"At least the Red Arrows are a good PR exercise world-wide?."
No question about that. The trouble is, the Royal Air Force should not be about PR, but the Defence of the Realm. There are those, and I am not claiming to be one of them, who believe that the money spent on the Reds would be better spent on body and vehicle armour for the RAF Regiment in Afghanistan.
"I wonder how you 'know' that the MoD want to disband the Red Arrows?"
I don't "know" anything of the sort, it's simply an opinion formed from keeping my ear to the ground during my last thirty years of service, including time in the Ministry itself, and from conversations with those still serving since I left.
Even during my time many felt that the Reds were formed partly simply because of the publicity gained by the Patrouille de France arguably then, and some think still, the best in the world (and also because of the wasted effort having several "unofficial" teams). There was a wide body who thought, and for all I know still think, that they are a waste of time, and that team displays should be like individual display pilots/crews who are standing operational crews who practice and display in their own time, while fulfilling their commitment to their established squadron.
Whether a display team is a viable proposition with such criteria would be viable is entirely another subject of discussion.
To one who remembers, with affection, the Blue Diamonds and the Black Arrows such a scenario is not totally ridiculous.

"I suppose its just like flying an aged Vulcan, that seems to keep running out of funds?."
Nothing like it all.
The Vulcan receives no funding from the Government, and is a registered charity.
The Red Arrows are entirely Government funded.

'The Red Arrows are entirely Government funded.'
Which means public money and a hell of a lot of it.
'That sounds pretty much like a message to a potential enemy.'
Al qaeda - 'better steer clear of the UK have you seen their red arrows'.
Taliban - 'Have you seen those red arrows. Better keep clear of UK forces or they'll set the RAF on us'.
Mmmmm some deterrent.

'blinkered view'
Just who do you think that the Red Arrows are deterring then?
Not Al qeada or the Taliban for sure.
Maybe Gadaffi. Nope I don't think so.
Mmmm there must be someone?

'The Red Arrows are entirely Government funded.'
Not totally, according to their website:
'The Red Arrows overseas tours, representing and demonstrating the very best of British excellence, are largely met by sponsors'

Suggesting the the Red Arrow displays are indicative of the deterrent effect of the Royal Air Force is like suggesting that the Trooping of the Colour is indicative of the Guards fighting qualities.
Both gained their reputations elsewhere, though such displays are based in the same traditions.
One of the problems in the early days of the war (long before the Battle) was that senior air commanders' insistence on tight formation flying, so much a part of pre-war Hendon displays, meant that pilots were so obsessed with keeping station that they frequently failed to see the enemy early enough. There are still those who regard tight formation flying as a good test of a pilot's ability. The ability to return from combat mission is a better one!
As regards a deterrent effect, a good display pilot putting his beast through her paces is far better.
Who can forget the early displays of the Hunter, Lightning and Vulcan?
When St Mawgan was still doing flying displays, there were two party tricks.
Half way through the afternoon a Shackleton would land from a routine Soviet navy surveillance operation. As was always announced, that aircraft had taken off the previous afternoon.
Even the most junior naval attaché could work out that any subs could be picked up, or tracked, a hell of a long way out.
Around the same time a Shackleton fly past would be scheduled in the prgtamme. The grey old lady would appear at the airfield boundary with one engine stopped. As it reached the runway threshold another engine would stop. Half way along the runway a third engine would be stopped and she would climb away on one (OK. so she struggled a bit!).
The gasps from other aviators and mariners who had not seen this before was a source of great pride .
Much greater deterrent effect than than a massed fly by (though I did once see twelve Shackletons scramble during an exercise, and I must admit it was pretty impressive. I was aboard one of them, in the days when they used to carry their own groundcrew to wherever they were going.)
The Reds in full fig are a fantastic sight, but about the RAF for real they are not, not now, not ever.

The Shack one engine fly-by must have been fun but I have seen a Lincoln go past with four, then three, then two then none. Not very sensible I thought at the time but I imagine the Engineer was up for it.
This topic has brought up some interesting posts. I hope that the Red Arrows continue in service even if the Services have to give up some something - Military Bands?

Does it really matter whether the Red Arrows deter potential enemies or not?
They bring a great deal of pleasure to huge numbers of people, and demonstrate formation flying of a very high calibre. As someone who spent a fairly large chunk of his early life living on operational RAF bases I must say I always experience a thrill of pride when I see the Red Arrows performing.
They're very welcome to whatever part of my taxes goes to keep them flying. Anyone can whinge about expenditure on this kind of thing, but it would be a pretty dull life if there wasn't room for the occasional item of purely frivolous expenditure.

frivolous expenditure
I can't see that flying with the Red Arrows is a frivolous expenditure. It's a display for the public, granted, but also a training exercise surely.
We often have Hercules' flying low overhead to drop parachutists (for want of a better word) for training, so I cannot see the difference. If a pilot doesn't fly an aircraft then how are they supposed to keep their skills tip-top?

New to this Forum
Hi Folks!
Just wanted to introduce myself. Unfortunately, I am on the couch. Last week I had an operation on my leg, and I didn't listen to the doctor.... now I am paying for it!!! That's OK. Two days off from work, dog at my feet, searching the net for anything to do with sailing.... perfect!!
Anyway, I am new here and looking forward to meeting folks and sharing some of my life-long experiences out on the seas and rivers. Not always good ones, but always learning ones!! And always interesting!!
Toss me a line, I'll tie you on, and let's swap a story or two!
welcome aboard!
Welcome to Sailnet, it's a really great site. Don't hesitate to ask questions or just chime in.
Welcome Planewood!
So, you start. Let's hear a story.
A story, ehh... How about a little about my experience?
I started sailing when I was 18 months old! OK, I know, that would be more like riding along, but I have been out on the water ever since. Mom has always said I have sea water running through my veins! I enjoy all types of sailing and I have even lived aboard! I have sailed on many vessels, enjoyed them all, and I am grateful to all those who have enlightened me with their knowledge and experiences. I have taught sailing, navigation, maintenance, and common sense to many, and I have learned much more from all! I am always learning something about sailing! I guess you could say I am more of a blue water sailor than any other, yet I enjoy crewing in a race too! You will usually find me tethered in on the deck during a head-sail change, buried in a bow wave, and loving every second of it!
I owned a 42' woody, gaffed rigged, which I lived aboard, maintained, and single-handed for a few years, but had to sell her to take care of some other things. Oh, well. I will soon have another. I have plans to build a 30' day-sailer, but I think I may put that idea back onto the bucket list and go rescue a glass boat in need of a good home. We'll see.
For the moment, I need to get the leg back into shape so I can get back out there! I already missed a couple of spring fit-outs and launchings because of it and I probably will miss a delivery or two, but I am cancer free and loving every moment of that too!

Boeing today delivered the 2,000th aircraft from its 737-600/700/800/900 family of aircraft.
"This is a tremendous day for the Boeing team and our customers," says the US manufacturer's vice president and 737 general manager Mark Jenkins, in a statement celebrating the delivery of the aircraft, a 737-700, to Southwest Airlines (pictured below).
"The 737 family just keeps getting better and better, and this milestone is a reflection of the continued value our customers place on the aircraft and the people who design, build and support them," he adds.
"Earlier this year, the current aircraft family eclipsed order totals for Classic 737s," says Boeing. "As of 30 June 2006, 97 customers have placed orders for more than 3,300 aircraft. The programme has 1,365 unfilled orders with a value of $91 billion at current list prices."
Boeing's Next Generation 737 has been in service since 1998. According to the US manufacturer, the fleet has accumulated more than 24 million flight hours and flown more than 12 million flights.

The United States LTE market is to grow at a CAGR of 45.65 percent over the period 2012-2016. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increased competition among network operators. The market has also been witnessing increased investment from AT&T Corp. However, pricing issues could pose a challenge to the growth of this market.
The main trend witnessed in the LTE market in the US is increased investment by AT&T. The LTE market in the US was mainly dominated by Verizon, which introduced the LTE networks in the US.

Why were ships so fragile in DS9

Location: California
Re: Why were ships so fragile in DS9
Strangely enough, in Call of Arms, with the Dominion and Cardassian fleets attacking, they were having no success. Only when Dukat order the fleet to target a specific area was when the shields went down temporarily. And still not enough to board the station.
The Klingons dropped the shields and boarded the station.
DS9 always played up the angle that the Dominion was somehow superior in weapons. It was really subtle.
Like, you'd never see a Federation ship directly destroy a Dominion ship, at least on screen. Except for the Defiant or Defiant type vessel.
They also switched to from shield bubbles to tight shields, where with fire scorching the hull, but not necessarily damaging the ship.
It had a cool look.

Where do I purchase a replacement display screen for my iMac?My display is showing darker areas on the left side of the screen. iFixit used to carry a replacement display screen for this...
Retina Macbook 2015 Teardown
Would you please measure the logic board? I'd like to know how small it actually is.
Mac Mini Late 2014 Teardown
I think Apple was going for the simplest solution with the least amount of connections that could become loose. With the security screws, Apple obviously doesn't want anyone inside even though it appears to be easy to replace the hard drive, power supply, and fan. I see this as a commodity item where you replace instead of repair. I know that doesn't fit the mold of iFixit but at least they didn't glue it shut. If this model becomes the replacement for server farms, I would like to know how many Mac mini's are actually repaired when they fail and how many are simply replaced with new ones and fired back up (old ones either repaired or tossed).
Mac Mini Late 2014 Teardown
Sorry, didn't notice it was a security bit.
Mac Mini Late 2014 Teardown
That's weird. I use a Torx 6 a lot. Maybe not on Mac equipment but other devices.
Amazon Fire TV Teardown
Your conclusion doesn't match your email: "A stylish — yet hard to disassemble — black box full of fairly ordinary components. It was a doozy to take apart, and quite repair-unfriendly given that a single board holds all the vital components." You still give it a 6 yet your email makes it sound more like a 2. There's nothing to repair in the box, all you can do is replace the entire board.
As for the possible RFID sticker, I'd look into that a bit more. I see no reason to include something like this in manufacturing but Amazon could have ulterior motives with this device and even though it isn't attached to anything, it doesn't have to be. It could activate with a wireless signal and send data back over WiFi to Amazon.
HP Z820 Teardown
Does the HP come with a hand truck? Yes, everything is included in one giant box, whether you need it or not and everything pulls out without any screws but does this really make a good computer? I worked on cheap PCs that didn't use screws and wish they did because after they were moved a couple times, everything came loose. As for the power supply in this monster (either an 850W or 1125W available, that comes out to 7-9.3A), it would almost require a dedicated circuit to operate properly. I'd hate to see how hot this box runs as well. The late 2013 Mac Pro's max power usage is 270W and 921BTU/h. Part of iFixit's charter was supposed to be reduced use of energy isn't it? This monster is anything but power efficient so I'd put an asterisk by your repairability score and mention its high power usage, high cooling requirements, and heavy weight (most businesses have a two-person rule for lifting something this heavy).
Mac Pro Late 2013 Teardown
Apple answered my question today with a posting on their website: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6099?viewl....
It can be put on its side.
As for the MacStadium, I'd rather see the MPs installed within a ring enclosure (like a wine rack) allowing the maximum amount of airflow around them.
Mac Pro Late 2013 Teardown
Everybody wants to know if the new Mac Pro can be run on its side or at least tilted (for some kind of rack mounting). If you put the MP back together, can you see if the fan works properly? You mentioned the probability of it being balanced. What happens if it's tilted 45 degrees?
iPhone 5c Teardown
I wonder if the case is made out of plastic because it can be manufactured easier than the aluminum case. The video showing the injection molding, CNC detailing and drilling (aluminum can handle a much smaller hold than plastic since it doesn't melt at a low temperature), and robots "gluing" and placing the (probably stamped) steel antenna frames should be less expensive and faster to do than milling an aluminum block and finishing it. This process can be done in any country. I'd like to see how the individual components are added. It would be really fantastic if Apple were able to construct a robot and parts that could be totally put together my machine instead of requiring tiny hands to place tiny components and insert even tinier screws.
iPhone 5c Teardown
I'd much rather have the insides of my phone secured to the point where they don't fall apart in normal use. I believe that is why Apple is using glue. They don't want people coming in with phones with tiny connectors that fell apart when a little bit of glue would have kept them in place forever. I know iFixit stresses repairability but I'd rather have a device that doesn't require repairs every five minutes.

That reversal was the sole for Nifong dropping the rape charges.
I think we know the truth. She didn't change her story out of fear.
What is truly sorry about this case is Nifong, lying to the grand jury and evidence and then hiding the real evidence that blew out his case.
You know those actions by Nifong may allow a bunch of convictions to be overturned and remanded for retrial.

Some of the workouts are absolutely unachievable..eg. 1st exercise of a workout: 3 x 1min of pushups with 15sec breaks in between... yeah righto mate!! Maybe my settings somewhere are cranked to "olympian" but if you do your own quantity in your own time it is a great guide. Worth the money for sure

App is great, for creating a daily routine.

Very helpful fitness app especially if you need help coming up with a workout. It does crash every so often but that is the only issue I have had with this app.

Great potential but it appears this project has been abandoned. No support for months now and it has force close issues. Don't bother.

Rocky Mountain Chocolate FactoryRead MoreIf it weren't for Frank Crail, Durango, Colorado would have been a much different smelling place. Decades ago, when he and his family first settled in the mountain town, he was considering two different business ventures: a chocolate shop or a car wash. Luckily, he chose chocolate, and since then, the air in Durango has carried its distinctly sweet scent. Inside the flagship shop, as well as in the hundreds of international franchises that have popped up over the years, cooks simmer caramel and fudge in hand-forged copper kettles, dipping skewered apples in the bubbling caramel and pouring the fudge onto 500-pound slabs of marble that cool it as it's shaped into 22-pound loaves. Though they've now got a handle on efficient candy-making techniques, Frank and his early team members were hardly expert confectioners. In the beginning, all they had was a ping-pong table. Upon it, they would clumsily make too-big candy centers, which only got larger after needing several dips in chocolate to make them presentable. But now, oversize candy is one of Rocky Mountain's trademarks: two of their most popular items are the Bear, a "paw-sized concoction" of caramel, chocolate, and roasted nuts that will attack if it smells food, and the Bucket, an impossibly large peanut-butter cup with whipped filling. Shoppers can watch many of these creations being made right in-store, and satisfy their growing cravings with take-home candy packaged in decorative boxes and tins.7712 Union Park Ave.Midvale, UT US
Main Street Quality MeatsRead MoreMain Street Quality Meats is the delicious product of a merger between two cherished, time-honored butcheries—Quality Meats, which opened in 1956, and Main Street Poultry, which opened in 1958. Now in its fourth generation of family ownership, this landmark carves up the best of both shops, stocking residential and commercial kitchens across the Intermountain West with fresh beef, pork, and all-natural chicken. Eight journeyman meat cutters deftly slice up Korean–style ribs, boneless pork-loin roasts, and boneless chicken-breast tenders to give discouraged freezers a reason to be happy.2685 S Main St.South Salt Lake City, UT US
Physician for LivingRead MoreAnyone who's completed four full Ironman triathlons must know a thing or two about staying in shape. Add to that the fact that Dr. Brent Larsen is board certified by the American Board of Obesity Medicine and has studied the field since 2010, and it's clear why people trust his clinic to provide weight-loss and aesthetic services at SLC Med Spa. The clinic's weight-loss methods are based on scientific testing of the client's metabolism and body composition, a practice that allows the staff of certified personal trainers to draw up meal plans and recommend supplements with greater accuracy than if they were basing their advice on a horoscope stained with meat sauce. On occasion, CoolSculpting provides a machine-assisted boost by crystallizing fat cells with targeted cooling. Peels and injectables such as Botox and Dysport put the finishing touches on complexions as they smooth away blemishes and iron out wrinkles. Although clients are often there for their own good, the center doesn't feel like somewhere you'd visit as a chore. As guests await their treatments, they watch a flat-screen TV in a waiting room replete with leather furniture, earthen tones, and wood-paneled walls that reflect handsomely off the burnished tile floor.1511 E 2100 SSalt Lake City, UT US

Re: To Serpentine or not to Serpentine (BETA)
A serpentine option for $246.00 is a no brainer in my book. To me it is one of the best options to spring for and a steal at that price. Aftermarket serpentine kits cost $700.00 to $1000.00 and are not as nice as a factory made kit...

TRENTON, N.J. -- New Jersey residents affected by the severe storms and flooding caused by the April nor'easter should register with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for assistance first, then consider visiting a Disaster Recovery Center if they have questions or need additional information.
Residents and businesses with damage from the storms may register online anytime at www.fema.gov, or by calling 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Individuals with speech or hearing impairments should call (TTY) 1-800-462-7585. Registering is the first step to get disaster assistance. Even those who go in person to a Disaster Recovery Center will first be asked to register online or over a phone.
Six Disaster Recovery Centers opened at noon on Sunday. More will open in the coming weeks. Beginning Monday the centers will be open for 8am to 8pm every day until further notice. The initial Disaster Recovery Centers are located at:
Bound Brook Borough
St. Paul's Episcopal Church
Bound Brook,, NJ
Manville Borough
Manville Rescue Squad
2 South Third Ave.
Manville, NJ
Bergen County Office Building
1 Bergen Plaza (next to 10 Main St.)
Hackensack, NJ
Fairfield Township
Fairfield Community Center
376 Hollywood Ave.
Fairfield, NJ
Thomas Roger Building
2 Market Street, 2nd Floor
Paterson, NJ
Lumberton Municipal Building Parking Lot
34 Municipal Drive
Lumberton, NJ
"Once you've registered, consider coming to one of our Disaster Recovery Centers in person," says FEMA Federal Coordinating Officer Peter Martinesco. "There you'll get a lot of information about the process, and about preventing future damage. Also, you can get a low-interest loan from the Small Business Administration faster by filling out its application right away. Experienced SBA staff at the Disaster Recovery Centers will help you fill it out."
Low-interest disaster loans from the U. S. Small Business Administration, which have no closing costs or other fees, are the primary source of financial aid to residents who need to repair or rebuild and to businesses with physical damage or economic losses. Homeowners and renters also may be eligible for assistance in the form of grants.
FEMA coordinates the federal government's role in preparing for, preventing, mitigating the effects of, responding to, and recovering from all domestic disasters, whether natural or man-made, including acts of terror.

SSU Sports Report
The story line heading into the 2014 season for Shawnee State University softball is coach Ralph Cole, who is entering his 23rd season at the helm of the Bears.
Cole needs just one victory to join the 600-win club. He is currently the 10th-winningest active coach at the NAIA level with a career record of 599-293-2, a .671 career winning percentage.
Cole has guided the Bears to six NAIA Championship appearances, including a runner-up finish in the 1996 season. The 2014 team will be looking to makes it first trip back to the NAIA Tournament since the 2001 season.
Every softball team that hopes to find success needs to have a solid No. 1 pitcher and the Bears appear to have found one in junior Allie Chapman. Chapman was a first-team All-MSC selection last season. She posted a 2.18 ERA with a season record of 13-6. She started 19 games and threw a complete game in 17 of those contests, including no-hitters against Montreat and Bluefield. She posted five shutouts in total last year.
However, the Bears will have to deal with the graduation loss of four-time All-Conference pick Ali Thompson. Thompson won 51 games over her four seasons, which ranks as third-most in program history.
Senior Tara Prater and freshman Miranda Pauley appear to be the two front runners to fill the game two starter role. Prater pitched just five innings last season as Chapman and Thompson combined to pitch 36 complete games in 39 total contests.
Over three years, Prater has pitched in 39 games, making 20 starts. She has won 13 games in her career with a 3.04 career ERA. Pauley comes to SSU from local Notre Dame High School where she was former SOC Player of the Year and All-District honoree.
The Bears also return three second-team All-MSC selections from the 2013 season. Holly Brabson led the team in batting average last season at first base. The senior also finished with a team-best .403 on-base percentage.
Fellow senior Kirsti Yates, a three-time All-MSC honoree, hit .333 last year with eight home runs, while driving in 32 runs. She also recorded a .587 slugging percentage.
Sophomore Hannah Dittoe rounds out the trio of All-Conference picks in the infield. Dittoe slammed 10 home runs. The only player to hit more in a single season for the Bears was NAIA Hall of Famer Kim White who hit 14 home runs in 1996 and 17 home runs in 1997. Dittoe had a .602 slugging percentage for the season.
Behind the plate, Abbey Barrett also returns for one more year. Barrett started all but one game last season. She batted .282 with 21 RBI and .392 on-base percentage. A career .320 hitter with 74 RBI and 75 runs scored, Barrett was a first-team All-AMC honoree in 2010 and honorable mention All-MSC in 2011.
Hannah Foster also returns after a redshirt season last year, Foster played in 19 games as a freshman, starting 16 games in the 2012 season.
The outfield appears to have the most competition in the preseason for starting roles. Kelsey Jenkins hit .325 and scored 28 runs, while swiping eight bases near the top of the lineup last season. She looks to return to her spot in centerfield. Tara Prater, who could also pitch and fill in a designated player, made several starts in left field towards the end of the year. She got on base at .303 clip in 2013.
The Bears will have to replace another four-time All-Conference selection in right field with the graduation of Erica Leighty. Leighty hit .320 in her four years, including a career-best .336 last season. She also stole 41 bases in her career, which was the second-most in program history.
Tiffani Hale appeared in 17 games, making eight starts in the outfield last season between right field and designated player.
Freshmen Heidi Hall and Kristin Caudill are also vying for that final spot in the outfield. Three other freshman, catcher Miranda Melvin, catcher Jackie Sauder and third baseman Tara Duncan, also join the Bears for the 2014 season.
Softball will open the 2014 season with three straight doubleheaders against MSC completion. After opening the season against Georgetown on Tuesday, the Bears will host Lindsey Wilson and Cumberland this Friday and Saturday. In total, the Bears are currently scheduled to play 52 games during the 2014 season. This includes 20 games at Boone Coleman Field.

Even stock the BMW proved to be the bike with the most outright horsepower.
MotoUSA takes the latest Superbikes and put's them to the test in our annual Superbike Smackdown. Check out the 2010 Aprilia RSV4R in the
2010 Superbike Smackdown VII Track
Without the benefit of a lightweight racing exhaust the BMW was one of the heavier bikes in the test.
The BMW didn't offer the sharpest steering—it was predicable however and felt traditional compared to the other European machines.
The BMW is easy to hop on and ride but with 175 horsepower at the back tire it can be challenging to ride at an extreme pace.
All of our testers agreed that the BMW has the best front brakes in terms of feel.
The S1000RR logged high acceleration force numbers proving how effective it is at the racetrack.
The BMW feels like a hybrid cross between the CBR1000RR and Suzuki GSX-R1000 in handling and ergonomic fit.
The BMW's rocket of an engine helped it achieve the highest top speeds down Thunderhill's two straightaways.
Mid-pack scores in many of the handling categories held the BMW back from a better result.
The BMW tied the Yamaha for the highest average braking G forces.

Lely High graduate named one of 12 Obama Scholars in the nation
Taking tests makes a lot of kids nervous. And Carlos Gustavo Alas is no exception.
Three years ago when he had to take the Florida's Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) at Lely High School, the teenager, who had recently emigrated from Honduras, was terrified that he wouldn't pass the test because he couldn't speak English. With help and encouragement from his father, Carlos Enrique Alas, and his teachers, Carlos not only passed the FCATs, but also went on to graduate from high school with honors.
Passing the FCATs was one of the greatest challenges of this young man's life. It was also the subject of one of the essays that helped him win a two-year $5,000 scholarship from the Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF) and become one of only 12 college students nationwide this year to be named an Obama Scholar.
Obama Scholars are college juniors and seniors who received scholarships created by funding from President Barack Obama's Nobel Peace Prize. According to Frank Alvarez, CEO and president of HSF, when Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, he donated $125,000 of his prize money to HSF, the nation's leading Hispanic higher education fund.
With no real stipulation on how the money should be used, HSF created a scholarship program that was in keeping with the president's call for more diversity among teachers in the STEM fields of science, technology, engineering and math. The Obama Scholars Program, which is in its second year, awards 12 $5,000 scholarships each year to college students who desire to help the next generation by becoming STEM teachers.
Carlos, 20, who recently transferred from Edison State College in Naples to Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Ga., has chosen mechanical engineering as his major and aerospace engineering as his minor. He selected these fields because he enjoys building new things and improving on things that already exist.
"Our future will be better if we can build things more efficiently and not destroy our planet," Carlos said. He aspires to work on projects that will help Latin American countries enjoy the opportunities and lifestyles that we have here in the United States.
Alvarez said that more than 2,000 students applied for the scholarships this year. From there, HSF narrowed it down to 200, then 12. Students were chosen based on grade point average, financial need, essays and letters of recommendation.
"Being one of 12 guys from the whole country to win, I feel like my dreams are finally coming true," Carlos said.
He also said that, in addition to helping him financially, the scholarship also provided great motivation for him. "Knowing that I won the scholarship makes me try to be a better student and do better in my community."
While living in Naples, Carlos volunteered at St. Matthew's Thrift Shop on Airport-Pulling Road where he said he had a great time and learned a lot.
"I had the greatest time of my life being able to know that I was helping the volunteers help people who didn't have food or shelter," he said. "Being able to do that helped me to become a better person."
According to HSF materials, the nonprofit organization has awarded more than $330 million in scholarships over the past 36 years and has supported a broad range of outreach and education programs to help Latino students and their families navigate collegiate life.
"There's a disaster coming if the Hispanic community doesn't understand that they need more than a high school degree," Alvarez asserted.
Carlos, who has an older brother at the University of Florida and two younger siblings in high school and middle school here in Naples, said he would like to be a role model for Hispanic kids who think they can't achieve their dreams of going to college because their parents don't have the means to send them. He said that winning this scholarship proves that "guys like me can always realize their dreams if they work very hard."
Carlos credited his family for teaching him to be his best and for always being there for him. "My parents are really happy for me. They're proud that I'm at a great college and I'm working really hard to make my dreams come true."

I loved the pool. At this time of the year, I had it to myself quite a bit. I like that there are adult only times.
Hard to get luggage from car to room unless on the parking lot side.
I was here for a funeral and i was pleasantly surprised by value, staff, cleanliness, everything really, i would highly recommend it
Guests in the hallways were awfully loud (not the hotel's fault), though I couldn't help but think the doors were too thin. Everything else about the place was great.
Decent location, good value for the money. Rooms reasonably plain, but clean. Included breakfast adequate, staff was quite helpful. Hot Tub was also clean, and appeared to be well-kept. Bar appeared to be a nice little place, although didn't get to use it this trip.
Out of control kids!! Probably my mistake, as the Saturday night which we checked in was the last day of Mass Feb. vacation. I guess that I didn't realize how noisy it could be; additionally, being put in a room which was in the access hall to the pool made it almost unbearable. One would have thought that the staff would have put us in an out-of-the-way room. To be fair, the staff did post people in the hall in order to keep the ruckus down to a dull roar, and Sunday night was indeed much quieter, but I can't recommend this place to anyone who wants to be assured of a quiet stay. I don't think that I'll risk another night's sleep by staying here again on my next trip to the Cape.
The whole place was junk. The walls are so thin I might as well be in the next room with neighbors. The bathroom door had a hole in it. The shower floor was so old it was peeling away. The toilet ran all night and the furniture was very used at best
Clean and great location
They charge 20$ a dog and when checking out they say that you didn't pay to get another 20$ out of you. Get receipts!!
Good service with clean & comfortable room. Free breakfast in A.M. good amount of choices. Pure maple syrup for french toast on Sunday.
A few items at breakfast could be warmer (eggs on Saturday and french toast on Sunday.
staff was friendly and helpful.
hot items in the free breakfast pretty much sucked
I liked the location and price.
The beds were too firm with too few pillows. Was a little dated.
The hotel was very clean. The room was a decent size. The beds were comfortable. For the price, I thought it was an excellent deal. The hostess was very friendly and accommodating.
The towels were small and rough. There wasn't a microwave in the room. The handle on the bathroom door was broken and wouldn't lock. But, for an economy hotel, I was pleased! We were only staying one night for a funeral, so weren't looking for frills!
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The pool was refreshing and sparkling. Very nice on a hot day.
A few things did not work but the staff was very responsive.
Good location and clean. Nothing special but its just what you need. Beds and linens were clean, bathroom was spotless. Needs a facelift because its outdated but a good value overall.
The price and location
Dated, thin walls, pools and hot tub sketchy looking
Was in Hyannis for a wedding, found a great deal online that I couldn't pass up, upon arrival the staff was super friendly, the layout of the rooms are a little odd but oh well. Enjoyed the pool/hot tub which seemed a little dated but everything was great.
This were a little dated, the pool area... The layout of the hotel was different- could have been easier to find our way to the room but oh well.
The room was fairly large and came with a fridge and a coffee maker. The hotel was clean and fairly quiet and was located on the main drag in Hyannis, MA. The staff was friendly and helpful.
The hotel itself is spread out and was a pretty far walk from the lobby to the room. That was pretty much the only problem. We enjoyed our stay.
Everything. Their website is highly misleading. The room was nasty and service was terrible. I was at a conference all weekend and was exhausted from virtually working all day and dreaded having to go back to that hotel.
I love the location and have stayed many times because I thinks its the best location in Hyannis.
As per usual, although it is amongst the most expensive places to stay in Hyannis, the bar staff treats you like they are doing you a favor by serving you. Extremely unfriendly and un-welcoming. We left during the day to find a place we would be treated better. Its unfortunate, if the staffs treatment and attitude towards customers matched the excellent location it would be the best place in town.
The views and the fact it's on the beach are great qualities.
As a young couple with no kids the resort can get loud at times in the pool areas.
Current rating is just ONE star. So technically, this FAR surpassed a one-star rating and surpassed expectations on that level. Hotel has all the perks that the $--- a night place just down the road has, but for a way better rate. Friendly service too!
The only thing that was a little difficult was that we couldn't individually control the heat in the room. Being abnormally cold for the end of March, we would have preferred a tad more heat during our stay. But with enough layers on, it was fine.
Modern bathroom,flat screen tv, clean room
Noisy walking on deck can be heard from the room all night, no vending machines
The beds were comfortable and the location was convenient for our needs.
When I called reservations and asked for 2 doubles I was told a flat no. However when we arrived they switched the king with no problems.
nicely appointed rooms, comfortable beds, clean.

Not a Thing
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car hires can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

The confrontations between police and demonstrators at the Stonewall Inn in New York City the weekend of June 27-29, 1969 mark the beginning of the modern glbtq movement for equal rights.
Formed soon after the Stonewall Riots of 1969, the short-lived but influential Gay Liberation Front brought a new militancy to the movement that became known as gay liberation.
The sexual revolution of post-World War II America changed sexual and gender roles profoundly.
"Leather" is a blanket term for a large array of sexual preferences, identities, relationship structures, and social organizations loosely tied together by the thread of what is conventionally understood as sadomasochistic sex.
Although best known for her crusade for women's suffrage, Susan B. Anthony spoke out on a range of feminist issues.
With reports from hundreds of sub-Saharan African locales of male-male sexual relations and from about fifty of female-female sexual relations, it is clear that same-sex sexual relations existed in traditional African societies, though varying in forms and in the degree of public acceptance
Androgyny, a psychological blending of gender traits, has long been embraced by strong women, soft men, members of queer communities, and others who do not easily fit into traditionally defined gender categories.
A cultural crossroads between Asia and Europe, Russia has a long, rich, and often violent heritage of varied influences and stark confrontations in regard to its patterns of same-sex love.
Governor Jerry Brown.
On April 18, 2013, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments as to whether a California law prohibiting "reparative therapy" for minors is constitutional. Passed by the California legislature and signed by Governor Jerry Brown on September 29, 2012, the bill, which covers only state-licensed therapists, declares that "being lesbian, gay, or bisexual is not a disease, disorder, illness, deficiency, or shortcoming" that requires curing. Under the law, "any practices" that seek to change a minor's sexual orientation are deemed unprofessional conduct subject to discipline.
Soon after Governor Brown signed the bill into law, it was challenged in federal court by practitioners of reparative therapy. Two district judges issued conflicting decisions. One refused to block the law after ruling that the plaintiffs were unlikely to prove that it infringes on their civil rights, while another judge said he found the First Amendment issues presented by the ban to be compelling and ordered the state to temporarily exempt from the law the three people named in the case before him.
Technically, the issue before Ninth Circuit is whether the preliminary injunction barring enforcement of the law against the named plaintiffs will stay in place. But this ruling is crucial. As Scottie Thomaston at Equality on Trial observes, "The answer to the question of whether the law attempts to regulate protected speech or whether it only regulates aspects of the medical profession will likely have a huge impact on how the case proceeds. If the Ninth Circuit believes the law attempts to regulate speech that is constitutionally protected, then courts will have to scrutinize the 'conversion therapy' ban very carefully, making it less likely the ban would be upheld in the future. But if the court decides it's simply a permitted regulation of the medical profession, it would not face a heightened level of judicial scrutiny."
The panel, consisting of Chief Judge Alex Kozinski, Judge Susan Graber, and Judge Morgan Christen, heard nearly two hours of arguments before a packed courtroom. Attorneys for the therapists said that the law violates free speech and religious rights, while Deputy Attorney General Alexandra Robert Gordon argued that reparative therapy was dangerous and unprofessional and could be regulated by the state.
Scott Graham reports in Law.com that the panel "sounded ready Wednesday to uphold a state law that bans psychotherapists from trying to change minors' sexual orientation."
The Judges seemed sympathetic to the argument that the state had the power to regulate the medical profession, particularly in the area of pediatric care. If legislators wanted to ban the use of electroshock therapy or psychoactive drugs on minors, Judge Susan Graber asked, "why can't they do that?"
Attorneys for the practitioners of reparative therapy said that the law unconstitutionally dictates what they can say during counseling sessions.
When pressed for evidence that reparative therapy is harmful, Gordon acknowledged that there have not been many scientific studies of conversion therapy on children, because conducting them would be unethical. "When they become suicidal we'll know for sure this is a harmful practice--happily, the law does not require that," she said.
Graber noted that the state does not have to prove compelling evidence of harm if it concludes that psychotherapy is not speech. Gordon agreed. "The question you'd really be asking is, is that a reasonable regulation?" she said.
Kozinski cited an amicus curiae brief from individuals who underwent conversion therapy and described the intense emotional harm they endured.
Christen challenged Pacific Justice Institute's Kevin Snider, representing practitioners of reparative therapy, to point to evidence that conversion therapy actually helps teenagers become heterosexual.
"We don't have the burden of proving that it's effective or ineffective," Snider responded.
The judges seemed inclined to rule that the state had the power to regulate psychotherapy directed at minors. Judge Kosinski made a distinction between the rights of adults to seek therapy and the power of the state to protect minors from therapies that may be harmful.
The reparative therapy movement is rooted in the work of 1960s psychologists such as Irving Bieber and Charles Socarides, who claimed that homosexuality was both pathological and susceptible to change. When their position was repudiated by the 1973 decision of the American Psychiatric Association to remove homosexuality from the category of "illness," they launched a counter-offensive against the views of the psychological and psychiatric establishment.
In 1992, the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH) was established. Led by Joseph Nicolosi and Charles Socarides, and funded largely by right-wing religious and political organizations, NARTH is self-described as "a non-profit, educational organization dedicated to affirming a complementary, male-female model of gender and sexuality." It essentially espouses the view of homosexuality that was dominant in the 1950s and 1960s: that a homosexual "preference" results from a developmental problem, especially a child's failure to identify properly with adult figures of the same gender.
Sexual orientation change efforts pose serious health risks, including depression, shame, decreased self-esteem, social withdrawal, substance abuse, self-harm, and suicide. For minors, who are often subjected to these practices at the insistence of misled parents who either do not know or do not believe that the practice is harmful, the risks of long-term mental and physical health consequences are particularly severe.
In June 2011, Ryan Kendall, a young man who subsequently testified in favor of the bill banning reparative therapy for minors, spoke with Anderson Cooper about his experience with reparative therapy.

This won't eliminate smells, but does help in between clean-ups. It has a natural citrus smell which is better than some of those spray cans scents. It is convenient but only lasts 1 month.

Barcelona - Barcelona launched a new Facebook application on Wednesday designed to help the Spanish, European and world champions engage more effectively with their 28 million global fans on the social networking site.
FCB Alert would allow fans to access interactive features including games, polls, video and other multimedia content, and share it with fellow supporters, developer MicroStrategy said in a statement.
The Virginia-based business intelligence software company also said fans could follow news about the Catalan club and its partners and sponsors, and purchase Barca merchandise.
Barca will be able to crunch the data fans are asked to submit to gain a more accurate understanding of what their followers in countries such as United States, Mexico, Brazil, Indonesia and China are interested in and how best to serve them.
"Alert is the perfect way to reach the club's tremendous Facebook following, both locally and worldwide," said Didac Lee, Barca's director of new technology.
"Using the Alert platform is a big step forward on multiple fronts and connecting to our fan base at a deeper level is what we're here for."
Barca have the most fans of any sports club on Facebook with 28.3 million clicking on the "Like" button on their page. Spanish rivals Real Madrid are second with 25.9 million, followed by English Premiership club Manchester United in third with 23.5 million.
The Los Angeles Lakers NBA team have 12.5 million fans, while baseball's New York Yankees have 5.3 million.
The new application would be officially unveiled at a news conference in Barcelona on Thursday, MicroStrategy said.

Best Should Teach Initiative strives to acknowledge excellence in teaching and academic leadership. The initiative is managed by the Graduate Teacher Program in coordination with the School of Education, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Graduate School at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Lindley and Marguerite Stiles established the initiative in 1996 to promulgate the message that "The Best Should Teach."
A Best Should Teach sculpture designed by John Haertling which represents the flame of enlightenment is installed at the School of Education on the University of Colorado Boulder campus as a visual reminder of the initiative and of the importance of teaching.
Each year at the Best Should Teach event, faculty from the Boulder campus who exemplify exceptional teaching, educational leadership, and service receive the Best Should Teach Gold Award. Additionally, graduate students who demonstrate outstanding teaching, educational leadership, and service receive the Best Should Teach Silver Award.
The School of Education at the University of Colorado Boulder supports the Best Should Teach Initiative by recognizing an outstanding undergraduate in Education each year. The student receives a Best Should Teach Flame of Enlightenment pin and plaque at graduation. At the Best Should Teach should Teach Ira & Ineva Baldwin Lecture each year, the School of Education also awards gold Best Should Teach pins to several teachers from the local public schools.
The Gold Best Should Teach Award
The Gold Best Should Teach Award recognizes faculty who represent excellence in all aspects of university work. To receive the Best Should Teach Award, they must have 1) already received one or multiple teaching awards, and have consistently high FCQ scores, 2) demonstrated educational leadership through contributions to improving college teaching on the Boulder campus, or through work to improve teaching in primary and secondary education, and 3) contributed their time to programs that support the improvement of teaching at all levels, for example, the Faculty Teaching Excellence Program, The Presidential Scholars Program, the Graduate Teacher Program, Faculty Affairs, LEAP, discipline-based educational research, or other appropriate venues.
The Best Should Teach Committee (made up of current organizers and/or former award winners) selects up to four candidates each year. Awardees receive a certificate signed by the Dean of the Graduate School, the Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences, and the Dean of the School of Education.

Art can be a very rewarding thing if you approach it in a very open way. As a teacher and businessman in the art and illustration fields, I have seen and experienced art at many, many different levels, everything from a high-pressure, under-the-gun approach to a very easy-going playful experience. I can truthfully say I like the playful approach much better and sometimes it is hard to adapt from one level to another. If you are fortunate enough to run into good advisors along the way as I have, the experience can be one of positive growth.
I do not teach art at a professional level anymore. I had more than enough of that training employees just out of art school. The reality of creating on demand was somewhat new to them. The overnight deadline really threw them. The extreme pressure is very real and has a tendency to create mental and physical trauma. I now teach for the pleasure of creating something my students like and want to do a good job when finished. To that end I draw upon a lifetime of experiences to help them in the process. But what is more important I help them measure their progress and let them know what to expect out of themselves realistically. As they then progress we take on new and different challenges, if they wish. "If they wish" being the key idea for how fast they wish to move. Often I will actually hold them back from certain projects because I know the many extra challenges they will face and I do not feel that it will be a positive experience for them. The end painting is not really the objective but the total experience is.
We are a society devoted to the end product and this is the source of most of our frustration. In the type of class I conduct I focus on the total experience of the painting process. The end product I have learned through a lot of experience will take care of itself especially if the total painting endeavor has been a good and positive one.
Right now, in all of my classes for the last few years, it has been focused on the pleasure that one gets from painting. I use a hands off approach for most of my classes unless I am demonstrating a technique. When there is a need for advice, I am there. I usually give several ways to resolve their perceived problem and they can choose one or combine some to help them move on to the next step.
I believe that painting when presented in easily comprehended segments can be a very enjoyable process for both the student and the teacher. Some people in my class use it as a safety net in case they need help. Most of the time they work on their own just fine. I do not feel that I should impose my ideas or thoughts on them. I let them proceed at the level and speed they feel comfortable with. The actual class environment may be more of a social time than an educational time. The safety net environment is beneficial to most who enjoy working and learning on their own. Art is enjoyable only when it meets or fits your needs or expectations. My approach is very low key and seems to fit most of the participants needs and desires.
If someone wants a highly disciplined class environment, the colleges and art schools provide this need. There is a step between the low key and highly disciplined and that is usually in night classes provided by art guilds or gallery studio classes. They are especially good for beginners who want more of the whole story of creating with an objective or goal in mind. Guild and gallery classes provide a good environment for this group with higher motivations. This is a good stepping stone for those who think they may want to make a career out of art. A few of these classes are very helpful in preparing for college or art school studies.
There are a lot of opportunities to learn art at different levels with different goals here in London, Ohio.

It is no secret that over the past several years both commercial and residential property values in Clark County, Nevada have plummeted, and in some places, continue to fall. Recently, values have increased in certain areas of the state and foreclosures have slowed. However, despite decreased property values, property taxes have stayed the same or have increased.
It is estimated that nearly 60 percent of all property owners in Clark County are paying too much for their property taxes. Only 2 percent of property owners are taking the necessary actions to contest the taxes in order to reduce the amount they pay.
In the past two fiscal years, I have helped my clients save more than $750,000 in property taxes and reduce their taxable values by over $40,000,000. The January 15, 2013 deadline to contest property taxes for the 2013-2014 fiscal year is rapidly approaching. The appeal period opens in December 2012.
At Lewis and Roca, we help property owners determine whether to take the necessary steps to reduce their property taxes for the coming year. For properties that qualify, we represent property owners in Clark County property tax appeal cases based on a contingency agreement. A contingency agreement means that unless we are successful in helping property owners reduce property taxes, we receive no fee.
If the taxable value of your property exceeds the full cash value, you may be paying too much for property taxes, and you may have grounds to dispute the taxable value and receive a reduction in your property taxes.
For more information about property tax reduction options, please contact Don Martin at (702) 474-2610 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
