You must be finding it very irritating to deal with slow internet even after paying for fast internet. These days we all are using so many applications on our smartphones, tablets, and phablets that we tend to overuse them. You not only need a device that is a trendsetter but also a masterpiece of technology. We all love watching movies, song videos and different video clips on our portable device while traveling or when we do not have a computer with us. However this might not be possible all the time because your device does not support the file format or may be because the file size is too large. The solution would be to get an all in one media program like the Movavi
Samsung Galaxy S series is known for its most powerful smartphones and one of the similar is coming soon the Samsung Galaxy S6 and later the Samsung Galaxy S7 the beast. On other hand, Samsung is also taking the Galaxy A series forwards, we recently met with the younger members of the family completely metallic Samsung smartphones (A3 and A5), and now the big brother of the series – Samsung Galaxy A7 is also available world wide. Similar to other models of the line it got a body made from a single piece of aluminum, but still in front of us the biggest and most productive smartphone A-series. Samsung Galaxy A7 looks the same as the Galaxy A3 or A5, with the only exception that
Venturing into Real estate can give you an unbelievable and steady income when the approach towards real estate is correct. However not many people are aware about how the real estate market works and what are the ways to expand or enhance the current value of assets. Many people still believe the flipping a property is the best way to gain profits in real estate. Although flipping a property does generates a good enough profit but not many people understand how much extra profits that they can earn if they enhance the current assets and then resell the property. Similarly, when people think about houses for rent in Bangalore or other cities, giving a facelift to the property puts and extra edge to your property.
Looking for a smartphone or phablet, want to end your search in hurry then don't forget to look at the Galaxy Note 4 an amazing smartphone, the trendsetter and the masterpiece of technology. Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has one of the fastest chips of Snapdragon 805 Quad-Core ay 2.7 GHz or next version has Exynos 8-core chip. And the level of performance by these two chips are extreme but still Note 4 passes through flaws and in next version of Samsung Note 5 we could expect it would not repeat. The built in applications of Note 4 has passes through significant changes, for example brand application S Note is updated, innovation is the main function of the instantaneous capture text.

We have heard success stories about businesses that gained a lot through outsourcing. However, despite rapid advances in outsourcing solutions, some companies still encounter difficulty. Poorly managed outsourcing projects could badly affect the overall business operations. Here are problems companies may encounter when they outsource specific tasks to external companies. 1. Improper assessments of requirements: It is important for companies to regularly understand and determine functions that they need to outsource. Some of the most essential functions must be highly prioritized. Outsourcing services should know about the customers require. Instead of thinking what their clients need, outsourcing companies should actively seek suggestions and advices on things to improve. Without clear clarifications, it is possible for companies to outsource specific functions for the wrong reasons. 2.
There are countless times when we need to rush through our workdays feeling overwhelmed and edgy. It is particularly true when there are so many things we need to accomplish. The situation could force us to progress rapidly through our to-do list. Prioritizing our tasks could also be a challenging thing to do and suddenly we could confront a steady energy drain that derail our focus and sabotage our productivity. Energy drains typically affect busy businesspeople and they need to find ways to address this issue. Simple things like organizing our keys and sorting our files each day can be tedious. We could grab wrong keys and put files in wrong cabinets. This could result in confusion and reduced productivity. Possible energy drains could take
There is only one name that comes in our minds when we think about phablet and that is Samsung. Phablets are getting popular today and these are the intermediate sized gadgets between tablets and Smartphone thus naming phablets. Samsung Galaxy Note is the one best phablets, which are available in the market. Sony phablets are second in the race. Rumors of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 are already on its peaks. The Korean company is the one that is having something for everyone. And when it comes to phablets the company has offered a mid range phablet to its customers. Galaxy Grand first appeared in the market in 2013 and there were mid range hardware included according to its price range. There are 3 gadgets

BlueStar impressions after several months
Purchased a 48" bluestar RCS with chargrill. Here are some issues of which one might wish to be aware:
1. BS's broiler cycles for 2-3 minutes on then 4-5 minutes off (until the temperature drops enough for broiler to kick back on). If you're cooking something which requires more than 2-3 minutes to sear (which is frequently the case for myself), this is a problem since you'll spend more time baking the food than broiling. According to BS, they don't advise leaving the oven door ajar (to increase the broiler on-time) because the broiler element igniter will then burn out prematurely.
2. BS's chargrill doesn't put out adequate heat to grill food in a reasonable time, even on high. I love grilled veggies and meats but haven't used it much after the first few tries. Unlike a "normal" Weber-style grill, which I'm used to, the food is uncontained on top (no lid) so the burners should be hotter to compensate. The combination of #1 and #2 means that I'm now considering building an outdoor grill to sear food...exactly what I was hoping to avoid.
3. BS's rangetop burners have poor "turndown". For example, cooking oatmeal requires bringing to a boil then covering and simmering for 15 minutes. Even on low, the pot boils over when covered. Simmer burner is OK but there's only one and would rather not move the pot. I'm now in the market for a heat diffuser (piece of metal placed under pot), hoping this will solve the problem but it's inelegant.
Have you adjusted your burners to simmer at the lowest possible heat level without having the igniters clicking? It's very easy to do and will allow you to simmer on all burners rather than just the simmer one. I make rice or oatmeal for one on my 22k burner all the time. No boil overs at all
There's two videos on this link from bluestar's site:
Very easy to do and requires no special tools. Just make sure you use a strong thin screwdriver. Do not use an eyeglass repair screwdriver as it's not strong enough.
I've always heard to keep the door cracked while broiling so that the element stays lit. I'd think whether you burn out the igniter depends on how much you're broiling. For us, that's not much, and the igniter has lasted 7 years so far.
On adjusting the simmer level, it really is a long, thin screwdriver. I forget which one of mine actually fits- I may have had to buy one just for that. The only other challenge is getting the knobs off. Otherwise, as gtadross says, it's pretty simple.
About adjusting the burners: Be careful to to adjust them too low. Initially I adjusted them super duper low, just a bit above the point where the igniter clicks on to relight the burner.
That wasn't a great idea when I turned on my hood fan. The hood fan air turbulence caused my barely minimal flames to flicker and the igniter clicked. I adjusted it again by increasing the flame by a smidgen more and that fixed the clicking problem.
For the record, I have had to move a pot to the simmer burner when a regular burner on the lowest setting was still too much heat. (I own a 30" RCS from Costco.) This occurred when I needed to just barely maintain pressure in my pressure cooker (with a large aluminum bottom) , and also when I had a pot of chicken noodle soup that I wanted just barely to simmer.
I've got a 36" Bluestar - almost six years old. I encountered the whole boiling over thing, even with the simmer burner. So now there is a Lodge cast iron reversible griddle over the front burner and the rear simmer burner. I use it as a flat top and occasionally a griddle. If I want a really super low simmer I put a small cast iron burner plate on top of the griddle.
Keep in mind that on the BS ranges and range tops you can spin the grate so it sits on top of the built in feet to raise up the grate a bit higher as well. This will essentially lower the flame from the bottom of a pan and thus reduce the heat hitting it. I have used it to get a really low simmer on a some chocolate.
You can see how this is done if you aren't familiar with it in this video. It is right about the 1 minute mark in this video:

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Snake's alive... in a trash bin!
1.2-metre-long ball python discovered by neighbour
QUESTION: What wiggles, slithers and doesn't belong in a garbage bin? Answer: A 1.2-metre python.
It was not a laughing matter when a man taking out his trash about 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday made the surprising discovery. He immediately called 911.
The ball python was squirming inside a large garbage bin near apartments in the 200 block of Wellington Crescent. It had likely been in the bin for hours or possibly a few days.
A police dog team secured the snake inside a recycling bin until animal services officials arrived to take custody. Officials believe the snake was purposely dumped in the trash because broken pieces of a large aquarium were also found in the bin.
The lid was easily identifiable as the top to an aquarium for a reptile, complete with large air holes covered in screen and the remnants of a hinge on one side. Inside the broken half of the aquarium's bottom were wood shavings from the base of the habitat. Half of a latch could be seen on the wood frame of the aquarium.
Animal services' chief operating officer Leland Gordon said the python would likely not have survived for long, considering the nights are still cold.
"When someone gets a pet, that's a lifelong commitment to that animal. You don't put snakes in Dumpsters. You find a home for that animal," Gordon told a news conference.
He said the snake is now "happy and warm" and under a heat lamp while the investigation continues.
Ball pythons can be legally owned in the city, but require specialized care, including a humid habitat with both warm and cool areas.
They are native to western and west-central Africa, are constrictors and are not venomous. They are called ball pythons because they coil around their heads into a ball when frightened. In captivity, they can live up to 30 years. They can be finicky eaters in captivity and need to be fed every seven to 10 days, their main diet consisting of rodents.
If the snake had not been discovered, Gordon said it could have slithered out of the garbage bin and would have no doubt given residents quite a fright if spotted on a nearby sidewalk or street.
"It's not very often we see a stray snake like this," he said. "We're glad it didn't get out and a child didn't encounter it on the street. There's a portion of our community that's terrified of snakes."
Police are continuing their investigation and say charges could be laid under the Animal Care Act if they confirm the snake was deliberately discarded.

Pointing, like eye gaze, is a deictic gesture that can be used to orient the attention of another person towards an object or an event. Previous research suggests that infants first begin to follow a pointing gesture between 10 and 13 months of age. We investigated whether sensitivity to pointing could be seen at younger ages employing a technique recently used to show early sensitivity to perceived eye gaze. Three experiments were conducted with 4.5- and 6.5-month-old infants. Our first goal was to examine whether these infants could show a systematic response to pointing by shifting their visual attention in the direction of a pointing gesture when we eliminated the difficulty of disengaging fixation from a pointing hand. The results from Experiments 1 and 2 suggest that a dynamic, but not a static, pointing gesture triggers shifts of visual attention in infants as young as 4.5 months of age. Our second goal was to clarify whether this response was based on sensitivity to the directional posture of the pointing hand, the motion of the pointing hand, or both. The results from Experiment 3 suggest that the direction of motion is necessary but not sufficient to orient infants' attention toward a distal target. Infants shifted their attention in the direction of the pointing finger, but only when the hand was moving in the same direction. These results suggest that infants are prepared to orient to the distal referent of a pointing gesture which likely contributes to their learning the communicative function of pointing.

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. consumer prices were flat in January from December for the second month in a row, the latest sign inflation is in check. That could give the Federal Reserve leeway to continue its efforts to stimulate growth.
The consumer price index has risen 1.6 percent in the 12 months ending in January, the Labor Department said Thursday. That's down from a 2.9 percent pace a year ago.
Excluding the volatile food and energy categories, core prices rose 0.3 percent in January. Core prices have risen 1.9 percent in the past year, below the Fed's inflation target. That's also down from the 2.3 percent pace in the same month a year ago.
The Fed is purchasing $85 billion in Treasurys and mortgage bonds each month in an effort to keep interest rates low. Last month, some Fed policymakers expressed concern the purchases could eventually cause inflation or disrupt bond markets, according to minutes of the Fed's Jan. 29-30 meeting released Wednesday.
But most private economists see little sign that prices are increasing at a troubling rate.
"As long as inflation readings remain relatively constrained and inflation expectations do not get out of control, the (Fed) has plenty of runway to continue its program," Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at brokerage BTIG, said in a note to clients.
Food prices were flat last month after rising for 10 straight months. And energy costs, which include gasoline, dropped 1.7 percent.
The relief at the pump ended in recent weeks, with prices rising steadily this month. Higher gas prices will likely push up measures of inflation in February, though economists expect overall price increases to stay mild.

The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
Philip was not there but his friend Marianne. Everything was very uncomplicated. We enjoyed to stay there for 3 nights.
Although this Airbnb listing is posted by Philip, you may actually be staying with his friend, Marianne. This was communicated to me and my wife before we booked, so there weren't any surprises.
Marianne is a private events coordinator, with a lot of knowledge about things to do in Barcelona. She was very open and willing to suggest places to visit, even booking us a table at an awesome restaurant on our last night in the city. You'll doubtless get along with her just fine -- she's a very easy-going hostess.
The apartment is located well enough in the city. We were able to walk most places (La Rambla and La Sagrada Familia were walkable, at least), with an entrance to the metro system only a few blocks away. If you prefer taxis, the street is frequented by them, so that shouldn't be a problem, either. There's also a La Caixa office across the street, in case you want to purchase/pick up tickets to venues in the city. That came in handy when we went to La Sagrada Familia.
I do need to note, however, that the apartment can get loud. There was some kind of event going on next door (obviously not Philip's/Marianne's fault) that seemed as though it was happening in our room. There is also a lightwell next to the room which echoes sound very easily. It may be a good idea to bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper.
Philip wasn't there while I was, but a friend of his was and she was a very good host. Relaxed and polite. The apartment is on the top floor, which helps keep the noise levels down and the veranda is nice to sit on.
Very enjoyable stay - thanks!
The reservation was canceled 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
I had great time there, and friendly host ! I had a lot of fun !
Thank fot a great hospitality
Philip was a perfect host, the appartment was great and as described. A very quiet room (given that Spain usually is a not so quiet country). Would always come back and highly recommend it.

Amy Pascal Is Leaving Sony
Wherever you go, you KNOW Amy Pascal is going to keep her passwords locked UP!
Just months after he whole Interview debacle/Korean hacking/everything else that made these execs look bad, the movie mogul is leaving Sony to set up her own production firm, Daily Mail reports:
Pascal, 56, was targeted during a cyber attack on the movie studio ahead of the release of the Kim Jong-un assassination comedy The Interview, which saw a string of her emails leaked – including one in which she made an embarrassing jibe about President Obama.
While Sony eventually made the decision to release the film, starring Seth Rogen and James Franco, online and in theaters, grossing about $18 million on its opening weekend in December, Pascal still had to deal with the fallout from the scandal.
Pascal's production venture will be based at Sony and today, in a statement released just hours after Daily Mail Online revealed Sony execs were working on an exit strategy for the chair, Pascal said: 'I have spent almost my entire professional life at Sony Pictures and I am energized to be starting this new chapter based at the company I call home.

In making your website successful, you need to carefully pick the calgary web design company you should hire. It isn't enough to decide on by design only. There are also more things to consider. If you have an attractive design then odds are more people are drawn to it. However, you should also look at the possibility that not all attractive styles can reel in potential traffic. It is very tempting to continue and pick out the best looking design out there but it will be no good it the design does not meet your purpose for the product or service which you sell.Another option you might consider would be to not choose depending on the price. Online there are plenty of prices when it comes to web design plus some can be cheaper than others. Price ranges can nevertheless fool you. Generally when you want top quality web design you need to at least choose the medium or the high rated ones. This is where searching for forums to find the best website design companies will help you out. You will find community boards to help you when picking out the kind of website design to choose. Ensure that you understand what your goals are. How much do you want your website to continue at? Is your web site just starting? What's your plan on the next weeks or days? This will be significant because you will have to know what resources you'd demand for future and when what you spend now will fit your budget. You will find web designing firms that can provide you more than one kind of service. On the internet, you would need to have good strategy to get a benefit over others.
Benchmarking can also be a very important factor you should consider. There is nothing better than understanding what your opponents have in store. Despite the fact that you won't want to take a look at rival sites, it is important which you also know what their methods are. Try to see if the website design firm features a portfolio of their services that you can check out. You might even have an idea on what you would want the firms to accomplish. They could offer content management even on mobile devices along with other associated types of media. It's also wise to examine what program the company uses. You can always search online about the programs to gain knowledge about them.Learn how the web design company can complete the websites to suit your needs. Determine if the company does it all independently or if additionally they outsource their skills. You will probably find that there are staff focused on programming, website design, advertising or even analysis. You could decide to hire a specialist or also hire one company in general. There may even be packages that you can consider. Generally packages can save you a lot more cash than separately choosing people what to do in your website. Always think positive, constantly think forward.

What's the relation between the driver's age and insurance quotes?
Auto insurance quotes can vary greatly as they depend on numerous factors. Some of these factors are more obvious while other may raise an eyebrow in customers who don't share the insurance providers' logic. And some of these factors may even seem a bit discriminatory. Such is the status of driver's age, which is a topic for heated debate between customers and insurers. The thing is that depending on your age only you can get very different auto insurance quotes while choosing the same amount of coverage for the same car. At times the discrepancy can be double the amount, so it really gives a headache to certain groups of drivers who are unfortunate to be of a certain age. But before you start arguing with your provider it is recommended to learn why exactly it is so.
Insurers regard the driver's age as a determining factor for their driving skills and experience. This link is based on the statistical data accumulated throughout the decades and thousands of auto insurance claims settled. The rule of thumb is that the older is the driver the less likely he or she is to produce an accident due to the accumulated driving experience. Of course, as with any rule there are many exceptions, and there is also a point when age starts to deliver a negative effect on driving skills. But since the majority of distinct age group representatives correspond to this rule, auto insurance providers charge people differently depending on their age.
The most vulnerable group of drivers in this perspective are the teens aged below 25 years. According to general statistics, young drivers tend to be more aggressive in traffic and produce more accidents due to lack of skills and experience. That's why they always get the highest auto insurance quotes. Another vulnerable group is comprised of the elderly drivers aged over 65. At that point people start developing conditions that decrease their reaction speed and awareness, so more accidents are produced because of that. Still, while getting high auto insurance quotes, senior drivers usually get good discounts from insurance providers to neglect the negative financial impact of costly insurance.
The group that benefits the most from their age are adult drivers aged between 30 and 55. It is the most productive period of life for many people when enough experience is accumulated for being a safe driver. But as previously mentioned, it doesn't necessarily mean that all drivers of that age are perfect drivers. And there may be other factors involved rather than age when calculating auto insurance quotes for them.
Peculiarities of non-owners car insurance policies
Driving is a privilege. When you do something to have your license revoked it is usually a game changer. You might feel trapped, as if you are no longer independent. Yes, you can ride the bus, walk, ride a bike, or ask friends and family to get your form here to there. By the time you have the chance to get your license back you are ready to do almost anything.
You will probably have paid a hefty fine, and may even need to take a safe driving course. (The safe driving course should help you secure relatively cheap car insurance.) For most states, the 'almost anything' is proof of liability insurance. You will probably need proof of insurance in order to get your license re-instated even if you no longer own a car. Generally, you will need to carry that insurance for at least 3 to 5 years despite not owning a vehicle. In that time you are required to buy a non-owners car insurance policy , sometimes called a SR-22. SR-22 is the document that some states require you to carry at all times when you are driving, along with your license.
Most insurance companies sell non-owners policies. They usually go to people who have lost their license, or someone who travels a lot and uses rental cars, borrowed vehicles, or vehicles they do not own for several days a month or multiple weeks per year.
Non-owners auto insurance policies are a liability policy. You are insured for any damage to property or to a person that you inflict resulting from a collision you caused. Like all auto insurance you pick the maximums you think are best for your situation. Remember that liability limits mean that is the maximum dollar amount that the insurance company will pay for a claim, not the maximum amount awarded, or total costs of an accident. If you choose a policy that has maximums below the actual costs, what you own privately may be used for compensation to the injured parties.
SR-22 or non-owners policy is not a collisions policy. It does not cover the cost of repair to the car that you were driving. Nor do they cover an automobile that is registered in your name or one that the owner's residence is the same as yours.
If you recently re-gained your license and is ready for a cheap car insurance purchase, ask if the companies you are reviewing line with the SR-22 requirements of your state.
Reasons For Volunteering
Reasons For Volunteering
Many thousands of people all around the world choose to give up some of their spare time to help charities and causes close to their hearts. There are all sorts of ways people can volunteer, and for many, the tangible and immediate difference their efforts make to their chosen organisation is really appealing. Its not just about helping out at the latest fundraiser however, there are many other reasons that people volunteer:
Getting to know people in your local community.
Volunteering often allows you to meet and work alongside like-minded people in your local community. Working for a particular cause means that you are very likely to meet others who share your interests. Very close friendships are formed through volunteering… and some even find romance!
Improving your local area.
If you volunteer locally particularly with environmental and community charities there are often very tangible benefits right on your own doorstep.
Volunteering helps to build the sort of communities we want to live in.
Learning new skills and developing existing ones.
The skills you learn volunteering can often be applied in other areas of your life. It also allows you to use your existing talents and abilities in new, creative and interesting ways. It also helps to develop your confidence and social skills.

So there you are there are always loads of volunteering opportunities out there: just waiting for someone like you. What are you waiting for?

Don't overlook such car insurance cost factors as car and passenger safety
When checking car insurance quotes many drivers aren't very conscious about the pricing mechanisms involved. Most of them tend to think that the rates they are charged with are determined by the insurer in a rather chaotic manner. Of course, it is quite the opposite since insurance companies use strict rules and formulas when calculating car insurance quotes. Many factors are used in the process, some of which the car owners simply overlook when looking for a quote. And that's not the best way to shop around for car insurance if you want to get affordable rates. Surprisingly, one of the most commonly overlooked aspects of car insurance is car safety and security, which can play a crucial role in your final rates. Let's look a bit deeper into this aspect to learn why it's so important.
The aspect of security involves two categories: vehicle security and passenger safety. Vehicle security is associated with the risk of car being stolen or broken into and is affected by different factors such as local auto theft rates, the car's security features, the place of car's storage and others. Passenger safety determines the risk of the people inside the car getting severely injured in course of an accident and involves a whole set of variables including car model safety rating, factory-installed security features, overall passenger safety and others. Depending on these two variables your car insurance quotes may be higher or lower, since they determine the risk and amount of coverage the insurer faces when insuring your car. And it's evident that if you take steps to improve these features you will be able to get more affordable insurance rates.
Improving the security and safety of your car
To improve the safety and security of your vehicle in fact is not so difficult as you may think. Well, it's true, when buying a car that had all the blows and whistles coming straight from the factory, you'll have to pay more for the extras. But you can also install additional devices on your own. For example, getting a better alarm system or additional seatbelts for your car won't be that costly. But it sure will affect your car insurance quotes in a very positive way. The more features you introduce, the more pronounced the effect of improved safety and security will be. Still, you should always ask your insurance provider about which gadgets and features they will license and take into account and which won't affect your rates. You don't want to waste your money in vain, don't you?
Volunteering in Africa
Volunteering in Africa
"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page." – Mark Twain. Most volunteers who go abroad, like to volunteer in places where they feel they can make a difference. This is what makes volunteering abroad a noble choice for many. Apart from volunteer work, there are also a number of other things that one can do in these countries. Here we will look at a number of countries in Africa and what one can do while volunteering in these countries.
First off we look into volunteering in Kenya. Kenya has a lot to offer a volunteer not just in terms of volunteer work but also as a tourist destination. First off on your arrival to the capital city Nairobi you will be eager to visit the Nairobi national park, only a few kilometers away from the Nairobi town center. While in Kenya you can trek the snow heights of mount Kenya, visit Fort Jesus in Mombasa, a Portuguese fort, built in The 1593,visit the ancient Gedi ruins, a historical town founded in the 13th century, do some water rafting and enjoy the sandy beaches, all within your volunteer visit.
Next up we move to West Africa, where we have Ghana.
Ghana being one of the faster growing democracies in Africa at the moment has a lot to of tour sites available to anyone who travels there. All from your arrival at the capital in Accra, you can head to visit the Nkuruma mausoleum. In addition to the mausoleum you can go to any number of these famous attractions; Elmina Castle which was a slave trading, shipping center for the slave trade to America ,the West-African museum at Cape Coast Castle , Kakum National Park with its canopy walk, the oldest mosque in West-Africa at Larabanga, the waterfall at Kintampo , sail with the ferry from Akosombo all the way up north on the Volta lake, visit the lagoons in the Volta estuary ,take a visit to Navrongo with its Roman Catholic Cathedral made out of clay and spend some time on their lovely beaches from Half Assini till Aflao .
South Africa has many beautiful places that a volunteer can visit. Doing volunteer work in Africa's leading economy comes with a number of attraction's that can help take your mind off of any stress you may have as a result of your volunteer work. South Africa has within it numerous sites such as the Kruger national park, which has more species of wildlife than any other one in Africa, taking in the view along the Garden Route, which runs along the beautiful coastline in south-western Cape. The narrow coastal plain is also well forested, and mostly bordered by extensive lagoons. You can also make a visit to the cape wine yards, or drive down to the Kwa Zulu natal coast for scuba diving and snorkeling, among other numerous tourist attractions in the country.
Lastly we take a look at Morocco in the northern end of the continent. While in Morocco then one of the best places you can visit during your volunteer work are the imperial cities of Marrakech, Fes and Meknes. Other than these famous attractions, one can take Sahara desert tours, trek through the atlas mountains, or if you enjoy beaches and the ocean just make shore excursions from Casablanca, Tangier and Agadir ports.

Hollywood actor Zac Efron will always be remembered for the High School Musical movies but he has certainly shaken off the Disney image now. Zac has appeared in a number of more grown up roles and will next appear on the big screen in the movie At Any Price, which has just released its first official poster.
At Any Price centres around a young man (Efron) who has a dream of becoming a racing driver, while his farmer father would like him to one day take over the family business. When the farm comes under investigation, father and son join forces to do whatever it takes to make sure that they keep the family business alive.
As well as starring Zac Efron, At Any Price also stars Dennis Quaid, Heather Graham, Kim Dickens, Clancy Brown, Chelcie Ross, Maika Monroe, Red West, Ben Marten, and Dan Waller. At Any Price has been written and directed by Ramin Bahrani and will open on limited release in the US on April 26.
You can check out Zac Efron in the full new At Any Price Poster Here! And feel free to sound of about the forthcoming movie in the comments section below.

This year, the University of Illinois at Chicago selected Christopher B. Burke, to give the commencement address to the College of Engineering.
Burke, PhD, PE, D.WRE, Dist. M.ASCE, has been a Professor of Practice in the Department of Civil and Materials Engineering at UIC since 2002. He teaches courses related to water resources and design. He has funded UIC student scholarships, faculty teaching awards and a presentation of competition for doctoral students. In 2006, he and his wife, Susan, funded the rehabilitation of UIC's Water Resources Lab.
"It was an honor to address these engineering students and their families," Burke said. "I have the utmost respect for these students and their work ethic. They believe in hard work and are great representatives of UIC in the world of engineering."
Commencement took place on May 10 at the UIC Pavilion. More than 750 engineering degrees were awarded.
In his introductory remarks, Dean Peter Nelson pointed out that Burke agreed to teach one semester which has lead to 13 years of teaching at UIC. In addition he has chosen to not take a salary and instead has asked that those funds go toward a student scholarship.
"Not only has Chris been teaching but he also is one of our student's favorite professors and receives the highest student review scores in his department," Nelson said.
Burke holds Bachelor's, Master's and Doctorate degrees in Civil Engineering from Purdue University. He started Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. (CBBEL) in 1986 located in Rosemont.
This past year, Burke was awarded the Distinguished Member of American Society of Civil Engineers. He also was awarded ASCE's Edmund Professional Recognition Award, President's Lifetime Achievement Award from the Purdue Engineering Alumni Association and received APWA's Top Ten Leader of the Year Award.

Come See Baby Chicks Hatching In Our Living Room!
As promised, my husband and I have set up a live webcam so you guys can watch chicken eggs hatch into cute fluffy chicks! :)
The link to the live webcam is below. We chose to use the Stickam site, hopefully it can handle the bandwidth demands. The Chickam will mostly be operating during the daylight hours at first for the incubator (we turn off the lights at bedtime), then 24 hours when we move it to the brooder box. The color camera is a playstation2 EyeToy usb camera, but there will not be sound with the picture, and no camera controls for viewers.
Watching baby chicks hatch is fascinating and fun for all ages. We currently have 46 assorted chicken eggs in a Little Giant still-air incubator, scheduled to hatch out late Saturday night, April 26 and Sunday, April 27, 2008. But they may jump the gun a bit and start hatching anytime Saturday, so the cam is live now! The eggs are all from our backyard flock of mixed breed chickens here in suburban Los Angeles, California.
The camera will first be on one of the viewing windows (hence the kinda foggy look)of the incubator so you can watch the chicks hatch, then on the brooder box so you can see them run, play and interact with each other. We plan on having the camera operating until at least Wednesday, April 30th, possibly two more days beyond that. This is assuming the eggs hatch--we have not candled them, so we may have zero hatch, we may have ALL of them hatch, or anywhere in between. This incubator has worked well for us in the past though, so we see no reason why it would fail now.
Chicken eggs need 21 days of incubation in order to hatch. The breeds represented in this batch of eggs are below, the mother hens' name is in parenthesis, and if I knew which hen was mom, I wrote her name on her eggs:
2 Buff Orpington (Betty) ~~large brown eggs~~
8 New Hampshire (Maggie) and/or Kraienkoppe (Baby) ~~smaller brown eggs~~
5 Buff Laced Polish (Sugar) ~~long white eggs~~
6 White Crested Black Polish (Poof) ~~round white eggs~~
7 Blue Wheaten Americaunas (Louise)~~round, pale blue eggs~~
2 Unknown breed (Bear) ~~large, army-green eggs~~
2 Jersey Giant/ Americaunas mix (Skitters) ~~smaller, olive green eggs~~
2 Frizzled Buff Cochin (Moet) ~~small beige eggs~~
1 Black Silkie (Fuzz) ~~small beige eggs~~
1 Kraienkoppe (Baby)~~small brown eggs~~
2 Buff Cochin (Chicken Sister) ~~small beige eggs~~
4 Asst. Bantam (?) ~~small beige eggs~~
3 Asst. Americaunas (?) ~~large greenish-blue eggs~~
The fathers of the chicks are our Blue Wheaten Americaunas/Barred Rock mix standard size rooster and our Belgian d'uccle MilleFleur/Frizzle mix bantam rooster. The 'X' and 'O' marks you see on the eggs were used to tell which eggs we'd turned during the incubation process. The eggs have to be turned by hand three times a day for the entire 21 days, and you need to be able to tell at a glance which ones have been turned and which haven't! During the initial stage of hatching, the eggs will rock back and forth and move a bit, and faint peeping can be heard. Then the chick will 'pip', which means it pecks a little hole in the eggshell. After that, it will continue to pip, working in a circle until it has pipped all the way around the wide end of the egg. The amount of time it takes from first pip to a fully hatched out chick can be a matter of minutes or hours, even as much as a day.
Fresh chicks are exhausted, wet and helpless for a few hours, but as they dry out in the incubator they will become more steady on their feet and will soon be running around, bumping into other chicks and eggs. This is normal.
We will be opening the incubator from time to time to remove dry chicks and place them in the brooder box. Once we get most of them into the brooder box, we will switch the camera to it. Here's what a previous hatch looked like--this is NOT the current hatch:
The brooder box is just a large cardboard box gleaned from a local furniture store, with wood shavings underfoot, a heat lamp overhead to keep the chicks warm, and food and water. The chicks will live in this box in our living room, with occasional trips outdoors, for the first two months of their lives, until they are old enough to join the flock outside. We plan on keeping a few of the chicks, the rest we will take to our local feed store for them to resale.
For us this is a trying time...we can't help but worry, LOTS of things can go wrong during the incubation process and hatch that can prove fatal to the chick. It takes superhuman restraint to resist assisting a chick who is struggling to hatch. You have to just trust in Mother Nature A LOT and keep your damned hands outta there!
We hope you will enjoy the chicks! I'll be happy to answer any chicken questions, and I'll post updates when new chicks hatch. The picture isn't the best, and is heavily pixelated, but it's still fun. Here's a link to the cam:
Velvet Sparrow, this is so cool! I just checked in (7:50 pm EST) and it looks like no action yet, but I bookmarked the page so I can check back regularly.
I was going to add a few store-bought chicks this spring, but then I decided to let my hens hatch a few if they decide to go broody. I am missing having peeps around. I cannot imagine, however, if you have a 75 percent hatch, having all those stinky, dusty, noisy chicks in your living room for two months! As cute as they are, I'd be inclined to move them out to the barn way sooner than that!
Good luck! I hope we'll see some pipping soon!
Well, we'll be keeping some, but a lot are going to go to our local feed store for them to resale. We know and trust them to take good care of any birds we take in. :)
The hard part is selecting which chicks to keep, and trying to avoid keeping any roo boys!
Velvet ~:>
Yes, if there's a trick to avoiding the roos, please share it with the rest of us! That's my worry with letting the hens go broody.
Looks like you have a wonderful collection of hens, so I bet you get some neat chicks from those eggs.
How exciting! what a neat idea! I can't wait to see how things progress :)
ps. we've pretty much got the "helping" thing down. If the chick starts pippling and hasn't hatched after 24 hours we help them out. This past batch we actually saved one that hadn't even pipped but was past due. It turned out on the two we helped the membrane and shell were super tough, there was no way those little fuzzles could have made it out on their own. They are now doing very well! I know most people discourage the above practice but we got too sick about all the fully formed dead chicks that never made it... nature can be cruel.
Well, things aren't looking good, here. :(
No pipping or hatching yet, I'm really afraid this is going to be a 100% failure. It was 21 days at 9:30PM last night. It figures, since we went to all the trouble of setting up a webcam to share the experience!
We're going to leave the eggs in the incubator until Wednesday, and if this batch doesn't work we'll try again. It may be that it's time for a new 'bator, this one is around 6 years old.
Velvet ~:>
Well, we just found out that the incubator thermometer is giving a false reading of 100 degrees when it is actually 94.3 in there. None of the eggs even developed. So we're getting a new thermometer tomorrow and trying again with fresh eggs.
At least it wasn't the incubator, cause that really had me scratching my head. Still, no cute fuzzies tonight. :(
In three weeks, there WILL be hatching eggs! I'll start a new post when we are SURE of chicks.
Velvet ~:>
The next batch is due to hatch this coming Saturday, the 24th! :) We'll have the cam running again, have found a better site to host it, too.
We got a new thermometer for the old 'bator, and we have the old and new incubators running side by side, new on the left, old on the right:
I was amused by how little the design of the new incubator had changed since we bought the old one years ago. The new one has a bunch of eggs, the old just a few:
Disregard the thermometers in the old 'bator, we took those out and installed a new one, not pictured here. The cam will be pointed at the new incubator, that's why the eggs in it are numbered--people on another site were betting on which egg would hatch first, so this time we numbered them. *G*
On Wednesday we are going to candle the eggs--some of those eggs have ridiculously strong, thick shells and are dark to boot, so we had to wait until this week to candle.
I'll let everyone know when and where the cam is up & running in plenty of time for the hatch. So hopefully cute little balls of fluff on Saturday! :)
Velvet ~:>
velvet, Good luck with this new batch.
I showed my 12 yr old daughter the pic of your incubaters and she asked why do you use an incubator if you have mother hens.
I guessed it was because you didn't want different aged chicks all at the same time. Was I close to correct ;)
PS: My ten day old chicks are doing great. its amazing to watch the mother hen teach them everything they need to know.
Broody hens ARE far superior! :) But I promised my daughter and a bunch of the neighborhood kids that they could watch the chicks hatch. It's a way cool experience. Also, I wanted to do the Chickam thing, and mama hens keep their feathered little butts clamped down over those eggs so you can't tell when actual hatching is going on.
Lastly, I have some leg bands ready--I'm looking to keep only a few of the chicks, and I am after specific chicks from specific moms, so I need to see who hatches from which egg. :)
Besides, the last time I let a broody hen hatch 5 eggs...she hatched FIVE ROOSTERS!
Velvet ~:>
^^^ Hahaha...I once had to buy eggs at the market while my girls were molting, I brought them home and made a point to show the eggs to the girls to remind them what they looked like. Laying started up again shortly thereafter. :)
Well...we checked both incubators and candled the eggs we could see into last night. A lot of them were clear, especially the Polish eggs. :( But I don't see my Polish ladies getting much action from my roos, the dumb boys!
Other eggs have chicks, but I could not tell if they were alive or not, and how fully formed they are.
No peeping or activity yet from any of the eggs, but they aren't due to hatch until beginning at 8PM Saturday night. If none of these hatch, I don't know what to think...I know that both of my roo boys are getting their job done and I don't think they have fertility issues, they are healthy fellas.
We did change locations for the incubators this year, to my dining room table, in a corner of a room away from windows and doors to help protect from drafts. I THOUGHT I had a great spot, but if this batch doesn't work I'm going back to putting the darned things in the kitchen. :(
On top of everything else, we are having weird weather here since yesterday, supposed to continue until Tuesday--wind, rain/hail, and tornadoes, of all things! If the power goes out, I have my broody hen contingency plan...Bear, Splash and Blue are all broody and would get to sit on the eggs. :)
We checked the cam last night and have it all set up and ready to go, if hatching begins we'll fire it up and I'll notify everyone.
Time will tell!
Velvet !:>
