Jorges and Ales apartment is perfectly located with small shops, restaurants and bars sorrounding it. It's within walking distance to most attractions in Viña.
The furniture and decoration is simple but quite cozy with a generously sized dining and living room. The apartment was clean upon arrival and it is generously equipped.
Very much recomended!
looked exactly like described. lively neigbourhood with lots of restaurants and shops around ! Thanks a lot for the tasty chilean welcome Jorge ! mucho gusto !
Jorge was an amazing host, offering good communication as we planned ahead for our trip and then working with us despite our schedule changes due to travel delays. He met us at the airport when we arrived, giving us maps, keys, directions, tips and recommendations... not to mention a warm and friendly welcome to Chile! His ability to speak English helped a lot with our understanding and communication.
The apartment was in a perfect location - easy walking access to restaurants, markets, shopping, transportation of buses and the metro, and near our son's host family home. The Saturday market was a wonderful experience which allowed us to stock up on fresh food for the week! We found the apartment to be very comfortable for our group of five, with enough space to accommodate our needs and host guests who came to visit for meals. My 76-year-old father came with us on this trip - extra special because he was stationed here in the Navy in 1956 and was now able to see the area again, much changed!
It was also great to feel comfortable in the apartments secure building with a doorman on site at all times. We always felt safe in the neighborhood whether it was day or night, but it was still an added comfort to know the building was secure. The on site secure parking is an added bonus because street parking was limited, though the access is difficult with a larger vehicle.
The on-demand hot water system in the apartment took some getting used to as it needed to be run at full volume to ignite the system... a slower volume brought only cold water (though this could be due to our lack of understanding). It was very handy to have a garbage chute right outside the door. The kitchen was well stocked with all we needed for cooking and serving meals, which was very helpful. Extra blankets were available for the cooler evenings.
All in all, we were very pleased with Jorge and the apartment in Vina del Mar. We have already recommended this to others and wouldn't hesitate to rent from Jorge again if we're ever lucky enough to return to this beautiful area!
El departamento es excelente éramos 8 personas y estábamos muy cómodas, muy bien equipado. La ubicación del departamento es muy buena, zona muy céntrica y segura, cerca de restoranes y la playa. Jorge es una persona muy agradable y nos dio muy buenos datos de lugares donde ir y como viajar.
The apartment was fantastic, it had everything that we need for the time we stayed there, from pots a pans In the kitchen to a great location, close to many shops and the beach, which is very safe and the 24hr doorman service also ensures it's security.
Jorge and ale were very kind and helpful. They took the time to show us everything about the apartment, and the attractions in the local area and surrounding suburbs.
I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone, as the time here with my friends was awesome.
We came to see Vina where my daughter lived with host family and studied in Valparaiso for a semester. We found that apartment and were very happy with the accommodations and the location with the wonderful view. Jorge was very prompt in his responses via email as communicating without phones was a challenge. The concierge was very pleasant and offered help to us with a smile! Definitely would recommend Jorge and apartment.
Jorge was a great host and the apartment is awesome! It's exactly as pictured in the photos. My husband and I were in Vina for a wedding at the Casino so the apartment was in the perfect location, about 5 minute walk to the casino, beach, and San Martin restaurants. The apartment has a lot of space and is perfect for anyone who needs space and multiple bathrooms. I would not hesitate to book this apartment or with Jorge again. He was quick to respond and also has a tourism company that we used for a winery trip from Vina to Santiago.

Leisure Suit Larry Is A Fun Time For All 0
As a fan of the Leisure Suit Larry series I was skeptical about how this new Leisure Suit Larry game ( Leisure Suit Larry Magna Cum Laude) would stack up to the others in the series. The game takes a radical departure from the other games in the series. You no longer play as Leisure Suit Larry. Instead you play as Larry Laffer's nephew, Larry Loveage. Also, instead of a point and click adventure this game is a series of minigames. While some would consider this almost sacrilegious...0 out of 0 found this review helpful.

NVIDIA GeForce3 Preview
By: Mike Chambers - February 27, 2001
Today we will be previewing the GeForce3 which is NVIDIA's third generation graphics processing unit (GPU) which was developed internally under the code name NV20. Based on the NV2A, which is the graphics processor for the Xbox, NVIDIA continued the GeForce name due to strong brand name recognition.
The GeForce256 made it's debut some eighteen months ago and today's high-end models, such as the GeForce2 Pro and Ultra, are synonymous with unparalleled speed in rendering 3D graphics. The GeForce256 was a revolutionary product as it was the first graphics chipset that contained an on-board graphics processing unit targeted for the consumer market.
Prior to the GeForce, NVIDIA had achieved unprecedented success with its TNT series of chipsets. The TNT was a breakthrough in 3D graphics at the time as it was able to render multiple textures simultaneously. It was around this time that NVIDIA began to draw upon it's Silicon Graphics roots.
SGI has been a leader in the hardware acceleration of 3D graphics and with the development of OpenGL they were able to provide developers with a high level and powerful graphics language. SGI is focused on the professional workstation market, which includes computer aided applications for design, engineering, and manufacturing (CAD/CAM).
id Software's GLQuake
When John Carmack of id Software shook up the gaming community back in 1996 by using OpenGL to develop the graphics engine for Quake, the floodgates had opened. It was the beginning of the 3D graphics wars. And now we can clearly see the direction that NVIDIA took.
Outfitted with a strong management team, that was also technically savvy, and a burning desire to succeed, NVIDIA made an investment in designing a low-cost and powerful graphics processing unit for the mainstream user. NVIDIA began to develop extensions to the OpenGL language which allowed developers to expose the advanced features of the GeForce.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By Sara Kimberley, campaignlive.co.uk, Wednesday, 01 June 2011 08:50AM
"Lowrider," created by Driven, features the three fruit characters from previous Vimto ads driving around LA in a beaten-up car. They pull up to a set of traffic lights, next to three girls in a white convertible Mustang.
Russian Raspberry greets the girls with his familiar line, "Hello pretty ladies" before trying to impress them with their bouncing car.
The car bounces so high that the fruit are thrown together and explode into Vimto all over the girls. The strapline reads "seriously mixed up fruit".
The ad was directed by Frank Borin through Velvet Films, with visual effects and animation by The Mill in London. Media for the campaign was planned and bought by MEC Manchester. The ad will be supported by a Facebook campaign.
The ad goes live on Vimto's Facebook page today and premieres on TV on Friday.
Nick Brookes, managing partner at Driven, said: "'Seriously mixed up fruit' is a great example of how a big idea can permeate through every communication channel to dramatic effect. Vimto's brand value has increased by over 30% since the strategy was launched in 2009."

OFF-BOARD FARE PAYMENT USING PROOF-OF-PAYMENT VERIFICATION SUMMARY In the transit industry, if the subject of off-board fare payment and proof-of-payment (PoP) verification comes up, what follows normally are inquiries related to fare evasion. These inquiries typically start with an interest in learning how much evasion occurs and wonder- ing out loud about the honesty of most people. However, the subject is significantly more complex than evasion rates. It involves related subjects such as inspection rates, enforcement techniques, duties of fare inspection person- nel, adjudication processes, and the sort of penalties involved for evasion. Plus, there is a need for acquiring capital equipment, mainly ticket vending machines (TVMs) and, per- haps, handheld verification devices if the operator uses smart cards as part of its fare media. Use of off-board PoP fare collection allows convenient, quick, all-door passenger board- ing for transit systems. Generally, there are no conductors on board the transit vehicle, it is typically not possible to purchase a fare on board, and there are no barriers or gates to restrict entry onto a station platform. Transit customers typically purchase fare media at TVMs on the station platform, online, or at retail outlets, and carry their valid ticket or pass while riding. To enforce fare payment, inspection personnel check riders throughout the system, request that they show their proof of fare payment, and issue citations imposing a fine to riders without a valid ticket or pass. North American experience with PoP fare collection began with the SeaBus passenger ferry service in Vancouver, British Columbia, and then, in 1980�1981, with the light rail transit (LRT) systems in Edmonton and Calgary, Alberta, and San Diego, California. Most early applications of PoP that followed were limited to LRT systems. However, gradually, PoP fare collection has evolved to being used on bus rapid transit (BRT) and regular bus services, heavy rail transit, streetcars, passenger ferries, and commuter rail. Research on the subject of PoP fare collection was somewhat limited until 2002, when another TCRP report was published: TCRP Report 80: A Toolkit for Self-Service, Barrier- Free Fare Collection. The report provided a thorough summary of experiences related to application of PoP fare collection on transit systems in North America and internationally as well. TCRP Report 80 continues to be a worthwhile reference for any transit operator using PoP fare collection, and especially, for any operator considering use of PoP. Although some of the data in the report are out-of-date, its guidelines remain useful resource material. The basis for this study's scope of effort is to assess the North American state of practice concerning the sort of inquiries that were noted at the outset above and an update on the experiences reported in TCRP Report 80. This synthesis reports on the state of practice of PoP fare collection, including a literature review, a survey of transit agencies with PoP experience, and interviews with seven transit agencies. The focus of available research literature was implementation of PoP fare collection, BRT applications, and fare evasion. A summary of the findings follows:
OCR for page 11
2 � Enforcement practices are an essential part of the PoP fare collection function and, as such, operators must address the role of discretion in issuing citations for fare evasion. � Conversion of a traditional pay-on-boarding fare collection system to PoP fare collec- tion faces different issues than starting PoP on a new service. For cases involving a conversion, an incremental approach toward PoP implementation is a practical alterna- tive to doing it in a single shot. � The regular presence of uniformed officers on transit vehicles is likely to be seen by riders as the best way to provide them with a safe feeling while riding. � PoP fare collection has been found to have application for BRT services, but whether it will prove to be cost-effective will largely depend on the loading volumes at the BRT stops/stations and the need for boarding at the rear doors to ensure a relatively high bus operating speed. � The management of the fare inspection function and control of fare evasion will sig- nificantly benefit from collection of fare evasion data to permit disaggregate analysis (i.e., by time of day, day of week, and location). � A wealth of material was found to be available from transit operators that use PoP fare collection, such as policies and ordinances, performance reports, standard operating procedures, manuals, audits, and special reports. These materials are generally avail- able to other operators and provide a source of research not often available in the public forum. As a product of this study, a reference and resource base has been established within the TRB Committee on Light Rail Transit (Standing Committee AP075) web- site at http://research.lctr.org/trblrt/. � Fare evasion and fare abuses make for popular headlines in the local news media. It is important for PoP operators to be proactive and have a program and strategy for deal- ing with the media on fare abuse issues, including preparation of a regular manage- ment report that presents the data and trends related to fare evasion and a summary of enforcement efforts. The second major task of this study was to conduct an online survey. The survey was transmitted to 33 transit agencies, 27 in the United States and six in Canada. A 100% return resulted. Of these operators, 30 (90.9%) employed PoP fare collection for one or more their services in 2010�2011. Further, 29 of the 30 were either not considering any changes to PoP use (17 of them) or were in the process of implementing PoP on more services (12). Of the three operators not using PoP, two were considering using PoP for future services. A summary of the significant results from survey responses is provided here: � A majority of PoP fare enforcement personnel are directly employed by the public transit agency (60%) and have police powers (58%). � Almost all operators allow inspectors to issue warnings when warranted (96.5%), and the average number of citations issued were 3.5 more than the numbers of warnings. Thirty-nine percent of the operators issue more warnings than citations. The majority of agencies indicated that they were satisfied with the accuracy of their measured fare evasion rate--86.2% were either satisfied or better. � Almost two-thirds (62.1%) of the operators do not set fare evasion goals, and 72.4% do not set inspection goals. The predominant actions taken by operators to curb fare eva- sion spikes are special "sweep" tactics during which 100% of the riders are inspected during a specific period of time and at a specific location. � Across all modes, the range of fare evasion rates observed was from 0.1% to 9.0%, with an average of 2.7% and a median of 2.2%. For inspection, the rates ranged from 0.4% to 30.0%, with an average of 11.3% and a median of 9.2%. There can be substantial fluctuation in the fare evasion rates for an operator. Examination of variance in fare evasion rates over a 12- to 14-month period for five operators found that the highest monthly rate was as much as 5 times as large as the lowest.
OCR for page 11
3 � The fine for a first fare evasion offense averaged $121; for repeat offenses, the maxi- mum averaged $314. For repeat offenders, there are also nonfinancial penalties, the three main ones being that the penalty escalates to a misdemeanor, a summons is issued to appear in court, or the individual is excluded from using the system for a period of time. Most operators (58.6%) treat the first fare evasion as a civil offense as opposed to a criminal offense. � To facilitate enforcement of fare payment, 70% of the operators designate the station platform areas as "paid zones." � Almost all of the operators' TVMs issue single-ride tickets (96.6%), and the majority issue day passes (69%) and monthly passes (55.2%) as well. � Smart cards are used by 13 of the 30 operators in either contactless (11 operators) or magnetic-stripe (2 operators) versions. Of those with smart cards, 10 operators have cards that are reloadable (i.e., can be reloaded with additional value). For smart card fare payment verification purposes, 11 operators rely on handheld verification devices. � A small majority (56.3%) of the respondents expressed being moderately or very satisfied with the cost-effectiveness of their PoP fare collection operation. The third study task involved a detailed review of the PoP fare collection experiences of seven case study operators: Buffalo, New York--Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority Dallas, Texas--Dallas Area Rapid Transit Los Angeles, California--Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority Minneapolis�St. Paul, Minnesota--Metro Transit New York City, New York--New York City Transit Phoenix, Arizona--Valley Metro Rail, Inc. San Francisco, California--San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency Interviews with each of the seven resulted in identifying a set of common experiences. These experiences form a group of practices for other operators to consider, whether they use PoP fare collection today or are considering its future use: � Using a customer-oriented enforcement to fare payment rather than a traditional policing approach, � Implementing an agency-administered adjudication process, � Instituting an administrative process for payment of the fare evasion penalty, � Creating a focused fare inspection team with nonsworn officers, � Adding smart cards to the menu of fare media available for fare payment, � Employing PoP fare collection on BRT services, � Using independent management audits as an aid in reviewing an agency's PoP experience, � Expanding the provision of public information via the Internet and the YouTube online video, � Deploying a "show of force" on a new service using PoP fare collection, � Using sweeps (also referred to as blitzes, surges, or enhanced fare enforcement) to demonstrate uniformed presence on the system in a serious way, and � Using temporary barriers and turnstiles for crowd control at special events.
OCR for page 11
The case study interviews along with survey responses and the literature review produced questions for which no answers were found in available research. As a result, six areas deserv- ing of additional research were identified: � The range of loading volumes that would result in PoP fare collection being a cost- effective alternative; � The relationship among the evasion rate, rates of inspection, and penalty amounts; � A manual or guidelines for statistical analysis of fare evasion; � A transit smart card forum for PoP operators; � The cost-effectiveness of alternative adjudication processes; � The costs--capital, operating, and maintenance--of alternative off-board PoP fare collection and enforcement approaches.

MURRIETA: Tour de Murrieta gets trickier
Six-corner race will challenge cyclists, entertain spectators
Internationally recognized cyclist Floyd Landis is scheduled to race this weekend, Payne said, as will noted cyclist Roy Sutherland.
Landis, a professional cyclist and Riverside County resident, won the 2006 Tour of California but was stripped of his 2006 Tour de France title win after a positive doping test. Last month, a French judge issued a warrant for his arrest in connection with a computer-hacking case involving the French lab that handled Landis' doping test.
Frasso said many downtown streets will be closed from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday, and drivers should be cautious of cyclists on the road. The library will be closed Saturday due to the event. The library is not typically open on Sunday.
Call staff writer Nelsy Rodriguez at 951-676-4315, ext. 2626.
Tour de Murrieta
-- When: Races begin at 7:30 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. Children's race begins at 11:50 a.m. Saturday.
-- Where: Staging is held at the corner of Juniper Street and Adams Avenue.
-- Cost: Registration prices range from $35 to $100.

Time Warner to Trial Pay-Per-Use Broadband
Time Warner is testing a plan that could end flat-rate monthly broadband subscriptions.
The second-largest Internet service provider in the US, Time Warner will soon launch a trial in the Beaumont, Texas market with four different prices for those downloading up to 5, 10, 20 or 40 gigabytes each month. They chose Beaumont randomly and say the area doesn't have a specific problem with heavy broadband use.
A spokesman said it was a possible way to tackle the problem of light users effectively subsidising those who use the Internet more often. "What we're trying to accomplish is to create a network that serves our customers equally; not one that is serving a very small number that are using a disproportionate amount at the cost of the vast majority of our users." (Source: kansascity.com)
One report says around five per cent of Time Warner's customers are responsible for half of the company's total traffic. (Source: enews20.com)
Though there have been reports of file-sharing programs causing bandwidth problems for some Internet providers, Time Warner insist that's not a problem for them. They say the trial is intended to resolve the issue now rather than wait until it gets out of hand. It's thought the growth of online video may speed up the problem.
Rival firm Comcast caused controversy last year when they cut off several customers for excessive use. Some of those affected had downloaded over 500 gigabytes a month, the equivalent of more than 60 DVD movies. Though Comcast didn't announce a specific limit, they said the crackdown was on customers downloading over 100 times more data than the average customer.
The Time Warner plan would mean heavy users pay extra fees rather than losing service altogether. The scheme could be seen as fairer pricing and, by discouraging bandwidth-hogging 'excessive' use, could speed up access for the average user.

Man, that's a lot of time for a little nookie. From reading a couple of articles on the case, the factoring decisions were the defendant's history of dealing blow and the fact that a child saw them going at it, which could possibly cause the child to act out what he or she saw. Plus it's strongly against our country's tradition of exposing our children to extreme violence instead of sex. From The Guardian:
A man convicted of having sex on a public beach in Florida in front of a child was sentenced on Monday to two and a half years in prison, a state prosecutor said.
Jose Caballero, 40, was arrested in Bradenton Beach in west-central Florida last July after other beachgoers complained that he was fondling and starting to have sexual intercourse with a woman on the beach in the middle of the afternoon.
A four-year-old child saw the activity, which was videotaped by a witness, a police report said. When her mother asked him to stop, Caballero responded confrontationally, which factored into the sentence requested, said assistant state attorney Anthony Dafonseca.
"His judgment was pretty poor," Dafonseca said. Caballero, who previously served about eight years in prison for cocaine trafficking, faced as much as 15 years in prison.

In the early 1900s, Pacific Palisades was home to a film studio named Inceville, where Thomas Ince filmed Westerns. About a decade later, the town was founded as a Methodist commune. Located between Santa Monica and Topanga Canyon, the landscape is dramatic and mountainous, overlooking the Pacific. This is one of the most privileged positions of Los Angeles, featuring multi-million dollar homes. In a small village off the Pacific Coast Highway, a few quaint restaurants are tucked away between the sea and the hills. There are trailheads off of Temescal Canyon Road that lead to challenging hikes in the Santa Monica Mountains.

Let's write a book together
Ayman Al-Abdullah
July 6, 2015
Scrivener is the tool authors like Tim Ferriss and Neil Strauss use to research, write, and edit their books.
***Important*** There are two different versions of Scrivener. Click here for Mac or Click here for Windows.
When a Pulitzer Prize-winning author hands out advice, you listen.
500 words a day.
That was Ernest Hemingway's secret to writing 20+ books during his award-winning career. 500 words a day and you can have a 200-page book in 3 months.
But if it's so easy (just 15 minutes/day), why are there so many people who want to write a book yet so few that actually have?
As you can imagine, researching, organizing, and focused writing isn't easy which is where most writers fail.
Luckily for you, we got you a writing studio on steroids that makes organizing, writing, and shipping your book easier than ever before - Scrivener.
Normally this amazing piece of software costs $45 (which I gladly paid for last year). Instead, the first 10,000 Sumo-lings can get it for only $20! (5,000 Mac, 5,000 PC available)
**Important** There are two different versions of Scrivener.
Mac user? Click here to buy Scrivener for Mac.
Windows user? Click here to buy Scrivener for Windows.
Scrivener is your complete writing workshop to organize all of your thoughts, break your book down by outline, and create a distraction-free zone for your writing.
Even more awesome is it has a word target that turns from red to green when you hit your writing goal for the day:
As if that wasn't enough Scrivener has a TON of advanced features like
- Corkboard: Storyboard and visually organize your writing project. Use this to shift chapters around, so they make the most logical sense.
- Outlining: Control the structure of your work. Use the fully-featured outliner to plan first and write later, or write first and use the outliner to make sense of that messy first draft.
- FULL SCREEN EDITING!: View your text in full-screen mode for distraction-free writing.
- Easy Export: Saving in .ePub (Kindle), .mobi, .doc and a ton of other formats is stupid simple with Scrivener. Before I used to pay someone to upload my book to Kindle. Now I can do it myself!
- Research: Scatter brained like me? Create order from chaos by jotting down quick notes in the relevant chapters so you can get back to focused writing and hitting your 500 words/day.
If you have aspirations to write a book or start a popular blog, Scrivener is THE BEST way to churn out good content with ease.
But don't take our words for it. Over 7,000+ sumo-lings have already bought Scrivener and LOVE it. Just check out what Fred had to say:
Normally this amazing piece of software would cost you $45 which is already a steal, but in this AppSumo exclusive, you can get it for only $20!

Within the adipose tissue is a special cell population known as the stromal vascular fraction (SVF), which consists of other undefined stem cells as well as immune, endothelial (blood vessel lining), progenitor (undifferentiated or premature precursor cells), and stromal (connective tissue) cells. Cells in the SVF share similar properties to those in the bone marrow. Both contain a population of cells that have the ability to differentiate into several cell types. In addition, both adipose tissue and bone marrow offer similar environments for optimal stem cell growth and reproduction, including a smaller amount of circulating oxygen and specialized vascular systems as compared with other organs.
The research team characterized the HSPCs in the SVF of mouse adipose tissue with both in vitro and in vivo analyses. They studied the origin of the HSPCs to better predict their behavior and determine whether the quantity of cells could be increased by promoting more frequent HSPC movement between the bone marrow and peripheral blood using granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, or G-CSF, a growth hormone used to encourage development of stem cells. The team found that the more they could mobilize the HSPCs between the bone marrow and the peripheral blood, the more HSPCs they would find in the SVF.
The study results provide compelling evidence that the SVF derived from adipose tissue contains functional HSPCs capable of generating hematopoietic (blood-forming) cells. Importantly, researchers found that the cells were able to differentiate into a variety of hematopoietic cells when tracked for at least 16 weeks post-transplantation, which reflects long-term and permanent reconstitution of donor hematopoietic

San Patricio County brush fire Wednesday casts smoke over Corpus Christi
CORPUS CHRISTI - A brush fire in San Patricio County on Wednesday sent plumes of dark smoke over the Northside of Corpus Christi.
Emergency responders were called about 3 p.m. to a ranch near Odem where an area of dry brush had ignited, San Patricio County officials said.
The blaze was in a remote section of the property away from roads, so fire officials monitored the fire from a distance as it slowly burned out.
No structures were damaged and no injuries were reported.
Smoke could be seen for miles along Interstate 37 late Wednesday afternoon as another small grass fire broke out near Labonte Park along the Nueces River, which fire crews quickly hosed down.The cause of the brush fire is under investigation.

Parenting the Picky Eater
Beware of Over-Snacking
Sometimes the problem isn't so much that the child doesn't like new foods, it may be that they are already full, says Ward. A common culprit is fluid. "Kids can consume a lot of their calories from milk and juice," she says.
The same goes for snacks that provide little more than calories like chips, sweets, and sodas. "If you are going to offer snacks, make sure they are supplementing meals, not sabotaging them," Ward says.
Establish "Bottom-Line Limits"
Having a set of bottom-line limits can help a parent provide some consistency, says Johnston Pawel. For example, some parents may have the rule "nutritious foods before snack food." Or that kids have to at least try a new food before rejecting it.
"Consistency only works if what you are doing in the first place is reasonable," she says. So try to avoid overly controlling or overly permissive rules. If bottom-line limits are healthy, effective, and balanced, they'll pay off, she says.
Examine Your Role Model
Make sure you aren't asking kids to "do as I say, not as I do," says Johnston Pawel. If your own diet is based mainly on fat, sugar, and salt, you can hardly expect your child to embrace a dinner salad over fries.
Defuse Mealtimes
Don't make your child's eating habits part of the mealtime discussion, says Ward. Otherwise every meal becomes a stressful event, centered on what the child does and does not eat. Ward suggests parents reserve talks about the importance of good eating for later, perhaps at bedtime or story time. Catharine says this approach has worked for her. "I work hard to make it a nonissue," she says. "Otherwise it would make me crazy."
Give It Time
"I find that children become much more open to trying new foods after the age of 5," says Ward. "Most of the time kids will simply grow out of limited eating," she says.
Catharine is looking forward to that day. "In the meantime, as long as Fenner is growing and reaching all her developmental goals, I'm OK with her eating the same foods over and over," she says.
Melissa says Brandon's somewhat eccentric demands are already improving. She's been working with him to learn that while he can have preferences, his every wish can't always be accommodated. A recent outing to a restaurant provided a small victory when Brandon was able to eat something even though it wasn't exactly as he wanted it.
"Hang in there," Melissa advises other parents. "Make sure they know you love them, stick to your guns, and it will all come out OK in the end."

Full text not available from this repository.
The subject of this study is a steady two-dimensional incompressible flow past a rapidly rotating cylinder with suction. The rotation velocity is assumed to be large enough compared with the cross-flow velocity at infinity to ensure that there is no separation. High-Reynolds-number asymptotic analysis of incompressible Navier-Stokes equations is performed. Prandtl's classical approach of subdividing the flow field into two regions, the outer inviscid region and the boundary layer, was used earlier by Glauert (1957) for analysis of a similar flow without suction. Glauert found that the periodicity of the boundary layer allows the velocity circulation around the cylinder to be found uniquely. In the present study it is shown that the periodicity condition does not give a unique solution for suction velocity much greater than 1/Re. It is found that these non-unique solutions correspond to different exponentially small upstream vorticity levels, which cannot be distinguished from zero when considering terms of only a few powers in a large Reynolds number asymptotic expansion. Unique solutions are constructed for suction of order unity, 1/Re, and 1/sqrt{Re}. In the last case an explicit analysis of the distribution of exponentially small vorticity outside the boundary layer was carried out.

Background: The Quality of Reporting of Meta-analyses (QUOROM) conference was convened to address standards for improving the quality of reporting of meta-analyses of clinical randomised controlled trials (RCTs). Methods: The QUOROM group consisted of 30 clinical epidemiologists, clinicians, statisticians, editors, and researchers. In conference, the group was asked to identify items they thought should be included in a checklist of standards. Whenever possible, checklist items were guided by research evidence suggesting that failure to adhere to the item proposed could lead to biased results. A modified Delphi technique was used in assessing candidate items. Findings: The conference resulted in the QUOROM statement, a checklist, and a flow diagram. The checklist describes our preferred way to present the abstract, introduction, methods, results, and discussion sections of a report of a meta-analysis. It is organised into 21 headings and subheadings regarding searches, selection, validity assessment, data abstraction, study characteristics, and quantitative data synthesis, and in the results with «trial flow», study characteristics, and quantitative data synthesis; research documentation was identified for eight of the 18 items. The flow diagram provides information about both the numbers of RCTs identified, included, and excluded and the reasons for exclusion of trials. Interpretation: We hope this report will generate further thought about ways to improve the quality of reports of meta-analyses of RCTs and that interested readers, reviewers, researchers, and editors will use the QUOROM statement and generate ideas for its improvement.

Originally written on 60ft6in | Last updated 7/27/12
Matt Harvey made his MLB debut last night for the New York Mets, earning a victory in Arizona. Harvey struck out 11 DBacks in just 5 1/3 innings without allowing a run. The kid proved he was ready for The Show after months of anticipation from the Mets fan base. What took so long, Sandy? Harvey is clearly a power pitcher. He throws a heavy, low to mid-90s fastball out of his strong frame. Matt appears willing and able to pitch inside, as well as up in the zone. Harvey also has two excellent breaking balls. He fires a sharp slide-piece to his glove side that gets swings-and-misses. He'll also twirl a hard, plus curveball. Harvey can throw the curve for a strike, and the action of the pitch can get K's even when it's in the heart of the plate. His last pitch in the arsenal is the changeup, which he has trouble locating at this point. Harvey has a simple delivery and mostly simple mechanics, but he does create a somewhat awkward snapping action with his throwing arm. Harvey...

The NBA and adidas are selling "We Are One" T-shirts with either the Los Angeles Clippers or league logo on them.
The phrase was first posted on the Clippers' website last Tuesday, the day NBA commissioner Adam Silver announced that he was fining owner Donald Sterling the league-maximum $2.5 million and banning him for life for racist comments he made.

1 long day trip from Paris
I will be in Paris for 8 nights over Christmas. I was thinking maybe 1 big day trip could be possible. Brussels and London both seem to be feasible options. I have never been to either city. I know London has sooooo much to do, I am afraid I may be overwhelmed for 10 or so hours. Brussels, on the other hand, seems to get negative reviews from many here. Or should I just plan on 8 days in Paris? I already have an apartment booked in Paris, so overnight stays in other cities are not an option. I am worried it may be many years before I am back in Europe, so I would like to see what I can without feeling rushed. Anyone have any experience with either of these trips when the daylight hours are going to be short?

Six Pack: Top Picks for Hot Dogs in Philadelphia
With last month's surprising news that Hot Diggity closed on South Street and the most recent bummer about Moe's Hot Dog House at Grays Ferry and Washington Avenue closing, we got to thinking about where else you can get a good hot dog in Philadelphia. Yes, you can get a hot dog at just about every street vendor, but we were thinking about hot dogs a step above.
Here is our list of some of the top hot dogs in Philadelphia.
Paesano's on Girard Avenue is moving on from its original location. The sandwich shop is moving next door to the just completed construction at the corner of Girard and O'Neil Streets.
According to Naked Philly, the new location will give Paesano's 26-seats and an expanded menu. That will be welcome news to Northern Liberties and Fishtown fans of Peter McAndrews' sandwich spot, as the extra room will probably mean more specials, like the Italian Market location.
The 9th Street location has recently offered the Machizmo (prosciutto, fig and orange marmalade, sharp provolone on a seeded roll), house-made scrapple sandwich (pork scrapple, sweet roasted tomatoes, caramelized onions and peppers, sharp Provolone and a fried egg), pig skins (potato skins with roasted garlic and sharp Provolone) and their seldom seen Gizmo (ribeye cheesesteak with diced salami, cheddar spread, sharp provolone, broccoli rabe and roasted tomatoes).

Serious Eats wasn't very impressed with the state of Philadelphia's cheesesteak scene but is a big fan of our roast pork sandwiches. Features Editor Niki Achitoff-Gray tried 14 of them recently and came up with her best six.
It's a pretty good list, we just wish it were easier to find ANY roast pork sandwich after nightfall.

- Music
- 1317 San Pablo Avenue, Berkeley, CA
Pellejo Seco
Saturday, July 13, 2013 at 9:30 PM (PDT)
Includes Cuban Salsa dance lesson at 8:30 pm.
Featuring the acclaimed singer Sulkary Valverde, Berkeley-based Cuban band Pellejo Seco fills its shows with music that brings audiences closer to the cultures that the music springs from. The group's name can be translated as "rawhide," which for Cuban émigré and band founder Ivan Camblor describes the dry and leathered skin of a campesino or farmer. While Pellejo Seco's roots are in traditional Cuban music, reflecting the mostly acoustic son tradition popularized by Buena Vista Social Club, the band updates the sound in original compositions by Camblor that mix rock, Latin pop, Brazilian, flamenco, Afro-Cuban, and jazz. Camblor plays the tres, the six-string Cuban guitar that is used in traditional Cuban son and other music. He is joined by lead vocalist Valverde, backing singer Yanill Nario, trumpeter Mario Silva, bassist Antonio Cortada, and Carlos Medrano and Gerardo Borras on percussion; all but Silva are natives of Cuba.

(VAN NUYS, CA) -- Digital Playground's Island Fever still holds the number one spot for VHS rentals according to AVN magazine, September 2001. Island Fever was released on VHS in May of 2001 and four months later it still holds the number one spot. In an industry flooded with over 800 new releases each month, Island Fever redefines classic.
Keeping Island Fever in stock has been a challenge for distributors, stores and E-tailers. According to CJ, store manager at Hustler Hollywood, "Island Fever is a constant seller. Both the DVD and VHS versions fly off the shelves and it's always on my re-order list." Survey cards show that customers have given Island Fever rave reviews, calling it 'the best porno ever' and 'a Tera masterpiece'.
With bonus footage, a behind the scenes look and an audio commentary by Tera Patrick, the DVD version of Island Fever has generated exceptional reviews as well. It has held the number one sales spot for months on Internet sites around the world. Adult DVD Empire, the world's largest on-line source for DVD's, gave Island Fever a perfect 5 stars calling it, "one of the hottest releases of the year...some of the best adult film I have ever watched. This is a title to put on your must-own list."
Since it's release, Island Fever has received critical acclaim from trade and consumer publications. AVN gave it Spotlight Pick and prenoms for videography, editing and music; while Adam Film World said, "director Joone has a jewelers eye for erotica
One of the great masturbatory fantasies of the new millennium."
Pick up your copy of Island Fever now at a retail outlet near you or on-line.
Tera Patrick is under exclusive contract with Digital Playground, the undisputed leader in interactive adult DVD. For more information about Digital Playground, their stars and their products, please visit http://www.digitalplayground.com.

KENYA looses about Sh450 million annually on poor tea sales in the international markets, a Mombasa businessman has said.
DL Koisagat Tea Company proprietor David Langat said farmers lack motivation because of low prices.
He was speaking on Tuesday night at a meeting in Mombasa with tea farmers from Rift Valley. Langat said Kenya has a big potential in tea production.
However, he said, the government and private investors should look for new markets for Kenya's tea.
He said Sri Lanka sells more tea to Russia and US, despite the fact that Kenya has better quality tea.

Checked in for the night and stayed in the suite with a jacuzzi tub. It was worth the price. Room was clean and spacious. The bed (king) was comfortable and over all was a good stay. Would stay there again. The location is close enough to Lubbock that all the food and entertainment is just a short 10-15 min drive. Lubbock is rapidly expanding that way so food and fun will be closer soon i bet.
