My person won't stop reading these. I try to rub my face on them while she's reading, but she still keeps reading! Rude! The only possible solution is to get rid of them. All of them. They are FREE. In fact, I will give you THREE FREE chicken flavored treats if you take them.
Plz take away this dog. it has come in to myy home and i dont now ware it came frum.THIS IS WHAT I THINK OF IT!!!
best kibbles, CATSA
I found these cords under the lazy boy chair at my house. They look great to chew, but I'm 18 and don't have teeth anymore. Maybe you left these here when you were playing with the grandcats? Let me know or I will probably just gum them for awhile.
I know I left it here somewhere... I made a poop...I went to take a nap...went back to take another poop...and it's gone!!! If you have seen it...please reply to this post...this is really bothering me. ~Gimpy the Handi-Cap Cat
This appears in my kitchen every weekend. It smells pretty darn good. I can't be greedy. Who wants to come over and help me knock it off the counter and drag it behind the sofa?
Will share 50/50, but I prefer breast meat.
The dumb dog keeps eating the poop from my litter box. I know we're the smarter species and all, but really? Does anyone else think this is disgusting?
Beautiful pink condo for sale with mountain views. Brand new construction. The windows are spacious and the entire inside is spacious.
Neutered Bengal mix, 2, seeking someone to keep him company. My usually adoring mom has been "really, really busy with work" and it feels like I never see her now. I'm really laid back but also super chill. I like people in general, most cats, and some dogs. I'm not super-picky. No gender or breed preference. Would like someone close to my age to help me hunt bugs, do some 'nip and indulge in rasslin'. (I live with an older tortie and she has no interest in anything but napping and eating.) I'm also active on Facebook. Hit me up!
My human has been wearing these socks for 3 days. She will probably be taking them off pretty soon and I'm sure they will smell perfect. I'm not into socks, but would be willing to trade them for 3 ping pong balls (NEW ONLY).

Van der Linden strikes back
Oct 03, 2007
By Mike Collier
ASTONISHED: Van der Linden stands by his original statement
STRASBOURG - Rene van der Linden, president of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) has responded to claims that he spread "erroneous information" on his recent visit to Estonia.
Speaker of the Estonian parliament Ene Ergma had sent a letter to van der Linden refuting several of assertions concerning the status of the Russian-speaking minority. According to Ergma, van der Linden's comments "created confusion and bewilderment both in the Estonian public and internationally."
In a notable departure from normal diplomatic language, she even referred to his "lies" at one point.
"Give up spreading erroneous information about Estonia," Ergma wrote.
Having been told about the contents of Ergma's letter by The Baltic Times, van der Linden expressed amazement at its contents.
"I am astonished that the Estonian Speaker has chosen to respond to second-hand reports of what I am alleged to have said, rather than to my position as clearly set out in the statement I made at the end of my visit to Estonia.
"In that statement - which has been on the Assembly's website for the last ten days - I made my position clear on citizenship and the rights of stateless persons.
"I invite anyone who wishes to know my views to read it."
Addressing Ergma, he said: "As I said in my previous letter to you, I appreciated the frank and positive discussions we enjoyed during our meeting and am therefore surprised to learn only via the media of the strong views you have subsequently expressed. To the best of my recollection, you never expressed such views to me during our meeting."
He said it was regrettable that he did not have an opportunity to reply to her letter 's which he received Oct. 2 's before it was made public. "I find it improper for such a public accusation to be made before giving me any right of reply."
Van der Linden's official statement at the conclusion of his visit says that "The most important challenge now is to fully integrate the Russian-speaking population, which should have the full range of rights and opportunities enjoyed by all European citizens.
"A significant part of the population of a European Union country cannot remain stateless. This integration should not be limited to citizenship, but be accompanied by active measures at citizen level to encourage voluntary integration, avoid any discrimination in the labour market and promote language learning."

It makes sense to start with Cagliari, the Sardinian capital. This modest province captures the sense of pleasant quietude one expects when visiting a Mediterranean island. Churches, cathedrals and townhouses impart a historical atmosphere, while there is no shortage of restaurants, cafes and bars to gain refreshment after an afternoon spent basking in the sun. Blessed with an eight-mile long coastline, Cagliari's bays and beaches will leave you spoiled for choice. Whether prone on a beach towel or partaking in snorkelling, you're sure to be dazzled by the clean turquoise water and white sandy beaches. Of an evening, join the locals on their traditional nightly stroll - or passeggiata - past the Roman amphitheatre and through a warren of charming old streets.

The Buffalo Sabres roster has changed pretty significantly in the past few days, with general manager Tim Murray making several moves to ship players out and get other pieces in return.
Here's a summary of what's happened to the Sabres roster since Friday:
- Sabres trade Ryan Miller and Steve Ott to the St. Louis Blues in exchange for goaltender Jaroslav Halak, forward Chris Stewart, QMJHL prospect William Carrier, a 1st-round pick in 2015 and conditional 3rd-round pick in 2016.
- Sabres trade Brayden McNabb and ECHL prospect Jonathan Parker, plus a 2nd-round pick in 2014 and 2nd-round pick in 2015, to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for defenseman Nicolas Deslauriers (will report to Amerks) and college prospect Hudson Fasching.
- Sabres trade Jaroslav Halak and a 3rd-round pick in 2015 to the Washington Capitals in exchange for goaltender Michal Neuvirth and defenseman Rostislav Klesla (will report to Amerks).
- Sabres trade Matt Moulson and Cody McCormick to the Minnesota Wild in exchange for forward Torrey Mitchell, a 2nd-round pick in 2014 and a 2nd-round pick in 2016.
Since Friday, the Sabres have essentially shipped out seven players – including their captain, their long-time starting goaltender, an AHL defenseman, a goaltender who never played a game for Buffalo, and a prospect in the ECHL – and three draft picks.
In return, they walk away with a goaltender, two new forwards, two defensemen who will both report to the AHL for the time being, a QMJHL prospect, a college prospect and four future draft picks that will help the team with rebuilding in the years to come.
So — how do you think Tim Murray did in his first trade deadline with the Sabres organization? Was it enough? Was it too much? It's certainly been an exciting past few days in the world of the Sabres — and from the sound of things, there may be more movement coming at the NHL draft in June.

March 2010.
My family have known Darren for a long time. He is a honest and reliable person. Also very good at his job.
Darren is always on time and the car is always in perfect condition. He thoroughly explains things, and lessons are moving at a good pace.
I would be happy to recommend this company.
Darren was a great driving instructor and was very flexible with driving lessons short notice. Darren was very friendly and made the lessons fun. He also provided a huge amount of information (diagrams and explanations) over email which was extremely useful for perfecting each manoeuvre and answering any questions I had.
Darren helped me to complete my driving course and pass first time! He was a very friendly and reliable teacher and excelled with his knowledge of the driving course/criteria and teaching know how. His years of experience are clearly backed up with the results his students have come away with and I am extremely pleased with my own progress under his instruction. I would HIGHLY recommend Darren to anyone looking for a driving instructor!!!
Darren is a good driving instructor, he has a calm attitude when teaching. Whenever I've made a mistake, he would not be harsh but instead he would tell me to calm down and do it the right way. Like many other young drivers, I failed my first test but that was due to my nerves but Darren still believed in my driving, which made me believe in myself. After rebuilding my confidence, I went and passed my test second time. Throughout this journey of learning how to drive with Darren, he built my confidence and taught me to become a safe driver. He is very helpful and gives great advice when it comes to driving in the future.
I highly recommend using Darren and GDI. As a young and over confident driver, Darren turned my erratic and lousy driving into an all round ability to be able to control a car on the road. He not only taught me to pass my test (first time), but also taught me the invaluable ability to drive in many different situations. His approach to instructing is incredible, adapting to the personality of the driver and using that to best aid them learn to drive. You should use GDI and Darren, not just to pass your test, but because he will make you the best driver you can be.
Darren is a great teacher, he has a calm attitude and will boost your self confidence whilst making you a safe driver beyond just passing your test. He answered all my stupid questions, got rid of my nerves and repeated the manoeuvres until I was completely comfortable with driving independently. Never once late for a lesson, and was able to adapt the lesson to focus on what I was most concerned about. I could not recommend him more!
Darren's approach to teaching meant I was able to learn at a pace that I found managable whilst improving my driving skills. His positive approach to teaching resulted in me passing my practical test with only 3 minors. I Cannot reccommend Darren enough, he is very personable and arranged the lessons to suite me.
I have complicated learning and speech and language difficulties which make me extremely nervous and anxious. So it was important I found the right driving instructor. After searching the internet I found GDI and Darren. Darren is a very friendly, knowledgable and calming instructor who is patient, did not rush me, made my lessons fun and explained things in a language I understood, hence building my self esteem. He dealt with my difficulties brilliantly, spending time to work out the best individual plan and learning aids for me adjusting them when I struggled with certain things. I passed my test first time with only 5 minor faults and feel very confident and in control when I drive, remembering the things Darren had taught me for enjoyable, safe and stress free driving. Thank you so much Darren. If anyone feels that driving will be a struggle for them I would highly recommend you speak to Darren !!
I would recommend this company.
Darren was a great instructor, went at just the right pace for me, with loads of handy hints and tips, not just to pass the test but also to become a safe driver for life. I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone looking for a driving instructor in future.
I can't recommend him more even with my random work shifts and son's health problems he was able to sort me lessons out around these things. He is polite and makes you feel relaxed. He provides lots of info with pictures to help you learn to drive and pass your test

1998 Legislative Mandate for High Performance Computers
NSIAD-99-208: Published: Sep 24, 1999. Publicly Released: Oct 20, 1999.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO examined: (1) whether exporter notification to the Department of Commerce of proposed sales of high performance computers (HPC) to countries of concern has resulted in license applications and what final action was taken on these licenses; and (2) how Commerce is conducting post-shipment verifications of the use of high performance computers after their export to these countries.
GAO noted that: (1) under the review process required by the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), most of the 938 proposed exports of HPCs to what were believed to be civilian end-users in countries of concern have generally been allowed to continue without export licenses; (2) from February 3, 1998, when procedures implementing the new NDAA became effective, to March 19, 1999, reviewing agencies allowed 828 proposed HPC exports to continue without a license, but they required license applications for 101 exports because of military, proliferation, or foreign policy reasons such as human rights violations; (3) the majority of the objections made by reviewing agencies to the 101 proposed exports were based on concerns that the proposed end-users of the HPC might have been involved in military or proliferation-related activity; (4) licenses that were approved had additional conditions placed on the reexport or end-use of HPCs; (5) the majority of these applications involved China, India, and Israel; (6) after the NDAA procedures were implemented, licenses were required for nine exports of HPCs to end-users of concern who had previously received HPC exports without a license; (7) while the NDAA contains no time limit for completing post-shipment verifications, Commerce has completed verifications on 104 HPC exports, or about 27 percent of those verifications required on the 390 HPCs exported during fiscal year 1998; (8) in a report to Congress, Commerce stated that all 104 post-shipment verifications were favorable, meaning that the computer had been seen during an on-site visit and that nothing was inconsistent with the license or the license exception; (9) verification conducted by Commerce but not yet completed detected the possible diversion of two computers to a military end-user, in apparent violation of U.S. export control regulations; (10) according to Commerce, the main reasons why these post-shipment verifications were not conducted were that: (a) Chinese policy prior to June 1998 did not permit post-shipment verifications to be made; or (b) the exports did not meet the requirements agreed upon in a June 1998 memorandum of understanding between the Department of Commerce and China's Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation; and (11) although the NDAA requires post-shipment verifications on all HPCs exported since November 18, 1997, whether licensed or not, Commerce believes that it is futile to seek to visit HPCs exported to China before the end-use visit arrangement or without end-user certificates.

Education is a ticket out of poverty, yet most schools in Nyanga only have the resources to provide very basic education opportunities for young people. As a result, many children, some as young as 12, are dropping out of school.
We exist to motivate students by making education fun and engaging. We offer educational and life-skills programmes that we run after school, on weekends and during school holidays. Children in Years 5, 6 and 7 are supported with the goal of helping them transition into high school with a strong foundation.
1. Provide High School scholarships to help children transition after primary school.
2. Manage a Book club that also incorporates spelling bees.
3. Run a life skills program that utilizes Capoeira, Yoga & Arts.
Yoga is greatly beneficial to providing children with a well-rounded education. Not only does it have physical benefits that improve health and vitality, physical strength, posture, flexibility and co-ordination, but it also helps improve mental and emotional well-being through memory, creativity, self-confidence and self-esteem. Practicing Yoga contributes to building a greater understanding of oneself as well as the world in which we live.
We are currently running a six-week yoga programme in Bongolethu Primary School. With the intention of it becoming a regular program in all four schools we are working in.
This new program focuses on developing literacy at elementary level. In partnership with the Centre for Books (who run under the umbrella of the National Library), we are promoting the culture of reading in our communities and hoping to encourage new attitudes amongst young people towards it. Township Roots has launched reading clubs in four schools (Entshona, Bongolethu, Masivuke and KwaFaku) and started with classes in two schools (Bongolethu and Entshona). Targeting literacy levels will enable young people to excel in their learning and public-speaking as well as build self-belief and confidence.
Township Roots offers a Scholarship Award each year which recognises outstanding students from the high schools in Nyanga. The students receive R500 vouchers to cover basic schooling needs such as stationery, uniform and excursions. The scholarship program was launched in 2013 and powered through our partnership with N/Ascenta in New York.
At Township Roots, our aim is to make school fun and exciting for young people. We offer Capoeira classes in partnership with Cordao de Ouro Capoeira in Cape Town. We work closely with Brazilian instructors Contra Mestre Espirronho and Mordaca who travel the world teaching the principles of Capoeira. Capoeira is really helping our kids by bringing a fresh and exciting energy to their learning environment. It encourages creativity and physical activity while developing their disciple and focus. We have commenced our 2014 classes and our objective will be to expand the program to include more schools as well as integrate it with our reading clubs.
We work closely with parents and encourage their involvement at meetings, events and running activities. Our aim is to mobilise parents and allow them the space to work with Township Roots for the benefit of the kids.

Management: The Role of Men and Women Is Different In Management
Table of Contents
Abstract .................................................................................................................................3 Introduction...............….......................................................................................................4 Background Information ......................................................................................................5 Advantages of Female Managers...........................................................................................7 Disadvantages of Female Managers.......................................................................................8 Conclusion…………………………………………………………………………………..9 References .............................................................................................................................12
Look around your workplace, and calculate the percentage of women. Now look at top management. How many of those corner offices are occupied by women? For the vast majority of U.S. workplaces, the answer is, 20% or less, even though women make up 48% of the total workforce. As Newsweek columnist Anna Quindlen writes in The Leadership Lid: "One of the greatest natural resources in America is going underused. And she may be sitting right at the next desk."
The past several decades have brought huge changes that have in turn shaped the development of the current business environment. The present data clearly indicates that management in general has become much more human-oriented, even in the face of some incredible improvement in technology. As a result, scholars and professionals alike have recognized the need for people with better 'soft' skills that include communicating, networking, empowering, delegating, and counseling among others. Such skills are absolutely very important for managers in organizations that...

History of US
Native Americans probably migrated to the region from Asia up to 40,000 years ago. These indigenous people of the Americas lived in tribes, and were typically nomadic throughout most of their history. European explorers arrived in the late 1400s, most famously Christopher Columbus, who reached the Caribbean islands in 1492.
Settlers from the Netherlands set up the New Amsterdam colony in what would later become New York, but soon gave up their territory to England. France established colonies in what is now Canada and the Louisiana Territory, which makes up a large portion of modern-day United States.
Thirteen British colonies were established along the Atlantic Coast by the early eighteenth century. Throughout this, the indigenous people were exposed to the diseases of Europe, which they had never built up immunities to, and were pushed out of their lands progressively farther westward over time.
The French and Indian War, part of the Seven Years' War that took place from 1756 to 1763, was a territorial battle between the British and French colonies in North America. The war resulted in Spain ceding the Florida territory to Britain, and France ceding its territory in Canada to Britain and the Louisiana region to Spain.
The British Crown, in an effort to regain some of the money lost fighting the war, began collecting taxes from the colonists. Since the colonists did not have representation in British Parliament, they felt the taxation was unjust. These factors led to the American Revolutionary War, which broke out in 1775 and ended in 1783. The war was fought in many battles throughout the thirteen colonies, and resulted in the Declaration of Independence, which was signed on July 4, 1776. The system of government was based on the Articles of Confederation, followed by the Bill of Rights.
The Louisiana Purchase of 1803 nearly doubled the size of the United States, and was followed by battles with Spanish colonists to claim Florida for the United States in 1819. Over the rest of the century, the United States continued to expand across the continent, with the annexation of Texas, the Oregon Territory, California, and the Southwest.
Slaves had been brought into the United States since colonial times, but slavery did not spread to each of these new territories. The tensions between slave states and free states built up, leading to the Civil War from 1861 to 1865, in which the southern slave states ceded from the Union, creating the Confederacy. The Confederacy lost the Civil War, and rejoined the Union, and the slaves were freed, though still segregated in the South for years to follow.
The United States remained neutral at the start of World War I in 1914, but entered the war on the side of the Allies in 1917. During World War II, after an attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States joined the Allies once again.
The United States is situated in North America, between Canada and Mexico. The United States borders the Pacific Ocean along its western coast, and the Atlantic Ocean along its eastern coast. Southeastern United States sits along the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska is located next to the Arctic Ocean and Bering Sea.
From its many miles of coastlines with their sandy beaches, the tropical Hawaiian Islands, to its mountain ranges like the Rockies and the Appalachians, the United States has a wide variety of terrains. Major rivers in the United States include the Mississippi River that traverses the country, and combined with the Missouri River, form a the fourth longest river system in the world.
The government system of the United States is a federation that is a union of states with a degree of autonomy that are united by a centralized government. At the federal level, the government is divided into three branches: the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial. A bicameral Congress is made up of the Senate and the House of Representatives is made up of representatives from each of the states: each state has two senators, and the number of representatives in the House from each state is proportionate to the state's population.
The United States is further divided into fifty states and one federal district, Washington DC (District of Colombia). The states are governed by an elected governor, and are further divided into counties and cities. The states enjoy a bit of autonomy, and are able to make laws on issues not covered in the Constitution, have their own court system, and representatives.
Travel Attractions in US
The United States is a diverse and multicultural nation, with endless options for travelers. New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Chicago are a few of the biggest cities in the United States, are filled with attractions. The Grand Canyon and the many U.S. National Parks are popular destinations for family vacations. World famous theme parks like Disneyland and Disney World in California and Florida are just a few of the many attractions offered in the United States.
Education System in US
The education system of the United States is managed by the government at each level: federal, state, and locally through school districts. Public education is free and available to all students, and school attendance is compulsory from the age of five to somewhere between fourteen and eighteen, depending on the state. Aside from public schools, private schools and home schools are two other options for schooling in the United States.
After completing high school, students can continue to college to earn an associate's or bachelor's degree. Institutions of higher education can be public or private, but most have tuition fees. Scholarships and financial aid are often available. The United States has a community college system, which offers two-year degrees called associate's degrees. Community colleges are located in many cities, and receive public funds to make college more affordable. Once completing an associate's degree, students at community colleges can then transfer to a four-year college if desired.
After attaining a bachelor's degree, students can continue to graduate or professional school to earn a master's degree, doctorate degree, or other professional degree.
|US Trivia
Alaska's coastline is longer than the coastlines of all other states combined.
The United States has no official language.
The state of Kentucky has the largest cave system in the world.
One of the mottoes of the United States is E pluribus unum, meaning "Out of many, one."
The United States acquired Alaska from Russia in year 1867.

Break fast with belly dancing! Dina's new talent show will air after Ramadan
We thought it wasn't going to happen, but we've been wrong before. Egyptian belly dancer Dina will be shaking up the screen and the nerves of conservatives with a talent show for the gifted movers and groovers of this region.
According to the Middle East news portal, the episodes of the talent show for wannabe belly dancing stars has begun filming inside the studios of the satellite Egyptian channel 'Al Qahira Wal Nas' in complete secrecy.
A huge set has been constructed for the program, and the network has not announced an official launch date, but it is expected it will be aired after the holy month of Ramadan during the end of August.
The provocative performer is filming the first star search phase of the program. She and the other judges on the panel will select the best dancers to go on and groove their way across live television for viewers to cast their vote of who should win.
In case you don't want to wait until the end of summer to see the starlet on screen, you can catch her during the Ramadan drama "Al Murafa'a" (The Trial) alongside Lebanese actress Dolly Shaheen and famous Syrian actor Bassem Yakhour.

A crazy complex delicious Ethiopia SG-120 from Blue Bottle's beautifully restored Faema Urania lever pull espresso machine.
This was at the Berry St branch in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The coffee is a Yirgacheffe Gelana Abaya natural with fruity and savory layered flavors. It stood up to the milk but didn't fight with it. We wanted to try a straight shot but didn't feel like waiting in line again.

This was a good life.
How about, you and Joon just go together, and tell me how it was? You see, I just ate a hefty meal; a feast, in fact. It wouldn't be appropriate to go on rollercoaster rides, under the consideration of that.
……………….. wow, that was low ok. B/

My name is Renee. I live in South Jersey and I like to do new things. I love museums, amusement parks etc.
Welcome to the group. Hope to see you join one of the upcoming walks!
welcome to our group
Thanks for sharing Renee and welcome!
Hi Renee, come on out to the Watermelon Dance this Saturday and meet new people. We have a great group of dancers. It's fun and everyone is friendly. See you soon.
Hey Renee, you can be late but you'll be a bit behind. Why not plan to come to the First Friday dance at Dance Time lesson 8-9 and take the beginner lesson, and/or come to The Watermelon and take the beginner lesson ususally 8-8:30 on a Saturday and that should help you get off to a good start. If that doesn't work keep an eye open for our next Boot Camp/Crash Course for Beginners that will be planned for Dance Time sometime in Dec. We'll announce the date within the next week.
Hi Renee - I wanted to let you know that I posted a Meetup for the Pop Shop's Pop Quiz! Trivia Night. Thanks for the suggestion! I hope you & your husband can join us.
Hi Renee! Welcome to the Best Meetup Group Ever! You're going to love us!
