How can you decide which insurance company is the best for you and your needs? Not an easy question since everybody is different and has different needs. Therefore it may take some time and energy to find the company that suits you best.
The first thing you have to do is to list the companies that offer the services you want or need. You don't have to look at prices yet, because if a company doesn't have what you want, they aren't good for you anyway, cheap or not cheap.
Only after you decided on the companies that have what you want you can start looking at the prices. Just make sure that when you compare prices all the services you want are included. Sometimes adding an extra service can make a whole difference in price.
Sometimes you can skip services you don't need and the price will go down. Why pay for them if you are not going to ever use them? In some policies these services will be included anyway but only by asking companies you know for sure they offer the lowest price.
It is always advisable to read the whole contract, including the small print before you sign it. If the quoted price is only for a limited time you should know that. If that is the company with the lowest price, you might want to go to the next lowest priced policy for unlimited time. Also remember that if you want to cancel a contract you often have to pay fees.
Remember that there are a lot of things that influence the premium, like your age, your situation and your needs. So if a company gives you a quote without having asked for some personal information that quote may not be accurate at all.
To find the best insurance company for you it is wise to shop around before you sign up with a company. Since everybody's needs are different, no company can claim to be "the best". It is for you to decide on that. You can go online to do your comparisons or ask an insurance agent near you.

Dodgers deciding Manny's schedule
Updated: June 18, 2009, 1:59 PM ETESPN.com news services
LOS ANGELES -- Manny Ramirez appears to be a week away from beginning a minor league assignment as he nears the end of his 50-game suspension for violating Major League Baseball's substance abuse policy.
Manager Joe Torre said Wednesday that it was possible that Ramirez would start out playing for Class A Inland Empire next Thursday. The 66ers begin a three-game series at Lake Elsinore that day before playing their next three at home against Rancho Cucamonga, making it convenient ...

The 2015 Aiken Bluegrass Festival is May 8th & 9th, 2015 at the Aiken County Fairgrounds!
Let's just get this outta the way right off the bat. We love parties. We love bluegrass.
Eventually, we got to wondering what would happen if we combined our two loves to create a big bluegrass party, and by cracky, The Aiken Bluegrass Festival was born!
Previously held at High Fields, just east of downtown Aiken, we got too big for our britches in 2014 and moved to the Aiken Fairgrounds, located at 1566 Columbia Highway North (Route 1 between the bypass and Interstate 20) in 2014. As always, we promise to bring in regionally and nationally acclaimed bluegrass artists for a two-day gathering in a family friendly environment, including plenty of activities for our little bluegrass fans. Food and other vendors will be available to fill the belly and quench the thirst, so coolers will not be allowed on the festival grounds.
We will have camping and RV space available for folks who would like to stay overnight. Space is limited, though, so get your reservations early. Tickets are available at local outlets and online (see "Ticketing"). But we're in it for the music, the smiles, and the community not the money. All proceeds from the Aiken Bluegrass Festival benefit STAR Riding, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping individuals with disabilities improve their quality of life through safe interaction with horses.
We hope you will consider spending a Friday and Saturday in Aiken this May for bluegrass music, good food, good friends, and good times!

Customer Ratings & Reviews
Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 92 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Shorty1937 Wrong size refills for Incline scratcher However, I ordered the Incline scratcher (which I have owned before). My cat loves them, but, the refills you carry DO NOT fit this Incline scratcher. I knew they were the wrong size, but didn't find them elsewhere. We will try to cut them down. I'm sure I have ordered the correct size before before, but not from your company. Please try to stock the correct size for the Incline scratcher you sell. I will definitely order them. Let me know if you can stock them. Order came in great shape. Thank you. Anna Wheeler August 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by lisaa Coming back for more! My cats love this. I bought the incline scratcher, rubbed it with catnip, and they went crazy for it. When I purchased this I didn't know there was a hidden dangly toy in the base - my cats found it in minutes - and now they are scratching playing and sleeping on this thing. If there is a downside, it's that there's bits of cardboard dust that flies off because of the scratching - but it's minor compared to how much my two boys enjoy their scratcher. I'll be coming back for another. March 30, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Leigh63 Big Cats? Nail it down I have a couple of Maine Coons and when they start ripping on this thing it moves all over the place and they knock it over which scares them. The toy on the inside has drawn 0 attention from my 4 cats. All that being said, it is stable for small cats (8lbs or less) and the height and incline are good. For the price, I can try to weight it down or nail it to a board to keep my big boys happy too. December 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by gandp Good, sturdy, and the cats love it This incline scratcher is less expensive than others, yet just as sturdy. Happy we bought it for our cats. It comes with a small bag of catnip, which the cats proceeded to lick off the scratcher once applied. All in all, good purchase. Need to figure out what inserts to get for replacing (not apparent on the chewy site). December 30, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by ChatMom Flimsy construction Disappointing purchase as the cardboard holder ripped immediately during set-up. Scratch pad sinks into the holder vs sitting flush causing it to really move around. Our cat had no interest in the scratch pad, much prefers the (flat) scratch lounger. Will occasionally "hunt" for toys in the hole of the cardboard holder; however, not worth the money just for that functionality. May 8, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Aprils427 Perfect for my cat These cat scratches seem more durable than the ones at my local pet store. I bought two of these guys, the wide one and the inclined one. My cat had yet to even destroy one whole side of either of these and we've had them two and a half months. Great buy! February 3, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Glen81 Size could be bigger and incline scratcher should be more stable I bought both the double scratcher and the incline scratcher, but kitty is mildly interested in both compared to other brand's scratchers he's had in the past, mainly for two reasons: 1) size could be bigger (my cat likes to lounge on his scratchers but this one doesn't seem to be big enough for him to be comfortable enough) 2) incline scratcher is unstable, it will move when scratched on, hence cat will lose interest and go for the side of the armoire instead Having said this, they are probably more suitable for a young kitten. December 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by daddyofsox drives my cat crazy I had two items in the delivery box and before I could unpack the scratcher, my cat was in the package going after the toy inside. Funniest thing you ever saw. Now she runs and jumps on it and scratches on it. SHE LOVES IT !!! December 25, 2015

P5E Sata III
This review is from: ASUS Model PCIE GEN2 SATA6G Expansion Card
Pros: Just works! I bought this to put Sata III on an older ASUS P5E mb with a new C300 SSD 64Gb.Drive shows in boot section of BIOS,but doesnt show on screen until BIOS functions are done.OS is Linux 10.10 , and no drivers are needed.Increased SSD read from 280 on sata II to 375 on sata III.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: If I had thought about it I might have bought version with USB3 included.

Works as intended
This review is from: ASUS Model PCIE GEN2 SATA6G Expansion Card
Pros: Very simple to install. I works with my Abit IP35 pro in the 4x slot.
Cons: Port 1 that points to the front of the case, as mounted under your GPU the SATA cable can come very close to the fan so routing is important. It would be best to attach a drive below the GPU so the cable goes away from the blades.
Other Thoughts: the CD had the older drivers, Asus's website has the latest drivers from 3/10 which work just fine without any issues.

Asus PCIE GEN2 SATA 6/G
This review is from: ASUS Model PCIE GEN2 SATA6G Expansion Card
Pros: I have a nvidia 750i motherboard that does not support AHCI. When I installed Intel ssd I was not getting optimal performance. This 20.00 add on card did the trick, blazing fast. Get this card if you only have 3gb/s on your south bridge it is awesome and a cinch to install.
Cons: None Yet

If your noy happy with your SSD and AMD
This review is from: ASUS Model PCIE GEN2 SATA6G Expansion Card
Pros: I finally got a ssd but on the AMD sb710 and sb750 southbridges seemed like i was getting shorted on speed was supposed to be getting 220 reads but was only getting 190 - 200 but i knew the drive should perform a little better so i got this card plugged it into a sata 2.0 not 3.0 ssd with no raid (card doesnt do raid anyway) and BAMM im getting 210-240 reads while writes didnt change. For anyone not happy with your new ssd and AMD southbridge GET THIS CARD!!! dont buy a new mobo because your ssd seems slow!
Cons: NONE
Other Thoughts: All AMD owners with ssd's needs one of these im not talking about the new 800 series south bridges though only sb750 and below. I really didnt think it would work so well for only 20 bucks but it surpassed all my expectations. A installation note if your ssd is currently in IDE mode follow these steps plug the card in first with no drives attached boot up let windows load the AHCI drivers for the card then shut the pc down again now plug in your ssd and walla it boots up perfect in AHCI mode which supports TRIM too. You probably have to change boot order in the bios after you plug the ssd in so be aware. Now sit back and enjoy your new SSD!

Pros: Works great on my evga 790 digital motherboard..giving my ssd the trim capability ..though can't seem to get the marvell drivers to install correctly,but it works fine with the windows ahci driver..
Cons: Shipping..took longer then i thought it should have..

Works with any Board!
This review is from: ASUS Model PCIE GEN2 SATA6G Expansion Card
Pros: I tested this out and it works in PCI-16x slot on a 790GX motherboard!
Cons: None - A real bargin. Make sure you have a x4 slot or higher. Not truly SATA III
Other Thoughts: I wasn't sure if this would work since it listed requirements as P55 boards, however it works just fine with HDD and optical drives. Since this was so cheap, I may get another and convert this to a x1 card with the dremel tool.

We contracted with Krystal to do our annual corporate client appreciation event. She was in constant contact with us prior to the event making sure that she understood the event requirements so that she could taylor the performance appropriately. Krystal arrived 2 hours early to set up and was ready for the start of our event. The event required back ground entertainment and we had several positive comments about how nice it was to be able to talk without the performance being overbearing, and at the same time loud enough for them to sit back and listen to her wonderful voice. Krystal is a true gem and I would highly recommend her for any occasion. Exceptional talent- John P

Sexy actress Linda Fiorentino has won a two-year legal battle against a producer who expected her to act out graphic sex scenes - despite her contract containing a no-nudity clause.
The LAST SEDUCTION actress had prepared for her role as artist GEORGIA O'KEEFE in the run up to the shoot, but was unaware producer KARIL DURKA couldn't get financing.
A source says, "She immersed herself in the role, living and breathing O'Keefe for months."
Durka decided the only way to get backing would be to fill the film with raunchy romps - something Fiorentino refused to do, leading the project to fall apart.
The producer then sued her, arguing that she'd just left the set. But Fiorentino counterclaimed for defamation and fraud.15/07/2003 22:47

Tasty fish food
posted 6 years ago
This fish food seemed very good because some of the other kinds I tried the fish didn't eat it, but this kind they always ate all of it. When the few times they didn't finish it the water didn't get all cloudy and the filter wasn't real dirty. The only problem I had is the kids would want to feed the fish when I wasn't around and would dump it all in the tank. wish it was child proof
Pros: lasted a long time fish were satisfied
Cons: kids could open it and dump it in tank

This is great! Back when I still had goldfish, they gobbled these up right after I sprinkled them into the tank. The flakes smell really good and are really easy to feed with. They're available almost everywhere and are really affordable/healthy.
Pros: Easily distributed.
Cons: Makes the tank a little dirty if fish are overfed

We have used this food for our fish for years! It has never let us down...we prefer the flakes rather than the pebbles because they take longer to float to the bottom.

Eighteenth-century mathematician William Jones had a problem with pi—namely, it didn't exist yet. At the time of his working and teaching in the field of mathematics, there was no term for the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, despite the value's importance to even the most basic study of geometry. In his 1706 book, Synopsis Palmariorum Matheseos, or A New Introduction to the Mathematics, he made a modest proposal: that the universal constant be known as pi, and thus was mathematical histor...

Nice interview. I greatly disagree with del Toro's assertion "characters from many nationalities or gender, to make them equal in the scope of the adventure." Except for the female love interest, the other multicultural characters were just window dressing cardboard, which was a shame. That made the deaths of the Chinese Three and the Russian siblings so predictable.
Terrific interview! I don't always love GDT's movies, but--damnit--when he is on, he is ON! PAN'S LABYRINTH is legitimately one of the best films I've ever seen, and all of his Spanish films range from great to classic in quality.
Also, I have read an old draft of GDT's ATMOM screenplay, and--as a Lovecraft aficionado--I can state with confidence that GDT crafted a script that is as exciting and simultaneously as Lovecraftian as any script or script treatment I've ever read (or seen onscreen). The news that ATMOM still has hope to be greenlit is HUGE!
Nothing about the Monster anime adaptation...
I realized after Pacific Rim that I'm not a GDT fan, just a Pan's Labyrinth fan. He seems like a cool guy, though.
Pacific rim IS evangelion live action, or a rip-off, am i the only one that thinks that?
There is nothing in Pacific Rim that is even remotely an Evangelion knock-off. There are plenty of huge robot stories that japan have done. All have some similar parts. Plenty made long before Evangelion ever existed. Only similarity is big robots fighting big monsters. Thats about it.
There had ought to be an MPAA rating for a "no one over thirteen" rating. I watched (part of) Pacific Rim. We have no torpedoes. No mines. No depth charges. Riiiight. In essence we have trashed all existing technology and gone to remotely manned giant robots.
The thought echoing through my head while watching this utter trash was "We can already do better than this with existing technology." It is an insult to our intelligence. I do not expect a sequel to be any better.
I would suggest Senor Del Toro look at crowdsourcing to fund a portion of any film the studios think would be too expensive to make. I would gladly donate whatever I could to get a film like Pan's Labyrinth or The Devil's Backbone. If giving some money gives Senor Del Toro more freedom, I believe it is money worth donating.
@Rob Meyer, It's pretty clearly explained in the film that the modern weapons do not work because of the portal's ability to read the things going through it. While the Jaegers and Kaiju in the film were immensely fun, I can't help but believe that they were not just there for spectacle. Del Toro told the story in more than just lines and actions, there's things visually happening in the movie that some people just could not make the connection with. It's an incredibly deep film that goes beyond just "giant robots" and "giant monsters." To call this incredible film "utter trash" is an insult and you clearly did not have the intelligence to be able to look past what was going on onscreen and see the film for what it truly was.
The first Pacific Rim was crap, so will the second one. China is ruining movies!
for me MR Del Toro The HPL story most indicated for the now pubblic it ''The Case of Charles Dexter Ward'' . In primis for the duble temporal plan up the story it based verry trendy. And the ambientation in the spetacular N.E. ov XVIII cen. exalted with at good photography and dinamic look position on frist time slow and Lightning at the end of actions.

innocence by twisted-windWatch

XD yeah yeah... it wasn't you
awe he's so cute! how can anyone stay mad at that face!
He burned the fire station....?
I'm sorry, but I can't help but find that hilarious. XD
I'm sorry, but I can't help but find that hilarious. XD
awwweeee poor Zenox I love ur Zenox he's so adorable I juz' wanna cuddle him
This mite be mean to say but the idea of a fire station burning too irony funny not laugh at. And that face.
aaawwww! so cute! i love it!
Poor Zenox.
I love this picture by the way, very adorable.
I was wondering if you could take a look at my gallery and tell me what you think and what my drawings need more of. I would be very appreciative if you did.
Awwww, too cute >w<
Ofcourse it was not you. ':-|
How could anyone be angry at such a cute face?
Didn't that happen in a Disney cartoon?
I know he's putting on an innocent face and he someone should proabibly should be mad at him, but all I want to do is laugh! You made my day!
the puppy eyes don't work on me but your lucky your getting one strike.
Oh, poor boy
Who can argue with THAT logic?
Oh, I'll forgive you......just don't do something like me! You made me worried sick!
I never saw such a cute pyromaniac! n.n
i's soooo cutee!!!
poor thing :')
aww super adorable
Oh you naughty little cabbit!
XD thats so cute.
cuuute!! :3
too cute
That is just too adorible!!!
Awwww <3 xD
Aww, I would listen to anything he says, how can someone lie with that cute face
I told the government we needed a new Water Station but they only laughed at me.
awwwwww ;_;
Okay! In condizioni normali l'avrei trovato semplicemente bello, ma dato che mentre tornavo a casa mia sono passate due ambulanze, una macchina dei pompieri, un carro-pompa normale e un carro-pompa con braccio elevatore (tutti a sirene spiegate), trovo la coincidenza leggermente inquietante.
Ohhhh My goodness! This is so cute!! >w<
Awwwww! So cute!!
Aww this is funny.
good god this is so cute
then why do you have burn marks all over you, and why did you say "i didn't burn the fire station I swear... I just wanted to see them in action" that last remark "I just wanted to see them in action" says it all.
If you wanted to see them in action then that would lead to you setting things on fire, thus causing the fire station to burn down. So basically YOU DID.
If you wanted to see them in action then that would lead to you setting things on fire, thus causing the fire station to burn down. So basically YOU DID.
It's okay, little Zenox, I believe you. No one's mad at you~ *Hugs*
Girl, I believe what little cute zenox is telling, but for me, he should have a time out of maximum one minute

I've had Trupanion for a few months now and only have had to make two small claims. However, both were handled really quick and the people I talked to in their claims department were really friendly!
Pros: Covers expensive accidents and illnesses

I've looked at many forums but still my Mac will not print on the PC.
The print jobs always appear in the queue but then disappear without printing.
Is it a file format / encoding issue ?
I've downloaded drivers for RICOH on OSX 10.7, installed them too.
The Mac can see the printer being shared on the network.
Any ideas ?
Please help as I need this for my job.

Return of the Giant Jellyfish
- Uploaded by NamelessGhoul on Sep 16, 2008
- Views: 666
Manabu Nakamata, a 38-year-old diver from Nagoya and an admirer of the monster jellyfish, says, â??They are surprisingly hard to the touch. They are big, and extremely impressive.â? Big indeed â?? Echizen kurage can grow up to 2 meters (6 ft. 7 in.) in diameter and weigh up to 200 kilograms (440 lb.) each.
The local fishermen, however, are not impressed. Each year, the giant jellyfish wreak havoc on the fishing industry by destroying nets and crushing, poisoning and sliming other fish in the catches. In the latest move in the war on jellyfish, Fukui prefecture is developing new and efficient weapons designed to pulverize those that threaten their shores.

powered by AFI
Rose-Marie, belle of a Canadian trading post, loves Jim Kenyon, an outlaw trapper wanted for murder by Northwest Mountie Sergeant Malone. To save Kenyon from being exposed by her father, Rose Marie marries Étienne Duray, a Frenchman of means. Kenyon rescues Rose-Marie and Étienne (badly injured) when their canoe capsizes in the river and takes them to a nearby cabin. Malone arrives, still on Kenyon's trail, followed by Black Bastien, Malone's escaped prisoner--another suspect, who murdered an Indian and a town constable. The situation is resolved when Kenyon stabs the evil Black Bastien to prevent him from attacking Rose-Marie, and Étienne dies of a broken back, leaving Rose-Marie and Kenyon to their happiness.

Temryuk Things to Do
Temryuk, unknown to the outside world
Non-Russians obviously never heared about Temryuk, but this sunny Southern town situated on the Azov Sea attracts many Russians (most of the time not the richest, but definately not the poorest) to it's vicinity. The town offers some attractions, but is especially famous for it's sandy beaches (actually it is shell graines) and wine.more
Centre of a widely spread town
Yemryuk is spread out over many dozains of kilometres and the actual centre is divided in two parts. The "Morport" (sea harbour) can be seen as the centre of industrial and economical activity, while the other centre is situated on top of a hill, looking out over the sea, the "Lemans" (coastal lakes) and the green village-like parts of the town....more
The beaches along the Sea of Azov
Tourism, especialy on the countryside of Russia, is still in an early developing face. Only Black Sea coast and the two capitols (Moskwa and Saint Petersburg) know it for longer time. The Russians standards as well are not to be compared with European, North American or Asian standards. Along the Sea of Azov campings and bungalowparcs are emerging,...more
Temryuk Restaurants
Uncle Sasha's place ...: The best "Shasliek" we've had in 2002
With explicit explanation about how a real home-shasliek-barbecue worked we were chatting inthe darkness and roasting the meat. A whole bottle of excellent local red wine was used to marinade the porcmeat and to spray continuously over the fire. With an deliscious fresh sald and many other extra garnitures this home-shasliek was the best that we had. I definately will try to introduce it in Arnhem next summer.
Favorite Dish: Temryuk, positioned in the North-Eastern triangle of the Russian winedistrict and surrounded by lemans (lagune-lakes), swamparea and the Azov Sea has a very specific juicy grape (what do you want with all this water). With many hours of sun the fruity taste is making the wine from this region sweet. Especially the local Cabernet is recommended.
Temryuk Transportation
Old busses, or hired chauffeur with car
Though this area is more or less enclosed by (irregular) busslines, best way to see it is to rent a chauffeur and car. Most of them will also have inside information about touristic points and tell you about it when you get there. These cars can variate from small busses to economy cars, but are well maintained and mostly modern. That is something that you cannot say about the public busses. (-:
A, don't get fooled by the picture as there are not many trainconnections to Temryuk (it is an old red-army train from the second worldwar at a large blue-line-memorial - on the background is a MIG, though somewhat strange as they didn't excist in 1945).
Temryuk Local Customs
Temryuk, deliscious wines from Russia
Temryuk is situated in the part of Russia that produces wine. Fanagoria is one of the wines that comes from the wineyards that are between Anapa and Temryuk and is truely very sweet, sunny, fruity and ... mjammi.more
Pioneer camps, summer camps for the...
In the Sowjet period children were often send to summer camps in the three months of summer holiday that schools have in Russia. This still is done frequently and "the South" is (due to the availability of warm weather and of course the sea) very popular. Along the coastline are many pioneer camps and the beaches are often filled with groups of...more
Pay respect to fallen soldiers and enjoy...
In Temryuk on the sides of a hill along the main road is a memorial. Through here the blue line stood against the Nazi push towards the Black Sea harbours. With enormous tole in casualties the Russians kept them away and in these surroundings every little village has it's larger or smaller memorial. On the hill in Temryuk are several old tanks,...more
Temryuk Warnings and Dangers
Poverty and ineffective use of means
Well, though it is a Russian thing, in the countryside it appears to be even worse then in the town (but this might also have to do because of my work in agricultural sector in the Netherlands). Temryuk is a rural society on the countryside. With it's harbour one would suggest that distribution of the enormous potential in agrar-production, Temryuk would prosper and grow. But no, the absolute ineffective way of thinking takes care of a sole use of soil and surroundings in a selfcontaining way. Only wine is produced in a somewhat larger scale, but this too ... could be a product that has the potential to be export-valued. Especially for me with family living here and with the wish to see Russia grow into an important economic power, quite painful. For people and visitors like me, try to overcome the sadness and enjoy the things that are charging you positively.
Temryuk Off The Beaten Path
Very peculiar ... the mud volcanoes
Besides the fact that for foreigners a visit to this part of Russia is already totally "off the beaten track", there is also a little secret here that is only recently exploited as touristic attraction, namely: Mud Volcanoes.
Underneath the Kuban region is the largest subterranean sweetwater deposit of Europe. It runs down from the Caucasus mountainrange to the coasts of Black Sea and Sea of Azov. In the lowest plains the upwards pressure is increased by the salty seawater and a upward push is realised. In some places the water pushes through soft sandy and clay layers and here form mud- volcanoes. Some are realy big hills, others more form higher area's with some little volcanoes on top of the new plain (picture). The mud is faintly smelling oily and is cold (there is nothing thermic creating this phenomena). A very peculiar natural wonder, which changes the landscape here slowly.
Temryuk Favorites
Warm welcome by the Temryuk clan
Favorite thing: First reason to go to Temryuk was of course our family. Here it is Irina's grandmother lives, in a house next to her uncle and aunt. For her and Ilja it was a very special meeting, as where do you still find great-grandmothers (in Western Europe this is getting very seldom). We were welcomed very warmheartedly and they showed us Temryuk and wide surroundings. Uncle Alexander Sergjevitsj had many great stories about his hunting-adventures and presented us a speciality of him: ducksoup and roasted duck (with a lot of garlic).
Fondest memory: Another night we had a deliscious "shasliek" (bbq) in which the already juicy porcmeat was drenched in local red wine. When I think back to it ... water again runs in my mouth.Related to:

Tuesday 1st December 2015 - Motu2Motu Aitutaki Celebrates its 5th Birthday
Motu2Motu is now an established international paddling event. Come find out what the fuss is about!
2011 saw the creation of what was only a simple idea of seeing the Aitutaki Lagoon from a different perspective and making a race of it. From that idea Motu2Motu was born.
What better way to finish your 2015 Vaka Eiva campaign and trip to the Cook Islands than visiting beautiful Aitutaki and racing M2M!
36kms, 7 legs, 6 changeovers, mixed crews of 12, 1 awesome day. In 2011 17 international paddlers participated in our first race, 2012 and 2013 saw the event grow bigger and better each time and the 2014 event was our "feel good" event with many commenting 2014, "the best Motu2Motu yet"
Motu2Motu Aitutaki is the perfect changeover race for novices. Could there be a more perfect place for your first ever international changeover race?...... we think not.
Check out our details page for more information for Motu2Motu Aitutaki 2015
2015 will be our 5th Birthday we would love to have you celebrate our birthday with us.
Come and race on the world's most beautiful lagoon!

The Texas Vaccines for Children (TVFC) Program was notified on November 30, 2015, by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention regarding a temporary manufacturing delay of Sanofi Pastuer's Pentacel® vaccine (Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoids and Acellular Pertussis Adsorbed, Inactivated Poliovirus and Haemophilus b Conjugate Vaccine). The vaccine delay will result in immediate vaccine allocation of this project to all VFC programs nationwide. The vaccine delay is anticipated to last through the summer of 2016.
In order to ensure that all TVFC providers have access to this vaccine over the next few months, TVFC provider Maximum Stock Levels (MSLs) for Pentacel® will be reduced immediately. However, further vaccine allocation reductions could be implemented based on manufacture and CDC guidance.
Options to reduce the use of Pentacel® include the use of single vaccines for some populations and the use of alternative combination vaccines. Providers should continue to follow the recommended immunization schedule and ensure that patients receive all recommended doses of DTaP, Hib, and polio vaccines.
For additional information, please see the following documents:
January is Cervical Health Awareness Month. Each year, an estimated 12,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer, and, of those, about one-third will die as a result of the cancer. In Texas, over 1,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year. Cervical cancer is highly preventable because screening tests for cervical cancer and vaccines to prevent human papillomavirus (HPV), which is the main cause of cervical cancer, are available. To help prevent cervical cancer, vaccines are available to prevent HPV infection. Boys and girls should get all three doses of HPV vaccine when they are 11 or 12 years old. Make an appointment today to get your child vaccinated against HPV.
One of the strategies for increasing adult immunization rates, both nationally and in Texas, is to have standing orders implemented with your medical practice. In February, the Immunization Action Coalition will be hosting three four-hour workshops in Texas. The workshops will provide information on the benefits of having standing orders implemented and how they can be implemented in a healthcare provider's office. The DSHS Immunization Branch encourages healthcare providers (clinicians, nurses, and clinical managers) serving adult clients to attend the free workshops.
The workshops will provide a great opportunity to meet and interact with nationally recognized speakers in adult immunizations:
The workshops will be in the following locations:

As I have explained this book naturally follows from the earlier ones. But it also depends upon a number of other factors.
A series of speaking invitations have been especially important in its development. These include three keynote lectures that I have given to the most recent biennial meetings of the Chinese Medical Association (Anatomy Section) at the invitation of Professor Wu Rukang. They also include two series of lectures on the evolution of hominids and hominoids, first in the Department of Anatomy, Hong Kong University, under successive heads, Professors Peter Lisowski and Brian Weatherhead, and second in the Department of Anatomy, St Andrews University, Scotland, under the headship of Professor David Brynmor Thomas. And they include, finally and most recently, the first Distinguished Faculty Lecture in the Graduate School at the University of Southern California.
These ideas also owe much of their development to a series of invited papers that have been part of the thinking process. These include a contribution entitled 'Hominoids and Hominids, Lineages and Radiations' published in the volume Past Present and Future of Hominid Evolution edited by Professor Philip Tobias, and arising from the Taung Diamond Jubilee International Scientific Symposium. They also include a chapter entitled 'Comparative Anatomy of the Primates: Old and New' in Comparative Primate Biology, Volume I: Systematics, Evolution and Anatomy edited by Professor Daris R. Swindler. And they include, most recently, a chapter entitled 'Evolutionary Radiations in Humans and Great Apes: Some Quantitative Evidence' in Perspectives in Primate Biology, edited by Professors P. K. Seth and S. Seth.
Because I am not myself a statistician, I must especially acknowledge the help and collaboration that I have received from a number of statisticians over the years who have especial expertise in this area (Professors Michael Healy, Roger Flinn, Peter Neeley, Paul Meier, David Wallace and William Kruskal). In addition to such personal discussion and help in the statistical area, I have also felt it most important to 'put my head in the lion's mouth' by accepting every invitation to present these studies in departments of statistics. In this regard, the Department of Statistics at the University of Chicago has been especially important through its invitations to me over the years. In more recent times, the Department of Statistics and its head, Professor John Aitchison of the University of Hong Kong, and the Department of Statistics and its head, Professor Michael Healy of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, have likewise provided critical comment. Most recently of all have been invitations to speak, by mathematicians Professors Michael Waterman and Robert Guralnick, both at the University of Southern California, and by statistician Professor Paul Sampson of the University of Washington (who invited me to participate in a symposium on morphometrics at the joint meeting of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and the Biometric Society at Utah State University, Logan, in 1984).
Another kind of lecture participation has also been especially helpful. Those undergraduate, graduate, and medical students and faculty at the Universities of Chicago and Southern California who have suffered my lectures on The Analysis of Biological Form and Pattern, The Order of the Primates, Animal Mechanics, and The Human Place in Primate Evolution have contributed to this book in a manner that continually emphasizes to me the very close relationship and interaction that there is between teaching and research. These participations have been further augmented by invitations from individuals such as Professors Michael Waterman (in a course on Evolutionary Biology, Department of Biological Sciences), Joan Walker (in courses on Biomechanics in the Department of Physical Therapy), Suzanne Engler (in a course on An Introduction to Human Evolution, Department of Anthropology) and Walter Williams in a course on the study of women and men in society, all at the University of Southern California. These have allowed me to make contributions to teaching courses that emphasized new research results and directions as well as the broad general picture.
This interplay between research and teaching has, in recent years, been central in my enjoyment of academic life. In particular, the teaching has

We all like the filthy talk that people like Jenna Haze have made into an art form, but equally sexy is a stream of consciousness type of mumbling that suggests the person in question is so drunk on lust they don't know what they're saying. That's very hot to me because it pretty much lets me know you're totally into a scene. As Goldie Hawn once said in Private Benjamin "I don't know my own name in the height of passion, much less military secrets" Dana Dearmond does this and has admitted she has no memory of what she says during a scene and recently in Big Wet Asses #15 Kimberly Kane blurts out, "I want you to come in my ass. I don't know if you can, but that's just how I feel." Smoking. Hot.
Anyone else who does this?

Take pretty jars from Tombow and turn them into lovely holiday decorations. These Christmas Spirit Jars make for great gifts. Put anything you wish inside or just make the jar itself the gift.
- Glass jars
- Two-sided decorative paper from Graphic 45, Christmas Past Collection. The samples used Jolly Old St. Nicholas and Letters to Santa
- Tombow MONO Clear Adhesive
- Tombow MONO Multi Liquid Glue
- Chandelier crystals
- Decorative ribbons and trims to match
- Thin gold cord
- Sandpaper
- Rhinestones
Tools: Paper trimmer, scallop edged decorative scissors, circle punches
- Cut paper strips to fit around the jar bases.
- Distress the edges of the paper with the sandpaper and use the Clear adhesive to attach to the jars.
- I used computer-generated sayings cut into strips and adhered with the Clear adhesive to add the journaling to the jars.
- For the lid tops, circle punch out chosen motifs and adhere to scalloped edged panels to fit the jar top. Use the Clear adhesive to glue the panels together and to the jar. Glue the rhinestones to the jars using MONO Multi glue.
- Cut out a motif in the shape of the chandelier crystal and glue to the back using the MONO Multi glue. Let dry then use a pin to re-open the hole and string onto gold cord.
- Tie the crystals around the neck of the jar and then the decorative ribbons and trims.
- Finish the jars by placing the ribbon and jewels inside.
Item ideas for inside of jars: Wide pleated ribbon, old jewelry pieces, crystal beads, silver charms.

Encompassing over an acre, the Lost Coast Brewery Native Plant Garden (NPG) is a central educational and display component of the Humboldt Botanical Garden. The NPG emphasizes plants native to northwest California and southwest Oregon, from San Francisco Bay north to the Rogue River, and inland along a south-north line which runs generally from Vacaville through Williams, Redding, Yreka, and Medford. The NPG also includes limited examples of plants from the greater California Floristic Province as an opportunity to illustrate the remarkable diversity of California's native flora. In doing so, we are able to showcase a palette of particularly interesting California and southern Oregon native plants which perform well in our sometimes challenging north coast climate and soil conditions.
The changing seasons make it especially worthwhile to visit the Garden throughout the year. For a current seasonal description of the Lost Coast Brewery NPG, see Jan, Feb, 2016 in the Lost Coast Brewery Native Plant Garden by Mark Moore, Volunteer Curator of the LCBNPG.

These resource-conserving benefits, along with low maintenance requirements will be emphasized in future native plant horticulture, identification, and landscape design classes as part of the HBG Education Series.

Analyzing the Retail Stock Bubble
(UA) ($58.08): I originally thought that the UA bubble popped in June/July when the stock declined from $53.93 to $44.07, but the MOJO returned to a higher all-time high at $60.96 on Sept 14. The stock is above its 200-day SMA at $49.03. The weekly chart is neutral but shifts to negative on a close this week below the five-week MMA at $56.40 with the 200-week SMA at $27.57. Investors and traders should employ a "buy and trade" strategy between the value level and risky level. Since I profiled Under Armour on June 26 in Retail Bubble Stocks Are Vulnerable the stock had a 2-for-1 split, and could have been bought at the weekly value level at a split-adjusted level of $47.90.Wal-Mart Stores (WMT - Get Report) ($76.91) set an all-time high at $77.60 on Oct. 16 and is well above its 200-day SMA at $66.18 as this bubble continues to inflate. The weekly chart is in bubble territory with overbought MOJO and the five-week MMA at $74.62 and the 200-week SMA at $55.54. I do not show a risky level at this time.

Saturday, November 24, 2012
Today I finally caught up on my SparkPeople emails, so I went to my Steve Pavlina emails and tried to get through them. They are article-heavy, so it takes quite a bit of time to read each one. The ones I've been reading are for his "passive income series."
Anyway, he is talking about creating passive income, which is income that you don't have to spend an inordinate amount of time on, like rental income, or royalties. I just started reading it because it was in the email he sent me; I'd never considered passive income. I'm pretty satisfied with my field and enjoy the interactions I have with people as I work for "active income."
So I started to get a little sucked in; I mean, passive income sounds like a lot of fun, like, you don't have to get up and schlep to work. Checks just, like, come in the mail. How cool is that?
So he says you must set a passive income goal, and then you have to build in consequences for not meeting your goal, so I wrote down this very tiiiiiny passive income goal, but then he wanted me to build in consequences, and I realized my heart really wasn't in it. I didn't want to be the person he referred to in this blog:
, reading for entertainment's sake or looking for information to apply later. He didn't seem to appreciate those readers, but that's really what I am. I mean, if you look at the dates on these articles, you'll see that I wasn't exactly hanging on to his every word and waiting with bated breath for his next installment.
So I was reading this article:
, and I don't really want to focus on passive income right now (which is OKAY). But I realized that I could use many of the things he is saying to create a skinnier BeatleTot as well. The article spoke to me in a lot of ways, like with the sticky notes in places you'll see them idea. I find this idea cheesy and didn't see how it could work, until I read, "Even if I don�t acknowledge it consciously, my subconscious mind will be exposed to this goal repeatedly."
And: "Many people lose sight of their new goals within a week after setting them. They get sucked into various distractions, and the goal doesn�t take root. To prevent your goal from fizzling out, you have to keep giving it some attention, just as you would keep watering a plant."
Two very good reasons to put my goal out there.
An argument for creating consequences: "if you�re not willing to do anything of the sort, then how committed are you really? If you�re committed to your goal, then it shouldn�t be a big deal to line up some extra sting for failure."
He also suggests "positive stress," such as, "You can do a lot with a short status update on your favorite social media site, such as by promising a negative consequence if you fail to achieve your goal by your deadline."
And finally, says, "If you decide to skip this step, my honest expectation is that you will fail to achieve your goal. If you make it easy and safe to fail, you probably will."
It's something I have to give a bit of thought. Any stings for failure you guys have to suggest, I'm open to them. I am going to set a goal for myself beginning December 3rd, after my husband leaves me alone in Indiana. I'm going to be in a new environment with the only distractions being new ones I allow in. It's like putting the toothpaste back in the tube or horses back in the barn or whatever such idiom means it's harder to improve things than to just have them be right in the first place. So be on the lookout...a goal is forming quickly in my mind, and I'm going to post it in short order!
And check him out. He's good.

While I can now add a new contact from any device and see it pretty quickly and automatically on any other device (including my iMac), there are some differences between my iMac address book and the cloud and I don't know how to resolve them. There are both contacts on the iMac that aren't in the cloud and vice versa.
As mentioned I could add a contact to my iMac today and it shows up on all other devices. Likewise if I add a contact on my iPad it makes it's way to my iMac. But how do I get the cloud and my iMac address book to identify and resolve these discrepancies between the iMac address book and the cloud? I noticed the discrepancy because my wife's in my iMac address book but not in the cloud. I then skimmed through the list and I am noting discrepancies going both ways.
If no one knows how to do that, how can I export my Apple address book so I can isolate the discrepancies in MS Access? The only export format I see appears to only allow you to open it again in the address book.

Many districts restoring previously cut days, seeing finances improve after state's prolonged budget woes
Minimum number of instructional days per year. Many districts are restoring the number to 180.
Most local students returning to school are finding a fuller instructional year ahead of them, and educators are expressing more optimism about finances after years of budget challenges.
"This is a step in the right direction," said Linda Zintz, communications chief for the San Diego Unified School District, where the academic year will begin Sept. 3. Other districts resumed classes in July or are doing so this month.
Zintz said San Diego Unified trimmed five days off the 180-day school calendar three years ago to help balance its budget. Three of those days have been reinstated for the new school year, thanks to money from Proposition 30, an initiative that California voters passed in November to raise taxes largely to boost education funding.
Other districts across San Diego County are canceling furlough days or have been able to avoid them altogether because of Proposition 30, and almost all now have a 180-day instructional calendar.
"I think what we're doing and what other districts are doing is just trying to stabilize at this point," Zintz said, adding that San Diego Unified officials hope to restore all five lost days in the 2014-15 school year.
Manny Rubio, spokesman for the Sweetwater Union High School District, also doesn't see anyone going on a spending spree with the new funds. The Sweetwater school year started July 24.
"The state's been digging a hole for a long time," he said, recalling an analogy from former district chief financial officer Rick Knott. "The only thing Prop. 30 did was stop the digging. It doesn't mean we're out of the hole."
Some districts, including Sweetwater and Carlsbad Unified, had planned to institute furlough days in 2013-14 if the proposition failed. In Sweetwater's case, Rubio said teachers would have taken 14 furlough days, and administrators would have taken 13. Sweetwater's school year was 179 days last year and will be 180 this year.
Two districts in the county — Coronado Unified and Ramona Unified — have the fewest instructional days this academic year at 175, the minimum required by the state.
In Coronado, Superintendent Jeffrey Felix said all district employees had taken six to nine unpaid days off during each of the past three years.
Felix said for this school year, the district decided to keep the instructional calendar at 175 days and spend the Proposition 30 money on professional development for teachers. He said the school board wanted to help teachers prepare for the new national testing standards called Common Core.
"Next year, we have every intention of returning to 180 student days," Felix said.
For Ramona Unified, Superintendent Robert Graeff said teachers will take five furlough days in 2013-14. The district is struggling financially in part because enrollment has declined for 13 years, dropping from 7,200 students to a projected 5,700 in the school year that will open Monday, he said.
Besides lower enrollment, the district is feeling the financial pains of using its general fund to pay back a $25 million loan to expand and build campuses, Graeff said. On a bright note, the superintendent expects the new school year to start with peace between labor groups and administration after a period when teachers had considered striking.
Bonsall Union School District was one of the first in the county to have furlough days in recent years, and Superintendent Justin Cunningham credited employee unions with working cooperatively with administrators to get through the tough time.
"One of the trends I noticed was that everybody got cut, and if you didn't take a hit early, you were going to take it later," Cunningham said about the decision to ask for concessions.
Bonsall district workers agreed to 10 furlough days during the past two years and were prepared to give five more had Proposition 30 not passed, he said. With the initiative's success, the new school year will go back up to 180 days beginning Monday.
In addition to Proposition 30 money, many school districts in the county qualify for other dollars through the state's new local control funding formula, which provides additional funds to districts with high numbers of students who are disadvantaged or are learning English as a second language.
Most districts in the county said it's too soon to tell how much they could receive from the new formula. Cunningham said it's especially hard to predict in Bonsall, which is transitioning into a unified district format — and that involves a different funding calculation.
Despite the still-fragile economy, some districts are undergoing construction projects this year.
The San Dieguito Union High School District is installing artificial turf at San Dieguito Academy and artificial turf and a new track at Canyon Crest Academy, where preparation is being made for a middle school to be built next door.
The first phase of the new San Marcos High will open this year, Escondido Union High School District will inaugurate Del Lago Academy, and Carlsbad Unified will start using Sage Creek High.
San Diego Unified will break ground on Salk Elementary School in Mira Mesa in September, the same month that e3 Civic High will open in downtown San Diego's new Central Library.
Aside from construction projects and funding discussions, many districts are increasing their use of technology in the new school year.
At Encinitas Union, Superintendent Tim Baird said the district will be one of the first in the state to implement a one-to-one iPad program for every grade. All students in grades three through six already have the tablets, and this year iPads will be given to students in kindergarten through second grade as well.
For Sweetwater, Rubio said the district will expand the iPad program it started last year, when 6,000 of the devices were distributed to all seventh graders. During the 2013-14 academic year, he said, about 13,000 iPads will be in students' hands.
