Barefoot, you step out onto the splinter-free deck. A brilliant orange sun crests the horizon, sending the last of its fiery shimmer over the smooth Pacific. In one hand you hold a glass of Oregon wine and in the other, a tiny hand – a child or grandchild. The whole family is here, gathered on this perfect evening for a sunset meal. At the other end of the deck, the bubbling hot tub is prepped for after-dinner drinks and a night of family conversation under the stars.
Welcome to Lincoln City, a quiet escape known for fresh clams and crabs, sparkling agate, and exquisite, hand-blown glass floats.
Welcome to a family retreat where every detail encourages you to sit back, relax and enjoy time with your loved ones.
Welcome to a cozy, comfortable getaway where expansive decking, streaming sunlight, and picture windows invite the crashing surf into every room.
Welcome to the Shearwaterhouse, a Pacific oceanview home just a block to the scenic Oregon coastline.
Each of our three bedrooms feature its own theme: will you don an eye patch in the Captain's Quarters, grow gills for the Mermaid Lounge, or explore the ocean's depths Under the Sea? Our master suite (Captain's Quarters) is perfect for the ambulatory-compromised, as it's located on the main floor and has a walk-in shower. (Note there is one step to enter the home and main floor.) And for our youngest visitors, not only does the Under the Sea bedroom feature fun décor, but the king bed and futon configuration is perfect for parents who want to keep children close at night.
Our home is perfect for:
• Multi-Generational Travel: With 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, child-friendly features, and accessibility for the mobility impaired, the Shearwaterhouse perfectly accommodates three generations of travelers.
• Young Families: At the Shearwaterhouse, babies and toddlers are safe and secure. We have a sturdy baby gate, baby-safe decking, and plans to babyproof further. Even better, the littlest members of your family will love our climbing cube, pack n' play, and other accessories. And parents appreciate our Trex
decking (no splinters!) and kid accessories, like a booster seat and bedroom monitor.
• Family Reunions: Our home is the perfect mix of casual fun and light, open space – a warm and inviting home perfect for family reunions. And if you need extra space, our studio cottage (rents separately) next door can accommodate an additional couple.
• Mobility-Impaired Travelers: The main floor of Shearwaterhouse is accessible, with just one step to the outside, and our master bedroom and bathroom (with walk-in shower) is well suited to mobility-impaired travelers.
* GLBT Friendly
Please note that the Shearwaterhouse is not suited to bachelor or bachelorette parties, loud events, big celebrations, or Spring Breakers. We appreciate your understanding.
What You'll Love:
• Ocean Views: Our home features huge, panoramic ocean views (complete with breaching whales, kite surfers and seals!) from every room. Never for a moment will you forget you're on the coast!
• Spacious Decking: Speaking of those views, there's no better place to drink in the Pacific than from our decking – so expansive, you can see them from space!
• The HOT Tub: When we say hot, we mean hot. Our large, bubbling hot tub (perched on our upper deck!) is always the perfect regulation temperature of 102 – never lukewarm.
• Themed Bedrooms: Ahoy, matey! Choose from our cozy Captain's Quarters, the ethereal Mermaid Lounge, or the out-of-this-world Under the Sea bedroom.
• Make Yourself at Home: The Shearwaterhouse feels like your best friend's home: comfortable and well loved, without being stuffy. Don't worry, you can put your feet up.
Nearby Activities & Attractions:
The Oregon coast is always scenic and always spectacular. We're happy to recommend area attractions and activities for your stay. Here are a few of our favorites:
• Fish for your dinner: Bottom fishing, rock fishing, mussel harvesting, crabbing and clamming are a popular – and tasty! – pastime.
• Hunt for agate: If you're in the market for a beautiful and memorable souvenir, Lincoln city is surrounded by rock-hounding beaches.
• Go antiquing: Antique shops and woodcarvers' galleries dot the regions.
• Enjoy the outdoors: Lincoln City and central Oregon beg to be explored: go hiking, biking, golfing, paddle boating, kayaking and bird watching to see and experience the best of our scenic coast!
• Explore our festivals: There's always an event on the horizon, like Finders Keepers (Lincoln City's glass float festival), the Kite Festival, and others.
• So much more: Take an Oregon wine-tasting tour, learn to blow glass, horseback ride at sunset, visit our farmers markets… the possibilities abound!
Our home features a full range of amenities, among them:
• Baby and toddler accessories, including a sturdy baby gate installed, and another to put where you need it, a deck that has no steps coming off it, a pack 'n play, a climbing cube on the lower deck, a highchair, a booster seat and a baby monitor
• Full kitchen with all the amenities of home
• High-speed broadband Internet
• Cable TVs with DVD players
• Gas fireplace for the family to gather around
• Expansive, circular double decks that draw you outside and expand your family living/dining space
Come, experience Shearwaterhouse and beautiful Lincoln City. We can't wait to welcome you and your family!
High School sweethearts, married since 1971. Because of Debi's time as a travel agent and love of travel, she talked Rob into buying her a beach home in Seal Rock. When they retired from the VA Hospital, they started renting it as a vacation rental. It did so well, that (Debi) wanted another one, and searched for the perfect home for a year until finding the Shearwaterhouse.
Debi Hertert purchased this house in 2009
Everything is in the right place! There is a magnificent view of the ocean; amazing deck; it's only a block away from the beach; it has a lovely fireplace and a large hot tub. The upper level - the living level works even for those who have mobility issues. Just one step into the house, and there is access to everything. Perfectly safe for toddler, too!
Why, these amazing circular trex decks, of course! Rob loves to think that you could see them from a satellite zooming past overhead!
This is a quiet, safe neighborhood, close beach access. We love that the tide pools are not far away and we can see waaaay far out to sea, spotting whales, crab boats and barges.
The house is good for ambulatory-impaired because you can do all your living on the main floor. You don't HAVE to go down the stairs.
Thank you so much for sharing your home with us! This was our first family vacation as a family of four!
The deck, the view, the hot tub, everything is perfect here. We wish we could have stayed longer. Our almost 2 yr old and 8 mo old LOVED the beach and playing in the sand.
The home is comfortable and has all the amenities you could ask for. The view is great
What a wonderful place to spend a few days. Beautifully decorated and they have thought of everything!! We will be back!!! Over and over!!
House was amazing, the views were breath taking!!!
We had a family vacation at Shearwater with three couples and a two year old. The house was perfect for us and the view is spectacular. Each bedroom has a fun theme, there is a nice BBQ and a hot tub on the deck. There are also many extras including beer mugs in the freezer, toys for toddlers, games, a small slide and sand box on the deck, chocks for the car tires, and a music docking station. Everything was well organized and very clean.
The owners were great to work with. They quickly responded to questions, booking was very easy, and they honored our privacy by asking permission for the cleaner to access a storage area while we were staying there.
The area above the house is wooded which brought additional wildlife to the area. We enjoyed watching deer and hummingbirds as well as whales swim by, a wonderful combination!
We have stayed in other homes in the area that have basement bedrooms that smell moldy. The downstairs bedroom in this home did NOT have that issue.
We highly recommend this home to others.
It was a wonderful place to stay and looked just like the pictures used to advertise it.. The king size bed was extremely comfortable. I felt right at home. The detailing in the house matched the feel of the area; nautical and beach like. The viewing room was a fantastic way to watch the ocean and marine life. There was access to wireless, and current technologies to keep connected with the rest of the world, but also the solitude we were looking for in our vacation. The homeowners and other parties involved were easy to communicate with and happy to do so. I would love to return to this property in the future.

text: Sonjay Dutt training for WWE is a good sign. First of all, NXT performers are learning from someone that has worldwide experience. Dutt also has worked for TNA. That means that he has worked in front of the cameras plenty of times. It might also be a good sign for those that want to see Dutt signing with World Wresting Entertainment. Being a guest trainer enables him to build a working relationship with the front office. Since the company is now looking for veteran depth, that bodes well for Dutt. It will be interesting to see if he returns for more training sessions.Categories: Tidbits

Social Networks and "Happiness Clusters"
It turns out that happiness really is contagious. Need proof? Nicholas Christakis and James Folwer recently published a paper in the British Medical Journal, suggesting that offline social networks have "happy" and "unhappy" clusters. In that study, they found that a person's happiness is related to the happiness of their friends, their friends' friends, and their friends' friends' friends… in other words, up to 3 degrees of separation. In addition, they also found that happy people were more likely to be at the center of their offline social networks, and that each additional happy friend increases your chance of being happy by about 9%. So what about online social networks?
A recent article on The Third Culture gives some insight into how Christakis and Folwer are using Facebook profiles to examine happiness clusters.
One of our efforts has involved the examination of a group of 1,700 college students who are interconnected in Facebook. We examined these students' online profiles. We noted who their friends were and we also studied their photographs.
…statistical analysis of the network shows that people who smile tend to have more friends (smiling gets you an average of one extra friend, which is pretty good considering that people only have about six close friends). Not only that, but the statistical analyses confirm that those who smile are measurably more central to the network compared to those who do not smile. That is, if you smile, you are less likely to be on the periphery of the online world.

In 2011, A$AP Rocky rapped that "niggers ain't ready for the flow switch / only Harlem nigger on this Bone shit." Apparently, n-words were behind by exactly two years. That Bone shit—the triplet-based, offbeat-centered melodic cadence popularized by Bone Thugs-n-Harmony—is suddenly ubiquitous, and OverDoz are a pleasing example. Their new mixtape, Boom, is as light and tonal as it is stoney, with not a trace of aggression to be found.
That last part is what makes it interesting. Those of us who remember that Bone shit in its original will also remember that you couldn't act hard listening to it. Fast rapping is just not scary. Maybe that's why Boom came out so well: freed from the dominant conceit of contemporary hip-hop, OverDoz is allowed to explore other veins, like humor and wanting to do it. It's not a perfect production—the beats are trebly, and the rapping is serviceable rather than daring—but it enters the hip-hop head's library as a gust of fresh air. Let us not forget that rap is party music, and it's hard to have a good time when you're glaring and brandishing your watch.

text: Buzz45 - Unregistered November 04, 2012 5:32 PM I would have imagined that NK didn't have time to have driven off the track, I don't think he's so stupid that he wouldn't have thought of that. If there was any way he could have prevented the crash, I'm sure he would have, but it probably happened so quickly it ws impossible to do anything. Also, with no steering, how could he possibly drive off the track. Common sense, the real common sense, says it's not possible to steer a car when the steering has failed! It is very fortunate that nobody was hurt though. 23 agree 3 disagree

South Jersey Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry Financing
Cost Effective Treatment DeliveryIt is generally accepted that as dental patients, we all "know" that we are supposed to do all the things our dentists or specialists want us to do.
Treatment Without Delay
To prevent prolonged delay, our office has access to a variety of resources that are designed to help individuals and families to get the treatments they need on a timely basis.
As with anything in dental health care.... conditions don't improve with time (although we may learn to adjust or manage the problem). And, as in general, cosmetic, and reconstructive dentistry, treatments tend to become more complex and costly the longer we delay treatment.
Many treatment plans can be designed to be modular and, in most instances, designed to be more affordable for individuals and their families. Inexpensive and interest-free financing resources make this possible.
We invite patients to inquire about our specialized treatment plans that prevent costs or treatment needs from increasing. The resources our office commonly uses for creating these cost-saving treatment plans include:
Have a particular question in mind? You can also contact our doctors directly with our on-line Ask The Dentist Form, to obtain some answers to your dental questions. Get the objective information you need for making an informed decision.

Why Janus Overseas Is Betting on the U.S.By
Brent Lynn has beaten 96 percent of rivals since taking over the Janus Overseas Fund (JNOSX) in 2003, in part by investing in stocks from emerging markets such as India and Brazil. Now Lynn is finding attractive bets closer to home. Delta Air Lines (DAL), Ford Motor (F), and Bank of America (BAC) were among the top 10 holdings as of Sept. 30 at the $13 billion mutual fund. Over the past three years, Lynn has more than doubled his weighting in U.S. stocks, to 20 percent—the most the fund is allowed to hold—while cutting emerging-market holdings to 23 percent from 37 percent. "Some of the best investing opportunities may be in the developed markets of the U.S. and Europe," says Lynn from his office in Denver, where Janus Capital Group (JNS) is based. "Growth may not be as exciting as it is in some emerging countries, but there are interesting things going on under the surface."
Lynn, 46, is one of a growing number of money managers who say the rush into emerging-market stocks has driven up their prices to the point where it's hard to find bargains. "The emerging-market story is as great as it has ever been, but the prices you are being asked to pay to participate are increasingly full," says Simon Hallett, chief investment officer at Harding Loevner in Somerville, N.J., which has $10 billion in assets under management, including $4 billion in equities of companies in developing countries.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index gained 19 percent this year through Nov. 5, including dividends, compared with a 12 percent increase for the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index. Emerging-market stocks jumped 79 percent in 2009, triple the 26 percent return of the U.S. benchmark. Since Lynn became manager, Janus Overseas has returned about 19 percent a year, according to research firm Morningstar (MORN). This year it has gained 20 percent.
In the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009, Lynn pared the number of stocks in the portfolio and put money into companies with the financial strength to survive the crisis. Among them were Hong Kong-based exporter Li & Fung, the biggest supplier to Wal-Mart Stores (WMT), and Mumbai-based Reliance Industries, owner of the world's largest fuel-refining complex. The stocks, now Lynn's two biggest holdings, have been among the fund's top positions for the past four years, regulatory filings show. Li & Fung shares have more than tripled since their October 2008 low; Reliance has more than doubled.
While seeking stocks with strong growth potential, Lynn also looks for what he calls special situations—companies or industries undergoing structural changes that have yet to be recognized by other investors. To Lynn, airlines fit that definition. U.S. carriers have removed seating capacity in the past few years "at a rate we believe is unprecedented since World War II," he says. With fewer tickets available, they can charge higher prices and generate greater profits. The Bloomberg U.S. Airlines Index has climbed 36 percent this year. Lynn owned stakes in Atlanta-based Delta and Houston-based Continental Airlines as of June 30, Bloomberg data show. Continental merged with United Airlines on Oct. 1, creating United Continental Holdings (UAL).
Shares of Ford, Lynn's fourth-largest holding, gained 62 percent in 2010 as it grabbed market share from weaker rivals and commanded higher prices. Ford has the potential to capture a larger piece of the small-car market, Lynn says. Bank of America, whose stock has fallen 18 percent this year, still faces economic and regulatory uncertainty, he says. Lynn is hanging on: "I believe those problems mask the company's long-term earnings power."
The bottom line: Lynn's shifting money in the Janus Overseas Fund to the U.S. is another sign emerging markets may be overheating.

The stark sculptures of Al Farrow are jolting in their simplicity. His Reliquaries series of sculptures are houses of worship and reliquaries (a container for holy relics) built from weapons and ammunition. Stacks of bullets form walls, barrels form steeples, and muzzles form minarets. Farrow's artistic commentary on violence in connection with religion is a powerful one. Using a provocative medium to create loaded imagery (seriously, pun not intended), Farrow's work easily elicits strong responses from viewers.

A Pen That Will Create 3D Drawings!
If you've been enamored with 3D printing as much of the creative community has been you may be interested in the 3Doodler. A Boston based company recently developed a pen that takes your doodles off your page – a pen for three dimensional drawing. The pen extrudes a heated plastic which which cools and solidifies quickly enough to hold its shape. In addition to drawing free hand, stencils to help create little sculptures, such as a mini Eiffel Tower, will soon be available to print out on the company's site. [via]
Eiko Ojala's Cut-Paper Illustration
Estonian artist Eiko Ojala expertly creates illustrations using paper. His complex collage pieces are at the same time simple in execution. His background as an illustrator is clear in each of these pieces. Ojala is able to communicate a considerable story with minimal imagery and medium. Whether a series of trees interacting through different seasons, or portraits, Ojala weaves interesting narratives using simple poignant scenes.
Eiffel Tower Rip-Offs
The Eiffel Tower was built in 1889 and by the very next year it had several admirers in neighbors across the channel. Some saw the potential of a similar tower, a "Great Tower for London". These illustrations are part of a catalog of competitive designs for the proposed tower released the following year. Some are hilariously derivative of the still brand new tower. Others, on the other hand, seem to belong to some sort of Victorian space-age. Regardless, in a strange way all of the designs seem to point to the importance and uniqueness of the original Eiffel tower, even at this very early age.
The Morbid Crystal Covered Sculptures of Nicola Bolla
The work of Nicola Bolla is arresting in its contrasts. The artist often fashions sculptures of straightforward (albeit morbid) objects that are then covered in sparkling crystals. The glamorous glitter of the crystal is juxtaposed against the utilitarian nature of many of the objects they cover. These are further contrasted in these images taken by photographer Sergio Alfredini. The dilapidated house provides a strangely ideal setting to emphasize these brightly dark sculptures.
Rainbows and Carcasses in Chase Westfall's Abstract Paintings
The paintings of Chase Westfall are pleasantly elusive. His work often toes the line between abstraction and figuration. He seems to often swing from sunny imagary such as flowers or rainbows to that of mutilated animal carcasses. However, he never gives it entirely away. The imagary often is obscured by a diamond grid work or its own abstraction. The viewers eyes constantly shifts between deciphering the images and inspecting the pattern, neither resolving the other. His oil paintings are executed on linen contrasting the soft surface with his hard edged geometric shapes.
Interactive Sculpture That Makes Charcoal Drawings
Artist Karina Smigla-Bobinski in a way treats her sculpture like a living creature. The piece titled (or maybe named) ADA is a large ball inflated with helium and covered in charcoal pegs. Visitors are encouraged to interact, even play with the ball thus leaving marks on the walls, floor, and ceiling of the room. The artist considers the piece not only a sculpture, but really a self-creating artwork. ADA's shape even resembles a cell or virus emphasizing the idea of the sculpture creating on its own (with some help from visitors, of course).
Rooms Become Massive Balloons in the Installations of Penique Productions
The Spanish collective Penique Productions creates massive installations that at the same feel nearly weightless. Using fans and colored plastic the collective entirely covers a selected space in a bright hue. Though the concept is relatively simple, the space feels totally transformed. The space and its furnishings are stripped of all their details and reduced to a set of shapes. Penique's Productions create an interesting way to investigate familiar places. Interestingly the collective says regarding the installations:
"It works the relationship between fullness and emptiness, creating a dialogue with the space it temporarily inhabits."

I feel a strong bond with the firemen of the late nineteenth century. The organization, practices, and customs of contemporary firefighting derive from that era. The activities on a twenty-first century fireground would not overly surprise a nineteenth century fireman somehow transported into the modern era.
American cities and towns suffered great fires from the colonial era into the early twentieth century. In that time fire was never conquered, only controlled. The level of control achieved meant that the scope of fires went from whole cities, to blocks, to neighboring buildings, to single buildings, to floors, to a single floor, to room clusters, and now to mostly just a room and its contents. Despite fewer fires today, the courage, devotion, and vigilance of firefighters remains strong.
Late nineteenth century America was literally a crucible of fire from which the modern fire service evolved. My goal is to explore the historical development of fire services and their role in society through writing, photography, and illustration.
The Practical Fireman's Notebook surveys urban fire history, firefighting, and the impact of fire and disaster on society. All material is presented for educational purposes and copyright is retained as applicable. To learn more about Crucible of Fire visit my website and follow me on Twitter and Facebook. Crucible of Fire is available from major book-sellers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Powell's in print and digital editions.

A few years ago, I wanted to introduce my oldest son to sports.

He was still pretty young, so I figured finding a local T-Ball club would be the best way to introduce Keep Reading
On Silly Job Titles
I've always been amazed at the creative titles some people use to describe what they do. Job titles are a frustrating thing; some employers make a huge deal about hierarchy, titles, and your job scope, while others really don't care at all and like to say things like "We're a small company; we all pitch in and help where we're needed."
I had one employer, for example, Keep Reading

Now that summer is almost over, it's nice to reflect on how it went. The Stauffer Family started this summer with a bang!

SCUBA Diving in Key Largo, Florida
Late last year, I spent some time in Florida and drove all up and down the state, as far north as Orlando and as far south as Miami then Key Largo.

The Gaza Conflict Is Entering Dangerous Uncharted Territory
REUTERS/Ibraheem Abu Mustafa
On Thursday, Hamas had accepted a 72-hour ceasefire that allowed Israeli forces to remain inside of Gaza - an erosion of a position the group had held since the conflict's outbreak. Israel and the U.S. believed that Israel was allowed to continue destroying Hamas tunnels behind their battle lines without violating the ceasefire, meaning that Israel could advance their main war objective even with the fighting halted.
Representatives from Hamas, Israel, the PA, and the U.S. were reportedly in Cairo, primed to use an unprecedented gap in the fighting to negotiate a longer truce. But it's possible a negotiated ceasefire wouldn't even have been necessary: Israel could just destroy the tunnels during the 72-hour half and leave Gaza, entering into a de-facto unilateral ceasefire that would spare them from making any additional concessions to Hamas.
It seemed as if all sides were easing towards an acceptable outcome after the worst outburst in Israeli-Palestinian violence in over a decade.
All of that ended at around 9:30 AM, Gaza time. Israeli soldiers engaged in tunnel destruction activities near the Gaza-Egypt border came under attack from a cadre of fighters that reportedly included a suicide bomber. Two Israeli soldiers were killed, with another captured.
Hamas representatives claimed that the attack took place before the ceasefire went into effect. It's also possible that not every faction in Hamas agreed to allow tunnel clearing to continue.
The U.S., which has spent considerable diplomatic capital with both the Arab states and Israel to resolve the latest round of violence - and has proven more willing than usual to condemn Israel in recent days - isn't buying it.
In a statement released this morning, Secretary of State John Kerry placed the responsibility for breaking the ceasefire squarely on the attackers. " The United States condemns in the strongest possible terms today's attack," the statement read, characterizing the ambush as "an outrageous violation of the ceasefire negotiated over the past several days, and of the assurances given to the United States and the United Nations."
As Israeli journalist Amir Tibon noted , every indication is that the attack was a complex, pre-planned operation. And even if it happened on the initiative of a sub-faction of Hamas - and even if it turns out that the Hamas politburo in Doha didn't expressly order its troops to use the ceasefire as cover for the abduction of soldiers - the organization isn't trying to back off from the attack, with one of its top commanders confirming the soldier's capture.
Today's events could presage a split between Hamas's Qatar-based leadership and Cairo-based negotiators, who seemed willing to give a sustained ceasefire a chance, and its battle-hardened Gaza contingent, who want to keep the war going. And there's been a notable split in messaging as well, with one Hamas spokesperson telling CNN earlier this afternoon that reports of the soldier's capture were an Israeli fabrication.
It also puts Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in one of his most difficult binds yet. Israel could continue its operation as if the abduction never happened - destroying Hamas's tunnel network, and then leaving the Strip when it's satisfied the job's been completed.
But the last time Hamas held an Israeli soldier captive, it barred the Red Cross from accessing him and then used him a negotiating chip in order to free hundreds of convicted terrorists from Israeli prisons. Considering the group's cruelty to captured Israelis in the past, its steep demands for a soldier's release, and the Israeli public's broad support for the Gaza operation, Netanyahu would have political cover to escalate the conflict even further.
As journalist and veteran Israel-watcher Jeffrey Goldberg puts it, this is the conflict's most dangerous moment .

A fugitive's flashy run from the law is over. Deputies said 22-year old Sean Fullwood fled North Central Florida after stealing 200,000 dollars in jewelry. Fullwood was arrested about 2,500 miles away in Mendocino, California where he was in jail as of Wednesday. A store employees and an owner said they're happy they were finally caught.
"As a twenty two year old kid living this flashy lifestyle, driving around in Range Rovers and Lamborghinis... we didn't expect him to be on the run for long," said owner Clint Asbell.

Throughout the entire history of the United States of America and our forty odd presidents only twice has Congress decided to charge the president with violating his office by acting in ways that result in violation of the Constitution. After the Civil War, Andrew Johnson who took over when Lincoln died was charged with violating the Constitution by challenging Congressional Republican ideas about Reconstruction. He was not convicted. In the 1990s, President Bill Clinton was impeached because he allegedly lied about a blow job. He was not convicted. The Republican is the only party in our history that gets into impeachment. For some reason they believe Republicans respect the Constitution unlike their Democratic party foes. Sarah Palin, John Boehner and others are raising the cry of impeachment because they believe Obama does not follow the law. At this moment, they charge he does not protect our borders. Huh? Three times as many illegal immigrants have been deported as were deported under the Bush administration.
All who enter the armed forces take a solemn oath to protect the Constitution. So, Obama tweaked a few sections of the Affordable Care Act. Hell, every president has tweaked a law now and then. Obama has interpreted the Affordable Care Act in ways not in agreement with Republicans, sorry, it is a common occurrence for presidents and some members of Congress to disagree as to the meaning of a law. If John Boehner believes Obama is not obeying the Affordable Care Act– go to the Supreme Court. When will this mania end about Obama not being a "real American" or someone born in another land?
By the way, as I recall, former President Bush lied about reasons for invading Iraq! Now, THAT is a reason for impeachment!!

The Internet has revolutionized global commerce, empowering organizations to reach new, previously untapped, international customers. To remain competitive and relevant—and to grow their businesses—it's more important than ever for companies to operate localized sites in overseas markets.
With the stakes so high for growing companies, it's critical to know the ins and outs of website localization. Thankfully, MotionPoint's new 30-page new e-book tackles this topic, providing insights on four key website localization approaches. Today, we'll look at a few talking points from the e-book's "Standard Proxy" approach section.
This is a brief peek into the Standard Proxy approach. To get the full story—and to learn about a platform-agnostic approach that generates sustained revenue growth—download the full, free 30-page e-book:
For years, the Standard Proxy approach has been recognized as a cost-effective and scalable website localization solution. It's especially good at managing localized content for large, technically-complex websites.
The Standard Proxy approach operates securely, but independently, of an existing website management platform (like a CMS). This makes the solution a fully localized—and completely platform-agnostic—extension of a company's primary-market English website. Companies can continually update their websites' "backend" technology and applications without affecting the performance of their localized international sites.
The best Standard Proxy solutions deliver a streamlined, worry-free experience. This is thanks to localization tools such as a translation workflow and a translation workbench, and can accommodate market-specific localizations.
Security is also robust. The best Standard Proxy localization solutions never collect personal information from end-users.

Reviews forEasy Refrigerator Pickles
My Review
Average Rating
"Lovely recipe. Some mentioned they needed more brine- but if you pack more tightly, you will need less brine. Perhaps top off with more cucumber and onion. When ever i have a few cucumbers left over, I make a jar to set aside. Everyone loves these. Some asked how long they keep- well, once opened (and kept in the fridge) they last several weeks. That is if you do not eat them all first"
"I'm so glad I found this recipe to help me use up the abundance of cucumbers this year! This recipe is so easy to make and the pickles have a great balance of flavors. Even the onions taste great in this solution. I'm sure you could pickle just about anything with this recipe, it's great!"
"Love this easy and delicious recipe! The pickles' have just the right balance of sweet and tart!"
"directions were very simple to follow and very easy to make and they sure was delicious and definitely makes for a good gift ideal I love giving gifts especially when its something that I have made homemade and I believe people enjoy homemade gifts better than bought gifts thank you for the recipes"
"So easy, and so good!"
"I, like another reviewer, was confused by the 6 cups of veggies versus only 1.5 cups of the vinegar solution. I needed to triple it to cover all of the cucumbers and onions. I also couldn't find celery seed and substituted caraway seed. Fortunately, still turned out awesome. Very tasty. A bit floppy to pick up, but they were still crunchy to bite. I'll definitely be keeping this recipe. Thanks."
"Super easy & very tasty! I followed another reviewer's suggestion to use less sugar & cut it in half. The pickles are still sweet & tangy. I also omited the ground cloves since they were alittle too expensive, seems fine without it. We will continue to make these to have around to nibble on. Great snack item!"
"Have never made refrigerator pickles. I see someone has already asked how long they will keep. I did not see that anyone answered. Can someone please let us know how long they keep please? thanks"
"easy to make. Good flavor. Would love in larger Amt and be able to can. Refrig space at a premium."

About Me
You will find an updated version of the about me page in the increasingly populated sidebar to the right. I felt it was time to write something a little broader and more encompassing. The previous about me was just a little too focussed on things academic. That said, I've decided to capture part of it in a quote below, simply becuase it says a few things I have not consicely recorded elsewhere in the blog.
Reflection is at the core of my approach to academic work, action is important, but equally important is the ability to pause, consider and learn. The right thing to do may often be simple and straightforward, but right way to think about a context is often complex and systemic. It is only when we give ourselves the time to reflect that we can understand difficult situations and otherwise intractable problems.
My current period of reflection has been precipitated by a move to India in 2003, which proved far more difficult than I had envisaged. A direct consequence of this relocation was an indefinite pause in my PhD studies. At first this was profoundly disorienting. But over time it became clear this would be an opportunity to reflect upon and reconsider a vast cache of unfinished projects and ideas, as well as past sermons, papers and lectures.
Academically, my focus remains theology and culture; more specifically globalisation, film and urban living. These interests found their expression during my time at King's College London where I was reading for a PhD in hermeneutics, having previously studied theology in Sydney and taught in philosophy of religion, ethics and apologetics. During the time at King's I ran a stimulating reading group called Coffee, Theology and Culture and was for one year on the management committee of the Centre for Theology, Religion and Culture, where I gave lectures on Christianity, theology and religious education as well as writing a draft for an MA course on theology and film.
Whilst at King's there was a wonderful opportunity to work with their Chaplaincy, including co-founding and running the SacredImages film and faith programme (1999-2002). At that time I preached in a number of churches, including several occasions at Bloomsbury Baptist Church, helping them pilot some "out of the ordinary" evening services, followed by a year with St Peter's Anglican Church, Fulham helping develop their evening service. In a lot of ways these ministries were a continuation of the journey through the Sydney Baptist churches were I formally served and worked on creative approaches to worship and young adults ministry.

FAA Technical Employees Troubled by FAA Attempts to Eliminate Certification
17 Mar, 2009, 16:42 ET from Professional Aviation Safety Specialists (PASS), AFL-CIO
House Lawmakers Echo Concerns to Inspector General
For decades, FAA technicians have routinely evaluated and tested the systems and equipment in the NAS, regardless of their ownership, to ensure their safe operation - a successful practice that has been vital in maintaining a safe and efficient air transportation system. However, the FAA has made a drastic change to its policy in order to allow systems and services that are not owned by the FAA to be deployed without certification. The first system to be impacted by this change is one of the cornerstones of NextGen, the Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B) system. "In essence, the FAA is attempting to eliminate inherently governmental functions in order to justify handing over the NAS to private contractors who are focused primarily on maximizing profits and meeting the absolute minimum of safety standards," said PASS President
House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chair
PASS will testify before the House Subcommittee on Aviation Wednesday to express concerns over the FAA's certification policy. In addition, PASS will caution that as the FAA moves forward into new territory, it is ignoring several key issues that have the potential to impact the successful implementation of NextGen, including involvement of stakeholders in modernization efforts and the staffing and training of the FAA technical workforce. A copy of PASS testimony and the letter from Oberstar and Costello will be available on
PASS represents more than 11,000 employees of the Federal Aviation Administration and the Department of Defense who install, maintain, support and certify air traffic control and national defense equipment, inspect and oversee the commercial and general aviation industries, develop flight procedures, and perform quality analyses of the aviation systems. For more information, visit the PASS website at www.passnational.org.

Low platforms helped passengers in getting on and off streetcars and resulted in decreased running times and fewer accidents. Pittsburgh Railways streetcar 4398, pictured, was constructed in 1917 by the St. Louis Car Company. Streetcars such as this one remained in service until the early 1950s. The Pennsylvania Trolley Museum in Washington—about twenty miles south of the City of Bridges—received $4,800 from NEH for preservation supplies for the proper storage of photo negatives, prints, and slides from the museum's archives of electric railway material.

Hmmm, for shrimp, your site is only showing sulawesi... Seriously considering some rilis at that price! Please get em on your site soon ! :)
Thanks for visiting our site! All of our stocked inventory including the Rilis Shrimp is located on the Invertebrates section ( Upper left hand corner ) and ALSO on our Collections section (Located on the upper right hand corner of our site! ) Currently the prices arent listed on our site as of yet, this sale is only available to TBT as of now. If you are interested, please PM me your order and let me know if you have any questions!
When will the rest be on the site?
Will there be a mobile version of the site? Or something other than flash? Like html5? I can't see the site at all on my phone... Other than that, thanks for the sale and welcome to TPT :)
I could definitely go for some CRS and possibly some tigers, but your site doesn't let me see anything but sulawesi shrimp. Not sure why, but let me know if these two others are still available. Also, where do they ship from, so I can plan to be home for the delivery.
Exactly what I said... Hope we can get the answer.
If you want to view what he has, click "collection" int he upper right corner. PRices are listed at the top of the thread. THe OP says he has not put prices in for all of them.
I'd ditch the flash. Slower than dirt and Can't view it on my Iphone/ipad.
@Geniusdudekiran - Retail prices on our QShrimp site will be posted up by 10/28/11, prices may vary from time to time. :) Please check back again and let me know if you have questions in regards to our pricing! :)
@HolyAngel - Unfortunetly our provider is Flash Based and while they do provide a mobile version, is it not of the best quality in our opinion. Therefore currently we are unable to be viewed on Mobile Devices. However just to inform - we are looking into other options that will better service our business, perhaps in the next year if we do not see any improvements coming from them, we are looking to change and enhance our site. Thanks for asking!! :)
Prices look appealing to me, but the Flash site is a major turn off. Let us know when you get a real site up and running. I'd be interested in spending some of my hard earned $$$ on some shrimp.
Nice site, I don't mind the flash (neither does my computer.....). I'd very much consider it a "real" site. If a flash site is holding you back from PM'ing the guy and ordering.....that's your issue, not his!
Prices are competitive too!
flash sites can be discouraging when using idevices.. but nonetheless good luck with the website.. you got awesome prices too.
Thanks for your consideration guys. We will not be currently looking changing our site to fit into the mobile demographics at the moment, however if we do - we will surely let you all know.

INSIGHT-California's push for cleaner buses could edge out natural gas
By Nichola Groom
LOS ANGELES, July 2 (Reuters) - Fifteen years ago, California led the way to cleaner transit buses with strict tailpipe emissions standards that effectively ushered out diesel as the primary fuel for buses in the state and replaced it with natural gas.
Now, California is poised once again to take the lead, this time by mandating a switch to so-called "zero-emission" buses by 2040.
The new push by California's powerful Air Resources Board (CARB) has the potential to marginalize natural gas as a bus fuel in the same way its adoption once marginalized diesel.
In response, the California Natural Gas Vehicle Coalition has proposed expanding the definition of "zero-emission vehicles" to include not just electric buses, but also those powered by so-called "renewable natural gas," which is produced from cow manure or decomposing organic matter in landfills.
Whereas regular natural gas offers a reduction in greenhouse gases of about 15 to 20 percent over diesel, renewable natural gas offers a reduction of about 90 percent over diesel, according to the coalition .
"That's going to be a tremendous step forward over where we are today," said Tim Carmichael, president of the coalition, which includes T. Boone Pickens-backed fuel provider Clean Energy Fuels Corp, utility Sempra Energy and engine maker Westport Innovations Inc, among others.
The stakes are high. About 60 percent of California buses now run on compressed natural gas, or CNG, compared with 17 percent nationwide. And with roughly one seventh of the nation's 67,000 transit buses operating on California's roads, the state is a crucial market for both bus manufacturers and fuel suppliers.

The Best & Worst Fast-Food Smoothies
Find out which fast-food smoothies are the best nutritionally (and learn which to avoid)
I'm obsessed with smoothies. Maybe it's the heat. Maybe it's all the fresh berries my husband and I have been picking at the berry farm. We've been going crazy with our blender—a handful of berries, some yogurt and a little ice. Cover, blend, and presto! A tasty, satisfying breakfast (or snack) to grab and go.
Smoothies seem so inherently healthy—one refreshing drink can help you get a few servings of fruit, which boasts fiber and antioxidants, and some calcium from yogurt. But many fast-food versions are just vessels for delivering spoonfuls of sugar through a straw. Find out the best and worst smoothies at fast food restaurants.

Weathertech floor liners
I'm looking to get the Weathertech floor liners in tan. I have dark charcoal exterior with the cloth light beige/frost interior. For anyone who has the tan color weathertech floor liners, is the tan light in color or of a darker tan? Can you post a pic if you have one? Thanks.
Re: Weathertech floor liners
I cant help from experience but I can say IMO I would get the black mats for the dk frost light beige interior. The tan liners do not match ANYTHING on the inside and just look awkward. I remember seeing one picture floating around here somewhere and it didnt look good. Imagine a camel/tannish colored floor liner sitting on a dark brown carpet, with a light beige seat.
Your call either way, I just thought I would give my 2 cents on the subject since I saw a picture.
When I take delivery of my Overland im for sure going with black and will be getting either husky or OEM mopar mats. I dont care that Weather tech has their logo in red where its visible. Last thing I want to see when I get in my jeep is a logo for a floor mat company lol.
Re: Weathertech floor liners
Re: Weathertech floor liners
Larados don't come with frost, only black or greystone. AT least per their website. In that case I would get black.
Re: Weathertech floor liners
I have the WeatherTech floor liners in tan colour with the Overland dark brown carpet. They look good to me, but obviously this is a matter of taste and not all agree. :thumbsup:
Here is where I previously posted a pic, at Post#5:
Re: Weathertech floor liners
Two of my cars have beige interior including the Jeep. I have black Weathertechs in my Audi and they look so dirty with the winter mess. Even cleaning them well last summer I couldn't get them to look clean. So, I bought beige Huskyliners for the Jeep this winter and with all the slush and salt that gets in, they look so much better than the black ones in the Audi.
