Where In The World?
Where in the world is this? DPRK of course, but I find it striking that the below pics from the Rason seaside park could be of healthy and happy children at play in any random park in the first world – more visual testimony of how quickly North Korea is modernizing for the better.
A State of Mind – North Korean Film Review
The documentary A State of Mind broke ground in 2003 as the first western production to be allowed unrestricted access into Pyongyang, filming in the homes of friends Pak Hyon Sun (age 13) and Kim Song Yun (age 11), and showing insights into their daily life as they trained for gymnastics performances in a run of mass games.
Their determined preparation leading to the film's "socialist realist extravaganza" mass games finale is fascinating, but I more enjoyed the peeks into the girl's daily lives: attempts to ditch homework, delight as one girl inherits a room when an older sister joins the army, and a father complaining about his house full of chatty woman.
The filmmakers successfully present a non judgmental viewpoint, but there is no mistaking the reality of a people's collectivist mindset. Sacrifice of individuality to the needs of the state is the film's major theme – which is precisely what the mass game and other mass events aim to be the ultimate representation of.
Filmed a decade ago, this is not the DPRK I am firsthand familiar with, but I still love this documentary and consider it required viewing for anyone with an interest in the country. I personally know the director, and although I haven't met the girls from the film, I have seen behind the scenes photos of them from the production, making this extra special film for me.
You can find A State of Mind on Amazon.com.
Chinese National Day Tour
Chinese National Day Tour – September 30th – October 8th
My plans have changed; instead of a Rason trip I'm now being sent in to guide the finale of the Arirang Mass Games for Young Pioneer Tour's Chinese National Day Tour.
Still time to arrange a visa to see the final Arirang Mass Games: €1195 – 7 days in DPRK, Train/Flight In, Train Out (Flight out +€120) Dandong option €795
Restricted Chongjin, North Korea
In the post 5 Reasons Not To Go To North Korea, the author claims (amongst many other things I strongly disagree with) that travel to the Northeast industrial city of Chongjin is impossible:
You know those tour buses that clutter up every major city in the world? The ones that pull up and regurgitate camera-snapping masses onto the streets of London, Paris, New York and Rome?
Give me one of those any day over a trip to Pyongyang.
You see, you only see what the government allow you to see. That is to say, you see the capital city and all the chintziest sights that the Kim dynasty deem suitable for foreign eyes, the sights that portray their tyrannic regime in the best light possible. Prosperous, modern, robust
Your cameras are checked. You can only take photographs where permitted. You can't wander down a side street while the rest of your tour group is regaled with tales of double rainbows and icebergs heralding the birth of Kim Jong Il.
You won't see Cheongjin, the industrial city on the coast that was thoroughly ransacked and ravaged during the famine, North Korea's second largest. It's not even on Google maps at present.
This isn't accurate, Chongjin has been an approved tourist city for some time, the problem has been getting there. Until recently access was only possible by charter flight via Pyongyang, but in 2013 new routes in the Northeast were opened with Chongjin easily visited via either Rason or Namyang.
The Whole Not Seeing Anything New Thing
What exactly would a visitor to North Korea see that hasn't been seen before?
Will they see the places I've listed above? Not unless the government relax their policies regarding where can and cannot be visited, and even under the rule of Kim Jong Un, who appears to be slightly less monstrous than his father, this appears unlikely at present.
Rather, a visitor to North Korea is only going to see what everyone else before them has seen. See the same statues, hear the same stories, walk across the giant streets with barely a car in sight – maybe even catch a military parade of some kind if they're lucky.
There are so many new places and things to see in the DPRK it's mind blowing. Join Young Pioneer Tours on one of their Northeast Extreme trips, a cruise out of Rason, Dandong day trips to Sinuiju, or check out the newly opened sites in the town of Pyongsong – there is no excuse for not seeing something new on a trip to North Korea if you are adventures enough to get out of Pyongyang!
Amazing interactions with local kids in the "you won't see Cheongjin" industrial city of the Northeast:

Rason Business Interest Tour
Development under the watchful eyes of a Kim mosaic in Rason, North Korea.
Join me for the September 22nd – September 27th Rason Business Interest Tour.
The 3 night, 4 day trip has us visiting many of the major joint-venture and foreign owned companies in the area as well as most importantly meeting people involved with the foreign affairs and investment departments in the area to explore opportunities in the region as well as the logistics of doing business here.
Whilst we will be visiting tourist attractions whilst here the trip will primarily be based around doing business, and as such we will only be accepting bookings from people looking to do business here.
This is an excellent opportunity to meet the people that matter, set up further appointments, and begin what can be a long process of doing business in the DPRK.
The trip starts and finishes in Beijing/Yanji, with us doing a Rason Business presentation at the wonderful LiuJing Hotel, Yanji on the evening prior to departure.
4 nights, 5 days • €695 (650 meet in Yanji) • (Beijing – Yanji – Rason – Yanji. (3 nights, 4 days in Rason, 1 night, 2 days in China)
This trip is capped at 6 people, three more spaces available, and time to sign up is limited.
The Non Propaganda Kindergarten Environment
From past posts readers might be under the impression that North Korean kindergartens are overwhelmingly filled with political and military statues and art. But there is a sweeter, more innocent side to DPRK kindergartens, aspects of which I would like to highlight in this photo post:
Photos from Chongjin and Rason Kindergartens .
Pyongyang Spring International Trade Fair
Last spring I had a chance to visit the 16th Pyongyang Spring International Trade Fair held at the Three Revolutionary Ideas Exhibition. Entrance was 5 Euros and not everybody in my tour group wanted to visit. Those who didn't enter got to mingle with locals and eat barbeque pork at an outside food court, but those of us who did visit were treated to an amazing look at North Korean technology and the country's emerging marketplace.

Want to learn more about business opportunities in the DPRK ? Gareth Johnson, Young Pioneer Tours founder, and I will be heading up to the Rason Special Economic Zone for 3 days of business meetings on Sept 24th. This is not a tourist trip, but for those with serious business interests there is still time to join up. Please email me at: firstname.lastname@example.com – full itinerary and price to be published shortly.
Rason Special Economic Zone Shoe Factory
The Rason shoe factory is one of the various light industry sites open to tourists in the North Korean Special Economic Zone. Unlike the bustling Rason textile factory, the shoe factory was only running at half capacity on my visit. Factory officials embarrassingly explained that output was down due to sanctions – although that seemed a dubious excuse after having witnessed the busy textile factory production floors. But then again, I'm not an expert on sanctions, and keeping North Korean high heels off the international market might truly be part of American strategy to force regime change.
Kindergarten Tank Art

North Korean Middle School Badges
North Koreans are initiated into the wearing of badges and insignia at a young age. In the Rason SEZ I found kindergarten children wearing red star badges as a reward for exemplary performance. Throughout the country regimented middle school children compete for rank; those who win responsibilities, receive and wear arm badges.
The highest ranking student in a class receives an arm badge displaying three bars and three stars, as the boy above is wearing.
These types of badges are not available for tourists at souvenir shops, but I did find them. I purchased several using local North Korean currency at the public market in the Rason Special Economic Zone.
Of the two middle school badges I purchased, the one on the right, two bars and one star, ranks higher than the the one on the left, three stars and one bar. I wore the higher ranking badge on my arm in the DPRK and the locals were absolutely delighted. Women giggled, men posed for pictures with me, and I was repeatedly asked why I only held a mid level rank.
Notice the lower ranking badge in the above picture; after leaving my camera battery charger at the Nampo Hot Spring Hotel and having to return for it, Miss Yu, the North Korean guide, demoted me!

2014 Young Pioneer DPRK Tours
Looking forward to the release of our 2014 DPRK lineup:
By August 2nd YPT will be launching our DPRK 2014 program, which whilst having some similar bits to 2013, will have a few cool extras thrown in. We will also once again be offering massive discounts to early bookers.

I have a quiet autumn for DPRK trips; a private Rason trip is currently the only thing on my schedule for North Korea. In November I will helping Gareth Johnson, YPT founder, on the month long Eurasian Adventure Tour, and in December I plan to head down to Africa to scout out Djibouti, Eritrea, and Somaliland for a spring Young Pioneer Tours trip that I plan to guide in that region. My hope is to work a long winter and spring on my ship and have the 2014 summer free to guide during the busy DPRK season – with luck I will score the Mt. Baekdu trip!
In between these tours you can look for me at our newly acquired North Korean theme bar in Yangshuo, China, where I will be serving beers and selling trips this October.
Discounts at the DMZ Bar when you book a YPT Tour
The bar is staffed at all times by at least one, but oftentimes a few YPT full time guides/tour organizers, with our being that it can be a great place in the sun to sit, enjoy a beer, and talk about all things tour related with an expert about the DPRK, and all of the other great places we go to with YPT. Essentially it is as much a branch office as it is a bar, with it being fully fitted with books and brochures about the country as well as our experts.
Therefore to add a little spice to the place we are offering a 5% discount on all tours booked, and where the cash deposit has been paid at the bar. Very simple, you make the effort to come to the bar, or by even luckier chance happen to be going through there anyway, and YPT give you a sexy little discount, and you never know, you might actually enjoy yourselves!
The FBI in North Korea
Shhhhh, dont tell, but the FBI has infiltrated North Korea!
Actually it's just a Chinese knockoff hat worn by a North Korean at the Mt. Chilbo Home Stay Village. The man had no idea what the hat signified and seemed bewildered by all the attention and requests for photos – and just to be clear, he was wearing the hat, we didn't put it on him.

Late September Rason SEZ Trip
Join Young Pioneer Tours founder Gareth Johnson and I for a late September VIP business interests trip to the Rason Special Economic Zone of North Korea.
Jets, missiles, and tanks at a Rason SEZ kindergarten playground.
We are still finalizing itinerary details and dates, but in addition to planned meetings with officials (perfect for those interested in the opening up of the DPRK economy), we will visit the Triangle Bank, the only place in North Korea where it is permitted for tourists to change the Korean Won at the "street" rate, and visit the Rason public market, the only place where you can legally spend your newly acquired Won – truly unique experiences!
We are only taking a limited amount of travelers on this trip, but spaces are available. I will post the dates (probably heading there around Sept 23rd), price, and itinerary as soon as I get them confirmed by the North Koreans. Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com for more info.

Kim Jong-il's New Jacket
The Kim Jong-il statue on Pyongyang's Mansudae Hill got a new jacket this year: a massive bronze winter parka.
The Mansudae Hill Kim Jong-il statue was originally unveiled to the North Korean people on the April 15th, 2012, the 100th birthday anniversary of eternal President Kim Il-sung. I was among the first group of tourists to visit the statue when the monument was officially reopened to foreigners the following day. The original 2012 Kim Jong-il statue attire included a bronze medium length formal style jacket. Apparently authorities didn't find the formal jacket representative to late leader's career, so master artists of the Mansudae Art Studio were tasked to cast a giant copy of the late leader's iconic winter parka – see Kim Jong-il looking at things.
Time examined Kim Jong-il's parka and reported the following comments from the North Korean Rodong Sinmun:
"People around the world are attracted to and following not only the jacket our Great Leader is wearing," Rodong Sinmun wrote in 2010, "but also his attitude, facial expressions, hand gestures, and even his handwriting." All over the world, the parka was "the most valuable and noble item to have."

North Korean Kindergarden Propaganda
Framed print of children attacking US soldier snowmen at the Chongjin Kindergarten. I have been told the Korean script on the snowmen says "American bastards" – extreme propaganda for a kindergarten!
This painting of the North Korean missile was also found at this Chongjin Kindergarten.
Update – further details on the translation from my comments: The snowman on the left appears to have "쥐명박" (jui-myeong-bak) written on it. The name of South Korea's former president is "이명박" (lee-myeong-bak). They have changed the family name of the former president from the original "이" (lee) to "쥐" (jui), which means "rat". The DPRK often referred to him as a rat and Seoul as a rat's nest. Nice find, Captain!
American G.I. Clown At The Pyongyang Military Circus
The Korean War era American G.I. clown is alive and well at the Pyongyang Military Circus. Performed while the nets for the trapeze grand finale are being rigged, the skit always portrays the G.I. as the butt of jokes and as a helpless buffoon. The skit changes with time, one past visitor reported seeing a performance where the G.I. repeatedly had his plate of dinner hidden on him by a cunning South Korean military cook. The skit I watched had the G.I. beat up by a South Korean street bum with 4 legs. Why 4 legs? I assume the audience is meant to see the action via the perspective of the drunken American soldier, which of course is blurred, confused, and absolutely absurd.
And no, this is not a real American G.I., but a North Korean soldier with a fake nose and a heavy makeup job.
Spring 2013 North Korea Podcast
Soju at the Mini Pyongyang Folk Park.
Jordan Harbinger, Captain Joe (Sailor Joe got promoted) and some AoC alumni trekked it out to North Korea in the middle of the highest point of tension between North Korea and the rest of the world. Here's an inside look at the country from us while we were there.
A Traffic Controller on Crossroads
A great film about my favorite ladies, A Traffic Controller on Crossroads is newly out with English subtitles on Youtube. In The DPRK the film is described as a romantic comedy, and while through a western perspective I found it neither, the film still provides a unique look into North Korean culture via their domestic film industry.

Back to North Korea – Extreme North East
Waiting for my Manila to Beijing flight for yet another North Korea trip this week.
On April 22nd I start the Extreme North East Tour and will be the first American tourist to cross the Tumen land border.
Beijing – Tumen – Namyang – Hyeryong – Chongjin – Mt Chilbo – Rason – Yanji
In November 2012, YPT, and Troy became the first westerner to cross the Tumen border in Namyang, into the extreme North-East of the DPRK. This will be the second group of Western Tourists to enter the country via Namyang and to undertake this route!
Our trip starts off either in Beijing, or meeting us directly in Tumen to cross on foot over the bridge and into the DPRK, and Namyang, where your extreme DPRK experience starts with a bang. This can be considered the most intense border crossing in the country, with every piece of paper that you own, and all your electronics and bags being given the most thorough going over you are ever likely to receive in any border! It might sound scary, but the intensity makes it quite the experience.
We are then met by our extremely friendly guides and driven to Hyeryong, a city only just opened to western tourists, and hometown of not only the most beautiful women in the country (according to the Koreans), but also mother Kim Jong Suk, before heading on to the infamous Chongjin and the scenically beautiful Mt Chilbo, where we indulge in the only home-stay available in the country. This is an extremely unique and interesting experience, and your night spent drinking and eating with the Korean family will undoubtedly be unforgettable.
Following this we cross the internal border from the DPRK "mainland" into the Rason Special Economic Zone, currently the only place in the DPRK where foreigners can change money at the market rate, use local money and even shop in the private markets! Thus combining the least seen parts of this country, with the practically unseen.
We then finish the tour Yanji, Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, an area with the largest Korean-Chinese population in China.

The Canadian Home Builder`s Association of British Columbia held its department G awards last Saturday, their fourth year celebrating sustainable building in B.C.
Six different companies took home awards in the eight categories; some first time honourees and others repeat winners.
The night`s first award went to Adera Development Corporation for Most Affordable Certified Home. Their development Breeze in South Surrey would also go on to win Most Energy Efficient and Sustainable Community.
"Breeze has been a spectacular project for us," said Eric Andreasen. "It has tremendous curb appeal. It's built in west-coast modern architecture, with the long, linear lines, gigantic windows. The location is amazing and people who are in our target market, 30-plus-minus, they want to have sustainability baked into their product and that's one of the things we've made a commitment to."
It's because of their business model that they take great pride in their department G awards.
"Sustainability is important for us as just about anything else so we take it very seriously," said Andreasen. "We feel like competing in an awards category like the department G awards is very important to our customers because to them it validates that they're living in something that is verified by a third party."
The Best Certified Whole House Renovation award went to Schreyer Construction for their Cedar Ridge Townhome.
"There are not that many green renos out there and we really tried to get that part of Built Green going, on the renovations side," said Axel Schreyer. "That`s what most interests me about it. The rating we got, and the airtightness we achieved, we were pretty proud of that, and the envelope."
Ritchie Custom Homes took home the award for Most Innovative Certified Home.
Their project, in conjunction with the Penticton Indian Band, produced an 88 EnerGuide rating – a requirement to receive funding from the Band.
"The project that we built with the Penticton Indian Band was a very innovative project and it provided a solution to the housing shortage they had and their goal is to build sustainable homes and cost effectively – and we were able to do that," said Nick Hill of Ritchie Custom Homes. "To be able to do that and get the funding we had to come up with a lot of innovative ideas, to build a super energy efficient home at an affordable rate."
While all finalists had a slide show of their projects shown, Hill said that a picture can`t tell the story.
"The other finalists had beautiful homes – I`m quite surprised," said Hill. "But what you don`t see in the photos is all the detail behind the drywall, the paint and the flooring that went into this project. We really pushed the envelope with respect to design, and how that relates to cost. And we were able to achieve that with a very efficient home with a very affordable rate – but you don`t see that in photos."
The Certified Energy Advisor of the Year is Einar Halbig of E3 Eco Group.
Halbig feels that being a member of a team, as opposed to a solo CEA, gave him the advantage.
"For one, we are a group – there are eight of us now," said Halbig. "That sets us apart from most of other energy advisors, who are mostly a sole proprietorship business or maybe two of them. So we feel that we can offer more services to a larger quantity of clients. We have quite a large roster of clients and the attraction there I think is the ability to serve larger projects."
"Hopefully people recognize that I`m just one of the cogs at E3 Eco Group."
Naikoon Contracting nabbed the award for Certified Renovator of the Year.
"We pride ourselves a lot in building green homes," said Joe Geluch "This seems to be one of the only awards shows that lets you be awarded for that."
What advantage did repeat winner Naikoon have in taking this award in 2013?
"Maybe they owed us one because we had nine," he said with laughter. "We put a lot of effort into it and we're advocates for the program so that may be why we got some hardware."
The big winner of the night was Camelot Homes. They first won for Premier Certified Home and then took the ultimate honour of the night, Certified Builder of the Year.
Music By the Sea in Qualicum Beach – their project built just 50 yards from the ocean – reached an 84 EnerGuide rating, Platinum Built Green certification, and photos of it won oooos and awwwws from Saturday night's attendance.
"We've won a bunch of awards this year, and Built Green is a big thing for our company," said Dan Macleod of Camelot Homes. "We do high-end stuff that's Built Green. We have a great group of people that put that together. We get lucky do to [the kind of homes we do]. We've been here for 33 years in building and are just focused on doing nice high-end homes that are competitive. We do modest homes [as well] but everything we do is the same consistency and Built Green. That's what we've always focused on and we're going to stay doing it."
Vanessa Joehl, director of department G, was again very pleased with the outcome of the awards ceremony.
"I applaud all the winners, who are very deserving of the honours they won tonight," said Joehl. "But what I really hope is that other companies, whether they established builders, or those just entering into sustainable building, will be encouraged by the department G awards and further improve the quality of home building in B.C."

What Happens to your Business if You Face the Dreaded…
"You never know when your luck is going to run out."
What would happen to your business if you should die, get divorced, face bankruptcy, wind up in a nasty lawsuit, or fill-in the blank________________—any other of the worst case scenarios you can imagine?
There are numerous dangers that could destroy your family business. While you may hope none of these things ever happen, the simple truth is you never know when your luck might run out.
So how do you protect what you have for your family today, and pave the way for other family members to continue the business when you are gone? The answers are two-fold: 1. Carry adequate business insurance, and 2. Legally structure your business to minimize business liabilities.
While you may think that insurance alone is enough, there are numerous risks where insurance alone can't help. In most cases insurance won't help if you are clearly at fault. It won't protect you from a disagreement with your business partners or family members, and it won't protect you from the IRS or other creditors. Protection from these dangers can only be found in your company's legal structure.
The benefits of a well-conceived legal structure could be to shelter your personal assets from lawsuits, to protect your savings from bankruptcy, and to preserve your business for future generations.
Your legal structure may be the most important thing you do to minimize risk, perhaps even more important than insurance! And yet, few small businesses take advantage of partnership and corporation laws. This common oversight could mean losing your business if you bump into the worst-case scenario.
Most small businesses run as sole proprietorships or general partnerships, because they are easier and less expensive to set up.
Many people believe that a sole proprietorship is all they need when starting out, because their risks and assets are minimal at first. This assumption could be a big mistake for a portable sanitation operator. As soon as your trucks go out on the road and your restroom units are placed into service, your liability becomes a very serious issue.

VERONA (WKOW) -- This Father's Day, an area organization met their goal in keeping dozens of students active.
Kindergartners to freshmen in high school took part in Sunday's Aqua Dash, at the Goodman Aquatic Center.
Kids swam and ran and the distances, based on their age. Students received metals at the finish line.
The students say this reminds them how important it is to stay healthy.
"You need to keep your body healthy and its probably good to exercise more, so it's fun to do races and get your exercises at the same time," said Acacia Doughty, Cherokee Middle School.
This event was put on by the Madison School and Community Recreation Center, part of the Madison Metropolitan School District.
Organizers say the money raised went towards aquatic scholarships.
They have another event happening again on July 15. To find out more, click here.

East Lancashire rail bosses fear closers over £3.5billion savings programme
4:43pm Tuesday 13th March 2012 in Burnley
RAIL bosses have poured cold water on fears that ticket offices in East Lancashire could close under projected cutbacks.
Union leaders fear the closure of one in four rail booking offices - including Accrington and Burnley Central - as part of a £3.5billion savings programme nationwide.
It is feared the cutbacks will have echoes of Dr Beeching's infamous 1960s cuts, which saw stations like Daisyfield, Bacup and the original Clitheroe station cease operations.
But train operator Northern Rail is adamant it has no plans to axe any counters along the East Lancashire line.
Rail campaigners had voice concerns over the future of the Accrington office, which only reopened after a £2million overhaul just 14 months ago.
Burnley Central is the only other ticket office on the Colne to Blackburn line.
Last year Sir Roy McNulty recommended a number of cuts, including ticket office reductions in a 'value-for-money' study.
Transport Secretary Justine Greening has said she wants to offer passes for sale in shops and garages as part of a major overhaul of the current ticketing system.
Manuel Cortes, a Transport and Salaried Staff Association general secretary, said: "If the local booking office goes, then the station itself will not be far behind it.
"This will amount to a mini-Beeching with hundreds of stations in rural areas facing the threat of long-term closures."
But a Northern Rail spokesman added: "We have no immediate plans to close any ticket office.
"However as the McNulty Review and subsequent Government Report highlight, we do recognise that passengers have differing preferences for how they buy their tickets.
"That is why over recent years we have improved our ticket offices and installed more ticket vending machines as well as launching our online ticket sales facility.
"We will continue to enhance our retail options for customers, acknowledging that it is not 'one size fits all'."

Garages? That's where people who wouldn't be seen dead on public transport go to buy fuel for their CARS, not railway tickets, FFS. There are three garages in Darwen and none of them anywhere near the railway station. How is that helping a PUBLIC TRANSPORT system? These jokers need to booted out of government as soon as possible.

We gave up 9 guys, 3+ of whom are basically no-names, for those 14 guys in the first list.
Playoff appearances in this time frame (2008 season-current):
Diamondbacks: 0
A's: 1
Before long the A's should be able to officially mark the Diamondbacks as being in our farm system XD
The A's should sign Haren as a free agent, just to complete that trade as even more ridiculous. Especially with Anderson still in the rotation! XD

Quality assurance at JUH means good and persistent performance in the right way with a reasonable cost from the first time.
Being a part of the Accreditation Project supported by the Ministry of Health and USAID, quality assurance committees has been formed to prepare plans, programs, policies and procedures needed to conduct and achieve the international quality standards for hospitals. In addition to that, the hospital is keen on familiarizing its employees with the concept of quality theoretically and practically.
These none stopping efforts done by Jordan University Hospital have flourished at the end by getting the ISO 9001 certificate in 2007. Not stopping at one success of improving the quality of service at the international level, the hospital has applied for the Joint Commission of International Accreditation Certification and seeks to get (HASAB) Certificate for food quality.
J UH has developed, progressed, and modernized its facilities and services noticeably over the years, always putting quality at the top of its agenda. It seeks not only being a quality, excelling hospital, but also world-class.

Per the Daily News Eagletarian blog at philly.com, the trade of Sheldon Brown and Chris Gocong has been completed. Apparantely, Brown has agreed to a contract extension with the Clevleand Browns. An official press conference should be coming shortly.
It is certainly a telling move in that the Eagles appear to be completely overhauling the roster. If your age begins with a 3 (that is you, Donovan), I think your days in an Eagles uniform are numbered.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate is expected to finally pass a bill Wednesday that would extend unemployment benefits for some 2.5 million Americans who have exhausted them.
Democrats overcame a Republican filibuster Tuesday with the support of Maine's two Republican senators and the new senator from West Virginia.
After a final Senate vote, the bill goes back to the House, which is expected to approve it.
President Barack Obama thanked senators for acting accused Republicans of holding the unemployed hostage through obstruction and game playing.
Three earlier votes to move the bill had stalled.
Republicans want the spending to be offset by cuts elsewhere in the budget and Pres. Obama wants to continue treating the extension as emergency spending, meaning it will increase the deficit.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - A Lubbock restaurant helped bring needed equipment to the Idalou Volunteer Fire Department.
On Thursday, Firehouse Subs announced a donation of a special washer and dryer to clean the gear the firemen wear when they battle a blaze.
"They are a volunteer department and they don't have the funds to purchase equipment like this; this bunker gear washer and dryer costs approximately $16,000," says Mindy Wilkins with Fire House Subs.
"We can put about five sets of bunker hear in the washing machine, which it's an enormous machine," says Chief Ed Wilbanks with the Idalou Volunteer Fire Department.
Fire House Subs sells their five gallon pickle buckets to help fund their public safety foundation. Customers are also able to make donations at their restaurants.
To date, they have awarded more than $2.2 million to fire departments nationwide.

Albany -- The debate on stem cell research will be brought back up on the Senate floor on Capital Hill starting tommorow.
We asked Georgia lawmakers for their take on the issue.
The House of Representatives passed the bill in support of embryonic stem cell research one year ago. Georgia Congressman Sanford Bishop says he strongly supports such research that can improve the quality of healthcare in the nation.
Senator Saxby Chambliss says he's studying more about embryonic stem cell research before he makes a decision on how he will vote. "The stem cell research, when done properly and ethically can certainly go a long way toward eradicating some of these dreaded diseases," said Congressman Sanford Bishop.
"Certainly there are a lot of beneficial results that can be achieved through the research that we've done with stem cell research, but at the same time we've got to be careful that we don't move too far," said Senator Saxby Chambliss.
Chambliss calls the stem cell debate one of the most challenging moral issues he's dealt with in Congress. The Senate will be voting on a package of bills to increase federal funding of the research.

LONG ISLAND, NY – November 5, 2009 – The Department of Criminal Justice at St. Joseph's College, in conjunction with the Criminal Justice Club, is pleased to present a book discussion with Jay Salpeter and Richard Firstman, authors of A Criminal Injustice: A True Crime, a False Confession, and the Fight to Free Marty Tankleff. The discussion will take place from 12:40-1:35 p.m. in the Music Room located in O'Connor Hall on the College's Long Island Campus on Tuesday, November 10, 2009.
On the morning of September 7, 1988, seventeen-year-old Marty Tankleff awoke to find his parents brutally attacked in their bed. Police immediately turned their suspicion on Marty, and two years later, he was convicted of murder charges and sentenced to 50 years in prison. After several appeals to the state and federal courts were denied, Marty enlisted the help of retired NYPD detective and private investigator Jay Salpeter, whose research uncovered carelessness and gross misconduct in the investigation. Mr. Salpeter's discoveries brought national media attention to the case, and as a result, Marty's conviction was finally vacated in 2007.
"We would like to involve the public in the discussion about this case," said Sean Cambridge, president of the Criminal Justice Club at St. Joseph's College. "I hope to get more of the student population interested in local criminal justice issues."
This event is free and open to the public. An interactive discussion with questions from the audience is encouraged. Lunch will be served. For more information, please call the Department of Criminal Justice at 631.687.4582 or visit www.sjcny.edu.

Hellloooooooo my darling subjects! I figure since it's the off-season and nothing is happening (I did not post this on the first day of free agency or anything... :I ) you all might not mind helping me find a new castle. I'm moving from Fort Collins to Denver in August, and wondered if you fine folks in the know might have knowledge of secret super lumping cheap neighborhoods that don't suck and are not in Aurora. I don't know anything about Denver. I'm way poor and in art school, so our rent budget is about 775 a month for a two bedroom. My roommate will be working at the zoo, so if it's within 30 minutes of city park that would be fantastic.
I've been using Craigslist and sites like Apartment Finder (by cort lol tm) fanatically for the past two months and have unearthed nothing but old turds in my price range. So yeah! Any old dogs know of anything?
Thanks so much, If you help me find a place I will knight you and then once I am old enough to drink we can get a flagon of mead. WAHOOO

Economy needs 'refocused away from imported labour'
Shadow immigration minister Chris Bryant said it was time to "refocus" the economy away from imported labour.
Speaking on Daybreak ahead of his speech this morning, when he is expected to criticise "unscrupulous employers" who cut their costs by using workers from eastern Europe he said:
"We have one million young people under the age of 24 in this country out of work, we have higher long-term unemployment than we have had for many years, couldn't we run the economy in a better way so that big companies don't have to rely on bringing in workers?"
"This is a big issue for companies that pay people within spitting distance of the minimum wage.
"If you have eight men coming from an eastern European country, a low wage economy, to the UK living in a house together, often in sub-standard accommodation, and only working for six weeks and then going home, then of course they under cut British people who would be able to take on those jobs."

Over the five years Villa Mexico Cafe has been on Cambridge Street, it's earned a devoted clientele, many of whom were skeptical that one of the city's best burritos could be found in the back of a gas station.
Adam Conrad was among the dubious. "But then I was actually brought here. I had one bite and it changed my mind."
Finding a New Home
But as of the end of this month, the gas-station burrito will be gone. And whether Villa Mexico finds a new home on Beacon Hill is uncertain. A major factor will be whether the Beacon Hill Civic Association approves a zoning variance Wednesday night.
Villa Mexico has been asked to leave Grampy's by the end of this month. The gas station itself will be vacating the space next year to make room for the construction of an office building.
A Rush to Move
Julie King, a Stoneham resident and owner of Villa Mexico, said that she was originally given until next June to move but that date was unexpectedly moved up to December. "I wasn't ready for this change. I thought it was going to happen next year," she said.
Customers Help Search For New Business Site
A few of her customers got wind of the move and offered ideas for new locations. One had a building on Tremont and Shawmut, another had a place in the business district, but each spot came with limitations that made a move difficult.
"I was just thinking, 'Oh my God, what am I going to do? Then my third angel came up," King said of the third offer.
Customers Mitch and Carrie Wilson, of Beacon Hill, had bought a building at 12 Grove St., King said, and offered her a lease on the ground level.
"It was like a dream to me, you know. It's a nice place, it's not very big, but it's cute," King said. "At the moment I put my feet on the door I just feel it. I say 'this is going to be my place."
Steps in the Process
But 12 Grove St. is not permitted for restaurant use. At Wednesday night's zoning committee meeting, King and her lawyer will make an appeal to the board to grant a variance. If the committee approves it, King's next stop will be City Hall for the official decision. The Beacon Hill committee acts only as an advocacy group on behalf of the neighborhood but its decisions hold significant sway over whether City Hall grants approvals.
If all the permitting goes through, King faces another hurdle: although Wilson would help pay to equip the kitchen (with repayments built into the rent), King still needs a significant cash infusion to pay for the legal fees and permitting process. King estimates that relocation will cost upwards of $30,000.
Kickstarting a fundraiser
To help meet these expense, King and her daughter, Bessie King, of Stoneham, launched a Kickstarter campaign in October. As part of the campaign, Villa Mexico needs to raise $5,000 by Jan. 9 at 3:39 p.m.; if it fails to reach this goal, all the money is returned to donors. As of Tuesday, the campaign has raised $1,515.
"I am pretty confident that God is going to help us," King said. "If everything goes well, we'll be [at 12 Grove St.] in January." If not, King will have to scramble for a new plan. "I cannot stop working because, honestly, I'm not a rich woman."

As the semiconductor industry slowly recovers from the economic downturn, it's facing an accelerated technology roadmap and shortened product lifecycles. The semiconductor manufacturer's challenge is to balance the time to introduce new technologies with reasonable investment costs at minimized risk. Lithography exposure tools are often the most expensive
in the wafer fab and therefore dominate miniaturization progress. Patterning of many layers in integrated circuit manufacturing requires a large number of exposure tools, resulting in high total costs for lithography equipment.
Once upon a time…the semiconductor industry was a very good business. Investments
to build fabs and develop technology were large, but there were equally large
potential returns as the consumption of chips grew at a rapid pace. There were
historic 'boom and bust' cycles but these tended to be short and a large company
could easily ride out the down years and continue to invest in development to
support the future up swings. It has been quite some time since the semiconductor
industry has experienced the profits and growth that had been enjoyed in the
past and this downturn is headed for record duration. Even though most semiconductor
manufacturers are experiencing low profits and are taking drastic 'survival'
actions to stay afloat, the advancement of technology development continues.
The rate of the advancement has been slowed, but it does continue. If the recovery
continues to languish the 'survival' actions may include severe cutbacks in
development funding which will further slow the pace of technology development.
If the past trend in circuit size reductions is to continue there must be continued
development in lithographic technology. But, lithography development faces severe
challenges to deliver the capability to produce reduced size features and increased
control year after year. At the same time it must do so at greatly reduced cost.
The question now becomes "What is the most cost effective method that allows
continued progress toward meeting the general roadmap goals?". The development
of EUV lithography has been, and will continue to be, a very costly endeavor.
There have been some delays in the development schedule and it is likely that
the delays will continue given the current economic situation. The development
of 157 nm lithography has also had its share of problems. Several key technology
issues remain to be solved for 157 nm to be used in manufacturing. The lack
of a pellicle solution is one of the more obvious issues that must be resolved.
The surfacing of immersion lithography as a potential solution adds to the
development options. However, it also divides the development efforts and dilutes
the overall effectiveness of this work. Immersion lithography has some very
attractive advantages but also requires a significant amount of work to solve
some basic engineering problems in a relatively short timeframe. If the problems
with immersion are not solved before the problems with 157 nm are worked out
then immersion lithography may be scuttled and all the effort to develop the
technology could be wasted. The converse is also true. As in most things, timing
is extremely critical.
This issue of Future Fab includes several articles that address the issues
associated with the future directions of lithography development. Prof. Bruce
Smith, et. al., from R.I.T provides an overview of immersion lithography theory
and the issues faced by the industry in implementing this technology. Dave Bergeron,
et. al. addresses the use of OPC to extend current lithographic systems to the
90nm node and beyond. Obviously many of the OPC methods discussed could also
be applied to immersion, 157 nm, and EUV equally well as the K1 factors shrink
in the future. Finally, an article on the impact of EUV mask defects on cost
and manufacturing logistics is explored by L. Litt et. al. The importance of
particulate defects on reticles has become highlighted for EUV since there is
no traditional protective pellicle material solution available for EUV use.
However, the principles of inspection and cleaning frequency scenarios can be
applied to any wavelength system to study and optimize manufacturing risk and
cost implications.
As the semiconductor industry slowly recovers from the economic downturn, it's
facing an accelerated technology roadmap and shortened product lifecycles. The
semiconductor manufacturer's challenge is to balance the time to introduce new
technologies with reasonable investment costs at minimized risk. Lithography
exposure tools are often the most expensive in the wafer fab and therefore dominate
miniaturization progress. Patterning of many layers in integrated circuit manufacturing
requires a large number of exposure tools, resulting in high total costs for
lithography equipment.
In order to follow the international technology roadmap for semiconductors
(ITRS) requirements for smaller dimensions adjustment of the whole lithographic
infrastructure, i.e. exposure tool, mask, photoresist, and process is required.
Traditionally, reducing the exposure wavelength has been the trend for the exposure
tools. Resolution enhancement techniques (RETs), like off axis illumination
(OAI), phase shifting masks (PSMs), and optical proximity correction (OPC) have
allowed extended usage of existing tools as cost effective solutions in manufacturing.
Due to the ever-reduced development cycles for each wavelength generation, more
drastic RET's are required to extend the working lifetime of exposure systems
and ensure sufficient technology maturity.
This issue of Future Fab International addresses RET's for future optical lithography
and gives an outlook on next generation lithography mask issues.
David Bergeron et al, describe tailored lithography strategies for the 90 nm
node and beyond with focus on device and interconnect levels. The interdependencies
of lithographic infrastructure are thoroughly investigated with respect to the
appropriate RET's. Exposure tool approaches include OAI for ArF and KrF; mask
methods are calibrated model-based OPC, weak and strong PSM's. A bi-layer resist
system was also used for thin film imaging. In collaboration with Synopsis and
Canon, Applied Materials proved the process capability in pilot integration.
Advanced RET's such as the Vortex PSM have also been explored, enabling near
optical-limit resolution.
Bruce Smith et al, describe the opportunities and challenges of water immersion
ArF lithography. By inserting a layer of liquid between projection lens and
wafer permits notably finer resolution than traditional lithography. This involves
only small changes in the optical train. Immersion lithography could be the
easiest way to push both ArF and F2 lithography into two additional device generations,
providing additional time for the solution of critical issues for upcoming imaging
technologies. Working prototype systems exist and issues are carefully examined.
Water is an attractive choice as immersion fluid for ArF mainly due to its optical
properties. A fundamental issue is the compatibility of water with lithographic
systems. These include imaging capability (e.g. polarization effects), fluid
properties (e.g. micro-bubbles), and photoresist interactions. Critical research
is economical and in cost estimations, several components like throughput must
also be considered.
As already adverted in the previous edition an outlook on extreme ultra violet
(EUV) lithography without pellicles is given by Lloyd Litt et al.. The inability
to use a pellicle is due to the membrane absorption at EUV. Inspection and cleaning
frequency requirements are examined on the basis of a cost of ownership (CoO)
analysis. By this outlook it is possible to anticipate many of the implications
for next generation lithography that can also be substantially transferred to
current practices. Ernst Richter Fab Cluster Site Representative, Infineon Technologies

A 750ml shared with some fellow BAs. A mountain of over carbonation. This one was a gusher. Smell is strange. Very strong oregano smell. Taste is a bit off-putting. Taste like a pizza. Nice (over) carbonation. I love Fantome but I am not sure I would reach for this one again. Beer and oregano don't seem to mix.

Weird. I mean really weird. I have drank almost every beer produced by Fantome. Most are odd, some are plain insane but this...this might just take the cake.
Pours a shiny orange with a bubbly white head and huge carbonation streams into a small wine glass provided kindly by the Brussels Marriott Renaissance. Bottle purchased at Beer Mania and consumed in August of 2008.
Aroma is like a tomato-basil wheat thin. Wet rice and thyme come next and then...rotten meat. Damn this is funky.
Taste is like a piece of day old pepperoni pizza that has been sitting on the cardboard box all night in a pool of stale natty ice that then melds with cotton mouth booze breath coming out of your mouth permeating over the lip you cut open getting bit while kissing a girl you can't quite remember.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied, creamy, almost...powdery with no hint of hops or alcohol.
Drinkability: um...well...uh...no. An experiment gone bad...then again, if you liked that gimmicky pizza beer, you will love this.

L`autre Oeil, with Mathieu. Bright orange colour and a bubbly head. here are carbonation like bubbles present, yet there is little carbonation. A little lace remains. I never thought vinegar would taste so great, so this is extreme beer that is not hopped up. I like oregeno in any case, and this was unique, drinkable, and worth seeking out for sour fans, yet it is not too sour.

Bottle: Poured a bright orangey color ale with a very light foamy head with no retention and some lacing. Aroma consists of a strange spice mix with some distinctive floral notes. Taste is one incredible mix between some floral notes with some barnyard notes as well as light sourness with a strange mix of spices. Full body with low carbonation and no alcohol is perceptible. I must admit I had lost faith recently in some Fantome beers but this just confirmed that they can still create some totally unique experience while retaining some drinkability. I can't say that I tasted the oregano thought.

Thanks to Huhzubendah for opening this one at the Fantome tasting. Served in a Fantome tulip.
Pours a hazy light golden color with a short white head. Light lacing. The nose has a very strong oregano component with some grain behind that. Not much though. Basically just the oregano with a bit of other spice. Flavor isn't quite as heavy on oregano. Light body. Strange, but good.

750ml bottle poured into a matching Fantome Tulip. This brew appears a clear golden yellow color. Very light hints of orange in the body with 2 fingers worth of creamy white fluff sitting across the top. The cap recedes leaving patches of lacework on the glass. A light swirl revives a finger of head back to the surface.
The smell of this brew is fresh like your kitchen spice cabinet just exploded. It is herbal and spicy with a bright character of something very familiar. I had no choice, I opened up our spice cabinet and went to the first thing I thought. Is that basil in this brew? Nope. How about oregano? Absolutely. The herbal aspect of oregano hits the nose with a little bit of a peppery quality as well. Collectively it forms in the nose with a brightness almost minty aspect somewhat like menthol. The expected saison yeast character of clovey quality is present but very much an afterthought. As the brew warms, it picks up a bit of cheesy funk.
The taste is fresh and herbal with oregano and a lighter flavoring of something that is almost cooling inside the mouth like mint or menthol. Even a hint of something vaguely reminiscent of spearmint gum is present. The yeast is present with a light peppery quality as well as a spice like cloves. The herbal contribution of oregano just persists from start to finish inside the mouth. While the character is loud and clear, I dont find it to be overbearing or distracting at all. In fact, in a really strange way I found this brew exceptional. I wonder how it would have paired with pizza. The finish is quite dry whih really ups the overall drinkability.
This is a medium bodied brew with a modest level of carbonation. If you enjoy fresh herbal spices (especially oregano) you will love this beer. The alcohol was seemingly nonexistent even after the brew exceeded ideal temperature. This was a solid offering in my opinion that was received with mixed emotions across the table when I shared it with friends. In a very cynical way, I'm glad the others didn't enjoy this so I could have a second full pour all to myself!

Sampled August 2010
A solid pour into my 25cl tulip glass produces an almost two-finger thick, pale tan colored head. The beer is an almost opaque honey color that shows a hazed, orange tinged, straw color when held up to the light. The aroma smells of herbal honey and wild flowers from a distance, but definitely smells of oregano when you take a sniff up close. It is still backed by a nice honey-like note that accentuates notes of ripe pears and juicy honey-dew melons. A deeper draft of the nose yields a huge, crystallized honey character that accentuates a huge sweetness at the end of the aroma; this contrasts nicely with the beginning of each smell that has that oregano almost savory character to it. As the beer warms up quite a bit the up front fruitiness becomes much more apparent, but still the expressive, crystallized honey note is buoyantly noticeable if you dig for it.
Quite a bit drier than the honey-rich nose suggested, but I was fully expecting this here, the beer also finishes with a light lactic tartness that seems to be just settling in. Dry, herbal honey-like notes up front meld into a savory, oregano character in the middle. The oregano manages to disappear for a short while in the near finish, but then comes back on quite persistently in the long, lingering finish. The carbonation on this beer is fairly low for a Belgian beer, much less a Fantome; it is certainly enough to couple with the light medium body though. This has very little if any hop character including no real bitterness; all of this sort of balance seems to be contributed by the oregano. Fruity flavors of Macintosh apples, subtle ripe pear, perhaps a hint of watermelon and some definite green apple are accentuated by various components of this beer.
The oregano was done pretty well here, while it is definitely distinct, it does not overwhelm the rustic Saison that makes up the base of this beer. I am continuously amazed by how intense the honey-like aromatics are in the nose; it makes me wonder how this character got here, is it purely from the fermentation character, does the oregano somehow play a role, and is there actually some honey used in the recipe to help this along (though this last alone would not be fully responsible for how intense this character is in the nose). This is another wonderful, fully rustic beer from Fantome, I can't wait to crack in to the other few bottles that I brought back from Belgium. I am really, really enjoying this beer right now; it isn't perhaps in the bowl me over class of beers, but damn this is one tasty brew. For some reason I like that this label has a whole section on the side for the date to be marked off on but hasn't been used at all :-)

From 11/05/11 notes. Bottle shared by Huhzubendah at the mega-Fantome tasting. Poured from a 750ml bottle into my Cigar City snifter.
a - Pours a transparent straw yellow color with two inches of whtie head and moderate carbonation evident.
s - Smells of oregano, spices, yeast, wood, earthy notes, musty and floral notes. It's crazy how much this smells like oregano; never had anything like it.
t - Tastes of oregano, pizza, spices, yeast, floral notes, light hay and funk, grass and earthy notes. Again, oregano dominates. Very interesting.
m - Medium body and low carbonation.
o - Overall a very unique beer; one of the craziest and most unique beers I've ever had. It smells and tastes just like oregano, and would be itneresting to have with some pasta or pizza. I don't think I could necessarily drink more than a few ounces of this one, but it was very cool to try.

Thanks Matt for adding to the crazy and thorough list of Fantome beers all sampled side-by-side at a recent Fantome tasting. Served in a Fantome tulip, this thing got USED.
Beer is yellow, hazy, lazy wispy head, small bubbles some lacing, moderate carbonation.
Aroma is like a pizza, oh there's oregano in this one? I would have never guessed, actually tha'ts all it smells like.
Beer is light and quite spicy in the sense that there is a lot of oregano in there. Very strong. The finish is a little dry, this was one of the "weird" ones there for sure, interesting but not a repeat for me. What's that? It's retired? OK, good.

Snatched the opportunity from Thorpe to share this at the Fantôme tasting yesterday, so I could at least throw one cool Fantôme brew into the mix.
Sampled alongside twenty other Fantôme beers.
The beer appears a hazy, golden yellow color, with a half inch or so of white head. The aroma is dominated by oregano. I can't say I have encountered a beer like this before.
Oregano takes center stage, and the beer has a flavor akin to pizza. This guy likes pizza, and Fleur de Bomal is well crafted, so I happen to enjoy this beer. On the other hand, this is definitely not for everyone. An odd beer for sure. Other saison characteristics are there (funk, yeast, fruit, floral notes, etc.), but are veiled behind an onslaught of oregano.
Light to medium in body with solid carbonation. Lingering herbal flavors on the palate.
Overall, a truly interesting and creative beer. I definitely recommend trying it, should you have the opportunity.

From a 750ml green bottle with crown cap and cork. Many thanks to Patrick.
Apperance: Orange beer with a tiny white foam. A small ring around the glass.
Smell: Aromas of honey mead are perceptible. Some rancio and oxidation.
Taste: Some spices and acidity. The oxidation is way too present.
Mouthfell: Medium-bodied and easy drinking.
Overall: This beer is going downhill. It has better days.

Appearance: Orange straw-golden pour, a bit hazy/murky, leaves behind some decent lacing.
Smell: Typical fantome, smells nearly identical to the regular saison, but with a bit of spice, oregano and basil. No more funky than the regular saison.
Taste: Damn near identical to the regular saison, but with what tastes like oregano on the finish. It is unique and enjoyable.
Mouthfeel: Standard fantome, near-full and near-creamy. Very good. I wish I had a piece of pizza to compliment it.
Drinkable: I love fantome Saison, and this is an interesting variation that I would drink again.
I have had this twice, the first bottle was substantially better than the second.

Gov 2023
Powerpoints come straight from book so dont get book. Class is boring but so easy. Only need to pay attention on review day b/c he goes over all ?s on test. On the 1st test we didnt do as good as he expected so he dropped that grade & made the next review & test easier. Only 2 test and a final (all non comprehensive)He wants everyone to make an A.
I took him for Texas Gov. and overall it was an easy class but very boring. He rambled about a lot of material that wasn't on the tests and then did a test review before a test. He even rambled during the test review. I studied all I could before his tests and managed to make an A. Would not recommend him unless you like to stressfully cram study.
Very sweet professor, wants everyone to succeed. Show up to class, especially review days, and it is an easy A
Dr. B is very informative and clear. He teaches exactly what is going to be on the test and he constantly lets you know what is going to be on the test. If you come to class and pay attention, you will do great. No need to get a text book in his Tx government survey course, he teaches from the powerpoint and lets you know what is exam material.
Dr. Belfiglio class is very laid soft spoken professor. Attendance is mandatory, show up for review days and you will easily pass the class.
Dr. B is very nice and his class is super easy. Unfortunately I felt like I was taking an independent study class. I didn't learn anything other than what I researched on my own. Take his class if you need to bump up your GPA, but not if you want to learn a lot.
Took his Gov of Western Europe class and learned nothing about Europe. He wanted to let the class decide how to weight the grades. I had to spend most of 4 class periods listening to people bicker over it. He spent most of a class shoving his anti gun control views down our throats. Repeats himself, never stays on topic, can't control the class.
Very nice professor. He tries to make his lectures interesting and easy to understand. He does test reviews, so definitely don't miss those review days.
always choose Dr. B!
SUPER EASY CLASS!! EASY A+!!! Nice teacher, but he repeats things and the class is boring. Bonus points on final for perfect attendance and proof of voters registration card. Tests are off of PowerPoints posted on Blackboard. Attend review days, because he literally goes through the test in front of you. GA responds to emails quickly!
colonel belfiglio is a wonderful teacher. he loves teaching and his students. he is very understanding if you have a hardship and doubly so if you are a fellow veteran. he emphasises voting and has democrasy in the class and holds great interactive discussions.very intriguing class.he makes boring topics fun.
SOOO sweet and such a nice guy! Good teacher and does what he can to give you a great grade. LOVE HIM!
Dr. B is a great teacher! If you're taking TX gov take this class. Pretty easy. Gives very thorough reviews before each test and answers any questions. Just pay attention to the reviews and you will easily pass.
Love Dr. B!!!
Monotone voice, but pretty easy going
I abslouletly adore this professor, he is a retired colonel in the army, he is a great teacher, and further more his is great and respectful towards his students, I hope that I could become half the man that he is. He has opened my mind and my eyes about what is going on in this world and we could use more teachers like him. Good job Dr. Belfiglio
Dr. Belfiglio is a great professor. I really liked his calm demeanor and his stories. I learned a lot about Texas government while in his class. I recommend taking his class.
Dr. B, a leading authority on ancient Rome, is an excellent professor who employs the socratic method thereby cultivating engagement in the classroom and encouraging a higher level of thinking. Dr. B genuinely cares for each of his students success, but if you do poorly in his class, it's because of YOU. All exam reviews are quite thorough, indeed.
Dr Belfiglio is an amazing professor who offers real life examples with his lessons. This is priceless! I've signed up for almost all his classes. Just get use to his style and then you can appreciate it more. He has ALOT to offer. Do yourself a favor and LEARN FROM HIM:@)
he was extremely boring. i dont know what he would talk about, so i wouldn't go to class, he gave out the test questions (essays) and then let you bring a note card. made an A!

What's goin' on, guys? I'm here to talk a little offense (not that I know much about it - haha).
I think there's a wide receiver on our team who's really gonna have a breakout year under Mike Martz and Jay Cutler's new system. His name is...
Devin's gonna be the receiver who has a breakout year. Really, all of our receivers are gonna do good things, because this offense we're running is so great. It's just straight-up receiver friendly. But Devin -- MAAAAAN -- I think he's REALLY gonna put together some incredible performances and be a lot of fun to watch.
Points will be scored this year - as in, LOTS of them - and I'm excited to see them be produced. Our main emphasis this offseason has been to UP our offense, and I think that's gonna happen. Devin - along with the rest of our guys - has only gotten better, which means that our scoreboard should get lit up even brighter than it has in previous seasons.

Unless one is a heartless so-and-so, of course it's a good use of firefighters' time. Well done to them, that's what I say - the fire brigade are a really caring and brave bunch of people. A beautiful bird is worth infinitely more than any amount of money - it's sad that there are some people who are evidently unaware of what the truly worthwhile things in life are.

In a word, yes. What other options are there? Let the bird dangle there until it dies with countless members of the public seeing it? Some may care if they see the bird suffer, some may not. Obviously if a more serious incident arose that required the attendance of the fire crew in question then they would be sent to it - technically known as a 'redirection'. It is also a known phenomena that if the fire service doesn't rescue trapped animals then often untrained members of the public will attempt a rescue sometimes with disastrous consequences - what would you rather Argus?
