Reviews of this property
This is realy heaven in France. Perfect place, perfect "landlord(lady)" and completely equiped, surrounded by so many beautiful, breathtaking places to visit. Feel home and we hope to come home, more often, from now on....Thanks, Valerie
It was such a lovely place to stay. We totally enjoyed the couple days we have been in the house with terrace. We feel warmly welcome and we got a lot of support and help during our stay. If we visit this area again in the future we would like to go back to this place.
Thank you very much.
Valerie, hat uns sehr freundlich aufgenommen obwohl die Verständigung unsererseits schwierig war da wir kein französisch sprechen. Es hat dan doch alles unkompliziert geklappt. Das kleine Häuschen ist richtig süß. Es hat alle Annehmlichkeiten, sogar einen Geschirrspüler. Auch Gartenmöbel und Liegen sind vorhanden. Die Lage ist etwas versteckt, dafür aber total ruhig mit viel Natur darum.
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Für das erste Frühstück hatte Valerie auch schon etwas in den Kühlschrank gelegt. Also alles Bestens.

John,Your pies look amazing baked in your 2Stone. Great job!Norma
thanks for the reply john. i'm going to try a cooling rack over a bowl today to see if i get your cheese cut.
What is Camaldoli?
John,I'm in possession of a 2Stone now and will give an NP dough another try. What is Camaldoli?
When you order from sourdo.com you get two cultures: Ischia and Camaldoli. I screwed the pooch on the Ischia and had to throw it away. I'm satisfied with the Camaldoli, so I just keep using it. But I'm going to move over to mmmph's Fear starter soon.John K
Hey if any of you feel like sharing some of mmmmphs, I'd love to try it. I'd be happy to send you some of mine.
Thanks for the offer of the Camaldoli. mmmph is very generous with Fear. I'm sure if you PM him he will get you some!John K

A THESIS Presented to the Department of English and the Clark Honors College of the University of Oregon in partial fulfillment of the requirements for degree of Bachelor of Arts, Spring 2008. Through the centuries, critics have struggled with the poetry of Andrew Marvell, using diverse frameworks to examine his work. In this thesis, three poems – "Upon the Death of the Lord Hastings," "Mourning," and "The Nymph Complaining for the Death of Her Fawn" – will be read as elegies in order to examine how Andrew Marvell treats the intersection of language and grief in the elegiac form. Traditionally, the elegy is meant first to praise and lament the deceased, and then to console the survivors. However, Marvell actually undermines the supposed power of the elegy to move the mourner beyond her grief. In the elegy for Hastings, the power of grief is such that it affects the immortality of poetic art; in "Mourning," both readers and poetic interpreters fail to find any significance in Clora's tears; and finally, in the "Nymph Complaining," Marvell links grief to poetry in an intricate, complex fashion, yet ultimately subordinates the survival of the living to the power of the dead. All told, Marvell exposes the elegy as a failed form, revealing that it does not (and indeed cannot) satisfactorily achieve its traditional goal of consoling the bereaved. 179712 bytes application/msword en_US Elegy Mourning Language Andrew Marvell Grief in literature Form Poetry English poetry -- Early modern, 1500-1700 -- History and criticism Marvell, Andrew, 1621-1678 Elegiac poetry "I shall weep though I be stone": Grief and Language in Andrew Marvell Thesis

College Goal Sunday on January 13 Will Provide Free Help to KY Students Filing for Financial Aid
College Goal Sunday, which provides free help to families applying for college financial aid, will take place at 2 p.m., Sunday, January 13, at 17 sites across the state. For south central Kentucky, the program will take place on the campus of Somerset Community College in the Meece Auditorium, located in Meece Hall, 808 Monticello Street.
The program begins promptly at 2 p.m., and most sites close at 4 p.m. All attendees will be eligible to enter into a drawing for a chance to win a scholarship that can be used at any Kentucky school.
At College Goal Sunday, financial aid professionals from Kentucky will help students and families complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is the form students must submit to receive federal and state student aid.
College Goal Sunday is sponsored by the Kentucky Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (KASFAA). It is funded by the Lumina Foundation for Education, the YMCA and
"This is a premier event that provides Kentuckians with both informational and financial resources to reach their postsecondary educational goals," said KASFAA President Chris Tolson. "With the assistance of the financial aid experts at College Goal Sunday students can submit the FAFSA in timely manner, enabling them to qualify for thousands of dollars in financial aid, including a variety of grants and loans."
Demand continues to rise
According to the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA), participation in state aid programs has more than quadrupled since the 1990s. In the 2011-2012 academic year, KHEAA disbursed $197.6 million in higher education grants and scholarships to nearly 96,800 students. Students who file the FAFSA before early February have the best chance of receiving these funds.
What to bring
Students are encouraged to attend College Goal Sunday with a parent or guardian. They should bring their and their parents' completed 2012 IRS 1040 tax returns and any other 2012 income and benefit information. If families have not completed their taxes, we encourage families to bring their 2011 IRS 1040 tax forms and last paycheck stubs from 2012 so that financial aid professionals will be able to show families how to use estimated information to submit the FAFSA and how to go back and update their information once taxes are completed. Everything else—pens, pencils and FAFSA worksheets—will be provided. For more information about College Goal Sunday, call toll-free, 1-888-4-KASFAA (1-888-452-7322).

This group does not have any discussions yet.
Hi all. My name is Tammy and I am a adoptee (40 years ago) and an adoptive mom of 2 boys. So excited to find this group :)
Tammy :)
Hi! I'm new to the group and an adoptive mom! I look forward to getting to know you all!
I'm new here! This page on my blog tells (briefly!) my youngest daughter's adoption story: http://grtlyblesd.blogspot.com/p/hannah.html
Drop by my blog and read about my adventures in potty training...
Hi, this is Katie from Saving and Sharing It. My life is an adoption circle starting with my own, to finding my birth mother, then birth father. Then the next circle was adopting my daughter domestically 17 years ago and our son from Guatemala 6 years ago. Finding out that he had an older brother who was also adopted. Searching for his adoptive family, finding them in Philadephia (only 2 hrs away) loving the fact that they were looking for other siblings also and helping the two boy get to know each other. This whole journey has been a wonderful experience. I don't blog about it (maybe I should) but I would still love to be part of this group. I lived on both sides of the fence. Being the adopted child and being the adoptive mother. I wouldn't change a thing. Sharla I am going to check out your magazine!
Posted today about a challenge to a law in Michigan regarding who can adopt. I went a little crazy... http://modernmommymagic.blogspot.com/2012/01/adoption-law-being-cha...
Your e-book sounds wonderful...on my way to check out the website right now!
I just launched my new eBook "Shield: A Framework of Self-Care for Foster and
Adoptive Families". My hope is that it will provide help and encouragement to
those in all stages of adoption. For more information, please visit
Thank you so much for your support!
We have a daughter that we adopted from China last year.
Julie Marie Ross - I would like to send you a private message some time, I looked at your blog and would like to ask you some questions.
Hi Alicia. My husband and I are adoptive parents. We adopted both of our girls from the state (Child Protective Services in Texas). We've had them since they were 3 days old each and they are now 5. They are 3 months apart in age, not related and look like twins. A real miracle!

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The chief of the world's chemical weapons watchdog says the organization has to visit more than 20 sites in Syria as part of the unprecedented international mission to destroy the country's poison gas arsenal, including some where it may be necessary to negotiate cease-fires before they can gain access.
In his first public remarks about the mission, Director-General of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons Ahmet Uzumcu said Wednesday inspectors have so far visited one site and are about to visit a second.
The joint United Nations-OPCW mission entered Syria last week and has already overseen the first stages of destruction of Syria's chemical arsenal. A second team is being sent to Syria to bolster the mission.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Morgan Arritola and Her Freewheeling Training Plan - Page 2
Photo by Mike Schirf
Which came first–skiing or running?
I was actually a soccer player first. I was born in Oregon and grew up playing soccer until we moved to Idaho. We moved to a place where there was a cross-country ski team, and I'd never done that before. But I ended up on the team.
Since then, skiing has been your main sport. What have been some highlights in your skiing career?
I was a three-time junior national champion. I was on the U.S. Ski Team for five years and went to a bunch of world championship events and the 2010 Olympics. In Vancouver I raced in three distance events and a relay, but I didn't ski well. Obviously you want to go to the Olympics and ski your best races, but that's not a reality for everyone.
How have you transitioned into trail running?
Well, I've always run, but only recently started doing races the last few years. I prefer trails.
How have you fit running in with your ski training?
Running is not only a good replacement, it's effective training for skiing. You're putting on a bib and running hard. We always do running intervals for ski training, and some cross-country skiers are not as inclined to run. Some people get injured more easily.

HTTP Dynamic Streaming enables high-quality (H.264 or VP6), network-efficient HTTP streaming for media delivery that is tightly integrated with Adobe® Access software for robust content protection in the Adobe Flash® Player 10.1 or later and Adobe AIR® 2 or later runtimes. This open format solution allows online publishers to leverage existing network and cache infrastructures to efficiently deliver media content to the Adobe Flash Platform. Adobe Media Server software will continue to be a great option for streaming, multiway communication, as well as advanced interactive experiences such as quick start times and quick seeking. Like Adobe Media Server, HTTP Dynamic Streaming supports quality of service (QoS) monitoring, adaptive bitrate streaming, and DVR functionality. The HTTP Dynamic Streaming workflow includes content preparation tools, fragmented MP4 files that are HTTP cache‐friendly, a playback framework (Open Source Media Framework, or OSMF), and options for protected streaming powered by Adobe Access, continuing to make the Flash Platform the choice for reliable delivery of protected, high-quality playback experiences.
HTTP Dynamic Streaming utilizes the same HTTP server technology used to delivery progressive downloaded video. The new technology is different because it adds:
To deliver a streaming experience over HTTP, media assets need to go through a fragmentation process that can also apply content protection (called fragmenting), and a special module installed in the HTTP server is required. The player can be built using OSMF, just like progressive download.
HTTP Dynamic Streaming builds on the success of streaming delivery through Adobe Media Server. This new technology matches the quality of service, rendering quality, buffer controls, and other important aspects of media delivery required to deliver a great experience to the end user. Adobe Media Server provides a high-performance, turnkey delivery server that can protect and deliver any content with a very simple publishing workflow, with support for multibitrate delivery. HTTP allows the publisher and delivery network to customize and optimize the publishing workflow to maximize capacity and reach, using standard network and caching infrastructures.
HTTP Dynamic Streaming requires Flash Player 10.1 or later or Adobe AIR 2 or later. For fastest deployment, Adobe recommends using OSMF, which is currently supported on Flash Player 10.1 (future support for AIR is planned).
No — unless they're in a location outside the reach of Adobe Media Server, or behind a firewall that doesn't allow RTMP delivery, then they should receive a significantly improved experience. Multibitrate switching will respond just as it does with Dynamic Streaming on Adobe Media Server triggered by expected frame rate and/or bandwidth changes (good or bad).
If developers use OSMF today to develop their media players, then there should be limited impact; however, if developers are creating media players without OSMF, there will be a significant impact — as most of the stream logic occurs in ActionScript® at the client. Adobe recommends all developers consider OSMF for developing media players.
Existing Adobe Media Server/RTMP workflows are fully supported. For content protection, an Adobe Access license will be required to encrypt the live streams. Customers can use third-party live encoders to prepare for HTTP delivery, or contact Adobe for additional options.
A new file format is required (F4F). This new file format is based on the standards-based MP4 fragment format. Reencoding is required only for adaptive bit rate experiences where keyframes are not aligned. Recorded content delivered with HTTP Dynamic Streaming will need to go through a new packaging and protection process.
HTTP Dynamic Streaming is designed for online publishers that deliver to large audiences requiring high capacity and scalability to meet traffic peaks or those customers with high-quality video leveraging the benefits and reach of the Adobe Flash Platform.
HTTP Dynamic Streaming expands the capacity available to media publishers because content delivery networks (CDNs) can leverage more of their network to bring the content closer to the end user, which will help reduce disruptions due to network performance. HTTP delivery also enables content to be cached outside the CDN, helping to reduce delivery costs.
Adobe provides a full-featured HTTP delivery solution with the greatest reach of any media delivery platform.
The best way to implement HTTP Dynamic Streaming within a media player is to use OSMF. OSMF has made it simple to provide a seamless user experience, including parsing manifest files, handling URL requests, integrating Adobe Access protection, utilizing multibitrate delivery, implementing DVR, monitoring quality of service (QoS) metrics, and so on. OSMF has been developed by Adobe and leading experts in the community.
The VOD File Packager will be available as a free download. You can download the tools. The Live Packager will be available for purchase — find out more.
Media playback is started by requesting and parsing a manifest file (F4M). The manifest file contains four main parts:
OSMF will use the information from the manifest file to generate the URLs and begin filling a buffer using new APIs inside Flash Player 10.1. OSMF will also fetch any required DRM keys and use them for playback, also using new APIs in Flash Player 10.1.
During playback, OSMF is responsible for managing fragment requests, monitoring QoS, and switching bitrates if needed.
HTTP streaming can be achieved using standard Apache server software and caching infrastructures. To make this easy to implement, Adobe provides an HTTP module for 32-bit Apache web server (Windows® or Linux®) that can be used for HTTP Dynamic Streaming.
Yes, you can deliver video up to 1080p to the Adobe Flash Platform. HD video can be delivered with bitrates from 700kbps up to and beyond 6Mbps. Like other Flash Player supported delivery methods, HTTP Dynamic Streaming supports H.264 video and VP6 codecs required for the highest quality video on the platform.

I was at a meeting last week where we had a troop of Brownies visit to sell us Girl Scout cookies. They brought paper carnations they had made in green. Each one went up to those in the room, individually, talked to the person, took their order and returned with money in hand to have the order filled.
It was a wonderful thing. The girls were excited about being there, and all the folks in the room were excited to have them there. The girls were talking to strangers without fear, having a decent exchange of information. I saw girls counting money and making change with their leader. There was a lot of learning going on in those conversations. There also were cases of cookies sold at this encounter, but, more than that, I watched girls learning self confidence. It takes courage if you are a Brownie to talk to someone you don't know, and by doing so, they are investing in their own education.
I've heard some fun stories about the walkabouts through neighborhoods. I've also heard stories about people's vicious dogs, not so pleasant responses and how ugly people can sometimes be. But if you ask, have they learned anything, Daisy through Ambassador, I'm sure the response will be the same -- yes, they have learned. They know more about themselves, they know more about how to set goals and achieve them, and they are more in tune with what is possible.
So, when you trip over that case of cookies in your house and think you cannot stand to see another one, just remember, those cookies have the power to change the world. GSUSA estimates that the cookie program generates $700,000,000 across the US annually. Think what girls can do with that!

Mesoraco reachees on an infield hit and goes to 2nd as he takes down the first basemen after a bad throw
Wow, who got the worse end of that one.
Slick move Hatcher.

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
That was a crazy fun series of events.
Attended 1976 World Series in my Mother's Womb. Attended 1990 World Series Game 2 as a 13 year old. Want to take my son to a a World Series Game in Cincinnati in my lifetime.
Reds need to get the bats going....with a win tonight, Reds would be only 1/2 game behind
STL and only 2.5 games behind PIT. Can't waste these opportunities.
Reds led the world in catchers dropping those back in the LaRue days and a few other guys. Nice to be on that end of it.

Car thefts rise during summer, Progressive says
The Columbus Dispatch - August 21, 2013 10:43 AM
You might want to double check to make sure your car doors are locked when you leave your car this summer.
Progressive Insurance data from 2012 finds that there was a 15 percent increase in stolen cars insured by Progressive in July and August compared with the rest of the year. The study also found cars were most likely to be stolen during weekends.
On average, a stolen car was recovered 46 percent of the time, according to Progressive.
The best way to keep your car and the stuff inside from being stolen? Car alarms can help deter thieves along with removing the things from your car that may be attractive to thieves, like iPods and GPS devices, Progressive says. And, of course, be sure to lock your car, even if it will be unattended for only a minute.

After arguing about the academic value of the slopes, members decide mittens are in order.
By TOM MARSHALL
Published December 19, 2006
BROOKSVILLE - It seemed like a minor item on the Hernando County School Board's 11-page agenda: approval of a high school field trip.
But this particular excursion - the Nature Coast Technical High School Ski Club's second annual venture to Breckenridge, Colo., for six days of winter fun starting the day after winter vacation ends - had already prompted angry calls to board members from residents.
So how educational would the ski trip be?
Just about every board member, as well as principal Margaret "Tizzy" Schoelles, had an opinion at Tuesday's board meeting.
Dianne Bonfield: "I find this to be basically a vacation. I can't see the academic rationale in this."
Schoelles: "We do have all kinds of educational activities. It's kind of interesting to see how long it takes to boil ramen noodles."
Jim Malcolm: "I think you can make all the rationales you want about it being an educational experience. But I don't think so."
John Sweeney: "I can see the value of the learning experience. I can definitely see the academic value, though it's hard to explain."
None of the board members appeared happy to have been approached for approval after the students had already raised funds and purchased airline tickets for the trip. No school funds are being used, officials said.
"If the kids want to go somewhere, they have an airline ticket," said Sandra Nicholson, arguing for the educational value of canceling the trip. "It's a lesson in economics."
Board attorney J. Paul Carland said the district could face liability for negligent supervision if something went wrong and might have to defend itself in a Colorado courtroom.
But in the end, the board approved the excursion by a 3-2 vote, with Bonfield and Nicholson in opposition.
"I'm sure it won't happen again," said Chairman Pat Fagan.

Not much else to add, other than they are great in bread, and that I didn't see any bits of peel in the bag (a good bonus as those frequently happen with shelled seeds).

Taking inventory in Forestville
FORESTVILLE – The Forestville Dissolution Study Committee met Wednesday to review the village's assets and debts.
Legislator Rod Rogers explained the name of the committee is misleading because at this point the committee has only been tasked with determining the village's assets and debts.
He said it would be up to the village board if it would like the committee to go to the next step and look at services.
He also pointed out that this study does not have to go as far as dissolving the village, and could be just shared services, but he believes in getting all the facts and getting them out to the public so that decisions can be made based on facts.
Clerk Jim White presented the committee members with a copy of the village's land and building assets. He said the machinery assets list was not complete and the fire department had not given a list of its assets at the time of the meeting.
The committee had questions about a piece of property that was traded for the springs property, the assessment on the three parcels making up the fire hall and municipal barns, and the assessment on the municipal barn building.
White suggested one thing for the village to consider would be to sell the timber on the springs property and possibly the property itself. He explained the village has gotten $120,000 in timber sales from the property in the past 12 years and the taxes on the land in Arkwright have been $5,000 per year. He said the village must pay insurance on the property and once the springs are decommissioned it may become a liability since it is outside the village and will not be regularly checked.
Committee Member Chum Bowker was vehemently opposed to the idea of selling the property, arguing that the timber will pay for the property and more.
"It is a great asset. We are not going to get rid of it or sell it," he said.
Bowker added that he believes once the springs are decommissioned, the assessment on the property should drop and therefore the taxes on it will be less.
White said it is a question of which is greater; the value of the timber or the liability to keep the property once it is vacant.
He also said the property is owned by the water fund, which is facing significant debt in the water project and that selling the timber or the land could offset the shortfalls. However, this is something for the village board and the people to decide. White added that he would check to see if the assessment would change once the springs are decommissioned in March.
Next, the committee discussed the debts of the village, which if dissolved, the residents would be responsible to pay back, regardless of dissolution.
White said in addition to the $3.7 million loan for the water project, the village also owes $250,000 for demolition of a building on Main Street, $150,000 for the waterline on Bennett State Road and a few USDA loans on vehicles.
White said the 2009 demolition is listed as an anticipated revenue, but is stuck in court in a lawsuit. He said if the village loses the lawsuit it could face bearing the cost of the $250,000 and may have to pay it off in five years instead of 30 because of the type of loan it is.
Also, White said a water district must be formed on Bennett State Road in order for the village to be able to charge the residents for the $150,000 in work that was done for those out-of-village customers. He said financial consultants at Municipal Solutions said the district must be formed by November for it to be billed with this water project.
Committee Member and Hanover Town Councilman Kevin O'Connell said it is the position of the town that it would like to have all the information on the costs of the projects before it forms any water districts residents may not want if the price is too high.
The committee decided to meet again on Oct. 2 at 1 p.m. in the village hall to review answers to questions and the other asset reports not available.

I have not been back to Italy in about six years and have been feeling a bit nostalgic so I decided to give Pizzaneopalitana's Pizza in taglia a try.From the looks of his pics my dough was considerably more wet. It was almost batter.I used 85% caputo Blue and 15% semolina.Made the polish and let it rest in the fridge 18hrs.I let the dough rise for about 6 -7 hrs at room temp.It was baked in convection at 500 degrees.I think it came good but not great. I was hoping for imput on what could be done to make it better.I feel the pizza came out a bit to chewy and the top crust a little thick not thin and crispy.Thanks.PS this site is amazing.
Here is an example by a friend of mine of what you should aim for when producing "pizza in teglia" or Sicilian as you would like to call it
PIGMON, "pizza in teglia" just means pizza cooked in a pan. "Sicilian pizza" is a type of pizza in teglia, and being one of the most appreciated, together with the Roman style, people usually refer to it generally as pizza in teglia.
I always thought it meant "pizza by the yard": a huge pan-cooked pizza that is cut and sold by whatever measurement they use "over there".
That is 'pizza al metro' - pizza by the metre. I believe that 'pizza al taglia' is pizza by the slice.
Pizza in TEGLIA: Pizza in a square panPizza al Metro: Pizza by the meterPizza al Taglio: Pizza by the cut or so call slice... It is basically the way pizza in teglia is sold, as you tell the vendor, by pointing, how much to cut, the cut/slice is then weighted and depending on the topping, it will have a different price by weight.
No, these are baked in a professional elettric oven.I gave the recipe in the previous sicilian thread: the differences are in the 1.3kg flour (85% Caputo Red and 15% Semolina) per liter of water, and also that the dough doesn't go in the refrigerator but it is left in a cellar at about 18 degree celsius.The poolish, oil and the rest is the same.Ciao

It's Spring on Wall Street, But Winter May Be Near for Amazon
This broken record plays ad nauseum, and each quarter shareholders buy into the greater fool theory because, after all, the price only increases so it must continue to rise.
Other companies don't get a free pass earnings season after earnings season.
Remember when Apple
Apple shares sold off to the level that I didn't believe earnings would have a significant impact. You can read about my thoughts and bullish bias on Apple in the article "Should Apple Investors Even Care About Earnings?"
Contrary to the rest of the relatively sane investment universe, in the previous report before Thursday, Amazon posted a loss, without a clear path to profitability and investors raced each other to buy more stock. Amazon is the perfect example of why I often say a company's value is based on its income statement and balance sheet while a stock is valued from emotion.
After Amazon reported earnings on Thursday, the stock again appeared to enter the Twilight Zone. Starting from a close near $275, the shares hesitated and even weakened momentarily before bursting higher. The speed of the share price moving higher could make the Bellagio fountains envious.
And why shouldn't Amazon's shares move higher? After all, every investor knows the shares always increase after earnings (eyes rolling). Besides, trailing 12-month operating cash flow increased 39%, revenue grew 22%, media revenue up 7%, and electronics and general merchandise (EGM) revenue increased 28%. At first glance, the Seattle, Wash., online book peddler is crushing many notable metrics.
It's only after you dig deeper that you locate the cracks in the armor.
Unlike operating cash flow, the more closely observed free cash flow decreased a stomach-turning 85%. You practically need a micron microscope to find the 1% return on invested capital. Similarly, Amazon's previously pathetic 28 cents of net income fell to 18 cents -- not much of a beat when viewed in that light.

The 1900 Dime is a very common coin that can be found with ease in all grades up to and including MS64. In MS65 and better grades, the population dips way down, but even those grades appear on the market frequently. In MS67, this date becomes extremely rare. The best example is a single PCGS MS67+ in the Lilly Nicole Collection.
The PCGS CoinFacts Condition Census for this date contains a minimum of MS65 and better coins, indicating the great conditions in which the 1900 Dimes have survived. The reader will note that virtually all of the top-end examples sport colorful toning and superb eye appeal.

The color is styled to coincide with the change in tightness, dark blonde at the top fading to a lighter blonde as the braid is tied well past the shoulders. Hair density results in the braid casually starting to unravel about shoulder-length, channeling carefree stylishness.

I urge you to go into the Palestinian cities and towns to report on the status of Jews living there.

I was very upset to learn about the building of this wall
I was very upset to learn about the building of this wall in Lod, so I decided to do some research to understand more about it. What I found was that there was a much more complex story behind the building of the wall. Your posting puts the most evil face possible the behavior of Israeli's on a complex situation in which there are caring people on both sides of the issue. This article in the Jerusalem Post explains the complexity that you decided to leave out in order to "spin" the story. So sad that I can't trust APM to provide balanced information! http://www.jpost.com/Features/...

@Dafka - Thank you for your comment and research on this
@Dafka - Thank you for your comment and research on this story. It is great that people are interested enough in these issues to do further research. If wish there were more people like you.
However, the article that you cited from the J-Post is from 2007, and although the court declared the wall illegal, the wall still remains in 2011 and effects the Arab community of Lod. The article does cite crime as an issue, and provides links to three well balanced sources - The Economist, NPR (National Public Radio) and the J-Post. These links were given for further reading. As someone who has been to Lod, it is a very tragic story there and it is necessary to report the voices of disenfranchised people, as they are not often given a platform. Yes, there are great Israelis who obviously do not support the wall. But, this story is about how the people living on the other side of the wall feel, how it effects their lives, and how the Israeli government (not the Israeli people) have handled it.

@Dafka -We cannot ignore the fact that this is a wall...a
@Dafka -We cannot ignore the fact that this is a wall...a wall...that is separating human beings from one another. When is that ever okay? There is no spin here. All governments need to be critiqued. This is not about the Israeli people doing something wrong. It is about the government's decision.
And you do realize that the Arabs that live in Lod...are Israelis also. They are either Israeli citizens or permanent residents of Israel. So speaking on behalf of the Arabs living in Lod or anywhere in Israel for that matter, is still speaking on behalf of Israelis. :-)

On this day, seven years ago, a young life was snuffed out in its prime; a rare and exceedingly beautiful bud, torn from the stem before it could truly blossom.
The victim was Inge Lotz; she was just 22 years old.
A Magnum cum Laude Honours Graduate in the fiercely competitive field of Actuarial Science, Inge was also a virtuoso pianist blessed with a sublime voice that would fill her church to the brim whenever she was invited to perform there.
Her brilliance, her spirit of independence, her indomitable appetite for hard work is almost certainly what got her killed. In the male-dominated, insular Afrikaner world in which she dwelled, Inge was simply too bright a star.
There is no doubt in my mind that she was murdered by someone she knew; a friend, someone she trusted, maybe even loved, and that person was a fellow student from the local University campus in Stellenbosch.
She died at home, in a brand new apartment in which she had lived for less than a month, and on a couch she had bought just a few days before.
In a world already plagued by the most unimaginable excesses of inhuman depravity, there can be few things more shameful, more innately foul and un-Christian than for a grown man to strike a young girl.
But the loathsome coward who took Inge's life didn't just stop with beating her skull to a pulp, because in spite of her horrific injuries, Inge refused to die. She was still breathing.
So he took out a knife and set to work on her throat.
And when he was done, and she lay still and quite dead, he attacked her heart with such ferocity that he severed two ribs in the process.
Even those professionals who have not studied the crime scene and autopsy imagery will know that the manner in which she was killed; the extreme use of violent force, the rage, the overkill and the post-mortem mutilation, all point to a personal-cause homicide committed by a former or existing intimate; a male almost certainly of similar age
There was no evidence of a break-in, nothing was disturbed or discovered to have been stolen. There were no signs of a struggle, nothing to indicate an aggressive escalation of violence preceding the actual murder itself. There was no sexual assault or signs of any deviant pre or post-mortem activity. The killer coldly positioned the body, cleaned himself and, in parts, the crime-scene and the murder weapons before taking them with him.
He arrived and departed unseen and simply disappeared into thin air.
And so here we are, seven years later embroiled in recriminations over the disgracefully incompetent and arguably corrupt South African Police investigation into her murder.
I have attempted to defend them in the past by suggesting that their failures are perhaps more to do with where the Nation is now, in its post-apartheid renaissance, than with malicious intent.
But as the weeks have dragged into months and then to years, I have come to realise that I have been hopelessly naïve. The simple fact of the matter is that there are those in authority who have no wish, no wish whatsoever to crack this case.
My research has shown that there were more than sufficient indicators, not only at the crime scene, but elsewhere, for any experienced homicide detective worth his badge to have nailed the killer within a matter of days.
It is a tragic indictment on South Africa that childish turf-wars and absurd notions of racial and political correctness got it the way of a thorough and meticulous combing of the crime scene right down to a disciplined door-to-door enquiry of the surrounding neighbourhood.
It was elementary blunders like these, exacerbated by further catastrophic errors of judgement that were made in the early hours and days following the discovery of Inge's cruelly disfigured body, that was to define and subsequently frustrate this murder enquiry from the very outset.
And as the South African Keystone cops fought their petty internecine war, the trail of Inge's killer became ever colder by the day.
The motive for her murder was a perceived irreconcilable personal cause, most probably hatred. Quite what fuelled that hatred remains unclear; jealousy is always an option, as is fear. Fear of exposure perhaps. There were other dynamics at play of course, but it is not necessary to go into detail here save to mention that in the immediate aftermath of the killing other people, especially those within Inge's social group, quickly realised the identity of the man responsible.
That these people have remained silent for 7 years is quite remarkable in itself. And yet one must remember that they were mostly just students at the time; young, ambitious and on the threshold of promising careers, desperate to live up to the expectations of overbearing parents and frightened out of their collective wits that anything they may have said to the police might have been taken the wrong way.
Their communal silence betrayed Inge then as it still does today.
But time and a troubled conscience make uneasy bedfellows, especially as these young people slowly ascend the ladder of success, grow older, marry, settle down and have kids of their own.
Sooner or later there will come a point when these people can take no more. One day, when they can no longer bear to see their lying eyes staring back at them from the mirror each morning, they will step up and unburden their desperate souls, do the right thing and ultimately atone for the terrible secret they have kept hidden all these years
Meanwhile they should remember that today, as they have done on this day for the past seven years, Inge's desolate parents will light a candle for their murdered child. They are good, honest, hard-working, immensely compassionate people – the sort of folk that were never equipped with the survival skills to cope with such tragic loss.
Theirs is a lonely, dark, empty existence, punctuated only occasionally by the hope that one day, maybe, the torture will end.
Rest in Peace

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (July 24, 2008) – USA Volleyball is proud to announce an alliance with Dynamite Sports, who joins USAV as an Official Education and Sport Development partner.
Logan Tom, a two-time Olympian and current U.S. Women's National Team member, has joined Dynamite Sports to help promote and raise awareness of the program. Dynamite Sports' Web-based program, The Student-Athlete & College Recruiting, consists of three integrated Web sites that provide over 120 videos, Power Point presentations, charts and surveys. The program covers a wide array of educational topics including goal setting, recruiting visits, strength and agility programs, sportsmanship and academic eligibility. The company's online system will show families how to create their own "Blueprint for Success" to help their student-athletes achieve their ACADEMIC & ATHLETIC goals for college.
"USA Volleyball is pleased to partner with Dynamite Sports to promote the quality educational products offered with respect to college athletic recruiting," USA Volleyball Secretary General Kerry Klostermann said. "The success a person experiences in securing an athletic scholarship can only be enhanced by having a solid understanding of the process and necessary requirements."
"Dynamite Sports is truly excited about our new relationship with USA Volleyball," said Rick Wire, president of Dynamite Sports, Inc. "We look forward to providing much needed education and resources to club teams and their families regarding college athletics and the recruiting process."
With the purchase of the password protected program, volleyball club teams will be able to provide an "Educational Component" to their athletes and families they previously have not been able to offer. Each club will have its own access to the system, personalized with their club name and logo.
The Student-Athlete & College Recruiting is used by over 2,000 high schools across the United States and Canada.
Program cost per club is based on the number of members 13-and-older. Clubs with under 20 members - $149 per year, followed by $199 per year for clubs with 21-100 members and $249 per year for clubs with over 100 members.

"We need towels."
I turn to my husband as we poke through the linen closet.
"How is it we don't have towels? We have a cabinet full of sheets for a bed we no longer have and yet we have no towels?"
"We have the towels in the bathroom," he tells me.
"Yes, but those are the 'show' towels," I tell him as he pulls out a Mickey Mouse towel for my 25-year-old cousin who is staying with us for the night. "I know we registered for towels."
"We have the ones from Bloomingdales," he says. "I think we took off the ones from the other registry."
Ah yes, I remember. We were told the ones at Bloomingdales were better quality. So we took off the less expensive ones at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Yes. That was a smart move that really worked out.
Yes, the Bloomingdales ones are nice and soft, but we also didn't get very many. The two of us are used to our other towels, so of course, we're fine with saving the nice ones for our guests.
"How is it we didn't get more towels?" he asks.
"Because Nambe is prettier. So we have beautiful platters and vases that our guests can dry off with," I tell him.
I try looking on a higher shelf in case I missed one. No luck.
"Can a sheet be used as a towel?" I ask as I pull out white one covered in flowers that I'm sure hasn't been on a bed since the Bush the First years.
"I don't think so," he tells me.
I toss it back in.
"Well, at least we have all those coupons for 20% off at Bed, Bath and Beyond," I say as I give up and close the closet doors.
So the new towels are not the top-of-the-line, and might not be as nice as the ones from Bloomingdales. But they'll get the job done—at least better than a cake platter and a sheet will.

Here's a snip of what Kenman Wong and Scott Rae say in their recent book, Business for the Common Good:
Although periodically companies may take on certain employees as an act of benevolence, it is not the norm. Employees are bound by mutual obligations to the company, and when they do not live up to them, leaders are not being unjust or unfair in holding them accountable and firing them if necessary. Of course, servant leaders will work with employees at risk and attempt to redeem the relationship. But if the employee must be let go, the leader will give a truthful reason for termination, provide input to the employee so that a pattern does not repeat itself with the next employer, and treat the person with dignity and respect throughout the entire process.
You may not be doing someone a favor by keeping them on in a position that is not a good fit, or which does not challenge them appropriately or help them to develop themselves and maximize their own potentialities. As Wong and Rae continue, "Remember, people need to accomplish something significant and in a way that fits their gifts. Serving them best may involve letting them go so they can find a more suitable place to develop and contribute."
As for the propriety of prayer in these contexts, it seems obvious to me that the employer should be praying for the well-being of his employees, and vice versa, throughout this entire process and beyond. It would take the application of insight into a particular situation to determine whether a prayer with the employee at the time of termination would be appropriate or not, however, and the content of the prayer would need to reflect the dynamics of power that are apparent in the context of the termination of employment.

Tenet Healthcare May Benefit From Obamacare
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The bad news is President Obama won. The good news is Obama won. Today the big question is: With the election results final, how will you change the way you invest?My personal answer is I will invest the same way I did before. I will look for companies that analysts think will improve their revenue and earnings streams that can be bought for a reasonable price-to-earnings ratio.
Mitt Romney pledged that if he won he would start on day one to repeal Obamacare. Well, Obama won, so how can we benefit from Obamacare?
My pick here is Tenet Heathcare (THC) . In the past Tenet was hit with a lot of bad debt write-offs because it provided care to patients that were not covered by health insurance. If Obamacare kicks in, then just maybe the company may begin collecting for all the services it provides.
Some smart money in the market may feel the way I do because on Wednesday the volume of shares traded is soaring. During the past year, while the market as measured by the Value Line Index was up 10%, shares in Tenet were up 28%. During the last 30 days the stock is up more than 8%, and the hourly trading graph provided by Barchart.com shows solid price rebound:
Tenet Healthcare., an investor-owned health-care services company, owns and operates acute care hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, diagnostic imaging centers, and related health care facilities in the United States. The company's general hospitals offer acute care services, operating and recovery rooms, radiology services, respiratory therapy services, clinical laboratories, and pharmacies. It also provides intensive care, critical care and/or coronary care units, physical therapy; and orthopedic, oncology, and outpatient services; tertiary care services, such as open-heart surgery, neonatal intensive care, and neuroscience; quaternary care in areas, including heart, liver, kidney, and bone marrow transplants, as well as burn services; gamma-knife brain surgery; and cyberknife radiation therapy for tumors and lesions in the brain, lung, neck, and spine.
The company also owns an interest in a health maintenance organization and operate various related health care facilities, which include a long-term acute care hospital and various medical office buildings; revenue cycle management and patient communications services businesses; physician practices; captive insurance companies; management services business that provides network development, utilization management, claims processing, and contract negotiation services to physician organizations and hospitals that assume managed care risk; and occupational and rural health care clinics.
As of Dec. 31, it operated 50 hospitals, including four academic medical centers and one critical access hospital, with a combined total of 13,453 licensed beds primarily serving urban and suburban communities in 11 states of the United States; and 98 diagnostic imaging centers, ambulatory surgery centers, and urgent care centers, as well as one emergency department in 12 states of the United States. Tenet was founded in 1967 and is headquartered in Dallas. (The preceding comes from the Yahoo! Finance profile.)

Relieve your sole in four weeks with stretches and trigger point therapy
Stand on a step, legs straight, with the balls of your feet positioned on the back edge. Let your heels drop down, feeling the stretch in your achilles tendon. Repeat with your legs slightly bent to work the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles.

I have plantar pain but in middle of foot and near ball of foot. Was a mild niggle, mostly noticable after 2-3km or when using clutch pedal in car in heavy traffic. I went to see a sports physio who deep massaged under my foot 2 weeks ago and my foot has been 10 times worse ever since!
Anyone have any suggestions? I have heard about the night splint. Can anyone tell me what position my foot should be in to splint?
I am booked on to my 1st half marathon (Bath Half) in March and cant train at all. My training schedule and fitness is disappearing before my eyes. Have been cross training but its not the same.
Diane - I would suggest trying a different physio. When I had plantar trouble a while ago I went to a podiatrist, who gave me some orthotics to wear in my shoes, and I also visited a physio who did masage/ultrasound and strapped it. He also showed me how to strap it myself so I could change the strapping between visits. It took a while to sort it out, but now I am fine.
Also - yours might not be plantar fasicitis, could be something else. Mine was worse on first getting out of bed in the morning and faded as I used my feet.
Thanks for the feedback Mathschick. Physio diagnosed PF but I dont get any pain in my heel or my toes and it isnt worse first thing in the morning.
I've been running for around 18 months, gradually building up my distance and speed (did 1st 10k race at beginning of Oct) I've always been careful to warm up before and stretch after, I dont increase distance or speed more than 10% in a week, I run 4 days a week and rest for 3 and yet she says its an overuse injury?!?
Have lost confidence in physios for the time being and as I have no one to recommend one locally at the moment I'll try the "Beat Plantar Pain" exercises and see how I get on.
I'm really at a loss!
As a TCM Acupuncturist I have treated PF both on myself and other runners, usually 1 session and problem is solved, though nothing is guaranteed of course.
Is a technique using a TENS machine on fluctuating wave length on two points, Bladder 57(or 58) and Kidney 3, after obtaining qi on both needles. Patient should feel a vibrating/tingling effect, not where the needles are but under the heel at the sight of the PF pain, and then this should last at least 1/2 an hour to an hour, the longer the better!
I appreciate this is not much use unless you know a good Acupuncturist but any BAcC registered one should be able to replicate this treatment - whether they will do so of course depends on their ego and how good they are with a TENS machine. I would probabaly avoid drop in centres unless you have no money worries, and if you get no appreciable change in your pain levels further treatments may have no more effect than the first!
I've had plantar facia for about 17 years. Its caused by the foot arch being too flat, so stretching the plantar tendon. The cure is an inner sole warmed to make it extra flexible, then pressed against the underside of the foot whilst in the natal position ( the position at birth, which is simple to achieve ) The inner sole then firms to hold your foot in absolutely the correct postion at all times. The set is not rigid, the inner sole remains flexible around the correct position.The effect of it is to correctly arch your foot, which in turn puts your knees, hips and backbone in their best positions.
I was very lucky to see someone who's very good at treating all manner of foot problems. It was not expensive ( two visits at about £20 each, and inner soles at about £80 ).Todays costs will be more .
One of the things to avoid for any injury is more bruising, which can be caused by cortisone injections, and hard manipulation of an injury! There are special treatments to draw the excess fluid out, speeding up the repair process.
To finish. I was in such pain, I could not walk more than 200m., and had to stop work. After fitting the inner sole, I was quickly able to resume work, and a few weeks later could do everything, including running 4 miles or more.That was many years ago, and I can still run ( yesterday 13.5km ). Cured!!
@ SenidM
Do you still treat PF with acupuncture? Not getting much relief from mine using traditional stretching and anti-inflammatory creams.
PF is an overstretch issue.
If your foot pronates too much without enough control, or is stiff and jars when you hit the ground, the PF will be overstetched.
The pain comes from over stressed and over stretched tissue.
Stretching your PF will only increase the stress and stretch. Have a tight calf will stretch your PF. Getting your calf released will take the excessive load off of your PF. Stretching your calf (a la stretch against the wall) will NOT stretch your calf but will stretch your PF.
Control the pronation, or get your foot to take shock better (with stiff feet). Don't stretch (when painful) but do get flexibility in your calf. Don't foget to look where the symptoms come from, though....
It would appear, just like everywhere else on the interweb that there's conflicting opinions from 'experts' - we can't even five experts to agree on whether it's Plantar Fasciaitis or Sesamoiditis. Running's sh**. I hate it.
