chocolate-chip cheesecake cookie bars
Oh my-lanta. I figured it was about time I evened out the recipe playing field here. The granola bars, chia-seed pudding, and pumpkin-pie oatmeal are all delicious, but they aren't this. These chocolate-chip cheesecake cookie bars are something completely decadent, delicious, and undeniably indulgent... and this is exactly why you NEED to make them.
Chocolate chip cookies hugging a cheesecake filling. Cripsy bits on the edges, chewy all throughout, and the tang of rich cheesecake in-between. This is literally the last remaining bite from my house. I had to put it in a Ziplock bag and mark "DO NOT EAT" just until I could take a picture of it. Writing this post makes me want to bake them all over again. I will do to restrain myself, but there are no guarantees...
I stumbled across this recipe here. Of course, I made the teeniest changes by adding a smidge more salt in the cookie-dough, switching out the full-fat cream cheese, and decreasing the sugar in the cheesecake filling. I think the result was a great balance of sweet cookie dough, but not overly sweet cheesecake filling.
Chocolate-Chip Cookie Layer
1c unsalted butter
1c brown sugar
1/2c sugar
2tsp vanilla
1tsp salt
1Tbl apple cider vinegar
1 egg
1tsp baking soda
2c flour
2c semisweet chocolate chips
Cheesecake Layer
1 8oz pkg of cream cheese ( I used the 1/3 less fat variety)
1/4c sugar
1 egg
1/2tsp vanilla
1. Cream together butter, sugar, vanilla, salt, vinegar, and eggs. Then add in the baking soda and flour. Stir in chocolate chips.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla.
3. Spread 1/2 of your cookie dough evenly across the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Then spread all of your cream cheese mixture on top of that. With your remaining cookie dough, dollop blobs (technical terms) across the top of the cheesecake layer. They will spread out as it bakes, so just evenly cover your pan.
4. Bake at 350 for 40-minutes. The edges and top will be brown. Let them cool (this may be impossible), and then cut and eat. Yum. with a glass of cold milk.

Agriculture, forestry, and fishing
Agriculture plays an important role in Kenya's economy. Although its share of gross domestic product (GDP) has declined—from more than two-fifths in 1964 to less than one-fifth in the early 21st century—agriculture supplies the manufacturing sector with raw materials and generates tax revenue and foreign exchange that support the rest of the economy. Moreover, it employs the majority of the population.
In the first years after independence, the government sought to redistribute the land on which most of the agricultural exports were produced. Although there are now thousands of large farms, ranches, and plantations, the majority of the farms are smaller than five acres (two hectares). Tea and fresh flowers are the key foreign-exchange earners. Sisal, cotton, and fruits and vegetables also are important cash crops. Coffee, historically an important foreign exchange earner, still contributes to the economy but began declining in importance and earnings in the 1990s, owing in part to market instability and deregulation. Kenya supplies the majority of the pyrethrum (a flower used to create the nonsynthetic pesticide pyrethrin) to the world market; demand for this product fluctuates depending upon the level of interest in the United States, which is the largest consumer of this commodity. National boards that controlled key export crops such as coffee, tea, and cotton were deregulated beginning in the early 1990s.
The major crops for domestic consumption are corn (maize) and wheat. Sugarcane was an export crop in the 1970s and '80s, but by the '90s domestic demand exceeded the supply, and it had to be imported. Livestock (including cattle and goats) is raised and dairy goods are produced primarily for domestic use, and the government maintains a reserve supply of such commodities as skim milk powder, cheese, and butter. Surplus animal and dairy products are exported.
Despite the importance of agriculture to the economic well-being of the country, the lack of water, infrastructure, and arable land (less than one-tenth of Kenya can be used for agriculture) seriously constrains further expansion. Although the government has made efforts to increase irrigation, it is estimated that only one-fifth to one-fourth of potentially irrigable area has been developed.
Forests occupy only a small portion of the land but are extremely important in the domestic economy. Most of the area of forest reserves is wooded bush, bamboo, and grass; the remainder consists of planted softwoods, which now support a domestic paper industry. Forests are vital for conserving Kenya's soil and water resources, but they are increasingly threatened by a fast-growing population that constantly demands more fuel and settlement areas. As fuel, wood is used primarily for domestic cooking, but deforestation threatens the supply. A tree-planting program has been initiated to grow quick-maturing indigenous and exotic species in ecologically suitable areas.
Fish and marine products represent a small but growing portion of Kenya's economy and are locally important. Freshwater fish from Lakes Victoria and Rudolf constitute the bulk of the catch. The encroaching water hyacinth on the surface of Lake Victoria threatened this fishery in the 1990s, although this nuisance was countered by several strategies, including the introduction of weevils into the environment. Most of the weed has been successfully eliminated, although the potential for a resurgence remains.
Resources and power
Soda ash (used in glassmaking) is Kenya's most valuable mineral export and is quarried at Lake Magadi in the Rift Valley. Limestone deposits at the coast and in the interior are exploited for cement manufacture and agriculture. Vermiculite, gold, rubies, topazes, and salt are also important, as is fluorite (also known as fluorspar and used in metallurgy), which is mined along the Kerio River in the north. Deposits of titanium- and zirconium-bearing sands were found in multiple locations northeast of Mombasa and to the south of the city. Exploration for petroleum has so far met with limited success.
Kenya's economic development has been tied to its ability to improve energy resources. The emphasis since independence has been on producing hydroelectricity, but access to energy is limited in rural areas, since the bulk of electricity is consumed by the two major urban centres of Nairobi and Mombasa. There are hydroelectric plants located on the Tana and Turkwel rivers. Geothermal resources in the Rift Valley have been tapped since the early 1980s to generate electricity and have come to supply a significant amount of Nairobi's total needs. While the expansion of generating capacity continued through grants from the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, a severe drought occurred in the northwest part of the country at the end of the 20th century. This led to blackouts that continued into the beginning of the 21st century.
Kenya is the most industrially developed country in East Africa, but it has not yet produced results to match its potential. Manufacturing is based largely on processing imported goods, although the government supports the development of export-oriented industries. Major industries include agricultural processing, publishing and printing, and the manufacture of textiles and clothing, cement, tires, batteries, paper, ceramics, and leather goods. Assembly plants, which utilize imported parts, produce various kinds of commercial and passenger vehicles and even export a small quantity to other African countries such as Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Burundi.
Steel processing for reexport and for the construction industry is a growing sector, with about a dozen steel mills in operation. The petroleum industry, which was deregulated in 1994, produces diesel and jet fuel from imported crude oil at a refinery near Mombasa and provides a major source of foreign exchange.
1A new constitution promulgated Aug. 27, 2010, provided for the establishment of a 68-seat Senate in 2013.
2Includes 16 nonelective seats reserved for women, 2 reserved for youth, 2 reserved for people with disabilities, and 1 ex officio member.
3Includes 12 nonelective seats and 1 ex officio member.
4The 2010 constitution abolished the post of Prime Minister effective from the 2013 presidential election.

"India Now" to showcase cinema, theatre, fashion, food and business in London
LONDON: A Taj Mahal on the Thames? Tourists stopped to take pictures and bored Londoners, stiffly rushing past Westminster, paused in amusement as a replica of the Taj floated down the Thames on Tuesday morning.
No, it was not the Uttar Pradesh Tourism Board promoting the newest wonder of the world, but the Mayor of London Ken Livingstone trying to market London to Indians!
And on hand were a host of Indian celebrities, including (yes, you guessed it!) Shilpa Shetty, to lend a touch of glamour to the launch of a three-month "celebration" of contemporary Indian art and culture.
Shilpa waxes lyrical
The Bollywood actor, still basking in the glory of her Big Brother fame, got almost carried away by her role as an "ambassador" for India as she breathlessly waxed lyrical about the "amazing gifts" India had to offer, hailing the festival as something akin to a godsend for Londoners and visitors to London.
Rahul Dravid, captain of the visiting Indian cricket team, on the other hand, quietly took his place and watched the six-metre-high "floating Taj" sail past some of London's most famous landmarks such as the Houses of Parliament, St. Paul's and the London Eye before coming to rest at the London Bridge.
"India Now," as the festival is called, will showcase cinema, theatre, music, fashion, food and business through more than 1,500 events spread across London — home to some 4,30,000 people of Indian origin and a popular destination for the Indian tourist.
Opening a new world
The marketing pitch for the festival, billed to attract over one million people, is that it will open a whole new world for Londoners wanting to know more about India.
Launching the festival, Mr. Livingstone described it as an opportunity to experience the "richness of Indian culture" while James Bidwell, Chief Executive of London Unlimited, the international marketing agency for London, called it a bridge with "one of the most powerful emerging countries of the future on cultural, sporting and business levels."

Mushrooms Help Reindeer Fly High
Turns out the myth of flying reindeer might not be that far from the truth. According to scientist Andrew Haynes, reindeer, along with other animals in the wild, sometimes deliberately eat the hallucinogenic mushroom Amanita muscaria in order to amuse themselves during long winters.
Writing in the respected Pharmaceutical Journal, Mr. Haynes said, "They have a desire to experience altered states of consciousness."
What's the link between this mushroom and flying reindeer you ask?
In 1967 an amateur scholar named R. Gordon Wasson published a book arguing that Amanita muscaria was used in ancient ceremonies by shamans in the Far East. It is said both the shamans and the reindeer were known to eat these mushrooms. Man and beast alike hallucinated.
"For humans a common side-effect of mushrooms is the feeling of flying, so it's interesting the legend about Santa's reindeer is they can fly," says Haynes.
Another interesting thing you might notice is the color of the hallucinogenic fungi: red with white spots. Sounds very similar to the colors of Santa.
Add it all up and what do you get? Flying reindeer and a mushroom that turns into a happy personification named Santa.
Just remember, don't bother putting out carrots for Rudolph and company this year "" they'd much rather have something a little harder.

Jasper Town sites, Jasper National Park
8 Reviews
8 Reviews
Favorite thing: Located On the Main Street in Jasper , the JASPER INFORMATION CENTERshould be your first stop to get useful information about the town and surrounding parks. Run by the friendly staff of Parks Canada, they will help you find accommodation and give advice on what to do and see in the area.

Monday-Thursday 11 am till 9 pm.
Friday % Saturday 11 am-5 pm.
The cost of membership is $10.
Senior Citizens and persons under age 18

Fondest memory: Library Contact.
Liabrarian Judy Krefting.
Box 1568 500 Robson street. TOE 1EO.
Phone (780) 852-3652
E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com
Favorite thing:
In the centre of the town of Jasper is this
lovely pink stone building.
This building was the origional Information
Centre building ,and it was built in 1949 ,and it was restored in 1994 by the Friends of Jasper National Park. This building is now the office of the Friends of Jasper national Park,and it is also a public washroom ,so the name Nature calls is very appropiate.
Favorite thing:
This beautiful building was build in 1914 and is located on the main road in Jasper .
The building used to house the Parks Superintendent and the Parks administration
offices .This building also housed a Fish hatchery and a Library. The house was build out of Rocks and Logs and it really fits in with the surroundings,and it also became a model for other Parks because of its rustic design.
Favorite thing:
I like Jasper townsite. It has a relaxed atmosphere that attracts certain kind of people to move here and stay. Lots of the locals are from elsewhere. I spoke to some of them in the mountains and on the cruise -- some were here for the outdoors, some for the scenery, some just to stay away from cities.
Fondest memory: In the summer the town gets touristy. It has its share of souvernir shops, restaurants and bars, but not as bad as Banff. Shown in the photo is the grass area in front of Jasper Information Centre. Often you see young people gather on the grass playing guitar and singing. Very free spirit.
Favorite thing:
Jasper's small-town feel comes as a relief after the razzmatazz of Banff: its streets still have the windswept, open look of a frontier town, and though the mountains don't ring it with quite the same majesty as Banff, you'll probably feel the town better suits its wild surroundings. Apart from the new Yellowhead Museum at 400 Pyramid Rd, with its fur trade and railroad displays (summer daily 11 a.m.-9 p.m.; $2.50) and a cable-car, nothing here even pretends to be a tourist attraction; this is a place to sleep, eat and stock up.
Though Jasper doesn't get as crowded as Banff, it still receives around two million visitors annually, so accommodation, especially in summer, can be tight. You are also especially stuck if you don't have a vehicle; trailheads and the best scenery are a long way from downtown. Bikes can be rented at several places, however, and intermittent shuttle services can run you out of town to Maligne Lake and some of the more obvious attractions.
Favorite thing: The weather was changeable. When we came back to the town of Jasper, it looked like rain but it didn't while we were there. Japer is small town and not many places to see.
Favorite thing: Yes believe it or not ,I found an Aspen Avenue in Jasper Alberta ,not a big deal , I just thought it was fun to read that.

We did this with our kids - simply clip the pole on in the normal fashion at the highest point and guy it aft so it's nearly across the beam of the boat. Tighten the lift and downhaul to stabilize the pole as much as you can at the best height.
Run a rope halyard, or tie a line, to the end of the pole and use it as a "swing". The kids can spash off the line, swim round to the ladder and go again. Good amusement for many hours on a hot day.
As far as an adult doing this, on a boat your size you'll find that everything "gives" a bit more to your 190#s and things jump around quite a bit. You may not be comfortable doing that to your rig.
If your attachment point is too low, add another pole eye higher up or go to a dip-pole style track arrangement.

Brillantes unaware of order to DPWH to remove posters
More News from Jerry E. Esplanada
Comelec Chairman Sixto Brillantes Jr. on Monday expressed surprise the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) was removing illegally placed campaign materials from public infrastructure throughout the country—or at least trying to.
The Inquirer contacted Brillantes by phone Monday morning to ask about the DPWH campaign against posters, tarpaulins and other propaganda materials posted outside Commission on Elections-designated common areas.
An Inquirer story Monday dwelt on the DPWH drive to remove campaign posters, streamers and other propaganda materials from public infrastructure like national roads, bridges and buildings nationwide, and its difficulty in finding success.
DPWH Region IV Director Huilio Belleza had expressed concern for the safety of public works personnel who remove the offending campaign materials.
"They could get killed by the politicians or their followers," he had said.
Call for joint teams
He also called for joint Comelec, DPWH and Philippine National Police teams to undertake the removal of the propaganda materials.
Reacting to the story, Brillantes said the DPWH "can't just remove campaign materials."
He said DPWH field personnel were "not deputized, not authorized" by the Comelec to take down offending materials.
"Why will we deputize them?" he said.
He had apparently forgotten about two Comelec resolutions—9598 and 9615—which mandate a ban on illegally posted campaign materials.
The resolutions, issued on Dec. 21, 2012, and Jan. 13, 2013, respectively, were signed by Brillantes and Commissioners Rene Sarmiento, Lucenito Tagle, Armando Velasco, Elias Yusoph, Christian Robert Lim and Grace Padaca.
The Inquirer obtained copies of the resolutions from the DPWH and Comelec public information offices.
Under Resolution No. 9598, the Comelec deputized over a dozen government agencies, including the DPWH, "in connection with the conduct of the May 13, 2013, national and local elections."
It says "the DPWH and the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) shall assist the commission in removing and tearing down all unlawful election materials and perform such other duties and functions as the commission may prescribe from time to time."
It also says "the DPWH, as well as the MMDA, shall provide facilities and/or equipment necessary for the tearing down of illegal propaganda materials."
Create task forces
On the other hand, Section 24 of Resolution No. 9615 calls for the "creation of task forces to tear down and remove unlawful election materials."
The task forces—each composed of a Comelec officer as chair, a PNP station commander as vice chair and a third member from a deputized government agency like the DPWH—are tasked with "tearing down and removing campaign propaganda materials posted in public places outside the common poster areas, and to monitor and watch for persons posting or distributing unlawful election paraphernalia and to arrest persons caught in the act."
Needed as evidence
Brillantes said DPWH personnel could only "pinpoint to us which ones are not posted in Comelec-designated areas… If you're referring to campaign posters and streamers, we need them as evidence (of violation of the ban on campaign materials posted outside designated areas)."
Brillantes said "there's a procedure. We give (erring candidates and their supporters) a three-day written notice to remove their campaign materials."
"If they don't follow our directive, then we charge them," he said.
But he said he would call up Public Works Secretary Rogelio Singson to inquire about the DPWH drive against illegal campaign materials.
Belleza had complained that as soon as DPWH personnel tore down offending campaign materials, candidates' workers put them up again the next day.

Great professor, very intelligent and experienced. Our class flowed, she did a great job of connecting everything at the end of semester. Her ideas were very clear, and she was not all over the place, her lectures were always tight and concise. Would walk out of lecture with my mind buzzing from all the great information she gave out. Always available for office hours.

I'm only writing this to WARN others, this professor SUCKS! Just don't take her! She is unorganized, all over the place, her ideas are unclear, she makes you buy expensive extra books! Just say NO to this class! I'm not just saying this b/c of my slightly less than average grade. I didn't get much out of this class.

Also, the turn signal beeper is so loud it made me jump when I was checking that the signals functioned (I'm sure I can disconnect this).
Reference the stage 1 jet kit, the seller said he thought it was a Dyno jet kit, but the label on it was Studebaker, so he wasn't sure what manufacturer the kit was.
My main concern about the odometer was resale value. Not that I plan on selling it anytime soon, but I guess I worry other potential buyers would be as trusting as I am. I guess I'm being silly because if you guys don't think it is a big deal, than most potential buyers wouldn't either.
I'll let you know how it all turns out. My mechanic isn't open until Tuesday, so if it works out I'll know Tuesday night.
Studebaker kit is a repackaged DJ kit. You don't buy bikes for resale value. You buy them to ride and enjoy. Entry price for a KLR is very low. If you managed to rack up 75K miles next couple yrs you'd still get $1500 for it. $ per mile usage is very very very low. Buy it, do the basic hit items for GenII's, maintain it with records and just ride!

Come see why America chose Sleeping Bear Dunes as the most beautiful place in America ! It starts right here at M-22 and the Famous Lazy Ride down South Platte River . It is IMPOSSIBLE to remember the stresses of every day life while you are here !
Up until now it has been called 'The best kept Secret in Benzie County !' In fact a lot of the locals aren't too happy about the publicity ! They know what a rare gem they have had hiding here !
Seeing is believing and I promise you won't be disappointed when you see all this incredible area has to offer ! The Floor plan is very versatile (Total Space over 2000 sq ft w/finished lower level that has 4 ft by 4 ft windows !) and easy to group people together in many different sleeping arrangements, especially with all of the extra space in the brand new finished basement.. But please feel comfortable here ! We have a nice place but it is for vacationing ! Relax ! No fine art Pieces to worry about breaking. This is a place where everybody should feel welcome ! This is not an area filled with tons of shops and tourist traps and trinkets ! Natural Beauty Abounds everywhere and is FREE !
We headed north on one summer vacation many years ago and fell in love with those towering dunes perched along the Northwest side of Lake Michigan towering out from above the edges of the Forests below. This is paradise and we have never grown tired of exploring, walking a new trail or finding a new beach. Traveling just 10 minutes a little more north,south,east or west, whichever way you choose, there is always something new and amazing to discover in this Peninsula.
From your lazy trip down The South Platte River to The infamous Dune Climb up by Glen Lakes.
Don't forget to go to Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive for the most dramatic overlook in America ! Take your time there. Dont rush.
So. Here is our Dream. There is more than enough room and privacy for a small Family Reunion, (we have two full baths and a new finished basement ) or just a quiet getaway for two. The layout is very flexible and acomidate, yet modern. The location (right across from the famous South Platte River) is excellent !
Any sunny afternoon to explore the area is good for a quiet country drive down the meandering roads between the historical farmsteads of Port Onieda only to discover another stretch of private seemingly untouched beach all to yourself that goes
on for miles and miles...
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh ! And then there are the Sunsets.............
Keywords: Voted 'MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE IN AMERICA ! This property LITERALLY boarders The Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes on two side ! ! ! Walking distance to three different bodies of water. Beach,Lake,sanctuary, new built house, finished lower level with daylight windows, additional sleeping possible in finished basement, lake,river, sunset, hideaway, secluded setting, serenity,
My Family and I have been looking for that special place to get away from the stresses of every day life for a long time. We knew that we wanted to be close to the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes and knew immediately when we found this property, that this was the location we were looking for. As a kid I have great memories camping all over the State of Michigan my whole life, but, ironically, we had never ventured this far. None of them come close to comparing to this area. We are now creating awesome memories with our kids now that we have found our 'favorite spot' in the State.We hope that you enjoy our Sanctuary half as much as we do !
Michele Blair purchased this house in 2011
We chose this specific area because it is centrally located in the middle of the most naturally beautiful places in the state of Michigan. The Wine tours are amazing and just minutes away. From North Port all of the way down to Elberta there are so many unique and beautiful places to discover ! My Family and I have been coming up here to this area for about ten years now and can never seem to get enough of it each time we come. Its surrounding towns are so interesting and have fun little shops and different beaches to explore. Did I mention it? We LOVE the beaches here ! As beautiful as it is, it never seems to be so crowded that it is a tourist trap of some kind. No huge shopping Malls with all the fast food. Its still a very quaint and low key vacation area to forget about all your daily stress back home, but still boasts of many little shops with very interesting items to mark your memorable time here.
You can drive 20 minutes in any direction and see something new each and every time ! SERIOUSLY. South Platte River is across the street so you can drop your canoe, kayak, aka any flotation device, and be in Lake Michigan within a few hours. There is always somewhere new to discover, (another fossil to find) I cannot even count the number of beaches that we have found from the many inland lakes to all around the coast of Michigan to the several Islands (a couple we haven't even gotten to yet !) there are Ferries going to them on a regular schedule-all info is at the 'cabin.' There is so much natural beauty to see in so many different spots that this has been voted as 'THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE IN AMERICA.
We had a great time at your home by the Platte River. Love this area ! The home is very nice and you've thougth of everything a family would need for a confortable and fun time.
The kids loved all of the places to swim and collect rocks.
We found so many wonderful places to visit that were so close by.
Thank you for a terrific opportunity.
This property was perfect for a Labor Day weekend getaway! Close to all of the things we love to do, like kayak, hang at the beach, walk in the woods, etc. The house was very clean and neat, and it was cozy and comfortable. We hated to leave! Owners were very nice and accomodating. It was so great to be able to bring our small dogs on vacation with us! That made our weekend complete!
My family stayed a whole week and enjoyed every minute of it. The house was very accommodating for our large family. We will be staying again next year. The house is newly built and was spotless upon arrival. The owner was very pleasant to speak with and very knowledgable of the area. The fall colors were beautiful. Thank you.
I rented this house for some friends of mine and it was fabulous. The location was right off of M22 and it was close to several amenities. It's very close to Loon Lake and the Platte River for kayakers and it was a lovely house. It had all kinds of amenities in the kitchen so we had no problems whipping up meals at the house. We also loved how secluded it felt. The property was clean and well maintained and the owner was very prompt in getting back to us and addressing our concerns. We loved this house and would recommend it to others.
There were 4 adults and occasionally up to 6 teens staying in this rental, and there was plenty of room for everyone to sleep very comfortably. The owners were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The location was perfect. I have looked all over the area for other rentals and have not found one that accommodates as many people at as good a price and in as good a location as this one. When we come back to Sleeping Bear Dunes, we will definitely stay here again. The inclusion of floats, tubes and 4 kayaks with the property literally saved us hundreds of dollars, as often as we all went tubing and kayaking! And don't get me started on how beautiful the area is! One of our best family vacations ever.
We stayed in Michele's house the week of 6/8-6/13/14. We had a wonderful time! The house is beautiful and very well maintained. The kids loved the ping pong table, bikes and kayaks! The beds were very comfortable and the area is very peaceful and quiet. I highly recommend taking a bike ride down to Platte River Point to watch the sunset over Lake Michigan and collect BEAUTIFUL rocks! I also highly recommend the PIZZA at the Honor Trading Post! It was yummy! We are planning on returning to this beautiful area in the future!
We had a great time at this well stocked house in Honor. We had never been to Honor before and found it to be a cute little town. We loved the store we could walk to a Riverside Canoe rental. They had lots of fun things for vacationing teens. We also enjoyed dropping the kayaks provided in the Platte River and letting the kids Kayak a few hours to the pick up location. (costs a lot to do at Riverside canoes but free to do yourselves!) Also enjoyed visits to neighboring towns (Frankfort - great town!, and Glen Arbor - love that place!). House was clean and had all the amenities! Nice vacation spot!
The first question people ask is ' can we walk on the beach ?' Yes. You have a choice of three different bodies of water within walking distance. Platte River, Big Platte Lake and Loon Lake. All three are very different and very close to the most beautiful beach in Michigan, Platte River Point Park, which is actually in the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore voted the most beautiful in America. Its true. The simple beauty of the park just washes away all of the stress of lifes daily struggles and immediately feel the tranquility of the Lakeshore fill your senses. Its Dunes, Beaches, Forests, Hills and Farms are forever awe inspiring and never cease to renew your spirits, year after year.

1st long vacation - won't be last!
My husband just retired and we were looking for a place on short notice. We were so lucky to find Breda and PJ's villa as our first experience! The house and pool are fabulous. The quiet neighborhood and surroundings are beautiful and we were completely relaxed during our 3 week stay. The local restaurants were delightful and we visited Siesta Key Beach. Most days were spent lounging by the pool and just relishing in the beautiful weather! I am grateful to Breda and PJ for helping to make Bob's first retirement vacation perfect!

My ham loves this!!
posted 6 years ago
My ham loves her edible house. She has hollowed it out very nicely and widened the front door, and it is good for wearing down her teeth.
The only thing I'm concerned about is whether the house is absorbing any urine that may be inside or around the outside... doesn't seem too sanitary.
Pros: Great for chewing to wear down teeth - safe for hams to eat.
Cons: It may absorb urine, which doesn't seem to sanitary.

Aura Cacia, Natural Skin Care Oil, Comforting Avocado, 4 fl oz (118 ml)
By Aura Cacia46 Reviews
Expiration Date:?Jan 2019
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.35 lbs (0.16 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Minoan has snapped up a number of Scottish travel businesses in recent years but has consolidated many of them under the Stewart Travel brand. It expects the deal for Martin Singer to be earnings enhancing in its first year. Shares closed up 0.38p to 14.75p.

CORE Projects
Ongoing and completed projects at CORE include:
Big Data to Knowledge (BD2K)
Massive data collections derived from millions of daily interactions within the health care system are increasingly available, but we urgently need more advanced tools to support research that can produce better personalized predictions about prognosis and response to treatments; a deeper understanding of the complex factors and their interactions that influence health at the level of the patient, the health system, and society; and more effective methods of causal inference, mitigating bias and error. We also need to find new ways to think about data, while promoting its value for individuals and organizations in the service of promoting better decisions and outcomes. Accordingly, we have assembled a remarkable team of world-class experts with complementary skills who are dedicated to deep collaboration in order to produce high impact methods and tools, primed for widespread use, that will unleash the information potential of data produced as part of routine health care delivery.
Quality Measurement
Our Quality Measurement Group's ongoing work with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) includes new measure development, research on hospital quality including evaluation of trends, disparities and geographic variation and communications with stakeholders about hospital quality, and potential expansion of outcomes measures to other health care settings.
In 2010, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health established a Center for Cardiovascular Outcomes Research at Yale University, one of three identified after a national competition. CCOR's 4-year grant will provide the research infrastructure to develop a national surveillance program for cardiovascular care and outcomes.
Hospitalomics, funded by a 4-year Donaghue Foundation grant, is a multi-disciplinary data-driven approach that combines systems thinking, outcomes sciences, and information sciences to generate information on variation in hospital care and to identify those patterns of care that are strongly associated with the best performance as measured by clinical outcomes (mortality and readmission rates) and hospital costs.
YODA Project
The YODA Project advocates for the responsible sharing of clinical research data. The Project is committed to open science and data transparency, and supports research attempting to produce concrete benefits to patients, the medical community, and society as a whole. Through experience and input from the public and stakeholders, the YODA Project has iteratively developed a model to make data available to researchers in a sustainable way, in which data sharing becomes a part of the clinical research enterprise of the future. The mission of the YODA Project is to not only increase access to clinical research data, but to promote its use to generate new knowledge.
FDA Surveillance Project
Women 55 years and younger have about twice the risk of death from a heart attack than similarly aged men. Our VIRGO group has been funded by the National Institutes of Health to examine predictors of a broad range of early and 1-year outcomes for young women with heart attacks and to examine such questions as: Do women get the same quality of care as men?

Google Wallet coming for iOS?
Let's start by saying this is no smoking gun, but a pretty interesting case of information leakage through an application. For our regular blog readers, you'll know we've been looking into NFC based applications over the past year. The jewel of all NFC apps is easily Google Wallet and thus we've spent a large amount of time trying to understand it. When you decompile an Android application, which isn't obfuscated, you're able to see the same class names, method names, variable names, and other identifiers as in the developer's source code. In this case, Google Wallet includes a package called "wallet.proto" which contains parsers for any "Protocol Buffer" formatted data the application uses. While the name "Protocol Buffers" sounds generic, it's actually Google's well-documented mechanism for serializing data (think of it as their version of XML or PLists). If you followed the Google Wallet PIN hashing issue, you'll remember that the PIN hash is stored in a protocol buffer.
The "WalletShared" protocol buffers package in the current version of Google Wallet contains hints of iOS within the parsers definitions. This includes defining the "DeviceContext -> HardwareType" field with only two values: "ANDROID" and "IOS". iOS strings are also found in two additional protocol buffers called "IosDevice" and "IosWallet". The classes only leak a little detail about the information being collected which include items named "appId", "appVersion", "walletUuid", and a few "model" and "version" items.
Now you might ask why anything about an iOS application, written in Objective C, would get compiled into an Android application, written in Java. This could happen because of how a Protocol Buffer structured data definition file is created. A developer typically creates a ".proto" file, which is a programming language independent file which defines the data structure. This ".proto" file is then compiled using the "protoc" application and creates the appropriate files for the language you are programming in. Thus, it's simple to use the same ".proto" file to create a Java object or an Objective C object if they are both going to use the same data structure. While Objective C is not in the official protocol buffers package, there is an add-on for that language available. Thus it is quite likely if there was a "shared" data structure which both clients and the server would need to parse, the same ".proto" file would be used regardless of the application's programming language.
Of course, if Google is developing Google Wallet for iOS, it raises numerous questions. Since iOS devices do not currently include an NFC radio or secure element, is Google planning to release a case, or "sleeve," with these components? Or do they know something about the next iPhone we don't? And if the next iPhone does have NFC and a Secure Element, would Apple allow Google access to those components? In any case, if Google is working on developing their wallet for iOS, this could be a sign of strong commitment by Google to contactless payment technology. And that's a win for everyone regardless of which device is in your pocket right now.

Most of the international religion stories these days have to do with theocratic suppressors of freedom, would-be monopolizers of religious expressions. We've been spared such holy wars here. But Frist and company, in the name of their interpretation of American freedom, sound more like jihadists than winsome believers. It would be healing to see them on their knees apologizing to the larger public of believers.
Rev. Brent Walker, Executive Director of the Baptist Joint Committee has also spoken out in an uncharacteristically forceful manner on this issue. He said,
"It is quite proper for people of faith to weigh in on the policy decisions of the day, including debates over parliamentary procedures like the filibuster rule in the Senate. But it is a shameful abuse of religion to suggest that God has taken up sides in the debate. There are people of faith on both sides; neither has God in their hip pocket on this issue."Rev. Welton Gaddy, Executive Director of the Interfaith Alliance wrote a letter to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist and raised a pertinent question:
With a religious conscience as enflamed as the conscience of anybody in the religious right, I oppose the election of judges who will, in the name of religion, make decisions that politicize religion and blunt the vitality as well as compromise the integrity of the rich religious community in this nation. Must my religious conviction be attacked as "anti-faith" simply because I do not agree with you when you attempt to destroy a democratic process that has been tried and true? If I feel that way as a person who is a member of your faith tradition, you only can imagine what people from other religious traditions and people within no religious tradition are feeling about such tactics and the implicit, if not explicit, endorsement of those tactics by you and other political leaders.Rev. Barry Lynn, Executive Director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State urged Senator Frist to distance himself from the group saying:
All of these men are persons of deep faith and conviction. None of them are "against people of faith." It is time for the religious right to stop denying the faithfulness of people who disagree with them.
"Sen. Frist should disassociate himself from the Religious Right's unseemly and increasingly shrill campaign to destroy the nation's independent judiciary. I am appalled that Sen. Frist would lend his support to this attack on our court system."

Viewing All
This jacket is as technically-oriented and well put together as you'll find in the under $600 price range. It's easily on par with jackets at least $100 more because of HH's Helly-Tech, the simple but necessary features and perfect shell fit, which I believe needs to exist in that odd range between trim-fitting and layer-accommodating. They nailed it here. Rain sheds like your under a roof and I felt very little wind getting through. There's no need to get overly specific with things like zippers and drawcords because they function as they should. The key here is weather resistance and comfort, and the Veglas wins on both counts.

Ganymede's Trailing Hemisphere
September 26, 2003
In this global view of Ganymede's trailing side, the colors are enhancedto emphasize color differences. The enhancement reveals frosty polar capsin addition to the two predominant terrains on Ganymede, bright, grooved terrain and older, dark furrowed areas. Many craters with diametersup to several dozen kilometers are visible. The violet hues at the polesmay be the result of small particles of frost which would scatter more lightat shorter wavelengths (the violet end of the spectrum). Ganymede's magnetic field, which was detected by the magnetometer on NASA's Galileo spacecraft in 1996, may be partly responsible for the appearance of thepolar terrain. Compared to Earth's polar caps, Ganymede's polar terrain is relatively vast. The frost on Ganymede reaches latitudes as low as 40 degrees on average and 25 degrees at some locations. For comparison with Earth, Miami, Florida lies at 26 degrees north latitude, and Berlin, Germany is located at 52 degrees north.

Well, prior to all of that they were an extremely successful company with a large list of titles and a wide variety of IP. They produced many of the best selling and best rated games of the 90's. Perhaps knowing what was once possible mixed with a nostalgia for past days could lead someone into such a venture.

Iceland – Health and consumers
Candidate countries conduct negotiations with the European Union (EU) in order to prepare themselves for accession. The accession negotiations cover the adoption and implementation of European legislation (acquis) and, more specifically, the priorities identified jointly by the Commission and the candidate countries in the analytical assessment (or 'screening') of the EU's political and legislative acquis. Each year, the Commission reviews the progress made by candidates and evaluates the efforts required before their accession. This monitoring is the subject of annual reports presented to the Council and the European Parliament.
Commission Report [COM(2011) 666 final – SEC(2011) 1202 final – Not published in the Official Journal].
Although Iceland's level of alignment is satisfactory, the 2011 Report highlights the progress still required on consumer policy. The country is a member of the European Economic Area (EEA).
EUROPEAN UNION ACQUIS (according to the Commission's words)
The acquis in this area covers protection of the economic interests of consumers in a number of specific sectors (misleading and comparative advertising, price indication, consumer credit, unfair contract terms, distance and doorstep selling, package travel, timeshare, injunctions for the protection of consumers' interests, certain aspects of the sale of consumer goods and associated guarantees), as well as general safety of consumer goods (liability for defective products, dangerous imitations and general safety of goods) and distance marketing of consumer financial services. The Member States of the European Union (EU) must transpose the acquis into their national law, and establish administrative structures and independent implementation bodies which ensure real market surveillance and effective application of the acquis. They must also provide appropriate judicial and out-of-court dispute resolution mechanisms. Furthermore, they must ensure that consumers are informed and educated and that consumer organisations play an active role. This chapter also covers certain binding rules with regard to public health.
EVALUATION (according to the Commission's words)
Iceland has already achieved a good level of alignment and implementation of the acquis in the fields of consumer protection and health. However, additional effort is required in order to achieve full alignment, particularly concerning consumer protection. More active participation in the RAPEX system is essential.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- As one of only two seniors on a freshman-filled roster, Rutgers center Kia Vaughn knows coach C. Vivian Stringer's mantra better than anyone.
"Coach Stringer, her motto is 'Defense always,'" Vaughn said. "Offensively we're a different team than we've ever been, but it's still defense first."
Rutgers (No. 2 ESPN/USA Today, No. 3 AP) exhibited plenty of both Tuesday night in routing Princeton 83-35. Seven different players scored eight or more points, led by guard Epiphanny Prince's 15, as Rutgers (2-0) topped 80 points for the second straight game to open its season.
Rutgers also suffocated Princeton (1-1) defensively, holding its instate rival scoreless over the final 10:15 and to 20.8 percent shooting from the field.
The 48-point victory matched Rutgers' biggest win since beating Rider 90-42 on Nov. 20, 2004.
"We're not where we need to be defensively, but I think we've become more of an offensive threat," said Prince, who led Rutgers in scoring for the second straight game. "These first two games I think we've scored in the 80s and I don't think that's happened for a while."
Indeed, it's the first time Rutgers has scored 80 or more in consecutive games since midway through the 2002-03 season. The Knights broke the 80-point barrier just once in last year's 27-9 campaign, an 85-42 win over Robert Morris in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
"It was nice to see the numbers," Stringer said, scanning a stat sheet that showed her team shooting 55.2 percent from the field. "I'm not a big believer in scrimmaging much, so I had no way of knowing how many points we were capable of. But I did know we had depth and people that were athletic enough to give us points and that's the key."
Rutgers scored the first nine points and held Princeton scoreless for a span of eight minutes in building a 30-4 lead 12 minutes into the game. The comfortable advantage allowed Stringer to empty her bench, as all 12 Scarlet Knights saw action and 10 different players scored.
Rutgers' performance certainly made a believer of Princeton coach Courtney Banghart, whose team dropped its 12th straight to Rutgers in the series.
"Rutgers is a very good team," said Banghart, whose team lost by only five points to Rutgers last season. "That's definitely a better team than the one we played last year. And you wouldn't know it, but we're better, too."

Summary of Testing Drogues and Seanchors on Flat Water
This spring I decided to test my new Seabrake on flat water, to get the hang of rigging it, and to see if the drag was the same as the published reviews (it was). A storm is a bad time to be learning too many things.
One thing led to another and I ended up testing a small chute and weighted warps. I continued and found more data on the web and in print, scaled it all to match, and posted the summary on my blog. It was a fun project, solely for my personal education. Thought provoking.
Any conclusions are for me and my boat (PDQ 32 catamaran) and the application in storms and on monohulls are different questions. Still, I thought the data was worth sharing.
