No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the house. But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if, entertaining as I do opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony. The question before the house is one of awful moment to this country.
This intangible thing we call freedom is interpreted differently by just about every individual, but one aspect that's not open for debate is that we enjoy freedom because of the sacrifices made by countless men and women of our armed forces. We must never question that freedom is worth fighting for, and dying for. That very concept was the genesis of the United States of America.
Each Veterans Day is a solemn occasion when we, as a nation, reflect and show gratitude to those who have served or are currently serving in our military and the families who support them. On this Veterans Day, I'd especially like to thank New Mexico's veterans for their commitment to protect our country and its interests. New Mexico has a long and proud history of military service, and we are honored to have many living testaments to American bravery in our state.

This costume is cute but completely see though. and the leg warmers are huge they're only tight aroung the very top and then flair out big time. Overall pretty dissappointing I really dont think it's worth the money.

Comments about Magical Unicorn Adult Womens Costume:
very cute costume, but like the other reviewer said, it seems to be a bit short. also, the horn is poorly made. when it came in the mail and i opened it up, the sequins on the horn were falling off and the horn wasn't fully attached to the headband. which seems like it will be an easy fix, hopefully. but overall i really like it. it's a little plain, but i like that, you can accessorize it the way you like and make it unique. i think it'll be really fun to wear for halloween.

This costume is really cute!I plan to wear it to halloween parties. However the only issue i have with the costume is that it is really short. I am 5'7 weight 130 and ordered a sm\med it barely covers my bottom so i plan to wear shorts. The costume looks just like the model's picture. Its not see through. overall its a good costume.

With the limited exception of those of us lucky enough to live in Vermont, this is a lousy time to be a liberal. And it's not going to get any better.
After years of battling Republican Gov. Jim Douglas, Democrats and Progressives in the Legislature have the luxury of working with new Democratic Gov. Peter Shumlin. While Shumlin has put the kibosh on increasing taxes for the super-rich — he knows that would be political poison in his first term — he has otherwise set a remarkably progressive tone.
My name is Greg and I am a Vermontaholic. This is my story.
As with so many other Vermontaholics, my addiction started in childhood.
They say that parents should keep their kids away from the hard stuff, and that was certainly true in my case. I'm one of many for whom, at a tragically young age, the gateway drug was skiing.
I could handle it OK when my parents took me skiing near home in central New York State. Even in the Adirondacks at Whiteface and Big Tupper, I didn't get addicted.
Barbara and Shawn Thompson-Snow used to think they could live out the American Dream.
With good jobs and college educations, in their early 50s they seemed set for a happy ending. Ahead of them stretched a few more years of full-time work — then the chance to cut back to part-time, to travel and enjoy life.
Five college loans later and with a second kid still in college, that now seems like a laughable fantasy. They might as well try flapping their arms and flying from their Lincoln home to the top of Mt. Abe.
I'm going to write my next column about the Zamboni, I said to her.
She looked up from her Garnet Hill catalog and peered over the top of her glasses. She put down the catalog, its cover bright with spring fashions: "Why on earth would you want to write a column about the Zamboni, of all things?"
Everybody loves the Zamboni. It's got a funny name and goes round and round turning distilled water into ice as smooth as glass. What could be cooler than that?
On most mornings this time of year, she gets out of bed at 5 a.m. so she can be at the rink at 6.
Some days she has company from other skaters, whom she joins in rehearsals for synchronized numbers they'll perform as a group in the Winter Carnival ice show.
Other mornings, though, she's alone. The ice is fresh from the previous night's Zamboni sweep and the only sound is the scrape of her skates. She practices her solo routine or works on "moves in the field" so she can pass the next test of skating proficiency.
Pity the poor liberals. They spent decades convincing Americans that it was a good thing for women to be strong, high-profile leaders. So who comes along and grabs the mantle of the high-profile political woman? Not a liberal, but the dreaded Sarah Palin.
Then after years of creating space for men to be more in touch with their feelings, liberals have to watch new Speaker of the House John Boehner — he of the tough-guy politics and country club demeanor — become the most emotive man in public life.
It's enough to make progressives want to go out and burn a bra.
It's right about this time of year that some of us begin to wonder why we ever thought it was a good idea to live in Vermont in the first place: Two weeks after Christmas and three more months of wintry weather to come.
Couldn't God have just skipped January (and maybe November) and given us only the shocking green of spring, the lazy warmth of summer, and the gold of autumn?
Sure, we'll take a few weeks of late winter thrown in there for good measure, complete with longer days and fresh maple syrup.
But as for January? A lot of us would just as soon hit the fast-forward button.
For skiers, no website is as bittersweet as the one dedicated to the New England Lost Ski Areas Project.
NELSAP chronicles the history of the scores of New England ski areas that have closed their doors over the past 70 years.
There was a ski area in Bristol, for example. The website quotes a 1939 source, "Ski Trails in the East and How to Get There":
It's way too early to get a Christmas tree, I said.
But V. and S. had other ideas.
I grew up in a family that reserved the annual finding and cutting of the tree until the day of Christmas Eve. To their way of thinking, the day after Thanksgiving isn't too early.
The first weekend of December, in my childhood experience, was for paging through the Sears catalog and figuring out if you were going to ask Santa for a new bike or a Fanner Fifty cap gun.

Buc'n Battle Report: I Hate The Brewers
I Hate The Brewers
Losing 6 of 7 against any team is never good but why does it have to be those guys. I'm not particularly fond of any of the other NL Central teams but none of them irk me like the Brewers do. The Pirates still have 12 more games against them so plenty of time to bounce back.
Grilli Blows 2 Saves
I'm not going to panic about Grilli like some are. The general thought is he has been off since his injury and in a way he has but his velocity is back up to where it should be and really these last two games were a result of being too aggressive with a very good hitter. There is little doubt Grilli is no longer the Pirates best bullpen arm (I don't think he was last year either) but he still is a solid back end option. For now let's give him a chance to regroup.
Wandy Out
Some are calling this a phantom injury and are wondering if we will see Wandy again. I'm not really buying any of those. The knee injury seems to fit. Contrary to popular belief Rodriguez really hasn't lost anything on his fastball he has been sitting in the high 80s, touching 90 for a few years now. Stuff wise I don't see anything wrong with his pitches; it is his command of those pitches that has gotten him into trouble. To me it seems logical that an injured knee on your plant leg could be affecting your ability to place the ball where you want. I expect Wandy to return and be at least serviceable.
Ike Davis Trade
I think I gave my thoughts quite well about two weeks ago when I explained why I liked Ike. He looks like a great platoon partner for Gaby and I think that duo will set the Pirates up well at the position this year. The price so far looks great but of course I'll reserve judgement until we hear who the PTBNL is. My guess is JaCoby Jones which I would be ok with.
Andrew Lambo
The one negative about the Davis trade is that it will at least temporarily prevent us from seeing what Lambo has. So far this season he has looked good in AAA and honestly I think there is a reasonable chance he could have provided similar production to what Davis will but I understand the rationale behind the move. Nonetheless its good to have quality depth both at 1B and the corner outfield.
Chris Stewart Returns
Aside from a few defensive miscues I think Tony Sanchez handled himself well in the majors and he looks like he has a good chance of being a productive starting catcher for them starting next year. Still I find myself not quite as upset with the activation as Stewart as I originally thought I would be. Stewart by all accounts seems to be a perfectly capable backup catcher and while his offense is terrible I think his defense and limited playing time will make that a minor issue. Overall I'm happy the Pirates have three quality major league catchers to use throughout this season.
The Brawl
Have to cover it here but I really don't have much to say. It was great to see some fire from the Pirates regarding the Brewers and while Cole probably shouldn't have yelled at Gomez I really have no problem with it. Snider will probably be suspended here in the coming days and I think that's fair but again I have no problem with his actions.

With all the un-necessary stress it was time to relax over breakfast and on to Pe Ella I rode.
Eveys looked like it might have a nice meal.
The bucket on the roof makes me wonder what its for.
While I was having breakfast people came and went and it was clear it was the local meeting place. They were all older folks and some, maybe most, retired. They were talking and I was listening . They talked about farming and the crops. They talked about other people in the area. They talked politics. They talked about their hopes and dreams. There was a couple talking with another couple and the one lady talked about how they saved all their lives to travel and now they were retired and would be able to as soon as he finished recovering from his stroke. They appeared to be in their 70s and the man looked like he was in very bad shape, barely able to walk and dragging an oxygen bottle behind him. Sadly I dont think that lady is going to be able to achieve her dream of traveling with the man she loves.
The closer I get to my retirement years I worry I wont have the money to do the things I want because I have spent my life doing things I wanted. Then I see people like that who worked and saved their entire lives to get to retirement but not able to enjoy it. At least when I am forced to stop doing thing I do either because of health or lack of money at least I will have my memories and ton of pictures.
The stools looked lonely
I like quaint small town churches. They always make me feel positive about the world and they remind me to say a little prayer and be thankful for the good things in life.
For a bit the ride wasnt all that spectacular
Then I saw the Menlo store and I smiled while memories ran around in my mind.
In 2007 I attended a rally that is located be
hind that store. There was about 100 people and only 3 or 4 women. I was a bit intimidated since I was still new in the adventure world, I didnt know anyone, and certainly the minority with being a woman. I tried to talk with a few people but I was really out of my element and I was having a difficult time making connections. Not that the people werent friendly, they were, but I was being insecure.
As I was walking across the field which was the camping area I spotted the nicest looking bike ride in. I was riding my F650 but I hadnt seen a black and white F650 Dakar before and it really got my attention. It had a nice assortment of farkles which just added to it. I had to get a closer look so I was required to talk to its owner.
All in all that wasnt a bad thing because the owner was alinbeaverton now know as Loud Al and he became a good friend.
Thoughts of meeting Allan made me smile then I thought about the rest of the weekend, the riding class and another friend, Tantrum, showing up and her trail makeup.
Yep, someday if I get to the point where I cant do much I will still have good memories, very good memories.

Polyurethanes: regulatory cost pressures spur foam formulators.
Finding effective approaches to compensate for these regulatory cost pressures was a focal point in several of the technical presentations at the recent Polyurethanes 2003 Conference and Expo in Orlando, Fla., sponsored by the Alliance for the Polyurethanes Industry (API). Other highlights included innovative PUR solutions for automotive interior applications.
Conversion update
The conversion to blowing agents with zero ozone-depletion potential (ODP) has been taking place in all major segments of rigid foam production. This year heralded the phase-out of HCFC-141b, which has been the leading blowing agent for PUR insulation since it replaced CFCs. Production of 141b ceased as of last Jan. 1, and its use as a blowing agent in PUR insulation is to be eliminated as of Jan. 1, 2005, as mandated by the U.S. EPA. The phase-out date for production of HCFC-22 and HCFC-142b, which have lower ODP but also very limited use in PUR insulation foam, is Jan. 1, 2007.
The two categories of preferred replacement blowing agents are the HFCs and the hydrocarbons. In North America, HFC-245fa and to a lesser extent HFC-134a are the two key contenders, while cyclopentane, n-pentane, isopentane, and blends of these are the most popular hydrocarbons.
HFC-245fa is the predominant choice in U.S. appliance applications, where non-flammability and high thermal insulation properties are needed to meet strict energy-efficiency requirements on the finished products. HFC-245fa is popular despite its higher cost--$4.50/lb vs. $1.20/lb for HCFC-141b, and 70 cents/lb for cyclopentane/isopentane blends.
While it costs about half as much as HFC-245fa, HFC-134a has the disadvantage that it is a gas at normal ambient conditions (boiling point is 15 F) and it results in foams with higher thermal conductivity than HFC-245fa (which boils at 59 F). I, contrast, HFC-245fa foams generally result in very little change in energy usage of refrigerators/freezers compared with HCFC-141b foams.
HFC-245fa has been sold in commercial quantities under the name Enovate 3000 for a year by the sole North American producer, Honeywell International. It's important to note that the first-generation HFC-245fa systems were based on simple drop-in replacement of the blowing agent at typical HCFC-141b levels, but the newer systems utilize higher water levels for co-blowing with CO2. Significant progress is being made in optimizing foam performance while reducing the cost of HFC-245fa foams.
HFC-245fa is also gaining ground in production of discontinuous metal panels used in applications such as walk-in coolers and refrigerated warehouses. It is also being evaluated in production of water heaters, although that market appears to be leaning toward pentane.
In the polyisocyanurate (PLR) board-stock market, where cost and the need for a liquid blowing agent system are more crucial, hydrocarbons and their blends are now the preferred choice.
In PUR spray foams for insulating walls, roofs, tanks, and spas, HFC-245fa blended with high levels of water is emerging as the preferred blowing system over pentane. This is driven by fire performance and processing safety considerations as well as insulation value.
In automotive integral-skin foams, skin-quality requirements are being met with CO2, HFC-134a, or hydrocarbons.
Cutting costs in appliances
Various approaches are being explored to reduce the cost of HFC-245fa appliance foams. For example, Huntsman Polyurethanes reported on two ways of minimizing foam cost. One way is to substitute water for equivalent reductions in HFC-245fa loading. A second is to ensure maximum retention of the HFC-245fa in the polyol blend.
Huntsman researchers showed that HFC-245fa appliance systems can use lower levels of the blowing agent than was the case with HCFC-141b. Huntsman evaluated a range of [CO.sub.2] levels and found very little change in thermal conductivity between 25% and 45% [CO.sub.2] blowing. Lower levels of
HFC-245fa are desirable not just because of cost but also to reduce the vapor pressure of this low-boiling agent. According to Huntsman, the thermal insulation of the higher-[CO.sub.2] systems is maintained because of improved density distribution and cell-size reduction in foams with higher water levels. Physical properties of the foam also were not negatively affected by the higher [CO.sub.2] levels.
For HCFC-141b-containing polyol systems, storage and day tanks are typically blanketed with about 10 psi of nitrogen or dry air. Huntsman's HFC-245fa polyol-blend retention study determined that when 45 to 50 psi blanket pressure was maintained, the amount of blowing-agent loss was kept in the low range of 1% to 1.5%
Researchers from Bayer Polymers reported at the conference on promising foam systems with reduced levels of HFC-245fa. A typical 245fa foam formulation uses a small amount of water and contains about 13% HFC245fa at the mix-head. A test foam formulation with 11% 245fa and high water level reduced the density of the foam by 5% with no negative effect on any physical properties except thermal conductivity. The additional water resulted in a slight increase in k-factor (0.134 Btu-in./hr-[ft.sup.2]-F[degrees]@75F vs. 0.130 for the control. However, a 5% decrease in cost/lb was achieved with the high-water formulation. When coupled with the density reduction, it translated to a 10% overall reduction in material cost/cu ft of foam.
Bayer researchers also showed that foam cost reduction can be achieved by improving foam properties. Using a specially modified polyol, Bayer produced two test foams with elevated water levels and 12% or 10% 245fa. Although the higher water levels drove up the k-factor slightly, overall material cost reductions per cubic foot of foam were 5% and 10%, respectively.
Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. reported on new Dabco PM200, a blowing-agent-enhancing (BAE) additive designed specifically for HFC-245fa blown appliance foams. This novel additive has inherent surfactant properties and reportedly eliminates the need for a conventional silicone surfactant in the polyol blend. Furthermore, it produces a significant reduction in viscosity of the blend and allows 10% to 20% lower use levels of HFC-245fa--or reduced density at the same levels--while maintaining thermal and mechanical properties. PM200 reportedly shows good potential for use in other HFC applications such as spray foam.
Better building insulation
Great Lakes Chemical reported on flammability evaluations of novel flame retardants in PIR boardstock insulation blown with hydrocarbons. Great Lakes said the switch to hydrocarbons has reduced the ability of the standard hot-plate test to predict flammability performance of PIR roofing boards in the Factory Mutual Calorimeter test (FM 4450). PIR roofing board that now passes the standard hot-plate test generally fails the calorimeter test in constructions without a cover board. Great Lakes has focused on developing a new small-scale predictive test so that PIR roofing board without a cover board can meet FM requirements.
Great Lakes researchers tried two new hot-plate procedures, both of which indicate that new brominated flame retardants outperform the two chlorinated phosphate esters (TCEP and TCPP) currently used in virtually all PIR roofing boards. Both phosphates are under review by the European Risk Assessment (EURA) board, and concerns about human toxicity have been raised.
To compensate for the higher flammability of the blowing agent, the isocyanate index of hydrocarbon-blown PIR foam is typically raised to about 300, vs. 265 for HCFC-141b foam. Recent industry efforts are centered on reducing the index of hydrocarbon-blown foam to reduce costs. Great Lakes researchers identified CN-2837 as the best-performing of the experimental flame retardants with the new predictive test in foams with a range of iso indexes. At the lowest index (250), there was less shrinkage during the burn test. Also, the low-index foam expanded to a greater extent during the charring process.
Bayer Polymers reported on a Class I HFC-245fa rigid PUR foam system for discontinuous metal panels used in walk-in coolers and refrigerated warehouses. This system met Class I requirements at 3.5-in. thickness and will next be tested at 6-in. thickness to expand its market potential. This system reportedly processed well, and panels demolded after 30 min. The foam quality was said to be very good, although the panels were initially not as firm as HCFC-141b panels. Bayer researchers are working to improve the firmness of the foam system at demolding and to further optimize its physical and processing properties.
Honeywell discussed results of a foam aging study that compared k-factor performance of PIR boardstock produced with HCFC-141b, n-pentane, cyclopentane, and Enovate 3000 HFC-245fa. When tested at the standard mean temperature of 75 F (average of hot and cold sides of the sample), all the foams performed similarly, though Enovate 3000 showed slightly better performance, Honeywell said. When tested at lower mean temperatures (more representative of winter conditions), Enovate 3000 foams reportedly outperformed all others, particularly those blown with hydrocarbons because pentane condenses in the cold foam cells, resulting in an abrupt drop in insulation performance.
Burn testing flexible foams
In early 2002, the State of California proposed a change to the CAL TB 117 flammability test, which has been the de facto industry standard for furniture foam in the U.S. since 1975. Although the revision is stiff in draft form, optimization of foam formulations to meet the new flame-retardant specs will be a key technical issue facing all foamers supplying the U.S. furniture industry.
At the conference, Degussa Gold schmidt Chemical discussed the impact of silicone surfactants on flammability of flexible slabstock foam, specifically comparing the new CAL TB 117/draft 2002 with established flammability tests. The evaluation determined that the right selection of surfactant can reduce the consumption of flame retardant. In comparison with conventional surfactants, some of Goldschmidt's developmental silicone types reportedly can allow up to 30% reduction in the FR level. Goldschmidt's research also determined that the new CAL TB 117/draff 2002 is not necessarily more severe than the old CAL TB 117. Rather, any difference in foam performance in the two tests depends on the FR package used and the foam density.
Goldschmidt researchers concluded that for the optimal choice of silicone surfactant, a laboratory screening is absolutely essential once the new furniture test is established and the optimum FR package is selected. The company is equipped to perform all types of' burn tests at its new Polyurethanes Competence Center in Hopewell, Va.
Flammability wasn't the only aspect of flexible-foam performance discussed at the conference. BASF reported on a new all-MDI slabstock foam technology that is said to offer superior processing, excellent physical properties and durability, and the ability to fine-tune the "feel" and performance of the foam with minor adjustments. This Pluracel viscoelastic, "slow-recovery" foam technology is initially targeted for mattresses.
Pluracel foam formulations require no tin catalyst, exhibit fast cure, and are sufficiently open-celled that they do not require crushing. They also retain much of their slow recovery after fatigue. The fine cell structure is said to provide a soft, luxurious feel. Moreover, Pluracel foam reportedly passes the CAL TB 117 flammability test without any flame retardant. All of these desirable properties can be achieved over an extremely wide density range of 2.3 to 13 pcf. The technology is under development for molded foam used in high-end furniture cushions.
Auto interior innovations
Cannon gave an update on its "RIM skin" technology for soft-feel skins of interior components like door and instrument panels. Cannon says the RIM skin process produces less waste than spraying PUR skins in the mold. Cannon also says the RIM skin process will enable manufacturers to make car interior components that consist of just two layers--skin and rigid substrate--made of the same material. Compared with typical three-component (skin, foam, substrate) systems involving three materials, the all-PUR approach is said to offer easier recycling and superior design flexibility for incorporating airbags. The technology also has potential for seats and furniture.
Cannon reported that a major European auto-interior component supplier recently installed a plant to make door panels with an RRIM substrate containing 15% to 20% chopped glass and 7% recycled PUR. Initial production utilizes a PVC door skin, but prototype RIM skins are being tested. The complete plant includes two turntables with clamps and RRIM molds, two Cannon HE cylinder-type metering machines, and a recycling system to grind and reuse PUR from doors and bumpers.
Bayer's Hennecke Machinery division reported on its own SkinRIM technology for door and instrument panels. This closed-mold pouring process produces PUR cast skins that reportedly reduce or eliminate "grain washout," a common problem when PVC skins are thermoformed into complex contours. SkinRIM reportedly produces PUR skins of 0.5 to 3 mm using Hennecke's standard HK series metering units and MQ mixhead. Like Cannon, Hennecke advocates producing an all-PUR instrument panel by pouring or spraying a PUR skin and then pouring onto it a rigid PUR composite substrate that can be as thin as 1.5 mm. The latter can be produced with Hennecke's FipurTec Plus process using glass rovings or its NafpurTec variant using natural fibers.
An innovative application for Cannon's Foam-in-Place (FIP) gasket technology was described by company researchers. FIP gasketing, which utilizes a low-pressure dispensing mixhead, typically has been limited to electrical enclosures, lighting, filters, and drum lids. The new application is encapsulating an automotive rear quarter window. FIP has the advantage of curing at room temperature and provides a continuous seal with no seams that could cause leakage.
Cannon has supplied two turnkey systems in Europe for this new application. One is used to dispense a PUR gasket on an EPDM encapsulated window for a new automobile. Utilizing a Cannon shuttle table, 10 windows are being foamed on one platen while an equal number of parts on a second platen are being unloaded and loaded up for the next batch. The process includes plasma surface pretreatment of parts on the shuttle table before foaming. Total cycle is less than 40 sec per window, which is said to result in estimated production capacity of 1 million parts/yr.
At the second installation, the window glass is loaded on a Cannon Technos Shuttle Bed Clamp and indexed into a Cannon-Sandretto injection molding machine, which encapsulates the window with EPDM material. After demolding, the parts are placed on a conveyor and transferred to the FIP gasketing station.
Hennecke reported on a significant upgrade to its WKH oval conveyor for foaming car seats. WKH now incorporates the newly patented, automatic QCD (Quick Connect/Disconnect) station for mold carriers. A typical mold carrier can accommodate up to three bucket-seat molds, two 60/40 molds, or a single bench-seat mold. With QCD technology, carriers for production of various seat models can enter and exit the oval conveyor system "on the fly" and at full conveyor speed. This allows for off-line mold set-up, preparation, and maintenance without halting production.

Hi all,
I bought a couple of flyer mockups and I'm pretty happy with the quality bar one thing: they seem to have different dimensions! Especially the second one I bought is way taller than any US letter or A4 format. That means I really have to stretch my flyer designs to make them fit on the mockup, and it's quite noticeable. (one of them explicitly states that its made for A4 – but it's definitely not!)
I don't want to Keep on buying mockups until I find one that fits – could anyone make any suggestions? Which ones are you using? (I always create both US letter and A4 versions of my flyers, so either is fine)
I don't like the ones with hands, I prefer the ones where they lie on the floor with the little bend something…
I hope this thread is okay, but didn't know where else else to ask!
Okay, here's at least a partial solution. I'm not sure if this is common knowledge but maybe it helps someone with the same problem:
Basically the smart object where you paste your artwork in can also have transparent areas. So just don't use the full height of the smart object, leave a top margin transparent, and it won't show in the main render.
You may have to adjust the underlying shadows a little so they do not overflow.
That actually gives some decent results without the need for the smart object to have exactly A4 all US letter-size.

Wonderful place for quiet beach vacation
There is a dishwasher but it is not working.
Everything is there to cook basics meals.
To be honest, this not a 5 stars hotel but the price is also based on this type of hotel when we compare with newer hotels or condo. We must not think to pay for a 3 stars hotel and obtain a 5 stars. The resort is old and need to be renovated to be up to date, but they keep it clean. The heated pool is renovated and very nice. The beach and pool staff is absolutely helpful and courteous. The beach is just amazing. Yes, if you want chairs on the beach, you will have to pay $35 for 2 chairs and an umbrella, but honestly, no need to be on the beach, the pool is right on the beach and they have a lot of chairs.
Will come back and I definetely recommend this studio unit.
And thank You to Maurice for his welcoming and disponibility.
Another wonderful vacation

Lovely appartment
Everything worked as it should and we needed nothing.
Might point out that you have to pay 35 $ for hire of sun chairs on the beach, it's a bit expensive.
We will definitely recommend this apartment to other visitors.
Thanks to Maurice for a pleasant visit.
Great vacations in a great apartment
The apartment is in excellent condition, very clean, fully equipped with great quality towels and bed sheets, and the kitchen works great and it has every utensil you may need.
The beds are really confortable and big. It also has a great view of the beach since it's on a 5h floor facing the ocean. The balcony has two chairs and a side table so you can enjoy your breakfast o coffee while enjoying the view.
After spending 11 days in Mark's apartment I really recommend it, we had no problems at all and spent a really wonderful vacation.
A really great plus of the apartment is that's located on the oposite corner of the trash disposal so there's no chance you'll have a bad smell.
Mark thanks for your great attention and fast replies to all my emails, I'm really glad we rented your unit.

Traci Braxton might wind up clashing with one of the Bravo housewives on "Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars."
First impressions are everything, so Gretchen Rossi is not starting things off on a good foot with Traci. After dubbing herself "The White Oprah" because she openly admits to being nosy, Traci had some silent shade for the former "Real Housewives of Orange County" star.
She was a lot more vocal in the couple confessional as she did her best Gretchen impression!
Maybe Traci will get along a bit better with Gretchen's man Slade, who claims that he's on pretty friendly terms with Traci's big sister Toni Braxton. How does he know the "Unbreak My Heart" singer, though? Find out in the clip below.
Tune in for more "Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars" when it premieres tonight at 9 p.m. EST on WE tv!

What it is about…
Aascar Films' Vallinam, produced by V. Ravichandran and written and directed by Arivazhagan, is a sports drama based on the game of basketball. The film features Nakul as a basketball player and newcomer Mrudhula Basker as his lady love. Siddharth Jonnalagadda, who acted in the Telugu film Love Before Wedding, plays the villain, while Atul Kulkarni is doing an important role. S. S. Thaman has composed the music. The cinematography is by Bhaskaran, editing by Sabu Joseph V.J., dance choreography by Dinesh, Shobi and Lalitha and the stunts by Silva.
Music highlights
The soundtrack has five songs. The title number stands out for its lyrics by Vaali. It is sung by Palakkad Sreeram, Rahul Nambiar, Naveen Madhav and K. G. Ranjith. Viveka has penned a couple of interesting songs, 'Maaman Machaan' sung by STR, S.S. Thaman and Mukesh and 'Uyiril Uyiril' sung by Haricharan. The last mentioned number gets repeated, this time rendered by the music director himself. Actor Nakul and Andrea Jeremiah have done a good job of 'Nakula,' written by Parvathy.
What they say…
Producer Aascar V. Ravichandran: After watching Eeram, I was convinced that director Arivazhagan would be able to give a good film to the audience. So I entrusted him with the task of making Vallinam for our company and, I should say, he hasn't disappointed us. His storyline was absorbing too. Director Arivazhagan: I am a gold medallist from the Madras Film Institute. After assisting acclaimed director Shankar, I made my first directorial venture Eeram in 2009, produced by mymentor's S Pictures. The film with an unusual theme went on to become a hit. I am glad that Vallinam, my next movie, is backed by another popular production house, Aascar Films. I am sure of its success at the box office.
Hero Nakul: This is my fifth film and I am a basketball player in it. I doubt whether any other film has been based on the game so far. Playing the game itself is tough, and to act as a player I had to undergo training for a couple of months. I took it up as a challenge and I hope it clicks with the audience. I am also happy that there is a song starting with my name in the film and I got to sing it with Andrea.
Music director Thaman SS: This is my second film with director Arivazhagan, who is a good friend of mine. The songs have come out well and are being appreciated by those who have listened to them.

Re: HMS Bounty in trouble...
All I can say is the audacity of the so called "professionals" compare to us so called "amatures" sux. We sail-boat cruisers sometimes know vastly better Markseaof life!
I totally agree
I think he was a bullsh!t artist who began to believe his own bull and was caught out by his own bullsh!t once too often.Markseaoflife
So lets looks at this intelligently vs hysterically. Almost to a man or woman everybody including me, his crew, people who have sailed with him before, a few people on here (SN) who met him like wingnwing....NONE, not one of us say what you said above or had that
first hand
impression of him..
Then you say
...I know he was your friend, so I won't ask you to agree with me,-Markseaof life
, others have said my friendhips clouds my opinions. It doesnt actually it may make me emotional about his reputation, but my opinions are based on factual evidence.
And after all that is the point isnt it really. Not just me...many others have talked about him with respect and say he was a quality man this is where I have fault on this thread. People who
do not know him
making judgements and building cases on only snippets of information on what they read or make up in their own minds. Bringing in facts which only support their positions or posting facts which are not entirely accurate or complete.
Then when the people who knew the Captain
in person
state a diffferent story, they are dismissed as having a personal relationship with him or they were cult members following him blindly. Give us more credit than that.
So then I ask you who is probably right here and who really has more credibility...the internet social media writers who have never met him and only have to go on what they make up in their own minds ( because they arent reading this from first hand survivors) or the people who met him
in person
knew him sailed with him
, the choice of who is more accurate to acccesss the Captain is an obvious choice. In person knowledge of the Captain superceeds secondhand knowledge or thoeries fabricated in individuals minds.
There is a reason that first hand knowledge ( direct testimony) trumps heresay or speculation all the time in places like a court of law.
What the Captain friends and aquaintences cannot undertsand or reconcile, just like the rest of social media writers on here and other sites, is what drove an experienced captain who loved his crew, had a wealth of experience to sail off into a hurricane. Simple as that.
This conspiracy that he rushed everyone onto the boat in an hour so they would think or complain, so he could subject them to what turned out to be a tragic journey on purpose does not make sense to the people who really knew this man and how he acted and treated people.
I for 1 person who knew him still do not understand what drove the man I knew to a decision of poor safety and endangering other people in his steed, especuially how I noticed FIRST HAND how he felt about survivasl gear and emergency procedures. This decision was so out of character to the man we knew.
None of this abbrogates him from the repsonsibility he had in the tragedy.

Hong Kong 12/12/12 weddings fail to beat 11/11/11
Hong Kong – The number of Hong Kong couples planning to marry on 12/12/12 — seen as a fairly fortunate date by feng shui masters — has shrunk compared to the more auspicious 11/11/11 last year, reports said Monday.
Dates like 10/10/10 or 11/11/11 have traditionally seen couples flock to tie the knot. But some Chinese feng shui masters said December 12 this year, which is seen as signifying "love", was not ideal for nuptials.
Hong Kong's marriage registry has received only 696 notifications from couples planning to get married on Wednesday, a spokesman from the immigration department — which oversees the registry — told AFP.
This was a sharp fall from 1,002 weddings on November 11 last year, which signified "eternal love", and 859 weddings on October 10, 2010 which represented "perfection".
Feng shui is an ancient Chinese belief that seeks to channel good and bad psychic energy through the arrangement of furniture and ornaments. It also determines auspicious dates.
Feng shui master Sammy Au was quoted in The Standard newspaper as saying that the triple 12 date is not perfect for marriage and rated it as just a "comparatively lucky day".
Au picked December 18 and 31 as better dates.
A few couples who nevertheless plumped for 12/12 said their main reason is to tie the knot before December 21, which some doomsayers believe could be the date the world ends.
"I want to be with her before the end of the world," a groom-to-be who was only identified as Leung told the Chinese-language Ming Pao newspaper.
Other Internet doomsayers have picked 12/12/12 as the date for the world's end — further complicating marriage plans for the superstitious.

By the end of the century, global temperatures are likely to have risen by at least 2°C compared with pre-industrial times. No nation will be immune to the resulting changes in the world's weather patterns and as international negotiations aimed at reducing future carbon emissions continue to have limited success, it would be rash for any country to fail to plan to meet the consequent challenges to their infrastructure and citizens. For Australia, one of the most important concerns is the health of its people.
The advanced physical and mathematical sciences (the APM sciences)—physics, chemistry, maths and the earth sciences—underpin Australian economic activity worth more than $290 billion each year and support around 7% of Australian jobs. For the first time, this research uses economic statistics and modelling to calculate their direct, indirect and total contributions to our economy.
Decisions on how to respond to climate change should be made by society as a whole. This publication aims to contribute to the public understanding of the state of the science, to improve understanding and address confusion created by contradictory information. It explains the current situation in climate science, including where there is consensus in the scientific community and where uncertainties exist. This publication is an update of the Academy's 2010 booklet of the same name.
This report presents the results of a survey among Australians to determine their level of science literacy and how it has changed over the past three years.
The Computer Science project is the first topic in the Academy's initiative to conduct science foresighting studies. These studies will consider the scientific potential for specific areas of study over the next few decades. Future science – computer science scopes future capacities and applications of high performance computing over the next 10-20 years. The project culminated with the production of a report in 2013. Planning is underway for further foresighting studies.
Australia 2050 is the start of a landmark process to plan for an ecologically, economically and socially sustainable future for all members of Australian society. The publications seek to emphasise how science can inform the future which is uncertain, contested but ultimately shared by the choices we make and in which all Australians have a stake. They are intended to be a resource to groups around the country who want to discuss what they and others can do to influence Australia's course in constructive and useful ways.
Nanotechnology presents amazing opportunities for Australia. When we consider materials at the nanoscale we can detect novel properties, and it is this novelty that makes nanotechnology research so exciting to researchers and is driving new technology and manufacturing opportunities in all areas of science.
The Physics decadal plan 2012-2021: building on excellence in physics, underpinning Australia's future was launched at the Shine Dome on 6 December 2012. It presents the Australian physics community's strategic vision for the 10 years, from 2012–2021.
The science of immunisation: questions and answers was prepared by a working group and oversight committee made up of Academy Fellows and other Australian scientists with internationally recognised expertise in immunology.
Australia's resources industry is based on large, high-quality deposits discovered in the late 19th Century and the 20th Century - an exploration endeavour that was supported by high-quality pre-competitive research that mapped the surface of Australia. While demand for Australian minerals remains strong, it is of serious concern that discovery of new deposits has not kept pace with depletion, despite ongoing competitive exploration efforts.
Enrolment information in this report is based on data supplied by the Australian Government Department of Education, Employment and WorkplaceRelations (DEEWR). It was updated in January 2012 based on public statements made by DEEWR.
Driven by science, the world is changing fast. More than a decade into the 'Asian Century', Australia increasingly seeks to improve its links with its Asian neighbors, while maintaining and strengthening links with North America and Europe. Since the beginning of the 21st century, global investment on R&D has almost doubled, speeding up the pace of change itself.
Australian astronomy is riding a wave of discovery powered by new technology. This technology has increased the sensitivity of existing telescopes and enabled the construction of new telescopes that can see wider and further than ever before.
This was the Academy's climate change booklet released in 2010. It has been superceded by the 2015 booklet of the same name.
The benefits of integrating Australia's scientific endeavour with the efforts of the international scientific community are clear to Australian scientists. International collaboration invariably improves the quality and breadth of research. Increasingly, quality science is undertaken and underpinned by formal and informal international collaboration and networks.
This precious and beautiful blue planet on which we live is complex beyond measure, so complex, we argue here, that a whole new science – an integrative science of the Earth system (Earth System Science or ESS) – is needed to understand it.
As a contribution to exploring these challenges for Australia, Australia's Renewable Energy Future
presents a collation of the substance and conclusions of the 2008–09 lectures. It is our hope that this
will inform a greater understanding of the state of renewable energy science and technology.
This report was prepared by a working group of 16 Academy Fellows and other space science and Earth observation experts in response to the terms of reference assigned to the working group by the Presidents of the Australian Academy of Science (AAS) and the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE) on 23 December 2008.
Nanotechnology is already having a profound impact upon major industries worldwide, including at the very least electronics, computers, communications, defence, energy, biomedical, transport and manufacturing. Nanoscale science and technology is multidisciplinary, involving physicists, chemists, biologists, materials scientists, chemical, mechanical and electronics engineers and medical scientists.
The Decadal Plan for Australian Space Science was launched in 2009. It presents the Australian space science community's vision for a long-term, productive presence in space via world-leading innovative space science and technology, strong education and outreach and international collaborations.
The supply of future clean energy supplies to meet ever-increasing requirements is one of the global challenges for the present generation. Worldwide energy needs are estimated by the International Energy Agency to increase by over 50% from 2004 to 2030 as populations increase and economies expand.
In a world where information is only a click away, the competitiveness of nations such as Australia will be tested increasingly by a new world order. Developing nations including China and India understand with unquestioned certainty that inventive international science and technology are the keys to socioeconomic well-being and prosperity.

North Korea has reportedly released a report listing human rights abuses in the US.
A news article titled "News Analysis on Poor Human Rights Records in US," was released by the official Korean Central News Agency on Wednesday.
According to FOX News, the article discusses racial discrimination, unemployment and poverty and refers to the US as "the world's worst human right abuser and tundra of a human being's rights to existence".
The article said that racialism is getting more severe in the US and gaps between the minorities and the whites are very wide in the exercise of such rights to work and elect.
It further stressed that the US is a "living hell as elementary rights to existence are ruthlessly violated."
North Korea previously accused the US of orchestrating the UN commission's February report that it committed crimes against humanity, calling the findings and recommendations "extremely dangerous" political provocations, the report added.

21.03.07 - By Ted Sares: Ill be attending this one for a number of reason one of which is that Id enjoy seeing Acelino Popo Freitas get his butt whipped by Juan El Torito Diaz on Saturday, April 28 at Foxwoods Resort Casino, Mashantucket, CT. The WBA/WBC Lightweight boxing Title will be at stake. The fight will be televised live on HBO.
Like I said, I want the Brazilian to lose, but admittedly for many wrong reasons. I felt his retirement announcement after the Zahir Raheem fight was a poorly disguised negotiating maneuver to gain leverage for a large payday fight. I am sick of his hype (when he got married, his wedding was televised live to all of Brazil, and it broke the all time audience record for a live event in that country), his marital problems (he was later divorced), his near emotional breakdowns and tears after he wins a fight, his lame excuses for sub-par performances and his all-around heavy boxing drama
but most of all
Im tired of his recent reluctance to be a warrior.
But Im a realist and I know that the youthful Diaz, 31-0 with 15 ko's, while always putting forth an enormous punch volume, has little pop behind those punches. On the other hand, Acelino Freitas does have one-punch knockout power and has the goods to put the Baby Bull down if he gets the opportunity, though Diaz does have underrated and improving defensive skills.
The 31 year old Brazilian, a former world junior lightweight and lightweight champion, has a 38-1 record with an impressive 32 ko's. But that one defeat was, well, pretty awful. When he fought Jorge Rodrigo Barrios in an all-out war for the WBO and WBA Super Featherweight Title in 2003, he showed no quit. When he was beaten by Diego Corrales in 2004 at Mashantucket for the WBO Lightweight Title, he showed major quit. He pulled a no mas at the 1:24 mark of the tenth round after having been decked three times in the fight by Chico. Fight fans in Brazil were shocked when he, instead of the referee, waived off the fight and calmly returned to his corner; many at Foxwoods openly wept. Later, against Raheem in 2006, also at Mashantucket, he won a snoozer by SD displaying a good deal of caution and tentativeness.
As for clean-cut and affable Juan Diaz, the question is whether he can beat the more experienced Popo with his relentless pressure and nonstop, albeit feather-fisted attack. Moreover, though the fighters he has beaten have had excellent won-lost records, Frietass level of opposition has been far superior including such notables as Artur Grigorian, Joel Casamayor Daniel Attah, Edwin Vazquez, Anatoly Alexandrov and Juan Carlos Ramirez. Moreover, Frietas has been somewhat of a road warrior having fought in a number of different locations. Diaz, on the other hand, has shown an affinity for fighting in Texas.
Juan clearly has a warriors mentality, but unfortunately lacks the power tools to back up what warriors do and in this regard is different from another El Torito who use to do his nasty thing also in Texas. Juan won the WBA world title at the age of 20 in 2004 and has made five successful title defenses. He is only 23.
Styles make fights. If Popo duplicates the one he used against Raheem, this one could go down as the bore war of the year. If he decides to press the action, the fight could get interesting as Diaz is always incoming. If that happens, it may become a test of El Toritos solid chin against Acelinos proven power. Something is bound to give. At least thats one possibility Im counting on. However, the more likely one might be a cautious Frietas using technique and clinches to ward off a Diaz using a high volume of non-lethal punches to pile up points.
An intangible in Popos favor is that he could achieve redemption for his disgraceful performance against Corrales. Roberto Duran was given the same opportunity when he fought Davey Moore and he made the most of it. However, Popo is no Duran.
All of this should make for an intriguing affair on April 28. Ill be there and will post my analysis on ESB shortly after. Oh yes, my bet. Ill take Frietas by UD in a dreadful snoooozer, but Ill take nothing less than 3 to 1.

Maccabi Tel Aviv Wins Euroleague Basketball
Israeli fans celebrate in Milan as team upsets favorite Real Madrid in overtime
The Maccabi Tel Aviv basketball team returned to Israel today after an astounding victory at the Euroleague basketball final in Milan. In an overtime upset on Sunday night, Maccabi unexpectedly defeated Real Madrid, JTA reports. Many of the approximately 10,000 Israelis who flew to Italy for the game celebrated the 98-86 victory in the streets of Milan, and revelers took to the streets in Israel as well, flooding Tel Aviv's Rabin Square. Thousands more headed to the airport Monday afternoon to greet the returning champions.
Fans had low expectations for Maccabi's performance in the Euroleague, based on the team's disappointing performance in the Israeli basketball league in the past six years. Reportedly, about a third of Israeli citizens watched Sunday's game live, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Shimon Peres both called to congratulate Maccabi's head coach after the win. "I watched the whole game and nearly had a heart attack," Peres reportedly told the coach, "You are heroes and have brought incredible pride to the State of Israel."

Headline » Opinion
Fatigue in my opinion is always an excellent subject matter for a column, because so many of us MDS patients are experts in the various aspects of fatigue and its annoying and bothersome symptoms, which are often associated with a low hemoglobin level.
The Mayo Clinic defines fatigue as follows:
"Chronic fatigue … is … profound. It's a nearly constant state of weariness that develops over time and diminishes your energy and mental capacity. Fatigue at this level impacts your emotional and psychological well-being, too."
Yes, that's it. I absolutely agree with this definition.
All well-informed MDS patients, all the medical specialists, and all the literature give you mainly three practical pieces of advice for daily living when suffering from fatigue.
The first is to learn to be more in tune with your body.
The second is to be active and positive.…Read the full story »
Articles written by patients and caregivers about their experiences living with MDS.
Results of a recent study indicate that the tumor protein p53 may be a prognostic tool for lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes patients with a deletion in chromosome 5.
The tumor protein p53, which is encoded by the TP53 gene, regulates the process of cell division and functions as a tumor suppressor.
The results of the recent study are based on data from a clinical trial that tested Revlimid (lenalidomide) in lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) patients with a deletion in chromosome 5. All but three of the 85 patients included in the …
As Michael's caregiver, I have become the person who watches and manages everything from doctor's appointments to diet, medication and test results. I also spend a lot of time these days worrying about all sorts of things. I find myself watching him trying to gauge if his energy levels are up or down. When I ask, he invariably says he is feeling okay; a little tired, but okay.
Sometimes I find myself looking at his skin color to try and determine if he is paler than he was the day …
A Phase 1/2 clinical trial assessing the investigational drug INCB47986 in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) is currently recruiting participants in the United States.
The trial is intended to establish the proper dose for the drug and whether or not it has any impact on the red blood cell counts of MDS patients. Three different dose levels will be tested during the first phase of the trial to determine which, if any, dose levels warrant further investigation based on the observed rates of improvements in red blood cell counts and the tolerability of the drug.
INCB47986, which is being developed by the pharmaceutical company Incyte, is an oral medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as JAK inhibitors. They work by inhibiting the activity of one or more of the Janus kinase family of enzymes (JAK1, JAK2, JAK3, TYK2), which are commonly mutated and overactive in inflammatory diseases, myeloproliferative disorders, and various cancers.
Two drugs in the JAK inhibitor class of drugs are already approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The first one is Jakafi (ruxolitinib), which was approved by the FDA in November 2011 for the treatment of myelofibrosis, a bone marrow disorder in which the marrow is scarred. Jakafi was also developed by Incyte. The second drug, which is being marketed by Pfizer, is Xeljanz (tofacitinib), which was approved by the FDA in November 2012 for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
Participants in the Phase 2 trial of INCB47986 in MDS must be 18 years or older; have de novo MDS (meaning MDS without having had another cancer previously); be transfusion-dependent or be resistant (refractory) to, or unlikely to respond to treatment with, red blood cell-stimulating agents (erythropoiesis-stimulating agents).
Participants may not previously have received treatment with Vidaza (azacitidine) or Dacogen (decitabine) or immunosuppressive therapy for their MDS, and they may not have the del(5q) chromosomal abnormality.
For more information on the INCB47986 trial, including trial locations, please see the clinical trial description.
Significant improvements in donor stem cell transplantation have been made in recent years and. As a result, the procedure has become safer and typically more successful for patients.
The majority of patients undergoing donor stem cell transplantation receive stem cells from unrelated donors. In these cases, a close match between donor and recipient tissue types is known to play an important important role in transplant outcomes.
A group of German researchers last fall published results of a large retrospective study about tissue typing in donor stem cell transplantation for a …
In this column, I am going to tell you about my susceptibility to a specific infection prior to my myelodysplastic syndromes diagnosis and thereafter.
It is not a pleasant story, but it may nevertheless be of interest to other myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) patients because MDS patients are at a high risk of developing infections, especially when their white blood cell counts are low.
Even before my MDS diagnosis, I had been suffering from recurrent bladder infections for decades. Why? Nobody can tell. About ten urologists have already seen my bladder …
