This was our 3rd trip with smarTours, and we have enjoyed every one of them. We experienced a wonderful variety of sites. There was so much to see and do on this trip. Our guides were excellent, and our tour directors, Granville and Elena, both deserve special kudos for their breadth of knowledge and for making this trip so memorable.
This was our 1st smarTours trip. Based on this excellent experience we plan to do more. There was so much to see and do! I am so glad we finally made it to Greece and the Aegean Sea. Granville Lee Warner and Elana were outstanding guides. Both Granville and Elana were enthusiastic, knowledgeable and dedicated to making our trip as enjoyable as possible. We signed up for all of the side trips and thus our days were full. Yet the pace was always just about right and our travel group really enjoyed each other's company. Credit Granville and Elana for our learning experiences, group cohesion and many fun times.
This was our 2nd SmarTour trip and lived up to its name. The itinerary was very ambitious and not for the faint of heart. Nevertheless , despite the the amount walking/climbing , you never felt rushed and there were plenty of rest stops along the way. The amount of information and education we received on both the cruise and land tours was phenomenal due to the excellent guides we had on board and land. Granville Lee Warner was nothing less than phenomenal. His enthusiasm, compassion and breadth of knowledge were exceptional and his personality infectious. His anecdotal stories along the way were entrancing. Elena, was was a gem. Her knowledge base of archeology and Greek mythology was extensive and presented in a clear story book method that was captivating. It was Granville and Elena that made this trip as enjoyable and unforgettable as one could hope for and not to be forgotten.
Our Greece trip was our 5th with SmarTours and was fabulous throughout ! The tour directors ,Granville and Elena, were beyond superb ! Their knowledge of and passion for Greece was the glue that made our group so tight knit. We are in our 70's and the pace of this tour gave us all we wanted,physically speaking. The tour also gives you many tremendous sights and history that makes travel so worthwhile. Despite the turmoil in Syria, we always felt very safe in Greece and would urge you to make the trip.(Our trip dates were 4/30-5/10/16). Great job, SmarTours !!
I really enjoyed my tour of Greece.We were impressed with our leader and how he finagled our own little lounge to give us tour info and the speedy way he got us off the boat to have more time. It was disappointing to get to an island in tne dark. I really enjoyed Elana , She has a great personality and would love to know when she has her baby. The Mt climbing was a little rough on my knees,but I never felt rushed. I has just studied about John and Ephesus this fall so it was so meaningful to me. I was really awed. ONe highlight for me was seeing the original huge vase in the Nat. museum of one my husband had brought for me many years ago. One suggestion is to tell people the temp in the Mt is colder than Athens . Also warn them about losing day light saving.
Where do I begin? To start we had a 4 day boat cruise to Mikonos, Rhodes, Crete, Patmos, Santorini, Ephesus Turkey with our fantastic tour guide Mr. Granville Lee Warner. Granville was the super star guide. Passonate, personable and exetremly knowledgeable about Greece and its special places to visit and enjoy. The next four days was a land tour on tour buses. Out tour guide Matina and bus driver Mario were good and we survived the mountains of Delphi, Nafpaktos, Olympia and Mycenae and finally Athens. During the land tour Granville rejoined our tour and we finished off with a Metro ride in Athens with Granville. What a fabulous tour! I must thank Granville for all his hard work getting us back and forth without a hitch and fabulous stories and visits to those special places. Coach.
The trip was a great time. The guides were great, the cruise was wonderful, and the sights overwhelming. We had terrific weather, just a touch of rain. The tours showed ancient landscapes that lasted the tests of time. This was a trip I had wanted to take for years and am very happy it finally happened.
We had such a great time while in Greece. Granville was an amazing guide on the cruise portion of the trip. He is definitely an asset for SmarTours. He was like a brother who just had to share his country Greece with us that he now lives in. He did a fabulous job. Elena was equally impressive on the land portion. She was very knowledgeable and delighted in sharing her knowledge of Greece with us. I highly recommend your Spectacular Greece tour to anyone who would like to experience a quick comprehensive tour of Greece. Way to go SmarTours!
I had always hoped to visit Greece and am so glad I did it through Smartours. If it wasn't for Granville, our sea tour guide, I don't know if I'd appreciate Greece as much-he has so much passion and love for Greece, he made it an unforgettable experience. This trip was so affordable and I can't wait to go back!
I much enjoyed both our guides (Granville and Melitza) and loved all the sightseeing, learning, and laughing. WHile the schedule and activities were tiring, there is nothing I would want to take out of the trip. It was well planned, most interesting, and beautiful. The on-board musicians were very good. I esp. liked the Greek music in the lounge and the Afro-Cuban band in the night club. I felt the value was very good and I could recommend this tour to anyone.

The title is a placeholder. The story is about dimensional travel as an industry. Part of a Camp NaNo story, April 2016.
*Reminder: This work is entirely unedited and is literally a FIRST DRAFT, so while rates are appreciated, if you're going to rate this down without leaving something constructive, you can just keep the rating to yourself as it's not encouraging or beneficial.*
So he was attractive and capable.
Mabel flipped her hair over her shoulder, blowing the straggling pieces out of her face; the heat was beating down from the double suns and there was no discernible wind from any direction. From behind her came the steady sounds of Elco's breath, just a few paces slower than hers. She pushed down the thread of envy that wove around her chest - she knew this desert, had memorized the course, and still he kept pace. A newcomer, a client, even, but he would give her a run for her credits, she expected.
"How much farther?" He'd come to stand beside her and his gloomy grey eyes stared out over the ravine she'd been surveying seconds before.
"An hour, maybe two if you need a break." She took a swig from her canteen and offered it to him. She didn't ask if he meant to their final destination or to the next portal, but it wasn't her interest to keep tabs on time in dimensions they hadn't even gotten to yet.
He drank and handed the canteen back, wiping his mouth on his wrist. "And how many dimensions after that?"
When she rolled her eyes, she realized he'd stopped looking at the ravine and had turned his focus to her. "Someone's eager." Slipping the canteen back into it's place at her hip, she checked the straps on her pack and re-bound up her hair.
He rolled his shoulders and smiled at her attitude, "I've paid quite a sum to do this, I'm excited to see if it was worth it."
"At least two, but it could be more. If one of the doorways has shifted, it could be a dozen dimensions before we get there. I know we've gone over this."
"Right, right," he said, nodding and gesturing with an open palm to the pathless tundra ahead of them. "I'm in no need of a break, so lead on."
A quick glance at her timepiece told her she was spot-on as they approached the cliff-side where she knew they would find the doorway. Her veins were singing with the power of it, even from a distance. She could have found it with her eyes closed.
Mabel approached the face of the mountain, palm open, and let the vibrations of the portal inside kiss at her skin like little electrically charged fireflies. A smile crept onto her face that she did not feel.
Stepping up close to her, Elco said, "Are we close?"
She barely turned her eyes to him, that crooked, mischievous smile still quirking her lips. "We're here." Without bothering to see if he would follow, she stepped through the rocks and into raw space.

Landmark Chambers is celebrating another successful year, with income up 4 per cent and revenue per barrister up nearly 10 per cent.
The specialist property and planning set saw revenue rise to £15.9m from 2005's £15.3m. Revenue per barrister grew from £247,000 to £269,000 as the set ended the year with three fewer tenants.
Chief executive Joel Hagan said: "I think we've been focusing harder on being more defined in the sector that we're targeting."
Landmark lost two tenants to 6 Pump Court during the course of the last financial year, which ended on 31 March, and three barristers retired. In addition, one member chose to become a full tenant of a regional set.
But the chambers also added to its ranks with the hires of public law specialists Ashley Underwood QC and Samantha Broadfoot from 2 Field Court.
Hagan said the set would continue to focus on its core areas, but was also planning to expand sideways into sectors such as environmental law. "I expect to be acquiring some talent in the areas that we're fleshing out," he said.


text: Very cool design! What kind of steel did you use? Since my instruct able I have been learning a lot about better knife and blade making. The blades I had made are not of as high carbon as would be good for knives, tho the method aside from needing hardened and tempered is still good. I'm honored to have inspired you and it is a beautiful design. I encourage you to research " good knife steel" and hardning and tempering for the steel you use. Awesome work.

Friends mourn Kennesaw State student
by: Ashley Swann Updated:
COBB COUNTY, Ga. - Channel 2 Action News is working to get more details from police after the arrest of a woman accused of fatally shooting a Kennesaw college student.
Sparkles Lashayla Lindsey, 22, was taken into custody late Friday night in the shooting of Kim Kilgore, 21.
Kilgore was shot and killed about 2 a.m. Friday in Kennesaw. Cobb police confirm a road rage incident between two women led to a physical altercation before shots were fired in the parking lot of the Shiloh Green Apartments in Kennesaw.
Lindsey, a resident of Austell, has been charged with aggravated assault and murder.
Loved ones said Kilgore should have been working at Johnny's BBQ in Powder Springs Friday night. Instead, her friends and colleagues say she died after being taken off life support, hours after she was shot at the apartments.
"She was a beautiful person inside and out," friend and colleague Emily Benton told Channel 2's Ashley Swann. "Her personality just lifted everybody up."
Kilgore's boss at the restaurant says Kilgore's best
friend, who he also employs, witnessed the shooting.
"She just couldn't believe everything that happened," Rick Collett said. "I don't understand how there could be an altercation
because ... she was not combative at all."
Kilgore, known as "KK" to friends, attended Kennesaw State University and worked at Johnny's every weekend.
"She works every Friday night and here it is Friday night and we're walking
around ... just can't even describe the feeling," Manager Alisa Pannell told Swann.
Kilgore's friends and loved ones are sharing photos and memories of her on social media sites using the hashtag #prayforkim.
They hope prayers will bring peace, but also justice for the person who took her life.
"How can somebody do that? I mean, how do you just do that to an innocent person?" Pannell asked. "It's just nothing you can prepare yourself for."
Swann will have new details on this story on The Channel 2 Action News Nightbeat at 11.

Chapter 16
The first day of Year 11 began with the usual pattern of assembly, form time, the distribution of timetables, and of course break. After break, Kamilla went to Textiles while I went to History. We were given our new textbooks for Weimar and Nazi Germany. I missed Medicine Through Time but I knew I would have to keep up my revision on that because the final GCSE would cover both Medicine Through Time and Nazi Germany. History was followed by Graphics, where Mr Toon told us about the importance of the practical project we had in Year 11 and how we had to decide early what we wanted to do.
I had lunch with Selby and Kamilla and then we went to check the common room noticeboard as usual. In Year 11 there was an opportunity to sign up to be a student mentor. You recieved training and you were in the role for a year, so you had to apply early. It meant of course that you couldn't do any other extra curricular activity if you were on it but that didn't matter. Kamilla and I filled out the application forms and handed them in but Selby wasn't interested in being a mentor. He decided instead to sign up for Energizer like I had done last year which also meant he could hang out with Jack.
After lunch, Kamilla and I went to Geography where we were briefly told about the Decision Making exam that was coming up in January. We then started work on Settlement. My first day of Year 11 ended with a Maths lesson where I was forced to ask for Selby and Kamila's help with the algebra. Oh well, I thought. We all have our Achilles' heel.
A week after our applications, Kamilla and I were both interviewed by our Head of Year and, to our joy we both secured our places as student mentors. This meant of course sacrificing one hour after school each day and one of our two tutorial periods but we didn't mind. The weeks leading up to October half term were busy but it meant that Selby, Kamilla and myself had much to discuss at break and lunch. We did not of course say anything about the mentoring scheme other than the fact that we were deeply enjoying it, for obvious confidentiality reasons. I never used my powers during the mentoring sessions because I did not want to encourage dependency.
On occasion I would use them sparingly in school but outside the mentoring sessions, if I felt anyone would benefit from it. However, I usually used my powers outside of school, and with my beautiful girlfriend. A few weeks after my return to school, I decided on my Graphics project this year - the designing and making of greeting cards. I got Mr Toon's blessing for the project and set to work with draft sketches. This particular year was going to be tremendously busy from what I had heard. On December 12th was the Year 11 Dinner Dance. We had our Year 11 mock exams in late November which meant October half term had to be committed to revising and neither Kamilla nor I could even think about borrowing either Devastatingly Magnificent or Foxtail and Eagle for a while.

The PS4 might have outsold the Xbox One early on, but Microsoft's console had a storming finish to the year, according to new figures.
It was the best-selling console in the US in both November and December, Microsoft revealed via Xbox Wire. Weekly average sales during the last two months of the year outpaced the Xbox 360 by 50 per cent at the same point in its lifecycle. Impressive.
But it's not just Microsoft who should be breaking out the champagne. Sales of all consoles have increased by a decent amount compared to last year. According to NPD, annual sales for 2014 hit $5.07 billion, which is 20 per cent up on the $4.24 billion in 2013.
Hardware sales actually dropped a little in December, however, which is usually the biggest time of year. Sales were $1.31 billion, down from $1.37 billion in 2013.
Things aren't so rosy on the software side either. Sales of software at retail channels was $5.30 billion in 2014, which is a drop of 13 per cent compared to 2013's $6.11 billion.
Microsoft also boasted that games were selling well for its consoles. "Thanks to a strong, diverse portfolio of titles, Xbox One sold more games throughout November and December in the US than any other current-generation platform," it said.

The Xbox 360 also became the best-selling seventh-generation console of all time in the US, according to Microsoft. There's life in the old dog yet.
Microsoft also cut the price of the Xbox One by $50.

The choice of the Indian Ocean port for the ANC's penultimate rally, dubbed "Siyanqoba" (we are winning), was the latest signal of the ruling party's confidence that it has mastered the challenge from the Inkatha Freedom Party, formerly dominant in KwaZulu-Natal.
In the run-up to the first all-race elections, in 1994, clashes between ANC and IFP supporters claimed hundreds of lives in the province. This time, 23,000 security troops have been deployed and free campaigning has been possible virtually everywhere. The IFP's leader, Mangosuthu Buthelezi, who is also Home Affairs Minister and has a good relationship with Mr Mbeki, has even been heard to shout "Viva ANC" at his own rallies. The two parties signed a peace pact earlier this month and have tested it in former no-go areas by campaigning side-by-side - sending a powerful signal that intimidation tactics by warlords, chiefs and party agents are unacceptable.
The Durban rally came at the end of three weeks of intense campaigning by 26 parties, 16 of which are competing for the national vote. The campaign has been remarkable for grassroots calm, the display of the ANC'S extraordinary financial resources, an excess of slogans and a lack of focused debate.
The ANC, boosted by a $20m (pounds 12.5m) donation from the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, will win up to two-thirds of the national vote and at least seven out of South Africa's nine provinces. Consequently, it has confidently left the opposition parties - none of which, singly, can hope for more than 10 or 12 per cent of the vote - to scrap over issues such as South Africa's 35 per cent unemployment rate and its rampant crime.
The ruling party, instead, has concentrated on swamping the country with millions of posters, T-shirts and caps. It has also showed a preference for rabble-rousing rallies over question-and-answer sessions.
On the road 10 days ago in the rural Transkei, Mr Mbeki's birthplace and that of a host of leaders of the struggle against apartheid, Nelson Mandela's anointed successor spent the morning briefly reaching for the elusive populist in himself. Born nearly 57 years ago in the Transkei hills, he is nevertheless distant from his roots as a result of boarding school, Sussex University and exile.
During a day which included a visit to his ancestral village, a helicopter drop-in on his mother and a meeting with local business people, Mr Mbeki tried hard to look casual. But the ANC polo shirt just did not go with his navy blue suit. He looked ill at ease with the sheep, slaughtered for him by the elders, and the traditional sorghum beer he was expected to stir.
The evening meeting in the city of Umtata was easier for him as he invited questions from the floor which focused on corruption and inefficiency in the Eastern Cape provincial government. Mr Mbeki was shocked - "We did not win freedom for people to play cards on their computers", he said - and promised to look into the problem.
But while the audience took him on trust, his visit to the Eastern Cape, of which the old Transkei homeland is part, was not a success. The ANC government has neglected this impoverished region almost as badly as did the old apartheid regime. The shepherds and peasant women among its rolling hills feel abandoned by their own sons.
Mr Mbeki had to enlist President Mandela and all the other Xhosa royal blood within the ANC - including the charismatic Winnie Madikizela-Mandela - to travel from village to village, gently coaxing traditional chiefs to back the ruling party. The ANC has brought the chiefs on to the government payroll but these kings and queens who dominate rural life are not all convinced.
"It is sometimes difficult to get the ANC to understand," said Mr Mbeki, "that over many decades of struggle it became urban-based and is relatively insensitive to rural questions... with what has been done it is not possible not to do better." That mea culpa goes a long way towards explaining the ANC's paranoia about parties which appeal to a similar support base and are better at attracting the rural vote.
In the Eastern Cape the rival is called the United Democratic Movement. Its leader, Bantu Holomisa, is a local chief and former ANC cabinet member who was expelled from the ruling party after alleging President Mandela had accepted illicit party funding. His deputy, Roelf Meyer, is a white former National Party minister. This makes the UDM the only opposition party whose appeal is not racially based. It could have surprising success nationally, because it also appeals to members of the Indian community and Afrikaners.
The Western Cape is ruled by the former party of apartheid, now called the New National Party, which wants the return of the death penalty and tells its Coloured (mixed-race) supporters in the townships that the ANC just favours blacks.
Some opinion polls have put the ANC and the NNP neck and neck in the Cape. But South African polls are often out of date, and the province has a huge number of undecided voters. An unknown factor is the support for the Democratic Party, which appeals to wealthy whites.
These regions have seen the most active electioneering, on issues affecting the provincial ballot rather than the national vote. Many South Africans say they intend to split their vote; it is not inconceivable, for example, that a Coloured person in the Western Cape will vote for the ANC nationally and for the law-and-order policies of the NNP provincially.
One of the most striking aspects of the pre-election period - even prompting some of the media to dismiss it as boring - has been the lack of violence. In the run-up to the 1994 election, 10 people were killed each day in KwaZulu-Natal, bombs were exploding and there was endless talk of white right-wing plots.
Dull for the media, perhaps, but the impatience of young South Africans to cast their votes and be part of the democratic process is chastening for observers from Europe or the US.
And at the end of it all, South Africa will set off for a further five years, probably with a strengthened ANC whose politicians will have, briefly, met the people. Mr Mbeki - an intellectual with a big vision of an African Renaissance - will offer a different style from President Mandela's rainbow of hope. But the substance will be similar, just packaged less affably.

Additonally, Burak Sevilengul's quote has been slightly abridged. Complete, corrected release follows: Turkcell (NYSE: TKC , ISE: TCELL) , the leading technology and communication company in Turkey has collaborated with Yandex, the international search engine, to create an internet browser geared towards the youth. The biggest youth club under "gnctrkcll" now offers a dynamic platform that will give access to everything the customers' needs on the internet, much faster and easier with the new gnctrkcll YandexBrowser. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120614/537932-b ) The collaboration, which provides gnctrkcll customers with an internet browser of their own, provides a unique internet setting for the youth group, which spends the most time online. Customers who download YandexBrowser 1.7 are not only provided with a fast and smooth internet experience, thanks to the smart search line and Turbo mode features, but are also greeted with a search engine that can be customized with special background designs. The new browser also provides the ability to access personal settings that on other computers with the installed YandexBrowser from anywhere, at any time. The ability to customize backgrounds with selected pictures and a favorites sites bar, as well as other features, make it obvious that this will be precisely the new practical, secure and fast internet browser that the youth has been waiting for.

Rangers v Hibernian Betting Preview
Ladbrokes Scottish Championship
Date: 28th December 2015
Time: 15:00
Live on BT Sport 1
The pressure is on both Rangers and Hibs after Falkirk closed the gap on both of them to three points.
By the time Tuesday's game has finished they might well have caught one of them or closed the gap on both to a single point. If the Championship title race needed any more shaking up that should really set pulses racing amongst all three sets of fans.
Had you listened to most Scottish football commentators (myself included) just a few short months ago you wouldn't have seen this coming. Rangers were, supposedly, going to run away with the title and Hibs were stick ons for second place.
Most would have happily awarded third to The Bairns but nobody, and I mean nobody, thought they would turn the new year a mere point behind in the title race. That has a real chance of happening now if Rangers and Hibernian share the spoils on Monday.
The betting still reflects the old beliefs with Rangers 1.33 (1/3) favourites to win the title. Falkirk are as high as 33/1 with bet365. Considering Hibs were 20/1 not long ago and are now into 3.5 (5/2) with William Hill there is an argument for backing them at those betting odds.
If The Gers win on Monday and Falkirk beat Livingston on Tuesday it will bring them level on points with Hibernian and above them on goal difference. After that you'll be hard pushed to find the price of 9/1 from bet365 on Falkirk winning the league without Rangers.
Meanwhile for this Rangers v Hibernian betting preview there are two teams who have both seen better form. Rangers have won just three of their last six while Hibs needed injury time in their last two outings at home to earn points. That was preceded by a scrappy 0-1 win at Alloa.
Rangers v Hibernian Betting Preview Betting Odds
The Gers are rightly favourites and many would have ploughed into the 1.83 (5/6) quotes from bet365 and Coral not too long ago. But Hibs have proven themselves as worthy title contenders and now many will be enticed by the 4.4 (17/5) from McBookie on an away win.
This could be a good game for the draw finders and McBookie and Ladbrokes both entice with a price of 3.8 (14/5) on the points being shared. Backing Hibs with Draw No Bet insurance pays at 3.2 (11/5) with McBookie.
Goals are expected and both teams to score is short at a best 1.67 (4/6) with Coral, Ladbrokes and McBookie. Were it not for the inclement weather it's a bet I would be likely to make with +2.5 goals also short at 1.7 (7/10) with McBookie and Coral.
On this occasion I am going to choose to make no bets preferring to enjoy the spectacle.

I'm playing Final Fantasy 7 on PSP and i'm on disc 3 and decided to start chocobo breeding. Everytime i go to try and move the chocbos from the field to the stable,it exits the screen and goes back to the barn. At first i thought it was because of the fact i was using a different control scheme,but i changed it back to the default scheme and even saved and turned the game off and back on and it still doesn't work.
Anyone that knows how to fix this problem that could help me would be greatly appreciated. I sent an email to sony about this and they directed me here,so I'm hoping to get some help. To all that help and take the time to read this thank you for your time and help.

It's impossible to communicate how good FlexGel beds feel without lying on them, which is why we have installed the amazing CSI system at select Forty Winks stores.
Fun and fast, the CSI system uses scientific mapping technology to allow you to physically experience and visually understand the pressure relieving benefits of FlexGel beds. This technology is used worldwide by hospitals and research centres to study the effects of pressure on the body.
The instore CSI system (underneath) shows the incredible support and pressure relieving characteristics of a layer of FlexGel by comparing it with a normal bed.

CSI was designed based on the principle of... Every body is different! This remarkable approach to selecting your next bed. It doesn't select the bed for you. The CSI system allows you to make an intelligent purchasing decision based on your own personal body silhouette. This is real medical science that provides you with live accurate data on how your body reacts to pressure. There's only one computer that can make your final mattress purchasing decision and that is the computer that rests between your ears... Your own brain!
What techonology goes into a FlexGel bed to provide you with the best possible sleeping experience?
FlexGel is a revolutionary cellular material that provides medically proven muscle and joint pressure release allowing better circulation whilst helping your body to relax.
FlexGel beds are made using Outlast®, an adaptive system that manages body heat to ensure the ideal sleeping environment.
Originally developed to protect astronauts against extreme temperature fluctuations in space, the system cleverly absorbs body heat when you're too hot and releases it when you're too cold to maintain an effective comfort zone.

Less overheating - The temperature regulating benefits of the OUTLASTTM fabric developed for NASA combats hot flashes to help provide a more comfortable night's rest.
Every movement on FlexGel products gently distributes air throughout the mattress resisting mattress heat build-up.

The properties of FlexGel itself help reduce the instances of allergens in the air that can irritate and inflame the nasal passages.

Restoring Cedar Chest Aroma
- Details
- Hits: 19227
My wife inherited an old cedar chest from her favorite aunt. It is a beautiful piece of furniture that is estimated to be over 60 years old, and all hand crafted. The only problem with the cedar chest is that it no longer has that wonderful aromatic smell. I looked high and low for products that would some how rejuvenate the wood and bring it back to it' former aroma. I even tried a bit of cedar extra oil on a small part, but not only did it not work, the small amount of good it did only lasted a few days.
I was explaining my problem to a fellow woodworker and our annual summer picnic in the park when one of our "mature" woodworkers overheard our conversation. "Oh, he said, that's simple, if you want to restore the sharp smell of cedar, just give it a light sanding, a 220 grit should be fine". And that was all he said on the topic. I thought about what he had told me all the way home after the picnic. I didn't even wait to unpack the car, I took the old cedar chest into the shop and began gently hand sanding. I was truly amazed at how little work it took to not only nicely re-finish the inside cedar, but restore the smell to what I'm sure must be the original smell of the cedar chest when it was constructed. I really need to thank this gentleman next time I see him for giving me such a simple solution to a baffling question.

Equine infectious anemia
|Equine infectious anemia virus
|File:Equine infectious anemia virus.jpg
|Virus classification
|Group VI (ssRNA-RT)
| Retroviridae
| Lentivirus
| Equine infectious anemia virus
Equine Infectious Anemia or Equine Infectious Anaemia (EIA), also known by horsemen as swamp fever, is a horse disease caused by a retrovirus and transmitted by bloodsucking insects. The virus is endemic in the Americas, parts of Europe, the Middle and Far East, Russia, and South Africa. The virus is a lentivirus, like human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Like HIV, EIA can be transmitted through blood, saliva, milk, and body secretions. Transmission is primarily through biting flies, such as the horse-fly and deer-fly.[1] The virus survives up to 4 hours in the carrier. Contaminated surgical equipment and recycled needles and syringes, and bits[2] can transmit the disease. Mares can transmit the disease to their foals via the placenta. The risk of transmitting the disease is greatest when an infected horse is ill, as the blood levels of the virus are then highest.
Acute: The acute form is a sudden onset of the disease at full-force. Symptoms include high fever, anemia (due to the breakdown of red blood cells), weakness, swelling of the lower abdomen and legs, weak pulse, and irregular heartbeat. The horse may die suddenly.
Subacute: A slower, less severe progression of the disease. Symptoms include recurrent fever, weight loss, an enlarged spleen (felt during a rectal examination), anemia, and swelling of the lower chest, abdominal wall, penile sheath, scrotum, and legs.
Chronic: Horse tires easily and is unsuitable for work. May have a recurrent fever and anemia, may relapse to the subacute or acute form even several years after the original attack.
There are currently no statistics available on mortality of EIA. No statistics are available of horses actually dying of acute forms. See also[3]
A horse may also not appear to have any symptoms, yet still tests positive for EIA antibodies. This horse can still pass on the disease. According to most veterinarians, horses diagnosed EIA positive are usually not showing any sign of sickness or disease.
EIA may cause abortion in pregnant mares. This may occur at any time during the pregnancy if there is a relapse when the virus enters the blood. Most infected mares will abort, however some give birth to healthy foals. Foals are not necessarily infected.
Studies indicate that there are breeds with a tolerance to EIA.[4]
Recent studies in Brazil on living wild horses have shown that about 30% of the horses are chronically infected with EIA yet seem to live a normal life.
Prevention and treatment
A vaccine is available, called "Chinese Live Attenuated EIA vaccine", developed in China and widely used there since 1983. Another attenuated live virus vaccine is in development in the United States.[5]
Reuse of syringes and needles is a risk factor for transfer of the disease. Currently in the United States, all horses that test positive must be reported to federal authorities by the testing laboratory. Options for the horse include sending the horse to a recognized research facility, branding the horse and quarantining it at least 200 yards from other horses for the rest of its life, and euthanizing the horse. Very few quarantine facilities exist which usually leads to the option of euthanizing the horse. EIA-positive horses are infected for life. The horse industry and the veterinary industry strongly suggest that the risks posed by infected horses, even if they are not showing any clinical signs, are enough of a reason to impose such stringent rules. The precise impacts effect of the disease on the horse industry are unknown.
The Coggins test (agar immunodiffusion) is a sensitive diagnostic test for equine infectious anemia developed by Dr. Leroy Coggins in the 1970s.
Currently, the USA does not have an eradication program due to the low rate of incidence, however many states require a negative Coggins test for interstate travel. In addition, most horse shows and events require a negative Coggins test. Most countries require a negative test result before allowing an imported horse into the country.
It is recommended to verify that all the horses at a breeding farm and or boarding facility have a negative Coggins test before using their services. A Coggins test should be done on an annual basis. Tests every 6 months are recommended if there is increased traveling.

Getting Knitty Wit It
Who told you knitting was for octogenarians? Local designer Karelle Levy is throwing that idea on its head by producing unique, colorful pieces that are anything but that sweater your granny gave you for Christmas 88. One look at Levy's hooked-up confections and you won't dare think some bespectacled bitty created it. Now you can learn how to wield a needle like a pro and create some pieces of your own at Levys weekly yarn throwdown, Stitchin Boozin Bitches. You bring the supplies (a starter kit from any craft shop will do), and the rest will fall into place. Well, not exactly you'll need some instruction. But that's half the fun! The other half is the company: a cadre of giggling guys and girls ready to create their next club outfit or potholder. Just promise to make us something that will hold our liquor. Meet up with the other bitches this Monday from 8 p.m. to midnight in the Living Room of the Standard Hotel.

Clean the PCB with alcohol, then placed in the scanner, the scanner needs a little time to raise the number of pixels scanned in order to get a clearer picture, start POHTOSHOP, color screen surface to sweep way, save the file and print out for use.
The third step, water, paper yarn and the TOP LAYER BOTTOM LAYER two minor sanding, grinding to a shiny copper film, into the scanner, start PHOTOSHOP, two color ways were swept into. Note, PCB placed in the scanner must be straight across the tree level, or scanned images will not be able to use and save the file.
The fourth step is to adjust the canvas contrast, brightness, so that part of the copper film and copper film is not part of the contrast and then converted to black and white sub-figure check lines are clear, if not clear, repeat this step. If clear, the survival for the black and white BMP format TOP.BMP and BOT.BMP, If you find a problem with graphics can also be repaired and modified with PHOTOSHOP.
The fifth step, the two were converted to BMP format file format file PROTEL in PROTEL in the redeployment of two, as two of the PAD and VIA over the location of the basic coincidence, that did well the first few steps, if biased, then repeat the third step.
Sixth, the TOP layer of BMP into TOP.PCB, attention should be transformed into the SILK layer, that layer is yellow, and then you line it wants in the TOP layer description, and place the device according to the second step of the drawings. Unfinished after the SILK layer deleted.
The seventh step, the BOT layer of BMP into BOT.PCB, attention should be transformed into the SILK layer, that layer is yellow, and then you line it wants in the BOT layer description. Unfinished after the SILK layer deleted.
The eighth step, will TOP.PCB and BOT.PCB PROTEL transferred, merged into a graph on OK.
The ninth step, a laser printer TOP LAYER, BOTTOM LAYER transparencies were printed to (1:1 ratio), the piece of film into the PCB, the comparison is wrong, and if yes, you"re done .

The interaction between oxygen absorption into liquids and bottom shear-induced turbulence was investigated in a grid-stirred tank using a laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) technique. The LIF technique enabled visualization as well as quantification of planar concentration fields of the dissolved oxygen (DO) near the air-water interface. Qualitative observation of the images provided more insight into the physical mechanism controlling the gas transfer process. The high data resolution is an advantage for revealing the concentration distribution within the boundary layer, which is a few hundreds of a micrometer thick. Mean and turbulent fluctuation characteristics were obtained and compared with previous results.

Spectre 13-H211NR x2
on 7/24/2014
This hybrid ultra book has two minor issues, the "R" key on the keyboard works intermittently. Need to hit couple of times or a little bit harder than other keys. The LED charging status next to the DC plugin port stay amber most of the time when fully charge. It is on the heavy side for an ultra book. I have a 14" laptop which is a bit lighter than this. The built quality is good but prone to finger print.

Our Guaranteed Deployment Program means that our clients are guaranteed to get the project outcomes that we agreed. Please read below for more details or for more information please contact our Account Management Team.
We recognise that many clients have a need to host their sensitive employee data on their own server. This is why PeopleStreme offers the option to host your system in the cloud or on your own internal server.
If you host in the cloud, your sensitive employee data will always reside in a seperate database, just for your organisation. You can also be confident knowing that PeopleStremes data centers are Carrier/Enterprise Grade with high reliability, security and backup systems.
If you choose to host your system in the cloud, your sensitive employee information will be protected so as to ensure the privacy of that information. We will not use your employee information for any purpose other than helping you to get the most from your employees while using our systems.
Project Management
Our Project Management Office (PMO) is responsible
for the definition and maintenance of the project
management processes and standards, while being in
line with the PeopleStreme Design and Configuration
While PeopleStreme PMO utilises all nine Project Management disciplines from the Project Management Body of Knowledge for our project management methodology, some of the key highlights of the PMO are given below:
- Project Planning
Project planning is done at the inception of each project and it is a prime focus area on PeopleStreme Project Management methodology.
- Project Tracking
Tracking progress and on time completion of milestones is done using the project schedules and other proven tracking tools defined by the PeopleStreme PMO.
- Project Monitoring & Control
PeopleStreme PMO uses their own metric framework for project monitoring and control. The metric framework consists of quality indicators to ensure quality of all phases of the project lifecycle.
- Risk Management
Project Risks and Issues Management is another prime focus area on PeopleStreme Project Management Methodology. All risks and issues are identified, categorised, quantified and the risk exposures and status are being tracked through the risk management tool on a periodic basis.
- Project Reporting
Formal reporting mechanisms have been established as part of the Project Management Methodology to ensure all stakeholders are informed about the project progress, risks/issues and action items.
- Change Communication : Many projects
fail because the business does not understand the
Why? of what the project is about. This must be
communicated in proper business language to the
managers who are, ultimately, the custodians of
the project outcomes. In the absence of this communication,
participation rates fall to between 30%-35% because
managers don't understand Why they need to follow
the new process.
- Implementation Services : We
assist organisations in eliminating unnecessary
administration overheads. Most often this means
accessing data which resides on other systems including
payroll or other HRIS systems. Our services include:
- Payroll/HRIS interface to reduce administration
- Data Modelling and Sourcing
- Data Migration Planning - from one source to another
- Report Planning
- Software Customisation – Scope, Costing and Delivery
- Creating job descriptions and aligning them with the organisations objectives and organisations needs
- Competency Modelling and Competency Framework design
- Support Services : Unlike our foreign competitors, PeopleStreme provides an after sales support service which is local and culturally relevant. Bug reporting and design changes are therefore effected with much higher speed, accuracy and courtesy.
- Integration Services : ERP, Payroll and legacy HRIS systems are linked to our systems as part of our project.

Administrator Training and Train the Trainer
In order that you get the most value from our systems, we provide administrator training to help make it as easy as and as cheap as possible for you to support your users. This significantly improves how quickly you can respond to user enquiries, how well users interact with our system and significantly lowers your cost because our systems are so flexible.
Train the Trainer is a program which teaches you how to conduct your own user training. It can have a significant impact on the content of the training as well as making it much more cost effective.
User Training and Online Learning
If you prefer us to do the user training, we have two methods of delivery. First, we can conduct user training in large workshops in two hour sessions. This encourages user feedback and we are able to handle manager and employee concerns on the spot.
Alternately, we can provide online learning, which we co-develop with you, and roll this out using our own or your learning management system. This means users can learn in their own time and it is less disruptive across the business.
We understand that all organisations are unique and that it is this uniqueness which makes them special. This is why we have built our Human Resources Software as a range of modules which our clients can cherry pick to suit their own needs. In addition, we are happy to make changes where the client's own process can be better followed by doing so.

[Booking Kelly for events goes through Brenda Kane at APB]
Some things you wouldn't know about me from my books:
My favorite thing to do is talk to other writers, super-brains like Margaret Atwood, Jason Segel, BJ Novak, Mary Roach and Anne Lamott. I've loved these conversations and will be launching a podcast series with KQED this fall.
I'm working on a novel, a story about... I can't tell you yet. It's way too soon. But it's a great challenge for me and I hope to impress you one day with my versatility as a writer. Or at least not humiliate myself.
I worry constantly, about my husband getting in a car accident or my kids getting snatched by a desperado or a mole on my nose turning out to be the thing that does me in. However, I believe worry is the backside of gratitude, so that means that when I get anxious, I am actually acutely feeling my good fortune. And clinging to it with both hands.
I love live performances of almost any kind, especially music but also lectures and readings and plays. Some favorites: Hamilton, Beck, Patty Griffin and listening to Marilynne Robinson or David Sedaris read anything.
I worked in non-profits for ten years. That decade created my worldview, which goes: people are struggling; make yourself useful. My big project is Notes & Words, which puts musicians and writers on stage together at The Paramount Theater in front of 2,000 donors of Children's Hospital Oakland, where my daughter was treated for Meningitis.
I went to three great schools: Radnor High School, where Dr. Mary Anne Capa showed me what actual scholarship looks like; The University of Richmond, which was a whole lot of fun and introduced me to some of my all-time favorite people; and San Francisco State University (for a Masters in Literature) where I was humbled by 1,000 page-a-week reading assignments and floored that for $600 a semester, I could sit in weekly seminars with professors like Michael Krasny (host of KQED Forum) and Bruce Avery.
As for the family, we are missing Greenie terribly. My mom is still selling Real Estate on the Main Line and keeping the house we grew up in from falling to pieces. My brother George is a big time recruiter, as well as a terribly good golfer and a rock and roll musician, and my other brother, Booker, is a lacrosse announcer for ESPN and has his own sports talk radio show.
Edward runs the business side of Medium, the most beautiful place on the Internet in both mission and appearance. It was founded by one of them Twitter guys, the benevolent Ev Williams, to share stories and ideas. Because the site is awesome, I post frequently.
Lastly, the girls are coming right along. My 14 year-old lives for lacrosse and making sure I'm not embarrassing her on my Instagram account; my 13 year-old is obsessed with Greek Gods and Meghan Trainor and a new curling rod some lady at the mall sold us one afternoon when my guard was down, something my mother finds very funny.

Making Theatre in Northern Ireland: Through and Beyond the Troubles
€ 24,99
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
Juni 2006
BeschreibungMaking Theatre in Northern Ireland examines the relationships between theatre and the turbulent political and social context of Northern Ireland since 1969. It explores in detail key theatrical performances which deal directly with this context. The works examined are used as exemplars of wider approaches to theatre-making about Northern Ireland. The book is aimed at a student readership: it is largely play-text-based, and it contains useful contextualising material such as a chronological list of Northern Ireland's plays in the modern period, a full bibliography, and a brief chronology. Students find it hard to obtain any detailed and informed perspective on this key element of the theatre of Ireland and Britain: Northern Ireland's theatrical traditions are normally discussed only as an adjunct to discussions of Irish theatre more generally, or as so exceptional as to be beyond comparison with others. This book sets out to fill this gap.
InhaltsverzeichnisContents: Introduction; Arguing for a distinctive treatment of Northern Irish theatre, this chapter locates the study's focus on the discussion of performances as events at the nexus of political, social and cultural contexts over thirty years in Northern Ireland; A Direct Engagement; Beyond the cliched 'Troubles play', two distinct formal traditions of representing the conflict are examined through a detailed exploration of Martin Lynch's The Interrogation of Ambrose Fogarty and Vincent Woods's At the Black Pig's Dyke; Authentic History; Here authenticity is examined in the relationship between personal and collective memory and public history with a focus on Brian Friel's The Freedom of the City and JustUs/DubbbelJoint's Binlids; Failed Origins; The focus of this chapter is the staging of missed opportunities of the past in Martin Lynch's Dockers and Stewart Parker's Northern Star at points where the possibilities for a political resolution to the contemporary conflict were again opened up; Myths and Myth making; This chapter explores how theatre makers have invoked three sources of residual mythology to address Northern Ireland's contemporary reality: Christian in Stewart Parker's Pentecost; Greek in Tom Paulin's The Riot Act; and Irish in Big Telly's Diarmuid and Grainne; Women's Troubles; This chapter addresses the intersections between representations of gender and the Troubles focusing on resistant representations in Charabanc's Somewhere Over the Balcony and Derry Frontline's Inside Out; Let the People Speak; In this chapter, the ways in which the theatre has been used to articulate the concerns of specific communities, traditionally disenfranchised from theatrical representation are examined in Charabanc's Now You're Talkin' and Martin Lynch's The Stone Chair; Staging the Peace; The response to the peace process has been an emphasis on the partial and personal: through the use of story-telling performance in Marie Jones's A Night in November, the implication of the audience in Tim Loane's Caught Red-Handed; and the creation of constituency theatre in works by Gary Mitchell such as As the Beast Sleeps; Conclusion; This chapter discusses the issues of perspective and balance in the representation of conflict and the phases in the development of stage representations of the Troubles over the period; Playography; Brief Chronology; Bibliography.

Pressestimmen"'To read Tom Maguire's illuminating, ground-breaking study Making Theatre in Northern Ireland, you begin to understand to what degree Northern Ireland's writers have been hemmed in and corralled by the Troubles [...] It brings the discussion of theatre in Northern Ireland to a new level and will prove indispensable for practitioners, students and the public from now on.' (Irish Theatre, Autumn 2007) 'This book gives a sense of the lived experience of the troubles as depicted in a very broad range of dramatic productions where the effects of political strife are performed by characters [...] Tom Maguire, in short, is a class act!'

Tropes appearing in Rally Round the Flag, Boys! include:
- All Part of the Show: The reenactment of a Revolutionary War battle ends with the Greaser Delinquents turning a battle between the Minutemen and the Redcoats (played by members of the U.S. Army) into an all-out brawl. The audience's first reaction is to applaud how realistic the acting is.
- Bratty Teenage Daughter: Comfort Goodpasture, a curvaceous sixteen-year-old who cares infinitely more about Elvis Presley than her schoolwork. Her Totally Radical speech and her Sexy Walk drive her conservative-minded single father up a wall.
- Defrosting Ice Queen: Comfort Goodpasture, known as "The Iron Maiden" around school until she gets tired of saying no.
- Famous-Named Foreigner: Guido di Maggio doesn't really like to play baseball, but he always has to because, as someone says to him, "Whoever heard of anybody named di Maggio who didn't feel like playing ball?"
- Finger Gun: When the School Play is being rehearsed without props, the Minutemen are forced to mow down the Redcoats by pointing their index fingers at them and saying "bang, bang, bang."
- He-Man Woman Hater: Oscar Hoffa blames women for reducing male life expectancy."They've turned the goddam country into a goddam matriarchy. All they need from a man is money and stud. You take the average slob on this train. What's his day like? He crawls out of bed at six a.m., goes to New York and works his tail off all day, comes stumbling home at seven o'clock, more dead than alive, and then his wife tells him he's going to have to work a little harder because she's decided to put a new wing on the house. No wonder the poor bastards drop dead at forty!"
- Henpecked Husband: Harry Bannerman, a tired businessman who tries to achieve inebriation on the 5:29 train home because he knows what awaits him there. Not that he doesn't regret providing his wife with a nice house in Suburbia and three too-perfect sons (though all of these were really her plans, requiring no more than absent-minded consent from him), but he is rather more interested in sex, even after ten years of marriage, than the community issues she considers more important to married life.
- List of Transgressions: Opie Dalmrymple, for his part in provoking the Fourth of July melee, is threatened with court-martial for violations of "several Articles of War, several local ordinances of Putnam's Landing, and possibly the Kellogg-Briand Pact."
- Misspelling Out Loud: Comfort Goodpasture, after meeting Opie, responds to one of Grady's come-ons: "No. N-O-E. No."
- Reassigned to Antarctica: The story begins with Guido di Maggio facing reassignment to Alaska, which he manages to avoid at the last moment by offering to conduct a public relations campaign for a Nike missile installation in Putnam's Landing, where he was born and raised and his fiancée is currently living. The civilian-hating Captain Walker Hoxie, however, is revolted at his being assigned to take command of said installation. The public relations campaign ends in disaster, and Guido ends up sent to Alaska anyway.
- Sexy Walk: Comfort Goodpasture, to her father's distress, learns to walk like Marilyn Monroe even before she becomes interested in boys.
- Slip into Something More Comfortable: Subverted: Angela tells Harry to wait while she goes upstairs to "slip into something more comfortable," and Harry has seen enough movies that he expects her to come on and seduce him in see-through lingerie, and prepares the scene accordingly. He is disappointed when she returns wearing velvet pants and a silk blouse, both quite opaque. She explains that she didn't "do the kimono bit" because she didn't see him as the "Wham, bam, thank you, ma'am" type.
- Tempting Fate: The chapter where Guido di Maggio gets his first impression of Walter Hoxie ends:"Boy," he said to himself, "there is one guy I am never going to get mixed up with!"
Somebody Up There chuckled.
- Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: Laura Beauchamp is taller and far more energetic than her husband Willard.
- Totally Radical: Comfort Goodpasture speaks in what is described as "an execrable mishmash of teen-age patois." The narration sometimes imitates her habit of affixing "-sville" to adjectives and buzzwords.
- "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: The epilogue tells what happened to the characters after the Fourth of July. It mostly ties up loose ends, particularly Harry and Grace's Second-Act Breakup.

ALEX FERGUSON is convinced Manchester United have the firepower to rack up 100
Premier League goals this season.
The closest Fergie has ever got was back in 1999-2000 with 97 strikes en route
to winning the title by an incredible 18 points from Arsenal.
But this season they have 13 different scorers already in the Prem with Robin
van Persie leading the way with 11 in 14 in all competitions.
His eight from eight starts in the league has helped United be leading scorers
on 26 from 10 games.
Fergie insists they can IMPROVE on this rate to reach three figures.
He said: "The satisfying thing for me is the goals are coming from around the
team. To have 13 different scorers is quite healthy.
"It's getting ridiculous now as Evans and Evra have scored two and they have
doubled their tally in their careers. But we'll take them from anyone."
In 2000, Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole hit 20 and 19 respectively with Ole Gunnar
Solskjaer on 12 and Paul Scholes on nine.
United needed four on the final day at Villa Park to reach the 100 but won
Chelsea remain the only side to have reached that milestone in the Premier
League era with 103 in the 2010 title win under Carlo Ancelotti.
While Van Persie has been on fire in front of goal, Wayne Rooney is still to
get going.
He and Javier Hernandez have a couple each in the Prem.
But the Mexican striker has six in all after completing the incredible midweek
fightback in Braga, scoring the last goal in a 3-1 win.
Ferguson said: "Chicharito's getting back to what he was a couple of years
back and a summer's rest has helped him enormously.
"He's looking fresh and aggressive with his running, always a handful.
"Wazza will get there too, he will get to 20 goals this season, I'm sure of
that, once he gets into his stride.
"Last year we lost the title on goal difference and I don't expect us to lose
on goal difference again and Robin may make that difference."
Rooney's third goal of the season came on Wednesday in Braga from the penalty
That was after missing his fourth spot-kick this year against Arsenal the
previous weekend.
Ferguson said: "I told you that I am taking the next one if he misses.
"Wayne has to accept he has to have a better strike-rate with his penalties.
His penalty the other night, even though he slipped, was well struck and it
hit the target. He has to accept that he has to produce better, but he is
"The one thing about Rooney is that it wouldn't matter if it was a World Cup
final or a Rumbelows Cup first round against an amateur team, he would still
want to score.
"His temperament is that, if he misses, it won't affect him and that is
important for a penalty taker.
"That can be an issue with lots of players who take penalties. If they miss
it, how they handle it can be a problem, but Wayne is good that way. He has
the right temperament."
United travel to Aston Villa for the early evening kick-off today.
Victory at what has been a happy hunting ground against Villa and in FA Cup
semi-finals will keep United riding high at the top of the table.
Ferguson said: "It's always a good atmosphere at Villa Park. The support is
always fantastic and hopefully we can keep the momentum going."

Fran, I can identify with the loss you must feel after having your horse put
down. It's always so hard when we must let go of beloved animal companions,
even though we know it is necessary. My granddaughters always reassure me
my pets are healthy again after having crossed the rainbow bridge.
As to allergies, I take Sudaphed occasionally in the spring and fall of the
year, and, like Jesse, I drink a lot of water. I also use saline nose spray.
Good luck with your asthma.

- Net loans grew 8% during the quarter and 27.6% compared to 3Q10. This growth is in line with the current environment of solid credit demand in Colombia.
- Net interest income increased 2% during the quarter and 15.4% compared to 3Q10. These increases are the result of loan growth coupled with a funding strategy that allowed the Bank to maintain a moderate cost of deposits during the quarter as a measure to defend the net interest margin, which ended the period at 6%
- Loan portfolio quality continues showing a good trend. Loan deterioration during 3Q11 was COP 184 billion, and past due loans as a percentage of total loans were 2.5%. Net provision charges for past due loans and foreclosed assets totaled COP 87 billion for the quarter, and represented 0.7% of gross loans.
- The balance sheet remains strong. Loan loss reserves represented 4.6% of total loans and 184% of past due loans at the end of 3Q11. The capital adequacy ratio ended the quarter at 13% (Tier 1 of 9.3%).
- Profitability. ROE for 3Q11 was 20.6%, and annualized ROE for the first 9 months of the year was 19.2%, which represents an increase from the 18.9% reported for the same period in 2010.
