This study examined the effects of alteration of tropical rainforest vegetation structure and composition on bird community structure and the influence of life-history traits on species persistence in the Kalakad-Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve, Western Ghats. Systematic sampling for vegetation and point count surveys for birds were carried out in cardamom plantations abandoned for 5 and 15 years, plantation-rainforest edges, a selectively logged forest patch and adjoining undisturbed rainforest sites. Principal components analysis of vegetation variables revealed clear differences between undisturbed and altered sites in woody plant and cane densities, canopy cover and vertical stratification. Bird species richness was lowest in cardamom plantations abandoned for 5 years and highest in logged and undisturbed forest. Bird species richness and similarity with undisturbed forest were significantly positively related to the vegetation component representing woody plant and cane (Calamus spp.) densities. Sites that were more similar in tree species composition had more similar bird communities whereas similarity in foliage profile between sites did not influence bird community similarity. Birds that were rare, were large-bodied and belonged to the carnivore, omnivore, bark-surface feeder and terrestrial insectivore guilds were adversely affected by habitat alteration. Restoring woody plant and cane densities and rainforest floristic composition in disturbed habitats may be required for management and conservation of bird communities typical to the region.

Motorsports Insider: Capps looks forward after tough conclusion to 2012
"We've gotten much like Formula One," said Capps. "We'll come in after every run and de-brief. As soon as I get back to the pits after a run, the computer cartridge is pulled off the car and the run is analyzed. Everything mechical is now digital and electronic.
"I know enough about it that I can follow it. During the run I can be ready for the changes they make. They'll be working on something and two seconds into the run it clicks in. If I catch it good, if not, I'm sideways at 200 mph."
Part of Capps longs for the old days.
"I wish they would unplug the computers and see who would rise to the top," he said. "I'm old school. I always felt I was born 20 years too late."

Beautifully restored historic Lake Michigan resort bed & breakfast. One block to beach, three blocks to downtown. Walk to shops, restaurants, South Haven harbor and sunsets. Most rooms have private balconies and fireplaces. All are designer decorated with central air conditioning, private bathrooms and all of the latest amenities. A full gourmet breakfast is included. Common areas are our attractive living room and white wicker front porch which overlooks the park across the street. Seasonal outdoor heated pool. Private and quiet, yet in the middle of everything that's happening in South Haven. Unique and intimate.

The most friendly service imaginable willing to help with everything little thing asap. The breakfast left something to be desired but overall a great stay!

Absolutely a wonderful place to stay!! Only stayed one night but enjoyed the whole experience. Owners are very friendly. First Bed-N-Breakfast experience and it was a great one. Small, homey feeling. Short walk to downtown and the beach. Will definitely be going back to stay again.

Our stay could not have been nicer. The Inn was very nice and the staff was very helpful and accommodating. We had originally planned to stay three nights but extended our visit we were so pleased with the Inn and the area. Thanks to the staff for a great vacation stay!

great place, friendly hosts, good breakfast. we did find the bed a little too soft for your preference, but otherwise wonderful.

Our fourth stay exceeded our expectations…as usual. With our favorite first floor room available our relaxation was assured. We stay here to relax and to swim at the beach that is only one block from the inn. On our last visit we met a great couple who are now our friends…they by coincidence live in an adjacent town. South Haven, Lake Michigan, friendly service, ultra clean rooms and great pricing are what draw us back time after time.

My wife and I stayed for four days at the end of August. Great room and we really enjoyed the balcony. Nice pool and comfortable lounge chairs. WiFi in our room was basically non existent. Breakfast was limited in choices and essentially the same each morning and not replenished in a timely manner as it was buffet style. Only one morning did we enjoy full size coffee cups and not have to use tea cups. Cleaning staff was raucous. Even tho online we couldnt book less than three night stay we met a couple at the pool who had just checked in for one night......hmmm. Great location but will probably try another B and B next time.
Innkeeper Response
We would like to thank this guest for visiting the Sand Castle Inn and for taking the time to write a review of our Inn. Our entire staff reads and discusses these reviews, and they help us to constantly improve. The guest visited the Inn over Labor Day weekend and is correct that there is a three night minimum reservation on our holiday weekends. Labor Day is one of the three or four biggest weekends of the entire year, and all of the Inns in South Haven require minimum stays. There is a little puzzlement in that the guest stayed four nights, and the question presents itself: why would this guest complain about having to stay three nights if they chose to stay four? Anyway, as the Inn fills up on a weekend like this, other guests will reserve a Thursday, Friday, Saturday night which then allows us to open the Sunday night for a one night stay. And similarly, we will have guests reserve a Saturday, Sunday, Monday night which then allows us to offer a one night stay for the Friday night in that room. This will usually happen as we get closer to the weekend. The guest met a couple who had checked in for one night. This will happen under the above circumstances. Hopefully that will explain the guest's "……..hmmm." We are a little at a loss to address the guest's other comments. In each case, this guest is the only guest this summer to complain of these issues. WIFI is available in all of our rooms and all of the common areas in the Inn. We did a check of WIFI in every room in the Inn this morning to confirm this. Our cleaning staff is comprised of a head housekeeper who has been with the Inn for 10 years and two housekeepers who have both been with the Inn multiple years. Were they disruptive, unpleasant or disrespectful, they would not still be with the Inn. The breakfast menu is changed each morning as are the homemade baked goods. It is replenished constantly during breakfast. The guest was able to enjoy freshly brewed Starbucks coffee each morning. We would urge this guest and all guests, if they need a coffee cup or something else, just ask. The guest enjoyed the room and balcony, the pool and comfortable lounge chairs. They also complimented the location, easy walking distance to Lake Michigan beaches, town and harbor. For all of those reading this review, please be sure to read the other reviews posted here. We would hope that this guest upon reflection will chose to visit the Sand Castle Inn on their next trip!

Great place and fantastic staff. Walking distance to shops and Lake Michigan.

We had a wonderful experience at the Sand Castle Inn. The room was clean and well appointed and comfortable bed. Loved the balcony! The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very, very good and we also loved the afternoon snacks. It is in an excellent location, close to the beach and town. We will definitely go back for another vacation.

This was our first trip to South Haven and we're glad we stayed at the San Castle B&B. Service was great from the very first minute and continued our entire stay. The room was exactly as advertise and was spacious, clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. Wifi worked great with no issues as well. First breakfast was delicious. We want the egg souffle recipe :-) Second breakfast was a buffet and we had never seen that before at at B&B and it was great. B&B is a short walk the Lake Michigan and a decent walk to downtown activities If you're staying in South Haven I would recommend this establishment.

Biofreeze- Colorless- 3 Oz Roll-On
The use of cryotherapy has long been known to stimulate circulation and healing, and when it is combined with massage, it can generate amazing results. This is why therapists, massage professionals, and medical experts all agree that Biofreeze- Colorless- 3 Oz Roll-On is a good solution.
It is a topical analgesic that can be applied in a targeted way to alleviate the pain and soreness of arthritis, muscle strain, sore joints, and even the discomfort associated with trigger point therapy and ultrasound healing.
It uses many natural ingredients, is greaseless, colorless, and odor free and will provide many hours of effective relief from a long list of complaints and injuries.
We have found this to be of great value to relieve aches and pains. We also just ordered some more kinesio tape which we have found to be a really good compliment to the Biofreeze.
better than anything i have used before on strained or tired muscles.
Comparing this product to Sombra Gel, I prefer the Sombra. It is a more deep penetrating relief and the scent goes away readily.
Our patient's love the Biofreeze.

He works every day for about 10 hours and thinks that it is going well for him because of his good performance and the friendly way that he treats others.

The walls of his kitchen are damaged and need to be sealed and painted, and he needs to put in a floor. In this way, Segundo and his family will have better security and well-being. Segundo will continue to work and push himself to achieve his great dream of being able to study a professional degree.

Caja Señor de Luren identifies these clients through a unique scoring system that evaluates their repayment capacity based on socio-economic and demographic indicators. The goal is to expand access to credit to vulnerable borrowers, empowering them to improve their income and living conditions.
About Caja Rural Señor de LurenCaja Rural Señor de Luren is a microfinance institution based in Ica in southern Peru that primarily promotes the development of the country's agricultural sector through lending. Today, it also offers credit for consumers, microenterprises and housing improvements, and has expanded its financial services to promote micro-savings and provide micro-insurance. This institution has been instrumental in helping borrowers recover from the devastating earthquake in the Ica region in 2007, and works with Peru's National Bank to reach some of the poorest and most remote microfinance clients in the country.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes.

Been a Herps is just like been through hell; well special thanks to God almighty for using DR. ZUBA the greatest spell caster in curing my Herps disease. I was diagnosed of this disease in the year 2008. Thou I was taking my medications buy I was not myself. Until last two weeks. My friend came to me and told me that he saw many testimonies on how a spell caster cured people Herp disease. Thou I never believe in spell, I said to myself "seen is believing" I took his name and searched it on GOOGLE, I saw many testimonies myself. Quickly, I copied his email email@example.com I emailed him, he gave me a form to fill which I did, then he called me and told me that his gods required some items in which he will use in casting a curing spell on me. And di told him to get the listed items needed to prepare my cure because by then i have little faith in him, few hours later he called me and told me he is through preparing the cure. so he send it to me I got my parcel, it was a herbal cure as described by DR. ZUBA. I took the herbal cure and after taking it for a week and some days. He told me to go for check up, I went to the hospital and had a test,and i was cured.

Dec 4 2010Couple Wins Google Lawsuit, Awarded $1
Back in 2008, Pittsburghers Aaron and Christine Boring (*yawn*) began the process of suing Google for invasion of privacy after a Google Street View car trespassed 1,000 feet up their private drive (marked 'NO TRESPASSING') to take pictures. Finally, a settlement has been reached, with the Borings (*Zzzzzzzzzz*) being awarded the life-changing sum of $1. Demand all nickels!
The Borings said in a statement released by Zegarelli that the amount of the judgment isn't the issue.
"This is one sweet dollar of vindication," the statement said. "Google could have just sent us an apology letter in the very beginning, but chose to try to prove they had a legal right to be on our land. We are glad they finally gave up."
Both sides will pay their own attorney fees.
Whoa whoa whoa -- paying your own attorney fees?! So you spent thousands to win a single point-proving dollar? Somebody needs to learn how to pick their battles! Because I'm not gonna lie -- this was a bad one. If this had been a Pokémon battle I would've chosen 'Run'.
Google admits trespassing in Pa., pays couple $1 [newsvine]
Thanks to Bobo Smurfer, Eric and Melissa, who would have sued for a Google treasure map.

Don't forget. Attorney gets 40% of that dollar.
first lol i did this on the wii
Is this what my taxes are paying a whole court system for ?!
I propose that instigator should pay for all court cost for such stupid battles!!
We will save millions!!
wow. talk about a missed opportunity. dumbasses
poster #3 is spot on
I doubt paying their own fees is really going to bother them.
They have their own private driveway up to their house!
That dollar doesn't mean they won...It's "awarded" to them so that they can't bring this case to court again because they've already "won" the case.
Its perfect that their last names are the borings.
@2 anyone who uses 'LOL' in their own statement is already demonstrating severe fail... you don't need to fail as a firstard to remind the world how much you suck
Imagine their lawyer. "You're agreeing to settle for one dollar . . . but . . . but . . . but . . . google . . . billion dollar company . . . GAAAAHHHHH!" *head explodes*
i cant even get street view of my road and this happens?!
GW is a coward herding coward. Sheep. Buncha sheep.
If they had rolled over, Google would be driving on lawns and up your ass in the name of "voyeurism" and "doing not evil" or sum-such lie.
The Google streetview van is the eye of sauron you FOOLS!
They just wanted the One Dollar so they could turn invisible.
What some people might not understand is the courtroom concept of setting precedent. Comment #14 is partially correct. If Google had won this case, then they would be allowed to go on anyones private property to take pictures. But with this precedent set, any company could then start going onto your provate property to take pictures for the internet.
This couple did a good thing here. They helped set the precedent to prevent big companies from doing whatever they wanted.
@16 indeed and all free peoples should take note if you feel the need to take action do it immediately because while your rights and powers decline theirs rise
such is the case in any instance of US vs THEM
all men are created equal not all men are equal (provided they offer an equal tribute to the governing body)
Of COURSE IT'S ABOUT THE PRINCIPLE, that's why you sue for one million dollars isn't it? Isn't that what goes through everybodies mind when some big multi-million dollar company violates some bullshit fucking law and you're the "victim". Hell, these people probably didn't even know the van was ever on their property until they google-earthed their own property for shits and giggles. I don't know what's worse, how people are so willing to exploit the court system for personal profit, or how they try to justify their own greed by saying they don't even really want the money, just an "apology". God I hate humanity.
Wait...1$, but...but...fuck!
Forget my statement!
@18 The only victim around here is your mother's diseased vag. Now how's about you be all nice and STFU?
"it's about sending a message"
This case is really important. People have in their minds the idea that the legal system is just for getting rich. In reality it is about preserving rights. One of the oldest tenants of law is the concept of property. The right to enjoy your property, the right to exclude others, the right to exploit your property. What Google did was WRONG.
The BORINGS were fortunate to be in the economic position to stand up for ALL OF US. Because the BORINGS stood up to Google, they have effectively placed a limit on how far Google can waltz up into our lives and expose us to the world.
Because of this case, the next time that Google strides too far into private territory, we have precedent. We have precedent that states that Google is a private company that has no more right to access to my home than any of you.
Those of you who condemn the lawyer who represented the BORINGS do so out of plain ignorance. If the BORINGS did not sue, Google would push further and further into the sphere of our private lives. Where does it end? Do we have to wait until Google has "Window View", or "Shower Cam"? While a slippery slope argument of this nature is speculative at best, it does further the point that Google is neither Omnipotent, or Above the Law. We still have rights. We have many freedoms in this country (believe it or not), and these freedoms include not only "freedoms to" (freedom to speak, freedom to worship your favorite invisible man, freedom to elect your representatives), but also, "freedoms against" (freedom against intrusions of your person and property, freedoms against discrimination, freedoms against Google invading every aspect of your life to further its own agenda).
Lawyers owe a duty, not only to their client, but also to society. Lawyers argue points of law, and in doing so, they define the extent of our rights. Lawyers shape legislation, and because of this case, and the publicity it received, it is foreseeable that laws will be passed, placing explicit limits on Google. Limits that are there to protect YOU.
@1,3,4,5,6,8,11,12,21 you are literally the ones to blame for everything wrong in the world that stems from ignorance and irresponsibility. Keep it up.
Wait, an actual intelligent and not insanely ignorant post? Woa
=_= and this is why we cant have anything nice
i hate humans sooooooooooooooooo much and this just proves my point as to why they are stupid mud apes
All Google employees and their agents can enter your home or other private place and record whatever they want. They walk around festooned with cameras AND recording equipment, peeking under your STALL and under your SKIRT! You cannot stop them and it is a federal offense to even CONSIDER doing so! THEY HAVE CAMERAS MOUNTED ON AIRBORNE BACTERIA AND IN YOUR BLOODSTREAM, CAPTURING YOUR THOUGHTS AND PUTTING THEM ONLINE!! THAT'S WHY EVERYONE IS STARING AT ME, BECAUSE THEY'RE INSIDE MY HEAD THERE INSIDE MY HED MY HEAD MI HEAD AHIYY HEAD ARRR GET OUT THEE HEADDDD!!!!!!!!1##3@%5({?!^6*&56$%6#6!!?!?!
and that, gw, is why you will let other people tread on your rights.

So how long does a driveway have to be before you consider people not bothered by legal fees?
Hey werewithall
I totally understand how my single facetious sentence on what can be an informal blog has completely contributed to the world's blight. Get the stick out of your ass.
"Whoa whoa whoa -- paying your own attorney fees?! So you spent thousands to win a single point-proving dollar? Somebody needs to learn how to pick their battles! "
Did the Borings mention that they were filthy rich and sued Google because they were BORED?
Wow, I'm a regular joke machine. And by that I mean a machine that tells jokes....really bad ones.
Wow i cant believe that the first commenter who finally got the point was at comment nr 23. Wel done werewithall, and shame on the rest of you.

"Country singer-songwriter Daniel Profitt's journey to songwriting was unexpected and life changing. After some time working as a health care worker, he realized the medical field was not where he wanted to be for the rest of his life. A couple years later, he was diagnosed with renal failure and nearly died. Just as he seemed to lose all hope, he received a sign from God leading him to music. Profitt says, "After dialysis, I came out and just heard a voice saying 'What do you want?' and I said, 'I want to be the best songwriter ever' and the songs just started coming to me and I started going for it." Gradually Profitt's health improved. His Reverbnation page is flooded with positive comments from fans like: "Authentic work, very inspiring," "Simply amazing," and "Great tunes and vocals!"

Gerrard and Torres - the TRUTH!
Lads - you're already down on the ground being kicked around like a dead rat in a game of five-a-sdie in Toxteth BUT news has now broken that GERRARD (2 weeks) and Torres (2 MONTHS) are again INJURED!
A word on this from your esteemed leader in this time of ultimate humiliation...
These players should NOT be playing again until fully cured and should BOTH be put under the knife... as i said MONTHS ago!
Muppets - the season is over so there's no more reason to risk these players any longer... get them operated and rehabbed on and then brought back into the fold in time for the World Cup if possible. If not TOUGH... who's to blame for that...
YES muppets - who is to blame for this latest NIGHTMARE? FATLAD of course.
BOTH these players could've been operated and rehabbed after last term but NO - Rafa refused... because he had NO BACK UP... now look whats happened. GERRARD and TORRES have been underperforming all season, Stevie especially is having a mare... becuase they are NOT FIT and nursing serious injuries that will not get better until operated on. FACT!
Surely even you blind boy pugh's can SEE that this has gone on long enough and with the season done... Gerrard and Torres must be cured in time for them to play for their countries and be fit to join their NEW CLUBS thereafter.
Stevie and Fernando deserve BETTER than what our shoddy club has given them and you damn well know it.
It's a fcuking DISGRACE and at the core of this HUMILIATING season.

I just want to talk about what is happening on the pitch and at the football club Paisley simple as that.
The fact of theft of houses by an extreme stupid minority shouldn't be the basis of a almost personal attack on scousers themselves.
I'm not going to deny a lot of the stuff you have said in the past and still do is solid fact but like I said mate a lot not all.
This time we just will have to disagree mate.

Tafty don;t let us return to the days when i had to slap you around like a red headed stepchild mate because it's a FACT that players are scared stiff of coming to merseyside because of the robberies that have occured to us and the Mancs in the region.
Gerrard's WIFE was alone with their young kids one time and Crouchy, Keane and Alonso were ALL deeply affected by the break ins and couldn't WAIT to move on! Defoe's ex missus REFUSED to move from Herfordshire because of these heinous crimes... and WHO can blame her.
Shame on you for casually dismissing such a shameful act towards our own players... next you'll be telling us you're up for being MODERATOR on an UNMODERATED forum when you don't even work for Yahoo mate. ahahaha

"BUT the robberies of numerous players could possibly be a reason for some players to turn us down and go to another team on equal footing. I mean gerrard's wife was actually confronted by these sickos, that must be a scary thought for stevie. "
EXCELLENT comments here from you Bakes. But of course this tw@t steer says it's not right to state FACTS about Liverpool or scumbags like these because Shanks built the club for the people and therefore we cannot speakl the TRUTH. Hahaha FCUK you snake!
How ludicrously DUMB you are steer - Shankly would be beside himself with grief and anger that these LIVERPOOL lowlifes are ROBBING our own players, in their own homes in and around LIVERPOOL!!!!!!!!!!!! No wonder so many players won't come or want to leave.
Well dave i don't really know how run down liverpool really is so i cant comment on that but i have no problem with the people of liverpool. I work with a few scousers (one's a bluenose but we can forgive him that) and they are all sound people. The thing is though do any liverpool players live in the bad areas of liverpool? I doubt it. They all live in their posh houses surrounded by other posh houses. BUT the robberies of numerous players could possibly be a reason for some players to turn us down and go to another team on equal footing. I mean gerrard's wife was actually confronted by these sickos, that must be a scary thought for stevie.

Hahaha, I see Dsqueer is still living in his fantasy la-la land, or DENIAL as we call it in the field!
The ONLY Dippers fans you can really take serious here, are the ones calling for Rafa's head, and who are objective enough to honestly admit that Liverpool are utterly SH*T these days - I mean seriously, WAKEY WAKEY, you're side is a JOKE!!!
Any Rat Muncher not publicly making it clear that Rafa needs to go does NOT care for the club - FACT.
I mean why would any top player want to join a team that hasn't won the title in TWO decades, and will be scrapping it out at the bottom of the table when Gerrard retires and Torres leaves...which aint exactly far away!?
United will LAWAYS be first pick, for obvious reasons, Francenal are an attractive alternative even though they dont really win anything anymore, unfortunately for the world class expensive players its not a realistic option, so that leaves City or Chelski, where they can earn BILLIONS.
Otherwise its La Liga, Serie A or Bayern, Liverpool just DONT feature any more, and their ancient history is becoming so distant a memory even thats failing to entice anyone!

No, it was to Kopalot as he said he supports everything P&S says, but think anyone who supports the Mighty Red Men might want to ask themselves if they agree with P&S's number one reason why he thinks top player should not come to Merseyside.
I know I don't agree with him, but I think only Rafalution is the only other person who's made a comment on this one.

Please be aware that the government recently announced the closure of the climate change levy exemption for renewables. Renewable electricity generated after 1st August will not be eligible to receive Levy Exemption Certificates. If you commissioned on or after this date you should not apply. Please see our CCL exemption removed FAQs for more details.
The Climate Change Levy (CCL) is a tax on UK business energy use, charged at the time of supply. Energy use refers to electricity, gas, liquid petroleum gas and solid fuel. The final recipient of supplies of electricity generated from certain renewable sources and combined heat and power (CHP) enjoy tax exemptions.
Ofgem's role
We are responsible for administering the Climate Change Levy (CCL) Exemption for Renewables scheme on behalf of HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). We administer a certification scheme which provides evidence for the administration of two of these tax exemptions:
- the exemption for renewable source electricity with effect from April 2001
- the exemption for indirect supplies of good-quality combined heat and power (CHP) electricity with effect from April 2003.
The Northern Ireland Authority for Utility Regulation administers these exemptions for generation and supply made in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
We review and accredit applications for generating stations via the Renewables and CHP Register. We then issue LECs (Levy Exemption Certificates) on the basis of the output data provided to us by generators.
LECs provide suppliers with some of the evidence needed to demonstrate to HMRC that electricity supplied to UK business customers is CCL exempt. The final customer realises the exemption from the tax. The tax rate for electricity is set within the Finance Bill each year as part of the Budget. This information is also published on the HMRC website.
The CCL and REGO team regularly report to HMRC and DECC, as well as being responsible for the annual Fuel Mix Disclosure compliance deadline.
More information
On this section of the website you can find information and documents relevant to you if you:
- are applying or intending to apply for accreditation of a renewable generating station under the CCL exemption for renewables scheme
- have obtained accreditation from CHPQA (Quality Assurance for Combined Heat and Power) for your CHP plant and wish to claim CHP LECs
- are the operator of an accredited generating station under either exemption and wish to claim Renewable or CHP LECs
- are acting as an agent appointed by the operator of a generating station
- are a supplier of CCL exempt electricity to UK business customers and wish to allocate/redeem LECs against supplies made.
If you have any questions relating to the CCL exemptions that you are not able to find the answer for in the relevant sections of our website or guidance documents, please contact the CCL and REGO team on 020 7901 7310 (Option 3) or firstname.lastname@example.com.

"Dehradun... our staying place for IIT Rookee" Dehra Dun by Callavetta
Dehra Dun Travel Guide: 11 reviews and 19 photos
My colleagues had just been in Dehradun 5 months before and were shocked to find the brand new spanking airport terminal. India is building infrastructure faster than you can imagine these days.
The airport is about 40 minutes from the actual town and our driver took the back road to avoid traffic. What kind of traffic could be so bad out here in the "country". I was getting a baptism in India road trips! Honking, passing, passing, honking... bullock carts, bicycles, pedestrians, motorbikes with several passengers, more honking, more passing. We zipped through farmlands, pastures, rice fields, and pass school yards with kids sitting neatly in rows on the ground outside, listening to their teachers.
Monkeys on the side of the road!
The town was crowded and off in the distance are the mountains. We dropped our bags and headed up to Mussoori, a distant hill station.

I want to describe our trip back to Dehrudun from Rookee but I don't know if I can find the words. We left at about 5:30... more travel advice
And what a noisy town this is! The horns never stop honking. But the rooms are comfortable. The showers are nice. And... more travel advice

Stove Top Stuffing is strictly for Thanksgiving. At least that's what the Pilgrims would have you believe.
Stove Top Stuffing is strictly for Thanksgiving. At least that's what the Pilgrims would have you believe.
In an ad campaign that launches Monday, Kraft Foods Inc. will use humor to try and boost sales of the 40-year-old brand by marketing the holiday dish as a yearlong staple.
The "It's not just for Thanksgiving" campaign will feature a community of Pilgrims who are coping with the fact that Stove Top is now being wantonly consumed on any old night of the week.
The ad campaign comes at a time when Stove Top has seen years of flat sales, while volumes have experienced some "give and take," said Carolyn Clark, Stove Top's brand manager. The other problem for Kraft is that the majority of Stove Top sales still take place between October and December.

- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary

- Boeing plans hundreds of layoffs in local IT unit

Most Read Stories
In one of the first ads aimed at changing that, a middle-aged Pilgrim sits in a darkened suburban home and confesses his seemingly modern anxieties over the changing ways Stove Top is being used. He recounts an argument he had with his wife after she incorporated Stove Top in "this dish called Easy Pleasing Meatloaf."
"We're arguing about the kids having smallpox, but what we're really talking about is Stove Top," he says.
The ads will replace the current "Un-Potato" campaign, which was launched last year and used understated humor to cast Stove Top as the more exciting side dish. The ads showed images of a lumpy potato with phrases like "My favorite color is beige," and "My favorite sport is accounting."
Although successful, Kraft says the campaign pegged Stove Top as a mere potato alternative. The "Angry Pilgrims" campaign is intended to open up the possibilities.
Stove Top Stuffing was introduced in 1972 and is sold only in North America where consumers are familiar with the tradition of the Thanksgiving day feast. In the past, Stove Top ads evoked the warmth of family dinners with campaigns like "It's a good night for Stove Top."
The shift to a more laugh-out-loud approach reflects the company's hope of getting people to make Stove Top a regular part of their meal rotation in a variety of ways. To that end, a revamped website for the brand will also feature more creative, seasonal recipes that incorporate stuffing come Monday.
"Humor is a great way to get consumers' attention and change behavior," Clark said.
The first two ads will focus on the middle-aged Pilgrim, whom Kraft executives refer to as "Larry." But the story line will evolve over the weeks and give viewers a sense of a broader community of Pilgrims; in the third week, an ad will depict a testy relationship between a father and his smart-alecky teenage son. The dad nearly loses it when the son flippantly talks about eating Stove Top with tacos.
If the sense of humor feels familiar, it's because the Pilgrim ads were developed by the same ad agency responsible for the popular Geico ads featuring cavemen who are forever being offended by society's prehistoric stereotypes. The Martin Agency, based in Richmond, Va., also developed the "talking gecko" ads for the auto and home insurer.
In another Pilgrim ad that will air next week, "Larry" insists that he's the type of guy who "embraces change."
"I'm a freewheeling guy, OK? I tweet," he says. "But Stove Top was the thing that made Thanksgiving our special holiday. And if you take that away, what's next? Our buckets? Our muskets?"
Clark says the ads enlisted many improv actors, which inevitably led to some ad-libbing.
"Who knew that Larry tweeted?" she said.

CAIRO — Egypt's interim leader swore in a Cabinet on Tuesday that included women and Christians but no Islamists as the military-backed administration moved swiftly to formalize the new political order and present a more liberal face that is markedly at odds with the deposed president and his supporters.
The changes came at a time of deep polarization and violence in Egypt, including new clashes that killed seven people as part of the continuing bloodshed that has marked the days following the armed forces coup that swept President Mohammed Morsi from office and cracked down on the Muslim Brotherhood.
Egypt's military already wields great influence behind the scenes, and the army chief, Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, who ousted Morsi on July 3, was given a promotion in the Cabinet. He became a first deputy prime minister in addition to keeping his post as defense minister.
For most of the two years since the overthrow of autocrat Hosni Mubarak, the country has been split into two camps — one led by Morsi, his Muslim Brotherhood and its Islamist allies, and another led by secular Egyptians, liberals, Christians and moderate Muslims.
The fault lines remain, except that the Islamist camp is no longer in power. It does not include members of any Islamist parties — a sign of the enduring division that follows the removal of Morsi, Egypt's first freely elected president.
The interim president's spokesman had earlier said posts would be offered to the Muslim Brotherhood, but the group promptly refused, saying it would not take part in the military-backed political process and would continue protests until the legitimately elected Morsi is reinstated.
"We refuse to even discuss it," a senior official of the Muslim Brotherhood's political arm, the Freedom and Justice party, told The Associated Press. "What is built on illegitimacy is illegal," he said.
The only Islamist party that supported Morsi's ouster — the ultraconservative Salafi el-Nour party — was not represented and criticized the leadership as "biased," lacking inclusion and repeating "the same mistake the last government was blamed for."
U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said he had talked with el-Sissi about 10 times in the past week.
"We have encouraged publicly and privately the leaders of Egypt, including the interim president, the interim vice president, and the prime minister in particular, to be inclusive, to bring all political parties in, to allow them to participate in the writing of the constitution and the elections," Hagel told reporters in Florida. "That's the only way it will work. We've been very clear on that."
Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi, an economist in his 70s, leads the government of 33 other ministers. Sworn in by interim President Adly Mansour, it reflected the largely liberal, secular bent of the factions who brought millions into the streets at the end of June calling for Morsi to step down and backed el-Sissi's removal of the president.
Women have a somewhat higher profile in the government, with three ministries — including the powerful information and health ministries. Most past governments for decades have had at most only two women.
The Cabinet also includes three Christians, including one of the three women, Environment Minister Laila Rashed Iskander. That is also a first, since successive governments had no more than one or two Christians.
Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim, appointed by Morsi, remains in his post, which oversees the police. Nabil Fahmy, who was Egypt's ambassador to the U.S. from 1999-2008 and a nuclear disarmament expert, becomes foreign minister.
In a nod to the revolutionary youth groups that engineered the 2011 uprising and this year's massive protests, Mansour renamed the Justice portfolio the Transitional Justice and National Reconciliation Ministry and gave it to Mohammed el-Mahdi, a career judge.

Placer County declares American River pump station project complete
By: Gus Thomson, Journal Staff Writer
The American River pump station project is officially completed. Directors of the Placer County Water Agency approved a notice of completion on Thursday, closing a 12-year logistical, construction and financing chapter and moving on to recreation challenges in a new one. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation has been overseeing construction of the pump station in the river canyon near Auburn for the past four years. The pump station has been in testing since late last year and is slated for full operation this spring. The board's action accepts the pump station into the water agency system for operation and maintenance, while outlining a few items described in a release by the water provider as minor and still being finalized. As well, the transfer of the land under the pump station is still pending at the federal level. The pump station's completion is considered by the agency as restoration of a missing link in its water delivery system. The agency's previous pump station was removed more than 30 years ago when the federal government planned to build the Auburn dam. The new facility will allow the Placer County Water Agency to pump up to 35,500 acre-feet of water a year to growing western Placer County. Director Otis Wollan, of Placer County's eastern District 5, said the bureau and state Department of Parks and Recreation are working on issues surrounding river use and public access through the pump station project site but are facing financial obstacles. Wollan attended a meeting last week on recreation use of the American River with District 3 Director Lowell Jarvis, city of Auburn officials and Protect American River Canyons President Tim Woodall.

Heybridge had to weather a patchy storm in the first half as Tilbury had decent periods in the opening half. Swifts gave a debut to midfielder James Stevens who comes in from work experience from Southend United and with injuries to keeper's there was a start for Ashley Harrison in goal who has previously played for Chelmsford City. Alex Read and Tom Webb were the early hitters for the Dockers with early shots but were well clear of the bar.
Heybridge had also promoted into the first team another youngster from the Reserves in left back Jamie Moore and he was the saving grace on 17 minutes when he cleared from the goal line after a header by Read was flicked back into the danger zone by Webb for Alex Read to nudge the ball towards goal where defender Jamie Moore was able to hook clear.
The game was the first home game for new Assistant boss Chris Moore in his new title and he had a sterling performance at both ends of the field. The tallest Heybridge player on the pitch was commanding at the back whilst prepared to do his bit upfront.
During a positive spell for the visitors Swifts' Dan Foakes was dispossessed just outside his area allowing Emiel Aiken to flash a shot into the side netting, within four minutes and mid-way through the half Aiken hit a shot that Harrison beaten but not the post, the rebound fell kindly for the new Swifts keeper rebounding back into his arms. Ashley Harrison was well placed to save from Aiken again just after the half hour when the Tilbury striker got round the back of the new assistant boss Moore to get in a shot.
Heybridge had rarely threatened the Tilbury goal following an early shot from Callander that Sam West blocked, five minutes before the break Worrell was well placed to head away a decent cross from Tom Broadhurst.
Referee Alan Dale waved away a Tilbury claim for a penalty in first half stoppage time when Chris Moore lived dangerously in his own area with a huge question mark surrounding if he had indeed tripped Emiel Aiken.
No goals at the break and the Assistant Manager Chris Moore was unlucky not to level on 52 minutes meeting a Fergus corner to head narrowly over. Just before the hour a handball by Jamie Moore in the box led to a spot kick chance for Tilbury but with Jack West's return to Tilbury meaning he was still on the bench, Alex Read stepped up. Ashley Harrison got down well to his right to save but the ball ran loose and was fed back into Emiel Aiken who forced home from close range.
Heybridge started to play abit from then on, Broadhurst saw a decent pass into him from Jon Edwards allowing a shot at goal that James Marrable saved, then on 78 minutes a lofted ball forward by Callander for Tom Holdstock only got a weak touch when it needed either smashing or one or two touches and it was an easy save for Marrable to make.
It wasn't long after that Tilbury crossed the finish line with their second goal, Tom Wraight in open play ran at the area and struck a sweet shot into the corner of the net from 19 yards.
Swifts' man of the match Chris Moore sawa stoppage time chance to claw one back prevented when Marrable tipped over a Moore header as James Stevens launched a free kick deep into the box.

Anyone else not doing the Easter Bunny/ Santa thing with LO?
Ah ha! Found it! If anyone cares.... http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/293/a-little-bit-of-knowledge
Momma to Sweet Pea - 11/2010 and Little Bear - 5/2012
I love NPR they interviewed a Nanny that makes close to $250,000 a year!
Haven't waded through all the posts, so this may not get read by OP either!
But I am the same way. We don't do Santa/Easter Bunny/Tooth Fairy because I just don't want to. Doesn't have anything to do with my religious beliefs. I do tell my children(when they are old enough to realize other kids believe these things) that it isn't okay for them to spoil it. If someone asks them if they believe in Santa or whatever they tell the truth, but don't volunteer the information.
I don't think of it as a lie, just a fun story - no different than reading mythology or fairy tales, which I love and intend to do. I agree that the holidays should not completely revolve around the characters, but it really does make it more "magical" and exciting for the little ones. The joy they experience early on outweighs the later disappointment when they find out they're not real. I think it's important to let children be children for as long as they can. My husband and I are not 100% on the same page with this, as he was raised with no joy from holidays, he never even had birthday parties. He's also pretty bitter and grumpy about the whole thing, I think he's somewhat traumatized because growing up he saw other kids and their excitement, but never felt it. I fully intend to make holidays special for my LO and he'll just have to play along!
My baby boy is here!
Born July 11, 2012 ~ 10 pounds 7 ounces ~ 22 1/2 inches long
I am STILL on the fence about this! Id rather just tell them the truth but at the same time I dont want to ruin it for them.
Its kind of like wrestling, ever since I was a kid I thought it was "real" and my mom never told that it wasnt...didnt find out it was fake until I was in my late teens lol
So there is a strong "POSSIBILITY" that DH and I will do it.
DS is older and VERY analytical so he is starting to put two ad two together...I will have to tell him not to ruin it for DD IF we do decide to "play along" witht the idea.
Wife to Edwin and mommy to Joshua and our DD due in May 2012
We're doing the same thing with our kids (being honest about Santa, Easter bunny, Tooth fairy, etc). We are also Christians. We believe in teaching God's truth first, and what Christmas and Easter are truly about.
That being said, they know some kids believe in the Easter bunny, Santa, etc. They also know that these characters aren't real, but a made up, fun part of the secular side of the holilday. They do know that St. Nicholas was a real person and what he did and how the modern day Santa Clause is based off him. But they know he died a long while back and is in heaven now.
People like you and I will get a lot of flack from others because we "steal the magic" from childhood. But really it's about doing what we feel is in the best interest of our kids. And like you I don't want to lie to my kids about the existence of the fun, but made up characters. What if they think I am lying to them about God one day? I don't want to go down that path. True they have to choose to trust the Lord one day on their own, but I don't want to potentially place that doubt in their mind about Him.
I know you'll get a lot of varying answers, but that's my two cents as a fellow Christian :) Best of luck! I know you're doing what you feel is best no matter what anyone says.
Nope, no easter, no bunnies, no santa...........you are right it has nothing to do with our believes........meaning christiany. If you research the ealy origins of it all it may just surprise you!.
Cris, married to a great guy......
Mother of 3 awesome miracles and counting.....
We are not doing it. I think a PP said it's like reading mythology or fairy tales, but I disagree as you are leading your kids to believe something is real when it's not. I'd rather be honest from the start and focus on what Christmas and Easter are about, let the kids know any gifts are from people who love them (not from an old man that watches them when they sleep or a bunny that passes out eggs), and have family time. I get why people do it and I don't judge, I had it growing up, but it's just our decision not to.
DS-5/31/12 D_?-Dec '14
I think whatever you do is fine. My only suggestion is to keep it consistent either way.

When Real Life's Getting More Like Fiction Each Day
When I say I was obsessed with RENT, I mean obsessed. I grew straight out of American Girl Magazine into the world of wildly risqué musical theatre. My mother tended to encourage the things I was interested in, but this one… well, it baffled her a bit. How could a good church girl from the suburbs of Connecticut relate to this musical?

Mobile Food Vending: Group Sites (only)
- A "Food Vending Group Site" is defined as the stationary operation of three (3) or more "mobile food vendors" clustered together on a single private property site, public property site, or within a specific section of public right-of-way.
- A "Mobile Food Vendor" refers to a person who is engaged in the sale of prepared foods from a truck, trailer, or other movable wheeled equipment or vehicle during hours of operation.
City staff is also concurrently in the process of developing a comprehensive set of regulations related to additional forms of Mobile Food Vending, including the operation of individual mobile food vendors—food trucks, trailers and pushcarts—vending during hours of operation on private and public property, and vending from the public right-of-way. To the extent possible, staff will fold as much of the interim Group Site Pilot Program regulations into the permanent regulations.
For more information, visit the Mobile Food Vending webpage.
For most up to date information, check back at this website, as we will update accordingly.

"The Dumb Ox" was a perfect nickname for young Thomas Aquinas, although it was none too kind. Thomas was big, slow to speak, and a quiet, solemn youth. Even Father Albert was inclined to think him rather dull.
No one knew about Thomas' amazing memory, or that he knew most of the Bible by heart, or that no subject was difficult for him.
One day Thomas decided to amuse himself by writing a paper on a really hard problem in theology. Then somehow, after writing it, he lost it.
A few days later the paper turned up on Father Albert's desk. Father Albert read it, then called Thomas to his cell.
"Brother Thomas," he asked, as the student entered the room, "did you write this?"
This book describes what happened next, plus the other events in Thomas' remarkable life. It tells how his mother fought against his vocation, how his brothers kidnapped him and put him in a tower, how his sisters helped him, and how angels brought him something from Heaven.
This book shows how Thomas, "The Dumb Ox," came to be the Patron of Catholic Schools and the greatest teacher in the history of the Catholic Church.
