As for John I've always been a fan and wondered if he could pull an Ozzie Newsome go from HOF player to exec. Pretty sure that question has been answered.
So far so good on player picks. A few duds but we all know that the draft is a crap shoot. But for the most part he is loving by the credo that you build a team via the draft.
My hat is off to him.
I have been in the car alot on Thursday and AM670 (could have been AM1000) "The Score" had Mike Klis on and they talked about McCoy for a while and then the talk shifted to to mCd trying to run Cutler out of Denver. Not sure if I remember hearing that it went down the way Klis said it did but mCd was so in love with the trade for Cassell that he had a 3 way trade going with Tampa Bay shipping Cutler out to FL.
Sounds like mCd wanted to bring in his guy that he knows what he is going to get out of and then dump Cuter for some picks (that he ended up wasting later), mCd got what he wanted and ended up being forced to reach on a guy like Tebow, he moves back up to draft Timmy then would not start him at all in his last few weeks with Denver.
mCd was totally unprepared for the NFL level and the win now mentality. So glad we have a HC and OC who know what their players do well and get them in positions to succeed, where as mCd threw the ball on a LT screen to a Left Tackle. inside the redzone.

Judge determines evidence sufficient to hold Smith for trial
Cristin Smith was in court for preliminary hearing Wednesday
INDIO, Calif. - Cristin Smith, one of two men charged with three counts of murder in a case from 2006. For the first time, a judge allowed cameras to shoot video of Smith as he sat in court for his preliminary hearing. The 25-year-old Army ranger was clean shaven, and wore a suit at his attorney's request. Smith and Robert Pape were arrested in connection to the deaths of 18-year old Rebecca Friedli, her mother Vickie Friedli, 53, and her mother's boyfriend, 55-year-old Jon Hayward, who were killed at their Pinyon Pines home in September of 2006. "It was the body of a young girl," said Jerry Osterloh, a deputy from the Riverside County Sheriff's department. " She was lying in the wheel barrow, with her body in its entirety of the wheelbarrow, except her legs were hanging over the edge of the wheel barrow."
Deputy District Attorney Michael Carney focused his case on what happened the night of September 17, 2006 when the murders occurred. Carney called 6 witnesses, including 5 deputies and investigators from the Riverside County Sheriff's Department and one from the FBI, answering questions about evidence allegedly linking Smith and the other suspect, Robert Pape to the crime, including their cell phone activity the night of the crime. "In no time prior did I, in any of those records did I see a concurrently dark period of times, as you stated it."
The witnesses also discussed evidence concerning a possible match of Smith's DNA at the scene as well as guns and shoes that were confiscated at his house, possibly matching evidence from the Pinyon Pines home. It was enough for a judge to order Smith the stand trial. His attorney John Patrick Dolan disagrees, calling the evidence "woefully lacking." Smith's father sat in the courtroom as well as Becky Friedli's father and step mother. "I just want to see justice, like I said before, I don't want to see this crime happen to someone else again, and that's my biggest fear," said Friedli.
Smith's father told us afterwards, he's extremely upset about the judge's decision. Meanwhile, Friedli told us he's confident the right men are getting prosecuted and believes the trial will show it. "I'm hoping time will tell," said Friedli. "I'm positive it's a step in the right direction."
Smith pleaded not guilty to all charges on March, 12. He was 17 at the time of the crimes. If convicted, he could face life in prison. He will return to court on April 9 for his arraignment.
Pape's arraignment hearing is scheduled for April, 16. He was 18 when the crimes were committed and could face the death penalty if he's found guilty.

Desktop Amps item created by Currawong, Jan 10, 2014
Pros - driving very well some headphones.
Cons - wont match to many headphones.
i have checked this amp with 4 headphones: AKG Q701,sony MA900,soundmagic HP100, Hier Audio 4.AI.
from this 4 headphones only the akg q701 sounded good with the amp1...
and that is a surprising thing becuse i have cheked the q701 with alout of amps (like the ibasso pb1, pimeta v1, little dot mkIII, AMB M3)
and non of theme really drives the q701 good, In fact they made the q701 sounds flat\dry\thin mids\too big soundstage\not natural
and becuse of that many poeple say that the Q701 sounds bad...
but at the first time i heard amp that doing to the q701 somthing that i didnt heard before,
it made the q701 sound like it should be, many poeple say that the only upgrade from q701 is HD800 and now i can say that i agree with theme
so the only thing that bad in this amp is that this amp wont match to many headphones
but whene this amp matches to ather headphones it makes theme sound really good
so in my opinion, if you have Q701 or K701\2 and you are looking for an amp
i think that the amp1 is the best choise you have in this price range.
Updating: heard the HD600 and the HD650 with the amp1... and to my opinion, the amp1 driving really good the HD600\650 (not only for amps in this price range)
by the way
i have the upgraded amp1: http://rwaudio.com/store/#!/~/product/category=173875&id=416522

That's precisely what happened to many people who recently bought the original iPad, which was replaced this week by a sleeker, faster model. To ease the pain of investing in dated tech, Apple will offer cash back to anyone that purchased a first-generation iPad between February 16 and March 1, the day before Apple unveiled the iPad 2.
US customers will receive $100 while folks overseas will get £100 or 100 -- and that's cold, hard cash, not store credit. To receive compensation, swing by an Apple Store location with your receipt or call the company's customer service (1-800-676-2775) if you purchased your iPad online. The iPad 2, will launch March 11 with a starting price of $499.

We had a beautiful stay with our whole family including our grandparents and dogs, wonderful walks around and fresh crabs from Church Bay. The cottage is perfect decorated - with a great sense for colors and furnitures.
Amazing cottage beautiful location everything catered for loved every minute can't wait to go back
An absolutely wonderful week was had by all, especially the dogs . The amazing Indian Summer weather made this holiday an unforgettable one, especially as we were able to swim in the bay every day. The cottage was lovely, comfortable and warm.. The upstairs bedroom area a very special place with wonderful views, children would love it, especially the fun of climbing the steep ship's stairway. Power showers were an added bonus. We will be returning!

We chose Cable Cottage because of it's beachside location - it's on the edge of a small bay (Cable Bay!) - and it didn't disappoint. It was lovely being able to hear the sea from the cottage and the glorious views changed each day.
The cottage was comfortable and well appointed, having the facilities and equipment required for a 'home from home' stay.
A couple of problems discovered on arrival were quickly resolved by the property services team.
I would definitely recommend this property.
Great location and accommodation. Totally idyllic and relaxing..........................................................................................

how do we get our maltese to quit peeing in the house
our maltese knows to go "boo boo" outside, but continues to mark everywhere in the house

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
make sure you are cleaning the spots where he peed very thoroughly with the proper cleaner, if his scent is anywhere in the house he will keep going not even thinking he is doing anything wrong because his scent is still there. A cleaner with enzyme I believe. Good Luck!
Lexus answered on 1/6/13. Helpful? / 0
Yep, enzymatic cleaner like nature's miracle. Use a black light to make sure you get it all! Any peeing, marking or otherwise, needs to be done outside. Retrain your pup with praise and treats when they go outside. Then the pup will learn it is much more rewarding. Tether the pup to you or when you are not watching them, crate them. Silently clean up any accidents with the enzymatic cleaner unless you catch them in the act, in which case startle them in the middle of the stream with something like "OUTSIDE!", pick them up and RUN outside to put them on the acceptable area to finish. Consistency is the key along with praise and TREATS for doing it outside!
Obi answered on 1/6/13. Helpful? / 0
I belive your dog is a male, if so he is marking territory the best way to stop this behavior is to spay him. I have a male maltese too and he started marking he was spayed and now has stopped

Hey guys, new member here. Just bought a new "Impreza," not sure if you guys have heard of them, but they're kinda like a WRX. The dealership says it has the "STi" kit on it, which means it comes with cool rims and a bigger boost controller apparently
I got her because I really like the straight line speed and drag racing, and I read on another forum that AWD is the best for that. Does anyone know the best way to get to 400whp? I'm thinking of getting a chip and a catback to start. Any help is appreciated!
I figured I'd post some pics since I took the time to wash her and do some RainX on the windows. Click the link to see more. Hope you guys enjoy, looking forward to seeing what this club is all about!

Lectures on Geodesics in Riemannian Geometry
by M. Berger
Publisher: Tata Institute of Fundamental Research 1965
Number of pages: 317
The main topic of these notes is geodesics. Our aim is 1) to give a fairly complete treatment of the foundations of Riemannian geometry through the tangent bundle and the geodesic flow on it and 2) to give global results for Riemannian manifolds which are subject to geometric conditions of various types; these conditions involve essentially geodesics.

One of our young adults, Sierra Issigonis Grant, is doing Discipleship Training School with Youth With A Mission in Germany. We asked her for an update as they head out on missions. You can catch up also on her blog here:
1. I have been in Germany for 2 and half months now, doing a discipleship training school with YWAM. In this school we learn to delve into a deeper personal relationship with Christ and what it means to walk it out. For the past months we have had teachings everyday on different topics to help us in our walk. For the several weeks we have had lectures on hearing God's voice, Father heart of God, sin, redemption and the cross one week, spiritual ware fare, growing foundations.
Now, the last three weeks before outreach were on Holy Spirit, evangelism, and love of God. So, we have been really been prepped and encouraged to move forward in our relationships with God and to serve people. As well, photography/art track, worship, prayer intercession time, work duties, and bible reading every week occupy our time. The photography track is something I love talking about, I have been taught how to develop my own film and enlarge my negatives to make prints of my pictures! We have had an assignment each week, and sometimes we spend hours in the dark room developing and enlarging to finish assignments and put our pictures together in a presentable fashion for art critique nights.
2. God has been teaching me so much, through this process, many times you hear something over and over again, but don't fully grasp the full meaning of it till it hits you. This is like my time here, its always been stressed in the Christian churches I have been involved with, to have relationship with God, over and over and over. I think that only here though has it really sunk in, I have learned so many things here, but that is the biggest thing I have learned so far. I didn't fully realize it, but my Christian walk, before I came here was a little bit more like, God fill me up, Oh God fill me up. I really only wanted to get to know Him as much as He filled me up, to get to know His goodness in part so I could ride a spiritual high till I got dry again.
This is a constant battle, but I realized I truly want a relationship with God just recently. I was going through a phase here where, I couldn't feel God, usually I would take a walk in nature or read my bible and ahhh spiritual high, but I felt nothing. Then I had a conversation with someone at the base here, who was a non-christian whom confused me, he asked me why do you believe in God, immediately I ruffled through the standard Christian, logical answer. It didn't hit me till after I talked to him, that I had no peace and felt off, I began to wonder why do I believe in God? Your mind is the most powerful tool, the answer I gave the boy came from a place of my brain trying to solve God, trying to prove God, and it messed me up. I didn't feel God, and I didn't know what to do, so I read my bible! I read through so much of the scriptures, searching for an answer. I read through Hebrews and it really spoke to me, Hebrews 11:1-3 " Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the people of old received their commendation. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible." Wow, God was trying to reach out to me and just have relationship with me, to spend time with me. He didn't want me to hang out with Him just so I had good feelings, but to trust Him and cling to his every word and every minute enjoy to be with Him. Its so amazing that God, just wants to hang out with us, we will fail, we will disappoint, but He is so interested in us, not what we do, just us!
3. So, what's next for the group is outreach! We are all heading to Ethiopia for outreach, for three months, its going to be crazy! We will for sure be in Addis for half the time, and possibly Uganda, and Kenya for the rest of the time. We will have to learn to work together as a team all 17 of us, serve the people around us, and meet all the challenges God gives. I have no idea, what is going to happen, but I am so excited to see what God has in store!
4. I will be coming home on July 23rd, wahoo! I am missing the mountains really badly, and the people at the church, all my friends and family, love you guys!
We encourage you to drop a note of encouragement to Sierra below:

Central Park Turns Into Campground For a Night
Each summer, a thousand people – chosen by lottery – get a chance to sleep in city parks as part of the family camping program run by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation.
"It's a break from our concrete city," said park ranger Sunny Corrao. "You'll find a little hidden mystery that you didn't know was here."
For many, that mystery is the wildlife that peeks out from the chestnut, cypress, and pin oak branches at dusk.
Little brown bats, red-tailed hawks, screech owls, and raccoons are just some of the fauna campers see on night hikes that take them from Belvedere Castle – with its skyline views – through the woodland known as the Ramble.
"We've seen the crawdads coming out of the water in the moonlight," Corrao said. "They're bright red as the moon shines on them and you forget that you're in Central Park for a moment."
Last Friday, that moment came when a parcel of Central Park turned into a little piece of the Catskills as 30 camping enthusiasts and several park rangers pitched a line of green 4-person tents a few hundred feet from Fifth Avenue.
Many in the group were Upper Westsiders and Brooklynites camping for the first time.
"We have the worst tent ever! We have never built a tent before!" said eleven-year-old Shirley Wu as she fumbled with a long, flexible tent pole.
Others were camping veterans. Eleven-year-old Elizabeth Cloutier and her father Paul Shatraw often camp in the Poconos near Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania and in Harriman State Park in Rockland County.
They stocked their backpacks with pyjamas, sleeping bags, blow-up sleeping pads, Mad Libs, and a study guide for American Sign Language, which they were learning together for fun.
Shatraw lives in Bloomfield, New Jersey. His daughter lives in Fort Greene, Brooklyn.
"We only see each other on weekends, so this is our only time to do this together," said Shatraw.
A 24-hour lottery will be held August 10 for camping in Prospect Park in Brooklyn, Inwood Hill Park in upper Manhattan, and Wolfe's Pond Park on Staten Island the night of August 19.
The final nights of the city's Family Camping program this year are August 26 and 27.
However, the National Parks Service also allows camping at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn.

London is on the brink of an unprecedented school crisis with 118,000 children facing being left without a place, shock figures reveal today.
Urgent action is needed to tackle the shortfall which could reach "chronic" levels in three years. London Councils, which represents all local authorities in the capital, asked the Government for more than £1 billion to build new schools.
Peter John, head of children's services at London Councils, said: "Boroughs are working harder than ever to ensure every child has a school place. But we are fast reaching the limit of how many extensions and conversions can be made to existing buildings — soon the only way of creating extra places will be by building new schools."
The number of school age children in London is increasing at twice the rate of the national average and will reach 1.25 million by 2016, leaving a shortfall of 118,000 school places, according to today's report by London Councils.
A baby boom combined with the economic downturn has added to the pressure, as families who would otherwise have moved out of the city decide to stay. An improvement in school results in London also means more parents are choosing to send their children to school in the capital.
The increased demand means London needs 42 per cent of all the new school places in the country. Yvette Stanley, chair of the Association of London Directors of Children's Services, said: "We should be under no illusion about the scale of the task before us. The long-term population data is clear — fair and flexible resources need to be made available now if our children are to be able to go to school."
Boris Johnson accepted there is a need for more government funding, but said councils must allow more free schools to be built.
He said: "There's a lot of prejudice against free schools on the part of the education establishment and they need to lose it and need to build more.
"There's a huge demographic crisis looming in London and we need to fund the schools. At the moment we're worried there's some kind of ideological foot dragging about free schools. They've got to blast ahead and make space."
London Councils argues that the large number of academies in London is adding to the problem because they are under no obligation to expand. There are 229 academies in the capital — more than half of all secondary schools. The report said that even though the capital has received more than £500 million to fund new school places, it still needs £1.04 billion to meet demand.
It said London has only been allocated 36 per cent of the available funding for 2013/14 to 2014/15, despite having 42 per cent of the total shortfall in places, and that councils need to know much further in advance how much money they will receive so they can plan better.
A Department for Education spokeswoman said: "More than £1 billion extra has been spent on school places in London in the last year alone.
"This is on top of the £1.6 billion already available to help councils create places where they are most needed, and will cover the full cost of any project — whether that is a new build or an expansion. By September, we expect 190,000 extra places will have been created across England, with many more still to come."Reuse content

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
Welcome to Just Answer.
Sorry to hear about your problem.
The F70 error apparently is a design flaw that happens to many of these machines in this series (HE3t, HE5t). It has something to do with a failure of the components to communicate with each other. The main circuit board most likely needs to be replaced. If this is still under warranty or you have the extended warranty, take advantage of it.
If you need further help or clarification on this answer, please do not hesitate to reply to this post.
Thanks for asking your question at Just Answer.
Best of Luck, Brian

I seriously doubt the holster will fit for anything designed to fit a P220 unless it's the brand new P220 Compact, which seems to be an exact copy of the P245 to the extent of magazine interchangeability. But the holster has to be OT because of the beaver tail on the new 220 compact, a thumb break won't fit.

I just picked up a Charter 357 mag pug as my ccw. Doing a google search I ran upon this site. Looks like my kind of place, nice site you have here. I know there is a 50/50 opinion of the Charter brand, but I wanted a gun that fit my hand well and "seemed" rugged. This one fit the bill and was the right price. I didn't want a top of the line, I wanted something I could not worry about using as self defense even if out of rounds.

Mayhem # 2761521
About MeHello,
I am Carmina Rayelle, an exotic Asian fashion and glamor model based in Hong Kong.
I'm extremely versatile and able to model clothes from street to high fashion. I adore modeling, and I love being involved in the creative process with professional photographers with whom I feel comfortable. I'm easy going and fun, but am prepared to work extremely hard and bring a professional edge to my posing.
For the past year I have been working with a photographer in Hong Kong, where I live, on a TFP basis, but now I want to venture out on paid assignments. I am interested in fashion, glamor, bikini and swimwear, lingerie and boudoir assignments and really enjoy projecting a sexy glamorous image. However, at this time I am not prepared to shoot nude. Likewise I am not interested in alternative and bondage.
If you are not in Hong Kong, you will have to travel in at your own expense and pay me. My rates are reasonable, and you will not regret working with me. I am not accepting TFP/TFCD arrangements at this time. A female escort accompanies me to shoots.
I am on MM for professional modeling only, as a career choice to which I am dedicated. I have no plan B and am confident my exotic looks and professional approach will bring success for me and those with whom I work. If you are a GWC or looking for a date - forget it!!
Hope to make contact soon! Message me!!
Love, Carmina

The accelerated rate of change that typifies today's society has resulted in educational systems and educators being confronted with the challenges of educating students for a world characterised by social mobility, globalisation and technological challenge: a world in which students have to assimilate, assess and integrate more information from diverse sources within increasingly short periods of time. This paper discusses the unique characteristics of Gardner's Intrapersonal intelligence domain and assesses its potential in comparison to some other "self" theories commonly found in educational theory and practice. It then argues that the concept of the executive function of intrapersonal intelligence provides a relatively unexplored notion of self that has the potential to empower all those engaged in educational pursuits, irrespective of their diversity. As executive function brings together and interpolates the commonly identified characteristics of successful learners, it is argued that one of the most inclusive ways in which educators can improve student outcomes, build knowledge, skills and strategies that promote personal achievement and prepare young people for the complexity of their world, can be found by exploring this specific aspect of the renowned Multiple Intelligences (MI) paradigm and ways in which it may be enhanced.

Tiger Tank...official start (now with shrimp)
Tank is painted...
The filter has been constructed...
Canister is waiting...
Lava rock is seeding...
And substrate is ready...
My RO/DI is up and running and I ran some tests on my water supply. Out of the tap I am getting:
pH 7.6
GH 6 or 7
Out of the RO/DI:
pH 6.5
Both KH and GH took one drop to change color (API test kit) so that figures in to be around 0 for the actual values.
So now let me just check to make sure this is correct. I have Kent's RO Right. I take my RO water, add RO Right until I get back to a GH of 4-5. That's it? KH and TDS will just fall into line? Then after that, I can use my TDS to know what my clean water reading is and use that for future mixing of RO water for WC's or other tank fills?
No, you add RO right until your _GH_ is 4-5, KH should stay 0
BTW, sweet UGF :P
Yeah...I miss typed the KH/GH and got them flip flopped.
Yeah, I thought that filter was pretty sweet too. Props to the developer :wink:
You gonna lay some old sea mud down under the akadama? I think that's important when using akadama
hmmm...why's that? What does it do? Where can I get some? Is it a fish tank sort of supplement or something I can find at the local healthy living shop?
You can use montmorillonite clay in a crunch.
Akadama literally strips minerals out of the water. I believe that when using old sea mud under the substrate minimizes this stripping of minerals, or at least controls it to a point.
Ah...I see. So will the Akadama become saturated at some point and stop stripping stuff from the water or will this be a constant concern? I see that Mosura has old sea mud. Price doesn't seem too out of line unless I need a bottle a month or something. Says it will last 6m under the substrate then dose to the water column.
Correct, it lasts about 6 months under the substrate. After which point it'll decrease it's effectiveness.
A bottle a year is more like it. The stuff is cheap, and as an under layer beneath your substrate it can help curb the stripping effect of akadama and other active soils.
I've been using Akadama without any noticeable mineral stripping for over 2 months now. Though I did notice that it took over a month to cycle the damn tank due to nitrate creep. I was still able to keep livestock in the tanks after the first week, just had to keep doing 20% WCs every week, remineralized back up with MMP every time. Maybe that was the reason why I wasn't noticing any GH fluctuations.
Did you paint the sides? If so Why?
Painted the sides, yes. I do that to my tanks because it helps make the shrimp/fish/plants pop against the background, it gives the occupants more security, and it hides stuff from view such as wires and filter tubes.
great looking start you have going there
Nice!!! :D
One day I'll have a dedicated shrimp tank.
So far so good!! I want another tank!!!

PARIS – French linguistic purists voiced online anger Thursday at the loss of one of their favorite accents — the pointy little "circumflex" hat that sits on top of certain vowels such as the "o" in "cote."
A change in the spelling of some 2,000 French words will come into effect in new primary school textbooks being released for the start of the school year in September, the education ministry and publishers announced.
The circumflex accent will become optional for many words, as will other spelling changes which have purists rubbing their eyes — much like the effect of peeling an onion, which can now be spelled "ognon" as well as the traditional "oignon."
However the changes, which has caused uproar on French Twitter, were first approved by the prestigious guardians of the French language, the Academie Francaise, in 1990.
Since then both versions have been accepted, but the new spellings only began appearing in official documents in the past few years.
And the 2015 official "bulletin on new school teaching curricula" refers to the 1990 changes as the gold standard for teaching spelling.
"What is new is a more explicit reference" to the reformed spelling in official material, said Sylvie Marce of the textbook publisher Belin. Some publishers had already made the changes.
The changes were made to fix spelling anomalies and inconsistencies, according to a website devoted to the recommended spelling, www.orthographe-recommandee.info.
It adds hyphens, takes them away, tweaks spellings and removes the circumflex from the 'i' and the 'u' where the accent makes no change to accent or meaning.
The circumflex is "one of the main causes of errors and its usage is random," said the website.
But many are not convinced.
"I will continue to use the circumflex, and to judge those who don't," wrote one Twitter user.
The hashtag #JeSuisCircumflex (I am circumflex), a nod to the Je Suis Charlie phrase which swept social media after a jihadi attack in January last year, went viral in France.
In other changes, "week-end," becomes "weekend" as in English, but the word "leader" takes on a more French spelling of "leadeur" in the recommended spelling.
"This has been the official spelling in the Republic for 25 years. What is surprising is that we are surprised," said Michel Lussault, president of the school curriculum board.
"There were strange spelling anomalies linked to historic shifts so the Academie really made sure these changes were understandable," he said.
It was not an upheaval, he added, more a "clean-up."
When making the new spelling recommendations in 1990, the then "perpetual secretary" of the Academie Francais Maurice Druon wrote that "language is a living thing," adding: "Work should begin again in 30 years, if not earlier."

Pergola Unsupported Length
Hi All,
I am in the design phase for a Pergola I am going to construct and want to know if my unsupported length is too long. I am currently planning on a freestanding structure 14'4" x 5'10" with 6"X6" posts at the corners. The girders and rafters will be 2"X6" layed in a grid pattern, evenly spaced. All construction is with Cedar. Is the 14'4" too long of an unsupported length for the dead weight of the pergola? Should I plan on putting another 6"X6" post in the middle. I am not planning on this bearing any load besides the weight of the structure itself.
Thanks in advance.
bump :)
For 14+ feet a 2x8 would be too small. Double 2x10's, one on either side of the 6x6 along the 14 feet. I would also put spacers every 3 feet or so to unitize the 2x10's. The 2x6's on top spanning the 5'10".

There have been many studies showing women's disproportionately low participation in entrepreneurship and their poor access to capital and networks, but a report published this week is the first to give a comprehensive picture of the state of female entrepreneurship worldwide.
The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) 2010 Women's Report shows that women are less likely to be entrepreneurs than men, and that when women do take the plunge into entrepreneurship they are more likely to be motivated by necessity than opportunity. The survey is based on interviews with more than 90,000 women in 59 economies around the world.
Donna J. Kelley, co-author of the report and professor of entrepreneurship at Babson College in Massachusetts, says:
"The informal sector can be 80 per cent or more of the entrepreneurship activity in a country."
The report found that in 2010, 104m women were engaged in starting new ventures while a further 83m were running sustainable businesses that they had started more than three-and-half years earlier. A total 187m women were found to be economically active in their own businesses.
Kelley says:
"In less-developed economies women have high participation rates compared with men, but the picture really changes in both efficiency-driven and innovation-driven economies."
In fact the only country to boast more female than male entrepreneurs is Ghana where women comprise 55 per cent of entrepreneurs.
In Latin America, the gender gap is quite small, while in Korea, Japan, Norway and Iran as few as one in five entrepreneurs will be a woman. Kelley says:
"These differences may be cultural or dependent on childcare provision, for example. They are also societal. You need acceptance to work with a woman and to buy from her, if her business is going to flourish."
Women are much less confident of their abilities to start and run a business than men, the report shows. Only 47.7 per cent of women believe they have the capabilities to run a business while 62.1 per cent of men have confidence in their own business skills.
"This lack of confidence may limit your growth expectations," says Kelley, who points out that twice as many men as women expect to add 20 or more employees to their companies.
Women are also hampered by a lack of role models and mentors, says Kelley. "Women are less likely to have networks that extend beyond family and less likely to know another entrepreneur. Programmes that train women to develop business skills, enhance their networks, and especially collaborations with other women, making their achievements more visible are all likely to increase women's participation in entrepreneurship."

The Budgeting Calculator
It may be tempting to spend your student funding straight away, but remember each payment has to last a whole term and it's important to work out, and stick to, a budget. Students from Scotland receiving funding from the Student Awards Agency for Scotland will be paid monthly, but you'll still need to budget carefully to get through term time and holiday periods. Plan ahead to make sure your course fees and living costs are covered and don't forget you can have a separate loan to cover your tuition fees. If you're from Wales there may be some grants to help with fees as well. Think about how long your student funding has to last you, and what your rent and other expenses are, such as utilities or phone bills and transport costs, so you know what money you have left. You may also want to think about protecting what's valuable to you while you are a student by ensuring you have the appropriate insurance.

An Associated Press release said thursday that IL. Gov. Pat Quinn said he has no problem with IL. being the only state where it is illegal to carry a concealed weapon.
Quinn stood by his opposition to letting residents carry concealed guns--just days after lawmakers in neighboring Wisconsin passed a law to lift that state's ban.
Quinn maintains most IL. residents don't approve of concealed weapons. He said public safety must come first. Quinn feels that in too many places in IL. there's a violence epidemic and he believes allowing citizen's to arm themselves would only add to the problem.
Wow! If ever there was an egotistical, self-delusional, uninformed idiot, Pat Quinn takes the cake. He actually believes that he is right and the rest of the country is wrong about concealed carry laws. How would he even know that most IL. residents don't approve of concealed weapons. The only people he talks to are other IL. thugs and political "yes" men with an occasional Chicago hoodlum who, of course are against concealed carry by honest citizen's. They don't want the competition. They prey on unarmed sheeple. Why doesn't he retire like his buddy Dick Daley and give the honest citizen's in IL. a break for a change?

I consider myself pretty laid back. Most of the celebrity shenanigans don't bother me at all.
For instance, I thought the whole Miley/Robin Thicke MTV performance was overblown. I didn't think it was that bad.
But this? I looked at this picture of Will and Jada's daughter and was, for lack of a better word, creeped out by it. What do you think?

American actress Ashley Judd refers to it as "The Conversation". We all know what it sounds like. The volume is loud, the tone is hysterical — and the subject is women's bodies.
The Conversation usually starts shortly after Scarlett Johansson goes for a jog. Let's imagine some guy is hiding behind a shrub with a long-lens camera. Let's say he happens to snap the unsuspecting film star from an unflattering angle, and then his images are distributed among various foetid cesspools masquerading as news websites.
"IS SCARLETT PREGNANT?" wonders the Conversation. "NO, SHE'S JUST FAT" replies the Conversation. "GROSS!" says the Conversation, "HAVEN'T YOU HEARD OF LIPOSUCTION, GIRLFRIEND?" And so on, until you wonder if we, as a species, shouldn't just comfort-eat ourselves to extinction right now.
Judd's own face was the subject of a notably dim Conversation recently (it was "puffy" apparently) and, to her credit, she has tried to start an actual conversation about it. Her thoughts on the subject, published on the Daily Beast website, are by turns despairing and inspiring. The Conversation, she has come to believe, is what misogyny sounds like in 2012.
"Our voices, our personhood, our potential, and our accomplishments are regularly minimised and muted," she writes, going on to point the finger at the "patriarchy".
However, just as the male who couldn't care less about Scarlett Johansson's dress size or whether Princess Beatrice is wearing Spanx begins to wonder why it's always his fault, Judd elaborates: "Patriarchy is not men. Patriarchy is a system in which both women and men participate … It is subtle, insidious, and never more dangerous than when women passionately deny that they themselves are engaging in it."
The unfortunate fact is, the Conversation is largely conducted by women, about women, for women. Usually for the ultimate profit of men, admittedly, but I'm not sure this counts as a masculine conspiracy.
Personally, I can scroll down the Mail Online "sidebar of shame" untempted by the articles about Kourtney Kardashian's "pregnancy shape", or Chloe Sims's £4,500 bum lift, though I know many intelligent females who lose hours to this stuff. "I can totally resist women's magazines, and yet I find myself looking at 14 pictures of Kate Middleton's coat-dress," a feminist colleague raged recently. Surely what fuels that anger is the mirror that these articles hold up to female concerns?
We all know where the Conversation leads: to anorexia, depression and dysmorphia; to the idea that bodily hair and pale complexions are quasi-medical afflictions that need "treatment"; to women choosing Botox-frozen brows that look good in a pap-shot over faces capable of registering human emotion in real life…
As a man listening in, it can be hard to get a word in. So perhaps all I can usefully say is that it makes us sad that you think of yourselves in that way. We don't. We think you're great. We like your minds. We just wish you did too.
Why, why, why won't they listen to Tom Jones?
I had the misfortune to be in front of a television tuned to BBC1 at roughly the same time as The Voice aired on Saturday. The biggest victim in this farrago is probably the licence payer, who must subsidise the wages of will.i.am — but still, I couldn't help feeling sorry for Tom Jones.
The ageing Welsh star may have wasted much of his career singing silly novelty numbers, but he certainly knows more about singing than the dreadful Jessie J, not to mention that Irish guy. His comments on the voices of the various contestants were easily the most perceptive: he could tell the difference between a weak falsetto and a strong upper chest voice, for example. Still, when each of the wannabe stars had to choose which one of the judging panel to be their mentor, no one went for poor old love-pants. Pop may be a young man's game, but experience should count for something.
Let it all out, and show up the hypocrites
Just when you thought no good could come from the dismal game of slapsies that is the London mayoral contest, here's a glimmer of hope.
Following the exposure of Ken Livingstone's inexplicable attempts to avoid tax, a new consensus is forming — it's time that elected officials were transparent about their tax returns. Boris Johnson rashly promised that he'd drop his fiscal trousers last week, and now the Prime Minister has chipped in. He has said he'd be happy to reveal all. And so the peer pressure increases.
Transparency is surely in everyone's interest. The majority of decent politicians hopefully get to prove that they're not conniving hypocrites. The public get to see who actually is a conniving hypocrite. The only losers are ... conniving hypocrites.
And why not extend the principle to all public servants? To BBC executives? To FTSE-100 company directors? As John Prescott might say after a good lunch, better out than in.
*One more positive point from the mayoral election. The independent candidate Siobhan Benita has just had her odds slashed to 66/1. According to the bookies, she's now third favourite, ahead of Brian Paddick and Jenny Jones. As the main contest gets ever more rancorous, who wouldn't want a modest, sensible, capable outsider in City Hall? Worth a flutter, I'd say.

"About the Use of the Violet Flame"
I have to tell you that when you as a conscious disciple manage the Violet Flame, a parallel activity of the Violet Flame is initiated internally. This results in the vibrational awakening of your chakras. Therefore, each time when you use the gift of the Violet Flame you are asked not only to focalize your attention on what you want to transmute but also on the internal activity which takes place within yourself.
One of the consequences of the continual use of the Violet Flame is the accelerated awakening of all your chakras, you will, step by step, wake up in a different world from where you live now.
This is the space for you to ORGANISE your personal connexion group, to look for likeminded people, to introduce yourSELF and say what you would like to contribute to the every expanding NET OF LIGHT around the world.

The master bedroom and the living room open out onto a 26 foot long screened porch that has a gorgeous view of the beach and Gulf. We continue to make improvements to our condo and this fall have retiled the master bath and shower. . Please note that the video does not reflect this change. There is a new flat screen TV in the living room. Each bedroom has its own TV and the condo is equipped with WIFI. The condo now has easy to open, glass hurricane sliders in the master bedroom and living room. The unit is beautifully decorated and is up to date. The master bedroom has a king-size bed with a new mattress, while the other two bedrooms each have two comfortable twin beds. There is a utility room in the condo with full size washer and dryer, where you will also find tennis rackets, beach towels and other items.
A boardwalk takes you from the swimming pool through a natural area to the world famous Sanibel shelling beach.
We are located in the Sanddollar complex which is relatively small. There are three buildings, each with twelve units. All units are direct Gulf Front, so we have a wide beach in front of us. Each building has an elevator. Next to the tennis courts and the pool are four new gas grills and tables for great family cookouts. Included in the package is the use of our storage locker, the contents include beach chairs, beach umbrellas, sand toys, floaters and other items you will find useful during your stay.
We always welcome suggestions to make your stay more comfortable.

Sanddollar is a three-building property located on Middle Gulf Drive on Sanibel Island, Florida. The property offers an intimate family experience without sacrificing any of the amenities of a larger property. The island-wide bike path is located directly across the street from the driveway allowing access to the island by bicycle. The unit itself is roomy, fully updated and located on the second floor of the three story building, offering gorgeous views of the Gulf of Mexico and the wide shelling beach.
This property was primarily used as our family vacation home for many years with our children also bringing their families here for honeymoons and other special occasions. We treat the property as we do our own home and hope you will enjoy your stay.

The PERFECT Vacation!
West Allis, WI
Review Submitted: April 20, 2010 Date of Stay: April 2010
My husband and I were extreamly happy with the Condo rental. Very clean and quiet! The pool and BBQ area was kept very neat as well and we enjoyed spending some afternoon time there vs. the ocean and beach which is literally 50 steps away and quite beautiful in itself. Everything (with the exception of food and personal toiletries) was available at the Condo. From a full kitchen, cooler, BBQ utensils, flashlights (for night time shelling and observing), beach towels and chairs, bikes...I could go on and on. You could honestly just pack some clothes and personal items and be good to go here. The owners were the greatest and most helpful before my booking and Sanibel Holiday rental (Julie) was great too! We will be back for sure...time and time again! Thanks you for one of the most relaxing vacations I have ever had in my life!
Oh and Sanibel Thriller boat ride is worth every penny of the $40 per adult charge!!

Quality Rental with Nice Location
Maryville, TN
Review Submitted: October 12, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
We did a last-minute booking in October 2009 and the owners AND management company were friendly and responsive. When we got there, we were so pleased with the location and living space. The pool was also very clean (even in off-season) and there were plenty of dishes and towels. There were tons of shells to be found all along the beach, and a beach short walk to the right revealed a sandbar that was great for skim-boarding away from shells.
The storage room contained several boogie boards and floating noodles, but no skim-boards or beach umbrella/chairs. We learned those can be rented, though, along with additional bikes (there are 2 in the storage room).
I would suggest packing some basics (salt, pepper, etc). since these basics appear to be removed after each renter. I did find sunscreen, coffee filter
I stayed at this condo the beginning of Sep 2015 with 5 girlfriends for my 50th birthday. The condo was perfect for 6 people. It was clean and had everything we needed. The location to the beach was great & the view from the porch was awesome. I would highly recommend this condo and would love to visit again soon.
Thank you so much to herb and Lenore for sharing their Sanibel home with our family.. we have been vacationing on Sanibel for 23 years and feel so lucky we found sanddollar C 203.
the condo has everything a family needs to enjoy a beach vacation..nicely appointed living room.dining room and bedrooms..all of the kitchen pots,pans and place settings you will need..the newly redecorated kitchen is lovely and family friendly.we love returning to this condo...the view is amazing ..the owners are very accommodating..and the condo is just great !!!
we love Sanibel and love this condo..we are lucky that the owners share their home with us..you will NOT regret renting this amazing condo on the beach..
My family of Yankees really enjoyed the quiet, natural beauty of Sanibel and Captiva. This condo was a great home away from home. It was clean, comfortable and very accessible to dining areas, activities and had great beach access. The filtered ice and water from the fridge was great. The kitchen was well stocked, and after a minor glitch (which was quickly repaired) the wifi and internet worked great. We appreciated the use of the well stocked storage unit for chairs, umbrellas, games and bikes. The tennis courts and pools were very nice. If I return to Sanibel, I would definitely see if this unit were available.
We have just returned from a fabulous 2 week stay at this unit on Sanibel Island. We have vacationed on the island for the past 24 years and have stayed at a number of different places. We appreciate that each condo is owned and rented out by the owner and as such we don't have the same expectations as we would at a 5 star resort. We do however, believe that over the years we have become quite picky with where we choose to stay.
This unit and location has by far the most to offer and more than met our expectations. Knowing the island as well as we do, the location is central to everything and is literally beach front! The beach is at it's widest and is a great spot for shelling and sealife. We saw dolphins, stingrays, starfish, sand dollars and so much more- even a sea hare that we have not encountered before.
The condo itself is quite comfortable and has a "home-like" atmosphere that is as well equipped as our own home. It does have a flat screen TV in the living room but then we don't travel to Sanibel to watch TV- unless of course the hockey play offs are on! We really appreciated the little things like a refrigerator with an ice dispenser and the comfortable wicker furniture on the balcony, so that we could sit and have our morning coffee or read in the evening- we really appreciated the two lamps on the balcony. With the sliding doors open, the living space doubled and made it quite spacious for ourselves and our two kids. The beds were super comfy which was especially important for the kids who we rarely saw before noon!
The storage locker was packed with beach equipment and two bikes, which was a real bonus for us as we usually have to rent them. The complex even had a grocery cart and a luggage cart, so that we didn't have to carry our luggage and groceries to the elevator.
The grounds are nicely landscaped and very well maintained with a nice pool. My husband particularly enjoyed meeting new people while barbecuing on the Weber grills beside the pool.
For a 3 bedroom condo, we believe that the unit is good value for the money and it goes without saying that we will be back again- in fact, we have already booked this unit for the same time next year.
Thanks Lenore and Herb for sharing with us what we consider our "home away from home" on Sanibel Island.
Craig and Andrea
We are just back from a week at this condo and thoroughly enjoyed it. It has all the amenities you need for a beach focused vacation. We were 3 generations - toddlers, parents and grandparents - and the accommodations were just what we needed. Plenty of sand toys, chairs and accessories for the beach, pool floats for the pool, a big porch with a great view for meals and relaxing, a comfortable interior and plenty of kitchen supplies for cooking and eating in. It's clean, well maintained, and the right style for a casual beach vacation. The common areas are also very nice including the pool, gas grills and seating areas. The beach is the highlight of course. It's an easy walk on the boardwalk and there's plenty of space on the uncrowded beach. I definitely recommend this place.
We were lucky enough to spend the last week of March at the Sand Dollar again this year! My kids and I cannot think of anyplace we would rather travel to spend family time together. Each year we find new and fun things to do, and create wonderful memories to take home.
Sanibel Island still has that quiet, safe, family-friendly environment that it had when I vacationed there as a kid. Each year my kids gain a bit more freedom on the island, and Sand Dollar is centrally located where they can easily get to the bike path to go meet with friends, or hit the beach a few steps away to go join a volleyball game. Thanks to the owner's thoughtfulness, there is a closet full of beach & pool toys and games, boogie boards, rafts, beach chairs, and a set of bikes. It is so nice not to have to pack those things for the trip (or pay "island" prices for them either!).
We love staying at the Sand Dollar when we get to the island. There are always plenty of families to meet during the visit; the pool is always a gathering place. The tennis courts are well maintained, and we always get a few games in. Grilling a quick lunch poolside under the pergola is always a hit! Access to the beach couldn't be easier thanks to the well maintained boardwalk. Walks along the beach always produce handfuls of exotic shells. We love that the Sand Dollar is a quiet, safe complex for a family.
The condo itself is wonderful! There are three roomy, nicely appointed bedrooms, each with a television and plenty of closet/dresser space. The front two bedrooms share a bath with beautiful fixtures and custom tile-work. A full laundry room is right off the bathroom hall, and makes it easy to keep up with the family's wash. The master bedroom has a beautiful view of the Gulf with a full wall of windows; there is nothing better than sleeping with the window open listening to the surf at night and waking up to the beautiful view in the morning. The master has two huge closets, and a cheery master bath. The owner's personal touch shows up again in the tiled shower.
The kitchen, dining and living room offer beautiful views of the Gulf and have all that a family would need. Plenty of dishes, glasses, cookware etc. we weren't lacking for anything. The large pantry and full size fridge were more than adequate for supplies for the kids and I for the week.
We cannot think of a better place for our family to spend a fun filled week on Spring Break and cannot wait until next year!!

Phenix Salon Suites
Upon walking into Phenix Salon Suites, it's hard to tell whether you've entered a salon or an art gallery. The stylish decor evokes the feel of a creative urban loft, with its bright colors, sharp lines, and high ceiling with exposed ductwork. And, to some extent, you have walked into an artist's studio. The team of stylists draw inspiration from their modern surroundings in order to craft equally modern hairdos to suit each client's style and personality. The staff also offer services that extend well beyond the professional taming of hair and amateur taming of lions to include waxing, nail services, and facial treatments.
