Breast for Success is a new direct service program focused on overcoming barriers to breastfeeding for low-income inner-city mothers by use of a culturally competent and home-based educational and support intervention. Key project components include a new Enhanced Breastfeeding Curriculum with brief engaging health literacy focused modules, and two innovative support plans, the Breastfeeding Doula and Father Support Programs. The objective is to increase breastfeeding rates for high-risk inner-city mothers.
Research Questions to evaluate project feasibility and effectiveness are:
- Were all aspects of the Curriculum and Doula and Father Support Programs implemented?
- Is there an increase in the rate of any breastfeeding at 1 month postpartum for all mothers?
- Is there a difference in the rate of any breastfeeding at 1 month postpartum between interventions (Curriculum only, Curriculum+Doula Support, Curriculum+Father Support)?
- What are exclusive breastfeeding rates at 1, 3 and 6 months for all mothers?

Cheap materials, incorrect hardware, shoddy workmanship, you name it. When my friend contacted the seller to discuss the problems, the seller was quickly defensive and accused my friend of making threats. I would advise people not to buy from this seller on eBay.

Hans & Yvonne were great hosts and made us feel very welcome!
The breakfast was delicious and there was so much choice.
The b&b was located very near the tram stop to get to the centre of the city and it's in a nice, quiet area.

Would recommend staying here and would definitely visit again :)

I'm a second year home beekeeper with two hives. My inspection yesterday revealed one dead hive with 5 deep frames of capped honey and no bees. I plan on replacing the bees this spring but am not sure what to do with the honey. Ideas I have:
-harvest now but what to do with the wet frames
-save frames with honey for the next colony I introduce in a couple of months
-Give frames with honey or wet frames after harvesting to my remaining vibrant colony
All thoughts welcome.

This past weekend the Florida Rush U18 Nike team was invited to Bradenton, FL to play against the U17 Men's National Team in a friendly scrimmage. Knowing that the team must come dialed in and prepared to play when opportunities like this are presented, Head Coach Nate Omodt made sure his team showed up ready to win.
Starting the match at a high tempo, Florida Rush quickly put the U17's under pressure and in the 14th minute of the game, center mid Zack Reynolds followed up on a loose ball inside the 6 yard box and placed a perfect shot into the side of the net. Working off of the momentum of a 1-0 lead, Florida Rush struck again in the 26th minute when Felipe Oliveira ripped a shot from 20 yards out that deflected off the crossbar and landed in the back of the net. Rush lead 2-0 at half. In the 2nd half Florida Rush continued playing strong and the game went back and forth with both teams having chances, but ultimately Rush would win the game 2-0.
"Most of these players have been playing together since they were 13 years old, so the team chemistry is excellent," says Florida Rush President Richie Gray. "Add to that they've been touched by some of our best coaches over the years including Erick Garcia at (U13-14), Marcos Machado at (U15-16) and Nate Omodt at (U17-18) it's been exciting to watch this team grow and have so much success in their senior years. We're very supportive of player movements, rotating coaches and developing talent from within the club, so this group is a great example to show that home grown talent can compete to win on the national stage."
Since winning the 2010 Disney Soccer Showcase, the Florida Rush U18's have also won the 2011 Florida State Cup, 2011 USYS Region III Championship, 2011 Region III Premier League and 2011 Disney Showcase Championship to be back-to-back champions. Currently they are competing in 2012 Florida State Cup and have already qualified for the 2012 USYS Region III Championship with a goal to be the US Youth Soccer National Champions in 2012.

Nisswa teen crowned Miss Central Lakes Outstanding Teen
A Nisswa teen was crowned Miss Central Lakes Outstanding Teen on Sunday, Jan. 6.
Lizzy Thurlow, 15, the daughter of Marie "Mimi" and the late Scott "Mike" Thurlow, received the honor at the Chalberg Theatre at Central Lakes College in Brainerd.
Sage Hovet, the daughter of Randy and JoAnn Hovet, was first runner-up.
Also Sunday, Serena Schreifels, 16, was crowned Miss Brainerd Lakes Outstanding Teen. She succeeds Bailey Wachholz of Nisswa, who went on to be crowned Miss Minnesota's Outstanding Teen.
Catie Kleindl was named first runner-up in the Miss Brainerd Lakes teen pageant and won the talent portion of the contest, playing the clarinet. Karrina Myhre won the Spirit Award, where contestants chose the teenager who brought the most energy and fun to the pageant experience.
"The Brainerd/Central Lakes Outstanding Teen Pageant was a memorable experience, from being crazy in the changing rooms, to looking fabulous on stage," Thurlow said. "My favorite part was being able to meet all the amazing young ladies I was competing against. They were all well rounded, beautiful representatives in my eyes."
Thurlow said emcee Tess Taylor had a "grand delay" in announcing the winner, making it suspenseful. But she was also in awe and shed tears of joy when she heard her name, she said.
"I also loved performing my realistic horse noise on stage. The reaction I got was quite humorous," Thurlow said.
Her platform is Building Healthy Hearts: Heart Disease Awareness.
"I expect to get my platform out and to help many become heart healthy," she said.
Thurlow looks forward to her first event with Schreifels as queens — the Brainerd Jaycees $150,000 Ice Fishing Extravaganza on Saturday, Jan. 19.
Also competing in the Miss Central Lakes Outstanding Teen Pageant were Mariah Fitch and Mia Pagnac. Other Miss Brainerd Lakes Outstanding Teen contestants were Samantha Selter and Kaelyn Spencer.
Both programs are part of the Miss Minnesota and Miss America Scholarship organizations.
Miss Brainerd Lakes pageants are open to all girls from the Brainerd, Pequot Lakes, Pillager and Crosby-Ironton school districts. The Miss Central Lakes pageant is open to any girl within the state of Minnesota who qualifies under the Miss America Scholarship Organization.
Contestants competed in lifestyle and fitness in active wear, talent, evening gown and on-stage question in the pageant. Each queen receives a $500 college scholarship and first runners-up receive $200 college scholarships, among other prizes.
The Miss Brainerd Lakes Princesses are Chandler Niemeyer, daughter of Corby and Shelia Niemeyer; Andreen Jenson, daughter of Arnold and Cheryl Jenson; Gabby Miller, daughter of Terina Miller; and Emma and Mackenzie Gropper, daughters of Paul and Melissa Gropper.

I spent 4 days in Paris, arriving there on November the 18th.
The apartment went far beyond what we expected. Warm, practical and extremely good located, this place has all the perfect conditions to stay. We only took a bus once because everything is reachable by walking.
The owner is fantastic and he solved the issues we had with the wifi.
I won't hesitate to come here again my next trip to Paris. Thanks a lot.
We arrived at the airport on the day of the taxi strike in June. We felt so panicked, being new to Paris! We called Gwenael for help. He told us which bus to take to the center of Paris. He told us to call for more directions when we arrived by bus. Then he explained which subway to ride and how to get to this very centrally-located apartment. A friend of his met us there and let us in the apartment.
The location of the apartment is perfect! I'm so happy that we stayed here! It is true that the apartment is very small, but it does have everything one needs. The sofa bed is quite comfy. More towels would be nice. There weren't many bath towels. The apartment is very clean, but the balcony could be cleaner. Also, we were there during a heat wave. It's very hot during the day. A fan is in the room, but it didn't work well.
Our overall experience here was awesome! We would stay here again! All in all? We loved this apartment! Thanks so much, Gwenael!!!!
Roz Boatman
This was a well fitted out apartment in a very convenient part of Paris although the building itself is showing its age. The sofa-bed was very comfortable and a breeze to stow away for the day.
A wonderful welcome and a follow throughout my stay. Superb small but perfect apartment, a great location in Paris! I highly recommend this apartment.
Un accueil formidable et un suivi tout au long de mon séjour. Appartement superbe petit mais parfait, une situation dans Paris formidable! Je vous recommande vivement cet appartement.
We enjoyed our stay. Location was excellent. Initially thought the apartment was (and is) very small but we got used to it and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Wifi very good.
Apartment is very nice and clean. It is newly renovated. Everything you need is available. The kitchenette is very well equipped, also the bathroom. The location is very central.
Apartment ist sehr schön und sauber. Es ist neu renoviert. Alles, was man braucht ist vorhanden. Die Küchenzeile ist sehr gut ausgestattet, ebenfalls das Bad. Die Lage ist sehr zentral.
The location is good, the apartment is well equipped, a list of instructions for the appliances and phone would have been helpful and in other places I have stayed there is usually some information on the area and a map as well as appliance instructions, as it was my 10th visit to Paris I knew my way, but for new visitors, information would be helpful. The armchair and desk chair made the place look shabby and the apartment is small, but that is not unusual for Paris.
Mr. Rocher is a charm, and porters of the property as well. The location is unbeatable and the apartment a delight. All perfectly equipped. Surely, if I return to Paris, I will.
El Sr. Rocher es un encanto, y los porteros de la propiedad lo mismo. La ubicación es inmejorable y el apartamento una delicia. Todo perfectamente equipado. Sin duda, si vuelvo a París, volveré.
We had a wonderful stay in Paris. The flat had pretty much everything you could imagine and appreciate for your daily needs. It was clean and new. The building is an old hotel, very quiet and absolutely safe, since there´s a concierge 24/7. Because of the central location we could reach all the sightseeings very easily as well as it was the perfect starting point for shopping tours...We even had the opportunity to have a quick look in the other appartments, which are very nice too. We´ll be back soon and will than again be staying in one of Gwenaels appartments for sure!
I do not know the host, but the person we accompanied APARTMENT WAS VERY CORRECT.
THE switchgear IS VERY WELL AND WELL LOCATED

E-mail chain letters violate UTSA, UT System policy
By Alex Morones
OIT Technical Writer/Editor
(Aug. 10, 2005)--Recently a number of chain letters have been sent through the UTSA e-mail system. Although senders are often well intentioned, UTSA e-mail users should be aware that forwarding chain letters is a violation of UTSA and UT System policy and it can pose various problems.
According to the UTSA Office of Information Technology, UTSA community members must follow certain e-mail usage guidelines and standards. Often messages sent through chain letters are hoaxes (ex. "Bill Gates will send you money."), scams to take your money (ex. "Help me retrieve money from a secret African bank account."), misguided pleas for help (ex. "Collect aluminum can tops for dialysis patients.") or traditional "good-luck" messages (ex. "Don't break this chain!").
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
In each of these cases, not only do chain e-mail messages clog in-boxes and burden the UTSA e-mail system, they also have the potential to introduce viruses to the UTSA network or to your home PC.
UTSA policies and standards specifically address the transmission of chain letters and other unwanted material. It is strictly prohibited to send unauthorized e-mail messages to all or large parts of the UTSA community (known as "broadcast messages").
Continued abuse of the e-mail system may subject faculty members, staff or students to disciplinary action. If you receive a chain letter -- delete it.
For more information, contact the OIT Help Desk at (210) 458-5538.

Former Reading man, Ariel Castro, arraigned in Cleveland kidnappings, held on $8M bond
Suspect spent part of childhood in Reading in early 1970s
CLEVELAND - Before Ariel Castro became known as the alleged Cleveland abductor, his roots ran deep in Berks County.
Castro, 52, grew up in the early 1970s with his family in Reading. His childhood home was 435 North 2nd St.
"Every single day out here, all the kids played together. We played kick the can when there were still bricks here on the sidewalk," said Joe Gonzalez, who's grandmother lived directly across the street from the Castro family.
Gonzalez can remember playing outside with Castro. His uncle went to school with him, and he immediately recognized his mug shot. On Wednesday night, he sent Joe a text message after putting the pieces together.
"Hey, it's Uncle Louie. You know those idiots in Cleveland that held those girls? They lived across the street from us on 2nd Street," Gonzalez said, as he read the text aloud.
According to the city directory, the Castros lived in Reading in 1970 and 1971. Castro was about 9-years-old at that time.
No one answered Castro's old door Thursday.
After Amanda Berry, Michelle Knight and Gina Dejesus were finally freed, their nightmare gripped the nation. Now, it hits closer to home for Yvett Colon.
"Definitely, I imagine [him walking the streets] and maybe thinking about what he was going to do when he was old, because people like that, for me, are born sick," said Colon, who moved onto North 2nd about three years ago.
Francisco Castro has lived in the city for about 30 years and thinks he may be related to the suspect. He said he was born in the same town in Puerto Rico, and he lost touch with family in Cleveland. Related or not, he said Castro needs to pay.
"That was a terrible crime. I feel sorry for all the families of the people," said Castro.
Castro lived in the home with his parents and two brothers. Pedro and Onil were released from custody Thursday, and they were not charged in this case.
Ariel Castro is being held on $8 million bond.
In the four cases -- one case for each alleged victim -- Castro faces a total of four counts of kidnapping and three counts of rape. Under state law, any restraint on "the liberty of the other person" can be considered kidnapping, which would allow prosecutors to bring the charge in the case of Berry's child.
Uncut video: Ariel Castro arraignment
"Today, the situation has turned, your honor," Murphy said. "Mr. Castro stands before you as a captive. The women are free to resume their lives that were interrupted."
Castro, handcuffed and wearing a blue jail jumpsuit, looked down through the entire hearing. He did not speak.
An apparent suicide note believed to have been written in 2004 by Castro refers to a relative abusing him in the past, a high-ranking law-enforcement source said Thursday.
Investigators found the note in Castro's home in Cleveland, where police said three kidnapped women were held for years against their will. Prosecutors have charged Castro with kidnapping and rape in the case.
The three women and a child were rescued Monday after, according to a neighbor, screams came from the home. Charles Ramsey and Angel Cordero said they responded to the screaming by helping to kick in a door to help Amanda Berry escape. Berry then called 911, bringing to the home police, who found Georgina "Gina" DeJesus and Michelle Knight, and Berry's 6-year-old daughter inside.

Recovering from the crash
BRISTOL, Tenn./Va. - The investigation continues after a deadly crash last Friday on State Street. The man believed to be responsible for the crash died...and an innocent bystander was seriously hurt.
33-year-old Michael Brabson, who says he's homeless right now, was sitting in his parked car. He says he was using the Wi-Fi on State Street. Just seconds later everything changed, right in front of his eyes.
Brabson said, "I looked up because I heard a screech. I looked up and I saw the car coming at me. He was going too fast for me to even think about moving."
Brabson was sitting in his parked van on the 600 block of State Street, when he watched another car slam into him. Police say the other driver was traveling around 75 miles per hour.
The driver of the car was William Marcella, who died in the crash. Michael Brabson said he thought he was going to die too, "I don't know where I'd be right now. I'd probably be where the guy who hit me is right now, I'm pretty grateful."
Brabson says after the crash he couldn't get out of his car. The doors were smashed and his left leg wasn't moving, "it was the most terrifying moment I've ever gone through."
Rehab is set for Brabson to help with recovery after a broken leg, blood transfusion and multiple bruises.
"I can't wait to get that done so I can walk and carry on my daily activities again," said Brabson.

Story of an Annoying Friend
So I play this game casually with a bunch of friends together, and I'm going to be honest, none of us are particularly that good. One of my friends started experimenting with Isaac and found that spamming that mine thing and his square gun thing in a corner work really well together. What is a good counter for this? I really want to beat his arse into the ground.
Patches the Hyena (Dark/Demon's Souls) for All-Stars! His level three could have the player leave the match, enter a random match, and get one-hit-one-kill's on everybody! xD
Re: Story of an Annoying Friend
You have some option depending on the character you are playing and the map. If its the map, you can leave im alone in his corner so if he cant hit anybody, no ap for him and he will stop camping behing his mine. You can also jump behind him and grab him out of his corner while hes shooting, the neutral square shooting move is easily punishable. You can also destroy the mine, theres a lot of move that destroy the mine without you getting hit by the mine which ppl dont realize. You can always use ranged character and throw projectile, its a good way too.
And the RUN DOOM post is funny, but not very helping lol. Hope i helped you out.
Main: Toro
Other: Kratos, Parappa, Heihachi & Sly
English is not my main language, so im sorry about my mistakes.
Re: Story of an Annoying Friend
Re: Story of an Annoying Friend[ Edited ]
Counter-pick with Zeus and spam his super armor electricity, preferably from above until he switches strategy.
Edit: Or with Kratos and destroy his mine with your square moves, and keep him on the ground with a.d.1.
Re: Story of an Annoying Friend
Re: Story of an Annoying Friend[ Edited ]
I find Sir Dan extremely effective against Isaac's detonator. Use his fire (down circle) in the air, and it destroys it, plus for period of time, as long as the fire is up, he can't place another down there. The axe (neutral triangle) and skull (forward circle) also do a decent job at destroying the detonator. Yet another thing to do is once you are above it and coming down, do down square and swipe at it. Not only does this destroy the mine, but it knocks him down if he's in the way, and you can work from there.


text: I tell people that I "used to go to Montreal all the time," but the truth is that I've only been there twice. I guess I'm just a tremendous bullshit artist. Either that and/or I lived so hard on those short trips that I felt like a frequent flyer. My first adventure was freshman year in college, when, along with four friends, I was stopped by the border patrol. My buddy Reed thought it would be a sweet idea to wear a football helmet to the customs drive-thru, and the Canadians – having no doubt that we were wicked stoned, I'm sure – pulled us over. I hid an eighth of weed in my crack that day, and after two hours of feeling like I had a concrete dump in my pants, I realized I would have been toast if they'd introduced a dog into the equation. Luckily, they didn't -- and we were free to roll about and frolic. On my second trip to Montreal, two years later, I ran into no such border problems. However, I did come face to face with a treacherous blizzard that added a death-defying dynamic as well as about five extra hours to the trip from upstate New York. As is probably the case with most voyages to Montreal, the slog was made worthwhile when we got to watch a stripper light her crotch on fire and extinguish it with my friend's hat. Oh yeah – the reason I'm telling you this: today I'm taking a bus up to Montreal, where I've been tapped to cover Jazz Fest (or Festival International de Jazz de Montreal, as they say). Have no fear, though: I'm not pretending to be some jazz aficionado. I like jazz as much as the next person who can't really tell you why they do or don't like jazz but pretends to understand it because (a) you're supposed to, and (b) doing otherwise displays an ignorance to the fact that much of hip-hop was directly inspired by and/or jacked from jazz musicians. My ignorance in this case is nearly acceptable, though, as there will be plenty of music that I do actually get. Montreal Jazz Fest is to jazz what South by Southwest is to indie rock: it used to be all about it, but these days there's plenty for a hip-hop head to chew on. Sure, since I'll be bugged on mushrooms for most of my stay, I'll spend hours marinating at outdoor jazz shows. But for the most part I'll be checking whatever hip-hop angled or crazy eclectic shit that I can find. Well, that and strip clubs.Hopefully by the time you read this I'll be in Montreal, though you can never be too sure. If ever there was a sign of how superficially pious and even downright masochistic American and Canadian societies truly are, it's how guards on both sides of the border are loath to hear that you went abroad to party. For some reason, "Going to ogle salami nipples and drink Molson Export" doesn't always qualify as an acceptable reason for travel. Fortunately, I suspect I'll have no problems this time: I'm a credentialled "reporter"! I may come back a degenerate first and journalist second, but so far my priorities are still in order. So far.

The mystery of James Joseph Murphy is SOLVED! A million thanks to Ken W. who located the marriage record of Margaret Richards and James Joseph Murphy. This marriage record was found at Family Search and is the glue to all the questionable details that were lingering about. I stopped using the Family Search website about a year ago; it was complicated and I couldn't figure out where to find actual sources-just other people's trees. (suppose I should give it another try)
I can't wait to continue researching my 2nd great grandfather! Here's what I know of him so far:
Born 1 January 1881 in England to William Murphy (Irish) and Katherine Aspery (English). James had nine siblings, of those were two older brothers, John and William, and two younger twin sisters, May and Sarah. The remaining 5 siblings are unknown. The oldest child, William Murphy, immigrated to America in 1891. His parents and siblings came one year later and settled in Mercer County, Pennsylvania. According to the 1900 census, all the men of working age in the household had been unemployed for six months.
James Joseph Murphy married Margaret "Maggie" Richards on 17 August 1903 in Mahoning County, Ohio (even though they still lived in Pennsylvania). James and Maggie's marriage date is one year after the birth of their first child, Pearl. Scandalous! It looks as though there was some fibbing on the 1910 census to make it look like they had been married longer.
James died 30 May 1917 at Youngstown's Saint Elizabeth Hospital of Typhoid Fever. He was buried on 2 June 1917 in Sharon, Pennsylvania. The informant for the death record was John J. Davis of Sharon, PA (possibly a brother-in-law).
My new wish list for James Joseph Murphy:
1. Burial location and headstone photo
2. Obituary (need to search Mercer County libraries)
3. Death dates & burial locations for his parents and siblings
4. Immigration records
5. Birth city

GVSU Internships, Other Field Placements up 40 percent, Says President
GVSU Internships, Other Field Placements up 40 percent, Says President
January 08, 2013/MLive
By Shandra Martinez
GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- Educational experiences outside the classroom are a key way Grand Valley State University prepares students for their careers, says GVSU president Thomas J. Haas.
Last year, GVSU's 25,000 students participated in nearly 7,100 experiential learning opportunities, whether that was field placements, practicums, clinical rotations, student teaching or cooperative education.
Those experiences had a direct correlation to GVSU graduates not only landing jobs after graduation but finding employment close to home. Nearly 90 percent of graduates go onto graduate school or have jobs, with 84 percent of the latter landing jobs in Michigan. Those statistics reflect that GVSU has been a longtime leader in experiential learning.

After reading MLive's recent series on how internships have become an important economic development tool for the state in attracting and retaining skilled workforce, Haas wanted to highlight the efforts of GVSU.
In a column for MLive, Haas elaborates on how the university's partnership with companies is part of an intentional strategy to educate students for Michigan's future needs.
By Thomas J. Haas
For years, we've known that Michigan employers place a high value on internship and experiential learning. A recent survey of our state's top companies shows that field experience may be among the best qualifications a prospective employee can bring to a job interview. At Grand Valley State University, we've helped more of our students to be ready for that important day; since 2005, field placements have grown by nearly 40 percent.
Experiential learning includes internships, field placements, practicums, clinical rotations, student teaching, and cooperative education. In the last academic year, our 25,000 students participated in nearly 7,100 experiential learning opportunities. The tie to employment success is apparent: of our most recent graduates, 89 percent are employed or attending graduate school; of those employed, 84 percent are working in Michigan.
The best internship programs occur at universities that have created infrastructure and culture that support experiential learning. Grand Valley's partnerships with employers began with the founding of the university and remain an intentional strategy in shaping talent for Michigan's future needs.
I believe our support systems are second to none. We've developed our own Internship Management System that tracks and evaluates for-credit internship activity. This system makes it easier for employers to match with students and for students to earn credit and oftentimes a salary.
Unpaid internships that provide intensive work experience are an important component of experiential learning. At Grand Valley, we encourage this kind of opportunity by making cash awards to selected students. In the past five years, we've made awards totaling more than $55,000.
We seek constant feedback from the employers that host our students to ensure that we're providing the background that job providers seek. Grand Valley also partners with area chambers of commerce to provide employer training on how to hire and host interns; in this way, we help to expand the number of opportunities available to our students.
Students pursuing field experience have the opportunity to make an impression on their host. By demonstrating critical thinking, reasoning skill, and the ability to work in teams, students have a leg up on job openings at the organizations that have hosted their internship.
It's a two-way test drive –- employers are able to evaluate the student while the student learns whether the organization is one they'd like to join. I'm proud that Grand Valley has been a longtime and successful leader in experiential learning. Given its increased importance, prospective students would do well to add internship capabilities to the list of the qualities they consider when deciding where to go to college.

It is a one-storey house with a total size of 250 m2. It has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The accommodation is perfect for families with children or groups of friends who are planning a relaxing holiday. Two of the three bedrooms are furnished with double beds; the third has two single beds. There are 2 bathrooms: one with bathtub and one with shower. There is no AC, but we can provide you fans on request.
The finca has a rustic and cosy atmosphere. The rooms have been lovingly decorated with many details and make it easy for you to feel at home. The living room with three sofas invites you to relax with a good book, watching satellite TV or a DVD, surfing the internet (WIFI), or listening music. During cool autumn nights the fireplace conjures up a homely atmosphere in the living room. The kitchen is spacious and provides you with everything you need on holiday: microwave, coffee maker, vitro ceramic hob, cutlery, cooking utensils, fridge and a dishwasher. Of course, there is a washing machine, an iron and ironing board in the house. For the little ones a high chair is available. The dining area has a table and chairs for six people.
On the porch you will find a chill-out area with wicker chairs and a table. It is decorated with many details like plants and old craft items. Also you can organize a barbecue with the whole family. From the veranda you can overlook the 7 x 4 m private pool. There is also an outdoor shower where you can rinse off easily after a bath. All Sun worshipers can get comfortable on one of the four sun loungers. There is also a parasol available.
The house is situated on the outskirts of Buger. There is a neighbour about 50 yards from the house, but you cannot see from the outside of the garden and pool because the property is well protected at the sides by hedges and a small stone wall.
In Búger you will find a supermarket, a few small restaurants, a bank and a bakery. The town of Sa Pobla is only 10 minutes by car. On Sunday you can visit the market there where you can also purchase eggs from the region and clothing as well as fresh fruits and vegetables. The historic town of Pollença is also within easy reach by car and is well worth a visit. The small cobbled streets with small shops, restaurants and cafes invite you to linger. Visit the little church "Calvari", from where you have a panoramic view over the countryside and the town. You can reach this church climbing 365 steps - but well worth the effort.
In 20 minutes by car you can reach the sandy beach of Capellans / Can Picafort. The sandy beach invites you for sunbathing. On this beach is also a very good paella restaurant with stunning views to the sea. In Can Picafort you can find a wide selection of restaurants and supermarkets. The lively beach promenade contrasts with the relatively quiet area of Playa de Muro.

Cree's Bees
We prefer MegaBee over BeePro for the winter. I observed that the bees seem to like it better.
If you're talking about the Dadant winter patties with Megabee and Honey bee healthy, my bees seem to really like them. This is the first year I've used them and I'll not be making candy, or buying fondant, again after this experience. They are easy to use and I think they are no more money than the alternatives.
I'am feeding them at this time and the bees are really going after them.

text: I need to order about 10 solid bottom boards and really like Brushy Mountain's solid cyprus bottom boards however, shipping is killing me. So, I ordered a couple 10-frame solid bottom boards from Mann Lake. They came in a few days ago and look to be very nicely made but my question is about the actual bottom of the bottom board, it is made of what looks like a nice quality 3/4" birch plywood. I haven't had very good luck with nucs made from plywood, it seems like no matter how good of a coat of paint that you apply to the ends, the plys always seem to pull apart. Im thinking about biting the shipping bullet and ordering my other 8 bottom boards from Brushy Mountain, has anyone been using Mann Lakes solid bottom boards for more than 5 years with good results?

I think that in a way the show failed this gun. I dont think it really showed just how big of a deal and just how game changing this gun could really be. Great job Red Jacket!
Will, sorry for all the problems/stress that you had with getting the prototype completed and tested, but dang bro that is one sweet AR!!!!!! I'm an AK/Saiga guy, and I want one so bad now that I'm dreaming about it. That truly is one fine looking, and obviously running, carbine.
Haven't gone to look at your site yet to see what info is available, or if it's even available to the general public yet, but I'm sure it's out of my current price range. I'll have to sell off a few out of the collection first, I'm sure. I hope you sell a million of them though. Military contract would be awesome. I'm sure the boys in the sandbox could use a nice weapon like that. BIG difference from the old A1 that I carried back in '82.
Keep up the great work!
Enforcement, NOT Amnesty!!!!!!
"If theyre going to come here illegally, apply for & receive assistance through a corrupted Government agency encouraging this lawless behavior, work under the table & send billions of dollars each year back to their families in Mexico, while bleeding local economies dry, protest in our streets waving their Mexican flags DEMANDING rights, while I have to press 1′ for English, then they need to be shipped back to where they came from!" -Chad Miller

Thanks guy's , it's a damn solid rifle . We've had it on our website for a couple months now , it's moving pretty good .
I watched the show, except for all of the interruptions from wife/kids...
I get all of the drama, and I get the whole presentation side of it.
What I do not get is the hydraulic buffer being so important.
Someone please school me on this....I think they are great, but I always looked at this item as a nice to have, not a got to have....What am I missing here?????
Will? Need some instruction here...
Imagine whirled peas
Peace, Love, And Superior Firepower
Hi Will,
Thanks, now it makes all the sense in the world. The Piston guns have a faster unlock and rearward acceleration for the bolt / bolt carrier. So the hydraulic buffer is the only way to slow the cycle down to something normal without having to mess with buffer weight or spring tension which would in turn affect accuracy and overall weight / balance.
Is that about right?
I am still arguing DI vs. Piston in my head, so the schooling helps...
Imagine whirled peas
Peace, Love, And Superior Firepower
Thanks Will,
Me and a buddy got into a heat arguement about the buffer after seeing the episode. I said it was because of the conversion and he swore it was just hollywood bs.
Got him on this one, lmao!
Oh, love the show, bruh!

What do you get when you cross a taco with a crocodile? A tacodile, of course! If you see shrimpanzees swinging from trees and cheesespiders crawling underfoot, you must have entered the wacky world of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2.
"The concept of 'foodimals' is so much fun," Anna Faris told TFK. She voices Sam Sparks, the peppy reporter. "We've created a whole new world where food is now moving and becoming recognizable animals. I think kids will enjoy exploring this huge universe of strange animals that the characters encounter."
Flint vs. Foodimals
When we last left Flint Lockwood, he had destroyed his FLDSMDFR, a machine that turns water into food. The sequel begins 60 seconds after that.
Flint, along with everyone else from Swallow Falls, has left the island and moved to the city. He takes a job with world-famous inventor Chester V. Everything is great until Chester tells Flint that the FLDSMDFR was never entirely destroyed. It is creating strange, food-animal combinations that have taken over the island. Flint gathers his friends and sets out to destroy the machine once and for all.
"Kids dug Jurassic Park and there's an element of that movie in it," says Benjamin Bratt. He voices Manny the cameraman. "Once Flint and his friends enter the world of these food hybrids, they don't know what awaits them around the next corner."
Will they run into a Meatbalrus? That's a breadstick-tusked meatball with thin pasta whiskers and bow-tie pasta feet. Or will they come across a watermelephant? Keep your eyes peeled because there are 39 foodimals to discover in all.
No Place Like Home
While creating food-creatures was fun, the directors realized they needed something to hold the story together and move the plot along. That's why they added an extra layer to Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2. Underneath all the zaniness, the movie explores the meaning of home and friendship.
"All of our characters have become fish out of water in a bigger world," says Kris Pearn, one of the directors of Cloudy 2. "Their journey is really a journey to discover the answer to the question: What is home?" (For more with Pearn and co-director Cody Cameron, click here for a Q&A.)
Bill Hader voices Flint Lockwood. He adds: "Flint has a choice between going with his friends or going with Chester V, who is his hero. His alliances are kind of split."
The super-sized sequel to Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs hits theaters on September 27. Will you come back for seconds?
Below, watch Amelia interview Cloudy 2 stars Bill Hader, Anna Faris, Terry Crews and Andy Samberg. For more, click here to watch Amelia make foodimals with a chef and click here to read an interview with the film's directors.

Nice. I've been trying to get more into it and try to practice more and get better, but it's difficult to do while still focusing on school.
To some people music is what they listen to in their car from point a to point b... others, its simply to dance to... me, its a large part of my life and was a common ground for most of the people ive become great friends with over the past 25 years...
But how can it be wrong? They heard it. They enjoyed it. By your definition, it is quality to them. Unless you deny the possibility of each person to have their own ability to gauge quality. You are the Only One who can.
I will say that the game Rocksmith is a really helpful tool for people who already know how to play to get better at it.
See, this shows that you put more value on music than just the sound of it and whether you enjoy it. Remove yourself from the statement and read it again. Look at that reflexive hatred of "hipsters", despite no one having brought it up. Look at the details you provided to this Other. There is obvious resentment of this fictional construct, and it is based on his presumed musical preferences. That's fascinating to me.
Damn, I am really out of the loop when it comes to rock. I thought it would never happen, but I was a child of the 80's and started high school in 1990 and graduated from college in 1999.
That was just an amazing time for rock (if you don't know why I feel sad for you). I was also raised by my parents on classic rock from the 60's and 70's.
Anyway, of all the bands listed I have heard of very few and have only heard music from the Foo Fighters which formed in 1994, and just recently announced they are "taking a break" for an unspecified amount of time......so I don't really consider them as "current" as the other bands.
Around 1997 or 1998 "new rock" played on the radio just started to suck for the most part (talking about the new bands coming out, not the ones like Foo Fighters etc.). So, at some point I said frick it and just started listening to classic rock radio and all my old CD's (yes I bought over 500 CD's in the late 80's and throughout the 90's).
So I just listened to The Gaslight Anthem song - "45" on Youtube and while not a bad song, I found with just one listen nothing particularly original or different about the song. Just sounded like most of the generic songs I've heard from time to time over the last 10 years or so.
So frick me, I'm only 36 and really enjoy rock music. I tried to like the "indie rock" for a while (Modest Mouse, Built To Spill, etc.) but I just can't force myself to enjoy music I don't like.
I realized I have rambled on here and if you've read this much try and help this old man (when you are 36 you won't feel that old, trust me) find some good new rock. List the best songs you can think of and not just throw out band names. Try and pick songs that are "original", "different", etc. I will listen to suggestions and try to get into "new rock" again. Thanks.
The Sword
I'm not really much of a metal fan, but I frickin love The Sword
I do draw the line with some metal though. If the singer grunts or growls, I'm out.
Circa Survive
Porcupine Tree
Fair to Midland
Murder By Death
Team Sleep
Sports and music are totally different though. People don't always root for the best teams/players (e.g. Ole Miss fans). They have a wide variety of reasons to root for certain teams. In music, why would your favorite be anything other than what you think is the best or what you enjoy the most?
Plus in sports there are objective measures than can pretty much prove who the better player/team is. That isn't the case for music.

I'd like to know what my readers think about this. Should Black People be drawn to this movement? Should we consider Black unemployment rates and how many Blacks were affected by the housing crisis (Ponzi Scheme/Gambling in my opinion.) as motivation? Here are a few recent takes on it.
More African Americans Encouraged to Join Occupy Movement – Washington Informer
Occupy protesters eye diversity as movement grows – Boston Globe
Occupy Wall Street Is About African–Americans, Too – News One
What do you think?
Bonus Question: Is it just me or does the lack of Tea Party involvement or even a thumbs-up or two in the direction of the protesters make it seem even more as if they are the Party of the Rich and of Tax Loopholes? Oh my bad "Job Creators". LOL! Don't you love it when people try to reclaim and rename what is and has always been. No no, not slave owners…"Antebellum Job Creators". Sad.

PlayBook: Death In The Meadowlands
Football season is upon us which means the gambling season is too. And The PlayBook has all your Week One lines and picks.
Slow starts have never been something taken in stride by the kind of hopeless and surly drunks who bet heavily on professional football games in September, the ugly and half-dumb swine who feast on the dead and sit in dark, dirty gambling circles on eerily calm and quiet moonless nights in the Meadowlands.
Ah yes, I remember now: we are gambling people and we do decidedly strange things. It's a cannibal culture where no one win is ever that important, no team is sacred and we live life on the edge in a constant and costly state of catlike readiness, always dancing in time to a feverish beat. It's a shady, fast-paced world full of wily and wild whores always looking to fleece fresh rubes just for the fuck of it, people who never think twice about any one wager and always come out on top, at least 10 points ahead. Indeed: we are a fast people living in faster times, and speed usually kills when the Cowboys and Giants collide for another midweek thriller in the deep swampy marsh of the new MetLife stadium, somewhere just to the southeast of the city that never sleeps.
Ho ho! And how's that for hyperbole? We in what we like to call The Business are fond of overemphasis, particularly if it proves a point, today's being that gamblers will make fast times out of anything, even some of sports' seedier endeavors, like bloody backwater land-beaver wrestling in closed out topless bars in Punxsutawney or total bummer games like Wednesday's NFL opener in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
The Cowboys-Giants rivalry is well known to us and it was hyped to all kinds of extremes in our little close-quartered corner of the world: it was supposed to be one of those full-time electric, heart-stopping humdingers, or so said the queer little man in the television, but it was a bona fide big market flop, like watching woodchucks slowly gnaw at your arm for eight or nine hours at a time. The whole first half amounted to little more than a 7-3 score and dragged on at such a petty pace that half the gambling community doubled down just to see if they'd swing the action, but by the time the game finally picked up we were all stone-drunk, hooting and hollering at the moon and in no mood to make good on our bets.
Which is bad news for anyone making a living at this, but good news for us; the football season starts anew this Sunday and it's time to get down and dirty with all sorts of hardline and hell-bent bad decisions. Hot damn! It's football season again, which means we can finally get back to business. Let the great fleecing begin:
Pittsburgh (+2) over Denver
Remember that time that 36-year-old quarterback came back from having his neck literally soldered on four times in 12 months and lit up one of the league's best defenses in his first live game action in over a year? Neither do we.
Philadelphia (-8.5) over Cleveland
The first of many safe bets against Brandon Weeden and the Browns.
Tampa Bay (+2.5) over Carolina
Anyone expecting the air 'em out offense of Bucs teams past can forget it; the days of four-receiver sets featuring one and a half wide receivers, two thirds of a tight end and a suspiciously mobile pylon are over. This team's ground and pound with a flash of play action and will be more middle of the pack than bottom of the barrel. Two and a half points against the Panthers is a gamble, but what the fuck are we doing here, right?
San Diego (+1) over Oakland
Once Oakland gets back to playing at 100 percent they could turn into one of the better teams in the league, but banged up, there are some holes, and the Chargers have something to prove.
Arizona (+3) over Seattle
Marshawn Lynch's back spasms plus a rookie QB throwing to Sidney Rice and Golden Tate? We'll reluctantly take John Skelton and the points and never speak of this again.
New England (-5.5) over Tennessee
Titans wideout and multiple felon (not in that order) Kenny Britt has already managed to get himself suspended for the season opener, which leaves a confusing jumble of talent to waddle through whatever mess of third-rate wide receivers and Olympic sprinters the Patriots decide to trot out on their secondary. With him, the Titans might have kept it close (probably not); without him, and even up against a virtually nonexistent defense, they've got no chance of keeping up with the Brady Bunch.
Buffalo (+3) over New York
An unstable, mutinous team deploying a highly suspect and untested offense against what just might be one of the best new defenses in the league. (Thinking.)
Chicago (-9.5) over Indianapolis
Roll right. Roll right! ROLL RIGHT!
Detroit (-7) over St. Louis
Despite the fact that Week One is already underway, St. Louis is still going through the arduous motions of figuring out who their number one wide receiver is. Making that decision is considerably more difficult when charged to Sam Bradford in a live action game setting with a ferocious Lions pass rush descending upon him.
Quick Slants:
Jacksonville (+4) over Minnesota, Green Bay (-5) over San Francisco, Atlanta (-3) over Kansas City, Washington (+7) over New Orleans, Houston (-12) over Miami, Baltimore (-6.5) over Cincinnati.

|GTA V Latest News | #GTAV | #GTAOnline
2008 IGN physics preview
Grand Theft Auto IV - General News | @ 06:17 PM MDT | By Neil
The Australian branch of gaming website IGN has a new preview of Grand Theft Auto IV today which focuses exclusively on the physics system in the game. Rockstar has licensed a piece of middleware called Euphoria by British software company NaturalMotion.
The article makes specific mention that the physics system will be noticeable in both character and vehicle control. Characters will now stand appropriately depending on the terrain with a stance on a hill seeing knees bent realistically.
The bodies of characters will also be dynamic inside of vehicles and if hit hard enough then a person can be ejected from a vehicle through the windshield. Most importantly though, this can also happen to the player meaning that intense head-on collisions will see Niko flying out of the vehicle and potentially then becoming an easier target for chasing enemies.
