How Do Layoff Costs Affect Employment?
General equilibrium analysis of layoff costs have had mixed messages on the implications for employment. This Paper brings out the economic forces at work and explains the disparate results. Specifically, we show that positive employment effects of layoff costs come through reducing labour reallocation, whereas negative effects come through reducing the private return to work due to those layoff costs and the associated inefficient allocation of labour. Additional adverse employment effects can arise through an increase in the effective bargaining strength of workers. These forces explain why layoff costs tend to increase employment in search models while the opposite is true in models with employment lotteries. In matching models, we show that the employment effects depend critically on how layoff costs are assumed to enter the bargaining process.

Eric, I'm curious to know why you think Webb will be moving to safety and not competing for the open cornerback spot opposite Conley considering he was the starting nickle for most of the year and played more than Lattimore and Ward.

I believe the coaching staff has very high confidence in Webb playing the CB2 this year. I see either Lattimore or Ward taking over the nickel spot.
I can see Webb as CB2 with Lattimore or Ward as the Nickle. Although they will compete in the spring I give Webb the advantage cause he has played more in the past.
I like the Webb boys
Offense Weber- I'm hearing baby Los is hungry and is ready to eat.
Defense Webb- Having been the 3rd corner for the last year I think he chomping at the bit to man that corner full time.
Defense- Dante Booker
Any word on Webb playing more nickle or some corner he looked pretty good out there?
I like Webb in the rotation at the nickle and also to possibly back up Grant at the boundary corner.
Exact opposite Campbell is more passer than runner saw his high lights he slow as malasses lol,lol great arm though.

Famous Breast Cancer Survivors- Elizabeth Edwards
October 9, 2010
By Today Health, NBC
Elizabeth Edwards
The wife of former vice presidential candidate John Edwards was diagnosed with invasive ductal cancer, the most common type of the disease, in the final weeks of the presidential campaign in 2004. After receiving treatment, she went into remission, although the cancer returned in 2007. She is living with stage 4 breast cancer which has spread to her bones and other organs. "There are no guarantees in life anyway," she told NBC Dateline in 2004. "And if the one thing that we've learned over the years is that you're going to have to live every day like it's your last day anyway. So you know, this, for me, it's just another reminder of that lesson."

• Homogenates of splenic tissue were autotransplanted within the peritoneal cavity of suckling and adult Sprague-Dawley rats after total splenectomy. All suckling animals had multiple regenerated splenic nodules when killed four months later, but in only 55% was splenic tissue visible by technetium Tc 99m sulfur colloid scan. Splenic tissue was recovered in one of ten adult animals, but the nodule was not visible by scan. The results of this study imply that revascularization of autotransplants might be more successful in a growing than in a mature host. Nuclear scans, although useful, do not always visualize small regenerated splenic autotransplants.

No point. Everyone would get a green one, because there's no way their little innocent dog could ever be anything but perfect.

I'd get a caution harness for my great dane. He was attacked by a pitbull on two occasions. While he is a gentle giant, he is a trained hunting animal and knows when to defend his family. He killed one of the pits and has never been the same since. A caution, or maybe even no dogs, would be a great thing for me. He's great with people and most dogs, but pits are a no go. He is too strong to take a risk around them and it seems like many pit owners don't care enough to keep them away when I ask them to.

With the exception of RF Kosuke Fukudome, an established player in Japan, Piniella and his coaching staff know what they've got this spring. So Piniella's main focus this spring will be to see who emerges to play center field and how the rotation shakes out.
Rookie Felix Pie will be given every opportunity to win the starting job in center after struggling in 87 games last year. By the end of the season, Pie's time was limited to late-inning defensive situations. Another rookie, Sam Fuld, will push Pie. Fuld, who made a good impression during a September call-up, was MVP of the Arizona Fall League.
The top four of the rotation are set with Carlos Zambrano, lefties Ted Lilly and Rich Hill and recently signed righty Jon Lieber. The final spot figures to be a battle among incumbent righty Jason Marquis, converted closer Ryan Dempster, lefty Sean Marshall and youngster Sean Gallagher.
Dempster requested a return to a starting role after closing for the Cubs since 2005. The Cubs will give Dempster a good look, but it's not out of the question that he could end up back in the bullpen.
If Dempster sticks as a starter, the Cubs likely will turn to Bob Howry as their closer. Howry saved eight games last year, stepping in when Dempster was injured. Velocity has been a problem for Howry in the early going of recent years, and that could spell trouble. However, Howry said he has tried to remedy that by throwing from a mound earlier this winter.
Carlos Marmol and Kerry Wood could be closers-in-waiting. Scott Eyre had a strong second half, and he'll be the left-handed setup man.
Behind the plate, the Cubs are ready to turn over the starting job to Geovany Soto, who has 30 games of major league experience. Soto came up in September and won a spot on the playoff roster. He batted .353 with 26 homers and 109 RBIs last year at Class AAA Iowa. The Cubs aren't expecting those kinds of numbers at the big-league level, and they'll gladly live with a slight drop-off because they like Soto's defense.
WHERE, WHEN: Fitch Park, Mesa, Ariz., Feb. 14-26. The Cubs move to HoHoKam Park in Mesa on Feb. 27. First exhibition game is Feb. 28 at the Giants.
TOP CANDIDATE TO SURPRISE: INF Ronny Cedeno came up in 2005 with all kinds of promise but never grabbed the shortstop job and ran with it. Cedeno played some center field in winter ball, and he could turn into a utility player. Manager Lou Piniella cited maturity as a problem for Cedeno. If Cedeno, 25, shows he understands what's expected of him, he could push Ryan Theriot for the starting job at short.
TOP CANDIDATE TO DISAPPOINT: Is Felix Pie the Cubs' next superstar or the next Corey Patterson? The Cubs spent much of the winter monitoring Pie's progress, even sending hitting coach Gerald Perry to work with him. Pie needs to improve his plate discipline and strike-zone knowledge. The Cubs also want him to bunt more and hit the ball to the left, or opposite, side. Pie is only 23, and he may need more time to catch up with the learning curve.
AUTHORITY FIGURES: Lou Piniella lifted the Cubs from last-place sad sacks in 2006 to 85-77 division winners in 2007. He has a lifetime managerial record of 1,604-1,497, which leaves him 15th in wins all-time. Piniella's greatest strength is sizing up talent quickly. He finds out who can play and who can't. If you can play, you play. If not, you sit, or Piniella has GM Jim Hendry get rid of you. Bench coach Alan Trammell has Piniella's ear, and the pitchers have great respect for pitching coach Larry Rothschild.
--With the trade of LHP Will Ohman to the Braves in December, the Cubs have one bona fide lefty in the bullpen: Scott Eyre. The Cubs caution not to forget about Neal Cotts, who opened the season in Chicago last year before being demoted to Class AAA Iowa. Cotts started six games at Iowa, but he'll be back in the bullpen this spring. The longshot lefty is Carmen Pignatiello, a Chicago-area product who pitched in four games for the Cubs last season.
--The sleeper of spring training just might be RHP Jose Ceda, a non-roster invitee. The 6-foot-4, 205-pound Ceda has hit 97 mph on his fastball, and the Cubs consider him a fast-tracker. Ceda struck out 66 in 46 1/3 innings last year at low-A ball.
--The Cubs have loaded up on switch hitters among their non-roster invitees. Infielders Andres Blanco, Luis Figueroa and Bobby Scales hit from both sides, as do catcher J.D. Closser and OF Andres Torres. Manager Lou Piniella asked the front office to get him as many versatile players as possible.
--OF Matt Murton is a man without a position. Murton is a left fielder by trade, but OF Alfonso Soriano is entrenched there. The Cubs tried Murton in right, with mixed results, last year, but Kosuke Fukudome's arrival pushed Murton out of the starting picture. Murton is a patient, high on-base-percentage hitter, and the Cubs will try to trade him.
--One pitcher to watch in spring training is RHP Tim Lahey. The Cubs obtained Lahey from the Rays, who took him from the Twins in December's Rule 5 draft. Lahey had 13 saves for Class AA New Britain last year, and the Cubs like his sinking fastball. He'll be in the mix for middle relief.
BY THE NUMBERS: 20 -- Non-roster players invited to spring training. Among the veterans are RHP Shingo Takatsu and C Koyie Hill. The Cubs also have invited OF Tyler Colvin, their top pick in the 2006 draft, and C Josh Donaldson, a supplemental first-round pick in last year's draft.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "The Chicago Cubs are the team to beat in the National League Central." -- Manager Lou Piniella.
The defending NL Central champions open spring training with a set roster, with battles expected only in center field and at the back of the rotation. Manager Lou Piniella and his staff spent most of last spring getting to know their players and the first two months of the season trying to iron out problems. With that behind them, the Cubs will focus on having better approaches at the plate so they don't run into scoring droughts such as the one that proved fatal in last year's playoffs.
ARRIVALS: RHP Jose Ascanio (trade with Braves), RF Kosuke Fukudome (free agent from Japan), RHP Jon Lieber (free agent from Phillies).
DEPARTURES: OF Jacque Jones (traded to Tigers), RHP Roberto Novoa (claimed off waivers by Orioles), C Jason Kendall (free agent, signed with Brewers), LHP Will Ohman (traded to Braves), OF Cliff Floyd (free agent, signed with Rays), RHP Mark Prior (non-tendered free agent, signed with Padres), RHP Steve Trachsel (non-tendered, unsigned).
SPRING FOCUS: Manager Lou Piniella will do minimal tinkering in his second year as Cubs manager. Over the winter, Piniella noted that none of his big hitters -- Alfonso Soriano, Derrek Lee or Aramis Ramirez -- enjoyed a career year in 2007, yet the Cubs still won their division. The addition of Fukudome gives the Cubs a high on-base percentage threat, and Piniella may move him into several spots in the order before settling on fifth.
1. RHP Carlos Zambrano
2. LHP Ted Lilly
3. LHP Rich Hill
4. RHP Jon Lieber
5. RHP Ryan Dempster
Zambrano has Cy Young potential, but he tends to lose focus on and off the mound. He signed a new long-term contract extension late last season, and perhaps that will settle him. This winter, he said he no longer would predict Cy Young Awards for himself, something he did last spring. Zambrano termed that a mistake. When he's on, he has some of the best pure stuff in baseball.
Lilly is a steady No. 2, and the Cubs would like to see Hill finally harness his great potential once and for all. Hill has a devastating curveball, and when he mixes it properly with his fastball, he can pile up the strikeouts while walking few.
The addition of Lieber and Dempster's move from closer to starter clearly put the heat on RHP Jason Marquis, whom the Cubs may yet trade. Marquis faltered down the stretch and fell out of favor with Piniella. LHP Sean Marshall has 45 games of big-league experience. Nagging injuries have kept him from pitching full seasons.
RHP Bob Howry (closer)
RHP Carlos Marmol
RHP Kerry Wood
LHP Scott Eyre
RHP Michael Wuertz
RHP Kevin Hart
The arrival of Marmol last year changed the entire complexion of the bullpen. If Dempster remains in the rotation, it's possible Marmol could slide into the closer's job and move Howry back into a setup role, where he has excelled for several years. Wood seemed fully recovered from shoulder surgery. If he can pitch back-to-back days or three days in four comfortably, he's also a closer candidate.
Piniella never had a true long reliever last year, but Hart could fill that role in 2008. The Cubs liked what they saw in late-season appearances. Wuertz is a steady middle man with a good slider.
1. LF Alfonso Soriano
2. SS Ryan Theriot
3. 1B Derrek Lee
4. 3B Aramis Ramirez
5. RF Kosuke Fukudome
6. 2B Mark DeRosa
7. C Geovany Soto
8. CF Felix Pie
Piniella made it easy on reporters by announcing his starting lineup in January during the team's annual fan convention. Of course, as with all things from Piniella, this is subject to change. Even though Piniella has Fukudome penciled into the fifth spot, Piniella said Fukudome could hit second or third. Look for a lot of lineup juggling during Cactus League games.
The bottom third of the order could be soft if Soto can't continue his solid hitting from the minor leagues or if Pie proves again that he's not ready.
C Henry Blanco
1B/OF Daryle Ward
INF/OF Ronny Cedeno
INF Mike Fontenot
OF Sam Fuld
Blanco is one of the better backup catchers in baseball. A painful neck injury hampered him much of last year, but he was able to play 47 games of winter ball this offseason. Blanco is a good handler of pitchers and has a strong arm.
Ward proved to be a valuable pinch hitter, but he'll have to stay away from nagging injuries. Fuld made a splash in September, and he could conceivably push Pie for the starting job.
Cedeno also has starter's potential, and Piniella made a telling remark in the offseason when he said he wanted Cedeno to concentrate on baseball better, suggesting that the young infielder still has issues with maturity and concentration. During winter ball, Cedeno had an OBP of .396 and an OPS of .811.
TOP ROOKIES: CF Felix Pie is the Cubs' perennial "can't-miss" prospect. If Pie takes to heart the Cubs' teachings and lets his natural ability flow, he could blossom this year. One thing is for sure: Pie can go get it in center field, and that should help Alfonso Soriano in left.
The key to C Geovany Soto's success last year was twofold: The Cubs were patient with him and gave him another year at Class AAA. The other was that Soto got himself into good physical shape. He looked slim and trim over the winter. Soto calls games like a veteran, and he possesses a strong arm.
RHP Angel Guzman (elbow surgery in September 2007) will miss most of the 2008 season.

Evercore Hires Lazard's Goldstein in Restructuring Group
Evercore Partners Inc., the investment-banking advisory firm founded by Roger Altman, hired Lazard Ltd.'s Stephen Goldstein for its restructuring and debt group.
Goldstein, who spent a decade at Lazard, will be a senior managing director, focusing on corporate restructuring and financing, New York-based Evercore said today in a statement.
Goldstein, 42, advised on restructurings and debt-financing transactions for companies including grocer Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co., commercial real-estate lender iStar Financial Inc. and Charter Communications Inc., a cable-television operator, Evercore said. Advisory firms anticipate an increase in restructurings amid concern that slowing global growth and Europe's debt crisis will diminish investor appetite for risky securities and limit options for companies seeking to refinance.
William Repko, co-founder of Evercore's restructuring group, moved to a senior advisory role at the end of 2011. The group, headed by co-founder David Ying, hired Steve Wellington in April as a senior managing director in London from Bank of America Corp., and recruited Lloyd Sprung from Miller Buckfire & Co. last year.
Before Lazard, Goldstein worked as an investment banker at Thomas Weisel Partners Group Inc. and its predecessor firm, Montgomery Securities, and began as an attorney at Morgan, Lewis & Bockius. He received a law degree from New York University School of Law, and a bachelor of arts from Cornell University.

Paris 66
Paris 66, a tiny French bistro and crepery in East Liberty, is subtitled "Everyday French Food." Maybe that description flies in France, but here in Pittsburgh, the café's French-speaking staff and elaborate menu of perfectly folded food make it anything but every day.
Although owners Frederic and Lori Rongier have yet to hold a grand opening (set for June 21), the restaurant is already packed at lunchtime. The rich butter cream façade is tucked between shops on Penn Circle South. A large bay window allows passersby to watch the head chef (who greets everyone with a lively "bonjour!") fold crepes and plate food so perfectly it looks like artwork.
Behind a heavy wooden door, chattering voices overwhelm the small rectangular seating area. In the kitchen, which is also the check-out area, disorganized shelves lined with coffee cups, and glass cases packed with homemade desserts make the place feel more like a quaint sidewalk café than a fancy French restaurant.
And that's good thing, because that's exactly what Paris 66 is – most of the time. After the grand opening, the owners plan to break out the linens and prepare an elaborate multi-course dinner once a month. The special meals will be reservation only and each one will likely will feature food from a different region of France.
Paris 66 is open for lunch Tuesday through Saturday and dinner Thursday through Saturday. The entrees are primarily crepes. Two types -- savory (like "La Paris 66" with ham, swiss cheese, egg, mushrooms and tomato provencale) and sweet (like "La Boulogne" with banana and nutella or homemade chocolate sauce with whipped cream).
Because of the small staff, much of which came from the recently closed Ma Provence in Squirrel Hill, the bistro appropriately closes from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. each day. Appropriate because that's the same thing many restaurants do in France; it gives employees time to take a break and regroup.
So while Paris 66 may have far-away roots, it's already finding a foothold in East Liberty. And technically, it hasn't even opened.
-- Danielle Kucera

I'm very easy going. I dont like to fight so if thats whats gets you off, Thank you for your time and interest but please leave!
I am currently trying to find a better job and start a better life for myself but i believe it would be boring with out the right individual.
I love guns... firm believer in the 2nd amendment. for those who believe and support peace and harmony please understand this, the 3 beats of war, peace, and revolution coincide with each other in an endless dance. With out peace there is no war and without war there is no peace it is human nature to these things..I wish that true peace was obtainable but at our current intelligence as humans in this world, it is sadly, not obtainable.
Now that i have scared the vast majority off, i love flying r/c model airplanes, i love competative sports, mostly racing , not your nascar or drag racing. i like drift racing and the red bull air race, races that take true skill.
I like most anime, kind of a nerd about it. I love playing video games, esp. with other people, games include Skyrim, Battlefield 3, among others.
i have a truck but it is getting worked on right now so i dont drive lucky for me my work is just down the road so i can walk(great way to stay in shape)
Im short for a guy... im 5'6" 170#'s brown hair, hazel eyes. i have female friends of mine that have stated to me that all the good guys are gone... not really. ill be conceded for a moment, im very compassionate and understanding of situations. im very flexible on time, but dont toy with me ...this isnt my first time around the park. i have been cheated on, lie to, and abused. (not easy for a guy to say that). i dont play games with womens head. if i believe you are playing with my head i will leave. im not going to waste your time as well as mine.

Initiatives with People
It is said that most traffic accidents are caused directly or indirectly by human behavior. Mazda endeavors to raise safety awareness among adults and children through various means of communication.
Raising Traffic Safety Awareness
In cooperation with local municipalities and organizations, Mazda and its Group companies in Japan and overseas conduct various activities to raise safety awareness.
The Company hosts safety-related exhibitions at the Mazda Museum in the Hiroshima Head Office, the "Kids' Quiz on Traffic Safety" website for children, and other projects.
In May 2015, Mazda held various events to promote understanding of Mazda's safety technologies, including the event at the Mazda R&D Center Yokohama (MRY), titled "Sustainable 'Zoom-Zoom' Forum 2015 — Satisfying both driving pleasure and outstanding environmental and safety performance."
Sustainable "Zoom-Zoom" Forum 2015
Safe Driving Demonstration
Starting from FY March 2015, Mazda has held the Mazda Driving Academy, an experience and training program to help customers in Japan learn the theories and techniques to control their cars easily, comfortably and safely. A variety of curriculums tailored to the needs and level of the customers are offered, from basic driver training of drive, turn, and stop, to the exciting experience of driving on a racing circuit, with the aim of improving their driving skills and raising the awareness of safe driving. In FY March 2015, the Mazda Driving Academy was held six times.
Raising Awareness a Safer and Comfortable Driving Position
Mazda is focusing its efforts on the design of a safer and comfortable driving position and promoting activities to communicate the importance of such a position to customers. A customer, seated in the actual driver's seat, receives explanations about the basic driving position with ideal seating angle in which the driver remains comfortable and stress-free, even during a long-distance drive and can better control the car promptly in case of emergency. This activity has been implemented at some dealer shops and in various events in Japan since FY March 2015. Mazda promotes activities to gain the understanding of distributor and dealer staff in Japan and overseas, with the aim of deploying this activity globally in FY March 2016.

Happy Hooters
Featuring Brandie Moore
Date August 22nd, 2011
Photos 63
Brandie Moore loves reading, writing poetry, playing video games and taking walks in the park. "I'm a casual dresser. Casual but cute. I wear long skirts or pants and a low-cut top. Sometimes I wear boy shorts." She likes tall, dark guys who have a good sense of humor. "I love a guy to have a nice, big butt." Brandie remembers the day she lost her virginity: "I was 18 and I lost it to my ex-fiance. I snuck him into my bedroom late at night. We started making out and he pulled out a condom, asking if I was ready. It was the first time for both of us. He put on the condom and quickly thrust inside of me.

I agree with the other comments. Brandie is AWESOME! This is a superior set. Love the outfit. I especially enjoyed the long sequence of panty removal shots. Brandie may have the most delicious ass of all time! Love the back of her thighs.

2000 Subaru Impreza Coupe L 2dr Coupe AWD
I bought this impreza l coupe 3 months ago for my job. I have put 10k miles on it in 3 months and this car has been amazing inside and out. If you want a reliable motor the 2.2 is the way to go as long as you do your basic maintenance this car will go above 200k mark easy. This is my 2nd Subaru and i can say that for the price, this is the best investment i've made.
AWD comfort, handling sporty look, decent gas mileage,
As others mentioned cup holders where created by the engineers 2 year old.
Generally it's a good car, it's safe,
comfortable and drives smooth. It's a
nice size for me and handles and
responds very well.
AWD is great in the snow and rain.
Handles well and is quick. power
windows and locks are nice too.
Have had a lot of problems with brakes
and brake noise. All the dealer says
is "It's normal with subarus."

11 Tips for Taking Better Smartphone Photos
Taking photos at family events used to be a huge production. Today, however, it is just so easy to use your smartphone to capture those wonderful family gatherings.
Uncle Sam was the designated photographer in my family when we were growing up. He loved to take photos, and he always had the latest cameras available. Sammy would bring his camera to each event, making sure to charge it in advance or to bring fresh batteries. He would take candid shots, and we usually tried to have a large group photo with as many people as possible. At the end of the day, if you wanted to be in the photo, you had to be where the camera was located.
Although we still have power issues with modern smartphones, today just about everyone has a phone to capture special moments. It's never been easier for every family member to record family experiences and preserve them for future generations.
As easy as it has become to "snap" photos or, more correctly, press the picture icon on your phone, not every captured image has the same quality.
We've collected some helpful tips for taking better photos with your smartphone: Continue reading "11 Tips for Taking Better Smartphone Photos" »

Technology: Staying in touch through the years
There are many ways to stay connected with our family, no matter the distance.
We write e-mails, send letters or speak on the phone. Even with Skype on our computers, many of us still have a land line phone at home to connect with our families locally and worldwide.
Hearing our families' voices brings us closer together, but how were we able to keep in touch before all these technological advances showed up in our homes?
Construction of the first regular phone line was completed in 1877. By the end of 1880, there were 47,900 telephones in the US. Since the first Bell telephone company was established in 1878, phones have evolved from the "candlestick" telephone to rotary-dial and to today's cordless handsets.

This candies are very sweet, some colors are even more than the others. It does't steak to my teeth very much. It's nice to eat 3-4 of them but than it just too sweat, but does't taste artificial.
Gode jelly beans
Posted by 4992959810147706713 on Dec 28, 2013
Etter min smak kunne de vært bedre om de var litt mindre søte (følelse av at det knaser i sukker når man tygger på de), men ungene elsker de og det er jo genialt at de er økologiske. Jeg kommer til å kjøpe de igjen.
Posted by odereviews on Jun 24, 2013
Good organic candies. Price was good too. Not much to complain. Always fun to eat more healthier candies.

Just like having your own cottage. Breakfast selection was very good. Breakfast on the patio was a very pleasant setting. Our hostess was helpful for any needs and gave great advice on the town and locale.

We came to celebrate my wife's (surprise) birthday. Jody helped me plan the 4 day adventure including a special meal event at Glacier Point. We came from distance and Mike and Jody helped supply our adventure with needed items as thermos backpack and snacks. Having a nice 2 room suite was essential to "home time" between hiking activities. One might argue that being more central in Yosemite might be nicer but there you are one of many consumers. At "Haven of Rest" you feel more than one of many. For a great "private getaway" in natural beauty here is a great starting place. Mark E. Kansas City

Wow, what a truly fantastic place to stay! We stayed at The Haven of Rest on route to Yosemite and what a jewel to find. Everything about The Haven of Rest is welcoming and puts you instantly at ease. Jody and Mike are the perfect hosts and make every effort to make your stay both relaxing and memorable. The rooms were spacious, clean and very comfortable, and the breakfast is absolutely delicious. Our personal highlight was sitting in the hot-tub late in the evening, sipping a gin and tonic whilst watching three deer enter the garden, simply breathtaking. Many thanks Jody and Mike for making our stay so wonderful. Vicky and Ian (UK)

To all the travelers of Yosemite, may I share this experience with you of a 3 night stay at Haven of Rest. After my first few minutes of entering the B&B much to my relief the atmosphere was soothing. When I have a highest thread count in luxury bedding along with a bath that is magnificent and spacious, it is then when I will tell all to stay here. It gets better....my host Jody cooked, served so well that I considered moving in. The location also was perfect after 6 hours of hiking, I looked forward to my Rest at Haven! By the way, the spa was beneficial to my joints.

My girlfriend who is from China has never experienced a bed and breakfast. We decided to make a trip to Yosemite National Park. To her surprise, we went to A Haven of Rest B&B. When she walked through the door, she was so touched by what she saw. I got the romance package and the roses were beautiful with my own special note to her. It was our 1 year anniversary of being together. No amount of words can describe the great hospitality, the great breakfasts and dinner. All perfect. We went to Yosemite Park and after a long day, it was so great to come home and have a dinner served to us. We then relaxed for the evening. The accomodations were so comfortable. Better than a 4 star hotel. The only negative was the weather was a little cold to enjoy the outdoor hottub. Jody and Mike bent over backwards to help us with anything we needed. From driving directions, to park ideas, to dinner and breakfast changes. This will be something my girlfriend and I will always remember. We were so blessed to have found Jody and Mike.

We stayed for two nights as part of our West coast Trip, we wished we had booked for longer. The accommodation and hospitality provided exceeded our expectations. The Haven of Rest was easily located and provided a very private, unobtrusive and extremely comfortable stay. Mike and Jody had thought of every little thing you may need to make your stay comfortable, They were also kind enough to post us back an item we had left behind. The breakfast was superb and served on the patio. We used the hot tub both evenings and found our stay in this inn very therapeutic, we hope to return again.Thank you again for such a wonderful time.

Our innkeepers, Mike & Jody, were greatly accommodating and generous, and yet gave us the privacy to enjoy ourselves. The rooms were perfect, the large hot tub was a great bonus, and their breakfasts were delicious! It was wonderfully relaxing! We greatly enjoyed our stay!

We just got home from 3 nights at the "Haven", on a little anniversary vacation to Yosemite. The location is close to the entrance to the Yosemite National Park and it's an enjoyable drive into the park if you are looking for accommodations more reasonably priced than those hotels in the park itself. Mike and Jody's B&B was like a home away from home. They made our stay as comfortable as possible. The two room suite is so comfy, especially the bed. Their attention to detail is obvious. Mike and Jody were so very gracious and eager to please. Breakfast was to order from typical breakfast fare - waffles, eggs, pancakes, sausage, bacon, oatmeal, toast, fruit and cereal. They were nice enough to accommodate our special dietary requirements as well, and we appreciated that. Breakfast was more than substantial enough to fuel us for our busy days. We took advantage of the spa and enjoyed reading and relaxing in the backyard as well, after the day's strenuous hikes in the park. We would not hesitate to recommend this B&B if you need a bit of rest and relaxation. Thanks so much Mike and Jody.

We enjoyed a wonderful 5 course meal at Erna's Elderberry House (Oakhurst) for Thanksgiving with wine pairings...tired and full we fell into bed at the Haven of Rest. It was just like gong home. The bed was wonderful as were the furnishings and amenities. Couldn't have asked for another thing. Jody takes great pride in her meals and breakfast was wonderful. We will certainly return.

"We had a temporary issue that began yesterday with a server that generated DRM code for some apps being downloaded," Apple said in a statement to AllThingsD. Apple said it affected only a small number of users.
"The issue has been rectified and we don't expect it to occur again," Apple said. Those who have an affected app can re-download it from the App Store.
Notably, Apple has also removed relevant reviews for the affected apps, reports MacStories.
"Apps like Instapaper, GoodReader, and The Early Edition are showing no reviews for the latest versions available, which are the ones that were crashing earlier in the week."

Speeding up hard disks with DMA
A simple command helps you switch on the afterburner for your hard disks and drives. hdparm improves the performance of your storage devices.
You have a new hard disk, but it still takes ages to copy files? And you get jerky pictures when you play a movie via your DVD drive? How can this be? Many hard disks and other drives – especially if they are a bit older – do not perform as they might. The operating system and the BIOS do not leverage the true potential of the mass storage device's features. Interestingly, enabling or optimizing DMA – an important function – can enormously improve the data throughput for hard disks, CD-ROM, and DVD drives.

Anderson Cooper
When disaster strikes,and we peer into our televisions for the latest breaking news, it's usually Anderson Cooper's steely blue eyes peering back. Since joining CNN in 2001, Cooper has risen within the network's ranks to anchor the acclaimed Anderson 360, while becoming the preeminent voice of reason throughout the decade's most notable tragedies. From Hurricane Katrina and the earthquake in Haiti to the BP oil spill and the revolution in Egypt (where he was physically assaulted while on duty), Cooper's unflinching pursuit of the facts and his relentless dedication to quality journalism have helped make a boundless world just a little bit smaller. His new syndicated daytime talk show, Anderson, premiered in September, which raises the question: Is Anderson the new Oprah?
AppealMale news anchors aren't traditionally known for their model looks, especially not on CNN (Wolf Blitzer, Larry King and Aaron Brown, anyone?). But Anderson Cooper has single-handedly broken the mold. Thanks to his piercing blue eyes, silver hair and chiseled facial features, the former model (Cooper modeled for Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein when he was younger) is consistently voted one of the sexiest newscasters on television and was even named one of People Magazine's Sexiest Men Alive in 2005. But don't get too excited, ladies; it's widely believed that the notoriously private Cooper is gay, despite his refusal to discuss his sexuality in public.
SuccessThere is arguably no more recognizable or trusted face in television news than Anderson Cooper's. Since joining CNN a decade ago, Cooper -- who first began as the channel's weekend anchor and then moved to prime time following the war in Iraq -- has made a career of hopping from one global hot spot to the next while covering the world's biggest news stories both at home and abroad. As host of Anderson Cooper 360, Cooper's unflinching coverage of Hurricane Katrina, the earthquake in Haiti, the BP oil spill, and the Egyptian revolution (just to name a few) have earned him a slew of Emmy awards. Cooper has also won a Silver Plaque from the Chicago International Film Festival for his coverage of the Bosnian civil war, a National Headliners Award for his tsunami coverage, a Bronze Telly for his work on famine in Somalia, a Bronze Award from the National Educational Film and Video Festival for a report on political Islam, and a National Order of Honour and Merit from the Haitian government for his coverage of the earthquake last year. Cooper also regularly contributes segments to 60 Minutes and authored a best-selling book, Dispatches from the Edge. Still, his ubiquity is set to reach soaring new heights with new, syndicated daytime talk show Anderson, which is already being snatched up by affiliates nationwide.
Anderson Cooper BiographyAnderson Cooper is used to being in the public eye. The son of writer Wyatt Emory Cooper and noted renaissance woman Gloria Vanderbilt, Cooper appeared on The Tonight Show when he was just 3, and as a child accompanied his parents to parties with guests like Charlie Chaplin, Lillian Gish and George Plimpton. His father died of heart failure shortly after, an event that would have a huge impact on Cooper's life. Feeling the urge to earn his keep despite his family's considerable fortune, Cooper began modeling when he was 10, but quit after being propositioned by a seedy photographer. The budding journalist began his globetrotting during the second semester of his senior year at The Dalton School, when he went to South Africa, where he contracted malaria and had to be hospitalized in Kenya.
After graduating from The Dalton School in 1985, Anderson Cooper continued his education at Yale, where he studied both political science and international relations. Cooper's senior year was marred when his brother leaped to his death from the balcony of their New York apartment. Despite the tragedy, Cooper returned to Yale and graduated in 1989. To this day, Cooper maintains that his brother's suicide was the catalyst for his career in journalism.
Anderson Cooper Plants The Seeds For A Career In JounralismAfter college, Anderson Cooper spent two summers as an intern at the CIA before arming himself with a video camera and a fake press pass and traveling to Burma and Somalia. He edited his video diaries into short reports and sold them to Channel One, a closed-circuit classroom news network. Cooper continued to travel to places that could match the pain he was feeling internally -- Thailand, Vietnam, Rwanda, and Bosnia included. Thanks to his work with Channel One, Cooper was eventually hired by ABC, making him one of its youngest correspondents ever. Unfortunately Cooper was assigned to the little-watched World News Now, and when ABC offered him the job as host of the reality show The Mole, he jumped at the chance despite winning an Emmy for his coverage of Princess Diana's funeral.
Anderson Cooper Is Hired By CNN
Despite the stigma that comes with hosting a reality TV show, CNN took a chance on Anderson Cooper and hired him in 2002, where he would join Paula Zahn as cohost of its morning show. After returning from assignment in Afghanistan, Cooper was asked to fill in for Aaron Brown as host of NewsNight, and the rest is history. In September 2003, Cooper became anchor of the provocative and in-depth evening newscast Anderson Cooper 360, which quickly catapulted the atypical anchor to international fame.

Aardvark Baby Watch
The most comfortable position for our very pregnant Padmae these days is on her back with her head in nursery keeper Dawn Strasser's lap! We're hoping to see a healthy baby aardvark any day now!
Aardvarks give birth to a single offspring (occasionally twins are produced) after a seven-month pregnancy. Youngsters emerge with eyes open and claws fully developed.

Car submerged at Fishermans Beach
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- December 18, 2012
A CAR that can't swim and isn't wearing a life jacket is in deep water off the boat ramp at Fishermans Beach.
The white sedan, believed to be a Lexus, was totally submerged by 8.45am - and the tide is rising, The Manly Daily reports.
Northern Beaches duty officer Insp Graeme Pickering said the driver of the car, a Curl Curl man, drove down the ramp at 12.30am today to be closer to the water.
He said that when the driver applied the brake at the foot of the boat ramp, the car failed to stop and slid into the water.
The driver couldn't open the door of his car and had to climb out the window.
Insp Pickering said that when the police arrived, the car was completely submerged but the headlights were still on.
He said police divers were on their way to Collaroy.
After the divers place a hook around the car, it will be towed ashore.
