Gear Review
Comfortable, but questionable quality
I got this pack and used if for about two weeks and ultimately returned it. It is really easy to adjust the shoulder straps to match your torso length and after you get over the weirdness of how the shoulders feel it works really well. The waist belt is super beefy for the size of the pack and makes the load feel really secure. I ended up returning it because it was not sturdy enough for my taste. I noticed that the straps to hold down the lid were stretching at the stitching where the webbing meets the lid (it seems to be some sort of synthetic leather). Additionally I was tightening one of the side straps and the clasp snapped. The only way to fix it would be to cut it off and sew on a new one.
I ended up getting the Osprey Exos 46 which is lighter and seems more durable even with smaller straps.

I have to say, it took me by surprise. After all, I had ditched the feminist side of me long ago. It was tossed in the same heap where I left my fierce independence, my career ambitions, my single life. Now I had settled down into the oft-challenging, endlessly rewarding life of a wife and mother. A stay-at-home mom, a Hausfrau, a domestic queen. Okay, I never baked bread or anything like that, but I was pretty darned committed to this motherhood thing. Still am. But out of the smoldering heap where I left my feminism wafted an ember with a little spark left. And the spark whispered, Isn't there more?

Why Woodlawn?
We Integrate Where & When It Makes Sense
Woodlawn is committed to an integrated and innovative approach to learning and teaching. It is not enough to simply memorize rote facts and statistics. We strive to go beyond mastering the fundamentals in each subject area by engaging our students in group discussions, in-depth research projects, presentations, and performances that often times cross disciplines. Because our world is integrated, we believe our curriculum should be, too. To make learning relevant and meaningful, content from different subject areas is often linked around common themes so that students learn how to make connections between subjects. Students ultimately gain a deeper understanding of subject matter by using it in real world contexts.
We ask an overarching Essential Question in each grade level. This Essential Question guides each curricular area and allows for interdisciplinary projects. Faculty frequently revisit these questions throughout the year in order to promote personal and academic development in our students.
Woodlawn, like all responsible, independent schools, has standards and objectives that we set for each grade level. These contain the content and skills our students must master before advancing. We continually check and revisit these standards to be sure we are fulfilling the objective of these tools for learning. Coupled with that is the heart of our program: the ability to intrigue and challenge students, as well as educate them.
We Promote Active Learning
Life is interesting and so should be learning! We believe that students learn best by experiential, hands-on learning. We encourage inquiry and creative problem solving. While you will still find traditional aspects of school at Woodlawn (i.e. tests, textbooks, and an occasional worksheet), we do not focus on teaching to any one test. Rather than a quest to cover as much material as we possibly can, we believe in spending our time exploring topics and ideas in depth. Real novels, primary sources, projects, experimentation, and intellectual risk taking are the cornerstones of our philosophy. We want our students to continually ask, "Why?" The culminating project at each grade level forces the student to consider all he or she has learned and apply and synthesize that information in a creative way.
We Partner With the Community
We also enrich our academic curriculum with a strong focus on community service and frequent field trips. This provides the students with ways to use what they are learning at school in the real world. Community service strengthens the community and nurtures a sense of empathy in students. 3rd graders take monthly visits to a residence for Alzheimer patients, 8th graders spend afternoons with aging seniors at a state run institution, and 5th graders educate their peers and community on recycling as they take part in a school wide effort to collect recyleable materials. As we persistently push our students out of their comfort zones, we see them working side by side, confronting their own fears or prejudices, and developing a greater sense of appreciation for all they have.
"On our first visit to the senior center, the students were somewhat skittish. They stuck close together, were rather quiet, and had a bit of shock in their eyes," relates an 8th grade teacher. "By the end of the year, they were actually looking forward to their visits. The students brought games, played their guitars, and sat on the beds with their new friends telling them stories or just simply listening. They wandered the halls freely and unafraid. Most kids today would be afraid to help an aging senior navigate down the hallway of a crowded senior residence—not our students."
"We figured out pretty quickly that they liked sweets," laughed an 8th grade student. "After that we were sure to always bring candy and home-baked goods."
We Instill Social Conscience and Encourage Social Responsibility
A curriculum that prepares our students for the 21st century must promote a moral and ethical code of behavior. Students, as our future leaders, need to be able to resolve conflicts, have a strong ecological foundation, embrace and respect diversity, and commit to a sense of balance and wellness... all while maintaining a healthy dose of adolescent idealism. These are challenges that face almost all pre-adolescents and teenagers. Cynicism and indifference have replaced the passion of learning in today's classrooms. Students are faced with complex choices and often need someone to help them manage these pressures. Developmentally appropriate adult intervention and guidance is at the heart of our Life Skills classes (for lower school students). Students need a safe place to ask questions, find information, practice honest communication skills, admit struggles, stand up to a friend, or to seek help. It is here where students begin to develop their own ethic of citizenship and begin to make the world a better place.
We Value Multiple Perspectives
Religious conflicts, rich nations/poor nations, the future of the planet... these topics and more are often at the heart of our classroom discussions. Our students need the understanding and tools to argue with fact and present positions respectfully.
We Hire Passionate, Knowledgeable Teachers
At Woodlawn, we believe that teachers are the single most important factor in determining the success of a school. As a result, we are committed to holding teachers to a high standard; in return, teachers are given more ownership than they would expect in a typical private school. Here, teachers are critical in creating the curriculum, shaping key policies such as the admissions process, and even the hiring of their own peers on the faculty. Our teachers also hold themselves accountable for being an expert in their specific field of study by being committed to ongoing professional development.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers suspended running back Brandon Jacobs on Monday for the final three games following a series of posts on social media sites addressing his lack of playing time, including one during the weekend saying he was ``on this team rotting away.''
The 49ers made the announcement about two hours after coach Jim Harbaugh's news conference, but provided no explanation for why Jacobs had been disciplined. It is doubtful he would return for the playoffs.
Harbaugh declined to address Jacobs' comments, even when asked whether Jacobs was still on the team. He said he was invoking his ``fifth amendment'' right.
The 30-year-old Jacobs has five carries for 7 yards while playing in only two games with the NFC West-leading Niners (9-3-1). He spent his first seven NFL seasons with the New York Giants and has called this his ``worst'' year - though he knew he was joining a crowded backfield that features three-time Pro Bowler Frank Gore as one of the faces of the franchise.
In recent days, he posted a series of photos of himself playing for the Giants - and even a picture of his two Super Bowl championship rings, side by side.
``I am on this team rotting away so why would I wanna put any pics up of anything that say niners,'' Jacobs said in an Instagram post Saturday. ``This is by far the worst year I ever had, I'll tell you like I told plenty others.''
On Twitter later, Jacobs said: ``I don't understand why people are angry at me because I wanna do what I am paid to do, I am a competitive person, I think people should be mad if I didn't wanna play. ... As for all of my Instagram photos I don't have any niner pics, if you'll find me some pics I'll put them up.''
Jacobs, hampered by a left knee injury earlier this season, spends approximately 20 minutes before games punching the goal-post padding. He has said it is his way of dealing with the situation.
Last month, Jacobs posted advice on Twitter with a reference to never working ``in a place where you hate your boss so much, you should always be happy at work'' with a hash tag of ``YouLiveAndYouLearn.''
His post came the same day Harbaugh was hospitalized for a minor procedure for an irregular heartbeat.
Jacobs then said people shouldn't ``assume'' his remarks were football-related, then followed up with more tweets - including one reading ``football is not my life, people'' and another saying, ``Have you ever been in a spot and you wonder why are you there.''
Later, he posted that his tweets referred to his brother's boss, who makes ``him feel like he is the best thing since slice bread but when the budget is shot he is the first one get laid off, same with two other people I know.''
Jacobs ran for 571 yards and seven touchdowns last season with New York as a backup to Ahmad Bradshaw. He is the fourth-leading rusher in franchise history with 4,849 yards, but saw his role diminish with the emergence of Bradshaw and became increasingly disgruntled.

Thanks Guys a couple of nice encouraging comments and
philhomer thank your for you input ,i will take this on board as i learn about photographing birds . i am new to this subject so all help is appreciated .ive just looked at your portfolio ..

Quote: I think you would have benefit from a little negative exposure compensation in order to retain the bird's white head... also would have expected greater clarity from a 5mk2 so sorry but have to disagree with our colleague above
Actually looks OK on my monitor. I also commend you for trying something different. You obviously have a talent and an eye for landscape photography, but we can all beneifit from trying something outside our comfort zone once in a while... bird photography is never easy, especially with limited equipment.

Quote: Oh i wish i had the money for a 600mm lens
so do i! had to sell my baby (500mm) so now using 300mm and 1.4x or 2x convertors - still bl**dy expensive but somewhat more practical
are you utilising a single focus point AF? or are you allowing your camera to choose for you by using 'all points' ? if the latter then switch to single and just ensure that the focus point is on the subject itself and wherever practical, on it's eye
if already doing this then i imagine that the slight fuzziness here could be due to cropping from a larger image?
if in doubt, cheat. Blue Tits, Robins and such will very quickly learn that you mean them no harm and are the source of food - if you cannot reach them, get them to come to you. i find the best bait are suet logs which can either be placed in specific hanging feeders or after a little encouragement in the microwave, be moulded into small logs etc
i don't know where in the country you are but if at all practical for Norwth Worcestershire then i am happy to help - or rather happy to grant access to my semi-tame birds (you probably need only this help)

Dry Sauteeing them will bring out their true flavor, while ridding them of the water that can make delicate dishes like souflees limp and soggy.
For some mushrooms, like these chanterelles, dry sauteeing is the only way to make them truly edible. This instructable will show you how!
Step 1: Aquire and clean mushrooms
(I admit this step could be difficult.)
Failing this, hunt for your own wild mushrooms with a mushroom expert, or buy them at the store. Any kind of mushrooms will work, including those plain old white ones. (this makes even regular ones taste good).
Sort, trim and clean the mushrooms you buy/find. If they are wild (like these) you may need to trim out the rotten spots and brush off forest dirt.
Step 2: Chop 'em up
Keep in mind that when you sautee them they will shrink significantly!
Step 3: Sautee away
As you cook them, water will be drawn out of the mushrooms.
Cook them on medium until all of the water is gone from the pan.
Step 4: Save them for later, if you can...
I managed to save some of mine in the freezer for non-chanterelle season (difficult).
Holy cow! Can I come over for dinner!
(Heh, they're still in my freezer, if squid labs ever does a SC area event )
But it is really sweet of him to share the wealth! Besides which, we get dried/frozen wild mushrooms in food he makes pretty regularly.

Adult literacy mLearning on simple mobile phones
2011 – present: The Ustad Mobile ('mobile teacher') Literacy mLearning project emerged out of recognition that the ideal vehicle to make literacy education software widely and inexpensively available to the people of Afghanistan wasn't the computer —it was the mobile phone, the only ICT device available at an affordable price to the majority of Afghans, including those who are non-literate and living far from urban centers.
With a grant from the U.S. State Department, Paiwastoon developed Ustad Mobile Literacy, an application that runs offline on the simple feature phones available in small mobile shops and bazaars throughout the country. In less than a year, Paiwastoon adapted the entire national literacy curriculum —from the first letter of the alphabet through grade 3 literacy and numeracy, in both Dari and Pashto. It can be installed as easily as a dictionary or any other simple app on any phone with a memory card.
Ustad Mobile Literacy has been approved by the Ministry of Education and is now being used by literacy classes of adult women and Afghan National Army recruits in Kabul. It takes users from the first letter of the alphabet through grade 3 literacy and numeracy and includes hours of narrated instruction, reading comprehension exercises, quizzes, educational games, and video clips for visual learners.
This application is not intended to replace actual teachers, but rather to add value to their work. However, if no instructor is available, Ustad Mobile provides the opportunity for learning on the user's schedule, which can be especially beneficial to Afghan women.
The built-in metrics functionality of Ustad Mobile enables reporting of a user's learning time and quiz scores over bluetooth to her or his teacher's phone. With an additional basic monthly data package (costing around 5.00 USD), a teacher's phone can easily transmit statistics from remote project sites to a secure online database, enabling real-time monitoring of education and training projects from anywhere in the world.
Ustad Mobile has been featured in Afghanistan Today, Wired.co.uk, the AFP, and NBC's Photoblog. It was the the subject of Paiwastoon CEO Mike Dawson's mEducation Alliance presentation in September 2012 and his talk at TEDxKabul in October 2012.

BOSTON — Forty attorneys general sent a letter to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday urging the agency to meet its own deadline and regulate electronic cigarettes in the same way it regulates tobacco products.
The letter, co-sponsored by Massachusetts Attorney Martha Coakley and Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, says e-cigarettes are being marketed to children through cartoon-like advertising characters and by offering fruit and candy flavors, much like cigarettes were once marketed to hook new smokers.
At the same time, e-cigarettes are becoming more affordable and more widely available as the use of regular cigarettes decline as they become more expensive and less socially acceptable.
"Unlike traditional tobacco products, there are no federal age restrictions that would prevent children from obtaining e-cigarettes, nor are there any advertising restrictions," DeWine wrote.
Electronic cigarettes are metal or plastic battery-powered devices resembling traditional cigarettes that heat a liquid nicotine solution, creating vapor that users inhale. Users get nicotine without the chemicals, tar or odor of regular cigarettes.
E-cigarettes are being advertised during prime-time television hours at a time when many children are watching, according to the letter, which has led a surge in sales and use.
The health effects of e-cigarettes have not been adequately studied and the ingredients are not regulated, the letter said.
"People, especially kids, are being led to believe that e-cigarettes are a safe alternative, but they are highly addictive and can deliver strong doses of nicotine," Coakley said.
Citing a National Youth Tobacco Surveys conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the attorneys generals said 1.8 million middle and high school students said they had tried e-cigarettes in 2012, mirroring increases in the use of the product by adults.
The letter urges the FDA to meet an Oct. 31 deadline to issue proposed regulations that will address the advertising, ingredients and sale to minors of e-cigarettes. The decision has been delayed in the past.
Tom Kiklas, co-founder and chief financial officer of the industry group, the Tobacco Vapor Electronic Cigarette Association, agrees that e-cigarettes should be regulated as tobacco products. The group represents dozens of companies involved in the manufacture and sales of e-cigarettes.
"We're in agreement with responsible restrictions on the marketing and sales of these products," including a ban on marketing aimed at children, he said. "What I cringe at is when e-cigarettes get demonized."
The other states and territories joining the letter to the FDA, according to Coakley's office, are: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virgin Islands, Washington, and Wyoming.

The "GAME" behind Floyd's attitude !!!
People want to know why Floyd acts the way he does when it's really obvious and has been for years.
1. (Money first) Floyd was raised by above average pro boxers, one fought Leonard the other Whitaker. I can bet this is why his prime focus is money. If there was one thing they learned from being a great fighter it's that it doesn't mean **** if your not getting paid sufficiently to risk your personal well being.
2. (The Ali Factor) - I'm sure they pointed out many times that regardless of how much he earned and how great he was perceived in his condition who gives a **** ? I'm sure Ali would give half his fortune away to be half as healthy as he is today.
3. (Fans) - I'm sure they taught him about how fickle boxing fans are, it's pretty much one and done when it comes to losses excluding some of the greats who have off nights however they will never live it down.
4. (Racial Superiority Complex) - Floyd hears the bull**** and see's the KFC photo shopped pics now imagine how Joe Cal would react if he were black with his same record, while even he was unfairly criticized at times he doesn't FEEL black so may not take it as personal. I do feel if Floyd was a white American he would be much more appreciated by the masses than he is today. Being fair then (us) blacks may unfairly criticize him as well. However I think the racial history of mankind plays a big role in his **** your opinion attitude.
5. (Coward) - Floyd is 40 - 0 as a pro boxer yet because he didn't fight everybody he is deemed a coward ?????
How would that make you feel ?
Would your recklessly go out and just sign any fight for any amount of $$$ just to prove they fans wrong or say **** you I'm going to get this money ?
6. (Drug Test) If you were a pro fighter who had suspicions of another fighters success and you requested a drug test to make sure the fights fair and got deemed the villian for seeking a fair fight how would you feel ?
Never mind the bs excuses team Pac came with the media handling of this issue would be enough to make me stop giving a ****.
I could go on but Basically Floyd got a lot of GAME from three of the smartest people in the sport and not all of that game was meant for the ring. Floyd understands the war starts long before the first bell rings and he's not shy about making it known.
Confidence will always be mistaken for ****iness especially when your black ask Mayorga/Valero we just love them !!!
90% of pro boxer believe in god and get nowhere, Floyd believes in himself just as much as god and he's doing pretty well for himself imo.
Floyd is a man of many characters because he has game. Floyd knows his words will be twisted and his confidence will be seen as an evil........why would you give a ****.
If the Britz came through to take me out and America wasn't there to back me up and shut that bs down I'd be a bit pissed too.
Jus sayin"......he is a man that has been faced with adversity his whole career and he should have been fighting PPV long before Oscar finally gave him a shot.

White Historians hate Floyd Mayweather and refuse to give him his props.
It's a damn shame that racism still exists in our sport.

Or he just acts that way because it's just a frickin' character just as he says in every frickin' interview.
Some people just don't understand that.

There are even people who discredit his k.o of Hatton while praising Pac for eating left overs.
Those same people discredit Floyd's win over the bigger Oscar while padding Pacs record for eating once again left overs.
You can save the MAB/Morales/JMM talk too. Floyd would destroy each in every one of them with a broken hand.
Some people prefer to watch Vann Damm of Rocky get there asses handed to them before they come back and win while others like to see Steven Segal of Anderson Silva tactically break people down with out getting touched.
In my mind there is no question which two are the best fighters.

I do feel the need to defend my folks though after years of hatred and bs attempts to destroy the truth that is Floyd Mayweather.
I don't know Floyd as a person but he is a brilliant boxer in and outside the ring he also spreads his wealth through out the community to homeless whites /blacks/mexicans who won't be buying any ppv's.
If I was defending Obama (which I won't) would you give a ****.
Bottom line it's not him being black that's the problem it's the fact that he's dominate & black with no k.o power.
That bother's people ...cool...but hatred is through the roof and is uncalled for.
2Pac was the same way....oh wait you must think Pac was a drug dealer or a street thug that robbed people for a living....Sorry but just like Floyd he was raised by prominent members of the Black Panther political party and given game just like Floyd was given from his people and is hated for uses it in the smartest most effective way possible.

True indeed but he's a fighter not a politicians ****ing gays in the airport bathroom. He is not the Pope ****ing kids at the vatican in god's name & he is not Bush looking for non existent wmd's.
I love Mayorga I just watched him smoking a cig at the mma press conference for his fight with Din Thomas where he smacked Din. While this attitude may be unprofessional we love this **** but if his skin was a shade darker only I would love it and you would hate him.
Respect in boxing is way overatted. Boxing lost steam not because of the lack of talent but because of the lack of entertainment and loud mouth rivalry's.

What art history reveals about 'dehumanization' of Jews in Swedish drawing
Even if the controversial Swedish drawing does represent Jews as rats, representations of Jews as animals has been a fixture of Jewish art history at least since the Middle Ages, and some say it's a legalistic device that helps artists avoid representing humans in an 'idolatrous' fashion that violates the Second Commandment.[Read More]
Three religion trends at The European Fine Art Fair (TEFAF) Maastricht
The notion that a camel has a better chance of crawling through the eye of a needle than a rich man does of setting up shop in heaven couldn't be further from the culture of TEFAF, whose press releases talk of 170 private jets descending on the Maastricht airport and about 65,000 tulips adorning the halls of the convention center.
But whatever the odds, there was a lot to be said about religion and religious art at TEFAF. In virtually ever section of the fair–paintings, antiques, modern, manuscripts, classical antiquities, design, works on paper, and jewelry–there were at least dozens of examples of fascinating works with religious content and themes (and, to be fair, many not so interesting works).[Read More]

About UniReady Enabling Program
UniReady is free to Australian and New Zealand citizens, and Australian permanent residents. It's designed to help you gain entry into a range of Health Sciences, Humanities or Curtin Business School undergraduate courses.
UniReady is for you if you:
- missed out on Curtin's minimum ATAR; or
- completed year 12 but did not take WACE exams or equivalent; or
- are undertaking or completed vocational studies and now want to come to University; or
- are a mature age student (20 years or older).
UniReady Intensive
UniReady Intensive is a five week (plus orientation and exam week) program offered at the Bentley campus during January and February. It can help you gain entry into your chosen course in time for first semester.
Please note that the Australia Day public holiday on Monday 26 January 2015 will not be observed - classes will run as normal on that day.
UniReady Semester One and Two
UniReady is a one-semester (12 weeks, plus orientation and exam week) program offered in first and second semester, either on campus at Bentley, fully online, or a combination of both.
Please note:
- Applicants must be past the compulsory school age as defined by the Western Australian School Education Act 1999 in the year they wish to study in the UniReady Enabling Program.
- Australian and New Zealand students must be resident in Australia for the duration of at least one unit.
Study through UniReady
The UniReady Enabling Program aims to develop your independent learning skills and prepare you for university study. The program incorporates a high degree of flexibility and responsiveness that caters to students with a wide range of educational backgrounds, ages and experiences.
How will this program help me get into Curtin?
When you complete the program successfully, you'll be able to apply for entry to certain undergraduate courses at Curtin. When you apply, a 'notional' ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank) will be calculated from your final grades. This means you'll fulfil Curtin's minimum entrance requirements of an ATAR of 70 and English competency.
Your score isn't considered an official ATAR because it's not awarded through WACE, but it's recognised by Curtin and TISC as meeting the University's minimum entry requirements.
How much will it cost?
There are no course fees for UniReady and you won't be charged per unit. But you are expected to buy essential study materials such as stationery and a calculator, and have access to a reliable internet connection.
How do I complete the program?
The program consists of four units (100 credits) and you must pass each unit to successfully complete the program. You need to enrol in two core units and choose two units from the five optional units:
|Unit code
|Unit name
|Fundamentals of Academic Writing
|Foundations of Communication
|SELECT TWO OPTIONS (see below)
|Optional units to select from
|Introduction to Humanities
|Introduction to Commerce
|Introduction to Health Sciences
|Applying Mathematics
Your optional unit should relate to your preferred undergraduate course. For example, if you want to study a degree from the Health Sciences faculty, you should complete the Introduction to Health Sciences unit.
Courses UniReady can lead to
The UniReady Enabling Program may help you qualify for entry into some Curtin undergraduate courses - see the list below.
If you're not sure if UniReady will qualify you for a particular course as it's not listed, contact the course's faculty to determine the requirements.
If you're interested in studying science at Curtin (other than a Health Sciences course), contact the Faculty of Science and Engineering for information about their enabling programs. See Science and Engineering Alternative Pathways or phone (08) 9266 1000.

Happiness is the polar opposite of catching your dad watching holiday themed porn
You must be Logged in to post a comment
Right, happiness is catching yer superhot step-sister watchin holiday themed porn and gettin the invite to join in.
What? Porn is only for non-parents? Man, we need porn more than You do. Give us some privacy for once in 18 years. Besides, we pay for the whole industry. You're welcome.
in truth...so many of you wouldn't exist if it weren't for porn.
At least he didn't catch YOU in the porn.
Seeing your dad watch "Santa and his Ho Ho hoes" was too disturbing for you?
jingle ball cock is my fave
Get off his dick, or tell your mom to put out
No matter how old you get, your parents' sex life is something you never want to hear about!

|About Us
Fitnessmatch4u.com is the perfect, online dating community for people who feel being fit is an important part of their life. Our members believe being fit isn't just about looking good and having a firm, well-trained physical body. Fitness for them really means embracing a healthy lifestyle and showing that they care about themselves, both inside and out. They consider the quality of their life and, at any age, want to be strong, active, and involved. Our members understand the power of commitment – be it to a fitness goal or a special person, and work towards having a healthy mind, body, and spirit.
Our Compatibility Advantage
Fitnessmatch4u.com is unlike other dating sites because it right away puts you in touch with a group of like-minded individuals with a common interest. We narrow the field to a group of compatible people who want to build their bodies and a lasting relationship. On traditional dating websites, you fill out a profile and hope to be matched with someone who is also involved with fitness. You need to trust that another person, or an impersonal search program, thinks being fit is an important enough reason for a connection. At Fitnessmatch4u.com you can be assured that everyone in our online community has the same approach to living well and being healthy. Relationships studies show that having shared interests is a significant part of a long-term, loving relationship. When you join Fitnessmatch4u.com, you will find your fit-minded match who understands how you work towards a goal and feel satisfactions knowing you're doing something good for yourself. They'll understand and appreciate the time you spend on being fit, will support you in the gym and in life, and you'll grow better and stronger together.
To ensure the best possible fit, Fitnessmatch4u.com goes a step further by providing different options for qualifying their community members. Someone can be considered an ELITE FIT profile, which includes professional athletes and beautiful fitness models, to a FIT profile, where people don't make fitness their career (but may look like they do), or the WEEKEND FIT profile, where someone has many interests outside of the gym but are still health-conscious and fit-minded.
Access to Leading Fitness Experts
Fitnessmatch4u.com is also different from other dating websites because we help improve the general health and wellbeing of our community. You can find our team of fitness professionals at special promotions, fitness events and expos, and local-area gyms. Our team can be heard on radio stations, seen on television, and quoted in fitness publications in conversation with today's leading experts in the fitness field. We are available to give advice not just on finding the right fit but on being fit. Fitness questions can be asked in our chat rooms and downloaded on any smart phone. At Fitnessmatch4u.com, we keep you closely connected to the fitness world to help look and feel the best that you can be and find a partner who is the very best for you.

moreSchema matching is the task of providing correspondences between concepts describing the meaning of data in various heterogeneous, distributed data sources. Schema matching is one of the basic operations required by the process of data and schema integration, and thus has a great effect on its outcomes, whether these involve targeted content delivery, view integration, database integration, query rewriting over heterogeneous sources, duplicate data elimination, or automatic streamlining of workflow activities that involve heterogeneous data sources. Although schema matching research has been ongoing for over 25 years, more recently a realization has emerged that schema matchers are inherently uncertain. Since 2003, work on the uncertainty in schema matching has picked up, along with research on uncertainty in other areas of data management. This lecture presents various aspects of uncertainty in schema matching within a single unified framework. We introduce basic formulations of uncertainty and provide several alternative representations of schema matching uncertainty. Then, we cover two common methods that have been proposed to deal with uncertainty in schema matching, namely ensembles, and top-K matchings, and analyze them in this context. We conclude with a set of real-world applications.

Product description
In the third volume of The Flowers of Evil, Takao must make a decision. He now has an opportunity to break free from the social shackles that Nakamura has placed on him, as he has a chance to be loved by someone he has affections for. This could also be an opportunity to be accepted by the masses in his small community. But with this choice comes fear and self-reflection. After having an chance trip to Nakamura's place, where he got to experience the world his only "friend" has grown up in, he realizes that for both teens, there is very little future to look forward to as they are raised in the boonies. Their lives are mapped out before them. For most adolescents these days, life will continue to be blase at best, miserable at worst. Can they change things together? Do they want to even bother?

Author information
At only 30 years of age, Shuzo Oshimi is already considered a seasoned veteran of the Japanese comics community. Winner of the most important comics awards for newcomers, the Tetsuya Chiba Award in 2001, Oshimi has been penning quirky slice-of-life dramas now for a decade for major manga publishers such as Kodansha and Futabasha. Raised in the slow laid back hills of Gunma, in mid-eastern Japan, Oshimi wished to someday escape his community for bigger pastures. Living solely off of comics and books, he is a man of words and that shows in his very humanist stories. While he has drawn nine series in the past decade, Oshimi's star began to climb just recently in 2008 with the release of his first hit "Drifting Net Cafe." This horror-themed homage to the legendary Kazuo Umezzu work, "Drifting Classroom," was adapted into a live action series and propelled Oshimi onto an international stage. He would soon reach new heights in 2009 with his most recent series Flowers of Evil. In 2010 and 2011, the property quietly landed on numerous must read lists and has helped revitalize the shonen genre.
Review quote
"Oshimi uses surreal imagery--a wall of eyes, a fun-house mirror, a giant sink hole--to suggest that Kasuga's normal teenage discomfort with sexual feelings has become something more powerful and destructive: shame...That said, "The Flowers of Evil" is a shockingly readable story that vividly--one might even say queasily--evokes the fear and confusion of discovering one's own sexuality. Recommended." --"The Manga Critic ""Unlike [other manga], "The Flowers of Evil" understands that 'strength' comes from great insecurities and weakness. However, this 'strength' is not about climbing mountains and emerging victorious. This involves strength in crossing the dark side of the mountain and how to bask in it--nourishing our personal demons...By loving this manga I recognize what a sick and twisted individual I have become. While I can still say that I am not truly deviant, "Flowers of Evil" is a great reminder of my own thirst for power and my own personal corruption." --"Otaku Champloo"

"Breaking Point: The Factors Behind Insanity"
Insanity is one of those things that most psychological texts attempt to categorize, illustrate, and analyze, but never outright define. Indeed, from some standpoints, insanity and sanity are too relative to the individual and his circumstances to be given any single, all-encompassing definition. There are, however, several key factors to be noted among the various "forms" of insanity known to modern mental health experts.

Anyone else notice the CSS on css tricks hasn't been working?
I am using Firefox latest version.
If I would go to Css-tricks.com I only get a html page now recently this has happened to video page and others. The only one that doesn't have html only is furoms.
Working fine for me!
I wonder if firebug made it bug out. I did add some add-ons for it.
Fine here too.

Now it doesn't work I wonder if it is a server issue.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. – The Holy Cross softball team opened the 2012 season at the Rebel Spring Games in Kissimmee, Fla. on Sunday with a morning doubleheader against Detroit and Sacred Heart. The Crusaders battled hard in game one against Detroit but were unable to rally and fell by a score of 4-1. In the second game, Sacred Heart took the lead in the bottom of the third inning and scored 10 runs in the fourth to earn a 14-0 victory in five innings.
In game one, the Titans scored two runs in the first inning to take the early 2-0 lead. The Crusaders answered in the bottom of the second when senior Nicole Ortiz (Whittier, Calif.) doubled to left center and sophomore Alex Gustafson (Medford, Mass.) recorded her first RBI of the season with a two-out single to drive in Ortiz. Sophomore Sarah Free (Claremont, Calif.) attempted to tie the game in the bottom of the fourth inning when she drilled a double off the top of the outfield fence, but the Crusaders were unable to bring her around and the score remained 2-1.
After a Detroit leadoff home run in the top of the seventh inning by first baseman Sarah Cupp and a Holy Cross error that allowed pitcher Karyn McCarty to reach, the Crusaders perfectly executed their bunt defense and turned a rare 5-4-7 double play. Gustafson retired Vanessa Garcia at first with second baseman Ashleigh Vargas (Wakefield, Mass.) covering. Vargas then fired over to third base where left fielder Ortiz was waiting to tag out the base runner on the back end. The Titans were able to add another insurance run with two outs in the inning to bring the final score to 4-1.
Sophomore pitcher Julia Barrett (Gardner, Mass.) totaled a complete game facing 30 batters and allowing nine hits, two earned runs and six strikeouts. Her record falls to 0-1. McCarty got the win for the Titans bringing her record to 1-1 on the year. She allowed four hits and one run over seven innings.
In game two, junior Jenna Legros (Sandy Hook, Conn.) took to the circle for her first start of the season. The Crusaders were unable to generate any offense over the first four innings until junior Kat Rosenthal (Boston, Mass.) ended Sacred Heart pitcher Nicole Sidor's no-hitter with two outs in the top of the fifth inning. The Pioneers scored four runs in the third inning and added 10 more in the bottom of the fourth to record the 14-0 victory. Senior Camille Trainor (Worcester, Mass.) saw relief action and freshman Tori Cheske (Thomaston, Conn.) also saw her first career action in the circle. Senior Liz Tsipouras and Sidor each hit a home run to lead the Sacred Heart offense. Legros took the loss falling to 0-1 on the year.
Detroit moved its record to 2-6 on the season while Sacred Heart is now 1-5. The Crusaders (0-2) return to action on Monday, March 5, with games against South Dakota and Indiana State at 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m., respectively.
