Cat Poop Smells Bad Should I Change Foods
Cat poop smells rate right up there next to cat urine smells. And it's not a pretty site (smell I mean)! Stinky cat poop can be caused by any number of things, but many cat owners quite often overlook a very real culprit…………the cat food they are feeding. Cats, by nature, are protein creatures and they digest proteins very well.
Unfortunately though, many pet food manufacturers choose to add other "cheap" food sources to cat food as fillers which really aren't very healthy for your cat. Corn and corn meal are used extensively in many cat foods and that can definitely lead to some very "stinky" cat poop. Why?
Well, because cats are primarily protein eaters, and when they have to digest carbohydrates like corn, soy or wheat, it is very difficult. The results are bloating, gas, and large stinky poop! These filler carbohydrates they add to cat food actually ferment in the cat's digestive system. Not a good combination.
It's so important to read the label on the cat food you choose to feed your cat. Make sure it have mostly all protein and definitely no corn, wheat, soy or byproducts. There are high quality foods out there like Life's Abundance cat food for example, which is formulated by a holistic veterinarian, Dr Jane Bicks. These high protein cat foods do exist but it's up to you to do your due diligence and read your labels.
Stinky cat poop could also be caused by something else entirely, so be sure and check with your vet to rule out other issues. Just remember, if you decide to change cat foods, that you gradually switch your cat over by slowly introducing the new food with what they are already eating. Hopefully the change of food and a good cat litter, with do the trick and things will be smelling much better!

Donnellan makes peace with season-ending injury
Ex-captain still playing a part, writes Colm Keys
Every night Pat Donnellan has come to Clare training and done what he has been able to do.
Whether it has been gathering balls and putting down cones initially, to making a contribution at a team meeting, he wanted to feel like he was still part of it.
Eventually, as his knee continued to repair following cruciate ligament surgery for a rupture sustained in mid-January, that involvement graduated to gym work and movement out on the field.
If there is frustration at the reality that his year is over he hides it well and insists he has made his "peace" with it. The birth of his baby daughter Aoibhinn in recent weeks has helped to give him a new focus.
"Wallowing in self-pity is no good for anyone," he says. "I am lucky that I can still be part of it.
"It's what I always say when people ask me what does a fella do when he is No 40 on the panel and he knows that he won't play. It is always better to be looking out than looking in.
"Not being part of it on match day and not being able to play is a massive thing. But I made my peace with that when I got injured and I didn't get too down.
Clare's 2013 All-Ireland winning captain turned awkwardly on his knee during a challenge with All-Ireland club champions to be, Na Piarsaigh.
The support from management and playing colleagues has, he says, got him further down the road to recovery than he ordinarily might have been.
"The minute I got it the lads were on the phone, Fitzy and the management team to make sure you weren't getting isolated or to make sure you wouldn't be getting left out of things," he says.
"I probably don't realise how important it is because I have it. If I didn't have it, maybe I might be in a much worse position.
"I went from having a good pre-season, training well and everything going well with the new additions to the backroom team and everything positive to, within the space of a week, my year being over.
"I was just conscious that I didn't fall off a cliff at the end of it and go from doing loads of things to doing nothing.
"It frustrates you. There are definitely days when you are down, but once you are in the group, once I get to training and get onto a team bus and go to the game, you buy into what is going on."
Donnellan had the ligament reconstructed by hamstring tendon graft, the preferred procedure of the surgeon Tadhg O'Sullivan in Waterford as opposed to a patellar tendon graft, which his colleague Podge Collins underwent in Santry Sports Clinic.
He has firmly ruled out any involvement even for a potential All-Ireland final in three months' time, six-and-a-half months on from his operation.
"I'd be coming back in a time when the lads are at their peak, maybe getting up to an All-Ireland semi-final or final," he says. "For me, coming in having very little training done and to get up to their pace in two or three weeks, is probably not realistic. I took that out of my head from the very start."
He admits it's hard to reconcile that it's 18 years since Clare won a Munster hurling title.
"I am surprised in one way but in another way, they are hard to come by. I am playing 10 years now and we have come so far in those 10 years, in terms of our preparation and the way we are organised.
"And when you are looking back on things, maybe there was a reason we weren't as competitive back in those days because we weren't as prepared as we should have been - not for the lack of effort.
"Maybe we just weren't at the level we needed to be, even before we stepped out on the field."
The age of graduation has also changed dramatically.
"It is unusual for those players to step up so quickly," says Donnellan. "In years gone by, senior hurling was reserved for senior players whereas now, senior hurling is a young man's game and is directly related a lot more to minors and U-21s."
In his absence, Cian Dillon has taken to the sweeping role effectively but Donnellan says the system in place allows for anyone to step in.
"Cian is so well suited to that role. The way we train and the way we prepare, everyone is clued in to the roles we have to play," he says. "Some fellas are better suited to it, Cian and Davy Mac (McInerney), but the way things are laid out, it is fairly seamless that if one lad is out another can step in."

As a reader of Mums & Dads Magazine, I just thought I would drop you all an email to introduce ourselves. We are a small group of local mums who have recently formed a community group 'Friends of South Park' with the aim to improve the recreational, environmental and educational facilities of the park. In case you don't know, South Park is located on Grove Lane, Cheadle Hulme (between Manchester Rugby Club & the Pointing Dog).
The group was formed after I recently returned from living in Australia, where I found that their recreational facilities put ours to shame! Having grown up frequenting South Park, I was really upset to see the lack of investment over the years and couldn't believe it's still home to the same play equipment I used some 30 years ago! So when I returned to the UK earlier this year, I wrote to the council regarding the state of parks, especially South Park and was amazed to find out they have no legal obligation to maintain or even provide parks and green space and often rely on community groups for much needed support.
We have already formed a committee but need more help. We are currently scoping out the project, but the park needs a lot of attention and realistically will be a 3 year plan. Our primary aim is to improve the play area facilities but there is plenty more that can be done too. There will be task days, fundraising events etc…..So if you are interested in helping us, get in touch or simply show your support and keep up to date on developments and events by liking us on Facebook www.facebook.com/friendsofsouthparkcheadlehulme
Also…..Did you know South Park was formally Camp 'A' the Communal Site of RAF Handforth? If you have any information regarding the history, please get in touch as we are keen to integrate this into the park redevelopment.
At the moment they are preparing Easter Fair, April 13


text: Bring Back the Los Angeles Rams was founded on November 13, 2009 by Andrew Hogan, an Orange County native and then-student (now alumnus) at the University of California, Berkeley, made a bold step. Though he had only been a preschooler when the team had departed, he had grown up on stories about the great L.A. Rams teams and players. Inspired by those memories passed down to him, Hogan created Bring Back the Los Angeles Rams on Facebook: at first, the page was only a modest forum for Los Angeles Rams fans to get together and share memories as well as speculate about the team's future, but it would soon grow into much more than that. A Letter from the Founder Joining in to help run the page came twin brothers Tom and Dennis Bateman, who had created the Twitter account @losangelesrams. Both Orange County natives who grew up in Anaheim in equal distance between the Rams' training camp at Cal State Fullerton and playing field at The Big A, Tom, with expertise at organizing people and events and Dennis, who had spent years covering sports in Southern California, utilized social media to build up support. By February of 2010, Bring Back the Los Angeles Rams reached 1,000 fans. By May, there were 2,000. But that same month, the fledgling Return to L.A. movement was almost cut down just as it had started: Shahid Khan, a wealthy auto parts businessman with strong roots in the Midwest, signed an agreement to purchase the Rams from Frontiere's children, and signaled his intent to keep the Rams in St. Louis. But fortunes shifted quickly in April, when minority owner Stan Kroenke exercised his right of first refusal and committed to purchasing the team. While Kroenke is a Missouri native, most of his ties are to Denver (his family owns the NBA's Denver Nuggets and NHL's Colorado Avalanche) and he has moved aggressively to expand his sports holdings with a clear intention of not only creating national, but worldwide brands. In 2011, Kroenke became majority shareholder in Arsenal Football Club, one of the most prestigious franchises in the English Premier League. A year later, Kroenke was one of three finalists in the bidding war for the Los Angeles Dodgers. In addition, he was one of the major investors in Major League Soccer, purchasing the expansion Colorado Rapids from MLS founder Phillip Anschutz. The first Bring Back the Los Angeles Rams rally in Anaheim, Calif. A few months after Bring Back the Los Angeles Rams doubled in size to 2,000 in May 2010, Anschutz's company, AEG, first announced plans to build an NFL-quality facility in downtown Los Angeles. Later dubbed Farmers Field, it seemed a tall order in the wake of many similar plans that had come and gone since the Rams had first moved out of the city following the 1979 season. But AEG, led by vice president Tim Leiweke, were aggressive in their push to get through the red tape which had stifled previous endeavors. The Farmers Field proposal joined another ambitious project, Los Angeles Stadium, to be developed in the City of Industry by billionaire Ed Roski as the first serious attempts at creating an NFL-quality stadium venue in Southern California. It was at this time that Bring Back the Los Angeles Rams made its first public forays. Several supporters came to an open forum on Farmers Field in West L.A. There, a meeting with ESPN Radio host Steve Mason led to an appearance by Dennis Bateman on the Mason & Ireland Show in June 2011. New fans, who had not realized that the Rams could indeed be returning to Los Angeles, signed up in droves, pushing membership of BBTLAR past the 3,000 mark. Even more importantly, Bring Back the Los Angeles Rams began to work closely with the official Rams booster clubs that exist in the area, including the Southern California Rams Booster Club, Ram Central Orange County, and later Rams World Order. Together, they joined forces for a rally in August 2011 at J.T. Schmid's in Anaheim to watch Ram greats Marshall Faulk and Les Richter be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Joining in the celebration were former Ram greats Mike Lansford, Ron Brown, Greg Bell, and Robert Delpino, as well as by St. Louis Ram Mike Horan, who was born and raised in Southern California. BBTLAR also co-hosted a pair of book signing events for Hall of Famer Jack Youngblood. By the end of 2011, Bring Back the Los Angeles Rams' ranks had swelled beyond 4,000. Writer? Volunteer to Join the Team Steady growth continued up to 5,000 by May of 2012, as BBTLAR took its case to the Los Angeles sports fanbase. Whether cheering on the Lakers and Clippers during the NBA playoffs, making appearances at the L.A. Kings' Stanley Cup celebration rally and the Anaheim Ducks, or seeing the Freeway Series clash between the Angels and Dodgers, reaction has been overwhelmingly positive both from older fans nostalgic about the great days of Rams teams past as well as the younger generation that has been deprived of NFL football in their hometown. Meanwhile, the Farmers Field project moved towards a final vote, and with dozens of Bring Back the Los Angeles Rams supporters filling the L.A. City Council chambers on September 28, 2012, the council members (including current L.A. mayor Eric Garcetti) voted unanimously to approve the project, pending the signing of a long-term lease. Also, during the council meeting, BBTLAR surpassed 6,000 fans. Bring Back the Los Angeles Rams in full force at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, Calif. Fans of both USC and UCLA football may not agree on much, but both have been enthusiastic in backing a Rams return as BBTLAR made regular appearances at the Trojans' and Bruins' spring games, as well as flying the Bring Back the Los Angeles Rams' banner high during ESPN College Gameday's appearances outside the Rams' former home at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum. At the end of the 2012 NFL season, 8,000 had rallied to our cause. Even during the offseason, as Bring Back the Los Angeles Rams continued to inform its followers of the latest stadium-related developments in both L.A. and in St. Louis on Facebook and Twitter, and continuing its campaign at L.A. and Southern California sports events, the ranks continued to swell, with over 3,000 more joining up by the start of the 2013 football season. On September 17, BBTLAR added its 12,000th fan, and had in the process surpassed Farmers Field as the largest and most active Facebook page advocating the NFL's return to Los Angeles. It would have been enough for some to simply rest on that laurel. But the movement to Bring Back the Los Angeles Rams could no longer be stopped, as it has continued to captivate the hearts of the Southern California sports scene. In just six days, BBTLAR added a thousand new fans to reach 13,000. Just five days later, it was 14,000. By the beginning of November, 2013, those numbers had improved to 17,000. The 20,000-fan mark was surpassed by mid-December, and on New Year's Eve, 2,000 more were added to the Bring Back the L.A. Rams' ranks. Even in 2014, the Rams to Los Angeles movement continued to surge with its biggest month ever. More than 3,000 more had freely signed up by the end of January, when Rams owner Stan Kroenke sent shockwaves throughout the league when it was revealed that one of his holding companies had purchased a 60-acre plot of prime real estate in Inglewood between the historic Forum and the recently-closed Hollywood Park. That last surge carried us over 26,000 by Super Bowl XLVIII. Bring Back the Los Angeles Rams rallying outside of the LA Coliseum before the NFL relocation vote. Just before Super Bowl XLIX the battle for the Rams will be reaching its breaking point: the Kroenke Group announced its intent to build an 80,000 seat stadium on the site of the former Hollywood Park Racetrack. Shortly after, the San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders announced a plan of their own to build a stadium in nearby Carson. While the Carson site had a significant amount of media attention driven by Chargers frontman Mark Fabiani's spin machine, those in Inglewood kept plugging away behind the scenes to put together a project that the NFL owners could not refuse. On February 24, 2015 the Inglewood City Council voted unanimously to approve the rezoning of the land at Hollywood Park for an NFL stadium and at that point, the countdown to the Los Angeles Rams began. Throughout the year there was a great amount of spin and misinformation coming from the Carson camp, but the Los Angeles Ram faithful knew that the Inglewood site would prevail in the end. On January 4, 2016 the Rams announced that they had filed for relocation and shortly after that, on January 12, 2016—70 years after the Rams' initial move to Los Angeles was approved—the NFL ownership gave their consent to the Mr. Kroenke's relocation request and at that moment the Los Angeles Rams were reborn. Fearsome Football exists because of the passion of Rams fans in Los Angeles and the strength of the Bring Back the Los Angeles Rams movement. It was that kind of love and support that made the Los Angeles Rams the NFL's premier franchise. Now that the Rams have returned, the real work begins. We are dedicated to keeping you informed of all the comings and goings of the Rams organization and seeing the Los Angeles Rams regain its spot as the premier professional sports franchise in Southern California.

|The Rolling Stones – Memo From Turner Lyrics
|2 years ago
It was made in 1968, but release was delayed until 1970 by movie execs shocked and concerned about how the public would react to this graphic essay in sex, drugs, rock and roll and violence, Complicating matters, throughout the 1969 US tour, the Stones had become a magnet for the tabloid press culminating in the Altamont speedway incident in December 1969.
There's never really a good time to release a film like Performance. It is a film about identity, what we choose to show, what's behind the masks we wear and what happens when we lose control. Mick as Turner shows the ways in which it can be exploited in both directions.
(the song video music track, as I understand, features Jagger, Ry Cooder on slide guitar, Russ Titelman (guitar), Randy Newman (piano), Jerry Scheff (bass) and Gene Parsons (drums) The best version of it, in my opinion, appears on the Stones' "London Years" retrospective. It may be one of the most amazing things ever recorded)
We are seeing Turner after he has "traded places" with an underworld mobster. In the context of the film, Turner is an aging rockstar, whose lifestyle was consumed by excess and he is attracted to the idea of playing the part of a mobster, who has far more prosaic reasons to need to disappear into another identity; that of an aging rockstar hermit in hiding from the press. Mick's clean cut, suit-wearing Turner now realizes that the underworld of crime, like politics and show business, is populated with people very much like him, except his awareness of their secret backgrounds and his willingness to use it as a means of control gives him incredible power, out of the reach of anybody who has anything to hide.
Remember, this film was shot in 1968, not long after the release of Sgt Pepper's, and it was that world Mick had in mind. Where at a club like "Sammies", while "eating eggs" one might see underworld figures, politicians, actors, musicians and even perhaps, Brian Epstein, rubbing shoulders.
Turner surveys his new cohort, and one by one confronts them with his knowledge of their past. The second stanza refers to Rampton, a psychiatric hospital, where Turner is apparently aware the man in front of him was once a patient who killed a doctor. In those days, the field of psychiatry in England was bigotedly referred by the underclass to as a "Jewish" profession and the reference to "sleeveless shirt" carries double meaning as both a straitjacket and the actual sleeveless shirt worn on sabbath by orthodox observers of the Jewish faith.
"Come now, Gentlemen..." He mocks the straight laced and upstanding members of society they have apparently become. He snarls in to the climactic "set your business STRAIGHT", sarcastically suggesting they have covered their own homosexuality and violent deviance into normal and straight looking executive "skins".
He confronts the smaller sticked man from Hemlock Road, a reference to a rest stop location on the road from London to Oxford notorious for casual encounters. Hemlock Road also doubles for a reference to Socrates, whose refusal to deny his sexual identity led to suicide by Hemlock, and also the historical relationship of academia with homosexuality in a general sense.
From here, I think the poster MikeyMike111's comments are right on point, and rather than paraphrase, I'll quote:
"The dominant theme is, of course, one of homosexuality. I think it may be the first time in popular culture where gayness is linked not with effeminacy but with an overt masculine sexuality. For examply the same year that Performance was released The Boys in the Band showed us a selection of campy self-hating drama queens. Also the line "the young girls eat their mother's meat from tubes of plasticon" is the kind of queasily sexual/violent image you'd find in William Burroughs. Also, just remembered that there is indeed a Burrough's book called The Soft Machine.
I suppose the song, and the film Performance, were informed at some level by the fact of Reggie Kray's sexuality and the fact that an incredibly masculine (in fact psychotic) man could be gay."
The only think I really can add to that is the theme transcends homosexuality in important ways in addition to those accurate points. Consider this stanza:
Be wary of these my gentle friends
Of all the skins you breed
They have a tasty habit
They eat the hands that bleed
Turner expresses a total ambivalence as to whatever their deviance does: Sex, Drugs, Violence. He doesn't care, won't judge, and will in fact participate if it's "wrong" enough. Turner will make you take your clothes off and have sex with him just to assert his dominance, and create something that can be used to control you. He tells them "Just make a face and an identity where the need to gratify your urges can't also be your undoing if you are exposed." Ironically, being a rock star, where deviance is in fact expected of a public personality, would be a better cover for these "misbred grey executives."
My main point is that Turner's moral ambivalence goes far beyond any simple "it's about gay" interpretation, and extends to all forms of social identities as somehow being crude coverings for the dark primal secrets we all keep inside. The urges are not just sexual. I don't want to freak you guys out but I'll leave you with this: the "Rosie" and "Baby's Dead" lines in the last stanza refer to book Rosemary's Baby (movie also made in '68). Yeah. So if Rosemary's baby is dead and they all work for him, who is he? Yep. Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste...
|Beck – Broken Train Lyrics
|2 years ago
Beck has developed an internal vocabulary to his work, and he invites us to experience the whole song, not just the lyrics. I think this song is a major statement of Beck's beliefs, and an example of a completely successful song, one of his best, and among his most political. It's over 15 years old now, and I daresay our situation has actually declined, and if he ever sequeled the song, I believe pt.II would sound much darker.
The snipers are passed out in the bushes in a society where even the government agents of control don't even give a shit about professionalism. The riots must be a common event at this point, so Beck notes his advantage at having his suits cleaned, expressing the same blase indifference to current affairs or social conflict.
Within this world, we are presented with mechanical metaphors and the sounds of urban inertia and labor in the music itself. The broken train is the Orwellian dystopia that Beck suggests is already here, close by, or coming soon. It is world of contrast between rich and poor, billionaires and breadlines, crystal tiaras and grey rivieras, etc.
The song opens with an intoxicating rhythm recalling for me Working In The Coal Mine, by Alan Toussaint, a song about the sufferings of a working class man too exhausted to able to enjoy his free time. Devo covered the song in '81, their electronic style finding the same pick on stone drum beat a versatile carrier for their social commentary as well.
A synthesizer overlay has a twilight zone feel, suggesting to us we are entering a different world much in the way the wavy effect recalls a flashback memory in visual terms. As the whole thing just maintains it's perfect synch inexorably marching forward, what sounds to me like a baritone sax, comes in with a G, doubling down on the synths ascending triad, then a defeatist whaaaaaaah: a crass response to the ethereal synth. To me it sounds like a truck hitting its horn and downshifting while stuck in traffic. The background din surrounds us with the clinking of construction. Hold On! I don't know if I want to ride your train Beck!
Beck gives us a wink, In this song the voice of the speaker is that of an intelligence "advisor" to a client state in the midst of adopting US methods of societal control and repression. It is a post Orwellian fascist client state which trades exploitation of their subjects and country's resources, for political backing and financial military aid. Dollar Diplomacy. It suggests the apathy of a society that is overwhelmingly "have not", controlled by a minority of "haves." "Cause there's only rehashed faces on the bread line tonight Soon you'll be a figment of some infamous life" suggests that there is no real rehabilitation in this society, only the purgatory of death row by apparent free will for those who fail to conform.
Billionaires smile like weapons passing out platinum pensions They're out of control No one know how low they'll go is self explanatory. Beck is looking back at his own "controllers". military and intelligence bigwigs peddling aid packages to countries and corporations with which they will buy weapons and self-enrich themselves, while using the weapons to enforce the police state that maintains their power over an enslaved populace.
Beck invites us to take a ride on this train. "What are you suggesting, Mr. Beck? Right here in the US? OMG. Are we that apathetic to ever allow that? That harmonica reminds me of a hobo music from the economically ravaged south and west of the dust bowl and great depression.
The next stanza is somewhat difficult, but IMHO: These bra burning deportees At the service station They know that beige Is the color of resignation.
This is a society that exiles any social activists that confront issues of gender equality. In a functioning democracy, the parts contribute like a mosaic of separateness and dissent. In this society women's issues have to do with breeding. Beige is what you get when you blend Black, White, Red and Yellow, and turn it into an institutional monochrome. I think this reading really calls attention to what Beck may be referring to as a service station. Allow feminism, but insofar it doesn't interfere with their purpose of breeding: producing the beige uniconsumers of the future in their womb factories. Wanna burn your bra (i.e.: advocate feminism or homosexuality and express you freedom of speech or non-violent protest)? GTFO. Deportee.
The last stanza has to do with the ease with which people of subsistence means can be exploited to gratify their oppressors' appetites. He is so blase that he comes right out and blows his own cover, knowing they don't care, nor is there any possibility of any counterintelligence threat. He is only trolling, hoping some girl might find it exciting enough to throw him a lay. After all, what is he there for anyway? Isn't he a cowboy? Sound's better than shepherd.
Zip code is another one of those metaphors linking economic and social codes with geographic zones like ghettos, and calling attention to the many and various ironies and contradictions that the extreme inequity of the society imposes through stereotyping and environmental racism.
|Steely Dan – Rikki Don't Lose That Number Lyrics
|4 years ago
Rikki Ducornet may believe that Fagen wrote it to her, but Fagen denies/ won't confirm, and frankly it makes little sense.
"I have a friend in town (with a reference to Clapton in the next line)- He's heard your name"
Now I've been to Annandale, and the idea that somebody famous or otherwise could be in town that had heard the name of a Bard professor's knocked up/ shotgun wed daughter in 1968/69 is just ridiculous.
Town obviously refers to NYC, where Becker and were after Bard from June 1969. From Becker and Fagen's writings about the sheer desperation of their early years, they wouldn't have held back on a potential commercial success, and thus it's hard to believe that they would sit on this song while releasing "Can't buy a Thrill" and "Countdown to Ecstasy". So it was likely written in 1973 in the form that was recorded on "Pretzel Logic" and the song likely refers to experiences that likely took place in 1971 or 1972.
Rikki D had been living in France for almost 4 years when RDLTN was released. The only reference to Rikki D being THE Rikki comes from Rikki D in an Entertainment Tonight segment. At a time when she just divorced, moved back to the states and started a writing/teaching career. In other words, she had a motive and a convenient background story, to use her old friend's fame to give her a boost. Fagen was probably like: "yeah, whatever"....
It's time to let this go as a dead end meaning for this song.
Also, the underlying theme of the gay seduction of a straight guy is just so there and in your face that it's really hard to imagine this written in a hetero context. Maybe it's me but I just can't hear the song and not pick up on it.
I'm already on record- the song is to Rick Nelson, written in 1972.
|Steely Dan – Rikki Don't Lose That Number Lyrics
|5 years ago
I feel this song is written to Rick Nelson in the wake of the "Garden Party" fiasco. "we hear you're leaving, that's ok" Rick had come to New York, where Fagen and Becker were still just starting out and Fagen was part of the drug culture that was the scene at the time. The garden party saw Rick N debut a new style, a departure from his previous pop confections, and he was booed off the stage (or so he thought- look it up).
He walked off the stage in the middle of his set, and withdrew from public life for two years, until he came out with his song- Garden Party- where he relates his feelings about the incident succinctly: "you can't please everyone, so ya got please yourself"
Fagen thinks Nelson (who he's got a mancrush on), will leave the music scene forever. He will never be able to finish making his play for Rick. The number is Fagen's phone number. I have a friend into town refers to Eric Clapton. We can go driving on slowhand road means we can get together and Jam with Eric and maybe work on developing a newer sound in the studio at CBS. If you have a change of heart means, if you decide to come back to music and the scene, etc.
|Oasis – Wonderwall Lyrics
|5 years ago
Wonderwall is one of Noel Gallagher's most important and personal songs, and his evasiveness over the years in explaining it (the right of any artist, imho), exposes the song to a lot of interpretations. Despite what he said, Noel did indeed write this song to a real person: Paul McCartney, but it was the friendship at that point in his life that was imaginary, not the person. The film "Wonderwall", which I will discuss shortly, gave him the pretext at a superficial meaning of speaking about Meg, his wife at the time. But the only way you could conclude it was written to her is if you didn't understand what "wonderwall" really means, or the context of Oasis in '93 being heralded as the next Beatles, or Noel being placed in the Paul McCartney typecast alongside Liam cast as Lennon. The song was written prior to Noel and Paul becoming well acquainted and having a real relationship, as happened throughout the mid-late 1990's. At this early stage Paul was Noel's wonderwall in fantasy and he sensed that Paul's experience with fame and Lennon and the conflicts and ennui that played out served as a model for the identity crisis that he was facing after the hugely successful Definitely Maybe album and the stormy relationship with Liam in his own life.
The Movie, "Wonderwall" (1968) is about an aging, absent-minded biologist named Collins who has spent a lifetime peering through the small aperture of a microscope. Then, a young model named Penny Lane moves in next door. One night he sees a ray of light coming from the wall in his darkened flat and discovers a peephole into which he can observe Penny's apartment. Peering through this aperture opens a completely fantastic and alien world of sex, drugs, psychedelia, and of course Penny naked. Collins gradually withdraws further and further into the wonderwall; or perhaps with a different perspective, allows his mind to expand into this new universe untethered by "ego" or "reality". As he begins to drill more peepholes, and his observations become increasingly more fantastic and psychedelic. The act of observing another life unobserved by the subject (similar to the relationship of artists to their fans) has become transformational- it's not really just about his love interest in Penny anymore- the wonderwall opens up an entirely new reality where none of the banality or limitation of actual life applies.
Noel's wonderwall is music, and his Penny Lane is Paul McCartney. He has spent his whole life peering into the light coming through the aperture of media- his observations of his hero living a public life. Through music Noel is having an imaginary dialogue with Paul. The relationship of the speakers is that of mentor/role model and student. Noel is struggling internally with the idea that songwriting and performance has nothing to do with artistic authenticity- it's just acting and burlesque to the Collins' of the world- the word on the street. Noel wishes Paul would respond to criticism of his later work by producing new great material but that's a bit ironic if satisfying the masses means being inauthentic to one's artistic self.
(There is also another subtext I've heard that Noel may believe that Paul is actually William Campbell, and that it's time to come clean about it, but that's another thing entirely, and if true, it still fits with the song as laid out here. I don't really have a comment on PID theories)
Noel is living in both worlds right at the time of the songwriting: like Collins did at his wonderwall- and Noel feels himself being drawn into the same vortex of alternate reality now that he has been crowned "the next Paul", and he's scared he'll follow Paul's road. He's met the real Paul, and so he has to square his fantasy version to a new reality- one which ultimately will help him define his own artistic identity. But the dialogue from Noel's perspective is still internal- the Paul inside his head is not the real Paul.
The dialogue's subtext is that of disenchantment. You can almost hear Noel saying "Paul, you're the greatest singer songwriter of the 20th century and it's been 25 years since you put out a decent album. Buck up man, because people are saying you're soft, and I'm afraid if I follow your steps I'll get the same. But ultimately if it's a road I must follow, maybe by continuing to place my faith I'll ultimately save myself from what happened to you and John. If I go off the path now, I'm lost: since everything I am, I learned from you peering through the Wonderwall.

Up until a couple years ago, Peter Ng was the only member of his Fantasy Football league still mailing a check to the commissioner each season. The 30-year-old financial advisor from San Francisco had tried out a few online payment systems in the past, but never found anything he thought was too friendly. That is until his friends told him about Venmo.
"Finally, they were like, 'Hey, you have to get on Venmo. Everyone else in the league is doing it, and it's just easier,'" says Ng.
Ng admits at first he was a bit hesitant to use the mobile payment system.
"It's basically a text message with money, right?" says Ng. "But all the young guys in the office were doing it, so I took a leap of faith."
Now, Ng is one of many millennials using Venmo on a weekly or daily basis—and the only thing he uses his checkbook for is his HOA fees.
"Out here in San Francisco, I feel like Venmo is very institutionalized. I mean, to the extent that it's a verb—'to Venmo someone,'" says Ng. "It's hard for me to imagine something else replacing it or something else being easier."
Launched in 2012, Venmo is one of several free apps that allow users to pay other users instantly through their smartphones (others include PayPal, Google Wallet and Square Cash).
To use the service, you download the Venmo app, create a username and password, and connect it to a bank account or a debit or credit card. You then can send money to or request money from other Venmo users, whom the app makes easy for you to find by pulling in your friends from Facebook and your phone contacts.
With every Venmo transaction, you have the option to share news of the payment with your friends on Venmo and the community of Venmo users worldwide. They'll see, for example, if you just split dinner at an awesome new restaurant or paid someone back for an epic concert—and they can "like" and comment on it in their newsfeeds.
For many users, this social component unique to Venmo makes the payment process more fun. These days, we share everything with everyone—why not our finances? For others, however, it makes them uneasy.
Matt Meier is one of many Millennials using VenMo.
"I've had someone pay me for lunch and then a friend of that friend 'liked' that transaction, and I was like, 'I don't like that. It really weirds me out,'" says Matt Meier, a 28-year-old creative director and graphic designer from Denver. "I always set my transactions to only [be shared] between the participants of the transaction."
Meier primarily uses Venmo to divvy up rent and utilities between him and his three roommates.
"I just forward them the utility bills that I get via email and say, 'Your portion is $8, your portion is $25,' and then they're very good about paying me right away," says Meier.
Meier says he's had roommates in the past who weren't paying rent, or roommates on the other end of the spectrum—those who kept "exponential spreadsheets" detailing who owed whom what.
"I had a roommate in college who was a spreadsheet queen," says Meier.
Beyond living expenses, Meier also uses Venmo for entertainment. Everyone in his circle of friends uses the app, and they often pull it out to split the cost of group activities.
"If we go to the movies, someone will pay the bill instead of waiting in line and everyone taking their turn to get their ticket," says Meier. "And the same thing with concert tickets because of the transaction fees. It's easier if one person fronts it, and we all kind of contribute that way."
Ng uses Venmo similarly with his friends—whether he's splitting season tickets to the Golden State Warriors or organizing a bachelor party for a group of people, some of whom he doesn't know. Ng says Venmo is especially helpful for transactions with younger co-workers and friends.
"If you go out for dinner or drinks at a bar and foot the bill for someone who's in their early 20s, I feel like you're probably not going to be paid back unless you have Venmo," says Ng.
Ng and Meier both say that in several years of using Venmo, they've never experienced any security issues. They both password-protect their phones, and they only use the app with people they know.
"I'm not too concerned about fraud as much as forgetting to input the decimal point in the right place," says Ng. "It's so easy to send and receive money back and forth, that on a couple occasions I've had to catch myself, 'Oh wait, got to put in the decimal point.'"
However, there have been reports of Venmo users being hacked, like in this story from Slate magazine. It details how one user had his account compromised and debited for a $2,850 payment to someone he didn't know. Although the user eventually got his money back from his bank, it took him numerous phone calls and emails to resolve the situation.
As with any mobile financial app, it's important to take precautions to protect your money and information.

So I promised I would sew last night, and did I? No.
But I did go shopping and buy more fabric!! Yay!! No really, I put myself on a ban but a friend asked me to go with her to Spotlight, and once I was there it was impossible to resist! So it's completely not my fault.
I've taken fabulous photos of what I bought, but can't upload them to the computer at the moment so you'll have to wait with patience for that. In a nutshell I have been re-inspired for my sisters quilt. That's right, I'm giving up on Lashings of Positivity (or perhaps giving up on it being for N is a better way to say it because I still plan on quilting it and finishing it up, it's just not right for her).
Today I have had to stay home from work because we have some lovely young men installing solar panels on our roof. Also breaking our roof. One of the guys slipped and put his foot through my ceiling. Don't believe me??? Check it out!
But the point is I have been home all day, very unexpectedly, so I have, not sewn (they're working with electrics!) but cut. And planned. And I have two projects I am flitting between today. The first is Mia's quilt, which I posted about the other day. I have been adding to the layout, I want to get it up to single bed size. I think I need more squares...
And I have started cutting out little blue bricks. I quite like this and if it ends up the way I think it will I know a good home for it to go to. I know several! But I have one in mind. It's the little butterflies that I love most.
Anyway, must get back to it! With a little luck these men will be off soon and I can turn on my machine.

Thanks for using my stock
Very nice
Wow, that's an amazing model!
I looked at his face and thought there are few that look so androgynous imo. I simply had to do a dev with him!
OOOOoooo Cat,.. I love the BG, too.. And the eyes!! Great Job!
Thank you luv! I wasn't quite sure what background would go well with his figure, seems it went down well
Nicely done, my dear.
Love the concept and how the art flows! Keep up the great work!
Thank you for the appreciation I hesitated putting the wing even in transparency but it still fits I think.
It does fit, for it makes the whole picture just work together by completing the color scheme.
I tried it more solid looking and it spoiled and blocked the whole comp and thought after....why not just suggest it in a motion blur and make it look like an ethereal flutter like any angel should look really imo. Thanks luv! Glad you enjoy the view!


text: I own a 1999 tdi and I am having some temperature problems with it. It wont warm up no matter how far I drive or what strain I put the engine under the gauge still stays on 60 and doesnt move, the fan has also never come on. I have replaced the thermostat with a proper Audi one and sealed it properly etc and it made no difference. I dont think it is the temperature sender as the water temperature in the expansion bottle is below 60 degrees and you can wiggle your finger in there fine even after a long drive, it almost seems as if the engine is over cooling? The heaters do warm up a bit and will warm the cab but they are nowhere near as warm as they were on the S3 I owned previously. Pretty stuck with this and dont know where to go next it still delivers good economy at ~47mpg but I want it fixed! Any help please?!

I switched to EPing with DD after about 2 weeks of struggling with BFing. I plan to BF and pump this time if things work out better. I built a killer supply with EPing and was able to store a ton. By the time she was 8 mos old, I had the next 4 months in the freezer. The big thing to being able to stash pumping is doing it at regular intervals for consistent lengths of time. When I first started pumping, I barely got anything. I kept at it and pumped every two hours for a couple of weeks until I started getting more. Over the 8 mos, I pumped 8-10 times a day for 20 mins each time. Bc of my job, I worked in 1.5-3 hour session (depending on the kid I was working with) and pumped in the car while I drove from one session to another. I kept a cooler in my car. I pumped into bottles and transferred to bags when I got home.
One thing I read about storing milk is not to put fresh milk on top of frozen b/c you don't want it to melt and refreeze. Once it is thawed, it should be used. So If you don't have enough to freeze, store in the fridge, cool the fresh, and add cold to cold and freeze when you have enough, if that makes sense.
Being diligent about my pumping schedule allowed me to make sure DD got all breast milk and no formula for the first year. At the beginning, I met several times with a lactation consultant. She told me that BFing and pumping don't operate on the same milk ducts, so you should be able to both BF and pump to store milk for when you go back to work. Like PP mentioned tho, you don't want to try to pump colostrum. It's too thick. Wait until you're really having milk. And you may want to wait to intro the bottle to establish BFing. I have read conflicting info, all from reputable sources on this, but I figure it can't hurt to establish BFing first, just in case.
Being able to pump for work is a God-send. But it does take a lot of work. There is no reason tho that you should be able to both BF and pump if it works for your baby. (The BFing didn't work for DD despite my best efforts and working with a lactation consultant. Hoping for better luck this time!)

I Hate - Poem by Josh Sternberg
I hate the ways
Cold weather stays
Longer than it should
I hate candy
At Halloween
That tastes and smells like wood
I hate Republicans
And Democrats as well
And I hate Indian food
And the way it makes you smell
I hate crappy drivers and
How they break the laws
I hate cats and how they shed
And how they use their claws
I hate eggs when overcooked
And the smell of pee
Or when I get overlooked
At the DMV
I hate the things that I've done
To get money or drugs
I hate how much conscience feels
Slimy like a million slugs
I hate what I have become
And what I see in the mirror
I hate I can't see this all
My vision should be clearer
I hate how I lie to myself
To make it not as hard
To feel the pain that
I created broken into shards
I hate artificial grape
And snacks flavored with ranch
I hate when people won't wear belts
Or even pull up their pants
I hate when Summer's over
And you lose a couple friends
I also hate when I'm finished
And it all comes to an end.

October 22nd, 2008, 08:37 AM #1Yesterday was a bad day at the office
Over the last week or so I have been doing research on what program to use to replace the Google Search on one of my sites. I wanted something that I could have more control over and actually see what my visitors were searching for.
I selected a program called Site-Search-Pro. Last week I had it installed and started the indexing process. Wait!! It started clicking thru all of my affiliate links on my PopShop driven pages. So I let the programmer know and said it would not work. The programmer never responded so I requested a refund since he guaranteed 100% satisfaction or money returned.
Yesterday I had to get the credit card processing company 2co.com involved. Though I finally got a refund, somehow, even though I changed my password on the search program as well as my website access, the programmer started his program and away it went. CLICK-CLICK-CLICK all day long. I tried to shut his program off. Nothing. I deleted the program all together - NOTHING. I finally had to have my web host shut down my website for a hour to get rid of the bot. Final result - 12,057 click thru's on the same pages.
I think that will shoot my EPC!Danny W Bonin Jr

Belief That Insurgency Will Fade May Be Misplaced
Monday, December 15, 2003
The capture of former president Saddam Hussein was greeted with euphoria at the marble-walled headquarters of the U.S. occupation authority here, but in the towns and villages to the north and west of the capital, where anger at the occupation is most intense, Hussein's arrest may have little impact on the insurgency that has roiled the country in recent months.
In the eight months that Hussein has been on the run, the resistance has gathered a momentum of its own, driven primarily by local financiers and ringleaders. Although gloating crowds often glorify Hussein after attacks on U.S. forces, recent interviews across the most restive parts of Iraq suggest that motivation for the insurgency extends well beyond loyalty to the former leader.
In rhetorical terms at least, the message of those fighters and their supporters has appealed more to nationalism and religion than to loyalty to Hussein.
"We are not fighting for Saddam," said Ahmed Jassim, a religious student in the flash-point city of Fallujah, as he cheered an attack on a U.S. convoy recently. "We are fighting for our country, for our honor, for Islam. We are not doing this for Saddam."
U.S. military officials said Hussein's capture would probably not spell an immediate end to the fighting and could result in a short-term increase in attacks, if Hussein loyalists lash back. "We do not expect at this point in time that we will have a complete elimination of those attacks," Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, the U.S. military commander in Iraq, said at a news conference on Sunday.
But U.S. commanders across the country expressed confidence that over time, the capture would cripple resistance activity. Army officers said they think the seizure of Hussein also might convince many Iraqis who have so far not supported the occupation that history is on the side of the Americans and their allies.
"The capture of Saddam Hussein will have a tremendous negative impact on the Baathist insurgency, and it is all good news for us and the future of Iraq," Lt. Col. Henry Arnold, a battalion commander in the 101st Airborne Division who is based near the Syrian border, said Sunday. "The Wicked Witch is dead."
"I think this puts a nail in the coffin of hopes that the Baath Party could ever regain control of Iraq," another U.S. commander said. "There is no longer any central figure around whom such a movement could coalesce."
"Without Saddam," he added, "This is no longer a nationalist movement."
For U.S. forces, the most immediate challenge will be to capitalize on information gleaned from Hussein. "The good news is we believe we will gain some actionable intelligence over the next few days, as Saddam is interrogated," said Brig. Gen. Mark Hertling, an assistant commander of the 1st Armored Division, which has responsibility for most of Baghdad. "What he has in his possession, and what he will certainly say to those questioning him, will certainly contribute to connecting some additional dots."
But the commander in charge of the operation to apprehend Hussein, Maj. Gen. Raymond Odierno of the 4th Infantry Division, said it did not appear that the former president was directly organizing resistance activities from his hide-out. There were no communication devices in either the hole in which he was found or a nearby hut.
Odierno and other top U.S. commanders have long maintained that they have not seen signs of national leadership for the resistance, suggesting that Hussein's apprehension may have a more symbolic than practical impact on the insurgency.

Uganda is a landlocked country in East Africa, bordered by Kenya, Sudan, Congo, Rwanda and Tanzania. Straddling the equator, much of her southern border is dominated by Lake Victoria. It is a tremendously lush country, dotted with lakes and rivers (the most famous being the Nile) and the West is fringed by the glacier-capped Rwenzori Mountains. Winston Churchill referred to Uganda as the "Pearl of Africa" with its vast wilderness areas and perhaps the continent's most diverse range of Wildlife.
The country offers top wildlife destinations, fantastic adventure holidays and the best bird life anywhere. Its hidden valleys and vast grass land plains were once the stamping ground of the infamous elephant hunters. From the snow capped peaks of the Rwenzori Mountains to the awe-inspiring spectacle of Murchison Falls, and from the Impenetrable rain forest of Bwindi to the endless horizons of the central plains, Uganda's scenic diversity and richness of the landscape compares favorably with anywhere on the African continent.
Uganda is also sanctuary to such rare and unusual species of wildlife such as Uganda Kob and the Shoebill stork, together with the magnificent mountain gorilla as well as some of Africa's largest concentrations of crocodile and hippo. The Pearl of Africa is indeed a compelling and awesome destination and Crocodile Racers are delighted to extend to you an invitation to follow in the foot steps of those early explorers like Speke, Grant and unlock the secrets of this priceless African gem.
Visitors over 1 year of age from yellow-fever infested areas require yellow fever international certificate of vaccination. Exemptions are made for visitors arriving from non-endemic areas such as Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand. Visitors from non-endemic areas, if traveling outside urban areas are encouraged to obtain a vaccination. Cholera is a serious health risk in this country and precautions are called for. Typhoid is also widespread and immunization is advisable. Most prescription drugs can be bought affordably and with ease over the counter in Kampala. Personal insurance is advised.
Malaria is widespread throughout the country including urban centers such as Kampala, Fort Portal, Jinja, Mbale and the Kigezi area. Visitors are strongly advised to take anti-malaria medication commencing two weeks before travel. Note that resistance to chloroquine has been reported. Bilharzia is a risk and you are advised not to swim or paddle in fresh water lakes and rivers. Swimming pools in good hotels and clubs are usually well chlorinated and maintained and are safe. Tuberculosis and hepatitis (A, B & E) are present in Uganda.
HIV-AIDS is prevalent in the country and needless to say prudent measures are necessary. Good hospitals, health facilities and chemists are only found in the main towns. Medical facilities for advanced treatment including surgery are scarce even in Kampala.
Passports valid for 3 months from date of entry are required of all visitors. All visitors require a visa except for citizens of some Caribbean and African countries. There are also exceptions for citizens of Cyprus, Fiji, Malta, Singapore, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Vanuatu and a few other countries.
Some visas may be issued on entry into the country. It is however advisable to obtain visa's in advance from Ugandan Embassies and High Commissions as some airlines may require it before allowing you to board. Entry may be refused to travelers with no proof of sufficient funds and return or onward tickets. Visa requirements vary from time to time and you are advised to check on prevailing status well ahead of travel.

Uganda's people are complex and diverse. Bantu speakers, widespread in east, central and southern Africa, include the Baganda and a few other tribes. In the north, the Acholi and Lango are Nilotic speakers and have much in common with natives of southern Sudan. The Teso and Karamojong found in the east are related to the Maasai found in Kenya and Tanzania. In the west, the Ankole and Toro are culturally close to the natives of Rwanda. The famous Pygmies are found in the forests of the west.
As a nation, Uganda is an amalgamation of ancient kingdoms and independent chieftains. Among the indigenous kingdoms are the Baganda, Bunyoro, Toro, Ankole and Busoga. The Kingdoms were suppressed in the times of the troubles that razed the country in the two decades after 1967. Today they have been restored with their ancient privileges shorn and play only a ceremonial role in the life of the nation. The Baganda king, the Kabaka, whose domicile is Kampala has historically been the most prominent. His lineage stretches back to the 14th century.
Swahili, the language originating from the east African coast is widely spoken though not as well as in Kenya or Tanzania. Luganda, the language of the Kabaka, is also widely spoken. English is is understood by good numbers though only in urban areas. For the most part, local cuisine consists of matoke (a staple based on green bananas), millet bread, cassava, sweet potatoes, chicken, goat and beef stews and freshwater fish. Ugali, the maize meal based filler popular in east Africa is used as an accompaniment for meat or vegetable dishes. You will easily a decent locally brewed beer. Popular brands include Bell, Club and Nile Special. The national drink is however a banana gin known as waragi. This is a giant killer and if you imbibe it in immoderate quantities, you will sooner come to grief.
Telephone, fax, telegram, post and Internet services are available in urban centers. International direct dialing to many countries is available in the principal towns. In rural areas telephony services are unreliable. The country code for Uganda is 256.
Mobile phones are based on GSM 900/1800 network. Coverage extends to the principal towns. You can obtain a GSM card that will allow you to make international calls to any country. The main network operators are: Uganda Telecom (www.utl.co.ug), Celtel (www.msi-cellular.com) and MTN Uganda (www.mtn.co.ug). You will find Internet cafes in Kampala and some of the main towns.
There is international standard accommodation in Entebbe, Jinja and Kampala. The quality is variable in the smaller towns and rated accommodation is scarce. All of the major national parks offer accommodation in game lodges and tented camps.
The local currency is the Uganda Shilling (Ush). The import and export of local currency is not allowed. There are no restrictions on the import of foreign currency provided it is declared on arrival. On departure, export of foreign currency is restricted to the amount declared on entry. Visa, MasterCard, Diners and American Express are widely accepted at bigger hotels, restaurants, travel agencies and shops
Traveler's Cheques can be cashed at major hotels, banks and forex bureaus. You will do best when your traveler's Cheques are denominated in US Dollars or Sterling Pounds. Foreign currency can be exchanged at the Central Bank, commercial banks and forex bureaus. Generally you will get better exchange rates at forex bureaus. Changing money in the streets is a bad idea. Street traders sometimes deal in funny money.
Uganda enjoys a tropical climate tempered by altitude. The country is generally flat though the average altitude is about 1000m. Due to the rather high altitude, temperatures range between 21 to 25°C. The mountain areas of Mount Elgon and the Rwenzori mountains are even cooler and the top of both mountains experiences some snow. The hottest period of the year is from December to February when temperature rise 29 degrees Celsius. The country experiences two rainy seasons: April to May and October to November, with April being the wettest month. The north however has a wet season lasting from April to October. The best times to visit are December-March and June-September.
International Travel
Uganda's only International Airport is at Entebbe, 35 km from the capital Kampala. Outside Uganda, the airport gained fame as the place where Israeli commandos rescued passengers on a hijacked plane, back in the days of the infamous Idi Amin. The dramatic rescue captured the imagination of the world and is the subject of a few films. There are few direct flights to Entebbe from outside Africa and most travelers from Europe, Asia and North America will arrive via Nairobi, the Kenyan capital. Daily connections are available from Nairobi. Airlines landing at Entebbe include British Airways, Egypt Air, Emirates, South African Airways, Kenya Airways, Ethiopian Airlines, SN Brussels, Air Rwanda, and Air Tanzania.
To save on cost, some travelers disembark at Nairobi and take the overnight bus to Kampala. There are two overland crossing points from Kenya: Busia and Malaba. From Mwanza in Tanzania, you can get to Kampala by ferry. You can also enter the country from Tanzania through the Kagera salient between Bukoba and Masaka. Overland travel through Rwanda, Sudan and Zaire is uncertain due to security considerations. Make sure to check the latest situation with the security authorities before committing to travel.
Local Travel
Local flights depart from Entebbe to the principal towns. Most major towns have airstrips, and do most of the National Parks and Game Reserves. There is an extensive service of minibuses connecting most parts of the country from Kampala.
Driving in Uganda is on the left, a legacy of British rule. Rental cars are available at Entebbe and Kampala. You need to show an international drivers license to hire a vehicle. Roads radiate from Kampala and are of varying quality. In the north of the country the security situation is still doubtful and so are the roads. It is a good idea if you are on self-drive to get local advice about the condition of the roads you intend to use.
Travel Insurance
Health and the usual travel insurance are recommended. Check that your travel insurance Includes emergency evacuation.
What to Wear
Light clothing is generally adequate in Uganda. But you need warmer wraps and sweaters for the evenings and early mornings. You are also advised to carry some rainwear, just in case. Usually dressing is informal. For both men and women, cotton slacks and flat-heeled comfortable walking shoes are recommended on safari. It is a good idea to bring along a hat and a decent pair of sunglasses for sun protection.
Gorilla Trekking
The minimum age for gorilla trekking is 15 years. Each permit costs $375 per person per day, $500 as from 01 July 2007. Chimp permits US$70.
Please note that gorilla trekking is a strenuous exercise. You need long sleeves, long trousers, rain coat, hiking boots, and water proof bag for your equipment. Make sure you take enough water with you on the trekking. Porters are available to hire for a nominal amount. Although films are available in Kampala, it is advisable to bring your film with you.

The question of role of Police in some sensitive social issues is an ever- debatable point in society. Recently, when a young man died in Kolkata under suspicious circumstances and there was police involvement, the issue became extremely controversial. The leftist government of West Bengal became defensive and the storm of protest reached every corner of India. The Human Rights organizations in India launched protests. The West Bengal government first ordered CID Investigation, but facing mounting political pressure ordered Judicial Inquiry. This burning issue ' Sensitive Social Issues and the Role of Police' is the subject of this week's Hello Washington.
Our distinguished guests are Sujata Bhadra, Upen Biswas and Anjan Bosu.
Sujata Bhadra is a human rights activist. He is the Secretary General of Association for Protection of Democratic Rights, West Bengal.
Upen Biswas is Retd. Joint Director, CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation).
Anjan Bosu is the Executive Editor of Sangbad Pratidin.

I donate each year to Goodwill and Salvation Army. I also donate furniture and household goods to Habitat for Humanity. They are great at picking up large items and the tax credit helps when income tax reporting comes around.
Battered Women's Shelter;
Camp Cocker;
Wildlife Rescue;
Homeless Shelter;
Interfaith Church;
Hospice Treasure Chest;
Under Serviced Youth Scholarships.
Blessings for all the good you do in the world! Earth Angel!
I donate clothing and other goods to the Salvation Army and Goodwill. I think both of these organizations do a good job of redistributing items to those in need.
What a great question. I do donate to Salvation Army, but there are two small non-profit organizations (not national names or brands) ....one help women and women with children with housing and employment....the women are homeless for various reasons....isssues from forecloser to divorce and need a place to live. They are allow 1 to 3 months and while there they are helped with everything from how to dress for an interview, how to conduct yourself in an interview to what to say. They very often need the proper clothing, clothing for their children and school supplies, etc. This is a small organization with a very small budget that is doing so much good. The other organization is a ministry (local) that serve both men and women with children....they also keep families together instead of separating them as they help them find housing and jobs...they need all the things I listed above and also ask for donating in household goods i.e towels, dishes, some furniture to help give the family a way to get started or re-started.
I love these two organizations and have volunteered from time to time, especially helping with fundraising.
I usually donate to the Vietnam Vets. This organization seems to be very good and their CEO doesn't make an outrageous salary, as compared to some of the other well known charities. My husband is a Vietnam vet also. I have given women's clothing to Hubbard House also, which is a place in my city that provides a safe haven for abused women and children.
The charity shop in my town which raises money for the local animal sanctuary.
Yep, Salvation Army and Goodwill here too. Seems most of the others have had corruption probs at the top.
We live in a very small town so no Salvation Army or Goodwill. We do have a Community Thrift store and I give all my clothing and other items to them.
donate clothes to" Missionaries of Charity" setup by Mother Teresa and an organisation which takes care of the dying destitutes it picks from the streets of Delhi and nurses back to health or lets them die with dignity.
I also donate money regularly "Gamru village school" a school set up in a remote part of India providing free education to children whose parents are daily wage laborers and do not at times even have a meal to eat, what to talk of a house to live.I try my best to fund their midday meal program as the nutritious meal is the biggest reason children come to school there.The school currently has about 150 children.
I donate to the hill country animail leage I love animails so thats why I donate and shop there

Here's the latest action we're following today on the GreenBeat:
BrightSource to power up Crete — The Greek island of Crete will install a 38-megawatt solar project with BrightSource's solar thermal technology, which uses thousands of mirrors to concentrate sunlight onto a boiler filled with water atop a tower, generating steam to turn an electrical turbine.
EPA approves ethanol-blended fuel — Cars and light trucks made between 2001 and 2006 are now permitted to use fuel blended with 15 percent ethanol, known as E15. The EPA approved the blend last year for cars made after 2007.
Cleantech venture capital rose in 2010 — Venture capital dollars going into cleantech amounted to 17 percent of all venture capital invested in 2010, compared to 11 percent in 2009, for a total of $3.7 billion invested in 267 deals, according to the MoneyTree Report released by PricewaterhouseCoopers and the National Venture Capital Association. Five of the top 10 deals last year went to cleantech.
Hug Energy shuts down — The energy management startup is closing its doors, Earth2Tech writes, citing lack of interest from investors. It had developed a computer-based system for home energy management, an area that has struggled to gain traction.
Texas approves wind power lines — The controversial lines will run 140 miles across the scenic Hill Country region to bring West Texas wind power to the rest of the state, Texas Tribune writes. Regulators, who have awarded several transmission line projects for wind, have butted heads with environmentalists and homeowners in the past, some of whom have successfully stopped projects from going forward.

"Computer science is largely a matter of abstraction: identifying a wide range of applications that include some overlapping functionality, and then working to abstract out that shared functionality into a distinct service layer (or module, or language, or whatever). That new service layer then becomes a platform on top of which many other functionalities can be built that had previously been impractical or even unimagined. How does this activity of abstraction work as a practical matter? It's technical work, of course, but it's also social work. It is unlikely that any one computer scientist will be an expert in every one of the important applications areas that may benefit from the abstract service. So collaboration will be required."

Need replacement Malta clip
A contractor from Connecticut says:
April 7, 2013
The screen clips are for Malta tilt in double hung windows installed approximately 17 tears ago. The clips have no identifying part number.
I need to know if Swisco part number 70-048 is the correct replacement screen clip for the Malta screen clip(s) shown in the photos.
I need to know if Swisco part number 70-048 is the correct replacement screen clip for the Malta screen clip(s) shown in the photos.
Paul from SWISCO responded:
April 8, 2013
Thanks for posting! Yes, I think our 70-048 looks like our best possible match. Just make sure that all the dimensions we show match up to your own hardware.
A home owner from Redding, CT says:
April 9, 2013
I have the same clip you show in your picture and I ordered the new black replacements to try them. They did not work for me. The attach onto the screen just fine, but when I tried to catch it onto the window frame, it did not line up. Mine have one catch for the window frame, the black ones have two, so I tried squeezing them together and pushing them into the frame, but it is not holding right. :( I have been looking for the replacement clip for years and just cannot find one.
Tom from SWISCO responded:
April 11, 2013
Ah, I see. That's too bad. I appreciate this information, but unfortunately the 70-048 is the closest possible replacement we have. I am sorry we cannot help more.

Do you destroy the enemies after they exit the screen? If you don't their number will increase and the game becomes laggy. I like the idea of the game. Learn more about optimisation.

I am not sure. This is my very first game. I will try to make it divided into levels so lag spikes don't occur. Thanks for the review :)

Replenishment of soil C and N is essential for sustainable revegetation of minesoils. Our study investigated paper de-inking sludge as the organic amendment for revegetating an abandoned sandpit in Québec, Canada. Sludge was incorporated at 0 (check) and 105 Mg dry matter ha−1 before seeding tall wheatgrass (Agropyron elongatum (Host) Beauv.). Nitrogen (at 315, 630 and 945 kg N ha−1) and P (at 52.5 and 105 kg P ha−1) were also applied to all plots. Distribution of C and N was determined periodically in two sizes (<53 μm and >53 μm) and two densities (<1.8 g cm−3 and >1.8 g cm−3) of soil fractions during 823 d. After 823 d, C concentrations were 43 and 69% of those of Day 5, for the low and high N rates, respectively. With time, the proportion of C in the heavy (>1.8 g cm−3) fraction increased from 20 to 55%, but remained near 20% in the fine (<53 μm) fraction. Increasing N rates increased C conservation mainly in the coarse (>53 μm) fraction. The amount of N recovered in all fractions decreased after Day 86, in accordance with a previous litter bag study. Although inorganic N was positively correlated with total N in all fractions, the fine fraction was the best indicator of the size of the mineral N pool. Addition of sludge to the sandpit favored the restoration of C and N pools, and high levels of mineral N increased this effect. Residues became denser but remained relatively coarse during their decomposition.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

A Cornwall Vicar disturbs Sherlock Holmes' vacation in town after his sister dies mysteriously, and his brothers who were in the house with her at the same time seemingly go insane. Shortly after, the Vicar dies as well. Some suggest it is the work of the Devil, but Holmes seeks (and finds) other answers in another of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's masterful short mysteries featuring the iconic detective. David Timson, BBC radio drama stalwart, as well as a stage, film, and television veteran, brings unique voice and personal nuance to each character in this episode from the Reminiscences of Sherlock Holmes (His Last Bow) collection.
This story is from The Reminiscences of Sherlock Holmes (His Last Bow) collection.
Further adventures by the master of observation and deduction, as faithfully recounted by his companion and greatest admirer, Dr Watson. "The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans," "The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax", and "The Adventure of the Dying Detective" are among the stories. David Timson's award-winning performances continue with this series.
