There are many wondrous, enigmatic and fascinating attractions on the Big Island of Hawaii, some better known than others, many out of the way and generally off the beaten track. Tour Guide Hawaii has produced an encyclopedic collection of the most up-to-date information, presented as short GPS-cued videos, in an app downloadable to iPhone and iPod Touch that covers the entire Big Island, highlighting the popular and the uncrowded, the famous and the secluded, the adventurous and the relaxing.
Pahoehoe, A'a, Pele's Tears and Pele's Hair
It is obvious to even the most causal observer that various lava formations and lava fields of Hawaii display two distinctly different types of lava flows. Some flows are very smooth, with obvious, well-preserved flow structures, looking almost like poured taffy that has hardened. Others appear more clunky, clinkery and jagged like a field of sharp boulders and cobbles. These two unique rock types result from two distinctly different types of lava flows, Pahoehoe and A'a.
The onomatopoetic word "pahoehoe" flows across your tongue in the same fashion that pahoehoe lava flows down the volcano. Gelatinous and smooth, it looks a bit like small waves with bulbous, lobate "toes" at the front of the flow. As the advancing lobe cools, a thin crust forms on its surface. This crust is expanded and broken by the pressure of lava flowing in behind, in a continually advancing flow. A distinctive breaking-glass sound is made when that cooling crust fractures, which can be disorienting and surprising at first.
The Hawaiian word "pahoehoe" means "to paddle a canoe vigorously" or "well stirred" and indeed, pahoehoe lava has the look of water being furiously paddled by canoeists, or indeed, of well-stirred poi. These highly fluid pahoehoe flows form from the hottest lava with high dissolved fluid content. As the lava cools and de-gasses, the second kind of flow, a'a lava, is formed from it.
A'a flows travel along as a dense mass of highly viscous lava covered in sharp, broken shards called clinkers. Like a tractor tread, a'a clinkers fall off the advancing front of the flow and are buried as the flow moves forward over them, sounding for all the world like a herd of wild bulls has run amok in the world's largest china shop.
A'a lava, which cools to great piles of razor sharp clinkers, has given rise to the myth that its name derives from Hawaiian's walking across the cooled a'a barefoot, wincing and saying "Ah! Ah!" with every cringing step. In fact, the word "a'a" in Hawaiian not only means "to blaze or glow" but also "to dare or challenge". It is a testament to the toughness of Hawaiian warriors that when choosing the site for a battle field, inevitably they chose to fight on an a'a field—using the razor sharp a'a strewn along the landscape as a weapon in and of itself.
Flows generally emerge from the volcano as pahoehoe and change to a'a as they cool and de-gas or as they are subjected to stress and strain forces. It is especially common to find pahoehoe flows changing to a'a in the midst of a steep drop over a cliff, or when butted-up against an impediment to flow. Like the cucumber becoming a pickle, once pahoehoe turns to a'a, in can never turn back into pahoehoe.
Where fire fountains and geysers of lava occur, Pele's hair and Pele's tears will form. Pele's hair are thin, fiber-like strands of basalt glass pulled and spun from the lava fountain by the blowing wind,. Pele's tears are the droplet-sized, cooled splashes of basalt glass that from from showering, spraying lava.

Look for the cheapest travel options
If you are travelling abroad to a country that is relatively nearby such as France, there is a tendency to assume that flying will be the
most expensive travel option. However, this is frequently not the case. When you take into consideration the fuel associated with driving,
or the cost of train tickets both in the UK and in France as well as the crossing itself, it often works out cheaper just to hop on a plane.
The added bonus is that you can be in your destination in under an hour depending on the part of the country you are going to. So before you
book the ferry or Eurostar, just check the prices of the flights. Whatever method you use, make sure that you book the cheapest way, looking
out for hidden charges. It is usually best to book direct, but don't rule out special offers through booking agents working out cheaper.
Choose your accommodation wisely
If you're not lucky enough to win accommodation in one of our exciting auctions, there are a few other cheap options available to you. Of
course, camping is revered for being a cheap way to get away on holiday. These days, some campsites can be holiday resorts in themselves
with pools, bars and restaurants on site. You also have the option of staying in a mobile home or caravan instead of a tent. If camping
isn't your thing, self-catering accommodation can work out almost as cheaply and have the added bonus of being a real home from home. The
other option for a cheap holiday is to book at the very last minute, making the most of hotels that would prefer to sell the rooms at a
heavily discounted rate rather than have empty rooms.

Going on a vacation is a prospect which would thrill a large number of people, especially with the kind of ever – increasing stresses which
today's working environments lead to, with schedules becoming more and more intense and developments in communication taking work beyond the
9 to 5 routine, which used to be the norm of old.
Therefore, it does not come as much of a surprise to know that many people want to make the most of any opportunity they have to go on a
vacation because chances are that they will not be able to do so for a while after their days off are up. This means that whenever the
opportunity for a vacation comes, these people should be well prepared and ready to make the kind of decisions they have to make. In order
to do so, the right planning is the key.
aa.com reservations
One major component of a vacation is how to get to your vacation destination and, unless you plan on spending all your time in the
accommodation provided, how you can travel once you are at your vacation destination, so that you get to see all the sights which are
waiting for you there.
Regardless of the host of amenities and facilities provided in air travel, this fact that aviation is a service industry cannot be
forgotten. The air travel industry, both – domestic and international, has undergone a significant ascent in the last decade or so. More and
more people are opting for aerial experience of travel and tourism.
family travel from kayak
The global air passenger traffic has shown a considerable rise with almost all parts of the world reporting a comparative upsurge,
according to a study. Emerging aviation markets have recorded progressive results while stable areas have reported a modest boost. With more
and more cheap international airlines expanding their network and offering wide connectivity, the influx of people opting for air travel has
bolstered the aviation market heavily. However, the profit margin for international carriers is still low due to common reasons, which many
industries face.
Extensive Capital Investment
flights to cancun
An aviation company requires extensive capital investment and a lot of money is involved in the maintenance of the fleet. There are multiple
facets involved in the operation of an air service providing organisation. From the construction of large hangars and purchasing tested
aircraft to updating technology on a regular basis and buying the latest equipment, all this involves heavy investment of resources. In the
case of international carriers, the amount increases even more. Thus, the margin between the amount invested and revenue earned is generally
not too much. Moreover, the investment is usually done from sanctioned loans, which have to be paid back within a limited period of time.

If you are looking to save, some time and money then scan the websites of different airlines services and book last minute air tickets to
your choice of destination. In fact, cheap business class tickets are ideal for companies that look at various cost-cutting options to
minimize their expenses. It is a myth that only advance bookings can be economical!
In view of uncertain economic conditions, rising shipping costs, expensive supplies, rising equipment and machinery prices and rising
employee related costs, companies have no other option but to reduce their expenditure. Given that employees, board members and other staff
members of large and small companies travel to international locations for official meetings and business purposes, booking flight tickets
at reasonable rates can certainly help them save a huge amount of their money. Businesses can use this money for further expansion and
achieving their targets easily. With nearly all the leading airlines services offering last minute air tickets options, booking tickets at a
very short notice has become both effortless. In fact, last minute flight ticket is an excellent option for business and corporate travelers
who are looking to network with their prospective and existing clients at various international locations.
Travelers can check the websites and book tickets to numerous domestic and international locations and get special and discounted flight
tickets in no time. So, if you are in a hurry for hassle-free business trip, then book last minute business class ticket to your preferred
destination right away!
Other Ideas
Taking advantage of what is known as fare buckets is also a great way to gain savings in air travel. The further in advance a ticket is
purchased the more fare options there are. On some flights there may be over a dozen different fares for coach, business or first class
seats. However, it is often the case, that the cheaper the fare, the more restrictions and conditions there are attached to that bucket. And
the few ways to find a cheaper fare bucket seat may be to change the time of departure or leaving a day earlier or later.

Further, there is also the website, ExpertFlyer.Com, an airline-independent website that does not sell tickets; rather, the site lists all
the fares and rules for all flights. ExpertFlyer.Com is designed to meet needs of the frequent flyer, the airline mileage program "elite-
tier" passengers, professional travel managers, and the occasional air traveler looking for the best values. ExpertFlyer.Com is a 24/7
real-time powerful air travel information service and offers information on seat maps on specific flights that show which flights are
occupied or not.
Generally, the cost and rigors of air travel can be daunting. Ways these rigors can be minimized is to travel smart. Other useful resources
worth taking a look at when making travel plans are websites such as SeatGuru and SeatExpert-sites with proven technology that offer designs
of the cabins and graphical layouts of seats and the pros and cons for the various seats on the planes.

Travellers who are looking for cheap fares to their favorite Destination can consider booking air tickets via travel portals. These tour
websites are also known as online travel agencies or OTAs. The advent of the internet has led to the dawn of the era of online travel
agencies, which have now almost replaced the traditional agents.
Booking air tickets via these websites is an easier, quicker and above all cheaper task. Today, more and more travellers prefer making
reservations through OTAs over the traditional agents. There is a plethora of benefits of booking seats in an aircraft via these websites.
The primary advantages include no time bind, no geographical constraints, cheaper deals and wide range of options.
Online Air Ticket Booking saves Time and Enable Users Customize Deals
Tourists who use the internet for making reservations with their favourite airline end up saving a lot of time. They do not have to pay
visits to travel agents and ask for follow ups again and again. They can simply log on to any leading tour portal, browse through the
available options and make reservations as per their preferences. Another benefit of making reservations online is that fliers can customize
the packages. For example, during Kenya Airways flight ticket booking, a passenger can club the air ticket with airport transfer service, as
well as hotel reservations. Besides, they can select the aircraft seat of their choice, sign up for in-flight services and avail special
Compare and Contrast:
What Luggage is Restricted
You should start by visiting a hotel price comparison site such as trivago. Such sites are great places to look up a certain hotel, or
hotels in a particular area and then make comparisons on which site will offer you the best deals for that time you plan on visiting that
particular place. Another good site is TripAdvisor, it – apart from a ton of reviews and other useful stuff – shows you which sites will
offer what prices. It will then directly link you to that site so you may quickly book a deal you like.
Sell Off Vacations
Some hotel owners deem it wise to make some profit than none hence their booking sites offer an auction service in which the customer can
bit on a room in a particular hotel. This is beneficial for both the owner and the customer, the latter gets a discount and the former makes
a profit. Search for these if you can.
For those who allow a little more leeway on where and when they want to go on their vacation, daily deals and last minute deals can offer
amazing options. Other sites include 'dealofthedayholidays'. Here you can find really good holiday deals available from a variety of

Countless studies confirm that Americans are stressed out. And why shouldn't we be? Life just keeps moving faster and faster, and there's no
time to catch your breath, which means you have to make time! That's why more and more couples, friends, and even singles are taking a
weekend to relax at hotels with spas. But how does someone who has never been to one go about planning the perfect stay? Here are a few
things to consider.
Relaxing Environment
porter airlines
The right atmosphere can put you immediately at ease, while the wrong one can make you feel even more tense. To get a good idea about the
look and feel of a place, visit the establishment's official website. Flipping through photos of the hotel and grounds should give you a
basis of comparison when you visit other sites. It is also a big plus if the facility provides private rooms for massages and other
Licensed Professionals
Marriott Vacation
Before you book a room at a luxury hotel spa, it is important to find out if all of their masseuses and technicians are licensed
professionals. Don't just assume they will be due to the fact that the spa is expensive. After all, many legitimate businesses are known to
cut corners to save money. As such, you should always inquire about licensing ahead of time.
If you're going on vacation this year to a new travel destination that you have not been to before part of your budget is going to be for
food. It really does not matter what your budget is because eating at restaurants every day for every meal will tear it up.
jetblue flights to kingston
My suggestion is finding out where you can eat out cheaply before taking your vacation. One of the best ways of finding really great food at
cheap prices is ask some of the Locals. People who live in the area where you plan on traveling know where the best food is at the best
prices. Many of these restaurants offer discounts for travelers and even pay some of the local people to suggest their restaurant to
If you already have set up your accommodations at a resort or hotel you can call in advance and ask the concierge if he has any discount
coupons at good restaurants in the travel location you plan on traveling to. Or you could just ask him where he goes to eat when he does eat
at a restaurant.
One of the biggest mistakes people traveling do is waiting till they arrive at their getaway and look for restaurants that are loaded with
tourists. Most of these people have no clue either and pick a spot close to their resort or hotel because it is more convenient than to get
lost driving around town or wind up at someplace they get food poisoning at.
british airways booking
You will come across many deals on the internet which will be offering incredibly reasonable deals for the time you wish to stay. On the
other hand, you can also inquire with a travel agent about special hotel promotions.
It's also a good idea that you discuss with your friends and family if they can suggest you some good hotels. Your relatives or friends can
give you good info about the hotels where they have already spent their vacation at.
The truth is that people who have already stayed at some hotel can provide you a better idea about the facilities and services rather than
the information given in the advertisements.
So you see with a little bit of research you can save a lot of your hard money before you make any reservation. The sooner you start your
accommodation research the better chances you have at finding good deals.
So, you are desperate to find some luxury hotel or apartment accommodation, but are worried about whether or not you can afford it.
Perhaps you're also getting a little bit depressed because you simply can't make the figures add up and therefore are starting to think that
you'll have to compromise and find somewhere much cheaper with fewer attractions.
Well, don't despair, as it may be possible to find accommodation in some of those top locations if you adopt some of the following tips.
trivago travel
1. Look around the marketplace for special deals and offers on the top luxury accommodation. They do exist and for various reasons. They can
sometimes save you a huge amount of money over paying the standard prices.
2. Where possible, try to look at moving your holiday dates to periods where the schools are not on holiday. Although it might be a little
distasteful, it's a commercial reality that many hotels will put their prices up by huge amounts at times in the year when they know the
kids are on holiday and families will be looking for their holidays. If you don't have children, you may be able to take advantage of this
because at other times of the year their rates may be much more reasonable.
allegiant flights to boston
3. Don't always believe the asking price on the Internet. Contact the accommodation agent, explain your budget position and ask them if they
have any options. You may find that they have some special 'under the radar' deals they may be able to offer you because they are trying to
fill unexpected gaps in their bookings due to cancellations etc. Don't feel inhibited – you lose nothing by asking.

Comfort and relaxation are the top things you want to enjoy in any accommodation facility that you have selected for a business or family
stay in any given area. The kind of stay experience you have can determine how you end up looking at the destination and how valuable it is
to you. The reason why people make repeat customers in one given place is simply as a result of the experience they have. If you are looking
for an experience to remember, you will need to make the right decision with the accommodation facility.
It should be your style – You can tell how much you like it by looking at how it is presented. The décor, the design of the hotel and the
rooms in particular can have a lot to do with just how much you get to love it. The more vibrant and appealing to you the facility is, the
more likely you are to enjoy your stay and remember it for a long period of time. It can be hard to enjoy even the shortest of stay in a
hotel you like nothing about. Start by making sure that you love the ambience of the facility before booking into a room.
all inclusive vacation packages
It should have all services important to you – If you have children, you are better placed in a facility which offers babysitting services
to match your needs. If you would rather have your laundry taken care of all through the stay, choose a facility that has laundry services.
The same should go for other services including housemaid and transport among others. The best accommodation facility will offer you a
pleasant stay when you can enjoy all services you wish to during the stay.
A vacation has different meanings to various people. Some people see a vacation as an opportunity to change their surroundings or even as a
change of weather. But for some select few, a vacation is a chance that will permit them to unwind and simply relax to enjoy the pleasures
of their yearlong hard work. It is precisely for this reason that they like to splurge on all the luxuries for themselves during their
vacation and luxury vacation rentals allow you to do exactly that.

These extravagant luxury vacation rentals are opulent and lavish homes, condos, lodges, inns or villas that have all the essential amenities
however they are also stacked with luxuries elements of high extravagance. For example, you can discover an extravagant shoreline front
estate that contains all the indispensable luxuries and more. A few such examples of these luxuries include a gourmet kitchen, sauna, gym,
spa, party hall, home theater, swimming pool, sprawling gardens and that's just the beginning.

http://mmajunkie.com Diego Sanchez's loss could be Josh Koscheck's gain.
Koscheck (15-5 MMA, 13-5 UFC), who hasn't fought since a December title loss to welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre due to a broken orbital bone, tweeted that he's accepted Sanchez's spot on this month's UFC 135 card.
Sanchez (23-4 MMA, 12-4 UFC) recently pulled out of a fight with Matt Hughes (45-8 MMA, 18-6 UFC) due a broken hand. Koscheck now awaits word from Hughes on whether he'll accept the bout.
UFC 135 takes place Sept. 24 at Denver's Pepsi Center. A title fight between light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson headlines the pay-per-view main card.
Hughes and Sanchez were slated for the co-main event, and if Koscheck officially takes the spot, it'll likely retain co-headlining status.
Koscheck earned his title shot after winning three straight fights and four of five. The victories came over the likes of Anthony Johnson and Paul Daley. However, "The Ultimate Fighter 1" cast member and former NCAA Division I national wrestling champion then suffered a one-sided decision loss to St-Pierre in his first-ever title shot. He's been recovering since the UFC 124 defeat and received clearance to resume full training a month ago, though he's remained active even during the recovery.
Meanwhile, Hughes hasn't fought since November 2010, when he suffered a quick, 21-second knockout to B.J. Penn. Hughes, who long had been considered the best welterweight in MMA history, briefly contemplated retirement in 2008 following back-to-back losses to St-Pierre and Thiago Alves. However, while fighting only occasionally, the UFC Hall of Famer had put together a three-fight win streak with victories over Matt Serra, Renzo Gracie and Ricardo Almeida before the recent Penn loss.
For the latest on UFC 135, stay tuned to the UFC Rumors section of the site.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
I had stopped to run in the Dollar Store three weeks ago to get some cleaning supplies with my sister in law. Just as we got ready to get in the car; I was approached by a young Jehovah's Witness. I knew that he was only because he had the Watchtower or Awake newsletter with him. I cannot specifically say because I never took it from him.
MY JEHOVAH'S WITNESS ENCOUNTER (I've had many)
He walked up and said: "Good Morning! Would you like a book as he pushed it towards my hand.
"Bless you today! How are you? " I said.
Well no thanks…I replied…I'm a born again believer!"
That didn't deter him; he still tried to give me the book.
I asked him: "Do you believe in Jesus?"
"Yes Mam." He nodded his head profoundly.
"Do you believe in the Holy Spirit." I said expecting him to say No.
"Yes Mam."
"You do?"
"Yes Mam"
"Okay, let's pray…" I said
"Oh No…he got loud…I don't want you to pray for me." He started backing up.
I grabbed him and I said: "I don't want to pray for you, I want to pray with you!"
As he thought it over trying most urgently..
I said. "Jesus said Love your neighbor as yourself didn't he?"
"Yes Mam"
"Jesus said men ought always to pray didn't he."
"Yes Mam he did"
"Well let's pray. That's what Jesus would have us to do to touch and agree."
He made a decision. It was as though he'd been trained to make an exit in whatever he deemed to be an uncomfortable time. He starting backing away. "I don't want to pray." He kept shaking his head no …but he looked like that didn't even make sense to him.
Now…that was amazing to me because even people who don't go to church like to pray. I can stop a stranger on the street and I've never been turned down. Why was this young man so afraid to pray?
You can 't be saved without Jesus. He said: "My sheep hear my voice and the voice of a stranger they will not follow."
Are you following Jesus or the voice of a stranger? It's something to think about.
"How can you walk away from prayer…time with the Father? I raised my voice.
His face said it all: he hadn't been prepared for that.
I was out witnessing and I was led to give a card about Jesus to a woman who appeared to be in her forties.
I gave her the card. She took it.
Not long after that she found me…she began to scream and yell: "I hate you Christians! Always trying to force your beliefs on someone. That's just why I'm an atheist!"
I said nothing. I prayed for her many many days after that. I believe that I was at the front end of an assignment. My job was to plant the seed. Someone else would come along and water it. For whatever reason; God had His eye on this woman that she would not see Hell.
For the record: Atheists don't have a plan of Salvation; they don't think it's necessary.

It's difficult to tell who should be more excited NBC officially picked up "Chicago Fire" for a second season Friday: The cast and crew of the firefighter drama or the Illinois Film Office.
The good news allows the Dick Wolf-produced show to concentrate on developing cliffhangers that will bring viewers back for Season 2 and provides the cast and crew, including stars Taylor Kinney and Jesse Spencer, with job security.
"It was really unnerving," Danielle Gelber, executive producer of "Chicago Fire," said Saturday by phone. "It felt like we were really doing well for the network. I figured we had a good chance to come back, but you never want to assume anything. That waiting period was tough, but we hung in there."
Spencer, on the other hand, claimed he wasn't too nervous about the show's future.
"I knew we'd get picked up and didn't worry about it," Spencer said by phone Sunday. "I already booked my apartment for next (season) without having the official word. That shows how confident I was, like 'We'll get it.' Our show has been very steady for NBC and done well in its time slot. We've built up a core audience over the past year."
For the film office, the news marks the first time a network series filmed entirely in-state will be picked up for a second season since Fox's "Prison Break" in 2006 (ironically, "Prison Break" moved production to the Dallas area the next season). Fox's "The Chicago Code" was canceled after one season, while NBC's "The Playboy Club" was canceled after three episodes in 2011.
"It means a lot for us — most importantly, jobs," said Illinois Film Office managing director Betsy Steinberg on Saturday by email. "The spending a show like this does in just one season usually exceeds even a large motion picture. So economically speaking, the news of Season two is downright excellent."
"We never had the benefit of a really strong, impactful lead-in like 'The Voice,'" Gelber said. "We did have 'Law & Order: SVU' lead us in, but for the first few weeks, it was really touch and go. I think it was the third week when ratings really jumped. And the ratings never dropped in the second half-hour. (Viewers would) stay until the end, which was encouraging."
As has been reported in the Tribune, "Chicago Fire" could have a spinoff next season. The show would revolve around police officers introduced at the end of this season and would star Tania Raymonde (I saw Raymonde on set when "Chicago Fire" filmed at Lottie's Pub in Bucktown on April 12), Scott Eastwood (son of Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood) and Melissa Sagemiller. Gelber said they should know by mid-May if the show will be picked up.
"Divergent" update: Navy Pier closed early Friday because the sci-fi movie "Divergent," which stars Shailene Woodley, was filming. The shoot involved Navy Pier's Ferris wheel, which was made to look significantly rustier to reflect the film's post-apocalyptic setting — or, as the sign alerting guests of filming explained, "Portions of Pier Park are being altered and distressed for a movie production." Speaking of "Divergent," cast member Christian Madsen dined Tuesday at Michael Jordan's Steak House.
Thanks, but no thanks: The fourth "Transformers" film, part of which is scheduled to shoot in Chicago this year, will star Mark Wahlberg, but apparently director Michael Bay had his eye on Wahlberg's "Pain & Gain" co-star first. "Michael Bay offered me Transformers, but I was unavailable due to Hercules," Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson tweeted Friday in response to a fan's question. "Then Wahlberg was offered the role." According to michaelbay.com, Nicola Peltz ("The Last Airbender") will co-star in the follow-up to 2011's "Transformers: Dark of the Moon," which also filmed in Chicago and made $1.1 billion at the world wide box office.
Heads-up: Actress Jessica Alba ("Machete") will sign copies of her book, "The Honest Life," on May 8 at Anderson's Bookshop in Naperville. … The Bears' Charles Tillman will host his second annual Celebrity Pro Bowler Tournament on June 5 at Kings Lanes, Lounge & Sports in Rosemont.
Sightings: Tim Robbins ("The Shawshank Redemption") dined Tuesday at Chicago Cut Steakhouse while in town for his appearances at DePaul with Sister Helen Prejean, who wrote the book that his 1995 film "Dead Man Walking" was based on. … Vince Vaughn ("Wedding Crashers") — who will announce Monday on "The Ellen Degeneres Show" that he and his wife are having their second child — dined with family April 21 at Lou Malnati's Pizzeria in the Gold Coast. … Singer Jimmy Buffett dined Tuesday at Sunda and took in the musical "Big Fish," for which he is a producer, at the Oriental Theatre. The Brooklyn Nets' Kris Humphries (aka Kim Kardashian's ex-husband) dined Thursday at Sunda before hanging out at Cuvee until the early hours of Friday. ... Comedian Jim Gaffigan stayed at The Wit April 19 and 20 while in town for his shows at the Chicago Theatre. … Natalie Dormer ("Game of Thrones") had dinner Friday at Nellcote while in town for the C2E2 convention at McCormick Place.

If the exact same incidents had occurred in the exact same order, and if it had happened during the watch of a conservative president, it would be a treated as a scandal. An epic one, in fact. The coverage, starting on September 12 and starting with Mr. Friedman's newspaper, would have been nonstop, ferociously negative, and the pressure put on the president and his administration would have been crushing. Jon Stewart, the moral conscience of an increasing number of journalists, wouldn't have let this story die.
Yet President Obama avoided all of that. Indeed, it was Mitt Romney who incurred the special wrath of reporters for his criticism of a statement made by the American embassy in Egypt after the building was stormed by an angry mob (a criticism, by that way, that the Obama administration agreed with a few hours after Mr. Romney made it). Most reporters—again, with a few impressive exceptions—treated the Benghazi story with nonchalance.
For some journalists, it's fairly clear as to why: they had a rooting interest in Mr. Obama winning and they carried a deep dislike, even contempt, for Governor Romney. But for many others I think the explanation is more subtle and in some respects more problematic. They appear to be completely blind to their biases and double standards. If you gave them sodium pentothal, they would say they were being objective. Self-examination, it turns out, is harder than self-justification. And of course being surrounded with people who share and reinforce your presuppositions and worldview doesn't help matters.


text: When Was Your "Stan" Moment? Hello. So we all love our idol groups and have particular ones we end up "stanning". But when did it happen? What was it that clicked in your head that made you decide to stan? Share when and how you came to stan your bias groups! Mine: Spoiler SNSD Spoiler It was 2007. I had never heard of kpop before. When my classmate showed me a cool video. It was SNSD's Into The New World. Just released days prior. It was beautiful and exciting. I was loving it. But the moment that hooked me forever was when I first saw Yoona come onto screen. She was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. She captured my heart and I decided right then to get into kpop and in turn, stan SNSD. TWICE Spoiler I followed TWICE from their days in Sixteen. But I didn't stan right away. It wasn't until later, during TWICE's Knock Knock era in early 2017, when I first saw this Cheer Up era fancam of Tzuyu. While I had liked Tzuyu during Sixteen, it was this moment when I really fell hard. I then had the motivation to learn more about TWICE and decided to stan. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - An Official Emanresu™ Thread - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Eunha Is One Of The Sexiest Girls In Kpop And No One Knows It Favorite Titles Of 2017-2018 Great B-Sides Seolhyun Is The Most Gorgeous Thing I've Ever Seen Yoona - SuperELLE - Spring 2018 - [Photos + Interview] Tzuyu Is Daebak The Other Nayoung Thread The Angel From Taiwan In Black When's SM Trainee Yiyang Debuting?

Practice Description The Hospitalist Program provides a core and essential service to Marshfield Medical Center. The scope of patients on the Hospitalist Service is broadly ranging and includes medical consultation for surgical and surgical subspecialty patients. The scope does not include Critical ICU admissions. Full-Time Inpatient Physician - The Hospitalist A full-time new associate physician hospitalist is expected to work 195 shifts annually. The duration and timing of these shifts will vary. Each physician also participates in an emergency "backup" plan for increased service load or unexpected absences. Daytime Hospital Coverage Nine total physicians covering day shifts 0700-1700. This group of physicians will round daily on their inpatients and admit in rotation with the medical education service. Duration of day shift rotation will be 9 consecutive days and will include weekends. Each 9 day rotation will start in an integrated fashion with the other daytime hospitalist services such that no more than two of the nine services start or end on the same day. Continuity of care is expected during the 7 day shifts. This model presumes an average daily census of 12-17 inpatients with approximately 2-4 new admissions or consults per day. Nighttime Hospital Coverage Four physicians covering the night shifts: Two from 1600 to midnight One from midnight to 0800 One from 1700 to 0100 Nighttime covering hospitalists will respond to cross-coverage issues and cover admissions. These three nighttime hospitalists will accept admissions in concert and on a rotating basis with the medical teaching service. Medical Education Responsibilities Hospitalist may provide coverage for Medical Education Service. Hospitalist may play integral role in inpatient medical consultative elective. Backup Coverage Scheduled backup for unanticipated staff illnesses or heavy patient census. About Marshfield Medical Center Marshfield Medical Center, the primary referral hospital for the region, is physically attached to Marshfield Clinic-Marshfield Center.

Brother Steve and I were just talking about "The Bribe". Unbelievable. I simply cannot believe this is what the Packers resorted to. The Packers sure better get info out asap as to what conditions were present that made an offer like this reasonable because to those of us not inside the circle, I don't see how this could be construed as anything other than a desperate bride. Absolutely ridiculous. The Packers may come out and mask this under the guise of future PR engagements etc but come on, that is ridiculous. Considering all that's been said, I think it may take a while for him to be a credible Packers ambassador anyway. That is clearly not what this is for. The $20 million was simply to coax him into permanent retirement so that the team can move in the direction TT wants the team to move in. I just find this development shocking. I have never heard of a team trying to bribe a player to stay retired.
One important factor here is that despite Favre's recent detruth problem if you will, the team should have known Favre well enough to know that appeasing him with money wouldn't work. As Bus Cook has already apparently said (according to Steve from Sirius radio), this offer likely won't affect Favre much and he will most likely show up in camp on Friday. Offering Favre more money under the veil of PR is like offering me more ants in my den – just not something either of us need right now.

Darn it Amrita as soon as more earrings sell I'm sending you the nail clippers. I think the whole world is going crazy just GRUBBING for MONEY. I wish you had vets like ours, they are unlike any others I've ever had...as they say, they charge the poor only a little and make it up on the rich...they're just kidding...they are EXCELLENT vets with a long, long waiting list to be a client and they have such sweet hearts.

Dear Holly, Oh No please don' t spoil Sheeba and me too. I don 't want you to spend so much for a small thing like clippers. I will buy them when I am able to.
If Sheeba finds out that her clipper came from America she will put on fancy airs, I tell you.
This afternoon she ended her self imposed 36 hr. fast. She Was was gobbling up the tasty bits and leaving the bread. So I gave her dinner to stray dogs and cats.QWhen she found out I was not going to serve her caviar and champagne, she humble ate her food like a good girl.

Dear Amrita,
I'm glad you are a lady with brains and find ways to help poor Sheeba.
It's sad that that the vets are more expensive than human doctors.
At least they are here.
We found a stray cat outside our door when Serina was here at Christmas. Brought the cat to the vet. They kept him overnight and nursed him till he died 8 o'clock next morning. For that we were charged 200 us dollars.
Well, I'd do the same over again, but I really can't afford it.
We also spent hours trying to find the cat owners; no way someone claimed responsibility...
Life is tough for the helpless.

Beginning a gig
Allow half an hour for set-up and sound check.
Turn on circuit breaker labeled "AMPS/PA" on the stage.
Whenever you turn the mixer, compressor and equalizer ON or OFF make sure that all channels, effects, FBs and masters on the mixer are muted and down, and that leads 13+14 and 15+16 in the stage-box are unplugged! If not the speakers will pop.
Once the desk, compressor and equalizer are on, plug in leads 13-16 in the stage-box
(Right now we only have one monitor - 15 or 16)
Then plug in instruments and mics.
Sound check one instrument or mic at a time first:
make the singer speak or sing like he or she would do at the concert. Press pfl on, then slowly turn the gain knob up slowly until all the green lights on the dB-meter are showing.
Then un-mute and slowly turn up the volume to rough desired level (remember all instruments and mics together will be louder).
Repeat for each...
Then make all the band play together and fine-tune and mix. You create the finished sound!
Remember the volume mustn't go above 85 dB!
Remember to work with the band and communicate with them - it is their music that you are brining out!
Adjust volume and mix if necessary, avoid feedback.
Mute masters and FB during breaks to avoid hum.
Mute and turn down everything.
The band can now unplug their gear.
Unplug 13-16 at stage box.
Turn off mixer, EQ, compressor.
Turn of circuit breaker on stage.
Clean up after yourself: Mic-stands go on the right-hand side of the stage (facing the audience), Mics and DI-boxes go in mic-box under mixer, leads go in the drawers under mixer. Drums are arranged so they can be used for a new gig. Amps are put back near the wall. Broken stuff should be labelled and put in the "broken things box".
Put cover on mixer!
Write if anything happened in the "Sound Team communication book": broken things, if the band were assholes and should be barred from performing, etc.

Re: Guide p1
not any more! now, both Warfdales can live on the stage, because we have 'Wendy' (with 1 new wedge speaker) serving as a monitor rig in the Hall.Julie wrote:Beginning a gig

Get funding
Stripe Capital provides access to fast, flexible financing for you to grow your business.
Businesses on Stripe rank access to capital as their biggest obstacle to growth. Traditional lenders aren't set up to serve internet businesses, typically requiring lengthy applications, complex collateral obligations, and fixed payment schedules. We built Stripe Capital to cut through the red tape. Our goal is to provide access to fast, flexible financing that helps online businesses invest in growth.
Get funds quickly
Eligibility is determined solely based on your history with Stripe. There's no lengthy application process, and funds typically arrive the next business day.
One flat fee
Pay one flat fee that never changes. There are no compounding interest charges, collateral obligations, or late fees.
Pay when you get paid
Repayment is fully automated and adjusts to your daily sales. Stripe deducts a fixed percentage of your sales until the total owed is repaid.
Stripe Capital helped us expand our global footprint. We used the advance to set up servers in China, India, and Japan, allowing us to reach customers all over the world. Since then, we've seen our annual revenue more than double.

Co-founder & CEO, Xirsys
Stripe Capital gave me runway to focus on building my product. I had extra resources to experiment and try new things to convert customers.
Nana Gilbert-Baffoe
Founder & CEO, Prosper202
We used Stripe Capital to scale the business by building and deploying additional MyPark machines, which started generating revenue immediately. We loved how the payback was integrated directly into our Stripe cash flows—it was effortless.
Luis Mayendia
Co-founder & CEO, MyPark
With financing from Stripe Capital, we were able to buy inventory in bulk at a 33% discount, leading to our best year of sales yet.
David Cardell
Founder & CEO, Fleximug
I used the capital to buy additional inventory and invest in online advertising. I had my best peak season ever this year, and I know Stripe Capital helped me get there.

Microsoft's newest attempt to appease the EU is to create a system in which end users can choose their browsers. (Imagine that! Choice!) This is a change from Microsoft's previous offer to remove Internet Explorer completely from Windows 7.
It was decided that Microsoft's "Hey! We'll just leave all browsers out completely!" would result in headaches for some consumers who would struggle to download any browser without being able to use Internet Explorer to do so. The new approach is to sell Windows PCs with Internet Explorer as the default browser, but to present users with a "ballot screen" which allows them to select and "easily install competing browsers from the Web." That's not all though:
In addition, (computer makers) would be able to install competing Web browsers, set those as default and disable Internet Explorer should they so wish. The Commission welcomes this proposal, and will now investigate its practical effectiveness in terms of ensuring genuine consumer choice.
There's a catch of sorts in that there aren't any specifics on how competing browsers will be selected for the "ballot", so the jury's still out on just how accommodating Microsoft is really being. [CNET]

'Tribute for Heroes' winners enjoy All-Star festivities
Multiple amputees who completed dozens of triathlons and marathons. A Paralympics gold medalist. A gender barrier-breaking pioneer.
Heroism was front and center before the All-Star Game on Tuesday night at Citi Field in New York. But for this exercise, the focus was not on baseball players, but instead on a group of 30 of our nation's bravest who were honored, and thanked, for their military service.
Major League Baseball and PEOPLE magazine announced the 30 winners of the "Tribute for Heroes" campaign, which recognizes veterans and military service members and builds on both organizations' commitment to honoring our country's heroes.
Fans nationwide cast their votes at TributeForHeroes.com, selecting 30 winners from a pool of 90 finalists.
All winners, each representing one of the 30 Major League clubs, have received first-class accommodations throughout the All-Star festivities. This includes a private tour of the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, a VIP reception on the USS Intrepid, the Red Carpet Parade and the Home Run Derby.
Honorees were also recognized during the pregame ceremony prior to the 2013 All-Star Game .
One winner will be featured in the July 22 issue of PEOPLE. The magazine will feature Brian Taylor Urruela of Tampa, Fla., a Purple Heart recipient who helped start VETSports, a non-profit organization that provides adaptive sports opportunities for returning wounded and combat veterans.
The complete list of honorees is as diverse as it is extensive. Ranging in ages from 26 to 92, these heroes have served from World War II through Afghanistan. For example, Brad Snyder of Bethesda, Md., won two gold medals, a silver medal and set a number of American records for the USA Paralympics swim team at the 2012 London Games. David Patterson of Rio Rancho, N.M., the only Hero awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, is a Native American who took part in every Marine assault in WWII as one of the Navajo Code Talkers.
Margo Parker of Tucson, Ariz., is the first woman in California to enlist in the military after Congress passed a law allowing women with children to join. Brian Hicks of Pike Road, Ala., is an amputee who completed 35 triathlons and eight marathons. And Joe Kapacziewski of Upatol, Ga., made history by becoming the first Army Airborne Ranger to return to combat after an amputation.
Along with Major League Baseball and PEOPLE, a guest panel assisted in the selection process for the 90 finalists. Comprising the panel were Gen. Peter W. Chiarelli and Gen. John M. "Jack" Keane -- both retired -- along with Major League players Justin Verlander, Nick Swisher, Barry Zito, Jonny Gomes, Brad Ziegler, Chase Headley and Craig Stammen.
The "Tribute for Heroes" campaign doesn't end with the recognition of the 30 winners. Charitable efforts will be extended to Welcome Back Veterans, which addresses the needs of veterans after they return from service.
Major League Baseball has committed more than $23 million for grants to hospitals and clinics that provide post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury treatment to veterans and their families in a public/private partnership with "Centers of Excellence" at university hospitals throughout the country.
The focus will be on 30, but the long-term effects will reach far and wide, extending beyond the All-Star Game.
What better way to pay tribute to our heroes?

RFID That Goes Where You Go
As mobile RFID systems are used more often by more workers, return on investment increases. Handheld readers enable the user to take the technology to the point of work – whether it's on the shop floor or the receiving dock.
Handheld readers are the perfect, economical choice for when it's more practical to bring the read/write device to the tagged object rather than moving objects past a fixed reader. Handheld RFID is also ideal for use in the field for asset tracking, field service applications, and use by mobile workers.
We have the right RFID handheld reader for your application and environment. Browse our selection below. Or simply contact us for more information.
