About Me
Enjoy life:)
I'm a Bulgarian, born in Plovdiv, but currently located in Sofia. I lived and worked in London for 6 years and four years ago I returned to Bulgaria to work as a teacher in an international school in Sofia.
I am new to couchsurfing but I am a firm believer, it is never too late, especially after learning to ski this year! Although I have been more settled over the past few years, I haven't lost the love of traveling, visiting different countries, meeting different people, exploring different cultures and trying to learn more about the person on the other side. I respect our differences and accept others' freedom and choice to whatever philosophies and lifestyles they may have. Saying this I must admit I am not into drugs and I try to enjoy life away from substances.
I would say that completing my account here is my new adventure and I hope to find not only places to stay, but also lovely people to make friendships.
Still searching for my higher purpose:)
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I have recently surfed and hosted for the first time since a member and I had absolutely great experience! I wonder why I had to wait for 2 years before making the first step...
Please note, I do not host unverified surfers without references, so do not waste time and energy sending requests.
I enjoy cozy weekends at home as much as going out in town to theatre or show. I try to spend my weekends out of town and find the touch with nature revitalizing. I love swimming, skiing, badminton and I am open to creating new experiences. I love to cook and share food with friends…

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 126.96.36.199

Also, the phone call had nothing to do with the emails I have sent them. It was a survey, but towards the end she asked if there was anything else I wanted her to pass along, so I gave my opinion and asked questions. Also, she seemed to reinforce the idea of calling them instead of emailing. She said they get tons of emails and can't get back to them as soon as possible, so phoning them up is much better. Gave me a number and said to call back if I have any questions.
So my advice to you is, if it's really that important, call them up and ask or tell them. Much much quicker. It's also free...

Lung Cancer Health Center
Lung Cancer - Prevention
Quitting smoking
Most lung cancers are caused by smoking. If you use tobacco, you can help prevent lung cancer by quitting. For more information, see the topic Quitting Smoking.
Other prevention tips
You may be able to make other changes in your life that can help prevent lung cancer:
- Avoid working in jobs where you are exposed to asbestos, arsenic, or secondhand smoke.
- Check the radon level in your home. If your radon level is high, lowering it can reduce your risk.
- Don't have unnecessary chest X-rays.
- Eat a healthy diet. Consider including a variety of foods, such as:
- Foods high in antioxidants, like beans, berries, prunes, and artichokes.
- Foods high in phytoestrogens, like soy foods (tofu, soy milk, and edamame), whole grains, sprouts (alfalfa and clover), seeds (flaxseed, sesame, sunflower, and pumpkin), and nuts.
- Cruciferous vegetables, like broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, bok choy, kale, and collard greens.
Studies show that taking supplements of beta carotene or vitamin E does not affect the risk of lung cancer for non-smokers. But for smokers, especially those who smoke one or more packs a day, taking beta carotene supplements can actually increase their risk for lung cancer.7

As massive swells lumber across the Pacific toward Northern California, nearly two dozen of the world's best big wave surfers will be waiting to meet them Sunday, Jan. 20, 2013, a half-mile offshore at the infamous surfing break Mavericks. For the first time since 2010, the Mavericks Invitational surf contest � which requires wave faces of at least 20 feet � will occur at the bone-crushing break that has claimed the lives of two expert big wave surfers.

Unintended racists 4/1/2013
The only conclusion you can draw here is that PC fascists believe there's something wrong or inferior in appearing to be black.
A DAD has apologised after his 10-year-old son "blacked up" to look like his footballing hero El Hadji Diouf.
The little boy, 10, even styled his hair into a white Mohican to copy the Leeds United forward and posted pictures on Twitter.
But he was accused of racism after wearing make-up in his bid to emulate the Senegalese striker.
2 Comments for 'Unintended racists'
4/1/2013 | 11:05 am
What I find interesting is that, on the basis of this story, it's racist to dress up as a black person. If someone dresses up as a white person however it's not considered racist. I mean, this seems to be about personal head space. Whty is dressing up as a black person considered an insult or racist? I don't get it.
4/1/2013 | 11:08 am
Mr Slatts, I just realised after posting that was the point you were making. In future I should read the comment before hitting the link, rather than the other way around! Cheers mate, MB.

3 'Storm Chasers' Die in Oklahoma
Three "storm chasers" were among the at least 13 people who were killed in the latest violent burst of storms to hit central Oklahoma, relatives confirmed Sunday.
Tim Samaras, 55 years old, and Carl Young, 45, both tornado experts featured on the Discovery Channel series "Storm Chasers," were killed Friday in the twister that struck El Reno, Okla., about 30 miles west of Oklahoma City. Mr. Samaras's 24-year-old son, Paul, also died.
The deaths were confirmed by Tim Samaras's brother in a post on a memorial Facebook page set up for the three men. "They all unfortunately passed away but doing what they loved," Jim Samaras wrote.
The storm, which struck the Oklahoma City area during Friday's rush hour, overturned cars and left commuters trapped on an interstate highway. Among the dead were a mother and a baby, found in a vehicle. At least 115 people were hurt, authorities said. The storms brought another tense day to an area recovering from the catastrophic twister that hit the Oklahoma City suburb of Moore on May 20, killing 24 and leveling swaths of neighborhoods.
Friday's twister wasn't as large and devastating as the one that hit Moore—on the Enhanced Fujita scale, the El Reno tornado was an EF3, while the Moore twister was an EF5. Still, the storm system dropped a heavier-than-expected amount of rain throughout the area. Aerial images from Saturday showed muddy water covering roads in and around Oklahoma City, with waist-high water in some areas.
The deaths of the three storm chasers highlight the risks of following tornadoes, which can be unpredictable. Many chasers are trained meteorologists who seek to capture television footage or take scientific measurements. Mr. Samaras and his colleagues often did both, though it is unclear whether they were shooting TV footage when they died.
Of the three, Tim Samaras was the best-known within the storm-chasing community. He spent the past 20 years crisscrossing the plains during the spring and summer, forecasting where tornadoes would form. He developed a system of collecting data called Twistex, or Tactical Weather Instrumented Sampling in Tornadoes Experiment.
In his final post to Twitter on Friday, Mr. Samaras acknowledged the danger: "Storms now initiating south of Watonga along triple point. Dangerous day ahead for OK—stay weather savvy!"
Mr. Samaras's colleagues said they were shocked by the deaths, given his years of experience. "Collectively, that group had decades of experience," said Matt Grzych, who worked alongside Mr. Samaras as a member of the Twistex team from 2009 to 2011. "These were not amateurs. They knew what they were doing and they were extremely careful," he said.
Mr. Grzych and others said that while the Moore twister was more powerful, the characteristics of the El Reno tornado made it less predictable—and more dangerous for chasers.
"It was menacing and erratic and very difficult to see," said Tony Laubach, a member of the Twistex team and colleague of Mr. Samaras. Mr. Laubach, who was chasing the El Reno tornado separately from the others, said he ultimately drove south to avoid it. "I think it was the first tornado that I've ever backed away from," he added.
Messrs. Samaras and Young met at a meteorological conference, according to the Discovery Channel's website. They had been chasing tornadoes together since 2003. "Carl was extremely energetic, and loved to share his energy," recalled Mr. Laubach, who praised Mr. Young's talent for "nugget chasing," or finding tornadoes in otherwise small weather systems.
The work of Messrs. Samaras and Young was featured on five seasons of "Storm Chasers," which premiered in 2007, according to the Discovery Channel website. "We are deeply saddened by the loss of Tim Samaras, his son Paul and their colleague Carl Young," a Discovery Channel spokesman said in a statement on the website. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to Tim and Carl's friends and families."

MLA Prize for a Bibliography, Archive, or Digital Project
Competition in 2016 for Works Published in 2014 or 2015
Open to Members and Nonmembers of the Association
The Committee on Honors and Awards of the Modern Language Association invites submissions for the tenth MLA Prize for a Bibliography, Archive, or Digital Project. Established in 1998 for bibliographies, the prize was redefined in 2012 to include archives and digital projects. It is presented each even-numbered year. For the current award, the committee solicits submissions of enumerative and descriptive bibliographies, archives, or digital projects published in 2014 or 2015. A multivolume bibliography is eligible if at least one volume was published during that period, and an ongoing digital project is eligible if substantive work was added during that period. The prize will be given without regard to the language of the compiler or of the text presented in the work, as long as it falls within the subject scope of the MLA (e.g., modern languages and literatures, composition theory, folklore, linguistics). Editors or compilers need not be members of the MLA.
Criteria for determining excellence include evidence of analytical rigor, meticulous scholarship, intellectual creativity, and subject range and depth. To qualify for the award a work should employ editorial principles appropriate to its materials, and those principles should be clearly articulated in the compilation; the work should provide appropriate contextual information; it should exhibit the highest standards of accuracy in its presentation; and the text should be presented as accessibly and elegantly as possible. The prize, which consists of a cash award and a certificate, will be presented to the winning editor or compiler at the association's annual convention in January 2017.
To enter a work in the competition, send four copies and a letter identifying the work to the MLA Prize for a Bibliography, Archive, or Digital Project, 85 Broad Street, suite 500, New York, NY 10004-2434. In the case of a born-digital publication, send the relevant media or URL and a letter identifying the work to firstname.lastname@example.com. Editors of archives or digital projects are required to submit a description of the material added to their project within the two-year eligibility period. Publishers may enter more than one title, but no work may be entered in more than one MLA competition. A multivolume print bibliography that has already competed for this award may compete again if a new volume was published during the later award period; substantially revised or updated electronic editions may compete once every four years. An ongoing electronic work that has won the award may not compete again. Submissions will be accepted until 1 May 2016. The winning editor will be contacted in September, and a public announcement will be made in early December. Because of the volume of submissions, we regret that we are unable to contact each entrant individually.
For further information, call or write the MLA office of programs (646 576-5141; email@example.com).

We recently stayed in the Ibis hotel from 30th Dec for 6 nights and found this hotel really good. The room was clean and quite fresh looking although I did find that the pillows could have been a bit softer or fluffier the bathroom was also very clean and a good size. Handtowels in the bathroom would have been nice. Really liked the body gel for the shower. Location of the hotel is excellent for the Metro and the Mall of the Emirates shopping centre. Having free internet in the lobby (as well as 2 computers there for general use) was great. Breakfast was ok (a lot of breads and pastries if you like that), would have liked to have maybe seen a few more hot dishes -but what was there was very tasty (love the Bircher Muesli !!). The staff were outstanding - front desk staff extremely helpful with our many questions. No matter who we bumped into (cleaning staff, chef, waiters etc) they all greeted us and wished us Happy new Year on the 1st. The biggest surprise and delight was to find on New Years Day (after a 3hr saga of returning from the Burj Khalifa for NYE) that because we had breakfast included in our stay, they offered a 'late breakfast' dining option which went until mid-day (this option is there all the time) - what a bonus !! - Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Ibis Mall of The Emirates, located on Sheikh Zayed Road, is within walking distance to the region's most exciting shopping destination, Mall of the Emirates. The entertainments areas of Madninat Jumeirah, Wild Wadi, Jumeirah Beach Park and Dubai Marina are located nearby the hotel. The hotel features 204 air-conditioned rooms, with free Internet access in all public areas, an Italian restaurant, a 24 hour coffee shop and a bar. ... more less

Hi everyone,
I have a problem.. even though all in one seo pack 0.4 and awmp 2.0 work beatifully together in single posts and give the descriptions and keywords I desire it makes quite a mess of things on the main page that displays all posts.
It stacks all the keywords together and causes the same keywords to show up a few times which will inevitably cause the red flag to go up on Search engines.
I read the meta tags in wordpress page and it said that there is a condition I could add.
<meta name="description" content="<?php if ( is_single() ) {
single_post_title('', true);
} else {
bloginfo('name'); echo " - "; bloginfo('description');
?>" />
Problem is though that these plugins contain the meta hooks inside their respective .php files and I dont know how to integrate this condition inside these plugins.
Essentially I just want to have the main page that shows all the posts to have a short and concise meta description and meta keyword area or somehow filter out duplicate keywords.
Any ideas? Thanks for anyone that takes the time to help out!

DiDio & Lee Say Early "Rebirth" Response is 'Uncharted Territory' for DC Comics
Comic Books
This week sees the release of Captain Marvel #9 , which boasts a cover by Young Avengers/Phonogram artist Jamie McKelvie … and now you can sport that cover on a T-shirt, available from WeLoveFine.com in both a men's and women's versions.
Speaking of WeLoveFine …
Welcome to Food or Comics?, where every week we talk about what comics we'd buy at our local comic shop based on certain spending limits — $15 and $30 — as well as what we'd get if we had extra money or a gift card to spend on a splurge item.
Check out Diamond's release list or ComicList, and tell us what you're getting in our comments field.

If I had $15, I'd dutifully pick up Dark Horse Presents #17 (Dark Horse, $7.99). With all the stories and the variety of genres, this is a comics haul all under one roof. This month's issue has a great looking Carla Speed McNeil cover, and inside's star looks to be Richard Corben adapting an Edgar Allan Poe story. Beat that, comics! After that I'd do an Image two-fer with Multiple Warheads: Alphabet to Infinity #1 (Image, $3.99) and Invincible #96 (Image, $2.99). On the Multiple Warheads front, I've been salivating over this ever since it was announced – I bought the premature version of this back when it was published by Oni, and it's built up in my mind as potentially greater than King City … and I loved King City. In terms of Invincible, I feel this book has the best artists working in superhero comics – and the writing's not to shabby either. They're doing a lot of world-building here, and having Cory Walker join with Ryan Ottley on this essentially split book makes it the highpoint of the series so far.
If I had $30, I'd double back to Image and get Prophet #30 (Image, $3.99). Of all the prophets, I love Old Man Prophet the best – and this issue looks like a mind-bender. After that I'd get Ghost #1 (Dark Horse, $2.99). Kelly Sue DeConnick and Phil Noto look like a dream team and Dark Horse really scored a coup by getting them together on this book. I was a big fan of the original series (Adam Hughes!) so I'm excited to see if this new duo can make it work in a modern context. Third up would be Secret Avengers #33 (Marvel, $3.99). Make no mistake, I love that Rick Remender is so popular now that he's graduated to the upper echelon of books, but I'm remorseful he's having to leave his great runs on this, Uncanny X-Force and Venom. This Descendents arc is really picking up steam. Lastly, I'd get National Comics: Madame X #1 (DC, $3.99). I'm a fair-to-middling fan of Madame Xanadu, but the creators here – Rob Williams and Trevor Hairsine – mean it's a Cla$$war reunion! Love that book, love these guys, and love my expectations here.
If I could splurge, I'd splurge all over Shaolin Cowboy Adventure Magazine (Dark Horse, $15.99). Can DH do two excellent anthologies? We'll see… but fortunately they've got Geof Darrow's Shaolin Cowboy to lead the way in this pulpy throwback. Shine on, you crazy super-detailed diamond, shine on.
Thursday may have started a bit slow in the news department, but it sure ended with a huge bang. Here's a roundup of announcements that hit today from Comic-Con International in San Diego:
• Neil Gaiman announced via video that he will write a new Sandman miniseries that will detail what happened to Morpheus to allow him to be so easily captured in The Sandman #1. J.H. Williams III will provide the art. "It was a story that we discussed telling for Sandman's 20th anniversary," Gaiman said, "but the time got away from us. And now, with Sandman's 25th anniversary year coming up, I'm delighted, and nervous, that that story is finally going to be told." The series will be published by Vertigo sometime next year.
• Mark Waid, Shane Davis and Max Brooks will team to create Shadow Walk, a graphic novel coming out next year from Legendary Comics.
• Legendary will also publish the Majestic Files by J. Michael Straczynski, which will feature art by Geoff Shaw and Matt Banning.
• Terry Moore will write a Strangers in Paradise prose novel to coincide with the comic's 20th anniversary next year. He also plans to do an all-ages comic after Rachel Rising finishes in 30-40 issues.

From Our Editors
Keller's Farmstand was established only 24 years ago, but its roots run all the way back to the 19th century. Since emigrating from Bavaria in the mid-1800s, the Kellers have produced four generations of green-thumbed farmers, most of whom answered to the name Frank. It was during the reign of Franks I and II that the Kellers' first roadside produce stand opened, and the family's crop of grapes, raspberries, and potatoes helped their homestead survive the Great Depression. In the 1960s, brothers Frank III and Ray took over their father's farm and expanded the scope with corn, soybeans, oats, and hay grown on fields in Plainfield and Oswego. In 1991, Frank IV opened his first vegetable kiosk, and Kellers Farmstand was officially inaugurated.
These days, the three farmstands are open during the spring, summer, and fall, welcoming guests with fresh-picked seasonal offerings and annual harvest festivals. Depending on the location and the time of year, guests might find heirloom-tomato plants and flowers in finely wrought hanging baskets, ears of the family's specialty sweet corn, or homegrown pumpkins, gourds, and winter squashes. Their news page keeps shoppers up-to-date on the latest goings-on, with regular updates on flower sales, rain delays, and the farm's ongoing battle with the mole men.

Why Jon Lester Re-signing With Red Sox is Far From a Sure Thing
Starting pitcher Jon Lester hasn't been shy about his desire to stay with the Boston Red Sox for the long-term. Contract negotiations were cut off in Spring Training when the organization offered a four-year, $70 million extension and Lester's representation wanted something more in the $100 million range.
Lester didn't want to negotiate during the season, considering it a distraction. That didn't seem to be a problem — the Red Sox were coming off a World Series victory in 2013 and planned on competing again this year with him at the top of the rotation. Once the season finished, there would be an exclusive negotiating window for the two sides to utilize to strike a deal before he hit free agency.
Well, that plan has backfired.
Boston is currently 56-70 and 17.5 games out of first place in the AL East — the complete opposite of what they were expecting in 2014. General manager Ben Cherington decided to sell at the non-waiver trade deadline, including shipping Lester to the Oakland Athletics in exchange for Yoenis Cespedes. Before getting dealt, Lester was open about still coming back to Boston next season, even after a trade was completed. While that's still a possibility, that will be far from a sure thing once the winter hits.
It's clear the A's won't be a player for Lester after the 2014 season is complete. This deal was a rental to help them get over the hump and win a World Series title.
Not accepting Boston's extension offer in the spring led to him bet on himself this year with the hopes of pitching well enough to get the contract he wants. He's certainly done that. Lester has been a fantasy baseball stud on the mound, posting a 13-8 record with a 2.58 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 174 strikeouts in 170.2 innings pitched. If his ERA and WHIP numbers stay around where they are now, the will far and away be new single-season marks for the hurler.
Upon hitting the open market, his price will continue rising since he's a legitimate ace that nearly every team would covet having, even though he'll be 31 years old next year. Teams have shown they're willing to overpay a player at the end of their career to get prime production at the beginning of a contract.
Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports a return to the Red Sox is a long shot, despite the left-hander saying he's open to coming back.
The reasoning here is Boston needs to significantly increase their offer to be competitive with other interested teams, which Heyman identifies as the New York Yankees and Chicago Cubs. There's no doubt Lester felt a little disrespected with that Spring Training extension offer from the Red Sox. Even though the organization is looking into the future with regard to how he'll produce on the mound, he wants to get compensated for what he's already done, which has included being a crucial piece of two championship teams.
Fair enough, but it makes his future in Boston more foggy than originally expected.
Heyman suggests the bidding could get as high as $150 million for six or seven years, meaning Cherington must more than double the money and nearly double the years they originally offered to reach those numbers. That's a huge jump. Considering the types of contracts they've handed out in recent years, it's not the type of deal they like having on the books. It's possible he'll still take a "hometown" discount to return, but it still has to be more than four years and $70 million.
So, Red Sox Nation shouldn't rejoice about the eventual return of Lester just yet.
Outside of the Cubs and Yankees (who are seemingly in on every high-priced player), the Dodgers and Mariners are teams that stick out to me. Los Angeles has the finances to afford Lester, and they're looking for another ace to add to its pitching staff. They engaged the Phillies in trade talks briefly about Cole Hamels, after all.
The Mariners have a lot of money on the books to hand out — mostly to Felix Hernandez and Robinson Cano — but they're not afraid of making a big splash. Born in Tacoma, Washington, it could attractive for the southpaw to come back to his actual home and pitch for a team that's playing a lot better than anyone expected.

Melasma:Pigmentation of the face, most commonly on the malar area (the upper cheek), bridge of nose, forehead, and upper lip, that occurs in half of women during pregnancy. Birth control pills can also cause melasma. However, hormone therapy after menopause does not cause the condition.
Melasma darkens from sun or any UV exposure. Sunscreens are essential. They should be broad spectrum. A SPF 30 or higher is best. A sunscreen should be worn daily, whether outside or inside. Treatment may also include bleaching creams and prescription creams. Melasma is also known as the "mask of pregnancy."

I also work for a local school district as a Para Educator II and soon I will be starting my eleventh year. I currently work for an RSP teacher and I am a huge part of this highly successful program. There are benefits in working for a school district, my teacher is always willing to help and she makes sure that I learn the latest and greatest techniques for successful teaching.
For the past two years I have been working with a tutoring company out of Gilroy, CA. Recently, they moved their business to Texas. I'm looking to join another great tutoring company where I can continue working with elementary school kids helping to make a difference in their lives. I've

Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I believe I am very qualified to be a tutor in Language Arts and Reading at the elementary school level, as I have an Associate's degree in Business/Computers from Heald Business College and have over two years' experience tutoring through a private tutoring company. My most recent experience is working for Alum Rock School District with an RSP teacher in a Special Education Resource Program that serves students in grades Kindergarten through fifth grade who have specific learning disabilities and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Some of the more important tutoring methods I've used include story predictions, vocabulary building, engaging students in discussions, while ensuring reading comprehension and monitoring their progress with a patient, caring attitude and the goal of student success.
I am qualified to teach young kids phonics. Working at the school district has allowed me to be exposed to many different teaching methods in a Language Arts Special Education Program. A great part of the time we are working with kids who have trouble with phonics such as letter and word sounds long or short, blends in words, hearing and saying consonants in words just to name some of them. by playing fun games on the computer or designing our own it has in my experience dramatically helped kids not only with attention and focus but promotes faster learning. We have to come up with ways to keep the kids interested. Every day is different.
