Adam Sandler's new movie is so offensive no one wants to be in it
Adam Sandler is making a new movie, The Ridiculous 6, which is slated to air on Netflix at some point. It's a spoof of Westerns, the title is a play on The Magnificent Seven, and it stars Sandler as a guy who's raised in a band of Apaches after being adopted by them as a child. It's the kind of premise that, were it masterminded by Mel Brooks, could probably be really f*cking funny, but the minute I heard Sandler was coming for my heritage, I felt a chill. Full Story

Alleged serial shop robber to stand trial
"What was consistent (in the descriptions) was that his eyes were distinctive and they were relatively light in color," he said.
He said the witnesses tended to describe the perpetrator in terms of their own perspective, so that shorter witnesses described the robber as taller and taller witnesses described him as shorter, and witnesses with Spanish accents tended not to notice the robber's accent as distinctive while non-Spanish speakers identified the accent as sounding Hispanic. Witnesses said that if the robber heard Spanish being spoken, he would begin speaking Spanish.
The counts on which Lopez will answer to in this trial stem from alleged robberies of about 20 stores, including seven in Murrieta, three in Temecula, two in Hemet and one in Menifee.

THE heroic efforts of fish battling upstream to spawn are not quite what they seem. Many actually cheat a little, by hitching an energy-saving ride against the flowing current.
To give themselves a boost on their upstream journey, the fish use eddies in the current that fling them forwards, a new study shows. This saves so much energy that they do not need to use their main swimming muscles. "It's a very low-energy way of moving through a turbulent environment," says George Lauder, a biomechanician at Harvard University.
Lauder's graduate student James Liao, together with colleagues at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, used reflective glass beads to see how the current flowed around brook trout (

Obama meets with Dalai Lama; visit rankles China
Posted: February 21, 2014 at 11:49 a.m.
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama met with the Dalai Lama at the White House Friday over the stern objection of China, which warned the meeting would "inflict grave damages" on the U.S. relationship with the Asian nation.
Obama greeted the Dalai Lama while the Tibetan spiritual leader and fellow Nobel laureate was in the U.S. on a speaking tour. The meeting was closed to photographers, and, unlike during some previous visits, the Dalai Lama departed the White House without speaking to reporters.
When the White House announced the meeting late Thursday, China responded almost immediately, urging Obama to cancel it in what has become something of a diplomatic ritual whenever the president meets with the exiled Buddhist monk. In a biting statement, China's government accused Obama of letting the Dalai Lama use the White House to promote anti-Chinese activities.
"The U.S. leader's planned meeting with Dalai is a gross interference in China's domestic politics," said Hua Chunying, a spokeswoman for China's Foreign Ministry. "It is a severe violation of the principles of international relations. It will inflict grave damages upon the China-U.S. relationship."
Beijing has often protested when world leaders have granted audiences to the Dalai Lama, including when Obama met with him in 2010 and again in 2011. Chinese officials denounce the Dalai Lama as a separatist responsible for instigating self-immolations by Tibetans inside China, but he is widely respected around the world for his advocacy of peace and tolerance.

Brazilian low-cost carrier Gol is projecting an operating profit for the first quarter of 2013, as it aims to be profitable this year following two years of net losses.
The airline's chief executive Paulo Sérgio Kakinoff says in an earnings call today that the carrier is forecasting an earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) margin of between 1% and 3% in 2013.
Gol reported a 1.51 billion Brazilian reals ($753 million) net loss in 2012, after posting R$752 million in net losses in 2011. In 2010, it had reported a net profit of R$214 million.
The airline is assuming a 2.5% to 3.5% growth in Brazil's GDP in its 2013 forecast. The carrier estimates that revenue per available seat kilometre will grow by 10% or more in 2013.
Cost per available seat kilometre is expected to come in at between 9.7 and 10.3 Brazilian real cents.
The airline has said it aims to cut domestic capacity by about 7% in 2013 as it focuses on rationalising ASKs to return to profitability. Gol executives declined to provide guidance for international capacity in today's call.

YIELD: Serves 4
Prepare grill.
Pat steaks dry and brush on both sides with oil. Rub steaks with chipotle rub and in a shallow baking dish large enough to fit steaks in one layer marinate them at room temperature up to 30 minutes.
Grill steaks on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until crusty and medium-rare, about 4 minutes on each side. (Alternatively, steaks may be cooked in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan.) Transfer steaks to a warm platter and let stand 5 minutes.
Divide beans among 4 small deep platters and top with steaks. Dollop salsa butter on steaks and top with onion rings.
For the Chipotle Rub:
In a small heavy skillet dry-roast oregano over moderate heat, shaking skillet occasionally, until fragrant and beginning to brown, about 2 minutes, and transfer to a small bowl. Cool oregano completely and in an electric coffee/spice grinder grind fine.
In a heavy skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and, using tongs, fry chiles, 1 or 2 at a time, turning them, until puffed and just beginning to brown, about 10 seconds. (Do not let chiles burn or rub will be bitter.) Transfer chiles as fried to paper towels to drain and cool until crisp.
Wearing rubber gloves, break chiles into pieces and in coffee/spice grinder grind fine in batches. In a food processor grind oregano and chiles with garlic and salt until mixture is a shaggy, saltlike consistency. If mixture seems moist, on a large baking sheet spread it into a thin, even layer and dry in middle of an oven set a lowest temperature until no longer moist, about 1 hour. Wearing rubber gloves, break up any lumps with your fingers. (Chipotle rub keeps in an airtight container, chilled, 6 months. Regrind rub before using. Makes about 3 1/4 cups.)

Hi -
I often have to wrangle large amounts of files for my job. The file types are mostly Office file types, JPGs, and PDFs but can be anything really. I'm not able to move files from their original location and something the filenames make no sense what-so-ever. Duplicates are often a problem as a client will send the same thing twice and the receiver of those files (as a matter of record keeping) isn't really required to check for duplicates. Anyway, the complexities are in the folder structure and I need to just deal with them.
What I do is review and summarizing everything. So far my best approach to this problem is that I've developed an Excel spreadsheet that is loaded from a flat-line view of the folder structure (simply by running a dir with some switches and outputting that to a txt file). I've developed an excel code snippet that then creates hyperlinks to all the files for quick easy access. The Table features in Excel help me with all my filter needs. So I can filter based on file type. I can add a "Duplicate?" column and quickly check things that I've identified as being duplicate and make them go away. Excel gives me a lot of flexibility in the way that I can easily add columns that are meaningful and useful for going through files (sometimes 1000's of files). Essentially it is a bunch of file meta tags that I'm using Excel columns for.
It works well. But when new files are added its a pain to get them in my spreadsheet as right now it would be a manual process. I'm about to dive into some VBA macro development to see if I can solve that by writing something that will automatically create my excel spreadsheet as I need it and add missing files as they are added... but before I do that, I was wondering if anyone else had any recommendations for a solution to this.

Clam digging is a great activity on the Kenai Peninsula that is open to residents, and non-residents. It is fairly inexpensive and the reward, as any one who has eaten razor clams knows, is worth it.
All you need to participate is some waterproof clothing, a shovel or clam gun, bucket and if over 16 a valid Alaska fishing license. Make sure you check current Alaska regulations on daily limits before digging clams. State law requires that you must keep and count ALL razor clams dug, regardless of size or shell damage. The fine for overlimit is not worth it at $100 plus $2 per clam.
Clams may be dug at any minus tide, but a tide of minus two feet or lower is recommended for the best results. See table below for the 2010 clam tides

There are many different schools of thought on what is the most productive way to dig for razor clams. Some believe a shovel is the best, while others choose a clam gun, I have never had much luck with these. Half the battle is locating the "dimple" or "show" in the sand that indicates where the clam is buried. The following link offers a guide, with illustrations on how to use both a shovel and clam gun, as well as some maps showing you the best areas to dig. Another way to learn how to dig for razor clams is to head to the beach and watch and learn. You will find people using both of the methods I mentioned and some you will probably never see in a book.
There are only eight major concentrations of clams on the Pacific Coast and four of those are in Alaska. The beaches from Clam Gulch to Ninilchik are the most popular razor clam beaches in the state.
So grab a shovel and bucket and hit the sand at low tide, and remember, the best part of clamming happens after you leave the beach…eating your catch.

Flyers with anti-Semitic messages directed against Chicago mayoral front-runner Rahm Emanuel were distributed on a train line that runs through the city.
The flyer, distributed at a Chicago Transit Authority Red Line station, shows a silhouette of Emanuel and reads: "I will run Chicago as I ran Freddie Mac, PROFITABLE (for me, me, me) thirty millions$$$$$$. I was entitled to it, being a Holocaust survivor (I mean my family)."
Emanuel is "unfazed" by the fliers, according to the NBC television affiliate in Chicago, which quoted him as saying "I have confidence in the people."
The nonpartisan election is scheduled for Feb. 22; and a runoff, if necessary, would be six weeks later.
On Sunday, fellow candidate Carol Moseley Braun compared Emanuel to a character in the Mel Brooks film "The Producers" who describes Hitler as "kind" and "gentle."
"I was not comparing him to Adolf Hitler; print that," Moseley Braun told reporters later. "I was trying to say ... the kind, gentle concern for the public that is being portrayed in these ads does not square with the record."
Emanuel in a debate Monday said he thought Braun's words were taken out of context.
Emanuel served for two years as President Obama's White House chief of staff and also was a congressman.

The Tampa Bay for Haiti Coalition hosts Haiti Memorial
Alexis Chamberlain
WMNF Drive-Time News Monday | Listen to this entire show:
On Friday in Tampa, Haitiâs ambassador to the United States, Raymond Joseph, acknowledged exiled former Haitian president Jean-Bertrand Artistideâs desire to assist Haiti and return to the country with medical supplies and other emergency equipment.
Joseph made the comment after the City of Tampa hosted the first U.S. memorial to pay its respects to those lost in last monthâs earthquake.
Jean-Bertrand Aristide is a Ph.D. Right now, weâre looking for M.D.s. So if he has some expertise in medicine, how he can help usâwell I suppose he can return. But, something else. You know, the constitution of Haiti says no one, no Haitian, should be kept out of his country for political reasons. The same constitution also says all Haitians are responsible for the law, for their actions. So he should reflect before he decides to come back.
Haitiâs largest political party, Lavalas, has been banned from participating in the elections that have been delayed by the disaster. While Joseph did not say the party should automatically be included in the election, he suggested it was up to Lavalas.
If Lavalas party enters into the electoral process the way it should, it should participate.
As Haitiâs official national mourning period came to an end, various churches and nonprofit organizations came together under the Tampa Bay for Haiti Coalition for a volunteer-based memorial Friday night. The event was hosted at the new Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park in Downtown Tampa and included participation from various Haitian community leaders as well as Caribbean organizations.
Mayor Pam Iorio hosted the event.
When the terrible earthquake struck, we all reached out to comfort, and to communicate, and to see what could be done. And it was clear to me from the very beginning that the entire community of Tampa held out their hearts and started to give. They started to give whatever they could. To the Haitian community: May this memorial service tonight give you some small amount of peace that your loved one is remembered, memorialized, and never forgotten.
Among those in attendance were Haitian Consul General Laurent Prosper; Ray Bucanan of Stop Hunger Now; and Linda Carbone, the CEO of the[American Red Cross Tampa Chapter] (http://www.redcrosstbc.org).
Ambassador Raymond Joseph took some time to speak at the event.
Weâve had a delegation from Congress; we are all very [unintelligible] about the rebirth of Haiti, about the reconstruction. Because for the first time, we are not going to do it alone. For the whole world, somehow, the whole world, is focused on Haiti. And for you Haitians, Haitian friends, Haitian citizens, all of you, Iâm calling on you tonight to resolve to work again.
The serviceâwhich attracted about 300 peopleâwas mostly made up of Creole musical performances and motivating speeches about Haitiâs rehabilitation. Victims of the earthquakeâwho are currently being treated at various hospitals throughout Tampaâfilled up the first two rows of the event in order to heal and regain a sense of normalcy, according to a coalition statement.
Attendees were also asked to participate in writing messages to the victims of the earthquake, attaching their messages to flowers and incorporating them into a sculpture made by artist Juan Colón.
You know, the strength of faith, of the Haitians, itâs very touching and an honor for me to be here, [unintelligible].

Once Upon a Time
Once Upon a Time Season 2: Is Regina Still Redeemable?
Regina (Lana Parrilla) has been in the spotlight all year on Once Upon a Time Season 2. From her attempts to put aside her wicked ways in the earlier part of the season, to her misguided devotion to her mother, to her current crazy plan to destroy Storybrooke, we've seen every side of her, from Evil Queen to distraught and loving mother. Now we're wondering: Do you think she's actually redeemable?
In many ways, this season has made a strong argument in both directions. On one hand, we've been given a painful look into Regina's past; it's been made very clear that she started out as a sweet girl with a good heart. Years of abuse from her mother, culminating in the murder of her True Love in front of her eyes, was enough to make her unstable — a situation Rumplestiltskin skillfully used to his advantage, easily manipulating her down a path of magic and darkness.
At her core, under all the pain and anger and obsessive need for vengeance, Regina is still just a woman who wants to be accepted and loved. Her mother was literally heartless, her True Love was torn away from her — arguably, all she wants is to fill that void. In the flashback during Season 2, Episode 20: "The Evil Queen," it even looked like she was going to forgive Snow and try for a family once again, until Snow declared that Regina was pure evil after all.
On the other hand, there's a reason Snow made that declaration: Regina had ordered an entire village be slaughtered for defying her. And she hasn't exactly learned her lesson, since her latest plan is to destroy Storybrooke so she can have Henry all to herself. Regina's version of love is possessive and unforgiving; her perception of herself as the constant victim is so out of step with reality it's hard to see how she can ever truly fix herself. Yes, she had a terrible childhood. Yes, people don't give her a chance. But neither of those facts excuses the number of times she's returned to horrific evil — including wiping her own son's memory this week — after facing the slightest obstacle.
In our view, redemption for Regina needs to work a bit like recovery from addiction if it's going to be narratively satisfying and believable. She has to make the decision to change for herself. As long as she waits for other people to forgive her, she's always going to fail, because she has done unforgivable things. If she wants real redemption she needs to own up to the choices she has made and show that she's willing to change even before people are willing to forgive her. That's the only way it will stick.
The question is, is Regina even capable of seeing her own culpability anymore, or has her ability to reason been too warped by magic, abuse, and manipulation? We're pulling for her to see the light, but every time she whips out a new plan that's more evil than the last, we have to wonder if she'll ever change for good.
What do you think: Is Regina redeemable, or is she too far gone? Do you want to see her redeemed, or do you prefer her as a fabulous villain? Let us know in the comments below.
Catch the next episode of Once Upon a Time on Sunday, May 5 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

The following is an archive of a post made to our

Hello all,
I have a Mandrake 8.1 installation and I'm running into a problem that I
don't understand. Whenever I try to download a file via ncftp/ncftpbatch,
the process writes about 98MB then stops with a "file write error." I get
this same problem whenever I try to upload a large file via Samba. I don't
have process accounting turned on, the only thing I can think that might
be doing this is Mandrake Bastille. But, I turned off the file size limit
option. Any ideas of where I can look or what I can do?

INVESTIGATIVE reporters should ensure that they dig deeper and should not leave any stone unturned.
Also, they should cultivate a culture of having a deadline when doing their investigative stories. A seasoned journalist, Fili Karashani, made the challenge on the first day of a six-day investigative workshop being attended by 18 scribes members of the Kagera Press Club (KPC), being held in Bukoba Municipality.
He urged reporters for print and media outlets to always take into consideration the requirement of their listeners and readers. "Avoid personal interests," he emphasized.
KPC Chairman, John Rwekanika, said the workshop was a continuation of trainings being undertaken by the Union of Tanzania Press Clubs (UTPC) in collaboration with regional press clubs.

Not many women would describe giving birth as a sensual, sexual, blissful, transformative or exquisite experience. Yet, it is possible to have a birthing process that is completely different than the screaming, agonizing, tortured women so commonly depicted and normalized in North American society.
Orgasmic Birth is a documentary look at ecstatic or orgasmic birth where women give birth in a caring, serene environment with loving touch and even a few orgasms. "That birth is a sexual experience is probably the best kept secret," explains midwife Elizabeth Davis.
In many societies around the world, women's bodies have become completely mechanized during the birthing experience with hospital monitors, epidurals, forceps, vacuums, bright lights, IVs, drugs to speed up contractions, indifferent attending physicians and nurses and, in the USA, some of the highest rates of cesarean sections in the world.
Filmmaker Debra Pascali-Bonaro contrasts multiple blissful births that women can enjoy with births women can barely endure, remember or even feel. Pascali-Bonaro challenges common preconceptions while inviting viewers to witness the safest, easiest, and most pleasurable way to give birth.
The documentary follows the journey of several couples demonstrating how blissful birth can be when the mother is surrounded by a supportive family, a patient caregiver (midwife, doctor or nurses), and an environment that allows her body to do whatever is needed to ensure a safe, serene birth. The results are moving experiences of women giving birth naturally and ecstatically.
Interviews with experts explain how the birthing process has become a medical procedure rather than a natural process. Doulas, doctors, midwives, gynecologists, anthropologists, neonatologists, nurses and Lamaze educators all confirm that there is something wrong with the current practice of disconnecting birth from a woman's body and explain that things can be done differently.
"With 4.3 million babies born in the U.S. each year it's time to reexamine what we've been told and look to what is possible," says director Debra Pascali-Bonaro, a renowned childbirth educator and doula, who witnessed so many ecstatic births she was inspired to begin filming them. "If you don't know all your options then you don't have any. Orgasmic Birth will strip away your fears and reveal how to create a powerful and transformative experience. It is time to reclaim this sacred event."
Orgasmic Birth encourages women around the world to readjust their birthing experience from mechanized to sacred and, at times, even sensual. A fascinating must see film for every woman who is considering giving birth.

Some Thoughts About Heart Rate
I have a stress injury–most likely a stress fracture–in my right foot, so I'm not allowed to run for at least four weeks. I'm still planning to run my half marathon at the end of May, so I'm doing other cardio in hopes of maintaining fitness. Today I would usually do my long run (about 80-90 minutes), so I spent 90 minutes on a stationary bike, instead. 30 minutes on an upright spin bike and then an hour doing some "around the world" hill program on a recumbent bike because I got bored and also the seat was more comfortable.
While on the recumbent, there was a girl working out on the same kind of bike to my right. I caught her looking at my screen at least once, but that's okay because I was doing the same thing. Honestly it doesn't bother me when people do that even though I know everyone complains about it.
Anyway, according to the little chart on the bike, 65% of the maximum heart rate for a general 20-year-old is about 135 and 80% is around 160, if I'm remembering correctly. It claims 65% is the "fat burning zone" and 80% is the "cardio zone."
The girl to my right had her bike set to "manual" and was chugging along at level 1. Her RPM (rotations per minute) was between 80 and 90 whenever I happened to glance over, and when she checked her heart rate it tended to be around 150.
I was doing a hill program, which meant there were lots of segments of high resistance, and I had the base level set at 5 for the first half, 6 for the second. My RPM was like 85-95 and my heart rate never got above 125. It sat around 111 most of the time.
I'm not trying to show off by saying my endurance must be better, or whatever. I honestly felt a little annoyed that my heart rate was so low. There I was spending an hour and a half trying to get a good cardiovascular workout in and apparently my heart was chilling out like it was no big thing.
I don't know how high my heart rate gets when I run, but I wish there was a better way to approximate my running workouts. Swimming is supposed to be pretty good, but right now I can't swim for extended periods of time because my breathing is so inadequate. I think I'm going to try swimming every day this coming week to see if I can improve with more practice. I haven't swum in at least three weeks.
Or maybe every other day. Every day sounds like a lot…

If I'm right, a low heart rate means that you're very much in shape and that you are very healthy! I heard a rumor that said that Lance Armstrong's (scandal aside, he was very much in shape) resting/sleeping heart rate is only 30 bpm, which is crazy low.
I'm not sure whether or not swimming will help your heart rate, but more oxygen sounds awesome to me! May your foot get better faster!
I have exactly the opposite problem – I'm keen to tone up and shift a few kilos, but can't keep the ol' ticker chugging at an even pace in the fat-burning zone. Partly it's inclined to go crazy anyway, partly I need to keep working at it. Don't worry too much about the science, I reckon – sometimes you just have to give it what you've got, and trust that if you always give it 100% you'll always be moving toward your goals!
Good luck with it all
I can't run anymore because of my foot injury so I use an exercise bike for fitness. I am sorry you have an injury knowing how much you love to keep fit and have this marathon in May xx

Sept. 27, 2005
Worcester, Mass. - Maurizio Silvestri netted the game-winning goal just over four minutes into the first overtime to lead the Hartford men's soccer team to a thrilling 2-1 win over Holy Cross on Tuesday afternoon at the Hart Soccer Field. The Crusaders have now lost two straight and fall to 5-4 (0-1 Patriot League), while the Hawks improve to 3-4-1 (0-0 America East).
The Hawks opened up the scoring in the 64th minute when Andrew Peterson collected the rebound off of Richard Whipple's initial save from Kenniel Martin's shot and placed the ball into the back of the net to give Hartford a 1-0 advantage after a scoreless first half of play.
The Crusaders wasted no time evening the score, though, when junior forward Josh Trott tallied his Patriot League-leading sixth goal of the season after he beat Hartford keeper Morgan Faust to tie the game at 1-1 in the 67th minute.
With just over 10 minutes remaining in the game, Silvestri found himself in front of an empty net, but sent the would-be go ahead goal off the left post. Less than seven minutes later, Holy Cross had an opportunity to take the lead in regulation, when freshman Alejandro Melean got control of a mishandled ball by Faust, but was unable to get a shot off while standing just yards from the goal line.
After finishing the remainder of the second half deadlocked at one-all, Silvestri scored the golden goal when he floated a curving ball into the top left corner of the goal to give the Hawks the win.
The Crusaders held both a shot advantage (14-11) and a corner kick advantage (8-1) over their visitors. Whipple made three saves on the afternoon, while Faust finished with six stops for the Hawks.
Holy Cross hosts league foe Lehigh University on Saturday, October 1 at 3:00 p.m. The Crusaders are 0-1 in conference play this season after a 2-0 loss to Bucknell on Saturday.

Lagos — Taiwo and Kehinde Isaac-Toye, also known as Twin-X, have said that they quit X Large House for M & C Music because they were used as sacrificial lambs for a musical group called Maintain.
The identical twins, who recently released an album entitled Plenty Money, said Big Bamo made them play the second fiddle to Maintain after their hit single entitled Mother Mi in 2001.
"Maintain had a better deal while we were denied the perks that accompanied a recording deal," they said.
Continuing, the twins said with the new-found fortune of Maintain on the music scene, Big Bamo, the CEO of X Large House also became a visible part of the group and it became a three-man affair. In an attempt to boost their musical career, the duo sought greener pasture with M & C Music and this paid off when the show promoters/label owners, Mike Disu and Charles Odunlami signed them on recently.
Their album, Plenty Money, comprises eight tracks with songs like Miliki, a remix of Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey's Miliki Express, Cinderella, Mother Mi, Ninu ile, Plenty Money, the title track and Until I Meet You featuring ace producer OJB.

Horsfield was born in Philadelphia and studied medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. In 1800 he travelled to Java for the first time and worked there as a doctor for many years. The East India Company took control of the island from the Dutch in 1811, and Horsfield began to collect plants and animals on behalf of his friend Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles. In 1819 he was forced to leave the island due to ill health and became keeper and later curator of the East India Company's museum in Leadenhall Street, London.
Horsfield wrote Zoological Researches in Java and the Neighbouring Islands (1824). He also classified a number of birds with Nicholas Aylward Vigors, most notably in their A description of the Australian birds in the collection of the Linnean Society; with an attempt at arranging them according to their natural affinities (Trans. Linn. Soc. Lond. (1827)). Together with the botanists Robert Brown and John Joseph Bennett he published the Plantae Javanicae rariores (1838–52).
Horsfield was appointed assistant secretary of the Zoological Society of London at its formation in 1826. In 1833, he was a founder of what became the Royal Entomological Society of London. He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1828.
Horsfield died at his home in Camden Town and was buried at the Moravian cemetery in Chelsea.
Horsfield is commemorated in the names of a number of animals, including the Russian Tortoise Testudo horsfieldii, the Javanese Flying Squirrel Iomys horsfieldii, the Horsfield's Fruit Bat Cynopterus horsfieldi and the Malabar Whistling-thrush Myophonus horsfieldii.

There are a lot of bunk beds for boys with interesting models and cool designs. In fact, it can be said as the most important part from the other decorations. Is that correct? All depends on the design and model of bunk beds. Instead, choose a model that makes them feel ease and comfortable in the bedroom, a design which can improve their imagination.
Start choosing a model with a different structure from classic design. Now, there are many options can be found in the market. You could have bought bunk beds with a classic design and turn it into something different and unique.

Even as us natives complain daily about the heat, humidity, and traffic in Houston, our city is still a beacon of hope to some. Enough to land near the top of a recent list by a national blog detailing the country's most aspirational cities.
Yes, even as you wallow in sweat, Houston is still third on a list by The Daily Beast of 15 cities that are attracting the ambitious by being "culturally vibrant, modest sized, long on jobs, and short on traffic."
OK, two out of four isn't so bad. We got culture, we got jobs, but we're pretty big and sometimes traffic drives us to seppuku in the car.
Austin and New Orleans come in at first and second on the list. Those are two pretty big drinking cities. Does that mean Houston needs to step up the booze game? Obviously.
The Bayou City's ability to attract businesses and people from around the country and also abroad was a big factor as well.
The Daily Beast laid out their criteria as such:
To determine America's current aspirational hotspots, we focused in large part on economic indicators, such as employment growth, per capita income, and unemployment. But we also took into account demographic factors, such as the growth of domestic migration and the movement of college-educated people and the foreign born.
Finally, we considered quality-of-life factors such as traffic congestion, housing affordability, and crowding—which are keenly relevant to young families hunting for the places with the best "inventory of the possible."
The Beast piece also notes that Texas created 1 million jobs, a figure five times greater than New York state, which will make the folks angry about comedian Lewis Black's recent tirade on Texas feel a bit better.
San Antonio (9), and Dallas (11) also made the list.
