CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The Nelson Illusions "More Than Magic Tour" is not your average touring magic show. The all-ages show features large-scale illusions and impressive effects like a girl who risks death on the point of a giant industrial "drill of death," as well as one of the bigger dove acts in the world.
The tour comes to the West Virginia State University Fine Arts Theatre in the Davis Fine Arts Building with shows at 7:30 p.m. Friday and 11:30 a.m. (free for youth) and 7:30 p.m. Saturday. The Saturday evening features a special "dark" dance by the local JADCO Dance Company.
"It wasn't just a magic show, it was THEATER and the audience was wild about it," said one review.
General admission tickets are $15 at the door. For more information, call 304-766-3188.

One thing I don't understand Dale is that they regulate me where as GMO
stuff can contaminate mine and mine will not contaminate gmos. they
regulate the contaminated and let the contaminator skate. what's with that.
gmo can cross over and infect me I have to give up land because GMO move .
If I ship something with GMO in the truck those products can contaminate
mine not the other way around. we should regulate the polluters not the
folks getting polluted. I don't understand this. if there is drift of
pesticides or herbicides or Gmo we loose I will never drift into your
fields and contaminate them . the government wants to make us suffer
because u release GMOs and can't control them. whats with that. . if
just a little bit of your GMO s floor gets mixed with mine I am no longer
NON GMO or organic yet we are the ones regulated. what is with that. if
just a few grains of GMO corn get mix with my corn I lose my load and it is
no longer organic yet what kind of law is that and the USDA burdens us
while GMOs are contaminating every thing they touch. it is a rip off of the
organic farmer to justify your no label no control no regulations of GMOs .
the USDA wants to say if you don't want GMOs buy organic instead of making
the Gene jockeys keep their thing strait. I think if u don't want GMO check
the label . if the poor organic grower can label so can the gene jockeys.
the regulation is going on the wrong folks. we need to just move this
organic standard over to the GMO standard. you take the inspections you
take the extra paper work you and yours take the tracking for 5 or 10 years.
follow those GMOs . more regulations on the GMO s lets do this right lets
make all those that grow food make a farm plan not just the few organic
growers and have a inspector check them out and residue test all farmers if
I can't be trusted why should I trust any farmer. look at the chemicals in
our drinking water that is enough reason for forced inspection and checking
all farmers books and state and federal regulations on all farms every get
to get standardized and should be certified inspected and etc. why should
any one trust any farmer or is it just the organic grower u don't trust. run
that by me again whole countries want to label GMO whole lost of folks don't
trust it so how do u get away with what u are doing. where is the USDA our
protectors checking the organic growers. the organic growers don't have the
money behind them and are a easy targets how can they get away with this rip
off when the USDA say organic is not safer. is it just a rip off Why if it
is no better WHY
I say it is safer. they say they are doing it to make a level playing
field I do't see a level playing field here. look the cost is not level
every state is different the certification is not level because we can still
certify to higher levels and charge what they want the folk that export
already need certification folks that sell wholesale already need to be
certified why they doing this to us they are killing of the small grower.
for what? taxing the organic grower and letting the chemical grower and
gmo grower skate. no way. what you make me do you have to make all farmers
do thats a level playing field. . I have a right to farm also. we will
let those same inspectors and labs check gmos out and all farmers out that
is a level playing field. we always get the short end because we are small
players but this is not fair and a extra burden on the organic grower just
because he does not use synthetics and lab made dna changed gmos or
irratation or what ever does not sound right to me. why should I who has
not use anything for years go through all this when the chemical farmer uses
everything and does not have the extra burden. why

Zack’s bold campaign to repeal the 2008 Louisiana Science Education Act (LSEA) has made waves in state politics and in public education. Kopplin has gathered the support of 78 Nobel Laureate scientists, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the New Orleans City Council, and other major organizations. His petition to repeal the law has 74,000 supporters across the US. Working with Louisiana State Senator Karen Carter Peterson, Zack has fought for two bills to repeal the LSEA. He has spoken out before the Louisiana legislature and State Board of Education, debated creationist politicians, held rallies, and had been covered in hundreds of interviews in national and international media. Kopplin is preparing to fight for a third repeal bill.
Zack plans to use the $10,000 awarded to him to increase the impact and reach of his campaign. The funds will greatly aid Zack’s most recent venture to call for accountability on the issue of millions of dollars in school vouchers being spent to fund schools across the US that teach creationist ideas. He also plans to use this money to help build the Second Giant Leap movement, which calls for a permanent end to science denial legislation and for a trillion dollars of new science funding in the next decade.
Kopplin said, “We need a Second Giant Leap for Mankind and we need a student movement of troublemakers and truth-tellers who are willing to stand up and speak out to make this a reality.”
By studying the way it has mutated and changed over time, scientists can trace human mitochondrial DNA — the DNA that is passed from mother to daughter — back to a single woman. Basically, everybody alive is descended from her. But that's not the same thing as saying that Mitochondrial Eve was once the only woman alive. In a very nice piece — with helpful illustrations — the Christian (but evolution-accepting) scientists at BioLogos explain what Mitochondrial Eve really means and why she can't be used as an argument for creationism. Whether or not you've ever found yourself arguing this point with a family member or friend, the piece is really useful for deepening your understanding of a pop-science concept that's often thrown around without a clear explanation behind it. — Maggie
A bill introduced in the Missouri legislature by Rick Brattin is a genuinely bizarre attempt to cram religion into the state's science curriculum. In what must have seen to Mr Brattin as a very clever move, the bill redefines what science is to include religion ("'Scientific theory,' an inferred explanation of incompletely understood phenomena about the physical universe based on limited knowledge, whose components are data, logic, and faith-based philosophy.") (emphasis mine). The bill just gets weirder from there.
If scientific theory concerning biological origin is taught in a course of study, biological evolution and biological intelligent design shall be taught. Other scientific theory or theories of origin may be taught. If biological intelligent design is taught, any proposed identity of the intelligence responsible for earth's biology shall be verifiable by present-day observation or experimentation and teachers shall not question, survey, or otherwise influence student belief in a nonverifiable identity within a science course.
In other words, equal time for the leading scientific idea and intelligent design, but never mention who the designer might be. And not just equal time, but equal pages; the bill literally mandates that "course textbooks contain approximately an equal number of pages of relevant material teaching each viewpoint." Brattin is at least aware no textbooks actually have anything on "biological intelligent design," so he wants the state to identify "nine individuals who are knowledgeable of science and intelligent design" to create supplementary materials for use until the textbook publishers get in line.
It's just a bill, not a law, but as John Timmer points out, bills that are very nearly this stupid have already passed in Louisiana and Tennessee.
IO9 profiles Zack Kopplin, a 19-year-old, five-year veteran of the fight against teaching creationism in Louisiana's science classes. Kopplin was a student when the a law came into effect allowing teachers to bring creationist material to class, and he took up the cause, winning a battle that prevented the exclusion of evolution from Louisiana science classes altogether. Kopplin has been vilified by state legislators and creationists, but refuses to give up the fight. If I can raise a kid with this much sense, savvy, passion and ethical commitment, I'll consider my life to have been worthwhile:
He also has his eyes set on vouchers. After an Alternet story came out about a school in the Louisiana voucher program teaching that the Loch Ness Monster was real and disproved evolution, Kopplin looked deeper into the program and found that this wasn't just one school, but at least 19 other schools, too.
School vouchers, he argues, unconstitutionally fund the teaching of creationism because many of the schools in these programs are private fundamentalist religious schools who are teaching creationism.
"These schools have every right to teach whatever they want — no matter how much I disagree with it — as long as they are fully private," he says. "But when they take public money through vouchers, these schools need to be accountable to the public in the same way that public schools are and they must abide by the same rules." Kopplin is hoping for more transparency in these programs so the public can see what is being taught with taxpayers' money.
The Orleans Parish Public School Board has rejected the Louisiana Science Education Act, which followed Texas's lead by putting Creationism into the state's schools. A Board decision prohibits the teaching of Creationism in science class, and forbids the use of Texas's revisionist, Creationist "science" textbooks.
The policy says: "No history textbook shall be approved which has been adjusted in accordance with the state of Texas revisionist guidelines nor shall any science textbook be approved which presents creationism or intelligent design as science or scientific theories."
It stresses the separation of science and religious teachings:
"No teacher of any discipline of science shall teach any aspect of religious faith as science or in a science class. No teacher of any discipline of science shall teach creationism or intelligent design in classes designated as science classes."

Alright everyone, there is an art thief called
be careful, I don`t want him to steal your art (like he has done to us) or spam you.
If he takes your art, he will credit you, and link back, but he won't ask for your permission first. And he will watch you and start favoriting and commenting on a lot of your art as well as on your profile, to try and get you to like him. Don't bother trying to report him to the help desk because only the people who's art he's stolen can and the art still has to be there to be proof. (Trust me, I've tried a hundred times). As a precaution, I would go and block him right now so he won't follow you because as soon as he watches you and sees you talking to your friends, he'll tack onto your friends as well. | <urn:uuid:499cfad0-4939-434f-b3e1-49275e491265> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://chevrolet-evilimpala.deviantart.com/?rnrd=25908 | 2013-05-18T21:29:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696382892/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092622-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.990765 | 186 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

Awesome Interior Decoration Bedroom
Often, the room is one of the last rooms are furnished. You will generally focus on areas in need of major renovations such as kitchen or bathroom. Plus, you want to focus on the living room where your guests will. However, the right room interior design help you sleep better and completely change your mood. It can be the finishing touch to your home and be your secret getaway. You can do this without spending a lot of money if you just take the advice coming years.A key to the bedroom decor is to choose a certain style. Your style may be a specific color or a feeling, like a spa. Sure, you can decorate with fundamental themes such as Tuscany, shabby chic, country and traditional. Designing a theme is really a great way for a beginner to work because it will really help dictate your choice of furniture to bedding.
When it comes to the bedroom, do you know how to add romance? Many of us have not really thought about how we want our bedrooms to feel. Sure, we decorate the lounge a bit as we expect guests and don’t want it to loo stark, but when it comes to the bedroom, many of us overlook it.The bedroom if decorated well is like a real sanctuary. If not done well, can feel plain and not welcoming or relaxing. If you know what to do, you will enhance the feeling in the room and make it relaxing, romantic and whatever touch you want. If you don’t do it well, you may not find that you enjoy the time in the bedroom much.
This is the first step before doing anything else. And is an essential step before any form of decorating. So for the bedroom, this means getting any piles of papers, electronic equipment, clutter of any sort and anything else into a cupboard somewhere. Clean the floor and any surfaces.
This is a great step to romance as beautiful art stirs the imagination and soul. A great piece of art to enjoy is a large tapestry. A wall tapestry has a presence that makes a room simply special. For romance you can choose a beautiful scene, landscape or floral design. A scene that you love and that takes you away to a romantic place instantly transports you in place and time. | <urn:uuid:30630a03-1e25-472d-9b63-dcf2382745f7> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://decora-ting.com/interior-decoration-pictures/interior-decoration-pictures-bedroom | 2013-05-18T21:46:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696382892/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092622-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.944467 | 472 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

Lying on his stomach in the shade of a tree, Austin flips through his sketch book, adding a few pencil lines on one drawing, shading an area in another, but unable to stay focused on any one page for long. Inspiration has been hard to come by, lately.
If Austin tries to pinpoint when drawing became so difficult, he doesn’t have to look very far. He used to call Regina his muse; maybe she was exactly that, more so than he realized. He can’t regret asking her to leave, though. It was the best decision he made – maybe not for his art, but definitely for himself, for his self-esteem, his pride, his happiness.
Although happiness, like inspiration, is hard to find.
Some bark debris fall down on the obstinately white pages in front of him. He brushes them away with the back of his hand and looks up, expecting to find a squirrel, or maybe a bird above him.
Instead, he sees stripes of color, like a strange orchid blooming on the tree. He sits up and gives the stripes a better look. He can now see the micro-mini above those long stockings, and long, reddish curls that move with the wind.
“Hey! Don’t look up my skirt, you pervert!”
Austin doesn’t bother defending himself or asking the girl what she is doing in that tree. His pencil is already flying on the paper. By the time she descends back to earth, he has two sketches already, and half a dozen ideas for more. | <urn:uuid:49f803ff-d6f4-4c26-a642-ce82c17bff09> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://kallysten.tumblr.com/post/19758377765/lying-on-his-stomach-in-the-shade-of-a-tree | 2013-05-18T21:45:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696382892/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092622-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.986876 | 331 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

In the gorgeously provocative new NARS book, Jacobs poses (right) -- we love the Dovima Nail Polish "man"-icure and bright red lips -- as '60s supermodel China Machado. (The image was inspired by a photograph Richard Avedon took of Machado.)
The book, entitled "15X15," features 15 celebrities all photographed and made up by François himself. And better yet, it's all in the name of charity and NARS' 15th anniversary.
But what makes this tome really different than your average beauty book is that each portrait is inspired by a NARS product and is based on an iconic reference chosen by François.
So, picture Amber Valetta as Catherine Deneuve wearing Belle de Jour lipstick and Isabella Rossellini in a Junya Watanabe top wearing Misfit Duo Eyeshadow. In a word: Genius!
Profits from the book's sales will be distributed between 15 charities, each chosen by a participating celebrity.
"15X15" will retail for $80 when released in mid-November; the first 30 days it's available exclusively at 15X15project, then on the NARS Website. | <urn:uuid:05757e6b-dcec-4a1b-8681-5067fae3ffea> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://main.stylelist.com/2009/10/10/marc-jacobs-nars-makeup-beauty-book/ | 2013-05-18T21:54:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696382892/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092622-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.950989 | 248 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

We are a society of multitaskers; proud when we can cleave a second into its millis and cram each one full of tasks to accomplish simultaneously.
We read and answer emails while we run or walk or cycle or cross train.
Take phone calls while we drive, at the same time planning dinner and questioning what to wear to brunch on the weekend.
Eat our breakfast while making family member's lunches, feeding the cat and packing school bags.
We overlay our lives with coatings of to do lists and check boxes.
Make a day only seem worthwhile if every moment is filled with accomplishments, stresses, and further goals.
I too am guilty of this.
Only recently I found myself sticking my earphones in while I took the ten minute walk from my car park to my office. I strode up the hills and wound my way through the back streets until I reached my office with no recollection of how I had gotten there.
Had the agapanthus finally blossomed along the pretty picket fence one street over?
Was the grey cat sunbathing in the driveway again, peering at me with his tawny eyes?
Were the mock-orange trees still perfuming the air with their tiny star shaped white flowers?
I had no idea.
I had been listening to some music, writing a note and focusing on whether I should really expose my feet to the sighted world now that they were emerging from a winter spent in hiding and might possibly blind innocent bystanders.
When I went to walk back to my car that afternoon I left my iPod in my bag. I listened to the birds chatter in the warm afternoon sun. I stopped to take a photo of some pretty blooms that made me smile. I scuttled away from the bougainvillea bush when I heard rustling underneath and saw a scaled tail disappearing into the under brush.
I arrived back at my car feeling refreshed, quiet inside, ready and happy to go home and do a little more work and enjoy dinner with my family, see my boyfriend on Skype.
I realised that sometimes you just need to turn off the noise. Just let the world exist for a moment without trying to interact with it, without trying to change it, organise it, get ahead in it, reply to it.
Just take a moment to let your mind breathe.
Multitask some meditation, some quiet time into your day.
Couple it with some breathing, a few smiles, and some random happy thoughts.
Just take a moment to be in the world, be in yourself.
Just take a moment. | <urn:uuid:10bad202-39b9-4cbd-87af-e0929a61b7cc> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://onechicchickpea.blogspot.com/2011/11/multitasking-take-moment.html | 2013-05-18T21:54:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696382892/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092622-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.956909 | 535 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

This artistically inclined toy lets you plug colored plastic pegs into a board that are then illuminated from behind, producing brilliant, glowing creations that look captivating in the dark. Introduced by Hasbro in 1967, Lite-Brite hasn’t changed much at all — although there is now a Lite-Brite app for the iPhone (download Lite-Brite for iPhone).
How we’d update it: You’d be able to plug our new Lite-Brite into your computer and control the color of each individual peg using LEDs. You’d also be able to make them flash in whatever sequence you choose, so you can create animated designs that can be saved for later use.

Using standard pruning techniques, you can train dwarf fruit trees to form a living wall that will enhance your yard's privacy and provide beauty and fresh produce. In an espalier (pronounced es-PAL-yay), plants grow along a usually flat, symmetrical framework against a wall, trellis, or freestanding support. Frequent pruning and tying of new growth directs the plants into a decorative pattern such as intersecting diamonds, or horizontal arms or elbows.
Plan your espalier to meet your needs. If you want fruit, select a dwarf apple, peach, or pear that is rock-solid hardy in your area. For a purely ornamental fence, choose a blooming tree or shrub such as flowering crabapple, magnolia, or doublefile viburnum.
Although creating an espalier isn't particularly difficult, it does take time. Expect to wait three years for fruit, and plan to spend some time each year doing light pruning and training of branches.
Select an overall pattern for your espalier. (For our example, we selected a diamond pattern.) Build an appropriate framework of posts (8 feet apart), a top rail, and heavy-gauge wire horizontal supports. Stretch wire tautly from post to post, spaced vertically at 1-foot intervals, to create a framework. If you train trees against a wall, leave 12 inches between the structure and the support system to allow for maintenance and air circulation. Plant 2- or 3-year-old dwarf trees at least an arm's length apart.
Make planting holes at least twice the diameter of the plant's root ball. Plant trees slightly in front of the wire supports. Refill the planting holes and water thoroughly. Water young trees weekly during their first summer and fall if rain is lacking. Cut off branches extending to the back or front; leave branches reaching to the sides. If you train trees along a wall, position a nail or an eye hood in the wall near intersecting branches. Loosely twist a plant tie around the branches and the hook.
Crisscross branches from neighboring trees to train them into the desired pattern. Twist a plant tie around the branches and the wire to secure them, leaving room for branch growth. Over the next three or so years, prune and train trees in late winter. As the trees grow, continue to cross and tie the branches to the framework, snipping unwanted growth to maintain the pattern. Remove fruit buds the first two years to concentrate the tree's energy into growing branches. Look for fruit in the third year. | <urn:uuid:5889f280-4fd3-46bf-b0f5-8e391a86e684> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.bhg.com/gardening/trees-shrubs-vines/trees/how-to-build-a-living-fence/print/?catref= | 2013-05-18T21:55:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696382892/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092622-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.917749 | 530 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
Leonard and Mildred McClain had been active at Calvary Congregational Church on Lee Road for several years when they noticed something troubling: Older members of the church appeared to have little to keep themselves occupied.
So the McClains took action. They started a nonprofit, applied for grants and created a program, CARES, their acronym for the Community Association of Retired and Employed Seniors.
Every Wednesday afternoon at the church, the McClains oversee sessions for up to 60 seniors, who take computer classes and enjoy table games. The couple shop for the ingredients they need to fix lunch for the participants. For the meals and other details, they have help from friends Melodee and John Launder.
"We're trying to answer a need," says Mildred McClain, a native Clevelander and retired elementary-school teacher and principal. "You see a need, and if you're able to contribute something to it and fulfill it, you should. You shouldn't sit around and let other people do it."
Both McClains are in their 70s -- they prefer not to give exact ages -- and stay busy on many fronts. In addition to their work with CARES, they book Caribbean cruises for church groups and others.
But CARES has filled their days since 2007, when they applied for their first Neighborhood Communities grant. The church provides space, but the McClains must raise the annual budget of about $10,000 for their array of activities.
"We wanted to provide some kind of sessions to get [people] out of the house," says Leonard McClain, a retired factory worker who grew up in North Carolina.
The McClains, who've been married 22 years, began the computer classes with donated used computers. In recent years, they've been able to purchase five new desktops.
Half the seniors who take part in CARES explore the possibilities of the Internet during a 10-week course. Others play dominoes, bingo and other games. The program also offers remedial reading classes.
The McClains aren't devoted only to seniors. They run a youth program on Friday nights for teens to share their performing talents.
"We're trying to redirect youths from getting involved in unproductive activity and plan programs and activities in which they can express their plan for the future in a positive way," Mildred McClain says.
When not immersed in activities for youths or seniors, the McClains spend time with their daughters -- a total of five from previous marriages -- and a combined 11 grandchildren.
Then it's back to CARES business. They're always on the lookout for donations for the program, which costs participants nothing, and for new ways to help others.
"We try to put something back," says Leonard McClain.

Harvey J. Garod, of Meredith, and Charles A. Donahue, of Keene, for the plaintiff, filed no brief.
Devine, Millimet & Branch, P.A., of Manchester (Julie Ann Boyle on the brief, and Andrew D. Dunn orally), for defendant Peerless Insurance Company.
Ouellette, Hallisey, Dibble & Tanguay, P.A., of Dover (Dennis L. Hallisey and Thomas G. Ferrini on the brief, and Mr. Ferrini orally), for defendant Aetna Casualty and Surety Company.
THAYER, J. Defendant Peerless Insurance Company (Peerless) appeals an order of the Superior Court (Mangones, J.) holding it obligated to provide uninsured motorist benefits to the plaintiff, Edward Whitcomb. We affirm.
The plaintiff was injured when an automobile in which he was a passenger left the road and struck a tree. The car was owned by the Cheshire Financial Corporation (bank) and driven by Bud Spaulding, an off-duty bank employee. All parties agree that Spaulding was operating the motor vehicle without the bank's permission.
Following the accident, the plaintiff sought uninsured motorist benefits under two automobile insurance policies -- a family policy issued by Peerless to the plaintiff's parents, and a business policy issued by defendant Aetna Casualty and Surety Company (Aetna) to the bank as the owner of the vehicle. Peerless concedes that the plaintiff "may qualify for coverage under its uninsured motorist coverage." Peerless contends, however, that Aetna is primarily liable for uninsured motorist benefits and that any recovery of such benefits must come first from Aetna's policy.
Aetna disputes liability for uninsured motorist benefits on the ground that an exclusion in its uninsured motorist provisions applying to "[a]nyone using a vehicle without a reasonable belief that the person is entitled to do so" operates to exclude the plaintiff from coverage. Peerless argues that the exclusion does not apply to the plaintiff because he was merely "occupying" the vehicle as a passenger and not "using" it.
Peerless observes that the uninsured motorist section of Aetna's policy contains both the word "occupying" and the word "using." From this Peerless infers that Aetna's policy draws a distinction between a broad class of "occupiers" and a narrower subclass of "users," which is the equivalent of "operators." Because the plaintiff was merely occupying the vehicle at the time of the crash and not operating it, Peerless concludes that he was not "using" it for purposes of the exclusion.
We cannot read Aetna's use of the word "using" in its exclusion for non-permissive use so narrowly. The interpretation of insurance policy language is ultimately an issue of law for this court to decide. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. v Cookinham, 135 N.H. 247, 249, 604 A.2d 563, 564 (1992). The uninsured motorist section of Aetna's policy does not define the term "using." In determining this word's meaning, "[w]e take the plain and ordinary meaning of the policy's words in context, and we construe the terms of the policy as would a reasonable person in the position of the insured based on more than a casual reading of the policy as a whole." High Country Assocs. v. N.H. Ins. Co., 139 N.H. 39, 41, 648 A.2d 474, 476 (1994).
"One may `use' an automobile without personally operating it, as the term use is broader than operation." 6C J. & J. Appleman, Insurance Law and Practice 4354, at 63 (Buckley ed. 1979) (footnotes omitted). "`Use' is to be given its ordinary meaning. It denotes the employment of the automobile for some purpose of the user." 12 M. Rhodes, Couch on Insurance 2d 45:321, at 661 (rev. ed. 1981) (footnotes omitted); see also Webster's Third New International Dictionary 2523 (unabridged ed. 1961) (defining "use" as "to put into action or service," "to carry out a purpose or action by means of," "EMPLOY"). By riding as a passenger in the vehicle, the plaintiff was employing the car for the purpose of transportation. Accordingly, we hold that the plaintiff was "using" the vehicle for purposes of the exclusion in the uninsured motorist provisions. See Aetna Life and Cas. Co. v. Bulaong, 588 A.2d 138, 144-45 (Conn. 1991) (citing cases supporting "the proposition that passengers are users of a motor vehicle").
Peerless also argues that the word "using" is ambiguous and invokes the rule that ambiguous provisions are construed against an insurer. See Trombly v. Blue Cross/Blue Shield, 120 N.H. 764, 771, 423 A.2d 980, 985 (1980). A term is ambiguous if the contracting parties could reasonably disagree about its meaning or application. Smith v. Liberty Mut. Ins. Co., 130 N.H. 117, 122, 536 A.2d 164, 166 (1987). We will not, however, force an ambiguity simply to resolve it against an insurer. Akerley v. Hartford Ins. Group, 136 N.H. 433, 439, 616 A.2d 511, 514 (1992). Having already concluded that the word "using" as employed in the exclusion in Aetna's uninsured motorist provisions plainly encompasses a passenger such as Mr. Whitcomb, we have no difficulty concluding that this word is not ambiguous. Cf. id. at 439, 616 A.2d at 515 (finding no ambiguity in word "use" in uninsured motorist provision providing coverage for accidents arising out of use of uninsured vehicle).
Finally, Peerless argues that the exclusion does not apply because "[n]o evidence was presented . . . as to whether or not Edward Whitcomb knew that Mr. Spaulding was operating the vehicle without permission." The exclusion applies to any person "using a vehicle without a reasonable belief that the person is entitled to do so." The trial court found that Mr. Whitcomb lacked such a reasonable belief. We must uphold this finding of fact unless it is clearly erroneous or unsupported by the evidence. See Society Hill at Merrimack Condo. Assoc. v. Town of Merrimack, 139 N.H. 253, 255, 651 A.2d 928, 930 (1994). The trial court found, and Peerless does not dispute, that the plaintiff and his friend Bud Spaulding went to the bank shortly after midnight on December 9, 1990, and that Spaulding, an employee of the bank, took the keys to the bank car from a drawer in his supervisor's desk, so that they could take the bank car to meet some friends in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. Given these facts, we cannot say that the trial court's finding that the plaintiff lacked a reasonable belief that he was entitled to use the car was clearly erroneous or unsupported by the evidence. See id.

Thanks for the tips guys.....I've been priming/painting the rough sawn spruce for 6 days straight - 12 hours days....and I'm only about half done!! The priming is killing me....get about 3 inches on a fully loaded brush. I have most of the house primed and the second floor hard to reach areas and gables finished with two coats. I'm not that experienced of a painter but the California went on very nice.....and looks good too! I'm using a Purdy 3" sash brush that is holding up very well to the rough sawn.
I decided to try the California brand primer and velvet flat paint in their standard white since I'm going with all white trim to match the JW aluminum clad windows. I primed all big/dark knots with Zinssner 123 before priming with the California Trouble-Shooter with stain blocker just in case. I'm going to use pre-stained Hardieplank for the siding and some cultured stone for a belt-line and a few faces with a bunch of copper sweeps.
Since it is white I figure I can caulk after all the painting is completed....today is the first rain day so I'm taking a much needed break.
Here is a link to the pics that I'm updating as I go... | <urn:uuid:67084654-de7e-43f9-964c-937693749080> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.diychatroom.com/f4/painting-exterior-spruce-rough-sawn-trim-questions-11124/ | 2013-05-18T21:07:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696382892/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092622-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.957415 | 269 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
FT. MYERS FL - FEBRUARY 22: Brandon Gomes #47 of the Tampa Bay Rays poses for a portrait during the Tampa Bay Rays Photo Day on February 22 2011 at the Charlotte Sports Complex in Port Charlotte Florida. (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)
- Yesterday, the Rays demoted Alex Cobb back to Triple-A and promoted relief pitcher Brandon Gomes to the majors. This is simply the first shoe to drop, as the Rays still need to clear a roster space for Evan Longoria to return from the DL today. The popular opinion seems to be that Felipe Lopez is going to get DFA'd, meaning he'd be assigned to the minors but would have to clear waivers first, but RJ takes a look at the Rays other possibilities (like placing someone on the disabled list).
Personally, I have to agree with him: I'd prefer that the Rays had just demoted Cobb and called up Longoria instead of cutting ties with one of our bench players right now. Then again, Maddon has worked the bullpen hard over this weekend, and Felipe Lopez is very redundant now that Longoria is back. It seems silly to potentially lose a player like Lopez simply because of an overworked bullpen, so I'm going to wait to see what the Rays do to call up Longoria before passing judgement.
- As Collette pointed out yesterday on Twitter, with Gomes promoted, three of the four players involved in the Jason Bartlett trade are now in the major and contributing to the Rays. Talk about a quick return.
- Gomes has only pitched a few innings in Triple-A this season, but it's enough to get me excited to see him in the majors. In 13.1 innings, he's struck out 22 batters (14 K/9) and walked only 5 (3.3 BB/9). He's let up 10 hits, but he still has a sparkling 1.35 ERA, 1.02 FIP. We'll see how it translates to the majors, but he's a really intriguing bullpen arm.
- For some reason I hadn't noticed this, but the Rays are straight platooning DanJo and Kotchman - Johnson plays against lefties and Kotchman against righties. It makes somewhat sense, at least when you consider that the Rays probably want to know what they have in Kotchman and DanJo before deciding to give either one the most playing time.
- Ben Zobrist won the AL Player of the Week award for last week. I find this amusing as Shields won it last week and Damon the week before; who's going to win it for the Rays this week?
- Rays Prospects has lots of great reads - as usual - but check out their breakdown of Rays hitting prospects. It's also worth checking out their post on pythagorean records across the Rays' organization. Very cool stuff.
- In case people didn't see our Facebook/Twitter note last night, we changed the prize on the Sam Fuld promo due to popular request. Since the winner may not be able to attend one specific game, we changed it to a $35 gift card (the full monetary value of the original prize package).

We’ve been all over the Internet lately. Here’s where you can catch up on some podcast interviews we’ve done, articles for other sites we’ve written, and some old stuff to re-read.
- Tarp Talk Podcast – Discussion of the Oakland A’s, Cleveland Indians, Jeanmar Gomez, Sonny Gray, pitching mechanics, training, and all around fun stuff
- Inverted W Podcast- Tongue-in-Cheek name, great interview questions that focused on the AL Central, Dylan Bundy, and how mechanics and training relate to one another
- Ubaldo Jimenez’s mechanics – part one, and part two – over at The Hardball Times
- Chris Sale’s faulty elbow at The Hardball Times
I should also mention that I spoke to Dylan Bundy’s (2011 MLB draft’s third pick) father (Denver Bundy, @denver_bundy on Twitter) for about 90 minutes the other day. We had a long chat about mechanics, training, and life, and his graciousness is only exceeded by his wealth of knowledge in those areas. Thanks again, Denver.
Speaking of Dylan Bundy, you should read this old THT article where I praised his workouts. How’s he been doing again in pro ball since Baltimore took him with the 4th pick of the draft?

The trial, which will pit the U.S. Justice Department's antitrust division against Dominick Carollo, Peter Grimm and Steven Goldberg, former executives of subsidiaries of General Electric Co., is slated to start April 16 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York in Manhattan.
The three were indicted in July 2010 on 12 counts, including wire fraud and conspiracy, in connection with the rigging of bids for municipal bond investment contracts between 1999 and 2006.
Federal prosecutors have indicted 15 others on similar charges, but 12 have already plead guilty, likely because of strong evidence against them, said Mitchell Herr, attorney with Miami-based Holland & Knight LLP and a former Securities and Exchange Commission lawyer.
The other six are awaiting trial.
Herr, who speaks about enforcement issues at industry meetings, called the government's bid-rigging investigation a massive undertaking involving many agencies, including the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the SEC, the Internal Revenue Service, banking regulators and states attorneys general.
The government has collected some $743 million from bid-rigging cases so far.
The defendants worked for "a group of separate financial services companies" in New York that were owned by a firm based in Fairfield, Conn., that was not identified in court documents.
The company is GE and documents show its subsidiaries include FGIC Capital Market Services Inc., GE Funding Capital Market Services Inc., Trinity Funding LLC and Trinity Plus Funding LLC, sources said.
Carollo supervised sales of investment and other municipal market agreements, and Goldberg and Grimm were liability managers authorized to submit investment agreement bids, according to the indictment.
The three conspired with firms, including CDR Financial Products, to manipulate bidding so that their firms, or others, won municipal bond investment agreements, the indictment said. Muni bond issuers typically select providers of investment agreements through competitive bidding designed to ensure bonds remain tax-exempt. Issuers often hire independent brokers to oversee the competitive bidding process.
The defendants obtained information from CDR such as prices, rates and conditions of bids from other investment-agreement providers, the indictment said. They obtained so-called last looks at other bids, and intentionally submitted losing bids so other firms would win. In addition, the three agreed to pay kickbacks, or arranged to have kickbacks paid in the form of inflated fees.
As a result, issuers awarded contracts that they otherwise might not have.
Conspiracy carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, per count. Each wire fraud charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine.
Three others awaiting trail on bid-rigging charges are former UBS Financial Services' bankers Peter Ghavami, Gary Heinz and Michael Welty. Their trial is scheduled for July 9.
The first long-awaited trial from the bid-rigging probe was to take place in January and involved CDR, its founder David Rubin and executives Stewart Wolmark and Evan Andrew Zarefsky, but they all pleaded guilty days before that trial was to begin.
Mark Zaino, who worked at UBS AG, and three former CDR staffers — Douglas Alan Goldberg, Mathew Adam Rothman and Daniel Naeh — also pleaded guilty to bid-rigging charges.

You can invest as little as $25 whenever you want with DRIPs (dividend reinvestment plans). Perhaps you have already heard about DRIPs or dividend reinvestment plans. Not all companies offer them, but the ones that do obviously pay dividends and thus will tend to be at least either more stable, less volatile stocks, or at least more dedicated to public transparency, since a dividend payment is a very public way to prove your profits.
I should point you first towards several other posts that I’ve written on this topic:
- What is a DRIP?
- Why You Should First Invest in DRIPs (Dividend Reinvestment Plans)
- Buy Stocks Direct with MoneyPaper’s Guide to Direct Investment Plans
- How To Start A Direct Investment Plan Now
- The Top Ten Canadian DRIPs (Dividend Reinvestment Plans)
- Wealthbuilding in Your Fifties and Sixties: Why DRIPs Work At Any Age
Be sure to check these out – I’ve already explained many of the basics in here. Recently a reader asked me how she could get started investing in these. And then not too long ago, J.Money from BudgetsAreSexy was thinking about getting into some DRIPs and commenters over there were asking about it too. Also, I read another comment on The Digerati Life about how a young person could get started investing with little money. So I thought it would be worthwhile to write another post specifically focusing on this, since I think it is really important to get started investing early (a college money tip you should put into practice as soon as possible).
Step #1 – Open A Brokerage Account
Zecco, Scottrade, TD Waterhouse, BMO InvestorLine, and more. There are many brokerages. I recommend a discount broker that is online – where you can place trades yourself, online. Go with one that has cheap commission fees (you’ll only be paying them once, but it’s still nice to save money), but is known for good service and has a longstanding reputation. I’d avoid anything that’s just opened up shop in the last year, for example. Check online for recommendations.
Step #2 – Put Cash Into Your Brokerage Account
You’re going to have to find out how to transfer or deposit money into your new account. If the brokerage is operated by your banking institution (as many of them are in Canada), you might even be able to link it to your checking account and do the transfer online from within your account. Now that’s convenient! I’d try to do that if you can make it work for you.
Step #3 – Research DRIP plans and Figure Out Which One You Want
Not all companies that can be bought through a broker offer DRIPs. So know beforehand what DRIP it is that you’re looking to set up. Johnson and Johnson is a great example – so is Pepsi. Both offer DRIPs. But DRIP plans are all different. Some even charge fees. Those aren’t the ones I’m talking about. There are plenty that are completely free, and these are the ones you should go after. Read my post on MoneyPaper’s Guide to get a sense of some of the plans available through U.S. companies.
Step #4 – Buy the Stock Through Your Broker
How many shares should you buy? This depends on you and how much you can afford to spend. In order to start a DRIP, usually you only need to buy just one share. So let’s assume you’re on a tight budget for the purposes of this post. Of course, if you have more to spare, you might want to leverage the one-time commission into a lower percentage of your total costs, in which case buying more than one share is a good idea too.
Step #5 – Order It In “Certificate Form”
After you wait a few days for the trade to “settle” in your account, you can then move on to the next step, which is ordering a certificate for your stock. You’ll have to call your broker’s hotline and just ask if you can “have your share of ______ certificated.” They should know what this refers to. What you’re doing is taking the share out of its “street form” (when the brokerage owns it) and transferring its ownership under your own name. So make sure you verify your correct name and address with the person on the phone. Also, you’ll need money to pay for the certificate, but this will be the last time you’ll ever have to pay any fee to invest in that company. Expect to wait two weeks for the certificate in the mail.
Step #6 – Enrol in the DRIP
While you’re waiting for your certificate to arrive, you might already receive some information from the company’s registrar agent about enrolling in their DRIP. Simply fill it out and mail it back in. You want to make sure that you’re registered for both (1) dividend reinvestment AND (2) optional stock purchases/optional cash payments. The latter means you’ll be able to buy more stock with no fees. The former simply refers to the actual reinvestment of future dividends.
Step # 7 – Wait for the Registrar To Set Up Your Account
Enough said. This can take up to a good month and a half, depending on when you entered the company’s quarter cycle. Be patient. Get acquainted with the company’s quarter schedule – when they record shareholders and when they pay dividends. Plan your future optional cash contributions (aka stock purchases).
Step #8 – Send a check for the Optional Cash Payment/Stock Purchase
Check the plan for minimum amounts required. If a company says a $25 minimum is required, it means that if you choose to send in a payment it must be at least $25. You are not required to send in a payment, ever, at all. That part’s up to you!
And there you have it. Those are the basics. Feel free to ask me if you need any more clarification on the above points. Like I said, I’ve been doing this almost ten years now, so I’ve forgotten somewhat what it’s like to start from scratch (although I have added to my new DRIP holdings as recently as last year). I currently own around 20 DRIPs. This is in addition to my regular stock portfolio, of course!Related Posts

He was a good shutdown center and wins faceoffs. He was great in the room and was liked by everyone on the Kings. His intelligence for the game is second to none. Clifford said he was the best option to teach him how to be a pro and play the game the right way.
That being said, Zues is really slow and the Game is starting to pass him up.
Good luck Zues in SJ.

We had a great time and the Condo was perfect. Everything we needed was there for us. Beautiful grounds and the 24 hour security was a bonus. I never felt threatened or afraid in Aruba but just knowing Security was there was a plus. The Condo was very comfortable Clean and we felt at home. Two large bedrooms with two bathrooms was a bonus. 3 TV's and DVD's available to watch. Air Conditioners in each bedroom and in the living room. Washer and Dryer another bonus.
Very convenient location with the Supermarket Kong Fui a two minute walk and the High Rise Hotel area was only a 1/2 mile away. We walked it one night and it was a nice walk. There is Dunkin Donuts, Ceasar Pizza, Wendy's and more just down the road.
The two pools were very nice and the four beach chairs were great to have. I recommend renting a car so you can see the Island unless you just want to stay in the High Rise Hotel Area. You can park on a little side street next to the Hyatt Hotel for free. No need to pay in the parking lot across the street. We parked there during the day and at night.
We like to travel around the Island. We recommend Arashi beach, Malmok Beach, Mangel Halto Beach for very good snorkeling. The Jolly Pirate Ship tour was fun. Mambo Beach was another great spot on the weekend with live music and food on the beach at night.
You will need a four wheel drive vehicle to reach the Natural Pond which we did not do. We had a car and went up to the Light house and down to the dirt road and went to the rocky coast but could not go much further with the car. If you rent a jeep with a family of four or more get a 4 door hard top for comfort, storage and securing valuables when shopping or at the beach. The two door jeeps were no good for a family. I recommend renting a car for the week and turn it in a jeep for the day to go to the Natural Pond. Car is much more comfortable and better on gas.
I definately recommend the Condo!
Owner's Response: Thank you for choosing our place.We are glad you enjoyed and found everything you needed.we went to Aruba for our honeymoon in 1985 ,love it since then ,we feel very safe and people are friendly

07/09/2007: "Don't Get Gas"
To the editor
Here's a letter to the editor (or a news item, if you prefer). It's my
answer to high gas prices and global climate change:
Have you noticed what's happening to gas prices? Can't you just see
those dollars flying away at the gas pump? Since last summer when I
decided to do something about it, I've found a solution. Don't buy gas-
find alternatives to travel by car instead.
For off island travel, the Summer '07 edition of Ali's Gas-Saver's
Guide is now off the press! It covers north Puget Sound from San Juans
and Bellingham to Victoria and Vancouver BC and south to Seattle and
SeaTac. It includes suggested routes (thriftiest Seattle-San Juans is
just $3.75 plus ferry fare), schedules, contact information and travel
tips. It's available at Griffin Bay Books in Friday Harbor ($3 cheap!)
or from me (address below, $5).
Help your pocketbook and the environment, and I'll see you on the
bus... or the cruise boat, or the shuttle, or the train, or...
Enjoy the ride,

Newport News Shipbuilding reported net earnings of $27 million for the third quarter of 2001. Earnings before interest and taxes
(EBIT) for the quarter were $57 million. Included in the third quarter results were approximately $4 million in merger related charges. Absent these non-operational expenses, the Company's earnings per share (EPS) were $0.93, up 39 percent from $0.67 per diluted share reported in the same period one year ago. Free cash flow for the quarter was $36 million bringing the year-to-date total to $153 million, or $4.87 per share.
Revenues in the third quarter increased 17 percent to $578 million from $493 million reported in the prior year's quarter. The company reported favorable revenue comparisons across all business segments in the quarter. "I
am particularly pleased with the strong performance delivered by the
Construction segment," noted Chairman and Chief Executive Officer William P. Fricks. "Construction revenues advanced 35 percent over the third
quarter of 2000 led by the continued production ramp-up on both the CVN 77 and
Virginia-class programs. Earnings were also strong as adjusted EBIT of $61
million advanced 22 percent over the third quarter of 2000."
"This outstanding financial performance in the third quarter represents a
continuation of the favorable results we've delivered throughout the year and
positions us to meet or exceed our full year estimates," added Fricks.
Newport News Shipbuilding also announced that the Board of Directors
declared a dividend of $0.04 per share on the issued and outstanding stock of
the company. The dividend will be payable on or about November 16, 2001 to
shareholders of record as of November 5, 2001. This is the twentieth
consecutive regular dividend declared since Newport News became an independent
company in December 1996. | <urn:uuid:e2a114e2-237f-4f5e-99f5-99a67f498868> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.marinelink.com/news/article/newport-news-shipbuilding-reports-third-quarter-results/325231.aspx | 2013-05-18T21:18:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696382892/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092622-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.968944 | 384 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
Creatine Kinase (CK), Serum
The determination of creatine kinase is utilized in the diagnosis and monitoring of myocardial infarction and myopathies such as the progressive Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Creatine Kinase (CK) activity is greatest in striated muscle, heart tissue, and brain. The determination of CK activity is a proven tool in the investigation of skeletal muscle disease (muscular dystrophy) and is also useful in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI) and cerebrovascular accidents. Increased levels of CK also can be found in viral myositis, polymyositis, and hypothyroidism.
Following injury to the myocardium, such as occurs in acute MI, CK is released from the damaged myocardial cells. A rise in the CK activity can be found 4 to 8 hours after an infarction. CK activity reaches a maximum after 12 to 24 hours and then falls back to the normal range after 3 to 4 days.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
6-11 years: 150-499 U/L
12-17 years: 94-499 U/L
> or =18 years: 52-336 U/L
6-7 years: 134-391 U/L
8-14 years: 91-391 U/L
15-17 years: 53-269 U/L
> or =18 years: 38-176 U/L
Reference values have not been established for patients that are less than 6 years of age.
Note: Strenuous exercise or intramuscular injections may cause transient elevation of CK.
Serum creatine kinase (CK) activity is greatly elevated, at some time during the course of the disease, in all types of muscular dystrophy, and especially so in Duchenne's type, in which levels up to 50 times the upper limit of normal may be encountered. In progressive muscular dystrophy, enzyme activity in serum is highest in infancy and childhood (7-10 years of age) and may be elevated long before the disease is clinically apparent. Quite high values of CK are noted in viral myositis, polymyositis, and similar muscle diseases. However, in Neurogenic Parkinsonism, serum enzyme activity is normal. Very high activity is also encountered in malignant hyperthermia.
An early rise in CK is also seen after an acute MI, with values peaking at 12 to 24 hours and falling back to normal in 3 to 4 days. Although total CK activity has been used as a diagnostic test for MI, it has been replaced by the troponin T and I immunoassays, and is no longer the laboratory test choice for diagnosing and monitoring acute infarctions. Serum CK activity may increase in patients with acute cerebrovascular disease or neurosurgical intervention and with cerebral ischemia. Serum CK activity also demonstrates an inverse relationship with thyroid activity. About 60% of hypothyroid subjects show an average elevation of CK activity 5-fold over the upper reference limit; elevation of as high as 50-fold may also be found.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Exercise and muscle trauma (contact sports, traffic accidents, intramuscular injections, surgery, convulsions, wasp or bee stings, and burns) can elevate serum creatine kinase values.
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Yeah, yeah, when it comes to a gift it's the thought that counts. But the gift itself isn't entirely insignificant. And even the packaging can matter a little - so we're taking a break from starlet-priced couture to suggest a very small, very affordable item. A little less than $4 will get you five yards of this adorable shocking pink rosebud grosgrain ribbon, which should make all those who receive gifts from you pause a little before opening them to make happy vowels. And that's what all good wrapping should do.

Why Don't I Love Every Minute of Motherhood?
The image of Mother that we have filed away in our head -- selfless, always caring and available -- is hard to live up to. Although you're in love with your new baby, you're not always in love with how much work it requires to care for her. "I felt guilty about enjoying my newborn best when she was sleeping," recalls Jessica Engelhart, of Hoboken, New Jersey, mom to Julia, 2 1/2 years old. Moreover, the pervasive idea that your life should revolve around your baby can breed guilt when you go out alone with your spouse or, horrors, do something for yourself. "I feel guilty when I do things like getting my hair done," says Deborah Moniaci, of Brooklyn, New York, mother of 5-month-old Gabriella. Though, she adds, "when I actually do something for myself, I come back feeling so refreshed and rejuvenated, I'm happier to see my daughter. So I hope that I remember those feelings for the next time." | <urn:uuid:0fb32c76-140e-4dfd-a80b-6de59bf7a093> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.parents.com/baby/new-parent/motherhood/new-mom-guilt-cures/ | 2013-05-18T21:55:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696382892/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092622-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.956243 | 220 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
'N Sync is In Sync with Charities
'N Sync is bounding all over the place. On Nov. 11 on Miami's South Beach, the boy band -- Joey Fatone, Lance Bass, Justin Timberlake, Chris Kirkpatrick and JC Chasez -- will perform a free concert to benefit the families of New York police officers and firefighters killed in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. (That excludes 2,000 VIP tickets that will be sold.) But before that, on Saturday, Oct. 27, the boys will hit the hardwood as co-hosts of an episode of NBC's "NBA Inside Stuff." The guys will join the show's executive producer and host, Ahmad Rashad, and co-host Summer Sanders to discuss the 'N Sync Challenge for the Children, a Las Vegas umbrella charity that raises money for five philanthropic groups, including the group's own Challenge For Children Foundation, the Justin Timberlake Foundation and Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy. They also plan to talk about their love for basketball and what several NBA players were up to over the off-season. The Challenge for the Children held a star-studded celebrity basketball game last summer to help fill the charity's coffers. (It was the second annual such event, and Justin reportedly was the best player in the band.) Ahmad, who coached one of the teams, will deliver the inside scoop on what went on, including the court techniques of such players as 'N Sync, Britney Spears (who happens to be Justin's main squeeze), "Malcolm in the Middle" star Frankie Muniz and Taye Diggs, as well as such NBA stars as Tracy McGrady, Cuttino Mobley, Dan Majerle, Dennis Scott and Elton Brand, all of whom participated in the game. In addition to being the co-hosts, says a press release about the program, 'N Sync members spend time with Ahmad and Summer discussing their favorite NBA players and teams -- and kick around the popular belief that while many musicians want to be ball players, just as many ball players want to be musicians.

Scouting and the Bully
By Donald C. Bross, J.D., PH.D.
Scouting's values-based programs provide parents and Scout leaders with effective tools that address the causes of, and help provide solutions to, the persistent problem of bullying among young people.
Familiar moments have played out in middle and high schools for years. Boys and girls are shoved aside in hallways or their books are knocked from their hands as they pass from one classroom to another.
It's a typical example of bullying behavior, defined as a person being "habitually cruel to others weaker than himself." To the child who is a target, the experience can be a source of profound resentment, especially if the harassment is repeated in many ways and places.
Bullies perceive certain individuals as easy targets, poorly equipped to defend themselves. Often viewed as different from the majority in ways that can range from physical appearance or mannerisms to religion or national origin, they offer convenient focal points for a bully's aggressive tactics.
And the "hurt feelings" from such encounters can lead to tragic outcomes, as recent news headlines attest. Intimidation and bullying reportedly played a part in embittering many of the students who later murdered classmates or teachers, the experiences of being threatened possibly contributing to their hatred and anger.
Awareness and response
Without help and support from peers and from concerned and knowledgeable adults, as well as other resources, such as awareness training, a young person cannot quickly or easily develop effective responses to the constant physical and psychological intimidation of bullies. Of these sources of defense, peers who have the awareness to recognize bullying and the character and integrity to stand against it can have the most immediate impact on curtailing such behavior.
Scouting's values-based program of character development and leadership training can play an important role in preparing youth to provide this type of peer support. Young people with the moral fiber to take action that protects a victim, while others turn away, typically reflect the values they've experienced in their daily life. Not surprisingly, many students who have intervened in school situations to protect vulnerable classmates or younger boys and girls from bullying have also been very active in Scouting.
Scouting's dedication to these values is evident in the BSA's determination to make its programs a source of safe havens, free of hazing and other actions of intimidation. Young people are allowed to develop strength, courage, and the mental toughness that is dedicated to helping others rather than hurting them.
Changing behavior patterns
In addition to helping produce individuals of character who will not tolerate bullying, Scouting can help both the potential victim and the bully to overcome the behavior patterns that lead to bullying situations.
Those children who are likely to become a target of bullying often find it difficult to make friends, and have a sense of social isolation. And bullies, especially those who have themselves been victims of bullying, also feel isolated from society, resulting in problem behavior such as smoking and drinking.
In Scouting, a young person can develop strengthslike self-esteem from advancement in rank and participation in outdoor activities, and social and leadership skills from interaction with fellow patrol and troop membersto avoid becoming a target of bullying.
Likewise, a youth with the background and personal history that leads to bullying behavior can find in Scouting the leadership experiences and personal values that turn his negative energies and aggressive inclinations in a more positive direction.
The Scout leader's role
Bullying is not confined to school settings and can also occur in Scouting situations. And to ensure that the Scouting experience does not include bullying, the BSA has strict rules and regulations as well as extensive training programs, all directed at preventing such behavior. For example, current training videos on child protection include examples of coercion by older boys or adults in settings both within and outside recognized Boy Scout activity settings.
Scouting provides many opportunities for rigorous play and competition that don't lead to domination, subjugation, or complete disregard of the vulnerabilities of others. However, bullying can occur when young men are put into leadership roles that enable them to assume a position of power over a weaker person.
Mild examples of overreaching by boy leaders are not infrequent. When they occur, troop adult and junior leaders have an opportunity to address the issue in a positive way by providing examples of appropriate leadership.
More severe instances of bullying behavior can occur when a boy is perceived as "different" or in some way deserving of rejection or disapproval.
Adult leader recognition of a bullying problem can lead to thoughtful and effective intervention. The step after stopping any bullying is to find a time to take the bully aside and try to understand why he acts the way he does. What makes him wish to attack others? Why does he act so aggressively toward someone who is different?
Sometimes a bully in school or Scouting is the victim of similar behavior at home. The bullying child might simply not understand how to relate to others, especially people who are not like him. He might deny that what he is doing could be hurtful to others, or minimize his behavior by suggesting that the other boy deserves to be treated negatively.
Once his behavior is better understood, he will have an opportunity to see how his actions interfere with his leadership effectiveness and are counterproductive to achieving his goals.

Edmond Sykes apparently likes to gamble - not only with cards, but in real life. This week, the odds caught up with him.
The 54-year-old Encino man was arrested Wednesday at Commerce Casino - in between poker hands - on suspicion of robbing 17 banks in the past 21 months, most in the San Fernando Valley.
He was formally charged Thursday in U.S. District Court on one count of armed bank robbery, although officials expect to add more charges. He was being held without bail at the Metropolitan Detention Center.
The FBI initially suspected Sykes in the robberies committed by a person they dubbed the Armed Old Man Bandit. But after arresting him, they also linked him to robberies committed by the Fedora Bandit.
"We're reasonably certain that he is (both bandits)," FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said. "They had similar MOs."
The bandit was known for being abusive and foul-mouthed, police said. In some cases, he threatened customers and tellers with a gun. Five times, he claimed he had a bomb, forcing the LAPD to evacuate the bank and neighboring businesses until the Bomb Squad cleared the area.
Often, he'd wear bandages on his face to make it appear as if he'd been involved in a serious accident. Other times, he'd don the fedora.
He lived alone, was unemployed and likely used the robberies to support a gambling habit, Eimiller said.
Investigators believe it was Sykes whose face was covered in Band-Aids on Nov. 25 when he held up the First Commerce Bank in Encino. According to a federal arrest warrant, that's when he made his big mistake.
After the holdup, a bank employee followed the robber into the parking lot and wrote down the license plate number of his 1998 Mitsubishi. Officials traced the car to Sykes. Three days later, an FBI agent showed three bank employees Sykes' picture, and all three identified him.
The FBI served a search warrant at his Encino home Nov. 29, but he wasn't there and never came back. The FBI believes he had been living in a hotel.
Because of his gambling habit, investigators looked for him in local casinos and card houses.
"One of our agents happened to go to the casino in Commerce (on Wednesday) and was conversing with security personnel there, giving them fliers, when he looked over and saw Mr. Sykes actually playing," Eimiller said.
The FBI agent and casino security lured Sykes into a private room, where he was arrested. | <urn:uuid:470752f6-bbc1-4e97-b0c6-02f9878b0aca> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.securityinfowatch.com/news/10560784/bank-heist-suspects-luck-runs-out-at-casino | 2013-05-18T21:48:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696382892/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092622-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.984036 | 533 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
Backpacking boots are boots that are meant to be worn for outdoor activity such as backpacking trips. Backpacking boots are often water resistant or waterproof boots, and these boots include performance features to allow hiking over rough terrain. Backpacking boots may also be called hiking boots.
About Water Resistant:
Water resistant materials deflect and resist water and cause the article to not become bogged or soaked with water. Water resistant material is common in athletic apparel, outerwear, footwear or bags. | <urn:uuid:cced190c-b460-4bde-aeb3-75c23db7cf2b> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.shoebuy.com/lowa-water-resistant-backpacking-boots.htm | 2013-05-18T21:47:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696382892/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092622-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.955674 | 98 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

|This is a borrowed photo, but this is what it looked like this morning:) Click on the pick|
to check out the blog that I got it from;)
I am gearing up for November and December and I had a few things I wanted to share with you all.
In class I have set up my new Daily 5 Word Work centers for the month and I wanted to practice a few new skills.
I created some fun center activities to cover contractions, parts of speech and fact and opinion.
I also made a center to practice telling time. My students are still having trouble with this skill.
I also decided to finally make a set of behavior chart calendars to go along with my Surf's Up Clip Chart.
My kids love this clip chart and I had been using a freebie calendar that I downloaded from Lori over at Teaching With Love and Laughter. I love the way it has worked in my class.
The students color in the date with the color they ended up on and take it home each day to have parents check it. Parents initial it each night and know how their child's day was. This has been an excellent way for me to communicate with parents, and students work extra hard to Surf Up:)
A nice follower of my blog and store asked me if I would create my Common Core Posters in a Zebra print.
I think they turned out really cute!
Finally I had a request to do my Chevron Papers in Christmas colors.
There are over 20 different designs to play around with and they are a freebie to get you in the Christmas spirit. You can download these from my TpT store. If you do I would love your feedback!!
I hope you found something useful for your classroom, or just grabbed my freebie. Either way I am glad you stopped by. | <urn:uuid:e72e0603-0023-4b62-b18c-73b2216797a5> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.surfinthroughsecond.com/2012/11/whats-new.html | 2013-05-18T21:54:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696382892/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092622-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.97266 | 377 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
Reports are that Bharat appears with six packs for movie ‘555’ directed by ‘Poo’ Sasi. This has created a furor among cine circles.
As the stills showing Bharat with six packs for the movie were released, fans seem to appreciate him for dedication to the venture. They seem to have told him that he looks handsome. Kodambakkam circles say that Bharat is happy about the comments.
Sasi commenced schedules for 555 two years back and yet he is not halfway through the movie. He has finished scenes showing Bharat’s getup, some song sequences and action scenes.
People seem to suggest that the trend of six packs is obsolete. Masses expect a story in the movie, suggested assistant directors. Only after those people suggested Sasi seems to be searching for a story for the movie. | <urn:uuid:8eab1df7-0286-4e35-9f2c-a1d3ef869750> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.tamilstar.com/news-id-appreciations-heap-upon-bharat-for-his-six-packs-in-555-bharat-six-packs-tamil-movies-bharath-six-pack-news-tamil-cinema-news-tamil-news-19-10-123403.htm | 2013-05-18T21:18:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696382892/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092622-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.984341 | 178 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
It's been a busy couple of days! I finally got to squeeze a blog post in!
I have a hankie that I plan to put an edging on this summer and I think this might just be the pattern! It's called 'Clover Edging' from Be-Stitched.com. This pattern features rings-within-rings called an Onion by Georgia Seitz. HERE is a link to her instructions. Her technique uses just one shuttle to make an onion/clover versus using a shuttle and ball thread. I was so excited how the purple one was coming out that I forgot to join it to the green leaf! :-) The color threads are all Lizbeth threads; gold is #611 , pink is #145 'Pink Parade', purple is #162 'purple Iris Fusion', and the green is #683 'Leaf Green Light' :)
Here's another Onion/Clover color combo!
This was a fun project and a pretty little new technique to learn! I like the way the variegated threads make the blossoms look. I just got my order in from Be-Stitched.com with a bunch of new variegated threads! Pictures to come!

I've used Lisp fairly extensively for AutoCAD programming (and my programs still work in AutoCAD Mechanical 2011). I've also used it a little to customize Emacs.
The way I always heard it, the joke acronym for Lisp was, "Let's Insert Some Parentheses."
I found it rather ridiculous that the death of Steve Jobs garnered so much attention in the tech industry while the deaths of Dennis Ritchie and John McCarthy (the inventor of Lisp) at around the same time seemed to be barely noticed. From a business perspective, Steve Jobs' death may have been more momentous, but from a technical perspective, Dennis Ritchie and John McCarthy were each a bigger influence on the current status quo.

I was going to do the alpha kids too, but I got bored after Roxy.
Aaaand some other stuff!

Think you’re good at making car noises?
You’ve got nothing on this lot. It’s amazing what you can find on the internet...
To some the mouth is just the beginning of the digestive system. A place to gulp oxygen and expel waste gas. An instrument to bestow affection on your nearest and dearest. But to others, it's a V12 engine/dump valve/clunky gear change/any other mechanical noise that needs replicating.
We thought it was just some of the TopGear office that humbly sit at their desks humming the sounds of an F1 engine at 13,000 rpm like a drunken Crazy Frog. But then we went on the internet and found others doing it. And a lot better than we can.
Below are some of the best renditions of various cars, engines and mechanical noises from the double you double you double you.
We've seen more good ones online, but because we're a family site, we can't put them up as they contain naughty words. But feel free to share your favourite ones below dot commers (and thanks to our upside-down colleagues at topgear.com/au for the links).

Skulls have long been objects of fascination, serving as powerful symbols of the macabre and dangerous — not to mention being the second most important thing inside your head. Tonight, the Denver Museum of Nature & Science hosts Simon Winchester Presents Skulls, with the best-selling science writer on hand to discuss and show slides from his recent book, Skulls: An Exploration of Alan Dudley’s Curious Collection.
The book delves into the depths of the world’s largest private collection, presenting riveting photos of hundreds of animal and human skulls alongside information about the history, science and cultural beliefs that surround them. The museum will display some of its own awesome collection of skulls as well.
“With some incredible specimens in our collection, Skulls is, of course, a great fit for the museum, and we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to host this exceptional best-selling storyteller and science writer,” says Liz Davis, manager of adult and children’s programs.
The presentation starts at 7 p.m. in the Phipps IMAX theater at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, 2001 Colorado Boulevard. Tickets are $8 for members, $10 for non-members. For more information, visit dmns.org.

Blue Coat Systems on Monday said it will roll out a cloud security service that will enable it to better target smaller businesses and remote offices as well as diversify its revenue stream, which relies on hardware appliances.
The web security and wide area networking (WAN) optimisation company said its first foray into software-as-a-service (SaaS) will revolve around the Blue Coat Cloud Service, which will launch with a web-security module.
With the move, Blue Coat will take the software embedded in its security appliances and offer it as a service. Blue Coat's security appliances hunt for malware and attempt to save enterprise employees from themselves. Many security issues are caused by user mistakes, infections via social networking and other web tricks.

PennDot officials have already developed preliminary engineering drawings for the 3.5-acre parking lot that would lie on the north side of the SEPTA tracks about 400 yards east of the Wallingford station on the R3 route.
Through a series of tests, PennDot has concluded that the parking lot would not adversely affect the surrounding environment and residential communities, O'Brien said.
The agency had previously considered several locations along the nearby Blue Route for possible park-and-ride facilities, including a tract owned by the Wilson Oil Co., but the Duer site became the most attractive option
because of its proximity to the Wallingford station, O'Brien said.
The existing 60-space lot next to the station is often filled, O'Brien said, and a Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission study concluded the station could use the additional 88 spaces.
The proposed lot also has the potential to be expanded from 88 to 281 spaces, O'Brien said.
The tract, overgrown with brush, trees and wetlands, is zoned for half- acre, single-family homes, according to a township zoning officer. PennDot would not need additional zoning permits for the parking lot, Township Manager Gary J. Cummings said. Parking related to railway train station use is allowed under the township's residential zoning permit, Cummings said.
As news of PennDot's proposal spreads through the township, officials are taking sides.
"I think it's the worst thing for Nether Providence that I've heard of
because it flies in the face of the township's concerns about preserving open space," said Commissioner Sara Lynn Petrosky.
"I don't think our residents want the parking lot, and I don't think anyone wants to see that land paved over," she said. "This may be part of a larger scheme for other things besides a parking lot. We need to get the community involved very quickly."
But Commissioner William B. Peck, whose house adjoins the Duer tract, supports PennDot's proposal. "There are some downsides to it, but this is probably a thing we ought to do," Peck said. "Additional parking at Wallingford Station is needed."
Some residents are questioning the need for the additional lot. Homeowner David E. Landau and some of his neighbors, who live along Dicks Creek, downstream from the Duer tract, oppose any development on the site because of flooding concerns.
In recent years, flooding along the creek has washed away bridges and stone walls, and water levels during heavy storms have covered some backyards, Landau said.
"People around here are in shock over this plan because the paving would create serious flooding dangers downstream just so people from other towns can drive in and use the Wallingford station," he said.
"This is not a partisan issue. People along Dicks Creek and on Turner Road are getting organized, and I think the plan is going to engender a lot of opposition. PennDot should have held this meeting as soon as they started talking about the site, not after they've already planned it." | <urn:uuid:dcdbcbdd-825f-4eeb-9ee7-cfbd3d33be5e> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://articles.philly.com/1995-03-27/news/25700247_1_parking-lot-park-and-ride-lot-parking-plan | 2013-05-21T20:32:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700497024/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516103457-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.979071 | 637 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
Public-health officials on Thursday extended until Nov. 15 the Palm Beach County malaria alert while mailing out letters to 700 local physicians and other health-care workers, asking them to report suspected cases of the disease.
The county's chief epidemiologist, Dr. Savita Kumar, also was working to pull together a task force representing civic, labor and community groups in the 27-square-mile "hot zone" west of Lake Worth in an effort to bring an end to the contagion, one of the biggest outbreaks of locally acquired malaria in the United States in 50 years.
FOR THE RECORD - CORRECTION PUBLISHED SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2003.
An article on Page 1B of Friday's edition incorrectly suggested that a general public health alert for malaria had been extended until Nov. 15. The alert extended to Nov. 15 pertains only to physicians and other health care workers who have been urged to watch for new cases in the outbreak. A medical alert for the general public remains in effect until Oct. 22 for mosquito-borne disease, which include West Nile virus. St. Louis encephalitis and Eastern Equine encephalitis as well as malaria.
Eight residents of central Palm Beach County have come down with the disease during the outbreak, which began in July and has attracted the attention of epidemiologists in the United States and abroad.
"When faced with a patient having fever of unknown origin or high fever, headache and chills," wrote Kumar, "malaria must be considered as a possible diagnosis."
The latest victim, a 26-year-old man whose symptoms surfaced on Sept. 14, represents "the first known case in the third generation of recent Plasmodium vivax cases," said Kumar. P. vivax is the scientific name of the local malaria strain, which is caused by a parasite and spread through the bite of Anopheles mosquitoes. The ailment produces severe flu-like symptoms that can ebb and flow in 48- to 72-hour cycles.
Physicians and other health-care providers who see suspected cases of the disease are asked to send blood samples from the patients to a state Health Department laboratory in Miami.
The decision to put together a community-based task force on the disease reflects some frustration on the part of county health officials over a failure to identify the source of the outbreak or to end it. In the "hot zone" in the wooded, central area of the county are many homeless encampments, low-income neighborhoods and immigrant communities where residents may be reluctant to come forward for medical treatment.
"The purpose of the task force is to seek information, to ask, `Who did we miss?'" said county Health Department spokesman Tim O'Connor. "We want to let people know that they have access to health care."
Once the task force is formed, O'Connor said, it likely would meet to share information and ideas.

First time in France....might be the last

While my parents were in town, one of the day trips we did was to Metz, France. Metz is on the border of France and Germany. Throughout history, they have changed hands multiple times - sometimes Germany, sometimes France. They are not even 2 hrs from our hotel in Germany and we noticed signs as soon as we arrived on windows and doors saying, "Wir sprechen Deutsch nicht." (We do not speak German). My issue is that they do, most likely, speak German...and English for that matter. But if you could not speak French, they did not want your business.
We went first to the St. Stephen Cathedral. It is the 3rd tallest in France and has the most square feet of stained glass in the world. Unfortunately, the sun sets at 4:30 - so we saw a lot of stained glass, but not a lot of color
The Metz Christmas Market was next on our list. It was different from the last one that we went to in Trier in that they didn't sell a lot of homemade goods. Theirs was mostly just food and food products. They did have a giant ferris wheel that we rode to get a glimpse of the city. We decided that we didn't need to stick around too much longer in Metz and went back to our rental car to find that it had been vandalized. Not accidentally bumped in the parking lot, but someone saw that it was a rental and actually bent off a piece of the trim on the side. We called our fantastic German rental company and they just asked us to fill out a police report. No problem. So we try to find a police station. The closest one is closed. We find some police on the street who point and say they can't help us, we need to find an open station. We FINALLY find an open police station (at 7 pm on Tuesday!) and not a single person in the entire place speaks ANY English - or so they claim. Luckily, the rental company could sympathize with our situation having dealt with French people before also and didn't make us pay for the damage.
We couldn't get back across the border to Germany fast enough! | <urn:uuid:cd4dd9a3-3de1-4aba-b558-5eefd79ce967> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://blog.travelpod.com/travel-blog-entries/courtneycostas/1/1292817274/tpod.html | 2013-05-21T20:31:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700497024/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516103457-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.982273 | 485 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
U.S. House Gives North Texas Municipal Water District the OK to Import Zebra Mussels Into Texas
The North Texas Municipal Water District, which serves 1.6 million people in Plano and a dozen northern and eastern suburbs, took a major hit in 2009 when zebra mussels were discovered in Lake Texoma. It's a federal crime to transport the highly invasive bivalves across state lines and, because seven of the water district's eight pump stations are in Oklahoma, the district was cut off from more than a quarter of its water supply.
Three years after it stopped pumping from Lake Texoma, the North Texas Municipal Water District's pipeline is covered in zebra mussels.
How all but one of the district's pumps came to be in Oklahoma when they were all built in Texas is a complicated story involving a decades-old border dispute between the states settled around 2000. As a result of the settlement, the state line was moved a couple of hundred feet, or just enough to put the district in violation of federal law when zebra mussels were discovered in the lake, said district deputy director Mike Rickman.
Three years on, the water district is hard at work to restore its lost supply. Right now, it's spending $300 million -- and upping water rates by 12 to 15 percent -- to build a 46-mile pipeline from Texoma that connects directly to its water plant near Lake Lavon rather than into a creek upstream. There's a hangup, though: The project still involves transporting zebra mussel-laden water from Oklahoma to Texas.
At the end of June, U.S. Representative Ralph Hall of Rockwall, with an assist by Representatives Pete Sessions of Dallas and Sam Johnson of Plano, introduced the North Texas Zebra Mussel Barrier Act which, despite its name, would actually remove one very specific barrier by exempting NTMWD from the Lacey Act, the 1981 law barring the inter-state transport of the mollusks. The exemption, per Hall's bill, would apply to any water transfer "using only closed conveyance systems from the Lake Texoma raw water intake structure to treatment facilities at which all zebra mussels are extirpated and removed from the water transferred."
The idea that the zebra mussels can actually be safely contained during their 46-mile journey and scrubbed from the water without contaminating Lake Lavon is an untested hypothesis. Jim Schutze, among others, is skeptical.
Not that it matters. The zebra mussels are here, and we may as well get used to bowing to our bivalved overlords. Plus, the House debated and passed the North Texas Zebra Mussel Barrier Act yesterday.
New Jersey Congressman Rush Holt expressed hesitance, but not much.
"I do want to emphasize that zebra mussels are pernicious and insidious," he testified. "I am loathe, and I think many of my colleagues are loathe, to weaken or seek exemption from the Lacey Act, which controls invasive species. However, Texas needs access to this water, and the aforementioned entities have a comprehensive plan for ensuring, we are told, that these water transfers will not cause zebra mussels to spread."
The bill still has to be approved by the Senate, but even then the water district plans on moving ahead with its pipeline. It purchased $100 million worth of pipe in June and plans to have the whole thing up and running by fall 2013. If for some reason the Senate doesn't pass the bill, Rickman expects the district will be able to secure non-prosecution agreements from relevant federal agencies that will allow water to be pumped from Oklahoma. | <urn:uuid:f3dd9a52-cb2a-4e20-ae30-94504678be41> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://blogs.dallasobserver.com/unfairpark/2012/09/us_house_gives_north_texas_mun.php | 2013-05-21T20:19:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700497024/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516103457-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.96714 | 756 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
My husband's Lebanese grandfather, George Thom, immigrated to Michigan City, Indiana, where he met his young soon-to-be-wife, Victoria, a cheerful and fun loving 16-year-old girl whose parents had also emigrated from Lebanon. They attended the same Lebanese Catholic Church of the Maronite order, and soon struck up a friendship. When she was 17, and he was 25, they married. He went to work in the steel mills outside Gary, Indiana to support his new wife. Soon, a baby was expected. Life was good.
It wasn't long before George developed a hacking cough. Tuberculosis had invaded his lungs on account of his long hours at the mill. Hoping to remedy the illness which was progressing quickly, doctors told him to return to clean air in the hills of Lebanon. So he packed up his pregnant wife and they returned by boat. Once in Beirut, he was quarantined in a small house on a hill and Victoria went to live with his relatives, whom she had only just met. She cooked with them, learning new recipes, and cleaned with them. Soon, she gave birth to a son (my husband's father) and named him George (like his father). Then George Thom died, alone on the hill. His relatives tried to convince Victoria to leave the baby for them to raise, and return to America to start over. She would do no such thing.
And so, the newly widowed Victoria, at the tender age of 18, returned alone to America with baby George to begin life anew. She eventually re-married, one of her husband's best friends, and they had a long and happy marriage lasting almost 60 years before he died. She was, however, not able to have more children. Over the years Victoria cooked almost exclusively Lebanese food. Before freezer cooking was popular, she was stocking her extra freezer with such delights as warek eenab (meat stuffed grape leaves), koosa (meat stuffed squash with tomatoes) and kibbe (a unique Lebanese meat loaf flavored with onions and pine nuts), recipes she had first learned as a young girl.
I am the fortunate recipient of some of "Sito's" cookbooks, which she gave to me before she died. She mentored me in the early years of my marriage and taught me how to cook Lebanese style. Many Sundays my husband and I and our young children would visit her, and watch, mesmerized as she would demonstrate the proper technique for stuffing cabbage or grinding meat in her ancient meat grinder to the proper consistency for some recipe.
One of Sito's recipe books, Lebanese Cuisine by Madelain Farah, states, "In the Middle East, the chief cook in an extended family is queen of her home, and her throne is essentially the kitchen. No sooner is breakfast done, than preparation for lunch has begun, and then again for dinner. To the homemakers this is a labor of love. Mealtime in the Middle East is a leisurely and happy occasion, where the family is brought together in thanksgiving and mirth." This was certainly true in my experience with Sito. Eating was one of life's pleasures and was an occasion for conversation and family. She always had food prepared for the drop-in visitor. She was the epitome of hospitality, something many of us really aspire to, but struggle with.
As Eastertime nears, I like to pull out Sito's old recipes and devote some time to old-fashioned cooking, as much for the time it creates for family as for the food it makes. As we celebrate Christ's Resurrection and new Life, I like to turn my thoughts also to resurrecting old traditions, which bond and renew relationships of new generations to the old. When I make my own grandmother's traditional raisin coffeecake and Sito's dinner fare, I feel connected with both women, with both families, and feel that I pass along something special to my children.
This Easter as you plan your Holy Week activities to attend Mass with your family and celebrate the glorious feast day of Christ's resurrection, I invite you to also explore your own family traditions — recipes and devotions. Tell your children about their relatives, some now perhaps long gone. Maybe you would like to instill new customs into your family life. As you explore new things to do and eat, however, don't forget to look to the past for a precious treasure you can pass on to your children — their ancestry which is uniquely theirs. Have a very Blessed Easter! | <urn:uuid:2d2d482a-4f5d-456c-bc8d-89531f62fb09> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://catholicexchange.com/looking-to-the-past-this-easter/ | 2013-05-21T20:25:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700497024/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516103457-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.986987 | 928 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

I really think that's one of the things Dallas really looked at.

Filtering and good head
I just bumped up my filter thickness and have noticed a loss of head retention.
Has this anything to do with the filtering process. or is it just my brews problem?
Any solutions. I just bought a huge amount of filter pads and it may take me a year to get through them all.
I noticed this because my porter (which I dont filter) has a wonderfull head and my other beers lose theirs in a few minutes.
Plus the beer isn't lacing like it was before.
Another thing it may be is the damn dishwasher at the bar.
But let me know if filtering will cause this.
I think its the dishwasher after all, I went to another bar which sales my beer "just to see" I had good head after all.
Thanks for the words of encouragement. | <urn:uuid:7b545f3d-a69f-4416-9842-861608cc0710> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://discussions.probrewer.com/showthread.php?640 | 2013-05-21T20:11:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700497024/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516103457-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.968784 | 176 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
It has become common problem for teachers that students do not take interest in the class room. Teachers struggle in engaging student in class room. Teachers need to change their teaching style by introducing some new ideas and techniques to engage student.
Following are some of the techniques that can help teacher to engage student.
1. Use technology in the class room: From last few years technology has become integral part of the system. Students now use cell phones, computer, ipods etc. They are familiar with computers and the internet. So technology can be used to teach student in the class room and students are allowed to access their homework or schoolwork on computers through internet. Students can communicate with each other.
2. Incorporating Multimedia: Multimedia in the form of games, videos can be used with lessons to make class room learning more interesting.
3. Use real world examples: Using real world examples in teaching help students to learn the concept easily. Student can relate the topic with real world examples and they don’t need to memorize the whole concept.
4. Introducing Videos: Before starting any new topic it will be good to use a video to introduce the concept to students.
5. Use Math Games: Math games can be used to make math learning more interactive and interesting. This will help student to learn math with fun.
6. Provide online resource for student help: Students who require little more time to understand the concept can be provided with extra help in the form of online resource such as self learning modules, games, video etc. | <urn:uuid:a8ab81f4-4b5b-4ee4-a0fd-988d159fc214> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://educosoftregister.blogspot.com/ | 2013-05-21T20:03:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700497024/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516103457-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.930044 | 316 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

So called protagonists of our times, you treat us as dummies with lifeless integrities and scarred sense of judgment. Shamelessly and so openly, you use your instrument of manipulated conscience and malice to reward the unworthy amongst us and form a pathetic group of people who know just how to nourish the egocentric appetite and influence the downfall of honesty.
You give democracy a bad name.
Ages after ages, she has honorably played her part in building a better society and even played your part when you were too busy boasting about your minuscule and senseless domination of the same. She is the foundation of your existence but gets her throat filled with burning charcoals of verdicts passed by these gutless cowards.
You give man a bad name.
She has peeled her skin off to give you the shade of knowledge and the understanding of true and fair. Yet, so devilishly targeted are your assaults on her pious core and innocent soul. You devour her, brutally battering her inside the brightest adobes and raping her in front of a hypnotized civilization too busy gathering bits of thrown away glitters.
You give everything a bad name.
To start the things – this is not a heart breaker!
I have a loving family, got a decent job and I have my finances being taken care of to ensure a comfortable future. I am a happy man!
So, how come someone like me got into the bad waters?
Well, sometimes being simply comfortable is just not comfortable enough.
I have, like the most of us, the life of a common person. We aren’t revolutionaries. We get up, work hard, love the people around us and then take a break. There is least of complication and time seems to just float around. Leaving the odd ups and downs in life there is nothing extraordinarily extreme happening that could shake you apart.
Is it related to someone I wanted to become or something I wanted to do? Maybe, but not absolutely.
I did want to perfect the art of pencil sketching. I hoped that someday I would compose music as I felt that it was one of the purest things one could do. I wanted to have a bodybuilder’s physique with my biceps bulging more than my ego. I wanted to have a black belt in martial arts and attain the complex amalgamation of body, mind and skill (a.k.a Bruce Lee). I wanted to eat whatever I wish and still be lean and fit.
These may sound childish or even funny. But dreams never grow up and become old. They are always as bona fide as anything could be and are subconsciously the reflection of your inner self. One could never seize to dream as the dreams would never seize to be a part of you.
Dreams are expectations. When I wished to do or achieve something as “me”, I dared to expect something out of myself. I fulfilled certain ones and I am living the life I am because of those. But even as the life becomes stable, the expectations don’t simply die. I was still expecting to achieve a few things. Not that those would have changed anything. These expectations would have refreshed, re-invented, re-energized or rehashed me as an individual.
The dilemma with me aroused where I started contradicting my expectations.
When the mind knows that it is in a contented state of existence, it builds a cocoon around itself. I did the same. I got into a state of insulation and started rejecting anything that was more of emotional than materialistic. Owing to my comfortable existence, I started snubbing my own inner self which had a pretty strong opinion about what more I was capable of achieving. My subconscious was giving me hints every now and then that there was a little bit more for me to explore. On the other hand, I was posing as already contained enough to consider it.
Slowly, the denial becomes a part of our personality. It starts affecting the natural you. The things which seemed just right on the correct spot, suddenly feel too alienating. You are in a slight state of shock that how come you are not in accordance with your daily life. There is nothing around you that is converted to a certain diminished entity just like that. In spite of this, you start having a feeling that maybe you were not doing anything which you actually wanted to do. But you can’t stop either.
Here, I started losing my confidence. It all started with just a denial.
It is always hard to begin – because we keep on looking for the perfect start.
I don’t remember being perfect when we met for the first time. I was too confused and clueless about what to be in front of you. Still, the only perfect thing I remember that evening was you. When I went back at my place and thought about being with you, all I could remember was looking into your eyes and searching for my soul in them. I thought I had everything planned and thought upon in life. After meeting you, I appreciated the fact that I had been as lost as anyone could be.
Since that evening you have been the anchor around which I have hung around when the winds were heavy. I know I am good with words, but I never tried to describe what you mean to me. I know I would fail miserably because I know I do not have the words which could be as pure and as humble as you are. There are no set of alphabets put together which could make a sentence even close to rhyming the impeccability of your name. There are not enough canvases out there on which I could even begin with if I had to draw you smile. There are not enough symphonies which could hymn the way your heart beats.
The day it all began was mesmerizing and evermore closer to the discovery of life for us.
The day it all began – was just perfect.
It is not easy to make someone read what you’d write. Reason ? A writer needs to make the reader believe in what he has inked. See, the “going through” part may be good enough for someone to click on your website or take a look at your book or article. But for the reader to respect every word of your artifact the writer requires, in less than a minute or even 30 seconds, maybe, to build a connection with the aficionado and make him judge that the passion and sentiments are a cent percent unadulterated and natural.
On the other hand, a reader is more, I would say, a term describing a “state of mind” rather than a person. Not all of us are bestowed upon with this drive of reading the thoughts of a certain Mr. Someone with a granted sense of understanding, interpretation and admiration. It is the connection that the admirer or critique is able to institute (or not) which allows them to feel real between the words.
Every good writer would not be read for sure, every famous book would not have been written by a good writer, every writer won’t live or die a celebrity, but every celebrity’s book would get into “The List”.
I hope to achieve the aim of presenting the emotions behind my words, without any wines or sizzlers, in the most authentic and uncomplicated manner possible.
I have my idols and bookmarks. But above all, I have faith in you.

After having first visited the Cliff Palace, the tour of Balcony House was as much about the ladders, passageways and tunnel that had to be traversed in getting there and back as it was in seeing the 40 rooms of the complex. The tour to Balcony House is touted as being the most adventurous of those offered at Mesa Verde and is definitely not for the faint of heart!
Getting down to the level of the Balcony House involved a series of metal stairways firmly attached to the sides of the cliff.
The 32-foot entrance ladder. I got to go up first with the Ranger. I'll admit to being a little nervous. I kept repeating what she had told us: “Don't look down! Keep your eyes focused on the rock in front of you.”
This picture was taken from the second story of the Balcony House, looking down at the ladder and those who have yet to come up.
Upon leaving the dwelling we had to crawl through a 10-foot long tunnel, just barely wide enough for a large person (me) to get through. The Ancestral Puebloans were smaller people than we are today!
Once through the tunnel, it was awkward to get out and stand up again. There wasn't a lot of room to maneuver.
Oh, and then there were two more ladders to climb up. See that chain fencing? It's there for a reason.
The Ancestral Puebloans wouldn't have had fancy ladders and chain fences to help them get up the cliff walls. How did they do it? The Ranger said they carved hand and foot holds out of the rock. I guess you get used to using what you have available, but I'm very glad we had the ladders and chains to help us along the way! | <urn:uuid:e1e99c0d-762f-46ba-b90a-87fc915a88ae> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://kinexxions.blogspot.com/2010/06/mesa-verde-balcony-house.html | 2013-05-21T20:32:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700497024/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516103457-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.989269 | 376 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

The Winter ’79 Strikes in Camden
Revolutionary socialists have traditionally assumed that it is among the strongly organised industrial workers that the first stirrings of a revolutionary consciousness would emerge and have identified this group as the backbone of the revolutionary process. This approach has often made them unable to appreciate the significance of work among service workers in the public sector. Of course it is true that these workers generally possess a weaker capacity for struggle than industrial workers and their actions usually have a less direct impact on the capitalist class. Traditionally they have been less open to revolutionary socialist ideas. But recent experience in Britain shows that action by manual workers employed by the local authorities and hospitals can have big political reverberations, both at local and national level. The service nature of their jobs means that they are brought into close contact with wide layers of the working class community. Their conditions of work, and the quality of the service they can provide, are of direct interest to most working people. A strike by public sector service workers immediately raises issues concerning the conditions of life of the whole working class community that are not automatically posed by an industrial dispute in the private sector. As we will see, even at the level of trade union tactics, the public sector manual workers are obliged to consider the wider implications of their actions in any dispute with their employers, and the potential exists for these struggles to have a politicising effect on the whole working class community.

Jul 25, 2012, 1:01 PM EDT
Headlines across the way are alight this morning with talk of Thierry Henry’s third spell at Arsenal.
It would be a splashy story if the fab Frenchman were to land at the Emirates for a third spell, as he chatted about in general terms during Tuesday’s MLS All-Star press conference.
But in the reach to gin up the story just a smidge, the British press is making a wee bit too much of this one.
What Henry told the assembly of mostly American writers and broadcasters (with just a few English accents in the mix) is that he absolutely will return to Arsenal one day. What role? Who really knows? Because Henry certainly doesn’t.
“Coaching does interest me but I don’t know what my talent is going to be after I have finished my career,” he said. “But I will go back to Arsenal.”
He said it the way you or I might say “I really want to go visit Spain one day. I’m sure I will – I just don’t know when.”
Some of the reports made it sound like Henry, who will be 35 in about 18 months when he completes his current deal with the Red Bulls, is about to suit up for Arsene Wenger in the “sooner” rather than the “later.”
The Red Bulls striker, who will almost surely be a starter in tonight match at PPL Park, said pretty clearly that he wants to “finish his career” and then have his next fly-by around the Emirates.
By the way, Henry also said this: “I don’t know, maybe it’s just as a fan.”
The reports out of England that I saw didn’t bother to mention that part.

Our Chick Trip 2013 turned out to be even more wonderful than I had hoped for. There only just 3 women this time. (last year were 5 of us) It turned out to be a magic number and a good personality mix. Every day we slept late, snacked around until the noonish hour and then hit the beach.
One gal made her fabulous signature peach Jello shots and we hauled those down to the beach with us. I also brought along a small personal cooler for my stash of elixir of life, also know as beer. We parked our chairs right at the water’s edge so we could cool our feet in the ocean.
We gossiped, baked in the sun, and sad awful catty things about the people who wandered by. The usual parade of ginormous bellies and banana hammocks were on display, of course. It really reminded me of the obesity epidemic in America. I am old enough to remember when large persons where the exception at the beach, rather than the rule. But everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, so it’s all good.
The variety of tattoos we viewed was rather amazing. And not all of them were even remotely attractive. We spent the better part of an hour at the pool one day going back and forth between Jello shots and speculating as to what the large tattoo was on the calf of one woman. We couldn’t decide if it was supposed to be Jerry Garcia or Charles Manson. We didn’t have the nerve to ask.
Last year we all brought one piece bathing suits because we did not want to inflict our middle-aged bodies on fellow sun worshipers. It only took one afternoon of staring at beached whales to make us decide if that if they could get away with it then so could we. We went shopping, bought 2 pieces and flopped in the sand in all our glory. At the tender age of 58 I have a bit of cellulite here and there. So what? I tanned it anyway!
In the evening we sat out on the balcony and watched the beautiful sunset over the water. It’s so peaceful, you forget that there was ever anything to be stressed about.
Had my follow visit with the gastroenterologist yesterday. This was the visit where he tells me the results of the endoscopy (AKA – alien tentacle probe) and biopsy of my stomach lining. It occurred to me around noon that he might tell me something I don’t want to hear, and I started to get scared.
By the time I got to the office I was on the verge of a heart attack. The nurse did the usual measure my vitals stuff. She commented that my heart rate was 125 beats per minute. I asked “uh, is that bad?” She laughed and said no, you just have white coat tachycardia? What is that? It’s caused by getting scared to death at the sight of a doctor in a white coat.
And why not? Doctors are scary – they hold your life in their hands. And if they can’t figure out what is wrong with you, then you get labeled a hypochondriac. After all, it did take these doctors 57 years to figure out that I had bipolar disorder rather than just a severe case of being a cantankerous crone. Not a lot of trust going on here.
Before I go any farther I’ll say that I’m going to live, nothing serious. I have helicobacter pylori gastritis. It’s a form of extreme belly ache caused by the H. pylori bacterium. About 20 years ago researchers figured out that bacteria rather than stress causes ulcers and gastric cancer and can be cured rather than just managed by a bland diet and lots of antacids.
He asked me if I’ve been out of the country recently and I had to laugh. The answer is no, not recently. But I’ve traveled all over the world. The only continents I haven’t visited are Antarctica and Australia. The Doc said that this infection is usually from bad water and is common in Mexico and Jamaica, both places I’ve been to on more than one occasion.
I could have had this thing going on for years or even decades. That’s explains a lot. I’ve always passed it off as “I just have a weak stomach” because I’ve had episodes of debilitating stomach distress for as long as I can remember.
I’ve always had a morbid fascination with that show “Mystery Diagnosis.” It’s a show about people who suffer for years or decades with some malady that the doctors can’t figure out. The thing that brings me hope is that these people never give up. They keep searching the internet and go to doctor after doctor looking for an answer. And they are relieved when some doctor finally figures out what is wrong with them, even if it’s serious.
Well, I’m hugely relieved and I don’t even have something all that serious. All I have is some designer belly bug that is totally treatable. So today is a happy day for me. I can get rid of my recurring stomach ache and get on with it. Yiipeee!
I ran across a joke website a few years ago and it cracked me up laughing. It was a blank page with 2 lines that read “You Have Reached the End of the Internet! It’s time to go outside and get on with your life. I guess there is a limit to things you can find or do on the internet. I’ve researched everything I could possibly imagine 8 ways from Sunday.
So I’m standing at the crossroads again. It’s time to crawl back out of my temporary shell and get on with my life. Oh, if it were that simple. I’m leaving Saturday for a week-long beach trip with 2 girlfriends. Looking forward to the vacation itself, but not looking forward to packing or the airport. And I’m really, really not looking forward to doing the spread eagle in that body scanner machine. It’s just yucky, there’s no other word for it.
I wish that I could just wiggle my nose and magically be on the beach with an ice-cold mojito in my hand. But I have to pack and hate that. I’m afraid that if I start packing too early my cat will get in a snit and pee in my suitcase. Have you ever had the feeling that you have to hide the fact that you’re leaving from your pets? Like you’re doing something wrong and you have to be all furtive about it. But you can’t hide – they know you’re up to something. They’re little furry 4 legged mind readers.
I snuck a load of laundry in today and tried to keep a straight, innocent face. Like “hey, I do laundry all the time – nothing going on here.” Mr. Kitty will bust me though when I start sorting my toiletries and stacking clothes on the bed trying to decide what to bring with me. There’s no fooling him. I wish I could just sit him down and explain “Kitty, it’s true I am leaving town, but the big furry beast, the Hubman, is staying here. You won’t be left alone, God forbid, or packed up in a crate and shipped off to the cat hotel.
Animals are so real. They act on their emotions, no bull about it. “You have offended me oh great one, therefore I shat upon your bath mat!”
But, I’m going anyway; I’m not going to let a cat run my life.
Nobody is really sure when it happened. People just stopped what they were doing, put down their arms, or their reports, schedules, phones, parked their car, or walked away. It started as a gentle stirring of the breeze, or the caress of the master’s hand on the piano keys, a soft slow peaceful melody coming to life.
The event wasn’t on the news, people didn’t panic. There was no run on the stock market or the bank. No looting or rioting. People still went about their business to some extent. Children played, school happened, dinner got cooked, the laundry got washed. The necessary things happened. It happened so gradually that it almost went on unnoticed for quite some time.
It may have gone unnoticed for a while longer if it hadn’t started in the late fall, before the Christmas rush. What did come to the attention of those who track such things was that there was no Christmas rush. There was a small uptick in sales, but what was missing was the frenzy. No one maxed out their credit cards, took out usurious payday loans or careened around town in a mad lemming’s rush to purchase, purchase, purchase.
At first, as usual, businesses stayed open late nights or even all night in anticipation of the shopping rush that didn’t come. What little shopping people did happened in the afternoon or evening and then people went home. After a week of this the employees gave up and for lack of customers went home also. Left with no customers or employees for these longer hours, stores closed earlier, no more late night, 24/7 frenzy.
The December holidays found people off the street, dining with family and friends. Restaurants and bars, usually jammed with lonely people escaping the holiday madness found themselves bereft of customers. By the last week before Christmas small shops and eateries threw in the towel, declared a holiday and sent employees home to their families.
December came and went. In January the talking heads started to panic. Since very little shopping went on in December there was no rush to return or exchange gifts. People weren’t in the store so the January “slashed prices everything must go” sales never quite got off the ground. The nation failed to meet its quota of consumerism.
By February, the talking heads came to a startling realization. No one was listening to them except other talking heads. You can’t con a con; the heads were starting to figure this out too. How you use shock and awe…and fear to sell the news when no one was buying, no one is watching their “news?”
No one heard or cared about their sage instructions saying “now is the time to buy” that new car, buy that spring wardrobe, and buy a better house, although the house lived in now is fine and dandy and holds many happy memories.
March came and a new trend developed. Driving around any neighborhood and it was obvious. Instead of buying things people where giving away. Something more profound than the usual spring cleaning was going on. Garages, storage sheds, and packed quest rooms emptied out. Piles of items, furniture, clothing, knick knacks and gadgets, grew on the curb and overflowed the charity bins at the local grocery store. Thrifts shops were inundated with donations.
By April, manufacturers were in a panic. How are we going to sell all this stuff if no one is buying, what will our stockholders say? Production, sales, prices must always go up, must always improve. That is the way of business. If sales and prices go down then we are in a recession and must buy our way out it at all costs. They calmed down somewhat when they realized that with all the improvements and “just in time” manufacturing and inventory policies, there really was not as much of the huge mounds of unsold inventory as they initially feared.
In May the trend watchers heaved a premature sigh of relief. Ah, it’s vacation time, people will buy clothes, and summer gadgets, and gas, and plane tickets, and on and on. People will begin to consume again in a “normal” manner. Everything will be fine; the stockholders will clap their hands and count their beans, except it didn’t happen. Families decided to have family time at home instead of hauling the family and half their possessions elsewhere, only to ignore each other at their destination.
June came and it was just the summer lull. The economist decided to stop freaking out about it for a month. July came and went without much fanfare.
By August it was becoming painfully obvious that something, only who knows what had happened. It all happened so gradually that the average Joe and Jane didn’t really notice it. They were too busy living their lives.
Wouldn’t it be nice?
It is lovely, when I forget all birthdays, including my own, to find that somebody remembers me. Ellen Glasgow
I tend to wax nostalgic on my birthday. I’ve been on this earth for 58 years now. Most of the time spent in awe and wonder, interspersed with occasional times of inevitable sadness.
My son’s father sent me a picture that drew my mind back into the past. In the picture I’m standing on the beach in Macau with my 2 children, looking across the bay at mainland china.
This moment in time happened about 35 years ago, but I remember it like it was yesterday. The feel of the sand on my toes, the warm sea air caressing my skin, my son’s sweaty little sumo wrestler body clinging to me like a baby monkey, my daughter asking a thousand questions, delighting in every sea shell – every grain of sand. It was a peaceful day that’s been lingering in the back of my brain for decades.
I think living a long wonderful life takes a bit of mental effort. If you let your brain sit back and randomly spew memories, you don’t know what you’re gonna get. A deliberate choice to remember happy times takes some mental gyrations, but the rewards are plentiful. | <urn:uuid:382b9db8-87db-4458-96c9-72b68d0f3038> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://serenitygame.com/category/travel/ | 2013-05-21T19:56:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700497024/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516103457-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.9739 | 2,951 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

GK: Alex McCarthy (Reading)
The keeper saved a point for his side in a 1-1 draw at QPR when making a succession of fine saves. The pick of the bunch was an astounding diving effort to keep out an Esteban Granero free kick.
RB: Sascha Riether (Fulham)
The German defender was in excellent form in the 2-2 home draw with Everton. Riether made a number of crucial tackles and blocks but his contribution in attack was also vital as it was from his late cross that Steve Sidwell scored a late equaliser.
CB: Gary Caldwell (Wigan)
Dominant in the air and alert on the deck, Caldwell was a key reason why Wigan managed to come away from their trip to Spurs with a 1-0 win as he frustrated the home side time and time again at White Hart Lane.
CB: Steven Taylor (Newcastle)
Liverpool had by far the greater number of chances in Sunday's 1-1 win but while Fabricio Coloccini failed to cope at all with Luis Suarez, Taylor was a colossus at the back as he held the Newcastle defence together.
LB: Patrice Evra (Manchester United)
The United captain for the day enjoyed himself in Saturday's 2-1 win over Arsenal as he snuffed out any threat posed by Aaron Ramsey and even scored his side's second goal when heading home unmarked from close range.
RM: Antonio Valencia (Manchester United)
David Bellion would probably look a world beater up against Andre Santos but Valencia still exploited to the full the vast swathes of space left to him by Arsenal's left-back with a fine performance. However, he did miss one glaring open goal, underlining that providing remains his primary role, not finishing.
CM: Marouane Fellaini (Everton)
Few players have been as impressive as Fellaini in the first 10 games of the season and the Belgian plundered two more goals in a 2-2 draw at Fulham. He had chances for a hat-trick as his physical presence and technical excellence proved a potent mix.
CM: Wes Hoolahan (Norwich City)
Hoolahan won a surprise recall to the Ireland squad last week and celebrated with another influential performance in a 1-0 home win over Stoke. His use of the ball was superb as he sought to play in team-mates and Hoolahan even tried an audacious attempt from the halfway line.
LM: Pablo Hernandez (Swansea City)
Hernandez played on the right at the weekend but we had to shorehorn him in somehow after his performance in a superb 1-1 home draw with Chelsea. Swansea's record signing was influential throughout and scored a fine equaliser.
ST: Wayne Rooney (Manchester United)
Robin van Persie was the name on the scoresheet again but Rooney was key in pulling apart the Arsenal defence. As well as performing his playmaking role creditably, Rooney sat deep to mark Mikel Arteta out of the game and prevent Arsenal from getting their passing game going.
ST: Luis Suarez (Liverpool)
The Uruguayan scored the goal of the weekend in the 1-1 draw at home to Newcastle and everything Liverpool created ran through the elusive forward. He could have had a couple of assists too but for some wasteful finishing from his team-mates. | <urn:uuid:c8edd0d4-a92b-4eaa-a37e-a21a93fce226> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/premier-league-team-week-magic-marouane-174127923.html | 2013-05-21T20:13:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700497024/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516103457-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.979822 | 698 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

Meetings / Hotel and Meeting Information
D02J000 Aviation Fuels
TO: Members of D02.J on Aviation Fuels
Subcommittee D02.J on Aviation Fuels has scheduled its next meeting for May 6 to May 9, 2013 in Berlin, Germany at the Intercontinental Hotel in conjunction with the IATA Technical Fuels Group (TFG).
Subcommittee J is a major specification and standards (test methods and practices) group solely dedicated to aviation fuels for gas turbines and piston engines. TFG is an aviation industry forum bringing together airlines and their strategic partners to discuss aviation fuel quality standards, supply problems and solutions, airport fuel supply including refinery to airport transportation systems, their improvements and maintenance and above all in these areas, Industrial Safety. Doing a combined meeting gives ASTM Members a chance to see what happens to fuels after they leave the refinery and the attention paid to quality and safety of transport and delivery, and problems incurred. The TFG will benefit from an understanding of those actions taken to secure and maintain product quality of the fuel itself, progress on developing fuel sources that are not typical bulk petroleum feed-stocks, the many feedstock sources and variety of process methods being studied and what new aviation fuel additives are being offered for approval.
Provided in the link above is the meeting schedule. Task Force meetings have not been scheduled to meet in Berlin. Task Forces are encouraged to utilize the services of ASTM in holding conference calls or Virtual (WebEx) meetings. For information on scheduling these meetings please contact David Bradley (firstname.lastname@example.org) or Lisa Drennen (email@example.com) or register on-line.
Registration is now closed. Please contact ASTM for further assistance

Recently I wrote about some of the dangers of plastics in modern kitchens and encouraged readers to ask an important question: Should you purge your plastics?
Along the same vein, I’d like for you to consider, (if you haven’t already), another component of your kitchen that may be causing you or your loved ones harm: non-stick cookware. While it is exceptionally convenient and cleans up quite nicely, I think you may want to look a little deeper and consider the long-term effects this particular convenience may have on your family.
Did you know that the synthetic chemical used in non-stick cookware – PFOA or perfluorooctanoic acid – is actually classified as a “likely carcinogen”?
I don’t know about you, but I’m not so excited about working like a dog to shop for healthy, fresh foods only to cook them in a pan that adds a “likely carcinogen” to our meals each time I cook! (I’ve actually read that until heated, the PFOA is quite harmless…but once it is heated - watch out! That’s when the chemicals are released; both into the foods and into the air we breathe.) Especially since I’m raising a son whose system has proven to us that it cannot detoxify as well as his peers’, I feel I need to be very careful when it comes to questionable chemicals like PFOA.
So, what can we do? Phase out non-stick cookware all together. I got rid of all of mine. Non-PFOA options to consider: stainless steel, cast iron, ceramic titanium and porcelain enameled iron. We use stainless steel a lot in my kitchen but I’m also on the lookout for a nice cast iron skillet or two. Many of my friends rave about their Le Creuset (enameled cast iron) cookware, but I don’t personally have any.
Will this blog post make you think twice about the pots and pans currently in your kitchen cabinet? Did you even know that non-stick cookware could be dangerous…that it is LIKELY to cause cancer? I wonder what cooking options you currently use in lieu of non-stick cookware?

|Resuming immediately after the events of the previous film, medical teams come to clear up the carnage caused by Jason at Higgins Haven, which includes taking his corpse to the morgue. Problem is, he isn't dead and after a quick recovery, he heads back to (a new) camp to slaughter anybody who gets in his way.|

Just when I’d recovered from Christmas, my birthday and New Years Eve celebrations it was time to pack and head to London Gatwick to meet up with some affiliate friends for our flight to Affiliate Summit West 2011, held in Las Vegas.
My ‘One Man Wolfpack’ quickly grew as Matthew Wood, Kieron Donoghue, Chris Clarkson and Chris Brown joined me for some civilised drinks at Gatwick Hilton before we were met in the Palazzo, Las Vegas by Chris Frost and then conference and party hoppers Duncan Pollard and Jim Banks.
If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you likely followed our experiences via Twitter and Facebook. We had a ball but it was a business trip after all.† I later caught up with Chris Clarkson, of Sunshine.co.uk, who kindly supplied the limo Airport Transfers to our hotel and who was an ever present during the 3 days of sessions from breakfast until close.
* I gave away one business card to a pretty lady, how much networking did you do?
In all honesty not as much as I would have liked. If you weren’t in “Lead Generation” no-one seemed that interested! I did get to meet a chap with the moniker “Danger Brown” which was kinda cool, sort of.
* If an American turned up at your lunch table with an empty notepad and a lot of questions, what one piece of advice would you give?
That Affiliate Marketing is not a get rich quick scheme. There is no short cut, stop reading bullshit bloggers.
* I found the opening keynote session interesting but it seemed to be targetted to a print audience. Did the sessions hit the spot for you?
The Doctor was in the house. The first 15 minutes were fairly interesting, but then he seemed to wander into the promotion of the infamous one page website, big headlines, lots of arrows, highlighting, adding a “notary seal” because it made the page look official, and obviously lots of head shots. The PC he was using for the presentation went into hibernate mode twice and a sharp wit in the audience tweeted “even his computer has gone to sleep”, which summed it up pretty well.
* The Wil Reynolds session seemed to be 10/10 for content. Anything to takeaway for your 2011 projects?
I think the Wil Reynolds session was worth the ticket price alone. One of the takeaways from that session – Social Linking currently accounts for no more than 5% of ranking influence, so he only spends 5% of his time on it. Dear UK conference organisers, please arrange for this man to be a speaker at your next conference, thank you.
* I fortunately got a Press Pass so avoided having to pay for expensive passes. Were the prices justified?
Flying from the UK and staying in a decent hotel meant the actual ticket price was fairly small in comparison. Was the Summit worth the price? As above, for Wil Reynolds and the Dave Taylor closing keynote I’d grudgingly say yes. Lots of other sessions that seemed to be fillers or self promotion. The most packed sessions seemed to be those involving the bullshit bloggers flogging their get-rich-like-me BS.
* I’m personally disappointed that I didn’t attend Matt’s EuroSphere event as I caught up with sleep. Any disappointments for you?
The first session we attended on the first day about “Mastermind Groups” held great promise, but was easily the worst conference session I’ve ever had the privilige to attend. The speaker spent 20 minutes telling us how successful he was and how cool his super secret Mastermind Group was. Then spent another 20 minutes encouraging the audience to start their own (“you can charge for it you know”). I left still none the wiser as to what a Mastermind Group was, but safe in the knowledge I could sign up to the speaker’s website for only a few bucks to find out more…
* Our tweets and images seemed to capture the imagination of our UK online followers. What was your favourite tweet and picture during ASW11?
My favourite tweet sadly was one of my own. Egotistical or what?
My favourite picture. The group sprinkler shot from the balcony of the Voodoo Lounge!
* The planning for our trip started four months prior with flights, hotels and show tickets. What should any UK affiliates prepare and watch out for if they’re attending in 2012?
I think the decision we made to get their earlier this year paid off. Also, bring lip balm and try and get outside every couple of days
* I could have spent all day in the new AllSaints store. I did spend all day at AVN Expo. Did you get to enjoy any other new sights whilst in Vegas?
Places that stick with me are the VooDoo Lounge balcony, Blue Man Group and of course iloveburger!
* I only walked away from the casino tables once with a profit. Did you get lucky?
I had one bet on roulette, $100 across 4 numbers. Didn’t come in but at least I had a go this year.
Thanks Chris. These are great answers and I hope the ‘Wolfpack’ will see you in Vegas again. In the meantime I look forward to seeing you in Leeds for ThinkVisibility. | <urn:uuid:36df5349-413f-49b6-b1af-4553589159bc> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.befuddled.me.uk/2011/01/chris-got-sasha-grey-to-dance-the-sprinkler/ | 2013-05-21T20:04:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700497024/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516103457-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.966107 | 1,132 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
The following writings were selected because they represent issues that are now in the forefront of social debate in Malaysia. Increased access to education and wealth due to a booming economy has led to a growing awareness that a better quality of life means that basic human rights in a democracy—liberty, freedom of expression, the right to information, the right to a healty environment—must have more substance than they have had in the past. The selections address issues where there is still room for meaningful articulation of rights and responsibilities. The rights of a significant and growing number of people in Malaysia—for example, those of foreign workers and HIV/AIDS victims—still remain undefined.
The multibillion-dollar privatized Bakun Hydroelectric Power (BHEP) project is the subject of two reviews because it has gripped the nation in a relentless discussion of whether it is really for public benefit or private profit. Although the authorities profess commitment to environmental conservation, the BHEP is a clear example of how the environment and the rights of people as defined by environmental laws in Malaysia are cast aside to make way for purported "national development." Worse still, the government, using the Official Secrets Act, was less than forthcoming with answers to pertinent questions raised by NGOs and affected native communities.
As these writings point out, the state continues to be paternalistic, wielding unbridled powers, and is intolerant of alternative views. The promised governmental review of the Internal Security Act of 1960 never materialized. Laws that curtail freedom of information and expression continue to exist. The system of checks and balances essential to parliamentary democracy in Malaysia is being whittled away by a powerful executive in full control of parliament and seen to be working closely with business interests, and by an embattled judiciary that is facing a crisis of confidence. These trends suggest that the long struggle to redefine human rights will continue to be a primary concern for civil society in Malaysia.
Two Faces: Detention Without Trial (Dua Wajah:TahananTanpa Bicara) by S. Husin Ali. Kuala Lumpur: INSAN, 1996.
This is a painstaking record of the six years that the author, S. Husin Ali, spent in detention without trial under the Internal Security Act (ISA). At the time of his arrest in 1974, the author was a respected professor of anthropology and sociology at the University of Malaya. Published twenty-one years after his arrest and based on notes taken while detained, this book resurrects the political events that preceded S. Husin Ali's detention, the torture and harassment he was subjected to, and the failure of the legal system to protect his rights.
The message is clear: There is too much room for abuse of the ISA for dubious political ends, and the ISA is a travesty to any society's notion of human rights and dignity. Released just when the authorities announced that the ISA was due for review, this book presents the Malaysian public with the brutality and injustice of ISA detention. It reflects the determination of the human spirit to fight for what is right and just. S. Husin Ali never gave in to his tormentors and he joins the few courageous Malaysians who dared to go public with their criticism of ISA detention after their release. The author urges the present leadership (including Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, a co-detainee of the author for two years in the same detention camp) to repeal this draconian law. The standing of the author, and the absence of bitterness and accusations in his writing, lends credibility to his account of detention under the ISA. (Other books written by former ISA detainees include: Special Guest: The Detention of an Ex-Cabinet Minister by Aziz Ishak; Universiti Kedua (Second University) by Kassim Ahmad; 445 Days Behind the Wire by Kua Kia Soong; Fragments from Kamunting by Poh Boon Sing; and The Price of Loyalty by James Wong.)
"Why the EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) of the Bakun Project is Invalid," Utusan Konsumer, July 1996, Vol. 26, No. 11. (English-language edition).
"Kenapa EIA Projek Hiro Elektrik Bakun Tidak Sah," Utusan Pengguna, July 1996 Jil 19 Bil 7, ms. 1, ms. 4 (Malay-language edition).
This article analyzes the recent Kuala Lumpur High Court judgment on the Bakun Hydroelectric Project (BHEP) and reviews the events which precipitated the litigation. It explains the implications of the landmark judgment and reports on the conflicting reactions to the enforceability of the judgment by prominent government leaders and project developers. Although the author does not say so directly, in my opinion many such reactions were tantamount to contempt of court. The High Court's judgment invalidated the Environmental Quality (Prescribed Activities) (Environmental Impact Assessment) Amendment Order of 1995 and ordered the project developer to comply with the Environmental Quality Act of 1974 before proceeding with the construction of the BHEP. The 1995 amendment order was deemed invalid because of its retroactive application which removed rights that had already accrued to the plaintiffs under the Environmental Quality Act of 1974, namely the right to public participation in the environmental impact assessment process of the BHEP.
The issues raised in this case are far-reaching. First, it exposes the executive's bending over backward to subvert a legal process in order to get the BHEP off the ground without delay. Courageously, the High Court highlighted the illegality of the government's actions at a time when the independence of the judiciary in Malaysia was being questioned. The case also reinforced the right to public participation in the environmental impact assessment process, thereby adding further weight to the right of locus standi for interested parties in public interest litigation in Malaysia. Most importantly, it was a mighty victory, albeit short-lived, for three humble natives of Sarawak against powerful state and business interests. (The Court of Appeal on June 29, 1996 suspended the High Court judgment. Readers may refer to Aliran Monthly, 1996, 16(5) for an analysis of the High Court judgment, more reports, updates, and reactions from several NGOs, political parties, and social analysts on the subject.)
Power Play: Why the Bakun Hydroelectric Project is Damned by the Institute for Social Analysis. Kuala Lumpur: INSAN, 1996.
This book reviews the environmental, economic, social, and political arguments relating to the privatized Bakun Hydroelectric Project (BHEP), poses fundamental questions about the project's desirability and viability, and exposes the political maneuvering that surrounded the awarding of the contract to a private company. In doing so, it shows how public accountability was undermined by subversion of the environmental impact assessment process and the withholding of vital information on the BHEP under the Official Secrets Act, which resulted in a lack of government transparency. The book calls for a reassessment of the BHEP with open public discussion.
Since the project was resurrected in 1990 much literature has become available in Malaysia that argues against the BHEP. This book provides a good overview of the arguments put forth to-date. What is new in this book, though, is revelations of behind-the-scenes political intrigues that raise questions as to whether the BHEP was resurrected for private profit or public benefit. The fact that it dares to name big names in print is bold.
The lack of openness about information on the BHEP is a sad indictment of both the right to information for all Malaysian taxpayers and the right to development, particularly for the 10,000 indigenous Malaysians directly affected by the project.
"Baffling Decision: Judge Who Defamed the Judiciary Won't Be Prosecuted" Aliran Monthly, vol. 16, no. 5, 1996.
After the attorney general's decision not to rosecute the judge responsible for the poison-pen letter against the judiciary, which was announced at a press conference on July 9, 1996, Aliran responded by reproducing its own press statement of that date, that of the Bar Council and the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Independence of Judges and Lawyers, dated July 10, 1996, and a brief yet provocative letter from a reader. Together these responses question the integrity of the attorney general's decision and its effect on the public's perception of an impartial judiciary in Malaysia. The attorney general himself had revealed that the poison-pen letter contained 112 allegations against twelve judges—twenty-one allegations of abuse of power, thirty-nine of corruption, and fifty-two of misconduct, immorality, and personal attacks. Yet he refused to name the judge, refused to prosecute the judge, refused to give the judge's reasons for writing the poison-pen letter, and refused to provide grounds for stating that the allegations made had been proven baseless.
There has been disquiet for some time now in Malaysia over allegations of impropriety and corruption in the judiciary. In March, before the poison-pen incident, when the attorney general ordered the police and the Anti-Corruption Agency to investigate these allegations in the judiciary, the public eagerly awaited the findings. But public concerns were not adequately addressed, and the recent decision of the attorney general not to prosecute further diminished public regard for the judiciary and the attorney general. (Chandra Muzaffar of Just World Trust, in his article on "Judiciary and Justice," New Straits Times, August 5, 1996, argues that any dialogue on "Asian values" should not overlook the high regard which all Asian cultures and religions have for impartial judges and a ruler who respects the independence of the judiciary.)
"Controversy Over Women's Rights: NGO Exposes Maltreatment of Migrants in Malaysian Detention Camps" Pesticide Monitor, vol. 4, no. 4, 1995.
Tenaganita, a women-workers social activist group, exposed alleged abuse, torture, inhumane treatment, and deaths of migrant workers in detention camps in a memorandum addressed to various government ministers and the media. Though the government admitted that forty-two detainees had died of "natural causes" while under detention, the director of Tenaganita, Irene Fernandez, now stands charged in the Magistrates Court of "maliciously publishing false news" under Section 8A (1) of the Printing Presses and Publications Act 1984. If convicted, she may be sentenced to imprisonment for three years or fined, or both. This article details the chronology of events from the time the memorandum was released to Ms. Fernandez's subsequent arrest and prosecution. Her case highlights the intolerance of dissent in Malaysia.
This case also amply illustrates why police prosecution of any legitimate expression in the public interest should not be tolerated by any society, especially when the people affected are unable to voice their suffering as a result of their marginalized status. Ms. Fernandez and Tenaganita are being persecuted for championing the cause of exploited migrant workers who are contributing to the buoyancy of the Malaysian economy. It is to their credit that initial steps have been taken by the authorities to improve the conditions of these workers. In my opinion, if the motive for the prosecution was to divert attention away from the real issues, it has certainly had an entirely opposite effect.
"First Steps Towards Preserving Rights," by Sek Yong, Sunday Star, December 3, 1995.
This article reports on the launching of the AIDS Charter, the first document of its kind in this region, that attempts to define rights and responsibilities of individuals and organizations involved with AIDS issues. Drafted with the participation of representatives from government departments, NGO, the business community, religious leaders, and people with HIV/AIDS, the charter is not a legal document, but is hoped to become morally binding. This is a laudable pioneering effort in a country where there is still much fear and misconception about HIV/AIDS, which leads to discrimination and violation of the rights of HIV/AIDS victims and family members. It is glaring that there is still no official endorsement of the charter by the government. Recognizing that the sensitivity of the issue impacts on a wide range of conflicting concerns, the fact that a charter could have emerged out of a collective collaborative effort of these various interested parties is in itself quite an achievement. Congratulations are in order for the Malaysian AIDS Council for taking the first step in bringing people together in what will undoubtedly be a long struggle in Malaysia to define and protect the rights of people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS.

Tyler tests outdoor warning system today
POSTED: Tuesday, October 5, 2010 - 10:00am
UPDATED: Tuesday, October 5, 2010 - 10:01am
TYLER - On Tuesday, October 5, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. the City of Tyler will activate the outdoor warning system and the Tyler Emergency Alert System (Sudden-link Communications). The Outdoor Warning System will be activated starting with a test message. That message will be followed with approximately a 30-second steady tone, followed by an approximate 30-second alternate steady tone, followed by an approximate 30-second pulsed steady tone, followed by Westminster Chimes. The test will end with a test message. The test message is “Attention: This is a test of the City of Tyler outdoor early warning system. This is only a test.

If you have followed my posts previously, you will know that I am a fanatic in optimizing my site for the best performance. One of the thing that I do is to compress the pictures to the smallest possible size without losing the visual quality.
If you are wondering why reducing the size of your images can help in the site’s performance, basically the bigger the size of your images, the slower it takes for the server to load, and the higher probability that your server will crash when you experience a traffic spike (like reach Digg front page). In addition, if you are hosting your images on a third party site, like Amazon S3, having a smaller image also mean lesser cost as the charge is based on the bandwidth and storage space used.
How To Compress Pictures Online with SmushIt
Smush.it is a service developed by the Yahoo Exceptional Performance team, aimed to improve the performance of your site. What SmushIt does is to strip all the metadata from the images and compress them using an optimization algorithm that will not only reduce the size, but also preserve the visual quality. When I first used it, I were surprised to see a 30% reduction in the size of the image that I have optimized in Photoshop. Most of the time that I use Smushit, it is able to shave 10-50%, occasionally 80% off the image size.
There are several ways that you can utilize Smush it to optimize pictures online.
Upload your image
If you have some images in your computer that you want to optimize, you can easily upload your images to Smushit via the onsite uploader. There is no limit to the number of images that you can upload, but do bear in mind that the more you upload, the slower it is.
Instead of uploading, you can also point Smushit to a Web URL (for example, your site) and get it to analyze and optimize all the images in that URL.
This is by far, my favorite way of using Smushit. If you are using Firefox browser, you can install the Smushit Firefox extension and have quick access to it anytime, anywhere. When you are on a web page (perhaps when you are previewing your post article in your site) and you want to optimize the images on that page, simply click on the SmushIt icon on the Status bar and it will analyze and optimize all the images on that page.
Alternative to the Firefox extension is the bookmarklet that you can place on your Bookmark bar.
Once SmushIt has optimized your images, it will show a report of how many bytes it has shaved off the original images and provide you a link to the zipped files of all the compressed images.
Another thing, if you are using WordPress, there is also a Smushit plugin that you can use. Once you have activated the plugin, all the images that you upload to your site will automatically run through SmushIt behind the scene. There is nothing extra that you need to do. Alternatively, you can go to your Media Library in WordPress and process your existing images with SmushIt.

From Greta’s show On the Record last week, Franklin Graham was on to discuss the recent persecution of a Christian pastor in Iran, who has been put on trial and faces the death penalty for apostasy against Islam.
I am praying for this pastor and his family. This type of religious bigotry should not be happening in this day or age.
Again, must we continue to parrot the lie that Islam is a relgion of peace?
This weekend on Fox News, UCLA Professor and Iranian Scholar, Ali Salehi, was on to discuss how Iranian protesters are desperate for Obama to speak out on their behalf. Salehi, who has former students and family in Iran, says that the protesters even have a name for Obama: “Ubama,” (sp?)and that it means “he’s with us.” They think of Obama as their president. *ahem* (can we give him to them?)
I wonder if Obama will decide not to meddle any more? Kind of strange, considering he was oh-so-ready to meddle in the Honduras elections today. Hypocrisy indeed.
Last night on RedEye, Michigan Congressman, Thaddeus McCotter was on, and unlike his usual jovial and dry-wit demeanor, he was visibly pissed about “The One’s” extremely weak position on standing behind and supporting Iranian protesters.
I love McCotter… and last night he did not disappoint. A future politician to watch!
CNN’s Ivan Watson was left dumbfounded on Wednesday during an interview with an unnamed eyewitness in Iran who told the news network that security forces mercilessly beat protesters.
The woman, whose identity CNN chose to keep secret for fear of reprisal by the Iranian government, also said she believed security forces had fired into a crowd.
“The black-clad police, they stopped everyone, they emptied the buses that were taking people [to the protests] … and then all of a sudden some 500 people with clubs and boots [came out of a mosque] and they poured into the street and they started beating everyone,†the eyewitness said.
“They beat a woman so savagely that she was drenched in blood, and her husband was watching the scene — he just fainted.â€
Watson was left dumbfounded as the near-hysterical interviewee gave an impromptu plea for help from the West.
“This was a massacre,’ she said. “They were trying to beat people so that they would die. They were beating old men. This was exactly a massacre. You should stop this. You should help the people of Iran who demand freedom.â€
On Friday, Laura Ingraham (in for O’Reilly) had guests Brigitte Gabriel, found of ACT! For America, as well as Justin Logan of the CATO Institute. The topic of discussion was the current Iranian revolution that is obviously taking place. Brigitte has a special knowledge of what’s happening in the region, as she grew up in Lebanon under Islamic thugocracy rule.
Pray for the people of Iran, who only want freedom. And especially pray for the family of Neda, who has become the face of the brutality of the Iranian regime. | <urn:uuid:a2148c8f-322b-41b5-98db-1c0f67942bee> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.msunderestimated.com/tag/ahmadinejad/ | 2013-05-21T20:25:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700497024/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516103457-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.980936 | 703 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
Facebook is indeed one of the best social networking there is over the web right now. I’m happy that I can still communicate with my fellow classmates all over these years. And it’s good to hear as well updates from our teachers too.
This is our Class 1993, 6th Grade. Can you see me? The one on the middle is our Adviser Mrs. Leticia Apilado who’s celebrating her birthday right now. Good thing there’s an alert to let you know who to greet. Our batch (if given the chance) should’ve given her something special like a personalized gifts for teachers. Well, it’s not too late. There’s still more occasions to give gifts right?

The Diamondbacks added the up-the-middle position player they had hoped to land in the first round of Monday's draft, using the 26th overall pick on Louisiana high school catcher Stryker Trahan.
In Trahan, the Diamondbacks believe they found a rare commodity, an athletic, offensive-minded catcher, though they acknowledged he has work to do to stick behind the plate.
"With the bat profile where it is and the position he plays and the fact that he hits left-handed, it's a pretty good package," Diamondbacks scouting director Ray Montgomery said. "I'm very happy to get him at 26."
The feeling was mutual.
"I think it was the greatest feeling I ever had," Trahan said. "I was sitting there with all my family. I think I went deaf for a while because of how loud everybody got. It was amazing."

AUGUSTA — After several hours of debate and defeated amendments, lawmakers in the state Senate on Thursday approved a change to the Maine Clean Election Act that opponents say threatens the future of the program.
On the largely party-line vote dominated by the Republican majority, senators voted 18-15 to approve the so-called "do-nothing" option that simply conforms the citizen-enacted campaign-finance law with a U.S. Supreme Court decision that prevents publicly funded candidates from receiving additional funds to combat outside spending or well-heeled opponents.
The vote followed more than two hours of debate and seven amendments. At times, it appeared Republicans and Democrats were staging a standoff, as both sides offered amendments that had little chance of bipartisan approval.
The outcome sets up another showdown in the House of Representatives, where the rhetoric is expected to continue. Republicans argue that the citizen-enacted law has become expensive and has done little to prevent outside interests from influencing elections. Democrats will attempt to show that the GOP is gutting a law in an effort to preserve the Republican majority.
The citizen group that helped bring the law to voters in 1996 has promised that voters will have the last word if the Legislature moves to weaken a system that continues to receive public support. Representatives for the group, Maine Citizens for Clean Elections, have indicated they'd consider another citizen initiative to repair the law if lawmakers dismantle it.
"At a time when people are more concerned than ever about the corrupting role that money plays in our elections and government, the Senate has moved in the wrong direction," said Andrew Bossie of Maine Citizens for Clean Elections.
He added, "Maine people want to continue to move forward, not backward, in the fight against money in politics, and today the Maine Senate failed the people they represent."
The debate centers on the amount of money legislative Clean Election candidates can receive and a so-called "requalifying option." The latter would allow candidates to earn additional money beyond the program's upfront disbursement during a competitive race by collecting $5 donations.
Republicans have rejected all requalifying proposals, saying they skirt the court ruling against matching funds. The ruling effectively prohibited publicly financed candidates from automatically receiving more funds if their opponent or an outside group spent more on the race.
Two amendments sponsored by Sen. Roger Katz, R-Augusta, would have increased the initial disbursement. Each amendment was defeated by a wide margin.
Democrats opposed Katz's amendments because they said the absence of the so-called requalifying option would hurt some candidates in competitive races and ultimately the viability of the clean election program.
The "do-nothing" bill that conformed the Clean Election law with the court decision gives Clean Election candidates one upfront disbursement of campaign funds — $3,937 for House candidates; $18,124 for Senate candidates.
One of Katz's amendments would have increased those amounts to $6,500 for House candidates and $29,000 for Senate candidates. The amendment also would have increased the amount of private seed money candidates could collect when starting up their campaigns.
The limit on individual seed money donations is $100.
The measure was defeated by Democrats and Republicans. The latter opposed it because they did not want the Clean Election program to disburse more money beyond the upfront allocation.
Sen. Phil Bartlett, D-Gorham, said the seed money went against the spirit of the law because candidates could gather more $100 in private donations, presumably from special-interest groups.
"This bill is a missed opportunity," Bartlett said, adding that Mainers had spoken loud and clear against private money in politics when citizens ratified the Clean Election law in 1999.
Democrats also argued that Republicans had resisted strengthening the law because they were protecting their majority in the Legislature. The program is designed to give challengers a fighting chance against incumbents.
Sen. John Patrick, D-Rumford, called the Republican plan an "incumbent protection plan."
Republicans rejected those arguments. Many said they supported the law, but that the re-qualifying option skirted the court decision while increasing the cost of the program.
Sen. Debra Plowman, R-Hampden, also dismissed arguments that increasing the seed money would make candidates vulnerable to corporate interests.
"If you can be bought for $100, then shame on you," Plowman said.
Sen. Thomas Saviello, R-Wilton, who has run as a Clean Election candidate, said candidates knew what they were getting into when they enrolled in the program.
Saviello also rejected the idea that money was the sole determining factor in elections.
"Nothing beats getting out there, knocking on doors," Saviello said.
Republicans and Democrats have made heavy use of the Maine Clean Election Act. Both parties see it as a recruitment tool for candidates who might be averse to asking constituents for campaign money.
Nearly 80 percent of the legislators elected in 2010 ran as Clean Election candidates. | <urn:uuid:0d2e482f-9a54-4073-b2ac-cd4386e60ace> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.sunjournal.com/news/state/2012/03/08/maine-senate-sustains-do-nothing-vote-clean-electi/1165707 | 2013-05-21T20:14:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700497024/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516103457-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.970204 | 1,028 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
