Rewilding Europe: Making Europe a Wilder Place
Rewilding Europe aims to rewild one million hectares of land by 2020, creating 10 magnificent wildlife and wilderness areas of international quality. Rewilding focuses on Europe's huge areas of abandoned land, and on providing a viable business case for wild nature.
Rewilding Europe, the movement, is gaining momentum. Rewilding Europe, the video, beautifully makes the case: for today, for tomorrow, for making Europe a wilder place.

This trailer is a cooperation with PluralVisual from Berlin.
Rewilding Made Manifest: Oostvaardersplassen, The Netherlands
Oostvaardersplassen from Ben on Vimeo.
A notable example of rewilding, the Oostvaardersplassen is a nature reserve in the Netherlands covering about 56 square kilometres, managed by the State Forestry Service.
Oostvaardersplassen was created in 1968, in part of a reclaimed polder comprising a complex of large, shallow, freshwater lakes, reedbeds, Salix scrub, and wet meadows. The site is important for a wide variety of wintering, staging and breeding waterbirds, including thousands of pairs of cormorants, Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis, important numbers of various species of geese and ducks, and the globally-threatened sea eagle, Haliaetus albicilla. Starting in 1989, Oostvaardersplassen is a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance (site no. 427, 52º27'N 005º20'E.)
"Such is the success of the Dutch experiment – whatever, exactly, it is – that it has inspired a new movement. Dubbed Rewilding Europe, the movement takes the old notion of wilderness and turns it inside out. Perhaps it's true that genuine wilderness can only be destroyed, but new "wilderness," what the Dutch call "new nature," can be created. Every year, tens of thousands of acres of economically marginal farmland in Europe are taken out of production. Why not use this land to produce "new nature" to replace what has been lost?"
Elizabeth Kolbert, Dept. of Ecology, "Recall of the Wild," The New Yorker, December 24, 2012, p. 50
Findings of the just released Wildlife Comeback in Europe study will be reported in the
10th World Wilderness Congress in Salamanca, Spain.
WILD10 runs from 4 to 10 October 2013, convening some 1200 delegates from up to 50 nations and 50,000 online. You can view or download the complete WILD10 program, for each/all three days of The Global Gathering: People, Planet, Prosperity and each/all three days of the Global Forum's working sessions. Live video streaming will be available throughout.
The World Wilderness Congress, now the world's longest-running, public conservation project and environmental forum, has humble beginnings. Ian Player and his Zulu mentor Magqubu Ntombela were sitting on the banks of the Imfolozi River in 1974. As a team, they had guided many small trips into the African wilderness. For 8 years they led groups of 8 people at a time for 5 days on trail. The wilderness experience changed the lives of many participants forever.
On this particular day, however, Magqubu turned to Ian and proposed something that has distinctly influence the global wilderness conservation scene: "We are doing good work," he said, "but we need to do more. We should call an INDABA-KULU, a great gathering, for all people to come together for wilderness."

MATTHEW 5:6 "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled."
Hunger and Thirst isn't about food and drink. Hunger and Thirst is the desire to know more, to hear more, to DESIRE to BE Like Jesus more. To be filled with the Spirit until you can be filled no more. Give your Life and your heart to Him! It is the best thing you will ever do. It makes your life worth Living and the pain and suffering that you are going through right now, yes He knows about that..Only he can take it away. Choose Him today, Choose Eternal Life.
Sometimes a song will put things into perspective a bit. In this case a Hymn came to mind.
Just a Closer Walk with Thee
I am weak, but Thou art strong;
Jesus, keep me from all wrong;
I'll be satisfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee.
Just a closer walk with Thee,
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea,
Daily walking close to Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
Through this world of toil and snares,
If I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who with me my burden shares?
None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee.
When my feeble life is o'er,
Time for me will be no more;
Guide me gently, safely o'er
To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore.

Kris Humphries has asked his new girlfriend to sign a confidentiality agreement according to reports.
The basketball player and estranged husband of Kim Kardashian has asked his lawyer to speak with the lawyer for girlfriend Myla Sinanaj in order to negotiate a non-disclosure agreement for a sizeable sum.
Sources connected with Kris told TMZ.com that his legal representative contacted hers on Friday (08.06.12), trying to stop her from talking about their relationship.
The website's sources say Kris is nervous about the texts, emails and other documents she has relating to their relationship, which he would prefer to keep private.
Apparently in addition to a non-disclosure agreement, Kris wants Myla to sign a joint statement which she will also be paid for.
The sportsman's lawyers are demanding millions of dollars from his ex Kim, alleging that she defrauded him with the union and broke his heart.
He has reportedly been dating the new woman since January.
The 27-year-old star - who split from Kim after just 72 days of marriage last October - has been dating the 25-year-old, whose real name is Fatmire, since meeting at a prominent New York hotel.

I could pretty much copy/paste my Rafael Betancourt player review into this Matt Belisle review and no one would be the wiser (provided I removed the Tommy John stuff). The relievers are almost eerily similar. Both found a home in Colorado in the latter half of 2009. Both feature high-strikeout low-walk stuff. Both have been durable workhorses out of the pen for several years in a row. And both took a step back in 2013.
This is the fourth year in a row that Belisle's ERA has gone up. He finished the year with a 4.32 mark, which is higher than you want from your primary setup man. He allowed line drives at a 26.4% rate, which is the worst he's done in his Rockies tenure.
Anecdotally, it looked like his fastball was straighter and more hittable than we Rockies fans are used to. He just seemed to get hit hard.
That said, there may be room for optimism regarding his 2013 campaign. His peripherals (strikeout rate, walk rate, BABIP, etc.) were all right around his career norms. He gave up slightly more home runs and stranded slightly fewer runners, which, one could argue, might be fluky and a result of bad luck, not a deterioration of skills. He still shouldered 73 innings, a big workload for a reliever.
But those innings are also alarm bells. Since 2010, Belisle has pitched the second most innings of any reliever in the game, and it isn't beyond the realm of possibility that he's starting to get gassed. That's a lot of bullets he's been firing, and he's no longer a spring chicken at 33 years old.
2013 Grade with the Rockies: B-
W | L | SV | G | IP | K/9 | BB/9 | HR/9 | BABIP | LOB% | GB% | HR/FB | ERA | FIP | xFIP | rWAR | |
Matt Belisle: 2013 | 5 | 7 | 0 | 72 | 73 | 7.64 | 1.85 | 0.74 | 0.321 | 65.40% | 48.60% | 10.90% | 4.32 | 3.03 | 2.99 | 0.6 |
2014 Outlook
So is he declining or was this just a down year? That's the question the Rockies brass have to answer when designing next year's roster. Belisle has a $4.25 MM team option for next year. That would be a bargain for the 2010-2012 Belisle; it would be an overpay for 2013's version. That's a lot of money to shell out for a reliever that the team can't trust in high leverage situations.
My pure speculation, based on the vibe I get from Troy Renck and other Rockies statements, is that the team will decline the option but bring him back on a reduced contract.
As for his 2014 performance, who can say? If he doesn't regains some zip on his fastball, he'll have to rely on deception and finesse. Those kinds of pitchers can serve a role, but they profile better as long relievers or mop-up guys, not 7th and 8th inning shut-down guys. It will be interesting to see if Belisle bounces back.

When I was little, I knew JUST what I was going to do when I grew-up: I was going to be a princess. And here's a list of all the things I was going to do:
1. Wear big, beautiful gowns. EVERY day. With a massive bejeweled crown of gold. Or that cone-shaped hat with the flowy-material coming out of the top.
2. Ride ponies all day.
3. Host big banquets with all the ladies and gentlemen of the land, drinking from golden goblets, eating turkey drumsticks.
4. Live in a castle. With a moat. And lily pads.
5. Visit the other neighbouring princes and princesses once a week or so, depending on the weather (nobody likes a wet pony).
6. Host big balls with live orchestral music and dance carefully on glass slippers.
7. Frolic about in the nearby woods, picking orchard apples and pears and cherries, painting the distant mountains on an easel.
8. Get saved from a dragon by a charming knight clad in silver chain mail and wielding a sword heavier than me.
9. Sit on a throne. Wave a glittery scepter.
10. Have hundreds of pets. But mostly talking parrots and baby puppies.
Can anyone relate to this? I wasn't being TOO outrageous, was I?
Oh most definitely yes! I was also going to have blonde curly hair (mine is oh so straight).

Gilles Peterson has achieved a modest sort of fame, but he prefers to keep the spotlight on the sounds he's been key in popularizing. Acid jazz. Drum'n'bass. Nu-jazz. Broken beat. All are prominently featured on his show "Worldwide" on BBC's Radio 1, a body of work that feeds the 50 mix CDs and compilations he's released since 19852000's INCredible Sound of Gilles Peterson is his most prominent work in the U.S., while more recent efforts like ...In Brazil and last year's Back in Brazilgave me the electricity I hadn't heard since. He's also a label boss, founding the groundbreaking imprints Acid Jazz and Talkin' Loudyou can thank Gilles (rhymes with smiles) for the Brand New Heavies, Roni Size and Reprazent, 4hero, and Nuyorican Soul, to name but a few. His new imprint, Brownswoodnamed for an old house of his now dedicated entirely to his vinylmoves forward with an ear to what he helpfully describes as "just great music." (The label's first project, Brownswood Bubblers, spans house and modern jazz, with soul providing the glue.) When not on the air or running labels, he's behind the decks on a constant world tour, anchored by a club residency in London. With all that space to fill, his eclecticism is a necessityhe needs all the music he can get, so the possibilities only include hip-hop 'n' samba, bossa nova 'n' nu-jazz, funk 'n' soul, r&b 'n' d&b, house 'n' jazz, Afrobeat 'n' techno. And that's only the first hour of a set. This French-Swiss hybrid from South London is not called a tastemaker for nothing.
He slowed to human speed just before his New Year's set in Tokyo, fresh from vacation with his family in Lausanne, Switzerland. I could feel the whirlwind through the Skype connection as he described crate-diggingfor cheese. He's busy, but life's clearly not so tough. "Not in Lausanne," Gilles says. "They have the number one cheese store in the region. It's deep over there." (He had it bad for a Corsican goat cheese, evidently.) It's the same with musiche's surrounded by exotic excellence he just "has" to sift through. "I'm constantly struggling as to who I am," he says. "And if it ever gets too easy, you're cheating the people in some way." This, after 20-plus years spinning records, launching careers, serving gems from Brazil and Africa, bridging the worlds of dance music and jazz . . . his dedication is 100 percent vital. It's enlivening. But of course, that's his gig: He means it.
"My mission is to give people the energy that I received from jazz and funk records when I first heard them," he explains. His own education came in clubs and ballrooms, electric and vibrant. Fueled by complementing soul/fusion/r&b scenes in early-'80s London, Gilles's special purpose and knack for what he calls connecting the dots between genres might have gained an anchor when fate played a three-part solo: "In one week, when I was about 21, I happened to meet Mark Murphy, Jalal from the Last Poets, and Wayne Shorter," Gilles recalls. He pauses. "In that week, a great deal of learning happened." If the next 21 years are evidencea fresh DJ from a jazzbo scene blossoms into an impresario and curator with a worldwide radio showwhat he learned was powerful. He plays in such a way that you can hear what he hears: the common thread in sometimes radically different things.
Gilles returns this week to the home of Shorter, Jalal, and Murphy to push that feeling on, DJing in addition to showcasing new talent on the Brownswood label. "I love to play New York," he says. "New York gives the love." Hopefully he finds some cheese here he likes as well.
Gilles Peterson appears alongside Soil & Pimp, Tita Lima, Jose James, Taylor McFerrin, and others at the Hiro Ballroom January 24, giantstepstore.net

There's no need to blush
when we turn the mattress.
How much blood has your body spent
in all our years together?
How many nights have you pressed your
aching belly against my back?
Truly live with a woman and
you will know blood:
the leak that bespeaks the fertility that twice
turned me inside out and right way up.
So don't blush at a love which is
more than mattress-deep.

Authorities in Rogers County are investigating a case of animal cruelty involving a dog being dragged to its death.
Outraged animal lovers have created a reward for information.
9/2/2012 Related Story: Rogers County Dog Reportedly Dragged To Death
Jetta was a protective pooch.
"If our kids were outside, she was right there by her side, wouldn't let them out of her sight," owner Melony Patton said.
But the young black lab had a sensitive side, Patton said. Jetta wouldn't hurt a fly.
"She was more of a 'come lay by your feet, pet me and lick ya to death.'"
Jetta was a new mom of just four weeks.
"Nine puppies," Patton said. "Nine. She was right there if any of them yelped or cried or anything. She was a good mama."
Jetta was taking care of her pups on Friday night. That was the last time Patton saw the family dog.
"I think I'm still in shock that somebody could take something from my yard and do that," Patton said.
On Saturday morning, Patton said her husband and brother found Jetta about a mile from home, dead and barely recognizable.
Patton said someone tied Jetta's back legs together with wire then tortured her to death.
"You don't drag a dog a mile away from her home, behind a vehicle," Patton said.
Angry and upset, Patton is staying strong for children and struggling herself for answers.
"What keeps going through my head [is], why would somebody want to do this to someone's pet someone's child?
"I've got two small kids now to explain to them what happened to their dog. How do I explain that to a 3 year old and a 2 year old?
Rogers County Sheriff Scott Walton calls the crime an act of evil, and he's not taking it lightly.
"You just have to believe and stay focused on the fact that this is the work of a sick mind, that some thug would do this to an animal," Walton said.
But for Patton, her fear stretches even farther.
"If they're gonna do this to a pet, what are they gonna do to a child? Or what are they gonna do to another adult? If they're this cruel, I mean, they're cruel to do anything," Patton said.
It's an unsettling thought that's being comforted now by the love of her nine healthy pups.
Patton said her family will be keeping one of Jetta's puppies, but will soon be looking for good homes for the rest.
Walton said someone out there knows who is responsible and he hopes that person comes forward.
You can do that anonymously calling the RCSO tip line at 918-341-3620.
The Wild Heart Ranch, an animal rescue group, is also seeking justice for Jetta, by offering a $5,000 reward for any information leading to an arrest.

Braves activate closer Wickman | |
Written by Admin |
Tuesday, 15 May 2007 13:12 |
WASHINGTON (AP) -The Atlanta Braves activated closer Bob Wickman from the 15-day disabled list Tuesday and optioned reliever Kevin Barry to Triple-A Richmond. Wickman blew back-to-back save opportunities before being placed on the DL on April 30 with tendinitis in his upper back. He had allowed six runs and five hits in 1 2-3 innings in his last three appearances before he was sidelined. Wickman was available for Tuesday night's game against the Washington Nationals. Right-hander Barry allowed five earned runs in two innings in his only appearance this season. |

However, if you can convince me that Google now behaves when presented with these, then maybe...
Hah. G### itself says, quote, "you shouldn't use it [302] to tell the Googlebot that a page or site has moved because Googlebot will continue to crawl and index the original location". So if you want them to "continue to crawl and index the original location" ... or is that like washing your car to make it rain?
Might have investigated further, but I got gobsmacked by
Google recommends that you use fewer than five redirects for each request.

WLTW Stays on Top, WKTU Pulls Closer in September
The September PPM ratings were just released by Arbitron. WLTW/Lite FM maintain number one, but there's a rare logjam at the top.
While no loss to the cume (average listenership), WLTW did see the overall rating drop off. Clear Channel's Soft Adult Contemporary juggernaut slipped from a 6.2 in August to 5.8.
The steady rise of sister station WKTU is almost complete. The Dance station improved from a 5.2 to 5.6.
No gain for WCBS-FM at 5.4, but now as a third-place radio station.
Z100/WHTZ trended backwards from a 5.1 to 4.9.
However, WINS made the biggest gains of the month, a full point to 4.2.
Rocker WAXQ/Q 104.3 was steady as she goes, joining WINS with a 4.2.
As the Yankees made a playoffs push, WCBS-AM took a .2 advantage to 4.1.
More highlights from the radio ratings after the jump.
CBS' WWFS/Fresh 102.7 saw a slight improvement for September to 3.4, while Clear Channel's WWPR/Power 105.1 fell .7 to 3.3.
WOR, which replaced Steve Malzberg with former Governor David Paterson, picked up .4 to 2.2. As for rival WABC, the Cumulus talker added a .1 to 3.2.
WABC sister station, WPLJ had a .4 increase to 2.9.
WFAN slipped slightly to 2.8, but WEPN/ESPN could not gain any ground at 1.0.
Also at a 1.0, WBBR/Bloomberg Radio, although the Mayor's enterprise lost .2.
And lest we forget, Merlin Media's WEMP. FM News 101.9 fell like the proverbial lead balloon in its first full ratings period. The upstart "experiment" stands at a .5 for September (down from a 1.1). Worse still, WEMP lost more than half of its listeners. After a 1.5 million cume starting out in August, only 646,000 listeners remained a month later.

Marlen Esparza
Marlen Esparza in 2013 ESPN Body Issue:
Marlen Esparza, United States Olympic boxer and bronze medalist at the 2012 London games in the women's Flyweight division, makes an appearance in the annual ESPN the Magazine Body Issue. The Body Issue showcases a variety of male and female athletes from all sporting disciplines entirely in the nude -- with some careful angles and placements of obstacles so as to avoid any full frontal type of photos.
Right here, you can check out the Marlen Esparza Body Issue photos from this year's edition.
All of the photos and the full stories and details for the entire ESPN The Magazine Body Issue is available on their official website. An accompanying interview with Esparza is also available at ESPNW.
For Esparza, it's not her first taste of the limelight. She was the first female boxer to qualify for the 2012 London Olympics, and therefore the first to do so ever. As mentioned, she took home a bronze at the London games, losing to China...

Book Description:I am a bunny. My name is Nicholas. I live in a hollow tree. This classic Golden Book, illustrated by Richard Scarry, celebrates its 50th anniversary with the story of Nicholas, a bunny clad in red overalls. In the spring, he picks flowers, and in the summer, watches the frogs in the pond. In the fall, he sees the animals getting ready for winter. And when winter comes, he watches the snow falling from the sky...then curls up in his hollow tree to dream about Spring. No child's library is complete without this gentle story of the seasons.

Autism Housing in Ramsey gets approved
RAMSEY – The Planning Board last week approved several variances, including one for square footage, in paving the way for the development of a housing complex for adults with special needs on Airmount Avenue.
The housing, which will be called Airmount Woods, is a joint venture among the Bergen County United Way; the Madeline Corp., an affordable housing nonprofit; and Ramsey Housing Inc., a five-member citizens' advisory board.
The property, roughly 3 acres, is in a single-family residential zone near Route 17. Under the plan, it will be subdivided into lots of 1.5 acres and 1.6 acre.
New Horizons for Autism will provide residents with round-the-clock services.
Plans for the housing were announced in February; borough officials hailed the endeavor for its benefit to a community in need of facilities to help improve its quality of life and provide it with a measure of independence.
Tom Toronto, president of the county's United Way chapter, said Sept. 7 that it was "thrilled and pleased" the board "showed unanimous support" for the project at its final hearing on Sept. 6.
The next step, he said, will be preparing construction drawings and soliciting bids for a general contractor. The effort has already received offers from local contractors, he said.
"Hopefully we begin work before the frost is on the pumpkin," Toronto said, referring to breaking ground on the development. "So, realistically, late October, early November we hope to be at work."
Gina Plotino, director of communications for United Way, has said residents will engage in a full range of activities, including cooking, cleaning, doing laundry and taking trips.
Architect James Virgona testified Sept. 6 that the complex, which will be 6,000 square feet, was designed as a residence in "character and scale" to accommodate the care and needs of autistic adults. The facility will feature two buildings connected by a breezeway, private living quarters, recreational rooms, common outdoor space and basements for storage and activities.

F150 Ford Leveling Kits
A leveling kit is designed to raise the front of your Ford F150 pickup. There are various options for the amount of front lift, depending on your specific requirements. Since nearly all vehicles come from the factory with a slight rake, a leveling kit is what you'll need to not only raise the front but also allow the installation of larger tires. If you've added a heavier bumper or a winch to the front, this is another reason to install a leveling kit. You'll find a wide assortment of leveling kits here provided by manufacturers that are known to be leaders in the industry.
Easy installation of the Rough Country leveling kits for your Ford to run larger tires. Rough Country Ford leveling kits come with a 60-day money back guarantee and Limited Lifetime Warranty.

The Analysis of Local Budgets and Their Importance in the Fight Against the Economic Crisis Effects
The purpose of this analysis is to assess the financial and budgetary performance of an administration. Therefore, the performance of the central and local administration is strongly connected to the capacity of controlling the expenses and to ensure the resources to cover it. Taking into consideration the economic crisis conditions, this performance can easily be turned into counter-performance, especially when the central and local authorities do not act in due time. The fight against the effects of the financial crisis implies diminution in the pressure generated by the central and local financing need combined with the growth in the performance of the authorities' management. This means achieving the financial sustainability of the central budget and the autonomy of the local community based on the budgetary equilibrium, so that the local budget deficits should not become global. Thus, the financially autonomous local communities have to efficiently plan and manage the local income and expense budgets. The Holt-Winters model should offer a good tool in order to achieve this task.Download Info

Less than two weeks after the project was approved by the State Board of Regents, the new video board and sound project is underway at Kinnick Stadium.
The video board/sound upgrades will be up and going this fall. UI athletics director Gary Barta admitted that it will be a tight timeline, but the plan is to have it done for this upcoming season. The financing package the board approved for that Kinnick project totals $8 million, but they expect the total cost of everything will be $9 million because of the increase in bids on a portion of the project.
The existing video walls, control room equipment and sound system at Kinnick are eight years old, UI officials told The Gazette.
The company handling the project is Daktronics, Inc. As per usual, the Iowa athletics department will foot this bill using no tax or tuition cash.
The project includes a large screen video display system within the existing south end zone structure, video displays in the northeast and northwest end zone corners and a ribbon display to be installed above the seating along the north side of Kinnick Stadium.
That ribbon display will show game information, video, scores and advertising. In addition to those four video displays, the purchase request also includes two game clocks and four play clocks.
Here are more dimensions:
The South End Zone video board:
• Overall Dimensions
31'6.4″ Tall x 122'8.8″ Wide
• 15mm HD Video Display
624 lines of resolution x
2448 columns of resolution
• Optional 13mm HD Video Display
728 lines of resolution x
2856 columns of resolution
The Ribbon-style scoreboard info:
• Ribbon Dimensions
8'8.8″ Tall x 236'4.8″ Wide
• 13HD Video Display
196 lines of resolution x
10,062 columns of resolution
• Side Video Dimensions
21'11.2″ Tall x 38'8.8″ Wide
• 13HD Video Display @2
504 lines of resolution x
896 columns of resolution
• Vomitory Display Dimensions
3'7″ Tall x 13'2″ Wide
• 13HD Display @2
84 lines of resolution x
308 columns of resolution
• Delay of Game Clock @2
A couple stills from Gazette photographer Brian Ray:
The big board in the south end places Iowa No. 17 in the country for single video board square footage (3,904), just behind Nebraska (3,951) and just ahead of the Heisman haven at Texas A&M (3,869).
Texas–who else?–is No. 1 with an amazing 7,437 sq. ft. board — almost twice the size of Iowa's. Miami of Florida is No. 2 at 6,717. Other leaders include No. 5 Michigan State (5,412), No. 8 Ohio State (5,808), No. 9 Minnesota (5,184), No. 14 Michigan (3,991), and No. 25 Iowa State (2,862).
The Rose Bowl's new board, which I saw in person last July 4, seemed huge and crystal clear, but it's a mere 2,340 sq. ft. Minnesota's is more than twice that size. Wow…
You know what would be just as cool and far less expensive? Painting a Hawkeye on the water tower.. Maybe they could talk College Pro Painters to tackle the job for a couple hundred bucks? Seriously though, how has this not been done yet? When they shined the logo up for a game once it was suh-weet.
You can't paint the tower because it belongs to the hospital. It's theirs to paint.
Is it all about size?? That old board was nothing more than a billboard. This new one for $9 mil better be more fan friendly.

Homedepot.com is TROUBLE Complaint - Regret using this site
Review by
Comments (4)
Wow, six weeks ago I placed an order with homedepot.com and cancelled it the next day through an email on their site. I got an automated response that said someone would contact me. No one did. So I tried calling but grew impatient on hold for 20 minutes. A week later I got an email announcing shipment of the items I cancelled. Again I send an email. Few days later package was dropped off on my step. I called my local store but they couldn't help me since they are separate entities. So I sat on hold for 2 hours & 15 minutes before someone answered. She said they would issue a return request and I would receive instructions in the mail within 5-7 days but I never did. So over the course of the next three weeks I call three more times and am told the same thing, even when I talk to supervisors. I have filed a complaint with the BBB but that takes weeks to resolve. I have searched for other phone numbers (corporate headquarters etc) but everyone redirects me back to this same department that gives the same lip service time after time. Meanwhile they still have my $150.

Sorry that happened to you. THe Home Depot website has gotten many complaits on here. I certainly will stay away form it. Keep in mind though, ordering on the web is a dangerous thing under the best of circumstances.

I gotta agree, Mike.
Posted by Doc J on 2006-07-07:
So far, as a result of lurking around m3c, I've learned to avoid HomeDepot.com, Ashley, Verizon, DISH, DirectTV, Gold's Gym, and about 20 more. It would be nice if folks knew about this site BEFORE they ran into problems. Sorry for your experience with HD.

Call Home Depot's home office 770-433-8211 and see if you can a live dummy, I mean person. You might want to print out their email confirmations with the headers and save them in a file. Then call your credit card and see if they charged your credit card. You might want to put a freeze not to accept charge's from Home Depot. Good luck PS: If you want to get nasty file a complaint (homedepot.com) with the Attorney General in your state, accessed through the "My Consumer Tools" up near the middle of this page.

By Army National Guard Sgt. Darron Salzer
National Guard Bureau
JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md. (1/25/13) – The 113th Wing of the District of Columbia Air National Guard, stationed here as the quick reaction team, responsible for intercepting airborne threats to the nation's capital, has reached a notable milestone, recently responding to their 4,000th alert event in more than 11 years.
Air Force Lt. Col. Christopher Hardgrave, the 113th Wing alert forces commander, who was part of the 4,000th mission, said every event is broken up into different categories or postures depending on what happens.
"[There are times] where we do not actually get airborne on a sortie, and in this event we didn't … we got to the end of the runway and they were able to identify the aircraft and they were able to pull us back before we actually ended up taking off," Hardgrave said. "We're very, very busy – we get out to the runway almost daily … but we do not get airborne as often as people think."
The men and women of the wing's Aerospace Control Alert Detachment may not fly as often as one would think, but they've been protecting the District of Columbia longer than most realize.
"[Sept. 11] was one of those events that changed the world," Hardgrave said. "We started flying here 24 hours a day, seven days a week in response to it for about three to four months, followed … after by the steady-state alert mission for the next 11-plus years."
"We've had over 500 events each year for the past two years, averaging almost one-and-a-half per day where the [alert] horn goes off in the national capital region as part of the alert forces," he said.
Hardgrave explained that the Eastern Air Defense Sector is responsible for determining anything east of the Mississippi River that could be a threat to the District of Columbia and the seat of the U.S. government.
When alerted, "we can respond very, very quickly to what we're defending," he said.
The rapid response, however, would not be possible without the near flawless efforts of the crews that maintain the aircraft used for the mission to ensure their readiness 24-hours a day.
"It's a 'no fail' mission," said Air Force Master Sgt. Curtis Hills, a crew supervisor with the detachment. "What we have here on our team is what I like to say are top-notch [aircraft] maintainers."
The purpose of the maintainers is to ensure that the aircraft are ready to go at a moment's notice, because you never know when the alert horn can go off, said Hills.
"We don't have that luxury [of failure]," he said. "That's probably the biggest thing that we have on our minds when we're down here – we cannot fail. Everybody has to stay at the top of their game 24/7 whenever they are on watch."
Being on watch, regardless of the sacrifices of the pilots and the crews, is one duty that many of the Airmen take personally.
"I live in D.C.," Hardgrave said. "When I'm out here and my [crews] are out here, they're protecting my family and I'm protecting my family as well. It's something that we take very seriously."
"Knowing that we can do a mission to provide that [type of] security for the people within this area gives us a great sense of security here," Hills said. "The other aspect … is that [our mission] keeps our families safe and our friends safe – I think that's more important than anything else."

A. There is a new credential for those that practice project management in a specialty area: PMI Scheduling Professional (PMI-SP)SM.
Q. Who should apply for the PMI-SP credential?
A. Individuals who spend a majority of their time managing project schedules should consider applying for this specialty credential.
Q. Why should I pursue the PMI-SP credential?
A. Project scheduling practitioners provide expertise in the specialized area of developing and maintaining the project schedule. Project scheduling professionals should be recognized for their knowledge, skills and experience in this specialized area of project scheduling.
Q. Do I have to be a PMI Member to pursue the PMI-SP credential?
A. No. Candidates do not have to be a PMI member.
Q. Is there a pre-requisite credential I must attain first before applying for the PMI-SP?
A. No. The PMI-SP is a stand-alone credential offered as part of PMI's family of credentials.
Q. Is there a pilot for the PMI-SP examination?
A. Yes. Candidates can schedule their examinations once approved and once payment is received, but they can only schedule the examination after the 30 May 2008 date, when the credential will officially be launched. The pilot period will run from 30 May to 31 July 2008. The first 100 people to apply and sit for the exam will receive 50% off the price of the examination. This will be conducted as a refund. Candidates will also be entered into one of four regional drawings (North America, Europe/Middle East/Africa, Latin America and Asia Pacific) for a chance to win $1,000.00 (US). Candidates must sit for the examination between 30 May and 31 July 2008 to take advantage of this promotion.
Q. If I sit for the PMI-SP examination, when will I receive my score?
A. Candidates who sit for the examination during the pilot period (30 May – 31 July 2008) will not receive their scores immediately. PMI will be determining the pass/fail score (cut score) during this pilot period. As soon as the cut score is determined (within a 60 – 90 day timeframe), pilot participants will be notified immediately. Until that time, communications will be sent to candidates to keep them apprised of where PMI is in the cut score determination process.
Q. If I already have a credential from PMI, can I still pursue the PMI-SP?
A. Yes. The PMI-SP is a stand-alone credential. The candidate must be able to meet all of the eligibility requirements.
Q. What's involved in getting the credential?
A. Candidates must successfully complete the following:
- The initial evaluation occurs through an application review (including education and experience requirements).The application will be reviewed and approved or denied within five days of receipt. PMI may select any application for audit to verify any aspect of the application (payment is submitted with the application and required prior to audit). Approval of the application, along with receipt of payment, will allow the candidate to pursue the next step to take the multiple-choice evaluation examination.
- Payment must be submitted with the application and received by PMI.
- The multiple-choice examination is the second evaluation. During the examination, candidates will be called upon to demonstrate their ability to apply knowledge to a variety of situational or scenario-based questions.
- Upon passing the examination evaluation, candidates will earn the PMI-SP.
Q. How can I apply for the PMI-SP?
A. The application is available online. You also have the option to download the application, fill it out and send it to PMI via postal mail. Please note: Any missing information will result in a delay in processing.
Q. What supporting documentation should I send with my application?
A. When submitting an application, you do not need to send documentation. However, PMI does use a random audit process to verify candidate applications. If you are selected for a random audit, you will receive notification via e-mail as well as a letter via postal mail with the instructions and forms needed to complete this requirement.

The examination consists of approximately 170 questions. Candidates will be given three-and-a-half hours to complete the examination. About 20 of the questions, dispersed randomly throughout the examination, are pre-test (or un-scored) questions.
Applicants who pass the application review are eligible to take the multiple-choice examination. The eligibility for the examination period is one year.
During the eligibility period, the candidate may take the multiple-choice examination up to three times. Candidates should gauge their time carefully to leave enough time during the eligibility period to retake the examination, if needed. PMI will collect retake fees for candidates making second or third attempts to pass the examination.
Q. What happens if my eligibility expires and I have not taken the exam?
A. Candidate applications are valid for one year from the date of application approval. If a candidate allows his or her eligibility to lapse, he or she must re-apply.
Q. If I fail the exam, can I take it again? If so, when can I take it? How many times can I take the exam?
A. Yes, Candidates are granted a one-year eligibility window. Candidates have a maximum of three attempts to receive a passing score on the PMI-SP examination within the one-year eligibility period. After the third unsuccessful attempt, candidates will have to wait one year before re-applying for the credential and retaking the examination. Candidates must submit a re-examination form before each attempt along with the re-examination fee (please see your handbook for re-examination fees).
Q. What happens after I pass the exam?

A. PMI-SP credential holders are required to attain no less than 30 professional development units (PDUs) during each three-year renewal cycle.

A. No, PMI's credentials reflect different roles, and therefore, different candidates. Please visit the Our Credentials section of our Web site for additional clarification on the differences among PMI's credentials.
Q. What is the cost to earn the credential?

Is it possible for First Nations to hold a festival worthy of the name in Québec's metropolis?
The Montreal Frist Peoples Festival asks the question a press release distriburted this morning as the Partenariat du Quartier des spectacles (the PQDS), a paramunicipal body that administers a major program in support of events in Montreal's downtown core cultural district, decided to cut off all grants to the Festival for the year 2014.
The PQDS claims that the First Peoples Festival lacks sufficiently innovative programming. This is a surprising attack on the Montreal event that has very successfully and continually transformed itself over the years. Since it moved its activities to the Quartier des spectacles, it has offered a brand-new formula that richly highlights First Peoples culture, art and diversity.
First Peoples Festival is a First Nations' multi-disciplinary festival, an event unique in its genre and presented yearly by the Terres en vues/Land Insights society for the last 24 years.
Last year, the festival succeeded in balancing its budget without a deficit although the very day its program was launched, June 18 2013, the PQDS announced a drastic $50 000 cut to the Festival's budget. This year the festival was been hit with a great blow that could prove to be fatal.
The festival states that this new obstacle is a test of the commitment of city of Montreal and government stakeholders to make a place for First Nations culture in Quebec's metropolis and to associate these with the many commemorations set for city's 375th anniversary in 2017.
Festival organizers are demanding that those granting funds to the PQDS, the City of Montreal first and then the government of Québec, must take action without delay to reinstate a funding for First Peoples Festival within a structure that can allow it to develop and thrive.
Moreover, the festival is questioning the very way funding is delivered by the PQSD. Organizers believe that it is high time, as ethical choices, corruption and fair practices are in the spotlight in Montréal during the ongoing Charbonneau Commission, to review the governance of this paramunicipal body that oversees such important budgets.

Kingulliit: the Next Generation (Part 1)
Unikkaat Sivunittinnit: Messages from the Past
Part 1 of the Kingulliit documentary series by Zacharias Kunuk and Paul Aarulaaq Quassa.
The Inuusivut Project is a national initiative of the Embrace Life Council and the National Inuit Youth Council. The primary objective of the project is to learn, document and share - through a variety of multi-media techniques - how Inuit perceive, express, develop, foster and promote mental health.
An One Act Play By D. Morin
Artcirq show at the Northern Scene Festival in Ottawa performed on April 30, 2013 in front of a full house including the Honourable Eva Aariak, Premier of Nunavut and her guests.
Integral performance from beginning to intermission only.
The Arctic is warming double the global average, decreasing sea ice, making it easier to access and extract mineral and oil resources from the region, and this cumulative climatic and economic change has significant human and environmental health implications for Inuit and their communities. In Nunavut, the proposed Baffinland Iron Mine, at the site of Mary River, is one of the largest industrial developments ever conceived for the Arctic, and will involve year-round shipping of ore across sensitive permafrost, marine ecosystems and regions of cultural significance that have and continue to be used by Inuit. Using a new generation of GPS-enabled cameras, the Our Baffinland project explores Inuit knowledge regarding mining, and spatially locates a walrus and caribou hunting expedition and associated interviews with elders across this landscape. This digital media consultation and monitoring initiative highlights the complexities of "Arctic Development".
This project will be featured in an ipad version in the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) and is a preview of the website-in-progress. The fully interactive Our Baffinland atlas will be available online at www.isuma.tv/ourbaffinland in early 2014.

Please address me as Kareena Kapoor Khan

In fact, Kareena Kapoor Khan quite often ends up insisting others to use her updated conjugal identity.
Kareena Kapoor Khan says she's finally getting the hang of her new 'beautiful' surname.
It all started with Aishwarya Rai when she decided to go ahead and add Bachchan to her surname. After tying the knot with Saif Ali Khan, the latest entrant to this fledgling club in B-Town is Bebo. Earlier, Bollywood actresses usually chose not to tweak their established screen names post wedding. Needless to add, times are indeed changing.
In fact, Kareena Kapoor Khan quite often ends up insisting others to use her updated conjugal identity. "I keep telling people to please address me as Kareena Kapoor-Khan. Besides, that's my name now, isn't it? Although I've not converted, Saif is my husband and it's a beautiful surname to have," states the actress with a glint in her green eyes.
On being asked about the positive response she received for her latest item in
Dabangg 2
, Kareena gives credit to its choreographer. "Farah (Khan) has done a fabulous job with the whole routine. I've never performed a pelvic thrust before in my entire career so yes, I was looking forward to an encouraging reception. The tune is massy: something tailor-made for the

next month. However, she says she doesn't have a dream role as such. So, which actors does she look up to? "I love Meryl Streep and Angelina Jolie. They are not only wonderful actresses but also strong personalities. In my filmi career, I think I've done almost everything but I want to continue acting till I'm 80!"

text: Nintendo has shown the "Zapper" attachment at some of the trade shows in which the Wii Remote is placed inside the Gun shell. I'm sure we'll see more "shells" at different points, depending on which companies want to make use of them. There was a picture of a plastic Link's Sword attachment shell on Play-Asia's web site a few months ago, but I haven't seen or read anymore about it lately. I'll do some more looking around and post anything I can find on it. |
