TOURISMThe attractiveness of Bosnia and Herzegovina as a prime tourist destination can be attributed to its favorable geographic position – proximity to many European capitals, the Adriatic coast, beautiful mountains and nature, and relatively mild climate. Bosnia and Herzegovina prides itself as a small universe of plurality of cultures, religions and traditions. Natural landmarks of Bosnia and Herzegovina guarantee breathtaking experience for all visitors. Stunning canyons of Rakitnica, Neretva and Krusnica offer its visitors some of the most spectacular rafting and nature. For nature lovers and bird watchers, it would be unimaginable not to visit Hutovo Blato and Bardaca, one of the largest natural bird reserves in Europe. For more active nature enthusiasts, the glacial lakes Blidinje, Prokosko, Satorsko and Boracko provide hours of opportunities to explore the untouched surroundings and depending on the season indulge in swimming, diving, fishing, and sailing.Major tourist facilities, infrastructure and transportation networks were built before 1992 and organizational capabilities excelled during the 14th Winter Olympic Games in Sarajevo in 1984. During the war from 1992 to 1995, many tourist facilities were damaged or destroyed. New construction and modernization of existing tourist facilities resulted in development of more diverse tourist offering. Tourists can enjoy in mountaineering and winter sports on one of many mountains in Bosnia and Herzegovina including the Olympic Mountains Bjelasnica, Jahorina, Igman and Trebevic. Health and spa tourism is particularly developed in Ilidza near Sarajevo, Fojnica, Kiseljak and Teslic. For religious tourism, unavoidable are visits to Medjugorje, Prusac, and Jajce.

At different points this day various people formed a line doing the "Running man" dance inside of Home for the PlayStation 3. I rallied up more people and repeatedly insisted that it was "for cancer" which led to people rampant on wearing red. This video is my experience... EDIT - Wow, featured! Thanks GT. Now I DO wish I had a capture box so I could have made this better quality :P Unfortunately, I did this on a whim and don't currently have a capture box for HDMI (nor do I want to buy composite cables since I have no use for them). If you were in this line, enjoy! P.S. If you enjoy this sort of random humor, head on over to [url]http://www.pieo.com/[/url] for some comedy sketch videos. This is my normal line of work, though game videos are certainly fun to do!

The International Space Station
The International Space Station (ISS) is one of the largest and most ambitious space projects created by Man. ISS is an orbital base for research and for discovery of new knowledge, capabilities and opportunities in Space.
The ISS is being built and assembled as a joint project between the United States, Russia, Canada, Japan and the 11 European Space Agency member countries.
Conceived and initiated in the mid-1980s, America's large-scale space station became a truly international project in 1993 through an extensive Redesign campaign that joined American, Russian, European and Japanese technologies in Human Space fields. In-orbit assembly began in 1998 with the launch of the Russian Zarya ("dawn") functional cargo block joined by NODE 1, becoming the first cornerstone of the ISS.
The ISS orbits at an altitude of approximately 340 km above Earth's surface and travels at an average speed of 27,700 km/h, completing 15 orbits per day. On completion in 2010, the station will weigh over 400 tons and cover an area the size of a football pitch. With a habitable volume in excess of 1,200 m3, it will be the most complex object ever designed to date. More than 40 flights will have been necessary to assemble its 100+ constituent parts.
Thanks to the sophisticated instruments already in use and the others in development phase, the ISS allows scientists to work in microgravity conditions, to conduct medical, physicist and biological research, to create new materials and to carry out technological trials. As a whole, the Space Station itself is a major "experiment", namely the existing evidence that human life can exist in orbital environments over prolonged periods of time. The construction of this advanced outpost among the stars demonstrates the extraordinary potential of the space sector when institutions and industries can cooperate at the highest levels.
Thales Alenia Space has been involved in the planning and construction of pressurized space modules for thirty years. Today, its industrial contribution, in quantitative terms, to the construction of the International Space Station is outstanding, and it is second only to the prime industrial contractor of the entire orbital complex, the American Boeing.
As one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world, Italy plays a fundamental role and, through Thales Alenia Space, it supplies a volume of production recognized at the international level, contributing more than 50% of the pressurized, thus habitable, volume of the whole Station.
Once completed, the gigantic orbital structure – attached to a long, horizontal beam, onto which two large groups of solar panels will be placed on each extremity, and to a vertical pylon – it will be constituted by habitable modules, some which will be used as laboratories, others as crew accommodation and still others for services and logistics; a sort of futuristic "meccano", whose spinal cord is composed of the three Nodes. The assembling of the structure is carried out through missions (over fifty) with vectors (Shuttle, Soyuz, etc.) which, launched from the Earth, transport the modules, to the correct orbit of an average altitude of 350 km.
Following the 7 successful MPLM missions started with the LEONARDO maiden flight in March 2001 ,the last two years have been very important for the continuation of the work on the Space Station and have witnessed the culmination of efforts of over 10 years of work of Thales Alenia Space. Several modules produced by the Italian-French company were launched during this period: Two MPLM missions , NODE 2 Harmony , ATV Jules Verne, and Columbus with payload EDR (European Drawer Rack), FSL (Fluid Science Laboratory) and SOLAR (external payload of research).

An ultra-Orthodox man performs a Jewish ritual called Kaparot in the Mea Shearim neighborhood of Jerusalem on Sept. 10.
In the ancient custom of Kaparot, still performed by some Jews today, a white chicken is held over a person's head as prayers are recited that symbolically transfer the person's sins accumulated through the year into the bird. The chicken is butchered in a kosher manner and either donated to charity or eaten. It's performed ahead of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement and the holiest of Jewish holidays, which begins at sundown on Sept. 13. -- European Pressphoto Agency

Instructions for Crab Cakes with Remoulade Sauce Recipe
- First, make the Remoulade: In a bowl, stir together all the ingredients until well blended. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and white pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed.
- For the crab cakes, in a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, garlic, rosemary, and paprika. Boil over medium-high heat until the cream reduced to half its original volume. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature.
- Meanwhile, in a saut� pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and red and yellow bell pepper and saut�, stirring frequently, just until glossy but not yet browned. Transfer the vegetables to a plate and leave to cool to room temperature.
- Preheat the oven to 375�F.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, crab, jalape�o, basil, parsley, tarragon, 1 cup of the panko, salt, white pepper, reduced cream, and saut�ed vegetables. Carefully mix until well blended.
- Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions, each about 3 ounces, shaping them into round, slightly flattened cakes each about 3 inches in diameter by 1/2 inch thick. Spread the remaining panko on a dinner plate and turn the crab cakes in them to coat them generously.
- In an ovenproof saut� pan, heat 1/4 cup of the clarified butter over medium-high heat. Place 6 crab cakes in the pan and pan-fry until their undersides are golden, 2 to 3 minutes. With a spatula, carefully turn the cakes over. Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 2 minutes more. Remove the cakes from the pan and repeat the process with the remaining butter and crab cakes. Serve immediately with Remoulade Sauce.
For the best consistency and flavor, look in seafood stores or supermarket seafood departments for freshly cooked crabmeat labeled "lump," which may also sometimes be found as backfin or jumbo crabmeat. It comes from the crab�s central body cavity and provides the largest pieces with the best texture for this recipe. Remoulade is France�s well-seasoned version of a classic tartar sauce.

Sorry to hear you've been having such a hard time of late - it's really refreshing to hear your positive attitude towards it all.
I have no advice I'm afraid, mainly because I'm pretty rubbish & if anything bad happens I just want to moan (which is why I'm so envious that you're making yourself see the positive sides to it all).. I wish you the best of luck though, in making all these difficult decisions. I have faith you'll work it all out :)

About this time last year I went through a similar stage in my life and at the time it seemed like everything I'd worked for had been for nothing and that I had no future - it took my what felt like forever to find my feet again but I got there and I'm much stronger & happier now because of it.

"In the last year, however, Skarre's self-confidence had evaporated somewhat, and Harry had begun to think it was not impossible that they would make a decent policeman out of him after all."2) Wander the immense length of Denver International Airport's Terminal B, with its neon, its bi-level concourse, its smoking lounge, its massage chairs, and compare this to Norman Y. Mineta San José International Airport, with its fast check-in and its gates with ground-level glass doors giving directly onto the runways. The terminals are narrow and parked smack amid runways and mountains, a small reminder of what aviation must have been like before code-sharing and hubs.

"North America leads, by a wide margin, in the worldwide statistics of murder," Škvorecký writes in a short introduction, "but North Americans have never experienced total crime. In Europe and Asia, millions of people fell victim to it, many millions in large countries, but it is not only the body that is murdered by this mega-assassin, it is the soul: the character of the community called a nation. However, one can hardly write a murder mystery about the assassination of souls. That's why the Edenvale [College] story has all the paraphernalia of the guilty vicarage, but the Prague sequence of events lacks them entirely. It characters, as the narrator says, are not in a detective story written for the entertainment of the reader, but in a very serious novel."Lest a reader be tempted to think that a put-down of the detective story, consider that Škvorecký devoted an entire book of fiction, Sins for Father Knox, to affectionate engagement with detective stories, absurdity and all.

"Saga heroes occupy a social space on the edges of society. The heroes of three of the sagas, The Saga of Grettir the Strong, Gisli Sursson's Saga and The Saga of Hord and the People of Holm, are in fact outlaws. Gunnar Hamundarson of Hlidarendi in Njal's Saga is also technically a criminal when he is killed. Most of the saga heroes are just barely on one side of the other of the law, but it also seems to be true that the law itself is being tested along with the finest men."Substitute shorter American names for the long Nordic ones, and Raymond Chandler could have written that.

"I, too, received an honorary degree. For my detective stories, I guess. Most professors suffer from the secret vice of reading such stuff. even if in their courses they lecture on Elizabethan poetry and Shakespeare. But the bard, too, in a sense, wrote crime stories. Dickens, then? Well, Boz was the author of several thrillers. Mark Twain? What about Pudd'nhead Wilson, not to mention Tom Sawyer, Detective? Faulkner? Who concocted Knight's Gambit and Intruder in the Dust? For a while it seemed to me that everybody in English and American literature wrote crime fiction, except perhaps Victorian female novelists."Longtime Detectives Beyond Bordersniks may remember my posts about Shakespeare and other proto-detectives. My own list goes back beyond Nordic sagas all the way to Gilgamesh. But then, perhaps Škvorecký's does, too. I still have about fifty pages left in the book.

"I asked his permission and sat down beside him. Then I looked into his book and was able to read the page heading: NORDIC SAGAS. ... Beside Freddie, on the bench, I saw a paperback with a loudly coloured jacket: Dashiell Hammett, The Continental Op. ...
"`Any connection?'
"`I think there is,' said Freddie with some enthusiasm. `I think that the Old Nordic sagas were the source for Dashiell Hammett's style, and his inspiration in general.'
"`Really? Usually it's assumed that he was influenced by the harsh realities of American big cities, and by Hemingway.'
"`I'm not saying he wasn't,' said Freddie, as if he were already defending his M.A. thesis. But his main inspiration came from the Nordic sagas.' ...
"I spent the next half hour on that bench, and Freddie, quoting from Song of Eric the Red and from the Hammett stories featuring a detective called Continental Op, demonstrated how identical were the respective poker-faced killers of those works, and how the authors presented their bloody brutalities with equal lack of comment or show of emotion."Why do I enjoy that so much? Because Arnaldur Indriðason also cited the sagas as an influence on his own laconic prose style, and because I've posted about crime-fiction-like features in Njal's Saga, commonly considered the greatest of the genre. It seems that Škvorecký was on to something.

"It was the Depression," Richards wrote in an essay for Crimespree Magazine. "Money was scarce and jobs difficult to come by. If you had a job, yet the job itself was imperfect, you wouldn't just chuck it and get a new one, as we would in the 21st century. Jobs were precious, something to hold on to. You would do whatever you could – whatever you had to do – to make it work out, even if that meant doing the boss's job for him when he wasn't looking."

"When someone as grand and profitable as Oliphant Kenward Knapp was suddenly taken out of the business scene, you had to expect a bloody big rush to grab his domain, bloody big meaning not just bloody big, but big and very bloody. Harpur was looking at what had probably been a couple of really inspired enthusiasts in the takeover rush. Both were on their backs. Both, admittedly, showed only minor blood loss, narrowly confined to the heart area. Both were eyes wide, mouth wide and for ever gone from the stampede."

"Grouse's Frankenstein didn't know a word of English, but having heard `No' twice, he made a sudden upward thrust. The bayonet went through skin, tongue, and the palatine and cranial cavities as if piercing a loaf of white bread. The left parietal bone finally stopped it. The hall supervisor hopped, his eyeballs bulged out, broken nerve connections lost control, sphincters yielded. Urine and excrement gushed freely, the body jerked convulsively, and life fled away in a whirlwind of contradictory impulses."Read the first chapter of Havana World Series free at Latour's Web site.

"It was not difficult to find Pierre Brassel. He was, so to speak, on display. The Dutch have a peculiar habit of never closing curtains, except sometimes, bedroom curtains. Tourists make it a point to walk the streets of Dutch cities, peeking into rooms as they pass by. Nobody takes offense. On the contrary, the Dutch take great pride in their interiors."(Jan Vermeer, Street in Delft, Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam)
"The place was pleasantly crowded.Oh, and this:
"Farmers came from the outlying areas around the village. Civil servants and businesspeople came from the bedroom community. Shopkeepers came from the small town. All had responded to the invitation."
"Then he thought cynically that his path, at times, seemed to be literally strewn with beautiful blonde women. But of course, there were a lot of beautiful blonde women in Holland, and a lot of them looked alike."© Peter Rozovsky 2009

"To form any sort of gang, or even a `group of guys,' is not all that common in this country. The Dutch criminal is by nature a pure individualist. He doesn't form groups; at most he'll work with a single partner,"to which his occasionally impetuous but here thoughtful colleague, Vledder, replies:
"You know ... when NATO conducts exercises, the story is the Dutch army always gets the lowest ratings in unit maneuvers, but the Dutch soldier is always rated first in guerrilla warfare. Perhaps with the inspired leadership of Pierre Brassel, the so-called gang managed to overcome their natural aversion to cooperation. Who knows what he promised them."That's a nice, low-key piece of observation, off-beat, yet pertinent to the investigation at hand. DeKok's rumpled appearance recall Columbo, but his compassion and sharp, wry observations may remind readers of Baantjer's late countryman Janwillem van de Wetering.

"Hi, I'm Tiffany? I love your movies. Tommy said I could be in the one you're gonna do about him? Only I guess you won't do it now."Odds are you've read similar snippets of dialogue in which a character, usually female, ends her statements with a rising intonation that makes questions of them. Usually the author will have the narrator remark on this. But Leonard, avoiding any such commentary, let me hear that voice. And I hear it vividly.

"[Montalbano] himself had reacted the way he did, nearly suffering a stroke. Whereas Mimi had turned pale, yes, but didn't really seem too upset. Self-control? Lack of sensitivity? No, the reason was clearly much simply: the difference in age. He was fifty and Mimi was thirty. Augello was already prepared for the year 2000, whereas he would never be. Nothing more. Augello naturally knew that he was entering an era of pitiless crimes committed by anonymous people, who had Internet addresses or sites or whatever they're called, but never a face, a pair of eyes, an expression. No, he was too old by now."There's a fair bit of understanding, insight and resignation there, I'd say. That paragraph is the early leader in the race for my favorite piece of reading of 2009, or maybe even my favorite since I started this crime-fiction thing.

The theme of the 2013 forum will be "The Future of Growth - Economic Values and the Media." The three-day international congress will once again feature more than 50 workshops and podium discussions. In light of the huge challenges facing the world economy, concepts such as an energy turnaround, green economies, social justice and environmental responsibility are driving the debate about the economic future.
The media play a significant role within that context. On the one hand they are to deliver information and knowledge to broadly educate and sensitize the general public. On the other hand, they are expected to be watchdogs, spotlighting problems and holding those responsible accountable for their actions. By bringing together experts from politics, business, finance, culture, academia, civil society and the media, the Deutsche Welle Global Media Forum provides a unique, interdisciplinary platform for dialogue.
The 2013 conference will kick-off with a special ceremony to mark the 60th anniversary of Germany's international broadcaster. Deutsche Welle first went on air on May 3, 1953.
More information about the conference including registration information may be found on the event website.

"I swear this rain will be the end of me one day." The man hissed out from underneath his flatcap. He was fumbling with his lighter, trying to get the blasted thing to work. He sighed, gave up, and looked around to make sure no-one was paying too much attention to him, stuck the cigarette in his mouth and breathing a small word out around it "Ignis," and the tip of the cigarette light up. His face light up with a pale orange glow as he inhaled. As the smoke drifted lazily from his nose, he looked across the haze drenched street in front of him. You could barely make out the building on the other side of the street. It was a small warehouse, the vinyl sign outside the door leading in was a simple white with red block letters. The Thirteenth Circle.
"Not very discreet." He rolled up the sleeves on his white button up, his arms pale, as if he had been stuck in a basement for the past six months. He reached up and scratched at his beard. The kids on the streets earlier said he looked like a Lumberjack. It wasn't that long, was it? Anyhow. He checked his sides, and started across the street. His feet making short work of the road. His boots made soft plopping sounds as he went across the glistening asphalt. The beaten and torn jeans, looked like designer jeans, but were in fact just heavily worn and old. His favorite pair of course. Plenty of tears, burn marks, and stains. Upon reaching the door, he looked back up to the sign, and in small black letters, small enough that you have to be at the door to read, it read Accorded Neutral Territory. He took a deep breath, straightened his shirt and rapped three short knocks on the door. The door opened up a with a creak, a musky scent forced itself out from the inside. A very short piece of wood, emblazoned with runes in a language he didn't know, blazed into it. "Name." The voice grunted from behind the door. He shook his head and rolled his eyes, "Al." The voice grunted back from the other side of the door, "Whole name, or I can't let you in." A wizard doesn't just give out his whole name. A lot of nasty creatures can do bad things with your entire name.
He shook his head, this was neutral ground. "Ugh.. Albert Rennold." He never said anything about his middle names. The door creaked open and Al walked in, the door snapping shut behind him. The entire inside of the building was a study in dispersing magical energies. Nothing was evenly sized, and everything was placed in odd numbers, focusing around 13. There were no electric lights, everything was lit by candle. They picked up from a design in Chicago, a pub called McAnally's. The musky smell that had forced itself upon him earlier was in full force now. It was a mixture of sweat and grime, with the occasional hint of pot. He snarled his nose up and went down to the bar and sat and waited for the bartender, nervously tapping a ringed finger. The small silver ring, lined with black stones, clanked against the stainless steel bar top. He hated being out in the open without his staff and jacket. His contact should be arriving any second now.

The Aggies broke a four-game losing skid in improving to 15-5 overall and 6-4 in Western Athletic Conference, while the Vandals fell to 8-12 overall and 4-6 in WAC play, continuing their win-loss pattern of its last four games, but losing six of its last eight games. Thursday was USU's fourth-straight win over Idaho and first at Moscow in the last three tries, as the Aggies now lead the all-time series 37-14.
Shaw's 27 points topped his career-high for the second-straight game and just missed his eighth double-double of the season with nine rebounds. Butterfield posted his third-straight double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds, while dishing out a game-high tying four assists. Davis tallied double-digits for the first time in his last six games, and his fifth time this season.
Idaho had four players in double-figures, led by 14 each by Connor Hill and Stephen Madison while Robert Harris netted 13 points and Kyle Barone posted 11 points, 5.7 below his season average of 16.7 that ranked second in the WAC entering Thursday.
USU shot 59.6 percent (28-of-47) from the field, netting 6-of-13 (46.2 percent) behind the arc and 15-of-19 (78.9 percent) at the free throw line. Idaho made 25-of-47 (53.2 percent) of its field goals, netting 10-of-19 (52.6 percent) from three-point range and 7-of-13 (53.8 percent) at the charity stripe.
The Aggies also had a 27-16 rebounding advantage, as its +11 rebounding advantage was its second-straight double-digit rebounding advantage and 11th of the season. Idaho's 16 rebounds were the fewest by an Aggie opponent this season, bettering the previous low of 17 by Denver on Jan. 19, and the fewest by a USU opponent since 13 by Hawai'i on Dec. 29, 2010.
Utah State led from start-to-finish, jumping out to an 11-3 lead on a Butterfield trey at the 15:59 mark. The Aggie advantage swelled to 18-3 with 13:34 on the clock after a Shaw layup. Idaho went on a 15-2 run to pull within 20-18 with 7:44 to go after a layup by Barone. USU stretched its lead to 31-25 at haltime after a three-pointer by junior guard/forward Marvin Jean as the shot clock buzzer went off with five seconds left in the half.
Idaho pulled within 46-44 at the 10:55 mark after a three-pointer by Mansa Habeeb, but USU pulled away with a 20-5 run, started by back-to-back treys from junior guard TeNale Roland. The streak was capped by another three-pointer, this one from sophomore forward Ben Clifford to lead 66-49 with 3:27 and the Aggies cruised to their 15th win of the season.
USU continues its two-game road weekend at Seattle on Saturday, Feb. 2 at 8 p.m. (MT)

September 11, 20119/11 Left Permanent Scars on the American Psyche SUNDAY, Sept. 11 (HealthDay News) -- Seven decades and several wars have past, but the bombing of Pearl Harbor still packs a psychological punch for many Americans. Enduring as a kind of national tipping point, it serves as the moment when a stunned young country shed a provincial sense of isolation and strode onto the world stage with the now-iconic can-do bravado of the "Greatest Generation." College Students Not Getting Enough Z's SATURDAY, Sept. 10 (HealthDay News) -- Many U.S. college students aren't getting the recommended seven to eight hours of sleep per night, a problem that could affect their ability to learn, a new survey says. |

Help us ban the sale and trade of shark fins in New York.
Sharks often act as apex predators and as such they are important for controlling the population sizes and behaviors of the species they feed upon. Research on the East Coast has shown that in certain areas where sharks have been over-fished, populations of rays have blossomed leading to the collapse of shellfish fisheries, because the rays feed on the shellfish. Healthy ecosystems need to be in balance and this requires maintenance of all the levels of the food web. Instead of fearing them, we should respect them. — Dovi Kacev, a doctoral student in ecology at SDSU-UC-Davis, who is carrying out research on sharks in San Diego and Baja California.
In recent decades, overfishing and shark finning which has increased over the past decade due to the increasing demand for shark fins (for shark fin soup) have decimated populations—hundreds of millions of sharks die each year. Sharks can take 25 years to reach sexual maturity, have few young, and cannot withstand this fishing pressure. Sharks are caught in nets or on longlines, brought aboard a fishing vessel, and their fins are cut off their bodies while they're still alive. Then the sharks are thrown back in the water, but without their fins they can't swim, so they sink and drown. According to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Shark Specialist Group, 1/3 of all shark and ray species are now threatened with extinction. "Despite mounting threats, sharks remain virtually unprotected on the high seas," says Sonja Fordham, Deputy Chair of the IUCN Shark Specialist Group and Policy Director for the Shark Alliance. "The vulnerability and lengthy migrations of most open ocean sharks mean they need coordinated, international conservation plans. Our report documents serious overfishing of these species, in national and international waters, and demonstrates a clear need for immediate action on a global scale." Sharks are literally being eaten into extinction during our lifetimes.
Shark fin soup first became popular in China during the 10th century due to a belief in its medicinal value. But that has subsequently been exposed as nothing more than a myth. Since they are predators at the top of the food chain, sharks ingest a good deal of harmful pollutants, including extremely toxic substances like mercury, which build up in their body tissue. A study conducted in 2001 by the Thailand Institute of Scientific and Technological Research found that 70% of shark fin dishes sampled contained extremely high levels of this hazardous element.
We know this may be hard to digest, but sharks don't eat people. Sharks take a bite because humans are mistaken for prey. Surfers paddling back to shore can sometimes resemble a seal to a shark. But even these so-called attacks are incredibly rare: You have a much higher chance of dying by being struck by lighting than by being bitten by a shark.
A swell of opposition against shark fin soup -- a traditional but increasingly controversial Chinese dish -- has gained backing from around the world. Bill AB 376 passed which makes the possession, sale and distribution of shark fins illegal in California. The luxury Shangri-La hotel chain said it would ban shark fin from all of its 72 hotels, most of which are in Asia. In Singapore, supermarket chains FairPrice and Carrefour said they would halt the sale of shark fin in outlets in the city-state. Campaigns have been launched in Hong Kong to educate children about the horrors of shark-finning and the risks it poses to the ecology.
Speak up and let the NY legislators know we need to exercise similar leadership and draft similar legislation, banning shark fins to stop an unsustainable, often illegal and inhumane world practice with far reaching ramifications. This isn't a cultural issue - it is a world issue. In doing so, you will be giving sharks a much needed chance to recover, while protecting our oceans, and all who depend upon them.
Thank You,
Shark Angels

Axel is the perfect heavy metal rock name, thanks to Guns N' Roses' Axl Rose (born William). Axel is a popular Scandinavian form of the Biblical Absalom, who was a son of King David, and is the name of the title character of William Faulkner's Absalom, Absalom.
Growing in popularity, along with a lot of other names featuring the powerful letter 'x', Axel is now at Number 160. It entered the popularity list in 1989, one year after the release of one of Guns N' Roses biggest hits. It is very popular in Scandinavia (as high as Number 15 in Sweden), Germany and France.
Axel was chosen by Will Ferrell for his third son, and also by Rob McElhenney and Kaitlin Olson for their boys, and it's the middle name of Tiger Woods' boy Charlie. Axel Foley was the character played by Eddie Murphy in the "Beverly Hills Cop" movies and, going further back, was the name of an important character in Jules Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth.

The Speaker resumed at two o'clock p. m.
On the motion of Mr. ZOLLERS, Mr. Minor obtained leave of absence on account of present illness.
The SPEAKER announced the consideration of the
The jurors' fee bill [S. 58] coming up, was read the second time and referred to the Committee on Fees and Salaries.
The joint resolution [S. 4] in relation to the completion of the harbor at Michigan City, was read the second time.
Mr. WILE asked for a suspension of the constitution restriction, which was agreed to-- yeas 78, nays 0,--whereupon the joint resolution was ordered to the third and last reading, read the third time and passed the House of Representatives--yeas 80, nays 0.
The joint resolution relative to the repair losses by the officers and men of Battery F., the bark Torrent, in the Pacific waters, [S. 3] was passed the second reading.
Mr. Mason's County Surveyors' bill [H. 69] coming up. (with a committee amendment reducing the pay to three dollars a day) read the second time.
Mr. CUNNINGHAM proposed to amend by making the official tenure two years instead of four.
Mr. COFFROTH moved to recommit the bill and amendment with instructions to report on the particular changes proposed in the existing law.
Mr. RATLIFF proposed to amend the motion by instructing the committee to strike section two of the bill the clause for supplying instruments for taking angles, independent of the magnetic needle. Such an instrument would cost the county over two hundred dollars. Being a surveyor himself, he furnished a plain and lucid explanation why such instuments were not needed. As to section five of the bill, it requires that fees of surveyor shall be placed upon the tax duplicates, and that Treasurers shall receive the same per cent, for the collection of such fees, as he receives for the collection of taxes. This, he said, would impose upon the owner of land, additional expenses for which there is no just cause. Section six increases the pay of Surveyors beyond what in justice should be allowed them. His experience of about ten years had proven that a Surveyor, under the present law, could earn from five to ten dollars per day, and he could see no reason for authorizing an additional charge for getting up a plat Section fourteen authorized the paying of five dollars a day for surveying roads. He regarded that increase as uncalled for, and announced that he should oppose the bill at every step.
Mr. COFFROTH now withdrew his motion, and moved that the bill be indefinitely postponed.
Mr. MASON showed the necessity of the bill, for the remedy of defects in the existing law. He had introduced the bill, by the vice of a gentleman thoroughly acquainted with the imperfections of the present law, of which, he was satisfied, a great deal of litigation had grown. Section two, providing for page: 205[View Page 205] furnishing superior instruments to surveyors,he thought a salutary provision, for the reason that surveyors generally would supply themselves with interior, and in many instances, defective instruments as a matter of economy, their use resulting in inaccurate surveys. The section was incorporated to provide against such inaccuracies and prevent litigation. The other sections, increasing the pay of Surveyors, and providing for collection on the duplicates, were to secure proper remuneration simply, and to protect the land owner against exorbitant charges.
The bill was indefinitely postponed.
Mr. Osborn's bill, [H. R. 65] to amend section fifteen of the manufacturers and miners act of May 20, 1852, was read the second time and ordered to the engrossment.
The SPEAKER laid before the House a ige from the Governor, transmitting papers proposing for the location of the Agricultural College, provided for by act of Congress, by citizens of the county of Tippecanoe. [See by proceedings pages 198 and 199.]
It was referred to the Committee on Agriculture and Education.
Mr. Bobo's Common Pleas Judges salary bill [H.R. 9] coming up, and being read the second time--
Mr. NEFF moved that it be indefinitely postponed
Mr. BOBO took the floor in a plea for the increase of the compensation of the Judges of Common Pleas. The bill proposed to make it $2,000--equal to that of the Judges of the Circuit Court. The business of the Common Pleas Judge was more intricate and laborious than the business of the Circuit Judge. He knew there were other bills pending for increasing the pay of Supreme and Common Pleas Judges, but he did not know what would would be their fate. He plead therefore for the passage of this bill.
Mr. MINER said that there is undoubtedly . a pressing need for legislation for the relief of our judiciary. The Governor has recommended in his message such legislation, and pronounced the judiciary of the State the most poorly paid class of public servants in the No good lawyer, it is well known, who consents to taking a seat on the bench, does without a great sacrifice. He thought it unfair and ungenerous to invite to the bench the best legal talent of the State, for the performance of duties not only laborious but of most sacred character, and refuse to offer remuneration. The bill proposes to increase the salaries of Judges from one thousand five hundred to two thousand dollars. The latter amount he thought entirely too small, considering the importance of the service required, and the laborious character of duties of the position. He thought it proper enough to enconomize, but unjust to begin by denying remunerative salaries to the Judiciary. He could see no reason for discriminating in favor of the Circuit Judges, who receive two thousand dollars per year; for it is an incontrovertible fact that Common Pleas Judges sit, on an average, as many days as do the Circuit Judges, and do as much hard labor. As the law now stands, a Common Pleas Judge at the close of his term, has nothing laid up. His practice is gone, his salary has been barely enough to support his family, and we know it will not do more, and he is really worse off than when he entered upon the duties of the position. It is a downright injustice to ask the Judges of our courts to work for their bread and meat, and he believed the members would so regard it.
Mr. McFADIN said that while he was on the bench from 1856 to 1860, the salary was but eight hundred dollars per year. To be sure, there have been great changes in value since then, but not so much as would induce him, from a knowledge of the fact that on eight hundred dollars per year then, he got along very well, to believe that a Judge wag not well enough paid now at one thousand five hundred dollars per year. He was satisfied he said, that there was a disposition of extravagance now-a-days that needed watching and curbing, and it had cropped out somewhat in this bill. His experience is, he said, that judges do not do work enough now for the pay they get, and he was opposed to the increase of their salaries. He was rather in favor of a law fixing the time of day for courts to open and adjourn. He was opposed to increasing their pay now one thousand five hundred dollars when money is scarce and times hard, lie would have the judges earn their money.
Mr. UNDERWOOD wished to remind the member from Cass (Mr. McFadin) that ten years ago, civil cases in Common Pleas Courts were limited to one thousand dollars, making the labors much less, and in addition to that, Common Pleas Judges were not, as now debarred from practicing in other courts. He could see no reason why the salary of Common Pleas Judges should not be made equal to that of Circuit Judges.
Mr. NEFF said that it had been but a short time since when a cry of this character--of un-renmnerative pay--we heard and was increased the salary of Common Pleas Judges from one thousand dollars to one thousand five hundred dollars. This bill proposes to add another five hundred dollars to the salary--an objectionable feature--but also to provide for the payment of said salary out of the treasury of the State in place of the county treasuries, as now provided. He did not believe that the bench would go begging for talent at the present salary, one thousand five hundred dollars page: 206[View Page 206] per year. He was reminded, he said, at this point, of a fact, that at the last election in his District, there were plenty of lawyers of ability who were not only willing to take the place of Common Pleas Judge, but anxious to do so. Good men, lawyers, in his county--were willing now to surrender their practice for the Common Pleas Judgeship. Leading lawyers of this State had presided in the Courts for one thousand dollars a year since he had been a practicing lawyer, and now it was proposed to make the pay of the Judges of Common Pleas two thousand dollars a year--which would be taking fifteen thousand dollars annually out of the State Treasury. He opposed the bill.
Mr. JOHNSON of Parke, while he should not vote for the bill in its present shape, answered objections to the proposed increase of compensation. He liked some features of the bill, one of which was, the proposition to pay a remunerative salary for the services of Common Please Judges. He thought we could not expect to command the best talent for the bench, without paying a fair salary. He objected to the provision for paying the salary out of the State Treasury, and thought the bill should be so amended as to continue the practice of paying the Judges out of the County Treasuries. He moved, therefore, to recommit the bill to the committee from which it came. [There was no second.]
Mr. COFFROTH demanded the special order--it being eleven o'clock.
On motion of Mr. PIERCE of Vigo, the bill was made the special order for Tuesday, three o'clock.
The SPEAKER announced the consideration of the committees "gold basis" bill (H. R. 58)--the vote rejecting it having been reconsidered--the question was on its final passage, whereupon the main question had been ordered.
Mr. VATER made the point of order, that it was not competent for the House to reconsider a vote rejecting a bill.
The SPEAKER ruled that it is competent for the House to reconsider such a vote--the bill being still in possession of the House and the motion to reconsider having been made within two days.
Mr. VATER appealed from the decision of the Chair, in writing--because the motion to reconsider was not in order, it being against the rules of the House.
Mr. COFFROTH asked unanimous consent that the appeal of the gentlemen from Marion be printed as a favor for the guidance of members taking appeals. He also asked, ineffectually, for unanimous consent to modify the bill so as to include personal property in gold basis appraisement for 1869.
Mr. VATER withdrew his appeal; and the question recurred on the passage of the bill.
Mr. ZOLLARS moved to reconsider the vote of yesterday ordering the main question.
The motion to reconsider was rejected--affirmative 36, negative 40.
Mr. COFFROTH demanded a call of the House; which being ordered and taken, discovered eighty-seven members present, and answering to their names.
Mr. VATER desired to lay the subject< the table.
Mr. COFFROTH stated the order, that tin motion to lay on the table can not be entertained, after the main question has been ordered.
After further debate on the point of order--
The SPEAKER ruled against the motion to lay on the table, and directed the clerk to take the vote on the passage of the bill.
Mr. COFFROTH suggesting that the House is still proceeding in the matter of the call of House--
The SPEAKER directed the Clerk to call the roll to determine the absentees.
Mr. JOHNSON of Parke, moved ineffectually, to dispense with further proceedings under the call.
The roll call determined that Mr. Buskirk and Mr. Stewart of Rush, are absent without leave; and the Doorkeeper was directed to bring them to the bar.
Subsequently, the question being raised that a call of the House cannot be entertained under the force of the previous question--
The SPEAKER ruled accordingly, and again directed the vote on the passage of the bill.
The voted resulted yeas 48, nays 39--as follows:
YEAS--Messrs. Addison, Admire, Baker, Bates Bo bo, Bntton, Breekmridge, Calvert, Carnahan, Cave, Chapman, Coffroth, Cotton,Cox, Cunningham, Dittemore, Fuller, Furnas, Green, Hutchings, Hyatt, Johnston of Montgomery, Lawler, Logan, McBride, McDonald, McFadin, McGregor, Miller, Miles, Mock, Montgomery, Neff, Odell, Palmer Peelle, Pierce of Vigo, Shoaff, Shoemaker, Sleeth, Smith, Tebbs, Vater, Welborn, Wile, Williams of Knox, Zenor and Zollars--48.
NAYS--Messrs. Barnett, Beeler, Bowen, Chittenden, Davidson, Dunn, Fairchild, Field of Lagrange, Gilham, Gordon, Hall, Higbee, Higgins, Hutson, Johnson of Parke, Johnson of St. Joseph, Jump, Kercheval, Mason, Millikin, Mitchell, Osborn, Overmyer, Pierce of Porter, Ratliff, Sabin, Skidmore, Stephenson, Stewart of Ohio, Sunman, Tabor, Underwood, Vardeman, Wildman, Williams of Hamilton, Williams of St. Joseph, Williams of Union, Wilson and Mr. Speaker--39.
Pending the roll call--
Mr. BAKER explaining his vote said: He was one of those who believe that gold is the only true standard of value. It is the standard adopted by the government in its dealing with other nations, and in measuring foreign page: 207[View Page 207] coin. Because it is the only true standard of value--he voted "aye."
Mr. MITCHELL repeated what he said in voting before, that, believing the bill to be a stab at the currency of the country, which the State of Indiana and the well wishers of the government generally could illy afford to do, he voted "no."
Mr. STEWART of Rush, responded in the affirmative, when his name was called; but, objection being made, he was denied the record of his vote under the rule that he was not within the bar when the question was put.
So the bill failed for want of the constitutional majority of 51.
It goes on the Speaker's table for another vote in the future considerations of the orders of the day.
Mr. PIERCE of Vigo's, motion to print five hundred copies of the report of the Trustees of the Wabash and Erie Canal was modified so as to make the order to print three hundred copies--the Senate having ordered two hundred copies.
And then--
The House adjourned till to-morrow morning at nine o'clock

Their staff was very helpful, we had the hot shower go out (fuse popped) and they fixed it immediately. The breakfast was very good and the private rooms had private bathrooms and were cleaned daily. TV, refrigerator, nice double bed and airconditioning all included. Close to the beach but located a few minute walk from the town center. Very quiet and no real fun atmosphere but great for couples (private is a different location then the dorms) and the dorms did have a good party atmosphere.

Location & Hostel are good. The rooms in the 1st floor are nice and good value. The rooms on ground level can be noisy - as breakfast and common area are situated just in front of the ground level rooms. So it is recommended to ask for a room on first floor. The only drawback in the hostel: dhe kitchen is very small, not very clean and poorly equipped. It is ok to cook up some pasta, but if you really want to cook often, maybe consider another hostel. Supermarkets are in 10 mins walking distance

Che Legarto SUITES (not Che Legarto) was a well presented hostel. I particularly loved the fact that all the doors required swipe card access to enter. The location was ok..about a 7 min walk to centre of town. I had a disappointing stay because their wifi did not work the entire 3 nights that we were there...the main issue was that the girl that worked in the mornings was not very helpful...didn't ever apologise for the lack of internet. The hostel has potential to be great though.

Why does the 4.2 Rest Proxy include id of 0 in buildUrl ?
Why does the 4.2 Rest Proxy include id of 0 in buildUrl ?
4.2 made a change in Ext.data.proxy.Rest to include id 0 in buildUrl (see isValidId). Why was this change made? As a phantom record has id 0, then a record.save() will post with a url ending in '/0'. I don't think that is the normal REST convention, but rather the id should no go on the end. Does someone have more info on why this was changed in such a way?

Don't know why it was changed, but per a note on the buildURL() method in the Rest proxy docs, you can set useNull : true on your Model's ID property to prevent this from happening.

Sure thing. I actually just ran across the same thing last night, so I was glad that @psheldon pointed out the fix

Jenna Bobbitt has always been very competitive. When she was young, her brother Michael played baseball. "I wanted to play the baseball too, just like my brother," Jenna said. "I was lucky because my parents encouraged me."
She played a season of softball at NYSA, but the game was not competitive enough to suit her. The following season she played for the Navarre Hurricanes, a travel baseball team. "I was the only girl on the team, but no one seemed to mind." Bobbitt pitched and played the outfield.
The summer before she entered high school, Bobbitt was invited to play with the varsity softball team for one summer league game. In her first at bat, Bobbitt hit a home run. Coach Scott Murphy immediately took notice.

Here's the think, I want to start a Group RP but my Muse hesitate and I would like to know what would be wanted as far as genre and setting go. I have a few snippet of ideas and settings but nothing concrete, and was wondering if any of you fine people would be willing to shape something fun with me out of our fleeting ideas. So here goes mine:
Pre British or British India
Good is not born, but created, and an angel is thus made through various trial that put his or her immortal mind as well as spirit through Hell and back in a series of Monasteries. Everyone start in the deepest pit of Hell as a demon when they die and make their way up from there.
A Rift have been opened between two world, and magic form one is slowly impregnating the other with fantastical being. Will the new trade routes be a gift or a curse?
Viking Life
So that's what popped over my head thus far, is anyone inspired by any of my prompts?
