Dáil Éireann - Volume 557 - 13 November, 2002
Written Answers. - Partnership for Peace.
Mr. Durkan Mr. Durkan
193. Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs his preferred options in respect of Ireland's participation in PfP post-Nice; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21888/02]
Minister for Foreign Affairs (Mr. Cowen) Brian Cowen
Minister for Foreign Affairs (Mr. Cowen): Ireland's approach to Partnership for Peace is unchanged by the outcome of the recent referendum on the Treaty of Nice. The terms of Ireland's participation in PfP were set out in our Presentation Document, which was approved by Dáil Éireann on 8 November 1999. This document stated, inter alia, that Ireland's participation in PfP is in full accordance with Ireland's policy of military neutrality, which has always been pursued in tandem with full and active support for collective security, based on international law. The Presentation Document also established our priorities for PfP membership including peacekeeping and humanitarian operations.
Ireland's approach to PfP remains that as set out in the Presentation Document. In accordance with the core PfP principle of self-differentiation, Ireland can decide on the level and extent of its involvement in PfP activities.
PfP has proved its importance as a framework for co-operation in relation to the areas appropriate to the Petersberg Tasks, that is, humanitarian and rescue activities, peacekeeping and crisis management. This can be seen from the participation in PfP of all our EU partners, including the other neutral and non-aligned States.

Best burgers in Astoria by far. The Big Blue Bacon burger with ostrich is phenomenal. Not going to use Seamless for them again though. $3 delivery fee is unnecessary, and doesn't apply when using Netwaiter on their own website.

I have to say that I've been pleasantly surprised with the delivery from Bareburger. I've never had a bad experience at the restaurant, but things can get lost in translation when good gets lugged around for 15 minutes, but even the fried food shows up crispy for the most part. Great burgers and sandwiches, you just can't go wrong.

pretty disappointed in this order. food arrived cold bun was soggy. the burger is supposed to have onion on it, but all it had was one thin string of onion. really? for this price, you can't afford to be more generous with basic ingredients? that being said, after popping the bun, fries and burger in the toaster oven for a few minutes, everything crisped back up. to bareburger's credit, the burger was cooked perfectly, exactly medium rare, as i asked, and tasted delicious. but given the long delivery wait (over an hour) and that the burger had to be reheated, i don't think it's worth the money. would recommend eating bareburger only if you can eat it at the restaurant. otherwise, no point paying restaurant prices for such shabby (and soggy) delivery. go with petey's instead.

I love Bareburger and regularly order from them. I didn't realize they were on seamless until recently; I usually order from their site. Just a note: They don't charge the $1.75 fee if you order from them.

I love Bareburger. I really do. But it took over an hour for the food to be delivered, and everything's gone cold and soggy. Eating this burger is legitimately upsetting. Will not be ordering again.

Shame on you Bareburger! Bareburger used to be one of my favorite restaurants. The food was delicious and made with care. They started expanding all over the country and now the world, which I thought was awesome. It seems that the quality of food and service at the original location continues to suffer. I ordered last night, and did not notice before completing my order that they now have a DELIVERY CHARGE! So in addition to a $15 minimum and a tip, I was sneakily charged $1.75. Bareburger is getting very greedy. As with the last 4 times I ordered, they did not deliver what was promised. There were no sauces with my sweet potato fries. Last time they brought me the wrong dessert and the time before they didn't include dips I paid extra for. I did not call to tell them, because at that point I did not want to wait for them to come back. This is completely outrageous. I think I'm going to have to take Bareburger off of my favorites list.

Every time I've ordered from here delivery has been much quicker than estimated (usually ~20 minutes) and the food is consistently delicious. It's a little pricey compared to other burger places in Astoria, but in my opinion it's worth the cost. I like how modular the burgers are, and how you can substitute different proteins or toppings in any combination. I knocked off a star because recently they've started charging a delivery fee, which makes them a little overpriced.

As soon as I saw bareburger on seamless I was so happy! I immediately ordered, but now after three orders, of merely satisfactory food, I think I'm gonna go back to burgerclub. Fries are better, and burgers are better seasoned... True they don't have the variety of specialty meats like bareburger, but still very tasty. For the price, and wait, bareburger os just not my place...

The food consumed at Bareburger is five star! However, once it arrives via delivery it is subpar for the inflated price. We can no longer justify delivery for the cold, soggy food received from Bareburger.

Bareburger! How naughty of you to bring me a microwaved black bean patty, with microwaved bread that turned hard while eating it. Worst part is I'm not even sure this patty is cooked...but it took so long to get here that I ingested this abomination so I could have something in my stomach before I leave for work- to get there on time. Work ethic, quality control, and respect for the food are key. You can bet my editors would have my head if I worked as carelessly as you have today on my burger. Organic microwaved food...now that's a great new oxymoron. Well done. One star for being edible, and having fresh avocado. One star for being the worst Bareburger meal ever. Shape up guys!

I adore Bareburger and was psyched to finally see them on seamless, but a $20 minimum is pretty harsh. I'll happily edit my review to a full five stars for taste if they make the smart choice to lower it to $15.

Order my lunch at noon. Got a call from Bareburger at 12:30p saying my order did not meet their $15 minimum. Their page shows the minimum as $10, which I met and why my order went through. Very annoying!

So excited to see Bareburger on Seamless! This place has awesome food and I hate the old ordering service they used. Anyway, the food here is amazing and everything is organic! Love the rings and fries and the assorted pickles are AWESOME!!!! The milkshakes are to die for. And I haven't had a burger on this menu that I have disliked. Although I always go with the grass fed beef, my partner loves the ostrich and the bison. Ordered from here the other day and had my food hot and delicious in less than 25 minutes (30-45 min window). If you like burgers, don't miss the place!

Mayflower in drydock, Fairhaven, MA
In my Block Island Times' article, The fate of John Howland, island genealogist Peter Greenman, his wife Sandy, and myself came to the simple conclusion, that if "Lusty" John Howland, our mutual ancestor, hadn't grabbed the topsail halyard when he got cleaned off the deck of Mayflower in a gale of wind, and muscled himself back aboard the ship, then we three, along with one million other descendants would not be here. Our fate was not negotiated; it just is what it is. But, it could've also gone: no topsail halyard; no way, no how, no dice, nada, ain't happening, fagettaboutit, no go, fini.
Mayflower and her Pilgrims finally made Plymouth, their main landfall, after a brief stay in P-Town to steal the native american's corn stashs; they were hungry and without scruples. So began the journey of the great Yankee migration westward. Arriving in North America hale and strong, "Lusty" John Howland was sitting pretty, albeit, just an indentured servent. However, upon surviving the falling overboard ordeal, that little bit of luck raised him to a vaulted spiritual status in the eyes of his peers(ya know, the Devine Intervention thing). Also, our very lucky ancestor became a hit with the ladies in Plymouth, and helped swell the population of the region. Whatta guy! Whattacountry!!!
Block Island Ferry Engineer Greg Provost took the picture of the Mayflower, so you have a sense of Howland's ordeal. Note the draft of the ship; it took muscle and determination to get back aboard. Then, it was spoils to the victor. Old "Lusty" John Howland had a good run, loved the ladies, and had a legion of grandchildren. Furtheremore, he was a well respected man about town. Pretty good for a simple man of indenture, who pulled himself up by his own boot straps, and obviously had amourous intentions with several women of Plymouth Colony. He was most assuredly, a swell, lucky guy.

So...it looks like the Atkins diet is working for Kim Kardashian. The new mama, who gave birth to baby North in June, is clearly feeling confident about her post-baby body, because she's posting photos like this -- wearing, well, we're not exactly sure what that swath of white fabric is -- on Instagram.
Serious side boob? Check. Gravity-defying booty? Check. Looks like everything is back where it used to be, so it's no surprise that Kim recently tweeted, "I've actually been doing the Atkins diet & luv it."
She's not the only one. After seeing his baby mama's post, Kanye West retweeted the image's link, adding "HEADING HOME NOW."
Stay turned for news on North's impending big-sister status.

?VtbN?any has developed two brushless d.c. motors that reportedly consume less than half the energy of conventional C-frame subfractional horsepower motors. According to the company, the new designs will replace current C-frame models of evaporator motors and condenser motors in frost-free refrigerators and help U.S. manufacturers reach the new energy-efficiency standards and achieve the Energy Star® rating. Due to a certain envelope (inside the refrigerator) that the motor must fit in, space limited the motor to a size similar to a C-frame. The company transformed the C-frame to a brushless d.c. motor to eliminate any re-tooling. An electronics board was created that would plug into the customer's system directly. The EPC electronics group and VNR design group took the initial concepts of a permanent-magnet motor, using ceramic ferrite magnets, with the drive electronics mounted on the motor along with the basic motor design, customer-supplied proofs, and 3D parts to design a 3D motor to fit the space. The company says it also has designed an area to mount electronics to the motor.

If he doesn't stumble upon a miracle and soon, he'll endup dead. And even if he does, he still might end up dead with a clever killer hounding his heels. He believes that the one miracle and antidote to save him is in Margot Davenport's house, across the country and miles away from Boston. Somewhere locked in her home is the key to reversing an experiment that is killing him with each breath he takes. Margot doesn't particularly care if she ends up dead. She's lost everything she's ever cared for. A divorce and the loss of her job as a corporate lawyer has left her with little faith in herself or in anyone else. Most importantly, she's lost the one person on this earth she's looked up to and cherished–her brother, Johnny. His death in a car accident has devastated her, and she can't find the willpower to pull herself from the chasm she's fallen into. Her only solace is at the bottom of a wineglass. Having moved back to the small town in northern Arizona where she was raised, she's made a point of isolating herself both mentally and physically from everyone other than a few chosen friends. Little does she know that her life is going to explode into chaos. CERTAIN CONTENT THAT APPEARS ON THIS SITE COMES FROM AMAZON SERVICES LLC.

Occupy protesters march nationwide; many arrested
Occupy Wall Street protesters clogged streets and tied up traffic around the U.S. on Thursday to mark two months since the movement's birth; hundreds of people were arrested, most of them in New York.
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Occupy Wall Street protesters clogged streets and tied up traffic around the U.S. on Thursday to mark two months since the movement's birth and signal they aren't ready to quit, despite the breakup of many of their encampments by police. Hundreds of people were arrested, most of them in New York.
The demonstrations — which took place in cities including Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Boston, Washington, D.C., Seattle and Portland, Ore. — were for the most part peaceful. Most arrests were for blocking streets, and traffic disruptions were brief.
Chanting "All day, all week, shut down Wall Street," more than 1,000 protesters gathered near the New York Stock Exchange and sat down in several intersections. Helmeted police officers broke up some of the gatherings, and operations at the stock market were not disrupted.
As darkness fell, a coalition of unions and progressive groups joined Occupy demonstrators in staging rallies at landmark bridges in several U.S. cities to protest joblessness.
In New York, several thousand people, led by banner-carrying members of the Service Employees International Union, jammed Manhattan's Foley Square and then marched peacefully across the Brooklyn Bridge on a pedestrian promenade.
As they walked, a powerful light projected the slogan "We are the 99 percent" — a reference to the Americans who aren't superrich — on the side of a nearby skyscraper. Police officers dressed in Windbreakers, rather than riot gear, arrested at least two dozen people who walked onto the bridges' roadway but otherwise let the marchers pass without incident.
Several weeks ago, an attempt to march across the bridge drew the first significant international attention to the Occupy movement as more than 700 people were arrested.
Thursday's protests came two days after police raided and demolished the encampment at lower Manhattan's Zuccotti Park that had served as headquarters of the Occupy movement and as demonstrators and union allies tried to regain their momentum.
At least 300 people were arrested in New York. Some were bloodied during the arrests. One man was taken into custody for throwing liquid, possibly vinegar, into the faces of several police officers, authorities said. Many demonstrators were carrying vinegar as an antidote for pepper spray. A police officer, Matthew Walters, needed 20 stitches on his hand after he was hit with a piece of thrown glass, police said.
In Los Angeles, about 500 sympathizers marched downtown between the Bank of America tower and Wells Fargo Plaza, chanting, "Banks got bailed out, we got sold out!" More than two dozen people were arrested.
Police arrested 21 demonstrators in Las Vegas, and 20 were led away in plastic handcuffs in Portland, Ore., for sitting on a bridge. At least a dozen were arrested in St. Louis after they sat down and locked arms in an attempt to block a bridge over the Mississippi River. More were handcuffed for blocking bridges in Philadelphia and Minneapolis.
In Chicago, hundreds of protesters organized by labor and community groups marched toward the Chicago River. They stopped at the river bridge and shut it down to rush-hour traffic. Police officers scrambled to divert cars and pedestrians.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, meanwhile, said there had been "minimal disruption," adding: "Most protesters have, in all fairness, acted responsibly."

This is another oft-requested piece. I checked out an arrangement by publisher Hal Leonard and it was HARD! So I arranged it for a nice easy piano, about a level 2. Many students will be able to play this in the middle of their second year or third year of piano lessons.
The song "Hallelujah" was written by the great Leonard Cohen, and was covered for the movie "Shrek." According to his WIKI, it took several years to get the chord progression, melody, and lyrics to their final stages. As a result we have a beautiful song that has stood the test of time. It is still one of the most popular piano requests that I get.
Please be sure to use the pedal so it flows, the video is very robotic since it's MIDI! I use this piece to teach the 6/8 time signature, as well as get students moving around on the piano. The third version of the sheet music below contains a tutorial on how to play the chords and then how to play the rhythm. For those of you who like MIDI, I have also linked to that. You can play along with Synthesia to see if you are doing it right.
Please comment below and enjoy! Please, if you like this arrangement, share it! Pin it, tweet it, like it, print it, download it, email it to your friends.

NEW YORK — The Toronto Raptors' two starting swingmen, DeMar DeRozan and Terrence Ross, have very different temperaments. DeRozan is intense on the court, given to displays of both positive and negative emotion. You can usually see whether or not he is feeling good.
Ross is a flat line. When he was introduced to the Toronto media after the Raptors drafted him in 2012, it was one of the things he said: Do not expect him to try to get the fans involved with a gesture or primal scream.
Heading into the post-season, it seemed as if Ross might benefit from that. The kid never gets nervous, so extra attention from the officials, louder crowds, a one-on-one matchup against seven-time all-star Joe Johnson would barely register with him. If anybody was going to push a little too hard and take himself out of his game, it was bound to be DeRozan.
It has not worked out that way. DeRozan has pressed at times, and is shooting just 36% from the floor in his team's series against the Brooklyn Nets. DeRozan is adapting, though, and he is playing through the learning process. In contrast, Ross is lost, just another tourist in New York City. He has just 10 total points in 63 minutes of action through three games, and things have actually been worse on the other end. He has lost Johnson and Deron Williams on the perimeter and been knocked off his man by sturdy Nets screens far too easily. When he failed to contain Nets reserve Marcus Thornton in the second quarter of Game 3, Raptors coach Dwane Casey had finally seen enough, sending him to the bench. Ross played just the first five minutes in the second half on Friday, and then was done for the night.
Now, he must consider replacing Ross in the starting lineup.
"We're still going to look at that," Casey said. "The decision hasn't been made but we will look at it. Right now we don't want to do anything drastic. … It's not panic time, but we do have to look at that position and get more productivity out of that spot."
It might not happen, just because the options are limited. They could start Greivis Vasquez, who is already responsible for a large playmaking burden, and would put DeRozan on Johnson permanently — a situation he has struggled in so far. Casey could opt for John Salmons, who has been unpredictable on both ends since arriving in Toronto. Or he could start Landry Fields, the team's best defender but an absolute offensive non-threat. As always, given the options, Ross represents the highest upside.
Winning this series is not Casey's only consideration, though. All along, both Casey and general manager Masai Ujiri have emphasized that player development is still a big factor for the Raptors, despite the semi-accidental success they have achieved. That becomes much tougher to live by during the playoffs — after a grinding 82-game season, a surprise Atlantic Division title and the first three coin-flip games of this series that could have been turned by getting something, anything from Ross's spot. Given the way he is playing, Ross is actively hurting the Raptors' chances of winning this series.
Certainly, that is not ideal. That does not mean Casey should change it, though. Casey acknowledged that it is far tougher to stick with young players when they struggle in the post-season than it is during the regular season.
"But a big part of the reason we're here is because of their play," Casey said. "I'm not blind to the fact that they are our future and the only way they're going to learn is to go through it. The amount of time might be a little shorter, but they've got to get out there.
"Both [Ross and Jonas Valanciunas] are soaking up big minutes. If they weren't young guys, if that wasn't our future, our direction, they probably wouldn't be in there with some of the mistakes they're making. But, they're our guys."
Now, it is on Ross to wake up.

Behind that Mona Lisa smileBy Bayani San Diego Jr.
One look at Epy Quizon and screen legend Mona Lisa couldn't help exclaiming: "You look exactly like Dolphy."

Early this month, I visited the rehearsals of Spotlight Artists Center's eagerly anticipated restaging of Ryan Cayabyab and Jose Javier Reyes' "Katy," under Nestor Torre's direction, and was pleasantly surprised at how powerful and entertaining the iconic stage production has remained to this day.
ONE after the other they trooped to the Spotlight Artists Center last Jan. 29—some of the country's best musical-theater, club and recording artists, all of them eager to become a part of this year's hottest Original Filipino Musical revival, "Katy." The first staging two full decades ago of the tribute to Katy dela Cruz and […]
IN the early 1980s, I did a TV feature on bodabil queen, Katy dela Cruz—and promptly fell in love with her. She was so deliciously feisty, brassy, a gifted and giving entertainer, and full of life and stories about her colorful career, which had taken her from the pits to the pinnacle of the entertainment world, not just here but also in the States and elsewhere.

Arizona State University has long been a target of animal rights activists — and activists are preparing to shoot those arrows again.
A protest, scheduled for today on the Tempe campus, aims to draw dozens in an attempt to stop animal testing in laboratories. The event is part of the annual "World Week for Animals in Laboratories," when animal rights activists distribute information around the country.
"These animals are prisoners," said Shaynie Aero, codirector of Last Chance For Animals Arizona, "and they are treated like objects and forced to endure horrific experiments."
Much of the animal testing takes place at the Biodesign Institute, which houses dozens of researchers looking to cure diseases. Many experts within the institute also research bioterrorism and oral vaccines. The facility was built in 2004, with seven to 15 additional centers planned for construction by 2007.
One of the university's most important projects intends to help people with paralysis and spinal cord injuries through studying the brains of monkeys, said Jiping He, researcher in the Harrington Department of Engineering.
The research, which began about four years ago, involves inserting microelectrodes into the surface of monkeys' brains and recording activity while the animals complete tasks involving artificial limbs.
"We're trying to learn what can be done in the brain to help people adapt to paralysis," he said.
University officials said they ensure that the studies comply with the Animal Welfare Act's standards, which mandates housing, sanitation and ventilation for animals — but also excludes rats and mice from the classification "animal."
"My job is to make sure discomfort is minimized and that there are no problems," said university veterinarian Dale DeNardo. "The animals here are treated better than you can imagine. They are cleaned, fed and constantly watched."
Animals included in the studies are mostly mice, but others include rabbits, small birds, lizards and monkeys.
"Animals do not need to be used for research because they are a completely different species than humans and can't even be compared anyway," graduate student Jon Grindell said.
Researchers disagree, saying that studying animals is often more effective — and more socially acceptable — than studying humans.
"Using humans for laboratory testing is what happened in Auschwitz," DeNardo said, "and most people would agree that using animals is a better alternative."

Around seventeen years ago I stumbled upon a semi-hidden world which only truly came alive well after midnight and which existed in the heart of London.
It was a place and time inhabited by characters who could have tumbled from films of their own making, a sideways glance at a reimagined indefinable past; a world of modern dav spivs, foot-high quiffs, lizard skin-lined cars, tooting saxophones, unlicensed speakeasies and sharp suits.
More than a decade later I began to revisit my old haunts, companions and music.
Afterhours Sleaze and Dignity
series of books was the result; in part a tribute to a world where I spent some of my youth and also a photographic soundtrack to the imaginary film it inspired and which has played behind my eyes ever since - an attempt to capture my own particular Soho of the mind.
