2005 Nissan Altima • 100,000 miles
I have a 2005 Nissan Altima 2.5 S. I very recently (1 month ago) had to replace the engine because of bent pistons and stuff. The older engine was 100k miles run and the replaced engine is 79K miles run. The problem is - when I drive and the needle in tachometer crosses 1500 rpm I hear a rattling noise. This noise does not occur before or after 1500 rpm. It occurs exactly on that mid line between 1000 and 2000 rpm. What could be the problem here. Let me know if you need more details please.

Could be exhaust part(or other) that is triggered to vibrate at a certain rpm.
Thank you. So does it mean I dont have to worry about the noise. Is it intentionally triggered to vibrate or do I need to fix it? Please give me details on this.

Recently I was on a short city trip to Madrid.
When I prepared for the trip I was looking for a hotel with a swimming pool, as Madrid can be hot in September.
I choose the hotel on the basis of a photo like the first photo. I took this photo myself. The first photo is a crop of the second photo. I used a booking portal (OTA) to search and book the hotel.
When you look at the first photo, like me, you are likely to book the hotel if it features prominently on the booking site….When you look at the second photo, like me, You are unlikely to swim in this swimming pool ever with all those eyes that can peek at you from the surrounding high rises.
That is why I post this in the Zen category with the "Nothing Zen" connotation: With all the technique of Internet progressing and helping I still feel strong that you should watch your back and watch out for conman trying to lure you into something you do not want. Lucky for us it was too cold in Madrid to care for a swim and lucky for us the hotel had other amenities that fitted us well during this stay.
This herring eater statue is located at the Scheveningen beach. It portraits perfectly how the Dutch like to eat their herring: Raw and after the grates have been taken out the tail is left on and then they grab the herring by the tail and let it glide into their mouths. Just to remember summer seems over.
One way , the one with the shoe, I've shared already with you, but now I've a few more for you:
and more.
Always handy to know. Especially the blow torch one intrigues me so much I'll have to try it out once.
No mention of private Manning in the news anymore. Bradley Manning was sentenced to 35 years in prison because he leaked to the (in)famous Wikileaks. A Year ago a request was lodged for a presidential pardon. I believe it's time President Obama takes a decision.
In the meantime Bradley has publicly announced he wants to change gender and be renamed as Chelsey.
The decisions that I made in 2010 were made out of a concern for my country and the world that we live in. Since the tragic events of 9/11, our country has been at war. We've been at war with an enemy that chooses not to meet us on any traditional battlefield, and due to this fact we've had to alter our methods of combating the risks posed to us and our way of life.
I initially agreed with these methods and chose to volunteer to help defend my country. It was not until I was in Iraq and reading secret military reports on a daily basis that I started to question the morality of what we were doing. It was at this time I realized that (in) our efforts to meet the risk posed to us by the enemy, we have forgotten our humanity. We consciously elected to devalue human life both in Iraq and Afghanistan. When we engaged those that we perceived were the enemy, we sometimes killed innocent civilians. Whenever we killed innocent civilians, instead of accepting responsibility for our conduct, we elected to hide behind the veil of national security and classified information in order to avoid any public accountability.
In our zeal to kill the enemy, we internally debated the definition of torture. We held individuals at Guantanamo for years without due process. We inexplicably turned a blind eye to torture and executions by the Iraqi government. And we stomached countless other acts in the name of our war on terror.
Patriotism is often the cry extolled when morally questionable acts are advocated by those in power. When these cries of patriotism drown out any logically based dissension, it is usually the American soldier that is given the order to carry out some ill-conceived mission.
Our nation has had similar dark moments for the virtues of democracy — the Trail of Tears, the Dred Scott decision, McCarthyism, and the Japanese-American internment camps — to mention a few. I am confident that many of the actions since 9/11 will one day be viewed in a similar light.
As the late Howard Zinn once said, "There is not a flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people."
I understand that my actions violated the law; I regret if my actions hurt anyone or harmed the United States. It was never my intent to hurt anyone. I only wanted to help people. When I chose to disclose classified information, I did so out of a love for my country and a sense of duty to others.
If you deny my request for a pardon, I will serve my time knowing that sometimes you have to pay a heavy price to live in a free society. I will gladly pay that price if it means we could have a country that is truly conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all women and men are created equal.
Via the Manning Support site.
Maybe an off topic but still interesting question: If a male is sentenced, can the same sentence be enforced upon a female when the male has changed gender?

The Local 88 maximum dues per month are currently capped at $65.80 ($32.90 per paycheck). This maximum amount is indexed to the maximum dues of the national AFSCME organization and each year a calculation is done to see if the national average wages of all 1.6 million AFSCME workers has increased. In 2014, there was a small national increase. This means that starting with the January 31, 2015 paycheck there will be a maximum dues cap increase of $0.65 ($0.33 per paycheck), and the new maximum dues per month will be capped at $66.45 ($33.22 per paycheck). This ONLY affects employees who have reached the maximum dues amount each month. The majority of members will see no increase in dues, which remains at 1.4% of base wages, as outlined in the Local 88 Constitution.

Local 88 Vote Ratifies Contract!
I am pleased to announce the Local 88 tentative agreement with Multnomah County passed with a 94% approval in this week's vote. Facing challenging weather conditions, many Local 88 members visited ballot box sites to vote on ratification of the tentative agreement reached with Multnomah County leadership for a three year contract.
There were ballot boxes available at various sites and times on Thursday & Friday with sites open as early as 7:15 a.m. and as late as 7:00 p.m. Many members braved freezing rain to get to a voting site on Thursday during the day or on their way home. Friday voting was a bit easier including ballot boxes at the Central Library and Multnomah Building which were available all day.
Our ballot box volunteers did an outstanding job to get to the voting sites, even in East County where the weather took a nasty turn. I am truly grateful for their dedication to the union member's right to vote. At the end of the day Friday beginning at 6:30 p.m. our Election Committee Chair Gary Sinnen and co-chair Tom Newsom worked with other volunteers to see the ballots verified and counted, reporting the approval of ratification to me at about 7:30 p.m.
It is difficult to offer special thanks to any one person in this effort as so many put so much heart into making this negotiation fruitful.
As our union staff representative on the county's joint labor and management Employee Benefit Advisory Team (EBAT), Issa Simpson was essential to the bargaining team regarding our Health Care benefit language, understanding the statewide insurance pools of the Oregon Employee Benefit Board (OEBB) and Public Employee Benefit Board (PEBB) and what management's health care proposals meant. Simpson's extensive knowledge of healthcare in general and our contract language in particular was critical to keeping our bargaining position strong and moving management off their proposal to take away our voice in determining our health care providers.
Lead negotiator Bryan Lally kept the bargaining team focused and was skillful in managing expectations and how to bargain at the table as well as in caucus with each other. The members of the bargaining team worked together well, representing their department constituents, even when disagreeing with each other over positions or language. At the very beginning of this process the team worked to determine what articles to open and what proposals would be put on the table using the survey taken last spring and member input from the Member Action Team site visits and emails. We took the responsibility very seriously and came prepared with our ideas, research and desire to reach a strong contract for all members. Moving off of original proposal language took serious debate and only when at least 6 out of 9 bargaining team members (2/3rds) agreed on changing a position was language then adopted for the table. The most difficult decision was to move off of the COLA + 1% however management made it extremely clear they would not move off the CPI only amount.
I have been told over and over how glad members were to see a $15 minimum wage added to the contract and I am proud of the AFSCME Local 88 membership for voting to support this position and the bargaining team for proposing this in our negotiation. When management came back to the table with their $15 hr counter proposal that included phasing out the Library Page classification and creating a new position, Access Services Assistant, our team was ready with an ad-hoc committee of Library Staff Rep Issa Simpson, Chief Steward Nicole Newsom, library bargaining team member Shandra Baur, L88 Vice President Jason Heilbrun and a few Library members. This committee did hours of work to get the proposal language as member friendly as possible and keep the power of the contract in our hands. Simpson also arranged site visits with Heilbrun and Newsom to bring the proposed changes to many Library staff, to educate them and learn of the concerns we will have to address as we move through this process.
Member Action Team (MAT) Captains took our bargaining messages to and from the members in the work sites and encouraged the site actions which kept folks involved and supportive of the bargaining team and proposals on the table. I am extremely am proud of the work these MAT Captains have done, many who have not had much active contact with the Local.
Moving forward we must wait for the Board of County Commissioners to vote on county approval of the contract as written. There will be no regular board meetings Nov 20 & 27. The next regular board meeting is Dec 4 and we expect this contract vote to be on that agenda. With the presumption of a yes vote by the board the next step will be for an update to the payroll system. I have been told not to expect the retro COLA pay until January. If that information changes I will communicate the information a.s.a.p.
Thank you to the Local 88 membership for your attention and involvement in our contract but more importantly, Thank You for the hard work you do every day supporting the community we serve and supporting each other. Our Work Matters!
Respectfully submitted,
Deirdre Mahoney-Clark
President, Local 88

Specific Contract Changes In Detail for Vote
Greetings AFSCME Local 88 Members:
The Local 88 bargaining team reached a tentative agreement with the County for a new contract. We believe this is the best agreement we can get at this time and recommend a yes vote for ratification of the tentative agreement.
Although there were certainly economic and contract language proposals we tried to include in this agreement, we simply could not move the County beyond what you see here.
If Local 88 members vote to ratify this agreement, the next step will be for the Board of Commissioners to ratify. That should occur in November. If Local 88 members vote this agreement down, the bargaining teams would return to negotiations. It would be very difficult to make significant improvements without moving toward and/or going to strike.
Thank you to all members who took part in actions such as the post card to the commissioners, green Wednesdays and the rally. Although those actions may not have resulted in the outcome you hoped for, they did strengthen us as a local.
Please review the information below regarding the tentative agreement prior to voting.
Summary of Changes Negotiated to the Local 88 Contract • November, 2014
Article 2 – Definitions
The initial (new hire) probationary period cannot be extended unless the employee has been absent for 3 or more months during their first year.
Article 5 – Union Security, Representation & Business
The County will provide the union with a monthly accounting of temp hours worked and a list of who has retired form Local 88 jobs.
Employees who sign up for union membership must maintain their membership for at least the first year of the contract. Every year, starting on the anniversary date of ratification, there will be a 5-day window period during which a member can opt to go Fair Share. Those who wish to continue their membership do not need to take any action; memberships will not lapse.
Article 10 – Other Leaves
The county will provide an explanation for what duties make a position essential when the County is declared closed due to a weather event or other emergency.
Article 11 – Health & Welfare
The health care plans and cost sharing remain the same for the time being, but there will be a re-opener available starting January 1, 2016 if either party wishes to initiate bargaining on that topic. This re-opener allows us to maintain the best level of benefits possible as the Affordable Care Act gets implemented.
Article 14 – Compensation
The COLA will be a 2.7% increase, retroactive to July 1 of this year. We anticipate the retro money will not show up in paychecks until January. The COLA in Years 2 & 3 in this contract will be equal to the Consumer Price Index as management did not move off the position and we could not get the additional 1%. Minimum COLA is 1%, maximum COLA is 4%.
A minimum wage of $15 an hour for the county's lowest-paid workers. This will be phased in over three years, with the minimum raised to $13 an hour in 2014 (retroactive to July 1), $14 on July 1, 2015 and $15 an hour on July 1, 2016. This increase would apply to any classification that currently has steps below $13 an hour.
Facility Security Officers and Corrections Technicians will be included in the biennial compensation bargaining, with any negotiated increase being retroactive to July 1 of this year.
Article 15 – Classifications & Pay Ranges
Special pay adjustments may be made to maintain equity within a unit or department. This may occur when a new employee is hired at a higher step than veteran employees who are doing the same work; in that case the other employees' pay may be increased to match the new hire. If a pay adjustment is granted to the same classification in the same work unit more than once in a 12-month period, management shall initiate a compensation study for that classification.
When the County uses a temporary employee rather than offering a work out of class opportunity, they must, upon request, provide an explanation for why a temp was used.
Article 21 – Seniority & Layoff
Those who are out on unpaid status for more than 30 days due to a FMLA or OFLA condition shall not lose seniority. This is not retroactive, it becomes effective at the time of ratification.
Laid off employees may receive an offer of recall by email or certified letter. Those who are offered recall must respond within 7 days of receiving the offer of recall.
Article 22 – Shift & Work Assignment
Training positions may be created for up to 24 months. To be eligible, an employee must not have received discipline in the previous 2 years or have negative marks on the previous year's evaluation.
When a transfer opportunity becomes available, those on the applicable transfer list will be notified and the 5 most senior qualified employees who are interested are guaranteed an interview.
Addendum F – Dept. of Library Services
To the extent permitted by law, the $15 minimum wage language will remain in effect if the Library employees are transferred to an independent Library district.
All Pages will be reclassified to the Access Services Assistant classification no later than July 1, 2016.
No employee who is a Library Clerk at the time of ratification will be reclassified to a lower classification except by mutual agreement.
An ad hoc labor-management committee will be created specifically to address the issues concerning the implementation of the minimum wage and the Access Services Assistant classification as well as the reclassification of Library Pages. The committee shall have 8 members from the union and 8 from management and shall convene within 90 days after the ratification of the contract.
Addendum G – Dept. of Community Justice
Employees in DCJ's Recog unit will follow the Sheriff's Office method of determining days of rest for purposes of overtime and double-time.
Addendum H – Drug & Alcohol Policy
It is a violation of the drug & alcohol policy for employees to solicit drugs or alcohol while on the job or while on County premises. Employees may be required to undergo a D& A assessment regardless of whether discipline has been issued or a last chance agreement has been entered into. Violation of a last chance agreement can lead to termination without a pre-termination hearing, but the employee retains the right to grieve the termination.
Addendum I – Office of the Sheriff
Memorializes the Sheriff's Office method for determining days of work and days of rest for purposes of overtime and double-time.
Addendum J- School-Based Employees
School-based employees who work a 10-month year will not lose seniority during their summer layoff. They will also receive benefits as a full-time employee provided they begin layoff after June 15 and work at least 2 shifts from July 16 to July 31 and either work 2 shifts from August 16 to August 31 or return before September 1.
2014 Local 88 Contract Voting and Q&A
We will vote on the proposed 2014-2017 contract Thursday Nov 13 & Friday Nov 14.
As soon as the time and locations for the contract vote are finalized they will be sent in a county email to Local 88 members and posted on our website.
Please bring your county identification or picture identification when you come to vote.
Current regulations do not allow mail in or absentee ballots. Our members can only vote in person at a locked ballot box. Fair share members are not allowed to vote, by law.
Union cards will be available at each voting location to sign up for membership to become eligible to vote.
Information on the contract changes with more detail will be posted to the Local 88 website as soon as possible so you know what you are voting for. A hard copy of the changes will be available for review at each ballot box.
The COLA is retroactive back to 7/1/2014. Assuming the contract is ratified, it then goes to the Board for approval. We do not expect to see the retro COLA payment before January 2015.
Future COLA in this contract will be CPI only as management did not move off the position and we could not get the additional 1%. Minimum COLA is 1%, maximum COLA is 4%.
Voting is not on County paid time, it will need to be before or after work, or on break or lunch. We will have ballot box hours as early as 7 a.m. and as late as 7 p.m. in various locations across the county. The locations and times will be provided as soon as the location reservations are confirmed.
HR will encourage supervisors to be flexible with employees' breaks and lunch to allow them to go vote and come back to work.
We are working on finalizing the contract language, formatting, etc. and expect to have an electronic draft in due process. We will provide links to that for employees on the Local 88 website when available.
Local 88 Officers and Staff Reps are recommending a yes vote to ratify this contract language.
Why will it take so long to get our COLA?
There must be a notice to members of the contract ratification vote, arrange the location and time for the ballot boxes and then hold the vote and count the ballots.
Once the ballots are counted and if the contract language is ratified, the county Board must also vote on contract approval at a regularly scheduled Thursday Board meeting. After approval by the board, the payroll department must update member payroll data and validate the information. This takes time but will be completed as soon as allowable and possible.
How do I know what I'm voting for? Where is the new contract language?
The tentative agreement language is being incorporated into current language and as soon as this is complete it will be shared with the membership on the Local 88 website. There will be copies of the language changes available at each voting location so members may review it before voting if they wish.
I can't come to a ballot box, may I vote by mail, email or proxy?
No, each member must show identification and be on a county provided list of employees and initial next to their name on the list before they are issued a ballot. Ballots are cast then and there, into a locked ballot box.
I don't know if I'm a union member or fair share. Can I vote anyway?
If your name is on the county list as fair share you may not vote on the contract. There will be union cards to sign if you wish to become a member at which time you may vote on the contract and enjoy all the benefits of union membership.
I already signed a union card. Why is my name on the list as fair share?
It takes time for your information to make it into the database and show up on the list as a member. You may sign another card at the ballot box and then vote.
Tentative Agreement Reached on Contract
On Wednesday, November 5, 2014 AFSCME Local 88 and Multnomah County reached tentative agreement on the 2014-2017 contract.
There were additions bargained besides the health care, COLA and new minimum wage. We addressed several issues that needed attention.
Highlights of the agreement are as follows:
- The COLA will be a 2.7% increase, retroactive to July 1 of this year. We anticipate the retro money will not show up in paychecks until January.
- Year 2 & 3 COLA in this contract will be CPI only as management did not move off the position and we could not get the additional 1%. Minimum COLA is 1%, maximum COLA is 4%.
- A minimum wage of $15 an hour for the county's lowest-paid workers. This will be phased in over three years, with the minimum raised to $13 an hour in 2014 (retroactive to July 1), $14 on July 1, 2015 and $15 an hour on July 1, 2016. This increase would apply to any classification that currently has steps below $13 an hour.
- The health care plans and cost sharing remain the same for the time being, but there will be a re-opener available starting January 1, 2016 if either party wishes to initiate bargaining on that topic. This re-opener allows us to maintain the best level of benefits possible as the Affordable Care Act gets implemented.
- The county will provide an explanation for what duties make a position essential when the County is declared closed.
- The County will provide the union with a monthly accounting of temp hours worked and a list of who has retired form Local 88 jobs.
- Employees who sign up for union membership will maintain their membership for at least the first year of the contract. After that point there will be an annual time period for dropping membership.
- Those who are out on unpaid status for more than 30 days due to a FMLA or OFLA condition shall not lose seniority.
- Laid off employees may receive an offer of recall by email or certified letter. Those who are offered recall must respond within 7 days of receiving the offer of recall.
- Special pay adjustments may be made to maintain equity within a unit or department.
- Facility Security Officers and Corrections Technicians will be included in the biennial compensation bargaining, with any negotiated increase being retroactive to July 1 of this year.
- Employees in DCJ's Recog unit will follow the Sheriff's Office method of determining days of rest for purposes of overtime and double-time.
- When the County uses a temporary employee rather than offering a work out of class opportunity, they must, upon request, provide an explanation for why a temp was used.

Local 88 Bargaining Update for 10-29-14
Dear Sisters and Brothers,
Local 88 held a contract rally at the Multnomah building on Tuesday October 28 with members and community partners who turned out to support the bargaining team and the contact proposals on the table, including a 2014 COLA proposal that would not cost the county budget any more in FY15 but allow us to begin next year with an additional 1%.
We also had support for the proposed $15 per hour minimum wage, to be phased in over three years with the groups $15 Now Pdx, Jobs with Justice and the Overpass Light Brigade coming to march and chant with our union members.
The bargaining team met with management on Wednesday October 29 to bargain. It was extremely challenging to find out leadership did not make any counter proposal on the COLA language. Their offer remains the 2.7% retroactive back to July 1,2014. I have personally written to and spoken to the commissioners and expressed how upsetting that proposal is, especially after we presented leadership with over 1,500 petition cards asking for the COLA Plus and moving our position to reduce the year two and three figures.
The bargaining team knew from the outset that getting anything above the CPI was shooting at the moon and hoping for a hit but we fought for the additional wage because we did the right thing taking those freezes. I have received emails from members who think the $15 minimum wage took the COLA proposal away from us. This is incorrect as we spent months fighting for the COLA Plus with no success before the $15 minimum wage was put on the table. The reality is that the $15 minimum wage was the financial increase the county was willing to agree to. To ignore that would mean we were leaving money on the table.
For those who don't know, the Local 88 membership voted at their June 18, 2014 general membership meeting to support a $15 Portland minimum wage. Our bargaining proposal was a direct reflection of our commitment to a living wage for all Oregonians, including our Local 88 members, a number of which actually qualify for public assistance. Management did take the historic step of returning to the table to bargain our $15 an hour minimum wage proposal. Bargaining lasted until 7 p.m. with no tentative agreement as there are technical details still to be discussed on the minimum wage.
The bargaining team is scheduled to meet again on Wednesday, November 5, and we will continue working on this and other language in an attempt to finish bargaining on that day.If we conclude bargaining on November 5th we will then work to schedule the ballot box vote for contract ratification. This will not happen overnight but I will see it is expedited and concluded as soon as legally possible. If we do not conclude bargaining on Wednesday there will be an update on this website with our next steps or options.
Thank you for your time and attention and all the support you have given the bargaining team.
Respectfully Submitted,
Deirdre Mahoney-Clark
President, AFSCME Local 88

Programs during the day-long institute will include: passage of the Uniform Electronic Legal Materials Act; current state implementation efforts; information technology tools required to create cyber fingerprints; MCLE luncheon with keynote speaker, Diane Boyer-Vine, California Legislative Counsel, and an off-site reception in the Old Town district following the conclusion of programming.

HTC Wildfire S Review
Expectations around the HTC Wildfire S are, a little surprisingly, high. The third of HTC's new Android devices from MWC 2011 in February, the entry-level smartphone replaces the Wildfire, a device which managed to carve itself quite the niche among pre-pay users and the budget or bulk conscious. Now the S-variant comes to further refine the lineage: we're a long way from the Tattoo, but has HTC done enough to keep the Wildfire S relevant today? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.

Recognition and Power
Axel Honneth and the Tradition of Critical Social Theory
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreThe topic of recognition has come to occupy a central place in debates in social and political theory. Developed by George Herbert Mead and Charles Taylor, it has been given expression in the program for Critical Theory developed by Axel Honneth in his book The Struggle for Recognition. Honneth's research program offers an empirically insightful way of reflecting on emancipatory struggles for greater justice and a powerful theoretical tool for generating a conception of justice and the good that enables the normative evaluation of such struggles. This 2007 volume offers a critical clarification and evaluation of this research program, particularly its relationship to the other major development in critical social and political theory; namely, the focus on power as formative of practical identities (or forms of subjectivity) proposed by Michel Foucault and developed by theorists such as Judith Butler, James Tully, and Iris Marion Young. less

Rihanna: Nude, Named Sexiest Woman Alive, Praising Chris Brown in Esquire!by Free Britney at . Comments
Following in the smoking hot footsteps of 2010 winner Minka Kelly, Rihanna has just been dubbed by Esquire magazine the Sexiest Woman Alive. Really, Esquire?
We might have gone in another direction there, but the Barbados-bred singer is known for being sexy, and she knows it. There's simply no denying that fact.
Not that the c-word dropping artist cares. "At the end of a concert, I don't feel like I've been this sexy thing. Really, I don't even think about it," she says.
Concert-goers, Internet oglers and Dudley O'Shaughnessy beg to differ:
Rihanna does concede that at times, parts of her act are overtly sexual.
"With 'Skin' or 'S&M,' or when I cover Darling Nikki,'" she allows. "There's a section that's called 'Sex' in the show, which is the obvious section for sexuality."
But that's as far as she'll go -- even if she admits that she loves choosing men from the audience on whom she can grind.
"Like, really? It's never that deliberate in the rest of the show. I don't even really ... I could maybe see 'What's My Name?' - the dancing is pretty sexy. 'Rude Boy.' But I don't know. I guess people find different things sexy."
As for the obligatory comment on the Chris Brown incident ..."It's incredible to see how he pulled out of it the way he did. Even when the world seemed like it was against him, you know?" she says, somewhat surprisingly.
"I really like the music he's putting out. I'm a fan of his stuff."
"I've always been a fan. Obviously, I had some resentment for a while, for obvious reasons. But I put that behind me. It was taking up too much of my time. It was too much anger. I'm really excited to see the breakthrough he's had in his career."
"I would never wish anything horrible for him. Never. I never have."
Chris Brown fans can certainly appreciate that sentiment.
If Rihanna is moving on and even looking at Chris' career so positively, he must be doing something right. Maybe some of his detractors will follow her lead.
Buuuuuuuuuuuu, no........ prefer Brianaaaaa,haha.
Oooh Rihanna, Look who's calling the kettle black. You have never taken responsibility for your actions. Instead you waited for just the right moment to talk about what happened, only to promote what you might call your music. There's a reason for Cris's anger still today. It's because if he even tried to defend himself it was going to work against him because you are so damned cute... Yea, A Wolf in sheeps clothing....Whatever. A player will always see right through another one.
i absolutly love rihanna and they are right she is definitly the sexiest woman alive
Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn Lives. These girls named are O.K. but could not hold a candle to Marilyn Monroe, the ultimare, supreme and totally most terrific woman of all time.
Hahahaha! I don't know which is funnier - the claim or the ppl who are mad at the claim. ^_^ People... I AM THE SEXIEST WOMAN ALIVE. RAWR!!!!!! =^_^=
The never-ending bloody racist. Riana are gourgeous. Jeaulous..........
HATERS! Haters, haters, HATERS.
She's pretty but not the sexiest women alive.
are you serious sexyest alive are you kidding me whos writing this someone black obvious in Hollywood hahahaha cause as for as my opinion goes from NY Aly Michalka has her beat all day but thats just my opinion!

Grand Easten Labasa 6 day stayPosted Sep 26, 2012
Pros: The staff and pool.
Cons: The furnishings are now run down and the bathroom should be renovated.
Location: right in down however the large sugar mills next to the town does emit quite noxious smells at times.
The room was very clean.The bathroom was average. One day, the water supply stopped working. The swimming pool had a REALLY nice temperature but the floor of the pool was darkened. Their food was quite good. The toilet in our room was blocked one day however, the staff were really nice and friendly. As the hotel is located next to the sugar mill, it can sufffer from some pretty nasty smells.

Reasonable optionPosted Aug 21, 2011
Hotel was reasonably comfortable. Large rooms. A bit noisy. Biggest drawback was lack of internet access even though advertised that internet access was available.

Great location, beautiful river by the side. The place is screeming for a renovation. The bed, the pillows and the bathroom. The pool is getting renovated at least but my husband was there this time last year and the pool was getting renovated then too. The reception area and the dinning room just look up and a good paint jop will do. This was my first trip to labasa and for labasa I think you guys still do a very good job.

Another View: Mass. provides a warning about expanding Medicaid eligibility
IDEA suggested that if states took federal funds, and the mandates that go with them, they would receive roughly 45 percent of their special education costs. Here in New Hampshire, with more than 20 years' experience with the program, the federal reimbursement has never exceeded 20 percent. It was a classic Washington bait and switch.
This example of broken promises that hands state taxpayers the bill for big government spending initiatives becomes an important lesson as the folks in D.C. plan to push another soon-to-be unfunded mandate onto the Granite State. The issue in play now is Medicaid expansion, and thanks to a Supreme Court ruling on Obamacare, states now have a chance to make their own choice before walking into the budgetary buzzsaw that comes with this program.
Just like IDEA, the federal government has promised large amounts of upfront money to states that bite on the lure of "free" federal money. The political expediency of covering numerous working and middle class residents with government-funded health care to reduce the number of uninsured makes it seem like an irresistible opportunity for New Hampshire to do "good" without initially requiring any state taxpayer money, as if federal taxpayer funds don't come out of the wallets of our very same residents.
While IDEA gives us insight into how the federal government treats its "partners" in providing services, there is a template for Medicaid expansion, and it's right next door. In Massachusetts, the Legislature expanded Medicaid in 2006, and like in Obamacare, they also required all residents to have health insurance or be penalized, so the Bay State should show us how Medicaid expansion would work out here.
To suggest that Medicaid expansion has been a financial disaster in Massachusetts might be an understatement. In 2006, when the law was implemented, Medicaid represented 25 percent of the state's budget. Now, thanks to this "reform" effort, that figure has grown to a staggering 41 percent, with little chance of relief in sight. That is despite slashing Medicaid reimbursement rates to providers over the past few years to balance an already fragile budget, which in turn means that hospitals, doctors and clinics then have to jack up the rates charged to private health insurance plans, making Massachusetts' already high premiums skyrocket even further.
In part to cover this massive growth in Medicaid spending, Gov. Deval Patrick has proposed a $1.9 billion tax hike, including a 19 percent increase in the state's income tax. However, what should not be lost in this history is that if Medicaid spending has increased its share of the state budget in Massachusetts by 16 percent, other areas have suffered as a result.
A review of that state's budget shows this stark reality. In inflation-adjusted dollars, spending on highways, public safety and education has dropped over the past six years. Setting a budget is about choices, and Massachusetts has chosen to spend its resources on Medicaid and not other priorities.
New Hampshire faces a similar policy question. We must choose whether we want to provide government health care for middle class residents; fund our schools, road and police or keep our taxes low. As a policy matter, we get to pick only two of the three, and if Massachusetts is a lesson, if we expand Medicaid, that could be to the detriment of both other options.
Some state leaders, like Gov. Maggie Hassan and Speaker Terie Norelli, have said they want to implement this part of Obamacare. Unsurprisingly, both in the past have advocated for an income tax in New Hampshire. Expanding the state's Medicaid program would give them a chance to get both of their wishes.
I hope that during this important session New Hampshire's Legislature will block the state from following Massachusetts' ill-fated path to expand Medicaid. We'll be glad to take their tax refugees and businesses that can no longer afford to stay there. The real answer for lowering our health care costs is not expanding a government- run program, but providing for real competition and true cost transparency, and giving consumers meaningful choices.

Does not glow
By Jill D
from Boulder, CO
About Me Education Oriented, Parent
Comments about The solar systemon your ceiling!:
Very sad 3.5 year old after realizing this glow in the dark solar system doesn't actually glow in the dark. He also pointed out that You have to tack or tape each planet to your ceiling. And my son pointed out that Saturn was made without rings. Poorly designed all around.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great room accessory for a kids room!
By Amberlee Cave
from Colfax, CA
I received this Glow in the Dark Solar System to review from Educational insights. My daughters have a Solar System similar to this product in their school and almost everyday they would point it out to me and tell me they wanted one at home. They are both obsessed with the sky (my youngest is more obsessed) and this is the perfect thing for their room! Not only is it cool to look at, but we can talk about the different planets together which is a plus for me. They love that not only can they see it during the day, but they can also see it at night when the lights are out. I love having glow in the dark things in their room that are not the traditional glow in the dark stars. I like that they will know is around them and I love the tools that make it easy to share our world together. I love that this kit comes with everything you need to set it up too! It made it very easy to put together and looked great once put up. My girls love falling asleep looking at the planets.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
My son loves this!
By angie k
from st louis mo
This product was easy to use and the planets labeled by their astronomical signs. Ours did come with a guide with instructions on how to use it. It also came with cleat fishing wire to hang on the ceiling. We did have to purchase tacks so it would of been nice if they would include tacks in the box so it is a all ready to go activity. My son wanted over his bed and he was really excited when he turned off the light and went to bed and they were all glowing bright.

About Me Parent
I received the Geosafari Glow-In-The-Dark Solar System for free in order to give a honest review. All opinions are 100% my own. My 3 year old daughter loves this very much. I am going to hang it up inside of her bookshelf for her. I had a little trouble identifying the planets while setting it up. Luckily the planets have the symbols on the bottom and I matched them up by using the booklet for help. My daughter knows the names to all of her planets and so she really enjoys looking at it. My only real complaint is that it does not glow as well I was hoping, especially the sun. I charged it up with a bright flashlight and the sun only seems to glow for a brief moment. My daughter does not seem to mind at all. The planets are all very tiny, but I am not complaining about that because I like that it is very compact and looks great in a child's room. My daughter thinks it is fantastic, and if she does, so do I :)

The sun is NOT 8" in diameter, it's 4"
By Product researcher
from Racine, WI
About Me Educator, Parent
This product says the sun is 8" in diameter and it is not. It's 4" in diameter so HALF the size!!! The other planets are near the size of marbles and there is just clear string and metal loops on each planet to individually place on the celing. Our set didn't even come with the Solar System Guide :(

Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew says that he's able to cut while running without having any discomfort in his foot. "It just feels comfortable making those cuts and knowing there's no pain in the foot, ankle, whatever," Jones-Drew said, via the Associated Press. "Not running for eight months, it's like, 'Can I still do it?' But I've been playing football for 20 years and it's just natural." The main thing for MJD is for his foot to used to making cuts on a regular basis. "The main thing for me is just getting back to where I can carry the ball 20 or 25 times a game," he added. "Obviously, right now, I feel like I can do it. But it's different when you're getting the ball play after play after play." Jones-Drew allegedly got about 12 or so reps with the Jags first team offense on Friday. On the final play Jones-Drew said he felt like he had his burst back. "I feel like I had a little burst," he said. "I feel like I did some old stuff. I just want to continue that and continue on that track." With the Jaguars current quarterback situation, the offense will continue to run through Jones-Drew. They need him to be 100 percent healthy in 2013. Need NFL Tickets? Loading...

Afghan President Hamid Karzai has agreed to a run-off election on Nov. 7 with his top challenger, former Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah. Karzai faced international pressure to accept election monitors' conclusion that he hadn't won a majority in the first round. The White House said President Obama wouldn't decide whether to send more troops until it was clear the Afghan government was a "credible" partner. Should Obama wait to see what happens in the runoff?
Obama should wait: Afghanistan's election crisis isn't over yet, said The Boston Globe in an editorial. There has to be an honest government in Kabul "to have any hope of saving Afghanistan from another Taliban takeover." So it's wise for President Obama to hold off on deciding to send another 40,000 soldiers until it's "clear what kind of government will emerge" from the "fraud-skewered presidential election."
End Afghan election crisis first
Delay could be dangerous: Many in the military are already worried "the president is moving too slowly," said Elisabeth Bumiller in The New York Times. Frustration is rising because many active duty and retired officers say extremists have been emboldened by the delay, and if Afghanistan blows up it could be too late. The administration seems determined to hold back, though, on the logic that it would be "reckless to rush a decision" without a clear partner in Kabul.
As the Commander in Chief deliberates, frustration builds within the ranks
The time for a surge is now: Obama knows everything he needs to know, said Stephen Biddle in The New Republic. Gen. Stanley McChrystal's integrated counterinsurgency, or COIN, calls for more American troops and a doubling of the Afghan military and police force to 400,000. It's a big commitment, but there is no "middle way" that offers the same chance of success without much greater cost.
