My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Give Kids The World, Kissimmee, FL, USA
Our precious daughter, diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma, was blessed with a stay at Give Kid's the World Village in the fall of 2007. I believe that wonderful experience helped to change our lives, giving our daughter the joy and hope to carry on and overcome her life-threatening illness. At no time, at no place in our lives have we ever experienced such love, compassion and joy. The volunteers and staff made our week there seem like a too-good-to-be-true dream. But it was true. The Village is a real place that daily brings beauty and strength into the lives of children and families who need it most. Bless you Henry Landwirth for changing the world with the World you created.

Type: Sub-task
Status: Resolved
Priority: Major
Resolution: Won't Fix
Fix Version/s: 1.2.2
Component/s: CQL, Secondary Indexes
Currently, CQL 3.0 doesn't allow creating an index on a dynamic CF (with COMPACT STORAGE). The goal of this ticket is not to support the composite case however (
CASSANDRA-3680 will tackle this).
I think changes needed to support this are only in the CQL side and covert two area:
- Finding a syntax for it
- Currently, the CQL 3 code consider that a CF with any column_metadata defined is a non-compact cf. Basically the problem is that we currently use column_metadata both for defining a name for a column in the static case, and store indexing information. Ideally, we would separate those informations, i.e. we could add a new map valueAliases (ByteBuffer -> AbstractType) to CFMetadata (only used by static CF) and we would keep column_metadata for indexing purpose only. However that may be problematic for backward compatibility (with thrift in particular), so probably instead we can just add a new boolean isStaticColumnName to ColumnDefinition.
- All
- Comments
- Work Log
- History
- Activity
- Transitions
For the syntax, let's consider a typical dynamic CF in CQL 3.0:
CREATE TABLE timeline ( key int, time timestamp, event text, PRIMARY KEY (key, time) ) WITH COMPACT STORAGE
then a syntax to declare an index could look like:
CREATE INDEX index_name ON timeline WHERE time = 0;
Alternatively, we could have it be:
CREATE INDEX index_name ON timeline(0);
but I feel that will be less intuitive.
There is obviously a lot of possible variation. Maybe it could be worth keeping
CASSANDRA-3680 in mind too for this.
I'm confused by this example. First, because in this case time is a "simple" column name so it's part of the row's "column index." I don't see what additional indexes would buy us. While I could see creating indexes on subordinate parts of a composite column name, I imagine that's what
CASSANDRA-3680 has in mind. So in my mind the "index wide rows" part that's distinct from "index composite columns" is, "index the values part of wide row columns," i.e., event in this example.
The other reason I'm confused is because the general case is people want to index everything in a column; while partial indexes (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/indexes-partial.html) can certainly be useful, it's more of an "advanced" feature (MySQL doesn't support it at all).
I'll refer to the following comment on
I fully agree my example is not particularly clear in that you can wonder why you would do that indexing. I really only picked it to illustrate the proposed syntax.
So in the comment above, Thorsten gives two examples of using a secondary index (the ones we have right now) for a wide row. As he is himself admitting, it's abusing a bit the column name, basically creating a column with a fixed name in a wide row just for the purpose of re-using the secondary index mechanism to find rows based on some criteria. Of course, we could decide whether we want to disallow this on purpose, but I don't see a very good reason to do that since it's not a lot of work, at least someone cares about it and both thrift and CQL 2.0 allows it.
I see. That makes sense, although I think it may be confusing that the user would need to specify values for exactly each part of the PK declaration.
I think it may be confusing that the user would need to specify values for exactly each part of the PK declaration
I suppose that's more a problem for
CASSANDRA-3680. But actually it may be worth dealing with this at the same time we deal with CASSANDRA-3680. I initially wanted to separate the two issues because for non-composite wide rows we wouldn't really need to change anything to secondary indexes to support this. But now I'm a bit afraid that we'll do something here that is not coherent with CASSANDRA-3680.
I'm going to close that one because I think
CASSANDRA-5125 pretty much give us
what we want here for CQL3.

A door-to-door survey claims that 85 per cent of households in Balcombe are against fracking, with nine per cent unsure and six per cent pro-fracking.
The survey was done by the 'Lock the Gate' campaign and adds to one done by Balcombe Parish Council to which 33 per cent responded with 82 per cent against fracking.
On Saturday the Lock the Gate campaigners say between 150 and 200 people walked from Balcombe recreation ground to the protest site outside the Cuadrilla compound where test drilling for oil began on Friday.
The fracking technique is not being used at the moment, according to Cuadrilla whose vehicles and staff entering the site have been held up by protesters.
The group of villagers sang a version of Jerusalem as they walked and again with the protesters when they reached the site.
In a letter, Balcombe resident and lead campaigner Helen Savage said: "Cuadrilla have NO social license to be here. This is middle England saying NO, normal people who (quite happily) have not been politically active before, have woken up and realised it is time to stand up to protect their community, this is grass roots democracy saying NO."
Helen said: "The government are making it too easy for fracking to take place, having originally said we will have tighter controls and regulations than in the US, now we find that the government are using recent bills to enable them to rush this through the planning process without due consideration to communities involved.
"Not only this, but now, possibly because the process is taking a long time here in Balcombe, George Osborne is saying permits will be able to go through in as little time as two weeks."
She added: "We have tried all the official channels and so far they are just not listening enough. We are happy that protestors from outside care enough to come and stand up against this process. I have been down there nearly every day and met genuine, concerned and informed people from: Forest Row, Hayward's Heath, Cuckfield, Danehill, Chichester, Brighton, Lewes and so on. They have every right to be there, Ardingly reservoir is one of only four reservoirs that serves the whole of the South East. This area has been deemed to be an area of 'water stress' in the future, we cannot afford to put it at risk. People have an absolute right to come here from further afield, they drink the same water. (Remember Fracking not only risks polluting the water supply but uses 20 million litres of water per well).
"For those that come from Lancashire, Somerset and the Solent I salute you, you are or are about to experience the same problems that we are.
Balcombe resident John Butcher said: "It was great to see so many local villagers at the drilling site today (3rd August), most of whom work during Monday to Friday.
"150 to 200 walked down to the site, uniting with others from outside the local area who are concerned about the health risks of this exploratory drilling stage and potential fracking.
"Fracking has such a poor safety and environmental impact record worldwide and is banned in many countries. The government should be supporting economic growth and energy security through renewable sources."
Of the survey done of Balcombe residents' views, Katy Dunne, who lives in the village, said: "We spoke to every household in the village and the overwhelming majority of people who live in Balcombe don't want fracking. We've done petitions, over 800 of us responded to the Environment Agency's consultation, the Parish Council has come out against and now we can say with confidence that the residents don't want it.
"This industry is being forced upon us. We've been backed into a corner and we now feel we have no option but to take matters into own own hands and protect our village. We have lost faith in national and local democracy and are putting our efforts into the ongoing protests at the site."
Balcombe resident Norman Hawkins wrote: "As a Balcombe resident of nearly 40 years, I have obviously been following proceedings on the fracking situation with much interest. Whilst I understand the concerns of those residents who think fracking, if it happens is a good and necessary thing, I would just mention one or two facts.
"By the way, I do understand the need for energy based on the inability of successive governments to plan far enough ahead. I also understand from the majority of conversations I've had, that people are very largely against fracking.
"The majority however are also not keen to be seen in the same confrontational environment as portrayed by 'Swampy' and with police struggling to arrest people.
"Although Fracking has yet to take place, if at all, it is undisputed that it uses vast quantities of water and there is also a risk of contamination to water supplies. These concerns are also shared by the water supply companies, who have recently put these points to the government.
"At Balcombe we are in an area which suffers with a lack of water availability in any prolonged hot summer. The Battle of Balcombe is now well established, but it must be understood that water shortages and contamination scenarios stretch into all of Mid Sussex and far beyond. And is not water more important than gas and oil?"
In other letters, residents have expressed their disquiet about the protesters and the protest camp beside the B2039 which is requiring a large police presence.
In one letter, Balcombe resident Sarah Lamaletie put the other side of the debate and accused the media of bias.
She says: "Why is your reporting so one sided? There are plenty of people who have gone on record both on the BBC site and others (try the Mid-Sussex Times) stating that there are people in Balcombe who are NOT supportive of the protesters.
"As has been put on record on a number of occasions (although you have seen fit to ignore this) the much quoted "82 per cent of residents" actually should read the "82% of the 33% of residents who responded to the questionnaire". That means the 66% (those who didn't respond) plus the 18% of those that did but who are in favour / with no firm opinion are being out shouted by the 26% of villages who are anti-fracking and are backed up but a large collection of professional protesters (most of whom clearly haven't held a job recently and therefore have either the private money or the benefit cheques to allow them spend all day making a pain of themselves).
"As a Balcombe resident since 1982 (whose family moved here in 1949) I am absolutely sick to death of the persistent voice of a very small number of locals - one of whose husband has just made the village grapevine buzz for hitting someone at the parish council meeting because they had the temerity not to agree with his anti-fracking view (I stress I cannot verify this but it gives an indication as to local opinion of the protesters) being treated as if they spoke for all of us. They do NOT.
"For myself, my family and quite a large circle of my village acquaintances the protest site is a blot on the landscape who are giving the village a bad name, littering the local landscape with human excrement etc, taking up valuable resources (police et al) which is likely to result in raised council tax bills and doing little more than scare-mongering.
"Could you PLEASE get a little balance. Mr Maude I am copying you in the hope that you will NOT assume all those who voted for you are a bunch of NIMBYs who are happy to use the resources but only if the extraction of them inconvenience someone else."

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — The sun is out, the skies are clear, the calendar reads January, and the thermometer is 50 degrees. Many WCCO viewers are noticing buds on the trees and flowers starting to emerge.
Is that something to be concerned about? Not really. But the lack of snow could be.
"The warm weather can trick the trees," said Jeff Gillman, a horticulturist with University of Minnesota Extension Service.
"The trees are supposed to have buds. The trees have buds all winter long," he added, noting that often they're covered in ice or snow.
Even so, the unusually warm weather is causing some confusion for the trees and other early blooming plants.
"One day isn't a big deal. But if you have enough warm days, especially over 50 degrees, you can have some trees breaking bud," Gillman said.
But that's not necessarily a bad thing, he said.
"It's not likely to kill the tree. It'll set the tree back when spring comes around," he said, explaining that the energy spent on creating the doomed bud is energy that isn't going into new growth.
Tree buds go dormant over the winter. When it starts getting warm, they open, Gillman said.
"The first flesh is a bet by the tree…. If they lose the bet, it's not a big loss," he said.
Lilacs often get a little green growth early in winter- so they can open early in the spring, so it's not unusual to see bright green buds right now.
And magnolias are also showing signs of life.
"Magnolia is a very early bloomer. Losing a few blooms is no big deal," Gillman said.
Foresters are more concerned about the lack of snow, because that snow insulates the root systems from sub-freezing temperatures. Minnesota trees aren't as hardy as those in neighboring states, because they're conditioned to having that snow cover as insulation.
But short-term, Gillman says don't worry about the buds.


text: Starting off the day with this one in my Bodum french press. I think this is a great way to brew this one since the assam pellets are so small. I think I used just a bit too much tea because it is quite strong! Not bitter though. I really love the maltiness of one.

Last night I was trying to watch the college football national championship on ESPN through my Amazon Fire TV Stick because of using my DVR for recording other things. When I tried to set up Watch ESPN I found out that Charter wasn't listed as an available cable system. I've also run into this problem with Watch TCM, and Charter hasn't been added as an available system in the 9 months it's been available. But I was able to watch it on my Roku box that I had connected to the same TV set.
Is there some sort of dispute between Amazon and Charter that Charter customers aren't allowed access to channels like Watch ESPN and Watch TCM on Fire TV? Is this happening on any other cable channels with available apps on Fire TV? Does anyone have any ideas on why this is happening? Thanks!

©2004 The John R. Cash Revocable Trust; (P)2005 Blackstone Audiobooks
"An affecting mosaic of oral history, poetry, and memoir concerning Cash himself, but also the era in which his music took root and thrived." (Publishers Weekly)
"In what may be the most admirable of its many achievements, it's as good as Cash deserves." (Rolling Stone)
"Great Story - poor reader"
Really not necessary to listen to it a second time. A great review of his life.
His final years following his relapse
Needed more inflection in his voice, seemed very mechanical
His relationship with Billy Graham
"A must read for any country music fan"
Whether you are a fan of Johnny Cash or of country music in general you will thoroughly enjoy this well read, easy to listen to biography. If you are not a Johnny Cash fan I think the chances are pretty good that you will become one after listening to this biography.
"A Mann Called Cash"
Oddly to me, the book started slowly, covering Cash's early years, and the work he did before going into his recording career. These were the years I was interested in hearing about when I bought the recording, so I felt some initial disappointment. But once past his divorce from his first wife, the story and the writing really take off, and the promises of the book's cover notes are kept. This is a compelling tale of a mythological figure and it has the right mix legend and fact, forcefully told.
"a fascinating guy"
A fascinating guy, and the introduction by Kris Kristofferson was wonderful.
"God and Johnny cash"
This book give a glimpse of what made Johnny cash Johnny cash. God. It shows what a Christian is. Not perfect but forgiven. Well written well read. If you like Johnny cash you'll love this book.
"Gut-wrenching and Glorious"
Johnny Cash's story is a roller coaster ride throughout. The dark periods are tragic and lonely, but the redemption story makes it all the more thrilling to read. As the epilogue says, "If it wasn't for June (Carter Cash), we might well be saying Brian Jones, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Johnny Cash all in the same sentence." Thanks to June, and especially Jesus Christ, Johnny Cash, while very far from perfect, is a wonderful story of amazing grace. Whatever you are currently reading, put it away for awhile, and read this book!
"Great read"
I enjoyed learning about the man I have admired. Spiritually, and humanly unique, I truly wish there were more people like Cash, especially in today's commercial world.
"For lovers of the Man in Black"
I am a fan of Johnny Cash and already knew some of his history. However, it was nice to listen to this biography which seemed to be well documented and quite truthful. The only downside for me was that when there was excerpts from songs they were read and not played. It probably is a problem of copyrights but it would definitely make it more enjoyable although the narration was very good.
"Excellent Biography of 'The Man in Black'"
This is an absorbing biography of one of country music's most influential and enigmatic stars. The life of Johnny Cash is one of great interest, particularly when he is battling his inner demons, addictions, family crises, and deteriorating health. The book starts near the end of his life when Johnny loses the love of his life, his wife June Carter Cash. His determination to carry on with his music to help combat his despair illustrates the kind of man he was. The book then goes back to his roots and we are taken forward through his life and career. Cash's musical revival towards the end of his life under Steve Rubin is also covered, including an excellent and vivid description of the video that accompanied one of his last singles('Hurt'). I highly recommend this book.

I don't quite understand your situation. Are you married or single? If married, what is the citizenship/nationality and visa status of your spouse here in Taiwan?
My guess is that you are single, otherwise you would have spoken more knowledgeably about "work permission for holders of a JFRV."
So . . . . . as a single person, I think you need to rethink what you are trying to do, and get a better grasp of the legal situation here. According to your legal description, it would seem that one obtains RESIDENCY RIGHTS in Taiwan and then goes to look for a job. (Which might result in "discrimination" if you don't have a college degree, etc.) However, that is not the situation in Taiwan.
In Taiwan, you obtain work permission first, and then you obtain residency rights based on that.
I hope these comments are of some value to you.
Best wishes.
Because employers are unwilling to hire someone without an ARC or would not proceed an ARC for a foreigner, as I have no ARC the question is if I buy/create a fake ARC, lie that I have an ARC during the interview and when I get hired I hand in my " fake ARC" for inspection.
Militarygamer wrote:People here tell me they use fake degrees to find teaching jobs. I do not need a fake degree, I want a non-teaching job but the law of the Republic of China is very restrictive, employers cannot hire me because of the 2 year and 48000 income rule, while more are unfamiliar with the law and do consider foreign candidates at all. Every time I go to an interview, they shall ask me do I have an ARC or some kind of ID that makes me qualify to work otherwise they can't hire me. I am fed up living like an illegal immigrant, I have an impressive degree but prospective jobs are not open to me because I don't have an ARC/ID. I've heard foreign workers using fake ARCs on the news, what are the chances of getting caught and what will happen to me? Will I get deported, imprisoned or both?

After watching the friendly win over MK Dons, Everton new boss Ronald Koeman says his side need to improve their pressing game.
Everton's pre-season preparations continued on Tuesday night with a visit to the League One outfit, after which Koeman outlined that the players need to press as a team rather than individually.
Gerard Deulofeu, Ross Barkley and Muhamed Besic were on target in a 3-1 win but Koeman wants to see an improvement.
Koeman said: "If one is pressing and the player behind is not following, you get problems. On that we need to improve."

SHADOW Minister for Education, Angela Burns AM, has commented on reports the Welsh Labour Government has reneged on its pledge to maintain a hardship fund for university students, she said:
"After committing billions of pounds to subsidise every university student from Wales regardless of their financial situation, it would seem strange to cut funding for students from poorer backgrounds.
"Everyone should have access to an excellent university education if they get the grades, but Labour's U-turn on hardship funds could deter students from deprived communities from applying to university.
"Labour's tuition fee subsidy, which diverts cash from Welsh universities, together with these hardship fund cuts, threatens both standards and the drive to improve access.
"It would appear that Labour's pledge to widen access to higher education is now in tatters."

Easy solution!
Your utilization % is fine. The key to building your score over time is making sure that payment is posted early every month. There are many factors involved in computing your score, and utilization % is important. As long as you make that payment on time, 10% isn't going to hurt you. As I'm sure you know, the way to avoid paying high interest is to minimize your purchases. And nothing says you have to pay on the due date, as I often pay early......

'Glee' Actress Charice Pempengco's Father Stabbed to Death in Philippines
"Glee" star Charice Pempengco is flying back home to the Philippines to be with her family after her estranged father was stabbed to death Monday.
The rising actress and singing sensation, who plays Sunshine Corazon in Fox's hit television series, canceled her upcoming concerts in Singapore due to the incident, tweeting her apologies.
"I am very sorry to all my fans from Singapore. I am not going to be there to be part of David Foster and Friends concert. I have to go back to the Philippines as soon as possible to be with my family. I hope you all understand. I love you all and I will see you next year."
According to The Philippine Star, her father, Ricky Pempengco, 40, was killed after a brief encounter with a man at a grocery store.
Pempengco had been shopping for cigarettes in San Pedro, Laguna, when he accidentally brushed up against Angel Capili Jr., a 35-year-old construction worker whom witnesses later identified.
Enraged, Capili stabbed Pempengco with a 12-inch ice pick in the chest and in the back, killing him on the spot, San Pedro Police Chief Superintendent Kirby John Kraft told the Star.
Police reported that both men were drunk when they bumped into each other. Kraft believed that Capili had previously met Pempengco years before and held a grudge against him, leading him to stab the victim Monday. The two had purportedly fought six years ago, while both attending a wake.
Pempengco's sister, however, denied that her brother knew the suspect, who is currently in hiding.
Senior Superintendent Gilbert Cruz, the Laguna police director, has offered a $470 reward to anyone who has information that will lead to the suspect's arrest.
Pempengco had long been separated from his daughter and wife prior to the incident.
Charice, who rose to fame through YouTube, told Oprah Winfrey in an interview that she had not seen her father since she was 3-years-old.
Her father had come home one evening and began to fight with her mother, Raquel, holding a shotgun to her head. Neighbors broke down the door and broke up the fight, after which they fled and never looked back.
After hearing of her father's death, she tweeted in Tagalog and English, "I just want you to know that we had a really great relationship before all the trouble started. My mother didn't know that when I was young, my father told me that he wanted me to be a soldier because I'm a fearless woman. I loved him, and I will still love him. He's still my dad after all."
Her father's death has brought to the surface tension within the family, with her aunt making a statement that she and her mother would have been happy with what happened to her father, the Star reported.
His siblings had purportedly been the cause of much controversy between her and her father.
Responding back on her Twitter, she wrote in her native language, according to ABS-CBN News, "To my father's siblings, you have no right to say or guess how I feel. Who are you to say that I should be happy over the death of my own father. You're just his siblings and I am the daughter. Mother never stopped us from visiting daddy, but you wouldn't allow us."
"I have long kept silent about your scandalous behavior. But now, even with his death you're still at it. I am not afraid, especially of people with no respect," she added.
The posts were later deleted however.
Charice's mother, responding to her late husband's death, told ABS-CBN she was shocked by the news. She was not sure if she would attend the funeral.
When asked if she had forgiven her husband for his past behavior, she replied in her language, "I forgave him a long time ago. It's painful because he is still the father of Charice."
Charice Pempengco, 19, jumped to fame after catching the attention of Ellen DeGeneres and Oprah Winfrey on YouTube. Oprah dubbed her as "the most talented girl in the world."
She released her first international studio album "Charice" in 2010, which entered the Billboard 200 at number eight, making her the first Asian artist to land in the Top 10 of the charts.
Her new album "Infinity," features a single written by Bruno Mars called "Before It Explodes."

Permission was granted for the National Wild Turkey Federation to use the Wright Family Pavilion at McMillan Park for a fund-raising event June 20.
Brimhall reported that concrete pouring will begin today (Thursday) on the Baker Street/Grand Avenue intersection. "They are getting a lot of work done out there," the mayor remarked.
Jessica Gillespie, who runs a day care in her home on North Jackson Street, was given permission to enclose the front steps and ramp in front of her home. The front steps and ramp are in the city right-of-way which required her to receive city permission.
A rezoning request (current single and tow-family residential to light industrial) was referred to the planning and zoning commission. The request was from H.C. Customs (Lee Evans, Wes Willey and Curtis Howell).
Councilman Terry McWilliams, whose term expires this year, said he will run for re-election.
The council meets again in regular session Wednesday, June 24, at 7 p.m. in City Hall.

The legislative session that ended last week mixed the historic with the anticlimactic. Tax increases were passed and same-sex marriage was legalized, but efforts to tighten gun-control measures and allow early voting sputtered and died. This week on the Friday Roundtable, we'll talk with a panel of state legislators about some of the issues that got a lot of coverage this session — and about some that weren't talked about so much.
• Four GOP House members voted 'yes' on same sex marriage; two Dems voted 'no'
"For the Republicans, a key moment came when lawmakers overwhelmingly approved a change the bill in a way FitzSimmons proposed. It added the word 'civil' in front of the word 'marriage' in state law and made absolutely clear that no religious institution could be punished if it chooses not to solemnize any civil marriage."

Eye Candy of the week
|By Amanda Harrell-Seyburn
Property: 619 N. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd, Lansing
Owner Eileen Ridenour said that she and her family have lived in the home for 39 years. They have done extensive remodeling indoors, and have painted the exterior many times. She said she believed the house was built in the 1920s.
Choosing the correct shade of color for your house can be challenging and immensely rewarding. Too subtle a color can wash out a beautiful home. Too brilliant a color can overwhelm. The trick is to achieve the correct balance. Painted a lustrous shade of blue with contrasting white trim, this house demonstrates how well the use of color (neither too bright nor too subtle) can highlight the best features and add a cheery splash of color to the neighborhood.
A lesson on choosing colors for your house by Amanda Harrell-Seyburn:
"Eye candy of the Week" is our weekly look at some of the nicer properties in Lansing. It rotates each with Eyesore of the Week. If you have a suggestion, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or call Neal McNamara at 371-5600 ex. 17.

Summer in the Caribbean
By MICHELLE HIGGINS
Published: June 15, 2008
HOUSTON in summer can be a miserable place.
''It's 100 degrees and 100 percent humidity -- in the shade,'' said Crystal Hadnott, a career counselor for a scholarship fund. That's why many Houstonians often head to the beaches of Galveston, about an hour's drive away, in search of a temporary respite from the city heat.
But last Memorial Day weekend, Ms. Hadnott and a few of her friends skipped the traffic jams and got on a plane instead -- and soon found themselves at a hotel on the Caribbean island of St. Thomas, enjoying the sparkling turquoise waters, the nearly empty beaches and, most important, the cooling ocean breezes that kept daytime temperatures in the high 70s and low 80s. ''It was beautiful,'' Ms. Hadnott said. And not expensive: the entire cost, including airfare, hotel, airport transfers, all meals and drinks, was roughly $1,100 a person.
The experience was so great that this year, she and several of her friends went south again for Memorial Day, this time to Aruba.
The Caribbean in summer? It's a more appealing option than you might think, especially if you're looking for a bargain vacation this year. Here are a few reasons:
1. Prices are lower, with some hotels and resorts cutting as much as 60 percent off their winter rates.
2. Temperatures are typically only a few degrees higher than they are in the peak travel months of January through March. And they can be even lower than you'll find at popular beach spots back in the United States. (For example, last Sunday, the temperature hit 93 in New York; it was 88 in Montego Bay, Jamaica and 88 on St. Lucia.)
3. The threat of hurricanes is certainly real, but perhaps not as great as you might imagine. Only one has hit the Caribbean before July 8 in the last decade -- Hurricane Dennis, a Category 3 storm, which passed just east and north of Jamaica on July 7, 2005, producing hurricane conditions on the island. (This year the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration projects a ''near normal or above normal'' hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to Nov. 30 with the peak typically occurring from mid-August to mid-October.)
4. Did we mention that prices are lower?
This summer, rooms at Ritz-Carlton Golf and Spa Resort, Rose Hall, in Jamaica can be had for as little as $199 a night compared with $509 in mid-March. Starting rates at the Four Seasons Resort in Nevis drop to $335 a night from $490, and families traveling with children 18 or under can get a second room for half the cost or as low as $167.50 a night.
Despite the overall trend in rising airfares, prices of Caribbean packages, including airline tickets, are down 16 percent compared with peak travel, according to CheapTickets.com. That travel Web site is offering five-night getaways from Chicago starting at $769 a person to the Gran Meli?uerto Rico in San Juan in June, and $1,345 a person at Aruba's Hyatt Regency hotel in July from New York. FunJet Vacations has been offering three-night trips including airfare for as low as $650 a person from New York to Aruba or $765 a person to Barbados.
In some cases, practically entire islands are on sale. St. Maarten, the United States Virgin Islands and the Cayman Islands are all offering island-wide summer promotions including a night free at a bevy of resorts and discounts for tourist activities. (Information at www.vacationstmaarten.com, www.usvitourism.vi, and www.caymanislands.ky.)
The islands themselves are getting a lot more aggressive about trying to lure visitors over the slower summer months with festivals that show off what the island has to offer in the way of food, history, culture or music. Each summer, for example, Barbados celebrates Crop Over (www.barbados.org/cropover.htm), a festival that can be traced back to the late 1780s, as a way to mark the end of the sugar-cane cutting season. Today, it's a tourist draw involving calypso competitions and parades. Last year, Bonaire created the water-oriented Dive into Summer event (www.bonairediveintosummer.com), which it plans to repeat this year. Grenada's Carnival, one of the island's biggest festivals, begins in July and gains momentum leading up to Carnival Sunday, usually in the second week of August.
Other islands try to draw visitors with big-name stars. In July Jamaica hosts the Reggae Sumfest, which has featured such popular performers as Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent and Missy Elliott. And for the first time this year, the Cayman Islands will host a championship-boxing event -- Cayman Knockout, to be held on Friday, June 20. In a super middleweight bout, the Olympic Gold medalist Andre Ward will fight the former Olympian Jerson Ravelo, and in a heavyweight match, Eddie Chambers will take on Raphael Butler. ''We want tourism to the Caribbean to be a year-round exciting experience for travelers,'' said Hugh Riley, a chief operating officer for the Caribbean Tourism Development Company.
Of course, there can be drawbacks to summering in the Caribbean. Some nonstop flights that run all winter long go on hiatus, requiring travelers whol want to fly from Philadelphia to St. Lucia, for example, to make an extra stop or two. Once on the island, travelers may find that a number of restaurants or shops are closed for the season, resorts are undergoing construction, and staffing may not be quite as robust as it is during the winter.

"The pleasure has been ours working with such an amazing professional person. You have been tireless and at our beck and call whenever needed. We must have seen a record number of properties but got there in the end with your endless patience" Vendor.December 2016
"Excellent, professional service from all the staff. No hesitation in recommending them." Vendor.September 2016
"Thanks so much for your input on this one. You are very easy to deal with, extremely professional and so friendly, helpful and charming with it. Look forward to many more such encounters." Z.R.July 2016
"Just a brief note to thank you for your enormous help in getting this transaction to an exchange. This was a tricky sale which would not have happened without your continuous input, effort, enthusiasm and assistance. I hope that our mutual client, the seller, realises how lucky he was to have you working for him, and that you went well beyond what any seller's agent is expected to do, even turning up late one night at my house with a bundle of documents! I have thoroughly enjoyed working with you over the last few months and hope that we are able to do more business in the future".Vendor's solictor, February 2016
"Very helpful and friendly as well as professional. Would absolutely use again."J.A., Landlord January 2016
"Knight Frank was appointed to lease my flat in St Giles last quarter, and Emily was assigned to handle the tenancy matters. She found me a n umber of potential tenants within a couple of days, provided me with advice so that I could conclude the deal shortly, and duly followed up every related matter even after leasing out the flat in a professional manner."S.C., Landlord January 2016
"Very helpful and friendly as well as professional. Would absolutely use again."J.A., Landlord January 2016 "Knight Frank provided sterling service in both helping us to sell our home in one area of London and find a place to rent in another area. At all times, agents were helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and happy to co-operate across offices. We were very pleased with the results and would recommend Knight Frank without reservation." P.W., Tenant/Vendor December 2015
"We switched to Knight Frank to act as sole agent for the sale of our flat in Mayfair. Jenna and the rest of the team reinvigorated the sales process with lots of positive energy in a difficult and sluggish market. The weekly written feedback on all viewing was insightful and gave us confidence that we were being well looked after. Jenna's considered advice on which of two offers to accept was helpful and she was very proactive in getting contracts exchanged with a smooth and swift completion. With the service that they provide Knight Frank rightly deserve their commanding market share in Mayfair. We will go directly to them next time." I.C., Vendor, November 2015
"I would like to thank the entire team at the Knight Frank office in Mayfair and especially Alastair Nicholson for the sale of my property. The team have always been very helpful and pleasant. Alastair has always gone above and beyond of what was expected and has always put my best interests first. The property was not your usual sale and was quite complicated, Alastair dealt with this with exceptional professionalism. I was also introduced to your Belgravia and Islington office via Alastair, the Islington office was amazing and sold another property of mine at asking price, I am just about to advertise with the Belgravia office." A.A., Vendor, October 2015
"I am pleased that Knight Frank were appointed as agents to sell my home in Mayfair. Not all agents give such straight forward and honest advice and this made a refreshing change. Alastair and his team remained committed to the sale process throughout, working weekends and well into the evenings to get the deal done. I am thoroughly thankful for their services and would recommend them to anyone wishing to sell a property in the Mayfair area." S.S., Vendor, October 2015
"The sale of the property simply would not have happened if Simon hadn't been my agent. He truly went above and beyond to ensure the sale went through, comforting both the buyer and myself along the road. At the very beginning he dedicated a lot of time opening my eyes to the market and then came up with the best plan of action to get the right buyers through the door for viewings. Once he found the buyer he skilfully managed to encourage the buyer to offer the right price for which I am very grateful. Coming to exchange has been a painful process and what could go wrong, did. Simon was available all the time and tackled each hurdle in his stride. He is brilliant with people and knows what to say or how hard to push them to achieve the goals or simply to keep everything moving. I can honestly say that Simon is as involved and dedicated to the sale as I am!" Vendor, September 2015
"Our decision to ask Knight Frank's Mayfair office to handle the sale of our penthouse, has indeed been vindicated. The property went on the market at the end February 2015, in a difficult, pre-election period. However Knight Frank brought forward an offer and we exchanged contracts in just a few months, and at a record price per square foot. Although the apartment is an outstanding product, Harvey Cyzer and his team provided a wonderful service. At no time were they found wanting. In particular, Harvey's commitment is 100%. His attention to detail and tenacity, could not be higher if the property were his own! All in all 11 out of 10." T.M., Vendor, July 2015
"Thank you for the five star service. Of all of the Soho agents you were the most proactive and advisory and in the end the one who sold the flat. The best agent ever." E.C., Vendor, July 2015
"I am extremely satisfied with my experience from start to finish. Communication from Knight Frank was excellent. Reporting was excellent. Overall very happy and would recommend KF Mayfair office to anyone looking in the area." W.N., Vendor, June 2015
"Jenna is a very good and effective property professional, she handled our transaction with relentless enthusiasm and energy. Our buyer needed a lot of pushing to get to exchange and Jenna was the person who did that for us. She navigated the treacly line between commercial necessity and keeping the buyer/client onside with diplomacy. Further back in the proceedings she additionally negotiated the offer price up successfully too, well done. And obviously the viewings process went well. I am very impressed by all she has done for us, thank you Jenna. I will also mention Alastair's contribution to the sale, his input was of the highest order. Right from negotiating terms through to guiding the sale he has been a very useful person to deal with. Lastly Holly Cleave, who is a credit to the office. Thanks go to her for arranging the brochure so efficiently and effectively. A thoroughly pleasant person to deal with." P.R. Vendor, March 2015
"I recently acquired and sold my house through your Mayfair office and wanted to say what a pleasure it was in dealing with the team on this transaction. I acquired the site from Knight Frank back in October 2012, working closely with Harvey, Simon and Alastair on layouts and design. The product that was created was outstanding and I strongly feel that all parties pulled their weight in making sure this was possible. The sales process was immaculate with absolute transparency throughout. I was provided regular updates on all viewings, interest and any issues. Communication is key to this game and its certainly something the team were on top of. The level of care to all parties was second to none. I look forward to working with Knight Frank on future transactions and would highly recommend your services to other family offices & developers." A.G., Vendor,January 2015
"Thanks for your efforts on this sale, your advice throughout was impeccable and to have concluded such a difficult transaction was a real credit to you, this would not have happened without you" Vendor, September 2016
"I just wanted to write and thank you for the outstanding service and advice that you've given me over the last 12 months. You have been absolutely superb throughout this process, which as you say, at times has been very stressful. I really appreciate your calm and helpful advice and it has been a great pleasure working with you. Again many thanks. You've done a fantastic job."K.T., Vendor April 2016
"Knight Frank Mayfair delivered on every promise. Their attention to detail and follow up during an accelerated sale process was first class. I have no hesitation in recommending Simon and the team."P.Y., Vendor April 2016
"Simon was very attentive, courteous and acted with the upmost professionalism at all times bringing the sale of the penthouse to a quick conclusion. We would recommend him wholeheartedly."D.P., Vendor February 2016
"Jenna and the Knight Frank team were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Jenna's communication throughout the process was excellent and within six days of the property going to market, she had it under offer. Once under offer, Jenna's commitment to seeing it exchange before Christmas was nothing short of fabulous. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and the Knight Frank team and I look forward to working on future projects with them."S.N., Vendor January 2016
"Jenna acted very professionally from inception of acquisition right through to disposal, providing market evidence, sentiment and specification requirements promptly on request. Most importantly for a developer she was spot on with regards to exit value which we achieved having marketed the property for a total of 6 days."G.D., Vendor January 2016
"I thought everything was really great. Everything was done efficiently - I didn't have to wait to get a response from you, and was able to move in within one week of singing in so thanks so much for everything."L.L., Tenant August 2015
"Thank you, dear Simon, for your determined, subtle and resourceful efforts over the last few months. Indeed, we made a pretty good team, didn't we? But I am happy – and so very relieved – that a lengthy, and sometimes fraught, process is now over. Throughout I've been so impressed how you are able to maintain gentleness of tone, courtesy and clarity of thought at all times - no mean feat. You have worked so hard and are the most special estate agent I have encountered." G.B., Vendor, November 2015
"Knight Frank sold our property in line with our expectations. Jenna Buck managed the process in a patient, professional and courteous manner over the period of the sale which contributed to the successful completion." A.J., Vendor, October 2015
"Thank you so much for assisting us with the sale of our house, which has always been dealt with in a very friendly and professional way. We are so grateful the way that yourself and Knight Frank have conducted the sale for us as the circumstances regarding the sale were very sudden and extremely sad for the entire family. You have kept us updated every step of the way and have been very kind and helpful throughout the whole process. I would definitely recommend Knight Frank as an agent and have nothing but praise for you and your team." D.C., Vendor, July 2015
"We would like to extend our most sincere thanks for all of your efforts when selling our property. It was far from easy, as you were the second agents to take the instruction but your knowledge of the local area and pricing, in conjunction with your extreme work ethic resulted in us achieving a sale at the highest level. We particularly appreciated the constant feedback and dialogue throughout and when the offer got very tough this was invaluable, and without doubt saved the deal. Simply put, Knight Frank have yet again performed perfectly, and can best be described as the international local agent. Five star." M.L., Vendor, April 2015

The dictionary definition of a plaque is "a thin, flat plate or tablet of metal, porcelain, stone, etc., intended for ornament, as on a wall, or set in a piece of furniture" or as "an inscribed commemorative tablet, usually of metal [or polished marble or granite] placed on a building, monument, or the like."
In this article, we'll explore the bronze plaque and the aluminum plaque as memorials and signs.
The Bronze Plaque as a Historical Sign and Marker
The bronze plaque is frequently used as memorial plates for various historical or important locations. Historically, it has been in use for at least a few millenia, and the four Botorrita plaques, discovered between 1970 and 1994, are bronze plaques discovered in Botorrita (Roman Contrebia Belaisca), close to Zaragoza, Spain, dating back to 1st century BC.
This was cast in 1982 and commemorates a pre-Revolutionary battle led by Charles and Andrew March, who, with 1200 colonists engaged a band of Shawnee Indians at Point Pleasant (oh, the irony!) in West Virginia on the Ohio River.
The one on this Bank of Scotland facility in this picture probably dates back to the 1700's or 1800's.
The township of Madison Green, Connecticut, dates back to early colonial days, and the green, or park, houses three war memorial plaques set in either boulders or a cut stone monument. The Revolutionary War, World War I, World War II, and the Korean War, are all commemorated by the metal signage created for each one.
Cast Aluminum Plaques – Why They're Becoming More Popular
Now, these are used more frequently as they are less expensive, and they are easier to cast or mold than bronze. The "Victims of Terrorist Attack on the Pentagon Memorial" is a new memorial constructed at the Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. It commemorates the victims of the September 11 attack on The Pentagon, in particular the five individuals from whom no identifiable remains could be found. There are 184 names inscribed in the aluminum plaque of those who died in the attack.
Another interesting plaques were the gold-anodized place on board the Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 in 1972 and 1973, respectively. They were designed to show extra-terrestrial life the origin of the spacecraft in case they were intercepted by alien spacecraft and featured the nude outlines of a man and woman and some other symbols that were intended to help the extra-terrestrials figure out where the craft came from, then blow us to smithereens as depicted in many Hollywood movies.
Metal Plaque Uses in the 21st Century
In our line of business, we've created quite a number of plaque signs over the years, mostly for some type of memorial or recognition, but also for address and house number. We've also done a number for businesses in areas of town where gaudier signs weren't allowed, and on older buildings where it just seemed that the bronze kind was really the only sign that fit the look of the building.
Technology has changed the way some of them are decorated in the past 20 years or so. Although the basic metal plaque is still made in much the same way as the Romans did it 2000 years ago, there have been some technology advances over the past few decades that made it possible to etch them, add color photos, and create BAS and Photo Relief portraits, Flat Relief portraits, and Glazed Porcelain Photos can all be added to plaques.
Most that are used as signs or memorials are around 3/8″ to 1/2″ thick, but there are also 1/8″ "thin gauge" plaques available now. Copy on the bronze one is almost always in relief, or raised. The letters or logos can also be painted, and the background is typically painted with a durable urethane. Other material options include stainless steel, copper, and brass, although these materials are typically etched rather than cast. Brass can be cast, as can copper, but stainless steel, at this time, cannot be that we're aware of.
Finally, when it comes to a sign that says your establishment doesn't cut corners, the bronze plaque or the aluminum plaque will say it more convincingly than most other sign options. Click here to find out for more.

Review for Plan International USA, Inc., Warwick, RI, USA
I have never given money to Plan; in fact, I convinced my mother not to give to their child sponsorship a couple of years ago, because of the rating. However, I am now prepared to donate to this charity because of the work I saw they were doing in Zimbabwe. I have just returned from a mission trip there where we are supporting an orphan trust. Everywhere I went, people at schools and clinics were saying that PLAN had made contributions and donations that were invaluable. Anyone who helps my friends is a friend to me. I also am pleased that they have no religious or government affiliation.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I witnessed work of PLAN in zimbabwe, where the organization was said to have provided schools, houses for nurses and schoolteachers, primary school books and medicines.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Not sure. Perhaps continue to try to spend less on fundraising.

Guide - Buying and Working with Wigs
Buns and Other Shapes
It isn't easy to put a wig into a bun solely using wig fibre. Starting with a styrofoam ball, covering it in wig fibre and attaching it to the wig is far easier and neater.
Start by hollowing out the styrofoam ball at one end. Glue the ends of extensions into this hole, and carefully wrap the loose fibre round it. Colouring the foam the colour of the fibre first can be helpful in case any areas show through. Either use hairspray to keep the fibre in place, or coat the ball in glue as you go.
http://www.pettingzoowigs.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=20 (Some images are shown further down the page)
A simplified method is shown here: http://caiyx.livejournal.com/10316.html
This essentially involves looping extensions over the ball and tying them in place, which is only really suitable if the style needs a ponytail coming from the ball, or you can find a way to conceal it.
An alternative is to pierce a hole through the centre of the ball and pull the extensions through it. Glue the ends of the extensions at one end of the hole so they stay fixed in place. The other end will have the loose extensions. Fan these out, and glue them down covering the ball. This method is generally easier than wrapping.
To attach the bun to the wig, glue is fine if you're careful, but a few stitches will help it stay secure and be less risky then glue. If the wig is to be tied back into a bun, you can cut off the ponytail, glue the remaining stump of hair into a solid lump, and slide the bun over it using the hole pierced in it. The method of "stubbing" is clearly explained here:
If it's a Sailor Moon type style with ponytails coming from the buns, use the same method as above, but before sticking the buns down over the stumps, add on ponytails (using extensions), and then place the buns over both the ponytail and stump.
A useful guide to a Sailor Moon wig: http://charmedseed.livejournal.com/10260.html
The principle of using a foam shape as a base applies to other shapes besides buns. It's important to remember that wigs are not hair, and normal rules of styling are suspended, so bear foam in mind.

My S3 has none 34 rounds since new, in that time the freewheel clutches have failed 3 times. on the last occasion the local agent says the failure is due to the gearbox filling with water due to the trolley being driven through a puddle.Have sent a report to Motocaddy UK but they have replied that I should refer the problem to " my distributor " they only deal with problems in the UK. Without the problems would have been a reasonably buy.
If their gearboxes can fill with water this should be disclosed at the time when you are buying the trolley
