Great location, less than 5 mins from restaurants, grocery store, etc. About a 10 minute walk to the bus stop for Zrce beach. Nice size kitchen we used to make pasta. We decided last minute that we wanted to spend an extra night here but the owner didn't have room for us, but instead he helped us find a place elsewhere. I would absolutely recommend this place!

I stayed at this hostel for their 1 year anniversary night so it is very new and clean. The hostel is very big but for its size has a pretty small common area. However, the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We didn't have the next part of our travel arrangements and the front desk spent about 20 mins with us to help sort out bus and ferry schedules.

Chrysler Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
This is actually a very common problem with ALL Chysler vehicles. There is going to be a broken piece inside the shifter that will need to be replaced. The shifter assembly is most likely going to need to b e changed. This should be done by a Dealer who is familiar with this problem. Probably not the best job for a DIY'er to attempt. At this point, the best bet is to use the "over-ride" feature and get it repaired as soon as you can.
In the event of an electrical failure, the vehicle can be shifted out of PARK by using the following procedure.

Our friends at men.style get some preview looks of the OAK and OAK Black Label line for Autumn 2009. "If you're a guy who prefers to skip the hassle of destroying your jeans and would rather pick them up pre-shredded, Oak's the place to be. The retailer-turned-designer previews its in-house collection for Fall tonight. It consists, as ever, of the sort of punky basics Oak's East Villager and Williamsburgher clientele loves: oversize, stretched-out tees; shaggy flannels; and denim that's already gone through the wringer. The styling ranges from everyday wearable to the more directional, but one constant is the quality—an aspect that's getting punched up even further with the new Oak Black Label line, also launching this evening"

Porter C. Thayer Photographs
Collection Overview
This archive contains 1300 photographs made by Porter C. Thayer, scanned from silver gelatin prints, held in the collection of the Brooks Memorial Library. The prints were made in 1980 from the 5x7 glass plates negatives created by Porter Thayer. These images are also available on microfilm at the Brattleboro library.
Porter Thayer was born Porter Charlie Thayer on January 6, 1882 on Main Street in Williamsville, Vermont. He grew up in the red house called the Tillotson Place in the Parish section of Newfane, Vermont.
He photographed Windham County, Vermont, beginning in 1906 through around 1920. Like most Vermont men of his generation he was a farmer, specifically an apple orchardist, managing his 50 acre apple orchard on Baker Brook Farm in Newfane. He turned to his apple business after ending his photographic career.
The postcard craze that most likely reached Vermont by about 1905, was perhaps the impetus for Porter Thayer starting up a photographic business. His diaries tell that he sold 1,197 postal cards during a six-month period at the height of his career. The cards were for sale as souvenirs to summer tourists at small general stores, local inns, boarding houses and hotels. Local folks purchased his photographs as well, especially around the Christmas season, to send to distant relatives. A Brattleboro, Vermont directory of 1909 lists Porter as advertising that he would come to anyone's home and make images for a reasonable fee. Around 1911 he recorded that he had 720 customers. Eventually he photographed in all the towns within a 25 mile radius of his home in Newfane.
Porter Thayer perfectly fits the archetype of the town photographer. He traveled the narrow dirt roads in his buggy, behind his faithful mare Lady, who accompanied him daily. He could apparently take extended naps while Lady brought him safely home, as she always knew the way. He used two cameras: a 5 x 7 and a 6.5 x 8.5 view camera and made glass dry-plate negatives. He traveled with stacks of postcards to be delivered at stores along the way to his days work.
Working continually through seasons and years, Porter Thayer left an archive that is a cultural treasure for southeastern Vermont. The quality of his work shows that he was able to combine business needs with aesthetic ones. During the time period Porter worked, Vermont was extremely poor and rural, yet held a close-knit population that shared the labors of life. Farmers helped one another to survive in a subsistence and barter economy. For women, men, and children, life meant constant work. Thayer's images describe the work and the tools involved. His landscape images reveal this working landscape, which today is mostly hidden by trees. The fruits of his labor as a photographer have grown in importance, as both the landscape and culture of Vermont has shifted into modern spheres of living.

Disturbed's David Draiman Reveals B-Sides Title in Unending Series of Tweets
Disturbed may be on hiatus from music, but frontman David Draiman certainly isn't on hiatus from tweeting. The singer has seemingly been answering every question his fans are asking him via his Twitter page. One of his answers was the title of the band's upcoming B-sides disc — 'The Lost Children.'
Draiman is apparently so fond of tweeting that he is answering questions on behalf of other artists. One person asked, "I have a question about a song of [Marilyn] Manson, the song is called 'Disassociative' … can u explain to me what the word does mean?" Draiman promptly answered, "Disassociatives are psychotropic drugs that can have hallucinogenic effects. They allow you to retreat from association."
Draiman also answered a question asking what his favorite Three Days Grace song is. It's 'I Hate Everything About You,' in case you were curious. He also is tweeting about topics as wide-ranging as his upcoming wedding and President Obama's new tax plan. To keep up with Draiman's latest tweets, check out his Twitter page here.
Earlier this summer, Disturbed announced they were going on an indefinite hiatus following the Rockstar Mayhem tour. 'The Lost Children' will feature B-sides and rarities from the band.

The movie Predators introduced audiences to a brand new breed of "Super Predator". They were stronger, cooler looking and uglier than ever with their distinctive armor and masks. The film has sprouted many different collectibles from several reputable companies such as Sideshow Collectibles' Predators maquette series. This exciting new statue series results from a unique collaboration with KNB EFX Group. The latest in the series, The Tracker Predator Maquette depicts the mysterious predator as he tries to pull back his ravenous hound.
PACKAGING: Sideshow has always done a great job with their composition and package designs and the new Tracker Predator is no exception to the rule. The outer box for this piece features a huge image of the Tracker's head on the left -hand corner of box which spills over to the next side giving the package a fantastic eye-catching profile look at the creature from the corner. The background design throughout the entire package is covered in a stark black with random bursts of crimson coming from the edges creating the illusion of blood splatter. On the other side of the box, there is a large image of the Tracker and hound on its base with the Predators movie logo emblazoned on the top.
SCULPT: One of the most impresive things about this particular piece is the dynamic pose of the Tracker Predator. The sculptor has done an amazing job in capturing that dramatic moment in which the predator is pulling back the blood-thirsty hound with all his might as he grips the magnetically attached chains that anchor on to the creatures's hyde. The Tracker's knees are bent in a way that illustrates the sheer force that he is using to maintain control of the creature not to mention the way the tendrils on his head are floating wildly in mid air.
Both of these elements are crucial in illustrating movement on a statue and both Sideshow and KBE EFX have done a fantastic job at accomplishing this. The Tracker's head sculpt captures the essence of the predator quite well but the most impressive aspect of the head is the way the dreadlock-like tendrils are wipping around wildly in all directions.
The hound is also rendered flawlessly in three-dimensional form as it tries to get loose if the Trackers grip and the creature's front legs spill over the edge of the statue base which makes the overall look of the piece more dramatic. The hound's gigantic bone-like quills stick out from the top of its body pointing in all directions. Several of the longer quills on the creature need to be inserted into their individually color coded slots during assembly but it is a rather simple task to accomplish. The head sculpt on the hound captures the creature's menacing guise with its mouth gaping wide open and ready to attack its prey.
Both the Tracker and his hound stand atop an incredibly life-like enviromental base which adds a significant realistic element to the piece. The enviroment depicts a barren desert with random rocks and dried out tree trunks. The base feature strtegically placed holes in which the Tracker and hound's metal pegs can be inserted for simple assembly. The base also features an ornate trim around its edges of an alien-liek nature as the icing on the cake. The staue measures approximatelly 16" from bottom of the base to the top of the Predator's head and is a bit wider than other statues at 15 inches.
PAINT: The color application on this piece is not exactly what you would expect from a high-end collectible of this nature. The metal components of the Tracker's armor and mask are colored very well and bare that worn-out metallic look which adds realism to the piece. While the enviromental base and hound are painted beautifully, the colors on the Tracker look very flat and there is not a lot of contrast between the costume and the creature's skin tones. This is mostly evident in the neck and shoulder area where the bone tusks on the Tracker's necklace are painted in an almost identical color as the creature's flesh. As a whole, the piece is very nice to look at but could have turned out a thousand times better if a broader selection of colors and glosses would have been utilized on it.
OVERALL: The Tracker Maquette is a nice piece to add to your Predator collection, but with its price point of $300.00, it leaves much to be desired in terms of detail and paint application. Nonetheless, this statue offers several unique qualities which compliment its value, such as its large scale, real metal chains and dynamically sculpted pose. This statue offers a rare look at the Tracker and his hound in action and there is no doubt that would look awesome as a display piece in your home.
Strange enough, the regular edition of the Tracker Predator Maquette is now sold out, but the exclusive version with bonus art print (same price) is in-stock HERE.

High Blood Pressure
Swollen ankles every evening
Hello, I have written before concerning my high blood pressure. I am a 54 yr. old woman who has had problems with blood pressure for 20 yrs. This past week I have been having my ankles swelling every evening. I know some of it is due to the fact that I don`t drink a lot of water but the Norvasc 5mg. that I take daily I know can cause this problem. Also, I have been on Atacand 16 mg. can this drug also cause swelling? I am so tired of not being normal and I do cause myself a lot of anxiety worrying about having a stroke, my brother has already had a stroke and he has blood pressure problems as well. I`ve had a stress/echo which showed my heart was fine, what can I do? My doctor doesn`t want to make any changes to my meds. Thanks for any advice.
Swelling of the ankles can be due to heart failure, but it is often harmless. If you have a normal stress/echo, it is likely that your swelling is not due to heart disease.
Norvasc can cause swelling. In your case, you may want to consider stopping Norvasc and replacing it with a diuretic like hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ). Atacand is available in a combination pill with 12.5 mg HCTZ. If your blood pressure stays too high, Atacand can be increased to 32 mg per day. If you still need more medication, a beta blocker can then be added. These drugs usually do not cause swelling.
Sometimes, ankle swelling is due to venous insufficiency. In that case, wearing pressure stockings can be very helpful.
The risk of stroke is linked to the level of your blood pressure. Ankle swelling by itself does not increase that risk.

Auto loans allow individuals the ability to afford vehicles more comfortably within their budget. While acquiring a loan is a great option, it can sometimes be a complicated and confusing process, especially when it comes time to factor in the insurance for the car. However, the following information will help you to understand how auto insurance ties into auto loans and how you can find out the requirements necessary for both.
Is Auto Insurance Required?
Auto insurance is not actually required to apply for a car loan. Insuring your car is required in most states, but you do not need to insure the car until it has been purchased. However, almost every car lending institution requires you to have car insurance before they give you an auto loan. So, although the law may not require you to have insurance before applying for an auto loan, a lending institution nearly always requires it.
What Kind of Coverage Is Needed?
The reason lending institutions require insurance in general is to cover the potential costs in the event of an accident. If you total a car, you are unlikely to continue making payments on that car. Therefore, lending institutions require liability coverage, at a minimun, be purchased for your vehicle to cover the costs associated with an accident. This insurance will cover medical as well as other costs for your car or an injured party should you be at fault. While only liability insurance is required, there are other forms of insurance, such as comprehensive and collision, that will help to deflect the costs associated with an accident. These forms are not necessary in order to acquire the loan, you may want to consider these options as they could prove to be worthwhile investments should you be in an accident.
Full Coverage Auto Insurance Explained >>
How Can I Determine What Coverage the Lender Requires?
Lenders generally have requirements about the amount of coverage you must carry on your car. While the amount might only be the state's required amount of coverage, other lenders could ask for more coverage. For this reason, the cost of insurance should be part of the research you do before purchasing a car. You should know that the cost of insurance varies widely and depends on the make as well as the model of the car. Sports cars are generally more expensive to insure because the repairs necessary in the event of an accident will be costly. In addition to the rates of the insurance, be sure to ask the auto loan institutions about deductible limits. A deductible is the amount you will pay out of pocket before the insurance company begins to pay for costs associated with an accident. Most auto loans have a requirement on deductibles, usually requiring that it is at least $1,000 or less. Overall, you can look on-line or speak with the institution directly in order to determine the coverage the lender will require and if the deductible they offer suit your financial needs.

McGowan and Zinczenko finally decided to end their romance after realizing the long distance between them was playing havoc with their relationship
Hollywood-based "Charmed" star Rose McGowan and boyfriend Dave Zinczenko have finally decided to end their three-year romance after both realizing that the long distance between them has played havoc with their relationship. One friend tells website PageSix.com, "The bottom line was that Dave couldn't leave New York and Rose couldn't leave Los Angeles." In fact, the same site claims the real reason behind their split may stem from McGowan's recent trip to London, where she reportedly delayed her flight home after meeting TV presenter Steve Jones.

Whats the center of attraction when you move out to buy a carpet? The texture, the fineness, the design, the making or the color: what matters first? Researches have shown that the first instinct of selection is often the color combination that draws the attraction. Ninety out of hundred will go by it. Rest may ask for the carpet specifications.
Color psychology! Have you heard of it? Different colors bring out different emotional reactions. This is equally valid for carpet designing and marketing. What color brings out the ripples of sensation matters the most? Whether you know about color psychology or not dont matter but you cannot ignore the fact that the determinant factor that will attract your customer towards a carpet is color.
Color pulls you instantly. Certainly there is a logical basis of treating a color at the psychological level. For instance yellow is taken as a positive color. Whats so positive in it? Here is the associative formulation that has been traced as an adjustment between the psychology and the color sensitivity. What applies in case of yellow is that it is a bright color and the color of the sun. So as a recipient of the color you feel that brightness, thus building up a positive attitude within you.
This particular color, yellow again plays a different implication in the business sphere. First and foremost is the appealing quality and strikes the intellectuals instantly. But there also lies a flip side because more yellow can create dilution and break the harmony. Therefore corporate sectors dont go for this color in using carpets. For a corner of your home, this can be stunning.
Grey is sophisticated and considered to be more corporate in nature. It is associated with an authoritative quality and practical in nature. Therefore business houses often use this color for their carpeting purpose and also to create a balance of contrasts.
Green is relaxing and soothes your nerves. It is more close to the nature. Refreshing and healthy are the two anecdotes associated with this color. There is also a difference between the toning of greens. If deep, the business is propelling to fast rise. And if it is light or the pale tinge of green, the business house makes use of this colored carpet to provide a cool stimulant to your nerves. You often feel like you are working on a relaxed ground even if your head is burdened with endless stress and tensions.
Blue always implies authority. Blue blood for instance stands for the royal status. Similarly blue carpets are popular worldwide and placed in most dignified and sophisticated locations. It can be also red because red is strong and dominating in nature. Red carpet welcome is a bureaucratic notion and followed when dignitaries arrive at a place. Today red carpets are used in all formal occasions.
Some other good choices are brown and pink. Though brown has a very earthly status and easily matches to the wooden or cement floors unlike pink, which is mush more region specific. Pink is quite a feminine color known for softness and innocence. For domestic carpets women always love to go for it but in the business world, this is generally avoided. The reason may not be simply the psychological association but the maintenance side that pink gets dirty easily.
Its really wonderful to understand the language of colors. And selecting a carpet as per the utility becomes easier if you are aware of the psychological part of colors. Not just mere appeal but the reason behind it!

I only recently got put onto Sango by a friend and after a quick scroll through his Soundcloud I was getting more and more impressed by the sound he was putting out. The 20 year old Seattle native quickly had me zoning out to his ambient and glitchy takes on songs from the likes of Frank Ocean, Aaliyah and Slum Village to name a few. I tend to like music that can set a certain mood and sometimes transports you to another place, and Sango seems to be a master of that art. His futuristic bass vibes will have you zoning out in no time. Sango's latest EP "Trust Me" is Soulections first release for 2012 " and it's a solid EP for the label to kick start the year with. With a total of 12 tracks, the EP takes you on a journey through the diverse sounds that young Sango is capable of producing. 'Something For Us' was a standout track for me, it's just such a smooth track, perfect theme music for seducing that girl next door. So close the door, dim the lights and let Sango take you on a trip to his world. TRUST ME, you wanna get you a copy of this (buy here). And while you're at it go pick up his take on The Weeknds House of Balloons album 'More Balloons'.

Medical Billing and Coding School
As one of the leading medical billing and coding schools in the Midwest, Saint Louis College of Health Careers has been assisting career-minded students with their education, certification and ultimate employment in their chosen field for 30 years.
In choosing the medical billing and coding school that's right for you, consider the benefits of attending Saint Louis College of Health Careers:
What a Medical Billing and Coding School Teaches
A medical billing and coding specialist performs a valuable role in a medical office, hospital, clinic, or healthcare organization by managing the health information of patients. Services such as diagnoses and procedures are assigned codes and recorded for billing by the specialist.
Communication with physicians and other health care providers and patients is very important in this job, as is knowledge of various insurance programs such as those provided by Medicaid and Medicare.
SLCHC was founded in 1981 by college educators who wanted to fill the void in technical training for health care positions such as licensed practical nurses and medical office administrators. Many employers were forced to train employees on the job at the same time their need to fill these positions grew. Much-needed formal classroom and clinical training was absent.
The answer was a medical billing and coding school that could produce certified professionals in the booming health care field with quality technical instruction and training. SLCHC is fully accredited by the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES), which is recognized by the U. S. Department of Education. Our health care students come from all areas around St. Louis, including Fenton, Webster Groves, Kirkwood, Clayton, Manchester, Baldwin, Mehlville, Arnold, Maryland Heights, University City, East St. Louis, FairviewHeights, Jennings, MO.
If you're interested in attending one of the premier medical billing and coding schools in the St. Louis area, fill out the contact or application forms on the right side of this page, or call St. Louis College of Health Careers at 866-529-2070. Using the "chat live" feature at the top of the page will also connect you with a representative of the college who can answer any questions you may have.

In all of nature there has been natural selection of traits in a population of individuals, based upon the advantages that a particular trait confers upon an individual within a specific environment. In order for a particular variant of a trait to be selected there has to be a range of variation of that trait within the population. When we observe the behaviors of the human population there is obviously great variation. For example: introvert/extrovert, athletic/non-athletic, passive/aggressive, patient/impatient, bold/shy, to name just a very few. Does this range of human behaviors have any real advantage or value, in communal terms, either today, or in times past?
Approach A: Discuss with the students the significance, or contribution, to today's society of people with particular behavioral characteristics by considering the following questions: What sort of occupations or careers would that type of person be likely to choose today, and what would they have chosen, or have been given, in centuries past?
An example might be an aggressive and bold person. It is possible that a person of this behavioral pattern would choose the military, law enforcement or fire fighting --in other words, an occupation that guards and protects the community. Would that person have been a warrior, gladiator or explorer in ages past?
What about an occupation for a quiet, shy person? In ages past they may have been in a retiring religious order, perhaps spending their days transcribing books for the nobility or priests. Certainly, a person of the first behavioral pattern would not have been able to do that work month after month, year after year. But what occupation would that quiet person seek today? Are they accountants, bankers, librarians, or long distance drivers?
And now to athletes. Does being athletic have any real value today? What about in times past? Would athletes have been prized for their ability to chase down wounded animals, or for being able to quickly transport important messages from one village to another?
Approach B: Another way to examine this question is to ask what behavioral patterns, or characteristics, were needed in very early isolated communities, and how are those characteristics utilized in today's complex society and then to consider what roles they may have been given during the centuries.
Approach C: This is my favorite. Tell the students a story. "Once upon a time, in the valley of ________land (your school's name) there was a very mixed society with people of all ages and manner of abilities and interests. They were interested in learning and valued an educated mind. There were noisy and quiet people, bold and shy people, the jocks and the nerds, the rough and tough people, as well as the genteel and prissy people. They were quite a mixed community, and though problems developed between individuals, these were solved without very many physical altercations.
There was, however, a roving band of rough and tough marauders, from the land of ________ (choose a name) who were not interested in anything but displays of physical strength and aggression. They had not settled into farming, were not interested in anything related to education, still hunted and gathered for their food and spent their days training for the frequent bouts of combat. Their wounded frequently died, and maimed people were not allowed to survive. Older people were seen as a drain upon their society, so they were encouraged to move out and fend for themselves, but, of course, they usually soon died after leaving their tribe.
This band of marauders came upon the land of ________ (your school). All able-bodied people were called out to defend their community, but the rough and tough and jocks were the ones who led the defense. However, they were too few in number and were not able to stop the invaders. The ________tribe killed off all but the remaining defending "warriors," for they respected the defending warriors' strength and aggression in battle. The invading band took as many supplies as they could, destroyed the community entirely, and headed off, leaving some of their females behind as mates for the warriors.
These warriors, though they were the rough and tough people, still valued the variety in their now destroyed community, and knew enough of the workings of their society to begin to re-establish their way of life as best as they could. It was a very slow process, however, for all of their technological advances had been wiped out, and they had to begin anew. As their children grew, many were just interested in the rough and tough life of physical aggression, but some began to show an interest in the things their fathers talked about... (and now you finish this story as you see fit, bringing in the variety of human behaviors and endeavors, abilities and interests.)
Comments: You may have noticed that this seems to be referring to only males and their behaviors and occupations. What were females doing in times past? Compare those things to the options that are now available to many, but not all, women. Here, the picture is not quite so clear. Is it true that women were valued for their quiet, amenable demeanor, and their ability to organize a home and household, as well as for their natural beauty? Is it possible that women who were naturally overly aggressive and assertive had a more difficult time finding a mate, and thus their genes would not have been passed on? Is it possible that the population of female Homo sapiens would have been selected for their quieter, more gentle characteristics?

… Lose 8 lunches, and the Greek Chicken Salad Wrap recipe caught my eye. It is 3oz. grilled chicken breast, chopped romaine, tomato, cucumber, feta cheese, and olives tossed in balsamic vinegar and olive oil and served in a whole wheat tortilla. This was a great way to use some of the fresh produce that I had on hand and the Greek flavors really came through.
For a snack this afternoon, I decided to have an Evol Chicken, Bean, and Rice mini burrito. I had never heard of these before I saw them on the Lose 8 menu, so I really wanted to try one. It was really good and cooks in just 1 minute in the microwave, so it's a super quick snack that feels like a mini meal!
For supper tonight, pasta sounded good, so I made the Lose 8 Pasta With Sausage. To make you use olive oil to saute Swiss Chard (which was out at the grocery when I went this weekend, so I used Mustard Greens instead-I think just about any leafy green would work in this recipe, so just pick your favorite) and chicken sausage with onion and garlic, then add in some reduced-sodium chicken broth and simmer. Finally, you stir in some whole wheat penne pasta and top with parmesan cheese. It was so good that I had an extra spoonful tonight!
We ate an extra early supper tonight, so I was a little hungry a couple hours later. Something cheesy sounded good, and Lose 8 suggests 27 Cheez-It crackers for a treat, so I decided to try that out. It was the perfect snack and hit the spot tonight.

Police name 70-year-old who died after car ends up in Cambs river
PUBLISHED: 13:48 25 November 2012 | UPDATED: 08:49 26 November 2012
POLICE name man who died on Saturday evening after his car left a road at Earith and plunged into a river.

NEW YORK (Jul. 24)
Paul Zuckerman, general chairman of the United Jewish Appeal, who recently returned from Jerusalem where he participated in the World Assembly of the Jewish Agency, said "I can only be encouraged by my experience at the Assembly and from traveling around Israel these last few days. No longer is there talk of weariness, or of exhaustion, as there was last winter. This is as it should be, for in fact there is nothing to be tired of."
Zuckerman stated that if there was ever any weariness in the Jewish community "it has been replaced with a growing sense of solidarity, of oneness with the Jewish people, with Jewish history and with the demands of our common Jewish destiny. With this deepened sense of unity a new vigor and strength is emerging."
The UJA leader said that at the World Assembly, expression of increased giving from the delegates to this international meeting was sought and obtained for the first time. "There is a quiet but very deep, very powerful determination to rise to the challenges we face in 1975," Zuckerman said. As a result, at the UJA Executive Committee Retreat last May, which served as the kick-off for the 1975 UJA campaign, "most of our leaders committed themselves to increasing, or at least maintaining, their 1974 giving levels for 1975."
Zuckerman observed that the challenge of 1975 "is more than just a challenge to our organizational skills or our fund-raising ability. What is being tested is nothing less than our will to survive as a unique people with a special destiny." The World Assembly of the Jewish Agency, attended by more than 300 leaders of the American and word Jewish communities, blueprinted plans for Jewish Agency humanitarian programs in Israel in 1975 in the areas of housing, immigration and absorption, education and social welfare.

Mimi Fishman Foundation News (PHISH, PHISH, PHISH)
The WaterWheel Foundation and the Mimi Fishman Foundation have teamed together for a "reprise" of their recently completed on-line charity auction. While the previous auction featured a package representing each tour stop on the 1st leg of the 2010 Phish Summer tour, the new auction covers the tours 2nd half. Every tour stop multiple nights including fan favorites such as Alpine Valley, Deer Creek, and Jones Beach, as well as a special 3 night run at the Greek Theater in Berkeley. A very special run in Telluride places an exclamation point on the tour.
All proceeds raised will mutually benefit the Foundations, both of which have strong ties to the band Phish. The WaterWheel Foundation was created by Phish in 1997 to oversee the band's various charitable activities. The Mimi Fishman Foundation was established in1999 by Miriam "Mimi" Fishman (the late mother of Phish drummer Jon Fishman) and David Shulman, as a vehicle to raise funds for various charities important to Mimi.
The on-line auction is currently live with the bidding coming to close on Monday, July 19.
In addition to a pair of reserved tickets per show, the auction packages include "bonus" items including posters by famed poster artist Jim Pollock and signed by the band, a rare David Welker print, etc. .

Desperate UAE divorcée tries to fix debts with 'kidney' deal
A woman in the UAE is offering her kidney for sale in a last-ditch attempt to pay off Dhs500,000 debt she ran up after a divorce.
A woman in the UAE is offering her kidney for sale in a last-ditch attempt to pay off Dhs500,000 debt she ran up after a divorce.
The Emirati, who fears her debts will land her in jail, says she will happily travel to Iran to have her kidney removed because selling organs is legal there.
The 45-year-old, who wants to remain anonymous so her three children do not hear of her plight, told 7DAYS: "I am desperate. I am about to be thrown out of the house I rent and I have nobody to turn to. I have tried everything. I have tried selling gold, selling oil and made so many job applications I've lost count.
"If I was a bad woman I could have found a man to give me money but I would never do that. I can't see any other option than to sell my kidney. My blood is group O-negative, which is rare, so I hope I get more for it."
The woman said she clocked up the debt mostly in rent arrears. She said: "My landlord has been more than reasonable but he couldn't carry on and has now taken me to the rent committee.
"I've asked everywhere for help. I looked into the scheme for Emiratis to get a home but it means buying and you need an income of Dhs7,000 a month for that. I feel like a beggar.
"I know I'm not the only divorced Emirati woman in this position with debts but I just can't go on like this."
Do you think a lot of people in the UAE are in desperate debt situations? Should there be more help available? Share your comments with us below!

Effects of Regional Free Trade Agreements on Industrial Structure: An Extension of Krugman's Economic Geography Model (1991)
Extending Krugman (1991)'s economic geography model, this paper examines a stability of an industrial structure resulting from production shifting-in effect of a formation of regional trade agreements. This paper claims that non-higher external trade costs against non-member countries may need in order to secure the divergence of industries into the area of a regional trade agreement.

First Doctoral Consortium of the Joint Conference on Digital Libraries
Call for Participation
University Corporation for Atmospheric Research
What is the Doctoral Consortium?
The Doctoral Consortium is a workshop for Ph.D. students from all over the world who are in the course of their dissertation work. (Ph.D. students with dissertations finished or nearly completed should, however, apply for a paper to the regular conference program.) The goal of the Doctoral Consortium is to help students with their thesis by providing feedback on their research as well as to give general advice on using the research environment in a constructive and international atmosphere. Students will present and discuss their thesis in the context of a well-known and established international conference outside of their usual university atmosphere. The workshop will be a full day and will be held at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), the home institution of the DLESE Program Center and the NSDL Central Office, followed by a drive to Denver to join the JCDL conference and a group dinner. A very limited number of students will have the opportunity to participate. Students will be expected to pay their expenses and should plan to attend JCDL 2005, registered as students.
Five prominent professors and one experienced practitioner in the field of digital library research in organizations from different countries and continents will conduct the workshop. They will review all the submissions and comment on the content of the thesis as well as on the presentation. If submissions are received outside the scope of expertise of these leaders, additional faculty will be selected to participate in leading the workshop. Students will have 20 minutes to present their research, focusing on the main theme of their thesis, what they have achieved so far, and how they plan to continue their work. Another 20 minutes is reserved for discussion and feedback from both the professors and other participants. There will also be time reserved for one-on-one mentoring to provide more in-depth feedback. In the course of the workshop, students will also get advice on more general questions, for example, the differences between Ph.D. studies in different countries.
Call for papers and topics
Students interested in participating in the Doctoral Consortium should submit an extended abstract (see details below) describing their digital library research. Submissions relating to any aspect of digital library research, development, and evaluation are welcomed, including: technical advances, usage and impact studies, policy analyses, social and institutional implications, theoretical contributions, interaction and design advances, and innovative applications in the sciences, humanities, and education.
To apply for participation at the Doctoral Consortium, please provide an extended abstract of your doctoral work. Choose Doctoral Consortium as the Submission Type. The extended abstract is restricted to 4000 words (approximately 8 pages). Submissions should be submitted electronically in PDF format. The abstracts should:
Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, correctness, and clarity. Between 10 and 15 Ph.D. students will be selected to participate in this inaugural workshop.

|The local police had given permission to a group of young musicians to make a 'voter education concert' on 12 December 2007, but all of a sudden the Central Intelligence Organisation wanted to block the event.
By Sebastian Nyamhangambiri, reporting for Freemuse from Chiredzi
The stage was set, the audience was ready, waiting patiently
In Chiredzi – a small town about 400 kilometres south-east of Harare – an audience of about 5,000 people bravely waited for hours. It was such a rare concert event in this sugar growing region. Just when the concert had been about to begin, the owners of Tsvovani Stadium – the Chiredzi Rural Council – told the fans that the CIO, the Central Intelligence Organisation, had ordered the event cancelled. Then hours went by while the event organisers tried to ensure that the concert could go ahead.
There were grumblings from the crowd as musicians – who included dancing sensation Sandra Ndebele, Sam Mtukudzi, urban groovers Snipper and Nox and dancing queens Mambokadzi – milled around the set stage. But council officials remained unmoved, insisting the show had to be stopped in compliance with orders from the CIO, who operate directly under President Robert Mugabe's office.
While discussions were rolling, musicians began performing
As required by security law – the Public Order and Security Act – the organisers, a civic organisation named Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition, had cleared the musical concert with the town council. The purpose of the concert was to disseminate information on people's civil rights to vote. In Zimbabwe, normally, the local authorities would co-operate on security matters with the government's "spy agency". But in Chiredzi something had apparently gone wrong.
Unconfirmed reports said the CIO even wanted police to arrest the musicians, but again the police refused.
As the police, CIO and council officials were shuttling behind the scenes, the restless artists disregarded the order to stop and all of a sudden started performing – much to the annoyance of the sorrowful Gestapo-style spy agents.
The regime in Zimbabwe is very paranoid of new ideas of anything it is not controlling. The CIO apparently thought that there was a hidden political (anti-regime) agenda with the event. Moreso, anything that has support of civic organisations like Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition (the name tells it all!) is deemed by the CIO to be for regime change.
Since the incident on 12 December 2007, however, the CIO, which normally does not discuss its work with the media, seems to have changed its policy on such voter education campaigns. In the following month, there have been voter education musical shows – 'Rock da Vote' concerts – in Harare, Chitungwiza, Mutoko and Bulawayo without any disturbances from the CIO.
Musicians intimidated
"We defied the CIO action and went ahead to play (in Chiredzi). We wanted to see how they were going to do after the concert had been cleared," said Machisa to Freemuse.
"We know they have even tried to intimidate the musicians but they have remained resolute. In fact we have another concert in the end of January in Norton. Citizens have a right to know, and musicians have that crucial role to play without being hindered."
The Harare security agency has in the past banned at least a dozen theatrical performances they perceived as too critical of Mugabe's regime. Some artists have been detained without trial, and some of these artists have lateron taken the police to the courts for the unlawful interference with their work of art.

Atkins brace lifts Wembley FC
Wembley FC began their FA Cup campaign with a 3-2 win over Langford Town in the Extra Preliminary Round.
A host of former football internationals including Ray Parlour, Martin Keown, Graeme Le Saux, Claudio Caniggia and Brian McBride stepped out for Combined Counties Premier Division side and took an early lead when former Argentina international Caniggia slid the ball past the Langford goalkeeper.
Langford got an equaliser, but with former England boss and Wembley FC technical advisor Terry Venables on the sidelines, the side rallied and young Wembley striker Daryl Atkins netted a brace before a final consolation goal.
Atkins was Wembley's leading scorer last season with 32 goals and he admitted after the game: "This is right up there with anything I have done. I was playing pub football before this so to be on the same pitch as these great players was immense and amazing.
Venables added: "It was a game worthy of an FA Cup tie. Langford kept fighting and that made it hard for us. They pushed us all the way and you have to hope that you get the winning goal.
"[Atkins] has got something - no doubt about that. He works his socks off too - more than most. I am not going to say what he can do, but it has been there to be seen today."

I had this tea at a Barnes & Noble. I was looking to buy the opera "Atys" on Blu-Ray. Sadly, it was more expensive than I thought, so I'll have to resort to Amazon.
Leaf Quality:
Though in Sachets, the leaves were entirely loose. I couldn't see any pomegranate, but definitely smelled it. I assume the dried leaves were scented by the pomegranate, rather than thrown in with pomegranate chunks. It smelled nice.
Brewed Tea:
The color of the brew was a pale yellow. It smelled like a flavored candy, like PEZ to me. I was hesitant at first, with the smell. However, the tea proved to be much better than the scent itself. I did notice that much of the floral attributes of Ti Guan Yin (Ti Kuan Yin) had been lost to the pomegranate flavoring. That is what mostly threw me off. Aside from that, this tea wasn't too bad. It isn't my favorite from Harney & Sons, though.
I think I'll try it iced next time. It should be more refreshing as an iced tea on a summer's day.

Hey there!
If you are reading this, then you probably are wondering how you can get some awesome free software from Microsoft. You know, like Visual Studio Ultimate. What if I tossed in $150/month of Azure credits? Are you interested, now? There's got to be a catch, right? Well here is the scoop:
1) You have to have a product in mind. This can be an app, game, or service idea (but not consulting)
2) You have to make less than $1M in revenue. Zero dollars is less than $1M.
3) You have to be in business for five years, or less. Starting today is less than five years.
Microsoft would like to partner with startups to help you succeed (we, too, were once a startup)
This is a perfect opportunity! Worry about your business, not your IT infrastructure or tools! BTW: Did you know you could pretty-much run your entire organization in the cloud, with Microsoft Azure? We certainly do way-more than just websites. We'll even let you run Java, Linux, and Oracle in our cloud, but would love to see you spin things up on SQL Server and develop in c#.
Great, Fink, how do I get started?
Good question. Shoot me an email with some details about your business. Try to provide as much detail as you can, specifically around #1 -- the business 🙂
After I review your information, and you meet the objectives, I'll send you a fast-track into the Microsoft BizSpark program. This will give you immediate access to all of the benefits that come with BizSpark, which include a MSDN subscription and $150/month Azure credits.
Just send your information to me: email@example.com
Oh, and I almost forgot. I can also help direct you to some incredible free training videos from Microsoft Virtual Academy.
What are YOU going to build?

Choose how to position the blocks on the game field to earn the maximum score for the smartest placement of figures. No need to hurry! You will always have enough time to decide the position of figure before you arrange it, and an opportunity to cancel the last step of the game. Make continuous horizontal or vertical line, and, as the completed line explodes, vacating the place for new ones, it will bring you additional score!
Try taking as many points as it is possible and break the record.
You can send your result to the global Hi-Scores tables (Scoreloop).
Choose one of the two game modes: Classic – with tetromino figures, and Hard – with pentomino figures!
Good luck!

Michael Mason [Richard Madden], an American pickpocket, steals Zoe's [Charlotte Le Bon] bag, keeps what he can use and throws the rest away into a garbage bin next to a busy Paris metro stop, not knowing the purse contains a bomb. On the other side of the city, in a secure CIA station, Sean Briar [Idris Elba], an agent brought in from the battlefields of Syria and Iraq, struggles to adjust to his reassignment as a desk-bound data analyst. When the bomb explodes, Michael becomes the CIA's only suspect. Briar is determined to find Michael and bring him into custody before the French authorities but he quickly discovers someone else is behind the bombing. With one goal in mind, Briar, Michael and Zoe join together in a 24-hour suspense ride across the city, in a frantic attempt to expose a conspiracy of chaos and greed that only they can prove.

Informa Economics raised its estimate for the US soybean crop less than many investors had expected, and unexpectedly cut its hopes for corn output, but the data provided only temporary relief to crop futures on a weak day for risk assets.
Informa lowered its estimate for the US corn crop by some 450m bushels 10.7bn bushels, citing a yield which it saw at 122.4 bushels per acre, below the previous forecast of 127.0 bushels per acre.
For soybeans, the yield estimate was raised, but by a 0.8 bushels per acre to 37.8 bushels per acre, adding an extra 65m bushels to the crop.
The figures were - unexpectedly - less upbeat than those released by FCStone on Thursday, amid a run of updates by analysts ahead of the next US Department of Agriculture Wasde crop report next week.
'Not as bearish...'
Ahead of Informa's report, Richard O'Brien at RJ O'Brien said "I fear that Informa will confirm larger" output for both crops, while rival broker US Commodities forecast "bearish estimates".
Pre-Wasde corn estimatesFCStone - yield, 124 bushels per acre; production, 10.881bn bushelsInforma Economics: yield, 122.4 bushels per acre; production, 10.738bn bushelsCurrent USDA estimate: yield, 122.0 bushels per acre; production, 10.706bn bushelsHowever, after the results, Tregg Cronin at CHS Hedging said that the data were "not as bearish as I thought they'd be", adding that they boded well for investors hoping for a bullish outcome to next week's USDA's Wasde briefing.
Pre-Wasde corn estimates
FCStone - yield, 124 bushels per acre; production, 10.881bn bushels

Current USDA estimate: yield, 122.0 bushels per acre; production, 10.706bn bushels
"Informa has been above the USDA nine times on corn and soybeans [production] and below only once last 10 years," ahead of November Wasde reports, he said.
Market impact
The immediate market impact in Chicago was to spark a limited revival in crop prices, with wheat, which had been prevented by the weak performance in the row crops from reacting to ideas of further US dryness, returning to positive territory.
Pre-Wasde soybean estimatesFCStone - yield, 39.1 bushels per acre; production, 2.959bn bushelsInforma Economics: yield, 38.6 bushels per acre; production, 2.925bn bushelsCurrent USDA estimate: yield, 37.8 bushels per acre; production, 2.860bn bushelsHowever, crops ended lower after US employment data, in beating forecasts, ironically weakened prices of risk assets such as shares and commodities, provoking fears that the Federal Reserve might curb measures to stimulate the economy.

The dollar jumped 0.7% on reduced concerns of easy monetary policy, and the risks of currency debasement that such measures increase.
A stronger dollar reduces the competitiveness of dollar-denominated exports such as many commodities by making them less affordable to buyers in other currencies.
December corn fell by 1.4% to 7.39 ˝ a bushel, while December wheat eased 0.2%, to $8.64 ˝ a bushel.

The "Allgemeine Juedische Arbeiter Partei" (General Jewish Workers' Party), a political group of the extreme left, was dissolved here today by the authorities. The party's headquarters were padlocked, its leaders were arrested and its newspaper, Unserweg, was suspended.
The party, which was active in Eastern Galicia, had been in existence for two years. A similar fate has befallen the extreme left Ukrainian party.

Hey guys I can't really share how I got the chance to meet DG but it was after the shoot-around this morning. Anyways I thought I'd share it with you guys/girls.
You've been compared to the legendary Scottie Pippen before. What was it like for you last season to not even had played in a game and already be compared to one of the greatest players ever?
It was a great compliment to me to know that I was being compared to him because I play hard every game and I sort of play like him, so I guess that's why I draw the comparison.
You're listed as a 6'8" at small forward. However, you are versatile because you can also play shooting guard and power forward. What skills, basketball wise, do you feel gives you this versatility?
I think my speed because I'm quick enough to guard a two (shooting guard), quick enough to be a three (small forward) and definitely quick enough for a four. I think that's the most difference in those positions is those players are fast and I just think I'm quick enough to play all three.
After playing basically the sixth to the eighth man last season you now have a starting role. What is it like for to get the chance to prove yourself and receive more play time?
I mean it's a great opportunity for me. I think I have to take advantage of it as much as possible. Like you said I'll be starting now and I'll have a lot more time on the court and I just have to take advantage of it.
There are a lot of new players on this season's roster, but outside of Al Harrington and Marquis Daniels who do you feel will surprise fans the most and play better than expected?
I think Shawne Williams, our rookie, he's very talented. He should get some time off the bench. I think he'll play better than expected.
Many people do not know this but you actually helped out some of your relatives last year who were affected by Hurricane Katrina. Can you sum up exactly what you did to help them and maybe others?
I did donate, but it was a different type. I am directly from ffice:smarttags" />
, so I thought instead of donating to some charity I donated to my family because I have so much family there. I just basically gave a lot of money to them to help them rebuild and stuff. lace w:st="on">New Orleanslace>
What is your favorite career moment from a basketball standpoint?
Probably playing in the playoffs for the first time. You know some players rarely get to play in them in there career. I think getting to experience that my first year was a good feeling.
What was the biggest "welcome to the NBA" moment for you last year?
We were playing
lace w:st="on"> Miamilace> on TNT and I got switched up and had to guard Shaq for a couple possessions. (Laughs) That was it right there. I was just in awe regarding Shaq cause I had watched him play for so long, I mean Shaquille O'Neal you know. I was right up against him playing and that was just my "welcome to the NBA" moment.
Ron Artest said last season that you were a future all-star. With a larger role on this year's team do you think you will be able to prove that?
Definitely, I think I'll be able to prove it. If not this year then next year and if not that year then the next. I'm still young. It's only my second year so I definitely think I'll be able to prove that.
What would you say is the hardest part of transitioning from the NCAA to the NBA?
The speed of the game is a lot faster and the players are a lot stronger. You got to remember a lot of plays, more than in college. The rigorous training that we have to go thru and keep your body in shape for just 82 games is just pretty hard.
You were almost a sure top ten pick in every mock draft last year, but feel to the 17th pick. What was going thru your mind when none of the lottery teams selected you?
I just told myself I'll have to play against them, so I circled that game.
So you played with somewhat of a chip on your shoulder?
If you wouldn't have become a professional basketball player what would your career have been?
I would have been a civil engineer building bridges and road, designing different things. That was my major in college. I was always into numbers and science and math, so I figured engineering I could make some money.
What is the main difference between this year's team and last year's team?
I think we are a little more cohesive this year. Players get along really well and guys are similar, which allows us to bond on and off the court.

Nymox Pharmaceutical has reported new positive data from Phase 3 study, designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the reinjection of NX-1207 for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
The NX02-0020 study participants included 192 repeatedly treated men, who were a part of completed NX02-0014 and NX02-0016 Phase 2 trials or taking part in the NX02-0017 and NX02-0018 trials that are still going on.
Nymox CEO Paul Averback said, "This degree of long-term improvement is unprecedented in this condition considering that it is a simple, painless and safe injection with no sexual side effects, and that it has been demonstrated in a large series of treated patients."
Study assessed the improvement in the American Urological Association BPH Symptom Index Score for a period of 26 months, which is the mean duration from drug injection till final evaluation.
NX02-0020 study reported mean overall improvement of 7.6 points, while the company expects to conduct further analysis subsequent to the unblinding of NX02-0017 and NX02-0018 trials.
Positive safety results were obtained for NX-1207 re-injection in the six month primary endpoint, without any related adverse events.

One of the most important factors in the cutting and harvesting of forages is minimizing drying time. With the unpredictable weather patterns that farmers experience, getting forage crops cut and quickly harvested must be done efficiently.
To accomplish this goal, incorporating a tedder into the haying implement lineup is of utmost importance. Spreading out freshly mowed windrows helps evaporate moisture from the crop before a baler takes to the field. The technology designed in modern tedders aims to spread the material evenly with each pass, and prevent damage to the turf.
"The point of the tedder is that it spreads the crop evenly across the mowing width and gives it maximum exposure to the light and air to help it dry down faster," says Matt Jaynes, CLAAS Product Coordinator.
"A tedder will also make forages more consistent. If it's lumped in a windrow, it will be wetter on the bottom than on the top."

Coastal to name baseball playing field for Vroomans
Vrooman Field will be dedicated at Charles L. Watson Stadium in a pre-game ceremony on Saturday, March 13, prior to Coastal hosting George Mason University. The ceremony to honor the former coach and his parents Irv and Bernice Vrooman will be held on the field prior to the 2 p.m. start of a two-game weekend series with the Patriots.
Vrooman joined the Coastal faculty in 1968 as an adjunct faculty member. In 1971, he became a fulltime faculty member in the department of history. During his 36 years of service, he served in several capacities including academic dean, head baseball coach and interim athletic director.
He was Coastal's head baseball coach for 13 seasons, including from 1974-1977 and from 1987-1995. He had a record of 345-256 (.574) during his tenure, including leading Coastal to six consecutive Big South Conference regular season championships from 1988-1993, a pair of conference tournament titles in 1991 and 1992 and the program's first-ever appearance in a NCAA Regional in 1991 at Florida State. In concert with his retirement, Coastal's Board of Trustees named him professor emeritus in January 1998.
Prior to joining the Coastal faculty, Vrooman was chief of military personnel and later director of personnel of the former Myrtle Beach Air Force Base. He earned a bachelor's degree in history from Wesleyan University in 1965 and a master's degree in history from Rutgers University in 1966.
Spurred by the contribution of Vrooman, the baseball field has undergone several improvements in the recent off season in time for the start of the 2004 campaign. Among those are the new outfield wall, a completely renovated infield, along with new fencing and dugout extensions. Also, a new sound system has been installed.
Among the dignitaries at the event will be Vrooman's family, including wife Deborah, who is associate dean of the College of Natural and Applied Sciences, and daughter Ava Ann. The University will be represented by President Ronald R. Ingle, former chancellor Edward M. Singleton, Coastal Director of Athletics Warren "Moose" Koegel and head baseball coach Gary Gilmore, along with the Chanticleer baseball team.
