Waterbom Park
Well worth the money
What we say:
It's not exactly a traditional Balinese activity, this business of climbing up a gazillion stairs to jump on a plastic water slide that takes your breath away as you slither down into lightly chlorinated water, but it's a lot of fun and Water Bom aces what it aims to do.
There are slides suited for parents carrying their two year olds and up, through to the petrifying Climax, which is a little like getting hanged but without the noose. As an added bonus, your legs will get a super workout from climbing all the stairs to get to the start of the slides.
Water Bom searches bags upon entry to make sure you're not taking your own food in, which may be a pain for people on strict diets, though stuff for really little kids will probably be let through. At least the offerings on the inside are decent enough: fast food, yes, but reasonably healthy with a good range of options, from Indonesian nasi goreng through to a very yummy range of pizzas and pastas.

Originally published in Interiors & Sources
LaGrange, GA - Milliken & Co., a carbon negative manufacturer, recently launched an Energy Conservation Initiative. The initiative focused on four action areas-People, Alternative Sources, Innovation and Green Building-to reduce energy consumption along with related emissions and water use.
The Milliken Energy Conservation Initiative was announced during Respect Our Earth Day, August 24, at Milliken Floor Covering in LaGrange, where proclamations from local and state officials acknowledged Milliken's sustainable practices. Georgia Power will provide a Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) to each employee making the Energy Star® pledge to switch from traditional light bulbs and is working with the company as the challenge expands statewide.
"Respect Our Earth is a philosophy championed by our chairman Roger Milliken for more than 65 years. He has inspired our company to make continual advances in reducing our impact on the planet," says Russell Grizzle, president, global floor covering division of Milliken & Co. "Today, we challenge ourselves, our associates and our communities to make a difference by lowering energy consumption."
Georgia industries and businesses used about half as much energy to produce each dollar of Gross State Product in 2004 as in 1984. During that same period consumption statewide still grew 76 percent and individual Georgians used 16 percent more energy per person. Milliken's Energy Conservation Initiative addresses four factors affecting consumption: 1) People - increases awareness among associates to change practices at home and work; 2) Alternative Sources - expands exploration of energy resources; 3) Innovation - applies technological advances to lower consumption; and 4) Green Building - registers company facilities with LEED®.
Moving forward, Milliken will expand energy conservation activities and become proactive with a complete energy audit at Milliken Floor Covering, which will result in reduced energy consumption, higher efficiencies, and a cleaner and greener operation. Milliken associates are joining the Energy Star Pledge with the CFLs provided by Georgia Power as the first step toward reduced consumption.
The company registered its corporate headquarters in Spartanburg and the Milliken Design Center in LaGrange with U.S. Green Building Council's LEED Rating SystemTM for Existing Buildings and its showroom in The Chicago Merchandise Mart with LEED 2.0 for Commercial Interiors earlier in the year.
Milliken Floor Covering, based in LaGrange, GA, is a business unit of Milliken & Co., headquartered in Spartanburg, SC. The company has generated zero waste from carpet manufacturing since 1999 and is contracted to use a minimum of 80 percent of the methane harvested from the local landfill. Milliken is the only company in Georgia and the textile industry to achieve Cleaner and GreenerSM/Health & Climate Care certification from the respected Leonardo Academy. Milliken Floor Covering has reduced energy and water consumption by more than 50 percent (per pound of product) since 1995, while increasing production. Go to www.sustainablecarpet.com to learn more.

Buffalo, N.Y. (WKBW release) -- U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul, Jr. announced Thursday that Gregory Szarpa, 60, of Sloan, who was convicted of receiving illegal gratuities as a public official, was sentenced to one year in prison and one year supervised release by U.S. District Court Judge Richard J. Arcara.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Edward H. White, who handled the case, stated that Szarpa was employed as an electrician and purchasing agent at the Department of Veterans' Affairs Hospital in Buffalo. Between 1992 and 2008, the defendant accepted gift certificates, gift cards, and cash totaling approximately $40,000 from sales agents with Lawson Products, Inc. Szarpa accepted these gifts for official acts performed, that is, the purchase of products on behalf of the VA Hospital from Lawson Products.

text: Teachers to warn of 'raunch culture' Print article Send a Tip AFP 4/1/2013 3:07:53 AM The National Union of Teachers was on Monday to hit out at the country's "raunch culture" which it claims is leading sexism to be "rebranded" as something fashionable.Teachers at the NUT's annual conference will criticise lap-dancing clubs and pole dancing, saying they were having a "disastrous effect on the self-image of girls," according to extracts released to the press.The conference will also be warned that "sexism and inequality are still a huge factor in shaping women's lives".NUT general secretary Christine Blower said: "It is important for all children and young people to learn, in an age-appropriate manner, about respect for their own and other people's bodies and emotions."This is all the more important given the rising levels of pornography which is very much in the public domain. There also continues to be a high rate of sexual harassment and homophobic bullying in society at large, despite efforts in schools to address and reduce it."

NHTSA upgrades investigation into Ford Freestar, Mercury Monterey rust issues
by Jeff Sabatini (RSS feed) on Apr 27th, 2012 at 6:31PM
If you are still stuck driving a prematurely rusty 2004 Ford Freestar or Mercury Monterey minivan, you have our deepest sympathies. But for all your suffering, you might still gain some small measure of satisfaction from Ford. Remember the investigation launched by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration last year? Well, the good news is that NHTSA has upgraded the issue to a full-fledged engineering analysis, according to The Detroit News. Specifically, the Feds are trying to figure out whether there's any difference between the 2004 models, vehicles that have engendered 22... Read More

So depending on what weight you looked at for my weight last week, I either gained 0.8 lbs or stayed the same. Since I logged my weight at 306.2, technically I gained 0.8 lbs. However, before I weighed in at 306.2 lbs, earlier in the morning, I had weighed in at 307 lbs and that is just what I was this morning. So it could go either way. None of that is important though, because my personal goal was to be at 302 this morning and I wasn't. I didn't make my 5% weight loss that I wanted to these first 4 weeks. I had a bad week and ate above my personally chosen calorie range. I still ate below the sparkpeople calorie range, but I have my own goals. I also didn't go to the gym at all and it's that time of the month. So I am just happy I didn't show a real weight gain. Since I weighed in at 307, I figure I am still about the same I was last week. Now it's time to buckle down and eat low in calories and go to the gym to try to make up for the weight I didn't lose this past week. And I'm gonna do it. Especially if I remained the same due to water retention or whatever else biologically is off due to my period, hopefully I can show a great weight loss next week and be back on track.
As for the competition with my friends, I believe I am still in the 2nd place. Since I didn't lose any weight this week and possibly gained, I am at 3.64% while my friend Shayna lost a total of 5% of her weight in the first 4 weeks. That was my personal goal for myself. Vivien hasn't weighed in for whatever reason, so it's hard to know exactly where she is, but I doubt she pulled ahead of me percentage wise.
Me: 3.64%
Shayna: 5%
Vivien: ?
On another quick note, here is something interesting. If you look at my previous blogs from when I first started SP and lost 50 lbs, my fourth week I did badly as well. So badly I skipped my weigh in. And if it weren't for this competition, I would have skipped my weigh in this morning too. I just think it is funny that I did horribly the fourth week last time and this time as well. Maybe a few weeks after getting started, I just need a mental break in order to build myself up again. I still tracked all my food. Every last morsel that went into my mouth. And though I saw the total calories for each day increasing, I didn't say "Screw it. I've already done bad today, I might as well just end the day with a bang." Nope, I still tried to make healthy choices even if it was taking me higher then I wanted to be. For example, on Thursday, I was already at like 1800 calories for the day. I went out to do karaoke with some friends and they wanted to go to Denny's afterwards. Part of my mind was telling me, "Get the burger. You already ate too much today anyway. Start fresh tomorrow." Instead of listening to that food addicted side of my mind, I ordered off the nutrition fact menu they have. I looked for the lowest caloried foods they have for the Build Your Own Grand Slam and chose the foods with the lowest calories. That is a proud moment for me, especially since I absolutely adore their double cheese burgers which are 1400 calories alone. Instead of giving in to myself, I still ate sensibly and enjoyed my evening.
So I lost 3.8 lbs this week. I am very happy about that. I was a little behind my personal goal and now to be where I want to be, I have to lose 3.6 lbs this week. If I don't make it, that's fine. I will be very close to my goal and that is what matters. I ate very well this week, however I skipped a gym day on Monday. I meant to make it up all week, but never made it. So far it seems relatively easy to make it to the gym on Wednesdays and Saturdays, but that might be because it is my day off from work. Since I want to go on Mondays, that one of the worse days of the week me for at work. I think I need to choose another day. Unfortunately, my son starts school in 3 weeks so the schedule will likely change again then because I will have to start waking up early to take him to school and since I prefer to go to the gym late at night, that's not going to be very easy.
In regards to my competition with my friends, I am still in second place. I kind of "lied" about my weight this week. I didn't exactly like I just used the higher weight. Typically I weigh in when I wake up for good on Sunday morning. However, yesterday morning I woke up earlier then usual to use the restroom so I weighed in and took a pic. It said 307. Then I went back to bed and when I woke up for good, I weighed in and it said 306.2. I told my friends I was 307 to let them think I am further behind then I am. I had been planning on fooling with them by not weighing in until after I eat breakfast or drink some water so my weight shows higher, but I think that might be a little much. So it just so happened that I woke up early so I decided to try it. Unfortunately because I have them on my facebook, I can't be honest about the total amount of weight I lose when I update my facebook with it each week. So I don't think I'll be doing it again.
Here is how it stands:
Me: 3.89%
Shayna: 4.16%
Vivien: 1.76% (she didn't lose anything this week...I am wondering if she is giving up)
So this week I lost 2.6 lbs. I was a little surprised and a little disappointed. I only went to the gym twice this week, but I did just as good as the first week. I keep trying to remind myself that I always lose more weight the first week probably due to water loss. I am still further along this time around then I was last time around. I did much better on 4th of July then I expected I would. I ate a lot of fruit for lunch so I didn't pig out on pizza, plus I drank a lot of water and one one can of soda(a weakness of mine).
My goal is to lose 5% of my body weight in the first 4 weeks. I am half way there at 2.69%. I plan to hit the gym 3 times this week and eat around 1500 calories each day. We'll see what my weight loss will be next week.
Now, for my competition with my friends. I am right in the middle. One of my friends gained weight this week so I got to get ahead of her but my other friend is still in the lead.
Me: 2.69%
Shayna: 3.30%
Vivien: 1.76%
Here we start another week and since I am late posting my blog, so far, I've already done great on my calorie intake. I was suppose to go to the gym tonight but didn't sleep well last night so I am tired and have a headache. I am looking forward to going to bed early tonight. I will make up not going to the gym later this week. It is not an option. It is a must. If I want to get ahead of the competition, I need to work out.
So I just did my first weigh in since beginning my new weight loss journey/competition. I am 6 lbs down. This is usual for the first week. I always lose at least 5 lbs in the first week and then the weight loss slows. I am ok with that. I am a little surprised because I didn't go to the gym at all this week. I just tracked my calories and made sure I stayed under 2000 calories each day. I barely made it yesterday. I was craving a double cheeseburger from Denny's. Since I refuse to deprive myself, which in the end would just leave me giving up, I went and only ate half of the burger. It was so delicious and definitely worth the calories. Now I am back on track and aiming to keep my calories around 1200 today because tomorrow my calorie intake will be high because I won't be home and will be dependent upon fast food and pizza. It's the fourth of the July and I will be at a pool party and won't be home until well after dark. It's ok. One day won't hurt me. Plus I can swim laps to help burn the calories I will be eating. Exercise, fun and good food. Who can complain?
In regards to my weight loss competition with my friends, we have upped the stakes to $500 jackpot. The two people who lose the least amount of weight have to pay the winner $250. So, that is even more motivation to lose weight. I refuse to pay anyone $250 for beating me. That is worse then the bragging rights that person will have. I wanna keep my money in my pocket and take their money!
Me: 1.88% of body weight lost
Shayna: 2.12% body weight lost
Vivien: 2.94% body weight lost
I may appear to be behind the rest, but I've got endurance on my side. I've done this for 5 months and succeeded before. Neither of them have. And this is just the first week. I'll let them get confident and then pull in the lead.
Now the second week begins!
I am starting over yet again. Two friends of mine(Vivien and Shayna) are starting our own biggest loser contest. We start today. We all weighed in and it will last until the Sunday before Thanksgiving. Whoever loses the highest percentage of weight wins money! Each loser has to pay the winner $100.00. We discussing upping the stakes, but it's undecided. So I have logged all my food and am planning on hitting the GYM tonight. I have drank nothing but water today so it's been a good day. A success.

The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
seeing my sister, Sarah, thrive. She is severely disabled, but despite this, she feels a part of something and valuable, important..wanted. For this I am eternally grateful.
More feedback
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
amazing..real people who don't make very much money, dedicated to caring and loving folks with some rather severe developmental disabilities who might not otherwise get an opportunity to interact in the community.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Have a food program that would allow clients an opportunity to shop, learn to develop personal skills in the kitchen, as well as ensuring all clients could enjoy a hot cooked meal daily. Art teacher, physical therapist, speech therapist...I could go on..
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

Southeastern Ohio Food Bank
In September 1996, Hocking Athens Perry Community Action opened the newly built Southeastern Ohio Regional Food Center in an effort to wage war against hunger in Appalachian Ohio.
Located at 1005 CIC Drive in Logan, Ohio, this unique, state-of-the-art facility houses two vital feeding programs for men, women and children throughout southeastern Ohio:
- Southeastern Ohio Food Bank
- Senior nutrition central kitchen
How does a food bank work?
Southeastern Ohio Food Bank is a large warehouse operation that receives surplus food donations from the government, major food manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers.
The food is distributed to charitable feeding organizations (food pantries and soup kitchens) throughout 10 counties in southeastern Ohio. Either these organizations can pick up the food or it can be delivered. Once delivered, the organizations distribute the food throughout their communities to those most in need.
The 10 county-service area includes:
Over 120 food pantries, soup kitchens and congregate meal sites in southeastern Ohio get the food they distribute from the Southeastern Ohio Food Bank. Our mission is to channel surplus food to those who do not have enough, with a goal of making a positive difference in their lives.
During the summer, the food bank has produce farmers markets where surplus fresh vegetables and fruits are given at no cost to income-eligible members of the community. This food is obtained through the Ohio Agricultural Clearance Program, which pays farmers for their surplus crops. This means that the farmers are paid and the hungry get healthy, fresh foods that might not be an option otherwise.
It is estimated that nearly 97 billion pounds of edible food are wasted each year by Americans, and that approximately 30 million Americans are in danger of going hungry.
Southeastern Ohio Food Bank has the resources to receive some of that edible food that would have otherwise been wasted, from growers, manufacturers, retailers and processors, in order to distribute it to local charitable agencies and to those struggling with food insecurity.
In 2010, the Southeastern Ohio Food Bank supplied over 7.5 million pounds of food to those on the front lines helping families meet their basic food needs.
Southeastern Ohio Food Bank is one of 196 Second Harvest Regional Food banks throughout the United States and Puerto Rico affiliated with the national organization Feeding America. The food bank also is one of 12 food banks affiliated with the Ohio Association of Second Harvest Food Banks (OASHF).
The mission of Feeding America and Ohio Association of Second Harvest Food Banks is to assist the nation and Ohio's food banks in providing food and other resources to people in need and to pursue areas of common interest for the benefit of people in need.
These entities help purchase and distribute surplus food from farmers and corporations, advocate to state and federal lawmakers and get the nation and Ohio involved in the fight against hunger.
Senior Nutrition Central KitchenThe senior nutrition central kitchen is a state-of-the-art facility providing the following food:
- Daily meals for our Meals-on-Wheels program to the homebound elderly and to three senior dining sites, two in Athens County and one in Hocking County;
- Fresh, nutritious meals for our Summer Feeding program; and
- Daily lunches and snacks for our six Head Start centers.
Our permanent staffs as well as work-study students from Hocking College and Tri County Adult Career Center prepare the meals.
Empty Bowls
It also plays a vital role in our Empty Bowls fundraiser, supplying the soup, desserts and other necessary items for the annual event to fight hunger!
Area potters donate handmade bowls for the annual event, which features soup, dessert and a drink for a $10 donation per person. The bowl is a keepsake to take home for people to remember to continue the fight against hunger throughout the year.

Upon arriving to MiG's dressing room, he gave a fair warning, "I always do things on live TV to embarrass myself.. but I'm kinda used to it. Stop me if I do!" Then I told him to just be himself and he'll be fine.
After his briefing, we're now on stand by, in 3.. 2.. 1..
And when he stood up, "here we go" I told myself..
..then there goes the lap dance. :)))
One of the best things everyone should know about MiG Ayesa besides he's insanely modest and cracking funny? He's full of surprises to blow your mind.
MiG meeting the three anchors of Bandila, Karen, Julius and Ces.
It's been fun! Thank you to the staff and crew of Bandila.

Oh Myyy! (There Goes The Internet) (edition 2012)
by George Takei
Work details
Oh Myyy!: There Goes The Internet by George Takei
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Written in George's witty and biting style, this is a fun(ny) and interesting read about social media (namely Facebook and Twitter), and for better or worse, how we are synergistically connected via and to this web. As a communications major, I really wanted to know what a septuagenarian, who is more like the common variety social media user like the rest of us (rather than a techie) had to say about the matter.
As a screen icon, he relates how his posts reach and affect millions worldwide. In reading, I thought and agreed that as social media authors (yes, us regular folk and mere mortals), we bear the same standard of responsibility and accountability as is related in this book. Of course, we would never hope to reach such a vast audience. Nonetheless, I've seen carelessly tossed out comments, scathing remarks, and unvalidated shares of others' negative posts, as though the person posting held some misguided belief that social media granted some form of invincibility.
Social media = Social responsibility
This is an easy read, and fun if you're a George Takei fan - either through 'Star Trek' or cat memes.
Some of this book seems to be an
I think he shows some real insight in to the LGBT problems of our era and manages to reconcile himself nicely with being a actor - but also a ACTIVIST - which coming from many celebrities sounds pretentious and all I want them to do is shut up.
But George Takei seems to be the genuine article. He cares for his fans and he has his passions that he won't apologize for. This is an easy book that's well worth the read. (Especially if you can get it for free on your Amazon Prime account for the Kindle. :>)
As a fan of George Takei on Facebook (though, who isn't these days?) I couldn't wait to read his book. It didn't disappoint. It provided a deeper look into the fascinating life of the 75-year-old gay man who dominates the internet today. It was funny, it was interesting, it was insightful. I learned more about the man himself as well as his take on the internet as it exists today. I found myself telling my husband each night over dinner about the latest thing Uncle George wrote about, so while that makes me a dork it does prove the book is engaging! I admit (as I've seen other people complain) that some of the images were hard to read but be honest - we all already saw them on his Facebook page so it's not a dealbreaker.
I don't use star ratings, so please read my review!
(Description nicked from B&N.com.)
"In this groundbreaking, hilarious and informative book, Takei recounts his experiences on platforms such as Twitter, YouTube and Facebook, where fans and pundits alike have crowned him King. He muses about everything from the nature of viral sharing, to the taming of Internet trolls, to why Yoda, bacon and cats are such popular memes. Takei isn't afraid to tell it like he sees it, and to engage the reader just as he does his legions of fans.
Both provokingly thoughtful and wickedly funny, Oh Myyy! captures and comments upon the quirky nature of our plugged-in culture. With Takei's conversational yet authoritative style, peppered with some of his favorite images from the web, readers should be prepared to LOL, even as they can't help but hear his words in their heads in that unmistakable, deep bass."
Okay, I admit it: I'm a follower of George Takei on Facebook. His posts almost always get me to smile, even on the roughest of days, and his staunch stance on issues that are important to him is admirable. In this book he explores the same question that I'm sure many have asked themselves: how did an aging science fiction actor become one of the most definitive voices on the internet?
The answer to that question seems to be that it happened by happy accident. Even Takei himself expresses some disbelief at how things have fallen out. At the same time, he also never fails to express his gratitude at the opportunities that he's been given as a result. He's also warm in his praise of his fans and followers, people who may not always agree with him, but with whom he always hopes to engage in a positive manner. Of course, he doesn't ignore the trolls, those for whom the internet is a place to incite anger and hostility, but he talks about them with humor as well.
Since Takei is most active on Facebook, most of his musings on social reach and popularity focus on that platform. There is some discussion of Twitter, the site where he first began to be popular, but mostly his turns his thoughts to the way things propagate on Facebook and how the site actually works. He doesn't shy away from criticizing things about the site that he thinks could be improved, but he's not shy giving praise where he thinks it is due.
Not all of the book is about such weighty matters. He talks about the prevalence of cats on the internet and about why they're so popular, opining that one of the reasons may be because when they fail, they fail epically. He touches on the subject of bacon, and mentions how he can't see a sign with wavy lines on it without thinking of bacon. There's a chapter on the Mayan apocalypse and why we're all so obsessed with the end of the world.
Is this a book that's going to make a profound change in your life? No. Is this a book that's going to impart wisdom and learning? No. Is this a fun read by the internet's most fun senior citizen? Hell yes! Takei calls himself the naughty gay Asian uncle that everyone wishes they had, and I can't argue with that characterization. Oh Myyy!is savvy, straightforward, and funny... just like its author.
I tend to avoid celebrity "books" because they just come across as self-promotion to me. I read to be entertained. I decided to buy this one because it seemed like it would be a light-hearted riff on the absurdity of life, much like Takei's Facebook page is. Happily, that is pretty much what this is. The book reads a lot like an online blog: Takei's views on the internet, cats, Facebook, his activism, and his own astonishment at how popular he has become.
The book chronicles how Takei came to be so dominant on social media, mainly through Facebook and the power of memes. It's a light, easy read with humorous anecdotes and pictures sprinkled throughout. He doesn't spend too long on any one topic, and I did learn a few things while reading. His chapter on the inner-workings of Facebook with regards to "edge rank" and algorithms was very eye-opening.
On the flip-side, while it is an easy read, the book is also very easy to put down. I stopped about half-way through because I got busy with other things and didn't return to it for over a week. I found it enjoyable, but not a "must-read" that you just can't put down. It has inspired me to check out books by other celebs with a similar social engagement. I think perhaps Ellen DeGeneres ' book might be worth looking into! Overall, Oh Myyy! is definitely worth the purchase.

All six winners of the Order of Lincoln, the state's highest award, have ties to the Quad-Cities area.
The 60-member Lincoln Academy announced the award winners Tuesday at Augustana College. They are Brenda Barnes, William Hammer, Dr. Timothy Johnson, Robert Lane, Robert Ontiveros and Chad Pregracke.
The awards are"given to those who have spent a significant portion of their lives in Illinois or were born in the state, and those who embody the principles of our 16th president," Lincoln Academy president Julie Kellner said.
Winners are chosen in any of 10 categories -- agriculture, the arts, business, education, government and law, labor, medicine and science, religion, social services and sports.
More than 300 people have received the Order of Lincoln Award since the Lincoln Academy was established in 1964 by former Gov. Otto Kerner.Past winners include Studs Terkel, former President Ronald Reagan, and The Joffrey Ballet, the only organization to receive the award.
Gov. Pat Quinn will present the 2013 awards at a dinner and ceremony on April 13 at Augustana, the first time since 1973 the ceremony has been in the Quad-Cities. The ceremony at Centennial Hall is free and open to the public. Tickets to the dinner are $200, and proceeds will benefit the Student Laureate Award Program, funding grants of $1,000 per student winner.
The winners are:
-- Brenda Barnes, former CEO of Sara Lee and a 1975 graduate of Augustana College. Listed by Forbes magazine in 2008 as one of the "most powerful women in the world," she was president and CEO of PepsiCo and is on the board of directors for Avon, The New York Times, LucasFilm and Augustana College.
-- William Hammer, discoverer of the first dinosaur unearthed in Antarctica and holder of the Fritiof Fryxell Chair in Geology at Augustana College. His 1991 discovery ofCryolophosaurus, a large, theropod dinosaur, helped advance understanding of tectonic shift and evolutionary biology.
-- Dr. Timothy Johnson, former medical editor for ABC News, an ordained minister and 1958 graduate of Augustana College. Dr. Johnson won the National Collegiate Oratory Championship as an Augustana student and later wrote a memoir called "Finding God in the Questions".
-- Robert Lane, president and CEO of Deere & Co, from 2000 to 2009. He led the way for global expansion in China, India and Brazil, upgrading and modernizing factories. He is responsible for doubling revenues at Deere and contributing to the Illinois economy.
-- Bob Ontiveros, founder and owner of Milan-based Group O, the largest Hispanic company in the country. Group O is a marketing services and packaging company. Mr. Ontiveros played key roles in establishing the Greater Quad Cities Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and both Boys and Girls Clubs of the Mississippi Valley.
-- Chad Pregracke, founder of Living Lands and Waters. The East Moline native founded the organization in 1998 to clean up the Mississippi and Illinois rivers and their tributaries. The operation has grown to include additional rivers, 13 vessels and thousands of volunteers that have collected more than six million pounds of debris in 14 years.

BUFFALO, NY ( release) Statewide campaign aimed at building public support for key legislative priorities including property tax cap, ethics reform and marriage equality
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today continued his "People First Campaign" at Buffalo State College, where he outlined his legislative priorities and told Western New Yorkers that their voices must be heard in order to get Albany to act on these key reforms.
Last week, Governor Cuomo announced that he and his senior staff would tour the state in order to speak directly to the people of New York about, among other issues, creating a property tax cap, cleaning up Albany by passing ethics reform and passing a marriage equality bill. Governor Cuomo said that all of these issues must be addressed during the current legislative session and asked New Yorkers to call their legislators and urge them to act.
"Our entire team is traveling across the state, speaking directly to New Yorkers in Buffalo and beyond about the issues that can move this state forward," Governor Cuomo said. "We need to pass a property tax cap, ethics reform, and marriage equality during this legislative session and time is short. When the people speak, politicians listen and react accordingly. It is time to collectively speak up and make this the Empire State once again"
The Governor's People First campaign focuses on three specific legislative priorities:
Property Tax Cap:
New Yorkers pay among the highest property taxes in the nation, forcing families to sell their homes and move out of state. Massive property tax increases also discourage businesses from investing and creating jobs. In the last decade, property taxes have increased a staggering 73 percent – that's twice the rate of inflation.
Governor Cuomo has proposed a comprehensive tax cap that would control property taxes. Under his plan:
* Local school districts and governments could only raise property taxes each year by 2 percent or the rate of inflation, whichever is less.
* All governments would be included under this plan, and few exemptions would be allowed.
* Local communities and local voters would retain control, however, and could override the cap. For school boards it would require a 60 percent vote on the budget, and for non-school boards it would require a two-thirds vote of the responsible legislative body.
Ultimately, the property tax cap would give much-needed relief to New York taxpayers and encourage local governments and school districts to be more efficient and make the most of their resources.
Andrew Rudnick, President and CEO of the Buffalo Niagara Partnership said, "Runaway taxes are suffocating businesses, hampering job growth, and driving people away from Western New York. The Governor's tax cap plan puts New Yorkers first, and will force governments to find efficiencies. We can choose the right direction, which is a cap that helps New Yorkers and reverses a statewide downward spiral, or we can maintain the status quo. We want change and we fully support Governor Cuomo."
Ethics Reform:
New York State government used to be a symbol of integrity and performance, but we have lost that standard. To clean up the government and restore trust with New Yorkers, we need to pass a new ethics law that mandates transparency and full disclosure as well as a law that calls for a real independent monitor.
Among many reforms the Governor's ethics reform agenda would:
* Require disclosure of clients doing business with the state that are represented by legislators before the state and disclosure of how much they get paid.
* Require the creation of an independent body to provide oversight and enforcement of ethics rules because, as we have seen in the past, self-policing does not work.
* Require lobbyists to disclose any business relationship with legislators in excess of $1,000.
* Strip pensions from those public officials convicted of a felony related to the abuse of their official duties.
Marcia Merrins, President of the New York State League of Women Voters, ""For years the League of Women Voters advocated for an empowered independent entity to enforce ethics rules in NYS for lobbyists, public officials and candidates. There should be penalties for bad behavior that should be sufficient to compel full disclosure and dissuade activities that are unethical under NYS laws. We applaud Governor Cuomo's measures to bring ethics back to Albany. The League will continue to advocate for this until citizens are protected from misdirected candidates, lobbyists, and public officials."
Marriage Equality:
Despite our state's proud tradition as the progressive capital of the nation, on the issue of marriage equality, New York has sadly lagged behind. While gay and lesbian New Yorkers can drive to Massachusetts or Connecticut to be married, such marriages are not permitted in New York. In the face of New York's failure to act and to lead, states like New Hampshire, Iowa, Vermont and the District of Columbia have all recognized the importance of marriage equality and now allow same-sex couples to marry.
Governor Cuomo has repeatedly said that it is time to for our state to retake our leading role in guaranteeing equal rights for all. This is about civil rights and equality. Denying marriage to all undermines the very dignity and legitimacy that our state routinely provides to other couples.
Barring marriage equality denies same-sex couples and their families over 1,000 federal and 700 state rights that are afforded to millions of New Yorkers. For instance, spouses have hospital visitation rights and can make medical decisions in the event of illness or disability. Employers offer spouses sick leave, bereavement leave as well as access to health insurance and pensions. Also, the law provides certain rights to a person's spouse regardless of whether or not a will exists. None of these rights exist for same-sex couples in the absence of marriage.
The Assembly has passed marriage equality legislation in previous legislative sessions but in 2009, the bill failed to pass the Senate.
Kitty Lambert, President of OUTspoken for Equality, said, "As Governor Cuomo has said, marriage equality is a fundamental civil rights issue. The majority of New Yorkers support it – and it is time for Albany to listen to the people. We are proud to be a part of the Governor's coalition to bring real change to this state, and bring it now, so that all New Yorkers can enjoy equal benefits, rights and recognition."
Governor Cuomo has repeatedly indicated that for real reform to occur in New York, he must make his case directly to the people of the state. Explaining the issues and maintaining an open dialogue allows New Yorkers to form an opinion, organize, and make Albany act.
Senator Mark Grisanti said, "I am proud that Governor Cuomo has once again come to Buffalo to discuss his priorities. His visible presence in Western New York shows that he is attuned to the issues most important in our region and I applaud his bringing his message of reform directly to the people. I look forward to working with his administration to make our state a better place to live and work."
Assemblyman Sam Hoyt said, "Governor Cuomo's leadership in just a few months has already improved how New York state operates. His bold agenda is one that Buffalo residents and businesses have been calling for for years. It is past time for New York to once again thrive and be a progressive leader of the nation. And, it is time for the Legislature to get to work to pass these important measures. I thank Governor Cuomo for coming here today and look forward to helping him put this plan into action."
Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown said, "We are always honored to host Governor Cuomo in Buffalo. His work on behalf of the people of the state has been nothing short of exemplary so far and New Yorkers can share in a sense of reassurance that his momentum is continuing. From where we sit in Western New York, we have witnessed with shame and astonishment the lack of action in Albany and the dysfunction that has led to legislative paralysis. It is time to change this practice and bring in an era of accountability to our state government. I am proud to call the Governor a partner and look forward to continuing to work with him."
Buffalo State College President Aaron Podolefsky said, "Buffalo State College is delighted to host Governor Cuomo on his People First campaign. New York state is fortunate to have a governor that is so engaged and willing to take his message of reform directly to the people. The notion of the People First campaign is noble and we are proud to have him as a part of our community."

Organizers who think marriage should be between a man and a woman also held an event in Buffalo today, in response to the Governor's message.
"Mayday for Marriage" Tour Makes Buffalo Stop
Buffalo, NY -( release) After stopping in Chemung, Livingston, Ontario, Saratoga, and Madison Counties, the "Mayday for Marriage" tour makes its most recent appearance in Erie County. Authentic marriage advocates and local clergy appeared in front of State Senator Mark Grisanti's district office (Walter J. Mahoney Building, 65 Court Street, Buffalo) on Thursday, May 12, at 12:00 PM.
A coalition of concerned citizens from the region was present to participate in the "Mayday for Marriage" event organized by New Yorker's Family Research Foundation. The stop was in support of the authentic definition of marriage between one man and one woman.
The event featured speakers including:
Rev. Jason J. McGuire, President, New Yorker's Family Research Foundation
Rev. Duane Motley, Senior Lobbyist, New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms
Rev. Kevin M. Backus, Ph.D., Pastor, Bible Presbyterian Church, Grand Island
Rev. Dr. William Gillison, Pastor, Mount Olive Baptist Church, Buffalo
Participants urged State Senator Mark Grisanti (R-Buffalo),
Assemblymember Robin Schimminger (D-Kenmore),
Assemblymember Crystal Peoples-Stokes (D-Buffalo),
Assemblymember Sam Hoyt (D-Buffalo) and all New York elected officials to remember the importance of the marriage issue.
Rev. Motley said, "Elected officials should not think they can redefine marriage without there being lasting implications for future generations. Neither should elected officials think this is an issue voters will have forgotten by the 2012 election."
"From the creation, God unalterably established the institution of marriage. He repeatedly reaffirmed that it was to be between one man and one woman. He alone has the right to change its definition. Societies that have undermined the traditional family have found those experiments to fail miserably. We are thankful for senators who have humbly recognized that such a change is beyond their authority and contrary to the public welfare. We pray for more who will have the courage to join them," said Rev. Backus.
Rev. Gillison offered these words, "For too long the gay-rights movement has co-opted the African-American Civil Rights Movement. Don't talk to me about civil rights. Don't tell me about oppression and lack of representation. Don't hijack my history to advance your political purposes. Holy matrimony is a union between a man and a woman. I urge elected officials to do the right thing."
The tour is crisscrossing the state, culminating in an Albany rally outside the State Capitol on Tuesday, May 24.

Four Add-ons Planned For Sins of a Solar Empire
Soulskill posted about 6 years ago | from the a-quantum-of-content dept.68
With the first add-on pack for Sins of a Solar Empire arriving in just under a month, publisher Kalypso Media has announced that three more add-ons are on their way as well. Gamespot has an early look at the first add-on, Entrenchment, and a couple of additional screenshots are available at Shacknews. The game's creative director, Craig Frazer, also explained their reasoning for making small expansions rather than large ones: "If PC gaming is to survive, the industry will need to be open to change. We went out on a limb with our anti-DRM stance and it paid off really well. We tried an unusually long beta period and that worked as well. Micro-expansions are just another experiment we are trying out to improve the market. These small expansions give us the opportunity to provide highly focused, high quality content within a reasonable time frame. Micro-expansions also reduce the development risk associated with 1-3 year cycles. With lower risk, we can be far more progressive in terms of gameplay and content."

Amarr Frigate bonuses (per skill level):
Ship Attributes
The Executioner is the Amarr fast frigate and the first step up for Amarrian pilots after the Impairor.
Further information about additional or recommended skills to pilot Executioner for a specific or it's common role(s) can be written here.
PvE Mission Basic
Dual Modal Pulse Laser I
Dual Modal Pulse Laser I
Dual Modal Pulse Laser I
1MN Afterburner I
Monopulse Tracking Mechanism I
Cap Recharger I
Damage Control I
Small Armor Repairer I
200mm Reinforced Titanium Plates I
Optimal Range Script x1
Multifrequency S x3
Standard S x3
Radio S x3
- A basic set-up, useful for running level 1 missions.
- With low fitting skills you'll drain your cap in under 2 minutes running the armor repairer, but since the Executioner can hit 900m/s with the AB permanently running, you shouldn't need it too often.
- With all skills at V and before fleet boosts, this ship has 3.2 K EHP, flies at 1153 m/s (1473 m/s with AB overheated) and align in 4.5 s (3.2 s with AB off). The capacitor will last for 2 min 42 s.
- Damage is 73 dps at 3.4 + 2.3 km with Multifrequency crystals
- Don't forget to bring a Tracking Speed Script to help with fast frigates and drones
200mm AutoCannon II
200mm AutoCannon II
200mm AutoCannon II
Limited 1MN Microwarpdrive I
Warp Disruptor II
Medium Shield Extender II
Damage Control II
Overdrive Injector System II
Overdrive Injector System II
Small Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I
Small Anti-Thermal Screen Reinforcer I
Small Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I
Republic Fleet EMP S x1
- Autocannons due to lack of CPU
- Can swap for speed/agility rigs
- Downgrade to meta where necessary (due to skills of cost)
- Can swap disruptor for scram
Solo PvP
Small Focused Pulse Laser II
Small Focused Pulse Laser II
Small Focused Pulse Laser II
1MN Afterburner II
J5b Phased Prototype Warp Scrambler I
Fleeting Propulsion Inhibitor I
Damage Control II
200mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plates I
Small Ancillary Armor Repairer
Small Auxiliary Nano Pump I
Small Auxiliary Nano Pump I
Small Ancillary Current Router I
Scorch S x1
Conflagration S x6
Imperial Navy Multifrequency S x6
Nanite Repair Paste x1
- Get inside scram range and kite your opponents out with scorch. The Executioner is an attack frigate rather than a combat frigate so your speed should be higher than everthing that isn't another attack frigate or nano/overdrive fit, allowing you to keep out of the other frig's range.
With three mid slots and cap cost reduction on scrams, points and webs, and being the fastest of the Amarr frigates to begin with, the Executioner is a prime fast tackle for Amarr pilots. Be careful how you tank it, though: it can't match the armor tanking capabilities of the Tormentor or Punisher, so you're much safer fitting for speed than bulk.
This vessel qualifies for the University Ship Replacement Program, PYOS, and BYOM.

To start with my email is fordbuilttough1990 so as you can tell I\'m a Ford fan. Before I was born in 91, my parents bought their first vehicle together. One day while at the feed store they saw a green 1990 F-250 4×4 for sale with the big block 460. According to mom the truck was at a discounted price because it had been on a train in Washington State when Mt. St. Helens erupted and was covered in ash. Somehow it made its way down to Mathis TX about 35 miles north of Corpus Christi. The first thing after they bought the new truck they went mudding!
After I came around the truck needed a name so we called it Big Green No Name. For years we used that truck and everybody new us by the truck that my dad drove. All my life growing up my dad use to tell me that if I could get a chain to the moon then he could pull it with that truck! One day he got a chance to prove it. (We own our own family farm and have for 5 generations.) So one day about 6 or 7 years ago having just gotten an old 1980\'s Ford 9000 to haul our grain in, something happened to it and about 3 1/2 miles from our barn it stopped going. My dad couldn\'t leave it in the middle of the road! So he hooked it up to Big Green No Name and began to pull, he pulled it all the way to the barn up an incline, and parked it in the barn yard. Only the next day did we find out that the weight of the rig was over 91,000 lbs! About a year later dad parked the truck and about a year after that I remodeled it. It\'s now maroon with a black flatbed and I still pull eighteen wheeler trailers of hay with it from time to time. I added waterproof speakers to the outside of the bed and chrome rims. At over 330,000 miles it\'s still running strong, but I\'m thinking about changing out the engine to a diesel for better mileage and just for fun.
My dad passed away in December of 09 so it gave the truck a even more sentimental value. I hope to keep the truck in the family and my goal is to hit 1,000,000 miles eventually.
P. S. We have 8 fords on our farm! Fordbuilttough!

Sherlock watches Doctor Who 3/?
Head canon: Lestrade is secretly an actor with the stage name 'Rupert Graves'
This is the last one until series 7 ok, promise.
Angels and Demons/Superlock AU
I may be on the side of the angels, but don't think for one second that I am one of them.
Sherlock watches Doctor Who 1/?
I like to think that Sherlock just sort of sits there on on Saturday nights shouting at the plot holes.
I'm a bit unsure about a few of the characters (John, Molly, Mycroft) so if you have any suggestions. Or suggestions for more characters then inbox me and I'll try to make it :)

Experts divided over cyber-terrorist threat
Summary: Senior US government and military figures claim the security threat to critical national infrastructures is high, but experts disagree over the success of cryptography in countering this threat
Security experts are divided over the best way to address cyber threats to critical national infrastructures — the computer systems that control essential services such as gas, water, and electricity.
At the RSA Conference in San Francisco on Tuesday, US homeland security secretary Michael Chertoff said it was a certainty that such infrastructures faced increased threats from hackers. Some security experts have responded by claiming cryptography is sufficient in securing the networks in question, but others have suggested the networks are not impenetrable.
"Cyber attacks are not a theoretical possibility or even a remote probability — it's a no-brainer that there is [increased threat]", said Chertoff. His words echoed those of the president of the Institute for Defense Analysis, retired general Larry D Welch, who told ZDNet.co.uk at the Cyber Warfare Conference 2008 in London last week that the threat to military and critical national infrastructure networks from terrorist or government incursions was "very serious".
"We've seen probing of aircraft control systems, probing of electrical grids," said Welch. "You can't say when or what will happen, but the potential consequences make it a very serious threat. Shutting down the infrastructure at the right time can be devastating — shutting down the natural gas infrastructure in the northern states in winter, or shutting down the traffic-light system in a city in rush hour, [for example]. Threats to banking and finance could cause substantial losses."
Also at the Cyber Warfare Conference last week, a senior figure in the US Air Force told ZDNet.co.uk that the US needed to create great cyberattack capabilities of its own, rather than relying on network defence. However, at this week's RSA Conference, Sun's chief security officer Whitfield Diffie questioned that idea, arguing that cryptographic network defence was working.
"We have had remarkable success in cryptography," said Diffie at a forum session at the conference in San Francisco. "The security of cryptographic systems seems, as a practical matter, to have been resolved. On the other hand, internet security is a complete mess.
Bruce Schneier, chief security technology officer for BT, agreed that securing the internet was a more major problem than...
