Strange Things in the Sky
Human beings have always seen unidentified objects in the sky. From the prophet Ezekiel's sighting of a flying wheel in 593 B.C., to the 1561 A.D. Battle over Nuremberg, Germany, to Kenneth Arnold's "pie plate" UFOs spotted near Mt. Rainer, Washington, in June 1947, there are things above our heads that baffle us.
Many of these unidentified flying objects appear to be intelligently controlled aircraft. Others, like the following sightings in California and Illinois, defy explanation.
San Marcos, California
Wade stopped at the beach in Del Mar, California, on his way home from San Diego to San Marcos, on a lazy summer afternoon. He spent the rest of that June day surf fishing and arrived home after dark, around 9 p.m. "I relaxed, had a beer or two and went to my covered drive to clean my catch," Wade said. "I completed that task and looked to the north at the rocky mountainside in the near distance."
He didn't expect to see what was there. "Above my neighbor's homes across the street something was shimmering and moving rapidly side to side in a space of maybe 60 feet at 20 feet altitude," Wade said. "I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me from the time earlier in the day when I spent time on the beach in the bright afternoon sun. I was wrong."
Two shimmering, nearly transparent parallel lines about three-feet wide in the air moved silently and quickly side to side in the faint glow of a streetlight. "It was just wings and eyes," he said. "The wings didn't flap like a birds, it was more like a dragonfly, but dragonflies don't grow three-foot wingspans, fly at night, or display what seemed to be some kind of intelligence like this thing did."
The entity's side-to-side movements encompassed about 60 feet in what Wade estimated was only a few seconds. Wade said the entity seemed to know he had seen it and it stopped in the air. "Whatever it was, it halted its side-to-side movement and seemed to focus on me," he said.
Fear gripped Wade and he felt his hair rise from his scalp to his ankles. "I was sure it was a real thing, then I noticed the thing had big black eyes," he said. "They weren't friendly eyes at all."
The entity quickly shot across the street toward Wade. He dropped to the pavement and it swooped over his head. "The thing was interested in me," Wade said. "It was staring me down when it was across the street and either attacked or was trying to intimidate me, or who knows what, when it came at me."

Wade moved from under the covered part of his drive to get a better look at the swooping thing. It was directly above his head. "I felt great fear," Wade said. "I said to the thing out loud,' I see you.'"
It moved again.
"It zipped back into view from the direction it had gone, and was looking directly down at me with the weird unblinking eyes," he said. "It realized I was looking right at it, and it took off in a flash. It's gone. For good, I hope."
Oak Brook, Illinois
Cool air poured through the open windows of the car as Lisa Becker and her husband pulled through their suburban Chicago neighborhood of Oak Brook one night in 1996. Nature painted the dusk pink, orange and red, but something dark suddenly smeared the canvas. "As we approached our subdivision, we saw a large blackness in the air," Becker said. "It was about eight feet in diameter, about 100 feet away from us, and about 30 feet in the air. It was moving in a straight line."

Hey cats and kittens....
One of the calipers on my Juicy 5 set is draggin on the rotor and I would like to know if there is anyway to adjust it without bleeding the brakes. I did somthing dumb and squeezed the lever while the wheel was off the bike. Since then, the pads having been dragging on the rotor, creating quite a bit of resistance. I've tried pushing the pistons back in with a flathead screwdriver, but they ain't budging. Any ideas?

Take a monthly break from JUDDD without gaining weight?(RAMADAN)
Hi ladies, as u can tell im still pretty 'new' to this whole JUDDD experience, im really liking it so far and im enjoying seeing the scale move down!
So excuse me for asking so many questions
Anyway, as maybe a few of you gals now, Ramadan starts in july, a whole month of fasting, you can eat when the sun goes down(around 10pm where i live) until 4/5am in the morning(when the sun is starting to come up)so during the rest of the day you CANT have ANYTHING.. no water,no cigarettes,no chewingum absolutely nothing.
I always have a hard time during ramadan, i even get constipated real bad for some reason and very fatigue,also after eating i always go straight to bed. Not only am i worried to gain weight, im more worried that i will break down.
So is there a way i can take a break from JUDDDing for this month without gaining weight?
I'm not an expert on JUDDD, but it is just a type of Intermittent Fasting which is what you will be doing anyways during Ramadan. I'm not sure I would do both together, depending on when you eat I think down days would end up getting way to hard. Some JUDDDers do eat within windows, which you will be doing, but not many do it for both DD's and UD's.
If I had to fast like you are going to have to, and I still wanted to lose weight, I would just eat within that window at my goal calories per day to achieve weight loss, TDEE less a calorie deficit your comfortable with. Eating 2 meals, a big one at 10pm and a big one at 4am, but the same calories each day. I think you would probably still lose weight even if you didn't eat at a deficit just because of the long fasting period, and I think it would be hard to gain weight if you control your calories to your TDEE calories.
Not sure when your going to sleep though, seems like you would need naps through the day so you can compensate for being up at night to eat.
off course you can !!
i've been thinking about ramadan for a while now
i believe that both of us can eat about 1200 calories a day without gaining any fat weight but you may gain water weight at first so be prepared ..ramadan is a perfect chance for dieting and taking control of appetite and if you follow sunna you'll find that the prophet was restricting calories all his life and specially during ramadan beside establishing tarawih prayers which you can count it as exercise ..
do this for god and the hereafter not for donya lol
I went straight from JUDDD to a type of daily fast as practiced in PHD. I eat in an 8 hour window and have not gained, but lost 17 lbs since 1st of Jan. If you are eating so close to sleep, I would think a bit of time before actually going to bed would help. I would also try to hydrate sufficiently and supplement w/ triphala for your digestion. :)
Just stick with your UD/ DD calories, but eat them at 10pm only on DD and eat twice during the night on UD to get more calories in.
Also, to help stave off the constipation, you might consider having a low-carb, HIGH-FAT meal just before you lay down for your longest sleep(if you are being bi-phasic with naps). By this I mean something like a protein shake made with cream and/or liquid fat of your choice(butter/ghee/coconut oil/olive oil), say 100 calories of protein and 400-600 calories of fat.
High fat can really help many cases of constipation. You may like to test this out before Ramadan, to see how it affects YOU.
Good luck. With your long days, this sounds like a real challenge. We're rooting for you.
I think you should take a break. It will be stressful enough fasting during the long summer days in the northern latitudes. Anyway it is better to think about other things during the month of Ramadan!

Diversity.. at what price?
- 9I am working in a large inner city facility. Corporate expounds the benefits of a diverse working culture.
I understand the benefits of a large pool of talent. There is every nationality on Earth represented in this medical center.
Recently, I took report from the recovery room. The nurse had such a thick accent , I had to ask her to spell some of the words she was saying. During the shift, I "worked" with a resident that was also very difficult to understand. He is also from a culture that expects women to walk 3 feet behind them. Needless to say.. the communication was difficult and time consuming.
At the end of the shift, I gave report to a nurse from another culture, that had never heard of the procedure the patient had undergone. Another language barrier ensued as I tried to explain the case.
I find it interesting that they can understand my mid-west American accent, but not vice-versa. The communication effort is time taking away from patient care.
I have seen a Chinese nurse, trying to describe a (emergent) patient's condition, over the phone to an Indian doctor, with a nursing assistant yelling in the background trying to interpret for them.
Is there a solution?

Thick accents are difficult to deal with, it is frustrating to not be able to communicate. I am somewhat hard of hearing from too much rock and roll, childhood illness, and old age. That can really interfere with my ability to communicate with co-workers and patients. In medicine it is important to communicate well.
No solutions from me, just lets cut each other some slack, and try to all get along.

True Brown burns an other one
I had some people call me asking that I come look at their yard and tell them what was wrong or what they could do. I didn't exactly jump on it because it sounded like an other Tire Kicker. Finally after 3 calls I made it to their house because I was in that Neighborhood.
WOW What a mess. First there wasn't enough St Augustine left to save any of it. Got to admit it was a nice stand of Crab Grass. But the Biggie was the shrubs that were burned in the front where the TG/CL tech sprayed them but not the backs of the shrubs next to the house. This alone shows mismanagement or lack of professional care. Under law there is a STANDARD OF CARE that must be assured by a service provider.
Interesting thing was they had Before TG/CL Pictures of when they purchased the house 1 1/2 years ago. BTW the same time they hired TG/CL. I suggested they take after Pictures and Email both Before and After Pictures to TG/CL with a note they wanted their landscape replaced or they would be contacting a lawyer.
I heard by the Grape Vine TG/CL in my area is replacing an average of a lawn a week from mismanagement. I plan to follow up on this one just to see if TG/CL does anything. I want to seethem crash & burn

Police arrest 47 Bangladeshi nationals after raid on unregistered security firm
Posted By Neil Merrett On May 9, 2012 @ 5:51 PM In Business & Tourism,Society & Culture | Comments Disabled
A total of 47 Bangladeshi nationals working for a local security firm were seized on Thursday by the Department of Immigration as part of a wider crackdown on unregistered migrant workers.
The detention of the expatriate workers comes after police late last year reported a "day-by-day" [1] increase in human trafficking in the Maldives. The Maldives Police Service's claims were based on a surge in the numbers of illegal expatriate workers found in the country.
Assistant Controller of the Immigration Department Ibrahim Ashraf told Minivan News that the 47 Bangladesh nationals were all apprehended following a raid of a company providing security guards that was not registered to employ foreigners.
Ashraf claimed that the company the men had been working for had been in operation for 10 -12 years, yet no information could be found on its operations.
"During the raid, we found 47 Bangladeshi nationals all wearing security uniforms along with equipment like walkie talkies and badges," he said. "They were not registered for this work and we could not find any records linked to the company."
While the Department of Immigration has said that it was not cracking down specifically on security firms employing expatriate workers, Ashraf added that concerns remained about ensuring the industry had correctly licensed its foreign staff.
"Until recently, the Ministry of Human Resources did not provide [expatriate] work quotas to security firms," he said. "There has been a growing demand among local businesses to hire security services. The Ministry of Human Resources has therefore begun issuing quotas for hiring expatriates in security services."
Ashraf added that the Immigration Department's concerns were not focused just on security firms, but instead on companies from various industries that had failed to obtain and then correctly register staff.
"Right now we are looking for expatriate workers on the run. We have received a lot of reports from employers about staff going missing," he said. "This is especially true in the outer atolls, where we are getting complaints about unregistered employees travelling between islands."
Ashraf claimed that the 47 Bangladeshi nationals who had been detained Thursday would not necessarily be deported if a sponsor could be found to provide employment and accommodation for them.
"We will try and give the employees the opportunity to stay here and work if a sponsor is willing to regularise them," he said.
High Commission
The High Commission of Bangladesh in Male' said it had been made aware of the 47 detained workers, who had been seized for not having proper documentation.
The commission said it was often notified regarding such cases, and was presently awaiting travel documentation for the detained expatriates before considering possible deportation.
The High Commissioner of Bangladesh, Rear Admiral Abu Saeed Mohamed Abdul Awal, said today that he believed workers from the country were regularly being brought to the Maldives to perform unskilled work, usually in the construction industry. Awal alleged that upon arriving, expatraites from Bangladesh were suffering from the practices of "bad employers".
"This is a real problem that is happening here, there have been many raids over the last year on unskilled [expatriate] workers who are suffering because of the companies employing them. They are not being given proper salaries and are paying the price for some of these employers," he said.
Rear Admiral Awar added that it was the responsibility of employers to ensure expatriate staff had the proper documentation and suitable living standards.
Concerns about the treatment of expatriates from across the South Asia region were also shared by Indian High Commissioner Dynaneshwar Mulay. Speaking to Minivan News last month, Mulay raised concerns over the general treatment of Indian expatriates in the Maldives, particularly by the country's police and judiciary.
Mulay claimed that alongside concerns about the treatment of some Indian expatriates in relation to the law, there were significant issues relating to "basic human rights" that needed to be addressed concerning expatriates from countries including Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
Mulay's comments were made following an alleged attack on a Indian resort worker, who was reported to have been struck with a hammer and mugged while staying in a hotel in Male'. The attack was allegedly committed by a former employee of the same resort.
Big business
Beyond concerns about the basic human rights of foreign employees in the country, labour trafficking is also believed to represent a significant national economic issue.
An ongoing police investigation into labour trafficking in the Maldives last year uncovered [2] an industry worth an estimated US$123 million, eclipsing fishing (US$46 million in 2007) as the second greatest contributor of foreign currency to the Maldivian economy after tourism.
The authorities' findings echo concerns first raised [3] by former Bangladeshi High Commissioner Dr Selina Muhsin, reported by Minivan News in August 2010. The comments by Mushin were made shortly after the country was placed on the US State Department's Tier 2 watchlist [4] for human trafficking.

Convergent biological, epidemiological, and clinical data identified urate elevation as a candidate strategy for slowing disability progression in Parkinson disease (PD).
To determine the safety, tolerability, and urate-elevating capability of the urate precursor inosine in early PD and to assess its suitability and potential design features for a disease-modification trial.
Design, Setting, and Participants
The Safety of Urate Elevation in PD (SURE-PD) study, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging trial of inosine, enrolled participants from 2009 to 2011 and followed them for up to 25 months at outpatient visits to 17 credentialed clinical study sites of the Parkinson Study Group across the United States. Seventy-five consenting adults (mean age, 62 years; 55% women) with early PD not yet requiring symptomatic treatment and a serum urate concentration less than 6 mg/dL (the approximate population median) were enrolled.
Participants were randomized to 1 of 3 treatment arms: placebo or inosine titrated to produce mild (6.1-7.0 mg/dL) or moderate (7.1-8.0 mg/dL) serum urate elevation using 500-mg capsules taken orally up to 2 capsules 3 times per day. They were followed for up to 24 months (median, 18 months) while receiving the study drug plus 1 washout month.
Main Outcomes and Measures
The prespecified primary outcomes were absence of unacceptable serious adverse events (safety), continued treatment without adverse event requiring dose reduction (tolerability), and elevation of urate assessed serially in serum and once (at 3 months) in cerebrospinal fluid.
Serious adverse events (17), including infrequent cardiovascular events, occurred at the same or lower rates in the inosine groups relative to placebo. No participant developed gout and 3 receiving inosine developed symptomatic urolithiasis. Treatment was tolerated by 95% of participants at 6 months, and no participant withdrew because of an adverse event. Serum urate rose by 2.3 and 3.0 mg/dL in the 2 inosine groups (P < .001 for each) vs placebo, and cerebrospinal fluid urate level was greater in both inosine groups (P = .006 and <.001, respectively). Secondary analyses demonstrated nonfutility of inosine treatment for slowing disability.
Conclusions and Relevance
Inosine was generally safe, tolerable, and effective in raising serum and cerebrospinal fluid urate levels in early PD. The findings support advancing to more definitive development of inosine as a potential disease-modifying therapy for PD.
Trial Registration
clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT00833690
aA majority of these 80 participants (89%) were determined ineligible based on screening serum urate values greater than the population median, a criterion that was expected to exclude approximately half of all consenting individuals.bThe participant who withdrew did so after discontinuation of the study drug, which was because of declining to receive alkalinization treatment for acidic urine.
A, Tolerability of the study drug from baseline to drug discontinuation displayed as Kaplan-Meier survival curves over the maximum 2-year period for participants taking placebo or inosine dosed to mildly or moderately raise serum urate. Tick marks indicate censored events (see the Methods section). B, Estimated time course of serum urate levels across study visits with the study drug initiated at the baseline (BL) visit and continued for as long as 24 months (V12) until 1 month before the final (safety) visit (SV). Means and 95% confidence intervals from a mixed model are displayed. For visits V1 to V12, serum was collected after morning study drug intake, except for the "trough" sample at week 12 (V05). The shaded range of serum urate concentrations represents exclusionary values at the screening visits (SC1 and SC2). C, The CSF urate concentrations and ranges (bars, with boxes and dots representing the interquartile and median values, respectively) after 12 weeks of receiving the study drug. P < .001 for the mild and moderate inosine groups compared with placebo. D, Correlation between CSF and serum urate levels at the 12-week visit for individuals identified by their treatment groups and sex. F indicates female and M, male.
A, Kaplan-Meier curves showing time to disability warranting dopaminergic therapy for up to 2 years of follow-up for each of the 3 treatment groups. B, Futility analysis of the change in total Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) scores over 12 months or until need for dopaminergic therapy, based on National Institutes of Health Exploratory Trials in PD (NET-PD) methods.24,25 Much or most of the 95% confidence interval for the mild or moderate inosine treatment groups, respectively, falls below the futility boundary (FB), defined as 70% of the placebo group's mean rate of change. C, The 24-month change of total UDPRS score estimated from a mixed-model analysis of variance (ANOVA) allowing unstructured profiles over time suggests a trend of decreasing rate with increasing inosine dose. D, A weaker trend is observed when using a complementary random-slopes model incorporating sex-specific effects and assuming linearity in change over time. E, Rates of mood change during the study as assessed by differences in Geriatric Depression Scale short form (GDS-S) scores over an average of 18 months' follow-up. Receiving either dose of inosine, the rate appears slower (comparison-wise P < .001) compared with placebo.

It is time the BCCI buried the hatchet with Kapil Dev
Of late, whatever the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) does, it gets into a controversy.
The well-intended gesture to give cash awards to all former cricketers who donned the Indian colours with distinction, has turned into another of BCCI's goof-ups.
Board president N. Srinivasan announced earlier this month that the surplus funds earned from the Indian Premier League would be distributed among a select band of former Indian international and first-class players, with each getting a one-time payment of Rs. 25 lakh to Rs. 1.5 crore, depending on the number of matches they have played.
This, the BCCI felt would help those cricketers who did not have benefit matches after their retirement.
The move is indeed a welcome one. Imagine someone like 78-year-old Nari Contactor, the former Indian skipper, who received a few hundred or thousand rupees as match fees during the peak of his career. For him, Rs. 60 lakh would sure be valuable.
Unfair exclusion
But, the BCCI ignored stalwarts such as G.R. Vishwanath, Syed Kirmani, Dilip Vengsarkar, Mohinder Amarnath, Mohammed Azharuddin, Kapil Dev and Kirti Azad. The argument that went against Kirmani and Vishwanath was that they had benefit ties in the past. But the board should ponder over the fact that these cricketers did not earn even a fraction of what is being paid by the BCCI now, from their benefit ties.
The issue against the former Indian captain Azharuddin is different, as he was banned by the board, following match fixing charges and subsequent court proceedings. But the exclusion of Kapil Dev is galling. The man, who was instrumental in India winning the World Cup of 1983 deserves a better deal. Kapil, who led the now defunct rebel Indian Cricket League (ICL), is seen as detractor of the board. True, Kapil was involved in an acrimonious battle with the board on the issue, refused its offer of 'amnesty'.
No for vendetta
But then much water has flown under the bridge since then. It is time that the board buried the hatchet with Kapil Dev.
Kapil has reacted with lot of grace, saying, "It's their call and I am neither happy nor unhappy about it. I have always given my best to the country and played positively. I take this also in a positive manner."
The omission of someone like Kirti Azad was expected as he has been a trenchant critic of the BCCI. Kirti went on a hunger strike recently to draw attention to allegations of corruption and mismanagement of the IPL and BCCI.
Azad, who is a BJP MP, is unrepentant about his tirade against BCCI. He renewed his attack claiming that with its so called largesse, BCCI wanted to buy the silence of former cricketers. "I am not bothered about not getting paid. If they can deny it to someone like Kapil Dev, it is the height of pettiness. I for one will keep pointing out their mistakes, whenever they go astray," Azad said.
Whatever may its logic be, it is for the BCCI to show that the game is bigger than individuals and they have the heart to embrace all who embellished Indian cricket.
Keywords: BCCI, Kapil Dev, IPL surplus funds

Work of Art
After all the studio flirtations, scatological subject matter and soggy breakdowns, Work of Art: The Next Great Artist crowned its second season winner Wednesday night.
[WARNING: The following interview reveals the winner and details from the finale.]
In her final exhibition challenge, Iranian-American painter Kymia Nawabi created an installation that examined the concept of what comes after death through detailed drawings, amplified with textured paints and accompanying burial sculptures. She beat out performance artist Young Sun Han and figurative painter Sara Jimenez to win a solo show at the Brooklyn Museum in addition to the $100,000 cash prize. Not bad for a waitress with only $50 to her name.
The Sucklord
The Sucklord entered Bravo's Work of Art a brazen supervillain, but left defeated by, among other things, his sentimental side. At the end of this week's episode, he went home after co-designing a colorless maze as street art, a project that he says was the result of having been beaten down physically and emotionally by the competition. "I didn't see it coming but once it came it made total sense to me," he says. "There's not a lot of sleeping that goes on in these things. I was practically half-asleep throughout the entire challenge so I wasn't totally cognizant of what was going on, as evidenced by the mediocrity of my art work. I failed the challenge, I failed the show, I failed the competition. It was time for me to get the hell out of there."
TVGuide.com spoke to The Sucklord (nee Morgan Phillips) on Thursday about why he thinks the kids challenge crippled him and why he's working on a China Chow action figure over, say, a Jerry Saltz one. Plus, his thoughts on Lord of the Rings vs. Star Wars, Lola vs. Sarah K, Jerk of Art, penises, and more:
Did choosing a headline about Sister Act do him in? Or was it Simon's words of encouragement that led him down the wrong path? Perhaps, as judge Jerry Saltz suspects, exhaustion became a factor. Work of Art's Bayeté Ross Smith says the bottom line is he was sent home because his golden doorway just wasn't very good. TVGuide.com spoke with the 34-year-old multimedia artist, photographer and arts educator about what went wrong during this week's "Ripped from the Headlines" challenge, what the doors were supposed to say, and calling The Sucklord Sucklord:
China Chow
Bravo has set the premiere date for the second season of the Sarah Jessica Parker-produced Work of Art: The Next Great Artist.
The show returns on Wednesday, Oct. 12 at 9/8c and pits 14 up-and-coming artists against each other as they battle for $100,000 and a solo show at the Brooklyn Museum. China Chow will host, Bill Powers and Jerry Saltz return as judges and world-renowned auctioneer Simon de Pury will serve as a mentor.
Work of Art
Work of Art, Bravo's new reality show, pits up-and-coming artists against each other — just like in the real world.
Bravo welcomes SJP's new reality series
In the Sarah Jessica Parker-produced series, 14 designers who work in various mediums, compete for the chance to win a solo show at the Brooklyn Museum and $100,000 cash. Each week, a panel of judges, including New York Magazine art critic Jerry Saltz and British model-actress China Chow (who's also the show's host), critique the work and eliminate one artist.
But this is no stuffy museum piece, says Simon de Pury, an art auctioneer and Work of Art's mentor. "I think everybody ...

Metals and Mining: Winners and Losers
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Great Northern Iron Ore Properties (GNI), IAMGOLD (IAG) and ArcelorMittal (MT) outperformed other stocks past week, while Mines Management (MGN), James River Coal (JRCC) and Alpha Natural Resources (ANR) eroded a significant portion from their stock value.
Great Northern Iron Ore Properties emerged a top gainer last week increasing 6.2%. The company is considered to have one of the highest dividend yields, currently trading at 12.01%. IAMGOLD followed gaining 5.4% last week, after entering into a private placement agreement of approximately $1.2 million with Dios Exploration for a future joint venture and for acquiring a 60% interest in Dios's Shipshaw Project. Moreover, IAMGOLD announced record fourth quarter gold production of over 310,000 ounces. The company said 2010 gold production is at the upper end of its guidance range of 940,000 to 970,000 ounces, while cash cost is well within $565 to $585 per ounce.
ArcelorMittal edged up 2% last week after receiving analysts' upgrades. Last week, the steel giant announced that its steel plant in Georgetown, which was shut down following erosion in steel demand, will restart operations within a few weeks. However, industrial analysts are skeptical about the reopening of the plant. In a separate development, Brazil-based White Martins, a subsidiary of Praxair (PX), has signed an agreement with ArcelorMittal to supply oxygen to the latter's steel production facility in southeast Brazil.
As per Global Industry Analysts report, the global aluminum market is all set to breach the 52 million tonnes mark by 2015. Meanwhile, United Company Rusal sees global aluminum demand growing by 8% in 2011, with China accounting for almost 12% of consumption. Besides, aluminum demand by global aircraft manufacturers is seen growing at 15%, with China accounting for a major portion.Aluminum Corporation of China (Chinalco) (ACH) rose 1.6% last week, after reporting profitable 2010 results. The company recorded a profit of $410 million in 2010, compared to a record loss in 2009, driven by revenue increases and drop in administrative expenses. For 2010, revenue increased almost 41%, compared to the prior year. Additionally, Rio Tinto (RIO) and ACH are finalizing a joint venture in China with Chinalco holding 51% and Rio Tinto controlling a 49% stake. HSBC has upgraded the stock to overweight from its earlier neutral rating.

I only have thing to say: hanson.net sucks sometimes. this is the story: i joined hanson.net under a group account. thorg was the username. you can probably guess why. Anywho, 8 of us who didn't have forty-damn-dollars to spend on a website paid $5 to one person with a credit card and she signed up for us. After a day, the account was canceled. The th.org forums has spies. plain and simple because I know nobody shared the name or anything. So, we're hoping to get our money back. but that's okay because the actual members-only part kind of sucked. i mean, it was cool and all, but it's just plain looking...and it takes FOREVER AND A DAY to load. plus it freezes my computer in my room.okay, i think that's the only time i've ever ranted on hanson. the 8 people are pretty pissed with hanson.net right now. and one of them lives in Europe, up by Russia. and she has to pay way more money to get h.net.okay, off that subject....there was a german/dutch/norwegian website (i don't know what the language was. lol.) that had release dates for albums and it said Hanson's Underneath would be released on May 26, 2003. I really wish that was true, but it's okay.yo, my stero flipped on my hanson cds. i listen to 'middle of nowhere' every night and it plays while i sleep so i can wake up to it. but one night, it stopped playing the cd in the middle of a song. but it's okay because i'm getting a new one on my birthday. 6-17. :) It'll be 5 years on that date. I got it on 6-17-99.the greatest birthday present this year would be the album by the title of Underneath by the band named Hanson. June 17th falls on a tuesday this year and that's when CDs come out! lol. I'd be so happy if that happened.okay, this must be the longest entry on this journal ever so i'm gonna go. byex3.
Zac updated on H.net.I want a paid account on lj. I'm tired of just having 3 icons.
I don't know if this sounds selfish, but I really wanted to see Sorority and Fraternity Life last night. I mean, I could understand not seeing it last night because the war had just started, but it was supposed to come on today at 5pm-7pm...Now, they're playing music videos. Videos everyone has seen. I would like to watch Sorority and Fraternity Life!---yeah, i didn't want to go to war. My friends are all on trips out of state so I hope they're all okay! My junior friends went to New York. My cousin went to Maryland/Washington, DC for ROTC Nationals. My sophomore friends who are cheerleaders went to SC for Canam....and since they got to go on their trips, I got I get to go on mine to Boston. I'm going with the orchestra. I play the violin.
I can't get into the TH.org Forums and it's annoying me...I need more votes for the awards!
Je m'appelle Deidre. Comment vous appelez-vous? Ça va? ( in English )
TAMPA BAY WON THE SUPER BOWL!!!! hell yeah! 48-21!!! ((#47))..oh yeahI can't wait til Wednesday! New episode of Angel!!Thanks to my friend, Megyn on lj, I can listen to just Hanson/the Moffatts/BSB when I do French class online. Accradio.com I think. anywho, she said it played Man From Milwaukee...hell yes! Any online radio website/station that plays Hanson, much less MFM, is awesome!!


text: Newey says RB7 secret not flexible wing 15 April, 2011 Adrian Newey celebrates with Sebastian Vettel after the Malaysian GP Apr.15 (GMM) Red Bull's rivals are playing games when their complain about flexible front wing which, according to Red Bull RB7 designer Adrian Newey, is not where the secret of the car's design lies. The Briton told Germany's Auto Bild that it is the entire chassis concept of the dominant 2011 car that leads to the front wing being perceived as running unfairly lower than the opposition cars are capable of doing. "It is not an issue about the front wing being bent or not," said Newey. "The secret is how the car is designed overall. There is the impression that the wing is closer to the ground than for example the McLaren, which has been designed with the opposite principle – higher at the front and lower at the back." Newey admitted he is annoyed that despite building cars with opposing philosophies, Red Bull's rivals are making a meal of the low riding front of the RB7. "I have the impression that teams that have gone McLaren's way would have our concept prohibited, yet it was their own decision to build their cars the way they did," he said. Newey said it is ludicrous to suggest that the front wing explains Red Bull's impressive pace so far in 2011 and Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso in China appeared to agree, saying, "Our problem at the moment has nothing to do with flexible wings." The RB7, penned by Newey, has dominated the two opening rounds of the 2011 F1 world championship with Sebastian Vettel winning the Australian GP and the most recent Malaysian GP, taking pole position for both races too.

Happy birthday? o.o
But in all seriousness i can relate to this. As the years go by, my birthday just becomes another day of the year for me. I think this poem is a good one, niot because of the subject matter, but for straying from the beaten path. Remembrance is normally a positive thing, where as you have taken it and squeezed all the happiness from it. Not an easy task, and i respect that. Nice job!

I have been working at DIRECTV full-time (more than 8 years)Pros
Cutting edge software, open door policy, very positive work environment, very focused on safety and overall top cuatomer satisfaction.Cons
Supervisor and management level pay is somewhat lacking. However technician pay has increased in several areas over the past few years which is a great thing considering the tech force is the daily face of DTV as a whole. The supervisor and manager pay should follow suit as we are the ones directing cultural change in our markets.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Work on more levels of pay for the techs, especially the ones who wants to stay techs. There simply needs to be a more progessive structure.

I ordered this after seeing the picture on the website - it is exactly as shown. The color is a nice deep dark espresso brown/black. The finish is smooth and satin finish. The product assembled in minutes and is sturdy. I love it and am considering another one.
Pay attention to the 2 sizes of cams - the thicker ones go on the bottom side pieces and not on one of the shelves. I broke one of them trying to make it turn when there wasn't enough space for it. Even without the one hardware piece, the towers are very sturdy and very nice looking (I bought a pair).
I read a previous review and I was worried. HOWEVER, after receiving the product and assembling it in 30 minutes, I am very pleased. The piece Classique Dark Espresso Linen Tower is money well spent.
I almost didn't buy this because some reviewers expressed some difficulty with assembly but I found it to be very easy to assemble. The linen tower fits perfectly in the space for which it was bought and looks great. I'm very happy that I have a fair amut of confidence in my DYI ability and bought this tower.
Super cheap materials, broke very easily during assembly. Legs uneven. Maybe worth about half the price.
Good size for a small bathroom. A snap to put together by myself. I like it.
Cheapest item I have ever received! Look at another product!
Purchased this stand to fill a corner in my office. It was the right dimensions that I wanted if I were measuring from the contoured top. Unfortunately I needed the shelving area to be a little wider. Instructions were a little on the vague side and not the easiest to follow. And you have to have 2 people to put it together.
Well, my first Linen Tower arrived and I found when I went to put it together that it was damaged in three places. It appears to be a warehouse storage issue, not shipping issue. I emailed Overstock and they very quickly shipped me out a replacement, which just arrive. I have not opened the replacement yet, but I am concerned of there being the same issue. It appears that the ends of the stand, where the wood is not sealed, has absorbed some moisture in storage and has swelled to the point of warping and cannot be screwed together as needed to assemble. Keeping my fingers crossed that the second tower does not have this issue! I really love the looks of the tower, and the quality of the wood, (except for the issue described) seem to be just what I am looking for to use for towel shelves in my newly remodeled guest bathroom.
The color is a perfect match to my bathroom vanity. It fits perfectly in the small space area. Overall the quality of work is very poorly made. It has cracks where you insert the screws and not sturdy. The insert rings kept popping off. Not happy with this product.

Corn Bread - Gluten Free and Vegan
I remember these from when I was a child. My mother called them 'Johnny Cakes'. I love corn bread, and its a really good alternative to a cupcake or muffin for Molly as it's low in sugar so good for reflux. A bit of butter (dairy free...of course) is nice, especially when they're warm out of the oven.
I've amended the recipe from my Mom's old Betty Crocker recipe book. As I've doing gluten free and vegan it means playing around with binding agents and liquid to get a good consistency. I find gluten free baked goods need to be baked in a slightly cooler oven as they seem to burn a bit more easily. When adjusting a recipe to make it gluten free do add in a bit more liquid as well as an additional binding agent - in this case I used Xanthan Gum. I prefer to ground Flax Seeds as I find Flax gives a cloying texture.
This is a nice, simple recipe so good for beginners.
Heat oven to 180° C
Line muffin tin with cases.
1 cup fine cornmeal
1 cup self rising gluten free flour blend (Dove's Farm) or your own mix
2 tablespoons caster sugar
4 tsp baking powder - I use gluten free from Dove's Farm
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/4 cup non dairy milk (I use Rice Dream)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1tsp Organ Egg Replacer plus 2 tablespoons extra milk or water
1 tsp Xanthan Gum
Blend together the dry ingredients briefly in a large bowl - cornmeal, flour,caster sugar, baking powder, egg replacer, salt and Xanthan Gum.
Add in the milk, vegetable oil and the extra milk/water for the egg replacer.
Mix vigorously for 1 minute. The batter should be lump free (grainy because of the corn meal) and fairly thick.
Spoon into muffin cases and smooth the top of each muffin so you don't have any spikey bits that might burn.
They don't rise a huge amount so I only get 10 muffins from this recipe.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean
Cool for 10 minutes in the tin, them move to a wire rack to cool completely.

Welcome to the Piedmont Blues Preservation Society Website!
From our love of music and our belief that music is best shared in a community, came the founding of the Piedmont Blues Preservation Society in 1985. Our non-profit organization works to cultivate and preserve the tradition of blues music. Our mission is to help the youth of our community discover the wonder and joy of music by raising awareness and providing music education to our community and schools. We strive to bring quality blues events, including our Annual Carolina Blues Festival, (now in it's 28th year!) concerts, competitions, workshops, and educational programs to the Triad. We collaborate with other non-profits in support of health-related issues, educational initiatives, and societal concerns. Our focus is to promote local businesses, the arts, education, tourism and to make Guilford County a great place to live.
We've got a terrific hand-built custom Snare Drum made of Ambrosia Maple with a value of $1200,00, that we are raffling off to help our Blues Challenge Winners on their way to Memphis for the International Blues Challenge, Jan 20-24, 2015. Tickets are $5.00 each or 5 for $20.00. Drawing will be January 11, 2015 and you DON'T have to be present to win! The winner of the drum will have their name engraved on the artists placard on the drum. All proceeds will go to our 2014 Solo/Duo and Band Challenge Winners!
