Pilots, licenced engineers and baggage, ground and catering staff are essential to Qantas operations and the lock-out will therefore make it necessary for all Qantas aircraft to be grounded. For precautionary reasons, this will take place immediately (as at 5pm AEDT, Saturday 29 October 2011).
Qantas is a complete train wreck. You have an Irishman running the show who is perhaps willing as the unions to fight it out.
Qantas could be gone by xmas.
I highly doubt that as it falls under the esential services acts the Goverment can renationalise it at any time.
A friend of mine wrote this about Alan Joyce:
"Actually, he's a very smart man. Went to the AGM on Friday and got a 5Mil payrise with some extra penalty clauses thrown in for good measure if the board terminates him early. Next day grounds the airline knowing that if there was a revolt against him, he would leave the airline and be walking out the door with enough money to retire on. If the action succeeds, he makes Qantas more profitable and reaches his performance targets and gets paid a lot more. I can't see how he can lose personally."
My response:
"Gunshot wound to the head."

A More Colorful World
The reason I started my own company was freedom. Freedom to work at something I love doing. I was sick of hearing contractors who just did it for the money. I enjoy painting and the way it makes me feel when I finish a job and the customer is amazed.
Brian Thomsen learned that patience and perseverance are very vital for his business. He also considers his clients as important factors for his success. He willingly helps his clients with their painting and contracting needs, plus, he never fails to listen to their opinions as well.
Customer is almost always right. But if you give an explanation of why something won't work they understand. Honesty is the best policy.
With over 25 years of combined experience, not just in painting but also in other contracting services, Brian and his team surely know how to satisfy their clients. Brian was tasked to paint the sky on a wall, and this was his favorite project so far.
If you need painting and other property maintenance services, try Brian of Paint Florida, and you will see the reason why his clients are happy to work with him.

Integrated genomic analyses of ovarian carcinoma
2011; 474 (7353): 609-615
A catalogue of molecular aberrations that cause ovarian cancer is critical for developing and deploying therapies that will improve patients' lives. The Cancer Genome Atlas project has analysed messenger RNA expression, microRNA expression, promoter methylation and DNA copy number in 489 high-grade serous ovarian adenocarcinomas and the DNA sequences of exons from coding genes in 316 of these tumours. Here we report that high-grade serous ovarian cancer is characterized by TP53 mutations in almost all tumours (96%); low prevalence but statistically recurrent somatic mutations in nine further genes including NF1, BRCA1, BRCA2, RB1 and CDK12; 113 significant focal DNA copy number aberrations; and promoter methylation events involving 168 genes. Analyses delineated four ovarian cancer transcriptional subtypes, three microRNA subtypes, four promoter methylation subtypes and a transcriptional signature associated with survival duration, and shed new light on the impact that tumours with BRCA1/2 (BRCA1 or BRCA2) and CCNE1 aberrations have on survival. Pathway analyses suggested that homologous recombination is defective in about half of the tumours analysed, and that NOTCH and FOXM1 signalling are involved in serous ovarian cancer pathophysiology.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Zack Rosen led the way with 20 points as the Penn Quakers downed the Yale Bulldogs, 68-47, in an Ivy League clash at The Palestra.
The win allowed the Quakers to remain tied in the loss column of the conference standings with Harvard. Penn must now win Tuesday night at Princeton to tie the Crimson atop the Ivy standings and force a one-game playoff in order to determine the champion and the automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
For the Quakers (19-11, 10-2 Ivy), Ben Belcore added 11 points to go along with five rebounds and five assists for the hosts.
Greg Mangano and Jeremiah Kreisberg each finished with 10 points for the Bulldogs (19-9, 9-5).
Yale was cold out of the gate, making only 24 percent from the floor, including just 1-of-4 from beyond the arc. Conversely, Penn started with the hot hand, connecting on 50 percent from the field, including 3-of-6 from three-point range, as the Quakers went into halftime leading 30-22.
After the break the Quakers pulled away, shooting 59.1 percent from the field while holding the Bulldogs to 30.8 percent. Penn opened the second half on a 20-2 run to take complete command of the contest. The Quakers led by as many as 29 late in the half, as they cruised to the easy victory,
Penn dominated in the paint, outscoring Yale 26-18. Yale was able to convert 14 offensive rebounds into 15 second-chance points.

A great long bouldering cave tucked down behind some houses in blaxland.
Avoid like herpes after rain or on humid days.
All the problems have been renamed in a "Surgery" theme as the original names have been lost to antiquity. Names and grades are welcome for the unnamed problems, I just haven't done them.
Access issues inherited from Lower Blue Mountains
Be sensible.
At Blaxland, turn off the Great Western Highway onto Coughlan Rd. Follow Coughlan Rd past the High School and over the railway bridge, and take the first right onto Honeyeater Cres. Where the road turns left, keep going straight ahead down what looks like a driveway. Follow to the bottom of the hill and around to the left. Park at the end of the straight just before the road starts heading back up the hill.
Descent Notes
From the carpark, find and follow the faint trail heading through the bush and down the hill. When it intersects another trail, turn left and continue until you see another faint trail (marked by a cairn) heading down towards the creek.
Follow this towards the creek (do NOT cross the creek), and then follow the base of the cliffline around to the left, continuing until the cliff opens up to reveal The Surgery.
Ethic inherited from Blue Mountains
Mixed-climbing on gear and bolts has generally been the rule in the Blueies. Please try to use available natural gear where possible, and do not bolt cracks or potential trad climbs.
Because of the softness of Blue Mountains sandstone, bolting should only be done by those with a solid knowledge of glue-in equipping. A recent fatality serves as a reminder that this is not an area to experiment with bolting.
If you do need to top rope, please do it through your own gear as the wear on the anchors is both difficult and expensive to maintain.
It would be appreciated if brushing of holds becomes part of your climbing routine - do it with a soft bristled brush and never a steel brush!
The removal of vegetation - both from the cliff bases and the climbs - is not seen as beneficial to aesthetics of the environment nor to our access to it. Generally it's best to leave all this sort of stuff to the local climbers.
No history yet, has been climbed at for a long time. Any history is very welcome.
Start in the rad underslot, big moves to a high finish
Double side-pull start then up via crimps and slopes to the rail jug. A great problem and tricky until up figure out the beta.
Start at double undercling then up via nice crimps to jug, direct start V1
Start on jug right of the flake then undercling/side pull the the flake to finish on orange horn.

So I bottled it tonight after two weeks fermenting, and the last 3 of those days it was cold crashed. I got 23.5 bottles with the last half bottle being an experiment of a high carbonated beer. I used brewers best carbonated tablets, as per instructions it's says four tablets for medium carbonation and five for high carbonation. I did half my batch with 4 and half my batch with five so that I can see for future reference what they really do.
The cold crash really helped to clear the beer up the trub was cemented to the bottom of the lbk and didn't move all the way till the end. The beer was crystal clear, I was really pleased with that. I did not see any toilet paper particulate or any other matter throughout the beer and an inspection of the trub didn't produce any foreign matter as well.
Thank you guys for talking sense into me and telling me not to throw it out, I think I was just a lil pissed off at first. Now I have two weeks in the bottle to condition and then going to do two weeks in the fridge, it should be ready just in time for the Super Bowl : )
I say bottle it up and save it for when your kids are of drinking age, then share it with them!
So how did your brews turn out?

OC is okay in my town, but none of the ones surrounding it. Might as well junk the municipal trumps state laws. Stupid, and causes too much confusion.

Under Heaven (edition 2011)
by Guy Gavriel Kay
Work details
Under Heaven by Guy Gavriel Kay
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
ORIGINALLY POSTED AT Fantasy Literature.
Guy Gavriel Kay's latest historical fantasy, Under Heaven, is gorgeous. If you're already a fan of GGK, you know exactly what kind of delight you're in for. Under Heaven is every bit as wonderful as Tigana, A Song for Arbonne, and The Last Light of the Sun. Every bit.
Under Heaven takes place in Kitai — an alternate Tang Dynasty (but not so alternate that you won't recognize the names of many of the characters if you read just a brief history of the Tang Dynasty). The civilization and culture is experiencing a golden age and family honor is one of the highest ideals. Shen Tai, in order to honor his dead father, has spent two solitary years burying the bones — and silencing the ghosts — of thousands of men who died in a battle between Kitai and neighboring Tagur. Just as his mourning period is about to end, three strange things happen almost simultaneously: a friend shows up with urgent news from the capital city Xinan, an assassin is sent to kill Shen Tai, and the princess of Tagur gives Shen Tai 250 Sardian horses — an incomprehensibly valuable gift that instantly catapults him to the highest ranks of Xinan society. Now Shen Tai must journey back to Xinan, he's got assassins on his tail, he doesn't know who he can trust, and he has no idea that war is brewing and his return may be the catalyst.
I've already said that Under Heaven is just as gorgeous as Kay's previous historical fantasies: It's well-researched, carefully constructed, tightly plotted, and beautifully written. The mingling of the real and the magical is delicate — there are no wizards or wands, but just the acknowledgment of the existence of the supernatural and the weird. Most impressively, GGK's work is always full of poetry, passion, and life. His characters, those who play major roles and minor ones, feel like real people and, whether we like them or not, we come to understand their histories, motivations, frustrations, and desires. We smile when they laugh, our hearts race when they're afraid, and we cry when they mourn.
Another feature that sets Kay's historical fantasies apart from others is his ability to completely immerse us in a real culture without telling us that he's doing so. Some historical writers feel the need to drop names, exposit, and lecture. In contrast, Guy Gavriel Kay brings a historical period to life without making us feel like we're reading a textbook or that we're required to admire his research and knowledge. Since we spend most of our time in Mr. Kay's characters' heads, I also appreciate that these characters are all fictional (Mr. Kay explains why he does it this way in the introduction and I completely agree with his philosophy).
I read Penguin Audio's version of Under Heaven, narrated by Simon Vance. For years Mr. Vance has been one of my favorite narrators, and he's wonderful here, as usual. If you're an audiobook reader, you'll definitely want to try this version read by the incomparable Mr. Vance. Regardless, you don't want to miss Under Heaven — it may be the best fantasy novel of 2010.
GGK has presented a fine example of his work. Almost sounding like a translation from the Chinese, he presents a story of a rebellion, both in the larger field, as monstrous egos commit monstrous crimes, and the personal, as a coming of age story is presented, balanced a number of adult themes very well.
Set in a Tang China (more or less), we have a protagonist, who having come up with a noble way of following his own heritage, is presented with dizzying possibilities. The mighty, and the greedy gather round, and the bulk of the book deals with all the manoeuvers that occur even before the gift is delivered. Strong characters, and a well realised world keep the reader on board until we gain, along with our hero, enough wisdom to negotiate the politics of the time, and their consequences, personal and national.
I can always count on Kay to engage and delight me. One of my very favorite authors.
Guy Gavriel Kay is one of my favorite authors, but the lyrical prose I've enjoyed so much previously was almost the undoing of Under Heaven. As he states in the afterward, the poetry of T'ang Dynasty China was a major inspiration for this novel but it seemed to me that he tried too hard to infuse some of that poetry into his prose.
Tai would wonder about this later, too. If the world as it went forward from that day might have been otherwise has another leader and his fifty men been shifted to the northern route from the congested highway to Xinan.
There are always branches along paths.
Under Heaven p. 491
Repetitious statements like that last sentence are sometime affecting, but they appear too often in Under Heaven and read like interjections from the author reminding the reader what they should feeling or thinking.
I still enjoyed the book and as with all of Kay's historical-fantasy, I was left deeply interested in the real history of the time period he is using. In an amazing body of work, however, Under Heaven ranks well below other works, such as [b:Sailing to Sarantium|104097|Sailing to Sarantium (The Sarantine Mosaic, #1)|Guy Gavriel Kay|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171506639s/104097.jpg|1336666] or [b:The Summer Tree|104086|The Summer Tree (The Fionavar Tapestry, #1)|Guy Gavriel Kay|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171506609s/104086.jpg|3238632].
Wonderful book set in, like much of Kay's writing, in a place that is very close to our world (in this case ancient China), but not quite our world. The central them regards responsibility, what is a son's duty to his dead father, what is his duty to his country and emperor, what is the daughter's duty to her family. All of these questions get tangled up when the son of a dead general mourns his father by going to the scene of his father's greatest victory (on the border) and spends two years burying the bones of the tens of thousands of dead soldiers on both sides. His act causes the queen of the neighboring country (the other side in the war) to give him a gift of some very special and valuable horses. What he does with them sets off events that shape his life and take his country in a totally new direction. Wonderful book.

Very Pleased
I have been very impressed with these dishes. They arrived quick and unbroken. The outer color is a beautiful metallic gray and the inside is a inviting cream color. They do show fingerprints but I really dont mind that. The dinner plates and salad plates are a good size and the icecream bowls are perfect for my children's cereal in the morning. We love the larger bowls for pasta and such. They are holding up well in the dishwasher and microwave. Over all I am very pleased with these dishes. They are beautiful and at a good price. Thanks Overstock!Read More
This is a great little set to jumpstart your kitchen. Plates are heavy and durable, mugs are wide enough that they are easy to clean, and dont get overly hot to the touch if you put them in the microwave (a problem with a lit of stoneware and ceramics). I have no compaints about this set, it was just what I needed for my new place.Read More
Absolutely beautiful...
What an amazing deal for what you get! I looked at similar sets at crate and barrel for SO much more.... The plates are a great size, and the two sizes of bowls are a great bonus. They look beautiful, and hold up well in the dishwasher and in the microwave. Yes, the fingerprint issue is true, but it does not bother us that much. It wipes off with a chamois, no problem!Read More
So Pretty
The dark edge has an almost pewter color to it. I love the little bit of shine it brings a bit of fancy to every meal. I really love how sturdy the dishes feel and they stand up great to the dishwasher and microwave. So happy I purchased this set.Read More
Poor quality
I purchased this dinnerware set as a replacement of a much older set which consisted of mismatch dinnerware. Already this dinnerware is starting to show signs of poor quality. On the packaging and on the back of each dinnerware piece there is a stamp that states, "dishwasher safe and microwave safe." That is not the case at all, I have had this dinnerware of approximately 11 months and already the plates have hairline cracks and discloration, I am afraid to continue to use them for fear of food landing in someone's lap. The cups are not much better, when the cups are placed in the microwave for 3 seconds to heat water, the handle gets extremely hot, too hot to handle with your bare hands. I would not recommend this product for any reasons other than to throw in a fireplace or for skeet shooting . . .Read More
Great heavy duty dinnerware
Packaging was solid. Dinnerware was better than advertised.Read More
Love These Dishes
Dishes are really nice. I like the big mugs and big cereal bowls. Really classy-looking!Read More
I don't recommend these dishes
I bought this set of dishes for my son after reading the many overall positive reviews. We both liked the clean lines and style of the dishes. Unfortunately, the set he got has many of the features that the negative reviews share. The bowls that came with the set had significant pitting in the glaze and the bottom of the bowls had asymmetric divots (not intentional). I contacted Overstock support staff and they were super (5 star service!) and sent a new set of dishes to replace the defective ones. The new bowls were of a better quality and we thought the problem was solved. Unfortunately, over time more flaws became apparent. Like other reviewers, my son found that when he washes the dishes in the dishwasher, any part of the dinnerware that touches the rack, becomes discolored and stays discolored. There is less discoloration if you hand wash the dishes; however, all of the colored surfaces are prone to unsightly spotting where your hand touches them. There must be a flaw with the glaze. He is now sorry that he didn't return the whole set for a refund when he had the opportunity. For a company like Sango, the poor quality of this dinnerware is not acceptable. Do not buy.Read More
A great gift
This was the perfect Mother's Day Gift. My mother love the dishes and use them daily. I actually considered purchasing some myself.Read More
Don't purchase these!
These dishes look nothing like the picture! The are more metallic gray than the dark gray color that is shown.Read More

Shopping Guides
How to Choose Casual Dinnerware
Whether you're getting ready to set up house for the first time or you've been serving meals for years, you know that casual dinnerware is a household staple. If you've been using the same dishes for years, you might be due for an update: styles change, pieces get broken, the casual dinnerware you inherited from your mother-in-law has lost its luster. Casual dinnerware is perfect for everything from lunches to informal dinner parties. Learn how to choose casual dinnerware and get ready to entertain.
How to Register for Dinnerware
Beautiful dinnerware can be a surprisingly large investment for newlyweds. Originally designed to help couples acquire a full set of fine china, wedding registries often now include both the formal dishes and one or two sets of casual dinnerware. However, registries are quite flexible, and you can choose just the dinnerware you want -- whether you need complete sets or a few pieces to expand what you already have. If you make a list of the pieces you want before you start shopping, you can shop quickly and concentrate on style.
Best Uses for Casual Dinnerware Sets
Food is one of the great pleasures in life, and you can make it even more enjoyable with the right casual dinnerware set. The right dinnerware can act as your secret ingredient -- spicing up any and every meal with no extra effort on your part. Whether you're a food aficionado or a first-time hostess, a casual dinnerware set is a must-have for impromptu parties and daily use.
How to Care for Formal Dinnerware
The way you care for your formal dinnerware and fine china often depends on the material your dinnerware is made of. While antique dishes and bone china dinnerware will need more gentle care than stoneware place settings, you'll still want to preserve all of your tableware. Here are some tips and tricks to help you take care of your formal dinnerware and keep it looking its very best for years to come.
How to Set the Dinner Table
Dinner tables are set differently depending on the type of dinnerware and what food is served. Casual dinner table settings provide each person with the three basic pieces of silverware while formal dinner table settings provide guests with a separate piece of silverware for each course served. Plates, bowls, silverware, napkins and glasses are all part of the necessary dinnerware for setting the table. Having separate dinnerware sets for both formal and casual dining events is very helpful for setting the table appropriately.

How to Install a Ceramic Soap Dish
Updating your bathroom can be as simple as installing stylish new bath fixtures. Soap dishes come in a variety of materials, but one of the most common is ceramic because it is hardy, easy to clean and durable. Soap dishes are generally not difficult to install in any shower or bath. Attach your ceramic soap dish to the tile in your bathroom in just a few steps.
How to Tell If Something Is Microwave Safe
Many bowls and plates are considered microwave safe; however, if you use the wrong dish, you could ruin both the dinnerware and the dinner. Microwaves are convenient appliances, but there are a few precautions you should know about when it comes to your dishes. Always check to see if a dish is microwave safe before using it in the microwave. Some containers can break, melt or scald you. Some containers can also damage your microwave, such as foil-lined containers. Microwave-safe dishes can be used to both cook and store food. Non-microwave safe containers can only be used for storage or serving.
Serveware Buying Guide

From cookware and dinnerware to serveware and everything in between, choosing the right pieces while sticking to a budget can seem overwhelming. This serveware buying guide will help you figure out which serveware pieces you will need.

With the right teacups for your beverage service, you can create the atmosphere you want for your customers.
How to Clean Your Dishwasher
Proper cleaning of your dishwasher will keep it looking and performing like new for years to come. You may regularly clean out your refrigerator and wipe down your other kitchen appliances, but dishwasher maintenance and cleaning care is often overlooked for the simple reason that many believe a dishwasher will simply clean itself. However, without proper cleaning, your dishwasher can be a breeding spot for germs and grime that will leave your dishes anything but clean and sanitary, and not cleaning your dishwasher can lead to other dishwasher problems as well. In order to avoid a germy build-up of mold and grime on your dishware, use the following techniques when cleaning your dishwasher.
New Trends in Bakeware

Because bakeware is one of the kitchen items you use most, finding the right bakeware shouldn't have to be intimidating.

This bakeware buying guide is here to help.
5 Reasons to Buy Proteak Cutting Boards
The best dishes are the ones made with freshly chopped ingredients, but dicing onions, potatoes, and herbs can be the most tedious part of making a vegetable stew or a chicken pot pie. Make prep work easier on yourself with a high-quality cutting board. Invest in one that will last and you won't have to worry about shopping for this vital piece of kitchen equipment again anytime soon. Proteak, the maker of fine teak decking, furniture, and building materials, now offers teak cutting boards. Are Proteak cutting boards right for your kitchen? Consider these five reasons to shop for them.

Save money on your water, soap and dishwasher repair and cut time spent in the kitchen when you follow these tips on loading the dishwasher.
Buffets Buying Guide
Preparing and serving home-cooked meals is an incomparable joy, especially when it all goes smoothly. The secret to ensuring a smooth, effortless meal is adequate space -- storage space for dishes and utensils and space to serve the entrees. That's why buffets make such popular pieces of dining room furniture. And thanks to their size, shape and storage utility, buffets are also versatile accent tables that are useful just about anywhere. Vocabulary might have something to do with the reason buffet tables aren't put to more use outside the dining room, but this dining room furniture can be used in many different ways throughout your home. Consider these tips when buying and using buffet tables and other dining room tables.
How to Display Fine China
Fine china can be displayed as part of your kitchen and dining room decor when it is not being used for special occasions. There are a number of different ways to display your formal dinnerware. Safety, proper lighting and care all should be considered when choosing how and where to display your formal dinnerware. In homes with children and pets, fine china should be kept out of reach of small, curious hands and wagging tails. You should, however, be able to access the china readily for cleaning and use.

Yeah I think the https road might be a bit to much.
I will try to do the http install as you have stated. You are right I have a bit more to do. But I really like ispconfig.
When it comes down to it I need a walk through
for creating domain1.net, health.domain1.net, math.domain1.net and domain2.ca for my friends each with seperate logins. I have a lot of DNS stuff to look at also and now for some reason after I reset the modem and baught a switch for other technical reasons I get the default page for my domain and not the apache page which is good but I don't know how I got it.
But again the SSL input you provided will be looked at. If I lose my mind it means I'm just getting broken in to this Linux world.

This would allow sites that currently support both an internal and an external home page to have just one home page. I thought I stumbled across a server once that was supporting an include capability, but I no longer remember what it was. Anyone else have a pointer?

A new new name?
I thought they'd already changed. It is the BC Christy party now, according to the LINO website.

Here's a name that better describes them: Christy Clark's Corporate Cartel Coalition.Delete
This was used on Chuck Strahl's full-page ads, supporting the Liberals in the recent byelection in Chilliwack. It looked ridiculous. Why would they use the least valuable asset of the party to promote themselves?ReplyDelete

('What's the deal with airplane food?' No, but it might sound like that.)
On the odd occasion Jeff man's the podcast he always seems to get it up Tuesday before 12pm GMT, Ryan on the other hand...it's almost consistently 'late' and more like a rare treat if it's up on a Tuesday. My question is, why is that? Is it because Jeff's more used to dealing with audio as he uses audio software making his music on the side?
I'm sure Ryan's pretty used to the software now (4/5 years and counting) so what is it? It can't purely because Ryan's such an asshole.

But for the sake of our children and our future, we must do more to combat climate change. Yes, it's true that no single event makes a trend. But the fact is, the 12 hottest years on record have all come in the last 15. Heat waves, droughts, wildfires, and floods - all are now more frequent and intense. We can choose to believe that Superstorm Sandy, and the most severe drought in decades, and the worst wildfires some states have ever seen were all just a freak coincidence. Or we can choose to believe in the overwhelming judgment of science - and act before it's too late.
The good news is, we can make meaningful progress on this issue while driving strong economic growth. I urge this Congress to pursue a bipartisan, market-based solution to climate change, like the one John McCain and Joe Lieberman worked on together a few years ago. But if Congress won't act soon to protect future generations, I will. I will direct my Cabinet to come up with executive actions we can take, now and in the future, to reduce pollution, prepare our communities for the consequences of climate change, and speed the transition to more sustainable sources of energy.
Four years ago, other countries dominated the clean energy market and the jobs that came with it. We've begun to change that. Last year, wind energy added nearly half of all new power capacity in America. So let's generate even more. Solar energy gets cheaper by the year - so let's drive costs down even further. As long as countries like China keep going all-in on clean energy, so must we.
In the meantime, the natural gas boom has led to cleaner power and greater energy independence. That's why my Administration will keep cutting red tape and speeding up new oil and gas permits. But I also want to work with this Congress to encourage the research and technology that helps natural gas burn even cleaner and protects our air and water.
Indeed, much of our new-found energy is drawn from lands and waters that we, the public, own together. So tonight, I propose we use some of our oil and gas revenues to fund an Energy Security Trust that will drive new research and technology to shift our cars and trucks off oil for good. If a non-partisan coalition of CEOs and retired generals and admirals can get behind this idea, then so can we. Let's take their advice and free our families and businesses from the painful spikes in gas prices we've put up with for far too long. I'm also issuing a new goal for America: let's cut in half the energy wasted by our homes and businesses over the next twenty years. The states with the best ideas to create jobs and lower energy bills by constructing more efficient buildings will receive federal support to help make it happen.
America's energy sector is just one part of an aging infrastructure badly in need of repair. Ask any CEO where they'd rather locate and hire: a country with deteriorating roads and bridges, or one with high-speed rail and internet; high-tech schools and self-healing power grids. The CEO of Siemens America - a company that brought hundreds of new jobs to North Carolina - has said that if we upgrade our infrastructure, they'll bring even more jobs. And I know that you want these job-creating projects in your districts. I've seen you all at the ribbon-cuttings.
Tonight, I propose a "Fix-It-First" program to put people to work as soon as possible on our most urgent repairs, like the nearly 70,000 structurally deficient bridges across the country. And to make sure taxpayers don't shoulder the whole burden, I'm also proposing a Partnership to Rebuild America that attracts private capital to upgrade what our businesses need most: modern ports to move our goods; modern pipelines to withstand a storm; modern schools worthy of our children. Let's prove that there is no better place to do business than the United States of America. And let's start right away.
Part of our rebuilding effort must also involve our housing sector. Today, our housing market is finally healing from the collapse of 2007. Home prices are rising at the fastest pace in six years, home purchases are up nearly 50 percent, and construction is expanding again.
But even with mortgage rates near a 50-year low, too many families with solid credit who want to buy a home are being rejected. Too many families who have never missed a payment and want to refinance are being told no. That's holding our entire economy back, and we need to fix it. Right now, there's a bill in this Congress that would give every responsible homeowner in America the chance to save $3,000 a year by refinancing at today's rates. Democrats and Republicans have supported it before. What are we waiting for? Take a vote, and send me that bill. Right now, overlapping regulations keep responsible young families from buying their first home. What's holding us back? Let's streamline the process, and help our economy grow.
These initiatives in manufacturing, energy, infrastructure, and housing will help entrepreneurs and small business owners expand and create new jobs. But none of it will matter unless we also equip our citizens with the skills and training to fill those jobs. And that has to start at the earliest possible age.

Shameless: Obama's gun control campaign
As part of this campaign, the President "is expected to make an emotional appeal in his State of the Union address," the Post reported. The White House is expected to invite families who lost children in the Newtown, Conn., tragedy last month to attend the address alongside the First Lady. What a surprise.
The President who pressed for tax hikes on families making more than $250,000 a year by labeling them "millionaires and billionaires," who portrayed the notably generous Mitt Romney as an uncaring vulture, intends to push for gun control on behalf of the children.
Questions about whether Obama's proposed changes will actually work will be dismissed by the teary-eyed President, children on either side, who insists that the only way to show we care is to do as he prescribes. Emotional manipulation is a tool of both sides, of course, but no one employs it as shamelessly as Barack Obama. It seems that we are about to find out just how shamelessly.

Ugandan Women March over brutal arrests
Women activists are to march in Kampala today to protest government's brutal response to demonstrations against the spiralling cost of living.
Announced yesterday - on Mother's Day - the women's protest comes two days after lawyers under their Uganda Law Society ended a three-day strike over the high-handedness of the security agencies in dealing with the bi-weekly walk-to-work protests.
Police: No objection
"We as women in civil society are hereby convening to register our deep concern and condemnation on the use of excessive force by the Police and other security agencies and subsequent escalating violence and to call upon the State to take critical measures to address the key issues/ concerns raised by the public so as to avert a national crisis," the organisers said in a statement issued yesterday.
Police deputy spokesperson Mr Vicent Ssekate said police had no objections to the march but added that they had been informed that "no political statements are going to be made but simply talk about the situation in the country".
Ms Carol Namagembe, one of the organisers, told Daily Monitor that the women will issue a statement to the UN Rapporteur for Human Rights, Ms Margaret Ssekaggya, and to President Museveni.
"We shall be telling the government that this is not about politics," Ms Namagembe said. "The issues we are addressing cut across board. It is the beginning of a sustained effort to demand accountability from government on issues affecting Ugandans, especially women."
The organisers of the women's march were keen to distance themselves from the walk-to-work protests but it is likely to be a busy week after opposition announced a series of protests this week, including a vigil on Thursday during President Museveni's swearing-in ceremony.
In a joint statement presented by Democratic Party president, Mr Norbert Mao, the leaders also declared a public rally to be held at the Constitution Square tomorrow.
"We are convinced that there can never be a better venue for this important event than the Constitution Square which is named after our Constitution under which those inalienable rights are enshrined," Mr Mao said.
The police, however, said no rally would be permitted at the square, which is in the heart of the city.
"No rally will be allowed at Constitution Square," police spokesperson Judith Nabakooba said yesterday. "The opposition should look for other venues and not Constitutional Square."
The opposition, however, insisted yesterday that with or without police permission, they would still conduct the rally there.
Insisting that the rally would go ahead, Mr Mao said: "We are inviting all Ugandans to join us to find solutions to the current economic meltdown. We re-affirm our commitment to the rule of law, non-violent and peaceful expression of dissatisfaction to the recent developments."
Other activities announced in the week of protest include the routine walk-to-work on Monday and Thursday, a joint rally at Clock Tower on Wednesday, a walk-to-mosque on Friday and a walk-to-church on Sunday. Saturday shall be a day for parading torture victims, Mr Mao said during a press conference.
Opposition officials from all the main parties who attended the press conference said they would boycott Thursday's swearing-in ceremony, citing concerns about the integrity of the February 18 presidential election.
Meanwhile, FDC officials are today expected to announce a date for the return of party leader Kizza Besigye who is out of the country for treatment after he was doused in pepper spray during his violent arrest last week.
Thanks for sharing this
It is time for women to get up and let the world hear what they think and how painful their silent cry is.
It is time for women to demand accountability from government on issues affecting our lives, "especially women."
Go women!
Please keep us updated on how it is going with the rally!
Trust your HOPES, not your fears... Harmony

Local indie-rock fans have long since considered soft-toned rocker John Ralston as a hometown hero. As a native of Lake Worth, he's rocked out South Florida's scene for years, opening for, and occasionally headlining with, other local-but-exploited acts like Dashboard Confessional and Legends of Rodeo. But now Ralston has honed in on a sound and style of his own: one that blends four-track-style harmonies with background violins and slow-charging beats. He's mastered the role of full-frontal indie icon, and his last album, Needle Bed, even included a downloadable box of chocolates, so that everyone who cares enough to support him knows that he loves them. And let's face it: You can't get more indie than that. So in a sense, he's your high school boyfriend (except that Ralston grew up, cut a hit record with Vagrant Records, and then went on tour with Ben Lee, while yours is still living at his mom's house, scribbling in his journal). He's playing a show this Thursday with fellow local rockers Black Finger, Catalonia, and Summer Blanket, and it's all celebrating Steve Rullman's 40th, er, we mean, 39th-one-more-time birthday, and also the 9th anniversary of his stellar website, thehoneycomb.com. That's a lot of local goodness all wrapped up in one party, so for all those music lovers out there with hometown pride, this is the place to be.

Dorm Supplies Shipped Right to the Room – Alice.com
I know that we are harping on a theme these days (here and here), but just as no one really, really, really – like, I mean, really – told me how having kids would change my life, no one has warned me of all the prep work that is required to send a kid off to college these days. Oy!
We got most of it done by now, including the dorm room shopping bit and that's mostly thanks to this convenient solution called Alice.com. For those of you already using Alice, it's a "duh!", I know. For others who have not used it (yet), I raved about the service here and haven't looked back since. So, my dorm room supplies solution is to order from Alice.com and have all the sundries shipped directly to my son's dorm room. Brilliant, if I say so myself.
Here's what I got:
- All toiletry duplicates (we want him to feel at home when he comes back, without having to bring a toiletry case to use in his own home) such as shampoo, body wash (would you be surprised if I told you that he is using Old Spice nowadays?), deodorant, toothpaste, etc…
- Laundry supplies: I love that I could find tiny packaging on the site. There is certainly no room to store the 50 oz bottles here. I like the Country Save laundry packets. Nice and small and convenient to bring down to the laundromat. I also like the GrabGreen 3-in-1 pre-measured pods which also contains fabric softener. I went for the pack of 24 on this one. Both product lines are green. Then let's not forget the Tide To Go stain remover pen.
- Dishes and cleaning: I love Sun & Earth products which I discovered through Alice (wrote about them here). In this instance, I think that their trial size bottles are perfect for dorm room use. I got my son the dish liquid and the all purpose cleaner. Green and $0.89 each.
- First Aid: Alice has everything in this category. Pain relievers, bandages, antibiotic ointment, cough drops and the rest. But I also got this SymptomPak which is perfect to appease all potential flu-related ailments. Add chicken soup.
- Coffee & Tea: My son loves his coffee and was given a mini French coffee press which he is taking with him along with an electric kettle. I thus ordered ground coffee – and a variety of teas. Though Alice doesn't sell sugar per se, they do carry sweeteners of various kinds, including Sun Crystal which is stevia and cane sugar based.
- General: one roll of paper towels, box of tissues, batteries…
That's it. I think we are covered. I've added a few "luxury" items (like a fancy nut mix and shortbread cookies) to the order to surprise my son when he opens the box. It will be convenient to replenish any of these items via long distance and have the whole order delivered right to the residence hall. PHEW.
5 Responses to Dorm Supplies Shipped Right to the Room – Alice.com
I love Alice too! You can also have fun and fashionable dorm room accessories shipped right to your door at http://www.mydormdigs.com/.
Don't forget to mention that they can also buy the Pickle-in-a-Pouch for their late night cravings. A much healthier snack food alternative and also available on Alice.com.
My husband and I love Alice. We found that the prices are usually very close to WalMart prices. Sometimes very slightly higher and sometimes less, but then when you figure in gas to get to WalMart and just the sheer convenience of having the products delivered to your front door, it's a wash. I've told my friends, but I don't think any of them have tried it yet.
Alice sure beats Target or having to go to the store… another spot that beat the big retailers is http://www.DormCo.com.
