Rev. Irene Monroe: The posturing last week from Congress was great theater. All the thespians performed their parts well, especially Obama. Why?

The fraudulent Afghan election of last August 20th has delayed the possibility of a new regime taking over promptly to replace the corrupt rule of the discredited, U.S. hand-picked President Hamid Karzai.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hostal Goya Barcelona
Great affordable hotel
Decided to stay here after reading the reviews on Trip Advisor - was not disappointed. My boyfriend and I stayed in the Hotel part of Hostal Goya -Brilliant location and very clean and comfortable accommodation.
Highly recommended
Great central location, good value for money and friendly, efficient and helpful staff. Perfect for a weekend break.
Hostal Goya - Perfect Little Gem in a Big City
I have been looking for some reasonably priced hotel in good location (i.e. near to Plaza de Catalunya, near the Metro and quiet) and I found this perfect little gem from the TripAdvisor website.
I booked through email about 3 months ago while many of the other similarly priced hotels in close proximity are already full. I was lucky to secure myself a twin room with a balcony (which turned out to be a big terrace, wow, what a bonus!), which means I can see the sunshine every morning!!
Although on the "quiet", if you can find anywhere which is really quiet in this city, side of town, it is so close to everything that I ended up walking everywhere instead of taking the metro! Plaza de Catalunya, Barri Gotics, La Ramblas and Airport Bus, Tourist Bus, theatres, Pass de Gracias etc, are all within 2-10 minutes walk from this hotel!
I stayed in the Principal Goya which is the renovated floor. My room (in fact it was room 105 as requested in my reservation, was just as it is presented in the hotel's website) was clean and simply decorated. It was big in European standard though the ensuite was on the small side with only a shower and no bath. However, I've seen the common bathroom in the hallway ~ they were big and very clean, with bath!! The only downside was that all single rooms were interior room which means they would be very dark. Therefore, though travelling alone, I had to pay more to stay in a twin room in order to get sunshine into my room!!
The common area was very cosy and comfy with free tea and coffee served all day. I've seen people sitting in the lounge at all hours of the day. You can even refill your water bottle here before you go out for the day!!
Mind you though, you might want to use the stairs (reception is on 2nd floor) instead of using its very antique elevator!!
Both the day and night receptionist spoke English and were willing to offer assistance if requested. All in all, I would stay here again when I visit Barcelona, and would recommend to anyone looking for budget accommodation in this City!
Fantastic little gem
We found this place from the tripadvisor website and all the postive reviews were right - the locatioin was unbeatable (we ended up walking everywhere from where we were), the staff friendly and the room simply but comfortably furnished (it was a bit small but they did tell us the room was going to be small). There is a very comfortable living room with free tea, coffee and hot chocolate which was a real bonus. Would highly recommend this to anybody going to Barcelona!
Great Location and big rooms
This was a wonderful place to stay. We only stayed for one night, but the location was ideal for exploring the city by foot. The only downfall was that we needed to check out early, 7am and no one was around to assist us that early. They said there would be, but none. We also needed a taxi, so we hoofed it out and found one quickly enough. All in all I would stay again.
Great place to stay - highly recommended
I came across this site and decided to use it to research accommodation in Barcelona before I went. I was looking for an inexpensive hotel fairly central that I could use as a base for my travels. I read a few reviews of this hotel and decided to book it. I'd emailed a few places but Hostal Goya were the only ones to email back. They seemed very friendly and eager to respond to all my queries.
Location: The hotel is situated near Playa de Catalunya. This is very central and within easy walking distance of the sights. I flew with Ryanair which gets into Girona airport about an hour away. The Ryanair bus drop off point is only ten minutes from the hotel and very easy to find.
Room: The room had been recently done up. It was nice and clean, airy and the bathroom was spotless. The beds were comfortable. My only criticism of the place and it's one that could be made of many hotels in the area is that the room was rather noisy but after a full days of sightseeing this didn't seem to matter too much. Being a hostal don't expect any breakfast but there are plenty of places nearby to get something to eat.
Cost: I'd spent a bit of time looking around for cheap accommodation but still wanted something secure, clean and central. The hotel didn't disappoint.
All in all I'd recommend this to anyone. If you are interested in staying here I'd advise you to get in early as it seems to be busy.
Great time
We went here for a short 4day stay at hostal goya all we can say was it was brilliant.The staff were very helpful.The room was spotless and the lounge was very relaxing to come in and have tea or coffee when you felt like it.The area was central to any place you wanted to go.Going out for a meal was great and cheap.Try Hotel Rita or ask goya manageress to tell you sister hotel as we had 3 course meal with sangeria 1litre for 2 people for 25 pounds and it was great.Last would like to thank all the staff.Without these reviews we would not have found it.Also very important buy handbook top 10 best things in Barcelonaits a great guide book.
Fabuloso Hostal Goya
We stayed at Hostal Goya for 11 nights in January on the renovated floor. It is in the perfect location, near the metro, and very easy to get to the airport. I felt very safe and comfortable there. The decor is very IKEA and the bed sheets and duvet were nice and comfortable. It is very quiet at night...no outside street noises. Because of availability we had to stay in a room without a bathroom for 6 nights and it was fine. The hall bathrooms and showers were very clean and safe.The staff speak English well and were very helpful. I had a great experience in Barcelona and at Hostal Goya.
Clean, quiet and perfect location
We stayed at Hostal Goya in late November, and would definitely recommend it. The hostal is split into two, with cheap rooms on the main second floor and a completely renovated set of rooms on the first floor, that are more expensive. We stayed in a double room on the renovated floor, which was ensuite. the website shows you these rooms, and it was almost as lovely as the pictures suggest. The classy wood flooring and spotlessness of the place made it very pleasant to stay, at a very good price. The only minor drawbacks we found were that it seems only the twin rooms let daylight in - which wasnt actually a problem being there at night mostly! However the lighting in the room could have been a little more sophisticated, to match the rest of the place. The ensuite was also very small, and only had a shower, but was very clean and the shower was powerful. Some of the twins have slightly bigger bathrooms and baths. We did use the communal bath for a nice soak one evening, which was fine. Being such a small place (9 rooms) there is very little noise from the other guests: we hardly saw anyone. The great thing though is definitely the location, it could not be better and is on a very nice street in a good safe area of town, bang in the middle of all the best streets and sights. Would also like to recommend a local restaurant - Hostal de Rita - a couple of blocks away, fantastic catalan food at LOW price (though be prepared to spend all evening there, service is veeery spanish!)
I stayed here for 5 nights recently, and was very impressed. For the low, low price, it is in a great location, in a pretty swish neighbourhood, but also close to the historical centre, metro station and waterfront. Clean, comfy and quiet rooms with shared bathrooms, and a cosy common room with tea & coffee, local tourism guides and a big TV. Highly recommended!
TripAdvisor Reviews Hostal Goya Barcelona
Travel Blogs from Barcelona
... 75,000 people there which is by far the biggest crowd I've been in! The atmosphere was amazing - not the typically hooliganism of England or general craziness of South America but still lots of noise and chanting and singing. Barcelona won the match 5-2 with Neymar scoring 4 goals and Suarez scoring 1 (Messi was out injured for 8 weeks unfortunately). It was very impressive to see their skill level from a first hand perspective. Their vision and control is incredible. Just ...
... a car and drive from Barcelona to Geneva via the Mediterranean coast over a number of days. Looking into it this looked ideal, with car hire costs dramatically lower than at home. Indeed we could get a middle of the range convertible for only around 60 Euro a day - BUT the international one way fee of 1200 Euro pretty quickly put a stop to that plan! So we re-worked the program a little bit based on what we'd already booked and ended up planing to catch a train ...

... crazy. The detail is amazing and whilst I am a big fat atheist ('No, surely not!' I hear you cry, no I am its true) - I can appreciate a church or other place of worship for the peace etc. Anyway back to me being blown away.

The train was modern, clean, spacious, well appointed and the seats looked comfortable. The trip was only ...

PHILADELPHIA State Auditor General Eugene DePasquale said Thursday his office had begun an audit of the Philadelphia School District to examine finances, school safety, academics, and the impact the loss of state charter-school reimbursement funds had on the district's bottom line.
Superintendent William R. Hite Jr., who joined DePasquale for the announcement at district headquarters, said he welcomed the review.
"When you are challenged financially, like we are, obviously, here," Hite said, "it is extremely important to get as much information from independent third parties as possible about how effectively we are able to use the funds we have at our disposal."

In My Humble Opinion
It's beginning to look a lot like Xanax
Well, maybe not, but the "popular" drug—which is prescribed to treat anxiety disorders, panic disorders and depression (www.drugs.com)—is on my fantasy Christmas wish list. The truth is, that because of my health issues, I'm (ironically) not allowed to take the majority of prescription drugs, so am left to my own defenses when it comes to "holiday depression"—which is, indeed, a thing. Naturally, I try to make light of it, laughter being the "best medicine" and all, and more often than not, it works. Read more
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Every year, I look forward to hearing the 1958 holiday classic, written by Johnny Marks and made famous by Brenda Lee, and by the time holiday season is in full swing, I can't get it out of my head. Ironically, Marks was Jewish but specialized in Christmas songs, including "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas," but it was the lyrics to "Rockin'" that reverberated as I traversed the Upper Delaware River region over the last few days in search of holiday spirit. Read more
Sensory overload
Wow, man—it's a little crazy out there. With the holiday season in full swing, I've been running around like a festive headless chicken, doing my best to take in as many of the events exploding throughout the Upper Delaware River region as humanly possible, while attempting to retain a semblance of sanity. Maintaining composure has never been my strong suit, and keeping up with the Wonder Dog is a full-time job in itself. Read more
Never say never
The older I get, the more these pithy little sayings prove to have validity. As a youngster, I often scoffed at the adults, who seemed to have a never-ending arsenal of finger-wagging pearls of wisdom. Normally, I'm curious enough to research the origins, but this one yielded pages of song lyrics from Justin Bieber's playlist, which stopped me dead in my tracks. Clearly, he borrowed the expression from somewhere (does he have original thought?) so I skipped that step and just glanced at the pretty pictures, Bieber-style. Read more
You can choose your friends…
But, as Harper ("To Kill A Mockingbird") Lee once famously said, "You can't choose your family." As Thanksgiving approaches, this ever-so-slightly paraphrased sentiment rings true for many of us, as we choose with whom to break bread on turkey day. For me, it's my family of friends, who have made a conscious decision to spend time with me (and I them) rather than getting together out of a sense of familial duty, based on bloodline, which often has no bearing on whether we actually like each other or not. Read more
Fish and Visitors
According to Benjamin Franklin, both "stink after three days" (www.ushistory.org), and he very well may have been right. I tested Franklin's hypotheses over the summer when my family visited for more than the allotted days, but somehow they managed to stand the test of time. Still, when I venture outside of the Upper Delaware River region (which is very rare) I try not to overstay my welcome, rather than risk emanating effluvia (look it up!) myself. Read more
If I could turn back time…
Well, even if I could, I'm not sure that I would, but every once in a while, it sure is fun to revisit the past. One such opportunity arose last weekend in the form of the Bethel Theatre Works (BTW) production of "Vaudeville in the Catskills-Swings into the Sixties." The company's artistic director, Victoria V. Leighton, has been inviting me to their productions for a few years now, but busy bee that I am, this was my first opportunity to take in one of the shows. Read more
Funny, he doesn't look flu-ish…
There, I said it. That old chestnut has popped up repeatedly as I ride out the horrible (I mean horrible) cold that descended several days ago and (as of this writing) still clings to me, as I shake, rattle and try to roll with it. My bones hurt, my eyes hurt and, if I had my druthers, I'd hurt the one who gave it to me to begin with. More often than not, it's impossible to pinpoint the exact moment when one has been exposed to germs that can take down the bravest of souls, but in this case, I'm well aware of where and when this nightmare started. Read more
Trick or treat
It's a little spooky how quickly the year has flown by. Seems like only yesterday that I was writing about the darling buds of May making their first appearance and making plans for the lazy, hazy days of summer—which are now a thing of the past. In fact, when I awoke yesterday, there was literally frost on the pumpkin, and I began the mildly arduous task of digging out the long johns and putting my patio furniture away for the winter. As always, I'm a bit behind schedule. Read more
I've got a secret
It's not the kind of secret I want to keep to myself, but rather spread the word about, which I've been attempting to do for lo these many years. The Catskills, and Upper Delaware River Region, is home to such a great variety of entertainment and arts and leisure opportunities that it, well, keeps me employed. This is not the kind of secret one wants to keep under one's hat, which is why I'm constantly trying to get you all out there, all year long, joining me and my dog as we traverse the countryside spreading the good word.

Nothing wonderful
Posted by 4835423906677064078 on Oct 19, 2014
I wished it came with a pump dispenser as the thin lid is quite flimsy. Does not lather as well as I would have thought. Smells faintly of sour lemon and not lemonade. Bought only because I like trying out different products or would have stuck to Everyday Shea.
Love it

my son's a fan of mickey so he really loves this and it smells great. However, quite an amount of it would flow out of the bottle when in use as the hole was large. So be careful not to over-pour when using.
Birthday Present Ideas instead of Toys

I have 3 kids and they are always going to birthday parties. I'm often stuck running out to buy a present, which drives me nuts because I'm so short on time. I ALWAYS buy birthday presents for my kids friends from iHerb - ALWAYS. Here is my QUICK & EASY BIRTHDAY IDEA: select this product and search iHerb to find other products in this Method Mickey Mouse range and add on more products to complement it -- like a pouf/sponge or toothbrush/paste as a birthday gift instead of toys.

My 10 month nephew uses hypoallergenic wash, i love how this smells!! It lathers up very quicky so a little really goes a long way. It is unlike the non soapy HA washes we previously bought that were priced so high. This is affordable and i really really love the smell.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — When an SUV pulled in front of her school bus and a man pointed a gun at high schoolers she had just dropped off, Kendra Hankerson put herself in the line of fire.
The School District of Palm Beach County driver pulled her bus forward, positioning herself between the gunman and her students. The teens ran away, and the gunman and his cohorts left the scene.
Hankerson then delivered the rest of her passengers directly to their homes.
For her courageous actions on that March afternoon last year, Hankerson was honored Monday as the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's (FDLE) 2009 School Bus Operator of the Year.
The award was presented at the state Capitol on Monday as part of FDLE's Florida Missing Children's Day. Gov. Charlie Crist and other state officials were on hand to honor Hankerson and other award recipients.
"Your quick thinking and response protected your students, ensured that they all arrived safely home and assisted law enforcement in the arrest and prosecution of the criminals that threatened them," Donna Uzzell, director of the FDLE's Criminal Justice Information Program, said to Hankerson in the award presentation.
The bus driver's description of the men and the incident led to their identification and multiple charges of false imprisonment, aggravated assault and possession of a weapon at a school bus stop.
The gun had reportedly appeared to be a hunting rifle, but police later determined that it was a BB gun.

Good news for those of you who use Slingbox, as the iPhone and iPad apps were just updated to allow users to stream the live TV and DVR recordings straight to the Apple TV.
Even though we didn't see any new Apple TV's at the recent iPad event, one analyst seems to think Apple is planning on launching the Ultra-High definition Apple TV's with 65-inch and 55-inch frameless screens towards the end of 2014.
If you've heard of the popular Apple TV software aTV Flash – the software that adds significant functionality to your jailbroken Apple TV – then you've heard of FireCore. Well, they've just announced a significant update to their media player app Infuse.
A new WiFi standard called 802.11ac, which enables significantly faster transfer speeds than 802.11n, has recently began to find it's way into consumer devices, including the new AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule base Station. Now it seems the Apple TV is about to get the same treatment, with speculation that a new Apple TV will be released soon with 802.11ac support.
Apple is on a role with their updates and allowing third parties to hook into their Apple TV device: back in June the company added HBO GO, WatchESPN and Sky News apps, last month Vevo TV, Disney Channels, Smithsonian and Weather Channel showed up on our little black devices, next it was Amazon with their update to watch Amazon Video on the Apple TV, and then the big 6.0 firmware update offering iTunes Radio, iTunes Music Store and AirPlay from iCloud. Yesterday Apple added yet more content with Major League Soccer and Disney Junior channels appearing now on Apple TV home screen.

Campus Resources:
The college could be bigger and offer more. Cumberland County college is heading in the right direction.
Campus Resources:
The athletic center is great with a free fitness center for students. The student center has a lot to provide and is easy to navigate. The library is a good place to study. There are plenty of clubs.
Campus Resources:
Workout area is small, hard to find time for. There is, almost weekly, something going on on campus. The library is very resourceful and I spent way more time there than I had anticipated I would. Campus overall is gorgeous, all times of the year. Lawn is kept cleaned and there is student's art on the paths. Beautiful!
Campus Resources:
The Mac labs are fantastic. The computer labs are okay, but they could use new computers. Students are given a lot of money for the regular labs at the beginning of the semester. The wireless internet works extremely well. Having a personal computer to use at home would be a great feature.
Campus Resources:
There are a lot of things at a student's disposal the college. Of course, improvement can always be made in any area.

In Brief: Car bomb kills at least 22 in southern Syria
Car bomb kills at least 22 in southern Syria
BEIRUT -- A car bomb exploded outside a mosque in an opposition-held town in southern Syria on Friday, killing at least 22 people, activists said.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the blast took place around the time of Friday prayers in the town of Namar in Daraa province.
It said at least two children and several rebels were among those killed, while at least 30 people were wounded.
Observatory director Rami Abdurrahman said it is not clear who was behind the bombing.
In northern Syria, fighters from the Islamic State group seized control of the village of Beden in Aleppo province, the Observatory reported.
The capture of Beden came two days after the extremist group captured two towns and several villages near Syria's border with Turkey.
Chad freed majority of militants' abductees
MAIDUGURI, Nigeria -- Nigeria's Boko Haram militant group kidnapped 100 people earlier this month but most were freed by security forces from neighboring Chad, a Nigerian security official and a local self-defense member said Friday.
The abductions took place on Aug. 10 in Doron Baga in the Kukawa area near the border with Chad, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. He said the terrorists were stopped as they crossed the Chad border by Chadian soldiers who killed most of them and set free most of the captives.
Muhammed Gava, a member of the anti-Boko Haram vigilante movement, said 20 female victims and about 70 young men had been forced to board speed boats in Lake Chad, which lies on the border between Nigeria, Chad, Niger and Cameroon.
U.S. couple charged with murder in Bali
BALI, Indonesia -- Indonesian police charged an American couple with murder Friday after the body of the woman's 62-year-old mother was found stuffed in a suitcase on the resort island of Bali.
Heather Mack, 19, and her boyfriend, Tommy Schaefer, 21, both from Chicago, were arrested Wednesday in Bali's Kuta area, a day after the body of Sheila von Wiese-Mack was found inside the trunk of a taxi parked in front of the St. Regis Bali Resort.
Police said the couple placed the suitcase in the trunk. They told the driver they were going to check out of the hotel and would return. After they didn't show up, hotel security guards who found blood on the suitcase suggested the driver take the taxi to the police station.
Pope has tough sell on materialism
DAEJEON, South Korea -- Pope Francis called Friday for Catholics to combat the allure of materialism, an appeal that might be a hard sell in South Korea, a newly rich and hypercompetitive country.
Francis made the call during his first public Mass in Asia. During his homily, Francis urged the faithful to reject "inhuman" economic policies that disenfranchise the poor and "the spirit of unbridled competition, which generates selfishness and strife."

ELLSWORTH — Scientists at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) may have figured out why lobster prices fell to their lowest level in decades last spring.
Or maybe not.
Glen Gawarkiewicz, a senior scientist in WHOI's physical oceanography department, and five of his colleagues recently published their findings that in October of 2011, the core of the Gulf Steam at the edge, or break, of the Continental Shelf had pushed 125 miles north of its usual position near Georges Bank. It was the farthest north at that longitude that the Gulf Stream had ever been observed.
This past spring when the lobster fishing season got under way, dealers were soon inundated by huge quantities of soft-shelled shedders lobstermen landed along much of the Maine coast. With Canadian processors dealing with their own glut of locally caught lobsters, the price of Maine lobsters almost collapsed and many desperate lobstermen were selling their catch to retail shoppers for less than $2 a pound.

The Waimakariri Water Zone Committee meets on the second Monday of each month. Please note that these dates have changed since the first publication of this calendar at the beginning of the year.
Read past agendas and minutes
Farmers in Waimakariri's orange zone are finding the land use consent process less daunting thanks to advice sessions provided by Environment Canterbury.
The sessions target farmers who are not part of an irrigation scheme to help minimise the cost and stress of putting together a land use consent application.
Waikuku farmer Graham Stewart says information provided at last month's session helped clarify how to go about putting together an application for his 110-hectare dairy farm.
"It was excellent to have all my questions answered. It made me feel like I had all the relevant information to put together my application.
"For most of us it's just another thing to do and something else to worry about when you find out you're in the orange zone, but I think if you get onto it and get the right information it makes it easier. I found the sessions really useful and you can find out everything you need in one place."
Environment Canterbury land management advisor Anna Veltman says the aim is to encourage farmers to feel more comfortable approaching the consent process themselves.
"We've been working together with Fonterra and DairyNZ to assist dairy farmers in the orange zone to understand how rules that are now operative in the Land and Water Regional Plan affect them in terms of requiring a consent to farm.
"While some farmers will want to get advice from a consultant before lodging the consent, the forms have been designed so that farmers can fill them in themselves."
Anna says the sessions have been popular with positive feedback from the farmers who attended.
Further sessions are planned for next year to assist farmers in Waimakariri's red zone to complete their consents.
"Next year farmers who are in the red zone will face the same prospect of having to apply for a land use consent so we will continue to provide these information sessions for affected farmers.
"Giving farmers the tools and information to complete consents themselves helps to minimise costs and saves time."

text: The U.S. Office of Management and Budget has estimated that the tax-exempt status of fringe benefits such as pensions and group insurance reduced tax revenue to the Treasury by about $350 billion in 2009. Some economists have suggested that the federal government recover this tax revenue by taxing fringe benefits as ordinary income. Use Figure 7.5 to explain how this proposal would affect (a) the slope of the indifference curves and (b) the slope of the is oprofit curve. What would be the likely effect on the optimal level of fringe benefits?

RUGGED AS IT IS USEFUL. Recon 6 Watch: Compass, Signal Mirror, Can Opener, Fire Starter, Whistle, Cutting Tool, Fishing, Flash Light
This project's funding goal was not reached on July 24, 2014.
First created | 1 backed
The most multifaceted utility watch you'll ever own. Life in the great outdoors is no fashion show, but there is a tough and rugged accessory I am ready to launch that not only lets outdoorsmen make like Grylls, but could also save your life. I created the Recon 6 Watch to tackle the unexpected and perform multiple tasks. Inspired by the desire to always be prepared, a cross between the Swiss Army Knife and MacGyver will take this multi-featured watch to a whole new level. After months of hard work, my idea is almost ready to become a reality.
With your support, my team and I are committed to continue bringing you tough and innovative products like the Recon 6 Watch. Before you dive into the project, I sincerely want to thank you for checking us out! -Tim Ralston
Recon 6 Adventure Watch - Built to Survive your Adventures
People are wearing larger watches these days compared to the past. It was once the case that a man wore a watch that was about 35mm wide. Today, that's considered a woman's watch size. As timepieces have become more a style icon as opposed to purely a tool, their size increased. Recon 6 has both style and function with the diameter 44mm wide. While a fraction taller, the watch falls within the sweet zone- 42-44 most men are looking for.
Long story short, the Recon 6 Adventure Watch project started approximately 8 months ago when Ralston was watching Naked and Afraid, a reality show about surviving with little to nothing. The cast of strangers find themselves stranded and exposed to some of the world's most extreme weather environments. They are left without food, water or clothing and must survive for 21 days with nothing but one personal item.
An interesting conversation ensued regarding the one item allowed. "What one item would you take if you knew you were going to be stranded on a remote island for an unknown period of time?"
After conversing on how being self-reliant and prepared for any circumstance whether camping or extreme adventuring, Ralston began identifying a number of items pictured below. He became so inspired that he brainstormed a compact lifesaving product that could be beneficial for all outdoorsmen, military personnel and adventurers. The idea of the Recon 6 Watch was born.
We did our very best to produce an all-inclusive outdoor utility watch at the most affordable price for our supporters. Just check out other outdoor timepieces and decide for yourself.
High volume and quality production are often limited to big companies with large budgets. We are fortunate that a community like Kickstarter exists, which allows us to offer innovative products that not only are quality driven but affordable. Without Kickstarter, it would be difficult to offer the watch at an affordable price and get Recon 6 off the ground.
Our team is proud to produce this unique timepiece and would like to get Recon watches on as many wrists possible.
We need your support to launch this exciting new utility watch. Please provide feedback! Pass along the project to other watch and adventure enthusiasts! ...and join us in the utility watch revolution. We are raising funding for manufacturing and packaging. Your support for the production of these watches will make them accessible and affordable. Thank you for taking the time to check out the project.
Today, we have a working final prototype. We have been testing the watch for some time and everything is functioning as expected. Molds, tools and packaging have been secured. We are now proceeding with the manufacturing stage where products will be produced and assembled. Once assembled they will be ready for packaging and shipping. The only thing missing is the initial order fee. We need to order a minimum of 300 watches to keep the price reasonable, and that's where you come in. By becoming a backer for our project, you help us pay for the first production run, and in exchange you will receive a unique watch at a highly discounted price! By pledging today, you are pre-ordering a Recon 6 watch from the first production run and making sure you receive it as early as possible. You are also locking in the special Kickstarter price. All US backers get FREE shipping.
Again, we value any support you can give! Spreading the word is highly appreciated; Like us on Facebook (Gear Up), Follow us on Twitter and Instagram (@Recon6Watch) or send a few quick emails to friends and family. This can go a long way to help us ensure success! We hope that you love our watch as much as we do and pledge your support in order to receive one of the very first production models from Recon 6.
#KickstartRecon6Watch #SupportRecon6Watch
Thank you so much for being a part of this project! Let the Adventure Begin!
Due to our prototyping, sample approvals and vetting of manufacturers, we are confident our suppliers will create precisely what we are asking for. We have tested and reviewed a fully functional prototype before the manufacturing run begins. In our estimation the only risk is a delay in production or shipping of any unforeseen issues arise.
We intend to fully insure the cargo from the factory to our distribution point in the U.S. If anything happens to the cargo while in transit, we will make a claim and produce another run. In this instance, the watches will obviously ship later than expected. We will committed to alert all of our backers if this happens.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
The Recon 6 Watch is powered by standard watch batteries
Once side of the band is smooth and the other has a tire track design. You can reverse it or change out the band easily with a simple small screw driver by pulling out the pin.
At this time, it is best to check the watch in your check in bags.
The Recon 6 Watch consists of parts from Switzerland, Japan, China and USA; All of which play a roll in the manufacturing of the Recon 6 Watch.
Yes, we will also be offering different bands and color choices in the future.
Currently, only at Kickstarter.com (#recon6watch) After July 23, 2014, you can purchase at http://www.gearupcenter.com.
Yes, we are currently offering Recon 6 to dealers. Email us at email@example.com
Yes, since we launched during the dead of summer, we had a back up plan of manufacturing a smaller run and will honor current kickstarter pledges.

To the Editor.—
We believe that a certain amount of comment and clarification are in order regarding the QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS exchange between Drs. Warrens and Abbott (229: 579, 1974). Dr. Warrens's inquiry as to the best chemical means of disinfecting blood spills from potential carriers of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a question of much practical importance and, in turn, gives rise to a second question of an applied nature, which will be mentioned later. First, it should be pointed out that to "kill the virus of hepatitis B," one does not have to "kill the antigen" (hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg]). This is merely a matter of semantics, but Krugman and Giles1 and Lo-Grippo et al (187:722, 1964) have shown that the inactivation kinetics of the infective particle and the associated surface antigen are not equal when exposed to physical or chemical disinfecting agents, ie,

Simply one of the best meals of my life! My friends and I made reservations here as we wanted to hit a Michelin-starred restaurant during our vacation. Dinner is located within the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, a five-star hotel, and it reflects its surrounding. Definitely a fine dining location.
Started with the Meat Fruit, a liver pate made to look like a mandarin orange, which was...more
Dinner by Heston Blumenthal was an unforgettable meal while visiting London. This Michelin starred restaurant is located inside the beautiful Mandarin Oriental hotel. With British recipes hailing from the 13th-18th centuries, the menu itself is a marvel to read as it lets you know which year and cookbook the dish is inspired from.
We started with the much buzzed about meat fruit which is...more
This was an outstanding meal-- one of the best experiences I've had. I wanted to try everything but eventually narrowed it down to 4 things (3 things would have easily left me full, 4 left me stuffed):
- Meat fruit-- this is basically a must-get. Others have described its merits. I agree.
- Salamagundy- delicious, interesting, inventive, unique, beautifully presented. There was panko crusted...more
Absolutely tops!
We did the tasting table with a very foodie friend in town from NYC and beginning to end everything was delicious, beautiful, delicate and so very English! The elevation of historical British food made the experience different compared to a lot of the other microgastronomy I've had which has largely been rooted in French, Californian or Japanese flavors.
The tasting table...more
Service was great and friendly! Food tastes great, but unfortunately I got she'll in my crab salad, and a bone in my fish so a bit disappointed.
We ordered from the a la cater menu, but also choose their 3-course set lunch menu which was great value for money, highly recommend!
View of Hyde park was nice!more

Fathead World Football: Fathead welcomes the stars of this year's UEFA Champions League final match with Manchester United Fatheads and FC Barcelona Fatheads including Dimitar Berbatov, Wayne Rooney and Edwin Van der Sar of Man U and Lionel Messi and Carles Puyol of Barca. World Football Fatheads are unlike any soccer poster because of the enormous size, clarity and action of the images. You get the club crests with each World Football Fathead plus additional Manchester United club graphics and FC Barcelona club graphics with their respective players.
What Is A Fathead Wall Decal?
Fathead is Huge! REAL.BIG. Fathead wall decals are life-size action images that you stick on any smooth surface. You can move them and reuse them and they are safe for walls. Fathead wall decals are way better, bigger and tougher than a poster or sticker. Choose from hundreds of licensed sports and entertainment images.
You can also get a custom Fathead! Upload your photos to make your own Fathead using our Fathead customizer. Need decorating ideas? Need to find a unique gift? Need ideas for party decorating? Need to decorate a den, office, kid's room? Fathead has you covered! Great for party planners, wedding planners, interior designers, decorators, sports enthusiasts, and fans of all ages! A fathead can transform an entire room in a fraction of the time, and cost of painting or wallpapering.
Fathead Makes A Great Gift: Hey you! If you're looking for the right FC Barcelona gift, Fathead has the perfect wall art present that is better than any old poster or sticker. Our Lionel Messi Fathead wall decal is perfect for a birthday, graduation, holidays or just because. This gift is one that any FC Barcelona fan will always remember.
What It's Made Of: This REAL.BIG. Fathead Wall Graphic is a high definition image made of tough high-grade vinyl that's tear and fade resistant, so you can be assured your eye catching Fathead will stay strong. And if the thought of taking down your Fathead makes you want to cry, don't worry, because it uses a low-tack adhesive that can be moved and reused without any damage to your wall. As if it couldn't get any better, your Fathead comes with free separate smaller images (made of the same stuff) to go with your awesome new wall graphic. You can stick 'em near your REAL.BIG. or use 'em to decorate another space.
Suggested Uses: We know once you've got your brand new, authentic Fathead, you'll be so excited that you'll want to stick it to the first wall you see. But stop for a just a few minutes and make sure you apply it to a clean, smooth, interior surface, because your Fathead loves them and you'll love the way it sticks. We recommend putting it somewhere where everyone can see it since there's no better way to tell everyone you're a fan. Real.Big. Fatheads are perfect for transforming person caves, basements, family rooms, TV rooms, bedrooms, workout rooms, offices or any other interior area with a smooth, clean surface. Need to decorate for a party or get together? Fatheads are the ultimate companion for watching the big game or as decorations for a theme party.
Where Not To Stick It: So we've told you where to put your Fathead but we haven't told you where not to. For those curious folks who may want to try to stick their Real.Big. Fathead in clever places like on the sidewalk or on your Dad's car, you may want to rethink your decorating because to be honest, it won't stick or stay for very long. Fatheads do not like textured or bumpy surfaces. When we say you should put it on an interior surface, we don't recommend putting it in your garage unless you have one of those fancy, finished, heated garages. Fatheads don't like the cold, but who would want to leave their poor Fathead in the cold anyway? Lastly, you don't want your Fathead to stick to itself, let's just put it this way, your Fathead will not let go without a fight. The best way to prevent this is to grab a friend or two and have them help you put up your Fathead. Then you get to show it off that much sooner.
Welcome to Fathead Nation!

I have a Filemaker 12 pro database. On each record I have a container field that contains a Microsoft Word file, an excel file, or Powerpoint Presentation or a PDF. The fieldname is cMyFile.
The record also has field called nPageCount, and cFileExtension. The cFileExtension contains the extension of the file.
When I import a file into cMyFile, I want the nPageCount field to be populated. In other words, how many pages in the file.
Note that I'm running on a Mac Pro (10.7.5), and I'm also running Office 2011, and Acrobat Professional X. Therefore, if you want to incorporate an AppleScript, I'm good with that.

CLI really is about empowering the next generation of Congolese leaders to be catalysts for peace and prosperity. In just a few years, CLI is making a measurable impact on the ground in Kinshasa, equipping students with skills and knowledge so they can affect real community change. Having been involved with CLI since its founding, I've seen tremendous organizational growth led by a team of passionate individuals. CLI lives and breaths its mission, with a committee team of Congolese facilitators and an intergenerational team back in the U.S. that serves as an incubator for leadership development. While my time on the board has ended, I am happy serve in an advisory role and increase support and fundraising for CLI.

Skip to comments.Debbie Schlussel: "Obsessed" = Blondingo--Beyonce's Race-Baiting White-sploitation
Posted on 04/26/2009 3:46:23 PM PDT by lewisglad
In this movie executive produced by Beyonce Knowles, her father/manager, Matthew Knowles, and Earvin "Magic" Johnson, Beyonce plays the Black wife of a Black investment executive. Her husband is relentlessly pursued and stalked by a hot, White (and crazy) blonde temp (Ali Larter). Although the husband never gives in to the White chick's pursuits, she frames him up to make it look as if he did, and he's in the doghouse with his wife.
And the Black couple is surrounded by a cadre of brainless and otherwise non-ideal human beings with gaping flaws. There is the lecherous, married White male co-worker (Jerry O'Connell) who can't believe the Black executive won't accept a little something on the side with the hot blonde--something he (the White guy) says he wants to do with her. Then, there is the world's most brainless White baby sitter, who gullibly lets the stalker White chick into the house to kidnap the baby. And don't forget the world's most brainless gay White male secretary, who ditzily gives the stalker White blonde the complete scoop on the Black couples' weekend plans, making it easier for her to stalk them. Even the White chick cop (Christine Lahti) isn't too bright. Yup, not a single White character in the movie who is sympathetic.
Sure, race is never mentioned in the movie. It doesn't have to be. Look at the movie poster and the colors they chose for the design, and the way the characters are juxtaposed. It's all about Black versus White, baby. I live in a mostly Black suburb of Detroit, and I saw the movie in a local theater with an entirely Black audience. I heard all assortment of racist comments about the White people and the White chick stalker, throughout the movie and afterward as I left.
(Excerpt) Read more at debbieschlussel.com ...
Wow, what a reach.
Aside from, of course, her bony ass.
MOST of the time if there's a black character, HE (sometimes she) will come up with the brilliant, day-saving solution, dazzling white (and asian) on-lookers; they're grateful, awestruck, and utterly non-comprehending of the trick involved.
I thought the asian characters were streretyoped as the techincal nerds?
Wow! Who knew?
Personally, I got bigger items on my Agenda to worry about some Hollywood flick.
Get over your self-imposed wedgie....ppppplllllzzz
You know how this movie is giveaway fiction? The black couple is MARRIED.
Credulity has a LIMIT, you know?
Just keeping it real...!
I never quite understood why Ali Larter plays such skanky roles.
"I can't tell you how many times In my own neighborhood stores, I've been called racial epithets, like "bony-assed White bitch," for no reason whatsoever other than my skin tone."
...and it was probably by her own black sisters and bros..frickin' liar
I hope Ali Larter doesn't continue in these type casted rolls. She has a lot of talent. She is beautiful and know she has a lot more to offer. Wish she would choose a really good story with real substance to it.
It was #1 at the box office this weekend.
I think I liked this movie better back when it was called, "Jungle Fever."
This must be a real stinker, look for it on cable in a month.
I attended a summer school semester at Prairie View A&M (black school north of Houston TX) during the year when the "blackplotation" movies like Shaft etc came out.
Like an Indian attending a 1950's cowboy & Indian weatern. I was the target.
That bothers me too. I don't want to see her go down the same path as so many have in hollywood. She has more talent than that.
Debbie Schlussel went batshiate crazy several years ago. Why does she continue to have a following on FR? That's an honest question, cause every time i read the exceprt of her articles in http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/*/index it just gets crazier and crazier.
What's the appeal?
too late, Varsity Blues.
oops, thought that quote was Beyonce's...I retract my comment!
Good point, but that's if there's no black characters.
Whites + asian dude = asian guy will be jotting down calculus for fun, while all the girls laugh at and deride him.
Add a black guy into the mix, and the asian bro is permitted to be a "real person" —maybe he snowboards or something a bit brainless. And then the black guy is...a nuclear scientist, or a bioPhysicist, or something.
Makes us feel smart.
Um.. ah.. Beyonce.. ah.. I'm sorry but I want a divorce. You see that Ali chick is much hotter than you are.. and she.. um, how can I put this delicately.. mmm.. her bony little ass looks much better than your big old floppy "can I have a second helping of that" booty.
Still waiting to see how much DS got paid by The Watchmen to pan their movie, thus raising their box office that much more.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
I think Debbie is going off the deep end - its fatal attraction rip off by the white writer of Star Trek 5 (the really bad one) that uses a black actor and actress as the husband and wife.
The twist is not so much racial its that instead of the lesson of fatal attraction - that men shouldn't stray -its that when men stray the wife has to fight for her man.
This review expresses it better than I did
He's ugly... what young, beautiful woman would obsess over that?
Fatal Ablacktion
Yes, 'Obsessed' is the Most Significant Film of the Decade
By John Ridley
In some other, alt Spock-with-a-beard universe, the new movie Obsessed would be as little as its producers wish it to be: an elongated, filmed catfight targeted toward young men who'll willing hand over their hard earned pay in hopes of witnessing the female leads rip each others shirts off.
But we don't live in an alt universe. We live in our universe. And in our universe, Obsessed is the most significant film of the decade.
It stars Idris Elba whose secretary, Ali Larter, overreacts to some mild on-the-job flirtation, and things escalate from there between Larter and Elba's wife played by Beyoncé Knowles. A perfectly fine little bit of been there/done that "crazy woman goes crazy for some other woman's man" programmer.
Fatal Attraction and Play Misty for Me.
But by accident or design — I'm guessing accident Obsessed carries the most social-political wallop entertainment's had to offer since the Obama and Clinton stand-ins got into a tussle on WWE.
First, Elba and Knowles play a middle-class, happy-but-bored married couple who are feeling the stress of raising their first child ... And they just happen to be black.
How'd all that get past the fake liberal studio execs who rarely if ever portray middle-class black families in lead roles in films?
And the black man's got a white person working for him. And she's a she. And she's hot for the black man, all of which is a flip on a grip of social fears that have been pervasive on film going back to Birth of a Nation.
And to protect her family, the black wife of the black man — SPOILER ALERT unless you've seen the trailer — kicks the crazy white woman's pale backside. That makes the film the biggest black woman's wish fulfillment revenge fantasy that doesn't star Tyler Perry in drag ever!
And while the text of the movie is clear, it's the subtext that is even more powerful. I can't help but read Elba as President Obama, Larter as a crazy tea-bagger and Knowles as Michelle Obama come around with those cut guns she's always sporting ready to dump that tea-bagging you-know-what back in Boston Harbor.
I'm sorry, but Obsessed is a movie that challenges. Ironically, more so than the other major film it opens against: The Soloist.
Despite the considerable talents of the its two leads - Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey, Jr. — that film looks like the umpteenth telling of the liberal white (although in real life the character he portrays was Hispanic, Downey Jr. has proven he can play any ethnicity) whose life is changed by yet another version of the "magical black man."
Far too saccharine and on-the-nose for me. I'll take social commentary wrapped in the artifice of sexy salt-and-pepper, girl-on-girl action any day.
From the article:
"Although the husband never gives in to the White chick's pursuits, she frames him up to make it look as if he did, and he's in the doghouse with his wife."
I thought Beyonce was white
I'm not sure what that has to do with this movie review.
Or reason and substance.
Can we call a moratorium from Debbie Schlussel columns? Seriously, she's a conservative Ted Rall. She's not doing us any favors, folks.
Cash is king.
I like her ~because~ she is judgemental on the pop culture, and cultural issues (so rare for a Conservative, even to take a "pro-morality") stance on things that effect our culture these days..I'd say a 'breath of fresh air'!
Not my kind of flick, but sounds like a rerun of the Life and Times of Kobe Bryant.
Whooo-hooo---somebody is due to report to the nearest "re-education" center for sensitivity training!
"he worst fear of many black women in America is that white women are stealing their men."
But of course, unless those men are committed to those ladies, they are not "theirs." All males and females have a right to choose their own mates, without someone else feeling they have a claim on them. And even more specifically, even when people are securely attached and/or married, the other person still doesn't "belong" to them. We may be committed to someone else, but we never OWN that person.
On the other hand, I've also heard that many beautiful, smart, together black ladies have been looking for intelligent white men. It seems not to be about that phony thing race, but about, as another survey we read about recently, finding people we are comfortable with because of something we have in common.
>>Please. Imagine if the opposite had been the focus of the film; a white couple with a black female stalker.<<
I remember with Rising Sun - the author (Michael Crichton) didn't want a black actor because then people would assume it was a racial movie - but that was 14 years ago - these day it can go either way - it can be a racial statement or it can be a black actor playing a mainstream part.
Don't you hate it when the producers hire kidnappers and force you to go to their movies?

Surgery Partners outlook, USPI leadership move & more – 5 recent key notes on ASC companies
The $792 million Surgery Partners and Symbion deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter of this year. Moody's Investors Services gave Surgery Partners a 'B3' rating. Moody's attributed its rating to the company's high level of debt, but offered a positive outlook on the company's place in a growing industry. Standard & Poor's Ratings Service predicts moderate cash flow and stable margins, but mentioned the risk of integration on such a large scale.
In the closing of the $2.35 billion Sheridan Healthcare acquisition, AmSurg paid approximately $2.1 billion in cash and issued 5.7 million shares of common stock.
Harold L. Paz, MD, a United Surgical Partners International board member, will join Aetna as executive vice president and chief medical officer.
Hospital Corporation of America stock traded at $62.44 per share during the week of July 14 to 18, up 11.62 percent.
Medical Facilities Corporation announced a cash pay dividend of $Cdn$0.09375 per common share, while will be payable on August 15.
