Singapore or Japanj for a highly skilled, work force- with. generation& of experience repairing U.S. Navy shipir. With dkydocks, Subic will rewa@h capable of servicing U.S. ships at. great savings to the Naj.. Yet., to.date. the AdmWstratiorl has. shown little interest in helping U.S. companies. Instead., beffinning June 1, the Navy plans to fire about 4,500 Subic workem- This skilled work force then will sbm disperse. Delaying the transfer of the drydocks until November also will give the Philippine, government, which- will be. elected on May 11, time to decide whether it wants to rebuild a military relation 'ship. that will allow for continued U.S. access to Philippine bases. By supporting the transfer of Subic's facilities to American. investors, Manila will. be signaling its interest. in rebuilding military relations. with Washington. So far, front-running presidential candidates like Ramon Mitra and Fidel Ramos say that they are interested-in repairing U.S.-Philippine ties.- Such a new military relationship could be built. around the 1951 U.S.-Philippine Mutual Defense Treaty. Instead of permanent bases in the Philippines, periodic access to bases during c rises could help the- U.S. respond more effectively to potential threats on. the Korean Peninsula and elsewhere in the region. A similar relationship based on. U.S. access and cooperadon@ is being. established with SingapQm, By using the Singapore arrangement as a model for military relationships -with the Philippines aq4 other countries in Southeast Asia, the U.S. can help preserve stability in Asia. Asia remains a vplatilp place where the end of the Cold War has unmasked long-dormant edmic and nationalist rivalries. The most important security question for the U.S. in Asia is the role of Japan. Washington liee4s to make sure that Japan does not again. become a military power. The best way in which the U.S. can prevent this is to envelop Japan in a web of U.S.-led military relationships that promote peace in Asia. A reconstituted.U.S.-Philippine strategic relationship should be part of this web. The privatization of Navy ship repair facilities at Subic advances the goal of rebiailding the relation- ship between Washington and Manila by helping American investors. andFilipino workers Mike. The U-.S. Navy, moreover, would benefit from. continued, albeit decreased, access to a strategically lo- cated repair and maintenance facility. And in the long run, hopes for a renewed military relationship between Washington and Manila would be'kept alive. These possible benefits far outweigh the negli- gible costs of delaying by six months the departure of the U.S. Navy's two drydocks from the Philip- pines.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 16, 2013
Nationally renowned motivational youth speaker Scott Greenberg facilitated a bullying awareness activity for 400 teen leaders from California's Riverside and San Bernardino Counties attending the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards conference sponsored by Rotary District 5330. The activity allowed students to explore the problem of bullying through an informal group survey.
Teens were divided into 40 groups and asked to create a survey question related to bullying. Once each group created their question, they spent ten minutes mingling with other groups and collecting responses to their question. Students were instructed to note which groups' questions they'd already answered to ensure their responses would not be replicated in the same group's data. Each group was able to survey at least 25% of the 400 students present, though each group's pool of respondents was unique, depending on whom they mingled with during the ten-minute timeframe.
"With all the current attention the media is placing on bullying, we wanted to give students a chance to report from their own experience," says Greenberg, who was one of three motivational speakers hired by the Rotary district to present motivational keynotes, icebreakers and leadership workshops at their annual teen conference. "With a diverse group of 400 students from all over Southern California, we were able to quickly compile some very interesting data."
After collecting responses, students returned to their small groups and compiled their statistics. Though many groups asked the same question, responses varied based on how their version of the qu

The ditch had about 18 inches of water in the bottom. The man was certified as deceased at the scene.
The discovery of the body came at about 9:30pm on Monday evening and it was found that the man had been dead for some time.
Enquiries have begun to establish the movements of the deceased prior to his death.
The last confirmed sighting of him was by a neighbour at his home at around 10:00am yesterday morning.

Two injured in Boston dog attack
Two people have suffered serious injuries following a dog attack incident in Boston.
The incident happened at 3.20pm on Monday 2 June in Margaret Drive.
A 41 year-old woman walking her dog was attacked by another dog. She suffered deep lacerations and her dog received several bites.
An 80 year-old man who intervened to help suffered a facial injury, bites to his hand and a suspected fractured arm. Both victims were treated at Boston Pilgrim hospital.
The dog involved was contained in a police van and subsequently destroyed at the request of the owner.
Two people were interviewed at Boston Police Station in connection with the incident and enquiries are continuing.
The actions of the intervening passerby undoubtedly saved the lady and her dog from more serious injury and he has been badly hurt himself as a consequence. I would like to extend my thanks, on behalf of Lincolnshire Police, for his courageous and selfless community spirit".
Lincolnshire PCC report shows rise in sexual offences
The number of sexual offences in Lincolnshire has risen by nearly twenty per cent year on year according to the Police and Crime Commissioner's annual report, published today.
Overall crime is down by nearly three per cent and there were big drops in the levels of anti-social behaviour and burglaries.
The commissioner, Alan Hardwick, has defended his policy after the Police Federation criticised him for spending more than £600,000 on police volunteers, instead of frontline officers:

Please read TECH156810 before NBU 7.1 upgrade
If you are planning to upgrade your NetBackup servers to 7.1, please read TECH156810 before you do:
Symantec hasn't posted this on the Late Breaking News link for NBU 7.1 yet, so I'm hoping this might save some folks a little headache and potentially a LOT of time upgrading.
In a nutshell, there is a problem with the 7.1 installation that will convert your existing NBU policies to a new 7.1 format. However, it needs to communicate with the NBEMM process on your server, but that process will have been shut down prior to this point in the install. The install script will still try to convert each Windows policy one at a time and will time out after about 5 minutes or so; this would have taken an additional 6 hours in our enviornment of about 58 Windows policies.
The Tech Note documents a process to skip this step and then run it after the upgrade script completes. FYI, it's a little involved.
Comments 4 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Even though I tested upgrading v7.0.1 to v7.1 I have yet to do my Production environment. This would have bitten me big time (5-6 hours delay) so thanks for posting this.
Despite the Technote workaround, wouldn't it be better to simply identify affected clients beforehand and change their definition to a support type? The technote mentions Windows clients with PC, PC-x64, or PC-IA64 hardware definitions. I was hoping to identify these beforehand and change them however in my case they're mostly old Win2k servers so they are set as PC/Windows2000 or even PC/WindowsNET.
Was trying to work out wether to use the workaround OR change client definitions beforehand. Do we know what this conversions process will changes these to?

Former major league baseball pitcher Tommy John was in Watertown Thursday to speak at a fundraiser sponsored by the Watertown Wizards for area Babe Ruth Baseball leagues.
John, who won 288 games over 26 seasons, is mostly known for his time with the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees and also for the famous arm surgery he underwent in 1974 that bears his name.
Before speaking to area fans, John spent about 12 minutes talking with the Watertown Daily Times about a variety of subjects, including Jay Cutler, ironing and pitch counts.

Reviews :
Sarah Hammond (Children's Literature)
The first in a trilogy, this book is one of war, violence and love. Marked with a sprinkling of dry humor, this is the tale of Theo, a strong-willed orphan and his companions, two of whom are Count Las Bombas, a crooked man, and the girl with whom he falls in love, the mysterious and opinionated Mickle. Theo sets out on a journey of desperation after becoming involved in a murder. The town of Westmark is in a state of complete chaos; the King is on his deathbed, leaving the opportunity for a controlling, power-hungry man to take over, and the Princess is missing. In the end, it becomes Theo's personal quest to save the city while facing a decision between right and wrong. This winner of the ALA Best of the Best Books for Young Adults award is a treat to read. Because of its intense combination of humor and danger, this book will appeal to readers of all genres. Alexander does an incredible job, once again, of telling a story full of magical wonder. 2002, Penguin Group, $5.99. Ages 9 to 12.
(PUBLISHER: Firebird (New York:), PUBLISHED: 2002 c1981.)
Alana Willingham (Children's Literature)
Theo is a young orphan, making his way through life as a printer's apprentice. However, due to Chief Minister Cabbarus' disruption of the Westmark's monarchy, this occupation has become a dangerous one. While escaping a warrant for his arrest, Theo encounters individuals of various shapes, sizes, backgrounds, and occupations. Through his travels and dealings with these people, Theo manages to come full circle in his escapade. Although Alexander uses a web of characters in this story, he impressively manages to keep them untangled. In the beginning, the characters are separate entities, but by the end of the story, everyone is acquainted. Alexander accomplishes this by telling two stories at once. Theo's account seems to weave itself into a complex story that leads to success. On the other hand, the Chief Minister's story, which is being told simultaneously, seems to unravel itself with the demise of the self-appointed leader. The reader does not realize until nearly the end that one story will impact the other. The composition of this work of literature, as well as the positive message it bears, make it a success. Comprehensively, the message says that even those with meager beginnings can secure noble endings, while those with grand beginnings can close with tarnished endings. 2002 (orig. 1981), Firebird/Penguin, $5.99. Ages 12 up.

CSLA Mod ver. 2.26 has been released!1 year ago ČSLA Mod for Arma 2:Combined Operations 8 comments
Latest version of CSLA Mod for Arma 2: Combined Operations has been officially released.
Air defence is defined by NATO as "all measures designed to nullify or reduce the effectiveness of hostile air action."[1] They include ground-and air-based weapon systems, associated sensor systems, command and control arrangements and passive measures (e.g. barrage balloons). It may be used to protect naval, ground, and air forces in any location. However, for most countries the main effort has tended to be 'homeland defence'. NATO refers to airborne air defence as counter-air and naval air defence as anti-aircraft warfare. Missile defence is an extension of air defence as are initiatives to adapt air defence to the task of intercepting any projectile in flight.
In some countries, such as Britain and Germany during the Second World War, the Soviet Union and NATO's Allied Command Europe, ground based air defence and air defence aircraft have been under integrated command and control. However, while overall air defence may be for homeland defence including military facilities, forces in the field, wherever they are, invariably deploy their own air defence capability if there is an air threat. A surface-based air defence capability can also be deployed offensively to deny the use of airspace to an opponent.
Until the 1950s, guns firing ballistic munitions ranging from 20 mm to 150 mm were the standard weapon; guided missiles then became dominant, except at the very shortest ranges.
The essence of air defence is to detect hostile aircraft and destroy them. The critical issue is to hit a target moving in three-dimensional space; an attack must not only match these three coordinates, but must do so at the time the target is at that position. This means that projectiles either have to be guided to hit the target, or aimed at the predicted position of the target at the time the projectile reaches it, taking into account speed and direction of both the target and the projectile.

Penang | Events | Folklore & Traditions, Balls & Parties, Trade…
Pesta Pulau Pinang
'God-king' Francis Light was a hit at the 18th-century Kedah court, but barely kept his head when Britain adopted the 'Island of Betel Palms' as its first Malaysian foothold. Ex-colonial daughters and sultans' sons let bygones be bygones at Pesta Pulau Pinang, turning out for George Town's lion dancing, trade fairs and a month-long cultural exhibition.
Insider tips:
Pulau Pinang is the official Malay name for the state of Penang, while pesta refers to a festival.
The PPP festival is multi-faceted, containing many local events including beauty pageants, food fairs, markets, etc. It's celebrated throughout the state, so check with local tour operators or your hotel concierge for specific information. The state capital of George Town naturally has some of the most lively happenings.

Support for Legalizing Marijuana at Record High
Follow @azmatzahraOctober 18, 2011, 1:29 pm ET
Fifty percent of Americans now say they believe marijuana use should be made legal, the highest percentage to date, according to a nationwide Gallup survey released yesterday.
Support for legalization is up from 46 percent last year, with younger, politically liberal Americans more likely to favor legalization. According to the polling group:
Those supporting legalization recently gained a powerful ally. Last Friday, California's largest group of doctors announced that it supports legalization on the grounds that California's medical marijuana law has created an "untenable situation for physicians: deciding whether to give patients a substance that is illegal under federal law."
Dr. Donald Lyman, the physician who wrote the California Medical Association's new policy told The Los Angeles Times that only after marijuana is legalized can the medical community undertake the research needed to determine whether the drug is useful for medical purposes. The association is believed to be the first large medical association to call for legalization.
Still, there is significant resistance to legalization. According to Gallup, 46 percent of Americans say marijuana use should remain illegal. Those opposed to legalization often cite dangers associated with the drug's use, and they may have just gotten some new ammunition, courtesy of researchers at Columbia University. Their study, published in this month's journal of Epidemiologic Reviews, found that marijuana use by drivers is associated with a "significantly increased risk of being involved in motor vehicle crashes." According to the study, drivers who use the drug up three hours before getting behind the wheel are more than twice as likely to be involved in a crash.
To date, 16 states and the District of Columbia have passed medical marijuana laws, and more than a third of all states are experimenting with some form of legalization or decriminalization.

Amazing, delicious, absolute repeat. changes? I used guanciale instead of pancetta, because i had some. I added the rabbit liver for additional earthy taste. I added the aromatics (celery, carrot, onion) after the guanciale rendered and then I pulled it to the side when the onion was soft and added the rabbit. I used about 20 ounces of tomato since i had opened a 28 ounce can. I used a bold chewy, Wolftrap, a South African Mourvedre Viognier. And I added 2 fresh bay leaves. made it in the afternoon, shut it off and let it mingle and then reheated it for dinner with hand made pappardelle. Seriously good and an absolute repeater!flag if inappropriate
This was a delicious dish...didn't change a thing. I'm lucky to have all the fresh rabbit, herbs etc. right at my fingertips.flag if inappropriate
Delicious - a lovely warming dish. Like others, used chicken thighs (which took longer to cook)and regular bacon, but, other than that, followed the recipe. I served this with Creamy Baked Polenta with Herbs and Green Onions from this website.flag if inappropriate
I used this as an appetizer. I cut everything into smaller pieces and then spooning the ragu into premade phyllo cups. I placed a small piece of dubliner cheese on top and baked for 5 minutes at 350 degrees to melt the cheese. It was a big hit for our regular dinner club crowd.flag if inappropriate
my friends came back from a hunting trip and i ended up with a rabbit and i was searching for something to make with it. first of all this smelled incredible, and tasted even better. only changes i made was i added a bay leaf with the wine and used dried seasonings as i didnt have any fresh. served with polenta and string beans came out really good. would def make this againflag if inappropriate
Great basic recipe. I love rabbit but couldn't find any locally, so I too made it with chicken thighs. Used regular bacon instead of pancetta and dried herbs instead of fresh (halved the amount). I also added a few chopped crimini mushrooms and a bay leaf, then thickened it with a little flour.flag if inappropriate
I made the recipe with veal shoulder instead and followed those instructions. A very delicious hearty dish.flag if inappropriate
We really enjoyed this recipe. I used it as a filling for a gougere (kind of like a popover that goes around the edge of a casserole). I'd definitely make it again.flag if inappropriate
Made this with chicken thighs instead of rabbit (just can't do the rabbit thing), and added sliced black olives and a bay leaf -- it was lovely. Simple and delicious, I'll definitely make this again.flag if inappropriate
I'm always on the lookout for rabbit recipes and this one was very easy -- and made a nice change of pace from my usual winter stew repertoire. Served with polenta and baby brussel sprouts -- and everyone wanted seconds.flag if inappropriate

Rockfax DescriptionA classic Joe Brown jamming-crack. Steep, powerful and intimidating! Start by walking up the left-hand side of the crag until level with the base of the route. Traverse in along a terrace to a flat spot beneath the steep corner and crack. Leave the ledge via a boulder problem and climb the corner for a few metres until a hard move right gains the crack. Let the battle commence. © ROCKFAX

"This study was very exciting for us, in large part because you just don't get to see the demographic effects of dramatically changing a mating system within a single population -- in any organism," Wade said. "It's an added bonus that this change from polygamy to monogamy just happened to involve people who kept such thorough records of the marriages, births and deaths at that time."
Wade, who specializes in the evolutionary biology of mating systems, says much of his work has elucidated and expanded on the ideas of Angus Bateman. Bateman, a prolific theorist, was unable to empirically test all his theories about mating and mating fitness before he died in 1996. Last year Wade and Northern Arizona University biologist Stephen Shuster co-wrote a retrospective on a classic paper Bateman wrote for the journal Heredity in 1948. Wade and Shuster extolled Bateman's vision, in particular the way in which Bateman thought sexual selection should be quantified. Bateman's critics thought his reductions of biology were too simplistic, yet Wade says Bateman's simple formulas are often dead-on.
"Bateman's ideas still are very much alive, the present study included," Wade said. "It was also his idea that selection could be stronger on males than on females, that what can be an advantage to males can be a disadvantage to females of the same species. And the advantage isn't just in having more mates. You may simply produce more offspring, than the average, if you're a male successful in reproductive competition against other males."
Which isn't to say systems of polygamy in humans or elsewhere in nature are necessarily good for all the males involved. Indeed, Wade says, polygamy is a bad thing for most males of a species.
"When the ratio of sexes is about equal, for every male that has three mates, there must be two males that have none," Wade said. "If a male has even more mates, then th

Hi everyone. My ob told me I could take Unisom along with vitamin B for nausua and to help with sleep after 12 weeks but not sure how many Mgs of Unisom I can take. Anyone know? Thanks.
Unisom for sleep?
First baby! EDD 07-15-13
Comments (6)
You could ask a pharmacist. They are the most knowledgeable and will willingly answer your question over the phone.
I have been taking vitamin b and unisom for weeks now to help with nausea and vomiting. I take 1 vitamin b and 1/2 unisom pill (a whole pill is 25 mg) after I eat lunch (1 pm) and then I take another vitamin b and 1/2 unisom pill around 6-7 pm. My doctor said you are allowed to take them up to 3 times a day. It has helped with my nausea and vomiting. Although a 1/2 unisom pill does not make me sleepy, it is to help with the nausea. If you want it to help make you sleep, then you should probably take a whole one before bed. Many medications have different uses - although unisom is a sleep drug, it can help with nausea if used correctly.
Good luck!

How are you listening to the Voice Of your Customer? A survey finds that 52% of organizations use 3 to 4 methods to gather VOC data and 22% as many as 7 methods! Only 5% rely on one source of VOC. The most common VOC data sources (in order of use) were:
Performance bonuses have been around the homebuilding industry for a long time. Salespeople earn commissions and bonuses based upon their sales productivity, and Superintendents earn bonuses for their Quality, Budget and Schedule performance. For the most part, customer satisfaction bonuses were left out of the equation…until that is…a particular marketing company decided to venture into the home building industry with their version of "Customer Satisfaction" awards. Regardless of the accuracy or merits of that award program, it proved to be a performance bonus game change
Despite the current market and the recession these builders show how they have continued to improve, change and increase their bottom-line and create satisfied customers with high quality homes. There are the four winners of the National Housing Quality Award this year, with awards in the Gold, Silver and Bronze categories, a great way to celebrate NHQA still going strong in its 20th year! Charter Homes, Gold Wayne Homes, Silver DSLD Homes, Silver Vintage Homes, Bronze
This year marks the 19th edition of the National Housing Quality Awards, the industry's only recognition program dedicated to helping builders grow their businesses and become more profitable. During the past two decades, NHQ judges have evaluated and honored more than 100 builders and trade contractors for their quality management excellence. Of all the firms to win an NHQ Award over the years, only a handful have achieved every level of distinction (Gold, Silver, and Bronze), completing what the judges call the "quality journey."
On a construction site a worker was grumbling to himself as he worked. "How is it going?" I asked. "What?........oh…..ah fine…..well…..do you know on how many jobs they keep doing this the same stupid way? I keep fixing this damn thing every week.
A roof can represent 10-25% of the cost of a building, 90% of improper installation procedures are covered from view upon completion of work and defects are not identified until leaks or other problems occur at a later date, which brings us to the fact that roof failures feature high in construction litigation. Bottom-line doing the job right the first time is the way to go! The most common deficiencies found in metal roof inspection are: (1) Fastener back out (2) Panel damage (3) Leaks (4) Seam defects (5) Missing or damaged fasteners
If there's one common thread among the six builders featured in our article on fast-growing builders ("Big Gainers"), it's the absolute importance of keeping the core team intact during the downturn. When the housing market started to crash in 2006, builders understandably kicked into survival mode. Many chose to let their most experienced and talented (and costly) employees go as part of their operations trimming process.
Every so often, when a number of positive changes occur right on top of each other, it makes sense to communicate them directly to you, our readers. This month, I am pleased to highlight several significant changes and improvements to Professional Remodeler magazine and HousingZone.com.
Sometimes it feels as though buildings are being designed without consideration of those that will occupy them. Thought always needs to be given to how the environment will be used. For example while visiting a business recently and having time before a meeting started I realized that despite the foyer, long corridors and areas to congregate there was no seating available anywhere including any benches along the walls. There was also no WiFi available, there was also very poor signage for restrooms and no water fountains existed.
A recent survey conducted by Deloitte entitled 'Core Beliefs and Culture' showed that culture creates strong business performance, it also showed a key disconnect between leaders and employees. Both "executives 94% and employees 88% believe that a distinct workplace culture is important to business success and 83% of executives and 84% of employees ranked engaged and motivated employees as the top factor that substantially contributes to a company's success."
"Obsessed by a fairy tale, we spend our lives searching for a magic door and a lost kingdom of peace." - Eugene O'Neill Nothing brings up feelings of fairy tale romanticism about a home quite like a turret. With a soaring roofline and endless natural light, it is very easy to fall in love with a well done turret. In this plan the turret becomes a space within a space that is used for retreat. Let's take a closer look:
I have personally seen organizations that have used initiatives to drive service excellence and have created for example 98% customer satisfaction as a result. In each case it has been about creating a systematic approach.
$50k which was to be transferred from one business account to another was not actually completed. A client was given completely different instructions by 3 different representatives from the same office. A client was confidently informed, 'not a problem just call us when you are ready and we can make that happen easily'. When the client returned the representative realized in fact that they couldn't make the change at all.
Team sports analogies have long been used in home building for obvious reasons. They both have the common component of individual performances that roll up into team results. Home building is the ultimate team endeavor, made up of internal employees and external trade partners numbering into the thousands. Why is teamwork important in home building? The answer is potent – customers' teamwork ratings are highly correlated to customer referring activity and future referral sales!
This little plan has really been a high producer. It is simple to build, lean, and has great curb appeal. As a result this plan has sold very well for several builders.
While Quality tools and techniques have been around for a long time and proven their worth I still see and hear situations that amaze me. For example a trade embraced quality and created checklists, inspection points, tracked problems, eliminated root causes meaning that fewer defects and call backs were occurring. This resulted in cost savings and improved customer satisfaction for his business. With pride therefore he described his approach to a new contractor he was seeking work from.
I travel this country meeting with builders virtually every week and between my monthly Professional Builder article, my weekly blog on HouzingZone.com and our Lean Building Group on Linkedin.com, I hear from many more. As housing is picking up in most parts of the nation, I am beginning to hear a lot about labor shortages. Just last week I received a note from a builder lamenting how in central Florida there is a bidding war for framers and drywall contractors. I have also heard it coming out of Texas.
'Of course I do', or so you say! But do you, would you really? I have been shocked over the years at the reaction to those who approach managers, bosses, leaders and owners with insights to what is happening in an organization, presenting them with gold, telling them what is wrong, how it can be improved. In some cases these have been very significant issues, ethical, legal and financial, only to have been dismissed, not believed, told to stop doing what they are doing or worse that they are the problem. Do you listen? Have you listened?
Todd Hallett and I are running a LeanPlan Workout session this week in Tennessee with one of my favorite builders. In the years I have known them they have grown from #11 in their market to #2 last year and this year there's a good chance they will be #1. They are beating all the nationals. These guys truly "get it" and accomplished all this during the worst housing recession in history. As good as they are, they wanted to take it deeper, so this they engaged a total of 24 of their suppliers & trades to generate more than 300 ideas to improve plans, using our highly-structured process.

Of the HCC patients included in the analysis, 83% were Child-Pugh class A, 79% had underlying cirrhosis, and 88% had a good Eastern Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status. To measure the extent of HCC and liver function, researchers used the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) staging system; more than half of the patients were classified as advanced (BCLC C) and a quarter were intermediate (BCLC B) stage.
Results of the analysis showed that median overall survival with radioembolization was close to 13 months. Survival rates ranged depending upon BCLC class with those having less progressed disease and liver involvement (BCLC A) surviving 24 months, BCLC B at close to 17 months and BCLC C patients at 10 months. Researchers noted that the most significant factors affecting prognosis were ECOG performance status, tumor burden, coagulation test score (INR greater than 1.2), and disease outside the liver.
The team reported that the most common adverse events with radioembolization were fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Rates for all-cause mortality in this high-risk patient group were 0.6% and roughly 7% at 30 and 90 days, respectively. "Our findings show strong evidence of the survival benefit with radioembolization, even in patients with advanced disease who have few treatments options," concluded Dr. Sangro. "Further study of the procedure in patients with advanced disease is warranted."

Went once and tried on many amazing gowns, each one more beautiful than the last, but priced around $5000. Ouch. Then I received a message about their sample sale and went back again. OMG! Found many to choose from in the $1000 range, and fell in love with one that fit like a glove... for only $900! Amazing silk, horsehair hem, incredibly made, and what a deal! I felt like a princess on my wedding day and the best part is that I got a really great gown for a fraction of the cost.

I had visited clea colet bridal with my friend last spring and I loved their gowns. When I got engaged last summer in Europe I visited many upscale bridal salons in France and Italy but I did not see much that I liked .I continued my search upon returning to NY and still did not found my dream gown. But when I went back to Clea Colet I found few dresses that I loved .I did not know which one to pick .The bridal consultant worked with me and we narrowed it down to a dress that is appropriate for my figure and my wedding .Their couture workmanship and the fabrics they use ,easily stand out from their competitors, their embroidery is very delicate and the fit is awesome .The price for what they offer is very reasonable .

Goucher provides great learning opportunities in a great environment, and the college has a history of being a transformative place. But students, circumstances, and the value of a college education are changing. While there is more and more content freely available on the Internet, the importance of discernment, analysis, discovery, skepticism, and critical thinking is only increasing. Future graduates will need to be even more prepared for a life of continued learning. That is the primary job-and traditional strength-of a liberal arts education: We prepare the mind for the unknown.
Goucher College is now embarking on a path to rethink its unique version of a liberal arts education for the 21st century. Like other liberal arts colleges, we offer small classes, community engagement, study abroad, excellent faculty, a beautiful campus, and significant financial aid. The ability to be truly different and more innovative will matter more every day. What we are asking now is what can Goucher really do better than anyone else?
My job is largely to function as a "curator of risk." I don't teach the classes (actually, I will teach some) or balance the books. Other people keep the day-to-day operations running smoothly. The best I can do is to make sure we enroll promising minds, hire great people, and encourage everyone here to build something important. In this time of great challenge and opportunity in higher education, I ask everyone in the Goucher community to help create a culture that rewards innovation of all types.
I am really enjoying getting to know and work with everyone at this great institution. I look forward to learning and hearing from alumnae/i during my Presidential Listening Tour about how to make Goucher even better. And I look forward to talking with prospective students who want to discover their potential and become an active member of our diverse and involved student body.

Baguio to Vigan to Laoag, Oh My
Previous Entry
Next Entry
September 14th 2008
Published: September 23rd 2008
I am now going to write the one, and likely only, real travel blog I will ever produce for this site. I am breaking from my traditional style for a couple of reasons: because I am finding even government sponsored tourist information in the Philippines hard to find, incomplete or unreliable, and, consequently, because I had to rely so heavily on information from other travel blogs on this site while planning my vacation to Vigan.
My sister, Laura, decided to come from Canada to see me during this last leg of my internship in the Philippines. Her trip was scheduled ages ago for the end of August, beginning of September and I was left to plan a vacation at the height of the rainy season. My first though was Boracay, but Laura wanted to see where I live while she was here. And since she could only visit for 10 days there would be no time to do both Boracay and Baguio City. So I settled on breaking the trip up between Baguio and Vigan. Vigan seemed like an ideal pick: only 5 hours by bus from Baguio, a reputation for great restaurants, old churches and museums to keep us occupied if it rained, and close, tropical beaches if it didn't. Laura checked it out online and agreed. Vigan it was.
Laura arrived around midnight in Manila. And we settled into a nice hotel in Manila proper. There are a lot of hotels in the many city's that make up Metro Manila. But it is important to know what kind f an area you are choosing. I have lived here for a while, and have no problem spending the night in a hotel with a jeepney clogged highway on one side and a shanty town on the other. For new and short term foreign guests the intense poverty in Metro Manila might be very overwhelming. This should be taken into account when booking a place to stay.
The next day we took the bus from Manila to Baguio. We chose to bus instead of to fly because flights into the Cordillera Mountains are infamously unreliable. Any amount of rain might delay or even lead to the cancellation of the trip, which only runs 3 times a week. In the unpredictable rainy season weather, when a typhoon can hit Baguio in the middle of a Tuesday after a 30 degree morning, I decided not to risk it. We took the Victory Liner Delux bus from Cubao. Victory Liner is one of the most respected bus companies in the country, with drivers who make me feel safe, even on the winding mountain roads. The Delux bus runs overnight at 11:15pm and 12:15am and at 1:15pm, which is the trip we took. The Delux costs Php 710, which is about Php300 more then the regular Victory Liner trip, which leaves every hour. I always choose the Delux though, since it has bigger seats, an on-bus bathroom, movies (almost always in English), and a stewardess who provides passengers with cookies and a bottle of water at the beginning of the trip. Taking the bus also provides you with some wonderful views of rice fields, carabao, Mount Arayat (a picturesque dormant volcano), and towards the end of the trip, the corded mountains. If you are looking for a view of the regions rice or vegetable terraces, they are not on this road (it is too far south), but on a clear day you can see the South China Sea from the left-hand side seats.
In Baguio Laura and I stayed in the Hotel Vinez. The standard rooms are Php 1300 in the low season. The room had two nice single beds, a big bathroom and a tv with English cable. Rooms with an air-conditioner and windows (ours had one tiny slit of a window) cost more. But I have never seen Baguio get hot enough to require an air-conditioner and the street is too noisy to want a window anyway. The only problem with the room was the internal water heater, which only had 2 minute bursts of hot water. However, the service was good enough to make up for the cold water. I chose the Hotel Vinez because of its central local, at one corner of the city's main plaza, and because in the last 6 months I have frequently used their wireless internet for free. I felt like I owed them.
While we where in Baguio we ate some really wonderful food. Our choices were limited by Laura's distaste for rice, but as a result we had some surprisingly good western food. Here are the best places where we ate:
Yellow Cab Pizza (a franchise pizza place with really great but really expensive pizza,
which also serves pistachio ice cream for some reason. Yum.)
Oh My Goulay (Laura and I didn't have a chance to eat there, but did stop in to
check out it's local art displays. I hear great things about their vegetarian
food and their artistic/fantastic decor is a must see for Baguio visitors.)
The Flying Geeko (run by my favorite old ex-pat in Baguio this restaurants is hands
down the best western food in the city. They serve a sangria to die for
and the biggest piece of apple pie I have ever seen.)
50's Diner (which is exactly that, a 50's diner just outside the town center
with an interesting selection of Filipino and western food)
Cafe by the Ruins (This restaurant was built around the ruins of an old mansion
destroyed during Japanese bombing in WWII. The atmosphere is funky and
yet romantic. Though the restaurant claims to serve true Filipino food the
items on their menu are never things I have seen in real kitchens. However,
their funky and delicious dishes are all served with native ingredients, like
carabao milk and lots of yellow mangoes.
Baguio is also know for its Korean restaurants, because of the wave of Koreans who have immigrated to the city as students and business people. We didn't eat at any because Laura is not keen on Korean, but anyone who is visiting the city really should sit on a floor cushion and give this authentic Korean a try.
While in Baguio we also got the chance to do some of the tourist stuff that I don't have time for in my every day life. We visited a Butterfly Sanctuary just inside the gates of Camp John Hay. The entrance fee was Php40. We where there on a cloudy morning, which was unfortunate, because we were told that butterflies are more active in warmer weather. However, the older man who maintains the Sanctuary was extremely informative and only too happy to catch a few of the butterflies in order to put them on our clothing for photos. We spent a surprising amount of time in the Sanctuary, and I would say it was probably the most entertaining thing we did in Baguio. Some of the other things we did and saw where:
Mines View Park (this is just a look off point, it is not really a park. Although the
look out has a decent view of the Cordillleran mountains for those people
who are only going to visit Baguio and won't have the chance to go farther
into the mountains. Mines View also shares its parking lot with a convent
that produces regional edible goodies that make great snacks or
pasalubong - thing you take home from vacation to share. The money is put
into scholarships for local university students.)
The Mansion (this is the President's summer home in the Cordillera. You can only
go inside the gate, not up into the house, but it is very pretty. There
is also a great mall facing the Mansion which makes a good "I've been to
Baguio" picture.)
Asin (this is a hot spring right outside of the city. It costs about Php40 to take a
jeep each way. We spent an afternoon at the Coconut Grove Resort, which is
slightly farther down the road then the other resorts, but is worth the
distance, because there are fewer children and private jaccuzzis with
mountain views that you can rent for Php 250 an hour. The entrance fee for
the the Resort is Php 100 per adult.)
Burnham Park (this is the large park in the middle of the city. It is not particularly
scenic, but it's fun because you can rent swan shaped paddle boats and
cruise around the man made lake.)
When we traveled from Baguio City to Vigan I chose Partas Bus Liner. I consider Partas to be one of the most reliable bus companies in Luzon. The bus that travels this route is not direct, but it is air-conditioned and costs about Php 400 one way. There will be snack vendors getting on and off the bus during the 5 hour trip, but no real stops, so you should hit the washroom before you leave.
In Vigan, as a result of both personal needs and poor planning, Laura and I ended up staying in a different hotel almost every night. If you stay in a hotel in the Mestizo District then you will be in easy walking distance to almost everything of historical interest.
Aniceto Mansion (this Spanish colonial Mansion is lovely, but for Php 1400 a night
it was not what we were looking for. There is no air-conditioning in the
common areas, leaving most of the mansion unbearable hot. And the rooms
are pretty run down. Though the staff, all in adorable pink uniforms, were
really helpful.)
The Cordillera Inn (this was our favorite of all the three places we stayed. It is
clean and fresh, with a great combination of Cordilleran and Spanish decor
that I really appreciated. The room was clean and well kept. The bathroom
was particularly nice and the shower had lots of hot water. The staff were
also exceptional. We paid Php 1400 per night and probably would have paid
Grandpa's Inn (we ended up staying here because a pre-booked group of 200
university students, traveling overnight by bus from Manila, bumped us from
the Cordillera Inn. We paid Php 1300 for our room and found Grandpa's to
be clean and comfortable. Some of the rooms even have bed frames made
to look like Calasas. The cafe and restaurant attached to the Inn are
palatable, although better at breakfast and snacks then lunch or dinner.
The one real problem with Grandpa's Inn is that it is built at the end of a
street and so does not have a lot passing tricycle traffic. As a result some
tricycle drivers sit across from the hotel waiting to make guests their
customers. I found that these drivers were more likely to rip you off then
those caught at any regular street corner. There was also a man positioned
at the door while we were staying there who encourages guests to take
these tricycles. He is not a bellman, or even a hotel employee, but works
with these tricycle drivers. It is easier just to walk to the next block to catch
a normal tricycle, avoiding the entire situation.)
The town of Vigan is one of the best known tourist spots in Northern Luzon. But for a popular vacation spot I was surprised by how few good restaurants there were. If you like Filipino food you will have more luck, and should definitely try the local sausage. I also recommend that you try Basi, sugar cane wine, which is made allover Northern Luzon, but is commercially produced in Vigan. It tastes like sweet red wine mixed with brandy. If you are looking for western food in Vigan I would suggest that you try out:
Cafe Leona (this cafe was recommended by everyone we asked around Vigan, and
has a beautiful little patio out in the plaza at night. The inside decor is very
celtic pub, which I found really entertaining. The menu is huge and packed
full of various cultural favorites. I loved the salad, which comes with a great,
tangy homemade dressing, and the pizza, which they serve on the most
awesome pizza shaped plates, because it is thin crusted and full of real
Sitio Bar (their menu only has appetizers, but they are great appetizers. Their
alcohol selection though is monumentous. It was only the second bar in the
whole country where I have found a cosmo on their menu.)
Vigan is known for its calasas, a tiny horse-drawn carriage, drawn by a tiny horse. Calasas are mostly used now by tourists. Calasa drivers sit all over the city trying to intice you into their carriage. Calasa rides are Php 150 and hour. This is significantly more expensive then taking a tricycle. However, they are fun and it is a great way to see the main attractions. The Calasa route seems to be one that hits all of the tourist spots, where the driver will stop and offer to wait as you go in. This is of course one way that the drivers to make more money, but we decided that it was worth it. This was how we got to see Baluarte, a private zoo owned by a former governor and which seriously has camels, peacocks, a lion and about 7 tigers among other things. I actually got to pet a tiger during their animal attraction show, which was probably the most frightening and exhilarating moment of my life so far.The zoo is free. So is the Hidden Garden, a beautiful tropical garden on the outskirts of town that has a fabulous little canteen which sells fresh coconut juice and Basi amongst other things. Other places we visited we:
Syquia-Quirino House (a privately operated museum of former President Quirno
and his family. His wife was from Vigan and the museum is literally in her old
family home. The entrance fee is only Php20.)
Pot Factory (there are a few different pot factories in Vigan. The word factory is
misleading, these are more life craftsman shops. Laura and I went to a
shop with a manual pottery wheel and after the demonstration I was
allowed to make my own pot. They were willing to fire my pot and give it to
me, but firing takes a week - so if you have the time and want your own pot
go see the potters at the beginning of your vacation.)
Burgos Museum (this museum is dedicated to Bishop Burgos, who was a
pro-people Catholic Bishop from the final days of the Spanish colonial
period. Not being from the area we found the stuff about Burgos boring,
but they also have really interestnig displays of indigenous and colonial
artifacts. The museum does close at 4pm though.)
Plaza Salcedo (this plaza was a must see for me because it is where Gabriela
Silang was executed. I was disappointed to discover that there is no
monument to her in the plaza. However, there are two amazing things to be
found there: a huge raised map of the Philippines with really campy
dioramas of the country's main historical sights, and a large display of
miniturized world monuments. Where can you find the Sphynx and the CN
Tower both? Vigan apparently.)
Pug-os Beach Resort (you take a mini-bus out of Vigan in the direction of Laoag to
get to this resort. Just tell the conductor that you are going to Pug-os and
he will tell you when to get off. The trip costs about Php 40 one way and
takes about an hour. The resort is worth the distance though. The sand is
mocha colored and the sea is a wonderful two-tone blue. We watched local
fisherman pulling in nets full of tiny shrimp from the warm shade of the
resort's beach front. The restaurant at the resort is not great though, and
there are no general stores close, so pack some food before you go.)
Laura and I chose to fly out of Northern Luzon instead of taking the bus. The bus ride from Vigan to Manila is about 14 hours long, while the flight is only an hour. The closest airport is in Laoag, an hour and a half away from Vigan. There are two flights a day from Laoag to Manila, a PhilAir flight around 11am and Cebu Pacific flight around 8pm. We stay in VIgan our last night and travel to Laoag the day of our flight. This was a bad idea. Our intention was to give ourselves 3 hours to get the short distance via Partas Bus Liner. Like I said earlier, Partas is normally very reliable. However, for us the bus was late and then broke down, which resulted in us missing out PhilAir flight and having to wait all day for the Cebu Pacific plane. I would suggest anyone flying should stay in Laoag the night before their flight, just in case. One other important fact to know if flying is that there is a PhilAir ticket booth at the airport, but no Cebu Pacific ticket vendor. You have to buy all Cebu Pacific tickets from the travel agents inside the town.
Hope this is helpful. Good luck and enjoy your trip to Northern Luuzon!

Compound Bows Hunting for sale in Australia
These modern, mechanical bows are fast becoming one of the most popular types of hunting bow in Australia. A modern instrument that utilizes an advanced levering system of cables and pulleys, these devices are generally shorter and faster than other forms used for target shooting. The bow function is similar to that of a recurve bow; however, this is a much more complex and modern instrument.
There are a number of benefits to using a compound bow:
- They are generally faster, quieter and lighter than many other forms
- The cam system allows for greater control over the acceleration of the arrow
- Enjoy a far greater resistance to changes in temperature and humidity and increased accuracy
- The horizontal limb configuration functions to reduce the vibration and recoil felt by the shooter when an arrow is released
- Because of their overall modern geometry, CHBs are more energy efficient than other models
