Huanchaco, Peru [video + photos]
Since we've seen the Peruvian capital, the jungle and the sierras it's time for a glimpse of the pacific coast in our limited trip through this part of former Inca Empire. 'Cause our road is taking us north towards Ecuador we decide to stop at Huanchaco, a small beach town 8 hour bus ride from Huaraz. Even though the area is more famous for Chan Chan ruins and the city of Trujillo nearby, it gets it's fair share of tourists, specially surfers.
We arrive in the middle of the night in Trujillo so we can't catch a local bus to Huanchaco unless we are willing to wait another 4 hours, and we take a taxi instead. After 20 min of negotiation we manage to find a driver that will take us there for 10 $ (proud to say our negotiating skills have been fine tuned in Asia). As the taxi driver takes us through Huanchaco to find a place to stay in wee hours of the night it's clear there's not gonna be much late night activities here. The main street (well, pretty much the only street) is totally deserted. After knocking on several doors without answer we finally find someone who's willing to get out of bed and give us a room.
A couple of hours of sleep at one of those windowless – prison-cell-has-more-charm – rooms and we're out to check the place and enjoy some beach time. As usual the first thing we do is to check out the local mercado to get some breakfast and even though it's not remotely as abundant as the one in Huaraz we find some delicious fruit shakes and coffee to get us started.
The beach is nothing to write home about (ok, we got kinda spoiled in SE Asia with it's blue sea, white sand islands), but it's mellow enough and after three months of jungle and mountains it feels very welcoming. Actually, soon enough you realize there's more to this place than meets the eye. First of all, we met some really friendly pelicans that didn't mind getting close enough for a few brief cuddles and some photos. I guess you can already sense that you're getting closer to the Galapagos islands. Secondly, the beach seems to be quite lively and full of various artists, musicians, jugglers and simply people who offer their creative expression in one way or another.
We get some colorful hair and beard extensions, hand woven bracelets, photos with a local iguana and share some interesting conversations with local artists. To top it off we get to share a beer while enjoying a beautiful and long awaited sunset on a beach, with sounds of didgeridoo in the background. I have to say the place has far more charm than expected.

Uttlesford is a local government district in Essex, England led by its council in a central town in the district, Saffron Walden, which is 38 miles (61 km) NNE of London.[1]
Its name is derived from the ancient Hundred of the same name.[2]
The district was formed on 1 April 1974 by the merger of the borough of Saffron Walden, Dunmow Rural District and Saffron Walden Rural District.
Apart from considerable agriculture, retail and office premises in towns, Uttlesford District includes London Stansted Airport, which is its largest employer. For more detailed analysis of strengths and specializations in the economy see individual settlements, for instance the article: Saffron Walden. In October 2008, the airport won a 40% increase in permitted flights under the flight cap which operates in relation to the airport, from the UK government.[3]
Aside from countryside hotels close to and aircraft maintenance vital to Stansted Airport, airlines have also used a small adjoining business park. Titan Airways has its head office in the Enterprise House in the grounds in Stansted Mountfitchet.[4]
Several airlines, including Buzz,[5] AirUK (later KLM uk),[6][7] AB Airlines,[8] Go Fly had its head office at the Enterprise House.[9] and Lloyd International Airways had their head offices on the property of Stansted Airport.[10]
The district has the highest average house price of the 14 districts in the ceremonial county or 12 districts in the Essex County Council administered county. In terms of change: to Autumn 2012, Uttlesford had the 2nd highest quarterly increase after the Borough of Basildon and 2nd highest annually after the Borough of Chelmsford, both exceeding 5%. As a whole the county has a wide range in house prices, with Uttlesford's average house price only 0.85% greater than in Epping Forest District and 203% greater than the lowest-ranked Tendring district of Essex.[11]
House prices were among the top 10 local authorities for resilience in having returned to or exceeded 2007 levels in a 2011 statistical analysis by The Times.[12]
Local Government[edit]
|Conservative Party
|Residents for Uttlesford
|Liberal Democrats
The Conservatives held 31 seats in the 2011-2015 term. They retained control of the Council in the 2015 elections, but with a significantly reduced number of seats (-26%). They lost seats to new local party Residents for Uttlesford, who now comprise the second largest party in the District.
Energy policy[edit]
In May 2006, a report commissioned by British Gas[14] showed that housing in Uttlesford produced the highest average carbon emissions in the country at 8,092 kg of carbon dioxide per dwelling.[15] In response the council stated
We try and lead by example but there is nothing else we can do to get people to save energy[16]
Uttlesford council has, however, introduced a planning permission condition requiring certain energy conservation measures to be taken when homes are extended,[17] and has a number of other initiatives.[18]
A 2010 study by the consultancy Altechnica indicated that all of Uttlesford's energy could come from renewable sources.[19]
In the Media and Trivia[edit]
In 2001, Uttlesford was voted as the best place to live in England, in a survey by the Sunday Times newspaper. A range of factors, including housing costs, quality of schools, and low crime contributed to the overall result.[citation needed] Uttlesford has also been polled as the healthiest place to live in the UK. A relatively very low level of obesity is in the area.[citation needed]
The District is the only UK local authority at non-parishes-level to begin with the letter 'u'. The only other letter of the alphabet used by only one UK local authority is 'y' is often seen in tables as York, but more properly on letters and in publications is seen as City of York.[11]

The Old Clifty
The Old Clifty Church is one of the earliest
places of worship in Greene County. It is approximately 130 years old.
The church is located twelve miles southeast of Bloomfield, on County Road
225 South just off State Road 45 about two and one-half miles south of
Little Cincinnati.
The origin of
the Old Clifty Church began when Daniel Dobson deeded one acre of land to be
used for a church in 1858. The church was built using yellow poplar
logs, which were cut from the surrounding hillsides. The logs were
then dragged to the church where they were erected on the site.
Building began before the Civil War but the church was not completed until
1867 after the men had returned from the war. The trustees then
started a Protestant Methodist Church.
In 1897 a basket
dinner was held. Those that attended the event then voted to have an
annual basket dinner on the second Sunday of August. Church services
were held once a month.
In 1909, the
trustees called another meeting to organize the repair of the church.
They presented the contract to Squire Holman. He then installed a new
galvanized roof, replaced the floor with new lumber, and hand-built the oak
seats, which are still in use today.
After the
repairs to the church were completed, interest and attendance increased.
When night services were held, women and children would carry their hymnals
and lanterns from their homes to the church.
In 1915, the
United Brethren Church held services in the building. Many diverse
groups have used the church in the past. No denomination has ever been
denied the right to worship in it.
In 1942, some
zealots moved in and wanted to sell the church to an eastern promoter who
hoped to ship it to his New York amusement park. A newly-formed Clifty
Church Memorial Association quickly stepped in and purchased the Wesleyan
Methodist Church for $125. More repairs were then made to the
building. New windows, doors, foundation, roof, gables, and chimney
were installed. Chinking were also replaced.
In 1964, the
Clifty School ground was purchased by the Memorial Association and made into
a parking lot. A well was drilled and a new red iron hand pump was
installed in 1965. Through the years many changes and additions have
been made to the Clifty Church. People have donated time and money to
make beautiful and useful the one acre of land given by Daniel Dobson.
From the Bedford stone quarries, men have brought stones to create and
amphitheater of seats. Because of the huge gatherings at the annual
homecoming dinners, the men created a table of slab and block stone
one-and-one-half times as long as the church itself.

Blog 22 february 2012
We have a new lecturer for the course Sustainable Project Management this year and he sure likes to challenge our skills!
His name is Hems Zwier and he has only one simple task for us: to create the Ultimate Guide to Sustainable Project Management. Over the past year-and-a-half we have learned a lot about project management and sustainability, but now that we have to put all of that knowledge into one perfect guide, we are starting to see that maybe all we have learned can simply not be put in one little guide. So instead we have decided to create an interactive guide on sustainable project management, using the internet, books, and even set up an official symposium for professionals.
The website, the pocket guide, and the symposium combined, will be the final product of our efforts in this course, but getting started on them was already a challenge. We have a class of ten people, which normally would be a good number for a project team. The problem is that we are all studying to become project managers and we would all like to be equally important if not in charge of the project. So instead of choosing one person to be in charge, we decided to divide the group into smaller groups that would work on the separate parts of the project. Together with Thorsten, another 2nd year student, I was put in charge of the website, which I'm very excited about.
Creating a website might seem quite simple at first, but when you look at it a bit closer there is a lot to be taken into account. You need to make sure the entire website is consistent in use of language, font, colors and style. Second to that everything has to coincide with the pocket guide and the symposium, to create a whole and coherent project.
I am very curious to see how it will all work out and I hope to learn a lot from this experience. For now my teammate and I will be focusing on creating the first version of the website and in a couple of weeks we will officially launch our website and find out what people think!

Few killed, many injured, all innocent

Who knows how living death hovers when bread winner is lost ?
Politicians are genesis of surge in terror
they are safe, with commandos and bullet proof cars
Common man is King maker on paper
Except right to defeat in elections, is he not helpless pauper ?
Politicians do us a favour
if you can't abort every attack of terror
At least, drop your fancy security cover
Who nows, given access, terrorist may opt for politicians, leaving civilian out of fear ?

While Europe's sensitive fish stocks are dwindling rogue fishermen continue to over-exploit the seas in boats built with EU money. This is an extraordinary example of where policy meets reality: efforts by the EU to preserve our fish sare being thwarted by EU measures to build a better fishing fleet.
Millions of pounds of taxpayers' money has been spent by the EU helping to build, modernize, and retire fishing vessels across the EU, that have then been found guilty of exploiting Europe's dwindling fish stocks. And these are only the vessels that are caught illegal fishing, not the ones that get away with breaking the EU's fishing quotas and other rules. Fabrice Persine, an artisanal fisherman based in Dunkerque, freely admits that he recently breached his quota when he landed 700 kilos of sole valued at £22,000: "What am I supposed to do? Leave my boat at the quayside. The bank will take my home."
"The EU gave me a subsidy, then what, it wants me to keep the boat in the port. It is ridiculous". Fabrice received £165,000 in 2002 to build his boat. In some cases, fishermen have even benefited from EU subsidies after being prosecuted for illegal fishing. The true scale of how many vessels have received funds and committed fishing crimes remains unknown because EU member states have different rules for publishing illegal fishing infractions.
And nothing is in place at EU level to claw-back subsidies from errant fishing boat owners or stop them getting aid in the future, exposing a gaping whole in the EU's policy making and negligent attitude towards how tax payers money is spent. Most member states, France, Italy and Spain, for instance, are big beneficiaries of EU fishing subsidies, but don't make public fined imposed on fishermen. Britain and Denmark, on the other hand, are more open about who has committed fishing offences.
From 2000 to 2006 alone, €4bn was paid out in part by the European Commission and member states to fishermen. Thousands of fishermen took up the grants across the EU, and generous grants too. Individual fishermen, in some cases, received over €1m to build trawlers that can stay for weeks at sea. Such is the nature of marine fishing that trawlers do spend weeks at sea travelling far from their home ports to fishing grounds around other member states, that are patrolled by those countries.
From 2006 to 2008 30 non-British, but registered in another EU members state, vessels were picked up by the British maritime police and prosecuted for illegal fishing offences including: exceeding catch quotas and breaching bans on catching Cod – stock that is already at dangerously low levels. Two-thirds of the vessels had benefited from EU subsidies totalling €5bn. In most cases the boat owners were granted up to 50% of the costs of building the vessel. The same analysis of prosecutions of UK registered vessels showed that only 2% of vessels were grant aided. This is partly explained by the fact that the UK was slower than other countries at rolling out the EU funding program. Most of the subsidised foreign vessels prosecuted in the UK were French, followed by the Belgian, Irish and Dutch.
Boulogne-sur-Mer, France's biggest fishing port, is where some of the French vessels prosecuted in the UK are based. In 2006, the owner of Saint Jacques II was fined £36,000 for mis-recording a cod catch by a British court. Loic Margolle, the owner, complained: "It was awful. I only made a little mistake".
At the port, the local maritime police carry out controls while the fishermen land their stocks. For a similar offence here the owner would have received a much lighter fine, an estimated €3,000. This information would not be made public either. France's central government claims that releasing information about illegal fishing fines would put national security at risk. However, the local maritime police conformed that several of the subsidised vessels prosecuted in the UK had also been fined in France – serial offenders both sides of the Channel that were fishing in vessels subsidised by the EU. Moreover, other French subsidised vessels had been fined in France alone.
One vessel, le Precurseur, was nicknamed 'Le Villan' by the local maritime police. He had received at least 24 fines for illegal fishing, the highest number of fines issued to a single fishing vessel in the region. The owner, Pierre Hagnere, was also prosecuted for illegal fishing in the UK in 2008. He received £367,000 in 1999 from the EU and French government to build the boat. In 2005, he got an extra £10,500. When approached the owner said: "I am not a bandit. I am just a fisherman making a living. There are others in the port that are doing things just as bad as me, but they are not fined. I got a subsidy, but the government has recouped it through taxes."
Another local trawler, Jacques de Thezac, received £86,000 in 2002, was fined in the UK in 2006, and was recently approved an estimated £300,000 grant in France to scrap the vessel. Of the British vessels fined by the local authorities none of them had received subsidies. The same situation is mirrored in Ireland. From 2006 to 2008, 17 non-Irish EU registered vessels were charged in criminal courts with illegal fishing. Eight of them had received €1.7m in subsidies in their home country.
Two of the subsidised vessels were also prosecuted in the UK: the Gwaien, a French trawler and Arcane, a British trawler. The European Commission says that once subsidies are no longer given to fishermen the problem will disappear. It's trying to end subsidy payments as part of the current round of CFP reform. How can the problem disappear though? Subsidised vessels will be roaming Europe's waters for the next 20-30 years, the normal lifespan for a fishing trawler. Potentially, subsidised vessels will be fishing illegally for many years to come.
This article is the result of an investigation for the UK's Channel Four. The TV feature can be viewed below.

Fourth-Quarter Rally Comes Up Six Points Short
Sept. 21, 2013
PHILADELPHIA - Lafayette rallied from a 20-point third quarter deficit before coming up six points short of reigning Ivy League champion Penn on Saturday night at Franklin Field. Penn collected a 27-21 decision, snapping the Leopards' two-game series win streak against the Quakers.
Lafayette played from behind the entire rainy night. The defense found itself in several short field situations in the first half, but managed to hold Penn to 13 points before intermission.
Things started out well, defensively. Shane Brady, who earned the start at safety, registered his first career interception, picking off Billy Ragone on Penn's first possession.
Ragone, a fifth-year senior, evened things out statistically midway through the first quarter, completing a five-yard touchdown pass to Spencer Kulcsar for 7-0 lead at 9:15 on a drive that covered 65 yards in eight plays.
The Penn (1-0) defense got to Lafayette QB Zach Zweizig on the Leopards' next possession. David Park sacked Zweizig and forced a fumble. Penn took over at the Lafayette 22, but the Leopard defense was up to the task. Steve Mercado dropped a Penn ballcarrier for a loss of three yards.
Connor Loftus' subsequent 34-yard field goal missed, but he did add a 30-yarder as the quarter closed for a 10-0 Quaker lead.
Lafayette got on the board on its first drive of the second quarter, completing a seven-play, 63-yard drive at 12:40. Zweizig hit Mark Ross for a 29-yard touchdown strike on an acrobatic catch while Ross (6 catches, 70 yards) was wearing a defensive back. Ryan Gralish's PAT made it 10-7 at 12:40.
The Quakers added a 39-yard field goal with 7:52 left in the half. Zweizig was knocked from the game late in the first half and did not return, relieved by sophomore QB Andrew Dzurik.
In the second half, Dzurik was back under center. His first attempt of the half was picked off at the Lafayette 43. The Quakers used the resulting drive to stretch their lead to 20-7. Penn churned out 26 yards on the ground, but it was a four-yard scoring toss to Mitch King that gave Penn the 13-point advantage.
With a little more than six minutes left in the third, Penn had the ball 2nd-and-goal at the seven. The snap was botched and it looked like Lafayette would drop Penn for a big loss. Kulcsar scooped up the ball and ran it around the left end for a 27-7 lead with 6:11 left.
Lafayette began to mount its comeback in the fourth quarter. The Leopards' defense forced a punt and Matt Smalley broke through to block it, allowing the ball to travel just 11 yards. The Lafayette offense put together a nine-play drive, using five running plays by Greg Kessel and Ross Scheuerman. Scheuerman's second straight seven-yard run made it 27-14 with 10:51 remaining in the game.
Defensively, Lafayette allowed only one first down on the next drive, forcing a punt. The Leopards took over with 7:34 left and marched 86 yards for a score. The crucial play on the drive was a 3rd-and-10 at the Penn 25 when Dzurik hit Justin Adams for a 24-yard first down. Scheuerman finished the drive with a one-yard TD plunge to pull Lafayette within six, 27-21 with 5:31 left.
Lafayette looked to its defense again and the unit responded. The Leopards forced a three-and-out and took over at their own 38 with three minutes and two timeouts left. The Leopards held Penn to 37 yards of offense in the fourth quarter while Lafayette's offense piled up 154.
Dzurik (12-22-2 for 157 yards) immediately found Hall for a 10-yard gain before the drive stalled. Penn stuffed Scheuerman for a loss of one at the line. Then a botched snap moved Lafayette 13 yards farther away. Lafayette took a delay of game penalty that put the Leopards 4th-and-29 at the 33-yard line. Lafayette dialed up the hook and ladder to Ross, but his lateral was ruled a forward pass, turning the ball over to Penn to end the game.
Lafayette (0-3) will open Patriot League play on Oct. 5, hosting Bucknell at 3:30 p.m.
NOTES: Free safety Dion King and defensive tackle Andy Labudev, who started the first two games for the Leopards, did not play.

5 drugstore dry shampoos that don't suck
Shout out to all the longhaired ladies and lads in New York currently struggling over whether or not to shave their head during this hot, sticky summer. We feel you: It's hard to maintain a clean, voluminous mane when the weather is like, "NOPE. You're going to sweat buckets today." Blowouts seem pointless (but, oh, so necessary) and washing our hair, overall, just feels like a waste of time. Solution? Dry shampoo. From making your unwashed hair last longer to adding texture to your strands, dry shampoo should be in everyone's bag right now. And most importantly, you don't have to spend big bucks on a hair salon quality product to find a bottle that actually gets the job done. These five drugstore dry shampoos seriously work. Tresemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo Color Care: Do you color your mane? Perhaps you're currently rocking a My Little Pony dye job? Tresemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo Color Care ($4) was made specifically for processed strands. Spray the improved formula on your roots to soak up oils. Bonus: Since you won't have to shampoo quite as often, your hot-pink head will last a little bit longer. Aveeno Pure Renewal Dry Shampoo: Some dry shampoos make your hair feel dirtier, but Aveeno Pure Renewal Dry Shampoo ($9) makes hair look and feel as if you actually took the time to wash it (it's pure witch craft, we tell ya). And the extra volume you get is just an added bonus. Batiste Dry Shampoo in deep brown: Dark-haired ladies tend to shy away from dRead more

Giant animals will be projected on the Empire State Building this Saturday
Tomorrow night, New York really will be an urban jungle. We're used to the Empire State Building lighting up to mark holidays, special events and big milestones, but this Saturday, the NYC landmark is really going for it. In order to raise awareness about endangered species around the globe, filmmakers Louie Psihoyos and Travis Threlkel will be projecting gigantic, moving animals on the NYC landmark, including snow leopards, cheetahs, bald eagles, black rhinos and humpback whales, all of which are currently endangered. You can see some exciting renderings of the project here, which will be on display from 9pm to 12am. The animals will be 375 feet tall and 186 feet wide, covering 33 floors of the building so... they should be pretty hard to miss. Photograph: Shawn HeinrichsRead more

13 slang words every New Yorker should know
Wanna talk like a New Yorker? Then you gotta know the lingo, wise guy. bodega(n.): This is where you buy your coffee in the morning. And your egg-and-cheese when you're hungover. And also your munchies at 4am. And toilet paper and soap when you run out. Okay, this is where you do all of your shopping. bridge-and-tunnel (adj.): A seemingly benign grouping of nouns ("Oh, look, there's a bridge, and hey, there's a tunnel"), this is a scathing commentary on anyone obviously in the city from Long Island or New Jersey. flying rat (n.): A pigeon. hun (n.): hundred. As in, "I'm going to a party up on a hun'sixteenth street." New Yorkers are busy. We don't have time for entire words. pie (n.): In the rest of the country, this may be mean apple, pecan or cherry. Here, pie means just one thing: pizza. Glorious, glorious pizza. schlep, oy, schvitz, etc. (var.): If it's Yiddish, we say it. Your religion, ethnicity or state of origin doesn't matter—all New Yorkers are a little bit Jewish. (Similarly: agita, muzzarell, prosciutt, etc., because all New Yorkers are also a little bit Italian.) Yooz (pronoun): A plural form of you. Sometimes takes the form: "yooz guys." Schmear (n.): A lot of cream cheese. As in, "Can I getta a bagel with schmear?" northwest corner, southeast corner, etc. (n.): Manhattan's nearly perfect grid system means that, when meeting friends, we get very specific. There's no "I'll come get you on the corner of 14th and Broadway," because guess what? There are foRead more

Check out John Gallagher, Jr.'s ten favorite movies
The frighteningly talented john Gallagher, Jr. is best known for his work on stage—he won a Tony for originating the role of Moritz in Spring Awakening—but he's starting to pop up in all sorts of places, and we're not complaining. Between absolutely killing it on HBO's heart-shattering miniseries Olive Kitteridge and redirecting his Broadway chops towards a side-career in rock and roll (try to catch one of his semi-regular sets at Rockwood Music Hall), Gallagher has also emerged as one of the indie film world's most exciting young actors. His pivotal turns in dramas like Margaret and Short Term 12 displayed a rare sensitivity, and his lead performance in last year's The Heart Machine showed how skilled he can be at subverting his charms. And it's no surprise that Gallagher is diverting more of his energy towards the big screen, because this guy really loves movies. 73 actors submitted ballots to our list of the 100 best movies of all time, but none of them were more passionate about sharing their picks. We were so thrilled to see how much thought and love Gallagher put in to his ballot, and we couldn't be more excited to share his top 10 listand the amazing commentary he sent along with it. 1. The Paper I was first drawn to the movie theater to see this 1994 Ron Howard deep cut by the massive crush I had on Marisa Tomei, who is featured wonderfully in a top notch ensemble that includes Glenn Close, Robert Duvall, Randy Quaid, Jason Robards and Spalding Gray.

You have chosen to report the following comment for abusing our terms of service:
Second, you state "I believe that technically, I used an analogy (includes the word "like") and I think freedom of speech still is in effect in our country."
But apparently you do not understand the English language. You said this in the post I was referring to: "Shame on everyone who voted for this ignoramus."
Now, explain how that was an analogy? Where did you use the word "like". That is a name. You resort to name calling. Very grown-up of you. My sons stopped calling people names when they were 4 or 5. Didn't your parents teach you any better?
And yes, you still do have freedom of speech. No one said you didn't. I was pointing out the name calling. It does not add anything to the discussion.
When you educate yourself, and can actually argue intelligently, do come back and join the adults.
Until then, you should stay off the internet. You're going to hurt yourself.
Oh, and one last point - what in the world does this rambling - "BTW, I assume you buy into the "I thought my wife was getting a $10,00,000 bonus every month" alibi? I haven't spoken to anyone else who does, but you're entitled to your opinion, of course." have to do with anything? Sounds like you have an agenda to pursue instead of trying to make life better here in Volusia County.
Are you sure this is what you would like to do?

LaxPower: For the Fan. For the Sport.
Trevor Tierney on the Huguely-Love Tragedy
On the Facebook page, I will encourage people to post any thoughts, ideas, experiences or insights about their lives while abstaining from alcohol and drugs. For example, maybe you went bowling with a bunch of friends and everyone was sober and had a great time; post it on the group page and attach a comment to tell everyone about your awesome night together! There are too many examples of what life is (supposedly) like with alcohol, so we need to create a new experience and portray a new paradigm for our youth. It's a small step for us to take, but we all need to do little things to make a difference.

Recently, the game received an update which brings a number of enhancements and new goodies.

In addition, you also get the ability to customize your king so that you can complete different challenges and beat the hardest mazes. Here's a change log as per Windows Phone Store:

NEI Audacious Goals Initiative…restoring vision through regeneration of the retina
The Audacious Goals Initiative (AGI) is an effort by the National Eye Institute to push the boundaries of vision science. By facilitating cross-disciplinary research, the AGI is tackling the most devastating and difficult-to-treat eye diseases.
Workshop Report: Regenerating the Optic Nerve. NEI held a workshop in Washington, D.C. on November 19, 2014 focused on identifying promising strategies for optic nerve regeneration. This report summarizes the discussion and presents a plan for moving forward. More news.
About the Initiative
The NEI AGI is catalyzing research that will enable the restoration of vision through regeneration of the retina. The central goal is to replace cells of the retina that have been damaged by disease or injury and to restore their connections to the visual centers of the brain. Through strategic research funding, the NEI is enlisting dynamic scientists and teams who are developing the necessary knowledge and technology to make the goal a reality. Read more about the AGI.
About the Goal
The NEI audacious goal is to regenerate neurons and neural connections in the eye and visual system. The NEI AGI is targeting the photoreceptors and retinal ganglion cells. Photoreceptors—often called rods and cones—are cells in the retina that when stimulated by light generate signals the brain perceives as images. The retinal ganglion cells carry the signals from the photoreceptors to the brain. Read more about the audacious goal.

a good start
I have gone through multiple pairs of these gloves over the years and my biggest complaint is the rubber on the inside of the palm always falls off after 1 ride. I have never figured out why fox wont fix this issue but aside from that I would recommend these gloves to anyone looking for a decent MTB set without being to hardcore like the bombers.

Rivalry week is here
Rivalry time has arrived with the Duke and North Carolina women's basketball teams kicking things off.
In a week when the Blue Devils and Tar Heels will meet twice on the basketball court, North Carolina's women's team travels to Cameron Indoor Stadium to play No. 5 Duke tonight (7 p.m., ESPN2).
Duke and UNC's men's teams will play in Chapel Hill on Wednesday night (9 p.m., ESPN/WRAL).
In women's play, both Duke (22-2, 9-1 in ACC) and North Carolina (17-6, 5-4 ACC) resided among the nation's top 10 teams as recently as two weeks ago.
But the Tar Heels, mired in a three-game losing streak, have fallen to No. 13. Duke, meanwhile, started the season at No. 2 but has dropped a few spots after home losses to No. 1 Connecticut and No. 2 Notre Dame.
Cameron Indoor Stadium hasn't proven to be a good place for the UNC women's team to find a win. UNC hasn't won on Duke's home floor since 2008 and hasn't defeated the Blue Devils anywhere since 2011.
Duke will carry a seven-game winning streak in the rivalry into tonight's game. No current UNC player was on the last Tar Heels team to beat Duke.

Soaps Boards :: The Bold and the Beautiful Forum :: Worst writing and acting
Please register and login to be able to post in this message board.
Quote PattyL: What was the writers thinking, when they wrote the scene of Hope and Wyatt in the woods? Hope falls. She is unconscious. Yet, her lips and eyes are moving. Wyatt kiss Hope. She wakes up. She goes back to being unconscious. He picks her up. Remember, she is unconscious, and, holding Wyatt around the neck. Hope has over three inches of heels on her feet in the woods. He carries Hope to the cabin. How do he know which cabin to take Hope. He put Hope on the sofa, and, she wakes up. He kisses her again. What person allows a stranger into the cabin, after she wakes up? What person kisses a stranger she has never met? oh yea, Brooke and her daughter Hope. This scene was made like a japan's monster movies from the 50's or 60's. Horrible!!!!
he he like a japanese monster movie lol
lighthouse girl
I do not know what the big deal is. You all want liam to suffer, you do not want Steffy back, you want Hope to be Happy so what is there to complain about. If you are pro Hope and Liam, hey he needs a run for his money. Steffy took off and from the posts the main objective is for Liam to sufferand not be with Steffy. So how is this all so bad?
How did she get knocked out? I saw nothing that she could have hit her head on and, she didn't even have a bump, bruise, mark of any kind on her head! And, to be out for so long!!?? How!? why!?
I agree that some of the details were way off (Hope's arms around Wyatt). BUT...I am ecstatic that this show has FINALLY hired a new man for Hope. They have great chemistry together and we can FINALLY move on from Hope and Liam. At least for awhile. Love the new actor they hired as Wyatt.
Real Food
Worse acting I have ever seen on a soap. Come on, there are so many talented actresses out there.
i don't know what happen to all the actors and actresses on the show where did they go
I agree it was very cheesey and I thought for a moment this is stupid. But then I thought well maybe it is supposed to be. It is fiction and maybe the writers wanted a kind of sleeping-beauty episode where Wyatt is Hope's prince charming. Maybe the actors just had fun with it.
Quote bethonly: I didn't see her kiss him. I did see him kiss her. and oh yeah, he had a tent not a cabin. it's probably in the picture she took. lot of what ifs here. I really liked the episode. it was real and cute. that's how it looks at big bear.
They say that because it was Hope and they hate Hope. Now if it had been Steffy that would have been different. They love Steffy. I have watched soaps for over 50 years and I have found that you can not let reality in when you watch soaps. Also, you don't stop watching a soap because you don't like a s/l. That is not loyalty.
Much better writing than the writing with steffy hitting her head in the bathtub.

I've been eating here for a few years now. Great restaurant, bar, lounge! The food and beverages are reasonably priced. Love the roof top setting. Huge tv's to watch sports. Various table settings to accommodate different part sizes. Owner is pretty cool. Staff are nice, but not that attentive. Sometimes the food takes long. I'd recommend it especially during late nights. Open until 4am!
Posted by Tammi Spies on 09/21/2011
Ya know I love the scene. Frat house/Brokerage house, it's just before and after. I just love the food here on the rooftop - salad with a bonus" Ahi for me" (+$5 for the salad topper ladies) is worth it! The drinks are strong, my stilettos stomp to the best of old and new, and the scene is fun. Good food, good scene, open roof. And after? Shots nearby at the Hairy Monk pub with new friends.
Posted by Food For Thought on 07/17/2008
A group of us went here for a co-worker's going away party during happy hour. From the start it took us about 15 minutes to get our first drink, beginning a tradition of slow, unreliable service for the whole evening. The food came quickly, but somehow was already cold. The fried calamari was like fried rubber rings. The chicken spring rolls were basically cold meat mush inside a chewy shell. At first we had about 9 slow waitresses occasinoally stopping by, and though the one who finally decided to stick with us was nice, we were still pretty dissatisfied. At least the roof had a nice view and a cool breeze. Maybe this place is better late at night, but don't bother during happy hour!
Posted by O.P. on 07/15/2008
The only reason to go to Tonic East is for the rooftop bar. There are plenty of seats, as well as room to stand around, but it gets crowded fast. The service is slow, especially on a nice day. The food is great, although a bit over-priced. Try the tater tots or the combination platter!
Posted by Great rooftop on 08/12/2007
Fell in last night around 9:30pm. We went directly to the rooftop and found a table, as it had yet to get packed. Our waitress was courteous and attentive. I had the seared ahi, and my wife the ahi tartar. The food was fine, and had a couple of beers to go with. By 10pm, the place was totally packed, mostly college kids. It was nice being outdoors, and for $50 bucks, overall a good experience.
Posted by Danielle on 06/28/2007
I went with a couple of friends to have lunch and found it to be a very nice place. The atomosphere was great. And the lunch menu was fantastic! You cant beat a huge chicken ceaser wrap with fries and a salad for 5.95. The food and service was really good. The only thing is the wait for the food to come. It was pretty long considering that it wasn't many people there. But I rather wait then to have something uncooked. Overall it is a really nice place to go
Posted by Lisa on 02/14/2007
Awesome place! I had my birthday party here and we all had a blast! We ordered a bunch of appetizers which were really good....Definitely try the crispy shrimp. The music was fun and the staff were very friendly. They really took care of me and my friends and made my birthday special. I would definitely go back again!

NARRAGANSETT -- March 17, 2000 -- What's your stake in Narragansett Bay?
The bay has supported commerce, recreation, and environmental richness since
the earliest inhabitants of this area fished and traveled its waters. Now,
citing the year 2000 as a natural juncture, several Rhode Island organizations
are sponsoring Bay Summit 2000 to assess the history of Narragansett Bay
and consider its future.
The summit, Narragansett Bay in the New Millennium: Environment, Economy,
Community, begins with registration at 8 a.m. Monday, April 24, and runs
all day Monday and Tuesday, April 25. It will be held at the Rhode Island
Convention Center in Providence.
Looking at uses of the bay that include recreation and tourism, fisheries
and aquaculture, and research and technology, the summit will explore the
effects of these activities on the bay ecosystem and on the Rhode Island
economy. Panel sessions will offer opportunities for discussion among government
agencies, academic and nonprofit institutions, business organizations, and
interested individuals. Rhode Islanders who have a stake in the future of
the bay will have the chance to state their views.
Robert Ballard, noted oceanographer and founder and director of the Institute
for Exploration at Mystic Aquarium, will address the summit to launch the
program. Armando Carbonell of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy and former
executive director of the Cape Cod Commission, will offer a summit perspective
to close the event.
The summit is sponsored by a number of agencies and institutions including
the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management/Narragansett Bay
Estuary Program, the Coastal Resources Management Council, and Rhode Island
Sea Grant.
For more information, contact the Narragansett Bay Estuary Program at
(401) 222-3961, the Rhode Island Coastal Resources Management Council at

Here's the question, what if everyone possessed a physical instruction manual and was able to hand out copies to people they meet or are interested in. This concept often crosses my mind as I think of the time and trouble it would save in the usual misunderstandings and miscommunications that can take place during the period when people are just getting to know each other. I fantasize about handing a new acquaintance a little book which reads "Congratulations on meeting Rohan, here is everything you will need to know in order to get the best out of your interactions with Rohan." I know if the tables were turned and someone handed me a user guide to themselves I'd be eternally grateful. I'm pretty good at reading people anyway, but imagine seeing it all in black and white, their likes and dislikes, their hobbies and pet peeves, their talents and deficiencies, favorite foods, movies and music. There would be a biography and a Frequently Asked Questions section, all written in the stale, emotionless language of an instructional guide.
I suppose you could say we have somewhat of a user's manual in the likes of Facebook and other social networking platforms. Spend a few minutes on a person's profile and you will get a pretty good, if superficial idea of what kind of person they are. The problem with user generated social networking pages is the amount of emotive language, the bias, the flattering profile pictures, and people's natural tendency to accentuate their positives while minimizing what they perceive to be there bad points. We've all done it. So that other than their taste in music, a Facebook profile tells you next to nothing about the real person behind it. My vision is for an objective, uncaring third party who simply prints these factual and helpful guides not so much for the benefit of the subject of the manual, but more so for those that read it. In a previous blog I talked about how when meeting new people it's best to be open and honest about what you perceive to be your weaknesses as early as possible, don't hide the truth, get it out there! This manual is the natural progressions of that concept.
So what exactly would this manual include, how would it be structured? Well for the sake of the example let's take a look at what mine might be like! NOTE: Because I'm writing my own there will of course be an inevitable emotional bias, but I'll do my best to keep things as balanced as I can. Also a full guide would be fuller and more detailed, but for the sake of this piece I will condense it all down.
Introduction: Congratulations on meeting Rohan Healy, this useful manual will arm you with all the information you'll need to get the best out of your interactions with Rohan and will guide you in dealing with any problems that may arise.
Quick facts:
Name: Rohan Healy
Race: Irish/Australian
Religion: None
Occupation: Musician, Music Producer, Writer
Hobbies: Video games, history, philosophy, blogging, health, sexuality
Smoker/Drinker: No/Occasionally
Vegetarian: Yes
Sexuality: Straight but open minded and slightly kinky.
Q. That's an interesting accent, where are you from?
A. Rohan was born in Murwillumbah, Australia. But also spent his childhood in France, The Netherlands and Ireland. Hence the confusing accent.
Q. Do you want to grab a drink at the pub?
A. No, unless Rohan is performing at the pub in question, Rohan likes tea and a quiet place in order to engage in conversation, work, or sexual intercourse.
Q. Are you coming to the after party?
A. No, after a gig Rohan likes to pack up and head home for tea and a bit of conversation or television before bed.
Q. Is your name Ronan, or Rohan?
A. It's Rohan, if you listen carefully you can hear the difference.
Q. Do you mind if I smoke/eat meat?
A. Rohan in non-evangelical, he does not care what you do, nor does he make a judgment. He will not give you are hard time about your lifestyle choices or try to make you change them.
Rohan likes: Conversation, taking walks, photography, playing video games, watching Anime, sexual intercourse, documentaries, playing music.
Rohan dislikes: Relationship drama, excessive texting or calling, loud noises, busy places, lies, people who don't respect others' boundaries.
Tips & Troubleshooting:
In order to get the best out of Rohan and keep him running at optimal levels try being kind, supportive and constructive. Rohan can show signs of disorder and malfunction if bullied, hen pecked, regularly lied to and criticized maliciously without any constructive element. Rohan likes to be the center of attention which can be grating at times but is basically harmless. Rohan reacts well to positive people, if you are a positive influence on Rohan he will most likely have a positive influence on you.
Thank you for reading this user manual, we hope that it has been insightful and helpful in enabling you to make the most of your interactions with Rohan. Good luck!
So this was very much an abbreviated version of what a full manual would be like but do you start to see the idea? Now raw data does not tell us everything about someone, it only makes up about half the picture. The other element is chemistry. With compatible data only, everything seems right on paper, but without passion things will be very boring. When it's only chemistry you may enjoy a period of passionate fun, but in the longer term there will be too many conflicts to enable a stable relationship. A great relationship is formed when both exist at once. The benefit I think with the user manual is that it's a time saving device. While you wouldn't necessarily write someone off simply from the contents of their manual, it would give you a pretty good idea of whether you are going to be able to get on with this person or not.
For me though, the manual would be less of a dating guide and more for when you've decided you like someone, or you've made a new friend or colleague. The manual could come into play once the relationship is basically established and you want to give them a heads up on how to make the most of the relationship all at once, as opposed to doing it over time through trial and error. Of course the manual also comes with certain problems and raises a number of important questions. For example should criminal history be included in the manual? What about medical history? Do people have the right to know this kind of information before making a decision on whether to get involved with someone, or should the onus be on the individual in question to give up that information when they deem it the right time to do so? There's a risk of getting a little too Orwellian, especially if the 'manual' were to become compulsory! But let's calm things down a little and keep it fun.
So what do you think, would you like it if new people you met handed you their users' guide to browse through at home? Would you be willing to hand over an unbiased, emotion free manual for the correct operation of 'you' to new acquaintances? Would this kind of manual take the fun and excitement out of discovering a new person, or would it be a time saver that tells you right away if things have a chance of working or not? I personally love the idea and would happily hand over a no holds barred 'manual of me' to anyone who wants to know me, if they are still interested after reading through then they'd definitely be worth having a chat to! And I'll leave you with this thought, have you ever said something like "If I'd known that from the beginning I'd never have gotten involved"? Would the manual save us from these kinds of realizations?
Thanks for reading :)

After another day of extreme heat, a pattern change is underway. Wilmington tied a 57-year-old record Thursday afternoon and hit 100 degrees. The extreme heat helped to fuel severe weather during the evening, with the National Weather Service office in Wilmington reporting a wind gust of 75 mph during the height of the storms.
An approaching cold front will slightly enhance our chance of afternoon storms through the weekend. While we still don't expect any one day to provide continuous soaking rain, more counties should see "pop-up" summertime thunderstorms. And while sunshine will still be plentiful this weekend, temperatures will cool slightly.

Comments On Jul 05, 2015:I replaced a leaking fork seal and thought I had inspected the fork tube correctly.
Long story short, there was a nick in on the of the tubes so after s couple hundred miles the seal leaked pretty bad. Ended up installing another seal after sandig down the nick with a few different grades of sandpaper.
That was over 10.000 miles ago, they function great keeping the oil in and dirt out.
