|Half Baths
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 - 5 nights
Beautiful home nestled in the jungle with panoramic ocean views. Infinity pool with beautiful sunsets from atop the hill and daily visits from toucans, monkeys and iguanas. Bedrooms and common areas are spacious and comfortable. Full kitchen. Easy to escape reality in the peaceful, natural setting, yet the property has many modern amenities like wireless Internet, cable, and laundry. Only a little more than a kilometer to the beach that is perfect for those looking to relax or those looking to surf, and just a few kilometers from the town of Dominical, which provides markets, surfboard rentals, nightlife, several great restaurants, and a great community atmosphere.
Villa Roselare was such a beautiful spot!! My boyfriend and I travel here in January 2015 and enjoyed the villa all to ourselves. It was even more beautiful in person than the pictures presented it! We saw some amazing sunsets from the very comfortable hammock. The pool was very clean and the outdoor fans were fantastic for keeping cool in the heat. Emanuel made sure we had everything we needed and was extremely helpful. He booked massages for us at the villa, left us a cell phone to contact him if we needed anything and accommodated our VERY early check-out. We saw toucans in the trees out back every day, as well as many other beautiful butterflies and birds. Howler monkeys could be heard in the distance every day as well. I would recommend 4 wheel drive if you rent a car. We did not have 4 wheel and struggled up a couple of the hills. Overall, we had such a relaxing vacation! The trip was everything I wanted and expected it to be. I would return here in a heartbeat!
My family stayed at Villa Roselare in Dominical this Christmas. We consisted of 6 adults. What a wonderful vacation! The beauty of the Dominical area is stunning. The house was a dream. The kitchen was fully equipped and a pleasure to cook our meals which we did about half the time (it was hard to leave such a great house). We even cooked Christmas turkey which was a little crazy in 85 degree weather, but hey, it's the holidays!
We have rented over 20 homes through vacation rentals and this one was by far our favorite. There are few places on earth as pretty as Costa Rica and this house is placed in a perfect spot to view it. The pool area was our central meeting area whether for a swim or to view the nightly sunsets which were stunning. Our private pool was crystal clear and cleaned frequently. The floating recliners were really comfortable and ideal for being lazy.
The master bedroom was huge and had the best view of the house. It was such a pleasure to wake up each morning and see the ocean and the vast beauty of the trees. The sound of howler monkeys greeted us every morning. Beautiful birds flew by as we sat on our lovely second floor porch right above the pool. The two other bedrooms were equally beautiful and had their own unique views. The bathrooms were lovely.
We were able to access the wifi and were given our own cellphone to use while we were in Costa Rica. This was our access to great service from Emanuel and Esteban (our host contacts). You definitely need a 4 wheel drive vehicle because the gated driveway (with 24 hour security) is quite steep and unpaved.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about this house and the Paradise Breezes
Fabulous vacation home with ocean view. Wild life was all-around us in this quiet secure beach community near Dominical. Monkeys, toucans, butterflies and all the other animals that are there are amazing.To see all of this in the morning was incredible.The salt water infinity pool was amazing.We will definitely be back loved the house and it had everything we needed.
A real treat in paradise! We escaped to this beautiful (and conveniently located) property to relax for 4 days and couldn't recommend it enough. It's tucked away for a peaceful stay, while only a short drive to town and the beach.
The home is beautifully laid out, spacious, well-maintained, and gorgeously situated in the lush jungle with ocean views from several rooms. Waking up to the blue ocean each morning was breathtaking. We even caught adorable little monkeys playing outside in the trees!
The kitchen was large, modern, and equipped with everything we needed to cook all meals. The beds were very comfortable and the entire place was clean and well-kept. We were very comfortable!
The property manager was friendly, quick to respond, and easy to get in touch with. We had a very enjoyable stay and recommend this place to any traveler!
Your beautiful villa was home to us for a week , the villa surprised our expectations and everybody in our group was thrilled, even the children who had such a great time. All of your staff and ground keepers were pleasant and kind. Thanks you for everything until next time ... Pura Vida!
Great stop on our first trip to Costa Rica. Five minutes from the beach.
Relaxing pool area with plenty of beautiful sunsets.
House had all the amenities and and immaculately maintained.
We highly reccommend Villa Roselare and say thanks for being there for us.
Located on Costa Rica's amazingly beautiful South Pacific coastline, the small village of Dominical is a hidden paradise with something for everyone. There are shops, restaurants, bars, hotels, and some amazing natural scenery and adventures. Dominical is known to have some of the best surf in the country, but it also has easy access to two amazing national parks (Manuel Antonio and Marino Ballena), some breathtaking waterfalls, great rivers for rafting, and many other great natural adventure tours. With its stunning backdrop of lush green forests and palm tress, this beach is also a great place to bird watch or take a canopy tour of the surrounding locale. There are many other outdoor activities to take part in while in the Dominical area such as hiking, horseback riding, ATV tours, snorkeling trips and kayaking.
Villa Roselare is perfectly located just a short drive up the mountain from the main road, thus close to town, restaurants, and beaches, but conveniently hidden to have privacy, tranquility and abundant wildlife. It is only a 10 minute drive to the main Dominical town, and is a short 3 minute drive to Playa Dominicalito (great surf!) and surrounding restaurants, and bars.

|2 , chopped
|1 Ounce (25 Grams Or 2 Tablespoon)
|2 Ounce (Frozen / Shelled Fresh)
|Cheddar cheese
|6 Ounce, grated (175 Grams Or 1 1/2 Cups)
|Freshly ground black pepper
|To Taste
|To Taste
|For sage pastry
|Plain flour
|12 Ounce (350 Grams Or 3 Cups)
|Onion salt
|1⁄4 Teaspoon
|Hard margarine
|6 Ounce, cut into pieces (75 Grams Or 3/4 Cup)
|Chopped sage
|15 Milliliter (1 Tablespoon)
|Cold water
|4 Tablespoon (For Mixing)
|For finishing
|2 , beaten
|Milk/Single cream
|1⁄4 Pint (150 Milliliter Or 2/3 Cup)
|Baby beetroot
|3 Ounce, pickled (For Serving)
Prepare the filling.
Gently fry (saute) the potatoes, carrots, spring onions, courgette and celery in the butter or margarine for 5 minutes, stirring until softened but not browned.
Leave to cool while making the pastry, then stir in the peas and the cheese and season to taste.
Sift the flour and onion salt into a bowl.
Add the margarine and rub in with the fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Stir in the sage and enough cold water to form a firm dough.
Knead gently on a lightly floured surface.
Cut off about a quarter of the dough and reserve for a 'lid'.
Roll out the remainder and use to line an 18 cm/7 in round, deep, loose bottomed cake tin (pan), placed on a baking (cookie) sheet.
Spoon in the cooled cheese and vegetable mixture.
Reserve 15 ml/1 tbsp of the beaten egg for glazing.
Beat the milk or cream into the remainder.
Pour into the pie.
Roll out the remaining pastry to a round for a lid.
Brush the edges with water and place the lid in position.
Crimp the edges between the finger and thumb and make a small hole in the centre of the pastry to allow the steam to escape.
Makes leaves' and a 'rose' out of the pastry trimmings and use to decorate the pie.
Brush with the reserved beaten egg to glaze.
Cook in a preheated oven at 200°C/400°F/gas mark 6 for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4 and continue cooking for a further 1 1/4 hours until the vegetables are tender.
To test, push a skewer right down through the centre; if there is no resistance, you know the vegetables are cooked.
Lay a piece of foil over the pastry if it is over-browning.
Leave to cool in the tin for at least 30 minutes, then gently loosen the edge with a round bladed knife, if necessary.
To remove the tin, place on top of a jam jar or can and carefully slide the tin down, leaving the pie on the base.
Slide off the base, if liked, using a fish slice or palette knife, and cool on a wire rack.
Wrap in foil.

Chronic pain, affecting an estimated 100 million Americans, continues to be a significant medical challenge in the United States. Osteoarthritis pain and low back pain are particularly prevalent – osteoarthritis pain affects 27 million Americans, and chronic low back pain is the most common cause of disability in developed countries.
Although currently available long-acting opioid analgesics have been shown to provide relief for moderate to severe chronic pain, many are associated with high incidences of side effects, which can cause patients to discontinue their treatment. Research also shows that physicians are uncomfortable prescribing opioids due to these opioid-related side effects.
Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C. (J&JPRD) and Grunenthal GmbH, conducted this study, which J&JPRD has included as part of its New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for tapentadol ER tablets for the management of moderate to severe chronic pain in patients 18 years of age or older. The FDA currently is reviewing this application and, if approved, PriCara®, Division of Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., will market tapentadol ER in the United States.

1985-06-06 Alfonzo Ratliff w pts 12 Carlos De Leon, Riviera Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA - WBC
1985-06-06 Alfonso Ratliff w pts 12 Carlos De Leon, Riviera Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA - WBC. Referee: Carlos Padilla. Scorecards: 116-113, 117-114, 114-117. After making a solid start, the champion found himself in a battle of attrition as Ratliff (192½) came on strong in the third round, throwing punches from both hands, and by the eighth both men were showing distinct signs of wear. With Ratliff cut over both eyes and De Leon (187¾) over the left it seemed set for an early night, but there was no letup in the action. Thereafter both men punched away and in the 11th De Leon caught Ratliff heavily, only for the latter to stun the champion with a big right to the head immediately prior to the announcement that he had won the title by a split decision.

Three Years After The Haiti Earthquake, An Unsure Future For One Woman And Her Country
By WLRN Staff & WL
All this week we've been bringing you the story of Fabienne Jean, a dancer who lost her right leg three years ago in the earthquake in Haiti.
I think sometimes people forget - or perhaps don't know - how complicated it is just to reconstruct one life
Fabienne's right leg was crushed and had to be amputated. When she danced again, she was hailed as a symbol of Haiti's post-earthquake recovery.
But as reporter Jacob Kushner discovered during the year he spent reporting on this story, the quest to rebuild one woman's life would take much more than that.
"I think sometimes people forget—or perhaps don't know—how complicated it is just to reconstruct one life," Kushner told WLRN's Alicia Zuckerman.
You can hear the conversation between Kushner and Zuckerman here:

Jorge Posada apologizes to Yankees manager Girardi
NEW YORK Jorge Posada apologized Sunday to Yankees manager Joe Girardi in a face-to-face conversation, saying he simply had a bad day that boiled over into a messy public spat with management.
"All the frustration came out," Posada said. "It was just one of those days you wish you could take back."
Posada was not in New York's lineup against Boston left-hander Jon Lester, one night after the slumping star asked to sit out - the beginning of a bizarre saga that led to the Yankees contacting the commissioner's office about possible recourse.
But by Sunday, the five-time All-Star was smiling and laughing in the clubhouse, appearing generally relaxed despite his .165 batting average.
"We had a nice conversation. We talked about being emotional and going through struggles and what defines who you are. He apologized and said, `I had a bad day,' and I said, `I have had bad days, too,'" Girardi said. "'I know it's hard to struggle, but you're going to get through this.'
"It wasn't the typical Jorge Posada face. Yeah, he was a little emotional. I was emotional in there because he's one of my guys. I feel for what he's going through."
During batting practice on the field, Posada hugged Alex Rodriguez and chatted with other teammates. Yankees captain Derek Jeter, one of Posada's best friends, said the matter was resolved and he saw nothing wrong with what Posada did Saturday.
"It's not the first time that someone has come out of the lineup," Jeter said. "If you need a day, you need a day. ... If I thought he did something wrong, I'd be the first to tell him."
Girardi said as far as he knew, the team had not sanctioned the 39-year-old Posada. General manager Brian Cashman said he needed to speak with owner Hal Steinbrenner before a final decision would be made.
Cashman said he saw Posada near the batting cage and introduced him to Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari. Posada told Cashman they needed to talk later.
"I said, `No problem.' I'll talk and obviously we'll get this behind us as soon as we can. We've got to focus on the Red Sox, not each other," Cashman said.
Andruw Jones was listed as the designated hitter Sunday night.
Before batting practice, a contrite Posada calmly answered a string of questions from reporters and then went out to hit with the other backups.
He said he was healthy enough to play - he had mentioned a stiff back after Saturday night's game, but acknowledged Sunday that even though his back was bothering him, he used it as an excuse.
"Everything happens for a reason. You learn from it," Posada said.
Even before the discord, Girardi planned to put Posada on the bench Sunday. The switch-hitter is 0 for 24 against left-handed pitchers this season and his batting average was the lowest for any player currently in the majors with at least 100 at-bats.
Before batting practice Saturday - when Posada was still slated to hit ninth against right-hander Josh Beckett - Girardi wouldn't commit to staying with Posada against lefties.

"Does it really have to be that high?"
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey, admitted that if women cannot pass the stringent requirements of serving in Combat Arms MOSs (Military Occupational Specialties), then the Armed Forces will have to ask itself if the standards "really have to be that high," reports CNSNews.com.
In a joint press conference with Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, Dempsey was asked this question by NBC reporter Jim Miklaszewski:
You indicated that — well, at least it sounds like that there may be certain combat operational forays that women might be excluded from still. I mean, what would be the reasons for that? What sorts of operations?
No, I wouldn't put it in terms of operations, Jim. What I would say is that, as we look at the requirements for a spectrum of conflict, not just COIN, counterinsurgency, we really need to have standards that apply across all of those.
Importantly, though, if we do decide that a particular standard is so high that a woman couldn't make it, the burden is now on the service to come back and explain to the secretary, why is it that high? Does it really have to be that high? With the direct combat exclusion provision in place, we never had to have that conversation.
Institutional Favoritism Already In Place…
The Marine Corps recently instituted a change to its physical fitness test, the upshot of which is that female Marines will no longer be exempt from performing pull-ups as part. However, in order to receive a perfect score of 100, women are required to only 8 repetitions. Men, in contrast, need to do 20 reps for the same score.
Male and female Marines are both required to perform 100 abdominal "crunches" within 2 minutes to receive a perfect 100 point score. But men must complete the three-mile run 3 minutes faster than women (18 minutes vice 21 minutes) in order to receive a perfect score.
According to Marine Corps Order 6100.13 W/CH 1:
Marines who are not physically fit are a detriment and detract from the combat readiness of their unit.
In a report from the Government Accounting Office, the Army's physical fitness test also has a gender disparity in favor of women over men:
Because of physiological differences, both the Army's and the Academy's physical fitness test standards are different for men and women. For example, to receive ascore of 90 on the push-up event, men must perform 72 push-ups in 2 minutes; women must do 48. To receive a score of 90 in the sit-up event, men must do 82 and women must do 84 in a 2-minute period. To receive a score of 90 on the 2-mile run, men must achieve a time of 12 minutes and 57 seconds; women must achieve the same distance in 15 minutes and 54 seconds.
The Navy also has a marked difference in passing scores for their male vs. female fitness scorings, but what could be described as disturbing, is the amount of body fat allowable within the U.S. Navy:
Male Body Fat Standards:
Age 17 – 39: Max of 22% body fat Age 40 and over: Max of 23% body fat
Female Body Fat Standards:
Age 17 – 39: Max of 33% body fat Age 40 and over: Max of 34% body fat
It's commonplace in all branches of the Armed Forces for women to outscore men in physical fitness examinations, yet in reality remain physically weaker and thus be promoted ahead of them.

Ten Smarter Technologies - coming your way
nagger 100000MRSJ Comments (4) Visits (6656)
I am preparing for a Power Systems Technical University in Las Vegas, USA and Lyon, France in October.
I have a session with the title below and I am seeking feedback from technology guru's like yourselves.
Which four of the below ten technologies do you think are "most likely to be normal in five years time"?
Please comment on this AIXpert (see "Add a Comment" below) with your four top technologies.
I will post the overall results as a graph in roughly two weeks time.
Below here there should be a large image of the ten technologies.
If there is no image and just a word [image] try clicking on the Blog Entry name above (as in Ten Smarter Technologies - coming your way )
If you clicked on the Blog Name and still no luck then the ten smarter technologies are:
1. Cluster load balancing using VMControl
 2. Cluster Evacuation via LPM using VMControl
 3. SSD - it'll be very common for sure.
 4. what about SR-IOV adapters?

 basically Systems Director/VMControl in general will be big, they're finally making some real progress i feel; I also believe that VMWare has paved the way for this kind of approach to VM management. VMControl is going to be welcomed with open arms in mixed shops where the VIC rules the x86 landscape today.

 unfortunately while stuff like AME and pre-built appliance solutions are very cool, those kinds of technologies have a slower adoption rate because larger shops are more gun shy of where and how to implement these things.. the immediate benefits may not be so obvious when looking through the fog of IT organizations myriad of requirements/bureaucracy..

 ah well, my 37 cents worth.

One thing with SR-IOV is that it does not work with LPM. We are a 100% virtualized shop with hundreds of LPARs. Downtime on a single application is difficult to get, but downtime for all apps running on a single frame is nigh impossible. We couldn't do firmware updates, or other sub-OS work without being able to move running LPARs from one frame to another.

There's not a lot I want to say about the season finale of Doctor Who. It's a children's show, I understand that. It's like my one big guilty-pleasure show. I remember loving the hell out of Doctor Who when I was a kid, but trying to watch some of those old episodes now can be downright painful. I do try to check it out occasionally and have discovered that the best way to watch old Doctor Who is in very small doses of no more than one episode per day on non-consecutive days. So, sometimes it surprises me that I still follow the modern Doctor Who. I think it is as much nostalgia as anything else. Also, it can be entertaining. It can be amusing, and the modern show has done a good job of picking actors for the role. Christopher Eccleston was a big part of why I wanted to check out the modern Doctor Who when it first returned, and Peter Capaldi is a huge part of why I keep watching. David Tennant, yeah, he was alright. Matt Smith was very good, but Christopher Eccleston, John Hurt and Peter Capaldi are still my favorite modern incarnations of the Doctor.
Which is a longer than I expected way of saying that there's really not a lot I want to say about the season finale or even most of the season in general. The season was as hit-or-miss as Matt Smith's first season, and trying to critique the season just seems kind of pointless.
I just wanted to say a word or two about the characterization of the Master, and at first, I thought it would be really simply. Then, I realized I actually have an opinion on the Master, and I hope I can write something vaguely coherent on the topic.
I'm fond of stories that basically take the world around us and twist it in some way. There's just something really cool about it or maybe it just feeds into the whole notion of more things in heaven and earth than dreamed of in philosophy. Sure, we've got a pretty good idea of the shape of things what with science and all of that. Yay, science. But, wouldn't it just be cool if. So, yeah, there's something very escapist and exciting about imagining things being other than what they are in some way or other. Just to pick at one example, the X-Files was a hit for more than one reason, and it's really hard to escape from vampire shows, superhero movies and assorted whatnot these days.
Now, having said all of that, there is one big problem with movies and television shows, comic books and novels, that attempt to twist the world just a little bit, and that problem is the fact we have twisted the real world in some way or other while trying to ignore how that twist would actually affect the real world. I mean, once you've got that twist in there, you've basically said goodbye to the real world, but you still kind-of want it to be the real world or almost the real world.
It kind-of defeats the whole escapist dream that the real world really is more interesting than what we see around us if the twist actually causes the world to be too different. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Dragons lobbying congress and holding rallies and whatnot would get noticed, I'm sure. Also, hard to ignore all the news stories about how—say—Fresno was burned to the ground because their sacrificial offering to the local fire-breathing lizard turned out to be slightly less than technically a virgin or whatever. Then, you've got to check the local news for updates as all of Wyoming and Utah are on high alert because Lord Ragnishthok the Black is feeling particularly cranky today and there's a 70% chance he'll be flying around looking for random people to charbroil. Nothing like that in real life.
The Doctor Who fiftieth anniversary show, The Day of the Doctor, was good. Entertaining. Oh, spoilers, d'uh. And, I'm pretty sure I've mentioned before how the term spoilers just grates against my skin, but that is neither here nor there so I'll get on with it already.
Doctor Who has been around for rather a long time and has built up quite a bit of baggage. This baggage had a lot to do with why the show was canceled round about the twenty-sixth year mark, as I understand it. The show just kind-of collapsed under its own weight, as it had a rather hard time attracting anybody who wasn't already a die-hard fan. Nobody in management wanted to take it seriously. Blah blah blah.
This left the revival in a bit of a quandary. They had to figure out what to do with all the baggage, and the producers of the revival had three basic options, I figure. First, they could just flat out ignore all of the history and baggage that the show had built up. Second, they could overtly wipe the slate clean with same grand gesture or statement or other. Third, they could dive head-first into the great stinking mess and very likely produce a show that absolutely nobody wanted to watch just throwing terms and facts around and generally behaving as if anybody and everybody watching knew the intricate details and didn't need a primer or anything. Sink or swim, and all of that.
I always remember being told the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde as being about split personalities to the point that Dr. Jekyll wouldn't even know what Mr. Hyde had been up to. Even if there was a certain amount of awareness, it always still involved losing control. Mr. Hyde would take over, and there was nothing Dr. Jekyll could do about it. Even when he liked it, he had no control. Kind-of like a drug induced rush, I guess. Dr. Jekyll had to have his fix and damn the consequences. Now, I suppose a lot of these slight differences simply come out of the fact that lots of different people have played with the story and the idea. There have lots of different essays and adaptations and whatnot. The consistently important detail was that Dr Jekyll gave up control to this other person living in his head called Mr. Hyde.
So, imagine my shock and surprise when I actually read The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and the very first thing I discovered was just how little the formula did. It changed his appearance. That's it. Full-stop. It changed Dr. Jekyll's flipping appearance. None of this split personality jazz. It simply wasn't there. The closest the story got was from Dr. Jekyll's own notes in which he described distilling his dark side or however exactly he put it. I don't have a copy of the story right in front of me. But, here's the thing about those notes, they were very clearly the work of an unreliable narrator.
The formula changed Dr. Jekyll's appearance, which was allowing him to live out his darkest fantasies without fear of scandal because nobody could prove it was him. It was that other guy. That disguise. Allowing Dr. Jekyll to hide in plain sight. Yeah, that's right. We're in pun territory. Not only did the formula allow Dr. Jekyll to hide his more exotic impulses but it also literally changed his hide. So, yeah, Mr. Hyde is hiding Dr. Jekyll while also saving Dr. Jekyll's hide.
Blade Runner is one of those movies I liked when I was younger. I mean I used to watch it all the time when it was on cable, and it seemed to be on all the time. Don't know how that happened. It was just on, and I would watch it. Found it fascinating or something. And, it was the old voice-over narration version. It was pan-and-scan, too, but everything was pan-and-scan back in those days. Didn't matter. It was on, and I would watch it. Alternate versions didn't exist yet. In fact, the first time I ever saw Blade Runner in a movie theater was when the first alternate version did the rounds. I used to love this movie. Can't stand it now. Blade Runner is long and boring and pretentious as hell. Don't know what I used to see in it. Don't understand what happened. Age makes fools of us all or something.
Anyway, back in the day when I loved that movie, I hunted down the book, which was easy at the time. The publisher had conveniently produced an edition of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep that had the words Blade Runner emblazoned across the cover. The actual title of the book having been relegated to a tiny italic footnote, which I found vaguely interesting but otherwise didn't care. Never got past the first chapter. No, really, I tried to read it. I really did, but it was just so freaking different from the movie. And just to point this out to anybody who might be interested, it is not one of Philip K. Dick's better books.
I did finally get through it. Years later, I finally did, and it wasn't that old movie tie-in paperback with Harrison Ford and Sean Young and whoever else on the cover. It was a trade paperback of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. Blade Runner was nowhere to be seen. Now, I'm trying to remember if this was about the time the first alternate edit of the movie had come out, but that's hardly important. I think I finally read Do Androids Dream before that, but doesn't really matter, as I said.

Lotus Announces Availability of New SmartSuite 4.5 for Windows 3.1 Featuring Internet-enabled Word Pro Word Processor
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Lotus Development Corp. (NYSE: IBM) today announced the availability of SmartSuite Release 4.5, an updated version of Lotus' 16-bit desktop productivity suite for the Windows 3.1 environment. This release of Lotus' award winning productivity suite is highlighted by the groundbreaking word processor, Word Pro 97 Edition for Windows 3.1. Comparable to the newest 32-bit version, Word Pro 97 for Windows 3.1 features unmatched capabilities for finding, sharing and publishing information on the Internet, as well as dramatically enhanced performance. This release marks Lotus' continued commitment to providing desktop productivity software for customers who want to leverage their investment in the Windows 3.1 environment.
In addition to the new version of Word Pro, SmartSuite 4.5 includes the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet, Lotus Freelance Graphics presentation graphics, Lotus Approach database, Lotus Organizer PIM, and the Lotus ScreenCam multi-media utility. To complement the powerful Internet functionality in Word Pro, the CD edition of SmartSuite 4.5 also includes Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer browser software, as well as a free 30-day trial connection to the IBM Global Network, one of the world's largest Internet service providers.
"The release of SmartSuite 4.5 fulfills a promise we made to our customers that we are committed to helping them leverage their investment in the Windows 3.1 environment," said John Throckmorton, senior vice president, Lotus Internet Applications division. "We understand the reasons why many organizations have opted not to migrate to the latest 32-bit platforms and have responded to this customer demand with well-integrated, Web-enabled 16-bit applications that deliver value."
Word Pro Offers Enhanced Performance and More Internet Functionality
The new Word Pro 97 Edition for Windows 3.1 matches the feature set of the Windows 95/NT version, while also dramatically enhancing earlier 16-bit performance and reliability. For example, Word Pro demonstrates performance improvements of 50 to 400 percent in common tasks such as load, open, save etc.
In addition to performance enhancements, the new Word Pro gives Windows 3.1 users all the tools they need to find, publish and share information over the Internet. Users can search the Web for any word or phrase from within a Word Pro document simply by clicking on a "Perform Web search" icon. Without leaving Word Pro, users can open HTML documents from Web sites and save HTML documents to them. Plus, the Internet SmartIcon Palette provides direct access to the Lotus Home Page and Customer Support Page.
Word Pro allows users to publish documents to Web pages and includes over 30 professionally designed HTML SmartMasters templates. A full set of Web authoring tools enables users to publish to the Web, create links and apply tags, etc. directly from within their familiar word processing environment without needing to learn a whole new programming language like HTML. Other new tools in Word Pro make it simple and straightforward to share information via the Internet with colleagues both across town and around the world. Without leaving Word Pro, users can open documents from any HTTP (Web) or FTP server, and save documents to Web servers that reside on corporate intranets, extranets or the public Internet.
Pricing, Availability and System Requirements
SmartSuite 4.5 for Windows 3.1 is available immediately in North America at an estimated retail price (ERP) of $399.00 on CD and diskette. Users of previous versions of SmartSuite or individual Lotus desktop applications for Windows 3.1, and users of qualifying competing suites, spreadsheets, word processors, databases and presentation graphics packages will be eligible to upgrade for an ERP of $149.00.

The military demanded the Fatah Islam fighters holed up in the Nahr el-Bared camp in northern Lebanon surrender and promised to pursue them if they didn't.
Two Lebanese soldiers were killed and 10 wounded in Friday's fighting, according to security officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to address the media. They said a unit of Fatah Islam militants was destroyed, but gave no casualty count.
Friday's deaths raised to 34 the number of soldiers killed since fighting between the army and militants began on May 20. At least 20 civilians and about 60 militants also have been killed in the 13 days of fighting, but it was unclear whether there were any civilian casualties Friday.
Most of the camp's 31,000 refugees have fled, many to the nearby Beddawi refugee camp.
The army appeared to have limited Friday's advance to neighborhoods on the outer ring of the camp, which militants use for sniper fire against army positions. Nahr el-Bared, like the other 11 Palestinian camps in Lebanon, has been off-limits to Lebanese authorities under a nearly 40-year-old agreement that allowed Palestinians to run their own affairs.
The Palestinian representative to Lebanon, Abbas Zaki, said the army would not storm into the camp, where several thousand civilians remain trapped and militants are barricaded in residential neighborhoods of narrow, winding streets and apartment buildings.
A soldier at the scene said troops were fighting from building to building. A resident of the camp, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of militant reprisals, said some Fatah Islam positions were overrun or destroyed.
The army later issued a statement saying it destroyed positions from which the militants attacked troops and civilians, and "tightened the ring" around them, causing many casualties. The statement said other militants had fled deeper inside the camp, taking civilians as "human shields."
"What we have decided is to deal with Fatah Islam as a group, a terrorist group taking hostages who are left in the camp," said Telecommunications Minister Marwan Hamadeh. He told AP Television News in Beirut that the army may be seeking to isolate the militants.
Cabinet Minister Ahmed Fatfat told Al-Arabiya television the army came under sniper fire early Friday and decided to respond. "It seems they have destroyed those positions."
The bombardment sent clouds of white smoke rising from the camp throughout the day, and the shelling ignited fires that spewed black smoke.
The fighting between the army and the Fatah Islam group erupted in the northern port city of Tripoli and the adjacent Nahr el-Bared camp on May 20. At least 22 soldiers and 17 militants were killed that day -- the worst internal violence in Lebanon since the end of the 1975-90 civil war.
After three days of heavy clashes, the government agreed to a truce to give Palestinian mediators and Islamic clerics time to persuade the militants to surrender. Thousands of residents then fled the camp.
Several hundred militants inside Nahr el-Bared continued to target troops with sniper fire, however, vowing to fight to the death. Political support also has grown for the army to resolve the conflict through military action.

Restore Tools Presents a New Outlook Restore Solution Offering More Speed and Efficiency.
Restore Tools, a major developer and supplier of specialized solutions for quick and hassle-free recovery of data from damaged files of the most popular mainstream applications, gladly presents a new and improved version of Outlook Restore Toolbox, an indispensable recovery tool for users seeking a way to restore the contents of damaged Outlook OST/PST files or export data from healthy OST/PST storages to the hard drive for further processing and conversion.
Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) November 15, 2013
Restore Tools, a software developer known for its expertise in data recovery technologies and one of the leading suppliers of top-quality data recovery tools for a broad range of mainstream applications, presents a major update of Outlook Restore Toolbox. http://www.restoretools.com/
The program is based on a completely new file analysis engine that relies on several intelligent heuristic algorithms that identify the maximum of recoverable data in damaged files and successfully restore them. This Outlook restore solution supports two operating modes: data recovery and conversion. The former allows the user to recover a damaged OST/PST file to Outlook, while the latter can be used for healthy OST/PST storages and exporting their contents to a set of files on the user's hard drive. http://www.outlook.restoretools.com/
The converter mode is also intended for converting OST (offline storage) files to the PST format. The product is not limited to recovering messages and attachments only – the scope of recoverable data includes tasks, notes, contacts, journal entries and other standard Outlook items. During the recovery process, the program does not modify damaged source files, thus allowing the user to resort to alternative recovery methods, if necessary. http://www.microsoft.restoretools.com/
"Since Outlook Restore Toolbox has always been high up on our list of best-selling products, the decision to update it with the new core was quite obvious," commented Senior Product Manager at Outlook Restore."The result was surprising and inspiring – our benchmarks showed a considerable increase in performance and quality of recovery from severely damaged files that the previous version of the product had problems with." http://www.microsoftoffice.restoretools.com/
The demo of the updated version of this Outlook restore tool can be downloaded free of charge from the official manufacturer's site. http://www.restoretools.com/download.html

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Measuring Body Fat With a Caliper
Using a high-quality professional tool called a caliper, a trained tester typically measures body fat at 3 to 9 sites on the body. The tester first pinches the skin and the fat that lies under the skin and pulls the skin and fat away from the muscle. The tester then places the caliper 1 cm (0.4 in.) above or below the pinch and reads the measurement from the caliper dial. Usually about two or three measurements are taken at each site.
Body fat measurements can vary depending on who takes the measurement. To see if your body fat level has changed, it's best to get measured by the same person.

By ANDREW firstname.lastname@example.com
Governments around the world must now be wiser against the greed of corporations and stop the damaging race to the bottom.
SOME of you readers are probably aware that I am involved in trying to find a solution to the plight of some 800 employees retrenched by Sanmina-SCI without prior notice. I am disappointed that our ministers and people's representatives have kept a deafening silence regarding the matter.
In the course of my investigation and research, a striking issue came to the fore. Governments all over the world are bending over backwards offering low tax rates and breaks to attract multinational companies.
I am no tax lawyer and I do not for a moment suggest that the companies are breaking the law. The big question is why there are laws designed to allow certain corporate behaviour such as transfer pricing and tax avoidance?
The Economist, one of the world's foremost economic magazines, in its latest issue stated that "higher rates discourage work and investment and encourage tax avoidance".
I simply don't buy this.
Let's take the case of Apple. The world's most profitable technology company has a handful of employees in a small office in Reno, Nevada, in the US. It doesn't design iPhones, MacBooks or iPads there.
Apple's headquarters is in Cupertino, California. By putting an office in Reno — just over 300km away — to collect and invest the company's profits, Apple sidesteps state income taxes on some of those gains. It has avoided millions of dollars in taxes in California and 20 other states. The company paid cash taxes of US$3.3bil around the world on its reported profits of US$34.2bil last year, a tax rate of 9.8%.
California's corporate tax rate is 8.84%.
Nevada's? Zero.
This is one of the many legal methods Apple uses to reduce its worldwide tax bill by the billions. It has also created subsidiaries in low-tax places like Ireland, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and the British Virgin Islands — some little more than a letter box or an anonymous office — that help cut the taxes it pays around the world.
Almost every major corporation tries to minimise its taxes, of course. Corporate giants have taken advantage of tax codes written for an industrial age and ill-suited to today's globalised economy.
In its defence, Apple states that it "pays an enormous amount of taxes, which help our local, state and federal governments".
But shouldn't it have paid more?
Not far from Apple's Cupertino headquarters is the De Anza College, a community college that one of Apple's founders, Steve Wozniak, attended from 1969 to 1974. Because of California's state budget crisis, due in part to low tax rates and tax avoidance, De Anza has cut more than 1,000 courses and 8% of its faculty since 2008.
"I just don't understand it," the college president said in an interview.
"I'll bet every person at Apple has a connection to De Anza. Their kids swim in our pool. Their cousins take classes here. But then they do everything they can to pay as little taxes as possible."
So my point is, should California reduce its tax rate to zero to match Nevada's so as to discourage Apple from avoiding tax?
But then, what is stopping Nevada to move to negative tax and pay incentives to big businesses?
Britain and Germany recently announced plans to push the Group of 20 economic powers to make multinational companies
pay their "fair share" of taxes following reports of large firms exploiting loopholes to avoid them.
Britain's Public Accounts Committee has started holding inquiries amid mounting public and political concern about tax avoidance by big international companies. The committee was astounded that Starbucks UK had managed to report 13 years of losses.
A Reuters report showed that Starbucks had paid no corporation or income tax in Britain in the past three years and had paid only £8.6mil since 1998. Over this period it sold £3.1bil worth of coffee.
"You're either running the business badly, or there's some fiddling going on," Austin Mitchell, one of the MPs, said to Starbucks' chief financial officer, Troy Alstead, who denied the company was shifting profits out of Britain.
But it was revealed that Starbucks UK remitted 6% of its turnover to its Dutch unit as the company had an agreement with the authorities of the Netherlands which allowed it to pay a "very low tax rate".
It was also revealed that Starbucks' Swiss coffee trading unit charged its own group of companies a 20% mark-up on coffee beans.
With a turnover of over US$1bil, this represents an income of more than US$200mil for the Swiss unit, which employs 30 people.
Switzerland charges effective tax rates as low as 5% for coffee trading. Alstead had denied that Starbucks, the world's largest coffee chain, channelled profits through tax havens and said it followed the law in every country where it operated.
Likewise, Apple, in a statement, said it "has conducted all of its business with the highest of ethical standards, complying with applicable laws and accounting rules".
The only way is for governments to come together to maintain similar tax rates so that companies would not be able to play countries off each other to push them to lower tax rates, as what has happened over the past three decades.
This has caused tax revenues to fall and governments to incur huge budget deficits that have compromised investments in infrastructure, education and development.
It also means that governments need to implement Goods and Services Tax (GST), transferring tax from income (and profits) to consumption that is pushing the impact upon those in the lower-income group even more than before.
I do not buy the claim that in Malaysia only 10% of the top earners pay taxes. They conveniently forget that whenever people buy motorbikes, they pay sales tax and excise duty.
When I watch the latest James Bond movie, I pay a 20% entertainment tax. When I drink a glass of whiskey, I pay a sin tax. And when I try my luck at the lottery with my last dollar, I also pay a 10% tax.
Governments around the world must now be wiser against the greed of corporations and stop this damaging race to the bottom. Otherwise they might end up paying taxes/incentives to big businesses, as happened in the case of Sanmina-SCI.
They leave at the end of their tax holidays.

Arnold Schwarzenegger posted an Instagram photo of himself from the sets of the new Terminator film which revealed the title of the latest installment in the popular franchise. Schwarzenegger's post let on that the film due for release on July 1, 2015, is titled Terminator Genisys.
"Hasta la vista, baby. I want to thank the cast and crew of @TerminatorGenisys for a fantastic shoot. It was challenging, it was fun, and it was rewarding. From our director to the producers, from the camera team to catering, from visual effects to hair and makeup - we couldn't have done it without you. I can't wait to see our finished project and I know we'll remind the fans why they fell in love with the Terminator. On July 1, 2015, I'll be back."
However, the name of the film generated a lot of reactions on Twitter and people wasted no time making fun of the oddly spelled word Genisys.
"Terminator Genisys"?!?!?!?! Is it about the Terminator losing a spelling bee?

The upcoming movie Terminator Genisys will explore a bleak future where robots have taken over our spellcheck.

|Funnyman Adam Sandler stars in Walt Disney Pictures' Bedtime Stories, the magical family comedy that's packed with adventure and lots of heart. When Skeeter Bronson (Sandler) babysits his sister's (Courteney Cox) children, his imagination runs wild as he dreams up elaborate bedtime stories -- always casting himself as the hero. Entranced, the children add their own ideas to these once-upon-a-time tales of heroics and chivalry. Then...magic happens. These nighttime fantasies become Skeeter's daytime realities, leading him on a real-life adventure in search of his own happy ending. Filled with colorful characters, humor and whimsy, this heartwarming comedy will enchant your entire family again and again.
"A fun bit of escapism that's even tender in spots. Jonathan Curiel, San Francisco Chronicle
"...Sandler has delivered on his promise to make a movie his kids can enjoy...[and] managed to do so without alienating his core audience. Lael Loewenstein, Variety
"This sweet-natured family comedy makes for great entertainment, balancing adventure thrills with a hefty dose of laughter. Mark Adams, Daily Mirror
"Part live action, part animation, Bedtime Stories is relentlessly silly, kept buoyant by Sandler's zany cheer. Victor Olliver, Teletext
Editor's NoteHaving promised to make a film his own kids could enjoy, Adam Sandler (YOU DON'T MESS WITH THE ZOHAN) delivers the goods in the charming fairy tale BEDTIME STORIES. As the film opens we meet Marty Bronson, running the family motel along with his children, Wendy and Skeeter. Marty's ruinous business sense forces him to sell the motel to ambitious developer Barry Nottingham. Marty hopes Skeeter will run the business someday, but years later we find Skeeter (Sandler) working only as the new hotel's maintenance man. So when Wendy (Courteney Cox) asks Skeeter to babysit her kids, Bobbi and Patrick, Skeeter--a master storyteller--wins them over by crafting bedtime stories that reflect his frustrations. From ancient Rome to outer space, Skeeter is the heroic underdog defeating his hotel rival, Kendall (Guy Pearce), and winning the hand of Nottingham's daughter. But when the kids' creative additions cross over into true life, Skeeter is convinced that they're the key to his sudden success. The price of that success, though, is the destruction of the kids' school. To save the school, his relationship with Wendy's kids, and the affections of love interest Jill (Keri Russell), Skeeter must bring his storytime heroics into the real world. Sandler puts his trademark man-child antics to good use as the disheartened handyman who fulfills his dreams by staying true to the people who matter most. Filled with plenty of humor and a heartfelt message, BEDTIME STORIES is an uplifting family fable that can be appreciated by parents and children alike.

|In reflecting personally and historically, mythological tales and folklore such as the legend of John Henry and the many sagas of Greek mythological figures, have acted as a kind of measuring guide or moral compass for masculine traits. Aspects of our cultural masculinity are reflected in these stories. They serve in some cases as a manual for young men to look towards for guidance. The roles that men have played through history have always intrigued me; men who were singular figures of greatness, who actually existed well beyond myth and legend. Some of these men were alive and their prowess was so great they became more than human, showing that their feats seemed virtually impossible to normal men at that time. These stories and struggles go on in the culture and perhaps the genetics of my own family.

Notice to Readers: National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day --- February 7, 2008
February 7 is National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, which was established to encourage more blacks to be tested for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and to educate the black community regarding the importance of HIV prevention, early detection, and treatment. Although blacks represent only 13% of the U.S. population (1), they are the racial/ethnic group most affected by HIV, accounting for 49% of new HIV diagnoses and 50% of new diagnoses of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) (2).
In March 2007, CDC launched A Heightened National Response to the HIV/AIDS Crisis among African Americans, with the goal of working with community partners to intensify HIV-prevention measures by 1) expanding the reach of prevention programs; 2) increasing opportunities for HIV testing, including encouraging more blacks to know their HIV serostatus; 3) developing effective prevention strategies; and 4) mobilizing broader community action. Additional information is available at http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/aa/resources/reports/heightendresponse.htm.

BUFFALO SPRINGS, TEXAS (Clay County). Buffalo Springs is on Farm Road 3077 fifteen miles south of Henrietta in south central Clay County. Settlement of the area began in 1864, when twenty-five families constructed an outpost and attempted to establish a farming community. The settlers, under persistent Indian attacks and unable to survive a lengthy drought, abandoned the site, which remained uninhabited until 1878, when brothers C. O. and J. Q. Burnett settled about three-quarters of a mile from the ruins of the outpost. The community that developed, named for nearby Buffalo Creek, received postal service that year. By the mid-1890s Buffalo Springs had 200 residents, several stores, and two cotton gins; farming and stockraising were its residents' principal occupations. The reported population fell to 125 in 1914 and 115 by the mid-1920s. In the 1930s Buffalo Springs had a school, two churches, and a variety of small businesses. Its post office was discontinued in 1954, and its population fell from 100 in the 1950s to 60 by the mid-1960s and 51 in 2000.
