Socialwise (SCLW.OB) Division, BillMyParents®, Signs Deals with Several Major Action Sports Retailers
BillMyParents®, the online teen payment solutions division of Socialwise, Inc., announced today that they are partnering with three major action sports retailers for their Supervised Shopping™ program. BillMyParents has been selective in demographics when selecting partnerships as they are targeting sites where teens browse and shop online. The retail partners represent over $1 billion in annual sales from millions of online consumers and over 900 retail locations nationwide.
As part of the agreement, the retailers will promote BillMyParents to their existing consumer base which is expected to generate 20 million impressions per month for the BillMyParents branded shopping buttons. While full details have not been disclosed, further information, including the retailer sites, is expected to be released in July and early August. Currently being implemented, BillMyParnets will be launching on the retailers' websites from here forward. When browsing a partner retail site, teens will see a branded BillMyParents® payment button next to individual items, allowing them to initiate a purchase in seconds.
BillMyParents provides innovative and simple payment solutions for teens and their parents. When using the Supervised Shopping™ program, teens safely shop online on partner retail sites and click on the BillMyParents payment. Selections are sent right away by email to parents, who can easily manage and approve requests. The system ensures security of private financial data as teens and merchants never see parents' credit card information. Teens' spending accounts can be loaded with money in advance or on a regular basis, just like an allowance.
These strategic partnerships are the latest in a series of moves targeting action sports-specific teen participants and enthusiasts. In April of this year, Socialwise announced the signing of high-profile endorsement deals with action sports and entertainment stars Rob Dyrdek, Travis Pastrana and Ryan Sheckler.
Jim Collas, President and CEO of BillMyParents, commented, "The action sports market has a tremendous influence within teens' lifestyles and trends," Mr. Collas continued, "The credibility of the athletes we've signed and the retailers we're partnering with (well-known retailers teens use on a regular basis) signifies our commitment to bringing our payment solutions directly to where tweens and teens like to shop."
More information on the BillMyParents platform can be obtained at www.billmyparents.com.

Welcome to nature-track.com! My name is Terry Thomas. I'm a professional wildlife biologist, photographer, author and naturalist. I love everything about nature and I love to learn and teach about what I learn.
We are developing this site as a place where visitors become friends and we all share ideas, experiences, and even our favorite wild places. Our goal is to help us all find ways to get outside, to learn, to explore, and to educate. I hope you'll join me often as we explore the natural world together.
Mission Statement
People care for the things they know and love. My mission is to help people understand and appreciate the natural world and to inspire all of us to better care for it.
Nature is a place of stunning beauty, raw action, and awesome power. There is something for everyone if you just know where to look. That is what this website is all about: bringing the natural world to your fingertips through inspirational writing, photography, and education. We'll show you where to find what you are looking for, and hopefully we'll introduce you to places, animals, plants, and ideas that you will find interesting and exciting. One of our goals is to help you and your family get the most from every excursion, have fun, learn about the environment, and even become an expert naturalist if you so desire.
The Apaches believe that wisdom rests in wild places. To gain its wisdom, one must sit in that place. Another one of our goals is to help you get out and find those places. Nature-track.com is not about looking at nature, but rather, looking into nature and being tutored by what we see, applying and sharing the messages.
For those who find getting outside and close to wildness a bit intimidating, we hope to unravel some of the mystery through education. We'll help you replace fear with wonder as you discover an incredible new world, often as close as your own backyard.
As you navigate through the website, you will find useful ideas and products to help you relish any adventure outside. We will bring you ways to enjoy time spent outside with your family and teach your children to embrace nature through games and activities outside.
Finally, Nature-track.com is a place of sharing. We hope that visitors will share their ideas and thoughts about the out-of-doors, personal experiences, places to go, and ways to enjoy every aspect of being outside in a world where getting dirty is part of the fun!
If you find this site to be useful and entertaining, please share it with your friends.
There are many pages on this website and we try to add something new each week. Check back often to see new additions.

The cottonwood trees are all in full yellow and it doesn't look like a frost has gotten any of them. Willows and aspens are mostly at their peak as well, creating a sensory overload of yellow. It is worth the drive just to look at it. Better hurry as it won't last long.

"WOW. What a phenomenal piece you wrote. You are amazing." Jennifer Jackson
That is embarrassing but actually a fairly typical response to my nature essays. Since The Best of Nature is created from the very best of 16 years of these nature essays published weekly in the Idaho Falls Post Register (online readership 70,000), The Best of Nature is a fine read. It covers a wide variety of topics including humorous glimpses of nature, philosophy, natural history, and conservation. Readers praise the style, breadth of subject matter and my ability to communicate complex and emotional topics in a relaxed and understandable manner.
Everyone can find something to love in this book. From teenagers to octogenarians, from the coffee shop to the school room, these nature essays are widely read and enjoyed.
Some of the essays here are my personal favorites, others seemed to strike a chord with readers. Most have an important message or lesson that will resonate with you. They are written with a goal to simultaneously entertain and educate about the wonderful workings of nature. Some will make you laugh out loud and others will bring a tear to the eye and warm your heart.

When all the talk last week was about getting behind the Crusaders before the Super Rugby final in Sydney, I scoffed.
"Why?" I asked belligerently.
The general thread of the response was simply because they were the only New Zealand flag fliers left in the race.
I vehemently begged to differ.
For one thing, it's weird to support, for argument's sake, the Hurricanes, all season then suddenly be expected to switch lanes to the Crusaders.
Secondly, how much richer is the country's No1 sport with the Waratahs' 33-32 victory in the final?
In fact, I'd like to believe the incremental gains will flow all the way up to the international arena for the World Champion All Blacks.
The Four Nations Series, involving the All Blacks, Wallabies, Springboks and the Pumas, will come alive - not to mention the contention for the Bledisloe Cup between New Zealand and Australia.
Whether the Waratahs' ascendancy, on the foundation of their maiden title, will have any beneficial impact on the Wallabies will become evident during the campaign.
That scribes and pundits are already scrambling to pooh-pooh any such assertions are in themselves indicative of the heightened expectation in the impending international calendar.
The Crusaders certainly weren't consistent throughout the season to command an air of invincibility going into the final.
Conversely, the Michael Hooper-skippered hosts showed in the first 15-20 minutes what an in-your-face mentality can do to any opposition.
Adam Ashley-Cooper scored the tries but Kurtley Beale has earned a national portfolio Quade Cooper has failed to make his own, although the Tokoroa Terror needs a coach who is willing to give him the licence to thrive in broken play if he returns to the Wallabies.
Wycliffe Palu was as inspirational as Hooper in the pack despite carrying on with what appeared to be symptoms of concussion.
How good will it be to see the Folau factor in the green and gold?
From the All Blacks' perspective, Hawke's Bay Magpie Israel Dagg didn't do enough to displace Highlander Ben Smith at fullback.
Matt Todd has made the No7 Crusaders jersey his own but, more significantly, ABs captain Richie McCaw is simply not cutting it in that position.
In fact, he hasn't for a while.
While Steven Hansen's blooding of Aaron Cruden and Beauden Barrett as pivots is great foresight, the same cannot be said of Dan Carter.
Carter's injury is a blessing in disguise because his successors need exposure to become match savvy.
If the Rugby World Cup in September/October next year in England is the beacon on the horizon then Carter and McCaw shouldn't be booking tickets on that ship.
Kieran Read's lack of composure surfaced in the post-match remarks after the final. That's why minimalising McCaw's presence will see his successor grow in assuming the mantle of captaincy.
The Manchester United of Super Rugby in New Zealand, the Crusaders franchise is up there with the Blues in the north in employing an open-cheque policy.
Todd Blackadder and Co will snap up talent around the country and abroad in a heartbeat, just as Sir John Kirwan and Co do - if luring Benji Marshall from the NRL in a failed experiment is anything to go by.
The Crusaders' attempts to entice Julian Savea fell flat but who else is on their wish list?
Malakai Fekitoa? Ben Smith? Richard Buckman?
Sure, rugby should encourage free enterprise but it seems a laissez-faire stance isn't everything it's made out to be.
It's time for some intervention from the New Zealand Rugby Union (NZRU) to prevent a couple of franchises running away with the sport, as football clubs do in the EPL.
Salary caps have to be imposed to ensure franchises such as the Hurricanes and Highlanders don't become entities that make up the numbers.
Without doubt former AB-cum-commentator Andrew Mehrtens and ex-Crusader Daryl Gibson have had a hand in the Waratahs' maiden Super Rugby title. It's equally imperative the NZRU plays its part to ensure all Kiwi franchises can emulate that feat without monetary hurdles.
Just as Crusader's Fijian winger, Nemani Nadolo, walked away from bigots calling him an "unfit, chubby n*****" at a Christchurch bar, Mehrtens and Gibson must shun detractors who are capable of labelling them traitors or worse.

According to media reports, Prashant Kishor (PK), the strategist par excellence who, many believe helped Narendra Modi become Prime Minister in 2014 and Nitish Kumar Chief Minister of Bihar in 2015 and has now accepted the challenge to prove himself the next assembly election in UP, has advised Madam Sonia Gandhi and the next in command, Rahul Gandhi, to adopt "disruptive strategy" if they want to win 200 and odd Assembly seats. The alternative, according to PK, is only 20 seats. I do not know why he has coined this term by which he means projecting Priyanka Vadra as the chief ministerial candidate of the Congress. He suggested her name because neither the Congress Vice President not the party was ready to lower Rahul's status as a national leader. As far as public knowledge goes, Priyanka too is not ready.
There is no doubt that the stakes of the Congress are very high in UP. It is a question of do or die. It is now or never. The defeat in UP will seriously diminish the chances of snatching New Delhi from Narendra Modi in 2019 and the goal of making Rahul Gandhi Prime Minister of India may remain unfulfilled. The defeat of the Congress in UP assembly election will also seriously damage the career of India's first official professional poll-strategist. Naturally, PK is desperate.
Since neither Rahul Gandhi nor Priyanka Vadra is ready to listen to a desperate PK despite the stakes being so high, I have a suggestion for Madam Sonia Gandhi's consideration. I, an ordinary citizen of this country, am mustering courage to give a suggestion because Madam is famous for making sacrifices for the sake of the country, the Congress party (which was handed over to her) and her son. I am suggesting 'mother of all disruptive strategies' that would enable Congress to get clear, if not absolute, majority.
My humble suggestion is that Congress should project Madam Gandhi as the chief ministerial candidate. Please do not be shocked. I have absolutely no intention to demean the powerful president of the oldest political party of the largest democracy of the world.
If Madam is projected as the chief ministerial candidate, the entire Congress party throughout the country will be electrified. The political atmosphere in UP will be charged as never before. All Congress workers and all supporters of the Congress party will work hard to ensure her victory.
I again say that I have absolutely no intention of demeaning Madam. I very well remember that between 2004 and 2014, she was above even the Prime Minister of the largest democracy. I remember that in 2004 when the then President of India, Dr. Kalam, asked her to suggest a date convenient to her to be sworn in as the Prime Minister of India, she humbly declined and nominated Dr Manmohan Singh. She did so again in 2009, in the hope that the learned Doctor would hand over the reins of power in 2014 to Rahul Gandhi whom he (the learned Doctor) considered the most suitable Indian to be Prime Minister of India. The political analysts described her refusal to be Prime Minister as the height of political sacrifice by her. Unfortunately, the learned Doctor disappointed her.
Now again it is time to make supreme sacrifice for the sake of the country, the party and the children, especially the son who has sacrificed pleasure of family life for the sake of the country. In my humble opinion and in the opinion of many, Madam Gandhiis the bravest political leader in India. Only she is capable of making supreme sacrifice for the sake of the nation and children. After all, parents make all sorts of sacrifices for the career of their children. Her becoming the Chief ministerial candidate is definitely a great sacrifice but imagine the advantages. I can list a few:
· As I have said earlier, it will electrify the Congress workers throughout the country. The party workers and supporters will leave no stone un-turned to ensure her victory.
· This will make a world news. Throughout the world she will be cheered for making one more great sacrifice to save democracy.
· If she wins the election and becomes the Chief Minister of the most populous state of the country, which is bigger than several countries of the world, she will be the most powerful Chief Minister.
If my suggestion is accepted, I would like to make two more suggestions. Rahul Gandhi should be made Congress President so that Madam is free to devote her full time and energy to UP election. My other suggestion is that Priyanka Vadra, to be officially called Priyanka Gandhi Vadra (the magic is in the name 'Gandhi'), should be projected as the Deputy Chief Minister. I am suggesting Madam Vadra's name because she is a charming lady. Sonia Gandhi rarely smiles; Priyanka smiles most of the time. Her face as future deputy Chief Minister will add to the enthusiasm of party workers.
Imagine the scenario if the strategy succeeds.
· Madam Sonia Gandhi is Chief Minister of the most populous state of India and the potential Prime Minister of India.
· Rahul Gandhi is Congress President and the potential Prime Minister of India.
· Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is the Deputy Chief Minister of the most populous state of India.
· As Chief Minister of UP, she will be a greater threat to Narendra Modi than she is today. She will be far ahead of Arvind Kejriwal and Mamata Banerjee in making Modi's life difficult.
· After serving as Chief Minister of the largest state of the country for two years, she will become powerful enough to challenge Narendra Modi and BJP in 2019 general election. Her chances of leading the Congress to victory will definitely be much more than what one can imagine today. There is every possibility that she will lead her party to victory.
· If she wins the general election in 2019, she can either take over as Prime Minister or make her political successor Rahul Gandhi Prime Minister of India. Alternatively, she can keep the prime ministership for some time. During the period, Rahul Gandhi, as have Cabinet colleague would be trained and prepared for the ultimate goal.
According to Sharad Pawar, the shrewd politician, Rahul Gandhi has matured. I am sure, by 2019 he will be more mature.
Further, imagine the scenario in 2019.
· Madam Sonia or Rahul Gandhi is Prime Minister of India.
· Or, Rahul Gandhi is first Deputy Prime Minister and then Prime Minister of India.
· Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is Deputy Prime Minister of India.
· Narendra Modi is sent back to Gujarat.
· The witch hunting comes to an end. All cases against Robert Vadra are dropped. All enquiries into the so-called scams comes to an end. Everybody feels relieved. Time to make money returns. Forget 2G. Forget its powerful successors, 3G and 4G. Now, 4G is round the corner. Despite all the hype created by Modi about green energy, 'black gold' remains very attractive. There are many new opportunities. "Happy days are here again."
· India's image as a "Secular Socialist Republic" is restored. The people re-learn that the Hindu fundamentalists and the Gujarat government formed with their support were responsible for burning of train in Godhra, riots in Gujarat in 2002, explosion in Samjhauta Express, murder of an innocent girl called Ishrat Jahan, and so on.
· PK is awarded Bharat Ratna, the highest civilian award, for his historic contribution to democracy, socialism, secularism, and, above all, the Nehru-Gandhi family. (The only danger is that the Democrats and Republicans of America will start fighting to grab him and India may lose him.)
I appeal to Madam Sonia Gandhi, Shri Rahul Gandhi, Madam Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and all their well-wishers and well-wishers of the country and the party to consider my suggestion seriously. For the sake of democracy. For the sake of secularism. For the sake of the oldest party of the country. For the sake of the great family which has done so much for the country and can do much more.
Please remeber PK's warning: the alternative is only 20 seats.
Fate of the country is linked to the fate of the Congress and fate of the Congress is linked to the fate of the family.
The readers are requested to spread the message in larger public interest.

Enter: Gypsy-Poggle
Once upon a time (for my father would always start like this, however much I complained), Miriam-Poggle heard a knock at her little door.
"I must just go and see who that is," she said to herself. "I expect it's Gypsy come for tea - I think she said she was coming today?" She scurried down the hall, straightening her little green dress as she went.
Sure enough, as Miriam-Poggle opened the door she found Gypsy-Poggle standing there. In her hand she held a bunch of pods.
"Hello! Come in!" The two friends hugged each other and walked down the corridor towards the kitchen. Gypsy-Poggle had brought a special gift: a bunch of popsickles, which were a delicacy to Miriam-Poggle, because she lived so far from the bush.
(contrary to popular belief, these were not alcoholic. Nor were they available among humans; the name had been borrowed. These were a natural product, and extremely refreshing, too)
"Thank you so much," said Miriam-Poggle, as she took the pods. "You'll share with me?"
"Of course," replied Gypsy-Poggle, smiling prettily. They took two silver bowls from a cupboard. Unlike the young male poggles, who would drink directly from the pod, these two girls were well brought up, and preferred to drink in a ladylike manner.
Together they popped the juicy pods into the bowls and sipped the clear, cool liquid. A sweet taste, not unlike pear juice but as refreshing as water, spread across their tongues, and they smiled in delight.
"Nothing tastes better than a fresh Popsickle," said Miriam-Poggle, smiling.

Good cheap pizza in neighborhood. Not so many variety of Pizza they offered. They are just offering Large Pizza and for 5$ only one topping.
Great pizza. The crust is amazing. The staff has it going on and has a huge sense of urgency. And even though more than one topping is extra, it won't break your budget.
We once went there with our grandchildren and they named it the "Big Pig" and loved to go there Under new management the food has gone downhill. They no longer offer the muffins and cooked apples--a favorite of all. Service is okay, but will no longer go there as the food quality has left the kitchen!
It was almost 9pm and we spotted this pizza joint while leaving the St. Croix Rec Center after a hockey game. The sign on the window said they closed at 9pm but the gentleman running the register said no problem, was very pleasant, took our order and we had our pizza in no time. It tasted awesome and we really...
Pizza was tasty, but for 5 bucks, the pizzas are also rather small. Maybe get two if you're feeding a couple people. :)
Sure, it's not the best but it's quick and it tastes good. That's 5 stars in my book. $5 pizza is definitely worth it.
have had the pizza buffet for lunch - it's fresh, delish and the price is awesome! Love it.

Washington, Sept 9 (ANI): Yeast can be simple model to study molecular basis of Parkinson's disease, says a scientist.
Dr Tiago Fleming Outeiro from the Instituto de Medicina Molecular in Lisbon, Portugal says yeast could be a powerful ally in the discovery of new therapeutic drugs to treat Parkinson's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder without any known cure.
The symptoms, which include rigidity, difficulty in initiating movements and resting tremors, are all related to the specific death of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain.
These neurons characteristically contain protein deposits, known as Lewy bodies. A small protein called alpha-synclein is the main component of these deposits.
Outeiro explains how baker's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is helping researchers learn how alpha-synuclein might lead to Parkinson's disease.
"Yeast is a very simple but powerful model in which to study how alpha-synuclein actually works as, remarkably, many of the biochemical pathways involved are similar between yeast and humans," he said.
"There is still a lot we don't know about the function of this protein, but we do know that even small increases in the level of alpha-synuclein in cells lead to cell death," he added.
Dr Outeiro, along with colleagues in the USA, screened a library of 115,000 small compounds to try and identify those that are able to block the toxic effects of alpha-synuclein.
Several of these molecules have proved effective in preventing Parkinson's disease in worms and blocking alpha-synuclein toxicity in rat neurons. If developed further, they could form the basis of future drugs to treat Parkinson's disease in humans.
The work has been presented at the Society for General Microbiology's autumn meeting in Nottingham. (ANI)

According to a new study from the University of Texas and the University of California, Los Angeles, both men and women have regrets when it comes to sex, but the genders vary greatly when it comes to what they regret specifically.
Men's top three regrets mostly had to do with *not *having sex...
…whereas women seemed to feel the exact opposite.
As tends to get mentioned in practically every study on sexuality, researchers speculate that the higher consequences of casual sex for women are likely to have shaped our emotional reactions and regrets. Sigh. Ladies, here's how I think we should all feel about our regrets:
Do you have any regrets when it comes to sex?
Not coincidentally: More Regrets Revolve Around Romance Than Any Other Issue, Study Says

I have a job interview next Friday at another municipality. I am pretty good at interviews and my experience probably will put me in a favourable position in landing the job. But I'm conflicted about whether, if offered, I would even accept the job.
I really like the job I'm in right now, and I love my boss... best boss I've ever had. The co-workers are great. But the corporate culture here is changing and becoming more bureaucratic and rigid. Lots of new policies from HR governing employees, which are really starting to cause morale problems. Also, the community is the most expensive community in the area to live, but it is not interested in keeping up with the salaries of other cities in the area (or even with the inflation rate some years). So I applied for another job with about the same duties as I have now, supervising the same number of people that I do now, but the salary STARTS where my current salary grid ENDS. In a matter of a few years I can be bringing in $20,000 more than I do now. That's a big difference in my household.
I was wondering if in the public sector anyone has been offered another job and has used it as a point of negotiation for a higher salary in their current job. Also, what can you negotiate when going into a new job other than salary (since my current vacation rate is better than what would be a the new job)? Although I'm an excellent negotiator when it comes to development and planning, I totally suck when it comes to negotiating salaries or trying to put a value on my abilities.
Other background info: the commute will be longer (about 35 - 45 minutes each way) and I will not be able to carpool with BME as much. There also may be more night meetings than I have now (which is almost next to none).
Advice and accounts of your own experiences are greatly appreciated.

oh goody ! Please do !
This is a discussion on Heritage big bore pistols within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; The other day while I was in the gun store I found some SAA clones made by Heritage, which were being sold for like $240, ...
The other day while I was in the gun store I found some SAA clones made by Heritage, which were being sold for like $240, new in .357 and .45LC. I'm a sucker for single action pistols anyways, and decided I could part with that much to experiment, so I got one in the .357 flavor, with the 4.75" barrel and blued.
One thing that is weird is the gun says made in USA, and their website says the same thing, but the rollmark on the barrel has Made in Italy (by the same people who made my Traditions 1851 Navy which has been rock solid, part of what convinced me to try this one). I checked the new once they brought out from the back before buying, the cylinder was solid when locked and the chambers looked to line up well. The trigger is pretty smooth and light, as it should be on a SAA. Fit and finish aren't bad, but aren't great, about what one would expect for a pistol of that price. Not as nice as my Uberti with case coloring, but a nice blue on the entire pistol.
I'm going to be spending a long day at the range tommorow, so I'll test out this along with the rest of my new stuff. Anyone have one of these, or shot one before? It seems decent enough for the price point (MSRP according to the site is $400). I'll let y'all know how it shoots tommorow.

U.S. Navy vet 1981-1992
Well, artz, since you care, here ya go.
Just got back from the range, had a good time, have a whole lot of firearms cleaning to do. Anyway, as far as the big bore .357 goes, it functions fine and shoots pretty much where you aim at 25 yards. It's not going to give you Olympic competition groups, but you could keep them all within someones chest without too much work on your part at 25 yards. It handled the .357 rounds with ease, put about 50 of em along with 50 .38 through it. Recoil was very manageable, probably due to the overall weight of the weapon. No problem with ejecting spent shells, most of them just fell out without having to use the ejector.
Overall I think for under $250 its a pretty decent, fun to shoot pistol, although only time can tell how it stands up to massive quantities of .357 rounds through it, so far I don't see a problem.

Most single action parts (most, but not all) are made in Italy by Uberti. It is probable that the pistol is assembled in the USA from Italian parts.

Frau R. Kurt Raab ... Herr R. Lilo Pempeit ... Kollegin im Büro Franz Maron ... Chef Harry Baer ... Kollege im Büro Peter Moland ... Kollege im Büro Hanna Schygulla ... Schulfreundin Ingrid Caven ... Nachbarin Irm Hermann ... Nachbarin Doris Mattes ... Nachbarin Hannes Gromball ... Nachbar Vinzenz Sterr ... Opa Raab (as Herr Sterr) Maria Sterr ... Oma Raab (as Frau Sterr) Peer Raben ... Schulfreund Eva Pampuch ... Schallplattenverkäuferin Description: Wild and winsome yet tragic tale of a man who falls apart before our very eyes. Whats so exciting about this film is not the plot or the climax, which is given away in the title, but the sheer breathless spontaneity of the unfolding drama/trauma, presented in breezy interchanges between characters and told in an intimate verite style that looks disarmingly nontheatrical. We are like a fly on the wall making a documentary about a loser's last days. It is thus alternately exciting, maddening, sad and boring, just as those moments in his life actually would be. The only thing about the film that didn't really click was Herr R.'s final act(s) of violence. They seem at first glance sort of unsolicited, melodramatic, over-reactive, out of context. But then, the whole point of "running amok," as the Eskimos tell it, is that after six months of indoor living with no sunlight, the mere tedium and monotony of cohabitation becomes too much to bear. Thus, it isn't trauma after trauma, or some big nasty blowout that causes the final snap; it's the soul-crushing redundancy of the countless minuscule agitations and frustrations that causes, perhaps at no particular or predictable moment, the final psychological break for the poor damned fool. Fassbinder loves greasy, pudgy, gluttonous, hard-drinking losers, probably because he saw himself as one, but alcohol as the vehicle of mental deterioration, and sometimes the means of actual death, seems to feature prominently in many Fassfilms.

Rooms and bathrooms are small. Breakfast was served at specific times, for example at 8:30, 9:30. If you came earlier, you had to wait even 20 minutes. This arrangement is rather unusual and stressful to the guests esp. with small children .
The only good thing was the low price. In need of renovation, lots of debris in the hotel area, the beads were awful. The breakfast was poor, no coffee or juice. Only a few things to choose from. The staff spoke no english and hardly any german. The lady at the reception desk had to search for 15 minutes before she could find our booking. We had to pay before we could see the room, had no choice since it was almost 10 pm.
Friendly staff. Clean room. Locked car park. Poor breakfast with no yoghurt and limited offering of bread.
Nice qiute hotel We booked a single room with extra bed in a room for disabled. However the extra bed was not ready when we arrived.
Rooms v nice Paying to leave luggage after had checked out.
New building, everything in good working condition, very clean. Friendly and very responsive staff. The queen size bed was built of two standard size beds not connected together. They would constantly move apart creating space in the middle.
Friendly staff, good service, nice breakfast (until 10 am only), kid-friendly
The location was excellent, especially for trips by train from Dworyec PKP. The staff was friendly and helpful. I should like to come again, but for longer than the 10 days this year. Sometimes, people talking loudly in the street outside the hotel at late hour (2300-2400).
Food and sauna
Quiet location. Clearly overpriced.
Very kind personell (German speaking, in fmr German town) Partly climatized Nicely designed rooms No climatization in rooms during brutal heat wave Too small rooms Too short blanket Winter blanket in summer
secured parking view towards a terrible backyard
Clean, tidy, excellent breakfast, sauna, close to promenade, free wifi.
large room just a tourist hotel and quiet deserted place during winter
Excellent and large room. Owners eager to help in Polish (only). Modern building where everything worked despite heavy snow outside. Powerful smell of disinfectant. Cleaning of hallway with banging buckets in the middle of the night. Location between town and beach inconvenient for restaurants.

But nowadyas there is a tiny lump at the same point with pain. When i squeezed it somehow isome blood came and then the lump gone flat in shape. But now it has been a month there is no blood but it pains and gives a burning feeling when i water it to washoff after my stool. When i come out and touch it i get a feeling that the tiny lump is still there. The area is dry and sometimes it pricks or when i touch it. There is no increase in size or blood but it just pains and burns on touching and putting a jet of water. Please help!

Hi..., Add fiber to your diet. Eating about 25 to 30 grams of fiber a day can help keep stools soft and improve healing. Fiber-rich foods include fruits, vegetables, nuts and whole grains. You also can take a fiber supplement. Adding fiber may cause gas and bloating, so increase your intake gradually. Drink adequate fluids. Fluids help prevent constipation. Exercise regularly. Engage in 30 minutes or more of moderate physical activity, such as walking, most days of the week. Exercise promotes regular bowel movements and increases blood flow to all parts of your body, which may promote healing.... Avoid straining during bowel movements. Straining creates pressure, which can open a healing tear or cause a new tear....Consult Surgeon..

There was a Knock at the Door
Kelly span around, out of breath, and leant against the door, trying to catch some composure as her computer chair still circled on the other side of the room.
She took a number of deep breaths, attempting to force herself to realise that no matter how chilling, and outright terrifying, those photos were, they were taken miles away. She was in her own home now. This wasn't the open clearing at the lakeside. Her house wasn't an exposed tent.
But her heart still beat vigorously.
Suddenly there were two vibrations that were coming from her back, not her chest, and the sound of the double thump was deafening.
That was not her heart.
Kelly screamed and fell forward without fear of the floor, landing awkwardly on her wrists and knees, and scrambled a few feet away before turning and sitting on the laminate flooring.
There were tears running down her face now.
She found herself caught in between whether to ask, 'hello?', whether to run, hide, call the cops, something other than answer the door. It was a ridiculous thought that the photographer had managed to find her home.
Had he followed her? She had left the campsite early though. It was deathly quiet when she had done so too. There at least were no other cars around. Definitely. And that forest road had been clear and quiet for the entirety of its good five miles or so before it joined up with the main road.
There had hardly been a bird in the sky.
As she retraced her memories of leaving the campsite, and struggled with the options of what to do next, three more knocks landed on her front door.
There was no window through the door, or on either side, and so whoever it was couldn't see her. Unlike in the woods. That, for a moment was comforting, until the realisation that she had now convinced herself that it was the photographer on the other side.
Her breathing was short and sharp, but she pulled herself to her feet.
On a small table next to the door was her phone. Next to the door. She wanted to call someone, she didn't know who, but that's all that she was thinking about now. Getting to that phone and dialling a number.
Carefully she took small and deliberate steps closer to the door. She was sweating. When she got about two feet away, she tried to stretch across to the receiver, rather than move closer. But she hadn't heard anything from her visitor in what had seemed like an age. In reality it had only been a matter of seconds.
She made a last exaggerated lunge for the phone, and grabbed it from its stand. She jumped two steps back in one go, raised it to her right ear, and…
A flash of light, and the stereotypical sound of a camera flash.

Berkeley Free Clinic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Berkeley Free Clinic is a nonprofit community clinic located in Berkeley, California, USA. It is operated as a worker-run collective by over a hundred volunteers. It has provided free medical and dental care since 1969. They also offer peer counseling services. In 2009, they faced severe budget cuts due to the fiscal crisis in the state of California.[1]
The Berkeley Free Clinic was founded in 1969, during the People's Park era in Berkeley.[2] Two of the founders were local booksellers Moe Moskowitz and Fred Cody, of Moe's Books and Cody's Books.[3]

Camp Nou...home of Barca!!!

Went to a mall that used to be a bull fighting ring...huge place... Needed lunch and rest my foot and Bills knees. Five levels with terrace roof with restaurants. Great views. Barcelona outlawed bull fighting so went about converting their arena to malls and sports areas. Our tour of the ...
Day 3 in Barcelona
... saw all of the tiny little cars crammed into their tiny little parking spaces, and then this enormous van sticking well out of the parking spot. We had to pull it out, throw everything in the back (plenty of room for luggage though!), have everyone jump into the car, then execute an 18 point turn to get out of the parking area.
Finding our way to the hotel was a bit challenging in the dark. My phone service hasn't been super speedy, so ...
Day 3 - Barcelona
... bounded to the west by the Serra de Collserola mountain range, the tallest peak of which is 1,680 ft high. Apparently their football team is not too bad either. No match for Watford FC of course! _______________________________________ _______________________________________ ______ Woke at 07:20 with tea delivered by 07:35 - excellent! We arrived in Barcelona port at 08:00 as planned. ...
A taste of Barcelona
... the square, sitting uneasily with the surrounding buildings - but perhaps that is the point, to provide a jolt, to make us stop and reassess. There were a few skateboarders outside which reminded me of the Southbank in London, which was perhaps seen as similarly brutal when it was first built. Like the cathedral MACBA is airy, with galleries along one side instead of chapels - with the faithful, just as earnest looking at the displays.
Day 14 - Barcelona to Barcelona
... gush of wind, blown down the avenue like a tumbleweed doing 50, waiter doing 50. Another waiter appeared, swiped my card, mumbled something and disappeared. Now we're confused, the language barrier has hit an all-time high. We waited another 15 minutes just to make sure that a third waiter did not maybe feel the need to swipe my card another time, then got up and walked away.
Got back on the Metro to another part of town where we walked through ...

The comment by the Solicitor- General, Sir Derek Spencer QC, was made during the prosecution summary in the trial of an engineer accused of spying for Russian intelligence. Sir Derek said there were secrets 'that you don't even give to your friends'.
He described the political situation in the former Soviet Union as 'unstable and confused' and said the after-effects of the coup which dislodged Mikhail Gorbachev as Soviet leader were 'still uncertain'.
The Solicitor-General is leading the Crown's case against Michael Smith, 45, from Kingston, south- west London, who is accused of handing over material 'to an enemy of the state' between 1990 and his arrest in August last year.
Mr Smith worked at GEC's Hirst Research Centre (HRC) in north London from 1985 until last year. It is claimed that he is a former Communist Party member who lied about his party affiliation to gain security clearance when he worked for EMI on weapons projects during the late 1970s.
Sir Derek reminded the jury that during the opening days of the trial he had warned of political uncertainty in Russia. 'The words were hardly off my lips when we saw another crank of the wheel of revolution,' he said.
Although relations with Russia had improved since the days of the Cold War, he questioned whether documents such as information on Britain's ground-to-air Rapier missile system should be handed to the Russia 'we have seen in turmoil'.
Mr Smith's defence has centred on his claim that he handed over only 'obsolete' documents to a man he knew as Harry Williams. He claims not to have spied for the KGB, but to have been involved in commercial espionage.
Sir Derek maintained that Mr Smith knew the importance of documents from HRC found in his possession, and was paid pounds 20,000 for other material specifically requested during his time of allegedly working for the KGB.
The trial continues today.

Thank you so very much, we had a wonderful time. The cottage was so well equipped, right down to the tooth brush. The next time we come to Flathead we will certainly make reservations with you. Thank you again.
Oh my gosh, we had such a great time. Sheri was so great to work with and the accommodations were comfortable and the view was breathtaking. We will definitely come back!!!
My wife and I stayed at The Cottage on Flathead Lake this August 10th -12th. Sheri and Don Anderson greeted us and made us feel at "home" away from home. They were courteous and helpful and gave advice about stores and places to eat nearby. Their cottage was extra clean and neatly tucked away on the lake for a secluded retreat from the big city. We spent two weeks touring 4 National Parks and this was our most favorite place to stay. We definitely recommend the Cottage for anyone who enjoys some quiet time on the water and occasional views of Bald Eagles and crystal clear water. Larry Brisendine
We spent 5 nights in this beautiful place. There were plenty of activities to keep us busy but we especially enjoyed the quiet solitude with a good book.
The owners were friendly and accommodating! I really enjoyed just talking with them and they helped me find fun things to do while in the area. Being next door they seemed to be mindful to allow privacy but were available if needed! I will be back again some day!
We had an absolutely wonderful stay! Don and Sheri we're wonderful and accommodating. The cabin was small but perfect for a lake get away! What a small piece of paradise. It was quiet and relaxing and we never wanted to leave! We also enjoyed fun located near our stay. We went on a zip line tour and golfed. Lots of things to do! High recommendation from us!
We had a great time during our stay at Dun Wandering cabin. We enjoyed soaking up the sun and taking in the beautiful views on our private dock. Sheri and Don were excellent hosts, accommodating all of our needs while there. The cottage was exactly as we expected: small but well maintained, clean, and equipped with everything we needed. I would certainly recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet getaway on scenic Flathead Lake.

Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Recipes
With as many as one in three people avoiding gluten, it's more than likely that one of them will end up at your Thanksgiving table. Luckily, this special diet is relatively easy to accommodate. Lots of classic turkey day dishes are naturally gluten-free, while many more are easily made to fill the bill with just a few simple modifications that remove the gluten without sacrificing character or flavor — now, that's something everyone can be thankful for!
Gluten-Free Green Bean-Mushroom Casserole
This classic Thanksgiving casserole is usually a no-no for gluten-free diets, thanks to the flour and french-fried onions it contains — but our homemade version is completely wheat-free (and completely delicious, too!).

Chapter 8Language and Thought
The Cognitive Revolution
Language: Turning Thoughts into Words
The Hierarchical Structure of Language
Figure 8.1
An analysis of a simple English sentence. As this example shows, verbal language has a hierarchical structure. At the base of the hierarchy are the phonemes, which are units of vocal sound that do not, in themselves, have meaning. The smallest units of meaning in a language are morphemes, which include not only root words but such meaning-carrying units as the past tense suffix ed and the plural s. Complex rules of syntax govern how the words constructed from morphemes may be combined into phrases, and phrases into meaningful statements, or sentences.
Language Development: Milestones
Language Development: Milestones Continued
Figure 8.2
The vocabulary spurt. Children typically acquire their first 10–15 words very slowly, but they soon go through a vocabulary spurt—a period during which they rapidly acquire many new words. The vocabulary spurt usually begins at around 18–24 months, but children vary, as these graphs of three toddlers' vocabulary growth show. (Adapted from Goldfield & Reznick, 1990)
Bilingualism: Learning More Than One Language
Can Animals Develop Language?
Theories of Language Acquisition
Figure 8.5
Interactionist theories of language acquisition. The interactionist view is that nature and nurture are both important to language acquisition. Maturation is thought to drive language development directly and to influence it indirectly by fostering cognitive development. Meanwhile, verbal exchanges between parents and others are also thought to play a critical role in molding language skills. The complex interrelations depicted here shed some light on why there is room for extensive debate about the crucial factors in language acquisition.
Problem Solving: Types of Problems
Figure 8.6
Six standard problems used in studies of problem solving. Try solving the problems and identifying which class each belongs to before reading further. The problems can be classified as follows. The analogy problems and series completion problems are problems of inducing structure. The solutions for the analogy problems are Buy and Patient. The solutions for the series completion problems are 4 and E.
(continued) The string problem and the anagram problems are problems of arrangement. To solve the string problem, attach the screwdriver to one string and set it swinging as a pendulum. Hold the other string and catch the swinging screwdriver. Then you need only untie the screwdriver and tie the strings together. The solutions for the anagram problems are WATER and JOKER. The hobbits and orcs problem and the water jar problem are problems of transformation. The solutions for these problems are outlined in Figures 8.7 and 8.8.
Figure 8.7
Solution to the hobbits and orcs problem. This problem is difficult because it is necessary to temporarily work "away" from the goal, which frustrates a straightforward approach.
Figure 8.8
The method for solving the water jar problem. The formula is B – A – 2C.
Effective Problem Solving
Figure 8.10
The nine-dot problem. Without lifting your pencil from the paper, draw no more than four lines that will cross through all nine dots. For possible solutions, see Figure 8.14.
Figure 8.11
The matchstick problem. Move two matches to form four equal squares. For possible solutions, see Figure 8.15.
Figure 8.14
Two solutions to the nine-dot problem. The key to solving the problem is to recognize that nothing in the problem statement forbids going outside the imaginary boundary surrounding the dots.
Approaches to Problem Solving
Figure 8.16
Representing the bird and train problem. The typical inclination is to envision this problem spatially, as shown here. However, this representation makes the problem much more difficult than it really is.
Culture, Cognitive Style, and Problem Solving
Decision Making: Evaluating Alternatives and Making Choices
Heuristics in Judging Probabilities
Understanding Pitfalls in Reasoning About Decisions
Figure 8.21
Confirmation bias and belief perseverance. Confirmation bias is a two-pronged process in which people react favorably to information that supports their beliefs and unfavorably to information that is inconsistent with their beliefs. The latter process leads to belief perseverance—the tendency to cling to beliefs in spite of exposure to contradictory evidence.
