2008: Democrats: Obama vs. Clinton:
Howard Fineman takes a different kind of look at the battle for the Democratic nomination mostly through the Clinton v. Obama prism and compares this race to high school. One candidate would be the preppy, straight-A student and the other would be the student who everyone wanted to be around. (We'll let you figure out which is which.) LINK

The story
"Thirty years from now was yesterday," says Old Joe (Bruce Willis) to his younger self (Joseph Gordon-Levitt). "Time travel – it doesn't matter." "It fries your brain," says mobster Abe (Jeff Daniels). Old Joe comes from 2074, sent back 30 years by mobsters to be assassinated in 2044, where this sci-fi thriller's action is set. Young Joe is a "looper," drug-addled hitman who dispatches targets and incinerates their bodies. But, failing to kill his older self, he "lets his loop run," with consequences both complicated and dangerous.
Does young Joe kill Old Joe before Old Joe finds and dispatches "The Rainmaker"? Who is "The Rainmaker"? Must the future be this dystopian? See "Looper" for answers to these and other questions.
The actors
First-rate performances by Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are among the many pleasures of this film. Willis is Old Joe — 30 years older than himself as young Jo — played by Gordon-Levitt. Their complementary performances are the heart of the story, especially in a face-to-face conversation over steak and eggs at an isolated diner, where they talk about life, death and love. "My memories aren't memories," says Willis. "They are only possibilities." Old Joe mixes wistfulness and rage. Young Joe is just starting to find his way.
Others in the excellent cast include Emily Blunt as Sara, lonely single mother whose 5-year old son Cid (Pierce Gagnon) may — or may not — be a critical — if unseen — character in 2074. Jeff Daniels is Abe, brutal and chilling mobster sent from the future to "manage" the loopers. Paul Dano and Noah Segan are Seth and Kid Blue, gat men who work for Abe. Piper Perabo is young Joe's friend Suzie. Summer Qing is Old Joe's wife.
Other comments
"Looper" is smart and compelling, a sci-fi thriller with excellent performances, gripping story and don't-take-your-eyes-off-the-screen visuals. Written and directed by Rian Johnson, it's the best sci-fi, time-travel film since "Twelve Monkeys" (1995) and the "Terminator" franchise. Like Old Joe, "Looper" loops back on itself, so pay attention to the story but, as Old Joe says, "Time travel doesn't matter." Because director Johnson keeps things moving, there's little time (so to speak) to ponder the story's improbabilities. Watch for clever cuts, editing, elegant camera work, and stunning images, including homage to Hitchcock's "North by Northwest" (1959).
"Looper" is rated R for strong violence, language, sexuality, nudity, and drugs. It runs 118 minutes. It's about life, death, love, memories, the future, and regrets. If you liked "Inception" (2010), you'll like "Looper." I saw it twice. Discuss the plot's logical problems on the way home.
Final words
Nifty sci-fi thriller,
Time travel "Looper,"
Smart script's a killer,
Noirish, super-duper!

Seeger's skill at creating simple yet wonderfully effective concept books, as well as her mastery of die-cuts that delight in unexpected and ingenious ways, are in full evidence in this salute to the color green. The gently rhymed verse consists entirely of two-word phrases and begins with a rundown of specific shades ("forest green/ sea green/ lime green/ pea green") before moving into more abstract directions. The turning point: "wacky green," paired with a portrait of a green-and-white zebra shown happily munching grass. Seeger paints thickly on a canvas backdrop that lends an appropriately organic feel, given the natural sources for many of the varieties of green. Throughout, die-cuts of various sizes, shapes, and quantities build surprising connections between adjoining spreads: the words khaki and jungle are hidden within the backgrounds of the other's spread, both made legible by the same rectangular window; a "slow green" inchworm becomes the hook on which hangs a "faded green" sign. There's even room for spreads about the absence of green (a stop sign is "never green"). Here's hoping subsequent color books from Seeger get the green light. Ages 2–6.

Well, hello there Laura Haddock all candid and wet and bikini'd up in Hawaii. You may remember Laura from her sweet topless scenes in DaVinci's Demons, or you may just know her now as the sextastic thespianic strolling the beaches of our 50th state all wet and hot and alluring. She's not even trying, trust me, not a bit.
I quite delight in seeing girls from TV and movies candidly exposed for the first time and seeing they are just as hot offscreen as on. Not all are, but many, and it only makes my celluloid dreams that much more powerful. Powerful enough to impress Laura Haddock I suppose. She's given me a few demons of my own that need exorcising. Enjoy.

SUWANEE - When a controversy sprung up about development in Suwanee's Old Town community, two of the men the city turned to for their opinions were Kevin McOmber and Andy Duncan.Now, residents can choose between the two for the City Council. A special election will be held Tuesday to decide the replacement for Alan Lander, who married and moved from the city earlier this year. For Duncan, the development issue is the reason he got into politics. He lives in the Old Town area and believes a zoning classification that allows denser development could be detrimental to the community. "Suwanee's been our own little secret nirvana. The secret's gotten out, so everyone wants to live in Suwanee," he said, adding that he bought a house on a wooded street because that is how he wanted to raise his son. "You can't keep that (atmosphere) if you want to build so everyone can move to Suwanee. ... We shouldn't bulldoze everything else." McOmber said he agrees with Duncan on a lot of the issues but says he is the better candidate because of his experience on the issues and from working with the city, county and state. "I recognize my fellow candidate has an agenda, and that's fine, but I don't believe he's experienced in all the issues," said McOmber, who designed Suwanee's Town Center Park. "I want to continue to see (the city) prosper as a regional leader. That can only happen through strong leadership." Polls will be open at the Suwanee Crossroads Center from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday. In Georgia, another special election will be held to decide the replacement for U.S. Rep. Charlie Norwood, who died earlier this year after a battle with cancer. Norwood's 10th Congressional District includes Jackson County.

On Monday, the Albuquerque Police Officers Association is deciding on a new contract that includes a 5-percent pay raise for APD officers.
Voting is underway at all APD substations until 5 p.m.
The pay raise item was pushed through the city council back in May.
Last September, the state Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the union over a pay raise dispute with the city. The court said Mayor Richard Berry wrongfully cut officers' raises in 2010 because he violated their contract. Police officers and other city employees saw their salaries cut 2.4 percent.
Earlier this year, union members rejected a contract that would have given them about $1,200 more per year.
Mayor Richard Berry wanted a 4 percent raise for officers in his proposed budget.

Yes I know that this kind of questions have been asked before in the following links: Question 1, Question 2 and Question 3. But my question is quite different from already asked questions.
What I want is following: I have two draggable divs and have a connector (a straight line) between them (drawn with SVG line). When I move these draggable divs I need to move a connector between them accordingly. My question is more similar to the Question 3, but there in that question, once a user creates a connection between divs those divs stop being draggable, so they don't care about refreshing connectors.
Has anybody ever met any working example or demo of what I am saying? Or, could anybody give me any ideas of how to do that in an optimal way please?
Just in case, I am using jQuery as a javascript framework (if it worth to know that).
Thanks a lot.
I have found this demo also, but it works very very bad, I would say incorrectly.

Qin Heavy Raptor
The Qin Heavy Raptor is a Brigadier General (Tier 5) level Klingon Raptor. The Heavy Raptor is the most powerful available to players of the Klingon Empire.
Qin class[edit]Andorian Kumari Escorts due to the design of the wings, as well as the forward hull being dwarfed by the forward command module.
Birok class[edit]
With its ability to mount Dual Cannons, 3 Tactical Bridge Officer stations (at Ensign, Lt Commander and Commander level), significant focus on weapon power and its cloaking ability, the Heavy Raptor has the most destructive potential of all ships in Klingon Defense Force.
Compared to Federation ships, the Qin is most similar to the Tactical Escort Retrofit. The Qin is the larger vessel, with a slightly stronger hull and a much higher crew complement, but has slightly weaker shields and Turn Rate in comparison.
Standard Configuration[edit]
Klingon starships come with standard equipment and weapons of the lowest mark available at the ship's minimum rank. The items provided are appropriate to the type of vessel and its related playing style.
Fore Weapons
Aft Weapons
Most Klingon vessels are equipped with a cloaking device. This can only be activated while not at Red Alert, but gives a 15% damage bonus when decloaking.

Centralize petitions to Congress and the President
I worked as an intern in the House of Representatives and what astonished me the most was the outdated system we use for alerting representatives to the problems faced by the American people. Every day, each member of Congress receives hundreds of letters, some through e-mail, some handwritten, asking for a response to a very small number of issues. Most of these issues demand collaboration between many members of Congress. Wouldn't it be more efficient for citizens to demand change collectively, through the Internet? The British government already has a website like this at http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/. There, the Prime Minister can respond to petitions voted on by thousands of people. Obama has already done something like this by soliciting questions for his open dialogues--why not expand this tool to all of government?

Free Obama (No Kidding)

Make the President and Congress live like we do
We the people demand single payer universal health care S 703 get enacted into law.
Audit the FED
I agree with you. There are several positive outcomes of making letters/petitions to Congress and the President easy and transparent.
(1) Public participation - engagement.
(2) Many in Congress have tried to make it harder to use the Internet to deliver input. Because the incoming information is not unified, it is very challenging for aids to effectively deal with the shear amount if information coming in.
(3) Efficiency -- Congress and the President could more easily leverage the web-based system and the information submitted online to communicate with one another. They could more easily share this information with one another.
How would you control "cheaters?" People who would vote more than once, maybe millions of times?
I like this idea because currently to inform my senators of my choice on any issue I have to fill out three different online forms, not even a standard form as of last fall.
To avoid "cheating" a verified online voters account should be created. I trust my money to such access why not my democracy. Complicity is the power of the entrenched. Keep it simple.
I like this idea. I would add, however, that the location must be well known, and easily locatable. President Obama did a good job informing everyone about change.gov between election day and inaugeration day. I would suggest that this proposed idea would need to be well advertised, and not "hidden". A top level domain would be ok. For example, "www.petitions.gov" would be ok... It would be counterproductive to have it be "www.something.gov/somethingelse/~somename/somesenatorsname/petitions.html"...
Right. A good way to do this would be to create national E-initiative, referendum and recall and give the voters the option of voting either online or by conventional ballot. 23 US states already have I&R and many other countries. The US needs to catch up if it is serious about open and transparent government. Furthermore, E-I&R would be very useful in hastening economic recovery, promoting world peace and creating a sustainable environment.

I do like this idea, but realiize that not everyone has access to the Internet or is sophisticated about using it. Unlike a previous commentator, I do not trust my money to the Internet and do no financial transactions by computer (aside from some credit-card purchases on well-verified sites), but never online banking or investment transactions—too dangerous, IMHO.
Also, I like personal access to my representative; he or she is the person that was elected by MY district, not the nation.
On the other hand, I realize that an OPTIONAL streamlining porcess can help; just don't want us to go overboard and limit what little personal access the average citizen has—the lobbyists already have more than their fair share.
I just want to say to those who are not computer literate that most libraries have internet access and usually help those who need help in understanding how to get online. Maybe all libraries should receive funding to upgrade and widen their computer labs, and classes?
Aren't there already petition systems online? How would this be different? Couldn't the politician's just declare that they will review and respond to petitions from their favorite petition site?
public participation is key , the current system is pressured to change from the very old to what people need now,our lawmakers only voice what they can take in as being the most important issues ,perhaps looking at how outdated this infrustruture is now and public pressure to change these old methods that simply do not work
Yeah, in Germany they have a such a platform as well (copied it from the scots) - it is called "online-petition" and works terrific!
I disagree with this. By creating a 'protocol' for petitioning our government, we thereby restrict our 1st Amendment right to the "... right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
We don't need more rules restricting our 1st Amendment rights!
And then, what? Petitions from other avenues would not be accepted or read? What if the government site started rejecting whole categories of demands? Good-sounding, bad idea.
There are sites for this already, but since your idea is (presumably)in addition to, not in replacement of, those sites, so that individuals wouldn't have to opt-in to be heard, this idea could really work.
The complexities of business and invention need not be compromised in supporting standard portal connections. The ability to connect to the rest of the world and access the strength of community the web has to offer is vital for all humanity to compete in future learning environments. The fundamental secure portal that this writing refers to is a high level secure portal connection, the device offers the user the immediate ability to connect and transmit or receive data on the move. It unifies what is technically possible and marketable into a single device. Vital statistics would be monitored and available to the user for analysis. Applications that enhance the user in interactions with the community at large offer advantages that right now while available, are weakened in usefulness by fragmented and independent design. The trends in communications design and embedded applications have made rapid acceptance in society. The convergence with green power generation from the user coupled with embedded applications that provide enhancements for connectivity would also assist in societies efforts to reign in cybercrime. A standard portal device will offer encryption levels that are hack proof and will be designed to ensure user privacy. A citizen standard connection portal, in the spirit of transparency the strength in the adoption lies in the societal acceptance. When all citizens have the power of connectivity to participate in the strength of community, opportunity for enhanced learning becomes more powerful as well.
The costs of governance have the potential for drastic reduction. By merely giving every person in America immediate connectivity no matter where they are in the world reduces the infrastructure costs of providing the services of government and society as a whole. By giving this level of possibility to all Americans the strength of what it means to participate in building success will become immediately apparent. The design of this device through peer review across the population's diverse spectrum of scientists', business leaders, social network professionals and government agencies, along with the public at large will give 21st century clout to the protection offered within the constitution.
Cyber security will be made highly affordable to implement as the standard would have the largest audience not only in its creation but as well in its deployment. Once deployed the increased connectivity to efficiently deliver the services primarily of government but of all aspects of societal interactions, will be the 21st century platform for all cumulative societal efforts engaged in national and global prosperity.
Wireless connectivity offers the most efficient transition to full participatory access for all Americans.
This is a very good suggestion. The Downing Street petition system is a well-known example, but as pointed out above, was actually inspired by the Scottish Parliament.
I've been researching and writing about the e-petition system in Europe, so if it helps, here is some more background information:
- Here's an interview with Professor MacIntosh who oversaw the implementation of this system in the Scottish parliament: http://is.gd/K0aG
- The Lower House of the German Parliament (the Bundestag) also has a similar system in place, also inspired from the Scottish example. They've actually set up a Committee especially for this "mediation" procedure.
- The House of Commons, in the UK, is in the process of implementing this system as well. Worth noting: 3 times a year, successful e-petitions would be subject to public debate on the floor of the House. Here's a link to the House of Commons' website describing in details the process under consideration: http://www.commonsleader.gov.uk/output/Page2536.asp
- In France, President Sarjozy also committed to implementing it, but nothing has happened so far.
@klingspoon.troy in english please. sounds like you're deconstructing an instruction manual!
@acerym This is a great idea!

Hi all. I'm new to this pumping thing. I just started back at work last week. I'm trying to figure out if I should order a few more sets of pump parts so I don't have to wash the parts each time after I pump. I pump in my office (just close the door) and I hate carting the parts to the kitchen to clean each time. It's just awkward to clean in there...plus time consuming. I've read somewhere before about just putting the parts in a bag and putting in the fridge ~ and then using the next time? Do any of you do this? I just want to be safe... Also - what do you put them in (container wise) to put in the fridge. I don't want to just put them in a zip lock because it will be see thru...kind of awkward sitting next to someones turkey sandwich in there (lol!).
What do you do? Wash each time? Store in fridge? Have extra pump parts? Any advice would be great. Trying to figure this out and I don't want to really order more parts because they are so expensive (I have Ameda pump) - but it's totally worth it if it's the safest and best way. Not to mention so much better for my baby!!!
Thank you

The U.S. Yukigassen Championship will take place today starting at 11 a.m. on the Delaney Park Strip at 10th Avenue and G Street.
Yukigassen -- Japanese for "snow battle" -- is a recently devised sport involving officiated snowball fights between organized teams. Each team has seven players and 90 pre-formed snowballs. They wear helmets and face masks and duck behind small barricades for protection. Players must leave the field when they are struck by a snowball from the opposing team or step out of bounds. A team wins a round when it captures a flag guarded by the opposing team or eliminates all the members of the opposing team.
To advance in the tournament, a team must win two of three rounds. Each round lasts 3 minutes. In Saturday's men's elimination competition, no round went past 2 minutes and 55 seconds. Some rounds ended within seconds as teams took advantage of their opponent's inattention to surge across the center line in a snowball-flinging banzai charge.
The tournament held in conjunction with the Anchorage Fur Rendezvous over the past eight days is the first such event sanctioned in the U.S. by the recently formed Yukigassen USA group. But competition also takes place in other countries, including Norway, Sweden, Holland, Australia, Canada and Japan, where it was invented.
Yukigassen USA organizer Carrie Ferguson of Penticton, British Columbia, who helped launch the sport in Canada, said she hopes to see the big league snowball brawl become an Olympic sport.
Thirty-two teams signed up to compete in this inaugural tournament. Winners of today's men's and coed competitions will represent the U.S. in the World Yukigassen Championships taking place in Japan next February.

The BJP core group met here on Wednesday to discuss the developments in Karnataka, where the party is facing a double onslaught — from Lokayukt Santosh Hegde and Governor H.R. Bhardwaj.
Mr. Bhardwaj is on record demanding "action" against illegal mining, leaving no one in doubt that he was referring to the ministers, G. Janardhana Reddy and G. Karunakara Reddy. Earlier, Mr. Hegde, who submitted a report on illegal mining to the government, also complained that no action was being taken and threatened to resign. Only after BJP president Nitin Gadkari and senior leader L.K. Advani spoke to him, did Mr. Hedge agree to continue in his job.
After the core committee meeting, general secretary Ananth Kumar blamed the Congress for "trying to destabilise the popular government" and charged Mr. Bhardwaj with indulging in activities beyond his constitutional role. However, the Congress machinations would not succeed, he said.
The committee tried to work out a strategy to stop Mr. Bhardwaj from carrying on with his campaign against "corruption" in the Yeddyurappa government. The party plans to come up with counter-allegations of wrongdoings and corruption against Mr. Bhardwaj during his tenure as Union Law Minister.
Sources in the BJP say both Mr. Kumar and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj do not want any action taken against the Reddy brothers. However Mr. Hegde and Mr. Bhardwaj have decided to continue with the battle against illegal mining.
Adding to the BJP's problems is that there is no love lost between the Chief Minister and the Reddy brothers. In November last, they almost brought down the government. It was saved only when the BJP leadership forced Mr. Yeddyurappa to yield to the demands made by the brothers — dropping of Rural Development Minister Shobha Karandlaje; moving out the Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister; reversal of transfers of officials in Bellary; and withdrawal of a tax on iron ore-laden trucks that directly impacted the mining business.

A Single Man is the twelfth studio album by British singer-songwriter Elton John, released in 1978. This is the first album where John would collaborate with Gary Osborne, who wrote the lyrics.
It is the first of John's albums to not feature longtime collaborators Bernie Taupin (lyricist) and Gus Dudgeon (producer). As Gary Osborne was an unknown at the time, many people misinterpreted the album's title to imply that John wrote the entire album himself. The only returning members of his band are percussionist Ray Cooper and guitarist Davey Johnstone; the latter only played on one song on the album. Paul Buckmaster would not appear on another Elton John album until Made in England.
Unlike previous compositions in which lyrics came first, John began writing melodies at a piano and an album unintentionally became of it.
This was John's first in which he started singing in a lower register.
The hit "Song for Guy" was a tribute to Guy Burchett, a young Rocket messenger who was killed in a motorcycle accident. The song was a near-global success, charting high everywhere except the US and Canada, where John's label, MCA Records, didn't feel that it had hit potential, due to the recent success of the instrumental "Music Box Dancer".
The songs "Return to Paradise" and "Song for Guy" are used in the 1980 film Oh! Heavenly Dog.
The photo for the front cover was taken in the Long Walk, which is part of Windsor Great Park in Berkshire. The inside cover shows John in a Jaguar XK140 FHC.
In the US, A Single Man was certified gold in October 1978 and platinum in November of the same year by the RIAA.
A Single Man was John's first album ever to be officially released in the former USSR, though his previous releases had been smuggled into the country in various forms. It was released following the success of his A Single Man in Concert shows in Moscow and Leningrad, though it differed in two ways from its release elsewhere. Firstly, the album was re-titled Poyot Elton John ["Elton John sings" in Russian]. Secondly, on some prints, both "Big Dipper" and "Part-Time Love" were removed, due to the subject matter of the songs. Curiously, John had performed "Part-Time Love" at the USSR shows without objection from Soviet officials.
Later releases[edit]
The 1998 reissue has five bonus tracks, the first two being the 1978 flop-single "Ego", and its B-side "Flinstone Boy". The next two tracks are the B-sides of "Part-Time Love" and "Song for Guy" ("I Cry at Night" and "Lovesick" respectively), and the last track, "Strangers", originally B-side of his 1979 disco-album title track, "Victim of Love". Some releases of his 1980 album, 21 at 33, also have "Strangers" as a bonus track.
Promotion and live performances[edit]
At the time of release, John performed some songs from the album on shows such as Bruce Forsyth's Big Night (performing "Part-Time Love"), Countdown (miming "Georgia" and "Madness"), The Old Grey Whistle Test (performing "Shooting Star" and "Song for Guy"), Parkinson (performing "Song for Guy"), Rockpop (miming "Return to Paradise" and "Part-Time Love") and Top of the Pops (miming "Part-Time Love" and performing "Song for Guy"). He performed two solo sets: one for MCA personnel at the Century Plaza Hotel on 14 October 1978 (performing "Shine on Through", "Return to Paradise" and "Song for Guy") and the other at a RTL studio on 20 October 1978 (performing "Part-Time Love", "Shooting Star" and "Song for Guy"). John's tour in 1979 included songs from the album ("Part-Time Love" and "Song for Guy").
Since that period, songs other than "Song for Guy" have not been performed.

Fantastic Family ExperiencePosted Aug 31, 2014
We loved our stay at Sooke Harbour Resort & Marina. The condo was modern, clean, tastefully decorated, and comfortable. Came with everything we needed including a BBQ on the deck. The staff was pleasant and very helpful providing a kit with everything we needed to know including dining recommendations & sight seeing opportunities. Our family of six stayed in a 2 bedroom sites and were quite comfortable. There is no daily housekeeping service though it is cleaned between guests & that worked for us. My only recommendation would be to provide guests with a package of coffee for each day of their stay rather than one for the entire time and having to pay for extras.

Grad reunion in townPosted Aug 28, 2014
The room was beautiful. Enjoyed the decks an view of harbour. Think check out is a little early, but made it work. Staff was professional and personable. We enjoyed our stay and wish we could afford to stay longer. Thanks for a great sleep!

Great stay in SookePosted Aug 12, 2014
The Sooke Harbour Resort & Marina was perfect for my family of five. Sooke has a "small town" feel with lots of great outdoor stuff to do. We hiked, whale watched, fished, etc. but were still close enough to go to Victoria and visit Butchart Gardens and the BC Museum. Be aware that the resort does not offer daily housekeeping, but the fully stocked units felt like "home". Tons of room for Mom, Dad and three college aged kids. No playgrounds, etc, for smaller kids and close to the marina, so be safety conscious.

Quite disappointedPosted Mar 28, 2014
The couch is old n not comfortable to sit in it. Bed sheets not all replaced, found blood stain on one of the sheet. Towel has stained in it, terrible experience for a first time visitor.
Comment from Hotel Management
Oct 4, 2014 by Nigel, Hotel Management
I spoke to the guests about this incident during their stay and apologised to them as it certainly does not reflect the high standards of the Resort. It is very important to us that all guests have as enjoyable a stay as possible and the vast majority of our reviews describe a positive guest experience . However that was clearly not the case this time and we have fully investigated and reviewed this very disappointing incident to make sure nothing like this takes place again. Once again I apologise to the guests and I appreciate them bringing this to my attention. Nigel Keatley General Manager Sooke Harbour Resort & Marina.

Nice hotel by the beach. The unit is spacious.Posted Sep 16, 2013
Pros: I like the location and the parking space. It was so close to sooke harbour house where we were attending a nephew's wedding. Good value.
Cons: The toilet and the bed sheets as mentioned above
Location: The marina is very handy, great for people to charter boat for fishing nearby. Spotted sea lions.
We stayed one night in a 3 bedroom / 3 bath 2 levels unit . It was perfect for me and my husband and my 2 daughters who brought their friends along. The unit was well maintained and relatively new. The only thing is you can hear from downstairs when you flush the toilet in the upstairs bathroom. Bed is very comfortable, but they should use less downy on the sheets.

Fishing HolidayPosted Aug 20, 2013
Pros: Accomodations on the waterfront.
Cons: None.
Location: Walking distance to Sooke.
Check-in fast and easy. Great accomdations. Our fishing charter was at the adjoining dock so we walked from our place to to boat every day. Enjoyed the view and outside balcony. Will certainly book again next time.

Nice for small familyPosted Jul 7, 2013
Pros: Location
Cons: Small bedroom downstairs
Location: Good
Room was clean. Nice view from our unit.No A/C so needed to keep doors open. Room got stuffy at night with doors closed. Downstairs room too small and no drawers in which to put clothes for a long stay. Awkward to put luggage on floor in closet and use luggage as drawers. Kitchen well stocked with tools and appliances. Washer and dryer worked well. Upstairs room well appointed with closet, drawers, and private bath.

Family tripPosted May 22, 2013
Overall I'm pleased with this hotel. Although it was too far out of my way. It said 28km away from the inner harbour but it failed to say it was a 50-minute drive each way on a narrow curving road.

Already Planning our Next Visit!Posted Jan 5, 2011
My two sisters and I had a perfect stay at this property in July 2010. We are already planning to return. The condo was spacious and well appointed. The staff could not have been more helpful or friendly. A great value for what is offered in terms of comfort, cleanliness, scenery, proximity to outdoor activities, etc.

Dr. Beach: NY's Southampton beach tops list
"It's wide, the sand is like baby powder," said Carol Gerbereux, a visitor for at least 40 years. "It's just a beautiful location; it has wonderful facilities and it's just a pleasure to come here."
Joseph Graygor, another longtime devotee, said litter is a no-no. "It's a very, very clean beach," he said. "There's no garbage on it." He also said a concession stand, showers, and other amenities are key assets at Coopers. "The parking area is very, very close to the beach. There are some beaches where you have to park a long ways away and walk a long way."
Village residents get access via a beach parking permit; those without permits face a $250 fine. But non-residents can also visit for a daily fee of $40 - it is the Hamptons, after all. Alcohol is banned, along with tents, bonfires and overnight camping.
Laura Masterson, a lifelong Southampton resident, noted that people thousands of miles away from Coopers Beach can visit via webcam. "It's a gorgeous place to be," she said as she settled into a beach chair. "We were just in Florida. We've been to Puerto Rico and Bermuda and you can't find beaches as beautiful as this."
Separate from the top 10 list, this year Leatherman launched a project called the National Healthy Beaches Campaign. Campaign member beaches pay $800 a year to be evaluated monthly on 60 self-reported criteria and receive advice on maintaining environmental quality through "proactive management," Leatherman said. Some of this years top 10 winners were given free memberships in the Healthy Beaches Campaign after being selected as winners, he said, but he emphasized that beaches do not pay to be evaluated for the top 10 list and that he visits top 10 candidates incognito to collect sand and water samples for study.

You can only lose the low hand if you get counterfeit (when a low card hits the board that also pairs one of your low cards), so that you don't hold the nut low on the river anymore. If there is a low hand possible, and no A or 2 on the board, you always have the nut low. At worst, you will split the low pot if someone else also has a A2XX hand. With that ...
If one is a hold em player, after playing Omaha as a serious student for a time you will notice that with starting hands you will be playing less hands than in Holdem, and if you are playing 8 or better you will be playing even less hands then in Omaha high. Omaha is a drawing game. It is rare for pocket pairs to win straight out at showdown. Big pairs ...
Example: You have A2, villain has A3. Board is: 24567. That gives you a low: A2456 Gives villain low: A2345 Basically, whenever one of your cards pairs, you might be in danger.
A2 will be nut low when: There are 3 or more different cards 8 of below on the board. None of those three board cards is an A or 2. It might still be nut low in other cases, for example where either the A or the 2 completes a wheel with 4 board cards.

From the article: Find Music Distribution
Online music distribution has changed the music industry, but which digital distributors are the best for musicians and labels? Weigh in here with your picks for best digital music distribution sites. Which sites pay the most? Which sites don't pay when they say they will? Let your fellow musicians know about the digital distribution sites thay have given you the best results.
Largest global distributor
- Hello, MondoTunes is the largest global distributor that is ran by musicians for musicians. They reach over 750 retailers, mobile partners, and streaming companies (others reach 17-20 stores) They're the go to distributor for artists of all calibers. best part is they do not have monthly/yearly fees like all other independent distributors. checkout http://www.mondotunes.com Cheers
- —Barefootbride
PitchMyStuff.com (Highly Recommended)
- OK so I've read all the above posts and can't believe no one has mentioned these guys! PitchMyStuff.com have a really good Digital Distribution service and they also do lots of other things too like Music Copyright and stuff. I've just distributed my second album through them recently (my first wasn't with them) and so far am very happy with PitchMyStuff Service and the site as a whole! Here's what I know, they offer over 400 online retailers (biggest I've seen yet!) for only $30 a year including all iTunes, eMusic, Zune, you know the usual peoples, AND they give all royalties they receive back to the artist which in my eyes is exactly what I wanted, somebody who Isn't out there just to take our money or take a cut of our sales but offer a good deal to help us make money. Anyway I also didn't pay anything for the UPC so I think they were free which with my last distributor wasn't AND (unlike others which someone posted before) you get to KEEP ALL YOUR RIGHTS to your music. Sarah
- —Guest Sarah
Best Music Distributor
- I've used tunecore and cdbaby. both are limited as far as their reach. Tunecore also has yearly fees which they've increased. My band uses JMD Distribution and they far have been the best for us. I believe they're affiliated with major distribution some how so their reach is much larger and they don't charge us other BS fees. one time fee and you're good to go.
- —Guest Eddie T
Best Digital Music Distributors
- Tunecore & CD Baby for me are the best.I have tried a lot of others but some are miserable hungry distributors.
- —Guest Golden Boy (Fospassin)
Tunecore i
- I' ve tried Tunecore for over 2 years .They make you pay upfront to get your music distibuted for 12 months and if you don't sell enough to get that money back you still have to pay them again at the end of the year .
- —Guest fojeba
Tunecore... is... ehhhh
- I've heard some shady things about tunecore. You are guarenteed 100% of the sales however, that's for the people who do the legal paperwork. I know that when you pay for your album to be made, you are SELLING YOUR SONGS AND YOUR RIGHTS TO THOSE SONGS and GIVING THEM TO TUNECORE. So, I'd be careful about using that one.
- —Guest Sophia
Spectre music Germany is ok
- Spectre Music Germany is quite fair (30% commission), reliable and very quick at submitting your music to the stores (3-6 weeks). I have also tried musicjustmusic, Germany, but had lots of problems. The offer thousands of irrelavant stores just to catch you. They are also very slow, I found my music available on iTunes up to 7 months after uploading. Some of the music never turned up in the stores, a very bad and disappointing experience with musicjustmusic. I quit them, of course.
- —Guest GuestThompson
Have you seen Local Band on Demand?
- The newest kid on the block is www.localbandondemand.com. This platform allows bands to sell mp3 downloads online, but it organizes music geographically around a gig calender so musicians can build a strong local fan base.
- —Guest Music Girl
- No upfront fees, no monthly fees, keep 85% and set your own price. Large international community of visitors. Also has an unsigned artist online radio station to get your music played!
- —Guest Guest Even
Best Distribution
- I am really happy with HSM Entertainment, they are super helpful and they pay on time, I like that :)
- —Guest Marie
best music community
- whotune.com is the best new / Unsigned music community website on the planet! its got all the features of Facebook/Myspace PLUS alot more! you can sell your music directly from your profile. Its very cool. Check it out http://www.whotune.com
- —Guest karl
I like..
- I deal with Symphonic Distribution. Symphonicdistribution.com is their site, great staff and great services
- —Guest Steve Ward
OOiZiT.com seems good
- I know a band that have been helped out by these guys, they seem well happy with them. Even got a banner sent to them for free which is pretty sweet. Hope that helps.
- —Guest Will mills
Sell Your Own Music || OOiZiT.com
- OOiZiT.com is a brand way of distributing music, it's a social network designed especially for unsigned bands. It allows YOU (the band) to upload your music and sell it, right there on the site. You can create play lists and embed them on your own website or blog and 100% of the profits from the sales goes into your back pocket! Not only that but all sales through OOiZiT.com are counted towards the UK Top 40! Imagine - getting to number 1 without ever having to sign a record deal! It's completely free to join and you can upload your music in seconds! So if you're an unsigned band - I highly recommend giving it a go. Don't sell your soul to get a record deal, sell YOUR music the way YOU want it to sound and put the money in YOUR bank account - not the greedy record labels.
- —Guest Shelly
- TuneCore works for me. I only use them and I never have problems.

All the difference...
Get a bronze brush. It makes all the difference. I brush my skis before I wax ( after I clean them), and you wouldn't believe how much extra glop comes out compared to using a nylon brush. I don't race, but am always breezin' by my buds on traverses and flats. The beauty of a good tune is realized when you are pillaging the 15" of new while your friends are 50 feet behind poling on traverses.

Heel pain may point to cholesterol trouble
By Megan Rauscher
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – A painful Achilles tendon could
be a sign of an inherited tendency to have high cholesterol,
which carries a high risk of early heart disease, UK
researchers say.
Wider recognition of the link between Achilles tendon pain
and so-called "heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia" —
or HeFH — could lead to earlier diagnosis of this disorder,
the team reports in the Annals of Rheumatic Disease.
In comments to Reuters Health, principal investigator Dr.
Paul N. Durrington from the Manchester Royal Infirmary noted
that HeFH is "the most common genetic disorder in Europe and
the USA affecting 1 in 500 people."
He explained that it is due to a mutation of a gene
controlling removal of cholesterol from the blood circulation.
"Levels of cholesterol are doubled from birth and untreated it
leads to coronary heart disease early in life. Early diagnosis
and treatment is thus important."
One feature of untreated HeFH is that cholesterol is
deposited not only in the arteries but also at certain sites in
tendons. This may lead to swelling and painful inflammation of
the Achilles tendon.
Durrington and his colleagues determined the occurrence of
Achilles tendon pain prior to diagnosis of HeFH in 133
patients, compared with the rate in 87 of their domestic
Sixty-two patients with HeFH (47 percent) had experienced
at least one episode of pain in one or both Achilles tendons
lasting more than three days, compared with only six of the
partners (7 percent).
"Our study suggests that Achilles tendon pain lasting 3
days or more is 6.75 times more likely to occur in patients
with HeFH than in the general population," the authors note.
"We discovered that patients with HeFH frequently seek
medical advice about Achilles (inflammation) many years before
they are found to have raised cholesterol," Durrington said.
He advised that anybody seeing a doctor because of a
painful Achilles tendon should have his or her cholesterol

|2 Tablespoon
|Seasoned salt

|Chopped mushrooms
|1 Can (10 oz)
|3 Large (Each Cut In 6 Slices)
|Hamburger buns
|3 Large, split
Saute bacon just until crisp in a large frying pan; drain on paper toweling, then crumble.

Shake livers with flour and seasoned salt in a paper bag to coat.
Brown slowly in drippings in frying pan; stir in mushrooms and liquid.
Heat, stirring constantly, to boiling; cover.

Top each with another tomato slice; sprinkle with crumbled bacon.
Garnish with parsley, if you wish.

Hi Guys, If you could help me find a small template for a store locator I need for one of my client. I just need a single page template where there can be a list of City and Area and Details. After selecting the area some details should pop up about where the store is exactly located. Have you seen anything like this on TF? I hope someone know some sort of template. I don't know what it's called so I am not able to find one.
Not sure if you can find it here on TF but look on Codecanyon. There are plenty of scripts (js, jquery or php) that can be imbedded in any template.http://codecanyon.net/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&term=store+locator http://themeforest.net/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&term=store+locator
