>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: pleasantly surprised by this race!In full: After reading all terrible reviews last year, I was in two minds as to if I should enter but I was pleasantly surprised.Good points-nice touch having your bib personalised-no shortage of marshalls!-the best runner support with fellow runners supporting one another during the race-great little boost when running through the town the man calling out runners name out-amazing medalCons-the organisers did not measure outro the router as it was only 12.9 as we were meant to go further in the Luton Hoo instead we were turned around at the drinks station-lack of signs to get to the stadium -over crowded registration and lack of toiletsDate of review: October 26, 2014
In short: Another great race - never disappoints!In full: This is my 4th year doing Henley and I cannot fault it - good value for money, good location, easy parking and a nice atmosphere.Quite a few people complained about the limited number of toilets, and I do agree however the instructions do say to arrive at 8.30am which I did, and given it took 15 mins to park, then 10 mins to walk, I was had still time to queue for the toilet, but then it was straight to the race so I guess if you got there any later, they yes you would have struggled to get to the loos.Marshalls very encouraging throughout, great support - and it remains my PB back in 2010 so I'll be definitely coming back next year!Date of review: October 12, 2014
In short: Certainly not a PB but lovely scenery makes up for the hard hills!In full: 1st time ever doing this run, it was a lot harder than i thought, countless hills but really nice scenery and such good value for money, it would seem like a shame to miss out!The only draw back is there weren't enough water stations (only 2) and I'm sure the mile markers were out by 1/4 mile but the full route was 10m. Definitely needed the arrows on the route as there were parts of the route, i had no one behind or in front of me so I was hoping that i was on the right route!Date of review: September 21, 2014
In short: Great support around most of the course, loved the town centre start and finishIn full: First time I've done this race, took me by surprise so much was on muddy paths/grass but i should have done more research as it's classed as a multi terrain raceLoved the start being in the town centre and great for supporters as they can nip down the shops or have a coffee whilst waiting. The only grip i have is there were no portaloos so i ended up using a pub toilet which was ok but i felt bad for the pub.Great little surprise in the goody bag - a insulated lunch bag which is a nice touch!Date of review: May 25, 2014
In short: Very well organised, shame no medal!In full: I really enjoyed this race, first time and I'll be back. Very well organised, lots of parking. Downside is no medal. I've done over 30 races so far and this is the first time I've not had a medal which is really oddDate of review: April 24, 2014
In short: Good race, so many supporters and good marshallingIn full: Overall, really good race, it was too hot for my liking but that's nothing to do with the organising.The only thing I'm puzzled with is the course on both on my garmin and endomondo showed 13.2m not 13.1m so even though it's not a big deal, the 100meters costs in terms on of 30 seconds or so, so really adds to your time.Pros:Very well marshalledSo many supporters and great how the course loops down the high street twice so you get double cheers which is greatGood valueCons:Course length wasn't quite 13.1ma bit of congestion at water station 2 - because it was a hot day, everyone was stopping for water and it got really congested, runners bumping into everyone and also waiting to get a cup of waterGreat finish in the park for friends and family waiting for their runnersDate of review: March 16, 2014
In short: such great value for moneyIn full: 2nd time i've done the race, overall it's a good race and very good value for money.Pros- very good value for money- started on time and lots of support from marshalls and locals- good bag and medal at end- no tie on laces chip but one which was on the race number- very nice lady at mile 11 giving out jelly babies to runners - nice touch!Cons- long queues for toilet - shower facilities weren't great but i guess at least it was available- missing some mile markers (unless i didn't see them)- water station signs weren't there for all water stations so before you knew it you were running into one so you had to quickly veer to the right to be on the right sideDate of review: October 14, 2012
In short: Great organised runIn full: Pros - really well organised, - marshalls were awesome, stood in the miserable weather cheering runners on.- small enough event so you don't spend ages to cross the start line- plenty of parking- lots of drinking stations (and sponges - but we didn't need these in the hideous weather!)- plenty of loosCons- lack of mile markers, unless it was me but I only starting seeing them at mile 5 onwards- T-shirts were being handed out quite far away from the finish line so I think a lot of people would have missed these- Loos were in a soggy field= wet feet and I'd not started the race!All in all a good raceDate of review: April 29, 2012
In short: Great run - but get ready for the hill!In full: I'd heard tons of great things about Henley but the hill was clearly a challenge! But I wasn't too phased when I got there, it was steep but do-able. I did a PB so very pleased.Get to Henley early enough to get good parking - not enough loos is something I noticed. Otherwise great race, the 4 little girls at the top of the hill gave me great motivation to start running again after stopping near the top! They were great!Nice goody bag too and medal.Date of review: October 12, 2010
In short: Not bad run, best thing was the early 9am startIn full: Nice little race, great early start which means you have the rest of Sunday to do other things!Minimal queues for anything which was nice and good marshalling throughout.Because it was so early on a Sunday morning, the drawback is not many supporters on route to cheer you on.There was a runner with a dog who tripped over his own dog and nearly fell over - so dangerous. Dogs should not be allowed in the races.Date of review: October 3, 2010

text: Travel, order, eat: 15 best dishes abroadBy Jareen Imam, CNNUpdated 5:51 AM ET, Fri April 12, 2013 15 photosCosta Rica – John Donnelly found his favorite dish in Costa Rica. He was at a Chinese restaurant called El Milenio. He describes the dish, pescado frito entero, as quite simple but delicious. The fish, with head and tail, are fried until everything is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. "It's a little bit of work to get the meat off the bone, but I think that's part of the fun," he said. Hide Caption 1 of 15 15 photosThailand – If you want to taste what the locals are eating in Bangkok, Thailand, Nicole Eisenschenk says to give the ice cream a try. A street cart in the back alley of Chulakorn University serves up robust combinations of ice cream flavors like Red Bull and vodka and lychee. But what makes this dish unique is that the scoops are served up in Thai hot pots. "In this case it's a 'cold pot,' which is traditionally used at Thai restaurants for soups like Tom Yom Gung," she said.Hide Caption 2 of 15 15 photosTonga – If you love the tropics, Natalie Montanaro says you need to try the Polynesian cuisine 'Ota 'ika. The dish is made with raw fish that is marinated in a lemon juice dressing for hours before it is coated with coconut milk. "After that you toss in chopped green, red and yellow peppers, a bit of onion and some shaved basil and serve it cold," she said. Hide Caption 3 of 15 15 photosPeru – Judith Fenson and her husband recently came back from their sixth trip to the Peruvian Amazon. While traveling through the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve, they decided to grab dinner at the Amazon Cafe in Iquitos. Fenson ordered patarashca de dorado con papas gratinadas: fish seasoned with aji paste, garlic, cilantro and other spices and then wrapped in a bijao leaf and steamed until tender.Hide Caption 4 of 15 15 photosChina – Philip Atkinson says he had one of the best Japanese dishes he's ever tasted in China. Tonkatsu is a boneless pork chop that is breaded in panko, deep-fried and served with a seasoned dipping sauce. He says this is his favorite travel dish because of the food and the service. "Preparing food for another person is a very connecting experience when you think about it. That other person is taking the very act of nourishing you," he said.Hide Caption 5 of 15 15 photosGalapagos Islands – While traveling through the Galapagos, Caroline Cheung found a makeshift eatery in front of a fishing pier. She stopped there for lunch because she wanted to try the local eats. "It was a whole fish that was previously marinated, then dipped in a batter and deep fried to crispy perfection," she said.Hide Caption 6 of 15 15 photosItaly – For Thanksgiving one year, Jeff O'Kelley and his son, Ian, traveled to Florence, Italy. It was there that Ian, a self-proclaimed chocolate connoisseur, tried one of his favorite cups of hot chocolate. They were at a little cafe called Rivoire, which O'Kelley said has been around since the late 1800s and is famously known for its chocolate. "It has become somewhat of a tourist trap, but the hot chocolate is well worth braving the crowds. It's so thick and rich that it coats your spoon," he said. Hide Caption 7 of 15 15 photosChile – While visiting her daughter in Valparaiso, Chile, Sharon Hahn knew she had to try the razor clams. The dish is served as an appetizer. The clams are broiled on the half shell and topped with garlic, breadcrumbs and butter. "You can get it all over Chile. It is a marisco, or shellfish, which is very popular in the country," she said.Hide Caption 8 of 15 15 photosMorocco – Gary Ashley says his favorite dish, known commonly as Marrakech chicken, is served widely in Morocco. The dish consists of chicken that is slow-cooked in a stew, flavored with whole green olives, preserved lemons and Moroccan spices, and served with couscous.Hide Caption 9 of 15 15 photosIndonesia – Steven Kusuma says he was blown away after trying a pork dish in Bali, Indonesia. The dish was made of a roast pork that was seasoned with local herbs. Babi Guling, or "rolling roast pork," is a traditional meal in Bali. "What makes the rolling roast pork is the way the pig is cooked. It is roasted on an open fire while being rolled continuously by the cook for hours," he said. Hide Caption 10 of 15 15 photosVietnam – If you are in Nha Trang, Vietnam, Thai Dang suggests trying a bowl of jellyfish noodles (yes, they're actually made of jellyfish!). She says the noodles are a specialty of that area and they are not the same noodles you would find in a soup dish like pho. "It's rounder and less chewy," she said. Hide Caption 11 of 15 15 photosNew Jersey – Cherie Capostagno and her husband, Vince, drive from Pennsylvania to New Jersey when they want to feast on seafood. Their favorite restaurant, Klein's, serves up tenderly cooked lobster meat and comforting sides of coleslaw and seafood salad. Hide Caption 12 of 15 15 photosPhilippines – Lia Ocampo says her favorite nostalgic and tasty treat is fried beef from Batanes, Philippines. She says the dish, served up on a bed of freshly cooked white rice with a fried egg, is delicious and filling. "A trip to Batanes is not complete if you don't have the chance to taste this," she said.Hide Caption 13 of 15 15 photosBrazil – George Kreif says his fondest food memory while traveling through Brazil was having Barreado at the restaurant Armazem Romanus in southern part of the country. Barreado is a traditional Sunday dinner favorite. One of the main courses consists of a beef dish that is slow cooked over low heat for 20 hours and served alongside rice, manioc, plantains and gravy. Hide Caption 14 of 15 15 photosUkraine – In Ukraine, Rabin Nuchtabek tried the buckwheat pancakes at a vegetarian restaurant and unexpectedly fell in love with them. The pancakes were stuffed with fresh vegetables and topped with vinegar and an avocado sauce. "I was amazed by how fresh and tasty it was," he said. Hide Caption 15 of 15Story highlightsAnthony Bourdain's new CNN show "Parts Unknown" inspires others to share dishes from their travels iReporters show how to fill your plate with tasty food finds from all four corners of the worldSome of the best travel dishes featured come from destinations like Vietnam, Peru and UkraineExpert says people photograph their food as a keepsake, especially when travelingPicture this scene: You're just digging into your restaurant meal, the wine is flowing and the ambiance is perfect -- and then, bam! Your dining companion swats away your hand, scolding you for touching the appetizer before she could take a photo.Sound familiar? The trend of photographing one's food, brought about in large part by apps like Instagram, can seem obnoxious on many levels. But Mark Hill, director of photography at Turner Broadcasting Systems Inc., says it's all about preserving memories. "Meals are special times for people ... the picture of the food is a representation of that moment," he said. "Food is very fleeting in our lives. It's on our plate and 20 minutes later it's gone and we have an empty dish."Those meals become even more special when they are being enjoyed while traveling. Looking back on a photo of a meal eaten overseas can conjure up the sights, sounds, scents and tastes of the trip. This spring, chef and author Anthony Bourdain will take his adventure-seeking appetite -- and CNN viewers -- along on a journey of cultures and cuisine from around the world on his new show, "Parts Unknown."Bourdain's tasty excursions may not be something we can all do for a living, but from the coastal piers of New Jersey to the mountainous terrains of Northern Africa, you've experienced amazing off-the-beaten-track meals, too. Here are some of your favorite food photos and the stories behind them.Getting the local fixings It was early January of this year when Caroline Cheung and her fiance decided to escape the grind of their Torrance, California, lives and head down to the Galapagos. While traveling through Tortuga Beach, they were greeted with sunshine, warm waters and the faint sound of salsa music playing in the background. The music caught Cheung's attention, but it was the incredible aroma of food that drew her closer. "We watched three ladies prepare and cook fresh fish in a makeshift kitchen with a portable stove and mini-fridge," she said. "It was not really a restaurant, but more like an outdoor public space by the pier with a few plastic tables and chairs, and many local people standing by, waiting for their turn to have a seat," she said. Intrigued, she decided to stand in line, where she learned the place offered one dish. "It was a whole fish that was previously marinated, then dipped in a batter and deep-fried to crispy perfection," she said. "It was served with pickled, spicy onions, fried plantains and rice." The makeshift restaurant Caroline Cheung visited on her trip.To her surprise, she says the fish, served on a simple Styrofoam plate, was one of the best dishes she tried during her trip. "It was such a simple dish, served without fanfare, yet a real delight." Eating with the city A low-key dinner can sometimes be the most appetizing; at least Gary Ashley thinks so.After days of hiking through the Grand Atlas Mountains, Ashley and his travel partner, John, decided to take a much-needed rest at their riad in Marrakech, Morocco. A riad is akin to a Western-style bed and breakfast.They could have gone to an upscale restaurant to celebrate their trip and John's birthday, but instead they decided to dine on the rooftop of their riad, which overlooks the city.They ordered the Marrakech chicken, which is widely served across the country. The dish consists of chicken slow-cooked as a stew in a tagine -- a traditional Moroccan cooking vessel -- and flavored with whole green olives, preserved lemons and Moroccan spices. It was served on a fluffy bed of couscous."It was exceptionally tender and moist and flaked from the bone. The spices were quintessentially Moroccan, and the preserved lemon is something not commonly used here in the West," he said. But it wasn't just the dish that he says was the best part of the meal. It was the ambiance of their dinner as well. "The Riad Siwan had a beautiful rooftop dining area from which we could see most of the city," he said.Gary Ashley dining from the rooftop of his riad in Morocco. "The sun was setting and evening calls to prayer were coming from the minarets of the nearby mosques. It was John's birthday and the food, the atmosphere were perfect. Photographs were in order."Crossing state lines for a tasty getaway For Pennsylvania resident Cherie Capostagno, there are no mountains to cross to find a delicious dish. In fact, her favorite food is just across state lines. The drive to Belmar, New Jersey, always brings feelings of nostalgia and hunger for her and her husband, Vince. They slip away from home -- and work -- to escape the occasional stresses that build up from their jobs. A few times a year, they make their way to the New Jersey coast to visit their favorite restaurant, Klein's, which she says is known for its delicious lobster dishes. But besides the tender lobster meat steaming fresh out of the shell, she says the seafood joint is simply inviting. "The restaurant has a fish market in the front and you can watch the guys shuck fresh oysters or you can buy fish at the market if you'd like," she said. If the market isn't your ideal setting, you can walk onto the restaurant's deck, overlooking Shark River Inlet. "We like to sit on the deck and watch the gates open to let the boats go through or watch people paddle-board by," she said. But it's the little gems that bring delight to their meals, like seeing swans, like Sammy, swim up to the restaurant. "Sammy the swan adopted the place as his home and the staff goes down to the dock to play with him," she said. "He swims right up to the tables and at first you aren't sure, but then you realize that Sammy is a regular."Finding a homemade meal in a new placeWhether it's trekking through the mainland of China or swimming in the waters of Tonga, traveling is a way of life for Natalie Montanaro, who works for the Peace Corps Reserve. So that means she is always trying new dishes.But the South Carolinian said her favorite dish is nothing luxurious. Instead, it's a fresh fish salad called 'Ota 'ika. 'Ota 'ika is a Polynesian dish made with raw fish that is marinated in lemon juice for several hours before it is smothered in a rich coconut milk and mixed with an array of veggies. Montanaro heard people raving about it while she worked as a teacher in Tongatapu, Tonga.This school event in Tonga is one of the many places to try 'Ota 'ika."At first I was skeptical since I'd never eaten any raw fish other than in sushi," she said. "But the seafood here is top rate and it's so fresh you almost want to eat it right out of the water."The tropical climate and fresh fish was enough of a reason for her to muster up her courage and give the Polynesian dish a try. "I was completely won over by the lovely taste and texture," she said. She adored the dish so much she even learned how to make it. "But it will never be the same without the local fish and coconuts along with the Tongan company and atmosphere, of course."More from travelThe coolest small towns in America are ...TSA finds dog in checked luggageChef Massimo Bottura: The alchemist who reinvented Italian cuisinePowered by Livefyre

Infant massage was first introduced in China in 2nd century BC. Massaging the newborn has been a tradition in India and other Asian countries since time immemorial. Various oil-based preparations have been used depending on the regional availability. There has been a recent surge in this ancient art particularly as a therapy among parents and professionals in the Western world. Evidence exists supporting the benefits of touch and massage therapy. We reviewed the literature to look at the various techniques of providing massage, its benefits, possible mechanism of action and adverse effects. The review suggests that massage has several positive effects in terms of weight gain, better sleep-wake pattern, enhanced neuromotor development, better emotional bonding, reduced rates of nosocomial infection and thereby, reduced mortality in the hospitalized patients. Many studies have described the technique and frequency of this procedure. Massage was found to be more useful when some kind of lubricant oil was used. Harmful effects like physical injury and increased risk of infection were encountered when performed inappropriately. The review also discusses the different hypotheses put forward regarding the mechanism of action. As of now there are very few studies describing the long term impact of neonatal massage.

How fans made 'Snakes' a sssssensation
Film has often been called a collaborative medium. But few movies are as collaborative as "Snakes on a Plane," with its self-explanatory premise that can only be described as "fangtastic."
With its patently ridiculous storyline about 500 deadly serpents terrorizing a commercial flight, "Snake on a Plane" – or "SoaP" as it's commonly abbreviated – has slithered into the consciousness of film fans over the past year. So much so that a Google search of the title generates more than 16 million hits and reveals home-made SoaP paraphenalia such as amateur music videos, paintings, board games, T-shirts, jewelry, and mock movie posters. (Example: "Hamlet 2: Snakes on a Dane.")
Significantly, the online community blossomed spontaneously – a giggly reaction to the movie's title. In response, New Line Cinema has embraced the unexpected attention by inviting musically gifted fans to compete for a slot on the soundtrack. More fundamentally, filmmakers have added more violence, more nudity, and even a line of profane dialogue by fan request. The studio's response to its online fans is unprecedented. If successful, 'Snakes' may inspire Hollywood to rethink how it tailors films for an intended audience.
Whether or not "SoaP" marks the beginning of a new era of moviemaking, one in which those paying to see the film have some sway over its outcome, depends solely on how much of a bite the film can take out of moviegoers' pockets. Until the box office figures are in, fans everywhere will have to be content hearing their rattle on the silver screen.
Robert Scoble, coauthor of "Naked Conversations: How Blogs are Changing the Way Businesses Talk with Customers," is optimistic that the studio's decision to reshoot five days of film in response to fan suggestions will pay off. "If people feel like they've added something to a movie, and the movie producers listened to them, we're going to be far more likely to take our friends to see that," he says.

Biographical Sketch of Nathaniel Parker Willis
Posted By Dennis On In Maine,New York | No Comments
Born in Portland, Maine, January 20, 1806, died at his country home, Idlewild, Cornwall-on-the-Hudson, January 20, 1867. His chief works are: Melanie, Lady Jane and other poems; Pencillings by the Way; Inklings of Adventure; Romance of Travel, comprising Tales of Five Lands; People I Have Met, or Pictures of Society and People of Mark; A Health Trip to the Tropics; Out of Doors at Idlewild; Paul Fane, or Parts of a life else Untold, a Novel. Edgar Allen Poe, in a review of the literary work of N. P. Willis said: "As a writer of `sketches' properly so called, Mr. Willis is unequaled. Sketches especially of society, are his forte, and they are so for no other reason than that they afford him the best opportunity of introducing the personal Willis or more distinctly because this species of composition is most susceptible of impression from his personal character."
Among his short poems, perhaps the most popular are "May" and "The Belfry Pigeon."

While many people think the Property Appraiser determines the amount of taxes each property owner pays, in reality the title "Property Appraiser" explains it all. The Property Appraiser and his staff are charged with placing a fair and just value on each individual property in Hillsborough County.
The role of setting the amount of taxes to be paid as a result of the appraised value of a property is that of the various taxing authorities, including the County Commission, School Board, local municipalities, Tampa Port Authority, Parks & Recreation and others. These bodies use our appraisals as a base for setting the millage rate. So, in a manner of speaking, your taxes could go up or down, not due to the appraised value but due to millage rates set by the taxing authorities. Your tax bill is computed by the total taxes required of all the authorities.
January 1
This is the date mandated for property assessment each year. Properties within the County are valued by the Property Appraiser's office as of this date each year. Residency and ownership must be established as of January 1 to qualify for Homestead and other Exemptions and Classifications.
January 1 through April 1
Tangible Personal Property tax returns are filed.
March 1
Filing deadline for all exemptions and agricultural classification.
April 1
Deadline for filing tangible personal property return without penalty.
July 1
The Property Appraiser's office submits the assessment rolls to the Florida Department of Revenue for review and approval.
You have 30 days from the date of mailing of the Exemption or Agricultural Classification denial notice to file a petition with the Value Adjustment Board (VAB).
TRIM Notices are mailed to all property owners. The Property Appraiser's office conducts a "Review Period" when additional resources are dedicated to providing taxpayers with an explanation and review of their assessment. Differences of opinion on value and any discrepancies should be discussed at this time. Owners have 25 days from the mailing of the TRIM notice to file a petition with the Value Adjustment Board.
Assessment rolls are certified for collection.
Tax bills are mailed by the Hillsborough County Tax Collector.

We don't just drop off spas in driveways like most local dealers and retailers do. We install your spa exactly where you want it and then we give you complete instructions on how to use it.
3. Not just local service, better service.
Your local Thermo Spas hot tub service and repair staff is not only punctual, professional and prepared with fully stocked vans, they're hot tub wizards too!

Hey have you ever wondered if loving fashion is a weakness?
Well, you just need to look at these spectacular photos of photographer Hans Silvester and the people of the Omo Valley to know that adorning and making ourselves beautiful is a part of the human race.
I posted these images in 2008 and still love them all these years later. German photographer Hans Silvester spent five years travelling to the Omo Valley to capture these amazing images and they are celebrated in his book Natural Fashion: Tribal decoration from Africa.
Better than some of the fashion on the runways of Paris, the people of the Omo Valley celebrate the beauty of their natural surroundings by adorning themselves with flowers and seed pods, paint and feathers, grass and branches in a way that would have Jean Paul Gaultier or Karl Lagerfeld running for their sketchpads.
So next time you are stuck for some amazing clothes and have no budget see what nature is offering.. You probably will be surprised!
Hans Silvester's other book C'etait Ailleurs still remains one of my favourite books on black and white photography in Europe. This is the guy that road a moped from Paris to Istanbul, what a world he captured on the way. Exquisite..
Makes you want to get on the road.
"There is nothing that makes its way more directly to the soul than beauty." Joseph Addisson

Exotic Animal Incidents
A breakdown of the injuries and deaths caused by exotic animals and caused by humans owning exotic animals.
There has to be private ownership of big cats, they're going extinct in the wild and there seems to be nothing we can do about it. Atleast having them in captivity shows people how majestic these creatures are and that they are worth saving. Atleast having some in captivity will give us a breeding population once they're extinct in the wild so we won't have another Tazmanian Tiger outcome. If we have them in captivity, whether or not they're pure Siberian or Bengal or Sumatrain etc., we will still have Tigers and that gives us a fighting chance. We can still breed them, and still at some point in the future teach them to hunt and survive in the wild. There needs to be private ownership, don't be so fast to go the extreme route of making it illegal. The United States is the only country with the money and resources to save the big cats, it's up to us. We have the richest land, we have the wealthiest people. All we need are stricter requirements like proper training, income, credit checks, property, enclosure inspections etc and these people should be able to own them. If you can have a human child without any training or certification or prerequisites, if you can own a gun and conceal carry with proper certifications then why can't you have a tiger or lion living in your fenced off backyard. These injuries and deaths are mostly upon the owners themselves and that's their choice and they accept it. People should have the freedom to take risks in this country. Are you going to tell others that they shouldn't climb mountains, surf, or skydive?
1,700 tigers left in India, 300 left in Russia, maybe 35,000 lions left in the entire world, these used to number in the hundreds of thousands not even a hundred years ago! These animals are going extinct, they are being slaughtered by humans for Chinese medicine and canned hunts and that's just the way things are.
The insanity has to stop. People buy exotics to feed their egos. When the cute babies mature, they are relegated to chain link enclosure or a basement where someone throws them food. They are deprived of their natural behaviors: running, roaming, hunting or foraging. Even people with the means grow bored: Michael Jackson abandoned the animals of Neverland. His two "pet" tigers were fortunate enough to land at Tippi Hedren's sanctuary. Neither he, nor his estate contributed a dime for their care.
My brother, a police officer, pulled over a car for speeding. In the back seat was a magnificent tiger cub. An animal lover, he asked the driver why she had the tiger. As a stripper, it was part of her act. When the cub is no longer cute she'll recoup her investment by selling it to a lodge for a canned hunt, who in turn will charge someone for the privilege of shooting to make it into a rug. My brother could do nothing, because anyone can buy an exotic animal in Texas. The precious life of a tiger-- bought and sold 3 times.
Please write to our law makers to stop the sale and ownership of exotics. We can give them nothing but a life of boredom and misery.
I have a fat pet puma rescue who cried for me when I finally made it home to him from the hospital after 3 months gone from him. once he started to cry, I started, then the wife, we all wept for a good 15-20 minutes. This wild cat shed pure tears of emotion for me, HOW? I've had cat's for 20yrs and this still blows my mind.
What terrible sad facts...are so many human so stupids and so egoïstics ?
Can man ever learn that to possess is not at all to love...love is to respect the freedom of the other, be it an animal or a human been.
What statistics aren't telling are the canned exotic animal hunts that continue to go on in Texas and some other states to the tune of millions of dollars. Senior zoo animals that zoos sell to game farms so they can make room for younger animals that game farms use for canned hunts. If you don't know what a canned hunt is, google it and be appalled.
I'm pretty sure animals in general are dangerous. Not just exotic. These statistics tell me that about 4 people die each year from exotic animal attacks. Compared to a domestic animal, lets say dogs, this number really is not that bad. I'm not suggesting that the lack of deaths turns this information into a "good" thing but, should be taken with a grain of salt. If you really think this is a valid statistic for why owning exotic animals is "bad", then you should also take in consideration ownership of all types of animals domestic or wild.
this horrible, don't you think people would have learned from this or by taking it out of the wild in the first place. Animals are wild they should stay wild and not to be tamed.
Burst into tears when it came to the part about that poor chained up circus elephant who was beaten with a BULLHOOK until she screamed. Sometimes I come across things like this when I'm doing my assignments and it seriously makes me consider whether I want to keep doing it; I just see more and more examples of the kind of abuse and torture some people put these animals through...
I agree with you, Craig. I feel like this article and these numbers are grossly unbalanced. I totally agree that wild animals are not for the average person. There are a lot of people out there that have no business owning a dog much less a wild animal. However, there are a lot of people that are suited for it, are responsible, willing and able. I say more power to them. Let's face it, the wild isn't getting any bigger. These animals numbers are not going to get better in the wild unless humans leave the planet, so at some point there won't be any wild for the animals to be in.
These statistics seem to be truly lacking and open ended. Itis widely known that statistics can be manipulated and misconstrued. Theopening statement itself is open to debate, what are the real numbers of tigersin captivity in the US?How many are in AZA zoos, in circuses, in licensed private zoos, as pets inhouseholds? What are the accurate numbers of tigers in the wild, even betweenconservation organizations these numbers vary widely.
From the very start these statistics are contorted to showownership of wild animals as a horrific travesty, while many of the incidentsspecifically mentioned are at large institutions, such as Sea World and otherAZA facilities. Some of these animal deaths are attributed to anesthesia orbeing euthanized by police after an incident with people and not caused by anywrongdoing from the owner. Where do these statistics come from, how accurateare the number of incidents, how comprehensive of a survey was done?
These statistics also fail to show the total numbers ofanimals in each of these categories that are owned. As an example, if therehave been 10,000 bears kept in captivity over the last 20 years then 4 human deathsdoesn't seem to be nearly as drastic a number. Without a reference of how manycaptive owned wild animals there are compared to how many have caused incidentsthen there is no scale to how problematic ownership of that type of animal is.
While these statistic here show incidents of wild animalskept in captivity, they don't show a true reference point for these numbers. 19 deaths to reptiles seems like a largenumber, but how many dangerous reptiles have been in captivity over the last 20years. In comparison how many injuries and deaths have been caused by "domesticated"animals. How many deaths and injuries can be attributed to horses orlarge breeds of dogs compared to the number that are in captivity. I can guarantyyou that more people are injured or killed by either of these domestic animalsin any given year than any of these wild animal categories.
The point of this comment is not to say that wild animalsare good pets, but to point out that statistics can be easily misconstrued.Question articles when you read them, what viewpoint are they pushing, whatinformation are they leaving out, how can they be misrepresenting information.All I can ask of people reading any inflammatory article is to take in the ALLof the facts from all sides before you decide your position. I do not think thatmost wild animals should be kept as pets, especially by untrainedindividuals, but facilities should not be lumped in the same box as householdpet owners. Individuals need to be treated just like that INDIVIDUALS. Anymoron with a horse, bull, or large dog could be as likely to be hurt, if notmore so, than an person owning a big cat or large constrictor.
What is the criteria for these statistics? One week? One month? According to the animal/police shows in Alaska, the moose does kill people every winter.
@Nepse Patricia please refer to my reply above to laura to understand the truth of private ownership and why it is needed.
@DuheVon Hill pls refer to my comment above in reply to laura to understand the truth of private ownership and why it is needed.
@Robyn Myers yes abuse does take place but very seldom, in the right homes, zoos circuses ect.. they are very well cared for and loved. pls look at my comment above in reply to laura post.
@Patty Kilgo Actually, there are hundreds of conservation projects going on worldwide. We can keep these animals alive, if it wasn't for the idiots that think a tiger or an elephant, for example, make good pets.
You are correct Craig, it would be helpful to have more data! How many exotic animals are kept in captivity, what species, etc., but unfortunately no one collects this data. Indeed eight states do not even require licensing or permits to own an exotic animal!
Furthermore, there are no requirements to report when an animal has attacked, escaped or died at licensed or non-licensed facilities, or in a private individual's backyard. So yes, this data only represents a tip of the iceberg. It is just a few of the worst or more sensational stories that actually make it into the news.
This data has been collected by Born Free USA since 1990 and is only a partial list because we can only track the incidents we hear about, usually through media reports and a few USDA inspection reports. This doesn't cover the potentially huge number of incidents in which someone is injured or a captive animal is harmed or killed but the incident does not make the news.
Sadly, one of the statistics we do know is that there are more tigers held in captivity than there are living freely in the wild. And that is something we hope will change for the better as a result of our sharing what we know about the tragic situations of keeping wild animals behind bars (both to the determent of the animals and people involved.).
Born Free USA promotes our viewpoint in our mission. We believe that people should work together to "Keep Wildlife in the Wild."
Now to your statement that these animals are board and unhappy living with humans, that again has been proven wrong... In the right home, zoo or sanctuary they physiologically flourish, live double their life spans, live healthier lives, have no fear of hunters, starvation, where to sleep ect...
Now for their "instincts" of how much land they need to roam. As studies have proven by many scientists and the AZA reports from many who study animals behavior in the wild and captivity as well as their brain and thinking process goes, heres some interesting stuff...
You see animals roam miles in the wild for reasons, in search of food, a place to sleep (as they constantly move for food and due to people, or to find mates.) Now in a captive setting, their food is given to them, their home is given to them and controlled without danger such as predators, humans hunting them, weather changes, mates are given to them, vet care ect..
Now with that being said these people who specialize in these fields and have done decades of research have found their "natural instinct" of roaming is no longer there, its not needed., as studies have found in the wild, there was a place in which was so many acres, yet a number of tigers lived in this small area for some time, never roaming miles, because they had all they needed there, yet when their supplies ran dry, they only then roamed miles in search of a new home and to hunt for food.
So you see, in a captive setting the small area does not effect them in the way some believe or these AR groups want you to think, even these AR groups are well aware of these factual studies and findings yet they chose not to disclose them to the media because, well that could hurt their agenda from pocketing your money.
I would like to add that I am a member of the USZA, SSA, UAPPEAL and have worked with and studied non human primates for 15 yrs. I am educated and knowledgeable in what I speak of, not making assumptions or having personal beliefs or feelings, I only state facts.
@Robyn Myers @Patty Kilgo actually, private ownership has proven to be a good thing. I have seen many private owners who have far better living conditions than sanctuaries, yet even private owners are licensed and regulated just the same as zoos and sanctuaries. We have the same regs, requirements and laws to follow, a sanctuary vs a responsible homes is no difference in the US where it is regulated. Please read my comment above in reply to lauras post.
I agree with Craig that the data is not sufficient to make real comparisons. Also I have read posts elsewhere in which make the point that more people are killed or injured by dogs and other domestic animals. That is a comparison of two very different populations and you cannot calculate risk by simply looking at the raw numbers because there are many more domestic animals in the environment and people come into close contact with them much more often. You cannot calculate risk that way. A better way to do it is to break down the number of incidents per animal in the environment and from that calculate a comparative risk (i.e. what percent lesser or greater is the risk of being injured by a pet lion as opposed to a pet dog)
Unfortunately there isn't enough data to really get those numbers.

MATLAB Builder NE |
The components created by the builder run against the MATLAB Compiler Runtime (MCR), the full set of libraries that supports all features of the MATLAB language and most related toolboxes. The MCR is provided with MATLAB Compiler. To run your .NET and COM components, you must distribute the MCR with them. Components created with MATLAB Builder NE and the MCR can be deployed royalty-free.
For Web applications, the builder generates WebFigures that enable in-browser zoom, pan, and rotation of MATLAB figures.
You use MATLAB — a high-level matrix-optimized language with built-in math, graphics, and data analysis functions — to prototype, develop, and test your applications. MATLAB Builder NE works with MATLAB Compiler to package MATLAB code as a standard .NET or COM component. Code is encrypted to protect your intellectual property. You can integrate the component with existing .NET or COM components for desktop or web deployment. You can also modify the original code in MATLAB and then rebuild and redeploy the component.
With MATLAB Builder NE you can:
After instantiating an object from a MATLAB based component, you can access the object methods from your application just as you access the methods of any other .NET or COM class. The .NET and COM data types passed to MATLAB functions are automatically converted to MATLAB data types. You can directly pass .NET objects to and from the MATLAB based component. The builder also provides data conversion classes to manually convert data and manage output data, as well as a .NET type-safe interface to convert MATLAB data types to and from .NET native data types.
You can integrate a MATLAB based component into an existing .NET or COM application by installing the component and the MCR on the target computer. For server applications, end users can access the application without installing MATLAB or the MCR on their individual computers.
With builder support for the .NET Remoting API, you can run your class as a persistent service or execute your component across multiple processes. You can integrate a MATLAB based .NET component with a service-oriented Web application using the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) API.
Your components and the MCR can be distributed royalty-free.

Readers at the intersection of these two groups are going to have to think long and hard about watching the below video, which includes a particularly clever dig at Sony's competition but also potentially spoils an inconsequential scene in MGS4 (rest assured, there are absolutely no story details revealed in the clip). This is a tough, intensely personal decision, and we wouldn't presume to judge you either way. Just look into your heart and ask yourself what feels right. The answer will come.

Swann's Last Song
From the critics
Community Activity
Add a CommentHenry Swann is just an ordinary skip tracer in New York, sometimes paid in food stamps; that is, when he is paid at all. Then SHE walked in. Beautiful, poised Sally Janus hired Swann to locate her missing husband. It seemed like a simple enough case, but Harry Janus was involved in something sinister, big enough that someone decided he'd be better off dead.
Tracking down Harry's killer turns out to be a lot more complex than Swann anticipated. A dangerous web of deception, lies, multiple identities, drugs and antiquities dealing propels Swann to Mexico, where creatures that walk, fly, crawl and slither threaten to do Swann in at every turn. Swann barely escapes with his life and hurries to Berlin, as the noose of danger continues to tighten around his throat.
Thrilling and action packed, Swann's Last Song is an excellent read! SIX STARS, if not a halfpenny more.

FTP and NcFTP
FTP and NcFTP are both FTP clients for the command line. While FTP only has basic file transfer functionality, NcFTP has a whole bunch of additional features.
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a suite of Internet protocols that helps users transfer data between two computers. One computer serves as the FTP client, and the other machine is the server.
Most FTP servers provide anonymous services, in which you can enter anonymous or ftp as your login name and not provide a password, although it is considered a friendly gesture to enter your own email address. Other servers, run by webspace providers, for example, prompt you to enter your username and your password for the purpose of authentication. Be aware that, in contrast to secure protocols (such as Secure Shell SSH), a protocol such as FTP transmits usernames, passwords, and other data across the network in clear text, and FTP is thus unsuitable for exchanging confidential information.

CCEA Decision
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) today approved the following proposal of Department of Telecommunications regarding continuation of reservation quota for M/s. ITI Limited:
(i) To continue the reservation quota at 30% of the requirement of BSNL/MTNL for ITTI for products manufactured by it as well as on turn key projects (like GSM network roll-out).
(ii) ITI would accept orders under reservation quota only after the price is known and further if the same is commercially viable.
(iii) BSNL/MTNL will give 70% advance against the orders placed on ITI so that ITI does not face the problem of working capital for the execution of the orders subject to adequate safeguards for proper utilization of these advances.
(iv) The aforesaid policy measures shall remain in force for a period of one year w.e.f. 21.09.2009 and shall again be reviewed considering the financial health of ITI and advantages derived in revival package as decided by CCEA in its meeting dated 23.02.3009.
M/s. ITI Ltd., Bangalore, a Public Sector Undertaking under Ministry of Communication & IT, Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has incurred accumulated loss of Rs.3219 crore as on 31.03.2009.
The financial position of M/s. ITI is very bad. CCEA, in its meeting held on 28.01.2009 also directed DoT to bring up a comprehensive proposal for financial restructuring of M/s. ITI Limited. Accordingly, a revival package for ITI Limited is under consideration of the Department of Telecom.
In order to enable ITI to survive in the competitive environment of telecom manufacturing, BSNL and MTNL have been extending reservation benefit of 30% alongwith 70% advance to ITI Ltd. The validity of reservation benefit extended to ITI expired on 20.09.2009.
Implementations Strategy and Targets:
BSNL and MTNL will be requested to extend the benefit of reservation quota to ITI Limited for a period of one year w.e.f. 21.09.2009.
Major Impact
The extension of the benefit of 30% reservation quota with 70% advance from BSNL and MTNL will ensure enough orders for ITI for the production activities.
Details and Progress of Scheme if already running
CCEA in its meeting held on 20.09.2006 had extended the benefit of 70% reservation quota for ITI for a period of three years which has since expired on 20.09.2009.

More calls to poison control centers over ecigarettes
UPDATED 5:20 PM CDT Apr 08, 2014Adults and children are being overcome by the liquids used in the ecigs.
Video TranscriptAs electronic cigarettes increase in popularity.. the Centers for Disease Control has a new -- and somewhat ominous warning about the e-cigarette liquids that contain concentrated nicotine. KCCI's Steffani Nolte has the story. Kevin, some adults and children are being poisoned by the liquid in e-cigarettes from ingestion, inhalation ... even contact with the skin. Great Alternatives owner Kelley Page says feels better after switching to ecigs from a pack of cigarettes a day. 04:10:17 For years when I went to sleep at night I could not take a full breath into my lungs. I did not think twice about it because I was a heavy smoker. That's what comes along with smoking. He warns his customers ... E-cigs can be poisonous if they aren't used properly. 04:11:03 Do not ingest or allow nicotine to soak into the skin. Dr. Doug Layton says e- cigs don't have the benefits every one thinks. He says they're so dangerous children can die from eating amounts of the e-liquid as small as a tablespoon. 3:51:20 the big thing is it's a stimulant. They're going to be a little wired, kids are going to be irritable, have palpitations, they may get sweats if the dosing is high enough. To make matters worse ... Dr. Layton says kids are attracted to the bright colors and fruit flavors. 3:50:05 They also don't really have much safety packaging. They don't have a child proof package, they're very easily accessible and people tend to leave them out they don't think of them as a danger. In 2010, Poison Control Centers nationwide received just one call about poisoning involving e- cigs. In February of this year, they received 215... And more than half were children under five. 04:13:15 As far as kids getting into the e- liquid. I think its comparable to chewable vitamins. I think this is the same way you keep it out of reach you don't let your kids get into it. Page did show me ... the bottles of e- liquid he sells have child proof caps... But he says they still need to be kept out of children's reach like any other items that can be poisonous. Thanks, Steffani.

One of the hardest things about writing a commentary is trying to figure out what you should do: What should be covered? How should it be covered? How do you deal with the secondary literature? After reflecting on this conundrum Hauerwas writes, ". . . finally I realized I simply had to write what I thought should be said in and for our time. Accordingly I have tried not to write about Matthew. I have tried to write with Matthew, assuming the gospel was written for us" (18).
Those who read commentaries regularly as part of their sermon preparation should be warned: Though there are countless expository gems in this volume, it does not move verse by verse through the text of Matthew. It may well be difficult to use this commentary to pad out one's homily. Indeed, Hauerwas hopes that readers will treat his commentary more like a novel. Although clearly not a novel, the best way to read this work is to begin at the beginning and read sequentially, allowing Hauerwas' telling of the story that Matthew tells to unfold much the way the plot of a novel unfolds. Of course, this does not and should not hold in every instance. For example, Hauerwas quite rightly brings the end of the story, the resurrection, to bear on his treatment of Jesus' temptation in Matthew 4. "The resurrection is not, therefore, an event that renders Jesus' faithfulness unnecessary; rather it is a confirmation of his obedience to the Father's love manifest in his refusal to accept the devil's offer of power" (54).
Those familiar with Hauerwas' work will find him engaging some familiar conversation partners: Augustine, Aquinas, Barth, Bonhoeffer and Yoder. Further, as one might expect when Hauerwas meets St. Matthew, peaceableness, the importance of the Church as a community of character and witness and the significance of discipleship are all themes that come to the fore. Always at the heart of these concerns is Jesus, God with us. Indeed, just as Matthew does, Hauerwas will not let us forget that all of Jesus' teaching in Matthew is inextricably bound up with and depends upon his identity as the Christ, as Emmanuel.
Appropriately, Jesus' identity as the Christ receives its clearest specification in the crucifixion and resurrection. At the cross we see "the sheer unimaginable differentness – of God . . . God's power is to be found exemplified in this captive under the sentence of death" (240). Concerning the resurrection and its connection to all Jesus' identity and teaching, Hauerwas writes, "The resurrection, of course, is not a 'knockdown sign' that establishes that Jesus is the Son of God . . . The truth that is Jesus is a truth that requires discipleship, for it is only by being transformed by what he has taught and by what he has done that we can come to know the way the world is" (247).
The greatest surprise for those familiar with Hauerwas' work is how deeply and patiently he has engaged Matthew's gospel. Yes, there are verses that do not receive attention. Nevertheless, for 250 pages the reader cannot get away from Matthew. As promised, this is Matthew in and for our time. The great danger in any type of commentary is that the author's voice, or the voices of accumulated scholars, drowns out the voice of the text in question. This does not happen here. In fact, rather than getting Hauerwas' Matthew, this volume gives us Matthew's Hauerwas. In offering this to us, Hauerwas provides an extensive and compelling example of how the voice of the gospel can shape, and even become, our own voice.

ARMOUR, Scene #01
Scene Info
ARMOUR, Scene #01
Gagged, cuffed, collared and chained, Dolan Wolf is helpless, bound to a 4-post dungeon bed as leather-clad Wilfried Knight zeroes in on him. Wilfried treats Dolan like prey with intense eye contact, verbal taunting and lots of rough manhandling. Pulling out a key, Wilfried makes a deal with Dolan offering his release, but first he makes Dolan promise to give him �everything� he wants. Dolan hastily agrees with an eager and hungry nod. One by one, Wilfried releases Dolan from his bonds, taking what he wants before demanding Dolan to present himself down on his knees before him. Wilfried makes Dolan polish his boots with his tongue, barking his commands as Dolan readily obeys every order. �Show me that hole,� Wilfried demands as Dolan bends over spreading his furry ass for a deep probe. �Yes Sir, Thank you Sir,� Dolan says as Wilfried dominates over him. Wilfried gets rough as he mercilessly rams his large, uncut meat down Dolan's throat, forcing him to gag down every inch of it. Ordering Dolan to get back on the bed, Wilfried takes what he wants - With his tongue and fingers Wilfried pries that beefy, jock-strapped ass wide open, preparing his hole for a punishment to come. �Thank You Sir,� Dolan moans as Wilfried drives his cock in deeper. With Dolan on his back Wilfried plows his eager hole like a true top master, drilling hard and fast, with angry thrusts that leave Dolan begging for more. Wilfried fucks hard and gives his bottom plenty of orders so that the action is just as he likes it � strong and steady. And when he has taken everything that he wants, Wilfried jacks off his load directly into Dolan's open mouth. As Dolan takes his feeding he strokes a hefty load, spilling his thick cum as he nurses on Wilfried's throbbing cock.

The first movie under John Rutherford's direction at COLT studio, after purchasing the studio in 2003, was
RELOAD. Making a hardcore COLT Movie of this quality certainly required some dexterity. The production
had its challenges due to the underwater sex sequence involving Marcus Iron and Rob Romoni. Rutherford
wanted to push the boundaries with the ways viewers got to look at COLT Men by staging innovative shots
of underwater penetration. Award-winning videographer, Todd Montgomery, used an underwater camera
to capture the scenes up close far before anyone else in the industry was doing it at the time. The scenes
were seen up close and the performers were very excited to try something new. The COLT Movie
RELOAD and its underwater scene will be one to remember.
The mood on the COLT Movie set was overall very positive, as each of the guys knew they were making
history and helping to take COLT Studio in a great new direction for the new owners. Of course, having
the opportunity to participate in so much man-on-man action, with a group of muscular men, was also an
incentive to do great work on the set.

Episode Information
The Ramsey Canyon Preserve in the Huachuca Mountains of Arizona is famous for the clouds of hummingbirds that swarm around its feeders in late summer. But the rare and spectacular Elegant Trogon is also found here. A native of Mexico and Central America, it breeds in the United States only in a few of Arizona's southern canyons. Pairs of trogons set up housekeeping each summer in Ramsey and other canyons. They are surprisingly inconspicuous, as they perch quietly. They nest in natural cavities or old woodpecker nests, mostly in the beautiful white-barked sycamore trees that line the canyons.
