31 year old woman | Roseville, CA, USA | Seeking men 27-37 within 300 miles
Looking for a great guy!
Hi! I am Megan, I am a really fun loving, outgoing and friendly girl. I love to laugh and I think the most important thing in a person is the ability to laugh; at life, at themselves, everything. I am a really giving person and when I care about someone, I will honestly do anything for them. My friends and my family mean so much to me and I have a twin brother, who is my best friend. I have a Bachelor's from UNLV in Hotel Management. I am really active and I love to run. I have run a couple marathons, so it would be great to have someone who likes to do the same but definitely not a requirement. What I am looking for in a man, is someone who is able to enjoy life as much as I do and loves to try new things. I am pretty much up for anything and I definitely want that fearlessness in another. I am looking for someone who is really family oriented and a people person. I get along with pretty much anybody and like to spend time with people, so my other half would have to be up for that. I am looking for someone who is genuinely kind and who cares about others. I want to be able to call my man my best friend and for him to be someone I can turn to and someone who just "gets" me. I want someone to share my life with. I am not necessarily looking for someone to "complete" me but I am looking for a guy that makes my world better and adds to my happiness. I feel like I would bring a lot of laughter, excitement and devotion to a serious relationship and hope to find someone who adds that to my life as well. If you are looking for love and a best friend all in one, please don't hesitate to contact me. :)

Salads are nice, but burgers are what really sell
NEW YORK Americans talk skinny but eat fat.
No matter that First Lady Michelle Obama has been on a crusade for a year and a half to slim down the country. Never mind that some restaurants have started listing calories on their menus. Forget even that we keep saying we want to eat healthy. When Americans eat out, we order burgers and fries anyway.
"If I wanted something healthy, I would not even stop in at McDonald's," says Jonathan Ryfiak, 24, a New York trapeze instructor who watches his diet at home but orders comfort foods like chicken nuggets and fries when he hits a fast-food joint.
In a country where more than two-thirds of the population is overweight or obese, food choices are often made on impulse, not intellect. So, while 47 percent of Americans say they'd like restaurants to offer healthier items like salads and baked potatoes, only 23 percent tend to order those foods, according to a survey last year by food research firm Technomic.
That explains the popularity of KFC's Double Down, a sandwich of bacon and cheese slapped between two slabs of fried chicken. It's the reason IHOP offers a Simple & Fit menu with yogurt and fruit bowls, but its top seller remains a 1,180-calorie breakfast sampler of eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, hash browns and pancakes. It's also why only 11 percent of parents ordered apple slices as an alternative to fries in McDonald's Happy Meals.
The mixed message hasn't stopped many restaurants from offering healthier fare. After all, the government has stepped up its oversight - and influence - over the industry that it blames for America's expanding waistline. National rules about putting calorie information on menus are expected to take effect next year. And Mrs. Obama touts restaurants and companies that slash calories in foods.
But revamping a menu can be difficult and expensive, requiring months or even years. For example, it took Dunkin' Donuts four years to figure out how to make its doughnuts without trans fat - which doctors say is one of the unhealthiest types of fat - without altering the taste.
And efforts to curb unhealthy eating aren't always fruitful. In 2009, a year after New York made chains start listing calories on menus, only 15 percent of diners ordered lower-calorie foods, according to a study in the British Medical Journal.
As a result, many chains have scaled back their efforts to roll out healthy foods. The number of health-related claims made on menus, like reduced fat or reduced carbs, fell 5 percent from 2008 to 2010, according to Technomic's study of more than 1,200 restaurant chains.
Most restaurants won't share specifics about how their salads and veggie omelets compete when they're up against burgers and crepes. But the healthy stuff appears to be only a small proportion of revenue at most chains.
The IHOP pancake house, owned by DineEquity Inc., says that Simple & Fit sales have roughly doubled in the year since the menu was introduced. But it still makes up only a single-digit percentage of revenue.

I followed your guide to the T and installed the gamma backup loader channel.
The first time I booted the game with gamma launcher it loaded to the title screen but I got a disc read error, which was what I thought would happen since I used a crappy DVD-R, the second time...and everytime after that I've gotten the DSI error memory dump screen after about 10 seconds.
Am I missing something somewhere? In the process of burning Twilight Princess right now, could it be the Madworld ISO? Did I not install an IOS from somewhere else that should be installed?
I am on 3.2u firmware if it helps...
EDIT: So I got my burned copy of Twilight Princess to work just fine, it ownt load from the disc channel, but it loads from the backup loader. Is there anything I can do to make it load from the disc channel? Anyways, im gonna burn another copy of madworld and see what happens. Post back here with results.
EDIT 2: Got everything to work, even updated my backup loader with the 002 fix so now Madworld works fine 51% of the time because of my horrible DVD-R's, once I get more new sony ones I should be good to go! Thanks for the Guide~!

Tsunami Response Training for Businesses is now available from the International Tsunami Information Center (ITIC). A Training Manual based on best practices and including tsunami response standard operating procedures templates is available as part of a 0.5-day course taught by the ITIC and its partners.
In 2012, the ITIC received a request from Juan Camacho of the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) – Homeland Security & Emergency Management (HSEM) to create a training workshop that better prepares coastal businesses and hotels to respond to tsunami hazards. The workshop provides guidance to businesses on how to protect the safety of their employees, customers, and business operations. The ITIC staff (including Dr. Laura Kong, Brian Yanagi, and Nicolás Arcos) researched, created, and delivered "Tsunami Response Workshop for Businesses" pilots in CNMI and Guam in September 2013, with assistance from the Weather Forecast Office (WFO) Guam. The course was again delivered in Guam in 2014.

Group says EDSA celebration this year marred by Aquino's support of online libel
More News from Kristine Angeli Sabillo
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines – Every year, Filipinos commemorate the historic Edsa People Power, reliving the nation's fight for freedom, democracy and unity.
This year's anniversary of Edsa I, however, "will be marked with such great irony," said Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) secretary general Renato Reyes on Sunday.
He said President Benigno Aquino III's support for the online libel provision in the Cybercrime Protection Act, as well as his appointment of a former police official to the martial law compensation board, had ruined the celebration.
"Both instances are betrayals of what the people stood for in Edsa- freedom and justice. Both instances show the disconnect between Edsa and Aquino, how the latter has become the anti-thesis to people power," Reyes said in a statement.
The spokesperson said Aquino only "succeeded in highlighting the unfulfilled promises of Edsa" with many things remaining the same or even worsening under his administration.
"Edsa, however, also reminds us that true power lies with the people, and that they must use this power in the face of oppression," Reyes added.
Last week, Aquino defended the online libel provision of the cybercrime law after it was upheld by the Supreme Court.
"Will it hinder freedom of expression? I think that's not the aim," he said.
Malacañang also asked critics to give former Philippine National Police (PNP) Director Lina Sarmiento a chance to serve as head of the Human Rights Victims' Claims Board, which is tasked to oversee the distribution of P10-billion compensation for martial law victims.

"We've dedicated the whole property in honor of Raymond and Ina Althof, lifetime Plowboy fans," said Max.

The Sweetwater ISD (Independent School District) Board of Trustees met for their meeting on Monday night, in which approval was given for an early release day on Wednesday, December 4.
The purpose of the shortened class day is due to the fact that the district will be hosting the junior high UIL (University Interscholastic League) academic meet, as they did last year. This year, Big Spring will be hosting the high school and elementary meets, while Snyder will host the one-act play competition.
Royce Porter will return to Sweetwater this weekend during Homecoming. Porter will attend several events involving the Sweetwater/Newman High School All Class Reunion including an event after the football game on Friday at the Texas Theatre, hosted by Randy and Jolanda Hendricks. He is also expected to attend the 3 p.m. to midnight event at the WASP Museum and is looking for any of his students he taught and invites them to attend with guitar in hand. Porter is also expected to be the Homecoming parade marshal and will be given a key to the city this weekend.
Today, we have a 60% chance of showers and possibly a thunderstorm, with some of the storms possibly producing heavy rain. Expect cloudy skies with a high near 83 and southeast winds at 10 to 15 mph.
Those rain chances continue throughout the evening, with cloudy conditions in the area and a low around 69. Winds will be from the southeast at 5 to 10 mph.
Will Homecoming weekend have the same type of weather? Get a preview now at weather.gov.

Sometimes it's the pure fun of asking the question that creates something new: what if we put a little Cabernet in the Sangiovese? What if we took the Zinfandel out of the Sangiovese and let it stand on its own? Sometimes it's just being open to what a vineyard or a block or a clone shows us in a particular vintage. Whatever the impulse, the result is a unique bottling especially for you, direct from our cellar. Some of these wines are available for purchase online, and others are only sold in limited quantities in our tasting room or through our wine club.

I couldn't unscrew the leveling foot because it was rusted and corroded. The bracket holding it was easy to remove so I took the bracket with the corroded foot off and replaced it with the new foot and bracket. Very simple. I made sure I oiled it so it wouldn't rust again.

Luna Bar, Kuala Lumpur
6 Reviews
6 Reviews
one of my first impressions of Malaysia was not the youth hostel, but the bar we were taken to. When we arrived after a 12:35 hrs flight, we just had some time to shower and change into new clothes before starting our first night out. Leila and Belle, two Malayan girls my travel companion knew for a long time from Germany, took us out on a night to the Luna Bar. And what a good choice they made for out first impression of KL! The place is located on top of the PanGlobal building and gives you a stunning good look over the city. Maybe the only disadvantage is has it that it is located in such and angle that you are only able to see one of the two Petronas Towers. The music played in this club includes all kind of international dance numbers as well as some which are only popular in the far east.
There is an entry fee of 50 RM (2010) which includes a free drink. The Luna Bar is equipped with a pool (which is closed before most of the visitors come in). Try to get one of the niches with glass front for best view. An even better view is available from the bar on the balcony which gives you a glass barrier – free view over KL.
Dress Code: Dresscodes do not apply, but they may deny access, if you stand out of the crowd in a negative way. Anyway, they did even let me in, so the hurdle is pretty low.
The Luna is a great rooftop bar with a great nightview over KL. What can be better than a cold beer or cocktail with nice tunes and a view to the Petronas Towers on the one side and the Menara KL Tower on the other side? It is located on the 34th floor rooftop of the Pan Global Building and owned by the Pacific Regency Hotel. The centrally located pool completes the scenery and while you usually never talk about the restrooms, man did I enjoy the incredible view from the toilet while.....well, lets say I just reliefed myself from another beer while watching the beautiful city panorama at the same time ;-)
If you want to chill out with a great view on KL, the Luna Bar is the perfect place.
This top floor, pool side, lounge bar is my favorite in KL to have a drink and relax at night.
Drinks start from 20 RM. Possibility to eat but the food is not that great. Entrance is free except on Friday and Saturday night (50 RM with a drink).
Dress Code: No shorts and no slippers for men at night.
A must do is the Luna Bar which seems to be a well kept local secret. On the roof top of the Pacific Regency Hotel, the lounge is has two levels and offers one of the best views of the city. The open air poolside lounge offers great seating with plate glass windows and breath taking vistas while the upper level lets you look down on the pool as well as enjoy the breezes. Do also visit the rest rooms - for the decor if not for anything else. ....
Dress Code: Normal niteclub wear
Luna Bar is situated on the 34th floor of the Pan Pacific building which is hotel, private appartments and offices. The bar is situated around the pool with excellent views of the Petronas Towers, the KL Tower and the city centre.
They have alcoves surrounded by glass making the most of the views. Reservations are recommended on weekends and there is a service charge after 22.00. They have a food menu as well with pizza and various snacks.
As it centred around the pool, drinks are served in plastic glasses and unfortunately no swimming is allowed.
This is one of my favourite hand out places in KL, the other being Lecka Lecka, see other night life tip for more details :o)
Dress Code: No shorts or flip flops, this is urban chic :o)
Luna bar is located on the roof of the Pacific Regency Hotel
Dress Code: Fancy - collared shirt and nice jeans or pants. Black leather shoes for men, dress shoes/heels for women. No flipflops or torn denim.

Thermogenesis is the process of producing cellular energy in the form of heat' which can be triggered by a factor called mitochondrial uncoupling protein-1. Japanese scientists have recently discovered that a plant extract called fucoxanthin activates uncoupling protein-1 that signals fatty acids to generate energy rather than remain stored as body fat.
Derived from a species of Japanese brown seaweed' fucoxanthin provides a unique solution for safely boosting cellular metabolism.
Unlike many "fat burners" that stimulate the central nervous system to promote weight loss' fucoxanthin works directly in fat cells. By targeting energy distribution at the mitochondrial level' this non-stimulatory action provides aging humans with an important new mechanism of action to achieve successful long-term weight management.
Scientists have found that the weight loss benefits of fucoxanthin are enhanced by combining it with pomegranate seed oil. The active ingredient in pomegranate oil (punicic acid) reduces blood supply to fat cells and prevents them from increasing in size.

State had referred industrial dispute to tribunal
CHENNAI: The Madras High Court has stayed most of the conditions imposed by the State Government while referring an industrial dispute at the Coimbatore-based Pricol to a tribunal for adjudication.
Justice R. Sudhakar, vacation judge, stayed the operation of four of the five conditions imposed by the Labour and Employment Secretary, after senior counsel A.L. Somayaji submitted that the impugned order was passed without giving the Pricol management an opportunity to explain the circumstances.
The May 24 order said the management should not give effect to orders transferring six employees to a new plant in Uttaranchal and imposing break in service on 147 workers. It also sought to restrain the management from employing or continuing to employ other workers during the strike period and partial lockout.
While staying the operation of all these provisions of the impugned order, Mr. Justice Sudhakar did not interfere with the other clause under which workmen resuming work in Plant 1 and 3 after strike and lifting of lockout had to give individual undertakings stating that they would maintain discipline and good behaviour and continue to give normal production.

Shiv Sena, BJP's oldest and most natural ally in the NDA, is upset at the Modi government for giving it only one ministerial berth – party MP Anant Geete was included in the cabinet on Monday.
However, the Sena hopes that more men from the party will be inducted in the cabinet when its promised expansion takes place later.
Sena president Uddhav Thackeray laid days of speculations to rest by attending Modi's swearing-in, his umbrage to the presence of Pakistan's prime minister Nawaz Sharif notwithstanding.
However, speaking on condition of anonymity, Sena sources said they were miffed at what they claimed was an increasingly big-brother attitude by the BJP and lack of communication from its ally regarding cabinet formation.
In 1999, the Sena, which had 15 MPs, had three ministers, and the post of the Lok Sabha speaker. This time, with 18 MPs, the Sena wants a larger share, with at least four berths, especially in view of the state assembly polls due later this year. But Sena leaders fear that the BJP, which crossed the halfway mark, may be unwilling to yield.
Maharashtra has seen six leaders in the council of ministers with former deputy chief minister Gopinath Munde (Beed), former BJP chief Nitin Gadkari (Nagpur) and Geete being sworn in as cabinet ministers, while Raosaheb Danve Patil (Jalna), Piyush Goel, Prakash Jawadekar will be ministers of state.
Sources said names of many Sena MPs were doing the rounds for ministerial berths. Senior leader Manohar Joshi, a former chief minister of Maharashtra and ex-Lok Sabha speaker, is also said to be eager for a gubernatorial post.
"There was no communication from the BJP's end regarding cabinet formation,"rued a senior Sena leader, who admitted that they were concerned at a resurgent BJP under Modi trying to push them into the role of a junior partner in the saffron alliance.
He added that this was one of the reasons behind Uddhav's perceived reluctance to attend the swearing-in, the other being Sharif's presence. The Sena is opposed to sports and cultural ties with Pakistan on the grounds that it is sponsoring terrorism on Indian soil.
The Shiv Sena, which has a much broader political and social base as compared to the BJP, had always dominated the saffron alliance. However, BJP leaders are trying to corner the Sena in the run up to the assembly polls, and extract a larger share of winnable seats for a greater part of the power pie and the chief ministerial chair. The pitch may be queered further for the Sena as it lost its party supremo Bal Thackeray in 2012. BJP leaders admit that the Sena's presence enforces a natural restriction on the socio-political expansion of the party, which has an urban, middle class image.

In The Practicing Photographer, photographer and teacher Ben Long shares a weekly serving of photographic instruction and inspiration. Each installment focuses on a photographic shooting scenario, a piece of gear, or a software technique. Each installment concludes with a call to action designed to inspire you to pick up your camera (or your mouse or smartphone) to try the technique for yourself.
>> Hi, I'm Ben Long and this week, on the practicing photographer, we're going to look at an interesting way of getting very compelling wildlife photos. I'm sitting here right now with Carolyn Wright, an attorney who specializes in photographer's rights issues and copyright. But, Carolyn is also a fantastic wildlife photographer. Carolyn, I'm, we're looking at some of your images here. These wolves are incredible, and there's kind of a trick to how you got them. You aren't actually off in the wilderness with a bunch of wild wolves around you. >> No, I mean, first of all, once you're in the wilderness, you need to make sure that you're safe because, you're, you're entering into the wildlife domain.
And you also don't want to, impact their environment. I mean, a lot of animals will run away or leave their young, or if you're in that area. So, one, one way to do this is, especially with wolves, because if you go to Yellowstone, you're not supposed to get within like a 1,000 yards of a wolf, is to go to wolf refuges As we all know, unfortunately, wolves are being killed and they need to be protected and there are plenty of wolf refugees around the United States.
One in particular, this one I shot, the one we're looking at with the wolves on the ice lake, was shot in, in Indiana wolf refuge called Wolf Park. And it's a great place to photograph wolves. The wolves are very well taken care of there. They're happy, they're, they're protected and, and then, as a photographer, you can pay a little bit of money and go in and spend the day with the wolves and see how they interact with each other and, and, and just have a, a great time getting some great shots of wolves.
>> These are fantastic shots. How, how big an area is this refuge? >> Oh, it's huge, it's lots of acres, they give the wolves a lot of room to roam. But while they're being photographed, you're in a smaller area, probably the size of a football field. And the wolves are used to, to humans. And so this the other shot of, with this close-up shot of the wolf, I was probably only a few feet away. In fact some of the wolves that are a little tamer. I actually got to kneel down and one of them licked me on the cheek.
>> Wow. >> Which is a little scary because that wolf could crush my head. >> Right. >> In just a minute. But it was just wonderful access to these beautiful animals. >> So, are there designated areas in the park where you photograph, that, that you kind of stand a better chance of seeing a wolf or are you just freely moving? >> Well your in this area with the guides and they're making sure that your safety is, utmost important, and so they have the wolves in that area, and the wolves kind of wander around. They're, they're quite sociable.
And so they're interacting, the wolves are interacting with each other, or they're walking around. they, they also, the guides there, will, will take the wolves to different areas so that you get different sort of background shots of the wolves. >> Is this just you and the guides or is this a, a group of photographers? >> when, I've been there, yes, it's a, a group, a small group of photographers so that they can control the situation. >> Now, you've also shot in some bird refuges. >> yes. For example, the Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado.
They have a, a bird rehab center. So they, they teach the students how to rehab birds and, you know, the birds have been injured. >> These aren't drunk birds, these are birds that have been hurt somehow and need to be nursed back to health. And that will never go back into the wild. >> Well, if they can rehab the birds, then we don't get to photograph them. But for those birds, unfortunately, who have been injured so much or may have other diseases or neurological problems. For example, this photograph of this eagle at sunset.
This is a bald eagle who will never be able to be released back into the wild, because of a neurological problem. And therefore, they charge a little money to photograph the birds, but then you get some great bird shots of kestrels and eagles and owls and all, all, all different types of birds. It's a wonderful opportunity, and you are also helping to support this great organization that is rehabbing birds. >> Right. How, how long is that particular, or is the typical outing that you are doing? >> They will, will have a shoot in the morning and then take a break, and then take another shoot, and they'll bring out different birds at different times.
So that you get a, an opportunity to photograph the birds. It depends on how many photographers are there as to how many birds they might, might have, out at one time. But they, they try to put the birds into natural-looking places. Like, shooting the kestrel in the, the evergreen tree or the bard owl on the ground and they will do a great job of hiding the so that you can't see that they're maybe tied down. because the, some of the birds might try to get away while they're being rehabbed.
>> So, it sounds like the guides actually have a little bit of an eye for photography, they know what you might be looking for. >> They do an excellent job of setting up some wonderful, beautiful scenes for you for to have the photographic opportunities that it, it just, you just can't get that kind of opportunity in the wild. >> Yeah. Do these change seasonally? Do you get different animals at different times, or? >> Yes, in general you get different birds. They try to offer different birds, but because you only get to photograph the birds that can't be re-released to the wild.
Then it's birds that are, are still in captivity. >> Okay. If I wanted to find something like this in my area, what kind of things might I do a Google search for? How do I, how do I locate something like this? >> I'd look for the words refuge or photographic opportunities at a, a rehab center. In fact, where I live at Lake Tahoe, there's a wildlife center that rehabs animals for release and as a volunteer there, I've actually gone through the training to help the, help the animals. We get to bring our cameras and get to take pictures there. >> That's great, that's very exciting.
It also sounds like with the kind of access that you're getting here, you're not using extravagantly long lenses? >> No, you could actually use very short lenses an 80 to 200 lens would be perfect for this. >> A very typical lens, so you're not having to invest in a, in a really expensive piece of glass to be able to pull this off which is not something you get in the wild. Exactly and, and you don't have to hike for miles and miles to find the animals, either. >> Right, well that's great, Carolyn. Thank you very much. If you're interested in this type of shooting, do a little research. See what you can find in your area. Searching on the terms that Carolyn mentioned.
And also this volunteer opportunity is great. This is not just a chance to get some cool images. It's a chance to get to work with a really cool organization.

moreCombining intellectual and social history, Teresita Martinez-Vergne explores the processes by which people in the Dominican Republic began to hammer out a common sense of purpose and a modern national identity at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries.
Hoping to build a nation of hardworking, peaceful, voting citizens, the Dominican intelligentsia impressed on the rest of society a discourse of modernity based on secular education, private property, modern agricultural techniques, and an open political process. Black immigrants, bourgeois women, and working-class men and women in the capital city of Santo Domingo and in the booming sugar town of San Pedro de Macoris, however, formed their own surprisingly modern notions of citizenship in daily interactions with city officials.
Martinez-Vergne shows just how difficult it was to reconcile the lived realities of people of color, women, and the working poor with elite notions of citizenship, entitlement, and identity. She concludes that the urban setting, rather than defusing the impact of race, class, and gender within a collective sense of belonging, as intellectuals had envisioned, instead contributed to keeping these distinctions intact, thus limiting what could be considered Dominican. less

What is the standard way to support hassle free installer packages for a spring based web app. My target platform is Windows.
I need the user to be able to go to a webpage download a msi package/executable/zip file whatever is convenient. The installer checks if Java is installed and automatically installs Java for the operating system if not already there. Then it downloads the required files - spring based webapp, mysql database, tomcat from a preconfigured location and installs it in a directory that the user can choose.
I also want to create upgrade packages that will update only the required files in the installation directory.
I just don't want the user to go install mysql, tomcat, spring webapp separately.
Used XAMPP in the past with some .bat files. Anything better and more standard than that? I just cannot expect the user to install java and other dependencies separately. I can use jportable but would prefer something more standard from Java community.
Haven't used Java Web Start but is it worth exploring for my requirements?
Should I create a custom windows installer deployment using Visual Studio?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

FREE Jericho Quinn Adventure Thriller Novel
Many thanks to all the inmates who helped with reading/reviewing the first two Jericho Quinn novels.
The third, STATE OF EMERGENCY, is on the shelves, and the fourth will release in February.
Though they're mainstream Adventure/Thrillers, I try to weave in motorcycles and the riding culture the way Clive Cussler weaves scuba diving into his books. In doing so I rely heavily on help from other riders, including inmates here at ADVrider.
Ted Johnson was kind enough to answer a number of questions regarding his experiences at the Dakar. His awesome book, TALES FROM THE BIVOUAC--proved to be invaluable while I was working on STATE OF EMERGENCY.
So, here's the deal. My publisher sent me ten (10) copies to sign and send to the first ten who let me know they're interested on this thread.
I'll mail them to you at my expense.
In return, if you like the book, talk it up to your friends via Facebook, other threads, etc.
Much appreciated,
Count me in!
Interested. Sent you my info. Thanks. Looking forward to reading it.

Marc, I'm in for a good action read! PM sent. Thanks!
I'm interested if you didn't already get 10.
Marc, you were kind enough to send me an advance copy of your first book, and I bought the second. While it's not my usual genre, I thoroughly enjoyed them both. They're well written with great plots, taut and suspenseful, and I really enjoyed the characters. If you end up with a few more copies, I'd love one. Otherwise, I'll wait until February and pick one up. Great work!
Thanks for the kind words about the books. I'm sure I'll end up with an extra one of these so I can send you a copy. It's already on the shelves. The fourth book comes out in February. I'll do a giveaway promo on ADVrider for that one when I get the review copies.

Christchurch has a range of parks providing both recreational and ecological opportunities.
The Christchurch City Council works in conjunction with other organisations and the community to provide facilities for recreational purposes, and to enhance our environment. As these areas are restored they provide important habitat and food sources for our native wildlife.
We have wonderful parks with plenty of places for exploring, walking, cycling and picnics.
The coastline has much to offer both for recreational activities and for our wildlife.
We have wetland parks offering a number of easy walkways and viewing areas, with opportunities to see many bird species and plant communities.
The Port Hills are one of the best-loved landscapes of Christchurch. The tussock grasslands and rugged rock out-crops contrast with the flatness of the Canterbury Plains.
The Parks A-Z provides information about the parks maintained by the Christchurch City Council.

text: I know, just hammering home the point that you can do anything in game for basically free. As we've already seen in this thread it's easy to spend 300 gold or whatever on things that need'nt be that expensive. (And I did spend 144 gold on my backpiece but I like the way it looks. I'm a ranger I want some arrows!)

"The majority of the assault was spent just humiliating and demeaning and terrorizing me. I mean, it wasn't at all about anything to do with sex. Just devastation is what, how I felt."
Before leaving, as he had with Mills and his other victims, the attacker forced Kalmes-Gliege into the bathroom for a long soak to wash away the evidence.
"All I could think about was, 'I can't have someone call my family, my fiancé, my parents, my siblings and tell them that I have been killed six weeks before I get married,'" she said.
He left her alone, shaking in her tub and waiting hours until sunrise to flee.
Although she considered telling no one, she thought, "If I don't tell the police, this person is going to rape yet another person." So she called the cops.
Even through her trauma, Kalmes-Gliege had memorized details of her attacker, from his gait to the haunting eyes behind his mask.
"He had a very distinct way of walking," she said. "Kind of cumbersome. He had very distinct bright blue eyes. I knew I would be able to pick them out as soon as I saw that person."
Mills also remembered his eyes. "When you're staring into those eyes and that's the only thing you can see and the only thing you can focus on, they stick with you."
Detective Wheeler and his partner Matthew Dick realized this was a special kind of rapist; he was a stalker, a man seemingly obsessed with his victims who gathered intimate details about them.
"He's actually engaging in conversation rather than just the quick act of violence," Dick said. The victims described how he would talk almost lovingly to them, as if he was their boyfriend, before getting angry and violent.
And he knew how to cover his tracks. "It was very obvious to us that this was a sophisticated criminal and knew what he was doing," Dick said.
When the police turned to the FBI for help, they were told the rapist might be a seemingly model citizen.
"The one thing they did tell us that I'll never forget is that this would be some guy that everybody works with. They'll say, 'Naw. He couldn't do that. He wouldn't do that,' you know. And it'd be somebody that would be maybe a respected member of the community," Wheeler said.
The police had no prime suspect, until he stalked then 29-year-old Jonelle Galuska. She said she knew she was being watched, so when she was awoken one night by her startled dog, she immediately called the police.
At 1 a.m., Bloomington police officer Dave Zeamer arrived to find a man standing against the house, and in the glare of his flashlight, saw a man turn and walk away.
"I yell, 'Police. Stop, police!'" Zeamer said.
To his shock, he knew the man who turned around. It was one of his own ... fellow Bloomington police officer Jeff Pelo, his former supervisor.
Pelo was a 17-year veteran of the Bloomington police, a former policeman of the year and married father of three.
"You got that relief of, 'Oh, it's Pelo.' But then you are like, 'Wait a minute, it's Pelo. What's he doing out here?'" Zeamer said.
Once a trusted cop, now Pelo was a suspected serial rapist. "As soon as I heard that Jeff Pelo was stopped outside that house, that connection had been drawn in my mind," said Dick.
Mounting evidence revealed how Pelo may have used his police training and access to commit the crimes and cover his tracks.

Abreva Reviews
works wellI get cold sores and abreva helps most of the time. when it doesn't work, I use eucalyptus oil — 3 years, 8 months agograce.beauty27 | 1 reviews
GreatYears ago a pharmacist told me to get this over a prescription. I use it whenever I feel a tingle on my lips- only works at the first sign. — 3 years, 10 months agoBeautyrae | 22 reviews
Worth Every PennyI hate cold sores, but Abreva really works. It shortens healing time considerably and if you use as soon as you feel the "tingle" of a cold sore forming, it won't pop up. A little goes a long ways, so its a good value for the $14 asking price. — 3 years, 10 months agoWannabe | 85 reviews
AbrevaThis product is great a little pricey but when you find something that works you really dont care what it costs. — 4 years, 2 months agoAidenzmomma | 28 reviews
a miracleits expensive but it works every time and quick — 4 years, 5 months agobba3519 | 1 reviews
Dries up cold soresIf you put abreva on when you first feel the tingle of a cold sore coming on it will dry it up and clear up much faster than any other product I've ever tried. I like it. The only con would be the price but I have found coupons in the Sunday paper. — 4 years, 5 months agomary2511 | 5 reviews

Dissapointedmaybe i used it to late but it did not help me much with my cold sore i wanted it gone. It did not even speed up the healing process. — 4 years, 7 months agomeljefcol | 4 reviews
It does workIf you have had cold sores before, then you know that there's really no way to get rid of one once it starts. This product really does speed up the process of a cold sore. It does not sting or burn when applied like some other cold sore products. You don't need to put on very much at all (good thing, since it comes in such a small tube) for it to work. The first time I bought it, I thought it was kind of expensive. Now that I've used it, I think you get what you pay for with this product. — 4 years, 7 months agoDodette | 7 reviews

MANILA, Philippines—A private plane was missing after it was reported to have crashed Tuesday morning at a mountain village in Naval town, in the province of Biliran, the provincial information office said.
The still unidentified aircraft was seen to have crashed in the village of Imelda at around 7 a.m., the Bilirian information office said.
Authorities, however, have yet to find the ill-fated plane and they could not yet confirm the number of passengers onboard.
Naval Mayor Susan Parilla said in a statement that search and rescue operations were underway. Firefighters and emergency personnel equipped with ambulances were in the vicinity, she said.
Parilla called on aviation authorities to conduct an aerial survey to find the missing plane.

Ever since the world's first important stock exchange – a roofless courtyard in Amsterdam – began operations in 1611, this market more than any other has excited, ruined and made men rich beyond their wildest dreams. It has whetted the gambling instincts of so many people that De La Vega's epithet of the Amsterdam Stock Exchange in the sixteen eighties was "this gambling hell". He went on to say, "It is foolish to think that you can withdraw from the exchange after you have tasted the sweetness of the honey." This is why John Brooks in his book 'Business Adventures' called the market, "the daytime adventure serial of the well to do".
The market in India went into a tailspin with the economic downturn in 2008 and limped back slowly till very recently when, in anticipation of a new government, change and reforms it began an upward rush breaking hitherto highs and piecing through the 25000 veil in May this year. There is excitement, anticipation and hope. There are many who claim that before long the Sensex will cross a mind-blowing 40000.
The clarion call is to get onto the train before it is too late. Is that so?
The Indian equity market is without a doubt outshining its peers with a year to date growth of 14.7%. The growth in France is 5.2%; in the US 4.1%; in the United Kingdom 1.4% and there is a negative growth in China of 3.6% and in Japan of 10.2%.
The growth has really been from March, and this is directly as a consequence of foreign institutional investment. From investments of $125 million in January and $229 million in February, in anticipation of change, FII investment grew to $3297 million in March. In the next three months, a further $6.3 billion have been invested. The others who have pulled the market up are the high networth individuals and financial institutions. The retail investor is a net seller not buyer.
The index is based on perception. Never on what will happen. The perception is that the new government with new initiatives will grow this languishing economy.
It is important to look at some facts though.
Inflation is very high. Costs are spiralling upwards as never before. Even though there are intents of controlling inflation, it does not seem to be happening. The monsoon this year is not likely to be a good one. It is already delayed and it is not unlikely that it would be as good as those in the last two years. This can have a telling effect on agriculture. The trade deficit widened to $11.2 billion in May from $10.2 billion in April. The growth in GDP is likely to be around 5.4%.
On the positive, industrial production has recovered. Consumer Price Index (CPI) has eased to 8.3% in May from 8.6% in April, and food price inflation inched lower to 9.3% in May from 9.7% in April.
Given this scenario, I do not think that the retail investor should enter the market now. The election euphoria will diminish in the next few months. The government has several areas to focus on to revive growth.
Inflation is too high. This has to be brought down. The public distribution system has to be reformed. The infrastructure has to be improved. The government must also get to grips with governing the country and begin to be seen to be implementing the promises made and the assurances given at the time of the election. It is only when these things happen that the Sensex will continue its upward spiral.
Foreign institutional investment is transitory money. If another market begins to be perceived as one of growth the $9 billion that has been invested up to now this year would move which can send the market on a tailspin.
This is not the time to buy. This is the time to sell those shares that you are uncomfortable holding. Hold on to shares of good companies and wait. Wait until you see real improvements in the economy – rise in GDP, industrial production, exports and a fall in inflation.
Palat is managing director of Cortlandt Rand Consultancy and an author

The Lunt Solar Wedge produces partially polarized light. This 2" polarizing filter is threaded into the base of a 2" eyepiece or 2" prime focus camera adapter. By turning the eyepiece or camera adapter containing this polarizing filter in relation to the Solar Wedge body, the image brightness of the polarized light coming from the Solar Wedge will gradually be reduced to a comfortable level with larger aperture refractors.
This polarizing filter is intended primarily for visual use and must be used in conjunction with the existing internal Neutral Density (ND) filter within the Lunt Solar Wedge. A polarizing filter does not provide sufficient blocking by itself, nor is it able to block IR wavelengths as completely as the ND filter in the Solar Wedge. Also, the polarizing filter must be used in the eyepiece or camera adapter, never in the Solar Wedge's 2" nosepiece (ahead of the ND filter within the Solar Wedge). The polarizing filter must be located after the ND3.0 filter in the Solar Wedge to prevent damage to the delicate internal layers of the polarizing filter.
Plane/parallel optical glass, precision polished for optimum performance. Fits standard 2" eyepiece filter threads in eyepieces and 2" prime focus camera adapters.
