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.

Looks good. One note -- Top of page 3, the sentence in bold needs a
La Familia has by far garnered the most media attention of all the cartels
during the past year, especially after being dubbed "the most violent
criminal organization in Mexico" by former Mexican Attorney General
Eduardo Medina Mora in May. La Familia has grabbed headlines mainly
because of its brazen public operations and pseudo-ideological roots. La
Familia is a unique among Mexico's drug- trafficking organizations (DTOs)
in that it seems to be an ideological movement that uses the proceeds from
the business side to fund the spread of its unique "religion" while most
DTOs are run as businesses seeking to maximize profits. In April, during a
Mexican government investigation of the group, several documents were
discovered, including a booklet that appears to be a moral code of conduct
for La Familia members. Much of the booklet is devoted to pseudo-religious
quotations from a man called "El Mas Loco" (the craziest one), also known
as Nazario Moreno Gonzalez. There is, however, a major disconnect between
some of the religious principles described in the documents and some of
the violent crimes associated with La Familia, making it likely that the
documents are more representative of the group's propaganda and rhetoric
than true tenets of its ideology -- perhaps to conceal its actual motives.

The United States and its allies will have ways to reimpose sanctions on Iran if the Islamic Republic is caught making bombs after striking a deal to freeze its nuclear programme, national security adviser Susan Rice has said. In an interview on the CBS news programme "60 Minutes" on Sunday, Rice rejected the idea that, once relaxed, the economic sanctions on Tehran would be hard to reinstate.
We will not construct a deal or accept a deal in which we cannot verify exactly what they are doing
Susan Rice, national security advisor
Any United Nations Security Council resolution that enshrines a final nuclear deal with Iran - not the interim six-month deal signed in Geneva in November - could have triggers to automatically reimpose sanctions on Iran if they violate the deal, she said. "We will not construct a deal or accept a deal in which we cannot verify exactly what they are doing," Rice said. "And if they're caught, we will ensure that the pressure is reimposed on them." A mechanism for such "automatic triggers" has not been finalised, Rice said. Any deal beyond the current arrangement is still months away. "We haven't designed that resolution yet. But this is something that's quite doable," Rice said. The United Statesdoes not want Iran to be "in a position to race towards a bomb undetected." Rice said it was still unclear if Iran was hurting enough from existing sanctions on its oil exports and other industries to give up its nuclear ambitions in a "verifiable way." "We don't know. But the other half of the answer is we have every interest in testing that proposition," she said. Under November's interim agreement, Iran agreed to curb its nuclear program for six months in exchange for limited relief from sanctions. The Obama administration has clashed with Congress over the sanctions issue; many lawmakers want to impose tougher sanctions on Iran.

Excellent materials and construction. Easy assembly. Well worth the slight additional cost over similarly appearing, but much cheaper constructed units.

Aqua Saddle Floating Pool Chair 27 30
Fabulous I recently moved to a house with a pool and needed to purchase some kind of floatation for the pool and grandkids. When I saw these great little floats, I knew these would possibly work. When the grandkids and Poppy tried them out and absolutely loved them I knew it was a perfect match. The size is perfect. Not too big and they don't take up much room in the pool or in storage. They are no larger than a big pillow. We all are so happy. September 23, 2014
Summer fun I sent 3 of the aqua saddles to a friend of mine as a hostess gift for the 4th of July weekend. It was a very busy pool and we all tried the aqua saddles. It took me a few minutes to master it and I along with a few others were able to balance on them. It is a balancing act, so your body is constantly accommodating what ever action is happening in the pool. Several people were not able to use them, they could not find their balance on them. I ordered the extra large exactly for that fact to offer more seat to balance easier. I cannot imagine ordering the smaller size. All in all I'd say they were fair, too expensive for the size, you as well spend the extra few bucks and get the full sized mat, not easy to master. July 22, 2014
XL Aqua Saddle Floating Pool Chair in Lime Green We used these at a friends pool and loved them, so I bought a pair of our own. Very comfortable and bouyant, really like staying in the saddle or on a horse as you keep your balance in the water. Easy and fun to use. My husband and I are a little taller than average height but average weight, so I still went with the XL size for the extra length it provided and am very happy with it. I do wish it came in other colors but the green went well with our outdoors colors and decor. I hope they hold up well for next season. August 13, 2014
Fun float requires TLC The aqua saddle floating pool chair is a fun and comfortable float that is great for paddling around the deep end of the pool. But exercise caution when storing in high temperatures. My pool chair melted and fused into another float in my outdoor teak pool box within a few days of storage. Frontgate immediately sent replacements and I now wrap the float lightly in an old towel before storing in the pool box. August 14, 2014
Greatest Pool Flotation Device Ever Created I have tried every pool flotation device ever made and this is by far the best. Just like the lady in the picture, you easily sit upright in the water, giving me enough control to watch my kids and scull around, but not too relaxed like giant aqua chair lounger where I'm stuck in it or can't see...its Goldilocks - just right. I have both sizes. At 210#, I sink up to my neck with the smaller one, unlike the waif in the picture Floating so low in the water is very cool. The larger one, which is really just thicker, not really any bigger in dimensions, I float a bit higher with my shoulders out of the water. These store very easy due to their relatively small size. My wife got jealous, which is why we bought 2. I'll be back for more. June 19, 2014
Great multi purpose float I use this for in the pool as a float/chair and also to sit on at side of pool so as to not snag my swim suit. I know frontgate also sells specific pads for side of pool but they were out of the color I liked so I use the saddle float for both purposes!! August 16, 2014
love these pool chairs! Bought two of these for my husband and I, and we ended up having to fight the kids for them. I will order two more before next summer! My husband is 200 pounds and the chair held him … obviously our 80 pound daughter sat higher in the chair. They were perfect for floating around, especially with a drink in your hand! August 9, 2014
Aqua Saddle I tried one of the aqua saddle on my boat for when we stop to flout the lake. It was so popular that I had to go back and order 2 more to have enough for everyone. August 15, 2014

(Updates with analyst comment in fourth paragraph.)
Nov. 17 (Bloomberg) -- SABMiller Plc, the brewer buying Australia's Foster's Group Ltd. for $10 billion, reported a 9.5 percent increase in first-half profit as growth in emerging markets offset declining profitability in the U.S. and Europe.
Earnings before interest, taxes and amortization rose to $2.7 billion, the London-based company said today, compared with the $2.72 billion median estimate of 10 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News. Revenue was $15.7 billion, representing growth of 6 percent excluding acquisitions and currency shifts, though the profit margin contracted amid rising raw-material costs.
Business conditions will remain the same for the rest of the year, Chief Executive Officer Graham Mackay said, with "difficult" markets in the U.S. and Europe being offset by "favorable" conditions in Latin America and Africa. SABMiller said it will raise prices "selectively" in the second half as raw-material costs increase at a "slightly faster rate."
"This reads as a bit cautious compared to where the market will be on the outlook," said Martin Deboo, an analyst at Investec Securities in London. "They need pricing to recover the commodity impact, which is going to make the second half more of a challenge than expected."
SABMiller fell 1.5 percent to 2,199 pence at 10:11 a.m. in London, mirroring the broader market. The shares had slid 1.1 percent this year as of the close of trading yesterday.
Profit Margin
The Ebita margin, a measure of profitability, narrowed 10 basis points to 17.2 percent in the first half, less than the median analyst estimate of 17.5 percent. Margins will remain "broadly flat in the second half, although that's a little bit hard to call with absolute precision," Mackay said today on a conference call with journalists.
The maker of Peroni maintained a forecast for a "low single-digit" increase in commodity costs for the year.
Profitability slid in Europe and North America, where government cuts to address budget deficits are squeezing consumer spending. Organic Ebita, which excludes acquisitions and currency fluctuations, declined 6 percent in both regions.
SABMiller also said today it will invest $295 million building its operations in Peru and $260 million expanding in Africa. The company agreed to buy Foster's in September and the following month announced plans to acquire a stake in Turkey's Anadolu Efes Biracilik & Malt Sanayii AS.
InBev Speculation
Mackay declined to comment on whether the company would increase prices in the U.S., where he said beer sales are being restricted by high unemployment among semi-skilled and unskilled laborers. Business in the country will "take a while to come back," he said, although "I don't think Europe and America are going to stay in the doldrums forever."
So-called organic beer volume rose 3 percent in the first half, SABMiller said last month.
Organic Ebita increased 16 percent in Latin America, the brewer's biggest region, as the company boosted sales of more- expensive beers. SABMiller, which started out selling beer to gold prospectors in South Africa, improved profitability at the unit in the first half.
The company said today that the South African rand "and some other key operating currencies" had weakened against the dollar, and that its financial position is "strong."
Mackay declined to comment on speculation that larger competitor Anheuser-Busch InBev NV may consider bidding for the company. SABMiller shares advanced the most in almost three years in October after a Brazilian news website reported that the brewer was in talks to be bought by AB InBev.
"What we do is run the business, and we make sure it's run as well as possible," the CEO said.

Kass: Market Loses Its Mojo
That may be President Obama's most important bailout task: to educate the country that there is no easy escape here, except taking our medicine, getting our fundamentals right again and working our way out of this, brick by brick, by getting back to making money -- what was that old Smith Barney ad? -- "the old-fashioned way" -- by earning it.
-- Thomas Friedman, " Elvis Has Left the Mountain," The New York Times op-ed (Jan. 31, 2009)
The public sector's cleanup of the private sector's mess represents a monumental and complex job. The "great unwind" of the leveraging-up of our economy will remain a structural issue and headwind for some time to come. Moreover, it's already February. Do those folks looking for a midyear economic recovery really suspect that a "bad bank" project can be implemented swiftly enough to have an effect by the end of second quarter 2009?
For now, patience (waiting but not passively waiting), perseverance (amid downbeat news) and perspiration (most likely tons of it!) hold the ingredients to a successful strategy in our economy and in our stock market.From my perch, regardless of the scope of the government's initiatives, it remains difficult to see a sustained upside move in equities against the deleveraging process and against a worsening and uncertain fundamental backdrop. Expectations for our domestic economy and for our investments are being reset, to borrow a term used by Microsoft's (MSFT) Steve Ballmer in last week's earnings call, to lower levels. Over the past several months, we have begun to taste the early stages of investor disinterest and apathy and societal pressures as the acceptance phase of large investment losses in individual, institutional, charitable, pension and endowment portfolios develops. The recent Madoff and Satyam (SAY) frauds have only served to further reinforce a general loss of trust. As well, the broadcasting of Congressional committee meetings and testimony and the vivid picture of political partisanship and their incoherent policies have likely further contributed to a deeper erosion in confidence.

waiting on a acceptance letter from cvcc in Phenix city AL
- 0Jul 9, '09 by tasha24RNIs there anyone here waiting to receive:spin: a letter from cvcc nursing program?
- 1Jul 10, '09 by nevergonnagiveupA friend of mines applied and is still waiting to hear if she was accepted or not. She's getting a bit worried because that was the only school she applied to. I can't understand what is taking them so long to decide. I advised her to apply to the school I was accepted to (In NY) but she didn't want to relocate and now she regrets that she didn't. Now my school is on a waiting list. She said she would call me as soon as she hears from them. I will post update then. Good luck during your wait...I know it's nerve racking!
- 0Jul 23, '09 by nevergonnagiveupCONGRATS!!!If you don't mind, can you tell me when you received your letter, my friend has been anxiously waiting and as of today, still has not heard anything.
- 0Jul 23, '09 by nevergonnagiveupThanks...I will call my friend tonight and let her know. She's freakin out because that's the only school she applied to and if she gets in, she has to find an apartment (relocating from GA).
- 0Jul 25, '09 by nevergonnagiveupI tried calling her yesterday and today-but she didn't answer. I guess if she heard something I would have gotten a call from her. It's crazy that they waited one month before school starts to offer acceptance. Did you apply to the LPN or RN program?
- 0Jul 28, '09 by nevergonnagiveupQuote from tasha24RNHEY, Happiness have your friend heard anything yet?
She found out today that she did not get in.

Why Gardeners love Dahlias (See combination photo below.) Dahlias are one of the most rewarding summer flowers of all. They're really easy to grow with spectacular results. If you know them, you know all about it. If you don't, here is the information you need. Prepare to become 'hooked.'
First of all, Dahlias are great for cutting, as you can see in the large top photo of an arrangement showing a lavish deep red dahlia right next to a large, voluptuous rose.
Dahlias are native to Mexico, but there's about as much resemblance between the original and the Dutch hybrids as there is between an old toy car and a brand new Mercedes. Dahlias for today's gardeners offer a really big gardening treat.
The 'bulbs' are actually tubers, and look a lot like peony roots--sort of like a bunch of carrots. The plants grow quickly and some grow quite tall, always with lush deep green foliage.
Types of Dahlias. These plants have been hybridized into various heights from short bedding plants to tall bushy ones. But they are officially categorized by flower type or shape. The term, 'Dinnerplate Dahlia' is probably the most famous description, and though all gardeners use the term, it is not an official classification. 'Dinnerplates' are, simply put, the large plants with the huge flowers. The always-double flowers are up to 8', sometimes a whopping 10' across, so the name makes sense.
Photos A and C are examples of Dinnerplate Dahlias. As you can see, they come in both solids and bi-colors. Photo B shows a whole border of tall dahlias in the garden.
Here are the official classifications:
'Decorative Dahlias' This group includes the Dinnerplates and also other taller (to 4 ft.) plants with double, chrysanthemum-like flowers. The famous 'Shogun Dahlias' are as tall as Decoratives, but have very heavy bloom of smaller bi-colored flowers for gardeners who want a large bushy plant covered with color.
'Cactus Dahlias' are the ones with the cactus-like blooms, often in super-bright bi-colors, always with the rolled, pointed petals. Like other groups, Cactus Dahlias can be of various heights, as long as they have 'cactus' flowers.
'Gallery Dahlias' are a newer group of shorter plants with flower-types of the Decoratives and Cactus groups. The Gallery group is named with terms from the art world including famous artists' names.
'Butterfly' or 'Impression Dahlias' are what the Dutch call 'bedding dahlias. They stay short, and are perfect for pots or borders. The names in this group all begin with 'F' like 'Futuro' and 'Fantastico'. The flowers are wide-open and daisy-like for a really colorful display of their brilliant hues. If well cared-for, watered, and dead-headed, they bloom constantly all season, making great masses of color.
There are other groups such as 'Ball Dahlias' and 'Pom Pom Dahlias' with spherical blooms, 'Colarette Dahlias' with uneven rows of petals creating a 'collar' effect--the varieties go on and on. Growing all of them is essentially the same, and best of all, it's easy.
Growing Dahlias: All the gardener needs to do is plant the tubers after spring frosts in good garden soil with full sun. It's best to position them against a wall or be ready to stake them, since they are brittle, and must be protected from high winds. (If you've grown perennial Delphiniums, the plant size and growth is similar, but success with Dahlias is much easier.) Keep them free of bugs, well-watered, and well-fertilized as they grow, and your dahlias will begin to set buds by midsummer and be in full bloom, usually during July or August. Then the huge flowers keep coming until frost.
When frost threatens, just pull the roots up, cut off the stems, and store the tubers until the following spring. Each fall, you'll be amazed how the 'bulbs' have multiplied during the summer, giving you more and more to divide and enjoy the next year.
One expert has said, 'Never have so many gardeners received so much for so little work, as when they grow dahlias.''

Comments about Dinnerplate Dahlia Lady Darlene:
I planted these next to a patio as a focal point. The plants and the blooms are huge! They will definitely steal the show, so plant them where they can be enjoyed on their own. One stalk got so heavy with blooms, it fell out of it's support while I was on vacation. I cut all the flowers, put them in a very large vase, and created a bouquet that was the talk of the dinner party. Very fun!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I originally confused this with kogana fabuki and thought the color was too light. I was disappointed. I may have actually wrote a review. Much to my surprise this came up later and it is a show stopper. The colors a very bright which is what I wanted. I wanted my garden to be red/yellow this year and this dahlia was perfect. The colors blend beautiful red/yellow . I am often asked if t is real when part of arrangement. You won't be disappointed with this one.

This is one of my new favorites. I was expecting a yellow flower with a hint of red. This is more red with a hint of yellow although just as or if not more beautiful. I love it.The plants are thriving very well as always from American Meadows. Colors seemed to be reversed but stunning either way!

Backdrop in garden good height.Multiple Blooms, long lasting bloomsColores were not as expected. I thought I was getting a mostly yellow flower with red trim. Instead the flowers was red with just a hint of yellow toward the very center.

Fun and vibrant
By Autumn
from Bensalem
These were a great choice for a full sun location. I planted with stakes as advised and watched the growth to keep the plant supported. Not much to ask for such large, lovely flowers. I am excited about re-planting these next year along with more dahlias. I have gotten many compliments from neighbors, friends and family on these plants!

About Me Getting Started
Seems like the best loved flowers are the hardest to grow in any quantity.Be sure to give this one some room although in general Dahlias like crowed areas next to their bretheren.Starting this one early inside this year to give it a fighting chance against the less desireables.
Beautiful color

I love this flower and just can't wait to grow more.

Bill, we should also mention that few organizations are as militant about protecting their own intellectual property as the IOC.
They'll sue pretty much anyone who dares adopt a logo that involves 5 rings in any configuration.
Also, use of the word "olympics" in any way not approved by the IOC is strictly verboten.
They're truly into that whole brotherhood of man thing.11:25 pm on January 29, 2009 Email Ryan McMaken

Following from my last two posts (1 and 2) I have argued that German Idealism (and this is a fairly common observation) is a non-substantial monism by which the philosopher is set up as a figure of navigation having absorbed skepticism and the subsequent self-conditioning, to create or synthesize in a way that has global […]

Following from my last post I want to argue that German Idealism is a project that takes the genesis of the abstract as engine and problem for philosophical practice and for practice taken more generally. Assuming Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel accept Kant's critique of dogmatic metaphysics but want to evade his methodological dualism as a […]

I recently read two reviews of recent books on German Idealism. The first was a review by Dean Moyar of Brady Bowman's fascinating sounding Hegel and the Metaphysics of Absolute Negativity while the second was Sebastian Gardner's review of Markus Gabriel's Transcendental Ontology (which has been out for a while but only recently released in paper back). Both of […]

Jon Cogburn has posted a nice things to look for kind of post (but more thoughtful than that really) in regards to continental philosophy.

Philosophy…the very world bears a halo so tarnished with the fingernail scratches of a desperate hold that its meaning is as dim as it is persistent. Philosophy begins in wonder, in disappointment, with anything except instantaneous experience (according to Laruelle). So say the philosophers. Though few comments have seemed as honest as Lyotard's – that […]

Art, Aesthetics, and Thought
I am consistently guilty over my lack of knowledge of contemporary art and aesthetics. Particularly in relation to Speculative Realism it seems that artists, curators, and media practitioners of various stripes are far better than philosophers or theorists at addressing art. This seems particularly evident in events such as The Matter of Contradiction (the video […]

Tom Brady enjoyed a day off yesterday with his girlfriend, model Gisele Bundchen. Gisele pulled out all the stops for Tom and wasn't afraid to show off her modeling skills: Cooling herself down with a wet towel – seductively. Adjusting her bathing suit – seductively. And, of course, pretending to enjoy food – seductively. I think. Cringing your man-face at the sight of a fork is the new hot for female models, right? Okay, cool, just checking.
Gisele Bundchen still wearing bikinis
#126, why do you think a woman has to go get all FAT and GROSS in order to look attractive, what moron would be attracted to that?? Who the hell would want 5 pounds of blubber added to their legs, come ON get REAL that's just idiotic! Why would a person want to get big ass digusting fat hips too? And womanly curvy bellies and fat?? I don't get it! Do you think people in America are obese because they think it's sexy? Womanly looking means fat blubbery and gross around here it seems.
Who said ANYTHING about fat and gross?!?! Are you disgustingly and/or anorexically thin like Gisele, and people don't think you are attractive? Obsessed with weight and numbers? It's all about what you look like, not what you weigh. Flat and toned stomach is one thing, but six-pack abs on a woman is frankly disgusting. Gisele could use a few toned pounds, shape, and curves…SIMPLE AS THAT.
u guys talk like you could actually sleep with her… haha
I think it is cruel and horrible to see so much negativity….
I think she has a beautiful body and it is hard work to keep that fit- that great shape- I don't think people need to argue about her looks- we are given the face and body we are given….
I just think if you all could wear a bikini or be fully dressed and even look mildly attractive then what I am saying is "Judge not least you be judged"
Be happy for her- make yourself be as good as You can and leave her alone.
Oh you think everyone on here is a fat ugly loser with no life, self esteem, or empowerment? WRONG-O. She would be placed in the average section next to the hundreds of girls I've slept with. This site is simply an entertainment sidenote. Don't believe it? Don't care. That's YOUR problem.
The judging part is wrong, yes, but there is still debate on how much or even if she's attractive. In kinder terms, I'd have to say way more agree that she's not near as attractive as she's made out to be.
#142, no I'm actually a huge fat slob standing next to Giselle and it's embarrassing quite frankly, and people don't think I'm attractive because I don't look like Giselle, instead I look out of shape compared to her and fat and I can't get dates, no guys look at me the way they used to when I was in shape like Giselle. I walked the shoes of fat slobs like myself who get no dates and the shoes of someone with a hot bod like Giselle and guys dont leave you alone. Now, I'd be lucky if the neighborhood bum gave me the time of day.
It doesn't matter if she's attractive, she has the body. A one in a million body. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOng legs, tall. In other words the perfect body. Something someone like jessica alba doesn't have.
This hottie is dating her sugardaddy on WealthyRomance.com where Charlie Sheen found his girl last May. $$ can buy love and her. lol
Uh…I can't be the only one here who realized the guy in the pictures IS NOT Tom Brady. When were the pics taken?
she's sexy and her boobs aint fake!!!
#142 If your statement is true then can you lose some weight and find a happy medium? Plenty of guys will date you then. We are too superficial of a society but you need to be at a healthy weight for your own good as well. Good luck!
Sorry, I meant #148.
Look, there are a dozen other Victoria Secret models with much prettier faces, although Gisele does look good with makeup and lighting…but her secret is that ATTITUDE…… she's taller than most, has great posture and she can "sashay" down that runway like nobody else…
Great shaved pussy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Am I the only one who thinks she looks anorexic? Where is her femenine shape? Sorry she doesn't do a thing for me.
Brazilian women are superior in bed. That's why. You fags should try it.
she looks so anorexic! =/
You ppl are PATHETIC. GET A LIFE!!
she has a good figure. someone saw she is on a dating site called sugarcupid.com yesterday, is she so free now?
i dont find her attractive to me she looks like a stick, she has no ass i dont believe she beautiful, from her hip to her knee she looks deform, probably cause it too skinny. her face looks plan kinda looks like a travestide. i merely expressing my opinion , no im not envious i just dont find her a beauty. and she was just born in brazil but to many of my brazilian friend she isnt a real brazilian she's a straight out german
Tom Brady, if you should happen upon this..
I cook probably cook an egg off your ass it is so fine.
Tom Brady, you can do so much better. Why do you keep hanging around with these manly looking skanks?

Chinandega, Nicaragua (CNN) -- More than 1,500 people have been evacuated after a volcano in western Nicaragua erupted Saturday, shooting gas and ash 2 1/2 miles into the sky, government officials said.
Explosions at San Cristobal Volcano -- located in the department of Chinandega about 65 kilometers (40 miles) south of the Honduran border and 130 kilometers north of the capital, Managua -- began around 8:45 a.m. Saturday, according to an assessment from SINAPRED, Nicaragua's federal emergency and disaster management agency.
"We have to be careful and take all appropriate measures for the families that are there and families from neighboring towns," first lady Rosario Murillo told the EL19 government-run newspaper. She said 400 families have been moved.
Are you there? Share your images and videos.
"I have seen it bring ashes, but not like now," Jose Espinoza, who lives near the volcano, said. "It surprised us because it is a powerful volcano and to see it like this would make anyone panic."
Jacinta Carazo, another resident, told CNN that an eruption in 2006 brought a lot of mud but this one was mostly ash.
"It got dark," she said.
Neither Espinoza nor Carazo has evacuated nor do they want to leave.
A story linked off Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega's website indicated 20,000 people in surrounding towns could be affected.
About 3,000 people in five communities were already seeing gases and other effects after three large explosions on Saturday, SINAPRED director Guillermo Gonzalez said, according to the El Pueblo Presidente website.
Authorities say the main risk is the mix of rain, ash and gas that could affect the health of residents.
School classes have been suspended in Chinandega department through Sunday, education official Jose Tremino said.
At about 1,745 meters (5,725 feet), San Cristobal is Nicaragua's tallest volcano, and is part of a complex consisting of five volcanic edifices, according to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History.
Prior to Saturday, the last known eruption of San Cristobal -- which is also known as El Viejo -- was in 2011, the museum said.

Hey Billie.... this sounds like a really nice cake for afternoon tea... can I just ask... how much is 1 1/3 round nuts? Was there a measurement missed... or is a round a form of measurement.. I couldn't find it in my converter... Thanks for the post, can't wait to try this!
Billie Neal WildExpectation - Nov 13, 2012
Hi Jaded. To be honest, I have no idea. I was hoping someone would come forward and tell me what it is or means. I'm just entering all the recipes exactly as they are written in the cb, did you read the "notes"? I am just guessing, but I think that it probably means1 1/3 cups since it takes so much flour and dates. Thanks so kindly for checking out the recipe and I do hope you will stay on board and check out all of them and keep me on my toes just incase I do make a typo or something, we are after all only human.
Oh, by the way, do you know of any substitution for cream cheese? I have a recipe I would like to make to take to my brother's for Thanksgiving, but he hates cream cheese. The recipe sounds so good, I really hope I can find something to substitute that he would like, because everything else in the recipe he will eat. Thanks again.
Jaded spoon Jaded_spoon - Nov 14, 2012
Oh yeah I did read your notes but I just thought it may have been a typo of something... I was going to give it a go with 1 1/3 Cups... like you said it seems like the right amount for the other ingredients.
As for cream cheese subbie.... is it just the cream cheese he does not like of the whole cheesey taste?... Mascapone cheese is a lighter flavoured cheese... or neufchatel, which is another lighter flavoured cheese.... puree'd cottage cheese that has been strained... At a pinch, maybe even Creme Fraiche... just depend on the recipe and how the cream cheese is used... lemme talk to a few vegen friends I have and see what they say... Thanks again!!
Jaded spoon Jaded_spoon - Nov 14, 2012
Ohh..... how about... Cream Cheese sibbie, Blend a dash of lemon juice with heavy coconut cream...
1 cup of Cream Cheese= ½ cup of Yogurt + ½ cup of Ricotta Cheese (try using ricotta cheese made from partially skimmed milk for best results)
1 cup of Gervais Cheese
Nature of the Substitute: Containing about 60 and 75 percent milk fat, Gervais has a sweet and tangy taste.
This super flavorful and soft French cheese is ideal for serving as a dessert cheese with fruits or as an appetizer with crackers.
¾ cup of firm Tofu + ¼ cup of Margarine + 1 tablespoon of Lemon Juice
Blend it in a mixer until smooth and creamy.
Keep scraping the tofu bits off the sides of the mixer and pushing it towards the central blade until the desired texture is achieved. After it is done, place the mixture in a glass bowl and refrigerate till firm.
I hope these help....
Billie Neal WildExpectation - Nov 14, 2012
Thanks so much Jaded. It is the sour/tangy taste he doesn't like. I think the cottage cheese thing will work because he loves lasgna and he doesn't mind the cottage cheese. He won't eat cottage cheese by itself, but he won't say he'll throw everything in the trash if it even gets close to his plate! LOL, but he's serious. He has lots of eating issues since he was a kid, such as he didn't want any of his food to touch. Mom had to put all of his food in separate little saucers. He's not quite that bad now, but close for a 57 y.o. man.

A splendid effort by the bowlers coupled with a fantastic 97 from Johnson Charles and a fine half century from Darren Bravo helped the West Indies beat India by 1 wicket in a thriller at Sabina Park in Jamaica. After restricting India to a moderate 229/7, the West Indies scraped through with just over 2 overs to spare. West Indies won the toss and put India in. Dwayne Bravo was forced to sit out with a groin injury. Kieron Pollard was leading the side in his absence. Ravi Rampaul also missed the fixture due to a sprained ankle. India went in with an unchanged eleven for the sixth game in a row. Shikhar Dhawan could not continue his Bradman-esque form and was sent packing by Kemar Roach for 11 in the 5th over. Virat Kohli stamped his authority early, upper-cutting Tino Best over the deep backward point boundary for a six. Best was guilty of bowling short and wide in his initial spell. Meanwhile, Kemar Roach was firing in on an impeccable line and length keeping the batsmen on their toes. Kohli was kept quiet for a while before Darren Sammy saw the back of the Indian number 3 for 11 in the 10th over of the innings. India were reduced to 39/2. Rohit Sharma and Dinesh Karthik resurrected the innings. Sammy and Samuels were difficult to get away and kept a tight leash on the incumbent duo. The latter was rewarded with Karthik's wicket who fell for a rather sluggish 23 off 56 deliveries offering a simple caught and bowled to the off-spinner. A painfully slow 59 run-stand between him and Sharma had come to an end. Rohit Sharma notched up a solid half-century - his 16th in ODI cricket but soon threw it all away with a mis-hit off Sammy to long-off. Sharma departed for 60 off 89 deliveries. India had moved to 124/4 after 31 overs. Sunil Narine did an excellent job in the batting powerplay (overs 35.1 - 40) conceding just 11 runs off his 3 overs. MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina were satisfied in nudging the ball in the gaps and did not show any urgency to step on the accelerator - the intention was to preserve their wickets till the final five. The Indian skipper pulled his hamstring while completing a run in the 43rd over. Roach picked up his 2nd getting rid of Raina for 44 off the very next delivery. Dhoni's movement and stroke-play was hampered. An injured MSD was cleaned up by Tino Best for 27. Bhuvneshwar Kumar hit a few lusty blows to lift India to 229/7. Narine was taken for 17 in the last over of the innings. Best, Sammy and Roach picked up 2 wickets each but Samuels was the pick of the West Indian bowlers with figures of 20/1 off his 9 overs. Dhoni did not take the field after the innings break and Kohli took over the reigns. West Indies got off to a terrible start. Umesh Yadav got the prized scalp of Chris Gayle for 11 before sending Devon Smith packing for a duck to reduce the hosts to 25/2 in the 4th over. It got from bad to worse for them when Bhuvneshwar Kumar cleaned up Marlon Samuels for 1 in the next. Johnson Charles, who had hit a flurry of boundaries to get going, began the rebuilding process with Darren Bravo. The opener took the risks while Bravo looked solid at one end. The pair took a liking to Jadeja and tonked him for a number of boundaries and sixes. West Indies reached the three-figure mark in the 22nd over. Charles notched up an impressive fifty off just 60 balls. The pair raised a fine hundred stand off 131 balls. Bravo followed suit and brought up his half-century off 72 deliveries. The 4th wicket partnership had added 116 before Ashwin got rid of Bravo for 55. Kieron Pollard and Denesh Ramdin fell in quick succession and there was a little panic in the West Indies' dressing room as the home team were reduced to 161/6 in the 32nd over. Darren Sammy came in and heaved Ishant Sharma and Umesh Yadav for a few massive sixes taking the match away from India. But he tried his luck a bit too often and was eventually sent packing for 29 by Ishant Sharma. Meanwhile, Johnson Charles had paced his innings beautifully, playing the role of the aggressor initially before settling down to play the anchor. He seemed determined to take the West Indies over the line before he had a rush of blood and gifted his wicket to Umesh Yadav for 97. Kohli's masterstroke to introduce Raina paid dividends as he dismissed Narine for 5. However, the last-wicket pair of Tino Best and Kemar Roach held their nerve and took the West Indies home in the 48th over to clinch a thriller at Sabina Park. Fittingly, the birthday boy, Kemar Roach hit the winning runs and remained unbeaten on 14 off 32 deliveries.

Uncaptured pulls away in Iroquois
Casse was asked if he thinks he will run Uncaptured back in the Grade 2 Kentucky Jockey Club at Churchill Downs on November 24 and he responded, "It's a good possibility."
Positively held on for place as 9-5 favorite Overanalyze improved his position to come in third. Strike the Note, Pataky Kid, Five Iron, Heaven's Runway, Triple Cross, Agave Cat and Road Agent completed the order of finish.
"My trip could have been better," said jockey Julien Leparoux, who rode Overanalyze. "He broke good, but coming to the turn he got squeezed and we kind of fell back after that. Then we ended up being wide, but he still came back in the stretch. He ran a good race, but he had a tough trip."
Uncaptured was undefeated in his first four starts, winning three stakes races in a row before a fifth-place finish in the Grade 3 Grey last time out. The son of Lion Heart returned $11.40, $4.60 and $3.60 to his backers with this return to the winner's circle. With his first graded victory on Sunday he increased his lifetime earnings to $406,845 and now has a career record which reads 6-5-0-0.
Bred by William D. Graham, Uncaptured sold for $290,000 as a yearling at the 2011 Keeneland September Yearling Sale. His dam is the Arch mare Captivating, making him a half-brother to multiple stakes winner Dancing Raven. Also from his female side of the family is Grade 2 winner Dundalk Dust and Grade 3 scorer Gentleman Beau.

eBay, Buy This Item Now
eBay (EBAY) should be trying to buy Gmarket (GMKT) -- that is, if it isn't already.
On Wednesday, the Seoul Economic Daily reported that eBay was in talks to purchase the South Korean online marketplace operator, sending Gmarket's shares up more than 8%, and suggesting that the market believes there might be something to the speculation.
And there should be. An eBay bid makes a lot of sense, particularly right now. Rumors of a possible deal have surfaced before, but eBay needs to do whatever it can to reignite growth in its core marketplaces unit, which investors have focused on despite strong showings in the company's other divisions.
Will eBay Buy South Korea's Gmarket?
