Car aficionados appreciate the a brand you can trust built into each Chevrolet, and understand that only the highest quality replacement C2500 Suburban parts will suffice when repairs are needed. Obviously, you bought your C2500 Suburban because you knew that you wanted horsepower and good looks both rolled up into one automobile. Your Chevrolet dealership isn't the only place to locate genuine or original equipment quality repair parts to fix your C2500 Suburban. While it may not be difficult to locate replacement parts for Chevrolet vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the highest quality are required to repair your car or truck.
Ever since the 1950s, cars and trucks have been built with either standard or optional climate control systems. The air conditioning uses a refrigerant called R134a to fuel a thermal reaction that emits cold air, and the A/C condenser on your Chevrolet C2500 Suburban changes the pressurized refrigerant from an extremely hot temperature to a more neutral temperature before it gets expanded into a gas. You can locate your Chevrolet C2500 Suburban A/C condenser sitting right in front of your radiator, as that is the easiest place to soak up air while your car is driving. If your A/C condenser has sprung a leak, then you will likely notice your air conditioning blowing lukewarm air as a result of the lack of refrigerant.
When your Chevrolet needs a new replacement A/C Condenser, there's no need to go somewhere besides the authority, Car Parts Discount. Don't let a broken A/C Condenser bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by buying anything but the best replacement parts. Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. Need 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992 Chevrolet C2500 Suburban A/C Condenser parts? We've got them right here.

For quite some time now, I am preoccupied by anxiety, sometimes because of huge changes in my life at this time, but more often only because of the smallest, pettiest of things. This is only because if there is so much in my hands right now, it would be time. And as I try my best to be productive with it, anxiety's catching up every second.
Singapura Favorites
I believe many would agree that Singapore is a young and vibrant city. A few months ago, I was lucky enough to witness what this city offers.
Bucas Grande and Sohoton Cove
As if we haven't got tired of boat rides, we did not pass up the chance to see the islets of Bucas Grande and the wonders of Sohoton Cove. We entered caves, played with sting-less jellyfishes, jumped 15-ft high onto the waters, and ate lunch with a beautiful view. It cost us heaps but it was fantastic.
Siargao Island
We were exhausted from yesterday's day trip but not too much for me not to feel the 4 AM aftershock from Tandag. It wasn't that disturbing, and although the thought of experiencing aftershocks while we could be well on our way on this trip might be scary, I was somehow feeling good about our safety while we're there.
That morning, we woke up at 6 AM, rode the van to Hayanggabon Port, boarded the public boat to Siargao and came there at noon time.
It took me a while before the reality sank in. We're in Siargao!
When in Surigao: Enchanted River
From Tinuy-An Falls, we drove to the famous Enchanted River for about half an hour.
When in Surigao: Tinuy-An Falls
From Butuan Airport, we took the 4-hour van ride to Mangagoy, Bislig, where we immediately found ourselves a habal-habal driver, Kuya Don Don. We ate at Ocean View Park for lunch and had a short trip to a doll museum next to the restaurant. By the time we finished, the rain was pouring and I began to get worried if we can still make it to the falls with a weather like this, on a motorbike, with our backpacks.
"Kaya po yan ma'am, sir!" said Kuya Don Don who also pointed at his motorbike which surprisingly has a roof! Seeing the roof on the motorbike triggered wide smiles on our faces. We went off to see the beautiful Tinuy-An Falls.
Of Waves, Rivers, Falls, and Caves: Surigao and Siargao
Rarely does a time come when everything was laid out in front of you smoothly. Not perfect, but smooth. Apart from amazing, that's how I would describe my recent DIY trip to Surigao with Jen. And so far, it was one of the best ones I've had.
It was careless of us to still go despite the 6.7 earthquake that occurred in Surigao the night before our flight. It was way more careless of us to sleep through the night and wake up one hour before our flight. One hour. What's wrong with us?

There are special rules that apply to the letting of houses where there are a number of individual occupiers who do not form members of the same family or household - these are known as houses in multiple occupation or 'HMOs'. HMOs typically include houses converted for bedsits flats or as a hostel. Estimates suggest that around 300,000 homes in England (excluding self-contained flats) are HMOs.
It is the current perception of Government that many of the worst housing conditions in the private rented sector are found in HMOs and that the risk of deaths or injury from fires in HMOs is often higher (especially in the larger multi-storey properties). Although this view has been to some extent discredited by research and fire incident statistics published by the landlords' associations, successive layers of special rules have now been introduced to control this type of housing.
Local authorities have powers to require landlords to bring HMOs up to a standard which is fit for the number of people living in the property. They may require the landlord to provide extra sanitary fittings, heating installations, facilities for storing, preparing and cooking food. There are also fire safety provisions that require there to be adequate fire precautions and means of escape. Grants may be available to the landlord to enable him to do the necessary work.
When managing, converting or acquiring an HMO (or potential HMO), there will be a number of issues to consider:
- HMO Definition: a landlord will need to firstly decide whether particular safety or planning legislation applies to the property.
- HMO Management Regulations - special rules apply to the management of HMOs. These put particular duties on both the landlord and the tenants.
- HMO Fitness Standard. The HMO Fitness standard (defined in s.352, Housing Act 1985) places requirements on landlords of HMOs to ensure that the particular house is fit for the number of people living in the property.
- HMO Registration Schemes. Many local authorities have implemented registration schemes which require landlords to register any houses in multiple occupation. A fee will normally be payable and in many cases, the authority will require that certain safety improvements are carried out or are already in place.
- HMO Mandatory Licensing. A new law was introduced in April 2006 under the Housing Act 2004 which requires certain HMOs to be licenced. This requirement applies to all local authority areas, and will initially apply to all HMOs that comprise 3 or more storeys AND have 5 or more occupants. Each local authority has the jurisdiction to set its own licence fees and make its own specific local fitness standards for fire safety, cooking facilities etc. that landlords will be required to follow.
- HMO Selective Licensing. Under the Housing Act 2004 local authorities have the power to introduce selective licensing of privately rented accommodation in areas where there is low housing demand and areas where there are anti-social behaviour issues which some private landlords fail to manage effectively. Landlords will need to check with the localy authority as to whether such a scheme applies and the requirements for that scheme.

Dr Capriotti is a wonderful doctor. He truly cares about his patients and their families. He spends a lot of time with you so he can get to know you and come up with a good plan. He is so kind and non judgemental and very smart too. He is responsive when you call with a problem. His staff is very nice too. I highly recommend. He's one in a million!

mild manner but just stares at you expecting something to happen?
He asks lots of questions and doesn't just write your prescriptions and send you away. But his manner in which he speaks is like you're in a library and he just stares you down the entire time making you feel awkward. He makes you feel like you should be saying something at all times. And he is almost always out of network for most insurance companies and doesn't help you out even if you explain your situation to him. He seems to care more about the money than he wants you to know. I told him I had lost my job and recently graduated and couldn't see him anymore and he would not work out anything to help me out and was going to send the bill to collections over $30 after I paid the majority of it and figured he wouldn't care about the $30. Not the guy you think he is. And his appointment wait times are ALWAYS AT LEAST 20 MINUTES. He never has been on schedule in the 2 years I saw him. Glad to be else where

Excellent Doctor
He's probably one of the smartest people I've ever met. If something in treatment isn't working out, he's quick to change it, and doesn't waste your time. Listens to patient's opinion for the most part, but sometimes doesn't take it into consideration. He's determined, professional, intelligent, and funny. I would definitely recommend him.

My son has been a patient of Dr Capriotti's for 7 or 8 years. Before seeing Dr Capriotti, the other doctors were having trouble giving me an accurate diagnosis and were trying all these different medications.Dr Capriotti accurately diagnosed my son and began treatment, both medication and therapy. We've had our ups and downs with my son, but I know that I can always count on Dr Capriotti for help and advice.A big plus, was that my son really likes him and that was not true for his other doctors.

USDA Report and recent Life Cycle Assessment Support Treated Wood as Green Building Material
On Sept. 29th, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced the findings of a new US Forest Service study indicating that wood should be a factor as a primary building material in green building projects.
The report's recommendations address Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) research, by "increasing acceptance and specification of wood as a green building material through the application of complete and current Life Cycle Assessment data and tools."
This opinion corroborates the recent LCA on ACQ-treated lumber performed by AquAeTer for the Treated Wood Council.
The general conclusions of the LCA Report were that Wood-Plastic-Composite decking requires significantly more fossil fuel and total energy to make, and results in more green house gases, acid rain, smog and ecological toxicity when compared to ACQ-treated lumber.
Both Ecolife and Preserve ACQ are certified as Green Approved Products by the NAHB Research Center and are eligible for earning points under the ICC 700 National Green Building Standard.

Ecolife™ Stabilized Weather-Resistant Wood Video Launch
Viance LLC launched a new video of the Ecolife Stabilized Weather-Resistant Wood Performance Demonstration. This video shows the dramatic difference between Ecolife and ordinary treated wood.
The innovative preservation technology behind Ecolife slows the absorption and evaporation of water, allowing the wood to gradually adapt to changes in moisture content. Ecolife Stabilized Weather-Resistant Wood significantly reduces the cracking, checking and splitting common to ordinary treated wood, helping the wood look better for longer.
Please watch the video and see for yourself. And then share this link with your friends.

09.Indians (Squonk)
These are three different sources from the same sessions which gave birth to A Trick Of The Tail, the first Genesis album without Peter gabriel to feature Phil Collins on vocals. Sources are different and I took the opportunity of a recent transfer of my own copy of A Trick Of The Tail "Outtakes" vinyl boot to create a mega-seed that include all three.
A Trick of the Outtakes comes from a Highland CD and it is probably the most complete and best sounding. Quality there is pristine and this should be kept as the reference for these outtakes. Top notch there.
The second source comes from a tape trade I did back in the mid 80´s and I haven´t seen this source circulating. tracks are the same except that this source is very hissy but you can hear some small sections not available on the cd, like small comments in the studio and counting before the track starts. I guess this is really for completists but could be interesting.
The third source is from a vinyl boot I purchased back in 1987. Quality is also very good but shorter. Overall, this is basically what you need to have in terms of ATOTT outtakes.

South Korean politicians, business people and ordinary citizens are quarrelling over last week's parliamentary vote to impeach President Roh Moo-hyun, but another battle is brewing in the media.
Television and internet media are denouncing lawmakers who voted for the impeachment. But major newspapers support the vote against what they view is an incompetent president.
The battle between the electronic and print media is so nasty that it is intensifying ideological, generational and regional divisions within society. Television stations whipped up disgust against lawmakers by broadcasting, over and over, the ugly scenes of pushing and shoving at the National Assembly during the vote last Friday.
At a time of political uncertainty, a growing division is the last thing South Korea needs.
Television stations tended to play up the frustration and anger of the general public through talk shows, street interviews and other programmes that followed the vote. Along with progressive internet media, television stations also gave extensive coverage to street rallies and candle-light protests by Mr Roh's supporters.
That helped swing the public mood against opposition parties and in favour of the left-leaning, reformist president's fledgling Uri Party ahead of parliamentary elections next month. Its popularity suddenly rose to nearly 50 per cent of public support after the vote, from around 30 per cent, while that of opposition parties slipped.
For their part, the top three national newspapers, which account for 75 per cent of the total national circulation, tried to emphasise the reasons for the impeachment vote. While pointing out Mr Roh's mistakes and misdeeds, the papers also accused television of misleading the public.
Conservative groups, such as anti-Pyongyang veterans' associations, placed newspaper ads denouncing what they believed was television's biased coverage. Liberal civic groups and media-watching agencies issued statements against the papers and opposition parties.
The media division seems unavoidable given recent history. During South Korea's dictatorial regimes to the 1980s, both print and broadcasting media reflected the conservative views of authoritarian rulers.
With the arrival of democratic governments in the 1990s, however, television stations turned liberal, while newspapers stayed conservative. Mr Roh has said he would not have been elected without support from television. The split reflects the fact that television companies are largely government owned, while newspapers are still run by private owners. The media divide will be difficult to overcome, in a country that, more than ever, needs national consensus to tackle its barrage of problems.

text: Ok, so I just got here, I read the basic plot for Issue 102, and I read all the hype for it on the Wikia Activity like I always do when a new issue is reliesed. I read that there's a new issue cover for Issue 105, so I take a look. I see it and I'm like, "Eh, kinda cool." but this is all beside the point (LOL). I read the plot synopses (pardon my spelling), and is said, "Sing me a song." and I'm like, "DA FUQ?!" What could that mean? "Sing me a song." Ideas?

I know this may seem like a dumb question but I've worked real hard on my site, and we are starting other sites with XF and converting one pretty large one (6 million posts) so, bear with me while I learn and verify and re-verify and tiptoe around upgrades. I'm sure this info is out there, and I'm looking, but in the meantime..
Alright. So, for the first that I'LL be upgrading... I've installed a style that I use as my only style. I've installed a fair number of add-ons, bold being what I consider required:
- Custom BBCode manager 1.3.4
- Most Online User 1.2
- Nodes as Tabs 1.2.2
- PHP Help Center Announcements Beta 2
- Registration Form Timer 2.0
- Respello 1.0
- Sitemap for XenForo 1.3.2
- Tapatalk 1.9.0
- Template Modification System 1.3.0
- Unread Post Count 1.1.3
- User Albums 1.0.0 b7
- [xfr] User Albums More 1.0.0
- Xenforo Resource Manager 1.1.0
- [8wayRun.com] XenPorta (Portal) 1.6.0
- [8wayRun.com] XenUtiles (Spam) 1.0.1
- [bd] Widget Framework 2.4.3
- [RT] Online Status Ribbon 1.3.7
- [Xen Media Gallery] Youtube Playlist BB Code Media Site 1.0.0
..and I've made a pretty good number of template edits in both the style template and plugin templates.
So, when I do this upgrade - what happens? Does it upgrade all but my custom edited templates? Will it overwrite my edited templates with new ones? Will it merge?
Am I to go into an upgrade knowing that any plugin may just break, and I'm better off waiting till I see verification or updates from each that they are compatible?
Thanks for any advice, appreciate it - love XF!

Too bad season 9 of Keeping Up With The Kardashians just premiered! While her family is one of the most famous in the world, Kourtney Kardashian isn't so sure she wants notoriety anymore. The oldest of the sisterly trio said: "Sometimes I just wish no-one knew who I was." And apparently her family doesn't prioritize the recognition either. We love ourselves some Kourtney, but no one signs up for a reality show without realizing they'll be gaining some stardom. Anyway, it can't be too bad getting paid millions, tons of free swag, and being loved by millions of fans.

A couple of years ago I had a baby and gained 30lbs, had post partum depression for a few months and my self esteem tanked. Fast forward to today and lots of weightloss... This morning was the first in a very long time that I felt attractive again. So threw on some swim stuff and took a few pics.
what do you all think?
thankyou in advance to everyone who responds for your time and feedback x

For starters you're 31, I love older woman, however I will set aside my own bias towards older woman and express my opinion without as much bias as possible.
Considering you have a child and considering your age you look stunningly fine for that age. I seen 20+ girls who are 200+ lb and always wonder WTF. I seen girls in there 40 look like models, in fact my brothers godmother is 42, had 4 kids and looks smoking hot. Same goes for you, you look absolutely fine.
Want my honest opinion? I would tap that without a second thought or hesitation, however my moral sense would not permit me as you are married.11|00|0
Thankyou so much for your full response. It's nice to know age is appreciated. Oh and "I would tap that" made me smile! Woo! I'm so happy today!!!

OP It's good that you understood that, but as you can see some people do not understand what I originally said. So I had to make it clear to some people, hopefully that will get truth to them. In worst case I can careless if they don't understand. In reality its called ethics, treating your elders with respect and treating older than yourself people with respect given that they been around longer than you.
And thank you I will enjoy older ladies out there if I get a chance to find one :D
Ya my bad @d3adn1nja I misunderstood ur meaning. Completely makes sense the way u explain it now. Thanks for explaining nicely instead of biting my head off lol

In a powerful expression of popular frustration with repressive government, protesters clashed with the police at two sites today, marking the third anniversary of a violent crackdown on student protests at Tehran University.
First at the university and later in the affluent north Tehran neighborhood of Mother Square, police officers and vigilante volunteers wielding riot sticks lashed out at demonstrators, who had gathered in the thousands in defiance of a ban on protests.
The Interior Ministry had cited concerns about violence in refusing to issue students a protest permit. And even though the main student organization decided on Sunday not to go ahead with the demonstration, nearly 3,000 people crowded into the streets anyway, spurred by a monthlong drive on opposition radio and satellite television.
Outside the university's gates, demonstrators chanted slogans like ''God save you the day we become armed'' and ''Iran has become another Palestine,'' goading the vigilantes and security officials, then running from their blows. Witnesses said tear gas was used, and one bystander described the security forces as clubbing women, ''including old ones, pulling their head covers and dragging them on the ground.''Continue reading the main story
The number of arrests was unclear, but one reporter taken to a police station said after his release that at least 50 others had been taken to the same station.
In Mother Square, witnesses said, crowds of demonstrators shouting ''Unity'' and ''Freedom'' were eventually dispersed by vigilante forces and riot police officers. Older residents of the neighborhood, who had emerged to watch out of curiosity, got caught up in the fray. One 67-year-old man said as he ran that a security official had aimed a weapon at him and threatened to shoot if he stayed in the square.
The events that sparked the protests today occurred in July 1999, when security forces attacked a student dormitory after students had demonstrated against the closing of a pro-reform newspaper. There was one death in the attack, which was followed by six days of nationwide riots. Many of the students were jailed; eight remain in prison.Continue reading the main story

I am Akaryim and with this post I have reached a new milestone in my amature blogging life. A 100% increase. That's right ladies and gentlemen I just doubled my blog posts. Crazy! I know, but before you go on judging how much that is I will stop your guessing, This is my 2nd post! BAM! There is a whole lot of nonsensicle nonsense to continue in this post, so if you're procrastinating and reading this I am tryuly sorry for how bored you must be. The kicker for this one is that I'm doing all this while I'm at work and I am a licenced professional. I do believe that blogging will help me improve my grammar. How long are blog posts supposed to be? I guess it all depends on what the subjust is and how passionatly one has a drive to voice their opinion. I have no grad delusions of ever having a single follower, or any one actually carring what my opinion is. I think this is a good enough spot to bid farewell to my 2nd blog post ever.
I Love gaming and Comic book!!

Dynamic data from my site into form?Asked by David Lozzi on June 08, 2014 at 09:11 PMHi There,I'm checking out Wufoo as well, and awaiting to hear from them as well on this same question. We have a site which offers events weekly and monthly. We'd like to use a online form service to collect the registration and payment for the event. The only issue I see, that isn't obvious, is can I send the event name to the form so we know what event they're registering for?Thanks!David
JotForm Support
Hello David,
If I understand your requirement correctly, you want to use the same form for multiple event registration and payment and wand to know which event the users have registered for. Is that correct?
Are you going to embed your form in multiple pages of your web site?
Yes it is possible to achieve your requirement. You can add a "Hidden Box" widget in your form. Then you can take advantage of our "URL Parameter" feature to dynamically pass value to this hidden box. The following guide should help you: http://www.jotform.com/help/71-Prepopulating-fields-to-your-JotForm-via-URL-parameters
You can pass the URL parameter in your form embed code itself. Please take a look at the following form and see if this works for you: http://form.jotformpro.com/form/41563074869969
You can embed this form with URL parameter or simply use the direct URL as well. Please check the following URL which will save two different event names:
Your user will not be able to see the event name on form but you will be able to see the data in your form's submission page. If you need to show the event name in your form, you need to simply replace the "Hidden Box" widget with a normal textbox.
Hope this helps.
Do get back to us if you have any questions.
Thank you!
Excellent. To take the requirements one more step:
The user can select multiple events to sign up for, and each event has a choice selection for costs (based on member pricing and such). I would need to send the form N events with an associated cost tier label and the cost value. something like
Event 1 - Member Cost - $10
Event 2 - Member plus Frield Cost - $15
and then have them fill out one form for both events, and be charged for both events. I'm thinking I could do a delimited querystring value, but is there logic to parse this, and then display a list similar to the above?
Thanks a ton!
JotForm Support
I do not think that we can forward some custom products to the Payment tools, but we can populate a Total amount. To get the Total field on your form you will need to use a 'Custom Amount Payments' option.
Example of prepopulated URL:
URL sample can be generated with a Field Prepopulator App.
If you need any further assistance on this, please let us know. We will be happy to help.
Thanks Mike. I think this demo is good. One last question, can that text box be disabled, or formatted so that it's not a textbox, just a large label to the user?
Thanks a million!
JotForm Support Manager
It could be formatted through Custom CSS like on my clone
Here you have the code I used:
#input_3_donation {
padding: 3px;
margin-left: 0px;
border: medium none;
font-size: 1em;
line-height: 1.071em;
box-shadow: none;
You can even add a color to it, using more custom CSS code

Fayetteville, North Carolina – (The Hosting News) – December 22, 2005 – North Carolina web hosting provider, AIT, has introduced two multi-server offerings it terms, 'business-in-a-rack'. The company is bundling multiple dedicated servers, with each designed to handle specific functions of a business, such as e-mail, applications, or databases.
According to Clarence Briggs, CEO of AIT, These plans provide as many of the key pieces of an operation as possible in a single, cost-effective package. We're offering a complex-style solution without the complexity, or the price tag."
AIT's 'Six Paks' are 'chilled' in the company's 25,000 square foot data center, and are available in two configurations.
Package 1
2 Application Servers
2 Database Servers
2 Web Servers
Package 2
1 Web Server
1 Application Server
1 DB Server
1 Firewall Server
1 E-mail Server
1 Hot Spare
Collectively, the Intel-powered servers create a mini-infrastructure with 12 IP addresses, full root access, expansive disk space and bandwidth, and the ability to host an unlimited number of domains and sub-domains. The Six-Pak concept was created in response to the growing reliance on IT for improving business efficiency.
Mr. Briggs added, "Many of our customers add components to help their operations, and we realized there had to be a better way of doing that than the piece meal approach. This is that better way, particularly for companies that rely on secure, stable IT systems for operations. We just ask that you use the 'Six-Pak' responsibly."

Other rooms include the Superior Room which looks over the inner courtyard, the Deluxe City View rooms which lookout away from the harbor. For total indulgence, the Deluxe Circular Panoramic Suite offer the ultimate views and bags of space.
The Americano Restaurant and Cocktail Lounge is one of the places to visit in town, offering a wonderful Italian-Californian inspired menu and adjacent cocktail lounge complete with picture perfect views. This does get very busy so we would recommend booking a table over the weekend period. The Americano Restaurant is also a great place to enjoy a healthy breakfast or a long larger brunch at the weekends
The hotel's pride and joy is its spa which has many different treatments and uses some of the highest quality lotions and potions. The best part about it is the bathtubs on the roof, don't worry they are private!
There are 200 rooms starting with Superior Rooms looking over the inner courtyard. The Deluxe City Rooms don't offer harbor views. The Superior Water View Rooms offer partial harbor views. The Deluxe Waterfront King offer the better views including delightful bay window seats. The Deluxe Circular Panoramic Suite offers space and views in abundance.
The bathrooms are all very spacious which is hard to find in a City hotel room and they benefit from 'Fresh' toiletries.

San Francisco, California
Located on Mission Street on the Embarcadero Waterfront in the Financial District of San Francisco. Hotel Vitale is directly across from the historic Ferry Building Marketplace, San Francisco's gourmet destination.
When to go
San Francisco is a year-round destination but has a cool maritime climate. In the summer, the city's famous fog rolls in mornings and evenings, creating a misty chill in the air. Spring sees the end of the rainy season, and the city's pretty-in-pink cherry blossom trees dot the landscape. In Fall Indian Summer comes to San Francisco, bringing warm, dry days with plenty of sunshine. The very best time of year is August to October when temperatures are at their highest and days are often sunny.

Austerity is Not a Solution: Why the Deficit Hawks are Wrong
Wall Street hyper-speculation brought the global economy to its knees in 2008-09. To prevent a 1930s-level Depression at that time, economic policymakers throughout the world enacted extraordinary measures. These included large-scale fiscal stimulus programs, financed by major expansions in central government fiscal deficits. In the U.S., the fiscal deficit reached 9.9 percent of GDP in 2009, and is projected at 10.3 percent of GDP in 2010. But roughly 18 months after these measures were introduced, a new wave of opposition to large-scale fiscal deficits has emerged. This paper reviews the arguments developed by various leading deficit hawks. In fact, they are not advancing one main argument or even a unified set of positions, but rather four distinct claims: 1) Large fiscal deficits will cause high interest rates, large government debts, and inflation; 2) Even if the current deficits have not caused high interest rates and inflation, they are eroding business confidence; 3) The multiplier for fiscal stimulus policies is always close to zero and has been so with the current measures; and 4) Regardless of short-term considerations, we are courting disaster in the long run with structural deficits that the recession only worsened. This paper argues that none of these deficit hawk positions stand up to scrutiny. I also argue that through critiquing the four deficit-hawk positions, we can also bring greater clarity toward developing a workable recovery program. This will include fiscal deficits that can stabilize state and local government budgets; maintain sufficient funds for unemployment insurance; and continue support for long-term investments in traditional infrastructure and clean energy. But such fiscal policies also need to combine with credit-market measures that are capable of 'pulling on a string'—i.e. creating strong enough incentives for both lenders and borrowers to unlock credit markets.

It was one of a few Islamic states in Europe, having a relatively short life span of only 75 years. It was probably one of the most prolific states to have arisen in the Mediterranean after the Roman empires domination of the area only being surpassed by Rome in the entire middle ages. The state was under the control of the Sadiqi dynasty until 862 when the first Roman Sicilian war initiated and the Romans manage to capture and execute the last emir of the Sadiqi dynasty.

In their 75 years of existence the Sicilian emirate manages to manufacture a gigantic fleet of a hundred ships, their ability to create such number of ships allowed them to execute fairly precise campaigns throughout the Mediterranean basin and to extend their influence through it. At their peak the Sicilian emirs manages to control Corsica (834-863), Sardinia (819-874) Thessaloniki (843-881) Sicily (819-894) Malta (828-864) Anatolia's coastal holdings (845-867 871-885) and the Balearic islands (819 - 862)
Although the nobility and the monarchy were avid Muslims, the vast majority of the population remained strongly roman catholic although followed by Latin Muslim population of converts. The Roman Catholic population encompasses the 67% of the total population of the island followed by Muslim Latin converts (still with roman rites translated into Islamic Religious beliefs) 18%, 7% being from the Greek rites, 5% being Maghrebi Islam and 2% Abbasid Sunni Islam 1% being of other religions.

Author | Noor Fathima Warsia | Thursday, Jul 22,2004 8:22 AM
Quizmaster Siddharth Basu and STAR India had changed the look of television when they gave the Indian audience 'Kaun Banega Crorepati'. The teaming up could not recreate the magic when they joined hands together for 'India Child Genius' but the combination is ready again with yet another game show. The show will be a one-hour weekly, planned to hit the Indian screen during October-November.
Though STAR officials express that this is not another KBC, they believe it would serve as an interesting mass entertainment. The network hasn't yet decided whether the show would be on STAR Plus or StarOne.
For that matter, STAR hasn't finalised many such details of the show till now, but Sameer Nair, COO, STAR India, shares that more on the show will be confirmed in two weeks as the production begins by then. "We are looking at the Diwali period," says Nair.
The new game show, once again an adaptation of Distraction format 'Dirty Rotten Cheater', which is supposed to be a good mix of suspense and comedy. The plot of the game is simple - six players answer questions and win in the process. However, one of them is secretly fed all the answers. In order for the 'honest' player to take home all the money, he must expose the 'cheater'.
The tricky part of the show perhaps is that while this might provide the programmer with the suspense factor, the comedy comes from the type of questions that are asked, which is where adapting the show would prove to be a challenge to the channel. Added to that, the international reviews of the show have been a mixed one, where more critics call the show a copy of various format shows. As to why did STAR India decide on trying the format, nonetheless, Nair states, "Its a very interesting show. We believe that it will make for a good fun entertainment for the whole family."
What does the channel expect from the show? "Its not a KBC and we are not pitching it at that. More on the lines of Khullja Sim Sim," Nair replies. But aren't there just too many game shows and format adapted of late? "As a genre, they work with the audience. The audience isn't going to get bored with the genre. They will get bored if it is the same kind of product. In that manner, this show is a different one, whether it is the format, the game rules or just the game's style."
Festival season this year brings Sony's Indian Idols as well. The formats of both shows are completely different and hence on the face of it, don't pose direct competition just yet. However, one cannot forget that Sony's semi-weekly's first episode would be of one hour. If the timings then clash between both the shows, either, one of them faces serious problem or the viewers get divided between the two channels. In that sense, the scheduling of the show makes considerable difference to both properties. More details on STAR's game show will be known by August end.

Fennec Fox
By: Derik Miller
The Fennec Fox has a thick pale coat to protect it from cold desert nights. The ears of the Fennec Fox make up 20% of the fox's total body surface. These huge ears also help radiate extra body heat. The paws are covered with fur so that it does not get burned while running on the hot sand. Did you know that the Fennec Fox uses its huge ears to sense pray underground. The fennec fox comes out during the day but only hunts during the night which makes it nocturnal. Mating takes place in January or early February. The female can give birth to 5 young at a time and after about 9 months they are sent on their way. They can live up to 14 years, in captivity. Their dens can reach up to almost 1,300 square feet. Their body length can be about 9-16 inches and can weigh between 1.5-3.5 pounds.

Having twins can be the most amazing experience of your life. It can also cause you to wake up in the morning wishing you were someone else. Twinning offers an honest depiction of life with twins from a mom who tries to keep things somewhere in the middle.
For a lot of twin parents, transitioning their twins from cribs to beds can be a nightmare. This is one of the few areas of raising twins where I'm lucky enough to say that I had no problem— because I put it off as long as I possibly could, until my twins were almost four years old.
I actually got that advice from veteran twin moms who warned that the end of cribs in a shared nursery is the end of a peaceful bedtime. They told me stories about spending two hours after bedtime putting their toddler twins back in bed or spending an hour laying with each twin until they fell asleep. One mom told me to imagine a slumber party for 2-year-olds and said that's what her nights were like after moving her twins from cribs to beds. I was sold—we were sticking with cribs for as long as possible.
Early on, I'd realized that containment was essential to a mother's sanity while raising twins. Bouncy seats, swings, ExerSaucers, play zones, strollers and cribs—these were all my best friends. If your kids are in a safe place they can't get out of, your chances of having a moment of peace or getting something done rise dramatically. And as far as containment goes, cribs win the Most Valuable prize because your twins spend the most time in them.
As my twins grew from infants to toddlers, I tried to make sure they enjoyed being in their cribs—they had little music boxes they could turn on and off themselves, soft books, snuggly stuffed animals, and personalized toddler pillows that they loved to lay their heads on. We were good for a while.
Then the escape artist struck.
I heard the "thunk" from my bedroom and went running to the nursery. I had figured my daughter would eventually climb out of her crib, since she was the adventurous, curious one (a.k.a hellraiser). Sure enough, there she was on the ground, howling at me with a furious little face. Luckily our nursery was carpeted, so she wasn't hurt, just angry.
This is the point where most parents think, "Time to go buy beds." Or they go the bed tent route. As far as bed tents go, kids either like them or hate them. My son was tall for a toddler, so I didn't think he'd appreciate a mesh ceiling on his head, and I knew my daughter would be like a caged animal and would probably shred any bed tent I put up, so I didn't even consider them.
I also didn't consider toddler beds. My twins were not even two and a half at the time, so I was hoping to keep them in cribs for at least another year. I had to teach my twins that climbing out of their crib was dangerous and not allowed. Any time one of them would put a leg up on the front of their crib I'd say, "No no! You could fall and get hurt. No climbing in cribs!" And they learned. We also had a video monitor that allowed me to keep an eye on my daughter during nap times and bedtime. If I saw her plotting a leap, I'd go up to the nursery and repeat my "no climbing" mantra. My daughter only climbed out again once and my son never did.
As they neared four years old, I talked to my twins about moving to "big kid beds," making it something to look forward to. I told them that our main rule with beds was that once you were in bed, you don't get out of the bed. They could call to us, of course, for water or to go to the bathroom, but they weren't allowed to get out of bed themselves. It's a simple rule, but it is the reason our transition went so smoothly.
With a toddler, there is no reasoning; there are no rules that can be understood, so once they're out of their cribs, it's a free-for-all. To enforce our rule about staying in bed, the disassembled cribs were kept in the basement so my kids knew that if they didn't follow the rules, they'd go back to cribs. (Yes, this is a threat, and probably earns me a Bad Parent badge in modern parenting books, but hey, do what works for you.)
All in all, the transition to beds was a fun, exciting time for my twins. I let them pick out their own bedding, and they chose decals to decorate the walls behind their beds. When the beds arrived, my husband and I made a big deal out of them, calling relatives to let the kids tell them their exciting "big kid" news. The first night they slept in their beds, my twins were thrilled and after their usual nighttime chat, they went right to sleep.

- Name: Mala
- Race: Toa (Metru Configuration)
- Appearance: Her armour and main body are crimson, as well as her head and mask, and her feet. The rest is orange.
- Alignment: Evil.

--Accuracy (Sanok)
--Uncanny ability to detect when someone is near.
- Weapons:
--Twin Fire Energy Swords (Orange in colour.)
--Fire Shotgun
--Fire Sword (Fire Shotgun can transform into Fire Sword with the flick of a switch)
- Personality: Evil. Bad. Kills just to hear her opponent die.
- Bio: Mala was once a good, kind soul. In fact, a member of the Knights of Mata-Nui. However, that's all in the past. Many years ago, something happened to her. No one knew quite what, but it corrupted her. Some say she came into contact with an evil spirit that possesed her body. Others say she simply turned from the cause for her own greedy reasons.
She lusts after power. The first time she heard of the Kanohi Elementa was about ten years ago... It was in an obscure tablate she read at the Ko-Metru base. It held ten riddles. She had shown it to Sirea, who made it top priority of the order.
And then... she changed. Shortly after that, she was expelled from the order. She had been acting evil. She was set to have her memories erased on a date, as well as her body changed... mutated into something else, but she broke out of the holding cell...
...From there, no one knows what happened. Some say she's still on the lookout for the Kanohi Elementa, and will follow anyone to their source... Then attempt to claim them for herself. Others say she's on a hunt for the relics of an ancient warrior, but whatever she is doing, know she is a powerful foe...
