Renault's Dacia output halted by pay strike in Romania
Workers build Dacia cars on a production line at the automaker's plant in Mioveni, Romania. Photo credit: Reuters |
BUCHAREST (Reuters) -- Renault's Dacia unit stopped production at its Romanian factory as employees went on strike in a dispute over pay.
"We're negotiating on the collective work agreement," Anca Oreviceanu, a Dacia spokeswoman, said when asked about the strike. "We don't know the impact on production yet."
Local media reports said striking employees at the plant in Pitesti, 120km northwest of Bucharest, are seeking a 25 percent pay increase. The average monthly gross pay at Dacia was 3,700 lei (836 euros) last year, which compared with a national average of 2,100 lei.
Trade unionists were not immediately available to comment.
Dacia is the country's largest exporter, accounting for roughly 3 percent of gross domestic product, with more than 90 percent of output sold abroad. Romania's economy, the EU's second-poorest, grew 0.3 percent last year and is expected to rise by 1.5 percent this year.
Hit hard by the world economic and financial crisis, Romania was plunged into a deep recession in 2009 and had to turn to the International Monetary Fund for help.
Dacia's low-cost vehicles have proved popular in austerity-hit European markets and sales have grown strongly in comparison with Renault's core brand, which continues to lose market share in the region.
Last month, Dacia sales in EU and EFTA countries rose 15.4 percent, according to data from industry organization ACEA, while sales of the Renault brand dropped 14.8 percent.
Dacia sold about 360,000 cars worldwide last year, up 4.8 percent from 2011.

A gracious attitude reflects the character of God

I knew I had a real find—a record album of Roger Williams with his 1960's-era Top 40 hit "Born Free" And there wasn't a single scratch on it. It cost all of $5. In the time it has taken to type these first few lines, the transaction was complete, and the store owner handed me my album.

North Carolina Secretary of State Elaine Marshall sought the support of Scotland County voters for herself as well as fellow Democrats running for the Council of State.
Marshall spoke to Friday's meeting of the Scotland County Democratic Women, which was attended by some 35 of the group's members.
She described the office of Secretary of State as a hybrid of the clerk of court and register of deeds, with responsibility for the entire state. The office is also charged with the responsibility of approving every new business formed in North Carolina - just over 200 a day.
"Things are filed with us that are financial records, business records, corporation records," said Marshall. "We form all the corporations, limited liability companies, and nonprofits in this state."
Marshall, a native of Maryland, moved to North Carolina after graduating from college, taking a job teaching home economics in Lenoir County. "I'm a product of the public schools and nobody in my family had been to college before," Marshall said. "In fact, in my community there wasn't an expectation for young people to get additional education."
She later graduated from law school at Campbell University and practiced law for several years before representing District 15 in the N.C. Senate. Marshall has held the post of secretary of state since 1997.
"When I became Secretary of State, I inherited an office that was in trouble: it was out of date and employee morale was terrible," she said. "People couldn't get anything done through the office… Our databases are now the pride of this country. I have received national recognition for efficiency and the red tape that we've cut, because when I came in and the situation was what it was, we immediately embraced technology."
Longtime Laurinburg City Clerk Dee Hammond, who retired last year, interacted with Marshall's office filing clerk's reports and annexation reports.
"I know that you have addressed the clerks' association at the League of Municipalities for a number of years, and I know that the city clerks, town clerks, and village clerks appreciate all you do for them," Hammond said. "She does a lot more than the things she talked about today."
The Secretary of State's responsibilities also include documenting most commercial loans made in North Carolina as well as preventing purveyance of counterfeit, illegal, and unsafe goods in the state.
Marshall said that although she is a Democrat, she operates her office in a nonpartisan fashion, as people of all interests interact with her office both politically and as private individuals.
"The office that I run is elected on a partisan basis, but I operate it on a nonpartisan basis because when somebody's coming up, I never know if they are a hobby crafter who wants to be a corporation just because they think it's the great thing to do and they're going to have things at a few community street festivals - that's fine if the want to be a corporation or an LLC," she said. "But that person handing those papers across the desk may have the best new idea to transform my life or your life. They may be working on research and medicine, they may end up being patent holder on something that's really going to be a groundbreaking achievement."
Marshall runs against Republican Ed Goodwin for the secretary of state's post.
She spoke highly of her fellow Democrats running in the Council of State races for lieutenant governor, attorney general, auditor, commissioner of insurance, commissioner of agriculture, commissioner of labor, treasurer, and superintendent of public instruction. All of those posts, excepting commissioners of agriculture and labor, are presently held by Democrats.
"This state has the strongest group of state-level administrators who are elected of any state that I can imagine, and we are all faced by Tea Party challengers," Marshall said.
Having lost her Senate seat in an extraordinarily close race in 1994, Marshall impressed the importance of each individual vote.
"On election night it looked like I had lost by 10 votes," she said. "On recount it went down to eight votes. When it was finished, it was a dead heat. If anybody tells you that one vote doesn't count, I'm here to tell you - that's bologna."
Commissioner Carol McCall agreed, and encouraged Democrats not to be discouraged by Mitt Romney's apparent lead in public opinion polls. At close of polls on Thursday, 4,190 ballots had been cast in Scotland County.
"Yesterday there was somebody on TV saying 'if the election were held today,' but the election is being held today because people are voting every day," said McCall. "North Carolina is still a battleground state, and don't let anybody on TV or the radio tell you any differently."

New Fronius DC Box 60/12 for string collection
The new string collection box for up to 12 solar module strings brings inverters in grid connected pv sytems to zero potential.
The new Fronius DC Box 60/12 is a collection box for up to 12 module strings with a total current of up to 60 ampere (max. 20A per string).
String fuses can also be used to provide fuse protection to the module group. In addition, the Fronius DC Box 60/12 also provides a connection option for DIN rail-mountable overvoltage protection.
The Fronius DC Box 60/12 has a robust plastic housing (IP65 protection class) and, therefore, can also be installed in protected outdoor areas (e.g. under the modules, under roof overhangs, etc.).
The Fronius DC Box 60/12 was specially designed for Fronius IG Plus 150 inverters; however, it can also be used with other Fronius inverters.
Because the Fronius IG Plus series comes standard with an integrated DC disconnect, this is not included in the Box.
For explicit information regarding the new Fronius DC Box 60/12, please have a look in the sector pv system monitoring. To download the technical data sheet please change to our .

I´m testing to mix a 360x120 (not 180° vertical) GigaPixel Pano (GigaPan Robot) with a spherical (360x180°) Fisheye Pano from the same viewpoint with same camera-settings.
I would like to make a "fake" 360x180 GigaPixel Pano with low resolution nadir & zenith.
How would you combine these images? Just Photoshop? I think this could be quite difficult when the lines not matching together exactly
Or better to first stitch the 360x120 gigapixel pano and shoot the low-res-360x180pano with none-fishey-lens and then try to stitch the finished gigapixel-pano with the low-res-images?
Best regards,
multifocal pano mixes can be done with up to an 1:4 Ratio.
so lets say you have 15mm,50mm,200mm this can be done with apg.
But you cant mix Fisheye with non fischeye panos in apg.

thank you Georg, but mixing 200mm and 50mm I cant import via GigaPan Importer? Do I have to import the normal way without the photo-matrix (e.g. row by row)?
Now I´m having two series of shots by GigaPan from the same viewpoint.
200mm 360 x about 80° and 50mm 360 x about 160°
I don´t know how to combine the images via gigapan importer

sorry für meine späte Antwort... / sorry for late replay...
did you try the Option flag in gigapan importer: "Nb Image per Location (bracketing)"?
I think this will fail...
so you only can use one focal with gigapan importer
and before detecting the pano add the Images for the other focal, then detect the Images (if exif is correct set the Images should finally get grouped automatically into different layers (in Editor->Layers window)

Hi Georg,
thank you for your advice.
I tried the second method, and imported the 200mm-images via GigaPan-Importer but didn´t start the detection. Then dragged the 50mm images into the same group and autopano gives me the message:
"You are about to change the panorama structure generated by a plugin. The panorama will be changed to standard detection mode. Are you sure you want to continue?"
I pressed OK, but the detection was quite bad (lot´s of sky-pics and difficult near objects).
So I think the only way will be to render two seperate panos and manually blend them in photoshop, what can be quite difficult when the aligning between the two panos is not identical (what it never will be I think)

Life is incredibly short, and at the end of it all, some ink in your dermis really isn't a big deal. If it's nice to look at and it makes someone happy, I don't think it's "retarded" at all.

POINT PLEASANT — When one hears of a car crash, it's not often they get to examine the destroyed car up close and personal.
On Thursday afternoon, students from Point Pleasant Junior/Senior High School (PPJSHS) who are planning on attending their prom tonight had the opportunity to view the car in which classmate Andrea Bailes was riding in when it was hit by a drunk driver. On November 18, 2011, Bailes was riding with Paul Sheets and his daughter, Sammy, when Steve Stover, a drunk driver with a history of DUI offenses, hit them in a head-on collision. The Corolla that Sheets was driving that night was on display in front of the school to remind students of what could be the result of drinking and driving.
In addition to the mock crash, students also attended an assembly similar in style to a previous assembly held last month at PPJSHS to remember and honor Bailes. At the assembly, Bailes' close friends Katherine Deem, Jessica McCoy, and Alexis Meadows, again spoke about Bailes and her life. The students again demonstrated how alcohol impairs ones vision and reflexes while four students, two who were normal drivers and two who wore "drunk" goggles, attempted to carry eggs on wooden spoons and tossed a kickball back and forth. Once again, the "drunk" students struggled to accomplish these simple tasks, dropping their eggs and kicking the ball sideways, even missing it a few times.
"Their vision, their reflexes, were obviously impaired," one of the students said.
Sheets was also present at the assembly and spoke to the students about what happened the night of November 18, 2011, and what he remembered about Bailes. He said he had just gotten the Corolla back from the body shop that morning, from where he had previously hit a deer and that night, he, his daughter, and Bailes were traveling to Pullman Sqaure in Huntington to see the new Twilight movie. They stopped by a McDonald's on their way home, and both girls were still talking about how great the movie was. Sheets said one of the last things he remembers is the girls saying that this night was the best night of their lives.
"Whatever you do, don't drink and drive," Sheets said to the students. He went on to say this message doesn't just apply to the prom season, but all year long.
PPJSHS Principal William Cottrill also addressed the students and recognized the three girls who spoke about Bailes, stating how courageous they were. Cottrill went on to discuss a beer commercial with the students and how those scenes only show the "good" times, but nothing bad that could possibly happen.
"They don't tell you about the lives lost from drinking and driving," Cottrill said. "I hope today you get a piece of reality."

Very nice ring, much more dainty looking in person than on site. It didn't match another ring I was planning to wear with it so I had to return it. Easy return process, just a bummer that I had to pay return shipping.
I am very pleased. Beautiful ring, well made, great quality. I feel very confident in ordering items from Blue Nile- you are consistent in your quality and beauty.
She is crazy about the ring. It was more beautiful than the picture on the web-site. Blue Nile service is impeccable. You guys are the best in the business.
Bought as a gift for my wife. She loves it. Our only concern is that the stone seems very slightly loose. I'm sure that the prongs could be tightened if desired.
The ring is amazing!! My partner gets comments on how beautiful the opal is often!! Very pleased with this ring!!
My now fiance absolutely loved this ring, as did everyone who has seen it. Among the comments she received were "it's the most beautiful ring ever" and "it was so beautiful I gasped out loud and jumped out of my seat." We couldn't be happier with it, and plan on getting our wedding bands from you as well. Thanks so much!!!! The ring is truly amazing quality for such a fair price. Jesse

A ruptured eardrum is an opening or hole in the eardrum, which separates the outer and middle ear. When the eardrum is damaged, the hearing may be harmed.
Tympanic membrane perforation; Eardrum - ruptured or perforated; Perforated eardrum
Ear infections may cause a ruptured eardrum, more often in children. The infection causes pus or fluid to build up behind the eardrum. As the pressure increases, the eardrum may break open (rupture).
Damage to the eardrum can also occur from:
Ear pain may suddenly decrease right after your eardrum ruptures.
After the rupture, you may have:
The doctor will look in your ear with an instrument called an otoscope or a microscope. If the eardrum is ruptured, the doctor will see an opening in it, and may even see the bones of the middle ear.
Sometimes it is hard for the doctor to see the eardrum because of drainage (pus) from the ear.
Audiology testing can measure how much hearing has been lost.
Putting warmth on the ear may help relieve discomfort. Painkillers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen may be used to relieve pain.
Keep the ear clean and dry while it is healing.
Antibiotics (oral or ear drops) may be used to prevent or treat an infection.
Sometimes the health care provider may place a patch over the eardrum to speed healing. Surgical repair of the eardrum (tympanoplasty ) may be needed if the eardrum does not heal on its own.
The opening in the eardrum usually heals by itself within 2 months. Any hearing loss is most often short-term.
Rarely, other problems may occur, such as:
If your pain and symptoms improve after your eardrum ruptures, you may wait until the next day to see your health care provider.
Call your health care provider right away after your eardrum ruptures if you:
Do not insert objects into the ear canal, even to clean it. Foreign objects should only be removed by a health care provider. Have ear infections treated promptly.

Winter Wood - updates
*LATEST*: The new US edition of The Various is now available. Go to HOME.
Winter Wood hardback release - January 3rd 2008
New edition, repackaged as 'The Touchstone Trilogy' - Early 2009.
Any changes to this, I'll let you know,
44 comments:
- Lili said...
How exciting--I can hardly wait! I'm so glad we'll finally get to read the last of the trilogy & get all our questions answered (hopefully!).
- Steve Augarde said...
Thanks lili. Yes, there have been times when I've wondered myself just what those answers are going to be. Some things can be worked through, like doing a puzzle, but often you just have to wait and see what wants to happen
- Belle said...
I'm sure that Winter Wood will be as wonderful as the other two books - as a more " mature" reader (wrong side of 40!) my daughter looked on in astonishment as I read Celandine - only for me to find her snuggled up under her quilt a few days later with the self same book ! Have decided that January 2008 is a very long time to wait, but it will give me time to re-read Celandine and The Various again ( not for the first time!) so that I'm ready and waiting for the last part of this absolutely stunning trilogy. Thank you so much writing these books - I have recommended them to all of my year six pupils - they conjour up such fantastic pictures in my mind! I really think they should be obligatory reading for all upper primary school pupils and shall do my utmost to encourage as many of my pupils as possible to read them. I have to admit I shed quite a few tears whilst reading both books, so I'm ordering a large quantity of extra large tissues for January - only 4 months to go !
- Irene said...
It is so rare you get to thank an author, so thank you! Reading is what makes ones life a rich one and you have contributed wonderfully. I cannot wait to read the last part and hope to read future titles in your name.
- Steve Augarde said...
Thanks Belle. I have to admit that both books made me cry at times, also. Perhaps for different reasons.
It's very gratifying to find that these stories are being enjoyed by adults as well as younger readers. - 4:12 AM
- Steve Augarde said...
Thank you so much, Irene. I've been deliberately avoiding reading these past few years - a terrible thing to say. But I've been conscious of having to maintain a constant 'voice' and so have shut myself off from outside influences. Over cautious, no doubt, and I think maybe it's time to pick up where I left off...renew my subscription to The Dandy...
- redchalk said...
Hello Steve,
Read Celandine and The Various .
Thought both books were really good and I am looking forward to Winter Wood --- Shame it wont be released before Christmas.
I rank Celandine and The Various with my all time favourite book called "Last born of Elvinwood" by Linda Haldeman.(no longer in print)
Keep up the Good work - 3:00 AM
- Steve Augarde said...
Thanks, redchalk, that's good to hear. I'm not familiar with Linda Haldeman or Elvinwood, I'm afraid, but I'll keep an eye out. Now that I've completed this trilogy I feel that I can give myself permission to have a look at what everyone else has been up to.
- tim tom said...
Really enjoyed the various and Celandine, both of which have pride of place on my bookshelf. Am really hanging out for winter wood and have been pestering the local book store on numeros counts. Would like winterwood to be available in paperback to match my previous 2 books - is a paperback version likely?
- Steve Augarde said...
Hi Tim Tom. Glad you like it so far - and thanks for writing. There will certainly be a hardback to match the first two, but I'm not sure about paperback. I think that by that time they'll be printed up in the new artwork. I'll find out.
- Gwyn said...
> ...a release date of January 2008.
Will it be available in the U.S. then, too? I'm hungry for more! - 8:09 PM
- Steve Augarde said...
Hallo Gwyn. I'm not sure when US release date is, but it's usually a few months after the UK. You can probably get hold of a UK edition from Amazon, and have it shipped over, or if not you're welcome to email me and I'll se what I can do.

I loved "The Various"!
Your book "Celandine"hasn't been at any of the local book stores,
So I recently ordered it online.
"The Various" is ranked up there with "The Chronicles of Narnia" and "The Inheritance Trilogy" in my mind.
Is there ANY more information that you can release about "Winter Wood"?
Waiting to read both,
Aaron - 1:25 PM

- Steve Augarde said...
Hi Aaron. There's not much I can say about Winter Wood in advance of publication. It was a huge relief to be able to reach the end and think 'that's it, that's the whole story told.' It was also a relief to be able to say 'and I think that it was a story worth telling'.
I did an interview recently for an online writing magazine called Eclectica, and I do talk a little bit more about the trilogy here. You might be interested. I don't seem to be able to do live links, but here's the URL:
Thanks for writing. Hope you enjoy Celandine - Steve. - 1:43 PM
- Aaron_Allen said...
Hey Steve,
Thanks for the link I enjoyed interview very much.
And thanks for replying.
How can I go about getting my copies of your books signed?
Aaron - 7:51 PM
- Steve Augarde said...
Go to the email link on the home page of this blog, and leave me a message. I'll give you a postal address for the books to be sent to me. I'll be happy to sign them. You might want to wait until you've got all three and ship them in one batch!
- Aaron_Allen said...
Thanks Steve.
I'll be sending them when I have all three.
I clicked the email link but it said it wasn't installed correctly.
If you could send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Or something I would appreciate it.
Aaron - 1:12 PM
- Amy said...
Hi! I read both The Various and Celandine and i gotta say, i loved them both! i was wondering wat kind of clothes Celandine would wear, because i'm doing something for school, i would appreciate it very much if u described or even sent example pictures. I really can't wait until Winter Wood comes out! just less than one more month and i'll get to see what finally happens!
- Steve Augarde said...
Thanks very much, Amy. probably the easiest way to get an idea of clothing for that era is to look on the internet. If you go to Google Image, for instance and type in 'Girls' School Uniform 1900s' you'll find photographs from that time. And the following URL will take you to a site for vintage clothing. This is a bit 'high fashion' and probably not what country people would have been wearing, so you might have to do a bit more reasearch, but the internet or your local library is certainly a good place to start.

Hope you enjoy Winter Wood! - 12:24 AM
- Regina said...
Hi Steve,
my daughter and me are both fascinated by your books. Do you know, by any chance, when Winter Wood will be translated into german?
It's a pity that we don't have edgeprinting! Why? The books become even more precious!
Many greetings from Germany
Regina - 4:16 AM
- Lizzie said...
Does it ever come out in paperback in the original edition?
- Steve Augarde said...
Regina, I haven't heard anything as yet about the German translation. You might be better off writing directly to my publishers! Try firstname.lastname@example.com.
I'm delighted of course that you've enjoyed the first two titles, Das Kleine Volk and Der Elfenwald. - 2:05 PM
- Steve Augarde said...
Lizzie, re the question of whether Winter Wood will come out in the original paperback format. I'm slightly confused myself, because of the new paperback versions due out later thius year. However, the original paperbacks are published by Corgi, not Random House, and I don't see why they wouldn't complete their set. So I would think the answer would be 'yes'.
- Michelle said...
Hi Steve!!
I've been searching bookshops in the hope of finding Winter Wood and this is the first time i thought to look on the net!!!
In 2006 i went on an 8 week camping trip with a friend in the highlands and lake ditrict. I found the Various and Celandine in a small bookshop and knew in the first chapter i'd hit the noval jackpot!! I fell in love with them, especially Celendines charecter. They took me miles away from the wet tent i was frequently curld up in to escape the rain.
Thank you for putting such a gem out there for me to find.
Can't wait to get to the shop!! - 6:41 AM
- Steve Augarde said...
Aaaah....that's a nice story, Michelle. Reading in a tent; how peaceful that sounds.
I shall be going to Scotland myself in a few weeks time, to the Word festival at Aberdeen. Think I might drive and take in some scenery. - 1:00 AM
- Marzo said...
Hi Steve
Great to see that the third part has now been released - I've got it on order - thoroughly enjoyed the first two. I also have a hardback edition of Mr. Mick (as a huge Stackridge fan) signed by Mutter Slater. Hope to get your signature on it as well some time. Do you keep in touch with Mutter or any of the Stackridge members? - they are touring again!!
Thanks again for your amazing books - good luck with your next venture. - 2:52 AM
- Lizzie said...
Any idea when it will come out?
- Steve Augarde said...
Marzo, thanks for writing.
I haven't seen Mutter for a few years now - but I know where he lives! We bump into each other very occasionally. I was aware that Stackridge had reformed, and were out and about. Good luck to the lads. - 12:50 AM
- Steve Augarde said...
Lizzie, the paperbacks usually come out from between six months to a year after hardbacks. I'm due down in London this week for some signings - I'll try and find out more.
- Lizzie said...
I just really want to get the matching set rather than a mixture of hardback and paperback.
- rheyergray said...
Any US release date yet for Winter Wood?
- Steve Augarde said...
Nothing on US release as yet. I'll try and find out.
I'm flat out working at the moment, and don't seem to have the head for much else. Must take a break... - 5:30 PM
- Regina said...
Germans version of Winter Wood (Heimkehr ins Elfenreich) is now released!!!
May I ask you for signing my books?
Regina - 3:27 AM
- Steve Augarde said...
Wow. I had no idea, Regina. Thanks for letting me know - I might put this news up on the main board!
Yes, of course you can send your books to me for signing. If you'd like to email me at email@example.com, I'll tell you how to go about it. - 5:08 AM
- Charles said...
Hello. I'm currently reading the Various and I LOVE it. Can't wait to pick up copies of Celandine and of course Winter Wood. So far, in the U.S. no release date yet?
- Abby=] said...
Hi Steve!
I live in the U.S., just recently having come back from South Africa. I just finished The Various, and absolutely loved it!! Was a bit confused at the ending....does Midge change into Celandine? I have the second book right here with me, I got them both at the public library! They do not have "Winter Wood." I was very dissapointed...but perhaps they will get it soon! Would love to hear back from you...
Abby - 4:37 PM
- Steve Augarde said...
Thanks, Charles. Glad you're enjoying the story. Still no US release date as yet. Sorry! I'll put up a post as soon as I hear something.
- Steve Augarde said...
Hi Abby. Thanks for writing. I deliberately left the ending of The Various slightly ambiguous, but I can tell you that Midge is not Celandine, nor vice versa. The two girls are connected, though. They share a common experience through their meeting with the tribes, and there is also a strange telepathy between them, even though they are separated by a timespan of over ninety years.
Read on - it all makes sense in the end! (I think....) - 2:02 AM
- MandMmum said...
Dear Mr. Augarde,
I just finished Book Two in your Touchstone Trilogy and the series so far is truly fantastic. The books bring back fond memories and give me that same fasination and thrill I recall as a child when I read The Chronicles of Narnia. My eight year old bought the first of the series for herself and I just happened to "borrow" it and am happily hooked. Congratulations, the bookstore tells me they vanish off the shelf's here in Canada. - 6:34 PM

Hallo MandMmum. Thanks for your lovely comments. I sometimes wonder whether I've got my target audience wrong, and that I'm actually writing for adults. I do seem to get a lot of letters from grown-ups who've picked these books up out of curiosity and then become drawn in.
Well, I'm not complaining. Thanks again. - 3:44 AM

I stumbled upon The Various quite by accident - I am soooo pleased I did!! Today I bought Celadine and cant wait to see what you have in store for me. I will put your books in my sons treasure chest - he's only two. Alongside The Inkheart trilogy, Chronicles of Darkness. I'd like to know of any other of your books you have written that adults as well as children may enjoy. Final word - Thank-you so much for bringing the magic back! Please dont stop!!!!

Hi Jacqui - thanks for your lovely comments!
Having begun the Touchstone Trilogy, I guess you'll have to finish it, so what else can I do but recommend Winter Wood? And then of course there's X Isle... - 1:29 AM

This is a basic recipe that is easy to make and uses standard ingredients...you can spice it up using coriander pods, saffron, turmeric, and a cinnamon stick if you want to. Some recipes add a little cream at the end, or cooked lentils along with the rice. If it were fresh pea season, I'd definitely throw some in. It's all good.
Kedgeree ~~~adapted from Jamie Oliver
3 large eggs, boiled and quartered
4 cups cooked basmati (long grain) rice
1/3-1/2 lb smoked fish, I used salmon (buy it in a chunk, not the thin sliced kind)
4 Tbsp butter
1 heaping Tbsp fresh grated ginger
1 medium onion, finely diced
1 clove of garlic, peeled and finely chopped
2 Tbsp curry powder
1 Tbsp mustard seeds
1 fresh hot chili, finely sliced
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 bunch of spring onions, finely chopped
juice of 1 lemon
2 handfuls of fresh cilantro, chopped
salt and fresh pepper to taste
1 cup whole milk yogurt for serving
Melt the butter in a large pot, and saute the onion, ginger and garlic for about 5 minutes. Add the curry powder, fresh chili and mustard seeds and cook for a few more minutes. Add the tomatoes, spring onions and lemon juice.and heat through. Add the rice to the pan and then the fish, breaking it into large flakes as you do. Add in the cilantro, reserving a bit for a garnish. Stir gently to mix everything together and heat through. Season with salt and fresh black pepper, and taste it to see if you need more lemon juice; rice dishes need lots of seasoning. Top the kedgeree with the egg quarters, garnish with more cilantro and serve the yogurt on the side. - Like so many dishes, kedgeree will only get better hanging out in the fridge if you want to make it ahead.

Gun Control Reaction
By: Kevin Flanigan
Updated: January 16, 2013
Reaction from the sportsmen and gun customers in one Blair County gun store was strongly against the latest moves of the Obama administration. The sportsmen collect and use their guns say this latest Washington effort to curb gun violence misses its mark.
Customers lined up at the gun counter of the Allegheny Trade Company say the ambitious gun control push delivered in Washington takes aim at the wrong group of people. Restricting the types of weapons legitimate customers can purchase and carry was seen by them as a step in the wrong direction.
Among the gun buyers, any move to place additional restriction on the types or configuration of legally available weapons places the blame for gun violence in the wrong place. The local supporters of gun rights say they will be doing all they can to keep some of new arms control proposals from becoming law.

Race Tightens Up After 'Good Week' for Romney, RNC Chair Priebus Says
If Mitt Romney stays within 3 percentage points of President Barack Obama in the polls, the GOP candidate will take Wisconsin, Republican National Committee chairman tells volunteers in Waukesha.
If the polls show Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney within 3 percentage points of Barack Obama in Wisconsin, he will win the state, Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, told volunteers in Waukesha Saturday.
"If it is within a field goal, we are going to win this race," he said during a stop at the GOP campaign office.
So, Priebus was quick to smile when he learned Saturday evening that a new Public Policy Polling poll showed Romney within 2 percentage points of Obama in Wisconsin. Two weeks ago, the same poll had Obama 7 points ahead.
"Don't forget, that is even a Democratic poll, too," Priebus said in an interview with Patch. "So, the Democrats say we are only down by two, I think we are doing pretty well. I feel pretty happy about it.
"The thing that matters is Nov. 6. We had a good week and we are going to have a good week next week," Priebus added. "We just have to continue to keep our heads down, win every day and talk about how to save this country, talk about the miserable record of Barack Obama and what Mitt Romney wants to bring to the table."
"I wouldn't be here, we wouldn't be spending millions of dollars on TV, volunteers and resources in Wisconsin, if we thought that it was a lost cause."
Volunteers have been busy at the Republican Party of Waukesha County's headquarters on Pearl Street in Waukesha, making phone calls to encourage Wisconsin residents to vote for Romney.
Statewide, volunteers have already made six times the amount of phone calls and 60 times the amount of door-to-door visits than they did in the 2008 presidential election, according to Priebus.
While Wisconsin is considered a swing state, it hasn't voted for a Republican president since 1984. But efforts are heavily concentrated in Wisconsin following Republican Gov. Scott Walker's win in a recall election and Romney selecting Janesville Congressman Ryan as his running mate.
"I wouldn't be here, we wouldn't be spending millions of dollars on TV, volunteers and resources in Wisconsin, if we thought that it was a lost cause," Priebus said. "We always knew that it was close."
'A Good Week'
Obama was showing a strong lead in Wisconsin just two weeks ago. Public Policy Polling had Obama over Romney in the state by 7 percentage points. As is the case in other swing states, Obama's has stumbled in the polls following his performance in Wednesday's debate against Romney.
"I feel good about where we are headed in the campaign," said Priebus, a Wisconsin native. "Obviously, we had a good week last week. Governor Romney did a fabulous job on Wednesday night.
"I think, No. 1, Obama didn't show up and he has got a record he can't defend. He is sort of a deer in the headlights when it comes to his own record," he added.
Priebus said he is looking forward to seeing Ryan take on Democrat Joe Biden in Thursday's vice presidential debate. Ryan is "extremely bright" and understands the issues facing the nation, Priebus said.
While the Republicans shouldn't discount Biden, Priebus said he's not concerned about Thursday's debate because "I believe in Paul."
"I am looking forward to my good buddy Paul on Thursday night," Priebus said. "I don't think, Joe Biden, (that) you can take him lightly. I know he puts his foot in his mouth a lot, but he is a relatable guy, he is pretty quick on his feet, so I think it is going to be an interesting debate — obviously with two very different styles."
Unemployment Numbers
While some Republican skeptics have questioned the Bureau of Labor Statistics release of unemployment data showing unemployment has dropped to 7.8 percent nationwide, Priebus wouldn't say whether he thinks the numbers are skewed to provide political help toward the Obama campaign.
But he does question whether the unemployment drop is enough to move the country forward.
"Economists across America are debating the accuracy of these numbers," Priebus said. "But my position is that if in fact they are accurate, I think it is always better for this country to have news like that.
"I would be foolish to think it is not better to have more people employed — of course it is. But the fact is, the overall picture is not good for this country," he said. "This president didn't fulfill the mission and the promises that he made in regard to unemployment. Even if 7.8 (percent) is the right number, if he is celebrating that number, he is living on a different planet."
Democratic Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said the numbers show Obama has been able to right the economic ship since he took office in 2008.
"We were headed into the worst economic decline of the previous administration and that has now been reversed," he said. "What does Mitt Romney want to do? He wants to employ the exact same policies that got us into this mess in the first place. After his party drove the car into the ditch, he's asking for the keys back."
Barrett and Big Bird
Priebus stopped by Waukesha before heading to a GOP fundraiser in Milwaukee that raised about $2.8 million for the campaign, according to the Journal Sentinel. Ryan was the headliner at the event, which also was attended by U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson and 200 guests.
Before the fundraiser got under way at the Pfister Hotel, Democratic Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett held a press conference just blocks away to announce his support for another public figure who has recently been thrust into the political arena.
Riffing off a remark made by Romney in the presidential debate Wednesday, Barrett stood side by side with Big Bird from "Sesame Street," casting his official endorsement for the children's television character.
Barrett said his children grew up watching "Sesame Street," as do most other households across the country.
"Over 80 percent of children in this country watch 'Sesame Street' and watch Big Bird, so why in God's name would he want to go after 'Sesame Street' when the people in this country want him to go after Wall Street?" Barrett asked.
When asked about Ryan's contribution to the Romney campaign, Barrett said Wisconsin initially saw a bump in support for Romney, but that support has waned as people learn more about Ryan's budget proposal and his plan to overhaul Medicare. Even Senate candidate Tommy Thompson is backing away from "the Ryan plan," Barrett said.
"I think now as people are looking more closely at that plan, they are saying, 'Wait a minute. We don't want this," Barrett said.

After the Paul Ryan versus Joe "the human gaffe' machine" Biden debate later this week, the polls will be even more favorable for Romney/ Ryan.

Just love the way you guys dimiss this guy - at your peril.
Sure you might think Barrett appearing with Big Bird is lame. Bear in mind across the street, Ryan was pandering to millionaires and giving us the bird.
9:14 am on Sunday, October 7, 2012
Big Bird costs the tax payers 1/2 of a billion dollars per year, I can buy chicken for $0.49/pound at Pick-n-Save. It's really not about the bird, it's about the principle, but Barrett would never understand that.

Keith Schmitz - you really have a weak argument when you accuse Ryan of "pandering to millionaires." Did you not see the ticket prices for the event? They were affordable for a fundraiser. And please tell me how you justify Obama regularly jetting on Air Force One to LA (he just did yesterday) to have fundraisers in the private homes of Hollywood millionaires? duh
2:38 pm on Monday, October 8, 2012
A pal from Racine County confirms that Paul Ryan is best in a partisan room where the talking points are spooned up like crème brûlée. So we'll see.
Personally, I'd like to see a phalanx of fact checkers present at every debate. Just to keep everyone honest. And a return to the time bell. The candidates should have a clear framework within to work/speak, but not one that allows for rote responses. If they can't articulate their response independently and cogently, I think that's something everyone needs to know about. If missiles (God forbid) are in the air, I (and I'm sure everyone else does too) want someone in the Oval Office who can make common sense decisions.

I'm not buying what the republicans are advertising. They presume that people are not going to examine the debates. Who was lying and on what. We all know the media and polls are tainted with cronyism monies. Can they buy the USA once again? Another Bush for their puppet. Romney with his flip flopping dance has already demonstrated his ambitions to dance to any melody the 1% chooses their Pied Piper to play.
Mitt will Not show his IRS Tax information! Mitt does Not know where his monies are ! Mitt does NOT know how it is invested ! Mitt does Not know when he quit Bain ! Well Americans know what all these KNOTS add up to, and it is Not presidential material.
Failed to complete application for the job of president. Just as he did for governor.
Observe Romney's lie on the deficit in the debate;

How long for the Great depression? 13 years. Obama's Great Recession 27 months. In spite of the Great Republican "Party First" USA second Obstructionist.
Obama's actions helped restore equity markets post a gain of 105% through April of 2011. During Obama's first 27 months in office.
Making up most of the losses with gains to the DOW of 17.2%, S&P 500 25.3% and the NASDAQ 31.7%. Compare this to say Reagan first 3.3 years in office Reagan's gains to ; DOW 6.86%, S&P 500 6.16%, NASDAQ 7.02%. Obama has surpassed most of his predecessors, including Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan!
Not to mention, Obama does it with the slowest increase in spending.
Obama has had the slowest growth in spending of any President in the past 60 years: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2012/may/23/facebook-posts/viral-facebook-post-says-barack-obama-has-lowest-s/ Pulitzer Awarded Site

I would also add that World War II boosted employment/productivity.
Bernard Forand
7:30 am on Tuesday, October 9, 2012
Agree WW II increased productivity. It was a contributing factor to Truman's {D} surplus annual budget surplus! One of two presidents that produced surplus. Both were {D}. Obama had 6 months of control of the congress and was able to reduce the $1.4 Trillion annual deficit budget to $1.2 Trillion. Exhibiting another potential for a financial surplus president. Republicans since Kennedy died have used that to set unprecedented filibusters' to stop Obama from achieving that goal. By comparing the two parties on a 80 year cycle we can see just who gives us more bang for our bucks. Democrats had a respectable average return of 9.6% as when compared to republicans 0.58% average returns.
Now if we could return control to Obama, he may yet pull it off.

Your comment is vague. ID of those you are referring to would be appreciated. Your dialog on independents is less than appreciated. As to the rest Pffft.
This I deduce is more to your liking. Caught on tape! Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson addressed the Tea Party recently and said this:
"Who better than me, that's already finished one of the entitlement programs [as governor], to come up with programs to do away with Medicaid and Medicare?"
Emulates Romney's 47% under the bus ideology. We can expect he will be for Vouchers to feed the Vultures . Imagine had Bush gotten his way and passed his bill for Privatization of S.S. All those pensions would have been wiped out by the Great Recession. Our Main Street USA would have been littered with the homeless retirees. Desolation Row would once again thrive. Ahhh The republican way.. Right Johnny? You and Tommy have it all figured it out.

If people will just take a look at him and study his plan hes like Ron Paul on so many issues. You will not hear Gary name heard every 6 times that Obama or Romney are mentioned. Why is that hmmmm lets see..... All the main stream media excluded him from polls and debates now if thats corruption i do not no what is.

3:05 pm on Monday, October 8, 2012
The 'falseness' of Munson's statement depends on the poll. Rasmussen indeed has Romney up 49 to 47 as stated. Citing the different results from a different poll doesn't make his statement false...
Bernard Forand
5:57 am on Tuesday, October 9, 2012
Cow Dung; Its well known Nationally that the Rasmussen polls are illusional delusional fabrication polls. That's why they now take all the major polling agencies and tabulate from their combined annalist. Then we get a supposedly more accurate picture of what's going on. Factors that may corrupt the final analysts, would come from vast sources of monies that have been contributed to their analyst conclusions'.
So we are back to believe ½ what you see and nothing of what you hear. 49 to 47 is a distorted assessment therefore at best we could say its mostly false.

Republican Leaders Agree that Mitt Romney Cannot Be Trusted
"We are going to cut taxes on everyone across the country by 20 percent, including the top 1 percent. " (This is contrary to what Romney said in his first debate.)
– Mitt Romney, Republican politician and presidential candidate
"This is someone (Romney) who doesn't have a core. He has been on both sides of almost every single issue in the past 10 years. "
–Rick Santorum, Republican leader and former Republican Senator
"He's certainly beings dishonest about his own record? When he says that he had the endorsement of the NRA, he did not. When he says he didn't raise taxes, and in fact, there were $500 million in fees raised during this time. When he talks about my record or John McCain's. "He's making up stuff, it's just incredible. In Arkansas, we call it DISHONESTY."
- Mike Huckabee, Fox News commentator and former Governor
(P.S - Sound familiar with Romney's dishonest tactics in his first debate?)
"This is someone (Romney) who will say anything to get elected."- Rick Santorum
–Rick Santorum, Republican leader and former Republican Senator
Republican leaders agree – Romney Can't Be Trusted! Most voters agree!

Democrats and Leftists live in the secularized echo-chamber of Big Labor-controlled Democrat Political Party ideology. Democrats are taught to ignore the pictures of the Muslim horde dragging Obama's Ambassador Steven's raped & dead body through the streets. Democrats ignore the evil lies Obama & his Secretary of State tell attempting to cover their malfeasance. Democrats ALWAYS stick to the talking points of the Democrat Political Party line.

In your first debate, you said you didn't plan a huge tax cut for all Americans, including millionaires and billionaires. However, this is contrary to your own videotaped comments a few months ago when you said:
"We are going to cut taxes on everyone across the country by 20 percent, including the top 1 percent. " http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJzUQwJFW7k
Which is the truth, Mr. Romney, and why did you lie?
Mr. Romney, you said that your healthcare plan will cover pre-existing conditions, while leading news media and your own campaign have said this is FALSE. Why did you LIE?
Mr. Romney, you own or have owned several bank accounts in Switzerland, the Cayman Islands and Bermuda, and you have control over where those funds go, as you have admitted. Why are you betting against America with those foreign funds? And, are you receiving any funds, directly or indirectly, from Communist China in support of your election?

Look's like Romney's debate bump was smaller than most people thought and not a game changer:

Watt , I have to agree with you. Think it has something to do with Romney's amount of false, mostly false and distorted statements. Not to mention his demonstration of flip flopping on the his tax issues and now on the 47%. Just keeps flip flopping to the tune of the Pied Piper. Romney's soul is with the cronyism. Although Obama did point a truth about Romney and what his plans, that may very well affect your children. Imagine having your children outsourced to foreign soils to help fill the coffers of the 1%.

Ahhh the republican way… open your wallets and be prepared to sacrifice your children to the great god of greed.

Romney has no shame. He will even use a dead soldier for his political gain.
Mother of Navy SEAL killed in Libya demands Romney stop talking about him in stump speech http://thkpr.gs/PXJB7y
...Boston's local NBC affiliate WHDH reported this morning that Doherty's mother objected to Romney using the story in a campaign speech. "I don't trust Romney. He shouldn't make my son's death part of his political agenda. It's wrong to use these brave young men, who wanted freedom for all, to degrade Obama," said Barbara Doherty. WHDH even suggested that it reached out to Romney's campaign for comment, reporting that "there was no response from the Romney camp."
Yet Romney used the same story in stump speech today in Ohio. Watch it: .....

mornimist –
Willard loves the middleclass and he will use what he can from them to GET THE POWER… It hardly matters what Mrs. Barbara Doherty, the mother of the dead Navy SEAL, Glen Doherty, wants or says; It is ALL ABOUT WILLARD!
Remember, Willard fought the entire Vietnam War from Paris, France, so it isn't like the man hasn't actually been deeply involved in the combat theatre…
