Be responsible at the Woodstock Stop (Translation)
3 August 2009
With the slogan of "Don't buy alcohol for teenagers. Let them listen to the music. Live responsibly," Kompania Piwowarska will promote responsible consumption of alcohol to this year's audience of the Woodstock Stop. Drivers will receive special stickers reminding them not to drive after consuming alcohol. Those willing will be able to check their alcohol blood count with a professional police breathalyzer. Kompania Piwowarska has also run a series of training sessions for sellers of alcohol so they can prevent alcohol purchase by adolescents.
"The producer of LECH - Kompania Piwowarska - has been present at the Woodstock Stop for years now. Its representatives engage in programs which are to prevent alcohol abuse particularly by young people who comprise the majority of the festival's audience. That's why the actions by Kompania Piwowarska are so important to us, for they complement the social function of the festival," says Jurek Owsiak, founder of the great Orchestra of Christmas Charity.

The statement by Katarzyna Wilczewska,j Public Affairs Manager of KP, regarding the company's engagement in the Woodstock Stop
Alcohol is not for youngsters
We obtained great results due to such actions and training sessions by the sellers of alcohol, organized annually before this largest rock festival in Poland. "The checks made proved that not even one adolescent person bought alcohol," as we read in last year's report prepared for the National Agency of Solving Alcohol Problems. "Approaching a roll-bar with an ID in order to buy a beer is standard at the Woodstock Stop," say the regulars of the Festival. Alcohol sellers learn at the training sessions all the tricks used by adolescents who try to purchase alcohol, as well as many persuasive techniques and how to refuse selling alcohol to the youngsters. "We really care that the youngsters enjoy the company, good music and share in general fun, but the beer is reserved entirely for grownups. We also want the youngsters not to try to purchase alcohol and not to seek the assistance of grownups in purchasing beer. We also want the youth not to get exposed to the negative aftereffects of alcohol abuse or its irresponsible consumption," explains Paweł Kwiatkowski, Director for Corporate Affairs and Kompania Piwowarska's Spokesman.
Something for the drivers
Kompania Piwowarska does not forget about continually educating drivers who arrive at the Woodstock Stop. Special stickers have been prepared for them with the following slogan: "Don't drink and drive. Return home safely. Check your blood alcohol count." The checking of blood alcohol level count was organized for the first time this year together with the police. Every willing driver will have a chance to check his/her blood alcohol level with a professional breathalyzer. In addition, festival goers will receive leaflets explaining the program "Check Your Alcohol Blood Count" through which one may use one's own mobile phone as a portable breathalyzer. Details can be found at www.sprawdzpromile.pl. But this is not all that is available for drivers. Every "photographic" can of LECH, from a limited series prepared especially for Woodstock, sports a slogan: "I never drink and drive," which is a continuation of the voluntary obligation agreed on last year by the major beer producers in Poland.
Live responsibly
"Live responsibly" is a leading slogan of all the campaigns by Kompania Piwowarska promoting responsible alcohol consumption. Therefore, this slogan will be seen on the T-shirts of the sellers and the Festival's staff, as well as on many other materials promoting the Woodstock Stop 2009.
LECH and the photographic beer can
For the first time in the 15-year-old history of the Festival, LECH Premium became a sponsor of this year's Woodstock Stop. LECH has prepared a modern beer can with a color inscription in the form of a photo, especially made for the audience of the Festival, and for the first time ever in Poland. It was made in the innovative Hi-Res technique. The technology of its production is much more refined and advanced than the ordinary process of placing graphics on a beer can. The first "photographic" can in Poland will be presented to the audience of the rock concert. It will be available as a limited series as early as late July at the Festival. Thus, Woodstock is one of the few music festivals in the world with its own specially prepared beer cans for the occasion!
But that's not the end of LECH's participation in the Festival. The beer brand is also sponsoring a prize in the Band Factory contest and it has financed 1.5 thousand billboards promoting the Festival.
The 15th Woodstock Stop will take place in Kostrzyn on the Oder between July 31 and August 2.
Free admission!

Per the questioner, Obama is conducting his administration in ways that are "clearly illegal." That being the case, the Auburn resident asked: When will Rogers and his Republican colleagues in the U.S. House commence impeachment proceedings?
The question is hardly original. Across the nation, many Americans live with the same baseless fears. The president is a non-citizen, a secret Muslim, despotic totalitarian, socialist schemer plotting the downfall of the United States.
These Americans are burdened with a fever that seemingly won't break. They've broken faith with institutions that once stood as reliable sources to disabuse citizens of such nonsense. They don't trust the news media, most politicians or even the facts before their very eyes.
They trust the sources that whisper (and often shout) the fantastic tales they want to hear: The president is out to destroy the Second Amendment (NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre); the president's appointee to head the Defense Department is potentially treasonous (Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, on war hero Chuck Hagel); and the president is "cleansing" the U.S. military of Christians (Fox News), to cite but three recent examples.
Republicans run a huge risk in tolerating this seething anger at the president. Of course, hatred of the nation's 44th president generally helps the GOP at the ballot box. We find the summation of this strategy in the Republican literature that encourages supporters to, "Fight back, vote Republican."
However, such an intense fire is hard to contain. As the flames climb, constituents begin to get restless. They ask, Why haven't you impeached Barack Hussein Obama already? Which is the question posed to Rogers last week.
Points to the congressman for drawing a line in the sand.
"I share every frustration you've got," Rogers told the questioner, "but in absence of him doing something more directly in violation of the Constitution ... we would be wasting time and energy when people care about the economy. ... That's what people really want us to be focused on is jobs and the economy.
"The fact is we have to remember the man was elected by the majority of people in this country. I don't understand it. It didn't happen in my neck of the woods, but he was."
That sort of bracing reality might be the best way to break the anti-Obama fever.

I'm with ERIE
Green chef, green restaurant
May 12, 2011
Todd Bricken , Owner of Brick Ridge Restaurant
Customer with Matney Insurance Agency in Mount Airy, Md.
Hometown: Westminster, Md.
School house turned delicious: Once the Ridge #4 Schoolhouse, back in 1892, the Brick Ridge Restaurant now offers delicacies from places like New York, Oklahoma, Nebraska, California and, of course, Maryland—all inspired by Todd, a chef trained at the Culinary Institute of America (CIA), and his travels.
What's on the menu: San Fran Scallops, Maryland Crab Fondue, steaks galore, plenty of fish, a Grilled Rack of Lamb and more. Weekly specials occasionally feature culinary delights from a particular state.
Wash it down: With a glass of homemade lemonade, made with a splash of soda and/or a splash of pomegranate juice.
Partially powered by the wind: Neat history, neat menu and neat environmental efforts—Todd brought 2011 energy to the 1892 structure by partially powering the restaurant with a windmill out back.
Why go green? "Being green is just kind of a hobby of mine," says Todd. "We grow a lot of our own vegetables, we compost the scraps from the kitchen, we collect rain water. It's just something I enjoy."
Why ERIE? Todd's new to ERIE and came in part because of the great local service. "The Matneys were customers of the restaurant for a long time, so when I was shopping, I talked to them. I like keeping the business local, and they're great people. We've switched all our insurance—business and personal—over to the Matney Insurance Agency and ERIE. I've been really happy with both the price and the service—it's great."

Hudgins, 32, of Cedar Bluff was found dead Wednesday by a security guard inside a mechanical room at the arena of Gadsden State Community College's Centre campus at about 9 a.m.
The Cherokee County Sheriff's Office, Centre police, Cedar Bluff police, a forensics team and the Alabama Bureau of Investigations gathered in the parking lot behind the college arena for most of Wednesday. Authorities worked behind closed doors in the arena but focused part of their investigation on a trash bin that was marked off by police tape in a parking lot behind the arena.
Three men, one in a white jumpsuit with a head covering and gloves, examined the contents of the large bin. The man in the jumpsuit crawled inside and removed several items that were collected in brown paper evidence sacks.
Authorities have declined to release information about Hudgins' cause of death and are withholding the identity of a suspect, said Centre Mayor Tony Wilkie.
Family members, including cousins, a stepsister-in-law, Hudgins' stepmother and a stepbrother spoke to a reporter in the Piggly Wiggly parking lot in Cedar Bluff late Wednesday. They said Hudgins worked hard as a housekeeper at the college so she could support her two children, ages 8 and 11. She was unmarried and at one time attended Cedar Bluff High School.
"When they said this morning she was missing, I knew something was wrong because she always went home to those kids," said Sheila Motes, a cousin.
Hudgins didn't drink, didn't smoke and she didn't use drugs, the family said. They said she was of small stature, hardworking and quiet.
News of the investigation spread quickly through Cedar Bluff by word of mouth.
Cedar Bluff resident Deborah Brewster said late Wednesday that she heard about the investigation at about 11 a.m. while stopping in at the Piggly Wiggly.
"It was scary because stuff like that don't happen here," Brewster said.
Gadsden State President Ray Staats said from the Centre campus Wednesday that students and faculty were not in danger as a result of the incident that led to the Hudgins death.
"This is an isolated incident that took place," Staats said.
He said students and faculty were notified through an electronic messaging system that classes were canceled at the Centre campus Wednesday. Staats said he expects classes to resume as normal today.
Though Staats did not identify Hudgins as a college employee, he said maintenance workers are contract employees and are not technically employed by the college, although they work there.
The incident, he said, would prompt a review of policies and procedures at the college.
"We're going to go back and look at all of our procedures and make sure we have everything in order," Staats said.

Ron Coomer will be the Cubs' new radio analyst. The Tribune has confirmed he agreed to a two-deal that will be announced Friday to replace Keith Moreland in the WGN-AM 720 booth alongside play-by-play man Pat Hughes.
He became the clear front-runner as the other reported finalist, Todd Hollandsworth, took a full-time position with the MLB Radio Network, according to industry sources.
Coomer, 47, played for the Cubs in 2001 during a nine-year career mostly as a corner infielder. The Lockport High School graduate has been a TV studio analyst for the Twins.

Coomer was in the 1999 All Star Game and came to bat to start off one of the inning. Whatever inning it was was the inning that Carlton Fisk went out to coach first base. Fisk is my mother's favorite player so I snapped a picture that has Fisk in the coach's box with a big sign on the scoreboard announcing Coomer coming up. If you don't know it's Fisk it looks like I was very excited that Ron Coomer was coming to bat.
"Coomer, who plays third base for the Minnesota Twins, and the former Red Sox catcher became acquainted 15 years ago when he was a student-athlete at Lockport High School in suburban Chicago. Fisk relocated his family to Lockport when he left the Red Sox for the Chicago White Sox after the 1980 season. Fisk, whose three children went to Lockport High, began working with Coomer on hitting during the winter months when both were idle."

I started my musical education in a children's choir at age 6.
When I turned 8 years old, I began piano lessons. I started violin
at 9 and trombone at 10. I am now proficient on the guitar, bass, and piano. Having completed my tour of duty in the U.S. Army, I am currently on the Dean's list as a music/audio production major, and plan to continue my music education until I earn at least a masters in performance and composition. I currently also teach at Milestones in Music.. a local studio. I am a member of the Grammy U Recording Academy, and have had opportunities to work with a lot of different musicians. (The Recording Academy is the organization that created the most prestigious
award in music, the Grammy). I am the band leader at my church Montco Bible Fellowship, and the lead audio tech for and audio/video group.. Sanctuary Sound, and also do consultant work for organizations looking to setup a sound system/studio. I enjoy recording my own music in my home studio, and learning to play new instruments. I hope to pass my love for music to the next generation!
*** Lesson Details ***
I am a very laid back instructor... as you will find out! I understand that not everyone learns at the same rate; however, I am a perfectionist and don't allow students to advance until they have learned a particular skill. I would rather a student take forever to learn a song, and practice it with good technique, than be able to play it right away with poor form and posture! I reinforce the value of working toward goals and celebrate with students when they reach them.� I understand that every student has different interests and reasons for wanting to learn an instrument... I try to focus on the areas that are of interest to the student, because if you are enjoying yourself then you will excel.� This does not mean that the subjects and skills that are not of interest will not be taught, because I believe in being a well-rounded musician. I teach both jazz (improvisation/reading chord charts) and classical (written, composed music).�
*** Studio Equipment ***
My studio is currently not optimal for teaching... I hope to change this within the year!!
*** Travel Equipment ***
I provide lesson books and other learning materials... I expect the student to have their own instrument/equipment. Piano students are required to have a piano or a keyboard with weighted keys/hammer-action (preferably 88 keys), a piano bench and a pedal. Guitar/bass students must have an acoustic/electric guitar/bass with a strap or footstool, pick, and cable and amplifier if applicable! Digital audio students must have their own computer, software, digital audio interface, speakers/headphones and midi controller. All students must purchase a full size notebook with lined or staff paper!
*** Specialties ***
I specialize in classical and jazz piano and guitar, and jazz bass.
I am proficient at most production software including: cubase, reason, fl studio, melodyne, digital performer and protools... and other editing software such as sony sound forge, audacity, etc...

Integrated performance training is the key. My particular skill set places me firmly in between the worlds of both music and drama.

Owen C. is a flute and piccolo teacher in the Philadelphia area. He completed his Master of Music in Music Performance from Temple University in 2012. There, he studied under David Cramer, associate principal flutist of the Philadelphia Orchestra. Owen received his Bachelor of Music in Flute Performance from Rowan University in 2010. He studied with Adeline Tomasone, principal flutist of the Philadelphia Opera Orchestra, during his time at Rowan.
Owen began playing flute in elementary school and quickly fell in love with the instrument. Before attending college, he played with the Philadelphia Young Artists Orchestra, the Young Peoples Philharmonic in Bethlehem, PA, and played with the Allentown Symphony.
Owen C. earned a full performing arts scholarship at Rowan University. During his time there, he won the Rowan University Concerto Competition, performed at the National Flute Convention in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and studied at Domaine Forget in Quebec, Canada. At Temple University, Owen taught lessons to students with limited financial means as a part of the Community Music Scholars Program. In 2011, Owen had the pleasure to perform at Carnegie Hall with his colleagues.
Owen has been teaching private flute lessons since 2008. Music has proven to be a big part of his life. He looks forward to helping you reach your goals, whether that includes making your first sound or getting into the music program of your choice. We will start from where you are, and make a plan to help you reach your goals.

Hi, my name is Rosalind H. and I began my musical education at the age of ten, when I first started taking lessons. Since that time I have performed professionally as a singer in churches, cafes and at weddings and in venues including the Kimmel Center and Carnegie Hall during my college years with the renowned Westminster Symphonic Choir. After spending a year teaching children and adolescents aged 6-17 voice and piano while completing my Master�s of Arts in Music Therapy at Drexel University, I am now looking to take on private students in Chester County and surrounding areas.
� Westminster Choir College '11 Alum� Graduated with a Bachelor's of Arts in Music, summa cum laude� Member of the National Association of Teachers of Singing
Board Certified Music Therapist
*Please be aware that I teach Beginners Piano. I do, however, teach all levels of voice, as long as the interested voice student is over at least the age of 8. Singing lessons for students younger than this age can be detrimental to a child's vocal development.
*** Lesson Details ***
I am available to travel to your house (piano students must have a piano or keyboard) or host you in my home.
Piano students can expect to learn the basic music theory knowledge, including reading staff notation and lead sheets. I will also focus on fingering techniques and coordination. Students will be expected to practice theory knowledge and songs outside of lessons to help improve finger coordination and music-reading speed and accuracy.
I offer beginning to advanced singing lessons for students interested in classical, operatic, Broadway and popular music and beginning piano lessons.I try to provide my students the opportunity to practice a wide range of skills when learning music.
Voice students will learn exercises to practice good breath control, posture and diction, all of which form the foundations of good singing. Students will be expected to practice these exercises outside of lessons, prior to practicing vocal literature, so as to develop good singing habits. About fifty percent of lesson time will be dedicated to technique, and the other fifty percent will be dedicated to learning vocal pieces. Dependent upon their level of knowledge, students may also be asked to watch videos of professional singers outside of lessons, so as to expand their musical understandings and aural sensitivity. These practices will enhance muscle coordination and breath control when singing, helping to enhance and improve pitch, timbre, expression and vocal range.
As a board certified music therapist, I often draw upon those skills I learned during my master's degree in music therapy, which taught me that music can have a profound effect on the human brain and upon cognitive development. My skills as a music therapist allow me to better understand a student's cognitive strengths and areas for improvement, and to develop individualized teaching strategies which utilize student strengths.
*** Studio Equipment ***
My home studio is equipped with keyboard, guitar and piano, as well as a sizable repertoire of classical, broadway and popular music. I am more than happy to help students find any music they may need for lessons that is not already in my library. I also own a portable keyboard that I use for out-of-studio voice students.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I expect students to provide a piano if they are receiving at piano lessons as it is needed for practice. I have a portable keyboard for voice students, but I strongly recommend that voice students record their lessons for reference during practice.
I recommend the following books for piano students (listed by age):
Ages 5-8:
My First Piano Adventure, Lesson Book A with by Nancy & Randall Faber
Ages 8-12:Piano Adventures - Level 1: Lesson Book [Book]Faber Piano Adventures
Ages 13 and up:
Adult All-In-One Course: Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course, Level ...by Willard A. Palmer
*** Specialties ***
I specialize in classical and operatic music (arias and art songs), but I am comfortable with a wide array of singing literature, as I believe that the technical foundations of good singing remain constant, regardless of the genre. I also have performed with a gospel/spiritual choir, as a soloist, during my college years.
Accompaniment, Arrangement and Composition, Math, Music Theory, Piano
Being a current student at Temple University studying jazz performance, I can provide students with an inside perspective of the Philadelphia jazz scene as I gig in the city fairly frequently. Lessons will be fun and informative, working on either jazz and/or basic piano proficiency (whichever is applicable). I've studied with fantastic pianists Tom Lawton and Bruce Barth in my time at Temple and can only hope to pass on the knowledge to others!
*** Lesson Details ***
Lessons are very flexible depending on what you want to learn! I can teach basic piano for beginners. I can also dive into specifics of jazz music for more advanced students, or even jazz arranging and composition!
*** Studio Equipment ***
*** Specialties ***
Basic Piano, Jazz Piano, Jazz Composition/Arranging
Audition Prep, Bass Guitar, Ear Training, Music Performance, Music Theory, Upright Bass
I earned my master's degree in jazz studies from The University of the Arts. As adjunct professor of music at Lebanon Valley College, I teach double bass, bass guitar, jazz improvisation, and directs small-group jazz combos. Working with students of all ages, I also teach workshops, clinics, and master classes at high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools in Pennsylvania and Maryland, as well as keeping a private teaching studio out of my Bucks County home.
Lessons are available on upright bass, electric bass, improvisation, music theory, and ear training at all ability levels and all ages, from absolute beginners to high school students preparing for college auditions to adults. Some of my students have been accepted to various regional orchestras and jazz bands, and I'm very proud of their hard work.
While having an outlined curriculum to develop my students' technique, reading, and knowledge of theory, I cater to their interests by showing them how to apply what the are learning to the music that they already know and love.
"Steven is very professional and extremely helpful. He always has a smile on and is serious about helping you phrase the music. I would highly recommend him to anyone."
"It's been really exciting so far! Jordan has been so helpful, so knowledgeable. I could not have found a better instructor and I'm getting better and better every day."
"My daughter's wedding was weeks away and I had never been able to dance a step. With Jenny's help, I came further than ever before in such short time in any subject."

The Excellence is a great idea, but should be sized first to the space heating load and then for the domestic hot water service. Properly sized to showers, big tubs and the number of bedrooms, but good point on the incoming water temperature.
Looking at a TT Prestige Excellence 110 Boiler with integral 14 gal indirect fired tank.
The cold water temp here is about 70 degrees, so, the unit's capacity would exceed 5 GPM under some conditions.
Has anyone installed this unit for Domestic Hot Water use.
The site is a 3 BR home (2 elderly residents) with measured flow rates shown in units of Gallons per Minute.
MB Shower - 0.91 (new low flow head installed)
MB North Sink - 1.20
Kitchen Sink - 1.76
West BR Tub - 4.29
West BR Shower - 0.94 (new low flow head installed)
West BR Sink - 1.30
East BR Tub - 4.29
East BR Shower - 0.93 (new low flow head installed)
East BR Sink - 1.29
Our actual usage is minimal: about 2 showers per day, bathtubs not in use, front loading washer.
The Excellence is a great idea, but should be sized first to the space heating load and then for the domestic hot water service. Properly sized to showers, big tubs and the number of bedrooms, but good point on the incoming water temperature.
Does the boiler cold fire when needed, or does it maintain a minimum temperature all year long - I don't know on that unit? A conventional external indirect is easier to repair or replace if it ever fails, and, with the proper boiler, may be more ecconomical. A good indirect won't need the boiler to fire except after drawing hot from it, and if those draws are grouped around the morning shower, may only need to fire once during the day. If the boiler stays hot all the time, that's a waste of energy.

Important note - I'm not a pro

The Excellence is just that. Excellent. If it would fire at a lower minimum output and could be vented with 2 instead of 3" PVC -all that is really required- or with a nice concentric vent, I would install more of them, as they save space, fuel, improve comfort, are nearly silent in operation and save much in installation labor.
The built-in indirect water heater is perfect for a two shower home - no big tubs, but one standard tub - no problem. The indirect is built of stainless steel and will likely never leak. Built in circulator and Honeywell 3-way zone valve for domestic priority without the often unnecessary mandate for primary/secondary piping makes it one of my favorites for retrofit combi-systems.
Unfortunately, though the high efficiency condensing burner is nicely matched to the built-in indirect water heater, it is not necessarily the best match for every space heating application. I spend a full 50% of my time re-piping, changing radiation and controls for combi-heating systems that were designed by those without the necessary experience to assure the proper balance of both. In extreme cases entire boilers and water heaters have to be replaced with properly sized and piped systems.
I know I have said before, not a DIY project.
The addition of a tank vs. tank-less water heater has is it all over those Euro and Eastern rim tank-less water heaters of all kinds, as Americans do not live in 600sq.ft. nor take sponge baths at the sink. This unit will last longer, with less service and greater performance than any tank-less made today.
Sizing to the heating load - or building the load to the unit - is the key to success (perfect comfort and low fuel bills).

CONTACT: Katrina Gay
March 23, 2004, Portland, Maine—NAMI Maine and over 15 organizations released The State of the Mental Health System in Maine in the state's largest city today, as part of a national campaign to build community support for access to services and treatment for people with mental illness.
Nearly 35 thousand of Maine's over 1.3 million residents has a severe mental illness, yet most do not receive treatment.
"Every day, I see evidence of our neglect of people with mental illness—people who need housing, medications, and employment, not incarceration.," said Sheriff Dion of the Maine Sheriff's Association.
Advocates and experts will present report findings to legislators and other policymakers on the scope of the mental health crisis in Maine, and recommend solutions that are evidence-based, cost-effective, and safe.
The report chronicles the results of an ineffective, insufficient mental health services and foreshadows the consequences that would result if Governor Baldacci's plans to restrict access for Maine's citizens even further are implemented.
The report serves to launch the Campaign for the Mind of America in Maine, promoting smart choices with the broadest benefits—the greater awareness of the cost of untreated mental illness.
Nationwide, untreated mental illness costs the nation more than $100 billion annually from lost productivity and diverted resources. The Campaign is creating unique partnerships among different sectors on the front lines that deal with the crisis. In Maine, those joining include the Police Chief's Association, the Sheriff's Association, the Education Association, the American College of Emergency Room Physicians, and others.
"While cutting mental health services and treatments may result in short term budget savings, the long term impact of untreated mental disorders is much greater both in terms of cost and in human suffering," said Ken Duckworth, M.D., Medical Director of NAMI and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.
"Community leaders such as you emergency room doctors, your law enforcement officers, and your teachers know the impact," said Duckworth. "We all stand together."

The new site layout is finally done but I imagine I will be tweaking it for some time. We're doing a major overhaul of everything right now and hope to get the AnimeMetro community involved as well.
GundamWing.com and Escaflowne.com have been pointed to AnimeMetro.com. They are in need of a severe makeover at this point but they need to get back up in working shape soon.

Non-political and non-sectarian, we operate each year in more than 80 poor countries reaching more than 122 millions of people in need. CARE helps tackle underlying causes of poverty so that people can become self-sufficient. CARE is often one of the first agencies to deliver emergency aid to survivors of natural disasters and war and, once the immediate crisis is over, we help people rebuild their lives. While CARE is a large international organization with 12,000 employees worldwide, we have a strong local presence: 97% of our staff are nationals of the countries where our programmes are run.
Being founded in 2008 CARE in Luxembourg a.s.b.l. (CARE L) is one of the youngest members of the international CARE-family. To support the international coordinated fight against hunger and poverty in the most effective way CARE L concentrates on two areas of intervention: First, CARE L engages very quickly after a disaster has hit. In Pakistan and in Haiti our projects have been amongst the very first to contribute to the international response. In Haiti, only three days after the earthquake hit Port-au-Prince, distribution of drinking water for 30.000 people was operational and financed by CARE L.
Second, we engage in forgotten humanitarian crises. That is to say, that CARE L supports deliberately such disasters that are not mentioned in the media, which is why the international community often lack the means to respond. CARE L assists for example the world's largest refugee camps in Kenya and Soudan with education programmes, medical support and safe drinking water systems. We fight hunger and poverty in the remotest and poorest regions of Niger and Laos, where CARE is one of the very few NGOs active.
Our partners and donors, but above all, our beneficiaries, deserve that we use our funds in a way that serves effectively as many people in need as possible in a time when this help is most needed. Thank you for your support! Learn more about CARE L on www.care.lu

Pros – People are fun to work with and if your in with the right group of people and management you are good to go.
Cons – Managers treat employees like children and although say there is an open door policy there really is not one.
Advice to Senior Management – Treat team members with respect instead of treating them like children and make themselfs more accesable to the team members who greet the guests on the gaming floor.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

We need a 4th transmission in our 2001 Honda Odyssey
Posted by Snowwhite on 05/07/2007
GIG HARBOR, WASHINGTON -- After much research back in 2000, we purchased a 2001 Honda Odyssey Van. It was supposedly the best van, more reliable, best warranty, highest safety rating in it's class.
The long and the short of it; at 117,000 miles, we are in need of our 4th transmission. The original transmission died at 49,000 miles (the dealership, West Hills Honda in Bremerton) was great about securing a "new" transmission--turned out to be a rebuilt, but they also secured a 3rd transmission when #2 died at 81,000. I have no complaints with dealership----just their product!
However, the replacement on transmission #3 is not going as smoothly----the company that re-manufactures these (Howard Engineering in Los Angeles, CA) says they will let us buy a new or rebuild transmission at their cost. How nice--on a product that is obviously substandard anyway!
Our van has had issues with the emission system and brakes since month one. We have gone thru 6 sets of brakes ( no one can figure out why) the care shakes like it is ready to explode) and as of yesterday, the traction control system light came on---can someone shout "lemon" along with me???
We were seriously considering buying a Honda Pilot--however, when I went to the website for Howard Engineering, guess what came up as readily available? Transmissions for 2004,2005, 2006 Honda Pilots!! Aaacckk! I'm running fast and furiously away from that thought!
Honda, your Odyssey Vans are junk--I have several friends who own them as well and have similar problems. I think our van takes the lemon award for transmissions, tho.
I WISH we would have bought a Toyota that year.

I'd have sold it after the first transmission
Posted by dodgedart on 2007-05-07:
I hate hondas. they are the most overrated cars out there. you wish you had bought a toyota. I guess you don'tlike American autos.I will never buy one again. I think of the trade deficet with japan and their ability to make up stories so they won't import our goods. We can sell them rice for half of what they would pay for it but they rather have them consume local rice. their snow is different so they cannot import our skis.Also do you remember the downfall of our steel industry or the computer chip industry. They don'tplay fair and they would never buy anything we make because they think we are lazy. Just wondering if they are still having elephants killed for their ivory, and don't forget all the whales they slaughter every year.Thant you for supporting their economy.

Ditto: PirateWithParrot. Buy a big Ford truck like mine, you can push the broken down Honda's to the side of the road. Only probelm is the only thing it does not pass are gas stations.

I had a 2001 Accord that needed a tranny,It was done under warranty.They even gave me a rental for a week.
Posted by snowwhite on 2007-05-07:
I had to chuckle at the "I would have sold it after the 1st transmission...." comment, as this is exactly what I would've done after tranny #2! On the advice of a salesperson, no less! My hubby wasn't quite ready to sell---oh well!
Posted by snowwhite on 2007-05-07:
I agree with dodgedart--I hate Hondas--but that's about all we'll agree on! We do like American autos and we own two Mustangs and a Chevy Silverado. I think we've done our share to support the American economy! A vacation may be in order....with a large chill pill.

I have owned 4 Honda products and was their biggest fan to all that would listen. Now that I have nothing but problems with our Odyssey (transmission, many sensors), the dealer(Brantford Honda) and Honda Canada, I will never purchase one again. I will also tell of my terrible customer service issues with both Honda Canada and the dealer.
Posted by Dr Mechanic on 2008-06-15:
All cars break down, you just pay more for a Honda. It's better to buy domestic to support our workers. Yes Honda has plants here but they don't pay them 1/2 as much!
Posted by Pgh Zorro on 2011-11-03:
Our story is identical to yours. After much research, we bought a 2001 Honda Odyssey, the top choice by Consumer Reports. After approx. 20,000 miles, the transmission died. Honda repaired it and said it was "as good as new". I replied, "I hope so, because the original one only lasted 20,000 miles!" Transmission problems and excessive brake and tire wear were due to the '01 Odyssey being an extremely heavy vehicle and the transmission being too lightweight for the weight of the van. Honda extended the warranty and prior to extension expiring, started having transmission problems again and had dealership check it. They said it was fine and a few months later, the transmission went again. NOW, I am having problems with the emissions systems. I have never had an emission problem with any vehicle before my Honda. I had two Hondas, but now have a Scion and a Toyota. Have had problems with both Hondas. Have had no such problems with the Scion or the Toyota. We will NEVER buy a Honda again. THERE IS A REASON WHY THEY ONLY GIVE YOU A 3 YEAR/36,000 MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. IF HONDA WAS REALLY BUILDING QUALITY VEHICLES, IT WOULD NOT COST THEM ANYTHING TO GIVE THEIR BUYERS A LONGER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY! AS IT IS, THEY HAVE THE SHORTEST POWERTRAIN WARRANTY OF ANY CAR MAKER AND RIDICULOUSLY (AND FALSELY) CLAIM THAT THE REASON IS THAT THEIR VEHICLES DON'T REQUIRE A LONGER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY! HUH???

Honda brake problems
Posted by Angrypads on 01/08/2011
NORWOOD, MASSACHUSETTS -- I have a 2008 Honda Accord EXL with 30,000 miles on it. I noticed a squealing noise this week which was off and on. I called the dealer and they had me bring my car in to check it out. At the end of 2 hours I left with a $569 dollar bill which I REALLY feel is excessive . I am planning on trading this car in and going for a different make of car. I also spent almost $2,000 for an extended warranty which, at this time, has done nothing for me. I am so very disappointed in this particular vehicle and am sorry I ever bought it. I also wonder if there is a recall on Honda vehicles regarding problems with brakes? The only positive, which I am sorely looking for, is that I will never get another extended warranty and will probably not ever buy another Honda. There are many other fine automobiles out there and Honda has just lost a good friend in me

Brakes are a wear item, and not normally covered by any warranty of which I am aware.
It is hard to know if they took advantage of you without knowing what they replaced. I am very easy on my brakes - I put 130,000 miles on a car without doing the brakes, and they still had half their life left. Other people can go through a set of brakes in 20,000 miles...
Posted by Anonymous on 2011-01-08:
There are warranties that do cover brake wear, but do not cover the cost of additional components or labor required to restore the brake system to its former condition. The warranty generally only applies to shoes and pads. Chances are, you will end up paying if you bring the car in under warranty, as they will usually tell you whatever the issue is with your brakes is one that isn't covered.
Posted by bcd on 2011-01-08:
The $569 bill is not excessive if the rotors were replaced in addition to the brake pads. If only the pads were replaced, then that is an excessive bill.
Never take a car to a dealer for service that is not covered under warranty. A reliable brake and/or tire specialty shop will provide better service at a lower price.
Posted by angrypads on 2011-01-09:
The rotors were not replaced but they said shaved to fit the new pads. Thank you for the advice about not going to the dealer, it will be helpful in the future.
Posted by trmn8r on 2011-01-09:
Your rotors were turned and you got new pads, for $569. Yes, that is excessive.
On Ebay, I see OEM pads for $86 for 4 wheels. List price about $140. Last I remember, turning rotors is around $25. Let's say $250 for parts and turning. That leaves ($540-250)/90 = 3.5 hours labor. That is about right, but the labor for brake work is usually a lower rate than other mechanical work. But NOT at a stealer (: That is why it was so high.

2008 Honda LX-P
Posted by Heaton on 07/17/2009
TORRANCE, CALIFORNIA -- My Honda Accord, LX-P, which was purchased in June, 2008 is already giving me problems. The brakes had to be rebuilt at 18,000 miles! Front and rear discs had to be resurfaced and rear brake pads replaced. This was not covered by warranty because it is considered a wear factor. In my 69 years, I have had numerous cars and I have never had to make these repairs at such a low number of miles. It seems to me Honda has a real engineering problem and they need to address it.
I am very disappointed with this Accord. I chose the Honda over an Altima and Camry because I believed that it would give me trouble free service for many years.

A class action lawsuit is just going to make some lawyers rich. If you have the evidence that this is a common problem, contact the NHTSA in Washington, DC and let them know about it. If it's serious enough, they could initiate a recall. Good luck.
Posted by madconsumer on 2009-06-09:
is this the same review from the other day?
Posted by saj80 on 2009-06-09:
Hugh, there seem to be several complaints of this exact nature on this site, so there must be thousands more out there, and I do agree that class-actions are for lawyers only. mad, if it isn't the same review, then Honda has a serious issue they need to fix, both from a safety issue and a PR issue.
Posted by madconsumer on 2009-06-09:
brake wear can be caused by many reasons. from poor braking ability, to riding the brakes, to leaving the parking brake set while driving.
Posted by Disappointed w/Honda on 2009-07-08:
About 1 year after purchase and 26k miles on the 2008 Honda Accord, I had to have rear brake pads replaced and the rotors turned - cost over $200 from the dealership and was NOT covered by the warranty......
This was my first Honda purchase and will be my last.
I saw on other websites that possibly turning off the VSA (vehicle stability assist) when you don't really need it may help increase the life of those rear brake pads?? Any truth to this???
It is ridiculous and frustrating that the rear brake pads or rear brakes overall have a design flaw - either intentional or unintentional....... Rear brakes in any car should not have to be replaced every 15-20k miles like has been reported by so many 08 and 09 Accord owners!!!
Posted by Disappointed w/Honda on 2009-07-08:
For the skeptics out there, I point you to this website: http://www.carcomplaints.com/Honda/Accord/2008/brakes/premature_brake_wear-4.shtml
This problem does seem to transcend all geographic US locations (thus issues like road salt, dirt, rocks, climate, weather, etc would be negated), driving styles, etc. The problem is so wide spread that is almost certainly is a design flaw..........Most people know not to drive with their foot lightly on the pedal, drive with the parking brake even lightly applied, etc.... It has to be a design issue....

Civic Brakes - Premature Wear
Posted by Sygma on 05/11/2009
I'm sitting at the dealership and told that the squeeking sound I've been hearing at 9800 miles is that my brakes are worn out and need to be replaced! At cost of $265. This is very premature compared to other cars I've owned. I bought this car for low cost of ownership.
Now, I have to budget for brake replacement every 10,000 miles? This is not right. Honda needs to come clean on this.

Same thing on my 2011 Civic at 20K miles. Never had a non-warranty repair on my Toyotas and Nissans during the lease period. 1st and last Honda should have stayed with Toyota or Nissan
Posted by cookx581 on 2013-07-08:
same on my wifes civic at 30k miles the pads were gone, best advice I can give it to buy a aftermarket set of slotted rotors with matching pads. this should get you the 80k miles without service you want plus extra stopping power.

Honda Bad Rear Brakes
Posted by Rolo123 on 04/27/2009
My 2008 Honda accord had worn brake pads in the rear at 15000 miles. Honda knows of the problem and will not do anything. We need to unite to fight them.

Brake pads are considered wear items and generally aren't warranted by the automaker. 15K may or may not be that bad, depending on how someone drives.
Posted by tanyasue on 2009-10-16:
My Honda brakes have the same issue. I have 27k miles on them, and that is not acceptable. This is my 4th Honda, but I will not buy another. Any company that knows they have an issue and refuses to fix it is not worth giving my money to. In this economy it will come back to bite them.

Defective Brake Pads
Posted by Kd40 on 03/18/2009
PEMBROKE PINES -- I also I have had a problems with my brakes and had to have them replaced every 10,000 miles or so. I drive a new 2008 Honda accord. I was also told that it was new materials that were being used that caused the pad to wear out quickly and then I was told that the it was the way I was driving the car. I have owned other cars and have never had to replace pads like this. My front brakes are the brakes that came with the car and I have not had a problem with the front.
We need to file a class action suit. In reading complaints many other owners are having the same problem. Honda needs to fix the problem. Honda is aware and is doing nothing about it.
These cars are lemons file a suit with the lemon law.

A Brake Job That Will Break You
Posted by Thunderbyrd56 on 02/09/2009
WAYNE, NEW JERSEY -- I leased a new 2008 Honda last year. The car now has 25008 miles. When I took it in for 8th oil change, I was told I needed rear brakes. When I questioned the service manager about the need for brakes, he told me that Honda is now using smaller brake pads so that wear sooner. In fact, he assured me that 25000 is good since some owners had to replace brakes with as little has 15000 miles. Why does the consumer have to get less for their money.
Honda accord is not a cheap car. Brakes should last 40000 miles. What a rip off. Hmmmm I wonder what is next???

Posted by dan gordon on 2009-02-09:
if you drive mostly in the city you will of course go thru more brakes than if you drive 40 k freeway. Its unrealistic to expect a set amt of mileage out a pair of brake pads.
Posted by b5ster on 2009-02-09:
Is this complaint a joke on us? There is NO possible way that you need rear brakes at 25K miles! I could understand you needing front brakes....if you ride the brakes every mile of that 25kmiles...but needing rear brakes before fronts...That is impossible! I would call your Honda care representative (not the dealership!) and tell him or her exactly what happen to you at your dealership...NOW...YOU HAVE BEEN RIPPED OFF! I own a 2007 and a 2006 Accord and have over 50K miles on both...And both have over half of the FRONT brakes pads left...and about three quarters of the rear pads left..Which is about normal for this amount of miles.
Posted by madconsumer on 2009-02-09:
if the parking brake is engaged, it too will wear down the pads.
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-02-09:
Driving habits and destinations play a BIG part in the wearing down of the pads.
Posted by b5ster on 2009-02-09:
No Madconsumer, the parking brakes are a differant braking system. The parking brake consistes of a set of drum brakes with pads inside the rear rotors and has nothing to do with the pads that stop the car.
Posted by b5ster on 2009-02-09:
Posted by Aerocave on 2009-02-09:
25K miles is alot of miles in 1 year. b5ster: Not to disagree, but I think you are a little premature on the "rip off" comment. You don't know what kind of driving this particular person does...and actually 03-07 Accords have been known to go through rear brakes at lower mileage than in the past due to the nature of the braking system...if you got 50K you did good!
Posted by b5ster on 2009-02-09:
Aerocave, You are indead correct!
I just checked it out at a Honda forum and the new Honda's are in fact made to use the rear brakes more than previuse models. So yes your rear brakes can wear out before your front pads do!
Ah Sorry for the miss-information!
Also I geuss I am lucky to have as much life left on our Accord brakes as I mentioned above...from what I just read it is not normal! Maybe it does help to drive like a little old lady...and a little old man in our Accords!
Posted by Aerocave on 2009-02-10:
...at least it'll be a great story when you trade it! (You know, the old tried and true "little old lady drove it to church") ha ha

Medeski Martin & Wood
The trio's amalgam of jazz, funk, "avant-noise" and a million other musical currents is nearly impossible to classify, which is just how they like it. Medeski's keyboard excursions, Chris Wood's hard-charging bass lines and Billy Martin's supple, danceable beats have come to resemble a single organism, moving gracefully between genre-defying compositions and expansive improvisation atop a relentless groove. Medeski Martin & Wood have been on their musical adventure for two decades, but continue to write new music. Martin explains, "Musically, we're changing all the time," adding that the band is constantly improvising and surprising even themselves.
Genre: Jazz/Experimental
John Scofield's Uberjam Band
John Scofield's guitar work has influenced jazz since the late 1970's and is going strong today. Possessor of a very distinctive sound and stylistic diversity, Scofield is a masterful jazz improviser whose music generally falls somewhere between post-bop, funk edged jazz, and R & B. He has led his own groups in the international jazz scene, recorded over 30 albums as a leader, and continued to keep an open musical mind.
Genre: Jazz/Fusion

International Programs
The United States and Europe face similar environmental challenges, with many parallel economic, political and social concerns to be considered when addressing these challenges. As a result, the U.S. and Europe are natural partners in environmental protection, with common goals and complementary expertise. Working together to improve environmental protection and management, both Europe and the U.S. can achieve greater cost-savings and better environmental outcomes.
Within this broader context, EPA's relationship with our European counterparts strengthens U.S. policy, as well as our regulatory, scientific, and technical capabilities, to increase and enhance environmental protection. Consultations with European officials also can help avoid potential trade disputes which could arise from different environmental standards and regulations.
Renewal of EPA-EU ENERGY STAR Agreement
In January 2013, Administrator Lisa Jackson and European Union Energy Commissioner Günther Oettinger signed the second renewal of the U.S.-EU ENERGY STAR Agreement for office equipment which was initiated in 2001. The Agreement promotes use of a common voluntary label and a consistent set of performance standards for computers, monitors, printers, copiers, multi-function devices and servers in the United States and the European Union. This common approach will increase the global supply of and demand for energy-efficient office equipment and will help manufacturers avoid the burden of complying with multiple labeling programs. The renewed Agreement will last for 5 years and will extend through 2017.
Activities with Europe currently include:
- Energy Cooperation
- Chemicals Management
- Research, Information, and Technology
- Environmental Governance
- Cooperation with EU Member States
Key Partners
To achieve these goals, EPA works:
- bilaterally with the European Union (through the European Commission, the executive branch of the European Union, based in Brussels),
- bilaterally with key EU Member States, and
- in multilateral fora such as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the Regional Environmental Center (REC) for Central and Eastern Europe, and various United Nations organizations.
