The word originally denoted a fold or flap of a garment (compare with lapel), later specifically one that could be used as a pocket or pouch, or the front of a skirt when held up to carry something ( Middle English), hence the area between the waist and knees as a place where a child could be nursed or an object held.

My name is Sophia & Jerry!
Facts about Sophia & Jerry

Sophia & Jerry's Info...
I am up to date with shots.
Two beautiful 5 week old kittens rescued from a kill shelter.
Appointment Needed. LBHS's "Kitty Cove" is located inside the Pet Supplies Plus Store, (down aisle 6), 3644 Long Beach Rd, Oceanside, NY 11572

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sophia & Jerry, a Island Park Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Island Park, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Island Park.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Island Park already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Island Park breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Island Park paves the way for another one to be saved.

Theodore Roosevelt Bronze Bust
Sale Price: $406.95
To Order by Phone Call 1-800-933-6249
- Additional Details
- Dimensions: 20.5"
- Made In: USA
Americas twenty-sixth President Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919), embodied the national spirit of daring exploits, thoughtful intelligence, and enduring accomplishments. Wielder of the Big Stick, member of the Rough Riders and builder of the Panama Canal, Teddy Roosevelt was also an avid conservationist, a prolific writer, and a zealous advocate of the strenuous life.
Gleb Derujinsky was born into the aristocratic golden age of late 19th Century Russia and immigrated to New York the year Roosevelt died, 1919. Derujinskys classical and religious sculptures quickly gained critical acclaim, and over the next fifty-six years he won a series of Gold Medals, art exhibitions, and important commissions. The Theodore Roosevelt Bust was completed in 1920 to grace the memorial reconstruction of Roosevelts birthplace. The New York City home where Roosevelt lived until he was 14 years old is now the Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace National Historic Site, containing five period rooms, two museum galleries and a bookstore.

Without a Budget in Place, Legislature Wastes Time on Social Issues
Source: The Human Rights Campaign
The Human Rights Campaign (HRC), admonished the Minnesota legislature for ignoring the real needs of Minnesotans and instead placing an anti-marriage am endment on the 2012 ballot. The state House passed the proposal by a 70-62 vote, following Senate action last week.
"At a time when all Minnesota families are sharing concerns over the economy, it is appalling that the legislature would seek to harm a segment of those families rather than pass a budget," said Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese. "We are confident, however, that when November 2012 arrives, Minnesotans will reject these divisive tactics."
HRC has been working closely with OutFront Minnesota, Project 515, supportive legislators, labor and other progressive organizations in the state to oppose this measure in the legislature. Together, the group has been planning a winning campaign to defeat this amendment with the newly formed coalition, Minnesotans United for All Families.
"Minnesota voters are being asked to amend our constitution to ban same-sex marriage. In 2012, Minnesota will vote "NO" on this anti-family ballot question. In Minnesota, we treat others like we want to be treated," said campaign spokesperson Donald McFarland. "Our campaign is hitting the ground running and we plan on using every resource available to defeat this anti-family constitutional amendment. I invite every Minnesotan to take the first step in defeating this measure by visiting www.minnesotansunitedforallfamilies.org and signing up to volunteer."
Currently, 29 states have constitutional amendments prohibiting marriage for same-sex couples. However, a recent Star-Tribune poll showed the majority of Minnesota residents oppose the amendment.

The LK tank will has three points (in a straight line, not a triangle) at which he tanks at. Each time ghouls are spawned he'll pull the LK to another point dragging the melee along with LK out of where they're spawning to avoid melee AoE, allowing me to come in and pickup the new ghouls. The trickiest part to this timing the shockwaves as to not let one mow down the rest of the raid. There is a cast time on the shockwave and the direction is not set at the beginning of the cast so you can somewhat guide the direction of the shockwave while its being cast.
And yes, I was on LK the first couple of attempts and he constantly readjusts.

Make all thread go away pls. Has all bad false rumor about Magic Elevator.
|Russell Crowe
Wow! I just read 6 pages... It really really is interesting to this. Anyone is crazy to work with this company. It's a sure sign of desperation from the people defending magic elevator. It's also funny that this is the only forum that FilmProducer and Aleksandra have been posting in. SCAM SCAM SCAM. If someone falls for this they deserve it because they didn't do homework.
|Johnny Depp
I have to jump in on this one. Bjorn here (not Joey).
While this sounds crazy and I'm almost certain what Secret Agent Man will say. The general rule applies here, it sounds crazy, it's a sham, WATCH OUT, turn around and run.
That said,
In the age of indie gogo and kickstarter there are multiple ways to finance and produce work, as Actors you are your own producer. Why do so many successful Actors have their own production companies? I cannot speak for anyone else or the validity of 'Magic Elevator' pro or con I won't even critique the quality of work.
However, I am currently involved in a project (no relation to Magic Elevator) that involves a group of working Actors from guest stars to b player regulars on currently airing cable and network shows mixed with a small crew, myself included all putting money and vast amounts of time into the film's production.
For our project everyone has an equal stake in the equity of the film. We all come with our own valuable contacts within the industry and we all come with a different skill sets. There was a time when films were seen as an art and what I'm finding with this project I am a part of is that it is a collaboration piece, a group of Artists each with a different color painting on a single canvas. Is it running smoothly? It is so far, no egos and every hiccup (and there has been many) that every production goes through has thus far been met with shoulder shrugs, "it could be worse" and "this is normal, don't stress"...
Are Agents involved? Yes, and it wasn't as hard of a sell as I thought it would be. The big Agencies are production companies or they have that ability and usually tie these services with their top level talent on both sides of the camera. (Disclosure: We are not part of the big 3) The smaller Agencies understand this model even if they don't have that reach themselves. While we are NOT getting funds via the Agencies, we are getting support and access to their network of connections, assuming the final product is up to snuff.
Who pays what?
The material costs have been split pretty evenly.
Travel: paid my the individual.
Lodging: paid my the individual (we ended up pitching in for an RV instead of hotels, it was a lot of fun and we generally ended the nights with smores. Actors came and went, the crew remained minus some scheduling conflicts.) This kept us near the locations, and allowed us opportunistic shots we didn't even think of timing was everything.
Paid Work: No One, not Actors, not crew. No labor or "my rates" were paid. Equity in the project is evenly spilt.
What about makeup? The materials were paid under materials. No rate was paid. Equity in film yes.
Sound? Batteries yes, Rate Nope, equity yes.*
Camera? Nope, equity yes. (Small rental for a particular shot covered by materials.)*
PA? Nope, equity yes.
Editor? Nope, equity yes.
Costumes? Costs yes, "rate" no.
Script? NO, NO ONE got PAID up front, equity yes.
*There were a few items that worked out to be cheaper to buy than rent, or it was time to update that piece of equipment. We did some creative math, by adding to the individuals equity stake and allowing a fraction of the would be rental fee to be used toward the purchase of the equipment, on agreed to terms.**
**Front of camera talent and the director held veto power, the written pre agreed to budget held the most power. Originally we were set to come in slightly underbudget. Then 2 unique opportunities were presented that would cause us to go over budget after a discussion we split the cost for 1, and the 2nd was paid for by a single individual in exchange for an increased equity stake.
What about distribution?
Plan 1: It's all about who you know. With currently working Actors this is a HUGH foot in the door + connections to acquisitions departments and promotion between small fan networks.
Plan 2: Budgeted for festival entries with group agreed minimum sale price if it even comes to that. However festival buys are generally buyouts and studios love to lose profit, ask Ed Burns. The Brothers McMullen Newlyweds Nice Guy Johnny
Interview about budgets and pay.
Plan 3: Online Distribution. (research how much hulu, crackle, and heaps of other outlets are prepared to pay for original content.
Plan 4: Have a private screening, laugh have a smore, use fake names for credits.
Does any of this guarantee success? NO WAY, and that's the gamble we are all taking. A gamble on the project and a gamble on each other. I've been to casino, I far prefer this production gamble and it has been way more fun.
Filmmaking is an immersive process, the mafia doesn't invest in films like they used to. Funding comes from all over and I would prefer to invest in myself. As an Actor you are counting on others, other Actors, the crew the edit, the sound and at the end of the day you have no authority over these positions. If you are paying into a project you have to think, what am I paying for. If the question is who am I paying then it's not a collaboration, it's a service. If it is a collaboration project like a film, in my own humble opinion it probably comes from organic relationships and introductions. A completely different vetting process than going to an audition to pay to be in a film. After all I wouldn't be willing to gamble on someone I didn't know and I'd assume their main talent could possibly be their ability to pay the fee.
Would I do a collaboration/investment again? Yes, without a doubt if the project is right and I trust the mix of talented individuals. I'd love to work with the same group however doesn't it feel weird when Actors and Directors keep working with the same Actors and Directors? I do know there are a couple stories brewing between different members of group, but it could have very well been a once in a lifetime meeting of minds. Who knows, Kill Bill came out of a story Tarantino and Uma joked about on the set of pulp fiction years before it became a reality.
Today, you can pay $800 and have someone film a reel for you and that is seen as a service, not too long ago it was a sham. Maybe this model Magic Elevator is working on will soon be seen as a long play reel opportunity, maybe it won't. That will all depend on who or what is getting paid for.
Sorry for the long reply, I spent way more time on this diddy than I anticipated.
All the best,
|Johnny Depp
As if I didn't spend too much time on this, I should have read it first. Now I read from page one... and yes, The general rule applies here, it sounds crazy, it's a sham, WATCH OUT, turn around and run. However, I think this topic is a huge benefit, after all it's pretty easy to tell what is going on and it protects more people by waving this around for all to see. It'd make a great series of articles, from this "setup" to legit alternative funding, like kickstarter & indie gogo all the way through to how these type of contracts actually work in the real world. Festival acquisitions, distribution and royalties, gross vs net profits and yes a 5k investment should include your rep and a lawyer.
p.s. I laughed out loud at least once a page so if anything keep it up for comedic value.
|Johnny Depp
About two weeks ago we had a shoot with an Actor, an Actor who is currently at Cannes now (2013). I noticed the film he was in was produced by Magic Elevator while it sounded familiar I didn't make the connection until I googled it and found myself linking back here, to this topic. I must apologize.
Magic Elevator does have an entry in Cannes 2013, "Seven-Nine." Looking over their website again, maybe even more in depth than before and feel obligated to say that they are not a scam. They are not promising anything they have not delivered. For proof, by a ticket to France where they are currently promoting their collectively produced film. Maybe this could be used as inspiration to what a few people can do with a little investment from everyone. I myself am a little bit inspired.
|Morgan Freeman
Joey you sound like you actually know what you are doing, you have a good team, and it was very generous of you to share your process here. So I commend you on that, I'm sure great things will come out of this project.
As for the "congratulations you've been selected to audition and pay your cash" people (not just magic elevator), I would advise actors against it until they determine that it makes good monetary sense because they seldom offer parts or projects worth investments of thousands of dollars via la casting. Learn about how people make money in this industry BEFORE you offer to produce ANYTHING. Producing is nothing like acting. It's 100% smarts, connections, and sales!
Laugh when people try to take you as a fool.

text: Tens of thousands of Michigan residents are waiting for the electricity to come back on following storms that hit Saturday night into Sunday. The National Weather Service had issued an ice storm warning for the area and two nearby counties got a coating of ice by Sunday morning. That left a few thousand without power in Sanilac County and upwards of 28,000 still off the grid as of this morning in Lapeer County. DTE Energy says Lapeer County was one of the hardest hit in the storm that many feared could have been a lot worse. Saint Clair County's Emergency Operation Center was partially activated Saturday night to monitor the approaching storm and handle any emergency calls. The storm for the most part missed the area with only a few hundred DTE Energy customers without power. The utility says crews are working 16-hour shifts to get as many people as possible back on line by Christmas Day.

My wife and I saw Brave yesterday and LOVED it!!
Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. ― Apple Inc.
I saw it last night and loved it.
I took my family to see it last night. very good movie. It didnt "move" me like other pixar movies have. but it was very well done. my wife agreed and said it was good, but she actually didnt even like it as much as tangled, and that bothered her, cause she wanted to be blown away.
Saw it last night. I really liked it. It didn't surpass Up! as my favorite Pixar movie, but it might have surpassed Monsters Inc. and Toys Story 3. Perhaps my second favorite Pixar movie?
I loved the scene where:
Merida stands up at the archery tournament and says that as first born she will compete for her own hand. I loved how she just walked past all the targets, firing the arrows dead center into each target while her mother was screaming for her to stop. Very powerful depiction of the strength of Merida's character!

"We have a Ram-Man"
The only reason that I may check this out (and I'm not yet sure if it will be in theaters or if I'll wait for the Blu-Ray release) is because it is Pixar and their films are almost always very entertaining and of high quality. So, hopefully my tune will change when I eventually see it (either way I won't be rushing to the theater any time in the immediate future to see it). But for now, something about it (based on the ads) just seems very "blahhhh....".
Leela: "What's the secret of time travel doing on Fry's ass?"
Fry: "It was bound to be somewhere!"
I saw it. It's was really good, just yeah, just blah. It felt like a Disney movie (a good one) a opposed to a Pixar movie like Wall-E or Up.
I thought it was great. It isn't their best work (Wall-E), but it definitely is no where near their worst (Cars). The biggest problem with the movie is that it needed a full fledged villian instead of just a last minute one. There was really no conflict in it. The other issue with the movie is Pixar played this one safe. Due to its nature, look at How to Train Your Dragon. The movie took risks, there were consequences to the characters' actions. This movie, however, had none of that. Even Cars 2 (which is for some reason is everyone's most hated Pixar movie) had consequnces.
Can someone PM me the US number for Matty? I want to talk to someone who might has a clue of what is going on.
Evil will always triumph because good is dumb.
My biggest fear was this was going to be another "Disney Princess" story. I was very happy to see that that wasn't the case. Normally, in those sort of storys, the Princess doesn't want to get married, resists, but then ends up falling in love (Aladdin anyone?). I was glad to see they took it in a different direction. As others have said, not Pixars best work, but the story was decent. I loved how they updated their software too for this to really make the environment stand out. Simply stunning visual work as usual. But you could totally see that their were "creative" differences during the production and you can see where the old direct left and new one came in. It really felt like two different things were going on with this movie. It worked out decently i guess, but it was still a part i could see and that still kinda bugs me. It kept the movie from being a great one.
for me, now sitting a few days out I cant help but think, the movie could have gone so much farther than it did. someone on here mentioned that the moment of her at the archery range was amazing. I agree. i thought that she thought out of the box, but wasn't really breaking any rules.
you could then have gone more into:
role of a woman, and how it changes.
relationship between mother and daughter, and how moms want the best for their kids
her wanting to break free from being a princess.......
all of these points would have been great to expand upon, and grow with.
I know that they dabbled in the whole mom daughter thing, but seriously, they could have explored so much more of that relationship, instead of just, funny then serious momma bear moments, to a hugging mom at the end and saying "sorry i wished for you to be "changed".....
it was just SO random that she wanted a change, went to a witch and BAM the change was....... TURNING into a bear!!!!!! the thought process behind this whole scene and choice was just so disconnected compared to other pixar movies which seemed to even have meaning in things you DON'T notice.....
don't get me wrong it was fun, and my children liked it. but the whole, "it didn't move me as much, and i couldn't put my finger on it" has been making me mad, so i have tried to go through it in my head.
BTW, the 3D is not that good in this movie, and I love 3D. There are just way too many scenes that the camera moves around too quick for the 3D to stay in focus.

Very good movie i should say but not as uplifting as the Toy Story Trilogy or Up for that matter but just plain fun like Incredibles, a huge improvement over the disappointing Cars 2 and feels almost like a Ghibli movie sort of speak.
Any guys here thought Merdia was foxy for a CGI character? i do especially with that fine figure and stunning hair, i think she's the foxiest warrior princess in animation since Adora and Taarna from Heavy Metal.

Interview with Turtle Island Marketing Manager Monica Laurence
A) For your week on Turtle Island, what is absolutely luxurious is your personal concierge, or as we affectionately call her, your "Bure Mama". She tends to your every need, your every whim, making sure you have the pampered relaxation, privacy and service you crave.
Q) Are there any "must-try" dishes or drinks at the resort that guests should order?
A) Kokoda, a Fijian-style ceviche, is a specialty in Fiji. Paired with a crisp white wine from our well-stocked cellar, it makes the perfect light, tropical lunch.
Q) What is something about your property that guests may not know?
A) While a world away, Turtle Island is just a 10-hour overnight flight from Los Angeles, followed by a scenic 30-minute flight by seaplane. And when you depart, we send you off with a photo album filled with snapshots of you. Leave your cares - and even your camera - behind. We've got you in our sights!

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

EdgeStar Server Room 14,000 BTU Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioner - Silver Model:AP14009COM
Frequently Bought Together
Guaranteed Next Day Shipping (details)
Description & Highlights25 Reviews | Write a Review
EdgeStar Server Room 14,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner - Silver
Great for overheated server and computer rooms or larger spaces in need of powerful cooling, the EdgeStar Server Room 14,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner (AP14009COM) is one of the most powerful Portable ACs on the market. With an impressive 14,000 BTUs and a Dual Hose design, you can expect this unit to quickly and easily cool up to 525 sq. ft. of space.
Continuous Cooling:Due to the self-evaporative design, you can leave the unit running overnight without having to worry about emptying water condensate
Dual Hose Design:Separate intake and exhaust hoses allow for more air intake, more cooling power, and a more stable air pressure, which all contribute to a 40% faster cooling rate than similar single-hosed units (this unit can be used as a single hose unit, as well)
Energy Efficiency Ratio:This portable air conditioner has an impressively high 11.2 EER, meaning that it consumes significantly less energy than others in its class
Standby Mode:Despite producing high levels of cooling power, the highly-efficient control board enables it to have a low power usage rate when in standby mode-- When operational, it still only costs a little more than a dollar to run all day
Energy Saving Programmable Features:Cut costs by setting the unit to run only when you need it, and have it efficiently cool your space before you even get there using the 24 hour programmable timer-- The timer allows you to set the unit to cycle on automatically, or once it is on, you can set it to automatically turn off
Intelligent Auto Restart:This unit's auto restart function stores your settings, so that in case of a power outage, it will pick right back up where it left off when power is regained
Three (3) Speed Fan:Find your perfect setting and control noise and air output by choosing a high, medium, or low fan setting
Easy-to-Use Window Kit:Venting your portable air conditioner is a simple three step process, and your purchase includes all the necessary materials-- Simply connect the vent hoses to the back of the unit, remove the caps from the window vent kit and connect it to the exhaust hoses (If using in a server room or office with no windows, we recommend using a drop ceiling vent kit, which is sold separately)
Eco-Friendly:Designed to be an environmentally friendly product, this portable air conditioner uses non ozone-depleting CFC-free refrigerants and is made of all RoHS compliant components that are free of harmful chemicals
Superior Reliability:Due to durable construction and design, this portable air conditioner is built to withstand light commercial use
Advance Replacement Warranty:Because of the important applications of this portable air conditioner, EdgeStar backs this unit with a 1 Year Advance Replacement Warranty-- this means that should your unit stop working, they will ship you a new unit immediately, allowing you to then use that packaging to ship back the non-working product

NEWBURGH, N.Y. -- The Newburgh City School District has received a $2.5 million grant from the state Department of Education.
The school says it will use the funds at Temple Hill Academy. There, they will work with several community organizations to help students develop job skills and offer more summer and after school programs. Those organizations include The Greater Hudson Valley Family Health Center, the Boys and Girls Club, and Mount Saint Mary College.
The school also plans to expand its anti-tobacco education and offer access to more affordable, healthy foods.
Newburgh is one of three districts in the state to receive this year's funds. Rochester and Schenectady City School Districts also received the grant.

Boulevard Brewery is located at the corner of 25th Street and Southwest Boulevard in Kansas City, MO and they were in need of additional space to hold beer during the brewing process. Working within the existing facilities, the brewery and their design team at El Dorado decided to locate the new cellar on top of a building. While designing the ironically named roof-top cellar, the team discovered there was an underground river that runs below the northwest corner of the building, channeled by dual 9′x18′ box culverts. Embracing this development, the team sheared the north side of the addition to run parallel with the river and also engages southbound traffic emerging from under a rail overpass. The glass volume holds 8 beer-brewing tanks that are essential to the production of hops beer.
To minimize solar heat gain and maximize daylight, the space features a metal mesh screen on the outside of the northwest and southwest facades. When lighting is needed, the addition makes use of high efficiency T5 fluorescent light fixtures on motion detectors throughout the building to reduce energy use. Natural ventilation keeps the space cool by utilizing the tank temperature differentiation to achieve a natural stack effect in the tower. The roof is covered in a cool, reflective TPO membrane, and the volume features low E-insulated glazing and a heavily insulated wall system filled with blown-in foam. Completed in the summer of 2012, the new cellar provides extra space for needed equipment and gives an updated, modern face to the brewery.

Gold or Water? A Deadly Debate
We are inside a greenhouse, gazing at row after row of hydroponic tomatoes and green peppers, learning why people in this community in northern El Salvador are receiving death threats. We have been sent by The Nation magazine to chronicle the struggle by people here to protect their river from the toxic chemicals of global mining firms intent on realizing massive profits from El Salvador's rich veins of gold.
Before going to the greenhouse, we spend the morning at the home of Carlos Bonilla, a farmer in his sixties whose handsome face is creased with the wisdom, suffering, and joy of decades of struggles for justice. Over a delicious meal of local tortillas, vegetables, and chicken, Carlos and a group of eight young people tell us their stories.
These young people run a radio station, Radio Victoria, where they broadcast to a growing audience across this mountainous terrain. They tell us about giving air time to local leaders who, beginning seven years ago, found themselves facing a new threat: Mining firms, granted permits to explore for gold in the watershed of the great Lempa River (which supplies water to over half the country's 6.2 million people), entered these communities with promises of jobs and prosperity.
Gold is now selling for more than $1500 an ounce. Local organizer Vidalina Morales tells us: "Initially, we thought mining was good and it was going to help us out of poverty…through jobs and development."
But, then, a strange thing happened. A stream dried up near the exploration wells that a Canadian firm, Pacific Rim, was digging. Concerned, Vidalina and other activists traveled to nearby Honduras to meet with members of communities where large mining projects were already underway. They returned with grisly stories of cyanide poisoning the soil and water (cyanide is used to separate the gold from the surrounding rock), and people in mining areas suffering skin diseases and other ailments.
This wasn't what they wanted, especially near the Lempa River. Local people in northern El Salvador began to organize against the mining firms. First, they linked up with other groups across this province of Cabañas to coordinate opposition. Next, they found allies in other provinces and in the capital San Salvador, and they formed a National Roundtable on Mining. After discussion and debate, the Roundtable decided that the only way to save their vital water source was to organize for a national ban on gold and other metals mining.
Then, they tell us, the death threats began. Some came as anonymous phone calls, some as untraceable text messages, some as people were stopped by men in cars. In June 2009, a dynamic local cultural leader, Marcelo Rivera, disappeared; his body was found in the bottom of a well, with signs of torture reminiscent of the bloody civil war that convulsed this region in the 1980s.
Half a year later, two other people opposed to mining were gunned down. One was eight-months pregnant and held her two-year old in her arms when she was murdered. Then, two months ago, a college student volunteer with the Environmental Committee of Cabañas, Juan Francisco Duran, was found dead, two bullet holes to his head. He was last seen in Cabañas putting up anti-mining posters.
As we travel the remote roads of Cabañas with Vidalina and others here, we are struck by how their aspirations are not unlike those of people we have met in the Philippines, Trinidad, and even the United States. They want healthy food and safe drinking water for their kids. They want a vibrant local economy that provides good jobs and livelihoods. They do not want giant firms, unaccountable to them, determining their futures.
Yet in this poor country, where mining firms have spread around a great deal of money and promises, people are getting threatened and killed.
Carlos, Vidalina, Marcelo, Juan Francisco… ordinary people taking extraordinary actions as they protect their water and their democracy. And, in this case, there are simple things that people elsewhere can do to support this struggle for water over gold. To share just one: The Committee in Support of the People of El Salvador (CISPES) is asking people to write the Attorney General of El Salvador to demand a thorough investigation into the killings to find not only the killers but also the "intellectual authors"—the masterminds—behind their actions.
Our next blog will offer another chapter in this story, the fight to get the national Salvadoran government to support the proposed mining ban. And, a subsequent blog will move to the global level of this fight, as U.S. and Canadian mining firms use "free trade" agreements to bring legal cases against El Salvador in international courts.
As we leave Carlos's house that day and visit the greenhouse and communal farm lands, Vidalina entreats us not to write about their struggle as simply a defensive one: "We reject the image of us just as anti-mining. We are for water and a positive future. We want alternatives to feed us, to clothe us."

Amsterdam University College sits at the entrance to Science Park close to Amsterdam's historic seventeenth-century city centre. Francine Houben explains: "Amsterdam University College was designed as an inspiring home for the community of international students and their professors. It's a friendly but robust home with a spacious loft on top." The multi-story building features a series of voids within to connect the various spaces together as well as to channel light from the upper skylights to lower parts of the building. Inside, the educational facility features classrooms, a restaurant, the common room and the study hall.
By tilting the roofs diagonally, in a north-south direction, the sense of being in a loft is strengthened. The roof is covered in moss sedum, which acts as insulation, stormwater collector and serves as water storage. Corteen steel was used to clad the exterior, which ensures it is low maintenance and gives the building a warm yet formal presence that resonates with the architecture of the Science Park. In addition to daylighting and the green roof, the building makes use of efficient strategies like thermal energy storage and concrete core activation to reduce energy use. Amsterdam University College officially opened on September 21st during a ceremony at which Amsterdam councillor Lodewijk Asscher was present.

NFPA 1971: Standard on Protective Ensembles for Structural Fire Fighting and Proximity Fire Fighting, Spanish, 2007 Edition
|Item # 197107E
|Member *
|Quantity Discounts
Improve fire fighter protection on the job with the 2007 Spanish NFPA 1971!
The new title for the 2007 Spanish edition of NFPA 1971 reflects the fact that the Standard now incorporates requirements for proximity fire fighting protective ensembles (previously in NFPA 1976) in addition to structural fire fighting protective ensembles. The labeling, design, performance, and testing chapters carry the respective requirements for both types of ensembles.
Because fire fighters daily wear their fire fighting protective ensembles ("turnouts") on most emergency calls and to offer departments the opportunity to provide additional limited protection to fire fighters that encounter unexpected CBRN terrorism incidents, the 2007 edition also contains new optional provisions for CBRN (Chemicals, Biological agents, and Radiological particulates) protection. These new optional requirements must be specified by the purchaser in bid solicitation and purchase specifications in order to obtain the CBRN terrorism incident protection in the certified ensemble. The optional CBRN protection applies to both proximity fire fighting ensembles and to structural fire fighting ensembles.
These new optional CBRN criteria:
- Apply only to entire ensembles, and not to the individual elements
- Are integrated into the overall construction of the respective ensemble without having to "add or subtract" anything
- Do not reduce or compromise any features of the ensembles' fire fighting capabilities
The 2007 Standard also contains editorial revisions that improve usability and make NFPA 1971 consistent in format with other NFPA® documents.
(Softbound, 176 pp., 2007 Spanish Edition)

Kraus KHU100-32 Kitchen Sink Collection
There are no products matching the selection.
An all-around economical and smart addition to your home, the Kraus KHU100-32 kitchen sink will not compromise your wallet for top of the line quality. Featuring advanced 16 gauge stainless steel construction and Stone Guard undercoating, the KHU100-32 will prove to deliver superior function and noise-free usability. The stain and rust resistant nature of its stainless steel make allows for easy clean-up that can be done with the mere wipe of a cloth dipped in soap and water or a gentle household cleaner. Furthermore, unlike most sink models, Kraus kitchen sinks are designed to have a 3.5 inch rear-set drain that provides excess basin space for holding dishes, and that directs garbage to collect towards the end side of the drain rather than the middle.
What makes this collection even more remarkable are its all-inclusive combo deals. Kraus kitchen combo deals exclusively package the KHU100-32 kitchen sink with an added stainless steel or brass faucet, and designer soap dispenser. Kraus kitchen faucets come in an assortment of sizes and styles, but they all come built with a fixed ceramic cartridge that will prevent the faucet from potentially leaking in the future. This safeguard feature further demonstrates Kraus's commitment to producing exceptional products that incorporate innovative technological techniques. In addition to three premium quality products sold at exceedingly low prices, Kraus KHU100-32 kitchen sink purchases also include a free bottom grid with feet and bumpers, a basket strainer, and an original company dish towel.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Illustration by Donald L. Malick and N. John Schmitt
Our smallest accipiter, the "sharpie" is a jay-size hawk that frequents backyard bird feeders in winter, bursting from nearby bushes to snatch a small bird off a branch. Although some homeowners vilify them, sharpies serve a needed function of keeping wild bird populations healthy and wary. Sexes look alike, females are larger than males, adults differ from immatures. Polytypic (10 ssp.; 3 in North America). Length 10–14"(25–36 cm); wingspan 20–28" (51–71 cm).
Identification A small, round-winged, long-tailed hawk of woods, edges, and mixed habitat. The tip of the tail appears square, bands are wide and straight. The head is rounded, with a distinct "notch" in the profile from crown to beak. The eye appears more centered in head. Adult: blue-gray crown and nape are same color as the back, creating a "hooded" effect against the buffy cheeks. The eyes are red-orange (females) to deep red (males). Underparts are barred rufous; undertail is white. Juvenile: brown back feathers have rufous tips, white spots on wing coverts. Eye color is pale yellow. White undersides are streaked to belly with blurry brown lines. Flight: quick, choppy wingbeats interspersed with short glides. Almost no "flex" to the wing. When gliding or soaring, wings are held forward with wrists bent, the head barely projecting in front of the wings.
Geographic Variation The subspecies velox is common throughout most of North America; perobscurus, found on the islands of British Columbia, is darker and more heavily barred; suttoni of Mexico, into Arizona and New Mexico, is lighter, with fainter barring.
Similar Species The Cooper's hawk is noticeably larger, although small males in western populations approach large female sharpies in length, but have a longer, rounded tail and flatter head. An adult Cooper's has a dark cap, not hooded as in sharpie.
Voice A high, chattering kew-kew-kew is heard around the nest, otherwise it is mostly silent.
Status and Distribution Widespread in northern and western forests. Breeding: prefers coniferous and mixed forests, makes a small stick nest usually high and close to the trunk. Migration: the commonest accipiter seen at hawk-watches; adult birds prefer to follow mountain ridges, while many juveniles end up following the East Coast. Juveniles migrate first, followed by adults. Winter: throughout much of North America and into Mexico.
Population Never abundant, but steady.
—From the National Geographic book Complete Birds of North America, 2006

Meet the 701-hp Mazzanti Evantra
by George Kennedy (RSS feed) on Dec 28th, 2012 at 3:01PM
If you've heard of upstart boutique supercar maker Mazzanti, we salute you. About a year ago, we brought you news of this small Italian firm, which then was under the name Faralli & Mazzanti. The creation was the Evantra, and as the name of the company has changed, so has the car. The Mazzanti Evantra has been updated, and the previous turbocharged flat-six has been replaced with a 7.0-liter V8. The six-cylinder had two versions, capable of 403 or 603 horsepower. That is kid's stuff compared to the V8, which can put out an astounding 701 horsepower and 624 pound-feet or toque. That... Read More
