The tour was amazing. Our guide Anna was fun, friendly and very knowledgeable.
This was a fabulous tour! The owner, Robert was our guide. The view was awesome! A bit of a hike up to the vantage point...but well worth it! Would definitely recommend this tour!
An amazing day!! Will be remembered for a long time. Our guide Lydia is absolutely excellent and very knowledgeable and the whole group was really great. Highly recommend!
This tour was amazing!
My husband and I had a great time at the Pyrenees. The group was small and comfortable. First, we stopped at the small town called Vic. We enjoyed the town and the history. The Pyrenees view is breathtaking. Most of all, we enjoyed our tour guide, Fabian. He was so passionate and knowledgeable about the culture and history of Catalan. On our last day in Barcelona, we purchased a book about the history of Catalonia at Museu Historia de Barcelona. Thanks Fabian! You were fantastic!
This day trip was yet another highlight of our Barcelona experience. The trip up the mountains was interesting and fun. Views at the top of the mountain were simply breathtaking. My only criticism would be that the food outlets were limited due to being close to end of season. Overall a fantastic experience.
It was terrific. In particular, the tour guide Anna was excellent - knowledgable and very personable - no doubt a valued employee to your company. The bus driver too did a wonderful job. I would recommend this tour to my friends. Cheers. Patricia Scott
This tour so exceeded our expectations! Fabulous! It was a nice change of pace from the hustle, bustle of the city. Our guide, Jordi, was marvelous! We bought wine, cheese, bread and ham at the quaint shops in Vic and had a charming picnic in the valley! Amazing views, beautiful towns... Spectacular!
Alex our guide made the day a truly memorable one. She went out of her way to make it an enjoyable experience for all of us. Her knowledge of the region was first class and she was passionate about what she had to impart on her passengers. Another must see tour. F a b u l o u s !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great trip. Gloria at the tour office in Barcelona was outstanding in her help with the Pyrenees tour and helping with the sargada familia tour as our tickets had been stolen. Would recommend this trip to anyone.
Another great tour with Anna as our guide. I think this was my favourite trip of all the 5 I booked whilst in Barcelona. Vic is really worth going to and try to go on Tuesday so you catch the market. Fantastic. Then we went on a train ride to Nuria and took an half or so walk up part of the Pyrenees. Lots of walking tracks. It was fairly cold and the fog was pretty low but still able to enjoy it. Then went on to Querables, a lovely little.town with cottages made of all the same coloured rock. We finished off with a nice drink in a cosy bar before heading back. Definitely worth taking thus tour.
The tour was exactly what i expected!!Very comprehensive tour to the villages Vic and Queralbs and a little tour of the Pyrennes mountains by train route.Great fotos!Mr Henrique was very attentive to our needs and speaks english very well!
This tour was amazing!!! One of our best days in Spain!!! We loved the stop in Vic, the cathedral amazed us, the markets a sheer joy to wander around and buy our picnic supplies, and then the glorious walks in the mountains made for a magicial unforgettable day!

0Electric Car Company Coda Automotive Offering 10,000 Miles Free Fuel to October Buyers
October 18th, 2012 by James Ayre
One of the leading electric car companies in the world, CODA Automotive, just announced a new offer for Californian customers. It'll give you 10,000 miles of free fuel when you purchase its new 2012 CODA in October.
"With gas prices this high in California, this is the perfect opportunity to spell out the extremely low operating costs electric vehicles have to consumers," said Thomas Hausch, CODA senior vice president of sales, marketing and aftersales. "When comparing vehicles, the total cost of ownership (TCO) is critical to consider, along with the purchase price, as it provides a comprehensive view of the bottom line. Once consumers review these factors and in turn, discover the benefits of an EV – including significantly lower maintenance costs, avoiding high gas prices completely, low electricity prices, access to the carpool lane, various tax incentives and more – going electric in today's climate makes a lot of sense. It makes you think: When has cutting edge technology been more affordable than the 'old school' version it replaces soon after its introduction?"
The deal makes a very clear contrast between the very low 'fuel' costs of EVs and the continually rising fuel costs of fossil-fuel-powered cars. Driving a CODA for 10,000 miles only costs you about $552 in electricity, compared to the $1500-$2000 you'd spend for gasoline or diesel.
Another significant advantage for EV owners is that they won't be subject to the effects of fuel inflation. During the last twenty years, "the average U.S. real retail gasoline price increased 106 percent when the average U.S. real residential electricity price declined 12 percent."
The rebate will be for the new 2012 CODA, the first completely electric five-passenger, compact sedan, possessing full rear seating and large trunk space. It will have a range of at least 88 miles per charge, and up to 125 miles. And the recharge speed looks to be pretty good, at about six hours for a full charge.
With all the tax credits taken into account, the total price in California works out to about $27,250.
CODA's 10,000 free miles promotion is a point-of-sale instant rebate of $552 and is available through CODA dealers through October 31, 2012. California consumers can contact a CODA dealer for test drives and more information: CODA Los Angeles; CODA of Silicon Valley; Fladeboe CODA in Irvine, Calif.; and Marvin K. Brown CODA San Diego.

This package provides a general-purpose tool for dynamic report generation in R, which can be used to deal with any type of (plain text) files, including Sweave, HTML, Markdown, reStructuredText, AsciiDoc, and Textile. R code is evaluated as if it were copied and pasted in an R terminal thanks to the evaluate package (e.g., we do not need to explicitly print() plots from ggplot2 or lattice). R code can be reformatted by the formatR package so that long lines are automatically wrapped, with indent and spaces added, and comments preserved. A simple caching mechanism is provided to cache results from computations for the first time and the computations will be skipped the next time. Almost all common graphics devices, including those in base R and add-on packages like Cairo, cairoDevice and tikzDevice, are built-in with this package and it is straightforward to switch between devices without writing any special functions. The width and height as well as alignment of plots in the output document can be specified in chunk options (the size of plots for graphics devices is also supported). Multiple plots can be recorded in a single code chunk, and it is also allowed to rearrange plots to the end of a chunk or just keep the last plot. Warnings, messages and errors are written in the output document by default (can be turned off). The large collection of hooks in this package makes it possible for the user to control almost everything in the R code input and output. Hooks can be used either to format the output or to run R code fragments before or after a code chunk. The language in code chunks is not restricted to R (there is simple support to Python and shell scripts, etc). Many features are borrowed from or inspired by Sweave, cacheSweave, pgfSweave, brew and decumar.

A novel closed cycle cryosurgical system
Coleman, R.B. and Richardson, R.N. (2005) A novel closed cycle cryosurgical system. International Journal of Refrigeration, 28, (3), 412-418. (doi:10.1016/j.ijrefrig.2004.07.021).
Full text not available from this repository.
Cryosurgery is a well established technique that can offer considerable advantages to the patient. To date cryosurgical instruments have predominantly employed either liquid cryogens or the J–T expansion of high-pressure gases in an open cycle. The handling of cryogens or high pressure gases in a surgical environment poses logistical problems. A two-stage vapour cycle cryosurgical system has been designed to use either R23 or R508B in the low temperature stage and R404A for pre-cooling. This paper reports the results of trials of the prototype using R23 in the low temperature stage. The cooling performance achieved equals that of existing, open cycle, cryosurgical systems.

Jacques Martin will be named the Montreal Canadiens new head coach.
I know everyone was super excited for Vinny, but in the Sedins you get 2 players for basically the same money who are both 2 yrs younger. If you put Andrei Kostitsyn with the Sisters we could arguably keep Koivu Tanguay and Kovalev together – although word is that Tanguay and Koivu are both less than impressed with how Gainey has left them in limbo. I know Gainey is thinking that Plex will be the second line centre barring a last minute Vinny trade – but I've lost most of my confidence in him.

WALLA WALLA — A man facing charges for a string of auto prowls last summer pleaded guilty Monday to reduced charges.
Nicolas Almiron, 21, of 412 S. Eighth Ave., agreed to plead to four counts in exchange for others being dismissed. Sentencing was tentatively set for Thursday.
Under the terms of the plea agreement, Almiron pleaded guilty to first-degree theft, possession of a stolen firearm, possession of stolen property and possession with intent to deliver marijuana.
In exchange, prosecutors dropped charges of first-degree possession of stolen property and first-degree trafficking in stolen property.
Prosecutors have recommended a sentence of 10 months in jail with restitution to be paid on all counts. Almiron, who is not a U.S. citizen, also faces deportation.
Almiron was arrested in August after an investigation by Walla Walla Police into several cases of fraud related to credit cards stolen from vehicles in Walla Walla and Umatilla counties, in addition to the Tri-Cities.
The investigation led to the search of Almiron's home on Aug. 12. At the residence, officials said they found 115 stolen items from as many as 30 vehicle prowls in the area. The property was valued at more than $15,000.
During the search, police also reported finding several baggies of marijuana, packaging materials and a set of electronic scales.

I was reading posts and noticed that a lot of them said how sex should be easy if the girl is turned on and relaxed. I have a smaller build and perceive it to be proportional in "all areas". I'm 19. I really enjoy sex and I have been sexually active for two years. However, I have found that no matter how much foreplay my boyfriend and I engage in, sex is difficult to start with and I feel sore during the end and afterwards. My boyfriend has also noticed a large difference in "tightness" between myself and other girls he has been with. We always use a good amount of lubrication and I do feel really relaxed and aroused with him. I don't understand how a guy can have a larger or smaller penis, but yet everything I have read on your site says that women have little to no variation in size. Does this mean that I'm generally the same size as the girls he's been with and that there is something else wrong with me?
Once you take your first pill, when do you think you can have sex?
I am 21 and very pretty, but also very overweight. Close to 200lbs. I don't look TOO bad as my weight is well proportioned, very large hips, bottom and bust, but smaller waist and relatively slim face. Recently a guy has expressed a serious romantic interest in me. I know that he is usually attracted to much smaller girls and I find it very difficult to believe that he could really be attracted to me. Is it possible, for a guy who could very easily get a very "hot" girl, to be attracted to a pretty girl who is very fat?
Me and my boyfriend have been together for a long time, and I just found out that I have HPV. I told my boyfriend that I had it as soon as I found out and now he is acting really weird. Now, he doesn't want to give me oral because he is afraid that he may get it. I went to the doctor and asked if he could get it, and she said that as long as we are careful he shouldn't have anything to worry about. When I told him the news he did not believe me! He still will not give me oral even though it has been a couple of months. I am really frustrated!
I searched this site after having a weird experience while masturbating, which I have now come to realize is female ejaculation. The thing is I absolutely hate the feeling that goes along with that, so I have since stopped masturbating to avoid it happening again. However I currently have a partner and we are beginning to consider becoming sexually active (we know how to protect ourselves, and are above the age of consent in our area no worries) however I was wondering if there is anything I can do to avoid female ejaculation while being stimulated by my partner. I find it to be pretty gross, though I have talked to my partner about it I am unsure as to whether or not he is ok with it. Any help you could give would be appreciated. Thank you.
Me and my boyfriend have been going out for three months. We are 15 and for the past week we have been talking about having sex. I have thought about it so much. We both really want to, but I am scared because I don't know how to do it, I don't want to get pregnant, etc. My friends are telling me to do different things: some say follow your heart; others say I'm being irresponsible and immature. I really feel like I'm ready and I love, care, respect, and trust my boyfriend so much but I feel like I'm being influenced by my friends. I don't know what to do, help?!
I'm seventeen years old and have been sexually active with my boyfriend for the year that we have been together. I have faked orgasm almost every time we have had intercourse. I have read your site and read the dialogue you have provided on how to come clean about this form of dishonesty. However, I feel that at this point I am not sure the best thing to do is come clean. I would like your thoughts on what sort of dialogue I should be having with my boyfriend concerning different things we can do so that I can achieve orgasm, without hurting his feelings. Do you think it's healthy to not tell him at all and move on towards a healthier relationship?
Hello, I have browsed your web page and didn't exactly find what I was looking for so I am wondering if you could answer my question. Yes, it is orgasm related. You see I have been sexually active for a long time. I am 17 and I have been with my boyfriend for two and a half years. He was a virgin when he met me but I wasn't.
The problem with me is: I have never had an orgasm. I know what you are going to say. "Not all women have an orgasm during intercourse." I get that, but I never had an orgasm during masturbation, or foreplay. Nothing. And now I am kind of pressuring myself to go. Well, not exactly pressuring myself, but in my mind I go: "Yes, right there, omg I am gonna come." When in truth, I am nowhere close. My brain might have just been sexually turned on to the max at that point, but I just don't go.
I have been on Amoxicillin for about 2 weeks now. I finished my prescription a few days ago and now my period is 2 weeks early. I am on birth control and I know antibiotics can interfere with it, but I was just wondering if maybe they caused my period to be early like that. Should I be worried something is wrong? Thanks in advance for the help!!
I haven't had my period for two months now (the last time I had my period was March 16). My b.f. and I fooled around but nothing happened, if you know what I mean. I then took 2 pregnancy tests and they both came out negative. At the end of April, I went to the pediatrician and they did a pregnancy test too (I don't know if they did it by blood or by urine). All the tests came out negative, but my period hasn't come yet and I just want to know what it could possibly be! I feel like I'm going to get my period, yet it just wont come. PLEASE HELP!
I am so confused about why my boyfriend is looking at shemale porn. It has torn my heart out and has caused us to split. I cannot stomach the thought of touching him thinking that he may be gay or bi. I have gone over and over in my mind about what this infatuation is. I am wondering also if it could be a fetish because he was born with one testicle and feels like a freak himself? I am sick over this.
My boyfriend and I have been together for 4 years and we have 2 children together. When I found out I was pregnant with our first child I also found out I had Chlamydia. I got treated and so did he. Just last week I got my yearly check up and I have Chlamydia again! I have been completely faithful to my boyfriend and he said he has been completely faithful to me. I do believe him! Is it possible either my boyfriend or I was not fully treated three years ago? How could I have gotten infected again?
Hi. I've actually never had intercourse before, but my gynecologist suggested that I begin taking birth control pills about 2 months before my wedding date to make sure that everything is on the up and up with them (& that I wouldn't have any adverse reactions to them). So far I've been taking them around the same time (anywhere between 6:00 and 6:45am) for about 5 and a half weeks and I've noticed no real side effects or anything. The first 3 days I had a headache, but that's about it. The wedding is in 24 days. How do I know that these birth control pills are actually working inside of me? I guess I'm kinda nervous, and was wondering if there are any for sure ways to tell that the pills are running their course? Thank you.
My boyfriend and I have been together for over two and a half years. We used to have sex a lot (meaning a couple times a week and seeing as we could only see each other on the weekends, that wasn't too shabby). However, I've been dealing with a lot of depression and anxiety problems that have been making it hard for me to feel like having sex. This has been going on for a couple months and in that time we've had sex twice. I miss being with him and I know he misses it too. I don't want this to tear us apart. He's been there for me through all of these mental health problems and is definitely there for me during this rough sexual patch but I want that old spark back. What should I do?
I've only just turned 14. Am I too young to think I might be gay? Or is it just hormones playing with my emotions? If I am really gay, is it bad or stupid cause I'm so young?
I feel like I'm always in my sisters shadow, and it's driving me nuts! I'm really happy the way I am, and I wouldn't change it, but whenever I'm around people I know, and she's there, I'm always second best. When I mean "people I know" it goes down to friends, boys, everyone who we're acquainted with! I know VERY well that I don't need a boy, but it feels nice to have attention sometimes. Maybe it's because me and my sister are very close in everything we do.
My sister also is a very thin individual, and weighs less than me, even if she is older and taller. I sometimes feel some pressure from her and my friends because I am more careful of what I eat. I am very curvy (it's my body type), and the rest of the people I know are very thin. Their constant nagging drives me crazy, and beside them I feel like a big lumbering pig, even if I am the average weight for an adult my height. I am very happy with my weight and body/breast size, but this is really getting annoying. Thanks for listening.
Hi, I am 19 years old, and I've been with my boyfriend for about two months now. He's my first proper relationship and I was also a virgin before I had sex with him. My problem is that I am too shy to initiate sex, and I am almost at the point of tearing my hair out because I am getting so frustrated about it. I am comfortable around him, and I love having sex with him, but I just can't bring myself to touch him, every time I'm about to touch him there I stop and wonder whether he'll enjoy it.
He is way more experienced than me, and I have never stroked a guy's penis before or given them a blowjob. I just don't want him to feel nothing when I'm touching him. Is there any way I can overcome this? And could you give me some tips on how I could turn him on without feeling like an idiot?
I am 22 and was the kinda girl that always had a boyfriend, all through junior high and high school and moved in with my h.s. sweetheart. I have become single for the last year and truly enjoy it. I rarely engage in intercourse (major STD fears) but do enjoy some PG13 action. I date very often and like to try and keep it all very old fashioned. It's not a rule I've made but I don't kiss on the first date and keep 'em wanting more till at least the 4th date when they finally get a lil makeout. I was casually dating a guy for about a month and felt he was really into me. I wanted to have sex so we did and now he is MIA. My girlfriend said thats what will always happen, they'll stick around til you put out than they peace out. 2 of my guy friends said they like a lil chase but if after a month of hot dates they still don't get any action at all they move on to the next. So when do I put out? To wait or not! I know theres no general rule or cookie cutter answer here but I would like all of your personal opinions. People say just wait til the time is right but c'mon... I'm not 16 and the time is always past due and very right. Thank you for the advice as well as this excellent site! Keep up the good work!
First off, thank you for this site. It's wonderful. Now, I'm a just-graduated senior, and my best friend went with a big group to Florida for their senior trip. She called me wasted and crying, upset and saying that this guy I'll call E wanted to have sex with her, she told him no, and he did it anyway. His side of the story was that she didn't protest. Sounds like rape, right? But she's known for teasing guys, and people might not believe her. And they liked each other a while back--E never displayed any signs of being likely to take advantage of someone.
I have no idea how to handle this situation because there's so much gray area. How can I help my best friend?
Hi guys: I'm a 15 year old male, not in a relationship, and really doubt I'll be having intercourse any time soon. However, given that I have the time, commitment and attitude for it I thought it might be a good idea to train myself to last longer for intercourse, so that when the time does come I feel, y'no, good about myself.
I've been masturbating with varying regularity for a bit less than a year now, so I know myself and my sexual responses. I'd also like to make it clear that I don't: a)feel unconfident and generally scared of intercourse from fear of inadequacy, b)have unrealistic ideas about what is 'normal' from pornography, or c)think that intercourse is the only 'real' sex, and that how long you can last is a measure of how good or 'manly' you are.
This said, I also know that improved ejaculatory control would be useful in the future to improve the amount of pleasure me and my future partners get out of intercourse, and starting now would likely be more effective. I try to masturbate with a relaxed attitude, and not in environments where I'm somehow pushed for time or otherwise stressed. I've read about a lot of techniques online, but given that 'premature ejaculation' is a problem so many people have a lot of anxiety about and there's obviously a huge amount of money to be made in convincing people that you have some miracle cure for their problem, I thought I'd ask you guys at Scarleteen about what sort of things actually work in the real world and what's just fantasy.
My question is my husband watches other girls get off on cam. I don't like it and he has been told but he still does it. He doesn't seem interested in me until after he has watched them. He pays no attention to me and when he is in the mood it's like after he's watched the other girls and I feel like I have to give it to him because I feel I have to. I guess it's fear of him going out and getting it from someone in person rather then me but I am tired of feeling like I have to and I'm tired of being put on the back burner. I need help as to what to do or how to deal with this.
My boyfriend's sister and I are pretty good friends, so we're pretty open with each other. She has a four year old daughter and a one year old baby that she is breastfeeding. I have a few questions about that. 1) She said she doesn't get her period because she's breastfeeding. Why is that? 2) Are her nipples ever going to be normal again? I know that when a woman breastfeeds the nipples tend to look like bottle tips. 3) Should she have stopped breastfeeding her baby by now? He's almost 13 months. Thanks for reading!

Sitemap My Blog Success Story Contact Author Read Reviews
In last week's blog, I shared with you the importance of prayer and resilience in the manifesting and embracing of my (our) dreams.
If you read the blog, you learned that prayer has always preceded every major challenge I have undertaken, and as a result of prayer, I have realized my dreams, even the most difficult ones.
I also shared with you the importance of resilience,being able to bounce back after suffering setbacks.
None of us will achieve our goals if we allow the challenges to get us down or keep us down.
When the dream is valuable enough to us, there is a way to realize it, and we will find the best way(s) for us as we pray constantly and regroup when set backs occur,and they will occur won't they?
Although prayer and resilience are very important in manifesting and embracing our dreams, taking action is equally important.Some type of action is needed daily to keep our dreams uppermost in our minds.
Without focused action, our dreams stay pinned to the drawing boards of our lives, always happening in the future,'later' or 'soon'.
Three months after I began writing my book, my mom who was visiting became ill. It was very difficult for me to write,but she encouraged me to stick with it, and when I experienced the 'proverbial writer's block' as I often did, I would edit the pages I had already written,or I'd do something else related to the project so that I could stay actively involved in it.
I am sure my mom knew, as I did, that if I had stopped writing, the book may not have been completed until sometime in the distant future,and what a great reason (excuse) I would have had for not completing it.
Another key factor in realizing our dreams is practicing selflessness. Yes, you read correctly.Have you heard this saying:"The best way to get what you want is to help someone else get what they want?"
I admit, it was difficult for me to grasp the truth of this at first,but I have come to acknowledge and accept this fact because each time I have done what I could do to help someone reach a goal,when my dreams were unrealized, it wasn't long before my goals were obtained also.I challenge you to do what I do: Help someone else reach their goals when you can,even when you haven't reached yours, and see what happens.
Finally, we must be passionate about the dream; our enthusiasm should be obvious to all around us. When we value the dream, the work that has to be done to realize it,will seem more like play, and this will help us to stay focused and energized so that we can take the daily action needed to move the dream forward.
Taken separately, prayer, resilience, action, practicing selflessness, and being passionate about our dreams, are powerfully effective in embracing and manifesting them,but when these factors are used simultaneously on a regular basis, our dreams will become our reality.

I don't own either of these laptops, except I know people *love* their macs and I've also heard good things about the VAIO. We actually talked about this a while back here.
I think the choice boils down to whether or not you want an Apple computer running Mac OSX or Windows. What kind of applications will you be using primarily? And for what purpose specifically?
The new Macs have and Intel chip that allows you to run Windows XP and Mac OSX on it, if you're a little technically inclined to set it up.
Apple in general does a great job with their product design, and I'm sure you would love it. On the other hand, if you want to save a bit of cash and you primarily want to run Windows, I would say go for the VAIO.
for university... get something within your budget
I have a Gateway and my girlfriend has a Macbook. The macbook was at least 400 dollars more (we got the middle model) but came with a lot of useful software. Macbooks are really simple to use and there isn't much of a learning curve compared to a PC. But of course there is the price difference. My Gateway has a great... or decent graphics processor and that is why I chose a Gateway.
If you're taking notes and thats all you're going to use it for buy the cheapest and lightest laptop you can get your hands on. Since you may have a desktop at home and you don't need all the expensive hardware of a mac and compariable laptop(s) it would be best for you to get something that won't break the bank.
I would agree with Bodin - I really love my macbook but it was really expensive. I got it as a birthday present from my grandparents because i could never afford it on my own.
What do you think about a Toshiba Equium P300-16T ? It has everything you need for uni and its "just" £400. So you don't have to be in the red (I know how to struggle with money because I am a student too)

Yep, in fact one such effort was started by some KDE devs:
As someone who has worked on a Linux-based embedded system, and had to cross-compile to do it... dude, Linux cross-compilation sucks, and there's almost universal pushback from everyone wo deals with Linux build systems, from Debian to Red Hat, and beyond, to any attempts to make it better.

Warning: Light f/f exploration, group sex.
"Yes, Master." Two words powerful enough to send Rachel back into the past where she longed for a Master. Tragedy changes the course of her life, and she released all her dreams and chose to just to survive in a well-balanced world.
Jon, an apparent dominant who joins her yoga class, threatens the balance of that orderly world. He is determined to use patience and friendship to break through her walls and compel her surrender and submission.
Two strong-willed people come together in an epic clash between master and submissive, each determined they will be the victor. Each unaware that the meaning of victory just may not be so easy to define.
Joey W. Hill creates an excellent world in which an emotionally scarred woman may learn how to live again. I found the story well written and the careful handling of real life tragedy to be poignant and moving. Afterlife is a moving introduction into the BDSM community and what it truly means to be a master and a submissive. I must warn you though that the integration of past characters into Afterlife will have you rushing to find the first three books in the series, because though this can be read as a standalone, you will be compelled to see how the whole story comes together.

The perfect introduction to digital mixing: based on the famous Digital Jockey series, Reloop presents two new compact controllers that do not accept a compromise when regarding quality and feeling. Clearly structured and well arranged, the DJ will know his twist – whether newbie or advanced. The feature set is ideally laid out for Traktor LE and offers all the important features for rocking the party crowd! Two touchsensitive XXL jog wheels can be used either for scratching and pitch bending or for quick track searching. With the big transport section (play, cue, cup & sync) the track is quickly mixed and via shift function this section can also be used triggering cue points. Thanks to the precise sync feature every blend-over is perfectly beat-matched and the DJ can focus on more important things such as creative remixing. Effects such as delay, flanger or reverb can be easily selected and manipulated via a large soft-touch encoder. A designated rotary control for filter (and pan) can be used for amazing high-pass and low-pass sweeps (HPF/LPF). The loop section comes with auto loop, manual in & out buttons, and a further encoder for rapid beat looping. The high-resolution 14 bit pitch fader and the illuminated pitch bend buttons round off the player section.
Besides 3-band equalizer and gain the classically arranged 2 channel mixer also offers an LED level meter and convenient MIDI data & power status lights. The large and handy Trax encoder makes digging in the music library and finding just the right track easy as pie. Master and headphones volume and the cue-mix function as high-performance fader are always at hand.
On the rear panel the LED backround light and the jog wheels sensitivity can be adjusted to one's own preferences. The shift lock switch is also highly practical as it is used to activate the shift function as toggle or hold mode. A further highlight is the DJ Team switch: Two Mixage controllers can be hooked up to one computer. This way one DJ team can control four decks in one software without mixing up the MIDI command (Traktor PRO required).
A pre-configured Traktor LE version is already included; easily connected via USB and selected through the Setup Wizard you are ready to mix. Of course Reloop Mixage is also compatible with any other software that is enabled for MIDI control.
Reloop Mixage can be transported easily due to the compact shape and carried effortlessly in every gig bag. This slick controller is characterized by a plain user interface; everybody will quickly get well along with it. High-quality components including sturdy metal panels and a aluminium cover plate are almost unique in this affordable price range. Save your bucks - but don't save on quality!
Those who do not possess a multi-channel soundcard should go for the Mixage Interface Edition. A professional multi-channel interface is built in this version. Easily connect your sound system and headphones for direct monitoring of the tracks. The ASIO driver architecture facilitates lowest latency and fast mixing without delay. For hosts, MCs or singers a microphone connection on the front side has been integrated. The signal can be routed directly to the master-out or to a computer for recording; the volume can also be adjusted directly.
- Professional DJ USB/MIDI controller with integrated audio interface
- Integrated 4 channel USB audio interface with 16 bit/48 kHz
- 6.3 mm microphone connection (with volume controller of its own)
- Stereo RCA outputs for the connection to the master sound system and 6.3 mm headphones connection for direct monitoring
- ASIO driver with minimum latency and best audio quality
- Clearly arranged mixer/CD player design for quick and easy access
- Optimized for the worlds leading mixing software Traktor LE

Morning Haiku
From my first taste of Byron at age twelve, I was hooked on poetry. As a teen, my reading went from the Romantics to Sylvia Plath to the Beats. By the time I belatedly discovered Sonia Sanchez, who has been publishing astonishing poetry since 1969, I was ready. This, I thought, this is poetry: not a word wasted, and all of them well-chosen; inspirational, revolutionary, and speaking straight to the heart.
Hands on the Freedom Plow: Personal Accounts by Women in SNCC
Much has been written about the courage and tenacity of the male ministers, activists, and young turks of the Civil Rights movement: Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., Julian Bond, Stokely Carmichael, and others. About the role of women, we know less. Now, six women who were active in the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) have rectified this omission by compiling their own testimonies and those of their colleagues in Hands on the Freedom Plow. Each of the fifty-two narratives acknowledges the centrality of women's experience in the struggle for human rights in the southern United States in the late twentieth century. Weighing in at almost 600 pages, these compelling, at times harrowing personal stories recast the history of the Civil Rights movement from the perspective of women who lived it day by day.

Following the passage of California's Proposition 8, a bill that constitutionally outlaws gay couples from legally marrying, rage and frustration was concentrated towards the Mormon Church for their supposed role in passing the legislation.
Beauty Shop Politics: African American Women's Activism in the Beauty Industry
In Beauty Shop Politics, Tiffany M. Gill documents the central role that Black beauticians played in the struggle against Jim Crow laws. Beauty shops were one of the few industries that offered Black women some economic stability and upward mobility in the face of segregation. The industry also offered Black women a respectable alternative to domestic labor, as well as a chance to not work for White people.
No Mexicans, Women or Dogs Allowed: The Rise of the Mexican American Civil Rights Movement
So often, when studying the history of civil rights in the United States in school, the curriculum concentrates on the struggles faced by African Americans and white women. The plights of other minority groups though, such as Asian Americans or Hispanic Americans, are often omitted from the textbooks. In those rare instances when these other groups are mentioned, their histories are condensed into a paragraph or side note. Cynthia E.

Wherever There's a Fight: How Runaway Slaves, Suffragists, Immigrants, Strikers and Poets Shaped Civil Liberties in California
On June 16th, 2008 Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin made headlines as the first same-sex couple legally married in the state of California. The couple, who first met in the '50s, spent the majority of their adult lives advocating for equal rights for homosexual couples and lived to see their goal realized. Although Californians have fought the battle for same-sex marriage most visibly in the past ten years, activists such as Lyon and Martin have been addressing the issue of discrimination against homosexuals in California for several decades.
A Community Organizer's Tale: People and Power in San Francisco
A Community Organizer's Tale: People and Power in San Francisco is a radical history with a heap of theory folded in and a touch of imagery. It would be fascinating and informative to anyone interested in community organizing, housing issues, ethnic and labor struggles, civil rights, the history of San Francisco, or community-friendly city planning.
Same Sex, Different Politics: Success and Failure in the Struggles Over Gay Rights
Gary Mucciaroni's Same Sex, Different Politics offers a useful, though ultimately limited, account of the LGBT rights movement. Trained as a political scientist, Mucciaroni's interests lie in the varying degrees of success and failure over LGBT public policy issues. He questions why certain policy issues (such as adoption) fare better than others (most notably marriage equality).
Journey Toward Justice: Juliette Hampton Morgan and the Montgomery Bus Boycott
For those of us who remember the Civil Rights struggle of the '60s and '70s, this book is a valuable reminder of just where life stood back then, how far we've come and how much further we still have to go.

It was a meeting of the minds Friday as those in the real estate industry spoke with officials about a computer crisis that they say is essentialy shutting down real estate sales in Orleans Parish.
'I see it as a levee break, an oil spill, but what we need to do is resolve that and start to move it forward,' said Joe Ory, president of the New Orleans Metropolitan Real Estate Association, or NOMAR.
More than three weeks after a computer crash left gaps in Orleans Parish's computerized mortgage and conveyance data, city officials are stepping in. Though the civil district court's computer crisis is unrelated to city hall, Councilwoman Jackie Clarkson called a meeting between those in the real estate industry, the city's technology expert, and clerk of court Dale Atkins, who joined via telephone.
'A lot came out of this meeting because everybody involved is on the same page for the first time. This marks the first time we've all been on the same page,' said Clarkson.
But nobody knows when the data will be recovered. And real estate experts say, the longer theh crisis continues,the greater the damage.
'It's kind of like the perfect storm, we're in an interest rate increasing climate, and to have delayed closings, and lost rate locks means that buyers are losing rates,' Rick Haase, president of Latter and Blum. 'Some of these sales being lost are irretrievable.'
Realtors say that if the data's not completely restored, buyers won't be able to get title insurance or a clear title on any property in New Orleans, effectively putting the brakes on real estate sales.
'It's billions of dollars of transactions to this city, and it's disastrous,' said Clarkson. 'I'm a little prejudiced because I'm a 40 year realtor, but this is one of the biggest disasters we could ever face.'
While court officials work to recover the missing data, those in the private sector made it clear they're ready to help Atkins, who told them they must be trained and put on the payroll in order to help.
'We made it clear today that we stand to support her, give her whatever manpower is necessary. That offer has been on the table and she's agreed to take us up on it,' said Brent Laliberte, closing attorney for Bayou Title, Inc.
The city'sinformation technologyexpert, Allen Square, joined the effort to restore the missing data directly after the meeting at city hall ended Friday.
'We know now that we have direction, and we'll be able to accelerate what's going on,' said Ory.
According to Clarkson, the back-up systems failed, and three back-up companies have been unable so far to retrieve the missing data. But new experts have been brought in to help.
Meanwhile, the civil district court is manually reindexing affected data.
Haasebelieves new back-up systems should be put in place so records are better protected in the future.
Mortgage data through August 6th of 2009 and conveyance data through March 27th of 2009 has been fully recovered. Additional data recovered through October of 2010 is available, but, according to the ITcontractor, contains gaps in computerized records.

Iconic Indian makes area comeback
Motorcycle brand roars into Maumee dealership
THE BLADE/DAVE ZAPOTOSKY Enlarge | Buy This Photo
Indian Motorcycle has brand recognition many companies would envy.
"If you ask anybody in motorcycles, new people, old people, it doesn't matter. If they're into motorcycles, they know the name," said Gabe Miller, the sales manager at Honda East Toledo in Maumee.
That's nothing short of remarkable, considering it's been more than a half-century since Indian enjoyed commercial success.
Established in 1901, the original company shut down its operations in 1953. Many have tried to resurrect the Indian name since then, but none have done so successfully.
None, perhaps, until now.
In 2011, Polaris Industries Ltd. in Minnesota purchased the most recent — and foundering — rendition of the company and spent two years planning for its relaunch of the Indian brand.
"We've got the strengths that none of the prior owners had in terms of dealer networks, manufacturing systems, and all of the desire to make that brand successful," Polaris spokesman Marlys Knutson told The Blade. "It's an iconic brand we thought we could do something with."
Ms. Knutson said "very limited" production of those previous generation motorcycles continued for about two years.
Three new models — looking very true to the classic Indian models of the late 1940s — made their debut in August.
In addition to his duties at Honda East, Mr. Miller is the sales manager of the new Indian of Toledo, the first Indian dealer in the state and one of just a handful in the country.
Indian Motorcycles of Toledo received its first bike Nov. 1. The showroom, a warm mix of wood and metal, was completed just a week ago.
Polaris has kept Indian's offering simple. The three models are each available in three colors.
All the bikes have a retro look to them, led by Indian's iconic streamlined front fender.
Mr. Miller has an idea who the target audience is.
THE BLADE/DAVE ZAPOTOSKY Enlarge | Buy This Photo
"This customer is a little different than our other customers," Mr. Miller said. "This is the vintage guy who likes the old stuff but wants the technology. He wants the classic bike that other guys don't necessarily have."
All new Indians are powered by the same 111-cubic-inch V-twin engine.
Polaris builds Indian motorcycles in Spirit Lake, Iowa. The manufacturing plant, which employs about 750 people, also builds Victory bikes.
Officials say, however, the lines are completely separate.
"It's basically a clean-sheet-of-paper design. It's brand new from the ground up from Polaris Industries," Mr. Miller said. "This is not an accumulation of parts from an old Indian regime; it doesn't share any parts whatsoever with the Victory lineup. It's brand-spanking-new."
One of the problems that plagued previous attempts to revive Indian were high prices that were driven by the nature of being a small manufacturer.
The base model Chief Classic starts at $18,999, with the top-of-the-line Chieftain starting at $23,499. The previous Indian line stretched to the mid $30,000s.
Indian sees its main competitor as Harley-Davidson, a company that was founded two years after Indian but has remained in business ever since.
And taking on Harley was one of the reasons Honda East was given the chance to carry Indians. Being a strong union town, where American-made vehicles mean something, Harley does well here in Toledo.
Honda East is also one of the top 10 Polaris dealerships in the country for all-terrain-vehicles and side-by-sides and one of the top 50 for Victory motorcycles.
Brad Kaiser, a sales specialist at the Indian store, is himself a Harley guy and knows that some of those Harley riders wouldn't have stepped into the Honda East store before.
But Indian should bring in the customers, along with their stories of fathers or grandfathers who had Indian bikes.
"That's what's so neat about this customer base," Mr. Kaiser said.
THE BLADE/DAVE ZAPOTOSKY Enlarge | Buy This Photo
The team at Indian Motorcycles of Toledo does recognize that some buyers may be skittish about signing on to buy a brand that, quite frankly, has failed so many times.
After all, this isn't the first time that Indian has returned to Toledo. In 2003, there were two northwestern Ohio dealers when the then-owner of the brand announced it was suspending production.
To counter any worries, Mr. Kaiser said Polaris has given buyers an extended warranty and guaranteed trade-in value. Polaris' track record of success also should help soothe any concerns, they say.
A Polaris spokesman said the company hasn't yet released any sales forecasts for Indian.
However, Mr. Miller said he believes Indian could outsell Victory at his store.

Kardashian donned a custom Vera Wang dress for the nuptials, MTV.com reported.
Guests to the wedding included Lindsay Lohan, Ryan Seacrest, Eva Longoria and many of Humphries' New Jersey Nets teammates.
The two reportedly had only dating six months before they decided to tie the knot.
"We were totally surprised. I mean, because I had been working so much, and Kris lives in New Jersey, I've only met him not even a handful of times," Khloe told MTV earlier this summer. "We were at a family dinner and she walks in, and she's like, 'I'm engaged,' but we didn't even know if it was a joke."

Balogh, Arpad and Wong, Joshua H. and Wötzel, Christiane and Soll, Jürgen and Cséke, Csaba and Buchanan, Bob B. (1984): Metabolite-mediated catalyst conversion of PFK and PFP. A mechanism of enyme regulation in green plantsplants. In: FEBS Letters, Vol. 169, No. 2: pp. 287-292 |
625kB |
Metabolites known to occur in the cytosol of photosynthetic leaf cells were found to mediate the reversible conversion of pyrophosphate—D-fructose-6-phosphate 1-phosphotransferase (PFP) to phosphofructokinase (PFK) in partially purified preparations from spinach leaves. Preincubation of PFP with fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, ATP or fructose 6-phosphate converted PFP to PFK. The reverse reaction (PFK → PFP) was promoted by UDP-glucose plus pyrophosphate. These conversions in catalytic capability were accompanied by changes in molecular mass and charge. The results are in accord with the view that the alterations in PFP and PFK activity, provisionally called 'metabolite-mediated catalyst conversion', represent a regulatory mechanism to direct left cytosolic carbon flux in either the biosynthetic or degradatory direction.

No matter how big or how small, in the process of evaluating a contract for a new project the first question on the minds of Scheck Industries Senior Management Team is always, "Can it be built safely?"
The Tools of the Trade – Hard Hat, Safety Glasses, Fire Suit, Gloves,
Harness, Communication
Scheck Industries' founder and highly active CEO Richard Scheck has enjoyed racing since his own drag racing days in his 1958 Chevy Impala on the streets of Chicago.
Knowing Rich Scheck's love of motor sports, the senior management team devised a uniquely innovative message combining the thrill of racing while demonstrating the organization's commitment to Safety.
In 2006 after a long affiliation with NASCAR Legend Rusty Wallace, Scheck Industries signed Clint Bowyer as a corporate spokesperson. Scheck's involvement with NASCAR provides a highly visible platform for the Company to advance Safety as the most important element of its business for Team members and clients/partners. The long-term relationship with Clint Bowyer, who has become one of NASCARs brightest stars, also provides a forum to expand into new markets through networking with clients, other sponsors and brand-loyal racing fans.
As one of the safest contractors in the country, Scheck Industries is known as going above and beyond the norm by re-investing in its program and communicating the significance of its safety culture.
Bowyer's high regard for safety is easy to see as he is walks various Scheck project sites while speaking to the Trade Craft Teams, sometimes over a 1000 strong, about their daily safe work plans. Scheck utilizes its affiliation with NASCAR to effectively spread the message of safety to its workforce, clients and other stakeholders throughout the construction industry. Bowyer has spoken at numerous capital construction sites throughout the US on behalf of Scheck, including operations meetings and social events, stressing the utmost importance of safety.

Striving to think outside of the box, the Company developed a workplace Safety Program, JAWS, which includes daily talks and project protocol to keep workers aware of all safety related situational matters on a minute-by-minute basis. JAWS has been lauded by clients and peers as one of the most proactive Safety Programs in the construction market.

The SERPS however, have not been affected. Curious if anyone else is seeing this.
The site is a stable, slowly changing resource that has been around with PR5 since 1998.
Yes I have noticed that 2 of my main websites have gone from PR 5 to PR 0. Both sites are over 4 years old.
Personally I think that it IS cause for concern .
One site has not been modified at all in the past 6 months.
Both sites have NOT had the any change in the SERPS but I suspect that it may be around the corner. Both sites do really well.
Anything similar on any of the other sites that have gone to Zero?
Bet there's a TB update coming up soon.
My Serps had a drop off around Easter, weather & holidays?
But my traffic levels are now where they should be.
Also I believe Google are making changes, possibly algo, at the moment, only they know...
Something strange about this?
I have had the samething. PR 5 to 0. Started in my toolbar then I checked datacentres. 60% of the datacentres yesterday said I was still on PR5. Then today all datacentres say 0. My results in SERPS are still excellent and traffic the same. Is it time to panic?
Has this happened to anyone else before and if so how long did it take for the PR to comeback?
One other question please I havent been here for a while and was wondering if Googleguy still drops by to let us know whats happening?
[edited by: zimba at 11:09 am (utc) on April 27, 2007]
same this haapened with my site. google PR updation is in progress? bcoz i lost my 5PR today...yesterday google tool bar showes 5PR of my site. one of my competitor also lost the PR. can anybody tell me what is going on in google..
still showing : google baclink - 190 pages index on google - 250
So is this a some kind of updation or what?
thanks Vishal
All the internal pages I have checked have also dropped to 0.
