It's no secret I'm a fan of Happy Hour. Yes, I've been known to utter the phrase "It's 5 o'clock somewhere!" more than once at a time earlier than 5pm.
I didn't want to let being a Mom stop me from that fun experience, and I wanted to include my kids in an appropriate way.
Family Happy Hour was born.
Saturday afternoon, in the midst of our late Summer heat wave here in Los Angeles, I decided we all needed a cool drink, and it was Hansens Natural Sodas to the rescue.
I went with something new and also something tried and true. For the adults in the group I wanted to make something with Hansens Pomegranate soda, and naturally I thought of Vodka. I simply filled a glass with ice, added a shot of Stoli and filled it with Pomegranate. Voila! The Pom-echnaya was born! Cool and refreshing!
I also thought we needed to have a Pimm's Cup, a somewhat eccentric but delicious and refreshing cocktail. Into a glass filled with ice, add one shot of Pimm's and 2 shots of Hansens Ginger Ale. Then garnish with lime and orange slices, a cucumber stalk and a sprig of mint. Sounds crazy, but it's delish!
I'm really a Mojito gal at heart and I thought it would be great to try making one with my old favorite flavor from back in the day, Mandarin Lime. Simply add fresh lime juice, rum and ice to a glass, fill with Hansens Mandarin Lime soda and garnish with fresh mint. The soda takes the place of both the sugar syrup and club soda in a traditional Mojito recipe. Easy and delicious!
Since this was a family affair, I whipped out the vanilla ice cream and Hansens Creamy Root Beer and made the kids some terrific Root Beer Floats, by simply scooping ice cream into a glass and filling with root beer.* The kids really enjoyed the treat, which may indeed have spoiled their dinner. But hey, it's a heat wave after all.
And we were all happier afterwards.
To celebrate the delicious beverages I made with Hansens Natural Soda and because I may or may not have had one too many, I'm giving away a Hansens Natural Soda prize package. To enter, simply leave a comment letting me know which Hansens Natural Soda flavor is your favorite. The winner will be chosen at random on Tuesday, September 25th at 12 Noon PST. Must be US resident or have US postal address to win. No international shipping, sorry. Good luck!
* The Root Beer Floats were 100% non-alcoholic. It needed to be said.
**UPDATE: The contest is over and the winner has been notified. Thank you!**

Id say we need an aircraft with the interoperability and surveillance capabilities which equal the yanks the E-2 is unsurpassable.(thanks for the link there jonas)
Agreed the latest Hawkeye is at the top of its game,fact is that we probably could not afford it as its cost is eye watering.
Perhaps a few older ex US models would be within our budget,and would no doubt do us very nicely. Here's hoping.
The fact is the question asked of Peter Luff was in regards to a replacement for the Nimrod MRA4 which was scrapped leaving us with no long range maritime patrol capability. This is not a job Hawkeye is designed for or can do.
The stupidy of it is that only a few months after MRA4 was scrapped with indecent haste,a committee was set up in the MOD headed by the RN to look into the replacement for it. It is obvious that they realised what a horrendous mistake they had made.
What has now transpired is that instead of the duty SSBN being able to leave Faslane,with the knowledge gleaned by Nimrod as to the whereabouts of any Russian SSN waiting to trail her,they now sail blind relying on their own sensors to pick up these vessels.
The rumour since MRA4 was scrapped is that the US P8 Poseidon is favourite,at a reported cost of £1bn for 5 aircraft.
Whether this comes to fruition in the current economic climate is anyones guess.
I was having the "Oil wars" conversation with someone the other day. I actually think that we should be fighting for oil. Lets face it, if we weren't, like some of our "allies" won't, we'd be paying $5000 per barrel and inflation, our economy and pretty much everything else which we rely on would be in a flat spin to its demise. It strikes me as naive to think we won't fight to protect our interests. Until something better comes along, we have to protect our oil interests. Otherwise, all those environmentalists and anti-war protesters couldn't drive to their next protests!!
Another comment I have heard is "Why us?" (meaning the UK / US alliance)". Why should Britain continue to be a world Policeman and "Punching above our weight". Again, it is in our interest to keep a place at the top table, with the big boys and their big, nuclear weapons. If we don't then someone else dictates our lives to us. We have a liberal democracy, and if we are in a position to influence the world to the greater good, then we should damned well do so. Otherwise Argentina would be imposing its will upon those in the Falklands, and Iran would be running amok.
The link below is a paper from the USN describing in very precise detail how the UK took the lead in modern carrier design. It is very complimentary towards RN/UK inovation at the time and well worth a read.
Very interesting read for me as my father served aboard HMS WARRIOR in the 1950s, which had been refitted with the angled deck. My uncle served on HMS ARK ROYAL which was the first RN ship built with an angled flight deck. He was also very familiar with the mirror deck landing aid.
Also interesting as the subjects of this thread will now be fitted with angled decks and a 21st century version of the catapults. I am not exactly clear on what the landing aid system will look like but it is obviously an improvement on the old mirror system.
So will we see the final sponson fit for SB03 next week? That will be a milestone of sorts as it marks the completion of the heavy lifting work for Assembly Cycle A.
i would guess the final lift depends on the weather.... if the snow that's hitting us atm hits up there, then i can see them having to hold off.....
[QUOTE=SDL;6013204]i would guess the final lift depends on the weather.... if the snow that's hitting us atm hits up there, then i can see them having to hold off.....[/QUOTE
Believe it or not there is no snow here, I think it missed eastern Scotland altogether, however they might have held off just in case.
Im hoping for next week at some point, I'm off Monday/Tuesday so will be keeping tabs.
would sugest some of you need to look at MoD's helecopter plans for Merlin AEW!
I missed this one in last weeks Parliamentary sessions,very interesting:-
Lord West of Spithead (Labour)
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether there are plans to ensure future refitting and maintenance work on the new aircraft carriers can be conducted in English, Welsh and Northern Irish yards, and to ensure that the Valiant Jetty can easily be moved to Devonport or a similar deep water port such as Milford Haven.
Lord Astor of Hever (Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, Defence; Conservative)
As part of work to develop a support solution for the Queen Elizabeth class carriers, a number of locations are currently being assessed. We expect an initial decision to be taken around the middle of this decade.
The Ministry of Defence has not undertaken any work on how easy it would be to relocate the Valiant Jetty.

Things have been back and forth in the first half of Game 1 between the Indiana Pacers and Atlanta Hawks with the two teams ending up knotted at 50-50 at the break. The Pacers stormed out to a quick lead, but the fears of the Hawks cropped up on a 16-2 run that put Atlanta up nine with Jeff Teague attacking and Atlanta's three point shooters finding looks. The Hawks led by six after the first quarter thanks to nine second chance points.
The Hawks thrived on long offensive rebounds and 50/50 balls, but Indiana were able to jump ahead thanks to Lance Stephenson and Paul George, but the Hawks closed the half on a 7-1 run to tie the game at 50-50 when a George turnover led to a Kyle Korver put back. George leads all scorers with 14 points, Korver has 12 to lead the Hawks with six three point attempts as part of 18 first half three point attempts by the Hawks.

Plans to save Plymouth City Airport revealed
Plans have been put forward to Plymouth City Council by a group that wants to see the city connected to the world within a decade.
The Viable company wants to buy the freehold of the former airport site and intends to have flights to Britain and western Europe within two years.
But site leaseholder Sutton Harbour Holdings, which closed the airport last year, has also revealed its own "masterplan" to build on the site.

By Jennifer Emert - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Georgia's budget woes are leading the state to use money that should go to driver's ed for other Georgia programs.
Money collected from a fee tacked onto traffic tickets is supposed to go toward grants for driver's ed classes in Georgia high schools, but less than a quarter of the revenue is making it there.
That means more parents are forced to pay for online driver's ed instruction or a class at a college because students need the class to get a license. Safe Communities coordinators say the classes make a difference.
"Since mandated traffic education in 2006 we have seen teen crash and fatality numbers drop statewide so drivers education is working we've just got to get more driver's ed. into the public high schools," said Michelle DeMott of Albany Safe Communities.
Just 150 of Georgia's 400 high schools offer driver's education classes. Dougherty County Schools and many others in southwest Georgia do not offer driver's ed.

Canadian pop star Justin Bieber has been arrested twice in a week, most recently in Toronto, on charges of assaulting a limo driver. He also faces charges for driving drunk and resisting arrest during an illegal drag race in Florida.
Though he is in Canada at the moment, his misbehavior has led many to wonder whether the U.S. government will allow the law-breaking immigrant to come back into our country. A petition to the White House demanding that Bieber be deported has gained more than 100,000 signatures, enough to require an official response from the Obama Administration.

@ January 18, 2011 5:07 PM in Spitting Air Ventsbut it just seems like it's a vent closing too late. I've got some Gorton's on order so I'll be able to swap it out and see.
It's only 1 of 2
@ January 18, 2011 4:57 PM in Spitting Air VentsHi Charlie,
The waterline isn't perfectly steady, and it definitely bounces up and down when I do the weekly blowdown.
The vents are at the drop, but about 1 foot above it and then at a right angle. It's a very short menora. There are two Hoffman's there, and only one has the problem and like the original poster, not every time.
Similar situation
@ January 18, 2011 4:15 PM in Spitting Air VentsI'm not sure if this helps, but I'm having a similar problem, although with Hoffman 75s. Mine were installed less than a year ago and one does occasionally let out water. I've found that if I catch it when it's just starting, a tap with a mallet stops it. I did the boil in vinegar route, which solved the problem for about a week, maybe 10 days. My sight glass shows no surging, so if we're having the same problem, it's caused by something else. Of course, you should take care of the surging.
long shot
@ January 12, 2011 11:44 AM in Removing Steam RadiatorOne of my radiators once made a rattling noise. It turned out to be a piece of the valve had broken off inside the housing. Once I removed the broken piece (I think there's a photograph of it on the wall somewhere), no more rattling. I think it would be easier to check for that than to move the radiator. BUT my radiator was in my own house where I could turn off the boiler while I took apart the valve. The last thing you want is to have the boiler turn on while the valve is open. Given an unhelpful landlord, perhaps that's not possible. Have you tried using a stethoscope to isolate the source of the problem? I used a mechanic's version on mine. Even a rod of some kind might help.
Personally, I would be worried about disconnecting a radiator on a system over which I have no control. What are you going to do if the valve doesn't work and the boiler fires up?
cycling due to pressure
@ January 10, 2011 8:22 AM in Is there an "Ideal" Steam Heat Cycle duration?Your system as a device (probably a pressuretrol, but possibly a vaporstat) that will shut off the boiler if it reaches a preset pressure. It won't turn it on again until the pressure is below a certain threshold. A boiler can reach the pressure limit before satisfying the thermostat. It will therefore turn on again once the pressure has gone down sufficiently. This is called cycling on pressure.
Why 15# relief valve
@ December 16, 2010 10:24 PM in Pressure too HighAt first I thought the 30# gauge was a hold over from the olde days, but according to TLAOSH, residential steam went from 60 psi to 2 psi pretty quickly. I guess folks realized that not blowing up was good for business (see pp. 15-16).
So I figure that either the 30# is related to the 15# and we just need to know why it's 15#, or there's something about 30# gauges that makes them cheaper or more durable than 25# gauges, or it's a historical accident. Maybe some old timer just used an auto tire pressure gauge and that's what started it, but I'm pretty sure the old cars ran at 50-60psi tire pressure.
Sorry. I eliminated a possibility or two but don't have an answer.
It's was funny
@ December 15, 2010 8:10 PM in pressure gaugebut as Jamie pointed out above, the 30psi gauge is required by code.
What did you use on the threads? It looks yellowish.
My mistake, Jamie
@ December 15, 2010 7:35 PM in What happens below the cut-in pressure?I was trying to see if I understood you (I didn't). Sorry that I confused matters, but it looks like it led to the right answer.
Aaah, I think I get it.
@ December 15, 2010 7:34 PM in What happens below the cut-in pressure?Thanks, Rod. I think I get it now. Just to be sure, here's what I think happens. If the pressuretrol had only one setting (cut off), then it would shut off the burner at say 1 psi (if the thermostat were still calling for heat and the LWCO said it was ok). But only seconds later, the pressure would drop below that cut off point and so the burner would go back on. The differential is what tells the boiler to wait a bit before starting the burner back up (and assuming the thermostat is still calling for heat, and LWCO says it's ok). Is that right?
Does this mean
@ December 15, 2010 12:37 PM in What happens below the cut-in pressure?that the cut-in pressure is what starts the cycle clock?
That's what I thought
@ December 15, 2010 12:11 PM in What happens below the cut-in pressure?But then why mess with the two adjustments if there's really only one thing to adjust? In other words, why doesn't the pressutrol have one setting and it's the cut-out?
What happens below the cut-in pressure?
@ December 15, 2010 11:52 AM in What happens below the cut-in pressure?Maybe it's the frigid temps (we just made it to 8°F) but just realized that I don't know what the pressutrol is doing when the pressure is below the cut in.
Just to be sure I'm using the right terms: on an additive pressutrol, the cut-out pressure is the sum of the cut-in plus the differential. The cut-in is set on the outside; the differential requires removing the cover of the pressutrol. The pressutrol turns off the burner when the cut-out pressure is reached. When the pressure is between the cut-in and cut-out pressures, it lets the burner fire if the thermostat calls for heat. What does it do when the pressure is below the cut-in?
You're welcome!
@ December 13, 2010 9:44 PM in Steam return leakI think you'd need to measure the water temp and not the pipe, since the pipe acts as a heat sink.
I don't know if it's true, but I've read in some plumbing forums about people ruining PVC drain pipes by pouring boiling water down them to clear away a clog. I can't believe it's true since lots of folks drain pasta in their sinks. But it is something to think about since a PVC return would be experiencing that kind of use up maybe as much as 8 hours/day on the coldest days.
TLAOSH p. 142
@ December 13, 2010 8:38 PM in Steam return leakI was curious, so I looked up what Dan says about traps. I might have misunderstood him, but on p. 142 of TLAOSH, it sounds to me like traps open around 180-200°, still too hot for PVC. And of course if a trap ever fails open, you'd have quite a PVC melted mess on your hands.
I read that
@ December 13, 2010 8:19 PM in Steam return leakI did read your post. I have a two pipe system myself. The traps on each radiator block the steam until it condenses. It's given up its latent heat to the room, but it can still be close to 212. It's not going to be under 140. But this is an empirical question that's easily solved. Why don't you measure the temp?
don't think so
@ December 13, 2010 7:14 PM in Steam return leakI'm not a pro, but I believe the maximum service temp for PVC is 140°F. In theory at least, the water in the returns is close to 212°F, so I'm thinking this won't work.
or a silent helper
@ December 13, 2010 4:46 PM in Water level keeps droppingAny chance someone else touches the boiler? Someone could be doing the weekly LWCO blowdowns.
I'm guessing it's more likely to be a leak. As someone else recently posted, it's important to keep in mind that the signs of a steam leak often differ from those of a water leak. Look for white powdery residue.
Also, I recently had a main vent get stuck open. That caused the boiler to lose water. The smell of the steamed underflooring was my first clue. You might want to hang out in the boiler room next time yours cycles on.
how's this?
@ December 12, 2010 10:47 AM in steam heating enthusiasts christmas list.I've circled the two nuts in yellow. With the boiler cool, you would first close the valves, then remove the two vertical rods that protect the glass (just push them up and out). Then loosen the nuts and remove the tube. Be careful as the tube might be hot and the ends might be sharp.
At least on mine
@ December 12, 2010 9:25 AM in steam heating enthusiasts christmas list.You just close the knobs, then loosen the brass nuts at both ends of the glass, and then gently remove the tube. Yours might be different. Maybe someone else can help.
looks like a wing nut
@ December 12, 2010 9:10 AM in steam heating enthusiasts christmas list.I'm not sure it's worth messing with, but at the bottom on the brass fitting should be what looks like a wing nut. It's hollow in the center, where the water will come out (in theory) if you loosen it.
Be sure to wait until the boiler has cooled. The brass and glass can get surprisingly hot.
I figured now was a bad time
@ December 11, 2010 5:29 PM in group consultingThanks, Steamhead. February sounds perfect. I'll see if I can find out who might be interested.
close the knobs
@ December 11, 2010 5:27 PM in steam heating enthusiasts christmas list.Your sight glass should have knobs above and below it. Shut them. There's probably a petcock on the bottom. If you're lucky, you can open it and drain the little bit of water that's in the sight glass. If you're like me, you'll put a bucket underneath to keep the floor dry.

Miss. Judge Sends Lawyer to Jail for Refusing to Recite the Pledge
Posted Oct 7, 2010 6:31 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
A Mississippi lawyer sent to jail for refusing to recite the Pledge of Allegiance has no hard feelings against the judge who sent him there.
Danny Lampley spent almost five hours in the Lee County jail Wednesday because he stood for a courtroom Pledge of Allegiance, but refused to say the words, according to WTVA.com, NEMS360.com and the Associated Press.
Court documents say Lampley refused to stand and say the pledge. Lampley told WTVA that stood with his hands by his side as others recited the pledge and that the judge, Chancellor Talmadge Littlejohn, then asked Lampley to individually recite the pledge. Lampley refused, and the judge held him in contempt.
Lampley said in the WTVA interview that he doesn't hold a grudge. "Judge Littlejohn is very sincere. We have different world views, different viewpoints," Lampley said. "What I am afraid is, ... is he is resolved as I am resolved. I'd rather talk to him privately because I like him."
Lampley said the incident wasn't his first run-in with a judge over the pledge. In June he was asked to leave a courtroom in Corinth for a similar refusal.

13-17 November 1996 - Rome, Italy
|May 1996
Report of the
Regional NGO Consultation for Europe on the World Food Summit
Tel Aviv, Israel, 28-29 April 1996
1. The Regional NGO Consultation for Europe on the World Food Summit was held in Tel Aviv, Israel, on 28-29 April 1996 within the framework of the preparatory process for the World Food Summit. The Consultation, organized and facilitated by the World Food Summit Secretariat, was attended by 17 participants who participated on behalf of as many as 1,200 NGOs. The programme of the Consultation is attached as Appendix I. The list of participants is attached as Appendix 2.
2. The Consultation had before it two main documents - ERC/96/3 "Towards Universal Food Security: Draft of a Policy Statement and Plan of Action" and ERC/96/4 "World Food Summit: Food Security Situation and Issues in Europe". The Consultation also heard a presentation on "Rural Women and Food Security in Europe: Current Status and Perspectives", given by the FAO Women in Development Regional Officer for Europe.
3. During the afternoon of the first day of the Consultation, the participants designated Mr. Alistair Smith (Farmers' Link) as their Rapporteur. It was agreed that the Rapporteur, in consultation with several other participants, would prepare a draft statement synthesizing the group's views regarding the World Food Summit, in particular document ERC/96/3. The Consultation reconvened the following evening and reached agreement on a final text to be presented the following day to the 20th FAO Regional Conference for Europe (Tel Aviv, Israel, 29 April - 3 May 1996). The full text of the statement follows:
Towards the World Food Summit, Rome, November 1996
Tel Aviv, Israel, Tuesday 30th April, 1996
Twenty-two years after the World Food Conference, intolerable levels of hunger, malnutrition and food insecurity still persist.
4. Tens of thousands of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) from across the spectrum of civil society are already committed in our practical actions and programmes to the goals of food security for all and sustainable development. NGOs represented here reaffirm our strong commitment to continue working with partners at the local, national, regional and international level.
5. We see food security for each and every citizen of every country of Europe as indivisible from the urgent need to achieve sustainable food security in other continents where food poverty is a daily reality for hundreds of millions. Governments and all relevant international institutions must now commit themselves to the elimination of hunger and poverty, as was also recommended at the 40th Session of the UN Commission on Women in New York last month.
6. For the first time, NGOs are invited to participate fully in taking practical action towards global food security. We are taking this invitation very seriously.
7. The process of broad-based consultation which is currently under way is seeking to determine the exact role of NGOs in the process leading to this World Food Summit. NGOs are not just the spice added to the meal, nor the icing on the cake!
8. NGOs, as an essential component of civil society, are prepared to contribute fully to local and global food security in the context of participatory, democratic and sustainable agrarian development. For this purpose, NGOs expect governments to establish and enhance an enabling environment in which we could participate in policy design, planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation on a meaningful basis with governments and international institutions.
At the local and national level, we will use all available resources and media to raise the awareness of citizens of our countries about the Summit itself and all the urgent issues at stake.
At regional level, NGOs from across the continent will cooperate closely to achieve balanced European food security. If we seek to maintain Europe's crucial contribution to world food security, it is quite simply unsustainable that so many countries and socio-economic groups of the continent have recently fallen into food insecurity. At present, we have a situation in which part of the continent is using its natural resources unsustainably, whilst other parts are losing their food self-reliance.
At inter-continental level, NGOs will step up their cooperation with food producers, rural communities and other organisations of civil society, particularly in the Low Income Food Deficit Countries (LIFDCs). We are prepared to take a major role in the channelling of resources targeted at achieving sustainable food security in those countries where the need is greatest.
At all levels, we will use our existing networks, NGO alliances and lobbying channels to maximise the impact of the Summit and its commitments.
9. In the Draft of a Policy Statement and Plan of Action Towards Universal Food Security, we feel that insufficient emphasis has been placed on the following areas of action:
* the macroeconomic policy framework: inadequate commitment by governments to ensure social safety nets in the process of economic adjustment, as endorsed by governments participating in the World Summit on Social Development inCopenhagen (1995), and followed up by the 20:20 initiative which relates to food security and human nutrition; we insist, as expressed in the Quebec Declaration on Food Security (1995), that market forces alone are no guarantee of food security, indeed, they can be directly harmful;
* education, training and action-research: awareness of food security issues must be raised at all levels; properly funded programmes of participatory education and training are urgently required within LIFDCs, in Europe and jointly between European institutions and NGOs on the ground; in Europe, public and private funding needs to be directed into farm-based research into lower-input production systems; the people concerned by such research must be the actors in these programmes of education and action-research;
* the central role of rural women both in Europe and the rest of the world: rural women are the primary managers of the world's resources, and are responsible for over half the world's food production; but the reality is that the majority of the world's poor are rural women, who have, time and again, proved that when resources are targeted directly to them, they can design innovative strategies to overcome food insecurity (see attachment);
* the role of food reserves: we NGOs propose that FAO urgently commission a technical paper, in time for the September Council of World Food Security, including a rigorous study of food reserves and 'intervention' stocks. We need to know who holds them, who manages them, which producers have access to them and therefore what role will they play in future continental and global food security? In particular, we denounce the dispossession, at the lowest prices, of the rights of small farmers to obtain a fair return for their harvests. Any monopoly on basic food reserves by States or private owners can be perverse.
* sustainable water use: there is a need to enhance the efficiency of water use and increase the degree of sustainability of agricultural production, the NGOs stress the urgent need for rehabilitation and modernisation of many existing irrigation and drainage projects. The relevant policies should include training and re-training of farmers.
* environmental damage and ecological production: there is an urgent need to draw up an agro-ecological map of Europe which details areas of partial or total environmental contamination and degradation; there is also an urgent need to spread technologies of ecological food production across the continent, which could be partially met by the adoption of organic production and processing standards such as already exist in the European Union;
* refugee and migrant programmes: Refugees and migrants should be fully involved in the planning and implementation of programmes from which they will benefit so that the positive contribution they make in local communities can be developed and expanded. Food Aid programmes need to incorporate age and gender concerns.
* the links between nutrition and health: NGOs, in collaboration with governments and international agencies, are prepared to contribute to detailed surveys in Europe to document the complex, but crucial links between balanced nutrition and human health, and the benefits resulting for the economy and future generations; foodsafety and food quality are vital issues which require much greater attention;
* on-farm processing and cooperative marketing: the survival of a diverse coverage of millions of family farms depends to a significant degree on the 'reclaiming' of processing capacity from the large-scale food industries into the hands of small-and medium-scale producers across the continent; their efforts will be enhanced by proper attention and resources being given to cooperation between farmers and other landworkers;
10. Finally, we NGOs wish to underline the legal basis for the basic human right to food, as it already exists within international agreements, such as: Article XI of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (1966), Article VIII of the Declaration on the Right to Development (1986) and the ILO Conventions and Standards, which offer the basis for the assertion of this right. The hungry and impoverished of the world are demanding this right. We have the 'luxury' of being able to act. So, to quote a famous ex-Minister of Agriculture of the world's largest country: "if not us, then who? if not now, then when?"
Based on the findings of the paper "Farm Women, Adjustment and Sustainable Agro-food Systems in Eastern and Western Europe", the Consultation of the NGOs underlines that women historically play an irreplaceable role in promoting food security on the household and national level in Europe. They further present a vital and active force in the development of a multitude of strategies which make farming and rural life viable and sustainable including development of alternative income-generating activities such as agro-tourism, food processing and production of local quality products.
Despite this, farm women are still classified as "unpaid family workers", farmers are seen as men while farm women are seen as "farmers' wives". In short, women's importance to agro-food systems is generally underestimated.
Therefore, the Consultation of NGOs is strongly supporting findings of the above-mentioned paper and proposing to the Conference to take the following additions into consideration.
Finally, we propose that these additions should be integrated into a draft plan of action for universal food security.

I'm in my parents…and its stressing me out. Cant put my finger on why but I am. When Vonnies there as well its stressing her out as well…abouthe only person that doesnt seem to be worried or confused by it all is Finn and I think thats purely because he's used to going between his mum and dad's.
Got my PC from the flat the other day as I'm fed up using my Dad's PC. It's to damn slow despite having a faster CPU. The slow down can't just be the 256Mb…it was never this bad when my brother first got it. The only problem I've got now is that the monitor I'm using is the old one I got from my work when they gave me a PC. After 5 minutes of it warming up the screen goes to fuzzy to be able to read anything on the screen so apologies to anyone thats been trying to talk to me on MSN…it's been impossible to read.
Got it set up well enough to be able to watch DVD's on it though so myself and Finn watched The Incredibles on it last night and I managed to watch an episode of CSI before dropping off.

WAKEFIELD–The Exeter/West Greenwich fastpitch softball team took all it could handle from a South Kingstown team still searching for its first win of the season on Monday while hanging on for a 10-6 victory in an exciting game at Broad Rock Playfields.
The Scarlet Knights came into Monday night's contest with a 5-4 record in Division II-South while SK came in 0-10 but a common viewer could have mistaken the game as a clash between top-tier contenders.
Freshman Alexandrea Goodness pitched a complete game for SK, picking up a couple Ks and maneuvering herself out of precarious situations against the middle of EWG's powerful lineup. Sophomore Danielle David opposed her for EWG, collecting four strikeouts and allowing four runs before being replaced by fellow sophomore Bridges in the fourth.
WEST GREENWICH — North Kingstown track coach Charlie Breagy loves the word "history" when it comes to his record breaking outdoor team, and after this weekend, he gets to say it a lot. The Skipper boys snatched the Schomp Invitational team title over rivals La Salle and Hendriken on Saturday at Exeter/West Greenwich High School, making it the first time in North history that a boys' team has won this event.
"Track is booming at NK," Breagy said during a phone interview on Monday. "These are our highest rankings ever; it's a great confidence booster for the team."
La Salle junior Nick Ross of East Greenwich (East Greenwich High) finished second in the 1,500 meter run at last weekend's Atlantic-10 Outdoor Track Championships in Amherst, Mass. His time was 3:52.89. He also the third leg on the 4x800 relay which finished first in a time of 7:36.99. It was the fifth straight time that the 4x800 came away a winner in the A-10 meet.
Ross and his teammates return to action at the Swarthmore Last Chance meet Monday in Swarthmore, Pa.
EAST GREENWICH -- There's another undefeated team ruling the court at East Greenwich High School.
But this time, it isn't involving basketball.
The boys volleyball team (Division II-South) is sitting atop the division at 12-0 and doesn't plan to stop there.
"[Our success] is based on experience," said EG coach Theresa Garno. "I have a lot of kids with experience, four seniors who have all played varsity, my setter [junior Stanley Chan] is returning, my libero [senior Paul Anderson] is returning. I have two really solid middles, [senior captain John Condon and senior Sam McLimans], which is great because we are able to predicate our offense on our middle which is what we do."
PAWTUCKET — If student track athletes in the Chariho district need some inspiration, they need look no further than the assistant coach of the girls' varsity team. Katie Moulton, of Providence, made perfect use of a beautiful Sunday morning this past weekend by winning as the first female finisher in the half marathon of the 2014 Navigant Credit Union Running Festival. Moulton, 31, not only placed first for the women, but fifth overall out of 529 participants in the half marathon. With an average mile pace of 6:21, Moulton competed the race in 1:21:20, roughly nine minutes after her husband, Patrick, who came in first for the men and in the event overall. Patrick Moulton's final time was 1:12:21 with an average mile pace of 5:31.
NARRAGANSETT — It wasn't Chariho's day at the Point Judith Country Club golf course on Tuesday. The Chargers went into the rescheduled double dual with Coventry and Narragansett with some black clouds looming overhead, both literal and figurative. Not only was there a little rain to accompany some rather strong winds, but the Chariho golf team was forced to play despite the absence of a key member, their number two player.
Senior Sam Martel, ranked second for the Chargers, sustained a knee injury worthy of a hospital visit earlier that afternoon and was unable to play as they had planned. In for Martel with little warning was freshman Jake Berube who played sixth for the team on Tuesday.
WEST WARWICK — For the last three seasons West Warwick softball coach Brian Palazzo was told Cara Genest was going to come out and play for the team, but every time tryouts started Palazzo was disappointed to find out the multi-sport athlete wasn't there.
So, when Palazzo heard Genest, who ran track last season after playing AAU basketball as a freshman and sophomore, was going to play in her senior season, he was skeptical.
NORTH KINGSTOWN– When two rival teams meet, especially if their schools are separated by less than fifteen miles, there's usually tension and emotions could flare. On a beautiful Saturday afternoon, South Kingstown visited North Kingstown not just for the win, but bragging rights for the weekend.
The North Kingstown bats removed any drama from the game as the Skippers (10-1) scored three runs in the fourth and two more in the sixth while on their way to a 9-3 victory. Senior captain Tyler Lamarre was crushing the ball all day, as he went 3-4 with three RBI's including a solo homer in the fifth inning. Senior pitcher Nicholas Mongeon was sensational on the hill, pounding the strike zone all day. Through five innings, he only surrendered two runs and struck out seven batters. It was a great game for Lamarre and Mongeon, who appear to be great prospects for Stonehill College next season. Despite the struggles for the Rebels offensively, Brian Douglas had two hits for the South Kingstown as they were able to score some runs late in the game. South Kingstown missed some opportunities with runners on base, stranding five runners during the game.
WAKEFIELD — No amount of crowd enthusiasm could keep Prout from unraveling like a spool of thread on Saturday. The Crusaders baseball team was pinned by Chariho early on and they were not able to come back from a crucial first inning deficit.
"Everything went wrong for us," Crusaders' coach Mike LaBarbera said after the loss. "We didn't do a thing right today. I can't say we weren't ready to play, I feel like every time a team takes to the field they're ready, but we just didn't do anything right."
WEST WARWICK — It started out as a basketball game but ended as a baseball game thanks to West Warwick reliever Matt Grenier.
Visiting Narragansett notched eight runs in the first three innings against starter Tommy Doran and reliever Matt Hopper before Grenier entered the game in the fourth inning and proceeded to allow just one unearned run on just two hits in four innings.
The Wizards, who had 10-runned their last two opponents at McCarthy Field, matched the Mariners run for run early in the game and just kept scoring. Junior shortstop Ray Zincone had three hits and two runs scored, while junior Kody Greenhalgh had two hits, an inside-the-park home run and three runs scored in a 13-9 Division II-South win.

"I can listen for the voice of the Spirit..." You are totally scaring me man, listening to spirits like that. Bloody Mary listened to "voice of the spirit" that told her to cut off people's hands and/or heads. And since she had the power to do it she committed some of the worst atrocities ever on the English people. Since you are a minister perhaps you would like to read the one about "seducing spirits which come to you with doctrines of devils" from the Bible. The Bible is the only true instrument panel to follow. Not some "voice of the Spirit" which you purport to follow.

Should The Philadelpha Eagles Make A Move For QB Colt McCoy?
The Eagles look to be a potential Super Bowl contender. One potential area of weakness is backup QB. The Browns might be shopping their starter, Colt McCoy. If that happens, should the Eagles make an offer for him or should they stick with Kafka? By Tommy Lawlor

2012 Special Olympics Polar Plunge Legislator of the Year announcement With my wife Diana, and sons Mitch & Nick
Jeff Farrington is the State Representative for Utica, western Sterling Heights and southeast Shelby Township. The State Rep race in 2010 was the first election he ever ran in and did so to help create an environment in Michigan that is condusive to job growth. There are many subjects to address in the legislature, but keeping our families here in Michigan is Jeff's first priority.
Here's a little background to help you get to know Jeff:
Jeff's parents, Tom & Marie, raised him and his three sisters (Terry, Sandy & Lori) in Utica. He's been a resident of Utica (currently and as a child) and Sterling Heights (where his mom still lives) for over 36 years, living in Michigan his entire life. Jeff graduated from Utica High School in 1983 and was a member of their championship baseball team as a pitcher and third baseman. On the geeky side, he was also a high school national finalist in D.E.C.A. (the only Michigan student that year to earn a "finalist" ranking.)
Over a ten year period Jeff balanced family, work and school attending Macomb Community College, then earning a Bachelor's of Business Administration degree at Walsh College in 1988 and a Master's degree in 1993 from Walsh. This experience demonstrated to him the importance of a good education and he wants to make sure it's available for the next generation. Along the way Jeff married his high school sweetheart, Diana Corning. Twenty seven years later that wonderful story continues.
Jeff's work career has not been one spent in politics. He's a business person by trade and proud of it. Jeff spent a lifetime helping others find good jobs as a professional in the staffing industry. Much of his career was spent with a national staffing firm where he worked his way up from the bottom, eventually becoming a Vice President at the age of 36 with a knack for turning around poor performing operations. Along the way he was awarded for top performance as an individual performer, and as as a leader.
In 2004 Jeff walked away from what most people would consider a dream job. He was a VP with all the perks one hopes for when they take the career route he took, yet Jeff turned in his "corporate shoes" and decided to follow the dream of starting and growing his own business. That experience showed him how the state and federal governments can hinder or help the atmosphere of economic growth. He co-founded a staffing company, Dynamic Recruiters, Inc. to assist in the direct hire recruiting and interim staffing of financial, engineering and information technology professionals. The firm grew at a fast rate during the first four years, but like many small businesses in this area it hit a rough patch in 2009. Instead of throwing in the towel, they looked in the mirror and decided it was time to make tough decisions and adapt to the environment around them. Those decisions paid off and they hit record sales in 2010 and 2011. It's that attitude that Jeff brought to the state government. Stay within a new lower budget and transition to a new model for future success. Jeff has since sold the firm to focus his attention on being the best legislator he can be.
As a first term State Representative his peers elected him to the leadership team as an Assistant Majority Floor Leader. In the second term Jeff was appointed Chairman of the House Tax Policy Committee. Additional committees he serves on are; Commerce, Energy & Technology and Financial Services. If it has to do with improving our state's job growth prospects - Jeff is in the thick of it. Likewise, he sponsored legislation that reformed PA 312 (public safety arbitration) in such a way that it gained near-unanimous approval in the House of Representatives and the Governor signed it in to law in 2011. This reform has been sought for 30 years so to get it passed Jeff worked with all interested parties to achieve a result that will have lasting positive results in our communities. In 2012 the Small Business Association of Michigan and the Michigan Manufacturers Association awarded Jeff with the Legislator of the Year honor. Other organizations have done the same, such as the Michigan Association of CPA's that awarded that honor to Jeff in 2014 based on clarity, transperancy and accountability in tax law and treasury audits. The Fraternal Order of Police have also bestowed the honor of Legislator of the Year in 2014 for Jeff. This wide range of groups shows that Jeff is leading the way on bringing results to Michigan and our residents.
Jeff is a member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Utica, Kiwanis of Sterling Heights and the Walsh College's Communication Advisory Committee. Other interests include coaching. He had spent 15 years coaching youth baseball, basketball and soccer.
On a more personal side, Jeff is the proud father of two sons. One attends Michigan State and the other graduated from Western Michigan University finding a good job here in Michigan. His family was a big part of his first two campaigns and you'll probably see them out there with Jeff in the future. Jeff's dad, who grew up in the mountains of Colorado had a true passion for the outdoors, history and our nation. Those passions were passed down to him and are at the foundation of his desire to contribute to Michigan's turnaround. His family has spent a tremendous amount of time camping, as well as hiking the National Parks and enjoying the lakes of northern Michigan. Jeff believes that our environment not only brings pleasure, but it is a resource that we can't allow to be ruined for short sighted gains.
In summary, Jeff's goal is to bring Michigan back to a level of prosperity allowing families to stay together instead of having to leave the state to find good employment.

Success Story: Val Klosterman
Val Klosterman and Tom Patri at Val's Club Win
Long time and very dedicated student Val Klosterman won her second Spanish Wells Club Championship this past winter (2013). Val has been a wonderful student whose work ethic has allowed her to take my coaching and climb the mountain of success! She works with me each winter in Naples and during the summer season while I'm in New York we stay connected via my ON LINE V1 VIDEO ACADEMY.
Val is not through winning yet! I believe her best golf is still ahead of her.
Tom Patri's Junior/Collegiate Years
Tom had a wonderful junior career with 15 junior titles crowned by his 1976 Met (MGA) Junior title. The Met Junior is the oldest junior event in the country. His college record was equally successful with 5 wins, twice named 1st Team All-American while attending Florida Southern College. Tom finished his collegiate campaign with a victory at the 1981 NCAA II NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.
As a teacher and a coach the awards continued to find Tom. In 1998 Tom was named Met PGA TEACHER OF THE YEAR. In 2000 Tom was added to Golf Magazines Top 100 Teachers in America list. In both 2004 and 2006 his peers recognized him as The Southwest Florida PGA TEACHER OF THE YEAR. Finally, Tom was awarded The South Florida PGA TEACHER OF THE YEAR AWARD! Only two teachers have won Teacher of the Year in both The Met and South Florida sections. These two sections are commonly recognized as the two strongest collections of teaching and coaching talents in the country.
Tom likes nothing more than to share his golf knowledge with students who share both his passion and love for this great game regardless of their skill level.

I live in Northwest Arkansas, about 20 miles from the Arkansas campus, and I've had to live through the all the local sports talk radio discussion about the game. One would think Saturday is the national championship game for Arkansas. Today I received an alert on my iphone from one of the local TV stations titled "Red Out".
I love when teams do this. Gotta love the part in the article where they tease a special uniform change. God I hope they come out in all black or something like that. Also thought it interesting where they ask people to tune in tonight to learn what color is "Arkansas Red". See you guys at the game and ROLL TIDE.

While many fans know that Cody Rhodes and Goldust are brothes, some do not know that they are actually half brothers. Their father is WWE legend Dusty Rhodes, but they each have different mothers. The wrestling siblings are approximately sixteen years apart in age.
In a move that seems almost too petty to believe, it has now been confirmed that the official WWE account on Twitter is no longer following CM Punk after he walked out before Monday Night Raw this week. The decision could have been made by someone in the marketing or technology department as opposed to Vince McMahon or Triple H.
WWE has been pushing the wrestlers to use Twitter more often, especially on weekends, in order to get the fans talking more about the performers and company. The belief is that management has noticed how much of a buzz Ryback has been able to create through the social media website.
During a recent interview, Stephanie McMahon touted the WWE app by revealing that it has been downloaded more than eight million times.
Cody Rhodes and Goldust will be mixing business with pleasure this week, as the siblings are going to down to Florida on Thursday night to work a WWE NXT live event. Their father, the legendary Dusty Rhodes, works closely with the developmental program.
Dixie Carter placed a clue on Twitter about the new arrivals by writing the initials "DR" and "EE", which prompted Jeremy Borash to guess that it was Dusty Rhodes and Eric Embry. The widespread speculation is that it is Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards.
While he has not been seen on television in quite some time, Yoshi Tatsu is still with WWE. The Japanese wrestler has been training with the company at the performance center. Tatsu has been working closely with Dusty Rhodes on improving himself as a character.
The belief is that Dusty Rhodes was purposely kept off of the Old School Raw episode because of lingering heat with Stephanie McMahon. The WWE legend went off script during an in ring segment with the Chief Brand Officer last year.
Dusty Rhodes is one of the many former WWE stars who are making an on screen return on the special Old School edition of Monday Night Raw next week, and chances are, he will be working some sort of segment with Cody Rhodes and Goldust.
One of the people who backed up Kassius Ohno with management was Dusty Rhodes, who was really pushing for the company to keep the former ROH star around.
Dustin Rhodes has been publicly campaigning for WWE to bring him back, so that he can work a pay per view match against his younger brother Cody Rhodes, but it is a move that their legendary father Dusty Rhodes does not feel will be happening any time soon.

John Heilemann and Mark Halperin have written a book, Game Change, about the 2008 presidential race and (surprise!) it contains a variety of shopworn cheap shots aimed at Sarah Palin by the losers who drove the McCain campaign off a cliff:
In the days leading up to an interview with ABC News' Charlie Gibson, aides were worried with Ms. Palin's grasp of facts. She couldn't explain why North and South Korea were separate nations and she did not know what the Federal Reserve did. She also said she believed Saddam Hussein attacked the United States on Sept. 11, 2001.
So, who exactly said this? The authors don't tell us:
The book … is based on interviews with more than 200 people with inside knowledge of the campaign … but all sources were granted anonymity, and in most cases the authors provide no specific documentation for their account.
They won't name the "aides" and don't provide proof that they actually talked to anyone on the McCain staff who was in a position to know. Now, who is so infected with Sarahphobia that he would actually take such gossip seriously? You guessed it:
The idea that this person was qualified to run a country in one of its most serious crises, economically and militarily, beggars belief. The recklessness it revealed in McCain showed that he too was simply unqualified for high office.
Well, there are a couple of problems here. First, if Palin had actually said Saddam Hussein attacked us, it would obviously have been leaked to the "news" media by Schmidt or one of the other incompetent buffoons who ran the McCain campaign.
Second, in my area of expertise, Governor Palin consistently showed herself to be better informed, more experienced, and far more honest than anyone else on either ticket—-and that most certainly includes the feckless Barack Obama.
In fact, since the election, she has exerted nearly as much influence on the health care debate from her Facebook page as Obama has with the bully pulpit of the Presidency. So, color me skeptical about her alleged cluelessness in all these other areas.
My guess is that they had very little material on Palin, but the publisher insisted on teasing that story to generate some interest in this book. If they're lucky, they'll sell enough books to hit perhaps 1% of the sales generated by her autobiography.

Seasonal Reset Cleanse
What is it?
A nutritient-rich juice cleanse designed to reset eating habits, eliminate cravings and kick start a healthy diet, free from processed foods. The Seasonal Reset Cleanse replaces one Classic juice with a specially formulated blend that captures the best seasonal fruit in a fresh new flavor. Nearly 20 pounds of USDA organic produce is pressed into each day's allotment of six 16-ounce bottles of pure goodness. You will feel the difference in three days!
How does it work?
The Seasonal Reset program is designed to be consumed independently from food. The bottles are numbered in the order of consumption for added convenience. The cleanse is free of the additives, chemicals, stimulants, hormones and pesticides consumed in the standard American diet, allowing your body to achieve a natural Reset. In addition to flushing toxins, the chlorophyll and enzyme-rich juices fuel your body with nature's best organic fruits and vegetables, acting as catalysts for better health.
How many days should I cleanse?
1 - 2 days: Get back on track after an overindulgent weekend.
3 - 4 days: First time cleanser who wants to jumpstart healthier eating habits and increase energy. Short enough that anyone can do, but is long enough to be effective.
5 + days: Experienced cleanser who wants to thoroughly Reset eating habits. Long enough to effectively detox and begin the healing process from past damage.
The benefits are endless and specific to each individual. The most common benefits Ritual Cleansers report by the end of the program are:
- Mental clarity
- Abundant energy
- Happier Mood
- Better digestion
- Decreased desire for salt and sugar
- Craving for fresh fruits and vegetables
- Glowing skin
- More restful sleep
- Weight loss
- Strong desire to Reset regularly

One Step Closer6
March 23, 2013 by IowaTriBob
This past week I got one step closer to saying goodbye to my old friend and arch enemy – 800 meter track repeats.
For those of you not familiar with my love hate relationship, I posted previously on my continued war with speed intervals – http://iowatribob.com/2013/02/21/speed-intervals-a-love-hate-relationship/
To recap, the workout consists of:
Warm Up:
15 minutes – easy pace with some stride drills
Main Set:
4 x 800 meters with 400 meter recovery in between
- Goal of 3:30 time or 7:00 min/mile pace for each 800 interval
After last recovery run, 2 miles at 10k pace (8:15 min/mile pace)
Cool Down:
5 minute walk, jog
I still have no idea why this particular workout continues to be so difficult, but this past week I was able to remove another RED box and get one step closer to taking it down.
I've learned not to be too disappointed in myself when I'm unable to complete a workout or when missing a time goal for the day. I've come to realize that each of these self made failures (and that's exactly what they are) provide just a little more motivation to push harder the next time around.
I know that if I stay at it and keep moving the limits that I've set on myself out a little further each time, when I look back I'll see that I might have lost that days battle but I've clearly won the long term war that I've embarked upon. So for now I'll take knowing that I'm one step closer to winning the 800 repeat war and look forward to the next one to come.
And did I happen to mention that the South Beach Triathlon season opener is just a few short days away!
6 thoughts on "One Step Closer"
Good luck at South Beach. What a great triathlon spring break to give yourself!

Ilkley brew pub's first festival set to fly flag for real ale
Updated 2:19pm Thursday 20th March 2014 in News By Claire Lomax, Ilkley/Otley Reporter
An Ilkley pub is set to host its first charity beer festival next weekend to raise funds for Help for Heroes.
The Flying Duck, in Church Street, will be showcasing over 30 real ales from Cumbrian breweries, across three bars and 13 hand pumps, between Thursday, March 27, and Sunday, March 30.
The majority of the investors involved in the consortium behind the town's newest venue are past chairmen of Ilkley Round Table and founder members of the highly successful Ilkley Beer Festival which raises tens of thousands of pounds for needed causes every year.
The Flying Duck's general manager Stewart Ross said: "Real ale is our passion, we have a long history of raising money for charity and our first beer festival at the pub gives us another opportunity to bring the two together.
"Cumbrian beers are always very popular and we feel that Help for Heroes is a very worthwhile cause for us to bet getting behind."
Help for Heroes was founded by Bryn and Emma Parry in October 2007 out of a desire to help the wounded servicemen and women returning from Afghanistan and Iraq and provides direct, practical support to those injured in the current conflicts.
The Flying Duck will be making a substantial donation at the end of the beer festival based upon the number of pints sold.
The event is free to enter but there will be collecting tins available throughout the weekend should visitors wish to contribute. Donations can also be made online via bmy charity.com/FlyingDuck Ilkley.
Last week, the Flying Duck held a wine tasting evening in aid of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance and presented BBC Look North Presenters Harry Gration and Amy Garcia with a Wharfedale Blonde bottle set and a collection bucket with monies raised from their customers in support of their Tour de Yorkshire tandem ride for Sport Relief, when they paid a brief visit.

Unemployment at top of agenda
12:33pm Wednesday 21st November 2012 in Business
BUSINESSES have joined forces to tackle youth unemployment by supporting a campaign by a work programme provider.
Maximus UK held events in Southampton and Eastleigh attended by more than a dozen firms supporting its "Win Win" campaign which tries to get young people into employment, education or training.
About one in four 18 to 24-year-olds are believed to be unemployed and at risk of their skills and confidence rapidly declining.
Maximus UK encourages businesses to employ young people under the Government's youth contract, through which employers can receive subsidies of up to £2,275. Eastleigh MP Chris Huhne said: "After visiting The Maximus Centre earlier on in the year, I have seen first-hand how the centre really helps young people break down the barriers to work. These are hard economic times for so many but young people, in particular, often need a helping hand to get into sustainable, long-term employment."
Businesses can sign up to the campaign by visiting winwinwith max.co.uk.

May 3, 2006
Albany -- Albany commissioners are cracking down on businesses that sell alcohol to underaged customers.
Under proposed changes to the City's alcohol ordinance, if a business owner has his license revoked or suspended, he cannot re-apply for another license for a year. The new rules would also prevent a business owner from changing the name on the alcohol license to get around a revocation.
At Jack's Grill and Bar, bartender Amanda Griffin says she cards anyone who looks younger than 30. And she won't hesitate to kick out an underage customer who tries to order alcohol, because she know the repercussions of breaking the rules.
"I could get fired," she said. "The owner could get fined and get his liquor license taken away."
Stopping underage drinking is also a challenge at Break-time Pub and Billiard where many customers aren't 21.
Owner Sam Shugart says his bartenders are taught to always ask for ID and how to spot fakes. "If I walk in here or anybody else involved and see someone drinking that's underage, not only do we ask them to leave, or call the police, but also the employee would be instantly terminated."
But Shugart still feels some of the proposed changes to the city's alcohol ordinance are unfair. Now, city commissioners have leeway as to how long they will suspend, or if they will revoke the alcohol license of a violating business.
But commissioners want stricter guidelines. The first proposed change would mandate if a business has its alcohol license revoked or suspended, it can not apply for another license for 12 months.
Shugart says for first time violators, that's too harsh. "I think they should probably have some guidelines, maybe three months. Certainly three months worth of sales would get somebody attention."
Commissioners will also not allow repeat offenders, like Bald Eagle Foods on Ledo Road, to simply apply for another alcohol license under a new holder's name.
Shugart agrees with that change. "I do think the fact that you can't reapply under a different name or form a ghost company is a good idea. If someone disregards the law to the point where they get their license suspended, then you shouldn't be able to turn right around a reapply."
Another change would prohibit the license holder, at the time of the violation, from getting another license for a year, even if he changes locations or jobs.
Commissioners know they will face opposition from business owners like Shugart, but some say the stricter rules will stop tragic accidents that can happen when alcohol lands in the hands of a teenager.
Commissioners plan to vote on the proposed changes to the alcohol ordinance May 23rd.

News: Cam'ron Protege Clarifies Diplomat Ties, "I'm Not Dipset, I'm Just An Artist Over There"
Sunday, Aug 22, 2010 4:32PM
Cam'ron protege Vado has clarified his Diplomat ties and said he is not considered an active member of the Dipset crew which includes Jim Jones, Juelz Santana and Freekey Zekey.
Although not a Dipset member, Vado said he is signed to the camp's label.
Nah I'm not Dipset at all. I'm not Dipset, I'm just an artist over there. Dipset came back, but the movement is the U.N.. So I'm the artist coming out under the U.N., but at the end of the day, you know, it's Diplomats. I'm signed to Diplomat Records, but I'm not in the 'group' Dipset." (All Hip Hop)
Aside from Vado, a Diplomat album is currently in the works for Cam and company.
"It's a few people that's been getting at us, but the money's not really where we want it to be," Cam said in an interview regarding label negotiations. "So we'd rather distribute it ourselves until somebody comes with the right amount of money. Jim is using the 'Salute' record as his single, so we'll build off of that. But basically, with the Diplomat thing, everybody is gonna do it, but we got obligations. Jim got his album he definitely gotta turn in...[Me andVado] got this Gunz N' Butta thing. Juelz is putting his album together. Nobody wants to stop where they already have contracts and obligations, but we working too. We got eight, nine songs done." (MTV)
Jones' follow-up to 2009's Pray IV Reign is currently set to drop at the end of September.
The album titled Capo is set for a September 28th release for now, on E1 and work has already started at the offices. "Salute" is actually his first single and it features Cam'ron & Juelz Santana. The Dale "Rage" Resteghini video will be premiering soon. Pre-order the album awwready! (Hip Hop N More)
According to Def Jam VP of A&R Sha Money XL, Juelz Santana is prepping the release of his Born To Lose, Built To Win LP.
"He's touring and getting money," Sha told SOHH earlier this year. "He's getting his money so he's comfortable, he's just creating the right music because he's that next n*gga man. So he's coming with it. It's coming this year, we gonna drop this mixtape, The Reagan Era, he's shooting some crazy videos -- they on it right now, heavy, and I support them because he's that next n*gga. I've contributed from records all the way down, man. He gets everything man, from the music to the marketing to the big picture, man. We gotta create stars, I don't just leave them at the A&R Depot saying, 'I'm done.' I take it all the way there. It starts with the music and you know that's what I do. That's just one of the things that I'm great at, is the music." (SOHH)

Naya Rivera attended the '23rd Annual GLAAD Media Awards' at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City this weekend.
The actress looked sensational wearing a Moschino Fall 2011 dress.
Her dress has a ruffle cape which opens into a v-shape before cascading down her back.
This is a dress which could've worked either way – as presented or a plunging v-neck dress.
I love her chic bun and sultry makeup including kohl-rimmed eyes.
She accessorized with a matching red Stark 'Fierce' clutch and Christian Louboutin 'Bis Un Bout' ankle-strap heels, which seem to have replaced the 'Daffodile' as the celebrity favourite shoe so far this year.

Heil Hitler
Dylan Klebold, 17, and Eric Harris, 18, had a plan. What would have been Adolph Hitler's 110th birthday was coming up and, according to journalist Joe Conason, it appeared that the friends wanted to commemorate it. Obsessed with violent video games, a fascistic youth subculture, and paramilitary techniques, they spent a year collecting an arsenal of semiautomatic guns and homemade bombs with which to perpetrate a crime that the nation would never forget. They were alienated and they wanted society to pay.
Members of "the Trenchcoat Mafia," dubbed for their habit of wearing black trench coats, the boys had long been bullied by classmates. They didn't much care for that, although they adopted an indifferent attitude. Little did anyone know what was in store. Having no particular reason to live, they decided to kill themselves, take out as many of their hated classmates as they could, and blow up the school.
The day before their rampage, they sent an email to the local police department declaring their plan of revenge. They blamed parents and teachers for turning their children into intolerant sheep and announced their own suicide.
At 11:30 a.m. on April 20, 1999, they hid weapons and bombs beneath their long coats and then ran through the school, yelling and shooting. When they reached the library, they cornered and killed their largest number of victims before turning their guns on themselves. Some survivors said the shooters specifically targeted a black football player and some outspoken Christians. It all happened quickly, but with devastating impact that gripped the nation as the drama unfolded on television. After police got into the building, they counted 34 casualties. Fifteen people died in the melee, including the shooters.
Then Harris's diary turned up, which confirmed the elaborate plan. For over a year they had worked at it, drawing maps, collecting weapons, and devising a system of silent hand signals for coordinating their moves. Behind closed doors in their parents' homes, they had spoken of death and of their lone-wolf brand of heroism. The simple fact that emerged is that they were angry, bitter kids who had access to guns, who identified with a twisted dictator, and who were inspired by images of grandiose violence. For them, what the culture viewed as evil was a means of disturbing the social order and thrusting a thorn into the nation's side that wasn't going to go away.
Yet it's not just a human role model that influences evil. Some people look to the larger-than-life images of mythology to fuel their aggression.

The Cosmos is Within Us
Cosmos is collection of of all particles and energy that exist. Eventually we are also made-up of Cosmos as we are the part of the big universe. The Early universe which was formed after the instance of Big Bang was a huge area of Star-dust. The Amount of Star-dust inside of our body is impressive.
Any element heavier than hydrogen is ultimately a product of the nuclear fusion that takes place within stars. When big stars die, they tend to explode a lot of heavier elements out into space, which become nebulae. These nebulae often coalesce into new stars and, sometimes, planets. Some of those planets (well, one at least) have people on them, so people are in a sense made of "star-dust".

Asset Management
Western is currently transforming its asset management activities under the Asset Management Program Improvement Project to develop a mature, data-driven asset planning and investment program.
AMPIP will formalize and standardize how Western collects and processes asset data for three critical transmission assets across the agency, including how employees evaluate and document existing asset condition, calculate probability of failure and consequences, create schedules for optimal maintenance work and make recommendations for asset replacement or retirement.
By using the industry-accepted asset management guide, Asset Management Institute Publicly Available Specification-55, eventually Western staff will be able to create near real-time asset condition reports and provide risk based information to help with capital investment recommendations for senior management, customers and other stakeholders using industry policies, procedures and best practices.
Expected to be completed in mid-2014, AMPIP focuses on three core assets—transmission line segments, breakers and power transformers—to serve as test cases for improved processes and procedures, which will then be expanded to incorporate other assets over time as the program matures.
Progress update
The AMPIP team recently achieved major milestones when the various functional councils within Western, such as the cross-agency power marketing, power operations and maintenance groups, and senior leadership approved the new methodology by which employees will determine asset health and consequences of failure of that asset and a relative risk score. The methodology was developed by subject matter experts within Western and tested on a few pilot assets in each region to ensure its validity.
With this new methodology in hand, Western staff is moving onto the next stage of the project, which, among other things, includes asset data collection, developing new attributes and analytics in Western's maintenance data base and sharing the new methodology with customers and others to demonstrate how asset health and risk will be calculated and shared in future discussions.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Stokley left Sunday's game against the Houston Texans in the fourth quarter with a yet-to-be-disclosed injury.
Stokley caught a nine-yard pass from Peyton Manning at the 4:57 mark in the fourth quarter, and took a shot on the back of his left shoulder from Texans safety Glover Quin. Stokley also appeared to have landed on the football.
Stokley caught six passes for 73 yards and a touchdown on Sunday before exiting. That exceeded his production from the first two games, as he caught a combined five balls for 53 yards and no scores against the Pittsburgh Steelers and Atlanta Falcons.
In 14 NFL seasons, Stokley has accumulated 4,733 receiving yards and 34 touchdowns.

Imperfect - Pretérito Imperfeito
Verb - Imperfect
Two different kinds of tenses are used to express or indicate actions that happened in the past. In the lesson about Simple Past – Passado Perfeito, you can see that it is used to refer to actions that were completed in a recent past. Basically, the Simple Past refers to completed actions that have a definite beginning and a definite end.
The Imperfect tense – Passado Imperfeito – is used to refer to past actions that are not seen as completed, actions that were in progress without a definite beginning or end, or actions that were in progress when another event occurred. A good translation for this kind of sentences is the progressive form (I was, she was, he was, it was, we were, they were….doing something) . Observe that you can use a compound tense, using the verb "to be" (estar) conjugated in the Imperfect tense along with the main verb in the gerund form or a simple tense. Compare the examples below:
(Verbs in the gerund forms are those that have the terminations ando, endo or indo added to their roots)
The imperfect indicates a habit that a person used to do. A habit is a group of actions that were repeated many times, habitually.
Finally, the Imperfect is also used to describe people, places, things, conditions of the past.
When conjugating regular verbs in the Imperfect tense, you just have to preserve the root of the verb and substitute the terminations "ar", "er" or "ir" for the following bold terminations:
