Tourism in Spain is going to get a whopping €1 billion of extra funding in 2009 to help rebuild the Spanish tourism industry after recent slumps in 2008 and the beginning of 2009.
The basic gist of the story is that 11% of Spain's GDP is derived from tourism, and a substantial number of people ore employed in the industry so any slow down has an immediate effect. Spain is the world's most popular travel destination but recently other EU nations such as Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia, Cyprus, and non-EU nations such as Turkey, Tunisia, an Morocco have benefited.
€400 million will be spent on upgrading hotels and restaurants with the rest going into infrastructure and retraining of workers in the collapsed building industry to take on jobs in the tourism industry which despite the downturn is still considered the most sustainable industry in the country.
Here in Ronda we've noticed a huge drop in the number of tourists, mostly from the UK and America, typically because their currency just isn't keeping up against the Euro, but fortunately tourism from Northern Europe, particularly France, the Netherlands, and Sweden has increased in recent months so not all is lost.
Tourists from Russia, Germany and other parts of North-Eastern Europe don't seem to be making their way to Ronda in big numbers, the Costa del Sol and Costa Almeria seem to be getting those visitors so here in Ronda the extra funding to renovate some of our older hotels is going to be very welcome news.
On an unrelated note, it seems the white elephant motorway project between Ronda and Malaga may now not go ahead, but this is good news in some way since it means less damage to the environment, and the possibility of improvements to the existing road which ultimately will keep several small villages alive.
It bodes well for the AVE getting to Ronda as well, no direct motorway could mean demand for the high speed rail, now we just need the politicians to agree on a location for the station since the existing railway station is in the middle of some very windy track unsuitable for a high speed train.

Primus will return with their first album in 12 years on September 13th via ATO Records and Prawn Songs. Titled Green Naugahyde, the record was produced and engineered by Les Claypool in his personal studio, Rancho Relaxo, in Northern California, and features Claypool, long-time guitarist Larry LaLonde, and drummer Jay Lane. Lane was in an early lineup of the band, and was also in Sausage, a 1994 reunion of the 1988 Primus lineup. He rejoined Primus last year after departing Furthur.
According to an issued press release, Green Naugahyde expands on Primus' "incomparable sound and also sees them bringing it into the next millennium. It is a cerebral and complex album that, like all of the band's output, is teeming with the band's signature blend of whimsy and underlying darkness."
Says Claypool, "If I were to look at all of our records, it seems like this is reminiscent of the early stuff. Obviously, with Jay there's a newness to it, but because he left the band right before we recorded our first record, his approach has an eerie harkening to the old Frizzle Fry days."
Ahead of the release, Primus will spend much of the summer on the road, with appearances at the Bonnaroo and Kanrocksas music festivals included. The band also plans to launch an extensive fall tour in support of the album, but dates are still forthcoming.

Take off 10 dollar dinners
I agree I used to watch for hours not so much now, especially when 10 dollar dishes is on. That woman has to be the worst thing on tv ever. How she ever won the competition is beyond me. Hope they take her off soon

I like to think that I am funny and laid-back. But by no means am I the funniest nor the most laid-back and I am ok with that.
I am trusting and believe in random acts of kindness. I am definitively progressive and that controls my aspirations. I'm open-minded (and hope you are too). I don't think I'm nerdy but I've been called nerdy and I don't like to argue. I am surrounded by competitive people but think competition is dumb.
I grew up in New York and moved here from Philadelphia about a year and half ago. I have traveled extensively and can't wait to get back on the road. A road trip to Kentucky is imminent and a trip to Thailand is in the mix.
People tell me I am really patient. I don't mind if things take longer than they should. The way I figure it, what is the rush? Which is a good segue into the fact that it makes me uncomfortable when people give wait staff a hard time. [That job is tough; be nice.]
I save newspaper articles that I like. Thankfully e-mail and the internet helps me ensure that this quirk doesn't turn me into a hoarder. I am not sure what I am going to do with the articles. Suggestions are welcome.
I started learning how to play the banjo recently. It feels weird taking up music as an adult but I am having a lot of fun. I wish grad school had not robbed me of my hobbies for so long.
I like to laugh and surprises. I like good food but don't define good as fancy. I hate to cook for myself but love to cook for others.
I am relaxed, gregarious, and thoughtful.

I also upgraded the video card on somebody else's Acer laptop once.
Two examples.
I repair OEM units 5 days a week. Every week. Just being blunt- you're very wrong. The vast majority of "video cards" are integrated to the motherboard-
upgradeable. Most OEM do not provide BIOS updates thus you are very limited regarding CPU upgrades and there's next to no documentation from the OEM as to what CPUs your laptop's particular mobo supports.
The only guaranteed parts to be upgradeable are RAM and HDD. Very rarely will you find any other parts that are upgradeable.
As to standard form factors- bull. Sure, there may be some coincidences but out side of those a mobo from a DELL laptop will not fit into an HP, or an ACER, etc. Maybe from an HP to Compaq or vice-versa, or from a Gateway to a e-Machine, etc but even then the odds are slim.
And I've been doing this for 16 years.

One of the greatest writers in Hollywood, in our opinion, Aaron Sorkin is being teased with another chance to write about a tech-industry Goliath. We all remember the Academy Award winning film on the beginning and rise of Facebook, The Social Network, which was both a box office hit and critically acclaimed movie.
The Social Network raked a whopping $96,962,694 domestically and $127,957,621 internationally which is quite a substantial amount, especially when considering that it was expected to earn far less.
Aaron Sorkin Considering Writing Screenplay For Steve Jobs Film
The film was produced and distributed by Sony and Columbia pictures and Aaron Sorkin has stated that they've approached him with an offer that he write a script about Steve Jobs' rise, fall and rise again to the top with Apple.
The 50 year old screenwriter has expressed some interest in adapting Walter Isaacson's top-selling authorized biography of Steve Jobs into a film and Sony Pictures is reported as wanting no one else for the job but Sorkin.
Sorkin was at an event in Santa Monica when approached about the film and said that he's strong considering the Sony proposal but that he's currently in the "thinking-about-it stages". He went on to say that the film is going to be massive, regardless of who writes it, and that the whole affair will be undoubtedly exciting.
Steve Jobs Had An Adventurous Life Fit For The Big Screen
Steve Jobs passed away in October at the age of 56 and his intimate biography by Isaacson was so critically acclaimed before its general released that Sony is reported to have approached Isaacson about the possibility of its cinematic adaption.
We truly hope Sorkin takes the screenwriting spot as almost everyone agrees that he's the perfect man for the job. He's currently in the process researching Steve Jobs and is reading Isaacson's book, so hopefully this will inspire him to create something truly incredible as we're sure he could.
Steve Jobs' biography has a bunch of potential to be adapted into a film mostly because of all the fantastic things he's done throughout his life. He had a phase where he habitually used LSD, walked around barefoot for a while and also spent 7 months in India as a spiritual journey (we're not even making this up).
So we genuinely hope Sorkin takes the spot and prevents George Clooney, who's said to be a contender for the spot, from getting the role and destroying this movie. Harsh words, yes, but true nonetheless.

The U's ended a run of six games without a win with a narrow victory over the Sky Blues, to move four points above the relegation zone.
Colchester took a fourth-minute lead when former Coventry loanee Freddie Sears latched on to a pass and confidently slotted past goalkeeper Joe Murphy.
The U's went further ahead midway through the first half when Gavin Massey finished low past Murphy from David Wright's long pass before Callum Wilson pulled one back for the visitors on the stroke of half-time.
Pressley said: "It's about concentration, without doubt when you defend and when you attack.
"As a group, we have to do better than that and you can't come away from home and find yourself 2-0 down after 20 minutes and expect to get something.
"Over the course of the other 70 minutes, when you take into consideration the pitch, which was appalling, I thought we played a lot of good football.
"In the end, I thought that we should have got something but we're making life far too difficult for ourselves and we have to be far more aggressive in our defending and be better with our concentration.
"But we looked a real threat on the counter-attack and at times, we looked like the team we were at the start of the season.
"There were a lot of good things to take but the first 20 minutes, we can't accept."

I bet that many people who take photos and video on their camcorder just leave the content sitting on the internal HDD or memory card until they run out of space and are forced to move the content. The reason is that it seems like it takes forever when you have to move hundreds of photos and hours of video to your PC.
Panasonic has been talking up its coming 3D camcorder that claims to be the first consumer focused 3D camcorder on the market. That Panasonic unit is set to ship in October, but Hammacher Schlemmer has beat Panasonic to the 3D camcorder punch.
Time files we you are having fun, it's time again for another Week in Review. Some details of the coming Samsung Galaxy Tab surfaced in a new firmware update this week in Europe. The details point to the Android tablet having a 480 x 800 resolution screen, two cameras, and an ARM11 CPU.
Judging by the frequent of Pretec breakthrough flash-based storage cards, breaking records must be part of Pretec quarterly exercise. The company is set to unveil not only the World's First SDXC, but also an unprecedented 100GB CompactFlash at 666x. The latter up the ante, broke company's own CF's record at 433X.
Even with new standard still in lobbying effort, Pretec has the go-ahead with the SXDC small form factor flash-based memory standard that's capable of reaching 2TB. Pretec will exhibit both the 32GB SXDC and 666x, that's capable of 100MB/s transfer rate, at PMA and CeDIA tomorrow. We'll visit each both tomorrow to dig deeper on the cost.
We kicked off the week with our review of the Sony VAIO P, the company's "don't call it a netbook" companion ultraportable. It's interesting to contrast it with Acer's just-confirmed 10-inch Aspire One, which will likely offer greater performance at less than half the price. Elsewhere, Sanyo took the wraps off of their 2009 Xacti camcorder range, including a very tempting 1080p 60fps model, and HTC announced the Touch Cruise smartphone with an integrated GPS-tagged memory app. In other smartphone news, everyone got surprisingly agitated about President Obama's super-secret messaging phone.
Week in Review time, and it seems like there's plenty to look back on over the past seven days. Continuing our fresh tradition, in the fast-moving netbook segment we've seen confirmation of ASUS' Eee PC plans - 23 models in all, the next of which being the 701SD, together with dual-core and bigger SSD versions - as well as Sylvania's new G Netbook MESO, the target $299 tag of which got plenty of people hot under the collar. Price is a sore subject over at MSI, who saw their Wind netbook rise in cost uncontrollably, while E-Lead are likely celebrating their Noahpad - with its distinctive dual-touchpad keyboard - finally reaching customers.
There's plenty to look forward to, as well, with Intel confirming a refresh of their Classmate PC, a video showing Fujitsu's upcoming Amilo Mini playing with interchangeable casings, and Lenovo tipped for a new netbook to be released in September. If you can afford a bit more, and can't wait until September, Lenovo's ThinkPad X200 is a proper, grown-up ultraportable set to launch imminently; going by the first hands-on reports it looks to be a winner, with battery life getting particular credit.
With Computex 2008 came more budget ultraportable news than many of us could stomach this week, as several manufacturers took the opportunity to confirm their machines (most of them previewed to death beforehand) and legions of others attempted to get their foot in the OEM door. ASUS finally took the wraps off the Eee PC 901, 1000 and 1000(H), while MSI's Wind was made official; Acer confirmed their Aspire One notebook, which was made special by virtue of the fact that we only found out it was coming last week. Meanwhile Dell held back on their Inspiron Mini, citing delays in tweaking the keyboard, and ASUS launched their low-cost offensive on the desktop with the Eee Box B202.

Yesterday the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced new warnings for statins, the enormously prevalent drugs used to treat high cholesterol and heart disease. The warnings will appear in the disclosures for Lipitor (made by Pfizer), Crestor (made by AstraZeneca) and Zocor (made by Merck). Last year, more than 20 million Americans were taking a statin, according to statistics compiled by IMS Health.
Statins lower cholesterol and have been shown to significantly reduce the risk of heart attack and heart disease. But it's becoming clear they aren't without risk, some of them potentially serious.
What do the new warnings say?
That statins are now known to raise the risk of diabetes. And less commonly, they can cause memory loss and confusion. According to the FDA, the label changes were based on a review of medical literature, clinical trial data, and reports of adverse events.
The elevated diabetes risk first cropped up in a 2008 Crestor study of nearly 18,000 patients, but a 2010 study published in the British medical journal the Lancet was even more convincing, finding that statins can raise the risk of diabetes by 9 percent, which translates as one new case in 100, according to my panel of medical statistics advisors.
The memory loss side effect came to the FDA's attention primarily via anecdotal reports from the FDA database's adverse event reporting system rather than from formal studies. The FDA said there was no proof that the problem was caused by statins but that the agency wanted people to be aware of the possibility.
Going by the numbers
As a group, statins have enriched pretty much all of the biggest pharmaceutical companies. However, most of the brand name statins are now available as generica. Lipitor, which became available late last year as generic atorvastatin, is the world's all-time biggest selling prescription medicine with cumulative sales topping $130 billion.
Other brand name statins include lovastatin (brand names Mevacor, Altoprev), pravastatin (brand name Pravachol), Livalo, and Lescol. There are also combination medicines that include statins, such as Vytorin (made by Merck) and Simcor (Abbott Laboratories).
The side effect no one's talking about
The current FDA warnings are for diabetes and memory loss, but there's another side effect of statins that's getting a great deal of attention among doctors, but doesn't seem to be bothering the FDA yet, and that's muscle damage. Patients have long complained that statins make their knees and shoulders hurt, and physical therapists will openly admit that statins send many people into rehab.
According to the highly respected Statin Effects Study, an ongoing data collection project at the University of California, San Diego, the "well known" adverse effects of statins include myopathy, or muscle damage, that's potentially "very serious." While the incidence of muscle damage was originally considered to be around 3 percent, many experts are now saying 10 to 15 percent of those taking statins experience muscle pain and damage.
If you're experiencing tenderness, pain or weakness in muscles or joints while on a statin, it's important to report this to your doctor right away, and in an assertive way that gets taken seriously. (Studies also show doctors tend to under-report and under-react to this side effect, mistakenly believing it's not serious or will resolve itself.) A small percent of those with muscle damage go on to develop a rare but potentially fatal condition called rhabdomyolysis.

All of the High Schools beautiful girls are nymphomaniacs who want to be gangbanged in to a all holes and they like to be covered with sperm, buckets of sperm.
Episodes are short and they start with introducing the girl and next she's been gangbanged by roomful of boys.
Girls in After School Sex Slave Club don't have anykind of personality, they've just sex slaves who just happen to have few useful holes – though they are happy to be sex slaves: "Being a slave is so wonderful" but it makes them just a lifeless sex toys and they only want to be "sperm toilet".
Girls are sex slaves, but theres no S/M in After School Sex Slave Club. It has only humiliation, bukkake, gangbang and some BDSM.
Although it is nice to see so much so graphic sex in a comic I still like more hentai which has some kind of plot and characters that are at least somewhat interesting. Only one scene is mildly interesting; at the end one girl's virginity is taken by a pig, and I mean the farm animal. Why did artist thought that he should add such an lewd act to point out the devotion of these sex slave girls?
(There is a kind of "surprise"in the end of manga, but actually it would have been better without it )
So, theres no plot, no interesting characters, just as much raunchy sex as possible.
Artwork is quite good, sex scenes are nicely drawn and girls are nice to look at. Even close up's of their cunts are viewable, which rarely is the case even in good hentai. Impressions on girls faces are nice too.
But overall; this manga is just jerking material, it has no other value.
But I suppose that's value enough, after all, it is only porn, but I like it. I like it. I like it. Yes I do. If I could stick a knife in my heart. Suicide right on stage… Oh, sorry 'bout that it was only flashback from the Stones concert.
Plot: 0/5
Masturbatic value: 4/5
Overall: 2/5

2012 just might be the best year to celebrate Christmas at Disneyland Paris. That's because the year 2012 marks the 20th anniversary of this world-famous amusement park, and the folks at Disneyland Paris have been celebrating the occasion all year.
In April 2012, they introduced a magical parade called "The Train." Disneyland Paris has always featured a parade, but this updated version features all-new music and floats to make things even livelier. Kids can see Mickey, Minnie and other beloved characters dressed up and dancing like they've never seen them before.
Plus, another parade — the one-of-a-kind Christmas parade — offers up a special show just for the holidays, with Santa greeting visitors in his sleigh. Joining Santa are a variety of dancing toys as well as Mickey and Minnie, who delight spectators with Christmas music and Christmas floats.
In addition to the parades, guests visiting Disneyland Paris around the holidays can enjoy the Disney Dreams spectacle. This show combines dazzling lights, colors and special effects in order to amuse and amaze spectators, who watch the images as they are projected onto the Castle of Sleeping Beauty.
This show happens every night at Disneyland Paris, and will continue to do so until January 6, 2013, so guests staying at the Hôtel de la Tour Maubourg have plenty of time to take a trip to the amusement park. The park is located in a nearby suburb called Marne la Vallée, which can be reached with the suburban subway train called the RER A.
While the Christmas parade will also be performed until January 6, 2013, the Train parade will only be performed until December 31, 2012, so visitors should plan accordingly.

Last month, ADVANCE was given the opportunity to see the future of cancer therapy--up close and personal with one giant cyclotron. Proton therapy, soon to be offered at Penn Medicine's Abramson Cancer Center in Philadelphia, provides radiation dose that offers more precise delivery than conventional radiation therapy in treating tumors.
We toured the Roberts Proton Therapy Center, the first such facility in the mid-Atlantic region--joining only six centers in the nation (with three more under construction). Expected to open this winter, the excitement was palpable: this center will soon become world's most comprehensive proton therapy center... Read More

Bought these fins specifically to complete the PADI Divemaster Watermanship 800 yard snorkel fin. I completed it in an amazing 12 minutes flat! These fins rock.
Left my other fins and booties at home when I dived Grand Cayman. In 12 dives, never chafed or caused discomfort. Also significantly improved my air consumption. These fins knocks the sox off of my $175 Mares Quattro Excels and Mares Avanti Quattros! Will consider the the Oceanic V8 open heal fins (similar to these) for colder water dives.
I now exercise with these fins daily in the pool.

Comments about Oceanic Vortex V-6 Full Foot Split Fins:
I bought these in Hawaii on a whim, looking around Captain Jack's Dive Locker ( a great store) in Kailua while my wife looked for a snorkeling vest. Never looked back; great fins, light, easy to maneuver, easy on/off, comfortable. I've never used them diving, so can't say, but for snorkeling and a little easy free-diving they're great.
They're also good travel fins, MUCH lighter than the other full-foot split fins I've seen. They're a little long, can't get them in my suitcase so I bought a fin bag to carry on the plane.
BTW, I bought the open heel version of these and they were WAY too heavy. Kona entries are rocky, so I'm waiting for a lightweight pair of open heel split fins to come along, but for now, I just tough it out on the rocks. These fins are worth it!

Comments about Oceanic Vortex V-6 Full Foot Split Fins:
I'm a womens size 9 and the 7/8 size fits perfect on me. I've used my first set over 50 times (snorkel/skindive/scuba) and highly recommend these fins. They're very comfortable, durable, and make my speed impressive. They stir up little sediment and greatly reduce leg cramps compared to other styles I've used. I love these fins so much I'm planning to order a second pair in another color :) A+

Comments about Oceanic Vortex V-6 Full Foot Split Fins:
I purchased these fins for each of my daughters who have been certified for about two years. They both liked the ease of getting into them and the fit. They didn't feel any fatigue in their legs and thought they propelled them through the water as needed. They were great for scuba diving and snorkeling.

A nice fin. I bought these for traveling and they work great. The boot sits low so I don't have it rubbing against my ankle like some other fins. Overall very happy with them.

The Tennessee Highway Patrol is issuing a reminder to motorists over the St. Patrick's Day holiday to wear their seat belts and to drive sober.
In a news release, the THP warned it will be using an increase of traffic safety enforcement tools, including saturation patrols, sobriety and seat belt checkpoints.
The goal is to cut down on serious accidents during the 48-hour holiday period, which starts at midnight Sunday and ends at 11:59 p.m. Monday. During last year's 72-hour holiday period, there were 13 people in the state who died in vehicular crashes, four of whom died in an alcohol-related crash. There were 72 impaired driving arrests during that period.
The THP released tips for having a safe holiday:
- Plan ahead: If you plan to drink, arrange a safe way home before the festivities begin.
- Before drinking, designate a sober driver and give that person your keys.
- If you're impaired, call a taxi, use public transportation or call a sober friend or family member to get you home safely.
- Use the local Sober Ride program.
- If you see a drunken driver on the road, promptly contact your local law enforcement agency or dial *THP.
- Remember, friends don't let friends drive drunk. If you or someone who is about to ride with someone who is impaired, take their keys and help them make other arrangements to get to their destination safely.
- And remember, the tragedies and costs of driving drunk are serious and real. Not only do you risk killing yourself or someone else, but the trauma and financial costs of a crash or an arrest for drunken driving are significant.comments powered by Disqus

Working Out with Phil Halberdier
Job requires fitness, and so does life
Working out not only keeps Corpus Christi native Phil Halberdier, 24, in shape but also helps him to pay the bills. Although Halberdier, who works as the athletics and aquatics area supervisor in the city's Parks and Recreation Department, recently had a traumatic sports-related accident, but he hasn't let it stop him from staying fit.
Working out regularly: Since high school. Recently, I cracked my sternum when a plate-loaded leg press machine fell apart on me with weights attached. Nowadays, I take it a little easier and sometimes skip a few days.
Fitness routine: Since I graduated from college, I like to swim at least a mile in the mornings and then run at night, and if I have time, I will do the weightlifting program that I have been doing for a long time. But I am recovering from an injury, so now I do not hit the weights as often.
Fitness role model: Lance Armstrong and professional surfer Kelly Slater.
I exercise because: I want to live a long life.
My workout buddy is: My Ipod when I am in the gym.
Favorite healthy foods: Carrots and apples.
Favorite indulgence: Chinese food.
Must-have piece of gear: Good swimming goggles. I like to have two pairs that are tinted differently - dark for outside and light for indoor pools or overcast days and really good shoes when I'm not in a pool, of course.
Best health or fitness achievement: Climbing a mountain in New Mexico.
Current health or fitness goal: To regain some of the muscle I had before I was injured.
Biggest pet peeve at the gym: People in the gym who talk more than they work out. I like to get my workout done and get out of the gym as quickly as possible.
Biggest challenge when it comes to eating right or working out: Fitting it into a schedule that still allows me to sleep and work.
Music I listen to while working out: When I lift weights, I like Pantera, The Used, Metallica, Trapt and anything that helps get my blood pumping and drowns out the sounds of treadmills and the people who talk too much.
Most embarrassing workout moment: Diving into the deep end of the Natatorium to begin a deep-water exercise routine and passing out from the sudden change of pressure restricting the flow of blood to my brain. I woke up and was floating face up at the surface trying to yell out to a friend and not being able to say anything. I realized I had attracted a crowd and then I was perfectly fine.
Best benefit of working out or eating right: Feeling better throughout the day.

I use Tide free and gentle for my daughter and regular tide for DH and I
I've found a laundry soap that has no chemicals, toxins or bleach in it. I'll never go back to a store bought laundry soap again as they can contain these things.
We basically just go with whatever doesn't break them out because my husband and baby are sensitive to certain detergents. I never tried the Tide Free and Clear honestly because of the price. I love it though!! It makes our clothes so soft like I've used fabric softener.
I have tried a few and stuck with Tide or Arm and Hammer!
This is the brand I use. I don't like to use soaps with dyes and I don't like the perfumes.
how neat! I think I will getting Tide free and gentle for my new baby :)

Pro-Palestine Group Accuses Congressman Russ Carnahan of Refusing to Meet
Categories: Politics
|Russ Carnahan
Now they're accusing Carnahan of refusing to meet with them. They note that he took a trip to Israel last summer, sponsored by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which takes a hard line on Palestinian statehood. They want to know why they're less of a priority.
Carnahan's director of communications, Sam Drzymala, says that he believes that scheduling conversations with the pro-Palestinian group are ongoing. "We were in the process of working with them," he says. "No one has ever refused them a meeting."
But Sandra Tamari, a member of the group, says that the group is getting the blow off. Some members of the committee traveled to Palestine this summer, and she says they're simply eager to share their experiences.
"All we're asking is that he have as much knowledge as possible," she says. "He's been making very definitive statements in the press. What's he basing these statements on? We simply want him to be as well-informed as possible."
Both Tamari and Drzymala agree that members of the committee met with the district director of Carnahan's St. Louis office, Jim McHugh, on August 15.
But thereafter, Tamari says the group followed up with numerous emails and calls, asking to meet with the congressman himself, but never got anywhere. She says they emailed on August 16 and 18 and left phone messages on August 22 and 29 -- with the stated goal of arranging a visit before the end of the congressional recess and Carnahan's return to Washington, D.C.
When Carnahan departed for D.C. on September 6 without that meeting being scheduled, the committee asked its members to begin making calls. After a flurry of calls from its membership, McHugh finally took a call from the committee's coordinator, she says.
In this call, the pro-Palestinian group gave McHugh a September 16 deadline to get something on the congressman's schedule.
"We did not hear back to say, 'We're sorry' or get a request for more time," says Tamari. "There was no response."
Says Drzymala, "I think the office has been incredibly responsive to them, and we'll continue to be responsive."
Palestine recently announced its intentions to make a bid for full membership in the United Nations. The U.S. is almost certain to veto the Palestinian bid; some lawmakers have threatened to cut Palestine's aid if it continues to push for statehood via the U.N.

On Stranger Tides
|Tim Powers
|Cover artist
|James Gurney
|United States
|Historical fantasy
|Ace Books (Hardcover edition)
Publication date
|November 1987
|Media type
|Print (Hardback & Paperback)
On Stranger Tides is a 1987 historical fantasy novel written by Tim Powers. It was nominated for the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel,[1] and placed second in the annual Locus poll for best fantasy novel.[2]
The story was also the inspiration for the Monkey Island video game series by LucasArts and for the fourth installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.[3]
Plot summary[edit]
This book follows the exploits of John "Jack Shandy" Chandagnac, who travels to the new world after the death of his puppeteer father to confront his uncle, who apparently has made off with the family inheritance. During the voyage, he gets to know a woman named Beth Hurwood and her father Benjamin Hurwood, an Oxford professor. Before they arrive, their ship is waylaid by pirates and, with the help of the professor and his assistant, the captain is killed and Chandagnac is forced to join the pirate crew. The reader discovers a sinister plot being concocted by the professor involving his dead wife, his living daughter, the Fountain of Youth, and Blackbeard. Chandagnac, now known as "Jack Shandy," must put a stop to these plans and save Beth Hurwood.
Orson Scott Card, declaring that the novel "is as good as storytelling ever gets," reported that "Powers writes in a clean, elegant style that illuminates without slowing down the tale. The story promises marvels and horrors, and delivers them all."[4] David Langford wrote that On Stranger Tides "immediately hooks you and drags you along in sympathy with one central character's appalling misfortunes on the Spanish Main, [and] escalates from there to closing mega-thrills so determinedly spiced that your palate is left almost jaded."[5]
Jack Adrian, saying that "Tim Powers has further refertilized the Sabatini swashbuckler," described the novel as a skillful blend of "high seas adventure with sorcery and black magic."[6]
Influence on other works[edit]
Kim Newman based the name of a vampire in his Anno Dracula series on the main character of On Stranger Tides.[7]
Although Ron Gilbert has been widely quoted that the Monkey Island series of adventure games was inspired by Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean ride, he stated in a blog that the ride was mainly his inspiration for the ambience of the series, while his true inspiration was On Stranger Tides.[8][9]
Film adaptation[edit]
On September 11, 2009, Walt Disney Pictures announced that the fourth installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean series would be titled Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. The announcement had fueled speculation that the film would follow the plot of the novel, since Powers sold the film rights for the novel to Disney.[10] It was also speculated that Jack Sparrow would replace Jack Shandy as the story's protagonist. Powers stated that the Fountain of Youth would definitely be in the film, but Sparrow and Shandy are "totally different characters", and that Hector Barbossa and Blackbeard might overlap.[3]
In January 2010, Disney announced that the film would be released on May 20, 2011. On March 22, 2010, Jerry Bruckheimer confirmed that both Barbossa and Blackbeard would be in the film, with Blackbeard as the villain. Ian McShane portrayed Blackbeard and Penélope Cruz played his daughter, Angelica.[11]

Cowboy Mouth
Very few bands stand the test of time, most break up after a few years, usually because of the strenuous demands of the road.
It's a hard life to settle into. You're always moving; you're always tired; you're usually broke; and it begins to get more and more difficult to picture what your friends and family look like.
The road, for all intents and purposes, breaks most bands.
So the idea that Cowboy Mouth is in its 23rd year of bringing its original concoction of New Orleans-spiced rock 'n' roll to a global audience is difficult to comprehend.
What's even more astonishing is how well the band still does it. It's as if the road, the very antidote to most bands' venom, actually makes them stronger, more potent even.
Cowboy Mouth got its big break in 1996 following the release of its major label debut, "Are You With Me?" The album contained the group's only single that has been considered a major commercial success, "Jenny Says." The song first appeared on the band's 1992 album, "Word of Mouth," but never gained widespread attention until its re-release in 1996.
Since then, the band has toured behind a reputation as one of the most entertaining rock acts to see live.
Founding member, vocalist and drummer Fred LeBlanc has somehow managed to tap into a seemingly endless supply of stamina to give audiences performances that are as explosive as they are amusing night after night.
The group released its ninth studio album, "This Train ...," exclusively on its website in early 2012.
Cowboy Mouth will perform Saturday at The Windjammer, 1008 Ocean Blvd. on Isle of Palms, with Fifth on the Floor. Tickets are $20 and are available online at The-Windjammer.com or at the door. The fun begins at 8:30 p.m.
Call 886-8596 for more information.
It Looks Sad.
It may not be unheard of, a college-age indie pop-rock band with a hipster look and a familiar feel: prominent bass and drums, clean guitar reverb and dueling finger work echoing ethereally among one another, emotional but clear vocals, etc. But the Charlotte-based quartet It Looks Sad. will stand apart from the crowd in its execution.
The band is new to the scene, with a debut EP that has yet to be released, but the first glance of It Looks Sad. is a promising one and indicative of a young band getting off the starting block strong. With surprisingly mature songwriting and skill, they appear to be heading in the right direction with all the right skills to negotiate the turns.
It Looks Sad. will perform Sunday at the Royal American, 970 Morrison Drive, with Magic Camp and Scott Dence. Tickets are $5 at the door and the show is set to start at 8 p.m.
Go to TheRoyalAmerican.com or call 817-6925 for more information.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

NEWS ALERT! Pope Francis Follows Jesus on AbortionBy
If people's minds were blown when they found out that the Pope actually believes the Catechism, imagine how blown their minds are when they figure out that the Pope actually imitates Jesus Christ.
Minds are being blown even as we speak. A great new media fervor is starting about how Pope Francis is saying to back off from abortion and homosexual marriage and just talk about Jesus.
It's important to read his actual words and try to understand where the Spirit is leading us in the Church of Pope Francis. His new interview with America magazine is available here: "A Big Heart Open to God."
When Pope Francis said "who am I to judge?" with respect to homosexuals in his interview on the plane back from Brazil, headlines cried out that he was changing everything. "By saying this, I said what the catechism says," he explains in his new interview. Indeed he did.
In his new interview, he suggests that we love people with same-sex attraction and not define them merely by that one characteristic. And he suggests we find an effective way to address abortion in context, which he points out is a cause of suffering for the women involved.
Here is how he put it:
"We cannot insist only on issues related to abortion, gay marriage and the use of contraceptive methods. This is not possible. I have not spoken much about these things, and I was reprimanded for that. But when we speak about these issues, we have to talk about them in a context. The teaching of the church, for that matter, is clear and I am a son of the church, but it is not necessary to talk about these issues all the time."
To read that and say that the Pope wants to be accepting of abortion and contraception and gay marriage is like reading the story of Jesus and the Woman at the Well and say it shows how accepting Jesus is of adultery.
A key to his approach comes later in the interview:
"Because God is first; God is always first and makes the first move," he said. "I have a dogmatic certainty: God is in every person's life. God is in everyone's life. Even if the life of a person has been a disaster, even if it is destroyed by vices, drugs or anything else — God is in this person's life. You can, you must try to seek God in every human life. Although the life of a person is a land full of thorns and weeds, there is always a space in which the good seed can grow. You have to trust God."
Compare Francis' approach with Christ's meeting with The Samaritan Woman at the well. In it, Jesus masterfully takes a woman who has led a sinful life from a simple conversation about water to a self-examination of her life to a recognition that Jesus is the Messiah. He does it without ever voicing his clear objections to her sinful life.
First, Christ respects the woman's freedom. When we say we want to "evangelize" someone, we often mean we want someone to stop being who they are and be who we want them to be. Christ doesn't treat the woman at the well that way. He recognizes the woman for who she is, but offers her a positive way to become more.
Second, Christ speaks in the woman's language about a real need the woman feels, in this case for water. Too often, our efforts to tell other people about Christ fail to recognize their interests, while making our interests (their joining our Church) very clear.
Third, Christ doesn't condemn the woman — rather, he leads her to a place where she can see the error of her own ways. This is crucial. Not only do we frighten people away from us by being judgmental, we deny them the opportunity to truly repent.
The harder way, the respectful way, is the only way that works.
Describes Francis:
"I dream of a church that is a mother and shepherdess. The church's ministers must be merciful, take responsibility for the people and accompany them like the good Samaritan, who washes, cleans and raises up his neighbor. This is pure Gospel. God is greater than sin. The structural and organizational reforms are secondary—that is, they come afterward. The first reform must be the attitude. The ministers of the Gospel must be people who can warm the hearts of the people, who walk through the dark night with them, who know how to dialogue and to descend themselves into their people's night, into the darkness, but without getting lost."
Jesus did things the hard way. It is the hard way that Francis chooses. We should do the same.

Unfortunately there will e many Catholics who will see the news reports or even the actual interview and rationalize that they can continue to support abortion rights.
It has struck me lately that our Lord is trying to send His Church a very important message. I know He is certainly sending me one.
It is said that when John the Beloved was very old, people would ask him, "If there is one thing you'd like the Church to remember, what would it be?" John said, "Love, love, love." (I heard it said a few dif. ways, but the basic meaning is always the same.) It is the message Mother Teresa sent to the sick and dying Buddhists.
FIRST don't judge anyone. You don't know what makes them tick or what's in their heart. SECOND, love them unconditionally. God didn't wait for us to change first before He sent us a Savior to Love us, show us the way, and die for us. ALL people want to be loved, & understood. It doesn't mean you have to approve, just understand where they're coming from. If a person feels loved unconditionally, w/o any agendas they will generally cling to you and love you back. Next, they must understand that because you TRULY love them unconditionally, you want to give them the happiness and joy you feel 'cuz you've found Our Lord and His great love for you! THIS is the ONLY reason, you should hope they will try what you suggest, and for NO other reason! They need to know that you will love them first, as if they were YOUR child. That you won't ever abandon that love for them, even should they reject you. Show them a NEW kind of Catholic! One that LOVES them always, even though you believe in ALL the teachings of our faith! That is what will help them trust the Catholic Church, & believe me, they have seen for a long time that Catholics do not love like we profess we should. SMILE & Actually BE HAPPY w/ your life first! WE all can change, & our Holy Father is trying to lead the way! Pray for Him, and the Church, which is the people of the true faith! In the name of Christ our Lord I pray the Holy Spirit guide us all, to be true ministers of God's great love and mercy!
I do believe the media will distort anything that emanates from the Catholic Church and from its pontiff. It has for many years. First and foremost I would like to say that I am a sinner. No one who walks this earth is blameless; we are all sinners. I have mixed feelings as far as Pope Francis' approach. He quotes Christ's meeting with the Samaritan woman as the example of how to approach sinners. However, one should also study Matthew 18:6-9. If we fail to respectfully and lovingly lead others from sin (including ourselves) we fail our faith and His mission for us. I can't help but feel that our Pope's statements will be taken out of context. It has already happened. The media is having a field day with this, reporting that Pope Francis is taking a "softer" stance on the great evils of our time and I fear that Christ's truth is consequently obscured. We should all pray for our Church and for our Pope that we all find the best way to emulate Christ when addressing sin. We must lead by example, not by judgment, but we must never compromise God's Word.
I would argue Pope Francis does not actually say "love the sinner, hate the sin." When we say that, there is a not so thinly veiled implication that the other is a sinner, but I am not . Pope Francis begins with the recognition of himself as an unworthy sinner. It is from that position that he looks at others who may be doing something objectively wrong with love and mercy. He (and none of us) can pass judgment because no one but God can discern the inner workings of an individual soul. In fact those of us who fall into the error of being self-righteous may actually be in a more serious state of sin than the one who has done something objectively wrong, but "knows not what he does". This is not a compromise on the high and excellent standards of church moral teaching, but it is a humble recognition that the only one I can know for certain is a sinner is myself!
A Christian that evangelizes will always be persecuted! That's the way of Jesus.
When we talk less about abortion, we stop making it a priority. Why doesn't Pope Francis just say, Jesus should be the center for all Christians. This is a given. Defending for Jesus teachings given. Let's see what comes next!

This element defines a docking bar, called a "panel" in the application's user interface. This element must be closed. A docking bar has its own GUID but since an application user can generate his or her own panels, the GUID is generated on the fly. You don't have to worry about this unless you wish to manually create a docking bar by editing an XML file. If that is the case, use a Scenome application to generate a GUID. Docking bar elements contain editors such as the hierarchy editor, material editor, and property editor.
|String, "Primary Panel"
|String, "{89BA8C40-0FCD-41BE-A59A-FF699CA45070}"
|String, "top", "bottom", "left", "right", "float", "right,top", "left,top", etc.
Several examples are provided below.
<dockbar name="Primary Panel" guid="{89BA8C40-0FCD-41BE-A59A-FF699CA45070}"></dockbar>
<dockbar name="Primary Panel" guid="{89BA8C40-0FCD-41BE-A59A-FF699CA45070}" position="left,top"> <dockedview name="Hierarchy" guid="{1F91F9F6-F612-46D4-A453-4B81096121A9}"/> <dockedview name="Materials" guid="{1F922102-F612-46D4-A453-4B81096121A9}"/> <dockedview name="Enumerate" guid="{1F922100-F612-46D4-A453-4B81096121A9}"/> <activeview guid="{1F91F9F6-F612-46D4-A453-4B81096121A9}"/> </dockbar>
Scenome applications are capable of storing the following configurations in XML. Other configurations are available but not via configuration from XML.
