|7 nights
Enjoy this beautiful 1990 constructed post and beam home nestled in the woods on a private five acre retreat. This home has cathedral ceilings, hardwood floors throughout, an open floor plan with lots of windows. The first floor bedroom has a queen-size bed and views through the woods to the water. There is a half-bath on the first floor. Walk upstairs to a private, spacious loft with two twin beds and a full bathroom. Watch the change of the water on this tidal cove (11 ft tidal change). Swim at high tide off granite ledges and enjoy low tide walks along the shoreline. Your stay includes all bed linens and bath towels.
Acadia National Park is a treasure to explore. The Schoodic Peninsula area of Acadia is more remote, less traveled, yet equally as spectacular as the Mount Desert Island area. This rental house is a 30 minute drive from each of these Acadia National Park locations.
We had a Great stay at the house. It was nice to come here at night and just relax to peaceful environment. And we enjoyed seeing three deer on the side of the house one morning and we also seen a fox in the yard too. Cathy and Rick are great to communicate with through emails and the regular mail, and also once you arrive there's a binder with all the details to have a safe and wonderful vacation at their house. We had such a great experience with getting engaged at Jordan Pond in Acadia National Park and coming home to your great house to relax after long days of exploring Maine. Thank you Cathy and Rick for providing a great clean house.
Staying at the Great Ledge house brought home the idea that where one stays is deeply part of the vacation experience. Thank you, Cathy and Rick for making your home available and for showing the pictorial history of the house building. We purposely planned time at the house just to be there and watch the tidal cove over the course of a day. We also had a full moon developing during our stay and had moonlight in our bedroom, which was lovely.
The area of Schoodic Bay is beautiful, especially Acadia where we hiked and rode bikes. We also visited Thuya Gardens which was relaxing and beautiful. We went to Bar Harbor but for us it was simply too busy for us.
We hope to come back.
Thank you

We very much enjoyed our week in Lamoine and only wish that it could have been longer as we did not get enough time just relaxing at the house. The house is just a pictured and is nice and clean and well appointed. The kids (5 and 8) loved the loft and there is a nice gate at the top of the stairs. My only complaint would be the light and dark...a little too light in the early mornings without any shades in the house (and a 5 year old waking me by 6:00 a.m. each morning!) and a little dark at in the evening, especially over the table. The favorite spot was sitting on the deck at cocktail time playing games (4 chairs would be great, we did bring a couple of folding chairs after seeing the photos). The tidal inlet is just beautiful and so peaceful and quiet. I was concerned that is was too close to the house and that there was such an extreme low and high tide, neither of these things were an issue. There is a good separation with the wooded area which I was comfortable with my kids exploring on their own and there is not an extreme drop off at the shore line, but rock shelves creating a gradual entry in most places. We brought kayaks and enjoyed paddling out front and swimming.
The location was good. Ellsworth is an easy 8-10 minute drive so it was quick to pick up groceries or hit another store. The drive, while easy, to Bar Harbor and Acadia was just a bit longer than I was expecting. We spent quite a bit of time exploring the park and they were long days as once we were out, we were out. We also explored Winter Harbor and the Scoodic Peninsula which I highly recommend, it was just beautiful and hardly any people there. The kids had one of their best afternoons exploring the rocks there.
All in all a really wonderful vacation and spot to call home during the week. I highly recommend it!
We have just spent a week in Lamoine and the whole family really enjoyed the trip. The house is very comfortable, clean and has lovely views down to the inlet. Watching the tide come and go, reading on the deck, relaxing in the hammock, eating muscles gathered from the inlet were just some of the things we enjoyed. The absence of Wifi and TV meant we truly relaxed and played a lot of board games. The house is perfect for 4 people, we had plenty of space.
We took our own canoe and went out everyday in it. The kids swam in the inlet but wore wetsuits as it's pretty cold! We would love to return!
Spent spring break here and had a great time! Perfect for a family of four. We brought kayaks and went kayaking in the tidal cove. There is zero water at low tide so the kids ages 6 & 9 loved squishing around in the mud and digging for shells/clams etc. It is amazing to see how deep the water is at high tide! Spent most of our time in Acadia--be sure to see Diver Ed if you have kids. The house itself is our ideal house. Clean and comfortable, has everything you need including a wood burning stove. It is simple and perfect...kids loved the loft. Thanks!
We had a wonderful time. It was a wonderful, secluded, relaxing place. No internet? No problem! Great place to read, sit outside, lay in the hammock, watch the tide go in and out, etc. (You do have quite a tide!)
The only problem was that the weather was too good. I love using wood stoves on a cool evening. The stove was there. The wood was there. But the weather was too warm to justify using it. Only one night cooled enough to put on the stove and then I had to open the windows a bit because the wood stove worked so well. Next time we come I want few cooler nights!
The cottage was great, well furnished, lots of windows facing the inlet, large deck, nice loft area. Cathy and Rick promptly answered all questions and everything was completely in order with regards to the cottage and grounds.
Getting to Bar Harbor, Acadia NP, and Ellsworth was easy. We did the typical (and beautiful) hike around Jordan Pond in Acadia NP and also climbed Mt. Dorr - beautiful scenery but a bit of a challenge. We did the required stop in Bar Harbor, even though we don't spend much time in tourist towns / shops. However, we actually spent more time heading east to the Schoodic peninsula and surrounding area. We really enjoyed the part of Acadia NP that is on the south end of Schoodic peninsula. We did not know that it was there until we read about it in the travel book in the cottage. There was also a very good restaurant called the Fisherman's Inn in Winter Harbor (on Schoodic peninsula). We also liked the Ironbound Restaurant in Hancock.
As for recommending this cottage, we highly recommend it to people who like hiking, nature, reading, relaxing, and similar. Those who want night life, shopping, social activities, or similar should probably head to places further SW down the ME coast. Personally, we hope to visit again as this was our third time in ME and our most enjoyable trip of the three.
The home is located in Lamoine which is approximately twenty miles from Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, and six miles from the restaurants and shops of Ellsworth.

While Seattle is home to several airports, the only one that handles commercial flights is the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Also known as Sea-Tac, this airport is responsible for all incoming flights, along with flights from Seattle. Alaska Airlines, Air Canada, Delta Air Lines, Southwest Airlines, and US Airways are a few airlines that operate out of this airport. Located in SeaTac, Washington, the airport sits along the intersection of three state routes: 99, 518, and 509. Though the airport has three terminals, only the Concourse Terminal and North Satellite Terminal handle domestic flights. The South Satellite Terminal specializes in international flights. It's just a short drive from the airport to downtown.
When you need to reach your hotel quickly, head for the public transportation system, which consists of Sound Transit and Metro Transit. The buses and light rails only cost a few dollars, and you can visit the sales counter at any station to purchase tickets for your trip. The light rail system drops passengers directly at some of the top hotels in the downtown area. Seattle uses a grid system for its roads, which makes finding your hotel easy if you drive. You can use the Orbitz.com sign to look for rental cars from the airport.
If you visit during the spring, winter, or fall, you need a warm coat and an umbrella. Though the city does not get snow, it does get a high amount of rain during these seasons, and temperatures that can drop below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. The summer is much warmer, with temperatures in the high 70s and less rainfall.
Seattle is home to dozens of cultural activities and attractions, including the Seattle International Film Festival, the Henry Art Galley, the Woodland Park Zoo, and the Seattle Underground Tour, which takes you through older parts of the city. When you look for flights from Seattle on Orbitz.com, take a few minutes to look for other low-cost attractions in the city.
Travel to the northernmost state has never been easier than with cheap flights to Bethel, Alaska, booked on Orbitz.com. Located just three miles southwest of Bethel, the airport handles domestic flights from Anchorage and other Alaskan cities. Airlines flying out of Bethel Airport include Alaska Airlines, Yute Air, Era Alaska, and Grant Aviation.
A taxi is one of the best ways to get from Bethel Airport into town because Bethel has the largest concentration of cabs in the nation. Unlike in most areas, cabs are typically shared, so if you are a lone passenger, expect the driver to make stops to pick up others along the way. You can also opt to rent a car from one of the car rental agencies in town or at the airport, such as Bethel Car Rental. However, many of the roads in Bethel are unpaved, so many people choose not to drive.
Because of its northerly location, Bethel tends to be cool or cold year round. Summer temperatures in Bethel, Alaska tend to reach the 60s during the day and drop into the 40s at night. Winter temperatures reach highs in the teens and drop to 5°F or lower at night.
Many visitors go to Bethel in January for the Kuskokwim 300, a popular dog sled race. Fishing, skiing, biking, and snowshoeing are other popular activities for visitors interested in the outdoors. Whether you are searching for cheap flights to Bethel or entire vacation packages, check Orbitz.com first to find great deals and specials.
Fare, taxes & fees: Fares include all taxes and fees, except baggage fees. Rates shown reflect fares found by other Orbitz users over the past 7 days. Due to rapidly changing airline prices & seat availability, these fares may no longer be available.
Refunds/changes/cancellations: Itinerary changes, if permitted for the fare, will have a $30 service fee charged by Orbitz. Additional airline charges may apply.
Other conditions: Schedules, fares and rules are subject to change without notice. Seats are limited and may not be available on all flights/dates or in all markets. Lower fares may be available. Fares will not be honored retroactively or in exchange for any wholly/partially unused ticket. Tickets are non-transferable and non-refundable. Fare rules are provided for the selected itinerary before booking.

News has spread around quickly about EXO's Tao promising a fan that he won't be leaving the group.
A fan, who was worried about the rumors of Tao leaving EXO being true, wrote on Instagram to Tao asking him to keep his promise of never leaving the group.
In a surprise turn of events, Tao responded personally, "Yes I won't just believe in me."
To have Tao, himself, kill the rumors spread maliciously by Chinese media has inspired confidence in EXO-L all around and debunked all of the news reports spread by sites like iQiyi and Sina.
Here are what both EXO-L and netizens are saying about Tao's comment, translated by NetizenBuzz:

I'm don't think you can compare the two, a HashMap is a completely different beast from a JCR. A HashMap imposes no restrictions on the data that can be stored inside it for one thing. What would you do with a mandatory property for example? Will you allow it to contain a null value? I think not because I would expect a mandatory property to hold a "real" value. But if it can't contain null isn't it in fact exactly the same as not having the property at all? By definition you'd have to extend this idea to non-mandatory properties as well because if we think the current situation (where setValue(null) is the same as a remove()) is confusing think about a system where mandatory and non-mandatory items have different semantics!

Le recensioni degli altri alloggi del proprietario
Very much o.k! Room plenty, clean and sober. And very near to the center indeed.
A perfect flat for sightseeing central location. - Modern, lots of space, clean - PERFECT. Super appartment nice space for 6 adults (room for 8 = no problem) - stairs not good for small children, but a terrific accomodation. Nice and recommendable.
The apartment was spacious and the location was close to the city center. The service of the host was good and swift. The downside was that overall the apartment and for sure the bathroom were not clean at all…in the apartment there was a lot of dust and there was mold in the bathroom.
A very good apartment, it had everything we needed, washing machine, iron, iron table, soap, dishes, hot water ...etc
few things werent that perfect: it's on a second floor without an elevator 'cuz it's an old building .. the light enters through the window in the early morning and there's no way u can prevent it so be prepared if u sleep late at the previous day . other than that everything was almost perfect.
Everything was very very good! I like this flat.
For the advantages are:
geographical localization (just five minutes from metro and tram stations;
the shops are not far;
very quiet area;
nice interior, the kitchen is fully equiped (except the corkscrew if you need to open a wine bottle)));
the bathroom nice and clean;
computer with the internet access;
there were five of us, so three rooms were preatty enough.
For disadvantages are:
only one key,so it's pretty complicated if your company needs to separate and walk in different ways;
the computer is also disdvantage, because it plays on the nerves))) it is very slow and sometimes can reboot (I believe that the RAM will soon be dead);
In conclusion I would like to thank the stuff, especially Emil. He was very friendly and patient answering to my questions via this site.
Have a nice time guys!
We had a very good time in this apartment. The office for the key is only 2 minutes walk from the main train station and the apartment too. In a quiet street. Everything in walking distance. For example 15 minutes to the Carls Bridge. Our bikes had a good place inside the apartment. The people at the office where you get the key we were very kind and helpfull.
Definitely a place we would recommand to friends!
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Tout c'est bien passé. L'appartement était grand, propre et proche du centre.
J'ai eu un problème de bagages avec l' aréoport et on m'a aidé dans mes démarches pour récupérer mon sac.
C'était super!!!
Everything was nice. The flat was big, clean and close to the city's center.
The airport keep my luggage but I have been helped to get my bag back.
it was awesome!!!
Excellent apartment with a great location. Everything was clean and working. Building is very quiet, though the apartment was echoing. Very modern kitchen and bathroom. Strong waterpressure and instant hot water. Only few things that might bother people. The beds are quite low, so that might be a problem if you have mobility issues. The kitchen is also quite small if you are a large party. Those didn't affect us. The only minus for us was the fact that there wasn't any reading lamps near the beds.
Over all the apartment was great and everything worked smoothly with the renters. Prague was amazing, we are hoping to return soon. (and wouldn't hesitate to rent this apartment again)
We arrive to this apparent, but it wasn't the apartment advertised. The woman didn't tell us despite having spoken to me the day of our arrival. They made it out like our new apartment was do much nicer and it was like they were doing us a favor but the shower smelled of urine, there was urine on one of the pillows, fluff on the floor and the sofa bed tilted so that it hurt our backs and made us fall half down a gap. We also messaged the owner asking for some information but still no response and we have now left.

The biggest mistake you can make in a job interview is not being fully prepared. Dressing the part and getting yourself into the right mindset is crucial, but you won't be hired off your looks alone--you need to know what your interviewer will ask you when you sit down.
Even though a job interview can be stressful for hopeful candidates, the best way to prepare is to approach the job interview through your prospective employer's mindset. What subjects would a potential candidate need to know for the job? Although each interview is different, and the questions that are asked may change depending on the job position, below are some tips for answering the 25 most common questions you might receive during a job interview.
Job Interview Questions
Could you tell me more about yourself?
Employers use this question as a way to see how you articulate your identity. The goal here isn't to rehash every event in your life. Instead, focus on what makes you unique from a career, educational and goal-oriented standpoint. This would also be a great time to share a few of your other interests and any volunteer activities you do. Overall, develop a 30-60 second overview of what makes you a well-rounded, highly valuable candidate.
Why are you looking?
Depending on your current job status, employers will be curious to know why you want to work for them. To demonstrate, if you have a job already, why do you want to leave? Were you fired from your previous place of employment? What these examples show is you should be willing to be transparent with your answers about previous positions held or in the case of moving from one job to another, career advancement. The two things you should not mention in this question are money or any negative information about your previous employers, both of which convey bad attitudes.
Why do you want to work for us?
This is one of the questions you hope to receive during a job interview because it allows you to share the research you have done on the company, why they align with your career goals and more. This shows you take initiative, which is a desirable trait employers want.
What experience do you have for the position?
This is another question where you have the opportunity to represent who you are and show the company why you are valuable to them. Don't recite information you presented to them on your resume, instead highlight one or two specific examples of how your experience has helped you thrived in a similar role.
What qualities would your co-workers use to describe you?
In many ways, this is an offshoot on the "tell us more about yourself" question. Only, in this case, they want you to dig deeper to provide another perspective. If you can, contact a current or former co-worker and ask them that question. This provides you with a specific quote from a specific reference the company could always check out later. Most important, it also conveys you were ready for the question.
What are you doing to expand your skill set?
As noted above, employers look for those that take initiative. What makes this question so great is it can be all-encompassing. Along with pursuing more education and skills, you can add any volunteer opportunities you are doing and any self-improvement projects such as training for a marathon. The goal here is to show them that you are making strides to improve, learn and grow in all areas of your life.
Where else have you applied?
Normally, this is a good sign if a company is asking you this. They want to know if you might be applying to one of their competitors or it could be just a case of being curious as to what other opportunities you might be looking for. If you receive this question, be succinct, honest and just mention you are keeping your options open.
How do you perform under pressure?
Some professions require you to make decisions quickly even in a frenetic environment. To answer this question, recall a concrete example of when you had to perform under pressure, what that situation was and what specifically you did to handle the occasion well.
What motivates you to do your job well?
Think beyond surface level when answering this question. Instead of responding that compensation is your main motivator, share with the interviewer your desire of recognition for a job well done, how doing good work helps your company and in turn benefits you and your co-workers. This shows them how your long-term perspective could be valuable to them.
What are your biggest strengths?
This question represents the opportunity to present your strongest argument as to why you should receive the job. Instead of listing a bunch of skills, focus on the value you bring to the company. What initiatives have you undertaken in relevant positions? What have the results of those been? Have you ever been on a leadership council in one of your previous positions? The goal here to is to present your strongest case by focusing on relevant examples that will make you standout.
What are your biggest weaknesses?
This is a tricky question, because, on one hand, you don't want to rattle off a laundry list of weaknesses, on the other hand, if you say you don't have a weakness you come off as sounding inauthentic. Therefore, to answer this question masterfully, focus on one small, work-related issue you are working hard to improve on. If you need help coming up with one, ask your current supervisor what is one area where you can make strides to improve.
What are you looking for as far as salary is concerned?
Companies might use this question as a way to trick you, so be on guard if asked. You can always consult salary.com to see what the compensation range is for your profession. Of course, instead of providing a salary range you can sidestep this question by saying you are more focused on your long term career aspirations instead of compensation. Salary negotiation can come after they offer you the job.
Are you good working with others?
This is another trick question companies might try to ask you. You always answer yes when asked this question because if you don't work well with others, why would they hire you? However, if your natural tendencies are to work alone, you can mention you do work with people well but prefer to work by yourself when possible.
What suggestions have you made that worked?
Companies want to know you can create and execute ideas. With this in mind, come up with one or at least two concrete examples from previous positions where you developed ideas and what actionable steps you took to get them done. You also should provide metrics supporting how your ideas benefited the company.
Have other people you worked with annoyed you?
This is another one of those "trigger" questions, where an interviewer might try to provoke a negative response from you if you are not careful. Anyone who has had a job knows there are difficult co-workers, but mentioning them up during an interview might make the company interpret you as a negative person. If you receive this question, mention that you work well with a wide variety of people, as this a masterful sidestep while maintaining positivity.
How have you dealt with a difficult boss?
Similar to co-workers, we have all had bosses that make life miserable for no good reason but reflecting that in an interview is not a smart move. You also don't want to lie, though, because everyone has had bad bosses. A smarter move is to think of a time when you and your boss disagreed, but came to a consensus--if possible. This shows that you're honest by admitting you have worked with difficult bosses, and you are able to handle working with people you don't mesh well with.
Do you communicate effectively with your co-workers and/or boss?
Communication is one of the main pillars of successful businesses. Having everyone on the same page ensures everyone knows what they are working towards. Therefore, employers want employees who possess exceptional communication skills. If you have the luck of receiving this question, knock it out of the park by giving an example of how your communication skills benefit your previous employer. Whether it's running point on a successful project or requesting a chance to make the production run smoother, giving a point of reference to your communication skills only makes you more attractive.
What's your biggest motivating factors for your job?
This question gives you an opportunity to communicate with your prospective employer on what's important to you. Of course compensation, great benefits and flexible work/life balance is at the top of the list, but everyone knows this already. So, dig deeper, talk about the importance of having your work realized or the opportunities to learn more skills. This shows you are in this for more than a paycheck.
Where do you see yourself in five years?
Vision is another critical component employers look for, especially if you are looking to fill a leadership position. Instead of thinking in terms of job titles, approach this question more from a personal development standpoint. Do you plan to complete higher education or develop more skills in the next five years? This is your opportunity to show them that you are working towards something bigger.
Do you prefer to have people fear or like you?
List this under the "tricky" category, as employers are testing you with this question. If you are going to be a leader, you don't want people to fear you nor do you want to be everyone's best friend either. You want to be somewhere in the middle, so the best answer should you receive this question is you prefer for people to respect you.
Will you place your interests ahead of the company?
Depending on your priorities, this question could be a red flag to you. After all, if you are constantly placing the company's needs ahead of yours, how will you have a personal life outside of work? At the same time, if you say no, you're not a team player. If someone asks you this, you should request clarification of what they are implying by the question. This will give you insight into the real demands of the position and whether it's right for you.
Are you willing to go the extra mile for the company/customers/team?
This question is meant to test your attitude as it pertains to how you view your position. Employers want someone who is willing to work hard, stay committed and find solutions to difficult problems. With this in mind, you should always say yes. If you don't, it implies you don't have the commitment or right attitude for the job.
Which benefits are important to you?
Benefits don't just pertain to compensation. Use this as an opportunity to present what is the most fulfilling benefits you can have in your job. This can include telecommuting options--if available--time off options, employer rewards for a job well done, on-site cafeteria or health station and more. If a company wants to attract the top talent they will want to know what employees want, so use this as a chance to share what your priorities are.
Why should I hire you?
Here's your opportunity to land the job. List concrete examples of why your skills and education will provide value to the company you are interested in working for. During this time refrain from saying you are better than other applicants. Instead, focus on what you will offer that company.
Do you have any questions for me?
This might be the most important question you receive. This gives you the chance to ask them whatever you want. Therefore, before the interview, you should research the company and come up with a few questions about the position, the company's culture and more. You should also take notes during the interview that way if any questions arise when you are talking you can scribble them down and ask them at the end. Having prepared questions shows you listen and take this opportunity seriously; this could make a huge impression on the hiring committee.
Being confident and having an answer for every question you may be asked at a job interview are just two essential steps to getting the job. However, there are more ways to prepare for a job interview. Be sure to practice with a friend, family member, or career counselor. Preparing a list of questions to ask the interviewer is also a great way to learn more about the company and is sure to impress your employer. Finally, send a follow up thank you note after the interview closes.

Winter Storage
Now is a good time to start thinking about filling the pantry. Squash, apples, potatoes, carrots and other root vegetables can be stored in cool, dark areas of your cellar. Each fruit of vegetable needs just the right environment so ask the vendors the best way to keep a little bit of the summer with you all year round. And of course there's canning and freezing. Stock up now with local food all winter long.
And some of our vendors offer winter shares that will provide you with off-season options for local veggies and meat.
– – – – –
How Local?
Everything that is sold at the Norwich Farmers Market is made or grown in one of the four counties surrounding the market. Grafton and Sullivan counties in Hew Hampshire and Windsor and Orange in Vermont supply us with over 110 vendors. That means that your vegetables have been picked fresh for market, some coming from the fields on Saturday morning. Many of the baked goods started the morning in the oven and some of the crafts are created while you're shopping.

Looking for a quick gift? Why not get a bunch of Farmers Market tokens? They're sold as $5 coins that can be used at the Norwich Farmers Market year round. They don't take up much room, don't expire, and always fit.
Gift Certificates are available in any denomination.
Come join us for a Saturday tradition. Get there early to pick up everything that you'll need for a weekend of gardens, grills, and picnics. Bakers, weaver, carvers, and potters all conspire to make your time at market memorable.

Introductory note from Jason Pratt: I am here appending in several parts some excerpts from an unpublished book of mine, originally composed late 99/early 2000, wherein I work out a progressive synthetic metaphysic. The current topic is ethical grounding, and an analysis of problems along the three general lines of ethical explanation. The previous entry, which summarized problems with the first two general theories of ethics, can be found here.
This material continues chapter 31, "the problem with the third explanation of ethics". I won't be getting to the actual problem of the third explanation yet, but I will be introducing the third explanation and generally comparing it to the previous two.
....... [excerpt begins here]
What I will now concentrate on, is the third general theory. This theory proposes that ethics are, at bottom, objectively 'ethical'. According to this theory, when we behave 'ethically', then (at least some of the time) we are discerning, recognizing, and attempting to correspond to an aspect of objective reality that has the property of being 'ethical'.
At this point some people will pop an association and from it infer: God exists, God is good, thus ethics are objective.
This is a little too simple, for reasons I will cover presently; but there are strengths to it which should be considered, too--just as there are strengths and fatal weaknessess to the two previous general theories mentioned up to now.
A person who explains our (and his) ethical behaviors as being utterly ultimately produced by automatic reaction to non-rational causation, doesn't bother to say that cytosine and other genetic proteins are 'ethical'; and he doesn't bother saying this, because cytosine (as far as we can tell) is not rational and so does not intentively initiate actions. It merely reacts. The actual 'standard' of ethics under his theory is not itself 'ethical'.
On the other hand, the person who explains ethics as being rationally invented by humans, means that ethics are not intrinsically a part of fundamental reality--because humans haven't been around forever--and also means that if there are 4 billion humans, there are potentially 4 billion ethical standards. If those standards happen to fairly closely coincide with one another in practice, this is basically a fortuitous coincidence fostered by the common environment shared by groups of people. [See first comment below for footnote here.] The concept of murder, for instance, becomes a sliding average: it means one thing now, it meant something a little different 100 years ago, it might have meant something rather different 1400 years ago in a different society; and if there happen to be unchanging characteristics to the definition of murder across these times/cultures, this is only a result of we rational animals not having changed our behaviors, tolerances or understandings during that slice of history.
Such ethics are purely subjective in reality, although in practice the mass weight of the floating average of opinion about what constitutes 'murder' gives a sort of quasi-objective standard for purposes of comparison. However, the floating average is not itself objectively ethical. Its shape is, in essence, a coincidence of history; it could have been something else. In such theories, 'some types of killing can be or always are wrong' is not in principle a statement like 'The sum of the squares of the two shortest sides of a right triangle, is equal to the square of the side opposite the right angle'. It is a statement more like 'Currently the English word for such a shape is "triangle".'
Now, it is an objective fact that the current word in English is "triangle"; and it is an objective fact that at this moment there is such-and-such an average of opinion in the United States as to what constitutes murder. But it is also an objective fact that our English word for "triangle" is merely a subjective convenience, purely dependent upon superinducing circumstances of more-or-less trivial character; and under this ethical theory, so is our average opinion (or average opinions, in regard to disparate social groups) about murder.
The objectively ethical standard therefore must be something personal, and it must be something at the ground of reality so that it depends upon nothing else but itself.
And those two requirements combined, are simply another description of God.
Very well. For most theists, this is plain sailing; and they may consider my discussion up to this point to be a lot of verbiage to get to what they already accept to be true.
What I want my brethren to understand, however, is why sceptics often have such a hard time with this. [Footnote: Also, I have not exactly 'gotten to it' yet; I have not yet argued that an objectively ethical standard must exist. Instead, I am about to explain why the mere existence of God does not necessarily entail an objective ethical standard!]
[Next up: the fatal problem with theistic ethical grounding. Yes, I said 'fatal'. Sceptics should be jumping up and down and cheering about this. For a while. {g}]
[A very abbreviated and incomplete summary of the several hundred pages of argument preceding these chapters, can be found in my July 4th essay The Heart of Freedom.]

There was a footnote in my original text which was long enough I didn't want to interrupt a paragraph (much less a sentence) with it. So I'm appending it here. (Um, about a day late. {g})
....... [footnote follows]
There is a subtly different but far more philosophically robust secular position similar to this, which I will be discussing a couple of entries from now; at which time I will be referring back to this general theory for comparison and contrast.

Every person has a unique Constitution. The constitution is created when a sperm unites with the female ovum. The status of 5 basic elements and 3 Doshas in the nature, in the uterus, in the sperm and ovum and the body of mother, plays an important role in defining the constitution of a person. That is why the constitution is never changed and it reflects in ones mind and body. This reflects in the formation of body elements and psychological structure of the person.
Constitutional Analysis gives you the clear picture of you Body Constitution
Our body is a complicated machine. It is completely dependent on the nature for its nourishment. As we work daily and do our daily routine, our body elements have to face ware and tear. This ware and tear is to be replaced by good quality and quantity of the body elements. If these body elements are replaced by good quality and quantity of elements then our body becomes healthy and no week loops are left in our body. But if these body elements are not replaced by good quality and quantity, week loops are left in our body and that part starts creating stress in our body. This is the start of stress.
Our body consists of 7 basic body elements:-
We have different factories in our body to create these elements. Each factory has to be provided with good raw material to produce the good product. All the processes in the factory should run in a proper manner. Proper energy should be provided to each part of the factory to run the mechanism in a proper way and all the waste products should be thrown out after the formation of the good product. If this process of formation of all elements is in proper way then only the healthy product is formed and when it is supplied to the proper place by proper way then only the body gets nourished in proper manner. If there is any problem in the process coordination between 5 basic elements, 3 doshas, 7 body elements & Agni is disturbed and our body starts generating stress in the body. As body and mind are related to each other, stress effects on both mind and body and along with this, soul is also affected. It is also seen that if mind is disturbed then it affects body and soul and if soul is disturbed if affects mind and body.
By finding a correct cause and a place where the mechanism is disturbed, stress can be controlled and this is the basic principle of ayurveda treatment and analysis to control the stress.
Lifestyle management and Constitutional analysis helps us to find the week links in our body and ways to strengthen the week links

Fresh blood, thought Alexander unenthusiastically to himself as he clung to the fence of the yard, watching the other inmates rattle it furiously whilst he remained still and watchful. They gazed at the new arrivals, forced to walk in front of the men and women they would be spending the rest of their lives with. Some of them were shaking, others sweating, despite the cold at this altitude.
"Ma favourite parta the month!" Somebody yelled to Alexander's right. It was a man with a deep voice but otherwise fairly average in build and appearance, considering he was in an establishment like this one. He snarled at Alexander when he looked at him, and so Alexander just ignored him, slowly edging over to the right to ensure that he was squeezed out of the front row.
Alexander was one of the bulkiest inmates in Alcatraz 2.0, built like a tank, and he frequently used this to get what he wanted, as anybody in his position would have done. He was not the top dog - far from it - but he had all the power he desired, and this snarling man would have done well to remember that.
As the last of the fresh meat filed slowly and ashamedly down the path, Alexander saw nobody of interest. Nobody had caught his eye this month - nobody worth befriending, at least not from the look on their faces. It was a standard rabble of petty crooks and dirty thieves. Not that crooks or thieves were ever sent here, it was just an expression that had become commonplace in the prison to insult somebody. Everybody here was far beyond robbery, and often far beyond murder, and so to refer to somebody as a crook or a thief was just considered to be rude.
Having lost interest, Alexander retreated back to the yard, allowing - much to his annoyance - the average-looking man to barge back past and retake his place. How had Alexander never noticed this guy before? He seemed like the kind of person that wouldn't escape unscathed in a place like this. An arrogant fellow like that was definitely going to get into trouble sooner or later.
It was only twenty minutes more until the siren sounded, indicating that all inmates were to return to their cells. Alexander was used to the long walk back to his cell, his trunk-like legs carrying him home. People parted to let him through for the most part, and he thanked them silently. Manners got you a long way in Alcatraz 2.0.

The two day summit was attended by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Brazilian President Michel Temer and South African President Jacob Zuma. The theme for the summit was "Building Responsive, Inclusive and Collective Solutions".
Key Highlights of Goa Declaration
I. BRICS nations condemns terrorism in all its forms and stressed that there can be no justification for such acts.
II. International terrorism, especially the Islamic State (IS) is an unprecedented threat to international peace and security.
III. BRICS nations reaffirmed the commitment to increase effectiveness of the UN counter terrorism framework.

Besides, first-ever BRICS-BIMSTEC Outreach Summit was also held on side-lines of 2016 BRICS Summit. Leaders from both forums planned to jointly explore possibilities of expanding ties between them on issues such as terrorism, economy, trade and connectivity. BIMSTEC stands for Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation. BIMSTEC member countries are Bangladesh, India, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Bhutan and Nepal.
All about BRICS:
BRICS brings together five major emerging economies, comprising 43% of the world population, having 30% of the world GDP and 17% share in the world trade.
The acronym BRIC was first used in 2001 by Goldman Sachs in their Global Economics Paper, "The World Needs Better Economic BRICs" on the basis of econometric analyses projecting that the economies of Brazil, Russia, India and China would individually and collectively occupy far greater economic space and would be amongst the world's largest economies in the next 50 years or so.
As a formal grouping, BRIC started after the meeting of the Leaders of Russia, India and China in St. Petersburg on the margins of G8 Outreach Summit in 2006. The grouping was formalized during the 1st meeting of BRIC Foreign Ministers on the margins of UNGA in New York in 2006. The 1st BRIC Summit was held in Yekaterinburg, Russia, on 16 June 2009.
It was agreed to expand BRIC into BRICS with the inclusion of South Africa at the BRIC Foreign Ministers' meeting in New York in September 2010. Accordingly, South Africa attended the 3rd BRICS Summit in Sanya, China on 14 April 2011.
Previous BRICS Summits:
Seven BRICS Summits have taken place so far. The 8th BRICS Summit will be hosted by India during its Chairmanship in 2016. The earlier Summits were held as under:
· 7th BRICS Summit – 8-9 July 2015 in Russia (Ufa)
· 6th BRICS Summit - 14–16 July 2014 in Brazil (Fortaleza)

Updated Jan. 19 with complete elite field.
In a special advance release, organizers of the 60th anniversary Beppu-Oita Mainichi Marathon scheduled for Feb. 6 briefly made the names of some of this year's elite field publicly available on Jan. 14. At the top of the foreign elite field are 2003 Beppu-Oita winner Samson Ramadhani (Tanzania) and the man who made last year's Beppu-Oita of international note with an exciting come-from-behind 3rd-place finish and Australian debut record of 2:11:00, Jeff Hunt. Ramadhani, the 2006 Commonwealth Games and 2007 Biwako Mainichi Marathon champion, returns to Beppu-Oita after defeating Hunt in hot and humid conditions at October's Commonwealth Games where he was 5th in 2:19:31 to Hunt's 2:25:03 13th place finish. The rematch should be one of the highlights of this year's race.
Also in the international field are last year's runner-up Daniel Njenga (Kenya/Team Yakult), Ethiopian Abiyote Guta, last year's Marrakech Marathon 3rd placer Ahmed Baday (Morocco), Japan-based Kenyan Harun Njoroge (Team Komori Corp.) and veteran Andrew Letherby (Australia) whose PB of 2:11:42 dates to 2005.
Heading the domestic field which will by vying for a provisional spot on the 2011 World Championships team is Kazuhiro Maeda (Team Kyudenko), 2nd in 2:11:01 in his debut at the 2009 Tokyo Marathon. Alongside Maeda, 2007 Beppu-Oita winner and former national record holder Atsushi Fujita (Team Fujitsu) will be making a comeback to the marathon after a strong run at this month's New Year Ekiden and a 1:29:46 win at last February's Kumanichi 30 km. Kenichiro Setoguchi (Team Asahi Kasei) had a strong 2:11:44 debut at last year's Biwako Mainichi Marathon and will be aiming to improve on his time, as will 2010 Nobeoka Nishi Nippon Marathon winner Masaki Shimoju. Among debutants, Yuki Nakamura (Team Kanebo) may be the best bet for a strong showing, coached by national record holder Toshinari Takaoka and holding a 1:02:32 half marathon PB. The close-matched field should make for an exciting pack race.
Among the general division entrants are 59+ world record holder Yoshihisa Hosaka and the 2009 Tokyo Marathon Man in the Wig, Nobuaki Takata. For the first time Beppu-Oita will also host an official women's field, featuring 17 second-tier pro and upper-level club women led by Team Kyudenko's Yuka Ezaki. Pacemakers include two-time Beppu-Oita winner and course record holder Gert Thys (South Africa).

So much for my happy endingMature
Chapter 13- Misery fluttered his eyelids open and yawned as he stared up the plain white ceiling in his dorm. Rubbing his eyes, he sat up and turned his head towards the digital clock on the night stand. The red numbers blinked: 8:30 a.m. He frowned as he looked at the date. As of this day, it had been the one year anniversary of his ex-lover's death in that old abandoned warehouse deep within a dark alley. No wonder I had that dream last night, Misery thought as he plopped back down onto his warm black and white cotton bed. The dream he had was about a time he spent with Envy at the beach, and he tried to teach the fragile boy how to swim while he was still blind. But he wasn't blind since six months ago. Six months ago, Seth, the owner of the orphanage Misery and his friends still inhabited, paid for Misery to get an eye transfusion – to make him see again. Of course, the first thing Misery had asked to see was a picture of Envy (followed by seeing his friends afterwards). When Seth had given him a picture of Envy in his sleeveless white and blue lined jacket and navy blue sweatpants, Misery cried. Just as Misery thought. Perfect. There was no other way of describing him. It was so hard to believe; in the picture Envy seemed to be full of life while holding an eighty pound barbell. But in reality, the black haired boy knew the blue haired boy's soul was high up in the heavens, and his body was somewhere beneath the earth with a plaque right next to his headstone. A plaque Misery had thought of himself. A plaque that read: Here lies a boy who died with dignity, with honor, with bravery and courage. A boy who loved another boy. A boy who died at the hands of his own brother who had been a homophobic. This boy was 8 years of age. Let it be known that this is not what anyone who loves someone of the same gender should face. Death is not the answer to love. Let it also be known that anyone who is homosexual – do not hide in the shadows – face the world! Embrace your same-sex partner on the street, kiss them in public! And remember, God promised us rainbows. Misery smiled slightly at the thought of the memorial. This tiny spark of energy was about to make him hop off his bed and change to go get some breakfast, but he was soon interrupted by two obnoxiously loud knocks on his dorm door. Rolling his stone grey eyes playfully, he announced, "Come in!" Immediately, the door swung open, and Hitan along with a friend, Kirby, a spunky young cat girl with pink cat ears, a pink cat tail, and naturally pink hair, rushed into the room cheerfully. Kirby bounded up to Misery carrying a tray with two syrup drizzled waffles, a piece of a toast, and an apple and placed it on the night table beside him. As she stepped aside, smiling warmly, Hitan ran over to Misery and threw his arms around him, placing a kiss on the black haired boy's cheek. A while after Envy died, Hitan had become Misery's lover other than just his best friend. Not only were they there to support each other and lend a helping hand, but it was a shimmer in Hitan's attitude that reminded Misery of a younger Envy that made him want to be his lover. "Good morning, Miz-chan! Did you know it's supposed to snow today?" Kirby broke in, still smiling; indicating the black and white checkered scarf wrapped around her neck. Misery couldn't help but frown at the reminder of day. Secretively, Hitan and Kirby shared worried glances before looking back at him. They both were aware of the day as well. It's weird how weather, sound and scenery always fit in with an event, Misery thought to himself, not making eye contact with the other two people in his dorm. Hitan was the next one to speak, trying to sound as innocent as possible. Hitan always had a knack for that. "But don't you love snow, Miz-chan?" Misery looked up at him again and said defensively, "I do, it's just-" "The date," Kirby announced out loud, "It's Envy's one year anniversary since he..." she trailed off solemnly. Hitan sighed, and Misery nodded in agreement. As any lover would do, the brown haired boy sat beside Misery at his bed side and held him close; Kirby knelt down on the floor and placed a gentle hand on the grey eyed boy's knee. Misery nuzzled his head against Hitan's chest, inhaling the sweet strawberry scent that arose from the older boy. I will never forget Envy; he changed me, and he changed everyone. He made a movement; he stood up to people that looked down at him the most. He sent Itami to life in prison. He didn't deserve to die, but he died gallantly like 'fighter' and as stealthy as 'ninja'. I will never forget his love; I will never forget his miracles. Heh, I hope he has some sort of spiritual instruction guide planned out for Hitan on how to take care of me...how much of a daily dose of love I need. Still I know...I will never be abandoned. It's only fate that I will reunite with Envy... someday...when there will be only peace and equality.

Fine Uploader 3.5 has been released, and I have done my best to include some new features and improvements, along with a bunch of bugfixes. The two new major features are a standalone file/folder drag and drop module (for use in FU mode, FUB mode, and outside of Fine Uploader) and a new API that allows for programatic detection of supported features (in the current user agent).
Please see the downloads page to download the latest released version of the library.
Features & Enhancements
- Standalone drag & drop module. Now, you can easily integrate Fine Uploader file/folder drag & drop module into your FineUploaderBasic mode project as well. In fact, you can use this new module outside of Fine Uploader, if you'd like. It is no longer directly tied to FineUploader mode. Please read the blog post on this new module for more details. (#577)
- A new API that allow for programatic detection of all supported feature based on the current browser. See the documentation on the new Feature Detection Module for details. (#680)
getNetUploadsAPI method that returns the number of net uploaded files. This includes and files successfully uploaded during the current session. Deleted files are excluded from this count. (#634)
- Allow parameters and an endpoint to be passed along with files or blobs into the
addBlobsAPI methods. (#760)
- Pass
XMLHttpRequestinstance (if available) as a parameter to
onCompletecallback. (#730)
- Allow default
onErrorcallback message to be overridden. (#779)
- Don't require a promise to be returned in
onPasteReceivedcallback. (#777)
- Complete refactoring of folder drop handling code in the drag & drop module. This should make the module much easier to understand and remove some of the awfulness that was obvious by simply glancing at the code in the past. Several small bugs were detected and addressed during this effort as well. (#715)
- Updated node.js server-side example, thanks to logickal. (fine-uploader-server #1)
Bugs Fixed
- 0-sized files are not rejected. (#796)
- Cancel button is not triggered when it is not a direct child of the file item element. (#768)
isBlobcheck returns incorrect result when executing comparison in differing
windows. (#758)
- Dropping an alias in OS X (Chrome) cripples the uploader. (#745)
- Fix unsafe implementation of
mergeFilesmethod in Java server-side example. Thanks to lauebi for this fix. (#748)
Changes Planned For 3.6
Please see the open (to be worked on or in-progress) and closed (completed or removed) cases in the 3.6 milestone. Please pay careful attention to the tags assigned to each case for additional important context. Feel free to comment on any of these cases. Make your opinion heard, before it's too late! Note that the list of planned features may change at any time during the release.
As always, please let me know (in the forums or the issue tracker) if you have any suggestions for improvement, or any killer features you'd like me to add.
-Ray Nicholus and the rest of the Fine Uploader team at Widen Enterprises.

Here is the article:
Its amazing all the opportunities that seem to lie at Michelle's feet.
Now, Michelle. The first thing you have to do, if you hope for your partners Mary Kay and Walmart to make commercial inroads in China, is to get your buddy Prsident Hu to allow the value of Chinese currency to float to its natural market value versus the dollar, instead of keeping it artificially low so that China can flood U.S. markets with cheap goods. This keeps wages artificially low in China, while contributing to the federal debt and unemployment in the U.S. Stockpiling U.S. dollars will not really help China in the long run (we can always print more.)
Congratulations, Michelle, for your new official post.
Now, Michelle, as an international economist, you must be keenly aware of the perilous position the Dollar has been in. The US even invaded Irag to ensure PetroDollar stay as such, as that scoundrel Saddam Hussain had the gall to ask for Euros for his oil! After all those years of bestowing friendship as well as financial and military aids on him, how could US stand by while he initiated and spread such damaging practice?! Without the PetroDollar as the World's Reserve Currency, and privileges of writing checks people don't cash, the US$ could have tanked instead of slowly sinking. Granted China has been propping up the Dollar and the US economy not all out of altruism. They have to protect their Trillion Dollar loans to the US. Surely you must have laughed at the shows both governments put up, with the US assuring China of its Strong Dollar Policy while trying to inflat away its ginormous debts by printing insane amounts of the fiat Dollar, and China promising to support the said Dollar by not dumping its US Treasury Notes, all the while spending and investing US$ all over the world to procure current and future tangible resources, knowing the $'s purchasing power will inevitably diminish. They even have the audacity to buy goodwill by using the Dollars to build infra-strutures, malls, villages, etc. all over Africa and South America!
You must know well, Michelle, that without a strong fiat Dollar to buy oil and real goods produced with real (and cheap) labor, most Americans' standard of living would long have plunged. In fact, prices would have inflated so much that even many employed Americans would find it hard to afford food for their families and energy to heat or cool their homes or to transport themselves and their goods. Witness how much the cost of everything that can't be imported has risen over the years, such as health care and other professional services, as well as real estate until it collapsed from super inflation. Yes, yes, you and I both know price inflation is finally happening anyway. The Big Banks have been having barrels of fun and profits leveraging all the play money gifted them by their government buddies, causing asset inflation, but eventually some of the trillions of printed Dollars are flowing out to the general population. There is only so much China can do to slow down and postpone the Dollar devaluation and hyper inflation.
All posturing notwithstanding, the two frienemies have actually been counting on each other to manage and moderate the decline of the once mighty Buck. Meanwhile they put on the dog and pony shows to cover their shenanigans of public charges and censures with closed door negotiations and actual collabrations, as well as displays of big smiles and mutual assurances at state banquets with hidden agendas and schemes backed up with missiles and warships. However, Michelle, of all people, you should be able to glide, spin, and jump your way through the political gamesmanship with the skills and grace you have honed in your long and luminous skating career.
BTW, Michelle, do thank China for their draconian One Child Policy without which the price of oil must have been way over $200/barrel and starvation and food riots must be rampant all over the world already instead just beginning.
Your role may sound minor, Michelle, but let's hope you will help women to rise up and wise up the world's governments. In any event, please ensure figure skating flourish as the coolest sport in both countries.
Negociations are well under way but so far USA is holding firm and demanding two trillion for Michelle's services.
That along with free Chinese takeout for the Whitehouse.

Robert Pattinson Named Rolling Stone's Hot Actor of the Year
"Twilight" leading actor Robert Pattinson earns one more accolade as Rolling Stone magazine has just named him Hot Actor of the Year. Showing off his 'hotness', he is photographed for the publication's Hot List laying on what looks like floor, wearing a white undershirt and puffing away a cigarette.
Speaking of his fame after playing the role of Edward Cullen in vampire flick "Twilight", Robert shares to Rolling Stone, "Twilight is a metaphor for the virtues of chastity, but it's had the opposite effect." The 22-year-old British actor continues sharing his odd experience with fans, stating, "I get letters that say, 'I'm going to kill myself if you don't watch High School Musical 2 with me.'" He additionally reveals, "A mother recently gave me her baby and asked, 'Can you please bite his head?'"
In related news, Robert Pattinson also graces this week's Entertainment Weekly, to which he shares about his fluctuating body weight while shooting "Twilight". "I used to go to the gym for about five hours a day but then I started losing so such weight. My head started to look really huge in comparison to the rest of my body," he recalls his days prior to filming the box office hit.
After that, "[Director Catherine Hardwicke] came up to me and said, 'What are you doing to yourself?'", he says, adding that "[To gain weight,] I literally stopped exercising. Eating a cheeseburger after 2 1/2 months of doing that- it tasted like ambrosia."

Chapter X.Mature
He stared intensely at the desk. The characters on all the papers seemed different now. To his eyes, they were not typed, but handwritten. All the papers looked like the personal records of the women here. Everything seemed to have a mark of life imprinted on it. His eyes flicked back forth, to and fro over the crowded desk. He was alarmed. In disbelief his mind raced as he tried to reason with himself. The desk now looked shrouded in dissimilar scraps of paper.
To steady himself, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a box of matches and a single cigarette. The crackling of the match as it lit calmed SturmmannDresner immediately. The cigarette remained poised against his lips as he lit it, and in one deep breath, the delight of tobacco rushed through his veins. His tensed muscles relaxed almost immediately. It was a comforting and calming thing, the cigarette.
He was intoxicated by the power he had. Dresner could save these women, the papers. Fold them and keep them in his pocket. Or, he could let them fade away into an existence of merely memories.
He flicked the match to the ground and stamped it out with his heavy black boots. His expression darkened and he began to erupt into fits of laughter. His maniacal fits of laughter caused the cigarette stub to fall from his mouth.
Sturmann Dresner lit another match, except this time; there was no cigarette to accompany it. He flicked the lit match onto the heaped pile of papers on the table. The papers on the table rapidly caught ablaze. The flames danced in front of his dark brown eyes and illuminated the darkened hut.

PortraitJulia Pascal's plays are edgy personal and political dramas often connected to Jewish culture and history. From British collaboration with the Nazis on the Channel Islands to current Palestinian-Israeli conflicts, they explore the complexity of the most highly-charged conflicts of our age. These texts range from dance-theatre Expressionism to naturalism and often offer large roles to women which challenge stereotypes. The plays have an international dimension. Year Zero is set in Vichy France. St Joan in London and Paris. The Dybbuk takes place in Eastern European ghetto. Crossing Jerusalem is 24 hours in the life of a Jerusalem family. Honeypot is a spy story situated in Stockholm and Paris. Styles range from cabaret to thriller. And always there is sharp dialogue that is often darkly funny as well as disturbing. The plays have been staged in the UK, the USA, Belgium, France, Germany and Sweden.

Your Chevrolet dealership isn't the only place to locate the best repair parts to fix your LUV. It's not all the time that you discover you need a replacement Disc Brake Pads for your automobile. While it's not hard to find replacement parts for Chevrolet vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the absolute best are required to repair your automobile. Auto enthusiasts know that a brand you can trust is built into each Chevrolet, and understand that only top quality repair LUV parts will suffice when maintenance needs to be done.
Your Chevrolet LUV disc brake pads evolved from an experimental method of braking pioneered by the racing teams of Europe in the early 20th century. They provide a more effective style of braking through the application of friction than the brake shoes they eventually replaced. You will find your vehicle's brake pads on either side of the rotor placed inside your caliper. When you depress your brake pedal hydraulic pressure is sent to the caliper, and it pushes the disc brake pads onto the surface of the brake disc absorbing its energy. This thermal reaction slows your car or truck down, and eventually brings it to a stop.
Given all the trouble that can be involved with installing a part to fix your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make buying it easy. When your Chevrolet needs a top quality replacement Disc Brake Pads, there's no need to trust any store other than the authority, Car Parts Discount.

Cincinnati to Become Largest Midwest City to Reward Residents for Recycling with RecycleBank Citywide
Published: June 28, 2010
CINCINNATI (Monday, June 28, 2010) — As the leaves turn brown this fall, Cincinnati residents will have incentives to turn green when the City furthers its commitment to environmental quality and unveils an enhanced recycling program, slated to begin this October. The City officially announced today that it is partnering with waste hauler Rumpke Recycling, recycling cart manufacturer Cascade Engineering, and rewards program RecycleBank to incent the recycling process. Following a City Council vote in May, Cincinnati is moving forward with a new program that gives residents larger carts and rewards for recycling. Cincinnati is the largest Midwest city to deploy RecycleBank citywide; other Midwest areas with RecycleBank include suburbs of Detroit, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Omaha, Sioux Falls, and a pilot program in three wards of Chicago.
"The City is excited to provide this innovative new service to citizens," Mayor Mark L. Mallory said. "People are looking for creative new ways to become more 'green' in their everyday lives. The larger recycling carts are going to allow people to recycle much more than they do now, and the great part is that they will be rewarded for how much they recycle."
RecycleBank is a rewards program that motivates people to take greener actions, like household recycling, by rewarding them with points that are redeemable for rewards from local and national retailers, restaurants, pharmacies, grocers, and more. Similar to frequent flier programs, the more a community recycles, the more RecycleBank Points participating households earn. Single- or multi-family residences with Cincinnati curbside trash service are eligible to participate in the program free of charge.
With each roll out, communities will switch from weekly to bi-weekly recycling pick up. By switching to bi-weekly pick up, Cincinnati will save an estimated $700,000 in collection costs. In addition, with the expected increase in recycling, the City looks to save an estimated $364,000 annually in landfill disposal fees. This is all on top of residents receiving points redeemable for valuable rewards for recycling.
"This strategic partnership will allow us to offer enhanced recycling services more efficiently," City Manager Milton Dohoney said. "It really is a win-win situation for everyone. It allows us to be good stewards of public monies and RecycleBank will help bring valuable benefits to Cincinnati residents who recycle and drive business to our neighborhood business districts."
The four-phase rollout of recycling carts begins this fall and citywide implementation is expected to take up to five months. Cascade will deliver the recycling carts complete with the new recycling schedule and information for residents on signing up with RecycleBank. The rewards-for-recycling program has hundreds of partners for residents to redeem points for rewards, including Nature Made, Coca-Cola, CVS/pharmacy, Huggies, McDonald's, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Dick's Sporting Goods, among others. Local partners include Half Price Books, Pipkin's Market, Park + Vine, Champps Entertainment and more. In the coming months, RecycleBank will work to get additional local businesses involved in the rewards program.
RecycleBank isn't new to some residents in Hamilton County. Montgomery residents have increased their recycling rate by 39 percent since October 2008, when Rumpke partnered with RecycleBank.
"As a leading recycling firm in the Midwest, Rumpke acknowledges we have a responsibility to our customers," Rumpke Vice President Jeff Rumpke said. "We know they are depending on Rumpke to discover and implement the best options to manage the waste society produces. Remaining on the forefront of technology in this industry is a must. That's the reason we've invested in new processing systems at our material recovery facility and we're proud to partner with the City of Cincinnati to implement RecycleBank in this region."
RecycleBank Midwest General Manager Atul Nanda said, "RecycleBank is helping to create a culture that encourages people to take simple steps towards greener lifestyles. In other cities, we've helped to double, triple, and even quadruple recycling rates. We're excited to further expand our services in Ohio and bring valuable rewards to the families in Cincinnati, while helping the City reach its environmental goals."
"By adopting new technology and proven strategies, I am confident we will double the volume of recyclables collected and reach our 25 percent diversion goal by 2012," Cincinnati's Office of Environmental Quality Director Larry Falkin said.
Falkin said that the City is using $750,000 from the Energy Efficiency & Conservation Block Grants (EECBG) awarded to Cincinnati through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), or "Stimulus Act", to manage the program and to purchase the new recycling carts. Funds for the recycling program cannot be used for the City's general operating expenses, such as police services, garbage collection or health services, he added.
RecycleBank currently services more than one million people across 26 states and in the United Kingdom. Since 2005, more than 300 participating communities have recycled over 284,291 tons of material, helping to save close to 35 million gallons oil, 4.2 million trees, and a reduction of 866,811 metric tonnes in carbon emissions.
