Yup, Bradshaw really sucks. Cut him.
Let's put the women and children to bed and go lookin' for dinner
wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh we should start Andre Brown wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Brown isn't getting any carries wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Sick of all the Bradshaw haters. It makes me really hope he doesn't visit this message board after all the pain he's played through, and the rings he's won with us
Still would like for Brown to be the starter and Bradshaw the backup. I think that would produce a lot more production. Especially using Bradshaw in the 2nd half when the D is tired.
Bradshaw is running hard today though, good for him.

It's not a secret that Bitsnoop gets on average 30 emails per day with DMCA notices to remove specific torrents - we index millions of them, so some copyrighted stuff manages to sneak into the index.
We usually remove torrents in a timely manner, as long as the notice we recive is not written by a complete moron.
Here's one of such notices and the following email exchange:
from Carl Amari
to email@example.com
subject Removing my copyrighted materials of THE TWILIGHT ZONE RADIO DRAMAS
You are offering my copyrighted shows illegally, they are THE TWILIGHT ZONE RADIO DRAMAS which are owned by me and CBS Enterprises. This is a demand for you to remove them now and for good. If they are not removed this week and confirmed to me in an email at firstname.lastname@example.com I will instruct my attorney William Kummerer at Vedder Price in Chicago to use every avenue of the law to protect my rights which are being copyright infringed while also seeking damages. These shows are clearly copyright protected both in print on the CDs and via announcement as such by the announcer at the end of each episode. Why then would you so willingly and blatantly infringe on my copyrights? As I say if they are not removed this week, I will use the courts to protect my rights. Confirm this to me at email@example.com

He is not able to specify what content should be removed and opens conversation with legal threats.
Nice, eh?
Also we really like "courts" - sounds like a proper way to protect "stuffs" on the "internets".
The reply is pretty standard:
Please read: http://bitsnoop.com/info/dmca.html - it is in English and
is written in simple words.
> As I say if they are not removed this week, I will use the courts to protect my rights.
Bring it on.
Obviously he's too important to respect stupid laws and even read rules he's asked to follow:
So you are refusing to remove my copyrighted materials under some guise that you don't host the materials. That might work with others but it won't work with me you are nothing but a bootlegger, pirate and infringer. Why don't you try actually creating something someday as opposed to just stealing other people's work. But that would mean you'd have to be creative and actually do something worthwhile. See you in court and I have unlimited resources as the co-owner in TWILIGHT ZONE radio dramas is CBS.
Now that is insulting - Bitsnoop is a work of art, and developing it is several magnitudes more complicated than "producing" (paying money to writers and actors) some radio shows.
Also we like "unlimited resources" thing - clearly Forbes is stupid for not including this guy in billionaire listings. Here's his profile by the way: http://www.falconpicturegroup.com/AboutUs.html
Hence the reply:
You cannot read English? Have trouble understanding English?
Short version: SEND URLS TO REMOVE.
Since you've taken "copyright-abusing moron" stance - please send
copyright registration info for the content you claim that you own.
This is a developing story, stay tuned!

The Web would make a dandy blackboard if only we could scribble an equation
Brian Hayes
The world wide web was invented at a physics laboratory, and the first users were scientists and engineers. You might think, therefore, that this new channel of communication would be especially well adapted to scientific discourse—that it would facilitate the expression of ideas like
If only it were so! The truth is, the basic protocols of the Web offer almost no support for rendering mathematics or other specialized notations such as chemical formulas. Presenting such material on a Web page often requires software add-ons or plug-ins to be installed by the author or the reader or both. Fine-tuning the display of mathematics can be a fussy and finicky process, not much easier than formatting equations with a typewriter. The results sometimes render differently—or not at all—in various Web browsers. This is a sad situation: As the Web has evolved into a thriving marketplace and playground, the scholarly and scientific community that created the technology has not been well served.
The confused state of online mathematical typography is worrisome as well as sad. In years to come the Web will surely be the most important conduit for scientific information. Already it is a major channel for distributing publications and preprints in many disciplines, and it is becoming a venue for less-formal jottings and conversations—everything from homework assignments to blogs. Ideally, the Web would serve as an extension of the blackboard where people gather to talk about science and math during coffee breaks. We need chalk for that blackboard.
The problem is not one of simple neglect. Over the years there have been many earnest efforts to build a reliable facility for writing and reading mathematics online. The trouble is, no one solution has yet gained the kind of widespread adoption that would make it a standard, supported in mainstream Web servers and browsers. Still, there's room for hope. We have technologies that work, if we can agree on how to use them. And a minor change to the infrastructure of the Web might smooth the way for more online math.
Even in the world of ink-on-paper publishing, mathematical notation can be a challenge. In the days when printing was done with metal type, equations had to be assembled by hand, piecing together symbols on individual slivers of metal and shimming them into position. A manuscript with a lot of mathematics was known as "penalty copy" because printers would charge extra to compose it.
By the 1970s, metal type was giving way to optical and electronic typesetting devices, which projected letterforms onto photographic film. In principle the new machinery might have aided mathematical typesetting because characters could be placed with equal facility at any position and scaled to any size. But the software for running the phototypesetting machines offered no easy way to exploit this flexibility. The printed product was often inferior to expertly set metal type.
Enter Donald E. Knuth of Stanford University, who was so discontented with the deteriorating quality of mathematical typography that he set aside other work and undertook to build his own typesetting system. The eventual result was TeX, a formatting language not just for equations but for entire documents. Leslie Lamport, now of Microsoft Research, soon introduced LaTeX, a higher-level language built atop Knuth's TeX. (The names are pronounced tek and lah-tek.)
The first equation in the first paragraph on this page is encoded in LaTeX as follows:
\nabla \times \mathbf{E}= -\frac{\partial \mathbf{B}} {\partial{t}}
Each of the terms beginning with a backslash is a LaTeX command. For example, \frac{}{} constructs a fraction, with whatever appears inside the two pairs of brackets forming the numerator and the denominator. Some commands simply insert a single character, as with \times (×), \partial (∂) and \nabla (∇). The
\mathbf{} command applies a boldface font to the bracketed text.
Let me call attention to what is not present in the TeX encoding. There are no explicit instructions for arranging the symbols on the page; all of the geometric details, such as centering the numerator over the denominator and drawing a horizontal bar between them, are handled automatically.
Also missing is any hint of what the equation means; TeX is a language for describing mathematical notation, not for doing mathematics. For example, "∇×E" is merely a sequence of three symbols, with no reference to the operation those symbols denote—namely the "curl" of a vector field, a measure of the field's rotation or angular momentum. (The first equation is one of James Clerk Maxwell's four famous equations describing the electromagnetic field. The second example gives two definitions of the Riemann zeta function, revealing a remarkable identity between an infinite sum and an infinite product.)
TeX has transformed the process of putting mathematical ideas on paper. What once required the services of a skilled typesetter can now be done by a mere mathematician. A manuscript can go from the author to a printed journal without human intervention.
But what about the Web, which did not yet exist when Knuth developed TeX? Modern TeX systems produce output in the form of Postscript or PDF files. Although documents in these formats can be distributed over the Web—the arXiv preprint server dispatches thousands of them every day—they are not quite first-class citizens of the Web world. Browsers cannot display Postscript or PDF files without the aid of extra software, and many readers choose to download such files and view them offline or print them. This works well enough for static documents such as journal articles, but it's not ideal for the more volatile and interactive areas of the Web, such as blogs or the always-under-revision pages of Wikipedia. For mathematics to be fully at home online, it needs to be translated into one of the Web's native languages.

Getting Amped for Adventure in the Kentucky Mountains
Harlan County Campground & Cabin Rentals: • Putney, KY
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay in a One- ($142), Two- ($239), or Three-Bedroom Cabin ($299) on Sundays through Thursdays
- Or, a Two-Night Stay in a One- ($171), Two- ($249), or Three-Bedroom Cabin ($333) on Fridays and Saturdays in August and December 2012 or January and February 2013
- One Kayak Rental
- One Zipline Tour with Black Mountain Thunder Zipline
If the thought of traditional camping leaves you pitching a fit instead of a tent and cursing your cooler for not keeping your condiments chilled, give the outdoors a chance to prove its greatness via another avenue: a cabin rental.
Escape to Harlan County, Kentucky, where the activities—geared toward nature enthusiasts (hiking and fishing) and adrenaline-seekers (ziplining and off-roading)—outshine the coal mines and the state's famed bluegrass.
Fly through the dense foliage of the Appalachian Mountains on your included two-hour zipline tour with Black Mountain Thunder Zipline. Then slow things down on your included kayak rental—you can even be shuttled upstream so you can cruise down the Cumberland River at your leisure.
The next day, take your jeep or ATVs off-roading on Harlan County Trails or hike through Kingdom Come State Park.
At the end of the day, you'll bed down at Harlan County Campground & Cabin Rentals. Stay for two nights on Sundays through Thursdays in a one- ($142), two- ($239), or three-bedroom cabin ($299). If Fridays and Saturdays are a better time for you to commune with nature, beat the crowds with a two-night weekend stay in August and December 2012 or January and February 2013 in a one- ($171), two- ($249), or three-bedroom cabin ($333).
Besides the inherent advantages of avoiding tent pole-induced profanity and the chance of an errant raccoon in your sleeping bag, the campground's heated and air-conditioned cabins offer bathrooms and kitchens or kitchenettes, and some even have private hot tubs.
In the evening, cook dinner on the barbecue grill, gather 'round the fire for s'mores, and then watch a movie on your living room's flat-screen TV. Who said outdoor adventure and roughing it have to go hand in hand?
"Located on the doorstep of Black Mountain Off-Road Adventure Area, the Harlan County Campground is the only campground where no highway travel is required to get to Black Mountain."-- Kentucky Department of Travel and Tourism

|Calendar updated
There is a supermarket, plus several restaurants and bars within a 5-minute walk.
Sao Bento is less than 15 minutes walking distance from Cais do Sodré Train Station. The Metro there provides access to central Lisbon in 10 minutes. Lisbon International Airport is 8 km away.
If you walk 10 minutes you´re at "Bairro Alto", known as one of the most attractive and picturesque areas of the Lisbon's city center. At night, this 17th century colorful district is transformed into the city's vibrant nightlife quarter. The main streets and narrow passageways are bustling with activity of dozens of excellent traditional restaurants, «fado singing houses», cafés, and a multitude of sleek clubs and bars that stay open until late. In recent years, «Bairro Alto» is also an alternative shopping destination, for those looking for trendy design shops, art galleries and bookshops.
Bairro Alto, one of the Lisbon hippest and coolest place.
There are several buses and trams, and subway, 10 minutes away, although one can easily walk to the main points of the city. Five minutes walking is the heart of the glamorous and cosmopolitan city can still be felt in the Chiado, a place where the "new" and "old" live in harmony. Characterized by casual-chic atmosphere, with streets full of shops, fine restaurants, beautiful cobblestone, beautiful churches and timeless cafes, Chiado makes any visitor feel real Lisbon.
Chiado is where Lisbon's history and urbanity meet. This tourist area of the capital begins at the Brasileira café, on Rua Garrett. Opened in 1905. It´s one of Lisbon's postcards. On the side walk café you will find the different urban tribes and a statue of poet Fernando Pessoa, who offers his lap for tourist photos.
Next to it, two churches remind the vanished towers of Santa Catarina Gate. The Church of Loreto, built in 1528 by Italians living in Lisbon, was partially destroyed by the 1755 earthquake, but later rebuilt and one of the places to visit on Chiado. The Church of Encarnação, inaugurated in 1708, was also hit in 1755 and rebuilt later. But Chiado has more than just two churches to (website hidden)ís de Camões square, which any Lisboner will call Largo Camões, is not just a passing place. Sit on the steps of the poet's monument and enjoy the bustle that Chiado has.
But do not leave Chiado without inquiring about the theatres. São Luiz Municipal Theatre was one of Lisbon's first cinemas. Today it is a municipal theatre with a rich and varied programming. Also glimpse the Teatro Trindade and the S. Carlos Opera House.
This is one of the city´s best shopping areas. You will find international brand shops (Hermès and Hugo Boss, for example) and great Portuguese designers like José António Tenente (Tv. Carmo, 8) StoryTailors (Cç. Do Ferragial, 8) or Atelier Alves/Gonçalves (Tv. Guilherme Cossul, 16).
It is not difficult to come across public figures, mainly artists. There are several art schools in the area, like the Fine Arts Faculty. Even if you are not an expert, venture into the Chiado Museum - National Museum of Contemporary Art (Rua Serpa Pinto, 4) besides well-cared exhibitions, it has a pleasant patio to have lunch or simply sip a coffee. There is also a big offer for meals: Café Royale, New Wok and Kaffee Hause are excellent choices.

Reviews of this property
Appartement très bien situé (à proximité de la rue "Calçada do Combro" ou passe le célèbre tram 28), à 10 minutes à pied de l'arrêt de métro "Baixa/Chiado". Nous avons été très bien accueilli par Antonio, qui nous a donné quelques informations et bonnes adresses sur sa ville. Appartement toutefois très petit : une fois que le lit est ouvert, il ne reste quasiment plus d'espace. De plus, les murs ne sont pas très épais, il arrive donc d'entendre les locataires du dessus et du dessous. Il convient toutefois très bien pour 1-2 personnes lors de vacances de quelques jours à la découverte de cette charmante capitale.
Ich war alleine Mitte Juni in der Unterkunft. Das Appartement ist frisch renoviert, gemütlich und für eine Person völlig ausreichend. Die Innenstadt geht quasi direkt vor der Tür los. Sehr geeignet für eine Erkundung Lissabons. Leider ist es eher hellhörig, was aber wohl typisch ist für Wohnungen in Lissabon.
très bien reçu par l'ami de Mr COSTA, Antonio, qui nous a donné les renseignements nécessaires pour nous permettre de visiter Lisbonne .
le logement est très bien situé en plein centre de Lisbonne dans la vieille ville.
Il est très propre et possibilité de préparer éventuellement ses repas.
Par contre, l'appartement est exigü pour un couple et conviendrait mieux à une personne seule. Il est également trop bruyant, peu insonorisé par rapport aux autres appartements ainsi que la cage d'escalier.
Reviews for this host's other properties
Every thing was great! Thank you very much!
We do not recommend this room.
the pros:
rather good location, famous bairo alto is 10-min-walk distant. Close to the Praça de Comercio y Rossio Train Station that take you to Sintra and Other out of Lisbon locations
Antonio welcome us nicely and give us a city map and good tourists advices. He was on time.
The bed for the couple is comfortable.
the cons :
the apartment was badly maintained. Layers of Wall paint fall down, shower doors don't shut properly.
The showers doors were broke and were very difficult to close.
No place to hold towels
The guard rail for the stairs upstair was like not safe at all, moving a lot, you're afraid to touch it because it can fall, take care if you wake up at night not to guide yourself with it in the dark.....
There were no window shutters so we were awaken by the day light
Carefull the appartment is fittable for a couple, not for 4 people. As the 3rd person would sleep on the very uncomfortable couch (the spring mattress hurt your back), and the 4th person would sleep on a extra poor mousse matress layed down the soil.
Despite the good looking kitchen, we were unable to cook as there weren't any cooking ustensils. no frying pan, no oven dishes, no proper saucepan. More we hadn't even a sponge to clean the used plates and glasses. We ask Antonio to at least give us a frying pan and a sponge. He never did it. So we were extremely dispapointed.
We were recieved by a very friendly and helpful Antonio.
Good: The Apartment was spacefull and well equipped with bedsheets, towels etc.
Cheep taxi´s gets you to the old quarter for a mere 5 euros, but there are also some nice and very cheap restaurants in the neighbourhood.. The apartment had a nice terrasse with a fine view.
Not so good: The elevator made pretty much noise in the Apartment. HOwever, it was perhaps only 3-4 times at evening time. The kitchen was populated with hundreds of ants. There was a bad smell form the sewer in the refrigerator which we were unable to clean lacking a screwdriver.
The TV's reception had a red glow, but there were lot´s of channels, not that it mattered that much. The two metal tables on the terrasse was so crooked that it was dangerous putting cups or glasses on them. When we had lunch out there one day, we had to bring out the big round table form the living room.
By cleaning the sewer, killing the ants, a new TV-set, two new tables on the terrasse, you´ll have a very fine Apartment at a good Price.
nice appartment, good location :)
A verry charming apartement. great view from the terrace overlooking the Bridge.
Y would recommend for visiting Lissabon. When this apartement has a good bed and the chairs on the balcony are fixt its perfect.
Well located, next to the metro station.
The owner was flexible with check in & out
the apartment is well accomodated and comfortable.
We had a really good stay in this appartment.
It's very central, you can go by feet in the city center.
The appartment was as descriped and he met us at the agreed time.

I remember when we were picking blackberries, we were in a country lane, i continued into another smaller lane, there was a very large house behind and totally silent.
A big car suddenly came out of the gates and the driver gave me a cruel look so i smiled i was after all on the outside of his gardens...

Re: Food foraging around the UK
An extension to my (much) earlier caution. Avoid old petrol station sites, they usually have contaminated the ground water and that moves very slowly so it will be there for a long long time and moving in the direction the ground water does.
Kye, I agree outside the fence is fair game. I asked a neighbour if I could take mulberries off the branches hanging over the fence on to the street. They cut down the tree. I'd even said if I'd not got a response I wouldn't do it....i even offered to share the jam. It was a famous person....one of the members of ACDC.

Re: Food foraging around the UK
In that case TWR, they should have invited you to take the mulberries. I don't consider fruit hanging over a fence to belong to anyone passing by. I'm sure the person who owns that tree was reluctant to cut off a productive branch. It's within a person's rights to some extent here to cut off any branches hanging over onto their property. But, that's not really the same as a branch hanging over a piece of land that doesn't belong to you.

Re: Food foraging around the UK
That's why I asked first. I never got any fruit from it. I wanted to get a ladder up to the higher fruit (that was still hanging over the fence). It was a big stone fence and I knew they were celebrities so might be a bit nervous about that.

Re: Food foraging around the UK
There was a case I read about where a man took avocados from a tree that had limbs hanging over the fence. They were technically still on the owner's property, little did the man taking them realize, but come on. He had to know he was taking someone's fruit. The man taking them had to pay the highest market value of $2 each and court costs. The owner was growing them for market. If someone is caring for a fruit tree on their property and a few limbs hang over the fence, it seems like stealing in a moral sense to me if you take the fruit, even if it isn't in the legal sense.

Re: Food foraging around the UK
The law as it stands in England is:
What is on the tree (leaves/fruit) belongs to the owner of the tree, no matter which side of the fence it is on.
Windfalls (leaves/fruit) that have fallen NATURALLY (ie without help!!!) from the tree belongs to whoever's land the produce has fallen onto.
If tree limbs overhang someone's property they have the right to prune those limbs, but not to damage/kill the tree, & must return the severed wood to the tree's owner for removal (that you cannot burn it, bin it or take it to the tip, etc surprises many people!), since not to do so is actually theft.
It is neighbourly (obviously) to avoid wrangles by discussing problems, but with intransigent neighbours it helps to know the law before you NEED to!

Hurahh, I now know what Alexandras are and there are lots of them. It has to be said though, they related to belladonna , thats a bit scary.
Anyone in the UK use colapsable pots or similar. I am thinking for shrimp, shellfish, or prawn. That would be without a boat.

What does the word FLEX mean in the following: 5.3L V8 323 CID FLEX?
It means that it is a "flex fuel" vehicle.
You can run E-85 fuel.
Thank you, that is what I thought it ment. Can you mix E85 and unleaded fuels?
Yes, you just can't put e85 in a non flex vehicle.
Thanks for the help. You guys are great.
better check around to see who sells e85

City of Columbia warns of utilities scam
Roughly 25 complaints reported over three days
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Columbia utilities officials had a scam warning for Water & Light customers this week.
City finance officials said Tuesday they had taken roughly 25 complaints about phony final notices, with threats to shut off utilities, in three days.
On Monday, the city finance department told Kathy Rehma it had heard of a couple other instances of fraudulent calls in the past week.
Rehma co-owns Cat's Kitchen on Paris Road in Columbia with Ray Freschette.
Freschette told ABC 17 News Monday the restaurant got a call that morning from a man claiming to be from Columbia Water & Light.
The caller said the bill was past due and the call was the final notice before Water & Light cut their services.
But, fear not said the caller, he could get the problem taken care of if Rehma gave him a credit card number or check routing number.
"It's just another one of those scam things," Freschette said. "You just have to nip it in the bud or some people are going to get hurt."
Columbia police had been notified of the calls Monday night and Rehma said she called the state attorney general.
"You'll never get a bill from Water & Light directly and you will never have a Water & Light employee contacting you," said spokesperson Connie Kacprowicz. "It will be a city of Columbia bill or an automated phone call, but never a person calling you directly."
Kacprowicz added that city employees will not process a payment over the phone, though there is a hotline to pay bills via phone.
It's not the first time scammers have targeted Columbia Water & Light customers, similar calls were reported nationwide in May.
The calls come just after Ameren reported a similar scam, with calls going to its customers claiming their electricity will be cut off if they do not pay.

White Flour - A Vets Perspective
Oct 08, 2013
Mark Campbell's letter on White Flour.
White Flour – A Vet's Perspective
Food vs Confectionery
Is there really a difference between wholemeal and white flour? From a vet's point of view at least, the difference is massive. One is a complete food capable of raising a chicken from egg to laying bird. Add a little bit of dirt for trace elements and you can do it for multiple generations. If someone did feed a batch of day old chicks on white bread the results would be catastrophic: those which did not die of intestinal bacterial overgrowths in the first few weeks would never survive past sixteen weeks.
If a vet incorporated more than a very small amount of white flour in the ration of any species he or she would be in trouble – intestinal problems, joint problems, obesity, dental disease and vascular disease rates would all increase in a predictable fashion. The starch in the finely ground flour breaks down to glucose within seconds of exposure to enzymes in the saliva and stomach. Chew slowly on a piece of white bread; within seconds you'll notice it's liquefying and soon pretty much absorbed; with brown bread you'll notice it becomes much stickier and far less liquidised.
White flour has only been available for just over one century – until then all flour was wholemeal. Wheat is structured a bit like a Saturn V rocket – the outer shape is formed by the bran, the rocket fuel is the starchy endosperm, and the small concentrated control module is the germ, which uses the "fuel" to blast out of the soil to get to the sunlight. The invention of high speed milling allowed the separation of the milled product into different streams – one with all the germ and bran and a little of the starchy endosperm; and one with only that starchy bit which is what we know as white flour. The white flour also contains most of the gluten or wheat protein.
White flour makes wonderful cakes and scones – but it isn't a complete food by a long, long way.
My belief is that we humans have accidentally fallen into the trap of thinking flour is flour – and it isn't. One is an almost complete food, the other is a confectionery.
Growing the right bugs....
The biggest problems with getting rid of the "good bits" form a vet's perspective is the loss of the bits that contain the stuff that grows "good" bacteria inside whatever animal is eating it. There's also the loss of some vitamins and minerals, which are important too – but it's the bacterial problems and the lack of several types of fibre and other less immediately digestible carbohydrates, that causes most of the issues. Two important types which just don't seem to get enough attention:
- FOS (Fructose oligo-saccharides). These short chains of fructose (fruit sugar) can't be digested by animals – but there are bacteria in the lower small intestine that LOVE them. If there's plenty of FOS in the diet, then these bugs are effectively preferentially fed – if there isn't, lots of nasty bugs can grow, which may be potentially pathogenic (able to cause disease) or simply don't produce some other good products that the "good bugs" do (some of the B vitamins for instance). Wholemeal has lots of FOS, white flour almost none
- Semi-fermentable Fibre Sometimes known as partially fermentable fibre. Once inside an animal, fibre is best described as fermentable, semi-fermentable or non-fermentable. Basically the intestinal tract is a fermentation system, and of course what you put in to the system determines very much what grows in the system. Non-fermentable fibre includes woody structures – only termites can digest it. Highly fermentable fibre can produce a lot of gas – think beans etc. Semi-fermentable fibre is really good – it is broken down by bugs in the lower intestines into various things including a few fatty acids. What's important about that is that one of those fatty acids – butyric acid, which has two carbon molecules – is the only real food for the cells lining the colon. There is excellent experimental work showing the thickness of that lining layer can actually double (i.e. the cells are really happy and grow well) when the level of semi-fermentable fibre in a diet is increased. It's not unfair to postulate that happy cells are less likely to get all sorts of problems, up to and including cancer. What is definitely true is that animals fed good levels of these fibres have far better bowel function. It's also a fact that animals have far lower levels of bowel cancer than humans, though of course there are other factors involved.
There are other substances too – for instance molecules that act a bit like gelatine when wet to bind all the food together (think how porridge is formed from dry oats), making it digest just a little slower, which is better for both the satiety (feeling full) effect and for reducing the load on the cells that make insulin. But for a vet, the ones that grow good bugs are critical, and it seems to me we humans don't think of that factor nearly enough when we think of what's "in" the food we eat.
We simply must reduce our intake of highly refined foods – they're killing us, and sending our health systems broke.
Is there any good news, or a possible solution?
Firstly, we just need to be aware there's a difference, most people are more than capable of modifying what they eat if they find there's a reasonable argument to do so.
Secondly, we should consider encouraging the use of flour containing at least 50% wholemeal flour for all manufactured and takeaway hamburger buns and flour-based pizza bases. If that has to be done via legislation, then so be it. It is fair to propose the theory that we could see savings in the health costs within six months in some areas. It is almost certain we would see considerable savings within three years, and that these would accrue and multiply over the coming decades.
I'm more than aware that at first glance it can sound like I'm selling a religion with this "not all flours are the same" idea. I'm not – it's just a fact, plain and simple. It doesn't mean you can't eat food containing white flour – I do it all the time – but we simply must know the difference and eat more wholemeal, "unrefined" foods
Over the past twenty years, many of my friends have taken great delight ribbing me in true Australian fashion about it; even the surfboat crew I row with is now called South Curl Curl "White Bread" (they wanted "White Bread is the Devil" but it was knocked back as too long for the commentators). But they all eat wholemeal bread – well, more than they used to, even when I'm not around....

The addition of manure to other decaying organic matter to compost is a valuable and safe practice to manage animal waste. Composting reduces the volume of manure, kills parasites, reduces weed seeds, provides slow release fertilizer, reduces odor, and increases soil fertility. Compositing requires 2/3 oxygen, 50% moisture, 30:1 carbon to nitrogen ratio, and warm temperatures.

2008 Few people collect Hot Coffee compensation
GTA: San Andreas - General News | @ 01:39 AM MDT | By victim
Last year, Take-Two offered to reimburse anybody who felt strongly over the sexual content that was left within San Andreas and thus agreed to pay a sum amount of $5-35 to any individual that purchased the game and felt the content was abusive of the ESRB's rating system.
Today, it was confirmed that only 2,676 have claimed Take-Two's offer proving that only a small minority of people cared about the content.
Theodore Frank, director of the Legal Center for the Public Interest at the American Enterprise Institute, believes that the lack of claimants proves that the case was meritless from the beginning. He submits that this lack of response proves that the plaintiffs claims were overblown, and as a consequence the suit may be deemed meritless and the lawyers who tried the case will not be able to collect their $1.3 million in legal fees they are demanding from Take-Two.
It is currently unknown whether it comes down to people not caring about the content or nobody actually being bothered to produce a receipt for their refund.

Penny, Duke and Benny is a new show conceived by Georgina Jackson and her musical director Pete Long. Taking a selection of tunes associated with Peggy Lee (some well known, others not so) Pete, clarinettist and leader, has arranged the tunes in the style of the Benny Goodman small bands featuring Anthony Kerr on vibes, Nick Dawson, piano, Dave Chamberlain bass and Richard Pite on drums. Pete, well known for his recreation of the Benny Goodman 1938 Carnegie Hall concert and his long established Echoes of Ellington Orchestra has taken this opportunity of combining his musical enthusiasms and presenting the music of these three great names in jazz history in one highly entertaining programme.
Georgina Jackson currently runs two careers simultaneously - As a first call trumpet player (currently playing in the West End production of Chicago) and jazz singer (regularly fronting the Ronnie Scott Big Band) and recently releasing her second CD "Watch What Happens" which has hit the Itunes Top Ten Downloads Jazz Chart). Georgina's trumpet playing is also featured in the Peggy, Duke and Benny show alongside her superb singing of classics such as Fever, The Folks Who Live On The Hill, Pass Me By, He's A Tramp , Why Don't You Do Right and many more.

nice :applause:
Thanks for sharing!
Who's the grumpy guy in the first photo?
What is it hat you do? Lol. Where did you get the artwork if bees with machine guns?
Grumpy guy? What grumpy guy?
The art work? The large panel w/ the Girl and the Rabbit is my 5 lb honey jar label, which was designed for me by a friend who used to do the illustrations for her Mother's childrens books. I had it colored and then blown up by the sign company which did all the decal work for the van.
The panel towards the back was from the original artwork done for hats I had made many years ago.
The bees w/ machineguns are SeaBees magnetic signs which I picked up at Ft. Carson in Colorado Springs,CO when I went to see my Son and family. People had been telling me they liked my van, but they noticed it didn't have any bees on it. So, when I saw those "bees", w/ my warped sense of humor, I thought, "That'll do it.". Aren't they great?
I have another peice I haven't picked up from my friend yet. A bee holding a gas nozzle which will go on the side nearest the gas hole. No I don't get my gas at BP.
Mark, what the MPG like, and how big is the engine? I like that style of van. It looks very practical.
Very nice, sqkcrk!
I get around 25 MPG, gas. Four cylinder engine. Carrys about 1200lb pay load. Has floor space 4'X6'. It is a little cramped in the driver's seat on long trips like driving to SC, FL or CO. Rear view mirrors have limited visibilty. I almost ran ninto someone for not being able to see well looking out the passenger window at a Stop sign. One has to really think ahead and position the vehicle to see what one needas to see. I wish the mirrors were bigger.
Mostly like it. Seeing more of them all the time. It says Ford on it. But it is made in Turkey and Spain. Has been available in Europe and Middle East for 15 years or so. It is called a Transit Connect, supposedly because that translates internationally better than other possible names.
Low $20,000.00 range new. Comes in Grey, Black, Red, and White. Can have seats or just as a delivery/utility van. Many shelf options. Gull wing rear doors optional, special hinges.
Can I sell you one?
In Britain the "Ford Transit" is the best known cargo-type van, and so I can see why they have attached that name to it. I get truck and van envy. I am still driving my 1999 Saturn Station Wagon with about 190,000 miles on it. It does well enough for carrying my honey production (18 production hives this year) and is my daily commuter. I get up to 40 mpg in it.
I can't justify buying anything bigger based on my current operation and my wife was nice enough not to fuss when I used the minivan to move some bees.
However, I really like that van.
How do you get 40mpg? I can only get 25 or 26. Oh, I see. Oops.
It seems almost typical for Saturns. I drive a 2000 Saturn sedan, and regularly get 40-43 mpg.
Attachment 2595Attachment 2596Attachment 2598Attachment 2600Attachment 2598
Some closeups of the panels. I moved the Seabees.
Did you have a bit knowledge about car repairing? if not then you should to aware about it a bit.
I can send you a link which I believe will be helpful for you and give you enough knowledge regarding car repairing.
I will keep my 1982 VW Westphalia Vanagon. Diesel(now turbo), hauls 1400 lbs, sleeps 4 , sink stove, refrigerator, rear engine, rear drive, gets 30-32 mpg. Good for early beeyard inspections, before supering starts, and the ground is still soft.
crazy Roland
I saw one of those vans down here today, it was a Terminix van.
They are getting more popular. They are quite functional, especially in urban communities. But I am seeing them all over the place when I travel the highways between Northern NY and SC. I wonder when UPS will get one?
Mark when are you comming back to SC?
Early Nov. or after the 18th.

ehh...what else do you want him to say......
All most say is "he's tall" as though that automatically translates into play maker. I'm expecting him to be released this offseason along with Beckum.
whats the good of having a guy on the roster who the coaches are afraid to play, why carry him at all. I saw plenty of times when I thought Barden would get in and change up the offense a litle especially in goal line situations but it never happened so why pay this guy and have him take up a roster spot..
I'm just surprised we gave up on him in a year where we needed that kind of player and after he showed up no less.
Barden had one big game and made other key plays. This guy could easily be put in more often. We have him warm the bench then expect him to go out on the field and be a top notch receiver. This is an example of another player who can really contribute but we use like a "break glass in case of emergency" guy. Spotscasters said he catches the ball well and at his height and strength is a guy Eli can throw to similar to a Plaxico. Play him or trade him. I believe if we trade him he's going to show case his talents and we're going to kick ourselves for letting him go.

Eating a cable: Internet access still elusive in Cuba
There is a popular expression in Cuba that is synonymous with difficulty and crisis. When you want to indicate that someone is doing badly economically, it is sufficient to say that he is "eating a cable." Street humor has identified the act of chewing and swallowing a bundle of wires with scarcity and material want. The parable has gained strength these days in reference to the fiber-optic cable installed between Cuba and Venezuela, which has yet to provide service to Cuban clients despite reports that it is finally functioning.

Brief History
The Indiana Children's Trust Fund was established by the Indiana General Assembly in 1994. Legislation called for the design and issuance of a Children's Trust Fund license plate. "KIDS FIRST" license plates became available in January 1995. The Children's Trust Fund receives their monies from the sale of the "KIDS FIRST" license plates. This money is then granted to community programs throughout the State of Indiana for projects addressing prevention of child abuse and neglect.
In July of 2003, the Children's Trust Fund became the Kids First Trust Fund. Senate Enrolled Act No. 420 made this official change in hopes that the name change will tie the trust fund more directly with the license plates.

Hi there,
I'm new to making candles and I am trying to keep straight which wick is best for what kind of candle.... I have a woman who has asked me to refill glass religious candle containers that are 7.5 inches tall and 2.75 inches wide for her and I am wondering if I should use 1/0, #2 or 60 ply wick and secure it to the bottom somehow so it will stay centered or use zinc wire cored wick. If the zinc wire core is best which size? I'm using only beeswax.
Any help is much appreciated.

May 5, 2011/CBS Detroit
By Matt Roush
Grand Valley State University has developed a Web site designed to help Michigan residents and educators learn more about their schools and communities, and how they impact one another.
The Web site, www.Mi-School.net, combines 2010 U.S. Census data with information from the Michigan Department of Education, Michigan Department of Community Health and local police departments and clerks. The site features visual markers that represent all traditional, charter and private schools in the state. Each marker representing a school can be selected to view information about that specific school or district, including enrollment characteristics and standardized test performance.
Mi-School.net is built on a platform similar to Google Maps and allows users to visually display information such as an area's population, housing, vital records, crime, education, income, voting and transportation through color-coded maps. The site also features a comparison tool that allows users to compare up to five schools or districts using 40 different indicators.
Each data set can be narrowed to feature more specific information. For example, an area's population can be analyzed based on total population, race, average household size, population under 5 years old or population under 18 years old. The geographic area being analyzed can be customized as well, featuring an area as large as the entire state or as small as a city block.
"We believe that this tool can be an asset to many in our state," said Rob Kimball, director of research and measurement for the GVSU Charter Schools Office. "Whether it's parents who are seeking a community to raise their children, a legislator who is determining the future course for our state's schools or a community leader who is seeking in-depth information about his or her neighborhoods, this tool will provide a cross-section of useful information in a completely new way."
Mi-School.net was developed by the Grand Valley State University Charter Schools Office in collaboration with Grand Valley's College of Education and Johnson Center for Philanthropy, as well as the Michigan Council for Charter School Authorizers.

dude, Rueben Randle has as many 60yrd recieving games and 6catch games as hixon this yr!!lol Randles played so fewer snaps, its not even worth mentioning... Randle will take Hixons job next yr, no doubt about it.. If Mario were here, he'd have at least 4-5 60yrd games, and theres a reason that ELI's stats are taking such a big hit this season, without the trifecta of Nicks, Cruz, and Mario.. When u lose a nicks, and can plug in a mario, ur losing far less, then when u plug in a hixon...
due to the fact that I am from the Woodstock generation ...
my opinions may be chemically enhanced and influenced by severe episodes of memory loss
The reason a guy gets targets is:
1. He's on the field because he's better
2. He's open
3. He has the best chance on the field to make a play.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
Hixons' best value to the giants was as a returner in my opinion.. I feel we could plug in about 50other recievers, and they'd do just as good as hixon if not better.. U can not say the same about mario, who again, passed Hixon on the depth chart...
I have never been concerned at all with MM's "intelligence". I care what he does on the field to help our team win.
And has done subtantially more in that regard than Domenik Hixon. And BTW..I like Hixon a lot. I especially like his ST ability.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..

Play-By-Playmate: The Tough Questions
The replacement people pretending to be officials made an absolutely mind-blowingly bad call. What the eff is going on?
I had a whole blog planned around answering some of the tough questions around the NFL: who's the best QB, which undefeated team looks like they could remain undefeated for a while…but that all went to shit after last night's debacle. Debacle isn't even the right word. There are no words to describe this. I'm in shock. We're still gonna get to some of the tough questions, but the first one we've gotta ask is…
What the eff is going on?
Okay. So for those of you who live under rocks, last night in Seattle the replacement officials…no, that's not the right word either. I don't even want to call them officials. The replacement people pretending to be officials made an absolutely mind-blowingly bad call. Two, actually; missing both offensive pass interference (a judgment call that is often missed/not called) and a touchdown call that was actually an interception. That one? Not so hard to miss.
The result: Game goes to Seattle, Green Bay goes to the locker room and the Twitterverse explodes in outrage. I have never seen so many people unite behind one blown call. This is a call that not only affects the outcome of a game or the standings, it affects everything. It makes fans everywhere lose a little respect for the league. How can we stand behind something like that? Over the last few weeks it's really gotten out of hand; there have been bad calls, no calls, phantom calls. There have been fights and misplaced field position, but until now it's never so obviously affected the outcome of a game. But last night proved that no one can trust what's going on out there anymore. This whole season should be asterisked. ASTERISKED I SAY!
Okay…Okay. I'm calm. Now that we've talked about the elephant in the room, let's look on the bright side.
Three teams are 3-0, but which one is better?
Looking at their schedules, their rosters and their games, I'd have to go with Atlanta over Houston and Arizona. The Texans have got to beat up some soft teams from Florida (not mentioning any names) and the Broncos (who I think will get better). Arizona, well, I mean, Arizona has beaten two playoff contenders in the Eagles and the Patriots, but I don't know if they're the best 3-0 team. Atlanta, though, they've carved up some pretty good teams and I think they look the most well rounded of the bunch. I'm sticking with Atlanta.
Which team is not as good as their record?
The Philadelphia Eagles. Plain and simple. Everyone said they were a playoff team last year. Everyone said they were a playoff team this year. But they aren't. I think we all need to face that. Michael Vick threw four interceptions in their first one-point win. He threw two and had a fumble in their second point win. And the Cardinals proved that even without the turnovers, Vick is not an elite quarterback playing on an over-hyped team.
Which "bad" team is actually sneaky good?
The Vikes! I called this earlier this year when I told all you lovely readers to draft Kyle Rudolph in your fantasy leagues! They beat the 'Niners last week, played pretty damn well against an okay Jaguars defense in week one and lost on a Hail Mary play to the Colts in week two. I've got them pegged for better things.
And finally I want to leave you all with a question. Which team are you most surprised to find with a losing record: the 0-3 Saints, the 1-2 Packers or the 1-2 Patriots? Let me know in the comments below!
Jaime's Fantasy Update
I lost this week, and again I'm putting all the blame on my running backs, Reggie Bush and C. J. Spiller, who both left the game in the first half and never returned. But honestly, I'm too upset about real football to worry about fantasy football. Kudos to Team Car RamRod for the 20-point victory.

I intend to close the current online league seasons at midday on Saturday 17th December 2011.
This will represent the end of the third season of the team league and the first proper season of the Individual League.
Not all the matches in the team league have been finished, however in nearly all cases I believe the outcome will be fair if I declare all the outstanding games to be drawn. If anyone disagrees, please contact me as soon as possible.
However please do not feel inhibited in trying to complete games and matches before then!
Also don't forget the individual league which has almost fallen into disuse!
The unassailable winner of Division 2 in the Individual League will be Xinyi Lu, who was undefeated. I know we are all shocked and horrified at his untimely death and his recorded games in both leagues, most of which he won, will be a small memorial to him.
Please can all teams confirm that they are able and willing to play next season, which will start at the beginning of February. We would like to get as many games played as possible, and hopefully have expert reviews of some of them for us all to learn from. If at all possible, and especially if we do not have as many teams, I should like to have a brisker pace of games and a notional "home" and "away" match between each pair of teams.
Next year we'll be additionally able to take subscriptions for the leagues by Paypal straight from the league website. We are sorry that the aspect of payments of subscriptions have become a little less than perfectly organised over the past seasons. Please note that we are raising the subscriptions to £15 for the team league and £10 for the individual league (with surcharges for non-BGA members).
If anyone has any questions, suggestions, compliments or complaints, please do not hesitate to get hold of me.

For mags you could look for MG13 mags, they are 8mm and are 20 or 25 rounders, I've seen them on GB ranging from $15-25 each. You'd have to mod them or mod the mag well to them, but it's one more mag option that's not too expensive.
Here's a pair for $50

Lowes has a shop vac motor that fits on a five gallon bucket. (Shop-Vac Shop Vacuum Item #: 49940 | Model #: 6004511). It is a 6.5 amp motor. It does have good reviews on lowes' website. My question has anyone used this motor to make a bee vac using two 5 gallon buckets?
If no one has used it does anyone understand vac motors to know if a 6.5 amp would be a good size for a bee vac. I think this translates out to about .7 HP.

Survey: Census 1960 Tracts Only Set
|Persons of Spanish Surname (Volume II, Part I - Subject Reports)
U.S. Bureau of the Census. U.S. Census of Population: 1960. Subject Reports, Persons of Spanish Surname. Final Report PC(2)-1B. U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 1963.
Chapter Contents
This report, based on the 1960 Census of Population, presents data on the social and economic characteristics of the white population of Spanish surname in five Southwestern States - Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas. All the data are tabulated from the 25-percent sample. These statistics and similar data obtained in the 1950 Census were tabulated for the purpose of obtaining information on the Spanish-American and Mexican-American population in the designated States. The statistics on persons of Spanish mother tongue in the 1940 Census and on "Mexicans" in the 1930 Census were compiled for the same general purpose. Information presented in this report includes statistics on age, birthplace and parentage, residence in 1955, years of school completed, school enrollment, marital status, relationship to head of household, family type and composition, employment status, occupation, industry, income, hours worked in the reference week, and weeks worked in 1959.

Information on the population of Spanish surname for census tracts is presented in 1960 Censuses of Population and Housing, Census Tracts, Series PHC(1), for tracted areas in the specified five Southwestern States. Data include the number of such persons by nativity for each tract. Social and economic characteristics of persons of Spanish surname are shown for tracts with 400 or more such persons in tracted areas having 5,000 or more persons of Spanish surname. Persons of Spanish surname are also recognized as a separate ethnic group in several of the proposed PC(2) reports on such subjects as fertility, and educational attainment. Similar data for 1950 are published in 1950 Census of Population, Volume IV, Part 3, chapter C, Persons of Spanish Surname; Part 5, chapter B, Education; and Part 5, chapter C, Fertility.
Availability of Unpublished Data
For the five Southwestern States of Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas, photocopies of unpublished tabulations of social and economic characteristics of white persons of Spanish surname comparable to those published in Census Tracts, Series PHC(l), are available at cost for areas outside tracted areas for each ward in cities of 25,000 or more, urban place, minor civil division, and remainder of minor civil divisions containing urban places. For these same States, the data presented in this report in tables 1 to 8 are available on magnetic tape for the States, standard metropolitan statistical areas (SMSA's) of 250,000 or more by urban-rural residence, and for the nonmetropolitan balance of States by urban- rural residence. These data can be made available on a reimbursable basis. Inquiries concerning unpublished data should be addressed to the Bureau as soon as possible because tape files are not maintained indefinitely. Requests for unpublished data giving a specific description of the figures desired may be made in writing to the Chief, Population Division, Bureau of the Census, Washington, D.C., 20233.

Just wondering how many charity things you do,maybe you're expected to do because you're in some group or not ???

Just wondering how many charity things you do,maybe you're expected to do because you're in some group or not ???
I am chair of our guilds charity quilt committee. I make up pre-cut block kits, top kits; some pre-cut some not, & quilting kits. We have some long armers who like to do the quilting. There are even a few ladies who like to bind. I personally make about 18 tops a year. Occasionally I will make a quilt from beginning to through to the quilting. The guild provides the batting and most of the fabric is donated.
I've quilted about 10 quilts for Quilts of Valor. I started doing it for the experience, but it had gotten a bit expensive and demanding. I didn't feel really part of the process, and once the quilt was out of my hands and on its way, I had no idea where it ended up. Now I'm working with just one topper and I feel much more part of the process. She lets me know who gets the quilt and what their story is. I enjoy doing it, but the demand has gotten so great, it's hard to keep up. I've also quilted a couple baby quilts for various organizations. It can be rewarding, but I almost feel like, as a quilter, I get taken advantage of.
I made 3 lap quilts for one group this year and two wall hangings for 2 others. Don't know what I'll get done in 2013.
Our guild has a working day twice a month - they cut out kits that people can do from start to finish. They also have people who like to just do the tops, people who just want to do the quilting, and others who really like binding.
I've done quite a few start-to-finish. And I've been doing quite a few on the long-arm - I'm not quilting as a business (yet) and am happy to practice-practice-practice on these quilts. I hate hate hate binding, so I'm really tickled that I can just do the portions I have the most fun with.
The fabric for the quilts is donated, the guild buys the quite a bit of batting (the guild also asks for orphan pieces of batting, batting and patches them together for the comfort quilts).
Our quilt group makes quilts for Birthright, local nursing home & Project Linus. I make about 6-8 quilts per year plus many crocheted lap robes and shawls. Our group of about 30 donate over 100 quilts per year.
I have never (shame on me) made a quilt for charity. About one week ago, I got a package in the mail and inside is a pre-cut quilt. It says to sew it together and send it back by the end of the month. I don't know why I received this. I didn't sign up for it and don't want to do it. Does anyone want this? I will mail this to you free of charge. I think someone put my name in for this without my permission. It upset me that someone did this without my knowledge or consent. They don't know my workload or lifestyle. I am planning on sending it back with a note saying it was sent as a mistake.
I know, I should make one, but my plate is full right now and I couldn't get it done at the end of the month even if I wanted to. So, if anyone wants it, pm me. Otherwise, I'm sending it back. I'm planning on making some throws for the home down the street in our town of 800 people. They are counting on me for that. And that is not for a little while yet. I have a busy schedule right this minute.
I've made several dog quilts for a local animal shelter and a couple of tops that will go to local hospice when they've reached a finished products. I do this on my own when I feel the urge. All of the fabric have come to me inexpensively through garage sales and thrift shop leftovers. It's been a good way to use up fabric that would otherwise end up in a burn barrel or landfill and to practice quilting techniques.
I belong to two guilds and between the two, I work on 4 quilts a year for donating. We do kid quilts and wounded warriors. I enjoy giving and plan on giving one to the local animal shelter for them to raffle off. I love to hepe folks.

Finland urges EU to make hosting refugees a condition by development funds
Further conditions should be added to receipt of EU development funds in face of member states refusing to take in refugees as part of solidary quota relocation scheme, Finnish Finance Minister has suggested.
Reuters news agency reports that Eastern EU states, which are among the main beneficiaries of development funds, such as Poland and Hungary, have refused to accept migrants allocated to them under an EU quota scheme.
«If we want the EU and its financing to be fair, then we need to be able to discuss this … Our goal is that everyone should be jointly responsible [for the migration crisis]. If not, then you should not get the money,» Finnish Finance Minister Petteri Orpo evaluated in an interview with Reuters.
This week the governments of Hungary and Slovakia this week challenged the quota programme before the EU Court of Justice and the government of Poland has supported the claim.

It is easier to complain and fight against micro taxation than tackle the grey economics and fake tenders. If Latvia could reduce the shadow economy by 50% thete would not be reason for this whining. But top politicians don't have a backbone to fight against "big boys" because then the financing of own political career would be more difficult. Therefore back to first sentence.

Afloat at Shoreline Village
Dockside Boat & Bed • Long Beach, CA
Escape Kit
- A $200 Credit Toward a One-Night Stay for Two Aboard One of Five Yachts, Sundays through Thursdays (Pay $100)

A luxurious private yacht for two? Aye aye, cap'n. Hop aboard this Escape at Dockside Boat & Bed and you'll find your sea legs in no time.
In Long Beach's Rainbow Harbor, you'll have one of five stationary ships all to yourselves. Sunbathe on the deck or snuggle up inside and let the waves rock you to sleep.
You'll pick from one of five magnificent vessels, including the sleek 44-foot Sundancer, Obla De Obla Da, and the 54-foot Classic Stephens Motor, Crown Jewel—each fully operational boat is decked out with plush furnishings, kitchenette amenities, and everything else you'd find in a hotel suite. The galleys are provisioned with wine glasses, dinner plates, and silverware.
Wake up to the fresh sea air the next morning and enjoy a breakfast of pastries, fresh fruit, yogurt, and orange juice delivered to your door. You can take a whale-watching tour in the morning. Then, when your landlubber legs feel like making a trip ashore, try a Segway ride along the beach or stroll through nearby Shoreline Village before returning to the helm.
With no captain aboard, these ships are yours for the commandeering (well, from dockside, anyway). So take advantage of this deal while it's still ashore—it's a real treasure.

Buying private health insurance in Arizona can be pretty tricky, unless you visit someone like https://insurancequote.deals/arizona-health-insurance-quotes/. There are so many nooks and crannies in the realm of insurance that it might be difficult for first timers to identify whether or not they've got a good deal. If you want to make sure that the policy you get is the policy you need, read through these helpful pointers to guide you through the private health insurance acquisition process.
Tips on Getting Private Health Insurance in Arizona
- The Early Bird – Being early isn't only beneficial in the workplace or at school; getting your insurance coverage earlier than you need it will be the best decision you make in the process. If you thought you could make a claim right from the get go, you're mistaken. Insurance providers will have you wait a certain period of time before you can reap the benefits. During this time, you will be making monthly premium payments to earn your coverage. After a certain amount of time (usually anywhere between 2 months and 36 months) your insurance carrier will then allow you to make a claim. This waiting period is enforced to keep insurers from having to shell out cash for people who have yet to make premium payments.
- Your Deductibles – Decided to go with a lower premium now? That might seem like a smart idea if you want to set aside a few extra bucks, but remember, smaller premiums mean bigger deductibles. Let's say you were involved in an accident and you availed of the benefits your private health insurance in Arizona provides. With a lower premium, you can expect that coverage would only pay for up to a maximum of 60% of your hospital bill. The 40% has to come out of your own pocket. If you want to keep that 40% on the down low, you should opt to pay for a higher premium on a monthly basis, which can reduce deductibles to only 10%. Pay a little more today and save a whole lot tomorrow with bigger premiums.
- There are Annual Limits on Extras – So, you've got some extra coverage outlined in your policy. Don't think you can just keep on availing to your heart's desire. There are limits on extras, usually called annual limits, that state just how much your insurer will agree to pay for these extras in a year. Make sure you read up on your policy and the annual limits on extras before you go on a splurging spree you might end up having to pay for.
