We invite you to join veteran Trip Leader Roger Williams on an epic overland journey through the trans-Caucasus—a fascinating region of ancient traditions and rich cultures dating back thousands of years. Our discovery begins in Armenia, whose landscape is dotted with stone-carved monasteries and frescoed churches perched in dramatic locations, then moves to the mountainous and rarely visited republic of Karabagh, once an ancient province of Armenia and now an independent nation. Crossing the border into the Republic of Georgia, we visit its charming riverside capital, Tbilisi, explore the rugged, green foothills of the Caucasus, sample the wines of Kakheti, then head to the city of Batumi, with its 19th century architecture along the shores of the Black Sea. Our adventure concludes in exotic Azerbaijan, where we savor its Central Asian atmosphere, rugged mountain scenery, and utter lack of outside visitors.

Days 1-4
Yerevan, Armenia
Set in the beautiful Ararat Valley and surrounded by rolling hills, Yerevan, Armenia's capital, is a vibrant blend of commerce and culture and one of the oldest cities in the world, with a history dating to the 8th century BC. Our explorations here include the Matenadaran, an ancient repository that holds one of the world's richest collections of illuminated books, manuscripts, and historical documents, the World Heritage Sites of 4th century Geghard Monastery and Echmiadzin Cathedral, and the remains of ancient temples and early Bronze Age settlements.
Days 5-6
Sisian / Goris
We head to Khor Virap Monastery, a pilgrimage site set on a plateau facing Mt. Ararat, snow-capped symbol of Armenia and the biblical resting place of Noah's Ark. After visiting cliff-perched Noravank, a 13th century church that's a pearl of Armenian medieval architecture, we explore a crater lake on Mt. Tsghuk featuring impressive petroglyphs inscribed on the rocks around the lakeshore and Tatev Monastery, once home to 1,000 monks.
Days 7-9
Crossing into the green rolling hills of Karabagh, we visit Shushi, an ancient walled town set in the Karabagh mountains, and Dadivank, a sprawling monastery set in a forested gorge whose interiors are richly decorated with frescoes. Heading southeast, we visit 7,500-year-old Karahunj, the Armenian equivalent of Stonehenge, and the mountain town of Jermuk, set amid waterfalls, lakes, alpine meadows, canyons, and the sparkling Arpa River.
Days 10-12
Lake Sevan
A day's drive brings us to turquoise-hued Lake Sevan, where we explore Sevan Monastery, the alpine retreat of Dilijan, and Debet Canyon, with its two World Heritage listed monasteries.
Days 13-14
Tbilisi, Georgia / Kazbegi
We explore Tbilisi, with its domed churches and tree-lined boulevards, and Mtskheta, the ancient capital of Georgia that boasts an 11th century cathedral and Eastern Orthodox churches including the 6th century Jvari Church. Continuing north, we cross Jvari Pass and descend to Kazbegi, set below snow-capped Mt. Kazbek (16,558').
Days 15-18
Sno Valley / Kutaisi / Batumi / Tblisi
We head deeper into the mountains, where we discover spectacular isolated valleys and villages that retain their ancient way of life. Leaving the Caucasus Mountains, we explore a first millennium BC cave town that was one of the main stops along the Silk Route, and the Gelati Monastery near Kutaisi. After a visit to Batumi, a popular seaside resort, we return to Tblisi.
Days 19-24
Kakheti / Baku, Azerbaijan
We visit the ancient site of Davit Gareja and its 19 limestone cave monasteries, then head to Kakheti, Georgia's wine country. We cross the border into Azerbaijan, where we explore the traditional mountain village of Lahic, famous for its coppersmiths and carpet weavers. We end our travels in Baku, the ancient yet cosmopolitan Azeri capital. After touring Baku's Old Town and its ancient walled city and the Stone Age petroglyphs in nearby Qobustan, we depart on flights home.

What the Trip is Like
The trip is rated Level 2, Easy to Moderate, according to our trip rating system. While this trip is not expected to be physically demanding, there are long travel days due to road conditions and a lot of time spent exploring sites on foot (although this is not a hiking trip). Overland travel is in minivans and small buses, depending upon the size of the group. Road conditions can be very basic, and trip members should be prepared for narrow mountain roads and some bumpy drives due to remote locations. Accommodations in the main cites are 4-star hotels and are very good. In the countryside, we stay in special hotels in Sheki and Tzapatagh. The rest of the countryside hotels will be basic but clean. Sometimes there will be shared bathrooms rather than private bathrooms. The most important requirement for this journey is a spirit of adventure. For your own enjoyment, we recommend you make a special effort to be in good physical condition for the trip.

It is estimated that at least 40% of your domestic electricity bill is for electric water heating. So why choose Gas and not Solar or Heat pumps?
Well simply put, Solar and Heat pumps require that the weather plays along. If it is cold or over cast then these products don't work well.A Solar geyser requires the sun to heat up the water. During a sunny day this is fine, but on overcast days it wont heat up the water. If you use a lot of hot water at night there will be less or no hot water in the morning unless you have a backup of some sort, either electric or gas.
A Heat Pump uses the outside temperature to heat the water up in a tank. If the outside temperature is very low, the unit won't heat up the water to the required temperature. Another factor that must be taken into consideration, is how long a Heat Pump takes to heat up a tank of 200lt. The longer it takes the more electricity you use and the more frustrated you get waiting for hot water.
Gas does have a running cost that is linked to the oil price. The price of Gas is how ever regulated, this is the only negative aspect of using gas. In saying so, the running cost is still much lower than an electric geyser. The positive aspect is that as long as you have Gas, you have all the hot water you need, day or night, hot or cold weather. The initial installation cost is also lower than that of Solar or Heat Pumps.
The ultimate solution would be a Solar system with a Gas backup, the only problem is the initial cost outlay.
Why a Gas Geyser?
With the rising costs of
electricity and conventional methods of heating, a gas geyser can save you money
month on month. With a gas water heater, you are not paying for your geyser to
be kept hot all the time, as this gas geyser system works with a pulse igniter
that ignites the instant you open your hot water tap. Similarly the second you
close the hot water tap your gas water heater stops. This is the most efficient
method of hot water systems.

Verona Two-Shelf Bookshelf
Good quality and easy to put together.
I am a petite woman, and I put two together in abuot an hour. They were better looking than I anticipated. The wood is a rich brown color that blended well with other wood furniture in my living room.

Beautiful Bookcase - Great Value!
I am always reluctant to purchase furniture online, however this bookcase arrived and was relatively easy to assemble. After around one hour, I had a very sturdy, lovely looking bookcase to use. It looks great in my living area, and has a nice warm colour.
November 16, 2011
Great shelf!
Needed a new place to put my flat screen tv in the guest room. The shelving unit is a nice size. The flat screen 39 inch tv fit on the top shelf nicely. and lots of room on the two lower cases for DVD's and/or books.
November 10, 2011
hard to find better at this cost
I'd been looking for a bookshelf/side table to fit a space in our living room (and in our budget) for over a year. I found myself disappointed with the quality of similarly-priced items at other stores and had no luck finding something suitable used. I saw this in the B&M store and it looked like a sturdy solid shelf and the price was right so decided to give it a try. I was really impressed with the overall quality and how easy it was to put together. I was very pleased with how nice it looked in our home. The color is perfect- dark enough it fits in with our dark brown leather furniture, but warm enough it looks nice with the honey oak hardwood. I like that the middle shelf is adjustable; I was able to set it up to accomodate some square woven storage baskets I alread had. I don't have it totally loaded up with books, and I'm not sure how well the middle shelf (which rests on pins so it is adjustable) will hold up to really heavy items but it seems sturdy enough and looks great. My search is over and I'm very happy!
October 9, 2011
Love this Bookcase
I use one in my office for my books, printer,and phone. And my daughter uses the other in her room for her flat screen 20" t.v., dvd player, radio etc. The shelves look great. They save space and have no problem holding what we need.
August 2, 2011
Looks great
I have the Verona table, chairs, buffet and now this one. Easy to put together and looks better than the one in the store. Great buy.
July 27, 2011
Great addition to the living room!
I bought this with the matching six shelf bookcase. I use it as a TV stand and it looks perfect. Nice and sleek and adds that extra touch to my living room. It was super-quick and easy to put together. You can't really go wrong when all the reviews so far are 5 stars!
July 26, 2011
Affordable, QUALITY piece!
I bought this for my husband's office and then I took it for a hall table. I love it so much that we bought the tall one for his office so I can keep the short one!! These pieces are comparable to what we buy at high end furniture stores. You gotta love that!!

I am hoping someone can give me an insight on these engine works. I was talking to a local performance shop about getting more HP out of my 1500MS. I had the big three done already. the shop suggested the big bore kit , but I said that would reduce my range, it is short enough as it is and it is more than what I want to spend at this time. They suggested shaving the head to increase the compression to around 10.5:1, and polish the port to get better air flow. They said I should get 10% more HP and probably better gas mileage after the work is done. BTW , he said something about tunning or adjusting the cam to a more exacting degrees too. It was beyond my comprehension.
Anyone can tell me the pros and cons of his suggestions? Thank you in advance for the education.

The "Cosmogonic" Form of Genesis 1
In both form and content, then, Genesis 1 reveals that its basic purposes are religious and theological, not scientific or historical.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
In both form and content, then, Genesis 1 reveals that its basic purposes are religious and theological, not scientific or historical.
We need safe places in which to raise the complex issues of submitting wholeheartedly to the authority of God's Word in the Scriptures while wrestling with the important findings and perspectives in the natural sciences.
I've always thought of the sense of smell as a more intimate sense than most other senses. For in smelling, the thing that we smell becomes almost a part of us.
From 2012: The dictionaries I checked don't define the term, "theistic evolution," so I offer my own definition: the belief that God used the process of evolution to create living things, including humans.
From the archives: With From the Dust, it was our goal to help Christians see the complexity of the issues raised by modern science, as well as help them to courageously engage with the theological conversations happening within the sphere of Christian culture today.
While reading about and studying the processes that gave rise to this astonishing world, please don't forget that it is beautiful. It is not merely mechanics, but poetry.
Collection of the best articles of the past several weeks on science (and faith) from around the web.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
When we sit down to read sacred Scripture, we need to develop a rapport with the Bible's various authors and their worldviews. Otherwise, we will unintentionally demand they communicate in the same manner we do.
Read about the death of Wolfhart Pannenberg, still debating creation and evolution, and a really big dinosaur discovery.
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
But what I heard on Sundays did not seem to fit with what I experienced of the world the rest of the week. Growing up in New Mexico in the cottonwood bosque of the Rio Grande valley provided everything for a kid to become a biologist. I roamed along the river, cooked over cottonwood fires, ate wild asparagus, watched clouds form thunderheads over the distant peaks of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
Musician Michael Gungor talks about the recent controversy over the evolution of his views on evolution, science, and biblical authority.
The purpose of Jesus's art was to give verbal, visual, and dramatic forms to those complicated and confounding relationships, symmetries, and harmonies between himself, the father and spirit, and between the triune God and the world… Such creative expressions did not and do not make everything clear, but rather resist simple clarity, forcing their hearers to come at the whole complicated truth from a position of intellectual and spiritual humility.
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
For Augustine, the literal sense of scripture is not a scientific narrative of physical reality, but a liturgical and poetic narrative of God's awesome power at the dawn of history. This is a vital thread in the story of how to read Genesis.
This week in origins news, a great collection of articles by key players in the conversation about theology and science, a surprising science fair discovery, and the Apollo 11 anniversary!
Everyone is so worried about success and getting this or that honorable diploma—the people here are smart and understand many complex things perfectly—but it's a long distance from the head to the heart.

To collect details of proposed private airport project
Advocate commission appointed by the Kerala High Court S. Subhash Chand visited Aranmula on Friday to collect details of the proposed private airport project there, which has invited opposition from the public as well as environmentalists.
The High Court had appointed the Advocate Commission on the basis of a report submitted by Devaswom Ombudsman R.Bhaskaran that the height of the temple mast could not be reduced to facilitate construction of the airport as the flag mast was installed as per Tantric rules.
There were reports that KITCO, which prepared the pre-feasibility report for KGS Aranmula Airport Limited, had suggested reducing the height of the temple mast.
KITCO Joint General Manager Dominic Chacko had informed the Ombudsman that it had never made any such suggestion in the project report. Mr. Chacko alleged that page 34 of the report prepared by KITCO was altered without its consent or knowledge.
Mr. Chand visited the Aranmula temple and the Aranmula Puncha (paddy land and wetland) that had been identified as the site for the proposed international airport.
As many as 36 persons representing the Sree Parthasarathy Temple Advisory Committee, Aranmula Heritage Village Action Council, Pallimukkatu Devi Temple, Ponnumthottom Devi Temple, Kannangotu Madhom, Aringottukavu, Moorthitta Maha Ganapathi Temple, People's Action Council, representatives of hill protection committees, temple Tantri, master temple architect etc. submitted their statements before the commission.
All of them reportedly expressed their opposition to the airport project.
The Tantri said he would inform the commission on the height of the temple mast at the earliest.
Cancel nod: DYFIMeanwhile, the State secretariat of the DYFI has called upon the Union government to cancel the clearance given to the airport in the light of disclosures that the State government had suppressed information regarding reclamation of paddy land for the project when referring it for MoEF clearance.
In a statement here on Friday, the DYFI secretariat said the disclosures clearly pointed to corruption involving crores of rupees and foul play by the Chief Minister and the Industries Minister to favour the promoters of the airport project.
The State government should order a comprehensive inquiry into the misrepresentation of facts and both the Central and State governments should immediately withdraw all support for the project, the DYFI leadership said.

I am too embarassed to go to the doctor. I have really black skin on my butt. This is weird because the rest of my body is a lighter skin color- dark brown. My butt has these white as well as black slightly raised lines - appear to look like stretch marks. I cant wear nathing suits or mine shorts because it continues to upper thigh as well as my lower back. Please help!
Omg I have the exact same problem
August 7, 2014 - 11:56pmhi there...
i just found out two years ago that i have that irritating unwanted dark spots on my butt, both ends.
can you give good me an advice how to get rid off of it.
That i don't need to spend more money just to reach the fair skintone.
Best Regards and more power of course!
Thanks a lot
Guyz. I know we should accept that gad made us like that. But the thing is that god made us all beautiful but todays life made us like that. I am in the same situation and my color is fair yellowish. But having dark butt and knees and elbow is seriously a problem so will suggest you to follow some therapies and bio oil.
And please some one tell me where i can get bio oil or 3% hydroqinone?
i have those dots under my butt they are like a punch of dots all together but they are the same colour as my skin and i don't understand what are those stuff and how can i remove them. My mum said scrubbing them will make them worse.
what do you think those dots are?
January 8, 2013 - 1:56pmhi i read your entire blog..u need colon cleanser therapy regularly and keep your intestine clean.you will see good result.
August 11, 2012 - 4:47pmi have the same...stretch marks and pigmentation...but is there any cream or ointment that can be used...
April 3, 2012 - 8:33ami read the comments and noticed one thing. Everyone ignored the point 'slightly raised white and black lines' is this something that is not common? Because i have the same problem :( if by raised she mea
ns slightly raised from the surface of the rest of the skin.
I read linda's comment and i guess she is right that it is the way god created us, but the point is that i did not have these problems when i was a child. And secondly, apart from showing off our bodies, we want our body to look good for our own sake,to feel good. I dont wear revealing cloths but i still understand how big such problems can be for you. Besides, it is good to take care of yourself :) but dont worry think of those lines and blackness as if they are disappearing slowly over time, leaving back a flawless beautiful skin and you'll see after some time they'll be gone :)
January 14, 2012 - 2:05pmHi Anon
These raised white and black lines are likely stretch marks, something we (as perfectly formed children!) don't have! Stretch marks are actually scars that we get from weight gain/loss or rapid growth as kids and teens. Their color varies from silver/white to red to dark, sometimes depending on the color of a persons skin.
January 17, 2012 - 10:26amHi I would like to add to the aforementioned information and suggest a remedy used by Sudanese brown colored people. The continuous use of papaya products such as, soaps ,cleanser, creams or lotions will significantly improve the tone of the lower body skin color and even it's discoloration. You may consider a high quality organic product that contains papaya enzymes, along with the use of a mild aloevera jell gel and essential oils; to speed up the process. Please consult with an aesthetician to have a persistent check up, and note that generally,those patches will fade away with in few months.
love yourself ....Because you are beautiful just the way you are :)

Live exports must end immediately
PUBLISHED: 27 Sep 2012 00:07:54 | UPDATED: 27 Sep 2012 00:07:54PUBLISHED: 27 Sep 2012 PRINT EDITION: 27 Sep 2012Jason Baker
I have been travelling around Australia and have been amazed by how many people are concerned about the plight of whales.
While this is understandable, it is astounding that in the meantime, millions of Australian sheep and cows are left to suffer in the Middle East with full government support.
Tens of thousands of sheep shipped from Australia to slaughter in the Middle East were recently left stranded aboard their vessels – struggling to survive in the suffocating heat – after being turned away by officials in Bahrain and Kuwait. One ship remained in the waters off Bahrain for almost two weeks following a journey which had already taken more than a month before the animals were offloaded in Pakistan, where the sheep are being "culled" (that's a nice way of saying killed without stunning) because they have been found to have salmonella and actinomyces bacteria and now possibly even anthrax.
Then you have discarded farmed cows exported and dying in large numbers due to neglect. More than 30,000 Australian cattle are now being held in limbo in Egypt (half have been stranded for more than six weeks) due to a disagreement over the use of hormones.
If similar atrocities had happened to even one whale, the entire country would be outraged. Every year, millions of discarded sheep endure what can only be described as hell at sea. What else can you honestly call cramming terrified sheep onto open-decked ships for a gruelling journey across thousands of kilometres?
These are not the first cases in which sheep and cows have been nightmarishly stranded – and unless live exports end, they won't be the last.
Perhaps the outcry isn't as strong because Australians have become desensitised to this suffering since it happens so frequently.

bioTheranostics' Breast Cancer IndexSM Molecular Test Identifies Risk for Early and Late Breast Cancer Recurrence, Lancet Oncology Study Finds
Women at low risk for late recurrence can avoid unnecessary treatment; those at high risk can consider further therapy
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE…Sept. 12, 2013…SAN DIEGO…, A study published online in The Lancet Oncology found that in a comparison of three methods of predicting the risk of recurrence of estrogen-receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer, only the Breast Cancer IndexSM (BCI) from bioTheranostics predicts risk for both early (0-5 years) and late (5-10 years) recurrence. The study provides important new information to guide patient treatment decisions at diagnosis and after several years of therapy.
According to the researchers, this is the first published study to compare the ability of biomarkers to predict early and late disease recurrence in a large trial of women with ER-positive breast cancer. The study compared the predictive ability of the new BCI molecular test with two existing breast cancer assays—a 21-gene recurrence score (Oncotype DX) and an immunohistochemical (IHC4) test.
Dr. Dennis C. Sgroi, director of breast pathology at Massachusetts General Hospital and lead investigator on the study, said BCI identified 61 percent of patients in this study as having a low risk of late recurrence, indicating they may not need continued therapy. The test also identified 39 percent of patients as having a high risk of late recurrence, indicating they should be considered for extended therapy.
"This information generated by BCI could be extremely valuable and have fundamental relevance to breast cancer oncologists and patients, especially those who are at five years post-diagnosis," Dr. Sgroi said. "This is highly relevant to clinical management as it has been demonstrated in previous studies that late disease recurrence is a hallmark of ER-positive breast cancer, with more than half of recurrences occurring after five years of adjuvant therapy."
Richard Ding, president and CEO of bioTheranostics, said the study is a defining moment in the evolution of breast cancer management and firmly establishes the BCI as a vital molecular tool. "Earlier-generation biomarker tests predict only risk of early recurrence, despite the fact that half of women with ER-positive breast cancer relapse after five years of treatment," Ding said. "The BCI addresses this problem for the first time, opening a new chapter of personalized care for breast cancer patients. In combination with a previous study demonstrating BCI's ability to predict which patients are most likely to benefit from extended therapy, BCI allows physicians and breast cancer patients to make better-informed decisions about treatment."
The prospective comparison study was conducted by researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital, Queen Mary University and Royal Marsden Hospital in London, the University of Otago in New Zealand, and bioTheranostics. They looked at tumor samples from 665 post-menopausal women with ER-positive breast cancer enrolled in the Arimidex, Tamoxifen, Alone or in Combination (ATAC) clinical trial. The samples had previously been tested by the 21-gene recurrence score and IHC4. BCI analysis was conducted, and researchers assessed the ability of the BCI to predict 10-year risk of recurrence, comparing it to the 21-gene recurrence scores and IHC4. They also tested the ability of the assays specifically to predict early and late distant recurrence beyond standard clinicopathological variables.
Findings show that all assays had significant ability to predict early distant recurrence, but only BCI predicted late distant recurrence. For late recurrence, only 3.5 percent of women in the low-risk group based on BCI results experience recurrence of their breast cancer, compared with 15.4 percent in the high-risk group.

Food Network Kitchens' Top 15 Ingredients for a Healthy Kitchen
by Leah Brickley in Healthy Tips, October 17, 2012
Planning ahead is key for healthy cooking. Keep your kitchen stocked with simple, inexpensive ingredients and weeknight cooking will be much easier (and more fun!). Here's what the experts in Food Network Kitchens have in their kitchens:
1. Eggs: Whip up a quick omelet, poach eggs in tomato sauce or hard-boil a few for quick snacks throughout the week.
2. Parmesan cheese: Invest in a microplane zester and grate Parmesan into salads and soups just to name a couple. Remember a little goes a long way. We also love to throw pieces of the cheese rind into simmering soups for a flavor boost.
3. Low-fat plain Greek yogurt: Perfect on its own as a snack with fresh berries or the base for a healthy creamy dressing.
4. Real maple syrup: Keep stored in the fridge, add a quick drizzle when you're craving a little sweetness in things like your oatmeal or coffee.
5. Pickles: Think beyond just dill cucumber pickles. We love pickled green beans, beets, cauliflower and okra. These are great to have on hand for a quick, low-calorie snack or on the side for dinner.
6. Oils: Extra-virgin olive oil for vinaigrette and drizzling and grapeseed oil for cooking. Both are heart healthy, grapeseed oil has a higher smoking point and the flavor is less fruity and strong, making it a better choice for sauteing.
7. Vinegars: Red wine and balsamic vinegars will cover you for salad dressings and the less acidic rice wine vinegar is great for stir-frys.
8. Hot sauces: Have fun with this! Keep a variety on hand and add a few dashes into soups on sandwiches and eggs.
9. Canned beans: Keep a few different kinds of canned beans in your pantry; drain and rinse and bulk up soups or mix with rice.
10. Whole nutmeg: Use a microplane zester to finely grate over yogurt, cottage cheese and fresh fruit. It adds a touch of something special.
11. Roasted sunflower seeds: Toss into salads from some extra crunch.
12. Citrus: Think of citrus as a two-for-one. The zest can be used in marinades and the juice can be drizzled over cooked vegetables.
13. Salad Greens: The pre-washed blends are great to quickly throw together a salad.
14. Pre-cut vegetables: Look to see if you're grocery store has these available in the produce section. They're wonderful to have on hand to steam, stir fry or microwave. You can also buy veggies whole and portion them into your own personal blends.
15. Frozen brown rice: Some grocery stores now stock this but it's easy to do yourself. Cook off a large pot (we love short-grain brown rice) cool completely and freeze in re-sealable bags. Thaw as needed.

Sirius XM Seeks Renters, But Who Cares
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- There's never a dull moment in SIRI-land. Shares of Sirius XM (SIRI - Get Report) jumped more than 3% Wednesday on news that the satellite radio provider will offer subscription trials to customers that rent vehicles from Avis Budget (CAR).
If you recall, since Liberty Media (LMCA) announced that it was no longer interested in buying the remaining portions of Sirius it doesn't already own, Sirius stock has been in a perpetual decline despite bullish notes from three analysts who have issued price targets on Sirius stock of $4 or more. The stock closed Wednesday at $3.34; shares are down 4.2% year to date.
Investors are jumping for joy, applauding the new Avis Budget relationship. Details of the deal suggest that Sirius' programming will be made available to Avis Car Rental and Budget Car Rental fleets. All told, this will expose potential Sirius subscribers to roughly 60% of Avis Budget vehicles across the country now.
Rick Munarriz of The Motley Fool calls this a "big win for Sirius XM." But is it? I fail to see what the big deal is. The agreement says Sirius will be made available as a premium add-on, which means customers will have to pay to listen. I don't see how it helps consumers who don't already know about Sirius gain exposure to the service.
Customers who want the service have to shell out an extra $6.99 for the first day of the rental and $3.99 every day after that. This fee is on top of what they must pay daily for the car. What's more, while the deal does suggest that Sirius is looking for increased exposure, it's not entirely new. Sirius has had car rental deals for years, including its existing relationship with Hertz (HTZ). As with Avis Budget, Hertz also has a $6.99 charge for the premium add-on. The only difference is that the Hertz deal stays at $6.99 through the term of the rental. The price does not drop on the second day. Nor is it capped at $19.99 if the vehicle is rented for a week's period. And let's assume Sirius does gain subscribers from the rental business; doesn't change the fact that Sirius' main revenue sourced remains tethered to the car. Until Sirius figures out another revenue stream outside of the auto, this stock is going to remain under pressure. Apple (AAPL), which recently unveiled its CarPlay system, has gotten into the driver's seat and has already struck deals with several car manufacturers to control the dashboard. This is the first sign that hints at Apple's ambitions for the connected car. And we know Google (GOOG) can't be far behind. These moves, along with competing services from Pandora (P), the market leader in radio listening, is forcing Sirius' hand.I don't think this deal with Avis Budget is going to cut it. And that the stock has risen because of it suggest how the key drivers of this company continue to be ignored. At the time of publication, the author was long AAPL.

Down by the river
Jay I'm glad you think it is so safe, but you still have to watch your back. Have a great first day at your classes. Love Mom. PS we gave the book to Grandma so it would get read.
Down By The River
Trip Start
May 09, 2007
Trip End
Jul 03, 2007
So my adventure continued today, I'm trying to do as much travel now as possible before it gets unbearably hot. We're heading into the off-season here, most of the rich people start leaving because its so ridiculously hot. I took the bus down to the downtown today. The bus is quite an experience in itself, me and about 50 Indians fresh out of work all packed into a bus like sardines. Another interesting thing about the bus systems is that 12 of the seats in the front are solely for woman. I found this out the first time I got on the bus, when I was sitting in the front and the driver was yelling at all of the men to go to the back. Oddly enough, he let me stay in the front, most likely because I was the only white person (it kind of makes you realize why the whole segregation thing went on for so long, you can really get used to it). The bus took forever because of some late rush hr traffic, but I finally got there around 8pm. I stumbled into this incredibly nice souq (outdoor market), it was like a recreation of what it would have been like hundreds of years ago. Here there is very little "real" Middle East, most of it is manufactured to entice the tourists. Then I rode the abra (a small wooden boat that carries about 20 people) over to the other side of the river. It was a ton of fun and I got some great pics, and ended up riding for free because he just forgot to ask me for the money (it only would have cost like 10cents). On the other side is the famed Gold Souq, where you can find some of the cheapest prices for gold in the world. The entire area is just a ridiculous amounts of twisting road and alleys, all packed with people shopping or trying to sell you stuff. And the Gold Souq itself was amazing, I have never seen so much jewerly and other expensive items. This entire area is so large I actually got lost, and you know me, I never get lost. I finally made my way back to the abra station and took the bus home. Classes start tomorrow and I hope my alarm goes off in the morning, because missing my first day would definitely not give a good impression.
Now I would like to take a moment to address the safety issues of this area. There are none, I'm not sugar coating this in anyway, this place is easily safer then Toms River. To add to that, there are security guards everywhere, its hard to explain, but because there is such an influx of foreign workers here they give them the most bs jobs. Theres usually 5 security guards at any given area, a guy whos job is to scrub that section of floor and only that section, guys who pack your bags, and basically every other odd job you can think of. Furthermore, the foreigners here are so desperate to work and happy to be given these opportunities that they dare not risk the penalties that come with the crime. The best example I can give is my roommate has been in the same dorm for 4 yrs, and he never locks the door, its hard getting used to but its just the way things are here. This place is basically a rich persons playground and they try and keep it that way, because the know the second something bad happens here, there goes there wealth, and most of the people think this way as well.
Hey Jay - what classes are you taking over there? So exciting - all you kids doing all this traveling and learning! Glad you feel safe there!
Your Travel Blog is traveling!!
Hi Jay (aka Jason),
Your mom sent me your travel blog to pass on to Kathleen, Joe and Brad and now my husband (John-grandpa) and I have been reading every word and find the detailed information fascinating. I have since passed it on to Joe and Brad's Uncle Michael and he has become a reader as well. Could you provide more detail on 'Mr. Clinton's money'- is it a fellowship established during his term? Love, Maureen

Clow, Angela and Theodorou, Andreas and Jenner, Peter and Marsden, C.D. (1980) Changes in rat striatal dopamine turnover and receptor activity during one years neuroleptic administration. European Journal of Pharmacology, 63 (2-3). pp. 135-144. ISSN 0014-2999

Administration of trifluoperazine (2.5–3.5 mg/kg/day p.o.) or thioridazine (30–40 mg/kg/day) for up to 1 year initially increased homovanillic acid and 3,5-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid cocentrations in striatum. However, by 1 month and thereafter metabolite levels returned to control values. Dopmaine concentrations were elevated after 3 months administrations of both drugs and also after 12 months administration of trifluoperazine Trifluoperzine administration for 1 month produced a marked increase in the dissociation constant (KD) for striatal 3H-spiperone binding but a reduction in receptor numbers. Thereafter receptor numbers increased at 6 and 12 months in both trifluoperazine and thioridazine treated animals compared to control values. The KD for both drug treated groups returned to normal at 6 months; however, by 12 months drug treated animals again demonstrated high KD values. Dopamine stimulation of striatal adenylate cyclase was inhiited after administration of trifluoperazine or thioridazine for 1 week or 1 month. However, by 6 and 12 months this effect was replaced by an enhanced stimulation. Administration of lower doses of trifluoperzine (0.7–0.9 mg/kg/day p.o.) or thioridazine (6–9 mg/kg/day p.o.) for up to 1 year produced similar although generally less marked changes in these biochemical indices of dopamine function. This study provides evidence of biochemical changes which parallel the behavioural findings of enhanced dopamine receptor activity that occur during continuous long-term neuroleptic administration to rodents.

The KDVS Is My Life House has been throwing parties and occasional shows since November of 2004. However, its name or personality did not fully materialize until Brendan Boyle, Steven Valentino and Melissa Kenney (three KDVS core-staffers) moved in with Andy on September 1st 2005. Since then, there have been several dance parties, shows and the like. However, the house is most known as a dance party house. Excellent relations with tolerant and considerate neighbors, some of which attend have resulted in a lack of police awareness of events. Having harassed the house twice (one year apart), the KDVS Is My Life house has yet to receive a citation. In fact, their parties are known for going strong with the KDVS Mobile DJ Unit past 3 a.m. and having eclectic, danceable, LOUD music and even disco balls, strobe lights, lasers and a fog machine. A few police have parked across the street from the house, though, and have threatened noise violations as of late (2006).

When she was eight years old, Judy discovered, or decided, she was a writer and the written word shaped her life from that time forward. After more than 25 years in a variety of commercial writing-related jobs (newspapers, radio, television, public relations, advertising, marketing), she chucked everything except her notebooks, booked an around-the-world airline ticket and took off in search of a new Muse.
But like Dorothy, the yellow brick road that went all the way around the world led her right back to her own back yard where, in 1993, she co-founded The Writing Center, a nonprofit literary arts organization, which had a glorious, albeit brief five-year life as the center of San Diego's (California) literary community.
Out of the ashes of The Writing Center came her first book, A Writer's Book of Days, A Spirited Companion & Lively Muse for the Writing Life (New World Library, 1999), which was based on her popular lunchtime writing session at The Writing Center, the Brown Bag Writing Group. Over the years, hundreds of writers have written on hundreds of original topics during these sessions and others like them. The book was chosen as a Featured Alternate by Quality Paperback Book Club and Writer's Digest Book Club. Writer's Digest magazine named it one of five "Hottest Writing Books." A 10th Anniversary Revised Edition featuring an introduction by Janet Fitch, was released in the Fall, 2010.
Her second book, Writing Alone, Writing Together, (New World Library, 2002), evolved from her experience as the creator and teacher of a variety of creative writing classes and workshops, and leader of dozens of writing groups.
A Creative Writer's Kit, a gift package based on A Writer's Book of Days, was released in the fall of 2003. And, in 2005, The Writer's Retreat Kit, which features twenty innovative retreats for creative writers beautifully presented in a 176-page guidebook and a deck of twenty-five cards.
Love took Judy to Barcelona for a few years in the early-2000s, but a longing for home brought her back to San Diego, where she co-founded a second nonprofit literary center, San Diego Writers, Ink. She served as Executive Director from 2005 – 2010.
Other publication credits include a three-year stint as a feature columnist for Personal Journaling magazine. She edited a number of publications and chapbooks during her time at The Writing Center and served as editorial director for three anthologies published by San Diego Writers, Ink. Her work has appeared in the San Diego Reader and other publications, including the San Diego Writers, Ink anthology, A Year in Ink, Vol. 1, and her poetry has been published in several journals. The Fritz Theater in San Diego produced two of her plays, which she wrote with a women's writing ensemble. The first, "Women of the Violet Wynn," was based on a colorful bit of history of San Diego's Quong Building, which was, many years before it served as home to The Writing Center, a brothel.
Teaching is as much a love and way of life as writing and Judy continues to teach at University of California, San Diego Extension, San Diego Writers, Ink and other venues, and holds private workshops and writing retreats. She also leads workshops and speaks at writing conferences internationally and is a regular at the Southern California Writers' Conference, where she is especially known for her lively late-night read and critique sessions.
Awards and honors include San Diego Writer's Monthly magazine's "Woman of the Year;" the 2001 Odin Award for Community Service from the San Diego Writers and Editors Guild; recognition for Service to the Community of Artists, Children and Patrons from the African American Writers & Artists, Inc. Mayor Jerry Sanders proclaimed July 24, 2010 "Judy Reeves Day" in San Diego.

Keep up to date with the latest news and updates from Mary Free Bed.
A prosthesis, or an artificial limb, is a fabricated substitute for a missing body part that helps with function and appearance.
Most amputees are ready for a prosthesis prescription 4-8 weeks after amputation, but it may be longer depending on your medical condition.
If you aren't at risk for healing difficulties, you can try walking on a post-operation prosthesis very soon after your surgery. Carefully analyze with your doctor, the benefits and risks of using these devices before trying them.
It's important to follow your rehab team's recommendations to preparing your limb for prosthetic use. You need to manage swelling, maintain proper positioning, improve flexibility and strength with prescribed exercises, and prepare your limb for pressure tolerance. You'll receive instructions from your physical or occupational therapist soon after your surgery.
A typical prosthetics fitting at Mary Free Bed involves creating a plaster or computer impression of your residual limb, followed by check-up fittings with test sockets, and final fittings with the prosthesis you'll take home.
A check socket, or test socket, is a temporary socket, often a transparent material, made over a plaster model to ensure your socket fits you properly. A successful test socket is re-made into your lighter weight socket.
The fitting process averages 2-6 weeks, depending on your fitting needs. It frequently takes more than one attempt before you achieve the proper fit, especially if the limb shape changes significantly as post-surgical swelling reduces.
In lower-limb amputations, your prosthetist adjusts the alignment position of your prosthetic socket in relation to your hip, foot, and knee to give the greatest balance and comfort.
Upper-limb prosthetics are adjusted for ideal function, such as degree and force of opening or closing the terminal device. The terminal device is the piece on the end of the limb that has the functional motion for manipulating objects. It can have opening and closing ability, and can have the appearance of a hand or a hook. Terminal devices are available for specific activities such as operating tools or catching a ball.
Your terminal device may be externally powered or body powered. Externally powered means the power to control your terminal device comes from a battery built into the prosthesis. Movement in your externally-powered prosthesis is initiated from sensors that sense muscles contracting. A body-powered prosthesis is an upper-limb prosthesis that uses shoulder movements to produce motion in your terminal device.
Every prosthesis and its components are selected specifically for you. There are hundreds of foot, knee, arm, and hand socket designs and suspension systems available. Advancements in improving the energy, safety, comfort, and ease of using a prosthesis are happening all the time. Mary Free Bed prosthetists are trained on the newest technologies, and are able to provide them to you, based on a physician's prescription.
Dr. Bruinsma and the team at the Mary Free Bed Amputee Clinic are educated on the newest prosthetic devices. Your Mary Free Bed rehab experts will develop a prosthetic prescription for you, provide you with your prosthetic device, train you to use your prosthesis, and create a cosmetic appearance for your prosthesis.
A cosmetic cover is the outer covering of a prosthesis, usually made of foam covered with nylon or rubber-like material. This makes your prosthetic limb appear similar to your original limb.
Initially, therapy focuses on preparing you for prosthetic use, which includes gaining strength and range of motion, desensitizing the limb, and developing good soft tissue mobility.
After the prosthesis is received, you may need therapy 2-3 times a week. The average number of weeks in therapy for a below-knee amputation or upper-limb amputation is 6 weeks. Therapy duration for an above-knee amputation is generally 12 weeks.
Your therapy includes practicing daily home exercises and safe practice of skills in a therapy setting and in home-like settings. Your first home program may only involve practice putting the prosthesis on and taking it off.
Therapy progresses to daily living and mobility activities, and includes getting up and down from chairs, the toilet, a car, and the floor. Walking training involves learning to walk on level surfaces as well as ramps, curbs, and steps. Other mobility activities include managing heavy doors, carrying objects, and stepping over objects. You may also receive training for specific needs such as returning to work, sports, and leisure activities.
Upper-limb amputees become independent with activities of daily living using a combination of prosthetic and adaptive equipment. Adaptive equipment are devices designed to assist you in your daily life. Examples of devices are steering knobs for driving or a reacher to grab things in low or high places.
By the end of therapy, most amputees with lower-limb amputation are discharged with independence in basic household and community ambulatory skills using an assistive device, such as a cane or walker. Some are able to develop the ability to walk without a cane or walker. After 6-12 months of practicing, you can return for therapy for higher-level skills training, such as walking without an assistive device or running.
Mary Free Bed's Drivers Rehabilitation Program has specialized therapists who are experts in the adaptive technology and training needed to help you return to safe and independent driving.
After you're cleared to wear your prosthesis outside of your prothetist's office, you'll receive a specific prosthesis wearing schedule. Your schedule encourages an increase in wearing time over a 4-6 week period until everyday use is achieved.
As the swelling in the limb reduces, and you develop an ability to perform more demanding activities with the prosthesis, your prosthesis will need to be modified. You may need frequent adjustments for up to a year after the initial fitting to achieve the proper final fit.
The ability to walk well on a prosthesis depends on many factors, the level of amputation being one of the most important. In general, the longer your residual limb, the better chance your gait or walking pattern will be restored to near normal.
Most people who have an amputation of just a toe or forefoot walk virtually normal and have no need for a prosthesis.
A below-knee amputation gives you the best chance of remaining mobile and walking well post-surgery.
If you're an above-knee amputee, proficiency in walking is more challenging. New microprocessor-controlled knees and better socket design, available from Mary Free Bed Prosthetics, have made this goal far more achievable than it was in the past.
How easy it is for you to walk depends on a number of other factors. If you were able to walk normally before your amputation and don't have other illnesses such as heart disease, breathing difficulties, major diabetic problems, or obesity, it's more likely that you'll walk after your amputation. It usually takes 6-12 months for full rehabilitation potential to be reached.
With the treatment and therapy provided through Mary Free Bed's Amputee Clinic, even those with multiple medical conditions can achieve functional ambulation.
If you're wondering whether or not you can wait for awhile after surgery to decide if you want to use a prosthesis, the use-it-or-lose-it phenomenon tends to apply. Osteoporosis, weakness, and loss of range of motion can occur in a limb that isn't being used regularly. Many people learn to manage their lives without the limb, and become quite proficient.
Deciding later to trial a prosthesis can be frustrating, as it requires you to slow down and concentrate on developing proficiency with a prosthesis. You need to be committed to working toward proficiency, whether it's walking with a prosthesis or skilled use of an upper limb prosthesis.

Avon and Somerset Chief Constable Colin Port to step down
A chief constable is to step down after refusing to re-apply for his own job.
Colin Port announced he would not seek the renewal of his contract with Avon and Somerset Police, a day after Sue Mountstevens was sworn in as police and crime commissioner (PCC).
It comes as around England and Wales many PCCs have been sworn in on the day the police authorities are replaced by the new role.
Other commissioners have already begun to make changes to their forces.
In a statement, Mr Port said Ms Mountstevens had told him she intended to "start the process to recruit a chief constable" to take the force "forward".
He said: "I told her I had no intention of applying for my job."
'Great job'Deputy Chief Constable Rob Beckley will take over as acting chief constable when Mr Port leaves. He will also cover the role during the recruitment process.
Ms Mountstevens, who won the election to be the region's first PCC, was the only independent candidate to stand in Avon and Somerset.
She said as Mr Port only had nine weeks left to run on his contract, she wanted the job to go out to a "competitive process" as soon as possible.
"I asked him to apply and he said he wouldn't apply for his job and that he would think whether he would resign or not.
"I would not to be able to renew his contract for long - it would have only been for a year - and I want a chief constable that can work for the foreseeable future for Avon and Somerset.
"Colin Port has done a great job - it's just that we are not going to be able to work long enough together with him just being on a one-year contract."
She said she wished him the very best for the future.
'Terrifically proud'In his statement, Mr Port confirmed he would be retiring from the police service on 26 January 2013 at the end of his fixed-term appointment.
"I am terrifically proud to have led Avon and Somerset Constabulary, whose men and women have delivered so much in partnership with the police authority," he said.
Colin Port's decision brings into focus the potential for conflict between the new police and crime commissioners and traditional chief constables.
One of the first action's of Sue Mountstevens, the newly elected PCC, was to tell Colin Port she was opening up his position for tender. She made it clear she had no option because his current contract runs out in the New Year-and she could only give him a year's extension.
In what is described as being something of a confrontation, Mr Port said he would not be applying and was considering resignation.
Overnight he sent an e-mail out to staff and phoned the local paper to say he was quitting the force.
The old police authorities - who did have the power to hire and fire chief constables - rarely exercised their right.
But the new structure at the top of policing has prompted widespread resignations and retirements of senior officers either unwilling or unable to work with the men and women who now control the budget and set five-year police and crime plans.
With Colin Port's departure four police forces in the South West now have acting chief constables, and not all are interested in applying for the top job.
"I am sad to leave and stunned by the many messages of support I have received overnight from police officers and staff, ACPO colleagues, partners and friends of Avon and Somerset Constabulary.
"To all of them, I say thank-you."
Sir Hugh Orde, president of the Association of Chief Police Officers, said: "Colin Port has led Avon and Somerset Police with distinction over the last eight years, reducing crime and raising public confidence, steering the force through a period of major change and handling a number of high-profile criminal cases.
"His skills and experience will be a big loss to the service."
Mr Port was appointed head of Avon and Somerset Police in January 2005 after transferring from Norfolk Constabulary, where he was deputy chief constable.
His career began with Greater Manchester Police in 1974 and he also served with Warwickshire Police.
In 1994, Mr Port worked for the United Nations as investigations co-ordinator with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.
He was also director of investigations for the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.
Between 1999 and 2002 he was seconded to Northern Ireland to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of Rosemary Nelson, the human rights lawyer killed by a loyalist paramilitary group in 1999.

● Trieste
By Daša Drndić,
Translated from the Croatian by Ellen Elias-Bursac
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 368 pages. $27
In Gorizia, near Trieste, near Italy's border with Slovenia, an 83-year-old woman named Haya Tedeschi has been waiting 62 years — since 1944 — for the return of her abducted little boy, Antonio. For years she has been collecting shards of the history that surrounds her life story — writing notes, collecting old, cracked photos and news clippings, rearranging them "as if shuffling a pack of cards." The promise of this grave, staggering book by the Croatian writer Daša Drndić is that we will eventually get to the bottom of a mystery. We will find out not only what became of Tedeschi's son but why, as his mother awaits him, she remains "wildly calm."
"Her story is a small one," Drndić writes, but a necessary one, for Tedeschi, a mathematics teacher, knows that if she succeeds in "sweeping away the underbrush of her memory," her testimony will take its place in "a vast cosmic patchwork," and some truth might emerge about the grotesquely unnerving history she's lived through.
Tedeschi's forebears were citizens of the republic of displacement. They spoke Italian, German and Slovenian. Their saga begins long before 1944, in the southern reaches of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, where Archduke Franz Ferdinand pays a visit not long before heading for Sarajevo in 1914. From there, the saga bulges out in many directions, heading forward, backward and sideways, folding back upon itself more than once, swelling into a boundless weave of facts and inventions, so that everything in Tedeschi's story touches a million other stories in a delirium through which a historical sequence pokes out, like bones.
First published in Croatian in 2007, "Trieste" is a darkly hypnotic kaleidoscope of a book about characters suffering from a lethal case of history, who barely catch their breath before they are thrown off-balance again, displaced, bent, crushed and buried; it is about those who did evil and survived, some of them with impunity. To tell a story commensurate with the vastness of Nazi evil, Drndić combines historical, archival fragments with excerpts of memoirs, with poetry (including works by T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Jorge Luis Borges, Eugenio Montale), with anecdotes about historical persons, with photographs, with lists of transports and shreds of historical events, with transcripts of testimony given in Nuremberg. She lists the names of 9,000 murdered Italian Jews. Through such means she recreates the dizziness of history.
The reader, gripped by vertigo, will frequently wonder what here is unearthed and what is invented. But this vertigo has the objective of serving truth. For in the age of Google, it is easy to ascertain that, for example, a certain building in Trieste that Drndić describes still stands — a former rice-processing factory called the Risiera di San Sabba, the site of a Nazi concentration camp that functioned both to transfer Jews to Auschwitz, and to conduct exterminations. It is also easy to ascertain that an SS man named Kurt Franz was posted to Trieste in the fall of 1943. "Trieste" contains photos of him.
In Drndić's telling, the fictional baby Antonio Tedeschi was born of his mother's affair with the actual Franz. Before being assigned to Trieste in 1943, the not-at-all fictional Franz was a top commander at Treblinka, in occupied Poland. There, in the course of 15 months, he and his apparatus murdered about a million Jews. After the war, he served 28 years in prison.
Reader, if you want to avoid a spoiler, skip this paragraph: The son of Tedeschi and Franz, it will turn out, was abducted into a Nazi program called Lebensborn — an actual program established by Heinrich Himmler in 1935, though not intended for the children of Jewish mothers. Some 20,000 sufficiently Aryan-looking babies of various origins were raised in Lebensborn homes in Germany and Norway, and then dispersed through "orphanages" to loyal German homes to grow into exemplary specimens of the master race. One of the Lebensborn children grew up to become a member in the Swedish singing group Abba. This happened.
