Maryknoll Awaits Next Step Towards Canonization of Father Vincent Capodanno, M.N. June 14th, 2006 - 08:16 PST
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SERVANT OF GOD LAID DOWN HIS LIFE MARYKNOLL, N.Y. – On the front lines of the Vietnam war he had the fearless devotion of a soldier, but he carried a bible, not a rifle. Maryknoll missioner Father Vincent Capodanno lived in danger serving as chaplain, and paid for it with his life. Now, officially declared a "Servant of God," he is on his first step towards sainthood. Capodanno left the safety of a parish in Taiwan in 1966 to serve as a Navy chaplain in Vietnam. Maryknoll Father Dan Dolan, who met Capodanno while engaged in pastoral work in Taiwan in 1959, describes "Father Vince," as he was called, as a very "focused and serious type…who was willing to face a considerable amount of danger to be with the troops on the front lines of battle." "I am not at all surprised at Father Vince's designation as Servant of God in terms of his track record in his work as chaplain," says Dolan. Capodanno left a lasting impression on all who knew him or know of him. Maryknoll Assistant General Father John McAuley says, "The life and death of Father Vincent Capodanno, M.M., Servant of God, demonstrate concretely and dramatically the radical purpose of ministry and service on behalf of others: to lay down one's life unconditionally." Dolan says Capodanno "set an example for other missioners in the way he carried out his duties as chaplain, and his complete dedication to the men for whom he was pastor. He possessed a unique combination of talent and modesty, but most of all he was focused, very focused in his work." The process of Father Vince's Cause for Canonization was initiated by the Archdiocese for the Military Services May 8, 2006. It is 39 years since his heroic death in the treacherous jungles of Vietnam, September 4, 1967. He is affectionately referred to as "The Grunt Padre," a term applied to marine infantry men. Father Capodanno served back to back tours in Vietnam, received three Purple Hearts for injuries sustained in a single day and was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor and a navy frigate was named for him. On the day of his death, Capodanno ran through a hail of mortar, small arms and machine gun fire to help a platoon that was bogged down. He was severely wounded by a mortar shell which severed part of his hand and left shrapnel wounds to his face. Capodanno refused medical help, and even used his own body as a shield between incoming fire and a cluster of marines, sustaining 27 gunshot wounds. A corpsman tending to other wounded was hit. When Father Vince ran to help him, a machine gun opened up and killed both of them. Such is the stuff of military legends. Such is the work of a missioner who is under consideration for sainthood by the Roman Catholic Church. Ordained as a Maryknoll priest on June 14, 1958, and assigned as a missioner to Formosa (now Taiwan), he sought permission and joined the Navy Chaplain Corps for duty in Vietnam. He was a constant companion to the marines, living, eating and sleeping alongside the fighters. Fr. Capodanno's story became widely known thanks to Father Daniel Mode, of the Arlington, VA., Diocese, a Navy chaplain himself, who researched and wrote a book about Capodanno called The Grunt Padre. Summing up his personal impressions about Father Vince, Father Dolan recalls Capodanno "was very mature for his years, very committed and concerned about doing mission work, and everything he did in life was the same way. He put his heart and soul in it in every way." __________________ Maryknoll, the U.S.-based Catholic missionary movement, includes the Maryknoll Society (Fathers and Brothers), the Maryknoll Congregation (Sisters), the Maryknoll Lay Missioners, and the Maryknoll Affiliates.

Hi, everyone!!!
I'm continuing my search for good vision with contact lenses. I really didn't like my torics, so now I'm trying rigid gas permeable. So far, so good! I want to get a spare pair (these are sooo much smaller than my very first contacts years ago!!), but apparently not all manufacturers use a standard of measurement! I've called WalMart and they said it would be a special order and cost me over $150 for a pair!! I went to 1-800 contacts on-line, and they don't have rigid gas permeable. I went to coastal contacts, and they have a variety of types, but I've heard that your contact Rx has the specific brand of contact you were fitted with (sorry to end that sentence with a preposition!). Can someone please explain why the diameter for one lens mfg (say Accuvue) is different for another mfg (say, Bausch and Lomb) ? Wouldn't ya think that diameter is diameter and it's a standard unit of measurement, like in millimeters? Same thing goes for measuring base curve...isn't a curve a curve and measured the same mathematical way? Juuuust wondering... cuz I'm confused! Thanks! Smiles,

Well, I've been hoping someone else would know the answer to this, because I don't. I started wearing hard contacts in 1969 and switched to gas perms in the early 80's. I've never ordered a second set, but my first sets have run about $150 and replacing one lens is around $85-90. I did experiment with monovision and now effectively have a spare pair of regular lenses. I'm not sure that keeping them stored in the same solution for such a long time is a good idea, though. |
- Posted by paula_in_PA (My Page) on Sun, Dec 5, 04 at 19:44
I wear monovision's also, and have a second pair for backup. Long term storage of your backup pair should be in a dry case. (your soaking solution would dry up anyway long term, so just store them dry) |

I'm guessing that the "brand names" are rather proprietary, so they don't want folks to buy generics of the same specifications at a cheaper cost. They'd be out of business in no time at all. I've worn "hard" contact lenses for 32 years. Been wearing the gas perms ever since they were "invented." Been there, done that with the monovision - hated it. I have true bifocal gas perms now. They're great! Why not just ask your eye doctor (from whom you got the gas perms) what it would cost for a spare pair? Paula is absolutely correct. For long-term storage of "hard" lenses, you should clean them thoroughly, then put them in a clean, dry contact lens case. Put a piece of tape on the bottom that has the date, and any Rx info that you might have. |
Lindsey_ CA pretty much said it all in a nutshell having started wearing the hard contacts in my early teens and switched to the gas permables in the 80s ,i have tried the soft contacts and i found them to be harder to get used to as i was told by my optometrist to put them directly on instead of sliding them up and into place . but one of the downsides to the rigid gas permables is that when dust or other forgein matter gets between you eyeball and the rigid lenses it can really cause one to mutter vile threats and obscenitys until you learn to live with it but i have found the best solution is to rinse the lense off .

"Arrive 5.45pm left 12.30am found another place to stay.We book for a room on the first floor with twin beds were given a ground floor room with double bed (we are two single women)we asked for another room they said they would check one hour later we were still waiting no one came we went to reception and were told none avaiable and would not be for the next fortnight decided to give it a go and were told they would bring some sheets so one of us could sleep in the kitchen (no aircon) the pool was about three foot from the front door and window you would not be able to open the curtains it was dark and the heat was unbearable.We waited 2 hours and still no sheets, went to reception no one there rang the bell no one came they were in the bar with other guest decided to go for a walk and look for somewhere else to stay found a hotel and returned packed our bags and just as we were leaving the owner came running after us first time we had seen him we explained we had decided to move on.He said we must sign and say why were not happy we did so and gave it to him he shouted at us calling us liars then screwed it up and was going to throw it at us and then thought beter of it as the taxi driver waitng for us was watching he swore and told us never to come back so we just went.The taxi driver told the manager of the hotel that we stayed at that man had behave very badly and he was not surprised we had not sayed there.I am sure other people have had good experiences at the Poppy but I am afraid that the way we were treat there was no way we would have stayed and it would have been a miserable holiday as it was we had a wonderful time at a lovely hotel on the sea front.(forgot to say it says that the poppy is 5 minuted from the beach make that 25 minutes and when you hsve to walk at night down a gravel road with no lights not very safe.)
We had read reveiws which were good and bad about these apartments and have always felt that if it's not wonderful just make the best of it's only two weeks but quite frankly I could not have stayed there for under any cicumstances we love Turkey and this has not put us off this was just a bad experience."

"We arrived at the apartments around 6am, and there was no movement anywhere! Eventually we found reception and a cryptic note gave the room number of who to inform of our arrival. He didn't know we were arriving - but on checking his computer our booking was there - phew!
We were shown to our apartment and first impressions were disappointment and this worsened on closer inspection.....
The apartments are NOT clean; our doors didn't lock; A/C wouldnt operate; and ants were everywhere. Being on the ground floor (or maybe even basement as we were lower than the swimming pool!), the 'balcony' looked onto a fantastic dusty garden. Really impressive especially with a baby.
Needless to say we found alternative accomodation, and the 'manager' even had the cheek to demand payment for a day's use of A/C!!!!
Whoever gave these apartments 2 stars is having a complete laugh. It is obvious that there is potential, however someone needs to spend a vast sum of money to improve the cleanliness and standard of these apartments to even justify 2 star.
Take our advice and book elsewhere, its not worth it to spoil your holiday by staying in this dump."

"when we turnt up (early hours) there was someone waiting to greet us and show us our room. our apartments was great we had a lovely ground floor balcony at the back and literally 2 steps from the lovely clean swimming pool at the front. plenty of sun beds. the staff was so friendly and helpfull. anything we needed information about Gem the manager was there to advise. we eat a couple of times at the bar and the food was great, so laid back we add dinner and dessert from their bar in our balcony. yilmaz made the best pancakes ever . we played pool at their bar many times and had drinks. this was the first hotel were literally everyone was so friendly andwilling to advise what trips was good and what ones was not good for little ones. so close to the beach. our apartment was clean, spaciouse and very very accessable. althought we had a small leak in our room it couldnt of been sorted out any quicker. when we found out that goldtrail went bust gem was there for us helping us out with his contacts and takeing of the pressure by re-ashoring us that we were fine. calis is a very lovely place to stay and really would come back again."

"We have just had a lovely relaxing week at the Poppy apartments. When we arrived the staff came out and intoduced themselfs to us, and took are cases from us. My husband is disabled and needs a wheel chair they could not help us enough they gave us a ground floor room which was basic but clean, with plenty of clean towels. Very much like most small and friendly apartments in Greece and Turkey so we knew what to expect. just a few steps from our front door and you are in the pool. allways plenty of sunbeds and you did not have to get up early and reserve one. we ate they a couple of times and the food was very good Yamis cooks a very good pasta, my husband liked the pancakes he made. your not far away from the resort centre with lots of restraurants ans bars and the beautiful beach and promenade. On the last day we did not have to leave our apartment until our transfer arrives( at no extra charge) as we were on a late flight this was great. We met some lovely people whilst we were there as it is only a small complex would definalty stay there again. Thanks again for a lovely week"

"We have just returned from an 11 night stay at the poppy apartments and wish to tell people on how we were treated there. On arrival at 4.30am the place was in darkness and if it was not for our tranfer taxi driver knocking on doors we had visions of sleeping on the poolside beds for the rest of the night. When we eventually located him he said he had forgot about us even though our name was clearly wrote on the calender for that date. For the first few days we did not buy any drink or food from the restaurant and were completely ignored, after speaking to several other guests this was the norm. However if you bought food/drinks you were greeted with good morning and pleasant conversation during the day. Some guests were charged 20TL each for 5 towels that the manager said they had damaged which is nearly £9 per towel. One of these towels was used as a bath mat as there was none in the apartment and he was still charged. On one afternoon the manager set up an inflatable ball in the pool and asked several guests if they would like to try this out-no mention of any cost. Several took up this offer and were approx 5 mins inside the ball and got charged 15 TL each at the end of their holiday!!!
We were unfotunate to lose our door key through a hole in our bag and tried every effort to locate it but to no avail. Reluctantly the manager let us in to our room and after speaking to the ownwer the following morning he informed us he had to get a locksmith out. Two days later we were still waiting and had to leave our room door open for this duration eventually we were given a new key and shown a lock barrel. On our last day the owner presented us with a bill for 25TL for the barrel when my husband quiered this and said the barrel had not been touched he went away and returned after a few minutes saying there had been a mistake and that he had been told the barrel had been changed by his manager. He agreed that there would be no charge but if we had not quieried this they would have took this money from us. We noticed they were charging 4TL for 5 litre bottles of water which was four times as much as local shops were charging.
We asked 3 times for a gas bottle, both lights out on balconies and light out outside front door. Back balcony must not have been swept for weeks as full of garden debris and unable to sit out here. Cleaner did not come in every day and when she did come in only the bins were emptied.
We chose these apartments because we wanted self catering facilities yet we were made to feel really uncomfortable during our stay because we chose not to eat and drink here. The only good point about these apartments were that we met some lovely people who were staying there who also were treated like us. Needless to say we will not be coming back!!!"

"After spending our holiday at the poppy apartments we felt the need to make some comments on how we were treated on our stay there. We arrived at 4.30am and the place was in darkness-nobody around to show us to our rooms. The manager was asleep in his room and our transfer driver had to knock on several doors before he was located. He said he had forgotten about us!!!
After the first few days because we did not buy any meals or drinks around the pool bar we were completely ignored for the whole 11 days of our holiday. After speaking to other guests we found out that they were totally ignored for the same reason. However anyone who bought drinks and meals were greeted with a good morning and pleasant conversation during the day. Some guests were charged 20TL each for 5 towels that the manager had said they had damaged, which is nearly £9 per towel. One of these towels were used instead of a bath mat which they did not have.
On one afternoon the manager set up an inflatable ball in the pool and invited guests to take part. Guests took part for approx 5 minutes rolling around the pool. There was no mention whatsoever of any charge and guests at the end of their holiday were charged 15 lira each for this. We went out one night and lost our key due to a hole in our bag and after retracing our steps twiceand making every effort to find the key we informed the manager what had happened and he reluctantly let us into our room after informing us he would have to call the locksmith out to change the lock. Nearly 2 days later having had to leave our door open when we went out the manager came down to the poolside and gave us a key and showed us a lock barrel inferring that he had changed the barrel on the lock. After checking the lock we found that the barrel had not been changed but had simply issued us with a spare key from existing lock.
On our last day we were presented with a bill for 25TL as they had changed the barrel we informed him that this was not the case and it had not been touched. After going away for several mins he returned saying that there would be no charge as there had been a misunderstanding and he thought the barrel had been changed!!!
We had no lights working on both balconies and outside our apartment door was in darkness. Back balcony was full of leaves and flowers I don't think it had been swept for months unable to sit out here. Shower curtain was mouldy and very limited hot water available for the duration of our holiday. We did not have a gas bottle and had to ask 3 times for this.
Water overpriced charging 4TL which was four times as much as local supermarkets were charging. We choose this apartmentl because it had self catering facilities yet we were made to feel really uncomfortable because we chose not to eat or drink in the hotel.
However on a brighter note we met some lovely people Dave and Deryl. Ozzy and Em and a Liverpool brother and sister who made our holiday!!!
Please do not visit these apartments if you have any sense- needless to say we won't be rushing back!!!!
PS Please visit a lovely little bar in Calis called AR and ME it sells a large bottle of ice cold Efes for 3.5TL and the owner is a lovely young mother who has a small son. It is located just over the road to Irish bar I think it is called Shamrock."

"My partner and I travelled to Calis Beach with 3 friends, after booking a last minute holiday. We all love Turkey and usually visit Icmeler, however, we decided to have a change and opted for Calis Beach nd the 'Poppy Appartmens'. What a great choice. We arrived just after midnight and was welcomed by 3 members of staff. Whilst having a drink in the bar, we enquired if we could get a drop of milk for the morning, 'Charlie' (as my other half named him) actually he was the Manager 'Yilmaz' jumped on his scooter and went to the supermarket to bring us Water, Milk and Juice for the next morning, never before in a Self Catering complex have we received such wonderful service. That was how all the staff were all week. They couln't do enough for us, we enjoyed wonderful meals in the bar, Yilmaz's wife Elif does all the room cleaning and offers a laundry service if required, great job done.
In my words to sum the place up not 5 * accommodation (basic but very clean) definately not 5 * price paid but hey IT IS definately 5 * SERVICE. Thanks to all of you for making our stay so pleasant.
Oh by the way, Calis Beach and Fethiye are lovely places, Calis Beach has pleanty of bars and restaurants and people are very friendly.
Well worth a visit."

"This place gets one star for the fact the pool area was fine and our holiday was dirt cheap - emphasis on dirt because we saw a lot of it!
Unfortunately, this place is in dire need of refurbishment. It also wouldn't hurt them to come round with a can of RAID once a day since there are ants EVERYWHERE, on the floor, on the worktops, tables, etc. Not very pleasant.
I have to agree with the man below. They do try to take advantage at every opportunity to bleed money from you. We asked Yumaz - odd jobsman - three times to fix our balcony light which he never did get round to and dragged his heels changing the bulbs in our rooms when they blew TWICE. They only changed our towels/linen once during the entire week we were there which was quite difficult because we had to use them to mop up all the water that came flooding out of the "shower"and it was obvious that the floors hadn't been properly cleaned under the beds and such - I won't tell you what we found there! Yet, he then has the cheek to ask us if we want to go to his Turkish Night at 35 TL which, I am very glad to say, we avoided like the plague. The bar prices are higher than the rest of Calis (5 TL for a small beer compared to 3, 50 TL elsewhere) and most disgustingly they charged us 5 TL for a 5litre bottle of water! It was supposed to be 4 TL, which is bad enough considering it only cost 1,50 TL in the shops, but the owner said he would give us our change later but never did.
Again, I agree with the man below's comments on the cooking/eating utensils. Even thinking about it now makes me squirm and he's right about the warm water too - that was a complete pain in the neck.
I think the problem is that they've got one or two staff doing everything: reception, bar, restaurant/cooking, cleaning, pool maintenance, room maintenance, etc. That's why the place is totally neglected but, for me, that's not good enough. Thank god we were only there for a week, I think I would have snapped if I was there any longer."

"Just wanted to put a review of this place online as we used this website to check it before we went and although there a few negative reviews we have absolutely nothing negative to say about the place - it was wonderful. The couple that own in are a British lady and her Turkish husband and they were really lovely and helpful.
We were looking for quite a quiet holiday as we were travelling as a couple, the resort was perfect, not too boring and quiet but not massively full of brits abroad. We went outside of the school holiday time so it was a bit less busy. The pool was perfect, our room was a lot bigger than we expected - had a bedroom, bathroom, living room and kitchen! We only cooked in the room once but had everything we needed. Was clean and tidy - the bar was useful for food and a drink now and again but it was generally quite empty while we were there, as was the pool. Just a quick stroll to the beach, took about 5 mins to get to the sea and lots of restaurants on the seafront. The beach wasn't as nice as the one at Olu Deniz but that's a much busier resort. There is a water taxi that takes you over to Fethiye and there are lovely restaurants over there, very cheap to use and Dolmus's are amazing value to travel from town to town.
We went on a boat trip from the nearby Olu Deniz which was a real highlight, would definitely recommend! And we went to the Turkish Baths as well which were a brilliant experience. Definitely would recommend this place, had the best holiday!"

"Stayed in this apart hotel for one week.
There was no cleaning at all during this week.
Toilet - and kitchen bins were emtied every 2. day. It was 38 dg.
There was dirty anf filthy every where.
Kitchen tools horrible and very unhygienic. Had to boil it in order to sterilize it.
The fryingpan was unusable - covered in old sticky food.
The floors were dirty and covered with black curly hair and ants.
Half the periode was a hell of noise, as the swimming pool has no closing time. 3 english youngsters had their daily waterbattles terrorizing the rest of the hotels guests. This went on for 3 hours every evening and was not stoped until 9 PM. We had to flee to the bach of the hotel closing doors and windows in order to have a litlle pease. Late at night there were a lot of noise again, as more or less drunk people were shouting from one balcony to another. Even the owners and caretaker of the hotel were shouting from early morning till late night and was drinking with there friends.
Not a nice place to stay.
Do not go to this establishment.
It is absolutely disgusting."

Now that it's almost Christmas, how did everyone do for fall craft shows? We're in Florida and did back to back shows every weekend from October to December 12th. Phew! The hurricanes hurt the beginning of the season but we ended strong, had great repeat business and feel really good about 2005. Anyone else?
Hazel - how'd it go switching to jewelry? Every show we went to had tons of jewelers who complained about the saturation. Jennifer |
Follow-Up Postings:
If it wasn't for the jewelry I wouldn't have sold ANYTHING! I poured 70 bars of soap in October, I still have about 25 left! Shows around here were crappy. I ended up with a bottom line that's almost exactly what I made last year for the fall, but almost all of that is jewelry sales. I sold very little in the soap/scented products line. I normally sell out of lavender dryer bags & catnip mice a couple of times during the season. I Still have catnip mice, and I think I sold 4 lavender dryer bags between ALL the shows. I am seriously rethinking doing craft shows, or at least local shows. I have thought about coming down to Fla. and doing some of the Buckler winter shows, Jan-March time frame. Doubt that I could do any this season, but maybe next. I'm going to try doing some home jewelry shows, featuring handmade jewelry from myself & a friend who does totally different stuff than I do, and I will have some commercilly made stuff too, things we don't make. I have 2 shows scheduled for after the 1st of the year. I'll see how they progress as the year goes on & that will make my decision as to me doing Fla shows or not. I can do do at least as well (LOL!) as I did with craft shows for the past 2 years by doing the home shows. I'll just stick with that, for now. Glad to hear your shows did well!, given the hurricanes. Hope it continues for 2005, but without the hurricanes! hazel |

[1365] Analysis Aurora-A Kinase Expression in Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg Cells of Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma: Implications in the Regulation of G2/M Phase of Cell Cycle
R Kanagal Shamanna, N Lehman, KV Inamdar. Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, MI
Background: Accumulating evidence suggests that the characteristic multinucleation of the Hodgkin's and Reed-Sternberg (H/RS) cells of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) results from profound alteration of cell cycle regulating proteins in the G1/S as well as G2/M phases. With respect to the later, recent studies report that the H/RS cells frequently exhibit S-phase disorder, aneuploidy and defective mitoses. Cyclin A and B1, the key regulators of G2/M transition are frequently altered in these cells. Aurora-A (AA) a Ser/Thr kinase, is also a key regulator of G2/M phase, controlling spindle assembly and centrosome separation. Altered expression AA has been implicated in the tumorigenesis of several non-Hodgkin lymphomas but its role in the pathogenesis of cHL has not been studied to date.
Design: We assessed 32 cases of cHL (between 2003 and 2009) for AA expression by immunohistochemistry. Cases selected after careful histopathologic analysis had significant numbers of morphologically typical H/RS in all cases examined. Cases comprised of cHL nodular sclerosis (n=22) and mixed cellularity (n=10) subtypes defined by the WHO classification. A mouse monoclonal AA-antibody was used (Bethyl Labs, USA). The tumor cells were scored for cytoplasmic and /or nuclear expression of AA and each case was also semi-quantitatively graded for staining intensity (1-3+).
Results: AA was detected in all cases of cHL (32/32, 100%). AA was more commonly expressed in the cytoplasm of H/RS cells [ 20/32 (62.5%) cases] than in the nucleus [9/32 (28%) ]. Both nuclear and cytoplasmic expression was observed in 3/32 (9%) cases, all of which were of the NS subtype. With respect to intensity of expression, 1+ (weak) expression of AA was observed in 22/32 (68.7%) cases while 2+ or 3+ (strong) staining intensity was observed in 10/32 (31.2%) cases. All 3 cases with both nuclear and cytoplasmic AA expression has a 3+ staining intensity.
Conclusions: Altered AA expression in cHL is interesting and its differential expression in NS and MC subtypes is noteworthy and warrants further investigation. This finding is particularly important in light of reported constitutive activation of nuclear factor (NF)-kB pathway in cHL. AA regulation of NF-kB pathway may support the proliferation of H/RS cells.

You know the routine - you're browsing Android Police, scrolling through our amazing content when you lie down in bed, only to have your phone go crazy. The narrow content you were scrolling through has switched from portrait to landscape view, even though the phone is still facing the same direction relative to your head as it was before. At best, you stand your phone back up, pull down your notification shade, and press the toggle.
It looks like the new Google Play Services rolling out today held one more surprise besides hints of Android Device Manager. With the latest update, Android's Photo Sphere viewer can make use of the on-board compass, allowing you to navigate a sphere just by moving your device, much like Streetview's "Compass Mode."
To enter compass mode, users need only press the arrow icon in the lower left corner of the screen.
Does the fact that your smartphone or tablet's orientation control conform to its orientation rather than yours constantly enrage you? Well, you could go buy a late-model Samsung device for its Smart Rotate feature, which uses the front-facing camera to see which way your face is pointing and adjusts the screen accordingly. Or you could download GMD Smart Rotate, which does the exact same thing.
GMD replaces the accelerometer function with facial recognition, meaning that if you hold your phone in portrait mode even when you yourself are horizontal, it will know not to rotate the screen.
Inspired by the popular Flash-based puzzler Coign of Vantage by Bobblebrook (which has also been available as an iOS game for some time), Noodlecake has released their latest creation to the Play Store – Pixel Twist.
The game's listing describes it as "a unique little 'zen exercise'," and it undoubtedly lives up to that billing. The goal of the game is simple – rotate a cloud of pixels until it matches a specified image.
Launcher Pro, my favorite launcher replacement, got updated today with a much requested feature - homescreen transition animations, available to all LP users, not just Plus. In addition to the usual and very smooth slide effect, we now have 4 more: Scale, Rotate, Flip, and Cube. All are smooth, except for the Cube transition, so I would advise against using it until Fede makes it a bit more snappy.

Affects of Government Shutdown On National Parks
6 comments:
This was the driving force in our purchase of 5 acres adjacent to the George Washington National Forest, Trout Pond Area. We LOVE to camp and we got locked out during a vacation on Hatteras. We wanted a place 'close' to home that would never be closed. When there are no chaperons to parkland, illegal activity can dangerously go unchecked.
ReplyDeleteFor now the threat of a government shutdown of parks has been delayed again. Congress has still not come to an agreement on a full budget. They just keep passing continuing resolutions putting it off. I would try to keep track of US news reports. Should a shutdown occur, some parks will still be accessible but facilities in the parks may be closed. The longest closure that I know of occurred in the mid 90s and lasted 27 days.
I am not sure that answers your concerns or questions.- AnonymousApril 5, 2011 at 5:08 PM
As we prepared for a drive up/down the Parkway mid-April, I found your blog. Excellent commentary and best wishes and kudos to all the National Park Service employees. Fingers crossed for budgets passed and warmer weather.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousApril 5, 2011 at 5:26 PM
We are supposed to go to Death Valley next week... I booked a four night stay there. It's spring break for my family.... What will we do if there is a shutdown?
The irony of it all is that my husband is a federal civil servant at NASA himself... - AnonymousApril 5, 2011 at 8:53 PM
So, what happens to non-government employees in national parks during a shutdown, especially those who live in the parks?

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Buddy!
Facts about Buddy
- Breed: Australian Cattle Dog Mix
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Buddy's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Buddy was rescued from a local shelter his time was up and we rescued this great little guy. Buddy is a small queensland heeler around 25#. He is around 3 years old and very very sweet and loving. He loves to sit next to you and follow you around, he is very loyal, but thats what a heeler is. He does get a long with other dogs but does NOT like puppies. He is a great little guy and is potty trained.
Other Pets at Niki's Pals 4 Paws
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Buddy, a Golden Valley Australian Cattle Dog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Australian Cattle Dog for sale in Golden Valley, or seeking a Australian Cattle Dog dog from a breeder in Golden Valley.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Golden Valley 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 Golden Valley 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 Australian Cattle Dog breeders who help with Australian Cattle Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Golden Valley paves the way for another one to be saved.

About Us
Location: Seattle, WA, United States
Ruby and Jenny met through work at the local bookstore, and they clearly don't get along at all. And, despite their many years in bookstores, they still feel compelled to read and write as much as humanly possible. Yes, they know, it's an incurable illness. E-mail them at email@example.com.
Growing up, I read. A lot. (In fact, I used to get in trouble for reading instead of doing homework.) Yes, I was that dorky kid in middle school who read during recess and whenever she thought the teacher wasn't looking. (Hint: your teacher is looking. They always know!)
As a so-called "grown up" I've managed to keep books a constant in my life through school, work, and an affinity for constantly adding to my personal library, much to my husband's dismay. I especially love to read juvie and YA books–it's something I never grew out of. Don't get me wrong: adult books are great. I often feel, though, that kids' books are more open to creativity, more fun, more liberating, and often more challenging to write successfully. (It also probably helps that I've decided never to grow up, but that's a different blog altogether.)
One day a few years ago I started working at a bookstore where I met Ruby. For some reason she decided I wasn't too obnoxious, and she befriended me, giving me an outlet for my passion and insatiable hobby. And lo, a blog was born!
My favorite kinds of books are strange, wacky, fun, and smart. I love it when a book treats kids with the intelligence and respect they deserve while keeping the plot strong and compelling. I'm always up to try new authors and books–send in your recommendations so we can read them, love them, and share them with others!
"Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read." ~ Groucho Marx
As a child, I didn't have an interest in books, much less reading. I remember reading the first and last chapters of The Witch of Blackbird Pond for a book report in the fourth grade. That's how much I disliked it.
I come from a family of writers, so words are in my blood, and my mom and aunt are copyeditors. When my family moved to the Pacific Northwest, I got a job after school as a library page. It was there that a children's librarian turned me into a bibliophile. I have been working with books ever since. From that point on, I read mostly books for adults and very few children's and young adult books. It wasn't until I began working at the bookstore, where I met Jenny, that I began reading mainly children's and young adult books.
When Ruby was a baby her mother made her a beautiful patchwork quilt to keep her safe and warm. Ruby called her quilt Besty, because it was her best friend. Come with Ruby on a magical adventure as Besty carries her far across the sea.
I will read almost anything, but I especially love historical fiction, paranormal romance, fantasy/adventure, and books featuring strong, kick-ass, independent female characters. But, as Jenny mentioned above, we love discovering new authors and getting recommendations from our readers. So please let us know what you think, and I hope we get the chance to share some really great books with you.

1eat | The City's Most Approachable Tasting MenuHearth
403 E 12th St., East Village (646) 602-1300 restauranthearth.comOwner Paul Grieco is an evangelical Riesling pusher all summer long, but not at the expense of his restaurant's top-flight seven course tasting menu, which oscillates between craft beer, wine, and occasionally high-end spirits with little regard for the old guard's fixation on white or red. Partially because of this flexibility, the tasting menu here is no hushed event: it's raucous and exciting and always straight-up satisfying. And it's just about the only tasting menu in the city that seems to acknowledge that seven consecutive pairings is going to knock you over, and that you shouldn't be ashamed of that.

After some lurking on this forum, I'm getting some idea on what to look for in quality sofas (8 way hand-tied, etc) but the price for this stuff is more than I'm willing to spend. SO, my question is... if you don't spring for the "good stuff", does it basically come down to what style you prefer and how cheaply you can get it? Is there any quality difference between bargain basement furniture that be found at stores like Costco and Ashley Furniture versus mid-range stores like Bassett or Raymour & Flanigan? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by bobsmyuncle (My Page) on Wed, Oct 12, 11 at 22:19
Cheap furniture is cheap at every turn, wherever a nickle can be squeezed. Low end sofas are going to have "engineered wood" (particleboard) frames, stapled together, thinner materials, cardboard panels, less resilient foam, and poorer fit and finish. I repair this stuff daily and sometimes just have to shake my head. Given the expected life-span, cheap furniture is not inexpensive. |
- Posted by toronado3800 (My Page) on Sat, Oct 15, 11 at 0:12
Esrade, the trick is to be able to visually identify signs of quality in what you are buying. Don't go paying Cadillac prices for a Mazda. |
- Posted by purpleinopp (My Page) on Thu, Nov 3, 11 at 16:50
If they can't tell you exactly how the furniture is made, go to another store. |
hi peeps. new to the forum world and just thought i would say hello |
New to this forum, but I thought I'd throw in my two cents, as a total bargain hunter. I like to redecorate. A LOT. With every change comes some new furniture. So I go the cheap route. In my experience, places like VC Furniture, have the bottom line prices, but also bottom line quality. If you bought something that was never going to be sat in, maybe - but with regular (not abusive) use from two people the last set we had, needed new cushions within about 7 months - they were flattened, and the upholstery appeared loose. Last sofa I bought from Ashley's was AWESOME. Great quality, beautiful, and super inexpensive, since I found it in their scratch and dent section - Not sure how it held up over the years though since I sold it about a year after. I am learning what everyone has told me all along - you get what you pay for... :) Happy shopping. |
- Posted by EliteFurniture (My Page) on Sat, Nov 5, 11 at 14:35
Normally with inexpensive upholstery you have no choice in the cushioning, such as down filled, spring down blend, etc. Inexpensive upholstery will have the cushions made of a foam material which will flatten. You can not regulate (fluff) this material once it flattens. Frames may not hold up as well. Fabrics may wear quicker. |

Before conquering the pop culture universe, our favorite stars were in fact toddlers, too, complete with dorky hats, matching outfits, and toothless grins. But can you identify your today's biggest celebs from just their baby pictures? We're putting you to the test.

LEXINGTON (AP) — A'dia Mathies is the Southeastern Conference's player of the year again, though the Kentucky senior guard shares this award with Tennessee's Meighan Simmons.
Mathies leads three Wildcats on the all-SEC teams announced Tuesday. The preseason pick to repeat as the conference's top player, the Louisville native averaged 16.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game this season and became Kentucky's No. 2 career scorer.
Forward DeNesha Stallworth (12.5 points, 6.0 rebounds) also made the first team in voting by the league's 14 coaches. Forward Samarie Walker (9.5 points, 8.6 rebounds, team-high 46 blocks) made the second team along with the league's All-Defensive team.
Seventh-ranked Kentucky (25-4, 13-3) is the No. 2 seed in the conference tournament and opens play Friday in Duluth, Ga.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Seepe, Alfred Hlabana URN etd-11292009-210310 Document Title Determination of chromic acid and sodium dichromate in a concentrated electrolytic solution with the aid of Artificial Neural Networks Degree MSc Department Chemistry Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof I Cukrowski Supervisor Keywords
- Artificial Neural Networks
- sodium dichromate
- chromic acid
- electrolytic process
Date 2009-09-02 Availability unrestricted Abstract The aim of this work is to quantify the concentration of chromic acid (CA) in a saturated solution of chromium trioxide and sodium dichromate using Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs).A set of titration curves was obtained by automated acid-base titration according to a factorial experimental design that was developed for this purpose. These titration curves were divided into three subsets, a learning, training and test set for use by ANNs. Once trained, ANNs have the ability to recognize, generalize and relate the input to a particular output. Concentration of chromic acid (CA), total chromium(VI) and/or dichromate was used as the outputs and titration curves as the inputs to ANNs. Our aim here was to establish whether ANNs would be able to predict the concentration of chromic acid with an absolute error below 1%. For real world problem, the neural networks are only given the inputs and are expected to produce reasonable outputs corresponding to that inputs without any prior 'knowledge' about theory involved – here, no interpretation of titration curves was performed by ANNs. The test set of data that was not used for learning process, was used to validate the performance of the neural networks, to verify whether the ANNs learned the input-output patterns properly and how well trained ANNs were able to predict the concentrations of chromic acid, dichromate and total chromium. A number of ANNs models have been considered by varying the number of neurons in the hidden layer and parameters related to the learning process. It has been shown that ANNs can predict the concentration of chromic acid with required accuracy. A number of factors that affect the performance of the neural networks, such as the number of points in a titration curve, number of test points and their distribution within the training set, has been investigated. This work demonstrates that ANNs can be used for online monitoring of an electrolytic industrial process to manufacture chromic acid.

Some of the SEO strategies you can implement yourself, and other techniques you are better off paying a professional to do the work for you. In this article, you might find the advice that you have been looking for to move ahead.
Research the amount of time each company has been in business. To make an educated choice, you need to be aware of all risks and potential downsides that may be involved.
Spiders cannot read session ids and dynamic language very well, so remember that when making URL names. This makes it harder for search engines to find your website, especially if keywords are not incorporated.
Product feeds are an excellent tool for boosting traffic, increasing your online presence, and expanding your customer base. Feeds can contain information about your business such as prices, descriptions and pictures. Make submissions to shopping comparison sites and all of the major search engines. It will also be possible for consumers to receive the feed directly, through a reader.
Be sure to put your keyword in your site's page title. Create an interesting and trendy title, because it will be the first glimpse of your website that users from search engines will get. In this manner, your website link will be followed because it fits the search the best.
Sometimes, it is suggested to use keywords in the comment tags on a website to increase search engine visibility. Instead, you should just focus on having good content.
Make sure your site is easy on the eyes. If you want your site to attain higher rankings, be sure it is completely functional, clear and easy to read, and has such functions like font changing capability. Make sure that both search engines and human readers can find what they're looking for.
You might want to try starting a podcast. Podcasts can include video or be audio-only, may be streamed live or pre-recorded, and should include information that your consumers are interested in. Taking advantage of the growing popularity of podcasts is as easy as grabbing a webcam or other video or audio recorder. Use descriptions of your podcast to help search engines recognize them.
A good way to get your site a better ranking through search engine optimization is to sign up with the BBB or the Chamber of Commerce. These organizations link to their member businesses, so you can get more local visitors. Also, if your business has a good Better Business Bureau rating, you will also get the added benefit of consumers trusting your website even more.
Search Engines
It's a bad idea to use one, isolated page to collect all of your links to other websites. Include them within your content, instead of allowing them to stand alone. Link pages typically do not compel a reader, and the search engines don't view them in a favorable light either. Be sure to keep your content aligned with your text in order to give search engines more professional content.
If appropriate, employ the services of a quality SEO company to optimize your website. This marketing plan will ensure that your site will be near the top of all relevant search results. Tons of companies offer great deals on these sorts of services.
Search Engine
Be patient when it comes to search engine optimization. It's human nature to look for immediate gratification for the hard work you put into something. It will take patience, work and time to generate traffic online. Even when things don't seem to be happening fast enough, it's important you stay on track. Over time, if you have dedication, you will see your site rise in the search engine rankings.
Search engines can be a powerful tool when it comes to driving internet traffic to your site. Making your site spider friendly will increase your search engine raking. Make sure you tag the images on your site, because spiders are only able to read text. Be sure to include keywords in the descriptions of your images.
Keep in mind that if you do anything to manipulate the rank of your site, search engines will manually suppress the visibility of your page on their results. In some cases, major search engines will ban your site outright. So be forewarned and do not cheat the search engines!
When you're all set to move towards a higher rank, don't forget these tips as you soldier on. Utilizing good SEO strategies can help your ranking increase rapidly. You can easily gather and apply the information you need to be successful.

Latest News
Fall is here and we are busy again, after a summer filled with family visits and winding up some major projects. Our photography hikes have resumed at Brooker Creek Preserve in Tarpon Springs, FL. We lead a photo hike the last Saturday of most months, check their website for details.
We are free-lance photographers located in Central Florida. As Florida Master Naturalists, and Certified Interpretive Guides (National Association of Interpretation) we started our business with nature photography. Our love of hiking, birding, and camping means nature photography continues to be a large part of our work, but we have expanded into travel, special occasion, and fine art photography.
We exhibit occasionally and sell our images at select retail locations. Our photography is also used in our nature and photography programs, and our photography and writing have been published both locally and nationally.
Please browse our site and our blogs listed below. If you want to contact us for more information, or to ask a question about photography, email us at

completed his professional photography certification and graduated from New York Institute of Photography on August 6. The structured course meant he had to explore areas of photography that did not interest him and he would likely have not explored on his own, and while they still do not interest him, he feels learned a lot applicable to other areas. After a year of giving this priority, he is ready to take on a new project.
spent the summer working with her "every day" camera rather than her usual wildlife rig with the 100-400 mm lens, and researching ideas for a creativity workshop for photographers. She is working on ideas for one blog merging the two or more that she had been writing for the past few years.

text: Hi everyone!:wave: I just ordered the diet supplement DecaSlim and was wondering if anyone has ever used it? I read alot of things about them on different sites and really found nothing bad about them. It sounds like it could help and even if it didn't cause me to lose a bunch of weight, then it would make my skin more healthy and give me some healthy doses of foods you couldn't pay me to eat, lol. Anyway, I just wondered if any of you on here have ever actually used it? :shrug:
