The end of winter was marked with a different kind of migration as the snowbirds visiting Mexico Beach flocked to the El Governor Motel for the 10th annual appreciation luncheon.
Acting as coordinator for her fourth year, Community Development Counselor Kimberly Shoaf planned for 350 guests but was pleased to see even more snowbirds continue to pile in to enjoy a mix of local food and drink.
"It exceeded our expectation this year," said Shoaf, as she feverishly passed out plates to hungry snowbirds.
Word had clearly gotten out about the annual event and on Thursday hundreds of winter visitors were eager to spend one last afternoon on the motel's pool deck enjoying one last glimpse of the beautiful beach while enjoying music provided by local musician Randy Stark.
Members of the City Council, along with Mayor Al Cathey, were on hand to assist in the distribution of food, drinks and dessert.
"It's overwhelming," said Councilman Jack Mullen, a 12-year resident of Mexico Beach.
He was attending the event for the seventh year in a row and was pleased with the above-average turnout.
An hour after the event started, snowbirds were still making their way through the food lines and parking was limited to the shoulder of the road.
Shoaf said, "This event truly lets us show our winter residents that we appreciate them choosing Mexico Beach as their vacation spot."

Big Bear trip turns to panic, terror
First responders and law-enforcement officials arrived at a horrific scene, Thompson said. Some victims, like Maldonado, had been ejected from the bus. Others were trapped inside. It took hours to extricate survivors and send them to nearby hospitals.
The CHP said the investigation into what went wrong will take weeks to complete.
The agency identified the bus driver as Norbert B. Perez, 52, of San Ysidro. Thompson said he suffered major injuries, as did the driver of the pickup, who has not been named.
The driver and two passengers in the Saturn suffered minor injuries, according to the CHP.
Hernández said he was transported to a hospital in the same ambulance as Perez, whom he said was howling with pain when jostled by bumps and turns in the road.
On Monday night, the San Bernardino County Coroner's Office identified four of the seven killed as Guadalupe Olivas, 61; Elvira Garcia Jimenez, 40; Victor Cabrera Garcia, 13; and Aleida Adriana Arce Hernandez, 38.
All are Mexican citizens, the Mexican consul said. The coroner's office said Hernandez lived in Tijuana and the other three victims lived in San Diego.
U-T researcher Merrie Monteagudo and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Dual–Sport + Adventure Motorcycles
Dual–Sport + Adventure Motorcycles are street–legal motorcycles that are designed for use both on– and off–road (the "dual" in dual–sport or dual–purpose). Dual–sport motorcycle guides discuss the fact that these are typically single–cylinder motorbikes with engine displacements ranging from 250cc to 650cc. Adventure motorcycles, also known as adventurer tourers or travel enduros, have larger, multi–cylinder engines (650cc and up) and are often equipped for long–distance travel with windshields, comfortable seats, saddlebags or side cases. Due to the rigors of off–road use, dual–sport and adventure motorcycles often have durable bodywork and protective elements such as hand guards, engine guards and skid plates – something to look for when reading Dual–Sport + Adventure Motorcycle reviews. Their tires often have a large–block tread pattern that provide grip on pavement and in dirt or gravel; those ridden almost exclusively off–road usually run knobby tires like those found on dirt bikes.

The long and unhappy saga of the Local Sustainability Fund

Last week the government announced a £20m pot of funding for charities. This sounds like good news, says...
Sorry for interrupting, but there is something we need to tell you...

Did you huddle securely indoors with your family during the snow last week or did you attack the slippery surroundings with gusto? Robert Ashton reflects on a very British obstacle.
Now that the snow has gone and the usual winter weather of wind and rain returned, cast your mind back to what the pavement was like outside your house last week. I want to make an important point before your memories of the snow and ice literally slip and slide away.
My favourite lunchtime snack when travelling is a warm cheese scone and a cappuccino. I know it's not as healthy as a chicken salad, or as filling as a ham roll, but it's what I like. This is not really relevant other than being my motivation to seek out this comforting snack when driving home from a meeting in deepest rural Suffolk.
I'd turned off the Botesdale bypass in search of the tea rooms I guessed I'd find along the former main road. Botesdale is not really on the tourist trail, but the now by-passed High Street is rather attractive. A gentle hill, clearly loved half-timbered cottages, a few shops and that tea room. It's the kind of place many Americans imagine we all live in, I suspect.
But as the tinkling of the bell over the door died down, I realised that despite being lunchtime I was the only customer. I asked why, to be told, "Did you just walk along the pavement? It's a skating rink and putting people off."
She was, of course, quite right. I'd climbed out of my car and very nearly slipped underneath it. The footpath was very icy and on a slope, great fun if you're a kid, but pretty daunting for the average tea room punter.
Now this is a nice, comfortable mostly middle class community. The road is lined with nice houses, many of which have no front garden to speak of, so you step out of your front door onto that slippery pavement.
Here once more I thought is clear evidence of the scale of the problem facing anyone trying to engage local people in community affairs. In some countries, everyone clears the pavement outside their house or business. In the UK everyone complains that the Council is not clearing the pavement outside their door. It's a small point, but symptomatic of the deep, malignant apathy that has developed over the years.
Here, as in perhaps many other communities, there was an opportunity missed. Once a few people clear the ice in front of their houses others usually follow. It does not, as some fear, leave you open to litigation if a passer-by breaks a leg. More importantly, it makes falling over less likely and that tea room more likely to be busy.
It is useful to reflect when we spend so much time worrying about how to involve people in big community projects, that it is always good to start with some small ones. Community involvement is a habit and like any habit, best started with something easy to do.
In fact to steal a line from Paul Simon, it could be said with community engagement in the snow that "the nearer your destination, the more you're slip sliding away".
John Hudson
1 Feb 2013
The assertion that clearing the snow outside your house "does not, as some fear, leave you open to litigation if a passer-by breaks a leg" is almost certainly incorrect. Whether the claimant would win in Court is a very differnt question. But why would a householder talke the risk and expense of being sued when aggresive personal injury claims are now the order of the day. Why does Robert Ashton think so many schools closed during the recent snowfalls were it not for the fear of litigation?
We have had assertions from ministers that such claims are unwarranted. What we actually need is a change in legislation to make it clear that such injury claims are unlawful. Until this happens I will not be clearing the snow outside my house!

Robert, I couldn't agree more with what you have written.
I used to live in a very small community where when faced with conditions such as these, we would offer to buy each other's shopping or push each others cars out of the snow and walk Grandma's dog when they can't - even if it's not your grandma!
And sadly, that does sound more like a dream than a reality now.
Personally, I think more people should be aiming to do one Random Act of Kindness each day. That way, your tea room will still enjoy the thrill of a lunch time rush.
Charity is not just making a financial contribution - it's about making the world a better place.

Ongoing talks among the opposition parties may lead to the formation of a new political party by March, a leading member of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), Senator Bukar Abba Ibrahim, has said.
Ibrahim, a former Yobe State governor and member of the ANPP's contact committee on opposition merger talks, told some reporters in Abuja that after a series of negotiations, the opposition parties had resolved to form the new party.
"Before March 2013, we are all going to reach an accord on this merger, that is the deadline for the merger materialising. From all indications, the parties are looking forward to forming a totally new party where all the opposition parties will come together as one entity," he said.
Speaking on the activities of the contact committee, Ibrahim said the members had toured the North-central and South-east zones, during which they consulted with party members on the merger plan.
According to him, the committee is about to start reaching out to the South-south, South-west and North-west zones to rally support for the merger.
He also disclosed that only the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), of all the opposition parties engaged in the merger talks, was yet to come up with its committee members, adding that the party might do so soon.
He said the merger talks between the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), CPC and ANPP were being widened to include the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and some elements in the Labour Party (LP).
"We are talking with the APGA through the Imo State Governor, Chief Rochas Okorocha, on joining the coalition. We are also hoping that part of the Labour Party will join us and then we can form a new party. That I think will happen.
"This plan appears to be more popular than any other arrangement and I believe there is sufficient time to register a new party," he added.
He explained that the ACN was doing a similar thing and that the opposition parties were working hard to meet the deadline.
"The ACN has appointed their team, and ANPP has appointed its team and I am part of the committee. We have met several times here; we have even toured the zones.
"We have toured the North-central zone and we connected with all our supporters in Lafia, where we went to address them and they all cheered us over what we're doing.
"We were in Enugu in the South-east for a whole day, and we are going to go to visit other zones," he said.
Ibrahim was quite optimistic that this time around, the merger by the opposition parties would not flounder like in previous attempts.
He said: "This plan appears to be more popular than any other arrangement and I believe there is insufficient time to register a new party.
"All the groups were together before - CPC, ACN and ANPP - they were all one when we started the political process in 1999. It was because of the fragmentation over the years that we became what we are today.
"But it is not impossible for us to get back together, whatever reasons we had for breaking up at that time, we can now rewind everything and find our way back as one family."
On the issue of a common ideology for the aligning opposition parties, Bukar said there was sufficient evidence of compatibility among the parties engaged in the merger talks.
"Since we are all now in the opposition and we have been calling ourselves members of the progressives, we are going to join hands with some other groups to confront the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)," the former governor stated.

Current International Students
F-1 Regulations & Maintaining Status | Employment | Passports | Travel & Reentry
F-1 Regulations & Maintaining Status
As a student in F-1 status, you are responsible for learning and understanding all immigration related laws and regulations to maintain valid F-1 student status. Failure to abide by these regulations may result in serious immigration consequences.
You must:
Check-In to Academic Affairs at the Start of Each Semester
You must report to the international student advisor in the Office of Academic Affairs within the first week of classes at the beginning of each fall and spring semester in order to be registered as an active student in SEVIS. Federal regulations require the Office of Academic Affairs to complete this SEVIS registration each semester.
Maintain a Full-Course of Study Each Semester
You must maintain full-time enrollment (12+ credits for undergraduates, 9+ credits for graduates) each fall/spring semester. With few specific, valid and pre-approved circumstances, dropping below full-time status at any point in the semester is prohibited. If you need to drop below full-time status because of academic difficulty, a medical condition or completion of study, you should see the international student advisor to confirm eligibility for part-time status and to receive the required authorization in SEVIS.
Abide by U.S. Federal Employment Regulations
You may not work off-campus (paid or unpaid) without prior authorization. On-campus work (in a student service function - ex. bookstore, library, dining services) is permitted on a part-time basis during the semester (max. 20 hrs/week) and full-time (21+ hrs/week) during college break periods (winter, summer vacation). If you wish to work/intern (paid or unpaid) off-campus, you must see the international student advisor to confirm eligibility and to apply for/receive authorization. See Curricular Practical Training and Optional Practical Training for additional information.
Immediately Report Any Academic or Address Changes to Academic Affairs
U.S. federal regulations require you to inform your international student advisor within 10 days of a change to a your academic program (major, minor, etc.) or change of address (foreign or U.S.). The Office of Academic Affairs is required to provide this information to the federal government through the SEVIS system.
Prior to Traveling Outside of the U.S., Bring Your I-20 to Academic Affairs
Bring your I-20 to Academic Affairs prior to traveling outside of the U.S. to receive an updated travel signature on pg. 3 of your I-20. The travel signature certifies that you are maintaining valid student status and will be returning after a brief travel period to resume studies. Travel signatures are valid for one year from the date signed.
Keep Your Passport Valid at All Times
You must have a valid passport in your possession, and this passport should be valid for at least 6 months into the future. For information on renewing your passport, visit the website of your country's embassy or consulate in the United States.
Apply for an Extension Prior to the I-20 Program End Date
If you are maintaining regular progress toward degree completion and need additional time to complete your academic program, you may apply for a program extension. You must apply for an extension before the program end date listed on the I-20. Requests made after the program completion date cannot be completed.
Depart the U.S. Within the 60 Day Grace Period Following Program Completion
You must depart the U.S. within 60 days of the program end date listed on your I-20. Exceptions to this rule include students who have applied for Optional Practical Training (OPT), are transferring to a new school or degree level, or have applied for a change of status through USCIS. You may use these 60 days to prepare for departure, apply for Optional Practical Training (OPT), transfer to a new school or degree level, or apply for a change of status. You are not permitted to leave the U.S. and reenter during your grace period and should take care to submit OPT applications and/or transfer plans prior to departing the U.S., even for a brief travel period.
Obtain Transfer Authorization Prior to Leaving St. John Fisher College
If you are planning to transfer to another college or university in the U.S., you must inform Academic Affairs of your transfer intentions prior to leaving the College. You must then complete the SEVIS Release Form and provide Academic Affairs with a copy of your acceptance letter to have your SEVIS record transferred to the new institution.
Report Departure Date and Reason to Academic Affairs if Ending Studies Prior to Program Completion Date
You may choose to leave the College early or unexpectedly for a variety of reasons such as early graduation, leave of absence, withdrawal, or termination. Federal regulations require you to inform Academic Affairs if you plan to leave the College prior to the program completion date on your I-20.
The United States has very strict rules regarding the ability of international students to work in the United States. Unauthorized employment is a serious violation of F-1 status and can carry severe immigration consequences, including deportation. The following types of authorized employment are available:
On-Campus Employment
You may work on-campus for up to 20 hrs/week during the academic year and full-time during official vacation periods (winter, summer break), in a role that provides services to students. If you hold more than one position on-campus, the total hours worked per week must not exceed 20 hours.
On-Campus Job Opportunities
As an F-1 student, you are eligible for non-federal work study positions throughout campus. Several offices consistently offer non-work study student employment:
- Campus bookstore
- Library
- Dining services
- Academic Affairs - academic tutoring
Additionally, the Career Center's Career Zone service provides a current list of on-campus opportunities. You are encouraged to speak with your academic department for additional on-campus employment possibilities.
Off-Campus Employment
All off-campus employment must be authorized before employment can begin. This includes all internships, practical experiences, clinical rotations and other types of off-campus work experience. U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) defines "employment" as any type of service for which a benefit, including academic credit, is received. Therefore, both paid and unpaid experiences are considered employment.
Curricular Practical Training (Internships, Practical Experiences, Clinical Experiences, etc.)
Curricular Practical Training (CPT) is a type of off-campus employment authorization that enables you to take part in a paid or unpaid academic internship or practice experience integral to your curriculum.
- Curricular Practical Training (CPT) Information Packet [pdf]
- Curricular Practical Training (CPT) Application [pdf]
Optional Practical Training (Work Experience)
Optional Practical Training (OPT) allows you to accept paid off-campus employment, directly related to your field of study, for a period up to 12 months.
- Optional Practical Training Information Packet [pdf]
- Optional Practical Training Application & Advisor Recommendation [pdf]
- I-765 Application for Employment Authorization
- Applicant Information for OPT [pdf]
Employment Due to Severe Economic Hardship
This is a more uncommon type of authorized employment, available only to students in need under specific circumstances. When a financial need beyond your control arises, which was unforeseen at the time you applied to the College and after all other potential employment opportunities have proven to be insufficient, you may apply for an Employment Authorization Document through USCIS. If you believe your circumstances may qualify for this authorization, please see the international student advisor to confirm eligibility for this benefit and discuss application procedures.
You are encouraged to meet with the international student advisor in the Office of Academic Affairs or attend a CPT or OPT information session for advisement prior to submitting a CPT or OPT application. Please contact Academic Affairs to schedule an appointment.
You must have a valid passport in your possession, and this passport should be valid for at least 6 months into the future. For information on renewing your passport, visit the website of your country's embassy or consulate in the United States.
Travel & Reentry Information
Temporary Visits Abroad and Reentry in F-1 Status
In order to reenter the United States after a temporary absence of 5 months or less, you should have the following documents:
- A valid passport, valid for at least 6 months into the future;
- A valid F-1 visa (unless exempt from visa requirements);
- A current SEVIS Form I-20 properly endorsed for travel by the international advisor in the previous 12 months, or 6 months for students on OPT;
You are additionally advised to carry the following documents to help facilitate reentry:
- Financial documentation;
- Evidence of student status (ex. transcripts, current schedule, etc.);
- Previous Forms I-20, particularly one with an original admission stamp;
Upon leaving the U.S., you must surrender your Form I-94 Arrival-Departure record, unless visiting Canada, Mexico or adjacent islands other than Cuba for less than 30 days. Failure to do so may delay reentry to the U.S. in the future.
If you are traveling to your home country to renew an expired F-1 visa, you should see the international advisor prior to departing to obtain a letter of support for your visa application.
Travel to Another Foreign Country
If you plan to travel to a country other than your home country, you must check with the embassy of the country you wish to travel to for information about specific visa requirements and entry procedures.

What's baking on Saturn's moon Titan?October 16th, 2012 in Astronomy & Space / Space Exploration
NASA's Cassini spacecraft obtained this image of a feature shaped like a hot cross bun in the northern region of Titan (left) that bears a striking resemblance to a similar feature on Venus (right). The Titan image was obtained by Cassini's radar instrument on May 22, 2012. The bun is located at about 38.5 degrees north latitude and 203 degrees west longitude. This image is taken from a longer radar swath, which is about 3,200 miles (5,200 kilometers) long and about 400 miles (600 kilometers) at its widest. The circular feature shown, which looks like a giant hot cross bun, is about 43 miles (70 kilometers) in diameter with near-perpendicular markings about 37 miles (60 kilometers) wide, meeting at its center. The illumination for this synthetic aperture radar image is from the right. Similar features are seen on other planets. In a synthetic aperture radar image of Venus by NASA's Magellan spacecraft, this radar-bright circular-shaped region of 20 miles (30 kilometers) across lies at the summit of a large volcano called Kunapipi Mons (at about 33.3 degrees south latitude and 85.5 degrees west longitude on Venus). This comparison leads to the interpretation that the Titan crosses are also fractures caused by uplift from below. Steam often causes the top of bread to lift and stretch, but on Titan some other force, such as rising cryomagma, may have uplifted the surface, leading to the crossed cracks. Credit: NASA
(Phys.org)—Radar images from NASA's Cassini spacecraft reveal some new curiosities on the surface of Saturn's mysterious moon Titan, including a nearly circular feature that resembles a giant hot cross bun and shorelines of ancient seas. The results were presented today at the American Astronomical Society's Division of Planetary Sciences conference in Reno, Nev.
Steam from baking often causes the top of bread to lift and crack. Scientists think some similar process involving heat may be at play on Titan. The image showing the bun-like mound was obtained on May 22, 2012, by Cassini's radar instrument. Scientists have seen similar terrain on Venus, where a dome-shaped region about 20 miles (30 kilometers) across has been seen at the summit of a large volcano called Kunapipi Mons. They theorize that the Titan cross, which is about 40 miles (70 kilometers) long, is also the result of fractures caused by uplift from below, possibly the result of rising magma.
"The 'hot cross bun' is a type of feature we have not seen before on Titan, showing that Titan keeps surprising us even after eight years of observations from Cassini," said Rosaly Lopes, a Cassini radar team scientist based at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. "The 'bun' may be the result of what is known on Earth as a laccolith, an intrusion formed by magma pushing up from below. The Henry Mountains of Utah are well-known examples of this geologic phenomenon."
Another group of Cassini scientists, led by Ellen Stofan, who is based at Proxemy Research, Rectortown, Va., has been scrutinizing radar images of Titan's southern hemisphere. Titan is the only place other than Earth that has stable liquid on its surface, though the liquids on Titan are hydrocarbon rather than water. So far, vast seas have only been seen in Titan's northern hemisphere.
A new analysis of Cassini images collected from 2008 to 2011 suggests there were once vast, shallow seas at Titan's south pole as well. Stofan and colleagues have found two good candidates for dry or mostly dry seas. One of these dry seas appears to be about 300 by 170 miles (475 by 280 kilometers) across, and perhaps a few hundred feet (meters) deep. Ontario Lacus, the largest current lake in the south, sits inside of the dry shorelines, like a shrunken version of a once-mighty sea.
Scientists led by Oded Aharonson, another radar team member based at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, think that cycles analogous to Earth's Croll-Milankovich cycles, which explain climate changes in terms of the way Earth orbits around the sun, are at play on Titan, too. Such cycles on Titan would cause long-term transfer of liquid hydrocarbons from pole to pole. By this model, the south pole could have been covered with extensive seas less than 50,000 years ago.
"The seas on Titan are temporary hosts for experiments in prebiotic chemistry, and we know they are cycling from one hemisphere to the other over 100,000 years," said Stofan. "I'd love to get a closer look at the seas of the north or these dry seabeds to examine the extent to which this prebiotic chemistry has developed."
The Cassini team has confirmed some of the stability of Titan's northern seas by looking at radar images from Cassini taken about one Titan season (in this case, six Earth years) apart. The newer images, from May 22, 2012, on the same flyby as the hot cross bun images, show the shorelines stayed about the same, indicating the northern lakes are not transient weather events, in contrast to the temporary darkening of parts of the equator after a rainstorm in 2010.

AN ANTIDOTE to the pungent odours that waft from sports bags could be at hand. Dave Worley and his team at Auburn University in Alabama have developed polyester fibres that kill the bacteria responsible for the pong on contact.
Worley linked chemical groups called halamines to polyester fibres, which can be woven into garments or blended with natural fibres like cotton. After a garment made from the fibres is washed in bleach that contains chlorine, the halamines convert to bacteria-killing "chloramines". As the bacteria are killed the chlorine is used up, but washing the fabric in bleach recharges the fibres.

Simplicity and power
Monday, November 20, 2006
When we launched Google Page Creator on Labs earlier this year, we had one overriding goal: take making a website -- traditionally a complex process involving HTML, CSS, FTP, and $$$ -- and make it drop-dead easy. Since then, the feedback we're received has been loud and clear: thank you for making simple web publishing simple; now, go make more powerful things possible.
So we've spent the last six months in our shiny white lab coats (er, T-shirts) working on adding power to Google Page Creator without adding much complexity -- and we've just added three new goodies today:
Image editing (see image): Now you can make a picture look just right in the context of your web page. Once you add a picture, crop, rotate, lighten, darken, and add crazy special effects to it right from within your browser.
Multiple sites: When you first sign in to Google Page Creator, we automatically give you a site with the same name as your Gmail address, so you don't have to worry about choosing a name when you're just trying to get started. But because not every site is a personal site, starting today, you can create up to five sites with different URLs. For example, you can have justinspizza.googlepages.com in addition to justin.rosenstein.googlepages.com.
Pages for mobile: This feature has an awesome power-to-complexity ratio: Now, every Google Page Creator site automatically has a mobile edition. So when people visit your site from their mobile browser, they will see it optimized for their particular phone.
Of course, we're only getting started. Let us know how we can make Google Page Creator powerful enough for your web site publishing needs.

I'm on a 6-year old BTX based machine. I have an Intel SSD in it...and TRIM works just fine.
Trust me...it's not an issue.
SSDs work with motherboard chipsets as old as the Intel 8xx series - to put that in perspective, those were new when Windows XP was the OS du jour among Neowinians.
The issue is the controller chipset - TRIM support helps, but is not a requirement, any more than AHCI is. ICH5R supports AHCI; however, ICH7 does not. (The ICH5R southbridge was the preferred southbridge for the 865PE and 875P chipsets, while ICH7 was the default for both G31, AKA Bear Lake, and G41, AKA Eagle Lake.) However, ICH7, despite the lack of AHCI, does support TRIM in the default driver for Windows 7/8, as do *all* Intel southbridges back to even the original ICH5 - whether the southbridge supports AHCI or not.
Having both helps - however, neither is required, and one can exist without the other.

Abrogation of Fascist Law Demanded in S. Korea
| Pyongyang, March 29 (KCNA) -- The Family Movement for Realizing Democracy in south Korea held a general meeting at the Christian church in Seoul on March 24 at which it declared that it would steadily carry on actions for the abrogation of the fascist law and the release of prisoners of conscience.
At the meeting the organization condemned the Lee Myung Bak "government" for making the "Security Law" ride roughshod again and using it as a tool for suppressing patriotic people.
The organization underscored the need to carry on dynamic actions for the abrogation of the fascist law which brands compatriots in the north as the sworn enemy and for the release of prisoners of conscience.
The organization declared that it would steadily conduct actions to implement the south-north joint declarations and achieve democracy, improved human rights and right to existence.
It called for judging the Lee regime and "Saenuri Party" in this year's elections and bringing a new democratic society.

Barcelona is one of Europe's most vibrant city break destinations. A rarity in that it combines elements of both a brilliant beach break with all the cultural, sightseeing and shopping opportunities that you'd expect from a city break, it's a dream destination for those wanting to experience a best of both worlds getaway.
What's more, Barcelona is exceptionally easy to get to from the UK. Affordable flights take under two hours, meaning that you're in the heart of the city action before you know it! With our hotel in Barcelona city centre offering twin, double and family rooms for under €50 per night, holidays in Barcelona are within reach to those even on the strictest budgets!
There's an unbelievable amount to do in the city, but one 'must' to put on your itinerary is a visit to a Barcelona market. It's a fitting way to spend a few hours in this bustling, lively city, and offers an opportunity to leave the tourist trail behind and really get among the locals. Here are five of the best:
La Boqueria
Where: La Rambla
When: Mon – Sat
This market, located just off Barcelona's most famous street, Las Ramblas, is its best known and the most popular with tourists. Pick up goodies for an al fresco picnic in the Parque de la Ciudadela or Park Guell, looking out for everything from rainbow coloured sweets to sheep heads as you shop!
Sant Antoni
Where: Ronda Sant Pau
When: Mon – Sat
If you want a food market experience that's off the tourist radar the Sant Antoni food market is the one to head for. Stop and have a bite at the tapas bar in the middle of the market, for a rest from shopping.
Mercadillo de la Placa de Sant Josep
Where: Placa de Sant Josep
When: Every weekend
This art market is a great place to meet and enjoy the work of local artists – made all the better by its location in the shadow of the impressive Sant Josep church.
Fira Artesana
Where: Placa del Pi
When: 1st Fri and Sat of every month
This food market is wonderfully placed on a tiny church square in the labyrinthine gothic quarter of the city, and is well worth a look. Known as the 'honey market' it offers the opportunity to sample local, fresh, organic wares, including homemade cakes and honey-infused cheese.
Mercat del Enfants
Where: Placa de les lories Catalanes
When: Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat
No self-respecting bargain hunter should visit Barcelona without a trip to this, the city's biggest and best flea market. You'll find everything you could imagine among the wares here – from stunning antiques and secondhand 'junk' to new cosmetics and power tools. The mix of stalls here is bizarre, but the atmosphere is lively and buzzing.
As always in busy tourist areas, it's important to keep your wits about you and your bag/wallet close when browsing markets. Stay conscious of who is around you and nothing will spoil your experience of haggling like a local, then enjoying your spoils in the sunshine!

A lot of women wanted to have big breasts. There are many reasons for such desire. It could be for self esteem purposes or for aesthetic purposes. Whatever the reason is, it still boils down to having bigger breasts. There are many ways to make the breast bigger. The most risky way is through surgery or breast augmentation and the safest one is to use the best push-up bra available in the market.
A push-up bra is a padded type of brassiere that is made to make the breasts look bigger. The difference between a push-up bra and a padded bra is its purpose. Padded bras are just made to support the breasts whereas push-up bra compresses the breasts together to make them look bigger. Since the 19th century, brassiere such as this replaced the use of corset in supporting women's breasts.
What is the best push up bra? A lot of women suggested push-up bras from Victoria Secret and Calvin Klein as the best push-up bra. It should be noted that what is best for one person may not be the best for another. So if trying out for the best push-up bra, have the one that best suits you and the one that can give you the comfort that you are looking for even if it is not from Victoria Secret or from Calvin Klein.
Some Victoria Secret best push-up bras are the "very sexy push-up bras" and "water push-up bras".
The very sexy push-up bras have gel inserts that can be removed or added depending on the size that you want. They come in different colors and are convertible. You can have it strapless or not. If you buy a set, the package should contain two kinds of strap. One strap matches the color of the bra and the other is transparent.
Water push-up bra is another type of push-up bra from Victoria's. It also has a gel padding that amazingly enhances the breasts. It makes the breast look naturally big.
The "steel microfiber push-up bra" and the "CK bed of roses push-up bra" are the best push-up bras from Calvin Klein.
The Steel microfiber push-up bra is made from 86% Nylon and 14% Elastane. It is so soft that you would not bother taking it off. It also has a wiring under the cups that are perfectly engineered to lift and secure the breast in place.
The CK bed of roses push-up bra has a padding that renders a perfect contour of the breast. it is very soft and smooth. It also has an underwire support like the steel microfiber push –up bra. The best things with this push-up bra are its prints and lace designs.
These are some best push-up bras from Victoria Secret and Calvin Klein. Be sure to fit one before buying to see if it fits you perfectly.

When It's Best to Visit Hawaii?
Hawaii is one of the top tourist destinations of the world and gets visitors from around the world all throughout the year. It can easily be stated here, at the very beginning of our article that there really is no bad time to visit Hawaii. The beauty of sand and greens, coupled with the colors of bright flowers and blue oceans never dissipates and it never fails to charm its visitors. However there definitely are variations in the Hawaii weather according to different time of the year. So, here, we would give a description of the major seasonal variations and hopefully, it would help you plan your vacation better.
For starters, if you are one of those who are afraid of having to be cooped up in your hotel room during your Hawaii vacation due to heavy rains, you can set your mind at ease because rainfall, when it happens is rarely for extended periods of time and never too heavy. However, during November – March, which are the winter months, rainfall gets relatively heavier than usual. June is the best times if you really want to avoid rain. Ocean is not rough usually, but does get big waves during the winter months. However, it starts calming down by March, but you would still find beaches which are great for swimming and for indulging in water sports like diving or snorkeling.
Hawaii tends to get very crowded during the traditional holiday period like Christmas and New Year, Easter or after the end of school year in the US. So, if you want a crowd free Hawaii, you should take into account all these factors before booking your tickets. But it can be said at a general level that May and September are the absolute best times to visit the island for a combination of good weather and less crowd. Second best time would be the end of April and the beginning of October . Also please take in to account that during the peak tourist seasons, Hawaii can get pretty expensive due to the rush of demand by visiting tourists.
Daytime temperature in Hawaii throughout the year stays between an average of 75°F - 85°F (24°C - 30°C) . So Hawaii weather stays wonderful throughout the year. Even in the winter months, the biggest concern would only be the rainfall, which some people might in fact actually enjoy. The great thing about Hawaii is that there are so many islands that you can keep island hopping and see what suits you the best. So if you feel like you are not having as good a time as you wanted, there is always the option to travel to another nearby island. Some people with respiratory problems might find the volcanic gases that the wind blows over to the beach sometimes discomforting. However, unless your olfactory senses are acutely sensitive, you should be alright. It does not happen all the times and it is not really harmful.
So, in conclusion, we can say that there can never be a bad time to visit Hawaii. It is all about the ocean and the beaches anytime of the year.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD: Onboard (shared Memory) GPU built in the GM45, GE45 and GS45 chipset (Montevina). Because of two more shaders and a higher core clock, much faster than the old GMA X3100. Still not advisable for gamers (DirectX 10 games not playable or only with very low settings). The integrated video processor is able to help decode HD videos (AVC/VC-2/MPEG2) , e.g., for a fluent Blu-Ray playback with slow CPUs.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Core 2 Duo: This is the Core Duo and Core Solo successor with a longer pipeline and 5-20% more speed without more power consumption. As an addition to the Core Duo design there exists a fourth decoder, an amplified SSE-unit and an additional arithmetical logical unit (ALU).
The Core 2 Duo for laptops is identical to the desktop Core 2 Duo processors but the notebook-processors work with lower voltages (0.95 to 1188 Volt) and a lower Frontside bus clock (1066 vs 667 MHz). The performance of equally clocked notebooks is 20-25% lower than Desktop PCs because of the lower Frontside bus clock and the slower hard disks.
Middle class dual core CPU with a TDP of 25 Watt. For high end gamer the performance could be not sufficient (for class 1 graphic cards).» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
12.1": This is a common display format for subnotebooks. Most netbooks have a tinier display. The advantage is, that the subnotebook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the small display needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is a bit exhausting for the eyes, especially with high resolutions.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
2 kg: These sub-notebooks weight less than the average of all notebooks, but represent a heavier class of weight among the sub-notebooks. 12 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.

Also, as far as membership, I saw in another thread that the membership lasts for one year. Does that mean I am able to automatically renew for another year with another payment (meaning it's essentially $100 per year)? If so, Is there a way to set it up for automatic payment with notification?
Posted 20 October 2013 - 12:22 PM
Thanks for your interest in BackupBuddy.
In answer to your first question(s) - your available licences can be assigned to BackupBuddy on any site that you wish and certainly for Customers who support clients it is quite common for them to have BackupBuddy on a client site with one of their licences attached. And of course should a client cease to be a client for whatever reason you can detach a licence from their site and attach it to the site of a new client (or existing client who you may offer BackupBuddy based services to). Please note though that in all cases you are still the licence owner and all support is provided through you - your clients cannot come to us for support directly.
For your second question(s) - yes, the standard membership period is one year and you can renew for continuation of the validity of any existing licences you may have, otherwise all licences cease to become valid at the end of the membership period regardless of when they were created during that period - but BackupBuddy will continue to function as is. It's best to contact firstname.lastname@example.com for any questions specific to payment and/or renewal processes but there are always discounts for renewals and also often "special offers" that you might want to take advantage of.
Please let us know if you have any additional question or clarification required, thanks.
"Everything will be all right in the end. If it isn't all right yet then it isn't the end."

Chocolate Cheese Snack
These chocolate cheese snacks are easy to take along—bake them in individual disposable holders so they're neat and easy to transport. I tried three different cheesecake recipes to find the one that works best—and once again, Malky Vorhand's won hands down.
- Ready Time : 0 min
Cheese Cake Mixture:
- 1 container whipped cream cheese
- 1 container sour cream
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup farmer cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup milk
Chocolate Mixture:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 3/4 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup cocoa
- 1 cup oil
- 3/4 cup potato starch
Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a muffin tray with liners.
Prepare chocolate mixture. In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, cocoa, oil, and potato starch. Freeze for at
least one hour or until firm.
Meanwhile, prepare cheesecake mixture. In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, farmer cheese, eggs, vanilla, and milk.
When chocolate is frozen, cut chocolate into chunks and firmly press into the bottom of each muffin liner. Pour cheesecake mixture over each chocolate base. Scatter additional chocolate chunks on top of cheese.
Bake for 40-45 minutes.
Note: There are many options available for individual-sized, disposable ramekins or muffin holders.
2 Responses to Chocolate Cheese Snack
When the recipe calls for 1 container sour cream what size is that?
I presume the cream cheese is an 8 oz container but sour cream?
Please give more details, thanks

A commercial which truly defines "short and sweet" has just begun televising for upcoming romantic horror Sankarea – inducing much hype for the series through its quick display of zombie girl cuteness.
This clip merely shows the heroine swaying around with an embarrassed face in the rain, followed by a second or two of the hero, and then returns to the heroine with incredible camera work – focusing first on her lovely gaze as she turns to look back before then moving to the fluttering of her long and modest skirt, till finally ending with a full body shot of her moe as seen from afar. These 18 seconds of video certainly have left us with twitchy for this series, and it certainly did wonderful job of offering an impression of what's to come.
A simple slice of life with some horror and romance – one truly could not ask for more.

Jailed For Trying To Fill A Prescription
In yet another sick casualty of the absurd War on Drugs, a Dallas woman, Annie Lenhart, was thrown in jail when she went to the drug store for more painkillers — painkillers for which she had a legal prescription after shattering her kneecap falling down a cliff on vacation. Susy Solis writes for DFW's CBSlocal.com:
With the help of several men, Lenhart climbed out of the area and after a 3 1/2 hour trip to the nearest hospital in Port-Au-Prince, she underwent reconstructive surgery with no general anesthesia.
A week later she was flown back to the U.S., still in deep pain, and admitted into Baylor Medical Center in Dallas.
"They gave me a pretty high, heavy duty narcotic, Norco, as a painkiller going forward and I had used that up. It had been a month and I had called for my refill," Lenhart said.
The pharmacy called Lenhart to ask her exactly what time she would be in pick up her prescription. She thought it was odd, but told the pharmacy what time she would be there.
Still on crutches and unable to drive, a friend of Lenhart's, drove her to a CVS Pharmacy in Oak Cliff.
She wasn't able to pick up her prescription because a police officer arrived to pick her up.
"He was like 'we need to go outside,'" she said. "I was on crutches and I had a permanent IV line in my arm. I had a big leg brace. I asked him if it was necessary and he said yes and he rather policingly escorted me out the front door and into the back of a waiting patrol car."
Lenhart was so stunned, she didn't think to ask the officer questions. The officer explained to her what was going on.
"He said, 'Well we believe that you have forged your pain pill prescription and we are calling your doctor now. But I've worked with this pharmacist a number of times and he's never made a mistake," Lenhart said.
The officer then took her the Dallas County jail, where she remained overnight. After she was released on bond, she was charged with obtaining a controlled substance by fraud, a felony.
She eventually things straightened out, but consider this: An injured woman had her freedom taken from her because of the drug war. Yet another woman, yet another person, among so many people.

Random thoughts from the past week:
First - The newest report from research company IBISWorld has come out which estimates that the total revenue of worldwide Public Relations Agencies will be $12.6 billion in 2013. Growth was 3.1% across all firms in the last year – and is expected to continue to grow in the years to come.
And - A Great story in The Guardian this week about Masters Degree classes in the Public Relations field – as the more smart people we have in our industry, the better for all of us. As the article said "..the art of public relations is still as vital as ever for individuals and businesses of all sizes."
Then - I Finally got around to reading the must-read PR book "Edelman and the Rise of Public Relations" by Franz Wisner about the world's largest PR firm. Naturally, it is quite an interesting story about an admirable man. The book discusses Daniel Edelman and his relationship with his family, the legendary work he did and the evolution of the firm. Of course, there were some great tid-bits in the book – Like when Charlie Lubin, the founder of Sara Lee, said that thanks to Edelman, his PR budget was worth 1,000 times more than his advertising budget. And plenty of personal tips from the most successful entrepreneur in the public relations industry ever. Must-read material, this is sure.
Have never met a Public Relations Executive who didn't love to read – and I saw this quote and just had to share it: "I had always imagined paradise as a kind of library." – Jorge Luis Borges -

best friend's brother - cody simpson love story -COMPLETED-
Mandy loves Cody Simpson.. slight problem. Her best friend's Alli Simpson.
Olaaa! I'm Kayla. I'm sixteen years young, in the tenth grade; almost eleventh, and I'm Canadian... eh? I absolutely adore reading, writing, drawing, eating and sleeping. I spend most of my time on here, or on tumblr, and sometimes you'll find me on twitter.
So pretty much, I'm dedicated to many celebrities. One Direction, Cody Simpson, Justin Bieber, Greyson Chance, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato, Cher Lloyd, and Ed Sheeran. But I guess if I had to pick a favourite, that'd be Taylor Swift. Her music helps me through almost everything. She's brilliant.
From the bottom of the stairs; to the top of the charts. Here's to the boys; who stole our hearts<3.
I'm from a city about an hour or so away from Toronto. Toronto is a brilliant city, but I don't like spending too much time there. I don't know.. I just don't like it. I was born on January 20th, meaning I turn 16 next year.
I've been through so much, and most of my writing is based off of things that have happened to me, or a friend. I'll just never admit to which one it is.
I write on here, as if it's my diary. I hope you don't mind.

Chinese Super-Heavy Launcher Designs Exceed Saturn V
Credit: Beijing Aerospace Propulsion Institute
Chinese engineers are proposing a Moon rocket more powerful than the Saturn V of the Apollo missions and matching the payload of NASA's planned Space Launch System (SLS) Block 2, the unfunded launcher that would put the U.S. back into super-heavy space lift.
Drawing up preliminary designs for the giant Long March 9 launcher, Chinese launch vehicle builder CALT has studied configurations remarkably similar to those that NASA considered in looking for the same capability: to lift 130 metric tons (287,000 lb.) to low Earth orbit (LEO). One of the two preferred Chinese proposals has a similar configuration to the design finally adopted for SLS Block 2, though the takeoff mass for both CALT concepts, 4,100-4,150 tons, is greater. On that measure, at least, China wants to build the largest space launcher in history.
Preliminary work is underway for the intended engines. At the Xian Space Propulsion Institute, engineers are certainly planning and probably doing risk-reduction work for a kerosene-fueled engine, apparently called YF-660, that would be comparable to the 690 tons thrust of the Saturn V's F-1. The Beijing Aerospace Propulsion Institute, meanwhile, is working on critical technologies for a 200-ton-thrust liquid-hydrogen engine that would be used for the first stage of one launcher design and for the second stage of both. That engine is apparently called the YF-220.
Comparison with current launchers and engines highlights the scale of China's ambitions: Whereas U.S. SLS engineers are aiming at a 10% increase on the throw weight of the Saturn V and would use mainly familiar propulsion technology, CALT's super-heavy launcher would have 10 times the throw weight of anything that China now has in service, and would be four times bigger than even the largest rocket it is developing—the Long March 5. The YF-660 engine would be five times as powerful as the biggest engine China has so far built, one that has not yet flown.
The Chinese industry is seeking permission to begin developing a Moon rocket. Studies encompass payloads as low as 70 tons to LEO, says an industry official, suggesting that China may follow the SLS concept by first building a smaller launcher adaptable to enlargement.

Russian Vice PM Warns of Adverse Effect of U.S. MD
|Moscow, March 30 (KCNA) -- Russian Vice Prime Minister Dmitri Rogozin warned that the recent U.S. deployment of missile defense system can spark an offensive arms race.
Branding the U.S. plan to establish missile defense system as a product of political egoism and arbitrariness, he said beefing up defensive weapons would result in beefing up offensive weapons.
Querying what the purpose of the U.S. establishment of huge military infrastructure is, he insisted the MD is not the best way for ensuring security.
