These are #10 to #6 and we have three of them!
Really we had four but the Beringer Reserve is long sold out.
So from the Bellavista Malbec to the Ciacci Brunello and of course Leoville Barton we have you covered.
But you need to act fast as in most cases we only have a 100 or so bottles to offer.
Gotta say we saw most of these coming...sorry to say we told you so!!!
At #5 is the Guiraud Sauternes 2009 which has landed in the Top 10 before and we should have expected this one, but did not. Luckily we have a nice allocation of half bottles and bottles on the way.
At #4 is the legendary Chateauneuf du Pape Clos des Papes 2010 - been sold out at Zachys for over a week.
At #3 is one of Australia's greatest wines the Bella's Garden by Two Hands - offered to you last week as we had a hunch this was coming. Here don't worry we positioned very well and have plenty to offer at last week's price of $69!
At #2 is one of the best values of the Rhone the Chateau de St.-Cosme Gigondas 2010 - been sold out at Zachys for over a month!
So there it is. The Wine of the Year is slated for release tomorrow and we will see what it is. In the meantime make sure to grab the two gems that we have to offer right now before it is too late. We will do our best to track down some more Clos des Papes and St. Cosme but for now, you better act fast to secure the Guiraud and Two Hands.

Jet Skis In Phuket
Phuket Activities | Phuket jet ski rental scams
There's been a lot of different opinions on Jet Ski's and I think it's fair to say they've received some bad press over the years. No matter what your personal experience with Phuket jet skis , you have to agree that the old saying that "there's no smoke without fire".
The most talked about scam regarding Jet Ski's is the old "you broke it you fix it" where on returning back to the beach a "new" scratch, dent or other damage has appeared which you are then pressured into paying the repairs for. This seems to happen especially on Patong Beach.
Playing devils advocate, it's not uncommon for riders to zoom outside the agreed zone, out of sight of the jet ski owners or into dangerous areas of shallow reefs and submerged rocky outcrops or busy routes frequented by other boats such as long-tails. Then they circle moored boats in the bay without knowledge of mooring buoys or anchor lines and even less knowledge of the where other jet ski riders are. Taking all things into consideration and the cost involved in repairing a jet ski that there's a standard policy of if you break it to pay to get it fixed.
Having said that there's always a few bad apples in any barrel and they always seem to attract the lions share of the media attention.
What you should do to protect yourself against Jet Ski Scams
- Ask at your hotel / resort if they can recommend anyone reliable.
- Watch the jet ski's go out and come in, how much time to they spend on instruction and how they treat the people as they return.
- Take pictures of the jet ski before you take it out. Top, Front, Sides & Rear. If there is already some damage on the jet-ski already be sure to take extra photo's of that area.
- NEVER give your drivers license or passport.
- NEVER ride Jet Ski when you have been drinking or drunk.
- Finally if you're not 100% comfortable with the staff or the Jet Ski you should walk away and maybe go for a swim instead (which is safer and free).
The list sounds quite paranoid, and it's an awful lot of trouble to go to just for a 15/30 minute jet ski ride, but if you really want to rent one, go for it, but follow the advice above and be careful.
The bottom line – I've never personally met anyone who has been scammed in this way, nor have I ever seen anyone having trouble with jet skis while I've been on any of the beaches in Phuket. But I have read the blogs and reviews and the famous you tube footage.
Would I personally hire a Jet Ski in Phuket? Probably not. I would if I was comfortable with the staff and they had been recommended to me (but even then I'd still take pictures). Unfortunately many of the Jet Ski guys in Phuket don't naturally instil confidence or trust, so natural instincts to not get involved would keep me happily just swimming in the sea.

A good deal struck, a path forward
A recent deal between two energy companies is yet another beacon of hope for progress on the Cook Inlet energy development front.
Buccaneer Energy recently announced it would sell natural gas from local wells to Enstar for storage at the Cook Inlet Natural Gas Storage facility — the first confirmed supplier for the new facility.
Its good to see these two businesses — who's parent company is Semco Energy — doing business. The deal they reached will help secure future production and that bodes well for jobs and continued local economic stability in the future.
It will also help put Peninsula residents' minds at ease this winter when we'll need that gas to heat our homes. Hopefully having the source, infrastructure, storage and partnership all locally based will help keep the price at a reasonable and steady level.
We hope other companies looking to harvest the inlet's potential look at this partnership as a way for them to do business as well. After all, it's like they say: together, we can do more.

Our marijuana growing community argues about whether it's better to grow marijuana organically or naturally, versus growing marijuana using hydroponics.
The core of the argument is whether synthetic hydroponics nutrients, and the soilless method itself, are equal to, better than, or inferior to growing marijuana in soil using natural or organic ingredients and no synthetics.
Now comes a new marijuana grow book from Green Candy Press, True Living Organics (TLO), that puts the organic versus hydroponics grow marijuana argument front and center.
Written by Skunk Magazine cultivation editor "The Rev," this long-awaited marijuana grow book is a step-by-step guide to making your own soil mix (some would say "supersoil"), and growing marijuana without using any synthetic hydroponics nutrients or hydroponics methods.
The Rev is a legend amongst fans of Skunk.
And his Kingdom Organic Seeds (KOS) marijuana seeds breeding company is widely respected for heady strains like Iron Cindy, Black Malawi, and Deep Wreck.
The Rev presents TLO as a marijuana growing method involving custom-built, aged soil, brewed microbial teas, natural supplementation, and other special methods that rely only on natural and/or organic ingredients.
He's adamantly against synthetic nutrients, and has little good to say about most of the so-called natural and organic nutrients you find in grow stores.
In TLO marijuana growing, it's best to do it yourself, he says.
The book's fundamental and somewhat controversial message (beyond the very practical, well-organized, and easy to understand grow marijuana how-to) is that marijuana plants do best when grown using TLO rather than soilless methods and synthetic hydroponics nutrients.
In particular, The Rev asserts that synthetic nutrients overload plants, short-circuit root zone biology, and produce inferior-quality buds.
The claim that growing marijuana in soil using natural or organic root zone media and nutrition produces buds with better taste, aroma and high is a big component of TLO marketing.
The "organics is better" mindset has also been popularized by marijuana seeds breeder Subcool, a proponent of making "supersoil" that allegedly needs no added fertilizers and can grow big, high-quality buds rich with THC.
The organic versus hydro marijuana debate is important and complicated.
I've grown or sampled high-value marijuana grown using a variety of methods including methods that are all organic, all soil, all natural, all soilless, or all synthetic nutrients in sterile media, synthetic and natural nutrients in sterile media, and various combinations of these marijuana growing methods.
I've seen taste/aroma/smoke tests in which very arrogant "organic marijuana is better" marijuana growers couldn't accurately tell the difference in taste, aroma and high when comparing samples grown in soil organically versus marijuana grown hydroponically and properly flushed.
If you want to grow marijuana without using modern synthetic hydroponics nutrients or soilless methods, True Living Organics gives you complete and accurate information that'll grow you big buds.
The book's comprehensiveness and clarity make its obvious The Rev has decades of experience perfecting the ingredients and methods he outlines in the book.
The Rev's "spiking and layering" is the first truly effective method I've ever seen for handling nutrient deficiencies that frequently occur in marijuana soil grows, especially in bloom phase.
And he tells you exactly what ingredients to procure, and how to mix and apply them, to create a marijuana growing root environment and nutritional base that feeds marijuana from start to finish in smaller than average pots with zero nutritional deficiencies, fast growth, and satisfying yields.
As usual with books put out by Green Candy Press, True Living Organics is a handsome tome with intelligent language, attractive photos and layout, solid organization, and proprietary marijuana growing information provided by a renowned master of cannabis growing and breeding.
I circulated the advance copy of the book to several of my marijuana growing associates, some of whom already use organic marijuana growing methods, others who run deep water culture, aeroponics, or other purely hydroponics grow marijuana systems.
All of these professional marijuana growers praised The Rev for his Skunk Magazine work, his cannabis seed breeding, and his book.
As you might expect, the general reaction from these hydroponics marijuana growers was that they do not back The Rev's claims that TLO methods produce higher-quality marijuana or comparable yields when compared to using synthetic hydroponics nutrients in soilless systems.
They also said procuring the TLO method's organic materials, mixing them, "cooking" them, and applying them would take them more time and trouble than their current marijuana growing methods that use reverse osmosis water, synthetic hydroponics base nutrients, and synthetic hydroponics bloom supplements.
I am not in a marijuana growing situation right now where I can procure, mix, cook, and store the materials needed to follow the full TLO method.
I've done marijuana growing using commerical soil and using supersoil made for me by a supersoil expert.
But the TLO method is more complicated than that.
To provide the full menu of what marijuana needs without relying on synthetic nutrients, you have to dig deep (no pun intended) to get the fun things like greensand, myco fungi, and other components properly-configured for marijuana growing.
As The Rev makes clear, almost all the commercially available so-called organic or natural fertilizers sold to the marijuana growing community are NOT TLO-worthy.
You have to get the components yourself, making sure they're the right forms, and carefully mix them and prep them so your marijuana plants will have plenty of easily-absorbable nutrition, and a living, microbially-active root zone.
When I get my own house and acreage, and especially if I can do legal outdoor or greenhouse growing in large containers or in grow bags in the ground, I am going to run a marijuana grow season using TLO, and I'm sure I'll get fantastic results.
There are a lot of books on how to grow marijuana, but more and more, the highest-quality, cutting edge how to grow marijuana books come from Green Candy Press. True Living Organics is groundbreaking, in a class by itself, and deserves a place on any serious marijuana grower's bookshelf…even if you never intend to grow marijuana organically!

David Torres<firstname.lastname@example.com> :
It's still not clear to me what you hope to achieve. I also don't see
any added value in Sergio's pointing you to the SSC program -vincenty-
(though that program may help you later if you calculate a weighted
average over all schools in the country, where distances involved may
be both great and small). The example code you quoted at the outset
gives the general method you need to adapt to your data, except that
you need to calculate centroids of some existing polygons first, for
which code follows. I am assuming that you are working with polygons
small enough that you can assume that distances can be measured as if
they lay in a plane; otherwise centroids will be difficult to
calculate. Also note centroids need not lie inside a polygon, if
polygons may be nonconvex, which may undercut your intuition about
using centroids to measure distances between points and sets. See
also appendices A and B in http://www.nber.org/papers/w13246 for
discussion of distance-weighted measures. Here is a program for
calculating centroids, and a couple of examples:

FURTHER questions have been raised about the government's decision to drop the new Nimrod planes after a minister admitted that all nine of them were largely completed.
In a written answer to Moray SNP MP Angus Robertson, defence minister Peter Luff said that one of the MR4A maritime reconnaissance aircraft was ready, three were more than 90 per cent complete and the other five were at least 40 per cent complete.
The cancellation of the project, which has already cost the UK 3 billion, sealed the fate of RAF Kinloss, which now can only survive as a potential army base for troops being withdrawn from Germany.
The revelation came as Jobcentre Plus made it clear that no additional support has been made available in Moray since the base closure was announced.
And concerns have been raised privately by the Norwegian government that areas are now not being properly monitored.
In recent weeks there were suggestions that the UK was unable to track two Russian submarines which came into international waters. An American spy plane - the P3 Orion - was launched from Kinloss to try to fill the gap but the trace on the submarines were lost.
There have also been questions about how the new Trident submarines can operate secretly without the help of Nimrods.
Defence analyst Paul Beaver said: "There is no way that Nimrod can be replaced, and the decision will have serious implications for Trident."
Another expert, Tim Ripley, said: "We were all told that it was to save money, but it is clear from Mr Luff's answer that there was little (money] to be saved from the manufacturing, which means there were hardly any short-term savings to help tackle the deficit.
"Given the strategic importance of Nimrod, you then have to ask why it was cancelled."
Mr Robertson added: "When so much has been invested, and when they so close to completion, it is perverse to scrap these aircraft. Not only does this decision make no financial sense, but it makes no strategic sense either."
However, the Ministry of Defence said that the 30 billion project was cancelled for "cost reasons". It added that Nimrod's capabilities can be filled through other forms of detection and closer co-operation with key allies such as the American and French.

Carmen Miranda?
Dang! Lena Horne has been taken (I gotta get up earlier)
I agree, Lena Horne
My thought was Grace Kelly, but really, I have no clue.
Katherine Hepburn? (I'm guessing this because of the age of the photographs, and the number of pant legs with the shoes.)
Gotta be Mz Lena – I can't imagine too many of the others posted wear pom-pom type ornaments on their ankles. Mz. Lena will live on.
If not Lena, then Bette Davis.

As if it wasn't obvious from its make-up style case that the OT-810 is aimed at teenage girls, then the fact that Carphone Warehouse is offering the phone with a redeemable voucher for Barry M lip-gloss (from Superdrug) should hammer the point home. It's not like the handset is expensive either, as it can be picked up on PAYG for just £50, so is it an ideal choice as a gift for daughters or nieces this Christmas?
What sets this phone apart from the competition is definitely its cutesy design. Rather than opting for a traditional candy-bar shape, or even the messaging phone styling of the OT-799 that we looked at recently, Alcatel has instead used a clamshell design that's obviously been styled to look much like a blusher case.
When closed, the front has a mirrored finish with a 2.0megapixel camera peeping out of one corner. Flip open the phone and you'll find that the mirrored look is continued on the bezel around the screen, while the QWERTY keyboard that sits beneath it has a matte white look, but is surrounded by glossy plastic, which is also used on the battery cover on the rear.
Another interesting feature of the design is the small LED matrix that's hidden behind the mirrored finish on the front and lights up to show different symbols and alerts. For example, when the phone is charging it shows a battery icon gradually being filled up with juice, whereas when you've got an unread text message it shows an unopened envelope icon with a question mark over it. It's a neat and stylish touch on such a cheap handset.
On the bottom right-hand corner you'll find a standard microUSB jack that's used for both charging the handset using the supplied wall charger or syncing it with a PC to transfer music tracks, photos and other files. The opposite corner houses a standard 3.5mm headphone jack.
Removing the cover on the rear reveals the battery and under this you'll find the microSD card slot, meaning you can't hotswap microSD cards. The phone only has 50MB of memory onboard, so if you want to make serious use of the MP3 player you will have to buy a microSD cards as there is none supplied in the box, though this is hardly surprising given its low price tag. Cards of up to 16GB are supported and these are pretty cheap these days being available online for as little as £9.
"The Alcatel OT-810's 4.3in screen is actually reasonably large"
Actually, that is going to have to be a reasonably small 4.3in screen - it has to be to fit inside a device only 70mm x 70mm (giving a diagonal for the device itself of only 3.9in).
Whilst you are at it, your spec page boosts the screen size to a truly impressive 4.6in.
Alcatel themselves only claim a 2.4in screen size.
Well spotted Martin, a 4.3in screen on a device this size would have been an incredible acheivement from Alcatel alright.

Looking Back on Where We've Been...
Inaugural Membership / Lifetime Members / Board Alumni / Photo Match
In 1989, 125 people from across the continent traveled to a retreat in Malibu, California, to begin discussions on the formation of a coalition of folk organizers. Invited by Clark and Elaine Weissman and the California Traditional Music Society, they were major presenters and small folk societies, people who'd done business across the continent, but who'd never met face to face. The earthquake that rocked southern California just days before the event was nothing in comparison to how this formational meeting changed the way that the folk music and dance presenters, performers, agents, managers, media, and record companies do business in North America.
A steering committee formed in Malibu and included members of the Philadelphia Folksong Society, Sing Out!, the Vancouver Folk Festival, Chicago's Old Town School of Folk Music, the California Traditional Music Society, Winston-Salem's Fiddle and Bow Society, International Bluegrass Music Association, Augusta Heritage Center, Woods Music and Dance Camp, Folk Legacy Records, Fox Valley Folklore Society, and Calliope House. The committee worked for a year to craft a set of bylaws and, when the community gathered in Philadelphia in January of 1990, those bylaws were approved and the North American Folk Music and Dance Alliance was officially born.
In 2008 the organization's name changed to Folk Alliance International to address and embrace international opportunities for North American members and the growing list of international members and delegates.
Early advocacy efforts contributed to preserving and acquiring permanent authorization for the American Folklife Center of the Library of Congress. FAI offers a business directory for delegates, and a non-profit group exemption program for U.S.-based organizations. Strategic partnerships with allied organizations are sought to increase support of the arts on a grassroots and international level.
Recent advocacy efforts have included addressing issues related to obtaining visas for international touring, a Performing Rights Organizations (PROs) agreement on behalf of house concert presenters, the release of a white paper on Copyright and Royalties, and a tip sheet for artists traveling by air with instruments.
FAI's annual international professional development and networking conference is the world's largest gathering of the Folk music community and industry with over 2500 delegates.
1. Education - To increase understanding of the rich variety, artistic value, cultural and historical significance, and continuing relevance of folk music and dance among educators, media, and the general public.
2. Networking - To provide a bridge to and from folk music and dance organizations and needed resources, and to help those organizations link with their constituencies.
3. Advocacy - To influence decision makers and resource providers on the national, state, provincial, and local levels, insuring the growth of folk music and dance.
4. Field Development - To support and encourage the development of new and existing grassroots folk music and dance organizations.
5. Professional Development - To strengthen the effectiveness of folk music and dance organizations by providing professional development opportunities.
6. Consumer Development - To build a stronger consumer base by identifying and involving current and potential folk music consumers and players through programs, marketing, and outreach.
FAI's International Headquarters is presently located at:
509 Delaware St. Unit 101, Kansas City, MO, 64105.
The annual conference takes place in a city and at a time designated by the Board of Directors and is currently in Kansas City, MO, USA up to and including the 2018 conference, after which it will return to Canada for one year.

Ben Stubbs tests the Queen-sized beds frequented by VIPs visiting the Snowy scheme.
I am in Princess Anne's bed, deep in sleep, when I feel a kick under the covers. My wife and I were meant to be in Prince Phillip's quarters, known as the "Duke's Box", but our hosts said we'd be more comfortable in Anne's room, with its views across the mountains.
We're staying at Queen's Cottage in Khancoban, on the western edges of the Snowy Mountains, an area that has hosted Queen Elizabeth, Prince Phillip and Princess Anne, each having come to inspect the enormous efforts of engineers and workers building the Snowy Mountains Scheme. The Queen's Cottage once provided VIP lodgings for royalty and celebrities (David Attenborough has visited) but is now open to regular travellers.
Khancoban was alive with activity during the building of Australia's largest hydroelectric scheme. The Murray 1 power station, 10 kilometres from town, produces enough electricity for almost 1 million homes in NSW, Victoria and the ACT. Locals tell me there are fewer than 300 people here now.
We pull in at the local pub for dinner and I order pan-fried trout pulled from the giant dam in front of us, washed down with a Kosciuszko Pale Ale. Next morning, we leave early and drive above the blanket of cloud still tucked in the valley, turning right onto Tooma Road for a journey through the heart of the mountains. Bone-white eucalypts and valleys of green foliage pass by. The air gets colder as we climb to Cabramurra, the highest town in Australia at 1488 metres. Roofs are pitched at steep angles here, hinting at how much snow falls in winter. The Queen also stayed at the then-Edinburgh Cottage in Cabramurra in March 1963 while touring Snowy construction sites.
We continue on to Kiandra, a ghost town about 20 minutes' drive away, looking out for the brumbies and wallabies that frequent the high country. We stop at what looks like an abandoned ski lodge. Waiting for us there is NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service ranger Mick Pettitt. Kiandra is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it place on the side of a hill, though it was once one of the most prosperous and populous places in NSW.
We're let into the old courthouse. Built from basalt in 1890, it's cold and sturdy, as though built to withstand an apocalypse. Inside, Pettitt talks us through the history of this boom-bust region. Graziers brought cattle to the high-altitude plains in 1859 and discovered gold in the hills and rivers. Miners, prospectors and desperadoes descended on Kiandra and by 1860, it was estimated that 15,000 people were here, looking to make a fortune.
Kiandra was also the birthplace of Australian skiing, as miners needed to transport themselves and their equipment to remote plots in winter. There are black-and-white photos of bearded cross-country skiers on the walls of the courthouse. I don't need colour to imagine what shade their toes would have been.
The optimism in Kiandra remained until they saw the worst of winter. The Sydney Morning Herald reported in 1861: "No idea can be formed except from the actual experience of the horrors of a winter in that part of the country." By then, deposits of "easy gold", as Pettitt puts it, had been exhausted and most miners moved on to warmer climes. Some, including many of the 700 Chinese settlers who lived here, stayed on, though the mining returns were poor.
The courthouse and police quarters were converted to a ski chalet in 1943. More recently, the National Parks & Wildlife Service inherited the buildings and is gradually refurbishing three lodges. Plans include a cafe and interactive exhibit on Kiandra. We walk around ruins to the chimney of the old general store, watching the Eucumbene River below us flow like a sheet of bubbling black glass.
Mick says coins from 17th-century China have been found in the area, brought by the Chinese miners to barter with. I walk on to the cemetery, where 47 graves of miners and their families lie. Of them, 19 are the graves of babies and young children, testament to the region's harsh conditions.
We drive on, past Adaminaby to Cooma. The Queen was among the people here, too, staying in a cottage in 1963. I walk by the cottage fence and wonder if people referred to her as "Her Majesty", or whether she adopted the small-town ways of the Snowies and was happy for people to call her plain old Elizabeth.
Getting there Khancoban is 550 kilometres south of Sydney; 470 kilometres north of Melbourne on the Alpine Way.
Staying there The Queen's Cottage, Pendergast Road, Khancoban, houses, cabin and studio apartment accommodation. Princess Anne's room costs' from $140 a night, including breakfast. See queenscottage.com.au.

st: Textpad and Stata 10 -- batch jobs interrupted
Tue, 20 Nov 2007 11:06:05 -0600
After upgrading to Stata 10, batch jobs executed from Textpad result in a Stata window with a message like "The do file was interrupted. Would you like the batch job to continue?" It runs normally after selecting yes. A minor problem but it would be nice to avoid the extra key strokes everytime I run a program. Changing parameters to the batch call, for instance /e to /b, does not alter the behavior. Has anyone else seen this?

A border keeping household order
Editor's note: This column is the second in a series about pets and children. You can access the first installment at http://tinyurl.com/77qqtxn.
We brought our 11-week-old border collie pup Toby home from the breeder's, still missing our sweet Harry. Being black and white borders, the two brothers looked similar, which was both comforting and confusing.
We were pleased to find that Toby didn't have nearly as much interest in herding our feet or the children. And he took to the housebreaking and the electric fence and his daily walks well enough too.
But there was something about Toby's right ear, the way it flapped forward at a jaunty angle, wayward and uncooperative (see photo). It might look cute and photogenic to you, but to us, it gives a little insight into our pup's mental stability (cue the circus music and let it play until the end of the column).
From the second Toby sets paws from his crate in the morning to the second he crawls into it at night, he is in constant motion. Forget all that jazz about harnessing wind energy and solar power. What we really need to do is somehow tap into the energy of a border collie puppy. I truly believe that the energy contained in just one litter of border collie puppies could meet the energy demands of our entire country.
Without sheep to herd, a border collie will think up his own "jobs." Toby has taken it upon himself to "manage" our outdoor property, which involves ordering the birds, squirrels and the occasional deer about the yard. When that job is sufficiently addressed, he feels very dutiful about barking at bikes and scooters and swinging them around by his teeth until they're airborne.
He also is very concerned with the way our tires move willy-nilly up and down the driveway, so he directs them to their proper places with a few well-placed nips. The same goes for UPS trucks and pest control trucks, anything with those round, rubber sheep. He also scolds any vehicle that makes a tad too much noise going past the house.
He bosses basketballs. Just the sound of a basketball bouncing on the driveway sends him into "manage" mode, when he starts barking and biting and chasing the ball to the point that no one wants to play anymore. "Chuck it"—the launching of a tennis ball from a long, plastic rod—is another job he takes very seriously, as is herding airplanes and helicopters away from the house at breakneck speed.
But sometimes he is too good at all of his jobs, and boredom sets in. At these times he will turn over the trash cans and scatter its contents all over the lawn. He will dig up outdoor landscape lighting wires and chew through them. He will chew through boxes left on the porch, then chew through the boxes' contents.
He will sneak into an accidentally-left-open garage and steal plastic water bottles and sponges and basketballs and shoes and things with tires. He will pull bows off door wreaths. He will burrow through fresh grass clippings, gnaw on the yard man's leaf blower and harry the edger. He will bark for hours straight at the dog next door, or up the tree where the squirrel went, or at the door to come in.
When inside, he will mutilate stuffed animals and destroy his "chew-proof" dog toys. He will man-handle the sofa cushions. He will drop his soggy tennis ball in a basket full of clean laundry so that I will throw it to him, over and over. He will sneak upstairs to mark. He will try to hump our crawling baby. But perhaps most disturbingly, he will follow me around from room to room, staring with those border collie laser-eyes of his, as if he's just asking for a job to do, any job at all.
He can't lay down. He won't rest. Resting is for chumps. For lap dogs. For cats.
Toby is now almost three years old, and with the years, he has mellowed just a bit. He is now able to slow down enough to enjoy the occasional snuggle, the rare nap on his favorite red leather chair, the daily rawhide bone. In spite of being certifiably bonkers and too smart for his own good, he has proven to be a sweet-natured dog, easy with children and licky with babies and men with beard stubble.
And when I take a step back, I see that he fits our family kind of perfectly.
(P.S. We won't ever forget you, Harry.)

Good location in Copenhagen for the metro and bus, Hassan welcomed us well and is very knowlegable about the shops and getting around. The flat was clean and tidy.
The place was great and Hassan was a great host. He greeted us and gave us a tour of the place. Good location close to transportation and very quiet.
Our stay in Hassan's comfortable apartment lasted for 3 days and we liked it a lot. The apartment is not centrally located but the bus stop is withing a 30seconds walk, so we could reach any destination we needed. Hassan is a very welcoming host. He met us at the bus stop and explained everything. The apartment is quite tidy. The bathroom is quite big for a Danish bathroom. The beds were comfortable to sleep. There were no problems with the wi-fi. So, we liked the apartment and would be glad to stay there again when we are in Copenhagen next time.
The apartment was certainly comfortable, and we enjoyed staying there. Hassan was friendly and helpful, and gave us much background and local information. That said, there were some minor quibbles:
1. Coming from the local station, we spent some time trying to find #120. I suggest some simple directions for first time visitors.
2. The bathroom basin was missing its plug. Outside Europe I usually travel with a universal plug, but hadn't thought it necessary for Denmark.
3. The centre light in the back bedroom seemed very dim.
But we had a very pleasant weekend in Copenhagen, and the apartment was well positioned, with both bus and train easily accessible.
Our host Hassan met us directly in the apartment and gave us a short overlook and explanation of everything.
He was very kind and also explained the best traffic opportunities to the city for us.
The apartment is not directly located in the centre, but the transportation is quick and easy to use, in 10 min. you can be in the city centre.
The apartment is pretty traditional, beds are alright and wifi is also working good.
The kitchen is big enough to cook and prepare your dinner, if you want to stay home for an evening.
The only negative thing we discovered is, that one door knob is broken, so you can not close a door competely, but this tiny thing did not bother us.
You can slightly hear the traffic on the street, but it is not annoying while sleeping.
Furthermore the apartment is located in a pretty quit neigboorhood.
You have the bus stop directly across the street and a supermarket is 3 minutes walking away.
All in all we are satisfied and happy with the apartment and would recommend it, if you want to stay in CPH.
Hassan is a very helpful host, who gives nices tips for public transport, sights, etc. in Copenhagen. The main light in the living room was not working - otherwise the flat is good. In total we can recommend the flat for a stay.
Thank you that we could rent your apartment. We felt very comfortable in your home. Thanks again Michael Jan Birgit and Philipp
I enjoyed my stay at Hassan's very much. Hassan's very friendly and his place is easy to get to and from the airport or city center. Transport nearby, is train and buses. A few supermarkets close aswell.
Hassan is a really kind person doing his best for his guests. We discovered he is also French speaking on top of Danish or English or Arabic... Everything was easy and smooth with him and we loved that. His apartment was clean and everything was as mentioned on the site which is really appreciable. The rooms are not too small and the leaving room was big enough for us to host our local family for a wonderful Christmas dinner. The kitchen is very convenient despite the dishwasher was out of order when we arrived (Hassan explained he could not fix it before our arrival because it happened to his previous guests the day before). Internet was working very well. The area is very calm. The bus stop is 100 m away and a supermarket is located at 5 mn walk. It was ideal for us to visit our local family and we may come back again. Thank you Hassan.
This flat is very nice, clean and spacious. Good size kitchen, large well furnished sitting room, with big-screen tv, and access to sunny balcony. 2 bedrooms, and nice bathroom. We stayed 5 days, and had a really good time. The area is a little away from the city center, but there is easy access to public transport and it is nice and quiet in the evenings.

Despite an expanding wealth of online resources, genealogists will always need to "hit the road." In addition to visiting local repositories, court houses, and libraries where unique and "not-yet-online" resources are available, genealogists want to visit old farms, churches, and cemeteries. They want to see the home places of their ancestors. They want to feel the wind on the prairie of Nebraska or see the snow fall on a New Hampshire field.
Through the use of some handy software and hardware tools, the tradition of the genealogy trip is becoming easier to manage and easier to accomplish.
The key to a successful journey, whether it's a genealogical research trip or a vacation to the islands, is planning. You want to pack the right stuff, get the tickets, and arrange for pet sitting. More specifically for a genealogy trip, in addition to your research plan, you want to know how to find the old homestead, the repositories, and the cemeteries. In other words, you want to place your family history locales on a contemporary map.

Got Almond Milk? This Is Why a Mother Jones Correspondent Thinks You're an 'Ignorant Hipster'
Posted on Jul 22, 2014
According to Mother Jones food and agriculture correspondent Tom Philpott, co-founder of a center for sustainable food education in North Carolina, almonds leave a "rather intense ecological footprint" and thus should be consumed sparingly, as a "special treat," not pulverized and drained to create the dairy alternative so many Americans are consuming these days. Moreover, what almond milk producers are selling, Philpott says, is actually a "jug of filtered water clouded by a handful of ground almonds" that doesn't compare to the nut's significant nutritional value.

Smith Warns Diabetics
State Senator Ada L. Smith has announced that several law firms are working together to examine the claims of diabetics who took the drug Rezulin. The drug was prescribed from 1997 till March of 2000, when the FDA removed it from the market after 90 cases of liver failure resulting 63 deaths. Around 750,000 Americans took the drug in the three-year period.

Helping animals means helping people
Pets, farm animals, working animals and wildlife have a profound impact on the lives of everyone on earth. For billions of people around the world, animals are essential to their livelihood. By working with the people who rely on their animals, World Animal Protection provides welfare intervention and support that is both practical and long-lasting.
Economic and sustainable development
The livestock sector employs around 1.3 billion people. Additionally, a billion of the world's poorest people depend on animals for food, income, transport, social status, and security. In developing countries, the loss or incapacity of an animal can mean poverty. A well cared for and healthy horse or donkey means that goods get to market and that there is a steady income for carriage drivers. World Animal Protection works to provide owners with the equipment and training they need to care for their animals. We also work to increase access to veterinary services through our mobile clinics.
Learn more about our projects for working animals or watch World Animal Protection's CEO Mike Baker's address at the United Nations on animal welfare and sustainable development:
Farm animals, the environment and human health
Better animal welfare on the farm can also support more sustainable food production, less impact on the environment and a reduced risk of diseases and bacteria (like Salmonella) ending up in the food produced.
World Animal Protection works to promote humane livestock and pasture-based systems as they often require less grain, fuel and water resources. These systems also keep the number of livestock on a farm low enough to reduce the risk of major pollution and disease spread. For example on cage-free egg farms, when smaller flocks of hens forage outdoors, the manure can be absorbed into the ground, acting as fertilizer. When tens of thousands of hens are kept on one farm, the huge amount of manure produced must be transported and stored at a steep environmental cost. Also, recent research indicates that caged hen operations have an increased risk of Salmonella infection.
We are working hard to convince governments, farmers and consumers that humane and sustainable farming is better for animals, people and the environment. At the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (a major global conference on the environment and sustainable development) we worked to ensure that animal welfare was firmly on the agenda. We asked delegates to recognize the importance of livestock in economic development and the role farm animals play in helping to lift people out of poverty and build sustainable livelihoods in developing countries. Learn more and read our submission.
Rabies in communities
In developing countries, rabies can be fatal for animals and humans alike. Local governments often resort to randomly culling animals (mostly dogs) by poisoning, electrocuting or shooting them. These methods are inhumane, causing the animals great pain and suffering. They are also ineffective in the long term as they do not address the root cause of the problem.
Killing dogs in response to rabies has never been shown to eliminate the disease. But rabies is completely preventable. There is a scientifically-proven, humane and sustainable alternative to fear and cruelty – it's vaccination. We have a global initiative to establish dog vaccination programs in countries where dogs are killed in response to rabies.
Our approach to rabies control has already proven successful in many countries. This work has included a mass vaccination project in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, where more than 70 percent of the dog population was immunized; each dog was given a red collar to show local community members it was vaccinated. The project mirrored another successful World Animal Protection-funded project in Bali, where 210,000 dogs were vaccinated and – as a result – cases of rabies in dogs and humans dramatically decreased.
Disaster preparedness and response
The health and welfare of animals and people experiencing disasters are inextricably linked. In times of disaster many people refuse to evacuate without their animals; or they risk returning to dangerous disaster zones in order to care for them. World Animal Protection actively works with governments and local partners to respond to emergencies, and to reduce the risk of future disasters for animals and the communities that depend on them. We work co-operatively with humanitarian aid agencies and never compromise their ability to assist people affected by disaster.
Protecting livestock to rebuild lives
Some of the world's poorest and most disaster-vulnerable communities are also those who are most reliant on livestock, poultry and working animals for survival. To neglect to prepare and respond to the health and welfare needs of these animals in disasters is to also neglect the health, welfare and livelihoods of the people who depend on them for food, transport and income.
The loss of livestock and working animals in disasters can result in their owners and the local community suffering malnutrition and food insecurity, debt, dependency and despair. World Animal Protection's work to provide for the health and welfare of animals in disasters benefits both the animals themselves and the communities who depend upon them.
Learn more about why animals matter in a disaster or get up to the minute news from across the globe in our Animals in Disaster blog.
Pets are a source of comfort
Where pets are caught up in a disaster, their owners will often try to rescue them. Those that are forced to abandon their pets have been shown to have an increased risk of post-traumatic stress as a result. Our work to rescue, shelter, feed and treat pets, and hopefully reunite them with their owners (or re-home them if needed) benefits both the animals and their owners.

The Flaming C Takes on Klarion the Witch Boy on Conan O'Brien [Video]
Every time we think we've seen the last of Conan O'Brien and Bruce Timm's masterful co-creation The Flaming C, the oven mitt and fishnet stocking-clad crusader seems to find his way into yet another compelling cameo on Cartoon Network's Young Justice. Following stints as a Superman stand-in, The Flaming C took on a new (and completely awesome) role as Doctor Fate in a fight against Klarion the Witch Boy and his familiar Teekl on last night's episode of Conan. The clash could only result in a video entitled "The Flaming C Opens Some Whoop Ass on a Cat." Indeed he does, after the jump.
The Flaming C certainly spices up Young Justice's seventh episode, "Denial," with a far more exposed face (and legs) than Doctor Fate originally brought to the table. Having used YJ's Kid Flash Wally West as a host, Nabu didn't necessarily seem like the choosiest ancient deity, but granting his powers to Conan and Timm's hero seems right on the money in any continuity.

Urban Dictionary, helping people since it appeared.
Wait, wait wait wait wait...
You've known me how long and you're JUST NOW asking this? >.>
It's what Deca said. In the TV show Firefly they used a lot of made up words to replace swears so that they didn't have to censor anything and could still keep that "badass don't give a shit" feeling in the way they talk (at least, that's my take on why they did it.) He also used other languages (Chinese being the main one.)
The 2 I use frequently are Gorram/Gorramit which means Goddamn/Goddamnit/God damn/ god damn it. The other one is Ruttin, which means fuckin. (as in this ruttin thing = this fucking thing. Not the inoutinout kind.)
[e]: An example from the show of ruttin: (also one of my favourite scenes.)
I actually never heard of gorram or what it could mean, but I assumed it was something like, "god damn it".

I nearly got expelled for flipping someone off once, the only thing that saved me was my perfect attendance record (no tardies, no sluffs, no unexcused absences). Trust me, when you live in Utah, you have to REALLY watch what you say, especially "hell" and "goddamn." I don't care at all about swearing, but I do watch my language when I know that everyone around me will take offense. Plus, people are very shocked when they see someone as small as I am and as innocent looking as I am, swear.

Most listings are in the $0's per square foot per year. The Highlands region is seeing a decline in rates. In the last 3 months, the median rate decreased $22 per sqft per year. That's a 100% decline in rent.
In the last 90 days, 1 listings have come on the market, which means office spaces might be leasing quickly. You'll want to be prepared to tour spaces as quick as possible. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet on the market, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
The standard measurement for office space in this area is around sqft. Most properties in this region are approximately 3 floors. Most buildings in this market were built in 1978.
Not much of the real estate is used for commercial space, so it might be hard to find office space. Information is the dominant industry in this area. Commute by public transit is the most popular way to get to work amongst Highlands folk. Commuting close to an hour and a half a day is the norm for those who opt to reside in this part of town.

Many people are turning to Grandma's favorites for alternative beauty treatments and products. This is due to the recent economy's blues and because many people are trying to become healthy consumers and live a greener life. You can save tons of money by using natural beauty products, and many of the ingredients are right in your kitchen pantry. In addition, there are many online beauty recipes with natural ingredients that you can follow if you are not sure how to mix them.
If you have dry skin, you can use almond oil, olive oil or avocado to soothe and moisturize. Or blend several oils for a special hair treat! A few drops of lemon mixed with your shampoo acts as a clarifying agent. Cucumber has the same effect. A small dab of olive hair spread through your hair before you rinse will give shine to your hair. Mayonnaise is another common product to use as a treatment for dry hair. Leave it on for 20 minutes before you shampoo.
Lemon juice is also good to lighten yellow nails and dark skin spots. Another great ingredient to lighten skin is buttermilk – you can add it to your bath. Milk is good to soothe and moisturize skin – you can add this to your bath as well.
Use common salt or baking soda as a skin scrub. Baking soda is also great to whiten teeth. Long ago, people used salt to wash their teeth when they did not have toothpaste available.
Use eggs whites to make a facial mask for oily skin. It will tighten pores. Use oatmeal for a normal skin facial mask. To reduce the appearance of puffy eyes, use two slices of cucumber.
Coffee grounds are a perfect treatment to reduce cellulite. Caffeine is an ingredient used in many expensive cellulite treatments. Apply old coffee grounds to skin and wrap with plastic (kitchen wrap), leaving for at least fifteen minutes, then rinse. You'll look fantastic in your swimwear this summer!
A combination of banana, yogurt, and honey is a common facial mask for all skin types. Mix ingredients and leave on your face for at least 15 minutes, then rinse. Rose water or witch hazel make great skin toners to follow your mask treatment. A mix of sugar and honey makes for another great facial mask and scrub combination.
Tomato juice neutralizes the effects of chlorine in hair. Apply tomato juice or sauce after you shampoo your hair and before you use your conditioner.
Don't spend a lot of money in clarifying shampoos; use a mix of vinegar and water instead. Vinegar removes buildup from hair products and leaves your hair shiny. Adding a bit of baking soda to your shampoo (in your hand) will also act as a clarifying agent.
For tired feet, use salt and olive oil as a scrub. You can also add strawberries to the mix to smooth the skin and condition it. The olive oil helps moisturize the skin while the salt is a disinfectant and gets rid of dead skin cells. Massage onto feet and rinse.
There are many great ingredients in your pantry to pamper yourself with and enhance your beauty. There is no need to spend lots of money on expensive beauty products!

A Texas Matchmaker HTML version
XI. A Turkey Bake
Deweese and I came back from Mexico during Christmas week. On reaching Las
Palomas, we found Frank Nancrede and Add Tully, the latter being also a trail
foreman, at the ranch. They were wintering in San Antonio, and were spending a
few weeks at our ranch, incidentally on the lookout for several hundred saddle
horses for trail purposes the coming spring. We had no horses for sale, but
nevertheless Uncle Lance had prevailed on them to make Las Palomas
headquarters during their stay in the country.
The first night at the ranch, Miss Jean and I talked until nearly midnight. There
had been so many happenings during my absence that it required a whole
evening to tell them all. From the naming of Anita's baby to the rivalry between
John and Theodore for the favor of Frances Vaux, all the latest social news of the
countryside was discussed. Miss Jean had attended the dance at Shepherd's
during the fall, and had heard it whispered that Oxenford and Esther were
anything but happy. The latest word from the Vaux ranch said that the couple
had separated; at least there was some trouble, for when Oxenford had
attempted to force her to return to Oakville, and had made some disparaging
remarks, Tony Hunter had crimped a six-shooter over his head. I pretended not
to be interested in this, but secretly had I learned that Hunter had killed Oxenford,
I should have had no very serious regrets.
Uncle Lance had promised Tully and Nancrede a turkey hunt during the holidays,
so on our unexpected return it was decided to have it at once. There had been a
heavy mast that year, and in the encinal ridges to the east wild turkeys were
reported plentiful. Accordingly we set out the next afternoon for a camp hunt in
some oak cross timbers which grew on the eastern border of our ranch lands.
Taking two pack mules and Tiburcio as cook, a party of eight of us rode away,
expecting to remain overnight. Uncle Lance knew of a fine camping spot about
ten miles from the ranch. When within a few miles of the place, Tiburcio was sent
on ahead with the pack mules to make camp. "Boys, we'll divide up here," said
Uncle Lance, "and take a little scout through these cross timbers and try and
locate some roosts. The camp will be in those narrows ahead yonder where that
burnt timber is to your right. Keep an eye open for _javalina_ signs; they used to
be plentiful through here when there was good mast. Now, scatter out in pairs,
and if you can knock down a gobbler or two we'll have a turkey bake to-night."
Dan Happersett knew the camping spot, so I went with him, and together we took
a big circle through the encinal, keeping alert for game signs. Before we had
gone far, evidence became plentiful, not only of turkeys, but of peccary and deer.
Where the turkeys had recently been scratching, many times we dismounted and
led our horses--but either the turkeys were too wary for us, or else we had been
deceived as to the freshness of the sign. Several successive shots on our right

Date of Stay: May, 2011
This is a great campground for tents and pop-ups. Well-kept, very wooded and terrific for the weekend warriors. Family friendly on beautiful lake with many lakeside sites. Nice beach, boat launch, big playground, well kept bath and showers. There are no sewer or water hook-ups. Level, dirt sites with large, extra nice firepits. Campground roads are paved, but narrow and so winding that it is very difficult to navigate. We saw several people accidentally drive into the picnic area and have to back their units out. There is one dump and water station, but the waiting line for it crosses the traffic line to the boat launch. We were lucky that the campground was not busy the weekend we were there, because the roads are so narrow, and there are many trees making it difficult to back in our trailer. The people are very friendly and helpful and they work hard keeping the park nice. Great for families and camping. I wouldn't recommend for big rigs.
Date of Stay: October, 2010
We rate this park a 10 plus! It is by far the nicest park we have ever stayed in. Extraordinarily clean and well kept. Staff are helpful and friendly. Roads are black top with nice lighting. Lot sizes are large, with generous cement pads and patios. Fire pits are heavy duty, large and well placed, some with BBQ grates. There are quite a few seasonal units which are nicely landscaped. There are many waterfront sites. I don't think there is a bad site in the park. Most have a lovely view. The sandy beach and clear water are clean. There is a boat launch with docks. The surrounding towns are beautiful and offer everything you could want. Camping here is a spectacular experience!
Date of Stay: October, 2010
If you enjoy a very "Campy" atmosphere, this is for you. It is aptly named, located in an old pine forest. Narrow, dirt roads, no paved sites, very little grass, minimal sunshine. Dark, shady park. Tiny campsites, crowded together. Lots of older, seasonal trailers. The entry drive is deceptively modern, sunny and blacktop. The surrounding countryside is beautiful. Gorgeous scenery and lovely towns.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
Extremely clean park. Owners are friendly, hardworking and helpful. Smaller, lovely, park, on a good sized, pretty lake with plenty of boat parking. Quite a lot of seasonal units. Lots are a generous size and level. Good fire pits. There are 2 long fishing docks. They do try to route the traffic "one way" inside the park. The signage could be better and it's a little goofy to figure out at first. Nice park, quaint town, plenty of unique shopping and places to eat. We look forward to returning and recommend it.
Date of Stay: April, 2010
This is the nicest park in the area, convenient to all the attractions. The staff is very friendly: they work around the clock keeping things in clean, working order. We had a pull through site on the end: it was a nice, generous size. The laundry facilities are clean and easy to use. The campground office has a good gift shop with a variety of reasonably priced souvenirs. We had a good experience and would recommend this park.
Date of Stay: April, 2010
There is good signage on the highway directing you to this park. This is a clean park with amazing large sites. It's a great place for groups and families as the basketball courts and playground areas are well lit for evening play. The only reason we did not rate this a 10 is because they do not have full hook ups available. However, the dump station is clean, convenient and easy to use. We would stay here again and recommend it.
Date of Stay: April, 2010
Exceptionally clean park. Laundry facility was clean and easy to use. The staff is friendly, helpful and knowledgable. The trolley stop at the campground entrance is very convenient, the trolley drivers were friendly and helpful. This is a busy, congested town, we recommend taking advantage of the trolley service, it is easier to use than other places we have visited. For fifty cents it is well worth it! We highly recommend this park. If we are lucky enough to return to this beautiful area, we would definitely stay at this park.
Date of Stay: November, 2009
The owners are friendly and helpful. The park is clean and well kept with excellent laundry facilities. We visited the area for several days and had the opportunity to compare this park to others. This park is gated and well lit, we felt safe, although we would not walk the neighborhood after dark. There is a convenient bus stop in front of the park. The owners cheerfully assisted us with good tips for utilizing NOLA public transportation.
Date of Stay: July, 2009
We had a great site with a bridge view. For a large park, we didn't have the feeling that we were camping with 800 other families. There is easy access to the bike trail, we were able to ride our bikes to Macinaw City, catch the ferry to the Island, and rode our bicycles around the perimeter of the Island. We have done this trip several times, we recommend that if you are not an experienced biker, or if you have small children, you may be better off driving in to town. The biking on the Island can be long, uphill, challenging, and at times congested. However, it will be the most beautiful bike ride you have ever taken! We have rented a horse and buggy on previous trips, and found that to be an enjoyable way to tour the Island. We have camped here 3 times, we hope to return and highly recommend it!
