Windsor police adopt high-tech access service for the deaf
The Windsor StarPublished: Saturday, May 12, 2012
The Windsor Police Service has become the first force in Ontario to launch a high-tech service aimed at improving communication with the deaf, hard of hearing and people with other language barriers.
Police partnered in June 2011 with Language Services Associates, a U.S. organization offering language translation services, to do a 30-day trial in the Emergency 911 Centre.
It was a success, so police incorporated the program into their Windsor Police Service Human Rights Project as a way of expanding service to people who are deaf or Limited English Proficient.
The program includes 24/7 access to telephone and video remote interpreting services at all police facilities where there is interaction with the public.
Video Remote Interpreting will allow deaf and hearing people to communicate through a video based interpreter via the LSA website. VRI will be available in the main office at police headquarters and the collision reporting centre on Jefferson Avenue.
It will allow people who are deaf or hard of hearing to file complaints, make general inquiries and complete minor reports that don't require court attendance.
The Interpretalk service, or interpreting by telephone, will be available in the main office, traffic branch, professional standards branch, the detention unit and the collision reporting centre.
When required, an officer will contact LSA to request a telephonic interpreter, then give a separate handset to the citizen who needs the service. This will allow all three parties to communicate in the preferred language.
When at a call where there is a language barrier, officers can contact the 911 centre and request a conference call with LSA.
When officers need to call an LEP person, they can contact LSA and request a third party call. LSA will connect an interpreter to the line, then call the LEP person.

Does Israelo-fascism exist?
Robert O. Paxton, the distinguished emeritus professor at Columbia University, is perhaps the world's leading authority on fascism. His book Vichy France (1972) has become a classic, not least in France itself, for telling truths about the collaborationist regime that the French themselves had been too ashamed and timid to say. More recently, The Anatomy
'And along come the Israelis and knock their house down'
I honestly don't know how you can be a Zionist and see this kind of report without screaming– from Al Jazeera, about the destruction of 20,000 Palestinian houses in "Occupied East Jerusalem," some of them repeat demolitions of individual families' houses. From reporter Jacky Rowland, with the great Jeff Halper of ICAHD saying the intention
Foxman plays Holocaust card
Joe Klein says Abe Foxman should be fired now, and points to Foxman's long disgraceful record, including calling Klein anti-Semitic for saying that Jewish neocons had pushed the Iraq war (and now Iran war) without disclosing their true concern. During the high-tide of anti-semitism, and then again during the civil-rights movement, and often since, the
The children whose spirit a siege couldn't break
Haaretz has the story on the latest record set by the children of Gaza. They've broken their own record from last year's UNRWA Summer Games for the number of kites being flown at one time. The UN website has the video: SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Palestinian Girl No 1: "Seriously, it is a beautiful that the UN gave us this chance to
I felt alone till I heard about the Jewish boat to Gaza
Editor's note: I'm going to be writing a lot about boats these days. Americans are organizing a U.S. boat to Gaza, with a cruise around New York this Thursday to raise money for the effort, and in the meantime a Jewish boat to Gaza will be sailing from Europe. No departure set yet, but it
Why did a Democratic congressman's aide speak of 'Jewish money'?
This is interesting.

'ADL' statement rationalizing bigotry draws wide scorn
It's happened: the Anti-Defamation League has overplayed its hand (in this case, neoconservative Islamophobia) in such a glaring manner that it is being condemned at every quarter– a statement from the group opposing the construction of a mosque near Ground Zero in New York. The statement openly abandons civil rights, standing for no principle at

I'm going back to Gaza
The night before my group departed from Gaza in June 2009, I talked about not being ready to leave. And I wasn't. It took me another two months after I got back to pull out of my "Gaza Haze" and begin to function again. I met with my Congressman's Director of Outreach, and he advised
Some Israelis celebrate what Bernadotte's murder achieved
Larry Derfner has a great piece in the JPost laying out the hypocrisy of Israel's extolling terrorists while condemning Palestinians when they do the same. It's a wonderful argument, but for me what leaped out was the Bernadotte bit. Consider, that Count Bernadotte, who saved Jews from the Nazis during the war, wanted to internationalize
'TNR' calls for more civilian casualties
Amitai Etzioni leads The New Republic today with "Unshackle the Troops". Also headlined: "The Military Cares Too Much About Civilian Casualties." The subtext: Be more like Israel, Learn to Stop Worrying, and Inflict Civilian Casualties. This goes with Eztioni's other recent articles urging an attack on Iran so maybe there's a second subtext: Don't listen
The rich tapestry of Israeli apartheid
The recent announcement that Palestinian communities in Israel will be provided with a bus service for the first time since Israel's founding – that is, in 62 years – surprised observers who had not realised second-class citizenship also extends to being deprived of a bus line. People often object to the comparison of Israel within
cognitive dissonance on Jewish power
This is funny. Oliver Stone recently disparaged Jewish domination of the media and the Israel lobby's effect on foreign policy, and was compelled to apologize. Compelled?

Ah, the old neighborhood
Hyde Park's the neighborhood he returned to, the place he'd chosen to live, and its roots were torn out 50 years ago. A college town, it has all the churning and transience the phrase implies. Everyone seems from somewhere else. The Armours, Swifts, and the other first families of Chicago left long ago. The working men and their families, who replaced them, were driven out by the university. The poor were secured at a safe distance. Inside, harmony reigned between white and black residents, but the whites drawn by the university were often here only temporarily, and the blacks who moved here have the same sense of displacement, even if they arrived from another neighborhood nearby. This is the perfect place for a man without an identity to make one of his own choosing.Ferguson gets a lot right in his story -- including the atrocious grocery store situation that persisted for decades. He also quotes one of my favorite Hyde Parkers -- Arnold Wolf -- at length. That said, it's a bit odd to imply that Obama is either responsible for or a product of the neigborhood's odd political economy. Furthermore, anyone who moved to Hyde Park in the past twenty years quickly figures out all of the costs, benefits, and legacies of the University of Chicago's longstanding paternalism. Indeed, it would be hard to spend time in Hyde Park and not come away with a sober view of the limitations on governments and non-profit organizations in bettering a place.

Domestic animals go mad; living with man is living with something unnatural. In the wild no animal commits suicide, no animal goes mad, no animal murders. But with man even animals turn unnatural, they start doing things they have never done in the wild: they become homosexual, they become neurotic, they murder, and sometimes they have even tried to commit suicide.
What happens when you bring a dog to your home? You immediately start teaching him, as if he lacks something. He is perfect! Every dog is born perfect. Nature has given him everything that is needed; he is already equipped, you need not teach him.
What are you doing? You are trying to make him a part of human society. And now the trouble starts: now even the dog will learn to condemn himself. If he does something wrong, inside he feels guilty; condemnation has entered.
I have heard:
It happened once that a bum, a beggar, caught hold of a rich man and asked for a dime, just for a cup of coffee. The rich man said, "You seem to be healthy enough, why are you wasting your life? Why don't you go to work and help yourself?"
The bum said, with very deep condemnation in his eyes, "What! To help a bum like me?"
You are continually not accepting yourself. From the very beginning you have been taught that nature is not enough, you have to be more than nature. And you have tried, and that effort has failed - it is impossible, you can never be more than nature. And if you try too much you will be less than nature. You can never be more than nature because nature is perfect: nothing more is needed, no polishing is needed, no effort is needed to make it better - it cannot be made better. But if you try too much you will fall from the perfection of nature and you will become a neurotic animal. Man comes from animals, but he is not a higher animal. He has become a neurotic animal.
And the problem is that nobody teaches you to accept yourself and to accept your nature. Worship it, be thankful to the divine for it, be grateful to the whole! Whatsoever has been given to you has a meaning, it is significant; you cannot cut it down and change. If you try, you will be in trouble. And you are in trouble - everybody on this earth is in trouble.
Why does man condemn himself? Why can't he accept nature? Because through condemnation the ego is created. There is no other way to create the ego. To create the ego you have to fight. To create the ego you have to condemn something as bad, and applaud something as good. To create the ego, first you have to create a God and a Devil, and then you have to fight with the Devil and try to reach the God. A conflict is needed for the ego. If there is no conflict, there cannot be any ego. Just think.if there is no fight within you, if you accept yourself totally - you are happy as you are, deeply content, deeply satisfied, not even a single note of complaint, thankful - how can the ego exist? How can you say "I am"? The more you fight, the more "I" is created.

There are plenty of conspiracy theories doing the rounds on the internet, mostly concerning 9/11, the war in Iraq, the planned war in Iran?, The Illuminati, the global banking elite etc. And while BH aren't going to comment on the legitimacy or exactly where we stand on any of those; after watching this video we are now convinced! Convinced I tell you, that the destruction of The Death Star could quite legitimately have been an inside job!
Seriously! How can you deny this evidence right here!

WASHOUGAL — Facing calls for her resignation Tuesday night, Mount Pleasant School Board President Dolores Nelson refused to resign and lashed out at district Superintendent Linda Slattery.
Nelson accused the superintendent of spreading lies about her in the wake of a longtime school district employee's resignation. Superintendent Slattery labeled Nelson's comments as examples of the intimidation she has faced from the board president since allegations arose that longtime district bus driver Cheryl Randall stole at least $500 from the district.
"You've never treated me respectfully since I've been superintendent," Slattery said to Nelson. She asked for an apology for comments made about her to The Columbian. No apology was offered.
Slattery had the power to take action against Randall, who has since resigned, but did nothing, Nelson said. Board member Thomas Schlatter accused Nelson of standing in the first-year superintendent's way to protect her friend.
"There was no cover-up," said Nelson, who's served on the board 15 years.
The 80-minute discussion on Nelson's status on the board not only highlighted divisions among the elected body but raised questions about Slattery's long-term status as superintendent and the leadership of the tiny district, whose residents passed a levy to support the K-6 district last fall.
Audience members noted toward the end of the finger-pointing session that the board's behavior had become "toxic." Tanis Morris, the lone applicant for the board's open seat, described stepping onto the body as "pretty scary."
Former board member Phil Caldwell stepped down earlier this year due to family health concerns, he said Tuesday.
Allegations arose against Randall in October that she used a district credit card multiple times to purchase gas for her personal vehicle. While details from a state audit on the incidents have not become public, Schlatter revealed during Tuesday night's meeting that Randall's alleged offenses totaled more than the $500 previously stated. Randall has a court date in Washougal on Thursday on suspicion of third-degree theft.
The Mount Pleasant School District has suffered financially in recent years, Schlatter said, questioning why Nelson allowed an employee who admitted to authorities she stole from the district to remain on staff. The district has five employees and 55 students.
At the meeting, Schlatter called for Nelson to step down as board president, at the very least. Nelson rejected his overtures, noting she had worked to help Slattery, even inviting her into her home.
But it was clear Tuesday night the relationship between the superintendent and board president had deteriorated.
Nelson labeled Slattery's suggestions she had threatened her to keep quiet about Randall's alleged actions as a "bold-faced lie." Nelson alleged Slattery had told Randall she could pay off her debt to the school district $20 at a time.
"It's a lie that I stopped (the superintendent) from disciplining anyone," Nelson said.
Later in the discussion, Schlatter rhetorically asked Nelson, "Why would we retain a liar as superintendent?"
At one point, attorney Don Austin, who represents the district, advised the board to cease discussing Slattery's job performance. Those matters, he noted, were reserved for executive session. Austin listened to the meeting via speaker phone.
Schlatter and fellow board member Karl Kanthak supported Slattery and criticized Nelson and board member Peggy Carroll for informing Skamania County authorities that the board would not seek charges against Randall without first consulting the entire board.
Nelson repeatedly questioned why Schlatter chose to address her status with the board Tuesday, as opposed to months earlier.
Schlatter said Nelson should step down as president for the good of the district's students. Nelson lambasted Schlatter, in turn, for suggesting that because she had no children or grandchildren in the district at present that she should not be on the board.
The audience consisted of about a dozen people, including teachers and board member's spouses. Those who commented on the meeting shared a common revulsion at what they had witnessed.
"This is an incredibly hostile environment ..." Morris remarked of her first board meeting.
Katy Anholt, a kindergarten and first-grade teacher at Mount Pleasant School, wondered why Slattery would continue as superintendent, given what she has to deal with.
"If I was Linda (Slattery), I would say, 'why would I want to stay here,'" Anholt told the board.
It is time to move on, board member Peggy Carroll said multiple times.
In defending herself, Slattery accused Carroll, in addition to Nelson, of trying to intimidate her.
"We need to let emotions and feelings calm down and give it a rest," Carroll said. "We can't keep dwelling on it."

Elliott Management bidding $2.35B to buy Compuware
Summary: Motivated by the business software maker's "underperformance," an activist hedge fund is making a large bid for Compuware.
Elliott Management, an activist hedge fund firm, is bidding approximately $2.35 billion to buy IT software and services provider Compuware, according to multiple reports on Monday.
That bid translates into roughly $11 per share, and Bloomberg pointed out that represents a 15 percent premium over the company's closing stock price of $9.53 on Friday, December 14.
The Associated Press reported that Elliott already holds an 8 percent stake in Compuware, and that the investment firm is "confident that it can find financing for such a deal and wants to meet with the company's board as soon as possible."
Highlighting that this move comes several months after pushing BMC Software to also sell, The New York Times's Dealbook blog cited a memo from Elliott portfolio manager Jesse Cohn to Compuware's board today.
In the memo, Cohn wrote this offer was motivated by the business software maker's "underperformance."
"Compuware is a long-established company that we have followed closely for several years," he wrote. "We believe in the quality of Compuware's assets – however, its execution, profitability and growth have meaningfully underperformed."
As news of the potential takeover hit the wires this morning, Compuware stock on the Nasdaq is up to roughly $10.78 per share.

Hey all you underwater photographers out there I could use your help.
I have a new Aquatica housing for my 5D Mark II that I will be taking to Grand Cayman this weekend. I am having problems with the ports on the front of the housing (both Macro and Wide Angle) causing the housing to rotate upwards. In addition, I have a new viewfinder that I have installed on the back of the housing that is a bit heavy. This further exacerbates the problem by tending to rotate the back of the housing downwards.
I can see that this will cause undo strain on my wrists while fighting this rotation and was wondering if anyone has had a way to correct this problem.
I am using STIX floats on UCLS arms with two 110 alpha Sea and Sea strobes on the ends.
If I draw the strobes back far enough towards me then this tends to offset the rotation problem. However, it becomes a problem again if I want to move the strobes closer to my subject in that the ports rotate the camera upwards.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thats pretty cool, but I don't know what they are gonna think at the airport when you show up with a huge camera housing covered in lead!
If you don't have enough time to work out a solution like Bliecap suggested then I would simply get some ankle-weights that some people use when diving in a dry-suit.
Ankle weights are normally lead-shot in a nice rectangular bag, perfect to fit around your extension ring on the dome or directly around your macro port.

Of course you will need someone with a bit of sewing skills to fix a longer strap on them so it will reach around your extension, I've seen this done with superdomes in the past and it seems to work quite well!
Have a great trip!
Or if you have no time to get someone to sew it together, just use cable-ties!

A Buena Vista University freshman from North Carolina who just landed on campus landed in jail Tuesday on charges that he burglarized seven dorm rooms on move-in weekend.
Police took a report of several burglaries to dorm rooms in Pierce Hall on the campus of Buena Vista University on Aug. 25 at 4 p.m.
A person tried to break into a residence at 535 Superior St. on Sunday just after midnight. No suspects were located when police arrived. Police later saw a 1999 Ford pickup squealing its tires and driving erratically in the 500 block of Russell Street.
Police were called to 123 Irving St. Sunday morning at 2:15 a.m. because of a vehicle striking a house during a domestic disturbance that involved several people fighting in front of the residence.
Police encountered several people in and around the residence. Police were told the suspects vehicle that had struck the house, fled northbound. It was located at the intersection of East 2nd Street and Irving, where the vehicle had struck two other parked cars.
A burglary was reported Monday at 5:30 p.m. at 710 Geisinger Road apartment #5.
Police met with the reporting party who told police that someone had entered the apartment and removed cash and items valued at $400.
Police collected names of individuals who were identified as people of interest in connection with the incident.
Stolen firearms, electronics add up to $3,000
A burglary was reported to the Buena Vista County Sheriff's Office on April 18 after an Albert City residence was robbed of numerous firearms, electronics and military uniforms.
An investigation into the incident resulted in the arrest of a man and woman from Marathon.
An Alta couple was arrested Monday after a multi-county investigation into several area burglaries came to a close.
On March 3 the Buena Vista County Sheriff's Office investigated a burglary report of a residence northwest of Alta. It was learned that $14,440 of personal property was stolen.
A few days later deputies learned of a burglary to a vacant house within a half-mile of the first burglary.
Police were called to 205 West Sixth St. #7 after a report of a residential burglary.
Police met with the victim who told police he was sleeping in his apartment when he woke up to find that three people had forced into his residence and stole money off his kitchen table.
When the three suspects saw the victim, they fled from the apartment.

Big Fashion Put on Notice for Forest Destruction
Monday, October 20th, 2014
***Interviews and high-resolution images available
Laurel Sutherlin, 415.246.0161 email@example.com
Big Fashion Put on Notice for its Role in Forest Destruction, Rights Abuses; Activists to Place 'Warning Labels' on Offending Brands
Rayon and other fabrics commonly used by the 'Fashion Fifteen' brands are made from dissolving pulp tied to deforestation, says Rainforest Action Network
San Francisco, CA – Major fashion brands are grinding up forests to make the clothes American's wear everyday? It sounds crazy, but it's true. While very few people have even heard of dissolving pulp, it is the primary ingredient in rayon and other common fabrics, and forest advocates say it is a growing threat to forests around the world.
Rainforest Action Network (RAN) has launched the Out of Fashion campaign, which calls on major fashion brands, dubbed the 'Fashion Fifteen,' to commit to using only forest friendly fabrics in their products. RAN is engaging with the fashion industry to convince companies to adopt binding policies to ensure that deforestation, human rights abuses and climate pollution are rooted out and removed from their fabric supply chains.
"Every year, millions of trees are turned into clothing through the use of dissolving pulp. And the process is almost criminally inefficient: only thirty percent of tree matter is actually usable for clothing," says Brihannala Morgan, senior forest campaigner with Rainforest Action Network (RAN). "This scandal has been hidden in plain sight for too long, but no more. The time has come for the fashion industry to take responsibility for its impacts on people and the planet and to publicly adopt binding policies that prevent deforestation, human rights abuses and climate pollution from being woven into the fabrics Americans wear everyday."
Starting today, activists around the country are flooding malls, boutique clothing stores and major shopping outlets, placing stickers on the tags of clothing made with dissolving pulp that say "Warning: This Item May Contain Forest Destruction."
Fibers made from dissolving pulp go by many names, including: rayon, viscose, Tencel ©, Lyocell and modal.
The Fashion Fifteen group of companies targeted by the Out of Fashion campaign are divided into three categories which include 1) 'Closet Classics' brands: Guess, Abercrombie, Forever 21, Velvet and Limited Brands (Victoria Secret, The Limited and Express); 2) Athletic brands: Under Armour, Foot Locker, Gaiam, Beyond Yoga and 3) Luxury brands: Prada Group, Vince, Tory Burch, Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren and LVMH (which includes Dior, Donna Karen, Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton and many others).
Dissolving pulp comes from critical forest ecosystems around the world, including Canada, Indonesia, South Africa, and the USA. In Indonesia, dissolving pulp plantations have logged irreplaceable tropical rainforests, displaced traditional communities and destroyed priceless biodiversity. Communities in Northern Sumatra have been fighting a dissolving pulp mill for over 20 years, taking action to protect the forests, rivers, and farms at the basis of their way of life.
For more information on dissolving pulp and RAN's Out of Fashion campaign, see here.
Rainforest Action Network runs hard-hitting campaigns to break North America's fossil fuels addiction, protect endangered forests and Indigenous rights, and stop destructive investments around the world through education, grassroots organizing, and non-violent direct action.

Satire Wins
We launched a campaign to turn up the heat on Pepsico and its use of Conflict Palm Oil. The goal has been to takeover its darkly ironic #LiveForNow advertising campaign that encourages consumption while ignoring human rights abuses, land grabs, and deforestation. Supporters like you have been doing just that by tweeting pictures from events and anywhere they spot the logo of Pepsico's flagship brand Pepsi, calling out the truth.
Taking the heat to the next level, we launched a site highlighting the awesome pictures coming in, making it even easier to take action!
Our "#LiveForNow Shouldn't Mean Destroying Tomorrow" site is built for people like you to use to crank up the pressure on PepsiCo. Pictures coming in from people across the US and the globe will make it clear to PepsiCo that our movement is building and we won't stop until it ends its use of Conflict Palm Oil.
Remember, take a selfie with a Pepsi sign and tweet it out with the hashtag #LiveForNow and we'll feature you on the site too!
We know your pressure is working. PepsiCo is one of the 5 laggards companies we called out in April who have refused to take effective steps to eliminate Conflict Palm Oil, but other companies are moving. This week, palm oil laggard Conagra Foods announced a new commitment to eliminate Conflict Palm Oil. Together we can push PepsiCo to do the right thing and fix the weaknesses in its Palm Oil Commitment. So keep up the pressure! Start now by sharing our spoof site with your friends and family on Twitter and Facebook.
Toba Pulp Lestari: In depth on one of the worst actors in pulp and paper
Indonesian pulp and paper giant Toba Pulp Lestari has been operating recklessly in North Sumatra for years. The company's mill has been poisoning communities and disrupting life and livelihoods for the local people who call this area home. The mill, and it's operators, are responsible for horrific land conflicts between the company and villagers who hold traditional land rights to the company's concessions.
These communities, whose land is protected by customary rights under Indonesian law, rely on these forests for their life and livelihoods. As reported by RAN's on-the-ground partner, Kelompok Studi dan Pengembangan Prakarsa Masyarakat, well over 17,000 hectares of natural forest have been destroyed, impacting or displacing over 13,000 Indigenous people.
These communities are fighting back, and at least 59 activists have been arrested for resisting Toba Pulp Lestari's continued expansion and destruction. In the past few years, land conflict has only escalated between villagers and Toba Pulp Lestari employees over the forest area. Meetings with government representatives and Toba Pulp Lestari management have brought no results, and local villagers have resorted to protests and blockades of company operations in order to protect the forests.
The behavior of Toba Pulp Lestari employees shows clear disregard for the livelihoods of local people. In February 2013, local farmers from Pandumaan and Sipituhuta Villages caught Toba Pulp Lestari employees entering their forest areas and cutting down frankincense trees. Instead of apprehending those causing the destruction, resulting clashes between farmers and the employees led to the arrests of 31 farmers.
The harvest of frankincense is essential to the local economy. These communities, who have farmed this land for generations, extract the frankincense without destroying the trees in order to maintain the health of the forest and keep this vital source of income intact for future generations. When the forests are wiped out for pulp plantations, Toba Pulp Lestari destroys not only the livelihoods of the community, their childrens' livelihoods, and the ecosystem, but it destroys their culture as well.
Local communities have opposed the mill since it began operations in North Sumatra in 1989 due to the rainforest destruction, land grabbing and toxics pollution central to the company's business model. In 1990, 10 elderly women from Sugapa Village were arrested for pulling up and destroying eucalyptus plantings on their traditional land. Protests by the local community escalated in 1998 and temporarily shut down the mill. But in recent years, the company has changed its name from PT Inti Indorayon Utama to PT Toba Pulp Lestari and reopened the mill; it is now in the process of expanding its destructive operations further into pristine rainforest. Along with name changes, the company has changed affiliations multiple times in order to hide its destruction. The company was formerly affiliated with pulp and paper giant, Asia Pacific Resources International Limited (APRIL) and its parent Royal Golden Eagle (RGE), and is still controlled by notorious Indonesian business tycoon Sukanto Tanoto through holding companies.
This may seem like a conflict far away from those of us in the Americas, Europe, or Australia, but it's closer than one would think. A wide variety of consumer products contain pulp from rainforests like those in North Sumatra, including paper, food, cosmetics, household goods—even clothing. This pulp, and the conflict that produced it, is sold on store shelves in your neighborhood - unmarked and unidentifiable.
Unless Toba Pulp Lestari respects the rights of the Indigenous people, including the right to Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC), conflicts will only continue. And while Indonesia's Constitutional Court has acknowledged the customary forest rights of the communities, Toba Pulp Lestari's concessions and operations continue to undermine the ability of local people to access and manage their own forests.
We plan to keep you up to date on this conflict and bring more information continue to explore and expose the pulp supply chains threatening global rainforests.... stay tuned.
Turn Up The Heat on PepsiCo
On May 20, thousands of us united in a Global Day of Action to tell PepsiCo to eliminate Conflict Palm Oil. PepsiCo responded by announcing a Forestry Stewardship Policy and Palm Oil Commitment, but neither of these new promises are strong enough to guarantee that Pepsi's use of palm oil is not driving rainforest destruction, species extinction and human and labor rights abuses.
PepsiCo is the largest globally distributed snack food company in the world - the company uses enough palm oil every single year to fill Pepsi cans that would stretch around the Earth 4 times - but it has fallen out of step with its peers and still has no truly responsible palm oil purchasing policy.
This has to change -- and with your help it will. Are you with us?
Instead of cutting Conflict Palm Oil from its products, PepsiCo continues to push its darkly ironic #LiveForNow campaign. PepsiCo is telling people not to worry about climate change, the fate of the last wild orangutans and children that are forced to work in slave-like conditions on oil palm plantations and just #LiveForNow!
It's our job to tell PepsiCo that #LiveForNow isn't good enough. This summer we're turning up the heat.
PepsiCo is pushing its #LiveForNow propaganda out through it's "Real Big Summer" marketing campaign which includes Pepsi sponsored concerts and events across the US. We need YOU to crash Pepsi-sponsored events and deliver the message that #LiveForNow shouldn't mean rainforest destruction, climate change and human rights abuses.
Because of you PepsiCo has made some progress. With your help we've convinced the snack food giant to go beyond just sourcing Roundtable on Sustainable Palm certified palm oil. However, PepsiCo's policies lack a commitment to trace its palm oil back to the plantations where the oil palm fruit was grown and to verify that its suppliers operations are free of forced and child labor, conflicts with Indigenous Peoples and local communities, and clearance of rainforests and peatlands. It also lacks a time bound action plan, so it's hard for its consumers to know what steps it will take to clean up its palm oil supply chain.
This isn't good enough. PepsiCo must adopt a policy that is inline with what forests, the people that rely on them and our planet need and demand that its suppliers, like Cargill, do the same.
With your help we'll convince the global snack food giant to take the steps that will guarantee that its products - like Quaker Oats and Frito-Lay Chips - will be free of Conflict Palm Oil for good.
Help us turn up the heat on PepsiCo this summer. Sign up to let us know you're in.
APRIL Makes A Mockery Of Its Own "Sustainable" Forest Policy
Almost six months after the release of its Sustainable Forest Management Policy, Asia Pacific Resources International Ltd (APRIL)—the second-largest Indonesian pulp & paper company—continues business-as-usual rainforest destruction, betraying the spirit and substance of its policy.
The Sydney Morning Herald reported in May that APRIL-owned PT RAPP cleared massive swaths of carbon-rich peatlands on Pulau Padang, an island off the Sumatran coast that APRIL promised to help restore. Members of island community Desa Bagan Melibur have called on APRIL to terminate operations on their community land, and Desa Bagan Melibur's May 17 protest is the most recent clash in a stark legacy of land disputes between APRIL and Padang's thirteen villages since 2009.
Pulau Padang's peatlands store millions of tons of carbon and are home to endangered species and communities that depend on these forests for their livelihoods. You could also say the island itself is endangered: decaying peat causes the low-lying island to subside, and scientists warn that if no action is taken, Padang may very well be under sea level and useless for any type of cultivation by 2050.
APRIL's forest policy itself is rife with loopholes and allows APRIL to continue slashing natural forests in its concessions through December and source rainforest fiber until 2020. Yet the company's refusal to uphold even its weak policy commitments brings APRIL's intentions entirely into doubt. In addition to the Pulau Padang case, earlier this year, APRIL suppliers were caught clearing natural forests on legally protected peat land in Borneo and high conservation value forest on peat land in Riau. In the latter case, not only were internationally protected ramin trees cut down, but APRIL supplier PT Triomas allegedly attempted to hide the evidence by burying the contraband logs.
There is mounting recognition that APRIL's policy and actions are insufficient and not credible. Last Friday, RAN and an international collation of allies co-authored a letter highlighting the severe shortcomings in APRIL's policies, such as the lack of a moratorium on natural forest and peat land conversion, unclear commitments on resolving social conflicts, and the policy's narrow scope, which does not extend to cover APRIL's sister companies within owner Sukanto Tanoto's rogue cartel of companies, such as Toba Pulp Lestari, Sateri, and Asian Agri. The letter also points to the inadequacy and questionable credibility of the Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC) APRIL set up to help develop, implement, and monitor the forest policy in a transparent and independent manner.
APRIL's new policy and the SAC risk being nothing but a parade of environmental lip service built on teetering scaffolds of environmental destruction, social conflict, and corruption. Customers and financiers must cut ties with APRIL and other companies owned by Sukanto Tanoto and pressure APRIL to end rainforest clearing and respect community rights.
TAKE ACTION: Tell APRIL owner Sukanto Tanoto to stop pulping Pulau Padang's rainforests.
What Do Siberian Tigers and American Forestry Workers Have in Common?
Remember when we told you about Lumber Liquidators' connection with illegal logging in Russia? The clearing of critical forests in the Russian Far East, the last habitat of the endangered Siberian tiger, is an unacceptable price to pay for cheap hardwood flooring. Our allies at the Environmental Investigation Agency released an in-depth report, which showed exactly how this crucial ecosystem ended up in Lumber Liquidators' supply chains, and ultimately, into the homes of families here in the U.S.
Today, the Environmental Investigation Agency released a new video on illegal logging which highlights the importance of the Lacey Act, the US law that prohibits the import and sale of illegal goods (including forest products).
You can watch the video and take action here. This is especially great for people new to the issue, or kids, parents, and teachers.
This illegal timber trade, which comprises 30% of logging worldwide and is worth 1 billion dollars per year, threatens forests, forest-dependent peoples, the climate and biodiversity, not just in Russia or Indonesia, but globally. It is one of the critical reasons we need the Lacey Act, and why the law should be enforced and fully funded.
Just three weeks ago, the company was targeted for importing illegal timber from Brazilian rainforests. It is necessary for companies like Lumber Liquidators to do their homework and dig into their supply chains not only to avoid illegally harvested timber and wood products but to go above and beyond the law and ensure that the forest products they sell are not linked to deforestation or human rights violations.
Adopting such measures is not only feasible, but makes good business sense. As our publishers report detailed with paper, there are some best practices that companies can use to eliminate illegal and controversial sources from their supply chains like including environmental and social performance obligations in their contracts, requiring declarations, using wood and fiber testing and requiring third party verification like FSC certification.
Taking simple steps to police their own supply chains shouldn't be too much to ask for companies like Lumber Liquidators – in fact, because of the Lacey Act, it's the law!
This is a common sense step. Join us and tell Lumber Liquidators follow the law and comply with the Lacey Act. and to further by ensuring none of the products they offer are linked to deforestation or human rights violations. We'd also really appreciate it if you could share the video with your friends -- we have to spread the word about how irresponsible sourcing of wood and paper products is threatening global forests. Help us make an impact!
Thanks for an amazing Day of Action!
Thank you! The Global Day of Action was amazing, and PepsiCo absolutely heard your voice loud and clear.
From Kuala Lumpur to San Francisco, Oslo to Cape Town, thousands of activists took a stand on May 20th with their friends, colleagues and families to write their own stories for the future of our food system and our planet. Our demand, a food system without Conflict Palm Oil, is bold, ambitious and urgently needed. Because of your willingness to stand up and demand action, we are driving change through the palm oil supply chain.
Thanks to you, the May 20th Global Day of Action to Cut Conflict Palm Oil was a tremendous success. The stories of actions across the globe are inspiring and the numbers impressive: Over 100 events took place in the US, 38 events were hosted abroad and 700 people said they would attend events around the world. Online, PepsiCo heard from thousands of you—its Facebook pages were flooded, its phone lines filled, and the #InYourPalm message was spread far and wide. The photos from Tuesday's actions are moving; check out the photo album on our Facebook page (and tag yourself if you're in one)!
For over a year, PepsiCo has refused to adopt a responsible palm oil policy, but just 2 days before the Global Day of Action the snack food giant released a new commitment. It's not strong enough yet, but it's a start. Thanks to the powerful work, commitment and creativity that Palm Oil Activists poured into the Day of Action, PepsiCo knows that we won't back down until it cuts Conflict Palm Oil from its global product lines once and for all.
As I think about what we're accomplishing, a quote about movements like the one that we are building from from one of my heroes, Indian writer and activist Arundhati Roy, keeps coming to mind:
"Our strategy should be not only to confront empire, but to lay siege to it. To deprive it of oxygen. To shame it. To mock it. With our art, our music, our literature, our stubbornness, our joy, our brilliance, our sheer relentlessness – and our ability to tell our own stories. Stories that are different from the ones we're being brainwashed to believe. The corporate revolution will collapse if we refuse to buy what they are selling – their ideas, their version of history, their wars, their weapons, their notion of inevitability. Remember this: We be many and they be few. They need us more than we need them. Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing."
Because of you, we are close to a tipping point in our campaign to cut Conflict Palm Oil. Together we are transforming the policies of one of the largest Fortune 500 companies in the world as well as shifting the paradigm for how palm oil companies operate in Indonesia.Thank you for joining us in demanding healthy, intact rainforests, a world without slave labor and a future in which unique species like elephants and orangutans are thriving.
A special thanks to the Palm Oil Action Team, our group of super activists who were the first to step up and take action online, volunteer to host events, and to help organize the Day of Action. Our movement is getting stronger. You too can step up and join the Palm Oil Action Team here.
Breaking: Global Day of Action Underway!
We're winning. Because of you, PepsiCo is reeling. Over 300,000 of you have demanded PepsiCo cut Conflict Palm Oil from its products.
Today, our Global Day of Action to Cut Conflict Palm Oil is sweeping the world, ratcheting up the pressure for PepsiCo to break its ties to deforestation, human rights abuses and climate pollution. A moment ago, RAN unfurled a massive 60 foot banner exposing the impacts of Conflict Palm Oil at the Sweets and Snacks Expo in Chicago.
From the rainforests of Indonesia and Malaysia to cities across Australia and the UK, to the beaches of San Francisco and Brazil, students, families and ordinary people have organized themselves in droves today to send a clear and united message to PepsiCo and its peers: the time to eliminate Conflict Palm Oil from your products is now.
PepsiCo is scrambling—the fact that the snack food giant released a new palm oil commitment just a few days ago is evidence of this. But, it's not strong enough and lacks safeguards on human rights and a binding, time bound action plan to cut Conflict Palm Oil. NOW is the time to give PepsiCo the final push for real change for forests and the communities that depend on them. We have PepsiCo's attention.
Now here's how we win:
1. Let's take over Pepsi's Facebook page. Cut and paste this message as a comment: #PepsiCo, cut Conflict Palm Oil! The power is #InYourPalm. http://a.ran.org/ad
2. Let's make our voice heard on Twitter: Hey @PepsiCo, I can't stand by brands that use Conflict #PalmOil. The power is #InYourPalm
3. Let's talk to the people who represent PepsiCo: (+1)(914) 253-2000 Here is a guide to what you can say: "Hi, my name is [your name]. I'm taking part in the Global Day of Action. It concerns me that your company cannot guarantee that it is not using Conflict Palm Oil in its products. PepsiCo must demand responsible palm oil from its suppliers and eliminate Conflict Palm Oil from its products. PepsiCo's taken a step in the right direction by releasing a new palm oil commitment, but a statement of intent is not the same as a binding, time bound responsible palm oil policy. For PepsiCo to meet consumer expectations, it must adopt an action plan to eliminate Conflict Palm Oil from its products that includes full traceability of palm oil back to its source and independently verified safeguards for human rights, forests and peatlands.Thank you"
Because of YOU we have built a movement to cut Conflict Palm Oil from our food supply. We're just getting warmed up—thanks for being a part of this.
A New Chapter for the Publishing Industry: Putting Promises into Practice
We don't get to do this as often as we would like. Today, we get to share some good news with you. Thanks to your hard work and support over the past four years, the world's top publishers are moving in the right direction when it comes to eliminating rainforest destruction, human rights violations, and species extinction from their supply chains.
We're publishing A New Chapter for the Publishing Industry: Putting Promises into Practice today, which outlines the shift in the entire sector as the implementation of publishers' Indonesian forest commitments proceeds. Given the progress that publishers have undertaken in the last four years (since our 2010 report), we can confidently say that you have successfully prodded the 10 biggest publishers—and hence the whole industry—in the right direction. Click here to read the new report.
To really illustrate the point, we are pleased to tell you about two recently announced paper policies from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and Macmillan. These policies go farther, in many ways, than past commitments from other companies. They demonstrate a new level of thoughtfulness and attention to detail—and a fierce commitment to eliminating controversial fiber and suppliers in order to protect the forests facing the greatest threats. Over the last four years, RAN has worked closely with publishers to develop and innovate the best practices for eliminating controversial fiber and suppliers from supply chains, and verifying and implementing forest commitments. What has emerged is a set of best practices (spelled out in the report) that could guide companies--not just in paper but in many forest commodities--in tracing their supply chains and protecting forests in the process. Of course, there's still work to be done.
In order to translate this work to change on the ground, publishers should urge all of their supply chain partners to develop and implement strong, comprehensive paper policies. And, in particular, all companies should either stop buying (or maintain their no-buy stance) on controversial Indonesian pulp and paper giant APRIL and all affiliated companies.
RSVP to join me in a chat on May 27, 2014 to find out how you can help us keep publishers on the right track or to read the report here.
Of course, this transformative work would never have been possible without you. While much of this work has happened behind the scenes, you were with us every step of the way through your commitment to RAN and its work.
Join the Global Day of Action to Cut Conflict Palm Oil: The Power is #InYourPalm
I recently heard Jane Goodall speak about the importance of having hope in a time when our planet's natural systems teeter on the brink of collapse. She compared climate change to a titanic ship that takes a while to build up momentum, but once it gains speed, it may be too huge and too fast to turn to avoid the iceberg in its path. We're currently on that ship - all of humanity, together. Which means that our children's future depends on the choices you and I make today. We can either quickly respond to the signs all around us that point to climate catastrophe and jump on board this "all hands on deck" moment to stop climate change or we can idly stand by and watch our ship sink.
As a new mom, slowing climate change by protecting our tropical forests – the largest greenhouse gas storage tank in the world -- and transforming our broken industrial food system, is more important and more personal to me than ever before. There is nothing like the love and fierce protection a mother feels for her children, which is why in honor of Mother's Day I am taking matters into my own hands to fight for the world that my son will inherit, starting in my own kitchen.
How can I tackle climate change from my very own kitchen, you may ask? By joining the Global Day of Action to Cut Conflict Palm Oil on May 20.
Our food and our climate are inextricably linked. About 75% of global palm oil is used in food products and cooking, and roughly 90% of it is grown in Indonesia & Malaysia, where the scale of destruction is so large that it is having globally significant impacts on the climate, similar in scale to the world's biggest coal and tar sands projects. Deforestation in Indonesia is responsible for some 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, which is more than the combined emissions from all the millions of cars, trucks, trains, and buses in the U.S. each year combined.
Are you feeding your family Conflict Palm Oil? It's a hidden ingredient in the foods most of us are feeding our families every day that is enslaving children, killing endangered orangutans, and destroying the rainforest. America's snack makers are putting Conflict Palm Oil in everything from baby formula to kids' snacks, and Rainforest Action Network has put them on notice that this practice must stop.
Take, for instance, PepsiCo - the largest globally distributed snack food company in the world. PepsiCo is the biggest and most influential of the Snack Food 20 companies that has yet to take steps to address its Conflict Palm Oil problem. PepsiCo has the power to break the link between the products you buy and rainforest destruction, but they won't until you, the consumer, demand it.
Moms and Dads, in honor of Mother's day, will you join me in asking one of the largest makers of kids snacks, PepsiCo, to do the right thing and cut Conflict Palm Oil from the food we're feeding our families every day? We have a powerful voice. Pepsi will listen if we speak! There is a way to get palm oil that doesn't enslave children and make orangutans extinct.
Working together, we have the power to win a tremendous victory for people and the planet by challenging business as usual and forcing the palm oil industry to respect the rights of workers and communities, protect orangutan habitat and the rainforests that play a crucial role in combating climate change. We can break the link between deforestation, human rights violations and the foods our families eat everyday.
On May 20, mothers, fathers, teachers, and youth around the world will be hosting photo actions around the globe, calling on PepsiCo to cut Conflict Palm Oil from its supply chain. We believe that the power is #InYourPalm and when you speak PepsiCo will have no choice but to listen. This is why we are asking everyone to host an action that includes the words #InYourPalm. All you have to do is take a photo of your action so we can send it to PepsiCo and demand change. With your help, these actions can be a catalyst for change at PepsiCo and throughout the entire snack food industry.
These actions may be big or small, in parks, on college campuses, homes, or at Pepsi branded locations around the world. They will each be unique, but they'll have a two things in common: they will include #InYourPalm in some way, shape or form and will connect local activists around the globe who are united in a goal to end rainforest destruction and human rights violations caused by the production of Conflict Palm Oil for PepsiCo's snacks foods.
Will you join me? Together we can convince PepsiCo to prioritize the future of our children and cut Conflict Palm Oil to save orangutans from extinction!

Pure Ti XL Race BMX$550 GPB
Hi all The time has come for me to sell my race bmx. Moving aboard means I will no longer be able to use it and its a waste sat doing nothing. The spec; Pure Titanium Frame. It is size XL. As you can you can see in the photos there are absolutely no dents or cracks in the frame just a few small scratches which is to be expected of a used bike. The frame has the serial number PXL005 which gives a clue as to how few there are. You will also be able to see where team rider Dan McBride inscribed his name next to the serial number. After he had an upgrade I bought this frame directly frrom Pure. The wheels are Sun Ringle Envy Rims laced onto Anodized purple Profile mini hubs. Rolling speed is incredable. These were custom built to be super strong and lightweight and havent seen alot of use since. I never really got to ride the bike as much as I wanted. Maxxis D-T-H Race Tyres - Loads of life left in them. Sinz BMX Race Forks. Xtr Brake and lever, some scuff marks to the lever and handle bars beneath. Coalitation Bars fixed to a Superstar stem. FSA Headset - works perfectly, lovely and smooth running. BlueLabel Lockon Grips. Felt seat - which has a rip in it. (Can be seen in the photos) Sinz seatpost - has been cut down slightly to save weight but still plenty left on it to be safe. Sinz 180mm Race Cranks. There are no pedals on the bike. It will come as it is seen in the photos. There will also be a Renthal 44T Chain Ring I will throw in with the bike if I get the right price. I cant begin to describe how much I dont want to sell this bike. It cost me alot to build and its my prized possesion but as I said before moving abroad forces sale. I am open to sensible offers. Dont want any trades thanks. The bike is currently located near Crewe - Cheshire. There may be a chance of transporting it to Devon within the next fortnight but for this to happen I would have to be 100% that it is sold and a deposit would be required before I move it. I am happy to package to bike up should you wish to organise your own postage. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have about the bike. Extra photos can be arranged if required. Adam

Pinkbike's Burning Question - Should You Support Your Local Bike Shop or Buy Online?
Its a healthy balance between both. Not all of us can afford to buy the more expensive items from the LBS as you can achieve better prices online. However for cheap items, such as grips, chains, little things does it hurt to spend a couple of extra quid if that to support a local community. I know my main Local shop has a fair role to play in helping to keep trails alive, plus the guys that work there a legends. You may also find the more times you visit youre local shop the more the staff will get to know you, and I personally have managed to get myself a nice chunk of discount from knowing the guys that run it. Plus if the parts you need are in stock you get it there and then which has saved my skin more than a few times now. Any decent bike shop will be massively grateful for the business you do give them and the fact I know im helping the keep biking enthusiasts in a job so they can afford to do the sport we all love so much, i dont mind spending a couple of extra quid. And finally i have struggled in the past to weigh up the many options for parts available online, there is too many parts and each items description is purely from the manufacturers that dont have a bad thing to say about their parts. Once you have got to know youre shops staff a little bit they will be in a much better place to help balance the pro's and con's to make that all important decision. Dont be stingy and help people a little!

The NSW Government has recently released the Work Health and Safety Management Systems and Auditing Guidelines (Edition 5). These guidelines seek to enable NSW government agencies, which undertake construction and infrastructure projects, to work with the construction industry to:
- Improve safety outcomes for the construction industry;
- Provide a consistent, minimum standard for construction companies seeking construction projects with the NSW government;
- Enable a safety management systems approach by construction contractors;
- Increase productivity & efficiency by improving planning and reducing workplace incidents;
- Support NSW government agencies in meeting their obligations under Work Health and Safety (WHS) laws.
The Guidelines require that all contracts valued at $1 million or more must require tenderers to provide evidence of an acceptable corporate WHS Management System.
Those contractors who have already been certified under the previous program or the federal scheme may be deemed acceptable. New entrants or those who have left their accreditation lapse must apply under the Work Health and Safety Management Systems and Auditing Guidelines Edition 5.
OSHEM Solutions can assist your organise to achieve accreditation either through designing a WHS Management System that meets the prequalification requirements or by one of our Authorised Assessors carrying out an audit of your WHS Management System against the criteria contained within the 5th edition NSW Govts Health and Safety Management Systems and Auditing Guidelines.

WYSIWYG HTML editors
I am looking for a simple WYSIWYG HTML editor to edit simple pages, that will work in Windows 7
Any suggestions?
I am not building web sites or applications .. I simply have a few local visual web pages that I run off a local drive ( kindda like portal pages). Dirt simple. Modest needs!
For years, I have been using Microsoft Frontpage 2000 - it was perfect. I still ahve the CD, but t would like not work anymore with WIndows 7 / Office 2003..and I dont want to start corrupting files.
So I am looking for a replacement . either free or up to $50.
I tried WebPlus, but gave up after 30 minutes of convoluted back and forth licencring and activation nonesene... on the free version!!. It insisted on a prodcut key, not supplied, and there were no retuen email address - and no one to write to and no way to contact them, with going thru dozens of FAQ pages. GOODBYE. Thats 30 minutes I will never get back.
I downloaded Komposer, but there was no way to isntall it. No setpup file; onlynested zip files. GOODBYE.
I downlaoded NVU, same as Komposer. Hopeless.
I really did not want ro go back to NOTEPAD, but , gotta say, its looking really really really good right now! In fact I will be changing my IE9 default web editor to NOTEPAD for now ( if it takes it)
Was hoping there we would at leat ONE product out there, that worked on Windows 7, that could easily be downaloded and installed, in less than two hours,, and had a WYSIWYG editor, to edit a local web page. I know thats pushing the limits, but I thought bieng 2011 and all, there might be something out there.
I apologize for my sarcasm - its jsut that this is so absolutely frustrating. After all my seasoned years of computing, and all the advances, I was hoping for much better Windows experience. Its consuming so much of my valuable time judt to getthe basics going. Time ways from my family, hobbies ...and use of the computer !!! . judt had another nightmare with PerfectDisk12- It never ends.
This forum is the only saving grace

I havn't used wysiwyg for a long time here as I tend to manage my personal site using CMS (Joomla) but apart from the above suggestions have you tried Coffecup? As far as I am aware there is a free version and also a paid version. May be worth checking out - Free HTML Editor | CoffeeCup Software
I did use to find that there are times when hand coding is needed to adjust bad automatic wysiwyg coding. In cases like this it is better to have a good text editor, you have already mentioned notepad but have you also tried notepad++

Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center
I still have an occasional need to use Frontpage 2000. My solution was to install it on XP mode as a part of MsOffice 2000 Premium. For some reason it crashed often, so I went through my old disk / diskette / CD archives and found install media for Windows 2000, installed it to a virtual machine, installed Office 2000 and I'm happy now, works like a charm.
I honestly can recommend this solution. Due to non-existing integration components for pre-XP OS's I do not recommend installing Windows 2000 to a Microsoft Virtual PC, but both VirtualBox (VirtualBox Guest Additions) and VMware Player (VMware Tools integration components support Win2000, VMware Tools even older Window versions.
Find a copy of Win2000, it's dirt cheap even if you have to buy it. Download then VirtualBox or VMware Player virtualization platform (both are free), create a Win2000 virtual machine, install your FronPage 2000, and you are ready to go.

I've used Blue Griffon and think it's a great program. You can get it here
And OpenOffice works really well too - the writer module will save in html. Only other one I can think of is Mozilla's SeaMonkey project.
Anyway I've used all of those three and like them a lot.
Good Luck!

Windows 7 32 bit
I used Netscape Composer, NVU, Kompozer and some others. Also just tried to do stuff in .rtf format and convert it. There always seemed to be a point where I couldn't do what I wanted, even though it should have been simple. I was blocked by the tool(free I'm talking. Maybe there's a $1000 suite that's just wiz bang but I ain't got me no thousand dollars as the pissed off English Teacher once protested!)
I'm no site designer. But eventually a bit the bullet and used PsPad
I read up on css style sheet basics and kept hitting the online html tag references. Also asked on web programming forums when I got stuck. The wysiwyg editors get you going quickly but unless you're determined to use that tool to maintain it, you find you can't read the output. Like 800 " "s scattered all around. Just a jumble of crap.
What I was trying to do was simple. I think I might have one line of Java Script on my pages. But I like PsPad. The whole conglommeration of files is contained as a Project. Includes Tidy to make your messy source readable. Some pros may not like Tidy but for us amateurs it helps.
Besides, you might have fun struggling to indent some text on the page!! Man is that way more difficult than it should be if you don't use like 20 " "s per line!!

I have tried many cleansers and they have all left my skin feeling tight and dry. With some of them I even broke out in a splotchy rash! Honeydew Cleanser is the greatest all-around facial cleanser I've ever used...and I've been using it for 4 years. It's gentle, yet removes all traces of make-up, though I only use a bit of blush and undereye liner. If you have sensitive skin, or even if you don't, try MyChelle's Honeydew Cleanser. You won't be disappointed.

I have used this product for years and find that it works better than anything else. I have Rosacea and therefore extremely sensitive skin and this cleanser has not caused any irritation. I don't even bother to try anything else!

I have a very sensitive and dehydrated skin what means a lot of products are not suitable for me. I've tried several products from different brands which didn't work well on my face. Since I got this cleanser product my skin looks better, soft and not irritated. The only thing I don't like it too much is that this product needs to be rinsed and the water where I live is very calcareous what is like poison to my skin. I'm gonna try with mineral water or water from the rain and I'm sure it'll work perfectly. I encourage you to try this cleanser and you'll see the results by yourself. On the other hand I must say I'm delighted with iherb because they give a great deal to its customers and delivered without any problem. Have a nice day!

Love discovering garage sale bargains, but find tracking down sales frustrating? With MOGASA as your guide, garage sale treasure hunting just got a lot easier. Some of our most prized possessions are the treasures we've uncovered at local garage sales. There's really nothing better than the thrill that comes with discovering a beautiful piece of artwork or the missing album from your record collection hidden amongst garage-sale goods. These items hold a special place in our homes, and the stories behind how we found them are ones we share with pride and joy every chance we get. But the most rewarding part of garage sale shopping is the fact that we pay a fraction of what we would at a big-named store. The only downside is the wasted gas and hours (something none of us can afford to spare) that go into tracking down those elusive neon sale signs and scouring through the paper and online sites. We wanted to build a mobile application that would take the headache out of this process and make it easy to find MOre GArage SAles right in our backyard. And out of this need, MOGASA was born!
