What's in a (Baby) Name?
When Inspiration Strikes
April Groom, a music teacher in Atlanta, was using a highlighter to mark top contenders in name books when something caught her eye -- the CD collection of her partner Victor, also a music teacher.
She had heard of other parents using Miles (after Miles Davis) but wanted to be original, picking Coltrane to honor another jazz great (John Coltrane).
"Good thing [he was a boy] because it was the only name we agreed on!" she says.
Melanie Davis and her husband Brian looked to their family tree. While visiting Brian's parents one weekend, Brian's father mentioned Preston, his grandfather's name. Melanie and Brian looked at each other and smiled -- they had found their son's name.
Eve Chen admits that she named her baby girl Evyn after the "Rock Band" avatar she made up for herself. Most people think her daughter Evyn's name is a mix of her first name, Eve, and her husband's name, Aaron. "I say it doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks as long as you like the name and you're not setting your child up for teasing down the line," she says.
A name can even spark a ritual that you can share with your child. Joanne Rendell, a novelist in New York City, named her son Benny after her favorite Mexican restaurant in the East Village, Benny's Burritos. "I ate there all the time when I was pregnant, and now it's my son's favorite place to eat," she says.
Baby Naming Remorse
For some couples, the baby name discussion can lead to heated conversations.
Maria Lijoi, a mother of two, recalls how her husband Tom nixed every name she proposed, including Stella, her favorite, because he'd feel like Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire every time their daughter misbehaved.
"I almost resorted to playing the 'I'm the one who has to deal with being pregnant, can't you just let me have the name I want' card but thought better of guilting him into a name he didn't like," she says.
Tom created a spreadsheet to list acceptable first and middle name combinations before they settled on Alexandra Jane and Caitlin Ava. "We did wait until we saw both girls to make sure it fit," Maria says.

'Instructions Not Included'
Something of a surprise hit at the box office, this comedy-drama stars director and co-writer Eugenio Derbez - popular on Mexican television - as a carefree fellow shocked to find a baby left at his doorstep.
He relocates to Los Angeles to find the child's mother, picking up work as a stuntman along the way and eventually settling into his new life ... only to find it upended when the mom reappears, wanting custody. Loreto Peralta plays the daughter in later years; Jessica Lindsey also stars. DVD extra: audio commentary by Derbez. *** (PG-13: AS, P) (Also on Blu-ray and On Demand)

All natural, sugar free, low carb, low GI and gluten free, these recipes are delicious, healthy and perfect for people with high blood sugar levels, anyone on a weight loss program or just the health conscious who want to reduce the amount of sugar in their diet.
Most of us want to lose weight at some point in our lives, and get fitter. Xylitol products make it much easier for you to whittle down your waistline because the natural sweetener has approximately 75% less carbohydrates and 40% less calories than sugar.
Xylitol is a perfect sugar free alternative for anyone who wants to lead a healthy lifestyle and feel good every day. It is one of the best presents Mother Nature can give our bodies and can be used in place of sugar and artificial sweeteners.
Xylitol is diabetic friendly. The natural sweetener is metabolized without insulin, thereby creating a lower glycaemic effect. In fact it has a glycaemic index of just 7. Now compare that to sugar, which has a glycaemic index of 65.
Don't worry if you follow a gluten-free diet and still want to enjoy cakes, desserts, chewing gum and sweets. Just because you have a sensitivity to gluten doesn't mean you have to miss out.
Having been diagnosed with diabetes, I soon discovered SweetLife on my journey to a sugar free existence. After having tried many sweeteners available in the supermarket...
I am 80 and have used Perfect Sweet™ as a sugar replacement for over a year. I am very happy with the product.
I am so glad that we found out about SweetLife! I suffer from many stomach related problems, and now having Perfect Sweet™ xylitol has made my life so much better! ...

|Short review: We reviewed this pornographic net several months ago and it was 5-star worthy then and its 5-star worthy currently. Mofos Network has done a great job of giving the people what they want alluring missies, fresh faces, and amateur-style vidz.

I am happy doing just about anything as long as I'm with someone I care about...a relationship should be more than just the proverbial 50-50...
I also love riding my motorcycle...the freedom and sights you see on a bike are a wonder and joy all to their own, but that is just a fun activity - not my whole life. I have a cultural side as well, enjoy the theater, romantic dinners or just hanging out watching an old (or new) movie on TV. I enjoy closeness and affection. If you pride yourself with loyalty and honesty, I would love to hear from you. Go ahead and hit that keyboard if you're truly interested in meeting someone nice. Please don't contact me if just want an email pal, have only a very limited time for a relationship or have lied/misstated the truth on your profile.

Final drive oil mist
Hey all,
So I'm tackling the oil leaks on my old beast. Here's one I can't seem to get no matter what I try. Here's what it looks like after about 1000 km or running after cleaning it up.
And full sized image if anyone wants to look:
I've used new crush washers, and tightened it down as far as I feel comfortable, i.e. I don't want to strip it. I'm about to either make a cork washer or find an O-ring that will fit over the fill plug. I never have oil laying there, or dripping. It's just enough to gather the dirt and dust and I know it's there.
Any suggestions?
Little nicks or grooves on the mating surfaces? I think you may be able to find a nylon washer, most autoparts should have an assortment of drain plug washers, maybe one that fits there.
Find what is called a "stat-o-seal."It is a metal washer with a rubber ring built into the I.D.Probably
you can find it at a hydraulic supply, or sealing -gasket supply
Is it leaking from the filler or collecting mist from the breather due to a pocket of low pressure?
Does that area get extra dusty on a dirt road?
Google bmwmotorcycletech.info. and see what Snowbum has to say on this. You'll find an answer on his website.
I don't think it's coming out the vent. Not a sign of it there. When it's real cold though it can and does puke oil out of it though. That's not what's happening here though.
I'm not sure about the low pressure idea. It's rather specifically centred around the oil fill and not a speck anywhere else. Somewhat odd that.
I'll look for the various drain plug washers. The seating surface looks good to the naked eye. I've never noticed the oil level being down, except for the aforementioned cold weather vomiting.
As far as Snowbum's page, I have some articles bookmarked. I find it rather difficult to find anything in there! Information overload in spades!
Verify oil level is at the BOTTOM of the threads.
Sometimes overfilling of the shaft will make lube pass the pinion seal and overfill the rear drive. Keep topping up the shaft, more transfer to the rear drive.
Go at the seal surface with some 400 grit. Get a pristine matte surface. Same for the fill plug surface that mates with the seal. You can even do the same to the seal itself.
Lube is designed to flow into areas smaller than you can see with the eye. Amazing what can been seen with a 10X hand glass that is invisible to the eye. One of the top 10 tools in my bag of tricks.
I agree with DoktorT.
First make sure that the fill plug is sealing 100% and then make sure that youre not overfilling the rear drive.
I frequently polish the crush seal using some fine wet/dry paper lubed with a little WD-40 but the surface of the drive needs to be a clean and undamaged as you can get it.
Try that and report back.:wink:

Whether you are defending the colony from a hornet invasion by manning goo cannons, racing an obstacle course with a team of ants, or foraging for food, the game keeps things fresh. Too bad none of it is exciting. [Feb. 2007, p.102]
Ant Bully is your typical video game tie in with a little extra sprinkled on top. Unfortunately, more often than not these bits of extra seem like rushed afterthoughs rather than core gameplay elements.

Hi, I'm KC, 29, originally from SoCal; I am a lover of travel, adventure and the arts. I have a great sense of humor, love to laugh and have a very playful side.

I am currently in school working towards my degree and in my spare time volunteer with a humanitarian organization that is devoted to contributing to change society through peace, culture and education. I'm looking for someone with a good heart and an open mind, who shares my passion for travel and exploring diverse cultures. Opening the car door doesn't hurt either. : )

Uwem Akpan's first published short story, "An Ex-mas Feast," appeared in The New Yorker's Debut Fiction issue in 2005. The story's portrait of a family living together in a makeshift shanty in urban Kenya, and their attempts to find gifts of any kind for the impending Christmas holiday, gives a matter-of-fact reality to the most extreme circumstances—and signaled the arrival of a breathtakingly talented writer.
"My Parents' Bedroom" is a Rwandan girl's account of her family's struggles to maintain a facade of normalcy amid unspeakable acts. In "Fattening for Gabon," a brother and sister cope with their uncle's attempt to sell them into slavery. "Luxurious Hearses" creates a microcosm of Africa within a busload of refugees and introduces us to a Muslim boy who summons his faith to bear a treacherous ride through Nigeria. "What Language Is That?" reveals the emotional toll of the Christian-Muslim conflict in Ethiopia through the eyes of childhood friends. Every story is a testament to the wisdom and resilience of children, even in the face of the most agonizing situations our planet can offer.
About The Author
From the Publisher:
Each story in this jubilantly acclaimed collection pays testament to the wisdom and resilience of children, even in the face of the most agonizing circumstances.
A family living in a makeshift shanty in urban Kenya scurries to find gifts of any kind for the impending Christmas holiday. A Rwandan girl relates her family's struggles to maintain a facade of normalcy amid unspeakable acts. A young brother and sister cope with their uncle's attempt to sell them into slavery. Aboard a bus filled with refugees-a microcosm of today's Africa-a Muslim boy summons his faith to bear a treacherous ride across Nigeria. Through the eyes of childhood friends the emotional toll of religious conflict in Ethiopia becomes viscerally clear.
Uwem Akpan's debut signals the arrival of a breathtakingly talented writer who gives a matter-of-fact reality to the most extreme circumstances in stories that are nothing short of transcendent.Â
After reading this painfully affective collection of profound short stories, written from the point of view of children from five different countries in Africa, every complaint we might make about our lives seems insignificant. In his stunning literary debut, Uwem Akpan, a Jesuit priest who was born and raised in Nigeria, evokes the casual atrocities of life in modern Africa, horrors whose edges are honed by the dull resignation with which the characters accept them. In one story, an eight-year-old boy in Kenya tries to rectify the guilt he feels from knowing that his 12-year-old sister is selling her body to support her family and his education. Another tale adds a morbid twist to a fairy tale theme, as a brother and sister in Gabon realize that their uncle is attempting to fatten them up to be sold into slavery. The most wrenching story depicts the crimson chaos of the Rwandan genocide, as seen through the eyes of the young daughter of a Hutu-Tutsi marriage. Akpan writes with riveting wisdom and emotional density, prudently ignoring the temptation for authorial flourish as he presents each horrific scene in the lucid prose of a child.

I'd say I have a good sense of humor and love to laugh. I place great value in honesty and integrity. I'm a happy camper and I prefer a partner with those same qualities as well as a warm and caring heart and a super smile. I'm a regular sort of guy – not rich – not poor. I'm not the guy who will go skydiving with you and I don't have a yacht to sail to the Islands. I live on a lake with a dock and enjoy fishing and my woodworking shop. I can be persuaded but I'm not a big fan of dance clubs and the like. However, if you want to crank up the stereo, get down and dance wild around the kitchen floor – that sounds even better to me. I enjoy going out to dinner (a lot) or out with friends. But I also enjoy activities at home and the company of friends and loved ones . Travel? Yes – To a degree, I enjoy all kinds of travel. I think my favorite travel is "road trips", exploring off the main road type places. And maybe discover one of those "diners, drive-ins and dives". My taste in music is varied. Among my favorites: The Rainbow Connection (Sara McLachlan), Pachelbel's Canon, Shotgun (Junior Walker), Diamonds of the Soles of her Shoes (Paul Simon), The Prayer (Bocelli Dion), Devoted to You (Carly and JT) and many others. Gardening / Landscape: I enjoy working in my yard. I'm a Florida Master Gardener. I think that when love happens, it need not be difficult or complicated. The words from the song "Evergreen" maybe says it best: Love soft as an easy chair Love fresh as the morning air One love that is shared by two I have found with you Well, there it is.... and here I am. Update - I'm not quite sure how best to say it - I'm much more interested in quality times with loved ones and making a house into a "home" than I am things like attending concerts or the theater, etc. That's just the person I am and my values.
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Fishing/Hunting , Gardening/Landscaping , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Political interests , Religion/Spiritual , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports
I like Dogs
My Labrador Retriever recently died. I'd like another and have been attending dog shows, talking to breeders, etc.. But I'll probably go with a rescue pooch as I did last time.
Middle of the Road
My favorite travel destinations are where history is rich but also natural locations that are unspoiled..
State University of New York at Plattsburgh, Plattsburgh, NY
A campfire, the smell of sawdust in a wood shop, salt air, sharing stuff with my loved one, a great steak, prime rib with yorkshire pudding, home made ice cream, and on....
I love to barbeque, fun gatherings and events. But I also enjoy enjoy life's simple pleasures - good company, good food, a good movie, laughter, the sound and smell of rain, etc..

When standard manufacturing resource planning (MRP) tools are not powerful enough, production managers turn to more robust and more complicated, production planning and scheduling systems (aka "advanced planning & scheduling"). These best-of-breed planning systems use advanced mathematical models to better simulate the production environment. We wrote this buyer's guide to help buyers unravel the web of manufacturing planning and scheduling solutions.
Here's what we'll cover:
What Is Manufacturing Production Planning and Scheduling Software?
What Type of Buyer Are You?
Benefits and Potential Issues
Market Trends to Understand
"Theory is closer to practice in theory than in practice" is a truism in complex manufacturing. Manufacturing resource planning software is used by manufacturers to allocate raw materials and plan production. MRP works well for manufacturers that have large runs or few products. However, the planning methodologies used by most MRP applications cannot handle the demands of large numbers of small runs of products, orders that change frequently or large numbers of make-to-order (MTO) or customized products. That's where manufacturing and planning scheduling software comes in.
Manufacturing scheduling software extends MRP in four important ways.
Manufacturing schedule software is best suited to operations that specialize in MTO or assemble to order (ATO) operations and in agile facilities. They are also useful for organizations that use a large number of components or have complex tasks. Finally, they are critical for firms that have a limited facility that is shared among different product lines that are competing for resources.
The first step in evaluating production planning software is to determine what kind of buyer you are. Over 90 percent of buyers fall into one of these three groups:
Enterprise resource planning suite buyer. These buyers value the seamless integration of data and processes that comes from having one system for all functions. For example, they would prefer a full-suite system for estimating, work-in-progress management and accounting that can automatically turn an estimate into a budget for project management, and then match invoices to project status and allocate job costs. These buyers favor ERP software vendors like Oracle, SAP, Sage ERP or Microsoft Dynamics.
Departmental buyer. These buyers work in facilities that are shared by product lines from different vendors. They are balancing demands from different product managers and must schedule production and justify the schedule to peers and management.
Small manufacturer. Small organizations often have limited budgets and fewer IT resources to dedicate to software. In many cases, they may be deciding between a new system and a new piece of equipment. These buyers need cost-effective solutions that are easy to implement and use. They are seeking solutions that maximize the profitability of their plant or job shop.
MRP systems, whether stand-alone or incorporated in an ERP system, offer distinct benefits over less formal systems. These include:
Better use of equipment. Manufacturing planning and scheduling systems increase company utilization of equipment. For example, the system can prioritize the use of the most expensive equipment to lower that equipment's cost per project or can prioritize the less expensive equipment to decrease costs across jobs.
Increased profitability. The combination of increasing utilization and prioritizing the more profitable jobs leads to increased profitability.
Identifying bottlenecks. Planning and scheduling systems can identify bottlenecks and their associated procedures or equipment, giving managers an opportunity to boost productivity even further by adding machines or updating methodologies.
One of the biggest issues that arrive from using production planning and scheduling systems is the tendency for managers to "tweak" the system's recommendations. This can lead to suboptimal results. If the planning and scheduling system continually gives information with which the manager disagrees, the assumptions must be re-examined or the manager should receive additional training.
While you evaluate production planning and scheduling systems, make sure you consider these market trends:
Convergence with MRP. As the power of desktop computing continues to grow, traditional MRP systems are adding advance planning functions to their toolkits. Planning algorithms that were once only found in high-end planning systems are now in more moderately priced MRP or ERP systems.
Direct interface with shop floor equipment. Some planning and scheduling systems can get utilization information from equipment, either directly or through the manufacturing execution system. This provides two advantages, the information is more current and it does not have to be entered by hand.
Increased employee satisfaction. Production planning systems can consider employee preferences when allocating resources to a job, allowing employees to work preferred hours or on preferred jobs.
Planning using data visualization. Traditional MRP systems produce reports and planning schedules. Manufacturing planning and scheduling systems do, too, but they are also beginning to offer other visualization tools, such as graphical comparisons of the results of different models.
We're able to offer this service to buyers for free, because software vendors pay us on a "pay-per-lead" basis. Buyers get great advice. Sellers get great referrals.

Rousey gets UFC belt, Cris Cyborg must make 135
At the UFC 153 post fight press conference, UFC President Dana White offered some details on women in the UFC.
The UFC women's bantamweight title will go to Strikeforce bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey, without a fight. It is uncertain who her first challenger will be, but if it is Cris 'Cyborg' Santos, she must make 135, and White did not seem particularly enthusiastic about the possibility.
"Our matchmakers have talked to their camp, and she doesn't seem too excited to fight Ronda," White said.
Cyborg can apply for a license to fight in January, following a one year suspension and loss of the Strikeforce 145-pound title after testing positive for the use of the Performance Enhancing Drug Stanozolol.
Who ever Rousey fights, the date has not been determined, although it will be on PPV, and Rousey will headline, unless a champion of greater weight fights on the card.
"We're bringing in the 135-pound division," said White. "I'm trying this whole women's thing out. Obviously, Ronda is the champ. I think Ronda has the potential to be a big star. She's already getting media that we've never even gotten before, and she's never even set foot in the UFC yet. That's the division that we're bringing in."
However unenthusiastic White was about Santos, he is determined to make Women in the UFC work, even saying Rousey and female challenger could potentially coach male fighters on TUF.

This.. Rousey also wanted a fight with Cyborg prior to Cyborg getting popped so her attitude has changed a bit. Still say she takes it though.

Cyborg is bad for female mma.
12/6/12 10:10 AM by Steve4192
Twice .... both times as a result of a sloppy throw attempt by Cyborg that Gina reversed. Cyborg LOVES to get into clinch range and muscle her opponents. Her entire striking game is built around the old Chute Boxe model of moving forward, throwing power shots, and grabbing the clinch whenever your opponent lets you get in that close. Unfortunately, she is not very technical when it comes to her clinch work. She mostly just muscles her opponents around. If she tries that against a world class judoka, she is going to get dumped on her head.
12/6/12 10:02 AM by OMGClayGuida
Am I the only person here who thinks Rousey would beat Cyborg quite comprehensively?Does anyone remember the Cybrog Vs. Carrano fight? That was nowhere near as one sided as people thought it would be. Didn't Gina have Cyborg mounted at one point?I think Rousey beats Cyborg and she does it fast when she gets her to the ground. Her Judo game is too good for her not to be able to take the fight there too. I hope the fight happens. Those people saying Cyborg walks through Rousey will be shocked.
12/6/12 9:51 AM by Whambo
Without Gina, we probably wouldn't have Ronda. Without Bisping UK MMA wouldn't be as developed as it is now. Fact is big stars = development, and with Ronda coming in we could see a big explosion in women's MMA. Hopefully this leads to a TUF season where at least half the fighters are women which will give some much needed depth to the division.People seem to think WMMA will not work because of how shitty it has been in boxing. But the UFC is totally dif than the boxing model, they really do have a chance to develop the division and build stars. Dana talks about a female boxer that could have been big, but every female boxer pretty much ducked her. You can't get away with that shit in the UFC.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 6/6/13
Rookie linebacker Rufus Johnson hopes his journey from Division II to the NFL in New Orleans is boosting his ailing father's morale. Indeed, while many Saints were preparing to enjoy a weekend off following the final practice on minicamp on Thursday, Johnson planned a short flight home to Dallas and some quality time in the hospital room of his father, Rufus Sr. ''When I do get to talk to my dad, I got a feeling I keep my father strong,'' said Johnson, who declined to go into detail about his father's illness beyond saying it related to diabetes. ''I'm the reason my father is still here.'' The 6-foot-5, 272-pound Johnson, drafted in the sixth round out of Tarleton State, is only the latest example of the Saints hoping to mine small college programs for big-league talent. Since coach Sean Payton took over in 2006, they've found one of the NFL's best offensive guards, Jahri Evans, at Division II Bloomsburg, and one of the franchise's all-time great receivers, Marques Colston, at Ho...

As temperatures begin to rise, it's time to begin thinking about one of the great pleasures of springtime: an afternoon sitting under the shade of a blossoming tree, stationed at a long table, hoisting a liter mug of beer. Maybe even playing a game of dominoes.
Yes, beer garden season has arrived. So let's take the time to thank two groups of people — the Germans who invented lager, and the Germans who immigrated to the U.S. in the second half of the nineteenth century. If it weren't for them, baseball would likely be our only excuse to sip suds in the sun.
Unlike the ales that constituted all the world's beer before the middle of the nineteenth century, the lager yeasts discovered in Bavaria at that time required a different type of fermentation. Ales — produced through the addition of top-fermenting yeast — ferment rapidly, at warm temperatures. Lagers, contrarily, depend on a slow, cool fermentation, ideally at temperatures between 45–56 degrees Fahrenheit. And after fermentation is complete, they need to be stored and aged for several months, at even cooler temperatures.
This was an era before refrigeration, however, so Bavarian brewers dug out large underground cellars for stashing the barrels while the beer "lagered." To ensure fuller protection from the sun, they then scattered gravel over the ground and planted leafy chestnut and linden trees, which, as they grew, would provide ample shade from the sun.
Someone did the math. Shade, gravel, beer — all just off the banks of Munich's Isar River, which provided an additional source of cooling for the beer. Put some tables and chairs outside, and start the taps. Beer garden culture was born.
In the U.S. to this point, our drinking culture came from the British Isles, where men would gather in inns or public houses to knock back their ales and spirits — generally far from the view of women and children. Meanwhile in Germany, Sundays (in particular) at the beer gardens had become a family affair.
And when Germans started streaming across the Atlantic in the middle of the nineteenth century, they brought their beer gardens along with them, to cities like Milwaukee, Cincinnati, New York, and Baltimore. According to Andrew Barr, author of Drink: A Social History of America, while some of these American versions were actual gardens, others were simply indoor halls with long tables. Some had plants as a reminder of their outdoor origins. Occasionally, a large mural lined a wall, depicting a scene of natural splendor.
But even without sunlight, these destinations offered more than just beer. Kitchens turned out old country fare like schnitzel and wursts. And there was plenty of other entertainment too. In her book America Walks into A Bar, a history of American public drinking, Christine Sismondo notes that many of these gardens hosted shooting galleries, bowling alleys, and live classical music. Some spots even charged admissions, for certain patrons would come simply for the tunes and the atmosphere but would abstain from the libations available.
For a sense of the classic, pre-prohibition era of American beer gardens, take a trip to Astoria, Queens to visit the Bohemian Hall and Beer Garden. The oldest beer garden in New York City, they've been pouring out beer inside and outside since 1910. The space is a notable inspiration to contemporary restaurateurs, such as Aaron McGovern and Jeepo Vorobjovas, who opened Washington, D.C.'s Biergarten Haus in 2010, and Philadelphia's Stephen Starr, who launched Frankford Hall in 2011. There aren't any beer barrels aging in the cellar here, but with gravel on the ground and linden trees arching their branches overhead, the spirit of Bavaria shows demonstrates its continued appeal. Prost!

I see the pics, and they're pretty good. 3, 4, 5 and 7 are my favorites, while the others seem rather unfinished. 1 bothers me in particular because it looks like it is almost there, but lacks just a tiny bit of polish. Perhaps try to get rid of some of the fuzziness that you see on certain edges. I think that would tighten it up nicely.
But overall it's very good stuff.

amazing work, love the last one!
most of the buildings look really smooth and clean, I don't know if you did this on purpose, it adds a unnatural touch to the scenes. some bricks and texture would give a more natural feel I guess. But these look like you are skilled enough to know what you do, so...

The last one just says "Barbizon school" to me, at least. I love it. Did you study from doing plein-aire?
My only qualm is that the walls of the castle look to smooth, in a "this is paint, not life" way. It could be greatly enhanced with the right kind of texture and wobbly lines, as I like to call them. Aka bedbug lines.
I love your creative concepts for the architecture overall in each piece.

Great works!
Though the exterieurs (buildings etc) are in a bit in strange style i think.
Like the trees are very detailed and the buildings( bricks etc) are a bit to clean. But maybe thats on purpose?
Overall very nice pieces!!

Medellin-based VivaColombia will launch its first international service in the third quarter of 2014, and six new domestic routes from a new base in Bogota.
In the third quarter of 2014, the airline will begin non-stop service between Medellin and Panama City, and between Bogota and Panama City. In the fourth quarter, it will launch Bogota-Lima flights.
A VivaColombia spokesperson says the airline has also received approvals to launch flights to Mexico City and Cancun from Medellin, but does not plan to begin these flights in 2014.
The six new domestic routes from Bogota are: Pereira, San Andrés, Montería, Cúcuta, Bucaramanga and Santa Marta.
The airline will add two Airbus A320 family aircraft to its fleet of five aircraft, says the spokesperson. The two new A320s will be based in Bogota, she says.
Recent reports quote Declan Ryan, who has a share in VivaColombia through the Irelandia fund, as saying that the airline could operate 50 aircraft "within a few years". Ryan's family founded Ryanair.
VivaColombia executive chairman Juan Emilio Posada told Flightglobal in November that the airline plans to announce a fleet expansion decision soon.
VivaAerobus, the Mexican corporate sibling of VivaColombia, announced in October an order for 52 A320s.
In October 2013, almost one and a half year after its launch, VivaColombia has become Colombia's third largest airline with a 9.4% market share, trailing Avianca and LAN Colombia, but surpassing Copa Colombia as it nearly doubled its October 2012 traffic.
The Colombian market continues to be one of the fastest growing domestic markets worldwide, with the January to October 2013 traffic exceeding that of the same period in the previous year by 18.6%. VivaColombia was responsible for nearly half of the growth in domestic air traffic for these months.
The Colombian domestic traffic volume, in which VivaColombia aspires to reach a market share of 25% within the next couple of years, is predicted to come close to 20 million passengers for the full year in 2013.

usually do not need treatment. Because a ganglion is not cancerous and may
disappear with time, your doctor may recommend watching the ganglion to be sure
nothing serious develops while waiting for it to go away.
Treatment may be needed when a ganglion:
Nonsurgical treatment is usually
tried first. It may include:
Ganglions often return. Ganglions on the wrist may return
in up to 9 out of 10 people using nonsurgical treatment.1
If a
ganglion returns after nonsurgical treatment,
surgical removal may be needed. The goal of surgery is
to remove the ganglion sac and the connecting tissue that allows the fluid to
collect. Ganglions return in about 5% to 10% of people after surgery.1 This may happen if the connecting tissue is not completely
removed. A new ganglion may also form near the site of the removed ganglion.
Infection and injury to other tissues are rare, but possible, risks of
mucous cyst ganglion is treated by removing the
ganglion fluid (aspiration) or surgical removal. Bone spurs (small,
bony growths that form along a
joint) are often present in the joint next to a mucous
cyst, and removing bone spurs makes it less likely that the cyst will return.
The chance of infection is higher in mucous cysts.
Ganglions are the most common
noncancerous soft-tissue bumps on the hands and wrists. Ganglions are usually
painless and do not cause other symptoms. After being reassured that the
ganglion is not a symptom of a more serious condition, many people do not seek
further treatment.
Ganglions may disappear without any treatment
and may return with or without treatment.
Some people seek
treatment for their ganglion because it is unpleasant to look at.

I'm not that experienced with databases. If I have a database table containing a lot of empty cells, what's the best way to leave them (e.g. so performance isn't degraded, memory is not consumed, if this is even possible)?
I know there's a "null" value. Is there a "none" value or equivalent that has no drawbacks? Or by just not filling the cell, it's considered empty, so there's nothing left to do? Sorry if it's silly question. Sometimes you don't know what you don't know...
Not trying to get into a discussion of normalizing the database. Just wondering what the conventional wisdom is for blank/empty/none cells.

Another day, way too much Miley Cyrus. Which is why we're taming her untamable ways by keeping her caged in a single post for the day.
Miley is completely removing her ex Liam Hemsworth from her life. The singer has sent all the clothes he left behind to a charity thrift store. "Miley wanted everything gone," a source said to the Daily Mail, "so she sent Liam's clothes off to a local charity store that benefits people with HIV and AIDS." [Daily Mail]
"Project Runway" mentor Tim Gunn would lightly whip Miley into shape if he could. "I think I would haul off and give her a great big b*tch slap. She needs to be shocked into listening." [InTouch]
Liam can't be bothered though, as he's focusing on filming the third installment of the Hunger Games series, Mockingjay in Atlanta. As evidenced by these set photos, we doubt anyone really cares if he has a few less shirts in his wardrobe. Not to mention he's spending all his free time still talking to Eiza González. [Daily Mail]
While Liam's throwing himself into his role as Gale, Miley could be throwing herself in a different kind of film altogether. That is, if she accepts this offer from an XXX entertainment company to direct a p*rno for one million dollars. [Hollyscoop]
Not that it would do anything to make Miley fall off the scene; she's not going anywhere anytime soon. Miley is set to perform at the AMAs in November. [Hollyscoop]

The definition of unnecessary-ness
Say that we should protest just to get arrested
That goes against all my hustling ethics
A bunch of jail niggas say it's highly ineffective
Depart from Martin, connect on Malcolm X tip
Lyric Meaning
Many people believe protesting is highly ineffective, you do all that protesting and in the end you end up getting arrested anyway (i.e. Civil Rights Protests, Occupy Movements etc). Lupe's saying it goes against what he believes, because no hustler would go out trying to get arrested. Lupe doesn't think that getting arrested is foolish, but he sees no point in getting arrested to send a message. You should try to get your message across and not worry about getting arrested. The only people who think that you should get thrown in jail just to prove a point are the people that already did that (the jail niggas).
Lupe then implores us to lean towards more aggressive self-defense, as advocated by Malcolm X rather than the non-violent resistance employed by Dr. King. While Dr. King did support non-violence, he also supported self-defense in the face of violence, and was a supporter of the 2nd amendment. He applied for an licence to carry, but was denied, most likely due to the times. .
The usage of "manifested" might allude to Manifest Destiny, which is the idea that the US is meant to rule from one coast of the American continent to the other.
