Starbucks opening at Downtown Disney
Starbucks Corp. is opening its first location at Downtown Disney in Anaheim, Calif., which will be the first of six new Starbucks retail locations that will open at Disney properties in the U.S.
Starbucks said the Disney location will be different because it will contain a 10-foot video screen where visitors will be able to see the "story behind Starbucks coffee" and will also include interactive touch screens.
"This store is a reflection of two iconic brands coming together to offer their customers the kind of high quality experience they expect in a way that embodies the unique passion of each," said Arthur Rubinfeld, chief creative officer and president, global innovation for Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX), in a statement.
Starbucks said there will be five more retail locations opening at Disney properties, including: one additional Starbucks-operated location in Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort, two Starbucks-operated locations at Downtown Disney at the Walt Disney World Resort and two Disney-operated locations at Disney's Animal Kingdom and Disney Hollywood Studios at the Walt Disney World Resort.
Starbucks opened its first Disney outlet at Disney Village at Disneyland Paris in 2009.

How does FE 55mm perform in crop as a 85mm lens??
Jan 21, 2014
I'm currently having A7 and Nikon 85mm/f1.8 D lens with adaptor.
FE 55mm got very good review as a standard prime. But i'm just wondering how it will perform under crop mode as a 85mm (82.5mm precisely) compared with the Nikon lens.
I know I will only be able to use 10M pixels out of A7, but I also got AF so it's not a bad deal and 10M is enough for most of my usages.
My biggest concerns are DOF, IQ and shutter speed. Will they be shallower/better or at least comparable with the Nikon lens or any other 85mm full frame prime under the same aperture settings?

Hello Everyone,
Techspert Erika here, writing to you from the Elegant Explorer MS Prinsendam. We are currently 49 days into our 68 day Grand South America and Antarctica Voyage. What a tremendous experience this has been, from rainforests and beaches to icebergs and penguins, definitely an experience of a lifetime!
I'd like to take a moment to talk about Microsoft's personal cloud storage service. Microsoft announced on February 19 that their personal cloud storage service, formerly known as SkyDrive, has been renamed to OneDrive. The name change came about because of a trademark dispute with another company, BSkyB. You may have noticed the change on your own computers.
OneDrive still offers the same great service, giving you one place to store your important photos, documents, and videos online. You can think of OneDrive as an external USB flashdrive (of sorts) instead of placing your photos or files to share on a flashdrive, you can place them in OneDrive and send an email sharing those files to whomever you want. This is a great way to get around those pesky email size attachment limitations. Signing up for a OneDrive account gets you 7GB of free storage.
If you want more information on OneDrive, I suggest to head to this website: https://onedrive.live.com/about/en-us/
Or you can always book a cruise with Holland America Line and join your onboard Techspert for a session on Discovering OneDrive.
Hope to see you soon!

As the row over allegations by Llew Smith exploded into an angry exchange of letters between William Hague and the Prime Minister, a member of the committee suggested that Mr Blair should look to his laurels. Peter Bottomley, a former Conservative minister, said that if Mr Smith complained to the committee as he had threatened to do, it should take the matter seriously.
Last night, Mr Smith said he was considering his next move, but confirmed he was considering a complaint to the Standards and Privileges Committee. He had spoken to the chief whip, Nick Brown, yesterday afternoon and had been told he would not be disciplined for speaking out against his party, he said. Fran Abrams

My Favorite Small Talk ESL Speaking Activity
Small talk is a necessary skill, but can be difficult for non-native speakers, especially those from countries where such conversation is not common. Explain to the students that they are at a cocktail party being thrown by their spouse/partner's company. They must engage in small talk with a group of 3-4 others for 2-3 minutes. You may need to scaffold the activity with common cocktail party conversation: current events, sports, even the weather, if they must. Let them know certain topics are NOT appropriate at a cocktail party: political opinions, religious discussions, salary, or any other controversial topics. Additionally, demonstrate how to ask follow-up questions.
The main points of the activity are to practice speaking with relative strangers about inconsequential topics and asking follow-up questions. Wrap up the activity by asking each group what topics they discussed and give feedback.
Teaching Tip:
Depending on the level of your students, when you demonstrate the activity, you may need to bring to their attention that you are making follow up questions, based on your partner's answers. Otherwise, your students may end up asking each other a list of unrelated questions without really listening to the answers.
1. Explain to your class that they will be attending a cocktail party for their spouse/partner's company. Their spouse/partner is called away (to answer a call, talk to the boss, whatever), so they must mingle alone.
2. Elicit from students typical topics of cocktail party conversation. Add to the list, as necessary: current events, sports, favorite TV shows (particularly very popular ones that the other guests are likely to be familiar with), etc.
3. Elicit from students topics of conversation which would NOT be appropriate, such as salary, age, religion, etc. If necessary, explain that these topics would be considered personal or controversial.
4. Have students stand and begin to mingle.
5. After 2-3 minutes, have students change groups. Time allowing, have them chat with three groups for 2-3 minutes each.

THE GAME: The Greyhounds will play their second game in three days this afternoon while Duke has not played since defeating Xavier at the Izod Center on December 20. Loyola had its modest two-game winning streak snapped Monday night at North Carolina State while the Blue Devils bring a two-game winning streak into this afternoon's contest.
THE COACHES: Loyola head coach Jimmy Patsos enters his fifth season and has registered a 62-70 (.470) career record. The 1989 Catholic graduate has never coached against the Blue Devils. Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski is in his 29th season with the Blue Devils and sports a 740-209 (.780) record. In his 33rd season overall, his career record is 813-268 (.752). The 1969 Army graduate is 1-0 against the Greyhounds.
THE TEAMS: There are three common opponents on the schedules of both teams, all of whom the Greyhounds have played while Duke has yet to play any of the three. Loyola played at all three, losing games at Boston College and at Davidson as part of its commitment to the NIT Season Tip-Off and losing at North Carolina State Monday night. The Blue Devils will host Davidson (Jan. 07) and the Wolfpack (Jan. 20) and will visit Boston College (Feb. 15).
THE SERIES: Duke leads the series, 1-0, the only game being a 92-68 Blue Devils home win on January 4, 1984. The Blue Devils went 24-10 in Mike Krzyzewski's fourth season and began a stretch of 11 straight 20-win seasons for Duke that included five Final Fours and two National Championships (1991, 1992). The Greyhounds became four straight winning campaigns under Mark Amatucci, a mark this year's Loyola team is looking to match with a winning record this season.
THE PROGRAM: Loyola is playing its 99th recorded season of basketball this season. The first season was 1908-1909 and this year the College is celebrating the 100th anniversary of that first season. The Greyhounds have posted a 1118-1152 (.493) all-time record during that time.
LAST TIME OUT: Loyola came back from a 14-point deficit in the first half and then a 16-point second-half deficit with 8:32 remaining, but ended up on the short end of a 62-60 decision Monday night at North Carolina State. Sophomore guard Jamal Barney took the last shot with two seconds remaining that would have given the Greyhounds the win. He finished with 20 points. Senior guard Marquis Sullivan shot Loyola back in the game with four straight second-half three-pointers and finished with a season-high 21 points. Sophomore guard Brian Rudolph scored nine points with six assists and freshman forward Anthony Winbush grabbed a team-high seven rebounds.
THE END OF 2008: This afternoon marks the last day of 2008 and the last game of the calendar year for the Greyhounds. Loyola already has 19 wins in the year, one more than 2007. The 18 wins in 2007 were the most for the Greyhounds since Loyola won 18 games in 1994 - the year that included the first and only NCAA appearance for the Greyhounds. The last time Loyola won 19 games in a calendar year was 1985, winning 13 to conclude the 1984-1985 season and six to open the 1985-1986 campaign. The last time the Greyhounds won 20 or more games in a calendar year was 1971 when it won 17 games and the Mason-Dixon Conference tournament to cap a 19-7 season in 1970-1971 and opened the following year with four victories for 21 triumphs during the year.
GREYHOUNDS AGAINST RANKED OPPONENTS: Despite a history spanning 99 seasons of basketball, Loyola has only 18 recorded games against teams ranked by the Associated Press since the weekly rankings begin in 1948-49. The highest ranked teams have been the 1952-1953 La Salle team that was ranked No. 3 one year prior to winning its 1954 National Championship and last year's visit to third-ranked Kansas, last year's National Champion. Besides last year's Jayhawks, the Greyhounds faced two ranked teams in seasons that would include Final Fours - the 1969-70 St. Bonaventure Bonnies and the 1993-94 Arizona Wildcats. The matchup with Arizona was in the NCAA Championship West Regional First Round following Loyola's only MAAC Championship, the Greyhounds' last postseason appearance.
BARNEY POURING IN THE POINTS: After not having played in almost two years following his departure from Providence and sitting out his NCAA-mandated transfer season, sophomore guard Jamal Barney has been on a scoring tear of late. After scoring just 66 points in his first six games, he has poured in 112 points in the six since, including four efforts of 20 or more. Not forgotten has been his rebounding in his last five outings, grabbing 37 boards for an average of 7.4 per game. Three times in the last six games he has made better than 50 percent from the floor and he has made six or more field goals in each of those games. Since he moved into the starting lineup eight games ago, he has reached double figures in seven of the eight while leading the team in scoring four of those times. Over that eight-game stretch, he is averaging 17.4 points and 6.3 rebounds while shooting 44.8 percent (56-125) from the field and 80.8 percent (21-26) from the free-throw line.
SULLIVAN REACHES 1,000: Senior guard Marquis Sullivan was honored prior to the December 10 game for scoring the 1,000th point of his career. The 29th player to do so, he tallied the historic basket on a three-pointer with 4:33 remaining in the first half at Davidson, one of four three-pointers he scored in the game while leading the team with 16 points. After being held scoreless in the win over Coppin State, he bounced back with a season-high 20 points in just 22 minutes at UC Davis and then scored 21 points in 20 minutes Monday at North Carolina State. He made four or more three-pointers for the fourth time in nine games this season, shooting 50 percent or better from long range in each of those outings. His appearance at UC Davis made him the 37th player in Greyhounds basketball history to play in more than 100 games in a career.
RUDOLPH LENDS HELPING HAND: Out of the starting lineup for the first time since early January of last year, sophomore guard Brian Rudolph responded with his best performance of the season against Coppin State, handing out nine assists without a turnover and adding two steals. The assist total was just one off his career high of 10. He had his two front teeth knocked out while diving for a loose ball in the game and has committed just one turnover since, handing out five helpers with no turnovers at UC Davis and six assists with just one turnover Monday at North Carolina State. Mired in a shooting slump since scoring 11 points twice in the first three games, he is averaging 5.3 assists through the 12 games this season.
LEWIS MAKES HIS RETURN: Sophomore guard Tony Lewis made his return to the lineup at UC Davis and scored eight points with a steal in 18 minutes played. He had played sparingly in a pair of games immediately following and then did not dress for four games after exploding for a career-high 23 points and eight rebounds against Cornell.
HARVEY GIVING TEAM WHAT IT NEEDS: After not making a field goal in two games, junior guard Brett Harvey has scored in double figures in four of five games since, including 27 points against Niagara. While others have taken the scoring burden of late, he has contributed other ways, including a season-best seven assists at UC Davis. Whatever the team has needed, his free-throw shooting has remained consistent, ranking ninth nationally in the latest NCAA numbers through December 22. Four times this season he has made nine or more foul shots in a game and his 13-for-13 performance against Niagara equaled the second-best performance in school history. He has made 35 consecutive free throws entering tonight.
WINBUSH LENDS SUPPORT: Keen observers have noticed the impact that freshman forward Anthony Winbush has made since moving into the starting lineup seven games ago. After playing just 34 minutes in the season's first four games, he hasn't played less than 22 in any of the seven that followed, including a career-high 36 Monday night at North Carolina State. His impact was never felt more than in the deciding moments of the Coppin State game. His steal off the press and hand off to junior guard Brett Harvey in three-point range for a successful basket game Loyola its first lead of the second half with 4:21 to go, his alley-oop dunk 3:09 left pushed the lead to five, another alley-oop dunk with 84 seconds remaining snapped a 67-all tie, he found sophomore guard Jamal Barney open under the basket for what resulted in the game-winning free throws with 46 ticks left and finally he rebounded a missed Eagles shot with 22 seconds left and got the ball to Harvey who was fouled and sank the game-clinching free throws. He scored seven points before fouling out at UC Davis while contributing stellar defense against the taller Aggies and followed that with a team-high seven rebounds and more defense against the Wolfpack.
WIEGAND EARNS STARTS: A freshman walk-on, center Josh Wiegand earned a start in the second half of the Niagara game and has been in the starting lineup for the three games since. Against the Purple Eagles, he made all three of his shots from the field for six points and added five rebounds, including four off the offensive glass. His next outing resulted in two points, four rebounds, a steal and a block.
HALL TALLIES DOUBLE DIGITS AGAIN: Freshman guard J'hared Hall matched his career-high against Coppin State, scoring 11 points in a career-best 17 minutes. Seven of his points came in the second half and his only three-pointer of the game cut what was a 20-point Greyhounds deficit to nine with 14:32 remaining. He first tallied 11 at Vermont, scoring the three-point basket that brought Loyola all the way back from a 13-point first-half deficit to tie the game with 12:35 left. He has made 40.9 percent (9-22) of his three-point attempts thus far this season.
WRIGHT PUTS UP THE BLOCKS: Junior forward Jawaan Wright has already collected 17 blocked shots through his 10 games, including five at Vermont. He leads the team in field-goal percentage (.609) and is fourth in rebounding (3.5 rpg). He has cracked the Top 15 in Loyola's career blocked shots list, recording 37 in two-plus seasons thus far to rank 14th.
NEXT TIME OUT: The Greyhounds return to conference play this weekend with their annual trip to Western New York, taking on Canisius Saturday and Niagara Monday. Loyola will play in Reitz Arena for the first time in a month on January 9 when it hosts Fairfield in a MAAC game.

Love muches!
It had already been 6 month's since the Switzer/Parker case. Parker sure enough got what he deserved. He had a life sentence plus years for the rape, kidnap, and murder of young Jodie Switzer. Both Kate and Garret had returned to work after their hard time. Kate had slowly but surly accepted the death of her daughter, with much help from Nigel and surprisingly Stiles as well. Jordan wasn't CME anymore resulting in the return of Garret, but while it lasted, she did enjoy it. Even if Garret didn't think she could handle it, she could, and she did a great job of it. It was stressful at times, and she had to work extra hours on occasion, but she loved being in control.
Garret, soon after his return, begun drinking again, but quickly got forced help from Jordan and Woody. Jordan hated to see him struggling with that again, and Woody hated seeing Jordan freaking out with it. He didn't go to rehab, but he did stop drinking completely. Jordan kept a watchful eye on him making sure he was never drunk and checked his apartment spontaneously to check everywhere for any alcohol items. He had since then recovered, and was 100 percent sober at the Hoyt wedding.
Jordan and Woody had since then gotten married. They had been happily married for 3 months now, and they were both on the same page when it came to starting a family. And little did they know, it would soon be coming true in a shorter period of time then they expected. Lily had been Jordan's maid of honor and helped a lot with the wedding planning. They were married at St. Inez by Paul. Everyone from the morgue, most of the precinct, and even Jordan's friend Kim attended. It was definitely the happiest day of their lives.
In the lives of Lily, Bug and Maddie, it was wonderful. Lily was still living with Bug and Bug was still the only one who could get little Maddie to go to sleep. He'd sing his "magic" lullaby and she'd be sound asleep within moments. It was only a matter of time after the crash that Bug proposed. Bug asked her while Jordan and Woody were enjoying their honeymoon. Jeffery on the other hand was absurdly aggravated about the whole situation. Jeffery wanted marriage. He wanted everything Lily wasn't going to give to him. He was doing everything in his power he could to get shared custody. Lily didn't want that for her daughter. Of course she didn't want to completely cut Jeffery out of her daughter's life, so all Lily would promise was updates and rare visits.
Lily got her job back at the morgue and shared an office with Kate. Kate rarely used it anyhow. Kate's life was almost exactly the same since the death of her daughter; although, now she felt a weight lifted off the ground. The fear every night of if her baby was ok or not went down with the girl's casket into the ground. Nigel was her strength through everything. They were official and had been officially seeing each other for a few weeks after Jodie's death. Yeah, Nigel considered them an item after she had taken care of him and him her, but now they were going on dates and everything that comes along with being a couple.
Life for everyone at the morgue, including Woody, was looking up, and none of them would have changed what happened to them on the mountain, because it brought everyone closer to each other. It was a miracle in itself.

Bears backup receivers step up in big way
If you were watching the Bears game on Sunday and needed a program to keep track of who was catching passes at wide receiver, don't worry … so did Jay Cutler.
The Bears quarterback had a mostly brand new wide receiver corps, but made do with it in beating the Kansas City Chiefs, 18-17, for their second straight win.
Third-year pro Marquess Wilson led the way for the Bears with six catches for 85 yards and a touchdown, followed by Josh Bellamy, who also caught six passes for 31 yards. Undrafted rookie Cameron Meredith, a converted college quarterback, caught four passes for 52 yards. To complicate matters more for Cutler, tight end Martellus Bennett was taken out of the game by the Chiefs defense early on, leaving Cutler with a myriad of unproven targets.
But the trio of young Bears receivers stepped up and contributed in a big way and helped lead the Bears to an improbable victory.
With Alshon Jeffery and Eddie Royal slated to come back to action any time now, and Kevin White waiting in the wings, it would be simply a luxury if any one of the aforementioned youngsters could continue to develop into a fourth option.

Senior Policy Advisor, Economic Program
Joon Suh
There aren't too many kids who have to learn to crunch big amounts of data before high school. But luckily Joon Suh was raised by two social scientists. He attributes his strong preference for solutions that are empirically determined and the product of evidence-based decision making to his research-assistant-since-birth upbringing.
Joon is a senior policy advisor for Third Way's Economic Program, which is committed to advancing a pro-growth economic agenda for the middle class. Joon works with Capitol Hill, the Administration, business leaders, economic experts, and leading academics to devise and advance policies that directly increase middle-class prosperity.
Joon believes in realistic solutions that can appeal to both ends of the spectrum—which stems from the working-class immigrant neighborhoods in Queens where he was raised and the deep red parts of Alabama that he still calls home. This belief drove his work as a pollster helping Democratic candidates and organizations find and effectively use the right messages to win campaigns in places where they were not accustomed to winning. Joon was an integral part of an effort that flipped more seats from red to blue than any other polling firm in the country during the 2006 and 2008 election cycles.
Joon has served on Capitol Hill where he advised Members of Congress on both ends of the ideological spectrum—from a conservative Ways and Means member from Alabama to a progressive California Bay Area appropriator. He has also worked as a tax lobbyist at Venn Strategies, helping businesses, non-profits, and associations on matters related to tax reform, retirement security, and trade.
Joon earned his Master in Business Administration and Master of Public Administration from Auburn University, and is a proud graduate of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Joon spends his fall weekends rooting on his beloved Auburn Tigers and is tormented year-round by his New York sports teams.

The Innately Curious Child
"Try a simple experiment. Take a small child on your knee. Respect him. Do not see him as something to prune, form or mold. This is an individual who thinks, acts, and feels. He is a separate human being whose strength lies in who he is, not in who he will become."
These words are Susan Schaeffer Macaulay's, quoted in When Children Love to Learn (ed. Elaine Cooper). And this perspective informs The Oaks teaching philosophy.
We believe in the Personhood of the Child, meaning: a student is a whole human who is capable of the duty and delight of learning.
Oaks teachers empower their students to learn by respecting them. The innately curious child, then, experiences and discovers on her own – developing her own relationship with ideas, stories, and art.
And this process is a marvelous thing to witness, so come experience learning at The Oaks. Contact us (317.931.3043) to schedule a classroom observation or personal tour.
Building Up Brookside
In August 2012, The Oaks Academy will open our second location on Brookside Parkway North Drive.
Right now, the two inaugural classes of Brookside Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten students are incubating at our current Fall Creek location. And a current fifth grade teacher, Kelly Altman, is preparing for her new role as the Brookside school leader.
Renovation work is underway at the Brookside building, and Oaks Partners have served an important role. Volunteers from One Brick helped clean hallways and paint classrooms and the gym. Members of the Leadership Development Committee at the Indiana Construction Association repaired safety lights, improved the playground, and removed graffiti. Keep Indianapolis Beautiful provided twelve trees and assisted in their planting and continued care.
Community support is critical as we move forward in our expansion to Brookside. Consider volunteering to get involved.
Walking Down the Hall
Written by Andrew Hart, Fall Creek Head of School
Last week a teenager walked through the main hallway of The Oaks listening to his iPod. Nothing unusual about a fourteen year old, ear buds in, minding his own business.
But there was activity bubbling all around him, and he was walking, oblivious, toward the door. Surrounded by beauty, he was living in his own soundtrack.
What is it about walking through The Oaks' hallways, absent an iPod, that stirs me? The ascetics are part of it – gleaming wood floors, high ceilings, soft, warm colors.
But there are plenty of places that have a similar look that don't appeal to me like The Oaks does. There's something else happening in the hallways; there's something more in the classrooms. What is it about this space that stirs such affection in me and perhaps in you, too?
Come to Chapel
The Oaks Academy chapel is a coming together: of students and teachers, parents and families, staff and guests. Every Wednesday morning, all enter into the gymnasium for chapel
In song, scripture, and prayer, our school community celebrates Christ. A parent may raise her hand in worship. The younger students clap their hands during a favorite song. A teacher bows his head in prayer.
You are invited to join The Oaks Academy for all school chapel, any or every Wednesday from 8:30 to 9:00am. Come and be a part of our time together in glorifying God.
A Lifetime of Learning
Written by Andrew Hart, Fall Creek Head of School
A friend recently shared with me: "My kids will get what they need in elementary school, then we'll invest in a great high school experience. After all, that's where all the action is."
Huh? I've heard it 100 times: "Save now, pay later." But what's the cost of a 'pay later' strategy for a child's learning and growth?
Here at The Oaks Academy, our view is that the trajectory of a child's love of learning and their appreciation for the learning process is set early, primarily through habit formation and the associations that develop in a child's heart and mind between learning and joy.
Certainly, adjustments can be made at every point of our lives. Certainly, an outstanding learning experience can occur in virtually any school given a great teacher. No situation is unredeemable.
But the work associated with first preparing a child for learning is the fodder for a lifetime of learning.
Our relationship with learning forms early – both for the positive and the negative. I suspect anyone reading this has had experiences in which the atmosphere was positive and this led to a desire for more learning, more growth.
And to the contrary, we've all had experiences, sadly, that involve drudgery, boredom and possibly fear, that in the following years have caused us to avoid a repeated experience, often at personal cost. A colleague once told me that she didn't like math and never felt confident in the subject because of an early, negative experience with a poor math teacher.
At The Oaks, we focus on a dual strategy in the early grades. We first help students learn to control themselves and their bodies, to develop a degree of personal discipline so they are prepared to learn. That's the first job of our teachers – the formation of habits, in particular: attention, responsibility, obedience, and self-control.
All the while, Oaks teachers foster an atmosphere where students are confident they are known and loved. The classroom becomes a safe space in which a love of learning can grow. We believe this starts a child's course toward a deep, very personal love of learning.
"The direction in which education starts you is likely to set your course for the future." Plato

Default Logging
NServiceBus has some limited, and opinionated, logging built in.
The default logging behavior is as follows:
In these versions default logging was only enabled in the NServiceBus Host. For self hosting enable the logging using code.
See NServiceBus Host Profiles for the default logging in the NServiceBus Host.
Changing the defaults
This can be achieved by taking full control over the Log4Net integration.
Logging Levels
The Logging level, or "Threshold", indicates the log levels that will be outputted. So for example a value of
Warn would mean all
Error and
Fatal message would be outputted.
The supported Levels are defined by the Log4Net.Level class.
Changing the Logging Level
Via app.config
<section name="Logging"
type="NServiceBus.Config.Logging, NServiceBus.Core" />
<Logging Threshold="Debug" />
Via IProvideConfiguration
public class ProvideConfiguration :
public Logging GetConfiguration()
return new Logging
Threshold = "Info"
Via config API
This can be achieved by taking full control over the Log4Net integration.
Custom Logging
For more advanced logging, it is recommended to utilize one of the many mature logging libraries available for .NET.
- Log4Net integration
- NLog integration
- CommonLogging integration
- Serilog integration
- EventSourceLogging integration
When to configure logging
It is important to configure logging before any endpoint configuration is done since logging is configured in the static context of each NServiceBus class. So it should be configured at the startup of the app. For example
- At the start of the
Mainof a console app or windows service.
- At the start of the constructor of the class that implements
IConfigureThisEndpointwhen using NServiceBus.Host.
- At the start of the
Global.Application_Startin a asp.net application.

"Lovely designs. The product quality was excellent. Fast and effective customer service. Highly recommended."
Nilanka F.,
NSW Australia
"I ordered my rings through Wedding Bands my wedding was 2 weeks away from the time I placed my order. USPS lost my package claiming it has already been delivered I contacted Wedding Bands to inform them the situation. They immediately follow up with USPS and continue to do so for over 1 week I was just 2 days for my wedding with no rings Wedding Bands step up and manufacture new rings and just before they were about to send them USPS found the package got the rings just in time and I was happily impressed by how Wedding Bands handle the whole thing. On top of that the rings were just exactly what I pictured they will look like my now husband tells me everyday how much he likes his ring and that this feels really heavy and probably cost a fortune the true is that although wasnt in the cheap end the price was very good for such a nice and heavy ring. We love our rings and I highly recommend you to get them from Wedding Bands."

Choosing a CCTV security system can be a confusing task, especially with the wide range of designs and brands available on the market. When shopping for CCTV security cameras, buyers should pay attention to a variety of factors, including the type of output, minimum illumination, video resolution, and control mechanisms. Learning about how to improve home security with the help of CCTV cameras can help buyers make an informed purchasing decision.
Important Considerations
The first thing to consider when shopping for CCTV home security systems is to evaluate the particular needs of the property. Some CCTV cameras are a good choice for indoor installation, whereas others are ideal for monitoring the exterior of a property. CCTV cameras are available in wired and wireless versions. Wireless security systems are often preferable because they are easier to install.
Budget is another factor to consider, as the price of security cameras can vary significantly from one model to another. CCTV cameras come in several designs, and buyers should consider the characteristics of each type before making a decision.
Types of CCTV Security Cameras
CCTV security cameras are available in a range of sizes, shapes and types. Each one has different features and specifications, such as installation requirements, suitability for internal or external use, and Internet connectivity.
Type of CCTV Security Camera
Main Characteristics and Features
Ceiling or wall-mounted unit
Mostly suitable for indoor use
Cylindrical, thin shape
Capture images from a fixed area
Dome-shaped structure
Unobtrusive cameras
Intruders cannot tell which direction the camera is pointing inside the dome
Compensates for varying lighting conditions
Ideal for outdoor settings, such as car parks
Works well in direct sunlight
Transmits images over the Internet
Easy to install
Does not require separate cable
One of the best options for home security is a digital wireless CCTV camera. The advantages of this camera are that users can easily access a recording from a specific date and time. Playback functions include reverse, fast-forward, and frame-by-frame playback. Moreover, digital cameras are easy to connect to the Internet, allowing for instant remote viewing whenever necessary. It is even possible for homeowners to monitor their houses from their cell phones or laptop computers while they are travelling.
Key Features
CCTV cameras come with a variety of features and lens options. Some of the most important features that buyers should consider are angle, tilt, resolution, light sensitivity, and coverage. Buyers should opt for a high-resolution camera whenever possible, as this improves the identification, spotting, and detection of movement. A camera with a 2 MP resolution should be enough for most households.
The angle of a security camera determines both the field of view, and the focal length. When choosing the angle, consumers should think about the size of the area for which they want to capture images. Different cameras come with different light sensitivities, measured in lux. Cameras designed to operate in very dark settings have a lower lux value, while cameras that operate in direct sunlight need a higher lux. Many cameras have variable light sensitivities, which means that they adapt according to the particular lightning at different times of the day.
How to Buy CCTV Security Cameras on eBay
Sellers on eBay list a wide selection of CCTV security cameras. In order to find the most suitable security camera for their home, buyers can type relevant keywords, such as 'security camera' into the search bar that appears at the top of every page. Shoppers can speed up their search by refining results by specifications such as type, price, brand, or seller location. Improving home security with CCTV cameras gives homeowners the peace of mind they need, whether they are in the house or away.

The Kennedy Donaldson Senior Center sits in the heart of town.
As you drive through the rural areas in our state, you see in small town after small town the many cars gathered at the local senior citizens' center. Rural populations are aging, and senior centers function as lifelines to many. The Kennedy Donaldson Senior Center is no different, fulfilling a vital need in our community.
Founded in 1975, for over a quarter of a century the Center has served as a social meeting place, a location for health and safety services, as well as a provider of nutritional meals.
Currently, the health and safety services provided at the Center include blood pressure checks, foot clinics, diabetes information, and driving safety lectures. Also, the Center provides seniors with much appreciated social activities, including card games and bingo. And this year we are planning to try and bring back musical entertainment and parties.
For many years the Center served and delivered affordable and nutritionally balanced noon meals, three days per week. These same meals could also be ordered in quantity for days when the Center was not open and did not deliver. The service provided meals to many, some on fixed incomes or with challenging food budgets. Without these meals, certain seniors might not have been unable to remain in their own homes, while others could go days without social interaction. These meals were a service provided by Lutheran Social Services (LSS) to senior centers in the area.
Kennedy Donaldson Senior Center
Director: Esther Pietruszewski
Telephone: 218-674-4396
Consider Making a Donation
Did you know the Kennedy Donaldson Senior Center operates entirely on donations? Your consideration and support would be greatly appreciated. Do it in memory of the many great people that came before us and built our community. Do it as a thank-you to the senior citizens that are with us today.
Donations may to mailed to:
KD Senior Center
408 North Atlantic Ave. (POB 13)
Kennedy, MN 56733
The Kennedy Donaldson Senior Center and LSS
Regretfully, in May of this year, LSS informed the Center that some of LSS's services were set to be cut, due to devastating budget cuts in the amounts of $30,000 this year and $90,000 next year.
How does LSS currently serve the Center? The only services the Center received from LSS were the noon meal program and meals on wheels. So, those two programs were the only programs affected.
How will the meal program change at the K-D Senior Center? Effective July 1, 2013, LSS discontinued meal service to the K-D Senior Center.
Is LSS also discontinuing meal service in surrounding communities? One of the difficult decisions LSS had to make was where to cut, with the least amount of impact. And, since Kennedy has the smallest population and smallest number of meal participants, Kennedy's was the LSS meal site that was cut.
Does this mean the Center is closing? NO. Not only is the Center not closing, but new ideas are in the works that will help sustain and hopefully grow the Center. Some of the ideas include new members, new services, and new events, and hopefully meals again, on some sort of basis. An official communication will be sent out to the public once the details are finalized and approved by the board.

This flea friday post is a little bit like a special edition in the short - it's all about my collection of Soviet plates.
I love that I am able to collect something while on a shoestring budget. The reason I like them is not just about their look.
They are also useful. In fact, every piece in the collection is a working plate - we eat from these every single day. Another reason I find them very easy to collect is that they are dirt cheap and pop up fairly regularly on the shelves of most junkshops and fleamarket stands. As a bonus, they seem to come in many different patterns, but mainly in blue and brown, so a collection of random pieces still looks like a set somehow.
Without exaggeration, I can spot a ZIK plate by a mile (6th sense?), but the easiest way to tell is to look on the bottom for the stamp - a sort of V-shaped pine branch sitting on top of the name ZIK in Cyrillic which reads a bit like 3NK.
From time to time, I try to research the maker and this particular series a bit more, but there's not a lot available online about them. All I know is pretty much from this article: ZIK is a studio of the Konakovo Faience Factory. The company was founded in 1809 and still exists. They produce tableware, figurines and tea sets in faience and utility grade porcelain.
I haven't been able to find any information about these actual plates themselves. The stamp of 'Made in USSR' in English suggests to me that they were made for export. The mighty USSR existed between 1922-1991 - I reckon my plates date from the 60s or 70s; one reference here to a similar looking plate from the 60s seems to confirm that.
That's about my ZIK collection in the short, but what about you? Do you like to collect old things that you can use in everyday life? Or do you prefer to keep your collections out of harms way behind the safe glass of a vitrine?
Sharing on Sir Thrift a Lot, and on Me and My Shadow.

|Separate WC's
|1,184 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
A 3 bedroom corner duplex. Situated in lovely communal gardens with communal pool. Ideal summer holiday rental close to all amenities and walking distance from the sea - excellent location. The property is a pleasant 10min walk to the popular sandy Arenal beach. Property includes sitting /dining area which opens onto shaded terrace with outdoor dinning table. Modern decor throughout with aircon and ceiling fans in all bedrooms.
Take a walk down to the sandy Arenal beach or just relax in the sun by the communal pool or go snorkelling/diving in the cove just a 5 min walk from the house.
There are also a number of excellent golf courses in the area of Javea and Denia a short drive from the house.
Javea is a delightful resort. The Aranel beach is a short walk away and is very child friendly having a gently shelving long sandy beach. Also close by are quiet coves where we have enjoyed snorkelling.
The property is accurately described, clean and well maintained and has a high degree of privacy. On our visits the communal pool and garden area has been quiet and the swimming pool clean.
The owners appear to take an interest that we enjoy our time there and have provided contact numbers should we encounter any problems.
Having spent many hours trawling through holiday home websites I am so pleased to have discovered this property that I am now booking my third consecutive year (never having visited the same place more than once previously). The property is a home from home and we make good use of the nearby supermarket and kitchen facilities. There is a good choice of restaurants in the area for those seeking more frequent dining out.
Highly recommended by family with 2 young childre
Having spent many happy summers in this delighful, comfortable and very easy to use property, i would highly recommend it to anyone, of all ages. It has something for everyone. Set in a small and private urbanisation, it offers the safety and flexibility for those with young children who need to run around and let go! The pool is always welcomming and quiet and has a small paddle area for the very young!
The famous Arenal promenade and its beaches are just a few minutes walk away which is great for those who dont need or want to rent a car.
The house offers all mod cons, especially the air con is a must for those who are not used to the heat!
I know i will always go back for more.
Just returned from Javea after a relaxing 10 days.
This property is modern, clean, spacious with lots of homely comforts. The air con and ceiling fans make life very comfortable during the hot weather. It is well situated by being 15 mins walk from the main Arenal beach, supermarket, bars and restaurants. The only minor concern was the rear garden backs on to a busy road (the picture on the website could give the impression the garden has access to the pool - it hasn't)
Communication with the owners, for information and payment, was very easy.
Thoroughly recommend this delightful property.

Easily accessible being an hour from either Alicante or Valencia airports, Javea has a wide range of fine restaurants and trendy bars, many looking directly over the sea. Escaping the high rise mentality which has plagued so many Spanish sea side towns and with its beautiful country side and wine region on your door step, it's easy to see why Javea is one of the most exclusive addresses on the Costa Blanca.
Javea is divided into three areas, the Port, the Arenal and the Old Town. The Port is a traditional fishing port with a marina, cobbled streets, an elegant promenade of restaurants and bars and clean pebbled beaches. The Arenal has a beautiful sandy beach, a lively promenade with shops, bars and restaurants and is ideal for children. The Old town is a typical Spanish town with narrow streets, tapas bars and a weekly market.
Other Activities: Good snorkelling only 5 mintues walk from property, Go-karting, crafts and good shopping

My 8 yo dog was treated Monday with vinblastine for what was suspected as a mast cell tumor. She developed neurological signs 24 hours later including lip smacking, eye blinking, panting and now cannot walk or hold her paws correctly. Her paws are folding under her. Please help, she is critically ill. The vet is now saying the cancer diagnosis is not confirmed so what happens when you give vinblastine to a patient who does not have cancer?
Does vinblastine cause any neurological signs in dogs such as the inability to walk?

Yesterday was a day for some big decisions. It really began the night before when Mr. Eight emailed me from work about a deployment he's thinking about signing up for. I won't go into details but it will help us out a lot financially.
The catch is that he has to let them know today whether or not he is signing up.
And he would leave in October, for 6 months. A 6 month deployment isn't really that big of a deal, except that he was just gone last November through April. This would be the same time period but add on an extra month. For us that means the whole holiday season plus my birthday, Miss M's birthday and our anniversary. This would be the 3rd anniversary we were apart for.
Then I'll need to decide if I'm going to go home at all. It would be a great opportunity to take the kids home and visit family. My sister has never met Mr. C, and I have friends that would love to see us.
The big decision for me is school. While talking with my mom about it I came to the conclusion that I am just not ready for this semester. I haven't finished all my paperwork, I haven't even officially been accepted. I'm still waiting to hear back from one of my professors about a letter of recommendation and I don't have the finances figured out. If Mr. Eight leaves and I go home for the holidays, I also don't want to have to worry about school work in the midst of all that. I'd rather just enjoy my time there.
So many decisions to make and there's a good chance he won't even be selected! I'll find out today whether or not he put his name in, and then we'll just have to wait and see what happens!

I wish you the best of luck Savannah! In my opinion, if you aren't ready for this semester, don't go! It will only be harder on you if you aren't ready.ReplyDelete
Good Luck!

In 2012 there are 6.2 BILLION mobile phone subscribers worldwide. If that doesn't amaze you, consider that this number is projected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6 percent between now and 2016. By the end of 2016 the number is expected to pass 8 billion.
Here are a few more numbers. An article in March 2012 on www.onlinecolleges.net shows that 77% of those aged 12 to 17, and 97% of those who are 18 to 29 years of age, have cell phones.
Mobile Internet technology is used for everything from health care to gaming, from banking to marketing, from shopping to watching videos, from playing music to using a digital camera—and everything in between.
Mobile phone use today has moved light years beyond a simple voice communication device. Smartphones now offer the functionality of personal assistants, music players, digital cameras, and text messenger systems. You can take care of all your finances, including Mobile banking, Mobile shopping, and utilize services like Mobile ticketing. This even includes the ability to scan a check directly into your checking account, downloading your boarding pass for the airlines, or your ticket stub for the movies.
Something to consider…for all these Smartphones to work, the websites they go to must be ready for a mobile user. Businesses really need to plan for their websites to be mobile ready for users. They need very simple sites, or they need one site for a traditional internet user and one for the mobile user.
Web designers today know that there are three behaviour trends driving the mobile internet experience. Users are looking for convienence, context, and fun!
