dc.description.abstract | The Ministry of Education in Abu Dhabi launched an extensive reform initiative developed by the Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC) in partnership with international operators. The reform has introduced innovative teaching methodologies, modern books, a new curriculum and the use of English as a medium of instruction (EMI) in mathematics and science classes. The research carried out for this thesis investigated 11 Emirati female teachers. The data was collected from interviews and several informal observations carried out in a public middle school in a town outside Abu Dhabi city, UAE. The rationale for this study is to critically investigate the effects that rapid reform is having on the performance of the female teachers in the classroom and the impact of this speedy reform on their professional and personal lives so as to highlight differences between reform theory and practice. This study is significant because few studies on female teachers in a Gulf educational reform environment have been undertaken and it is essential to uncover the foreign and non-egalitarian nature of the reform programme. Therefore, the study's aims are to highlight teacher perspectives and teacher marginalization, EMI and consider whether the reform is being implemented successfully at the classroom level. Of course, an important aim of this critical study has also been to raise the consciousness of those participating in the reform. This study has revealed mostly negative perceptions regarding the Abu Dhabi education reform programme, in particular with teachers' perceptions of the work environment and the new pedagogy. It has also disclosed several instances of teacher marginalization as the result of a top-down reform and has exposed a prevailing sentiment of teacher disempowerment because of the presence of foreigners operating in the country. Teacher perceptions regarding EMI have been numerous in particular with cultural issues relating to the use of EMI in mathematics and science classes. Surprisingly, the study revealed a few unexpected positive findings with certain aspects of reform. | en_GB |

DOLLAR BILLS: SportsCorp President Marc Ganis said the number of billionaires "in the mix" who might decide this month to bid on the Bills is "far broader than the names the media have identified." Ganis: "I know that there are very financially capable prospective bidders who are looking at this. ... I suspect they won't be identified publicly unless they are successful." Ganis said that the unidentified potential bidders he is aware of are "so deep-pocketed and cash fluid" that each could "potentially buy the team on his or her own" (QMI AGENCY, 7/6).
A PHINE MESS: In Ft. Lauderdale, Chris Perkins noted Dolphins DE Dion Jordan's four-game suspension for violating the NFL's PED policy is "another bad news episode for the Dolphins, a team that has been immersed in a string of bad news events for almost a year." Each of these events has "added to the perception that coach Joe Philbin and owner Steve Ross still don't have a firm grasp on their organization." In the end, this is "just another episode to make fans shake their heads" (South Florida SUN-SENTINEL, 7/4).

If six songs including a 10-minute Bjork track count as a show. I forgot to check the schedule for basketball oops.
It's hard to believe that before now Magic Theatre had never staged a production of Sam Shepard's 1985 magnum opus A Lie of the Mind, especially considering the vast number of Shepard plays they have premiered over the years. The playwright's ties to Magic are very close indeed, as he was the theater's artist-in-residence from 1974 to 1984, and A Lie of the Mind is the latest event in their multi-year celebration "Sheparding America." And what an intensely absorbing production it is. The action divides between the wife-and-husband characters of Beth and Jake, with Beth as her family helps her recover from a horrific beating by Jake that inflicted very serious brain damage, and with Jake as he obsesses over memories of Beth and fights through a mysterious illness of his own under the overbearing eye of his mother. The entire 8-person cast is superb, with Jessi Campbell and Sean San José turning in particularly mesmerizing performances as Beth and Jake. I also loved James Wagner as Beth's brother Mike, by turns caring and frustrated as he urges his sister toward recovery, and Julia McNeal (Pearl from Hal Hartley's The Unbelievable Truth!) as Beth's mother Meg infuses the role with just the right amount of innocent surreality. The live music Shepard calls for in the script is performed here by musician/composers Nicholas Aives and Jason Cirimele, and their subtle fiddle and-guitar score skillfully emphasizes the playwright's themes of the American West and the American family. Shepard is never afraid to delve deep into the dark corners of the human psyche, and in A Lie of the Mind he explores how we search for love, and how we suffer for it.

Given the chaos that I (and a huge swath of my friends) have been experiencing over the last few weeks, I thought this would be the right moment to post the above file, a favorite Rilke poem recorded for a beautiful walking meditation piece at Oakland's Krowswork Gallery that took place a few days into the new year. Much gratitude to my audio engineer Michael Becker too!
I'm also taking this opportunity to plug the new membership program at Krowswork, your chance to become an active participant in the space's reinvention. For the last five years Jasmine Moorhead has been curating the kind of thoughtful and exciting programming that has put Oakland on the international art map, and I am thrilled to see how she evolves the gallery into "a Center for Video and Visionary Art." She's going for all or nothing with a Kickstarter campaign, and with 14 days left she's a little over halfway to her goal of $12,000. Support Krowswork, and support cutting-edge and socially-engaged art in Oakland.

Transaction monitoring (TM) tools have lulled many large banks into a false sense of security, according to anti-money laundering specialists, Datanomic Ltd.
This is not because they are failing to alert banks to irregular or suspicious activity, but because TM tools only ever make these alerts when a transaction is made - and only then if an alert is actually triggered.
Reactive approach
Datanomic claims that this means terrorists, criminals and fraudsters are currently lying dormant inside many of the world's major banks today because they have not yet been caught doing something suspicious.
Money laundering and the heavy penalties it imposes, is a growing, sophisticated threat.
Datannomic warns that taking such a reactive approach to a proactive, spiralling problem is addressing the issue far too late in the process.
Banks should not wait until a transaction takes place before they are alerted to unethical activities or individuals.
They should be regularly and systematically screening their entire client base to avoid any association with such individuals in the first place.
Tool never once identified a terrorist
The firm calls it worrying that sophisticated criminals and terror cells have woken up to what triggers a transaction monitoring alert inside a bank's system and have adapted their behaviour accordingly.
The foiled Heathrow terror plot was funded for less than £100,000, and every single transaction looked normal, and therefore went undetected by the TM systems of the banks involved.
"The fact is that a TM tool has never once identified a terrorist," said Dr Jonathan Pell, CEO of Datanomic Ltd.
He explains that this is because TM tools were never designed to fulfil the obligation of systematically screening a bank's entire customer base. They were simply designed to alert behaviour that is out of the ordinary.
Lawsuit against Lloyds TSB
Relying entirely on transaction monitoring tools for compliance with AML legislation equates to waiting to catch criminals in the act of doing something wrong, before admitting to their existence.
"Transaction monitoring is reactive. It waits for a transaction. Automated client screening is proactive. It takes proactive steps to guard against unknowingly dealing with such individuals much earlier in the event chain," Pell added.
In October 2007, US prosecutors filed a $130 million (£64 million) lawsuit against Lloyds TSB for knowingly helping to launder the proceeds from a large scale securities fraud.
Lloyds TSB had been using transaction monitoring but not automated client screening.
Likewise, in 2007 the Serious Fraud Office launched an investigation into Investec over an arms scandal. Investec was using transaction monitoring but not a client screening.
Yesterday's answers to today's threats
Pell warned that the world has fundamentally changed since TM tools were first introduced and installed, which is why legislation has changed along with it.
"If your organisation is simply relying on transaction monitoring tools for anti-money laundering, then you're applying yesterday's answers to today's threats. More worryingly, you have a serious hole in your risk mitigation strategy," he concluded.
Datanomic has screened close to one billion customer records to date, and found that in some instances the identity of an individual was an exact match to a terrorist or criminal – with no alias or false identity being used at all.
The company has outlined five golden rules for anti money laundering for banks and financial institutions.
These include:
- Don't rely on TM tools for anti-money laundering. Simply waiting to be alerted to suspicious behaviour is burying your head in the sand.
- Don't just rely on Bank of England and OFAC lists. Supplement them with comprehensive third party Sanctions and PEP lists.
- Just because you have a sanctions list, does not necessarily mean it is being used in the right way. Only checking against sanctions lists when a transaction takes place is a waste of the intelligence at your fingertips.
- Systematically screen your entire client base, not just your transactions.
- Ensure your risk mitigation strategy is aligned with your business operations. Criminals, terrorists and fraudsters have become increasingly sophisticated. Make sure you keep ahead of the game with equally sophisticated client screening tools.

caffe al no 5 fiesole: Potential to be nice but sadly a rip-off
The waiter was great, absolutely no complaints. Sadly the food was of a very poor quality and taste. We had a pasta carbonara and a chicken salad, the pasta tasted like microwave food and the salad was tiny with dried chicken. A small glass of coke was €4.20 each!!!!! Plus we even had to pay a cutlery charge of €1.50 per person. It is actually cheaper and much better quality to eat in the prime cliff terraces....but if you really want a bargain and excellent food try the market areas of Firenze!!
Favorite Dish: None- Castles and Palaces

Caffe al No. 5: Great service and atmosphere, good food too!
Of course the most popular restaurants in Fiesole are the ones with a terrace overlooking the city of Florence but after taking a look at the different menus, we decided we'd rather enjoy a good, not too expensive meal and then walk around to enjoy the view. There were several nice looking restaurants around the main piazza and in the end we decided to have a late lunch at Caffe al No. 5. This little bistro has been around for over 100 years and it's described as an "American bar", although I couldn't find much that was American about it - the menu presented a nice selection of Italian dishes and our waitress couldn't speak much English :o) She was very friendly though and immediately made us feel at home. I ordered the pennette all'amatriciana (served with an onions, bacon and tomato sauce) and they were quite tasty. Just as we were about to finish our meal, rain started pouring down so we went inside and hung around the bar for a while. There was a nice atmosphere inside and the rain provided us with the perfect excuse to order a couple of digestives - I went for the caffe corretto and it sure warmed me up! By the time the sun came out again our afternoon in Fiesole was already off to a very good start :o)

The Etrusca Bar & Restaurant: Just Relax in Fiesole
Large outdoor patio in front with huge umbrellas shading you from the summer sun. Inside is a bar next to a large wood-fired brick oven & upstairs are little dining nooks & crannies with windows overlooking the sights of the town.
The owner is a friendly, good looking man, who was sitting outside with an
American friend when I walked up. He's been in the restaurant business with his family since he was a little boy. They were so welcoming & informally friendly to me. I ended up staying at a table next to theirs for over 2 hours! Michelle included me in the special family recipe she made for some friends who came later, since there was enough left to offer me some, she thought. We talked before her friends arrived about her life & goals & about my travels.
Favorite Dish: From the menu I only had ice cream with fresh strawberries. Generous with the berries but the ice cream was a regular vanilla, not exceptional. Also tried the iced tea which was very good. Wish I could have tried the pizza or a real meal from their main menu, but by the time I had my mid-afternoon treat, followed by the tea, then the special recipe helping, I was full! And I had little time left,unfortunately...I had to leave, taking the public bus down the mountain to the Florence train station.
This was my last relaxing before leaving Italy by train, then plane. So it holds a very important place in my memories.- Women's Travel

Caffe al no. 5: Come alive at number five
Caffe al no. 5 - on the Piazza Mino da Fiesole - "Bistrot American Bar, light lunch & dinner, birreria, cocktails & long drinks, caffetteria"
Favorite Dish: I'll have to check what they served us, but I'm sure I'll find the receipt somewhere.- Food and Dining
Le Cave di Maiano: A top notch dining experience
This restaurant is actually just a stone's throw south of Fiesole in Maiano/Settignano.
We had seen this restaurant recommended in one of our tour books and figured we'd give it a try. Seems that a lot of tourists end up staying in or near Fiesole as it's just 5 minutes north of Florence (and presumably because it's away from the tourist masses and awful streets!).
It turned out that the owner's son chose to be our personal waiter, and we ended up learning rather lot in a very short time about what was good on the menu. (In fact, this fellow was hilarious--both of us thought he should be on a stage somewhere cracking one-liners.)
The atmosphere was suitably lively for a busy trattoria, and the service was top notch.
The owner's son ended up sending us home with a free bottle of their house wine. Our Italy trip was not without its surprises!
Favorite Dish: Their pasta is amazing--homemade the same day. I chose to have the papardelle a la ragu, and my wife had one of the tagliatelle selections. Both were excellent (hint: you can't go wrong ordering pasta at a good restaurant in Italy).- Arts and Culture

Pizzeria Etrusca: The only pizzeria in Fiesole
You sit next to the street at Piazza Mino, the center of Fiesole. It´s a crowded place, but it´s worth to wait a while. The tables are standing quite close to each other, what is good for conversation. We met some nice Germans there and were talking a lot. It was a nice evening!
Favorite Dish: All pizzas are great here. Also try a starter from the carte....... -
Ristorante Perseus: Don´t miss this lovely backyard!
We were sitting in the lovely backyard, just opposite the amphitheater....
Favorite Dish: Starter: Bruschetta (toasted bread with tomatoes and olive oil) and Crostini (toasted bread with liver paste)
Main: Gnocchetti con pesto (fresh potatoe noodles with fresh green sauce made from Basilikum)

We hope everyone had a relaxing, fun-filled 4th of July! We'd like to congratulate our 'own' Dylan Teeter for winning this years U.S. Kids Player of the Year for the Kansas City region during the spring tour. Dylan is playing very well in the Kansas Junior Golf Association and also recently won the local "Drive, Chip, and Putt" championship in Newton. He has also qualified for sub-regionals in Kansas City and hopes to make it to nationals again this year. Best wishes to Dylan! Congrats are also in order to Robert Spradling for his Hole-In-One on Hole #15 using his sand wedge. We are urging our members to not store range balls in their carts. Here is the math! We have approximately 105 carts in storage and about 30 annual trail fees. If every member had approximately 50 range balls in their carts (a medium bucket), that would equate to 6,750 range balls equaling about 90 large buckets! To insure safety, we ask that there be NO pedestrian or other cart traffic on the course that is not golf related. For liabilty reasons, we can not allow general or recreational traffic that does not relate to the golf operation. Thank you!
Come check out the Cobra Club "Early Season Sale" in Hastert Golf Shop!

The golf course maintenance is flowing smoothly and the course is in good shape! You, the members/patrons, are doing a great job with keeping it that way. Thank you from the maintenance crew! We have been fixing leaks so we ask that you not drive over these areas. On hole #4, the blue tee's will remain on the back of the box. The golf course was rated with them there and that is where they will stay unless I move them. Please do not move them up! We have mowed a landing area for a lay-up spot. The greens have been plugged in the bare areas and are taking very well. The native grass areas are looking great so please continue to keep carts out of these areas.

Select Comfort Management Discusses Q2 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
I will now turn the call over to Shelly for her comments.
Shelly R. Ibach
Thank you, Mark. Good afternoon, and thank you for joining our earnings call today. We're very pleased with our second quarter financial performance. Earnings per share increased 50% from a year ago to a second quarter record of $0.30. Sales increased 27% from a year ago to a second quarter record of $205 million. These results demonstrate the strength of our unique business model and integrated growth formula.
Our vertically-integrated model as a manufacturer and retailer provides multiple points of leverage to maximize operating margin, which was also a second quarter record of 12.6%. Strong cash flow allows us to self fund growth, and we remain committed to achieving the appropriate balance between seizing investment opportunities and managing risks.
Our integrated growth formula supports our long-term strategy, focused on delivering an unparalleled customer experience. We are driving traffic and conversion through our brand advertising, exclusive distribution, relationship-based selling experience and proprietary benefit-driven suite of products and services. Again, in the second quarter, we experienced strong units in ASP growth. This validates our differentiated strategy that goes beyond selling mattresses to offering consumers a complete individualized value-added sleep experience. Therefore, we are confident in our ability to drive performance in the short and long term. As we have previously discussed, our strategy has delivered top and bottom line growth regardless of the economic environment or changes in the competitive landscape. In the second quarter, we increased media investment as planned by 37% over prior year. At the same time, we continued to shift media buys to more effectively reach our expanded target consumer and develop local markets. As expected, these actions resulted in the following: improved brand and store awareness; increased traffic, driving a 13% unit increase in our company-controlled channels; and advancement of our local market development strategy, including the launch of our seventh aggressive growth market at the end of the quarter.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Little Fighter Alpha
Created with Little Fighter game sprites, this series is like a hardcore in-game cinema.
A shameless remake of some old classics - I know it's un-original, but it was real hard to make.
- Fifty stages!
- Thanks for the tips on the bugs!
- AND thanks for the reviews guys, I'm making some notes and gonna do some changes.
this was a good work flash the flash was good you did good at BREAKIT it was just like the other one I played
Great Game, but..
I found some weird glitch,
I had the lazer power up, then afterwards i got the 3 ball power up, anyways i lost all 3 balls at the end, but it didnt register me losing a life...or restarting. I just sat there with a lazer, and i couldnt finish the lvl because the rest of the bricks were covered by those grey ones.
BTW i was on lvl 3 at the time.
I loved this,,,
This is by far the the best break em uo game we have played. Having mouse controled paddle and abilty to direct which way the balI will go. Some place the ball would go diagonal through the bricks but oh well that doesnt matter. The auto-save feature is niffty.
I got hooked played none stop for a least an hour or 2 then came back 2 it awesome game....there might be a glitch on lvl 12 if u die the ball dont come back

Having lived most of my life in the northeast U.S., I am enjoying retired life in sunny Florida. I enjoy photographing many different kinds of things, but especially flowers and animals, including the beautiful birds found here in Florida. I am currently using a Canon EOS Rebel XSi/450D camera, a Canon 55-250 mm telescopic zoom lens, and a Sony P10 Cyber-shot digital camera. My newest acquisition is a Canon PowerShot SX260 HS, a point and shoot which I will be carrying in my purse.
View Full ProfileThis is very cool, Dot! You sure spent your time productively outside that office!
There was a lot of interesting stuff out there! The sunshine was just about right, too. Thanks, my friend!

The real issue is a man was seen by eye witnesses carrying a bag full of gas canisters, body armour, a helmet. The bag could have been pipe bombs. So take off your gun control hat for a moment and realize that crazy people with bags full of trouble are dangerous. Israel is far from a gun control country. Those that have served in the military are part of the reserve and carry and own weapons. They have anti-tank weapons at home and are ready to defend the State of Israel from thugs and evil people that are nuts.
As Norway proved crazy, smart people are always dangerous. The fact is the Aurora Colorado picked a location that had a policy to prevent the legal carrying of firearms. The crazy person was back lit at the front of a theatre in plain view and had time to reload. He had a gas mask on which means his vision was obscured and peripheral vision was obstructed. If anyone in the theatre was carrying a firearm he would have been stopped quickly. This would not have taken place in Israel.
Had a member of the audience been in possession of a firearm, the villan would have been stopped quickly. However, one can always argue with this statement by mentioning that perhaps if gun licensing laws were tighter to the point where it would be illegal for a person to own such weapons, then the whole messy situation could have been avoided. Through inaction on such lax gun laws, the government is setting itself up to see many more of these atrocities. With criminalising such weapons, particularly of the automatic or semi automatic margins, if someone was to get a hold of one and carry out such an act, at least it wouldn't be a result of absurd allowances by the government and truly simply an execution by a madman.
In theory if we could wish away over 350,000,000 firearms we could live with rainbows, unicorns and ponies. As Mexico has proven with the most aggressive gun control in the world, the cost is the massacre of 48,000 unarmed citizens. The fact that the narco terrorists use fully automatic weapons left over from war zones all of the world shows that removing global firearms is like charging windmills.
Israel proves that if you can not stop global weapons, then an armed people with is the only solution. Accidental deaths in Israel from guns is less than the total number of people killed by terrorists last year because gun education and training works even in the presence of fully automatic weapons.
According to the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in 2011 a total of 20 innocent Israeli civilians were murdered by terrorists.
Florida proves that after issuing a total of 2,260,949 permits since 1987 a total of 168 of them have been revoked for firearm related infractions.
Today 40 States with Shall Carry laws and a down economy, homicides and the death of innocent people has not been lower since the 1960's according to FACTS from the FBI. Deaths under gun control proves the gun control fantasy in the US did not work.
Here is a link to the State of Florida official facts that Wild West Theory does not match FACT:
This year in 2012, Said Fashapshe, 35, of Haifa was murdered by terrorists.
In 2011, Udi Fogel, Ruth Fogel along with three of their children Yoav, 11, Elad, 4, and 3-month-old Hadas were stabbed to death by terrorists. Mary Jean Gardner, Daniel Viflic, Ben-Yosef Livnat, Aviv Morag, Flora Gez, Moshe Gez, Shula Karlinsky, Dov Karlinsky, Yosef Levy, Yitzhak Sela, Yossi Shushan, Eliyahu Naim, Asher Palmer, Yonatan Palmer and Moshe Ami.
You seem to be twisting the facts to suit your ideology.
First, even if anyone in the theater had brought a gun to a Thursday night movie, the shooter was not in plain view. He started detonating his poison gas bombs before he started shooting the four guns he had carried into the theater. Not only was he obscured, a number of witnesses report having a physical, chemical reaction to the gas.
Second, Aurora--unlike the vast majority of the US--does allow the concealed carry of firearms. It was only the movie theater that had a policy prohibiting firearms inside. Should we start dismantling private property rights to ensure the safety of everyone's right to bear arms?
gelk, while I agree with what you say later in your comment about the danger or lax or poorly enforced gun laws, you open with this suggestion: "Had a member of the audience been in possession of a firearm, the villan would have been stopped quickly." I disagree for several reasons. First, as you probably know, the initial reaction by the audience to the intruder thowing gas canisters was that it was part of the show. At that point, even if some people were "packing heat", they could not have simply opened up fire on the intruder nor would they likely have known his future intentions, particularly in a dark theater. Second, while gun activists would love for everyone to think that they not only will be safter carrying a gun with them into every restaurant, school or nursery, the reality is that most people become panicky and, if not properly trained, will probably either miss the intruder or else, even worse, do harm to themselves or others in a crowded location. It is alway interesting that many gun rights activitists mock the security provided by police officers yet have this unlimited faith in some amateur gun owner to surgically take out an intruder. That only happens in the movies. As for the tragedy in Denver, with a dark, crowded room, tight stadium seats and little room to run, opening up fire on the killer probably would have only added to the carnage not by one but probably by dozens. In short, just imagine you are in the first row or two - unarmed - and some hot shots are in the higher rows behind you and they decide they are "man enough" to get off a good shot at the intruder only a few feet away from you and your head. If you walk out with only a need to change your soiled underwear, I will say you were extremely lucky.
Thank you for clearing that up, I wrote that as a response to the original comment by Yukon Dave. I completely 100% agree with you and it was probably not the best way to open my opinion on the matter as I disagree with my statement wholeheartedly.
What dismays me is that gun sales in Colorado have gone up since the tragedy. I'm glad I live in a country where it would be impossible to legally own such a cache of weapons, and I feel safer for it.

Reviews For Thorogood Boots 804-4208
I work in the field as a builder, so I wear steel toe boots though I have always had a thing for high-quality,correctly-suited footware for the job: Italian hiking boots, Spanish architecty shoes (Campers), Aussie Blundstone boots--and I wear Fryes harness for casual wear. AND these cost about 1/2 the price of the classic Redwing Irishsetters, too! Thorogood's are my favorite. I wear a 9-1/2 and they fit dead-nuts. These are incredibly light and the cushiony ride offers protection from rocks, staples and nails. Versile: whether packing a Dumpster full of construction refuse or meeting a client, they perform well.
These are extremely well-made--in America--with beautifully soft, rugged leather and a comfortable outsole; I've been beating on my first pair since May 2011. They wear so well I bought a second pair in September to make both pairs last and to a dry pair on my feet everyday. I have still (year and a half) not worn through the leather to the toe steel!!! I have quite sweaty feet, though I can go three days without these getting uncomfortable, if needed.
However, the lateral support isn't always stable (potential rollover), side-to-side, because the outsole is so high (about an 1", but see specs) and drop right off, though the laces cinch tight for ankle support and a good snug fit, and quick-loops rock. Used in attics, on rafters, with no safety problems. Treads are non-skid, non-skid and work beautifully on most surfaces; the classic carpenter's tread pattern makes for little tracking in and out of buildings, though aren't my go-to for muddy, treacherous sitework.
Will definitely have a pair of these in my footware stable for years to come! ALSO, workingpersons.com was very easy to do business with. I would recommend and buy from them again in the future, easy and free returns if they don't fit.

Split The Rock
Mike Taylor - 04/03/2003
This particular dance should carry a Goverment Health Warning - time to reset your 'pacemaker'. I aint kidding either. Whether you try the 32 'easy' (you gotta be kiddin') version or the harder (but more fun) 64 count version I reckon you will be smiling like a Cheshire cat when you've learnt it. This music will get the feet tapping like mad for sure.
Hands Off!!
Mike Taylor - 04/03/2003
A case of The Clampetts meet Led Zeppelin or ACDC. Could this be country ROCK with the electrics plugged in. From Coyte Ugly-more music. the film is great, the music is great, the dance is.......well...great!
One Way Or Another
Mike Taylor - 04/03/2003
'Clear the Bar-Top..and welllllllcome the girrrrrrrrls' - in the the best Cilla tradition. This dance just has to be a hit. Pity that the music (not the dance) becomes a little 'untidy' a couple of times but as the Chori Notes state 'remember the tempo and stick with it'.
Do The Salsa!
Erny de Kooter - 04/03/2003
Nice couple dance for beginners and older people, Now they can also dance on the same music where everybody is doing the "Red Hot Salsa"which is for 55+ people to complicated. Country Line Dance is a social entertainment for every age!
The Memory Cha Cha
Erny de Kooter - 04/03/2003
Perfect dance for beginners AND older people, nice music and not to much turns for them
Wanna Be Me
David of Lincoln Lone Stars - 04/03/2003
I've always liked Ed's dances and this one might appear a little bit tricky when first learning it but after a few attempts, you realise its quite straighforward. Music from the Keith Urban CD which also contains Somebody like You - the track I find is a bit too long at just over 4 minutes for a 32 count dance and I think I'll be fading it out after 3 minutes to prevent anyone getting bored. Keep em coming Ed.
Wam Bam-A-Lam
Marjan de Bruijn - 04/03/2003
Its just a very great dance written by a very great lady. Keep up the good work Conny. Whe are waiting for the next dance
Somebody Like You
Marjan de Bruijn - 04/03/2003
ALan whe saw you dancing in Liverpool at Maggie's weekend and it was a great time watching you dance that dance. Now whe've learned it ourself. It a very funny dance on great music.
Marjan de Bruijn - 04/03/2003
What a great dance. I love the music and the dance. It fits so right in to the music. Suberb Kate. Another great dance.
Donegan's Reel
Marjan de Bruijn - 04/03/2003
SUBERB.... just another hit of Maggie. Whe learnd it in Liverpool and in Paris, he's just so great also the music from Shamrock is the best.
American Pop
Marjan de Bruijn - 04/03/2003
It's a very cool dance. He was teached by Roy Verdonk in the Netherlands with the BENELUX championship. He's realy cool.
Come Dance With Me
irene - 03/03/2003
Beautiful music, with a lovely little dance to. A change to enjoy a dance without too much effort. Also super for learners.
Donegan's Reel
irene - 03/03/2003
I love it, but the downside to the dance is that only a minority can do it dur to the speed. Also rather partial to Lonnie D's music
Sacred Trust

Michael Jackson had better watch out!! This is a great one folks, highly recommended!

Lovers no good at spotting others in love
The next time you're at a party with the love of your life, don't spend a lot of time trying to identify other couples in love – chances are, you aren't very good at it.
Golfers may be able to identify a sweet swing, and runners admire a lengthy stride in others, but a new study has found that when it comes to identifying couples in love, no one is worse than – well, couples in love. "Love is truly blind," said Frank J. Bernieri, professor and chair of the Department of Psychology at Oregon State University and one of the authors of the study.

Taranaki have won their first national sevens title in 31 years with a convincing victory over North Harbour in the final in Queenstown this afternoon.
The amber-and-blacks' only titles in the shortened form of the game had previously come in Palmerston North in 1981 and Feilding in 1982.
The weight of history had no effect on them today, however, as they scored 27 unanswered points to effectively wrap up the final midway through the second half.
Mark Atkins showed blistering pace to score a hat-trick of tries for Taranaki, including two in the space of 90 seconds immediately after halftime.
North Harbour did manage to bring some respectability to the scoreline in the second half, with Tevita Li scoring two tries.
Waikato, the winners of the northern regional qualifying tournament, were high profile casualties on day one on Saturday after pool play losses to Northland and Southland.
Auckland's hopes of a third-straight title and a record 12th national sevens crown were dashed when they were upset 21-19 by North Harbour in the championship quarterfinal this morning.
Hawke's Bay and Counties Manukau were other championship regulars to miss out.
Otago's unbeaten run through pool play came to an end in the championship semifinal with a 17-7 loss to Taranaki, while Bay of Plenty's unbeaten campaign was ended by North Harbour at the same point.
It wasn't a great tournament for Auckland, with their women's team also missing out on the final after dominating in the early rounds of their women's round-robin competition.
Manawatu came through strongly from the round-robin, beating both Auckland and Waikato, before downing Waikato again 36-17 in the final to become the first national women champions since Bay of Plenty won the last tournament in 2003.
North Harbour captain David Raikuna won the Joe Tauiwi memorial trophy as the men's player of the tournament, an award he had previously won playing for Counties Manukau in 2008.
Manawatu vice-captain Selica Winiata was named the women's player of the tournament.
All Black Sevens coach Gordon Tietjens will name a development team this week to contest a tournament in Fiji at the weekend.
Day one results:

Nice pleace to eat, the curry it's nice and you can tell they follow traditional recipes. The staff pleasant and always smiling. We'll be back!
This restaurant serves some of the best indian food in the North East.... The surroundings are very basic but is more than made up for with the sumptuous food on offer.

Was taken here my a supplier great little spot, homely fresh hearty meal. A jewel hidden in the west end of Newcastle. Fantastic food.
Visited here on Saturday 29th Nov. didn't book but they still sorted a table despite being busy. Food was lovely as always.

A work colleague recommended this place as I am always on the look out for an indian take away that offers that extra wow factor.

24/7 Customer Support
For Whirlpool Ice Maker Control Module (Part Number: AP4359694)
Darren for Model Number 10657757790
Answer Hello Darren. Based on the testing, the icemaker is bad and will need to be replaced.
Was this helpful?
1 Answer
Jim C for Model Number KSRB22FKSS14
Answer Hello Jim. Yes, the unit has to get cold enough to cycle.
Julianwen for Model Number er2chmxpl04
Answer Hello Julianwen. If the icemaker is overfilling, replace the water valve. However, if the icemaker is leaking, just replace the icemaker.
Bart B. for Model Number 10654536400
Answer Hello Bart, The only way you can get the part in question is by buying either the motor module 8201515 or the complete icemaker assembly W10190965.
Phil for Model Number HD22RQXXW00
Answer Hello Phil. Make sure the freezer is between 0° and 5°. You need to check and see if there is power going to the water valve when the icemaker cycles. If so, replace the water valve on the unit. Next, make sure the filter is good. Also, check and make sure the fill tube on the unit is not frozen and clogged. If so, replace the water valve and thaw out the fill tube. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
Jeff for Model Number whirlpool ED2CHQXK005
Answer Jeff, the model should read ED2CHQXKQ05 (Q05 instead of 005). The control module W10190935 is the correct replacement and will work on your unit. Thanks.
Doug for Model Number 10657793701
Answer Doug, The first thing that you will want to check is the emitter board. When you open the freezer door look at the right wall. There should be a light flashing. If the light is not flashing then push on the flapper on the left wall and push on the light switch and see if the light starts flashing. If not then the emitter board is bad and would need to be replaced. If the light is flashing when you open the door then push on the flapper and see if it glows solid. If it continues to flash then the emitter board is bad. If the light is solid then pull the icemaker out and remove the cover and check the pins in the center of the large wheel. If they are pushed together or one is broken off then you would need to replace the icemaker module. The part number for the module is W10190935 and the part number for the emitter board is 4389102.
Answer Hello Alex! No, part number W10190935 is 120v only. We'll need your model number to determine the correct item available for your appliance. Please obtain this information and repost for further assistance. Thanks.
Mike for Model Number W2rxemmwbo1
Answer Mike, To test the icemaker to make sure that the motor is good then you would put a jumper on t and h. The M to N is a test point for voltage for the motor when cycling.
Carol S.
Answer Carol, make sure that the water line running to the icemaker is not kinked, frozen, or clogged. If the line is ok and the icemaker is not calling for water, the icemaker will need to be replaced. Thanks!

I'm not sure where you are from, but I'm with OP on this one. In my experience, smoking is not everywhere at all. I live in the SF Bay area, and I rarely come into contact with smoke/smokers. My children were actually 5 and 7 before they noticed it. Ironically, it was in Ireland right after we'd gotten off the plane and were standing in the taxi queue. I'll never forget DS7 asking very loudly what that horrible smell was (cringe ).
I have a child with Cystic Fibrosis, so I get the "need to avoid smoke" at all costs issue. I am also an ex-smoker, so I understand the "need" to smoke 1st thing in the morning, after dinner, and before bed. Everyone is paying A LOT of money to cruise Disney. The rates are basically the same for everyone, depending on when you book, this is not a money thing. I have sailed twice with verandah rooms and have not had a problem with smoke at all. If your neighbor does smoke, if you explain your daughter's situation to them nicely, maybe they will refrain from smoking out there during the times that you are there, or they would put their cigarettes out if you come out onto your balcony. I hope all goes well for you, I do understand, Brian can go from running around to the ER quickly. As Disney fleet of ships grows, maybe they can make one ship completely smoke free. They can start there and see how it sells.
Why? Both sides paid same amount of money for the stateroom and by DCL rules they can smoke on their verandas....so why they should move them????
The other option is go on the cruise, but don't book a verandah stateroom, or keep the person with the severe reaction away from the verandah when smokers are present. DCL does specifically allow smoking on the verandahs. For that reason it would seem unreasonable to expect the smoker to be the one moved. There's also no guarantee that if you are moved to another verandah stateroom, that one won't be next door to a smoker too.
I sure hope I don't get an extreme anti smoker beside us. I consider us "polite smokers", but at the end of the day, we ARE smokers. One of the perks of Disney is that you are able to smoke on balcony. I would hate to have the guilt of "ruining" someone's vacation because I was doing something within the regulations!
There is no easy answer. First, while most Disney cruisers are Americans, it is an international cruise line. I had an interesting discussion in June on our cruise to Alaska (on HAL) with some folks from Europe and Asia. They respected the smoking rules, but did say it is interesting that for a country that is the home of the free, we accept such strict restrictions on smoking. If non-smokers and smokers just try and be courteous, and respect each other, folks can be out on their balcony having a cigarette, then go in so others can go out and not having to breath the smoke.
151 Days out...Get your money back. If you and/or your daughter are that sensitive to cigarette smoke (for whatever reason), it's not worth it to worry about it from now until your cruise, in my opinion.
But that can be turned around as well. I am free to breathe clean air and not be forced to smell something I find offensive that is, in fact, harmful to my health. Freedom is good.
What about getting an inside room? My son is extremely sensitive to the smell of smoke (not allergic but no one would hear the end of it if he was around the smell a lot) and half the reason we booked an inside room was because I heard a cruising horror story about a family with a non-stop smoker out on the veranda next to them. I bet if you stick with your veranda room you'll be just fine though. The impolite smoker thing probably doesn't happen very often.
It would seem to me, mamamac that you are correct. If you have enough money, you can book every room in the ship and either leave the rooms empty or fill them with nonsmokers. For the record, I don't smoke. I'll be glad to fill in some space, if you're offering.
I completely agree with you! I am a smoker and so is my DH and we are extremely aware of our surroundings when we smoke. We have a two year old in which we do not even let him see us smoke! I always feel guilty and never want anyone to feel that I am being rude by sneaking in one of my three smokes a day! I also think there is some stereotypes being circulated on this thread because all us smokers and not inconsiderate jerks.
I'm not a smoker and my dad isn't either, my mom is but she doesn't like traveling much and would never get on a cruise ship. But if we had people by us they smoked I wouldn't mind unless they were really bad. Yes it can smell bad, but can't smell any worse then the pot/weed I had to deal with at warped tour a few years back. I can still smell it
[QUOTE="Cinder" Ella's Mom;47126014]But that can be turned around as well. I am free to breathe clean air and not be forced to smell something I find offensive that is, in fact, harmful to my health. Freedom is good.[/QUOTE] My point exactly. With common courtesy, everyone can have a great cruise.

5 Banks Stocks Showing 'Real' Earnings Growth
2. City National
Shares of
City National Corp.
(CYN) of Los Angeles close at $50.56 Friday, returning 16% year-to-date, following a 27% declined last year.
The shares trade for 1.6 times tangible book value, and for 13 times the consensus 2013 EPS estimate of $3.96.
Based on a quarterly payout of 25 cents, the shares have a dividend yield of 1.98%.
City National in July purchased Rochdale Investment management.
The company had $26.3 billion in total assets as of Sept. 30. Third-quarter pre-provision net revenue grew 52% year-over-year, to $108.5 million. Noninterest income -- excluding investment gains -- was up 61% year-over-year to $106.4 million, as City National booked $1.7 million in revenue from FDIC loss-sharing agreements, when the company had reported $14.2 million in expenses from the agreements a year earlier. Trust and investment fees rose to $43.5 million in the third quarter from $35.4 million in the third quarter of 2011, while brokerage and mutual fund fees increased to $9.1 million from $5.1 million, reflecting the Rochdale acquisition. City National's third-quarter net interest income was up 5% from a year earlier, to $209.9 million, but the net interest margin narrowed to 3.52% from 3.74%. The company reported third-quarter net income of $59.8 million, or $1.10 a share, increasing from $41.4 million, or 78 cents a share, a year earlier. City National's third-quarter ROA was 0.93% and its return on average equity was 10.35%. Jefferies analyst Casey Haire rates City National a "Hold," with a $52 price target, and said on Oct. 19 that "we leave our 2013 EPSInterested in more on City National?

Academy Award winning actress Joanne Woodward was nominated for a Primetime Emmy for her performance as a Congresswoman desperately trying to save her family and career. Laura Linney plays her pregnant, drug-addicted daughter with realistic grace in one of her first breakout roles ever. A story about choices, consequences, and redemption, this is one emotional journey mothers and daughters may find especially meaningful.
Congresswoman Nell Harrington's seemingly perfect life collapses when her son-in-law dies in a car accident. Her grief is compounded by the discovery that he was addicted to cocaine--and so is her daughter. As their lives unravel, Nell scrambles to save her daughter, her grandchild, and her career, but her domineering attitude is pushing her family apart. Mother and daughter must face the consequences of their choices in order to move forward.

It is hard to believe that the New Year is right around the corner! I know, we just began the month of December and here I am talking about 2015. However, we all know how time flies. We also know that the New Year is when most of us try to form a resolution to eat better and be healthier in general. As of late, I have been reevaluating my family's habits, which explains my thoughts towards the forthcoming resolution deadline. Most people associate our family with living a healthy lifestyle, asking us how we do it with two boys and hectic schedules. I can honestly say it is takes diligence, especially when teens are involved! For Daniel and me it has always been about supplying the boys with knowledge, setting goals and encouraging a well-balanced lifestyle of smart nutrition with exercise. For the most part our boys are good about keeping up with how much they snack, staying hydrated after exerting themselves, be it surfing or biking, but let's be honest: kids will be kids. Which is why the best advice to them is "please practice moderation. " Two things that have noticeably changed in the past couple of years are age and accessibility. Once the decision making process falls into their hands it is not as easy as it once was to make sure that they are always making the best choices. That goes for just about anything involving teens, yes! I will not lie; it has been difficult to let go of the reigns and allow our oldest to take the lead. However, it has been thrilling to see how curious he has become on his own about the subject with a PED course he is taking at the local university. I think we forget sometimes how captivated young people can become when they are discovering information for themselves, rather than only hearing it from dear old mom and dad. Which is why as a parent I am intrigued by the American Beverage Association's new program MIXIFY. Have you heard of it? Mixify is an initiative that is all about supporting parents' efforts to balance what their family eats and drinks with the physical activity that they get. The idea for Mixify started when moms across the country told America's leading beverage companies they wanted their support in educating their teens about balance, which included the need for information on how they could fit in all of the foods and beverages they might enjoy, such as soda and snacks, and still achieve balanced lifestyles. What I like the most is that Mixify was co-created with teens to make sure it would resonate with them, including features teens specifically asked for, like the opportunity to ask experts, dietitians and personal trainers for advice on how to fit balance into their busy lives. Digital resources for teens about Mixify can be found here at MyMixify.com. The American Beverage Association has a new goal to cut beverage calories consumed per person by 20 percent by 2025!!
If you feel like you could use a little help in keeping your teen, yourself or your whole family on a well-balanced track, check out DeliveringChoices.org to learn more. You can also find ABA Delivers on their social channels – Twitter and Facebook – to learn more about Mixifyand all the other efforts America's Beverage Companies are undertaking to help families achieve balance.
"Coke, Dr Pepper and Pepsi understand that getting a balanced mix of foods, drinks and physical activities for your family isn't always easy. That's why they're coming together for the first time ever to talk to teens about balancing what they eat and drink with what they do. With tools to help teens get active and information to help them think about when they've had too much, or maybe when it's time for a treat—America's beverage companies are supporting our efforts to find a balanced mix that works for our families."

I have following scenario:
- Click a link or button.
- Open up Barcode Scanner by ZXing.
- Scan the code.
- Pass the decoded data to other webpages.
For 1 and 4, it must be performed inside WebView. The problem I faced was, using this https://code.google.com/p/zxing/wiki/ScanningFromWebPages, I will be opening the webpage in default browser. Should I use Intent instead to overcome this problem? Or there are any better workaround?
