Paws in Parks
The Paws in Parks program balances the needs of all park users, including dogs.
Paws in Parks provides off-leash access to accommodate the needs of dog owners to exercise their pets; to reduce the congestion of dogs and their owners along Dallas Road; and to ensure the basic needs of other parks users are not unduly compromised by off-leash areas. There are 12 off-leash parks in Victoria.
Paws in Parks sites have specific areas and times for dogs to exercise off-leash, provided they remain under their owner's control and that owners carry a leash with them at all times. With the exception of designated off-leash areas and private property, all dogs must be on a leash in the City of Victoria.
Each Paws in Parks site includes signage, a dispenser stocked with biodegradable doggie bags, and a trash bin.

Rules to Paws For
In addition to knowing when and where dogs are allowed off-leash, there are some simple rules for handlers to follow:
- Make sure your dog is wearing a current licence tag on their collar. Learn more about licensing your dog here and pay for your dog licence online
- Pick up after your dog and dispose of waste in a garbage can.
- Keep your dog outside of playground boundaries.
- Do not allow your dog to dig holes in a City park.
- Do not let your dog jump up on people.
- Ensure you have control of your dog at all times, whether on or off-leash.
No Dog Areas
No dogs, other than certified assistance dogs, are allowed on or off-leash, in the following areas:
- A small area of Beacon Hill Park (the heron rookery), located south of Good Acre Lake
- Ross Bay Cemetery
- Gonzales Beach between June 1 and August 31
- Pioneer Square
- Playgrounds with sand, rubber, or wood chips.
Increased Dogs Off-Leash Education and Enforcement
at Dallas Road Pathway and Beacon Hill Park
Dallas Road Pathway is a popular spot for walkers and joggers, tourists, and dog owners exercising their pets. The greenspace between Douglas Street and Clover Point is considered part of Beacon Hill Park, and contains the only area of the park where dogs are permitted to be off-leash.
The off-leash area is located between Dallas Road and the pathway, from Douglas Street to Clover Point. Please note dogs are required to be on a leash when on the pathway and anywhere south of the pathway (towards the water).
To balance the needs of all users of the pathway and park, the City of Victoria has additional Animal Control Bylaw presence during summer evenings and weekends to educate dog owners and ensure they have close supervision of their dogs and carry a leash at all times. Improved signage will be also posted in the area to to remind users of the off-leash regulations and to clarify the on-leash portions of the park.
Within Beacon Hill Park, dogs must be kept on-leash at all times and are not allowed in the Heronry at Good Acre Lake, at the Children's Petting Zoo, and at playgrounds in the park. Signs are posted reminding users of the off-leash rules, along with dispensers of biodegradable doggie bags and trash bins.
Off-leash regulations are in place to prevent dogs from running uncontrolled along the pathway, bumping into people causing injury; and to protect wildlife in the park from being chased, such as peacocks, squirrels and deer that make Beacon Hill Park their home.
Dog owners who don't have proper control of their pet or who do not follow the dogs off-leash rules, can face a fine ranging from $100-$300. Increased patrols are currently underway and will continue until the end of September, during the time when the area is most popular.Go to Top

Second, you can't possibly believe your initial result. You've paid in only $230 and it managed to accumulate to nearly $5000!?
Third, only $50 was accumulating for the entire quarter. The last $15 was accumulating at most one week.
Conclusion: Please make a more rational attempt, then we can talk.

As more people share personal info online, identity thieves are on the hunt. Many of these identity thieves are using new and creative ways to steal personal and private information from senior citizens and older adults. For many senior citizens and for those of us with aging parents, it can seem complicated to navigate the technology do's and don'ts of the 21st century – especially as technology changes each year.
A great deal of information, tools and experts are available to assist seniors in protecting their financial resources. Unfortunately, many individuals are not aware of these tools, or are unsure how to obtain them or best utilize each resource. With proper resources and the necessary tools, individuals can obtain the necessary documents and substantially reduce the risk of becoming a victim of identity theft or a scam. I have compiled the following list of 10 consumer tips and resources to successfully protect oneself in a technology driven society:
1. Know the warning signs. Most scams or fraud schemes use key words or phrases that allow you to distinguish it as a scam, if you are aware of them. The Federal Bureau of Investigation lists several of the characteristics to watch out for with telemarketing fraud, email scams, and other forms of fraud.
2. Create a good password. Make sure you create a strong password for your email account and other online accounts. Use these Password Do's and Don'ts from the AARP, like combining capital and lower case letters and using unrelated words.
3. Properly report lost or stolen credit cards or debit cards. There are certain procedures you should follow to report a lost or stolen credit card that will help minimize the risk of identity theft or financial fraud. This information sheet from the FTC provides tips to keep your cards safe – like never carrying your PIN in your wallet or purse, cutting up old credit cards, and checking your account activity – and also provides steps to take if your card is lost or stolen.
4. Beware of internet scams. Today, many of us pay our bills online or use credit cards when we shop on the Web. Sometimes scams come in the form of unsolicited emails or fake websites that are set up to look like these banking sites or shopping sites. This list from the Better Business Bureau provides information on the top five scams targeting seniors and older adults.
5. Beware of cell phone scams. Scams targeting seniors and older adults are not limited to the internet. Scam artists can use technology to "clone" cell phone information so that the legitimate phone user receives a bill for the cloned phone's calls. It is important to regularly check your cell phone bill to look for erroneous phone calls. Find out more about cell phone scams with this information and tip sheet from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
6. Watch what you post. Social media sites like Facebook offer a great way to keep in touch with children, grandchildren and old friends you may have lost touch with. However, it is important to keep in mind that the information you put on these sites is not limited to those individuals. Unlike writing a personal letter, the information shared on sites like Facebook can be seen by many individuals, including those who are looking to harm seniors through identity theft. Don't post personal contact information, always check your privacy settings, and make sure you routinely change your passwords.
7. Know how to protect yourself from medical identity theft. Identity thieves often use personal and health insurance information to get medical treatment, prescription drugs or surgery. Like traditional identity theft, medical ID theft can affect your finances, but it also can take a toll on your health. Find out how to detect medical identity theft and learn what to do if you think you have been a victim of medical identity theft with this site at the Federal Trade Commission.
8. Watch out for "phishing" emails. Phishing scams are delivered in the form of an email. They often appear as though they have been sent by your bank or credit card company, and they typically request personal information. The text of a "phishing" email might say: "We suspect an unauthorized transaction on your account. To ensure that your account is not compromised, please click the link below and confirm your identity." The FTC suggests these eight tips to help you avoid getting hooked by a phishing scam.
9. Monitor your credit report. A credit report includes information on where you live, how you pay your bills, and whether you've been sued or arrested, or have filed for bankruptcy. It is important to monitor your report on a regular basis to watch for any suspicious activity. The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) requires each of the nationwide consumer reporting companies — Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion — to provide you with a free copy of your credit report, at your request, once every 12 months. To order, visit annualcreditreport.com, call 1-877-322-8228. Beware of imposter credit report sites. Annualcreditreport.com is the only authorized site to fulfill free credit reports.
10. Stay up-to-date on new scams and fraud alerts. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) website offers a list of current scams that have recently been reported. Check this site regularly or sign up to receive email updates of new scams and warnings. http://www.fbi.gov/cyberinvest/escams.htm
Additionally, in the coming weeks, I am hosting two workshops in Virginia's Fourth District on August 31 and September 1. The workshops are designed to help educate seniors and other citizens on consumer information including proper documentation, identity theft and scams targeting seniors. Experts from the Virginia Attorney General's office and the Bureau of Insurance will be on-hand to discuss how to best protect financial assets and the steps to take in case one suspects they have fallen victim to a scam. Some of the topics we will be covering include:
You can find more information on these events here: http://forbes.house.gov/ConstituentServices/Events.htm
Spend what you do not have. Runaway stimulus and bailout spending has caused our national debt to reach record levels, allowing it to be financed by China and giving China leverage on the global stage.
Increase energy taxes. Cap-and-trade energy bills like the ones currently before Congress create a national energy tax that would increase energy costs and kill jobs while unemployment stands at almost 10 percent.
Raise taxes on small business and American families. The Bureau of Labor Statistics recently reported that the economy lost 131,000 jobs in July. 15 million Americans are trying to find work. Raising taxes in the midst of a struggling economy would be detrimental to small businesses and further cripple the economy.
Job Creating Principles
Make tax cuts permanent. Implementing lasting tax cuts will help to restore economic freedom in the United States and put our country on the path to a brighter future. The Economic Freedom Act (H.R. 5029), which I have cosponsored, would reduce taxes for American businesses and families.
Decrease burdensome regulations on small businesses. Small business and entrepreneurs are the cornerstone of our nation's economy. In our current economic situation, it is ever more critical that we support our small businesses by continuing pro-growth policies like lowering taxes, simplifying the tax code, and reducing burdensome regulations.
Lower the debt. Our national debt is expected to reach 93.1% of our GDP this year. Economic experts say even a 1 percent increase in GDP can create almost one million jobs. A commitment to decreasing the debt is a job-creating principle, which is why I have introduced a bill to cut government spending by 40% over the next five years.

John "Mitch" Mitchell, drummer for the Jimi Hendrix Experience, was found dead in a Portland, OR hotel room early this morning. He was 61.
Widely acknowledged as one of rock's best drummers, Mitchell played a key role in shaping and driving the JHE sound. He was primarily influenced by Jazz drummers such as Max Roach and Elvin Jones, but Mitchell was adept at a wide range of styles, enabling him to keep pace with Hendrix at all times, no matter if they were off to Saturn or the bottom of the sea. He anchored the landmark albums Are You Experienced?, Axis Bold As Love, and Electric Ladyland, and was behind the kit for Monterey Pop, Woodstock, and Isle Of Wight.
Mitch Mitchell was no sideman. He was every bit as innovative and proficient on the drums as Hendrix was on guitar. Former Experience manager Chaz Chandler revealed how he and Hendrix came to choose Mitchell for the JHE over Aynsley Dunbar: "We actually tossed a coin and it came down for Mitch." Good thing – they got one of the best in the business.

Totally Awesome machine

Comments about Samsung 7.2 Cu. Ft. Electric Dryer - White:
62 years old and have my share of dryers over the decades including Maytag. I have to say, this is the very best machine I have had. Dries the clothes so much faster. I am guessing because the basket is HUGE for the clothes. I can load my 4.2CF washer to the top and this dryer dries them completely. Can't wait to see how much electricity this will save. Love the electronic controls and little music it plays :)
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

from ME
Have had this for 2 or 3 weeks but so far I am really liking it! I was looking for a "no frills" dryer, something basic, but purchased this with "extras" because of the price. Love the little tune it plays at the end of the cycles :)
Only lasted 20 months.
By Amar290
from Mississippi
We loved this Samsung washer and dryer until less than two years in, the dryer wouldn't stop tumbling unless the door was open even when the power light was off .It was also stuck in cooling mode, so it was useless. We're really bummed to have spent so much on a dryer that didn't last. The positives on the front end of our experience were its 7.2 cubic feet size and its features, but all of that is rendered null and void because it didn't last.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Poor Quality - broke after 16 months!
By DF4313
from Newburgh, IN 47630, USA
My dryer drum cracked after only one year and four months. Samsung offered me an 'extended warranty' for over half the price of the dryer itself! I am very displeased with this product and Samsung. I don't believe I will ever purchase another product again.
Great Dryer!

Guardian of at 76 yr old man...Purchased dryer and washer to replace antique wringer washer and outside clothes line dryer! Definitely meets my expectations, durable and works great!
Great Product

Super quiet gets work done fast and it has a nice ringtone
Very quiet and plays music
By Meangene11111112
from Va
This replaced a 10 year old loud dryer. I am very happy with this product. You have to do some easy calibration during setup but nothing hard. The door is changeable and not hard to do. Soft tones are played and when the dryer is done it plays about a 10 sec song. Some default song that Samsung thought would be nice. Great product

I have had a few problems with this dryer. Only because you have to have a short vent. If your dryer is in a basement you can not vent it up and outside. You need to use an inside vent. There Is fuse that trips out and will not let dryer run. Other than that the dryer works good.

How to fix loose key on Macbook Pro keyboard?
Well, every time I hit it on the left side of the key, anyway. It's starting to get rather bothersome. I can press the key back on without any issues and it works fine, but as soon as I hit it off to the left again, it pops off.

1st Timothy 4:3b - Which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
I believed in God when I was young, but not like I do now. When I was young, I thought God was just a big guy in a chair in the clouds, forgiving everybody that enters through the gate; but now I know that He's so much more than that. I figured this out after I moved to Karnes City. The people here are nice and loving. I've changed my ways since I've moved here. Now I believe in God way more now, and yes I have gone very far. From not being good in sports, to becoming a pretty good athlete. To being shy, to being very social in the community and with my friends. I think this is where I belong.
Thought: God changed my life.
Prayer: Dear God, thank you for all the blessings you have given me. I am so very thankful for what you have done. I will keep worshipping you and praying. Please keep me in your thoughts Lord. Amen
Join us for Sunday school at 9:45 a.m., worship service at 11 a.m. For information or help, Rev. Sue Huntsman can be reached at United Methodist Church located at 201 North Esplanade, Karnes City.

The Jervis McEntee Diaries - July 13, 1885
Diary Entry:
Monday, July 13, 1885 Worked on my picture "Desolated Shrines" today and am getting on satisfactorily. Mr. Cantine informed Girard that he had got a place for Robbie Burns who has been here with us for a short time, with a farmer on their farm in Saugerties. I told Robbie of it and as Mr. Cantine wanted him to go out with him today I took him down town to get him some clothes. On the way down I talked with him, fearing he might feel reluctant to go away from home. I told him Mr. Cantine said the man he was going with was a good man and he would have a good home, and that if he would be a good boy and do his duty I would be a friend to him. I said he was old enough now to begin to help his mother who had had a hard time trying to keep her little family together. The poor little fellow cried and wiped his eyes but said nothing. I suppose the change looked formidable to him. I bought him a nice suit of tweed clothes for five dollars, a shirt and a comb, but Mr. Cantine had gone by the two o'clk train either having gone earlier than he intended or Girard misunderstood him. So he will probably go tomorrow. After I came back I worked a little more on my picture. After tea I drove down to Ned Tomkins and made a call and got 150 celery plants. He also gave me a great handful of sweet peas and some lovely roses. A dreadful accident occurred on Lake Minnetonka near Minneapolis, yesterday I think, in which Sam Coykendalls brother John, his wife & child, his father-in-law, his mother-in-law and three others of his family lost their lives in a terrible squall which caught them while they were on the lake in a small steam launch. Sam went out there this morning. I wrote to John Andrews last night. Sara had a letter from Lucy today in which she says they go to Fort Gaston Aug. 4th and that Ray and his wife have already gone.

Indie, Nate's service dogA Newark boy is finally getting his service dog.
Six-year-old Nate Meehan has autism, and his mom, Alison, is in Oregon picking up Indie, a labradoodle. Alison explains why Nate needs a service dog.
"If you are not holding his hand all the time, he will run, and he could run out in the street. He will run away," she said.
Friends and family helped raise the more than $13,000 to pay for Indie.
Alison says Indie is trained to help keep Nate calm. Nate will meet Indie for the first time this weekend.

Situation in Mali
Does anybody have up-to-date information about the situation in Mali? Obviously the north is out of the question but what about the rest of Mali? Are there any problems obtaining visas on arrival at Bamako airport? Is it safe to travel from Bamako to Djenné and onward to Mopti? What about Dogon Country? Cheers!
Flights to Tombouctou
I am going to Mali in January and plan to visit Tombouctou. I have read there are flights from Bamako to Tombouctou but cannot find any details of their cost or frequency. Can anyone assist with this or tell me how to book in advance?
Bamako Personal Guide
Forever I have wanted to see Africa and now work will allow me a week or two in Mali. I have not been before, am busy reading books and have had immunization for a few key things.
Is it possible to find a guide with excellent English skills, and a good local knowledge for my fledgling visit? I'd really like my first trip to be a great trip so I am not discouraged. I hear so many amazing things about Africa and I ant to see it this way!
In China this isn't hard to accomplish, in Mali, I have no clue! Thanks in advance.
desert festival
We are 2-3 swedish women planning on visiting Mali for 14 days including the desert festival in january 2012. I´ve looked at the tour agencys on the homepage of the festival but they are a bit on the expensive side + it´s can be a drag being led around with a group of people we don´t know. But since the time is short we don´t want to get stuck places. Should we take an arranged tour or try to find our way on our own? Is it possible to find cars to Timbuktu, to find guides and places to stay in Dogon area etc?
Any recommendations?
Entry Visa
Is there a simple way for me to obtain an entry Visa to Mali? How long does it take? I am a UK citizen.
Learning the Tuareg language
Learning the Tuareg language
How can I learn the Tuareg language spoken in Mali?
Safety traveling in Mali
Me and my friend are planning to travel in Mali and burkina Faso for about 5 weeks. We want to go individualy, with backpacks.
The dutch embassy gives a negative advice to travel in Mali. They say nobody should travel to the northern region, and timbuktu is not safe to travel because of robbery and car-jacking etc. They say you need escorts and you have to travel in groups.
Has anyone any experience with safety in mali or tips to stay safe overthere?
And is it difficult to travel without arranged tourgroups?
Anyone traveling in Mali from Nov. 27/2010 to Dec.11/2010??
I am a single traveler who has decided at the last minute to go to Mali for only 2 short weeks. I arrive this Saturday night/Sunday morning at midnight from Morocco. I am Canadian. I cannot afford to do any tour by myself. This is my second trip to Mali.
I realize most guided tours for people who are unfamiliar with the country and want to have a relaxing stress-free trip. Unfortunately the cost of such a trip is too much for me - a single traveler. If I had known that I was going to Mali 6 months ago I would have time to find fellow travelers and do such a trip. I have been to Mali before and understand the challenges that travelers face. For that reason I ask if anyone has a tour planned in the next 2 weeks and is looking for someone to help share costs.
For me my biggest challenge is getting from Mopti to Dogon country and back in a quick amount of time. If I had time I could easily spend a few days in Mopti or Sevare finding fellow tourists for a trek. I don't need guided tours of Djenne and Tombouctou. I've been there before and simply want to return to take beautiful photographs.
However in Dogon country I definitely need a guide because I do not know what is sacred or when I can take photos or where the guesthouse is. Comme beaucoup de canadiens je parle francais mais pas une langue Dogon ou Maliene.
I really am just in need of help to get from Mopti to the Dogon and back without wasting time trying to negotiate, plan a trek and find fellow travelers. I intend to spend a few days in Djenne and surrounding villages. i don't want a pinasse trip up the Niger to Tombouctou because this is time consuming and I did that back in 2001.
I was hoping I could see Djenne, Mopti, Dogon and Tombouctou in a 2 week period but as I remember from 2001 that is next to impossible unless I spend a lot of money for a 4x4. I don't have enough time to arrange a group over the internet so I am sorry but I think my best plan will be to go to Djenne for a few days and HOPE insha'allah I meet a group going to Dogon that I can join. If not then I'll go to Mopti and insha'allah see if there is anyone about to leave. If not, I'll go to Tombouctou. I guess I will not see everything I want but I may return in another 10 years. I get the impression that you are based out of Bamako and the cost of a return trip from Bamako is quite expensive for me alone. Do you know of Dogon tour operators that are based in Mopti/Sevare that can give me a price that won't charge we for transporting the vehicle from and back to Bamako? Or is my only chance to be extremely lucky and meet with an already organized trip in Djenne/Mopti/Sevare/Bandiagara that could use another paying tourist?
If insha'allah you know of people who need another person to join their trek then I am willing to be a member of a larger group in order to save time.
Please send any responses to BOTH of my e-mail addresses: phil_marion(AT)otpp.com and philmarion(AT)hotmail.com
Camping supplies in Bamako?
Does anyone know where I can get white gas in Bamako for my camping stove? If not, is kerosene easily available?
To live in Timbuktu?
Hello Kind Peoples of the Virtual Tourist Forum,
I begin my post grad teacher training in September 2011, meanwhile I'd like to realise my dream of living in Timbuktu. I would like to be as useful as possible and hopefully volunteer in a school or in an orphanage. I speak french fluently and a little arabic. I have a degree in english. I've lived in the middle east previously and am in my early 30's.
Is there anyone living in Timbuktu that would be willing to chat to me over email?
Some of my initial questions are:
Is it possible to rent somewhere to live for 6/8/9 months? How much would that be? How safe is it for a woman to live in Timbuktu on her own? How much does food cost (weekly or monthy budget)? Is it possible to get a pay as you go mobile phone? Are there any wifi hot spots (i.e. is it worth bringing a lap top)?
Of course i would like to do this as cheaply and naturally as possible....
Thanks for reading!
Mali in the summertime
I plan to travel to Mali this July. Any advice welcome. I am particularly interested in weather conditions (rain, humidity, etc.). I plan to spend 3 weeks or a bit more.

Hi all,

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Travel buddy for Mali and Senegal November or December 2009
I am looking for a travel buddy for an adventure trip from Dakar to Timbuktu and back, using train, bus and boat. It will take 4 weeks. The ideal time would be November 2009 but could also reach into December (I am rather felxible).
I will fly from South Africa, but we could meet in Dakar, so everybody is welcome. More details on request.
Traveling to Mali in July..worth it?
My husband and I, can only take vacation on June/July and we are dying to go to Mali. I have read everywhere that is the wet season. but how bad it is?? Still good to travel? would you recommend not to go at all??
Thanks for your info..
Comanav River boat
has anybody information about the Comanav River boat on the Niger river?
From when to when is it sailing (season)? At which day does it leave in Kolikouro and arrive at Kouriome (Timbuktu). I plan to take the boeat end of november/beginnig of december and hope it is still running at that time of the year. What are the costs for the different classes? How is the food situation on board and what are your recommendations?
Thank you in advance
Is Dogon country really worth it?
I'm travelling to Mali this summer: would you recommend Dogon country? I won't have enough time to do many things so I don't want to waste my time in a very touristic place that has loose it's true and natural charme.
recommendations for a short trip in Mali
since 19th to 25th july i'm doing a short trip from toumbouctou to bamako. i don't know if it would be better staying in tombouctou and surrounding area and take a flight to bamako, or travelling by land visiting the villages on the way and using public transport to get to bamako. i'd prefer this second option, but i'm not sure if i have enough time to do it. can anyone recommend anything? any other suggestion? (bamako's surroundings, etc)
thanks a lot!!
Looking to get a group together for pinasse - Mopti to Timbuktu
Hi there!
We are two travelers looking to find a couple people to join in on a pinasse trip on the Niger River from Mopti to Timbuktu. Apparently because the river is lower than usual, there are not that many public pinasses running this route, and you have to book a private one.
If you have any suggestions on how to do this, or would like to join the more the merrier.
We will be in Mail from March 22 - April 8th, so if the dates work out anywhere in between to join up, please respond to this thread with your email, or send over an email at :email@example.com thanks!!
Happy travels! :)
Mali and Burkina Faso
I am looking for travel companions for any leg of a budget trip from Ghana (starting at Mole Park), going north through Burkina Faso, and into Mali, in February 2009. I may be leaving Mole Park around Feb. 11. My main goals for this trip are a camel trip overnight into the Sahara, Timbuktu, and Dogon country. Anything else will be gravy. Other secondary interests are traveling on the Niger by pinasse boat, Djenne and Mopti. I would like to be back in Ghana around Feb. 25.
I am volunteering in Ghana right now, training teachers. I do not have a lot of money, and none of my Ghana travel buddies want to do this trip. I would like to keep costs down by traveling with people (it's more fun that way too!) and staying in low-cost places, and/or camping or sleeping on the roof of hotels. I'll even share a bed to save money, in a platonic fashion of course. I do like food and would like to eat something nicer than street food most of the time, if convenient.
I am 36, American, female, and am easygoing, no dietary restrictions, no special requirements, and I speak a little high school French. I have traveled in Japan, Southeast Asia, Europe, Canada and the U.S. I don't have any requirements for my travel companions. I am just looking for someone, or a group of people, who are interested in doing the same things, and who will be honest and reliable on the trip. If you or your group are going to be in Mali or Burkina Faso at any time between Feb. 11 and approximately Feb. 25, and will consider letting me join you, please contact me ASAP. I would appreciate it and we would have fun!
Dogon trip - Seeking a few fellow travelers for the tour
Hi there,
I'm looking for someone traveling between January 18-30 to Mali and who would be interested in sharing a guided tour with me (decreases the expense per individual). I am in communication with someone that has been recommended and so am planning a 4 day hike.
If interested, let me know! :)
Bamako to Dakar
Does anyone know the bus schedule for Gana Transportation- Bamako to Dakar? If not Gana Transportation then any other bus transport from Bamako to Dakar and prices?

Our new look fish counters make it simple to enjoy the catch of the day
If you love fish but are reluctant to prepare and cook it at home pop along to one of our fresh fish counters and discover Fish Made Simple.
Our friendly fishmongers will help you choose your fish, select a marinade, sauce or topping, and pack it up ready to be popped in the oven or microwave. Asda fishmonger Darren Wrend shows you in our new TV ad:
You'll find a fantastic choice on our fish counters – but we know a lot of people can find the idea of handling and preparing fish a bit daunting, or they just don't know what to do with different varieties of fish.
With Fish Made Simple you're just three easy steps away from trying something new and delicious.
First, choose your fish or kebab – tuna, salmon, cod, monkfish, sea bass, prawns, scallops, whatever you fancy.
Second, choose a marinade, sauce, butter or crumb coating – from flavours like teriyaki, fragrant Thai sauce, spicy cajun crumbs and lemon and pepper butter.
Third, choose a simple way to cook – microwave bag (ready in just 3 minutes), oven bag (cutting down on mess and smell) or a BBQ foil tray (ready for summer eating!)
It all adds up to more than 100 different combinations – everything from trout in creamy wine sauce to prawn and salmon kebabs flavoured with sweet red chilli and garlic.
Each fish dish in the range costs between £2.28 and £2.38 – and currently you can get two for just £4. It's a great way to enjoy healthy, affordable, delicious food … with the minimum of fuss!

Elida Municipal Schools Superintendent Jim Daugherty will be the first candidate of four vying for retiring Portales Superintendent Randy Fowler's seat to meet with the public.
The first in a series of meet-and-greets with superintendent candidates is May 8 in the administration building.
In an effort to receive public and parent input, the Board of Education of Portales schools is holding meet-and-greets with the four finalists prior to interviewing them and making its decision. Board President Alan Garrett said the board hopes to make a decision no later than June.
Henry Montano, director of federal programs for Portales schools, will follow Daugherty's meet-and-greet on May 9. David Van Wettering, director of instruction for Portales schools, and Ted Trice, current superintendent of Grady schools, are the other two candidates and are set to meet with the public May 14 and May 15, respectively.
Daugherty says he's coming up on his 25th year working in education, a career that has given him the opportunity to wear multiple hats among the Elida, Portales and Floyd school districts.
"I've lived in this area all of my life," Daugherty said.
In addition to his agricultural education background, Daugherty said serving as Elida's superintendent provides him with hands on experience and a background he can bring to Portales.
"Basically I'm involved with every aspect of the administrative work here in Elida," Daugherty said.
Daugherty said his duties include overseeing transportation, technology, special education and submitting the district's budget.
"I work in a good district now with great students and staff and I know Portales also has great students and staff," Daugherty said. "So I just appreciate the opportunity to serve as the superintendent of a larger district such as Portales and would like to help the district continue to be successful."
Montano has also had a long career in education and has served in the school districts of Portales and Clovis. Of the 17 years he's dedicated to education, he's been the director of federal programs for Portales for three.
"I feel I'm a natural born teacher," Montano said. "The people that have guided me in life have been teachers and they've led me right into the field."
Although he sees working with Portales schools as an advantage, he credits his entire career and its experiences for why he's qualified for the job.
"I've had the opportunity to work with kids, parents and the community," Montano said.
Montano feels being born and raised in Portales is one of the main reasons why he wants to see the district grow.
"I have strong roots here in this community and I definitely have its best interests at heart," Montano said. "Children should be the main focus of all decisions made. That's what we do here and we have a great team."

Artichoke Basille's Pizza & Brewery
328 East 14th Street
New York, NY
Here is the challenge: three meals in New York, where to eat… What to eat! Rather than me scratching my head, I set up three criterias:
1) Ask a fellow blogger (not necessarily from New York) for suggestions.
2) Ask a friend who lived/has lived in New York City for a suggestion of a place that will not break the piggy bank.
3) Go to a semi-iconic place.
This post tackles point #1 (point #2 will come noon today and #3 will be tomorrow Saturday!), where I asked fellow blogger Sherman for a suggestion of a place I should visit in New York City. He pointed out several ones and, while it was all good, I had one problem: Transportation. For the most part, I was relying in either walking around or public transit which meant my range would be really limited (with my "central" location being New York Penn Station). And, while I have been told that NYC's public transit is quite good, after a couple of runs with it, I prefer Vancouver's… Anyway, I thought that after my visit to Ah-Beetz in Abbotsford which serves NY style pizza, I might as well try a pizza from New York! Of course, there are the iconic places, like Di Fara and Lombardi's; however, there were issues with both places: either, it was too far or had to buy the whole pie. And, then, there was Ray's which ended up being like a chain… That would have been all good but, instead, I went for a somewhat unconventional option: Artichoke Basille's Pizza & Brewery.
Now, Artichoke Basille's (from now on, referred as Artichoke's) is not near NY Penn Station either: An almost 3Km walk… Yeah, yeah, I could have taken transit but I was still having problems figuring out their system and thought I might as well walk this distance. Couldn't I have walked to Lombardi's? Actually, I did later that day, as I was in SoHo, but… Anyway, I arrived just after noon and, as seen above, behold, there was a line already! Fortunately, they were relatively fast and was my turn after almost 10 minutes in the line.
When it was my turn, I asked for two slices (more on that in a moment). When the cashier heard that, she looked at me as if asking me "are you *really* sure". I just smiled and paid for my order. In the meantime, they were calling each previous customer to pick up their slice. I thought that was odd because…
Yup, some of them were already prepared, sitting there, waiting for customers to order it. Even then, they did not take a piece, put it on a plate and give it to the customer. Instead, they were reheating some of the pieces first. Under normal circumstances, that might be an issue: in the case they have been sitting there for a while, even reheating it won't bring it back. To "counter" that issue, Artichoke's have only four types of pizza: artichoke spinach, crab, "Margarita" and Sicilian rather than six or eight as seen in some pizza parlours.
As mentioned above, I ordered two slices, the first one being the "Margarita" – The obvious reason was to compare it to the one from Ah-Beetz. Right after I received my order, I ran into a small problem. There aren't any tables! Instead, there were some benches outside and a makeshift counters (that is where I ended up eating). Also, I understood why the cashier asked me the "are you sure" question. The piece was !#%!@#$ huge. That single slice was longer than the plate's diameter! Furthermore…
It was way thicker than the one from Ah-Beetz. At that point, I had to tell myself: no comparison can be made given such difference. Too bad…. The "Margarita" had some sweetness from the tomato but wasn't too overpowering. The cheese provided a slight creaminess and saltiness to the pie. An almost perfect combination of the two that made me want to just keep on eating. The basil disappointed a little bit because it wasn't really aromatic; however, I won't complain because it had to go back to the oven which might have "destroyed" all the flavours it had. The dough was crispy but not too doughy. As seen above, it had its "leopard spots", considered by many to be the indicator of a good/controlled oven and a good dough. That might be true; however, there was something distracting. As mentioned above, it was thick and, in the end, really heavy.
For the second piece, I went for the slice that gives the shop its name: artichoke spinach. The dough was even slightly heavier than the "Margarita" but I soon found out that was required. That is because the best way to describe this pizza would be some pizza dough with an artichoke spinach dip on top. Had it been too thin, it would have not been able to "hold" that mix. Flavourwise, it was really savoury (not salty, though), again, similar to an artichoke spinach dip. And, similar to the "Margarita", I wanted to keep bite after bite.
After eating about half of each slice, I gave up. There was no way I would have ended up eating both slices! Still, I do not regret not finishing them; on the contrary, I might have regretted it had I overeaten… In the end, while this might not be 100% representative of NY style pizza, I really liked it. Not perfect but has some unique characteristics I appreciate. Would I come back? Well, it depends: I might want to go to Lombardi's first; otherwise, yes!

The Electronic Structure of Atoms
Once scientists had accepted the idea that electrons were constituents of all matterAnything that occupies space and has mass; contrasted with energy., theories attempting to explain just how electrons were incorporated in the structure of the atom began to develop. This was especially true after Rutherford had discovered that most of the volume of an atom was occupied by electrons. Both chemists and physicists became interested in the electronic structure of atoms—the chemists because they wanted to explain valence and bonding, and the physicists because they wanted to explain the spectra of atoms,the light emitted when gaseous atoms were raised to a high temperatureA physical property that indicates whether one object can transfer thermal energy to another object. or bombarded by electrons. We'll explore their workA mechanical process in which energy is transferred to or from an object, changing the state of motion of the object. in a later chapter.
Electrons and Light
Once we realize that there would be no light, no colors, no vision, without the pattern of behavior exhibited by electrons constrained to the nuclei of atoms, understanding electronic structure becomes much more interesting. Later we'll see how physicists and physical chemists developed theories to explain the spectra that were observed when atoms convert electrical, heatEnergy transferred as a result of a temperature difference; a form of energy stored in the movement of atomic-sized particles., and chemical enery into heat.
Light from the sun, when passed through a prism (or through the water droplets of a rainbow), produces a continuous visible spectrum, where all wavelengths are represented:
But when collections individual atoms (in the gas phase) absorb energyA system's capacity to do work., they emit energy as light with only certain wavelenghts, in a line spectrum, like those displayed by electrically excited hydrogen or neon gas, or by potassium or barium salts in a flame:
These emission spectra presented a puzzle: why did electrons, which had absorbed energy to increase their separation from the nucleusThe collection of protons and neutrons at the center of an atom that contains nearly all of the atoms's mass., emit energy as light of only certain wavelengths? The Danish physicist Niels Bohr (1885 to 1962) proposed the first theory able to explain this phenomenon, in terms of electrons with wave-like properties.
Electrons and Chemical Properties
Surprisingly, the same theory of electronic structure that explained emission spectra also explained chemical properties of the elements and bonding. The chief contributors to this development, which occurred mainly during the 15 years between 1910 and 1925, was the U.S. chemist Gilbert Newton Lewis (1875 to 1946).
Ideas about the electronic structures of atoms developed during the first half of the twentieth century. The periodic repetition of chemical properties discovered by Mendeleev led G. N. Lewis to the conclusion that atoms must have a shell structure. This was confirmed by wave mechanics. Only certain specific wave patterns are possible for an electron in an atom, and these electron clouds are arranged in concentric shells.
The energy of each electron in an atom depends on how strongly the electron is attracted by the positive charge on the nucleus and on how much it is repelled by other electrons. Although each electron cannot be assigned a precise trajectory or orbit in an atom, its wave pattern allows us to determine the probability that it will be at a certain location. From this the energy of each electron and the order of filling orbitals can be obtained. Thus we can determine the electron configurationA representation of the number of electrons of an atom or ion and the orbitals in which they lie. For example, the electron configuration of oxygen is 1s22s22p4. for an atom of any element. Such electron configurations correlate with the periodic table.
Because electrons in inner orbitals screen outer electrons from nuclear charge, the fourth and higher shells begin to fill before d (and sometimes f) subshells in previous shells are occupied. This overlap in energies of shells explains why Lewis' ideas are less useful for elements in the fourth and subsequent rows of the periodic table. It also accounts for the steady variation in properties of transition metals across the table, and for the nearly identical characteristics of inner transition elements as opposed to the large differences from one groupThose elements that comprise a single column of the periodic table. Also called family. of representative elements to the next.
Although some added complication arises from the wave-mechanical picture, it does confirm Lewis' basic postulate that valence electrons determine chemical properties and influence the bonding of one atom to another. In other pages you will see how rearrangement of valence electrons can hold atoms together, and how different kinds of bonds result in different macroscopic properties.

Yesterday morning, Brian Baldinger ate an unusually large portion of overreaction omelets doused in hyperbole sauce when he, Brian Westbrook, and Ray Didinger watched film of Bryce Brown's Monday night performance against the Panthers. In an article written by the great Ray Didinger for CSN Philly, Baldinger compared Brown to Bo freaking Jackson:
Baldinger, who controls the remote during the weekly tape review at NFL Films in Mt. Laurel, N.J., ran the play back and forth several times. Each time he marveled at Brown's acceleration as he left the Panthers' secondary in the dust.
"That's Bo Jackson-like," the NFL Network analyst said.
Say what?
"I'm not putting him in that class, not after one [NFL] start," Baldinger said. "I'm just saying that kind of speed is rare. Not many running backs can do this."
OK, so what you have here from Baldinger is the classic "He's like (fill in the player that is a major stretch for a comparison)," then back off it a bit, but reiterate that you really mean to make the comparison. It's like saying, "Nick Foles is kind of like a combination of Superman and Spiderman. Now I'm not saying he's in the same class as Superman/Spiderman in that he can't swing from skyscraper to skyscraper using webs he shoots from his wrists, nor can he shoot lasers out of his eyes, but he has two arms and two legs, which can also be said of Superman and Spiderman."
Brown had an awesome starting debut (as a runner, not as a non-fumbler), but in no way, shape, or form is he anything close to what Bo Jackson was in the 80's when Bo was doing stuff like this (take note of Bo's power on the run at the 0:35 mark, and his ridiculous speed on the run at the 1:35 mark)…
Not to mention… this:
I know that Baldinger backpedaled a tad by saying "I'm not putting him in (the same class as Bo Jackson)", but I'd prefer if we just didn't even mention Bryce Brown and Bo Jackson in the same sentence, please. For now at least, anyway. Can we let the kid get a few games under his belt before setting up the fan base for a colossal disappointment?
Baldinger, of course, had Jamar Chaney in the Hall of Fame after one start a couple years ago, and said that Dimitri Patterson and Asante Samuel were the best CB tandem in the NFL.
OK, so whatever, that's Baldinger being Baldinger. My disappointment here lies with Didinger. At least Baldinger, in this case, didn't print this nonsense. Didinger did, and did so as if Baldinger's comments were actually credible.
But here's the best part. In watching various Bo Jackson highlights just to make sure I wasn't crazy in remembering him as some kind of athletic marvel, I'm listening to a familiar voice saying the following:
"He was 6'1. He was 230 pounds, chiseled marble, incredible speed, breathtaking speed. There were clockings of him running the 40 yard dash in 4.12 seconds. You're talking about a once in a generation player."
Who was that voice? None other than the great Ray Diddy (first 18 seconds of the video):
The second Baldinger got one syllable deep in mentioning Bo Jackson's name, Diddy should have immediately slapped some sense into him, a la Billy Crystal and Robert DeNiro:
Instead, he went, "Meh, screw it. I'll just print it instead."

Flows from Ririe Reservoir to Increase
Media Contact: John Redding, (208) 378-5212
Mike Beus, (208) 678-0461 ext. 27
For Release: February 07, 2013
BURLEY, Idaho - The Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and Mitigation Inc., will increase flows at the Ririe Outlet Channel below Ririe Dam to test the reliability of the downstream channel to pass winter flows. The increased flows will start around 3 p.m. on Feb. 10. The dam is located on Willow Creek about 4 miles south of Ririe, Idaho.
The purpose of the test is to determine if water can be released safely in the winter which will allow additional water to be held for irrigation in the fall without adversely affecting flood protection.
"We will be watching the weather and forecasts closely and monitoring the flow of water," Water Operations Manager Mike Beus said. "We are prepared to curtail the test if temperatures become cold enough to cause ice jams to form."
Flows of 150 cubic-feet-per-second (cfs) will be released into the channel and then, depending on weather conditions, increased in stages over three to seven days until it reaches about 500 cfs.
Crews and equipment will be standing by to remove ice jams should they develop.
Water managers are advising people to exercise caution while work crews operate heavy machinery and to stay away from the waterway.
Ririe Dam, completed in 1977 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is owned and operated by Reclamation. The reservoir has a total capacity of 100,500 acre-feet including 80,500 acre-feet for irrigation, flood control, and recreation, and 10,000 acre-feet reserved exclusively for flood control.
Local residents with questions about the reservoir operation may contact Mike Beus at (208) 678-0461, ext. 27 or Jerry Cheek, Operations & Maintenance Technical Services Manager at (208) 678-0461 ext 20.

Do you rely on enteral tube feedings for nutrition support? Do you want to start using real food instead of canned enteral feedings? Drink Your Meals is a unique website designed to help you create your own enteral tube feeding from fresh unprocessed foods.
With the right tools, just about anyone on enteral nutrition should be able to use the Drink Your Meals website to create liquid meals you can "eat" through your enteral feeding tube. Tubefeeders with medical conditions that require special enteral nutrition formulas should not use Drink Your Meals unless under the supervision of a physician or dietitian.
In addition to providing meals from unprocessed fresh ingredients, the enteral feeding recipes at Drink Your Meals are also Zone balanced. A Zone balanced recipe provides 30 percent of calories from fat, 30 percent of calories from protein and 40 percent of calories from carbohydrate. Eating Zone balanced liquid diet meals can help control blood sugar and hunger.
When using the liquid diet recipes as your source of enteral nutrition, it is still important to follow enteral nutrition guidelines. Basic enteral nutrition guidelines include washing hands before administering the enteral feeding, not letting the enteral feeding sit out at room temperature for more than two hours and discarding leftover enteral feedings after 24 hours. It is also important to flush your enteral feeding tube before and after the liquid diet meal with water to keep your tube clean and clog free.
The Drink Your Meals liquid diet is not meant as an alternative to parenteral feeding.

Antec EarthWatts EA-380 rev. A1 (380W)
The name of this PSU series suggests that it is environment-friendly. In other words, these PSUs boast high efficiency to save energy straightforwardly and have active PFC to save it indirectly. I took this PSU out of an Antec NSK3480 system case. Its real manufacturer is Seasonic.
The PSU has an ordinary gray steel housing and one 80mm fan. It has the standard dimensions and mounting holes of an ATX power supply. Nothing shows that it is shipped with a specific system case.
The internal design resembles FSP Group's GLN and HLN series units you may be familiar with by our reviews. The power elements are distributed on three, not two, separate heatsinks. The heatsinks are made from thin aluminum and have but small ribbing. High-efficiency PSUs don't need huge heatsinks as FSP Group's PSUs have proved already.
As you can expect from Seasonic, the quality of assembly is immaculate. The circuit design is quite modern: active PFC and joint voltage regulation.
The PSU is cooled with an Adda AD0812HS-A70GL fan (80x80x25mm, 3010rpm). I mention the rated speed of the fan but its actual speed in the PSU varies depending on the temperature as you'll see below.
The PSU has two "virtual" +12V output lines it can yield a total of 324W (27A) across it. It is equipped with the following cables and connectors:
- Mainboard cable with a 20+4-pin connector (34cm)
- CPU cable with a 4-pin connector (33cm)
- Graphics card cable with a 6-pin connector (45cm)
- One cable with three Molex connectors and one floppy-drive plug (43+13+13+13cm)
- One cable with three Molex connectors (32+12+12cm)
- Two cables with two SATA power plugs on each (12+49cm. That's not a misprint. There is indeed only 12 centimeters from the PSU case to the first connector – it is meant for the optical drive or the HDD installed nearby)
The wires are tied up with nylon straps into braids. Wires from different braids are entangled near the PSU. You shouldn't be surprised at the cable length and the non-standard positions of some connectors. This PSU comes with the Antec NSK3480 system case and is optimized for it, which is good. A standard PSU with a standard selection of cables may provoke some problems if you are assembling a system in such a small space.

Strengthening its technology collaboration with Intel Corporation, N-able Technologies, a supplier of remote monitoring and management software and specialized business support services for managed service providers, announced the immediate interoperability and future integration of its award-winning N-central managed services software with the new Intel Centrino 2 with vPro technology. In addition, N-able and Intel are pleased to announce more comprehensive integration of N-central and Intel vPro technology for desktops.
According to Gavin Garbutt, president & CEO of N-able Technologies, the ongoing collaboration between the two companies combined with Intel's recent introduction of Centrino 2 with vPro technology signals the longstanding impact managed services and mobility are having on the IT industry as a whole.
"Mobile computing is the future of IT, and Intel's vPro technology embeds remote management at the core of the IT industry," says Garbutt. "When Intel vPro technology is combined with N-central, service providers gain the ability to remotely monitor and manage desktops and notebooks regardless of location, power state or how they are connected to the network. It's this type of innovation and value proposition that MSPs and service providers will use to differentiate themselves and extend their services capabilities beyond the basics."
Joe Ambrosole, owner of VISN, a successful MSP located in Staten Island, New York, agrees. He says "the efficiencies and value gained by using N-central and vPro together have really proved invaluable to us. Prior to working with N-able and Intel, if we encountered a situation where a computer was turned off or was inoperable for any reason, we couldn't work on it remotely and would have to send out a technician. Now, we can manage our clients' notebooks and desktops remotely, regardless of their power state - which not only saves us time and money, but it increases our customer service levels dramatically."
"Intel's Centrino 2 with vPro technology is setting a new standard of excellence for mobile computing by offering service providers with the next level of mobile security and manageability," says Erik Reid, director of mobile platforms marketing at Intel. "The interoperability and integration between N-central and Intel's Centrino 2 with vPro technology brings forward significant advancements in remote monitoring and management, and collaboratively make it easier and more cost-effective for our customers to service end users remotely."
A new version of N-central that is integrated with Intel Centrino 2 with vPro technology will be released in early Q4 2008. The two products are interoperable today and may be purchased separately.

Living in the digital age, computers and all kinds of mobile devices have become such a natural part of daily life, most people do not think about whether to use them, but only how they could be made even more intuitive and comfortable. That is also true for all touchscreen devices, says Mike Gay, Head of Wacom Consumer Business: "There are a lot of navigation functions that feel much easier using a pen instead of your fingers - let alone writing or drawing."

Bill is being introduced to close loopholes in employment visa laws, which some claim are taking jobs away from U.S. workers.WASHINGTONIn the boom times of the late 1990s, U.S. corporations widely turned to foreign workers to fill highly skilled jobs, particularly in the technology field. Now, in the continuing economic downturn, foreign workers are being blamed for displacing their homegrown counterparts. Wednesday, Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., will introduce a bill crafted to close loopholes in employment visa laws, which he says allow companies to hire foreign employees and outsource them to other companies. "We must make sure that our immigration policies dont have a backlash effect on displacing American workers," Chambliss said Tuesday. "[The bill] will end the practice of companies who are displacing American workers."
The Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday took a look at the role of temporary work visas in the current economy. The technology industrys use of H-1B visas dropped approximately 75 percent last year, with initial H-1B visa applications falling to 26,659 in 2002 from 105,692 in 2001, according to the Department of Homeland Security Office of Immigration Security.
