America votes and all TV stations around the world talk about it, which, in my opinion is completely exaggerated. I don't care who the next American puppet will be however I have the suspicion that the jackass Willard Mitt Romney has more interest in the wellbeing of his Wall-Street pimps and his Zionist whore-friends with no time to confuse his mind with things like liberty, democracy, justice. As I see it, Romney is mostly the equivalent of McCain, only without his war trauma and frustrations but with a hell of a lot more hypocrisy. Obama on the other hand is a coward, he promised change but offered more of the same both in internal and foreign affairs, him too, being a pawn of Wall Street.
I feel sorry for the condition in which the US is now, somewhere between being the personification of universal ideals and a land of prosperity and justice that acts like a beacon for the rest of the world, and a fascistic corporate despotism with half retarded and the other half moderately educated people, feeding their minds and bodies with kitsch and toxins, who act like they've got it all figured out and all others are "third world". Such a long sentence, I know, but I couldn't risk making it short. America should never forget that the immigrant is her blood, the moment she becomes an "old world" state there will be no turning back. What is an old world state you may ask, well, I'll save this for another time.
We don't know exactly who has power in the United States, is it the president? It seems logical to think so, but power isn't only the opportunity to sign laws, propose policies or declare wars... as you know, a machine is beginning to be used at the White House for that (signing laws not declaring wars... yet). Then maybe the president decides the direction the nation will go, in a democracy this should be, in theory, dictated by the Parliament but instead of this we have dozens of official and occult interest groups, research associations, intelligence services and think tanks which all want to impose their vision on what should be done, where, when and how. Economic issues are discussed with those in question, one hundred years ago they would have been the industrialists, now they are the Wall Street barons fighting for a piece of the pie. You can call it lobby for short, I, being an East European, will call it corruption.
We can go on and on and still not resolve anything. The "Occupy" movement, where did it lead? One can argue that even this kind of socio-political events are somehow orchestrated by various groups (also, don't forget the Tea Party). I may be overly pessimistic but America should shake off its totalitarian tendencies and start concentrating on important things like education, health, research and space exploration.

Product Type: Oxo Kitchenware
Newest Review: ... frame with black rubber handles. The handles are big enough to fit my giant 'man hands' in and are lovely and soft which makes it easy ... more
Fabulous to the core !!
Oxo Good Grips Apple Divider
Member Name: jazzypinkpuppet
Oxo Good Grips Apple Divider
Date: 10/01/12
Advantages: easy to use, hard wearing and good value for money
Disadvantages: Can be a bit fiddly to clean
I had been using a similar type of corer and slicer that I had bought from Ikea several months before, unfortunately it really wasn't very good and I still needed to use a knife to slice the partially cut apple. When I saw this Good grips apple slicer in Debenhams I thought I would give it a try. Here is how I got on with it.......
The slicer/corer comes with very little packaging which is always a plus in my mind. It is just tied to a cardboard hanger with the instructions and company info on the back.
The slicer has a white plastic outer frame with black rubber handles. The handles are big enough to fit my giant 'man hands' in and are lovely and soft which makes it easy and comfortable to use. The blades are made of stainless steel . It is designed with eight segments in an outer circle to slice the apple and a small circle in the middle to core it. The segments are evenly sized giving you perfectly slices of apple every time you use it, so great for making a tarte tatin or apple flan.
The blades are really really sharp and on more than one occasion I have had a near miss, once was very near and took my nail off, a millimetre closer and it would have been my finger. :-0
I find the slicer and corer very simple to use, you really can't go wrong (cutting off fingers aside !!) All you need to do is place the corer over the top of your apple and gently push down. You do not need to use much force, it glides through the apple with ease. You are left with the core and eight juicy segments of apple.
It is a bit fiddly to wash as some of the apple skin gets stuck between the blades, I usually need to use a brush to get it clean. It can be put in the dish washer if you are lucky enough to have one.
I use my corer several times a day, my children usually bite into an apple two or three times and then throw it away because they are scared of eating the pips, (my lovely uncle once told them a tree would grow in their tummy) by slicing it they eat the whole apple, it's also great for adding a couple of slices to yoghurt or porridge and brilliant for making pies, crumbles and fruit salads.
As it is made by OXO good grips you will be able to find this nifty gadget in quite a few shops, such as John Lewis, Lakeland and Robert Dyers. I bought my slicer from Debenhams for about £8. It has lasted six months so far and is still as good as new. I love it and think it was worth every penny
Summary: A fabulous gadget that I couldn't live without

text: I write these words to be found, I miss that you are not around. I wonder if you are okay, That is what I wish to say. I just wanted you to know, The sun shall shine the light will show. That you never have to go it all alone, A house, does not make a home. I think about all I lost, I see the price, what it cost. I seem to do a little better today, It's been some time since I lost my way. The sun warms up, it stills my mind, I try to leave the past behind. I just can't go there anymore, What comes next I can't be sure. The day lingers, the wind blows, The world still spins, the river flows. I find some peace inside myself, I pull my life off of the shelf. Life goes on and I still care, I look, but find no one there. Still I hope for something more, I gather the pieces up from the floor. I hope someday that we can talk, Side by side like we used to walk. Talk about how things now are, Then turn and wish upon a star.

charkmandler said | September 2nd 2013 @ 4:24am | Report commentPerhaps Jackson (if one was cynical), they could put forth that in the finals for the Melbourne AFL, the worst outcome would be more non-Melbourne teams. The play by play team has made that clear.

bilbo said | September 2nd 2013 @ 5:24am | Report commentSo JC what you're saying is that if Freo were already in the finals and playing against Eagles in a last round Derby, that Freo wouldn't rest 10 of its players?
To highlight the hilarity of this view, Freo have always suffered the perception that winning the Derby was the ultimate. Now when they are in the finals you delude yourself the same perception? Me thinks – wet behind the ears.
Oh and BTW, what a cynical Vic club solution to the inevitable and irredeemable 'last round dead rubber' : consign the stand out Derbies/Showdowns to 'dead rubber' status. That type of thinking makes the non-Vic clubs bristle, a bristling which is best served cold against a smug Vic club on Grand Final Day. -
September 2nd 2013 @ 9:15am
Winston said | September 2nd 2013 @ 9:15am | Report commentI actually think it was a really good round of footy even compared to many regular season rounds. The Kangaroos Magpies game was a dead rubber but who can say that wasn't a good game. The Swans Hawks game really was a dead rubber – and both teams knew it too hence they both rested key players – but not only was it a great a game, it also provided food for thought for everyone because they knew the real thing is next week. The GWS and GC game was significant for so many reasons too – Sheedy's farewell match, the Coleman Medal and avoiding the wooden spoon – can't exactly say there wasn't any incentive in there for GWS to win. Even the Saints Freo match – I doubt any Saints supports would have complained, and as for Freo supporters, I'm pretty sure none of them would have cared about the match other than praying for no injuries.
By the same theory, if this was the EPL, only a couple of teams can challenge for the title each year, and even for the incentive of the Champions League, usually you race for 4th normally only involves 2-3 teams. Add to that because of the number of games throughout the year, it is completely expected that good teams will field 2nd string sides regularly. I would have thought by comparison we have nothing to complain about on this front!

One day before, Cori, Broski, and Frus decided to take a nice weekend off from farm work to spend a quality weekend together in a rented cabin. They all pitched in their dirty money together and bought the weekend at the "Sunset Cabin", owned by an old man who wore flannel in a way that makes a lumberjack seem smashing.
Broski drove the van, while Frus took shotgun and Cori sat behind Broski —Broski wouldn't allow Cori to shotgun out of fear; the further back, the better. The two hour long drive was mainly quiet. However, much was happening that could make any special snowflake squeem with awkward convulsions.
Cori kept staring into the eyes of Broski in the rear view mirror. How gorgeous they were, little orbs of love. The feelings inside of the spider queen rose up from within her. She wanted to tell Broski all the lust she had for his manly beard. She wanted to feel its scruff on her delicate Mexican face.
Broski quickly glanced in the rear view mirror to see if there was any body behind them before he changed lanes when his eyes caught Cori's gaze. A sudden flare of fiery passion flickered in his nono square. No, I must not. Lone wolf. Lone wolf. Broski put on his shades to avoid seeing Cori's eyes and to prevent her from seeing his.
Meanwhile, Frus was stoned out of his mind, casually playing with his scrotum. Luckily, everyon else was too preoccupied with being awkward to notice. But man did it feel good, Frus thought. He was thinking about Cori's voluptuous tits. Where was she, anyways?
Cori was still calmly sitting behind Broski, trying to test what he would do if she advanced on him. She slid her hand under the back support of the chair, sliding it to Broski's jeans covered butt. She quickly poked it, feeling the manly tush upon her index.
Broski yelled loudly, braking and swerving on the country roads.
Cori eeped, slightly terrified. She withdrew her phalanges and grabbed a hold of her seat belt.
Broski's heart rate climbed dramatically.
What the fuck, what the fuck, WHAT THE FUCK.
Broski brought the car to a screeching halt. Frus looked around, dazed. Broski panted heavily, trying to make sense of what happened.
I'm just going to drive… only 4 miles left.
Cori smirked as the car sped up again. Maybe this could work out. Maybe she could have her desire after all.
Broski cautiously drove to the address, trying to forget, bleach, forget. Forget it. Lalalala not listening. Frus's high began to wear off as they reached the abode.
"Well, we are here." Broski stated simply. He put the car in park, turned off the engine, and practically jumped out of the van. He grabbed his backpack and duffle bag from the trunk and ran inside.
Cori slithered out of the van, carrying her rape suitcase. Nobody knew the devious contents of this suitcase. However, there was enough lubricant to make a desert lizard's armpit seem soft and soothing. She climbed through an open door into the cabin's kitchen counter.
Frus stumbled out of the front seat and grabbed his dick. Fuck he wanted to jack off. He was so going to just jerk off forever, dude. Cum over everything and shit. Cum on Cori's sweet lips.
Frus fell over into sleep. Broski looked outside, intrigued by the thud he heard. Seeing Frus, he dragged him back in the cabin, trying not to notice the sizable bulge the batman possessed, as seen through his loose sweatpants. Brocode, man. Brocode.
Everyone kept to themselves until it was time for dinner. Broski brought along a box of noodles for dinner. He lit the fire on the gas stove, smelling the old fumes. The pot of water Frus put on the stove quickly heated to a boil, steam rising up from the bubbling water and caressing his face.
Cori sat at the table, watching both of them from behind. God they were so manly. They were so strong and edgy. If only she could be squeezed through them with butter all over her body. Oh yes, steamy. That would be grand.
"Pasta's done, guys". Broski called out, grabbing some butter for the noodles. When Broski placed it on the table and looked away to bring over the bowl of pasta, Cori quickly snatched it and put it in her rape suitcase. This would serve well for her nightly masturbation rituals. She did take out an imitation stick of butter. However, it was made from her creamed vaginal secretions. She placed this where the butter was. No one would know the difference.
"Aw great man, butter" Frus said as he picked up the stick. He cut a healthy portion and slathered his pasta with it. He took a bite, savoring the sweet creamy taste.
Broski took a couple of noodles and ate them with his hands before calling it quits. "If any of you guys need me I'll be reading a comic in my room" Broderick declared. He walked off to his room and grabbed a Captain America comic. Hidden inside was photo-shopped picture of Cori's head on a busty japanese anime girl. He wanted her so bad, but could not admit it. If only he could wrap his palms around her gorgeous face, maybe he could tell her his urges. His urges to strip her down and take control of her petite body to shove in his manhood in her womanhood. Broski felt his phallus harden. Oh god, I cant stop.
Broski whipped out his pea-shooter and began to feel his shaft. He wanted Cori's lips on his rounded head. He closed his eyes and began to masturbate. Ohhh Cooooori
Little did Broski know, Cori, the great spider queen, had stealthily creeped into the room. She was clinging to the corner of the room, holding the ceiling and ready to pounce. You're mine now, baka.
Cori leaped from the hiding spot and straddled Broski, opening her mandibles and gobbling up on Broski's stick. Finally, the sweet taste of the goatman's penis was wrapped around her tongue.
Broski was paralyzed by fear. He let out a cry of terror.
"Gahadarahhahaaaaaa!" He yelped. His wildest dreams we're coming true! But yet he felt so naughty. So inconceivably naughty. His penis could not resist but pulse in her mouth.
"Oh yes Broderick, so big and manly" she whispered as her lips slid down the cock of Mr. B.
Frus, hearing the commotion, burst into the room.
"Holy whore house, bat man!" he cried.
"I don't even know! Don't ask me!" Broski exclaimed.
"Fuck, I don't care. I'm getting in on this." Frus interrupted, removing his trousers. He did not know how this was happening but it was totally cool. Drugs, pasta, and a threesome? What more could an orphan want —other than parents.
Frus's thick six inched member sprung out as his underwear hit his ankles. Tonight he was going to breed the spiders, you could say. Far off in the distance, Sam's faggotry senses tingled. But he had no idea why.
Frus moved up to Cori's exposed bum, putting his hands on those sweet cheeks. "Come here, waifu" He said as he prodded his warm dick into her soft moist pussy. The teeth lining her arachnid vagina grazed his penis. It strangely felt good on his tender man-meat.
Cori made her squealing growl of mating as she felt her insides filled with his cock.
"Hrnnnnnnn Fruschan, you make me so moist"
Broski watched as Frus pumped Cori's cunt with his shaft. Was this gay? It was a threeway. I guess threeways are still straight, according to the brocode.
Broski was enjoying what Cori was doing to him, despite it being terrifying. He slowly put his hand on the back of her head and gently pushed it down on his cock. That's how they did it in his Japanese hentai, at least.
Together, Broski and Frus fucked either side of Cori as she moaned with delight. Frus went harder and faster until he could not hold his cum any longer. He shot out a load of semen in her pussy, squirting the fluids into her lubrication. He breathed heavily as he finished fucking the spider queen.
Broski was not far behind and soon fired a stream of milky fluid in her hair.
But something was happening inside of Cori. Being inseminated, the egg laying process started. Silky eggs slid out of her vagina, tearing her hole apart, just one after another. They formed a gooey pile.
"Oh god" Broski whispered, wide eyed.
The eggs, the size of a grapefruit, quickly hatched into demon spiderlings with Cori's face. They scurried about, crazed. They were hungry and needed food.
They spotted the male progenitor, Frus. Yes, there was the key master. He must be devoured. They started to jump to his crotch, swarming like a cluster of crabs. One pinched his dick, injecting venom. The others soon followed. The spider demon babies gnawed the oozing flesh as Frus screamed in pain.
Broski screamed like a little girl as he witnessed this. "Oh god, I can't stand seeing this".
"You won't for long" Cori replied, biting off his head. Blood squirted all around the head of the bed. Broski's corpse flailed as life left the man's body.
The spiderlings had finished eating the meat off Frus's abdomen and moved up to his face. He was immobile and unable to defend himself from the biting. They slowly chewed his entire body up, until there was nothing left but bone.
"Go, my spawn. Go to Mexico, the place of my birth, and rain terror." She commanded before falling down and dying in the bed.
The spiders left and ventured to Mexico, where they killed everyone and spent the rest of their days updating MSPA, the true source of evil on Earth.

On Augmented Lagrangian Decomposition Methods for Multistage Stochastic Programs
A general decomposition framework for large convex optimization problems based on augmented Lagrangians is described. The approach is then applied to multistage stochastic programming problems in two different ways: by decomposing the problem into scenarios and by decomposing it into nodes corresponding to stages. Theoretical convergence properties of the two approaches are derived and a computational illustration is presented.Download Info

text: Hi, I'm new to After Effects. I am trying to render a 10-sec, multi-layered 3D text logo, to import into Final Cut Pro Express. After that, it will go to YouTube. Everything looks great in Preview. But when I render it, all I get is a gigantic, oversized closeup of whatever is in the center of the composition's screen! I have rendered a different multi-layered composition and it came out normal. So I don't think it's the Preferences. Details: AE CS5.5 on Mac 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). Using an older 2007 version Mac Pro 8-core, with 12GB RAM. Composition contains 3D and 2D animated text, and still jpeg photos. No error messages. All content shows up on the preview screen. But, when rendered, the screen is zoomed in to the middle of the composition. There are no third party codecs or effects. Have tried Open GL both off, and on. Same result. Tried different resolutions of rendering, etc. No luck. Please, does anyone have a solution? Thanks in advance.

The Australian government has made a second direct appeal to Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum to relation to an Australian man in home detention for four-and-a-half years on property fraud charges.
The letter was written by Julia Gillard days before she was ousted as prime minister on Wednesday and called on Sheikh Mohammed to order the Dubai prosecutors to drop their appeal against Marcus Lee's acquittal.
In May, the Ruler's Court found Lee not guilty of being involved in an alleged property scam that duped Australian company Sunland into paying $12m for a block of land in the Dubai Waterfront project, which was being developed by master developer Nakheel.
Lee's senior colleague Matt Joyce was sentenced to 10 years' jail and fined $25m. He is appealing the decision.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Gillard's letter was recently hand-delivered by Australian minister Warren Snowdon and Ambassador to the UAE Pablo Kang.
Gillard also personally appealed to Sheikh Mohammed last year after an Australian court dismissed a parallel case brought by Sunland.
In his judgement Victorian Supreme Court Justice Clyde Croft denounced Sunland's "fabrications" and claimed the company had an "ulterior motive" for bringing the case – to support its fraud allegations in Dubai.
Despite the Australian ruling, Lee and Joyce were found guilty in Dubai in May.
The men spent nine months in jail in 2009 and have been under virtual house arrest since then. They and their wives are unable to leave Dubai because their passports have been confiscated.
"After being in the Dubai court system for so long, and following the extreme disappointment on learning of the decision by the prosecutor to appeal against my full acquittal, we are encouraged by our situation now being raised at such senior levels,'' Lee and his wife Julie told the Sydney Morning Herald.
Lee's Australian lawyer told the SMH: "They have sold everything they own and, after 4 1/2 years, they are under incredible financial and physical stress."
"[But] we remain confident that the appeal court will also find that Marcus Lee committed no crime and was just doing his job''.
Joyce's legal team also has requested a discussion with the Prime Minister's office but is yet to receive a response, according to the SMH.
Joyce is seeking to continue his bail so he can continue to live with his wife, Angela Higgins, and three children in Dubai while he awaits his appeal.

I just found this discussion and it has me excited to do some upgrades to my Stinger as well. My regular FPV plane is in the shop for maintenance so I strapped a camera to my Stinger yesterday. The plane responded well and actually settled down in flight but you could tell right away the extra weight was there on launch. Check this out and enjoy!!

I crashed mine last night, veered left and stuck in the ground, reading up on here I'm now confused.....
My 3s is pushed as far back as it will to get the CG correct (5mm behind the finger holes)..this is a stock setup, looking at the piccys on here and your packs are all fully forward? It must be me so just to be sure I'm doing it right - draw a line 5mm behind the finger holes to the wings, turn it upside down and put my fingers on the lines, move pack as required..is this right? |
Jun 20, 2012, 02:39 PM | |
As do I, my CG falls roughly in the middle of the finger holes, 5mm behind the finger holes sounds a lot to me like a recipe for disaster. It would put the CG roughly 20 mm behind where it's supposed to be. It would make the model extremely pitch sensitive and make it a real handful.

Installed the fix gear on mine, have not flown it yet. My field has a hard surface runway.
Have 5-6 flights on mine, but not into hand launching it. The CG on these things are a mystery, if you check other posting they are at different points. Will set mine to the finger hold mid point and see how it works. The temps in Okla are hitting upper 90s now, hopefully the ESC holds up. I updated to a 40Amp also. |

How are you guys using 2200 batts?I tried to use some 2200's and it would crash at every hand launch.I can fly it with my 1600's no problem.I just ordered a new Stinger today as the first one was destroyed.I wish i could have found just the fuselage as the wings and tail wings are in perfect condition.The nose on the fuse has been repaired toooo many times.Guess i'll stick with the 1600's with this one.

it's something that you are doing wrong and not the plane.. most here are flyign with 2200 batts 3 and 4s |
Jun 23, 2012, 02:54 AM | |
My handlaunches were a hit or miss with 3S.
I upgraded to 4S and it is so much easier now. I'm flying it with a 4S 1800, which is about the same weight as my 3S 2200. If the plane rolls to one side upon launching, use the rudder to correct the roll. This is assuming you are flying mode 2 and launching with your right hand. |

Homeland Security:
Progress Has Been Made to Address the Vulnerabilities Exposed by 9/11, but Continued Federal Action Is Needed to Further Mitigate Security Risks
GAO-07-375: Published: Jan 24, 2007. Publicly Released: Jan 24, 2007.

Five years after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, GAO is taking stock of key efforts by the President, Congress, federal agencies, and the 9/11 Commission to strengthen or enhance critical layers of defense in aviation and border security that were directly exploited by the 19 terrorist hijackers. Specifically, the report discusses how: (1) commercial aviation security has been enhanced; (2) visa-related policies and programs have evolved to help screen out potential terrorists; (3) federal border security initiatives have evolved to reduce the likelihood of terrorists entering the country through legal checkpoints; and (4) the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and other agencies are addressing several major post-9/11 strategic challenges. The report reflects conclusions and recommendations from a body of work issued before and after 9/11 by GAO, the Inspectors General of DHS, State, and Justice, the 9/11 Commission, and others. It is not a comprehensive assessment of all federal initiatives taken or planned in response to 9/11. GAO is not making any new recommendations at this time since over 75 prior recommendations on aviation security, the Visa Waiver Program, and U.S. Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology (US-VISIT), among others, are in the process of being implemented. Continued monitoring by GAO will determine whether further recommendations are warranted.
While the nation cannot expect to eliminate all risks of terrorist attack upon commercial aviation, agencies have made progress since 9/11 to reduce aviation-related vulnerabilities and enhance the layers of defense directly exploited by the terrorist hijackers. In general, these efforts have resulted in better airline passenger screening procedures designed to identify and prevent known or suspected terrorists, weapons, and explosives from being allowed onto aircraft. Nevertheless, the nation's commercial aviation system remains a highly visible target for terrorism, as evidenced by recent alleged efforts to bring liquid explosives aboard aircraft. DHS and others need to follow through on outstanding congressional requirements and recommendations by GAO and others to enhance security and coordination of passengers and checked baggage, and improve screening procedures for domestic flights, among other needed improvements. GAO's work indicates that the government has strengthened the nonimmigrant visa process as an antiterrorism tool. New measures added rigor to the process by expanding the name-check system used to screen applicants, requiring in-person interviews for nearly all applicants, and revamping consular officials' training to focus on counterterrorism. Nevertheless, the immigrant visa process may pose potential security risks and we are reviewing this issue. To enhance security and screening at legal checkpoints (air, land, and sea ports) at the nation's borders, agencies are using technology to verify foreign travelers' identities and detect fraudulent travel documents such as passports. However, DHS needs to better manage risks posed by the Visa Waiver Program, whereby travelers from 27 countries need not obtain visas for U.S. travel. For example, GAO recommended that DHS require visa-waiver countries to provide information on lost or stolen passports that terrorists could use to gain entry. We also recommended that DHS provide more information to Congress on how it plans to fully implement US-VISIT--a system for tracking the entry, exit, and length of stay of foreign travelers. While much attention has been focused on mitigating the specific risks of 9/11, other critical assets ranging from passenger rail stations to power plants are also at risk of terrorist attack. Deciding how to address these risks--setting priorities, making trade-offs, allocating resources, and assessing social and economic costs--is essential. Thus, it remains vitally important for DHS to continue to develop and implement a risk-based framework to help target where and how the nation's resources should be invested to strengthen security. The government also faces strategic challenges that potentially affect oversight and execution of new and ongoing homeland security initiatives, and GAO has deemed three challenges in particular--information sharing, risk management, and transforming DHS as a department--as areas needing urgent attention. DHS and the Department of State reviewed a draft of this report and both agencies generally agreed with the information. Both agencies provided technical comments that were incorporated as appropriate.

Three held over Odisha steel plant explosion
Bhubaneswar, Nov 13 : Three company officials have been arrested for negligence after one person died and 15 others were injured in a blast furnace explosion Wednesday at a private steel plant in Odisha's Dhenkanal district, officials said.
"We have detained three senior company officials after complaints that the incident took place due to their negligence," District Superintendent of Police M.R. Mohanty told IANS.
The explosion occurred around 10 a.m. in a blast furnace at the steel plant of Bhushan Steel Ltd at Narendrapur village, 150 km from state capital Bhubaneswar.
All the victims were contractual labourers. Although firefighters brought the fire under control, the exact number of casualties and injured was still unknown, he said.
District Collector Rupa Roshan Sahu said the incident occurred while the furnace was being commissioned, and investigation was on to find out if the company had permission to do that.
A witness said more people could be buried under the debris.
The state government has ordered a probe into the explosion.
Hundreds of workers and local residents blocked a local road and staged a demonstration for several hours demanding action against plant officials.
The steel plant, commissioned in 2006, manufactures pig iron, billets, slabs and hot-rolled steel coil. It has an annual output of about 3.1 million tonnes. The company had announced to increase its capacity to six million tonnes by the end of this year.
A company official said the blast furnace was handled by foreign experts and such incidents were not uncommon.
However, an official of the state pollution control board said the company had been accused of violating pollution norms several times in the past.
The board had also served a closure notice to its captive power plant in August.

May 1, 2007 (WLS) -- He was convicted of running over a Chicago cab driver, but Michael Jackson says it was self-defense. Jackson has never publicly said he was sorry or given an interview -- until now.
The 39-year-old Jackson had claimed self-defense at his trial and believed that significant facts of the case were unfairly left out. Jackson will appeal the second-degree charge and said he believed there are facts about the case that were unfairly left out.
"I'm a victim of a failed system," Jackson said.
On February 4, 2005, Haroon Paryani drove Jackson to his Lakeview apartment and the two men had a heated argument over the $8 fare.
"He was irate," Jackson said of Paryani. "He kept screaming."
Jackson said his first mistake was telling the 62-year-old Paryani that he worked for the city as spokesman for the STD/HIV-AIDS division and would report him.
"I remember him turning and looking back at me and telling me that I wasn't going to tell anybody because he was going to f---g kill me," Jackson said.
As he testified in court, Jackson said the fight grew violent with Paryani slamming the cab door into him. Jackson admitted he was intoxicated but said he felt that he was fighting for his life. Jackson said he hopped into the driver's side of the cab and took control of the steering wheel.
"I think I hit a car, I still believe I hit a car," Jackson recalled. "I back up, straightened the car up and went forward. That's how they got three times."
Jackson said he still believes he did not know he hit Paryani until he went to a friend's house and saw the story on the news.
With credit for good behavior, Jackson could be released from Taylorville Correctional Center in Springfield by the end of 2010, but he said he has pinned all his hopes on an appeal.
Much of Jackson's appeal is based on evidence that was not heard until recently about Paryani's background.
The late Chicago newspaper columnist Mike Royko wrote that a $6 million lawsuit was filed against Paryani by a woman who said he beat her during an argument over cab fare in 1989. A jury found Paryani guilty and he was ordered to pay the woman.
But the jurors in Jackson's case never heard about it. Nor did the jurors hear about the city fining Paryani in 2001 and suspending him for 17 days for discourtesy, abusive behavior and unsafe driving. The judge in Jackson's case did not deem the cases brought on by Paryani to be relevant.
"I think that would have made a huge difference for people to hear that," Jackson said.
Jackson said his record of charity -- creating the Hearts Foundation to raise money for the Gay and Lesbian community -- was also suppressed. Jackson said that with his work and background he felt that probation would have been the appropriate sentence.
"At least he could have said I'm sorry, but he didn't," Paryani's daughter Keeran said in 2006. "That just shows what a horrific person he is."
While speaking to ABC7, Jackson did apologize but without taking responsibility.
"I apologize that he's passed away. I apologize that the man decided to attack me," Jackson said. "I can't imagine what it's like to lose a father. For that, I'm very sorry for their loss."
ABC7 made several requests to the prosecutor and the Paryani family for interviews. However, the family members said they would only talk if the prosecutor approved it. The prosecutor declined the interview as she stated they do not want anything to jeopardize the pending appeal.

Hi everyone, i am a DIY home renovator and love the challange of working on my 50yr old home but this time im stumped or more likely out of my league lol...
i recently bought a new washer dryer,front loading high efficiency and decided to renovate the laundry room when i pulled out the old washer i made a scary discovery... the old machine was drained directly into the floor drain (pic below). i know this is nowhere close to correct but it seems to work. my problem is the new machine is too low and wont slide over the PVC. id love to rip it completely apart and have it done correctly but budget and exsisting location makes that a very expensive wish list. i hate the idea of doing a similar setup but may have no option...i need he pipe to be a little lower in the floor...so my question is what can i expect to find if i dig up the area? my home is a slab construction with no basemeant. in the pic below the machine is drained into a floor darin with a cleanout just beside it. i can feel you all cringe as i suggest this but i was thinking if i cut out the tile and a bit of the concrete i may get the pipe to sit low enough...sorry i know its ridiculous but the laundry room was placed in this area many years ago and my options are very limited...any suggestions, critisism or laughter is very welcome
"Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events and small minds discuss people." --Eleanor Roosevelt
Hey Lee, That was definetly one of my options. i considered building a small platform. might be the best way to go!
IF you remove the washer drain, I think you will discover that it is the SECOND cleanout of the pair, NOT a floor drain. That system must have been installed by someone who failed "handyman" school. If it were a floor drain, it would be "double trapped" and would NOT drain.

Thanks hj, i will be removing it , but im trying to educate myself as much as i can before attempting a fix. wife would kill me if she couldnt do laundry hahah. i certainly respect your experiance... im sure your right!
can you help me understand why there would be two cleanouts so close together?
hmmm never mind i believe the light just came on lol ...allows the snake to travel easier in either direction?!

Exactly. And if you needed to use it, that washer connection would be blocking the one you would have to use.
Licensed residential and commercial plumber
I see quite a few problems beyond the "pvc" being in the way.
It's ABS piping by the way.
You do not need a "platform". All you need are two 2x4s, one under the legs on each side.
Licensed residential and commercial plumber
unfortunatly i couldnt leave it at a few 2x4's. it would drive me crazy. ill likely build a removable platform to cover the "ABS" and face it to match the cabinets. when the budget allows ill have it addressed properly by a professional.
thanks guys
If that is a clean-out with the cap off, there is nothing to prevent sewer gas, drain flies, etc, etc, from coming right into your house through the pipe.
I'm amazed that you have not smelled it in the past.
Last edited by Hackney plumbing; 01-29-2012 at 08:49 AM.
as pathetic as the setup is, amazingly theres nothing coming in. its sealed up pretty good and i can only assume the trap is doing its job. weve lived here five years and theres been no issue.
no disrespect to hj but i have a feeling its a drain vs a trap...the house is a small two story home with no basement. there are no other access points anywhere but those two spots. youd have to assume that was a drain..and yes im aware if i leave it covered and get aleak im screwed lol
All you need to do is look... if it is a clean out there will be threads for the cap.
If there are no threads and you look down the hole and see standing water, it it trapped.
This isn't rocket science.
Sometimes, you "do what you gotta do". If it worked, that is a 'good sign' despite the actual issues. IF there is a trap under the floor, that would be an issue in that double traps will drain slowly. I can't tell for sure how the pipe is connected to that fitting on the floor, but it would be great to be able to look down there and see if there is a trap. ( you would see standing water).
Now...how about a VENT!!!!! What is that white pipe that angles off to the left? Does it go to a sink??

Here is a nice free sample pack of stickers from Peta Kids. Actually we're cutting off the slogans on these and just keeping the cute stickers because they have messages like Meat's No Treat for Those You Eat, Be a Bunny's Honey, Cut Out Dissection, No Fur!, and Fish Are Friends, Not Food.
Maybe not.. the stickers look little sad…
Either way we all had a laugh about these, so depending what the other stickers look like we're not sure or not if this is kid friendly.

Friday Five: Catching up with Alumni- Jacob Stebel
"Friday Five" is a weekly short interview feature composed of five questions answered by students, alumni, and faculty. This week, we talked to alumnus Jacob Stebel from the class of 2011.
Since graduating from Stony Brook Jacob has travelled cross-country, written two feature-length screenplays, written and performed audio sketches for the PB&J Comedy Podcast, and is currently in the planning stages of producing a children's TV show. He currently attends Teachers College at Columbia University and is finishing up his final student-teaching placement at The Cinema School in the Bronx, where he teaches 11th graders Film Production, Screenwriting, and Literary/Film Theory.

In 2011, a group of Abraham Kuyper scholars and experts met to form an association that has come to be known as the Abraham Kuyper Translation Society. Kuyper College and Acton Institute, along with other Abraham Kuyper scholars, have taken a special interest in facilitating the translation of Abraham Kuyper's writings into English. Kuyper's works hold great potential to build intellectual capacity within the church, providing a compelling and constructive public theology to guide the development of a winsome and constructive social witness and cultural engagement.
The Society has already released several new translations, including Wisdom & Wonder, Rooted and Grounded, Common Grace Vol.1, Pt. 1, and Guidance for Christian Engagement in Government. Other works currently underway include the remaining parts of Kuyper's three-volume work on common grace (De gemeene gratie), his three-volume work on the lordship of Christ (Pro rege), and key Kuyper texts on the church.
The Society recognizes that translations are not ends in themselves. Hence, plans are also underway to produce an Abraham Kuyper Islam anthology that will focus on how deeply Kuyper's encounter with Islam toward the end of his life affected him and galvanized Pro rege, the last major work Kuyper completed in religion and theology. One anticipated result of translating Kuyper's writings on Islam is to reveal to twenty-first century Christians, particularly students, how Kuyper successfully engaged another world religion and another culture. It is also hoped that this anthology, along with the translation of Kuyper's other writings, will enable Christians to draw on their Reformation heritage and develop a sense of vocation as wide as creation itself.
Above all, the Society exists to further these and additional Kuyper scholarly projects that will help promote a holistic vision of God's renewal encompassing all things.

Acton Institute: Facebook | Twitter
Kuyper College: Facebook
For a full list of titles now available, see the project's page on the Christian's Library Press web site. Other details on current translation efforts are detailed below.
Common Grace: Comprising three volumes and totaling 1,700 pages, Common Grace is the capstone of Kuyper's public theology. The new translation will be released as nine separate books, the first of which, Noah-Adam, is now available. The next two parts of Volume 1 will be released in early 2014. The series will be translated by Nelson D. Kloosterman and Ed M. van der Maas and edited by Jordan J. Ballor and Stephen J. Grabill.
Pro Rege: Kuyper's three-volume work on the lordship of Christ will be published and edited precisely as Kuyper viewed them, i.e., as the application of his common grace volumes. Dr. Clifford Anderson will be editing with the assistance of Jess Driesenga of Fuller Seminary. Volumes 1 and 2 will be available in late 2014.
Guidance for Christian Engagement in Government: This translation of Kuyper's Our Program, an outline of Kuyper's political party, was translated and edited by Dr. Harry Van Dyke. It is now available for purchase.
Kuyper Church Anthology: The Kuyper Church Anthology is currently being edited by Dr. John Woods. Rooted and Grounded, one of Kuyper's sermons to be included in this anthology, has already been published as a teaser. It is anticipated that the full anthology will be ready for purchase by the end of 2014.
Kuyper Islam Anthology: The material for inclusion in the Kuyper Islam Anthology is being translated by Dr. Jan van Vliet, Professor of Economics at Dordt College. Dr. James Bratt, Calvin College professor, will serve as editor. The anthology will serve as a primer/example of how to appropriately and meaningfully engage other cultures and religions.
Kuyper Education Anthology: Material for this anthology will be finalized in January 2014.
Kuyper Business, Economics and Care of the Poor Anthology: Material for this anthology will be selected in 2014.

By Alexis ToulonTranslated By Sacha Christianson 15 December 2012Edited Lauren Gerken France - Le Nouvel Observateur - Original Article (French) Historian André Kaspi returns to the weight of the Second Amendment and to the difficulty of regulating the sale of arms. Interview. This new massacre could allow Barack Obama to restart the debate on the Second Amendment, which allows each American citizen the right to bear arms. The killings that took place Friday, Dec. 14 in a school in Newtown, Connecticut, is part of a long series. The media has not missed the opportunity to point to the weakness of gun control as one of the causes of these massacres. Can the legislation change? André Kaspi, professor emeritus of U.S. history at the Sorbonne, does not think so. Will this recent massacre allow Barack Obama to return to the Second Amendment, which guarantees all citizens the right to bear arms? No. In the United States, it is easy to procure firearms. The second amendment is part of the fundamental text for Americans. It is an important element that guarantees their freedom in a constitutional manner. Barack Obama can try to start the debate, but public opinion will quickly turn to something else. And if the debate goes all the way to Congress, it will probably be vetoed. This will not start up the debate on guns. I will add that this killing is neither the first, nor the last and the debate has not been revived. In 1981, Ronald Reagan was the victim of an assassination attempt [69 days after his election during a speech at the Washington Hilton Hotel in the US capital]. His press secretary, James Brady, was severely wounded and his wife fought for 12 years to obtain very weak gun control. What can Barack Obama do to fight against these killings? One has to understand that this was an irrational and isolated act. We cannot, within a population of 315 million, avoid the fact that some people become criminals. In France, there was the Merah affair. He, by himself, committed mass murder. The difference is that Merah had political convictions. However, the fascination with death was the same. Therefore, the solution is not just gun control, which already exists in France. Another point, we cannot use logic to rationally explain irrational acts. Of course, we will find reasons: son of a divorced couple, suffering, etc., but this is not enough. When we look for social or societal reasons for these crimes, we fall flat because we cannot take into account the motivations of the killer. Only medicine will be able to act…if at all. Is the United States condemned to relive these mass killings? I fear so. There were a dozen killings in 2012. This year has been really bad, we are talking about a record. This could stimulate the competitive spirit of other disturbed people. And America will relive the tragedies. Discussion with André Kaspi collected by Alexis Toulon Saturday, Dec. 15, 2012.

(AFP) – Sep 16, 2008
PARIS (AFP) — Liverpool will seek a spot of southern comfort on Tuesday as they kickstart their Champions League campaign away to Marseille.
Surpassing last season's exploits at the Stade Velodrome would be expecting a lot of a side coming off a hard-earned victory in the Premiership over European champions Manchester United - Liverpool dispatched the French 4-0 having earlier stumbled to an abysmal loss at Anfield by the only goal.
Liverpool coach Rafa Benitez is a past master of squad rotation and is additionally suspected by some of preferring the tactical jousting of continental midweek action to the frenetic blood and thunder of a league which his club has not won since 1990.
But he is currently having to look at the other side of his coin after the win over United sent the Merseysiders joint top of the table with Chelsea.
On the squad front, Benitez is likely to have to hedge his bets this time given that two of Marseille's chief tormentors last season, Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard, are only returning from injury.
The good news is that, on Saturday's evidence, the absence of both will not necessarily prevent Liverpool swatting aside the 1993 champions, who currently trail serial champions Lyon by two points following an unbeaten start to the new campaign.
"We could not have asked for a better boost to our confidence than a victory over the best team in England, and the European champions," said Benitez on Saturday's win over United, the club's first since 2004.
"Now we will go to Marseille in a good frame of mind. That was our best performance of the season and we now feel we can go into a Champions League game in good heart and spirit."
On Torres and Gerrard he added: "We will have to wait and see how they are for Europe."
With Group D also comprising PSV Eindhoven, the pool contains three former European Cup winners, as well as Spain's Atletico Madrid.
Torres will certainly want to be back to face the side where he made his name and will be relishing October 22, when he returns to his former stamping ground of the Vicente Calderon stadium, before the return three weeks later.
Benitez may reason that there is no need to unleash him, at least from the start, at the Velodrome, as he gives Robbie Keane and Dirk Kuyt another chance to establish a strike partnership.
Given they have to end their pool campaign on their travels with a trip to the Netherlands to face PSV, Liverpool will on Tuesday be out to ensure there is no repeat of the kind of lax showing which allowed Marseille to storm fortress Anfield last season.
After their home mauling nine months ago the French, who drew with fellow Champions League participants Bordeaux on Saturday, have much to prove - not least Marseille's flying Dutchman Boudewijn Zenden, who played in Liverpool's 2007 final loss to AC Milan.
Teammate Ben Arfa is hoping to make the date after missing France's two World Cup qualifiers earlier this month with a groin strain and then suffering a bruised knee.
A further doubt for the hosts is Mathieu Valbuena, who scored a spectacular winner at Anfield last season but has not played all season after summer groin surgery.
"He is ready," insisted coach Eric Gerets of a player who "can make a difference" to the French side's attacking potency.
Ben Arfa says Europe and the league are different animals.
"It won't be the same against Liverpool (as against Bordeaux) Liverpool as first we are at home and the English play a direct style. We will have to play it cute and take the chances we get as we won't have as many," he forecast.
Marseille's new English signing Tyrone Mears is hoping for a chance but will likely miss out to first choice defensive stalwart Laurent Bonnart.

Francis Howell High School is getting a new athletic complex, that much is known. What it looks like is now the question.
Back in February, after weeks of discussion, the that has a baseball field, a softball field and other amenities. Last Thursday, during the June 21 meeting, the board approved a construction contract to Lamb Construction to build the $2,257,000 complex.
With those two road blocks out of the way, only one big one remains: Design.
Thursday night, at board's special end-of-the-year meeting, the board will discuss add alternates on the project. A brick backstop and a turf infield, items not on the original design, have been discussed as extra features for the baseball field.
Chief Financial Officer Kevin Supple said the district would take bids for the extras, but that it wasn't something the district would fund. He said if a turf infield is wanted, the boosters could pay for it.
If the add alternates are denied, a more basic design—one modeled after the fields at Howell Central, would be implemented.
"We were trying not to create greater disparity by now introducing turf infield and brick backstops, when that is not the conditions at the other high school nor is that the plans at the other high schools," Supple said.
Board member Mike Hoehn disagreed last week with the approach calling the design outdated.
"We can do it right at the school and have the other schools catch up." he said Hoehn.
Just like he said last year when pushing more expensive tennis courts, Hoehn said the higher costs now would lead to savings in the long run.
"Sometimes you have to spend a few more dollars on the front end to save money on the back end," he said. "... We worry to save a penny now when we can save a dollar down the road."
Board Vice President Mark Lafata was not in favor of improving the design.
"I don't understand the need to always improve the Howell facility until it's a professional sports facility," Lafata said.
Lafata said the extras just add money to the project. He said that if Hoehn was so interested in making Howell the best it could be, he should fund it himself and not have the district foot the bill.
"Write a check Mr. Hoehn," Lafata said. "If you want all these things, write a check."
Hoehn said it wasn't a matter of him wanting things, but rather trying to have Howell be the best it can be.
"I'm trying to make sure we're moving forward and doing what's in the best interest of the students, the community and in the district," he said.
Hoehn then added that, "If I had the money, id write a check, but I don't have the money."
Board treasurer Amy McEvoy said that when you build a new school, parity is nearly impossible to maintain. Lafata said that with the extras, it would continue to put Howell on a different level than other schools in the district.
"Nothing I've heard tonight save us money," he said. "... I think we've gone overboard down at Howell."
Since the contract only was meant for construction purposes, and not design, the board voted 6-0 to give the contract Lamb Construction to build the $2,257,000 complex.
