Local projects supported by ATI Holidays: ATI Holidays has chosen to support a two local projects working towards the development and security of Namibia's youth. We are confident that donations to these projects go direct to Namibian based ground operations as neither project has large administration costs and as such we are happy to support these smaller organisations rather than larger, foreign based aid projects. If you would like to join us in helping either of these projects, please see the donation section at the bottom of our booking form.
The Windhoek SOS Children's Village was established in 1984 in the suburb of Khomasdal and offers a home to around 118 orphaned children aged between 3 & 18. In addition, SOS supports the local community to help children who have lost one or both parents to be cared for in their own extended families wherever possible. Africa Tourist Info offers assistance to the Windhoek based SOS Village in conjunction with our guest house, Rivendell. We currently collect donations of food, clothing and other necessities from our guests and deliver these direct to the Village. In the future we will provide direct cash donations from the company and our staff plan to implement projects to raise further funds.
Sekolo Projects is a non-religious, non-profit corporation that trains African teachers in HIV AIDS prevention, and the related issues of stigma, treatment and care for people living with HIV AIDS. Its primary function is running the national 'Our HIV ABC' teacher-training project in Namibia. Africa Tourist Info offers assistance to Sekolo Projects in the form of rent-free office space & postal, phone, fax & internet facilities.
In addition to this ATI Holidays is also proud to be affiliated with the Cheetah Conservation Fund:
The non-profit Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF)'s focus is on research, conservation and education. CCF is located 350kms north of Windhoek, in the magnificent Waterberg Plateau area.
See conservation in action. Learn about cheetahs' habitat and issues of conservation directly from CCF's scientists and educators, with an opportunity to see some of the resident non-releasable cheetahs (~50 cats on average - numbers vary). Take a standard tour or choose additional activities like watching cheetahs run, a cheetah safari, or even meeting CCF's Cheetah Ambassadors. Limited overnight accommodations are available at the luxurious and spacious Babson Guest House. Please visit CCF's web site for more information.
And remember, for every confirmed booking which comes to us via the CCF website, a percentage of our profits will be donated towards CCF's great work!
We also invite you to support the Catherine Bullen Foundation. Roger and Linda Bullen started this Foundation following the tragic passing of their daughter, Catherine, on the 23, August 2002, two days after embarking on a safari through Namibia.
The charity was founded in Catherine's name, with the following aim:
'The relief of poverty, sickness and distress and the preservation of health in rural Namibia, particularly but not exclusively for the benefit of the Omhaturua Primary School and the inhabitants of the village of Otjimanangombe in Eastern Namibia, by the funding of community based projects including the provision of fresh water supplies, medical and educational facilities and such other facilities as the trustees shall deem necessary with the object of improving the conditions of life of those persons who may have need of such facilities.'
By working with local community based organisations in the country, the trustees are ensuring all funds go straight to the nominated projects where a relatively small amount of money makes a big difference to improve the quality of life.

I would say it is either a motherboard driver problem or a setting in
the Bios, which has some things to control standby/wake up etc. I doubt
if it is a conflict.

Questions And Answers On Acne
Mark asks…
cyst acne & pimple cortisone injection?
I usually don't break out often, but when I do it can get really bad especially on my forehead and extremely worse around my chin/jaw line area. About once every 3-4 months (for about 2yrs now), I would stress out so much that I would get really bad Buy champix online no prescription cyst http://healthyliferx.net/meldonium-for-sale/ http://healthyliferx.net/meldonium-for-sale/ acne on my chin.
I'm 20 yrs old and I'm debating on getting the cortisone shots.
So my question is:
**Why is it, that whenever I get http://personalizarionline.com/docs/order.php?id=ויאגרה-טבעית ויאגרה טבעית cyst do rhetorical analysis essay acne I always get it on my chin?!
(My Buy champix online no prescription cyst http://healthyliferx.net/meldonium-for-sale/ mildronate 500 acne has only been on my chin about 2 days and already it's pink and swollen. Usually I avoid concealer, foundation, etc when I have a Where to order flagyl cyst acne. But it was so red today that I had to use moisturizer and concealer on top of it. As soon as I got off school I washed it off and it's back to being pink but still swollen. I've already applied a heating pad)
**Will cortisone shots leave scars?
**How fast does it take till the cortisone shots take immediate effect?
**What are the chances of side effects?
Ben answers:
Cortisone DOES have side effects if used too much so take care when using it.
Mandy asks…
Would it be wrong to let my 14 year old stay home today because of a painful acne cyst & being overtired?
If this had happened during the school year I'd insist she go and wouldn't even consider letting her stay home. She's in summer enrichment program at her high school that's really challenging, and she's been worn out lately. She went to cheerleading then music camps almost back to back and didn't have a lot of down time before this program started up. This morning she's having a fit because overnight a large cystic acne pimple has formed on the side of her nose. It's only 6:50 in the morning now but as soon as the dermatologist office opens I'm going to try to get her appointment. In the past they've fit us in last minute. This would mean me taking time off work too, but I know that cysts can be much more painful than a normal blemish.
She really wants to just go back to bed and stay home today. The problems I have with it are –
she's getting grades for these classes, and it will be factored into her GPA
I don't want to set a precedence of letting her stay home because of something that isn't serious
My husband will probably be upset
The pros to letting her stay home are-
She really needs the sleep
I could just worry about figuring out my own schedule when I make the appt. for her. Hopefully they can give her an injection that will zap the cyst faster.
She promised to throughly clean her room which has been a disorganized mess since she got home
My husband is on a work trip so I'm just using the site as my sounding board while having coffee.
What would you do in this situation?
Momma Dread – I know it's a very big deal to her emotionally and physically. What I meant by "serious" it isn't the sort of thing that would absolutely require her to stay home like a virus. I am taking this seriously, which is why I'm going to try to get that appointment for her as soon as possible.
Chase's mom – the program will allow make up work but it can be tricky. She's taking two honors classes that cover in one summer what you'd normally learn in a year, so it moves at a very fast pace. Missing a day during the summer is like missing a week or two in the school year.
I had cystic acne when I was pregnant with her, and I definitely feel for her now. Mine would make my whole face throb sometimes. I just don't want to end up adding more stress to her later on.
I do think I'll just let her stay home.
Ben answers:
Everyone needs a day off in awhile, teenagers and adults alike.
Let her have one day of rest.
It's not going to ruin her grades and she's not going to become a lazy teenager because you allowed her one day of sleep.
Ken asks…
HELP! What can I do about this acne cyst?
I have this cyst right next to my mouth and its about the size of a quarter. It's hideous. And responding to nothing I've treated it with. It's been about a week, and I think it's gotten bigger. I've tried benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, aspirin mask, clay masks, hydrocortisone, hot compresses, and ice. I can't go to the dermatologist so a cortisone injection is out of the question. Please help me, I'm literally in tears because I hate going out with people staring at this huge lump on my face.
I'm going to the store in a few minutes so tell me if I should get something.
Ben answers:
You may want to ask your family doc if he can call in a prescription. Most cystic acne will not respond to over the counter treatments. Ask him if you can try evoclin foam…it's literally a foam that you put on your skin that is an antibiotic. It kills the bacteria that form the cyst and works VERY quickly. I have had problems with cystic acne and it has worked very well for me in the past.
Don asks…
Has anyone ever received steroid injections to get rid of bumps caused by scar tissue?
Hi. A while back, I had a very painful acne cyst. It is now a large bump protruding from my skin, but the skin on top looks fine. My dermatologist said it is scar tissue under the skin from the cyst and is beginning to give me corticosteroid injections. Has anyone had this? Will it go down?
Ben answers:
Yes, I have had this done several times and it worked wonders for me!! I was so happy with them, I refer to them as my "miracle injections". You can have this injection done for both new and old acne bumps. The dermatologist will inject a cortisone right under the skin and it will cause the inflammation to go down. Each time I had this done, the bump was gone within 24-48 hours.
Before you have this done, though, I would ask the doctor performing it a couple of questions. I would ask how many times they have completed this procedure and the results that their patients have had. If the doctor does not put enough of the medicine in the spot, it will not completely go away and you will have to go back and have another injection done. This is not as bad of a situation because most doctors will give you a free follow up visit to inject a little more to make it completely go away. This is the cautious approach. On the other hand, if the doctor injects too much of the medication in the area, you could be left with a "pitted" acne scar in that area. The doctor that I had visited did this procedure quite a bit and usually injected just the right amount to make it go away without leaving a scar, so an experienced dermatologist is a must.
Another thing that I ran into was that my health insurance didn't cover the procedure. They considered it to be "cosmetic" rather than "neccessary". Once I got a zit that got bad enough to require a cortisone injection, I would have paid my life savings to get rid of it, but it's just something else to consider when deciding whether or not to do it.
I hope this helps and best of luck with your injection!
Caroline asks…
perioral dermatitis and cortisone shots?
I had perioral dermatitis caused by steroid cream use. It is gone now. I have an acne cyst on my face and would like to get a cortisone injection to treat it. Would the cortisone injection cause a reaction like cortisone cream and cause the perioral dermitis again?
Ben answers:
No, the effect of the injection is very local and should not aggravate acne or perioral dermatitis.

A Quote by General Robert Edward Lee
"The truth is this: The march of Providence is so slow, and our desires so impatient; the work of progress is so immense and our means of aiding it so feeble; the life of humanity is so long, that of the individual so brief, that we often see only the ebb of the advancing wave and are thus discouraged. It is history that teaches us to hope. "

The old joke about the Commonwealth, whose heads of government are meeting in Perth, Australia, is that it is a collection of countries that have little in common, least of all wealth. The Perth summit will address that issue head on, namely, whether the Commonwealth countries share fundamental values in common and whether they are committed to defending and promoting them.

Finding a place for God in the city
– in Calgary –
The newest downtown office building now rises above all others, the crescent-shaped building called The Bow. When completed next year, civic leaders intend it to be more than a symbol of Calgary's economic power. The hope is that it will lead a revitalization of the east side of downtown, where a new office tower hasn't gone up for 25 years. The Bow will be a Calgary landmark to be sure, but what kind of downtown will it preside over? Continue reading
Standing up for Don Cherry – a good ol' Kingston boy
In a larger sense, too, Cherry is considered by many across Canada to be just that — one of our own in a way that few are. For that reason, from time to time the whole nation erupts in a great Cherry controversy. The Globe and Mail employs a full-time columnist apparently for that reason alone. So for almost a fortnight, much attention was paid to what Grapes said Oct. 6 on the inaugural Coach's Corner of the hockey season. On Oct. 15, in his regular spot, he apologized. Continue reading
Egypt's war on Christians
Now we know. Back in January, I wrote that the Egyptian revolution then underway was an "unknown unknown," to use the taxonomy of Donald Rumsfeld. We did not know that we did not know that the Egyptian regime was about to be overthrown. No shame in that – neither did Hosni Mubarak.
To employ Rumsfeld again, there was also a "known unknown." We knew that we did not know what Egypt's revolution and the wider Arab Spring would bring. Would there be a shift toward fundamental liberties and greater pluralism? Or would violent jihadism expand with the support of the state? Continue reading

10 Ways to Dress Like a Historical American Icon This 4th of July

5. Eleanor Roosevelt
Roosevelt wasn't one of those sit-on-the-sidelines-and-decorate-the-White-House sorts of First Ladies.

8. Amelia Earhart
Earhart's natural resourcefulness was an asset to her in the air, as the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic, and on the ground, as the first woman to turn rhinestone flag earrings into matching lapel studs.
Star-Print Circle Bag, ROMWE, $32; Blue Striped Sunglasses, ILLESTEVA, $275; Flag Stud Earrings,ALI KHAN, $18; Blue Star-Print Scarf, STEVE MADDEN, $40
9. Betsy Ross

Post subject: problems with botlle feeding
My baby girl is now 3 months old. I started with only breastfeeding her till she was 2 mo nhts and then introduced the bottle. She used to take the bottle without a fuss but for the last 3 weeks, it's been such an ordeal to feed her. She refuses to SUCK on the nipple and will just BITE on it with her gums. I have resorted to squirting the milk into her mouth so that she does not stay hungry! I know that sounds ridiculous but i am desperate. I have even tried different nipples. If anyone has any suggestions, I would really appreciate it.

After the ad campaign, the design dabbling with Mulberry and, of course, a marked preference for sportswear-on-the-streets, we should've seen the signs coming: Cara Delevingne is designing a 15-piece collection with DKNY, set to arrive in November.
According to WWD, the range will include the sort of basics we've grown accustomed to seeing in Cara's own personal style (so, beanies, tank tops, and, yep, that sweatsuit). "They always encouraged by design input, my personal style, and my ideas," she said. "DKNY is urban and edgy, but, most of all, it's individual. They truly embrace the weirdness in all of us, so you can really be yourself."
Price-wise, you can expect beanies to cost about $70 and for tees to ring in at $150, positioning the line around the other contemporary ones currently out there.
Hyperventilating because you fancy yourself a superfan? You might want to pay close attention to the caption in her above Instagram. She's holding an Insta-competition to cast fans in the campaign shoot. You have until Sunday to post a pic to your feed of you "looking fresh." May the best 'grammers win!
Where does this latest collaboration rank on your personal scale of excitement? If you could have early access to shop one, which would it be?

THEATER REVIEW; A Feeling You're Not On Sesame Street
By BEN BRANTLEY
Published: August 1, 2003
In the savvy, sassy and eminently likable ''Avenue Q,'' which opened last night at the Golden Theater, an idealistic young man stares into the audience and sings, in a voice shiny with hope, ''Something's coming, something good.''
Feeling some nagging tug of déjà vu? It's entirely possible. Some 40 years ago, another idealistic young man on another Broadway stage sang exactly the same lyrics, and has continued to do so in innumerable revivals ever since.
But that was Tony, the starry-eyed hero of the breakthrough musical ''West Side Story.'' And Tony is not to be confused with Princeton, the starry-eyed hero of ''Avenue Q,'' which is a breakthrough musical of a very different stripe. After fervently anticipating the good things of the future, Tony went on to fall deeply and unconditionally in love, kill his girlfriend's brother and die violently, leaving an exceedingly pretty corpse, all within a matter of days.
Princeton, too, has stars in his eyes. But after he sings about ''something coming,'' he falls kind of, sort of in love (or maybe not); gets lost looking for his purpose in life; lies around moping in his apartment while takeout food cartons pile up; and when last heard from, is still very much alive, though in a continuing state of what looks like terminal uncertainty. And, oh, did I mention? He has two heads. That's literally. Figuratively, he has a lot more.
Ah, what a difference half a century makes when it comes to leading men in American musicals. Tony, originally played by Larry Kert, belonged to an era in theater when sung emotions were big, clean and uncompromising. If you felt pretty, then Miss America could just resign; if you loved somebody, then the whole planet earth turned into a star.
In ''Avenue Q,'' first staged last spring Off Broadway at the Vineyard Theater, Princeton is embodied by both an oversize hand puppet and John Tartaglia, the always visible actor who manipulates Princeton and provides his voice. And he is very clearly part of a generation whose members find question marks creeping into every sentence they utter.
Unlike the self-destructive, street-smart adolescents in ''West Side Story,'' who always seemed about to explode whenever they sang or danced, the overschooled college graduates (some furry, some fleshy) of ''Avenue Q'' look as if they might deflate as they work their way through bouncy ditties about failure, sex and the general pettiness of life.
The role models for Princeton and his sometime girlfriend, Kate Monster (Stephanie D'Abruzzo), and their underemployed chums are not the misunderstood rebels portrayed by James Dean and Marlon Brando, but the gentle, instructive and fallible cloth creatures of ''Sesame Street.''
This does not mean that the denizens of Avenue Q, an imaginary outpost of disenfranchised young New Yorkers, don't have the verve to rule a Broadway stage. Their creators, the songwriting team of Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, demonstrate that ambivalence, indecision and low expectations can be the basis for a thoroughly infectious musical.
If the plot line sometimes seems to sag and wander in the manner of its aimless characters (and its lopsided first act does go on too long), the individual performances and songs are never less than sharply focused and completely committed to the moment.
Even more than ''Rent,'' the only other show on Broadway pitched directly to theatergoers over 12 and under 40, ''Avenue Q'' shimmeringly reflects the sensibility of that demographic segment so coveted by television advertisers. For Broadway producers, who count every head in their audiences that isn't gray as a bonus, ''Avenue Q'' qualifies as a serious blessing.
Like the more abrasive and ambitious ''Jerry Springer: The Opera,'' currently onstage in London, ''Avenue Q'' dares to co-opt television, the theater's longtime adversary. This show, which has a book by Jeff Whitty and is directed by Jason Moore, addresses Americans who were weaned on the small screen, and specifically on the educational antics of friendly anthropomorphic teachers like Big Bird and Cookie Monster.
Mr. Lopez and Mr. Marx know that the songs you hear as a child are unlikely to leave your head entirely, and that whether you like it or not, such tunes and rhymes are likely to keep popping up as frames of reference for situations that on the surface could hardly seem less appropriate.
That's the delicious central conceit that infuses every element of ''Avenue Q,'' from its bright but gritty ''Sesame'' streetscape of a set (designed by Anna Louizos, and deftly scaled up for Broadway) to its archly educational animated segments, which parse words and phrases like ''commitment'' and ''one-night stand'' on video screens on either side of the stage.
But it is in its songs and performances that ''Avenue Q'' plays most piquantly on the contrasts between the world according to children's television and the reality of adult life. The nature of the twinkly songs, unfailingly tuneful and disgustingly irresistible, can be deduced from their titles: ''Everyone's a Little Bit Racist,'' ''Schadenfreude,'' ''The Internet Is for Porn'' and ''You Can Be as Loud as the Hell You Want (When You're Makin' Love).''

By Dirk Van Velzen, Timothy Pauley, Charles Ewing, William Meredith, Uimaiama Lausiva and Darrin Mounts
Margaret Mead reminded us that only a small group of committed people can change the world.
Indeed she was correct: Glaring, disturbing examples abound from 9/11 to Maurice Clemmons. Most of us in Washington, including virtually all prisoners, are aware of the tragedy that claimed the lives of Lakewood Police Officer Tina Griswold, Sgt. Mark Renninger, Officer Greg Richards and Officer Ronald Owens. As inmates at the McNeil Island Corrections Center (MICC), we can only empathize with the anguish felt by everyone.
An item we saw on the news, implying that all inmates are like Maurice Clemmons — who gunned the Lakewood Police officers — articulated that all inmates thus be stripped of all the fun things they receive while in prison: education, medical attention and entertainment, to name a few. Therefore, occupying an oft-ignored segment of the population, we feel compelled to present another side to the dialogue: The perspective of the convicted felon.
There is a substantial difference between the average inmate, and the severely disturbed, seemingly psychopathic, individual who chose to murder four human beings. Clemmons was, in the truest sense of the word, an outlier: He was something situated away from the norm. As Bill Gates, Michael Phelps and Barack Obama are outliers in a positive direction, Gary Ridgeway, Charles Manson and Maurice Clemmons are all outliers in a negative sense.
But we are specifically objecting to the notion that stripping inmates of an education is a wise choice. This sentiment earlier was manifested in the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994. Inmates were subsequently barred from receiving federal Pell grants. The result of eliminating this source of funding was the shuttering of prison college programs all over the United States. Where inmates once could develop the skills needed in the labor market post-release, they are now left to their own devices.
If inmates never left prison, this would be of no consequence. However, 93 percent of all prison inmates are eventually released, and 44 percent of those housed in state prisons are expected to be released within the year. As a result of the Pell grant preclusion, many released ex-offenders remain largely uneducated, unskilled and without the tools valued in employment. And the inability to develop in the post-release labor market has profound effects.
We all understand the desire to make our communities more inviting and safer places to live. Thus it is important to understand what a "tough on crime" approach entails. Stripping inmates of an education, unfortunately, is a "tough on criminal" approach. It involves utilizing a punishment mentality to make things miserable for those who have erred in life. If punishment produced better post-release outcomes, perhaps this would make sense; but research has shown that it does not, as our overflowing prison system demonstrates.
But what can be done? Numerous evidence-based studies quantify the value of correctional education, and we don't have to look very far to find one. A meta-analysis by the Washington State Institute for Public Policy suggests that every dollar spent on correctional education returns to society $11.09 in reduced victim costs, policing and criminal justice costs, and future prison construction and incarceration costs. Very simply, investing in correctional education saves taxpayers large amounts of money in avoided costs.
What we rarely hear about are the men and women released each year from prison who go about their lives as husbands, wives, sons, daughters. They paid their debt to society and then found a way to merge back into a normal, crime-free life when released. Success in these cases is an absence of newsworthiness and a separation from the criminal justice system. For every negative story, there are numerous positive stories that will never be told. Anonymity is their benchmark of success.
In closing, and speaking for a number of inmates here at MICC, our hearts go out to the families of Officer Griswold, Sgt. Renninger, Officer Richards and Officer Owens. And although we are limited in how we can make their situations better, we have been making a concerted effort to touch American communities as a whole, to make the world a better place. With a handful of proactive and conscientious inmates, we are taking strides forward to prepare ourselves, and our fellow inmates who one day will be reintegrated into the social fabric, with the tools needed to become positive and productive citizens. Who would you want today's ex-offender … who would you want us to be?
The authors are inmates at McNeil Island Corrections Center. They also volunteer time to the Prison Scholar Fund, a nonprofit whose mission is to empower incarcerated students to realize their post-secondary educational aspirations.

Blue Shield Wins Case Over Rescinded Health Insurance
Score one for the insurance industry in California's long-running fight over when insurers can cancel customers' policies.
A judge ruled yesterday that Blue Shield of California acted properly when it rescinded a man's coverage after he was injured in an auto accident, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Several insurers, including Kaiser Permanente, Health Net and WellPoint's Anthem Blue Cross, have been accused of waiting until patients start racking up medical bills before deciding whether to rescind coverage based on errors or omissions on the patient's application for insurance. Earlier this year, Blue Shield agreed to re-start coverage for nearly 700 such patients.
The judge's decision came mid-trial, after the plaintiffs, a couple, surprisingly stipulated that they had "willfully misrepresented and willfully omitted material information" on their application for coverage, the LAT says.
In a statement, the insurer called the decision a "complete vindication" and said it means "we acted properly every step of the way." The LAT said the plaintiffs' lawyer declined to comment.

Someone over at the Online Phish Tour wrote an article about why the Mike Gordon Band (MGB) is better than the Trey Anastasio Band (TAB). It got to me. I've seen both, though I've seen TAB many more times. I've listened to both enough to know that the general sentiment is wrong. Now, I know I recently wrote a post about the most recent TAB tour. Some issues will be rehashed, but it's not quite the same.
Comparing TAB to MGB is comparing apples to oranges. While the leaders of each of these bands might come from the same band, they are very different musicians and individuals, and it shows in their individual bands. The biggest argument made is that Trey has been a sloppy guitarist since Phish returned in 2009, and Scott Murawski is an awesome guitarist. I can't argue against either point. They're both correct. Trey has been sloppy since Phish came back. However, Trey has not been sloppy the majority of the time. Scott is an awesome guitarist and it's great that the author finally realized that, after admitting to brushing him off as a "generic jamband guitarist". They're both incredible guitarists. He concentrates on the Mound MGB did in Denver. One thing he ignores, however, is that Scott wrote two blog posts where he discusses Mound (here and here). If you read them, you see that he has struggled with it. They nailed it in Denver, but who's to say they won't another time? After all, it was sloppy in Eugene. Trey nails songs all the time, but sometimes they get away from him. It happens. It's live music. That's what it's all about. If you spend too much time concentrating on someone nailing a single song, you miss the bigger picture. The one argument against Trey that I really disagree with is that his tone is out of control. During TAB shows, Trey takes the lead, getting things going, and then lets the others have their turn. He's not always in the spotlight.
The bigger picture is that TAB and MGB, which one can only assume is the main premise behind the article, are two completely different bands. He compares pricing and venue choices. Yes, Mike is touring more out west than he is in the east. He did a bunch of east coast shows in November. TAB skipped around a lot, concentrating in the northeast. That's where he's more likely to sell out shows. Ticket price is discussed. Trey is the bigger draw, so it's more expensive. That's completely normal. And he talks about mixing up the setlists more. Yes, Mike does that. He's got different songs. Scott has different songs. His band is more diverse than Trey's. People tend not to go on TAB tour and they're playing for those at the show, not the people listening from home.
I enjoy both bands equally, but for different reasons. Mike's shows are loaded with his quirkiness. They're more like a small little known band playing small clubs. TAB is Trey's playground. He uses it to find new songs for Phish. He perfects songs for Phish. He goes out and just wants to have fun. There's no major jamming because there's no need. It's short and concise, as it should be. TAB used to jam for longer. It got boring. Mike uses his shows to experiment a bit more on his own as the leader. It rounds him out as a musician.
I have a very strong feeling that when Phish returns this summer, we're going to see Trey stepping back a bit more, allowing the others to shine and lead the jams. I have a feeling we're going to see Mike take the lead more often. I have a feeling we're going to see more Mike tunes played. What I don't think we're going to see is Trey being sloppy as much as this guy thinks he will be.
Overall, it's a weak article that lacks any direction and makes silly comparisons. I realize it's just one guy's opinion, but he could have at least made his argument a bit better. He finishes it with comparing the two bands, but throughout the article, he ignores the bands and concentrates solely on the guitarists. I'm sorry, but if you want to compare the bands, compare the bands. If you want to compare the guitarists, compare the guitarists. Do not, however, start with one and then use the other as your reasoning. It takes your article and argument nowhere. And definitely don't compare one MGB show to the entire TAB tour.

Louisville vs. UConn in women's final
Michele: Florida is filled with GOP voters. So who cares how they vote. They cheat and lie to win election results like they did in 2000 presidential race. Hanging chad my foot George and his brother Gov Jeb cheated all Americans out of the real President, Financial Business Security, and a War for over 15 years. That is still going on today with terrorists killing innocent victims. Let alone the attacks on Americans and American cities. Remember the Twin Towers, The Pentagon and the Plane crash in Pennsylvania. I wonder if Trump wins (IF) would the Donald be any different.

Begonias thrive in locations with strong, filtered light, and they do best when exposed to early or late direct sun. It's also important to protect begonias from strong winds. Almost all begonias are considered tropical plants, though some are native to the rain forest while others hail from drier locations. Overwatering is the greatest problem associated with growing begonias.
Propagating Begonias
One of the easiest ways to make more begonia plants is to propagate them using this simple leaf-cutting technique from Peace Tree Farm begonia expert Lloyd Traven.
1. Fill tray with loose potting mix.
2. Water gently.
3. Turn leaf on its back.
4. Cut into wedges with clean, sharp knife. You can trim the size of the wedge so they don't lose too much water -- remember they have no roots right now. Each piece should have a vein in it.
5. Insert leaf wedges into the tray on an angle, all facing the same direction -- that way, they won't cover the growing plant.
6. Place the plant in a humid area, or in a plastic bag out of direct sunlight. Mist sparingly, several times a day at first; after a few days, mist only as needed. You do not want water sitting on the leaves all the time, particularly at night.
7. A plant should root in approximately 3 to 4 weeks. At about 6 to 8 weeks after propagation, the new plantlet will start growing actively and should be transplanted.
Begonia Snoopy
An American hybrid with lovely flowers, the Begonia Snoopy has a lovely round, mounded shape, striking leaf markings, and an incredible chartreuse color.
Begonia Acetosa
The Acetosa has an intensely dark and smooth leaf surface with a vibrant red underside, and it's one of the oldest continually cultivated begonias. A wonderful landscape plant, this begonia has a lovely white flower that blooms during the summer months.
Begonia Hiro
Hailing from Japan, the visually stunning Begonia Hiro has ruffled edges and complex shapes that vary from plant to plant. This begonia does best when not in full sun.
Begonia Caravan
A robust growing plant, the Begonia Caravan is a specimen derived from the popular Rex Begonia. With beautiful colored leaves, the Rex Begonia can get powdery mildew, a foliar disease, that has to be combated with MilStop; the Caravan has the vibrant look of a Rex Begonia without the weaknesses.
Begonia Luxurians
This cane-type begonia can grow up to 7 feet if planted in a proper place, and it benefits from regular pruning and pinching.
Begonia Bob Hamm
With vivid green foliage and masses of bright-pink flowers that bloom in the middle of winter, the Begonia Bob Hamm is known for its beautiful shape.

A truck driver has been determined to be at fault in a truck-vs.-school bus accident that closed part of Highway 12 for 1 1/2 hours on March 18, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Surveillance video from the school bus showed that the bus was completely in its lane on the narrow stretch of the two-lane road, and that the tanker truck was over the double-yellow line when the truck sideswiped the bus shortly after 8:30 a.m.
The bus had just disgorged its student passengers at Calaveras High School, so only the driver was on board, according to the CHP.

text: Good point about his father zigbot, I'm sure he has regrets about the situation with both of his parents. Why couldn't David provide safe private care for Terry? My opinion is that he just had a real hard time dealing with mental illness. I'm sure he regrets letting so much time pass when Terry was struggling. He seems to be quite remote at points in his life. It must be terrible to find yourself in much better shape emotionally, and look back at mistakes you have made. Of course Terry was not David's ' reponsibility ', but he was family, and David had the means, if not the will.

Indian Tribes Sue New York on Online Loans
Two Indian tribes on Wednesday sued a New York regulator in an effort to preserve their ability to make online loans to the state's residents.
The tribes sought an injunction against Benjamin M. Lawsky, superintendent of New York's Department of Financial Services, in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
Earlier this month, Mr. Lawsky ordered 35 online and tribal lenders to stop offering "illegal payday loans" in New York, saying they violated a state-imposed cap on interest rates charged to consumers.
Mr. Lawsky also pressed banks and the group that oversees an electronic payments system to cut off access to those lenders.
The tribes, however, say they don't need to don't need to comply with the law of New York or other states because they enjoy sovereign status under federal law.
"The states have no authority to regulate these tribes in a way that limits their sovereign rights," said David Bernick, a lawyer with Boies Schiller & Flexner LLP, who represents the tribes. "That is a bedrock principle of law."
The lawsuit was filed by the Otoe-Missouria Tribe, located west of Tulsa, Okla., and the Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians, located near the Wisconsin-Michigan border. The Otoe-Missouria tribe operates American Web Loan Inc and Great Plains Lending LLC and the Lac Vieux tribe operates CastlePayday.com.
"Through a campaign of misrepresentations, threats, and coercion, the State of New York has launched an attack on the plaintiff Tribal Nations' inherent sovereignty," the lawsuit reads.
"It is a sad day when payday lenders are suing to make illegal predatory loans, which serve only to trap families in endless cycles of debt," said Matt Anderson, spokesperson for the New York State Department of Financial Services. "Payday loans are illegal in New York. We have respect for tribal sovereignty, but these are loans sold illegally to New Yorkers outside of tribal boundaries."
The tribal lending industry argues that it provides a vital economic development tool in remote and impoverished areas of the country, where casinos aren't big moneymakers. They say they are feeling the sting of efforts by federal and state officials to cut off access to banking services for online lenders.
Tribal lenders compare their online lending operations are similar to Indian-run casinos. They argue that their operations are legal because borrowers who take out loans agree that a tribe's law, rather than their state's law, applies to them.
Others lenders disagree with this argument. The largest 'payday' lenders, which also offer loans online, say they are careful to only offer their loans in states that allow them, and are careful to comply with state regulations.
"Bad actors tarnish the good reputation of regulated lenders who operate within a complete framework of federal and state regulations," wrote Jamie Fulmer, a spokesman for Advance America, the largest U.S. payday lender, in an e-mail earlier this month.
Mr. Fulmer said his company, which also runs an online lending operation "does not lend in New York or any state where our services are prohibited."

POINSETTIA Overview Information
Poinsettia is a flowering plant. The whole plant and its sap (latex) are used to make medicine.
Despite safety concerns, people take poinsettia to treat fever, stimulate breast milk production, and cause an abortion. They also take the latex to kill pain, kill bacteria, and cause vomiting.
Some people apply poinsettia latex directly to the skin (use topically) to remove hair, treat warts, and heal other skin disorders. It also used topically for toothaches.
How does it work?
There isn't enough information to know how poinsettia works.
POINSETTIA Uses & Effectiveness
Insufficient Evidence for:
- Fever.
- Pain.
- Infection.
- Warts, when applied directly.
- Skin disorders, when applied directly.
- Toothache, when applied directly.
- Other conditions.
POINSETTIA Side Effects & Safety
Poinsettia might be UNSAFE. It can cause skin rash; severe eye irritation; and irritation or burns to the mouth, throat, stomach, and intestinal linings.
Recent studies indicate that the plant is less toxic than once believed. The American Association of Poison Control Centers reported 22,793 cases of potential poisoning with no fatalities and 92.4% with no toxicity.
Special Precautions & Warnings:Children: Poinsettia might be UNSAFE in children when taken by mouth or applied to the skin. Poinsettia might have caused the poisoning death of a 2-year-old child.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding: It might be UNSAFE to use poinsettia if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. Don't use it.
Digestive tract disorders such as stomach ulcer, irritable bowel disease, and Crohn's disease: Poinsettia might irritate the digestive tract. Don't use it if you any of these conditions.
POINSETTIA Dosing
The appropriate dose of poinsettia depends on several factors such as the user's age, health, and several other conditions. At this time there is not enough scientific information to determine an appropriate range of doses for poinsettia. Keep in mind that natural products are not always necessarily safe and dosages can be important. Be sure to follow relevant directions on product labels and consult your pharmacist or physician or other healthcare professional before using.

Women and Gender Studies at USM has always offered students the opportunity to study the lives, ideas, and actions of women throughout history, to explore new ways of thinking about gender, and to participate meaningfully in the Greater Portland community of scholars, writers, artists, health workers, politicians, and activists. A signature program at USM—the first and still the most robust Women's Studies program in the state—we pride ourselves both on our scholarly excellence and on our contemporary relevance: as a capstone project, students either write a thesis supervised by a team of interdisciplinary scholars, or spend a semester working with one of our many community partners, of which we have over fifty. You can see who these partners are by clicking "WGS ENGAGED," a link to your right. This year, in line with changing priorities at USM, we will be expanding our already healthy list of internship possibilities. But remain assured that USM WGS students will still have the benefit of a first-rate education by active, publishing scholars with connections to a wide academic network, along with access to regional and statewide businesses and non-profit organizations.
Please come by 94 Bedford Street to talk, study, or get some help on negotiating the red tape. I am here to help!
All the best,
Director of Women & Gender Studies

Boulder, Colo. (AP) A man accused of posing as a police officer to get free porn missed a court date.
Thirty-three-year-old Andrew Libby of Longmont was due for a preliminary hearing Tuesday.
Police say he was arrested last monthon suspicion that he told an adult novelty store clerk that he needed to check some x-rated videos for underage actors for a police "age verification unit." Libby didn't get any films.
Public Defender Kristi Sanders said the last she heard was that her client was being evaluated at a mental health facility but that he might have been taken to the Colorado Mental Health Institute in pueblo. Prosecutors weren't sure of Libby's whereabouts either.
A judge ordered the parties to appear in court again Thursday.

Love this piece! I bought 2 to use together or seperate!
Nice versatile piece for my living room has a good mix of rustic/industrial/traditional.
Love the rounded shape for my staircase/hallway. No sharp corners. Depth is perfect for a narrow-ish space.
Yes, I bought it on sale but this console is great! It comes completely assembled. No sharp corners and not your usual piece of furniture. I am waiting for the side table to be in stock so I can purchase it also. I wish it was also available in brown finish.

After the long summer break, the officially named Outstanding Comedy Series, Modern Family, returned last night--and I'm so happy to have it back! (Congratulations to the whole show and to Eric Stonestreet for his win for Best Supporting Actor--you deserved it!) Just to hear Gloria's accent, Phil's dorky voice, and see Manny's chubby face brought such a smile to my face. I have to say the show wasn't at its best last night. It felt a little self aware in the new season, playing into its own jokes a little too much, and less subtly, but either way, there's no other family I would've rather spent thirty minutes with. In the first season (click for my full season recap), the Pritchett-Dunphy-Tucker crew was just getting to know each other and hilariously adjusting to their new family. Now at the start of the new season, the kids are growing up, and this episode is all about accepting change. To recap--here are each of the family's highlights:
The Dunphys
The Dunphys (Phil, specifically) were definitely the highlight of this episode: Claire tells Phil it's time to sell the old car in the garage, and Phil doesn't want to so she challenges him that he can't sell the car (insulting Phil's skills as a salesman), so he obviously does. Then, going through the car, Claire gets sentimental and doesn't want to let it go. She tells Phil he can't do anything to make her feel better--unless he can build her a time machine. Leave it to Phil to take that seriously, he pretty cutely turns the car into a time machine for the night--once again making us realize why they're so great together. Phil's the only one dorky enough to make the time machine but Claire is the only one dorky enough to love it.
Phil to the camera (after Claire challenged his selling skills): "You can insult a lot of things about me, my hair, my voice, my balance board exercises, but don't insult my selling bc that crosses a line, what line? Oh, you don't see it? That's 'cause I just sold it."
The best line--about the picture from the Rosebowl:
Luke: "Mom, you look really pretty [...] So what happened?"
Phil: "Well Lukey, everyone gets older, just because parts of your mom aren't what they used to be--"
Luke:"-- I mean, what happened in the game?" Every.Time.
Phil: "We got our butts kicked by Penn State, the parade was awesome though, Angela Lansbury was the grand marshal--good times, she wrote." (As he smiles up at the camera).
Haley has notably detached her cell phone from her hand this season.
Luke and Alex have the same interaction--Alex making fun of his innocently stupid jar of sunshine:
Luke:" No! No, no, don't, don't open it."
Alex: "You think you trapped sunshine in there? I'm just letting you know now, I'm not taking care of him when you guys die."
Phil's Mnemonic devices (pronounces the M):
Claire: "I think its mnemonic," (pronounced correctly)
Phil: "I think I'd remember."
Luke, who's truly Phil's son, goes to help remember the caller's name "You can do it, dad!"
Phil: "He looked like the drummer from Foreigner, a foreigner's from France, France rhymes with ants, ants ruin a picnic, whatsup nick (high-five)!"
Phil to Claire: "Guess what! You said I couldn't sell this well you're gonna be eating humble pie, [...] In your face, girl with a negative tattoo."- haha, because Phil would be making wordplay jokes with this summer's hit The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo".
Calming Claire down about the car, we get both gadgety Phil and sensitive Phil:
"Whoa, you're leaving out a few great minutes there, retirement, old age, cool chair that goes up the stairs."
"Don't apologize, I love you when you're human."
As the car starts to slide away, Phil jumps on and tries to save it (the past) for dear life but has to let it go--signifies change in season.
One of the better, most realistic moments was when Haley and Alex are cracking up, imitating Claire "What's the plan, Phil??" They never imitated their parents last season, they're growing up and could make for funny mimicking this season.
The Pritchett-Tuckers--Cam/Mitchell/Lily plus Jay
Mitchell and Cam are building Lily a princess castle, which was a role-reversal for the two of them. Mitchell sounds like Cam and Cam sounds like Mitchell--it's usually Cam with the crazy ideas and Mitchell who needs to control him, but with the princess castle, Mitch's inner princess comes out, and it's him who needs to be controlled.
Mitchell: " I fancy myself as a bit of a castle designer, I've done a few sketches."
Cam: "which we have archived, so we can use the kit."
Cam, after all, a drummer and football player, is better with his hands, and more "manly" in that sense. With this role reversal, unfortunately, and I think the weakest point of the episode, was that we didn't get enough of Cam's flamboyance and high pitch. Conversely, Mitchell was much less annoying than I found him last season and actually kinda funny (though I may just like him more after watching him tear up during Stonestreet's Emmy acceptance speech).
Mitchell to Jay and Cam: "Oh my god, you are, you're like...in cahoots! [...] I was an intern at the Sondberg summer play house, do you think that the town of Brigadoon just magically appeared [...] the Von Trapp Mansion, Evita's balcony (throwing his hands up)!"
Building the princess house ironically calls into play who's manlier, with Mitchell feeling the need to prove himself. Jay, who has become somewhat of a mediator, brings up the difference between the roles.
Jay tells Cam: "So what if he can't swing a hammer? Look at all he has done, law school, great career, providing for his family, that's manly too, isn't it? I mean in the classical sense."
Cam: "Well yes, I mean I also think it takes a big man to quit his career as a music teacher and raise a child."
Cam's best line--to Jay: "He wants to feel like a regular Joe, like you and I, oh pardon moi, I prefer the champagne Dijon to the standard yellow."
Jay's best line--about building a bookshelf with Mitch in the past: "That was my Vietnam...and I was in Vietnam."
Continuity with the pigeon flying into the castle while Mitchell's stuck inside--revenge for the finale and a constant issue with pigeons.
The Pritchett-Delgados Gloria/Jay/Manny
Since Jay was off building a princess castle, their story was really Manny and Gloria's and it was a showdown between Gloria and Manny's new girlfriend (err--girl who's "just coming over to study the lifecycle of silk worms") Kelly. Gloria was the second funniest part of the episode, feeling threatened by the new girl putting her notes in Manny's notebook and has him swearing off trans-fats.
Gloria warns us from the beginning about Columbian mothering--"my culture mothers are very clingy to their sons [...] I am not like that, I just want my Manny to be happy" But of course this means she will be...
The chocolate milk with salt showdown:
Gloria: So how is it going?
Manny: Great, Kelly's moving her stuff into my notebook.
Gloria: This is sudden.
Kelly: It just felt right. Oh, you know what you should do, put a pinch of salt in the chocolate milk, it really brings out the flavor.
Gloria: Salt is for the popcorn.
Manny: Sounds good.
Gloria: You wouldn't like it.
Kelly (defiantly): Maybe we should let Manny decide.
Gloria: Okay, here's the salt. We'll see what he likes.
Manny tries both (even though it didn't look like very much came out of Kelly's salt shake):
Manny: Wow! It's great! Try it, Mom.
Gloria: I don't care for it
Her best line of the episode, defeated and in her accent, she tells the camera, "It was delicious."
Instead of going to see the movie with "Shia LaBOOOF," Manny leaves her to go out to dinner, more continuity--"I'll wear my burgundy dinner jacket" (recalling one of my favorite lines from last season: "But if this so-called Santa Claus doesn't bring me a burgundy dinner jacket, we're going to have a big problem.")
And of course, he comes back, she didn't like his dinner jacket and she ordered for him. No go: "I don't want to be with someone who doesn't get me. Do we have any trans-fats left?"
Always the ladies man, he then calls Alicia-"she's a girl in my history class, we like to play six degrees of Sir Francis Bacon." Aw.
Phil brings us to a close with the lesson of the episode (which is often Jay's role): "It's gonna be tough to say goodbye, it always is, nobody loves change, but part of life is learning to let things go."
With that, they bring us into season two-- it's time to watch them change. I think what it was missing was more interaction between the families and a full-family scene, but we were just getting re-situated, it was the first episode, and something tells me they're just warming up. Welcome Back!
Winner of the Episode: Phil

Duplicate Content Is Not A SEO Crime
Oct 18th
Posted by admin in Uncategorized
"Duplicate content" refers to the same article being published on multiple pages online. This term is usually associated with how the various search engines perceive an article that is published on many sites online.
There is some misunderstanding about how search engines regard identical content. Many people, including some webmasters, will tell you that duplication of your copy or content on various websites will hurt your SEO, not improve it.
And while this may have been true at one time, in 2010 it's a myth.
Google does NOT punish an author, copywriter or website for having an article published on more than one website. This is because the whole goal of article marketing is to have your article republished or cited on as many sites as possible.
Search engines don't regard it as being a bad thing to have a piece of content published on multiple sites, though they will most likely only show a couple instances of the article in their search results.
Most online publishers or article directories are ok with duplicate content as well, provided that you are the exclusive copyright holder of the copy. That's because the entire purpose of these directories is to provide free reprint articles for news aggregators, More >
Get The Balance Right

Which is more important for content, the ability to communicate directly with visitors… or the search engine rankings it creates?
On the one extreme, imagine a website (or blog post, etc.) that is complete nonsense gibberish. Maybe envision something written in Chinese characters, assuming that's a language you don't understand. Now let's say these random bits of code or symbols somehow rank quite well with the search engines, the very first organic result in fact.
What have you accomplished as a business or organization in this case?
Sure, loads of people may stumble upon your website, but once they get there what do you think will happen? Do you think they will "convert" to customers?
On the other end of the spectrum, imagine a block of written text that is so eloquent, so persuasive… that once a visitor reads it, they instantly want to become a customer, or donor, volunteer, etc.
However, because of the way it is written, it actually has zero SEO value. As such, it is invisible to the search engines, and no one who doesn't already know your website exists will ever find it.
What has your business accomplished here? This example is marginally better than the first one; at least you More >
Purchasing Content: More Effective Than Web Advertising?
Mar 22nd
Posted by admin in Uncategorized
You have probably heard many sources online, including Hat Trick Associates, talk about the future of the Internet and how vital web content has become to the search engines and your SEO efforts of your website. Ideally, you want new content on your site every single time the Google crawler or one of the other large engines index your website. So a common question we hear from clients is, what is more effective for growing my website and doing more business in the future: Using my online marketing budget on advertising, or using those same resources to create more fresh content?
The answer may surprise you! Here are more vital web content-related statistics:
- More than 8 out of 10 Internet users look on search engines first to find information on the products or services they want to buy
- Up to 86% of searchers will ignore paid listings, or other advertising they know has been purchased as opposed to organic results
- On the flip side, 64% of the top natural (organic) listings will get click thrus
The reasons are fairly simple – people typically want to feel as if they have "discovered" the solution to their problem – the product, service or brand that they need – on their own. Which More >

The first edition of Womens Bodies, Womens Wisdom was based on my many years as an OB/GYN physician. I had seen everything that could go wrong with the female body, up close, and wanted to give women guidance on how to truly flourish in their bodies not just avoid disease.Because the body is so highly influenced by our beliefs, I knew that I had to introduce an entirely new way of viewing the female body, so thats what I did in Womens Bodies, Womens Wisdom.I believe that every womanand the men who love themcan benefit from the new version of Womens Bodies, Womens Wisdom. Its chock full of new, updated, life-saving information that every woman should know. Christiane Northrup, M.D.
These are some of the highlights of the new edition of Womens Bodies, Womens Wisdom:
- New material on sexualityand how to have a more fulfilling sex life.
- The spiritual and scientific principles behind healing from terminal illnesses, and how you can utilize these principles for your own health and the health of others.
- Vital information about how to truly dissolve PMS and ease menstrual cramps.
- Extraordinary facts on Vitamin Dand why it is crucial for breast, cardiovascular, and immune system health.
- The importance of the pre-conception diet and how to greatly decrease the risk of birth defects.
- How to birth naturally, despite the current induction and C-section epidemic.
- All you need to know about thyroid function, including proper blood tests.
- Life-saving facts about cellular inflammationthe root cause of all chronic degenerative diseasesand how to prevent this condition.
- The essentials on the fountain of youth moleculeand how to enhance your levels of it for vibrant health.
