How are the diff buffets?
Seem very reasonably priced
I have had both the breakfast and the dinner buffets, both are very good. The breakfast is very reasonable. Nothing onsite can be categorized as cheap but the breakfast buffet there is as close as it comes

Dinner is yummy. Fried chicken, corn-on-the-cob, dinner rolls, salad, lots of sides. It's one of the best bargains at WDW.
the breakfast has a slightly smaller selection than the more expensive buffets,think it was just bacon and sausage for meats when we went. mickey waffles, eggs premade ( do not think you can get omletes but never tried !) pancakes and french toast, usual cold and hot cereals,pastry,ect...the very best breakfast pizza imo as it is on a biscuit like crust rather than pizza like crust. great bargain and good food...and we always go for at least one meal( breakfast last time ) comparable bargain is whispering canyon allyou can eat breakfast skillet...but do not think that includes drinks like TE does
but this is on our list for the summer.....so many good reviews of the buffet - I LOVE THE DIS boards. I can't wait to try it.
We find the food there so yummy and the people are so friendly. Bob was awsome. The prices are better that any other buffet on site. It's a quick boat ride from the MK and a great escape from the parks. WL is our favorite resort and it's a quick trip over for any meal.

Can you get to Trails End directly by boat?
or do you have to go to the main lodge, then by bus over to the campgrounds to get to the Trails End?
You can take the boat directly to it. Trails End is located at the rear of the resort near bay lake and is a short walk from the dock.
Just ate there a few days ago.
You can't beat the price for the food.
We all loved it.
We had choices of ribs (same as HDDR) fried chicken, salmon, pork loin,salad bar, pizza, ravioli, grilled veggies, 2 soups and apple cobbler and bread pudding for desserts. You can dump some wonderful warm vanilla sauce with warm strawberries on top of your bread pudding. It was heavenly!
Everyone was happy eating there.
Just wanted to chime in that the lunch buffet at Trail's End is very good too. If you go during the week and have annual passes, you get 10% off too. Good value, good food and a nice escape from the parks. VERY friendly castmembers too. Enjoy!
we're staying at the VWL - MIL is hoping to board her dog at FW
So we'll be there twice a day anyways
Figure we may as well really check out Ft Wilderness while we're there
We have had lunch and dinner there. Great food and very reasonably priced. Nothing fancy, just good and hearty food. We try to eat there once a trip.
We liked Trail's End so much,we're having our welcome party for our wedding there. You can't beat 15.95 for dinner when you walk out as stuffed as you will get.
however, if memoryserves me, they do not take PS's.
~ Chris
We are going in June and would like to try this restaurant; we're stay at the AKL - what is the easiest way to get there from Magic Kingdom?
There is a boat from MK to FW.
I think the boat from MK to FW only runs about 1/ 2 pre park opening but there is also a boat from the Contemporary and WL that go to Fw. we went for an early Breakfast in Jan and the MK bus driver took us to the contemp. it was long before park opening and only 3 families were on the bus, one going to CRT,one to chef Mickey and us to trail's end. he might have dropped us off there if we had mentioned it but we wanted to take the boat for old times sake anyway!( plus much faster thatn the bus to FW) we just asked him how to get to the contem. from mk ( faked dumbness, not all that hard to do hehe) and he offered to take us..very nice of him ! it used to be 2 different boats, one to MK and one that went to the 3 resorts & I think it still is.
so does anyone know for sure if they take ps or not?
No, they do not take PS. You usually don't need them, unless you go at a really peak time (maybe around 6:00 for dinner). Then, you can wait on the front porch and have a drink from Crockett's tavern!
There is never a wait for breakfast or lunch.

Polites, who is largely credited with turning around Ford Australia following the disappointing sales of the widely-criticised AU Falcon in the late 1990s, will take up a new position as vice-president, European sales staffs from April 1.
An indication of Polites' energy and success is that he will be replaced by not one but two people – American Thomas Gorman as president and John Crew as executive vice-president, operations – from March 1.
"Geoff Polites has done a terrific job in Australia, and the product line has never been better," Ford's Asia-Pacific group vice-president Mark Schulz said. "His talents will be put to excellent use in Europe."
Polites was popular with staff at Ford's Geelong and Broadmeadows plants and was largely instrumental in the Falcon's eventual success. During his reign, the Falcon ended the Holden Commodore's record six-year sales-winning streak.
The personable and feisty boss will undoubtedly be disappointed that he will not get to see how his "baby" – the Territory off-roader – is received when it goes on sale in June. "To say I have enjoyed my time at Ford Australia would be a major understatement," Polites said.
"The five years I have spent here have had their moments, but I will always be enormously proud to have been a part of the success of BA Falcon and the development of the new Ford Territory, which I know will be a winner."
The Falcon-based Territory is an integral part of Ford Australia's turnaround and has been mooted as a potential export-earner.
Polites' appointment to the troubled European operation is not the first time a Ford Australia president has moved up in the company's global empire; former president Jac Nasser went on to head the company.
The move comes only two months after retiring Holden chairman and managing director Peter Hanenberger was replaced by American Denny Mooney.

A Southern California wildfire that forced the evacuation of 1,600 foothill homes was 53 percent contained Friday afternoon, according to officials.
The fire is only smoldering now, with no active flame, after burning through at least 1,627 acres of brush. No homes have burned in the area east of Los Angeles, and there are no mandatory evacuations.
Winds in the area below the San Bernardino National Forest were around 15 mph Thursday night, with 25-mph gusts — a far cry from the 70-mph gusts a day earlier.
The Etiwanda fire had started in the San Bernardino Mountains near Rancho Cucamonga Wednesday morning, and Santa Ana winds fed the fire and pushed smoke into nearby neighborhoods.
About 1,600 homes were evacuated Wednesday, but families were allowed to return home for the night. Officials did urge people in some northern neighborhoods of Rancho Cucamonga to leave voluntarily if they felt threatened, said Chon Bribiescas, a spokesman for the U.S. Forest Service.
(WATCH: Fire Danger Threat Skyrockets in California)
Weather.com meteorologist Jon Erdman said winds should continue to ease Friday, but the forecast for the drought-ridden state doesn't show much relief.
"Unfortunately, there is no rain in the forecast," Erdman explained. "May kicks off California's dry season. From May through September, downtown L.A. only picks up a total of 0.64 inches of rain, on average."
(MORE: Rancho Cucamonga, California, Forecast)
The winds also fanned a handful of small brush fires around Southern California on Wednesday that were quickly doused without damage.
At one point, utilities reported about 8,000 people had lost power because of wind-related problems such as downed power lines.

Hello, and welcome.
If you're here, it's likely you're looking for some support for yourself or a loved one. My goal is to help make that as easy as possible. Life can get complicated. Often. Counseling can be a place to figure out why the things that are hard on you are in fact so hard. It's a way to better get to know yourself, and maximize your inherent strengths.
Choosing a therapist can be daunting and overwhelming. If you've landed here, you've probably spent some time wondering how it might go. When you contact me (by voice text or email – whichever feels most comfortable) you can ask me any questions that you have – about counseling, about what's going on for you, about how I work. So what now?

The President has, so far, received a warm welcome on his European trip, with plenty of good photo opportunities including drinking Guinness in Ireland and playing table tennis with David Cameron in London.
Speaking at Westminster Hall in front of both Houses of Parliament, Obama focused upon the "special relationship" between the UK and the US.
After his speech, the President received a one minute standing ovation, showing that the speech had gone down well, with the possible exception of a tired Kenneth Clarke.

windows 7
What is the fastest, powerfulest, thinnest, lightest laptop available?
I am wondering has laptop technology reached the point where a super-powerful laptop is also thin, light, and portable (with little to no compromising between power and lightness)?
For example, I suppose I'm looking for something as powerful as an alienware notebook, but as light and nimble as a macbook air.
The closest thing I could find is the new Asus Zenbook , but are there any others? And how well does Zenbook fit the power+lightness description. Or maybe technology has not reached what I am describing?

An area college is hoping to help with economic development in southeastern Ohio.
Zane State College President Paul Brown met with Muskingum County Commissioners on Monday to sign an agreement that will transfer the land currently occupied by the former County Home to the college so they can build an Advanced Science and Technology Center.
"It's great to have partners like the commissioners that are forwarding thinking about what this community can become and how great it could be with a trained work force in the sciences," said President Dr. Paul Brown.
The facility will offer a wide variety of programs focusing on areas like geothermal technology and solar and wind energy. Brown said this is a part of their investment campaign and believes it will help with job growth in the community.
"The trained work force is then going to translate to more jobs in the community and raise the standard of life for all the community because we're bringing more industry into the area," said Dr. Brown.
He said they hope to break ground by 2012 and have the facility fully operation by 2013.

The Director of the Salmmah Women's Resource Center in Sudan explains how the organization is changing laws and advocating on behalf of women in a country ruled by Islamic law.
IMOW: As the director of Salmmah Women's Resource Center, what would you say is your organization's main objective?
A Saudi Arabian website shared a document allegedly issued by an all female university warning them to not "hug" each other or they would face being transferred to a mental examination by the school.
A secular Egyptian woman outlines the disappointments written into the country's new constitution, passed in late December. Women have had only one legal advance since the revolution: prosecuting sex harassment.
It will pass… a draft of a constitution that doesn't represent Egyptians or their dreams. A draft that did not engage them in the dialogue for change, which passed just two before the referendum, without giving Egyptians the opportunity to discuss it. When the revolution started, Egyptians looked forward to a time where they could evaluate their beliefs and values, discuss them, even change them and reflect it all in a document that recorded the whole process. But this never happened.
Despite the passage of pro-women laws perpetrators continue to inflict violence against women with impunity.
November 25 was designated the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women in December 1999 by the UN General Assembly. It marks the death anniversary of the three Mirabel sisters assassinated in 1960 by the dictator Rafael Trujillo for their fight against Trujillo's dictatorship in the Dominican Republic. Activists on women's rights have observed a day against violence on the anniversary of the deaths of these three women since 1981.
اگرچه این روزها بحث مخالفت با حجاب اجباری در فضای مجازی داغ است و کمپینهای مختلف سایبری با انتشار عکسها، مصاحبه ها و شرح احوالات زنان و مردان ایرانی در خصوص حجاب اجباری سعی در نقد و اعتراض به سیاستهای ۳۳ساله جمهوری اسلامی در خصوص تحمیل یک نوع پوشش خاص و متحد الشکل به زنان ایرانی دارند. ولی بحث حجاب اگر از منظر بین المللی آن نیز مورد توجه قرار گیرد شاید برخورد با مسئله حجاب و اعتراض به اجباری بودن آن را قابل تاملتر کند.
Depriving women of their basic rights is not a new subject. But when these rights are ignored by social activists in the name of culture or religion we must be alarmed. Now is the time to stop justifying mandatory hijab in the name of religion, nation, country, or culture. It is time to remind ourselves, as women and human rights activists, that when it comes to women's rights, there is no room for appeasement.
I write this on the tenth day of the #SudanRevolts tide that has started to sweep Sudan.
Sudan is a land of revolutionaries. They started in the 20th century with the Mahdi revolution against the British occupation and the ruling Egyptian government and today Sudan is revolting against militarization, human rights atrocities, poverty, corruption and fundamentalism.
The run-off for presidency elections in Egypt are this weekend – the first after the ongoing Egyptian revolution. The two candidates were the least expected to be at this stage: Mohamed Morsi, who represents the "political arm" of a group, the Muslim Brotherhood, that sees "Islam is the Solution," and the other is Ahmed Shafik, who belongs to the Military that has been running Egypt for the last (60) years and still. Every one who is following the progress of events and incidents in Egypt is curious and everyone inside Egypt is worried, even if their decision is to choose one over the other or to boycott the run-off.
Muslims today are young, sexually and politically frustrated. This isn't the strapline of a new reality show, but the conclusions of stereotype-laden analysis from the Daily Beast. Data from Google Trends showed that six of the ten countries most frequently searching for the word "sex" on the search engine have a Muslim majority.

The Specific Betrayal of Brand New
Zoe Camp, writing for The Outline:
There are those desperately searching for an argument that will let them reconcile their love of Lacey's art with the admitted events, or offering limp defenses of his actions by noting that of course a teen girl would want to exchange flirty photos with a rock star, never mind the myriad reasons why a grown man is supposed to know better. (Equally toxic have been the invocations of Lacey's mental health as excuses for his indiscretion, suggesting that he just couldn't help himself.)
The bleeding heart angst of emo's singers leaked down to its boy fans; just ask any female emo fan about her experience with the men who treated them worse than the jocks they supposedly despised for being uncouth. It's depressingly unsurprising now when a powerful man is revealed as having acted shittily toward the women around him, and less so when he comes from an environment as male-focused as emo – even when it's somebody who was supposed to be as thoughtful as Lacey.
There's been a swath of these articles written today and I recommend reading them all. Over the past few days I've received countless emails and messages from people wanting to talk about the rot at the heart of our music scene. I've heard from people who were abused by some of the more well-known frontmen in the scene, but aren't ready to come forward yet. And I've heard from many that are. We, as a community, are going to need to face all of this head-on and come to terms with our own culpability as well.
I also want to say I am extremely disappointed that Brand New (with or without Jesse's name attached) have not come out and asked their fans to not harass the women that have come forward with their stories. This has led to conspiracy theories spreading, harassment, and some truly disgusting behavior. Bands, labels, and all those associated with artists or celebrities need to know that part of their job when something like this comes out into the open is to make sure they're active in the process. You can't be silent while someone is re-victimized and think you've taken the moral high-ground. I believe it's important to use your power and platform for good, and healing, not just when you want to sell records.
The End of the Emo Era Is Breaking My Teenage Heart
Shannon Keating, writing for Buzzfeed:
As a 15-year-old, if I had been approached by the lead singer of a band I believed had saved my life, there's no telling what I would have done for him, had he asked. He and other punk-rock icons stared out at me from my bedroom walls every day, where I'd obscured my pathetically girly cloud-swirled blue wallpaper with posters and photo spreads from the Alternative Press. Lacey was my hero. I have a feeling I would have given him anything he wanted.
Like Garey, like every teenager, I was a know-it-all who thought I was a grown-up, so I wouldn't have recognized that kind of behavior for what it was. But I also believed, at 15, that emo boys — and men — were different from "regular" guys. Emo guys were, yes, "emotional," and introspective, and artistic, and they imbued everything with the kind of emotional weight I did as a shitty-poetry-writing teen

The Criminal Justice System Stalks Black People Like Meek Mill
Jay Z, writing for The New York Times:
On the surface, this may look like the story of yet another criminal rapper who didn't smarten up and is back where he started. But consider this: Meek was around 19 when he was convicted on charges relating to drug and gun possession, and he served an eight-month sentence. Now he's 30, so he has been on probation for basically his entire adult life. For about a decade, he's been stalked by a system that considers the slightest infraction a justification for locking him back inside.

Unraveling the Sexism of Emo's Third Wave
Jenn Pelly, writing for Pitchfork:
Third-wave emo—bubblegum emo—needed its female fans, as evidenced by the swaths of girls who screamed this music back, who took photos, who muscled against stages to get as close as possible without being crushed. But the scene did not really want us.
I am suggesting here that there is a correlation between misogynist art, the young people who make it, and the younger people who consume it. That is not a radical idea, and it strikes me now as dubious that any longtime Brand New fan would be completely shocked by these allegations. Women have long been shouting about the fucked-up power dynamics of pop-punk and third-wave emo, which have continued into the present.

When to use 'which' and when to use 'that'
It is a lovely summer afternoon, as I write; the sky is blue, the clouds are puffy, and a gentle breeze is blowing. And here I am at my desk, doing a little summer grammar review.
I want to make sure I'm clear on the use of 'which' and 'that' in complex sentences.
Both are relative pronouns; they introduce dependent, or subordinate, clauses. They are 'relative' — they 'establish a relation between' subordinate and main clauses. That introduces essential, or restrictive, clauses. Which introduces non-essential, or non-restrictive, clauses: material that's not necessarily superfluous, but just not the main point.
For instance: "The house that Peter has bought was once the home of a famous professor."
'That Peter has bought' is essential; without it you don't really have much of a sentence. By contrast: "Peter's house, which he's owned for several years, was designed by a famous architect." The 'which' clause has useful but not essential information.
Mignon Fogarty, aka Grammar Girl, says which/that questions are among the most frequent ones she gets, and explains: "Here's the deal: some people will argue that the rules are more complex and flexible than this, but I like to make things as simple as possible, so I say that you use that before a restrictive clause and which before everything else."
Here's her mnemonic: "If you think of the Wicked Witch [Which] of the West from The Wizard of Oz, you know it's okay to throw her out. You won't change the meaning of the sentence without the which phrase. So, you can throw out the which [or witch] clause, commas and all."
Narrowing it down
The Chicago Manual of Style takes much the same line, albeit a bit less breezily: "In polished American prose, that is used restrictively to narrow a category or identify a particular item being talked about…; which is used non-restrictively — not to narrow a class or identify a particular item but to add something about an item already identified."
But Grammar Girl is right: Some people will argue that the rules are more complex and flexible than that.
For one thing, with prepositions, you have to use which: "The house in which he has lived for 20 years ..."
Also, some authorities call for which with an essential clause if you already have an essential clause with that: "He said Monday that the part of the army which suffered severe casualties needs reinforcement."
That sentence, from The Associated Press Stylebook, appears in a number of style guides. That so many guides use the same example tells me that this nuance is not exactly graven on the hearts of the people.
One Air Force guide that cites it adds, "Follow this rule even if your word-processor's spelling and grammar check function prompts you to change your use of who, that or which in your writing."
A further wrinkle here is that British usage varies somewhat from American.
In its style guide, The Economist, which generally takes a no-nonsense view of things, enunciates the same principle as Grammar Girl, but then uncharacteristically fudges: "Americans tend to be fussy about making a distinction between which and that. Good writers of British English are less fastidious. ("We have left undone those things which we ought to have done.")
The quotation is from the Book of Common Prayer, which was published in 1928 — before people let their grammar-checkers push them around.

UN slams Katie Hopkins for vicious slur on migrants
Controversial newspaper columnist Katie Hopkins has been blasted by the UN's High Commissioner for Human Rights after she likened migrants to cockroaches.
Jordanian Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein said the reality television star had used language in her Sun column similar to that used by newspapers and radio stations in Rwanda before the 1994 genocide that led to hundreds of thousands of people being slaughtered.
He urged authorities in the UK to use the law to clamp down on "vicious verbal assault on migrants and asylum seekers in the UK tabloid Press", adding: "The Nazi media described people their masters wanted to eliminate as rats and cockroaches.
"This type of language is unacceptable, especially in a national newspaper."
Hopkins wrote in The Sun last week that the UK should use gunships to send migrant boats home, adding: "Make no mistake, these migrants are like cockroaches. They are built to survive a nuclear bomb."

NRCS, USFWS Partner to Accelerate Conservation on Agricultural Lands for the Monarch Butterfly
News Article -
News Article -
The monarch butterfly is a new national priority species of Working Lands for Wildlife (WLFW), a partnership between the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). NRCS and USFWS recently completed a conference report that explains how conservation practices can help the eastern monarch population, a species known for its remarkable annual, multi-generational migration.
Through WLFW, NRCS provides technical and financial assistance to help producers adopt conservation practices that benefit the monarch. Meanwhile, through the conference report, the USFWS provides producers with regulatory predictability should the monarch become listed under the ESA. Predictability provides landowners with peace of mind – no matter the legal status of a species under ESA – that they can keep their working lands working with NRCS conservation systems in place.
Work through WLFW centers on 10 states in the Midwest and southern Great Plains that are considered the core of the monarch's migration route and breeding habitat. Much of this work will focus on planting and enhancing stands of milkweed and other high-value nectar plants for monarchs. Assistance is available to producers in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas and Wisconsin.

Scott Markey | Fitness
Summer is finally upon us. With all of the summer events going on in our beautiful San Diego, such as the 4th of July celebrations that just passed, the upcoming Del Mar horse racing season, Comic Con, Over The Line (OTL), going to all our great beaches, being out on the ocean and the bays, and all of our many parks.
Let us not forget "Pride" and all that this amazing yearly event brings to us. But most of all, spending time with friends, family, and loved ones, is what the summer months are all about. The list of things to do and places to be here in San Diego are endless.
As fun as the summer is, it comes and goes pretty quickly.
I mention this because all of you die-hard gym-goers, like myself, and all of you who sacrificed all year long by adhering strictly to your diet and workout regimens, letting loose a little bit and having some fun is what summer is all about.
If you are like me, you know that skipping or missing scheduled workouts is something we do not want to do. Try not to let this bother you so much. With all the tempting food, parties, and get-togethers the summer brings, it is hard to stay on track as much as you did in the winter months.
So let's look at some ways to stay in shape, and look and feel the best you can all summer long.
First let's try to get your workouts done in the morning, this way you won't feel guilty. You can also hit the gym at night, leaving your days wide open. The positive side of the summer months is that you can get your workouts done outside, you just have to be a little creative.
You may be spending most of your time outdoors or at the beaches or parks but have no weights lying around. No problem. Squats, push-ups, planks, and core exercises only need your body weight. For some of you stronger guys and girls who might need a little extra resistance, I'm sure you can find a friend or use your partner to add the extra weight needed: on your shoulders for squats, or on your back for push ups, etc. You get the idea.
Being outdoors also feels good and you can go for walks or hit some sprints for cardio sessions. You don't need a gym for this and beach sprints are amazing! You can regulate the difficulty by what part of the beach you sprint or run on; the softer sand for a harder workout, or the harder, flatter sand for an easier workout.
Just remember, especially if making it to the gym is not an option, plan ahead and think outside the box when it comes to your workouts. I myself can get a good workout in anywhere! Like I said, it's just a matter of being creative, and using what you have around you.
Now let's talk briefly about food. This can be somewhat of a challenge, as when you're going to barbecues and parties, the food being offered might not be in your dietary program. No problem again! Just plan ahead. Make your meals beforehand, even the night before. Pack as much as you can — both meals and snacks — and bring a cooler, too. This way, you can leave it in your car, or bring it along. By doing this you will be well prepared for anything that might come up. This way you will have your own food, should you be somewhere that the food being so graciously offered, is not on your specific menu. Let's say you are invited to a party. This works out especially well as you can prepare and bring a "healthy" dish of your liking to satisfy your nutritional needs. This way no matter what, you know there will be something there to eat that is good for you.
Most important is to stay hydrated! That means water. Try to stay away from sugary drinks as much as you can. Everyone likes an energy drink here and there, I know. Just try to limit them.
What if you are invited to a party or function where alcohol will be present? Sugary, or mixed drinks should be out, or at least limited. Watch the beers as well. They add up, and will go right to your stomach. You'd be surprised at the vast number of cocktails available on the healthier side.
Let's face it, it's summer. It's time to have some fun. You'll be back to your stringent workout and dietary regimen in no time at all, so in the meantime, be committed and just do the best you can.
If any of my readers are having trouble coming up with a workout or a dietary plan, feel free to email me and I will try to help you as best as I can. So here's to a safe, happy and healthy summer!

Hey guys!
I am not really new to craftster but I didnt know where to put this. I want to go up to new york, (I live outside of philly, in a town called west chester) for the Renegade Craft Fair. I have never been and I wanted to know if it is any good... I am 17 so it is not very easy for me to get up there and no one around here likes this stuff enough to go with me. I guess I am asking:
1) is anyone else going? I dont want to be alone
2) If you have been, is it worth while
3) where do i stay in the brooklyn and not get shot
4) if anyone is willing to meet up I would be really excited... i understand though its an online thing is its a little sketchy...

Georgette Hagedoorn
Life Path Number 1
Georgette Hagedoorn was a female celebrity.
She was born on Monday April 4th 1910, in Haarlem, Netherlands,.
Georgette Hagedoorn was born with extra-ordinary drive and determination. She is a born leader. Georgette insists on her right to make up her own mind; she demands freedom of thought and action, and does not let anything or anyone stand in her way once she is committed to her goal.
Hagedoorn assumes the responsibility to be the protector and provider for those she loves. She demands respect and attention and becomes irritated and even domineering when important things do not go her way.
Georgette Hagedoorn needs to feel in command of important undertakings, and resists supportive roles. She seeks the forefront and the limelight.
Georgette is exceptionally creative and original and possesses a touch of the unusual. Her approach to problems is unique and she has the courage to wander from the beaten path. Georgette Hagedoorn can be impatient with her shortcomings and those of others.
She is very concerned with her status and fosters the appearance of success and self-satisfaction. The need to appear well off propels Georgette to strive for growth, success and the finer things of life.
Georgette Hagedoorn should watch out for selfishness, conceit and the over-concern with appearance. She must guard against overzealous behavior, anger and aggressiveness. If these qualities are not brought under control Georgette could become excessively domineering, vindictive and even violent. She performs best when she left to her own devices. Ideally Hagedoorn should own her own business and be her own boss. Georgette Hagedoorn should hold fast to her life's dream and work with the determination she possesses to realize it. Georgette can become overly stressed by her driven nature. She needs to be careful about the food she eats and maintain an exercise program she enjoys. Competition sports are often a healthy outlet for a person with Hagedoorn's drive, particularly sports involving running and swimming. Georgette Hagedoorn must not let pride and overconfidence be her masters. She has to remember that her talents and abilities are a gift from a higher source, which should promote gratitude and humility, rather than pride and conceit.
More often than not a person with a 1 Life Path will achieve much in life as long as the drive, creativity, originality and pioneering spirit are fully employed!
You and Georgette
About Georgette's Life Path number
If ever there was a single moment of total transformation, it was actually the moment of Georgette Hagedoorn's birth. In that instant, Georgette stepped through a door in time into a new reality - the reality of human life. The most critical number in Hagedoorn's numerology chart is based on the date of her birth - the moment when the curtain went up in Georgette Hagedoorn's life.

Civil Society Building
Starts on: 1 st & 15 th of every month | Duration: 6 Months | Registration open
Recent years have witnessed dramatic changes in the social, political and economic arrangements throughout the world. It is increasingly being recognised that the state as an intervener in society, to bring about growth and development, has its limitations. Similarly, the role of private sector as a way of organising society and economy is restricted. The collective power of Civil Society (CS) in building social, economic and political agendas – both locally and globally, is slowly gaining strength. Collaboration between state, private sector and civil society thus is increasingly being viewed as a viable approach for solving complex social and economic problems.
Strengthening civil society as a sector is essential for democracy and for ensuring human development, well-being and equality. Members of a strong civil society will exhibit commitment to freedom and equality, to democracy, participation and mutual recognition of rights, vis a vis state, market and internal functioning.
This course is a response to the above needs and covers a range of conceptual and practical issues faced by civil society in their pursuit of social change.Its several courses of action discusses several courses of action to be taken to bring about social change include networking and partnering with a range of actors and stakeholders including the state and the corporate sector.
- This innovative course is one of its kinds, at the national, regional and international level, offered in a distance education mode.
- It will consider a range of conceptual and practical issues faced by civil society in their pursuit of social change. It includes critical analysis of different debates and perspectives on the theme.
- It draws together theory and practice on civil society, through field case studies and practical illustrations.
- It has leading national and international academics and practitioners as part of guest faculty and its advisory committee.
- The course material is designed and developed, to meet the special requirements of a distance mode of education. It includes inbuilt exercises and in-text questions aimed at stimulating critical thinking and analysis.
- Moodle the preferred web-based platform, used by educational institutions across the world, is used to maximize interaction between the instructors and the learners. Lively discussions take place in an asynchronous mode, enabling learners from across the globe to participate and share their comments, queries, suggestions, views and experiences in their virtual classroom.
- Learners can also access the instructor through the Moodle, via emails, Skype and even over the telephone.
The course is intended for resource providers, policy makers, practitioners and researchers from South Asia, who are working or interested in working for strengthening civil society organizations. These include staff of donor agencies (multilateral, bi-lateral, state or non-state actors), government officials, civil society organisations, social activists, university students and researchers.
It will provide in-service career opportunity for practitioners. The participants can be mid-career professionals or new entrants, with limited practical experience of working for or with civil society organizations.
On completion of the course, the learners would:
- Acquire basic understanding on the concept of civil society, with particular reference to developing countries
- Be familiar with examples of civil society's contribution to development and strengthening democracy
- Build understanding on strategies for strengthening civil society, at the sectoral and organizational level Course Developers
To strengthen the understanding of the learner on the concept of civil society; critically review existing on strategies for strengthening civil society, in its pursuit of addressing issues of poverty, democratisation and sustainable human development.
- 6 units of study
- Four evaluative exercises – Reflection note, quizzes and project based assignment.

Stovax Thermolac Spray Paint
This 400ml aerosol Stovax Thermolac Spray Paint is a high temperature paint for stoves or fireplaces offering a Matt Black finish. One tin is normally enough to fully re-spray a 5-6kW stove, larger stoves will require two tins.
Paint fades over time, the paint of your stove will bake into the body more and more and will fade in time. We would suggest painting or touching up your stove using Stovax thermolac every 3-5years depending upon usage. When you re-spray your stove make sure it is in a well ventilated room (outside is preferable). You will notice a dramatic difference straight away.
– Ultra High Temperature Matt Black Paint for Stoves, Cast Iron Grates & Fireplaces or BBQs.
– Heat Stable to 1470 degrees F, 800 degrees C.
– Due to it being an aerosol the finish is excellent, very even. Ideally use outside and mask areas not requiring painting.
– 400ml can with full instructions written on the side.

Chapter Titles in Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese
Chapter 9: The Half-Blood Prince
(For the romanisation of Chinese and Japanese, see Transliteration. To understand the writing systems of CJV, see Writing Systems. For word order notes, see Word Order)
Where a Vietnamese word has been borrowed from Chinese, the original Chinese character is shown in parentheses.
|Chinese (Mainland)
Hùnxuè wángzi
hùnxuè = 'mixed blood, half blood'.
王子 wángzi = 'prince'.
|The half-blood prince
|Chinese (Taiwan)
Hùnxuè wángzi
|混血 hùnxuè = 'mixed blood, half blood'.
王子 wángzi = 'prince'.
|The half-blood prince
Nazo no purinsu
|謎 nazo = 'riddle, puzzle'.
の no = connecting particle
プリンス purinsu = 'prince' (from English).
|The enigmatic prince
|Hoàng Tử Lai
|hoàng tử (皇子) = 'prince'.
lai = 'mixed blood, half breed'.
|The half-blood prince
Apart from the Japanese, a straightforward translation.
The Japanese translator has obviously struggled with the term 'half-blood'. In the book title and the chapter title she uses 謎のプリンス Nazo no purinsu 'the enigmatic prince' in preference to any reference to 'half-blood'. This is probably because of the difficulty of finding a suitable word for 'half-blood' in the existing vocabulary. Words like 混血 konketsu 'mixed blood' carry unfavourable overtones in Japanese, while the modern word ハーフ hāfu, taken from English, would look odd both for its specific associations with racial mixed blood (often Japanese and non-Japanese mixtures) and its quite contemporary connotations.
However, in the concluding words of the chapter itself, where Harry finds the words 'Half-blood prince' written in his potions textbook, the translator uses 半純血のプリンス han-junketsu no purinsu 'half pure-blood prince'.
For the pun on 'prince', see the title, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
(A summary of this chapter can be found at Harry Potter Facts. Detailed notes on the chapter can be found at Harry Potter Lexicon)

A few months after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012, a group of government and health care leaders met in Hartford, Connecticut, to discuss ways to save more lives in tragedies like Sandy Hook, in which 20 children and six adults died. The result was what came to be known as the Hartford Consensus — a series of recommendations designed to prevent deaths from uncontrolled bleeding after intended mass casualty attacks.
Before Hartford, the main priority in mass shootings was to stop the killing. Rescue came later — sometimes too late for the wounded, who bled to death before medical workers were allowed to enter the scene. Some victims of the Columbine High School shootings waited hours for medical care, finally dying while the building was still in lockdown.
The new paradigm was to establish safe corridors so firefighters and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) could rapidly enter, assess, stabilize and evacuate people with survivable injuries, even if the scene wasn't completely secure. The Hartford Consensus also sparked a nationwide effort to provide first responders — police, fire and EMS — with hemorrhage control kits containing tourniquets and hemostatic gauze and the training to use them.
The third Hartford Consensus meeting took place in April 2015. This meeting focused on strategies for preparing the public to serve as immediate responders after mass casualty events.
"The idea is that people already at the scene can make the biggest difference in saving lives by performing critical hemorrhage control before first responders arrive," explains David S. Morris, M.D., a trauma surgeon at Mayo Clinic's campus in Rochester, Minnesota. He points out that in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings, civilian bystanders worked alongside first responders to triage the critically injured and facilitate their transport to area hospitals. Every one of those patients survived.
Hartford Consensus III calls for a similarly seamless response after other mass casualty attacks. In a perfect scenario, immediate responders, first responders and trauma professionals would function as an integrated team using the THREAT system, which includes:
Hartford Consensus III also recommends that immediate responders have the training needed to stop life-threatening bleeding and access to hemorrhage control kits containing tourniquets and hemostatic gauze. Ideally, the kits would be located in malls, airports, schools and sports centers — the same public spaces where automated external defibrillators are found now.
Stop the Bleed is a nationwide campaign to provide civilians with the tools and knowledge to save lives.
In October 2015, the White House officially launched Stop the Bleed — a nationwide campaign to provide civilians with the tools and knowledge to save lives, based on Hartford Consensus III recommendations. The goal of the initiative is "to build national resilience by empowering the general public to be aware of the simple steps that can be taken to stop or slow life-threatening bleeding."
"Stop the Bleed elevates hemorrhage control to the level of public health, and it's now seen in the same light as CPR," Dr. Morris says. "We have done a very good job of familiarizing the public with CPR and basic life support; we think we can use that same model by partnering with the American Heart Association, which already has the infrastructure in place. There are CPR classes in every community, and it would be easy enough for the CPR instructor to spend 20 minutes on hemorrhage control."
He says the Southern Minnesota Regional Trauma Advisory Committee (SMRTAC) has already provided medical preparedness classes for first responders and will be offering the same free course to educators as well as to mall and venue security officers.
"SMRTAC wants to offer training in as many places as possible, and the hope is it will take off. As a parent, I would be reassured knowing that my children's teachers know how to control bleeding and have access to tourniquets in their school," Dr. Morris says.
SMRTAC developed its medical preparedness course in 2013 in response to requests from police and fire officials. Around the same time, the American College of Surgeons partnered with the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians to develop a similar training course aimed at turning lay people into immediate responders. The Bleeding Control for the Injured (B-Con) course teaches military bleeding control techniques that have been shown to dramatically increase casualty survival.
"B-Con doesn't require a lot of resources. One instructor can teach it in two or three hours," Dr. Morris explains. "It has the added advantage of having dedicated time when students can practice these techniques and become familiar with them."
He points out that even though the emphasis of the training courses is on preparing for a mass casualty event, it's unlikely most people will be involved in one.
"Most of us probably won't need to respond to a mass shooting, but we might be the first on the scene of a car crash or workplace or farm accident. And there may be one person there who needs hemorrhage control," he says.

King David Dance Company is the solution for parents seeking a way to have their children participate in the performing arts (dance, music etc.) in an environment that is inclusive, joyful, rigorous, and safe.
Though grounded in excellent formal technique, the studio chooses not to drive students into annual competitions, where the pressure to out-do peers leads many to place the burden of ever more risque routines on the backs of children (ie, the 5 year olds who became an internet sensation gyrating in skimpy costumes to Beyonce's What a Girl Wants.) At King David, though contemporary and stylish, there is nothing about the musical choices or costumes that would make a parent blush.
Competitive pressure also pushes many studios to "performance perfection" - the scenario in which only the most talented and best-looking children shine. At King David, every child is part of the group, and as a result, onstage one will see children of every size, shape, and ability level, all given the opportunity to be their own best. The daily devotionals, which are part of every class, help children support one another, and to respect the challenges that make each child's path unique.
In an era when relations among groups in America is strained at best, another positive of King David is genuine and natural inclusiveness. The churches in Charlotte, NC, where the studio is located, are often called the most segregated locations in the city. Not so at King David. Here, black and white, young and old, male and female, prosperous and struggling - all interact on a foundation of shared faith. Even the musical choices for the annual concert reflect a broad range of ethnic influences.
King David models the highest possible standards. Parents are treated with professionalism. Studios and facilities are spacious and spotless. The annual concert is a large production, yet managed to the last detail to respect parents' time, needs, and budget.
Review from Guidestar
Value is a word I would use to describe Sal and Barbara Messina. With them, you absolutely get the best. They came into our lives as dance instructors to our daughter, Jennifer, when she was in elementary school. They helped develop her as a dancer, a performer, and more importantly, as a young christian woman. In their classroom, Jennifer was not only taught the basics of dance, she was taught to use those creative steps to love and worship the Lord. Jennifer performed with the King David Dance Company all through her high school years. There are not enough words to tell you what a difference this ministry and dance company made in her life. Again, I would just have to use the word value. With the King David Dance Company, you get God's best.
Under Sal & Barbara's christian guidance, Jennifer developed her own self-confidence. Their relationship has always been based on honesty, trust, love and a sincere desire to use the talents the Lord has given them. Jennifer is now a young married woman and lives in Los Angeles, California. They continue their mentoring relationship through e-mails, phone calls, and home visits. It is hard to believe that they have been in our lives for almost twenty-five years. Wow!
Thank you, Lord, for Sal and Barbara Messina and King David Dance Company. Thank you for always sending us your best.

King David Dance Company has been part of our family for 4 years and has been just the kind of dance company I want for my teen-daughters. Everything about this studio has not only been handled professionally, but with integrity and grace. The instructors give their best to our kids - in a Christian environment that doesn't compromise values or standards. The annual recitals are first rate and always sends chills down my spine that we are actually a part of this organization and that my kids are a 'part of the show'. It is an honor to share this review with GuideStar - King David Dance Company is the best!
Review from Guidestar
KDCC dance company helped me to give of my time to God. These two people (Sal and Barb) are soooo dedicated to helping our youth to grow and in the things of God through the Performing Arts. They have shown young people how to worship God in the Dance, the Song, the Sign Language, and the Acting; because of this many, many lives have been changed. My life certainly has. If you have a child who has any one of these gifts please give them the opportunity to experience a class at KDCC. They will never be the same again.
Review from Guidestar
The King David Dance Company pursues excellence in Christian ministry through the performing arts. I can personally attest to the dedication of Barbara, Sal, and their support staff. The ministry has always been aimed at bringing people to Christ via the arts, and they do a phenomenal job. The ministry also extends beyond the arts, as the organization strives to simply serve people, in many different capacities. Helping the King David Dance Company with performances was an honor.

He also announced the title of his collab with Jigga and Future: "I Got the Keys."
As the rap world was still processing the surprise Cruel Winter super-collab from Kanye West, six of the game's top emcees, and Desiigner, DJ Khaled went live on Beats 1 to remind fans that summer's here and that the season is his for the taking. With the help of Zane Lowe, Khaled just shared the first single off his upcoming album, Major Key. It's titled "F*ck Me For Free," or "for radio purposes, "For Free." The song is a loose, breezy party anthem from Drake and is produced by the OVO team of Nineteen85 and Jordan Ullman. Listen here.
The song's title is inspired by Kendrick Lamar, as early on, Drake sings, "And like your boy from Compton said, you know this dick ain't free," referencing lyrics from an early interlude on To Pimp a Butterfly. After Lowe rinsed "For Free" multiple times across the worldwide web-waves, he had Khaled give him all the details on Major Key.
Predictably, the album will include an amazing group of guest features. For now, (aside from Drake) those include: Jay Z, Future, Kanye West, Big Sean, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, and perhaps, young Bryson Tiller. Khaled stated that the Major Key tracklist will include no more than 12 songs.
It was already known that Khaled was planning to drop a track with Future and Jay Z, one that Future has promised will "fuck da summer up." On Beats 1, Khaled revealed that the Jigga/Hendrix collab is called "I Got the Keys." A fitting title for all three collaborators. Khaled told Lowe that "I Got the Keys" is an "amazing song" that showcases Hov rapping like it's '96.
The We the Best boss also revealed that he and Drake are currently discussing potential "video treatments" for their new anthem, and most importantly, he announced his plans to live stream the entire birth of his first child via Snapchat.

A red-hued crowd showed love to the American Heart Association at a Valentine's Day weekend ball.
THE PARTY More than 600 patrons attended the American Heart Association's annual Heart Ball, this year chaired by Texas Medical Center President and CEO Robert Robbins. The magical French-inspired soiree raised funds to support the organization's mission of fighting heart disease and stroke, and the night honored Debbie and Jack Moore, along with the Memorial Hermann Health System. Mayor Sylvester Turner was in the crowd, as were Cathy and Joe Cleary, who will serve as next year's chairs. THE SCENE Event design firm Darryl & Co. transformed the Hilton Americas ballroom into an enchanted secret garden draped in ivy trimmings and dotted with extravagant floral centerpieces. And thanks to J & D Entertainment, black-tie attendees had the chance to interact with vibrantly dressed aerialists and performers disguised as living trees. THE HIGHLIGHTS The auction featured tickets to Aspen's Food and Wine Classic and an exclusive MTV Movie Awards experience. Jeweler Marc Pharo won a new BMW 530i in the night's raffle, and AmRisc, a commercial property underwriting agency, announced a surprise $150,000 donation. In total, more than $2.2 million was raised. Now that's a lot of love! -Lawrence knox

SOYO Announces 17 -inch and 19 -inch DVI Dymond Series LCD Monitors
SOYO`s new Dymond series 17 and 19-inch LCD flat-panel monitors are an ideal upgrade for older and bulkier CRT monitors. The 19-inch model supports DVI, which allows users to watch broadcast TV stations.

SOYO Group Launches Dymond LCD Monitors
ONTARIO, CA (May 2005) - - SOYO® Group, Inc., (OTCBB: SOYO) a leading provider of computer motherboards, computer peripheral devices, and consumer electronics, today announced its Dymond LCD Monitor series, a family of flat -panel 17 - and 19 -inch LCD monitors, which incorporate TFT (Thin Film Transistor) display technology to deliver brilliant colors, fast display times and TV watching capabilities for consumers, corporate users and gamers.
The SOYO Dymond Series LCD monitors mark the company`s first venture into display technology, which compliment a long and successful history as a developer of motherboards and graphics -related peripherals. `According to DisplaySearch, LCD monitors generated $8.2 billion in revenue in the fourth quarter of 2004, and accounted for 56.2% of the total shipped worldwide in the quarter, outselling CRT models for the first time,`` said Mr. Ming Chok, president and CEO of SOYO Group, Inc. ``This trend is expected to continue to accelerate. Taiwan`s Market Intelligence Center predicts that global LCD monitor shipments will double by 2008, to 135 million.``
Both the Dymond 17 - and 19 -inch models are available in stylish black and silver enclosures and feature 1280 x 1024 native resolution, 16.8 million colors and 250 nit of brightness and 450/500:1 contrast ratios for detailed images. Both models also deliver fast response time of 16ms, eliminating trails for fast -moving images for game playing, as well as providing an ideal solution for graphics intensive applications such as preparing presentations, watching movies, or surfing the Internet.
SOYO`s Dymond series monitors are also the perfect upgrade from older and bulkier CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) monitors. The picture doesn`t flicker on LCD monitors because every individual point of the image is depicted through its own pixel element. The pixels on the Dymond series are rear -illuminated, with each pixel further divided into red, blue and green sub pixels. An individual transistor for every single sub pixel determines how much light is allowed through. The advantage over CRT displays is higher brightness, sharper contrast and more vivid colors for hours of comfortable viewing.
Both models feature built -in stereo speakers and a front panel with auto adjustment, menu and volume controls.
The Dymond 19 -inch models support TV input and include a DVI cable, which allows users to watch broadcast TV stations on the monitor. All models include a VGA signal cable, AC power cord, audio cable and user manual, and come with a two -year limited warranty.
The Dymond 17 -inch monitors have an MSRP of $269.99, and list price for the 19 -inch models is $399.99. Both models will ship to SOYO authorized dealers and distributors in mid -May.

(JNS.org) French politician Marine Le Pen, leader of the far-right National Front party, sparked controversy this weekend with a call to ban traditional Jewish head coverings known as kippot.
Le Pen, known for her anti-immigrant and nationalist positions, has long called on banning Islamic head coverings such as the niqab and burka, and has now added kippot to the fray.
"Obviously, if the veil is banned, the kippa [should be] banned in public as well," the French daily Le Monde quoted Le Pen in an interview published Sept. 21.
French President Francois Hollande denounced Le Pen's call for a ban on religious head coverings, saying, "Everything that tears people apart ... divides them, is inappropriate."
The president of the Conference of European Rabbis, Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt, said Le Pen has, "once again, exposed herself as being unworthy of the mainstream French political space," according to the Jerusalem Post.
Rabbi Julie Schonfeld, executive vice president of the Conservative movement's Rabbinical Assembly, said in a statement that Le Pen's comments "encourage the growth of bigotry in a nation to whom the world looks for democratic and tolerant leadership."
France's National Front party was founded in the 1970s by Jean-Marie Le Pen. Marine, who succeeded her father, placed third in last spring's presidential election.
