the stones started falling 3 days after I started using the case.
I've received SO many compliments on this cover! Everyone asks me where I bought it and are shocked when I say how much it cost. Looks way more expensive!
I actually ordered the chrome one, and was disappointed when they sent me a purple one. When I called to send it back, I was not refunded, eventhough it was their mistake. Fine keep your money and the cheap phone I sent back
Sometimes bling can be a little gaudy but this was not the case. It was attractive and dare I say a classic vintage look to it.
I loved this case when I first got it, then a few minutes into ownership, one of the Rhine stones mysteriously disappeared. Case is beautiful, but I wondered how much protection it would provide if my phone fell, also could not hook my phone up to my portable speaker with the case on, so I no longer use the case.
I bought this for my iphone 4s and iphone 5 . . . This is the best protector because it doesn't get scratched and is so sturdy. I had so many compliments and people asking where I got it from. There's just enough bling on there for people to notice, but not too gaudy and looks much better in person. I'm so happy with this and for the price, GREAT BUY!!
Nice case for the price. Priced other cases at the carrier and they were ridiculously priced. Just what I needed to protect my phone and looks good too
I love this phone case. It is a fun change from what I usually have and EVERYONE comments on it. It's a lot more sparkly than it looks in the picture and I absolutely love it. Super girly and fun. I dropped my phone and the corner chipped off as the case is basically a hard plastic, but it protected my phone (surprisingly). Cute and functional. I would drop my phone from a ten-story building but it did the job when I dropped it on the sidewalk. The back has gotten a little scratched up because I toss my phone in my purse all the time but it's a phone case, that's what it's meant to endure. I switch phone cases every couple of months.. this one definitely serves it's purpose.

Not in a depressed, I-am-all-alone sort of way. Just in a I-officially-lost-my-voice-about-half-an-hour-ago-and-can-only-croak-at-people-now sort of way. So excuse me if I run on a bit here, because I figure the million-odd words that I would have said in the past thirty minutes are all mashed into this post.
I do like to talk, you know. (Understatement of the year? Yes.)
Anyhow! These past week (it's almost a week!) since the last out of the World Series has been odd. I've been wearing my coziest jeans and drowning what is left of my brain in chicken soup, but I can't fully acclimate myself to the offseason because, well, there's baseball, still. No small amount of it. No small amount of Giants in it, either.
First there's, of course, the Arizona Fall League and there's the whole Taiwan-MLB All Stars series. Only two, but enough to blow up my baseball news feed with scores and stats and play-by-plays. I'm telling you, it weirds me out.
As I have said before, Gameday basically lulls me to sleep in (sometimes less than) 10 minutes, so I am relying on my baseball buddies to keep me updated on all the gossip as to Gary Brown's virus- or was it that he was just bad? THE DRAMA.- and Joe Panik's… panicky ways. Or something.
As to the Taiwan series, as much as I love Selig and his internationalism, I am having a hard time getting into it. The All Star Game is one thing, with people from different teams on one, but a whole series?
Wish me and my tortured voice luck, please. Or some more chicken soup broth. Oh, yes, that sounds good. If you'll excuse me…

July 10, 1918 Mother Mine: Just received a letter from you with enclosures from Trude and Florence. There is absolutely no news of an exciting nature at this time. Am on duty at a relay hospital being relieved tomorrow four days duty. The weather here in the mountains, although it rains quite often, is wonderful. The days are fairly warm, but the nights are very cool which makes morning come rather early. As we have only four cars out on duty we are able to play at cards, read, etc quite a bit. Rather a coincidence that the first two men in Utah should come from Ogden and be named Ted? Conoroy Well Mother mine, as I say there is mighty little doing on present in our neighborhood and that of course is all we see. The Italian and Russian news is good and the delay in the Hun attack heartening. The Yanks, we see look mighty good and everyday means more. Can't say when the Huns will let loose or whether we will be in it or not, but know he'll be licked just the same. Although we hear that it may be until 1920 before Fritz is licked. I still believe now will see his doom. Well Mother, will write soon again closing with my love I am Your Son Ted (Censored by George K. Brad 1st Lieut. U.S.A.A.S.)

Not all that pleased with this one, the cost of the device comes with the expectation that you get something without major downsides. I can list some glaring ones. For starters, I have to restart my PC to get the software to recognize the scanner after being idle. This is incredibly inconvenient and a terrible failure on Fujitsu's part. This is with all the troubleshooting they recommend, which boils down to trying different USB ports, and reinstalling the software. A lot of the time documents get misaligned (Receipts in particular) and do not feed correctly, entering the scanner straight and falling into an angle. While the scanner software does correct and straighten documents scanned crooked, it only detects documents coming through the center of the feed tray and stops a scan prematurely if the receipt has fallen out of that sensors view. Keeping the document or receipt straight in the feed tray is very difficult, even with the guides. When feeding a document 14 inches or longer, the scanner quits scanning at the 14 inch mark and feeds the rest of the paper. The best fix I can come up with is tearing the original document to make two pages for one, and this makes the resulting PDF very confusing when the document contains print on both sides. Overall though, it is a huge improvement over your basic all-in-one printer. The thing that bugs me is that I paid this extraordinary price for a device that requires a lot of coddling. Will not purchase a Fujitsu next time!
Still learning how to use it. So far it working Great, and fast. Having a little problem finding scanned items, I'm sure it's user error.
I purchased the ScanSnap because I read positive reviews about it online. I have been very disappointed with paper jams, crooked scans, etc. I wish I would have gotten a bigger, better scanner. It would have been worth the extra dollars to help me get things done in a timely fashion. If I could return it, I probably would. It has been a disappointment.
Easy to use Fast Operates as indicated Very forgiving of paper size and quality.

Private Gems
Greater Miami has fewer private clubs of note than the region's affluence and illustrious golf history might suggest. Indian Creek Country Club (1928), situated in an exclusive residential community on a 300-acre island off the coast of Miami Beach, was designed by William Flynn of Shinnecock fame. La Gorce Country Club (1927) in the heart of Miami Beach lies atop two million-plus cubic yards of earth dredged from Biscayne Bay for the construction of the course. Within a year of its opening, the club hosted the Miami Beach-La Gorce Open, won by Johnny Farrell. Robert Trent Jones Sr. tweaked the original H.C.C. Tippets layout in 1953 and Jack Nicklaus redesigned it in 1995. Deering Bay Yacht & Country Club (1991) in Coral Gables is home to a scenic and well-regarded Arnold Palmer layout that unfolds along a secluded inlet of the Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve.

Cutout V-Neck Bodycon Dress
Vibrant pink!
I recently bought this dress for an upcoming birthdays and seeing how quick bebe dresses sell out i couldnt wait. First tried it on in the orange color but bought the pink instead because i thought i looked like a pumpkin with the orange dress.
This dress fits like a glove and its short but not too short. I got it in pink but the picture does not do it justice. The color has a hint of vibrant pink neon. Perfect for the summer nights! Also the material is thick so it wont show every little line and it's also true to size.
May 30, 2013
Love this dress
This dress looks way better in the store than online. The orange color is more bright and orange than the picture. Also the material is soft and not cheap. A dress that will turn heads. I can't wait until I wear it in Vegas! I am 132 pounds with a 34 D chest and the small fit perfectly.
May 28, 2013
Absolutly HOTT!!!
Went into the store not even looking to buy a dress. I bought a red dress online and didn't like the way it fit. the sales rep pulled out a dress and I saw this dress hiding behind the one the sales rep pulled. as soon as i sliped this on instant love, it fits like a glove and looks so sexy. i cant wait to wear this in miami. totally recommend this dress, the picture doesn't do it justice
May 27, 2013
This dress is awesome!!!
I love this dress I wanted a bodycon dress for the summer. The sale rep at the store Tammy was great! She heard my concerns about the beloved bodycon dress I tried in orange and pink but that the material was too thin because it showed my undies. She pulled this dress out for me to solve my concern and it sure did. She pulled the pink- the pink in the picture doesn't do it justice. The pick is a vibrant pink which looks amazing especially on tanned skinned tones. I am 5'5" usually a size xsmall. I'm 118pds but the size small fits me great. I like things fitted but still comfortable to move. Since it has lining its a bit thicker but not heavy. It fits and is comfortable and lined so underwear lines are not noticable. I love this so much I am going back for the orange.

Transportation in Munich
Munich's bendy buses are fast and efficient, and the system is easy to navigate.
Unless you are out after midnight, public transportation is the best way to travel around Munich. The city's licensed taxis (typically cream-coloured Mercedes) are easy to spot, but generally quite expensive.
Munich's rail network – comprising eight underground lines (U-Bahn) and 11 urban rail (S-Bahn) lines – is fast, convenient and inexpensive. Zones 1-4 cover the inner city, while all-zone tickets will take you all the way to the airport. Stamp your ticket in one of the blue Entwerter machines before going down to the platform, unless you have a Tageskarte (day travelcard).
The centre of Munich is compact and easily manageable on foot.
Rent your car
Parking in Munich is not an easy task; parking if complicated and can work out expensive - public transport is a better option.
Transportation tips
The CityTourCard includes a day ticket for use on public transport as well as a discount card valid at more than 30 tourist attractions. They are on sale at all U- and S-Bahn stations as well as MVG Customer Centres. Driving in the home of BMW is stress-free, but parking can be a challenge.

Located online at www.tennesseeoverhill.com, the website was funded in large part by USDA Rural Development, with additional funding from Tennessee Department of Tourist Development, McMinn County, and Humanities Tennessee.
One hundred and ninety-three small businesses and non-profit organizations in the three-county area are showcased on the site.
Linda Caldwell, executive director for TOHA, said, "We believe this website will stimulate expenditures at these local businesses and attractions while raising awareness of the Tennessee Overhill as a tourist destination."
She noted the new website is only one component of a comprehensive strategy to utilize the Internet more effectively. The website will be promoted through paid advertising, search engine optimization, link exchanges, and social media.
The number of people who plan their vacations online increases substantially each month, a trend that presents an opportunity for TOHA to broaden its marketing reach.
Nancy Dalton, TOHA tourism coordinator, said, "This is a very content rich website that is aimed at our niche markets. Cultural tourists will find information about museums, historic sites, art centers, Cherokee heritage, and music venues. Outdoor enthusiasts will be provided with ample information to plan an adventure on land or water. There is information about train excursions, nature, scenic drives, local agriculture products and handmade works of art. There is even a section for motorcyclists, complete with suggested rides and maps."
TOHA's mission is to promote and preserve the natural and cultural resources of McMinn, Monroe, and Polk counties through cultural tourism.

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.

Read an edited transcript of a rare interview with Myanmar's Minister for
Information and Culture U Kyaw Hsan. On the first such meeting between
Myanmar's government and a major Western news organization in years, The
Wall Street Journal sat for three hours with Mr. Kyaw Hsan on Tuesday
morning, in Myanmar's remote government center of Naypyitaw. (More:
Myanmar Calls Its Reforms 'Irreversible')
U Kyaw Hsan: Both the government of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar
and our spokesman team welcome you. We are the spokesman authority team of
the country, of the state. We greet you on behalf of our president. You
are the first international media group that has had a chance to meet with
the government information team.
Wall Street Journal: We have seen a lot of changes in Myanmar the last
nine months -- surprising changes that people did not expect. We've seen
economic reforms, we've seen social, political reforms, we've seen more
dialogue with Aung San Suu Kyi, we've seen more discussions between the
Myanmar government and the United States and Europe, and a lot of people
are wondering, why are these changes happening now? What is the goal of
the Myanmar government? Why are you making these changes now, but not two
years ago, three years ago, five years ago? Why is this happening?
In excerpts from an exclusive interview with The Wall Street Journal, U
Kyaw Hsan, the Information and Culture Minister of Myanmar, talks about
political reforms and Chinese investment in the country.
Mr. Kyaw Hsan: After the turbulence in 1988 [when there was a student
uprising], as you may know, the country was almost on the verge of
disintegration and of course the Tatmadaw, our armed forces, was compelled
to take responsibility for the country then. After that, as soon as we
took over we were resolved we would establish a democratic state, a
democratic society, and since those times we have been trying to build the
basic infrastructure for that. One of the outstanding things we have done
is draw up a state constitution.
The Tatmadaw government during that time was not the government elected by
the people, as you know, and of course because they were the temporary
administrators of the country, during their administration period, none of
the laws in the country were amended, repealed, or any changes made during
that time. During that time only a small amount of certain laws were
repealed or enacted. (...)
Because the government represents the people, the people who elected the
government, it is the duty, the responsibility of the government to
implement the people's desire.
In order to implement the desire of the people, we are now undertaking a
transformation, the establishment of democracy and democratic society,
establishing a market economy, as well as social, economic development for
all. As such, the existing laws that are no longer in conformity with the
current situation are being amended, repealed, and of course new laws will
be enacted. (...) We are able to go through this reform process because
the government is a constitution-based government that is elected by the
people, and we are now officially vested with the authority to do so, and
we are taking that responsibility very seriously. (...)
WSJ: I understand the country is now on a path to democracy, but as you
are well aware, the U.S. and some, at least Western, governments believe
the election was not fair, that it was not a totally free and fair
election, and therefore would not necessarily reflect the will of the
people. How does the government respond to that?
Mr. Kyaw Hsan: The 2010 election was a free and fair election. Many of the
international organizations and NGOs admitted that the 2010 election was
free and fair. [One international NGO leader] hired a private NGO group
and he also put them through training to monitor these elections.
According to the reports from these monitors, they all stated that the
2010 election was free and fair. Although there were certain logistical
weaknesses, the majority of the conduct in the process has been free and
fair. The minor flaws that have been stated by this group did not affect
the actual result of the election, the legitimacy of the election itself.
(Besides), which country in the world does not have difficulty in their
process, flawless elections?
The president has vested power into the Union Election Commission that any
coming and future election will be held free and fair according to the
rules and regulations. We believe in democracy and we are on a path to
democracy and of course the essence of democracy is being free and fair,
and we are following that to the letter.
But, as you know, democracy is a very wide process, and of course it has
to be practiced in disciplined manner. Only then will we be successful.
WSJ: Even if the election itself was free and fair, some people have
expressed concerns the constitution was not free and fair, that it
reserved a certain percentage of seats for the military or had other
impediments or had other things to prevent the free participation of
Mr. Kyaw Hsan: The Constitution of the country and, of course, the
democratization process have to be based on the reality, the current
situation of the country. Ignoring the existing reality of the country and
basing it only on the desires, the result could be detrimental rather than
a successful result, and as an example can be seen many examples around
the world. We are implementing the constitution to establish a democratic
state and we have based it on the existing reality of the country. (...)
Let me cite an example. The United States of America got their
independence in 1776. The democracy America exercised during that time...
it can be seen that in that time even the voting process, only the white
people were allowed to vote, and white men were allowed to vote, women
were not allowed and blacks, of course, both black men and black women,
were not allowed to vote. The white men during that time were allowed to
vote based on how educated they were and how much assets they had. It has
taken the U.S. over 300 years until they finally arrived at the democracy
they are finally exercising today. (...)
The constitution that we are exercising today, there are no rules that
cannot be amended or cannot be repealed... As our society matures and the
country develops, we'll have an opportunity to amend whatever we need to
amend according to the constitution.
Regarding the percentage of parliamentary seats that has been allotted to
the Tatmadaw, I would like to explain about that. There are many countries
in the world today with parliaments where there are non-elected
representatives sitting in parliament. I have noticed that there are 32
countries that have parliaments that are represented not by elected
officials. For example, let's look at England, the English who are well
known as the mother of democracy. What I understand is the 500
representatives or so from the British upper house, they are not all
publicly elected representatives, they are elected directly by the Queen,
they are the people who have "sir" or titles. Another example is the Thai
Of course, this is the way of each country trying to implement their
national interest. And we are doing the same: we are trying to implement
our national interest to the best possible opportunity and ways. It
doesn't sound free or fair when the international community mentions that
the Myanmar parliament or constitution is not free and fair, when there
are over 30 countries around the world that are doing the same.
WSJ: How do you think Western governments should respond to what's
happening in Burma this year? All the changes we've discussed, how should
the U.S. respond, how should the U.K. respond? Should they look at
sanctions? Should they look at allowing the IMF to be more active here?
Are there other things they should or should not do?"
Mr. Kyaw Hsan: The sanctions that have been held against Myanmar are based
on one-sided allegations. These sanctions are having adverse effects on
the majority of Myanmar people, their social, economic development. We
believe that these sanctions are not fair or just.
Our politics today are changing both fundamentally and substantively.
Today is the best time and opportunity for the international community to
show their cooperation in the Myanmar reform process. Whether we are
placed under sanctions, or whether the sanctions are removed, to us we are
resolved to go forward in the establishment of our democratic society, the
protection and promotion of human rights, the establishment of market
economy, as well as striving for the development of our country. If we
receive international cooperation during this time, of course we will be
able to move forward much faster in our development process and of course
this will be of interest to both sides.
Sanctions of course being placed will not be productive to both sides at
all, and it will also to a certain amount hinder our reform and our
development process.
We will very much welcome the international financial institutions and
U.N. agencies and groups and NGOs as well as IMF participation in our
economic reform process, as well as our poverty reduction process. It
would be very productive to our reform process if we receive financial
assistance and technical assistances. Today we are discussing with the
IMF, E.U. and Japan on those technical assistances. From this stage on we
hope that our cooperation will be widened.
WSJ: Why is the ASEAN 2014 chairmanship [a role as rotating head of the
10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations] so important to you and
why do you think Myanmar should take that role?
Mr. Kyaw Hsan: Taking the chairmanship of ASEAN is a duty of every member
of ASEAN and this of course is according to taking turns. Myanmar's turn
first arrived in 2006. However, during that time in 2006 we were focusing
on developing the country into a democratic society, our democratic
process was still ongoing then, and we were occupied also with the
development of the country. As such, we were unable to take the
chairmanship at that time, and of course gave the turn to the person who
Today we have a constitution, we have a hluttaw, we have a government, we
have respective judiciary and legislative organizations, and now we are in
a wide process of implementing democracy. That's the reason why we, the
government, and the people of Myanmar, now believe we are now ready to
take the chairmanship.
In 2006, when we turned our chairmanship responsibility over to another
country, it was understood within ASEAN and our successor then that
whenever Myanmar was ready to take the chairmanship, Myanmar could do so.
We are a member of ASEAN, and as such we take seriously our responsibility
as a member of that regional group, and taking the chairmanship is part of
that responsibility and duty that we uphold. (...)
WSJ: I want to come to the topic of human rights in Myanmar. Myanmar has
created a human rights commission and international groups have said they
have had closer cooperation with the Myanmar government on the issue of
human rights, but you also still have reports of human rights violations
particularly in the Kachin [ethnic minority group mainly in northern
Myanmar] communities and also along the Shwe Gas pipeline [a cross-country
project backed by China], associated with that project. Some of those
reports have continued very recently after the creation of the human
rights commission. How do you respond to the groups that say there are
continuing human rights violations in Myanmar?
Mr. Kyaw Hsan: There are a lot of allegations that the Tadmadaw, that the
defense forces are violating human rights, especially regarding the
national races. These accusations about the human rights violations in the
national races areas are not true at all. These are the negative campaigns
by the opposition and other groups that are against the government and the
Tatmadaw, and these are also politicized.
Their aim for these politicizations that they are undertaking is to make
sure that the U.N. forms a commission of inquiry on Myanmar to pressure
the country. Of course this is also to ensure that Myanmar will not get
the ASEAN chairmanship in 2014.
Myanmar's Tatmadaw was born from the people during our independence
period, and it represents the people. Each and every person who joins the
Tatmadaw, from the day that the person joins to the day that they leave
the Tatmadaw for retirement, is taught and trained to serve the people and
the country and the public. There are no intentional human rights
violations by the Tatmadaw.
The Tatmadaw is a disciplined organization that has been administered,
ruled by the laws and rules and regulations. As normal civilians, the
person only has the responsibility to follow civilian law. But as members
of the Tatmadaw, they have more than that, they have to follow the
Tatmadaw code of conduct and the military act as well as the civilian
If a member of the Tatmadaw violates any law or commits any crime, action
will be taken against him...
The Tatmadaw, the military, was formed by a lot of people, coming from all
strata of life, and of course there are chances that there may be some
violations of law from time to time. Of course as I explained, these are
investigated, and of course the action, severe action, heavy penalty
action, has been taken against those people if they are found guilty, and
of course there is a detailed record of each of these cases that is
As you are aware, this is not a Myanmar issue. The U.S. armed forces and
English armed forces they have similar problems, issues, from time to
Today some people from the outside world, without any serious
consideration or scrutiny of what the true situation is, they are
accepting the allegations and disinformation spread against the government
and the Tatmadaw.
Actually, the people who are violating human rights are the insurgents.
However, these human rights violations and terrorist acts by these
insurgents has been ignored, intentionally ignored by the international
community and somehow being silent about it is like covering up what is
actually happening.
Today an armed group -- the Kachin Independence Army -- in the Kachin
states is violating a lot of human rights of the people. They are also
carrying out terrorist acts. I will tell you some statistics on what this
KIA have done in their human rights violations, their terrorist acts that
took place within five months from June 14 to November 13 [this year.]
They destroyed the bridges in the region with mines, and these all
together are 105 bridges. They also destroyed the road with mines and
bombs nine times. They also destroyed railroads 18 times. They also
destroyed and bombed the private and government owned vehicles three
times. They also destroyed public and government buildings 13 times. They
waged armed attacks against villages and towns, 31 times. They burned down
villages, six times. They forcibly recruit young people into their
insurgent army, 292 times. During those five months, there were 33 deaths
of civilians. There were 75 civilian wounded. [Note: The Kachin
Independence Army was unreachable for comment.](...)
As a government we have a responsibility to fix those roads and of course
ensure the security of those roads. We informed the KIA that has been
stationed in those areas to move back because we need to fix those roads
and bridges. Because they refused to withdrawal their troops from those
areas, the government, the Tatmadaw is compelled to go in. The fighting
that has taken place has been to clear those roads, there is no other
reason for the fighting that has taken place in those areas.
If the government, the Tatmadaw wishes to take over their headquarters,
the government could do so, even within one day. However we guarantee that
we will not attack their headquarters. The fighting that took place is
because we need to clear those roads, and those are for the public
Because of the fighting in those areas, some people from those areas have
moved to a peaceful area... The government supported them by providing
food, basic food, rice, oil salt, basics that they need. We also support
them with monetary support.
Our history of insurgency is very long and very complex. The fundamental
problem arises from our colonial imperialists. I say this not because I
have hatred for this colonialism or imperialism. This is just a matter of
explaining what happened, a true situation, what happened in history. We
are still facing and trying to resolve the insurgencies that we have had
since that time. We are trying very hard, we are trying to find the best
ways and means of getting that process of working with these insurgents
and of course it has been undertaken by our president.
We today are able to establish basic peace agreements with armed groups
from eastern and northeastern areas... Regarding our peace talks with the
KIA... we have tried our best to give as much concessions as possible.
However from the KIA side their demands are not consistent. They have been
making many changing demands within that time, and as such our peace
process has been prolonged to this current time.
We have an independent body, the national Human Rights Commission, and of
course the commission could accept the complaints and widely implement the
human rights promotion and protection of the people... The government is
also undertaking many training programs, many educational programs, widely
in the country to educate the people and the public and other personnel
regarding the protection of human rights.
Today, our media, like your international media, are given the freedom as
well as the responsibility to write whatever they think is for the
interest of the public. This also includes writing about the violations
they think they've found regarding the government and individuals or any
unfair and unjust situation that that they think the public should know.
These kinds of writings, the critical writing that appears in the media,
the concerned ministry, or authority regarding that complaint has to take
it up immediately. (...)
[The gas pipeline] development projects are being carried out with the
participation of the concerned company officials, the government, and the
local people, and wide consideration is being given to all areas. For
example, if in implementing a development project, if a need arises for
moving a certain village from a certain area, our first priority is to
make sure we find an alternative where we don't have to move the village.
(...) If a situation arises that a village should be moved, what we have
to do in collaboration with the company is make sure the company takes
responsibility in building houses, roads, clinics, schools in the new
areas before the village is actually moved in. We also give careful
consideration to their day-to-day livelihood and of course our support
also goes to that area. If this movement also involves the movement of
cultivation land, we ensure that it will be carried out according to law
and of course these people are fully compensated.
We've found that the local people from the area got more work opportunity
from the work projects and of course their livelihoods have been enhanced.
The accusations regarding these projects, the human rights that you
mentioned, they are not based on the true situation, they are more like a
negative campaign against the government. (...)
These projects also bring in the development of roads and transport in
those areas and of course are also conducive to the education, health and
social development of these people... Of course, it is human nature, there
are bound to be one or two persons that is discontented with whatever is
happening in the area...
Though there are people who hold a grudge against the government, and
these people tend to turn what is right into wrong, they also exaggerate
the true situation into their agenda. There are always pros and cons to
every situation and every project and every undertaking that we undertake.
WSJ: You talk about people holding a grudge against the government. If
this government reflects the will of the people and it's democratically
elected, why are there so many people who have a grudge against this
Mr. Kyaw Hsan: As you know, the Obama administration was also elected by
the people. There are also people who are not satisfied or have a grudge
against the Obama administration.
WSJ: Are there any political prisoners in Myanmar, and if so, how many are
there, and will they be released? When will they be released?
Mr. Kyaw Hsan: Today people who are serving the prison terms in our jails
are people who broke the existing laws of the country. Out of those
prisoners, there may be people who are politicians.
After the new government has taken over responsibility, it has granted
amnesties twice. The first time there were about 14,000 people and the
second time it was over 6,000. Today we are moving some prisoners that are
in far-away areas into much more accessible prisons in order for them to
have closer contact with their families.
WSJ: So will there be another prisoner release?
Mr. Kyaw Hsan: I have answered that.
WSJ: What I think you said is that the president has the power to do this,
but it wasn't clear whether he intends to do this.
Mr. Kyaw Hsan: Of course, the president exercises his power according to
the powers that are vested in him by the constitution and he will do that
after giving due consideration to the situation... It is within the
president's power and the president is the one who is going to decide. I
understand that being a reporter and news media person you manage to try
to get whatever answer you want [laughs], of course I think I have
answered like this.
WSJ: Are there any other economic reforms that you're considering at this
stage that people should expect? Will there be a unification of the
currency, the foreign exchange rates? Will there be an expanded stock
exchange in Myanmar? Are there other reforms or changes that the business
community should look for?
Mr. Kyaw Hsan: Regarding the exchange rate and implementing the market
economy and trying to attract foreign investment, we know that we need to
have it reformed. It is still an ongoing discussion that we are having
with the IMF, Japan and the E.U. This is very important and sensitive work
or Myanmar and as such we are comprehensively studying and discussing
regarding this...
We will ensure that regarding foreign investment, we will make sure there
are equal opportunities for everybody by leveling the playing field. We
are in process of reforming the investment law in order to attract more
For the time being we have enacted a new investment law, we have issued
announcements for the investment community to do investment in Myanmar.
Citing one of the examples, the Ministry of Finance and Revenue issued
announcement 39/2011 this year and the announcement concerns the
relaxation of land leased to the business community to attract investment
from them. This announcement 39/2011 allowed the investor to lease land
from the private sector. Formerly, the leasing of land for business was
allowed only from government owned land. Now they can go into private land
The Ministry of Finance and Revenue also issued announcement 50/2011.
Formerly, the investing company that was working here, they had the right
to exchange one dollar for 6 kyats [the local currency]. Now, due to the
announcement 50/2011, these companies now they have the right to exchange
the dollar at the daily market rate [which is closer to about 850 kyat per
Formerly, when the companies would remit their annual profits back to
their countries, there were restrictions on the amount that could remit.
Now the restriction, the upper limit has been hiked higher for them to
remit more.
There are many opportunities offered to the foreign companies, especially
in special economic zones ... We have enacted a special economic zone law
for this purpose.
WSJ: Despite these changes there are still many investors who complain and
say that many of the businesses are still controlled by the government or
the military, or they say that some of the businesses go to friends or
large companies, they go to [prominent local businessmen] Tay Za or Zaw
Zaw or [prominent local company] Myanmar Max, and that there is not a
level playing field, to use your own language. They don't feel like they
have equal opportunity, and that there is also a problem with corruption.
Despite the laws that you're describing, they still have those concerns,
so how will you address those concerns?
Mr. Kyaw Hsan: When we first established our country, we had almost
nothing. During that time, because of the sanctions placed by the U.S., we
did not get any international cooperation or aid or grants or loans. Not
only that, because of the sanctions, 162 companies that were already
invested and working in Myanmar had to withdraw... During that time, we
didn't have investment, we didn't have expertise, we didn't have much more
resources. During that time, we didn't have many entrepreneurs in the
business world, either.
As such, when we started to strive for economic development, we had to
depend on our citizens, the ones we had confidence in, the ones we
believed had the ability to take on the job. This is the reason why some
accuse that there's no equal business opportunity. (...)
[ Today we are] undertaking necessary action to tackle corruption. The
very first and best way that we see that we have as a priority is to
establish a clean government as well as good governance. Based on that
principle we are striving to achieve that. Conducting buying and selling
of national assets, of the country's assets, whatever process that we
undertake, we will ensure that it is done in an open tender system to
ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity, to get rid of the
corruption. (...)
WSJ: You said you've been selling some assets, but there is still the
complaint that those assets are often sold to powerful businessmen here,
and that others are not allowed to bid for them. Is that fair to say, is
that correct?
Mr. Kyaw Hsan: Of course with this accusation, like I said, we are not
free from criticism, and although we are trying to do [things] in the
right and correct way, there is always criticism from some discontented
persons and peoples, and other organizations around the world of course
receive such criticism.
WSJ: I wanted to ask you about upcoming by-elections. The NLD [Myanmar's
main opposition group] is meeting later this week to talk about whether
they should register to participate after boycotting the 2010 election.
Several questions: Do they think they will register? Will you welcome
that? And why is it important to have their involvement in the next
elections? And also, when will the next elections be?
Mr. Kyaw Hsan: Regarding the election matters, the responsibility has been
given to the Union Election Commission. According to the statistics from
the Union election Commission, there are six vacant seats in the upper
hluttaw and for the lower hluttaw, there are 40 vacancies. Of the 46
vacancies it can be said that compared to the combined representative
seats in two hluttaws - 664 - this is a very small amount of
representatives. However small the vacancies of the next by election will
be, the elections represent the desire of the people, it reflects the
people's desires, and as such in the implementation of the democratic
process, it's a very, very important process.
In order for certain candidates who have been unable to contest in 2010
election to take part in this upcoming election, the hluttaws have enacted
an amendment law to the election law for this purpose.
As a government we welcome participation of each and every person in the
establishment of our new country... However, whether to participate in
this upcoming by-election, the decision depends on the individual person
and party concerned.
WSJ: Do you think that the NLD will register? Also, there is a rumor that
Aung San Suu Kyi herself might take a position in the government or be
offered a post, perhaps, not even an elected post. Is that also under
Mr. Kyaw Hsan: On our part we welcome all participation, and if the NLD
decides to register and become one of the parties, they are very much
You have been in Myanmar for two days and you may have had the opportunity
to visit maybe one or two places. But if you had stayed longer and visited
a lot more places, you will have heard a lot of rumors from one time to
another, there are so many rumors running around. I am sure the situation
is similar in your country also. It will be very difficult to follow up
every rumor that we've heard, we would not be able to do our job correctly
at all.
WSJ: What is the state of the relationship with China right now? There was
obviously a lot of speculation after the [Myitsone Chinese-backed
hydroelectric] dam project was suspended, there was speculation that
perhaps the relationship was not going well or perhaps that Myanmar was
trying to send to China a signal that it didn't want to become in essence
a client state -- some people would describe it that way. Can you describe
what the relationship is like with China? Has it gotten worse since the
dam, has it gotten better, and how important is that relationship between
China and Myanmar?
Mr. Kyaw Hsan: The relationship with China started a long, long time ago,
since the very beginning of China in 1949, and that relationship is 60
years old now. At the beginning we had a regular relationship with China,
and of course that relationship has been enhanced over the years.... Now
currently we are able to promote our relationship into a strategic
partnership relationship...
Any difficulty that we have between our two countries throughout these
years, we have been able to resolve based on a friendly relationship,
based on mutual respect and mutual understanding.
Today we have a strategic partnership in many areas - there is the
potential to expand as well as to enhance the cooperation and strategic
partnership. The river junction dam project is one of such relationships.
Suspension of the project has been done as a responsible government taking
heed of the public call and the public concerns... Myanmar and China are
understanding that we will try to resolve and move forward based on
friendly relations, cooperation and coordination. China very much
understands the suspension of the project that the government has
This does not affect the strategic partnership between our two countries.
WSJ: If you talk to the average citizen in Myanmar, there are many people
who say they don't like the business relationships with China,
particularly in places like Mandalay [where many Chinese investors are
based]. Is that a source of concern for this government that there are so
many people here who worry about China?
Mr. Kyaw Hsan: When numerous projects have been undertaken in a country,
based on the numbers of projects, there are bound to be certain issues
arising from it.
You talked about Chinese companies working in Myanmar. Let's say if it's
not China, let's say another country comes and is working in Myanmar,
there's bound to be the same sort of criticism coming, not just for China,
but for another country also.
When we are trying to develop a country, striving for economic
development, we invited every country to come and invest. Because of the
U.S. sanctions, only Chinese companies, the majority of them are Chinese
companies that have come in to the country do investment. When we are
striving for development, we cannot be choosers; we have accepted what is
best for the country.
Other U.S. companies, English companies, and other companies could come
and compete with the Chinese companies.
WSJ: The last area of discussion is about the sustainability of the
reforms we've seen. Some of the people we talk to say they are worried
that things are going too quickly, that so-called 'hard-liners' will push
back, or there could even be a military coup or something. Can you respond
to that and tell us whether those are risks? Are there divisions within
the government that are pushing one way or another, and is all of this
Mr. Kyaw Hsan: The reforms have been carried out not by one individual
person or one group of persons. These are the systematic processes that
have been done to establish institutional change based on the
constitution. You can see the concrete foundation of these changes. In a
nutshell, our reforms, our reform processes are not the superficial reform
processes that people are saying.
We have no intention to retract our reform process unless of course there
is some sort of hindrance or blockage or difficulty coming from many
different areas.WSJ:
WSJ: Such as what?
Mr. Kyaw Hsan: We don't have any particular hindrance at this particular
moment, but even if we had it, we intend to go forward, it's an
irreversible reforms process. (...)
Even our consultations in the government, in the cabinet itself, we have
different opinions, and each and every one of us has the right to express
those opinions and discuss with one another. Members of the cabinet, these
members for the intention of bringing the best results to the people and
the country, they discuss their opinions and their views quite freely and
The ultimate decision of the president always brings in to consideration
these differences of opinion and views from the cabinet. Once the decision
is made by the president, all of the members of the government follow
through in unity.
I can say that the rumors that within the government, that within the
cabinet there are different groups, that there is a conflict between
reformers and hard-liners, is not true at all, there are only differences
of opinion and views that they express to each other, and course they work
through it together.
These accusations I think have been directed to split up the government,
to breed misunderstanding within the working of the government, and of
course this is very much against the essence of democracy. (...)
WSJ: I have to ask, because everyone asks this question outside of
Myanmar: What role does Gen. Than Shwe [the country's former strongman,
who appeared to retire earlier this year] play in this government?
Mr. Kyaw Hsan: Senior General is sitting in his house, enjoying his time.
WSJ: Fully retired, no involvement whatsoever?
Mr. Kyaw Hsan: I've heard that he's in his house, doing a lot of reading,
and enjoying a peaceful time.

(We asked Mike Ditka what it means to be the coach of the Chicago Bears. Here's what he said.)
It's the best job in the NFL, but I'm prejudiced. I'm also being very honest. It's a great a job. If you get the opportunity, you have to have the people and put the right people in place.
I can actually say the job was fun. I had fun for a long time. Maybe at the end, it wasn't so much fun, but that's OK. Some of that I brought on, some of it was we just weren't the same football team anymore.
The opportunity that Marc Trestman has is as good as anything in football. Really, it's as good as any job in sports, I'll be honest. Maybe it's like managing the New York Yankees. It's pretty good.
Every team is important to the city, but nobody embraces their team more than Chicago embraces the Bears. I don't think they do it in New York, Houston, Miami or anywhere else the way Chicago loves the Bears.
Chicago is synonymous with pro football because of George S. Halas. He is one of the founders of the league. He built that team a certain way. They had a certain kind of football team in the 1930s and '40s. We won a championship in '63, when the Packers were a really good football team. Then we won one in '85. That's a long time, 22 years.
When Mr. Halas offered me the job, I would have taken the Bears job for nothing. I remember clear as day sitting at the kitchen table in Mr. Halas' apartment talking. He said, "We are going to do this, this and this." And I said, "Fine." I just wanted the opportunity to coach the Bears. If you're going to sit there and worry about what you're making, you're crazy. Does it become a lucrative job? Yeah, it can be, but that wasn't the point. The point was the opportunity to coach in a city like Chicago, to coach the Bears, that's all I wanted. I could have squandered it, but we had enough success, so it became a pretty good job.
I've coached in other places. My heart wasn't in New Orleans. It wasn't even the same.
The losing is no fun. You don't like to read the articles or hear what people are saying when things aren't going the right way. Believe me, because I went through that. It's no fun because you have great pride in that organization. And being a Chicago Bear, things don't go right, it's no fun at all. But when things go right ... they are the best fans in the world.
It has been a marvelous ride. There are ups and downs, but I have no regrets. I dwell on the moments of joy and pleasure. The fun part of it was watching those guys go out there and have fuI still feel like I'm on top of the world in this city. It has been a hell of a run. It's gratifying when they talk about the championship team, but I would like to see them win another championship. It's time to pass the baton. It has been a long time — '85 is a long way off. It's time to get another one.

Driver Training
Before even putting 1hp extra on an STi one, should seriously consider the above items. They will help you to become a far faster and safer driver w/o even cranking up the power. This is how I run laps around STis, EVOs, etc at the track with my 05 LGT WAGON.
If you want specifics, I can get into details of what should be done in the above areas.

paisan Posts: 21,181ya i got some exterior pics but i need some help with the fuel injectors cuz i dont wanna go to big. 300s enough but i dont wanna lose to a neon lol
If you are slower than an SRT4 with a stock STi, you seriously should look into some driving lessons on track at an Auto-x or HPDE in your area.

We now bring you part two of our e-mail conversation with Al of Al's Ramblings for The Miller Park Drunk E-Mail Show. Part two is a bit longer than part 1 as we get into Rickie Weeks, Mike Cameron, post-2009, potential trades, JJ Hardy, Manny Parra and the future of the team. We started to hit a groove towards the end there and we're happy with the results. This is probably the most actual analysis you'll ever see us do, so enjoy it while you can.
MPD: Bill Hall is a great example of casual fans not thinking things through. Bill Hall was beloved for hitting those 35 home runs, then was considered an overpaid let down (both with the bat and the glove) as a center fielder. Last season he was routinely booed, the fans wanted Branyan and his numbers didn't do much to prove anyone wrong. Now here we are in 2009 and he's the same player he was last year, but now he should be the starting second baseman. How does that make sense?

Before enrollment or prior to the semester, instructors can be contacted using the information located in the Faculty/Staff Directory. Be aware that some instructors teach part-time for the college and do not have a direct phone line on campus, so email is usually the best way to contact them. 3. It is always possible to contact the Academic Division to request that they have the instructor contact you if needed: http://wwwold.nwacc.edu/academics/ |

With retail sales of fresh-cut apples slice rising and demand from quick-service restaurants growing, processors and marketers of apple slices are bracing for a smaller national apple crop and the expectation of higher prices.
Total U.S. apple output for 2012-13 was forecast at 190 million bushels in a June industry estimate, below the five-year average of 224.5 million bushels. What's more, apple crops in important Midwest and Eastern producing regions — home to several large fresh-cut apple processors — are disproportionately hurt.
"The biggest concern is that higher prices for finished product could slow consumer demand at retail," said Tony Freytag, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Cashmere, Wash.-based sliced apple processor Crunch Pak.
Stresses in the fresh-cut supply pipeline also could boost prices of lower grade and smaller apples this year, as fresh and processing interests compete for available supply in the Northwest, industry sources said.
Foodservice marketers of fresh sliced apple hope to hold on to their hard-won demand, and McDonald's may have the most say if it can keep that demand in place.
While several quick-service restaurants have increased use of fresh-cut apples, the leading foodservice user of apple slices is the fast food giant McDonald's Corp, with 14,000 U.S. restaurants. McDonald's last year announced it was including fresh-cut apple slices in every McDonald's Happy Meal by the first quarter of 2012. Previous to that, fresh-cut apple slice were an option, and the restaurant said only 11% of customers ordered the sliced apples.
Happy Meal servings of fresh-cut apples slices now equal a quarter of a cup, according to the company. Accounting for about 10% of McDonald's sales, about 220 million Happy Meals were sold in the U.S. in 2010, according to a Reuters estimate.
A spokesperson for McDonald's did not immediately respond to a request for information.
Fresh-cut processors use close to 1.5% of the total U.S. apple crop, according to Mark Seetin, Vienna, Va.-based U.S. Apple Association's director of regulatory and industry affairs. The USDA estimates that fresh-cut apple processors used about 3.1 million bushels in 2010-11 and 3.3 million bushels in 2011-12, Seetin said. Value of apples used for fresh-cut slices was more than $26 million in 2011-12, he said.
Shorter crops in Michigan and New York will likely cause some fresh packers and fresh-cut slice processors in those states to look to Washington to fill in their needs, Freytag said.

The field umpiring has been pathetic this game but that just tops it off. Unbelievable.
My boi Kieren Jack doing the business again with some crucial goals tonight. Otherwise a pretty listless effort. Probably lucky they're playing the Suns tonight. Swans have been up a long time, and you can tell.
That is absolute courage by Steven Morris. Love this guy. Probably done his shoulder now and his season looks done, but that just saved us a goal. Those are the kind of hard at it acts that make you a footy player.
Suck on that **** Carlton you ****s.

Richton Park woman awaits double lung transplant
By Susan DeMar Lafferty email@example.com November 14, 2012 5:00PM
Pamela Carpenter, who needs a double lung transplant, sits with some of the oxygen tanks and machines she uses at her home in Richton Park, IL on Friday November 9, 2012. She is trying to raise funds for a double lung transplant. She suffers with pulmonary fibrosis and this is her only chance of surviving. | Matt Marton~Sun-Times Media
How to help
To make a donation in Pamela Carpenter's honor, visit
www.transplants.org and select "find an NFT patient" to find her page. Contributions also can be mailed to NFT Illinois Transplant Fund, 5350 Poplar Avenue, Suite 430, Memphis,TN 38119. Donors should include Pamela Carpenter's name in the subject line.
For more information about Saturday's fundraiser in Richton Park, contact Marice Cobb at (630) 215-3995 or
firstname.lastname@example.com, or Donald Carpenter at (708) 833-7232 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Pamela Carpenter looks forward to the day when she can hike, travel and resume her volunteer and church activities. It's this positive outlook that keeps the Richton Park woman going day after day while she waits for a double lung transplant.
Twenty years ago, Carpenter, 57, was experiencing a constant dry cough, and testing revealed she had pulmonary fibrosis — a disease marked by scarring and hardening of the air sacs in her lungs.
"Any kind of respiratory illness is triple hard on me," she said. Her system grew significantly weaker after a bout of double pneumonia in 2010, and she now totally depends on oxygen tanks to breathe.
"My life has changed so drastically in the past year. I cannot be without these at all," Carpenter said, pointing to her tanks. According to the American Lung Association, there is no cure for pulmonary fibrosis. Her doctors said a lung transplant is critical to her survival.
After an extensive series of tests to qualify for a transplant, she was placed on a waiting list in January. She is No. 2 on the transplant list at the University of Chicago Medical Center. While she waits for a donor, Carpenter is working with the non-profit National Foundation for Transplants to raise the money needed not only for her transplant surgery — estimated to cost $800,000 — but for the follow-up care and anti-rejection medication she will need to take the rest of her life.
With the foundation's help, volunteers are planning Carpenter's third fundraiser this year — "Pam's New Breath of Life"— from 2 to 6 p.m. Saturday at the Richton Park Community Center, 4445 Sauk Trail, Richton Park. The event will include a silent auction, vendors, music, refreshments and giveaways. Equally important as raising money, Carpenter hopes to raise awareness about organ donations and will register new donors at the event.
"You don't know how important (organ donation) is until it happens to you," said her husband, Donald Carpenter. His wife has always been a "giver," he said, so he is confident a donor will be found who can give her a pair of lungs.
Two key factors in finding the appropriate lung donor are the person's height (which relates to lung size) and blood type, Pamela Carpenter said.
The foundation for transplants also helps with any costs related to the operation that are not covered by insurance, including mortgage and utility payments for three months after surgery, she said.
Since it was founded in 1983, the foundation's fundraising campaigns have generated nearly $60 million to help transplant patients, who number more than 2,500 patients annually.
The Carpenters' income is one-fourth of what it used to be. Pamela is not able to work, and Donald doesn't work overtime so he is able to care for his wife.
"I'm just grateful I have a job with insurance," he said.
Despite the 50 feet of tubing she carries around, or the portable oxygen tank that follows her when she steps out of her house, Pamela Carpenter is upbeat and thinking only of the future — and what a healthy pair of lungs will mean.
"If you give in to fear, that's all you will think about," she said. "I keep my mind focused on what I can do when this is over."
She is eager to return to her volunteer work in her community and at her church — Valley Kingdom Ministries International of Oak Forest. Until this year, she cared for her legally blind mother, was a home health care volunteer, and ran a home-based business.
"All that had to stop in February but I'm still here," she said. "I have been so active all my life, but I just can't do it anymore. When I get to having a pity party, I just look at others in difficult situations and realize that it could be so, so, so much worse."
Carpenter, who longs to be active, now finds it a challenge just to get up the 13 stairs to the bedroom of her two-story townhouse.
Donald Carpenter said his wife is able to do "very limited" activities around the house, such as cooking, and has to stay away from crowds — which sometimes keeps her away from church. But she continues to pray every day and is still involved in a weekly prayer group, where she encourages others through prayer.
In their quest to find a donor, the Carpenters are considering placing Pamela on a multiple listing — expanding her search to hospitals across the country. But that would mean relocating for at least a year for the procedure and recovery, and having Donald give up his job, she said.
"By the grace of God, I will be fine," she said.
