“The Case for Re-opening Carno Station” is a four page document which looks at:
- the Benefits of a station and how it fits in with the Wales Spatial Plan
- the History of the Campaign
- the Implications for Carno of the Proposed Cambrian Line Hourly Service
- Station Costs
The conclusions are as follows:
- A re-opened Carno station would be a major benefit for a large, relatively remote village, which has seen and will continue to see significant population growth.
- The station would facilitate commuting to jobs further afield, including the new Welsh Assembly Government jobs in Aberystwyth, following the Laura Ashley factory closure.
- The station would promote social inclusion, by providing transport for the old, the young and others without their own car. This would reduce the need for “chauffeuring”.
- The station would encourage green tourism and expanded use of the community centre as a conference centre.
- The station would provide crucial environmental benefits by reducing car journeys for work, shopping and leisure purposes.
- There would be spin-off benefits from reduced congestion in Newtown.
- Re-opening of the station would be fully consistent with the Wales Spatial Plan
- The envisaged implementation of infrastructure improvements for the hourly service in conjunction with the installation of the ERTMS signalling system provides a vital opportunity to establish a passing loop at Carno in 2008. This in turn would enable trains to stop at a re-opened Carno station without imposing any time delay on the train service.

Deutsche fires up its Asia ambitions
With the hire of China dealmaker extraordinary Henry Cai from his old shop UBS, Deutsche Bank’s Asia-Pacific chief executive Robert Rankin took another step towards making the bank as successful in investment banking as it is in the markets business. Lawrence White talks to him about what needs to be done next.
FOR A STATEMENT confirming a hire long in the signing and dramatic in its impact on Asian investment banking, the timing and manner of its delivery was ordinary enough. On the afternoon of Sunday July 17 editors and financial reporters across the region received a press release with the following title: "Deutsche Bank appoints Henry Cai Chairman of Corporate Finance, Asia and Head of the Corporate and Investment Bank, China". There had been rumours in Hong Kong and Beijing for months before the announcement that several foreign banks were on the hunt for Cai, a veteran Chinese banker credited with driving his employer UBS’s unparalleled success in mainland China investment banking deals since he joined in 2006. Indeed, a source at Deutsche Bank confirmed to Euromoney as far back as May that the bank was pursuing Cai and had made an offer. Since joining UBS, Cai had worked his team of mainland China bankers hard as they set about propelling the Swiss bank to the top of the country’s – and therefore the region’s – equity league table, earning himself a reputation in the process as one of Asia’s top-five most successful investment bankers.

Information Commissioner Richard Thomas warns of surveillance culture
Laws that allow officials to monitor the behaviour of millions of Britons risk “hardwiring surveillance” into the British way of life, the country's privacy watchdog has warned.
Richard Thomas told The Times that “creeping surveillance” in the public and private sectors had gone “too far, too fast” and risked undermining democracy.
The Information Commissioner warned that proposals to allow widespread data sharing between Whitehall and the private sector were too far-reaching and that plans to create a giant database of every telephone call, e-mail and text message risked turning everyone into a suspect. “In the last 10 or 15 years a great deal of surveillance in public and private places has been extended without sufficient thought to the risks and consequences,” said Mr Thomas, 59. “Our society is based on liberty and democracy. I do not want to see excessive surveillance hardwired into British society.”
He criticised proposals going through Parliament to allow mass data sharing between government departments and the private sector. Campaigners have claimed that Section 152 of the Coroners and Justice Bill would enable the transfer of health and tax records to private companies such as insurance firms and medical researchers.
Last year Mr Thomas — who became head of the independent body charged with safeguarding privacy and freedom of information in 2002 — recommended to ministers that data sharing be allowed only in carefully defined circumstances such as law enforcement, improving public services and for research. They ignored his advice. The Bill “needs to be narrowed”, Mr Thomas said. He called on Jack Straw, the Justice Secretary, to write into it that “anything to justify a data-sharing order has to come explicitly under one of those headings”.
Whitehall sources told The Times yesterday that Mr Straw would amend the Bill in the next few weeks to meet Mr Thomas's criticisms. Previously Mr Straw's department had maintained that there were sufficient safeguards, including a requirement for parliamentary approval for each data transfer.
The Bill also gives the Information Commissioner the power to investigate public bodies without their consent where there has been a suspected breach of data protection law. Mr Thomas complained that the powers did not extend to private companies.
Other government plans also risked undermining people's right to privacy, Mr Thomas said. Of the Home Secretary's proposal to build a database to store information currently held by internet service providers and telephone companies, Mr Thomas said: “A government-run database of the communications of all citizens, every phone call, every e-mail, every text, every internet use; a database of all those activities held by the Government would be a step too far for the British way of life.”
He dismissed Jacqui Smith's assurances that officials would have access only to data on who had contacted whom, rather than the content of the communication. “That A has telephoned B on a particular date from a particular location is actually quite intrusive,” he said. “If an MP logged on to a site selling Viagra, that tells you quite a lot. If a 16-year-old girl goes on to a website about abortion that tells you an awful lot about her too. I don't think there's a black-and-white distinction between traffic data and content.”
Mr Thomas made clear that he did not object to the monitoring of those suspected of involvement in terrorism and serious crime. “But I think that's a very different situation from monitoring the communications of the entire population,” he said. “We've got to have a much clearer distinction between those who are suspects and everybody else and I think we're at risk of making everybody a suspect if we go too far down this road.”
Security services have insisted that modernising the capacity to store and search telephone and internet information is crucial if Britain's ability to combat terrorists and serious organised crime is to be maintained.
Mr Thomas said that forcing government officials to make specific requests every time they needed information — as they currently have to do - provided a crucial safeguard. “If you have a security service or a policeman making an application [to an internet service provider for records], at least each of those applications has to go through a process and is scrutinised by the ISP. That's very different from it all being done behind the closed doors of a governmental agency.”
His concern about the erosion of the right to privacy extends to social networking sites. People did not realise that information put on sites such as Facebook and MySpace could come “back to haunt them”, he said.
Another area of concern for Mr Thomas is the use of surveillance cameras: he criticised the police for pressing to have closed-circuit television cameras installed in pubs. “We've come out against the requirement for pub licensees to fit CCTV as a condition of their licence,” he said. “This is hardwiring surveillance into British pubs. It is unacceptable.”
He also expressed concern that even some schools were now installing cameras in the classroom. He said that it might be acceptable in the case of a particularly unruly class, “but to roll out cameras in all classrooms is unacceptable”.
The Information Commissioner added his voice to criticism of ContactPoint, a computer database containing details on every child in the country.
“I can see the benefits of a national database of children at risk ... I'm less convinced that you need to have a database of every child in the country. Is it not better to have fuller details of children known to be at risk and make sure that information is used properly?”
Other key government surveillance measures had been “pushed through” without proper scrutiny or parliamentary debate. Of a database of DNA gathered from crime suspects, he said: “Clearly, the DNA database was set up with insufficient public debate. Part of the problem was that such debate took place on the assumption that it would be expensive to run DNA tests. The costs have absolutely fallen and it has become a matter of routine. We have to re-examine the issue in the light of current technology.”
He also lamented the lack of debate over the creation of a North London database that records details of car numberplates for up to five years. Mr Thomas questioned whether the Government had the legal authority for this and asked whether the public recognised that millions of their daily journeys were now being monitored. “We have to scrutinise every proposal very closely indeed to ensure that none involves a step too far.”

I have long been saddled with feelings of shame and anger towards myself arising from being wimpy and weak. These emotions, which I haven’t been able to shake off, form a motif in my artwork, visualized as a half-human monster with the head of a beast. Confronted with this unvarnished face which I wish to conceal and flee from, all I can do is put forth a futile effort to face it and the pathetic excuse that I am not the only one who is like this. And when the head of the beast is put on to mask this bare face, the monster I sought to hide is only revealed even more plainly in all its nakedness.

Johnnie Cope Cope sent a challenge frae Dunbar
Sayin "Charlie meet me an' ye daur
An' I'll learn ye the airt o' war
If ye'll meet me in the morning."
O Hey! Johnnie Cope are ye waukin' yet?
Or are your drums a-beating yet?
If ye were waukin' I wad wait
Tae gang tae the coals in the morning.
When Charlie looked the letter upon
He drew his sword and scabbard from
Come, follow me, my merry men
And we'll meet Johnnie Cope in the morning. (Chorus)
Now Johnnie, be as good as your word
Come, let us try baith fire and sword
And dinna flee like a frichted bird
That's chased frae its nest i' the morning. (Chorus)
When Johnnie Cope he heard o' this
He thocht it wouldna be amiss
Tae hae a horse in readiness
Tae flee awa in the morning. (Chorus)
Fye now, Johnnie, get up an' rin
The Highland bagpipes mak' a din
It's better tae sleep in a hale skin
For it will be a bluidie morning. (Chorus)
When Johnnie Cope tae Dunbar cam
They speired at him, "Where's a' your men?"
"The de'il confound me gin I ken
For I left them a' in the morning." (Chorus)
Now Johnnie, troth ye werena blate
Tae come wi' news o' your ain defeat
And leave your men in sic a strait
Sae early in the morning. (Chorus)
In faith, quo Johnnie, I got sic flegs
Wi' their claymores an' philabegs
Gin I face them again, de'il brak my legs
So I wish you a' good morning. (Chorus)

If so, vote for Ben and his teammates to play in the 2013 NFL Pro Bowl!!
“I want to take a second to say thank you to all the fans who voted for me and helped me get back to Hawaii for the Pro Bowl. It is an awesome honor to be voted by my peers and coaches, but even more by the fans and that’s all of you! I wouldn’t have been able to go if it weren’t for all of your votes (no matter how many times you voted, haha). I also want to say thank you for all of you who voted for my teammates, it will be awesome to throw to 2 of my receivers!” — Ben, in his thank you to the fans last year for his selection to the 2012 Pro Bowl.
The NFL is back in Hawaii for the 2013 Pro Bowl.
Balloting ends Dec. 17 after the Jets play Tennessee on Monday night.
The teams will be announced at 7 p.m. on December 26th on NFL Network’s “Total Access”.
The teams come from consensus votes of fans, players and coaches. Each group’s vote counts one-third toward determining the 43-man rosters. Players and coaches will cast their votes between December 20th and 21st.
Offensive players on the ballot: Heath Miller, Antonio Brown (punt returner ballot as well), Emmanuel Sanders, Mike Wallace, Will Johnson, Marcus Gilbert, Max Starks, Willie Colon, Ramon Foster, Maurkice Pouncey and Rashard Mendenhall.
Defensive players on the ballot: Ryan Clark, Ziggy Hood, Brett Keisel, Casey Hampton, Larry Foote, Lawrence Timmons, LaMarr Woodley, James Harrison, Keenan Lewis, Ike Taylor, Troy Polamalu.
Special Teams players on the ballot: Shaun Suisham, Drew Butler and Curtis Brown.
“We’re trying to get him to the Pro Bowl. He’s deserved it for a long time. Heath is a weapon and we have to continue to use him out in the field and in the red zone. Like I’ve always said, he blocks like a lineman and catches like a receiver. If we keep utilizing him it will be big.” — Ben, on TE Heath Miller (who he is also campaigning for to be the next President of the United States) from an interview on September 19, 2012.
So how did Ben do in the 2012 Pro Bowl?
For starters, he finished second in fan voting (935,535 votes) behind New England’s Tom Brady (1.45 mil votes). He remained at the #2 spot after voting was completed by NFL coaches and players.
He was also in the Top Ten in overall votes, finishing at No. 8.
And in the game…
Ben had 6 completions for 181 yards and 2 touchdowns before being replaced in the first half by the Chargers’ Philip Rivers.
He was honored to be voted in by the fans, and thanked them on January 15th, 2011 for doing so!
But if he is fortunate enough to be selected to go again, he doesn’t want to go alone – he’d like as many of his teammates to be on the field in Hawaii with him! So start that voting! Vote early, vote often!
“It’s fun. It’s neat to come out here, it’s an awesome honor and a privilege to be out here with some great players, and guys that you compete with, and to have fun with some of the defensive guys that you get into it with during the season.”– Ben, from his interview with NFL Network on his selection to represent the AFC in the 2012 Pro Bowl.
You can vote for the Black & Gold as many times as you like, and you can get started here!
You can watch video highlights from last year’s Pro Bowl here.
You can read more about the 2013 Pro Bowl here.
You can check out photos of Ben at the 2012 Pro Bowl here, photos from the 2008 Pro Bowl are here.
Richard Culliver poses with his game ball from Big Ben!
According to family friend, Moose Cunningham, young Richard was very excited to receive an autographed game ball from Big Ben that he kept after the Steelers win over the Bengals on October 21st.
If you didn’t get the chance to read Richard’s story, you can do so here.
Richard still needs all our prayers, Steeler Nation! He is fighting a tough battle right now.
– The Augusta SteelMasters fan club is doing a donation drive here. You can also check out their Facebook page here.
– Cristalena Potvinis, the family friend who alerted us to Richard’s story, is also doing a fundraiser with her business – every dollar raised by purchases will be matched by her and given to the family. You can view her site here.
– You can keep up with Richard’s Journey on Facebook here!

When I first started in law, I dealt exclusively with crime and that was sordid. Then I moved into family and that was more sordid. However, until now I have always maintained that the most sordid work I do is contested probate. What can be worse than arguing over the property of someone who has just died? Well now there's an answer to that - arguing over a dead body!
It seems that Congressman Arroyo was a high profile member of the Philippines legislature. He was resident in both California and the Philippines and was domiciled, unsurprisingly, in the Philippines. In the early 90's he married for the second time but by 2005 that marriage had ended in separation. In 2006, he formed a new relationship with Ms. Ibuna and started annulment proceedings - we need to remember that the Philippines is a largely Catholic nation and annulment is to be preferred to divorce. Mrs. Arroyo litigated against him, securing an order excluding him from their family home in 2006.
In 2009, the Congressman made a will which in broad terms gave Ms. Iguna a life interest in his estate with the remainder going to his three daughters. In January 2012, the Congressman was in London for medical treatment - it seems that he had been ill for some time and had often come to London for treatment. On 26th January, he sadly died. By the time of his death, the annulment proceedings had still not concluded, so technically Mrs. Arroyo was in fact his widow.
So then the arguments really begin and they're all about the corpse! The Congressman's partner was well aware of his wishes for his funeral and other formalities and wished to carry them out. The Congressman's estranged wife was prepared to do the same but with one significant amendment - the Congressman had expressed the wish that the wake should be held at his family home. Mrs. Arroyo wanted to hold it at the former matrimonial home which coincidentally was in the same street. However, the suggestion in evidence was that if the wake took place there, the Congressman's partner of the last five or six years of his life wouldn't be allowed to attend.
As a result of this disagreement, the High Court Chancery Division had to hold two interim hearings and then a whole day hearing. Unsurprisingly, especially given that Mrs. Arroyo didn't participate in the hearing, the decision was to honour the Congressman's designation of his partner as his next of kin, with the support of at least two of his daughters. So by order of the English High Court, one presumes that the wake will now take place at 14, Badjao Street and not at 17, Badjao Street. Another triumph of British Justice, the envy of all the world!

Exhibitions and conferences are a major marketing opportunity and making sure that delegates and visitors know who you are and what you do is crucial. The Face Media Exhibition Print range makes sure your branding, strap lines and signage make the kind of impact that will get you noticed and draw in the crowds.
Large format Exhibition Graphics offer you the chance to make a big impression for a big response. With a range of Foamex panels, banners, roll up banners, pop up banners and large format posters you will have everything you need to make a stand or booth of any size really stand out.
Reusable, portable and durable, all our exhibition print products are produced from high quality materials so they retain their sharp definition and bright colours as they're taken from one exhibition to the next, looking smart and professional time after time. The high definition of the print is also preserved on larger banners and posters to make sure your image is never compromised.
Combine our printed products with the pop-up stand frames we supply and you have a winning system. Good looking printed graphics compliment the easy to assemble stands and back drops to produce a professional stand that will impress your colleagues and clients.
And as the design of your stand can make the crucial difference to your success at an exhibition, our professional design team are available to work with to create the attention grabbing graphics that will make the impression you're looking for.
We print our exhibition graphics with solvent inks, which means they won't fade. You can be sure that your display graphics will look great for years.
No matter how late in the day it is, we're sure we can help you. Our Production Team will go to the ends of the earth to get your display to you on time. As long as the systems are in stock, we have even printed systems and had them on a same day courier that afternoon (of course you'd need to pay for it ;)
People spend a fortune on doing an event and forget that the design on your display IS the MOST CRUCIAL thing when generating business in a live environment. Our expert designers will give you a knockout design that generates the maximum amount of business possible on the day.
Consider that you may well use your system for many events over the years, so try to remember that when creating the artwork - As long as you take care of it, your system will be useable for life.
Everything in our Exhibition Graphics range will fit into the boot of a car and can be erected by one person. Everything we offer flat packs, or collapses (when it's meant to!) to make it simple to take around the country or the world without being a burden.
If you have any problems at all - just pick the phone up and we'll sort it out for you. The display industry is saturated with cheap nasty versions of our products that will fail on you after a couple of uses. This is why we use Eurostands. No display product will last forever, but it pays to know that if you have any issues that are not just down to wear and tear you can get a replacement without any hassle.

Views so far. Alyssa M:
My grandfather’s shop has always meant so much to me because it holds memories of not only me but my community that cannot be replaced. My grandfather owns an Iron Work shop in Hollis, Queens, and everyday the people of our neighborhood gather in the front, take out some chairs, and enjoy each other’s company. Now that the pandemic has occurred we haven’t been able to have precious moments like this for months and so I hold that place even closer to my heart.
What concerns me:
My neighborhood is now starting to become more confident about going outside without masks on. I even encountered a man holding an arm to his face in place of a mask when entering my local supermarket. He was still allowed to shop. I fear that my neighborhood is advancing too rapidly and that it will lead to a lot of us getting sick.
Pandemic aside, I think my neighborhood neglects our parks. People of all ages go to our parks and it is sad to see swings broken, sections restricted, and broken cement.
What I would like to see five years from now:
Five years from now I would like to see a neighborhood with far less litter on the ground. I live on a dead end street and everybody feels comfortable leaving garbage at the end so I envision sanitation coming more frequently. I also would like to see more sturdy parks with updated playground sets and new cement.
Share your story of a place that means a lot to you in your neighborhood, and what you would like to see in the future.

A campaign urging everyone in the UK to learn at least 1,000 words of another language has hit a snag.
'We are losing out on international trade and jobs because of our poor language skills,' Vicky Gough of the British Council said.
But many people said they didn't think the campaign would succeed.
'I can't see many Brits struggling to learn 1,000 funny words,' said shop assistant Beth Wilson. 'I mean, that's more than 500 isn't it? It won't work, whatever Vicky...whatever her name is, says.'

Celebrating patient diversity at “International Translators and Interpreters Day”
Located in one of the most culturally diverse regions in the country, UC Davis Health System faces a growing challenge: how to provide high-quality care to a patient population that increasingly is limited in its English-speaking abilities.
The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that one in six Americans speaks a language other than English at home. While most can comfortably speak English when needed, experts estimate that as many as 20 million people — about one in every 15 people in the U.S. — speak and understand little, if any, English.
To address the need of local individuals and ensure they can effectively communicate with their health-care providers, a diverse group of health system staff and administrators came together recently for a breakfast briefing on effective language services, organized around a week-long, worldwide celebration of “International Translators and Interpreters Day.”
The breakfast briefing was coordinated and hosted by UC Davis Health System's Speaking Together team. For the past 10 months, they have been participating in Speaking Together: National Language Services Network, a project funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Its aim is to identify, test and assess strategies for hospitals to provide effective language services to patients with limited English proficiency (LEP). UC Davis is the only medical center in California selected for the program.
“The main goal of the Speaking Together project is to demonstrate that the quality of language services that institutions like UC Davis Health System provide is directly linked to the quality of medical care that patients who are not proficient in English receive,” said Sergio Aguilar-Gaxiola, director of UC Davis' Center for Reducing Health Disparities and the Speaking Together project leader at the health system. “If these patients have difficulty communicating with our medical staff, then they may not be able to relay accurate information like symptoms, underlying health issues, a list of medications they are taking or any allergies they have. It can affect the safety and ultimately the quality of care they receive.”
Aguilar-Gaxiola noted that the project is about self-evaluation. “While all hospitals have health-care providers who are bilingual, those providers are rarely assessed for language proficiency,” he said. “We're putting a mirror up to our faces to reflect how we're doing and identify areas for improvement.”
The Medical Interpreting Services Department at UC Davis Health System provides oral interpreting, written translation, language line, video interpreting, language skills assessment, interpreter training, and cultural presentation services. The department employs 43 interpreters and translators — the largest team of dedicated health-care interpreters in California. The team offers written translation services in seven languages and oral interpreting services in 19 languages. The most requested languages are Spanish, Russian, Hmong and Mien. On average, the department provides interpreters for more than 55,000 patient encounters per year.
For more information about UC Davis Health System's interpreter services, contact Inez Talbott at (916) 734-5395 or e-mail email@example.com. Additional information about the Speaking Together program is available at www.SpeakingTogether.org.

Analyzing the price chart for Mellanox Technologies (NASDAQ:MLNX) has revealed a potential bearish inside day candle pattern. Yesterday's price range of $50.37 and $51.21 is within the prior day's high and low of the day. This trading action often signifies indecision by bulls and bears to drive prices higher or lower and often implies a possible change in trend. Owners of Mellanox Technologies may want to consider a possible hedge in the event a pullback occurs. Look for confirmation in the next few trading days.
Mellanox Technologies Ltd. designs and develops semiconductor-based, high-performance interconnect products. The Company's products facilitate data transmission between servers and storage systems through communications infrastructure equipment.
Mellanox Technologies has overhead space with shares priced $50.77, or 13.3% below the average consensus analyst price target of $58.54. The stock should discover initial support at its 50-day moving average (MA) of $47.24 and subsequent support at its 200-day MA of $44.64.

It wasn’t too long ago that the New Orleans Saints had the perfect formula to frustrate Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady. Before this year, the Saints were 4-0 against the future Hall of Famer in the regular season. Fast forward to 2022, and the success against the Bucs’ starting QB has gone out the window.
On Monday night, the Buccaneers completed the sweep of the New Orleans Saints this season. It was the first time that Tampa had done it since 2007. At one point, the Saints were up by 13 points and were on the doorstep of their fifth win. Within minutes, Brady and the Bucs erased the Saints’ 13-point lead and cruised to another thrilling victory.
The loss has eliminated New Orleans’s hope of getting back into the race to win the NFC South. A victory would have put the Saints at only one game behind Tampa Bay for control of the division. Let’s look at a few crucial takeaways that shifted the outcome of Monday’s game.
Another Stellar Performance by the Saints Defense Was Wasted
The Saints’ defense has always performed exceptionally well against Tom Brady. The unit’s production had gone quite well, dating back to the 49ers game when they could hold San Francisco’s explosive offense to only 13 points. They also limited the Niners’ offense to only one trip to the endzone. On Monday night against Tampa, the Saints defense had many things going their way. They could finally force a few turnovers that could be played in the team’s favor.
However, it won’t matter how well the defense performs when the offense does not capitalize on the opportunities in front of them. Monday’s game had the same flow as the Week 2 matchup in the Dome. The defense was on the verge of pitching another shutout against Brady until mass chaos broke out in the fourth quarter. In the rematch, there wasn’t a fight that broke out; instead, it was inept decisions made by the players and the coaching staff.
Playmakers Not Making Big Plays
Without question, the Saints had a lot of opportunities to put the game away against Tampa Bay. But the offense continues to have the same issues we have seen throughout the season. I am sure that Jarvis Landry was not trying to make the SportsCenter Top 10 Plays for Monday night, but he has to make those types of catches. The Saints would have had another touchdown on the board if the reception had been made.
Before the Landry drop, Chris Olave failed to come down with a reception that would have allowed New Orleans another opportunity to put points on the board. Another sequence where the Saints could have capitalized on Tampa Bay’s shortcomings is when they were deep into their territory only to be penalized for having 12 men on the field.
Instead of the down being third and two, it turned into third and seven because of the penalty. The error by the offense shows how the Saints are poorly coached, even when things are going in the direction. Mark Ingram’s blunder in the fourth quarter sealed the Saints’ fate. Ingram was dealing with significant pain when he decided to go out of bounds instead of pushing forward to pick up the first down. The Buccaneers got the ball back and would win Monday’s matchup after being successful on two back-to-back drives.
What Lies Ahead
After the Buccaneers’ loss, the Saints head into their bye week. They return to action in Week 15 against the Atlanta Falcons. The plan was to win Monday’s game and go into their bye week, which allows players such as Marshon Lattimore and Pete Werner to return from their injuries. There are winnable games on the Saints’ schedule that let them get within reach of the division lead or a possible wild card berth. All of that is out of the window now. They are still mathematically alive, but outside factors out of their control are definitely in play.

“To Know Him is to Love Him.”
(Sallalahu ‘Alayhi Wasalam)
17 February- Commencement of the six week Sisters Seerah Circle, hosted by Awqaf-SA and Madina Institute SA.
It was an inspirational and emotive start as we embarked on a journey of learning about the Greatest Human Being and Prophet to have lived (peace be upon him). It is incumbent upon every muslim to develop a profound love for the Beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
This week gives us an opportunity to reflect, as we learned about the exceptional character traits of the blessed fathers of the Prophet (peace be upon him) Haashim, Abdul Muttalib and Abdullah. We reflected and took lesson from the beautiful connection between the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and His blessed mother Aaminah, as her final words to Him (peace be upon him) echoed, “You are going to be sent to all of creation.”
Next Saturday, we continue as we intend to love, implement, benefit and derive lesson from the Life of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

On Tuesday, the creative department of HTK, where I work as an art director, visited the Minneapolis Institute of Arts to check out the Matisse exhibit. I feel so lucky to work at an agency that encourages and dedicates time for us to feel inspired and re-energized purely by going to an art museum. I can say for certain that we were all on cloud nine during and after viewing the work of Matisse as well as the hundreds of other pieces of work in there. It’s truly amazing to see such historical works of art right in front of your nose.
One of my favorite pieces of the Matisse exhibit was the Jazz book. I don’t know why I had never seen or heard of it before. Matisse was in his 70s when he created this book using cut paper and gouche to assemble the pages. On one side of a spread would be an image and on the other were his thoughts about the images he was creating. There is something really special about seeing Matisse’s thoughts so fluidly drawn out on these pages.
My other favorite pieces of his work were his line drawings of figures. If you think drawing a person with a few simple lines like this looks easy, give it a try. It’s much more difficult than you think. His marks are so fluid and purposeful, but with a hint of swiftness to them. Simply beautiful work. If you’re in the MSP area, make sure to check out this exhibit!

Alexiis heard about the fiesta and wanted to try it out for herself. She showed off the password to get in the fiesta party. She began by showing off her flexibility and bending backwards. She undressed and revealed her luscious body. She sucked that cock nicely. She hopped up on that cock and grinded her pussy on it. She got her pussy pounded and got the cum fiesta all over her pretty face. [Watch Trailer]

Hundreds of Vikings are to invade Belfast via the river Lagan later - but it's all in the name of charity.
Teams of Viking wannabes are taking part
Teams of Viking wannabes are taking part in the seventh annual ChildLine Viking Boat Races.
The bank holiday event helps support the work of ChildLine NI, which has recently joined forces with the NSPCC.
The organisers hope the funds raised will help ChildLine reach its goal of answering every call from every child, the first time they call.
About 160 children try to contact the Northern Ireland call centre daily.
However, due to lack of funds, only about half currently get through to counsellors for the advice and protection they are seeking.
The event gets under way at noon from Cutter's Wharf in the Stranmillis area and finishes at about 1800 BST.

Minas Tirith, 2988 T.A.
After the funeral, Finduilas brother stays, as the custom demands, to help bear the burden. But what aid can come to this heavy house? The walls and the roof may stand, but her death has severed feeling. In her wake remain a speechless man and two dazed boys.
The wintry skies weigh down like stone. Imrahil drifts around the house like a sinking ship. In a pale blue room, he finds the widower, sitting with his hand across his face. Propped beside him, a small boy keeps watch. Their fingers interlock. Quiet, the boys eyes say. He needs to sleep.

For immediate release
Neutrino Hunters Break Ground Underground
Soudan, Minnesota--Deep in a former iron mine in what is now a Minnesota state park, scientists and government officials today (July 20) wielded pickaxes to chip away, at least symbolically, at the mysteries surrounding the subatomic particles known as neutrinos. The miners-for-a-day in the Soudan Underground Mine State Park included Dr. John O'Fallon of the U.S. Department of Energy, Professor Earl Peterson of the University of Minnesota, Dr. Michael Witherell, director of DOE's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Professor Stanley Wojcicki of Stanford University and Minnesota state and university officials. They took the first steps in carving out a huge cavern, half a mile underground, that will be home to a 5,000-ton steel particle detector. Physicists of the 200-member MINOS (Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search) experiment will use the detector to explore the question of neutrino mass.
Until recently, scientists believed that, unlike other fundamental particles of matter, neutrinos possessed neither mass nor electric charge. However, recent results from experiments in Japan, in Soudan itself and elsewhere seem to point to a small mass for these elusive particles. Because they are so numerous-each square meter of the atmosphere contains about 300 million-even a small mass for the neutrino would have big consequences for our understanding of the nature and distribution of mass in the universe.
For the MINOS experiment, physicists at DOE's Fermilab, located 40 miles west of Chicago, will use Fermilab's newly-completed Main Injector particle accelerator to direct an intense beam of one type of neutrinos, called muon neutrinos, to the underground Soudan detector, 450 miles away. Beginning in early 2003, MINOS collaborators will use the detector to determine whether some of the muon neutrinos in the beam have changed to another type, known as tau neutrinos. Such a change, or oscillation, from one type to another, would constitute clear evidence for neutrino mass and would allow physicists to begin to calculate just how much mass the particles possess.
"This is an exciting opportunity in neutrino research," said Secretary of Energy Bill Richardson, whose Energy Department funds over 90 percent of federally sponsored particle physics research in the U.S. "New results are yielding fresh insight into these fundamental particles, and in turn, into the nature of matter and the universe. It is also an excellent example of international scientific cooperation, with hundreds of scientists worldwide participating, and funding partnerships that likewise span the globe."
The MINOS experiment differs from earlier neutrino-mass experiments because it uses an accelerator-produced beam of neutrinos rather than naturally-occurring neutrinos that stream to earth by the billions from reactions in the sun and from cosmic ray interactions in the atmosphere. Earlier experimenters detected fewer solar and cosmic-ray neutrinos than they expected at detectors here on earth, leading them to conclude that one type of neutrino had oscillated to another type and hence"disappeared" from detection. In contrast, the MINOS experiment is designed to detect not only the disappearance of muon neutrinos, but also their appearance as neutrinos of a different type, tau neutrinos.
^ÓThe study of fundamental properties of neutrinos is coming of age," said University of Minnesota Professor of physics Earl Peterson, who manages the, university's Soudan Laboratory."Solar and our own atmospheric experiments have given us very remarkable data and opened up new possibilities for our understanding of neutrinos. Now we need accelerator experiments to resolve the possibilities and answer the questions they have raised."
Locating the detector half a mile below ground allows scientists to screen out cosmic rays that would otherwise flood the particle detector with unwanted signals. The changeover from iron mining to mining the secrets of subatomic particles also provides economic stimulus to the northeastern Minnesota area. The addition of construction jobs and operating personnel at the Soudan site is estimated to contribute up to $15 million to the local economy in the next few years. Iron ore for the $45 million detector's 486 steel plates will come from the Hibbing Taconite Company in nearby Hibbing, Minnesota.
The MINOS experiment is a collaboration of some 200 scientists from DOE's Argonne National Laboratory, the University of Athens (Greece), the California Institute of Technology, the University of Chicago, JINR Dubna (Russia), DOE's Fermilab, Harvard University, IHEP Beijing (Peoples Republic of China), Indiana University, ITEP(Russia), Lebedev Institute (Russia), DOE 's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, University College London, the University of Minnesota, Oxford University, the University of Pittsburgh, IHEP Protvino (Russia), Rutherford Laboratory (England), the University of Sussex (England), Texas A&M, the University of Texas at Austin, Tufts University, and Western Washington University. Funding for the project comes from DOE, the National Science Foundation, the State of Minnesota, and science funding agencies abroad.
Fermilab is a Department of Energy National Laboratory dedicated to frontier research in the field of particle physics. More than 90 percent of the funding for federally sponsored research in particle physics is provided by DOE. Fermilab is operated by Universities Research Association, Inc. under contract with DOE.

Behind the Scenes of Geocaching Podcast: Episode #204 - EU Geocoinfest
Tonight's Geocaching Podcast was a bit unique. We had to do the LIVE recording of it at 7:30pm EST instead of the normal 9:30pm EST. The reason was because our guest "Guido" was from Germany and with the time change it was already 1:30am his time.
Guido was one of the organizers of the EU Geocoin Fest which will be held this August 28th, 2011 in Cologne, Germany. They are boasting it to be the largest Geocoinfest in the world. Apparently they are expecting 1400 geocachers on the main event day. The event goes that Friday, Saturday and Sunday. You can check out the Sunday event by looking up GC2GPHN.
Our guest speaker did a fantastic job and we thanked him for staying up so late and providing such a wonderful overview of everything that is going to go on. You really should listen to the Geocaching Podcast to understand the big picture of everything there.
As far as the early show banter XpunkX and Darrylw4 was a lot of fun as usual. Neither of the guys got to do much geocaching but we did discuss our new toys like XpunkX's new Iphone4 and my IPad 2. Fun was had by all. Be sure to again check out the show when it comes out in the next day or so.
Well that's all for now. Cya next week!
The Geocaching Podcast is recorded each week on Wednesday's at 9:30pm EST. Cya There.

PRACTICAL DEFENSIVE GUN HANDLING - NEXT STEP TRAINING
After you have learned basic handgun skills, gun safety rules, and perhaps even have your CHL/LTC license to carry, your next step toward responsible gun ownership and CONFIDENT CONCEALED CARRY is to develop and practice your DEFENSIVE GUN HANDLING SKILLS.
If you had to rely on your training, skills and weapon to defend yourself, would you be ready?
Learn to handle your gun safely and confidently in a defensive situation. Private classes for individual or small group on-the-range training.
The fact is that most people freeze in an emergency situation, because they have not trained for an appropriate response. Things go wrong in a confrontation, your adrenaline eats all of your coordination, mechanical things break at the worst possible moment, and bad guys do not do what you want them to.
Target shooting, and basic gun skills are something every gun owner should be confident with. But defensive gun training is very different.
The paper target at your gun range is not shooting back at you. In a defensive emergency you must be able to respond perfectly in a split second. This requires planning, training, and skills.
Defensive gun handling skills require specific training and practice to become proficient. These things just cannot be learned in a classroom, online, or as part of a larger group. Our private training sessions will focus on what YOU need to know for YOUR specific life situations.
Our private range-training sessions can help you learn:
- What actually happens in real defensive shooting situations
- Gun handling under stress
- Understanding what constitutes a deadly threat
- Accurate shot placement, rapidly and under stress
- How to properly reload your pistol quickly (tactical reload)
- Malfunction clearances when things go wrong with the pistol
- Use of cover and concealment
- Movement while and after shooting
- Rapid target acquisition
- Dealing with multiple threats
- Engage targets at multiple distances
- Selection of a defensive pistol and accessories
- Selection of defensive and training ammunition
- Safe gun handling for concealed carry
- The draw, holster skills, getting your pistol into action from concealment
Would you bet your life on your defensive gun skills?
We will teach you drills that you can safely practice at home. When you have mastered these come back for another DEFENSIVE HANDGUN session, and do the drills with the instructor at the range with live fire.
You can train alone, as a group of two, or add your family and friends for just $25 each per hour (+ $10 range fees). It makes for a fun, memorable and very affordable 3 - 4 hour private session tailored to your group.

EU foreign ministers agreed last week to impose "smart sanctions" on Mr Mugabe and 19 top associates if Harare prevented the deployment of European observers by the beginning of this week.
The observers' presence was prompted by opposition fears that Mr Mugabe will rig the presidential election next month .
The European Commission said yesterday that some EU officials already in Zimbabwe had been earmarked as observers and that Mr Mugabe had done nothing to block the plans, although no one had yet flown in from abroad.
"We are watching the situation carefully and we continue to have repeated indications from the Zimbabwean government that they intend to invite international observers, so there is no need to take a decision on sanctions," commission spokeswoman Emma Udwin said.
The EU plans to create a so-called "core team" of half a dozen officials this week, she said. "None have so far flown to Harare," Ms Udwin added, declining to give arrival dates.
Asked how Mr Mugabe's government had avoided sanctions if Harare's willingness to allow an EU mission had not really been tested, she said: "They have continued to reiterate that they will be inviting observers."
After the six-strong team has been deployed, a further 20-30 observers will follow and there are plans for 150 to be in place close to polling day.
The threatened sanctions would freeze foreign assets of Mr Mugabe's family and inner circle and bar them from travel. The EU would also ban exports of arms and other equipment that could be used for internal repression.
Mr Mugabe accuses Britain of seeking to undermine his rule. His government has faced international scrutiny since 2000 when its supporters began violent seizures of white farmers' land for redistribution to black Zimbabweans.
Ms Udwin said that the EU observers wanted to ensure freedom for international media during the polls. "Civil society in Zimbabwe... want our observers in and they want us to be witness of what happens," she said.
On Friday, the EU criticised the Zimbabwe parliament's approval of a new law imposing strict controls on the media and restricting access by foreign reporters.

I am super excited to be attending Hot Docs at the end of the month. Not only do I enjoy watching the latest documentaries from around the world, but this festival holds a special place in my heart.
I have been a loyal participant since 2003 when I was a first year Film & TV student at Humber. I remember my script writing teacher telling us all to check out this great film festival called “hot dogs.” (or at least that’s what I heard him say). I took the 1.5 hour Public Transit venture downtown from my Rexdale student Residence and rode my first streetcar down Bathurst street to the Royal Cinema. My friend Amanda and I attended a funny film about Student Loans and from there I was hooked. The following year I volunteered by putting up posters in the Annex and helping out in the office. Then I started an Internship in the Box office. Then I became Box Office Staff. Then they heard about my video obsession and I started filming a few Festival events. Then I became the official Festival Videographer: Interviewing Programmers, Filmmakers and documenting the Press Conference, Opening Night, Parties and other special events. Then the video content exploded and I over-saw a team of 10+ volunteers documenting simultaneous events at several venues, logging footage overnight, editing in the AM and posting online the following day.
What can I say, I love documentaries and therefore love Hot Docs. The staff is incredibly fun and personable and the executive staff are friendly and encouraging, often thanking everyone by name for their hard work. Each April I look forward to seeing my Hot Docs family throughout the many venues and Industry events.
This April will be extra special however as I got accepted into the Documentary Accelerator Program. The program is designed for 18-30 year-olds to get an insider experience at the festival with customized workshops and networking events to refine our skills in pitching, marketing, funding and developing mentoring systems. This means that during the main week of the festival my time will be spent from approx 9am-4pm each day in workshops leaving only my evenings and weekends to watch films. This will be quite an adjustment for me as I am used to seeing 2-4 films per day However this will be an incredible experience to focus on the business side of filmmaking as well as marketing my film “In the Spotlight” and hopefully establishing connections for future projects.
My business cards and one-sheet are ready, my websites are almost complete, and I have started a list of people I want to meet at the Festival. I have read the entire program guide and circled my film choices. Now I just need to see how many films I can fit into my schedule!
If you have never attended Hot Docs before this is the year for you to start!

Considering the popularity and premium prices paid for Atlantic (Maine) lobster, one wonders why they can't be grown commercially on the Pacific Coast. I would guess that about every two years someone must think of trying it. So why won't this species grow well here? Is it the water temperature, the salinity, the profile of the ocean bottom, lack of sufficient food, tidal action, or predators? Or what?
-- Vincent Bashore, Playas de Tijuana, BCN, Mexico
Every time somebody thinks up this idea, I hope they promptly roll over and go back to sleep. There's a reason Bill Gates picked software, not crustaceans. The need for a local lobster farm assumes that wild lobsters are disappearing and prices are out of control. Not true, for the moment at least. Wrangling lobsters takes a lot of cowboys and a lot of land for the tanks. You can't just throw Atlantic lobsters into the Pacific and hope for the best. Lobsters are very tricky to domesticate. From the time they're hatched, each one has to be housed in its own little cubicle. Unfortunately, one of a lobster's favorite meals is lobster. And they fight like cats and, um, cats.
UC-Davis's marine research facility at Bodega Bay spent more than a decade working on the idea of lobster farming. They fiddled with water temperature, salinity, light, and other parameters. They eventually developed a nutritious lobster chow and figured out how to get an animal that matures in seven years to reach market weight in only three years. They turned the females into brood hens, releasing eggs all year long instead of just in the spring. So the technology is there, but it's very expensive. Many have experimented with it, none have succeeded. It's cost effective to farm shrimp, abalone, catfish, crayfish, mussels -- less finicky aquatic life. But for the moment, you're better off dumping your extra millions into the stock market than into an Atlantic-lobster ranch. By the way, the Pacific lobsters served in Puerto Nuevo come from farms scattered along the Baja coast.
I want to add one bit of information to your discussion of the lobster question. About 15 years ago the Scripps Institution of Oceanography had several large tanks in which they were growing and studying Atlantic lobsters. They were actually quite successful but never went out into the open ocean with their experiments. The reason was that whenever they put Atlantic and Pacific lobsters together, the latter would always get wiped out. Yes, they have no claws.... So, the decision was made to not work further at transplanting the Eastern species to our coast for fear of wiping out the local population. Those of us partial to the Maine strain would not have minded seeing that happen, but it wasn't to be.

The children were receiving trauma counselling, playing games and doing puzzles at a UNICEF makeshift childcare centre following a month of devastating earthquakes in Papua New Guinea when the bullets started flying.
They were taking a break from the stresses caused by the February 7.5-magnitude earthquake and hundreds of aftershocks that have decimated villages and shattered communities in the Southern Highlands and Hela provinces, when a fight between two tribes broke out.
UNICEF education specialist Simon Molendijk was with the children in Tari.
“We were organising an activity at child centre, making sure kids can have moments of happiness, keeping their minds off stress and worry,” he said.
“Then the shooting started. We had to keep them calm, put them on the floor to make sure they wouldn't be hit by the bullets.”
While the children were safely evacuated and returned to their families, Molendijk said the event represented an “ongoing emergency” in the region, hampering disaster relief efforts.
More than 180 people were killed after the initial earthquake on February 26, according to the Oil Search Foundation, a not-for-profit working in health and education. The PNG Government estimates 270,000 people are in need of urgent assistance. Of this, 125,000 are children.
However, a combination of landslides, flooded roads, and tribal fighting has made reaching remote communities difficult.
Local journalist Scott Waide said the fights were the result of a long-running feud between tribes, but few details were known about the nature of the conflict.
“They’re payback killings, payback for other deaths,” he said.
Waide said the latest fight erupted last week in Tari, where UNICEF was caring for the children.
Five locals were killed, two were minors.
Hela Governor Philip Undialu said the fights were a direct result of the earthquakes.
“The enemy tries to move to safer places. They come across one another and attack,” he said.
Undialu said 100 military personnel had been mobilised to help secure public safety in Tari.
Monash University politics and international relations lecturer Aleks Deejay said natural disasters often spurred conflict in developing countries.
"A big natural disaster can be such a sudden, disruptive event that if they strike in certain areas that are already experiencing vulnerabilities related to security they can ignite more serious conflict," he said, attributing conflict to the depletion of resources, disruption of public institutions and infrastructure, and migration.
Secretary General of the PNG Red Cross Uvenama Rova said tribal fights in the region were a constant ongoing issue, and had disrupted the communities' ability to help one another.
"The PNG way is to help your neighbour, but with tribal conflict, it is difficult to reach out to those affected," he said.
The Red Cross will on Monday assist the Koma, Tawa, and Denaria communities close to the earthquake's epicentre which have not yet received aid, delivering non-food items including mosquito nets, jerry cans, hygiene kits, medications and other necessities.
Amid the continuing aftershocks, the violence, overcrowded conditions and lack of necessities in temporary shelters, humanitarian organisations say they are concerned about the impact of disease and trauma in the wake of the destruction.
Before the earthquakes, children in PNG were already at high risk of violence and physical and emotional abuse, UNICEF reported.
“The behaviour of children has definitely changed [since the earthquake]. Kids are withdrawn, they don’t like to go out. The toxic stress affects them not only now, but also later in life,” Molendijk said.
UNICEF PNG representative Karen Allen said in a statement the organisation’s main concern was the psychological health of the children.
“Psychological damage among children should not be overlooked. It can have a negative impact on children’s brain development, mental health and overall wellbeing in the long run,” she said, adding children who have suffered from trauma have an increased risk of delayed development, mental health disorders, depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicide.
However, children are not the only ones impacted.
Oil Search Executive Director Stephanie Copus-Campbell has been based in PNG since the initial earthquake, and said she feared the worst for villagers' mental health.
“People are really, really, really distressed… they’re scared,” she said.
She said women were most at risk as their trauma was compounded by the risk of gender-based violence.
“There’s a lot of concerns for women.. Families are experiencing more stress and trauma, it’s an environment where violence is more likely.”
In conjunction with Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the Papua New Guinean government, Oil Search has established care centres for women and "waiting villages" for expectant mothers to give birth. It has also deployed two counsellors trained in trauma counselling.
The organisation had turned its attention from physical injuries to disease and psychological trauma in the wake of the destruction.
“We first assisted in injuries, but now it’s cases of disease. There’s diarrhoea, respiratory conditions, crowded situations," Copus-Campbell said.
“We keep hearing of more deaths.”
UNICEF PNG is currently setting up 26 child-friendly spaces to provide psycho-social support services for more than 14,000 children in the severely-affected provinces of Hela and Southern Highlands.
The organisation is in need of $17 million to continue its relief effort, providing clean water and sanitation in temporary shelters, as well as vaccinations, malnutrition treatment, and support for children to return to school.

The FTC staff report, for instance, had proposed restrictions on so-called "hot news" to restrict how much material from one source could be repurposed by others. Google just doesn't agree, nor does it support taxes to strengthen news organizations or proposals that would charge aggregators to carry content.
Rather, Google views the transformation of business models as an event that should not include meddling. It is up to organizations and the market to figure it out, not for government to ride to any rescue of the status quo. It notes that creators can already keep their content from being indexed if they wish, but it also notes that its search engine drives readership and consumption to those sites --- and ultimately, advertising and revenue.
"Maximizing the monetization of online traffic will require innovation and experimentation," it notes in its submission to the FTC.
But: "The ultimate solutions that will result in a new online equilibrium for the news industry cannot, however, be mandated by changes in the regulatory framework on in copyright laws."

I kept thinking about this when I was in San Antonio working on Born on a Mountaintop.
I had followed Crockett's footsteps from his east Tennessee birthplace to the Alamo, hoping to learn how a remarkable life and a mythic afterlife had come to be permanently intertwined. Parker's screenplay made me wonder: What would the real David Crockett think if he could somehow transport himself to 21st-century San Antonio? How astonished would he be to find a neon Crockett Hotel sign looming above the Alamo church, or a boisterous school group posing for photos in Alamo Plaza -- perhaps within yards of where he died? And what on earth would he make of the sight of his great-great-great grandson, David Preston Crockett, decked out in homemade Davy gear and posing in the plaza as well?
My book ends with a chapter set in San Antonio, and reporting it was a fascinating, often moving experience. I got to hear Crockett descendants sing backup on "The Ballad of Davy Crockett" in the Spanish Governor's Palace. I watched the sun rise behind the Alamo, 175 years after the battle, during a ceremony that honored both the defenders and their Mexican foes. I set out to examine every spot where David might have died, as well as all the places his ashes could have ended up. (There are many of both.) And I heard a couple of Crockett-obsessed Australians give a PowerPoint-enhanced lecture they called "Portraits of David Crockett's Last Stand: Iconography and Symbolism of Heroics throughout Western Culture."
Parker died at 85, shortly before my first San Antonio trip in 2010, and the Alamo put out a memorial book for visitors to sign. My favorite entry shows how little the line between reality and myth can matter when it comes to characters we love and stories that help us figure out who we are.
"I'll miss you Fess (Davy)," it reads. "You were part of my childhood. God Bless."

IntroductionIt's been quite a while since I've reviewed an MSI graphics card. Even their much publicised switch to being a dual-vendor AIB, accommodating both NVIDIA and ATI's GPUs in their spectrum of graphics products, passed me by. Regardless of them touching my static-charged hands or not, MSI continue to do aggressive business in the graphics card market. Their position at the top of the pile, in terms of global sales, has only been cemented by their introduction of ATI-based products to their range. They sell more bits of PC that draw pretty pixels on your screen than anyone else.
So it's about bloody time we had another look at their wares, eh?
It just so happens that MSI got in touch recently and wondered if we'd like a look at a pair of their newest ATI Radeon products. So I appropriated the cards for a few weeks and cast my eye over both offerings. Tarinder, in our last review of an MSI board (their FX5950 Ultra), said "MSI rarely does generic and it rarely fails to include the proverbial kitchen sink. "
Would that ring true once again? Are MSI still all about the bundle? Time to find out then, as I take a look at two of the fastest graphics cards to grace the planet at the time of writing; X800 XT on PCI Express and X800 XT Platinum Edition on AGP. MSI calls them both RX800, differentiating between the two with nothing more than a 'PCI Express' or 'Platinum Edition' box marking. Let's look closer, PCI Express version first.

Taken From the Henry Republican, Henry, IL
July 20, 1876
The following history of Putnam county, was prepared and read by George S. Parks, Esq., one of the citizens, at the centennial celebration, held at Magnolia, July 4th:
"It has been allotted me to sketch briefly, the history of our county, from its first settlement in 1826 to 1876. I shall notice briefly the life-work of the early settlers, step into their cabins, look at their household furniture, and enjoy their amusements and hospitality. I shall trace the changes in customs, in education, in literature, in religion, and the progress we have made in the useful and the ornamental. While noting our achievements, I feel it due to history to speak of the errors and evil influences, that follow even the track of freedom and progress; while human nature remains the same, it requires supervision and control. Liberty is liable to excess. Untried reforms sometimes become abuses, religion may degenerate into skepticism, and the material and intellectual overshadow the moral education. Such dangers can only be averted by the track of progress cleared of all obstructions by the unceasing vigilance and supervision of our best citizens.
In 1673, Marquette and Joliette first discovered the Illinois river and explored the adjoining country. During the long ages back, since creation dawned, this wonderful country was unknown to history. This land for thousands of years had been gathering richness, and opening out in beauty, preparatory to its occupation by a people of skillful industry, and the highest civilization. LaSalle made further discoveries in 1679. Father Hennepin also visited this region, with a view of exploring the country and civilizing the Indians, who were very numerous along the Illinois river. Illinois signifies in their language "the men". It is not an inappropriate name even at the present time.
The river and state of the men, Starved Rock and a few mounds or burial places, are about all the mementoes we have of the powerful race that once trod our prairies, built their camp fires in our groves, and bathed in our flowing streams. Will the time ever come when this people in turn shall pass away and leave scarce a vestige behind? God forbid! May we build upon principles immutable and eternal; and preserve unimpaired, from age to age, the rich inheritance bequeathed us!
The French made a few settlements along the Illinois and Mississippi rivers. They lived in peace with the Indians, their wants were few, and tastes simple; with hunting and fishing, talking and visiting, singing and dancing, the stream of life flowed on with scarce a ripple or a care. "Oh!" said a French lady near Peoria to me, in 1831; "We were so sociable and made each other so happy before the Americans came, pushing and striving; we shall never see such happy days again." The French made little impress upon the country. The king of England granted the colony of Virginia, by charter, all the country northwest of the Ohio river. Virginia, in 1778, sent Col. Clark with four companies of mounted rangers, to conquer the French and take possession of the territory. Once of the rangers informed me in 1831, that they came up through the prairies on the east side of the Illinois river. They found them softer and more difficult to ride over than at present; but surpassingly beautiful and fertile. The upper Illinois appeared to them in many places "like a natural canal passing through natural meadows." Col.
Clark took formal possession of the country, and in the same year, Virginia by act of her legislature established the country of Illinois, a country of no mean dimensions, embracing the whole northwest. In 1784, Virginia in the fullness of her liberality and patriotism, ceded it to the United States. It was then divided into states and territories. Illinois became a state in 1818. The more southern part of the state was settled first and settlements moved north.
FIRST SETTLEMENT OF PUTNAM COUNTY
Our first settler Capt. Wm. Haws, was born in Orange county, Virginia, September 25, 1800. His father emigrated to Ohio in 1805. William, who was always noted for his honesty, economy and Industry, when he was 21, came to Sangamon county, and in November 1826, moved up and made the first settlement in Putnam county. In the following spring, Stephen and James Willis came and settled a claim east of Capt. Haws, now included in farm of Isaac Parsons. John Knox, settled on the south side of Magnolia, and his son, at the head of Clear Creek timber, near Capt. Price's in 1827. About the same time Mr. Bailey moved from South Ottawa to Bailey's point, and the Messrs Hilterbrands, Hannum and Graves, with large families, settled in the Oxbow prairie, and Jesse Roberts settled south of Sandy creek in 1828. Mrs. Sarah Glenn, now aged 82 years, came in 1832, and Mrs. Ann Shields, aged 86, came from Tennessee, in 1833. Both have many honored descendants. I first visited this county in 1831; settlers then were beginning to come in quite fast.
Putnam county was organized in March 31, at the house of Capt. Haws. The first court was held at Hartsell's old trading house, one mile above Hennepin. The first grand jury sat under the shade of an oak tree. Hennepin was laid out in 1831, and made the county seat. The county was then 40 miles square. Since then, her proportions have been shamefully mutilated, and her citizens should never rest until her just rights of territorial equality were awarded her off of the overgrown counties contiguous to her.
The Blackhawk war opening in 1832. The soldiers were struck with the beauty and fertility of the country, and spread its fame abroad, which caused a rush of emigration that soon settled up the country. Hartsell sold Indian goods. Williamson and James Durley opened the first store in Hennepin.
FIRST BUILDINGS, FARM UTENSILS, GRAINS, STOCK, PRICES, ETC.
Capt. Haws, like most of the early settlers, built his first house of round poles, split puncheons for his floors, also for his doors, hewing them thin, pinning, and hanging them with wooden hinges, riving boards for roof, and keeping them on with weights, chimneys were made of sticks and mortar, and rock was carried from the creek to build the jambs. No nails were used. They worked with old fashioned prairie plows, and with single barshire, every man stocking his own plows and making everything needed.
They usually raised from 20 to 30 bushels of good winter wheat to the acre, tramped it out on the ground, cleaned it in the wind and sold it for 40 cents per bushel. They tended corn with barshire and single shovel plows, and usually raised about 50 bushels to the acre. It was usually tramped out on the ground, pounded in a barrel or shelled by hand, at corn shelling parties, and sold from 10 to 25 cents a bushel. Samuel Glenn says his father bought corn of Aaron Whitaker, in 1833, for 6 1/4 cents per bushel. In 1841 they commenced shipping corn to New Orleans; it brought 15 cents a bushel.
They raised and bought stock as fast as they could get the means. There was little or no sale of cattle; three years old steers brought $9 per head; cows sold at $7 to $12; hogs were easily raised, they found most of their living in the woods. The earliest settlers sold pork for $3 per 100; during the rush of emigration it sold for $10 per 100. After the country was settled, it sometimes sold as low as $1.50 per 100. For several years past it has ranged from $3 to $8. Cows have been selling from $30 to $60 per head and fat steers often bring from $60 to $120 per head. Oxen were mostly used in early years, but are now supplanted by horses.
Travelers were furnished a good meal for 12 1/2 cents. The settlers laid up every dollar to buy land. They raised sheep enough to have wool to make their own clothing, often going 50 miles to get the wood, carded. Before horse mills were erected, they had to go 100 miles to mill. The Buel Institute, the first agricultural and horticultural society in the state, was organized at Granville, and has always flourished.
MANNERS SOCIABILITY, DRESS, FURNITURE, ETC.
The early settlers were free and open, sociable and respectable. There was often strife after meeting who should take home and entertain friends; all were kind, like brothers. Fishing, hunting bees, turkies (turkeys) and deer, furnished fine sport and good living. Household furniture and clothing, being mostly home made, was not subject to fluctuating prices, at (and) it cost at all times just the labor to make it. They spun and wove, and sewed, they hewed out timber and framed bedsteads, tables and cupboards; hung their clothes on pins. They brought with them pewter and tin plates and cups. They had no expensive outfits.
The young ladies dressed in homespun or calico. It was becoming, they looked very pretty, at least I thought so. In courtship the same modest demeanor and decorum characterize our young ladies as of old. I have no changes to note, not having recently interviewed the young ladies on the subject. Girls early learned to do housework. It was considered a most honorable accomplishment. In busy times they were not ashamed to work in harvest and having fields, and often plowed corn for weeks; yet, it is curious, some of their descendants, with all their schooling, don't know what a plow is, and can't handle it.
Mr. S. Glenn informs me they used to haul wheat to Chicago in 1840-1-1, and in sold for 40 cents a bushel, half in trade. They went in companies of 8 and 10, took 40 bushels of wheat and 10 oats to feed and provisions, and camped out. They all reported what each spent, and if they spent more than $1 the girls laughed at them, and if they bought cigars, whisky or any useless thing, they called them spendthrifts and gave them the mitten. This reminds me of a youngster who recently went to Chicago and spent $25, and now the girls called him stingy. Our economical girls in early days had a little human nature in them. They used to walk to church in their common shoes and just before they got there, put on their fine shoes and walked in the peer of any lady.
The early settlers gave 50 cents a 100 for making rails, and from $10 to $12 per month for hired hands. Girls hired out at $1 per week. The condition of the great body of our laboring people is indicated by the amount of their wages. The present high prices show clearly an advance in knowledge, skill and civilization. Wages in England 200 years ago were 8 cents a day with board, and 16 cents a day without board.
"We will make them work hard for a sixpence a day.
Though a shilling they deserve if they had their just pay."
The price of agricultural labor in England has more than doubled in the last 200 years. From 40 to 50 cents a day is paid, while $1.50 is paid for the same labor in Putnam county. The valley of the Nile is just as fertile now as when it was the granary of the world. The wages of the agricultural laborer there at this time is 10 cents a day, and now they propose, with their cheap labor, to compete with our high priced labor in furnishing Europe with grain. Thus it appears that labor is higher in Putnam county than in any other part of the north. The price is only limited by the question whether the laborer can make his wages clear off the farm.
The high price of labor has a tendency to make the laborer indifferent to the interests his employer. They forget that care, skill and brains are of more value and in greater demand than muscle. Thus we see the condition of laborers has vastly improved; while the cost of living has not made a corresponding advance. A man can raise his own provisions now as cheaply as ever; it only costs his labor. Clothing, calico and hardware are cheaper, while groceries, and a few things are dearer.
Wages are more than double what they were in early days. We therefore see no reason why the industrious, skillful laborer practicing the same economy cannot advance to competence even faster than the first settlers. We know it is easier to spend money now, and some more is required as civilization advances, yet it can be made faster. I know the old settlers were benefited by the rise of land; but it must admitted that they endured long years of toil and low prices.
Our first fences were made of rails. I have seen oak rails 30 years old. After a while board fences were extensively made in the prairie. Then came the era of planting osage, and making hedge fence, and many of our farmers have their farms entirely enclosed with permanent live fences. Extreme drouths (droughts) followed by the cold winter of 1874 and 1875 injured our hedges, but by continually planting seed grown in this climate I have no doubt the osage will become more hardy, and be able to stand our climate.
Recently much improvement in barbed wire fence has been made, some kinds are quite cheap and popular. These kinds of fencing will enable us to get along with much less timber in future years. In the mean time it would be the part of wisdom to preserve our white oak groves and plant out white ash and black walnut for future use.
Capt. Haws brought some apples from the American bottom and planted the seed in 1827. Some of these trees are now bearing. He next procured some trees from a nursery near Peoria. Afterwards, Mr. Myers started a nursery, and other nurseries were established in the county, and orchards extensively planted. Cherries, gooseberries, currants, raspberries, strawberries and blackberries, are now found at almost every farm house. They are hardy and prolific. Plums and peaches grew and bore very well in an early day, but our late extreme cold winters and the curculio have been hard on them. We can yet get a pretty fair crop of miner and wild goose plums, and of some kinds of seedling peaches. Grapes grew well both in the prairies and timber. Smiley Shepherd, an early settler on Hennepin prairie, has long had extensive vineyards. We them in almost every garden. Concord for the table and Virginia Seedling for wine, are the most hardy and prolific. Domino, Jonathan, Ben, Davis, Winesap, Sawyer and Willow Twig, are not considered our most profitable apples.
PRESERVATION OF SOIL
When Joshua entered Palestine he found its red limestone hills fertile and productive beyond description. Why, it took two men to carry the sample grape cluster, back to the camps of Israel! Long ages of unskillful culture, and constant cropping has worn out the soil. It is washed in gullies and thorns and desert wastes appear, and the Jews, that great historic people, have flickered out. Starvation and the judgments of heaven have sent them peddling over the world. It becomes us to avert such a calamity. Already constant cropping begins to tell on wheat and corn. It is sad to see our fertile fields declining. History tells us nations decline with their soil. Patriotism calls us to duty. Let us put our feed lots on high farm land, not by the creeks where the manure will all wash down to fill up Capt. Ead's jetties. Let us save and haul out manure and plow our land so as to prevent washing.
Mr. Swindler informs me he raises better crops than he did 22 years ago. He stocks his farm with hogs and cattle; sells no grain; alternates with meadow and pasture, saves all his manure, and spreads it on his meadow, before the fall rains, and after a while breaks his meadow and seeds down his corn land; with such a culture instead of declining, our lands will be improving from year to year; thus preparing a great future for our beloved country. It is thought by some that with our high priced land we cannot compete in stock raising with the cheap lands west. I believe in the long run we can. The range there is running down. We have the advantage in freight, and they cannot fatten their stock for the spring market, nor can they raise so fine stock; Illinois will ever continue to lead the market with her Durhams, her Berkshires, her Magees and her Poland China. Stock raising in England is now more profitable than ever. The high priced pastures in the valley of the Teeswater, compete with the world; and England now raises more wheat to the acre than she did 100 years ago.
The early settlers looked to the Illinois river along to carry their produce to market, next to canals and deepening the Illinois and opening the mouth of the Mississippi. Next came the era of railroads. Some thought they would frighten cattle and cheapen lands. C. Hunt thought they would cheapen the price of horses. Now their network covers the country, and it is proposed to build a double track steel railroad, exclusively for freight, from New York through the great central grain growing regions of the west to the Missouri river. With continuous trains running each way; it is estimated that corn can be carried from Illinois to New York for 10 cents a bushel. Thus we see facilities for taking our produce to foreign markets are improving from year to year, while home markets are growing; all inuring to the benefit of agriculture, which now looms up the great leading interest of our country.
It is to be regretted that in early days, our facilities for education were meagre. Schools were occasionally opened and from $2 to $3 per quarter per scholar was paid by the parents. Since then the system of free schools has been inaugurated, and it is the glory of our country that every youth in our land, come from where he will, can obtain an education free of cost.. But while deprived of school in our early life, they received special parental training in the practical pursuits of life. Being deprived of school privileges, parents were more vigilant than they are now in instructing them in the great practical work of life.
Every young lady was early learned how to do all household work, and trained to skillful management to all domestic affairs, while young men practiced all farm work, with the care of stock, and the skillful management of business. With such there is no failure. I find no Putnam county farmer, following such early instructions, who has failed. In our new settlements west, an Illinois farmer is everywhere welcomes as the harbinger of prosperity. Skillful labor requires a knowledge of nature. The deepest wisdom is drawn from nature's ample stores. There we find the working truths of God, in the growth of our stock, in our grain, our plants and fruits. Our youth, versed in such knowledge when they go forth, feel and know that they have the power within them that insures success in life.
Our first settlers met like brothers in their cabins to worship God. Rev. Jesse Walker from the mission near Ottawa used to preach once in a while. They held their large meetings in their groves, where the whispering winds murmured among the leaflets, and where nature's great solitudes reigned supreme. It is there philosophers gather wisdom. When Jesus Christ came to earth to help his children, he drew them away from the busy haunts of life to the wilderness, and there he brought life and immortality to light.
As years rolled away and prosperty (prosperity) came, our early settlers built churches in all our towns and in all large neighborhoods. They established Sunday Schools for the diffusion of moral principles. The Sunday School taught the great truths of the bible, and the church was the conservator of its highest, purest morality. It was the moral power thus gathered that led to our prosperity, and laid the sure foundations of justice, equality and freedom. I fear impartial history will show that the active religion of these fathers is on the wane in many neighborhoods. The pursuit of wealth and the cares of business engross the whole time and every thought, and the moral training is left to chance and the schools. God, when he instituted families, designed the parent as the early moral instructor. Men never forget their early instruction in the home of their childhood. It is well now to call attention to these departures from duty, that they may be corrected and the consequent judgments of heaven averted.
With all our drawbacks, a glance at the past and present shows a rapid advance, physically and intellectually; which must be gratifying to the venerable fathers as they pass away, and their prosperity take their place upon the busy stage of human action. Nor need they fear the loss of liberty, during the late civil war. Magnolia township alone furnished 133 soldiers to the war in 10 different regiments, besides more to others. The fires of patriotism burned as brightly as it did when our fathers fought for independence 100 years ago. Our young men were ever ready to sacrifice themselves on the altar of patriotism, and at the call of their country, stepped quickly forth, singing as they came, "We are coming Father Abraham, 500,000 more." On every battlefield their valor shown conspicuous, and added to the marshal glory of their country.
In peace or in war the sons of Illinois will ever stand the bulwarks of their country. A glance at our country now, shows how we have improved our stock and methods of transportation to market; how we have improved our agricultural and household implements, so that one person can do more work now than two could in our early days. These improvements are not intended to foster idleness, but to wake up the mind to still greater efforts, and give time for mental and moral improvement, and I venture to predict that the next half century will show even greater improvements than the past.
In the last 50 years, our early settlers have built the beautiful dwellings that now adorn our land; the barns and out houses; the school houses and churches; the roads and bridges; planted our hedges, our shade trees, and our blooming orchards; laid out our green lawns, our fruit, vegetable and flower gardens; our parks and pastures; and covered our fields with waving grain; showing a landscape, unequaled in beauty and grandeur; and a prosperity such as the annals of mankind afford no parallel.
Such a legacy the fathers and mothers, who settled this land, have wrought for their descendants. Young men and young women, when you enter upon your inheritance, "honor thy father and they mother"; reverence the aged; bow to them as you pass; remember their virtues, and treasure up their words of wisdom, and cheer their last days, ere they pass away to their eternal home. With these appliances and this inheritance to start with; what may our sons and daughters not achieve in the next 50 years?
Situated in the great valley, midway between the two oceans, there opens a broad and ample field for enterprise and genius. Here in the center of wealth and power, of civilization and Christianity, may the sons and daughters of Illinois, in the future, as in the past, ever stand the eternal pillars of knowledge and progress, of freedom and glory.

519 Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 It was a little smokey cooking them. But they turned out ok. Dry Rub: 4 cups - BROWN SUGAR 2 TBL. Spoons- SALT 2 TBL. Spoons- GARLIC SALT 4 TBL. Spoons- PEPPER 4 TBL. Spoons- CHILI POWDER 2 TBL. Spoons- CINNAMON PREP. Peel or cut off sineuy layer, on bone side. (If your in a hurry just put a slice thru the layer between each rib. It lets the rub flavor in. ) Blanch ribs in 4 cups water, 1 cup white wine vinegar. ( Boil in a wok or pan 5 min. each side ) You may need to add more liquid as you go. Let ribs cool, drain & dry for 30 + min. on a baking rack with cookie sheet under them. Apply dry rub to both sides. Cover with food wrap & let stand for 1 TO 3 hours. COOKING: Over charcoal, with TABASCO OAK wet wood chips for smoke. ( or alder, etc.) Cook covered about 45 min. to 1 hour @ 300* Turning every 5 - 7 minutes ( Don't burn them ) Remove from the grill when ribs are 150* in the meaty part. On a platter or large bowl, cover ribs with foil. Set aside to finish cooking, for 10 - 15 min. NOTE: The vinegar starts the meat decomposition, and that tenderize's the ribs. It works on any type of ribs. I also cut the cooked ribs up between the bones, so there easier to serve and eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Glamour of Belville Salloon
Fashion and Textile Museum
September 20- January 11
Bellville Sassoon has been synonymous with high fashion for over 50 years. As Britain’s foremost couture label from the 1960s onwards, founder Belinda Bellville with designers David Sassoon and Lorcan Mullany, dressed many of the world’s most stylish women, including Diana, Princess of Wales. This exhibition traces the history of British glamour from the couture houses of the late 1950s, to the celebrities who became clients of the company. It also explores the influence of ready-to-wear and Vogue patterns.

We generally ship via US Postal Service first class or priority mail This service can be a quick as overnight and up to 3 days in the lower 48. They even deliver on Saturdays. For 9 ounces and up the postage is $5.39 - a great value considering the price of gas and your valuable time. Since most teas are $3.50 an ounce, 12 ounces of tea will get you free shipping.
Please contact us for other countries. We can quote you shipping.
1 teaspoon per 8 oz of water. Fluffy leaves like some Oolongs, use 2 teaspoons. For stronger tea use more tea.
There is no hard and fast rules on steeping except over steeping may make tea bitter. If you are unsure, try cooler water and shorter steeping times.
Below are general steeping instructions. For best results, follow the steeping instructions that came with your tea.
To estimate water temperature use a thermometer or wait a 2-3 minutes after the water stops boiling. Then the water temperature should be about 165- 185 F. You can gauge water temperature by looking at the bubbles forming at the bottom of the tea kettle. When pin size bubbles form, the water temperature is about 185F. To take the guess work out of water temperatures, try our electric tea kettle.
|Tea Type||Steeping Temperature||Steeping Time|
|White Tea||170-185 F||1-3 minutes|
|Green Tea||170-185 F||2-3 minutes|
|Oolong Tea||170-190 F||2-3 minutes|
|Black Tea||200-212 F||3-5 minutes|
|Tisanes||212 F||4-7 minutes|
Fruit and herbal teas are also referred to as tisanes.
The scene is well known to Moroccans and visitors alike: an afternoon or evening on one of the city's many rooftop gardens. Steam rising from the tiny glass cups preferred for hot beverages. Local herbs abound and perfume the air. Chiefest and most fragrant among them is, of course, mint.
Mint teas are known round the world as one of the simplest warm tonics available. Mint itself alone can be heated and brewed as a mild tea. But its real strength, as in foods, lies in the potent ways that the cooling herb can be blended.
In Moroccan Mint green tea, that elegance is embodied in the blend of just two ingredients: green tea and peppermint. For anyone who appreciates the inherently healthy boost of limited ingredient dishes, this tea is a prime example. For green tea lovers looking to add a dash of zip to their favorite blend, Moroccan Mint will come as a welcome surprise.
Green tea is lauded as soothing herbal answer to the many rich tisanals out there. Invigorating and refreshing, it divides tea drinkers – some of whom find it just the right astringent tone and some of whom wish that it were a little richer. Now there's a blend that satisfies both desires, and adds an exotic flare to the mix as well.
Moroccans take such personal delight in their green mint tea that it is often the topic of conversation for long afternoon hours, with people comparing and contrasting the quality of different particular brews. For guests, it is an absolutely necessary welcoming item. In city shops and bazaars; shopkeepers will often offer a tray of glasses to visitors who seem like they might spend some time...and some money.
Moroccan Mint green tea is an uncomplicated pleasure – evocative and precise. Sure to be enjoyed and requested by all partakers.
Base leaf: Organic Green tea and Organic Peppermint
Health properties : Source of antioxidants. Source of immune-system boosting catechins
Flavor strength: Mild, crisp, astringent. Primary collection is mint.
Caffeine : low.
I got the pitcher and Moroccan mint tea and love them both. I did the cold brew and the tea is very refreshing.
Fast shipping, supierierior product, free samples with order, and a personal touch wonderfully packaged and well sealed, and very reasonably priced. I stocked up (a couple pounds) on Teavana’s Moroccan mint green tea over a year ago. I’ve been shopping for a replacement- this is absolutely it!! Yeah!
Divine taste. I use Moroccan Mint as part of an iced tea blend I make for myself, but often drink it on its own to relax. Uplifting aroma, calming tea. If you can, go to the "brick & mortar" store - you can sample the wonderful teas and get advice and what you need to brew your tea to its best advantage, hot or cold.

The Holy Ground Project: Choose a spot on the grounds to visit and look closely, to see nature at work. Visit it every couple of weeks this spring and beyond to see how it changes. Take a stake from the Gathering Area to mark your spot. You can borrow a magnifying glass to look closely. If walking outside is hard for you, choose one of the squares on our windows to look out of, and notice the advancing spring that way. This project is an invitation from our Creation Care Task Force, in the spirit of our mission to cultivate love of God’s creation.
Ladies’ Night Out, Friday, March 31, 6pm: Due to weather, we canceled last month’s event, so we will be meeting at Amber Indian Restaurant at 6913 University Avenue in Middleton. Please come join us for good food and good conversation.
Architects’ On-Site Design Process, Sunday, April 2: On April 2nd, the next part of our planning and design process with Engberg Anderson Architects will take place right under our roof here at St. Dunstan’s! Beginning at 9AM that morning, and continuing into the early afternoon, architects from EA will set up shop in our building in the Meeting Room. They will be working on concept drawings and sketches for different ways in which the various ideas generated by all of you over the last several weeks can best be incorporated into our building – whether by renovating the space we have, or by looking at modest ways to expand it as needed. The process promises to be interesting, a bit messy, and a lot of fun! Bill and Mike, and members of your Discernment committee, hope you will take the time to stop by, see what they are working on, ask questions and share your comments on their work. The more input they get from the members of St. Dunstan’s, the better their work will reflect our goals, dreams, and the mission of our parish. Make plans to allow time for a visit, either before leaving church, or by returning later in the day.
Birthdays and Anniversaries will be honored and Healing Prayers will be given this Sunday, April 2, as is our custom on the first Sunday of the month.
MOM Special Offering, Sunday, April 2: This Sunday, half the cash in our offering plate and any designated checks will be given to Middleton Outreach Ministry’s food pantry. Here are the current top-ten, most needed items: canned meat, all types; shelf stable milk; quinoa, barley, other whole grains; salt, pepper, spices; protein/granola bars; low sugar canned/dried fruit; cooking oil/olive oil; honey or sugar; laundry detergent; toilet paper & paper towels. Thank you for all your support!
Maundy Thursday Meal Sign-up: Our Maundy Thursday liturgy (April 13, 6pm) includes a shared meal as we remember Jesus’ final meal with his friends before his crucifixion. Sign up in the Gathering Area to contribute lentil soup, hummus, olives, or other items. Thanks for all your offerings!
Night watch Vigil Sign-Up: From 9pm – midnight on Thursday, April 13, following our Maundy Thursday service, and from 6am – noon on Good Friday, April 14, members of St. Dunstan’s will keep a vigil of prayer in the church, in pairs. Sign up in the Gathering Area for your desired shift. Talk with Connie Ott with any questions.
Evening Eucharist, Sunday, April 2, 6pm: Join us for a simple service before the week begins. All are welcome.
Looking for Coffee Hosts for Easter and for April 30, 2017! Please consider being a coffee host. We especially need people for Easter and the last Sunday in April. Contact Janet Bybee for more information.
Looking for Greeters: Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, It’s off to work we go! Well it’s really not work, more like fun. We’re looking for some of you who might be interested in Greeting on Sunday mornings at the 10am service. Let Bernice Mason know.
THE WEEKS AHEAD…
Stations of the Cross & Supper, Thursday, April 6, 5:30pm: All are invited to come walk the Stations of the Cross in our nave at St. Dunstan’s, sharing Scripture, prayer, song, and meditations from Christian tradition. We will share a simple meal after praying the Stations. This event is this week’s Sandbox worship, our regular Thursday evening gathering.
The Stations of the Cross in Downtown Madison, Friday, April 7, 12pm: Walk the story of Jesus’ journey to the cross on the streets of a modern city. As we walk the fourteen traditional Stations of the Cross, we will reflect together on how we can trace those events in the geography of Madison today – our issues, stories and struggles. We will start on the sidewalk near Way of the Cross Park, at the corner of Henry , across from the Overture Center, and end in the garden at Grace Church on the square. The total walk will be about 1.5 miles, and it takes about 1 hour. All are welcome. If you would like to read one of the stations, email the Rev. Miranda Hassett at .
Palm Saturday, Saturday, April 8, 11am-12pm: Kids, parents, grandparents and friends are invited to make Easter Crafts and communion bread, and to take part in a gentle, age-appropriate and participatory telling of the whole Easter story, presented by the youth and adults of our church. This event is best suited for kids ages 3 to 10; our Middle Schoolers are invited to help present the Easter pageant. All are welcome!
Palm and Passion Sunday, April 9, 8 and 10am: We begin our liturgy with a Palm Procession, recalling Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, then proceed to the reading of the Passion Gospel according to Mark. This is a solemn and powerful service, and our doorway into Holy Week.
Sunday School, Sunday, April 9, 10am: This Sunday, our 3 year olds to kindergarten class will learn about the Faces of Easter, while our Elementary classes will explore Palm and Passion Sunday.
Gospel of John Study Group, Wednesday nights, March 8 – April 26, omitting Holy Week, 6:30-8:30pm at the McAlpine’s: This year the Daily Office Lectionary has us reading the Gospel of John from the last week of Epiphany through the second week of Easter. If you’d like to read it and reflect on it with others, there is still room in the study group hosted by the McAlpines in Fitchburg. Please call the office at 608-238-2781 for more information.
Madison-Area Julian Gathering, April 12, 1:00-2:45 PM (NOTE TIME CHANGE): Julian of Norwich was a 15th Century English mystic and anchoress. [In the Middle Ages, certain women and men chose to live a life intensely devoted to prayer permanently enclosed in a small room, called an anchorhold, attached to a parish church.] Little is known about Julian’s life, but she wrote a book, as far as we know the first in English written by a woman, about a series of revelations which opened her to the depths of God’s unconditional love for us in Jesus Christ. Thomas Merton called her “the greatest theologian for our time.” At a Julian Gathering we support each other in the practice of contemplative prayer and contemplative spirituality. Each meeting includes time for contemplative prayer, fellowship, and reading/discussion of Julian’s book.

Men’s Book Club, Saturday, April 22, 10am: The book is All the King’s Men by Robert Penn Warren. Warren wrote the book in 1946 to enormous critical acclaim and won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1947. It’s about Huey Pierce Long, Jr., self-nicknamed The Kingfish, who was an American politician who served as the 40th governor of Louisiana from 1928 to 1932 and as a member of the United States Senate from 1932 until his death from assassination in 1935. There is something about Huey, his combination of magnificent abilities and a genuine if primitive idealism with bottomless corruption and lust for power, which fascinates the literary was well as the political mind.
Outreach meeting, Saturday, April 29, 8-10am: All are welcome to join our conversations about how St. Dunstan’s can best serve the world with our resources and our hands. We begin with an optional potluck breakfast at 8am.

NEW YORK (AP) — Author-columnist Jimmy Breslin, the legendary street-smart chronicler of wise guys and underdogs, has died. He was 87.
Breslin’s stepdaughter, Emily Eldridge, said he died Sunday of complications from pneumonia.
The Pulitzer Prize-winning author and longtime New York Daily News columnist was one of the sharpest observers of New York City life.
A hardnosed newsman, Breslin also campaigned for office in the 1960s and exposed the city’s worst corruption scandal in decades in the 1980s. He once boasted that he was the best person ever to have a column in the news business.
Breslin’s well-known work, “The Gang that Couldn’t Shoot Straight,” told the story of the Boston mob, and he wrote of his own life in his memoir “I Want to Thank My Brain for Remembering Me.”

LANdialler allows any computer (Windows, Linux, etc.) on a small LAN to control and share a modem attached to a *nix server. It is typically used with IP masquerading or NAT on a Linux router to provide a house or small office with shared, on-demand, Internet access.
|Operating Systems||Windows POSIX|
Release Notes: This is primarily a bugfix release. Upgrading is recommended. If the external connection script/command fails to bring up the connection (e.g. your modem isn't plugged into the phone line), version 0.2 would wait for the connection to come up before allowing an attempt to reconnect. This version fixes that bug so that when the client's Cancel button is clicked under these circumstances, the connection attempt is canceled by the server. The code is also much cleaner.
Release Notes: GTK+ is now supported, and is the default GUI toolkit on Unix systems. There are also a couple of minor bugfixes, and better error handling in the client.
Release Notes: The server now monitors the number of users connected to the Internet itself and automatically drops the dial up connection once all the client programs have stopped talking to the server (consequently reducing the phone bill). The client, server, and supporting library must be updated together.
Release Notes: User interface has been completely overhauled to provide multi-user aware control of the dial up connection. The client code has been re-organised, ready for supporting a GTK+ port of the user interface (currently only Tk is available, on Linux and Windows).

A MAN has been ordered to pay thousands of pounds to clean up his mess after being caught flytipping.
Kevin Goodenough admitted three counts of dumping waste in the front and rear gardens of a council-owned property in Bellfield in Titchfield.
Among the waste the 58-year-old dumped was cement roofing sheets containing asbestos, bitumen roofing felt and other building materials.
Goodenough, of Hawkhurst Close in Southampton, was sentenced to 225 hours of unpaid work by the bench at Fareham Magistrates Court.
He will also have to pay Fareham Borough Council’s £1,000 legal costs and a further £5,000 to the council to clean up the rubbish, under the Environmental Protection Act.
Deputy leader of the council, Cllr Trevor Cartwright said: ‘This is a great result for the council and sends out a strong message that fly-tipping won’t be tolerated in Fareham.
‘Fareham Borough Council takes a zero tolerance approach in respect of fly tipping. Through the investigation process, and where evidence is found which links to the offender or household to the fly tipping, action will be taken.’
The council aims to remove incidents of flytipping on public land within five working days of it being reported.

PurEyes: The best dog tear stain remover
Say goodbye to unsightly pet tear stains and eye crusty's!
This product has everything you need to keep your pet's eyes stain-free.
Many pets, notably White Bischons, Himalayan cats, and English Bulldogs, suffer from perpetual tear stains. PurEyes removes tear stains by utilizing a combination of ingredients that attack the root of the bacteria infection where the staining begins.
What is PurEyes?
PurEyes was inspired by our beloved bulldog Gordo who Dave adopted and had a lot of issues to work through. Gordo was a 3 yr old deaf bulldog who ended up developing lymphoma but before then , he had major issues with his eyes. We had a very difficult time keeping his tear ducts in check and many of the tear stain removers on the market either didn't work or had too many dangerous chemicals that we didn't see as beneficial for his health. The idea was to create an all natural tear stain remover that wouldn't not affect him if a small amount got into his eyes or the inevitable fact that the ingredients will be absorbed by his skin at some level. PurEyes has been very successful in eliminating unsightly tear and saliva stains with out stinging your dog. It has also been shown to keep tear stains away for quite a long time so you won't be re-applying every other day.
What Ingredients are in PurEyes?
PurEyes is the all-natural alternative to the dog tear stain removers currently on the market. This product is not meant for direct eye contact but if a little does get into the eye , it will not be harmful. That said, we highly recommend that you avoid eye contact and only use on the surrounding areas.
The only ingredients in this product are : Purified water, Aloe Vera, Sodium Bicarbonate, corn starch, Chamomile oil, xanthum gum, witch hazel and a blend of botanical oils. As you can see , all are natural and do not harm the eye but witch hazel and different oils may sting or irritate the eye ball so it's best to just wipe the surrounding areas.
Promotional Option for a Free Bottle
Promotion! For a FREE bottle of PurEyes, please do the following: Post a testimonial on our Facebook or Instagram page with a good, in-focus picture of your pet and the PurEyes product beside them. We would love to feature your pet and his/her experiences. Please be sure to take a picture before PurEyes use and after about 10 days of use so we can see the progress your dog has made.
What is PurEyes Tear Stain Remover for Dogs?
PurEyes 100% Natural dog Tear Stain Remover is the most effective product on the market today for clearing ugly tear stains on your cat or dog. Our solution removes tear stains effectively, safely, and gently. From our research this is the only tear stain remover that does not include harsh chemicals , you won't hear horror stories from people using this product. As we see, when using a product around your dog's eyes, it's best practice to keep them safe with all natural products where the possibility of accidentally getting some in their eyes is very possible. We don't want to put you in that position. Our product may sting the eyes if some gets in there but it will not damage the eye like other products.
PurEyes is a pet care eye treatment solution that is non-irritating and proven to prevent eye leakage and discharge. It works quickly through an easy-to-use method your dog will appreciate. PurEyes can also be used to treat pet chin acne, pet urine stains, and pet saliva stains. We've designed this formula to be easy on the skin with anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties. These factors along with allergens are usually the root cause behind the tear stains that appear on your dog's face.
100% Assembled in the USA with all natural ingredients. We make this product in our warehouse but our packaging comes from other countries so by law we can only say "assembled" but for the most part, all of our products are actually made in the USA. Best results on dogs and cats that are prone to tear but any pet can use this product for tear staining. Much more efficient that tear stain remover wipes as it will last longer and not dry out over time as wipes do. As well, you never really know how much of the medication you are using on a wipe. A dog with tear stains has very sensitive skin and that is why leaving the fur stained is the result, we do not feel anything with harsh chemicals is a good choice for this situation as well because those chemicals will be absorbed into the skin. This can lead to other problems and again, we can not stress how much we believe in natural remedies for dogs over anything chemical.
Tear stain removers on the market can be very confusing as they come in liquids, chews and powder form and to be honest, we don't feel that is necessary to just wipe away eye crusty's and tear stains on your pets fur. There is no reason to keep spending money on a product that runs out in 30 days when you can have an all natural liquid that will last 2-3 months. There's a good chance that your dog might be eating enough treats and powders that it can be just overload. We prefer that dietary supplements come in the edible form while products like this can be used when needed and will not spoil.
The Best Quality Guaranteed
Proprietary Blend of Botanical Oils
The Innovet Difference
No alcohol or sulfates
Wipe on/wipe off solution that removes tear stains
100% natural ingredients
Works for both cats & dogs
Apply liberally to the stained area with a cotton pad or soft tissue paper. For maintenance, apply weekly to prevent a recurrence.
Dispense a small amount of PurEyes gel onto a clean cotton round or soft paper wipe. Hold your Pets head with one hand and gently wipe your pets face clean. If your dog's eyes already have tear stains, be sure to focus on those areas but do not use too much pressure, the formula will break it up over time. Use daily for 2 weeks then as needed for hygiene maintenance. For best results use with Innovet Shampoo, PurOtic Ear Cleaner once per week.
The effectiveness of tear stain removal may vary depending on how long your pet has been experiencing tear stains and how severe they are, but you should see a difference within a month. The main effects include pore shrinking and a lessened onset of tears. Maintaining a dry tear duct area is the key to preventing bacteria growth.
No refrigeration required.
Keep container closed when not in use. Store PurEyes only in this bottle and as close to room temperature as possible and away from bright light.
Frequently Asked Questions
PurEyes addresses the root of the problem of tear stains. It contains a cleaner that resolves any bacterial infection and an astringent that dries the area of excess moisture. We've also added a herbal flower extract that acts as a natural antibiotic. PurEyes is a topical dog tear stain remover. Other products are often masked as palatable supplements, taking months to work and requiring your pet to ingest antibiotics (e.g., Tylan, Tylosin as tartrate).

PurEyes will only lighten the areas previously damaged by bleach or peroxide, but all regrowth will be clean. Also, bleach and peroxide can burn and be quite painful for pets with sensitive skin as well as burn or ruin eyesight if any small amount accidentally gets into the dog's eyes.</p>

Staining can be caused by a variety of underlying health issues; here are some of the most common causes:
Clogged or shallow tear ducts: Studies indicate that 20-25% of small dogs and cats are born with closed or shallow tear ducts. Tears overflow because their eyelid space is not deep enough to contain them.
Bacterial & Yeast Infections: When your pet's facial hair is wet from excessive tearing it becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and yeast infections. The latter involves red yeast, which causes deep reddish-brown stains, especially on white fur or light colored dogs and cats.
Cutting Teeth: Cutting teeth may cause changes in the head & mouth structure of your pet, placing pressure on the tear ducts.
Irritation & Allergies: Some animals get hair or eyelashes into their eyes, causing irritation. Shampoos and other chemicals can also irritate their eyes. Many breeds are susceptible to a number of different kinds of allergies which can stem from their food, medicine, or environment. Poor quality pet health can lead to a myriad of problems.
Hard Water: Water with high mineral levels in tears can stain the hair around the eyes
Food & Treats: Diet can play a significant role in tearing. Many commercial foods contain additives, preservatives, and food coloring. This can lead to staining as many affect a dog's skin. Be sure to keep your pet on a high quality diet to limit these possibilities.

During the process of building or renovating, it’s entirely reasonable to be worried about the design, the size of the home, and the planning of the square footage inside it. What is also necessary is to look at the overall aesthetics of the building. It is more relevant for apartments as one often cannot differentiate one exterior from the other. Architects understand the role that the façade plays in creating a design that impresses from the first glance. In the apartment in Virar, Mumbai that we will look at today, Hardik Patil Architects have paid close attention to the aesthetics to make it striking.
Architecture gives immense importance to both form and function. It is important to have functionality at the core, but it is equally critical to emphasise form. After all, first impressions are significant. Colour is an essential aspect of designing the exterior facade. Here, the designers have picked a rustic wood effect to complement the earthy shades that have been used. By utilising it to highlight certain angles, the beauty of the modern house is enhanced. Another smart idea is the use of landscaping. Adding plants along the entire extension of the front facade elevates the look further.
Exterior design can be a challenge, especially if the property is situated in a busy locality. It is essential to keep with the overall aesthetics of the surroundings. However, it is also necessary to design the property so that it stands out from the rest. This apartment is balanced in terms of shape and size, which automatically contributes to its curb appeal. The use of large trees to border the property enhances the air quality while adding to the beauty of the apartment exterior.
Window design is vital for commercial spaces, but openness can interfere with the privacy of residential units. Here, the architects have managed the issue well by placing the commercial part of the property in front. The planters and the greenery above the retail section on the ground level creates a separation from the residential apartments above.
Patterns are a critical aspect of design. By using the right profiles and combining them with other elements, the architects have created highlights in the facade. Wood panels have been used effectively to contrast the stark walls in the background. The subtle and understated tones help to achieve a sophisticated and elegant look. By planning an even number of stores and windows in the front, the façade looks symmetrical and balanced.
When architects plan the façade of an apartment, they always seek to balance the composition. In this case, the units that face outward have spacious balconies that create a similar design for each apartment, contributing to consistency in the overall look. A trellis at the top of the roof adds a distinctive feature, besides filtering the sunlight on the open terrace in front of the building.

Our campuses have become as silent as graveyards during the Covid period. What changes will happen to the sights and noises that mark our students’ lives on campuses during the post-Covid era?
The change in educational institutions from a window of knowledge to a window to the labor market is all the rage now. The National Education Policy underscores the need for such a transformation. The pandemic should be seen only as a catalyst for the changes largely underway. Many things labeled as oddball reforms before Covid may have become a necessity now. For example, the use of mobile phones during class hours would have annoyed teachers in the pre-Covid period. And the open book examination system will become part of the quotidian practices. The irresistible influx of digital technology into education will take place; in a sense, education will become a digital colony in the post-Covid period. Therefore, locating knowledge with digital tools can become as important as the intellectual ability to learn and analyze content and approach learning critically. While there will be a spate of micro-level changes, we need to anticipate the ones likely to affect the system at large.
All present: Almost all universities in India have condonation fees for lack of attendance. Students in higher education often lack attendance for various reasons—political, economic, and personal ones, including early marriage, physical difficulties, and so on. But it is not surprising that in the post-Covid era, the concept of online attendance as an alternative will be even interpreted as a right of the student. As a better customer care practice, the odds are high that all teachers regularly have to log in to online classroom applications during their regular classrooms. There is a possibility that even the judiciary may come to the point where prohibiting a student to write exams due to lack of physical attendance can be interpreted as a violation of the right to education. Thus technology has percolated into education so much that it completely marginalizes the physical and social dimensions of education.
After the advent of the choice-based credit and semester system, we are witnessing ritualization of assessments in higher education institutions. Too many exams with significantly less potential to contribute anything seriously to improve the teaching-learning process. Everyone gets high marks (often above 70%) too. Marks are often not correlated to attendance in the current scenario.
It is a strong labor market that stealthily offers new interpretations for the great idea of self-reliance in education as the student’s responsibility to work while enrolled in a study program. Making such a section of the youth (especially those who are financially backward) available for work while enrolled in a study program ensures continuous labor supply in the market. Students will be forced to incline towards the demands of employers rather than the needs of educational institutions. This will become the perfect example of the tragedy of the commons in the future. All students may think that ‘though I go to college regularly, no one else does; then why should I?’. This will reduce education to an activity that requires only the secondary consideration of students.
It is very difficult to meet this challenge unless we make education an enjoyable social process. The social engagement and enjoyment derived from it need to become the most critical indicator of education quality. So we should pay special attention to strengthening a philosophy based on the idea of growing society rather than a reduction to the individual to sow the seeds of a robust educational culture in the post-Covid era.
Teaching executives: If the choice-based credit and semester is implemented in its true sense, each year, the syllabus of courses will change. Teachers will have absolute freedom to design and teach new courses. They can attract students from other departments in the same college or university by offering soft courses. With the help of MOOC courses, teachers can attract students from all over the country. Therefore the teacher with the most students enrolled in their courses will be the most valuable teacher. To a large extent, teacher skills and depth of knowledge will not be the criteria; their market potential will become a significant factor.
Simultaneously, another critical factor in attracting students will be the institution’s goodwill and credibility where these teachers teach. Institutions rely on accrediting agencies to earn such a name. The new NEP opens up the process of accreditation to a two-tier competition. While the institutions may compete for better rank through accreditation, the accrediting institutions will also compete to survive. In this way, institutions’ reputations in a perfectly competitive accreditation market will become an essential tool for attracting students to courses. As course enrolment through MOOC is a global competition, our traditional colleges will have a tough time ahead.
The response to all of this from college management would be to follow a business model rooted in competition. This means that strategies for enrolling more students in courses offered by their teachers will become part of the very existence of colleges. In the Victorian era, teachers’ salaries were fixed in proportion to students’ numbers in their classes. Therefore, the teachers devised all sorts of strategies to attract the maximum number of students to their class. The sufferers were the erudite teachers who got fewer students.
Teachers’ intellectual pursuits will have to be aligned with the trends in the labor market. In a short period, these changes will transform teachers into a class that delivers a kind of human capital as dictated by the labor market from time to time. The courses change from year to year, and teachers will be responsible for their success and failure. Courses demanded by the market are more likely to accumulate than ones based on teachers’ insights and interests. There will be a new genre of teachers, the ‘teaching executives’. Marketing their courses will become the priority.
Teachers need to respond to such changes by participating in a collective effort to shape progressive forms of society and economy through socially committed perspectives. To break the shackles of alienation surrounding the teachers, a culture of critical learning must become part of teacher education. Education shall shape the labor market, not vice versa.

I hope this question is appropriate for this board...
Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone could suggest a nice restaurant in NYC that is moderately priced and suitable for a 3rd wedding anniversary dinner. My husband and I are both graduate students in Yonkers who are relatively new to the area, rarely get out, and have a toddler who will only give us about 4 hours alone. I've read dozens of reviews about various restaurants on various sites, but having been a waitress myself through college, I'm always a little leary of reading those.
Can anyone suggest someplace nice, a bit romantic, and not too expensive? (maybe around $100 for a dinner for two and not italian)

The HTC Click is technically a rumor, but its appearance in a video posted by Vietnamese website Tinh Te should provide reassurance that this budgetized Android device will see the light of day. In the video we can clearly see a MicroSD slot, 3.5mm headset jack, 1100mAh battery, camera without flash and Donut build 1.50.999.0:
Since I know this will come up in the comments anyways – yes, the Click user in the video has 6 fingers on his right hand. Not like the guy asked to have 6 fingers, so lets be adults and hold off on the jokes, k? Afterall, the guy hooked us up with the first video of an upcoming Android, and there are few things we love more.
A few quality pictures also popped up along with the video:
I’m not sure about you, but I’m AMAZINGLY excited about the upcoming and inevitable wave of low to mid-end Android handsets. They’ll have a larger collective impact on the mobile market as Android will be able to transform the average cell phone customer into a smartphone user upon purchase. These people WANT Android they just don’t know it exists and have no clue what it is or what it does.
Once affordable Android phones like the HTC Click land on carriers around the globe, the masses will be armed with smartphone power and the Android Market. Considering the general public has been sheltered from the true capabilities of mobile phones for so long, it will be exciting to see everyday folk come into the Android light.

I was meandering down the sidewalk when suddenly a tiny glittery whirlwind engulfed me...I thought I was dreaming. When I awoke, prickling warm and dazed, I found myself wrapped in a tangle of autumn leaves and white tulle.
This lovely vintage dress surely has stories to tell judging by the irregular trail of snags and rips in her balletic cloud of skirt. The bodice is ivory silk with a built-in foundation garment and boning along each side seam, and the straps are fragile soft pink elastic. I shall do minor mending on her to halt further deterioration and wear her only on special occasions, like today, just because. I only ventured as far as a local mini park with my tripod and tea, but my outing was very satisfying indeed.
- thrifted vintage gown with full tulle skirt and silk bodice, saved from Halloween abominations
- black tights
- black stretch pointed shoes
- Shar Pei sweater over black boat-neck top, necessary for warmth
- Spode teacup with tea
I'm sorry I didn't get a full standing shot; you'll only have to imagine a cloud of white tulle billowing across the horizon... Bwa-ha-ha!
I'm hooking up to Patti's Visible Monday at Not Dead Yet Style. She always starts the week off right. I shall see you there...? I must.

[en] By using the stable isotope N-15, we have measured in situ the uptake of nitrate and ammonium by the seagrass Posidonia oceanica, its leaf epiphyte community, the brown macroalgae Halopteris scoparia and the suspended particulate organic matter (SPOM). In Revellata Bay (Gulf of Calvi, Westem Corsica), which is a very nutrient-poor region, the specific uptake rates (V) (mug N g N 1 h(- 1)) of SPOM measured at ambient concentrations are 10-1000 higher than those of benthic primary producers. Macroalgae have intermediary v, between the seagrass leaf and leaf epiphytes. V are quite variable and the reasons for this variability remain unclear. Despite the difference of specific uptake rates found between benthic and pelagic primary producers, when integrating the uptake fluxes for a water Column of 10 m depth, the contribution of benthic primary producers to N uptake fluxes (g N m(-) (2) h(-) (1)) is significant, corresponding on average to 40% of total uptake flux. This results from the dominance in terms of N biomass of benthic primary producers in this shallow nutrient-poor area. When reported for the entire volume of the Revellata Bay, the contribution of benthic primary producers is reduced to 5 - 10% of total N uptake flux. Although this contribution could appear relatively low, it results in a significant direct transfer of inorganic nitrogen from the water column to the benthic compartment. By this transfer, the benthic plants act as a biological pump incorporating the pelagic N into the benthic compartment for a time longer than the characteristic time of phytoplankton dynamics (month-years vs. day-week).

What is a Multimodal Transportation Plan?
There have been multiple improvement success stories since the last plan update, as projects are implemented and the vision of the plan is brought to life. You may have noticed some of the following improvements:
- The Needham Connect Phase II Project was completed on Columbine Drive, improving sidewalks, installing ADA-compliant curb ramps and curb extensions to improve pedestrian and bicyclist safety near Needham Elementary.
- Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons were installed to increase pedestrian safety at the 25th St and E 2nd Ave intersection and at the Horse Gulch intersection at 3rd St and 8th Ave.
- Bike lanes were added on Junction St from Miller Middle School to the city limits at Junction Ln.
Why an update in 2021?
2016 Multimodal Transportation Plan
View the plan
The 2016 Multimodal Transportation Plan update was adopted by City Council on March 7, 2017 after a year of outreach, including a kickoff meeting and 12 additional public meetings. In addition to public meetings, a Virtual City Hall survey was used for a month to collect public comment. The survey garnered 207 visitors and 159 responses. The final document was updated based on feedback from City Council during the draft plan period and the City Council Study Session on December 13, 2016. The adopted 2016 Multimodal Transportation Plan Update was incorporated as an amendment to the 2012 Multi Modal Transportation Master Plan, which is an amendment to the City's 2007 Comprehensive Plan
The Plan prioritized over 450 projects, with a grand total project cost of over $160 million. The following infographic provides a snapshot of the 2016 plan update.

Delhi mourns for terror victim
Delhi'ites from all walks of life turned out in full force on Sunday evening to pay homage to those who lost their lives in the Mumbai terror attack, reports Tanya Ashreena.delhi Updated: Dec 01, 2008 00:42 IST
Delhi'ites from all walks of life turned out in full force on Sunday evening to pay homage to those who lost their lives in the Mumbai terror attack.
A peace march was organised by a voluntary organisation at Jantar Mantar on Sunday. Among those who participated were around 200 children from 25 countries, including Zambia, Thailand and Australia. They are in town to participate in the 9th International Children's Festival of Performing Arts.
Authorities of Ryan International School, which is organising the Festival of Performing Arts, had bought the children, who were dressed in their national costumes and carried banners and shouted slogans demanding peace. They also sang songs of love and harmony in their respective languages.
Chaitanya Chadha, a real estate agent and his friend Mohit Seghal, an employee of Scholastic India, managed to collect approximately a hundred of their friends for a candlelight vigil to condole the death of the Mumbai terror attack victims. "We sent out mass emails and SMSes to whoever we knew to raise their voices against the insecurity plaguing our lives," said Chadha.
Students of IP University held a street play, 'Phir Na Hone Denge, (Won't let it happen again)' to show how people can put an end to such tragedies.

Ramen Noodles have been reborn in the American culinary scene. Ramen has stepped out of its comfort zone of college dorms and bachelor pads and has found a new home in the hearts and minds of American Chefs. Noodle shops, bars and trucks are popping up more frequently and I for one am very pleased. Consider the packaged Instant Ramen. It's cheap, quick, simple to make and tasty- all things that meet the needs of our on-the-go culture.
I'm not going to disparage the simple instant ramen noodle package. Honestly, I think they are delicious. I personally buy a Korean Style that is extra spicy and enjoy them every now and then. But if it's good in its simplest and processed form, it can be great with a little respect to the ingredients and process. That is exactly what the Kitchen Crew at TLS executed this past Thursday. Fresh ramen noodles, fresh garnishes, and a broth that took four days to make! I do not exaggerate when I say the broth was excellent. We took turns in the kitchen sipping the broth (testing for quality, of course). I think I "tested" an entire coffee cup full of broth.
Here is the process for the broth:
Day 1: Simmer Oxtails, vegetable scraps and konbu (dried sea kelp) Drain and chill broth. Day 2: Simmer roasted pork bones, vegetable scraps and konbu. Drain and chill broth. Day 3: Simmer roasted chicken bones, vegetable scraps and konbu. Drain and chill broth. Day 4: Season broth with rice vinegar, soy sauce, and bonito (dried and cured fish). Serve hot.
On the day of the event, we boiled the fresh ramen noodles in the broth and shocked them in ice water. We served the noodles cold and served the hot broth in thermal pitchers on the tables. The students could pour the hot broth over the cold noodles and garnish with provided ingredients. Food should be delicious but great food is an experience.
*Note: Not only is it a socially encouraged practice, "slurping" ramen noodles helps the flavor. The air reacts with the alkaline noodles and broth and provide a flavor that would not exist without this typically frowned upon eating method.
The mission of The Lexington School is to provide an education of the highest quality to students in preschool through middle school. In a structured, nurturing environment, The Lexington School seeks to instill integrity, a life-long enthusiasm for learning, and a strong work ethic.

My mouth is positively rancid. It is stale with the decadence of excellent dark coffee (with sugar and without cream) brewed by a family of cheerful and industrious North Indians that run a Dunkin’ Donuts franchise store in a convenient and prosperous corner of a convenient and prosperous corner of Southern New Jersey called Voorhees.
I happen to speak the native language of these franchisees (amongst other ‘native languages’), whose physical characteristics range from swarthy to sallow, hairy to hairless, consisting of aquiline noses, defined, lined, weathered, features, and a menagerie of brown, hazel, grey, and green eyes, amongst which the brown dominates.
They refer to their customer as “buddy” in an accent that authenticates a rugged affability, a degree of assertiveness, an attitude of equality, and a very comfortable sort of foreignness that can make the intellectually blind and sensually cold ardent flagwaver at once rather uncomfortable.
However in Voorhees, the intellectually blind and the sensually cold are not found purchasing beverage or edibles at Dunkin’ Donuts, but rather in pockets of low income, archetypical neighborhoods, whose kind are rather rare in this township whose zip code is 08043.
Yea, they do drive around now and then in battered, tainted pickup trucks slapped with dollar store Americana on the bumper, in form of ‘pride’ stickers and ‘God Bless’ so and so’s; but not many take them and their shining bald heads and goat beards very seriously.
In these industrious immigrants there is a certain degree of aloofness. They are village-folks who traded their shovels and shack shops for a passport to the red, white, and blue.
They are resigned to the fact that they will ever be americans in a way most americans like to display themselves to fellow americans. Yet, in that resignation they discover a sense of humor: mixing in an insatiable curiosity with a non-condescending homespun amusement at the affectations and habits of weight conscious consumers.
There is something Irish, Italian, and Greek about them; though they understand little Italian, little Greek, and absolutely no Gaelic.
In my regular visits to this store, from their perspective however, I am an unabashed intrigue, and therefore an outsider.
Friendly as they already are, these people have a habit of eyeing me closely, examining my face, my garb, my speech, and most importantly my habits.
I intuited that they were guessing anywhere from 15%:85%, 25%:75%, 35%:65% if I could possibly have been conceived in the same part of the world as they were, and even then, of similar parentage. The lower percentage indicated a suspicion favoring affirmation, and the higher indicated a suspicion favoring negation.
So I broached them with a smile and a fluent snippet of a foreign tongue: Hindi Aata Haiy? (Do you speak Hindi?).
These folks seemed relieved, yet their curiosity seemed to increase by the umpteenth degree. They were just told that I too was an Indian of the Northern part, but they found that hard to believe provided my manners, customs, speech, affiliation, dress, and pace.
They could not taxonomize it to anything resembling American, and they had a very hard time finding anything Indian in it. They were confounded with my express affability, ruggedness, gestured subtleties, measured, distinct and therefore a strange accent, metrosexual/corporate whippersnapper preppiness, and an amalgam and menagerie of personal quirks.
They almost took what may amount to ‘pride’ in me by extension. My North Indian birth and linguistic fluency certified some kind of a perceived kameradschaft , yet my hybrid Europoid/American tendencies and International tastes defined and fulfilled some kind of a yearning that they must have felt: a streamlined combination of the Orient and the Occident, where the modernity and unfettered energies of the Occident held the masthead, and the Orient cajoled, caressed, and coaxed a certain perennial wisdom comprising of ruggedness, viscerality, cosmicism, and indifference.
And while in the lull hours of that same day in the afternoon hours, engaged in ontological discussions with my sixty eight year old German-Yankee brother in the food court of the Voorhees Echelon mall; as I pick my teeth with a toothpick supplied by a rather maternal, and appreciative Aztec Mexican Subway Sandwich store owner on whose uniform the following title was embroidered: “Sandwich Artist”; I discern a certain dynamism, flair, ardency, and accouterment, vis a vis, a humanity, in the word “Globalization”.
Ah, mira querido doña, es buen tiempo acqui! Y, todos Gracias Señora por el ‘toothpick’! Usted eres muy simpatico.
Possibly bad grammar, but perfect accent: familiar enough to be thought of as an hispanoablante.
“Sweetie, your breath stinks! Go brush your teeth.”

Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee spoke with J. D. Hayworth on NewsMaxTV about the volatile situation in Ferguson, Missouri, with the protests and destruction of property in response to the grand jury decision not to indict Officer Darren Wilson for the self-defense shooting of Michael Brown. The potential 2016 Republican presidential candidate said that Michael Brown is responsible for his own death because of his aggressive behavior. Huckabee said that Brown would be alive if he complied with Officer Wilson’s instructions. Huckabee told Hayworth:
“I’m going to tell you something, what gets you shot is when you grab a police officer’s gun and you lunge at him and try to hit him in the face.”
Governor Huckabee criticized the narrative that young people will get in trouble with law enforcement if they hold up their hands in surrender.
Advertisement – story continues below
“This is not only foolish and dangerous, but is really on the verge of anarchy. And I’m just disgusted that you have NFL players, politicians, and others who, no matter what the evidence reveals, no matter how many sworn testimonies show that Darren Wilson, you know, who, it’s a tragedy that the young man got shot, but this is a young man who had just roughed up a store owner, just robbed a store, and now he’s going after a cop’s gun. And it’s a horrible thing that he was killed, but he could have avoided that, if he had behaved like something other than a thug.”

Out of a fantastical cataclysmic collision that darkened the earth, comes the Legacy of the Divine. “Imagine a civilization long before our own which also called this planet home. Imagine that foreseeing their own demise, they wished to leave us a message. This is who we were, what we achieved, what we loved, feared and believed in. This is our legacy. Remember us.” ~ Quote from extra card in the Special Edition deck. Ciro Marchetti comes to us as a Professional Graphic Designer with relatively little Tarot experience in his background. His thoughts and design ideas bring forward a fresh perspective of standard images.

The HiPhi X is not yet a household name in China, but it’s a newcomer to the electric automobile scene. Its doors are bigger and crazier than those on the Tesla Model X. It obtains design components from the NIO ES8 and Porsche and loads them all into one. Regardless of its beginner status, we believe this electric automobile is a deserving addition to the Chinese automotive market.
The HiPhi X is a self-learning electric SUV, and the business’s HiPhi brand name is positioned as a premium electric automobile. The business’s very first EV, the HiPhi X, adopts the world’s very first HOA (high-performance open-source software), which permits developers to build a secure, developer-friendly software platform. Furthermore, the vehicle has more than 500 sensing units, including a 6’very brain’ domain controller. The HiPhi carries 5G-V2X technology network, a reversible roof, and classy side trim lighting.
Regardless of its new-age technology, the HiPhi X has actually received mixed evaluations in China. Its pricing is steep, but it’s expected to increase and become the premier energy-intelligent high-end automobile in China. As we’ll see, the HiPhi X is the next step in the evolution of the clever vehicle industry. If it can handle the Chinese market, it has a brilliant future for the business and its investors. We motivate you to read our HiPhi Y reviews to make an informed decision.
The HiPhi X is one of the most fascinating and ingenious lorries in the world. Its individuality lies in its technological features. Its first-generation self-learning system utilizes a neural network, a network of 6 “very brains” domain controllers. This is a cloud-based system, that makes it exceptionally smart. Unlike a lot of lorries, the HiPhi allows people to utilize the vehicle for communication.

The HiPhi X is a self-learning electric automobile with a neural network, a group of 6 “very brain” domain controllers. The network is linked by means of 1G Ethernet for a much faster transmission rate than CAN networks. The system evaluates huge amounts of details and utilizes cloud computing to make decisions. As a result, the vehicle is called “smart” in the sense that it can acknowledge its own behavior and act accordingly.
At launch, the HiPhi X will offer Level 3 autonomous driving, and redundancy in all security systems. It will be available in rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive versions. It will offer a 0-to-100 km/h time of 3.9 seconds and will come with numerous battery choices. It is expected to get in production in the latter half of this year and will be provided officially early 2022. Nevertheless, for those that wish to get one now Top New Motorcycles has them all set to ship in restricted quantities. For those that wish to standout and have a SUV nobody else has order your for instant delivery on TopNewMotorcycles.com at this time.

- Wiley 2011년
Summary. Worldwide, the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and the hepatitis C virus (HCV) cause, respectively, 600 000 and 350 000 deaths each year. Viral hepatitis is the leading cause of cirrhosis and liver cancer, which in turn ranks as the third cause of cancer death worldwide. Within the WHO European region, approximately 14 million people are chronically infected with HBV, and nine million people are chronically infected with HCV. Lack of reliable epidemiological data on HBV and HCV is one of the biggest hurdles to advancing policy. Risk groups such as migrants and injecting drug users (IDU) tend to be under‐represented in existing prevalence studies; thus, targeted surveillance is urgently needed to correctly estimate the burden of HBV and HCV. The most effective means of prevention against HBV is vaccination, and most European Union (EU) countries have universal vaccination programmes. For both HBV and HCV, screening of individuals who present a high risk of contracting the virus is critical given the asymptomatic, and thereby silent, nature of disease. Screening of migrants and IDUs has been shown to be effective and potentially cost‐effective. There have been significant advances in the treatment of HCV and HBV in recent years, but health care professionals remain poorly aware of treatment options. Greater professional training is needed on the management of hepatitis including the treatment of liver cancer to encourage adherence to guidelines and offer patients the best possible outcomes. Viral hepatitis knows no borders. EU Member States, guided by the EU, need to work in a concerted manner to implement lasting, effective policies and programmes and make tackling viral hepatitis a public health priority.

For Fun Or Profit
Growing catnip for fun, profit, or your cat's enjoyment is pretty easy. It's a fairly hardy plant, so, with a little pruning work and some watering, you should be blooming in no time.
Catnip (Nepeta cataria), whether dried, fresh cuttings, or the full plant, can provide hours of entertainment for you and your cat.
I've always found it very gratifying to give catnip as a treat, or refresh the sisal rope or cat toys and watch the kitties gather together and go crazy over the 'nip.
Cultivation And Growing Conditions
Catnip plants grow under various conditions, including indoors (with sun) and hydroponics. They prefer sun, but will grow in partial sun or even shade.
Plants will propagate from seeds, root cuttings, or stem cuttings.
Here's some good, practical information (with photos) on "how to grow killer catnip bud" by a true cat lover.
According to this experienced catnip grower, the key is in giving the plant lots of water, as well as proper pruning.
In addition, be sure to view the photos of the Himalayan kitty cat Stella Blue as well, and read Wally's account of her story. His writing says a lot about his relationship with her.
Here are some simple tips and advice from the Gardener's Network on growing catnip, including soil choice, harvesting, and drying.
Herbgardening.com has information on how to grow catnip as well.
Catnip is a perennial plant, and a member of the mint family. It also is referred to as cat mint (or catmint, or cat-mint).
As a crop it is considered to be fairly short-lived though, and most commercial growers will treat catnip as a 2 to 3 year crop.
The plant is not only sold for the benefit of cats and their owners, however, as it has been used for many years for medicinal purposes.
Catnip tea is available at health food stores and is said to have a calming effect and may soothe intestinal discomfort. It's also known as a remedy for colds and flu.
To get started growing catnip (either commercially or for "purrsonal" use), and for more information as well as purchasing seeds, try Richters.
If you're thinking about becoming a commercial grower, do your homework first. Being a crop growing farmer is not a task to be taken on lightly. You could grow indoors, in a greenhouse, or outdoors in certain areas with the right climate.
You could start your commercial growing enterprise small, and supply area stores and companies with your crop. Get high quality plants and seeds in order to distinguish your product line.
In any case, growing catnip commercially (or any crop) can be a difficult business. Expect and plan for setbacks, loss of crops, and lots of hard work!
Things To Do With Catnip
What to do with your catnip?
As a treat: Give it to your cat of course!
Cat toys: Dry it and make catnip toys or freshen up the toys you have.
Scratching post: Is your cat scratching or climbing the furniture? Rub it on a sisal scratching post or board to encourage your cats to use that instead of your nice leather furniture.
As ground cover: Catnip grows to about 3 to 4 feet or so. Catnip may take over an area as it spreads quite easily if left to its own devices. If you grow it outdoors, it's best to create a defined bed to contain it, or grow it in containers.
Bird attractor: Catnip may attract birds, butterflies, and bees. I'm sure your cat will appreciate the birds and the butterflies, but I'm not so sure about the bees!
The Catnip Response
If genetically predisposed, a cat will find catnip hard to resist.
If you're growing catnip outdoors, cats may dig it up, eat it, and roll in it, destroying the plants.
Some cats may ignore it, however, until the skin of the plant is broken or bruised, releasing the oil.
Others will begin to nibble on the plant anyway, and then go from there.
Nepetalactone is the chemical in catnip oil that makes cats respond the way they do. Nepetalactone is a cat attractant, so don't grow it unfettered outdoors and expect a feline-free yard.
Not all cats have the gene that makes them respond to the nepetalactone in catnip, but most do (about 75 to 80 percent or so, down to 50% depending upon which source you trust). Although the gene is not sex-dependent, males are said to respond more strongly to it.
Kittens under three months will not respond at all, so you can't tell if a kitten will do the dance as an adult.
I have read that feline bloodlines in Australia are less likely to have the "catnip gene," so a lower percentage of cats "down under" will respond to it.
I haven't confirmed this, and I know that breeders often import cats from other countries to mix up the bloodlines (although the quarantine makes this difficult). Also, purebred and feral or non-purebred domestic cat bloodlines are obviously very different.
I don't have any data on the prevalence of the gene or the effects of catnip across different cat breeds, but that might be an interesting research project.
The nepetalactone in catnip oil also affects insects, and repels mosquitoes, termites, and cockroaches. This opens up an opportunity for commercial catnip growers to create, among other things, catnip-based mosquito repellent.
Growing catnip for use as a non-toxic pest control sounds like a good idea for a green business. Organically grown 'nip is supposed to be high quality as well, so that would tie in with the green idea.
The Bird Cage Hypothesis
If you're concerned about your plants being destroyed, this is where a bird cage can come into play (ironic that a bird cage would be the solution to a problem with dealing with cats and plants
One of our readers was having a problem with her cat using the neighbor's yard as a toilet.
I suggested that she place a catnip plant inside a bird cage in the yard to encourage her outdoor cat to stay close by more often.
This is a trick I've seen written up in a few different places in order to protect the plant, but give your cat access to the leaves.
You could also grow it indoors inside the bird cage as well. Just make sure you secure the cage so that your cat doesn't push it around the house.
If you have a plant eater around the house (you know who you are), it can be difficult to keep flowers or plants indoors without having them all chewed up.
With the 'nip around, your other plants may get less attention. Growing catnip in a bird cage indoors may give your cat both a plant eating fix and a catnip high.
See Fern's blog for more advice on how to keep your cats from eating your plants and lots of other container gardening tips as well.

There’s been a lot of interest in Transcendence, the directorial debut of Christopher Nolan’s cinematographer Wally Pfister. However Pfister has learned a few things about secrecy from Nolan, so while there have been bits and pieces about what the movie is about, there’s not been much official.
However now an official synopsis has been released, giving us some more info on the movie, which stars Johnny Depp, Rebecca Hall, Morgan Freeman, Cillian Murphy, Kate Mara and Paul Bettany.
Here is is: ‘Dr. Will Caster (Johnny Depp) is the foremost researcher in the field of Artificial Intelligence, working to create a sentient machine that combines the collective intelligence of everything ever known with the full range of human emotions. His highly controversial experiments have made him famous, but they have also made him the prime target of anti-technology extremists who will do whatever it takes to stop him. However, in their attempt to destroy Will, they inadvertently become the catalyst for him to succeed—to be a participant in his own transcendence. For his wife Evelyn (Rebecca Hall) and best friend Max Waters (Paul Bettany), both fellow researchers, the question is not if they can…but if they should. Their worst fears are realized as Will’s thirst for knowledge evolves into a seemingly omnipresent quest for power, to what end is unknown. The only thing that is becoming terrifyingly clear is there may be no way to stop him.’
The film is due out next April.

Australian-Made Tindo Solar Panels to Take on Chinese Giants?
|In the same year that Australia saw its only home-grown solar PV manufacturer shutter its factory in Sydney due to increased competition from Chinese solar system component imports, another company popped up to claim the mantle of the 'only Australian-made solar panel'. Tindo Solar began assembly of its panels in January 2012 and claims that it can compete even in the current ultra-competitive market by providing premium panels at reasonable prices --- with a 'Made in Australia' sticker.|
2011, although a banner year for global solar PV installations, was a rough one for many solar power manufacturers. Multiple bankruptcies of American solar manufacturers (most notably Solyndra), and slimming profit margins among the survivors, led to accusations of unfair Chinese government support for its own solar panel makers and a trade row whose final repercussions are as of yet unclear, but which may result in US import tariffs on Chinese panels. The fact that the Chinese government has decided to up solar PV production targets in the face of predictions of a sort of Chinese solar industry apocalypse does not bode well for many of the non-Chinese industry players.
Tindo solar panels popped up in the media at the end of 2011, announcing that it would begin production of panels in January 2012. The news of Tindo's emergence arrived not long after the only other Australian solar panel manufacturer stopped making panels at its Sydney facility. That company --- Silex Solar --- closed up shop amid competitive pressure from Chinese imports and the outcry that the New South Wales conservative government had left it (and the state's solar industry in general) out to dry by replacing the state's feed-in tariff with nothing. Given all this history and the resulting solar environment, the news of Tindo entering the market has come as a surprise to many.
Products with a 'Made in Australia' label usually carry with them a premium price tag, and Tindo is no exception. The company seems keen to capitalise on the national trend to want to 'Buy Australian'. The name of the company and its products couldn't get much more home-grown: 'Tindo' is the Adelaide plains' Aboriginal group's native word for 'Sun', and the name of its first panel line --- 'Karra' --- means 'sky' or 'heaven'.
Just a few months before ceasing production of panels, Silex Solar announced that it would stop making its own silicon cells, instead opting to outsource its production to an unnamed 'strategic partner', widely believed to be a Chinese manufacturer. Silex abandoned this point of difference, with some saying that it had compromised its key selling point in the Australian market. For Silex, in the end, 'Made in Australia' came to mean 'Assembled in Australia'.
Interestingly, the same could be said about Tindo, which sources its components from overseas and puts them together at its highly automated factory in Adelaide, South Australia. However, unlike Silex, whose panels were not particularly technologically noteworthy, Tindo panels feature module-level Enecsys DC-AC micro-inverters, making central system inverters unnecessary. Other panel components have been selected for their quality and the reputation of their manufacturers --- silicon cells come from German manufacturer Q-Cells, Bridgestone makes the encapsulant, and DuPont makes the backsheets. The result is a panel that is a kind of 'all-star' team of solar panel components.
The company, wary of its reputation in a market that saw a number of major installation companies fall off the boat in 2010-2011, has made a point of hand-selecting its installers --- currently, about 60 across Australia. Tindo Managing Director Adrian Ferraretto, knows first-hand the importance of reputable and long-living installers. Prior to starting Tindo, he left the installation company that he founded, Solar Shop, with a 'golden parachute' of $50 million. Solar Shop later ended up being one of 2011′s casualties.
Ferraretto was interviewed by RenewEconomy in February 2012 about his intentions for Tindo Solar. The plan is to keep the business local, relatively small-scale, and focused, so as to be able to compete with Chinese imports as well as premium US, Japanese, and European brands. The Tindo factory has a production capacity of only 60 megawatts --- small compared to the gigawatt-scale capacities of some leading Chinese producers.
He is optimistic about the future of the company. Obviously, conscious of the irony, Ferraretto even states in the interview that he hopes to one day export Tindo panels to China. "Yes, and why not? If we were making panels like the Chinese, we couldn't compete. Instead of having eight people in my production line, I would need to have 100 people. We have to do it differently here. But having said that, my cost of labour is less than a Chinese factory."

Rooster Magazine's Rino Arts Fest threw down this year with over 20 artists and 10 musical acts. Here's the photo recap
Colorado is known for many things: mountains, Crocs, powder days, Subarus, cannabis and more cannabis. But one industry in Colorado that's been getting national recognition over the last decade, and rightfully so, is the local art scene. From the legends like Patrick McGregor to the household names like Dinkc, Casey Kauwaguchi and Chelsea, the Colorado art scene comes in a variety of shapes and sizes, colors and characters. The Rino Arts Fest celebrates this beautiful spectrum of artists with two days of unforgettable art, music and an endless party in the Rino District of Denver July 19-20. We can't wait to see everyone again next year as we go bigger and bolder.
Thanks to everyone who came out to support the event and a special thanks to everyone that made this event possible, especially our sponsors: Ceria Brewing, Mile High Pipe and Tobacco, and Double Black Concentrates.

As we approach another season of coaching, I thought it would be appropriate to have a discussion on coaching methodology. How we choose to teach has a huge impact on the player’s development. At the young ages, our main goal should be to instill a high level of enjoyment for the game, and to facilitate the competence with which they can play. Coaching methodology impacts this tremendously.
Towards that end, I have included here a discussion comparing a direct teaching approach to a guided teaching method with youth players, specifically players ages 9-14. I hope that it sparks interest and an evaluation of how we all coach and deal with players.
Direct Method of Teaching
This method of coaching attempts to teach by providing the players with much of the solutions to the soccer problems. In this respect, the coach takes the information from the game and interprets it for the players. This can be described as a “coach-centered” approach.
Guided Discovery Method of Teaching
This method of coaching attempts to teach by using the game as the forum for asking the players questions to draw out their own thoughts about what is happening in the game. The GAME provides the material and the coach helps to guide, but the player has some responsibility and freedom to find his own solutions. This is an experiential method that allows room for mistakes and the lessons that can be learned through trial and error. This can be described as a “player-centered” approach.
Each of these methods has its place in helping to develop young players. Neither of these methods, in their purest form can be used at the exclusion of the other. There fore, the most effective developmental model for young players includes a balanced approach that employs direction – for the purpose of clarity(demonstration), structure(rules) and discipline(behavior) – within an environment that also allows the player to experience the game(repetition) and encourages experimentation(discovery), trial and error(lessons).
Young Players Need Some Direction…
1. Players need something to emulate (TV, older players, highlights, MLS, etc.). If the player does not have this, the direct approach for some of the technical side and creative side must come into play.
2. At the younger ages, it is probably a combination of direct coaching for technique and repetition (in the absence of emulation) with a lot of guided discovery.
3. In talking to coaches who deal with ages 7 and up, the repetition and direct approach for many of the kids is needed.
4. The whole process can be aided by energy and passion from the coach and how that coach inspires the passion for the game in the young player. Also, fun competition within the group culture has shown to be a great motivating factor in all aspects of development.
To develop familiarity with the ball, repetition and direction is necessary to an extent. If we are more efficient and effective in collecting, passing, striking a ball at the young ages, we can allow more time in training to promote creativity and free expression.
There is great value in giving young players “pictures” to copy, whether this be from older local players, or from watching high level soccer on TV or as a live event. Unfortunately, in our culture, young players are not steeped in a soccer tradition that encourages players to watch and experience soccer -other than their own games and practices.
Our players are not spending enough time with the ball – on their own or during practice. So much of their soccer experience is spent being “organized” , (staying in their positions and not making mistakes), that our players don’t have a baseline of technique. This is evident every day at the club level, in college and with the youth national teams. We are technically deficient.
In talking to club coaches in the trenches, their feedback is that almost no kids bring or pick things up by just watching. But with some demonstration and repetition a few kids get it and this jumpstarts their creativity. But, at the young ages a more direct approach to teaching technique may be beneficial, (lots of repetitions of specific movements with the ball – passing, receiving, shooting, feints).
Mixing in some more directed technical coaching at the young ages gives more kids familiarity on the ball, which allows for more kids to become creative. Those kids that are going to do it on their own, will still do it and may figure it out more quickly.
Young Players Need Some Freedom…
Often times, the need to direct and often choreograph movements for our young players is a product of us,(as coaches), feeling that we somehow have a deadline to meet with these kids. And the quicker and more specific we can give them information, then the more efficient and effective we have become. Too often, as youth soccer in this country focuses on moving players vertically as fast as possible, many of our young players move to the next level with a lot of “match” experience, but without a solid skill base. We need to consider a more lateral approach to teaching that spends more time allowing players to develop the skills that they will need to continue to enjoy soccer before the move onto to the next set of soccer challenges.
A coach’s passion can have a very positive impact on players. Oftentimes, and especially at the youth level, enthusiasm for the game can go a long way.
There is a misconception that a player centered approach has no direction from the coach. That’s not accurate. This approach doesn’t advocate that the coach just sit in a lawn chair and read the paper, (even though there are some that would be doing the kids a service by doing so).
Any coach needs to take an active part in the learning process. But, oftentimes, this can be done through exercises and games that he organizes that allow the players to do the lion share of the problem-solving.
Demonstrating how to execute a certain technique is different from telling a player the mechanics of how to do something, and then giving them little or no freedom for their own interpretation. Repetition can be positive, coach driven. If you set up opportunities for players to have repeated opportunities to try stuff, that’s repetition – but they should also be given a certain amount of freedom to find their own way.
However, an overly regimented approach to how a coach creates repetition at the young ages is not beneficial. A great deal of coaches at the youth level spend too much time organizing and controlling the players, step for step, or play by play. The youth coach’s responsibility is to set up environments that allow for these repetitions in some sort of fun., competitive situation that also allows for a balance of some guidance from the coach and a lot of “doing” by the player. “Learning is the kindling of the flame, not the filling of the vessel. “
The extreme example of a directed style doesn’t allow for options beyond the coach’s own set of ideas. That’s what needs to be avoided. When working with 9-11 year olds, of course the coach should give them some ideas for ways to deal with the ball, pass, shoot etc as well as things to think about in 1’s 2’s, 3’s and 4’s etc. But the coach should not give them a set of options that they are not allowed to think outside of either.
Players Need Some of Both
So, where is the middle ground between the two outside edges of these approaches? Certainly, the information and guidance from a knowledgeable adult that is delivered at appropriate times during practice and matches, on and off the field, can play a vital role in a player’s development.
When providing information, guidance and direction to players, keep the following points in mind:
There should not be so much information that the player gets overloaded, or so little that the players lack a purpose to their decisions.
The direction should make sense to what’s happening on the field, and it should be based on the principles of soccer.
The player should be allowed some room to think for himself, based on what’s happening on the field.
A coach should offer his players and the team a purpose and direction for each practice session and match, for the week and for the season. Each practice should be well organized, with the coach giving the players a clear understanding of the general objectives for each exercise, and how it fits into the overall purpose of the day, week, etc. At the same time, within the practice or match, the coach should consciously allow for some amount of “player interpretation” that is based on the basic principles of soccer, as well as the general team goals that the coach has presented. It is very important that the coach’s information and direction makes sense based upon soccer and what’s happening in the game or practice.
When teaching technique to younger players, (U-10 and U-12), it can be beneficial to give these players some amount of directed repetition, especially in the beginning of the sessions. For example, a coach can set up a series of exercises where players are actively involved in passing the ball, receiving the ball, practicing different ways to wrong foot players and shooting on goal. The coach is directing through the different techniques that he is requiring the players to repeat. The coach can provide specific examples of how to execute these techniques through demonstrations and allowing the players repeated opportunities to practice. This can be done in structured, but active exercises (a lot of small groups and a lot of movement – no lines or lectures). At the same time, the coach should not expect the players to grasp each technique immediately. Even with repetition, the process is often slower than the coach would like it to be. Coaches should try to avoid the temptation to spend too much time with one player’s mechanics. There should be brief demonstrations and then the repetitions in the exercises, over time, should move the player forward. As the practice evolves to the middle or 2nd half of the session, the players should then be given freedom to practice these techniques in a free flowing game.
As the players move to the free flowing portions of the practice, the coach becomes more concerned with how the players are able to apply the different techniques that they have been practicing to the game.
Soccer is a fluid game and coaches should approach the game with a flexibility that reflects this quality. At the same time, managing players and communicating information to others, especially young boys and girls, also requires a willingness to adjust to personalities and varied situations. It is a great challenge, and one that we , as coaches, don’t always get right. But this is okay. There is not just one way to coach. Each approach and style makes sense in the right situation. It is the responsibility of the coach to find how to best blend these teaching methods together in order to give the players the most positive experience possible. Constant self-evaluation as well as periodic peer assessment are the most effective guarantees for helping a coach continue his own professional growth.

A Wicker Park couple is suing “Windy City Rehab” host Alison Victoria Gramenos over home renovations “perhaps out of a hope” that Gramenos would be “bullied” into paying a settlement to avoid legal fees and bad press, her attorneys said May 21 in a court filing asking for the claims against her to be tossed from the lawsuit.
Shane Jones and Samantha Mostaccio filed suit in April against Gramenos; contractors Donovan Eckhardt and Ermin Pajazetovic; companies run by Gramenos and Eckhardt; and the parent company of HGTV, which airs “Windy City Rehab,” for fraud over “defective and incomplete work” performed on their $1.3 million single-family home at 1700 W. Wabansia Ave.
The property was featured on a “Windy City Rehab” episode that first aired in January 2019. The Wicker Park couple says the home has a litany of issues, including various leaks, mold in the basement, and cracking concrete, load-bearing columns. Gramenos’ attorney, Daniel Lynch, said in a statement that she and the couple were working toward an “amicable resolution” before the lawsuit was filed.
“Now that plaintiffs and their counsel have commenced litigation, attorneys’ fees have needlessly been spent addressing misleading and baseless allegations, many of which should have never been brought at all, and none of which should have been brought against Gramenos or Alison Victoria Interiors,” Lynch said in the statement.
“Gramenos firmly believes that plaintiffs’ counsel included her (and her business and the television network) among the defendants in this case to increase its public exposure and therefore, its settlement value, rather than out of any real belief that Gramenos is personally responsible for the injuries plaintiffs claim to have suffered.”
The Wicker Park couple’s attorney — Nicole Daniel, of Dinsmore & Shohl — also represents a Lincoln Square couple separately suing the “Windy City Rehab” team over renovation of their $1.3 million home also featured on the first season of the show. A representative for Dinsmore & Shohl declined to comment.
Gramenos’ attorneys are seeking sanctions against Daniel, Jones and Mostaccio for among other things, naming Alison Victoria Interiors as a defendant in a complaint that “contains no specific allegations” against that company. Gramenos also wants her attorneys fees paid.
“It is unfair for any litigant to be bullied into settling unwarranted claims for fear of negative press attention,” Lynch said. “By filing the motions seeking a dismissal of the claims against her and for sanctions, Gramenos seeks to refocus the litigation back to a narrow dispute and put the expense of the improper tactics where it belongs: on plaintiffs and their counsel.”
Jones and Mostaccio say they agreed to purchased the home in March 2019 because Gramenos promised to help turn the garage into a workout studio for Mostaccio, a Pilates instructor and personal trainer. The homeowners estimate $4,000 per month in income was lost because the “Windy City Rehab” team “not only failed to complete the garage renovations but performed improper work,” according to their lawsuit.
Lynch said the homeowners are asking for damages they “could never recover.”
“Plaintiffs have failed to allege that a gym business operated inside the garage at their residence would have been allowed under applicable zoning ordinances. Clearly, plaintiffs could not recover lost profits from an illegal business in this litigation,” according to the motion to dismiss, which Gramenos’ attorneys plan to present to a judge on June 15. A hearing on the case was already scheduled for Aug. 11.
“Windy City Rehab” premiered in January 2019 with 11 Chicago home renovations. HGTV has not announced a premiere date for the second season, which was ordered in February 2019. Gramenos and Eckhardt ran into permit and legal trouble with the city. Eckhardt won’t be back as a contractor for Season 2, Lynch said.

Today’s theme that the news suggest me about Italy and Europe, but I can’t forget what is happening in the Gaza Strip, a historical drama that has been going on now for more than half a century, a killing that is not the solution and that the rest of the world has in fact ceased to deal with the necessary seriousness. I still remember the six-day war, one of the many episodes of the Middle East tragedy, fulminating that Israel defeat inflicted on Egypt, Jordan, Syria and the Palestinian movement then led by Arafat. There was a crisis within the Expressed and a bummer I can’t forget between the Group of Liberals who had political and cultural reference Ugo La Malfa, Arrigo Benedetti and Mario Pannunzio and me that then ran the express on the other. Liberals praised military force by Israel and Western civilization that the Jewish State was facing a hundred million Arabs. I wrote an article that caused the break with those old and faithful companions of ideas, entitled true friends of Israel. The thesis sustained by me was this: Israel had every right to exist, and to be defended, provided that in turn defended the Palestinians from harassment which they were subjected by various Arab tyrannies. The memory of the Holocaust was to inspire the Jewish State to prevent another genocide was perpetuated in their name and even from themselves. True friends of Israel should therefore urge him to take the opposite road. Only the Alliance between Jews and Palestinians and the establishment of a State that could represent them resolve this issue which had been poisoning the entire region of the Middle East. Times have changed greatly throughout the world since then, but the relationship between Jews and Palestinians remained the same: a purulent wound that doesn’t close and spread his poisons throughout the region. A disturbing element: among the great world powers that ought to be more interested in solving the problem and instead actually ignore it is Europe. Europe should be the main interlocutor of those two peoples and two States and connect them with a treaty that both involve them in the European Union. This is the only way forward to start ASAP and this should be true friends of Israel. We Italians and Europeans have however plagued by another issue that affects our economic survival and social: the negative performance of our income, our production, our occupation, of the separation between requests that we make to Europe and what Europe does to us. This theme is represented by one person: Matteo Renzi. Many friends-and also opponents-consider it with courage, intelligence and ability and quick summary; others on the contrary give the defects of excessive ambition and insufficient preparation. others finally recognize a currently irreplaceable leadership that can swing toward the good and evil according to people capable of exerting a positive influence on its decisions or negative; pose the problem of a party that should regain possession of itself and be able to affect only the leaders of which currently has. Let us not forget, in this landscape that serves to guide our judgments, that Renzi is and will be until the end of this year the EU President and the Secretary of the Democratic Party member of the European Socialist Party, the only one who had an unexpected mass of votes made it the winner of an election battle Solitaire in which little was voted and mediocre were the results of the other political groupings of democratic and pro-European feelings. Therefore: Matteo Renzi and his party, the relations with other European Governments, relations with the European Parliament in Strasbourg, with Juncker already elected President of the new Commission, with Germany which is the hegemon, with France, Spain and the other countries of southern Europe who have problems similar to ours. Finally the relationship with dragons and the ECB. It is not just stuff and Renzi has taken on that task with lena and enthusiasm, which is one of the traits of his character. For those who observe from the outside as a journalist and witness, the first problem is his party which, as such, has abruptly changed nature. After so many names, from the Bolognina di Occhetto onwards, the landing of Veltroni, the Democratic Party has undergone a significant change, unofficial but real: it’s called now renziano Democratic Party. There are but few protesters and divided between them. It lacks a management team whose leader is the expression but not the master. The lieutenants are numerous, young people, men and women, but none of them has a voice of its own, unless the Minister of economy, Pier Carlo Padoan, but that they knew and its role tends to shrink. Napolitano is right to state that there is no risk of authoritarianism; is good who is opposed to the quota system of the debate; does well who doesn’t want the filibuster. Is good who sees even put an end to Senate reform calendar: August 8, at the cost of not sleeping even on Sunday night. Are all fine but careful because with all these bans, sometimes called guillotine and other times leghold trap without having clear the difference between those two words inevitably reappears, authoritarianism. Again not because someone wants to but because they create the conditions. If you speak and decide only the head, where is democracy? Says Renzi: we talk about three years of these reforms. But those who spoke? And what reforms?The three Governments of presidential mountains, Letta, Renzi, some reforms have made and Parliament has approved. The times weren’t particularly long. the alleged Ballet between the room and the Senate that would be the wrong number one Italian democracy has not slowed the laws, we have already provided the figures. But now let’s have another extremely significant digit: 800 laws, approved by both Chambers during the three Governments mentioned above, have not yet entered into force. Think again: 800 laws passed by both houses are not implemented. Why? Why Miss the implementation regulations that should be studied and adopted by the Ministerial bureaucracy. 19th century laws. And then we talk about ballet between the two rooms, maybe, but not Ballet that involves Ministerial bureaucracy, largely in the hands of the State Council. He wants to abolish the Senate to streamline the legislature and allow it to become unicameral. But isn’t this the reason. If the bureaucracy is the one who is, will not decrease the unicameral state legislatures time even for a day. I still remember my last interview with Aldo Moro, fifteen days before his abduction. I explained why the Alliance between the Dc and the Pci of Berlinguer was inevitable: we must modernize and rebuild the State. Is still that of the historical right, then edited by fascism. It will take at least one full term, maybe not enough. When we have fulfilled this task, the two big parties will resume their seats and will take turns democratically. But not before and not just a few months to get a historical result of this nature. Maybe Renzi has never read that document. Perhaps, with major agreements and three months to Madia thinks of it. But in the meantime why not try to implement those laws 800 paralysed? Regarding traps and Guillotines: the President of the Senate has the power to abolish certain amendments clearly repetitive, but the procedure is extremely burdensome regulations. It would be worth to change and give fat (and Bam) the power to overrule amendments deliberately repetitive? Probably the 8,000 predicted it would reduce to a few hundred, and would work with the time it takes. But it really isn’t that Renzi wants to abolish the Senate. He wants to strengthen the Executive and minimize the legislature. It is true that there is a confirmatory referendum found but is, in fact, a stunt: the voters of the parties of the large cartels will vote en masse for the abolition of the Senate; won’t matter nothing of that reform. Try to put to a referendum a law to abolish the prolongation of working age or to increase the 80 euros to 100 and see the result. Renzi wants unicameralism, which will act as President of the Council and leader of the party. Berlusconi will do the same. So we will go forward until 2018. If riformassero status, but I’m afraid it’s the last of their thoughts. In Europe, however, things don’t go very well and Italy is watched with justified suspicion. Insistence on flexibility, but meanwhile the Gdp drops, the production drops, consumption drops, the birth rate falls. Should lower taxes, but what and how? They need money to invest and you want lower taxes? If anything should be taxed a lot more rich and lighten the poor. Pensions have touched, even pensions that exceed a certain ceiling. But they are trifles, there is tax evasion by NIP. There is much and much to do. Abolish the Senate does nothing and Europe does not concern at all. Draghi said what are the laws of reform to be implemented: competitiveness, productivity, increased employment, social equity basis. The repeats almost every day. Renzi did not regret, but he likes it. When will those reforms which, so to speak, the Spain continued and indeed is going better than us. The Spain has begun to grow, we no. Hopefully in the Cupboard. And in the Woods. And Pinotti. And in Mogherini. If the Piper sounds good, they will do a good choir, but if the Pied Piper, jarring the concertone will become a brawl. The danger is this. . You can visit this http://es.carbnitereviews.biz to read more about this interesting subject.
Relaxed, Vincenzo Nibali analyzed Saturday after the time – watch of Périgueux his Tour de France route almost tailor-made for me, according to the formula of the champion of Italy on the eve of winning for the first time. Q: what comparison is possible between your victory and that of Marco Pantani in 1998?A: it is difficult to make a comparison between Pantani and me. If I am not mistaken, he won his round in the last week. For me, it’s just the opposite. I took the yellow Jersey after two days. Q: what is very different from your success at the Vuelta and the Giro a: is the Vuelta (2010) which gave me the insurance fight on the Giro and the Tour. The Giro (2013) has been very important to the Italian audience, but the Tour is even more. Everyone viewing the Tour, it is stronger yet, it is more beautiful. And then, without devalue the Giro, the level is still high. Q: do you consciousness enter the story after so many champions?A: it is important to me but it is not only the tower. These champions have won other races. When I arrived for the first time on the Tour, my biggest emotion was to think of the Champs Elysées, the Arc de Triomphe, Eiffel Tower, french, Parisian public,. Q: what remains of the child who was cycling with her father?A: I still am when I have the opportunity, I’m going to see my parents. I’ll ride, walk, with my father, with other people. They remember me when I was little. Q: Italian cycling lives difficult times,. A: it is true. Unfortunately, I don’t feel that this is a problem of young riders of talents. It is rather related to the economic crisis, to the sponsors. I have lived it in my former teams. To take one example, my parents had two small shops that they had to consolidate into one. Q: you are going to win all three Grand tours. What is there to conquer?A: there are still races that I dream to win. The Tour of Lombardy, where I’ve never had much luck so far, the Championship of the world, Liège-Bastogne-Liège. These are races in which I tried to give my best but I am more at ease in the stage races. Q: after all the doping Affairs, the public wants to be convinced that you’re clean. What have you to say?A: I have a pleasure to tell my story, my roots, all the sacrifices I’ve made to get there. I am very proud. Q: Stefano Zanatta (his sporting Director at the time) said that in your first round, in 2008, you were sad, you doubt,. A: I was rather disappointed, I wanted at least the White Jersey. There has been much progress since then, controls, the biological passport. We see the results. If it had not been all these controls, I in perhaps will not be there today. Q: How do carateriseriez – you this Tour?A: spectacular, beautiful, very different from the previous ones I ran. He was almost tailor-made for me with already difficult climbs in the first week. Q: would you like year next be exposed to Froome, Contador, Quintana?A: of course. And even Wiggins, even if I have seen that he would rather concentrate on the track, but why not,. Q: what do you wear on your first part of season?A: it was difficult. The birth of my daughter has been a delight, it slowed my preparation, I arrived a little later at the venue but I continued to invest myself in the objective. For the rest of the season, I did not set my program. I will make in the next few days. Q: do you have a message to deliver at the end of this Tour?A: I have no specific message, the tower was tiring and it is still difficult to explain how I feel. I’ll probably find the words in some time and I will say to me: ‘ I really did everything I,. ‘ I understand perhaps better on the Champs Elysees. Collected press conference. Root data may be studied reading the following http://es.carbnitereviews.biz.
The American audio equipment manufacturer Bose filed a complaint against rival Beats, recently acquired by Apple, which he accused of infringement of patents of its noise reduction technology, according to a judicial document consulted Friday. Bose, which manufactures luxury audio helmets, accuses Beats Electronics of breaking 50 years of looking for a technology that offers a very good sound quality and a sharp reduction of ambient noise. The company says that its founder, Amar Bose engineer, had launched the basics of this technology in 1978 in a plane that brought back to Boston from Zurich. Bose accuses Beats of five violations of patents, according to the complaint filed in a court in Delaware (East). The company, which says that its sales have been affected by unfair competition from Beats, asked justice equivalent to the wrongs caused damages. It gives however no estimate on the lost sales. Bose also wants justice to issue an injunction to suspend sales of the two main products concerned in the world and the United States: the wired versions and Bluetooth headsets Beats Studio, accessories of fashion connected very popular stars. These are supposed to have an active noise reduction system, according to Beats Electronics. Bose offers since the 2000s, the helmets and equipped with a technology called QuietComfort headphones, supposed to significantly reduce noise in noisy areas such as public transit. It has updated this technology on several occasions: in 2003, 2006 and 2009. Bose also took the US (ITC) international trade Commission, according to his complaint. This judicial action may add an additional legal challenge to Apple, which already struggles with South Korean rival Samsung in several courts in the world. The Group of Cupertino (California) hope completed the acquisition for 3 billion dollars of Beats Electronics by end of September. . For additional facts about this subject check web site.

The Argentina still claims to want to treat and find a deal with hedge funds but says no to "extortion". It reaffirmed the Minister of economy of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillof, according to the news agency Bloomberg. Kicillof highlights that Argentina wants to honor its commitments and fulfil their obligations. However, there is a big problem as the delta de la Plata: the American judgment is impossible to enforce because if Buenos Aires pays hedge funds, according to the Minister, bond holders who joined the share Exchange will cause. With catastrophic effects already mangled finances of the Latin American country. «The Argentina pays its debts, is the judge who is blocking the funds to creditors», revealed Kicillof, calling into question the International Monetary Fund (IMF), according to him "worried". The New York Judge Thomas Griesa, according to the Chief of Cabinet Jorge Capitanich,, «is not showing good faith» because «disallowing» suspension of judgment, Griesa and hedge funds are trying to blow up the debt swap. The comments by the representatives of the Government of Buenos Aires come after this night there was another black smoke in the new session of talks with hedge funds on reimbursement of tango bond. Daniel Pollack, the special master appointed by the Court in New York to promote a deal, admitted at the end of the meeting that "the issues separating the parties continue so far without result." In a brief statement released after three hours of talks, the Ombudsman said that representatives from Buenos Aires refused to meet those of the hold out, i.e. bond holders who have not accepted the concambi of 2005 and 2010, to which the Latin American Country owes about 1.5 billion, pursuant to the judgment of judge Griesa, confirmed on appeal by the Supreme Court in Washington. Griesa has also determined that Argentina will not pay the holders of securities that have accepted the concambi until they arrive at an agreement with hedge funds, the funds ‘ buitre ‘ (Vulture) as they call them in Buenos Aires, thus blocking more than 500 million dollars deposited in the accounts of the Bank of New York Mellon at the Argentine Central Bank. If Argentina does not cover these payments later than 30 July will again be in default on its foreign debt. «Time to avoid a default-experienced Pollack-is very short, "in the hope that" there will be new meetings between the parties in the coming days.

Sportscheck Nuremberg, 15 July, day two after the German national team’s brilliant World Cup victory: the branch of sports Trader had the privilege to be able to offer 400 of the coveted four star jerseys of the German team after its victory against Argentina. In no time, they were out of stock. Ten times of the amount could can get rid of the dealers on the day; for the proud price of 84.95 EUR for the adult and 64.95 euros for the kid’s Jersey. Our colleagues in the branch in Stuttgart were less well: they received just 50 units from the scarce allocations of football shirts produced by adidas. To 10 03 h – three minutes after opening the doors – they were gone. Some dealers will in the not even the three star Jersey with fourth star flocked have. Patience is currently in demand. Up down football fans are put off, by sellers in sports shops on mid-August sometimes even until the end of September, when the jerseys in homoeopathic doses delivered are again sold out in no time. Also the detour via the Internet is of little help. Because it takes just as long with the delivery. On the side of online adidas read promising little: "Coming soon." At sport check, it just means it could be sold multiples of, what was available. It is even more specific: "A nice six-figure number of jerseys can be delivered by mid-August", says Andreas Rudolf, Managing Director of the Dealers Association sport 2000. And if it goes after him, the agony of waiting will be in about three weeks passed: "Then the bulk of the trade will be served, what is a but remarkable performance by adidas." The sporting goods manufacturer, although he could still report a positive story, retains covered. It gradually would delivered the tranches of the made in China and flown in by plane from there jerseys throughout Germany. The production run up unabated, a spokeswoman said. The logistics is just part of the challenge. It a matter of Yes, to procure the materials or easy to install on the fourth star for their fourth World Cup title of the German team. So finally also the Golden FIFA emblem must be manufactured, that falls between the three stripes of adidas and the stars in the eye. It seems the company from the onslaught is even surprised. In the trade talk, that considerably more than 200 000 jerseys are sold in the next few weeks and the demand, could last until the Christmas business is. Klaus Jost, CEO of 1500 stores the largest European retail chain Intersport, remains more conservative: "I think it realistic that 150 000 to 200 000 can be sold jerseys." He admits: "With each passing day the euphoria from and thus the interest in buying unfortunately also automatically takes." Less the sports fans as rather the trade looks in his disposition also continue in the future. Next year, Jost said, come the New Jersey debut out for that will be sold as well. And in a few weeks, the next sensory overload begins for football enthusiasts: the Bundesliga season begins. The sales with the new uniforms of the Bundesliga clubs runs high. Currently, adidas but is under pressure to supply the trade. Daily, it is 5000 to 10 000 would be flown in jerseys. Do not pay the company commented. A company spokeswoman called the figures cited in the industry by 8000 connectors supplied in the first week after the World Cup and some 14 000 shirts this week as wrong. "At the moment, almost every distribution channel in the offer is considered", says Jost of head of Intersport. "It will calm down but in the coming months." The Board believed that at the end of about one-third of the 3000 sports stores in Germany will offer the four-star shirt. So far, two million shirts with three stars have been, sold of 1.3 to 1.4 million units domestically. During the biggest sporting event in the world, the sale has been fueled by the success of the German team. During the period, shirts over the counter trading had ordered in time went alone 600 000 to 700 000. Adidas is second-largest sport group behind the American competitor of Nike. With two billion euros, the Germans in the business with football boots, jerseys and footballs from Nike (1.7 billion euros) are but larger annual turnover. The fuss about the four star Jersey brings high attention and win big image. Economically the assault not paying off. The additional sales reached 15 to 17 million euro in total. Industry groups estimate that adidas about receives 35 euros per shirt, so just 7 million euros. That does not fall within the weight with a group turnover of 15 billion euros. Certainly not, this is reflected in the result. The jerseys come finally First-Class by plane to Germany. . Related facts can be found visiting http://es.carbnitereviews.biz.

Last year on New Year’s Eve Andrew and I went to the hospital in the afternoon so that I could be induced. We stuck around for an hour, but not much was happening so they sent us home. I made pasta for dinner. We watched Treme. I paced around the house in circles because walking was supposed to speed things up and it was too cold to go outside. We were quiet. I paid close attention to my body, but it was quiet too. Either way, we had been instructed to return to the hospital at nine, around the time most people were heading out for New Year’s Eve parties. We got a birthing room, and we saw my OB who gave me another dose of inducing gel, but between then and midnight still nothing changed. It was the most boring and most memorable New Year’s Eve, and I will always remember being in a bed in that hospital room, drinking ice water, and trying to sleep. All that waiting. And then Clara was born late the next day, the first day of the year, and finally the waiting was over.
I can write an entire paragraph about the night before Clara was born, but I can only approximate the entire first year she was here in fragments. There was too much! So much happened! It was good, and sometimes bad, and sometimes harder than expected, but sometimes easier than expected too. It was so, so much in one short year.
When I was pregnant, I wrote a lot. I had an endless Word document that I used to record what pregnancy felt like, how I spent my days, how I was feeling. I thought I would continue once Clara was born, but it turns out that I barely wrote anything about her first year, didn’t record the dates of any milestones, hardly recorded my feelings about anything. I’m not sure why — it wasn’t necessarily for lack of time. It was lack of words, maybe. Even today, a year later, I still feel like I’m formulating my thoughts about the whole thing, like I still don’t have the right words. I took so many pictures on my phone, though. The funny thing is that when I look at the pictures now, especially from the very, very beginning, they aren’t the Clara I remember. She looks different from the baby I have in my head. Which memory is more accurate? I guess the photograph. Still.
But I want to remember everything about this year. I want to remember the earliest days in January, the snow outside, and being warm in our house with Clara wrapped in blankets, the days broken up by two hour feedings rather than by daylight or darkness. I want to remember the feeling of her curled up in my arms while I nursed her or how she stretched out across my lap sleeping. How we bundled her in the carseat and brought her out into the world, and how, before we got one of those mirrors for the car, whenever we stopped at a red light I would race out of the car and quickly check that she was still breathing.
I want to remember the feeling of returning to normal, of not being so irrationally afraid, of embracing the new routines and how nice it felt. Going to the café and writing while she slept. I want to remember the spring, and taking long walks with her in the stroller. Our picnics outside when it got warmer. Our trips. Watching Andrew carry her through the small winding streets of Hydra. Holding her close on an airplane during takeoffs and landings. Seeing her learn how to sit, how to clap, how to eat, how to drink from a cup.
The feeling of seeing her personality emerge, and her smiles and her laughs.
I’m grateful for a lot of things in 2015: that I was able to spend the entire year at home knowing my job was protected, that I went into the year knowing very few mothers and came out the other end with a group of women I could reach out to. I’m grateful for friends who offered help, who just wanted to hang out, who loved Clara like family, who incessantly texted back and forth with me. I’m grateful to our families and everything they have done for us. I’m grateful for Andrew, and of course I am so grateful for Clara.
The thing that’s hard about writing this is that I can’t convey the joy I’ve felt this year because of Clara. How she’s made us laugh so often over the silliest things. It’s almost embarrassing, and it’s kind of simple too, but what a lovely happiness, one that comes so naturally, so easily! We waited for it, and it was worth the wait. I feel so lucky for 2015.
That’s really all I have to say about it.

The OneClick installer plugin from Anirudh Sanjeev won the recent WordPress plugin competition. It may seem hard to believe, but after you install the plugin and its associated Firefox extension, installing a plugin only requires you to right-click the plugin's download link and select OneClick Install > Plugin. Then voila, OneClick automatically installs the plugin and only needs activation from your plugin page. It works similarly for installing themes.
This plugin will save you time and allow you to more quickly explore the myriad of plugins published daily for WordPres.
I thought the installation instructions were a little scattered, so I wrote out a simplfied version below. To install and use the plugin, do the following:
To install the one-click installer:
1. Click this link to download the OneClick plugin from Aniruah's page.
2. Unzip the plugin and upload it to your wp-content/plugins directory (just like any other plugin).
3. Activate the plugin.
For more info, see the OneClick plugin home page.
To install the OneClick Firefox extension:
1. Go to the OneClick Firefox extension page and click the green Install Now button. After installing the extension, restart Firefox.
2. Go to the Dashboard page of your blog's admin console, and then click the new OneClick Install subtab that appears.
3. Copy the URL that appears in your browser's address bar (which corresponds to this OneClick Install subtab page).
4. In Firefox, go to Tools > Add-ons, and then click the Options button under the OneClick Installer extension. (See the following image.)
5. Paste the URL into the OneClick Installer field dialog box, and then click OK.
For more info, see the OneClick Firefox extension page.
To install a sample plugin (and test the OneClick installer):
1. Go to the WordPress plugin page.
2. Right-click the Download link next to a plugin, and select OneClick Install > Plugin. (See the following image.)
3. Go to your blog's Plugin page and activate the plugin you just installed.
Note: Many plugins may have additional installation instructions. For example, a plugin may require you to insert code into a page or do other tricks before it works. So while the OneClick Installer activates the plugin, be sure to see the specific plugin instructions for additional steps.
If the plugin doesn't work, make sure your plugin directory has 755 chmod attributes (just right-click the plugin folder in your FTP program, select File Attributes, and type 755).
You can also install plugins by going to the OneClick subtab from the your Dashboard, and pasting in the plugin zip file's URL into the Install from Remote Zip field.
Thanks Anirudh for writing such an awesome plugin. Also, thanks to the WordPress podcast for letting me know about it.

The best battle ropes offer a tough arm and upper body strength workout and are often used in Ironman and ultimate fighting training. People think of battle ropes as purely a strength training tool but they also offer a high intensity cardio workout and are excellent fat burners.
We have selected some of the best battle ropes. Most of our choices come in different lengths so be sure to take into account the length you will need in the space you have, whether indoors, in the garden or at the gym. The length you will need will be half the length of the rope because it is anchored in the centre.
Battle rope reviews
Power guidance battle rope
click to view current price on amazon
Firstly, this rope is tough, heavy and the nylon sleeve protects the rope so that it can’t fray or wear easily on tough surfaces. This is one of our favourites and you’ll never regret buying it
Power guidance have produced an excellent battle rope that is available in 3 different lengths, 30, 40 or 50 foot long. The handles are heat shrinked and feel very comfortable and easy to grip so your hands don’t slip off.
The rope is heavy and the materials look and feel like they are good quality and durable. Power guidance informed us that the rope is made of 100% Dacron which means that it is heavier than if a mixture of materials is used for construction.
Who are we to argue? It feels heavy and there is an included anchor if mounting the rope in one place is important to you otherwise it is possible to use a sandbag, weight or other heavy items to attach it to as an anchor point.
The rope is visually nice to look at and the power guidance logo is sharp and the yellow target symbol looks smart. Most importantly the workout with the power guidance feels tough, heavy and reacts and flows nicely when performing the double wave, which is a good test of how they feel and how much you can directly feel the weight working your muscles.
Brilliant nylon cover protecting the whole rope
Available in 30-40-50 foot length
Heavy and tough
NexPro Battle Rope
The Nexpro comes in 30,40 and 50 foot lengths and either 1.5 or 2 inch thickness. This model is 1.5 inches thick and is as heavy as you need for any tough workout. If you have been using battle ropes for a long time and it doesn’t feel like enough of a workout anymore or you are super strong then you could consider the 2 inch thickness but 1.5 inches is thick and heavy enough for most people.
The Nexpro grip is comfortable and solid. You wont need to worry about the rope getting damp because of a protective layer that is water proof and also covers the three twisted ropes keeping it firm and stopping any fraying.
Blasting out some double slams really hits your legs and core and is a great test of how strong the Nexpro is. slamming down hard there was a good solid amount of weight and the rope handled them with ease, no fraying and the grip was tight even when our hands became slightly sweaty.

So you want to be a Firebreather?
This name oozes a sense of toughness, strength and also intimidation. A battle rope is intimidating at first. My grandad climbed ropes in his world war 2 training in the army. They would fly up and down the rope with ease when they weren’t jumping out of planes with a parachute on.
Those guys were really tough, and it’s nice to try and replicate their mental strength and willingness to do what it takes to get fit and strong, always ready to be at your best.
The firebreather rope lay on the floor look great, but how tough can a rope lying on the floor be?. Well, let me tell you, they are heavy and after a few powers slams and alternating waves you’ll feel like you’ve been in the gym for an hour.
Again, the three size options are 30,40 or 50 foo, choose wisely and it’s better to choose one thats longer rather than short because you can always put a knot in it and shorten the length a bit, but ideally choose a suitable length, if you have the space then choose the 50 foot you’ll be glad of the extra weight.
A firebreather is known in fitness circles as someone who is extremely fit and has a lot of power, if you use the firebreather often enough eventually people might call you a firebreather yourself, or if not at least you can work towards improving your fitness, weight loss or strength goals and have some fun.

Garage Fit have focused on fitness equipment that is great for your garage gym or anywhere at home. This rope is another high quality design with a blue tracking rope running alongside the three twists rope sections and this is a feature we haven’t seen in many of these products.
The blue line is apparently for making it much easier to deal with any rope repairs, but for us, we expect to be using these to workout for a long time and more than likely won’t ever need to repair them. at that stage we will probably be ready for the longer 50 foot battle rope.
Aesthetically the Garage gym product looks good and it is designed for use outdoors so it is tough and won’t quickly fray when you slap it onto pavement again and again.
The included anchor looks good and the grip is to the same standard that most of these brands provide, comfortable and gentle on the hands.
Iron Bull strength
Click image to view price on Amazon
We love the iron bull strength logo and unique red and black interlocking ropes that look great. It’s difficult to find many good battle ropes that aren’t black and we weren’t sure about these at first but when your working out and the rope is flowing up and down the black and red colours look visually impressive
Two 16 inch nylon straps are included so you can anchor the rope easily and the straps connect in a way that protects the rope from fraying
Iron bull strength claim this rope was designed for use at the shipyard where a lot of force is placed on it and it has to withstand challenging conditions. In all honesty, we don’t know the finer details about the design but it is a tough and strong battle rope that appears to be made in a similar way to the other ropes.
If you are looking for a more interesting design and a high quality build, this is another good choice.
Elite SRS Battle Rope Kit
Click image to view price on amazon
Elite SRS are a fitness brand we think are brilliant. Founded by a group of people who love fitness and the outdoors there focus is on quality fitness equipment made of ropes and cables. SRS were founded by Matt Hopkins who is a nation championship speed jumper and they actually designed the original speed jump rope.
Many crossfit athletes and speed jumpers use SRS products because of the quality and focus n the best design possible. This SRS battle rope kit comes in a choice of colours, which is a great idea and seems to show their focus on the customer. You can choose from our favourite which is blue/black, blue/red, green/black which is also very cool, purple/black, red/black and silver/black. it will probably take you a while to choose one because the colour combinations look visually impressive apart from the blue and red rope which we don’t like the look of.
At first the rope is quite stiff which is sometimes the case anyway. After a few workouts it will start to loosen more and flow nicely. A good exercises for judging whether it is loosened up is performing the snakes on the floor, a great shoulder workout where you stand with your legs shoulder width apart or slightly wider, drop your arms by your sides holding the rope, squat and then move your arms out wide and back together without crossing them over, the rope should look like two snakes crawling along the floor. there is a coating on either end which forms the grip. Gripping the handles is comfortable and you can get a good hold easily.
The SRS is available in both 1.5 and 2 inch thickness, with the thicker offering a heavier and more challenging workout. Whichever you choose can be bought in 30,40 and 50 foot lengths. They are made of 80% Dacron and are high quality gym grade. The majority of people we know of that have been working out with these seem to be happy but as with all fitness ropes, sometimes you can get a bad rope that frays a bit or isn’t quite up to standard. In that case contact the seller immediately and they should resolve any issues quickly.

Tradmark Innovations have produced a great battle rope made of Dacron. We like the black and yellow colour combination with the thread rope running through the middle providing the yellow. At a reasonable price this is a well made rope that offers an excellent indoor or outdoor workout and it won’t unravel or start to fray.
You can choose from the standard 30,40 or 50 ft lengths. There is no anchor strap included so you’ll have to purchase that separately.
Factors to consider
Materials and durability
The highest quality ropes we have reviewed are made primarily of Dacron. Some are blended with other materials but if you want to be sure you are getting the best and longest lasting rope you need to make sure it is made of at least 70% Dacron. Paying attention to the materials will ensure you are purchasing the best tool possible for your fitness training.
Size – Length and thickness of the rope
Battles ropes usually come in a choice of two different thicknesses 1.5 inches and 2 inches. Choosing which thickness is best for you is an important decision because you don’t want a rope that isn’t offering the best rope workout possible for your own physical capability.
The 1.5 inch thickness is the best choice for most people. It is thinner so easier to grip onto especially when you are doing a cardio workout that involves longer reps and is more of a HIIT workout. The rope is also a little bit lighter so if you are new to this exercise 1.5 inches is the best choice unless you have very big hands and are already very powerful then 2 inches might be a good choice for you.
The 2 inch thickness is roughly 36% bigger then the 1.5 inch rope so it is a much greater width to hold and harder to keep hold of for long intense cardio workouts. If you have big hands and are looking to focus mostly on increasing power and strength then the increased weight and greater circumference of the 2 inches is a good choice.
You can usually choose from 30, 40 or 50 ft long. The actual clear space you will need is half the total length because the rope is anchored at the half way point. Sometimes you need to choose a shorter option if you are limited by the amount of space you have in your home gym, garden or garage. Ideally the 50 foot option is the best choice because the rope is a little bit more fluid and easier to manipulate but the shorter options still offer a very similar workout which is still very good. We know a lot of people who love the shorter lengths so it’s completely up to you and how much room you have. The longer options cost a little bit more but for the amount of extra battle rope you are getting they are good value.
What exercises can i use a battle rope for?
The Double Wave
The double wave is the simplest and one of our favourite exercises with battle ropes. You’ve probably seen people doing these at your local gym and they might even be the reason your looking at buying some.
– Stand with your legs roughly shoulder width apart, slightly wider is great.
– Hold the two ends of the rope with finger nails and palms facing towards each other and simultaneously lift the left and right arm up as high as possible and down again
– Repeat this movement as quickly as possible making sure you engage your core and brace your legs with a slight flex in your knees.
Once you have mastered the double wave, you can make it more interesting by alternating between the left and right arm raising up, so when one arm is up the other is down. This movement takes place quickly and produces a great visual effect as well as working your arms and shoulders hard and your core if you engage it properly and focus on maintaining a smooth and consistent motion.
The slam is a move which will work your arms, shoulders core and back but is best for getting a really good ab workout.
– Make sure your legs are shoulder width apart and feet firmly placed on the ground forming a solid base to work off.
– Engage your core muscles and lift both arms up high and then slam both ropes down to the ground as hard as you can.
Circles are great. You need to try these out as part of your shoulder workout. The idea is that, almost like holding sparklers on bonfire night and drawing circles and other shapes, you will hold the rope grips one in each hand and move each arm in a circular motion. It is possible to move both arms inwards creating circles, outwards or alternate between the different variations with both arms focusing on anti clockwise or clockwise motions, or left arm anti clockwise,right arm clockwise.
We love gym equipment that is also fun to use and the best battle ropes are a lot of fun. From the first moment you seem them flowing in the gym they grab your attention and even if you don’t know what the whole deal is with them you want a go.
A few minutes later your arms are tired, you’ve flung them up and down and side to side a little and it feels really good. Using a skipping rope can be great fun as well, there is something that feels natural and rewarding about using a rope, it feels more hands on and real than some gym equipment which are rigid and don’t work your muscles as thoroughly and don’t include such a wide range of motion.
With so many products to choose from it’s hard to differentiate between them all when the majority offer a great fitness experience. Whichever you choose we hope you will try out the hundreds of different possible exercises that workout your triceps, core, biceps, shoulders, legs, hips, increase your power and improve your cardiovascular endurance.

Development poses an integral part of Bisan Center’s work and vision, as it adopts a progressive developmental notion that focuses on the socio-economic rights of the Palestinian community in general and on the poor and marginalized in particular. Seeking to generalize the concept of control over natural resources and its exploitation in a way that provides social justice, Bisan Center’s development philosophy is based on developmental initiatives that combines national liberation, social progress and democracy.
Bisan has presented models of development through its projects, programs and research. Throughout conventions, focus groups and research, Bisan offers a critical view of development than that presented by the Palestinian Authority. By criticizing governmental corruption in management and distribution of resources, the center presents an alternative development model, which prioritizes production, investment, and natural resources over consumption and liberal economic policies.

Pak cannot be asked to do more: Gilani
"Pressure cannot be put on Pakistan to do more in the war on terrorism. Our national interests must be respected under all circumstances," Gilani said.
The premier rejected allegations by senior US officials, including military chief Adm Mike Mullen, linking the Inter- Services Intelligence agency to the Haqqani network and recent terror attacks in Afghanistan, saying these accusations were a cause of concern for Pakistan.
Referring to steps taken by Pakistan to back the peace and reconciliation process in Afghanistan and a sudden spurt in terror attacks in the neighbouring country, Gilani said, "In the light of these events in Afghanistan, the US leadership`s statements were surprising for us as they were contrary to Pakistan`s sacrifices and successes against terrorism and extremism".
"While rejecting all these accusations, we have focussed on positive and responsible ways to resolve these problems" he added.

Core Wellness and Physical Therapy
930 Lila Ave, Milford OH 45150
I went to Kristin to see if I could get my body back in check. After gall bladder surgery, I felt off and my husband and I were also trying to conceive but having difficulty. Kristin was so personable yet very professional. She evaluated me and then worked with me in a variety of ways: myofascial release, acupressure, and healing touch. After only a couple of sessions, my body feels better....AND we're expecting! I highly recommend Kristin! Thank you! June 2015 L.B.
In today's society, there is more pressure than ever to get back to your normal routine and weight as soon as possible after having a baby. Your body goes through an enormous change during and after pregnancy, and, without proper care, can lead to chronic pain. This, coupled with lack of proper strength to do things such as lift the car seat, carry your baby and return to lifestyle demands, can lead to a life-long, unnecessary pain. Many times, if the issue is dealt with proactively or as soon as possible after the issues begins, success is promising. Ailments include such things as pelvic instability, low back pain, diastasis recti, bladder leakages, and core weakness. These are common and not necessary issues! Core Wellness and Physical Therapy can use a combination of myofascial release, dry needle therapy, muscle energy techniques, targeted exercises, and energy work to get you back to your life and enjoying your new bundle of joy.
Let's face it, pregnancy is very tough on a woman's body. The body changes remarkably during this time and this often leads to pain. By utilizing hands on techniques such myofascial release, muscle energy techniques, craniosacral releases, acupressure and targeted exercises, therapy can help alleviate things such as low back pain, neck pain, sciatica, arm pain/radiculopathy and upper back pain. Core Wellness and Physical Therapy can help with the various aliments and give you invaluable tips to help you get through this challenging, yet wonderful time.
Due to various internal and environmental stressors, your body can become blocked both facially and energetically. This can negatively impact the necessary components of fertility. By using a combination of myofascial release, craniosacral release, muscle energy techniques, acupressure and healing touch, your body can become free of physical or energetic congestion, thereby allowing the body to be more apt for enhanced fertility.
At Core Wellness and Physical Therapy, we take care of Mamas! Being a mom in all of its stages is tough on the body, both emotionally and physically. We will get you back to your active lifestyle!!

In US v. Llamas, No. 09-4045, the court faced a challenge to a conviction for multiple offenses arising from defendant's role in fraudulent sweepstakes scheme, a 132 month sentence and restitution order exceeding $4.2 million. In affirming the conviction and the sentence, the court rejected defendant's arguments including, that the district court erred in applying an adjustment for preying on unusually vulnerable victims and in finding that he played a central role at the Costa Rica call center in the scheme. However, the court vacated and remanded the restitution order as the district court abused its discretion in not limiting the restitution amount to losses attributable to the call center.
In US v. Caro, No. 07-5, the court faced a challenge to a conviction for first-degree murder of and a sentence of death for killing of an inmate. The defendant made several challenges to his conviction, including district court's voir dire, denial of his Brady motions, refusal to give defendant's proposed mercy instruction, and various admissibility decisions. However, the court rejected all of defendant's claims and affirmed his conviction and sentence and concluded that, although the court recognized some possible errors, none of these were widespread or prejudicial enough to have fatally infected the trial or sentencing.
Lastly, in Mirisawo v. Holder, No. 08-1704, the court dealt with a petition for review BIA's decision affirming the IJ's removal order to remove petitioner from United States to Zimbabwe. The petitioner claimed that the BIA erred in finding that she failed to show that she suffered economic deprivation to amount to past persecution. But the court held that the BIA's judgment is supported by substantial evidence that the destruction of her house in Zimbabwe by the government was not an economic persecution, as she has never lived in that house, nor was it likely she ever will live in the partially remaining house. The court also affirmed the BIA's conclusion that petitioner's fear of future persecution was not objectively reasonable.

The New, Out-of-Control Amanda Show Is What Happens When They Cancel InterventionRob Kim/Getty
After eight years, A&E has canceled Intervention, and once the final five episodes air in June it will only be a matter of time before you forget you ever knew the name Candy Finnigan. It was probably about time. Last season a bulimic man named Andrew was revealed to have submitted himself for intervening, a big no-no in the ambush-oriented Johnson Model that the show follows. Watching more recent seasons of Intervention required convincing oneself that the featured addicts were computerless, televisionless people who were too far gone to Google “addiction documentary” and notice that they kept encountering the same suspense-ruining title in their results. Years ago, addicts were shouting “I knew it!” at Jeff VanVonderen, seated on floral upholstery in an airport hotel, but it still appeared possible that they were at least 20 percent surprised at what was happening to them. Over time, they seemed to know the score earlier and earlier in the episode; Andrew orchestrating his own rehab catalyst was just Fonzie finally clearing the shark he’d been hovering over for a while.
The format of Intervention is durably watchable — it boasts an impressive success rate and has delivered some compelling character studies, from sobbing Rocky Lockridge to gambling addict Gabe Green — but its subject matter is less so. Eventually it has a deadening effect, not just because of the fractured families, dirty restrooms, and vomit-session audio, but because at some point you will feel very sorry for the addict, cornered and bombarded with disappointed letters from their loved ones. That didn’t keep me from watching it, of course, but I did start approaching it with a sort of funereal attitude. Occasionally it can leave the hardened veteran fan feeling both libertarian and contrarian: Nobody wants to be the subject of an intervention, but almost everyone has something that could be perceived as intervenable. At what point do you just leave a person alone?
Of course, most of the subjects of Intervention are in pretty poor shape, and their families and friends are justifiably sick of supporting them. In most cases, the bottom lines set forth by these people indicate that they’ve been providing vital things to the addict that will be snatched away if treatment is not accepted: money, love, relationships, cell phones. The show is shot from the perspective of a concerned and intimate source, providing a biographical crash course of childhood montages and a brief summary of pertinent past traumatic events. We are taught, as economically as possible, to care about the participant as he or she existed before the fall in order to forgive them for being manipulative and generally difficult later. We become invested in reviving that smiling baby or rising MMA star, using the investment to pay off the debt we acquire by watching them huff computer cleaner or spit ramen noodles at other people during fits of drug-induced rage.
Hollywood meltdowns are similarly captivating, capitalizing on a fake familiarity that can be confused for actually caring about the subject: Charlie Sheen earned over a million dollars an episode during his final season of Two and a Half Men, a salary made possible by our collective demand for his presence. It almost felt as though we had purchased seats to his tiger blood sideshow by being ever so slightly, tangentially involved in his success. Britney Spears appeared naked and pregnant on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar shortly before shaving her head and seeking treatment; Lindsay Lohan’s unflagging desire to keep racking up film credits despite her problems is one of her most endearing attributes. Their fumbles all seemed a relevant part of the entertainment landscape, troubles that affected our media and were therefore newsworthy or important.
The Amanda Bynes saga, however, is different. Bynes either retired or was fired from Hollywood in 2010 following rumors of erratic behavior. Though Easy A would be released that year, Bynes’s career was already marked by canceled features (Hairspray 2) and role replacements (Alexandra Daddario took over for her in Hall Pass) that seemed like the marks of being gently shoved into obscurity. She appeared in Maxim (“Some people still see me as a kid, but I’m a 23-year-old woman now”) and planned to move to New York to focus on her fashion line, which could have been optimistically viewed as the celebrity version of retiring and relocating to New Mexico to make pottery and dreamcatchers. It wasn’t so. She terrorized the roadways of Los Angeles in 2012, perpetrating car crimes ranging from DUIs to hit-and-runs to “driving aimlessly around Burbank Airport,” then began using Twitter as the stage for her strange experimental play. Bynes speaks to her followers directly, at lengths that require she TwitLonger. Certain aspects of it are fascinating (see: her Blac Chyna makeover, the poetic clatter of the words “I want @drake to murder my vagina”) while others are just sad (the winking selfies and when she begs tabloids to publish more flattering photos of her roaming the city streets in a bad wig). When Rihanna responded to a string of offensive @’s flung in her direction by Bynes with “Ya see what happens when they cancel Intervention?” she had a good point. Watching the Bynesplosion had the awful suspense of the music that plays on the ride to the final Intervention confrontation, without the reassurance that it’s ever actually going to occur — a long trip in the back of an SUV bound for a hell of flash-addled selfies and despair.
As with Sheen, there’s a desire to believe that Amanda is trolling us all, despite the evidence, and arrests, that point to the contrary. But unlike Sheen, Bynes had excused herself from widespread relevance. We weren’t already looking at her when we noticed she was acting crazy. We looked at her because she was acting crazy. And the weirder she gets, the closer we come to a crescendo of interest that’s studded with confusing implied exclamation marks: BUSTED FOR POT POSSESSION AND FELONY BONG TOSSING, AMANDA BYNES BLASTS RIHANNA ON TWITTER. Well, duh. She has been a full-time TMZ headline generator all week, most recently promising to “sue everybody.” Bynes can’t be blamed for being paranoid (“don’t believe anything you read about me unless I confirm it on twitter”), however, because the parody account @ArmandaBynes has duped at least a few people by replying to tweets directed to the real account, including one spiny missive to Courtney Love. Tricksy!
Despite the fact that it gradually wrapped me in soul callouses, I always admired Intervention for being a relatively classy reality show, and I think its cancellation is in line with that reputation. It did its thing hard and then ducked out to preserve itself in our memories as 243 distinctly dramatic crises wrapped up to the strains of a song, the lyrics to which I have always misinterpreted as “flies gather over.” Unlike when these stories play out in the untamed prairies of real, unedited life, there has been resolution, something to break the suction of our dread-filled attention. Bynes has rebooted and reinvented The Amanda Show as a mystifying new media dramedy, but a bong hurtling out of a high-rise apartment may be a good note on which to roll the credits and leave.

I'm getting an error when I try to login; what should I do?
Enter your email address on the login screen and then press Forgot Password? to receive a reset password email. That solves most login problems we hear about. If it doesn't find your email address, then you probably created your account with a different email address.
If all else fails, try removing the app and reinstalling it.

WASHINGTON (CBS/AP) — As recently as a decade ago, just the suggestion of a legitimate female candidate for the White House would be nothing short of historic.
But now, the Republican party is debating whether there is room enough for two of them.
Rep. Michele Bachmann, who is considering a run for the Republican presidential nomination, says she thinks the race can accommodate both her and Sarah Palin.
Both women are favorites of the tea party movement. But Bachmann says she doesn’t compare herself to Palin — she compares herself to President Barack Obama.
While Palin hasn’t officially declared her candidacy, she continues to send mixed signals about her political plans for 2012.
Reid Wilson, editor in chief of The Hotline from the National Journal, told KNX 1070 may actually be ducking the media during a recent trip to Washington, D.C.
“She visited the Mall, she visited Mount Vernon, she visited Fort McHenry up in Baltimore, and Gettysburg yesterday, but she doesn’t seem to want this media attention,” said Wilson.
Bachmann, meanwhile, insists there’s “enough room for a lot of contenders” to challenge Obama.
The Minnesota Republican says she considers Palin, the GOP’s 2008 vice presidential candidate, a “friend,” not a
“competitor.” But she told ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Tuesday that she has no problem running against a friend.
Bachmann spoke to ABC from New Hampshire, which holds the GOP’s first presidential primary next year. She is expected to announce her campaign decision in Iowa next month.
