One of the nicest beaches on the east coast of Florida. A private and secluded gated neighborhood with its own beach access. 2 Swimming pools, tennis and basket ball courts. Restaurants, shopping and golf nearby. The closest beach from the Orlando attractions.
This is the second time we have spent a month in Anne-Dominque and Erik's lovely condo. We love the location, amenities, and decor. I highly recommend it and am sure we will return again. (See my previous review for more details on this delightful property.)
Thank you to Dominique and Erik for sharing their home with us. We had the opportunity to spend two months in this perfect home that is in the perfect location.
The best kept secret in Cape Canaveral! A short work down a path and it opens up to a fantastic beach. This home is located close to not only the beach, but also restaurants, shopping, and Kennedy Space Center. You can walk out to the beach and watch the launches from the space center. This area is great for biking. Bike paths, and the beach allow for miles of safe biking!
The condo is very clean, and comfortable. Dominique greeted us the first day we arrived. She made sure everything was perfect. Dominique and Erik are so easy to work with and very accomodating. The layout of the condo made it easy to have guests.
From the moment I arrived it felt like home and I was visiting family. Anne-Dominique was a gracious hostess and was so great with me and my family. The place is fantastic, it is in person as it looks like online; a very quaint, cute, beach house that has been beautifully remodeled. I came down and stayed as I worked for 4 months enjoying the beach life. I lived in it more so than any typical vacation home. My kids now refer to it as our Florida home and can't wait to come back. The place was very clean and well maintained but "lived in" which only added to its charm. The grounds were nice and the pool was fantastic and the neighbors were great. I would highly recommend "our Florida Home" to anyone wanting a peaceful jungle cottage. Spending as much time as I did there I would also say it was located in the perfect spot on the north end of Cape Canaveral. The best part of the entire beach was located right out our pathway. It felt like our own private beach area.
I am looking forward to our next trip down to our Florida home and there is no where else we would rather stay. Thank you Erik and Anne-Dominique.
We have rented several times in the winter months at the Ocean Woods complex. By far this condo was the cleanest ,nicely decorated and comfortable condo that we have rented. The owners , Eric and Anne-Dominque were most helpful and friendly. Their primary concern was that we were pleased with the condo and if there was anything that was needed to make our stay more enjoyable and comfortable. This is a beautiful condo and the owners are wonderful,kind individuals.
Thank you for assisting in making our "snowbird experience" so memorable. Thank you for your kindness. We are certainly hoping to return.
Don and Kathy Finfrock

Ce fut un immense plaisir que nous espérons pouvoir renouveler bientôt.

Waterboarding Demo
Also check out this commentary on why Obama doesn't want to pursue torture investigations. But I agree with Benen, there is that damn "rule of law" thing going on.
Torture(gate) Another Watergate?
In the early Fall of 1972 I was enroute to my Navy duty station at the National Naval Medical Research Institute, Bethesda, MD. My cousin, who lived in DC at the time, kindly offered to pick me up at National Airport and bring me to Bethesda. He asked me "What do you thing about the Watergate scandal"? I answered...."huh"? In any event, the break-in at the Watergate complex became a history changing event. Many, many people were convicted of obstructing justice, illegal campaign activites, contempt of Congress and lying under oath. It wasn't until almost two years later that Dick Nixon was forced to resign by a Congress under Republican control.
The current debates over torture are now giving me the same feelings that were prevalent in the Fall of 1972. What was the purpose of torture? Was it to get information to support the invasion of Iraq? Were any laws broken in authorizing torture? Laws almost certainly were broken or the argument that it "wasn't torture" wouldn't be so prevalent. Who is lying and who is telling the truth? Did Democratic leaders know about the torture? Clinton was impeached for lying. Nixon resigned before he could be impeached for lying. Did G.W. Bush and Dick Cheney do anything less than Clinton or Nixon? We don't know because no one seems to want to find out.
I think things are coming to a head. I think there will be some sort of investigation and eventually someone is going to spill some startling information just as Alexander Butterfield reluctantly admitted that everything said in the Nixon Oval office was recorded (John Dean had already admitted that he believed there was a taping system in the Oval office).
Personally, I believe waterboarding is torture and is illegal. If this turns out to be the case, then the law was broken and those responsible need to be prosecuted.

This motel has a quiet, clean, efficient atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and helpful for any needs for restaurant suggestions, sight-seeing directions, and keeping everything fresh and available during the breakfast time. It was conveniently located about 20 minutes from the center of town (The Alamo, Hemisphere Park, River Walk, zoo) and Sea World. Within a 5 mile stretch of I-10 was a great selection of eating establishments for a variety of menus and price ranges. We felt safe and well cared for. We recommend this motel for anyone traveling through or visiting this area.

My comments or suggestions for wording is in blue. Please chime in with your thoughts on the piece in general and specifically on how the conversation flows for you.
Title: THE LULLABY
Genre: YA contemporary fantasy
"Cassie, will you play a game with us?" Mitch peered at her hopefully.
She straightened up from tying her laces. "You can't wait until Sam gets home?"
A mischievous look came over his face (this was great because it led me to read the following with a certain tone of voice in my head). "She's with Joseph. She's going to be gone for hours."
Cassie laughed. "I'm sure you're right. I already had a run today anyway. What are we going to play?"
"Truth or dare," he plopped down next to Tilo. Cassie sat on the floor, not even attempting to sit on the mattress.
She pressed her feet together, holding them close with her hands. "So who goes first?"
"You of course," Mitch bounced.
"Okay. Tilo, ask me truth or dare," Cassie looked up at the big boy.
"I will ask, but I do not understand the game. (I'm guessing Tilo speaks more formally and that's why you didn't use I'll and don't?) " For being so young, his voice sure rumbled.
"You didn't explain the game to him, Mitch?"
He squirmed under her disapproving look. "No. Didn't know I needed to."
"Then we'll let Tilo go first to demonstrate."
Mitch popped right back up. "Can I ask?"
"No, I'm going to so I can explain."
"I could explain just as well," he mumbled.
"What was that?" She suppressed a smile.
"I said, that's good. You explain things good."
"Right. Now, Tilo, I'm going to ask you truth or dare. When I do, you pick either truth or dare."
"What is a dare?" He asked.
"A dare is like," she searched for the right explanation. "If I dare you to lick the floor, you have to lick the floor."
"A command," he nodded.
"Sort of. Now—"
"Truth," he cut her off.
"A question then," she took in a breath and held it, thinking. "Is the story you told us true?"
"What story?" He tugged at his pant leg.
"The one about the Giants," she watched him closely, trying not to look too eager for the answer.
"Yes, it is true. What else would it be?" A troubled expression crossed his face.
She stopped herself from pointing out the obvious. "Are you sure you didn't just make it up?"
"Make it up? Is that like pretending? Pretending is when I act like I have friends when I play in the forest. It makes my mother sad," his shoulders slouched.
Cassie opened her mouth, but Mitch started talking first. "You only get one question, Cassie. Now it's my turn. Tilo, ask me."
Tilo's lips parted and Mitch shouted, "Dare."
Cassie leaned back against the floor and wondered what she was going to do with the boy until she drifted off to sleep. (So she fell asleep while they played?)
General Comments:
I don't really have a lot to say. This conversation flows naturally and I loved that you didn't put a tag on each and every comment. You gave good clues so that I always knew who was talking so you didn't need a tag for each.

hard to tell how old they are supposed to be. Cassie seems like a teenage older sister, but she fell asleep like a toddler, and they're playing truth or dare. i hear in tilo's voice that he is from somewhere else (fantasy world, right?)
fun scene!

I read this three times. Once to get a hang of it. The second time to crit. And the third time for enjoyment!
Except for the first tag "Mitch peered at her hopefully" I enjoyed the dialogue. Very normal and full of voice.
The first tag might be necessary. It depends on what came before.

Trillion-Sensor Vision, Results Shared
3 comments
SAN DIEGO, Calif. — Saving the planet one sensor at a time, the backers of the Trillion Sensor Summit here shared their visions and some research working toward a fully instrumented world.
"I believe in a world with abundance -- a world without hunger, with medical care for all, with clean energy for all, no pollution," said Janusz Bryzek, chairmen and CEO of the event. "One of the components creating this world is a sensor at the bottom of the pyramid for mobile health, the Internet of Things, and wearable applications. In order to get there, we need to completely transform the economy."
Abundance will require another 45 trillion sensors, many of which haven't been developed, Bryzek said. Wearable medical sensors pose enormous potential, speakers said.
Researchers at the University of California San Diego are among those driving the trend. "Elimination of poor countries by 2035 galvanizes the student population," said Albert Pisano, dean of UCSD's Jacobs School of Engineering. If I'm pumping out almost 2,000 graduates a year, and they're pumped up about this, it doesn't take much to have an army dedicated to this."
Proof-of-concepts from UCSD's Center for Wearable Sensors included small, inexpensive sensors for a variety of medical uses. For example, the center has developed a proprietary board with glucose monitoring sensors that can be plugged into any smartphone, a retinal prosthesis with an implanted integrated circuit, and wireless power for data telemetry.
Joe Wang, distinguished professor in UCSD's Department of Nanoengineering and faculty director of its wearables center, showed off a variety of very small skin sensors. Screen printed tattoos with embedded sensors can monitor metabolism, electrolytes, and stress indicators, he said. The same sensors could be worn or placed on objects to measure environmental conditions such as pollution or mineral levels in water.
Real stats moving up and to the right fueled some of the enthusiasm. The mobile sensor market grew more than 200% between 2007 and 2013, and the mobile health market is expected to lower treatment costs by 35%.
"The biggest challenges are the amount of data, processing this [data], and supporting infrastructure," Bryzek said. Global health monitoring will require the cost of sensors to drop to less than 50 cents each.
Wang's prototypes may be on the right track, with price points of $1 for the tattoos and $23 for the glucose meters. However, price isn't the only or even the main factor. Bryzek said a "dramatic shift of skills" and "massive retraining" will be needed to create the technology for a trillion sensors.
Developing that many sensors "is not inevitable," according to Steve Whalley, chief strategy officer at the MEMS Industry Group. "If it wasn't for TSensors Summit, we'd be going on an evolutionary pace, and maybe we'd get there, but it wouldn't be at the pace we need for the growing population."

Weber 51mm
These Inglese EMPI carburetors are cast from Weber-type die-cast tooling and feature design improvements and tighter final tolerances over classic Weber IDA carburetors, making them viable options to the original. They are designed for a wide variety of Inglese and other intake manifolds and can be ordered individually or as part of an Inglese induction system for an easy "bolt-on and go" installation. Any engine that is compatible with the standard Weber IDA carburetors will accept the EMPI carbs and use all of the same mounting points and linkages. For anyone looking to increase the flow rate of their engine without a big price increase or simply to replace the carb on their current Weber-fed engine, these Inglese EMPI carburetors are a great way to go.

2013 NFL Playoffs: The Complete Guide to the Divisional RoundJanuary 7, 2013
2013 NFL Playoffs: The Complete Guide to the Divisional Round
We're one week into the 2013 NFL playoffs, the field of potential Super Bowl teams has been narrowed from 12 to eight, and this weekend the big boys will get down to business, as the top two seeds in each conference take the field in the postseason for the first time in 2013.
Here's an early breakdown of each of this week's matchups, from the whos and wheres to a key matchup in each game and this writer's picks for which teams will advance to the National Football League's equivalent of the "Final Four".
Baltimore Ravens at Denver Broncos
When: Saturday, January 12, 4:30 P.M. EST
Where: Sports Authority Field at Mile High, Denver, Colorado
What to Watch For: This game is a rematch of a Week 15 contest in Baltimore that the Broncos won handily, limiting the Ravens offense to 119 first-half yards in a 34-17 win.
If the Ravens are going to flip the script here then they're going to have to figure out a way to slow down Denver quarterback Peyton Manning, who was the AFC's top-ranked passer and has a pair of 1,000 yard receivers at his disposal in Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker.
The Pick: The Ravens were a .500 team away from home this year, with Joe Flacco throwing for over 250 yards only once in eight road games.
That's not going to be nearly enough against a Denver team that has won 11 straight.
Denver 27, Baltimore 14
Green Bay Packers at San Francisco 49ers
When: Saturday, January 12, 8:00 P.M. EST
Where: Candlestick Park, San Francisco, California
What to Watch For: Continuing with a rematch theme that is prevalent in the divisional round, this game pits two teams that locked horns all the way back in Week 1, with the 49ers riding a strong performance from their defense and 112 yards from running back Frank Gore to a 30-22 win.
However, there's been a major change in San Francisco. Second-year quarterback Colin Kaepernick is now the starter for the 49ers, and how the youngster performs in his first playoff start could well be the turning point of what should be a close game.
The Pick: Kaepernick's mobility adds a new dimension to the San Francisco offense, but he's never seen anything like the zone blitz defense that Dom Capers and the Packers will throw at him.
Look for Capers to disguise coverages and mix up blitz packages in an effort to confuse the youngster, and a late Kaepernick interception will open the door for Aaron Rodgers to guide the Packers to victory.
Green Bay 30, San Francisco 28
Seattle Seahawks at Atlanta Falcons
When: Sunday, January 13, 1:00 P.M. EST
Where: Georgia Dome, Atlanta Georgia
What to Watch For: The only matchup of this week's games that feature two teams who did not meet in the regular season, the Atlanta Falcons enter Sunday's matchup trying to erase memories of two years ago, when a 13-3 Atlanta team entered the playoffs as the NFC's top seed only to get spanked at home by the Green Bay Packers.
If the Falcons are to do so it will likely be on the shoulders of their dynamic pass-catching trio of Julio Jones, Roddy White and Tony Gonzalez, while the upstart Seahawks will attempt to keep the ball out of Atlanta's hands by pounding away on the ground with running back Marshawn Lynch.
The Pick: In Brandon Browner, Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas the Seahawks have two big physical cornerbacks and a speedy safety capable of matching up with Atlanta's receivers, while Lynch should find some room to rumble against the Falcons' 12th-ranked run defense.
The Falcons are stunned at home yet again.
Seattle 23, Atlanta 21
Houston Texans at New England Patriots
When: Sunday, January 13, 4:30 P.M. EST
Where: Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, Massachusetts
What to Watch For: The Houston Texans no doubt hope that this week's matchup is a far cry from the last time the two teams met, as the Patriots throttled the Texans 42-14 in Week 14 to start a skid that saw the Texans lose three of their last four regular season games.
For the Texans to have any shot in this game they're going to have to do a much better job defensively, as although Houston ranked seventh in the NFL in total defense in 2012, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady carved them up to the tune on nearly 300 passing yards and four touchdowns a month ago.
The Pick: The Texans advanced to the divisional round by virtue of a win over the Cincinnati Bengals last week, but a sloppy game in which the Texans found the end zone only once did little to inspire confidence that this matchup with the Patriots will be any different than the last time around.
The Patriots roll and set up yet another matchup between Tom Brady and Peyton Manning with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line.
New England 38, Houston 16

It's been 80 years' since Cotlands founder Matron Dorothy Reece took an abandoned baby into her home and poured her unconditional love into its care. She officially opened Cotlands in 1936, and by 1942 had cared for more than 600 little ones.
Matron Reece passed away in 1967, but her selfless devotion remains the inspiration for Cotlands.
There have been many moments which have made the life of our organisation special. Stand-out memories include times when our supporters came forward and provided the funding we needed to keep open our doors and expand key programmes.
The Sunday Times, Southern Courier, Radio 702 and 94.7 are just some of our media friends who have helped raise funds and drum up volunteers. South African actress Shashi Naidoo joined Cotlands as our brand ambassador in 2012, and athletes have taken up our banner, with 40 riders taking part in the Momentum 94.7 cycle challenge in 2013.
Throughout the years, we've never lost our ability to move with the times. In the 1990s, Cotlands started feeling the impact of HIV/AIDS and opened the Aids Hospice. We later joined forces with other parties to obtain a court ruling to compel government to provide treatment to pregnant women to reduce HIV/Aids being transmitted to the child. We also implemented antiretroviral treatment for children and launched HIV/Aids counselling.
By December 2012, we'd experienced such a drastic reduction in Aids-related deaths that our Aids Hospice was transformed into the Cotlands Child Care unit. This achievement is something to celebrate, as it impacted on many young lives.
We hope now to have the same influence on early childhood development. We opened our first toy library in Hlabisa in 2010, and provide children with an array of quality services including early learning playgroups, health and psychosocial services.
We believe Cotlands has played a pivotal role in South Africa. Thank you for helping us to remain relevant, and providing for little ones deprived of care.

The Macquarie Group is one of the leading providers of financial services, including banking, financial, advisory, investment, and funds management services. It has over 14,000 employees spread across the entire financial world and is obviously looking to hire the best of the best. This page walks you through the application process, helping you to produce the best application you possibly can.
This is the first stage of the recruitment process, and it is very important that you create a good impression from the start. You are given an opportunity to upload your CV as well as a cover letter for almost all the Macquarie graduate programs. This gives you an opportunity to show that you have a high motivation for the job you are applying for.
For most streams of entry, including the Macquarie graduate program, you can expect at least two interviews. These may or may not precede the Macquarie online tests, so don't be surprised either way.
There are two sections of the interview that can take place together but are commonly split into two separate 45-minute interviews. One of the Macquarie interviews is competency-based and the other is more skills-based.
When you come to prepare for the competency-based interview, you are assessed on the following key values of the company:
Furthermore, there are a number of different skills that you must demonstrate in the Macquarie interview:
Incorporating these skills into your answers is your way of ensuring you are doing the best job you possibly can. In order to do so, you should prepare sample answers for the most probable questions. You can do this with our interview preparation package.
Here are some sample Macquarie interview questions that are popular with the company:
You may also be asked some brain teasers that involve simple mathematical logic as part of this interview. These interviews are very important to your application process, so ensuring that you are fully prepared for every eventuality is highly central to your progress.
There are four different aptitude tests that you must go through if you are applying for the Macquarie graduate program. All of these tests are supplied by CEB SHL, one of the biggest psychometric testing companies in the world. Depending on your application, you may be asked to take these tests on site at Macquarie or online.
On this Macquarie assessment test, you are presented with numerical data in the form of tables, graphs, and ratios. After careful analysis of the data, you need to answer the multiple-choice questions. There are five different options, and you must choose the correct one. Although there is no negative marking, the more questions you manage to answer in the 20-minute time frame, the better chance you have of progressing. Learning how to answer questions under severe time pressure is a skill that can be gained through practice and understanding of the test makeup. Practise CEB SHL–style numerical tests here.
This Macquarie aptitude test presents you with a paragraph of information that contains a variety of different interrelated facts. You have to answer multiple-choice questions relating to this passage. Although the questions themselves may not be terribly difficult, one of the key skills you must possess is the ability to analyse information. Hence this test has a lot of significance. Find out how we can help you with an SHL–Style verbal practice pack.
This Macquarie abstract reasoning test measures your ability to answer logical problems that are in the form of different shapes and matrices. Often known as the purest form of aptitude test, you are presented with a series of shapes that have a particular set of rules governing them. Using these rules, you must correctly determine the following shape in the pattern. Learn how to do this with our SHL–Style logical reasoning pack.
On the Macquarie personality test, you are presented with numerous statements that you must rate in order of your preference.
For example: "Are you the type of person who:"
You have to rate two of these, one as most like you and the other as least like you.
It was once thought that personality tests cannot be prepared for, but research has proven without a doubt that studying is the best way to prepare for this test. In fact, doing so shows you how to incorporate the key competencies of the company into your responses. This test is untimed, so you have the chance to really think about your answers when taking the Macquarie personality test. Learn how we can help you here.
You must complete many different Macquarie assessment tests during the application process in order to get that job offer. JobTestPrep offers a complete range of preparation materials, including practise tests, to ensure your success. Prepare today.

The animated film above follows the story of 'Ellie', a child living with a life shortening condition, and shows the pressure this can place on the family. The animation highlights how Acorns can help to reduce this stress and pressure and promote resilience in the family. The film was developed to help us get across to commisioners and other health and social care professionals how our care provision can in turn reduce demand on other services and help to meet future health and social care provision challenges.
We provide specialist, quality and holistic care that can help meet future health and social care provision challenges by promoting wellbeing and independence.
We have a comprehensive understanding of the needs of the children and families we support and ensure that our services are integrated into key health and social care work. As a result, we are able to break down barriers of how that care is provided and lessen duplication in provision.
Acorns has responded to the current financial challenges experienced across health and social care. We work with statutory bodies to provide clinically effective, efficient and high quality care that is flexibly delivered depending on assessed needs.
A specialist, trusted and quality service provider to the NHS and local authorities since 1988, driven by charitable aims.
Care is tailored to assessed needs as agreed with the whole family and is provided when and where it is needed, promoting wellbeing and independence.

Comprehensive services are tailored to assessed needs.
Our service provision focuses on the entire family in order to promote well-being and build resilience.
Assessments and care plans are agreed with family and young people and reviewed with them regularly.
Care is flexible to demand and can be provided within the hospice, the family home or the community. This includes End of Life care, symptom management and short breaks.
Short breaks help to relieve stress and pressure and allow families to continue to care for their children and to do so more effectively.
By partnering with Acorns, barriers to consistent high quality care provision are removed.
Our charitable status means 2/3 of our funding comes from the public, providing value for money
Our costs have been benchmarked and compare favourably to other service providers.
Over 400 volunteers underpin every aspect of what we do.
'Key working' with other professionals and organisations reduces demand on other health and social care services.

Wireless - correct key in rc.wireless.conf + have to load it with iwconifig
I have Slackware 122.1 installed on my backup system. I have a wired ethernet card, and a wireless card.
Wired card works great, right from first install.
Wireless - I had to learn how to config it... Anyway, I can get it to connect to my router, only after I enable it, and run the command 'iwconfig eth1 key 11222334455' ( not the real key ). I have the key entered in the rc.wireless.conf file. I have verified it is the correct key.
The card is [HTML]Network controller: Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset (rev 01)[/HTML]
The driver
Apparently you did not enter that key in the right place, or you forgot to also add some configuration to rc.inet1.conf for that wireless device.
Read http://alien.slackbook.org/dokuwiki/...ckware:network which is an article I wrote recently to explain the rc.inet1.conf and rc.wireless.conf files a bit better (the available documentation in the Slackbook is too generic).
Thank-you for the reply. I have read some of your documentation. I will have another go at it, after reading the material at the link provided.
I have followed your documentation, and have added all wireless config to the /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf file. The wireless card works now, thank-you for the well written documentation.
Hello Alien Bob,
Your networking document is awesome ... fantastic work, thanks!
One thing I was wondering ... is there a .PDF version of it anywhere that I can download?
(I have tried using the 'printable version' and converting it to a PDF ... but it came out looking a little odd and is not as easy to read).
It would be really great to have a permanent copy of your document, formatted the same as the webpage, to store in my 'Manuals' folder.
Thanks again, I'll look forward to hearing from you :)
I uploaded a PDF version of the network configuration article here: http://slackware.com/~alien/alienwik..._slackware.pdf
Hello Eric,
Thank you very much, I really appreciate your work!
Cheers :)
I second that, thanks for the PDF, I always like it when folks give us a good way to download and print thiewr work. I sure makes a good way to study it.

Paralympic champion appeals for help after her running legs are stolen
World Paralympic long jump champion Vanessa Low has revealed that the prosthetic blades she uses to compete have been stolen.
The German athlete took gold in last October's World Championships in Doha, Qatar, setting a new world record for her classification in the process.
Low uses similar blades to those worn by Oscar Pistorius during his track career, and she has appealed for the return of her equipment ahead of this August's Paralympic Games in Rio.
She was competing at the Desert Challenge Games when the theft took place.
My running legs got stolen today at #DesertChallengeGames @IPCAthletics. please help me find / replace them! pic.twitter.com/AFn0a4DD8F— Vanessa Low (@low_vanessa) May 15, 2016

GOOD MORNING, BLOGTOWN! I had to interrupt and stop this conversation. Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation. LET'S GO TO PRESS.
Israel withdrew many of their ground troops from the Gaza Strip yesterday in an apparent "wind down" of their war against the Palestinians which left more than 1,800 there dead. Mission accomplished?
Okay, maybe they spoke too soon: As Israel made the above announcement, they also allegedly hit a U.N. school in Gaza with an airstrike that held displaced people, killing 10.
Okay, definitely spoke too soon: A Palestinian kills an Israeli in Jerusalem, and then overturned a bus with a construction vehicle (!!) in an apparent response to the war.
Meanwhile in Lebanon, thousands of Lebanese civilians and refugees from Syria flee for their lives as troops battle al-Qaida militants.
A 14-year-old Nigerian girl is charged with murder for poisoning the 35-year-old man she was forced to marry.
President Obama throws shade at Vladimir Putin in an interview with The Economist, saying that "Russia doesn't make anything." (Don't those awesome YouTube videos count?)
So apparently the CIA has a lot of 'splainin' to do regarding their suspect torture activities following 9/11—but luckily they have Republicans to sing their praises. Now, instead of constantly screaming "BENGAZI!!" they can yell, "OSAMA BIN LADEN!!!"
A landslide in Nepal is thought to have killed 160 people.
Two Americans may have been saved from the Ebola virus by a super secret experimental serum (which may or may not have been the one they gave Captain America... probably not).
Let's not blame Beyonce for this headline, okay? "Man Gropes Woman, Bites Off Her Boyfriend's Finger Tip At Beyonce-Jay Z Concert "
Now here's what's going on in your neck of the woods: Another hottie today with temps hitting 90—but don't worry, a slight cool down is scheduled for later in the week.
And finally, it takes this pro stuntman three attempts, but he jumps off a two-story building, slides down the roof of a house, and lands on a spiral staircase. FEH! My morning commute is tougher than that.

Think about what career is best suited for you, and where you want to study. Request more information now.
Find info concerning Eastern Michigan University criminal justice classes, and registering for departmental seminars and elective lectures. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. It may surprise you that it's possible to enroll for a full-time course load, without having any 8am classes at all. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Eastern Michigan University criminology information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Eastern Michigan University.
To keep your GPA as high as possible, study the schedule of classes carefully, and note the add/drop deadlines, as well as the requirements for changing a grade. If you get an incomplete, or worse a low grade, you can still retake the class, as some schools allow you to average the two grades on your final transcript. Challenge yourself by taking some courses outside your major to fulfill breadth requirements.
By purchasing lecture notes from a reputable source such as the student union, you can save time by not taking notes in class, and concentrate on paying better attention. You also can audit courses that you're interested in, but would prefer to skip exams and just listen in. Beyond consideration for Eastern Michigan University criminal justice classes, you may think about Drexel University grade changes for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Ohio businesses being overcharged
The Jan. 7 edition of Crain's Cleveland Business featured an op-ed piece written by Steve Buehrer, director of the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation, in which he says the goal of the bureau under his leadership is to make it easier for Ohio businesses to "invest more in growth." As one of 270,000 Ohio small business owners that were overcharged nearly $1 billion in premiums by the bureau, I hope this means that the director will immediately order the bureau to refund the overcharges in accordance with the recent decision of Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Richard McMonagle finding that the bureau overcharged me and the other companies and owes us our money back. I can't think of a better way for the director to truly demonstrate the bureau's commitment to Ohio businesses than to acknowledge its mistake and comply with the court finding. Director Buehrer needs to take his lead from Gov. John Kasich, who recently in response to overpayments of the commercial activity tax by a large number of Ohio businesses, ordered an immediate refund. Repayment of these overcharges to Ohio businesses is long overdue. The immediate infusion of a billion dollars into Ohio businesses which this repayment would cause will go a long way in demonstrating that Director Buehrer means what he says about looking out for the interests of Ohio businesses and employees.

Cape Town - Legal Aid SA (Lasa) achieved its 10th consecutive unqualified report and a sixth consecutive year of no matters of emphasis in the auditor general's report in 2010/11.
This indicated strong financial management, Lasa CEO Vidhu Vedalankar told reporters in Cape Town on Tuesday.
During the year, Lasa provided legal services in 421 365 new legal matters - 389 914 of them criminal and 31 451 civil cases, she said.
General legal advice was also provided to 243 693 clients.
The organisation, which had 64 justice centres and 64 satellite offices around the country, also expanded its footprint with the launch of its client call centre in November 2010.
This advice line helped 13 926 callers with first level legal advice in five official languages.
Children were helped in 28 115 legal matters. Of these, 25 586 were criminal matters and 2 529 civil.
Lasa spent 99% of its R1.2bn budget as at March 31, 2011, Vedalankar said.
Lasa spokesperson Mpho Phasha said the public-funded entity would continue to vigorously defend the rights enshrined in the Constitution to ensure that access to justice became a reality to South Africans.
"Through our civil work, we will continue to ensure that the poor can enjoy their socio-economic rights and have such rights protected by a court of law through sustainable legal aid schemes," Phasha said.
Lasa board chairperson, Labour Court Judge President Dunstan Mlambo, said the organisation would continue strengthening its leadership and investment in its people.
Lasa intended becoming the legal employer of choice for people committed to serving the poor and vulnerable and making the Constitution a living document for all South Africans.
It would continue to address its limited responsiveness in civil matters resulting from financial constraints.
Lasa recently established 13 civil units, and employed civil legal professionals at every justice centre, to increase access to civil legal aid, Mlambo said.
Could it be .. a department that actually works for the people! What ever next .. council workers??
Legal Aid is not a state department, it is only funded by the state. So, unfortunately we have yet to see a department that works...
Im with legalwise, platinum . been with them for 5years. hopefully if I ever need there services they are able to step up to the plate.
Doesn't it make you feel proud that they are using YOUR tax contribution to defend the very same criminals who break into your house, rob, rape and kill the occupants and generally cause mayhem! The more tax you contribute, the more likely you are NOT to qualify for legal aid. The more inefficient they become, the better!!
Legal Aid is rubbish anyway! But still wasting tax money.
Doha.... A corrupt lawyer has a lot more to loose than a regular government official. If a lawyer is disbarred he can not practice law and therefore dose not have a job.
If a government official is sacked he gets a better job in another department. No doubt thanks to the party!
No wonder legal aid has a clean audit.

Shawnee Mission (Kan.) Bishop Miege star receiver Justin McCay is one of the top 2010 players in all of Kansas City.
In fact some believe the 6-foot-3, 197-pounder might already be the best overall athlete in the area, especially since he will be recruiting in both football and basketball.
But for now, things have been really heating up for him on the football front.
Article Continues Below
"Recruiting is going pretty good, especially for it being this early," McCay said. "I got a few of offers –Wisconsin, Notre Dame, K-State, KU and Missouri have offered me. Missouri is up there because they're on top right now and they're in the Big 12. I wouldn't say they're my top pick right now, but they're doing good in football, so that's a plus."
McCay hit camps at Wisconsin, Kansas and Missouri this summer. He said all three were impressive.
"I've been talking to Wisconsin and coach Dave Doeren and DelVaughn Alexander a lot," McCay said. "I went to their camp. I just got back from there just a week or two ago. It was a really nice up there. I liked it. I also went to KU and MU's camp earlier this summer, too."
Early on two coaches have stood out to him.
"I've been talking to coach Andy Hill of MU and coach Alexander from Wisconsin," he said. "Those are the two main schools I've been talking to right now. But all the schools are different and none of them stand out too much right now. They're all cool."
"My dad is real cool about the process. He just tells me to be humble and make hard decisions by thinking about it. I'm looking for after college, what a coach can bring off the field too. How the players do in the classroom and on the field and do they care or am I just another number."
The rest of his summer, McCay has been busy getting ready for his junior season.
"This year it should be fun," he said. "Hopefully we win state. I'm going to play wide receiver, returner and outside linebacker. Wide receiver is my favorite. I think I'm really good with my breaks, route running, and I'm getting stronger."
"We made it to the state semifinals and if we would've won we would've made it to the championship."

Those attracted to careers in finance are a particular breed; they thrive off of high-pressure situations, love deadlines, and work better when the stakes are higher. There's plenty of reason to follow a career path in the financial services industry—exciting job opportunities, plenty of room for advancement, and high earnings potential. However, the finance sector isn't all positive; there are certain disadvantages to this path. Take both the good and bad into consideration before embarking on your path to financial positions.
Long Hours
If you're looking for a 9 to 5 job, finance isn't the route for you. Because finance relies heavily upon global markets, you'll find that your schedule is inconsistent. You can expect early mornings, late nights, and weekend work depending on your position, firm, or employer. It's also important to consider the fact that this industry is never stagnant; you'll be constantly expected to remain abreast of the latest trends, meaning your job is simply never finished. This can see you working even longer hours than anticipated, and prove to be more stressful than you might imagine at first.
Speaking of stress, those in the finance industry need to be able to manage their stress levels. There are high-pressure deadlines and fast paced work environments, and your efforts can often affect the outcome of a project, indicating a high level of responsibility. You'll be dealing with high power clients and large amounts of cash. Should the market turn, you may find yourself in hot water, which can prove to be extremely stressful. Those who do go into this industry must be aware of the dangers and risks inherent to the consistent pressures, and look for ways to alleviate stress from the very start. Whether that be through guided meditation or by way of yoga, it's important to come up with an action plan.
Plenty of Diversity
Which path will you take? Finance is a field rife with opportunity, and this diversity draws in individuals from all manners of discipline. However, the job you choose can mean the difference between salary rates, stability, and advancement. Just a few of the jobs one might pursue in the finance industry include:
- Financial adviser
- Financial trader
- Investment analyst
- Actuary
- Chartered accountant
- Banker
- Investment banker
- Corporate treasurer
- Tax adviser/inspector
- Stock broker
Each of these facilitates the need for varied educational requirements, and each offers its own set of challenges and rewards, so it's important to consider which is best suited to your job aspirations.
Advancement Opportunities
Despite the stresses and time commitment inherent to finance careers, there are serious benefits in the form of advancement opportunities. There are a variety of credentials and certifications that can help you stand out amongst your peers, which in turn will open up the doors for better employment and higher salary rates. From CFA charters to CPA certifications, there's a bevy of roles that offer clear cut paths for advancement. Even better news? Employers are often willing to foot the bill for these advancements, as expanding your skill set and company prestige can help the business in the long run. Depending upon your employer or firm, you may find that your company is willing to pay for you to pursue an online master's degree. Others may help you foot the bill for study materials and resources. Considering that CFA Level 1 study material alone can cost hundreds of dollars, this can be extremely beneficial for your future—and your wallet.
The Money Flows
Finance jobs do offer some pretty impressive compensation rates, especially when compared to other top industries. Even those just starting in the finance sector can reap big rewards. According to Allbusinessschools.com, the median annual salary for personal financial advisors comes in at $81,060, while financial managers can expect to make a median annual salary of $115,320. While you won't necessarily make these numbers your first year in, it's easy to see that the potential for amazing compensation is there.
If you're considering a foray into the field of finance, consider both the positive and negative aspects of this type of career. While there are great advantages, including high compensation rates, advancement opportunity, there are setbacks in the form of stress and time commitments.

hello, i need to get to holly head by sept 27 at 11:00am but for really cheap. please help me!!!!
Would you give us a little hint on where you're starting from???
Well, I'll make the assumption that you are starting in the UK.
The cheapest way to travel is by National Express coach (Megabus runs no coaches to Holyhead). www.nationalexpress.com From London journey time is around 7 hours, but the coach will not get you there for 11 am: you'll need to stay overnight. Single fare from London is 28.50GBP.
Your only other option is the train (unless you live near enough to Holyhead to take a local bus/buses). www.nationalrail.co.uk for times and fares
Gwynedd local bus routes/times here:
If you're going to Dublin/Ireland then a through fare from most major cities in UK is hardly anymore explensive than travelling just to the port of Holyhead.......book 1 ticket if that's where you're heading, either by coach or rail via the ferry/hovercraft
Return to Holyhead travel answers

|The School
|The School's Staff
|How Our Courses Work
|When You Complete A Course
|Work Experience & Projects
|Common Questions & Answers
|If I do a shorter course first can I get credits towards a certificate or diploma later?
|Yes. We will assess previous studies to give you appropriate credits. Doing it this way will probably take a little longer and cost more in fees though.
|When can I start my course?
|Anytime of the year
|Can I pay in instalments?
|Yes, we have the 2-payment option for our 100-hour short courses and there are more instalment options for our Certificate and higher qualifications.
|Do we get a discount if we enrol in a second course.
|Yes, you may claim a 5% fee discount when you enrol in a second course. This does not apply however to the second stage or part of the same certificate or diploma.
What happens if I have to stop studying for a while?
(eg. Get sick, go on holidays, have a baby).
|Apply for an extension. It's OK to take a break and start up your study at a later point in time. Just let us know.
|How do I contact my tutor?
|Write, fax, email or phone the school. Leave a message if your tutor isn't available and they will phone, write or fax back; whatever you wish.
|How long does a shorter course (ie. 80-120hrs) take to complete?
|Commonly no more than one year. Some students finish in less than 6 months.
|How long does a certificate take to complete?
|Commonly around 6-9 months if studying full time; or around two years if studying part time. With dedication, part time students can complete a certificate in one year.
|How does recognition of the school compare with other colleges?
We operate a different system to most other institutions. Our recognition is very good, but again different.
We have focused more on giving our students those things that industry wants; and seeking support from industry and international recognition; rather than local or national government accreditation's.
We have worked within government accreditation systems in the past; and found major disadvantages (eg. To have government accreditation meant increased bureaucracy, a greater focus on assessment, less focus on learning and less ability to change courses quickly in response to changes in the world).
Often other colleges tend to operate only in one state or region, and may be poorly recognised outside of that area.
We are recognised by the International Accreditation and Recognition Council; and some of our courses have other accreditations.
In some cases it is possible to obtain government accredited credentials through studies with ACS; however, as a principle, we do not compromise the focus on learning or the value we can give you for your fees; simply to be able to offer some form of accreditation
|What benefit is it to study these courses?
We focus on developing your learning. We aim to improve your capacity to function and grow within the discipline you study; well into the future, after you leave us.
We have an outstanding success rate with graduates. It is rare to find graduates who do not excel after leaving us; however, everyone should always understand that success comes not just from study, but also by being involved in something that you are passionate about, and which suits your natural strengths.
We encourage every prospective student to communicate with one of our tutors and explore the study possibilities before enrolling; to ensure that they choose a course that matches the person that they are.
|What do I get as a student?
You need to understand that a course is "an experience that makes you into a different (more capable) person". If a course does it's job
properly; you will graduate with a different mind set, and a different perspective on the subject you studied. To bring about these changes
involves presenting you with information of course; but it's a great deal more than that. Some people enter study, thinking it's all about
collecting information; but that's not study (that's building a library).
As a student, we provide you with things to read, selected information about the subject -but not too much information for the duration of the course. If we gave you too much, the important things could not be emphasised as easily and you could not experience the reinforcement and reflection which is critical to a learning experience.
We also guide you through experiences, whether observation and reflection; research; or practical tasks. These experiences are designed with input from highly experienced psychologists and educators; to achieve the learning which we aim to develop.
We believe an important part of this whole learning process is to provide support; whether through automated services and extra resources (eg. in the student room) or through generous access to academic specialists who can guide and mentor the student as needed. Your fees are paying not only for a set of notes; but for a whole process of learning to be designed, maintained and supported by having resources standing ready to support you whenever we detect you straying off course; or whenever you approach us seeking assistance.
