It's here! Or almost here. It's the new Research in Motion BlackBerry 9000 Bold, and what a bold step this is.

Everyone is blaming ethanol for everything. Producers have gone from being heroes to zeroes.

Google's top executives expressed hope that the Internet search leader will be able to form a potentially lucrative advertising partnership with Yahoo -- a deal that would lower the odds of Microsoft renewing its attempts to buy Yahoo.

TEAMS: Boston Red Sox, Arizona Diamondbacks, Toronto Blue Jays
Still experiencing symptoms 10 days after suffering a concussion, Stephen Drew is expected to seek an expert's opinion this week. Drew, who has not played since being hit in the head with a pitch on March 7, will travel to Pittsburgh to be examined by Dr. Michael Collins if his condition does not improve significantly by Tuesday, MLB.com's Evan Drellich reports. Collins has previously worked with major leaguers Brandon McCarthy and Brian Roberts, who suffered season-ending concussions in 2011 and 2012, respectively. "Reports this morning [were that he had] similar symptoms, and if nothing is improved or if there's no improvement by the end of day tomorrow, we're going to have him go see Dr. Collins in Pittsburgh," Red Sox manager John Farrell said Monday. The shortstop's concussion symptoms have reportedly lessened since the time of his injury but have yet to complete subside. "He feels it even when he's not in that exertion mode," Farrell said. "He still feels some of the symptoms fro

Album information[edit]
The second track on the album, "Summertime", earned the duo a second Grammy Award for Best Single in early 1992. Will Smith admitted that he tried to make his voice sound deeper than usual for this album, as many fans enjoyed the track "Then She Bit Me" from the duo's previous album, And in This Corner..., which was sung in this style. "You Saw My Blinker" is one of only two instances in which Smith uses obscenities in his music. However, the song reached #20 Billboard Hot 100 and #22 Hot R&B/Hip Hop singles. Four singles were released from the album: "Summertime", "The Things That U Do", "Ring My Bell" and "You Saw My Blinker".

Thanks to council member and webmaster Eugene Sweeney
Spring City Borough boasts an
impressive website, complete with current announcements, links to the
Twitter and
YouTube pages, and an
Google Calendar, complete with all borough meetings.
To search "Spring City Borough PA" online, though, it would take some time for a resident to find the information.
"The 'web-surfing public' can be confused when searching for the site. Not only does springcitypa.gov show up but so do springcityboro.org and springcitypa.net," said Sweeney.
" Springcitypa.netwas created by a former resident and is no longer updated," Sweeney said.
Springcitypa.net appears to have been last updated in 2009, and is listed as a "Spring City Community Website," and includes articles such as an Animal Defecation Ordinance and a Spring City Library Challenge.
An old-fashioned looking site, the top of the page features a "then and now" photos as the user's mouse hovers over the photo.
Springcityboro.org was once the official Spring City website and is now run by councilman James Burns. The site is more updated than springcitypa.net, but the most recent news update is from Sept. 29 and there is an empty events calendar.
The site does include some archived information from the borough, including a large list of ordinances zoning and land development information, uploaded as PDFs.
The now-official website launched in the summer of 2012 after Sweeney worked on the design for several months, at no charge to the borough.
"The only fee the borough has to pay is to the federal government for the .gov domain," Sweeney said.
The website is also used as a class project for Sweeney's class at Kutztown Middle School.
"Students are given the real world experience of maintaining and editing a 'live' website," Sweeney said.

Check out a recording of the song X Factor finalists, Lyric 145 were SUPPOSED to sing the week they were eliminated. The tune is a reworking of R.E.S.P.E.C.T by Aretha Franklin.
Anything would have been better than that Katy Perry/Queen mess the group was forced to sing, but to be honest, I don't think X Factor audiences would have been ready for this jelly either.
Check it out below:

This would have ruled but I agree I just don't think people who watch reality singing competitions are ready for this.
http://twitter.com/MissGolightly22 No Thanks
They could have at least left the show showing the world what they are capable of.
http://twitter.com/OzzyBonjour ??EvHeaD??ozzy??
I usually HATE this kind of rap stuff but Lyric 145 is actually quite decent IMO and this is good IMO.
I just don't think people who watch reality singing competitions are ready for this.
Oh, you are probably right, and the voting rankings certainly bear that out – so then – one wonders, don't the Producers know this too, and why did they even cast them?
Umm yeah much better than what they threw together at the last second, obviously. This is how I imagined Lyric 145 would sound after watching Party in the USA and watching some of their youtube vids. More serious w/ some good original rapping in there. The only issue I had was w/ the high pitch sped up voice singing the R E S P E C T bit. That sounded weird and annoying. But otherwise good and I feel like the more you listen to it the more you'll like it.
I wonder why they couldn't sing it was it too much original material and simply to far Aretha's song. If there were no legal reasons they couldn't do it then they should of even if the audience didn't dig the more urban serious lyric 145 it didn't matter b/c they would of gone either way. The only difference is they could of gotten more credibitlity as rappers w/ the RESPECT song and it's a a more accurate look at their abilities w/ all that original material. You know how Simon said they were easy going and no complaints when they were told to change their song well they should of complained.
And to be honest I think this could of saved them it was inventive and original much better than them running around screaming E. T. at us. They said that performance was slapped together and it looked it. I still shudder thinking about that catastrophe.
And another thing anyone else think how Ironic this song is now considering they didn't get any respect and got instant eliminated, makes me wince.
Oh one more thing. I'm still mad at Simon mishandling them it was like he was clueless he acted like he knew what he was doing but he was living in the land of denial. Multiple judges kept saying it was the wrong direction and he just ignored them. They were one of my favorites going into the show and they'd caught the interest of many. And what did we get out of them only one performance I liked Supercalifragilistichbialadious and that I had to warm up to before I loved it. I'm so so so mad at stupid stubborn Simon. I hope Lyric 145 can stick together and get something going for theirselves. I loved the concept/ feel of Lyric 145 and they have so much potential.

Because the producers would like to offer the viewers more than the same old blandness?
Should Idol cast only WGWG from now on because only WGWG win?
They cast them for the same reason they hired Nicki Minaj as a judge for Idol, to try and change the demographic that still watches these shows. (All these shows, btw, look who's on top on XFactor).
The problem is that demographic doesn't watch a lot of network TV, probably won't watch, vote, buy, or care.
Because the producers would like to offer the viewers more than the same old blandness?Should Idol cast only WGWG from now on because only WGWG win?
Ahh, Mateja Praznick, you know better than that. On both counts.
The Producers have access to metrics, they know their audience when they are doing the casting, no matter what they pretend – unless you believe they are truly that incompetent? They could care less about 'blandness' IMO. They can spice up anything with fake drama, and they know it. They had a rapper before who didn't win – now they have had another – but this one they hamstrung with a truly messed up last minute song choice…for no discernable reason.
And you know very well I didn't suggest anything to do with male guitar players - where did that comparison come from? Not from me….the show doesn't even 'have' a guitar playing anybody…I don't see the relevance with casting a Rap Group that the Producers proceed to clothesline at the last minute…and that's what they did.
I 'think' I get your argument – casting fodder is OKFine – Everyone they cast isn't supposed to be able to win – and if the Producers want, they can always make sure of that…which is OKFine too?
If I have your position wrong, you can let me know – I certainly don't want to put words in your mouth. *wink*
This is much much much better than what they had to throw together at the last minute. The only part I didn't like was the high-pitched T-E-S-P-E-C-T; that was just too high of a key and sounded weird. But the rest was very cool.
The producers should have let them do this. I can't believe they couldn't get the original song cleared — how many times has it been covered before — including on Idol! So something else was going on there, I think.
Lyric145 was my pick to win the whole thing — IMO they were the only contestants who combine real originality with a lot of talent. But oh well. Hopefully someone will sign them and give them a chance.
They apparently did get the song cleared in time but Simon bullied, oops I mean "convinced" them to do what he wanted. Simon is an idiot, if you don't know what to do with your country and hip hop acts them leave them the f*ck alone to do whatever they want!
http://twitter.com/HighTensions Jake Williams
uh! so much potential. I already miss them. Simon is stupid. I hope both of his other acts fail. Especially his pecious Douchebag3
"They should have complained"- It's not that they complained but they said they did fight really hard to do their song at the last minute. In an interview Lyric said they even went in and basically said, "No, we're not doing this" but it was a case of them continuing to fight it and not knowing the words to the other song, or using the time to learn the new words. I can't believe they were able to learn the new song that quickly- it didn't even show for me.
You gotta love Da Queen but Simon made a mistake by eliminating the country act Sister C and keeping this rap group. Unlike Lyric 145, I believe Sister C would still be on the show giving Tate Stevens a run for his money. Who do I believe Sister C would have replaced in the TOP 8 you ask? Let's put it this way, Demi would only have one act left at this point.
HAS BET never had a hip/hop – rap singing competition show to find the next Nicki Minaj type. If they have, had no idea who won. IF they havent, what the hell are they waiting. Their audience would be more inclined to like 'urban' music….Its not my type but theres an audience for that but when its not pop oriented, its hard to appeal to that mainstream broadcast audience.

HAS BET never had a hip/hop – rap singing competition show to find the next Nicki Minaj type.
BET's flagship singing competition is Sunday Best, which is Gospel-focused. Don't knock it: the season 3 winner, Le'Andria Johnson, not only was allowed to cowrite her coronation song, but also won a Grammy in 2012 for Best Gospel/CCM Music Performance. (Sales are small, but that's normal for her genre. Her first EP peaked at #24 on the BB 200.)
MTV ran P. Diddy's Starmaker for one season in 2009, and the Diddy connection suggests there was some vague hope of crowning a winner who was hip-hop-ish. The actual winner was a country singer. This did not go well.
Queen Latifah was supposed to be producing The Star Next Door (later retitled The Next), in which a couple celebs roamed the country auditioning singers, but the featured stars were multi-genre, and I'm not sure the show actually happened. (It was originally intended for CW this fall.)
Snoop Dogg pitched a hip hop singing competition in 2011 — he was rumored to be trying it on MTV and E! — but again, I don't think it actually happened. NBC turned it down. (Snoop Dogg also did some dissing of The Voice.)

This is way better. I wonder why the producers changed their song at the last minute. Supposedly it wasn't Simon making the decision.

This was so cool! I so sad they didn't get a chance to perform this. :(
this is really cool. Just the high pitch parts that needs a bit rework
I get to listen to A LOT of rap/hip hop because that's what kids listen to. That is all my inner city kids listen to. Many of those artists use that high pitched sequence (whatever they call it) and I'm sure middle America does not know this. Instead of poetry, kids write flows and produce beats and put them together. The faster you can spit the better you are. Maybe XFactor could have spent a few minutes starting with Astro introducing America to a culture that exists deep within our society. Instead, they throw these contestants to the wolves and let them get eaten alive. This trio is amazing and I bet LA Reid knows this. I'm sure some of the rappers with their stables (other artists they sign) have also sat up and taken notice. Simon was smart enough to put them together and then thought he could turn them into 1 freaking Direction, the rap group. As 60 y/o white woman from the burbs who loves alternative rock, I get it (and enjoy it) so I dare venture, and state, a little education goes a long way. These shows need to start educating America to all genres of music. Oh, and I thought there RESPECT was clever and well done. Add in the performance aspect and I bet it kicked ass.

I think this is what really bugs me about XFUS. Like, I know all these shows are manipulated, but on XFUS they influence it to the detriment of the show. They saddle the artists with crap songs or bad production which makes it worse to watch. This would have been much much better than the ET/Queen thing, but no, they had to get rid of Lyric145 for whatever reason…
I am not from the USA and i dont mind hip-hop/rap music as long as the songs are not too in your face. I kinda like Lyric 145 but their last performance kinda annoyed me a bit, they came across smug (is that the word?) Anyway i havent listened and not really want to listen to their version of Respect, so i cant say whether it's good or not. Just curious tho, how Queen Aretha would feel if she heard her anthem R.E.S.P.E.C.T. being rapped with original lyrics. Pehaps Simon or the prods were avoiding the wrath of a bigger diva than Mariah and Nicky combined, we never know.
Aretha Franklin's songs are frequently sampled by rappers and hip-hop artists, so I can't imagine her objecting to Lyric 145′s arrangement. More than likely, it was Simon who decided to pull the plug. I really hope that they get a good manager and record label to represent them, because they have so much potential.
Link to article from MLive.com, explaining why they had to change songs:
Here are some excerpts:
"But the night before the show's live air date, the group received a phone call notifying them that legal issues and technical difficulties required the group to make a different choice. Their mentor, Simon Cowell, concocted a mash-up of Katy Perry's "E.T." and Queen's "We Will Rock You."
"The issues preventing the "R.E.S.P.E.C.T." cover were resolved, but Cowell advised the group to stick with the new choice."
Oh wow. This is so much better than their Queen song/rap. Why couldn't they sing this song?
Please no. gah!!!
Karen C
I think this would have been much better, not sure if it would have gotten more votes. I can't see why there would be clearance issues, since it has been used so much. I wonder if the problem was that Simon had used Respect as Melanie Amaro's single, and didn't want someone to use it on the show yet.

But Simon wasn't being 'stubborn.' He knew exactly what he was doing. He was getting rid of Lyric so that they wouldn't be a threat to Emblem 3.
Good luck trying to get Emblem the win, Simon. They are nowhere near as hot, talented or interesting as 1D.

Lyric's verse is SIIIIIIICK as f*ck, fa real! She out spits her bandmates by a few country miles!
Too bad L.A. couldn't mentor them. He would have taken them to at least the top 6.

Whether that was the case or not – and I wouldn't doubt that it was – it illustrates what makes me so uncomfortable with shows like The Voice and X Factor where the judges, as opposed to just the show itself, have a stake (even if it's just bragging rights) with who wins. It's hard enough to get a fair shake on a show like Idol, where the judges don't have their own group of contestants, without worrying about a judge sabotaging you to protect someone on their team, or – even worse – your own mentor/judge sabotaging you to protect someone else on your team. I don't fucking care which multi-millionaire judge "wins", because it makes no difference to anything except their egos. The contestants are the ones with something at stake, and if they can't even trust their own mentor to look out for their best interests…yeah, it sucks.
http://twitter.com/desireechick Kesia Monteith
You know, it's funny, there is an interview Lyric 145 did with Young Hollywood after they were eliminated, talking about how they feel what the revealing of the rankings has done to the atmosphere of the competition. They said that it made the judges care so much about winning, they were starting to strategize exactly how the contestants would perform to get votes. But the group were upfront about how they just simply care to do the best performance that simply represent them, rather that worrying about votes they're mentor wants. They acknowledge that the fighting between the judges of how one should present they're acts was becoming distracting. Basically, they're saying their mentor's need for winning was getting in the way of the creative process for their acts, and not allowing them to be themselves.
They didn't want to blame Simon per se, but they were aware of the show's biggest flaw.
http://twitter.com/TarheelShari Sharon S.
That all rings so true, and it's even worse because the judges (or, perhaps more accurately, the producers/PTB via the judges) seem to have so much control over what the contestants sing, how they sing it, and how they look when they sing it. With the advent of the Interscope/Jimmy Iovine era, it seemed to me that Idol started taking more control away from the contestants, and it didn't strike me as a good development – you might get fewer train wrecks that way, but you also get fewer shining, unexpected "moments," too.
X Factor and The Voice take away even more control from the contestants, and I just don't care for it. I'd rather see someone triumph, or fail, on their own merits (or lack thereof) as much as possible. And the institutionalized tendency for the judges to judge, not on the basis of the performance in front of them, but on the basis of how they can spin their reactions to suit their own self-interests, is problematic. Adding in the possibility that a contestant, who is in a position of relative powerlessness, may have a mentor actively trying to get rid of him or her, and it's a total turnoff to me.

The Yankees signed Lieber knowing full well he would miss the 2003 season because of Tommy John surgery. With Clemens threatening retirement and Pettitte an impending free agent, Lieber was signed as security for the 2004 season. Before his surgery, he was considered a dependable, inning-eater who could stabilize the Bombers' rotation.
With the acquisition of Kevin Brown and Javier Vazquez, Lieber was again overshadowed and slated to be the No. 4 starter. Lieber's hard work and perseverance, however, has catapulted him to the No. 2 starter in the Yankees' playoff rotation and he will make his postseason debut on Wednesday, opposing Minnesota's Brad Radke at Yankee Stadium.
Lieber had a productive season for the Yankees, going 14-8 with a 4.33 ERA and doing what he does best, working fast, pounding the strike zone and inducing ground balls. Lieber doesn't have many tricks, but proved he is a fast healer.
"Well this is what I have been waiting for, for 11 years now," he said before Game 1 of the Division Series. "This is what it's all about. And it could not happen at a better place than New York City and Yankee Stadium. And to actually be here and be part of that, especially after going through Tommy John surgery really is something special."
It's a surgery that's become common amongst pitchers and some as young as their late teens undergo the process. But it is a risk. Some pitchers never regain their velocity or command. For control pitchers such as Lieber, regaining those two are crucial.
Lieber said he began feeling 100 percent in August and the numbers show that he gained momentum as the season progressed. He was 5-0 in September with a 3.12 ERA, by far the Yankees' top starter.
"It's a lonely rehab," Torre said. "And when you get back, I'm sure you have some doubts. But by midseason on, he just felt like he's been all the way back."
During the season, Lieber said he leaned on teammate and Tommy John survivor Tom Gordon, who had the surgery in December 1999 and missed the 2000 season. Gordon has regained his velocity and emerged as one of the league's top setup men.
"I think really the one person that comes to mind that's really helped me is (Tom Gordon)," Lieber said. "And to be able to have him there and seeing the struggles that I was going through this year ... he told me, along with some other people, just wait until the end of August, September and you are going to feel your strongest."
The Yankees desperately need a pinpoint Lieber in the postseason. No. 1 starter Mike Mussina finished strong after a midseason slump but Brown is still recovering from a broken left hand and is a question mark, Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez has an ailing shoulder and might miss the Game 3 start while Javier Vazquez won just four of 14 starts and finished with a 6.95 ERA in the second half.
So once again, Lieber has emerged from the shadows to have an important role on this team.
"This is postseason and this is Yankee Stadium," Torre said. "He seems ready for the challenge. He's going to have plenty of support because I don't think there's a soul on this ballclub that doesn't pull for him."

Buyer Burnout
I accepted their counter offer this morning, so I guess this means I'm on my way. I HATE the process and have wanted to bail out - not because I don't love the house, but just because the process is crazy-making. I told Pebbles this morning that it was like being pregnant - I'll be very happy once I get the house(baby), but until then, I'm pretty damned miserable with the whole acquisition process.
I just had to tell myself that the deal I wanted in my head was more about the negotiation than it was about the house. In the end, I want the house. While I haven't been actively touring homes, I have been watching what's been up for sale for a long, long time. This is the best thing/right priced thing that I've seen.
I'm waiting for the anxiety to dissipate to be replaced with elation. Soon, please.
end of email - to which I now add:
I just need to remember that. I do not have to be perfect. I do not have to make the best deal in the history of ever. Good enough is good enough. I don't have to swing for the fences. A good solid double is nice, too.
I understand that I am very fortunate. And I also understand that right now I am just overwhelmed.
Take good care of yourself. Be kind to others. Be in the now.

Congratulations! Of course there will be plenty that is nerve wracking throughout the process, but like labor, you'll have a real prize at the end!! And you have all of your blog friends to help keep you buoyant throughout.ReplyDelete
FABULOUS! CONGRATULATIONS!ReplyDelete
I remember when you bought your new vehicle ... same kind of "crazy-making" only less moolah involved. Remember?
and ...
Just like with your car, you're doing just fine.
It seems, Roxie, that even in the midst of being overwhelmed you always seem to make the right choices for You and land on your two sexy CFM garden shoes. :D
Now which room will be the blogging room?
You'll get through it. Just relax and don't freak out about the inspection. Get all your papers in order now for the mortgage stuff and just know that the bank will make you go through a ton of hoops right now. Just roll with it!ReplyDelete
It will be over before you know it and then you'll say "See that wasn't so bad". Well maybe not tomorrow, but someday.ReplyDelete
I remember the car too. You were scared till you got the car. That was just a matter of days...right?
LMAO at the CFM shoes. That was a hilarious post! You should repost it.
You can do hard things! Love ya and thinking about ya!
Great news!!! I'm so happy for you - and yes, there will be (stupid) hurdles to jump via the mortgage company (there always are), but then it will be yours, all yours!ReplyDelete
Congratulations, my friend!
Great news! I always wish someone would do these kinds of things for me, rather than my having to do them -- though really, what a sense of accomplishment you must feel once you get to the other side. Congratulations.ReplyDelete
Oh, I'm so glad! I thought the pictures were beautiful, but I was afraid to get too enthusiastic for fear I'd jinx something.ReplyDelete
Congratulations!! Another abode not on a gravel road!ReplyDelete
Maybe the acquisition nerve wracking because there is very little actual activity coupled with lots of waiting and anticipation. The moving process however, is just chuck FULL of activity. Maybe that will be better.
A single will raise your batting average and might even drive in a run. Swing for what you need, not to impress anyone.
I'm so happy for you Roxie. What a wonderful way to continue into your new life. Congrats.ReplyDelete
Don't forget both sides feel that way. "Did I get the very best deal?" You are wisely doing the best you can with what you have. It's going to be a great house.ReplyDelete

Drama on the high seas
Piracy, long romanticized in the land of fiction, is back in the real world. And the modern truth is a lot less appealing than the historic fantasies.
June 7, 2010 4:56 by Samuel Potter
The security officer of the UAE-owned cargo vessel MV QSM Dubai has called for merchant crews to be weapons trained and armed to fight off piracy, reports the National.
Captain Maqsood Khan said the death of Captain Syed Jafar Jafrid, who was shot and killed in a gun battle with Somali pirates last week, had rocked the UAE shipping community. It is thought to be the first time the captain of a Gulf-owned vessel has been killed on duty, says the paper.
"Arms should be allowed on board. The crew should be trained to fight back," said Capt Khan. "The pirates know that the crew is unarmed and that is why they attack us. Taking pirates to the international court and filing cases against them is of no use."
The gun battle occurred after pirates from Somalia attacked the vessel and took control. Security forces from the Puntland region of the country stormed the ship and "outgunned" the pirates after the captain was killed and they refused to surrender.
And all this for a ship carrying a cargo not of oil, valuable metal, or electronics goods, but sugar.
The increase in piracy is a major concern for the UAE, which has made great progress in its efforts to become a shipping and trading hub. Throughput for Dubai ports alone is expected to reach 150 million tonnes this year, up from 139 million tonnes in 2009.
This latest hijack is one in a long line by Somali pirates who have a surprisingly sophisticated business plan, according to a Security Council report. A basic operation involves eight to 12 pirates at sea for long stretches of time. Each team needs two attack skiffs, weapons, provisions and a supply boat if possible. To be eligible for employment, it helps it the candidate already has a weapon – the ownership of which will entitle him to an A-share, as will provision of a skiff. Militiamen providing security on land (in the event of a successful hijack) receive a B-share. If a hijack is successful, supplies will be required for both pirates and hostage crew – this is usually provided by suppliers who forego payment until a ransom is paid, when they collect a significant profit.
The cause of this increase in piracy is hard to narrow down to any single factor, but mostly it is a combination of desperation on the part of the pirates, and opportunism on the part of financiers and investors (those with assets who often provide the start-up capital or seed money for operations in exchange for a share of the spoils). But both of these stem from the wider failure of Somalia as a state, reports Khaleej Times.
"As generally defined, a failed state is one that does not control all of its territory, provide public services, exercise authority over the state or represent it competently in international relations. Given all of that, the shorthand definition of a failed state is, Somalia," says the paper.
Which means that, despite the capture of 1,090 Somali pirates over the last two years, with 64 killed, pirates currently hold the highest number of vessels ever at the Somali coast, says the paper.
So until a solution can be found for the failed state that is Somalia, it seems unlikely that one will be found for the piracy plaguing the UAE – and global – shipping industry.

Paris Saint-Germain have finally won their first game of the season thanks to Zlatan Ibrahimovic's brace against Lille, and they added to a good weekend by making yet another transfer market splash, signing right back Gregory van der Wiel from Ajax. According to the PSG website, the Holland international, who's been linked to a host of huge clubs across Europe for over the last two transfer windows, has signed a four-year deal which will keep him at the Parc de Princes through the 2015/16 season.
The 24-year-old right back will be competing for playing time against Chirstophe Jallet, who's featured in more than a century of league games for PSG. If van der Wiel's recent performances for Holland are any indication, there's no guarantee that he'll win out. The transfer fee is undisclosed, but European right backs haven't been going for too much on the open market lately, so it'd be a shock to see it much about €10 million. Then again, it's PSG. Who knows!

I lived there for 1.5 years. I had my apt sprayed several times, dry cleaned ALL my clothing several times and to no avail. Basically, there are rent controlled apartments in the building that management wants to renovate and therefore I don't think the bed bug treament those tenanats receive is a aggressive as the treatment residents paying market rents receive. This is my hunch as after treatment the bed bugs would always return. When I looked closely I spotted twice the bugs crawling down my
wall from the apt above (rent controlled and unsealed - the tenants complained that the floors had cracks). It was a recurring nightmare. Our neighbors below us also had them despite several treatments.
No nearby bug reports

Babatunde Idowu Ebenezer
Singing For Tata Mandela
Take not the sound of our wailing for sorrow.
Know that our tears are not of sadness.
If possible, more voices we will borrow,
So the lyrics of our songs will not be taken for madness.
Africa will sing along with us aloud.
From Dakar to Kumasi, our voices will echo.
Bring your cymbals, azonto is allowed.
Let our chests crawl along the walls like gecko.
Tell Zambia to rise and sing.
Ban Chang'aa in the streets of Kenya today.
Mount the gongs and put on the ring.
Make singing and dancing the job of the day.
Let us sing for Tata Mandela,
Raise your voices and shout Madiba.
We gather today to honour a father,
The sunbow testifies to his glorious life.
The clouds o'erhead which gather,
Are there to pay homage to his hive.
The rain will fall to bring back the time,
When waves of selfless struggles and strives,
Washed away apartheid kingdom with mime,
And ensured that justice and equity thrive.
We remember the orchestrator and dance,
Dance with vigour to the singing of his name.
We prick and shake the earth with lance,
To drive to the earth the seeds of his fame.
For they are too holy to fade.
Their books must grow for our children to wade.
Tata, we humbly sing your praises,
Wave us on, so our sweats will flow.
Rolihlahla, we are here to present our phrases,
Smile to us, so our wrappers can blow.
Nelson, we have brought you yams,
Let your tender voice give the order,
So we can slaughter the white rams,
And celebrate with songs beyond our border.
Madiba, we raise our hands in salute,
The spirits of Soweto's children are with us.
Take from us and blow gently into the flute,
Lead us in the procession and sacrifice the ox.
Dalibunga, it is you we have come for,
Mandela, it is you we want at the fore.

5 Steps to Effective Personnel Management
Effective personnel management is one of the hardest tasks for any manager but it's also one of the most important.
Managing large teams can feel like a never ending task. The minute you think you have a grasp of the team's availability and capabilities, something changes and it can feel like going back to square one.
You need to approach the different aspects of personnel management in the right order, at the right times, for the best chance of success.
In this post I outline my 5 Steps to Effective Personnel Management. Read through and see how they compare to your processes.
Why Leadership is Important at Every Level
"Who is your Leadership Skills course aimed at?"
That is the most common question we get asked about leadership training.
The answer?
Anybody who wants to lead in their organisation, from team members up to C-level executives and business owners.
It is a common misconception that leadership is only important for positions of authority.
I think that's wrong and in this post I'm going to explain why leadership is important at all levels of an organisation.
I've also put together some highly simplified graphics to show why I think that leadership at the bottom can often lead to highest level of organisational change.
Leading from the Top
How to Be Assertive
The balance between passivity and aggressiveness can sometimes be a difficult thing to find.
Many find themselves being too passive in a situation which demands a more direct and confident approach, whilst others, in an effort to correct this, are too aggressive and domineering.
On our Assertiveness Training Course, we show you how to maintain this perfect balance and become more confident in your approach.
Assertiveness is neither being passive or aggressive but rather making your opinions be heard, recognised and respected.
It is the ability to withstand outside pressure and bias and stay true to what you know is right.
Leading Upwards
True leaders lead whether they've been given an official position of power or not.
On our Leadership Training Course, you'll learn that it takes more than just a title to be a leader; it takes courage, passion, empathy, confidence and a whole lot more.
Being able to lead effectively when you're not a designated leader is tough.
It's a fine line to tread between being helpful and being arrogant or egotistical, and this is especially the case with how your boss or superior will react to you taking some of the reigns.
With that in mind, I thought we'd take a look at how to lead upwards, without encroaching on your manager's territory.
This is the sort of advanced people management skill that will really give your career a boost in the long-term.
Understanding Yourself
Analyse your skills
If you're aware of where your strengths and weaknesses lie, you'll be better equipped to deal with others, and dealing with others is the fundamental goal of leadership.
Is communication something you're comfortable with or does it need working on? Are you a confident talker or a thoughtful listener (or both)? Do you lead with charisma or are you reserved?
Asking these questions, and others, of yourself will allow you to get to grips with who you are in a professional capacity, and only then can you begin to lead others.
Leading With Charisma
In this post, our leadership trainer Matt runs through what it means to be charismatic and why it is such an important trait for great leaders. Confidence plays a big role in having charisma; something we emphasise on our Confidence and Assertiveness Course.
It's always interesting when you are running a leadership course and the subject of charisma comes up.
When I ask the question "what is the difference between leadership and management?" you can pretty much guarantee that someone will say "managers don't need charisma, but leaders must have it".
I often then ask delegates who their examples of people with charisma are, and this is where it gets intriguing. You get such a wide variety of suggestions.
Amongst the choices people have put forward have been: President Obama (a popular choice), Simon Cowell, Sir David Attenborough (he seems to be universally admired), Karren Brady and Richard Branson. It's also very touching when people name previous teachers or managers as examples.
What I think is notable is that often one person's choice will surprise other delegates and sometimes will elicit fierce debate.

Ricketts drop the ball on Wrigley Field renovation, but game's not over
November 23, 2010
Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts seeks government help to renovate Wrigley Field, a move derided by Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley, editorial pages, and callers to sports talk radio. Ricketts proposes to use 35 years of any growth in existing annual amusement taxes the team pays to support a $200 million bond-driven renovation, but critics see this as private enterprise taking from the city revenue that is needed elsewhere.

Welcome to busy Manila Bay, where sailors haggle and commercial ships find their crews.
Vendors, meanwhile, sell anything from pirated DVDs to snacks, chilled bottled water, used shoes, newspapers, even houses. One entrepreneur offers full-body massages; on a particularly hot day this week, a shirtless sailor sitting on a plastic stool gets the brisk body work while many others line up for the same treatment.
Then there's the eye-and-ear cleaner, who, for a small fee and using nothing but a cotton bud or tweezer, cleans eyeballs and plucks the hair — and wax! — off his clients' ears. It's not a pretty or comfortable sight but the sailors who mill around seem to enjoy it — just another boredom-buster as far as they're concerned.
It wasn't always like this at the sailors' market, whose growth over the years is linked to the development of seafaring in the Philippines. According to the Overseas Employment Administration, 30 percent of the world's merchant sailors — about 270,000 people — are Filipinos. They are among the eight million Filipino workers overseas whose remittances — more than $16 billion last year — help keep the economy afloat.
It's not clear when the sailors' market began, but it started to take on a life of its own when those waiting for their appointments at the manning agencies across the street would kill time in the shade. The area transformed from a mere waiting shed for sailors, who are mostly from the provinces, into an area teeming with sailors and vendors who quickly followed.
"It's better than the mall," said a sailor, who only identified himself as Ronald, scanning the crowd in front of him. Ronald, who comes from Roxas City in the central Philippines, has been here twice and hopes to find a job as a utility man, an all-around crew member who does menial labor such as cleaning toilets.
Ronald said he's not aiming for a higher position right now because the global economic crisis has caused some Filipino-manned ships to cancel their trips. He cannot afford to be picky.
"We've heard of sailors who couldn't find board ships because of the crisis. Some recruiters have also been offering lower wages," said Michael Cardenas, a utility man who is working temporarily as a recruiter for Technonav Crew Management. Cardenas was one of several sailors and recruiters who said they were concerned about the state of the global economy and its impact on their job prospects.
And as for the pirates of Somalia, the current scourge of the seafaring world who now hold more than a hundred Filipino sailors hostage — the most of any nationality?
"There is always a danger in what we do. But the benefits outweigh the risks," said Jacob, himself a sailor and the father of a child, who hopes to earn as much as $800 per month working on a ship, almost four times the minimum wage in Manila. "We have to think of our family and our future."

Blue Book® Suggested Retail Value
Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
Tell us what you think...
The community thinks...
Smooth and quiet by Joe from Michigan on 01/07/2011. Trim: 2008 Buick LaCrosse CXL, Owned 1 year.
Pros: This car is the smoothest and most quiet I have ever owned (and I owned a caddy before). I do a lot of hwy driving and live in the country and it gets about 30 mpg if I keep to the speed limit. I got the Dark Blue Metallic and the upgraded chrome rims. The color really makes the chrome stand out and I have gotten a lot of compliments on it. Many are surprised it is a buick becuase the chrome & color makes it look sporty. Everyone who has ridden in this car has commented on how quiet and smooth the ride is. Handles great in all weather including snow.
Cons: the fuel range says "low miles" after you get below about 50 miles and i think they could have done better with that
Overall review: Great car. It is a shame more people don't give Buick a chance when they are car shopping. It is superior to any forign car in its price range, and I drove them all.
Review ID: #550454 Is this review offensive?
Best Buick! by Judy - Commack, NY on 02/04/2013. Trim: 2008 Buick LaCrosse CX, Owned 5 years.
Pros: I just love my LaCrosse, especially on parkways. It's nice and quiet and I know there's a good solid car unde me!!
Cons: Mileage could be a little better
Overall review: LOVE IT!!!
Review ID: #569372 Is this review offensive?
Nice car by Russel Dargel, 1204 S. Border Ave, # 607, Weslaco, Tx. 78596 on 06/19/2008. Trim: 2008 Buick LaCrosse CXL, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Handles real well and is quiet .
Cons: I am disappointed in the gas mileage. I am only getting about 15 or 16 mpg. I had a 1999 Lesabre that I traded in that I got 21 mpg. with the same engine. I wonder if something could be done to improve this LaCrosse?
Overall review: Other than foel economy ,I am well pleased with it.
Review ID: #529235 Is this review offensive?
Buick LaCross CX 2008 by mina on 10/25/2013. Trim: 2008 Buick LaCrosse CX, Owned 5 years.
Pros: This car has a luxury feel, decent acceleration when needed and through the mountains.
Cons: The interior pieces break easily and the transmission/torque converter gave out before 100,000 miles. The car has been carefully maintained and serviced as recommended so it was a dissappointment
Overall review: This car was a nice attempt to provide luxury and style with a sporty look. However it doesn't compare to other cars we've owned in its class for reliability and quality.
Review ID: #577567 Is this review offensive?
Dream Ride by Annie from Tennessee on 07/26/2012. Trim: 2008 Buick LaCrosse CXL, Owned 4 years.

Northwestern hospital, doctors eye restructuring
Chicago Breaking Business, September 29, 2010
Northwestern Memorial Hospital and affiliated doctor groups are discussing a major restructuring to help its doctors and facilities better prepare for the health overhaul law and put the academic medical center in the nation's top tier, according to sources and a document obtained by the Tribune.
Called "Northwestern Medicine," the new structure being pursued is being designed to be more nimble when it comes to contracting with health insurance companies who pay the hospital and doctors as well as making business decisions when it comes to recruiting physicians or obtaining grant money, these sources said.

Think about the last time you journeyed somewhere new and foreign. There were many preparations that had to be made, including an itinerary of places to visit and even places to avoid. The traveler tries to learn as much information ahead of time about the places that will be visited so the trip doesn't seem so scary or overwhelming. The end result of any journey is to return home again with lots of wonderful memories and stories to tell.

Excellent experience. The family who runs it was so nice. We got half board, which included breakfast & dinner - both meals were excellent. There is a co-op grocery store about a 5 min walk uphill, near center of Wengen - and you can buy lunch stuff there. I really hope to come back some day.
