Connor Barth remembers sitting in his car in the parking lot outside the Miami Dolphins' facility in the summer of 2009, trying to decide if his NFL dream was still worth pursuing. "I didn't even know if I wanted to play anymore because I was just down on myself," he said. "But I kept fighting and I ended up here and just kicked away. I'm really excited to be where I'm at. It's a blessing, and I just want to continue to work and get better." "Here" is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' facility, and it's also his home for the foreseeable future after he signed a new four-year contract with the team on Thursday. The Buccaneers had placed their franchise tag on Barth, a pending unrestricted free agent, on March 1, and he could have returned to the team at any time on a one-year deal simply by signing that tender offer. Instead, Barth and the Buccaneers worked out a deal that indicates the team's confidence in him following his record-breaking season in 2011. And thus, two years and

Hieroglyphs were far more than a language. They were an omnipresent and all-powerful force in communicating the messages of ancient Egyptian culture for over three thousand years. This ancient form of expression was used as art, as a means of identifying Egyptian-ness, even for communication with the gods. In this exciting new study, Penelope Wilson explores the cultural significance of hieroglyphs with an emphasis on previously neglected areas such as cryptography and the continuing decipherment of the script into modern times. She covers topics like the origins of writing in Egypt, hieroglyphic script and the Egyptian language, hieroglyphs and art, Scribes and everyday writing, and the decipherment of Egyptian Hieroglyphs in the modern world. She also examines the powerful fascination hieroglyphs still hold for us today.

Time changes - Brazilian instructors and students have to fit foreign universities demand or requests. School calendar is something else to adjust for both parts. Teletandem practice cannot be part of UNESP Letras course curriculum for the reasons above.

"He doesn't sleep much and calls the beautician to the palace at four am to work on his wrinkles. He has a hair salon in his presidential Boeing 757, uses hair inserts and receives collagen injections to 'lift' his face. That's why he once showed up at a function, with his face all swollen, saying he had been bitten by a wasp."
The vanity and soap-opera lifestyle of Carlos Saul Menem, likely to win re-election tomorrow for a new four-year term as President, are legendary. Many Argentinians express embarrassment at what they call his coarseness but give him the benefit of the doubt for several years of economic stability after decades of chaos.
"With Menem, politics has become a show. Look at the people he's invited recently to the presidential palace - Claudia Schiffer, The Rolling Stones," says Walter Goobar, an editor at the daily Pagina 12 newspaper. "He likes to surround himself with stars. His official residence has become a Disneyland - swimming pools, a golf course, cinemas, an amusement arcade."
Harmless enough, perhaps, like his "Saturday Night Fever" white suits, black shirts and silk ties, or the red Ferrari he received as a goodwill gift from Italian businessmen.
Far more serious criticisms have been levelled against the diminutive 64-year-old President, from wife abuse and chronic marital infidelity to links with arms and drug-dealers, to giving lucrative jobs to his family members. But he has survived all of them. Of 100 per cent Syrian origin, he "has an Arab sense of destiny and always believed he would one day be a caudillo", a leader, according to friends.
Although in election campaign comments this week he said he would not run again in 1999, few believe he means it. He has previously been quoted as saying he would like to remain in power until 2013. "He changed the constitution to get a second term. Don't be surprised if he eventually proposes a constitutional monarchy and runs for king!" said an East European diplomat here.
Mr Menem's support ensured provincial governorships for the former Formula One driver Carlos Reutemann and a Sixties pop singer, Palito Ortega. His close friend, the footballer Diego Maradona, this week wore an embroidered "Vote Menem" band on the "wrist of God".
Mr Menem's Arab connections served him well during his rise through the Peronist political apparatus.
He visited President Hafez al-Assad of Syria and Colonel Muammar Gaddafi of Libya and both were widely rumoured to have poured millions into his successful 1989 election campaign. His 1966 marriage to Zulema Yoma, a young woman from the same Syrian village as his father, was seen as arranged, with politics and business in mind.
And so began the soap opera and series of scandals involving his Syrian in-laws, sometimes described as Yomagate. Mr Menem appointed Zulema's younger sister, Amira Yoma, as his private secretary and gave administrative jobs to her brothers.
Thus did one of the world's best-known arms dealers, Monzer al-Kassar (a Syrian known as the Prince of Marbella, where he lives), receive a handy Argentinian diplomatic passport.
Thus, too, did Amira's then husband, Ibraham al-Ibrahim, a Syrian intelligence agent close to President Assad, end up in the equally handy post of customs chief at Buenos Aires's Ezeiza international airport despite speaking barely a word of Spanish.
After reports that Amira and her husband regulary carried suitcases full of cash between Argentina and various countries, both were accused of laundering drug money. Charges against Amira were later dropped while her ex-husband is said to be in exile.
Mr Menem has since dumped the in-laws and his wife after nearly 30 years of turbulent marriage. In a popular biography of Mr Menem entitled El Jefe (The Chief) by Gabriela Cerruti, an Argentinian journalist, Zulema describes how her husband beat her and threatened to kill her. She, in turn, publicly threatened to kill him on several occasions.

Perhaps Terabithia was like a castle where you came to be knighted. After you stayed for a while and grew strong you had to move on. —Katherine Paterson, Bridge to Terabithia
In 1977, Katherine Paterson wrote her Newbery-winning classic Bridge to Terabithia. It is the story of a boy who copes with the tragic death of his friend by finding refuge and healing in the imaginary kingdom of Terabithia, an enchanted realm they created together. Forty years later, authors continue to expand upon Paterson's adept use of childhood imagination by adding touches of fantasy to stories, with the same intent of guiding characters—and, by extension, readers—through heavy emotional trials, such as grief, death, illness, and homelessness. More often than not, these fantasy elements give shape to intangible fears or worries, making them easier to understand, accept, or overcome. Here are some of the titles that tackle tough topics with the help of a little magic.

The Dyerville Tales. By M. P. Kozlowsky. Illus. by Brian Thompson. 2014. HarperCollins/Walden Pond, $16.99 (9780061998713). Gr. 3–6.

My Diary from the Edge of the World. By Jodi Lynn Anderson. 2015. Aladdin, $16.99 (9781442483873). Gr. 4–7.

The Nest. By Kenneth Oppel. Illus. by Jon Klassen. 2015. Simon & Schuster, $16.99 (9781481432320). Gr. 5–8.

Choosing Political Science Term Paper Topic
Are you in trouble choosing a good topic for your term paper? Here we present several tips to help with this task.
If you experience problems with choosing an effective topic for your political science term paper, you are not alone. It is clear that to write a good term paper, you need to find a good topic to write about. One of the biggest term paper writing mistakes is not paying enough attention and time to think over its title.
How to Find Ideas for Political Science Research Paper?
Political science is one of the most complicated social disciplines for students. It deals both with political theory and practice, analysis of political behavior. In order to create well reasoned political science research paper, you need to choose subject you understand well to develop a social-oriented research at a deep level. It is more difficult to write, than an essay, because you must cover political topic and back it up with properly referenced arguments.
Here are some tips concerning political science research paper ideas.
How to Write a Physics Research Paper
Physics is the science that quantifies and qualifies the relationships between matter and motion. One of the dominant ways of scientific analysis in physics is a research paper. Due to the experimental nature of the subject, experimental analysis and examine is the core for developing new knowledge. As a science of development, physics takes into account and covers various elements of our life, starting from transportation and development of new technologies and going deeply into the mechanical innovation. Physics is extremely empirical science and in order to perform reliable and valuable analysis that will present readers with additional information and provide reasonable supportive argument the hypothesis discussed on the initial stages, it is crucial to consider such methods as quantitative and qualitative valuation, as well as statistical analysis.
Essay about Genetically Modified Food
Guess, what unites McDonald's French Fry, soybean and tomato? The answer is not at all pleasing and predictable. The point is that they are representatives of the food which is often genetically modified and then sold in the supermarkets. The process of genetic modifying lies in the fact, that scientists take genetic information from the organism and insert it into the other one. That is how they get an opportunity to make food crops be always fresh and grow faster and bigger. Although everything sounds quite unclouded, it is extremely important to remove the genetically modified foods from everyday life because of the lethal threat. It affects human health, the environment and global economy in a dreadful way.
Research Papers on Media
Media is a science that falls into the scope of the publicity and advertisement. Main objective of this science is to identify the main sources and ways of attracting target audience to a particular product. When we walk in the city and find ourselves diving into the colourful banners on the streets or listening short announcements in the underground, reading newspaper with a lot of small and big advertisement campaigns – it is all the result of the media specialists' work. "Your advertisement could be here" is one of the very common ways to attract your attention and if you read this phrase on the wall or on the city stand, it means that these promotional tactics work and you are one of the target audience.
Research Paper Topics on Psychology
Human being is built in such a way that he or she continuously analyzes his feelings, emotions and reactions to external factors. With this statement in mind, we could conclude that all the individuals are to some extent psychologists of their own mind. No one can affect our behaviour and mental processes, but our own perception and self-analysis. The role of psychologist, on the other hand, is to help in gathering valuable data about various behavioural patterns among group of individuals and generalize this information for conceptual use and future reference.
Research Paper on Biology
One of the least certain elements of the nature is a plant. What are the effects of the human intervention in the vegetation of the particular areas? How can the humanity reduce negative impact on nature, not affecting the technological progress? These questions are widely discussed in scientific literature and practical studies performed in biological field.
How to Write a Sociological Research Paper
Research paper is one of the most complicated academic papers for students in the education process. No matter to what field a research paper is dedicated – social or natural – there is a standard format for it. The main purpose for the entire work is testing the hypothesis set for the research.
How to Write a Theology Paper?
Writing theology paper demands not only the subject knowledge, but also analytical abilities and specific writing skills. To write the theology paper in effective way you need to listen carefully to your supervisor or professor. Possibly, they will offer some key words, assisting to disclose the main idea of the paper.
How to Write a Geology Paper
Writing a geology paper is a very significant step for students, because it is their chance to practise in scientific writing and acquire useful skills and experience for their future thesis. Therefore, do not consider this task light-heartedly, but rather follow some standard regulations and requirements that will guide you.

washing machine drain
Recently the washing machine drain has been overflowing. I cleaned out the p trap with drano and flushed it. Seemed to work also the toilet near the washing machine is flushing properly now. It seemed to me that the drain pipe was clogged near the vent pipe. The drain pipe is still overflowing. The drain pipe is cast iron and has an extremely sharp p trap. Could the venting be the problem.
or is it the P trap. The house was built in 1966.
Is the washing machine drain its own standpipe, a floor drain or a utility sink??

Veitarian Chili Using Taco Seasoning
When it comes to eating food from various cultures there are often variations that the diner will experience. One such cuisine is Mexican food, but often Mexican food that is eaten has a number of variations that may not have been included in an authentic Mexican recipe.
In addition to the variations, many Mexican dishes served outside of Mexico use non-traditional ingredients. Primarily those non-traditional ingredients are substituted cheeses or tomato based sauces rather than the use of chilies.
Therefore, if wanting to prepare an authentic Mexican recipe it is important to decide on the dish that one wishes to prepare and find the appropriate recipe to follow. Also, it is important to utilize authentic ingredients.
Finding Authentic Mexican Recipes
There are many options available to the individual when wishing to prepare authentic Mexican recipes. One of the best ways to obtain an authentic recipe is to utilize the Internet.
First of all, it is important for the individual to understand for themselves the difference between authentic Mexican food and the variations that are available. Generally, the major difference between the two is the ingredients are used.
For example, many authentic Mexican recipes call for the dishes to be prepared utilizing cheese. However, the cheese that is used in Mexican dishes is often a white, rich and flavorful cheese called Asadero.
Therefore, when looking for authentic Mexican recipes it is important to be aware of the traditional ingredients utilized rather than the substitutes.
Another valuable resource is to obtain a cookbook that helps the individual prepare authentic Mexican recipes. These books can be either checked out from the local library or purchased. If considering the purchase of such a book, it is important to do research on the author to make sure that the recipe book shares with the reader authentic Mexican recipes. Additionally, these books can be bought at a bookstore or the consumer can go on line and purchase an authentic Mexican recipe cookbook used or new.
Where To Find Authentic Mexican Recipe Ingredients
Of course, if wishing to prepare an authentic Mexican dish it is important to utilize the right ingredients. Therefore, there are many resources available for the individual who wishes to maintain the integrity of the food dish that they are trying to create.
Often these ingredients can be found in many grocery stores. However, not just anywhere within the store. Often today, grocery stores have certain culturally diverse aisles with the store. There are generally Asian, Jewish, Hispanic sections. It is best to buy ingredients from that particular section.
For example, if preparing a Mexican rice recipe, generally any rice will do. However, the choice of spices that the recipe calls for is important. Therefore, it is important, in order to create an authentic Mexican recipe that the right spice be used. Generally, that spice is cumin and can be found in the speciality aisle of the grocery store.

His Apology
I had tried to appear relaxed as I prepared the tea and nanaimo bars. Luckily, before setting out to the beach to wait for a miracle to happen I had set the teapot with enough water for two. Just in case.
He had self-consciously walked into the kitchen and though I am sure he couldn't see me doing so, I was seeing his every move out of the corner of my eye. But now, after so much explaining and after my ruthless tears escaped me, he was kissing me. The storm outside was violently comparable with our first kiss: we both knew how badly we had wanted this.
"I'm sorry," he kept muttering in between his breathless kisses and I just nodded pulling him closer. At the moment I never wanted to let him go, a feeling that I hadn't felt in a long time; a feeling that had never been as powerful as this. Not even Jacob had pulled me into the moment of us like Alex did.
Time warped us in and I barely noticed that Alex had pulled me up on the marble counter, after pushing aside the nanaimo bars. The steam from the green tea filled cups tingled on my skin as Alex introduced himself to my neck. Yet again we were moving and I wasn't letting the movement disconnect me from the moment.
The lights were off in the room that Alex had brought us into. My mind was foggy and I faintly noticed Alex removing his baggy shirt. My fingers ran through his thick blond curls and I let our world swallow me whole, the darkness was enticing and the freedom of our love was nearly suffocating.

David Beckham has been involved in a car crash outside his Beverley Hills home.
Police were called to the scene after Beckham, 38, appeared to have pulled out of the hedge-lined driveway to his mansion and immediately collided head-on with a another car.
A source said to be close to the Beckham family confirmed the incident, telling Sky News: "There was an incident on Friday between David and a woman driving a car."
Reports suggested that no action would be taken against either driver, and the source added: "No one was hurt and there was no need for drivers to exchange details."
The former England captain was behind the wheel of his black Range Rover Sport, and had 14-year-old son Brooklyn in the front passenger seat with him, according to local media.
Photos captured by a reporter on the scene for X17online.com showed significant damage to the front of both cars involved.
The other vehicle was a white Acura, also a high-end 4x4, driven by an unidentified woman.
After the crash, Beckham reversed his vehicle back up the driveway before re-emerging a short while later to speak to police.
This is not the first time David and Brooklyn Beckham have been involved in a car crash – two years ago the pair had "a lucky escape", again in a black 4x4, while on the way to school.
That crash, on one of California's busiest highways, involved a number of vehicles and the driver of another car had to be taken to hospital.Reuse content

I recently ordered a Master Chief (from Halo) mask off Amazon for a costume I m building. I knew the mask itself would be too cheaply made to be suitable, but the picture showed that it had a great clear gold visor which would be perfect for my needs. All I really cared about was the visor, which I intended to remove for use with a custom built helmet. When it arrived, I discover that the actual mask looks nothing like the picture, nike free runs on sale which was probably of the original prototype mask. The mask they sent didn t have a full visor, just a tiny rectangle directly in front of the eyes of clear gold, while the rest of what should have been the visor was gold painted plastic that didn t come close to looking right.

11 Alive meteorologist Paul Ossmann The forecast for meteorologist Paul Ossmann future at 11 Alive WXIA TV is a bit cloudy. A source of mine yesterday told me his contract has not been renewed though he will remain at the NBC affiliate through late spring. Ossmann has been with the station since 1998 and currently does weather for the evening news on 11 Alive and sister station WATL TV. Prior to his time at 11 Alive, he spent more than 10 years at WAGA TV (now Fox 5), where he was the original host of Day Atlanta. general manager John Deushane declined to comment, citing policy about not discussing personnel contracts. That isn an outright denial so who knows? Ossmann, who is married with two teenage kids, also declined to comment. The most interesting item on his bio beyond his bonafides as a meteorologist: In his spare time, Paul competes in shot put in Masters Track and Field events across the country. During the 2008 Indoor track and field season, Paul had the second best throw in the world! In 2009 Paul won gold in the USA Masters Indoor and Outdoor National Championships! One of only a few select masters athletes to earn two golds in the same year. Join my Facebook fan page and Twitter. Last year we read Rodney article about how great the new news director at 11Alive was. force one of her lemmings called her. Now, they pushing that creepy Val on us and they got that recycled hack Hullinger moving on up while a talent like Ossman is shown his walking papers. It a year later and instead of getting better ratings they moved closer to 4th in the market. Chesley is absolutely repulsiive not to mention disrespectful of the city region in which he works. I never liked him, but I lost all tolerance for him when he continued harping on his Phillies then the Eagles. He was hired to work in ATL and it is a direct slap in OUR teams when he constantly talks trash about the Braves then the Falcons. Paul is a classy guy Chris is the best. I am up very early every day I listen to Channel 2 or 5 from 4:30 5:00 b/c I REFUSE to listen to the stupidity that is With Chesley. Several other morning teachers totally agree nike air max 1 sale with me. he wen got a certificate of broadcast meteorology via online through mississippii state university. this means he did not take calculus one through four, physics one through two etc. that qualifies you as a legit meteorologist, thus he does not qualify for the CBM(certified broadcast meteorologist) seal which is now what stations look for. if you not a legit meteorologist with an atmospheric science or meteorology degree, black air max 90 and can get the CBM you wont get a job starting in a couple of yearsI met him once very nice guy. There has always been that closed door snicker for years where people go, he married? To a WOMAN?? but regardless, he seems like a nice guy. I don think age has anything to do with it, I mean geez, Ken Cook is still at Channel 5 and while he a nice guy, he can barely make it through a segment without nike free run 5.0 messing up at least 2 3 times. It finally got to the irritating point. Glenn Burns constant, See? Just like I told you!!! self boasting caused me to stop watching channel 2 long ago. And I won even visit the 11alive website anymore due to that Whizometer thing, either. How they find these morons is beside me. All I want is the news, the weather and the sports. It doesn take more than a few minutes to give the mens nike free 5.0 weather forecast. Most of these weathermen/ weatherwomen act like they are about to preform brain surgery. I guess most of them failed drama class in grade school, and are trying to relive their youth. Paul talks to his audience as if we were all 10 years old, and the Wizometer doesn help. I want a real meteorologist, someone in this town who can do more than just show us the models, but actually give us a real weather forecast. Didn Jeff Hullinger leave about ten years mens nike free run 2 ago over no being paid enough? He then gets ten years older and less in demand and decides he can take what they are offering is my guess. I like Paul and Jeff, but it seems to be the nature of the successful people in the business. Unless Paul can co host American Idol with Ryan Seacrest, he will probably just float around the Atlanta networks and wind up somewhere local. With teenage kids I don see him leaving town. I wish him the best!

Kain: It's the Truth
I woke up early because of the smell of burning bacon, coming from the kitchen. Dad. I run down the blue staircase.
"Dad, i wish you would let me cook breakfast. You end up burning the house down." I say, sighing. I take a plate of bacon and sit at the table. Dad's sits down too.
After a while i ask him whats wrong.
"Son, a letter came in the post this morning. It's for you." He hands me a green envolope. Without delay in rip it open. The letter redd:
Dear Master Kain
We are glad to imform you that you are an Elemental. You are a controler of EARTH.
Your sincierly.
I'm compltly speechless. I reed the letter over and over again to be certain that i havn't made it up. But it's true. I can feel it.
"Did you know?" I ask dad.
"Yes. Me and you mother have known for a long time. We were just waiting for the right time to tell you. I knew before you were born."
"What!!!! How???"
"Because, I'm an elemental too"

Ok, first off, I got this lantern from a GoodWill store for $1 and it had the battery but not chargers. I realized after looking at it for a while and glancing at my solar gardenights that it was stupid not to have a solar charge option. I had a small solar charging panel/battery box that I saved from a patio string light that the bulbs went bad on. I modified the solar panel and soldered it to the charge circuit in the bottom of the lantern. The panel can hold two more AA rechargeables and charge both of them and the lithium battery up in less than 12 hrs of full sun. But, the best thing is that the panel and stand are small enough to fit inside the base of the lantern. Just an idea for any of you DIY'ers out there. Go out and buy a cheap string light from Walmart or target and modify it to charge you lantern off the sun. Easy fun proj. for cheap!!! Multi functional now!
Good things: it has 120V and 12v charging adapters supplied, and they fit in the base of the lantern very conveniently. I fully charged it and don't know how long it can last, I used it for about 4 hours and it was still going fine when I shut it off. It's definitely not going to make anyone blind from too much light, but it's a fair amount of light for sitting around, or if the electricity goes off and there's little to do. It's light, to carry, and of course you can't get burned on it. I dropped it once on concrete floor and it survived OK.
Cons: I don't think I could find the lumens rating in the advertising of the product, or I probably would not have bought it. It's like 30 or 35 lumens ( I forget which), found on the box. I guess they didn't want to disclose that. I had originally started out to buy another LED lantern that was rated at about 300 lumens.
Overall, for the price, it is pretty good. If you think you'll need to do something in the dark and will need a bright light, then keep shopping for a more powerful one instead.
I bought this light after seeing how well a buddies lantern worked and this light is one heck of a deal, it seems to run forever before needing recharging. Very convenient to have both a house and car charger stored in the base, just screw the bottom off and they both fall out on your lap. A few reviews have complained about the battery going bad after sitting for months without use, well one of the instructions in the manual is to not let it sit for months without charging. A battery is a battery no matter how well it is built. Every pulled out a old cellphone that you knew had a hot battery when you "parked it" and found the battery to be shot? Same concept here folks. You can not let any battery sit for 2+ months without some kind of charging, why do you think people put trickle chargers on unused auto/boat batteries through the winter?
Am going to buy more! Bought two of these for camping and love them. No, they do not give off as much light as a fuel powered one but you don't have to bring fuel. Bought these to be temporary until I buy the $60 Coleman I was looking at - don't know if I am going to buy it now. Dropped this lantern several times from the height of a pop up canopy and did not get a mark on it. Gave off enough light but do want a couple more for extra light. Brought them into the tents at night and with a bungi cord hung them from the tent ceiling - again worked great. Used it for two nights before I recharged, it hadn't gone out yet but wanted to make sure. I like that the cords store in the base so they won't get lost. Luckily I read about the cords in the reviews because it is not written anywhere on the box.
A previous review gave a low rating saying that the required adapters were not included. WRONG! The adapters, both 110v & 12v cigarette lighter, are IN THE BASE OF THE LANTERN. You merely unscrew the base, and both adapters are right there!
The review that I just read was GREAT - I have been frustrated because I couldn't find an adapter that fit this lantern = then I read the review and WA LA! They ARE in the base of the lantern!!! Problem solved. It DOES not tell you this on the box and it should!!
I just got this and couldn't understand why there was no charger with it. Finally while looking online as to how much the charger cost I saw a previous review saying that the chargers are under the bottom of the lantern:)
Wow! I was blown away when I read product reviews for this item. I was about to give this item a poor rating because I could not find an adapter/charger that would work. Thank you previous raters of this item.
I really do enjoy this lantern for its price. It actually lasts longer than I thought. Isn't incredibily bright but bright enough to see your rod and a few feet around you. What can you expect for under $20?
If I could change one thing about this item I would make a clear distinct picture on the front of the label of a hand unscrewing base to reveal chargers being stored in a convenient location. Its actually kinda cool if it were more abundantly clear.
i bought 2 of these last year on tax season...these are great i do alot of night fishing for big catfish...if these are fully charged when the green light appears it usally lasted me 2 fishing trips from dust till dawn easily...love the cord it comes with sometimes if i forgot to charge id simply plug it up to my car cig lighter and let it charge on the way...also used these around the house when out electric went out and also camping...id rather use these then propane cause of the propane buying and having to run to the store at the last minute to buy some and saves money and time...not to mention the propane glass are easy to break on moving around and no worries with these bad boys...i have dropped kicked threw and rolled in the lakes and still work strong and good...these are bright enough for me my cousin has the coleman battery opperated one and this one has a better batttery life then his but his is slight brighter but im very very happy and pleased with this bad boy...and the storeing of the cords is great just screw the bottom of and on when you need the cords....dont be affraid to buy one of these and try it out you will be amazed!!!! qoute i fish 3 nights a weeks some less or more
We have bought three of these lanterns over the last year, they aren't the brightest, and they aren't super rugged, but you cant beat the bang for the buck. We use these for camping on a very regular basis, they come with both an AC charger and a car charger, the charge lasts a good length of time and charges quickly. The kids have dropped them down hills off the sides of trucks and who knows what else they haven't told me about, but they keep working. However, the carrying handle did brake off of one of them. Comparing them to our Colman LED lantern, they are half as bright, half the weight, half as rugged but far less than half of the cost and they don't use up a zillion D cell batteries.
A: Used these on one camping trip....and just pulled them out a year later...guess what? batteries dead and can't replace..I am looking to see if mfg will do it..but looks like this is Walmart product....Great product if you could replace batteries..but you better put charge on it monthly or they will be obsolete....poor design...Went to "Batteries are us"...they said this battery is only made by mfg...
I bought my 1st one 4 yrs ago. Loved it so much, went back and bought another one. Easy to charge (electric & car lighter), lightweight, rugged (dropped a few times & squished it in a tote couple of times), gives off plenty of light when in the middle of pitch black forest.
Lasts overnight on a charge, comes with separate A/C and D/C chargers concealed in the base. Great for camping. We have had 2 for more than 2 years and they work fine. Charge them and forget them till needed. Super low price. We could never find more in stock so we bought 2 more online from Walmart.
The lantern is ok. You get what you pay for. It does light up the area but not as bright as a fuel or propane lantern does. I bought this and a Coleman duel fuel lantern. Hands down the Coleman is 20 times brighter! NO JOKE, BUT This lantern has its pros, such as you can have it in your tent and not take a chance on a fire. Cons. it has a blue tint to it but that's LED for ya. So if your going to use it in a tent for light yes. If your trying to light up the outside of your campground then stick with fuel or propane. Makes a good bed stand light (nightlight) too! Happy Camping!
i bought this about 18 months ago for camping because it was rechargeable. used it on 4 or 5 camping trips. the last one, a week ago, pulled it out and put on the charger. the light lasted about 2 hours then rapidly faded. as others have stated, no way to exchange battery as it is a chinese design. so will take back to walmart and get one with replaceable batteries.
Great for camping or when the power goes out at home. Gives off enough light to do what's needed in either situation. Storage compartment for charger and car adapter is very handy.
I like these so much that I bought one for my mother and one for my son. It lights up an entire room and is great for power outages. You can recharge it in your car or plug it into an outlet. Love this!!!
every review was correct. i was about to look for a charger to buy and read the reviews. all chargers are in the base of the unit. great lil lantern for the price
We purchased this replacement lantern for a couple of reasons. The biggest being, we didn't want to have to purchase a battery operated lantern and then extra parts. This lantern has everything you need. From the charger to the built in battery space. When we got it home, we took it out of the box and charged it for the time suggested. A week later we used on our trip and it worked every time.
We use it only for camping and it has been a good light source. Our last trip was a rainy one and this guy held up well and kept things bright. We plan to purchase a few more of these as extras for when other camping guests come along.
After I got this I charged it fully and proceeded to see how long it would last, well i know that it lasts 6 hrs plus because i went to bed n shut it off after 6 hrs of run time. Thats good enough for me.

Analysts are speculating that the delay may be a combination of foul weather and technical malfunctions. Others consider Pyongyang may be bending under intense international condemnation and the threat of impending UN sanctions...

Good Creativity Strategies!
I really like the creativity strategies in this app. They're provocative, useful, & varied.
I like to consult the app at the beginning of my day to focus my thinking. Sometimes I'll do a quick workshop.
In the afternoon, I find that a few minutes with the Whack Pack is more productive than a half an hour staring at my computer screen!
They just updated this app! I just assumed it was going to be in the state that it has been for years. Content has always been top notch. I prefer the app over the physical cards.

There are sometimes reviews that we just can't print through fear of legal action, but here are a selection with all the offending names removed!
your comments
The first time I ate here they took an extra £5 on top of the 12.5% service charge saying it was a tip for the waiting staff.
The most recent time I ate here (last Friday) the peperoni pizza gave me food poisoning and I spent the rest of the weekend being too ill to even leave the house.
The other times that I've eaten here have been ok but I won't be going back because of the above.

I'm a great admirer of Mediterranean cuisine so I decided to try this restaurant with not too much expectation in mind! Last time I had been to a so called Mediterranean restaurant was in Brazil and I was not left disappointed.
But what I found was a very bland sort of cooking, without a hint of Mediterranean spices at all. Besides the service was very intrusive to the point of a waiteress, a Manuel from Fawlty Towers sort of girl, having the audacity of sitting at our table! The menu was very uninspiring and with classics like spaguetti bolognese I knew I wasn't at a London hot spot. If the cooking was anything acceptable I would understand having such a basic dishes on the menu but unfortunately it wasn't.
To make matters worst, the owner of the place, a very rude lady with a very strange name, was clearly drunk when came to our table to apologize.
The whole experience was just dreadful and I just want to forget that horrible place.
Tuesday, October 23, 2007
My first impressions of XXX XXXXX were my utter horror at the owners, i was greeted first by a woman who would have to diet to be fat cow, and a chef that was so huge, fat, disgusting and greasy that I thought that a 3 ton puss-oozing tumer was in the kitchen.
After drinking 3 bottles of JD so i could bare the thought of eating there, I was served a dinner that can only be described as smelling like bacon fried in urine. It was so horrible that i nearly had massive liver failure at the smell that was before me, but luckly the owner was such a fatty-fatty-boom-boom that his own gravitational field sucked the dinner off my plate, and the change from my trousers.
so in conclusion, i will not be eating there again
Monday, October 22, 2007
Sorry but I had food poisoning in this restaurant!!!
About 30 min after finishing the dinner I hardly made it to the public toilet at Charring Cross and almost died there.
Then I spent two days in bed with bad stomach cramps and then another 2 days recovering before I could eat properly.
Well the decision is YOURS!
Monday, October 22, 2007
Went for the first time to XXXXXX on 19-10-2007 and it will be my last time ever. Here is why:
-Mediocre opera singer was shouting so loud you could not have a normal conversation with your partner
-I am convinced that my food was heated using the microwave, as some bits were extremely hot and others were cold. After I finished my meal I made a comment to the waiter about this. He WHISPERED in my ear that he was not accepting my complaint because I finished my meal! Would you believe that? How rude can you be? Not accepting a complaint from a customer? Anyway, stupid mistake, will never go out there again.
Monday, October 22, 2007
be aware, the place's usual tranquility gets usurped when pi***d up Mike Skinner wannabes dripping in fake gold and sometimes up to two mobile phones hanging form branded B.F.C. lanyards attired in lacoste, nike and addidas shimmer as they fall trough the door with their plastic bags full of Carling or Stella Artios or "wife beater" as it is locally known. Except in summer when checked shirts are substituted for sleeveless t-shirts to display their gallery of tattooed swallows and odes to dead relatives and a consensus of their offspring, should they forget to claim maintenance When this happens the ambiance is replaced by crackling mobile phones placed on the tables unclipped from the lanyards whilst blasting out some repetitive song. Not a place to go to an the staff don't really help you either food was to bland and tastless.

Simple Food
Simple Staff
Simply Pay
But for gods sake.... never **** the waiters off.
I've seen a group of Rugby Players close to tears as the staff came out
with meat cleavers to "explain" that you don't argue about the bill.
My 4 year old and 11 year old think it's wonderful.
Should be on the 100 things to do before you die.

This is a perfect example that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. On Saturday evening my Mother and I were on a quest to find a good Chines restaurant behind Leicester Square. After seeing XXXX XXXX we were impressed with the restaurants entrance and it looked clean. Little did we know!
The waiter wasn't attentive and when he took our orders he rushed us after we waited 20mins to be served drinks. The food was over priced for what we ordered. A quarter crispy duck, one small boiled rice, prawns with black bean sauce (came cold) one still water and an orange juice. We were never asked if we wanted drinks or deserts after and we had to beg for the £40.80 bill! Whilst we waited for our change were repulsed to see a giant cockroach crawling past our table. The staff never apologized for this and one asked for a tissue to pick up the insect with their hand next to unsuspecting clients eating their food. I have never seen anything quit like it. The following day the food we consumed made us both unwell. I would like for them to put more money into improving the kitchens hygiene rather than the water and fish display they use the lure people in their cockroach infested restaurant. DO NOT GO THERE!

used to good, cheap and filling years a go-my God, how its changed!
food was awful, place was filthy, staff werent much better and the pair of drug addicts who sat shaking opposite me just added to the atmosphere!!
i felt like i was in some sort of low-budget movie about heroin addicts!!
never ever EVER again will i step foot in that place
go there at your own risk & oh yeah, take your own cutlery & plate, its bound to be cleaner

Me and the better half popped into this hole last weekend for a quick bite to eat and a drink and I have to say it was the worst food I have ever eaten in my life (I am not exaggerating)...
After sitting down waiting to have our order taken for a good 15 minutes (it wasnt even busy) We ordered a selection of Tapas.
The garlic mushrooms were disgusting..
The chilli beef was basically some very cheap looking and tasting mince beef covered in oil with a bit of chilli that had no taste what so ever..
The cajun 'chicken' seemed like some low budget sandwich filler that had been blasted in a microwave.
The deep fried crispy squid rings looked more like onion rings that you would get from a low grade burger van, they were overcooked and cooked in oil that must have been older than Thora Hird.
The final nail in the coffin for me was the glass I was given that should have gone to the glass recycling centre over a year ago.
Dont eat here, you would be better off getting a Brian Turner sandwich from a garage (and god are those sandwiches bad).

text: Acquisition Includes Replidea TM and Alpharen TM, Both in Phase 3 Clinical Trials with Kidney Disease Patients MARKHAM, ON, Jan. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - Cytochroma today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement with OPKO Health, Inc. (NYSE: OPK) under which Cytochroma, a privately held pharmaceutical company with operations in Markham, ON and Bannockburn, IL, will be acquired by OPKO. Through this transaction, OPKO will acquire worldwide rights to Cytochroma's two lead product candidates: Replidea TM (coded CTAP101 Capsules), a vitamin D prohormone to treat secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in patients with stage 3 or 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) and vitamin D insufficiency; and, Alpharen TM (Fermagate Tablets), a non-absorbed phosphate binder to treat hyperphosphatemia in dialysis patients. Both products are in phase 3 development in the United States. Cytochroma's officers will join the OPKO management team, and all other Cytochroma employees will be retained by OPKO. Replidea™ has been shown in a phase 2b clinical trial to effectively and safely treat SHPT and the underlying vitamin D insufficiency in pre-dialysis patients. Vitamin D insufficiency arises in CKD due to the abnormal upregulation of CYP24, an enzyme which destroys vitamin D and its metabolites. Studies in CKD patients have demonstrated that currently available over-the-counter and prescription vitamin D products cannot reliably raise blood vitamin D prohormone levels or effectively treat SHPT. "OPKO intends to market Replidea™ along with OPKO's proprietary point-of-care vitamin D diagnostic test currently in development," stated Phillip Frost, MD, OPKO's CEO and Chairman. "We envision these remarkable products as part of the foundation for a new and markedly improved standard of care for chronic kidney disease patients." "We are pleased that OPKO and Cytochroma have joined forces to improve the care of kidney patients," commented Alan J. Lewis, PhD, Cytochroma's Chairman. "The combined companies are well positioned to become a major new global player in the chronic kidney disease space." Alpharen™ has been shown safe and effective in treating hyperphosphatemia (elevated serum phosphorus) in the phase 2 and 3 clinical trials undertaken to date in dialysis patients. Hyperphosphatemia exacerbates SHPT and promotes bone disease, soft tissue mineralization and progression of kidney disease. Approximately 90% of dialysis patients in the United States require regular treatment. Cytochroma acquired global rights to Alpharen TM from INEOS Healthcare in 2010. About Chronic Kidney Disease CKD is a condition characterized by a progressive decline in kidney function. The kidney is normally responsible for excreting waste and excess water from the body, and for regulating various hormones. CKD is classified in five different stages - mild (stage 1) to severe (stage 5) disease - as measured by the kidney's glomerular filtration rate. According to the National Kidney Foundation, CKD afflicts over 26 million people in the US, including more than eight million patients with moderate (stages 3 and 4) and severe (stage 5) forms of CKD. In stage 5 CKD, kidney function is minimal to absent and patients require regular dialysis or a kidney transplant for survival.

A Timeless Romance
A life of precise mediocrity is actually pretty difficult to maintain. I comb my hair just so. A clean look but not too clean. I've never touched cologne, and wear a tie to work but it's certainly not a goofy tie. No, I wear solid brown and blue ties. I iron my shirts, but not too well, just enough. All of it is a delicate balance and sometimes I have to make sacrifices.
I had a mustache once and it. was. incredible. I was riding high on my stache until someone commented how impressive it was and it all came crashing down. It was a too unique. It set me apart from the crowd, put me on that dang pedestal. I got rid of it the next day. I mean, deep down, I always knew I could pull off a wicked mustache and I never should've tried it in the first place.
After graduating from high school I decided to skip college. Higher learning was for for people with ambition, which I had long ago shunned. I got a job in data entry at a nameless firm. It's a cubicle farm, perfect for blending in. It has white walls and gray desks and there are casual fridays. There are water coolers and people congregate around them for idle chit chat. People call that greasing the wheels or something, I'm not sure the expression people use when they want to brown nose to get ahead because I don't practice the art. I'm polite but not overly so, and I certainly won't mention how much I like your tie with Snoopy on it. Though it is adorable.
I had thought my office was perfect. Perfectly mundane for a perfectly average guy like myself. The only problem was Catherine.
She was walking up to me that day, casually flipping through a stack of documents in her hands. Catherine is the kind of girl that shouldn't be working with average schmoes like me. She's the kind of girl that gets slow motion scenes in movies while she flippantly flips her hair and smiles. The kind of firey red head that can hold her own. She'll flip out on you for a sexist remark or casually flip you off after you make a jest at her expense. The kind of girl that does backflips when……….annnnnnd I'm losing my train of thought.
She's flippin' hot is what I'm getting at here.
Her hotness is what scares me. And not in the "Oh, man I'm nervous around super hot girls" kind of scared. No, this is the deadly kind of scared. The kind that ends with David Caruso making a quip over my charred corpse and putting on sunglasses to the background ambiance of someone screaming 'YEAAAAAAAAAH'
Maybe something about my name kind of sounding like luge and how if I had been sliding down ice I might not have burst into flames. I don't know. I'm terrible at puns.
Here we have me, the average guy working a dead-end job and then you have her. The smoking hot woman with not a care in the world. Sound familiar? How about being the premise for every E-word romantic story ever.
It's like it was doomed to happen. I had done my best to avoid contact because fate is a cruel mistress and I just couldn't let things evolve between us. But here she was, walking right towards me. I thought about ducking under my desk but we had already made eye contact. That might just look weird. No this conversation was happening, I would just have to do my best to keep things average.
"Hey, Mike, is it?" She said with a bright, pouty smile.
"Yep. Mike. That's my name, don't wear it out." I said loudly. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was too loud, I might've shouted that.
'No you fool!' My brain cried. 'Stop laying on the charm! This is serious.'
"Okay, right, so I tried to get the collator to work and it seems like it's broken. But then someone said you are the only one that can get it to work." She said.
"It can definitely be tricky." I said careful to get the tone of my voice more mundane. "But lucky for you, you have The Collator."
There was a long silence before she hesitantly continued. "I don-I don't know why-I mean, why are your hands are on your hips? I just told you the collator doesn't work for me. I can't use it."
"Oh, no, not that collator silly. Me. I'm The Collator, that's like my superhero name cause my superpower is to collate…but, I guess you're right. It's confusing. Maybe I should be The Collator Man or something." I said cautiously trying to restore the conversation to something between two coworkers. The heat of temptation was rising to atomic levels and the sexual tension could be cut with a knife. In under a minute I had reduced her to stuttering and telling me that despite her best efforts she couldn't "use" me. There was also the seductive way she mentioned my hands and hips and I knew I couldn't let things continue this way.
"So you are the man for the job?" She kind of smiled. Someone else might call it a grimace, but that person wasn't there. It was definitely a 'kind of' smile.
'Alight Mike, time to nip this in the bud.' My brain declared.
"Oh yeah, definitely. But speaking of jobs…err…speaking of work, rather." I corrected myself as I realized she would probably think I was going to make some off color remark about Steve Jobs and his untimely demise. That would've made her putty in my hands for sure, and you can't be too careful. "I…I don't think it would work between us."
She stared at me for a long moment. Processing the weight of the words.
"Look. I just came over to see if you would help me with this. You seemed normal…so, please don't make this weird."
I nodded gravely. "Just leave those papers with me. I'll get them collated and back to you."
Hesitantly she set the papers down on the desk. I just knew that she was trying to think of some reason to stay. To keep the conversation going, but I had to disappoint her. For both our sakes.
"Okay, bye, Mike." She said and walked away.
After she had walked away I leaned back into my chair with a sigh of relief. That was a close call. I knew I could never be with a girl like Catherine. I needed someone like me. Someone that strove for normalcy.
I needed a Plain Jayne.
But what happened between us right then. That would be a memory. A little brand burned lightly onto our souls. What might have been.
Some might say I cheated them by calling this section a "Timeless" romance, but it would be timeless to us. In both ways.
It never happened, and consumed no time, but for the two of us. I'm sure we would forever remember how close we got to something solid. Tangible.
That could've been the end of it. That should've been it. I would've given Catherine her collated reports and went back to my life and my monotony…
If not for the ninjas.

Property NSW has announced the appointment of McGrath Estate Agents as the exclusive sales agency for the next phase of the Millers Point terrace sales program in Sydney.
The appointment of McGrath followed a select tender issued to prequalified agencies on the NSW government's Real Estate Agents Panel and will see the agency market the sale of 175 dwellings.
Property NSW chief executive Brett Newman said the appointment of a single agency to undertake campaign marketing for a large number of properties for a similar target market is common market practice.
"A single agent delivers many benefits, including savings in advertising and marketing costs through an improved scale of activities, greater consistency when dealing with interested parties and the flexibility to alter the mix and timing of properties subject to market appetite," he said.
The appointment of McGrath comes as the terrace sales program begins to wind down, with 10 properties due to go to auction on 8 June and only a small number of vacant terrace properties remaining.
McGrath was appointed as the exclusive sales agent in January to market the sale of up to 50 government-owned terraces.
A total of 80 Millers Point properties have been sold to date, delivering more than $218 million for reinvestment into social housing.
