The Perseid Meteor Shower Event was scheduled for August 13 – 14, 2015 at the Mercure Grand Hotel Jebel Hafeet – Al Ain. Even though the meteor shower peaked theprevious night, the night was not without its fair share of meteors streaking through the night sky. Onlookers counted up to 75 meteors after midnight till around 2 AM.
The event started at 9 PM on August 13 with the telescope observations as people looked on in awe at the marvels of the rings to Saturn. There were intermittent presentations by CEO of Dubai Astronomy Group, Hasan Al Hariri, where he spoke of the Perseid meteor shower and also gave the crowd a taste of the videos and images of the meteors they had captured the previous night.

Kitty Hooch has an interesting story. In 2001 we started our business with $60 in grocery money. Virtually every aspect of our business breaks with the conventional models. We feel the market niche we serve has been in need of quality, value and new ideas. Read about it here and be sure to look at our 110% favorite toy guarantee.
Your cat deserves the very best! Just keep an eye on the mail!
When it comes to Catnip both Thor and I are snobs. He won't play or get so excited about anyone else's catnip except for Kitty Hooch! I will never try anyone else's product but yours. We moved away to AZ a couple of years ago. Lucky for us you have web service! Not only that but I have never seen anyone else respond so quickly! You are the best. Thank you for all that you do for the awesome cats in the world! Keep up the good work and have a wonderful day!
We were in Mud Bay in 2004 when they had a hand full of stores. Now they have over 40 and are opening stores at a frenzied pace. We are delighted to be supplying them the Mouse, Fish, Nip Bird and Gato Ganja. We may sell them more in the future.
If you have a Mud Bay near you please stop by and tell them your story, perhaps get some Gato Ganja.
Kitty Hooch started when we discovered our cats we thought didn't like catnip toys did like catnip. So we made catnip toys and they loved it. We discovered the entire industry had abandoned quality in pursuit of profit and price competition. Since 2001 our customers have applauded our work, shaped our vision and inspired new designs and products. Kitty Hooch has always been interactive. Help us continue to better service to you, our valued customers.
Our simple concepts... Quality and value are always better than cheap trash. Products should exceed expectations. Organic catnip and recycled materials are sensible solutions. Safety is tantamount to design. Your cat deserves the vary best. Kitty Hooch is the very best, and the only cat care products that come with satisfaction guarantees. Our mission is to insure every Kitty Hooch product is the most carefully researched and lovingly produced anywhere. We settle for nothing less than excellence.
We hope you enjoy our Kitty Hooch.

Pavlik Eyes Big HBO Fight in The Fall, Prefers Carl Froch
By Keith Idec
If Kelly Pavlik handles his business against Will Rosinsky on July 7, the former middleweight champion expects to secure a high-profile fight that'll be scheduled for sometime in the fall.
Of all the options in the deep super middleweight division, Pavlik's preference is to challenge another fighter who has knocked out Jermain Taylor. He knows, however, that he might have to settle for someone other than Carl Froch if Froch pursues rematches against Mikkel Kessler or Lucian Bute.
"I would like to fight [Carl] Froch," Pavlik said while promoting the Rosinsky fight. "But here's the big thing — that weight class is loaded. No matter which way you go, it's just a loaded weight class, with talent. So [I'll take] any big fight right now. At this stage, [I want] a big fight. Whatever opens up, whatever opportunity presents itself, is going to be the big one. Whatever sanctioning body, it don't matter.
"But like I said, because of the heated words and some of the things that Froch has said before, it kind of irked me a little bit. But it would be him. He just beat Bute, but Bute is probably still not out of the question. I would like to have that fight. But the main thing it comes down to is, whatever opens up. I could want to fight any of these guys, but if one of them signs on to fight somebody else, or Froch might take a fight with this person, and it could be four or five months from now. So it's just whatever opportunity presents itself."
Pavlik (39-2, 34 KOs) was supposed to box Bute on Nov. 5 in Montreal, but the Youngstown, Ohio, native was displeased with his proposed purse ($1.35 million) and withdrew from a tune-up fight against Darryl Cunningham, which was scheduled for last Aug. 6 in Youngstown. The Bute bout was subsequently scrapped and Pavlik didn't fight again until he stopped Aaron Jaco (15-3, 5 KOs) in the second round March 31 in San Antonio.
Froch (29-2, 21 KOs) has since demolished Bute (30-1, 24 KOs), who is owed a Froch rematch if the Montreal-based boxer wants one. Regardless, Pavlik's promoters at Top Rank Inc. think he'll be more than ready for a more meaningful fight if he defeats Rosinsky (16-1, 9 KOs) in what will be the 30-year-old Pavlik's third fight in barely three months.
"We're looking for a big fight," said Bob Arum, Top Rank's founder and chief executive officer. "HBO wants him in the fall, in a big fight, on HBO. The question then is who is available, and it's all the usual suspects. So we'll see what the best opportunity is, but if Kelly is successful on July 7th and looks good, then it's on to a big fight."
HBO will televise the Pavlik-Rosinsky fight as part of a "Boxing After Dark" doubleheader from Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif. The main event will match WBO champion Nonito Donaire (28-1, 18 KOs), of San Leandro, Calif., against IBF title-holder Jeffrey Mathebula (26-3-2, 14 KOs), of Brakpan, South Africa, in a 12-round, 122-pound unification fight.
Keith Idec covers boxing for The Record and Herald News, of Woodland Park, N.J., and BoxingScene.com.

She was hired to be front desk and was told that she would have to come in for a try out bases for one day and if they liked the way she worked she would be hired. She was so excited about the job and how nice the people she was working for. Yeah that was not even close to the truth
Hired she was but no thanks to the two no class bosses of hers would after a week of working with my daughter they fired her. These bosses(Julie and Leslie) so called made my daughter drive all the way with gas prices the way they are to take her as soon as she walked in the door to the back to tell her she has no job any more and told her due to not being outgoing enough. What did them except she was there for a week and her employer did not even bring any thing to her attention to give her a chance to improve like coaches to player.
This company is not worth the time to spend money into. If they have no concern for people feeling how can we the community expects them to handle customers any better.

Anyway, I would HIGHLY recommend this salon to anyone, and I have. I absolutely loved coming here (and did faithfully about every 5 weeks for a couple of years) and wished that they would open a Goldwaves East Salon in my neck of the woods because every other salon I have been to pales in comparison in terms of friendly employees and welcoming attitudes!

Texas is an At Will State
AUTHOR: Texas Recruiter - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, September 06, 2007POSTED: Thursday, September 06, 2007
The front desk is the toughest position to hire for any business. This is the first person that anyone sees or hears and represents that business. This person should have a fantastic attitude all the times, be dressed appropriately every day and have excellent customer services skills.
After a good day on a front desk you are forgiven for many mistakes. It typically takes a few days to see if a person can handle the job. If a business owner doubts for a second that the front desk person they hired will not work or isn't a true asset, the best decision they can make is to replace this person. I applaud the owners for having the dignity to let her go in person, the cowardly thing to do would have been to call, email or, in cases as of late, to text message.
Texas is an AT WILL EMPLOYMENT STATE. At-will employment is a doctrine of American law that defines an employment relationship in which either party can terminate the relationship with no liability if there was no express contract for a definite term governing the employment relationship. Under this legal doctrine:
any hiring is presumed to be "at will"; that is, the employer is free to discharge individuals "for good cause, or bad cause, or no cause at all," and the employee is equally free to quit, strike, or otherwise cease work.
While I feel for your daughter that she was fired because no one likes to be fired. These are what we call life experiences! I have to say that in my years of recruiting I have been well aware of the Baby Boomer Generation Parents being very involved in their children the "Y" generation in the process of getting a job but ..being very involved in the FIRING is a new one for me. WOW!

Kefir "Orange Julius"
Serves 2
- 1 cup whole or low-fat milk
- 1 tsp. milk kefir grains
- 1½ cups fresh orange juice (from 4-5 medium oranges)
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- ¼ cup sugar
- 15 ice cubes
Enter your friends email address below and your name so they know who it's from
Serves 2
1. Pour milk into pint-size glass jar, and stir in kefir grains. Cover jar with several layers of cheesecloth or paper towels, and secure with rubber band.
2. Store jar at room temperature out of direct sunlight and allow kefir to ferment until thickened. (Healthy kefir grains will thicken milk in 24 hours, though this process may take as few as 12 hours in warmer temperatures, or as long as 48 hours in cooler temperatures.) Check kefir periodically to gauge thickness.
3. When mixture reaches desired thickness, strain kefir into glass, stirring gently until only kefir grains remain in strainer. (To keep kefir grains viable, stir into new batch of milk within 48 hours.)
4. Combine prepared kefir, orange juice, vanilla, and sugar in blender. Pulse to combine. Blend in ice cubes individually until as creamy and frothy as you like. Taste, and blend in more sugar to sweeten as desired.June 2014 p.34

Monitorix 1.0.0 Monitors Hardware and Software
Version 1.0.0 of the Monitorix monitoring program has just been released. It now shows fan speeds, and CPU, motherboard and hard disk temperatures among other system data.
The Perl application relies on the LM-Sensors and HDDTemp programs. Monitorix uses a Web interface with automatically generated diagrams to display temperatures and other system information. The new graph can display the temperatures of up to nine hard disks and 4 CPUs. The program needs an Apache webserver and Perl version 5.005 or newer for the graphical display.
Monitorix can monitor a variety of system data on Unix/Linux systems: CPU load and memory usage, hard disk usage and I/O, up to five NICs and services such as Samba, HTTP, SSH, POP, and SMTP. The program, which can monitor both local machines and numerous remote hosts, has special support for HP Proliant server Insight management agents.
The program uses RRDTool for logging and to create graphics. The configuration is stored in a simple text file as "/etc/monitorix.conf".
A download of version 1.0.0 is available on the Monitorix homepage subject to the GPLv2 license. Besides a source code archive, there are RPM packages for Red Hat and related distributions such as Fedora and Centos.

I understand they are in business to make a living... essentially to make money, but their process is caring for cattle -- they herd you through the appointments and procedures with next to little TLC and as long as they get their money, they really don't care about the patient's comfort or their ultimate condition.
I have and will highly recommend Dr. Joel Saal, MD. Although he can appear to be "all business," he really seems passionate about making sure his patients receive the care they need.
Has yet to figure out anything conclusive as to a diagnosis; it's been three months. Wait times are absolutely absurd, and he's *never* less than half an hour late. Supposedly he saw something worth investigating while doing an ultrasound on my wrist, but I have no more conclusive information than "huh, that's funny." Oh, and thank you very much for both forgetting the anesthetic spray for cortisone injections AND not mentioning the forty-eight-hour flare-up of inflammation afterward.
Because Dr. Saal is so full of himself, I wanted to ask him if he ever felt the need to ever eat... It's too bad because he may be a good doctor, but it's hard to get past his arrogance...
I saw Dr Saal for a severe lumbar spine injury. I have never encountered a man as rude as Dr Saal in my life. He would sware and throw things at me and his staff if things weren't set up just right. During an epidural procedure when he injected the wrong level, he screamed at me, like it was my fault. He may be accurate in diagnosing problems, but I would never wish his treatment on anyone. I am actually surprised he is allowed to practice medicine! Please be careful about choosing him to "care" for you.
I saw this doctor for tingling in my neck. After waiting 45 min, he treated me like a child and dismissed every thing I had to say. He never listened to me and snapped back when I asked questions (as if I were stupid). He left twice during for personal cell phone calls while I waited in the room! He then said we'd fix it with cortisone shots to my neck! I left and never went back. Fixed my problem with Physical Therapy. He has the worst bedside manner I've ever experienced!!
I am a Firefighter who suffered a possible career ending neck injury(ceiling collapse)Dr. Saal was able to diagnose & aggressively treat my injury.I ended up having surgery and rehab as well as acupuncture.because of his expertise I am able to continue working and support my family.I am forever grateful
Dr. Saal was unfortunately rude from the get go. His bedside manner is poor. When answering his questions about my problem he barked at me to "Report, not respond!" He was condenscending, defensive, and unaware of his impact on others. I will never see this doctor again!
Fabulos doctor, caught what other doctor missed, and got me on my way to improved health and mobililty.
Dr Saal, well thought out diagnosis, fully explained situation.Best in the business
I have many problems ,it suffices to say that I know Doctors and this one is not for me. He was suppose to be a second opinion on some neck problems for me. He told me he didnt believe the nerve study i had done. Disagreed with the MRI findings in my neck. I have had three doctors not to mention the radiologist find several issues-this guy dismisses them all with a 10 min review of my 12 year case. UGHHHHH. Go elsewhere please
He conducted an unnecessary test that he admits has a 15% likelihood of spotting the issue (it found nothing). He ran another test that involved inserting anesthetic into my nerve and he waited until the needle was inches from my arm to explain that if he placed the needle wrong my arm could be permanently paralyzed. His "bedside manner" completely freaked me out. In the end the information resulting from his tests was an expensive waste of time and proved nothing. I received the correct diagnosis elsewhere.
I visited this doctor once because I had a recommendation for his clinic. I refused to schedule a followup with him because he was unpleasant, sarcastic and wierdly defensive. Apparently I'm not alone in my assessment; one of his peers says he's known as "Ichabad Crane" for his sour disposition.

Governor Inslee signed the Expanded SNAP Distribution Dates bill into law on March 29, 2016. This law enables our suppliers and grocers to maximize their fresh fruit and vegetable inventories and ensure the most popular items are in stock and available to SNAP participants.
The new distribution dates allow SNAP recipients an extended period of time to shop. Store employees may also benefit because their hours can be distributed throughout the month rather than having most of them scheduled in the first ten days of the month.
In the picture at right, Governor Inslee congratulates the bill's prime sponsor Representative Teri Hickel (R-30). He is honoring the tradition of presenting the bill sponsor with the pen used to sign the bill into law.

Welcome to the Bobby Petrino School of Spectacularly Bad Decision-Making!
Here at the School, we'll teach you how to thoroughly evaluate any situation...and make the worst possible decision about your next move.
Let's take a look at this free introductory video welcome from Bobby...
[Tape rolls]
"Hi, I'm Bobby Petrino. Following a successful 2006 season at Louisville, I had the top college quarterback in the nation forgo the NFL to come back for his senior season and help lead us to a national championship.
"But I looked around, thought hard, and said, 'No, you know what? I'm going to leave this job for one with those cellar-dwellers of the NFL, the Atlanta Falcons. I've noticed that their quarterback, Michael Vick, has had a few run-ins with the law, and his completion percentage has been dropping the past two seasons!'"
[Video shows Vick overthrowing running backs, underthrowing wide receivers, and flipping off Atlanta fans. Back to Petrino.]
"Now that my quarterback's in prison and my team is 3-10, I'm looking for another crap situation to step into. I looked around at college jobs and thought, 'What one head coaching position in America is utterly dependent on the best player in college football who just happens to be leaving to go to the NFL?'"
[Cut to shot of Darren McFadden running past opponents. Back to Petrino.]
"Why Arkansas? Here's a free lesson for you on my patented decision-making process:
"I was considering Arkansas and Michigan, but I realized that Arkansas would be completely devastated by the loss of McFadden, while Michigan would only be set back by the graduation of Chad Henne and Mike Hart.
"So my decision was easy!
"I also want you to know that in taking the Arkansas job, I passed up another lucrative offer—head of programming for HBO."
[Cut to shot of Sopranos wrap party, overlain with newspaper headline reading: "What Will Happen To HBO Without The Sopranos?" Back to Petrino.]
"But just because I've stepped into another disastrous situation, I don't want you to think this is the end of the line for ol' Bobby. No, siree. I plan to coach here for a few years and prepare myself for my return to the NFL...
"As head coach of the New England Patriots the year after Tom Brady retires!"

Skip to comments.Kerry's Real Gaffe
Posted on 10/20/2004 6:09:01 AM PDT by jhigh
Did you catch John Kerry's gaffe in the third debate?
No, not the one about Mary Cheney being born a lesbian. That abusive and cynical outburst produced gasps in living rooms around the nation and certainly cost Kerry votes.
But there was a more serious gaffe in the debate. It revealed how Kerry's vision of government is at odds not just with that of George Bush but with that of America's founders. In answer to a question about gay marriage, Kerry said: "Because we are the United States of America, we're a country with a great, unbelievable Constitution, with rights that we afford people, that you can't discriminate in the workplace. You can't discriminate in the rights that you afford people."
"A gaffe," as columnist Michael Kinsley once wrote, "is when a politician tells the truth." In this case, Kerry's gaffe is an inadvertent statement of what he--and many on the left--believe is the truth but is actually false and dangerous.
The key phrase was "rights that we afford people." This was no mistake. He said it twice.
Kerry believes that the United States government, through the Constitution, "affords" rights to Americans. My dictionary defines "afford," in this context as "give, grant, confer." In other words, we fortunate, benighted Americans have a country, a government that grants us rights.
That's an utterly inaccurate reading of the great documents of the founding of this nation. Our government does not grant us any rights at all. On the contrary, Americans start off with rights, and it is we who grant the government certain limited powers to protect those rights.
(Excerpt) Read more at realclearpolitics.com ...
Wow. What a commercial this would be.
Wow. What a commercial this would be.
Exactly. . .they are "endowed by our creator."
By god you're right. Very very good!
This has been churning for a while now between both this statement and later when he said the Constitution gives us rights. I'm really glad we're not the only ones to see it. Let's hope more people are made aware of this.
Seriously man, this should be sent right to the leaders of the Bush campaign. You know anyone with a direct line?
I in fact did notice that and it wsa discussed here briefly, but it would be good if more were made of it.
It shows that he doesn't understand the Constitution of the US.
"That's an utterly inaccurate reading of the great documents of the founding of this nation. "
What Kerry said is right on par with socialist documents though. hmmmm...
Given the current state of education in this country not too many people would understand why it's a gaffe.
Its no surprise actually.
The left has always thought that the government should control their lives.
From affirmative action to religion, the left looks to the government for support.
It is the right, the Conservatives that think we the people should lead the government, and in doing so take responsibility for our own position in life.
Maybe this is why the majority of business owners are Republicans.
Leaders look to themselves to do what is needed.
Followers look to the leaders to tell them what to do.
I'll get back to this later (I hope I remember). I have video of the entire debate.
I watched Jay Sekulow the other night on TV and he said that the whole idea behind the Constitution is that at the very begninning it acknowledges mans rights and freedoms are given to us by our Creator, something Bush has said over and over (that should make the "true conservative" and "constitutionalist conservative" crowds happy!), and that the Governments job is to "protect those rights
Then he said Kerry wants to change it so that it is the Government that supplies those right and determines them for us.
"You shall have no other Gods before me", and I think that includes the Government.
If I can find text of Sekulow's interview I will post it.
Yeah, I with TigersEye on this one. Most people are quite comfortable with the notion that the government affords them rights. Nine out of ten people will just look at you funny when you bring this up. Those musty old historical figures who wrote the Constitution just didn't understand what it would be like today, don'tcha know?
a glance into a liberals heart and brain. Government provides for US. The founders and conservatives know it is US that give government the power.
Bush emphasized several times with crowd enthusiasm that we were endowed by our Creator - not by our Government leaders in his stump speeches- apparently he caught the arrogant gaffe as well!
People like Kerry, Kennedy, Schumer, Fine-Swine, Barney Franks, Janet Reno and Clintons sees it as their birthrights to take it away piece by piece and to have the USA kowtowing to the like of blackman and Christian Mass Murderer Kofi Annan.
I'm not going to appoint a judge to the Court who's going to undo a constitutional right, whether it's the First Amendment, or the Fifth Amendment, or some other right that's given under our courts today -- under the Constitution. And I believe that the right of choice is a constitutional right.
He is truly a DANGEROUS man!
"Because we are the United States of America, we're a country with a great, unbelievable Constitution, with rights that we afford people, that you can't discriminate in the workplace. You can't discriminate in the rights that you afford people."
I think he is dumb too.
It is fair to say that we do have a right of choice.
However, when that choice involves murder, it becomes a choice that is not acceptable.
gaff = gaffe
Absolutely. I caught that when he said it and I told my wife that's exactly why I could never vote for a modern liberal. If they 'afford' me my rights, they can dis-afford them too. Any politician who fails to realize that my rights were endowed upon me by my Creator is unfit for office.
"Rights" are constantly claimed but many are bogus. Jesse Jerkson believes there is a "right" to health care, affordable housing, reparations for his brain-dead admirers, clean air, clean water, a job, the list is virtually endless.
Governments do not recognize many claimed "rights" and their proponents just keep howling at the moon.
Our Bill of Rights recognizes certain rights as fundamental the rest are just more Leftist puffery.
This is a none starter or worse since many of the moochers and leeches DO believe that they have a "right" to what is in my wallet.
To Kerry, Liberals and huge chunks of our dumbed-down electorate which were "educated" in publick sckoolz, this basic concept does not register and is in fact foreign in the extreme. To them, our rights are conferred by men, or government, and therefore may be changed or taken away by the same. Kerry speaks to, and for, them.
Kerry does not speak from ignorance but from knowing malice.
It's the basic "Conflict of Visions" that Sowell writes about in his book by that name.
The left sees certain individuals (of their ideology) as being endowed with enough wisdom, intelligence, experience, morality, and virtue to
make decisions for the rest of us better than we can for ourselves. It is a basic core belief (if there is such a thing in a person like Kerry).
See 26. This will go nowhere fast.
Good post. BTTT.
It's a simple test, really. If you claim a right that incurs an involuntary cost on another individual, it is not a right.
I agree!
placemarker for later
We have rights, but they aren't given to us by the courts. He realized what he'd said and corrected himself by saying "under the Constitution."
This is deadly stuff. John F. Kerry has a fundamental misunderstanding about the nature of govenment. It is very serious. He is disqualified, in my opinion, from serving as president. This needs to be trumpeted far and wide!
Thus, you believe there is a right for Gays to get married.
The Traitor must have a foot fetish because every time he opens his mouth he sticks his foot in it! LMAO
He gives a whole new meaning to the term "educated fool."
That inflicts the involuntary cost of devaluing the traditional family.
I really don't know where you jumped to the conclusion that you did...
Very true. Dennis Prager adds that while the right holds dear the traditional American value of liberty, the left is more concerned with equality.
well.....DUH....but the liberals will never understand that...they believe all rights and good things flow from the goobermint to the sheeple,..but in fact, its supposed to be the other way around. Liberals dont get this basic fact: God-People-Goobermint. the natural and real order of things.
The Capt.
GWB and the RNC should be made aware of this.
Such subject factors can never be considered objective.
It is easy to claim that increased expenditures on health increases productivity and therefore economic activity which benefits everyone.
Almost everything imposes "involutary costs" on someone which is one of the reasons government grows as the societies become more complex.
There was a reason the BoR listed specific rights.
and your interpretation is specifically why the founders balked at a listing of rights.
They were concerned that those rights listed would be considered to be the only rights that the government couldn't infringe on - Kerry's view.
In reality, people hold ALL rights, and the government is only allowed to infringe on those rights in the areas that it is specifically authorized to.
What about when JF'nK said somenting about (paraphrase from memory)"...interpert the Constitution according to law..."
The reason the BoR was explicit was because those were the only ones they could agree on. It is true that Hamilton and Madison did not want a BoR for the reason you stated. But to secure the support of the ideologues (generally nutcases) for the Constitution they promised to pass the BoR as soon as possible.
I place little concern for nebulous lists of "rights" since there is no universal agreement on many as my initial list demonstrates. Most of those who do seem to be ideologues to me.
I remembered that so I went looking for it. Is this the one?
From the second debate (1st paragraph for some context):
KERRY: Will we have equal opportunity? Will women's rights be protected? Will we have equal pay for women, which is going backwards? Will a woman's right to choose be protected?
These are constitutional rights, and I want to make sure we have judges who interpret the Constitution of the United States according to the law.
Oooh. Good catch!
But just as an aside: "rights that we afford people" is too complicated a phrase for the average Dumbocrat to absorb anyway. Even if it is said very slowly.

Long-term declines in nest success of prairie ducks
Journal of Wildlife Management
- By:
- W.D. Beauchamp, Rolf R. Koford, T.D. Nudds, R. Clark, and D.H. Johnson
- Document: Document (html)
- Download citation as: RIS
AbstractIncreased predation on nests of ducks in prairie uplands, as a result of habitat alteration, has been hypothesized to cause decreased nest success and population sizes. We tested whether, and by how much, nest success declined using data compiled from 37 studies conducted between 1935 and 1992 at 67 sites in the Prairie Pothole Region of Canada and the United States. Nest success declined (P = 0.0002) over time, but time explained only 10% of the variation; precipitation (P = 0.79) did not account for additional variation in nest success. Nest success declined at similar (P = 0.13) rates among 5 species, but late nesters (gadwall [Anas strepera], blue-winged teal [A. discors] and northern shoveler [A. clypeata]) had higher success (P = 0.004) than early nesters (mallard [A. platyrhynchos] and northern pintail [A. acuta]). Populations of gadwalls and northern shovelers, however, have not declined, indicating that declines in nest success may not be related causally to population change. Long-term population declines in blue-winged teal, northern pintails, and mallards coincide with large-scale temporal declines in nest success. Declines in nest success were parallel in parkland and grassland regions, suggesting a causal agent (or agents) that act(s) at a broad scale, despite inherent differences in the composition of the predator communities and habitats between regions.

Toxic substances reform legislation could make it harder to seek damages from companies, lawyers say.

Keywords: TSCA, toxic torts, state pre-emption
After chemicals seeped from a waste dump in the Love Canal neighborhood of Niagara Falls, N.Y., residents filed lawsuits in 1979 to collect damages, claiming they were sickened by exposure to these substances. On the other side of the U.S., people from Hinkley, Calif., in the 1990s sued for compensation for health problems they said came from hexavalent chromium that leaked from a water-cooling system of a natural gas compressor . . .

How the hell did they come up with that? How can it be proven? TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT. They will even accuse you and put the liability on you just not to pay back. Travelex does false advertisement. Beware, they do not monitor or refund your funds in case of fraud. Also, they stop issuing replacement cards to U.S. customers. So if you are traveling and need a card ASAP, you are out of luck, but they won't tell you until that happens. They exchange rates are also ridiculously high. DO NOT DEAL WITH TRAVELEX. TOTAL RIP OFF, LACK OF CONSIDERATION, AND EMPTY PROMISES = TRAVELEX. I am on the process on publishing additional material and taking them to court. I am gathering all the information I need. DO not be another victim!!!!

Our new design seamlessly incorporates a reading light into the cover, so you can carry your Kindle wherever you go and always have a reading light with you. Simply pull the light out to illuminate Kindle when you need it, and slide it away to be invisible when you don't. And since the light draws its power from Kindle, no batteries are needed.
The contoured, pebble-grain leather (available in 7 different colors) keeps your Kindle safe and secure, while the soft charcoal microfiber interior protects the screen from scratches. The cover is designed to fold back, so you can read comfortably with just one hand.
The built-in, retractable LED light pulls out to illuminate Kindle, and slides away when not in use.
Never Be Without a Light
A permanent part of the cover, the reading light is located in the top right-hand corner of the back cover. When needed, simply pull the light out and it automatically illuminates, eliminating the need for a separate power switch. To turn the light off, slide it back in to the corner of the cover.
Since the light is powered by Kindle's battery, no batteries are needed.
How It Works
The cover's hinge points are gold-plated, to ensure a reliable electrical connection. Gold is used because of its ability to make good electrical contact even with low force, and for its corrosion resistance.
On the Go
You'll never be without a reading light, and since the light draws its power from Kindle, no batteries are needed.
Amazon's official Kindle lighted cover features contoured, pebble-grain, cowhide leather available in 7 different colors.
Read Kindle easily in the dark with Amazon's revolutionary, all-new lighted leather cover.
The hinge points are gold-plated to ensure a reliable electrical connection. No batteries required.
Read easily with one hand, with or without the light on.
Protect your Kindle on the go, and never be without a reading light

1)The Weight - The lighted leather case is a nice weight, sturdy and comfortable to hold. In ounces it is about the weight of the kindle itself however don't let that concern you. With the case on it feels like a medium sized paperback, however it is far much more comfortable to hold. It's easy to hold the case open like a book (nice for couch and table type reading) or to fold the front back and close it with the bungee so that the bungee doesn't hang around (this is good for bedtime reading).Closing the front back with bungee keeps the case folded in position and you don't have to worry about it bothering you. BTW THIS CASE FOLDS BACK 100% - Very comfortable. In sum very comfortable to read with the case and very sturdy.
2) The uneven lighting - Amazon's pictures don't do this case justice. The light hits the ENTIRE screen. Yes if you look closely it's brighter in the top right corner than in the bottom left but Amazon's pics make it look the top is lighted while the bottom is dark. There is good light all over the screen. Trust me I'm fussy about these things - the lighting will not bother you, your entire screen will be lighted and it is extremely pleasant to read in the dark.
*Final Thoughts - Great case, good quality, works well, kindle feels very secure and protected (I would feel comfortable slipping this case into my backpack or suitcase and I think it would sustain some mild impact). Lastly hinges are a non-issue, casing of the kindle will not get damaged with normal or even slightly aggressive use.Read more ›

Check out my video review for a size comparison of this case against my Kindle 2 and also an actual hardcover and softcover book, and then a lights out comparison of the Mighty Bright vs Lighted Leather cover.
Sorry for the shaky camera, it's the best I could do with one hand!
If you're interested in seeing a video review of the Kindle 3 itself, check out the one I did one here:
1. The light is much better than I thought it would be. Using it in a darkened room I found that the light did the job very well. In a pitch black room, it performs even better. While the screen corner opposite the light is a bit dimmer than other areas, there is no problem reading the page at all.
2. The light gets its power from the Kindle itself, through the gold-plated hinges which attach it to the cover, so batteries are a thing of the past. When your Kindle goes to sleep, the light will go out as well. It will also turn off when you slide it back into the case.
3. The cover is slim, well-fitted and very easy to attach and detach using the hinges. The inside has good padding. The leather outer surface has a nice pebbled texture with the exception of a smooth area along the edge of the front. While stiff enough to protect the reader, the cover is slight flexible and the front easily folds behind when reading so you can hold your Kindle with one hand if you like.
4. A great plus is that the cover has an elastic cord that fits into a groove on the front of it.Read more ›
Attaching Kindle is very simple using the directions on the product page. Make sure you heed the warning to work at it until ALL the gold is covered, which tells you Kindle is securely attached. Removing is quite simple: Slide down the top hook and rotate Kindle right off. I'm using a fingertip to do it rather than a fingernail. It's quick and easy enough to attach and detach Kindle that I won't have any difficulty switching to "naked" reading at will.
The cord seems to me strong enough for its purpose, but only time will tell. When the cover is closed, the cord is buried in a "channel" in the front cover so should not normally be subjected to much stress and strain. I did remove the little "flag" attached to the cord. Even without using fingernails, it's easy to open the cord up. Others have posted about the cord being in the way during reading, especially when holding Kindle and case in "open book" form. I put the cord between Kindle and the back cover, solving the issue to my own satisfaction. YMMV.
I don't think I'll use the "book style" reading position much. I'll "break the spine" as I did with my K2's case and read with the front cover folded flat against the back. It feels good like that, but when I have good light and will be reading a while I expect I'll do as I did with my K2: Remove Kindle from the case and read "naked." Still, even brand new, the leather folds flat easily and it's comfortable to hold and read.
The light seems to me to be well placed.Read more ›

FILE - In this March 15, 2012 file photo, President Barack Obama speaks in Largo, Md. It's a tag team for the ages: Richard Nixon, Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. The arc of history joins all three in the cause of universal health care, promoted by Nixon four decades ago and achieved by Romney and Obama in turn. So where are the high fives between the president and the former Massachusetts governor? (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak, File)

I've tried a bunch of responsive slider plugins without success. Only one is working for me: Responsive Slider. However, for the maximum number of slides in a slider, it uses the Maximum-Posts-Per-Page setting in the Reading page.
Is there a way to change that setting during the execution of the plugin and then set it back after the plugin is through?
In my naivete, I tried this at the beginning of the plugin's PHP file:
$temppp = $posts_per_page;
$posts_per_page = 10;
and at the bottom I put:
$posts_per_page = $temppp;
But I still got only two slides, the setting in Reading.

Ironically it was naive tea party candidates and their uninformed remarks that pushed Obama over the top (Akin, Mourdock, etc). Thanks a lot TPers!
Sign-up to receive our free newsletter.
By Mr. Curmudgeon:
Along a ridge at a cemetery, a stone wall marks the farthest advance of Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. Pickett's Charge at the battle of Gettysburg marked what historians call the high watermark of the Confederacy, the crowded moment when the war to preserve America's constitutional system would prevail or die. Lincoln's Army of the Potomac held the stone wall and stopped Lee's attempt to preserve the South's slaveocracy.
Tuesday night, America's political right and the Republican Party hit a stone wall and, like Lee's army, they will never recover. In spite of extraordinary get-out-the-vote efforts by the Tea Party and Republican activists, President Obama sailed to an easy victory over his rival Mitt Romney. Election night analysis showed that access to free contraception and abortion-on-demand were key elements explaining Obama's victory. Suburban women accomplished what King George III, the Kaiser, Hitler and Stalin failed to do – end America.
Americans – who we were told opposed ObamaCare overwhelmingly – voted to sustain the monstrosity by re-electing the president who fathered it and will shield the malformed monster as its tentacles begin unfolding in the years to come. Government-run, well, everything is here to stay.
Take the wife to that fancy restaurant for dinner and the kids to Disneyland – give them memories to cherish, because the country we know is done.
President Obama has been given the "flexibility" to do to America's nuclear deterrent what he promised his friends in Moscow … whatever that may be. And frightened establishment Republicans in Congress will work with the President to raise the debt ceiling, spending and taxes to remain relevant and "mainstream." And the "payback," as White House adviser Valerie Jarrett warned the president's opponents, can begin in earnest.
America's Great Depression II will continue to deepen as the nation piles on more debt and the Federal Reserve prolongs its program of quantitative easing. Though you may be unemployed, with your children skipping meals, you can take comfort in media reports that detail the wonders of our "sluggish recovery."
Four years from now, it won't matter if the reincarnated Ronald Reagan replaces Obama, the nation will have passed the event horizon of insolvency, falling into an inescapable and endless black hole.
Goodbye America … it was nice knowing you.
Ironically it was naive tea party candidates and their uninformed remarks that pushed Obama over the top (Akin, Mourdock, etc). Thanks a lot TPers!
"I plead with you not to preach pessimism. Preach that this is the greatest country in all the world. This is the favored land. This is the land of our forefathers. It is the nation that will stand despite whatever trials or crises it may yet have to pass through". -Harold B. Lee.
Too late for that sentiment, DCTR. You sound like a faded beauty queen insisting she is still "hot" and we, America, are not. We are finished. Welcome to the Idiocracy, where people vote for who is the "coolest" and who can give them the most "free stuff" like the rights to take other people's money without earning it, or the right to a free condom!!! I always had a hunch most of America were barnyard animals, ruled by the primitive urges that reside in the area between their sternums and the top of their thighs. I pity my poor children, and future generations. Anything sublime, worthy, beautiful, and truthful is gone with the ideology of this "New Amerika."
DCTR – That's great advice when the country is facing an external enemy. But we now have the enemy within. America is over.
Wow – you guys sound like a bunch of whiny bitches…
All I can say is I'm glad my grandparents are not alive to see what has become of this once-great nation.
Enjoy what Liberties you have now, while you can. You won't have them anymore once he declares himself Emperor of America….
If we didn't have a front-row seat, this would only be an "interesting" article to see if this comes to fruition. It fills ME with a sense of foreboding since he did, in fact, get re-elected:
Face it , Tea Party: you wanted to "Take America Back" and you've been hit with a realization: America is no longer yours to take back. The fact that you are out of the mainstream – the fact that America has moved beyond your provincial and closed mindset – should make you wake up a little and reexamine the way you look at the world. Unfortunately, I have little faith that you will. And I'm quite surprised that you rail against the "slaveocracy" when Confederate flags had such a nasty way of appearing at Tea Party rallies.
Great article. Just one thing. Please don't lump all of us "suburban women" together. Some of us are smarter and less selfish than others and did the right thing Tuesday. We voted for the future of our country, not to get free contraception and abortions on demand. We voted Romney/Ryan to try to prevent the further decline of this once great nation. Unfortunately, there just weren't enough of us. Those who voted for that garbage make me ashamed to be a woman.
Believing in a fake GOD does not give you a right to have faith in the America that thousands gave their life to protect for your sorry ASS!!
Are you really giving up? We need to stick together and keep our chins up. If you're on the side of freedom, show your mettle. The leftists and socialists are evil, but they also build their houses on sand, are blown by the wind, and are weak. Their crowd of supporters are "useful idiots" to the evil people who lead them around. We are wiser and stronger. Let's not throw in the towel. Personally, I choose to go down fighting rather than give up and hand victory to the evil ones. I, too, am disappointed in my fellow citizens, and especially my friends and relatives who are actually celebrating their victory today. I can't let their ignorance and blind stupidity stop me from fighting for freedom. I can honestly say that I'm willing to risk my life for it.
"The people should not fear their government, the government should fear its people"
We tried, desperately, to save America with this election, and we failed. I am still not convinced that he won honestly, but I will not waste my time trying to convince people of that, and being dismissed as a conspiracy theorist. Instead, we look at what other recourse we have. Some people have suggested, half in fun and full in earnest, succession, and that coud be an option. The country is so severly divided, it might become a truly feasible option. There are other, strong recourses, laid out for us in the Constitution. If we are brave enough, strong enough, and determined enough to take them.
Please do not give up hope. We will survive. It will never be the same, but there is an opportunity to, like a phoenix, rise from the ashes and be stronger and better, and different.

The House of Representatives and U.S. Senate combined to spend more than $20 million last year to help pay down student loans for the staffers of congressmen, Federal Times reports.
The benefit, which was created in 1990 and implemented about 10 years later, is meant to attract college graduates to government work and federal jobs by helping them pay off college debt.
Beyond the Capitol, Federal Times says that more than 10,000 federal workers received $72 million in student loan assistance in 2011.
This figure comes out as Congress considers allowing student loan interest rates to double later this summer.
