SARASOTA, Florida (AP) - Hundreds of tons of stinky seaweed are piling up on beaches from Sarasota to Clearwater, at the same time that tens of thousands of people are set to visit the area for the Republican National Convention.
The Herald Tribune reports the seaweed is a variety of sargassum that usually stays far offshore. It began washing in after Tropical Storm Debby made landfall in June.
So far, Sarasota County officials say crews have removed more than 200 tons from that area's white sand beaches.
Sea turtle nesting season is also hindering efforts to clear the seaweed from the beaches.
The Republican National Convention will be held in Tampa from Aug. 27-30, but tourism officials hope that some of the visitors will explore other areas of the region, like the beaches.

I have a Busch Pressman C. It is like NEW, I was surprised when I bought it that it was so clean and unabused. The lens is also like new. It's as though I went to the Camera Shop and purchased it this week. It's complete with all of the accessories and the Kalart range finder works and is dead on.
I just like the camera because it is light, self contained, and has a negative size that is large enough to be useful. I got a dozen new film holders also. I can shoot a couple of films and develop them together or separately. I have a bunch of cameras but this one is fun to use.

North Carolina has had two weeks since playing their last game against LSU in their season opener. The off week provided time for North Carolina to continue to deal with their off-field issues, and try to clear more players for Saturday's matchup against division rival, Georgia Tech.
The Tar Heels received good news with starting running back Shaun Draughn being cleared to play, but that's about where the good news ends. Not only has North Carolina come under fire for their association with Chris Hawkins, but they were not able to clear any of the remaining 12 players for Saturday's game.
The Tar Heels were able to clear starting linebackers Bruce Carter and Quan Sturdivant the day before the LSU game, and there was some speculation that they may be able to replicate that before Georgia Tech. But with the news today that no other players would be cleared, North Carolina must try to pick up a much-needed win against Paul Johnson's offense without two starting defensive lineman and most of their starting secondary.

Anthem: Anthem
Thursday, May 8, 2014, Welcome to Nashville Receptiion...OMG...I am probably going to get KICKED out of ELITE for writing this review...but it was horrible...I was not impressed and I didn't have a lick of fun....First of all, we had to wait in line for like 15 minutes to get in...
The pen to put our name on the name tags was like dried out...couldn't even hardly put our name on the tag...oh well, didn't know if anyone would care anyway..Had to show id to get, and a lady had her baby in the bar...NOT the right sitting for that at all..wasn't comfortable with that at all..
We were given one drink ticket each....I asked the bartender after waiting like 10 minutes to get a drink...for a beer and he said..NO BEER with the red ticket..so he poured us a vodka drink with ginger and lemon water...it was so watered down it was like weak KOOLAID...
The servers were walking around with the food trays...I was able to get a tuna ceviche (not bad), a samosas (ugh) and tiny crab cake ...I couldn't really taste it, no flavor. There was no place to really sit, we finally was able to get a seat in some casual seating area upstairs..Never saw the meatballs or chocolate balls..Went to get a another drink for my hubby and low and behold..I saw peeps with beer...I purchased a beer for him $8...that is a little high...a cost for a 6 pack of something...
There was no real music..we were there for over an hour and it was the same music over and over and over again..some techno sound...
We are in the Music City...where was the band, or singer...or two guys on bar stools ...anything...
I heard nothing but complaints from out of towners, about how much they paid to attend with hotels and air travel and was very disappointed in the events thus far. Many felt they could go to Hawaii or something for the price they paid..that is horrible..we have over 2,000 yelpers and they are upset saying our events were not living up to other event standards..well this was my first spring break celebration, and I have been elite for 2 yrs..but I was NOT IMPRESSED..I only had to drive from South Nashville was upset with the event and how laid out..if I had to come from San Francisco, Phoenix or Hawaii like some of the people I spoke to, I would have been upset also..
I have decided to UN-RSVP to my other events so that the spaces can be opened up for out of towners to attend. They are very upset with the number of locals that was able to grab up the spots...I felt really bad about this. So, I am opening up my spots for someone else to use.
After the mix up at the Skip Day event at Southern and then this mess, I don't want to leave any additional bad reviews...Maybe it is my time of the month, or maybe I am just to much of a ***...but I am not impressed with the Spring Break Events that I attend thus far, so I am jumping ship...Hope everyone else enjoys..At least, I didn't have to pay out the YAZOO for plane tickets and hotels...Have fun fellow Yelpers and Party on....hope it gets better for you all!!!!Related to:

TNTs Billiards Bar and Grill: TNTs Billiards Bar and Grill
Great BAR!!!! You need to read this review!!!
Okay, Tony and I was on our way to the Piggly Wiggly on Nolensville Rd in South Nashville when we noticed the sign.."TNT Billards Bar and Grill" so we said "Why not?" so we whipped into the parking lot and noticed first all how large the location is..and the parking lot is huge!!!
We entered into the location that is surrounded by walls of glass windows, so the place is well lit and has a huge dancing, with full band area..and several large Televisions located throughout the bar. There is a huge square bar in the middle so the seating is located on all sides with TVs everywhere.
They have 12 yes 12 Billiard Tables, 5 dart boards and they do have leagues there. They also have a jukebox, ATM machine and one of those Golf Game machines. On one of the televisions they show the BUZZTIME Trivia game and tons of controllers to use if you don't have the FREE APP on your smartphone.
I have my home Buzztime location as Buffalo Wild Wings in Smyrna but I am going to change it to this location. So much closer to my home!
The beer was only $2.25, so Tony was happy. He loves his cold Budweiser. Also, there are plenty of tables, booths and High top Tables scattered throughout the bar. They have a full menu of bar foods ranging from Pizza to sandwiches and a full bar serving all your favorite mixed drinks..and of course Tony's favorite...a SMOKING BAR..he can sit down at the bar, lean back on his stool enjoy a sporting event on one of the many televisions, drink his Ice cold Budweiser and fire up his cigarette.
Myself, the soda was fountain..which I love!!! And I was able to play Buzztime, so I am in seventh heaven, but ONE DOWN FALL...no Wifi so I had to use my 4G network. They are open daily 10:30am to 3 am..
I am definitely going back again, going to try their pizza or hot wings and let you know more!!!
If you go, write and review and give me your opinion!!! I love to read reviews and see if Great Minds think alike!!!Related to:

Even KellyPrettyBear (who is a hardcore UFOs as alien contact believer)
admits its a balloon.
reply to post by JadeStar
Wow, big assumption.
Given you're both fairly new to ATS, JadeStar...perhaps be careful about throwing labels around. It ain't cool and can be inferred as ignorance. I know this isn't the case.
reply to post by KellyPrettyBear
Wow so reality is you are really a very pessimistic person, who knew lol. I certainly thought the opposite. I too think this should have been a pm. It is hard to do this stuff on tablet lol.
The Bot
What do you base those numbers on? I think even mufon which is rather conservative in reporting ufo&alien phenomena has much higher percentages than that.
Why do you get upset about the label believer? Is it shameful for you? I wear the label with pride.
Unfortunately for me, John Ventre was there and was one of those good apples. He's the retired State Security and Public Affairs Director for UPS, and currently serves as the Pennsylvania State Director of MUFON.
"There's no doubt they're real," he said of UFOs. "Let's put it this way – 80 percent of the cases we get can be identified. About 10 percent are people hoaxing us, but then you get that 10 percent of good cases, and probably 3 to 5 percent are real UFOs."
Wow you are pretty high strung there. Just relax a bit.
I'm not a 'believer' in anything.
reply to post by KellyPrettyBear
I'm not a 'believer' in anything.
This is simply nonsensical, so nonsensical that puts anything you have to say after that in a situation of irrelevancy...

hey dean, have you though about making direct launch point toward /dev_bdvd instead of /app_home?
hey dean, have you though about making direct launch point toward /dev_bdvd instead of /app_home?
Hello friend, you can see the fund created PIC1 or similar formats when you're on an AVCHD video, if possible where they would put that name would have to give thanks ....
ahh sorry for my English is not perfect, greetings.
What format does the covers need to be?
How do you convert from *.JPEG files to PNG?
It launches the game directly from the HDD folder. This direct boot has nothing to do with the so called 'direct boot' in all other managers.
Put a file named COVER.PNG in the AVCHD folder.
You can now update to 01.09.05 (attached full version in the 1st post or update within the manager).
I also attached the PC HOST application.
There are some optimizations, fixes and changes as requested by many users.
[R1]/[R2] keys remapped to avoid entering patched mode by accident. Background for slide/coverflow view and filemanager are changed. Network file&folder copy from up to 10 host pcs/mount points.
Each PC HOST goes in separate mounted folder (net_host#). Max of 10 hosts supported (0-9).
Hosts are defined in the options file as follows:
[Register or Login to view code]
Each PC HOST definition must start with prefix nethost, followed by pc IP address, port and friendly name, separated by * and ending definition with *.
At the moment the pc host application is a CLI program (no GUI), but I guess it is enough for initial release and testing.
The usage is quite simple:

No, not yet - I wanted to release this version finally... it took so long to make the network work... I'll look into overscan and filemanager as promised and it will be available in the next update.
Sorry dean, let me get this correct, you can fire up ps3serv.exe on your pc, point it to whatever folder you want to define, give it a random port (that's the bit i'm unsure about), add those settings to the ini file for the PS3 then away you go ?
can anyone give me a tutorial on how to get avchd to work? everything i try i just get a black screen.
avchd shows in video tab under usb but when i press x just black screen.
thank you

5 Must-Have Skills Graduates Need to Land Their First Job
Careful listening, collaboration, asking good questions—these "soft skills" aren't always taught in school.
Today's college graduates need every skill-related edge they can get when it comes to applying for and landing a full-time job.
Numerous surveys and reports indicate that recent U.S. college graduates face a wildly competitive job market along with astronomical student loan debt. More than 40% of recent graduates are underemployed and 16% are working part-time jobs, according to Accenture's 2013 College Graduate Employment Survey.
One employer survey, conducted by staffing company Adecco, indicates that 44% of responding companies cited "soft skills, such as communication, critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration" as the area with "the biggest gap."
Additionally, a Talent Shortage Survey from ManpowerGroup discovered that nearly one in five employers worldwide is unable to fill positions because they can't find people with soft skills.
So what are these soft skills—and other critical workplace skills—that are necessary to join today's collaborative, fast-moving, real-time workforce? Here are five:
1. Manage Up
Most new graduates apply for entry-level positions, perhaps following an internship at a specific organization. Even though the desired position may be a starter position, having the advanced ability to manage up is key.
Managing up involves listening, observing, and learning about your manager's leadership style, how she measures success, what projects she cares most about, her core values, etc. When you learn and process this information, you can more easily manage expectations, deliver results, and communicate effectively.
Let's say your boss is an expert multi-tasker who makes quick decisions and hates to be interrupted with in-person "drop-ins." Work with that to match your day-to-day work style to your manager's preferences. If your boss is disorganized, be proactive and help him track tasks and deadlines.
2. Embrace Transparency
Transparency is a key value in the workplace and it's a value you should learn to embrace in the beginning of your career.
Transparency is about being open. It involves thinking about others, collaborating and sharing within a democratic workplace. A democratic workplace encourages all employees to have a voice. Part of that voice encompasses participating fully in the workplace.
Understand the impact your work—whether it is producing a report or contacting a sales lead—has on your coworkers as well as the company overall.
3. Be Collaborative vs. Comparative
Collaboration can be defined as working with other people to achieve or create something. Meanwhile, to compare is to examine something—for both similarities and differences—in relation to something else. When you view your job through a "collaborative" lens, you are more likely to focus on the greater good of the project and the company rather than your individual contribution.
Consider a sports team. When a basketball player makes a shot from across the court, it's exciting. But when one player passes the ball to another player who then makes a crafty pass to a third player who makes a slam dunk—that is a whole new level of exciting! This is teamwork in action. The precision of collaboration motivates team members to share, engage, and excel.
4. Listen (Respectfully) With The Intent To Learn
The ability to listen can make or break you in the workplace (and in life). Listening is crucial to understanding our environment, our society, and those around us. When we don't listen, we fail to understand, and a lack of understanding leads to problems.
An integral part of listening is not only hearing what is said but what is not said. A person may have innovative ideas, but he may not be able to clearly articulate them. Another person may have reservations about a project but be unable to clearly express his thoughts. Often, you need to listen for what someone is trying to say versus what they are actually saying.
Another component of listening is asking the right questions. A great leader asks the right questions, as she recognizes that no single person knows the correct answers. She knows that a team is much better at figuring out the answers. If you put a team of people in a room and each asks the right questions, the right answers will often materialize. Remember that it's much more important to ask the right questions than to have all the answers.
5. Understand the Make-Up of the Modern Workplace: Generation Collaboration
There are currently four generations of workers in today's workforce: Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Gen X-ers, and Millennials. As you master the intricacies of your new work environment—and while you collaborate with and listen to coworkers—be mindful of each person's background and how that influences his work style. There is no right or wrong, good or bad—just different. Learn to embrace it.
Think of the modern workplace as an ecosystem centered on connection. While the Boomer may prefer to work from a quiet office, the Millennial might be more comfortable working from the café with four coworkers. Be adept at working with both.
When you prepare to manage up, embrace transparency and collaboration, listen carefully, and welcome workplace and work style diversity, you place yourself ahead of the rest of the graduate pack.
Mastering these soft skills will help you avoid the hard reality of an unsuccessful job search.

I like that you've included Managing Up among your recommendations. I think it's a skill that's often overlooked and commonly misunderstood. (As illustrated in one of the comments below.) I wrote an article about it not too long ago with resources that some readers might find helpful -- http://www.asha.org/Publications/leader/2013/131001/Make-It-Work--Manage-UP.htm
I have the problem where I just can't stay interested therefore focused when someone is speaking to me. I want to change that... Any tips on how to listen more actively?
The fundamental to listening better is to genuinely care about what someone else is saying. All too often, we are only pretending to listen while we formulate our response--and only pick up a few words from the speaker so we can incorporate them into our response. Try reflective listening--after the speaker finishes, respond with, "So you're saying_." and try to summarize their point--as they made it, without editorial comment or evaluation. Then check if you got it. This forces you not only to actually listen, but also helps demonstrate that you really did listen. Then, and only then, can you formulate a response--who knows, you might just have learned something.
Started doing this a while ago and it made a significant difference in conversations. People felt reassured that we both left the meeting / conversation with a good understanding of the matter at hand and we both felt like we were on the same page.
I'm becoming convinced that "managing up" actually exacerbates a manager's weaknesses. Basically you're handling the small details that once secretaries would orchestrate for a manager. Instead of you accomplishing a task for your manager, you're actually doing the manager's organizational and advocacy work for him. It does not help a manager deal with the unexpected, it helps her pretend everything is just as predicted.
Actually, good listening will take care of the other four if done frequently and with skill.
Number 5 about working with multi-generations is significant. I know new grads who have been rejected from the hiring process simply because they came with a "too casual" approach that was reminiscent of their college days. The older generation appreciates formalities, and if they don't see it, they may think the candidate may not be suitable.
Good skills to have. Thanks for sharing. Of equal importance is how one should go about developing those skills while in college or on the job. That's where I spend most of my consulting time and encourage others to do so as well.

Why are the TOS movies better then the TNG movies?

The TNG films fell into a pretty standard cookie cutter pattern. They ALL ended with older people fighting on scaffolding.
GEN - Picard/Kirk/Soran
FC - Picard/Borg Queen
INS - Picard/Ru'afo
NEM - Riker/Viceroy
There was no variation, at least FC had a great subplot about Zephram Cochrane. None of the films deviated from this bland, played out, low-rent formula.

Trek 2009 followed the very same formula of the TNG movies. Bad guy has doomsday device, and in the climax there are fist fights and shoot outs, and bad guy is stopped using violence.
I agree with these statements.
TMP, III, and VI were all about the plots, II had balanced elements of being an action movie and being a good Trek, and IV was a comedy. And then V is at best laughably ridiculous, but still didn't screw up pre-established continuity as bad as Generations.

Sandra Bullock Finalizes Divorce
Sandra Bullock has finalized her divorce from her husband of nearly five years, Jesse James, Usmagazine.com has learned.
The documents are sealed.
Stating that their marriage "has become insupportable" after James, 41, cheated on her, Bullock, 45, filed for divorce Apr. 23 in Travis County Court in Austin, Texas, where she is a resident (and where James plans to move).
Around the same time of her filing, Bullock revealed that she and James had been in the process of adopting a baby from New Orleans, 3 1/2 month-old Louis, before splitting. She said she plans to raise the boy as a single parent.
Despite James' infidelities, a source recently told Us Weekly that the two are on speaking terms.
"Jesse would not relocate his family [Chandler, 15, Jesse Jr, 12, and Sunny, 6] to Austin without consulting with her," the insider told Us. "This has been in the works for a while. Austin is Sandra; it's not him."
Added the source, "He'd like to reconcile."
Since splitting with James, Bullock has been in hiding but recently stepped out for a few highly buzzed-about public appearances.
She wowed crowds at the Nashville flood benefit concert June 22 and a Spike TV awards show the same month.
On June 6, she accepted the Generation Award at the MTV Movie Awards, where she smooched Scarlett Johansson and urged the audience, "Can we please go back to normal? Because therapy is really expensive."

help Imagine on Kickstarter, a Documentary about December 21st, 2012!!!
We are a group of independent filmmakers from Mexico, Australia, United States and Chile. Over the past years we´ve been working on several audiovisual projects and this is our first major feature documentary: Imagine.
Imagine 2012 is a very human, mystical, historical and beautifully shot documentary about what really happened on December 21st 2012. It was mostly shot in Mayan territory (Mexico, Guatemala and Belize) during December 2012 but also includes footage from our different past journeys to the area.

Awesome update. The textures in your digital studies are great, and you're so good at defining planes and structure, its very insightful and inspiring studying your drawings and paints, very strong work--thanks for updating!
Yes, yes! Lovely, man. Your figure drawings are so great. I love your handling of the shadows and structure. The page with the fiery dude and monster heads... do they care if you get creative with your studies in the middle of class, or is it a pretty easygoing atmosphere in there? The PS studies really shine, though. Ooooo. It's stuff like this that makes the motivational juices boil, no?
I just went through all 27 pages bro.
AMAZING...keep posting. love your lines. super clean style yet nitty gritty just the way i like them
I wish I had the time to go through all 27 pages too. But I don't so I'm going to have to feel guilty as I do it.
This latest update is totally filled with tasty things for my eyes. Great stuff man, you make me want to do more work....Like studies of your studies for example
I'm sorry if this has been said already but I love how your shading adds so much mass and depth to your figures. You're likes are beautiful and unique.
...your sketchbook blows my freaking mind. I'm going to blow some hours soon just picking through it, your pencils (pen?) just make me drool.
if cleanliness is next to godliness... judging by your art i'd say you're a hygenic person...

I love the lady in the hoody, I think it is your best work. I really like your line-work and hatching. Your style is so clean and expressive. Are you working in ink or graphite primarily. My only crit is that it seems like your proportions are occasionally getting distorted. Are you doing any under-drawing at all or is this pretty much your first and only lines. If so it could explain the occasional stretch, it would also make you a complete badass.

Absolutely stunning. Those pencils... those scenes from movie screenshots..
wonderful. Looking forward to see more from you, really good skills.

A short documentary about Russian composer, Galina Ustvolskaya.
According to Wikipedia:
… Read the rest
Ustvolskaya developed her own very particular style, of which she said, "There is no link whatsoever between my music and that of any other composer, living or dead." Among its characteristics are: the use of repeated, homophonic blocks of sound, which prompted the Dutch critic Elmer Schönberger to call her "the lady with the hammer"; unusual combinations of instruments (such as eight double basses, piano and percussion in her Composition No. 2); considerable use of extreme dynamics (as in her Piano Sonata No. 6); employing groups of instruments in order to introduce tone clusters; and the use of piano or percussion to beat out regular unchanging rhythms (all of her acknowledged works use either piano or percussion, many use both).
The music of Galina Ustvolskaya is not 'avant-garde' in the commonly accepted sense of the term and for this reason was not openly censured in the USSR.

So Joe Sixpack is fine with a Sith running the show after 10,000 years of Jedi propaganda?
Han doesn't believe in the Jedi, Luke had never heard of them, it's almost like Palpatine had been taking lessons from Big Brother about revisionist history to remove any belief in the force et all along with the ignominy of the Sith.
I think it's true, but I also think that most people didn't believe in the force unless you actually met a Jedi. I get the impression that the Republican was so big that you probably never did so you just assumed stories were exaggerated. You probably started trusting more in the professional army during the Clone Wars and may have even believed Palpatine when he said that they tried to assassinate him. Then you have 30 years of propaganda to essentially erase any belief in the force that was left.

zPilott, that's great that you're getting back into this interface. I remember reading about your first serial version. With you and jimbonzzz doing V1 software, it can only help to inspire more hardware development. I'll read up on the USBMOD3 and see if I can contribute anything.
EDIT: Also, according to Jim's schematics, a resistance value of at least 3.6k is necessary to turn off the V1's display and send the display signal to the concealed display if you don't have one already hooked up. If you do, you should be able to use an RJ11 splitter and forego the need for the resistor loop between +12V and the data line (looks like you've got a 2.2k between +5V and data).
This USB interface looks promising (and simple to boot!).
EDIT2: Is your diode facing that direction intentionally? If I'm reading it correctly, that's the RXD line, and if you have the cathode on that side, wouldn't it be blocking the signal?


text: I can tell just by looking at the negative side by side with a roll I developed in January this year (with the Fuji kit) that there is a lot of color missing from the recent Rollei developed rolls. I'll try calling Freestyle as well. It's a bit unfortunate actually, because I called them right after I got the kits in April because of leakage from another bottle (the bleach was overfilled), and they promptly sent a replacement.

Even though I'm a Somrak fan I've always had a soft spot for Jomhod, he came to fight in Europe in my early days. (He demolished one of my trainers with leg kicks and punches inside 3 rounds!). Even though it's an intersting ATG matchup albiet well over a decade past when it would've been dynamite, it's a better match up than Somrak's last bout. The difference is though that Jomhod is looking every bit his ring age as he never really stopped fighting since his heyday, he looks really really old and gaunt for his true age, way too meny battles. By comparison somluck still looks pretty good, all that partying must have paid off!
Don't get too excited about the Thai fight card, all unfortunate mismatches, but I still enjoyed it. Sudsakorn's elbow was a peach and watching
Iquezang hilarous.
Next months finals are gonna be pretty predictable.
It turns out excessive drinking and gambling is the secret to longevity.... if your Somrak.
Your right about all the mismatches in the Thai Fight promotions, it really is the exception when they are matched up tough(as some of them were a couple cards ago). I look at the promotion as mostly a showcase for the Thai fighters.

Lay's test-crunches 3 new chip flavors
The next Lay's potato chip will taste like chicken and waffles. Or cheesy garlic bread. Or Sriracha, a hot sauce often used in Thai dishes.
Lay's is letting potato chip lovers decide which one of the three will be its newest flavor. All of them will be sold at retailers nationwide starting next week. After trying them, fans have until May to vote for their favorites. The flavor with the most votes will stay on store shelves.
But if the other two flavors sell well, they may remain in stores, too, said Ann Mukherjee, chief marketing officer at Frito-Lay.
"Who knows, we don't know what's going to happen." she said. "Our intent is to keep the one that people vote for."
It's the latest promotional stunt that tries to engage customers through social media and direct interaction, much as Hasbro's Monopoly did with its recent contest that ended with the addition of a cat game token and the demise of the iron.

A judge declares a mistrial in the murder case against music legend Phil Spector.
The jury deliberated for 12 days taking six ballots, but still was unable to reach a unanimous verdict.
Jurors told the superior court judge they were split 10-to-2 without indicating which way they were leaning.
They added there was nothing the judge could do to help them arrive at a unanimous verdict.
Spector went on trial in April charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of actress Lana Clarkson.
The judge told attorneys to return to his Los Angeles courtroom Oct. 3 to discuss the next legal move.

Staying on Track with Your Kidney Diet
So far February has been packed full of holidays and events. Super bowl XLIX, Valentine's Day, President's Day, Mardi Gras, Ash Wednesday, Chinese New Year and even the Oscars. Everyone has something to celebrate! We've been tempted by chocolate candies, jambalaya, King cake, Dim Sum dumplings and chicken wings. These temptations can have an impact on how you feel and your lab results. As February winds down this week, it's a good time to refocus on healthy eating for your kidney diet.
Here are 3 ways to get back on track, plus a 1-day menu to get you started. Read more…

First International
Stelmar To Resume Discussions With First International
Tanker operator Stelmar Shipping said it was ready to revive talks with Bermuda-based First International to buy six petroleum tankers once the latter is free of an ownership dispute. "Yes, we're there to talk again, and would be interested in talking again for sure," a top Stelmar official said. Stelmar and First International reached a $140 million deal for the ships last year but it fell through in October when First International became embroiled in a bitter legal dispute with a minor lender. The tanker fleet has since become ensnared in a fresh dispute, this time between First International and bondholders, which provided most of the $257 million to build the fleet. Stelmar listed in New York in February, with the purpose of raising funds to buy 10 products tankers from Osprey Maritime; a deal with First International would swell the fleet to 28. "It's no secret that Stelmar's in the business of growing its product tanker fleet, and assets like that are not always on the market," the official said. "We're going to have to start again, because we're a different company. We've moved on since then (the first deal)." Both First International and investment fund bond holders have asked a New York court to decide in coming weeks which of them controls the future employment of the six tankers.

Scientists had predicted this disaster, and in response, the leaders of every country met to develop a plan for human survival before the meteor hit. The Seven Seeds project was developed out of this meeting. Each country froze a number of young healthy people, which allowed them to survive the meteor. After the computer determined that Earth was once again safe for human life, it released them into the world.
The Japanese government created five groups of survivors: Winter group, Spring group, Summer group A, Summer group B, and Fall group. Each group consisted of seven members and one guide. The guide carried small tubes of poison on their necks to allow them to end their lives if their situation became unbearable. The Japanese government prepared seven "Fuji" as refuges for the groups. In each Fuji, the group would find seeds and numerous books instructing them on survival in the wilderness.
7 Seeds won the 2007 Shogakukan Manga Award for shoujo manga.

Thien Thanh Hotel
Best budget pick
What we say:
The Thien Thanh Hotel is our pick for Phong Nha's best budget option. Marble frontage – check. Reception sporting six inaccurately set clocks from great cities – you've got it! Tour bus out front – more often than not. We've just described every Vietnamese hotel in Quang Binh — possibly the country — but what makes Thien Thanh standout is the perky red stickers on the window saying Thien Thanh… and a few other highlights.
Right in the middle of Phong Nha town, plain-looking Thien Thanh holds a few ace cards up its sleeves in terms of value for money and awesome balcony views. At $10 a night ($12 for two) it's short on facilities, with just the usual tour booking desk and breakfast room, but some great little local food joints are nearby and a ramshackle bar lies just across the road. Rooms come with air-con, hot water, satellite TV, a comfortable bed (or five for a couple of dollars more) and ensuite, private bathrooms. For the best balcony views, ask for a room on the left overlooking the national park.
For the price you'll be hard pushed to find similar quality accommodation in town. The slightly pricier Saigon Phong Nha on the river fails to live up to its grand exterior (although the location right next to the cave boat dock is the best in town). For now Phong Nha town is a bit light on pickings for families or couples unless you are happy to pay upwards of $30 a night for a room at Ho Khanh's Homestay on the river, a beautiful old traditional wood and tiled antique house run by the very fellow who discovered Son Doong, the world's largest cave. At the other end of the scale is Easy Tiger, a backpacker dorm with a lively traveller scene and bar.
The usual tour bus parked out the front of the Thien Thanh will give a clue as to the hotel's regular clientele – huge groups of holidaying Vietnamese after a day or two cave trekking. These groups tends to be the early to bed, early to rise noisy kind, but if you are planning an activity-packed couple of days in Phong Nha, chances are you'll be matching their timekeeping. For those hoping to squeeze in a lie in, you'd be better off seeking out accommodation away from the town. Phong Nha Farmstay, the Pepper House Homestay and Ho Khanh's are all located in more tranquil areas away from the thundering traffic making its way through the town to Dong Hoi.
Overall Thien Thanh is a great budget hotel; the balcony views, easy links to onward travel and the chance to sample a bit of Phong Nha town make it worth one night of your Phong Nha stay. Staff are charming and breakfast is typically Vietnamese — though if you arrive more than four seconds after a tour group has hit up the buffet like a plague of locusts you'll be looking elsewhere for sustenance.

Until yesterday I knew from her she was relatively safe........ since then she (I pray and hope and wish) is busy n surviving the growing flood and taking care of her lovely family (her daughter Badr is also a very good friend of mine).
If she's able to return to or facebook of the Soup - wouldn't it be nice if her mailbox would be filled with warmest wishes and maybe the knowledge that people have been praying for her............
