PANAMA CITY — City, county and other government boards won't be gagging the public if Senate President Don Gaetz can help it.
The Niceville Republican roundly supports a bill (SB50) that would ensure the public has a right to speak at board meetings. Gaetz co-sponsored the bill last year, which passed the state Senate but got tripped up in the House and never received a vote. He's confident it will clear the Senate again and hopes it can get enough House votes.
"I think the bill stands on its own merits. This is a fundamental right. This is the Norman Rockwell picture of the American citizen standing up in a public meeting to express his views," Gaetz said. "And to deny that right is un-American."
The bill's now taking its third trip through the Legislature and already is speeding through the Senate. Sen. Joe Negron, R-Stuart, sponsored it again this year. It cleared its first two committees on unanimous votes, most recently passing Negron's Appropriations Committee on Thursday on a 16-0 vote. The bill passed the Senate on a unanimous vote last year.
Gaetz said he's feeling more confident about the bill on the House side because some of the lawmakers who opposed it have been "term-limited out."
Still, its House equivalent (HB23) has not received a hearing, and Rep. Marti Coley, R-Marianna, who ranks second in the House behind the House speaker, isn't too keen on the legislation.
"If it went to the floor tomorrow, the way it stands, I would not be supportive," she said.
Coley said if the bill moves through committee, then she'd look at it again, but added she has "great reservations" about the legislation.
"I think it is interfering too much with local control," she said.
Coley said she had a problem with the Legislature telling the cities and counties how they must behave.
"I believe that we need to be very careful in being too heavy handed when it comes to local control," she said.
Other impediments
Gaetz said last year the Florida League of Cities (FLC) and the Florida Association of Counties (FAC) were not friendly to the bill, but he and Negron modified it to make it more palatable.
That still wasn't enough to appease the House.
"I think in general there were some local government officials who just didn't want citizens to have the right to speak," Gaetz said, later adding, "There were local governments who felt very strongly that it would disrupt public meetings or somehow get in the way of public business if citizens were allowed to speak."
Gaetz also pointed to the court case that precipitated the bill. In 2010, the First District Court of Appeal ruled the state Sunshine Law doesn't give the public a right to speak at meetings; its ruling noted "open meeting" doesn't equate to "right to speak."
The case, which came out of Pensacola, was an instance where a local government board refused public comment.
"I thought that was an amazing decision of the court because it would seem to me the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees that right," Gaetz said.
FAC not opposed
So far this year the FAC has not opposed the legislation; in fact, in concept, it supports the bill.
"I don't think we have a formal position because it won't impact our counties in the sense that they already conduct public hearings and recognize the value and the incredible importance of hearing from their constituents," said Cragin Mosteller, FAC spokeswoman.
She added, "It's very important the public have the opportunity to contribute to the legislative process on the county and city level."
The FLC did not immediately respond for comment.
Sen. Greg Evers, R-Baker, said he supports the bill "whole heartedly" and believes the public has a right to speak at meetings.
On the House side, Rep. Jimmy Patronis, R-Panama City, said if the bill reaches the floor he would vote for it. While instances where the public has been denied the right to speak may be few and far between, Patronis feels the right should be preserved. He said if the cities and counties aren't protecting it, it's the state's job to intervene.
"Not allowing the public to comment at a meeting is pretty silly," he said. "I think that the legislation does have its place. We just want to make sure it doesn't go too far. We don't want try to be too punitive, but at the same time we want to make sure we get the attention of the cities and counties that may be guilty of not abiding by this practice."
Advocates optimistic
The First Amendment Foundation in Tallahassee is pushing hard for the bill's passage. The 2010 court decision took foundation president Barbara Petersen by surprise. Before that, the courts had held the public had a right to speak at these meetings, she said.
"Basically what SB50 does is codify what we always thought was the law, and that is that the public must be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard," she said.
Petersen said on the House side, she had heard of no one publicly opposing the bill. But it has sat inert during pre-session meetings, though that didn't concern her. She said the House and Senate work "very differently" and few bills in the House have seen much movement.
"Hopefully the third time's the charm," she said. "I'm confident it will get through this year."
"I think that [House Speaker Will Weatherford, R-Wesley Chapel] … will be amenable to this bill and I'm confident that it's going to pass the House," she said.
Locally, Bay County allows public comment at the beginning of commission meetings for agenda items. For anything not on the agenda, the public can address the commission at the meeting's end, said Valerie Sale, county spokeswoman. Each speaker receives three minutes, but that time can be extended if he or she has additional points to make.
"We certainly want to give folks an opportunity to address the board about any issue," she said.

Drama, Comedy
Inspired by a news story the director Pang Ho-cheung noticed while still a high school student, The Exodus tells the darkly comic tale of a world in which the female population are slowly, and methodically doing away with their male counterparts. Sergeant Jim Yip (Simon Yam) is constantly being harped on by his mother in law for not being more successful and wealthy, and largely ignored by his uncaring wife. Likewise, he is largely seen as an outcast by his colleagues on the force, and doesn't have any real friends to speak of. When Sergeant Yip is called on to take over the interrogation of Kwan (Nick Cheung), a man found spying on females in a public restroom, it initially seems like a typical peeping tom case. When Kwan reveals that he was actually attempting to gather evidence about a clandestine group of women plotting to wrestle control of society away from men, the detectives in charge of the case dismiss him as mentally unbalanced. But later, when Kwan alters his deposition, Sergeant Yip believes there may be more to the case than meets the eye and quickly sets out to investigate. What he discovers proves a terrifying new take on the term battle of the sexes. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Not too late for year-end cash flow planning
One of the most significant factors affecting the cash flow of a small business is taxes. This is a subject that comes up very frequently with our clients as they look to better manage the cash flow representing the lifeline of their business.
Answering questions like, "Are we doing everything we can to take advantage of the benefits the tax code allows?" are key themes in our planning meetings.
If you are like me and have done proper tax planning throughout the year, you are probably surprised at how much more your 2013 tax bill is going to be versus last year. I believe it is both an honor and a privilege to live in this country, and therefore, we must pay taxes.
That being said, I do not believe in paying any more taxes than is legally required. I will do everything in my power to find and use all legal deductions possible, as you should. 2013 gives us a unique ability to maximize deductions that may not be available in 2014.
There are some interesting deductions that may expire after this year that a small-business owner should seriously consider. Bonus depreciation and Section 179 expensing should be your friends before the end of 2013. Bonus depreciation allows for a 50 percent depreciation in the first year for purchases of new qualifying property, as long the property is put in service before the end of the year.
This can be a significant tax savings over the normal Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) depreciation method. This can also help your business with cash flow issues, as you can finance the purchase and still take advantage of the full deduction.

Another post i'm afraid, i'm going to run out of favours shortly with the amount of questions i'm asking!
I've had problems with my youngest childs internet connection for a few years now, and would like to try and resolve.
I was considering whether to extend a hard wired ethernet connection via a switcher (as i already have a ethernet lead downstairs in the lounge directly below my childs room which runs from my wireless router/main pc in the conservatory) and was going to put this into a 3 way switcher, and have one going to my media streamer, one to the PS3, and the other going up through the ceiling to my childs room.
However, it would be easier and cheaper for me to try and work on the wireless if possible.
I've spent money on 2 different types of usb wireless dongles in the past, i think the 'G' was the fastest i tried, however i've never tried an N which i believe is the fastest?
However, i've just tried my phone (Galaxy Note 2) which i believe has an N card inside, and that was struggling opening web pages, had 1/2 bars at best, and wouldn't stream Netflix without buffering/stuttering.
I really need a decent internet signal so that my child can watch movies via Net Flix and BBC IPlayer etc.,
My childs room is at the front of the house and the Main PC/Wireless Router (Netgear WNR200 N) is in the conservatory on the rear of the house (sorry i stated the obvious, as most conservatories are on the rear!).
I've looked at PC World and there appears to be some quite expensive N Type USB Wireless dongles, however i still don't believe this will be sufficient.
I have another PC in the Dining Room which i installed a Wireless N PCI Card and that works fine, but its at the rear of the house just behind the wall of the conservatory.
Would you have any other suggestions i.e., internal PCI better than a USB? of the same signal/reception i.e., N?
Do they still do those wireless plugs that you plug into a plug socket to extend the signal around the house?
Thank you in advance.

Marco Polo thought Sri Lanka was the finest island of it's size in the world and you wont have trouble agreeing with him once you've explored any of Sri Lanka's delights. Beaches The costal stretch out of Colombo off Kaluthra , Beruwela, Bentota and Hikkaduwa offers palm – lined golden beaches. Culture Try the Kandyan dances in Kandy. Ruins There's more than enough to see at the ruined ancient cities of Anuradhapura and Pollonnaruwa. Scenery Head for the Hill country to Kandy and Nuwara Eliya where the plains and the coast fades away to reveal gorgeous rolling hills often carpeted with tea plantation. Wild Life The island is teeming with bird life, plethora of nature reserves such as Yala, Kaudulla and Bundala is home to elephants, Leopards, bears and deer to name just a few. However what makes the difference from to all other destination is the added bonus of welcoming friendly people, Good food, Pleasant places to stay and reasonably low costs.
Geography: An island of approximately 65,610 sq.km. Sri Lanka lies in the Indian Ocean off the southern tip of the coast of India. It lies between 5° 55' and 9° 55' north of the equator and between the eastern longitudes 79° 42' and 81° 52'.
The cost line gives way to lowland plains, growing rice and coconut. In the mid country rubber vies with gems. While green carpet of tea clothe the central mountain ranges reaching heights of some 2,432 meters.
Population: Nearly 19 million, 74% Sinhalese,18% Tamils,8% Moors, Malays, Burghers. Literacy rate average 91% - One of the highest is Asia.
Climate: Warm and fine year around . Average temperature around 27° in Colombo going down as the land raises to the hill country to as low as 10°.
The island has 02 wet seasons between may and July in the south west and December / January in the north east.
Climatically Sri Lanka has no off season. Bright sunny worm days and the rule and are common even during the wet season. Sea temperature as a rule remain around 27°.
Main Language(s): Communication is rarely a problem because English is widely spoken in all parts of the country. Place names and signboards are in the national languages and often in English. Official language;- Sinhala, Tamil and English. National Language Sinhala and Tamil. Time Zone: Sri Lanka's standard time is 6 hours ahead of Greenwich.
Few sightseeing options
Sri Lanka's largest and most important city, Colombo was the capital of the country until the seat of the parliament shifted to Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte. Today, this city of one million plus population remains the political and commercial hub of Sri Lanka.
Lying on the shores of the Indian Ocean in west Sri Lanka is practically a long coastal strip extending 10-12 km south from the central area. The central artery is Galle Road which runs all the way south along the coast to the town of the same name as the A2 Highway. For postal convenience the city is divided into zones numbered 1 to 15 which are not necessarily arranged in contiguous numerical order. The most important are Colombo 1 better known as Fort, which is the main commercial area, Colombo 11 or Pettah, the crowded bazaar area barely a five minute walk from Fort and Colombo 7, earlier known as Cinnamon Gardens and now the fashionable residential area of the city.
Colombo is one of Asia's most fascinating, blending as it does the past with the present. On one hand there is the legacy of the original trading settlers the Portuguese, Dutch and the British evident in the churches and monuments, names and religions, costumes and food and smatterings of their languages which have been absorbed by the Sri Lankans while on the other are the modern structures that house bustling commercial, banking and shopping areas and the galaxy of big five star hotels offering night clubs and entertainment. Whether it be cinema halls, theatres, art galleries, museums, health resorts, yacht and rowing clubs Colombo has something to cater to all tastes. More than anything else the friendly hospitality of its people makes a visit to this exotic and most interesting city a worthwhile experience.
Near by Places to visit:
Kandy - 115 kilometres from Colombo
Visitor's statistics prove the point that "No visit to Sri Lankan is complete without a visit to Kandy". After Colombo city Kandy is the most popular destination for foreign visitors and with good reason too. The last seat of the Sinhala kings, who ceded power to the British in 1815 after many battle with the western colonial forces. Kandy retains much of the old charm and tradition of the Sri Lankan life stile.
Among the most picturesque cities in the island, the importance of Kandy is mainly due to it being the home of the "Dalada Maligawa" or The Temple of the Tooth - Which houses the sacred Tooth Relic of lord Budhha.
After the temple of the tooth relic, the most famous land mark of Kandy is it's lake in the centre of the city. The old buildings at it's edge near the temple of the tooth was the Queen's bath. On the other side of the temple, housed in part of the former Royal Palace, is the Kandy Museum which houses excellent exhibits from the Kandyan period of Sri Lanka's history.
The Peradeniya Gardens is easily one of the best of it's kind in the world. The many beautiful avenues will lead one to sections which provide a burst of tropical colour. The great lawns highlight huge tropical trees while you will be surprised at the variety of bamboo that can be found in one place.
Visit to a spice garden will give you a first hand introduction to the trees, plants and creepers that produce the special spices of Sri Lanka. The Herbarium grows many of the plants used for the traditional Ayurvedic pharmacopoeia.
Hill Country ( Nuwara Eliya) - 190 kilometres from Colombo
Hill country is the heart of the island. Rises from 3000 ft to over 8000 ft will surround you with velvety green freshness all around. As you travel you will see the vegetation change from tropical profusion to gentle sprawling rubber plantation to cool green hills, the home of Ceylon Tea.
The nostalgia of the empire builders is reflected in Nuwara Eliya. The town is decorated with buildings ranging in style from Georgian to Queen Anne.
Parks. Trout streams, an 18 hole Golf course complete with gorse, the post office with the clock spire, the Anglican Church with a lych-gate are few of the highlights of the town.
Piduruthalagala, the islands highest peak is a short track away and the breath taking view is worth the climb and six miles from the town is an excellent botanical garden, The hakgala Botanical Gardens at Hakkgala.
Hortian Plains, (27 km) is a nature reserve with a charm of it's own. Commanding a panoramic view of the surrounding area it contains rare and beautiful plants and trees and baker's fall, a magnificent water fall in the high altitude and the cool climate.
Ancient City's (Sigiriya / Annuraddhapura and Pollonnaruwa)
The ruined cutie's of Sri Lanka take the visitor back through many centuries during which a unique civilisation flourished. Anuradhapura, Sigiriya and Pollonnaruwa, Extending from the 3rd centiure BC to 12 Century AD record a grandeur unsurpassed.
Sigiriya was an interregnum of great excitement. Built by King Kasyapa who killed his father to gain his wealth , this literal fortress in the sky is a masterpiece of construction, artistry and irrigation. It was a resort pleasure, a citadel of beauty and fortress of strength. Sigiriya has been made famous throughout the world for the frescoes on it's rock wall. The heavenly maddens, preserved as part of the world's artistic heritage.

Golden Beaches : (Kaluthra / Berueela / Bentota and Hikkaduwa )
Sun worshipers prepare to stretch out, curl your toes in the fine white sand and get a glorious tan on sun-drenched. Palm - caressed beaches that adorn over a 1000 miles of the coast of Sri Lanka.
It's paradise of unlimited sun, sea sand and surf all year around. The coat often twists and curves into little nooks, bays and coves, ideal romantic hideaways.
Diving in these waters takes you in to a entirely different and equally delightful world, scattered with fantastic coral formations and colourful fish. You may also com across interesting sunken wrecks at certain points along the coast. Don't look out for sharks, they are unheard of in this part of the world.
National Parks : (Yala / Kaudulla / Wasgamuwa)
The jungles of Sri Lanka abound in a variety of wildlife which is surprising for an island of it's size in the tropics. From ancient days the elephants and peacocks from the Sri Lankan jungles were price exports to have kingdoms of East and West. Apart from these well known examples of the fauna, a visit to the Sri Lankan jungles is to enter a whole new world where nature has largely stayed still. This will include animals such wild elephants, wild boar, wild buffalo, bear, deer, crocodiles and if you are lucky leopards.
The Colombo city is filled with restaurants, which serves a range of international cuisines at very attractive prices.

Sri Lanka's deep-rooted and ancient civilisation endows the island with a legacy of colourful national and religious festivals. Hardly a month goes by without a unique national or religious celebration of diverse cultures and religions, celebrated with the flair of people with a genius for pageantry and ceremony.

Oscars 2013 Behind-the-Scenes: From Kim Kardashian to Heidi Klum (PHOTOS)

Alright... been thinking/planning my next build. My 2600K is getting older now and I will donate it to my son...
I've decided, after going back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, to give AMD another shot. I know intel runs cooler, cheaper and outperforms AMD in most, if not all ways for their higher-end chips and even some categories in their mid-range chips but I still have a soft spot for AMD despite the fact that they don't seem to be moving forward very well lately. I think the FX-8350 (barely) outperforms my 2600K so I think I won't be disappointed. Anyway, here it is:
Cooler Master HAF XM
Corsair Gold AX850 (overkill but I will likely add another graphic card in a year)
ASUS Sabertooth 990FX
ASUS GTX670-DC2 w/4GB VRAM
2 Mushkin Chronos Deluxe 240GB/Sata III SSD (RAID 0)
G.Skill Sniper 1600, 32 GB (I know, should have angled for the 1866 but in most cases it shouldn't matter)
2 Seagate 1TB Enterprise drives (RAID 0)
Corsair H60 cooler
XIGMATEK FCB 200MM fan
Not cheap... but with an SSD (huge upgrade to me) even if the 8350 isn't as fast as an I7, my system will feel supreme to me. With all the RAM I can have a ramdisk, should I desire it, but it will also be handy for me when running multiple web servers (JBOSS and others) at the same time... I know that much RAM is overkill but... why not. My current build has lasted 2 years easily. I don't see why a build with an SSD shouldn't last even longer.
I am contemplating adding an additional drive for "junk"... low power green drive... and another plextor external DVD drive (because the case has no drive and I would be giving it to my son - my computer is held up near the ceiling so it was awkward to insert/remove DVDs in an internal drive).

Now, visitors aren't just shrieking at the sight of zombies — they're shooting them with paintball guns at Saint Lucifer's Haunted Asylum in
They're not just listening to ghost stories. They're learning how to do their own paranormal investigations on ghost-hunting overnight stays at
And they're not just snaking through a haunted house on a long line, screaming as a bloody monster climbs out of a coffin. Instead, they're paying extra to be stuck in a room where they must complete tasks and puzzle out challenges in order to escape, as in the "Trapped" attraction at Knott's Berry Farm in
"If you refuse three times, the experiment is terminated," said spokesman Travis Claytor. The experiments "may or may not involve live animals or creepy crawlies," he added. "There may or may not be something in there for germaphobes. Psychologically this is one of the most invasive experiences you'll ever have. I was there Friday on opening night and there were several people who could not make it through."
Pat Konopelski, president of the Haunted Attraction Association, says the new intensity and increased interaction is simply the maturing of an industry that started out 25 years ago "scaring people with rubber masks and plastic knives. Every year people came back and wanted more."
So now, he said, "not only are zombies jumping out and scaring you, but you have to turn it into a challenge, an interactive game." Konopelski's Shocktoberfest attraction in
Konopelski also planned a haunted house tour where guests could walk through in the nude. Local officials put the kibosh on the concept, but you can still go through wearing underwear. The lack of clothes, he says, "heightens the vulnerability of the guests."

In case you can't manage to take a selfie while you're scared out of your wits, the Erebus Haunted Attraction in
Here are some other Halloween-themed destinations, events and attractions around the country.
Because of power outages and other issues from Superstorm Sandy, organizers were forced to cancel last year's Village Halloween Parade, which typically attracts 2 million spectators and 50,000 costumed marchers. The parade now faces a funding shortfall; as of early October, more than half the needed $50,000 had been raised on Kickstarter. If the balance can be secured, the parade is scheduled for Oct. 31, kicking off at 7 p.m.,
Other Halloween events in the Big Easy include a Vampire Ball thrown by the official Anne Rice Vampire Lestat Fan Club. A link from the author's home page states that she will be attending the ball this year.
A brand-new Halloween parade in the French Quarter, Krewe of Boo, kicks off Oct. 26, at 6 p.m. followed by a Spook Fest party for costumed attendees inside the Mardi Gras World attraction.

In California, Universal Hollywood debuted a new maze this season inspired by the heavy metal band Black Sabbath's "13" album. The park also offers a "scare zone" populated by actors dressed as the nasty Chucky doll from the direct-to-DVD sequel "Curse of Chucky," and a maze incorporating elements from the "Insidious" films.

THESE PEDALS COMBINE GOOD QUALITY, FAIRLY LOW WEIGHTand a great value especially when caught on sale at Nashbar. Have had Dura Ace pedals several times but for the 10 grams difference in weight vs. price, I had to go Ultegra. Also tried 105 recently, Ultegra hits the sweet spot all the way around.

Clips wear too fast!
By Fun 2 cycle
from East Coast U.S.A.
The clips were properly adjusted to easily clip in and unclip! The show much wear after just two light rides! Very little un-clipping; I definitely do not walk in my shoes! I need to find a more durable road clip for my shoe! I like the pedals my only complaint is clips excessive wear with minimal clip ins and out.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Brand New and Better than Expected
By Peter
from San Mateo, CA
I knew I wanted these pedals. They are an upgrade from my Shimano 105s - whose axle was bent after 2 years of use. This was the best price. AND, the box included a set of cleats. I didn't expect that. - "Cleats included" should be added to the product description. That adds another $22 of value.
Great Pedals
By George
from Buffalo NY
Nice lightweight pedals for the Shimano lovers who don't want to spend a lot on the Dura Ace components. Very easy to get in and out with tension adjustments.

I am a bit confused by something...why do the non-dairy creamers, like Coffee Mate and International Delight, all have trans-fat? It seems the dairy ones, are healthier right? Because thereis no trans-fat...
At times like these, how do we decide upon the vegan friendly products when they are more risky for our heart and health?
What about using soy, rice or almond milk in your coffee?
Despite its name, "non-dairy creamer" is not dairy-free. It is made with cow's milk, and yes, hydrogenated (trans) fats. Always check the ingredients as names and labels can be very misleading.
Susan Levin, MS, RDPCRM Director of Nutrition Education
I used to take both sugar and creamer in my coffee until I worked somewhere that neither was available so I stopped using them. Now coffee doesn't taste right to me with anything in it. That said, yesterday when I was in Whole Foods getting some Soy milk, I noticed some liquid coffee creamer next to the plant milks in the "dairy" case. Because I don't use anything like that I didn't look closely at them but perhaps one of those products would work for you.
Silk makes both a soy based and a coconut milk based coffee creamer. The coconut milk based is great and is not coconut flavored nor sweet. These are thicker than "milk", and do not curdle. I also use this occ. in cooking, as "cream". They are processed, though, but better than most alternatives.
Sorry, the above-named coconut milk based creamer that I highly recommend is NOT by Silk ..... It is by So Delicious.
My dad used to take coffee with cream/milk and sugar. Then, many years ago, the dr told him he needed to lose weight. They discussed his daily intake - he was having 5 to 6 cups of coffee per day. By cutting the milk and sugar from his coffee, he lost weight right off with no other changes.
For me, I can't use the "non dairy" creamers as the hydrogenated fats cause nasty digestive issues - Learned that the hard way some years ago I figure if I need to hide the flavor of the coffee with sugar and other stuff, then maybe I really don't actually like coffee as much as I thought, instead I like the sweet flavor of the cream and sugar Now, I just drink a good rousing caffeine free cup of herbal tea (Bengal Spice has a nice kick to it in the morning) no cream or sugar needed.
My family members use the Coffeemate creamers. The small container, after it is emptied, comes in handy for storage. I rip the label off, wash it out and let it dry, then fill with nutritional yeast. It's handy to just flip the lid and sprinkle on my steamed vegetables. I also put ground flax seed in one in the fridge to easly add it to my oatmeal. (I keep what won't fit in the Coffeemate container in the freezer.) I found that if you flip the lid upside down and set it on the bottle, it works as a handy funnel which helps to fill it.
Here's another suggestion for enjoying coffee without some of the flavored dairy creamers. Try a little cinnamon or nutmeg or the spices of your choice. Yes, you may want some sugar, but you may be able to for go the cream and get an exotic treat!
Thanks so much for the feedback everyone, these ideasare great =)
I'd love to know more about where I could find the soy or coconut coffee creamers. These sound so interesting! I realize they are perhaps still processed...but if I'm correct, they don't have trans-fat?
I am in northern Virginia at the moment, so there's places like Whole Foods near me. Would I be able to find these here?
Also, which plant milk do most people seem to prefer? I find that soy is the most common to be found, also it's the only option in coffee shops. But I've heard great things about coconut and maybe rice milk?
I can't have almond milk as I'm allergic, but I don't have allergies to coconut.
Whole Foods would be the perfect place to find these things as well as other vegan friendly foods.
The So Delicious creamer is made from coconut milk, has 0 trans fat, 0 fat and only 1gram each sugar and carb. Most any HFS should have,as well as some regular grocery stores. I also have access to a large commissary, and they also carry it which means people were asking for it, as their organic stuff is hit or miss.
DianeJ wrote:
So Delicious is the only non-dairy creamer I was ever able to really take to - the soy ones always leave a beany taste for me! And I admit that cream in my coffee was the last dairy to go for me .
Best thing is to find a beverage you enjoy black - or green? Tea, cafe, whatever it is you will be able to change your tastes in a few days or weeks if devoted and consistent and it is SO worth it! Take it from someone who knows!

Since this review was originally published, Windows 7 has been superseded by Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. Windows 9 is expected to replace both next year but not before another major update, Windows 8.1 Update 2 (or Windows 8.2) is released.
Its first Service Pack was unveiled on February 22 2011 and can be downloaded here. According to Microsoft, the update includes "previously released security, performance, and stability updates for Windows 7". It also controversially removed the BrowserChoice.eu feature that allowed other alternative browsers to be offered to customers.
Also on the list were support for Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX), a 256-bit instruction set extension for processors, "new improvements to features and services in Windows 7, such as improved reliability when connecting to HDMI audio devices, printing using the XPS Viewer, and restoring previous folders in Windows Explorer after restarting".
Other minor updates include:
- Windows Management Framework 3.0 (December 2012): it delivered updated versions of Windows PowerShell, Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) and Windows Remote Management (WinRM).
- Windows 7 SP1 Platform Update (February 2013): it updated Internet Explorer to v10 as well as rolled out a number of wholesale enhancements.
- Windows 7 Enterprise hotfix rollup (March 2013): A compendium of hotfix updates that focused on the businesss market.
A complete list of downloads available for the 10 versions of Windows 7 on the market can be found here.
Windows 7 is now on Microsoft's end-of-support list with the mainstream support ending on January 13, 2015. Despite this, you can still buy consumer and business computers running Windows 7. The OS is still surprisingly popular; it is the best selling operating system on Amazon (UK) and the most prevalent globally, capturing more than 50% of the market share.
A must-read list of features we've written over the past five years for Windows 7 include:
- Nearly 100 Windows 7 tips, tricks and secrets
- 18 things Windows 7 does that Vista doesn't
- Windows 7: the complete guide
- Best free Windows 7 downloads
If you've come to this review because you're thinking of buying a new PC with Windows 7 pre-installed, you'll have to hurry. Microsoft has announced that it will stop supplying certain versions of Windows 7 - those being Home Basic, Home Premium and Ultimate - to PC makers after October 31. After that date, retailers will move to selling remaining stock, but they won't be getting any in, paving the way for PCs pre-loaded with Windows 8.
Microsoft has yet to announce a cut off point for Windows 7 Professional, so if you don't mind going pro, you can consider your deadline extended - for now. Windows 7 Mainstream (meaning free) support ends on January 2015, and extended support will end on January 14, 2020.

Some folks think there is nothing easier than picking a cycling bicycle. Simply finding the bike they like the look of is all there is to it, right? As long as it is comfortable that's all you need to worry about. The truth is that there is a lot more to finding the right bicycle these days than there used to be. With cycling becoming more popular in almost every area of life (transportation, lifestyle, sports, hobbies) there are more bicycles than ever to choose from. Using a bike as the main method of transport is quickly becoming popular. While many people cycle as a hobby. If you want to know those important things to look out for when selecting an electric bike kit, read the following.
The first thing you should think about, which is pretty obvious, needs to be the cost. You will also be thinking about where you plan on riding your bike, as well as how often you are going to ride, but before you think about any of that you are going to have to think about the cost.
If you are new to the gas powered bicycle buying business, you will see that the price can be anywhere from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars. That doesn't mean all bicycles are going to cost that much, so don't worry; there is no reason why you can't find a great bicycle that is in your price range. Auctions are one of the best places to find a great bike that will be fairly inexpensive and still have everything you need.
You should always make sure to give the bike a test run before committing to buying it, though. You should never buy something you haven't tried out for at least a few minutes. It's the same concept as buying a used car, there's no way you would take it without testing it.
The same rule applies to a bicycle. You really need to do this if you are going to spend a lot of money on the bicycle, and if you are going to ride the bicycle a lot. Make sure the bike is perfect for you. Physical fit is easy to determine, but you also need to find a bike that ìfitsî your riding style. You would never want to ride a bicycle motor kit that was uncomfortable for you.
Just exactly how many gears do you think youíll use? Choose according to how youíll ride; mountainous areas require more gears than flat land areas do. You canít evaluate the bike only by the number of gears it has. You may never have cause to use all the gears. Don't waste your money on something you won't use. Know how youíll ride your bike; make sure you have the correct gears for traveling, especially when this is your main mode of transport.
The options and technologies available for biking are overwhelming as you search for a new bicycle. Your choices range from safety issues to those of fashion. You can feel unsure of yourself, and a bit overwhelmed, as you attempt to purchase a new bike. The good news is that, with a little research, you can make a very informed decision about which bicycle engine kit is best for you.
Before heading out to the store, learn a little bit about the available choices. The peace it will offer during shopping makes it very worthwhile.

A few days ago Obama issued a message tomobilize the troops for 2010.
You can seethe video in its entirety here if you're an insomniac...or you can save yourself the trouble since I cut to the chase below:
"It will be up to each of you to make sure that the young people, African Americans, Latinos and women, who powered our victory in 2008 stand together once again." "If you help us do that -- if you help us make sure that first-time voters in 2008 make their voices heard again in November -- then together we will deliver on the promise of change and hope and prosperity for generations to come."
You see, Obama had a one-night stand with certain voters back in '08, and at the end of it he said "I'll call you." He kept his promise...its a call to action.
Man oh man, I can see the campaign pamphlets now...
Sure, this response is a bit hyperbolic, but the brazen nature of such hyperbole pales in comparison to a sitting president's appeal to minorities to flip on their Obamaton switch in what is supposed to be some sort of "post-racial presidency."
To be sure, the demographics he mentions did indeed "power" his victory, but the teleprompter forgot to let him know that such a strategy for a Democratic victory is a glass that is half empty.
The other half, being all the independents and Republicans that chose to give him a shot (and those who sat on their hands and refused to be a de facto vote for McCain) and are now suffering buyers remorse, is the half of the equation he poured out into the gutter the moment he decided to govern less like the center-left guy he painted himself to be and more like Howard Dean on crazy pills.
I will say this, at least the Democrats don't dance around the fact that they hold the minority vote with an iron fist.
I would love see what might happen if a Republican would say anything remotely close to what Obama said, but for "their people"....Whoever the hell that is supposed to be.
They wouldn't do it, because racists concern and obsess themselves with race.
Besides, if they did the liberals and the media would have to invent new bigot-tarring "ism's" to satiate the need to devour their "racist" right-wing carcass in the court of public opinion.

You may now check in for your flight from 48 hours to 2 hours before the scheduled departure time. We have numerous check-in options for you to choose from.Save time by checking in online or on your mobile phone. Or simply visit the airport and check-in using our new age Kiosk machines and avoid long queues at the check-in counter. Other check-in options are also easily available to you. Read more to avail of a check-in option most convenient to you.
Check-in counters for our flights will be closed at 45 minutes prior departure for domestic flights and 60 minutes for international flights.
For international travel:
Jet Airways brings Kiosk Check-in, a first in the Indian Aviation. Now, check-in the way the world does. With our new age Kiosks, print your Boarding Pass at the touch of a screen. Kiosk Check-in is available at Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad and Chandigarh airports. So, next time when you are traveling - as a frequent flyer or a first time flyer - with only hand baggage and an eTicket, use Kiosk Check-in.
With a view to ease the process of check-in, Jet Airways has introduced "check-in while walk-in" (Roving Check-in agent) at Mumbai whereby a guest can be checked-in by the agent with the help of a hand held interface device and a hip printer.The Roving Agent is like a check-in counter on the move. This will help guests as they can now bypass long queues. The mobile agent can quickly access and verify the travel reservation details of the guest, complete check-in functions and generate a boarding pass, either Première or Economy, and book them on their choice of seats."Check-in while walk in" will allow the agent to handle a single guest with eTicket or coupon ticket, a single guest with same day return flight with or without return boarding pass, two guests with the same or different surnames, reissue of boarding pass in case it is lost or not printed properly.
Guest with baggage has to be redirected to counter, however, boarding pass can be issued and the baggage can be added at the counter.This facility is available for domestic flights at: Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, Chandigarh, Goa and Pune.
If you have a confirmed ticket and will be traveling with only hand baggage, bid adieu to long queues at the airport. Jet Airways now brings Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Indore and Mumbai airports closer to you.
Guests traveling with hand baggage and a confirmed ticket need not report at the airport hours before their flight departure. All you need to do is to drop in at our conveniently located city offices and check-in as early as 24 hours prior to your flight departure. City Check-in facility will not be available 2 hours before the departure. Our staff at the special City Check-in counters will hand over your boarding pass and hand baggage tags.
Please ensure you report at the airport at least 45 minutes (Domestic flights) and 60 minutes (International flights) prior to the scheduled departure time. Then, proceed to the security lounge at the airport and get ready to board your flight.
Guests traveling on Check fares or any discounted fare ticket where photo identification card is mandatory will not be allowed to avail the city check-in facility. However, all JetPrivilege members traveling on check fares or any other discounted fare types will be allowed to city check-in provided the JetPrivilege card and photo identification card are produced.
Traveling somewhere and getting back the same day? Get checked-in just once and save yourself the trouble of going through the check-in process twice.
You can get your boarding pass for the return flight at the first point of check-in. For example, if you fly Mumbai-Delhi-Mumbai the same day, you can get your boarding pass for your return flight at Mumbai.
You can also have your return or onward boarding pass issued if you are returning the next day or travelling onward the next day within 24 hours of departure. (This is subject to the guest having no baggage for the return or onward sector.) This service is available only when both the origin and return stations are computerised.
Please note that return check-in for international sectors is not permitted. Onward through check-in will be done from domestic to international and international to domestic for connecting flights.
Guests can also get their return or onward boarding passes issued for travel held on another airline but returning on Jet Airways. This is subject to the guest having no baggage for the return or onward sector and this facility is only available when both the origin and return stations are computerised.
Guests who have Boarding Passes for onward or same day return flights issued from Airports will not be able to change their routing for that journey through contact centre.
Guests who have been through checked in by our partner airlines and given through boarding passes with baggage tagged to the final domestic destination, must complete their immigration and custom formalities at the port of entry. Post immigration, guests are requested to collect their checked-in baggage and proceed to the Jet Airways check-in counter for screening the same.
Incase of Inter-terminal transfers, guests must hand over their baggage to Jet Airways staff at the International terminal itself and then proceed onward for transfer to the domestic Terminal. The international airline boarding passes need not be exchanged for new boarding passes. Guests will then proceed to board the Inter-terminal coach for transfer to the domestic terminal.
Check-in usually starts 180 minutes before departure. Guests are requested to report at least three hours in advance before the scheduled departure for international flights to avoid inconvenience. Check in counters will be closed 60 minutes prior to the departure of the flight.
We offer Early Check-in for our guests flying from Singapore.
