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.
Sarkozy tells Obama Netanyahu is a "liar"

PARIS (Reuters) - French President Nicolas Sarkozy branded Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "a liar" in a private conversation with
President Barack Obama that was accidentally broadcast to journalists
during last week's G20 summit in Cannes.
"I cannot bear Netanyahu, he's a liar," Sarkozy told Obama, unaware that
the microphones in their meeting room had been switched on, enabling
reporters in a separate location to listen in to a simultaneous
"You're fed up with him, but I have to deal with him even more often than
you," Obama replied, according to the French interpreter.
The technical gaffe is likely to cause great embarrassment to all three
leaders as they look to work together to intensify international pressure
on Iran over its nuclear ambitions.
The conversation was not initially reported by the small group of
journalists who overheard it because it was considered private and
off-the-record. But the comments have since emerged on French websites and
can be confirmed by Reuters.
White House press secretary Jay Carney declined to comment on the
conversation when asked by reporters traveling with Obama to an event in
Obama's apparent failure to defend Netanyahu is likely to be leapt on by
his Republican foes, who are looking to unseat him in next year's
presidential election and have portrayed him as hostile to Israel,
Washington's closest ally in the region.
Pushing Netanyahu risks alienating Israel's strong base of support among
the U.S. public and in Congress.
Netanyahu's office declined immediate comment.
Obama and Netanyahu have had a rocky relationship as U.S. efforts to
broker a Middle East peace deal have foundered, with the U.S. president
openly criticizing Jewish settlement building in the occupied Palestinian
It was unclear why exactly Sarkozy had criticized Netanyahu. However,
European diplomats have largely blamed Israel for the breakdown in peace
talks and have expressed anger over Netanyahu's approval of large-scale
settlement building.
During their bilateral meeting on November 3, on the sidelines of the
Cannes summit, Obama criticized Sarkozy's surprise decision to vote in
favor of a Palestinian request for membership of the U.N. cultural
heritage agency UNESCO.
"I didn't appreciate your way of presenting things over the Palestinian
membership of UNESCO. It weakened us. You should have consulted us, but
that is now behind us," Obama was quoted as saying.
The October 31 UNESCO vote marked a success for the Palestinians in their
broader thrust for recognition as a sovereign state in the U.N. system --
a unilateral initiative fiercely opposed by Israel and the United States.
As a result of the vote, Washington was compelled to halt its funding for
UNESCO under a 1990s law that prohibits Washington from giving money to
any U.N. body that grants membership to groups that do not have full,
legal statehood.
Obama told Sarkozy that he was worried about the impact if Washington had
to pull funding from other U.N. bodies such as the U.N. Food and
Agriculture Organization and the IAEA nuclear watchdog if the Palestinians
gained membership there.
"You have to pass the message along to the Palestinians that they must
stop this immediately," Obama said.
The day the conversation took place, the Palestinians announced that they
would not seek membership of any other U.N. agency.
Sarkozy confirmed that France would not take any unilateral decisions when
the U.N. Security Council discusses a Palestinian membership request, a
debate expected later this month.
"I am with you on that," Obama replied.

Florida citrus growers ended the season producing fewer oranges and grapefruit and sustained a big loss on tangerines.
In its July 11 final season report, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported all orange production declining 9% from the previous season, and tangerines saw a 22% drop.
This season, total orange production fell from 146.7 million equivalent cartons to 133.4 million cartons, with the late season valencias also seeing a 9% drop from last season's 72.5 million cartons to 68.3 million cartons this year.
Grapefruit production fell 2.2% from the previous year, from 18.8 million equivalent cartons to 18.4 million cartons.
Losses in early fall and honey tangerines dropped tangerine production from 4.3 million equivalent cartons to 3.3 million cartons, according to the USDA.
Compared to the previous month's report, valencias fell 700,000 boxes while grapefruit and tangerine production remain unchanged, the USDA reported.
Though 96% of Florida's oranges are grown for processing, about 60% of its navels, 70% of its tangerines and 40% of its colored grapefruit ship to fresh channels.

Post subject: Dead Monitor
Well, my monitor died the death yesterday. It had been getting flakier for several months, and now it's finally dead - the picture collapsed in on itself and faded out, and nothing seems to be able to make it come back. I'm annoyed; that CRT is only 4 years old, it should last longer than that.
So now I'm in the market for a new monitor. I like being able to change the resolution without nasty jagged artifacts, so my natural inclination is to get another CRT. But those are going out pretty fast now, and my brother tells me that the resizing issue is less serious than it used to be thanks to sub-pixel rendering and more intelligent graphics cards. So I'm considering an LCD.
If I'm going to get an LCD, I want one which:
1) Is widescreen for movie-watching purposes;
2) Has at least one DVI input;
3) Is NOT glossy (those glossy, reflective screens stink);
4) Has a vertical resolution of at least 900px to reduce page-down-ing;
5) Preferably has the capability to rotate to portrait view mode for when I'm reading long documents;
6) Has good brightness and contrast.
7) And a good response time (5ms or less) for when I'm playing games.
What do you think of this one?
It hasn't gotten many customer reviews, but it's got all the features I want and none of the ones I don't want. Another possibility is this one:
It's somewhat larger (22") and somewhat cheaper (by $50), and it's been wildly popular. But I found a detailed review of the unit on Anandtech which indicated it's got lousy vertical viewing angles and the height can't be adjusted, which is likely to be a problem given my desk configuration. So ... maybe not.
Then there's this one:
I'm definitely not getting this one, but I thought I'd mention it 'cause I really like the base. It looks very well designed indeed. Unfortunately, there are three issues with this model - the screen is glossy (YUCK), there's an HDMI input but no DVI input so I'd have to buy an adapter, and at $350 it's awfully pricey. If I were willing to spend that much, I'd be looking at 24" models.
Or maybe I wouldn't. In theory, I'm all in favor of increased resolution. More dots, less eye strain, nicer picture. In practice, I start having usability issues at resolutions greater than 1280x1024, because I'm near-sighted. Everything gets tiny. The text can be adjusted of course, and so can some programs, but in many cases I wind up having to shove my face against the screen and squint real hard to distinguish between "save" and "save as" icons, for instance. If I could scale the ENTIRE interface, then I'd happily buy a giant monitor, crank it up to the very highest resolution, and fiddle with the size of the interface until it worked right for me. But Windows can't do that, I hate the Mac interface, and Linux isn't there yet (neither Gnome nor KDE nor any other window manager that I'm aware of can consistently resize the entire interface).

Of the 3 you've listed, I would have to agree the first one does seem to fit yor criteria nicely (the whole adjusting the screen as you pivot it is a nice touch). My own monitor is a 19" widescreen, a bit light on other features, but it runs at 1440x900 native which I find is about right for my eyes (Im nearsighted as well, though I don't think my condition is as bad).
I would point out that a 22" screen may force you to sit a bit further away from your desk in order to view it comfortably, a problem some friends have had (it depends on the person though).
On a side note, most monitors these days should be listing 5ms or better for response time. If they dont, they need to be pushing some serious features in quality to compensate. With that in mind, your requirement of 5ms should be an automatic given. If it isnt there, unless the price difference is spectacular or they're throwing in a complimentry desktop PC, don't touch it with a ten foot pole.
If it's not on fire, it's a software problem

After ruminating over it, I went for the Samsung (the first one I linked above). Once I've had it for a while I'll report back on whether it's good or not. I sure hope so; but I opted to spring for an extra forty bucks for a one-year full replacement plan in case it turns out to be a lemon.

Well, my new monitor finally arrived. What a trial! I stayed at home all day last Thursday and all day last Friday waiting for their stupid delivery driver to show up, and no one ever came. The UPS package tracking page
that they had attempted delivery, but I wasn't there to take it. HA. I don't know where THEY thought they were, but I was at home at both times they theoretically attempted to deliver it last week, and there were no little UPS sticky notes on my door or anything. I'm convinced that the UPS people screwed up and kept trying to deliver it to the wrong place. I called them up shortly after Friday's supposed delivery attempt to say "WTH?" and they told me they'd have somebody try again later that afternoon. Nobody showed up.
On Monday I lurked outside my apartment building where the UPS driver usually parks and pounced on him when showed up. He said "Hey, yeah, I think somebody said something about that this morning," but he didn't have my package. He called his boss, and she promised to send somebody over around 4 PM, which turned out to be 5:30. I was officially NOT pleased.
But at least I finally have a functional monitor for my main system again! It's shiny, and I'm loving having the ability to rotate it to portrait mode. Check this out:
Look at how much of the forum I can see on a single screen! I'm definitely going to do all my web browsing like this, and switch it back to landscape mode for movies and games. ^_^
So far, I have only three gripes, and they're fairly minor.
1) The colors get washed out pretty thoroughly if I move my head too far to one side or the other when it's in portrait mode. They must have assumed that most people would leave it in the standard orientation, which I guess makes sense.
2) I can't see the buttons for adjusting the brightness etc without looking real hard -- In the photo they're above the blue power light, but you can't actually see them. The labels on them are very subtle, to make them unobtrusive, I guess. I'd rather have them a little more obtrusive and easier to read.
3) The case is glossy. It's already accumulating noticeable finger smudges where I grasp the edge of the monitor to rotate it between portrait and landscape modes. Glossy cases are nice 'n all, but they kind of suggest that we mere mortals with oily fingers are not truly worthy to touch them.
Other than that, so far, so good!

It's more than sideways. It can be
. Here it is in its horizontal configuration:
As you can see, I have enough space to run a reasonably sized web browser and a movie at the same time. It's a widescreen, so I can play widescreen movies at the full size of the screen and they look awesome. Changing orientations is easy. There's a little program that runs in the background. I press CONTROL+SHIFT+0 for the usual horizontal configuration, CONTROL+SHIFT+9 for the vertical configuration, and then I grab the edges of the monitor and twist it.
So far I'm very happy.

What is the shelf life of Edensoy, before and after opening?Before opening, one year from produced date. See package for best if used by date.
Can Edensoy be used in recipes as a substitute for dairy milk?Yes, one to one. To replace dairy buttermilk in recipes, mix 1 Tablespoon of Eden Organic Apple Cider Vinegar or Eden Organic Brown Rice Vinegar with 1 cup of Edensoy Original, Vanilla, or Extra, and let sit for 5 to 7 minutes until it thickens. This can also be used as an egg re-placer in baking. When using Edensoy as a replacement for dairy milk in sauces and gravies, do not bring to a rolling boil. Boiling will cause it to curdle. Simply heat to almost boiling and reduce the flame.
Is Edensoy safe to drink for people who are lactose intolerant?Yes it is, and contains no dairy products.
Does Edensoy or any Eden beverage contain any animal by-products?We do not use any animal by-products in Edensoy or any Eden beverage.
Does Edensoy contain any isoflavones?Yes, it contains naturally occurring isoflavones only from the whole soybean. Please check the 'Detailed Description', by product name, to obtain the amount per serving; the isoflavone content varies with each variety of Edensoy.
Are the soybeans in Edensoy genetically engineered?No. Please see our statement on the Eden GEO Stance.
Where does Eden get the soybeans used to make Edensoy?All soybeans, in fact all Eden beans, are organically grown only on USA family farms.
Do you have a Gluten Free and a Wheat Free soymilk offering?Yes, Edensoy Unsweetened is tested gluten free and wheat free.
Why does Edensoy use aseptic packaging? In making Edensoy we strive to be environmentally responsible. Aseptic cartons deliver food to people with a minimum amount of materials and energy. The cartons are recyclable and their most valuable benefit to the Planet is that they require no refrigeration in transport or storage. To take a food that requires no refrigeration and make it into one that does just for marketing purposes is to Eden environmentally irresponsible.
Are Edensoy cartons recyclable?Yes. The cartons are separated into their individual components and each material is recycled. For a list of cities that recycle aseptic cartons please visit www.recyclecartons.com.
Does Edensoy ever come in contact with aluminum in the aseptic carton lining?No. Edensoy never touches the aluminum that is covered with two layers of Eden selected food grade polyethylene as the food contact surface lining. To achieve shelf stable food without the use of preservatives or refrigeration Edensoy is packed in Tetra Pak® cartons made of over 70 percent paper and an ultra thin layer of aluminum double-coated with polyethylene. Edensoy never comes in contact with the aluminum, and no aluminum or polyethylene has ever been detected in Edensoy beverages. PDF of Edensoy package schematic.
Does the Edensoy carton contain bisphenol-A (BPA)?No. Edensoy cartons are BPA free, made of six separate layers of polyethylene, paper, and aluminum foil. PDF of Edensoy package schematic.
Is the cocoa powder in Edensoy Chocolate produced according to rules of Fair Trade?Yes. It is produced in a 'Fair Trade' socially responsible manner in the Dominican Republic. After it is harvested it is sent to Holland where it is finely milled.
Is the vanilla in Edensoy really pure vanilla extract?Yes. Edensoy is the only soymilk in North America made with 100% 'pure' vanilla extract. We do not use cheaper imitations such as Natural Vanilla Flavor, Natural Vanilla With Other Natural Flavors (WONF), Organic Natural Vanilla Flavor, and Vanillin. See also: Vanilla Notes.

How does one know when they've made it in Connecticut? Is it when their net worth is north of $5 billion? Is it when news of their impending arrival downtown causes workers to roll out the fleece carpet? Is it when the Radio City Christmas Spectacular becomes known as the poor man's version of the holiday light display on their front lawn? Is it when they can finger a horse and no one says anything? None of the above, peasants. One knows they've made it in Connecticut when they can board the Metro North train without having to walk 12 miles to the platform in the morning and the same amount back after getting bombed on the way home at night.
In the Metro-North parking lots along Connecticut's Gold Coast, the haves and the have-nots aren't defined by their clothes, car or even their net worth. Here, it's about whether they have a flimsy green piece of paper visible on their dashboards. A public parking pass in this and other towns along the Long Island Sound has become a precious asset. The waiting list for a Fairfield Parking Authority permit has 4,200 people and stretches past six years. In another town, Rowayton, the annual permit sale is an epic frenzy similar to that surrounding the release of a new iPhone, with residents camping out overnight to ensure they get a $325 pass.
Think it's no big D? Think again. Most people would sell their first born into White slavery for one of these elusive bad boys. Read more »

A friend of mine was complaining about bloating all the time, which prompted me to share some information on enzymes.
Enzymes are the key to a long life! According to the late Dr. Edward Howell, foremost pioneer in the field of enzyme research, touted enzymes as the sparks that make your life sparkle. Enzymes are necessary protein molecules that play a role in every single biochemical activity in the body. The action of enzymes have over hundreds and hundreds of functions, which include digesting food, activating the brain, reducing inflammation, increasing cellular energy and repairing all organs, cells and tissues. Enzymes are catalysts. These shakers and bakers make hundreds of thousands of biochemical reactions in the body happen. Each individual enzyme has a specific function in the body that no other enzyme can fulfill, therefore the body produces a vast number of different enzymes.
Enzymes are generally divided into two groups: digestive and metabolic. Digestive enzymes are secreted in the gastrointestinal tract, breaking down foods. They are referred to as amylase, protease and lipase. Amylase is found in saliva – how many of us gobble our foods without nibbling, chewing well or salivating first? Hence, low amylase. Amylase is also produced in the pancreatic and intestinal juices, helping to break down carbohydrates. Many Americans over-consume coffee, alcohol, sugar and processed carbohydrates which deplete amylase. Different types of amylase break down specific types of sugars. Lactase breaks down lactose (milk sugar), maltase breaks down maltose (malt sugar) and sucrose breaks down sucrose (cane and beet sugar). Proteases are found in the stomach and intestines, as well as the pancreatic juices helping to digest all proteins. Lipase, found in the stomach and pancreatic juices (while also present in fats in foods) aids in breaking down fats.
Metabolic enzymes catalyze numerous chemical reactions within billions of cells, creating energy and detoxification. All organs, cells and tissues are dependent upon metabolic enzymes. They are the worker bees that build the body from the proteins, fats and carbohydrates ingested from your daily diet. Two of the most important metabolic enzymes are superoxide dismutase (SOD) and its best friend, catalase. SOD protects your cells from oxidation while catalase breaks down hydrogen peroxide, a waste product of metabolism, hence liberating precious oxygen for the body to use.
According to studies, most Americans are fairly enzyme deficient by the age of 40. While we can derive enzymes from some foods (i.e. raw) if you are enzyme deficient, it's difficult to break down raw foods, therefore they can be taxing on your system. Many food allergies arise due to depleted enzymes as foods cannot digest efficiently. These molecules leak through the intestines into the bloodstream causing anything from inflammation, gas and bloating to full blown allergic reactions.
Whatever your problem may be, for the best results, look for an enzyme that is proteolitic, which is both digestive and metabolic. Look for amylase, protease and lipase along with either hydrochloric acid (HCL) or papain on the label, and don't forget SOD and catalase. To preserve integrity, keep in a cool place. A high enzyme is enteric coated allowing the enzyme to pass through the stomach acid while being maximally absorbed in the small intestine. I recommend 3 – 6 tablets, 15 minutes before each meal to start. When aches and pains, gas, bloating and constipation subside and energy rises, reduce intake slowly. If you consume excessive alcohol, gluten or sugar then take extra enzymes. The toxins created by your "goodie" choices will move through your GI tract with more efficiency thus experiencing less negative reactions to your body.
For plant-based enzymes I trust TriMedica. Another good product is Inflazyme Forte. My most favored enzyme? Vascuzyme from Ortho Molecular Products.

What an eventful morning at General Conference. From guaranteed appointments being eliminated via the consent calendar to then being asked to reconsider and that being voted down. What an up and down morning. What we do know is this: guaranteed appointments are gone and there are measures in place in an attempt to ensure that abuse does not happen.
Again, I have no problem with eliminating them. I have had this thought since before I was even ordained. My call comes from God, that has been affirmed by the UMC but ultimately if at any point in my ministry that affirmation is deemed no longer valid I have trust that God is still with me on the journey. I will always ask questions and challenge because I care deeply about the UMC and about seeing God's Kingdom advanced. Job security doesn't scare me because I trust God will provide wherever that path may lead.
All that being said, yesterday I wrote a post listing some "unintended consequences" that could come from the elimination of guaranteed appointments in an atmosphere of mistrust and decline. I wanted to write about another unintended consequence that is not meant to say that the elimination is wrong, but rather to make us all aware as we move forward to help address and hopefully build the trust that is so desperately needed if we are to continue in our faithfulness together. I believe the measures put in place along with the elimination of guaranteed appointments will help guard against many of these, but the truth is often perceived reality is more powerful than actually reality. If I perceive a threat (whether it is real or not) I am going to react accordingly. So here is one of the things I believe we are going to have to monitor and address for the health of the entire denomination.
- Pastor's who are struggling will hide those struggles out of fear of its adverse effect on their employment rather than bringing it to the attention of conference leadership so that it can be dealt with in a healthy manner for both the clergy, local church, and conference.
There is already a bunch of mistrust in the system even with the guarantee of appointment. Often clergy who could use help hide that need out of fear of adverse effects on the type of appointment they may get. I am afraid that with the added fear (again perceived not necessarily actually real) of employment security, many clergy will hide those things that could easily be addressed and then later it becomes a bigger issue with much more damage to all parties. It is hard to say we need help even in a system of deep trust, but it is even harder in a system where there is doubt and trust issues.
Ultimately, the issue isn't really about having guaranteed appointments or not having guaranteed appointments but rather it is about trust. How can we as churches, laity, clergy, and conferences help to address the mistrust and doubt we have within the system. How can we encourage one another to continue to speak boldly as God leads and to trust that through it all God is with us? I think it is going to be especially important for clergy to hold one another accountable by building trust and support even in the midst of mistakes and hurt. We will all need to monitor one another to make sure abuse isn't happening at all levels of the church.
But basically the biggest question is this: Can we trust one another and most importantly can we trust God is with us on the journey no matter what?

Love this tunic!
Posted by Moonlight - 5th September 2013
I ordered the black in a size 0 as I am normally a size 6, and the fit is perfect, The material is thick and stretchy and the neck line is just right. Not low at all which is what I was looking for and the length is a few inches above my knee (I am 5ft 3"). I would say it is more of a dress than a tunic on me which is why I ordered the tunic knowing it would be the right length for a dress for me. I loved it so much I ordered the wine as well which is a lovely colour for the autumn/winter. Just cant wait to wear them now! |

On Saturday 31stAugust ITF Scotland hosted the 6thITF Kids Program Instructor Course. 22Participants from Scotland, England, Wales and Sweden took part in this highly anticipated course.
ITF Treasurer and ITF Scotland President GM MacCallum was present to open the course and to welcome the ITF Kids committee and its participants.
The instructors really enjoyed the new developments that the ITF Kids committee have implemented, the simple approach and progressive nature of the course was very well received with many of the instructors quite surprised at how different the course is to any other course they have attended.
This original course has been developed to raise the standard of young children in Taekwon-Do and very much in line with where many ITF instructors want to teach, keeping completely in line with the principles of Taekwon-Do without deviating into games for games sake.
One of the points the instructors where pleased about was that the kids program is not a private business and is run at minimal cost to the instructor helping them to develop their classes and that the kids doboks are available through all ITF Officially approved suppliers and not just through one single source.
This very intense course is constantly being developed and the content of each Kids course adapts as the course continues to grow. The development of the new ITF Kids website is working well with the launch expected during October, this will enable the instructor to access all of the tools they need to run their classes effectively.
The next courses are in Managua - Nicaragua on 9th and 10th November and New York – USA on 16th November.
Very thought provoking from many previous childrens courses I've attended in the past. Fantastic!
Mrs Gillian McIlvaney
The ITF Kids Committee excel at presenting the new Taekwon-Do Kids course. Clear and consise, this course is exceptional value, giving ITF Instructors all of the knowledge and insight they need to teach pre-schoolers and younger children.
Mr Anthony McKenna
The course was delivered very well. The knowledge and experience of the committee is essential and important to the course.
Mr D Lupton

Runs small
The red is a deeper red, not too bright. Nice fabric, lace and nice length. I ordered the P/S wish I got the larger size because it is tight on me. I am 5 foot 6 in and weigh 110 lbs, isn't that a small?? here we go with the size thing again. Will need to wear a nude color strapless or some sort of cami under this.
March 30, 2013
Sexy, comfortable fit
I love this shirt. I was worried and bought it in a M/L in fear that it wouldn't fit my chest. I wish I bought the P/S because the M/L is loose around my waist but it is fine, I don't want to damage it with undue stretch around the chest.
The shirt is very sexy, lightweight and comfortable. I am going to buy it in egret and crimson if possible. I love the material and sexy design. It will go great with jeans or under a blazer.
Perfect sexy wardrobe staple.
March 27, 2013
This top has the perfect stretch
I love this top; it's so versatile, it can be worn dressy and casual. The fit is stretchy enough that it enhances your waistline perfectly.
March 5, 2013

i love this shirt. it fits snug and is not too tight. it defines your upper body. cute to wear with thick leggings or jeans. i purchased the red one for the holiday season but i wouldn't mind the black one as well. gotta love the 3 quarter sleeves!
December 11, 2012

Picture looked better than when I actually got the top. It's tight around the neck area.

MINING CONSULTANT ALFREDO I. RODRIQUEZ 5845 PENTZ ROAD PARADISE, CALIFORNIA 95969 TELEPHONE: 916 877-2417 RECEIVED OCT 12 1971 ENGINEERING GEOLOGY Oct 7, 1971 Mr. Weston Bourret Vice-President Utah Construction & Mining Co. California Street San Francisco, Calif. Dear Wes: Thot you might be interested in the enclosed report by one y the three leading mineral producers in Mexico. The charts and graphs are self-explanatory. The comment on Mexicanization on page 29 is significant. The ASAR Co. Mexicana and Minera Frisco are equal or better in Roadection and exparpion activities. The editorial by Harry Taylor which appeared in our local paper (shipco) is misleading. I know of no large silver-mud investment by Amaumeta in Mexico. The senio quoted suggest that amaemda gave up 51% of a venture in copper. The seranble for iron ore antuneas in Mexico. The Northern Miner quotes the progress in Drilling & Development at Quangmento, of which pure silver. Dr. Grosa of Toverto has 33%. Best Regards Sincerely A Rodriquez October 18, 1971 Mr. Alfredo I. Rodriguez Mining Consultant 5845 Pentz Road Paradise, California 95969 Dear Al: Many thanks for your thoughtfulness in calling my attention to the Penoles annual report. This has proved helpful and we are today writing to the Secretary of the Penoles company with the request that Utah be placed on the regular mailing list to receive future reports. The comments on Mexicanization appear encouraging - at least for the Mexican shareholders. No doubt Henry Taylor must be referring to the Anaconda operation at Cananea, which is of course the largest copper producer in Mexico. Through friends in Mexico City I am contacting the Director of the Chamber of Mines, Mr. Eduardo Gonzalez Guerrier, for information on copper exploration. Under separate cover I am returning Penoles report. Please give me a call the next time you are in San Francisco so that you can meet Hugh Douglas and enjoy visiting at lunch. With kindest regards. Sincerely, Weston Bourret Vice President WB:rjs

JJC culinary students to cook with Food Network star
By Bob Okon email@example.com April 18, 2013 9:22PM
(Left to right) Jake Bernard, Amy Gutierrez, Joe Biskie and Kristyn Chatlosh are seen in the Rialto Square Theatre Thursday, April 18, 2013, in Joliet. The four culinary arts students from Joliet Junior College will be helping Robert Irvine, star of the Food Channel, when he does his show at the Rialto on Saturday. | Matthew Grotto~Sun-Times Media
Updated: May 20, 2013 7:38PM
You don't have to watch more than one episode of "Restaurant: Impossible" to know that Robert Irvine can be very tough on chefs.
How tough?
"It's pretty nerve-racking to see him on TV, and you wonder if that's what he's really like," said Amy Gutierrez, of Joliet. "I hope he doesn't throw something."
Gutierrez gets to find out Saturday.
She and three other students from the Joliet Junior College Culinary Arts program will work with Irvine before his show on Saturday at the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet. One yet to be selected will even go on stage with the celebrity chef of the Food Network.
They will assist Irvine in his culinary preparations for the Rialto.
Just what they'll be doing, the JJC students don't know. But they're ready to do whatever Irvine wants.
"We're just going to follow his lead," said Jake Bernard, of Joliet. "We're all new in our careers. It's a great opportunity to work with someone who knows what they're doing and is a celebrity."
A bit nervous about it, yes, all four students said. But they're more excited than nervous.
"It's not often you get to work with a celebrity chef, especially being so young as we are in our careers," said Krystyn Chatlosh, of Frankfort.
Irvine is the star of "Restaurant: Impossible." The show features Irvine going into restaurants that need help — often lots of it — and Irvine delivering advice in a straight-forward manner not unlike one would imagine Gen. George S. Patton would have done if he had chosen to be a celebrity chef rather than one of the great military leaders of World War II.
Irvine pulls no punches.
The JJC students are ready to stand in without flinching.
"He sets a high standard," said Joe Biskie, of Morris. "It's not an unattainable standard, I don't think."
This is not the first go-around with a celebrity at the Rialto for Biskie or Bernard. They both formerly worked at Thayer's 158 North in downtown Joliet and have brought food to such performers as Cheech and Chong, Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Cosby.
Of course, it's different this time in that their skills will be under the watch of a scrutinizing expert like Irvine. But all four students are also on the JJC Culinary Arts Competition Team, which puts up its skills against culinary arts programs across the country. It's a rugged pursuit that takes up at least 40 hours a week of their time in addition to work and school. So, facing a master like Irvine, no matter how intimidating he may seem on TV, is the kind of thing they live for.
If Irvine does throw something, Gutierrez will be happy to be there and duck.
"I'm really excited to meet Robert Irvine and help him out," she said. "It's not often you get an opportunity like this knocking on your door."
The show begins at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Rialto, located at 102 N. Chicago St. in downtown Joliet. Tickets are still available. For ticket information, call 815-726-6600 or visit www.rialtosquare.com.

Email: Website: http://www.unconditionallovepetrescue.org |
Pets at Our Rescue Group:
Cities, Towns, and/or Counties We Serve:
We are committed to helping abandoned, neglected and abused pets, finding loving homes andeducating the public about responsible pet ownership with a strong emphasis on spaying and neutering. .
We are a virtual shelter, meaning all of our pets are pulled from over crowded shelters and animal control facilities, who due to lack of space and overwhelming volume are forced to euthanize thousands of healthy, adoptable pets each year. We will also accept pets from owners who can no longer care for their pet. When the animal enters our program, they undergo a complete health check from a local vet to make sure the pet is healthy. The pet is treated for any medical needs, is brought up to date on all vaccinations and is spayed or neutered. The pet is then socialized and assessed by our behaviorist. When the animal has been determined healthy and socialized, it is placed for adoption.

Order Information
This lovely cookbook features 60 delicious, easy-fixing recipes from The Saltry Restaurant in Halibut Cove, 30 of Marian Beck's vibrant paintings, and wonderful petite stories accompanying each painting that describe life in Halibut Cove, where the locals fish out the front door, gather their own coal from the beach, and go clamming in the dark of night when winter's minus tides fall.
Marian's favorite recipes: Sable Fish Chowder, Smoked Salmon Yam Yums, Pesto Halibut, Shiitake Potato Cakes, Mom's Rhubarb Custard Pie.
"Halibut Cove, Alaska: There's art in the life, and life in the art. In this lovely book, the Saltry's recipes, the colorful paintings by Marian Tillion Beck, and the descriptions of cove life past and present blend like the finest seafood ingredients into a true feast." ----Nancy Lord, author of Fishcamp and former Alaska Writer Laureate
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Marian believes that her art is inextricably linked with her environment—that the two things can not be separated. She draws inspiration from living in Halibut Cove. Working on fishing boats, riding horses, and island life are all recurrent themes in her paintings. Marian explains art as an expression of the sensuality of life—a catalyst for evoking smells and emotions. She believes that life itself is art, an organic sculpture shifting within the different frames of the artist's perceptions.
Marian Tillion was born in 1953 in Seldovia, Alaska. Her parents, Clem and Diana, had recently settled in Halibut Cove, and Marian was the first child born into the ghost town that remained after the collapse of the herring fishery. Much of her childhood was spent on the water. She started fishing with her father when she was ten—after proving she was strong enough by picking him up. Horses have always been a ruling passion in Marian's life. Her first horse was brought to the island on a barge when she was twelve.
Marian attended college at Cal Poly University in San Luis Obispo, California, earning a degree in animal science. To pay for college she obtained her 100-ton marine license in 1974 and began skippering commercial boats.
While at Cal Poly University, Marian also studied art and later attended the Art Students League in New York City. Further art education included studies in clay with potters Al Tennant, Mark Ervice, and Alex Combs, and classes and workshops in watercolor, silk screen, monotypes, batik, and painting from life.
Marian received her first Juror's Choice Award for an opaque water color accepted into the 1985 juried art show at the Pratt Museum in Homer. Since that first award in 1985 she has received many Juror's Choice Awards and Honorable Mentions, as well as several State and Museum purchase awards. Her first solo exhibition of size was at the Pratt Museum in 1990. Although in recent years Marian has concentrated on painting, she has also created clay sculpture and wearable art, and each year decorates 90 to 100 platters for her restaurant.
When Marian and her husband, Dave Beck, built the Saltry in 1984, it provided another avenue for artistic expression. Marian considers the Saltry a piece of functioning art—smooth against rough, exquisite dining against a rugged backdrop. The building itself is an artistic structure, housing handmade plates, mosaic tables, and creatively presented food.

We are a particularly bike-friendly town here in New Orleans in many ways. The streets are level—no hills! And the city itself is small and compact enough to get around in easily. According to the 2009 United States Census, New Orleans is ranked sixth of cities with populations over 250,000, having the largest percentage of workers using a bicycle to commute to their job. Bicyclists account for 2.47 percent of all the city's commuters.
In the last couple of years, the city has increased bike lanes and promoted bicycling as an environmentally-friendly and economical way to get around. It's part of a national trend—and has anyone been to the gas station lately? Wow, gas prices are high. Before Hurricane Katrina, there existed seven miles of shared lanes, bike lanes, and bike paths throughout the city. Now there's much more—see http://nolacycle.noladata.org for a map of New Orleans bike facilities, highlighting potholes, traffic projects, and everything that might make a difference to somebody on two wheels. Also, the long-awaited Lafitte Corridor project is under way between the French Quarter and Lakeview, transforming a 3.1-mile strip into a stunning public park.

Complex Audio Worship Upgrade, Part 1
Aug 14, 2012 10:51 AM, With Bennett Liles
Editor's note: For your convenience, this transcription of the podcast includes timestamps. If you are listening to the podcast and reading its accompanying transcription, you can use the timestamps to jump to any part of the audio podcast by simply dragging the slider on the podcast to the time indicated in the transcription.
The massive sound upgrade at St. Joseph's Cathedral in Hartford, Conn., involved a hugely complex delay system, remote control, and wireless mic systems. It was a tremendous project with lots going on behind the scenes while the priests just push a few buttons. Steve Minozzi of Monte Brothers Sound Systems is here to give us the details coming up on the SVC Podcast.
SVC: Steve, its good having you here on the SVC Podcast with what has got to be one of the most complex sound system upgrades I've seen in a while. Monte Brothers Sound Systems took on the job and made it all work. Before we get into that though, tell me about Monte Brothers Sound Systems.
Scott Minozzi: Well, basically Monte Brothers specializes in the design, installation, and service of sound systems in houses of worship. We've done many cathedrals—Sacred Heart in Newark; Saint Patrick's in Harrisburg in Beaumont, Texas. So that's our specialty. We do other projects for NYPD headquarters and counter terror division after 9/11, which involves similar technology just applied a little differently but basically 95 percent of our business is houses of worship throughout the country. [Timestamp: 1:31]
St. Joseph's is a huge place and when you say cathedral, the first thing I think of is reverberation. So what's St. Joseph's Cathedral like and how is it acoustically?
The challenge with St. Joseph's Cathedral besides the acoustics,which is present in other cathedrals, is the size of the space like St. Joseph's Cathedral. The seating capacity is 1,750 people. The ceiling is 108ft. high. It's just a big space. Logistically with St. Joseph's Cathedral the features that they wanted in the sound system are unique because we've really expanded the capability of the sound system to do many things over and above dealing with the acoustics, so there were a lot of challenges in this project. [Timestamp: 3:13]
I'm sure that one of the main goals on this would be speech intelligibility in that kind of acoustic environment. How did you approach that?
This is a Roman Catholic Cathedral, so every denomination has different logistical requirements in the worship space. Typically in a Roman Catholic cathedral the celebrant, the priest, the bishop, the archbishop, or the cardinal—depending on which cathedral it is—they will physically be in many areas of the space. For instance, besides the sanctuary where the alter of sacrifice is they will also use the nave or the transepts of a cathedral to, for instance, do the Stations of the Cross during Easter, to meet a body during a funeral at the front entrance to the cathedral, to have the vigil mass outside the front doors of the cathedral on Holy Saturday. So they use this space, and therefore a sound system has to be designed to provide intelligibility, but at the same time it has to provide logistic capability for the multiple wireless microphones to be used anywhere in the space. For instance, if the priest, the bishop, or the archbishop wants to go down the center aisle of the nave and speak from there, which is done quite often. And then if you don't have a system that gives feedback, meaning acoustic feedback, back to the person speaking, if you don't have a system that gives a comfortable level of the person throughout the space they have difficulty with that. For example, if he uses a source system where the speakers are projecting from one source as the person or the priest walks towards the back or the entrance of the cathedral, they're going to distance themselves from the sound source that is amplifying them. In this case that is not a very high comfort level, so we designed for that cathedral what they call a "hybrid sound system," which uses source speakers, which are typically line array devices that have a cylindrical waveform for quite a distance and then we have support speakers distributed down the sides of the cathedral. And then in the side chapels and everywhere else then they're time aligned with digital delay technology so you have directional realism and you reduce the sound of multiple sources from different speakers as you approach the entrance of the cathedral. This enhances intelligibility for the congregation and it also enhances the comfort level for the priest, bishop, or archbishop or cardinal who happens to be walking and standing in the entrance of the cathedral, which is quite a distance from the sanctuary. [Timestamp: 4:33]
