These pads combine the benefits of Air pads, Self-Inflating pads and/or closed-cell foam pads.
Ideal for hikers who are willing to sacrifice a little comfort for a lighter weight and smaller stuff size.
Extreme lightweight pads for hikers and climbers who care far more about light weight and small stuff size than they do about comfort.
Thicker pads provide more insulation in cold weather and more cushioning comfort in warm weather.
Mattresses fine-tuned to maximize women's sleeping comfort.

If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man
You win some, lose some, it's -all- the same to me
The pleasure is to play, it makes no difference what you say
I don't share your greed, the only card I need is
The Ace Of Spades, Botox!
Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil,
Going with the flow, it's all a game to me,
Seven or Eleven, snake eyes watching you,
Double up or quit, double stakes or splits,
The Ace Of Spades, Botox!
You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it babe,
I don't wanna live forever
Pushing up the ante, I know you've got to see me,
Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again,
I see it in your eyes, take one look and die,
The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be,

This holiday season, you can give a gift that will save someone's life. This gift doesn't cost you a penny, only a few minutes of your time.
One Oklahoma woman is grateful she received this gift – the gift of donated blood - which saved her life. Amy Granados is the mother of three. The 34-year-old works as a legal secretary at McAfee and Taft in Oklahoma City. Her husband, Maurice, has worked as a monitor tech for the Health System for the past three years.
After dealing with severe abdominal pain that left her in tears, Amy decided it was time to figure out what was going on with her health. She went to Norman Regional Hospital's Emergency Room and from there was admitted to the hospital.
Amy was taken to the fifth floor where doctors monitored her and ran tests to diagnosis the problem behind her symptoms and her pain. During her hospital stay Amy's blood count dropped significantly.
"My blood platelet count went from 248,000 to 148,000," Amy recalled. "The next day it dropped even lower to 71,000."
From test results, Dr. Tariq Mahmood revealed to Amy she had contracted a rare blood syndrome known as thrombocytopenia or TTP. When a person has TTP, their body begins to destroy red blood cells and platelets, and excessive blood clots are produced which can damage the kidneys and nervous system. Platelets are essential to blood clotting and, if they are in short supply, bleeding may occur that can become life-threatening.
Amy was in the process of kidney failure.
"When I got the diagnosis I didn't really fully understand what was going on. But I knew that before long, someone from the Oklahoma Blood Institute was there hooking me up to a crazy looking machine," Amy said.
Physicians and nurses at Norman Regional knew exactly what would help Amy. Within two hours of diagnosis OBI technicians were at Amy's bedside with a plasmapheresis machine. The machine separates plasma from the fluid portion of the blood in a process called therapeutic plasma exchange. The red and white blood cells are returned, while the contaminated plasma is discarded and replaced with other fluids. OBI is the only organization in the region that can provides plasma exchange.
"I had lost so much blood by this point," Amy said. "When OBI got there, they brought in this machine and cleaned out my blood. They put in a coagulant, and added donor plasma back into my body."
This treatment was repeated ten times over during Amy's 24 day stay. OBI donors provided eight units of blood and 138 units of plasma. By making the choice to donate, 140 people saved Amy's life and she is eternally grateful and encourages you to make the life saving choice to donate.
"Donors saved my life. In the small amount of time it takes you to donate, you are giving someone else an entire lifetime. Please donate," Amy said.

Family members |
Geoffrey Swan was the husband of Helen Swan; the father of Charlie Swan, and the grandfather of Bella Swan. He became the grandfather-in-law of Edward Cullen after his marriage to Bella, and the great-grandfather of Renesmee Cullen.
He had never appeared in the series.
It is mentioned in The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide that he and Helen assumed they could not have children, so Charlie was an unexpected, but very welcome, surprise. He and Helen were in their mid-40s when their son was born.
By the time Charlie reached adulthood, their health began to deteriorate and worsened through the years: Geoffrey's mobility was being curtailed by severe arthritis and Helen suffered from Alzheimer's disease. Their conditions worsened when his daughter-in-law, Renée was pregnant with Bella. He needed Charlie's help with Helen every day. When Renée left with Bella, Charlie stayed in Forks to take care of his parents.
Four years after Charlie's and Renée's divorce, he passed away, and then his wife, too, leaving their son alone to deal with his life.

This question already has an answer here:
I feel that my time is better spent developing for the majority.
marked as duplicate by gnat, Kilian Foth, Jalayn, MichaelT, Jim G. May 28 '13 at 12:17This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question. |
It's just against the spirit of the web and against the common sense. P.S. Spoken by a user of the NoScript. |
As a developer I no longer worry about 1% of users who turn off Javascript. It is too time consuming and development time is too expensive to waste on such nonsense. AJAX saves an incredible amount of bandwidth which turns directly into $$$ savings, which makes profits higer. If I lose oneor two potential users of the site for every 100 users, those one or two lost users will cost a lot more in development than the potential income of they could ever bring in. Try turning off Javascript and logging into Facebook, it becomes a very broken website after that. If it's good enough for Facebook, its good enough for me. |
(And that's just the short list) When the solution isn't that hard, why not do it? Also, while you're at your JavaScript fiesta, don't forget to support sane keyboard navigation. |
Only on mission critical functionality Generally its a good idea to "degrade gracefully". However I would I would only concentrate on mission critical parts of your web application, to cater for situations when JavaScript may not be available. If its just "bells & Whistles" effects, then no don't bother. People who deliberately surf with out JavaScript will just have to make do a plain experience (hey that's their choice for not using Js) |
No, you shouldn't With two exceptions:
Yes. I'm not going to talk about people with NoScript, embedded devices, etc. Their share can be measured and then you can decide if revenue decrease caused by annoying e.g. 0.5% users worths implementing a solution for them. But there are other reasons to follow Progressive Enhancement principle, and they are often more important.
It is actually quite easy to follow Progressive Enhancement principle so why don't follow it? |
Why would you use JavaScript? It's not necessary for anything useful anyway. Add it for silly effects if you want, but make it work for us sitting on a new but slow netbook/iPod/whatever wanting it to work a little faster (and safer) by turning of JavaScript! |

Uniondale, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - The New York Islanders and goaltender Jaroslav Halak agreed to a four-year contract on Thursday.
Multiple reports state the new pact is worth $18 million for the duration with an average annual value of $4.5 million.
Halak, who was acquired from the Washington Capitals on May 1 in exchange for a fourth-round pick in the upcoming draft, is suiting up for his fourth team in two months. He was traded from St. Louis to Buffalo on March 1 as part of the deal that sent goaltender Ryan Miller to the Blues, then was shipped to America's capital four days later without playing a game for the Sabres.
The 29-year-old native of Slovakia compiled a record of 29-13-7 with a 2.25 goals-against average in 52 games with the Blues and Capitals this season. He has also played for Montreal and owns a career mark of 144-85-29 with a 2.38 GAA and 30 shutouts in 272 NHL games.
Halak, selected by Montreal in the ninth round of the 2003 draft, was set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer.
Also Thursday, the Isles announced they will retain their first-round selection and transfer their first-round pick in 2015 to the Buffalo Sabres.

Comments about Mens Newton Running Sir Isaac S Running Shoe: After switching from Kayano 20 to 21, I thought I might as well try more shoes and bought these + a pair of Saucony Hurricane 16 + a pair of Mizuno Wave Inspire 11, all being of stability type.
Cons Best Uses
Comments about Mens Newton Running Sir Isaac S Running Shoe: I'm a heavier runner and I tend to be a midfoot / forefoot striker. As a result, I've been battling a lot of injuries for the last 8 years. My Physical Therapist mentioned this shoe as I finished my last round of PT, and it has made a world of difference for me. This shoe compensates for my natural tendency to run "up on my toes", allowing me to do so without injuring myself. I'm back to running now and am enjoying myself more than ever. Totally a game changer for me. Slightly higher cost is more than offset by improved durability. Total winner.
Best Uses
Comments about Mens Newton Running Sir Isaac S Running Shoe: I had high hopes for these shoes but was severely disappointed. The shoes are comfortable, no problem there. My real complaint is the shoes are worn out in 100 miles. For what these shoes cost, I was expecting more. I'm going back to Brooks, then have done me well over the years.
Best Uses Comments about Mens Newton Running Sir Isaac S Running Shoe: I am a 60 year old runner, former high school and college cross country and track distance athlete, who ran pretty consistently until the early 90's, then stopped for a while, and started running again about 3 years ago. I've pretty much trained in Asics shoes since the 1980's, and really liked the Keyano, until the 18 and 19 disappointed me. I'm 6 feet and about 200 lbs., and a pronator. After buying and disliking the Keyano 19's, I started looking for a substitute. I bought a pair of Adidas Sequence 5's, and liked them. Someone told me about the Newton's, and after reading good reviews about them I also bought a pair of Motions, which weren't too shabby, for track and softer surface wear. Then I read some really good reviews about the Sir Isaac S shoes, and decided to try a pair for training. The first thing I noticed was that they were heavier than I had anticipated (the Motions were pretty light, and I thought the Isaacs might also have a lightweight feel, for a trainer). The fabric was not very breathable. I went on my first run (about 4.5 miles, some road, but mostly grassy river levee, park and golf course surface), and noticed that I could feel the lugs through the shoes. This made the bottom of my forefoot uncomfortable, and eventually produced a hot spot (more on the right foot than the left). The shoe did not feel like it had a very good stability feature. My left arch starting hurting after about 2 miles. Then my right outside low ankle started hurting after about 4 miles. Two days later I tried the shoes again (after running in my Sequence the day before). The arch burning and hot spot were back, and I had that same right ankle pain almost immediately. Also, the forefoot strike that the shoe promotes seemed to put a lot of stress on the insides and fronts of my knees. In short, my experience was very unpleasant. I returned the shoes, and am now waiting for a pre-order of Sequence 6's to come in. I'm also trying to find another good stability trainer (I'm not a minimalist or zero drop fan). After many years of being low maintenance and very pleased with almost every shoe I purchased, more recently it has become difficult to find a good stability trainer. I still miss the old Keyano's, the ones they made before Asics decided to follow the motto, "If it ain't broke, break it!"
Best Uses
Comments about Mens Newton Running Sir Isaac S Running Shoe: Shoe is made of very high quality materials. Expensive, but built to last. I find it runs just a bit short, would recommend going up 1/2 size than normal.
Cons Best Uses
Comments about Mens Newton Running Sir Isaac S Running Shoe: This shoe is amazing its the first running shoe that i really noticed the differance i always ran in gel kayano but from now on aim a newton fan i really love this shoe its fits nice with my orthotics and is a nice light feeling to run w/good stability !
Pros Cons Best Uses
Comments about Mens Newton Running Sir Isaac S Running Shoe: I am a 15-20 mile a week runner. Slow but steady, I have been building my endurance over the past 5 years of training. This shoe is absolutely a game changer. For some, shoes in truth really don't make a difference. For me the newton and the training videos on you tube have not only completely changed my running technique but have nursed a knee twist I suffered last year and never really got over with regular shoes. It is a no brainier to give this shoe a try with the 90 day guarantee. I am running in them for 6 weeks and am amazed by my progress to date.
Best Uses
Comments about Mens Newton Running Sir Isaac S Running Shoe: 2nd pair after a long run with Mizuno Nirvanas (excellent shoe)--found the Newton Sir Isaac S to be an excellent running shoe if your wanting to change to a forefoot running style. I realize everyone is different, but with me I lost running problems, injuries associated with being a heel-striker. Also I had a real issue with the big metatarsal on my left foot and with the newton SIs it has not been a problem. I just ordered my 3rd pair.

The paddlefish is a plankton eater that resembles prehistoric fishes. Common only in two Kansas rivers – the Marais des Cygnes and the Neosho – the paddlefish is taken by fishermen during the spring spawning runs, and then only during the special snagging season. Stocking paddlefish in Oklahoma's Kaw Reservoir and in Tuttle Creek Reservoir may bring the paddle-snouted fish back to some of its former range. The largest paddlefish on modern record weighed 144 pounds and measured 54 1/4". This is the Kansas record.

Bayleef made her first appearance in "The Chikorita Rescue" when she was a wild Chikorita who Ash and his friends came across while walking through the mountains. Despite her small size, she proved to Ash that she was very tough by defeating his Bulbasaur with a single Vine Whip.
She was stubborn, unwilling to give up and even went against very high odds to fight against Ash's Charizard despite the obvious type advantage. This in turn left her injured and although she wanted to continue fighting, she eventually fainted, forcing Ash and his friends to bring her to a Pokémon Center for treatment. Later on, Team Rocket kidnapped Chikorita and attempted to get her to join their side. However, Ash and Pikachu stopped them and were able to rescue Chikorita, resulting in the tiny Grass Pokémon developing respect for Ash. When Ash left the Pokémon Center, a heartbroken Chikorita, unwilling to be left behind with Nurse Joy ran up after him and begged him to take her with him. In mere seconds, Ash accepted and Chikorita officially joined his party much to her joy.
Chikorita later developed a crush on Ash and began constantly seeking his approval. Whenever she was released from her Poké Ball to engage in battle or stop Team Rocket, she always insisted on hugging Ash much to his discomfort.
It was later revealed in "Chikorita's Big Upset" that Chikorita was female and that she was jealous of Ash giving so much time to Pikachu which had in turn caused her to suffer from envy but she soon got over her worries and developed a friendship with Pikachu.
In the episode, "Current Events", Chikorita, distraught at seeing Ash taking several beatings from Team Rocket's Pokémon evolved into Bayleef to protect him. Not realizing her form had changed since she'd evolved, she kept attempting to jump into Ash's arms as if she was still small.
This caused her to accidentally knock Ash over on several occasions and Ash eventually snapped in "Turning Over a New Bayleef", angrily telling Bayleef to get away and stay away from him. His harsh words left Bayleef in tears and she ran away from Ash, her feelings hurt.
When Ash, Misty and Brock found her after spending many hours searching for her, she'd been taken in by a kind old woman but Bayleef's tears had turned to anger and she refused to accept Ash's apology and stayed put for the time being, refusing to give Ash any attention. Ash, guilty over his treatment decided to stay put in hopes of getting Bayleef to forgive him but she refused his offers, ignoring her and even refusing him. On such occassion, she even hit Ash with her leaf.
Team Rocket later showed up and captured Pikachu and Bayleaf before escaping. Ash then attempted to rescue the Pokémon from a glass cage yet Bayleef refused to help, still believing that her trainer didn't care for her. But after seeing Ash's efforts, she realized that Ash did care after all and her strength was enough to shatter the glass, setting the trapped Pokémon including herself and Pikachu free. After sending Team Rocket flying, she and Ash repaired their broken relationship with Bayleef learning Body Slam in the process.
Since evolving from Chikorita, Bayleef has still kept her longing feelings and crush for Ash which did end up getting her in trouble on several occasions. However after getting used to her size, she managed to become a vital part of Ash's team and helped win many Gym and League battles.
Ash left her at Professor Oak's Lab when he decided to make a fresh start when he left for Hoenn. In An Old Family Blend, Bayleef was one of the Pokémon Professor Oak sent to Ash and Bayleef tackled Barry when it got separated from Ash. However despite being called up, Bayleef didn't take part in the Lily of the Valley Conference.

+ indicates this Pokémon used this move recently.* - indicates this Pokémon normally can't use this move. |
- She is the first confirmed female Pokémon that Ash has captured.
- Like Ash's Pikachu, Butterfree, Kingler, Pidgeot, Lapras, Noctowl, Donphan, Buizel, Heracross and also his Charizard, Bayleef's original voice is not only used in the Japanese version of the anime but also the English language dub as well.
- Interestingly, while she was a Chikorita, she always said "Chika" instead of "Chikorita". This changed after she evolved into a Bayleef when she has started saying "Bay" despite her full name being Bayleef. (Except in Current Events, when she went "Chikori" when evolving.)
- Chikorita shares some similarities with James' Cacnea. Both are Grass-Types, both insist on hugging their trainers when sent into battle, both cause problems when they do, and both made an appearance in the Sinnoh region.
- Chikorita is the first Pokémon to develop a crush on Ash. The second will be a Meloetta later in Rival Destinies.

Just wanted to acknowledge post #32 (Bob/DirtyMoons) is correct. It was Carl Denham from King Kong. OK...back to Mike's clue from above, which I erroneously thought was solved.
So....back to the current clues:
Now since I messed up and skipped Mike - we acknowledge him here and his quote becomes the next one:

OK ....well on the Doc's since I didn't get an immediate confirmation I looked it up and I was right but my spelling was off....thanks for letting it count though!
Moneypenny says it...I just don't remember which one!
The Bond films could be hard since there are so many of them. I had to Google it to find out which one it was, so I disqualify myself on this one. Anyone know the exact Bond film title for Mike's quote?
I'm pretty sure it's a Pierce B. film, can't think of it without cheating though.

Last weekend I had big plans for the gigantic bag of organic lemons that had taken up residence on the bottom shelf of my fridge. Pushing thoughts of lemon bars, lemon curd, candied lemon peel, lemon sorbet, and lemon pie out of my head, I decided on lemon marmalade.
Since the title of this post wasn't "Lemon Marmalade" you can probably guess that something went wrong along the way. [Read more…]

I love these coasters they are solid and water proof they protect my coffee table when my glass sweats from the ice in it and the heat outside I wish I could afford more but being in Canada they are too expensive to have them shipped

very nice. very sturdy & heavy duty. look great and very stylish. go well next to my Dexter coaster set!

By SummerLH

I ordered these and they arrived chipped. I called the customer service line and they were very professional and explained they would have another set out to me asap. The other set arrived quickly but was once again chipped. I am getting ready to call again soooooo we will see.
Okay product, does the job
By dkrlea

I like everything about these coasters except for the printing of the artwork. It looks a bit blurry, as if the quality of the artwork used was not quite what was needed to print on this type of surface.
So cute!
By Fangbanger Mandy
from Indiana
The first time these were shipped to me they were all chipped and the latch on the box was broken. But as soon as I called customer service they sent me a new set and it was in perfect condition. The only down-side about these coasters is that the sweat from a glass can make it stick and cause it to slip.

text: Hi folks. I sometimes wonder if I was adopted. My love of pasta is not normal for a Canadian chick. Canadian chicks are supposed to dig things like poutine. I hate poutine. Yet I love pasta beyond measure. Cook me something with a noodle in it and it's a safe bet you've made me one happy chick. Which leads me to believe I'm adopted. I have daydreams about it. I mean I loved my folks, but I'm not going to lie, I think they may have paid handsomely to get me. I was meant to grow up on a farm … [Read more...]

I found a link to this PDF on the Ubuntu forums, and I thought it was right up our alley here at Phoronix. It would be cool to have possibly a more detailed, verifiable benchmark performed along these same lines. Here' the link:
I'm going to install Ubuntu 64-bit once I have a weekend to mess with it. Post if this link stops working anytime soon... I'll put the file up somewhere and change the link.
http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=8325While 64-bit support is now considered common for both Intel and AMD processors, many Linux (as well as Windows) users are uncertain whether to use a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system with there being advantages for both paths. With this being the last Phoronix article for 2006, we decided to take this opportunity to look at the common question of whether to use 32-bit or 64-bit software. In this article, we will be comparing the i386 and x86_64 performance with Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft and Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn Herd 1 to see how the numbers truly stack up.
If anyone is interested in any other benchmarks just let me know.
Not much benefit in running 64-bit at the moment which is the same thing I found myself. The only difference I found was encoding video was a bit faster on 64-but but everything else was pretty much the same like your article.
This leads me to believe that most code is not optimized enough for 64-bit yet.
Hopefully this will eventually change.
Thanks for the benchmarking, but could you try to repeat some of the tests from the pdf that have a greater "gain %"?
That way we would get an idea if the pdf results are just "strange" -- e.g. maybe the fact that the testing was done using livecd's somehow influenced the results, or if the apps chosen are more prone to speeding up on x86_64.
Appreciate the benchmark testing. I had no idea the differences were so slight even with 64bit enabled programs. I knew the advantage was mostly in number crunching because of the increased ram usage but I think I will stop fiddling with x86_64 for a bit as I'm not a coder or a tester.
It's probably for the best; it generally just causes me grief because of the codec/flash forced architectures and croots. These benchmarks are all the more valid to me because Ubuntu is my distro.
Way to go on the benchmarks, thanks for posting this. I'll be going with the Edgy 64-bit version once I get some time to go through the install. Here's a little more information on why I'll be going with a 64-bit OS (copied from another post I made a couple of weeks ago):
I've made some notes on what different OSes see as far as memory goes on my system. I should say the BIOS always says 4193216K unless I disable 'Memory Hole Remapping' (which it then reports 3327MB some reason). The following numbers are all taken from within the OS while the BIOS says 4GB:
Edgy 64-bit: 4047512K
Edgy 32-bit: 3369216K
WinXP 32-bit: 3406252K
Edgy64 shows the most memory at around 3.8GB (still not the full 4GB for some reason), but Edgy32 doesn't even see as much as WinXP! I didn't have WinXP 64-bit to test. I tried installing Feisty64 from the alternate CD, but I had problems getting the partition setup in the same way that I had Edgy (with LVM and software RAID being used)... I'll test out Feisty64 most likely with the next release (Herd 2). I also want to see what other Linux distributions with different kernels detect at some point.

Being an American looking inward upon Europe, it seems rather straightforward to me that this entire idea is completely confusingly muddled and impossible to clear up.
Europe is such an amalgam of cultures, and for several centuries, there were such huge migrations. Just in Britain, you had Celts, Romans, Angles, Saxons, Danes/Vikings, & Normans all immigrating in fairly large numbers with significant influence over the course of only a few centuries. It's fair to say that modern English comes from a mixture of all of these languages. Singling out a lone primary ancestor is as foolish an errand as asking the ethnicity of the average American citizen.
Good point. But it is also quite possible that Old English is Old Scandinavian for the most part, and arrived with the invasions from Scandinavian countries, and has since been misnamed by scholars. In other words, Modern English is not descended from Old English. Old English and Modern English are not even remotely similar. In other words, Modern English is descended from the indigenous natural language of the British Isles, and the other languages associated with Britain - Celtic/Gaelic, French, Latin etc contributed words along with invasions of various peoples.
Great point. Ask me my ethnicity I would reply Irish, British, Scottish, French, German and Cherokee Indian. In other words, a typical American mutt. Seems obvious that our language came from such diverse sources. For all I know, some of my European lineage a couple millenia back likely included Romans.
Bruce: Credit to yours and many others' posts. This is a very good discussion. On 'amalgam' or not as that pertains to language...and thus accents...bear in mind that some of the eastern US seaboard has pockets of 'Old English'. Some of the islands off of Massachusetts for instance, have an accent and construction that has remained static for hundreds of years.
Another poster elsewhere in this thread was claiming that if it wasn't for French (Norman invasion) then England would be speaking "Low German". Not necessarily so.
What those pockets of static language in the US show (and other pockets were found in the Coastal Range of mountains in the twenties) is that English...*especially as spoken in the UK* is rapidly morphing. There are accents now in the UK that didn't exist fifty years ago, when I left as a child.
It's only in isolation that English remains static. I term it a 'plastic' language, and that does make it non-compliant to its own 'rules'...but it also accommodates your being able to make it say what you wish, and how you wish, as long as others understand.
Modern English not even remotely related to Old English is a very silly statement, obviously you knowledge of Old English is close to non-existant because we still have so many old English words, the only difference being spelling and pronounciation. I am stunned by that statement zog3001.
Old English could just be a form of Old Scandinavian and thus not the natural language of the pre-invasion population - thus any similarities are from loan words to that native language. Any pre-existing similarities may be from an older language that seeded both. Think more carefully in future.

Located about 29 miles east of San Francisco, Concord is home to more than 122,000 residents. The area provides quick access to Napa Valley, Sacramento and Silicon Valley, and features a temperate climate within the Bay Area. Concord encompasses roughly 31 square miles, which makes it the largest city in Contra Costa County.
Concord is a popular spot for many newcomers to the Golden State, as it commonly considered to be a family-oriented community. In fact, the city's slogan "Concord, Where Families Come First" has helped bring attention to its many family-friendly activities, events and organization. When people pursue Concord apartments for rent, they often find a quiet, peaceful place to settle down.
The city that is presently known as Concord was once home to the Chupcan Indians, the first inhabitants of the valley. In 1722, Spanish explorers entered the area, but failed to settle into the valley over the next 50 to 60 years. However, their influence is still felt in the city today, as Concord has farms, orchards and ranches that serve as a reminder to its past.
Concord features a diverse mix of residents who have helped the city develop a consistently stable economy. People who seek out rentals in Concord will be part of a community that contains parks and nature preserves, which help add to the quality of life in the area. Additionally, residents can appreciate the open space the city provides, as it allows them to enjoy time with friends and family outdoors.
Concord is part of the Mount Diablo Unified School District, which features a student population that exceeds 36,000. The district has more than 2,000 certificated professionals to help pupils reach new educational heights, and has a wide range of enrollment diversity.
Since Concord is less than 30 miles from San Francisco, many people travel to the Bay Area to pursue higher education opportunities. San Francisco State University remains one of the best educational institutions in the area, and has served the community since 1899.
Residents might find apartments near Concord are more expensive than units in other areas. However, locals could also discover that they could earn a higher average income living in Concord, as they may be able to avoid some of the high costs of living in a city like Sacramento or San Francisco.
City-Data.com notes that the average median household income exceeded the state's average in 2009. Additionally, gross monthly rent in Concord was around $1,200 in the same time frame. While there is an ample inventory of apartments for rent in Concord, California, make sure to review budgetary expenses before relocating to the city.
Attractions and events help draw patrons that are usually around the median age of Concord residents, which is 37 years old. Baseball fans can enjoy a trip to AT&T Park or The Coliseum, the respective homes of Major League Baseball's San Francisco Giants and Oakland Athletics. Meanwhile, the Concord Skatepark and Pixieland Amusement Park are just a few of the attractions that cater to younger audiences in the area.
Residents can visit local vineyards, as the city remains close to Napa Valley. The Sterling Albert Winery is a local option for fine wine, as it features wine varieties produced on the east side of the northern portion of the Mount Diablo mountain range in Contra Costa County. Enjoy fine dining, wine tastings and more when visiting this scenic area of the Golden State.

Wedding Trivia:TOASTThe term originates from the sixteenth century. At that time a small piece of bread would be placed in a goblet of wine. The goblet would be passed from guest to guest until it reached the person being honored who would drain the goblet and eat the morsel of bread in the bottom. This tradition is practiced at weddings today - usually in the form of one or more champagne "toasts". The best man has the honor of giving the first toast. Usually the bride and groom remain seated for the toasts while all the guests are usually standing to honor them. The couple may then make a few remarks thanking their families, wedding party members, and guests. They may also "toast" each other or share a "toast" together. Often special glass or silver goblets are used by the bride and groom.

Great product I and my kitties depend on
By S. Larkin

About Me Long-Time Pet Owner
Comments about HomeoPet Digestive Upsets:
I have been using this for treating my cats for digestive problem times (particularly vomiting because of excessive shedding)for years. My female cat is particularly difficult about taking Centrine tabs crushed into food. No problems with her taking the Digestive Upsets drops in food. One of my male cats has had digestive problems since he was quite young and this has been terrific for helping him out. It works, is gentle and I have noticed no side effects from it.

Combats chemo side-effects
By Burl's Mom
from CT
I wasn't too happy using the pills the oncologist gave me for my cat when reading the possible side effects so I decided to try this. He is perfectly fine when I squirt it into his mouth and it seems to relieve the nausea he experiences after his chemo treatments. Great product.

Best thing since sliced bread!
By ShamusZ
from Denver, CO
My cat is 16 years old and has IBD. My vet a couple of years back recommended I start him on 1/2 a tabled of the 10mg Pepcid/daily. This reduced his throwing up for about 6mo. He then started back up again. So, under the advice of my vet, I increased the Pepcid to a full tablet. Again this worked, but for only a year. I then increased his dose to 2 tablets. I was aware of what the Pepcid could do to his kidneys so I started looking for an alternative. That is when I found this wonderful product. I have been using it for 3 weeks now. Shamus is no longer on any Pepcid and has only had one minor incident of yakking on the carpet. To put this in to perspective before I started the 2 tablets of Pepcid he was throwing up 5 to 7 times a day, right after he would eat. Every drop of this product is worth its weight in gold. Shamus is a big cat(20" long, 17lbs) so I administer 20 drops twice a day in 1tsp of canned food. Thank you so much HomeoPet and thank you ONPS!

It actually works!
By SJC
from Shawnee, OK
I have a girl Bengal, Sage, that after rescuing her years ago has continuously thrown up, especially a bit after eating. And also often after waking up (almost like some people are "coughers" when they wake up). Vets don't know the reason. Anyway, I basically only give this to her once a day, and it REALLY works. Sorry, but even though I try a LOT of this stuff, a good portion of it just doesn't seem to work for me very well. So I'm very happy to find something so affordable that actually does what it says. Sometimes, if I forget to give it to her in the morning and she starts making her noises, I can squirt in into her and cross my fingers and about 8 out of 10 times, it will stop her vomiting that fast. Granted, it could just be like giving someone coughing a drink. Who knows. But that one time seems to work for the rest of the day. My only issue is that I have to be quick with this girl, having a dropper that I could "measure" or know where the correct amount of drops is on it would be easier. I know, you can always transfer to a dropper (I've done that in the past with other items), but you shouldn't have to. I basically grab her, flip her into my arms like a baby (she likes it), which gives me a second to aim at her mouth and squirt (I have no clue how much she's actually getting), then release. lol But that's the only thing "negative" I could say. Unless or until I stumble across something else, I'll keep using this product.

By now we have reached our debt limit of $14.294 trillion here in the United States. As you read this, the U.S. Treasury is already shuffling bits of electronic paper around to stay current on our nation's debt payments. By Aug. 2 even this desperate farce will have come to an end. The Obama administration's deadline is even earlier. By July 22, there must be a deal to raise the nation's debt ceiling or else there will not be enough time to ratify an agreement before the beginning of August, when Congress begins its recess. The situation is serious enough for both parties to forgo their July vacations and work for a compromise this week in steamy Washington, D.C. A new development has the president challenging the Republicans to work out a longer-term compromise solution to the deficit right here and right now. It remains to be seen whether the GOP will accept the challenge. The nation's debt ceiling was first established back in 1917 at a hilariously low $11.5 billion. Since 1962, it has been raised 74 times, without a problem on either side of the aisle. So why has the debt ceiling suddenly become such a contentious issue? Politics is the short answer. The Republican Party, which passed an increase in the debt ceiling eight times during the Bush presidency, claims to have suddenly found religion when it comes to the nation's debt. And if you believe that one, you deserve to be fleeced by the shills in Washington. The GOP is demanding $4.4 trillion be cut from the deficit over the next 10 years. They are using the ceiling to affect changes in Medicare and Medicaid spending that would probably not see the light of day in any other circumstances. The Obama administration countered with a plan that would cut $4 trillion over the same time period without changing any of the major entitlements programs. One would think that a compromise could be worked out, but as time goes by it seems as if neither side really wants a solution. As the 11th-hour approaches, opposing politicians are milking the drama for very hour of prime time they can capture. By now just about everyone realizes there will be major fallout from failing to pass a new debt ceiling. The most obvious and immediate outcomes would be that the U.S. would technically default on its loans, our interest rates would spike, and the stock market plummet. Even if our "leaders" had a change of heart and approved a new ceiling a day later, the damage would have been done. It would be similar if you or your household declared bankruptcy. Although you might be able to work your way back to financial health quickly, the bankruptcy would be part of your credit history for years into the future and with it would come certain costs. Everyone from the head of the Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury to every elder statesmen of the economy has warned of the folly of allowing the country to default. And yet a recent Gallup poll indicates that 47 percent of Americans are opposed to raising the debt ceiling while 34 percent say they don't know enough to make a decision. I suspect that most Americans mistakenly believe that raising the debt limit will automatically mean an increase in federal spending. That's not true. Increasing spending would require authorization by Congress. In today's anti-spending environment that kind of legislation would have few backers. But failing to increase the debt limit will immediately make the debt we owe climb higher. It would force the government to suspend interest payments on the debt we already owe. Those interest payments would continue to accrue into the foreseeable future. The same would happen to you if you failed to make your minimum payment on your credit card. So your overall debt continues to rise, and quickly. At the same time, as a result of our default, investors worldwide would demand higher and higher rates of interest to lend to a country that had already failed to pay its existing debtors on time. The fact that we might change gears later would not mitigate the actions we failed to take when they were required. The damage has been done and we would pay for it in the form of higher rates for years into the future. I have long since lost faith in politicians. Their actions indicate that time after time they have put their own interest above the common good. So, yes, this debate makes me nervous. I don't want to see Washington once again play with our livelihoods. A U.S. default will severely impact our car loans, mortgage rates, student loans, credit cards and a whole host of personal debt liabilities. If push comes to shove, it may come down to fighting fire with fire. The Fourteenth Amendment states: "The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for the payments of pension and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion shall not be questioned." If the GOP is dead set on using the threat of a U.S. bankruptcy to wheedle spending cuts (but not tax increases) from the administration, than, in my opinion, using the 14th Amendment to raise the debt ceiling without legislation is a proper and responsible alternative. God knows, I am all for spending cuts and have been for decades, but this in not the time nor the arena to force change.

Well, we've made it through another pullback together. It seems clear to me that this week's stock market action is telling us that the worst is over — for now. Yes, there are still a few dark clouds on the horizon. The closest one is the ongoing debate over increasing the nation's debt limit. Although I believe that in the end politicians will do the responsible thing and approve an increase, they are not beyond eleventh hour posturing. Few politicians can resist the chance to become the focus of the nation's attention by withholding their vote until all seems lost, only to relent at the last moment, thereby becoming our heroes. Disgusting? Yes, but that's what America's politics are all about these days.
As a result, expect continued volatility within the markets as te deadline approaches. The Obama administration claims we will run out the clock by July 22 while the Treasury is sticking with Aug. 2. The time it would take the Congress and Senate to ratify the debt increase accounts for the difference. But the bias of the market, despite the volatility, will be toward the upside. It appears that investors are beginning to recognize all the positive factors that I have outlined over the past two months. Japan's economy, for example, is roaring back as indicated by very strong industrial production data this week. For readers who missed it, see my June 2 column "Japan, Is The Sun Beginning To Rise?" in which I both recommended Japan and predicted its rebirth. As it occurs, U.S. economic data will also start to strengthen. This Friday's manufacturing data, released by the Institute for Supply Management (ISM), is just a taste of what's to come. It showed the economy gaining strength for the first time in four months. Oh, and expect unemployment numbers to start dropping as well. As you know, I have been arguing that the U.S. was in a soft patch of growth brought on by Japan's earthquake-related slowdown. Now that Japan is revving up, so will we. With Greece's problems resolved (at least until September) and oil prices heading toward $85 a barrel, Wall Street is finally waking up to what you and I have known for weeks. Normally, after such a massive move, the markets should pull back to about the breakout level, which would be 1,300 on the S&P. It doesn't have to happen, but if it does, consider it a buying opportunity. For those of you who may have gotten cold feet during the tumultuous times of the recent past, that would be your chance to get back in. As for the end of QE II, (see yesterday's column "The End of QE II"), all of the hyperbole you have been hearing about how interest rates would spike and the markets plunge did not materialize, nor will it. As I predicted, the demise of the Fed's quantitative easing program is a non-event. With all these negatives removed from the market simultaneously, I expect stocks to roar. My price target for the S&P 500 remains at 1,450 or higher. Once we get there, well, that may usher in a horse of a different color but first things first, the markets are going higher so enjoy your gains.
Investors are worried. They are worried that the end of QE II will spell disaster. They are worried that European bank woes will spill over onto our shores. They are worried that the economy is stalling and inflation is trending higher. Yet, with all these worries, the markets have held their own over the last few weeks. I'm not going to dismiss these concerns, although we need to remember that markets often climb a wall of worry. Admittedly, there have been so many downgrades of sovereign debt lately that it's hard to keep track. The PIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Greece, and Spain) have had to make room this week for Japan. That island nation joined the ranks of downgrades in large part due to the economic impacts of the recent earthquake and tsunami. The governments of the PIGS countries, in the meantime, have responded by implementing austerity measures, hiking taxes and selling off state assets. These belt-tightening policies have not had the desirable effect either in the economic or in the sociopolitical arena. Anger and fear among the population have spawned demonstrations, strikes and political upheaval. "Just say no," has been the message of various opposition parties within the region. The voters are listening. Spain's Socialist Party, for example, was hammered in recent elections. Ireland kicked out its prime minister, Greece's opposition parties are making it impossible for the government to make deeper austerity cuts and demonstrations have replaced dancing as a national pastime. Although "no" sounds good, especially to the youth, it unfortunately provides little in the way of solutions to the PIGS financial crisis. But regime change (or the threat of one) has made ruling parties drag their heels in implementing reform. In the meantime, the debt continues to pile up and the financially sound countries within the EU are becoming increasingly impatient. Readers may recall that I expressed serious doubts over a year ago when the EU first announced that in exchange for a bailout, the PIGS would need to agree to stringent spending cuts and higher taxes. My hesitation stems from a similar debt crisis I experienced in Latin America during the 1980s. At that time, it was the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that was calling the shots. The same deal was foisted on countries throughout Latin America. All that effort accomplished was massive unemployment, a rapid decline in economic activity and a whole bunch of socialist revolutions from one end of the continent to the other. We called that period the "Lost Decade." In the end, when the problem threatened to topple some of our own banks, we did what had to be done. We swapped debt for equity at 10 cents on the dollar. We also forgave a lot more debt than we swapped and, as a result, we have the Latin America we have today—dynamic, entrepreneurial and growing far faster than most regions. God forbid, that today's brilliant economists and politicians learn a lesson from the Lost Decade! As for the rest of these worries, I'll handle them in order: the end of QE II at the end of June will be a nonevent. The Fed has our back and will continue to have it. Europe's woes will be contained, most likely by allowing some countries to re-negotiate their debt along the lines I have suggested. The "DD" (double dip) won't happen this year and inflation expectations will begin to decline as investors realize the peak in the commodity bubble has come and gone. So that leaves a market that is down less than 5 percent from its highs. Recall that I expected a pullback into the 1,300 to 1,325 range on the S&P 500 Index. Well, we dropped to 1,311 this week and in my opinion we are scraping along the bottom. So quit worrying.
Don't stand there moaning, talking trash If you wanna have some fun, You'd better go out and spend some cash And let the good times roll Let the good times roll I don't care if you young or old, Get together and let the good times roll
— B.B. King, Bobby Bland
It appears Monday's low in the stock market averages concluded this last little sell off. The decline occurred, courtesy of Standard and Poor's credit agency. It reduced its outlook for U.S. Treasury bonds from neutral to negative. Since then the markets have climbed back and are now preparing to test the next level of resistance. We can credit some stellar earnings announcements, especially in the technology sector, for the turnaround in investor sentiment. Most investors were worried that the Japanese earthquake disruptions — especially in semiconductors — would hurt high-tech companies this quarter. But the strength in demand from around the world, especially in the manufacturing sector, has more than made up for any Japanese-generated short falls. None of this should come as a surprise to readers since I have been expecting (and writing) that global economic growth would gain momentum this year. It is one fundamental reason why I think equity markets will experience upward momentum into the summer. "But what about the deficit, the declining dollar, inflation, oil prices?" wrote an exasperated reader, who has disagreed with my bullish calls of late. "How can the market keep going up and up when all these negatives are out there?" he moaned, while still sitting in cash. All of those concerns are quite real and I am not discounting any of them. See, for example, my recent column "A Shot Across Our Bow" on Standard & Poor's debt warning. It is obvious that the market is choosing to ignore these negatives for now. I'm sure investors will re-visit these worries when the time is right, but remember Maynard Keynes once said that markets can stay irrational about certain things far longer than you or I can stay solvent. I contend that as long as the Federal Reserve continues to supply cheap money to the markets in the form of its quantitative easing operations, the markets will go up. The historical low short term interest rates that are now a fact of life are forcing more and more investors to take on riskier assets in order to get a decent return for their money. I'm looking for a quite sizable "melt-up" in global stock markets over the next few weeks or months. I'm also expecting some new moves by China to allow their currency to strengthen in an effort to combat their soaring inflation rate. That would add further impetus to a declining dollar, which would boost our exports and add more growth to the U.S. economy. It might also turn investor's focus back on China, which has lagged world markets for some time. Stay tuned.
Monday's surprise announcement that the outlook for U.S. debt has been downgraded reverberated around the world. Global markets shuddered. Investors rubbed their eyes as they re-read the announcement and then hit the "sell" button. Markets declined by 1 to 2 percent. Yet, by the end of the week, stocks and bonds recovered. Was this some kind of false alarm? First the facts: the Standard & Poor's Rating Services Inc.(S&P) has reduced the outlook for U.S. debt from "stable" to "negative." It did not change its AAA rating for U.S. federal debt nor does it plan to do so anytime in the near future. But it is potentially the first step in an actual ratings downgrade. The White House had been given advance warning last Friday. Officials tried to forestall the credit agency's actions but S&P is convinced that our high debt and deficit levels are raising the possibility that the U.S. fiscal situation could become "meaningfully weaker" if the government fails to improve the country's financial health. A barrage of spin doctors, led by Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, was launched on the nation's airwaves this week in an effort to assure one and all that there is no cause for alarm. It reminded me of that scene in "The Wizard of Oz" in which Toto pulls the curtain away from the Wizard revealing his fire- breathing, smoke-making, image projection machine. "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain," the Wizard bellows through his loud speaker system. But like Dorothy, we Americans should ignore the Wizards advice whether in Oz, or in this case, Washington. The change in the ratings outlook, like a warning shot across the nation's bow, says to me that unless we get our house in order, and do so quickly, there will be hell to pay. S&P recognizes that all the grand standing going on right now between the political parties is just that. They have no intention of do anything about the deficit until after the next election. Both sides are simply jockeying for position. They are using the deficit to put their presidential candidate and party in the best position to capture the election which is still two years away. S&P's base case assumes $4 trillion to $5 trillion in deficit reduction would need to occur over the next 10 to 12 years, but it also insists that there needs to be a concrete plan in places for deficit cutting that is actually implemented by 2013. That implies a spending decline of at least 20% of U.S. GDP and an agreement prior to the next presidential elections. What's at stake here is another Black Swan event, in my opinion. If the politicians flub this one, and our credit rating is cut, I suspect the greenback will be worth about half of its value today. Interest rates across the board in the United States will skyrocket. That will pretty much gut any hopes of a continued economic recovery and the unemployment rate, well, you get the picture. You might wonder, therefore, why the politicians are stalling since they know the consequences as well as you and me. Taxes, a cut in spending, this year's budget, the debt ceiling – everything appears to be a political football. Politicians blithely fiddle while Rome burns because they all know the truth behind the nation's books. Historically, politicians and their parties have very little to do with balancing the nation's budget. The most important single variable, when it comes to reducing the deficit, balancing the budget, or actually enjoying a surplus is economic growth. The stronger and longer the period of economic growth, the faster the deficit is reduced. The problem in this recovery is that due to its nature, the U.S. recovery has been anemic and therefore revenues (taxes) aren't coming in fast enough to reduce the deficit as it has in prior economic cycles. This time around, a combination of growth and spending cuts are called for but politicians on both sides of the aisle are notorious for kicking that particular can down the corridor. The S&P is warning them that the "the can stops here."

How to Decorate Your Home for Kwanzaa
Kwanzaa is meant to be celebrated with family and friends as a way to honor the past and look forward to the future. One important part of celebrating Kwanzaa is decorating the home with traditional seasonal decor. Kwanzaa holiday decor incorporates traditional symbols of African American heritage, both old and new. For example, a kinara symbolizes the African American past, present and future while authentic African folk art is displayed to honor African American roots. Tribal masks, hand-carved statues and wooden fruit bowls from Ghana and other areas of historical significance throughout Africa are often displayed as meaningful decorative accessories during the holiday season as well as home decor all year round.
