Enjoy dinner at the restaurant "Huaca Pucllana"
In the Fifth century, the Lima valley inhabitants started the construction of the Huaca Pucllana. Two important reasons inspired the group of sacred priests, who were the governing rulers at that time. The first reason was their need to express their religious authority. The second reason was directly linked with the control of the hydrological resources stemmed from the water canal system, on the left bank of the Rimac river. Therefore, Pucllana was an important ceremonial and administrative location. Its magnificence was reflected by the configuration of a monumental architecture. It was built with small adobe bricks wrought on a continuous base of blocks and remodeled during the three centuries of the Huaca existence. Currently the Pucllana Archeological Zone spreads over 15 hectares. Today, fifteen centuries after those men gave life to Pucllana, Huaca Pucllana Restaurant, offers you a sample of the best Peruvian and International cuisine. Welcome to the La Huaca Pucllana.

Within the vast Amazon flooded forest, cruise along an amazing black water stream, as your guides tell you about the rainforest. You will explore what scientists call a "gallery forest," because of its narrow vegetation that creates a tunnel of leaves. As we float through this tunnel, your naturalist guides help you to spot parrots, macaws, and fluffy monk saki monkeys in the trees along the riverbanks.
Walk into the jungle to meet native Amazonia people. With your guides as your interpreters, ask about subsistence farming in Amazonia and they will tell you how to cultivate these wild plants and trees. Here, deep in the primary rainforest, your guides identify for you the fruit trees and medicinal plants that comprise Amazonia's natural pharmacy.
Guided Jungle Walk/Siesta/Monkey and Dolphin Expedition. On jungle walk, your guides naturalist guides leads your jungle walk while introducing you to some of the sustainable resource management projects in Amazonia. Visit one, where villagers plant palms to obtain oil. Go deeper still into the jungle, where you encounter more wildlife and learn about the Amazon's natural pharmacy of medical plants.

In the late afternoon, we will take our skiffs along the Pacaya River, journeying from Ranger Station No. 1 toward Yanayacu Lake, where you can view the abundant life that is hidden in the deep rainforest. You may see saki monkeys, capuchin monkeys, and the easy-to-spot heavy howler monkeys, leaping long distances from tree to tree. As the sun sets, you will hear the loud, ferocious sounding warning signals made by the howler monkeys as they mark their territories. When night falls, you will hear the second movement of the Amazon rainforest symphony, as other nocturnal animals send their shrill calls across the tree tops. We will use our special spotlight torches to locate night creatures, including, perhaps, huge caimans.
Tonight the vessel will be docked by the No. 1 Ranger Station in Pacaya Samiria National Park.
In the bright morning light, your Guides will show you parrots, macaws, toucans, and many different types of monkeys. We will also go to the dolphin feeding spots along Pacaya River, where you will be delightfully surrounded by these creatures while enjoying a light breakfast and fresh juice.
We will begin our homeward journey, sailing downstream toward Iquitos.
Navigate from the Amazon River to explore the dark waters of its tributaries. Keep your binoculars handy to see the abundant wildlife: sparrows, hawks, monkeys and sloths sharing this spectacular setting with us. Travel onward to the splendid "hot spot" Charo Lake, After breakfast, armed with poles and bait, we will take you to a special place on this fish-rich river, where you will catch some of the more than 3,000 species of tropical fish that live in the Amazon Basin. The key target will be piranhas, the small carnivorous fish with a fearsome reputation—considered a good food source by the locals.
We will sail downstream all night, as we make our way to Iquitos, and your onward flight.
In the Top Lounge, you will have a recap of your itinerary and sightings.
Tonight, the Cruise Director will introduce some of the crew members you haven't yet met on the trip, but who have worked behind the scenes to give you an unforgettable experience. There may even be a bit of musical entertainment!
The excursions today depend on the level of the river. Weather and time permitting, this will be the last opportunity to see how people live along the Amazon by visiting the lively riverside community of Belen by skiff, in Iquitos. Here, where the houses and shops actually float on the river during some months, you will see the bustling food market of the entire Peruvian Amazon where all local inhabitants throughout the region sell and purchase goods.

This bustling town, complete with a house built by Gustave Eiffel, was once a rich center of the rubber industry. En route to the airport, you will have a group visit of the Manatee Rescue Center, where biologists and volunteers care for endangered Amazon manatees that conservation authorities have seized from local people and fishermen. Biologists will give a presentation about the project and its efforts to help these helpless mammals.

"We are back. We did have a wonderful time with our daughter and I certainly had no reason at all for being at all nervous that things would not go smoothly. Everyone associated with our time in Iguazu Falls was helpful, more than pleasant and always on time. I thought originally that we could manage such a trip on our own. But when we got there and saw the hassles we would have run into with the visas, border crossings, transportation and such, I realized that going the way we did was the wise choice. Absolutely we would travel with you again. And if anyone asks about the best way to see that part of the country, I would not hesitate to recommend KT. "

We enjoyed all of the locations we visited – the beauty of the landscapes, the sight of wildlife, the rich culture & interesting history of Argentina & the outgoing, positive attitude of its people. Our guides were terrific – so friendly & knowledgeable & helpful & enthusiastic! We had no delays or difficulties & our accommodations were outstanding. Have I mentioned that it was a FABULOUS holiday??!!! My thanks to you for coordinating, booking, confirming and generally taking care of our requests in planning our adventure. "

"Fabulous trip to Machu Picchu, Cusco and Lima. Trip of a lifetime with a sensational group of guides, drivers, and transfer staff! Loved the Sanctuary Lodge! A must! Thank you, Nella Huaringa, for planning this amazing journey! Thanks for making sure we didn't miss a thing on our itinerary even when we lost a travel day, due to a broken airplane that turned back midair, on our way to Lima. We appreciate your service above and beyond. "

"Wow! All my life, I have planned and organized our trips, requiring considerable research and contact time--not to mention, most significantly, all the stress involved at each destination to make sure all connections are made. This time, I put it in the hands of some extremely capable people--and sat back and relaxed. And relax I did! We were booked into full-service, quality accommodations at all times; our transport and tour guidance were all on an individual, private basis, except where public transportation was in order; and--most valuable to us--we were met and assisted through all travel/hotel connections. We truly felt pampered. At one point, in fact, we had a problem with an immigration paper that we had lost, and a Kensington representative personally accompanied us through the whole process of replacing it--even though we were officially "on our own" that day. That's what makes the difference--the responsibility and accountability toward clients. Kudos to Kensington and to our representative, Brandi Merchant. We are already planning more travel and see no reason to look any further than to an agency that has earned our trust. "

"We had a wonderful time on our trip. The accommodations were all great. The guides and drivers were all very pleasant and knowledgeable. We were very happy with our choice of destinations and with the way the trip was organized. It was a lot of flying in two weeks but well worth it. Erika was able to accommodate a short-notice addition (Nazca Lines) to our trip which we appreciated. Thank you Erika for your help. Great trip!!"

"I know it's silly to give all 10's, obviously every trip has it's ups and downs, but if it hadn't been for our Kensington Tours planning, guides and drivers we would have been lost! It was wonderful to be out in a strange new environment yet know we had a safety net and a friendly face. The places we visited were awesome but I think we'll remember most the people that we met. Thank you and I'll send photos soon! Sincerely, Christina Adams"

IMPORTANT: In Minnesota, a civil action is started when the Summons and Complaint are served on the defendant, which can happen before a case is filed with the court and given a file number. If you were served with a Summons and Complaint and don't know what you should do, talk with a lawyer immediately to get advice. Court employees can provide general information on court rules and procedures, but are not allowed to give legal advice.
When you file pleadings with the court, you must pay a filing fee or get a fee waiver. You must also file a Civil Cover Sheet form #CIV117.
In general, after serving the Summons and Complaint, the plaintiff files her Summons and Complaint with the court along with an Affidavit of Service form, which shows when the defendant was served. NOTE: As of July 1, 2013, civil actions (except family cases) must be filed the court within one year after service of the Summons and Complaint on the defendant. See Rule 5.04 of the MN Rules of Civil Procedure. Unless the parties sign a written agreement to extend the filing deadline, failure to file within the year may result in the case being "dismissed with prejudice," which means that it can never again be filed in District Court.
In general, the defendant must serve a written Answer to the plaintiff no later than 20 days after being served with the Summons and Complaint, or he risks having a default judgment filed against him. Under the rules, an Answer is a written legal document, not a phone call, email or other type of communication. See Rule 5.02 of the MN Rules of Civil Procedure. After serving the written Answer, the defendant files his Answer in court along with an Affidavit of Service form.
If the plaintiff files all necessary papers and also claims under oath that defendant failed to meet the deadline for serving an Answer, the court may enter a default judgment against defendant. If the defendant had responded to plaintiff with a letter or other method of reply, the plaintiff might not be able to get a default judgment, and should talk to an attorney about her legal rights and options.
Depending on the situation, the judge may schedule a telephone conference or hearing early in the court process to meet with the parties and set deadlines for how the case will proceed. The court will notify the parties by mail with the date and time of the Scheduling Conference. If you move or change your phone number, send a letter to Court Administration. NOTE: It is very important to notify the court with any changes to your contact information.

Ok so I called twice and chatted once. Every time I was told that as long as the TV was purchased new and you have a receipt then you are covered for the 1 year warranty. The chat was the least informative but it gives you an answer. You might want to chat with them just so you could have a copy of their response in your email for future reference. See below transcript
Transcript from Panasonic dated Feb 6, 2013 1:16:56 PM
In response to question: Plasma HDTV
System: Welcome to Panasonic Chat. A transcript of this chat will be emailed to you once you disconnect.
Agent Ashlee R. says: Hello. How may I assist you?
Customer billy says: hi i was wondering if you could tell me if buy.com or rakuten.com is an authorized panasonic retailer
Agent Ashlee R. says: not that I am aware off , you can call Sales at 1-800-405-0652
Customer billy says: If the product is purchased new from a retailer not on your list is there a warranty still?
Agent Ashlee R. says: yes
Customer billy says: ok thank you for verifying that for me. I appreciate it
Agent Ashlee R. says: Thank you for visiting. Please contact us at anytime.

Panasonic Corporation of North America
Glad u clarified the warranty stance with panasonic, hopw they stand by their word, or better yet buy a Squaretrade 3 yr warranty from costco for 99$.
Overall good deal!
Thanks for clearing the warranty issue up with the chat at Panasonic. I called Rakuten customer service via phone and they also said there would be no issues with Panasonic honoring the warranty and, in fact, gave me Panasonic's phone numbers to call and verify.
I'm presuming you're returning it because it's damaged or defective not because you don't like it...The below should answer your question. The first speaks about the time frame for returns which is longer than most retailers 30 day policy and the second deals with oversized items such as this TV. The urls are inlcuded for reference:
At Rakuten, we made our return policy as fast and painless as possible with a 45 day return policy; one of the best in the industry!

Amazon will price match but they are charging like $25 shipping. I have a 24 hour price match gurantee if i want to call and order it within 24 hours i'll get it for $2150 or so. another $350 and I could get the VT from pauls though. I do want to use amazon financing. Should I get the GT or VT?
Hello Charles,
Your pre-order TV Low Price Guarantee request for the Panasonic VIERA TC-P65GT50 against Buy.com has been approved. If you place your order within the next 24 hours, you will qualify for a price match refund.
The current price for the Panasonic VIERA TC-P65GT50 on Amazon.com is $2639.00. The same television is currently listed on Buy.com for $2124.99.
Most large and/or Plasma televisions are shipped with free "Enhanced Delivery" by Amazon. The carrier will bring the television to the room of your choice, unpack the television, and allow you to plug-in the television to ensure it works before leaving. To account for this free service, we must select a comparable shipping method when processing TV Low Price Guarantee claims. In this circumstance, the comparable shipping method is "White Glove" and costs an extra $38.61 on Buy.com. Therefore, your refund may be lower than expected.
If you place your order within the next 24 hours, you will qualify for a refund in the amount of $ to the payment method used to purchase the television. The refund will be processed after the television is shipped. Please contact us below to accept the TV Low Price Guarantee after purchasing your television.
After Shop Discover for 5% cashback by clicking through on the merchant and then purchasing the item, I saved $106. Also received 10625 rakuten points using the promo code rakuten5x which gives another $106 savings. Final out of pocket shipped price is $1913. Understandably, Amazon isn't going to match all that, so the question becomes are you willing to pay $250 more for the customer service of an Amazon purchase?
"There is a lot more picture quality performance in the higher end lines of Panasonic Plasma. The GT50 series has exceptional blacks and not as much of the magnifying effect as the VT50 series (due to the louvered screen overlay)"
The main reason I got this intead of the ST is because of the bright room thx setting...I have a bright room.
In regards to the VT. It has these additional features
Viera touchpad controller...I use logitech harmony one
24P at 96Hz. This is supposed to smooth out image judder. Most people can't tell the difference between 48Hz and 96Hz and some state that you get more flickering at 96Hz.
ISFccc Alows a qualified professional calibrater to access more picture adjustments through the service menu. If you're using a service like best buy, it's pretty unlikely that they would even utilize the ISFccc feature as it takes a few hours to do a calibration of that magnitude and as far as I know they're limited to 2 hours.
But ultimately it's your call. I'm personally think the best bang for the buck for a bright lit room is the GT. Let us know what you end up doing

Thursday leagues are moving to Buffalo Trace for one day only, August 5th in preparation for the 4th Annual Buffalo Trace Open.
I'll push back the start time to 6:15 to give people a few extra minutes to get here since it's a little further than Cavan Park. I'm not sure if the park charges for entry that late in the day, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to meet somewhere right off the highway and carpool just in case.

As veterans with honorable discharges pass away, many surviving families are unaware of benefits they are entitled to through the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense.
"It is important for veterans' families to know about survivor benefits because these are benefits the veteran has earned through his or her service to our country," said Wayne Peedin, the interim director with the North Carolina Division of Veterans Affairs in
For the surviving families of deceased veterans there are many benefits available to commemorate and honor a service member's military career. By applying to the Department of Veterans Affairs, family members may be eligible for a burial flag, headstones, presidential certificates and others.
"Providing survivor benefits is an obligation, and I would hope the VA would feel privileged to live up to that obligation," Peedin said.
At no cost to the family, a
The flag is generally given to the next of kin after its use during the funeral service. If there is no next of kin, a friend requesting the flag may have it presented to them. For VA national cemeteries with an Avenue of Flags, families may donate the burial flags to be flown on patriotic holidays.
Burial flags cannot be replaced by the Department of Veterans Affairs if lost, destroyed or stolen. In order to obtain a flag, the applicant must fill out VA Form 27-2008. Flags may be picked up at a VA regional office or the U.S. Post Office.
Under a program called "Honoring Those Who Served," the Department of Defense is responsible for providing military funeral honors at the family's request. The ceremony includes folding and presenting the
Military funeral honors consists of two or more uniformed persons, with at least one being a member of the veteran's parent service. The local funeral home handling arrangements can also arrange the military honors.
Headstones or grave markers for the deceased veteran can be applied for through the VA by filling out VA Form 40-1330 if the veteran is being buried at a private cemetery. The headstone or marker must be applied for by the next of kin or an authorized representative. The veteran's military discharge documents must be provided.
When a burial or memorial is at a national, post or state veterans' cemetery, a headstone or marker will be ordered by cemetery officials.
By request, the VA also provides a medallion that can be affixed to an existing privately purchased headstone or marker. The medallion is inscribed with the word "Veteran" across the top and the branch of service at the bottom. In order to apply for the medallion, next of kin should file VA Form 40-1330M. Veterans are not entitled to both the headstone or marker and the medallion.
All veterans' surviving family members are entitled to a Presidential Memorial Certificate. More than one certificate may be provided to the next of kin and loved ones. The certificate is meant to express the country's grateful recognition of the veterans' service. Those interested must file VA Form 40-0247.
If you think you may be entitled to something, look into it, Peedin said.
"Contact a local service officer," Peedin said. "They may not be eligible but they can't be eligible if they don't look into it and apply."

It may not be 2013 yet, but we now know that the LA Galaxy will begin their quest for back-to-back-to-back MLS Cups against the Chicago Fire on March 3 at The Home Depot Center.
The match will be the earliest regular season game in club history, as it comes just a week ahead of the 2012 home opener against Real Salt Lake. LA is 8-6-3 in season openers and 2-2-1 when those games take place at The HDC.
At the moment, tickets for the match can be purchased by becoming a season ticket holder or by buying LA's holiday package, which includes the opener, any other two home games as well as the CONCACAF Champions League home fixture against Costa Rican side Herediano.
From MLSsoccer.com, all of the LA Galaxy's goals in MLS competition.
As part of their season review series, MLSsoccer.com has put up four pieces that reflect upon the LA Galaxy's MLS Cup-winning season.
Perhaps, the most interesting is a look at Robbie Keane's influence through statistics from Opta. The main realization that the article comes to? Keane was MLS' best forward after he returned from international duty with the Ireland at the European Championships.
Also worth reading is MLS' analyst Matthew Doyle's piece on whether the Galaxy should re-build.
What are your thoughts on the two pieces?
Share your thoughts below.
The New York Red Bulls have signed Brazilian dead ball expert Juninho Pernambucano.
The 38-year-old Brazilian midfielder has quite the resume having spent the peak of his powers with French club Olympique Lyon and lastly Brazilian club Vasco da Gama. The former Brazilian International is coming off the heels of a successful season with Vasco da Gama in which he generated seven goals and eight assists.
NYRB has yet to announce a head coach, but multiple sources -- both Soccer By Ives and Big Apple Soccer -- have reported that the club's new head man will be Scottish head coach Gary McAllister.
A few more news stories to get your morning going...
*The Canadian national federation has announced that they will take on the U.S. National Team on Jan. 29 in a friendly at BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston, Texas.
*Vancouver Whitecaps FC may be after an "oldie but goodie" of their own, albeit in a completely different sense. Vancouver PR confirmed to MLSsoccer.com that head coach Martin Rennie met with midfielder Davide Chiumiento over the weekend. Reports out of Vancouver have linked the midfielder with a potential return to BC Place. Chiumiento was a first team regular for Vancouver before being sold to Swiss club FC Zurich in July.
*The father and agent of U.S. International Mikkel "Mix" Diskerud confirms that there has been contact between his son and Portland Timbers head coach Caleb Porter about a potential move to JELD-WEN Field.

Another day and two more evaluations completed.
On Saturday, I reviewed second-year midfielder Dan Keat, who made a total of three appearances in 2012, but saw much of his season limited after undergoing surgery on his right knee. Following Keat was teenage forward Jack McBean, who led the Galaxy's CONCACAF Champions League campaign and Reserve League squad in scoring.
We'll have reviews on goalkeeper Bill Gaudette and rookie midfielder Kenney Walker later today.
You can find my evaluations for Keat and McBean below.
Agree or disagree with my evaluations?
Share your thoughts below.
The LA Galaxy's decision to deal away Edson Buddle to the Colorado Rapids on Friday could have a major impact on two of the club's brightest attacking prospects -- Jack McBean and Jose Villarreal.
On Friday, the LA Galaxy dealt veteran forward to the Rapids in exchange for allocation money and Colorado's first round pick in the 2013 MLS Supplemental Draft. With Buddle dealt away and question marks around Landon Donovan, Mike Magee and Pat Noonan returning, the teenage forwards looked poised to play a significant role alongside Robbie Keane in 2013.
After a season in which both teenagers excelled in brief stints with the first team particularly during CONCACAF Champions League play, Arena seems ready to give his youngsters added responsibility next season.
"I think that Jose Villarreal and Jack McBean are ready to get more minutes with the first team. They'll placed in a competitive situation in preseason and given an opportunity to show us what they can do, but they're certainly much more advanced than they were [signed]," said Arena. "We think that they're talented players and they need to continue to move forward professionally, they're still in some cases young kids so they've got to continue to grow and hopefully they can contribute more. I think the past year for both of them was good. We're very pleased by those two players."
Both players as well as recent Homegrown signing Oscar Sorto and Academy defender Javan Torre were both called up to the upcoming U.S. Under-20 camp in Florida.
It was a frantic Friday for the LA Galaxy and you can read more about that here (and here), but my LAGalaxy.com player evaluations are rolling right along.
Today, I reviewed midfielder Paolo Cardozo and forward Adam Cristman, both of whom saw their time with the Galaxy cut short in midseason. Cardozo, the club's first round selection in the 2011 MLS SuperDraft was dealt to Chivas USA for defender David Junior Lopes on April 10 after making just a single appearance during the 2012 season. Meanwhile, Cristman was forced to retire due to concussion symptoms in July after making two appearances for LA.
The complete schedule for the evaluations can be found here.

Former LA Galaxy midfielder David Beckham has reportedly closed the door on a move to Australia in albeit a strange place.
Reports coming out of Australia state that Perth Glory owner Tony Sage spoke to Beckham during a performance of the Spice Girls' new stage music and Sage asked him about a potential move to the A-League.
"I got the chance to chat to David and, of course, I asked him about coming to Australia," Sage told footballaustralia.com.au. "He looked me in the eye and basically said, 'That would be nice, but it's too far away from my businesses."
Beckham, 37, ended his six-year stint with the LA Galaxy on Dec. 1 as he helped lead the club to a second straight MLS Cup title by defeating the Houston Dynamo, 3-1 at The Home Depot Center. Since announcing his intention to depart the United States, Beckham has been linked to clubs across the globe including in England, France, the Middle East and China as well as a potential MLS ownership bid.
"It would have been great to have him at Perth Glory, but it looks like that won't be happening," Sage added. "I just don't think he'll be coming to Australia, full stop."
Will this end rumors linking Beckham to Australia? Probably not. Beckham has repeatedly stated that he expects to announce his next move by years-end.
What are your thoughts on this report? Where do you expect Beckham to go?
Share your thoughts below.
In his teleconference with local reporters following Friday's Re-Entry Draft, Bruce Arena touched on a number of topics as the Galaxy look ahead to the 2013 season.
Friday was a busy one for the club as they acquired the rights to midfielder Colin Clark and goalkeeper William Hesmer while trading Edson Buddle to the Colorado Rapids for allocation money and a 2013 first round supplemental draft pick. But the day began with the club trading a 2013 international roster spot and the club's natural first round draft pick in the 2013 MLS Supplemental Draft to Chivas USA for the second selection in Stage Two of the Re-Entry Draft, which they used to select Clark.
With midfielders David Beckham and Christian Wilhelmsson already departed and Landon Donovan's status still up in the air, Arena admitted that Clark's selection is part of a plan to add depth to the club's midfield.
"That's an area where we've got to focus on and add some depth to a number of positions there," said Arena. "At the same, I feel pretty good where we're at and we're going to move forward and try to improve everything."
Hesmer's selection in the second round of Stage Two could have some impact on the current status of goalkeeper Josh Saunders, who is still currently out of contract. Prior to missing the entire 2012 season after undergoing a hip procedure in April, Hesmer served as the Columbus Crew's number one 'keeper for five years helping the team win two Supporters' Shields (2008-2009) and one MLS Cup (2008).
However, the Galaxy remain in conversations with Saunders to, potentially, bring him back for 2013.
"We're communicating," Arena said. "And we haven't resolved anything contractually."
Two of the four Galaxy players available for selection in Stage Two were selected as Chad Barrett was chosen with the fourth overall pick to the New England Revolution while defender Bryan Jordan was selected in the third round by the San Jose Earthquakes. Meanwhile, Pat Noonan and Andrew Boyens were not selected, but Arena has not closed the door on either of those two returning next season.
"I'm sure that we'll have some dialogue," said Arena. "No decisions have been made at this time."
Nearly an hour after the draft's completion, the Galaxy dealt away Buddle for allocation money and a supplemental selection in a move that was described by Arena as primarily due to salary cap concerns. Although the amount of allocation money that LA received is not public information, Arena shed some light on the club's current salary cap situation.
"Certainly, we don't divulge publicly where we stand with the salary cap," said Arena. "But there's not a team in the league that would tell you that they could use more [allocation money] given the circumstances but having said that, we're in pretty good shape."
Apart from Friday's madness surrounding the Re-Entry Draft, Arena told reporters that the club is "close" to reaching an agreement with goalkeeper Brian Perk, who reportedly agreed to terms with the club and opted out of the Re-Entry Draft Process earlier in the week. The same cannot be said about midfielder Kyle Nakazawa, who also opted out of the process, but according to Arena, nothing has been resolved at the moment.
The Galaxy head coach and general manager also reiterated that the club remain in contact with Homegrown target and CSU-Bakersfield forward Gyasi Zardes about a potential Homegrown contract.
"There's continued discussions with the people that represent him," said Arena. "We're working to see if that's something that can come to closure."
Edson Buddle is on his way to the Colorado Rapids.
The LA Galaxy announced on Friday that they have traded the 31-year-old forward to the Rapids in exchange for Colorado's first round MLS Supplemental draft pick and allocation money. The move comes after the Galaxy acquired the rights to Colin Clark and William Hesmer in Stage Two of the Re-Entry Draft.
Buddle re-joined the Galaxy in February after a brief stop with German second division club Ingolstadt 04. The forward was limited to just 25 appearances in all competitive competitions during the 2012 season after undergoing right knee surgery in May. The U.S. World Cup veteran also made a pair of appearances during LA's 2011-2012 CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals defeat to Toronto FC in March.
Buddle ended his 2012 season with three goals and a single assist.

After waiting for years, we're finally starting to see wireless electricity gain traction. Some smartphones, such as the Nokia Lumia 920, feature wireless charging.
As more smartphones include wireless charging, rumors will increasingly beg to question — Will the iPhone 5 charge wirelessly?
There's no compelling evidence yet, but let's investigate the possibilities.
Why Apple would add wireless charging
- Wireless charging is useful.
- Wireless charging is simple & easy.
- Wireless charging contributes to clean design.
Apple will not add wireless charging just to beat competitors to it.
Apple will not add a separate wireless charging kit instead of building it directly into the product.
Why Apple would wait to add wireless charging
- Wireless charging may increase the product size.
- It's not absolutely necessary yet. (Apple doesn't think NFC is quite there yet, either)
Adding wireless charging just one year after transitioning to Lightning could cause a kerfuffle, but that wouldn't bother Apple.
A note on rumors
As the iPhone 5 release approaches, the rumor mill will ramp up production. Rumors, by their very nature, are unreliable. When the information is reliable it's no longer a rumor, it's news. When we have news, we'll let you know.
Until then, I hope these simple points can help you perform your own analysis of the rumors that will undoubtedly surface in the next few months.

The most common cause of heart disease is narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries, the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart itself. This is called coronary artery disease and happens slowly over time. It's the major reason people have heart attacks (Myocardial Infarction).
Risk Factors
Blood Test: You may need blood taken from a blood vessel in your hand, arm, or the bend in your elbow. More than one blood draw may be needed depending on the tests that are ordered.
Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG):An electrocardiogram is a recording of the electrical currents that cause the heart to beat. From this recording, your doctor can detect many abnormalities including disturbances of heart rhythm and abnormal thickening of the heart muscle.
Cardiac Catheterization (Angiography): A cardiac catheterization procedure provides your doctor with information about your heart's arteries, valves, blood flow, and pumping action. During the procedure, the doctor inserts a very thin tube called a catheter into your affected artery (usually in your groin area) and directs it through the artery into the aorta, then into your heart.
Echocardiogram: Also called an echo, this test involves ultrasound, using sound waves to show pictures of the size and shape of your heart. An echo also looks at how your heart moves when it is beating. This test can help identify problems such as narrowing or leaking of valves, heart defects such as abnormal communication between the right and left sides of the heart, and heart muscle malfunction.
Exercise Stress Test: This test helps your doctor see the changes that take place in your heart during exercise. It checks for blockages in the arteries of your heart. During the test, an EKG is done while you ride an exercise bike or walk on a treadmill.
Angioplasty and Stenting: In the cardiac catheterization laboratory, you will have an angiogram, a test in which a dye is injected into a blood vessel to determine if it is blocked. If it is, you may then be treated with angioplasty. During an angioplasty, the doctor makes a small puncture hole into one or more of your blood vessels (usually in the groin area). A small wire with a balloon on the end is sent up into a blocked artery in your heart. The doctor inflates the balloon to push the plaque (fatty deposits) against the artery wall. This makes more room for blood to flow. If necessary, a stent is then placed in the artery to maintain blood flow. A stent is a metal, mesh tube that is placed in the artery to help it stay open after angioplasty.

Men's Lacrosse Picked To Finish Second in Preseason Coaches Poll
February 6, 2014
High Point, NC – Following another tremendous season that resulted in an on-going NCAA Division II record 14th straight postseason appearance and fifth straight league regular season and tournament championships, Limestone men's lacrosse has been picked as the favorite in the annual Conference Carolinas Preseason Coaches' Poll.
The Saints delivered an impressive campaign in 2013 that saw them go 16-2 overall and a perfect 6-0 in Conference Carolinas action while reaching the NCAA Division II National Semifinals and coming just seconds away from a second consecutive berth in the national title game. Both of those losses were by just one goal and came to eventual national champion Le Moyne (7-6) and national runner-up Mercyhurst (18-17).
After racking up a school-record 13 wins in 2013, the Pfeiffer Falcons have been picked to finish second in the conference. The program has increased its win total each of the past four seasons, and went 13-4 overall and 5-1 in conference play a season ago. Pfeiffer is coming off back-to-back second place finishes and will look to take the next step under first year coach Jason Lange.
Lange will benefit from the return of two Preseason All-Americans, Steven Tilmon and Hayden Kirk, as named by InsideLacrosse.com. Midfielder Steven Tilmon finished the season as Pfeiffer's second leading goal scorer with 31 tallies, while adding 12 assists and 43 points. Tilmon ended the season in the top 10 of the conference in goals, shots and shots on goal and turned up his production in conference play as his 16 goals were third in the league.
Hayden Kirk started 15 games in goal last season and tallied 174 saves and an 8.63 goals against average, both good for second in the conference. Kirk recorded a season-high 15 saves in a 16-8 win over Catawba on Feb. 27 and allowed six or fewer goals in five contests. Kirk was especially stout at home, allowing only 7.09 goals per game.
Also returning for Pfeiffer is James Shepard, who scored a team-high 34 goals and also led the team with 50 points, while earning First Team All-Conference accolades.
Pfeiffer opens the season on Friday, Feb. 7 when they host Florida Southern at 7 p.m.

Sometimes it seems that the more mobile I am, the less mobile my documents become! Let me explain.
When I work at home, I occasionally use my desktop computers but write most of my documents on a Netbook. When I commute to work via the train, I use my iPad. Once I get to work, I spend the rest of the day on a desktop computer. Consequently, the documents I create reside on a number of devices, few of which play nicely with the others. I quickly realized that I needed an easy way to transfer files between these computers.
The solution for me was "the cloud." Google Docs, iDisk, and other cloud-based services let you store any file you're working on to an online storage area.

BTM configuration settings are stored in a
Configuration object. It can be obtained by calling
TransactionManagerServices.getConfiguration(). All settings are documented in the javadoc.
How to configure BTM
Configuration object is implemented with sensible default settings. For a first time user, all default settings are good enough. After the initial testing phase, you might want to change some settings. This can be done in two ways: via a properties configuration file or by setting values directly on the
Configuration object.
The properties configuration file
You can create a properties file in which you'll set some configuration settings. All the ones you omit will keep their default value.
The file can be stored anywhere on the file system in which case you need to set the
bitronix.tm.configuration system property to tell BTM where the file lies. This is generally done by adding a
-D argument to the virtual machine's command line:
java -Dbitronix.tm.configuration=./my-btm-config.properties MyClass
Another way is to call the properties file
bitronix-default-config.properties and store it at the root of your classpath.
Setting values directly on the
Configuration object
You can call any setter you want on the object you get from the call to
TransactionManagerServices.getConfiguration(). This is convenient if you do not want to use the properties file to configure BTM but want to leverage - for instance - Spring instead.
Configuration conf = TransactionManagerServices.getConfiguration(); conf.setServerId("jvm-1"); conf.setLogPart1Filename("./tx-logs/part1.btm"); conf.setLogPart2Filename("./tx-logs/part2.btm");
Since the
Configuration object is a singleton, there is no need to pass it to any other object, BTM will pick it up at startup.

When it involves your vision having the ideal doctor could make worlds of difference. You need to be able to see plainly, it's not just a concern of aggravation but a matter of security. Since there are a selection of troubles that can influence your vision you should see to it that the specialist you are seeing is the appropriate one. There are several various types of resources on where to find services for Eye Doctors in your local area. Deciding on which one is dependent on exactly what the trouble is and exactly what is the degree of the trouble.
An eye doctor is one of the most typical type of optometrist. They are attempted to examine, diagnose, handle and deal with a few of the conditions and problems that influence the vision system. While they do have to have an undergraduate and graduate training in optometry they can just train some concerns. They are unable to execute surgical procedure and are unable to deal with all disorders. They do analyze the inner and exterior structure of the body organ and can identify conditions such as retinal detachment, cataracts, and glaucoma. They could address problems such as farsightedness, nearsightedness, and astigmatism. These are the doctors you would certainly see to have your vision checked to figure out issues and also obtain prescriptions for corrective lenses and medicines for any kind of relevant diseases. An optometrist can additionally administer reduced vision aides, vision therapy and exercises. Another type of optometrist is the eye doctor. This physician is specialized in the surgical and treatment of your vision device. They also focus on the deterrence of eye illness and injury. Unlike the optometrist these medical professionals do have to have their clinical degree. An eye doctor could manage all vision related concerns including assessments, clinical and medical treatment, medical diagnosis and procedure of all vision associated conditions and various other problems created by non vision conditions, such as diabetic issues. While it may be common for some individuals to see an eye doctor these physicians are usually seen after a recommendation from a basic doctor or an optometrist. Many people are interested in Lasik eye surgery. So now you need to find the best Colorado Springs doctor for lasik and check out their credentials and see how many procedures they have done.
Among the eye doctors you will possibly come into contact with an optician. This person is not a board licensed doctor specializing in visual care. Unlike both the eye doctor and ophthalmologist he or she just hast o have a two year technological level. Their job is to assist the optometrist and ophthalmologist in providing hygiene prior to, throughout and after the test or many others procedures. He or she could examine and translate prescribeds, figure out the lenses best suited for the patients demands, supervise buying and confirmation of relevant items, give, replace, adjust, fix and reproduce previously bought restorative lenses.
Often to identify which eye doctor ideal matches your necessity you'll have to go to either your family doctor or an eye doctor. If it is just for your routine annual examination an optometrist can do the job for you just and quickly. Google is a good place to start to find the quality doctors for Eye Exams in Colorado Springs. For more difficult cases such as glaucoma or cataracts you could be described an eye doctor. Due to eye doctors are extremely specialized your insurance policy could required that you receive a referral before setting up an appointment.

View from the Stands (9/29/2013)
by Eric Arnold, Knoxville Raceway Blogger & Twitter Commentator
The Late Model Knoxville Nationals (LMKN) was once again a successful event for us here at Knoxville Raceway. We celebrated our tenth anniversary of the event and it seems to grow in popularity and prestige each year within the Late Model community. To hear how grateful and honored all these teams and drivers are to get the opportunity to race at Knoxville Raceway is very humbling. The Late Model crowd loves Knoxville.
The format for the qualifying nights was interesting with the field being split into two groups for qualifying and heat races (Group A and Group B). 72 cars entered and the first 36 cars in the pill draw were put into group A, and the second 36 cars slated for group B. This made it more fair for time trials with the car drawing 50 or 60 not having to compete for points with the cars drawing 10 or less. The same amount of points were awarded for each set (winner received 200 points, 198, 196, etc.) The teams in Group A were put into their own set of heats, Group B in their own set of heats. Group A was then set for the inside row of the features, and Group B given the outside row. I thought this format worked well and was fair for everyone.

New York's 1st Congressional District elections, 2012
2014 →
November 6, 2012
June 26, 2012
Tim Bishop
Tim Bishop
|Candidate Filing Deadline
|Primary Election
|General Election
Primary: New York has a closed primary system, meaning only registered members of a particular party may vote in that party's primary.
Voter registration: Voters had to register to vote in the primary by June 1. For the general election, the voter registration deadline is October 12, or October 26 in person.[1]
- See also: New York elections, 2012
Incumbent: Heading into the election the incumbent is Tim Bishop (D), who was first elected to the House in 2002.
This will be the first election using new district maps based on 2010 Census data. New York's 1st congressional district is located in the eastern portion of the state and includes Suffolk county.[2]
Fusion voting
New York is one of eight states that have "electoral fusion" -- which allows more than one political party to support a common candidate. This creates a situation where one candidate will appear multiple times on the same ballot, for the same position. Electoral fusion was once widespread across the United States, but is now commonly practiced only in New York.
Opponents of fusion voting argue that the process results in dealmarking to ensure that patronage is rampant.[3] Proponents maintain that fusion voting allows for minor parties to actually make a difference during the election, allowing voters the opportunity to vote for a minority party platform but still affect the general election result.[4]
Candidates appearing in the general election will be listed below with colored dots corresponding to any party they will represent on the ballot.
Note: Election results were added on election night as races were called. Vote totals were added after official election results had been certified. For more information about Ballotpedia's election coverage plan, click here. If you find any errors in this list, please email: Geoff Pallay.

June 26, 2012 primary results
Race background
New York's 1st is considered to be a Tossup according to the New York Times race ratings. This race will be a rematch of one of the hottest 2010 races, with Democratic incumbent Tim Bishop squaring off against Randy Altschuler (R). Bishop may have an advantage due to an expected higher Democratic turnout thanks to the presidential election. However, Altschuler has recently been endrosed by the Independence Party.[10]
New York's 1st District has been included in the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's "Red to Blue List," which identifies districts that the organization has specifically targeted to flip from Republican to Democratic control.[11]
Impact of redistricting
- See also: Redistricting in New York
Following the results of the 2010 Census, New York lost two congressional seats, bringing its total number of representatives down from 29 to 27. According to a report in the Washington Post political blog "The Fix," New York was one of the top 10 redistricting battles in the nation.[12]
The 1st district was re-drawn after the 2010 Census. The new district is composed of the following percentages of voters of the old congressional districts.[13][14]
- 97 percent from the 1st congressional district
- 3 percent from the 2nd congressional district
District partisanship
FairVote's Monopoly Politics 2012 study
- See also: FairVote's Monopoly Politics 2012
In 2012, FairVote did a study on partisanship in the congressional districts, giving each a percentage ranking (D/R) based on the new 2012 maps and comparing that to the old 2010 maps. New York's 1st District stayed the same after redistricting.[15]
Cook Political Report's PVI
In 2012, Cook Political Report released its updated figures on the Partisan Voter Index, which measures each congressional district's partisanship relative to the rest of the country. New York's 1st congressional district has a PVI of Even, which is the 232nd most Republican district in the country. In 2008, this district was won by Barack Obama (D), 58-42 percent over John McCain (R). In 2004, George W. Bush (R) won the district 50-50 percent over John Kerry (D).[16]
District history
On November 2, 2010, Tim Bishop was re-elected to the United States House for a fifth term. He defeated Randy Altschuler (Republican who also ran on the Conservative Party ticket).[17]
