellular digestion) or is passed to amoeboid cells for digestion. Choanocytes (collar cells) are similar to protists called choanoflagellates. These unicellular protists are thought to be the ancestors of sponges. Amoeboid CellsFood particles trapped by collar cells are passed to amoeboid cells for digestion and circulation. Amoeboid cells secrete hard mineral needle-like structures called spicules and skeletal fibers made of a protein called spongin. Spongin gives a commercial sponge its elastic characteristics. The photograph below is a cross section of a sponge (Grantia) magnified 400 times. Notice the outer epidermal cells, pores, and choanocytes. Reproduction Most sponges exhibit sequential hermaphroditism; they function as one sex for a period of time and then change to the other sex. This prevents self-fertilization. Gametes are produced by amoebocytes or choanocytes. Sperm are released into the water; eggs are fertilized within the mesohyl. Although the adult is stationary, the zygote develops into a ciliated larva and swims to a new location. Asexual reproduction is by fragmentation and budding. Two types of skeletal material support the cells of sponges. Spicules are needle-like structures composed of either calcium carbonate or silica and offer support and protection. Spongin is a fibrous protein that provides support and elasticity. Commercial sponges are composed of spongin. CommentsSponges may resemble a colony of protists more than multicellular animals; they have no true tissues. Cnidarians (Phylum Cnidaria)Some examples of Cnidarians are hydra, jellyfishes, corals, sea anemones, and Portuguese man-of-wars. The photograph below is a hydra (40X). Characteristics
Most cnidarians are marine species but a few hydrozoans, including Hydra, live in freshwater. Members of this group can reproduce by budding, an asexual process in which small polyps form on a parent polyp and then break off. Below: Budding in Hydra Sexual reproduction also occurs and produces a larval (juvenile) form called a planula (plural planulae). The planula is ciliated and capable of swimming to a new location. Planulae settle down and develop into a polyps. Obelia is a colony of polyps enclosed by a protective layer composed of chitin. New polyps are produced asexually by budding. Budding from the polyp also produces Medusae. The medusae function in sexual reproduction by producing sperm and eggs. The zygote develops into a ciliated larvae (planula) which settles down and develops into a polyp colony. The life cycle of obelia is shown below. Below: Obelia Below: Obelia (X 40) Below (2 photographs): Obelia medussae (X100) Below: hydrozoan jellyfishes (preserved specimens); Gonionemus; Polyorchis The Portuguese man-of-war (below) is a colony. The original polyp becomes a float. Other polyps become specialized for feeding or reproduction. The feeding polyps each contain a single long tentacle. Sea Anemones and Corals (class Anthozoa)Sea anemones and corals have polyps and no medusae. Below: Sea anemone (preserved specimen) Corals are colonial and secrete calcium carbonate skeletons. Coral reefs are the accumulation of these skeletons. Below: Close-up of the calcium carbonate skeleton secreted by the northern coral (astrangia). Many corals have photosynthetic algae living within their tissues. Photosynthesis provides these corals with an additional source of food. Jellyfishes (Class Scyphozoa)The polyp stage of schyphozoans is small; the medusa stage is dominant. Species that live in the open ocean usually do not have a polyp stage in the life cycle. |

Homes with Rustic Country Theme and a Cottage Style
Many Americans love homes that have a rustic country theme and cottage style. This type of home was patterned from the houses in France, England and Sweden. When you say rustic country, it means that your home is equipped with things that are "raw" and simple, which includes fire woods and unpolished furniture. You will usually find a cottage style home simple, comfy, old-fashioned yet very attractive.
Homes like these have floors that are made of wood or stones. Many decades ago, the floors that were made of wood were cut creating boards that were then waxed, sometimes painted, and manually polished. If you are attracted with wooden floors, it would be nice to top it with rugs made in Asian countries as their designs are more ethnic and nature-inspired. Decorations used in a rustic country are usually handmade, but absolutely exudes simplicity and elegance.
Most of us are aware that the furniture in cottages usually is made of pine trees. They even have paintings on their surfaces bearing different nature-inspired designs like birds, trees, flowers or animals. If you want your home to have a rustic country theme, here's a simple step for you to do. Get a piece of wooden furniture, coat it with paint, wipe off some of the paint, and let it dry. When it's dry, get a wood stain and spread it imperfectly creating an antique and rustic look.
For the other accessories, you may use woven baskets to hold fire woods, fresh flowers and plants. Choose a brass to hold candle sticks, use kerosene or hurricane lamps, storm lanterns or a century old-looking chandelier. Brown, blue, off white and green are the colors that are usually seen in a cottage style home.
To create a rustic look in your kitchen, leave your shelves open, hang your pans, and store food items in a cupboard. You may want you get larger cookware sets and make use of pots that are made of steel, cast iron or copper.
Bathrooms of a cottage style houses are painted with neutral colors. The lighting system has a dimming effect making the space look so old-fashioned. The cabinets are all made of wood, which also have old and rough-looking surfaces. This area spells relaxation, elegance and tranquillity resembling the qualities of nature.
When wanting to embrace a rustic country theme, do not forget to include your bedroom. Use quilted bed covers and blankets, wooden side tables and dressers, and install wallpapers with images of nature.

BENTONVILLE, Ark., and MINNEAPOLIS-Both Walmart and Target have launched tests involving fast deliveries of merchandise purchased online.
Walmart's program is part of its "Walmart To Go" effort. It involves same-day deliveries of online purchases during the holiday shopping season. The test is now being conducted in three markets—northern Virginia, Philadelphia and Minneapolis—with plans to expand the test to the San Francisco/San Jose market in late October or early November. Walmart is charging its customers $10 for same-day delivery for an unlimited number of items, with no minimum purchase.
Target, meanwhile, has joined the eBay Now service for a test in the San Francisco market. In this, shoppers place online orders that are fulfilled by eBay from Target stores, with the option of having the merchandise delivered within hours of the order. As part of this initiative, Target will begin to sell a limited assortment of its merchandise on eBay's Marketplace.
A Target spokesman said, "We see great potential in both initiatives, and are excited about the pilots as we work to create great digital shopping experiences for our increasingly tech-savvy guests."
Walmart launched "Walmart To Go" for grocery deliveries in San Jose in April 2010, and later extended it to the San Francisco area. The holidays test offering extends the service to include general merchandise.
