Rant/its been a while/need advice
Hello followers. It's been a while. .. im still alive. I now have internet so I should be on me regularly.
As some of you may know (some don't)
I got married at the beginning of the year. With my amazing wife whom I love dearly.
However lately things have been a little. .. tense.. we've had alot of stupid little fights. The fights Where on their own you look back the next day and go~… wow.. that was stupid. ~ but weve had a lot recently. .. over really stupid things like being on the phone while watching movies or doing the dishes/laundry ect. REALLY STUPID THINGS. But they've been happening almost daily. One of my big things is the phone usage when is ok and when not Ok
Lately we've been wondering why we fight so Dam much. We still love each other. We still find each other amazing. So why? ?
I realised today that ive changed. Before I still loved abby (my wife) but I have been hurt so many times that I'd come to accept theidea that we might break up one day bc I do something stupid, and I would just have to treasure the memory. - however now I am terrified to lose her. (In the emotional sence and physical. She's in the army..lets not make a long story longer)
And im so paranoid and self conscious and afraid that I think that it might be part of it. That and the stress of living on the complete opposite side of the us as my family.(yay army)
since making this realization ivr been in a shit mood and can't make it go away. To the point where is affecting my marriage more than the fights themselves.
Anyway if anyone has read all the way thru this I would love some advice.
Thank you for your time

The House of Representatives has approved a bill allowing telephone providers the ability to discontinue land line service.
The House vote was 71-39. A similar bill passed the Senate 31-4 in December of 2013. Details of each bill need to be worked on before being sent to the governor's desk for approval.
The number of traditional land lines dropped from 6.8 million in 2001 to 2.6 million last year, and providers want more flexibility to do away with traditional service.
The proposed changes would begin in 2017.
People who still want a land line could get an Internet-provided phone line known as VoIP if they have broadband access.
AT&T says the legislation would eliminate red tape. Critics such as the AARP say they have concerns about reliability and say the bill should do more to protect customers.
Thank you for participating in our poll. Here are the results so far:

I left work with a tongue out due to stress counting our stocks. I have to endorsed the shop to a person with high maintenance and so perfect with all the stocks. So she organized everything from A to Z. I'm living 1 1/2 weeks and we need to make sure everything is perfect. I'm confident that she'll make a difference in our shop. She'll get used with the irate and argument from customers from time to time, but I told her to just focused on the showroom matters and not to involve herself with the technical issues. But I'm still so stressed… I have deadlines to meet with online works as well. But right now, my main priority is to leave the shop with a clear record. Oh God help me straighten things up before living. I lift everything to you. Amen.
276/365 – Happy Birthday Wael!
A few months ago, Wael and Soumaya celebrated their life together as husband and wife here and here. And now, they have a new home to fulfill their dreams together. We
visited invaded their home sweet home to greet Wael a happy birthday. The guys brought 3 cakes and Soumaya prepared finger foods for the guests.
Happy birthday again Wael and congratulations to the two of you! May your new home brings luck and we're all praying for a good news soon….
Decision Making
How are you people?
Well, as for me – doing well Alhamdulillah! Thanks be to God! I recently made a big decision. It was a tough one. But I guess, we all come to a point where we need to give up on something we're used to do or have.
And now, I'm praying for guidance and strength to face another career path. I'm seeking for signs. Hubby said, "don't ask for a good job, ask God Allah to give you the job right for you. The job that will not just give you financial support, but the job that will give you peace of mind as you come home from work…" Amen.
RESIGN, v.t. To renounce an honor for an advantage. To renounce an advantage for a greater advantage.
Soon to Open
Our boss is on his target to open another branch. So right now, we're collecting ideas on how to make the shop looks presentable and open to customers. We're in canvass of looking the best point of purchase displays there is in the market right now. Floor planning are needed as well. Brainstorming that is. We need all the ideas possible to have this shop a success. Well I hope that I'm still with the company by that time.
BBM Ban in UAE and KSA
OMG! This is not a good news at all. We do hope that Qtel the #1 leading service provider for Blackberry service here in Qatar will not be affected with this issue. It will be a big loss for the people and a big loss for our current sales as well. Blackberry handheld phone are top of the list and #1 salable item every month and next is iPhone 3Gs. People are so gaga with the Blackberry Messenger features and I'm one of those people. It's one of the cost effective way to communicate with my friends. I don't use text messaging anymore. We all crossed our fingers for this.
Two Gulf states to ban some Blackberry functions
The UAE denies censorship is involved
Two Gulf states have announced bans on some functions of the Blackberry mobile phone, claiming security concerns.
The United Arab Emirates is to block sending e-mails, accessing the internet, and delivering instant messages to other Blackberry handsets.
Saudi Arabia is to prevent the use of the Blackberry-to-Blackberry instant messaging service.
Both nations are unhappy that they are unable to monitor such communications via the handsets.
This is because the Blackberry handsets automatically send the encrypted data to computer servers outside the two countries. – source
CS & Sales Team Meeting
Last Wednesday, me and the rest of the Sales Department went out to for lunch date with the Customer Service Team. Unfortunately, due to unexpected circumstances that can't be explained, only 3 out of 11 from the Sales department was able to join while the rest of the Customer Service team are present.
The plan was to eat lunch at T.G.I.F. then go visit the Gondolandia to play bowling and go for roller coaster ride. I wasn't able to take photos since I forgot to bring my camera with me. So here are some photos I grabbed from a friend that she posted in FB.
(L): CS Manager – Joy, Logistics Manager – Emily, CS Supervisor – Joana and Direct Sales Supervisor – Me
I don't know what's wrong with me here but I think just the usual thing, me telling jokes to everyone, ha-ha!
After eating a big meal, we went inside the Gondolandia a place with all the rides for children. Me and beside me Jee rode the roller coaster. Here I was so amazed with excitement. I felt like a teen ager once again.
I missed this girl! Jee and I both have kids at the same age. Enya was born 10 days earlier though.
Registering ourselves in the counter was such fun. All of us was making jokes here and there. They all had to buy socks though since we have to leave our shoes behind and wear our bowling shoes.
Getting ready to go bowling. Me and Joy took a pose with our bowling shoes on. If the shoe fits, that means it's good to go.
We got this claim tag for our shoes. So here I was with Joana making ourselves like one of those wanted on the list, haha!
The day went too fast we didn't notice that we had to go home. We had fun and we hope to do it again. But we're hoping to be complete by that time.
Happy 23rd, Adnan!
Last night we celebrated Adnan's 23rd birthday. It was a quiet and simple celebration. Except of course it could have been quieter if not for the guys shouting for joy because of Germany who won 3rd place for this year's FIFA World Cup 2010 against Uruguay. They could've won (Uruguay) if they continued their defense up to the end. The score was 2-1 when we arrived. But of course the Germany machined kicked off after the 60th minute making it tied 2-2. And then another score ending 3-1. What am I talking about? Ahhh… that's why the party last night was not that noisy like before. But at least Adnan's blessings for another year was recognized. Not enough pictures though. I didn't bring my camera with me because I forgot to plug the battery in the charger.
Adnan is my first model. Last 2008 we made a photo shoot for him. You can find some of his photos here. We had fun taking pictures for his solo. I didn't know yet how to use Photoshop that time and my hands were still shaking because I don't have my stand as well. But the photo below was edited now using Photoshop CS3.
And that year as well, we went to the park to unwind 1 Friday afternoon. Me and a friend took photos of Adnan too. This was our 2nd session.
I do hope that we could set a date next time to do his portraits. He's a very gentle guy with a great pose on and off cam. By the way, he's an aspiring model. Happy Birthday again to you Adnune.
A Pre-Wedding Celebration for Wael and Soumaya
Congratulations to the future MR & MRS CHERIF-RAHIMA. We had fun dancing and fooling around their pre-wedding celebration. We left the party around 2 o'clock this morning. Since Julia was whining already since she was so sleepy. Got tired dancing around on the dance floor I guess.
I wish I could have a flickr Pro account so that I could've uploaded all the picture there. So for the meantime, I uploaded all photos over my FB account. All my friends tagged themselves up already. I got around 6 friend request as well from people I'm working with that haven't got an idea that they all have an FB account, he-he!
Sweets from Opera Cafe – which I haven't got the chance to taste. Ugh! I'm so bad with food. I took a photo of it but I was busy following our little one around that I forgot to eat. Tsk tsk!
I love this shot.
Reminds me of Madonna's rendition of "Hang-Up".
Time goes by… so slowly
Time goes by… so slowly
Time goes by… so slowly
Time goes by… so slowly
Time goes by… so slowly
Time goes by… so slowly
Of course our little one will not be left behind. She was amazed with the confetti all around her.
And here's me and my treasures in life, my loving husband and our toddler Julia (who was looking as if she'll eat up her dad, he-he!)
Thanks Leah for this shot.
And these are my dear friends. Mojo, Ezel and Jen.
And here are the couples, Wael and Souamaya.
Soumaya wore a Blue Lavander dress which is her favorite color. She's so pretty in her gown and Wael at the same time looked so manly with his shining Black suit.DAY 142 – THE 365 DAYS PROJECT
This was just a pre-wedding celebration. Both will have their wedding in Syria by July during their vacation. We wish them both all the best.
W&S Wedding (Part 2)
Just came home from Wael and Soumaya's wedding celebration.
All of us had fun on the dance floor. The food was great and the most important thing of all, was that the couple looked so happy together. I wasn't able to take too much photos because a lot of them brought their own cameras so I'm sure they could get a copy for tonight. And I was running over my little one every once in a while since she herself wanted to dance the night away.
This was her first outfit. We went to visit a dear friend who just gave birth a week ago. The weather was so humid tonight, Julia was sweating hard. See her shoes? I bought it last night, with a 20% off the original price. Her first Mary Jane shoes. We're telling her that she's going to school and she would act that she will go out of the door, haha!
I ate too much tonight, so I need to check out those natural fat burner in town.
To the newly weds, CONGRATULATIONS & BEST WISHES! Will upload the photos on my FB account by tomorrow. Need to get some rest for now.
W&S Wedding
One of Hubby's closest friend is getting married today, and they asked me to make the invites for them. They'll be sending this invites thru email. Last night, I made this layout for both of them in just 2 hours. I made it as a draft actually, but right after sending the outcome of their invitation. Soumaya's favorite color is Purple, so I tried my best to find the simplest color I could find and she chose this background.
CREDITS: Oopsie Daisies, Bon Scrapatit! Papers and embellishments.
I still have a few hours to rest before the late party tonight. It'll be a long night for us for sure. One of our managers offered to make the party at his villa. It's going to be a pool party as well. I'll be busy for a while, because I'm checking out a review on the best anti wrinkle cream treatment there is in the market. Aside from that, I need to do some house hold chores as well. Will be going to work again by Sunday so I need to hurry up tidying things up.
iTech Qatar Exhibition 2010
And here we are for the last day of our exhibit in Qatar Expo. Me and a colleague was assigned to promote the Starlink Products and services. It was a great exhibit to promote the services that our company has to offer for the people of Qatar.
Day 1 and 2, I wasn't able to attend since Hubby was so busy with their new project that launched last Thursday. I even brought Julia with me last Saturday at the exhibit and left Maricel work for more than 2 hours alone since a friend who volunteered to baby sit on her failed to do the task. Julia was not cooperative with him that she vomited on his clothes from the time they picked her up from her day baby sitter until they reached us from the exhibit which was a long drive that took them an hour to get to our place. I really thank Sajid for the efforts though. I'm sure he'll be a great dad in the future.
So back to the exhibit, we had a good sales for day 1, that was yesterday. But today, we closed our sales only around 4k I think. But the good thing was we enjoyed our time and we learned a lot from our competitors in this type of business. I can't wait to have an exhibit like this. And I hope that next time, the schedule will fit my sched.
Here are some more photos to share with you guys.
This was taken when we were wrapping up and ready to leave.
With big brother kuya Lino, in-charge of the Facilities and drivers.
Looking over his phone, hehe!
This guy is lucky to have us both in his side, haha!
Completely Open
As of today, our business is an official partner for Virgin Mobile Qatar.
This is what I've been doing for the past few days. Training and Product knowledge has been given for the staff in preparation for today's launched.
Last night, after closing our sales, I had to go back to the shop and put the merchandising materials that was sent to us earlier. So here's the entrance to one of our shops which I'm currently handling.
I'm excited for their products and services that they offer since the rates are very competitive and this is their 8th International Operation. They are open already in UK, Australia, Canada, US, France, South Africa and India.
Have you seen Lady Gaga's MTV Telephone featuring Beyonce? Well, she's advertising Virgin Mobile phone on one of the clips.
Day 119 – The 365 Days Project
Now our shop looks more colorful especially with the red designs all over the place. Our CEO is very much excited for this. We all hope for the best. Most especially me since Hubby joined this group 2 months ago. I'm so happy for his success. The success of Virgin Mobile Qatar is his success as well, since he's in a new journey with them. It's always good to be a pioneer.

Today has been a long day. 3 consecutive meetings with 3 different groups was so tiring. Thinking too hard that most of the times, my brain has ended up hanging in the air, LOL! I feel like sometimes I'm not in the group at all this afternoon, I feel like I'm floating somewhere else. I was hungry, that's the problem. My mind was set up every now and to tell a colleague to call up the food delivery, haha!
After 3 hours of exchanging points of views, still I'm happy that I find myself laughing most of the times at work which is a healthy thing to do especially on our field of work. Being on sales is a hard task to do. Reaching target goals and a lot of suggestions, paper works and shop inventories is a big load of work rolled into one. Laughing and having fun with each other as a group somehow helps us motivate ourselves to say "Hey… it's okay, everything will be alright… we can do it…" – sigh!
I still have 2 consecutive meetings to attend to… sigh…

NEW YORK (AP) - An American flag stolen from the family of a firefighter killed on Sept. 11 has been returned with a note that says: "I am so sorry, I had no idea."
NBC New York reports that the flag was returned Thursday. It has resumed flying on the porch of Melissa Brengel's home in Huntington Station on New York's Long Island.
Brengel's brother, Jonathan Ielpi (eye-EHL'-pee), was 29 when he died at the World Trade Center in 2001.
The family believes the flag was stolen last Monday or early Tuesday. Brengel says, "We put it out during certain times of the year just to remember."
She says the September 11th Families Association gave her the flag after it flew over the World Trade Center ruins.

Bottle courtesy from Monger: Poured a bright gold yellow color beer with a nice big pure white foamy head with good retention and good lacing. Aroma of floral malt with some dry crisp hops is quite enjoyable. Taste is also dominated by some floral malt with some light sweet notes and a medium dry crisp finish which is quite enjoyable. Body is full for the style with some good carbonation. Another very good beer from a great brewer from a style that produce too much crap IMO.

This beer poured out as a clear looking yellow color with a foamy white head on top. The head retention was pretty strong on this from start to finish. The lacing wasn't much to look at other than a few scattered clumps on the glass. The smell of the beer was of fresh grains and yeast. The taste of the beer is very mild, it's slightly grassy but mostly grainy with a subtle hop spark in the finish. The mouthfeel of the beer was clean, light bodied, moderately refreshing and dry in the finish. Overall this beer was pretty good for what it is. It's not something I am all that into but it's a good beer that fits the style I think. Definitely worth trying.

Golden color with a high level of clarity. Steady streams of upward carbonation. Irregular peaks of zig-zag lacing coat the glass.
Very delicate grassy aroma, floral hops, and apples. Reminds me of a picnic outdoors with nature all around.
Apples and grassy herbal hops seem to take charge of the taste profile. Spritzy carbonation keeps things lively. A light pale malt breadiness balances things out, with a residual raw honey malty aftertaste that becomes dry.
Quite a light-feeling Pils, but still flavorful and balanced. There was no question about having another one. The epitome of a hot-weather session Pilsner.
Trying to convert your macro-fixated friends? Hand them this beauty.
Wish I had a case of this...

12oz brown bottle with no freshness date
LOOK: Bright deep golden hue, lovely lacing
SMELL: Fresh grass, grainy, faint grape skin, fine herbal hop, floral, bready
TASTE: Very smooth, crisp pop, moderate sized body, malty, grainy, grassy, bready, herbal, lemony hop, slightly bitter, clean, spicy, nutty, dry finish
Spot on, I would not expect anything less from New Glarus though even with that said ... they really nailed it here. Close to perfection for the style. Puts many of the imported counterparts to shame.

Bought this last weekend at the brewery. 12 oz. bottle poured into my 2012 New York Giants Super Bowl Champions pint glass.
a - Pours a somewhat transparent straw yellow color with one finger of fluffy white head and moderate carbonation evident.
s - Smells of grains, wheat, bready malts, biscuit, dough, light earthy notes, apples, and some light sweet corn. Not bad but not a ton going on.
t - Taste follows the nose pretty closely. Tastes of grains, bready malts, toasted malts, wheat, dough, biscuit, apples, light fruity malts, earthy notes, floral hops, and sweet corn. Again, nice but nothing too special.
m - Pretty light body and moderate carbonation. Very easy to drink beer.
o - Overall a slightly above average pilsner. Not bad at all, but not a ton going on to be honest; kind of surprised by the high score. Easy drinking and better than most light beers, but otherwise nothing special. Probably my least favorite NG beer to date.

Pours bright, clear yellow with tiny-bubbled carbonation forming a lasting, creamy, white head. Lacing sticks down the glass.
The smell is of lemon, hay, and floral hops.
The taste of lemon and grass/hay. The soft but flavorful hops blend with the smooth, grainy malt. Sweet backbone complemented by a dry kiss in the finish. Very crisp and refreshing. Carbonation level fits it wonderfully.
A very well-done, true-to-style German-style pils. Very enjoyable and easy-to-drink!

Picked up a single at Casanova in Hudson, WI. It's dry, crisp, and hoppy, what a nice example of a German pilsner. The aroma is a little hoppier than a beer straight from the motherland, but that's by no means a bad thing. The hops are herbal and grassy upfront with mild kicks of lemon and grapefruit. The malt jumps out from behind the hops, with mix of doughy and toasty bread notes. A delicious beer, it reminds me of a more traditional (and more drinkable) version of Victory's Prima Pils. The finish is biting and a little rough, like you'd expect from a healthy helping of Euro hops. I'd have another.

12oz bottle obtained via trade with kmpitz2. Thanks for the opportunity.
Poured into an imperial pint glass, formed a 1/4" white head over the cloudy golden amber brew. Head is quickly down to a skim of teensy bubbles, with average slow-falling lace. Aroma is minimal, with pale malt sweetness trying to take a stand. Taste starts with the pale malts, goes a touch fruity in the middle, and then closes with a slight bitterness. Mouthfeel is pretty smooth, and definitely sedate, and drinkability is not bad either. This beer seems to be trying to fly under the radar, not too much standout, but nothing bad either.

This crystal clear gold beer throws a nice frothy head that has some retention. Aroma is of noble hops and very slight perfume. Nicely carbonated. Pretty bitter. I like a pilsner with some bite. The 4 varieties of hops used work nicely together. (Tettnager, Saaz, Styrian Golding and Strisselspalt)
There's a nice pilsner malt backbone. Good take on a German-style Pilsner.

12oz single, leftover from a 6 pack snagged at sadhanna's for some light summer drinking
appearance: pours into a Sweetwater pint glass a clear straw-golden colour with lively carbonation and nice pillowy white froth, pretty nice lacing
smell: nice aromas...dry malt, grassy, touch of lemon, fair amount of hops noticeable...smells pretty great
taste: i didnt know anything about this beer when i bought it and i figured it was a blonde ale. turns out its a very refreshing pilsner, that i wish was on tap in more places. great lemongrass throughout, juicy, well hopped but not overpowering...nice, simple malt structure
mouthfeel: nice carbonation, lively
drinkability: very high

12 oz bottle poured into a pilsner glass.
4.8% ABV, 2152 on neck in black.
Thanks for this awesome brew D-Train!
A - Home Town Blonde is a shimmering, well, blonde color that shines brightly with fantastic clarity. A frothy cloud white head billows above the beer, sustained very well. Clumps of thick lace clutch the pint with might!
S - The lovely aroma wafts out with gentle potency and spot-on composition. Mineral water hardness laces the wonderfully floral hop attributes which don't play second fiddle to the malt; certainly a good pale and pilsner base, however.
T - A delicate blend of floral and herbal hop notes combines for a symphony of flavor that softly blankets the lightly sweet pilsner malt and grainy pale malt. Again, mineral water emerges, stronger in flavor than the nose but not overpowering.
M - Medium-light in body, Home Town Blonde is a crisp and dry pilsner with mild sweetness and moderate mineral water. This really lets the German noble hops shine for a clean bitter finish and lingering satisfaction.
O - It shouldn't come as a surprise that New Glarus' remarkable take on a classic German Pilsner is but a few shades away from pure perfection; after all, brewer Dan Carey DID serve his brewing apprenticeship just outside of Munich, Germany. This golden beauty is loaded with German noble hops for a floral and bitter balance to the crisp and extremely drinkable medium-light bodied beer. It's a shame lagers are under-appreciated; this is one damn fine tasting beer I wish I had my hands on all summer!

Color is a cloudy pale yellow with a nice medium strength white head that stays kinda puffy thick eventually settling to a skim always present and very tiny spots of lace. Smell is quite unique, smells like fruity pebbles, with nice light fruits of berrys and a light dried bread or cracker-like backing with a trace of hops that lends some notes of mustyness and herbal quality. Taste is quite complex and very interestingly yummy. Straight up easy and soft bready malts up front, so smooth and soft its just a pleasure to let it touch the tongue. Oh so very nice. A touch of fruitish berries hinting with very light grains of wheat and the hops are so pleasingly balanced in with nice even herbal/grassy notions thats very nice on the palette. Very steady and mellow balance with a super nice finish that is a bit like saltine crackers with a light drying with a dash of bread salts like that of dry pretzels. One excellent taste'n Pils!! Feel is a solid medium body with a small kick in the middle, mellowing smooth, lightly crisp and drying finish with lingering saltish drying that sticks around on the sides of the cheeks. Yum, yum,yum, Home Town Blonde in my tum. One very fine German Pils. Another keeper by N.G.!

Looks the part...a very clean, clear gold with a frothy white head on top...European style hops on the nose and the buds...pretty good maltiness, but the hops are this beers calling card...a husky hop bite with long lingering bitterness on the finish.
This isn't my type of beer, but tastes pretty close to what I envisioned a beer billed as a german style pilsner to taste like..

A- Near inch tall white head on a mid golden body. lots of quick moving effervescence. Very good head retention and drink-by-drink step lacing.
S- Bread, hints of lemon zest.
T- Toasted malts, balanced well with bright floral hops. Has a great clean finish, I love it.
M- Medium mouthfeel. Prickly medium carbonation.
D/O- Easily one of the most quaffable pilsners I've had. The refreshing, clean aftertaste is my favorite characteristic of Home Town Blonde. Another hit from up north.

12oz. bottle poured into a tulip.
(A)- Pours a clear yellow color. Produced a nice cap of white foam. Good retention and lacing too.
(S)- A sharp grainy hay and biscuit with its of a honey, lemon peel sweetness.
(T)- Similar to the smell. A sharp grainy maltiness with a subtle honey sweetness.
(M)- A good carbonation level and balance. Subtle sweetness and dry grainy balance as well.
(O)- Overall, its always great to be able to depend on a brewery like New Glarus to deliver a solid to great beer. Highly drinkable and sessionable while still providing good flavors and smoothness.

I am rerating this since I am not sure what I was smoking when I intially reviewed it(gave it a 3.4). This is a class pils.
Pour a dilluted pale golden with a frothy, decently retained white head.
Big time hoppy and bizarre nose. Getting notes of creole spices (jambalaya), as well as spicy marinara sauce. Nothing off-puting...just eccentric pleasantries.
Taste begins like caramel flavored saltine cracker. Lightly sweet and very dry. Some likeably odd sun-dried tomato hints. Hops enter next with a variety of spices and grasses. Turns hay-like and slighly musty (again, from the hops). Sweetness creeps in and adds some (lightly) vanilla-flavored communion waffers. Dry at the finish.
Light-medium bodied. Low carbonation for the style, but it doesn't matter.
Just a classic, well-hopped pilsner with some unique traits.
I am somewhat surprised to admit that this is one of New Glarus' best offerings (and maybe their best "regular" year-round product).

Almost hazy golden lemon body with a small, gauzy, off-white head. Honey and biscuit malt with peppery, spicy, Saaz-y hops. Nice. A flash of noble hop bitterness gives quickly gives way to honey-dipped biscuit malt and cookie dough. Spicy, herbal bitter hops in the finish. Moderate body with a smooth, soft feel. An excellent German-style pilsener.

2010 Cadillac SRX Recalls
The transmission shift cable may have been improperly installed and could come out of its supporting bracket on the transmission. If this were to occur, the transmission may not go into gear properly, which could result in unexpected vehicle motion, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect the shift cable for proper routing and that it is properly seated in the transmission cable bracket. The General Motors recall number is 11348.
Premium fuel is recommended for these vehicles, use of lower octane fuel can result in engine ping. Continued vehicle operation with engine ping present can result in engine damage. The vehicle could be disabled, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will reprogram the powertrain control module with updated software to correct this concern. This recall is expected to begin by June 11, 2010, The General Motors recall number is 10093.
2010 Cadillac SRX Reviews

I've had none of the problems noted in previous reviews. Everything is fine with my SRX except the Michelin tires, they dry roted with 48,000 miles......
I love my Caddy SRX 2010 and will buy another one in the future. I went on this website to find answer to replacing E Vap Vent Valve which I have been advised to do because computer shows it is needed. Will not pass emission test without fixing the problem. A/C compressor also needed attention under warrenty in 2013. This car handles like a sports car and in turns is great. Hugs the road. ...

Cant shakedown the Target Tree.
that's at my mall I saw it on Sunday
Upside down Christmas tree is an European practice from the late 19th and early 20th Century. So maybe we're doing it wrong.

Executive Summary
Each division has a manager who is informed of his or her department's operating conditions but not those of the other. Both managers would like to maximize profits, but each values his or her own division's profits more than those of the other. In other words, both managers are biased toward their own division. Both division managers report to a superior (vertical communication), who, after receiving their reports, makes decisions for both departments to try to maximize the profits of the firm as a whole.

Deputies said they responded to a home for a domestic disturbance where a woman bit a deputy and said she had AIDS.
According to a Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office report, deputies were called to a home on Cotton Top Court in Spartanburg on Sunday night for a disturbance.
Deputies said they found a group of people gathered on a balcony and they were screaming, including one woman who cursed at one of the deputies.
The report said the woman, Denean Robbs, 32, of Spartanburg, was intoxicated and confrontational. The report said a deputy asked to talk to her inside, and she slammed the door on him, striking him in the head.
The deputy tried to place her under arrest, but she refused, lying on the floor on top of her hands, according to the report.
Another deputy came in to assist in the arrest, having to physically remove her from the residence while she continued to resist and yell at them, according to the report.
While in the patrol car, she tried to kick the window out, kick a deputy in the face, and tried to bite the other deputy multiple times, according to the report. She eventually bit the deputy and said, "I have AIDS and now so do you."
Robbs was arrested and taken to Spartanburg County Detention Center where she is being held. She was charged with resisting arrest and public disorderly conduct.

Mesa Improves Support For OpenBSD
Published on 18 July 2013 08:26 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
1 Comment
While the popular kernel DRM drivers are still being ported to OpenBSD, support for the OpenBSD operating system within Mesa is being improved.
In recent days there have been a number of Mesa commits for improving the OpenBSD (and FreeBSD) support for the user-space Mesa/Gallium3D drivers for these BSD operating systems.
Over the night, there were five more Mesa commits that improve OpenBSD support, including proper OpenBSD support within Mesa's configure.ac file. The BSD activity can be found via
this CGit query
The improved OpenBSD Mesa support comes months after
they deemed their Intel DRM/KMS driver ready
and also made
adjustments to the Intel X.Org driver
. The DRM/KMS drivers for Radeon and Nouveau on OpenBSD aren't as far along as the Intel support.
Outside of OpenBSD, there's ongoing
improved Mesa FreeBSD support
as part of the ongoing Radeon DRM porting going on for that BSD platform.

Financial system, innovation and regional development: a study on the relationship between liquidity preference and innovation in Brazil
AbstractThis paper discusses and assesses the features of the Brazilian Financial System, as well as the impacts of Liquidity Preference on Credit and Regional Development in Brazil. Precisely, we test the relationship between credit and development, and the role of banks in regional development. We estimate a panel across states in Brazil in order to test the impact of liquidity preference and other financial variables on Brazilian states credit level. We have also tested the relationship between liquidity preference and other financial variables across states and the number of patents, aiming at testing the importance of technology and innovation on regional development by means of bank system. Conclusions confirm both hypotheses.

How One Community Is Changing Its Food Landscape, Block by Block, with Wholesome Wave
This three-part series on food deserts is brought to you by GOOD with the support of Naked Juice
The Woodlawn section of Chicago's South Side is not technically one of the city's 23 neighborhoods designated as a food desert. However, those who live in the neighborhood, where more than 30 percent of households live below the poverty level, will tell you a different story: the grocery stores that are within walking distance do not have fresh fruits and vegetables.The few that do may not be affordable, and it's just as difficult to get healthy produce as it is in South Side neighborhoods, which are officially designated food deserts by the USDA. "My husband and I had been living in the neighborhood for 20 years, and we couldn't find any stores that carried fresh produce to shop at," says Connie Spreen, executive director of Experimental Station, a cultural community group in the neighborhood.
The dearth of quality produce and a lack of knowledge on healthy eating in the community led Spreen to open the 61st Street Farmers Market in 2008 to bring organic, sustainably-produced foods into the neighborhood through Experimental Station. But the market was met with some skepticism. "I was asked by reporters, 'How do you reconcile selling organic produce at a high price tag and wanting to serve the low-income community?' I justified it on educational grounds—that we were supplementing it with chef demos, composting education, in-school programming, farm visits—but we were struggling with the moral dilemma that first year," says Spreen.
The answer? A helping hand from Wholesome Wave, a nonprofit which aims to improve affordability and access to fresh, locally-grown fruits and vegetables in underserved communities. Founded by chef Michel Nischan, former USDA Undersecretary of Agriculture Gus Schumacher, and the late food writer and historian Michael Batterberry, Wholesome Wave helps organizations such as the 61st Street Farmers Market navigate the complex food system and facilitate change where it's needed the most. Experimental Station and Wholesome Wave connected in September 2009, and within two weeks, the 61st Street Farmers Market had implemented Wholesome Wave's Double Value Coupon Program (DVCP), which matches the value of benefits from the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) and Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP), when used toward the purchase of fresh fruits and vegetables.
"We saw the impact of the program immediately," Spreen says. "People come up to us all the time and say, 'This is a lifesaver for me.'" Adds Nischan, "This program demonstrates that if we address affordability, people in underserved communities want—and do—feed their families better food." An indication of its success may be that the program was implemented at farmers markets throughout Chicago: since the launch of DVCP at the 61st Street Farmers Market, Experimental Station has shepherded the acceptance of LINK Cards (the state's food assistance program), at 41 other farmers markets in the city so that people may use the cards for DVCP.
In addition to the DVCP, which is currently in 26 states, Wholesome Wave oversees two other programs. For the Fruits and Vegetables Prescription Program (FVRx), a doctor writes a "prescription" for a person at risk of diet related diseases such as diabetes to redeem for locally grown produce valued at $1 per day, per family member; the participants redeem the prescription at participating farmers markets at least every two weeks for 4 to 6 months. In the past two years, the results from the studies, although not controlled, have been significant, with 38.1 percent of participants dropping BMI in 2011, and 37.8 percent of child participants decreasing BMI in 2012. "It's pretty remarkable that we had two years in a row with almost identical drops in BMI in populations that were expected to raise BMI. We can make a direct correlation between increased consumption of fruits and vegetables and health," says Nischan.
The third program, Healthy Food Commerce Investments, aims to channel funding to health-minded, mission-driven businesses and organizations that need it the most. "The food system right now is robotized and the goal of highly processed food companies is to return profit for their shareholders by keeping labor costs as low as possible," explains Nischan. "What we would like to see is money and tax dollars that are already in the system going to smaller businesses that could actually get healthier foods into corner stores, grade-school cafeterias, and hospitals, to those who are really changing the food system." A good example of an HFCI project is Red's Best in Boston, which distributes seafood to five farmers markets in the city at a price that gives the fishermen a fair wage. It's all part of Wholesome Wave's mission of targeting existing monies so "that they have greater effects," says Nischan.
And demonstrably so: The farmers markets in Illinois, including the 61st Street Farmers Market in the Woodlawn section of Chicago, have seen marked increase in sales due to the DVCP and LINK Up programs. In 2012, the markets generated $155,604 in SNAP and $71,396 in DVCP sales, totaling $227,000 spent on locally grown farm fresh foods. "LINK Up Illinois markets generate the great majority of farmers markets in our state," explains Spreen.
In its fifth year, the 61st Street Farmers Market is going strong, but other challenges lie ahead for Spreen, such as expanding the LINK Up Illinois program and working with Wholesome Wave to figure out next steps. She is exhausted but undeterred. "I've realized that with the particular traits I have, I can do quite a bit to change the way things work in my world. Helping my neighbors, my fellow-Chicagoans and Illinoisans gain access to affordable, healthy food is something I can do," she says.
This is the third of three in a series on food deserts. Take a look at the first and second.
