Wed 29 Feb 2012 in 45,-76:
The geohash is in a pig farmers field off of Upper Dwyer Hill Road.
Who went[edit]
User:PhilRichard - by car and foot.
The Expedition[edit]
This is my first geohashing adventure, I decided Feb 29th would be a good day to start being the leap day and all. I live in the graticule (45,-75) next to this one, and it was my intention to go geohashing there except when I got to work I realized the geohash in this graticule (45, -76) was closer, and I only had my lunch hour to get this done. I left the office at noon and drove 36 km west, the geohash was in a field about 100 m off the road. The field was fenced in by a short wire fence, on private property.
I saw a gentlemen enter a steel building at the edge of the property so I knocked on the door and was invited into the steel building by Mike (who owns the steel building adjacent to the field) to get out of the cold because it was -22°C with the wind-chill today. I briefly explained what geohashing was to him and asked if I could go into his field, however he said he didn't own that field, but the pig farmer across the street did, but he said that the field was always vacant and didn't think anyone would mind if I walked in it and took some pictures. He warned me however I should have brought boots, and to be careful of the barbed wire at the top of the fence.
In hind sight boots would have been smart but lucky for me the field is elevated higher up than most of the surroundings, so the strong wind prevented deep snow from accumulating. While the wind may have made the terrain easy to walk on, it also made it really, really cold. After jumping the barbed wire fence (which was made easy due to a snow removal pile), I walked looking to the geohash. On my journey through the field however a gust of cold wind blew a small piece of paper on which I had written the exact coordinates on, out of my hands.
With a quick phone call to a colleague at work I was able to get to the exact location. Thus ended my first geohashing adventure. I didn't look at the frozen geohash achievement before I left so I didn't bring a thermometer, but it was way, way below freezing!

Only hours remain until kick-off of Super Bowl XLVII between the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans tonight. This is amidst rumors that pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. will flex his proverbial muscles and use the biggest sporting event in the United States as a platform to announce his next opponent for an anticipated fight on May 4 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Will it score a winning touchdown or will it wind up being a quarterback sneak?
Given the typical high drama and anticipation surrounding all things Mayweather, it would come as no surprise if he once again used this opportunity to generate even more attention for himself. The undefeated champion used the Super Bowl to promote his fight with Shane Mosley in 2010 and created chaos last year when he and former partner-in-crime 50 Cent drove an oversized bus through the crowded streets of Indianapolis for promotion of his May 5 fight against Miguel Cotto.
While those were tactics to promote previously confirmed fights with well-known and highly established fighters, this would be a case of actually announcing an opponent. It doesn't exactly seem to be something football fans would particularly be interested in learning about during a Super Bowl that pits two brothers who will be head coaching against each other for the first time in history and will be Ravens star linebacker Ray Lewis' final game after a dominant 17-year career.
Interim WBC welterweight titleholder Robert Guerrero has been the rumored opponent for Mayweather since December. The Ghost is not particularly well-known to the casual boxing fan so using the Super Bowl as a means to introduce him as the next foe may not get the biggest bang for "Money" Mayweather's buck.
WBC light middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez is the other possible option that has been heavily considered. Although a star-in-the making with wide spread appeal, the 22-year old Mexican has not fully established himself with notable victories over prime opponents during his title reign. While a segment of boxing fans would not mind seeing the young gun take a stab at the great Mayweather, the general feeling among hardcore boxing fans is that such a fight is unwarranted and would be anti-climatic.
An announcement that involves either Guerrero or Alvarez could very well result in an overwhelming reaction of "Who cares?" from the large majority of tonight's Super Bowl audience.
The type of announcement that would really generate mainstream attention and water cooler conversation tomorrow morning is if the 35-year old Mayweather uses the biggest sports stage in the country to inform the world that he is retiring from boxing. At 43-0, 26 KO's and little possibility that there will ever be a fight against pound-for-pound rival Manny Pacquiao (a fight that has appreciably lost its appeal over the last three years), Mayweather will not cement his legacy by fighting anyone else at this stage of his career.
Now that would be the kind of sneak that not even Colin Kaepernick could execute.

I am pleased with this week's gain. I was expecting it to be far far worse. Come on it was Christmas week! Not only this, as I mentioned in one of the earlier blogs:
- I lost my key chain that had all my keys, house, office bike shed - everything.
- My bike was stolen since it was locked outside my bike shed. Shockingly it was stolen only a few hours before the locksmith came and replaced the lock to the bike shed.
My cycling mileage as you will see went way down plus no gym. To add to all this there was the delicious Christmas meal. We all ate out. It was unusual and enjoyable be in a restaurant on Christmas day. We will do it again next year.
After all this to end up with a small gain is a good result.
I got a new bike on Friday. It is just not the same. I just could not justify to myself for buying the same type of bike for £500. So I changed the order and went for £270 one. I wish I had not done this. Cycling with the new bike just does not give me the same pleasure. It is more a chore now. I will still cycle and see how it goes.
I hope I enter 2013 with a loss!
This week's result– Gained 1 lb
Total Weight loss to date: 16 lbs
This week's Weight:12 stones and 9 lbs
Cycled to work : 8 miles ( 1 day x 8 miles per day)
Resistance training: 0 times this week
Target Weight: 10 stones

Popular Malayalam actor Augustine died due to physical ailments on November 12, 2013. His daughter and actress Ann Augustine, who recently got married to cinematographer Jomon T John remembers him on his birthday, by sharing a post on her Facebook page.
Ann Augustine, who was very close to her Acha, wrote on her official Facebook page: Happy Birthday Achaa!!!I hope you are having the best celebration ever in heaven!But always remember that i miss u & there is not even a day that i dont cry for u!Cant beleive u left me alone that i forgot to be myself without you!I soo wish that God give me a chance to talk to u once more just to know you are safe & happy back there!
Ann said that she would love to talk to her acha once more just to make sure that he is doing good in heaven. This note clearly depict the in-depth of love that the father and daughter had carried in their relation. Ann, who got married after her dad's death, had a very tough time indeed to come out from the fact that her dad is no more. Director Ranjith accompanied her to the wedding, taking Augustine's place.
Ann has not signed any movies as of now and is busy with her new life. But, inspite of it, the actress remembered her father on his birthday and posted a note, sharing how much she misses him on his birthday, which was on April 7.

Initial Review: 25,000 miles on tires
April 25, 2013
I had these on my Kia and loved them. I put over 6,000 miles on them doing a road trip across the US and Canada. Put another 19k on them after. Never any complaints. I'm looking into new tires for my GTI and am leaning towards buying these again quite heavily.

I have a panel which is a node template. There is only one thing on the page, the Breadcrumb from the page elements section.
I created a custom breadcrumb of the panel variety and selected the proper panel page from the dropdown. I entered a couple test entries in the Titles and Paths boxes, then saved it. When I go to a node the breadcrumb displayed is just a link to Home. I have tried flushing my caches, using the breadcrumbs for nodes, and for paths. Nothing I do seems to impact the breadcrumb at all.

I confirm this. The feature doesn't work as
ctools_page_breadcrumb_content_type_render seems to be called before
custom_breadcrumbs. Setting this to major, since it really makes (sub)module useless.
Well it turns out the reason hides in the order
ctools_context_handler_render_handler does things:
function ctools_context_handler_render_handler($task, $subtask, $handler, $contexts, $args, $page = TRUE) {
$function = page_manager_get_renderer($handler);
$info = $function($handler, $contexts, $args); // (1)
drupal_alter('ctools_render', $info, $page, $context); // (2)
It's clear that first it calls an appropriate renderer
$function($handler, $contexts, $args) (and in particular - breacrumbs renderer
ctools_page_breadcrumb_content_type_render) and then
drupal_alter('ctools_render') which triggers custom breadcrumbs stuff.
Atm I have no idea how to fix this.

I confirmed this bug.
I temporary fix may be to load a specific javascript check that relies on the assumption that all the breadcrumbs div must match the custom breadcrumbs settings. To do so:

and on , in the theme folder / js, overall.js:

Latest figures from the Scottish Executive show that manufactured exports shrunk by 1.8% in 2005, despite a slight growth in the last quarter.
The electronics industry was mainly responsible for the growth in export sales from 1995 to 2000 but has since been responsible for the largest fall.
Deputy Enterprise Minister Allan Wilson said that, excluding electronics, the figures showed a 3.5% exports increase.
The statistics showed that export sales went up by 1.9% in the last quarter of 2005.
Chemicals proved to be the main industry driving the growth with a quarterly increase of 7.8%.
'Less positive'
The main industry showing growth in export sales over the year was drink, with an annual rise of 7.1%.
Mr Wilson said: "I am encouraged to see an increase in exports over the final quarter of 2005 - the second consecutive quarter of growth.
"I recognise, however, that the performance over the year is less positive."
He said it was important to recognise the positive performance of the chemicals and electronics sectors over the last quarter which accounted for 44% of total manufactured exports.
Since 2000, the level of manufactured export sales has fallen by 36%. This represents an average quarterly decline of 2.2%.

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
Exactly, removed, inspected and checked impedance, approx 10 ohms. Both thermal elements on the element housing tested 0 ohm
Hi Larry, just to let you know for your "data bank", I fixed the problem last night. After some googeling, I found a possible sourch with is a stuck motor switch. When the drum speeds up, it lifts a mechanical lever which breaks a mechanical sensor mounted under the lever which opens power to the coils. Sometimes, dust builds up in this area and causes the sensor not to activate. The solution was simply to vacuum clean the area and the machine worked!
Glad I did not invest in the PCB board and by the way it is located inside the machine, just under the top cover.

Did You Really Get A Cabin Upgrade?
Written by: David Beers
By Dave Beers (CruiseReviews Editor) – So you just booked your first cruise and they are giving you a two category upgrade! You got a great deal, right? Well maybe not. Indeed, it is likely you were lured by a lofty and largely meaningless sales gimmick.
I have long been bothered by the misuse and misunderstanding of the word "upgrade". It rarely means what it implies, yet too many cruisers go through various stages of rapture when told they received an upgrade. Someone receives an e-mail from the cruise line which touts special savings with upgrades and people will take the hook and book. They either fail to read the fine print, or even bother to look at the cabin category descriptions.
"Book a category 6A and automatically get upgraded to a category 6C". Sounds nice doesn't it? But what is it really? In most cases, that upgrade is merely a move to an identical cabin on a different deck. Using Carnival as an example, getting an upgrade can mean booking a 6A cabin on the Riviera Deck of the Fantasy and being moved to a 6C cabin directly above you on the Main Deck. But the cabins are internally identical. 185 square feet. Same beds. Same bathroom. Same everything except for the category assignment. Oh, but they do charge more for the 6C so therein lays the shell game aspect of the upgrade. The cruise line can look you straight in the eye and say you were upgraded to a more expensive cabin.
The prospective cruiser who thinks they can book an inside cabin and will be immediately upgraded to a balcony cabin is dreaming. Those you encounter on a ship who brag that they get huge upgrades all the time, and in fact they were upgraded from an inside cabin to an owners suite this time, are lying and need to go back to their inside cabin and rethink their lives.
The typical upgrade is going to remain within basic categories and will rarely be a genuine upgrade. Standard inside cabin to another standard inside cabin, standard balcony cabin to another standard balcony cabin, etc. One of the forum moderators calls it being "updecked", and that in many cases is a more accurate description although you can also be "downdecked" too since some ships have more expensive categories spread all over the place. You see, there is a reason why cruise lines have so many categories. The more of something you have, the more likely it will confuse. Not to pick on Carnival, but recently they changed many of their cabin category names, and split previous categories up into more categories. Princess, NCL, and Royal Caribbean are also infamous for their seemingly endless categories. The Caribbean Princess has 35 cabin categories. The new Norwegian Epic has 38. The Oasis Of The Seas has 37.
A true upgrade to me means going to a cabin which offers something you don't have in your original cabin. Gaining more space. Getting a balcony. Getting a bathtub. Those are upgrades. And, they do happen. All cruise lines have tightened up on upgrades over the past couple of years, and they often require approval from a surprisingly high level of management.
The best chances of getting a real upgrade are to either be a high end member of the cruise line loyalty club, or to book a cabin category guarantee. I know a person who had done close to 40 cruises with Royal Caribbean before he finally got upgraded. In his case he was moved from a standard balcony cabin to a Grand Suite. Pretty nice upgrade. But then, look at all the money he'd spent with the cruise line over the years.
Those who book a guarantee will get at least the category they booked, but do have a better chance of moving to truly better category. Another option is the "upsell", which seems to be more frequently used by NCL than other lines. With the upsell, you are offered a nicer cabin for an extra fee. This can often be far less than if you booked the better cabin outright, and thus an upsell is often a good deal.
My advice to those who booked a specific cabin category, with an assigned cabin number, is to not get fixated on getting an upgrade. It likely isn't going to happen or be meaningful. It is wise to remember that cruise lines do things for monetary reasons and are not in business to be philanthropic. If they were, I wouldn't own stock in them.
I don't play the upgrade game. I pick a specific cabin, by number, and book it. If the cruise line approaches me about moving, I'll entertain their proposal if it truly offers me something worthwhile. Otherwise, I prefer to stay put.
Do you like playing the upgrade game, or is picking a specific cabin and sticking with it your approach?

So true – just another gimmick. Very well put, Dave. This one, however, does actually look like an upgrade. (even if it isn't.)
An "upgrade" to a higher deck is really a "downgrade" for people who get seasick, because lower decks are more stable – if you happen to hit high water (which is rare).
But it is an upgrade in the sense that you are with the people who paid more (but arguably only because they are easily fooled). The cabins are still identical.
At least it is better than the brochures they print that advertise half-off brochure price and list the brochure price AND the sale price in the brochure.
I mean if it is in the brochure it is the price. It's a sale when it is less-then what they print as the price you pay in brochure.

Time August 9, 2010 at 7:39 am
Ah yes, the half-off "2 for 1" sales ploy. I know the brochures you are referring to and they are ridiculous. It seems to be popular with premium cruise lines to use that approach.

Lewis Hamilton may have had some regrets already about his decision to join Mercedes next season, according to his McLaren Formula One team principal Martin Whitmarsh.
In an interview with the official Formula One website (www.formula1.com), the Briton also said Mexican Sergio Perez probably did not know what is about to hit him as Hamilton's replacement.
"I think he has on occasions, yes," said Whitmarsh when asked whether 2008 world champion Hamilton, who is replacing retiring seven-times champion Michael Schumacher at Mercedes, might have regretted his decision.
"Probably, when you make a decision you have to tell yourself that the decision is made so you have to look forward. You say okay, that it is in the past so you don't spend too much time thinking about why."
Mercedes have won one race, in China this year, since they took over the title-winning Brawn GP team at the end of 2009.
McLaren have won five grands prix this season alone and are the second most successful team in terms of wins in the history of the sport.
Whitmarsh said it would be an emotional farewell with Hamilton after the last race of the season in Brazil later this month and added that there had been some such moments already since the driver decided to leave.
"I hope he thinks today that he's made an awful mistake and I hope he thinks that next year. He's made that decision and he has to live with that decision," said the principal.
Perez is joining from Sauber, where he has had three podium finished this season but has also failed to score a point in the four races since his move was announced.
He will be joining 2009 world champion Jenson Button at McLaren and Whitmarsh expected the 22-year-old to learn everything he could from the older Briton.
"When Sergio gets to Australia (for the first race) in 2013 he will arrive with the kind of pressure that he can't imagine right now," said the team boss.
"At the first race, if he is not on the first two rows and fighting for a win the pressure will start to ramp. He doesn't know that yet."
Whitmarsh said Perez could expect to spend a lot less time in Mexico and a lot more in the simulator, working with engineers and on improving his fitness.
"He will turn up considerably fitter and stronger than he is today," he said of next season."
The team boss repeated his view, expressed at the weekend in Abu Dhabi, that while he expected Perez to get the job done he could not be sure of how good he might be.
"You come to McLaren and you've got the scrutiny and the pressure," he said. "And you either do well and survive, or he will struggle. You asked me if we are 100 percent sure that he's the right man for us - I can't be.
"He has not always been consistent and maybe he has been a bit wild sometimes, but he has sparkled. The really good guys, they always find an opportunity to be there and do it," added Whitmarsh.
"Natural talent got him to where he is now and now we really will turn him into a professional racing driver, properly prepared." -Reuters

Beginning this month, Cutter Aviation will assume FBO operations from WingsPoint Aviation Services at McKinney Airport in McKinney, Texas. The facility is the seventh for the family-operated chain. Will Cutter, CEO, said, "This is a strategic move for Cutter that expands our FBO 'footprint' throughout the Southwest."
Cutter also has locations in Albuquerque, N.M.; Deer Valley and Phoenix, Ariz.; and El Paso, Dallas and San Antonio, Texas.
CEO Cutter believes the acquisition of the WingsPoint leasehold is a step in the right direction. "As of 1991, more than a dozen of the world's largest companies have moved their headquarters to the [McKinney Airport] area. As more companies have come to McKinney to do business, more have stayed. In fact, 86 percent of the companies in the Richardson, Plano and Allen corridor are closer to McKinney than they are to Dallas airports." Cutter Aviation is also a member of the Pinnacle Air Network group of FBOs.

Nothing specialWhen I saw it said "Ouchless" I thought it would be the answer to all my problems! I got really excited because they were so cheap and I assumed they would be easy to work with because of the ouchless part. Little did I know after trying them out a few times, they aren't special. They are similar if not worse then generic ones or no name brands, I hurt a bit to take it out and they held the same a...read mores regulars. I just did not see a difference in any other ones.

GoodyI don't think I purchase any other hair elastics any more. These elastics don't pull your hair.

Samsung to throw $3.6 billion at bolstering logic-IC portfolio
Post a comment
Having aspired for years to balance its DRAM-heavy portfolio with logic ICs that would account for as much as 40% of revenue, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. last week earmarked $3.6 billion in R&D funding to carry out the plan.
The five-year plan is said to be aimed at lifting Samsung's System LSI business into the top five logic-IC suppliers and reducing the company's exposure to the volatile DRAM market.
A company spokesman confirmed the spending plan, but details were not readily available.
By itself, Samsung's System LSI unit would be considered a major semiconductor market presence. Published reports put System LSI revenue at $1.4 billion in 2001, almost a quarter of Samsung's total revenue.
A leading supplier of 8-bit microcontrollers, display ICs, SRAM, flash, and smartcard controllers, the division nevertheless has remained in the shadow of Samsung's massive DRAM business.
While this is not the first time Samsung has committed substantial resources to expanding its logic-chip business, analysts speculated that the Seoul, South Korea-based company has simply grown weary of the memory market's price instability.
One market watcher wondered how much longer Samsung and its main DRAM rival, Micron Technology Inc., can continue to do battle as memory manufacturers.
"I don't know how long a company like Samsung can afford to stay in DRAM and still be a significant player in the semiconductor market," said Brian Matas, an analyst at IC Insights Inc., Scottsdale, Ariz.
"I think the depth and duration of this DRAM downturn has taken a lot of fringe players away, and even some not-so-fringe players, and has put a lot of pressure on the leaders. It behooves them now to look at other avenues for revenue," Matas said.
Just as once-dominant Japanese DRAM makers have sought stability in system-on-chip and other noncommodity arenas, so eventually will Korean suppliers, Matas asserted.
Like its Japanese counterparts, Samsung has a wealth of manufacturing process technology and know-how that it can use to support its System LSI push, he said.

Awesome cruise!: Carnival Liberty Cruise Review by jasmed0209
Overall Member Rating
Awesome cruise!
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
This was my second cruise I had ever been on. First cruise was back in 2004 on Royal Caribbean when I was in high school. At the time of this cruise, I was 23 years old and I took my 20 year old girlfriend. My best friend from elementary, middle, and high school also went with us, who was also 23, along with his 26 year old girlfriend. None of them had ever been on a cruise before. I could go on forever talking about how much fun we had on this cruise and More how it was probably one of the best times of our lives.
Surprisingly, this was not bad at all. The entire time we were driving to Miami, I kept thinking this was going to be an extremely long and drawn out process because everyone is going to be trying to get on this ship at the same time and was dreading waiting in long lines. However, it was nothing like that. We walked into the port and found that there was hardly even a line. We walked right up and were called over by a female attendant, who was extremely friendly and made it a point to keep us smiling and laughing the whole time. We were on the ship in less than 15 minutes, enjoying the decor and puerto rican music that they had playing with a live band on the Lido Deck. We chose the Debarkation process, which allowed us to carry our own luggage off the ship on the last day and it couldn't have gone any smoother. We were off the ship in probably 15-20 minutes max.
Unbelievable! we could not walk past a staff member on this ship without them stopping what they were doing and greeting us and asking if there was anything we needed. Our room steward was amazing and couldn't have done a better job. Every morning when we woke up, he was in the hallway cleaning other rooms and would always greet us with a smile and a "good morning!". When we would come back from breakfast to get ready to get off the ship for a day on the beach, our room was already clean! That is service you won't find in many other places!
Our waiters in the dining room were awesome as well. By the second night at dinner, our waiters and waitresses had our names memorized and knew exactly what we wanted to drink and even remembered how much we loved the chocolate lava cake and asked if we wanted to have another. We were so amazed by his memorization of everything and every one's names, that we decided one of the times to mix everything up and we all sat in different positions. To our amazement, our waiter approached to table to greet us and GOT ALL OF OUR NAMES CORRECT as he was passing out our napkins, silverware, and EXACTLY what we always ordered to drink! Not to mention, the food was phenomenal! They even took the time to get a picture with us on the last night and to thank us for being there and letting him serve us. We definitely left them an extra tip at the end of this trip!
The first day we boarded this ship and went to the Lido Deck, we were approached by one of the roving bartenders and asked if we would all like something to drink. Of course, we ordered a drink and he went on his way. Because of how friendly and bubbly this guy was, we made it a point that anytime we wanted an alcoholic drink, we found him and made sure he got the sale. By the end of that night, anytime he saw us, he would smile really big, come up and shake our hands and ask how our cruise was going. He would ask if we wanted anything and if we did, he made sure we got it and if we weren't in the mood at that moment, he would still smile and tell us to just let him know when we were ready. One of the nights we went to a comedy show and saw this same bartender roving around with drinks at the show. He saw us, remembered us, and made it a point to come say hello and he actually sat and talked to us for a while. I didn't ever feel like they were pushy at all and them, along with all the other staff members, just did what they had to in order to make you feel comfortable.
Luckily, with our cruise, everyone seemed to be in a great mood and were always really friendly and fun to talk to. We met a father and his younger son in the hot tub one night and talked for hours! We were constantly meeting new people and when we would see them out on the island or around the ship at night, they would always smile and ask how we were doing. Felt good that you could be so far away from home and thrown in with thousands of people you don't even know, but have such a good time with them.
WOW! from the moment we stepped on this ship, we couldn't believe anything we saw. The atrium was beautiful, the rooms were spacious and quiet, the pool deck was relaxing, and there were constantly employees running around the ship cleaning. I never found a dirty part of this ship. I did see where there was some wear and tear though, such as the long strand of lights that go across the Lido deck at night and some other small defects, but who cares? Nothing is going to be absolutely PERFECT, but you have to be able to enjoy having the opportunity to go on a vacation like this.
The shows were very good! We didn't go see a whole lot of shows, but we did go see our Fun Ship guy speak several times and saw a few of the comedy shows, which were absolutely hilarious!
I would recommend Carnival Cruise Lines to anyone who asks! The ship was beautiful, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall vacation was something that myself, my girlfriend (who is now my fiance!), and my friends will never forget. None of us were ready to Debark the ship after 7 days and actually, asked one of the staff members on our way out, which way we need to go to get back on because we had a great time! If you ever have a chance to go on a cruise, don't hesitate to choose Carnival just because of the whiny people you see posting comments on this site. Think about it, some of these people say "this is my 20th cruise with Carnival and this is the first time I have ever had trouble and I will never be back!" come on people, if you've been on 20 cruises with a company, somethings bound to go wrong at some point. Doesn't mean it's a bad cruise line. just means they're human too! nothing is always going to be perfect! If it is, good for you! Less

Product Description
The Unites States Air Force (USAF) WWII Roundel is a variation of the US Army Air Corps Roundel and has been used on US Military aircraft since 1941.
The US Roundel was designed to coordinate with the color and style of roundels used by French and British allies at the time. After the Pearl Harbor in 1941, however, the red circle in the center of the star was removed in order to distance any resemblance to the Japanese flag. This resulted in the white star within the U.S. Stripes logo, which is seen on all US military aircraft today.
- Burnt Yellow
- 100% brushed cotton twill cap
- Felt appliqué logo with direct embroidery
- Red Canoe logo and woven US flag patch on back of cap

New Kids on the Block Cruise Questions
Written by: Paul Motter
News broke in major newspapers; People.com, USA Today, New York Post. The hot boy band, New Kids on the Block, will be performing a concert on a cruise ship.
What was odd was that the announcement came out with hardly any details, and what details there were turned out to be incorrect. Other parts of the announcement were just odd, as in the official statement, "Our manager tells us this is not a cheesy thing," and "this is not a step back.
All of the original news stories did not name the ship or cruise line. They also said the ship would sail May 15th from Ft Lauderdale to Nassau on a 3-day cruise. Well, there are no regular cruise ships sailing three day cruises out of Ft Lauderdale, except the Regal Empress, which despite the "Yes We Can Cruise" plans (can I get an update on that please?) is actually a pretty cheesy ship.
Not a cheesy thing? Not a step back? This is what their manager told them about during a concert on a cruise ship. No reason why it should be, it isn't the venue that makes a concert cheesy, it is the audience you draw. Still, such is the stigma of cruise ship entertainment that they felt the qualifier was necessary. Hey – they aren't playing to the regular cruisers, this is a ship charter. Anyway…
There are also other news reports currently about the NKOTB former manager, Robert Perlman of Orlando, Florida, who was a shyster running a ponzi scheme that only Madoff could scoff at. Perlman bilked investors out of 150 million dollars by selling them shares in the boy bands, a non-existent airline and a retirement plan whose statements literally were not worth the paper they were printed on.
So, now the New Kids have New Management, and they are promoting a concert on a cruise ship. For the record, the actual ship scheduled is Carnival Imagination sailing out of Miami. Close enough? I suppose.
But, the questions remain – this is a band that once filled stadiums, and they don't even rate a bigger and newer ship? Even the Beatles tribute band, Beatlemania Live (not the original Broadway cast, but still a very good band) rates Mariner of the Seas, a ship twice the size of Carnival Imagination, and built in the 21st century as opposed to the 1980s.
Anyway, a check of prices on the NKOTB cruise page shows every single category is sold out, except one – the 6E oceanview Deck 7. The price? $1449 for two people. Pricy for a 3-day cruise, but not for spending three days with the object of millions of teenage girls' fantasies. A music cruise usually means surprisingly good access to the artists onboard. I'm going on the smooth jazz cruise next week myself, for about that much per person, but I get a week on the Westerdam and some 30 talented jazz artists.
I just have to wonder, new manager for NKOTB. Is it too late to switch to a bigger ship? You sold this out in three days. I also have to ask other musical acts, "Hey, do you get it?" Do you have any idea how much money you can make selling 3-day cruises for $725 oceanview per person.
Yes, you have to pay the band, but these boys used to work for $500/month when Perlman was in charge. They now have a new manager, so they get a bigger piece of the action. Next time, get a bigger ship.

There are so many fans that will not be attending this cruise, but what does the "1st Annual NKOTB Cruise" actually mean on the confirmation emails we received? It was so overwhelming for the travel agency responsible for booking the cruise that the website crashed! How many other entertainers could sell a cruise out in 3 days on such a small ship with such high prices?

I think this a good trend in cruising. I've looked into several concert cruises and most sell out quickly. Imagine how fast a band like U2 or the Stones would sell out. I think they could sell out a ship as large as Oasis.

THe price was $1449 PER PERSON for that room/deck. I went on the cruise and we paid $1099 PER PERSON for no view, double occupancy.
When I first looked at getting tickets, the lowest price was $799 per person, double occupancy and for no view. So, you have your info wrong. Yes, it was expensive, but to me it was WORTH IT!

I think the point of having it on a ship this size is so that it can be more of an intimate setting. Granted, I wish the ship was newer as well. But not bigger.

There is now an online petition that you can sign.
Friends of An Grianán AGM will be held in An Grianán on Saturday next, 24th June 2017 @ 3.00 pm.
We are delighted to announce that we have partnered with Nurture, a charity providing counselling and support to ICA members.
The Challenge - Cook a delicious, nutritious and simple chicken dish in 21 minutes or less.
The Prize - €2,000 and a Manor Farm gift hamper.
Please see the list of Federations below
When you join the ICA you join a local Guild
Our Guilds range in size from a handful to 120 plus members. The beauty of the Guild format is that each Guild is autonomous, taking part in activities which interest their members. Each Guild holds meetings usually on a monthly basis, but some Guilds have additional craft classes and meet weekly. So when women enquire about joining us we always talk to them about their interests and endeavour to match them to a Guild which participates in the activities which interest them. If the first Guild you try is not for you, we are confident that we can introduce you to a Guild which will be perfect for you.
Each Guild is a part of a county committee which we call Federations
The Federation Committees also hold meetings up to 5 times a year including an AGM. Federation meetings are an opportunity for members of local Guilds to meet each other and exchange views and share information as well as take part in Federation initiatives and competitions. Members of Federation committees are often involved in other local county initiatives and often sit on focus groups in County Council sub-committees and other community groups active in that county.

A WAVE of crime has hit Tyldesley town centre.
Staff and customers at Ladbrokes betting shop on Elliott Street were shocked when a man wielding an iron bar burst in and threatened staff and stole cash.
The robber entered the shop at about 7.25pm on Thursday when there were two customers inside. He went up to the cashier and hit the metal bar against the counter and demanded cash. Money was handed over and the man walked out.
He is described as being white, slim, about 5ft 9in tall, and in his mid to late 20s. He wore a grey/blue hooded top and white gloves, which could have been be cyclist's or cricketer's style. A light coloured scarf covered the lower part of his face and he used a laced JD Sports bag to carry the money.
Detective Constable Andrew Hill said: "Thankfully nobody was hurt although those affected have been badly shaken up.
"Clearly this man has no issues in intimidating members of the public and members of staff to get what he wants. I would urge any witnesses who could help us to get in touch."
Less than 24 hours later an employee at Greenhalgh's confectioners shop on the Market Square was robbed as she took the shop takings to the Lloyds TSB bank next door.
The robber snatched her bag containing cash and ran off. A motorist who stopped his car to intervene and gave chase but the thief escaped.
In another incident further west along Elliott Street a raider with a knife went into The Weekender off licence and demanded cash.
In the case of the Greenhalgh's and The Weekender incidents neither Greater Manchester Police nor the management of the businesses had responded to the Journal's request for a response by the time we went to press.
A town centre trader, who asked not to be indentified, told the Journal: "This is not something that we are familiar with in Tyldesley. It has made people more conscious and more wary and some traders are now considering upgrading security."
Opportunist thieves took advantage of scaffolding outside Tyldesley Library in Stanley Street to steal lead flashing from the roof. The steelwork was erected to enable workmen to repair guttering on the library building.
A spokesman for Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust said: "During the weekend a 10 metre length of lead flashing was stolen from the roof of the Library.
"Police have been informed about the theft and are investigating.
"The subsequent heavy rainfall has caused some damage inside to a small number of books and the carpet. "work is now due to take place to repair the flashing with a non lead based material.
"We would encourage anyone with any information to contact police."
Anyone with any information is asked to call police on 0161 856 5307 or call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

MAEBASHI – A surge in the Japanese deer population in Oze National Park has led to the depletion of rare marshland plants such as the white arum, or Asian skunk cabbage, which has made the park a popular destination for hikers.
Earlier this summer, the skunk cabbage colony along the Shimono-ohori River, one of the best locations for taking photos, showed signs of damage from deer. There was also visible damage to plants near a section of boardwalk in the Ryugu Crossroad section of the park.
"It's a shame that the most popular spot in this park has been damaged," said Kazuo Matsuura, the 74-year-old chairman of a local mountain guides association in Katashina, Gunma Prefecture.
"No damage had been seen in the area along the Shimono-ohori River before," Matsuura said. "Deer seem to change their habitat every year."
Deer were first seen in the park, which straddles Fukushima, Tochigi, Gunma and Niigata prefectures, in the mid-1990s, according to Matsuura and the Gunma Prefectural Government.
Every spring, deer come from the Nikko area in Tochigi, on the east side of the park, after the snow melts.
The population has apparently ballooned because deer have few natural predators and hunters in the area are aging and on the decline.
The damage to local plants became more pronounced around 2009, according to the local government. They stomp on the marsh and rub their bodies on the ground to wipe mites off, which damages the surrounding plants.
Both the Environment Ministry and the Gunma Prefectural Government installed deer traps in the park, catching 148 in the spring and fall of 2013, and 152 this spring alone.
Since many of those captured were pregnant females, traps had some effect in controlling the population, according to an official with the prefectural government.
However, not everyone thinks the deer pose a major problem. One hiker said they "don't actually feel that the damage is so severe."
Sumio Hagiwara, the 60-year-old owner of a mountain lodge near the Ryugu Crossroad, said he believes the damage has declined compared to previous years "and that is probably because of the (local government's) trapping."
The Gunma Prefectural Government official said "we have no idea how many deer we need to capture, and we just need to keep hunting them."

From the very first page, Sam Bateman, the protagonist of The Holden Age of Hollywood,reminded me of a hard-boiled detective, a post-modern Philip Marlowe. In fact, Phil Brody's style of writing has been called "neo-noir", a term, I assumed coined to describe this modern-day film-noir type. I loved the snappy dialogue and the footnotes explaining screenwriting jargon and Hollywood "in-jokes" for those of us not in the know.
Only a phenomenal writer could write so many bad script synopses so hilariously well. And Phil Brody is that evil genius.

I Don't Like Mondays
The silicon chip inside her head gets switched to overload.
And nobody's gonna go to school today, she's going to make them stay at home. - from the song, I Don't Like Mondays by The Boomtown Rats.
On January 29, 1979, sixteen year old Brenda Spencer used a rifle to shoot eight children, injure a policeman, and kill the school principal and a custodian, at the Grover Cleveland Elementary School in San Diego, California. She lived in squalor across the street from the school with her father after her parents separated.
Brenda Spencer was a troubled youth who hated school and was often truant. In early 1978, Spencer was ordered to attend a special school for problem children and the staff told her father that she was depressed and suicidal. She even told acquaintances that she didn't like police and even talked about killing one. She also said that she wanted to do something big to get on television. In the summer of 1978, Brenda Spencer was arrested for shooting birds in her neighborhood with a BB gun and for also shooting out some windows at the Grover Cleveland Elementary school.
In December of 1978, Brenda Spencer's probation officer ordered her to undergo psychiatric counseling for her depressed state of mind and the psychiatrist recommended that she be put in a mental institution but her father refused to allow it. Later on, while she was incarcerated after the school shooting, she underwent tests and it was determined that there was damage to her front temporal lobe of her brain, caused due to a bicycle accident she had when she was younger. She had asked her father for a radio for Christmas but he got her a .22 caliber rifle with a scope instead. When asked why her father did this, she said that she didn't know but thought it was because her father wanted her to kill herself.
The children at the school were standing outside that January morning, waiting for the principal to open up the gate to let them into the school. After the shooting, she had barricaded herself inside the house for hours. a reporter got through to her on the telephone while barricaded in the house. The reporter asked her why she did it and her reply was, I don't like Mondays. It livens up the day.
Brenda Spencer was tried as an adult and was convicted of two counts of murder and assault with a deadly weapon, after pleading guilty and was sentenced to 25 years to life. Her last parole hearing was in 2009 and was denied. The Parole Board said that the next time she would be eligible is in 2019.
Bob Geldof, songwriter and lead singer of the Boomtown Rats, read that she had this and he began writing the song based on her answer. The song went to number one in the group's native Ireland but never broke the Top 40 in the United States. The song did get extensive radio play though and the Spencer family tried to get it off of the radio, to no avail.

text: Economy 11 July 2012 The Books Interview: Matthew Collins The author of "Hate: My Life in the British Far Right" explains what drives people towards extremist groups like the BNP and the National Front. Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML You joined the National Front as a teenager in the late 1980s, but became disillusioned after taking part in a BNP attack on an anti-racist meeting in south London. Was that a moment of revelation, or part of a more gradual process? I wasn't a stranger to violence. But that was the moment when I realised that actually, I wasn't fighting Red Action [anti-fascist militants] at a tube station, I was kicking little old ladies' heads in. With very young brains, it takes things a long while to sink in, but that was my starting point, the first time ever I just thought 'this is what it looks like'. By that point your whole social life was structured around the NF... From the age of about 15 I was a social pariah. I remember girls who I used to go to school with who were in love with Wham!. They had Wham!, George Michael, Take That - whatever - to talk about. And I had the National Front. Had you found it hard to make friends at school? No, I had no problem making friends. Good friends, nice people. But I thought they didn't understand me and I wanted to shock them. Also I was racist, beyond belief. You suggest in your memoir that you picked up racist attitudes from your father, who left the family home when you were a young child. He was an Irish immigrant who [himself] suffered discrimination and I just felt why should my dad suffer that. And why should I suffer that? Was I the first person in this country to say I'm white and I'm working class and I'm getting a raw deal because of it? Actually I'm not. You grew up on a council estate in south London. Did your family they feel at all like you were sticking up for them – working-class whites – in any way? No, there was no racism at home. My dad wasn't at home, you understand. My family were like, isn't life just hard enough without this? But the left never came knocking on my door, offering me an alternative. Do you feel you were let down by the left? My school was mixed, and middle-class teachers lectured us about anti-racism, but no-one ever affirmed it was ok to be where we were from. They were all going on about diversity, let's celebrate your neighbour who is different to you. Well, why not celebrate class? We're all going home to dads on the dole tomorrow. Did you come to share the anti-Semitism of committed far-right activists? Oh yeah. All that anger you're feeling, all that disappointment – that's the Jews doing that to you. Thank god! Thank god it's someone. It wasn't my hormones that were making me horny nine hours a day, it was the Jews doing it! Thank god for that. Why were the BNP able to win votes in the 2000s? New Labour thought that this country would work on the strength of faith communities. How do we connect with the Asians in Bradford? Through their mosques. How do we connect with the Sikh Asian community? Through the gurdwara. This country used to have an Asian youth movement, of all faiths, that were opposed to fascism, but the only way to get ahead under New Labour was to go to your temple or your church or whatever. White working-class people don't go to church. If you want to talk to the white working class who do you talk to? Paul Gascoine? Ebay? Who? No-one. That's where [BNP leader] Nick Griffin came in: identity politics. He exploited the lack of leadership among the white working class. Labour's current enthusiasm for "Englishness" seems like a roundabout way of addressing this oversight. It's shit. You can print that. Listen, sexual equality in parliament, excellent. BME representation, fantastic. Quite rightly so. But all of these things would have been covered by actually having class equality in parliament. How about getting some working-class people in there? You fled Britain for several years after exposing the neo-Nazi group Combat 18 in a 1993 TV documentary. Since your return, you've been an anti-fascist campaigner. Did you feel obliged to do that? Not obliged, I wanted to do it. I hated them – the BNP, National Front, C18, EDL. Every time I hear their rubbish, I hate them. And then you began writing a memoir. Had you kept a diary? Well, because I was a mole [passing on information to the anti-fascist magazine Searchlight], there were notes. But it was a nightmare to write. I couldn't write, I didn't know how. It was just a jumbled mess. And it was really painful – some things I left out were unbearable. The book has to tread a fine line between making people understand your motivations and chasing sympathy. I've been as honest as I could ever be. I wouldn't do it again. For an autobiography you need two things, I was told by a colleague: you need two dead parents. My mum's read the book, she's never commented on it. She just said: "well done".

Individual Cheesecakes
Recipe by KathleenP
I made these to take to a potluck. Basically, it's a classic cheesecake recipe made into individual servings. I had several people ask for the recipe. You can top with whatever your favorite cheesecake topping is. The water in the lower pan helps to keep the cheesecakes creamy.
Top Review by Chef on the coast
First of all I will say I had the computer change the ingredient size from 18 cheesecakes to 6 cheesecakes. The cooking time wasn't nearly the 50 minutes called for. They were done in about 30-35 minutes. I served these with recipe #306664 . My boys and I give this an "Oh yeah!" They loved it hands down! I have never made a "real" cheesecake before as they intimidated me with the springform pan. I like doing it with the mini graham crusts. A lot. I will be making this again. Thanks for sharing! Made for the Spring 2009 PAC.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 18 miniature graham cracker pie crusts (Keebler makes a package of 6 for around $2)
- 2.5 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 8 tablespoons sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1⁄2 cup sour cream
- 1⁄4 cup flour
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Fill 9x13 pan with water and place on lower rack of oven.
- Combine cream cheese with sugar, beat until fluffy.
- Add whole eggs, then beat until smooth.
- Add egg yolks, beat again until smooth.
- Add vanilla, lemon juice, lemon juice, sour cream and flour, beat until smooth.
- Using large serving spoon, fill individual graham cracker crusts with batter.
- Place filled crusts on a baking sheet, and place on middle rack of oven. Cook approximately 50 minutes, until firm. Remove from oven, cool on wire rack. Top with topping of your choice- fresh or frozen fruit, warmed jam, or canned pie filling (I like strawberry or blueberry). Another option is to make a "turtle" cheesecake, with a layer of caramel sauce on the bottom of the crust before filling with the batter, then when cooked cheesecakes are not quite cool, spread the top with warmed hot fudge sauce, thin lines of caramel sauce (ice cream topping works great), and then chopped pecans or walnuts.

Around the World
New York
On the day of June 21, 2013 around the time of 9:30 am in the morning on my way to the DIA, after I packed my bags. I couldn't wait to start my trip to go around the world. My first stop was New York. I landing in New York around 1:00 pm in JKF airport. I got all my stuff and headed to rent a car, then find a hotel to stay in for a couple of nights.I did some research on the airplane about New York I found out that there are 9,541,453 people that live in New York.New york is only 654,556 square miles big and that many people live her. New York is located the northern region in the USA. Its borders are New Jersey and Pennsylvania to the south. To the east is Vermont and Massachusetts. The Atlantic Ocean and The great lakes are the bodies of water that surround New York. They are just like here in Denver they use USA dollars and there language is English. They have very warm and humid summers but in the winter it is really cold. I'm glad I came in the summer so it's all nice and sunny outside temperature about 90 degrees. Since the weather was so warm I went to look at the Empire State building, Time Square and the Statue of Liberty. On the last day of being in New York I went shopping at a couple of stores. I stop at Areopostale to get some shirts. Then went to Aldo to go get some shoes because they have a way better selection then we do living in New York. Then later that day i head back to the airport to go caught my next flight to The Bahamas.
I landed in the Bahamas on June 26,2013 I don't remember the time because I had fall asleep on the plane so i wasn't keeping track of time. It must have been sometime in the morning because all the stores were barely opening and not that many people were walking around. I quickly rented a car and set out to go find a nice hotel to stay in for a couple of night that I will be here. In the meantime I decided to do a little research on where I was exactly at. I found out that there are 13,878 people on this island and it is only 5,358 square miles big. It is located North to Cuba, Dominican Republic, and Northwest of Turks and Caicos Islands. The United States is located Southeast and the ocean that surrounds it is the Atlantic. They speak mostly English here, and there summers are beautiful, nice and warm temperatures. They also have hurricanes that pass all summer long. It hurricane season for them.There winters are snowy mixed with rain but never get lower then 37 degrees. I am so glad that I came in the nice and warm summer time. I hate cold weather. I also learned that there Gross Domestic Product per capita is 256,473 and there total is 9,020 billion. I went swimming all day long on the beaches and went to a few nice places to eat. I saw a couple of different shows and meet some new people. I had to head back to the hotel and pack because I was catching a flight to Chile at 3am in the morning. It had fun in the Bahamas but I must keep moving if i want to make it to all the other country too.
That was one long airplane ride that I have ever took so far. I slept more then half way and I still that it was a long ride.I arrived in Chile around 12pm on July 2, 2013. As I was on my way over here I had even time to do some research on Chile.It is located next to Peru ,and Bolivia to northeast. the body of water next to it is Pacific Ocean. I found out that there are 17,063,00 people that live here. It is 2,700 square miles down and across is 109 miles. There GDP per capita is 10,025 and there total is 161,781. They speak Spanish so when I arrived I had a really hard time understanding people but lucky I had found a girl who spoke English and she helped me out. Since there currency is not the same as American dollars I had to change my dollars into Peso so I could buy things. While being there I went to a few nice dinning places to eat. I enjoyed going skiing it was really fun, and easy to learn. I have never been skiing so i really liked it. Even though I live in Denver where the rocky mountains are, I have never tried to go skiing. The view from over here was very pretty and relaxing compared to all the traveling I am doing. I stayed a couple of extra nights to enjoy the hotel I was staying at. I went swimming all day and just relaxed out by the pool. Then finally after staying a week an a half I had to go to the airport and caught my flight to Brazil.
I landed July 10,2013 around the time 2:30pm and was very excited to go see what Brazil had. While I was waiting for my rental car to be ready I pulled out my blackberry to do a little research information on the country I was in. Brazil is located next to all the country's expect Ecuador, and Chile. The Atlantic ocean is to the east of Brazil. There GDP per capita is 10,513 and total is 2,013. They have a population of 192,272,890 people who live here. It is 3,287,597 square miles big and they speak Portuguese so I couldn't understand anything anyone was saying. I also had to go exchange my money for Real because they didn't except dollars are Peso. Since it was still summer it was around 77 degree with felt really good. They have cool winters with some snow falls. I walked around this little city called Pará it was a nice city not to big or small. It had some really nice little shopping centers and nice restaurants. There food was very different but it wasn't bad it was just different from what I was use to. I visited a couple of place then went back to my hotel to pack my stuff to head to the airport and catch a flight to Ireland.
I really enjoyed my flight to Ireland it was very quiet and relaxing. This was my first time experiencing this so I enjoyed it to the fullest. I decided to research the country before I got there this time. It is east to Great Britain, and surround by hundreds of island all around. The Atlantic Ocean and Celtic Sea is the body of water to surround it.It is 32,595 square miles and has 6,197,000 people that live here. There GDP per capita is 41,000 and there currency is Euro/North Pound Sterling. I made sure to research there primary language and I was so happy when it was English.It was July 17,2013 around 6:00pm. As I closed my Laptop the airplane was getting ready to land so I got my things ready. As I gotten off I headed straight to the rental place to rent a car for the time I was going to be there. Then I drove around town to look for a nice and quiet hotel to stay at. I found one it was a nice one in a little city. the first day I just stayed at the hotel and got situated. then I went out and did some stuff. I went to a few store for food and then got some stuff I needed . Then went to a nice place for dinner and desert. The next couple of days I went out and went golfing, it is really popular out there. There was this really nice spa I found just by walk around. After a couple of days of shopping and look at the different culture thing they have. I had to get back to the hotel before I missed my flight, so I hurried and packed my bag and headed again to the airport. My next stop was Jordan
I didn't sleep much while I was in Ireland so all I did was sleep on the airplane the whole time. From the time I had got on to the time i heard the pilot announce that we had arrived. While waiting for my rental car to meet me at the airport I put out my phone and did my usually research on the county. I had studied it once in school but I really didn't know much on it. It is located southeast to Saudi, and Arabia, Iraq is to east and Syria to the North.Palestinian Territories and Isreal is to the west also with the Jordan river going through the country. I stopped by a couple of place before I checked into my hotel. I took a tour of the dead seas and it was a nice beautiful experience that I was so happy I got to see this. I've really never got to look at a river like this how they knew so much about it. I went on another tour to the desert and it was very hot and dry. I really didn't like that but it was something I did to say I've did it. I hung out at the hotel the remain time that i was there. I was busy taking to my dad telling him how it was out here and how much I liked traveling. Then finally I had to pack to go catch my flight to Thailand.
This was another long airplane ride so I decided to read a book and watch movies. But I still had enough time to do my research about Thailand. It is located southern Asia and its boarders are Burma, Laos to the north, to the east is Cambodia. the bodies of water that surround it is Gulf of Thailand and west is Andaman Sea. There are 65,998,436 people living here with a 198,115 square miles of land. There most spoken language is Thai and there currency is Baht. Another thing to know is GDP per capita and it is 3,939 and there total is 263.871 billion. By the time I landed I had already knew where I was going. After I got my car and my hotel I drove off to where all the shops are. This is where they make a lot of stuff that the US buy but here you get it way cheaper. You can get a coach purse from Denver for 300 and get it her for about less then hundred. I spent most of my time looking through all the stuff they sell it took me three days to do it. After that I went sight seeing for the last couple of days I was there. Then I went back to my hotel and packed my thing to get ready to take off to the last stop before my home, Denver.
I was so happy that this was my last stop before going home. I was really starting to miss my home very much, I was getting homesick so I decided to cut my stay shorted then I had planned but that was O.K. As I was on the airplane I did my research of the country. This country was located North of New Culedonia, Fiji and Tonga. The bodies of water that surround it are the Tasman Sea and South Pacific Ocean. After Settling down I put on my bathing suit and decided I would take it easy here and just enjoy there beautiful beach and the sight seeing this country had to offer me. I went swimming almost everyday I was here and got really tan . I had bought a coupe of shirt to take back home to give to my father. I had gotten a lot of stuff for me but all my dad asked from when I travel to New Zealand was a shirt that had a picture of the sea so that's what I had got him. Another thing I did while I visited was learned how to surf. It was very scary at first but I got over my fear after getting out in the water. I love to swim but I am more of a pool girl instead of a ocean person. i guess I am afraid of the creatures that live in the ocean and a shark. On my last day here I just sat on the beach and enjoyed the view. It was a very pretty sight but the most beautiful sight was watching the sun go down. After that I went back to the hotel and got a good night sleep then first thing in the morning I left. Back to Denver I was going and so happy I was to go.
This whole trip around the world has been a very eye opening experience and if I could I would go to a lot more places but I have things to do at home so I got to go fly back to Denver. Seeing all the different cultures and the way people live has go me look at life a whole another way. I never thought that I would travel the world but now that I have it is a amazing thing to do and wish everyone could. While that is it for now so goodbye!

Tina Caswell, clinical instructor in speech-language pathology and audiology
Equine assisted therapy and a speech generating software device called Dynovox have been helping autistic children learn how to express themselves, reports WIVT from Binghamton. Caswell says of the program's success, "For these kids, it has been wonderful because of the progress I've already seen here, not just with the kids, but with the parents has been fabulous. The parents have already made changes in their homes. They're trying to use the device more at home, being better communication partners for their children. So, what I see for these six kids is great success for them and I see them being very competent communicators and really developing good language and communication skills in the future."
