STAUNTON - The editors of Mary Baldwin College's newspaper made official the decision to end its monthly print edition with the launch of its independent website this week.
Their goal is to expand readership with more timely online updates and to provide a more convenient way for students to read the paper, says Shannon Harris, co-editor of Campus Comments. The move to a digital-only publication will save the college's Student Activities Fund $1,200 to $3,200 a year in printing costs, said Harris, a senior who has worked at the paper for nearly four years.

Russia reveals own Syria aid draft resolutionComment on this story
Moscow - Russia has presented draft UN Security Council resolutions on humanitarian aid access and the fight against "terrorism" in Syria, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Thursday.
Moscow's calls for a resolution condemning acts of "terrorism" are in tune with rhetoric from Damascus, which uses the term to describe all those fighting to oust President Bashar al-Assad.
"Terrorism is certainly no less acute a problem (than the humanitarian crisis)," Lavrov told a news conference after talks with his Egyptian counterpart, saying it causes suffering among Syrians and in neighbouring countries.
Moscow earlier this week made clear it would reject a Western-Arab draft resolution on humanitarian aid access in Syria in its existing form, saying it was biased against the government of Assad.
Lavrov said Russia's own draft on aid access set out "our vision of the role the Security Council can play if we want to foster a solution to the problems and not antagonise one side or the other".
Russia is a long-standing arms supplier to Syria and has been Assad's most powerful international protector during the three-year-old civil conflict, joining China in blocking three Western-backed resolutions aimed to put pressure on Damascus.

Drill Happy
Belli, Brita, E Magazine
There are many reasons why you wouldn't want companies extracting natural gas by hydraulic fracturing (or "fracking") near your home. As Pennsylvania residents unlucky enough to have drilling operations open shop next door so poignantly describe in this issue, it means living with constant, sleep-disrupting noise and breathing noxious fumes thanks to the massive diesel trucks that accompany the operations. But what's going on beneath the surface is even more unsettling. Hydraulic fracturing involves millions of gallons of water being injected at high pressure, along with a mixture of thousands of chemicals, into rock shale formations to get at the gas. This poses a grave worry to drinking water supplies (there are 3,751 such horizontal wells in Pennsylvania alone), made worse by the fact that gas companies undertaking such fracking are exempt from most of the major environmental laws that might protect consumers, including the Clean Water Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act.
It hasn't been easy to prove a definite fracking-to-contaminated-water link, in part because many homeowners who experienced problems made non-disclosure settlements with gas companies. In New York, where fracking is under consideration and the subject of intense controversy, there are efforts to provide a buffer zone to protect watersheds, parks and other sensitive areas if fracking is allowed. …

Ford, GM, Mazda plan iPod connectivity
updated 08:50 am EDT, Thu August 3, 2006
Ford, GM, Mazda, Apple
Apple has announced that it has teamed up with Ford, General Motors, and Mazda to bring 'seamless' iPod integration into the majority of their cars, reports Leftlane News. Apple says that more than 70 percent of 2007-model year automobiles sold in the US will offer iPod integration to buyers. Greg Joswiak, Apple's vice president of Worldwide iPod Product Marketing stated that he was delighted with this deal and that, "Now more than 70 percent of 2007-model year automobiles in the US will offer iPod integration, with General Motors alone making it available on all 56 of its models, representing millions of cars and trucks." Ford and GM will boast iPod connectivity on the majority of their lines in the United States 2007 model year vehicles, while Mazda will bring iPod connectivity to all their 2007 vehicles across the globe. The systems will offer iPod charging, improved sound quality, and convenient iPod storage. iPod integration will give the driver full control over the iPod through the stereo controls included with the car.

Inclusive Education
Inclusion is a movement that seeks to transform education systems to respond to diversity in schools. It is critical to make the right to education with equal opportunities effective, and to understand its relation to the access, retention, participation and achievement of all students, with special emphasis on those who for whichever reasons are excluded or at risk of being marginalized.
Advancing in the development of inclusive education systems and schools is the responsibility of all. Therefore, OREALC/UNESCO Santiago, along with other education stakeholders in the region, shares technical advice, promotes inclusive policies and practices, the development and dissemination of publications, performs research and studies in the area and assessments, teacher training and designs tools to gather qualitative and quantitative information on the status of inclusive education in the region.
These actions favor changes in the perceptions, attitudes and practices of the various actors involved in education, contributing to the elimination of barriers to learning, student participation, and especially developing an education agenda that is truly inclusive.

It has been a while since we last saw a Mushkin product here at Hardware Canucks but today they return with a bang. Their new Ascent 2x2GB PC3-12800 DDR3 kit has graced our test bench and we put it through its paces and then some. Let's check out how this new kit performs!
DDR3 has recently begun dropping in price and is looking to make its debut into consumers' everyday component buying mentality. 2x 2GB kits are becoming more and more affordable as well and today we will be looking at one such product: G.Skill's PI 2x 2GB PC3-12800 kit.
Corsair has long been known for producing some high-end memory kits and their Dominator line is as good as it gets. Today we take a look at the Dominator DDR3 1800Mhz kit which (while expensive) promises uncompromising performance for consumers who look for the best.
Patriot isn't one of the best-known memory manufacturers around but they have released one of the highest-rated DDR3 kits on the market with their PC3-15000 kit. They have even equipped this kit with their new Viper Fin heat sinks which are one of the more unique cooling solutions we have seen. Can this kit live [...]
G.Skill is not a name we hear much here in Canada but what we do hear of them speaks of high-performance memory which is second to none. In this review we will be looking at their DDR3 PC3-12800 2x1GB kit which looks to offer tons of overclocking headroom. Read on to find how far we [...]
As DDR3 falls in price, speeds have been increasing at and insane rate. In this review we take a long hard look at Super Talent's PC3-14400 Project X kit and see if it has the potential to back up its stratoshperic price.
We have high hopes for the future of OCZ considering all of their recent purchases but in this review we will be reviewing something from the roots of OCZ's heritage: performance memory. DDR3 memory has only begun to make its appearance in the overclocking scene but this kit promises to meet every one of our [...]
Are you extreme? Do you want to have the ability to smash world records? Look no further; Mushkin has introduced its new swift kit of memory which is reserved for the most serious of overclockers.
Hardware fanatics are seeking top-performing memory, but are held back by a budget. OCZ once again hopes that they have the answer to this problem They say they focus on what is best for consumers, rather than drawing their attention to profits so we will have to see is this memory performs as well as [...]
In this review, we will be comparing the performance of a 2X1GB kit of Crucial Ballistix DDR2 1000 with EPP to a 2X1GB kit of Buffalo Firestix DDR2 800. Despite their different frequency ratings, these two kits both contain Micron D9GMH memory chips and should be expected to perform somewhat similarly.

Yamim 2015 - Journey of a People
Click buttons to learn more about each program.
Yom HaShoah Photos Yom HaZikaron Photos Yom HaAtzmaut Photos
The eight-day journey from Yom HaShoah to Yom HaZikaron to Yom HaAtzmaut reflects the great journey of the Jewish people – from winter to spring's renewal, from slavery to freedom, from victimization to sovereignty.
Each holiday is individually significant, but together they guide us in remembering 2,000 years of exile and celebrating our freedom and sovereignty.
As Jews, we are survivors. At Yom HaShoah and Yom HaZikaron, we mourn those who died, and we give renewed respect to those who survived. We do not choose the path of bitterness and despair. Rather, we recommit ourselves to life.
This is the real meaning of the Yamim. They define us as a people who crossed the desert on a journey to freedom. They command us to embrace life individually and collectively. This is Israel. This is the legacy of our past and the challenge of our future.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|Picture of the day
The "Darnley portrait", the official portrait of Elizabeth I of England, likely painted from life ca. 1575–76. This portrait is the source of a face pattern which would be used and reused for authorized portraits of Elizabeth into the 1590s, preserving the impression of ageless beauty. It features a crown and sceptre on a table beside the queen, and was the first appearance of these symbols of sovereignty separately used as props (rather than worn and carried) in Tudor portraiture, a theme that would be expanded in later portraits.

My only claim to celebrity is the one of Darren Pelio doing a reverse gut lever . We are from the same NH town . One of the nicest guys you could ever meet and although a few years my junior he wound up being one of my heros when he started beating people like Dennis McCoy back in the AFA days .
I'll dig up some more , but hope the over 35 crowd can share some history with the new bunch of heros we see today !

Yes love the game !
No use. I would post the release with psn links if usable and separate fix.
This game is made out of large encrypted edats which needed decryption. So repack was necessary. No other way. Filehoster links I posted are pretty fast so use them. You have mirror links as well.
Happy playing..... also I can't remember who created the fis, so best say thanks to the scene.

text: This is something I've always asked myself: why do we find our own natural scent as a species so repulsive? I mean, think of all the completely unnatural hygienic routines we have to undergo each and every day just to not offend other people with our various odors. It seems like there is a logic to why things usually smell "bad": - a rotten apple smells bad to us, because it would cause us to be ill, so finding that apple's smell repulsive is a helpful trait we've evolved - poo smells bad, because it also poses various health risks, and it's helpful to feel the need to stay as far away from it as possible (flies have evolved to find that same smell attractive) So, I can understand why the smell of extreme filth on a human would be unattractive: rotten teeth, extreme body odor, etc. would all indicate poor health (possible infection, disease, or unwanted traits for offspring); but it seems to me we have evolved to be irrationally sensitive to bodily odors— For example, if I were to meet a girl that just went a week without showering and brushing her teeth, even though there is nothing technically wrong with her and logically I should find her just as appealing (ie: neglecting one's hygiene for a few days is not likely to pose a health threat... hell, even doing so for a month wouldn't; we've survived as a species for thousands of years of not showering and brushing our teeth every day*), I would still find her completely unattractive, even repulsive; even if she was incredibly attractive physically, my repulsion to the odor of someone who has neglected their hygiene for just a week (ie: the natural odor of a member of my own species) would overpower any other attractive qualities she may have. I'm not even sure if this qualifies as a question. Maybe it's just a general observation. * did people in the middle ages open-mouth kiss? because they never brushed their teeth then. gross.

LAS CRUCES >> Pros and cons, support and opposition, all were heard at Tuesday's Sunland Park City Council meeting regarding the proposed annexation of Santa Teresa Country Club.
There was no decision whether to proceed with the proposal, only an agreement for more discussion.
"It will be continued until the next meeting," said Vernon Wilson, city manager. "Again, what is before the council is a resolution that would authorize the mayor and City Council to establish a dialogue, enter into negotiations, with Santa Teresa residents and homeowners associations about the possibility of annexation. Nothing officials has been decided yet."
Mayor Javier Perea said city officials have been contacted by representatives of some Santa Teresa Country Club homeowners associations who are exploring the possibility of seeking annexation.
"They have concerns about some of the roads and infrastructure in their neighborhoods that has continued to grow old and degrade," Perea said. "Those have been issues in that area for years."
Wilson said there were seven Santa Teresa residents who voiced their opinions Tuesday.
"One was very much opposed, some were in favor of it," Wilson said. "Obviously, opinions about it were very much divided."
Perea said whether or not city officials decide to go forward with annexation, now is a good time for the council to begin talks about the city's future plans for growth.
"Clearly, we're in an exploratory position right now," Perea said. "Will it benefit the city in the short term and the long term. We need to expand the vision of where the city grows into the future."
Perea added there are "a lot of things involved" that Sunland Park officials have to consider before any final decisions on annexation are made.
Wilson said there are three annexation options officials could consider. One would be through condemnation; a second would be through compromise, where a panel including city representatives and affected residents interested in seeking annexation would form a boundary commission to mutually work out details for a potential annexation; and a third would be a petition submitted to the city by a majority of residents in a particular area seeking annexation into Sunland Park.
"Ideally, the latter option would be the best for all," Wilson said. "There would be less acrimony, and that's what we're hoping for."
Wilson added Sunland Park officials have no annexation plans through condemnation, or otherwise forcibly taking an area.
The council will again discuss the issue at a Sept. 9 meeting at Sunland Park City Hall, 1000 McNutt Road.

What a weird week it has been. I found out on Sunday that my brother has a secret child. Not with some random one night stand... No, with his girlfriend whom he has been with for years, lives with, and already has a 3 year old with. They live in my dad's house (he doesn't live there... long story). The girl was born in July, and even though we have seen them (not both of them at the same time) several times since, they have not felt the need to tell us about her. It came to our knowledge when my dad was serving an evicition notice (once again, long story) and my brother said he couldn't move out because of a new baby. My dad thought he was bluffing. He wasn't. Plus, my mom knew for 2 weeks before she told me. My brother has a bad relationship with my dad, but there are no problems with the rest of the family.
Fast forward to tonight... I am on the phone with my mom talking about it. The child's name is Elizabeth Grace. The Grace is after my grandma, and the Elizabeth is after me. Only problem there is.... my name isn't Elizabeth! My middle name is Eleanor! My brother has no idea what my name is. We are 18 months apart, and my grandma has ALWAYS called me by my first and middle name. Actually, she has a nickname a mile long, but my full name is in it.
SMH... My family is WEIRD!!!!!

DAYTON — Monteillet Fromagerie's legal battle with Columbia County is poised to continue after the Planning Commission voted against recommending the cheesemaker's proposed zoning amendment to the County Commission.
Once planners complete written facts and findings, expected by the end of the week, county commissioners will consider the amendment at a future meeting.
The Planning Commission spent about 20 minutes Monday discussing the amendment, which would allow on-site sales of agricultural products as a conditional use in the county's AR-1 zone, where Joan and Pierre-Louis Monteillet live, raise goats and sheep, and make and sell cheese.
Fred Clark, Ron Groom and Swan Eaton voted against recommending the amendment, and Jason Towery and Jay Ball voted for recommendation. Commissioner Bryan Martin was absent.
Planning commissioners who voted against recommendation raised concerns that the amendment, as worded, would mean on-site sale of any agricultural product could be allowed in the zone.
"I am not opposed to a farmer selling his goods at his place," Clark said, while explaining why he felt the amendment text was too broad.
Groom also expressed concerns that the proposed wording would have allowed marijuana growers to sell their product on-site.
Ball, however, said the amendment allowed sales as conditional uses only, which would still give the county the opportunity to deny a permit for an individual business seeking to do on-site sales.
Ball and Towery also cited the overwhelming public testimony in favor of the amendment at the Commission's June 9 hearing, where 28 people spoke or wrote letters in favor of the amendment and no one spoke in opposition.
Groom countered that many of those testifying were from outside Columbia County.
"About 95 percent of those were from Walla Walla County. We didn't really have much of a turnout from Columbia County," said Groom.
Of the speakers and letters entered into the record, at least 16 listed an address in Waitsburg or Walla Walla, while 10 lived in the Dayton area.
Clark also said he felt the zoning would conflict with the county's comprehensive plan, which says that encroachment by other uses should be discouraged in areas designated for residential development.
Ball said he initially though that too, but felt the AR-1 zone is meant to be agricultural, not strictly residential.
The Monteillets' attorney, Mike Hubbard, said he was baffled by Planning Commission's decision.
"They don't seem to appreciate what conditional use means," he said.
The Monteillets did not attend Monday's meeting because they were "busy making cheese," Hubbard said.

These head-in-the-sand, NIMBY Columbia County Planning Commissioners who voted this down should be embarrassed and ashamed for trying to put these incredibly hard-working people out of business. The stupidity of the argument that somehow this amendment would allow a pot grower to open up a roadside stand is beneath contempt. Pathetic!
chicoli 1 year, 5 months ago
Paul, you're right on the dynamics driving this issue into a negative outcome for everyone. The appearance of detracting one element and favoring others is a bad prestige and legacy for the Planning Commissioners. The message we should be getting from such public organization is that of benevolence and proactive cooperation to facilitate the entrepreneur spirit in the county. Problems with the water? Let's help you. Problems with the zoning? Let's help you with that one too. Etcetera, etcetera! By the way, who is the leader? Let's vote him out?
skylinefluid 1 year, 5 months ago
I spoke with Commissioner Reeves this morning and he implied that the WWUB isn't giving us all the facts. I have the impression that he feels the WWUB is slighting the facts/article toward the Monteillets. When I asked for specifics he was not forthcoming. Perhaps you, as a reporter, can convince him to be more open. We, the public, should certainly have all the facts, don't you think?
rachelalexander 1 year, 5 months ago
Hi Jean,
Thanks for your comment. I spoke to Commissioner Reeves this afternoon, and his comment referred to the scope of the Planning Commission's authority versus the authority of the commissioners.
Up to this point, the conflict between planning and the Monteillets has dealt strictly with zoning relating to on-site farm product sales and wine tasting. However, he said the county is currently working to resolve several other issues with the Monteillet property, such as getting health department approval for their water source.
These issues have come up in county commissioner meetings previously, but as they were outside the scope of the Planning Commission's zoning hearing, I haven't included them in my articles to avoid confusion. Because the zoning issue has moved on to the county commissioners, Commissioner Reeves said it's likely some of these other issues will become part of the discussion. I have yet to speak with the Monteillets or their attorney about the specifics of any other county concerns because so far, they've been outside the scope of my reporting, but I have plans to do that this week as well.
I hope that answers your question, and thank you for commenting.
skylinefluid 1 year, 5 months ago
Yes, it does answer my questions. I don't see why the water source issue has anything to do with the zoning decision it shouldn't even enter in the discussion about the zoning.
One other thing I'd like to point out is people can have an address in another county and still live in Columbia County. For example, there are several residences that have Waitsburg (Walla Walla County) addresses, but are located in Columbia County.
If I had known there was going to be such an emphasis put on residences of the people attending the meeting I certainly would have attended. I really thought it was a formality and would pass easily.

So surprised! This is the ONLY serum I've ever recommended. I have oily acne prone skin so they all break me out. Except this one which really truly made my pores so much smaller in just days. Also it has evened out some red spots I had from healed bumps. My skin looks amazing! Like no foundation needed amazing.

This burned me very badly. I tried it at macys and within seconds needed to run to find a baby wipe to wash my face. Then I headed to the bathroom to splash water on my face. It was still burning into the evening. I had to moisturize with Vaseline at night for 2 days... All that for a product that spent 20 seconds on my skin.
For science I had a sephora sample and put a tiny bit on my forehead to gage a reaction. Again BURNING

LOVE this serum! Didn't think I would ..... But I do. I have been using Lancome's Genifique Advanced Concentrate for several months and it has done wonders for my skin - my skin is more luminous and even toned, and age spots/acne marks faded significantly. Genifique has made such a HUGE improvement in my skin tone, but I needed something to address my skin texture. I have large pores (oily skin), fine lines (42 years old) and overall uneven skin texture (too many years of harsh acne products, etc...). A Lancome Rep put a deluxe sample of Visionnaire in my bag 2 weeks ago, and so I figured I would try it out.
I apply Genifique first (all over, even around eyes), then Visionnaire (also all over, even around eyes), then eye cream. I have oily skin so I don't use another moisturizer on top ... The 2 serums are enough moisture for me. I did this twice a day, morning and night immediately after cleansing for the last 2 weeks. And holy moly! The difference in my skin is amazing! In 2 weeks my pores are so much smaller and more refined, my fine lines are diminished (especially the tiny fine lines under my eyes), and my unevenly textured skin has become smooth as a baby's bottom! Honestly, between the Genifique and the Visionnaire, my skin looks amazing! I am sooooo pleased with this combo and will continue using both!
In fact, I went back to the Lancome counter today and purchased the largest size Visionnaire they had. The Rep gushed about how great it is .... and I have to agree!
Granted, everyone's skin is different, and what works for one person may not work for another, but my advice to anyone considering Visionnaire would be ..... Go get a sample of Visionnaire and test it out to see how you like it. Ask for a deluxe size sample in the little jar (will last a week or two depending how much you use), not the sample packet (like 2 days worth), that way you can try it before you buy it, because it is expensive. I love it!!! :)

I have such mixed feelings about this serum. I love it because for me if I get a spot and pop it and I put this serum on it. The zit I kid you not by morning is flat! Whatever that ingredient is at 34 years of age it seems to work for my skin. The price is what I cannot justify especially when there are dupes like L'Oreal who owns Lancome. There new Age Perfect has a smaller amount of the LR2412. It's not 4% but it does have it so, if this works for your skin there are alternatives. I got a deluxe sample and am milking it for all it's worth. Using it only as a spot treatment to save it. I see samples online for like 5$ or I did find the 1ounce for 60 something but I just cannot justify purchasing it.
It does work for me. So I have to give it a good review because it has worked when none of the products in my skincare arsenal would. Especially the hormonal zits which this seems to work very well on. In my case its like a love/hate relationship because there are dupes. For me though they have been hard to find. I'm going to try the L'Oreal if it works sweet if not I'll break down and get another deluxe sample since when I'm in a skin crisis I cannot go without this! If you have the cash I still say try a sample. If you have hormonal skin this just might work for you.

First of all ... yes, i am 22 and i am aware that i do not need wrinkle correction creams or any other products for that matter.
I got this because i initially thought it would kill or at least help make my expression lines not so proeminent and also help my very dry skin be more elastic.
I have to admit i do not use it on a regular basis, i usually put it on like 3 days a week on clean skin before i go to sleep.
Texture is soft and a bit liquidy, it is not a dense cream, it absorbs almost instantly and it leaves the skin soft & hydrated.
It has a scent to it, its not anything strong or overbearing but it is there.
How it works? It works perfectly to calm dry skin and to give it a natural radiance and elasticity but my fine lines are still there, i feel they did get better but still there and well i have been using this for over 6 month, now it doesnt really bother me personally because again, i am 22 ... i do not know how it will work for a lady over 40 that being said but i am very satisfied with it for making my dry skin elastic, recharged and happy. Dry skin can really be a pain sometimes and this has helped a lot.
Now i know there are a lot of products specially made just for dry skin but believe me i have tried them and this is by far the best thing. This, coconut oil and marigold cream bring my skin to life :) ... of course Visionaire is ten times the price of those last 2 but its easy to use and does wonders, at least it does for me.
Yes i will repurchace.

I got a sample of this and tried it on half of one of my forehead lines for several weeks (gotta be scientific about this before plunking down such a huge chunk of change). Speaking of change... there was none. No noticeable difference after several weeks of daily use.

Enjoyed the free samples I received with my many gifts with purchase. Was tossing around the idea of Botox or some sort of filler when I turned 43 a few weeks ago. Opted to get a full size bottle and splurge on this item before going the more expensive painful route. I've been using it for over a 6 months now and noticed a real improvement in my skin pores, more luminous, it even improved or smoothed out the scrinkly skin under my eyes. Leaves a nice silky feeling after if soaks into your skin. Soaks in really fast too. I sometimes just wear it alone on my skin it makes my skin look that great. I regularly use this with my Lancôme high resolution moisturizer. Visionnaire even great to use around your eyes and in crease brow bone. The bottle is very nice too. A little goes a long way.

I won't be buying Visionnaire again. Still waiting to find a serum which I can actually see a difference with. The price of the serum is outlandish, but I thought that if it worked and I was happier with my skin after it, it might just be worth it. Had a sample first, the tube lasted maybe 5 days which wasn't exactly long enough to notice a real change, so I bought the bottle. It lasted a month, I got two more samples of it when I bought it and those lasted me around 2 weeks, so all in all I had it for 6 weeks. Saw no difference. Woke up with the same complexion each morning. May as well have been putting on water! it's quite sticky on the skin as well and made my face feel a bit tight for the first while after application, and it smells like chemicals. I dunno, for me it just doesn't cut it. For the price it needs to do amazing things and it just didn't. Much prefer Clarins double serum, it's pricey too but it's fresher, not sticky and smells more natural.

I received a HEFTY bag of samples from my counter girl and among them were 4 samples of this product. This was applied to my face during a "makeover" and I loved the fragrance! I did feel a slight tingling but nothing severe. After using this product for 3 days at home, I'm no longer a fan. My skin has started to break out like a pubescent girl in high school. I'm not talking a mild break out, dolls. I'm talking legit painful mountains on my face!!! Also, I have been feeling a burning sensation that increases with each use. Tonight is my very last use! It's a shame since this product has done wonders for my girl friends.

Key government officials and industry lobbyists are about to meet in secret in Salt Lake City, Utah, to hash out an Internet censorship plan that would make it possible for entire websites and families to be kicked off the Internet.
This plan is part of an international agreement called the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) that is being crafted in secret. Over 120,000 people have called on the heads of state of the twelve powerful countries to "Say No to Internet Censorship" in the TPP.

Mancora Beach
Writing you from the last left of our trip and the third installment of our series 'Engagement Honeymoon in Peru', this installment is called 'Mancora Beach Getaway' .
After a stopover in the not-so-pleasant Machala, we continued on back over the border into Peru - and it might sound like sarcasm but I swear its not - I had missed Peru. My time in Ecuador was marred with parasites and I know it was too rushed to make a proper judgement, so I will make an improper judgement: I like Peru much more than Ecuador. Other than being a little pricey, Ecuador came off as very American-wanna-be (tons of 'American Clothing' stores, using US currency, etc) and Peru has an undeniable character that her Ecuadorian brother has lost is his search for the American dream. The way the combi operators scream their destination in a specific sign-song tone that is unique to each location just warms my heart and probably always will.
We continued south to Mancora - a well known beach town and vacation spot for Peruvians in the summer, which made us hesitant but we thought it would be worth checking out during the winter off season.
Naif beach hideaway
We got off the combi at a random spot, wandered toward the beach and found outselves knocking on the gates of our next vacation hideaway spot. 'Naif' is one of the most beautiful places we have been and we made it our home for as long as our gracious host would allow us to stay on our much bargained low price (that is, until the holiday five days later when she knew she could get a higher price).
Our room with private bath was on the second floor with a narrow but very real view of the ocean and overlooking the naif area, which included a hammock area, music listening living room corner and an open-air, sand-floor kitchen/dining room. We were one block from the beach and another block from the main concentrations of restaurants, internet cafes and craft vendors. We spent the next four days going to the beach to read, swim, crochet and make sand sculptures (can you guess which one of us did which of the last two?), reading, and searching out the vegi options or making our own food. Mancora is a really cool little town that boasts its share of juggling beach hippies, surfer
Naif beach kitchen
dudes and high end tourists but no one has any problems getting along - whether this is due to herbal influences or the calming effects of the ocean, I can't be sure.
The day before we had to leave Naif, we wandered the town for a place to stay aftward - focusing on a place with camping options because they are cheaper and tents are fun. We found an out-of-the-way place that offered us a very good deal for a tent space and access to a bathroom, shower and kitchen. The next day we packed our things, sad to leave Naif, but excited to camp. Our sunburns (did I say sunburn? I meant nice, even tan) made it hard to carry packs so we hired a mototaxi to help more our stuff to the campgrounds. We set up the tent and I wandered over to put our food in the kitchen.... only to discover the kitchen was a room, a table, a nonfunctioning sink and a construction zone. I asked for the kitchen, in case I am in the wrong place and someone tells me 'two hours more, then it will be ready' and then he looked at the
Naif kitchen
yogurt in my hand and said 'there is no refridgerator'. I put the bags down and went to use the bathroom to find a person building it, he said 'just a minute, soon it will be ready'. Our red flags were up but we had already set up camp and, since it was a holiday weekend, finding last minute accomdations would be hard. We decided to look for another place to reserve for the next night and find ways to entertain outselves indoors away from the sun for a day. We ended up with a reservation at an undecorated but nice place in a very central location. We went back to the tent to pick up some things and a woman we hadn´t seen before comes over to ask us for payment, which would have been 20 Soles (less than $7). I calmly explained (all in spanish) that we had be promised a bathroom and kitchen for that price and there was neither, so we would not pay 20. We had an exchange but it was mostly calm - she was angry mostly at her husband for making this deal and promising what they couldn't offer. We offered her 10
Naif hammock carosel
Soles and she didn't like it but she agreed to take it, because I wasn't offering anything more and she knew they were in the wrong. Afterwards we did some shopping, some internetting, lots of eating and ended up in the main square watching some hippies juggle before walking back to our tent for the night.
The next morning we moved our stuff to the new place in between sitting in the sun and surfing... well, trying to surf. I went back to Naif and rented a surfboard they had for a cheap price. I have never actually surfed before but I have boogy boarded like its nobody´s business and I wanted to try it. I took out a longboard, which was really fun because it makes riding the waves a whole lot easier - I actually caught a few, wiped out a few times and spent lots of time floating on the ocean. I hadn´t yet tried standing, I was just getting a feel for catching the waves - when one of the owners of Naif waves me down and tells me that they forgot that the board was already promised to someone, who teaches classes with it.
The bearded dragon that lived outside our window
So they gave me a much smaller board with more fins and promised it was easier. It wasn´t really easier but I gave it a try anyway - standing up would be much harder because the smaller board just sinks unlike the long board. After a while I decided to return the board and come back the next day for the longboard. Cynthia (the owner of Naif) felt bad and didn´t charge me anything for the rental - which was super nice of her.
I should include how we got lunch because it was a great moment. We were sitting on the beach thinking about lunch and a woman walked up to us holding a huge wicker basket, with a sign on it. The signed listed 6 items that she was selling, which included no less than 4 vegetarian options - unheard of in Peru. I had the cheese, tomato and basil sandwich, sara had the spinach and cheese pastry and we both shared chocolate bread. Yes, chocolate bread on the beach - without getting up from the beach. And all three items for 10 soles, which is rougly $3. It was an incredible lunch and yet another reason
Sun bathin' dragon
why we love Mancora.
The rest of those days blur together - we ended up decided to try to get a market on the way back south to Lima, so we could finish up the rest of our gift lists (don´t get too excited - gifts for ourselves, mostly). So we only stay on night at the new place, every though we liked it, and boarded a noon bus to Piura, a big city 4 hours south of Mancora. We said goodbye the beaches, the restaurants, the craft stands, the juggling hippies, book exchanges, awesome shells and Naif - and started the last journey of our trip.
Visiting the market, which was just outside of Piura and on Saturday mornings, was a bit of logistical challenge because the ride to Lima was 15 hours and we needed to get there with enough time to get to the airport and catch our flight - not to mention leave time for the bus to breakdown, as this happens in Peru. We got lucky and found a Flores bus (the company that broke down last time) that would leave Piura at 3pm on Saturday (giving usenough time to shop) and then
Bearded dragon chilling
arrive in Lima at 6am (or, if it broke down for 3 hours, at 9am) and we still make the airport by 10am for our 2pm flight. We booked the bus tickets for the next day, found a hostel and went to see what Piura had to offer. Which, incidentally, wasn´t much - we found internet, a chinese food place for dinner and I decided to get a haircut. Don't worry, my 2 month beard is still very much intact but I needed a haircut and I knew it would be a lot more in the US. The haircut was quick, very good - though it makes my beard look even longer - and cheap. How cheap? 7 soles - about $2.
The next day we woke up early, found breakfast and took a taxi to Catacaos to see the craft market that lonely planet calls 'northern peru´s best market' (thats from memory - I actually lost the lonely planet about a week ago, oops). Anyway, either my memory is wrong or lonely planet is - the market was okay but far from the best we've seen and calling it the best of northern peru would certainly be an
Peruvian Mermaid
insult to the region. We found some crafts but the market was small and most booths had more or less the same thing. After wandering around the same street a few times, we decided to head back to Piura and relax. And this is how I ended up with enough time to write this blog post.
Now we board the overnight bus to Lima, we may try to squeeze in a visit to a craft market in Lima if we can, and then board the flight home. Or, to Panama City, then change planes and then board the flight home - which sounds less dramatic.
Look forward to one or maybe two more blog posts - a themed post that I have written about halfway and the possibility of a guest blogger - if she decided to do write a blog on the theme of her choosing.
Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed!

Mercedes-Benz U.S.A. is considering bringing the Vito commercial van to the U.S. market to offer with its larger Sprinter, a spokesman has confirmed to Automotive Fleet, a sister publication of Heavy Duty Trucking.
The Vito is offered elsewhere around the globe in three lengths, two wheelbases and three seating configurations. The company offers four- or six-cylinder diesel engines mated to rear- or all-wheel drive-trains.
Mercedes-Benz offers the Vito in cargo, crew, and passenger configurations. A passenger version called the Viano adds an upgraded interior, a version that may appeal to airport operators.
In 2009, Mercedes-Benz began offering the Sprinter, which had been a Dodge-branded panel van. The automaker formed its Daimler Vans USA unit at the time.

As written in the initial section of this chapter, the rules governing primaries, not the voters in them, may be responsible for candidates with narrow bases of support winning the nomination. The evidence and arguments presented above offer support for that contention. To increase the chances that voters in primaries select candidates with widespread support, these intraparty struggles should rely on proportional representation schemes to allocate delegates, adopt a preference ballot, and allow independents and partisan defectors to participate in primaries.
The party does, however, have other concerns besides picking candidates with the most support. For instance, parties seek to choose an acceptable candidate quickly so as to avoid dividing the party. The proportional representation rule, for example, might keep contenders in the race longer than under a system that favors the winner. In 1988, for instance, Dole might have been able to stay in the race longer if the GOP had relied more on allocating delegates proportionally. Such prolonged candidacies can undermine party unity. 19 Also, allowing independents and partisans of the opposing party to participate may be seen by loyal partisans as undercutting the values of the party. If disillusioned, the "core" party supporters might be less willing to work for the party and contribute money to its campaign treasury. 20 Finally, a preference ballot could confuse voters (especially the poorly educated ones) and lessen turnout in the short run, which could potentially lead to voters who are highly unrepresentative of the rank and file selecting nominees. 21 Thus, when considering changes in the rules governing presidential primaries, such concerns must be balanced.
The more important lesson in this chapter, however, is that the rules governing presidential primaries need to be considered when assessing the characteristics of voters. Perhaps if additional rules were changed, then other weaknesses in the current system might be minimized. In the concluding chapter I shall consequently propose changes in the rules that take account of both the strengths and weaknesses of voters when choosing candidates.

Query Optimization - Heuristic Approach
A query expressed in a high-level query language such as SQL must first be scanned, parsed, and validated. The scanner identifies the language tokens—such as SQL keywords, attribute names, and relation names—in the text of the query, whereas the parser checks the query syntax to determine whether it is formulated according to the syntax rules (rules of grammar) of the query language. The query must also be validated, by checking that all attribute and relation names are valid and semantically meaningful names in the schema of the particular database being queried. An internal representation of the query is then created, usually as a tree data structure called a query tree. It is also possible to represent the query using a graph data structure called a query graph. The DBMS must then devise an execution strategy for retrieving the result of the query from the database files. A query typically has many possible execution strategies, and the process of choosing a suitable one for processing a query is known as query optimization.
The query optimizer module has the task of producing an execution plan, and the code generator generates the code to execute that plan. The runtime database processor has the task of running the query code, whether in compiled or interpreted mode, to produce the query result. If a runtime error results, an error message is generated by the runtime database processor.
Translating Queries in to Relational Algebra
An SQL query is first translated into an equivalent extended relational algebra expression—represented as a query tree data structure—that is then optimized. Typically, SQL queries are decomposed into query blocks, which form the basic units that can be translated into the algebraic operators and optimized. A query block contains a single SELECT-FROM-WHERE expression, as well as GROUP BY and HAVING clauses if these are part of the block. Hence, nested queries within a query are identified as separate query blocks. Because SQL includes aggregate operators—such as MAX, MIN, SUM, AND COUNT.
The query contains nested query. Split into two query blocks.
SELECT LNAME, FNAME FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE SALARY > c;
where c represents the result returned from the inner block. The inner block could be translated into the extended relational algebra expression
MAX SALARY(sDNO=5(EMPLOYEE))
and the outer block into the expression
pLNAME, FNAME(sSALARY>C(EMPLOYEE))
The query optimizer would then choose an execution plan for each block. We should note that in the above example, the inner block needs to be evaluated only once to produce the maximum salary, which is then used—as the constant c—by the outer block. We called this an uncorrelated nested query. It is much harder to optimize the more complex correlated nested queries, where a tuple variable from the outer block appears in the WHERE-clause of the inner block.
Basic Algorithms for Query Executing
An RDBMS must include algorithms for implementing the different types of relational operations (as well as other types of operations) that can appear in a query execution strategy. The following are the various algorithms used:
1 External Sorting
2 Implementing the SELECT Operation
3 Implementing the JOIN Operation
4 Implementing PROJECT and Set Operations
5 Implementing Aggregate Operations
6 Implementing Outer Join
7 Combining Operations Using Pipelining
Using Heuristics in Query Optimization
One of the main heuristic rules is to apply SELECT and PROJECT operations before applying the JOIN or other binary operations. This is because the size of the file resulting from a binary operation—such as JOIN—is usually a multiplicative function of the sizes of the input files. The SELECT and PROJECT operations reduce the size of a file and hence should be applied before a join or other binary operation.
ü Cost-based optimization is expensive, even with dynamic programming.
ü Systems may use heuristics to reduce the number of choices that must be made in a cost-based fashion.
ü Heuristic optimization transforms the query-tree by using a set of rules that typically (but not in all cases) improve execution performance:
· Perform selection early (reduces the number of tuples)
· Perform projection early (reduces the number of attributes)
· Perform most restrictive selection and join operations (i.e. with smallest result size) before other similar operations.
· Some systems use only heuristics, others combine heuristics with partial cost-based optimization.
Pcustomer_name((sbranch_city = "
1) When we compute
(sbranch_city = "
we obtain a relation whose schema is:
(branch_name, branch_city, assets, account_number, balance)
2) Push projections using equivalence rules; eliminate unneeded attributes from intermediate results to get:
Pcustomer_name ((
Paccount_number ( (sbranch_city = "
depositor )
3) Performing the projection as early as possible reduces the size of the relation to be joined.

Officers remove a prisoner from the shower in one of the segregated wings -- called "the box" or "the hole" by prisoners -- at Alger Correctional Facility in Munising. It has 176 segregated cells in two housing units.

MUNISING -- Inmates call it "the box" or the "the hole."
The Michigan Department of Corrections calls it "administrative segregation." Whatever they're called, the steel-bolted cells, isolated from other prisoners, represent a prison within a prison. For months, or even years, they hold inmates who can't adjust to prison or pose a safety, security or escape risk. In a few cases, segregation inmates seek protection from other inmates.
Michigan has a long, sordid history of using isolation, sometimes with disastrous and deadly results. ...

So, next year I've got a 5 weeks leave approved with work. I'm looking at various exciting ways to spend those five weeks, mostly involving cycle touring which I've done before. I currently live in San Francisco, and while I'd originially looked at a tour of Tasmania, really it seems quite silly to pay such a huge airfare when there's so much beauty around the corner (and I'm French so it'll be new to me).
The time off is likely to be around march or april, which rules out a lot of places where I'll be too cold. That's alright because I've wanted to tour Arizona / Utah / New Mexico / Colorado for ages.
I've sort of mapped something tentative that linked the sort of things I want to see: white sands in NM, historical towns in NM, amazing parks in UT, and mountain scenery in CO. I'm aiming to start south and head north as it gets warmer. This would be the possible route: http://bit.ly/bP1TU6 although it's by no means fixed.
I've tried to find info on predominant winds, but most of what I can find relates to the southern tier route, which is west-east, whereas mine is more or less north-south oriented. I've seen someone mention south-westerlies in texas in summer. (southerly would be good )
Any help about the winds would be great! I turn into a horrible gremlin when I've got a strong headwind - I know they're a fact of touring but if I can avoid a predictable pattern, that'd be great!
PS: any general comments on the route welcome! I'm not saying I'd cycle those specific roads though - I'll keep it flexible. I'm looking for something that starts near an airport and ends near an airport to keep it simple!
