City of Canoas Adopts Public Safety and Security System With Cisco Technology
Cisco Solution for Public Safety and Security Will Enable Police Monitoring of Schools and Other Vulnerable Public Areas
Related Links
CANOAS, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, Feb 2, 2010 The city of Canoas, in Rio Grande do Sul, announces today the implementation of a video monitoring system that will start operating in the next several months. The city has chosen the Cisco® Video Surveillance Manager, an open architecture and interoperable security-management software solution that integrates audio and video in an Internet Protocol (IP)-based platform. The deployment will be conducted by Mersh, a Cisco Premier Certified Partner, which was selected in a public bid process.
The initiative is part of the Safer Canoas project developed by the Office of Integrated Management, composed of the military police, civil police, federal road traffic police and municipal guard. The main objectives are to reduce crime rates and enhance communication among police agencies, enabling them to act with more speed, synchronization and efficiency.
- By 2012, 120 cameras will be scattered around the greater metropolitan region of Porto Alegre. Initially, 27 of them will be placed on selected streets, 32 in public buildings, eight at Parque Eduardo Gomes and seven at City Park Getúlio Vargas. The images will be monitored by a central high-technology facility installed in a room at the municipality's Office of Integrated Management. Up to 30 terabytes of data can be stored.
- The open and interoperable architecture of the Cisco Video Surveillance Manager solution allows communication between cameras from different manufacturers.
- The investment in the initiative totals 3.8 million reals (about $2.1 million dollars). The funds will be provided by the city of Canoas, which will invest 2.8 million reals ($1.6 million), and by the federal government through National Public Security and Citizenship (Pronasci), which invested 700 million reals ($395 million). Pronasci aims to support projects that apply innovative technologies to combat crime.
Supporting Quotes:
- Alberto Kopittke, secretary of public security and citizenship of Canoas
- Amos Maidantchik, regional sales manager, Cisco Brazil
- Ribeiro Ricardo Aguilar, commercial director, Mersh
"Our main goals are to promote a sharp drop in crime rates and to deter drug use near schools. We want to have a greater flow of people in city parks and in other public areas."
"The Canoas initiative may be an inspiration for other Brazilian cities that already use technology to create an integrated public safety system among local, state and federal police agencies. In addition to the aim of bringing more peace and well-being to the city, video surveillance is expected to stimulate interest in technology and its uses in transforming public spaces."
"Mersh is pleased to participate in a project of public interest that also represents a promising business opportunity. The open architecture and interoperable surveillance technology adopted in Canoas meets the needs of flexibility and convergence of many companies and Brazilian governments."

Hovey leads local off-road charge in Baja 500
When it comes to the Tecate SCORE Baja 500, maximum horsepower does not always produce maximum results.
Just ask Chuck Hovey, a veteran off-road racer who has had his ups and downs on the treacherous course through the Baja California desert. Hovey, an Escondido resident, is one of numerous local entries in Saturday's Baja 500. He is coming off a big win after taking the overall championship at the Terrible's Town 250 held April 28 in Pahrump, Nev.
Driving a new Jimco buggy powered by a V-8 motor, Hovey won the Best in the Desert series event for his first victory since the Henderson's Terrible 400 in 2005.
"It felt great to win again, because we had been struggling lately," Hovey said Tuesday after returning home from Ensenada and pre-running the Baja 500 course. "Off-road racing runs in cycles. Sometimes you run on top for a while, sometimes you're nowhere near the front."
For the Baja 500, Hovey is leaving the V-8-powered Jimco in the garage.
"That car has really been running fast since we finished it in November," said Hovey, 38. "But we're taking the old car down to Baja with a smaller V-4. The V-8 is heavier, and it wears out parts faster."
Hovey noted that the differences between the Terrible's Town 250 course and the Baja 500 course are considerable.
"The Baja 500 is a very tight, technical course," said Hovey, an 1987 San Pasqual High graduate. "In Nevada you have big, wide-open desert. You just point it and shoot.
"But Baja has a lot of turns, rocks and hill climbs. The old car is lighter by 1,000 pounds, and although it has less horsepower, you can't use a lot of horsepower when you have a course with a lot of turns."
For his 10th Baja 500, Hovey will again be competing in Class 1 for Unlimited Buggies. His support team includes crew chief Jim Shannon and a host of volunteers.
"We keep trying, because there's just something about Baja," said Hovey, whose best finish in the Baja 500 was a third-place showing in 2003. "We had the lead, and we were battling with the (Troy) Herbst team when I had a flat tire 15 miles before the finish. When I went to fix the tire, I found out I had a broken jack. By the time we got going again, I was back in third place.
"Baja is really a tough race, and sometimes it seems that you just can't get a break."
As opposed to most of the drivers in his class, Hovey will be on a solo ride around the 420-mile Baja circuit.
"My car is a single-seater," Hovey said. "There are 53 cars in our class, but there are only a few of us driving single-seaters. Most of the other cars have GPS systems and co-drivers. I call myself a human GPS, and I don't like to rely too much on a co-driver."
As of Tuesday, 510 vehicles were entered in the 39th annual race, including 286 cars and trucks, and 224 motorcycles and ATVs. The event has the most former class winners ever in a SCORE race, with 102 competitors who have combined for 273 class wins.

Today's tight end doesn't just block, but then again, he doesn't just catch the ball either—and he has to be intelligent. The position has become a crucial one, especially in the NFL where sometimes the tight end is the quarterback's No. 1 target. Here's a group of tight ends that college coaches love:
J.P. Holtz, Shaler Area (Pittsburgh), 6-4/235. Holtz has plenty of college options. Boston College, Cincinnati, Michigan State, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Rutgers and West Virginia are among the schools pursuing him. He says he's not done with the process yet though. "They like my speed and athletic ability and they also like how I hit people and am tough on the field," Holtz told Sporting News. "I think it's an important position because you need to be able to block and catch the ball, and if you do, it can hurt defenses pretty bad."
Taylor McNamara, Westview (San Diego), 6-5/235. The great thing about McNamara is his upside. He has a frame that can handle a lot more weight and muscle, so he's only beginning to scratch the surface of his abilities — and the kid can catch and he's very intelligent.
The Pac-12 is all over the San Diego native — and the California schools are leading the charge. UCLA, USC, California and Stanford are some of the in-state schools after him, and national programs like Michigan, Florida State, Miami, Notre Dame and Ohio State want him, too.
He told Sporting News he's still wide open. "They like my toughness first, and then my ability to run and make plays and the ability to get dirty and block," McNamara said. "They have told me they love my receiving ability and the way I can create mismatches in the slot or from the three-point (stance). The position has become such a big part of the game because it's a position that can be used in so many different ways, making it hard to game plan for."
Justin Meredith, T.L. Hanna (Anderson, S.C.), 6-5/210. Meredith lives in Clemson's backyard, so it's not surprising that they are one of the schools he is seriously considering. He does consider himself wide open, but he told Sporting News that could change soon, as he plans to narrow things down in the summer. Auburn, LSU, Notre Dame, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia Tech are some of the other programs who hope to keep him away from Clemson. "They can put me on the line or split me out wide or put me in the backfield, that's what they like," Meredith said of the college coaches pursuing him. "I've put on right at 25 pounds this offseason, so they like that, too."
Ian Taubler, Bullard (Fresno, Calif.), 6-6/250. He's big, he's versatile (he could play defensive end, too) and he's intelligent — and he's attracted the attention of several Pac-12 coaches. Taubler could end up at Oregon State, UCLA or a multitude of other BCS programs. He may even end up at Yale, where his brother plays quarterback, for academic reasons. Wherever he goes, he'll be effective.
"Coaches say they love my explosiveness and quickness off the ball, my toughness and attitude in mixing it up with the big guys when blocking, but also having the speed to create mismatches past the line of scrimmage in the passing game," Taubler said. "They say I can play tight end or defensive end and that is also a benefit the recruiters like about me."
Taubler added that he may have his firm top three or top five in place by the end of June.
Colin Thompson, Archbishop Wood (Warminster, Pa.), 6-5/255. Thompson committed to Florida a few weeks ago. Alabama, North Carolina, Tennessee and Wisconsin were some of the other programs that wanted him, as did in-state programs Penn State and Pittsburgh. The Gators plucked one away from Penn State territory.
"They tell me they like my toughness, my leadership and my versatility," Thompson said. "They say I am a great blocker and I am a great receiver that has great ball skills and can run great routes, and I create mismatches all over the field in the passing game. I've been told that I'm a future starter for a BCS team because of my hard work, and ability to do so many different things on the field and off it."

Bela Fleck Brings Banjo's Roots to the State Theater
In 2005, banjoist Bela Fleck journeyed to several African countries including Tanzania, Mali, and the Gambia in search of the banjo's roots. The result was Throw Down Your Heart, a documentary about his travels that has been making the festival circuit for approximately the past year. More recently, the Throw Down Your Heart album was released in March as the third volume of Fleck's ambitious Tales From the Acoustic Planet series.
I had seen Throw Down Your Heart at the Silver Docs film festival last year and was utterly wowed by the music. However, I wondered if Fleck and the musicians from his "Africa Project," as he calls it, would be able to recapture the lightning-in-a-bottle quality of the live performances featured in the film. Last Thursday night it took me all of thirty seconds to find the answer to that question.
The show began with Fleck playing some African-inspired tunes on his banjo before he introduced two musicians from Tanzania, guitarist John Kitme and thumb pianist Anania Nogoglia.
Although "thumb piano" sounds like a euphemism for something dirty, it's actually a beautiful and melodious instrument in the hands of Nogoglia. He's like the Tanzanian Stevie Wonder, right down to his dazzling smile, sweet voice, and boatloads of charisma. The highlight of this set was when they and Fleck joined for "Kabibi," a song about an ex-girlfriend who apparently has a voice like a chicken. The audience was delighted by Nogoglia's humorous falsetto impersonations, but I was amazed by his sheer musical ability. The thumb piano is about the size of a cigar box with various metal tines attached: it sure ain't pretty, but he made it look effortless as he coaxed melodies out of the rustic looking instrument.
The concert's format was as follows: each artist would play a brief solo set before Fleck would join them on his banjo. While hearing each individual solo was a treat even for a world music newbie like me, the collaborations between Fleck and the Throw Down Your Heart musicians were simply incredible. Onstage, Fleck and the other musicians were not only able to recapture the energy that was so prominently displayed in the documentary, but even surpass it, much to the delight of the packed house.
Fiddle virtuoso/Sparrow Quartet bandmate Casey Driessen also dropped by to lend a hand as the musicians explored the connections between bluegrass and Madagascar traditional music; later, kora player (the kora is one of the banjo's ancestors, made from a large gourd and animal skin) Toumani Diabate and fingerstyle guitarist D'Gary also joined Fleck to stunning effect, while a percussionist played an evaporated milk can filled with broken glass. The resulting sound was a little bit like listening to a back porch jam session, albeit a jam session full of musicians from all over the globe with near unparalleled skill.
Washington D.C. is a bluegrass town at heart, so the large crowd was a given, especially considering Fleck's deity-like status among banjo players. I was expecting to be the youngest person there by several decades, but was pleasantly surprised by the number of 20-somethings who attended in spite of the $50 ticket price. But for nearly three hours of music—and the opportunity to witness dissolution of ethnic, national and musical boundaries—fifty bucks doesn't seem like such a big deal.

Sounds like it would be an incredible live experience. I'm a sucker for the banjo, but I'm mostly exposed to more traditional uses of it. I should rectify that.
Juli, you definitely have a taste for the eclectic. I have a couple of tracks by Bela on CDs I own and he's just too artsy-fartsy for simple ole me. Its like when Mark O'Connor or Sam Bush start to "jam"…
Bela does a lot of different things, Rick.
Rick, if you're not into world music, get the previous two Tales from the Acoustic Planet albums. Good bluegrassy stuff.
Leeann: check out the documentary trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDCxaQhhL0A. If that tickles your fancy, definitely pick up the album (Bela's shows are the only place you can get the DVD right now). Canadian jazz banjoist Jayme Stone also did a somewhat similar banjo/Africa project a year or two ago. Also a good album if you want to expand your banjo horizons even further.
"Rick, if you're not into world music, get the previous two Tales from the Acoustic Planet albums. Good bluegrassy stuff."
Well, er, um, emphasis on the "y" in "bluegrassy" there ;-). Bela doesn't play too much straightahead bluegrass, though he can; he tore up a couple of tunes when he sat in with us (the Tony Trischka Bluegrass Band, southern/midwest version) at the Station Inn at the end of February (pic here: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/photo.php?pid=2233729&id=647013893), and you can hear him on a different version of one of them, Steve Martin's "The Crow," here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBENuoVORJg).
Bluegrass-ish might be a better way to describe it? Clearly I need to work on better defining my suffixes…
After all, he learned at the feet of Tony Trischka, so he's gotta have that bluegrass sound in him somewhere underneath all that fancy jazzy Flecktone pickin' ;-)
Nice clip with Steve Martin…Triple Banjo Bluegrass Spectacular, perhaps?
Bluegrass-esque… ;-).
For the most straightahead of Bela's bluegrass on record, check out "Whitewater" from Drive (I think I mentioned this as a new bluegrass instrumental standard tune in the discussion of your Steve Martin review), as well as the Dreadful Snakes album.
Juli, you'll have to forgive me as being one of the unwashed masses when it comes to banjo music. One of my favorite banjo related songs is Ryan Shupe's "Banjo Boy" if that is any indication….(lol)

How do presidents lead? If presidential power is the power to persuade, why is there a lack of evidence of presidential persuasion? George Edwards, one of the leading scholars of the American presidency, skillfully uses this contradiction as a springboard to examine--and ultimately challenge--the dominant paradigm of presidential leadership. The Strategic President contends that presidents cannot create opportunities for change by persuading others to support their policies. Instead, successful presidents facilitate change by recognizing opportunities and fashioning strategies and tactics to exploit them.
Edwards considers three extraordinary presidents--Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Ronald Reagan--and shows that despite their considerable rhetorical skills, the public was unresponsive to their appeals for support. To achieve change, these leaders capitalized on existing public opinion. Edwards then explores the prospects for other presidents to do the same to advance their policies. Turning to Congress, he focuses first on the productive legislative periods of FDR, Lyndon Johnson, and Reagan, and finds that these presidents recognized especially favorable conditions for passing their agendas and effectively exploited these circumstances while they lasted. Edwards looks at presidents governing in less auspicious circumstances, and reveals that whatever successes these presidents enjoyed also resulted from the interplay of conditions and the presidents' skills at understanding and exploiting them.
The Strategic President revises the common assumptions of presidential scholarship and presents significant lessons for presidents' basic strategies of governance.

Pensacola, Florida Joins Best Halfway House Recovery Network, Providing Resources for Those Seeking to Further Their Recovery from Drug and Alcohol Addiction
Best Halfway House, a sober resource network that provides housing resources for those who have completed drug and alcohol addiction treatment, is extending its services into the Pensacola, Florida area.
West Palm Beach, FL (PRWEB) June 19, 2013
Best Halfway House is stretching its sober housing network into the Pensacola area, giving people a chance to keep on their road of recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.
Best Halfway House provides a menu of selections for sober houses for men and women.
The sober houses that Best Halfway House uses in their network need to meet certain criteria. They have to be clean and well maintained to even be considered. The houses must have structure and accountability measures in place. This ensures residents are on the right track in their recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. Some houses have pools and other nice amenities. All houses are located along public transportation lines and close to 12-step meeting locations.
Halfway houses are sober living environments where people in recovery can live in a drug-free environment with other people on the same life track. It is important to choose a good sober home as this sets a foundation for a good lifelong recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.
Equally important as a good place to live is what one does with their life in recovery. Best Halfway House can help with job placements and even assist residents to get back into school and complete their degree. It is even possible to go to extended care, also known as Intensive Outpatient Treatment, where residents are able to continue their drug treatment therapy after leaving a residential treatment center. All South Florida sober living homes have house managers who are there to help newer residents out in any way possible.
To learn more about the Best Halfway House Recovery Network, visit their website at http://besthalfwayhouse.com or call them at (800) 335-9720.

Are there other ways to buy tickets

Football tickets LSU
Hi all

I'm pretty sure individual tickets don't go on sale until school starts in the fall (usually late August, but perhaps mid-August during orientation). LSU has a strong season ticket program, so I'm not sure what will be available for a particular game ... at least that's the way it used to be when I went there.
Parking is a different story and virtually impossible to get. Not sure how you'll handle that .. most likely park on the street. I used to go by campus bus, but obviously that's not going to be an option for you.
Report Abuse
You may have to go through a tout. LSU games usually sell out or come close and right now the school is offering upper deck season tickets and individual game tickets for games against three complete stiffs where demand will be low. Washington isn't that good, but it's still from a decent conference so LSU may not have even offered single game tickets to date.
See here: http://ev10.evenue.net/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/SEGetEventList?groupCode=F12T&linkID=lsu&shopperContext=&caller=&appCode=
Overall, however, you're better off talking to LSU than to this board: email@example.com

If it's like any other college football crazed stadium in the US - you can usually buy scalper tix the day of the game, or a few days before.
Might have to pay as much as double face value - or more - but you can probably get in if you really want to.
The ticket you might really want is for the National Championship game this year, where if the Bengal Tigers have their Bayou charm working - they might make it - only to get vanquished by the Mighty Troy - USC Trojans.
BigRuss - did you used to blog on the college football pages a few years ago? If so - you still doing the big BBQ before the LSU games? Loved all the preparation you went to. First class all the way.

Thanks for all the replys it seems I may get face value tickets for the game on Sept 8 which is the best fit for my proposed shedule. There are lots of ticket sites offering tickets from $86 upwards all the cheaper tickets seem to be in the upper tier block 630 ish does anyone have any knowledge of the Tiger Stadium.
I was so looking forward to seeing a collage game my other option is to get tickets for the Saints vs Redskins at the super dome on the 9th Sept the upper tier tickets are about $100 what do people think? I follow the NFL on the tv in the uk and have tickets for the game in London between Patriots and the Redskins in October.
Thanks again

This luxurious 2 bedroom/2 bath unit sleeps 4-5 and is located on the southern exposure of the Sandpearl Residences. Sandpearl is perfectly situated directly on the Gulf of Mexico beach and about 1/4 mile north of Pier 60. The beach behind Sandpearl is over 300 feet deep and you can walk over 4 miles one way on Clearwater beach to Caladesi Island State Park. Beautiful sunsets are an every day occurrence.
Both bedrooms, living room and kitchen offer exceptional views of the beach, Gulf of Mexico and pool deck. Because the ceiling height is 9' 4", all of the rooms feel more spacious. The living room consists of two full size couches, lounge chair, 40" high-definition TV and ceiling fan. The kitchen has granite countertops, beautiful wood cabinets, dishwasher, range and microwave over. The kitchen is well-stocked with pots, pans, dishes, glasses and utensils.
Eight can be seated at the dining room table and four bar stools at the kitchen counter allow for more casual dining. If the weather permits, which is almost all of the time, six could dine outside on the balcony.
Both bedrooms boast king sized beds and ceiling fans for additional comfort. The master has wood floors, two large closets, 32" TV, desk and blackout curtains. The master bath has a huge walk-in shower, dual sinks, granite countertops, marble floors, a private toilet area and linen closet.
Another nice feature of our home is the second bedroom can be used as a suite, because a pocket door allows the guests to use the second bath privately. This bedroom has a king bed and plush carpeting. The guest bath has a tub/shower, granite top and tile floors.
The balcony has seating for six and glass railing, which allows for unobstructed views from the condo.
You may access the internet by wireless connection throughout the unit. A separate laundry room off the kitchen contains a full size washer, dryer and laundry tub.
The Residences at Sandpearl condominium building has amazing amenities for its residents and guests. The enormous pool/garden deck overlooks the beach from the third story. The pool is heated and is long enough for lap swimming. An eight person heated, whirlpool spa is next to the pool. And unlike most hotels, you will NEVER have a problem finding a chair on the Sandpearl's deck. Additionally, there are several covered cabanas for protection from the sun, three gas grills and outdoor showers for rinsing off.
Just of the pool deck is the club room, catering kitchen, billiard room and fitness center. The fitness center includes his and her saunas, steam rooms, six cardio machines all with their own TV's, weight machines, exercise balls and free weights. You can almost always find a fresh cup of coffee in the kitchen.
The concierge staff is available 24/7 and is always friendly and helpful, answering any questions about the building or neighborhood.
There is so much to do without getting into your car, which is securely parked in the building's garage. You can take a short walk down to Pier 60 and listen to live music. Walk up and down Mandalay Avenue to enjoy shopping or dining in numerous establishments, both casual and upscale. Several of our favorites include Tate Island Grill, Frenchy's Rockaway, Bobby's Bistro and JB's Island Café (great breakfast). A CVS drug store is just across the street for almost anything you left behind.
For water activities, you have so much to choose from: jet skiing, kayaking, dolphin watching and pirate cruises, sunset sailing, charter boat fishing. All of these are less than 1/2 mile away. Otherwise, just enjoy a walk on the beach or rent a bicycle.
Due to condominium association rules, the minimum rental period is 30 days.
The four star Sandpearl Resort is just north of our condominium. Besides two great restaurants, you may enjoy full service spa for facials, pedicures, manicures and massages. Also, if you have more guests in town than beds, it's a fantastic place to stay.
Farther away you can enjoy several top-notch golf courses (Innisbrook for example), world-class museums (Dali in St. Petersburg) and professional sporting events (Rays, Buccaneers and Lightning).
Keywords: 2 bedroom condominium directly on Clearwater Beach, southern exposure
We bought this condominium home because of the fantastic location and developer's reputation for the highest quality.
Clearwater Marine Aquarium, home of Winter the star of the movie 'Dolphin Tale', is located less than 1.5 miles from Sandpearl. Numerous charter boats available for fishing or sightseeing less than half mile away at the Clearwater Municipal Marina.

The Scottish Disability Equality Forum says businesses have to do more for disabled employees or customers than schools do.
Research carried out by SDEF looked at 60 state and independent providers of primary and secondary schooling. Just two of 60 were able to provide an accessibility strategy that met 2002 Education Act requirements.
Susan Grasekamp, CEO of SDEF, said: "It's astonishing that, as equalities law stands, a bank is required to modify a branch for a disabled employee or customer, but a school does not have to adapt their building for a disabled pupil.
"Scottish legislation, which should be increasing access for disabled pupils is being largely ignored. We want to see education providers, Education Scotland and the Scottish Government taking this seriously."

Excellent private location at the end of the road in the heart of the York Beach Nubble peninsula. From this sunny corner lot you can hear and smell the ocean. Conveniently located just a short walk from either long or short sand beaches, the Nubble lighthouse, or the famous Brown's ice cream. Enjoy your days at the beach and in town, then retreat to this quiet setting where the ocean breezes and singing birds greet you on the deck. This home is spacious, clean, tastefully decorated, and well maintained. 2000 square feet of living space provides lots of room for the whole family to come together and yet still gives everyone the ability to seek out their own quiet spot.
New Listing: This home is new to the York Beach rental market.
This was our 2nd year renting the house. There is nothing bad I can say about this house. It is beautifully decorated, so clean and the perfect amount of space for 10 people. It is on a quiet street but close enough to town/beach to walk. We are already talking about summer 2015 :)
Immaculate home, beautifully furnished throughout. The kitchen and dining areas are perfect spaces for family and friends to relax and enjoy catching up over dinner with all the comforts of home you could need and more. It's an easy walk to either short or long sands beaches - perfect vacation spot at York beach!
Wonderful vacation home! This scrupulously clean, charmingly decorated home is 2000 square feet of pure delight!
The common rooms are large and most inviting and great places for family meals, games, conversation or ----and this is the best part ----cooking lobsters bought from local lobster men. The kitchen table is huge and covered with newspapers at the start of the feast makes for a lightening fast clean up. Ummmm and Brown's ice cream for dessert!
In the evening, retreat to the upstairs bedrooms, all air conditioned, they are large, quiet, peaceful, and beautifully furnished, Much care has been taken to make the guests feel at home.
There is plenty to do at the close by beaches and town. If you are lucky, you may catch an old fashioned New England concert on the green by the beach.
A short drive will take you to Ogunquit, another beach town with shops and restaurants galore.
So, if you are planning a New England vacation any time of the year, go to Maine and RENT THIS HOME!
This house exceeded our expectations. Rooms are very large. We were 6 adults along with 4 young children and everyone had a lot of space. We loved the kitchen and dining area which is very open and perfect for big family meals. The neighborhood is nice and tranquil, making the short walk to the beach very pleasant. We would recommend this house without hesitation.
Our family spent an amazing week in York Beach during July of 2014. We have been lucky enough to rent this beautiful home on Fifth Street, which is very close to the Nubble Lighthouse, for the past four years. This home is beautifully maintained on the inside as well as the outside. This rental is a three bedroom, 2 1/2 bath home that has all the comforts and conveniences of home. The air conditioners are very much appreciated on hot days. Over the past two years, the owners have added an island in the kitchen and new wood floors in the downstairs. We appreciate that the house has great natural light and is very clean. We love going to Long Sands Beach, York Wild Kingdom, and browsing around the shops in the downtown area and then returning to this comfortable home. Our favorite times at the house are in the morning and evening. The modern appliances, the well-stocked kitchen, and the grill on the deck make dinner preparations very easy. Our favorite place to enjoy meals is on the very private back deck. The back yard, with Adirondack chairs, is a great place to relax and a wonderful area for kids to play. We have many fantastic memories that have been made at York Beach and in this home. The homeowners are very friendly and it has been a pleasure working with them. We look forward to going back next year and highly recommend this house for families.
Booking vacation rentals are a blind purchase even with attractive photos and list of appealing amenities. You never know until you step inside exactly what you're getting. In this case, everything stated on the Homeaway listing is exactly as advertised. The home is more like a year-round residence than a vacation rental. It is clean, neat, well-appointed and roomy for 6 adults, 2 toddlers and a 7-month old. The furnishings and decorations are tasteful, the home and surroundings exceptionally private for its location. All in all, a worthwhile choice for those looking for space, all the tools and gadgets you would want (including a drinking glass for every occasion), and a location in a great neighborhood. If you're used to hiking narrow roads with no sidewalk, both beaches can be reachable on foot. However, with little ones in tow we opted for a short drive and parking wherever we could find it. HINT: bring lots of quarters!!

John Ford (English Dramatist)
John Ford, 1586–c.1640, English dramatist, b. Devonshire. He went to London to study law but was never called to the bar. The early part of his playwriting career was taken up with collaborations, primarily with Dekker. His three major tragedies, 'Tis Pity She's a Whore,The Broken Heart, and Love's Sacrifice, and a historical play, Perkin Warbeck appeared between 1627 and 1634. Ford was the most important playwright during the reign of Charles I. His plays are characterized by a sympathetic treatment of thwarted love, and they stress the conflict between the power of human passion and the laws of conscience and society. They are intense, melancholy, and violent, often revealing his interest in abnormal psychology and taboo subjects—'Tis Pity She's a Whore deals with incest.

Ray Parks suffers another huge loss
RAY Parks may be a winner on the hardcourt. But the past months had been marked by two huge personal losses for the amateur basketball star.
The 20-year-old Ray lost his father, seven-time PBA Best Import Bobby Parks, to cancer Saturday afternoon, just 14 months after his girlfriend, former TV sports reporter Maan Panganiban, died from the same vicious disease.
"Turn a negative into a positive, that's one thing I learned from him," a visibly pained Ray said yesterday, adding that he still couldn't talk much about his father, with whom he is known to be close.
In the last UAAP season, Ray again proved his worth as he captured his second straight Most Valuable Player award while towing the National University to the Final Four for the first time in 11 years.
It was a season, which Ray said, was dedicated to the memory of Panganiban, who died at 25 years old in January last year due to lymphoma, a type of blood cancer.
In the Bulldogs' first game last year, the 6-foot-3 shooting guard came out of the dugout wearing a warmup shirt printed with "I love Maan."
Now, Ray tries to come to terms again with another tragedy as his father passed away after more than a year of battling larynx and lung cancer. He was 51.
Bobby made his Philippine debut with San Miguel Beer in 1987 and built an unparalleled career for the next 12 seasons with the Shell Turbo Chargers where he emerged as one of the most dominant imports the PBA had seen.
He was inducted into the PBA Hall of Fame in 2009 but fell ill the following year, before deciding to return to the Philippines with Ray.
Until the end, basketball kept Bobby busy as he coached the San Miguel Beermen in the Asean Basketball League, although he had to step down late last year due to health reasons.
He also worked as an assistant athletic director for NU.
Bobby is survived by his wife Jasmine and two other children.
His remains lie in state at Heritage Park in Taguig. Interment details will be announced soon.
Come June, Ray will be back in the UAAP hardcourt hoping to turn again a negative into a positive, just the way Bobby would have wanted.
"Everything that I am today is because of him," said Ray. "It was a good 20 years with him."

I'm currently using the thumbs_up gem to allow my users to vote on posts and am having an issue with the vote_exclusively_for/against methods. Here is the gem's github link: https://github.com/brady8/thumbs_up. The gem works fine with the vote_up and vote_down methods, but when I change it to vote_exclusively_for (which is supposed to replace a previous down vote w/ an up vote), I get the following error in my development log:
ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid (Validation failed: Voteable has already been taken):
app/controllers/posts_controller.rb:97:in `vote_up'
It appears that a method inside the gem is not clearing out the previous vote before initiating the new vote. Here is my code in the posts_controller:
def vote_up
@user = current_user
@post = Post.find(params[:id])
redirect_to (..)
Here is the code from the gem:
def vote_exclusively_for(voteable)
self.vote(voteable, { :direction => :up, :exclusive => true })
def vote(voteable, options = {})
raise ArgumentError, "you must specify :up or :down in order to vote" unless options[:direction] && [:up, :down].include?(options[:direction].to_sym)
if options[:exclusive]
direction = (options[:direction].to_sym == :up)
Vote.create!(:vote => direction, :voteable => voteable, :voter => self)
def clear_votes(voteable)
:voter_id => self.id,
:voter_type => self.class.name,
:voteable_id => voteable.id,
:voteable_type => voteable.class.name
I'm not sure why the clear_votes method isn't deleting the previous vote. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The world of Howler's sophomore album

Trama's "Da Bridge Iz Ova," about the collapse of 35W into the Mississippi last summer, is the kind of protest song you only hear now online. Its boisterous beat-jacking recalls the old-school joys of plundering copyrighted material, a practice now relegated to mixtapes, which exist to lift backing tracks from hits (with the tacit approval of a music industry happy for any promotion it can get). "Da Bridge" also revives the old-school real-time response to local events, never mind that it's already dated—Minnesota settled with the victims of the disaster two weeks before the track appeared on Barack OTrama: The Mixtape last month.
Whatever your political bent, the fallen bridge remains a potent metaphor of neglect under Republican rule as the party plans its national infomercial from St. Paul in September. And while Trama's retelling of events is nothing most residents didn't experience first-hand (the recognition that it could have been us or our loved ones on the bridge, the flurry of phone calls to confirm that it wasn't), the song does refocus the mind. Ingeniously borrowing Boogie Down Productions' 1987 classic "The Bridge Is Over" for its music and perfect title chorus, "Da Bridge" offers Tram, a Queens native of Trinidadian heritage, the opportunity to show off his Caribbean roots by singjaying. Remember that the BDP original had been an answer to MC Shan's "The Bridge," about the Queensbridge housing projects' central place in early rap; KRS-One played the bass line from Super Cat's "Boops" on piano while singing his disses to the tune of Billy Joel's "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me." Now Trama sings: "Everybody talkin' 'bout Mn/DOT fronting but you're still telling lies to me."
Meanwhile, the gem of local Trama collaborator Muja Messiah's similarly politically minded mixtape MPLS Massacre is another wholesale sample and rewrite, in this case of M.I.A.'s guerilla-thug anthem "Paper Planes," itself a from-scratch retooling of the Clash's Vietnam bossa nova "Straight to Hell," and recent rap-over fodder for everyone from Bun B to Baltimore's Rye Rye. Muja's version shows no trace of the Clash's or M.I.A.'s politics, unless you count Ghanaian-born Minneapolis rapper M.anifest equating double-barrel armed robbery with "reparations" on his guest vocal. Mostly, this and the Trama track are collectible signs of activity from voices we need to hear more from—funny and, above all, shameless.

Singaporeans increasingly taking scenic rail route for tour packages
Demand for tour packages which include rail journeys sees increase of 20% to 30%
Published on Jan 6, 2014 7:48 AM
FORGET flying or driving. More and more Singaporeans are letting the train take the strain when they travel between cities on overseas breaks.
The demand for tour packages which include rail journeys has seen a year-on-year increase of 20 per cent to 30 per cent, local travel agencies told The Straits Times. Popular destinations for these include Europe, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.
Dynasty Travel, for example, has seen an increase in demand not only for its flexible "free and easy" packages, but also group tours. Last year, about 2,800 travellers opted for rail travel options in Europe, an increase of about 30 per cent from 2012.
Ms Alicia Seah, director of marketing communications for Dynasty Travel, said that while some rail tickets may cost twice as much as coach fares, customers do not mind paying more because it helps to save time.

text: I have been away from lifting for quite a while. I attempted to begin a journal several months back and also attempted to finish an unbiased review of ALN Mass Stack. Both attempts failed due to injury. I was also a part of the recent winter bulk which for obvious reasons I had to drop. I have several back issues which have hindered me from reaching goals. I have just been released by the doctor so my goal is to start slow and ease back into lifting so I do not cause a reversal in the injury. My pelvis was twisted with the right side pushed forward. This caused my leg joint to swell and it actually got stuck in position. My left side was carrying the load which caused obvious problems. It got to the point where I could not walk and my wife had to try and hold me up, all 220lbs of me. When the pelvis twisted it caused my spine to begin to twist as well. All is back in place and is finally holding. Now my journal begins.

'Oz' again tops box office with $42.2 million
Monday - 3/18/2013, 1:40pm EDT
AP Entertainment Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- "Oz the Great and Powerful" is living up to its name at the box office.
Walt Disney's 3-D blockbuster led all films for the second week in a row, taking in $42.2 million according to studio estimates Sunday. Sam Raimi's prequel to the L. Frank Baum classic "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" also took in $46.6 million overseas, leading to a two-week worldwide total of $281.8 million.
In a winter of underperforming releases, that makes "Oz" easily the biggest hit of 2013 so far.
"Boy, did we need it," said Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com. "There have been a lot of box-office casualties this year. This is the shot in the arm that we needed, but we're still waiting for the marketplace to gain some sort of momentum."
The box office is down nearly 13 percent from last year.
Among the weekend's debuts, the Halle Berry thriller "The Call" far exceeded expectations with a $17.1 million opening for Sony and TriStar Pictures. The Steve Carell magician comedy "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone" fared worse, opening with a disappointing $10.3 million for Warner Bros.
The performances of the two new releases continued a theme of 2013: Movies targeting female audiences have had more success than male-driven films. "The Call," in which Berry plays a 911 operator, was deliberately marketed to women, who made up 61 percent of its audience, Sony said. "Burt Wonderstone," starring Carell and Jim Carrey as rival Las Vegas magicians, sought a young male comedy audience that didn't materialize.
Female turnout has driven most all of the box office hits of the year, including the Melissa McCarthy comedy "Identity Thief" and the vampire romance "Warm Bodies." Macho films like Arnold Schwarzenegger's "The Last Stand" and Sylvester Stallone's "Bullet to the Head" have fizzled.
"Studios should take note," says Dergarabedian. "There's a lot of female power going on at the box office."
Opening in just three theaters in New York and Los Angeles was another film starring James Franco, who plays the Wizard in "Oz the Great and Powerful." ''Spring Breakers," a dreamy trip of day-glo debauchery starring Franco, Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens, opened with a strong $90,000 per-theater average ahead of its wider release next weekend.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Where available, latest international numbers are included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday:
1. "Oz the Great and Powerful," $42.2 million. ($46.6 million international.)
2. "The Call," $17.1 million.
3. "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone," $10.3 million.
4. "Jack the Giant Slayer," $6.2 million. ($10 million international.)
5. "Identity Thief," $4.5 million. ($745,000 international.)
6. "Snitch," $3.5 million. ($130,000 international.)
7. "21 and Over," $2.6 million. ($1 million international.)
8. "Silver Linings Playbook," $2.6 million. ($3.7 million international.)
9. "Safe Haven," $2.5 million. ($1.2 million international.)
10. "Escape From Planet Earth," $2.3 million.
Estimated weekend ticket sales at international theaters (excluding the U.S. and Canada) for films distributed overseas by Hollywood studios, according to Rentrak:
1. "Oz the Great and Powerful," $46.6 million.
2. "A Good Day to Die Hard," $20.4 million.
3. "Jack the Giant Slayer," $10.3 million
4. "Hansel and Gretal: Witch Hunters," $6.2 million.
5. "Warm Bodies," $4 million.
6. "Mama," $3.8 million.
7. "Silver Linings Playbook," $3.7 million.
8. "Les Miserables," $3.1 million.
9. "Django Unchained," $3 million.
(tie) "Jappeloup," $3 million."

Caution Regarding Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements included in this press release may constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable Canadian
securities legislation. Except as may be required by Canadian
securities laws, Dorel does not undertake any obligation to update or
revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise. Forward-looking statements, by
their very nature, are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties and
are based on several assumptions which give rise to the possibility
that actual results could differ materially from Dorel's expectations
expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements and that the
objectives, plans, strategic priorities and business outlook may not be
achieved. As a result, Dorel cannot guarantee that any forward-looking
statement will materialize. Forward-looking statements are provided in
this press release for the purpose of giving information about
Management's current expectations and plans and allowing investors and
others to get a better understanding of Dorel's operating environment.
However, readers are cautioned that it may not be appropriate to use
such forward-looking statements for any other purpose.
Forward-looking statements made in this press release are based on a
number of assumptions that Dorel believed were reasonable on the day it
made the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from the Company's expectations expressed
in or implied by the forward-looking statements include: general
economic conditions; changes in product costs and supply channel;
foreign currency fluctuations; customer and credit risk including the
concentration of revenues with few customers; costs associated with
product liability; changes in income tax legislation or the
interpretation or application of those rules; the continued ability to
develop products and support brand names; changes in the regulatory
environment; continued access to capital resources and the related
costs of borrowing; changes in assumptions in the valuation of goodwill
and other intangible assets and subject to dividends being declared by
the Board of Directors, there can be no certainty that Dorel's Dividend
Policy will be maintained. These and other risk factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from expectations expressed
in or implied by the forward-looking statements are discussed in
Dorel's annual MD&A and Annual Information Form filed with the
applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities. The risk factors
outlined in the previously mentioned documents are specifically
incorporated herein by reference.
Dorel cautions readers that the risks described above are not the only
ones that could impact it. Additional risks and uncertainties not
currently known to Dorel or that Dorel currently deems to be immaterial
may also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition or results of operations. Given these risks and
uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.
Except as otherwise indicated, forward-looking statements do not reflect
the potential impact of any non-recurring or other unusual items or of
any dispositions, mergers, acquisitions, other business combinations or
other transactions that may be announced or that may occur after the
date hereof. The financial impact of these transactions and
non-recurring and other unusual items can be complex and depends on the
facts particular to each of them. Dorel therefore cannot describe the
expected impact in a meaningful way or in the same way Dorel presents
known risks affecting the business.

specie or species? Singular/Plural help?
I can't figure out if "specie" is the correct singular or if "species" is the correct singular.
You see things like "a species of squirrel" all the time, making me think it's singular?
