The South African government released its official climate change response policy this week and while it contains many positives, many environmentalists, myself included, are very concerned about the fact that it contains a continued and increased commitment to nuclear energy.
First, some of the good news. In the National Climate Change Response White Paper, the government reiterates its conviction, based on the research of the vast majority of the world's climate scientists, that climate change is happening, that human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation are the main causes and that there will be very severe consequences if the international community does not take decisive collective action to halt it.
That's great. There's not denying that. What's more, the South African government acknowledges that, while Africa as a continent has been a relatively minor contributor to climate change, South Africa itself is a significant emitter of greenhouse gases (GHG), largely as a result of its energy-intensive, fossil fuel powered economy. If nothing is done, the country's emissions are projected to quadruple by 2050.
The new climate change response policy, released just a month before the important COP17 meeting (the 17th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) in the coastal city of Durban, sets out a framework for how the country plans to reduce its GHG emissions to a level believed to restrict the increase in global mean temperatures to within 2oC of pre-industrial levels and prevent catastrophic consequences.
Electricity generation accounts for about 40% of all of South Africa's GHG emissions and clearly this represents a major opportunity for future reductions. More than 90% of the country's electricity is produced by coal-fired power stations. The French-built Koeberg plant outside Cape Town, which dates back to the Apartheid era, remains the country's only commercial nuclear energy facility.
It's interesting to take a look at how a major new nuclear energy construction program has become an integral part of South Africa's climate change policy. The ruling African National Congress, in power since the first democratic elections in 1994, used to be a staunch opponent of atomic energy. When the organization was in exile some of its underground operatives even sabotaged Koeberg while it was being built.
These days, however, the ANC government is a very strong proponent of nuclear energy. Critics believe that this is mainly the result of effective lobbying by the international nuclear industry and the country's main industrial and mining electricity consumers. This week, Minister of Energy, Dipuo Peters confirmed that plans to construct 6 new nuclear plants with a combined capacity of 9 600 megawatts would cost something like R1 trillion (about $125 billion).
The formal acceptance of nuclear energy into South Africa's climate change policy can be traced back to a study of so-called long term mitigation scenarios (LTMS) which modeled various actions that could be taken to bring the country's GHG emission under control in line with what is required internationally to prevent catastrophic climate change.
This study involved consultation and cooperation with multiple stakeholders including government, industry, civil society and the country's scientific community. As a preferred solution it honed in on a "Peak, Plateau and Decline" emissions trajectory which would see national emissions peak between 2020 and 2025, followed by a decade-long plateau and then a gradual decline.
Significantly, the LTMS study, which was adopted by the South African cabinet in 2008 and presented to the world for the first time with considerable acclaim at COP14 in Poznań (Poland) in 2009, did not consider any scenarios that phased out both fossil fuels and nuclear power in favor of renewable sources of energy. That's not an unreasonable suggestion – the South African branches of the WWF and Greenpeace have, in fact, come up with just such scenarios.
It's quite clear that South Africa, a country with vast solar and wind energy potential, could make a transition to a clean, green economy free of environmentally dubious nuclear power and fossil fuels within a reasonable time frame. But since the government-sanctioned LTMS study did not provide this as an option, it seems not to have been considered by the powers that be.
Even though the authors of the study emphasize that it was not a decision-making process in itself and was only meant to present policy-makers with options, the fact that the options it presented were severely limited meant that its recommendations became policy and nuclear energy became part of South Africa's Integrated Resource Plan defining electricity generation until 2030 as well as the national climate change response policy.
Unless anti-nuclear campaigners make some serious progress soon, nuclear energy will play a very significant role in South Africa's future.

Living near Cape Town, I feel rather uncomfortable knowing that a power plant based on the same technology used to blow up Hiroshima and Nagasaki, is right on my doorstep.
Eskom (the power supliers) actually have a wind farm nearby - well, more like an allotment. There are 3 wind towers, though I have only ever seen one in operation. What is wrong with this picture?
Our farm is not connected to the grid at all. We have a small solar array, and in the 11 years of its operation, we STILL haven't spent as much money as it would have cost to connect us to the national grid. Solar is a winner, its cost-effective, energy-effective, and has a miniscule carbon footprint. And if it blows up, I won't be left with radiation burns and 90% chance on cancer.
Stage one: Minimise use of high-pollution fuels like high-sulfur coal, shale and tar sand oil, and similar fuels in existing plants; establish a phase-out schedule for facilities that can't be adapted to use improved pollution controls.
Stage two: Establish sustainable power sources like geothermal hotwells, ocean tide current and wave conversion, wind farms, and solar concentrator and PV panel installations as part of the nation's power grid, and add advanced safe design PWR and BWR nuclear fission facilities when actually needed; keep in mind that those are not permanent and are to be replaced in the final stage.
Stage 3: Allow increased use of sustainable power systems to replace first the fossil fuel facilities, then most or all of the nuclear fission plants. Allow geothermal hotwells to be added to the fission plants so when their reactors expend their fuel the geothermal boilers can replace teh reactor boilers. Promote distributed wind and solar investment as well as dedicated or split-use wind farms and solar concentrators; a Climax water preheat tank on a sunward roof and a half kilowatt bus alternator on a papalote style wind rotor at every home could drastically reduce total grid load though the grid would still power the nation's industry and ease personal life.
And I quote: "Unless anti-nuclear campaigners make some serious progress soon, nuclear energy will play a very significant role in South Africas future.

The above article does not mention South Africa's significant and continued investment in their coal mining industry. We have a bloody long way to go, as yet!!
I would prefer that the world adopt clean, green energy and phase out nuclear power.
thank you for this article :)
If you want to talk to South Africa,talk to China first! From soil to air...
Stupid is as stupid does!!!!
This is a real shame. South Africa could get all it's electricity from clean solar, wind, and geothermal power. The potential from offshore and land wind alone could probably power the country. The nuclear waste that takes 100,000 years to not pose an enviromental hazard, alone should be a reason not to pursue nuclear power. Add the accidents in Japan, the USA, and Russia over the years, and it should be a no brainer that nuclear power is unsafe and produces deadly highly radioactive waste that must be stored.
Solar power--South Africa has abundant sunshine.
Solar power over neclear power always.Look at the Japan and Russian .breakdowns.What about the ones that the general public dont get to hear about?.

Lots of people use cosmetic surgery to enhance their appearance every day. Simple procedures recreate people's appearances every day. There are dangers associated with cosmetic surgery that many people do not realize. One wrong surgical move can seriously disfigure an individual and change their life in a negative way. To prevent this scenario, read the following information.
As you are interviewing surgeons, inquire as to whether he has a book of former clients you can see. You should exam images of before and after results of procedures the doctor has performed to see if this is work you would like to have performed on you. Ask all the questions you want answers to, and inquire whether you can talk to past clients to learn more about what the experience is like. Use this information to help you decide whether or not to use this surgeon.
Ask your surgeon if there is anything that you are going to have to do to alter your appearance before the surgery. Find out if any hair removal is necessary from your face if you are male, or whether the hair on your head will need trimming.
Be sure to ask your cosmetic surgeon any questions you may have, including questions about his background and experience. Check his scholastic background and ask how often he performs your procedure. Also, check before and after pictures to see the actual results of his operations.
Talk to your surgeon and ask them about past procedures they have been involved with. Make sure you know how many times they have completed the procedure that you are thinking about. Ask to see pictures of these surgeries. No surgery has a 100% guarantee, but if you choose a reputable doctor it should go extremely well.
Find out what risks are involved with your procedure and ask if the doctor does anything special to combat those risks. Always research independently to ensure that your doctor is being upfront with you.
You should always look for other ways to pay for things. The physician knows a lot of people don't have enough money to pay upfront for the procedure, and he might offer a payment plan. If there is no flexible payment options then search around for a doctor who does provide flexibility before getting the surgery done.
You need to check out the facility where your surgery will be performed to be sure they have the proper accreditations and credentials. Much like you would verify a doctor's skills, you should also verify the qualifications of any potential surgery sites. Find out if any complaints have been filed and how they were resolved.
Although Botox is not actually considered plastic surgery, be sure that only a doctor performs the procedure on you. Quite often people go to beauty salons for this type of procedure. You can put your health in danger while trying to save money.
It is important to know that pain as well as scarring can accompany plastic surgery. A lot of patients have no idea how much pain they will be in during recovery. You will be able to heal more quickly if you mentally prepare yourself for the pain that you will experience post-procedure.
As was stated previously, individuals have cosmetic surgery every day. There are lots of simple surgeries that can drastically change your appearance. A small error by the doctor can be dangerous for the patient having the procedure. If you use the advice in this article, you can avoid some of the possible dangers resulting from plastic surgery.

Many people believe plastic surgery is unhealthy. However, when done properly, it is not only not unhealthy but it can be beneficial. This is due to the fact that your self esteem affects your appearance, and plastic surgery helps to improve your outlook on life. The following article will help you learn more.
Talk to your doctor about antibiotics. Taking these pills is often part of the procedure; they can minimize the chance of infection. Get another opinion if your doctor is not giving you antibiotics.
Find out if you need to do anything to prepare yourself for the operation. Perhaps you will need to cut your hair or shave some part of your body.
Plastic surgery is normally expensive and requires recovery time, which could lead to time off work. Make sure that you have savings on the side to compensate for lost time at work and any additional post-op expenses. That way you can focus on getting better and not have to worry about bills and other expenses.
You should thoroughly research your surgeons policy on revised procedures. Surgeons have made mistakes during surgeries plenty of times, resulting in costly corrective surgery. There are doctors that allow for corrective procedures at no cost for a certain period of time after the surgery.
Find out what risks are involved with your procedure and ask if the doctor does anything special to combat those risks. Once you have asked questions, research the information the doctor has given you to make sure they are being completely honest with you.
Before agreeing to the surgery, be certain the hospital and doctor are properly certified. Just like it is important to research the actual surgeon, it is also important to know what the medical facility is like. Key details include prior issues or complaints from patients and staff using the facility.
Botox is a rather simple procedure, but make sure you go to a licensed cosmetic surgeon. Sometimes spas and beauty salons offer these procedures, but the individuals performing them are not doctors. While that could save you money, it could also place your health and life in jeopardy.
Check out the clinic before the procedure. Whether it is in the doctor's office or another building, you want to know the facility has the proper certification. Being familiar with the location of your surgery will reduce the stress you feel on your operation day.
It is important to realize that cosmetic surgery hurts and that you may be left with a scar. Plastic surgery also causes a lot of pain, which some people do not comprehend. You can heal faster if you are more prepared to deal with the pain.
Select a surgeon in your local area. If you have complications or need revisions, it will be easier to return to the same surgeon.
If your potential surgeon is not board certified, it is a good idea to look elsewhere. Inquire about your surgeon's experience in the procedure you are considering. Ask for proof and check out neutral recommendations.
Your knowledge of cosmetic surgery has grown a lot as you read this article. Extensive research and planning for your aftercare are important steps in making your procedure go smoothly. Before long, your appearance will be what you have always dreamed of.

Wireless technology has the potential to expand broadband access to many people with modest investment. But, where will the critical wireless spectrum come from? All useful spectrum is already allocated while paradoxically most spectrum is unused. This paradox can be shattered with a new technology, dynamic spectrum access. We will discuss how dynamic spectrum access presents both technical challenges that need solved while also creating opportunities for regulators to unlock the potential of their country's spectrum. We will also present examples of its use including access to the unused "white spaces" in the television band to provide broadband.
This talk will be delivered by Professor Timothy X Brown of Carnegie Mellon University - Rwanda. He is a Professor in Electrical, Computer, and Energy Engineering and served as Director of the Interdisciplinary Telecommunications Program at the University of Colorado, Boulder. He received his B.S. in physics from Pennsylvania State University and his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from California Institute of Technology in 1990.
His research interests include adaptive network control, machine learning, and wireless communication systems. His current research funding includes NSF, FAA, DOE, and industry. Projects include the role of mobility in network control of unmanned aircraft, denial of service vulnerabilities in wireless protocols, spectrum policy frameworks for cognitive radios, and indoor wireless network performance.
He is a recipient of the NSF CAREER Award, and the GWEC Wireless Educator of the Year Award.

Wayfair asked me to write a post on winterizing the garden and I was like, huh? I had to research how winterizing was done because where I live, that pretty much amounts to putting on a windbreaker when you go out to get the mail. Occasionally we get an inch or two of rain, causing everyone to toss their hands up in a panic and crawl the city streets at 15 mph to avoid the dangerous puddles.
After consulting quite a few books, some of which I actually own, I managed to come up with a winter plan that will (hopefully) please most New England gardeners. Just for fun, I shared what my garden books recommend southern California gardeners to prepare for winter. You can read the post here. Don't laugh.
p.s. What does Carl Larsson's painting The Skier have to do with this post? Nothing! I just love how his work exudes peace and happiness. Did you know that he had a traumatic childhood, and that much of his work reflects the desire to give his children something different? They "became the most immediate and lasting part of my life's work. For these pictures are of course a very genuine expression of my personality, of my deepest feelings, of all my limitless love for my wife and children." [source]
The State of My Face
I thought I would give an update on my face since I last talked about the flareup that turned out to be rosacea. I dutifully took all the medications prescribed to me by my dermatologist who, in my completely uninformed opinion, may have Asperger syndrome. Let's just say she lacks an empathy gene, and when I asked her about a mole during my rosacea appointment, she acted like I asked her about the color of her underwear.
"The purpose of your appointment is not to talk about a mole. Your appointment is to talk about your rosacea. You need to schedule an appointment to talk about your mole because this appointment is about rosacea." All of this she said while looking at the wall to the right of my head.
During my appointment about only rosacea, we concluded that the medications weren't helping, so she added a fourth one to the pile. This I also dutifully took, and my face did get slightly better. Unfortunately, it also got ridiculously oily. I have always had dry skin, so the excess oil production was confusing. Never have I had to reapply powder or blot my face during the day, but there I was, blotting myself with paper towels and tissues. I eventually realized that it was because all of my medications were drying out my skin, causing my body to produce oil in record amounts. My face didn't look good enough to put up with one more hassle. I stopped all my medications and started researching other dermatologists.
I was painting the 4th grade classroom with the teacher, complaining about my face per usual, when she suggested I use essential oils. She gave me a sample of Immortelle by doTerra after making sure it didn't have any oils that would make matters worse. I tried it, and I have to say I loved it. It's all I've been using ever since, and my face looks better than it has in a very, very long time. Not perfect by any means, but much better than before. No one has asked me lately if I've been punched in the jaw, which I consider a success.
I'm not sure if I really had rosacea after all, and I'm not recommending immortelle for those who do because it's expensive and I don't want anyone to waste their money because some weirdo on the internet said it works great. If you do buy it, be aware that it stinks to high heaven. A list of the ingredients (Frankincense, Helichrysum, Rose, Lavender, Myrrh) should explain why.
Immortelle users swear it helps with eyesight, wrinkles, rosacea, dark under eye circles, brown spots, wound healing, scarring, and taxes. I'm kidding about the eye sight. <----sardonic
Here's the thing. You have to watch out for marketing mumbo-jumbo, and there is a lot of marketing mumbo-jumbo in any and all forms of retail. Immortelle has worked wonders for me, but I don't believe it works on repairing eyesight. I'm sorry, but I don't. Wrinkles, okay. Same goes for skin rashes and other inflammations, especially since it has lavender. I know for a darn fact it doesn't work my brown spots because I've been applying it to my ever-growing collection for two months now with zero improvement. ZERO.
At least this gives me something new to complain about. BROWN SPOTS. They immediately age me, no matter what I put on my face. I can't cover them up with makeup, but I suspect my makeup is too sheer. Other than immortelle, I haven't used anything else to lighten them up. I won't go back to my socially awkward dermatologist, obviously. I need to do something, though, because my 1+ hour of daily recess duty isn't doing me any favors. If you've had success lightening your brown spots, I would love to hear your recipe.
OMG MY SKIN. This is 41, people.
My teacher's in-service (I was well enough to go) was in Yucaipa at St. Francis X. Cabrini Catholic Church, which has to be one of the most beautiful Catholic churches in the area. It was stunning and huge! As I exited the freeway, I noticed that the famous apple orchards of Oak Glen were to the left. Going to the apple orchards is something I always wanted to do as a family, so that's what we did on Saturday.
I didn't know which orchard to pick, so I chose Riley's because it was the first one that popped up online and looked pretty good. The boys had a great time. There were a ton of activities for them, including tomahawk throwing and archery. I was nervous when it was Mikey's turn to throw the tomahawk. Mikey is a fair athlete. He gives it 100% and loves sports, but he will never be a professional…football player, for example. I'm more than OK with that, but the mama bear in me didn't want him to toss a tomahawk in front of a crowd of people and have it land in the dirt 5 feet from the target. I shouldn't have worried. He listened to the directions quietly and got into position. Then my serious, small-for-his-age 10 year-old let that tomahawk fly. It whistled through the air blade over grip and hit the target with a loud whack. Head shot, I'll have you know. The crowd made a murmuring sound of surprise and the guy in the tri horn hat looked at me and said, "OK, he's a natural." Then Mikey went on to make 5 more shots like tossing dangerous weapons is what he does for fun after he runs out of babies to pinch. Nico, it turns out, is a natural at archery, even though they didn't have a left-handed bow. I walked away both proud and slightly concerned that we are raising the Dixon brothers from The Walking Dead.
As much fun as it was, we wouldn't go back to Riley's. It was far too crowded and the trees were picked bare. We only managed to get a few apples, and only standard varieties you can get at the store. When I came home, I went on Facebook and saw that our priest went apple picking, too! While we were there at the same time, he was at a different orchard. He couldn't remember the name, but his pictures showed him drowning in bushels of apples. Our orchard was more picturesque, but the man walked away with apples from an apple orchard. Which is, like, the point when you go apple picking. Clearly he had God on his side during the apple orchard selecting process.
Happy, Happy
Every time I think I've dodged the cold I feel coming on, I get a tickle in my throat. I must have caught something in the TK-K classroom, even though I wash my hands all the time. There is a teacher's in service on Friday, so the boys don't have school. I have to go, even though I'm not a teacher. Have you ever wanted to not get sick because you don't want to ruffle feathers by missing something important, only to secretly also want to get sick enough that you can get out of going?
It gives me smug satisfaction to have bookcases that aren't styled. Old craft projects, rocks the boys find on hikes with my brother, and a post-it note reminding me to check out The Snakebite Letters.
Nico's teacher told the class about apple fries, and he hasn't stopped asking for them. I promised I would make them for him, but when I searched for recipes I found out apple fries are literally fried. [insert bug-eyed emoticon here] I want to meet the person who looked at an apple, our modern-time symbol of health, and said, "You know what? I'm going to fry the hell outta this thing. Then I'm going to roll it in sugar." I'm still making them, of course. I have apples, though I might need some more. I'm going to try this vegan recipe.
I decorated for Fall/Thanksgiving. The boys wanted to go out and decorate for Halloween, but I don't want to decorate for just one day. Plus, the decorations are morbid. I don't want to hang a zombie head over my fireplace. I can't believe I am now one of those moms who decorates for the seasons. That's thanks to the library. Also, the boys are appreciative and notice the decorations right away, which is motivating.
It's time for me to move the fiddle leaf fig. A couple of months ago I mentioned that the plant was starting to scrap the ceiling. Now it's growing along the ceiling. I might move it outside, though I'm worried because the spot I have in mind faces West. I finally bought some air plants for the containers I bought over the summer. Now I want to get some sand for the balls, for looks more than anything else. I regret heartily the long air plant holder-thingy I bought. I should have bought a third glass ball.
Currently our dining room hold book wrapping supplies, legos, a toy car, graded homework, glue, the a fake pumpkin that fell off my door wreath, two cacti, a variegated jade, and Nico's pinto bean school project. Notably absent: things that belong on dining room tables.
The William Morris Project: Pinterest
This might be one of my biggest projects yet, and I don't even have to move from my chair. I spent two hours last night cleaning up my pinterest boards. I went from 156 to 104 boards. That's a decrease of 33.33%. Not bad! I would love to get under 100 boards, but that's impossible since I haven't moved over my boards from the library account I started a couple of months ago.
Yes, I started the library account because my original account was too cluttered for me to find anything. Heaven forbid I just clean out the cluttered account! At least now I can say that I've taken steps to having a pinterest account that won't give me a nervous breakdown.
Things I'm doing to clean up my Pinterest space:
- Deleting all boards with only 1 or 2 pins
- Deleting all boards that are no longer relevant, like boards on specific books I've read
- Deleting all recipe boards that include ingredients I no longer eat, like chicken
- Deleting inspiration boards for rooms/trips/designs that are no longer relevant (I no longer need a laundry room board, for example)
- Giving all boards heading and sub-heading
- Alphabetizing all boards
I'm still working on all bullet items, especially the last two. Alphabetizing boards takes forever! You have to move them around with your mouse because pinterest isn't enough of a time-suck as it is, I guess. I want to see a button that says "ALPHABETIZE BOARDS" and then be done. I'll pin that under "In My Dreams."

This week's winner is "L Weber." I wrote a little diatribe in this week's "Huppah Dreams": "Kids," I argued, "if it's important to you to have your friend marry you and the religion is irrelevant, just get them licensed by the state, or just have a non-religious wedding. No reason to endorse this Universal Life stuff!" "L Weber" responded: "Love, and agree wholeheartedly, with the 'Kids' note! Thank you! An Anglican priest … ."
I love the ecumenicism! "L Weber" gets a copy of Adam Kirsch's biography of British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, who was born a Jew but baptised into the Anglican Church as a boy, and who later told Queen Victoria, "Your Majesty, you know that in most editions of the Holy Bible there is the Old Testament and then there is the New Testament, and in between the two there is an empty, blank page. I am that blank page." There can be plenitude in such blankness.

Plus, i-cool has been clinically proven to maintain bone mineral density and bone mineral composition in menopausal women. Can i-cool be taken with other supplements?Yes. As with any nutritional supplement, please inform your healthcare professional before taking.

Mali Music - Ready Aim
Artist: Mali Music
Producer: Mali Music
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 3.8 ( 6 votes )
Promoting positive spiritual messages in an industry as fraught with danger and temptation as the music game may sound like a suicide mission, but "fear" evidently isn't in Mali Music's dictionary. On new promo single and DJBooth debut Ready Aim, the RCA Records singer/songwriter/producer invites the forces of darkness to give him their worst, confident that a higher power is watching his six. Over his own quietly intense boardwork, the Los Angeles representative shows us just how far he's willing to go in order to uplift listeners, dramatizing his struggle in impassioned verses and a memorable, overdubbed chorus. Like what you're hearing? This joint is available now for purchase on iTunes and, as always, you can keep it locked for all the latest from this promising Booth newcomer.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
This is the perfect spot for the fishing enthusiast or just to sit back and relax, you have found the right place! The house, right on the water, is on one level with no stairs to climb. Just an hour north of Tampa and St. Petersburg and minutes from Hernando Beach, restaurants, and shopping, this vacation rental is secluded but convenient. Only 20 minutes by boat to the Gulf of Mexico down the winding waters of the beautiful Weeki Wachee River. A jon boat two bikes and two (2) canoes are available for guest's use at no additional charge. Our home is just minutes from Weeki Wachee Springs State Park. This is a no smoking home.
Keywords: home,cabin,vacation,rental,waterfront,gulf,river,cottage,house, Florida west coast, Gulf coast,caruso1f@aol, Flip Caruso, 4076446451, Hushpuppy, dock,
A great cottage in a wonderful area full of wildlife. This cottage has everything that you'll need for your stay - it is clean, comfortable, well equipped, and nicely decorated. The Weeki Wachee area is just great for nature lovers and we enjoyed our daily walks, canoe trips, and kayaking along the river. There are many good restaurants in the area and shopping is cnear but not too close. You cannot go wrong here!
We had a wonderful time at the Weeki Wachee cottage. The cozy cottage was very modern, immaculately clean, had all the little extras that made it feel like a home away from home. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful all week. We especially enjoyed how easy it was to go fishing from the dock out back. We caught some delicious snapper.
We're already saving up to stay there again next year.
Thanks, Flip! It was a pleasure communicating with you and working it out so we could enjoy your great little Weeki Wachee cottage.
My husband and I could not believe the Hushpuppy cottage! It is so completely set up for living comfortable! The cottage was so much more than the pictures can show! Clean, nicely decorated, the bed was awesome, kitchen is set up better than my own! I even cooked more on vacation than at home! My husband even cooked! Flip has done an excellent job to make sure the home is comfortable, stylish, and everything you need is there. He was so accommodating, and concerned that we had everything we needed! I also love he allows pets!
We had a wonderful time while staying at this house for seven weeks in May and June 2014. Our favorite thing to do was to sit in screened-in back porch and watch the wildlife. It was great to see all the manatees swimming by in the canal. We didn't really expect to see any since it was already so late in the year, but spotted about a dozen during our stay.
The house very clean and updated, and it had everything we needed during our stay. The Internet was speedy, the bed comfy, and the kitchen had everything from a toaster oven to blender. The owners have obviously taken great care in making sure that the rental is well equipped and ready for their guests. Flip was very helpful and easy to get in touch with if we needed anything.
The location is great. It's just a bit off the main road, so it's nice and quiet. It's only a few minutes drive to Pine Island beach, Weeki Wachee Springs, and several parks. La Bella Napoli is about a mile away, and is a great place to pick up dinner. Tampa and Saint Petersburg are only about an hour away.
Our stay was great, and we can't wait to go back.
This was my second year staying at hushpuppy lane. I can't wait to come back next year. The house is centrally located and there is something for everyone to do. I personally spend most of my time on the gulf logging some bottom time or bending a rod. No complaints at all about modern accommodations. Plenty of room at the dock for my 23' boat. I would not hesitate to recommend this property to a friend or family member.
This well-kept home was unbelievably clean and comfortable and in excellent repair. The kitchen was better equipped than mine at home. The pictures don't do this home justice! The owner was always available and even called to see if we needed anything. Our security deposit was promptly returned.
We golfed 14 days, took cruises out of Tarpon Springs and Homossasa Springs. I swam with the manatees at Homossasa Springs. Sadly, we didn't see any from our dock although others in the neighbourhood did. i guess you have to stay home at the right time. We went to the State Fair in Tampa. We shopped. We went birding. There is a pair of bald eagles that we saw regularly just down the road. We found dog-friendly beaches for our dog. And we ate. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner at Brian's Place - delicious. We went to Becky Jack's 3 times for her delicious Crunchy Fish and the best key lime pie I ever ate. We even tried alligator bites from the mobile truck up the road. A word of advice - if you are going to buy groceries, get the discount cards at Win Dixie - we saved a fortune.
Lastly, we had awesome weather - like late spring or early summer. We were glad to miss
the bitter cold and snow at home.

Peavy reprieves 'pen
Padres ace throws complete game for sweep of Cincinnati
Greg Maddux smiled one of his Buddha smiles last March when asked how his friend Jake Peavy could work deeper into games, yet still be true to the blazing fastballs and sliders that made Peavy a Cy Young Award winner.
"You know how Peav will become more efficient? By losing some stuff," said Maddux, the retired pitching maestro destined for the Hall of Fame. "His stuff is so good, they don't put it in play enough."
Rather than wait for age to erode his fastball, Peavy is trying to streamline his work yet remain aggressive. The adjustment, tiny and tricky yet potentially huge, worked out yesterday in helping Peavy to throw his seventh career complete game, leading to a 3-1 victory that swept the Reds out of Petco Park.
"I pulled back just a hair on my fastball, kept some in reserve, and was able to throw the ball where I wanted it," Peavy said. "I did that on purpose. It's a fine line but sometimes I can have my best stuff and they hit a lot of foul balls.
"What Greg said is true. He is very rarely wrong. I'm working on it. I'm going to get better and certainly need to."
Peavy, who struck out eight, isn't making himself into a finesse pitcher, not even close, but because he was more efficient he "had more in the tank" when manager Bud Black asked him about getting the final three outs. Ensuring that closer Heath Bell wouldn't pitch a fourth consecutive day, Peavy finished what he started for the first time since April 2008, against the Dodgers.
After Jerry Hairston Jr. blooped a single with two outs, Peavy struck out Jay Bruce with his 121st pitch, a nasty slider.
"Some of my best fastballs were in the ninth," Peavy said.
Black admired the pitching, saying Peavy (3-5) changed speeds well and commanded fastballs, cut fastballs, sliders, curveballs and change-ups.
"He even dropped down a couple of times and threw a few almost sidearm," teammate Luis Rodriguez said.
Peavy threw 92 strikes. He hadn't thrown more than 84 strikes in any other game, according to Elias Sports Bureau. He allowed no walks for the first time since April 11. The only harmful hit among the four he allowed was Chris Dickerson's home run in the sixth, which sliced the score to 2-1.
Showing that he's still ornery on work days, Peavy jabbered with the Reds' Hairston in the sixth after Hairston slammed his helmet near first base. The helmet flew past Peavy, who had fielded a throw from first baseman Adrian Gonzalez.
"I said, 'Hey, man, easy,' " Peavy said. "He told me not to talk to him, and we just had a few words. Nothing to it. He sent word later through Gonzo that he's just passionate. You know me, I'm passionate, too."
When the Padres scored twice against Bronson Arroyo in the first via RBI singles by Kevin Kouzmanoff and Jody Gerut, Peavy's inclination to "pull back a hair" on his fastball and change speeds went from theory to reality.

35 year old man | Chicago, IL, USA | Seeking men 25-41 within 50 miles
Ahh, summer:)
Born and raised in Chicago, Ive been living in Phoenix this past decade. I just loved it, but my heart and pride remains here. So Im home. I'm an active, educated, sun-loving (yes sun!) guy who enjoys being outdoors. I'm humble and kind, and I want to be with a guy who cares about family and friends. If we share some qualities, all the better! But I love being challenged and learning from another. I work in the field of education; born and raised in the Midwest--settling back in Chicago after my summer in Guatemala this year (2013). I would love to meet someone who has a great, positive outlook on life and enjoys being active. My idea of a great time is going to local festivals, bike riding casually through the city streets and maybe ending at a local cafe or bar. I enjoy watching college sports-- love my Mizzou Tigers and Arizona Wildcats especially. I love hiking North Mountain when it's foggy--like in December--or even in the heat of the summer. There is something so peaceful about being there when no one else is. I do understand my outdoor activities will change a spot being in Chicago, but you'll find me any day of the year exploring my hometown again and seeing what's changed. I'd love a guy to reacquaint me with this amazing city. In Chicago I love nothing more than jogging along the lakefront, wandering the streets of the city or enjoying the thousands of street festivals. Plus, little weekend trips to Minneapolis or St. Louis are my favorite way to keep up with college friends. Since I am in education, I spend my summers staying active. Usually, I head down to Macomb to help my family on the farm. I think I really am half farmer/half city boy. I always thought you had to be one or the other, but nope. I'm both. Spending this summer 2013 in Guatemala studying Spanish and volunteering. I also enjoy spending my free time with my nieces--who are 2 and 4. I love my family.
Dining out , Gardening/Landscaping , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Dancing, Other types of exercise, Running, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Cats
La Grande Orange, Golds Gym, Gallo Blanco, Chelsea's Kitchen, Greenbelt in Scottsdale, Central PHX, Willo neighborhood
Reading, hiking, rowing, sunshine, big puffy headphones, the sunset, bookstores, margaritas, Zoo Lights.
Bike riding through the city, visiting my nieces, eating at new and awesome restaurants. This is what I love doing in my free time. And festivals are always awesome.
The Sonya Sotomayor autobiography and some nerdy academic stuff. I read newspapers like they're going out of business.

Re: Difference
s between scoring

Thank you thats very helpful. Do you if I can get this exact scoring anywhere? Is there something that is close to it if I can't? I know my fico and my vantage score and most FAKO's, but they run the gamate as being diffrent. Some I'm in the 570's some I'm in the 640's.
So the lender did not actually pull your scores? I guess that confused me.
No one has been able to buy their own Experian FICO score since February of 2009. Creditors can pull Experian and also there is a CU (PSECU) in Pennsylvania that supplies that information to it's members only. You can only buy true FICO scores at a few places. One place is here at myFICO. You can get both your Transunion and Equifax scores here although the TU version sold here in an older TU98 version.
At one time you could also purchase your Transunion score at transunioncs.com but no more. Wal Mart now offers a TU08 score to those who have their store card and the Discover version.
Equifax will still sell you a FICO score found here: www.equifax.com/web-myfico-products/
The VantageScore is used by a few lenders but I wouldn't rely on that.
From a BK years ago to:
EX - 3/11 pulled by lender- 835, EQ - 2/11-816, TU - 2/11-782

Used to be my favorite app for flyers, now stuck on redflag deals ad and won't budge. Can't go to Home page at all. :-(

Huge selection, but could improve the way it is organized. For example: Home & Garden contains way too many ads and should be 2 separate categories; start date seems to be the flyer sort order, and not alphabetically (or even by popularity), so your flyer could appear anywhere in the list etc. Prefer reebee or Flipp instead. PS - Was not aware this was owned by Redflagdeals at time of download. T

Mt. McKinley: Beren & Team Back in Talkeetna

Elevation: 348'
June 22, 2014 - 8:16 pm PT
It seems bizarre to have been in deep winter this morning at 14K Camp, waiting on the snow to stop, and now in summery Talkeetna. But here we are. The snow did let up enough for us to load up some BIG packs and make our way down the mountain. We descended under a beautiful crescent moon until the typical storm conditions at 11K Camp abated and we were able to trade the GPS for some sunscreen. The lower glacier was in fine condition and the team put in another solid effort, putting us at the runway ten minutes before our first plane landed. The journey today was tough, but all were up for the challenge and now are enjoying that first shower in civilization before a meal prepared on something other than a MSR stove. It's good to be back.
Thanks to a fantastic team for an amazing expedition and everyone back home who helped make it happen. We were lucky enough to get to see the view from up top and all the hard work paid off. Nice job everyone.

Mt. McKinley: Beren & Team Making Progress on Their Descent

Elevation: 14,200'
June 22, 2014 - 2:46 am PT
What a great day in the mountains yesterday! I'd reckon we had one of the nicest summit opportunities of the season and it was a real treat to be in position to make the most of it. We topped out on Denali with spectacular views in all directions and made it back to camp with as close to a solstice as you can get. The sun was still in the sky for an amazing sunset as we pulled into camp after a job well and safely done. Nice work everyone!
This morning weather rolled in from many directions and we chose to stall a bit before heading down the Buttress. The blowing snow let up a little in the afternoon and we made the most if it, getting down to 14K Camp and having dinner before some shut eye. Tomorrow we will keep the momentum rolling downhill if the weather allows and get just a little closer to coming home.

Hello, this is Jake calling from the summit of Denali with our crew. Everyone did a wonderful job today and I'm super proud of how everyone kept it together. We had a little flurry of conditions in the morning and then had just about the most beautiful day you could imagine on top. Thanks to everybody back home for the support. And now we are gonna get down to the business of getting down, so we will call when we get back to camp and look forward to seeing everybody soon, alright. Bye.

Hello, this is Leon, Katie and Jake up at 17K Camp. We moved today up the Buttress. We dealt with a little wind and a little bit of snow, but the team did super well.
