I was moved. I shuddered when I thought of the possible consequences of my consent, but I felt that there was some justice in his argument. His tale and the feelings he now expressed proved him to be a creature of fine sensations, and did I not as his maker owe him all the portion of happiness that it was in my power to bestow? He saw my change of feeling and continued,
"If you consent, neither you nor any other human being shall ever see us again; I will go to the vast wilds of South America. My food is not that of man; I do not destroy the lamb and the kid to glut my appetite; acorns and berries afford me sufficient nourishment. My companion will be of the same nature as myself and will be content with the same fare. We shall make our bed of dried leaves; the sun will shine on us as on man and will ripen our food. The picture I present to you is peaceful and human, and you must feel that you could deny it only in the wantonness of power and cruelty. Pitiless as you have been towards me, I now see compassion in your eyes; let me seize the favourable moment and persuade you to promise what I so ardently desire."
"You propose," replied I, "to fly from the habitations of man, to dwell in those wilds where the beasts of the field will be your only companions. How can you, who long for the love and sympathy of man, persevere in this exile? You will return and again seek their kindness, and you will meet with their detestation; your evil passions will be renewed, and you will then have a companion to aid you in the task of destruction. This may not be; cease to argue the point, for I cannot consent."
"How inconstant are your feelings! But a moment ago you were moved by my representations, and why do you again harden yourself to my complaints? I swear to you, by the earth which I inhabit, and by you that made me, that with the companion you bestow I will quit the neighbourhood of man and dwell, as it may chance, in the most savage of places. My evil passions will have fled, for I shall meet with sympathy! My life will flow quietly away, and in my dying moments I shall not curse my maker."
His words had a strange effect upon me. I compassionated him and sometimes felt a wish to console him, but when I looked upon him, when I saw the filthy mass that moved and talked, my heart sickened and my feelings were altered to those of horror and hatred. I tried to stifle these sensations; I thought that as I could not sympathize with him, I had no right to withhold from him the small portion of happiness which was yet in my power to bestow.
"You swear," I said, "to be harmless; but have you not already shown a degree of malice that should reasonably make me distrust you? May not even this be a feint that will increase your triumph by affording a wider scope for your revenge?"
"How is this? I must not be trifled with, and I demand an answer. If I have no ties and no affections, hatred and vice must be my portion; the love of another will destroy the cause of my crimes, and I shall become a thing of whose existence everyone will be ignorant. My vices are the children of a forced solitude that I abhor, and my virtues will necessarily arise when I live in communion with an equal. I shall feel the affections of a sensitive being and become linked to the chain of existence and events from which I am now excluded."

Vacations to Fethiye Oludeniz, SouthWest Mediterranean Turkey Destinations, World's Best Beach Vacations
Filed under Beach Vacations, Turkey Vacations
Fethiye is located in SouthWest Mediterranean Turkey, connected to all other cities by three highways and reached very easily. Dalaman International Airport is as close as 50 km. to the town centre. During the tourist season one can find many flights from major European cities to Fethiye. Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and warm, wet winters prevails in the region temperatures are approximately 30°C in summers and usually not less than 12°C in winters. Sea-water temperature is hardly below 17°C all year round. Fethiye is also ideal for people who enjoy something a little more adventurous. Scuba-diving, parachuting, canoeing, horse-riding, jeep and truck safaris, rafting and trekking are just some of the alternatives provided.
Fethiye, one of the oldest towns on the Lycian Coast, is also one of the most preferred and frequented towns on Turkey's Mediterranean shores. The town is situated on a very secluded bay, which is a natural marina, strewn with islands. The marina shelters large and small leisure and charter boats as well as fishing boats, and is visited by numerous cruise lines.
Oludeniz Beach is surely one of the best beaches in the world. Such clean warm turquoise waters, countless shades of blue, perfect white shingle sand and nothing but sunshine for most of the year – so come and discover it yourself. It is surrounded in the east by Kıdrak and the Valley of Butterflies and, in the west, by Gemile and coves at the mouth of the valleys descending from the foot of Babadag The sand and pebbles of the vast coastline of the Beicegiz beach, carried in the direction of northwest by the waves and the wind, create a barrier between the open sea and the calm lagoon. That is why the region is called Olüdeniz, meaning stiI as a cadaver. The lagoon reaches a depth of approximately 40 meters towards the north, while it becomes shallow, down to 5 to 1 meters. in the southern part. The Kumburnu Strait, at the entrance of the lagoon from the open sea, is narrow and shallow, with a width of about 50 meters and a depth of 8-9 meters.
All along the Belcekiz beach, -a bit more expensive- you can find everything to eat and drink. The bars and restaurants are everytime ready for your service. The place which is called the Blue Lagoon is a National Park, which is fee-payed passing. Again, there are lots of things to eat, drink, and again, full of entertainment like water sports and beach volley, showers and WC. Besides, Ölüdeniz, is one of the most ideal places in the world for Paragliding. To make this sport, you don't have to be experienced. All you have to do is, to choose which company to fly with, among lots of the agencies including Turkish Aeronautical Association.
Oludeniz – Babadag Flight Zone: Location; Mount Baba, which is located in Oludeniz/Fethiye in the province of Mugla, is 7 km inside inland. It rises just behind the lagoon of Oludeniz and faces southward. The take off runway is reached via a 45 minute drive from Oludeniz.
Flight Season: Flights can be performed between April and October.
Regional Characteristics: Oludeniz, which is the first place where paragliding is performed in Turkey, has a world – wide fame. Its unique nature, sun and sea is enchanting thousands of national and foreign tourists every year, and has a structure appropriate for all kinds of outdoor activity. There is no transportation, accommodation and nutrition problems within the developed touristic center, region. Yacht tours are also drawing attention in the area. Mount Baba is preferred as trekking and camping area during summer and winter.

Limitations on Ourselves?
Sometimes the thing that is holding you back are...............is all in your head
Limitations on Ourselves? The illusions, judgement and interpretations we make for ourselves could be hilarious. Look at the picture this is funny for #LISA-on-the-go and yet then realizes the limitations we put on ourselves. What if we let down the guard? Let it all go; imagine where life could lead us. In addition to releasing the energy and thoughts we use in our minds that is taking up space. How would life look for you? #LISAonthego says life would feel more free, peaceful, being in the moment and not being held back. This visualization is an eyeopener on how Lisaonthego holds her own life back and thinking everyone else has the answers. The goal now is to look forwards in the moment, let go and be free. An affirmation Lisaonthego came up with a few years ago: when she does what others want her to do she is angry with herself and others appear happy with her and when she does what resonates and feels right for her she is at peace and others appear angry. As time goes on other judgements, interpretations are on the others and learning it truly doesn't reflect who you are as a person. Others don't walk in our shoes and they truly don't know our inner most thoughts. These thoughts and feelings that we process daily aren't communicated; otherwise our days would be filled and focused on the ego. When our true meaning is to trust our spirit, be in the moment and know all perfect. We are, where we are, to be and every moment is perfect (easier to say than understand it in those moments when life throws the curve balls).

There is also code which depends on BDB that is compatible with the AGPLv3 legally, but whose deployment would then be restricted in ways the users would not be expecting.) > As far as I am aware the most prominent users of Berkeley DB are > moving away from the library anyway ... There are actually very few true alternatives to BDB. While there are many KVP (key value pair) stores [1] not many are transactional, allow multi-version concurrency control [2] and support multi-threaded and multi-process access. BDB is all of the above, and in addition the BDB API has become very widely used over nearly 30 years. And of course the BSD license allowed BDB to be embedded in a huge amount of software - like the BSD networking stack, it turns up just about everywhere. So there are three things to think about in a replacement: 1. Is the licensing as suitable as the BSD license has been, and is the primary maintainer likely to do what Oracle just did to BDB? 2. Are the features at least as good as BDB, and is the API close enough to make replacement reasonably easy? 3. BDB is very old code. When replacing it can we also adopt modern approaches more suited to modern hardware and use cases? I've looked at all of the KVP options I am aware of and consulted people who specialise in the space and can only see one that fits each of these well. MDB from the OpenLDAP project, http://symas.com/mdb/ . As to point 1, the rights holders of MDB need to make a public statement, but I have asked them in private and in any case the OpenLDAP history speaks for itself. As to point 2, MDB provides a superset of the KVP-specific features of BDB, and the API is similar to BDB but somewhat simpler. As to point 3, MDB is a from-scratch implementation in the modern world. MDB object code is a tiny fraction of BDB, and by adopting a memory-mapped architecture and dispensing with caching and locking it relies on modern operating system features rather than trying to implement them internally. This means greatly increased performance and very much smaller windows for corruption to occur. MDB has very clean support for concurrency compared to BDB, which makes it much more suitable for modern applications. There is an technical discussion of MDB here: http://symas.com/mdb/20120829-LinuxCon-MDB-txt.pdf . Some performance data has been published, one simple test that has a minimum of imaginable bias is to compare the SQLite3 API that comes with Oracle BDB with the SQLite3 ported to MDB. The other obvious speed test (that has had reproducible data published) is with OpenLDAP, which has pluggable back ends including both BDB and MDB. I'll be delighted if someone can suggest something that is even more suitable than MDB, but so far I haven't seen it. Looking at the Debian archive, packages with BDB dependencies are as follows (MDB integration has been marked where it exists, currently about 10% of the packages.): 389-ds-base animals apr-util apt bind9 bitcoin bmf bogofilter boxbackup cairo-dock-plug-ins canl-c++ cfengine2 cfengine3 LMDB support published chise-base c-icap citadel claws-mail clisp cyrus-imapd-2.4 cyrus-sasl2 LMDB support published db-defaults dnshistory dovecot drac dsniff evolution-data-server evolution-exchange exim4 fsvs ggcov glusterfs gridengine guile-db heimdal LMDB supported hotkeys hpsockd inn2 iproute iproute2 isync jabberd2 libetpan libnss-db libpam-abl libpam-ccreds libpinyin libqxt librcc lucene2 mailavenger memcachedb LMDB support published mit-scheme mmorph moc netatalk nmh nordugrid-arc nss-updatedb nvi onak open-cobol opendkim LMDB supported openldap LMDB supported pam pavuk perdition perl php5 poedit postfix LMDB support published prayer python2.7 LMDB supported python3.2 LMDB supported python3.3 LMDB supported python-bsddb3 radiusd-livingston redland reprepro resiprocate rhmessaging rpm ruby-bdb LMDB supported sendmail skksearch skktools sks spamprobe squid squid3 squidguard subversion syrep tcpstat torrus trustedqsl vacation webalizer webdruid wvstreams xastir xemacs21 zeroc-ice HtH, -- Dan Shearer email@example.com [1] KVP: Key value pair store is an unordered list of paired items, with an index. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attribute-value_pair .

CIT Group Inc., a provider of financing and advisory services to small businesses and middle market companies, notes that it arranged a $36 million senior secured credit facility to Punta Lima LLC, owner of the 26 MW Punta Lima Wind Farm in Puerto Rico.
The financing was structured through a sale and leaseback of the facility between Sovereign Bank N.A. (owner of Punta Lima LLC) and Gestamp Wind.
CIT Corporate Finance served as sole lead arranger in the transaction, and financing was provided by CIT Bank, the U.S. commercial bank subsidiary of CIT. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
'This wind power facility is an exciting development for renewable energy development in Puerto Rico, which traditionally relied heavily on imported petroleum products as their dominant energy source for the island," says Javier Mateache, CEO of Gestamp Wind. "We selected CIT because the firm is dedicated to its clients and because of their successful track record of supporting our sector.'

Projector Project
Our mission to be a church family that introduces broken people to Jesus is our number one priority. When technology starts to prevent us from reaching broken people with the transforming message of Christ, then it becomes a priority. We have received $4,780.45 toward a new projector. The replacement costs $5,800, including installation and updating cabling etc. We are short $1,019.50. The projector is hindering our worship, and our ability to use powerful media illustrations. Do what you can.
All-Staff Gathering
Our pastors like to meet with all those who serve in any capacity through Calvary Baptist Church. This is an opportunity for us to develop and employ our vision and celebrate what God is doing through us at CBC. Please join us Sunday Evening, October 13th at 5:30 PM.
Sponsor a Child!
If you would like to be involved in the life of a Haitan orphan, you may sponsor a child. Just ten dollars a month will help meet the needs of a child at the EBAC orphanage. The orphanage is under the direction of our missionaries, Kathy Gouker and Alice Wise. See Tammy Helmick or call the church office for the details.
Starting Point
Starting Point is designed for those interested in joining the CBC family. You will have the opportunity to meet ministry leaders and ask questions about our ministries. You will hear from our Pastors about our vision and beliefs, as well as the benefits and responsibilities of being a part of the CBC family. If you are interested, please let one of the Pastors know or call the church office.
The Great Gift Exchange
The leaves have not yet turned red, orange and yellow, but already we are thinking of our Children's Christmas Musical. Our children are excited and will soon begin practicing with director, Mrs. Pam Everly.
If you would like to be involved with the production, please sign up in the info center. There are many areas assistance is needed - staging, choreography, music or just fitting in where needed. Thank you for your help and prayer.
Calendar Party
Our Annual Calendar Party to benefit the Haitian Orphans of EBAC will be Saturday, November 9th. There is a sign-up sheet in the info-center to host a table. Please see Nancy Ziemkowsky for all of the details.
Parents ~
We are requesting that you complete an Annual Parent/Guardian Permission Slip. The information that you provide will help us to better minister to your children. Permission Slips are available in the Info-center.
How to get an Announcement out
Our mission is to connect broken people to Jesus. Our programs and activities are all sure that everybody knows what is going on and how they can be a part. With that in mind, we are asking that all announcements be turned into the church office by no later than Wednesday at noon, so we can proof everything and get it out to as many people as possible. You can call the church office or email Johnell at: firstname.lastname@example.com

If there's anyone reading this, I'd like to wish you a Happy New Year. I trust that the hangover (in the literal sense at least) of 2008 has worn off by this stage. 2008 was, overall, a good year for me photographically. I didn't get any more gear, but I tried a lot of stuff and came away with some photos which I love. As my stuff is quite weather dependant, particularly the landscapes, the last few months have not been as productive as I would have liked. I think that the summer made up for that though.
I don't see myself as having any major breakthroughs or epiphanies in my photography this year - I think it was more a year of honing skills rather than learning new ones. The main skill which I have honed has been the ability to see 'photographically' - I've developed some kind of internal viewfinder which can be switched on in my brain. I have a fair idea without even bringing a camera to my eye the effect that various compositions and focal lengths will effect a picture. I can tell what will work in 2D and what won't, and how to give illusion of depth where none exists. Of course, I still have a huge, probably infinite amount more to learn, but this is an example of how I think I've improved.
What about 2009? Well I have a number of resolutions which I will try to follow. I'm going to try and be as consistent as possible with my photography, and take pictures very regularly rather than in big lumps as I often do now. I'll also try and blog more often. As for specific photographic subjects, I think it's time to slowly ween myself off landscapes, at least to a certain extent. I would like to get more photos of people, and maybe try and do some street photography, if I can get over the terror. Limerick is not beautiful, but it's real and vibrant and interesting, and the streets of the town could be a wonderful photographic subject. I'd also like to try and do some formal studio stuff, even if its just using my little flashes and some other cheap lighting equipment. As I said, last year didn't bring many new skills, so portaits and studio lighting would be one I'd like to pick up in 2009.
Ok, that's enough of that. I took some photos on the first day of the year, although I was a bit wobbly due to being still slightly drunk from the night before... The light was suprisingly bad, and it was very difficult to get a properly exposed shot without a very long shutter speed. This brings me to my last New Year's Photographic Resolution: Stop complaining about the light!

Toronto-Centric App Review: Order a Meal With Ritual
I love apps that help me shop through brick-and-mortar stores, like how I can order a coffee and a treat at Starbucks, Tim Hortons or Second Cup simply through their funds-loaded apps on my smartphone. We are literally getting to a point in life where you don't need a physical wallet anymore. In theory, you could go about your day and shop wherever you need to, and only … [Read more...]

Five Great Places to Explore In Toronto
Thanks to travel-pro Robin Esrock and Ford Canada, I've been entirely inspired to mock up an ongoing bucket list for myself. Having lived in Toronto for over 30 years, you'd think I've done it all in such a colourful, uber-busy city, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. It's kind of an impossible task; there is just so much happening at any given moment of every day in … [Read more...]
Awesome App: Grabb Lunch Quickly in Toronto
Lunch hours can be a crazy thing, especially if you work in a fast-paced office in downtown Toronto. Before working as a Stay-at-Home-Entrepreneur, I did the Go Train mad-dash to and from Union Station, and it was always the beginning and end of the daily rush. I've been told that this rush and virtual strain to the mind-body-soul is a uniquely Toronto thing, at least for … [Read more...]

Of course that didn't come cheaply: £22,000 to be precise. This meant that many were funded by taxpayers to ferry medal-adorned and feather-hatted bigwigs to meetings. But if private buyers could afford the price, they could also fund the petrol which burned at the rate of a gallon as often as every 10 miles. Then again, they paid for the fact that M-B didn't spare any expense, with self-levelling hydropneumatic suspension, dry-sump lubrication, Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, three-speed auto 'box and power steering plus air conditioning, electric windows and central locking.
In just three years, 7780 of these Tarmac-munching dipsomaniacs were sold and left a tattoo of greatness on an impressive number of pollsters. Praise focuses on the combination of three factors: power, handling and refinement. Never before had a car of the 6.9's bulk and brute force handled as well or offered the same degree of comfort and space. Quite possibly Stuttgart's finest.

Vest: Ksubi
Tee: Shakuhachi
Jeans: Ksubi
Shoes: Wittner
Handbag: Zara
Sunglasses: Sportsgirl
Double denim is always a winner, especially when it is Ksubi double denim! My Ksubi boyfriend jeans and vest with studded eagle on the back of it teamed with a crisp white tee is the perfect classic but edgy outfit. Denim is always in fashion so these items are definitely timeless pieces in my wardrobe. All I need to do is mix them up a little! To add another level of sophistication I have popped on my holographic and clear plastic Wittner heels and my home made bow and rose necklace. For the final touches a red lip never goes astray!
I've decided that since I only get the chance to eat out at delicious places on the weekends but I have seven days worth of fashion every week I am going to focus solely on fashion during my weekly blog posts and my usual fashion + food posts on the weekends. Foodies stay tuned for my weekend posts!

For decades researchers have observed signals from space in an effort to detect extraterrestrial communication. Somewhere buried in the far-off heavens perhaps another form of life was desperately looking for cosmic cousins ... maybe by using beams of electromagnetic radiation.
There are some people who think pulsars may indicate a form of alien communication. These stars regularly emit electromagnetic radiation every few seconds (or fractions of a second) as they spin, sending pulses of energy through the universe.
The regular pulsing is reminiscent of human-like communications. It's normally regular and patterned, though some occasionally experience brief glitches in their spin rate. So far, though, no signals have borne traits of complexity or structure that would give them meaning as language or messages.
Maybe someday another civilization will send us a greeting card via the stars. If they do, hopefully we're advanced enough to understand their sentiments.

Continuing the Assembly Majority's support of providing higher education aid opportunities to immigrant youth, Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie today announced that the Assembly's Families First budget proposal includes $27 million to fund the New York State DREAM Act.
"Hundreds of thousands of immigrant students have received an education through New York State's public education system, yet for many of those students, higher education is out of reach because of their immigration status." said Speaker Heastie. "Including the DREAM Act in the Assembly budget proposal further proves our commitment to New York's immigrant youth and to providing equal access to education to all New Yorkers."
"These students work hard in New York schools only to face closed doors and lack of opportunity. Immigration status should never be a barrier to receiving a college education," said Assemblymember Francisco Moya, sponsor of the DREAM Act. "Passing the DREAM Act sends a strong message that the Assembly values the immigrant youth that call New York home and that they will fight to get these students the access to education that they deserve."
"The vast majority of undocumented students who graduate from New York high schools do not pursue a college degree due to the lack of financial aid opportunities," said Assembly Higher Education Committee Chair Deborah Glick. "The success of our state depends on our younger generations. New York State is throwing away immense potential by not helping these students pursue their higher education dreams. This funding for the DREAM Act could change that and change the lives of thousands of deserving students."
Current state law excludes undocumented immigrant students from the state's financial aid programs. The DREAM Act would provide immigrant youth with access to the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) and the state's educational opportunity programs, including the Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP), Educational Opportunity Program (EOP), Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program (C-STEP) and the opportunity programs available at community colleges.
Under the proposed DREAM Act, students are eligible for TAP funding if they:
California, Minnesota, New Mexico, Texas, and Washington have already passed legislation allowing immigrant students access to state financial aid.

750-900 grams
Product Sheet (Please download)
Our Weighted toys are great for help to create a sense of comfort with only a small amount of weight. They are available in lots of different designs and can be beneficial for everyone, children and Adults.
If you do not see the Weighted BFF you are looking for please feel free to e-mail so that we can see if it is available.
These new weighted bed warmers are able to go in the microwave for heat and in the fridge to cool down. Great for helping with lowering stimulation and assisting with a good bedtime routine when combined with one of our Chain weighted Blankets
All of our bedwarmers are made from microwave safe, flame resistant fabric. The filling consists of microwave safe polyfill with natural grains and dried lavender. Please note the small grains that are inside this item when using with children.
Microwave only
1. What is my Microwavable Bedwarmer made from ?
Intelex's microwavable bedwarmers are manufactured and filled in China, with the exception of the Hot-Paks® which made in Australia. All of our bedwarmers are made from microwave safe, flame resistant fabric. The filling consists of microwave safe polyfill with natural grains and dried lavender. The products filled in China contain millet; the Hot-Paks® contain wheat. All materials have been specially designed to be heated in a microwave.
2. What fragrances are Microwavable Bedwarmers available in ?
We use only 100% natural dried lavender flowers in all our products. The lavender fragrance will fade over time. This can be refreshed by adding a couple of drops of Pure Essential Oil. It is important to use only "Pure Essential Oil" as the cheaper "Fragranced Oils" will leave an oily mark on your microwavable bedwarmer.
3. How should I heat my Microwavable Bedwarmer ?
Intelex's microwavable bedwarmers are designed to be heated in a microwave oven only.
NEVER try to heat your microwavable bedwarmer in a conventional oven. For best results place the bear in the microwave for a maximum of two minutes on high (based on 800 watt oven).
4. Can I chill my Microwavable Bedwarmer ?
Absolutely! Simply pop your microwavable bedwarmer inside a plastic bag and leave it in the freezer for 2-3 hours. You can then use your microwavable bedwarmer as a cold pack or to help cool your child on hot days.
5. How safe is my Microwavable Bedwarmer ?
Manufactured with extra strong seams, using microwave safe thread and fabrics, Intelex microwavable bedwarmers won't spill or scald like a hot water bottle.
Intelex microwavable bedwarmers have been tested to the Australian/New Zealand Toy Standard AS/NZS ISO-8124.1 Part 1 "Safety Aspects related to mechanical and physical properties for ages 0 to 14 years".
Intelex microwavable bedwarmers also conform to the UK Toy Standard BS-EN71/2/3, the UK Microwavable Personal Warmers Standard BC8433:2004, MDA and European CE standards and have been flammability and safety tested.
There are concerns about babies overheating and these should never be ignored. Intelex recommends following current advice in relation to SIDS. More Information may be found on the National SIDS Council of Australia Ltd web site www.sidsandkids.org .
6. Why does my Microwavable Bedwarmer feel damp when heated ?
This is quite normal. It is due to the natural moisture content of the filling and will cease after the first few uses.
7. Why are Slippies & HotBoots not suitable for Diabetics ?
Diabetics are known to suffer from decreased sensitivity in their feet and therefore may not feel the heat as readily as non diabetics.
8. How can I wash my Microwavable Bedwarmer ?
The surface can be cleaned with a damp sponge. Your microwavable bedwarmer should never be immersed in water. The filling will be damaged if this happens.
11. Can I send or take my Microwavable Bedwarmer outside of Australia ?
Intelex products contain natural grains and therefore are subject to quarantine regulations in certain countries. Please check with the relevant country authorities.
NOTE: Intelex products cannot be exported to New Zealand due to their quarantine restrictions.

text: A dog easily becomes a very near and dear family member, who needs to go for walks all year around. During the darker months of the year and during the darker hours of the day, the visibility of dog walkers and their dog in traffic differs a lot from when it ́s daylight. Motorists get visibility of pedestrians without reflexes at a distance of 20-30 m, but with reflexes the distance increases to 125m and then one should keep in mind that when the road is wet or slippery the braking distance increases with 2-4 times. Reflexes are a cheap life insurance for both dogs and their owners. Reflexes requires external light to function and therefore different manufacturer has started to manufacture protective clothes with integrated lights to increase safety since these clothes are visible in the dark even without external light source. With that knowledge in mind it would be grateful to have the right equipment for the dog to get the best visibility of the dog in dark outdoor places. Research for this report shows that it can be very difficult and close too impossible to find the right equipment for the dog that fulfill that purpose.Research have been made through surveys and a focus group where the result shows that the majority of the participant are dissatisfied with the alternative of products for better visibility of the dog in dark outdoor places that are on the market today. The dissatisfaction often depends on the fact that the product disappears into the fur of the dogs with a bit fluffy fur and in that way totally looses its purpose. It also depends on the lack of design and poor quality.The employer for this project has developed a potential solution to the problem, where the solution makes the dog visible 360° regardless of the amount of fur. The solution still had a few details that needed further development to fit the market. In this report the project has been to do develop the solution into a product that fits a wide target group of dog owners. In this project the contractor conceptual solution has been further developed into a concept for a product that fits a wide range of different dog owners. The result of the project became a product called 360°SafetyLight, a product that has 360° visibility, that has both reflexes and light and is easily attached to both a dog collar as well as to a dog harness and is very adaptable.

All financial terms basically remain as before, with all timing of payments, work commitments and share issuances now tied to the closing date of the transaction.

All these years,
So many fears
Have found a place deep within me.
Why do I let them choke me?
When they simply try to annihilate me.
But, there is always a part
Of me
Which fights back and voices that giving up is
Not in me.
So, I follow that voice of strength and reason.
And hope that in this
Eternity of mine,
I will always be known
For my ability to control
My Destiny.
Fear of the unknown,
And of the unmoldable
Will forever be part
Of the human nature.
Inspite of my tendencies,
My characteristics,
My expectations,
And finally, my fears,
I know that
I will fight back.
Give my 200%.
And hope that fighting
With your heart is
All my life,
Watching the humanity, world's one great clue
Has been understood
Deeply by me.
Combined with passion and
Dedication and
Perseverance and oh yes,
Always somehow Manage to
Come through.
Although that may not always
Be sufficient in every situation.
And this is held by me as the truth
When I see Passionate people fail.
This is what keeps me up at night,
When I think and ruminate
And find myself engrossed
In those thoughts.
What if I fail and lose my
Opportunity to succeed
By a very narrow margin?
What if I don't even place
Myself at a moderate level?
Although I know that worrying gets me
Except add to my ever increasing worries.
And that I should always be positive.
I know that too.
And I have to hold my nerves.
That may actually get me
Well understanding and achieving
Are two completely different concepts.
Don't even get me started on them.
Which is what I can only say.
Though I do have something to ask.
What should I Do to deal with my doubts?
Is there something crazy about me?
Or should I just brush them off as stress?
I should stop my rant right now!
But in the end.
I am left with more questions than answers.
Excess of queries than replies.
Which as you can see is
Not helping me.
People talk a lot.
Then give me advice.
But they don't stick to it.
I did grasp that instantly
After seeing them lose their grip.
Well.. I guess I can't really trust
Any one person or a single outcome.
The overall stats don't hold for much either.
Because things never happen
Same way twice and all that…
After all that I've seen happen,
Maybe I should put a little
Faith in myself.
So I'm just removing all my concerns,
And the doubts that cause the
Along with my inner conflict and
Cause they never helped anyone.
I hope I've learnt something from my
Been there,done that status.
Like some great person I don't know said,
"Hope strengthens.Fear kills."
Logic says, I should stick to that quote.
But wheels are already spinning in my head
And I keep on thinking, 'What if….. ?'
Guess I should really just get a grip on myself. *sigh*

Don Bruns is a mystery writer I have read before but this is the first book I have read in this series. This series is the Stuff series and the name of the book is Stuff To Spy For. It is the third book in the series. The other two books in the series are Stuff To Die For and Stuff Dreams Are Made Of.
The prolougue definitely sparks some interest in the rest of the book. It is here that we find out the main character in the story - the one telling the story - dies. It made me want to find out what happened - and how the character was telling the story.
The person who tells the story is Skip Moore. He will find all sorts of surprises in this book and story - besides dieing. I think the author has described him and his roommate (James Lessor) as being clueless. I definitely can see how one comes up with that characterization.
As the book opens, Skip Moore is at a client site to check into a job involving set up of a security system. Skip is apparently the main contributor to paying the rent in his roommate situation so he definitely wants this job to work out. His first surprise is discovering who his contact person is for this job. She was an old classmate of his and , as we hear a few times, she was way out of his league. Regardless, Skip is surprised to discover that the job is his but there are some catches. Sarah, his old classmate, wants him to pretend to be dating him and will pay him additional money for doing this. NOW ... I will not tell you why she wants this but let me say that a lot of red flags sure seem like they should come up. AND his real girlfriend can not be too happy with this idea.
But surprises do not end here because he is offerred more money by another person - the wife of the boss of the company. She wants him to spy in the company while he is there. Oh ... the tangled webs we weave. Let me just say that things are not always like you think they are AND our two amateur sleuths do not always seem to think about them. As a matter of fact, there apparently is a reversal in rolls involved here. Skip is described as usually the sensible person in this friendship and James is not ... but NOT in this book.
I do not want to give away any more of this story ... except that it happens in Miami, FL (which really is not giving away anything). What I can say is that it was at times humorous and overall an interesting story. Oh ... and about the character dieing ... well, you will have to read to find out about it. That is a part of the story.

At the moment Olivier Giroud seemed like saying goodbye to the football fans of club Arsenal, Arsene Wenger ignored to conceal his irritation on the Gunner's 3-1 defeat to Swansea. The one-goal advantage was offset by the loss, causing club Swansea getting out of the last three teams for the first time during three months. The footballer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang would have planned to sign the Arsenal prior to the deadline of Wednesday night. Nevertheless, the loss caused the team eight-point farther from the fourth place. In the last 15 minutes, Giroud would like to end the spell with Arsenal after five and a half year. Chelsea may become the last stop of his football playing career.
It is not a wise decision to concede the goal. And they cannot utter a reasonable explanation for the manner we kicked the ball. He also remarked the second goal of Swansea. The second goal was from a Shkodran Mustafi back pass and a scuffed Petr Cech clearance direct to Jordan Ayew. He was angry at the poor strategy of his players. When they walked one step further towards the expected club record on Tuesday, Aubameyang stay at the training ground of club Arsenal in London while Giroud is start to move to Stamford Bridge for reported £18 million. It is the win that Swansea can get rid of the ranks in last three teams from Nov. 4, 2017. From took the place of Paul Clement, the new manager Carlos Carvalhal has won ten goals in five league matches. Nowadays, his team has won several games in a row.

As a professional football player born in Braga, Portugal, Carlos Carvalhal has represented the football team in his hometown – S.C. He experienced the prime in his football playing career in 1987-88 season, playing 34 football matches and being capped for seven games.

Astigmatism is a common vision condition that leads to blurred vision. It results when the cornea (the clear front cover of the eye) is irregularly shaped or at times due to the curvature of the lens inside the eye. Light fails to focus properly on the retina (the light-sensitive surface at the back of the eye) due to an irregularly shaped cornea. This results in blurred vision, irrespective of the distance at which the viewer is. This can also result in the eye discomfort and headaches.
Majority of people show at least some degree of astigmatism. Slight astigmatism generally does not affect the vision or require treatment.
Astigmatism is often known to simultaneously occur with other vision conditions like myopia (nearsightedness) and hyperopia (farsightedness). These vision conditions together are referred to as refractive errors as they show their effect on the bending or refraction of light.
No specific causal relationship has been found for astigmatism. It is known to be hereditary and is normally found from the time of birth. It can show variation with increased or decreased intensity over time.
Testing for astigmatism is part of the comprehensive optometric examination. If required, optometrist can correct astigmatism by altering the way light enters the eyes with the help of eyeglasses or contact lenses.
A corneal procedure called orthokeratology (ortho-k) is another option available for treating astigmatism which is a noninvasive, painless procedure that requires the patient to wear a series of specially designed rigid contact lenses to help slowly recover the shape of corneal curvature.
Laser surgery can help treat some types of astigmatism. It does so by changing the shape of the cornea by removing a small portion of eye tissue.
Astigmatism is an imperfection in the curvature of cornea (the clear, round dome covering the eye's iris and pupil) or in the shape of the lens. Normally, the cornea and lens are smooth and curved equally in all directions, helping to focus light rays sharply onto the retina at the back of eye. However, if cornea or lens is not smooth and evenly curved, light rays aren't refracted properly resulting in what is called a refractive error.
Corneal astigmatism is due to an irregularly shaped cornea, whereas, lenticular astigmatism results from the distorted shape of the lens. As a result of either type of astigmatism, vision for both near and far objects appears blurred or distorted.
Astigmatism in some cases is present right from the time of birth — in fact, most people probably are born with some degree of astigmatism — together with other refractive errors: nearsightedness (myopia) or farsightedness (hyperopia).
There are two types of astigmatism – regular and irregular. In regular astigmatism, cornea is curved more in one direction than the other. It's more common than irregular astigmatism and can be corrected with glasses or contact lenses.
In irregular astigmatism, the corneal curvature is uneven across the surface of the eye. Instead of being curved mostly in one direction, it could be curved in multiple directions, or the curve could be steeper towards the bottom.
Irregular astigmatism is many a times is caused due to an eye injury that leaves a scar on the cornea. It can be corrected with contact lenses but not with the glasses.
A relatively rare condition called keratoconus that involves the cornea becoming progressively thinner and cone-shaped is also one of the causes of astigmatism. It leads to a large amount of astigmatism, which causes poor vision that cannot be clearly corrected with eyeglasses. People with keratoconus usually need contact lenses for clear vision and eventually may need a corneal transplant.
Astigmatism can affect both children and adults. Some patients with slight astigmatism may not experience much change in their vision. It is important to regularly undergo eye examinations so as to detect any astigmatism early on in children.
Signs and symptoms include:
- Headaches
- Eyestrain
- Squinting
- Distorted or blurred vision at all distances
- Difficulty driving at night
It is important to be aware of any changes in the vision in order to detect any common vision problems and get early treatment.
It is possible to be unaware of mild astigmatism. This is especially true for children, who are not aware of their vision being other than normal. Some adults may also have mild astigmatism without any symptoms.
Astigmatism treatment in India involves use of eyeglasses, contact lenses, or surgery. Individual lifestyles also affect the way astigmatism is treated.
Eyeglasses are the simplest and safest way to correct astigmatism.
Contact Lenses cause a more precise refraction or focus by becoming the first refractive surface for light rays entering the eye. Contact lenses do help provide clearer vision, a wider field of vision, and greater comfort in many cases. They are a safe and effective option. However, contact lenses are not right for everyone. Discuss this with your eye care professional.
Refractive Surgery aims to change the shape of the cornea permanently. This helps restore the focusing power of the eye by allowing the light rays to focus precisely on the retina for improved vision. There are many types of refractive surgeries. An eye care professional can help decide if surgery is a right option or not.
Astigmatism treatment at Sanjeevan focuses on the correction of the curvature of the affected cornea or the lens. This is meant to help the patient suffering from astigmatism to focus better which would result into a sharper image.
In rare cases of irregular astigmatism with our treatment, we induce more oxygenation in the cornea and the lens and improve the flexibility of the lens which ultimately results into improvement of vision.

Somewhere in our neighbourhood, another nest of robins is being cherished by its parents, until the occupants are ready to take flight and set out on their own. No doubt, some of their food supply comes from the masses of Western tent caterpillars crawling down the city streets.The squirmy creatures are heading for tree trunks, but they take strange routes sometimes. I caught this guy just now, as he retreated from the yoga mat I'm drying on the railing:
For you, Coleen, a ladybug, nestled in the cat mint between the two fading old fir trees in the front yard:
And here am I, behind my camera, a part of it all:
(All best wishes and good thoughts for you today, Edward.)

Just like yesterday the card on the left is the one that was done in the original class. It is done with Mouthwatering (cherries are embossed with the cherry scented embossing powder) and the vine is from Boderlines (which retired).
The card on the right is the same card pieces but it is done with Bordering Romance. I left the saying off so I can add one based on the event that I need it for.
Both cards are done with Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake and Lucky Limeade

Yes bentos are hot. This time, a TV reporter wants to talk to bentoists in New York City (preferably) or the NYC area. You must be willing to appear on TV, obviously. If you're interested send me an email at maki at makikoitoh com with your real name, email addy, and phone number where the reporter can reach you. (I am not disclosing what media outlet it is, but it is a legit one.)
ETA: The reporter wants to talk to Americans (I guess that means, no Japanese expats...) who love to make their own bentos.
(Update): Whoa that was fast. The reporter has what she was looking for, so please don't email any more. Thanks!
The Big Onigiri.

Sexy and tasty at the same time!I found this item to be something fun to wear for your partner and indulge if you enjoy sugary snacks! It can be used for its conventional use or given as a gag gift to a friend! I am a smaller-framed woman and this item was a bit tight on me, so I agree with the product description of "one size fits MOST," and so if you are a larger breasted woman or have a larger frame, this item may not be for you! I know my partner and I certainly did enjoy this product, though!
Edible, fun, good for those with a sweet tooth!
Sticky, NOT one size fits all!
This item is meant to be worn as a bra and then eaten off of you. It is a novelty item which can be given as a gift or used to seduce your partner during foreplay, much like you would use lingerie, except unlike lingerie, this piece is delicious in more than just looks!
Texture / Consistency / Thickness / Viscosity
Held together by a stretchy string to give the bra its shape and keep the candy in place, this item is composed of candy. The string, of course, is not edible, but the remainder of the bra is! The candy pieces are a bit hard, and will remind you of those bracelets and necklaces you used to wear as a kid with the "O" rings of sweet and tangy candy connected all around. Although you do have to bite the candy with a bit of force, once broken off and in your mouth, they are easy to chew. They seem to have almost a chalky consistency to them.
Taste / Aroma
This piece smells just as sweet as it tastes! I can't emphasize enough, sugar, sugar, sugar! That is basically the main component of this entire item. It is certainly something for those who have a sweet tooth; I wouldn't suggest this for anyone who is diabetic, but it certainly is delicious for those who have candy cravings, and if it makes it through the foreplay, it may even be good for those after-sex cravings!
This product can last however long you allow it to, depending on its use. My best suggestion is that if you are eating this item off of your partner or it is being eaten off of you, I would begin with the straps. I have purchased this item once and have had it given to me as a gift, and the first time my partner began with the straps and worked his way down to the cup area around my breasts. If you work your way from the outside inward, it is not as difficult to work with but as you eat your way towards the nipple, not only does the bra begin to lose its shape, but because it may be tighter in that area of your body, you are at risk of being bitten or pinched by your partner's teeth, which you may enjoy, but you also may not! It can be quite sticky as you work your way through the item, but easily washes off of your body.
I will point out that, just as the picture shows on the site, the item is not discreet at all as it comes in a box with a photo of a woman wearing the item. Although it is not a terribly large box, it isn't something that you can slip in your purse, unless of course you take the bra out of the box which I believe would still be sanitary, as the bra comes inside of a plastic bag, but other than that, not easy to hide!
Special Features
Why, you can eat it, of course! What a nice feature for something that you wear!
Follow-up commentary 30 days after original review
I had a mostly uneaten bra that I'd purchased from Spencer's Gifts over a year ago and decided to put it on, mostly just as a joke but it ended in a session of making out and then after having some hot steamy sex, nibbling on my tasty clothing while talking! The candy surprisingly didn't lose any of its flavour and it didn't leave a bad aftertaste in my mouth, so I know these last quite a while!
I am considering getting one of the candy thongs as a gift for a friend with a sweet tooth! These are mostly a novelty item but they certainly are fun to wear and even more fun to eat! I probably won't get any more for myself, now that the thrill is over, but I am glad that I found the box with my old one! It was a nice surprise and a nice treat!

Wow....this is incredible!!
Outstanding images, and enjoyed reading the narration also. The eagle scaring them into flight, learning about 'siege' etc.

I would love to be surrounded by such a 'siege' JoAnn! Never have seen that many herons in a group - they usually appear as such solitary birds, alone and silent. These were apparently having a good time together, just spectacular! Thanks for sharing the joyful gathering.

What a great group of birds! I am used to only seeing them on their own. I didn't even realize they gathered like that. Thanks for sharing your amazing photos!

A siege! I'll try to remember that ...we have seen them in groups, but never a 'siege' as big as this wonderful one! Love these pics.

- Sallie (FullTime-Life) said...
Tthought I'd commented on both this post and your later one ...but I'm getting older by the minute and maybe I dreamed it. Loved learning the group noun for the herons...I've never seen so many at once ...wonderful. And your deck (later post) is wonderful.

The $1 trillion War on Drugs launched by President Nixon in 1971 created the Mexican drug cartels, now legalizing weed is killing them.
The Mexican drug cartels are finally meeting their match as a wave of cannabis legalization efforts drastically reshapes the drug trafficking landscape in the United States. It turns out that as states legalize cannabis use and cultivation, the volume of weed brought across the border by Mexican drug cartels dramatically decreases — and is putting a dent in their cash flow.
A newly-released statistical report from the U.S. Border Patrol shows a sharp drop-off in cannabis captured at the border between the United States and Mexico. The reduction in weed trafficking coincides with dozens of states embracing cannabis use for both medical and recreational purposes.
In fact, as the Washington Post reports, cannabis confiscations at the southern border have stumbled to the lowest point in over a decade — to only 1.5 million pounds. That's down from a peak of four million pounds in 2009.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Monty Python comedy team, the world-renowned British troupe celebrating its 40th anniversary, was honored with a special award on Thursday for its contribution to film and television.
"If you want to get a better view, this will be on eBay tomorrow," joked John Cleese as he accepted the award from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts. Monty Python also included Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin and the late Graham Chapman.
The presentation was made at the official 40th anniversary Monty Python reunion event in New York co-hosted by the Independent Film Channel, and followed a screening of a new documentary, "Monty Python: Almost the Truth (The Lawyer's Cut)."
Monty Python created the influential British television show "Monty Python's Flying Circus," which first aired in 1969, and went on to make popular movies including "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" and "Monty Python's Life of Brian."
The five remaining members of Monty Python took questions from the audience at the event and reminisced. Cleese recalled his most embarrassing moment as "when the queen came down to watch and my trousers fell down."
BAFTA, which hands out Britain's equivalent of the Oscars each year, last honored the Monty Python team in 1987 when it received the Michael Balcon Award for Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema.
