Mexicans, U.S. Citizens Do Not See Eye to Eye
MEXICO CITY - The proportion of Mexicans who hold a positive view of the United States has steadily shrunk in the last few years, and the concerns of people in this country differ from those of their neighbours to the north, according to two new surveys.
The percentage of Mexicans with a favourable opinion of the United States plummeted from 72 to 41 percent in the past four years, and a mere four percent support the U.S.-led war on Iraq, indicates a Latinobarómetro survey which is to be released Thursday in Miami, but whose partial results were reported Monday in Mexico.
Meanwhile, Global Views 2004, a study carried out by academic institutions in the two countries, found few similarities between Mexican and U.S. citizens with respect to their views on questions like security and foreign policy.
The government of President George W. Bush should take a close look at these polls, which show that their neighbour and trading partner is becoming more and more distant, Marcelo Fuentes, a researcher at the University of La Salle, told IPS.
Global Views 2004, whose results were published Monday, found that a majority of respondents in the U.S. saw terrorism and chemical weapons as the worst threats to security, while Mexicans were more worried about drug trafficking and global economic crises.
The study, carried out by Mexico's Centre for Economic Research and Teaching, the Mexican Council on Foreign Relations, and the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations, reported that those interviewed in the United States believed foreign policy should focus primarily on defending their jobs and preventing the proliferation of chemical weapons.
Mexicans, by contrast, said foreign policy should defend the interests of Mexicans living in other countries, and promote the sale of national products.
When asked what they thought about economic globalisation, 64 percent of the U.S. respondents said it was "mostly good", a view that was shared by only 34 percent of the Mexicans.
Global Views 2004, which is based on surveys of 2,500 people in the United States and Mexico, said some of the majority opinions expressed fly in the face of what politicians in the two countries tend to think.
For example, 84 percent of Mexicans agree that security should be tightened, and are even "willing to allow U.S. officials into Mexico to help guard Mexico's borders, airports and seaports in the fight against" terrorism, says the report.
"This runs counter to Mexico's traditional nationalism and suspicion of foreign intervention by the United States," it adds, while pointing out that "Leaders have a traditional, defensive attitude more in line with nationalist discourse."
Among the U.S. respondents, 64 percent were in favour of a migration accord that would offer greater opportunities to Mexican immigrants "in exchange for Mexican efforts to reduce illegal immigration and drug trafficking."
Fuentes said the survey by Latinobarómetro -- an independent polling firm based in Santiago, Chile -- and Global Views 2004 once again highlight the fact that not only do physical barriers like high walls and fences separate Mexico and the United States, which share a 3,200-km border, but radically different "sociopolitical realities" do so as well.
"The governments should take note of this, and act," said Fuentes.
But while Global Views 2004 underlines differences between Mexican and U.S. respondents, it also shows some points on which they coincide.
A majority in both countries -- 55 percent in Mexico and 77 percent in the United States -- said they believed the U.S. government should participate in solving international problems with other governments.
Although the Latinobarómetro poll, whose technical details are not yet available, found that a large portion of Mexicans do not see the United States in a positive light, Global Views 2004 reported that Mexican respondents tended to admire the U.S. form of government, and the freedom and economic prosperity achieved by their northern neighbour.
"I see no contradictions, because the differences have to do with the fact that Latinobarómetro focuses more on assessing the reactions of Mexicans to the performance of the current U.S. administration, while the other study has a more general focus," said Fuentes.
According to a poll carried out in 35 countries by the University of Maryland Programme on International Policy Attitudes and GlobeScan, which has a worldwide network of research institutes, 78 percent of Mexicans do not want Bush to be reelected in the November presidential elections in the United States, in which he will face off with Democratic candidate John Kerry.
The results of Global Views 2004 are aimed at serving as tools to help governments, legislators and other decision-makers keep in mind the viewpoints of the public, said Andrés Rozental with the Mexican Council on Foreign Relations.
There is a heavy flow of trade between Mexico and the United States, which are partners (along with Canada) in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), that went into effect in 1994.
When asked by Global Views 2004 how they felt about NAFTA, 44 percent of Mexicans said it was good for the Mexican economy but 42 percent said it benefited the United States more than Mexico.
Meanwhile, 42 percent of those surveyed in the United States said the trade agreement was good for their country, but 69 percent said it benefited Mexico more than the United States.
The poll also found that 89 percent of the Mexican respondents said their country should pursue an independent foreign policy rather than follow the U.S. lead in international questions.
But 45 percent of respondents in the United States said Mexico should follow the U.S. lead in terms of foreign policy regarding international issues.
The survey states that "factors linked to its history, culture, and domestic politics push Mexico in the...direction...(of) keeping a prudent distance from its neighbour and largest trading partner, maintaining its noninterventionist principles and pacifist diplomatic tradition, (and) supporting a multilateral foreign policy orientation to counterbalance the United States."
Of the 38.8 million "Latinos" living in the United States, 25.4 million are of Mexican origin or descent.
Some 390,000 undocumented Mexican immigrants make it into the United States every year, most of them with the help of "coyotes" or people traffickers. But over one million are deported annually.
Most of the illegal drugs consumed in the United States -- the world's largest market for narcotics -- enter the country through Mexico.
Up to 1993 it was possible to make it across the border between the two countries at points near border cities. But since then, roads and populated areas along the frontier have been closed off with high walls and fences, and the controls were further stiffened after the Sep. 11, 2001 terror attacks on New York and Washington.
Added to the language and cultural differences between the United States and Mexico is the imbalance in terms of economic power, as well as continuous conflicts in areas like human rights, protection of undocumented immigrants, and the fight against drug trafficking.

Remote Viewing (RV), refers to the attempt to gather information about a distant or unseen target using paranormal means or extra-sensory perception. Typically a remote viewer is expected to give information about an object that is hidden from physical view and separated at some distance. The term was introduced by parapsychologists Russell Targ and Harold Puthoff in 1974.

Dead Doctor, President Nixon, ladies getting blowed up, knocked-up Amy taking photos and shooting little girls. All caught up. Can't wait to get back to those cliffha... Ah.
Amy is being chased through the Utah desert by Canton and a team of spooks, who produce their own bodybag once they've got her cornered. Apparently once she shot the Astronaut, Canton woke up and spotted one of the Silence, but he's now forgotten. Or something. He shoots Amy and she dies. On her arm are a bunch of hash marks.
In Area 51, they've got the Doctor trussed up in a straitjacket in the middle of some kind of magic circle thing, and they're slowly building an unbeatable prison around him, just like last year. Canton shows the Doctor a picture of the hash marks on Amy's dead arm, and nobody points out that he's got a fake beard that looks ridiculous.
Around that same time, Canton chases River Song -- also rocking has marks and having her own run-in with more Silence while being dressed like a million dollars -- out of a fiftieth-floor window in New York. To his joking condescension about how America is supposedly being invaded by superinvisible alien creatures, she shouts -- for the first time of many times in this episode -- "You were invaded a long time ago, America is occupied!"
If you wonder what that's like, River jumping sassily out of the window to get away from her pursuers, just imagine the last time she jumped sassily out of a window to get away from her pursuers: It's like that.
Canton comes to tell the Doctor that he's now killed two of the team, and the Doctor starts talking about two things at once: Number one is River, who is now dead, and number two is the unbreakable prison in which he now finds himself. (If you wonder what that's like, seeing the Doctor in an unbreakable prison being constructed around him, just imagine the last time this happened, three episodes ago: It's like that.) Number three, of course, is the usual "I'm so awesome" speechifying which somebody out there must enjoy, but I've never been able to figure out who, or for why: "You're building me the perfect prison. And it still won't be enough."
Canton shoots Rory, whose face is covered in the hash marks, at the well-known-to-all-Americans monument, Glen Canyon Dam, in AZ. They drag both Pond bodybags into the perfect jail cell, and Canton closes the door with himself inside... Ah! Turns out this whole thing was a ruse, for some reason, to lock all four of them together inside the perfect jail cell. Amy and Rory climb out of their bodybags, and the straitjacket was a fake, and the Doctor somehow opens the wall of the jailcell onto the TARDIS -- none of this is ever discussed or explained -- and then open the TARDIS sideways underneath River swandiving out of the building, so there's another splash from the TARDIS swimming pool. Which is pretty cute, honestly.

Alastair Cook wary of 'world class' India in 2nd ODI

England captain Alastair Cook said even though they have made a "great start" to the series, he is no mood to take a "world-class" India lightly in the second ODI here tomorrow. Cook said England will have to consistently maintain their standard of performance if they desire to beat India in the ODI series after the triumph in the Test rubber. "It is obviously a great start to the series when you win the first game. It was an important game to win. But now we have to move on. Hopefully, we can keep up the standard of our performances and win the upcoming game," he said on the eve of the second ODI at the Nehru Stadium.
"They're (India) a world-class side and statistics show how hard it is to win here, but we're prepared for that. We will have to keep up our skills and our standard of performances, if we want to win this game and the series," Cook added. Cook backed his pace duo of Steven Finn and Jade Dernbach to come good tomorrow even though they leaked a few runs in the first ODI at Rajkot. "On that wicket (at Rajkot) it was incredibly hard for us to bowl. It was a really quick outfield. It was probably one of the fastest wicket I've played. There was no margin for error, everytime you stray slightly it was easy for batsmen. "It was a very, very tough job and those two (Finn and Dernbach) held their nerves. They got hit for a few, but they put it to bed and came in the next ball and tried to get it better. We know how hard bowling in the first 10 overs are. Those two handled the first 10 overs very well, which is probably the most important thing," he said.

Three years ago, Somerville resident Amy Gardner was riding the T when she saw an advertisement. It depicted a cute kid, and it asked, to paraphrase, if such a child could sell you tires, could she also sell you on the chance to spend a few hours enriching her life?
The advertisement spoke to Gardner, and "I just decided it was time to start impacting somebody's life," she said.
Since then, Gardner has been volunteering with Horizons for Homeless Children, spending a few hours each week as a playspace activity leader, or PAL, and she recently won the organization's PAL of the Year Award for her efforts.
Gardner works at a family shelter in Somerville, where she oversees playtime for the children of five families who live there. She's one of 1500 playtime activity leaders in the state who do such work with the organization each week.
"I just let the kids run for 10 minutes" at the beginning of their playtime, she said. "It's really their only chance to do something wild."
Unlike most children, those who live in a homeless shelter don't have their own room or play area, so it's important they get the opportunity to play. Caitlin Doran, who works at Horizons for Homeless Children, said the organization has 150 playspaces in Massachusetts and works with 2400 kids every week. Volunteers commit to working at least two hours a week for six months.
Gardner said that, after letting them run around for 10 minutes, the kids in her shelter usually settle down to more productive types of play, adding, "it's so good to be able to give these kids the opportunity to play and discover."
Despite the possible challenges of working with homeless children, Gardner said, "Generally, the kids are in there for fun. Generally we don't run into a lot of issues."
Inevitably, she said, her time at the shelter is the "highlight of my week."

I'll seat them like the top one, (30-06,) then measure. If the next batch of bullets are a bit off like the 30-30 case on the bottom, I'll leave it alone. But if it further off than that I'll seat it like the top and call it good.
The pic I provided is displaying the exact bullet you list, it is in a 30-06 case at the seating depth the 7th Edition Hornady loading manual prescribes for that bullet; 3.230, fits perfectly,
shoots wonderfully!
load to the Max COL for max accuracy
Where are you getting these notions? I get less than half inch groups seated in the cannelure, just as in the pic I have displayed.
There is no magical property of "Max COL" as far as accuracy. Not exceeding the "Maximum COL" is to assure magazine operation.
Check this out:
That is a COL of 3.468! Will not work in a magazine, but the accuracy is wonderful in my M-1917.

Know about this?
Staying healthy in Singapore
I had my one and only fainting episode on a visit to Singapore. I of course had not drank enough fluids. Wandering around the Botanical Gardens, I was oblivious to the heat- and within an hour found myself lying on the footpath. I am now almost paranoid about this , and will never have another faint in Singapore.
The heat and humidity are dangerous and debilitating.
It is VERY important to drink as much fluids as possible. Water is best, bottled.Keep one with you at all times. Should you start feeling weak- go immediately to a pharmacy shop, and buy some hydrating solution.
Its also important to wear a sunhat, and use sunscreen. Even if the skies are cloudy, sunburn happens easily. A small folding umbrella is handy to have- for possible showers, or to provide shade from the sun.- Historical Travel
- Arts and Culture
- Architecture
Raindrops keep falling on my head...
Tropical showers come and go quickly and often without any warning.
You may here a clap of thunder perhaps but mostly the skies just open up.
This heavy shower cleared the shops swifltly but it was business as usual as soon as the rain stopped.- Family Travel
Soggy cameras are not good!
Singapore is situated just 2 degrees North of the Equator, so it is always very hot and humid. This is a given, but what I hadn't thought of was the effect it could have on my camera. The heat and humidity were fine once the camera had been given a bit of time to adjust, but I learnt that coming straight from the air conditioning of the hotel, when I first took the camera from its case the lens completely misted up and took a good five minutes or so to clear. So give your camera time to adjust before taking any shots, in fact do this before you plan to take any photos. That way you won't be cursing the misty lens because it made you miss a great photo opportunity!
Minimize outdoor activities if hazy
At certain years and a fews of the months, when forest fires occur in Sumatra, Indonesia, wind conditions may bring haze to Singapore as well neigbhoring countries.
Avoid heavy outdoor activities and keep alert of the any health hazard warnings in the local news. For those with respiratory problems, better to stay indoor. There are shopping centers, museums and cinemas to explore and be entertained.
Fortunately, this is not a common occurence. -
Carry an umbrella when it rains
Even on Orchard Road, it is difficult to get around Singapore when it rain. There are not many rain covered taxi stands outside of Orchard Road area.
There are no complete protection from the rain. So it is important to bring along an umbrella when going out on raining days or when it looks like it going rain.
Many major department stores will provide plastic sheaths for your wet umbrellas before entering. Bring an umbrella and stay dry. -
Indonesians causing the haze
Around September and October, there is haze due to Indonesians burning their forests. 2006 is particularly bad. The local news publishes the PSI as a measure of how bad it is. Over 100 is suppose to be bad. The PSI fluctuates every hour.
I was there in October, 2006 and it's bad. One night was the worst night that year, according to the news. I could tell it was bad because I could smell smoke. Usually, you can't smell smoke just can see far away buildings very clearly.
I was in Singapore in October, 2005 and it was fine. The sky was blue and not very hazy. -
Sunny Singapore
Yes, Singapore can get very sunny. Sunny, not in a good way, but in a very uncomfortable way. Imagine going out at lunch time and walking to and from the bus stop. The sun is up, it's shining brightly, it's making you feel like you're in an oven or something. Try waiting for a cab in the afternoon with your nice suit and/or blazer on. Man! Quite a challenge, I'm telling you. A dark coloured umbrella may come in handy. Sunblock, which you can apply before going out, is a must. When the temperature is 33 degrees Celsius, you would rather stay in an airconditioned area to beat the heat.
- Business Travel
- Work Abroad
- Road Trip
Singapore is very near the Equator, is often humid and is very hot. Don't be fooled by your surroundings. Singapore is an amazing cosmopolitan city that you would hate to collapse in from dehydration. Make sure you take some water with you if you are going on a long walk across Fort Canning and make sure you keep your fluids up. Many hotels and businesses are air-conditioned, so pop in from time to time to stay cool. It's best to put sunscreen on first thing in the morning if you will be out all day. I would recommend a good sun hat for children. Definitely pack your sunglasses for this sunny destination. -
High Humidity
Being a tropical country, Singapore has a very high humidity and it's not that easy to cope with it if you're not used to this kind of climate. Make sure you always have a bottle of water with you and take everything a bit slowlier than at home. After all you're on holiday and don't need to hurry ;-)
- Family Travel
A Little Forewarning 2
If you are a would-be traveller to Singapore, hold your horses. All that glitz, glamour and hullabaloo you expect to see in Singapore are just nondescript, kitsch setups to lure tourists and their travel dollar. Every country presents disappointments of its own and my purpose is to inform you of those belonging to Singapore. Take it from me, a native born and bred in this tiny, wretched land.
Part 2:
Hot and humid beyond comprehension. Don't be fooled by the year-round 33 degrees celcius forecasts; it actually feels more like 40C. Factor in the humidity and it's as good as walking in one big sauna--for the entire day. I've been to China in summer and although it's rather hot, the heat is more appropriately described as 'dry'. You don't pespire that easily over there. In Singapore, be prepared for one wet experience (not the rain) but your own sweat draining your energy away. For those from temperate Europe, this can be an extremely uncomfortable experience. You can feel angered and agitated from the unforgiving heat.
The People
If you're a caucasian (white), you're probably in luck. Heard of the 'friendly' locals in Singapore? They're friendly because of your skin colour. Sales staff will fawn over you as if you're a descendant of the sun god (though not necessarily to the point of licking your toes, but almost). As soon as you step into a store, be prepared to be greeted by staff who speak in affected English. They contort their already terrible Singapore accent into what they perceive as American or British. Now cringe.
The attitude immediately changes when a local enters the store; he's pretty much left to his own devices. SOME singapore women are also in favour of caucasians who in their perception, are wealthier and classier. Take a walk down Orchard Road (the famed shopping belt of Singapore) and you're likely to see women proudly sporting their caucasian catch. Of course, I could be generalising but the gist of this section is: if you're white, you will generally receive better treatment.- Budget Travel

Let there be rain!
One day when we were wandering the streets in our shorts and t-shirts, looking for a restaurant, the heavens opened and let rip for at least 20 mins, after a seamingly bright day!!
Not very nice when your hungry, so maybe keep a small umbrella with you...especially as Singapore is practically a tropical rainforest!!- Eco-Tourism
Air-Con No Help!
The weather is very HOT! and HUMID! Even if you find an air conditioned place to step into, the coolness you feel will only last a few minutes and then you may wilt quicker than a rose! I spent the first four days complaining about the heat and humidity. I just couldn't believe that anyone could actually live in such humid heat.
After the first four days I became acclimated to the heat and humidity and was able to notice things differently. The most impressive thing I noticed was how calm and patient people seemed to be all the time. While sitting by the pool at the hotel I also noticed that the flies were flying exceptionally slow too. Also, this hot and humid weather is wonderful for Orchids! They thrive here.- Archeology

Watch out for the monsoon rain!
Being used to the swedish rainfalls (there comes one drop, then another one, then two, three and after a while it slowly starts raining quite much) it was quite of a shock to suddently stay in the middle of a monsoon rainfall in Singapore.
It comes from nowhere, and starts with billions of drops falling down at you at the same time.
In a country where it's as hot and humid as in Singapore it can actually be quite nice with some rain everynow and then, but just make sure it it won't catch you in a bad place.
On one of my first trips in Singapore I remember I was laying at the hotel pool, reading a book, when suddently the whole sky fell down on me. Not even one drop I got as a warning...
Fortunately then of course I could just ran ten steps and I was inside the safe hotel again, but netherless I was soaked from top to toe in just seconds.
Quite funny I have to admit.
Monsoon season goes on from about October until February. Just remember that when it rains, it really rains. But quite soon it stops and it's time for sunshine again.
The two pictures are taken from inside my hotel room, the same angle, no fixed photos. The first one is from when it's nice weather outside, and you clearly can see the skyscraper in the background.
The second one is of the same thing, during the monsoon rainfall. And you can see the skyscraper... eh... less good. -
It's not always Sunny Singapore
hi there,
Actually the weather in Singapore is not always hot. It's a tropical island, meaning there're just as much rain as there is sun.
The monsoon seasons happen twice a year. The first is the Northeast Monsoon which occurs from December to early March. The second , the Southeast Monsoon season, which occurs from June to September. The rest of the time -- Sunny. :D
Hope that helps!- Family Travel

Unpredicable Showers!
It's hot in Singapore but the weather can be very nasty. It can be unpredictable like warm in the morning and rainy in the afternoon. It's always good to have an umbrella to protect yourself from the scorching heat of the sun or from heaven's showers. And when it's rainy, it's quite tough to get a cab or to book one for that matter.

Event Studies and the Law: Part II - Empirical Studies of Corporate Law
This paper is the second part of a review of the event study methodology, which has proved to be one of the most successful uses of econometrics in policy analysis. In this part we focus on the methodology's application to corporate law and corporate governance issues. Event studies have played an important role in the making of corporate law and in corporate law scholarship. The reason for this input is twofold. First, there is a match between the methodology and subject matter: the goal of corporate law is to increase shareholder wealth and event studies provide a metric for measurement of the impact upon stock prices of policy decisions. Second, because the participants in corporate law debates share the objective of corporate law, to adopt policies that enhance shareholder wealth, their disagreeDownload Info

A MAN has been accused of raping a girl and subjecting her to sexual abuse.
A jury has told been told that the girl "freaked out" after falling asleep at an address in the Furness area and woke to find David Thomson allegedly touching her.
It has also been claimed that he raped her while she was "out of her head" on ecstasy.
Thomson, 47, of Whinsfield Avenue in the Ormsgill area of Barrow, has gone on trial at Preston Crown Court where he denies a total of eight charges. The indictment includes one count of rape and three counts of sexual activity with a child.
Mr Martin Hackett, prosecuting, said the alleged victim made the claims about what had happened while being treated for a depressive illness. The police went on to become involved.
The court heard she wasn't in a right state of mind to say yes or no. The prosecution claims she did not consent to sex. She made a complaint to police in 2011 over the alleged abuse.
Mr Hackett told the jury: "The defendant put before the police a prepared statement in his defence.
"He asserted that the complainant had exhibited delusional behaviour. He denied each and every charge put to him."
The trial continues.

Fashion, like most things, is
cyclical. Sometimes you forget this fact until one day you find yourself wearing an
updated version of a look you owned years earlier. While, there are some
styles that should probably be left in the past (day glow colors, legwarmers,
any coif that requires gravity-defying hairspray, to name a few), others should
be welcomed back with open arms. One example: there's a new vintage
inspired Giorgio Armani optical collection coming out next month. These retro,
hand-assembled frames recall designs from generations ago. While they employ
traditional crafting—such as hinges attached by riveted pins—the light plastic
on this style gives it a modern edge. It's the best of both worlds.
The clean designs of this
collection are true to the Armani tradition. This classic metal aviator, for
example, is another elegant option for a guy who wants a simple and timeless style
statement for his most obvious asset – his face.
Frames range in price from $250-$300. Visit the Armani site for more information.

Amsterdam History Facts and Timeline
(Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands)
Historical evidence points to Amsterdam starting out life as a place of Roman occupation. However, it was probably not a large Roman settlement, because archaeological finds on the site are few and far between. History therefore suggests that this area was little more than a swampy tract of land.
In the 12th and 13th centuries, many dykes were built, freeing up land and allowing settlements to grow. A barrier was built on the River Amstel, allowing the flood waters of the Zuiderzee to be controlled. It is known that by 1275, a settlement known as Amestelledamme was in existence. A charter was granted by Floris V, the Count of Holland, which allowed toll fees on the Amstel dam to be waived. This was to be a pivotal time for Amsterdam, encouraging trade and allowing it to expand.
The second turning point for medieval Amsterdam came in the late 14th century, when some of its canals were constructed, opening up trade still further. The city's merchants exported cloth and salt in return for such commodities as timber and grain. In fact, such was the demand that the port soon had to be extended.
Early Modern History
In the 16th century, the city came under the control of the Spanish Empire. The main religion in Spain was Roman Catholicism. However, in Amsterdam, Protestantism had taken hold. So too had a particularly fervent branch of Protestantism known as Calvinism.
A lack of religious tolerance led to a long period of rebellion by locals against their ruler's beliefs. In 1535, a group of Anabaptists were executed. Then, in 1579, William the Silent created a Dutch republic. The new republic was to be made up of seven provinces, one of which was Holland. Amsterdam was its dominant city.
By the beginning of the 17th century, Amsterdam had grown into a port that had a vast influence over trade between
and Scandinavia. The East and West India companies were set up at this time. As Holland flourished, so too did Amsterdam. Explorers set off from the city to all points on the globe, from South America to New Zealand. The city could soon boast one of the largest ship building industries in the whole of Europe.
In 1618, Catholicism was outlawed and many Catholics in Amsterdam were driven underground in their attempts to worship. Finally, in 1648, a century of religious conflict came to an end when the Spanish signed the Peace Treaty of Westphalia.
History tells us that from 1700, Amsterdam's fortunes did not fare quite so well. Perhaps the pioneering spirit of those early years had faded. Innovation was replaced by conservatism, while a series of exceptionally cold winters certainly did not help matters. The city's support of the American War of Independence led to British blockage of the Dutch coast. Around the world, many Dutch interests were closed down.
From the 19th Century to the Present Day
The early 19th century was characterised by political instability on a grand scale. In 1794, Napoleon's troops arrived in the Netherlands, followed by counterattacks by the British - all of which didn't do much for trade in Amsterdam. Commercialism gave way to agriculture and the city's harbour was left to deteriorate, with
taking over much of Amsterdam's trade. In 1814, the city became part of the newly formed state of the Netherlands.
Finally, in the second half of 19th-century history, Amsterdam's fortunes seemed to be on the rise. They were helped along by a recent international discovery - diamonds had been found in
South Africa
. The diamond industry did particularly well here and before long, the city was once again managing to attract workers. Some of the city's famous canals were backfilled, to be turned into roads.
In World War One, the city retained its neutrality. Nevertheless, it did not fare well. Frequent shortages of food let to social unrest in the city. The interwar years were a period of prosperity here. Amsterdam was the most important industrial city in the Netherlands, with a vibrant motor industry, tobacco factories and steel plants. From 1920, it was possible to fly from Amsterdam to London, using KLM's new air service.
Amsterdam didn't escape the effects of the worldwide depression of the 1930s. Nor did it escape the tension that existed in Europe as events unfolded that were to lead to the outbreak of World War Two. The city became a refuge for Jewish people escaping from Germany. In 1940, Amsterdam was occupied by German forces. By 1944, the situation in the city was desperate. Fuel stocks were low, food was short and any public services had long since stopped. Many of the city's residents died from lack of food or the cold. In May 1945, the city was liberated by Canadian troops.
The post-war period was one of growth for the city. In 1952, the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal was opened. New housing estates sprang up all over the city. These included the Bijlmer, a project that was completed in the 1970s. Today, the Dutch capital retains its status as the largest city in the Netherlands and is also a busy tourist destination, known for its infamous red light district.

Not All Republicans Embrace Big Business All The Time
By Don Gonyea
Originally published on Thu September 26, 2013 4:12 am
The Republican Party in the past has had a close relationship with Wall Street and big business. But lately there's growing tension and disagreement as some Republicans in Congress consider a possible government shutdown. The Tea Party seems to have the strongest criticism of big business.

I had a few little 4x6" canvases laying around with crappy paintings on them and though they'd be better put to use as test canvases. So here's a little series of auto related collage-y thingies. It's fun trying to learn a new art medium...it's been way too long.

SVS Optical Center's founders opened their first shop in Sterling Heights, Michigan, in 1974 to help the community clear up its vision. But even these optical gurus never foresaw their humble business expanding to more than 50 locations sprawled across 10 states. Today, each shop continues the tradition of ensuring ocular health and crystalline sight, beginning with exams from seasoned optometrists. Afterward, patients head to the optical dispensary, where they try on frames by Coach, Tiffany, Nike, Versace, or Ray-Ban. The staff then fits the stylish selection with polarized and scratch-protected prescription lenses to help guests read books clearly or see a charging moose from a distance. Most of SVS Optical Center's frames can also hold sunglass lenses as well, eliminating squinting during summer months and tropical vacations.
Virginia Eye Consultants has been championing clear vision since 1963 and today tweaks imperfect peepers with the help of high-tech tools and a skilled staff. To determine candidacy for the Lasik procedure, each prospective patient undergoes a consultation, which includes initial measurements, a video about the procedure, and a meeting with one of the practice's seven doctors. In the Lasik procedure, a doctor painlessly creates a small flap in the cornea with the WaveLight FS200 laser, then reshapes the cornea using cool ultraviolet light. When all vision problems have been corrected, the flap is put back into place and quickly heals on its own, much like a lizard's tail or a movie star's ego. The entire procedure takes about 15 minutes, and vision should notably improve within two hours. Some patients experience discomfort for the first day but it typically is mild. Click here for additional FAQs and medical disclosure.
Dr. Ron Frenkel began his studies at Washington University in St. Louis before returning to his native Connecticut to obtain an MD, and eventually moving to Virginia to found AAPECS Eye Care with the desire for pursuing the latest technologies in vision restoration. Dr. Frenkel draws from a strong family tradition of eye care, filling the shoes of his father, also an ophthalmologist, but shunning traditional treatments of glasses, contacts, and intense squinting by catapulting ocular health into the future through a range of laser-based and glasses-free vision-correction treatments. Customized iLasik procedures safely and swiftly reshape corneas based on computerized corneal maps, while cataract surgeries and glaucoma treatment regimens can potentially help whisk away cloudy visions bringing about the gift of sight.
Staffed by a team of nine eye doctors and surgeons, Tidewater Eye Center has racked up recognition in three categories from HamptonRoads.com's Best of Hampton Roads, including Best Health Care Provider and Best Place for Laser Vision Correction. Patients can receive a variety of optometry services at each of the clinic's three locations, including basic eye exams; treatments for glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration; and even aesthetic procedures, including eyelid surgery. Yet, the center's most popular treatment is blade-free LASIK eye surgery, which eliminates the need for lenses and soda-bottle monocles in as little as 15 minutes.
At Eye 2 Eye Optometric Center, Matthew L. Gada, OD, leverages 15 years of eyecare experience to thoroughly assess customers' ocular orbs and prescribe corrective lenses or contacts. With meticulous skill and state-of-the art equipment, Dr. Gada snaps retinal photos to check for eye disease and conducts a refraction test to determine the appropriate prescription. His office stocks an array of frames or yoked monocles, with styles from designers such as Calvin Klein, Fendi, Oakley, and Vera Wang.
The master stylists at Visions Hair Studio beautify ladies and gents with haircuts, color treatments, mani-pedis, waxing, and airbrush-tanning services. Top-quality products by Bö Essentials and L'Oréal fuel each spa or hair treatment, resulting in a more lavish experience than diving into a pool of bonbons. In addition to taming wild manes, the salon helps out a number of animal charities by coordinating donations and hosting adoption programs.

How To Not Be Shy
Use the following tips so you can learn how to not be shy. Shyness can interfere with the things you want to do in life. You will miss a lot of great opportunities if you let your shyness consume you. You will open a whole new door of possibilities by learning how to not be shy. You will be more willing to ask someone on date, make new friends or ask for a promotion at work. It's a great feeling when you can finally overcome this social fear.
- Figure out what triggers your shyness. Everyone experiences shyness in different ways. To learn how to not be shy, you must determine what triggers it. Does it happen when there is a large group of people? Are you uncomfortable when meeting a new individual? Once you figure out the underlying cause, you can begin to change your ways of thinking.
- Don't Take Things Personally. One of the most important things when you're learning how to not be shy is to shrug things off. If you were rejected when you asked someone on a date, don't take it personally. Some things aren't meant to be. It's hard to be social and open with others when you know rejection is a possibility. However, everyone deals with it at one point or another. If you don't take things personally, you will have an easier time remaining confident in social situations.
- Find your strengths. If you want to learn how to not be shy, find out what your strengths are. For instance, if you're quiet, maybe you're a good listener. Knowing your strengths will boost your self-esteem, as well as your ego. Rather than dwelling on the things you're not good at, focus your time and energy on areas in which you excel.
- Don't label yourself. If you call yourself a shy person, you're going to feel inclined to live up to the label. Not only that, but you will also feel like you have to live up to the label if other people think you're a shy person. The best thing to do is get rid of the labels. You are more likely to be outgoing if you don't refer to yourself as a shy person.
- Don't try to conform. When figuring out how to not be shy, make sure you're not trying to conform to others. It's best to be yourself. Trying to fit in can be exhausting. If you embrace being your own person, you will have more confidence. Confidence is one of the most important factors when it comes to not being shy.

Sculpture Honoring Ida B. Wells to be Built in Chicago
City Looks To Rebuild Wells' Legacy
An effort is under way to build a memorial sculpture of civil rights pioneer Ida B. Wells, whose name is also the namesake of the former housing projects once located on Chicago's South Side.
The Ida B. Wells Commemorative Art Committee is in charge of raising money for the project—a sculpture in the middle of a large grassy median on 37th Street and Langley Avenue in the historically African-American neighborhood of Bronzeville on the city's South Side.
Chicago artist Richard Hunt is to create the sculpture, which is expected to combine images of Wells with inscriptions of her writings.
Wells was a crusader against injustice and outspoken anti-lynching activist who wrote about the lynching of African-Americans around the country as a journalist. Her rhetoric became a staple for the civil rights and women's suffrage movements.
In 1940, three years after her death, the Chicago Ida B. Wells housing complex was built. The homes offered more than 860 apartments and nearly 800 row houses and garden apartments to low-income families. By the 1990s, the housing complex had become known for its gangs and drugs. Eventually the city tore down the buildings, along with several other housing complexes throughout the city.
The memorial sculpture is being built to restore and rebuild Ida B. Wells' legacy.
"Her name itself just reverberates through the community," Carol Adams, president of Chicago's DuSable Museum of African-American History, who once worked in the Ida B. Wells Homes, told the Associated Press.
"It was her voice, her stance that she took regarding lynching and how she used the media to wage that fight, what that fight meant to us. This was very significant for black people all over the country."

All of their ribs and sauces are gluten-free. Manager in Summerville was proud to let us know about their gluten-free menu. Ask for it. One more reason that Sticky Fingers is my favorite restaurant!
7921 Abercorn Street, Savannah, GA 31406
As noted by other reviewers, there is not a separate gf menu, but an allergen guide that can be cross-referenced with the regular menu. It's pretty easy to navigate though, and I ordered the half-rack of ribs and pulled pork, along with baked beans. It was hard to get a sense for how thoroughly they understood cross-contamination concerns, but the food was outstanding (especially the ribs), and I had no issues.
7921 Abercorn Street, Savannah, GA 31406
I had the pulled pork platter and baked beans. (I'm always scared to try cole slaw since mayo is used on bread so much and could get crumbs in it.) they just handed us an allergen guide, not a GF menu. The food was cheap, hot, and good. I was too full to finish mine. The place is not in historic Savannah and its family friendly and casual.
