RedHawk Baseball Stumps the Stags, 8-2
Follow @MiamiRedHawks and @MiamiOHBaseball on Twitter
March 14, 2007
Bradenton, Fla. - Sophomore left-hander Robert Shannon (East Liverpool, OH/Beaver Local) captured his first career win as a Redhawk, giving up just two earned runs and three hits while striking out two Fairfield University batters in five innings of work. Shannon's record goes to 1-0 on the year and Miami improves to 4-7 on the 2007 campaign.
Fairfield started the scoring in the top of the first inning when Patrick Hoban opened the game with a single to right field. Hoban would than advance to second on a Shannon wild pitch. After Peter Allen walked, the runners moved up a base on a passed ball. Brian Rudolph then singled to center, scoring both base runners. That was all the runs the Stags would produce.
The RedHawks would strike pay dirt again in the sixth when Jeff Carroll (Columbus, OH/Bishop Watterson), who reached base via a walk, scored on an Eric Darlage (Powell, OH/Olentangy Liberty) double to right center field. A balk moved Darlage to third, before King was hit by a pitch. A second balk in the inning would score Darlage and move King to second base where he would later score on an Armitage single to right, making the score 8-2 in favor of Miami. The six run lead would hold up as a trio of Miami freshman hurlers shut door on the Fairfield hitters.
Jimmy Gerlach (Columbus, OH/ Upper Arlington), Jamaal Hollis (Chicago, IL/Whitney Young), and Brandon Meister (Lincolnshire, IL/Stevenson) each made their collegiate debut in Miami uniforms. Gerlach threw two scoreless innings of hitless baseball, while Hollis completed one inning of work, striking out two batters and not allowing a hit. Meister retired the side for Miami in the ninth, striking out one batter.
The RedHawks will continue their Spring Break of baseball on Thursday with games against Northern Iowa at 2:15 p.m., and Vermont @ 7 p.m.

Texas man in stand-your-ground case could get life
Mindy Danaher embraces a supporter as she reacts to the guilty verdict against her husband's killer Raul Rodriguez Wednesday, June 13, 2012, in Houston. A jury convicted Rodriguez of murdering his neighbor [auth] during a confrontation outside the neighbor's home two years ago, rejecting his claim that he was within his rights to fatally shoot the man under Texas' version of a stand-your-ground law. (AP Photo/Houston Chronicle, Brett Coomer) MANDATORY CREDIT
HOUSTON (AP) — A retired Texas firefighter convicted of fatally shooting his unarmed neighbor during a dispute over a noisy birthday party was described as abusive and a bad neighbor Thursday during the punishment phase of his trial.
Raul Rodriguez, 47, was convicted of murder Wednesday in the 2010 death of Kelly Danaher, a 36-year-old elementary school teacher. Rodriguez had argued he was within his rights under Texas' version of a stand-your-ground law.
The punishment phase began Thursday with prosecutors in Houston presenting neighbors, former co-workers and Rodriguez's ex-wife. They testified Rodriguez was abusive, a bad neighbor and had once shot a dog.
Defense attorneys won't get their chance to call witnesses until June 25. The delay was caused by scheduling conflicts.
Rodriguez could be sentenced to up to life in prison.
Rodriguez was angry about the noise coming from Danaher's home, where the family was having a birthday party for Danaher's wife and young daughter. Rodriguez went to the home and got into an argument with Danaher and two other men attending the party.
In a 22-minute video he recorded that night, Rodriguez can be heard telling a police dispatcher "my life is in danger now" and "these people are going to go try and kill me." He then said, "I'm standing my ground here," and shot Danaher after somebody appeared to grab his camera. The two other men were wounded.
Rodriguez's reference to standing his ground is similar to the claim made by George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer who is citing Florida's stand-your-ground law in his defense in the fatal February shooting of an unarmed teenager, Trayvon Martin. Rodriguez's case, however, was decided under a different kind of self-defense doctrine.
Texas' version of the law was revised in 2007 to expand the right to use deadly force. It allows people to defend themselves in their homes, workplaces or vehicles, but a person using force can't provoke the attacker or be involved in criminal activity at the time.

Affordable and well designed websites for Individuals, Small Businesses and Non-Profit Charities and Organisations in and around Edinburgh.
Need an affordable website, but don't want to sacrifice quality? Welcome to my site. I'm a West Lothian-based web designer, and I have designed and developed websites for local businesses in and around Edinburgh and the Lothians, and worked directly with many of Lothians hospitals and charities. I provide comprehensive services from initial concept to creation and development, including photography, brand identity and logo design, search engine submission and hosting.
I can supply websites that are simple to maintain, delivered with an easy-to-use content management system (CMS), allowing you to easily make changes to your own website through your browser alone (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc).
I specialise in getting websites up and running with the minimum of fuss, working with clients and building sites that fit the bill, but for a realistic budget.
I take a personal interest in all the work that I create. It becomes part of my portfolio, so I have a vested interest in doing a good job! I can provide you with a website that you can be proud to show to the world, but didn't cost the earth...
You will want to take some time to think about what you wish to accomplish with your new website. You should visualise the navigation links you would like and what information you would expect to see on your site (such as homepage, about us, services, etc.) and supply all text and/or product information to be included. In addition, you may also supply material such as company logo, personal photos, etc. if desired/available.
At this point I will design a sample of how I think your site should look. I will pass this design to you for consideration and will make modifications to the design until the desired look is achieved.
Most websites, once they are live, do not require much updating. You can update your pages, post news, special offers, etc. from your own PC without being a computer wizard and without any cost using an in-built content management system: I recommend WordPress.
As the web matures, people expect information honestly presented and free from gimmicks. I believe being able to provide compliant and accessible websites is of the utmost importance. Your website will tested during development on a variety of web browsers to insure proper display, functionality and accessibility.
Your website will be optimised for the search engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.) using appropriate page titles, cleanly presented content and carefully chosen keywords & descriptions.
I always hand-submit websites to the major search engines and have had good results with most sites.
Beware of companies that promise they will "...place your site at the top of Google..." and charge a lot of money for this service. The simple fact is that no-one can explicitly promise your site will be listed at the very top of a search engine results page.
The most common type of site ideal for small and local businesses is comprised of around five pages, typically: Home, About Us, Services/Products, News and Contact pages. This common set-up is available for a £200 one-off flat fee. That price includes all work to design and produce a fully finished "ready-to-go" website.
However for ease of use, I recommend for all clients, a site created on the popular WordPress framework - this allows you to manage and update your own site without any further payments - my flat fee for a small to medium site is £500. This includes installation of software, site design and creation. A complete website ready for you to update.
If you have requirements for a larger site, I can provide a quotation based on your needs. The exact specification is up to you.
In addition to the cost listed above is a recurring 'web hosting' cost of £150 per annum. This is where your website lives on the internet and covers your web-address (i.e. www.yourwebsite.co.uk) for the period of 12 months. This payment is essential and makes sure that your website is visible to the outside world. After all it's no use having a website if no-one can see it! This is the only part of having a website that is a recurring annual fee, the design and creation of the site is a one-off flat fee payment.

Do Bald Men Get Half-Price Haircuts?
€ 13,49
Lieferbar innerhalb von 2-3 Tagen
Juni 2002
BeschreibungThe silvery clip of scissors. The scent of talcum and tonic. The game blaring on the radio. The lazy rhythms of friendly conversation. In Do Bald Men Get Half-Price Haircuts? Vince Staten perfectly captures the atmosphere of the classic barbershop and the special place it holds in the hearts of American men. Staten visited more than three hundred barbershops, in towns ranging from Chowchilla, California, to Mount Airy, North Carolina. Displaying a great ear for dialogue, he re-creates the banter in a family-run Italian shop in Louisville, the relaxed jokes shared at an African-American barber's in a quiet neighborhood in Nashville, and the familiar conversations about local politics, the new baseball coach, and the meaning of life that make it clear why the barbershop is the communications hub of so many communities. In a wonderfully entertaining exploration of the history, secrets, and social contributions of barbershop culture, he provides answers to such pressing questions as: What's in those hair tonics anyway? Why are the stripes on the barber pole red and white? Why not a barbershop trio? As in his earlier fascinating tours through the hardware store and the phar-macy, Staten combines a highly original sense of humor with a keen eye for telling detail. With Do Bald Men Get Half-Price Haircuts? he treats readers to an unusual, warmly nostalgic, and often hilarious tour of an enduring corner of American popular culture.
Untertitel: In Search of America's Great Barbershops. 1:B&W 5. 5 x 8. 5 in or 216 x 140 mm (Demy 8vo) Perfect Bound on Creme w/Gloss Lam. Sprache: Englisch.

OT It's Sunday Football!! Are you watching the game? Who are you cheering for?
It's finally here, the regular season opening game!! A couple of years ago I realized my kids could name many famous artists, composers, and scientists, but were completely clueless about sports. So what started out as a unit study in pop culture has snowballed into an obsession. This is how it goes down at our house Sunday afternoon. My girl and I are glued to the TV for 3 and a half hours, while my boy is hiding out in his room watching netflix. LOL!
~Are you watching the game?
~Who's you're team?
What are your Sunday football family rituals?
no not a sports fan family here, but we do watch our portland trailblazers basketball games when they are on or in town(go to them) otherwise we dont watch any sports! dh is not a fan

Tires slashed, threats left at Alianza office
The employees of Alianza of New Mexico on West Second Street became the victims of criminal damage Wednesday, sometime between 10 a.m. and noon, when the drivers' side rear tires of three separate vehicles were slashed.
The subject left a calling card in the form of a note on each vehicle. The Roswell Police Department asked that the text not be reproduced, but Alianza Executive Director Sashua Patton [auth] said the notes were derogatory and threatening.
The total replacement costs for the slashed tires were $378.31. Patton complimented the police officer who took the staff members' report, saying he stayed until he could examine each damaged tire after it had been changed.
Considering the text, the crime could be viewed as a hate crime by New Mexico statutes, since it targeted a certain group. The New Mexico Hate Crimes Act of 2003 was modified from the previous act of 1978. The act allows a judge to increase the basic sentencing for an individual who "commits a crime because of bias or prejudice."
Under prior law, the sentencing for an offender was the same regardless of whether or not the crime committed was based upon biases such as that of race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, sex, sexual orientation, gender, age, gender identity, physical or mental disability or serious medical condition.
Alianza of New Mexico serves the needs of people who are living with or are affected by HIV. This includes not only the sufferers, but their family and friends. Alianza tracks medical case management and medical care. The group also provides education, referrals and prevention services.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Take John Smoltz, subtract 15 years, and what do you get? Josh Beckett, of course. The ace was in the place last night, striking out 10 Athletics through seven innings of work for his 12th win of the season. Beckett frequently looked completely dominant, particularly in the fourth and fifth innings, as the Oakland offense went meekly before his 96-97 mile an hour fastball and sharp breaking ball. He also threw just 15 balls through his first six innings of work, which is pretty decent control, I guess.
Whether the bats were starting to warm up is still a matter of debate, despite the 8-3 scoreline: A's starter Trevor Cahill was pretty shaky from the outset, giving up a solo shot to the second Sox hitter of the evening, Dustin Pedroia. Nevertheless, banging out 14 hits has to be good for the offense's morale, especially on a night when every Sox hitter got at least one. Jacoby Ellsbury went 3 for 5 with a triple and an RBI, Pedroia was 2 for 4 with a pair knocked in, and Adam LaRoche continued to wow the Fenway faithful, pounding two doubles in four at-bats.
Beckett's strong start, the Boston bats looking more like their old selves, and some shocking defensive play from the A's combined to put the result beyond any doubt.
With respect to hitters, Josh Beckett was overpoweringly filthy last night. At some points, he made a big-league offense look like a crowd of little leaguers.
Did you read the recap? It was all good!
"I think through the first six innings, he threw 12 balls," said [Trevor] Cahill, whose guess was just three short of Beckett's actual total. "He was just pounding the zone, forcing guys to swing the bat. That's what I was trying to do." (Courtesy MLB.com)
I'm still not quite sure what happened in the top of the third inning. Here's what the NESN live blog had to say:
"Eric Patterson led off with a single, then tried to steal second as Adam Kennedy popped out to Youkilis. Patterson hustled back to first base to beat Beckett to the bag. One problem: Patterson failed to touch second on the way back. Beckett threw to Pedroia, and Patterson was called out."
My hat is off to them, because my note for that play read as follows: "Double play? What the f**k just happened?"

Chris Anderson talks about the power of web video
It's not often TED host Chris Anderson takes the stage himself for a full-length talk. More often, he leaves the talking to TED speakers.
However at TEDGlobal during the norther Summer, Chris spoke at length about the equalising, world-changing power of web video. It's an interesting insight, especially coming from an organisation whose profile has been fundamentally changed by the emergence of video on the web and the transformative power it has.

Young Sommelier of Year awarded to Fat Duck sommelier
Loic Avril of Heston Blumenthal's The Fat Duck has been awarded Young Sommelier of the Year 2013 for the UK, writes Olivia Bodle.
The sommeliers from the Fat Duck have dominated the competition for the past few years.
The competition, launched by Chaîne des Rôtisseurs in 2007, is divided into three parts; theory, service and blind tasting.The theory portion is written, testing deep knowledge in all areas of wine, wine production, laws, viticulture and vinification as well as spirits, beers, ales, ciders, ports and sherry.
The service section is designed to show professionalism, finesse and competence in bantering with the judge-as-diner throughout.
The blind tasting is based on the Master Sommelier Advanced Examination and requires assessment by sight, nose and palate of colour, age, alcohol content, country of origin and appellation of six wines.
Competitors for the UK prize, all below the age of 27, were praised for their "exceptional skill and knowledge" by the judges.
Chairman of judges Gerard Basset MS MW said: "This year we had a noticeable increase in the number of entrants for the competition. The quality of the contestants never ceases to impress the judges and this year was no exception.
"Each of the contestants demonstrated great passion for their craft and flair and we have high hopes for Avril in the International Finals later this year.'
Second place was awarded to Bouger Romain of the Vineyard at Stockcross and third place to Lukasz Jan Kolodziejczyk also of The Fat Duck.
Prizes include glasses from Schott Zwiesel, a Champagne sabre from Gaggenau, and a trip to Turkey for both winner and runner up. Avril will proceed to the international competition later this year in Washington DC.

Japan is set to receive its first load of kiwifruit for the season next month but exporter Zespri says it is too early to estimate the impact of the devastating earthquake.
Zespri spokeswoman Melanie Palmer said Japan took about 17 per cent of crop volume and generated about 30 per cent of sales value - about $370 million a year.
"It's our highest performing market," Palmer said.
"Over the next couple of weeks our operations team will be assessing impacts from the devastation in Japan and understanding how that will affect the crop going forward but it is far too soon to say on that front."
Zespri also has 730 growers in Ehime and Saga Prefectures, both south of Tokyo.
"My understanding is they're well away from the devastation zone," she said.
Air New Zealand spokesman Mark Street said the airline would monitor the situation but it was too early to draw any conclusions about the impact on tourism.
Air New Zealand last month announced it was reintroducing jumbo jets to Tokyo in a move the NZX-listed airline said demonstrated its confidence in the growth potential of the Japan tourism market
Street said the airline was continuing with its plans for the jumbo jets but was monitoring the situation closely.
"They're from Christmas onwards, so that's a long way away at this point so any decisions on that would be much closer to the time," he said.
Seafood Industry Council chief executive Peter Bodeker did not expect any long-term disruption to business "apart from the initial disruption due to what might happen around supermarkets, supply chains and so on".
"But in the long term there's no ongoing processing activity in the ports that have been damaged so all things being considered things should be back to normal as soon as possible."
Pipfruit New Zealand services manager Gary Jones said there might be some logistical challenges in the short term.
"In our experience globally economies such as this can recover very quickly in their food infrastructure," Jones said.
"In terms of demand I'm not sure whether it will be affected," he said.
"Often it's very difficult to work out what the human reaction can be in terms of purchasing decisions but our suspicion is that the Japanese will be wanting to get on with life, or most things, as normally as possible while they go through their grieving and rebuilding."
A few dozen containers of apples were expected to be exported to Japan this year in what is a developing market for New Zealand producers.
Japan would react extremely quickly, Jones said.
"It needs to feed the population so one of the key things for the Government to make sure it gets back is infrastructure, communications and food distributions," he said.
"You can't have a crisis like this and then suddenly throw a food crisis on top of it as well."

Dear Mr Ted....I have never talked to you before, but my big brother Chessifer has and he gave me your name. What did you do to catster? Chessifer and Winnie said you were a very smart twofer, but I am having some doubts. Not only can we not find things. But you messed up my very pretty page that Mr Newman's mommy spent a lot of time fixing for me, and when she fixed it, you said this was going to be so it worked with the new changes. Now the part at the top that said my name and was all pretty has gone away *growling*.
Also on the community page my old page from my NC mommy shows a picture even though we dont use that page anymore except for my old life, but Winnie and Chessifer don't even get a picture.
Worst of all, it took me 24 hours just to be able to find my page!!!!!!!
Oh yeah and the carpeting background....YUCK and unnecessary.
We really feel like you are more interested now in making this a site for NEW people who want info on cats and are really making the community part and your purrs who have been here every day and made Catster what it is a second thought.
Mr. Ted, you made me sad messing up my pretty page. You need to say sorry Mrs Newman's mommy like mommy tells me when I pounce on Chessifer.
No Krinkle Ball Kisses for you...you need a time out!!!!
Dear Biscuity,
I hope you are good. I miss you. I was going to write you this morning and tell you what a great forever home I have. I can't believe I have been here three months. Chessifer is so much fun to play with. And Winnie lets me eat her treaties. They are a good brothercat and sistercat to have. And my mommy tells me a million times she loves me and I sleep on her and she gets up in the middle of the night to get my krinkle ball when it gets losted under the dressers. And I have a great drawer I like to take naps in.
That was what I was GOING to tell you, but then mommy came home from her working out and picked me up and kissed me and put in my carrier. She made me go to the v-e-t. Just cause my eye was a acting funny. How not nice was THAT. And then when I got there it wasnt even my nice man vet. It was a lady who didn't say my name right, hmmmfffppp. She did tell mommy how good I was and how much she liked me (well duh) but still.
When I got home mommy putted drops in my eye. How mean is that? Chessifer and Winnie Bea gave me a bath to get the v-e-t stank off me and have been nice to me. So I still like them. But I think I need another mommy.
Can I come back to live with you and mommy Kaye and pops???
*krinkle ball kisses*
Dear Pooh and Rascal,
I need your help. That bad Mr Nuk is saying horrible things to me and he THINKS you will defend him. I know better! Do you know what he did to me? I was being a nice kitten like you taughted me. Miz Rose said Mr Nuk was sad and needed lovies, so I gave him hugs and kisses. I didnt want him to be unloved. What did he do? He called me names and said Chessifer should make me fat so I couldnt give lovies *sniff sniff* I was just trying to be nice.
Then today, he listed Shiloh, my NC sistercat. No cat is nicer than Shiloh. And he said mean things about her too. I dont like that Mr Nuk anymore at all. *sniff sniff*
I am not big enough to take him down myself (he's a moosecat) but I thought of a song I can sing for him.
*starts singing*
"You're a mean one, Mister Nuk
You really are a heel,
You're as cuddly as a cactus, you're as charming as an eel, Mister Nuk,
You're a bad banana with a greasy black peel!
You're a monster, Mister Nuk,
Your heart's an empty hole,
Your brain is full of spiders, you've got garlic in your soul, Mister Nuk,
I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!
You're a vile one, Mister Nuk,
You have termites in your smile,
You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile, Mister Nuk,
Given a choice between the two of you I'd take the ... seasick crocodile!
You nauseate me, Mister Nuk,
With a nauseous super "naus",
You're a crooked dirty jockey and you drive a crooked hoss, Mister Nuk,
You're a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich, with arsenic sauce!
You're a foul one, Mister Nuk,
You're a nasty wasty skunk,
Your heart is full of unwashed socks, your soul is full of gunk, Mister Nuk,
The three words that describe you are as follows, and I quote, "Stink, Stank, Stunk!"
You're a rotter, Mister Nuk,
You're the king of sinful sots,
Your heart's a dead tomato splotched with moldy purple spots, Mister Nuk,
Your soul is an appalling dump heap overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of rubbish imaginable, mangled up in tangled up knots! "
My Chessifer even said that it wasn't nice that Mr Nuk said I should get fat so I cant give lovies. I give GREAT lovies!!!!
*looks serious* Ok boys.............take him out!!!!!!
Krinkle ball kisses

North Korea taps reformist premier
SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea shifted, at least temporarily, away from weeks of warlike rhetoric today, appointing a new premier seen as an economic reformer after a high-level declaration that nuclear bomb building and a stronger economy are the nation's top priorities.
The reemergence of Pak Pong Ju as premier at an annual spring parliamentary session is seen by analysts as a clear signal that leader Kim Jong Un is moving to back up recent statements vowing a focus on strengthened economic development. The U.N. says two-thirds of the country's 24 million people face regular food shortages. Pak was reportedly sacked as prime minister in 2007 after proposing a U.S.-style wage system.
Pak's re-emergence at the top of North Korea's Cabinet signals that he will play a key role in economic policymaking again.
Any economic changes won't be radical, said John Delury, a professor and North Korea analyst at Seoul's Yonsei University, and, for the time being, they're mostly aspirational. One possible change could entail a shift of part of the country's massive military spending into the economy as a whole, he said.
The meeting of the Supreme People's Assembly followed near-daily threats from Pyongyang, including vows of nuclear strikes on South Korea and the U.S.
The United States, meanwhile, sent F-22 stealth fighter jets to participate in annual war games with South Korea, and the new South Korean president, who has a policy meant to re-engage Pyongyang with talks and aid, told her top military leaders to set aside political considerations and respond strongly should North Korea attack.
Pyongyang has reacted with anger over routine U.S.-South Korean military drills and a new round of U.N. and U.S. sanctions that followed its Feb. 12 underground nuclear test, the country's third. Analysts see a full-scale North Korean attack as unlikely and say the threats are more likely efforts to provoke softer policies toward Pyongyang from a new government in Seoul, to win diplomatic talks with Washington and to solidify the young North Korean leader's military credentials at home.
Despite the continuing hostility on the peninsula, there has been a noticeable shift in North Korea's rhetoric to a message that seeks to balance efforts to turn around a moribund economy with nuclear development.
"There was a danger that this was getting to the point ... of a permanent war footing," said John Delury, a North Korea analyst at Seoul's Yonsei University. "In the midst of this tension and militant rhetoric and posturing, Kim Jong Un is saying, Look, we're still focused on the economy, but we're doing it with our nuclear deterrent intact."
On Sunday, Kim and top party officials adopted a declaration calling nuclear weapons the "the nation's life" and an important component of its defense, an asset that wouldn't be traded even for "billions of dollars."
Pyongyang cites the U.S. military presence in South Korea as a main reason behind its drive to build missiles and atomic weapons. The U.S. has stationed tens of thousands of troops in South Korea since the Korean War ended in a truce in 1953.
While analysts call North Korea's threats largely brinkmanship, there is some fear that a localized skirmish might escalate. Seoul has vowed to respond harshly should North Korea provoke its military. Naval skirmishes in disputed Yellow Sea waters off the Korean coast have led to bloody battles several times over the years.
Attacks blamed on Pyongyang in 2010 killed 50 South Koreans.
Deputies to North Korea's Supreme People's Assembly gathered in Pyongyang today, although the session's schedule was unclear.
Under the late leader Kim Jong Il, North Korea had typically held a parliamentary meeting once a year. But Kim Jong Un held an unusual second session last September in a sign that he is trying to run the country differently from his father, who died in late 2011.
Parliament sessions, which usually are held to approve personnel changes and budget and fiscal plans, are scrutinized by the outside world for signs of key changes in policy and leadership.
At a session last April, Kim was made first chairman of the powerful National Defense Commission, the body's top post.
On Sunday, Kim presided over a separate plenary meeting of the Central Committee of the ruling Workers' Party, a top decision-making body tasked with organizing and guiding the party's major projects. The meeting set a "new strategic line" calling for building both a stronger economy and nuclear arsenal.
North Korea's "nuclear armed forces represent the nation's life, which can never be abandoned as long as the imperialists and nuclear threats exist on earth," according to a statement issued by state media after the meeting.
Sunday marked the first time for Kim to preside over the committee meeting. The last plenary session was held in 2010, according to Seoul's Unification Ministry, and before that in 1993.
The plenary statement also called for strengthening the economy, which Kim has put an emphasis on in his public statements since taking power. The U.N. says two-thirds of the country's 24 million people face regular food shortages.

A lack of soap in Tauranga public toilets has been highlighted as a health concern by a University of Otago study.
The study, undertaken by public health researchers Nick Wilson and George Thomson, showed almost 40 per cent of public toilets surveyed throughout the North Island did not have any soap, or the dispenser was empty or broken.
The researchers said this situation was "inadequate" for public health in terms of preventing gastrointestinal and respiratory infectious diseases.
Other concerns highlighted in the report were a lack of cleanliness and doors that did not shut properly.
The Bay of Plenty Times undertook its own survey of six Western Bay public toilets to see how they measured up.
The survey compared the cleanliness of the toilets; availability of soap, toilet paper and drying facilities; whether there were working locks and the lighting of the toilets.
The overall results showed Tauranga's public toilets rated well for cleanliness, but only half of those surveyed had soap available.
Tauranga City Council spokesman Marcel Currin said the council had established levels of service for public toilets that determined things like the frequency of cleaning, toilet paper re-stocking and which locations needed soap dispensers. "If anyone ever has a complaint about the cleanliness or condition of public toilets they should always contact the council," he said.
The Bay of Plenty Times last conducted a public toilet survey in 2010.
The Papamoa Domain block scored lowest with only three out of 10 and Mount Maunganui Main Beach was highest with an eight.
In 2010 our reporter found faeces and urine all over the floor of the Papamoa Domain toilets. This time only one toilet had urine on the seat, although there was toilet paper all over the floor.
The downtown Mount Maunganui toliets improved the most with a four point jump.

Entergy Gulf States Louisiana on Tuesday said it has signed a commercial and contractual agreement with Sempra Energy's Cameron LNG unit to supply up to 200 megawatts of extra power to the proposed gas liquefaction project in Cameron Parish.
Sempra announced plans in 2012 to build a natural gas export facility at the site of its existing Cameron LNG terminal in Hackberry. Entergy provides electrical services to the existing terminal.
The 30-year power contract between Entergy Gulf States Louisiana and Cameron LNG has a 10-year initial term and automatic renewals for four successive five-year terms. Entergy plans to upgrade its transmission system to meet the increased demand the liquefaction facility will generate, officials said.
Construction on the $7 billion liquefaction project is expected to start in 2014. The first train is expected to begin operations in 2017 and all three trains in 2018.

text: Trainer's Toolbox: Three Progressive SandBell® Workout Programs By Pete McCall Fitness professionals who want to provide the most effective workouts for their clients should always be on the lookout out for new exercise equipment especially if it is affordable, portable and provides a wide variety of exercise options. SandBells by Hyperwear have only been on the market for a few years yet are quickly becoming a "must-have" for a trainer's tool box. The ACE Integrated Fitness Training Model (ACE IFT Model) establishes a scientifically based method of progressing intensity for Functional Movement and Resistance Training from less-intense Stability and Mobility exercises to improve posture in Phase 1 to high-intensity power exercises to burn calories and enhance athletic Performance in Phase 4. Finding exercise equipment that can provide an effective challenge for clients of all skill levels can be tough but SandBells are one of the few pieces of portable equipment that can easily be used by all types of clients to improve muscular endurance, strength and explosive power. SandBells are unique in that they are, as the name suggests, filled with sand creating an unstable, shifting mass. The constantly changing mass combined with the fact that they can be easily (and safely) thrown makes SandBells an effective training tool to meet the needs of exercise programming for all four levels of ACE IFT Model. Traditional free weight equipment like dumbbells, medicine balls or even kettlebells provide external resistance in the form of a solid, stable mass. One important feature of the SandBell is that it can be grabbed in a variety of different ways which can improve grip strength which is related to upper arm and shoulder strength. Developing a strong grip can improve strength and stability of the shoulder at the gleno-humeral joint and is an often overlooked component of a well-rounded workout program. Exercises for the Stability and Mobility phase of the ACE IFT are designed to improve the stability of the knee, lumbar spine and scapula-thoracic joints while enhancing mobility of the mobile ankle, hip and gleno-humeral joints along with the thoracic spine. SandBells can be used to improve core stability while enhancing range-of-motion in the mobile joints. Exercises in the Movement phase of the ACE IFT should combine stability and mobility to improve movement efficiency. SandBells can be easily moved in all directions to effectively load the foundational patterns of movement: squatting, lunging, pushing, pulling and rotating. The Load training phase is designed to improve muscle force production and heavier SandBells can be used to improve muscle force output. Finally Performance training adds a velocity component where performance enhancement for endurance activities requires sustaining a minimal force over an extended period of time and enhancing performance for power-based activities requires generating a high amount of force in the shortest time possible. SandBells can be used for either high-repetition exercises to develop muscular endurance or be thrown to develop explosive power. Because of their unique design and versatility SandBells can easily be used in a variety of reactive games to challenge clients or fitness class participants with exercises requiring cognitive thought processing. An example of a reactive exercise is to have three different colored SandBells (each weight is identified by a distinct color) and calling out a color for a client to move towards and either touch and return to the starting position or lift and return to the starting position. This drill can be done for repetitions and time and creates a unique stimulus which is both fun and engaging for clients. If you are looking for new equipment that is versatile, easy to transport and extremely fun to use then consider adding some SandBells to your training toolbox. You will have a wide variety of programming options and your clients will quickly develop a love-hate relationship with these "bags of sand" (as one of my clients calls them). THE WORKOUT Foundation (ACE IFT Model Phases 1 and 2): The purpose of this workout is to user a light-to-moderate weight SandBell to integrate stability and mobility in the foundational movement patterns. For each exercise the client should be able to maintain a neutral lumbar spine, an extended thoracic spine and forward bending movements should come from the hips, not the lumbar spine. The Jumping jacks and Overhead slams are added to provide an aerobic challenge. Do each exercise for 10-to-12 repetitions and 2-to-3 sets resting 30 seconds between sets. To increase the cardiorespiratory challenge do the exercises in a circuit format moving from one to the next with only 15 seconds rest between each exercise, rest for 2 minutes at the end of the circuit before repeating. Experienced (ACE IFT Model phases 2 and 3): The purpose of this workout is to use a moderate-to-heavy weight SandBell in order to enhance muscle force production in the foundational movement patterns. The client should be able to control his or her center of gravity over a constantly moving base of support. Perform each exercise for six to 10 repetitions and complete three to four sets, with a 30-second rest period between sets. To increase the cardiorespiratory challenge, do the exercises in a circuit format, moving from one to the next with only 15 seconds rest between each exercise. Rest for two minutes at the end of each round before starting the next one. Expert (ACE IFT Model Phases 3 and 4): The purpose of this workout is to use a moderate-to-heavy weight SandBell to improve explosive strength and enhance the velocity of force production. The high-intensity nature of this workout makes it an excellent option for maximizing caloric expenditure. Perform each exercise for six to 10 repetitions and complete three to five sets, resting 15 to 30 seconds between each exercise. For the explosive exercises, however, rest 30 to 45 seconds before starting the next one. To increase the cardiorespiratory challenge, perform the exercises in a circuit format, moving from one to the next with only 15 seconds of rest between each exercise. Rest for two minutes at the end of each round before starting the next one. Pete McCall is a personal trainer and fitness educator in San Diego, Calif. He holds a master's degree in exercise science and health promotion from California University of Pennsylvania, and is a Fellow in Applied Functional Science with the Gray Institute in Michigan. In addition, he is a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) with ACE and NASM; a NSCA-Certified CSCS; and holds the IFS and PES advanced specializations from NASM. McCall's personal philosophy is that fitness is "having the ability to do what you want to do, when you want to do it." Throughout his career, he's helped numerous people live healthier lives through physical activity.

5.0 stars 20 totalReview Garrick Fox
Posted by Carol
I was caught up in the real estate debacle. Oddly, I could not get the bank to foreclose on my property. It was deteriorating and I was liable to be assessed for lack of repairs of the building. Mr. Fox, with great difficulty, got the bank to foreclose on the property, so I could move on. He had to drag them into court. This has taken a huge load off of my mind. Mr. Fox was extremely knowledgeable both of Florida law and of real estate procedures. I recommend
him unreservedly! He both competent and easy to work with. A wonderful attorney!
Posted by Tracy
I called Mr. Fox for a free consultation(it actually was free) and after spending about 25 minutes discussing my problem, Mr. Fox told me that I was probably better off without an attorney. It would've been fairly easy for him to take my money and my case. Honesty can't be bought. Thank you!
Posted by scott
Mr. Fox is very personable and is always available to answer all my questions or to meet with me at a moments notice. Unlike previous attorneys I have had in this matter I am never in the dark and know he has my best interest at hart.
Posted by Robert
After finding Mr Fox thru Avvo about a year ago we set up a consultation about our home that had gone into foreclosure in January of 2008 after becoming disabled, we had tried to work with the bank but they would not budge. It had been over 5 years since we received the foreclosure notice so we thought there was nothing we could do, we caught Mr Fox on the day before he was going on vacation so we would have to wait for him to get back before he could give us an educated response. When he returned from his trip he contacted us and we came to the office,during his trip he did some research on our case and banks involved and informed us of a statute of limitations of 5 years that had just been past in January 2013 and told us he was going to get us our home back. Of coarse there are no guarantee's in life he said but I give this one 90%, He kept us informed all the way and 11 month's and 2 day's later we got our HOME back. we cannot thank Mr Fox enough for what he has given us, as my wife and I are both disabled we now have a home forever !!

I was very pleased with the assistance and help I received in applying for a Loan Modification. I had gone to KEL attorneys and was very unhappy...no one person to talk to and no updates and outrageously expensive.
At Garrick Fox's office Nicole and Kelly were very hands on and guided me through the process.... and affordable. When I finally got the Loan Modification Kelly Gilmartin sat with me and we read the paperwork together and if she didn't know the answers to my questions she found the answers to all questions that I had!!
I am very happy to be able to stay in my home with my pets and all my plants that I've planted over the 10 years here..... THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH Mr. Fox and Kelly and Nicole.

Mr. Fox fortunately for me accepted my case in 2009. I have been very lucky to find an attorney who was so compassionate , encouraging, experienced, and honest during these trying times. I am positive that my case was more than originally expected. However, he and his office staff were able to bring real and true results in an emotionally charged case. Mr. Fox was always very open and honest with me from day one which was very important to me and I believe I needed this. He had very realistic expectations which were hard for me to accept but in the end he was always right. If I had to do it again I would choose Mr. Fox to handle my legal needs. We started with a complicated family law case that seemed to have no possibility of a reasonable and fair end. Now all parties communicate and work together as best as possible, negative energy has changed to productive energy, and we have a final result that everyone is happy with and can live with. During this process all parties have learned that we will have to work together and no one gets everything they want. I have grown more secure and confident during this time that he handled my case. I feel more empowered and everyone including myself have let go of the past. It took his long term insistence and dedication to get to the point we are now at. It is my opinion that Mr. Fox has helped me in more than just with legal issues and I believe that is a rare breed of people that have the desire to help pull you out of the pit when all seems grim. The closure of my case brought a closure to the past with fair and equal results for all parties involved and has allowed for a new beginning. As a family and extended family we are now able to focus on the future and concentrate on the here and now. I am very pleased with the results of this case and thankful for his involvement which surely turned the tide for my family and I.
Posted by Rick
Mr. Fox was the third Lawyer I reached out to for help with my Mortgage, his staff and knowledge resulted in a resolution in three months. Previous Attorney could not get it done for two years. I would recommend Mr. Fox and his staff to anyone seeking effective legal advise. Nicole in his office was a pleasure to work with and someone who cares about her job and client.
Posted by Denise
I went to Mr. Fox on the recommendation of a friend. It took Mr. Fox four years to finalize the negotiation of my house loan because I have unique circumstances. The man and his office (especially two of his Paralegals, Nicole D'Elia and Kelly Gilmartin the senior paralegal who did all the paperwork!) persevered against the loan holder and finally reached an agreement in the negotiation that benefited everyone. (At the end, my file was almost a foot thick!) My case was favorably dismissed two days ago. Mr. Fox also helped us on an unrelated case out of the goodness of his heart. I recommend him and his office to everyone!
Posted by Cindy
Garrick Fox handled my home of 45 years that was being forclosed on. I had battled with the investors with the Obahm refinancing with no answers. After 3 yrs I decided to let it go. and it sat empty for a year. After I decided to get Mr. Fox involved and he and his assistant Kelly worked real hard and about a month ago I got the loan modified and taken out of the bankrupt courts. Thanks to the Fox Agency I have my home back.
Posted by John
Very knowledable and professional in resolving my potential foreclosure
which ultimately was resolved in a shortsale. Gary and Kelly were not only helpful in resolving my legal concerns but also advising options and closure

Your new neighbourhood
Path to university
At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.

As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

This is a recipe is greatly adapted from Sweet Potato Mini Loaves at Lauren's Latest, which is a great website. She made these into small loaves and spread orange cinnamon honey butter on them. I decided to make them into crescent rolls and used only butter and honey. My family declared their love for these rolls while with their mouths full. If you don't like sweet dinner rolls I would cut the honey in half. Otherwise these are divine. Enjoy!
Sweet Potato Rolls with Honey Butter
1 cup warm water
1/4 cup + 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
3 teaspoons yeast
2/3 cup mashed sweet potato, cooked
1 egg
1/4 cup melted butter, cooled
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3 1/2 - 4 cups bread flour
Butter and Honey Spread
6 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons honey (1/2 for less sweet dinner roll)
*Melt butter and stir in honey. Let cool a bit before using.
Add warm water, 1 teaspoon sugar, and yeast to medium bowl. Let sit to proof for five minutes. Meanwhile mash potato and butter together. Add potato and butter mixture to yeast, along with the remaining sugar and egg. Add salt and cinnamon and flour, 1/2 cup at a time until dough is ready to knead. Pour dough out on floured surface and knead until elastic. Place in oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Set in warm draft free location and allow to double in size, about 75 minutes. Punch down, and knead a few times. Roll into round shape about 1/8 inch thick. Spread butter and honey mixture on dough. Use pizza cutter or knife to cut into sixteen triangle shaped pieces. Roll each triangle, starting with the fat end. Place on lightly greased cookie sheet and allow to rise for 30 minutes. Bake in 350F oven for 14 minutes.

I asked the question a few days ago about using cables and varigated yarn. I decided to go ahead and give it a try. Although, as many said, the cables are not as distinct as they would be with solid yarn I think I like the overall effect. I had a hard time getting a good picture, if I tried to take the whole scarf it REALLY was hard to see so I zoomed in on a section. Face to face the cables do show.
You can see them better if you click on the picture and enlarge it a bit. The yarn is Esperanza by Schaefer.
I have a question though.........
Do you "block" cables? The scarf (Irish Hiking scarf) is a bit drawn together and if I could block it a bit flatter I think the cables would pop out even more.
I don't think they show as well as they would in a solid, but it looks beautiful!
Blocking depends a lot on the type of yarn. If it's an acrylic it won't block anyway. As far as I know you can block cables though.
Thanks Jan, it is wool so I am going to give it a try.
Some people say NEVER block ribbing or cables, but IMO you can. You want your knitting to look finished all the time, not only when it doesn't include cables/ribbing. I might try it on the last few inches just in case I weren't happy with it and needed to undo a bit and redo... or I might do a spray block instead of a total wet block... or I might just wet block, depending on my mood. Do take a few minutes to mold the cables, which is kind of prodding/plucking them in to the shape you want.The only caveat I'd have actually, is don't stretch them out too much while wet, they might get misshapen that way.
i think it's absolutely gorgeous! :inlove:the combination of the variegation and cables is what will make people do a double take and then really look at the scarf to make sure they're seeing it right. great job!!!
Well, I did a wet block (wish I had seen the suggestion to do the spray block first) yesterday and the scarf is currently drying. I THINK I achieved my desired result, I did pick and mold the cables when I lay it to dry. I'll know better when it's dry. I'll let you know what the end result is.
I am also working on an Irish Hiking Hat to go with the scarf and I gotta say the varigated cables are starting to grow on me. I think Lady Violet is right, it adds intrigue!
I think the scarf is lovely. I blocke a cabled sweater I recently made and it turned out just fine.
I hope you like the result.

Quick Take
- Delinquency rates and charge-off rates have been declining across the U.S. since the recession.
- Discover has benefited from this trend, maintaining both parameters below the industry average.
- This has led to a huge reduction in provisions for loan losses.
- We expect the trend to reverse in the coming years as consumer spending improves.
An industry wide decline in delinquency and charge-off rates through the last few years has helped card companies like Discover Financial (NYSE:DFS) and American Express (NYSE:AXP), which earn income from revolving credit loans provided to customers. Interest income from credit card loans is important for Discover since it accounts for 60% of its revenues. In contrast, American Express is less reliant on interest income transaction. The company earns 65% of its revenues through transaction fees from merchants and banks, and 15% through interest income.

- Purchase Volumes For U.S. General Purpose Cards Crossed $3 Trillion In 2016
In this article, we will focus on Discover Financial. A strong performance on credit card loans led to a 65% increase in market price through 2012. However, we believe that the stock is overvalued according to our $36 price estimate for Discover Financial, which is at a discount of 10% to the current market price.
See our complete analysis of Discover Financial here
The Industry Trend
The delinquency rate is the percentage of total loans that is past due date while charge-off rate is the percentage of loans that are considered unredeemable. Both parameters have been declining steadily in the U.S. since the recession. The delinquency rate on credit card loans for all commercial banks in the U.S. dropped from 6.76% in the second quarter of 2009 to 2.73% in the fourth quarter of 2012. [1] In the same period, the charge-off rate on credit card loans for the top 100 banks ranked by assets in the country dropped from 9.59% to 4.08%. [2] This trend was influenced by the recession as customers started paying off their loans in time in order to avoid staying in debt during the financial crunch.
How Is Discover Faring?
Discover has also seen a steady decline in both parameters staying well below the industry average. In 2009 the delinquency rate for loans over 30 days due was 4.92%, this dropped to 1.75% in 2012. The net principal charge-off rate dropped from 7.45% in 2009 to 2.29% to 2012.
The Effect It Has
Lower charge-off and delinquency rates allow companies like Discover to cut down on expenses related to maintaining reserves to absorb estimated losses in their loan portfolio. This expense is termed as provision for loan losses. Discover's provision for loan losses has been reduced significantly in the last few years influenced by the aforementioned trends. In 2010 the related expense was $3.2 billion while in 2012 the expense was just $848 million. As a percentage of average credit card loans, the expense has been reduced from 6.7% in 2010 to 1.55% in 2012.
Our Take On The Future
While the post recession period has seen a record low in charge-offs, going forward we expect both delinquency rates and charge-off rates to increase as consumer spending improves with the stimulus provided to the U.S. economy. This will lead to an increase in the provision for loan losses. We believe that the expense will rise marginally through the next few years. Our model is quite sensitive to this parameter and there is a downside of 10% to our price estimate should the provision for losses as a percentage of credit card loans increase above 2.5% in the next few years. You can modify the interactive chart below to gauge the effect a change in forecast would have on our price estimate.

Superman star Henry Cavill has claimed that if a Brit can play the Man Of Steel, then there is no reason why an American could not one day be James Bond.
The 30-year-old, from Jersey, was a surprise choice to don the red cape of America's greatest superhero for the latest reboot of the franchise.
But The Tudors star insists there was no problem with a Briton playing the Krypton-born, Kansas-bred character.
He said: "As long as I can do it convincingly, as long as I can play an American well enough, then I'm OK with that."
Drawing comparisons with an American becoming Britain's best-loved hero 007, he added: "I wouldn't mind if an American played Bond, as long as he's good and played the role right."
Cavill said he intentionally ignored the influence of past Superman performances, instead focusing on the original comic books, creating a database of notes on the superhero.
"(The notes) just kind of became a secondary character lurking there and I just drew from that," he said. "There's not really a word for it or any way to describe playing Superman. It's just a feeling and you've got to just channel that into the character."
He will be joined by co-star Amy Adams and director Christopher Nolan for Man Of Steel's Leicester Square premiere tonight.

Only Vitamin that Works....
for me! I don't know if I'm the only person in the world that feel ill after taking multivitamins. I was skeptical to try Vitafusion MultiVites but they work great for me. Only complaint is it seems to have a lot of sugar, but I will stick with these because they are the only ones that work.

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Calvin College invites applications for two full-time faculty appointments, pending administrative approval, one on a tenure track and the other on a two-year term.
About the positions
A Ph.D. degree in physics or astronomy is required for the tenure-track position and is preferred for the term position, although applicants holding Masters degrees will be considered in the latter case. Candidates should have outstanding promise as classroom teachers and undergraduate research mentors. Applicants in all specialties will be considered, but preference will be given to those who have experimental expertise and can either make use of our observatory as a research tool or further our existing programs in experimental AMO physics. Pending final administrative approval, the appointment will begin August 2014.
About the department and the college
The department offers majors and minors in physics and minors in astronomy and optics; cognate courses for programs in engineering, education, and the health sciences; and introductory courses in the college's core curriculum. Each member of the department maintains an active program of undergraduate research or professional service. Calvin College seeks faculty who affirm the Christian faith as expressed by the Reformed confessions and who have academic and personal qualifications for teaching and scholarship. Calvin is building a tradition of diversity and accessibility and welcomes applications from persons whose personal characteristics will further that commitment. Calvin does not discriminate in the employment of individuals on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, disability, sex, or age. Further specifics are posted on the college website http://www.calvin.edu/go/facultyopenings.
Application process
Each applicant should submit a CV and a letter addressing his or her teaching philosophy and experience, research plans, and interest in teaching at a Christian college. These two items should be combined in a single pdf file and sent as an email attachment to firstname.lastname@example.com. Additional information, including academic transcripts and letters of recommendation, may be requested during the review process.
Review of applications will begin November 1, 2013 and continue until the positions are filled.

A Monon man was killed in a crash this morning that shut down both northbound lanes of I-65 near the Demotte-Roselawn exit just south of Lowell for several hours and sent two truck drivers to an area hospital. Jim A. Uildriks, 52, of Monon, was pronounced dead at the scene of the 6 a.m. wreck by the Lake County Coroner as a result of blunt force trauma. His 2007 Dodge Ram pickup truck was behind a tractor-trailer driven by Richard W. Konrad, 59, of Indianapolis, which had stopped because of construction up ahead, according to the Indiana State Police. A second semi, driven by Paul J. Gottsacker, 51, of Lavelle, Wis., was behind Uildriks' truck and did not slow down or stop. It hit and ran over the pickup before hitting the trailer of Konrad's semi. Both truck drivers complained of pain and were taken to Saint Anthony's Hospital in Crown Point.

Everyone posts pictures for the site but not the actual and they say its new and when you get it, its been beat and used but you had no pictures to know, only there word that it was new. It would save everyone if you could ask everyone to take an extra 2 minutes to take a picture with the users name and date in a paper with the item for sale. Thank you for your time and reading

I went to this place to see about the travel club info they had - knowing it would be an attempt to sell me something. They promised gifts and a gift card $50 for Saturday or $100 for Friday visit after done to be given out, purchase or not.
After saying no, they grew angry and condescending, and said that they were "out" of gift cards that their FedEx package didn't come in. They gave me a business card with promise to send out when it came in, and put that w/signature on the back of the card. Needless to say, a week later and no card. Won't answer calls, alternate phone mailbox full (obviously of other complainers) and home number given false.
DO NOT do business with GLOBAL VACATIONS aka Global Holidays, Global Vacation Networks or anything like them. What a bunch of slicksters...am truly glad I didn't give them anything more than my time.

#1 Consumer Comment
SUBMITTED: Monday, September 28, 2009POSTED: Monday, September 28, 2009
The product is 100% legitimate. I've been a member of this company for over 9 years and have taken over a dozen vacations with the network. I've also been an employee for over 4 years. Here are both sides of the story, consumer and employee. As a Global member, the benefits are great. As an employee I'm paid very well. Keep reading to find out more accurate information for those who want the truth about Global Connections, Inc., a leader in the travel club industry. Global Connections, Inc. (GCI) headquartered in Overland Park, KS., has nearly 30 distributing offices throughout the country including Global Vacation Network (GVN) and Global Discovery Vacation (GDV). GCI is not a timeshare, but a licensed and bonded Full Service Travel Agency that owns a large number of its own properties. GCI is a member in good standing with the following industry agencies: VRMA (Vacation Rental Management Association), ARDA (American Resorts and Development Association), CARE (Cooperative Assocation of Resort Exchange), CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association), ARC (Airline Report Corporation) just to name a few. For more information, check out their new web page: https://www.globaldiscoveryvacations.com/tLogin.aspx
GCI is a great company, but not a perfect company. Companies are not perfect because people are not perfect and companies are comprised of the people who run them. A recent article in Resort Trades magazine reported "50% of respondents said they had no preference between a legacy and low-fair air carrier. Consumers care more about the price of the air ticket than the carrier. Translate this to the timeshare industry and it becomes obvious that price is what matters. If a consumer can purchase a timeshare from the developer for $20,000 or a similar product on the resale market for $5000 or $6,000... Why wouldn't they?" This is the Global way. As a consumer, my wife and I paid around $5,000 for a lifetime membership. As a consumer, we are 97% completely satisfied. Our last vacation was to Panama City Beach, FL where we stayed at the beautiful Wyndham Emerald Beach Resort & Spa in a 2 bdrm / 2 bath ocean front condo. Follow the link to see our accommodations: http://www.wyndham.com/hotels/PFNHT/main.wnt?cha=
Our total cost for 8 day/7 night stay was less than $100 for the entire week. We pay a nominal, "optional" renewal fee once a year that entitles us to a set number of weeks of vacation at less than $100 each. We spent our 5th anniversary in December 2008 at Globals exclusively owned White Oaks Resort & Lodge in Gatlinburg, TN where we stayed in a two bedroom state of the art cabin. The follow link gives you a video presentation of the resort. http://www.whiteoaklodgeandresort.com/great-taste-video.asp
Do the math and you'll quickly recognize Global Connections, Inc. is a great vacation investment.

OAK ISLAND, NC (StarNews) — The Oak Island Town Council unanimously placed a moratorium banning any new homes larger than six bedrooms on Thursday after hearing from residents asking for stricter rules on large-sized houses.
The moratorium is slated as time to work out the rules and regulations on "mega-homes" on the island. The council hopes to develop and adopt the new regulations by mid-April.
The council will have a number of workshops with the town planning board on the matter.

Several readers I ran into said I should got talk to Sybase. I sort of knew about their SQL Anywhere technology and knew it was about mobile, but I wanted to learn more. It's basically middleware that sits between your mobile device and your spatial database (name it - from databases to ArcGIS Server). It takes care of syncing (connected or intermittently connected), security, conflicts, etc. The big deal: it knows all about geospatial data and how to deal with it along with non-spatial attributes and it supports all enterprise mobile platforms. Enterprise mobile platforms? Yep, all of them save Android which does not yet have a big pick up in the enterprise; but fear not, Sybase is keeping an eye out for when it becomes a player.
So, with all those devices and all that connectivity, why do we still need to worry about disconnected data collect type apps? After a disaster (hurricane) any local connectivity may be completely gone. Further, with changes in data plan costs, it may be more cost effective (and equally timely) to collect all day and upload at night vs uploading continuously.
When I asked if would know of any apps that use Sybases technology they mentioned a small implementation called The Census and another from a small company that has trucks out putting soda into machines called Pepsi. What the Sybase crew is finding is that while many app developers start out thinking they can build all the syncing and security into their apps when they start they realize it's a lot of work and they really only know about data collection and geo parts. That's when many of them call Sybase.
I congratulated the team from CitySourced for their performance onstage at the plenary, and then fired questions at them. How do they use ArcGIS Server in their citizen reporting app? Basically, once a report comes in, it's ArcGIS server that provides the geographic context: it returns the name of the city/county to which the report is to be sent. How do they make money? By providing services. Any one can access the raw reports, but only those who are clients get them routed directly to their particular system. CitySourced has 10 paying customers now and many looking at the system.
I earthmine's press release about its integration with ArcGIS 10 and figured it was time for an update from the 3D imaging company. earthmine could be just another one of those companies driving around with camera on their cars, but their custom rigs are special - they capture 3D data and its accuracy. The company shoots on spec, so it doesn't waste money on data no one will buy. And its customers want specific coverage - just some roads in the county or just the ramps in the airport. Others want more - like a recently announced deal with the PagesJaunes Groupe (French Yellow pages). earthmine will collect the data for you, or you can use their tech. They can host the data or you can. Lots of options and lots of possibilities. So, why would GIS users want to tap earthmine imagery for their GIS implementation?
Two primary reasons - (1) to visualize the point, line and polyon data in a real world 3D environment and (2) to use the imagery to create or update data. With its high accuracy, often the vector information can be updated directly in ArcGIS. Cost? While not as accurate as surveying, earthmine data is typically 1/10 of the price.

We decided today that we would go and explore the island of Nassau a bit, and first off we went to Ardastra, 'the wildest place in town'. Its their version of a zoo, and it has some pretty cool animals. A lot of birds really, and also some goats and chickens :S They had some leopards which were actually active (gasp) unlike most big cats in zoos in australia. We saw a peacock courting and its quite intimidating with all its feathers out!
They also have world renowned famous pink flamingos, 'as seen in national geographic' as they like to say. They have trained them to march in unison and although we didnt see the marching show, they were pretty cool animals
It was super hot out and we were getting hungry, so we headed back to the hotel, via Arawak Cay, which had some funky little places for lunch. So we stopped in at one, the busiest one, because lots of people obviously means its good, and had some food. We thought it was about time we tried the local food so we had some Conch fritters...now all we really knew was that conch had the texture and tenderness of calamari and that it was a mollusc. Wikipedia told us later that it was sea snails, but it was pretty tasty. and 6 fritters only cost $2.50, or 12 for $4 so this was the cheapest place around! They also had $3 cocktails for pretty much a 250ml cup, so i had one of those, the 'miami vice', which was pina colada and strawberry dauquri together and it was YUM.
After lunch we went back to the Hilton where we were staying, (just thought I'd mention it again, not to rub it in or anything :P ) and went straight to the beach for a swim! It was a good swim, the water was really nice, although with an extra dose of salt....
We decided we'd have a late dinner, because we were pretty tired and not hungry at 6, but when we went out at about 7.30, everything was closed! every restuarant and bar was closed. except mcdonalds, so thats what we had :( so unsatisfying.
