Venezuela has the second highest unemployment rate in Latin America Venezuela was ranked second among the Latin American countries with the highest jobless rate, behind Colombia, but it recorded the decrease in unemployment over the last year, said the International Labor Organization (ILO) in its Labor Outlook 2005. According to ILO, during the first half jobless rate was 13.2 percent, compared to 16.6 percent in the same period last year, a decrease of 3.4 percentage points. In Colombia, unemployment is 15 percent, in Argentina, 12.5 percent; Uruguay, 12,2 percent; Ecuador, 11,1 percent; Brazil, 10,3 percent; Peru, 10,5 percent, Chile, 8,3 percent, and Mexico, 3,9 percent. According to the report, economic recovery in the region helped reduce unemployment rates. It stated, however, that even though Latin America has recorded the highest economic growth in the last 25 years, unemployment is still high, informal economy has a significant quota in employment and social security benefits are still poor. ILO director Juan Somavia said "the task we have ahead to cut unemployment rates is huge, but the region is reacting." Women and youth continue to be the most seriously hit by unemployment. Informal economy in Venezuela amounts to 52.2 percent. |

Nuclear crisis due to explosion of Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant after the biggest earthquake in Japan caused panic to the world community, especially some countries that are geographically close to Japan.
Leakage of nuclear reactors are the most feared impact behind the benefits of nuclear energy for humans. In recorded history there are events in the world's largest nuclear accidents include accidents at Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, American, and last in Fukushima Japan.
Nuclear leakage occurs when a nuclear power plant system or component failure causes the reactor core can not be controlled and cooled so that a protected nuclear fuel containing uranium or plutonium and radioactive fission products begin to heat up and leak. A leak is considered very serious because of the possibility that the containment of the reactor began to fail, releasing radioactive and toxic elements into the atmosphere and environment. From the standpoint of development, a leak can cause severe damage to the reactor, and the possibility of total destruction.
Some nuclear leakage has occurred, from core damage to total destruction of the reactor core. In some cases this requires major repair or closure of nuclear reactors. A nuclear explosion is not the result of nuclear leakage because, by design, geometry and composition of the reactor core does not allow special conditions allowing for a nuclear explosion. However, conditions that cause leakage can cause non-nuclear explosion. For example, some accidents can cause the cooling power of high pressure, causing a steam explosion.
Impact of Radiation Distribution
Radiation is reported to have reached Tokyo, but do not endanger human health. Tokyo Metropolitan Government officials said radiation levels that exceeded the normal limit occurred in Tokyo. Tokyo Government thought it was already at the level that is harmful to human body.
Nuclear power plant is located 250 kilometers northeast of Tokyo. Kyodo News Agency also reported that radiation levels in the city of Maebashi, 100 kilometers north of Tokyo, rose 10-fold above normal limits.
As known, the outgoing radiation from nuclear plants damaged by the tsunami continues to rise dramatically. This forced the Japanese government urged its citizens to stay indoors to avoid exposure to radiation.
Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan declared the radiation had spread from four nuclear power reactors Fukushima Dai-Ichi. Fukushima is the region worst affected by the earthquake and tsunami on Friday, March 11 last. Seems very high radiation levels and there is great risk of radiation spread more widely, "Kan said as quoted by the Associated Press.
In the zone of nuclear power plants really had an increase in radioactivity, on Saturday amounted to 1800 mSv, Monday to 800 mSv, and then rose again to be 1900 mSv in the explosion Tuesday morning. But until now the Japanese government has not expanded the evacuation zone 30 kilometers, "he said.
Health Impacts
This accident has the effect of short-term and long term are harmful to humans. Health impacts, economic, social and psychological can happen to people affected.
Actually the human body defense mechanism to protect themselves from cell damage from radiation and other harmful chemicals. But at a certain amount of radiation can not be tolerated by the body's defense mechanism. Ionization process in the cells of the body because the radiation can damage cells and organs of the body that cause various manifestations.
Severity of the health effects of nuclear radiation depends on several factors. These factors include the number of cumulative radiation exposure, the distance to the source of radiation and duration of exposure to radiation.
High radiation can directly trigger a direct impact moment can be known, while radiation can trigger unconscious long-term effects are usually even more dangerous.
Impact shortly or immediately after exposure to high radiation exposure in the vicinity of nuclear reactors, among others, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache and fever.
Momentary or short-term impact due to high radiation in the vicinity of nuclear reactors, among others, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache and fever.
While the medium-term impact or a few days after exposure are dizziness, eye dizzy. Determine the direction of disorientation or confusion, weakness, fatigue and seemed lethargic, vomiting blood or blood stools, hair loss and baldness, low blood pressure, blood vessel disorders and wounds difficult to heal.
Long-term effects of nuclear radiation is generally in fact triggered by low levels of radiation that is not realized and are not anticipated until the years.
The general public, according to international regulations, it should not be exposed to radiation exceeds the average 1 mSv per year, meanwhile, workers in radiation areas specified must not receive more than 50mSv per year.
Radiation dose is very high, amounting to 100 thousand mSv will kill instantly. While 10 thousand mSv dose may also be killed, but after a few days or weeks, at doses of 3000-4000 mSv, it is likely to survive about 50 percent. These high doses can damage the intestines that causes vomiting and diarrhea or bone marrow damage that weakens the red blood cell production.
Lower doses, eg 2000 mSv rarely cause immediate danger to human life, but symptoms of radiation sickness can be felt as fatigue, vomiting and poor appetite for several days or weeks, sometimes accompanied by hair loss, but do not leave permanent injuries. While the dose of 1000 mSv would cause the symptoms temporarily, but there is no immediate risk to health.
Some health effects due to long-term exposure to nuclear radiation such as cancer, especially thyroid cancer, genetic mutation, premature aging and disorders of the nervous and reproductive systems.
Impact of long-term health problems mainly occur in particular cancer.
The worst nuclear reactor meltdowns in history occurred in Chernobyl, Ukraine in April 1986. Radiation explosion went off and telontar 1500 meters into the air, which makes radiation exposure far into Europe. Besides triggering the evacuation of thousands of citizens from around the scene, the health effects are still felt the victims until many years later such as cancer, cardiovascular disorders and even death. Even today the area is left without inhabitant.
About 60% of children experienced Ukrainian thyroid cancer, 10% of children experiencing mental disorders, many children have a genetic disorder. Sebagia large Ukrainian child is alleged to have abnormal body's defense after the incident. Even some animals have a genetic disorder.
In the year 1990 – 1998, found an increase in thyroid cancer cases as many as 1791 cases in children of Ukraine, who lived in the area around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Experts have linked all these thyroid cancer by the Chernobyl nuclear accident.
Kemeny Commission Report mentions the Three Mile Island accident found no potential cause of cancer or cases that may arise will be very small so it is not possible to detect it. The same conclusion on other potential health problems
When a nuclear reactor has been declared a leak should be managed in line with the scale of the accident according to international standards.
All communities within a certain range should be immediately evacuated from the risk of such exposure. For all those who have been in the area of exposure should be done immediately skrening tests of radiation contamination in their bodies. If there are people who contaminated should be isolated and carried out maintenance and monitoring his health.
All the people in disaster exposure nukklir reactor leak while not yet evacuated should stay indoors and not allowed to turn on the AC to prevent contamination by outside air. Citizens are also forbidden to consume vegetables, fruit-Buan or foodstuffs that have been contaminated with outside air.
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the United Nations Atomic Energy Board of Supervisors, has not issued a specific warning to neighboring countries with Japan about the dangers of radiation, because so far can still be handled properly.

When I think about Jeonbokjuk, the first thought that comes to my mind is that it's very precious! Even though I got frozen abalone to make this video recipe, the taste turned out delicious! I am very satisfied with the taste!
You can replace abalone in this recipe with mussels, clams, shrimp, or even ground beef, but abalone porridge is the king of porridge!
When to make this precious porridge?
- For yourself! You're the most important person in the world!
- For someone you love. They could be your parents, parents-in-law, spouse, girlfriend, boyfriend, or of course your children.
- For someone special in your life who's recovering from an illness.
Haha! Enjoy the recipe and here's the details:
Makes 2-3 servings.
2 small size abalones (1 cup worth), 1 cup of rice, 7 cups of water, 2 tbs sesame oil, 1 ts salt, 1tbs fish sauce, 2 cloves of garlic, 2 green onions, ¼ cup of chopped carrot, and 1 sheet of roasted seaweed.
- Wash 1 cup of rice and soak it in cold water for 2 hours. Drain it through a strainer.
- Clean up the abalones using a brush in cold running water. Chop it up and put it on a plate.
- Chop some carrot (about ¼ cup), 2 green onions, and put it on the plate.
- Mince 2 cloves of garlic and put it on the plate.
- Heat a large pot over medium high heat. Add 2 tbs sesame oil.
- Add the minced garlic, abalone, and chopped carrot to the pot. Stir it for 30 seconds.
- Add the soaked rice to the pot. Keep stirring for a few minutes until the grains of rice look half translucent.
- Pour 7 cups of water into the pot and lower the heat to low heat. Close the lid and cook it for about 30 minutes.*tip: Every now and then open the lid and stir the porridge so the rice doesn't burn on the bottom the pot
- Open the lid of the pot and add 1 tbs fish sauce and 1 ts salt (the amount depends on your taste).
- Roast a sheet of seaweed and put it in a plastic bag. Crush it by rubbing the plastic bag.
- To serve, ladle the porridge into a bowl and sprinkle the crushed roasted seaweed and chopped green onion over top.

Andrew Wiggins & Wayne Selden Put On An Awesome Show In First Action At Kansas
As you probably know by now, Kansas' "Late Night at the Phog" intrasquad scrimmage went down recently, giving us our first taste of their star-studded freshmen class. Andrew Wiggins is drawing all of the hype as a future No. 1 draft pick, but don't forget about 6-5 guard Wayne Selden, either. As he shows here, some of those D-Wade comparisons have merit.
How good will Kansas be?

**Free Article**
Former congressman and Reagan budget director David Stockman recently published a hard hitting and timely book. Stockman is a subscriber to my "Actionables" and kindly sent me an advanced copy of his work, "The Great Deformation" due to be released April 2. His portrayal of the hijacking of the U.S. by a "posse" of corrupt banksters, politicians and their stooges in the media and elsewhere is extraordinary.
I'm sure my readers have noticed the pattern of how these individuals get recycled into various posts and positions of power, from K Street and Wall Street to public office to the banking sector and back again, until they're finally replaced with some new "associate" or "capo" from the same mob-like cesspool. Lone voices that speak up against them are typically muffled, ignored or shuttled aside. The corruptos/posse play the two party system like a fiddle and are still firmly in control.
It's a system of negative selection. I call it the "the sistema," and Stockman calls it "the posse." Although our descriptors, such as these, are different, the way we see the world is so much the same that the book became an emotional read for me. I'm genuinely grateful that someone of influence finally had the fortitude to say what needs to be said. He uses his insight into economics and politics to make a powerful argument. He also provides a tremendous amount of highly informative historical context, which lends further insight into how things could or should be, rather than the revisionist drivel spewed by the sistema as hollow rationales.
Especially terrific about the book is its combination of top-notch scholarship and pointed criticism of the villains, who Stockman explicitly names. He takes off his gloves with these scoundrels, and that's exactly as it should be. While he has a special ire for Henry Paulson and Ben Bernanke (and modern central banking in general), he picks off the rest of the posse gang, too, one by one like a rogue's gallery.
The book aptly illustrates the consequences of a bubble economy. Stockman describes the fall out,the damage, the maladjustments and deformations create by the bubble dujours, and how the posse uses them as a means to exploit and control the capital markets and economy to benefit their kleptocracy. He brilliantly connects the dots as to why the economy is functioning poorly and paints a picture of a future that will only become worse if the remaining wealth and reserves of the nation are continuously plundered by a crony capitalist sistema.
Obviously, I can't recommend this book enough, and am very interested in the public reaction to it. Don't be intimidated by its size — about 700 pages in all. If you're not up for that level of commitment, the must-read sections are: Part I – The Blackberry Panic of 2008; Part IV – The Age of Bubble Finance; and Part V – The End of Free Markets and Democracy. As it is one of my purposes to influence as many people to read the book as possible, there will be a permanent book order tab from Amazon on my blog's home page.

Lone Star State's Economy Rebounding Faster than United States as Whole
As 2011 comes to an end, a variety of economic indicators point to the fact that Texas may be pulling itself up by its bootstraps and, despite a national recession, watching the state economy rebound.
Texas State Comptroller Susan Combs reports Texas unemployment is down and sales tax collections from retail businesses are up. Both point to a state economy whose health is improving even faster than the country as a whole. And looking ahead, innovative government solutions and new revenue sources such as gas production from Eagle Ford Shale could move the state out of the economic downturn even faster.
Earlier this month, Combs distributed $478.3 million in sales tax allocation to cities, counties, transit systems and special districts. Sales tax revenue for November totaled $2.7 billion, up 12.2 percent over the same month last year. But more importantly, the November distribution marked the 20th consecutive month for increases in Texas sales tax revenues.
Along with increased consumer spending, the state also is benefitting from employment gains. The Texas unemployment rate has been at or below the national rate for 58 consecutive months.
Local government subdivisions are dealing with budget shortfalls with innovative ideas aimed at saving money and making government more efficient. To avoid tax increases and cuts in services, some are sharing services – from public safety and 9-1-1 operations to human resources personnel and city/county equipment. Many are exploring bringing private sector entities into the picture to help fund necessary infrastructure and construction projects through public-private partnerships. Still others are looking at ways to cut costs by being more energy efficient, with energy audits, retrofits and installation of more energy-efficient products to trim skyrocketing energy costs. Installation of solar panels and wind turbines to generate their own power has become the norm.
The state and some local governments also will be keeping a close eye on the Eagle Ford Formation, dubbed "Eagle Ford Shale." This rock formation is rich in oil and natural gas and runs approximately 400 miles from along the Texas-Mexico border in South Texas toward East Texas. Some officials estimate oil reserves at 3 billion barrels with an output that could be up to 420,000 barrels a day. Although controversial because of concerns about hydraulic fracturing (fracking) as the means of producing oil and gas from it, the potential of Eagle Ford Shale could be a boon to both the state and to local governments in the areas in which it lies. State and local tax revenues could skyrocket.
DeWitt County already is making money off the formation, as that county is charging an $8,000-per-well fee from drilling companies seeking to tap Eagle Ford Shale inside their county lines.
A University of Texas at San Antonio study suggested that tax revenue tied to the formation may reach $1.65 billion a year by 2020, up from $108.5 million this year.
With the drilling come jobs. And with the jobs come people. And those people earn paychecks and spend their money locally, boosting both the state and local tax receipts. At the local level, that means improvements in transportation infrastructure, water and wastewater, construction of new schools and government facilities and other amenities.
With increased employment and more retail sales at the state level, 2011 will end on a high note for the Texas economy. And with the state and local government entities looking for efficiencies in government and new sources of revenue such as Eagle Ford Shale, it appears that economic uptick will continue into 2012.
Fervent Election Campaign in PCC-USA
Elections of PCC-USA |
Khalid Kazi is President-Elect
Houston, Texas (Staff Report): Pakistan Chamber of Commerce USA (PCC-USA) is a leading association of Pakistani entrepreneurs in USA, with Chapters in Houston, San Diego, and New York. Fifty founding members Advisory Council, under the leadership of Dr. Ashraf Abbasi, established PCC-USA as a premier business organization in Houston, Texas, on August 14th, 1997 to coincide with the Golden Jubilee of Pakistan Independence Day.
This Year 2011 became the first time, when some of the office bearers of PCC-USA got elected after actual voting. In the past, usually all the executive council positions used to be filled with only one nominating person per position; and as such getting elected unopposed.
PCC-USA runs on the basis of President-Elect system, where the president elected in these past December 2011 elections will be President in 2013, while will be called President-Elect in 2012; and Waseem Rahim, who was elected unopposed in December 2010 & was President-Elect for 2011, will be President for 2012. This way President-Elect gets to work side by side with the President (P. J. Khan Swati in 2011) and gets trained by the time his or her time comes to be President.
While talking to the candidates, who had insisted on participating in actual elections, despite being asked by many to withdraw their names, our correspondent learned that their idea to participate in the elections was not to win, but inspiration was to instill new life in this important association of the community. Near them organizations, where there is no culture of actual elections and no tolerance of listening to opposing but sincere ideas, such associations become dormant over a period of time (we have such examples in our own city of Houston). They pointed out that several inactive senior members of the community were seen coming out to vote and participate in this decision making process, plus the paid membership of the association has gone to some sort of records level. The new office bearers that have brought all these people out to vote and made new members, will now need to keep all of them involved with healthy activities and use their strength to develop programs for common business persons of the community & improve trade ties between USA & Pakistan.
According to Rashid Khokhar, Chairman PCC-USA Election Commission (other members being GulFaraz Khan and Zubair Ashraf), elections results were like this:
President-Elect: Khalid Kazi (Won) Vs Zafar Mansuri;
Senior Vice President: Sheikh Muhammad Awais Vs Pervez Iqbal (Won);
Director Finance: Ch. Mahmood Ahmed (Won) Vs Asif Ehsan;
Vice President – Administration: Nargis F. Ahmed (Unopposed);
Vice President – Liaison: Mian Aziz (Unopposed);
Vice President – Marketing: Zaki Mohammed Mirza (Unopposed);
Vice President – Media Relations: Mumtaz Khan (Unopposed);
General Secretary: Abdur Rauf Khan (Unopposed);
Joint Secretary: Iqbal Akhtar (Unopposed)…

The stingrays are a group of rays, cartilaginous fishes related to sharks. They are classified in the suborder Myliobatoidei of the order Myliobatiformes, and consist of eight families: Hexatrygonidae (sixgill stingray), Plesiobatidae (deepwater stingray), Urolophidae (stingarees), Urotrygonidae (round rays), Dasyatidae (whiptail stingrays), Potamotrygonidae (river stingrays), Gymnuridae (butterfly rays), and Myliobatidae (eagle rays).
Most stingrays have one or more barbed stings (modified from dermal denticles) on the tail, which is used exclusively in self-defense. The stinger may reach a length of approximately 35 cm, and its underside has two grooves with venom glands. The stinger is covered with a thin layer of skin, the integumentary sheath, in which the venom is concentrated. A few members of the suborder, such as the manta rays and the porcupine ray, have lost their stings.
Stingrays are common in coastal tropical and subtropical marine waters throughout the world, and also includes species found in warmer temperate oceans such as Dasyatis thetidis, and those found in the deep ocean such as Plesiobatis daviesi. The river stingrays, and a number of whiptail stingrays (such as the Niger stingray), are restricted to fresh water. Most myliobatoids are demersal, but some, such as the pelagic stingray and the eagle rays, are pelagic.
Stingrays do not aggressively attack humans, though stings do normally occur if a ray is accidentally stepped on. To avoid stepping on a stingray in shallow water, the water should be waded through with a shuffle. Alternatively, before wading, stones can be thrown into the water to scare stingrays away. Contact with the stinger causes local trauma (from the cut itself), pain, swelling, muscle cramps from the venom, and later may result in infection from bacteria. The injury is very painful, but seldom life-threatening unless the stinger pierces a vital area. The barb usually breaks off in the wound, and surgery may be required to remove the fragments.

Have you tried manually switching to the Nvidia card from the Nvidia Control Panel to see if that solves the problem?
As far as fullscreen, you have to have the game up and running first, then press alt+enter.

Re: Unable to Join BF3 Servers.
This is what I was trying to fix when I turned off my graphics card by accident lol, I fixed it now.
The problem was that my Intel card was trying to run the game, instead of Nvidia.
So I went to my Nvidia Contorol Panel, View -> Advanced
Then under 3D settings, Choose Managa 3D Settings, Program Settings, then I changed the Preferred Graphics Processor for FireFox, Origin, And Battlefield 3 (bf3) (all from your programs list). I applied those changes and it works for me now, hope it works for you too, good luck!

As today's consumers try to co-exist with nature and adopt a greener lifestyle, some Clevelanders are considering the economic value of living in a log cabin as a way of enjoying a simpler life.
Vernon and Billie Renner, married 54 years, are the latest couple in Cleveland to embark on the transition from modern housing to a log home, which is considered an energy efficient, durable and environmentally friendly alternative to a typical stick frame construction.
Vernon, a 72-year-old Cleveland native, said, "I've always been interested in log cabins and my wife likes the look of them. So we thought we'd try one. We're thinking about selling our house after we move in and see how we like it. It's a little smaller than what we have but it should be easier to clean."
Meigs County residents Dave Hampton, 63, and Timothy Bailey, 63, said they are "staying busy" as the two senior citizens construct their third, most elaborate log cabin in 12 months.
"This one is 16 [feet] wide and 32 long," Bailey said. "It will have an upstairs loft, a storage room, bedroom, front and back doors with a front porch and back porch. It will have central heat and air, plumbing, electricity and whatever else they want. It's going to be a full-time home for them."
Hampton, the self-employed owner of Hampton-Made Log Cabins, said, "This one is twice as big as our other ones. We're putting tongue-and-groove flooring on the upstairs and downstairs floors as well as on the roof. It will all be insulated. This one will have much more details since they're planning on living in it."
The Renners, who have been on their property for 47 year,s said they are aware that living in a log cabin will take some getting use to, but both said they are ready and willing to try.
"We're getting older so we thought we would downsize," Vernon explained. "Besides, we're out here in the country so we thought we'd enjoy the wildlife and being outdoors more. Growing up, my family had a big two-story house. We tore it down when I was about 18 and rebuilt it."
The longtime property homeowner is assisting Hampton and Bailey, while overseeing its design. He said he is excited about working on his first log home and the anticipation of moving in within a few months has him and his wife thrilled. Expectations are to have the Renners in their new home by the holidays, although the cabin will have to pass state-regulated safety inspections. Vernon said he read about Hampton in the Banner and the log cabin he built for Carol Jobe, one of his neighbors.
"We went over there and looked at it," he said. "My wife liked the way it looked so we decided to call Mr. Hampton and see what it would cost to build us one."
Regarding the advantages of log homes, www.ehow.com., said, "A heating and cooling system in a log home can be up to 15 percent more energy efficient than the same system in a similar traditional wood frame home. Log walls are natural sound insulators too. Not only does the mass of the log prevent sound from passing through, but the log walls deflect sound by virtue of the texture created by their rippled contour. Yet another advantage is new tax laws that offer deductions or rebates for log homes. Check with a tax advisor to see how the laws apply."
Vernon, who attended Bradley High School and worked at Hardwick Stove (now Whirlpool) for 46 years before retiring, said, his new log cabin home may have a rustic look outside, but he and his wife will keep many modern appliances inside, including satellite television, if possible. Hampton and Bailey said they have had help from expert roofers when installing the ceiling, but both men describe the grueling work as "good therapy" as well as an enjoyable way of working with their hands to make a living.
"It keeps a man on his toes," Renner said. Hampton said his hope is that this will mark the start of something innovative for the housing market, which has struggled for several years.
"We do have some interest in some others who have been calling," he said. "So far we've been able to keep up with supply and demand."
Bailey, a longtime friend of Hampton's, added, "I enjoy doing things that benefit people and building a home is something everybody needs. I've enjoyed learning how to do it through the years and I plan on doing it forever. It reminds me of the Scripture in Isaiah that says, 'They will build houses and have occupancy, and they will plant vineyards and eat their fruitage. The work of their own hands my chosen ones will use to the full.' I believe that day is coming — but until it does — Dave and I plan on building log cabins for as long as we can to meet the economic needs of the people."
Experts say natural log construction is on the "green' list, in part, because it eliminates many of the toxic materials used in insulating traditional wood frame homes.
Another environmental benefit is that in the future, when the log home is demolished or deconstructed for its component parts, the logs will provide value as a source of quality timber for producing other lumber and wood products, unlike stick frame construction which is often demolished and shipped directly to landfills.

Hi Everyone, I've had my gorgeous lucky bamboo for over 2 years now. It was a good luck present given to me by my boyfriend as I went off to medical school interviews, so it has a lot of sentimental value. Last year one of the stalks started to yellow so I took it out and after some research I figured out I needed to use distilled or purified water. The change in water seemed to do the trick. Then the leaves started to become pale, and I read it needed some fertilizer, so I bought some liquid fertilizer and that helped with the pale leaves. But a couple of weeks ago another one started yellowing. I took it out and tried regrowing it, but that was unsuccessful. Now there's another stalk that has become paler and the top is becoming yellow. Also, some leaves have become yellow or pale on other stalks that seem perfectly fine. Before the yellowing of the stalks and leaves I did notice that the new leaves coming out were coming out yellow, but I trimmed them and they seemed to be fine. I water it once a week, although its been consuming water more rapidly so maybe twice a week and once a week add a couple drops of liquid fertilizer to the water. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I can do to save it? Does it need to be repotted? Am I using too much fertilizer? Thank you |

Place it in diffused sunlight. like room with a window through which sufficient amount of light enters. but remember "not to place it directly in sunlight". Little bit of yellowing is okay as new leaves are coming... |

I keep listening to this song and thinking…. I have got to get kissed. For real. I don't even want to try and figure out how long its been.
16 thoughts on "Pathetic"
IntrigueMe- if its really been that long- then kiss anybody. Anywhere. Drunk or not. Prrferrably drunk if its not a great option. Seriously, break the streak n getting it going again girl. Trust me. :-)
Ps you are NOT pathetic!!!!
Don't even start on "how long has it been since I've been kissed." I guarantee my drought has been longer than yours.
The first time I ever talked to B on Facebook his status was lyrics from this song.
I finished the verse as a comment.This song holds a special place in my heart, as corny as it sounds.
Love it. :)

A pale golden beer with a pronounced hop character
Best Bitter
By using the best quality ingredients and the traditional Yorkshire Square fermenting system, we created a light, clean drinking pint with plenty of bite.
From its humble beginnings we're proud to say that Black Sheep Best Bitter is now one of the best-selling session beers in the country and by far the biggest selling beer we produce.
Although we now produce Best Bitter on a national scale, we still use time-honoured traditional brewing techniques and the highest quality ingredients to create this archetypal Yorkshire bitter which is undoubtedly one of the finest beers of its type.
Fuggles hops against a malty background.
Peppery hop in the mouth with a long, bitter finish.
A classic well-hopped and beautifully balanced beer with a deeply satisfying and refreshing taste that is followed by a distinctively dry and long bitter finish. Best enjoyed in true Black Sheep style, through a rich, creamy head.
Food and Beer Pairing
Best bitter is the perfect accompaniment for lamb and other tender, tasty meats. The bitter flavour of the Fuggle hop lends a peppery characteristic which really complements full flavoured meat.
We use Maris Otter malted barley, the 'Rolls Royce' of malts. Although more expensive, an impressive 9/10 blind taste tests will identify and prefer beers brewed with Maris Otter.
Best Bitter uses a blend of whole hops including Challenger and Progress hops with Fuggles as the main variety which gives the beer its bite and characteristic nose.
We believe it's important to support these classic English hop varieties. We need to encourage young hop farmers to plant these old varieties and there is a danger that the English hop industry will decline without the support of breweries like ours.
We use a touch of wheat which helps deliver the lovely creamy head and lacing down the glass - just what you would expect from a proper Yorkshire beer!
Get some Baa-r Presence.
Best Bitter is also served through our pioneering "Dazzler" hand pump, the first fully illuminated, traditional style pump unit which guarantees every pint is served at the perfect temperature.

Green-Roofed La Llotja Theater Takes Color Cues from the Fruits of Spain
Posted By Yuka Yoneda On January 25, 2011 @ 9:46 am In Architecture,green roof,Solar Power | No Comments
The theater, which is situated between the Seu Vella Mountain and the Segre River, resembles a flat plateau that seems to have sprouted from beneath the ground. Clad in slightly varied colors of stone like a tortoise shell, the building has an organic look that is betrayed only by the bursts of color emanating from within its large glass windows. Inside, the theater [6] boasts 37,500 m2 of space with two main congress halls (the larger one doubles as a theater), a smaller congress hall with 200 seats, a multifunctional space, 9,500 m2 of parking, a public square of 15,325 m2, office space and retail.
La Llotja boasts several sustainable features like a cantilevered shape to provide shade and shelter, PVs, and thermal storage. But its most noticeable green design [7] element is also the most enjoyable – the roof garden. Laced with pergolas supporting a range of roses, jasmine and ivy, the spacious deck and lounge has a view of the old city and the Segre River. In addition to providing a place for Lleida's citizens to hang out, the green roof [5]also keeps the building cool in the summer.
Green roofs like the one on La Llotja reduce the urban heat island effect, insulate interior spaces, and help minimize stormwater runoff.

Wynton Marsalis By Doug Merlino Published October 5, 2007 From The Plantation To The Penitentiary Blue Note
"It ain't about the black/It ain't about the white/They'll both get together/ To make your pockets light," Wynton Marsalis raps on "Where Y'all At?," attacking civil rights leaders for selling out. And no, "raps" is not a typo, though Marsalis labels it "spoken word." For the stalwart jazz traditionalist, this album of political songs is a departure, if an unsuccessful one. Young vocalist Jennifer Sanon sings Marsalis's lyrics—set to the trumpeter's usual swing—on five of the seven songs, taking on topics such as capitalism and thug life ("I ain't your bitch/I ain't your ho," she croons, in one of the stronger couplets.) Instead of recalling What's Going On?, though, Marsalis's lyrics sound like a third-rate Stanley Crouch column. While we can agree there's much wrong in America, vague laments like "hear my cries" are less instructive than the few times here where the band gets to stretch out and blow.

You are invited to Masia One's album release party

INVITE ONLY EVENT | RSVP [email protected]
She's a Warrior…
New York, NY – Oct 18, 2012 Masia One has DJs and producers buzzing these days from the launch of her video Warriors Tongue, chanting down the arrival of the lyrical warriors through the ghettos of the Philippines, face hidden by a black hoody. Immediately dozens of remixes began circulating online with everyone asking where this 5 foot Asian girl with the larger than life voice emerged from? This was followed by the leak of her singles SOLDIER with Talib Kweli and ERRRYBODY featuring Pharrell and The Game. ERRRYBODY hit the radar of Hot 97's Miss Info and every major Hiphop blog and website. This is only the beginning as the artist gets ready for her New York City debut October 18 at Happy Ending Lounge (302 Broome St).
Courted by Grammy winning Aftermath producer Che Vicious (Lauryn Hill, 50 Cent, Kanye West), the two began working on a project together resulting in BOOTLEG CULTURE. The album debuts in America October 18 2012 on San Francisco based electronic label Muti Music and features collaborations with Wu-Tang Clan's The RZA, Uh Huh Her's Camila Grey and former Idle Warship singer Graph Nobel (Black Molly).

"I make this soup all the time and my whole family loves it! It also freezes really well. I often will use basmati if I don't have any brown rice on hand and usually add an 8 ounce package of sliced fresh mushrooms right at the end. And I usually use milk instead of 1/2 and 1/2."

Would it be reasonable for a property manager to identify that the tree in this photo needed serious attention? Does missing bark indicate the tree is rotting on the inside?

Mostly Cloudy

The first in our series of comic book sequels that soars past its predecessor: Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man II." We find our hero, Peter Parker, in a dark place, trying to balance his normal life with his calling as New York's defender against evil. But things get complicated quickly when Parker befriends Doctor Octavius. Alfred Molina kills it as the tragically sympathetic villain with sentient robotic arms, because moral ambiguity is so in right now. "Spider-Man II" serves as the perfect sequel and one of the most fully-realized, comic book-faithful films to date. The film also offers old-school Raimi fans an "Evil Dead" homage in the operating scene, and it breaks the good movie = bad video game rule. "Spider-Man II" is a GameCube/PS2 classic. We can only pray that history repeats itself with Andrew Garfield's spidey sequel. Best Scene: The "you have a train to catch" fight scene, in which Spiderman fights Doc Ock on a runaway train. An incredible fight scene and a loving tribute to New York City.

Object Culture
I occasionally see a septic collection truck in my neighborhood with a big motto painted on the side: "We're Number One at Picking Up Number Two." That's a pretty good one. Artist David Rees' motto is somewhat similar, as he terms himself "The number one #2 pencil sharpener in the world."
In this hilarious and spot-on video, Rees calls out the nonsense of faux hipster craftsmanship by revealing his Artisanal Pencil Sharpening trade (which clueless YouTube commenters apparently think is real!). What do old rap group T-shirts, a leather strop mined from your grandfather's tomb and the criticism of luthiers have to do with sharpening $40 pencils by hand? You'll see:

Spiritual Guidance: Priest changes in build 12984 and Life Grip video
The latest build for the Cataclysm beta was the big news yesterday, thanks to ol' B at MMO-Champion. The news hit sometime in the night while most priests were nestled all snug in their beds, but High Priest Matticus and I were up late drinking chocolate malts and playing wall ball, so we got a head start on the information ... which we promptly used to write about pets and shaman.
Last week, I said I'd be finishing my Cataclysm roundup this weekend, but since there were quite a few changes in this latest beta build (which I'm guessing will affect the release of patch 4.0.1), I think it's better if we discuss the details of the changes before we try to summarize them. There was also a super-exciting (though entirely superficial) change with this patch as well ...
Leap of Faith, also known as "Life Grip," got a brand new animation! Check out the video after the jump.

Finance and accounting concept. Equity represents any of three separate but related values: the money value of a property or of an interest in a property in excess of claims or liens against it; a risk interest or ownership right in property; and the common stock of a corporation. In corporate finance, a basic equation holds that a company's total assets minus total liabilities equals total owners' equity.

Learning your leadership skills from World of Warcraft {WoW}
May 14th 2008 7:53PM The difference between WoW and most other activities you'd stick on a CV is that most other activities take a finite amount of time to get through - not many people manage to play football for fifteen to thirty hours a week for example but WoW is sort of known for taking a lot of time playing, preparing to play or analysing the previous play and as an interviewer myself, I usually have some concerns about their ability to do the job with all that in mind and its too much of a risk once I hear someone mention Illidan.
By all means, mention the raiding but if you're a member of a hardcore progression guild you might want to tone it down.

Andy Shaw is president and chief executive officer of the Better Government Association.
Article Extras
Updated: April 21, 2013 6:46AM
Suburban mayors typically wear two hats at the same time, thanks to the quirks of state law — mayor and liquor commissioner.
The latter title gives them authority over businesses that have liquor licenses in town, including penalizing businesses that violate the local liquor ordinance.
And because this is Illinois, it's no surprise many of these mayors also tap their liquor establishments for campaign cash.
It's perfectly legal but sleazy and a blatant conflict of interest — taking campaign money from places that you directly regulate.
Unfortunately, some mayors don't get it. They wonder why the Better Government Association is concerned about the situation.
So let's look at Bolingbrook for an answer, courtesy of interviews, police reports and documents obtained under Illinois' freedom of information law.
In December 2011, Tailgaters Sports Bar & Grill hires a DJ who brings in two young women to help sell raffle tickets. They're 18 and 19, under the legal drinking age of 21 but are served alcohol anyway, including a concoction that mixes several hard liquors.
The 19-year-old gets drunk and leaves by herself, runs into two male strangers at a nearby gas station, goes home with them and later claims that one of them raped her. The accused says it was consensual sex and no one's been charged, but the case is still technically open.
Fast forward to a hearing in Bolingbrook in February 2012, where Tailgaters admits serving the underage women and agrees to pay a $1,500 fine. Approving the settlement is Mayor Roger Claar, who's the village's liquor commissioner.
Now fast forward to May 2012, when Claar's campaign records a $1,000 donation from Tailgaters, according to state election records.
Hmmm. Three months after adjudicating a serious liquor license violation that may have led to a sexual assault, Claar takes a $1,000 donation from the same bar.
Claar insists that there was no quid pro quo and no connection between the liquor violation case and the donation. The bar, he says, contributes to his political fund every year.
He also calls the $1,500 fine a "pretty stiff penalty," but we can't tell because no fines have been levied since then, and Claar won't provide the BGA with a list of earlier fines he imposed on offending establishments.
But even if he brought the hammer down hard on the bar and campaign cash didn't buy any leniency, Claar's acceptance of contributions from Tailgaters, or any liquor license holder in town, creates a perception problem.
Residents can reasonably ask him: Is your top priority your contributors or your community? And was there favoritism in the Tailgaters case?
The takeaway is clear: Mayors shouldn't accept campaign contributions from those they're overseeing — whether it's contractors, municipal employees or liquor license holders. That's Ethics 101.
In contrast to Bolingbrook and other suburbs, officials in Downers Grove get it. They have an ordinance banning political donations to village officials from those holding or seeking liquor licenses, with stiff penalties for violators.
State legislators can make it easy for Claar and other suburban mayors to avoid these conflicts — real or perceived — by amending the current law to do one of two things:
Take the liquor commissioner's hat off the mayor's head and put it on the head of an appointed town official. Or, like Downers Grove, prohibit campaign contributions to mayors from anyone connected to the liquor establishments they regulate.
Either reform would solve the problem, and that's something we would raise a glass to.

Of course, none of the same rules applied to him. He came and went as he pleased and always seemed to have plenty of cash, although his only job was as the apartment complex's maintenance man. And that job got him out of the apartment at all sorts of strange hours. He'd answer the phone and say he had to go fix some woman's toilet. Later he'd come back, snickering about how the tenant met him in a negligee and just wanted to get in my pants. Of course, he'd swear, he kept his zipper zipped. "He thought he was God's gift to women. But I always trusted him. Me? I couldn't be trusted, even though I was never unfaithful to him."
Then there was the day an envelope arrived at their home, containing a pair of panties and a photograph of a beautiful woman. "He just said, 'I used to get that kind of shit all the time. It doesn't mean anything.' But I'm sitting there thinking, Yeah, but we're married now."
Karen couldn't figure out where Bill got his mean streak or his obsessive jealousy. She'd met his mother, "who was good as gold," she remembers. "A wonderful woman -- beautiful inside and out. She thought of Bill as her golden child; he could do no wrong, and around her, he wouldn't." His mother was the one who'd taught Bill how to act around a lady. To be a gentleman and open doors, send flowers, write poetry.
"Judging the Judge,"
September 30, 1999
After a year on the Jefferson County bench, Brooke Jackson knows it can be a real hot seat.
By Steve Jackson
"Judgment Day,"
May 6, 1999
The state's first death-penalty panel spares the life of Robert Riggan.
But Bill was no longer a gentleman around Karen. When he got angry, he'd slap her with an open hand or shove her roughly. He couldn't trust her, he'd say. But he had a quotation, something he'd read somewhere, that no matter what she had done wrong, however far she had gone down the wrong road, she could turn back. "Turn back," he'd tell her.
Karen knows how all of this sounds. "But I couldn't leave," she says, "not when I was the one who had done wrong. If he was unhappy, then I was the one who was making him unhappy. I had to stay and make things right...It's what you do when you think you really love someone."
Soon after the couple moved to Texas, her mother had told Karen there was something wrong with Bill. "I can't put my finger on it," she'd said. Karen didn't clue her mother in regarding Bill's abuse. But that feeling was so strong that Karen's parents changed their will to make sure Bill would have a tough time getting his hands on their money if he and Karen ever split.
As that first year of marriage passed, even Karen could see that Bill was a natural con artist. Not just in the way he could insinuate himself into any conversation and be whatever someone wanted him to be at the moment. But in little, everyday ways, too. If he was hungry and short of cash, for example, he'd go into a McDonald's, complain that a cheeseburger had been left out of his order and get one free.
Other habits were more worrisome. Those comments Bill made about other women in passing were getting louder, more vehement, and Karen worried that the women might hear. But he wouldn't stop, and if she wasn't careful, the comments would be directed at her as well.
The sex had also changed. When they were dating, their lovemaking was pleasurable and mutually satisfying. Although Bill had always been into experiments, such as body painting and photographs, in Texas he started getting kinkier, more aggressive. "Then it was 'Pain is good' and 'It hurts when it's good,'" she recalls.
It wasn't lovemaking anymore. It was hard, angry -- almost as if she wasn't there, or like it didn't matter who was there. They had sex when he wanted and how he wanted it.
When Bill decided to leave Texas after a year in Houston, that was fine with her. Neither of them liked the weather or the surroundings. They talked about using the money they'd saved, mostly from her job, to travel up and down the East Coast looking for the next place to live.
The adventure appealed to Karen, and so did the idea that the change might help them get their marriage back on track. Maybe if life wasn't so ordinary and stressful, they could recapture the magic. It seemed like Bill wanted a clean start: Before they left Texas, he insisted Karen be rebaptized "to cleanse my soul," she remembers.
They packed up the van and headed out, visiting relatives as they looked for a place to settle down. They stayed in Tennessee several weeks, then went on to New York, Vermont and Virginia. Finally they settled on Antioch, Tennessee, about fifteen minutes from Nashville. For Karen, that was like another dream come true. When she was seventeen, she'd taken a trip down a nearby river; when she returned home, she'd told a friend that someday she'd live in a log cabin in Tennessee.
But the young couple settled into an apartment, not a cabin. And the rules, tests and accusations returned. They'd only been in Antioch a few months when Bill's mother decided to move out of her home and into an apartment. Bill told Karen he had to go back to Texas to help his mother fix up her place to sell. He figured he'd be gone about three weeks.

New member and first post, but not totally new to firearms.
I am going to be getting my CCW here in the next couple months and was out gun shopping the last couple days. I was going to just get a High Point 9m because of price until i handeled it and found out how heavy it was. I went to a local shop and was looking at the selection and the saleman told me to look a the P22, I held it, it felt good but the fact that it is a .22 is a deal breaker. I do not want something heavy but I want something effective. My budget wont allow for me to get a Glock (I had one years ago, wish I never sold it) or any other high priced firearm, $350 is the most I will be able to spend and still have the extra money for the class and sheriffs fee. I have always been a semi auto man but the guy showed me some revolvers and that has opened my horizons, just not sure about 6 bullets to 10 + extra clip. I know I need something that will last for years to come, when I had my Glock, it babied it and kept it clean as can be. I also need something comfortable to carry since I made multiple trips a year out of state (from looking, the places I travel through up to my destination accepts Ohios permit) and want something that wont be a pain to wear on a long car trip.
Some insight from you all would be great. Thanks in advance for your time.

BANGKOK, Thailand -- The streets of Bangkok were mostly quiet Thursday after the government used military force to crush recent demonstrations.
Some protesters were still holding out, however.
About 75 people have been killed and the city's business district has suffered billions of dollars in damage since the protests began 10 weeks ago.
The city's residents are beginning to pick up the pieces.
Bangkok's main commercial district which was the battleground in the final crackdown on the Red Shirt protesters was heavily damaged. Total damages from the political crisis has been estimated at $15 billion.
Restaurant owners share the sentiment of all of the business owners who were affected by the recent violence.
"Very, very hurt. I'm sad," said restaurant owner Pinpattra Premjaisuk.
However, a couple said they support what the government did in trying to restore normalcy in Thailand. Losing their restaurant they said was small compared to the big loss of their country.
"I'm a fighter," owner Narongchai Narapandhu said. "We must move on."
A shopping mall was set ablaze on Wednesday. A tie that still has a price tag attached to it, along with a burnt shirt and its price tag is evidence of looting that occurred during the crackdown. A discarded clapper which the Red Shirt protesters used in their rally lies on the ground among the ruins.
The city and some provinces still remain on red alert because of pockets of aggression from the disgruntled Red Shirt hardliners who also set businesses and other establishments on fire.
Firemen were still trying to contain the fire at the Central World Mall. It will take several months before all of the debris is cleaned up. But certainly, a much longer period of time for the country to heal.

Mental health issues affect roughly 25% of adults in the U.S., so it's likely that at some point you will have a dealership employee who suffers from mental illness. Accommodating mental health can be a delicate matter. Note the following tips to avoid a workplace conflict over mental health:
If the illness hasn't been disclosed, document any odd or poor behavior that may violate the company's workplace violence policy, or if the behavior is affecting performance or operation. Always support your employee's needs, asking open-ended questions in an effort to address any of your concerns.
If the employee does disclose mental illness, make sure to follow policy: keep the information as confidential as possible and follow the obligations under ADA policy to accommodate the employee.

Scottsdale police employees are still on edge two months after the recovery of a stolen list with their personal information — primarily because that list, through a prosecutor's oversight, was handed back to the suspected thief sitting in jail.
"It was an inadvertent mistake," said Bill FitzGerald, spokesman for the Maricopa County Attorney's Office. "Somebody just missed this particular packet of material."
The list containing names, addresses, Social Security numbers and more was left in a case file given to the defense attorney for Vernon Paul Johnson, 45, who is accused of stealing the list a year ago from the night stand in the home of former Police Chief Doug Bartosh.
The defense attorney, in turn, gave a copy to Johnson, who is in Maricopa County's Durango Jail in Phoenix on theft and drug charges.
Johnson and cellmate Henry C. McQuatters, 35, split the list and mailed it to friends, according to an Aug. 19 e-mail to Scottsdale Police Department employees.
The inmates wanted to use the list as "a bargaining tool for their cases," detective Mike Whitcomb wrote in the e-mail.
Police learned Johnson again had the list through a tip.
Outgoing inmate mail is not screened by jailers, Maricopa County sheriff's Lt. J.J. Tuttle said.
Confronted, the inmates revealed where they sent the list in exchange for an assurance they would not be charged for mailing it. Whitcomb agreed.
"We cannot charge the recipients partly due to the deals we made to get the list back, but mostly because there really is nothing to charge them with," he said in the e-mail. "Sadly, Johnson was in legal possession of the list."
Police first learned on June 18 the personal information had been stolen. Chandler police arrested a forgery suspect, Tosha Bohnsack, 24, who had the list, police said.
An investigation revealed Johnson had bartered the employee list to Bohnsack, with an agreement that she would share money and goods scored from it. Johnson is accused of taking the list last year while doing renovation work at Bartosh's home.
Detectives last month recovered the list again. To the best of his knowledge, Whitcomb said, no employees were victimized, even though the list was circulated among criminals and even scanned into a computer by one suspect.
"There is no credible information that anyone still has a copy of our list," he said.
Several credit accounts at retail stores were opened in at least one employee's name, but no transactions were made, Whitcomb said.
Even so, Scottsdale officers and departmental support staff are not relaxing, a spokesman for officers said.
"Nobody is ever going to be relaxed," said Jim Hill, president of the Scottsdale Police Officers Association. "We don't know how long the list was out there. We still look and wonder if it's going to pop up again."
Whitcomb said prosecutor Ron Debrigida worked "furiously" with detectives to correct the oversight that put the list back in Johnson's hands. Debrigida pulled one copy from the thick case file before handing it over to defense attorney Herman Alcantar as part of the discovery process. He did not know another list was in the file, Whitcomb said.
Scottsdale Police Chief Alan Rodbell said the second release of the employee list was unfortunate.
"I think one of the things we are happy about is we have been very upfront and very forthright with all the information with employees," Rodbell said.
Others arrested and charged in connection with the stolen list were Kelly Diane Patrick, 40, who was being held in the county's Estrella Jail in Phoenix on a revoked probation, and Johnson's girlfriend, Barbara Vrieze, 33, who has been released, a jail official said.
Johnson, who faces a minimum of nine years in jail on his charges, is being held on $81,000 bond. McQuatters is being held on $5,000 bond, a jail official said.

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Leo!
Facts about Leo
- Breed: Bengal
- Color: Tiger Striped
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Leo's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, not good with dogs, and not good with cats.
Leo is a Bengal-mix and the most leopard-looking house cat ever spotted. He is about 5-7 y old and has behavior more of a dog.
Other Pets at Cat Network of Stanislaus
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Leo, a Modesto Bengal cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Bengal for sale in Modesto, or seeking a Bengal cat from a breeder in Modesto.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Modesto already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Modesto breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Bengal breeders who help with Bengal rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Modesto paves the way for another one to be saved.
