|Line Infantry
|One battalion
The 94th Regiment of Foot was a British Army line infantry regiment which was originally formed in 1568 as the 'Scots Brigade' for service in the Netherlands. The regiment was brought onto the British establishment, in October 1794, as the 'Scotch Brigade', renumbered as the 94th Regiment of Foot in December 1802 and disbanded in December 1818. The regiment was reformed in December 1823 and served until 1881 when it was merged with the 88th Regiment of Foot to form the Connaught Rangers
Service history[edit]
- Scots Brigade
The regiment started life in Dutch service as the 'Scots Brigade' in 1568. In 1665 the regiment took the 'Oath of Allegiance' to the Dutch states General and declined to return to Scotland. In 1794 the regiment rebelled against taking orders in the Dutch language[1] and were taken onto the British establishment in October of that year, as the 'Scotch Brigade'.
- 94th Regiment first raising
The Scotch Brigade served in South Africa from 1796 to 1798, then transferred to India for nine years, where it was renumbered as the 94th Regiment of Foot in December 1802. [2] They fought in the Polygar War and Mahratta Wars, losing two-thirds of the men and most of the officers. The regiment returned to Britain in 1807, arriving in Leith in May 1808.[3]
After serving in Jersey, the 94th went to Lisbon and from there to Cadiz, in 1810, where it was distinguished at the sanguinary defence of Fort Matagorda before joining Lord Wellington's army in the lines of Torres Vedras. 1n 1814 the regiment was posted to Ireland, where it remained through the Waterloo campaign and was disbanded on 24 December 1818.
- 94th Regiment second raising
The regiment was reformed in December 1823, in Glasgow. Of the initial appointments, two of the officers were taken from the half-pay list of the old 94th Foot (captain and ensign) and two had previous service in the 94th Foot (major and captain).
Following their reformation the regiment served in a variety of settings during the colonial period. In 1824 the regiment was posted to Gibraltar where it was presented with its new regimental colours, before returning to Ireland.
In 1838 the regiment was posted to Ceylon to relieve the 58th Regiment, then moved to Madras the year after and served in that Presidency for fifteen years, during which time it had some action in the Mappila riots.
In 1854, the regiment supplied volunteers to some units in the Crimean war, whilst service companies served in Gibraltar from September 1855, to June 1856. In October, 1857, the 94th was ordered to Karachi, whence it was afterwards transferred to Peshawar in the North-West Frontier region and in other parts of India and Aden, in the Yemen, until 1868.
On 26 May 1874 the Battle Honours and Distinctions of the old 94th were granted to the regiment.[4] The following year, in 1875, the regiment adopted the diced band to their shako (the distinguishing mark of Lowland Scottish regiments) and was allowed to revive the Elephant and the Indian and Peninsular honours of the old 'Scotch Brigade'.
In 1879 the regiment fought in the Zulu War and at its conclusion marched into the Transvaal and took part in the successful attack on Sekhukhune's stronghold on 28 November 1879. In 1880 the eight companies of the 94th regiment were widely distributed throughout the Transvaal, garrisons being established in Pretoria (E and G companies), Lydenburg (A and F companies), Wakkerstroom (C company), Marabastad (B company), Standerton (H company) and Newcastle in northern Natal (D company). It was during the re-concentration of the companies in December 1880, in response to outbreaks of civil disorder by the Boers that A and F companies were attacked at Bronkhorstspruit in the opening clash of the First Boer War.[5] The 94th lost four officers (Lt.Col. Philip Robert Anstruther, Captain Stanford Norman McLeod Nairne, Captain James MacSwiney, Lieutenant Herbert Augustine Christopher Harrison) and 71 men. One officer and 105 men became prisoners of the Boers. The other six companies of the regiment spent the war besieged by the Boers; C, D and H in Standerton, E and G in Pretoria, B in Marabastad, and a small detachment of 50 men in Lydenburg.[6] The following year, in 1881, as part of the Childers Reforms the 94th amalgamated with the 88th Regiment of Foot to become the 2nd battalion the Connaught Rangers.

I would give it an A- instead of an A+ because of the May's pick. It would be one thing if he was a solid backup, but he couldn't even manage to do that. Mays was a colossal miss of epic proportions. Also giving up a 4th round pick to move up two slots was questionable.
But coming out with Anthony Davis, Mike Iupati, and Bowman go a long way to making up for those issues.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
On January 11, 2006 I went to the Gorayeb Hypnosis Seminar to stop smoking at the Marriot Hotel in my neighboring town of Oxnard California. Like so many others, I also read in the paper that the hypnosis class was 110% Guaranteed and in 2 hours I would stop smoking or receive a full refund. And yes it's true that It did not mention to receive a refund that I would have to go to 2 more seminars if the first seminar failed to work.
So when I registered they took the news paper ad I brought with, put my name on it for a drawing to receive a fancy bonus gift (a free bottle of very expensive No-name vitamins with a cheap looking label on them). Woo-h*o!!! (By The Way: Only one person at the seminar got the bonus gift)
The majority of the time I was at the seminar, the doctor of hypnotherapy used wonderful illustrations and talked about what smoking does to your body and then proceeded to discuss certain kinds of vitamins that I should be taking to reduce and eventually completely eliminate my desire to smoke. And frankly, this was extremely informative and very helpful. It also gave credence to the high quality "Smoke-Away" vitamins I purchased a year and a half later and in fact worked out very well.
However, there wasn't any clues about vitamins any where around at the seminar when I went in to register and if there was I would have know immediately that this was a vehicle gimmick to sell product than merely just a fifty dollar class to adjust my subconscious state of awareness.
By the way, I am a profound believer in hypnotherapy and it does work if you believe in it and allow it to take control. Except in my case, getting ripped of by these people after buying their way over priced disgusting vitamins that made me sick to my stomach and gave me a terrible case of diarrhea every time I tried them, completely killed the whole experience for me.
Subsequently, I also called their toll free number to find out when the next seminar would return to my area so I could supplement my brain adjustment, but by the time they finally did return I was already a full fledge very upset that I let them take advantage of my good nature.
When I tried to find the website for these seminars, I also found the rip-off reports like the one written from my hero Sharon Ward of Arkansas who completely confirmed verbatim exactly what I experienced. And likewise, I can't believe either that Gorayeb has been doing these seminars for so long and no one has exposed their poor quality vitamin scam.
In short, I sincerely recommend to everyone wishing to quit smoking, that you try the Gorayeb Hypnosis Seminar at least once and digest what they have to say. They do have great tools to help you quit smoking and the Hypnosis really works!. But tell your classmates at the seminar "DO NOT BUY their rip-off poor quality vitamns cause they will make you sick," but instead go investigate from your local health food store what your options are before getting sucked into buying a whole lot of low grade vitamins from the Gorayeb's scam plan.
Believe me, I give you the absolute truth about my beliefs and experience including both the good and the bad about this company. They sell valuable information along with the worst vitamin I have ever tried. Thank you for taking the time to read my testimonial and remember the most two valuable words you will ever hear: Buyer Beware!!!!

When the purchaser/complainant again demanded a refund, Nikolas Petousis of DataSafeXL informed him that he would instruct the reseller RegNow not to do so. The complainant/purchaser had advised RegNow of the multitude of problems that he had encountered with XL Safe Pro through including them on his email distributions. Today (August 2), in addition to uninstalling the inoperable add-in, he made a direct request to RegNow for a refund, before the start of the workday and did not get a reply by day's end. The reseller RegNow is quick to accept a payment but seems to disappear during a time of a dispute, apparently to protect its self-interest and its ill-gotten commission. This makes RegNow an accomplice to the fraud and the fraudulent business practices of its client.

A Rare Plant Community Is Vanishing
By MARK DERR
Published: July 25, 2000
EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK, Fla.— On a clear, warm day recently, Dr. Thomas Armentano picked his way through a stand of red mangroves near the southern edge of the Florida peninsula and stepped into a bone dry stretch of marl prairie littered with scores of uprooted, sun-bleached buttonwood trees.
With tangled roots spanning six feet and trunks approaching three feet in diameter, the weathered relicts were of a size seldom found among living South Florida buttonwood.
Not more than a hundred yards from where he stood, the desiccated trees faded into a tropical hardwood hammock, one of a vanishing few coastal hammocks that exist only around Florida Bay in Everglades National Park and parts of the Caribbean, including the Yucatan.
This particular hammock is unique in the United States because of its size, its marl substrate and its orchids, said Dr. Armentano, chief biologist for the South Florida Natural Resources Center, located in Everglades National Park. Marl is a clay-like limestone.
Covering just over 200 acres and lying less than a mile north of Florida Bay, the hammock hosts a mind-numbing profusion of wild bromeliads and orchids, some of breathtaking dimensions.
To protect them from plant thieves, who have nearly stripped other areas bare, Dr. Armentano asked that the hammock's precise location be kept secret.
Hammocks -- basically forests of hardwoods rising on elevated ground from among pines, marshes and old shorelines -- were once common throughout South Florida, especially along the coasts. For much of the past century, they fell to loggers, developers and charcoal makers, who leveled vast stands of buttonwood. Nearly all of the remaining hammocks are now found only in the region's parks and preserves.
Covered head to toe to guard against the sun, poison plants, thorns and mosquitoes that define walking in the Everglades, Dr. Armentano led a reporter and photographer on a tour of the fallen buttonwood forest and its neighboring hammock to illustrate the forces that threaten the survival of some of the nation's rarest plant communities.
Perhaps the most significant of those threats, he said, pointing to the bleached buttonwoods, are hurricanes that can remake whole landscapes. ''These coastal hardwood communities are uniquely tied to tropical storms,'' Dr. Armentano said. ''Storm effects in Florida Bay have helped create them, and yet extremely violent storms can also destroy them.''
This buttonwood forest was toppled by the 1935 Labor Day hurricane, a Category 5 monster with winds estimated at 200 to 250 miles an hour. That storm battered the Florida Keys, killing an estimated 800 workers on the Overseas Highway, before churning across Florida Bay into the Everglades. Hurricanes Donna in 1960 and Betsy in 1965 uprooted the trees left standing. Mature buttonwood is so hard and dense it does not rot in the hot, wet South Florida climate, and so the dried-out trees remain, dotting what in the aftermath of those storms became a low-lying prairie of cactuses and other succulents growing precariously from salty ground and inundated for much of the rainy season.
In addition to hurricanes and their storm surges that can drive saltwater, sand and mud far inland, other threats to coastal hammocks are fire, invasion by exotic plants, sudden freezes and rising sea level, Dr. Armentano said.
Scientists agree that the $7.8 billion plan to restore what remains of the freshwater Everglades, the historic ''river of grass,'' now under consideration in Congress, will do little to save coastal hammocks. ''It's hard to put a finger on something, like hydrological restoration, you can do to preserve them,'' Dr. Armentano said.
Everglades hammocks are the region's uplands, standing high enough that they escape flooding for much, if not all of the year. In this flat and subtle land, high enough means anywhere from several inches to about six feet for those on Indian middens, or refuse heaps.
Of the 164 woody species native to these forests, Dr. Armentano said, 135 are tropical, of West Indian origin. The rest are temperate North American trees and shrubs at the southern end of their range. Many of the 14 distinct types of hammocks that botanists have identified are named for their dominant vegetation, like thatch palm, mahogany, gumbo limbo, live oak (a temperate tree) or tropical hardwood.
Most biologists believe that the Caribbean plants were brought to the North American mainland by migrating birds, winds and tides. They took root in the last 5,000 years, when the Florida peninsula became warmer and wetter, and the Everglades were formed.
The precious hammocks bordering Florida Bay occupy old sand ridges, marine marl deposits, or dead coral that seldom stand more than three-feet above sea level. ''Hammocks like this are only found in Caribbean areas where the soils and moisture conditions are similar,'' Dr. Armentano said. ''But the islands are overdeveloped and there have been quite a few hurricanes in those areas in recent years, so we don't know their condition.''

Colo. theater shooting suspect offers guilty pleaBy DAN ELLIOTT
and P. SOLOMON BANDA
The Associated Press | March 28,2013DENVER Lawyers for Colorado theater shooting suspect James Holmes said Wednesday he would plead guilty and serve the rest of his life in prison to avoid the death penalty.
The offer comes just days before the prosecution was set to announce whether they would seek to have Holmes put to death for the attack that killed 12 people and injured 70.
Prosecutors wouldnt say Wednesday whether theyd go along with a plea deal, and likely will consult with victims and their families before deciding whether to accept the offer.
If they agree, the case that started July 20 when prosecutors say Holmes carried out the midnight massacre during a showing of the new Batman movie could end quickly. In the filing, defense attorneys say the only thing that would hinder Holmes changing his plea on Monday is the prosecutions decision.
In the filing, Holmes lawyers said they initially made the offer to plead guilty before Holmes arraignment on March 12. At that hearing, Holmes attorneys told a judge they werent ready to enter a plea in the case, and the judge entered a not guilty plea on his behalf.
Defense attorneys also said theyre still exploring a mental health defense and counsel will vigorously present and argue any and all appropriate defenses at a trial or sentencing proceeding, as necessary.
Prosecutors say Holmes planned the assault for months, casing the theater complex in Aurora, amassing a small arsenal and rigging potentially deadly booby-traps in his apartment.
Then he donned a police-style helmet and body armor, tossed a gas canister into the theater crowd and opened fire, prosecutors said.
Nearly eight months later, the defense has dropped hints about Holmes mental state but has given no clear statement on whether he would plead insanity.
Holmes, a former graduate student at the University of Colorado, Denver, had seen a psychiatrist at the school before the shootings.
Last week, his lawyers revealed that he was taken to a hospital psychiatric ward in November because he was considered a threat to himself. Holmes was held there for several days and spent much of the time in restraints.
The judge scheduled the trial to start Aug. 5, setting aside four weeks.MORE IN Wire NewsGRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK, Wyo.

Prevent the export of live cattle to China; delay the opening up of new live markets until the current ones are meeting animal welfare standards that would be acceptable in Australia and ongoinganimal welfare breaches are addressed and prevented.
This government and the regulatory requirements they have implemented for the live animal trade (Exporter Supply Chain Assurance System (ESCAS)), fail to ensure good animal welfare outcomes in markets that take only a several thousand head of cattle per year (e.g. Mauritius) - how does it expect to ensure good animal welfare outcomes to a country taking 1 million head? Even if it was plausible, "good animal welfare outcomes" to this government, include animals having their throats cut whilst fully conscious. If animals are to be exported live from Australia, they MUST at least face handling and slaughter practices at or better than Australian standards that those animals would be handled and slaughtered under here.
Voyages to China last on average 19 days, with many lasting over three weeks, and one voyage from Fremantle/Portland to Lianyungang in July 2011 lasting 37 days.
Whilst the average mortality rate for cattle on these voyages is 0.15%, one 17 day voyage from Portland to Tianjin in Mar 2014 had a mortality rate of 2.04% or 49 of the 2400 cattle on board having to be euthanased due to injuries from bad weather. These figures are for breeding cattle, invariably worth more in dollar value than slaughter cattle, so it is safe to assume that care taken would likely be less for those animals with a lower monetary value.
China has an horrific record when it comes to animal welfare, most notably for dogs; if animals considered "companion" animals are treated by so many, so horrifically, how does that bode for "food" animals.
We demand that the Australian government stops exporting live animals to countries that have no animal welfare laws, standards or codes of practice and where we realistically have no control over how those animals are handled or slaughtered. Continuing to export animals to countries that have no animal welfare laws sends a very strong message that we don't take animal welfare seriously and that we condone the abuse we regularly see animals subjected to in importing countries.
Stop Live Exports
Stop Live Exports is committed to ending the export of live animals for slaughter.
Live Exports, Cruel and Unnecessary
Australia currently exports approximately three million live animals (cattle, sheep, goats, deer, buffalo and camels) for slaughter every year; eighty percent of those will have their throats cut whilst fully conscious and many will be subjected to handling and treatment that would be illegal here.
We believe there is a way forward that will not only not disadvantage Australian jobs or farmers, but will actually create more jobs, be beneficial for the economy and most importantly, reduce animal suffering and cruelty.
You can help make a difference by joining Stop Live Exports as a member, make a donation or purchase from our online store. All proceeds go directly towards our continued efforts to stop the cruelty of Australian live animal exports.

We will keep fighting for the animals!

Protest rally at Fremantle Port June 2015
Date and Time: Sunday 7 June at 10.00 AM
Location: Victoria Quay, Fremantle Port in front of E Shed Markets (where the Rottnest Ferry leaves from)
Event Details: Please join us in demonstrating our ongoing opposition in general to the abhorrent trade that is live animal export and specifically to this government's ongoing disregard for the welfare of animals sent to countries for slaughter where there is a known risk above and beyond the usual risk of sending animals into countries with no animal welfare laws, standards or codes of practice - at this time, particularly Vietnam.
Image: Animals Australia
It has been widely known for two years now that Australian cattle are being leaked from ESCAS-approved supply chains in Vietnam, where they would normally at LEAST be stunned with captive bolt pistols prior to throat cut and are instead having their skulls caved in with sledgehammers.
This government's response? They continue to send cattle into Vietnam for fear of jeopardising the trade.
"... the last thing we will do is close down this trade..." Tony Abbott.

State Street Lands QSuper Custodian Role
By Gillian Tan and Enda Curran
After a six month review, State Street Corporation has been appointed custodian of QSuper's 32 billion Australian dollars (US$33.2 billion) of global assets under management, replacing NAB Asset Servicing.
QSuper is a superannuation fund for current and former Queensland Government employees and their spouses, with more than 540,000 members.
"State Street stood out from the crowd, offering quality, breadth and depth of services, advanced technology, and global capability," QSuper chief financial officer Mr Cottier said in a statement.
State Street — which operates in 29 countries — had US$21.8 trillion in assets under custody and administration and US$1.9 trillion in assets under management as at Dec. 31. This includes more than A$80 billion of Australian superannuation funds.
Separately, a State Street executive told Deal Journal Australia Wednesday that Australian banks are being forced to borrow Australian-dollar government bonds from foreign investors to meet new capital requirements in a sign of growing liquidity constraints in the local debt market.
In what State Street expects to be a growing trend, local banks and the Australia operations of foreign entities are borrowing these securities from central banks, sovereign wealth funds and other big institutional investors from around the world.
"The demand is huge, the supply is very limited," said Sinclair Scholfield, head of securities finance at State Street Global Markets in Sydney.
The Boston-based bank is seeing a sharp uptick in business as it facilitates growing demand for this kind of asset swap. It accepts collateral such as equities or Australian fixed-income products in return for Australia federal bonds from its global client base.

I'm trying to create a Meta Box with 4 textareas in it and I would like the contents of the textareas to post if there is anything entered into the textareas. I'm trying to include this directly in the theme I have created so I don't want to use plugins or anything like that..
I was following the tutorial here: http://www.wproots.com/ultimate-guide-to-meta-boxes-in-wordpress/
once I got to the "Saving the contents of a meta box" I started to get the white screen of death for some reason. In the comments it's mentioned that this method does not provide validation though so I'm not sure if I should continue. Is this important? I'm using the textareas so javascript that cannot be pre-defined can be pasted into the textareas and be posted before </body>.
How can I create a Meta Box with 4 textareas??

It appears that Mr Branconnier has misinterpreted the thrust of our article and the nature and purpose of our screening test.1 It is not designed to "diagnose" dementing illness but to identify older persons who deserve to have the benefit of comprehensive diagnostic studies. A positive result on the test would raise the suspicion that some form of mental decline, temporary or not, may be occurring and that medical attention and further psychological assessment should be considered. A false-positive finding would be clarified as such rather rapidly, most likely in a first medical interview, without any serious financial, psychological, or social consequences ensuing. In fact, the contrary might occur. Persons scoring as a false-positive may do so because of social, psychological, or medical problems, eg, depression, that may well benefit from medical attention.The letter reveals some misconceptions about dementia that deserve noting. First, there is insufficient

Governor Jindal on Jobs vs Environment and Offshore Drilling
I sat in the federal courtroom in New Orleans and listened to the lawyers argue. I was the only person in the court wearing a sea turtle tshirt. Then I listened to Gov. Jindal speak and take questions.
And at the end of the day, the federal appeals panel denied the reinstatement of the offshore drilling ban.
One lawyer stated that if we had another major spill in the Gulf, it "wouldn't matter much".

I'm using SI Captcha, but spammers seem to know how to post spam throuth SI Captcha.
What I thought SI Captcha did was:
If SI Captcha founds the post is spam, the message is thrown away.
If SI Captcha founds the post is not spam, the message is published immediately.
BUT SI Captcha does:
If SI Captcha founds the post is spam, the message is kept and WordPress responses code 302. I get this message too. "A new comment on the post [BLOG TITLE] is waiting for your approval", and the spam message is in the waiting box.
If SI Captcha founds the post is not spam, the message is published immediately as I wish. WordPress responses code 302.
If I post a message with wrong captcha, the browser shows error-page saying "ERROR: Wrong CAPTCHA". WordPress responses code 500.
How can I throw spam away? Please give me your advice!
For your information...
SI captcha 220.127.116.11
WordPress 3.5.1
CentOS 6.4
Apache 2.2.15
Spammers are from...
United States
- I think WordPress should response code 4xx for BOTH spam and posts with wrong captcha.
- I'm not sure what causes this problem; WordPress or SI Captcha or both.
- If possible, I would like to save spammed POST data. How can I do this easily? Any plugins?

BOA CLI query
I'm about to PIF on both of my BOA cards. They each have $5,000.00 credit limits. They are both close to the limit at this time. I've had the cards for 9 years and 2 years, respectively. These are my highest limit cards other than a Jared card with a $7,600.00 limit with a $0 balance. I have 100% on-time payments on my credit reports. My AAoA is 6 years and my annual income is $100,000.00. Once these accounts are paid, my FICO score should be around 710-730.
If I call and ask for CLIs on these cards once I PIF, do you think the requests will be granted? If so, by what amount do you think the limits will increase?

TA has varied success at Bayou
The Blue Devils were able to break the Bayou Colts in two games on Dec. 3.
Head Coach Judd Sartin said both the Jr. Blue Devils and Varsity Blue Devils delivered a win. Both girls' teams struggled, but Sartin hopes that they will rebound in coming weeks.
The Jr. Lady Devils were defeated 13-32, but Sartin said the team "played hard."
"They're young, inexperienced and still learning the fundamentals," Sartin said. "They don't quit no matter the score, though."

A few weeks ago I noticed a few red bumps on my leg and assumed they were mosquito bites. A few days later, there were about 15 bumps. They have turned hard, itch and are sore to the touch. Lanocane helps stop the itching but the bumps are not going away. Should I see a doctor?READ MORE
I am not a medical professional and would not be able to give you medical advice. It is also impossible to say with any certainty what could be causing this rash. I would suggest contacting your doctor and if necessary, a dermatologist.
However, in the meantime, here are some possible causes:
Allergic reaction: You could have an allergic reaction to a food you have eaten. Allergic reactions can appear even if you have eaten the food before and not had a reaction.
Poison ivy or allergic reaction to a plant: While poison ivy doesn't spread, if you scratch it and then scratch somewhere else on your body you can bring the rash from place to place.
There are also a number of bug bites which can look like a rash, including bed bugs, fleas and mites.
Rashes can be caused by a number of things, including stress, bacterial infections, fungal infections or as a side effect of medication. You should contact your doctor if your rash doesn't go away within a few days or if you are experiencing any other symptoms, such as body aches or fever.
I developed a rash just like this about a week ago. I thought at first it was fleas, but flea season in southeastern Michigan is in only April and the bumps are not in the typical flea pattern (usually they concentrate on my ankles and tops of my feet and there are small clusters of bites, the ones I have are scattered everywhere). I thought it may be scabies, but there are no track marks or burrowing holes and I don't have the bumps in the webs of my fingers. I went to the doctor yesterday and he told me it was from some kind of food allergy, that was all. Now I have to figure out what I'm suddenly allergic to and/or what I was exposed to over a week ago that caused this reaction. The little bumps that look like insect bites are all over my legs, thighs, waistline, buttocks, and inside of my forearms (none on my back, chest, throat, face, or webs of my fingers). The rash has produced a relentless and very intense itching and I have woken up scratching myself so much that I have bled. I had some kind of steroid shot at the doctor's office, but that did not help relieve the itching at all. I put hydrocortisone creme on the rash and that has helped (along with cold showers), but I feel like this isn't going to go away anytime soon. It seems to get worse when I stress out about stuff and it being the holidays, I sure do have a lot to stress out about. I am in so much pain and discomfort and my skin feels like it is on fire sometimes. It's driving me bonkers!!! What the hell could this be?!READ MORE
Well I've experienced the same only after time. I have tried to get rid of the itching but it seems to make the bump big and red and then turns into a scab. They also seem to reproduce in the same area. The Dr said it was MRSA but after researching the pics they don't resemble anything that I have on my skin.They sorta seem like bed bug bites but I've tuned the place upside down and have not found anything. I have been told if it were bed bugs that I should be able to see signs under the mattress such as bug feces, nests, and bug skeleton which have not been apparent. I went to the doctor today and he wrote out a prescription for ointment and antibiotic to see if this will help. Currently reside in Indianapolis, INREAD MORE
i am experianceing the same thing doctor told me it was poison ivy but im not sure if that is correct took treatment for it and seem to get better but never completely gone treatment is over but still have the bumps and new ones keep appearingREAD MORE
I have developed the same exact thing and I am not sure still what it is but I'm currently soaking cotton balls in apple cider vinegar and duct taping them to my legs! Yes, I am a little crazy, but it seems to help a bunch with the itching - now it's just a slight burn.
I did this for 24 hours and took the tape/cotton balls off to see how it did and one of the areas has totally healed. I have heard many great things about the healing effects of acv and will be trying this again to see if any other of the areas clear up. Hope you find some relief from this.READ MORE
I know exactly what you mean. Mine started out being like a cluster of red bumps under my armpit and then it moved to my upperarm and then my breasts and then my belly and lower back. and now they are on my legs too. They look like small insect bites but I know they are not that. As far as I know, I'm not allergic to anything. They itch like crazy. I've also woken up scratching so much that I bled. This has been on for a month now. They still haven't cleared up. They appear to get worse. I really hope they are not anything seriousREAD MORE
Scabies. Those are all the classic symptoms. Research that. I've had them, and it took me 3 months before I figured it out and I was so miserable I cried every day and lost way too much sleep. Don't be naive! Go to a dermatologist and suggest that, because it can be misdiagnosed. My doctors didn't believe me that it was scabies, but they gave me treatment and I got better right away [in the average time it takes to heal].READ MORE
My younger sister and I both have hives, my mom did some reaseach a while ago and it's because we're Asain. I just started breakking out in them not too long ago.
Could you have come in contact with any children or animals with fleas or scabies perhaps? This sounds like a parasitic infestation that is typically only curable by an antiparasitics. Some of which are over the counter but I would consult with your primary care provider first before experimenting. Good luck.READ MORE

Get an alert when new Amparanoia dates are announced
With acts such as the mighty Manu Chau, Ojos de Brujo and new comers Macaco Spain is currently the hottest source of global grooves. The new music blend flamenco, dub, mariachi and jungle has been christened Mestizo and the woman at its heart is Amparo Sanchez, who leads Amparanoia. Very much a contemporary of Manu Chau, who she works with and has shared a community for many years, Amparo represent the soul of the new sound. Like Manu Chau they set up in the multicultural Malasana district of Madrid, refining the bands sound though countless all night parties and jam sessions. But it was her remarkable voice that seems powerful yet languid, rhythmic and yet distracted that set Amparanoia's sound apart.

I was impressed but did not have the time that day to speak with her further. I even asked if she could come back another day. She couldn't as she was only in town that day.
The next week another person came with Xtreme Kleen which I believe is the same product (I didn't have time to take down the details the first time.) He demonstrated it on my front doorstep and on the plastic door mat in front of the door. Both areas he cleaned were VERY clean, sparkling, with what seemed like very little effort.
Despite the fact that my budget is extremely tight right now, because I have been very disappointed with the cleaning products I am now using I wanted to have some of this. I absolutely could not afford the big bottle and gave him a check for the small ($40) bottle. He said he would bring it back by in an hour (he was on foot and the van with the supplies would be picking him up at that time.)
I made the check out to the Xtreme Company so that it would have to be processed through the company and I would physically have the product in hand before the check was cashed. An hour later he brought me my bottle of Xtreme Kleen.
He said his demonstration had been with ratios of 10 parts water to 1 part Xtreme Kleen. My bottle had listed ratios on it for different jobs and as I wanted to test clean a carpet spot I mixed a small amount of it at the 5:1 ratio recommended for carpets. I wasn't impressed.
I tried the same 5:1 ratio on the door mat next to his trial -- the white letter I cleaned with a 5:1 solution was not as bright white as the letter he had cleaned in the demonstration (with what was supposed to be a 10:1 ratio.) I continued my trials with my 5:1 solution on tiles on my kitchen floor (bottle recommends 10:1 solution). It worked almost as well as the best of my cleaners already in the house (at a price that is at least 5 times the price of my existing cleaner.)
I have spoken with a representative at the company. She did indicate that for spot cleaning a carpet I should be using a 2:1 solution -- 5:1 is for use in a carpet shampoo device. A ratio of 2:1 on the carpet has much better results but is still more expensive than other products I have used and no more effective.
I am convinced that the bottle I received contains an already diluted formula and that the demonstration was done with a much higher concentration than stated. That is a ripoff! I feel the more we read about ripoffs like this the less likely we are to get trapped buying these products that seem so great in the demonstration. My recommendation: don't buy from a door to door salesman from out of state unless you can test your own bottle before you pay any money for it or have a 24 hour period to check out the product and any ripoff reports on it before you buy! I wish I had seen the other ripoff report posted on this site before I purchased the product.

product good, sale people not
AUTHOR: Walldoo99 - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, June 07, 2009POSTED: Sunday, June 07, 2009
It seems to work well but she did buy the concentrate and tested it before she paid. you may want to try this and tell the people that when they bring you the bottle and you test the contents your self you will buy it. But hang on to your money till you do the test and are happy.
I think the product works as it claims buy the people who sold it to you ripped you off by trying to make an extra few bucks
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
#2 UPDATE EX-employee responds
No Ripoff

SUBMITTED: Monday, March 31, 2008POSTED: Monday, March 31, 2008
I'm an ex-employee. I don't contact the company and they don't contact me. I recieve no benefit for defending it's product. I just know what it feels like to go door to door and have people think you're a con artist selling a bad product. It is a good cleaner.
I however can not defend salespeople who are lazy with customers and don't explain their demonstrations properly and are just there for the quick sale. Nor can I defend those who lie about cancellation periods or the length of cleanliness or any other thing for that matter. How long does it stay clean? Until it gets dirty. I feel the more you explain the less likely a customer will be dissatisfied. When I worked for the company, I had an extremely low cancellation rate.
Not all door to door salespeople are dishonest, just like not all cops are good cops. You have to take each one on an individual basis, but give each one a chance to prove him/herself, because the product is excellent all on it's own.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

P.S. 261 Philip Livingston
BROOKLYN NY 11201 Map
P.S. 261 Philip Livingston
Extended PK hours offered: Please contact site for more information
What's special:
The downside:
Our review:
PS 261 encourages students to think critically about social issues and makes a priority of the arts. It has an active parent body that includes lawyers, hairdressers, writers and maintenance workers. This frank-talking community embraces the friction ethnic and economic diversity can sometimes bring, believing that kids coming together from different backgrounds creates a better world.
Principal Zipporiah Mills grew up in East New York where she taught until she was tapped for leadership in District 15. She joined the PS 261 community in 2000, and became principal in 2005. Warm and direct, she greets children by name—using "darling" or "honey" if she forgets—and helps solve conflicts or tie shoelaces as needs arise. She strives to set a welcoming tone for her wide-ranging community. "I see our children grow together," she said. "They come back and they're still friends in college—very diverse groups. It has an impact on privileged and not so economically privileged groups."
With their history of social action, PS 261 students made pinwheels to help Syrian children affected by the refugee crisis in a dollar-matching program, and they reenact Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s march on Washington every year. The school was on the forefront of the "opt-out-of-testing" movement in 2015, when more than 60 percent of students did not sit for state exams. Even so, teachers follow data closely to spot gaps and trends in learning. After a slump in test results during the Common Core Standards rollout in 2013, scores for those children who did take the state exams, are now above the citywide average and rising. Mills said she hoped it was a reflection of improved instruction due to increased coaching with experts in reading, writing and math. Mills said the school's current approach to math, Engage New York, is "the toughest math we've ever done," and several girls and boys we spoke to on our visit said math was their favorite subject.
The arts have long been a hallmark of PS 261, and there's something for everyone. The lower grades concentrate on music, visual art and dance; the upper grades focus on gym, science and Arabic. Kindergartners act out stories such as The Gingerbread Boy, 3rd-graders take on folk tales, and 4th-graders study Greek myths in a theater arts class. Third-graders study the recorder, culminating in a trip to Carnegie Hall. Unique to the school is a partnership with the Qatar Foundation, providing an explicit welcome to Brooklyn's Arab community, with its hub near the school. Qatar pays for a second science teacher who weaves Arabic words into science lessons, and children study the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection of Islamic art.
Some concern about discipline and order shows up on school surveys. We saw at least one overly long lesson, during which kids got restless, but most instruction seemed very focused. "We definitely have kids coming from really troubled situations," said a parent. "Some are not easy to deal with in the classroom." A guidance counselor, school psychologist and social worker meet with struggling kids and the school is adopting Responsive Classroom methods to improve the school climate.
Parents pay for a full-time librarian and substitute teachers. They run a fee-based after-school program and offer scholarships. We saw some parents prepare cardboard Google glasses for a science lesson while others taught a group of kids in the garden. "It's a culture that celebrates that kind of collective work and volunteerism," said parent Rachel Porter.
SPECIAL EDUCATION: PS 261 attracts a large number of children with special needs and has several offerings, including self-contained classes, which take students from outside the zone, and ICT team-teaching classes.
ADMISSIONS: PS 261 has a small zone and often has space for students from outside the zone, amounting to roughly one-eighth of the total student body. Pre-k typically fills with zoned students and siblings. There is rarely room for new students in the upper grades. (Lydie Raschka, November 2015)

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Not much is off the table when it comes to how they will get to that end. When I started with the company there were 16 new agents, after 3 years all but 3 had been terminated for one reason or another. This meant that the books of business that the agent and produced was turned over to a new agent at nearly half of the original commission,....can the original agent so you can have a new agent just service the business. [continued below]....
After 3 years of dedicated work this &$^% company came into my office and took a few select files and discovered I'd made some mistakes. Mistakes which cost the company about $150.00. They came in after I called the corporate office and asked for help because I was overwhelmed with too much work to handle. They had 3 reasons to let me go, no help, no here's how to avoid this in the future... just... so long!
After they let me go they went through my files and worked out a plan to discontinue servicing hundreds of policies I'd written for software engineers from India. They felt they were a poor risk so they decided to get rid of them. By the way, they were a good risk, well educated, earned a good living and liked saving a few bucks. One happy customer told all there friends, of which they had many. My book of business was very profitable, but I guess getting rid of me made it even more profitable.
My advice...leave this company behind. Don't trust them, don't believe them, don't give them any money.

Local Area:
Great city to live in and a beautiful campus.
The public transportation system is really bad. It's hard to get around without a car. Even if you have one though, the traffic is hell.
There's a whole range of people here with all kinds of religions, ethnicities, sexual preferences, and political beliefs, if the many clubs and student organizations are of any indication.
Local Area:
Despite the fact that the school is in LA, it's in a really bad part of LA, so there isn't much to do at night that's not at The Row. If you want to go out at night and have fun, a car is necessary.
Greek Life:
I'm not Greek, but Greek life is huge here. The Row throws tons of parties every week, and Greeks and non-Greeks alike flock there on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Heck, there's parties on other days sometimes too. The registered parties are also pretty big.
Local Area:
Los Angeles has so much to offer. Always something cool to do.
USC definitely represents diversity among all facets: race, gender, political views, sexual orientation, religion, etc.
It took a lot of work for me to get all of the aid that I needed, but it ended up working out.
The weather is always great here. It never gets too cold.
Off-Campus Dining:
There needs to be more restaurants around campus! Especially more healthy options.
Campus Housing:
Freshman housing is solid. I have seen better at other schools, but its not awful.
Greek Life:
Greek life is a big part of campus
The main reason that I don't have a car on campus is becasue it costs so much to have permit.
USC is definitely a big sports school.
Guys & Girls:
The guys are one of a kind...in good ways and bad ways
Campus Quality:
The dining halls need improvement!!!
Off-Campus Housing:
I think off-campus is so attractive because the on-campus housing is so unattractive.
Overall Experience:
I love the campus and the city around it. The school is great and has so many opportunities. Going to USC also gives you great connections.
Health & Safety:
One thing that USC does have is a great Student Health Center with many specialists as well as DPS or campus police all over the place.
Most of them are Macs. I have not seen many computer labs, but I have never looked for them
You'd assume SoCal weather is 70ish year-round. DON'T. The weather here is bipolar. It can be in the 50s in the morning, but by noon, it'll end up being 80 something. And then it'll drop back down at night. It's hard to figure out what to wear here. It's also hotter here because we're in the city, urban heat island effect, blah blah blah.
Off-Campus Dining:
Haven't been off campus much, not much time and trying to save money. There aren't a lot of places open after 11 though, and since the dining halls are also closed at that time, getting food late at night is a pain in the butt. Not to mention the fact that walking around off-campus at night is ill-advised here.
Galen Center is the best. Really nice facilities. The Lyon Center is just for student athletes and is supposedly even better than the Galen Center.The school revolves around football. The amount of school spirit we have is almost obnoxious. We have 5 student organizations that focus on everyone's mutual love for USC: The Greatest Marching Band in the History of the Universe (ever!), Song Girls, Spirit Leaders, Helenes, and Trojan Knights. Also, massive tailgates on Game Days and Conquest Week.Our team was doing pretty bad at the beginning of the season, but it seems to have turned around since Kiffin was fired.
While the University has been very generous with a lot of my friends, it has not been the case with me and my family. Scholarships are very generous for entering freshmen. If they offer a quarter, half, or full ride, it'll stay with you your whole time here unless your GPA is below 2.0 (like that's gonna happen). Scholarships for continuing students aren't nearly as big. The ones that are more than $1000 are often need based or for legacies.
Campus Housing:
Living on campus is extremely expensive. Most of the dorms don't have AC, so the price is not worth it. Internet here sucks. We're in South Central, so students do get robbed off campus. I've been getting emails about robberies at least once every couple of weeks. The campus itself feels pretty safe. Lots of lights, the gates are closed, and there's security guard patrols.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Students from Southern California usually love USC from the beginning and strengthen their bonds with the school as time passes. Students who travel to USC from longer distances tend to adapt more slowly, dealing at first with the culture shock that inevitably comes with a first impression of LA. Universally, those who can survive the transition into the USC way of life fall in love with the school after first semester. Typically, students entering school with a skeptical mind-set ends up getting the most pride out of being a Trojan. At the very least, they come away with a new affinity toward college football.
The opportunities on campus are plentiful, and in LA, opportunities are endless. Time flies for everyone at USC, and changes in living conditions, academic standards, and career goals come quicker than newcomers might expect. USC graduates are sure to look back on a college experience that could not have been offered anywhere else. Basically, the more that students are willing to explore the opportunities available to them, the more they endorse the idea that USC is the perfect school for its time and place.

Downing as a defender!!!
Jason, partly right but don´t underestimate the overall problem which was clearly on view today. Far too slow in the build up and still passing sideways and backwards waiting for support at the front. Result? Every attack faced with eleven closely ranked defenders. Villa? Fast on the break, penetration not passing and facing only two or three desparately backpedalling defenders.
It´s all very well playing the whole team in attack and then in defence but for that never changing strategy to succeed the players need to be far faster up and down the pitch and we lack the athleticism to do that successfully leaving ourselves outnumbered at both ends of the pitch.
In other words, the system is not suited to the players we have.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Miguel...Exactly right mate..as u say "the system isnt suited to the players we have"...I think and I posted this up last season that Kenny was trying to move us in a similar direction withhis version of the old Dutch Total Football tactic and wasnt making too bad a job of it. We arent hitting the onion bag and Id go so far as to say with the exception of Suarez AND perhaps Gerrard if partnered with Suarez further fw we dont have the players who will be able to this season unless we buy in some PROVEN WORLD CLASS striker....As u say our build up is painfully slow giving the opposition every chance to track back and form an iron curtain that without some extreme sorcery from Suarez WE JUST DONT HAVE THE PLAYERS WHO CAN PENETRATE SUCH DEFENSIVE FORMATIONS AND EVERY PREM MANAGER KNOWS IT. So ...where do we go from here because anymore of this one step forwrd two steps back stuff and we are going to be struggling to avoid the drop this season...seriously...Its becoming hard to maintain faithin BRs claim that we have a brighter future think his coaching isnt up to the standard of Kennys last season if we fall any lower maybe its time for yet another sacking and appoitment of somebody up to the scale of the job Im not sure BR is !

Ballet show honors mothers
Fine Arts Ballet Theatre spotlights dancers who want to do new works
It's a celebration that in some form dates to the days of the Greeks who wished to honor maternal goddesses. In 1600s England, children brought gifts to honor their mothers after a prayer service. And then in 1872, Julia Ward Howe suggested a day of remembrance for mothers in the United States. Finally, it was Anna Jarvis who pushed the issue, leading to President Woodrow Wilson declaring the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day.
And part of the celebration today is the Fine Arts Ballet Theatre's presentation of "Happy Mother's Day."
"The company is made up of a group of primarily women — though it's not all women — who were all professional dancers, and if you know anything about the ballet world, you get into your mid-20s and your career is done," Board Secretary Beverly Stephenson said.
"If you happen to be hugely successful, maybe 30s but by your 40s, what is left is studio life. So this is a group of dancers who have come together who don't just want to be teaching others. They want to choreograph new works, so they are a very committed group of dancers who get together every day."
'Happy Mother's Day'
When: 2 and 5 p.m. May 12
Where: Old Town Temecula Community Theater, 42051 Main St., Temecula
Tickets: $15 voucher
Phone: (866) 653-8696
Online: temeculatheater.org
The initial idea for a Mother's Day performance was simple.
"It was one of the few days the theater was empty," Stephenson said. "It was just a great day to get together to present pieces of new work that honor mothers and motherhood and mothering and have a way for the group of dancers and choreographers to be working on new pieces. They are very excited about what they are doing and continue to attract new members, people who are in a similar boat who danced for a lot of years (and) had to move on, but never gave up the love for dancing."
While the beginnings of the group were not necessarily local, most performers live close by.
"At some point they were from all over, but most have settled in this area, which I would say runs from Fallbrook to Corona," she said. "They were all part of big production companies, but eventually what attracted them here was the affordable housing. It's a great place to live, and they are very excited to find something that fits their pursuits here. The same is true of live performance musicians. There really are a lot of gifted people here."
Besides the ballet performance, artist Lisa Owen-Lynch will be showcasing her abilities with live performance art.
"She does weddings and anything else that is live," Stephenson said. "If there is a live performance and you want it captured in art instead of photographs, that's what she does."
The artist is on the corner of the stage watching the performance as it is going on and capturing the image on canvas.
"It's not unlike the gentleman who did the Wounded Warrior concert who captured the feeling and the band on canvas," she said. "It's a cool way to capture the moment, and we will capture the moment and then auction it off."
And there is a charitable part to the event, as proceeds will help Our Nicholas Foundation, an autism charity.
"The founder of Fine Arts Valley Ballet theater has a child with Asperger's, so when she was first getting the diagnosis, it was organizations like Our Nicholas Foundation that really helped them out," Stephenson said. "Parents who have children with autism face a very difficult and lonely road, because it's something you are dealing with 24/7, and it can be very challenging."
And for the ballet company, it's still growing.
"This is the organization's fourth performance, so we are still building an audience," she said. "We are just a new organization here to let people know that there are plenty of things to do for Mother's Day."

Some city leaders in Slocomb are trying their best to keep the cities National Guard unit at its current location.
In June of last year the city council received notice from the National Guard that the guard station that was planned to close in 2011 will have to shut down in September of 2008.
Next week, the mayor and city officials will meet with adjutant General Blalock in Montgomery to discuss the issue.
Mayor Vickie Moore says she supports any decision the National Guard makes in order for them to receive the best training available.
