Bookmaker Ladbrokes reported a sharp fall in profits today as it battles to overhaul its digital business in time for this summer's football World Cup.
As well as a 66% slump in 2013 profits to £67.6 million, Ladbrokes warned that it will cut its 2,300 strong estate of shops by between 40 and 50 this year.
The company's under-pressure chief executive Richard Glynn said the results were disappointing but that it had made progress in efforts to ensure that its online offer catches up with competitors such as William Hill.
It is racing to complete product upgrades, such as a single wallet allowing punters to bet on sport and play casino games from one account, in time to deliver "tangible benefits" from the World Cup onwards.
Gaming machines have been a major contributor to profits in recent years but, with the market slowing more than expected last year, Ladbrokes is replacing its 9,000 cabinets with more sophisticated models over the first half of this year.
The move comes amid growing calls for the use of the fixed-odds betting terminals - dubbed the "crack cocaine of gambling" - to be banned or limited.
Ladbrokes said a boardroom committee will be set up to focus on the topic of problem gambling and that from next year it will link the pay of top executives to its efforts in ensuring the responsible use of gaming machines.
Mr Glynn said: "Responsible gambling is not a passing regulatory issue but a fact of life for all operators and an issue we take very seriously. Problem gamblers, contrary to popular myth, are not good for business."
Ladbrokes said sporting results so far in 2014 have largely favoured customers, with poor results in football and horse racing.
The company said: "While fair to expect that customers will recycle some of these winnings, it is unlikely that we will recoup all in this year."

A wicked documentary about the history of the Roland TB-303 Bassline Synth by director Nate Harrison.
Bassline Baseline is a video essay that investigates the invention, failure and subsequent resurrection of the mythic Roland TB-303 Bass Line music machine in the last two decades of the 20th century. The narrative seeks to invite thoughts on technological mediation within product innovation and creative expression. The dead-panned 'documentary' video attempts to explore how and why creative tools fail and how increasingly more options, parameters or intermediaries devised during a tool's research and development phase don't necessarily lead to increased expressivity or virtuosity during the tool's lifetime of actual use, unless the super-structure of its cultural context is dramatically reconsidered.

Fast Fords have been part of this country's motoring DNA for half a century now. So should we feel proud that the new Focus ST is now considered Ford's first global performance car? Or worried that in trying to be all things to all men it's a designed-by-committee dilution of all we hold dear.
Shy and retiring option not pictured...
In some respects it's business as usual, new Tangerine Scream paintwork picking up where the old car's Electric Orange left off.
And though, with a straight face, we're told the exhaust is inspired by Imperial Star Destroyer thrusters it looks more like some Essex lads were sent off to Sant'Agata in a Transit to pick up some Aventador off-cuts from out the back of the Lamborghini factory. It is, by some margin, about the most outrageous thing you've ever seen poking out from the bumper of a mainstream car.
A signature lairy paintscheme isn't the only thing carried over from the previous, big-selling ST either. Despite losing a cylinder and half a litre much effort has gone into making sure that signature ST sound - a major character feature in the five-cylinder car - survives.
The Aventador wants its exhaust back now
Can you hear me now?
As is the way these days it involves ducting noise from the inlet manifold through a 'sound symposer' and into the cabin. It has to be said, Ford's effort is more successful than most -
from it - and from the first few yards the hollow, induction-led bark is your first clue at the Focus's potential.
Without this artificially enhanced soundtrack project chief Matthias Tonn assures us the new Ecoboost engine is almost silent and, fake or not, it certainly makes the Focus sound 250hp's worth. Typically new-school, the Ecoboost engine is all forced induction from sub-2,000rpm, punchy through the mid-range and then peters out at a disappointingly low 6,500rpm and into a soft, cushy rev limiter that the sound symposer tricks you into thinking should be at least another 1,000rpm away. Which can be a problem if it happens mid-overtake.
Estate option for the more practically minded
It feels strong before that point though, the fact even the sub-RS model now gets 250hp a sign of how far things have come. Does it leave any headroom for an RS? Officially not.
That'll likely be a yes then.
Which would also explain why Ford is relaxed about pitching the ST as a Megane Renaultsport or Astra VXR chaser though, to be fair, the lack of a three-door Focus would appear to limit that potential. Whatever the reality, the ST remains one notch below hardcore and instead carves itself a niche as the usable performance car of choice. Hence the return of the ST estate, a sales failure first time it was tried but, it's hoped, more of a stand-out model this time round.
Chassis gives you lots of options
Many flavours
Mechanically identical, bar a slightly different rear axle to avoid intrusion into the load area, the estate is just as potent and, er, focused as the five-door and, in spirit, perhaps the modern reincarnation of the old Impreza wagon formula. No complaints there and, whether you opt for a Tangerine Scream hatch or more discreetly coloured estate, another example of the breadth of the ST's reach.
Clearly Ford hasn't forgotten how to engineer a great chassis either, fears designing one car for global consumption might dilute classic B-road ability thankfully unfounded. There's real class here with a low-speed plushness the likes of the Golf GTI could only dream of twinned with a playful, adjustable nature that presents you with plenty of options and reacts predictably and quickly to lifts and tucks. This is more than just a 10mm chassis drop and firmer set of springs though, an RS-inspired rear axle that attaches a thicker anti-roll bar directly to ST specific knuckles rather than to the subframe like regular Focuses maintaining roll stiffness without the need for rock-hard springs.
It'll do this all day and much more besides
The front is closer to the regular car but there are lots of interesting things regulating how that 250hp gets to the tarmac, not least Torque Steer Compensation that actually nips the steering straight via the EPAS if it detects the front wheels deflecting independently of steering input. Equivalents of the torque vectoring you get on your
and 'brake-steer' from the McLaren MP4-12C show how quickly supercar tech now filters down to everyman hot hatches, a variable-rate steering rack adding to the technological hocus pocus.
Electronic intervention
Despite protestations that "we do it the old school way" and it's about mechanical feel rather than electronics this all means there's a lot going on through the front tyres and steering wheel. There's a bit of artificially weighted mush around the dead ahead and then drop-off in resistance as you apply lock that, thanks to the variable rack, actually corresponds to a rapid increase in steering angle. It lacks the predictable, linear bite of a Golf GTI or lightning responses of a Megane and contributes to a heftiness that can feel a little stodgy on tighter roads. As things open out it gets better though and you learn to trust the combination of front-end grip, artificially enhanced or otherwise, playful rear axle, boosty power delivery and crisp pedal responses.
Grey 18s and red calipers for optional ST pack
It's more of a 9/10ths car than some of the more hardcore rivals but, frankly, that's the ST's comfort zone and it's very easy to slip into a very pleasing rhythm and cover ground extremely briskly. It's relaxed, easy going and the kind of car you could potter about in on the commute or family errands and then indulge yourself a little on those occasions when you find yourself on your own and on a suitable bit of road.
So it's appealing before you factor in some very aggressive pricing - a further benefit of the economies of scale global ambitions bring. That £22K will get you all of the above is pretty astounding, the more generously equipped ST-2 and -3 trim levels costing, respectively, £23,495 and £25,495 in five-door form and the estate adding a further £1,100.
Homogenous and all things to all markets the Focus ST may be. But it's good to know that at its heart it's still a proper fast Ford and a very, very impressive answer to pretty much every motoring need you could throw at it.

New to Java and eclipse, not sure if my question is java or eclipse question so I will try post on both forums.
Lets say you have a project, class, file created and the code you wrote so far works. In my case I wanted to
add getting system time and using some math. Found examples on the net none worked. My next step is to
try the inter net code examples in a separate file by it's self. So I tried adding another file, past the code there
then try to run it and only the first file runs. SO I guess my question is this, must I create a new project, class,
file to test a code section in this fashion?

EPA awards $496,000 to the State of Utah to reduce diesel emissions along the Wasatch Front
Release Date: 02/20/2014
Contact Information: U.S. EPA: Richard Mylott 303-312-6654; Kyle Olson 303-312-6002 Utah Department of Environmental Quality: Lisa Burr, 801-536-4019
Truck retrofit project to save fuel and money, and reduce 21 tons of particulate matter and 1,364 tons of greenhouse gases
(Denver, Colo. – February 20, 2014) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded the Utah Department of Environmental Quality a $496,000 grant to reduce diesel emissions from heavy- duty trucks based in seven counties along the Wasatch Front, an area challenged by levels of particulate matter that exceed federal air quality standards.
"Getting Utah's trucking fleets up to speed with technologies that dramatically reduce pollution, including harmful fine particles, is a step towards healthier air quality," said Shaun McGrath, EPA's regional administrator in Denver. "We know that improving air quality in Wasatch Front communities will require solutions from all types of emission sources. These types of clean diesel investments offer significant fuel and cost savings and set an example for efforts to secure clean air."
This project will focus on retrofitting 19 long-haul trucks, based in Utah, with exhaust control devices that will reduce particulate matter emissions up to 90% and idle-reduction technologies that will reduce engine idling time by more than 8,000 hours. Bingham Livestock, Intermountain Rigging and Heavy Haul, L & S Transport, and Sugar House Van Lines were selected to participate due to their activity in areas along the Wasatch Front. The project will also replace two outdated vehicles operated by C.R. England Global Transportation and Pacific States Cast Iron Company with new ones that meet high emissions standards.
Investments in clean-diesel technologies save money and reduce premature deaths, asthma attacks, respiratory ailments, lost work days, and many other health impacts that affect the region every year. In addition to the important health benefits, EPA's grant will result in the reduction of 48 tons of nitrogen oxides; 21 tons of particulate matter (PM 2.5); 15 tons of hydrocarbons; 83 tons of carbon monoxide; and 1,364 tons of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide. It will also save 83,462 gallons of fuel.

Myers Verde
Mr. Myers is the founder of the Myers Verde Company supporting efforts to implement sustainable building practices in federal facilities and consults on local sustainable development policies. Michael Myers is a LEED® Accredited Professional and national speaker who has 30 years experience in the fields of energy efficiency, environmental planning, green building, healthy living and sustainable development. Mr. Myers provided technical assistance in support of the U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program, the State Energy Conservation Office's Texas Energy Partnership and was previously the Manager of Energy Services for the City of Austin where he co-created the nationally acclaimed Austin Green Building Program.
The target audience includes local governments, businesses, non-profits, federal agencies, builders, neighborhood associations and anyone looking for someone knowledgeable to be a keynote speaker and/or national expert on green building and sustainable development. These are organizations looking for an experienced professional; someone that will lead the way and guide them them towards the right path. At the same time they are looking for someone that enjoys what they do and demonstrates that passion. My role is to get them excited. Help them realize they can make the right choice and have fun.
Looking for a logo that can be used on a new website and help draw attention to the site.
Would like to have design show energy and water, healthy living. Prefer not to have a house as the main or only image. Many green sites use homes.
The website is under construction and will be totally revamped: the address is: http://www.myersverde.com
I would like the logo include an image and the name Myers Verde. It does not need to include "company" as part of the logo. It would be used on memos, stationary other related docuements.
I am interested in having a bold look that is more than just the name or for example a leaf added at the end of the company name.
A tagline is an option. We have the following: "It's time. Be green."
we have not determine how this should look (font style) or be associated with the name Myers Verde. So open for creativity.
We do lots of work related to green buildings and homes but we are not home inspectors so a home graphic by itself is nice but it could imply the wrong message.
The same for leaves and trees; can potentially work but also may imply the wrong message that we are landscapers.
We like different shades of green perhaps blue as well.

Another school year, another batch of high school students worrying about standardized tests.
But thanks to an alliance between the BSA and eKnowledge, some of a parent's financial worry about getting ready for those tests is gone.
That's because the test prep company eKnowledge in 2010 announced that its SAT and ACT PowerPrep software — each worth $200 — will be available free to members of the Boy Scouts of America. The donations are supported in part by National Football League and Major League Baseball players.
There are separate versions for the SAT and the ACT, and you can order one or both at no cost. Customers must still pay shipping and handling fees, which total less than $14 for each version of the software that you order.
According to a BSA release about the partnership, the software "includes more than 20 hours of video instruction, 3,000 files of supplemental test prep material, thousands of interactive diagnostic tools, sample questions, practice tests, and graphic teaching illustrations." Plus, it's compatible with PCs and Macs.
How to claim your free software

On Wednesday, David Kimaiyo, Kenya's inspector general of police, launched a tirade at the Kenyan press, threatening to arrest and prosecute two journalists for their coverage of the Westgate Mall rescue operation.
Around 1 p.m., Kimaiyo held a press conference accusing the reporters of "provoking propaganda" and inciting Kenyans against authorities in their coverage of the Westgate Mall security operations, according to news reports. The inspector general singled out two investigative reporters, John-Allan Namu and Mohamed Ali, for their story on Westgate aired by KTN Television called "The Inside Story" or "Jechu Pivo" last Friday, Namu told CPJ.
"If you are one of the people in KTN carrying out such offences, we cannot fail to come for you, we will deal with you firmly," Kimaiyo said at the press conference. Namu was perplexed at the warnings since all media houses covered the Westgate operations. "They seem to think we maligned the military, spinning a narrative against the KDF [Kenya Defense Force], but I cannot see where these accusations are rooted in reality," Namu said.
Authorities were incensed over reporting that exposed command confusion during the Westgate mall operations, and which revealed at least one police officer was shot and killed by the Kenyan army and CCTV footage appeared to show soldiers looting the shopping mall.
The chief of Kenya's defense forces, Gen. Julius Karanji, denied the claims, according to news reports, saying the soldiers had merely taken drinking water "to quench their thirst" and opened safes in a "sanitization exercise." Kenyans on social media also were quick to identify failures in the operation, including conflicting government reports in the wake of the Westgate mall attack, a four-day siege that left at least 67 people dead. Official claims of five attackers killed without any evidence of the bodies, for instance, were highlighted in the press and mocked via Twitter. In reaction, Joseph Ole Lenku, the cabinet secretary for the interior, charged bloggers were "not patriotic enough" during an interview on Citizen TV in late September. The police chief expressed similar sentiments to the press on Wednesday, telling reporters that "we must be loyal to the system and the government of the day," according to news reports.
Self-censorship took hold of the American press in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attack to the point where few questioned the lack of evidence to justify invading Iraq. It would appear authorities in Kenya expect similar broad, unquestioning media support for their handling of terrorist attacks here.
Fortunately, the Kenyan press cannot be intimidated. Kenya's media fraternity protested loudly today with the Kenya Editors' Guild challenging the inspector general to prove his allegation of incitement and to clarify why his officers were harassing journalists in the course of their duty, news reports said. The privately owned Daily Nation ran the headline "Intimidation" on the front page, while The Standard published a cartoon with a journalist's lips sealed with a padlock...and a government official walking away with the key. "It's a sad day for the media in Kenya," leading private broadcaster Citizen TV said in a strong editorial, "who are witnessing the unacceptable return of the outdated repression of the fundamental freedoms and rights integral to the industry."
After considerable protest by the media, the police rescinded the threat of arrest late Thursday, according to news reports. But the battle to protect Kenya's vibrant press continues. The police warning came as Parliament published two media bills that the private Nation Media Group describes as "draconian" for allowing authorities too much control over media operations and content, the Daily Nation reported.

Ambrosia Imports
I am a California wine importer, buying and selling fine wines, especially the heralded dessert white wines of Tokaj, Hungary. I am a sole proprietor, and this is my first foray into the fine wine business. I want to share the experience of indulging in the world's ultimate wines.
My logo is intended to attract knowlegable wine lovers, who tend to be sophisticated, educated and expect the finest. Male and female, of wine-drinking age. The majority of my audience will be Californians, but the wines will be sold across the United States, where ever it is legal to do so. Most of my audience will be existing wine drinkers, who are already familiar with the traditional grape varities such as cabernet and chardonnay but less so with the grape varieties I will be selling such as furmint, muscat,
I am very open to your ideas---that is why I'm doing this after all. But I will be selecting a design which is clever, classy, eye-catching, and cleary indicates to the audience that my business is fine wines. My company name is Ambrosia Imports, which should be part of the logo. Ambrosia connotes Greco Roman Antiquity, which could be incorporated into the logo---a column, a bust, grape leaves, etc.; Most of the wines I sell are not red; they are dessert wines of golden hue. Have fun!

Robinson Chirinos hit an early three-run homer, Adrian Beltre connected again and the Texas Rangers ended a six-game losing streak with a 5-3 victory over the New York Mets on Saturday night.
Alex Rios had three hits, including an RBI double off longtime Texas nemesis Bartolo Colon in a four-run first, and Colby Lewis (6-5) pitched six steady innings to help the Rangers win for only the third time in 17 games.
The latest news from around North Texas.
They snapped a 10-game skid on the road, their longest since a club-record slide of 12 games in 2003, with their first win away from home since June 16 in Oakland.
Travis d'Arnaud homered for the Mets, who have dropped five of six and eight of 10. David Wright had a double in four at-bats as he returned to the lineup after missing seven games with a sore left shoulder.

Sher of What Did You Eat? - another terrific PPNer - shares this wonderful Gemelli Alla Matriciana. Seriously...how delicious does this look?
Haalo of Cook (Almost) Anything brings a great dish, especially lovely for party finger foods. Check out the Rice Paper Rolls Stuffed with Vermicelli and other goodies.
And I sort of feel like the host who thought everyone was coming tomorrow and got caught with her hair in rollers and big fuzzy pink bunny slippers with nothing to serve but leftovers! Oh well, this Mascarpone Mac 'n Cheese was tasty indeed - even without a crust!
Don't forget to join in the fun for next week and please visit the Presto Pasta Gang on Facebook.
As always...a very big thank you to all of you for playing along and visiting every week!!!

"I love the people I photograph. I mean, they're my friends. I've never met most of them or I don't know them at all, yet through my images I live with them." Bruce Gilden
Hello Everyone!
Thank you for submitting your images to StreetWise Flickr group for our 'Winter Showcase.'
We were touched by the soulfulness and warmth of your photos – beautiful winter scenes (whether in tropical or snowy settings) of people (and animals) looking out windows, windows as frames, windows reflecting cityscapes, people in public transportation, carrying umbrellas, lone figures in urban landscapes and photos of people connecting hand in hand, or embracing one another. Even in the often darker, bleaker times of the winter months, when taking street photos can present a challenge, so many of your images captured what it means to be human – our fragility and our connection to one another.
We are inspired by this international group and it is our honor for Ilana and I to curate so many wonderful artists from around the world, and to ultimately, share the showcases with you.
Ilana and I find it very difficult to choose such few images for the showcase from all those that were submitted and we want you to know that we appreciate each and every post!
As a reminder, we choose images for the showcase that are in keeping with our group's intention and guidelines focusing on key aspects of street photography composition, timing, juxtaposition, catching the decisive moment rather than relying on too much aping or images that are more art oriented or painterly.
If you are a street photographer, please consider joining our growing community. To those new to our community, welcome – it's great to have you join us!
Please continue to post your images to StreetWise Flickr group for showcase submissions:
Please note that StreetWise Facebook page is NOT for posting photographs but for sharing information/discussions, thank you!
A special thank you to Joanne.
We hope you feel inspired by this showcase and our wonderful group. Until next time, happy shooting everyone!
Many congratulations to the following artists for being featured in our showcase including:
Basak Aytek, Daniel Vondav, Donna Donato, Dina Alfasi, Paula Betlem, Carlein, Kathy Clay, Vanessa Vox, Mark Fearnley, Allyson, Susan Rennie, Armineh Hovanesian, Julia Nathanson, Isabelle Wolter, Marc Zetterblom, Ger van den Elzen, Michel Dev1, Karen Axelrad, Michael Beresin, Laurence Bouchard, Paul Yan, Ocean Morisset, Christine Mignon, Myrna, Giulia Baita, Nick Kenrick, Luison, JH McB, Dixon Hamby, Valeria Cammareri, and Rene Valencia

Technical Paper
A Numerical Study to Control Combustion Duration of Hydrogen-Fueled HCCI by Using Multi-Zone Chemical Kinetics Simulation
An engine cycle simulation code with detailed chemical kinetics has been developed to study Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) combustion with hydrogen as the fuel. In order to attain adequate combustion duration, resulting from the self-accelerating nature of the chemical reaction, fuel and temperature inhomogeneities have been brought to the calculation by considering the combustion chamber to have various temperature and fuel distributions. Calculations have been done under various conditions including both perfectly homogeneous and inhomogeneous cases, changing the degree of inhomogeneity. The results show that intake gas temperature is more dominant on ignition timing of HCCI than equivalence ratio and that there is a possibility to control HCCI by introducing appropriate temperature inhomogeneity to in-cylinder mixture.

Crohn's Disease
Crohn's disease is a form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It usually affects the intestines, but may occur anywhere from the mouth to the end of the rectum (anus).
Ulcerative colitis is a related condition.
Alternative Names:
Inflammatory bowel disease – Crohn's disease; Regional enteritis; Ileitis; Granulomatous ileocolitis; IBD- Crohn's disease
The exact cause of Crohn's disease is unknown. It is a condition that occurs when your body's immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys healthy body tissue (autoimmune disorder).
People with Crohn's disease have ongoing (chronic) inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract). Crohn's disease may involve the small intestine, the large intestine, the rectum, or the mouth. The inflammation causes the intestinal wall to become thick.
The following seem to play a role in Crohn's disease:
- Your genes and family history (people of Jewish descent are at higher risk)
- Environmental factors
- Tendency of your body to over-react to normal bacteria in the intestines
- Smoking
Crohn's disease may occur at any age. It usually occurs in people between ages 15 – 35.
Symptoms depend on what part of the gastrointestinal tract is affected. Symptoms range from mild to severe, and can come and go with periods of flare-ups.
The main symptoms of Crohn's disease are:
- Crampy abdominal (belly area) pain
- Fever
- Fatigue
- Loss of appetite
- Pain with passing stool (tenesmus)
- Persistent, watery diarrhea
- Weight loss
Other symptoms may include:
- Constipation
- Eye inflammation
- Fistulas (usually around the rectal area, may cause draining of pus, mucus, or stools)
- Joint pain and swelling
- Mouth ulcers
- Rectal bleeding and bloody stools
- Skin lumps or sores (ulcers)
- Swollen gums
A physical examination may reveal an abdominal mass or tenderness, skin rash, swollen joints, or mouth ulcers.
Tests to diagnose Crohn's disease include:
- Barium enema or upper GI series
- Colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy
- Computed tomography (CT scan) of the abdomen
- Endoscopy, including capsule endoscopy
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the abdomen
- Enteroscopy
A stool culture may be done to rule out other possible causes of the symptoms.
This disease may also alter the results of the following tests:
- Albumin
- C-reactive protein
- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate
- Fecal fat
- Hemoglobin
- Liver function tests
- White blood cell count
Diet and Nutrition:
You should eat a well-balanced, healthy diet. Include enough calories, protein, and nutrients from a variety of food groups.
No specific diet has been shown to make Crohn's symptoms better or worse. Specific food problems may vary from person to person.
However, certain types of foods can make diarrhea and gas worse. To help ease symptoms, try:
- Eating small amounts of food throughout the day.
- Drinking lots of water (drink small amounts often throughout the day).
- Avoiding high-fiber foods (bran, beans, nuts, seeds, and popcorn).
- Avoiding fatty, greasy or fried foods and sauces (butter, margarine, and heavy cream).
- Limiting dairy products if you have problems digesting dairy fats. Try low-lactose cheeses, such as Swiss and cheddar, and an enzyme product, such as Lactaid, to help break down lactose.
- Avoiding foods that you know cause gas, such as beans.
Ask your doctor about extra vitamins and minerals you may need:
- Iron supplements (if you are anemic)
- Calcium and vitamin D supplements to help keep your bones strong
- Vitamin B12 to prevent anemia
You may feel worried, embarrassed, or even sad and depressed about having a bowel disease. Other stressful events in your life, such as moving, a job loss, or the loss of a loved one can worsen digestive problems.
Ask your doctor or nurse for tips on how to manage your stress.
You can take medication to treat very bad diarrhea. Loperamide (Imodium) can be bought without a prescription. Always talk to your doctor or nurse before using these drugs.
Other medicines to help with symptoms include:
- Fiber supplements may help your symptoms. You can buy psyllium powder (Metamucil) or methylcellulose (Citrucel) without a prescription. Ask your doctor about these products and all laxative medicines.
- Acetaminophen (Tylenol) for mild pain. Avoid drugs such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), or naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn) which can make your symptoms worse.
Your doctor may also give you a prescription for stronger pain medicines, such as:
- Aminosalicylates (5-ASAs) – medicines that help control mild to moderate symptoms. Some forms of the drug are taken by mouth; others must be given rectally.
- Corticosteroids (prednisone and methylprednisolone) – treat moderate to severe Crohn's disease. They may be taken by mouth or inserted into the rectum.
- Medicines such as azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine – quiet the immune system's reaction.
- Antibiotics – treat abscesses or fistulas.
- Biologic therapy – used for severe Crohn's disease that does not respond to any other types of medication. Medicines in this group include Infliximab (Remicade) and adalimumab (Humira), certolizumab (Cimzia), and natalizumab (Tysabri).
Some people with Crohn's disease may need surgery to remove a damaged or diseased part of the intestine (bowel resection). In some cases the entire large intestine (colon) is removed, with or without the rectum.
Patients who have Crohn's disease that does not respond to medications may need surgery to treat problems such as:
- Bleeding (hemorrhage)
- Failure to grow (in children)
- Fistulas (abnormal connections between the intestines and another area of the body)
- Infections (abscesses)
- Narrowing (strictures) of the intestine
- Ileostomy
- Large bowel resection
- Small bowel resection
- Total abdominal colectomy
- Total proctocolectomy with ileostomy
There is no cure for Crohn's disease. The condition is marked by periods of improvement followed by flare-ups of symptoms.
If you stop or change your medications for any reason, let your doctor know right away.
You have a higher risk for small bowel and colon cancer if you have Crohn's disease.
- Abscess
- Bowel obstructions
- Erythema nodosum
- Slow growth and sexual development in children
- Swelling of the joints
- Lesions in the eye
- Nutritional deficiency (commonly vitamin B12 deficiency)
- Pyoderma gangrenosum
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if:
- You have very bad abdominal pain
- You cannot control your diarrhea with diet changes and drugs
- You have lost weight, or a child is not gaining weight
- You have rectal bleeding, drainage, or sores
- You have a fever that lasts for more than 2 or 3 days, or a fever higher than 100.4°F without an illness
- You have nausea and vomiting that lasts for more than a day
- You have skin sores or lesions that do not heal
- You have joint pain that prevents you from doing your everyday activities
- You have side effects from any drugs prescribed for your condition
The Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of American offers support groups throughout the United States.

Day-Old Baby Girl Found Safe With Mother
Jamie Martini and her baby girl are in satisfactory condition at a hospital.
Oct. 26, 2013 -- A day-old baby girl who police say was taken by her mother just moments after she was delivered was found safe today.
Both Jamie Martini, 20, of Mill Creek, Wash., and her infant daughter, Annabelle, were found by law enforcement officials on the Tulalip Reservation where Martini had been known to stay, Mill Creek Police Officer Ian Durkee told ABCNews.com.
The baby was checked by emergency medical personnel at the scene and then taken to Providence Hospital in Everett, Wash., where she was in satisfactory condition, according to a Mill Creek Police Department news release. Martini was also taken to the hospital for treatment and was in satisfactory condition as well.
Durkee said it was not known whether authorities were following up on a tip when officers located the mother and her baby.
"Tulalip [Reservation] is one of the addresses where [Martini] has been known to stay," he said. "We consider her homeless."
An Amber Alert was issued this morning after Martini delivered her infant daughter at an apartment at 4:30 a.m. Friday and was suspected of taking off with the newborn, according to the Amber Alert.
The infant was suffering from "life-threatening medical conditions and is in need of medical attention," police said.
The midwife who assisted at the home birth called 911 after the baby girl was having difficulty breathing and her skin turned a grayish color, ABC News' Seattle affiliate KOMO-TV reported. But Martini apparently canceled the request for paramedics and decided to take the baby to a local hospital herself, Mill Creek Police Officer Ian Durkee said.
"They never arrived at any local hospital, either in Snohomish County or in King County," Durkee told KOMO-TV.
Investigators are looking into criminal charges for the mother, but they first need to get a better understanding of what happened when Martini took off with the newborn, Durkee said.

DEARBORN HEIGHTS, Mich., June 22 (UPI) -- Municipal workers in a Michigan city said they freed a baby raccoon that became stuck head first in a large iron sewer grate.
Dearborn Heights Emergency Manager Robert Ankrapp said Department of Public Works Director Bill Zimmer was in his front yard Wednesday morning when he noticed the baby raccoon, which apparently became stuck while climbing out of a storm drain along Ecorse Creek, the Detroit Free Press reported Friday.
Ankrapp said Zimmer called on DPW colleagues Don Sepanski, Sean Moylan and Carl Kennedy to help him carefully remove the manhole cover.
The emergency manager said the crew used "a quantity of vegetable oil and dish soap ... and a little TLC" to free the raccoon.
"The furry friend was freed and placed in a cage for a trip to the DPW yard for a much-needed shower," Ankrapp said. "Once cleaned, watered and cooled down, the unharmed raccoon was set free in a nearby wooded area to enjoy the rest of the day's heat wave in a familiar (but cooler) habitat."

afogel necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 204 diseños de 46 diseñadores freelance.
Hello designers. My name is Adam, I am an avid road and mountain biker (bicycles, not motorcycles) and got into the business of selling high-end bicycle parts about one year ago. I currently sell products through a retail store in California and am now in the process of starting a new company called Pro Bike Supply to sell products on the Internet. I do not manufacture any products, I simply buy the best products in the industry (wheels, handlebars, pedals, cranksets, seats, etc) at wholesale and resell them at retail.
Customers are primarily men between the ages of 18-55. They often have Type A personalities and are successful in their professional careers. They have money to spend. They could easily spend $1000 on the website on small parts for their bicycle simply because their friend just purchased these new parts and because the parts are lighter weight than their current parts. If necessary, they will lie to their wives about how much they're spending on these components :)
These customers are OBSESSED with their sport and their bicycles. They love their bikes, they love upgrading small components on their bikes, they love the customization, and they love showing off their bikes out on the road or on the trail. They have a lot of PRIDE in their bicycle and in their performance on the bicycle. Riding bikes is what these guys do because it allows them to feel like they are breaking out of their normal routine. They get to meet up with the boys and escape responsibility for a few hours.
- The logo should give the impression that there's a large, well-financed company behind this website. A reliable and professional operation.
- Customers often know exactly what they need to purchase. They expect the store to be professional, friendly, and to carry the best parts and selection with good customer service. The logo should instill this confidence while looking cool and rugged.
- The logo should be attractive and clean but not too cute. Our customers are not looking for cute.
- The logo will NOT be featured on any products, only on the website. The goal is to develop a cool/trustworthy storefront. I believe this is different than creating a brand which sells it's own products.
- No color scheme has been selected for this website. The website design will be based on the logo.
- The logo will likely show up in advertisements including website banner ads and magazine ads. It needs to be legible when displayed in this context.
- We'd like to see both "Pro Bike Supply" and "probikesupply.com" as options.
- Competitors:
a) http://www.competitivecyclist.com
b) http://www.wrenchscience.com
c) http://www.universalcycles.com
- Products that we'll be selling on the website include:
a) http://www.foxracingshox.com/bike
b) http://www.campagnolo.com/jsp/en/index/index.jsp
c) http://www.envecomposites.com/
I've attached some photos of the types of customers we will have.
Best of luck!

Dear everybody,
I am in the process of buying a Freedom 39 Express as a live aboard in Gibraltar. It has been used as a live aboard only for 5-6 years but i want to get it sailing ready. So I have a few questions before making the final decisions. Hope you guys could help.
1) 1 have read about the problems with the mast. Is this a real problem and should i stay away? The vendor have lived there for 5 years (no sailing) and dont have a clue about the conditions. What should i look for and is there a easy fix?
2) I would like to do some sailing with it after i am done fixing it up. As a Mediterranean cruiser i guess its more than good enough. But would any of you be comfortable crossing the Atlantic with it?
3) How fast should it be with good sails? I see a lot of conflicting info regarding speed on these boats.
4) The vendor wants 30k £ for it. The interior is in good condition but the hull and i also guess the sails new refreshing. Engine is the original Perkins 4801 with 2000h on it. Is this a price you think i could get back if the boat is in good sailing conditions?
Thanks in advance. And hope for some helpful answers
Best regards

YouTomb Joins Chilling Effects In Tracking Takedowns
from the tracking-the-takedowns deptThe DMCA lets copyright holders send takedown messages to various sites, demanding allegedly infringing content be taken offline. It's been rather successful in doing that. A few years ago, a great site, Chilling Effects sprung up to track all sorts of takedown notices (not just having to do with copyright, but any kind of cease & desist threats -- though DMCA takedowns are common). It's a joint effort by the EFF and a bunch of universities, and has been invaluable in tracking the efforts by some to threaten people into taking down various types of content. Now, in a similar effort, MIT is sponsoring a site that will track takedowns of videos on YouTube. The site is creatively named YouTomb. This isn't to say that the copyright holders are wrong in sending the takedown notices -- but it's important to collect information and data on how often these tools are being used and by whom to get a better understanding of whether the system really makes sense.

ROCHESTER — Police say Karen Pollard was acquainted with the pedestrian who was struck by the vehicle her husband was driving on Dec. 29. Leslie Pollard has been charged with driving while intoxicated and felony conduct after an accident in connection with the incident.
Karen, one of two deputy city managers, was reportedly a passenger in the Ford Taurus her husband was operating when the vehicle struck a Rochester woman who was walking on Lowell Street.
Police say Leslie Pollard fled the scene after striking the woman, and when the couple returned to their Hemlock Street home, Karen called 911 at Leslie's request stating her husband "may have hit something," according to a police affidavit.
The pedestrian, who suffered a broken collarbone in the accident, had been at Club Victoire with the Pollards the night of the accident, according to Police Capt. Paul Toussaint. He said the pedestrian and the Pollards were at the club together during at least some portion of the evening before the accident.
On Tuesday, Karen is scheduled to appear for a court hearing in relation to the case against her husband. As part of their investigation, police executed a search warrant for Karen's city-owned cell phone because they believe the phone may contain evidence in the case.
But Karen so far has refused to provide police with the password to access the phone, and police can't access the device. The state has made a motion to compel Karen to disclose the password, and a hearing on the issue is scheduled for Tuesday.
According to the state's motion to compel, "Karen Pollard is obstructing the execution of a lawfully obtained search warrant."
When asked about Karen's decision not to disclose the password, Karen's attorney, Jim Rosenberg, stated Friday that Karen sought legal advice before making important legal decisions. He gave no comment on why she would not disclose the passcode, but Rosenberg did state Karen is interested in working cooperatively with city officials and the county attorney's office in regard to the investigation.
Toussaint said Friday the investigation is being conducted by Rochester police and not the county's attorney's office. He said police see no conflict of interest regarding the case against Leslie, and that police can conduct a "fair and impartial investigation" into his and Karen's activities despite Karen being a city employee.
Prosecution of the case is being handled by the Strafford County Attorney's Office because Leslie Pollard is facing a felony-level charge, said Toussaint.
City Manager Daniel Fitzpatrick could not be reached for comment Friday regarding the city's position in the case, or Karen's employment status.
When asked about any potential future charges against Karen, Toussaint said police have no probable cause at this time to charge her with obstructing an investigation.
Police applied for a search warrant for Karen's work phone on Jan. 6, after police learned she sent text messages to Police Chief Michael Allen asking for help.
According to Police Detective Kenneth Tapscott's affidavit, which was used to support the search warrant for the phone, Karen sent messages to Allen asking for help while police officers were conducting their investigation at her home, and twice after her husband was arrested.
Allen said Thursday he did not respond to those messages.

WebMark Designs brauchte ein neues Website Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 65 Designs von 22 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Design a cool, techy/corporate looking IT business web site. Provide us with PSD files. Site will be HTML based, not flash.
On-site Computer & Network Services is a small business
which provides IT services to both corporate and residential customers. Their
current site is over 8 years old and is in need of a redesign (http://www.oscs.com.au). The
services which OSCS provide include:
- Onsite
computer repairs & maintenance
- Retail
selling of computer hardware
- Installation
of cabling, telephony, alarms & surveillance
Hardware sales & installation
- Reselling
of VOIP network services (ie. Engin) We need you to design the graphics for the home page of the site.
The winning designer must do the following:
- You
will supply us with the Adobe Photoshop PSD file, while we will code the
site using HTML and CSS
- Rollover
styling of buttons (eg. off-state, over-state & selected-state)
- Visit our web site to download files for the project including a wireframe layout, the company logo, and some photography of a company van you may want to use.
- Site
should look light-weight, clean, professional and "techy" (more
corporate than personal)
- Use
green, blue and white colour scheme (for examples of the colour scheme see
the current site and these graphics of the van and logo. However,
you can use slightly different shades if you wish)
- Content
area should have white background (for product images)
- 764px
fixed-width graphic design
- Preferably
a sans-serif font for any text.
- Leave
space under the "Subscribe" box for miscellaneous content such
as "Virus Advisory" feeds
- We're
willing to spend up to 20 credits on iStockPhoto for any stock photography
you would like to use (this will not come out of the prize money).
- Don't
feel too restricted by the wire frame. It is a guide as to where we want
content elements, not what we want them to look like.Other Notes
- Demographic
is mainly small to medium-sized businesses (but still some non-corporate
users using the site)
- "Australia-wide
delivery!" (can be used as some sort of tag line if you want, but
this shouldn't feature too prominently as it's not an online store)
- Client
liked the look and feel of:- http://www.gsoft.biz
- We
like the feel of sites such as: - http://www.lubemobile.com.au
- Preferably,
no Flash will be used unless you want to incorporate it in the form of an
animated banner. If you choose to do this, we will also need an associated
Macromedia Flash MX .FLA file.
- Headings will be text-based so don't use
fonts that aren't "web-safe"
- Avoid
drop shadows and other such effects on button text as this will ideally be
plain text (except the big "Submit Onsite Request" button).


text: Happily surprised by sturdiness. Was looking for a desk to place in a nook in my kitchen. Didn't want to invest in something expensive but needed a "desk" which is very durable to fit my familiy's life style. I have 8 year old twins and have finally learned good construction is necessary to stand the test of time in my household. The potting bench arrived in a slender but large box. One end was torn open. This likely was the culprit in explaining the missing foot cap. I e-mailed the company and right away they contacted the manufacturer who sent out a replacement cap which I rec'd within a few days. The potting bench had a couple of dinged places on it which was a bit disappointing. However, after thinking about it for a moment, I realized within a short period of time it would likely have a "distressed" look after normal usage at my house. The assembly I did solo within an hour. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase. The potting bench is very sturdy and solid and serves as an excellent desk for me. The bonus is whenever I am ready to retire it as a desk it will be used for its intended purpose or as a work bench or craft table. Good product in my opinion.

Summer signing Nolito made an immediate impact from the bench for Spain – scoring within five minutes of entering the game just after the hour mark as La Roja beat Albania 2-0.
Manager Julen Lopetegui couldn't have asked for a better impact from the City striker. The 29 year old put the game beyond Albania after David Silva provided the assist for Diego Costa's opener with a clever cut into the box from the left before calmly slotting the ball into the opposite corner.
Kelechi Iheanacho's strike for Nigeria was also a stand out moment of the day as the Super Eagles began their World Cup qualifying campaign with a 2-1 victory away to Zambia. The City youngster linked up well with countryman and Arsenal forward Alex Iwobi throughout and it was the latter who put Nigeria ahead in the 32nd minute.
Iheanacho made it 2-0 ten minutes later- showing great composure to round the keeper and slot home from a tight angle.
Aleksandar Kolarov was involved in a high-scoring affair with Serbia who came out as 3-2 winners against Austria. The City left-back provided the vital assist for Southampton's Dusan Tadic 15 minutes from the end after failing to hold onto the lead twice.
Oleksander Zinchenko also impressed in his national colours as Ukraine beat Kosovo in a convincing 3-0 victory. The 19 year old midfielder, currently out on loan with PSV Eindhoven was the provider for Artem Kravet's goal to break the deadlock and received a warm reception when substituted on the hour mark.

Dependence is a physical change in how your body reacts to a substance. In this case, nicotine. Your body will also have a reaction when you stop using it. Nicotine can be found in tobacco products such as:
- Cigarettes
- Snuff
- Chewing tobacco
- Cigars
- Pipes
Nicotine acts on the brain's chemistry. It creates feelings of pleasure. However, the effects go away within a few minutes. Users will need to continue using nicotine to keep the good feelings going. This cycle can lead to addiction.
Risk Factors
Use of nicotine products is the main risk factor.
The risk of addiction increases with:
- Family history or exposure to smoking
- Depression
- Victims of bullying
Symptoms only develop when nicotine is not being used. This is known as withdrawal. Symptoms of withdrawal include:
- Irritability
- Craving
- Nervousness
- Headache
- Thinking and attention problems
- Trouble sleeping
- Increased appetite
Tobacco use is also associated with several serious health conditions such as:
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Chronic bronchitis
- Emphysema
- Cancers of the larynx (voice box), oral cavity, throat, esophagus, lung, colon, and others
- Coronary artery disease (CAD)
- Stroke
- Increased risk of stillbirth, infant death, low birth weight, miscarriage, premature delivery, or sudden infant death syndrome
- Alcohol or drug use disorders
- Depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, personality disorders, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
- Shorter life span
- Complications during surgery and recovery
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms, medical, and smoking history. A physical exam will be done.
A blood test can check cotinine level in your saliva or blood. This will show changes in nicotine use. The doctor may use it to check your progress.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment may involve one or more therapies. Options include:
Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT)
NRT relieves withdrawal symptoms. NRT products include:
- Nicotine gum
- Lozenges
- Nasal sprays
- Patches
- Inhalers
The chance of becoming dependent on these products is low. NRT does not create the same "feel good" feelings as nicotine.
NRT may help you to:
- Avoid smoking
- Reduce the amount of tobacco you use
- Quit and stay smoke-free
Electronic Cigarettes
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) turn liquid nicotine into a vapor. There is conflicting evidence on whether or not they may help you quit. In addition, the long-term effects of e-cigarette use are not known.
Behavioral Therapy
Behavioral therapies include:
- Counseling
- Group behavior therapy
- Telephone quit lines, cell phone programs, and text messaging programs
- Internet and computer-based programs
- Self-help classes and manuals
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy
Medicine that may help you quit include:
- Antidepressants
- Nicotine partial agonists—mimics effect of nicotine to ease withdrawal
Other medicine may help ease withdrawal symptoms. A third type may be used if you start smoking again. It blocks the pleasure feeling when you use nicotine.
The best prevention is to never use tobacco products. Try to avoid places where people are smoking as well.

Anyone that has visited my website knows I periodically update a page which has the stats for all the active caches in Maine. I have played around some today and have some information which includes all caches ever approved by gc.com to date. (My data may not be 100% accurate, but should be close)
The following graph shows the Rate of new cache approvals per month.
It's very easy to see our seasonal trends! August 2003 was the busiest month, with 54 newly approved caches.
Other information you might not know:
Maine's Oldest cache is the Fort Williams Cache (http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache...ls.aspx?ID=296), which is 3 years, 5 months, and 27 days old.
There are 14 active Maine caches that have yet to be logged. There are a few more that have DNF logs, but still not found. The oldest ones have been waiting nearly 11 months for a visitor. Who wants a FTF?
To date there have been 598 caches approved in Maine. 74 of those have been archived, leaving 524 active caches in Maine (Imcluding those temporarily disabled).
There have been 729 Caches submitted to gc.com - so that means 131 have been rejected. That's close to having ony 1 in 7 caches being approved and viewable by us memebers. I wonder if that means only 1 in 7 of us read the cache submission guidelines???
Here are the stats for all the approved Maine caches
Total Caches: 598
Caches by type:
Traditional Cache: 518 (86.6%)
Multi-Cache: 41 (6.9%)

Judy Garland (Tracie Bennett) has landed in London. She has landed in The Ritz Hotel, in a room that she is certain is smaller than any room she has ever stayed in before. She arrives with her new fiancé/manager , Mickey Deans (Erik Heger), in tow. She has recruited long-time friend, Anthony (Michael Cumpsty), a Scottish piano player that she has worked with in the past. Together,, the threesome set forth to manifest Judy's comeback of sorts, a five week enagement at the club, Talk of the Town. However, given Judy's reputation at this point for being unreliable, frequently drunk and not inclined to pay the bills she accumulates, a comeback would be nothing short of a miracle. But the three are going to try anyway.
Not long after their arrival is Judy up to the same old antics: dodging the hotel bills, breezing through rehearsals that could more aptly be called a daily stroll down memory lane, and sniffing out every prescription pill within a hundred square yards. For a while, Anthony and Mickey unite in their efforts to get Judy drug-free. Yet despite Mickey's insistence that he knows how to handle her, Judy ultimately persuades him to give her just a little taste. Once the stakes grow higher, and it is a question of cancelling the engagement, or getting Judy high enough to do the show, Mickey balks at what is best for Judy. The rest is a sickening downward spiral that neither Anthony, nor a lucid Judy can arrest.
I am not a fan of Judy Garland, so I don't have the details of her life or death committed to memory. Perhaps that is a good thing in this case, because it allows the story of End of the Rainbow to unfold for people like me in a more organic way. End of the Rainbow is a simply tragic tale of a young girl full of promise, who turned around one day to find herself on the other side of decades of substance abuse and fair-weather enablers; that she had become old, sad and the shadow of her former promise. Bennett's performance is nothing short of inspired. She glides from delightfully self-effacing, multi-talented Hollywood superstar, to the histrionic fits of a seasoned diva to crippling bouts of self-doubt, to a wailing withdrawal induced puddle of id; and she does it with amazing grace and truth.
The supporting cast and production elements were in no small measure, equally as fanstaic as the show's leading lady. Michael Cumpsty's Anthony is a humble piano player torn between the fear of reaching out to the woman he idolizes and his frustration at her obstinate self-destructiveness. Erik Heger, portraying Mickey Deans, aka husband number five, skillfully embues his character with a rich naivete that quickly darkens when the going gets rough. Special congratulations should be bestowed upon William Dudley on remarkable costume design that is both dazzling and nostalgic. Lastly, the unusal unsung heroes of any production with music, muscial director Jeffrey Saver and his orchestra accented every musical mment with a collective exclamation point or muted whispers, whatever the moment called for. Well Done!
End of the Rainbow brings an interesting question to the surface, beyond too much too soon or questionable abuse of children and drugs in the entertainment industry. The play attempts to shed light on the idea of how we choose our heroes, how we chose to diminish them or elevate them when they falter or when they succeed. The play takes an interesting look at the fetitization of fame and celebrity. Do we build people up just to tear them down? Do we love our heroes just as much in their imperfection as we do when you shine?
End of the Rainbow is showing now through April 21, 2013 at:
Ahmanson Theatre
Downtown Los Angeles at the Music Center
135 N. Grand Ave.

Photographer's Note
I've noticed there are almost no photos of the Eastern part of Gambia here, on TE. So, I'm posting a photo of Wassu, one of four sites that form the "Stone Circles of Senegâmbia", which are a World Heritage. These sites (two situated in Senegal and two in Gambia), are situated between the River Senegal and the River Gambia and they form one of the most incredible concentrations of stone circles. Only here, where I took this photo, there are 11. They can have different characteristics and they reflect a very sophisticated society.

Hi Ana, very interesting composition of Wassu and information. Well done and nice to see it. Tfs.
Best regards, Barbara

Hello Ana
An informative note - thankyou.
It`s very interesting to see how your `stone circles` differ from the ones we see on Dartmoor in England.
I thought at first when the thumbnails came up, they were anthills!
Well composed picture and light management.
Best Wishes

Je ne connaissais pas l'existence de ces cercles de pierres gambiens que tu me fais découvrir par cette note et cette photo intéressantes.

Hello Ana,
After very long journey and even longer after-journey recovery Im again able to view and comment all the beautiful TE photographs.
Excellent close-up photo with very nicely balanced colors, perfect light, very good clarity. The well-chosen tight crop eliminates all unwanted distractions. Well done.
Wish you and your family a Happy, Healthy & Prosperous New Year.

Hi Ana
An intriguing site and a real feel of the grand scale of this place giving an idea of the size of the structures. Lovely green open landscape but those amazing ancient stone-circles are so mysterious - why and how? We'll never know, I guess. The big clean blue perfectly complements the subject matter really well and no doubt that the light and details are superb in this. informative, supported by a wonderful capture. Well done, tfs
Best regards
dekanski (6639) 2013-12-30 5:10
I admit that I have not heard of these stone circles. Image itself is not impressive, but fact that you put it on TE, with the note you wrote, was more than enough to praise it!
boa (8039) 2013-12-30 7:35
Hi Ana,
it is interesting to see other parts of Gambia than the coast. I have never heard about these stone circles before but they look interesting, religious symbols? A good contribution for TE, tfs!
Happy New Year!
