That would be PARKS and Wildlife.

So, what do you think about that story? Should he be fined for eating that bird? |
"Conserve Wildlife Habitat" Since: Dec 10 16,603 SE Michigan |
No, he shouldn't be find. I'd rather see someone get some benefit from the tragic death. What difference does it make if a human eats it, or if another animal eats it? But.......... I wouldn't want people to get the impression they could "innocently" cause the deaths of other birds by "creating" unnecessary hazards around their home- just for an easy meal- or if they decide they don't want the birds around anymore. |

You mean I have to take all the windmills out of my crystal clear curtainless windows? That is not happening. <chuckle> |
"Conserve Wildlife Habitat" Since: Dec 10 16,603 SE Michigan |
Yep. You also have to take down your swimming pool, keep your garage door shut, quit using pesticides, stop driving, keep yoor cat in the house with your wind mills, and cover your curtainless windows with screens. |

I'd bet big bucks you could do just fine. Wanting to is a different ballgame. And you of all people that have ever posted on this board have done the most magnificent job of treating all with respect, whether due or not. Hope you're having some fun today Jeanne :) My Best, |

This goes beyond poaching. Anyone caught harming wildlife in any manner should face the same punishment they inflicted on their victim.

Come on, Mitt, WTF!! A statement like this blows it for the "environmental" people and the wildlife enthusiasts out there.
"The administration brought a criminal action against the people drilling up there for oil, this massive new resource we have. And what was the cost? 20 or 25 birds were killed and brought out a migratory bird act to go after them on a criminal basis. Look, I want to make sure we use our oil, our coal, our gas, our nuclear, our renewables. I believe very much in our renewable capabilities; ethanol, wind, solar will be an important part of our energy mix." This woud have made a far better impact: "20 or 25 birds were killed and brought out a migratory bird act to go after them on a criminal basis." Next paragraph......... "Look, I want to make sure we use our oil, our coal, our gas, our nuclear, our renewables... to the extent they are reliable AND ecofriendly. But what the Obama administration doesn't tell people about this wind power he pushes so much is that tall structures, such as wind turbines, kill TENS OF MILLIONS of birds every year. And they plow under FOREVER millions of acres to do it.... for an energy source that's intermittant at best. Look, just Google 'Altamont Pass bird kills.' That's just ONE wind farm and it only represents ONE study, of mainly just ONE species- the Golden Eagle. Now this is a very large bird that's easy to see laying dead out there over thousands of acres. What about the other 800 or so bird species across the continent that are much smaller and never get found after they've been killed on wind farms that span for miles and miles? You see, I care about being energy independant, and I also care about the environment. Wind power isn't as green as President Obama would like everyone to believe. I wonder, why hasn't he brought out the Migratory Bird Act against the Big Wind companies? |

"TENS OF MILLIONS" eh? PROVE it. You can not. How much wind energy you need today Raptor? Hang on a few hours it'll be there soon. <smile> |
"Evolved hunter/gatherer" Since: Jan 08 34,979 Location hidden |
BTW Raptor, your link in your prior post does not work.
"Evolved hunter/gatherer" Since: Jan 08 34,979 Location hidden |
A bit melodramatic I'd say, and untruthful to boot. Would you like to see some photos of RECLAIMED farm ground that WAS a wind farm at one time? Is not concrete removable and the ground then plowable again? |
"Conserve Wildlife Habitat" Since: Dec 10 16,603 SE Michigan |
Is this proof enough? From first link: The purpose of this document is to increase public awareness of the potential impacts of towers and other human-made structures by highlighting some of the pertinent literature on the subject. The bibliography focuses primarily on collisions with communication towers, lighted buildings, and (to a lesser degree) windows. No effort has been made to cover collisions with power lines or wind turbines,... http://library.fws.gov/bird_publications/bird... Notice the date-Revised 1998. Also that there have been NO studies on wind turbines as of that date, according to this article. From second link: Communication towers estimates of bird kills are impossible to make because of the lack of data, but totals could easily be over 5 million birds/year, and possibly as many as 50 million. Towers have proliferated in recent years, with an estimated 5000 new towers erected per year during the 1990s, mainly for the cell phone and digital TV industries. Any tall structure will kill birds by collision, and lighted towers attract birds at night. Theoretically cellphone towers are less dangerous than the taller structures, but there is no data either way, and the sheer number of cell phone towers may outweigh any other advantage. ....and there is a real need for more study of the relationship between birds and wind farms. http://www.sibleyguides.com/conservation/caus... From third link: Millions of migratory birds are killed by striking tall buildings, TV and radio towers, lighthouses, and edifices such as the Perry Monument on Lake Erie. One September night the 555-foot high Washington Monument took a toll of 576 vireos and warblers between 10:30 P.M. and midnight. A newly erected TV tower on the outskirts of Topeka, Kansas killed 1,090 birds of 61 species over a period of several days. A TV tower at Eau Claire, Wisconsin killed an estimated 20,000 vireos and warblers the night of September 19 -20, 1963. http://www.netwalk.com/~vireo/devastatingtoll... For anyone to make the claim that wind turbines kill fewer birds than communication towers is just ridiculous. First question: Has this issue been studied yet or not? If so, at how many wind farms and for how many seasons? Second question: If birds are slamming into lighted communication towers and other tall buildings during their nighttime migrations, how in the world are they missing the wind turbines, which are also lighted, the same height in many cases, and take up even more surface area than a cell tower? Third question: How many wind turbines exist compared to the number of cell towers? |

Of course concrete can be removed and earth can be plowed. The problem then lies with what will grow there. Usually non-native invasive weeds take over the native plants these days. |

A bear goes in human territory and it gets killed. A human goes in bear territory and the bear gets killed. What kind of sick society have we created? Humans need to get the hell out of Alaska if they don't want to be bear food! This guy had no protection from bears? No gun? No bear spray? Get real! He deserved what he got.

There was absolutely nothing in that article that said one word about what personal protection he may or may not have had on that trip. Did he purposefully go onto that beach or was a mechanical failure to blame? He got what he deserved because his boat quit? Give me a break. You talk like he went there on purpose with no protection whatsoever. That is simplely untrue and there is no way to know what personal protection he had or did not have. How would YOU, all by yourself, protect a cache of food from hungry bears? |
"Evolved hunter/gatherer" Since: Jan 08 34,979 Location hidden |
You can grow just about anything you wish in any soil. All you have to do is find out what the soil lacks for your particular crop and add it to the soil and mix it in. Simple really. I can show you a spot that has been drenched in used motor oil many times over a period of years and the grass looks just like the grass next to it. Yes, there is grass growing on the used motor oil drenched spot. The problem is you, once again, going off half cocked and making statements that you can not back up - like your ridiculous claim that the land was lost to crops FOREVER. <rolls eyes> |
"Evolved hunter/gatherer" Since: Jan 08 34,979 Location hidden |
Hey, now here's an idea. How about you ask someone who actually made such a statement, those questions. |
"Conserve Wildlife Habitat" Since: Dec 10 16,603 SE Michigan |
The ABC Islands are heavily populated with bears. Yhey are genetically more closely related to polar bears than to other brown bears. Polar Bears are man-eaters. Other bears kill and eat humans too. He was logging in the Alaska wilderness. He had to take a 50 mile boat trip down the river just to get groceries. He's alone in Bear Heaven with GROCERIES. Boats can have mechanical problems just like cars. There's a chance he could be stranded in Bear Heaven with GROCERIES. There was a "struggle" the article claimed. If your boat fails and you end up on a remote beach in Alaska, you can see if bears are around.(They're kinda big, ya know.) If bears are nearby, you would have your protection ready- I would think. The fact that there was a struggle tells me he had none, or didn't have it ready. If he's unarmed, why would he be holding his GROCERIES trying to defend them from bears? The whole story seems a little ridiculous to me. I wouldn't put myself in that situation. I don't see you putting yourself in that situation either. Isn't it about thinning out the gene pool? |

: MediaTakeOut.com just got word from an EXTREMELY RELIABLE insider . . . two nights ago, Chris Brown and Rihanna got into a HUGE FIGHT - but luckily for them both, the fight was NOT physical.
According to our insider, the fight first started when Rihanna called Chris Brown and asked him to meet her at the studio. Chris refused, choosing instead to go out with his friends.
And since then, Rihanna called up Chris Brown at least a dozen times over the past two days - each time, she launched into a tirade of curse words.
To his credit, we're told, Chris Brown has tried to defuse the situation. Our insider explained, "Rihanna is under a lot of stress [with her new album] and she wants [Chris] with her all the time. But Chris has his own stuff to do."
The insider told MediaTakeOut.com, "[Rihanna] is very extra. She orders him around like 'come here' . . . 'do this.'" MediaTakeOut.com's insider added,"That sh*t used to work before [when Chris and Rihanna were together], but Chris is a lot older. He's a man and so you can't do him like that anymore."
No word on whether the two plan on kissing and making up anytime soon.
@lasheatria30 i always think the same thing. MTO says something with no proof or evidence and people are quick to believe them and comment like its true. The only reason a blog like MTO exists is because of all the gullible ignorant people who probably don't care if the stories on here are true or not, they just need something to talk about. Smh.
she dont really want chris, she just wanted to prove to that *** koochiecutter, that she can *** him back...now she gonna drop his *** and give him back..i does this all the time..lol..cry and *** to the world that i love him , he feel like he made a mistake and come back and i throw hell his way, fight, act a fool, act difficult, and make him regret that he left his gf, and make him realized he got played...so she b a fool to take him back cause he left her for me, the one she said he dont love me no more, and i make him ***, cause when he came back it proved he really love me to the world...so i b the one come out on top...lol
I just came on this post to say: President Obama was on point last *** - so why is this Chris-Rhi *** TOP NEWS??!! They both seem very unhappy period!! Money isn't a guarantee for happiness!!
If you have never voted before, it is very important that you vote this November to keep OUR President in office!!!
I said it would b less than 3 months, *** it seems like I was right. Once a *** crosses u, it'll never b the same. That d!ck don't feel the same, nor do it taste the same. She did right by going back 2 c if it was still there, *** all it did was allowed her 2 put closure 2 the situation. He went from the love of her life, 2 something 2 do. Now she definitely knows *** her heart, mind, body, *** soul he's no good 4 her.
The debate isn't Top news Because Mto feel like they're dealing with ignorant peopLe who "wouldn't" care about it anyways..so they put up these fluff pieces as a filler because MTO never has note worthy News to report and they steal they're stories from T....M.....Z and B. Ossip I used to work for Takeout medIa in ny and this is the same company...look how MTO reports our "stories" as compared to how other entertainment sites report they used to tell us get as much hits as you can even if you have to "stretch" the truth..this *** wack. SMh
I don't know rih personally... However I have Friends that are very close to thier situation in LA... And rih is verbally and physically abusive to chris and has been thier entire relationship even before the *** whoppin... I thought she would Clean up her act being that they went thru all that but it looks like she's back to her old tricks. People this story more than likely came from a resource in his camp... I've had his dancers and people that work with him tell me the SAME THING... Rih is no joke!!! Jealous!!!
You are absolutely right about someone from his camp sent this in to MTO. This story is absolutely 10000000% TRUE, I tell ya. I know it isn't BS. Rihanna is BOSSY and CONTROLLING. Chris ended up looking like the bad one when they used to date but no one knows how possessive, jealous and obsessed Rihanna is. She's horrible. I had a friend who met Chris back in 2008 at his concert backstage and she also saw Rihanna with him. She said Rihanna didn't like the fact that she was talking to Chris and she kept giving her dirty looks to try and intimidate her. Rihanna has a bad temper and her own fans love to defend her when she is wrong. I know so many people who said she is such a stuck up ***. Ciara even said she wasn't very nice when she met her.
Here is the thing. Rihanna doesn't need Chris in her life and vice versa. He is not her brother, father or related to her at all so i do not understand why she needs him around. Her obsession with him is abnormal. She has no right demanding that he goes with her to the mall, movie theater, or recording studio when he has his OWN life and career to worry about. He needs to prepare for his tour. He *** be messing around with her knowing it can distract him from his work. They are not married or in a serious relationship so what she is doing is inappropriate. She did this when he was in a relationship and she should know better not to. Chris is a great guy. I do love him and his music, but i don't want him to mess up his career again by getting involved with this psychopath. Please Chris, send her an honest message and tell her you can't do this anymore! Free yourself !
These two have a toxic relationship and are not good for one another. All that they do is bring out the "worst" in each other. They both have issues that they need to sort out by going to therapy. Both Rihanna and Chris have witnessed their fathers being abusive towards their mothers. So, this is all that they know and that is the major reason why they are attracted to one another without realizing it. You attract who you are. So yes, they may have only had a verbal fight, but should this continue, it will turn into a physical altercation sooner or later. Give it some time, this union will not work out. They need to stay away from each other and get some help.
Honestly i dont put anything past these 2 , Rihanna and Chris brown are just trying to create controversy by any means necessary, Rihanna should've kept it moving, but some how her thirsty azz fans have convinced her that she's above more than most, when in reality she's just another no talent having broad in the industry business, who happened to meet the right people at the right time, she has no respect for herself, so why should any dude respect her , if Chris threw them hands at her again i wouldn't care , Rihanna is setting herself up for many I told you 's, she better be prepared , there's a lot of heart aches on the way when dealing with Chris brown, if only this chick put the same amount of energy into her singing voice as she does into Chris brown, then maybe, just maybe ill take her career serious,

I swear he's dumb. Karrueche seemed like a cool girlfriend to have, she didn't act needy. She and Chris were together alot but she didn't seem like the controlling type. Their relationship just seemed to have ran smoothly. I couldn't stand being with a girl who makes the relationship about her. Rihanna seems like the type that loves being lusted after, and having that power over a dudes heart. Besides the woman that get beaten by soft men who need their *** beaten, these are the type of women that suffer from abusive relationships. They can make someone snap. I don't know why he really hit her but he wasn't all aggressive with Kae that way. And I feel like she only cried and missed him because she felt unwanted by him. I guarantee if that fight ended his career, and he was broke, she would not have been thinking of him. She's immature, bitter, and lame af. I like her music and style, but she seems like a witch. Take your posing *** back to the island with that ***, Riri.
@kutta not just poppin off at the mouth... Whoopin his ***. Like I said the young Hollywood and entertainment community is sooo small here and rih has whopped on him in public places before... Not super public but events... Backstage etc where she THINK no one is watching... No she never deserved to be the victim of what he did just like that lady on the bus... But stop puttin yo hands on folks!!!
Who cares? I am so sick and tired of these ignorant *** black people making fools out of themselves. He is a woman beater and she is a fool for even going back to him. It's not love it's stupidity. I would never, ever, ever waist a dime of my money buying either one of their music. I refuse to support ignorance, stupidity and foolery. These are the people parents are allowing their children to worship and make their idols, leading them straight to hell. *** ***.
Riri can't punish Chris with the world on her side, and then try to be his savior in order to love him . Chris appearances with her early October was not for relationship purposes, but to fill his desire for professional acceptance/redemption (Chris before the incident and name calling) and an ego rush for 2 reasons. If Riri welcome his company for the world to see - then it means she has forgiven him and feels safe in his company (then the world should to), and, to show Drake following the incident, that at the end of the day (he Drake) was irrelevant. But relationship-wise it can't work because he already paid a dear price and has been working hard to bounce back and be recognized for his achievement and not reminded about his past mistake every step of the way. As you saw Riri's Vogue interview she said she needs a *** man to deal with her. Can you imagine Chris and Riri being on a red carpet event and being hurled with all the nasty comments ? He's been doing everything to clean up his image and not be reminded of a most wanted to be forgotten incident. His desire for the world's acceptance unfortunately out weighed his ability to love and receive love. You see, man values 'Respect' over 'Love'. And, Riri only attacked Kae and Chris relationship because despite her great success professionally, it did not work out that way in the love department for her, and revisiting the love of the past was the *** cut which also comes at a price. Basically both Riri and Chris were suffered assault differently, while losing love all at the same time. Chris loved and still loves Karrueche and let her go to protect her as his attempts to regain acceptance crossed the lines of understanding and boundaries, in addition, him not knowing how to get acceptance on his own and close the door on Riri without hate or scrutiny. Chris going back to Riri will only cause him resentment and added pain cross the board. Kae connecting with Chris once he has establish peace within himself cross the board would be a better time for consideration. Chris most come to terms with himself before he can engage with a future partner to avoid repeated heartache and pain.
@ Delmonforlife
I so so agree with your entire post and you sound like a counselor or psychiatrist!
I hope all works well but I don't like what happen to Kae and I do believe Chris loves her and I hope he doesn't regret his decision to cut her loose because he will resent Rihanna but I'm hearing Rihanna want to marry Chris.
If *** wants something to "boss" around she should get a dog. No real man is going to put up with that unless he truly is whupped. Chris Clown does not appear to fall into that category with all of the thousands of weak azz females that stay flinging their drawers at him.

What was cool when you are 18, 19 yrs old is not a few years later once you grow up. Rihanna needs to get over Breezy, meet another man. Breezy needs to get on his hands, knees to take back Karreuche or meet another chick. Sometimes you are not together for a reason. Leave it be. Not saying it in a bad way against either.

Making It Up As We Go Along
I have to admit, if you looked at most of my behavior, you might not expect me to dedicate an issue of this newsletter to improvisation. I really am a planner — my work as a managing editor and multimedia producer demands that I think ahead and get my ducks in a row before creating. But I've always had an affinity for jazz music, impromptu coffee shop visits and spontaneous outbreaks of silliness. Perhaps my moments of plunging in on the spur of the moment are a necessary balance to the careful orchestration of the rest of my life?
I saw a reference to Sally Schneider's
The Improvisational Cook
, which teaches how to get beyond slavishly following recipes and produce awesome culinary delights with the ingredients at hand, and I knew I had to speak with this lady. Since the publication of her book, she has expanded her study of improvisation to life in general, and entertains notions of how to live more creatively in the moment over at
The Improvised Life
Although much of the creative life does depend on planning and forethought, Sally does an amazing job of illuminating the usefulness, and, indeed, the necessity of learning how to making things up as we go along.
In addition to her interview, we also highlight the usual assortment of cool links.
Enjoy! If you have suggestions, reactions, etc., to this issue of the newsletter, please e-mail me at

Looking for answers in the moment
An interview with Sally Schneider of The Improvised Life
ally Schneider is the creator of The Improvised Life, a lifestyle blog about resourcefulness as a daily practice. She is a regular contributor to
The Splendid Table
and a featured blogger on
The Atlantic Monthly's Food Blog
. The author of the best–selling cookbooks
The Improvisational Cook
A New Way to Cook
, Sally has won numerous awards, including four James Beard awards, for her books and magazine writing.
How did you get the idea to write a book about improvisation as it's applied to cooking?
I had been a food writer for many years, having been a professional chef and a food stylist; I wrote for magazines and newspapers, as well as cookbooks. Writing a "straight" recipe seemed boring to me. I was more interested in teaching people the internal logic of the recipe, as well as the possibilities for making the recipe their own, saying by using different flavor combinations. I developed ways of helping readers think creatively about food, by outlining possibilities, and by developing an "open" recipe model that identified the essential structure, with variables that could be changed. When I taught this approach in seminars and online cooking classes. I discovered a great many people who wanted to improvise and cook more fluidly, yet were terrified by it. They needed a way "in". I saw a clear need for a book on improvisational home cooking.
Why did you choose to expand your area of focus on improvisation in your blog?
My friend and agent Lydia Wills sparked the idea. She looked around my apartment and said "Sally, your whole life is improvised." I'd managed to make a one-bedroom rental do a lot with very little money: it's served as office, living/entertaining space, test kitchen and rental photo studio; photographs of it had appeared in numerous magazines.
It was kind of eureka moment when I realized the obvious: that I loved challenging myself to figure out how to do what I needed to with the resources I had, in a relatively stylish way. Just as I had learned to cook, to be a chef, a food stylist and a writer, all without formal training, I believed it possible to learn what was necessary, if you just have the courage to try, make mistakes, figure it out.
The central idea of The Improvisational Cook - of asking WHY NOT when you have an idea, and trying the idea out, despite any fears you might have - applies to the broader arena of everyday living. So I thought why not develop a web site devoted to that very idea: of improvising as a daily practice?
How would you describe improvisation's relationship to creativity (of any kind)?
One drives the other in an endless cycle. Once you orient yourself to the idea of living more improvisationally, you begin see things differently; you become more creative, looking for answers in the moment, in whatever is at hand (internally and externally).
The creative process is largely an improvisational one; it starts with a question or a problem posed, and follows a zig-zag path, one idea leading to another. Often you find yourself heading in unexpected directions, sometimes up blind alleys and into what might seem like mistakes. ("Mistakes" are great teachers, giving direct information of what works and what doesn't.) And suddenly you find that you've created something, or written something, or done something you never thought you could do.
What are some of the benefits to adopting an improvisational frame of mind?
It shifts your worldview to an exciting and hopeful one, where anything is possible, where the answer lies within the moment - it just has to be found. Readers email me daily to say that reading the blog has changed the way they see things, and empowered them to try their ideas out. They find themselves opening their minds to solutions in ways they never had before. It is a really fun and illuminating way of living.
What advice would you have for someone who'd like to become more improvisational in their life, but is afraid to try?
Fear, of course, can put the kibosh on anything if you let it. People tell me they are afraid they will fail, make mistakes, look like a fool, not be perfect, break the taboo of who they are "supposed" to be …
I view improvising as a practice: when you have an idea you'd like to try, even if you think you'll be terrible at it, or that it will be a failure, ask yourself why not? and try it. If possible, suspend the inhibiting idea of doing things perfectly. If you are afraid of people judging you, work in private at first, but do it, take the step to see what happens if you try out your idea. Just doing that much is liberating. With practice, it gets easier and easier, and then there's no way you cannot continue, because it is thrilling and incredibly illuminating.
Are there any special books, music, blogs, etc., that you draw improvisational inspiration from?
I often read books and interviews about individual's creative process, especially artists who are natural improvisers. The internet is a trove, not only of inspiration but of information and resources about how to do things. One of the best books I know of about freeing up your creative, improvisational self is
Free Play: Improvisation in Life and Art
by Stephen Nachmanovitch.
But really, I find inspiring things everywhere. In New York City where I live, I see evidence of creativity daily on the street, in graffiti, and chalk drawings on sidewalks, in snow sculptures after blizzards, in original fashions and hair-do's, or the rigged shelters of homeless people … Orienting your view toward improvisation makes you see it.
Is there anything else on this topic you'd like to add?
When you have an idea, I recommend asking yourself: "what would happen if ...?" and "why not?", and saying YES instead of NO frequently. Perfection is overrated.

Search for wheels by vehicle:

November 15, 2013
Ordered on Sunday night, on Wednesday they were delivered to TO. I did pay duty, fees. However, wheels are great, quality of paint and surface is proper. Guys at Kal tire put Hakkas R on them, balanced, didn't have any issues with installation. Wheels look understated. No flash. Relief of the wheels is such that they look bigger diameter than they are. I didn't apply stickers and only wish center-caps came in matching gunmetal grey. I hope these rally wheels will prove to be tough and lasting. Thanks for lug-nuts Tire Rack. I am extremely satisfied with speed my order was processed at. And no extra calls required. Would recommend you and the wheels to anybody. Cheers!
The wheels you chose are engineered to use Original Equipment lug hardware and therefore lug hardware is not included with your order.
The following wheel-specific hardware will be included with your order at no additional charge.
Replacement center cap to match cap originally sent with wheel. Center caps are sold individually.

Obama to Meet Karzai with Troop Agreement After 2014 in Balance (Kabul)
The insurgents are resorting to such attacks even as the Afghan army and police are trying to secure large populated areas, Panetta said.
"They are trying to stimulate chaos in the country, but they will not be successful," he said.
The attack, for which the Taliban claimed responsibility, came a few hours after Army Major Gen. Robert Abrams, commander of the ISAF's Regional Command-South based in Kandahar, told reporters that the "security conditions are getting better every single day and will continue to get better."
The assessment contrasted with a Pentagon report on Dec. 10 that said insurgent safe havens in northwest Pakistan prevent Afghanistan and its U.S.-led allies from achieving a "decisive defeat" of the enemy.
"The Taliban-led insurgency and its al-Qaida affiliates still operate from sanctuaries in Pakistan," according to the report's executive summary. "The insurgency's safe havens in Pakistan, the limited institutional capacity of the Afghan government and endemic corruption remain the greatest risks to long-term stability and sustainable security in Afghanistan."
The area overseen by a regional command shares a 550- kilometer (342-mile) border with Pakistan so the entire border couldn't be covered even if every Afghan soldier in the region were placed "shoulder-to-shoulder" along the border, Abrams said.
He said the Taliban's capabilities were "pretty limited" and "they have failed at every one of their objectives." The insurgent group, whose home base is Kandahar, has tried and failed to regain territory, Abrams said.
Asked if such success might lead to an accelerated drawdown of U.S. forces in 2013, Abrams said, "the terrain to the west and south is the most important and decisive terrain for Kandahar. And the enemy, even though he's pushed out, is coming back and is going to continue what I call the drumbeat to maintain his relevance and get back into the communities."
While the Pentagon report said that only one of 23 Afghan brigades was ranked as capable of operating independently with advisers, Afghan forces are now taking the lead in most operations, U.S. Marine Corps Major General Lawrence Nicholson, told reporters yesterday in Kabul.
The International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan "is not doing ops," Nicholson, said referring to military operations. The Afghan National Security Forces are carrying out operations and "we're supporting," he said.

Forums >Running 101>Running at Work
Go Pre!
I havent tried, but some people have commented that baby-wipes are great. (This seems really common with folks who bike to work....)
Running the 2012 Boston Marathon for Children's Hospital
A Dance with Monkeys
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
There are three things I use: 1. What I imagine to be a European attitude about body odor 2. On hot days, two water bottles: one for drinking, one for hosing off after running 3. For insanely hot days, tiny bits of antibacterial hand soap in the armpits and between the pecs, followed by teensy bit of Stetson
Personally I wouldn't ever go for a run then sit next to people in the office having not had a shower. But thats probably just my European attitude to body odour coming out there!

International Program on the Elimination of Child Labor (ILO/IPEC)
FY 1995 to 2006 appropriations for the Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) have included approximately $330 million for the International Labor Organization's International Program on the Elimination of Child Labor (ILO/IPEC) for technical cooperation projects in the area of international child labor: $2.1 million in 1995 These funds are used to support a wide range of child labor projects and activities in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Middle East. USDOL support to ILO/IPEC has focused on the following five areas:
1. Sector-Specific Projects The objective of these initiatives is to remove children from work in hazardous or exploitative sectors as well as support credible monitoring and tracking systems to ensure children do not return to the workplace. IPEC is providing assistance to thousands of working children and their families, including educational opportunities, vocational training, and income-generating opportunities for the families. Projects involve innovative partnerships, and often cost-sharing, among governments, labor and industry groups, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) 2. Country Programs Under this initiative, a number of countries that have demonstrated a political commitment to addressing their child labor problem are provided technical assistance by IPEC. With U.S. funding, IPEC is enhancing the ability of these countries to develop, carry out, and enforce national policies, and plans of action to combat child labor. National steering committees with the participation of government, labor and industry groups as well as NGOs are established to develop and oversee the implementation of the national plans of action. Initially, a selected number of working children are targeted and provided with educational opportunities. 3. SIMPOC and Research An essential step towards developing effective strategies to eliminate and prevent child labor is accurately documenting the extent and nature of the problem. Reliable child labor data is needed for governments and international organizations to develop programs and monitor progress. Towards this effort, the Department of Labor is funding national child labor surveys through the ILO's Statistical Information and Monitoring Program on Child Labor (SIMPOC). 4. Timebound Programs Beginning in 2001, ILO/IPEC began implementing comprehensive national timebound programs, with the first of these programs launched in El Salvador, Nepal and Tanzania. These programs consist of a set of integrated initiatives that are intended to show visible results in the elimination of the worst forms of child labor in countries in a specified period of time. In the implementation of these programs, DOL and ILO/IPEC seek new partnerships with other international organizations and financial institutions to join in efforts to combat child labor and bring together additional resources on basic education, school feeding programs, and school-based child health and nutrition programs. Since 2001, new Timebound Programs have been initiated in the Dominican Republic (2002), the Philippines (2002), Senegal (2003), Indonesia (2003), Pakistan (2003), Brazil (2003), South Africa (2003), Ecuador (2003), and Turkey (2003). 5. Worldwide Awareness Raising Public awareness and education campaigns on the local, national and international levels are essential to combating child labor. IPEC is producing printed and audio-visual materials and organizing events to broaden public understanding of the problem and encourage governments to adopt innovative approaches for eliminating child labor. Activities under this initiative are global in scope. For a complete list of ILO/IPEC projects funded by USDOL from FY 1995 to FY 2002, click here.

i won a lava lamp on ebay. i arranged for its collection through interparcel by citylink from the sellers house who had packed it very well and written in big letters on the box "fragile glass lava lamp". a week later i get to know that citylink has broken it and its in their depot. i have written to interparcel to tell them that either them or citylink owe me the insurance money of atleast £ 30. but they said its a resticted item and is not covered by insurance. then i said i should atleast get my £ 10 back for the price of the couriers since they havent done the job that i asked them to do at all. they said all they can do is give their sincere apologies. i give them a big huge ZERO in everything !! except for their quick responses in their emails.

This is a great company, I feel very well treated, their glasses are excellent and they deliver, even prescription glasses very quickly. I have been very impressed with them over the years and would recommend them to my friends and family.
I was very impressed when the package arrived and I found that they had gift wrapped the perfume as a present, it was intuative.
In my opinion they go the extra mile with extra quality of service seldom found now a days.
I am very grateful.
I am very pleased, you had what I wanted at the price I was happy to pay and you delivered it in 3 days.
It was a fridge freezer, my old one had broken down and life was aweful without it.
Your company came up trumps, I will use you again if possible.

"Doesn't Work with PS3 Slim!"
0.5 starson by USAFVet1Pros: Reportedly works well with older PS3 models that have not been upgraded to 3.0 firmware.
Cons: No upgrade for PS3 3.0 firmware in sight. Will most likely require a recall of the current adapter and a new model will need to come out.
Summary: With the release of the PS3 Slim, the Logitech Harmony adapter is rendered useless. If you check the forums on Logitech's support site and read the numerous complaints, there is currently no solution to the problem with the PS3 3.0 firmware update. The codes that allowed connectivity with the adapter were rewritten by Sony for the new firmware, and there is no upgrade for the adapter from Logitech to compensate for the problem. Bottom line, if you own a PS3 Slim, do not purchase the adapter. Since the Slim is now the only PS3 being manufactured, Logitech will most likely need to recall the current adapter and produce a new model compatible with the Slim.

Buyer Beware also any individuals seeking employment RUN! THIS is the worst company I have ever encountered in my life. The owner Thad Gravo is a complete JERK that cares nothing about his employees or bridges he burns. The stoner that is labeled a Vice President, Jason Holland is a complete JOKE. Comes to work high on pot, that is if he ever shows up nobody has a clue what this guy does for responsibilities. This is a complete snake oil sales environment. They train their sales team (door knockers) to represent themselves as GE security, there is NO such thing! They say they are GE for the name recognition and so that people wont really google 1st defense or check BBB and discover all the dirt about the company. These sales guys then tell home owners they are looking for advertising homes which is a complete lie, any homeowner will qualify for "free equipment" with a 3 year contract for monitoring with their monitoring company Monitronics. READ fine print in the contract, they use 3rd party rent a cops if your alarm goes off that then charge you everytime they show up!! Every customer I've met that signed up with these jokesters are so upset and cant get out of their contracts without being put into collections. This company uses GE Simon wireless equipment which is the cheapeat biggest P.O.S. alarm system you can buy. You can buy the system out right online for less than a hundred bucks!! And on top of that they will install wireless equipment to your prewired home?????? HORRIBLE!! Oh and the 2 way going directly to the cops they preach?? COMPLETE LIE ask the police dept! The company has ripped off many X employees for their last paychecks and by breeching contracts. They have them on a 1099 program so they really dont pay taxes on them and when they screw the employees its easier to get away with it. They also 1099 management staff that have schedules and offices which is completely ILLEGAL. IRS is going to love to find out about that!!!
Do not waste your time applying for a job!
Do not waste your time doing any business with these dead beats!!

AUTHOR: AlarmTech - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Monday, December 28, 2009
1. Do the Two-Way alarms systems installed by 1st Defense send signals DIRECTLY from their alarm systems to the Las Vegas Police? Or do all alarm signals go to somewhere else?
2. Has 1st Defense ever installed a wireless system in a pre-wired home? Connecting the wireless components to the hard wires?
(Doing this can destroy the valuable prewiring in a home. It also does not meet the technical guidelines set forth by the manufacturer.)
3. Does 1st defense get full line seizure on all alarm systems installed - as laid out in the installation manual?
4. Has it ever been written 1st Defense's Sales Training Manual to use the the "Sign Approach"?
Have the following excerpts regarding the "Sign Approach" ever been written in your companies Sales Training Manual?
"Hi are you the home owner? (Yes) Great, I'm here with .......... we don't have as many signs in this area, so my manager wants me to get some exposure up. ..........part of the advertising budget is reserved for equipment in neighborhoods where they want more exposure. If you would be willing to put our sign over there in the flowerbed where it can be easily seen from the street, the company is willing to compensate you giving you your own security system at no charge."
I look forward to your dialog on this.

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a dam joke!!!!!!!!!! This company is horrible and once again full of lies. PLease do what they ask and pull up First Defense on BBB for Las Vegas, their rating is now a "B" and consists of 20 customer complaints. The rating continues to fall month after month. I don't know about you but any company that has 20 complaints on BBB is a warning for me to RUN and do business elsewhere. I continue to meet very irate customers that are stuck with horrible service from these jerks. Any good reports (which is only a few) on the internet about this organization is that of an employee that still actually works for this horrible place. Their equipment they use is inferior to the industry, their installs are messy, and customer service that of the worst I've ever seen!! Once again you've been warned. I find it entertaining that they try to even save their companys "face" by replying on here. Just google their company and read reviews and pleae by their suggestion, check BBB there are 20 complaints and rising!
YOU"VE BEEN WARNED AGAIN!!! Choose a reputable company with squeaky clean background!!!
The rather rude comments here appear to be those of an upset individual with a personal conflict of some kind. None of these are based in fact and all of them seem to be a personal attack against our company.
I apologize that this person has taken advantage of a legitimate consumer forum in order to air their own dirty laundry, and I invite any curious consumers to review the BBB, actual customer reviews on servicemagic.com, or to contact us directly 702-547-0213.

CNET Editors' review
PhotoFinder saves users a great deal of time searching all over their computer for photographs. This incredibly simple program's results are quick and hard to beat, though users will have to experiment a little to get the hang of it.
This program offers such a simple interface that some users will need to retreat to the Help file immediately. The program's blank screen and short list of commands will present users with their photographic folders only after some blind clicking around. Luckily, though, once it is understood, mastery comes quickly. Users begin by visiting the File menu and choosing to scan either the C drive or the D drive. Confusingly, this does not present photos on the screen. Next, users must go to View and choose Folder. Here, a list of all folders containing photographs is listed. Users need only click on any folder to view thumbnail shots of the entire folder. Clicking on a picture will bring up a separate window, displaying a larger shot as well. Two features add to the overall quality of this program, including its ability to print off a proof sheet, which is a sheet of thumbnails that professionals use. Another feature is the program's ability to adjust the thumbnails' size with the push of a button.
The program's trial places a watermark on printed materials. While the program's interface is an initial hurdle, users will love its ability to quickly showcase photos.
Publisher's Description
From Duckware:
PhotoFinder creates high-quality thumbnail images for all the photos on a hard drive. View these thumbnails at 50%, 100% or 200% to quickly review and locate photos in a folder you select, which can be the entire hard drive. Use the printing feature to create high quality printed proof sheets. Easily supports tens of thousands of photos.

"Indeed a pity no complete info"
Version: PhotoFinder 2.6a
love seeing them all together, so many that my computer crashed, lol
Not enough info so that I could not place them or remove, which would be the ice on the cake and very handy!
I would love to see the thumbnails with the info as to where they are stored. Somehow with the numbering so that one can select and store the info into an folder. From there we would be able to store, edit or remove them. In my opinion, the program would be an very desirable addition when fitted out in that way.
"Has it's moments"
Version: PhotoFinder 2.6a
Eventually you get to see all of your graphic images (I have thousands) and to see the duplicates although it takes a bit of practice to figure out how to work it.
Having got all your images in one place, it's like viewing a catalogue. You can't do anything with them. You can't even find out which drive or subfolder the image is in - (needed especially if you are trying to remove duplicates.
Could be real slick if the developers can solve the location problem - thy can name the file, why not name the drive, folder etc as well?
"good for finding images but cannot interact with them."
Version: PhotoFinder 2.6a
Once updated it's easy to see all your pictures in one place with good size thumbs
You cannot interact with the pictures. It would be good to see the location of the folder and be able to select one or more.
good to see all your pics in one folder, but once you do find them there is nothing you can do with them

When Tire Changing Stunts Fail Miserably
Posted by TitsMcgee06 on Feb. 22, 2013
Posted by TitsMcgee06 on Feb. 22, 2013
Lol. I dont see how that would have worked right to begin with. Friggen dummies
WTF how did they manage to make all the lugnuts fall in the same place ... when I change my tire I always end up spending 2h just to recover them for all over the neighborhood.
Lets nuke their country and set up strip mall. It would be better than the shit hole they live in.
Your doing it wrong... The trick is to loosen up the tire before you attempt that dumbass stunt.
At 0:51 there is a wonderful iconic allegory of "lugnuts scattered and rolling across life's road". Compliments the other image of the little metal thingies that hold on the wheel.
They saw the virgins lined up at the Allah gates and decided to die and finally get laid.

Though English has no word for the visual counterpart to literacy, Heffernan argues that the capacity to interpret pictures must be cultivated and deserves a name: picturacy. Using examples such as the pre-historic cave paintings of Lascaux, film versions of Frankenstein, the provocative photographs of Sally Mann, and the abstract canvases of Gerhard Richter, the volume illustrates how learning to decode the language of pictures resembles the process of learning to read. While words typically frame and regulate our experience of art, the study also explains how pictures can contest the authority of the words we use to interpret art.

Trademarks are applied on goods to distinguish them from goods of the competitors. To protect trademarks, proprietors register their trademark and use the mark with the symbol ®. A difficulty arises in this case because trademark registration is territorial in nature i.e. it must be registered in each country separately. When good are meant for export, the trademark owner, generally supplies the goods with the trademark as it appears in the home country and when the mark is registered this includes the symbol ®. Issues can arise when such products are exported to countries where the trademark is not registered.
In a recent case, the German Federal Supreme Court held that the use of ® symbol could be misleading, if the mark is not registered in Germany. This particular judgment can be applied uniformly to all countries in Europe. If, for example, an Indian exporter has products, which are branded with the trademark that is registered in India and bears the ®symbol, unless the mark is registered in the specific country in which it is exported or as a community trademark in Europe, it may be held that the use of the ®.symbol may be considered misleading and a competitor may obtain injunctive relief against such use.
Exporters exporting goods outside India must, therefore, be cautious on two counts:
- Ensure that the trademark, applied on the goods meant for the country to which it is exported, is registered in that country and
- Ensure that unless this is done they should not use the ®on either the goods themselves or in advertising of the goods in the country of export.
In any event exporters must take note that before exporting their products to a particular country, the trademark used by them must be at least applied for registration in that country. Then, it is advisable to use the more innocuous symbol TM.
It is, in fact, wiser to make this application before the initial talks of export or appointing of importers occurs.

The Origin of Goods: Rules of Origin in Regional Trade Agreements
Editor Info
The dark side of preferential trade agreements, Rules of Origin (RoO) are used to determine the eligibility of goods to preferential treatment. Ostensibly meant to prevent the trans-shipment of imported products across Free Trade Agreement borders after superficial screwdriver assembly, they act in reality as complex and opaque trade barriers. This book provides evidence strongly suggesting that they do so by intent rather than accidentally---in other words, that RoOs are policy. Part one draws insights about the effects of RoOs on cross-border trade and outsourcing from recent economic theory. Part two reviews the evidence on RoOs in preferential agreements around the world, putting together the most comprehensive dataset on RoOs to date. Part three explores their "political economy"---how special interests have shaped them and continue to do so. Part four provides econometric evidence on their costs for exporters and consequent effects on trade flows. Finally, part five explores how they affect trade in the developing world where they spread rapidly and have the potential to do most harm. Beyond the collection of new evidence and its interpretation in light of recent theory, the book's overall message for the policy community is that RoOs are a potentially powerful and new barrier to trade. Rather than being relegated to closed-door technical meetings, their design should hold center-stage in trade negotiations.

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by flowergirl810 dusty cold room
Service started before my visit.
I had a question about my check in so I emailed the contact us address Saturday morning. I was checking in that evening. My emailed was answered Monday, two days after my check out.
I checked in and found my room. The hallways on my floor were majorly scratched along both sides and the door cross the hall from mine had looked like it was broken into. The room was dusty and actually had small dust balls on the tray that held the ice bucket. I then had to wander the hall to find the " ce and vending" area, no not a typo. I go back and try to find an outlet to plug my cell phone charger into. On my hands and knees and having to move the mattress, I find the outlet... along with a price tag and others assorted debris from previous guests. I get ready and go to my event happening at the hotel. The staff handling that was very helpful and professional. Upon returning to my room and getting ready for bed I notice it's chilly. I find the thermostat and turn the heat up. After tow hours tossing and turning I get up and check the room temp. Its 57 degrees! I again turn the temp up to 70. Finally at 4AM I had enough. I got dressed, packed my bag, and checked our. I was asked how my stay was... I mentioned the cold and the dust. I got an I'm sorry I'll let the housekeeping supervisor know. Have a nice day. Sorry it's 4AM!!! This is a pproblem! I expected more from this place. Basic building maintenance and upkeep. This is not a motel 6. I had planned on thisas a mini getaway. I wanted to sleep in and go to brunch in the morning. Kilowatt is supposed to have great food. I live in town and only stayed at the hotel because of the function I attended. Next year I'll save my money and go home after.

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by kasinja64 Last minute stay
We were very excited to get a nice price for a last minute stay a your hotel. When we got there it was like a ghost town, no one around but our front desk person was there and was quite ice. Went up to our to find a very small cramped room with 2 full beds, these are not queen. Both my husband and I had to take a bed a piece because they were so small and ewxtremely short lengthwise. We are both over 6 feet tall and these beds were quite uncomfortable. Then we also were in an adjoining room which had a screaming crying child for a good 3 hours which wasn't helpful in being comfortable either. I know this is not the hotels fault but it added a bad feeling to our stay. The next morning we realized we had no creamer or anything for coffee and I called room service to get a very snotty room service person. I told them we just needed a few creamers and she literally said" well i'll see what I can do" and hung up. needless to say we probably won't be looking to stay here again.

We stayed in the Pink room for 2 nights and my only complaint is this: The down mattress pads are painful!! I think they thought they were doing something luxurious by providing down comforters and mattress pads, but if you ever slept on a down mattress pad you will discover it is like sleeping on a bed of nails. All the feather stems poke through the material. Everything else about the hotel was wonderful.

We were in Milwaukee for our girlfriend's 30th bday. We chose this hotel based on its excellent location and the price for both a double room and parking. The city view from our room was beautiful. The decor of the hotel was nice and modern. Our bathtub had some peeling in it, but otherwise the room was clean. Our ac did not work well, but we did not try running it until we were going to sleep so we did not complain at that point. The beds were extremely comfortable! We did have some drinks in the after hour lounge which had a nice atmosphere. Our bartender wasn't the most knowledgeable, but he was extremely pleasant and friendly. The only thing that we did not like about the hotel was the fact that the walls were very thin so we could hear our neighbors conversing and their tv at night. The few cons during our stay were offset by the pros of this hotel, mostly the location, view, and affordability, so overall we would stay again. We had an awesome time celebrating!

A friend suggested we stay at the Intercontinental.
He was right...they did not miss a beat.
The valet parking attendant met us as we pulled up.
The front desk personnel had all our paperwork waiting for us.
The room had a fantastic view and the bed was so comfortable we slept in an extra hour.
The concierge was so gracious and helpful.
The dinner at Kilowats was more than expected and the waiter was so knowledgeable. We also had breakfast at Kilowats the next morning and we were not disapointed
The location was perfect for a short stroll to the 3rd ward or a nice river walk to the north.
Will we be back...we are booking our reservations this weekend!
