10.01.07 - Ricardo Lois, Boxingconfidential.com: Building a world class boxing promotion is a tough row to hoe, but Seminole Warriors Boxing left a serious mark on the fistic landscape in 2006 and will to continue to present world class fights in 2007. Last year Warriors promoted fights on networks such as ESPN, HBO, Showtime, and even went as far as presenting their own pay per view events. Leon Margules Executive Director of Warriors, said that it was not difficult breaking in with boxing's premiere networks once a key component was in place
"If you have talent," said Margules, "the major networks will take care of you. We have some great talent with cruiserweight champion O'Neil Bell, middleweight contender Edison Miranda, and super bantamweight champion Celestino Caballero."
Miranda caught the eyes of fight fans in 2006 with a highly and controversial loss to Arthur Abraham, a knockout victory over veteran Howard Eastman, and the recent destruction of Willie Gibbs.
La Pantera Miranda can be expected to return to HBO in the coming months, but do not expect a rematch with Abraham, according to Margules.
"We welcome a rematch, but Arthur will not be ready for a long, long time. Edison hurt him badly and I just do not see the rematch happening. If Arthur wants it, HBO can make it happen. We will not travel to Germany again and it must be in America."
If Top Rank's Kelly Pavlik can get past Jose Zertuche on HBO's Boxing After Dark on January 27, we might be seeing Pavlik against Miranda next.
"Allan Green is being discussed, or Pavlik. A fight with Pavlik would be a WBC eliminator, if Top Rank is interested in making the fight happen."
The drums of war have started calling for Miranda to receive an opportunity against middleweight champion Jermain Taylor.
Margules become animated when I mentioned the possibility.
"We want Taylor, but Lou Dibella (Taylor's promoter) does not have the balls to fight Miranda. DiBella is going to run from this fight," said Margules.
I am sure Lou will be responding to this statement shortly.
One of my favorite fighters is super bantamweight Caballero, who will be returning to action on March 16 against Julio Zarate on Telefutura's Solo Boxeo. Being an unrecognized, but dangerous fighter, it has been a struggle for Margules to land a marquee fight against Rafael Marquez or Israel Vazquez, yet Margules has faith good things will come.
"Celestino is a great talent, but people are avoiding him. We will continue to do the best we can for him. Other fighters cannot avoid him forever."
Let us not forget, Warriors promotes Juan Urango, who will get a go against British sensation Ricky Hatton January 20, Bell defends his cruiserweight championship against Jean Marc Mormeck on March 17 in France, and Sultan Ibragimov, also a Warriors fighter, will try to acquire a share of the heavyweight championship against Shannon Briggs on March 10.
Margules and Warriors have worked hard and with a little bit of luck, by mid-year, they can find themselves with a super bantamweight champion, light welterweight champion, crusierweight champion, and heavyweight champion.
"We are in the business of building champs," said Margules.
Warrios is doing an excellent job of it, at that.

November Trade Deficit Increases to $36.4 Billion
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 13 January 2010 14:14
The U.S. trade deficit jumped to the highest level in 10 months as an improving U.S. economy pushed up demand for imports. However, exports rose as well, boosted by a weaker dollar, supporting the view that American manufacturers will be helped by a rebounding global economy.

Uniqlo owner won't sign on to Bangladesh safety pact: WSJ
Published on May 28, 2013 6:33 AM
(REUTERS) - Fast Retailing Co Ltd, the Japanese operator of the Uniqlo and Theory fashion brands, for now will not sign a legally binding safety pact for factories in Bangladesh, preferring to ramp up its own inspections, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.
In April, more than 1,100 garment workers died in the collapse of the eight-storey Rana Plaza building in Bangladesh, putting pressure on fashion brands to improve worker safety.
Instead of joining rivals like Sweden's H&M and Spain's Inditex, owner of the Zara brand, in signing the pact, Fast Retailing will improve disaster preparedness and building inspections at its partner factories on its own, said the Journal, which interviewed a company executive.
A Japan-based representative for Fast Fashion could not be reached outside business hours for comment, and a United States (US)-based spokesman did not immediately return a request for comment.

Wisconsin Supreme Court halts issue ad law
August 16, 2010
By Kyle Maichle
MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin: The Wisconsin Supreme Court on August 13, 2010, granted an temporary injunction to halt new campaign finance rules regarding issue advocacy.
In a 4-3 decision, the state's highest court ruled in favor of Wisconsin Prosperity Network and a coalition of tea party groups that claimed the new rules issued by the Government Accountability Board violated both the federal and state constitutions[1].
The written order stated: "petitioners have met their burden to show a likelihood of irreparable injury if a temporary injunction is not issued." The injunction adds on to an agreement already reached in federal court between the state's election authority and One Wisconsin Now along with the [http://www.wicfg.com Wisconsin Club for Growth[1].
Justices David Prosser, Pat Roggensack, Michael Gableman, and Annette Ziegler ruled in the majority with Prosser writing the opinion. Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson along with Justices Ann Walsh Bradley and Patrick Crooks dissented. The dissenting opinion mentioned that for the Supreme Court to issue a temporary injunction was not necessary due to the agreement reached in federal court[1].
Mark Block, a Board Member for the Wisconsin Prosperity Network said: "this victory was won through individuals and organizations standing together to defend the rights of Wisconsin citizens and activists from all political persuasions who should be guaranteed the right to free speech."[2].

The CFPB has announced that on May 8, 2013, it will hold a field hearing in Miami-Dade County, Florida on student loan borrowers. CFPB Director Richard Cordray will be giving remarks at the event.
The CFPB's practice has been to use field hearings as the venue for announcing a new release or initiative. Student loan default rates and servicing problems have been the focus of considerable CFPB attention in recent months. Last month, the CFPB issued a proposal to supervise nonbank servicers of private and federal student loans who qualify as "larger participants" in the student loan servicing market. Comments on the proposal are due by May 28, 2013. In February, the CFPB announced that it was taking the first step to develop a "student loan affordability plan" by issuing a Notice and Request for Information. Comments on the RFI were due by April 8, 2013.

FOX Sports Exclusive
RG3 should scramble away from DC
The Washington Redskins have moved heaven and draft picks to position themselves to land Robert Griffin III, the quarterback we here in Texas affectionately like to call Superman.
WHAT'S SHAKING?NFL Draft is here, and we have you covered.
Nor did we cape him lightly.
He earned that moniker by winning at a Baylor program many felt beyond help. The thing about the cape, or even just the socks with the cape on them, is you think you are invincible. And as my fifth-grade nephew Max Perez recently reminded me, even Superman has his weaknesses. This is why he is a Batman guy.
"He has no super powers. He relies on wits and cool gadgets and Alfred," Max explained. "And taking on the bad guys by yourself is hard."
What I know for sure is not even Superman is a match for the dysfunction that is the Redskins. I am not saying RG3 will fail in D.C., just that it is likely.
Nobody wins with the Redskins. Not lately.
What we have in the nation's capital is a train wreck of an NFL franchise, bringing down legendary coaches and up-and-coming players by the sheer depth and duration of their ineptitude. The Redskins sullied Joe Gibbs on his return engagement.
Nobody stays clean with the Redskins, certainly not in the Daniel Snyder era. What was once one of the best and most beloved franchises under Jack Kent Cooke with The Hogs, The Fun Bunch and championships has become a hot mess. Parallels exist with the Dallas Cowboys, except owner Jerry Jones is likeable, willing to roll with criticism instead of running around in a Napoleonic stupor of denial.
Does anybody believe Superman has a chance against Daniel "Lex" Snyder?
PAY THE PRICEWhich teams regret spending big money on "coveted" free agents? | All-time busts
In the last couple of days, the Redskins traded away a lot of draft picks to get RG3 and lost $35 million in cap room because the NFL said so. (A quick word on Cap-ocalypse: Total b.s. As one of my Twitter followers noted, only the NFL can get away with punishing teams who did not collude against labor during the lockout.) Whoever is to blame, this does not bode well for RG3's chance of actually succeeding. This is not an indictment of the quarterback but rather a nod to the reality that nobody can do it alone.
I like the Pierre Garcon signing. Who would not? History suggests, though, that team-building is not a Redskin strength.
The best quarterbacks need decent running games, offensive lines, wide receivers and defenses to have a chance. This is obvious. What is not so obvious is you have to have the right people in place to get the right people in place.
What about this Redskins organization at the moment says, "The right people are in place?"
The Redskins will be his Kryptonite. And six years from now, we will feel sorry for RG3 or, worse yet, talking about what a bust he was because he was unable to win in D.C. when the reality is doing so was always unlikely.
There will be second-guessing of the trade and hindsight about what the draft picks could have been and doubt about RG3. And the formative years of his career likely will have been spent in a wasteland. This will be painful to watch, not unlike when a drunken Superman flicked peanuts into the mirror in what I think was the second movie.
We all have a responsibility to try to save Superman, which is why Archie and Eli Manning need to talk to him about lost causes.
"I think that is the case," RG3 told my friend and Redskins fan, David Smoak, on ESPN Radio in Waco this week when asked if he'd play for whoever drafted him. "I'm not going to pull the 'I don't want to play here' card. That is not in my nature, not who I am."
It is cute, even noble, to envision oneself being the savior of a franchise. It is quite another to actually do the salvaging. This is what Archie learned first hand in his NFL days and is why he advised his son, Eli, to avoid San Diego at all costs back in 2004.
Eli got crucified for this power play, for being controlled by his dad, for being unwilling to try to save San Diego. Chargers GM A.J. Smith still has his whitey-tighties in a bunch about this, years later, unleashing snarky little comments recently about how Archie is now making decisions for Peyton.
What is funny is Eli was right. Archie, too.
Of the three quarterbacks the Chargers could have had long-term — Eli, Drew Brees or Philip Rivers — only one does not have a championship. It is the one that San Diego decided to keep. I do not think this speaks to Rivers' talent, or lack thereof, as much the franchise.
And San Diego is not nearly the mess that Washington is.
What Eli rightly decided was track record matters, and in New York there is a history of stability and sanity. It played out again this year. The knee-jerk reaction from the outside was to fire the coach, Tom Coughlin. If there is one thing the Giants rarely do, it is knee jerk. We all know how this story ends, with another championship parade in New York and a second ring for Eli.
Maybe, he could have done this in San Diego. And maybe, Superman really can swoop in and save this Redskins team from futility.
Me? I tend to agree with my nephew.
Taking on the bad guys by yourself is hard — especially when one of them owns the team.

|Queen consort of Bohemia and Hungary

Buda, Hungary
Anna of Foix-Candale (1484 – 26 July 1506) was Queen of Hungary and Bohemia as the third wife of King Vladislaus II.
Anne was the daughter of Gaston of Foix, Count of Candale, and Infanta Catherine of Navarre. Her mother was the youngest daughter of Queen Eleanor of Navarre, and Gaston IV, Count of Foix.
Anne grew up at the French royal court in Blois. She was educated in Latin and the Classics. The nephew of the French monarch, the Duke of Longueville, is reported to have been in love with her and wished to marry her, but it was prevented because a political marriage was planned for Anne. The elderly, twice-divorced and childless King Vladislaus II of Hungary of the Jagiellon dynasty had been searching a wife capable of giving him a son. His sights were set on a powerful alliance, closely related to French royalty was acceptable. Anne was engaged in 1500, the marriage contract confirmed in 1501, and wed in 1502 at the French court. On her way to Hungary, she was much celebrated in Italy and in Venice, causing a conflict between France and Hungary that were unable to agree who should pay the expenses. On 29 September 1502, Anne wed Vladislaus in Székesfehérvár and she was crowned Queen of Hungary there that same day.[1]
Anne brought a French court and French advisors with her to Hungary. The relationship was happy at least from the king's view, and he is reported to have regarded her as a friend, assistant and a trusted advisor. She was economically indebted to Venice and was said to favourise Venice. In 1506, her signature was placed on a document alongside the king's regarding an alliance with the Habsburg. Anne enjoyed great popularity after the birth of a son, but the pregnancies ruined her health. She died a little more than three weeks later, as the result of complications from her son's delivery, at the age of 21 or 22 in Buda.
Although Anna was his third wife, she gave birth to his only surviving legitimate children,[2] who were born in Buda:
- Anna of Bohemia and Hungary, later Queen consort of Hungary and Bohemia. Married Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor, and they inherited Bohemia and what was left of Hungary.
- Louis II of Hungary and Bohemia, who was born on 1 July 1506, King of Hungary and Bohemia, killed 1526. Married Mary of Habsburg; their marriage was childless, although he fathered illegitimate issue.

Hands On Sacramento Day Renovates Non Profit's Urban Farm for Healthy Communities
SACRAMENTO, Calif., Sept. 26 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Hands On Sacramento and Volunteer Sacramento united local businesses from the Sacramento region's Corporate Volunteer Council (CVC) to participate in Hands On Sacramento Day. This year's project called on volunteers to renovate Soil Born Farms, a non-profit center.
"We encourage Sacramentans to contribute to their communities by uniting and taking action," said Kathy Chow, Director of Hands On Sacramento. "Hands On Sacramento and Volunteer Sacramento are striving to make this community a better place by getting volunteers to dedicate their time and talents helping others."
Soil Born Farm's mission is to create an urban agriculture and education project that empowers youth and adults to learn and participate in a local food system that encourages healthy living, nurtures the environment and grows a sustainable community.
"Unlike many places around the world, we still have the unique capacity to feed ourselves and create sustainability around good, locally grown food," explains Shawn Harrison, Executive Director & Co-Founder of Soil Born Farms Urban Agriculture Project. "Preserving and nourishing this rare opportunity now may be the most important long term health decision we make as a community."
Community leaders including Mayor Kevin Johnson, Karen Baker with CaliforniaVolunteers, corporate leaders and employees across the Sacramento region came together for this important cause to help support healthy communities and low-cost food sources in our local area.
"Volunteerism is the backbone of our country and one of the best ways people can get involved to make a difference in their community," said Mayor Kevin Johnson. "I am honored to partner with Hands On Sacramento, and my hope is that together we will inspire people to get off the sidelines and get involved to make Sacramento a city that works for everyone."
Hands On Sacramento Day volunteers harvested food that will help nourish families in low-income areas through a variety of outlets including Del Paso Heights Community Farmers Market, Head Start Urban Produce Stands and the Sacramento Food Bank. Soil Born Farms also offers a work-trade program, where regular volunteers are able to donate time for healthy produce.
Additional accomplishments from the Hands On Sacramento Day volunteer effort included:
- Packaging harvested produce
- Planting new seasonal crops for Fall
- Building a demonstration garden for the facilities education program
- Native habitat restoration projects
- Entrance beautification projects
- Community education about urban agriculture
The new 25 acre American River Ranch site promises to be a great community resource. Through the cultivation of collaborations and partnerships, Soil Born Farms has assisted in the development of new urban growing sites including small farms and community gardens.

Volunteer Sacramento is an effort led by Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, in partnership with Hands On Sacramento and Honorary Chair Congress woman Doris Matsui, to encourage volunteerism and service in our community. With the goal of making Sacramento the number one city in California for Volunteering, Volunteer Sacramento asks every resident to donate a minimum of 10 hours each year.
Our goal is to have over 500,000 hours of community service logged by the end of 2009, which will translate into an economic contribution of more than $10 million back into our community. Adults, youth, families and companies will participate in service projects centered around a monthly calendar of volunteer themes.

I stack the little chairs every Sunday as an assistant nursery leader. I'm saved! ^_^
Sister T | Email | Homepage | 09.28.04 – 3:52 pm | #
I usually set up the chairs because I'm a compulsive punctual…or at least I would if my wife wasn't always late. And I don't stack them because there's a committe somewhere for that. I'll probably end up getting the "hot seat" huh?!
Don | Email | Homepage | 09.28.04 – 4:31 pm | #
Maybe Don should go to hell for his lame puns.
Rusty | Email | Homepage | 09.28.04 – 5:13 pm | #
The question is how many did you STACK, Don, so I'm pretty sure setting up is of no worth, whatsoever.
Bret | Email | Homepage | 09.28.04 – 9:11 pm | #
One request: wait for the music to end before you start stacking. Baptism services are where I find too soon chair stacking most jarring.
John Mansfield | Email | Homepage | 09.29.04 – 2:01 pm | #
Could the women's judgment day question be "How many casseroles did you give away?" …Probably not, since that doesn't reveal church attendance. But hopefully it can count for something! Guess I'll try to stack a few more chairs. (That's another whole issue, right — stacking lots of chairs but doing so grudgingly, or with intent only for personal gain?)
Amy | Email | Homepage | 10.01.04 – 4:56 pm | #
I hadn't really thought about that, Amy. There's enough RS meetings and YW meetings and such that you would have just as many chairs to stack as the men in the church, right? If not then I guess you will have to get more centerpieces and tablecloths set for meetings!

Hillsboro, Ore -- Evidently someone wanted a better deal than any Black Friday sale was offering. Five businesses in Hillsboro and Forest Grove had their glass doors smashed and cash stolen out of the registers, early Friday morning.
Alarms went off on E. Main St. in Hillsboro around 5 a.m. when a cell phone store and the Hillsboro Hobby Shop were broken into.
An hour later, motion alarms went off on Pacific Avenue in Forest Grove. Three businesses there, the Little Monkey Deli, Pac Thai Restaurant and the Brass Comb Salon were hit in the very same way. Nothing else was touched, only the registers. The glass doors alone are hundreds of dollars to replace, and on a big holiday weekend, it hurts.
That's when less people are around and you can get away with it I guess, said Terry Lee, whose wife works at the Brass Comb. People don't have anything and want everything for free.
The suspect was caught on surveillance video both in Forest Grove and Hillsboro. Police are comparing the videos and said the suspect looks very similar in all cases.
I feel sorry that he's gotta go to such extreme lengths for such little money and so much damage to everybody else, said Greg Carlson, owner of the Hillsboro Hobby Shop.

Dropbox, Box IPO's Flop
Judging by my predicitions, 2014 seems to be more about private companies than public ones, and this prediction is no different.
Dropbox and Box, both based in Silicon Valley, serve a very important market, allowing customers to store and share their photos, documents and videos in the cloud, and then bring them anywhere they go.
Both offer free storage to their users, with Dropbox starting at 2GB and Box offering 5GB worth of storage, but document sharing is a commodity, and ultimately, a utility. Apple offers its own services, iCloud, and actually tried to buy Dropbox in 2009, before being rebuffed. Google, Microsoft (MSFT) and others also offer free file hosting and sharing services.
Though revenue growth for either company isn't public, it's thought that Dropbox did $240 million in 2011, and Forbes reported Box did around $70 million in 2012. Dropbox offers three types of accounts: Free, Pro, and Teams, which is offered toward businesses. Dropbox allows users to store 2 GB of data for free, all the way up to 18 GB if you refer other users. The Pro plan starts at $9.99 per month for 100 GB worth of storage, and increases from there.
These aren't huge numbers, and the growth rates aren't known, but I suspect three to six months out from their initial public offerings, investors will be looking very differently at these companies than they did prior to their IPO's, largely because it's pretty difficult to tell one service from another.

The Stars Come Out: Now in It's 40th Season, MU's Summer Repertory Theatre Program Enjoys a History of Great Actors, Sold-Out Events.
By Sara Agnew, Columbia Daily Tribune, Mo.
Jul. 6–Long before there was a Summer Repertory Theatre program at the University of Missouri, audiences gathered on the education building's roof to watch student-directed shows. Imagine 75 wooden folding chairs set up in a square around an invisible stage, and you begin to get a picture of what was known as the Starlight Theatre.
Among the many actors who performed on the makeshift stage in the mid-1950s was an up-and-coming star named George C. Scott.
It was also where a lesser-known theater student launched his career, staging his thesis play, "The Loud Red Patrick." Larry Clark would later bring that stage indoors, founding the MU Summer Repertory Theatre. The theater's inaugural season opened July 3, 1969, with a production of Moliere's "The Imaginary Invalid."
Now in its 40th season, the Summer Repertory Theatre has gone through a number of changes. Clark, now 75, went on to direct 17 shows for summer theater and has since retired from MU as a professor of acting, directing and history of the American theater in the 20th century. But one thing has remained the same: Audiences can still expect to be entertained by a company of paid actors who want nothing more than to put on a good show.
"There are so many more" different summer "theaters and things going on now than there were when Summer Rep first started," said Jim Miller, MU professor of acting, directing, costume design, musical theater performance and stage movement. "What I think you get here, though, is really top-notch design. There isn't a bad seat in the house."
This summer, Miller is directing the musical "Cabaret," which debuted on Broadway in 1966 and became an acclaimed 1972 film starring Liza Minnelli and Joel Grey. The MU show opened Wednesday and continues through July 20.
"Sanders Family Christmas" follows under the direction of Clyde Ruffin, chairman of the MU Theater Department. The musical, which runs Thursday through July 27, is part of a Sanders family trilogy that includes the well-known musical "Smoke on the Mountain" and features a variety of gospel music. Both shows are at MU's Rhynsburger Theatre, which seats 288.
Also included this season are three "Comedies in Concert" — short comedies written by students — all of which are sold out.
Clark said today there is little crossover of actors in the summer productions. That wasn't the case in the early days, when the program featured a paid company doing three shows — a classic comedy, a well-known American play and something more avant-garde. The shows opened on consecutive nights and played in nightly rotations. The pace could be grueling.
"Everyone was in at least two of the shows and sometimes all three," Clark said. "We had auditions here during which 200 to 250 people from a 500-mile radius would come.
"The kind of shows we were doing were a great experience for them," he added. "The audience also enjoyed seeing the same actors do different roles."
Back then, there was little competition from other theater companies. As a result, most of the shows were sold out. "We had very, very strong attendance," Clark said.
Sometimes, the summer program would employ a visiting professional, such as a writer, director or costume designer. Clark said there were even summers during which equity actors were brought on board.
"It was very different from what they are doing now," he said. "It has evolved over the years."
Ruffin said budget cuts are to blame for some of the changes to the Summer Repertory Theatre program. Auditions are held locally instead of on a traveling basis, and many of the actors are college students.
"We try to get the word out regionally," Ruffin said. "One of the reasons we cut back on travel is so we can continue to pay the company a competitive salary."
Miller said the format for the summer program changed a few years ago to make room for the popular short student-written plays. The Comedies in Concert were inspired by MU Associate Professor David Crespy's Writing for Performance program.
"That allowed us to do one less big show and add several smaller shows," said Miller, who added that most of the students hired for summer theater are at the top of their game. "Once they get a lead in Summer Rep, they are really polished."

Hi Radu3329, As Sevenspark has answered your question and as you now know, linking to a place that offers competing products is against the community guidelines, I'm going to remove the link from your post. Feel free to ask any other questions you may have.
Sure, no problem, I got my answer. I thought if this http://graphicriver.net/forums/thread/free-images/112385 is allowed, the link from my thread would be too. Anyway, no problem, I'm new around here so it's good to know how things work. Thanks, Carmen.

Schagerl Trumpet Model "Gansch-Horn"
Model "Hoersdorf"
Model "Hoersdorf Heavy"
Model "Vienna"
Model "D2"
Further informations
Give my regards to Dizzy!The Ganschhorn was developed with input of austrian trumpet-great Thomas Gansch (Mnozil Brass). It combines the advantages of a rotary trumpet with the handling of a perinet instrument. It has the direct response of a perinet horn and offers the smooth rotary sound and makes fast-playing easy. The special bell design turns this horn to a real eyecatcher. The Ganschhorn can be obtained as a VIENNA, HÖRSDORF and HÖRSDORF HEAVY model.
Schagerl Artists - Model "Gansch Horn"
Thomas Gansch
>> Gansch & Roses, Mnozil Brass
The Ganschhorn, especially developed for me together with the music store Schagerl, is an ideal instrument for an "allrounder". I can use it for all music styles, no matter if I play in a Big band, a symphony-orchestra, for chamber music, at the studio or with the brass band. The special form of this trumpet is a great advantage when you are on stage and want to entertain.
Other advantages are the vertical valve sections, which are easier to play than the usual rotary trumpets – a gorgeous instrument for highest quality standards.

A study of 51 women who underwent breast reconstruction with autologous abdominal tissue found that they felt better about themselves as soon as three weeks after the procedure. "The really exciting thing about this particular study is the idea that we can show the impact of breast reconstruction on improving quality of life in women with breast cancer," said researcher and ASPS member Dr. Andrea Pusic. One of the questionnaires used in the study was developed with the support of the Plastic Surgery Foundation.

Recent Boothbay Harbor Reviews
A Maine Classic
We have rented 10 different cabins in recent years in Mid-Coast Maine, and this one is the classiest and coziest. It's what you've probably dreamed a cabin in Maine ought to look like. It's only 2 miles from Boothbay Harbor, 2.5 from a large supermarket, but it's tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac and a world away. It's surrounded by trees, yet has a terrific view to the ocean, with wind and waves the only sounds. It's 20 yards down a stone-stepped path, and another 20 yards down to the dock from the cabin. The cabin comes with a canoe you can use on Appalachee Pond, a block's distance away. The pond has a great beach for kids and is very pretty to canoe around, but you'll cover the whole thing in half an hour. The owners allowed us to bring the canoe to tidewater as we are very avid canoers, and we had many great paddles around Linekin Bay, which is about 3 miles long and half that wide, with several islands to paddle around. Each day we were passed by busy lobster boats pulling their traps and circled above by osprey. There is a floating dock you can leave the canoe on overnight. You can access the water at any tide, unlike other places we've stayed at where the dock is high and dry at low tide. The bedrooms are not large, but adequate. The main bedroom has a queen bed, the other two a twin bed each, and there are two bathrooms, each one between the main bedroom and one of the single rooms. One of the single rooms is on the ocean side, with nice views to the water and waves on the shore lulling you to sleep. The kitchen was well-equipped. The dining table was well-lit and large. The living room is the real treasure here: large and almost glowing from the log walls, log beams, and shiny wooden floor with colorful rugs about. There is a large plush sofa and easy chairs, also well-lit, and in a corner another table where we could spread out maps or do a jigsaw puzzle, had we ever found the time. Finally, there is a porch on the water side where you can spend many pleasant hours reading and listening to the waves. Boothbay Harbor and area attractions are nearby. If you enjoy hiking, the Boothbay Region Land Trust owns and maintains many nature preserves nearby, including one right next to Appalachee Pond. They have downloadable trail maps on their website. The owners live right across the road and are very helpful. Between them and the beauty of the cabin and the area, it was very hard to leave. We're already making plans to return.
Outstanding, cozy location, lovely lake!
After my one caveat: the house is small, so only suitable for couples or small (3-4 person) families (one BR with a double, one BR with bunk bed), you could not find a more lovely place. This was our second stay there and prepare for a real treat. Kim the owner improved the master bed (used to squeak) over last year and we had a great time again swimming and kayaking and dining on the dock. The place is very well landscaped, kitchen very well stocked (not great for dining room but fine for meal prep), and Kim and her mother very accommodating and helpful. Definitely would stay here anytime.
Perfect Rental Property!
My husband and I stayed at this property with our two sons, ages 5 and 1. To begin with, communications with the owners was wonderful from the moment we inquired about the property all the way through pulling out of the driveway at the end of our stay. We had never been to Maine and did not know what to expect. The house is extremely neat and very clean. The location is wonderful. It's only about a 2 minute drive into Downtown Boothbay. There are tons of day trips within 30-45 minutes of the property. The lake across the street was very enjoyable for my 5 year old. He and my husband went out on the row boat almost everyday to go fishing. I can't say enough good things about this rental. We will definitely be back!

SANTA ANA – A cemetery manager Tuesday confirmed that the remains of Sgt. Alvin H. Green – whose headstone was found beneath the porch of a home in Old Towne Orange 20 years ago – are buried here.
How the headstone and remains were separated is still a mystery.
On Monday, John Giannini, 87, turned the broken, marble headstone of a soldier who might have fought in the Spanish-American War over to the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Tuesday, readers saw a Register story online about the transfer and pointed the reporter to a database that lists an Alvin H. Green buried at Santa Ana Cemetery. The reporter went out to the plot and found a small monument, with the name and exact date of death matching federal records for the Army sergeant.
(To view a video on the headstone, click here.)
(Watch an updated video about the discovery of the deceased veteran's grave site here.)
According to the monument, the buried Green was 37 at the time of his death.
Julio Amarillas, the cemetery manager, said records were checked this afternoon and it was determined the headstone was in fact that of the man buried here.
"It's just awesome,'' he said. "I like that you're able to be 100 percent sure. ... When he died, he was on his fifth enlistment. I guess he made a career out of it.''
Green died of exhaustion, records show, with his last residence in Mexico. It is unclear if he was in the service at the time. The sergeant, who was single, is buried next to family members.
Representatives of the Los Angeles National Cemetery met Giannini at his home in Mission Viejo on Monday to retrieve the infantryman's headstone nearly 20 years after Giannini found it under the front porch of his rental property.
In 1994, Giannini and a son were attempting to repair the front wooden porch of the home at 166 S. Lemon St. in Orange, across the street from American Legion Hall, Post 132.
"When we opened it up, it was solid full of beer bottles," Giannini said. "We cleared the bottles out, and I'm digging about three feet down and I hit a stone."
Giannini said when he pulled the headstone out of the ground, he wasn't too excited about his find.
"I thought that maybe we were in a place where they buried people," he said. "We didn't think much of it, because at that time, I was rebuilding a house."

Mobile advertising has been around a lot longer than smart phones. Retailers have used their customers as mobile billboards for decades, by printing branding messages on their shopping bags. Some shopping bags even become status symbols themselves, rivalling the most popular fashion brands. Bloomingdale's iconic "Brown Bag" and Tiffany's trademark blue bag are great examples. Shopping bags from luxury brands like Chanel, Hermes and Louis Vuitton have always carried special prestige.
Recent bans on disposable shopping bags have resulted in even more attention from retailers. The reusable shopping bag now has the potential to be used as an everyday, all-purpose carry-all. Witness the popularity of Whole Foods two-dollar grocery totes, and Lululemon's little red "manifesto" totes, which are commonly used as second purses. The fact is, people have stuff to carry, they need bags, and there's intense competition among "bagvertisers" to get all of us to carry their branded bags.

Large electricity users can choose power suppliers by December
popular .
Large electricity users will finally be able to choose their own power suppliers beginning December 26, when the government implements the open access system.
In a decision dated June 6, the Energy Regulatory Commission said that day would "mark the commencement of the full operations of the competitive retail electricity market in Luzon and Visayas."
"All electricity end-users with an average monthly peak demand of 1 megawatt for the 12 months preceding Dec. 26, 2011, should have the right to choose their own electricity suppliers and are, thus, enjoined to exercise such right to their full benefit," the ERC explained.
Initially, only large power users will be able to choose their power suppliers. However, households will eventually enjoy the same arrangement later. Under the current system, consumers have no choice but get power from the suppliers that have jurisdiction over their respective areas.
The open access regime is expected to further encourage competition among power industry stakeholders, resulting in fair electricity prices.
ERC executive director Francis Saturnino Juan, however, is encouraging large power customers to start looking for and contracting with suppliers of their choice as early as now.
The ERC decision further assured the public that there was sufficient power supply to meet the surge in demand to be brought about by the open access regime.
The ERC, the decision stated, also directed NGCP (National Grid Corp. of the Philippines) to submit its list of projects aimed at improving the transmission capacity of the Luzon and Visayas grids.
The decision identified as another important component of the retail market the customer switching system. This should be supported by a business-to-business system that will be maintained and operated by an entity managing the central registry for the retail market. The B2B system is intended to be an information technology supported hub for retail market participants mainly for information exchange for switching, billing and settlement purposes.

EUW! I just got out of the shower and when I used this I seriously nearly puked! I got a sample at Lush last week and this was the first and last time I will ever use it. It smells DISGUSTING! It has such a strong scent and I don't even know. I guess some people like this smell, but me? Oh no. So awful. Even if this would be the best shower gel in the world, nothing ways up for that smell. Uhhh...

Smells are personal and this one just wasnt for me. At all. It was very overwhelming in the shower and I didnt like it. It did make my skin soft and its more moisturizing than some of the other shower gels I've tried from lush.

I got a free sample and I'm so glad I didn't pay to try this. The scent is horrible! I can't smell any of the jasmine it is supposed to smell of.
The scent lingers on your skin and bathroom. It lathers well but I found it very drying.
It is very expensive and comes in a pretty standard lush bottle that's almost impossible to get the last bit out of.

Amazing, beautiful smell!! I think there's like 6 different types of honey in this! It creates a very rich lather and will smell up your entire bathroom! I'm a vegan, but I still use this because it's just that amazing:)
The only downside is that this is not one of Lush's natural products-there are some harmful petrochemicals :/ so that removes a star !

i love the smell of jasmine and honey so i am in love with this! it makes me so calm and relaxed when i use it. though i agree that it is a scent that is easily overpowering and nauseating after a while, but if you use it less frequently and are a fan of this scent, then there's no reason why you wouldn't like it. it also leaves my skin feeling clean and soft :) i think this would be a great one for winter

LOVE this. I love all things jasmine. It smells like real jasmine, not a fake manufactured jasmine. The smell of the honey is pretty strong as well. Its a rich, sultry smell that lasts on my skin. Its perfect for shaving, helps make the legs and other good parts smell wonderful. I recently started using this as shampoo, I have added to my other 'poos but I only recently started using it alone. And boy ! My hair is so soft and bouncy and of course smells amazing. My hair is naturally really frizzy and it doesn't do anything to help with that. But my hair is always soft and bouncy after using this stuff as shampoo. This is a staple in my bathroom, the smell comforts me and gives me a little oomph when I need it.

Yuck! Flying Fox is probably one of the nastiest smelling Lush products ever made. I am shocked at all of the wonderful reviews for this product. First of all it smells like a dirty litter box mixed with honey and jasmine, not something I would like to rub all over my body. The scent is just really dirty smelling. The texture of this soap is really runny, one of the most odd shower gels I have ever tried..not to mention the price is outrageous. A bottle of this is $27!

I've almost never been without a stock of Flying Fox since it first came out. I love it so much. I don't use it often, it's not really an everyday bath gel. But for days when I have cobwebs in my mind, or my body just took a beating, or when I am on vacation and relaxing, this is THE luxury to which I come back to again and again. It is jasmine through and through; the smell is quite strong and will last, which is why I love it.

The best thing about this school is undoubtedly the atmosphere. I know it sounds corny, but it's true. Any time I leave my dorm, I see the largest array of people from all different backgrounds...
The worst thing about this school is all the "partying". I myself am not a partier, but if I walk outside my dorm on a Thursday to Saturday night at around 10 pm, I see boys and girls alike milling...
the college "atmosphere" is separatrd from the city and is stunningly beautiful with a warm relationship amongst faculty and students despites its large size
some classes exceed 250 students ..can be difficult for individual attention unless you ask so ask!
The diversity
The parking tickets
Student, Michigan State...

I wish I knew How big it actually is.
Every student at this school needs not sure
Another awesome thing is The food
Every student at this school needs An umbrella!

The German programmer who has taken responsibility for Heartbleed- an encryption bug affecting millions of passwords -said on Friday that he accidentally inserted the bug into open-source coding that he was trying to improve.
Robin Seggelmann, a German national now works for T-Systems, a unit of Deutsche Telekom AG, who have handed out advise on Computer Security.The Telekom recommends its customers to use virus protection and secure passwords and be careful when mails.
They advise :
* Current virus protection limits the risk of infection with malware.This protection is not missing in smartphones, especially with open operating systems like Android.
In addition, both the operating system of the PC and the software used is always up to date should be.
*Be careful with e-mails that ask for personal information or passwords.The danger here is that criminals wish to gain access.

Detroit Reservoir -
Detroit Lake is a reservoir impounded by the Detroit Dam on the North Santiam River 46 miles (74 km) southeast of Salem, Oregon, United States. The lake is adjacent to Oregon Route 22 near the city of Detroit. This mesotrophic lake stores water for use by the city of Salem and other nearby communities.
Detroit Lake is situated over a historical road bed of the former Oregon Pacific Railroad. This route was built by Colonel T. Egenton Hogg as a proposed transcontinental railroad. Because of a lack of funding, the line terminated in Idanha, southeast of the lake. Idanha had rail service until the 1950s, when the track was removed for installation of the Detroit and Big Cliff reservoirs. Detroit Lake was created in 1953 after the completion of the dam. Part of the Willamette Valley Projects, the lake was intended primarily for flood control and power generation but has become one of the major recreation resources in western Oregon.
The reservoir has a capacity of 455,000 acre feet (561,000,000 m3) of water when full and 281,600 acre feet (347,300,000 m3) in the summer when drawn down. Located in the North Santiam Canyon, the 9-mile (14 km) long lake has shoreline of 32 miles (51 km) when full. One swimming opportunity is at the Mongold Day-Use Area (an Oregon State Park). Detroit Lake is stocked by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife with 125,000 catchable rainbow trout along with fingerling rainbow, kokanee and chinook salmon. A self-sustaining population of brown bullhead catfish resides in the lake.

Matt Lauer Family Photos
Matt Lauer was photographed walking with his daughter Romy in Manhattan yesterday. The Today Show co-host is still recovering from a bicycle accident that caused a shoulder separation, which required surgery.
Lauer is married to former Dutch model Annette Roque. She filed for divorce in 2006 but the couple later reconciled. They have three children, Jack, 7, Romy, 5, and Thijs (pronounced Tice), 2.
Rumors have surfaced again in May 2010 that Lauer has left his wife and is hunting for a Manhattan apartment. It seems Lauer's ex-wife Nancy Alspaugh isn't surprised. She said, "Show me 10 men who are in the position he is in and I will show you nine who are unfaithful -- only they don't get caught or their wives don't leave them." See photos of Nancy here.
We've included photos of Natasha Bedingfield in some very interesting poses with Lauer. If that is the norm, is it any wonder Roque got suspicious?
See who has surfaced as Matt Lauer's alleged 'other woman' here.
