Posted one year ago
Tags: Mac Miller , Hitmaker , Indie
Pete Rock
Like most flicks, Mac Miller's sophomore set, Watching Movies With the Sound Off, had a few scenes left on the cutting room floor. Today, the Pittsburgh indie phenom unveils one such outtake, a collaborative cut by the name of Melt. Hip-hop vet Pete Rock handles production duties on this atmospheric jam, crafting a head-noddable, sampled backdrop (complete with soothing rainfall sound effects) for bars by Miller and West Coast phenom ScHoolboy Q. This unreleased joint is just a loosie but, rest assured, we'll keep you posted on Mac's plans as further details emerge.

Are You Willing to Go This Far to Dodge the Line at Nathan's?
If you don't mind infrared technology on your hot dog.
We weren't able to try one of these $3 kosher hot dogs since the vending machine we encountered off the Coney Island boardwalk — that's right, a hot-dog vending machine — was empty. Which just goes to show how many people are willing to pass up the goodness of Nathan's for something that's grilled in seconds using infrared technology (funny enough, the machine is poised right between the two Nathan's locations). According to a Times piece about these scary things and their creator Ruby Azrak (also head of Beyoncé's clothing line), the hot dogs are sometimes in the machine for 21 days at a time. But whatevs! The option is there next time you're too loaded on piña-colada beakers to care.

Hello dear parents,
My son is 8 and in third grade. He is a very bright child and he loves math and science. He has been in math enrichment program since kindergarten. But writing for him is like a torture. It does not matter what kind of writing it is he just doesnt want to do it (of course he does it at the end). His teacher has talked to me and mentioned that when it comes to math he does great but when it comes to writing its like he's not even in the class and he has no clue what to write about. She also says that he is very unorganized and a lot of times distracted. They asked me if its ok to bring it up in a child study group to see what they can do about this and also do a Conners Scale test which I agreed to. I just found out that this is to find out if he has attention problems. What should I do now? They havent evaluate him yet. But it doesnt make sense to me that if he is doing great in every other subjet how can he have attention problem in writing. Should I hire an advocate to come to school with me in those meetings with child study group? Or should just first wait and see what they tell me next? Pleaes help.

Gospel Reading: Lk 12:54-59
Jesus said to the crowds, "When you see [a] cloud rising in the west you say immediately that it is going to rain — and so it does; and when you notice that the wind is blowing from the south you say that it is going to be hot — and so it is. You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky; why do you not know how to interpret the present time?
"Why do you not judge for yourselves what is right? If you are to go with your opponent before a magistrate, make an effort to settle the matter on the way; otherwise your opponent will turn you over to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the constable, and the constable throw you into prison. I say to you, you will not be released until you have paid the last penny."
Judge for yourselves what is right. Jesus calls for a decision regarding himself and his message. But the Pharisees do not accept him because of their hypocrisy, while the crowds do not make a decision for him. In routine human affairs, even ordinary people can make decisions when it matters. But when it comes to Jesus, they seem unable to read the "signs of the times" pointing to the rightness of Jesus' claims and words.
When confronted with Christ and his words, we have to make a decision. He already said, "Whoever is not with me is against me" (Lk 11:23). Many of us, however, confronted with the invitation and grace of Christ, still say, like the young Augustine, "Yes, Lord… but not yet!"
"Oh, that today you would hear his voice:/ Do not harden your hearts…" (Ps 95:7-8).

In Unova, N sets out to write the wrongs of the entire concept of capturing Pokemon and forcing them to battle for our own selfish needs, and a very fine example of the Stolkholm syndrome. In Soviet Russia, Pokemon are more hostile as they capture N and force him to do their battling for their selfish needs. The fights wear N's will down before he becomes an obedient drone just like everyone else in the pokeworld. In short, in soviet russia, pokemon play "HUMANS! RUBY VERSION!"
My Chainsaw Meowth is currently missing! If you have a lead or think you know something,
I am desperately searching, and I dread the possibility that I may never find him...
On a side note, if anybody can answer the following question right, then they get a mystery prize! *Must have a Gen V game to claim prize*
Question: What the heck did Jinora do in the finale?! I don't get it! I know 90% of you won't know what I'm talking about, but I need an answer!

Corporate-Owned Real Estate Represents a Substantial Investment Universe
Roulac, Stephen E., Journal of Real Estate Portfolio Management
Executive Summary. Corporate-owned real estate is a much more significant component of the real estate investment universe than is broadly recognized. In this article the results of recent research concerning the magnitude of the investment universe represented by corporate-owned real estate is presented, and the implications of the significance of corporate real estate for institutional investors are explored. Corporate-owned real estate incorporates significant types of properties that are not generally perceived as part of the mainstream real estate sector. While some 50% of corporate-owned real estate is specialized and therefore not appropriate for third-party investment by institutional investors, nearly 40% of the aggregate of corporate-owned real estate is core business real estate appropriate for institutional investors. The investable universe of $3.7 trillion of corporate-owned real estate represents a major source of property investments for institutional investors seeking involvement in the real estate market.
Corporate-owned real estate is a much more significant component of the real estate investment universe than is broadly recognized. Because the majority of institutional investors in real estate have only limited and often less-than-accurate knowledge of the scale and significance of corporate-owned real estate, they may make investing decisions that are sub-optimal and/or forego opportunities that could be realized with more knowledge. In this article the results of recent research concerning the magnitude of the investment universe represented by corporate-owned real estate is presented, and the implications of the significance of corporate real estate for institutional investors are explored.
Many others beyond investors can benefit from this knowledge as well. Corporate-owned real estate is a veritable massive "iceberg below the water line." It represents substantial demand for property goods and services by corporations in connection with their properties. Other participants in the real estate market can make more informed strategies and decisions with this knowledge. Professionals providing services to the real estate markets can better understand the overall source of demand for property professional services. Those property market participants-including developers, and those associated with the building development process; lenders, including both those originating loans and those investing in loans; appraisers and market analysts, concerned with understanding influences on property prices and demand-may benefit from more knowledge and a deeper understanding of the significance of corporate real estate.
Some real estate principles textbooks and some real estate financing textbooks include coverage of the corporation's lease-buy decision, concerning whether the corporation should commit capital and take on all of the associated responsibilities of owning a property, or alternatively, leasing the property from a third party property owner. Such coverage of the lease-buy decision in real estate textbooks and the research literature is devoted to consideration of the relative advantages and disadvantages of leasing, as contrasted to owning, real estate occupied by the business, as well as the analytic methodologies that might be employed to evaluate the relative appeal of owning versus leasing real estate.
Not considered in either the real estate research literature or real estate textbooks are the aggregated consequences of the lease-or-buy decision. Also not addressed are the empirical outcomes of these decisions, such as how much property is leased and how much is owned. Instead, the treatment of the lease-or-buy decision is predominantly analytic and methodological, rather than empirical.
Corporate real estate as a subject has been underresearched relative to other aspects of real estate (Roulac and Manning, 1999). Notably, in the 1990s there was a decline in the real estate academy's attention to corporate real estate (Manning and Roulac, 1999), even though the significance of corporate real estate was profound (Roulac, 2001). …

Sealing the concrete surfaces in your basement will keep back moisture penetration through the pores of the concrete. But some products work better than others, and some are better in particular situations. This article covers the three most common ways of sealing a basement: waterpoof paint, plastic vapor barriers, and concrete sealers. read more
Concrete Treat recently paid a visit to Menke Bros. (Fort Jennings, OH) to check out their facility in person. We were immediately […] read more
Dear PPK, Inc.,
This product will enhance your outcome. We have used Concrete Treat for over four years. We've sprayed Concrete Treat on hundreds of thousands of square feet of steel-troweled concrete that was poured between December and February in Ohio.
One project (our first experience with Concrete Treat) was a 10,000 square-foot steel -troweled floor, and we poured it in late December. Due to permit issues, the building was not erected until two months after the slab was poured. We sprayed Concrete Treat on it and never put insulating blankets on it. The average temperature was 28 degrees Fahrenheit during that time period and there was no spalling or popping on the entire slab.
It has been over four years since, and the slab looks as good as it did the day we poured it. Our insulated concrete blankets are now a thing of the past. We use Concrete Treat to protect all our flatwork from the unpredictable Ohio winters. What I have seen Concrete Treat do is impressive!
I am blown away by the effectiveness of Concrete Treat. We applied this product to every breezeway, walkway, and staircase in a brand-new 216-unit apartment complex in Happy Valley, OR.
The trick to our situation was we had residents already living in the units so we needed a fast-drying, yet still effective sealant. Concrete Treat met the expectations and then some! The application process was simple – more simple than any other concrete sealer I have ever tried. The dry time was about 30 minutes in 76 degree (F) weather and about an hour in 65 degrees. We had foot traffic in 2 hours and rain in 18 but the sealant held up and is still holding strong! The product is so effective it even repels itself if you accidentally try and reapply in an area.
Within the first couple of weeks a resident let their dog pee in the breezeway. It all just beaded up and stood there until I found it and dried it up about 2 hours later. Disgusting story, I know, but it shows how wonderful this product is! Unlike other sealants, Concrete Treat does not make the surface slippery when wet, so we confidently applied to every stair tread in the complex.
Honestly I am waiting for something to go wrong with the product, but it keeps proving itself to be the most effective concrete sealant every single day.
Your product is everything it is portrayed to be. It went on easily with a garden sprayer, sealed the entire floor to the point that water moved like beads of mercury. Amazing. We were careful with the prep, since it was an eight year old floor and had spots on it of ? – mostly coolant, oil, etc. We used a steam cleaner on all spots with vinegar water to assist. All spots sealed perfectly. We waited 24 hours as a precaution before moving machinery, but rollers, sliding, etc. all went easily and left no marks. We are pleased and impressed…"
We have used this product on several projects where the homeowner has concerns over the damp spots where the new concrete has not fully cured. Rather than asking the homeowner to give it the proper time to cure, we have your product. The dampness goes away quickly and the homeowner is happy. Great product! We will continue to use Concrete Treat and tell others about it.
It makes perfect sense. No more wasted time installing and retrieving blankets.
I can treat as soon as concrete is placed. I don't have to make a trip back to seal the job– that's a winner!
I love this sealer! Water beads up and its exactly what i wanted!
I love this stuff!
The results were quite remarkable!

SINGAPORE — Born in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia in 1950, Exhibitor of the Year Choo Meileen's heritage says much about the person she is today.Her grandfather Loke Yew came to Singapore as a penniless 13-year-old from southern China. Having managed to finally save up $99, he sought his fortune in the tin mines of Malaya — upon his death in 1917, he was one of the country's richest men. But it is Choo's grandmother Cheng Kim who set the precedent for strong women in the family. "In 1936, our late grandmother, Mrs. Loke Yew, who was then a young widow, purchased the land to construct Singapore's first 16-story skyscraper. It was a momentous decision for a time when many women were still unschooled and mere housewives. She certainly set the example for the women in the Loke family to follow. The Cathay Building and its attendant cinema were, respectively, the first skyscraper and air-conditioned cinema in Singapore," according to Choo. Choo's own career within the Cathay Organisation started in 1976 as assistant film distribution manager, becoming chairman and CEO in 1985. She successfully listed the Cathay Organisation Group of Cos. on the Singapore Stock Exchange in 1998. The group not only manages cineplexes and distributes films, but develops and manages properties such as hotels and residences. Her ambitions are to make a feature film about the Chinese "coolies" in Cuba and to write a novel — if and when she eventually retires. Choo is also an avid and passionate custodian of her family's archives and history.

Goodbye stuffy, boring museum. History is coming alive in Johnson County.
At a history-themed camp, youngsters can learn to play a dulcimer or make a bonnet. They can tour a log cabin that was home to an affluent pioneer family in Franklin or try on clothing a child in the Victorian era would have worn.
Staff at the Johnson County Museum of History are trying to show a new generation of kids that history is relevant and fun.
With an aging membership at the museum and with the challenge of making sure residents know that the museum even exists, programming, special events and displays are being designed with a younger crowd in mind, museum director Brenna Cundiff said.
"Kids learn better if they are participating, " she said. "We don't want to be a stodgy old museum."
First, families have to know that the museum exists and is available, she said.
Museum membership is mostly made up of senior citizens who visit the museum in some cases to see their personal history or look up their family's genealogy, Cundiff said.
Just a few years ago Johnson County families outside Franklin hardly knew the museum existed. She said that even Franklin residents would zoom past Main Street without knowing about the piece of history in their town.
"Traditionally (senior citizens) are the ones interested in history and genealogy," Cundiff said. "If you don't change that, that is what you are going to have."
Changes have happened gradually over the past few years with a children's history camp here and a scavenger hunt for children around the museum.
Hands-on exhibits were added, where kids can try on Victorian era clothing or make up the name of a band in a musical history of the county.
"We made the changes so we could be more attractive to families," Cundiff said.
Museum employees go to strawberry festivals and barbecue cook-offs in local communities, armed with kid's crafts to let people all across the county know they are there.
"We are doing a lot more as far as outreach," she said. "We find that many people outside of Franklin don't know that we are here."
Educational packets are sent out to teachers in the area who may not have the money in their budgets to take a field trip to the museum. Scouting groups can request that a program be tailored to their troop and what they are learning at the time of their visit.
"We truly want people to understand that history isn't just something in the past," said Goldie Jones, education coordinator at the museum. "It's not just the boring stuff that some kids think."
The start of their effort to target kids is a history camp geared at third- and fourth-graders.
Local storytellers and educators teach the kids about history using exhibits in the museum.
And the log cabin on the grounds of the museum is open more and has started attracting more families, Cundiff said.

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D Excel/CSV export/import for the product inventory page http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=27100&th=5177#msg_27100 <![CDATA[I would like to propose an Excel/CSV export/import (download/upload) functionality for the product inventory page.

 Questions and comments in this thread, please. You may vote for this proposal here.

 rationale:

 The product inventory page is basically a primitive spreadsheet with VERY limited functionality. As repeatedly mentioned in the forums, maintaining more than a few items in this pseudo-spreadsheet is a nightmare.

 The proposed export/import functionality would allow show owners to download their product inventory and load into an Excel spreadsheet for offline use, enabling all well-established spreadsheet functionality, like

 - calculations (USD <-> EUR, ex. VAT <-> incl. VAT, etc.)
 - sorting (move shop items from the bottom to the top)
 - bulk enabling/disabling materials or products
 - what-have-you ...

 The modified spreadsheet file would then be saved (in CSV-format), re-uploaded and the shop with all products would be updated in one shot.

 Possible import errors would be reported in real time after upload (no email, please!!!)

 benefit:

 This very un-cool solution
 - is comparably easy to implement and does not require a lot of fancy web-site/AJAX-programming
 - is easy to use for the majority of people who do not have API-programming skills
 - enables every shop owner to maintain his products in his preferred manner

 Discussions over slowness, markup calculation weirdness, scrollbars etc. pp. would become obsolete.
 Community members may even start sharing some of their Excel macros or alike.

 Would be glad if the csv import/export also includes
 - sorting (both interfaces are not usable)
 - adding/removing from shop sections

 Import - very troublesome. If someone adds an unexpected column or row, it could break the upload.

 i really like this idea. would take me minutes instead of hours to make changes and excel is very powerful letting us use all kinds of functions to automate pricing.

 can i suggest adding view state, and tags to the sheat. though tags need to be made pipe separated to not break columns.]]> mctrivia 2011-05-09T05:07:56-00:00 Re: Excel/CSV export/import for the product inventory page http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=27137&th=5177#msg_27137 <![CDATA[

 - all of the shop owners here (who need such a feature) have very decent computer knowledge. I trust that they can handle it.

 - nowadays, there are saver and more powerful ex-/imports than just CSV. That kind of evaluation and decision can easily be left to the developers.

 - the current product edit page is already overloaded with all kind of cool and fancy features, half a dozen of different [Save] buttons etc. etc. There are several requests out there to add more buttons and stuff which will not make it any better.

 - this proposal can be seen as an intermediate pain reliever, fairly easy to do, would give Shapeways the time to dream up a more workable shop system.

 Ever heard of Waiting for Godot ?

Import export to excel gives the most powerful options to people that are not willing to hack there own interface. And even for those of us who are it is the most convenient option. The current system needs to be changed but import/export should stay.]]> mctrivia 2011-05-09T11:54:19-00:00 Re: Excel/CSV export/import for the product inventory page http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=27145&th=5177#msg_27145 <![CDATA[Yes, would agree it is a long term necessity, not just short term fix.

 Very good input here, and I appreciate the time and creative thought being put forth!

 My developers and new designer will be working on the product markup page in the near future, right after we finish two prior tasks (an upgrade to the user experience of My Shapeways, and an upgrade to the model upload page). I think we can make major improvements to the current web page with less difficulty than this spreadsheet approach, but I'll get some specific scoping from them to be sure.

 for example what if i want the sale price of all my dice to be $9.99 or $1 profit rounded up to the nearest dollar -$0.01?

 or if i wanted the markup to be equal to cos($cost)+$cost*0.5 don't know why i would want that but i could in excel or php easily.

 api handles the php. but most i am sure would prefer excel.

 yes you need to fix the interface but the excel/csv interface is a easy implementable interface that gives the user infinit power.]]> mctrivia 2011-05-12T18:52:16-00:00 Re: Excel/CSV export/import for the product inventory page http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=27429&th=5177#msg_27429 <![CDATA[That's certainly true.

 1) API
 2) CSV
 3) Improve the current interface

 I am slowly going through all my models and placing them in sub sections so I can make it easier for people to find.

 I have 324(+-4) models at present and with the current page architecture and really slow shapeways.com ajax scripts it takes me aproximently 2 minutes per model to load, add 1 to 4 sub sections, possibly mark as visible if it was not already done and add a category if not already done. That is over 10 hours for something that with an excel interface could tke as little as 10minutes.

 This is not even changing prices on anything. Every time shapeways adds a new material it takes me ruffly 30sec per model per new material with the current architecture. That is 3 hours of my time per material added. This literly would take me only 30 seconds if the excel format was in place as I could just type in a formula and it would update every model.

 Please implement an excel interface or give me the ability to execute mySQL commands(I know you will never do that as I could do a lot of harm)

 In PHP which this site is writen in an excel interface would be so easy to implement. The fgetcsv, and fputcsv commands will easily let you convert comma delimeted values to an array and back again and handles all tricky situations like fields with comas in it for you. Taking the coma delimeted values and reinserting into the database can be relitevely easily done by having an array of what fields go where. You just need to be careful that you execute mysql_real_escape_string on all array functions before entering in database and typecast any variables that should be of a specific type. all of which can be extremely easily done with a few loops and a few arrays.

 Just make sure the CSV file contains all data on a model. On import some fields can be ignored if the data is duplicated(I.E. model price, profit margine ignore model price and use as human referance only). If you forget anything you can always add to the end of the items list. So long as you do not add to the middle it will not mess peoples templates up.]]> mctrivia 2011-06-15T16:23:35-00:00 Re: Excel/CSV export/import for the product inventory page http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=29117&th=5177#msg_29117 <![CDATA[Hi Mctrivia,

 It is a very interesting concept and I can understand the appeal. We will improve this user experience, but I cannot fit it into our top priorities right now.

 Side note--due to the slow Excel libraries for PHP, we are looking into moving to CSV for all spreadsheet functionalities on the site.

 I had to do that for the default material. It was hours(!) of work.
 I'm often wondering that only a few shop owners have this problem. In my terms it's a prio 1-2 topic (that's nearby: functionality broken in an acceptance test) since I can't spend hours maintainig the shop.

 And sorry guys if I mention that the x-th time: please try to iterate trough 50 pieces of your gallery and change the default material.

 As result I hope you will agree that there's an interface needed where such changes can be done quickly and easily.

 I VOTE FOR CSV download/upload !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 @mctrivia: maybe this can help you

 And do those people represent a large portion of total sales ? ]]> tebee 2011-06-15T18:09:42-00:00 Re: Excel/CSV export/import for the product inventory page http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=29129&th=5177#msg_29129 <![CDATA[@woody64 sorry does not help to much. AJAX calls take up the majority of time. I save a lot of load time by loading 8 tabs at a time. It is just painstakingly menotenous.

 I actually watched the entire 3rd season of whale wars while doing this just to make it more bareable. I dread every update shapeways makes as it means hours of work. Time I could be spending making more cooler designs to sell and bring in more money for myself and shapeways and making the buyer happy because they can get what they want.

 Shapeways has been spending a lot of time on making the site look nice. Great for the buyers but what about the shop owners that are bringing in the money for shapeways. The interface needs to be improved for them also before the overhead stops them from being able to work.

 This does not say you will add CSV. Large shops really need CSV. I doubt there is any interface that you would write that would do what I need. And the interface I would need probably will not match what someone else needs. CSV will let everyone do what they want.

 Again I am willing to write the code for you just send me an email with the file i requested.]]> mctrivia 2011-06-15T19:08:29-00:00 Re: Excel/CSV export/import for the product inventory page http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=29137&th=5177#msg_29137 <![CDATA[I know it only saves some time for moving the side around per hand - at least 1h work less.]]> woody64 2011-06-15T19:35:21-00:00 Re: Excel/CSV export/import for the product inventory page http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=29152&th=5177#msg_29152 <![CDATA[

I had about 60 or so models not for sale for about 8 weeks now just because I did not want to take the time needed to go through each model individually to set the price and make visible. I hoped API would let me do that but it still does not have the option to set the price per material. and CSV is still not here.

Pryor Targets Technology Advancements to Expand Education Opportunities for Minorities, Protect Children from Indecency
Senator Mark Pryor today introduced two legislative proposals targeting advances in technology as a means to enhance the positive impact of the Internet and intercept the negative influence the Internet and television can have on children.
First, Pryor introduced ED 1.0 to establish a pilot program for Historically Black Colleges and Universities, as well as Hispanic and tribal institutions of higher education, to develop online courses enabling students to earn a two- or four-year degree. Pryor said his legislation calls for a pilot program for four institutions. He envisions the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, Arkansas Baptist or Philander Smith as ideal candidates for this program. He said the pilot program could provide a national "lessons learned" about how to develop and implement flexible degree programs for other institutions.
"As HBCUs strive to benefit their surrounding communities, I want to help strengthen their capacity to reach out and educate as many students as possible," Pryor said. "Technology and online learning offers a new opportunity to help working parents and other potential students who simply don't have the time or resources to travel to and from class."
Second, Pryor introduced the Child Safe Viewing Act to expand parents' ability to protect their children from inappropriate scenes and language online, on television and other viewing devices. The Senator said his bill will require the Federal Communications Commission to fulfill its obligation under the 1996 Telecommunications Act to continuously review and implement blocking technology as it is developed. As part of the 1996 law, Congress required television manufacturers to embed the V-Chip within televisions to allow parents to filter some content according to a rating system. However, the FCC has failed to act since then.
"Today's technology to protect children from indecency goes above and beyond the capabilities of the V-Chip. And with over 500 channels and video streaming, parents could use a little help," Pryor said. "The time for the FCC to act on behalf of our children is now. My legislation will help make sure it happens."

"Puerto Iguazu, Argentina" Top 5 Page for this destination Puerto Iguazú by acemj
Puerto Iguazú Travel Guide: 196 reviews and 554 photos
The only reason I can think of to stay in Puerto Iguazu over Foz do Iguacu in Brazil is if you are unable or unwilling to get into Brazil because of visa requirements. Personally, I cannot imagine visiting the spectacular Iguassu Falls without seeing them from both the Brazilian and Argentine sides. Most visitors travel a long way to see this impressive sight, so why not bite the proverbial bullet and do what it takes to make sure your experience here is all that it can possibly be?
Other than the national park itself, I spent a grand total of about two hours in Puerto Iguazu, so I am by no means an expert on the place. However, it only takes about an hour to walk around the whole town and realize that there's not much to see here.

Great page, never heard of it. Sound like a wonderful place to check out! Very helpful information and photos. :o)
I did not stayed in Puerto Iguazú.. or did I? I spent so many hours at customs than I can consider myself a citizen!!! ;-)
the pictures of iguazu is absolutely breathtaking.. sigh! :)
So u did end up paying the US$100 (or was it US$150) visa fees! I was told by a guide who was accompanying a group just for the day! But if u are there, u have to see it :-) Guess u went up on the helicopter as well. It was all worth it, isn't it?
You had a wonderful time Mark :-) Those waterfalls are amazing :-)
You're becoming a bit of a chopp expert, Mark. Time we had a beer I think! lol The look like the most impressive falls I've ever seen and I ain't even seen 'em yet. ;)
Great pictures and excellent tips!
Great page Mark.

Program Basics
What is the Fall Product Program?
The Fall Product Program is a Council sponsored program that combines educational activities with money-earning opportunities.
Who can participate?
All GSACPC Girl Scouts at any age level are allowed to participate. Just make sure you are currently registered and if you are in a troop, make sure your troop is registered, too.

Nuevo Milenio Group
This loan is destined for diversification of products, and to invest in supplies and tools that will improve the quality of their products and help them keep up with the competition.
The fact that the members are in their fourth loan cycle with their institution is because they can count on experience in solidarity groups and they know how to administer funds. This is why the foundation offers its economic help, so they and their families can get ahead.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

NSTSE is a diagnostic test which actually helps students
improve. Unlike regular tests which try only to find out how much a child knows
(or has memorized), NSTSE measures how well a student has understood concepts
and gives detailed feedback on the same, to help them improve.
Thus NSTSE helps each student know whether he/she has
actually understood a concept early on so that immediate action can be taken.
Often students have conceptual gaps which increase as they progress and when
they reach the higher classes, they develop a "phobia" for the subject.
School tests - including board exams - tend to be
superficial, testing what children have memorised. But the important skills like
the ability to think independently and reason logically - critical in today's
world - are often not emphasised in school tests.
The focus on fundamentals is so important that when the
child finishes studies he/she will have to face the competitive world armed with
these fundamentals. Even while opting for higher studies, the student has to go
through a complete scan of what he/she knows and how much. Exams like IIT-JEE,
AIEEE, AFMC, AIIMS, GRE, GMAT, CAT etc., are so designed to test the fundamental
strength of student. Hence the need of the hour is building the fundamentals
base as strong as possible.

Welcome to the BIG weekend 2015! A charity weekend extravaganza with a difference, being held on Saturday 29th until Monday 31st August. It is three days of fun for all the family! The main events are a rocking music & beer festival, a hilariously funny variety show and a traditional country fayre, all packed into one mega weekend!
Whatever the weather you'll find entertainment for every member of the family (including the four legged variety!) with a host of exclusive events in the main marquee. There'll be great tournaments to enter like tug-of-war, bubble football and five-a-side football, adrenaline fuelled fairground rides to get your tummy going, stunt and animal shows to blow your socks off and a fabulous farmers market for you to pick up some tasty treats!
Bring along your tent and soak up the atmosphere for the whole weekend with your fellow festival goers, or simply bag yourself a single ticket to come on a specific day.
With every penny going to both locally and nationally registered charitable organisations, it is a one of a kind event, with beneficiaries including Cancer Research UK, Donna Louise Trust, Midlands Air Ambulance, East Cheshire Hospice and RHSA – Rushton Home School Association.
After a humble beginning as a country fayre 25 years ago has grown year on year into the fabulous weekend extravaganza that it is today. In that time over a whopping £130,000 has been raised by you for our very worthwhile and essential charities.
So what are you waiting for?! Get your tickets now to the hottest shows in town. Then on the weekend pack the family into the car, chuck your sleeping bags in the boot and join us for a memorable weekend of fun and laughter!

Today was my first commute of 2014 (unfortunately a number of factors made it hard or impossible to commute earlier this year). Actually first in a month considering my last day in the office for 2013 was the week before Christmas. A bit slower then normal, partially due to being a bit out of shape but also a nasty NE headwind for part of my ride.
Felt good to be on the bike, thought the temp changes, from ~43 at my house to almost 60 at the office made it interesting to keep a good temp.

you are viewing a single comment's thread.
Just thought that I would also send you a quote from the forum on the programme - This is by no means an exception."A silly programme, factually innaccurate and potentially damaging to the image of my city.There was more gun crime in gangland hotspots Northampton and Leicester than there was in Nottingham, according to the latest figures. This programme used the gun crime figures for Nottinghamshire (population over 1 million) as if they had been committed in Nottingham Cty (population 270,000). Surprise, surprise! It looks bad. Also, the prgramme distorts because of where the political boundaries are drawn. For example, Nottingham (City) does have a statistically poor educational record, because the higher-achieving schools are often located just over the "border" in the neighbouring boroughs. Unlike, say, Leeds or Birmingham, the city council boundary is drawn very tightly around the city centre and doesn't include most of suburban Nottingham.So don't let Phil and Kirstie put you off. Nottingham is a thriving, vibrant and lively place to live. I wasn't born here, didn't grow up here, but choose to live here now."

"Give me MORPHINE!!!" Top 5 Page for this destination Isla de Tenerife Packing List Tip by morgane1692
Isla de Tenerife What to Pack: 14 reviews and 7 photos
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: That was the primary thought which was running through my mind on the flight back from Tenerife to mainland Europe, as it became more and more apparent that my sunburn was a baaaad one. What a dope. I sat in the shade of the umbrella by the hotel pool for a few hours, but had neglected to use...SUNSCREEN!!! I was in misery for a few days because of this oversight. Don't you make the same idiot mistake. Bring your own SUNSCREEN. Bring it from home too, because it's three times as expensive in Europe, on the mainland as well as the island here. Use this sunscreen each and every time you are anywhere outdoors. If you think you might be needing Dramamine etc for the ferry ride over to La Gomera, bring your own. It is available here and it's not expensive at all, less then 4euros for a 12pill pack, but you can only get this and any other over-the-counter medicine at pharmacies. Tracking down a 24hr pharmacy at 10p is something you want to avoid, if you can help it.

Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends Porn Story: Dreams Of The Blind Chapter 1
of the Blind
Note: Okay, Ive never EVER done a Fosters fic before
and after reading just snippets of a few other stories, I really
dont know what to say. I never even thought of using such ideas in
this kind of show but its inspiring stuff. Special thanks to Dude13
and his story A Day in the life.
You were
right, it is wrong for someone to make up a romance between an 8 year
old and a 20 year old. And I think its thats exactly what I
want to do with this story, but not in the way that you think.
I dont
know how this is going to turn out, but Im trying my best and I
hope youll get out of it what Im feeling about it, right now.
Anyways, enjoy and feed back would be GREATLY
I woke
up one morning and saw a face that wasnt there…
