Declaration of Intent on a Strategic Dialogue between the Government of Australia and the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands
The Government of Australia and the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands ("the Participants"),
acknowledging the shared values and strong cultural, people-to-people and historical links between Australia and the Kingdom of the Netherlands,
valuing the extensive trade and investment relations between Australia and the Netherlands,
recognising our close cooperation in international forums, including the United Nations, and on international initiatives and missions,
confirming that our common interests lie in promoting international peace and security, sustainable economic growth and shared prosperity,
declare as follows:
- The Participants desire to strengthen and deepen their bilateral cooperation and multilateral partnerships on international political, development and security issues. This will include cooperation in the fields of arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation; the fight against transnational crime, including international terrorism, people smuggling and cyber-crime; the promotion of human rights, protection of the environment; international development assistance; and the modernisation of diplomacy. The Participants will continue to enhance their defence dialogue to build on the highly productive defence cooperation established in Afghanistan and further strengthen cooperation between law enforcement authorities.
- The Participants desire to strengthen bilateral trade and investment and to create a commercial environment which promotes business confidence and fosters growth. Potential growth sectors include: natural resources; agriculture, infrastructure, financial services, tourism, education, health care, biotechnology, advanced manufacturing, clean technology and water. At the multilateral level, the Participants will continue to promote policies which support economic growth, employment opportunities, trade liberalisation, and removal of trade distorting policies. The Participants will also continue their close cooperation and consultation on global economic and trade issues, including those on the G20 agenda.
- Recognising the importance of the relationship between Australia and the European Union, the Participants support finalising negotiations for an Australia-EU Framework Agreement which reflects the breadth and constructive nature of the relationship.
- To mark the rich shared cultural heritage, the Participants will jointly support the commemoration in 2016 of the landing of Dirk Hartog on the VOC vessel De Eendracht in Western Australia 400 years ago.
- To these ends, the Participants will seek opportunities for Foreign Ministers to meet annually in their respective capitals or in the margins of international meetings. Such meetings will be supported by regular consultations between senior officials, with the aim of identifying issues warranting ministerial dialogue, as well as coordinating cooperation on issues of mutual interest. These include consultations on foreign policy and international security; global economic and bilateral and multilateral trade and investment issues; development assistance cooperation, including the role of the private sector; and defence and law enforcement cooperation.
- The Participants will review these consultation arrangements in the lead up to 2016, with a view to further developing the breadth of cooperation across the range of shared bilateral and multilateral interests and the institutional arrangements which support this.
Signed in Canberra, on 27 February 2014.

A Welcome from the Rector
Welcome to Dollar Academy, a co-educational day and boarding school for pupils aged from 5 to 18, set in a location of stunning natural beauty between the university cities of Stirling and St Andrews, about 40 minutes north of Edinburgh.
Dollar has an outstanding academic reputation and is firmly rooted in the great strengths of the Scottish educational system, which has always been admired for its breadth and excellence. Pupils from Dollar are highly successful in winning places at top universities, not only in Scotland and other parts of the United Kingdom, but around the world. A truly excellent education, however, is about far more than that. We believe in developing the whole person, aiming to ensure that our pupils leave here with the confidence, enthusiasm, independence, skills and understanding needed to meet successfully the challenges of university and beyond.
We have a large co-curricular programme, and get great joy out of seeing young people surprise themselves by achieving success in activities that they have never tried before. This, together with the positive and friendly atmosphere, helps pupils to develop the self-confidence, social skills and character that can contribute so much to success and happiness in later life.
Dollar boarders play a particularly important role in the life of the school and come from all parts of Britain, as well as overseas. Many former pupils choose to send their children here. The three boarding houses are all beautiful buildings, with excellent modern facilities and committed Houseparents who view the boarders as an extended family. Day pupils travel from a wide range of areas, using an extensive coach network.
There can be few schools as welcoming and friendly as Dollar: perhaps that explains why pupils make friends for life here, and why so many former pupils come back to visit us, and to tell us their latest news.
Dollar is not only about preparation for a future life: it is a great place to be right now!

Papercraft Starry Night: Painting with Paper
I don't remember exactly when I started obsessing about The Starry Night, but needless to say that this is one painting that I find unforgettable, especially when it comes to the swirling wind patterns in the sky. I guess I'm not the only one because one artist decided to recreate tan intricate version of the image using paper as her medium.
Susan Myers uses quilling, a paper filigree art form that involves countless hours of folding and shaping in order to recreate Van Gogh's Starry Night. She used a white colored pencil to draw a template. Then she quilled, cut, rolled and glued thousands of colorful card stock pieces to reimagine the famous painting. Her canvas measures 36″ × 24″.
The Starry Night has been recreated countless of times, but this is the first papercraft recreation I've ever seen. I like it. She recently sold the piece through her Etsy site.

Man!! that is so cool!! i don't think it was dead though!! it looked pretty green to me still. or is it my wishful thinking? **grinn** ~Medo |
That was an annual? Not in my climate. No way, it'd be one foot tall and resemble broccoli, I'm certain of it. |

He grew it in New York state which I thought was interesting as I would have expected it some place with a warmer climate. Still that is wild being an annual. My first thought was maybe I could grow a quick windbreak! |
There is a thread in the veggie forum about this plant. Apparently it is a grain substitute. Somehow you eat it like wheat, though way before it gets this big. It's easy and quick to grow and very nutritious. So I read. Wierd is what I say! |

American Lung Association to EPA: Air Pollution Safeguards Vital to Public Health
American Lung Association in Georgia Hosts Telebriefing in Advance of Atlanta Public Hearing on Toxic Emissions Guidelines
Atlanta, GA (May 23, 2011)—
WHAT: Days before the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) holds a hearing in Atlanta on proposed toxic air pollution safeguards that would require the cleanup of coal- and oil-fired power plants, the American Lung Association, staff and volunteers, will hold a media telebriefing to discuss the health effects associated with air pollution and why it is essential that EPA update standards to reduce pollution and protect health. The telebriefing will preview expected testimony from experts, a mother of a child with asthma, and provide the public health context with which to consider these hearings.
Tuesday, May 24, 2011, 1 p.m. EDT
*Access a recording of the telebriefing here
Janice Nolen, Assistant Vice President, National Policy and Advocacy, American Lung Association
Rebecca Watts Hull, Mothers and Others for Clean Air
Beth Blalock, a Georgia mom who is concerned about her children's health
Anne Mellinger-Birdsong, MD, MPH, a pediatrician and epidemiologist speaking on behalf of American Academy of Pediatrics, Georgia Chapter
For dial-in information, contact Katlyn Carter at firstname.lastname@example.com or 202-478-6176
WHY: A recently released Lung Association report, Toxic Air: The Case for Cleaning Up Coal-fired Power Plants, highlights the range of uncontrolled pollutants from these plants including: toxic metals and metal-like substances such as arsenic and lead; mercury; dioxins; chemicals known or thought to cause cancer, including formaldehyde, and benzene; and acid gases such as hydrogen chloride. The Lung Association strongly supports cleaning up this toxic pollution and firmly opposes any attempts to block or delay this lifesaving cleanup.
For more information on the hearings, happening May 24 & 26 in Chicago, Atlanta and Philadelphia, contact Cosa Bullock, email@example.com; 202-431-8355.

Don't ask how (just way too long of a story) but I have a brand new Kirby Sentria that I got for free. I can't find the vacuum manual - I know it is in the house but we are in a major remodel and it is nowhere to be found. I tried to put it together but I must be missing a step or two. I googled "instruction manual" inside and out but it seems as if you have to pay $20 for the main manual. I hate to do this - it will show up eventually - but I want to use the vacuum now. Does anybody know where I can get the instructions as to how to put it together - that's all - I can figure out the rest. Thanks in advance - Lynn fr CT |

Wow... a Sentria for free! Lucky you! And... Congrats! I don't know where you can go to find the manual, but Kirby's are pretty much all the same. It should be fairly obvious how to insert the handle and twist the bag on... are you having problems attaching the carpet nozzle to the power plant? |

By Brian Liskai
(Attica, OH) Jon Henry's learning curve was quick...as fast as his late model Friday at Attica Raceway Park. The Ada, Ohio driver, who had driven modifieds to nine feature wins this season, took the feature win in only his second night behind the wheel of a late model on Underground Utilities Night.Fremont's Bryan Sebetto destroyed his 305 sprint last weekend. His team worked all week to put together another car, and after a brief period of adjustment, he stormed from 17th starting spot to claim his first win of the year at Attica, avoiding near disaster on the last lap after tangling with a lapped machine.Oak Harbor's Alex Wiechman held off a last corner charge to claim his first career feature win in the dirt trucks by less than a bumper at the checkers.In the 25-lap feature for the Service Drive Solutions UMP Attica Late Models, Henry, piloting the Halcomb racing entry, passed Curtis Diesenroth on lap 14 and then held him off on the last lap for his first career Attica victory."It was a huge adjustment coming from the modifieds to the late models and it showed last week. These things are so much more powerful and it took me awhile to figure out the throttle control," said the 22-year-old Henry beside his Jegs, Professional Drywall, Flexaust, Subway backed late model. "I have to thank Shane and Jennifer Halcombs for giving me this opportunity. This is only my second time at Attica and what a great place and great fans."Sebetto steadily worked his way through the field to pass early leader Stuart Brubaker on the 19th lap and then avoided disaster after making contact with a lapped car on the last lap, sending him off the race track. Sebetto came back on the track just in front of Brubaker and held him off for his 11th career Attica win."I can't say enough about my crew...these guys busted their butts all week to build this car. It is a long wheel base car and I'm not used to those and it showed in the heat. We had motor problems in hot laps and Scott Gressman came down and fixed that and then we through a set-up on this thing and it was a bunch better in the B," said Sebetto beside his R&R Auto Wrecking, Gressman Powersports, Schiets Motorsports, American Auto Sales backed sprinter."On that last lap....DJ (Foos) is a teammate....if he would have taken us out that wouldn't have been good," said Sebetto about the last lap mishap.Wiechman led the first eight laps of the 15-lap truck feature, only to watch Paul Brown Jr. drive by for the lead. However, Brown encountered a flat tire during a yellow on lap 11, handing the lead back to Wiechman. Wiechman then battled side by side with Cory Ward the remaining four laps before taking the win by a bumper at the line."Wow! That was as close as you can get. I saw Cory under me and I just pushed the peddle to the floor. I probably have a dent in the floor board I was pushing so hard," said an excited Wiechman beside his Deco-Crete, Blue Eagle Inn, Trans All, Bad Bob's Barbecue backed truck.
At the drop of the green for the late model main, Michael Stiltner grabbed the early lead with Diesenroth, Ryan Missler, Wayne Maffett Jr. and Jim Fleming in tow. Diesenroth grabbed the top spot on lap six while Stiltner and Missler raced hard for second. Missler would move into the runner-up soot on lap 8, but would spin a lap later, moving Stiltner back into the runner-up position with sixth starting Henry up to third.Diesenroth continued to lead as Maffett moved into second on lap 10. Henry would slide under Maffett on lap 12 and below Diesenroth for the lead on lap 14. Henry could not shake Diesenroth who continued to drive to his outside lap after lap. The action halted on lap 19 when John Bores got upside down. He was okay, but it set up a six lap dash to the finish.Henry would not budge from the bottom as Diesenroth continued to battle him hard utilizing the high side of the fast track. Behind those two, Maffett and 12th starter Dusty Moore battled hard for third. All eyes were on Rusty Schlenk, who had arrived late and had to come from the tail of the B-main an 16th starting spot in the A. By lap 18, he was up to fifth and moved into fourth by lap 23.As Henry and Diesenroth took the white flag, they raced nose to tail down the back stretch. Diesenroth drove his car into turn three hard and to the outside of Henry and the two raced door to door to the checkered flag with Henry taking the win by half a car length. Diesenroth, Moore, Schlenk and Maffett would round out the top five.
Brubaker, who scored his first career Attica win on June 20, grabbed the early lead of the 305 sprint feature from his outside front row starting spot with Coty Runion, Zack Kramer, Cap Henry and Mark Pridemore falling in line. Brubaker built a sizeable lead with Runion comfortably in second while Kramer and Henry battled hard for third. When the yellow flew on lap 12 for a spinning Dustin Dinan, problems developed for the rookie Kramer, whose fuel tank had come loose, sending him from third to the pits.Meanwhile, the crowed were on the edge of their seats watching Sebetto run through the pack slamming against the outside cushion. By lap three he had moved from 17th to 10th and was fourth by lap six. He moved into third on lap 13 and grabbed second from Runion a lap later. While Brubaker used the bottom groove to maintain his lead, Sebetto began to challenge. The pair raced side by side around the track on lap 18 before Sebetto would take the top spot a lap later.Sebetto would stretch his lead while Brubaker ran comfortably in second, Runion, Henry and a closing Shawn Valenti. Valenti, a rookie who had came through the dirt truck ranks, found the high line to his liking as well, as he moved from fifth to third on lap 21.As Sebetto took the white flag, he raced down the back stretch with lapped cars racing all over the track just ahead of him. As he attempted to drive around D.J. Foos, the two touched, sending Sebetto off the track and allowing Brubaker once last shot. Sebetto kept his composure and came back on the track in front of Brubaker entering turn three. Sebetto ducked down to the bottom and cruised to the win. Brubaker, Valenti, rookie Nate Dussel and Runion rounded out the top five.In the 15-lap dirt truck feature, Wiechman and Brown ran side by side the first 10 laps with Wiechman holding the slight advantage at the line. Brown would drive around him for the lad on lap 9, and lead until the yellow appeared on lap 11. That's when Brown lost the air pressure in his right rear tire, sending him pitside and giving the lead back to Weichman.But, Wiechman's worries weren't over, as four-time feature winner Cory Ward had worked his way up from 11th and was challenging Wiechman each lap. As the pair entered the final turns on the last lap they were side by side, with Ward on the bottom and Wiechman against the cushion. They raced door to door to the checkered with Wiechman winning by no more than a bumper. Ward, Dan Henning, Art Ball and Brian Arnold would round out the top five.Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Friday, July 18, as Kear's Speedshop night features the 410 sprints, 305 sprints, Service Drive Solutions UMP Attica Late Models and the dirt trucks. Gates open at 5 pm with racing heating up at 8 pm.For more information log onto www.atticaracewaypark.comAttica Raceway Park (7-11-08)Underground Utilities Night305 Sprints

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK — Will Robinson eyed quietly the handful of moss in his student's palm.
"Is it edible?" asked Eric Hansen, 27.
"I have not tried a bite," Robinson said. "We can be brave."
Robinson and Hansen dabbed their fingertips in the green muck.
"It smells like fish," said Jim Gallup, 28, who had just scraped the moss, dark and dripping, off a nearby lake.
"Don't tell me what's crawling on it," Hansen said.
Together, teacher and students brought a finger to their lips and tasted the slimy goo. After brief eye contact, they shrugged. Gallup tossed what was left into the lake, and the group took off down the trail.
Robinson, 61, helped lead a nine-day summer biology and creative writing class for a handful of Casper College students in Yellowstone National Park earlier this month.
The New York native has taught biology at Casper College since about 1990 and was recently named a Fulbright specialist candidate, making him eligible for grants to travel abroad and present lectures and workshops on his research, which mostly has to do with bees.
It's as if Robinson shares a silent mantra with his students every time he kneels to inspect a plant, poses a leading question or eats moss, which Robinson would call "experimental research."
Explore without hesitation, he tells them, and never stop asking.
Enthralled by nature
Some hikers swivel their heads during a walk. They look at the sky, take in the birds, spot a faraway mountain range.
When Robinson walks, his head is down.
"I'm looking at little things — butterflies, insects, lichens," he said. "I could dig into a rotten log all day and be entertained."
Robinson is the youngest of five children born to a food scientist and housewife in Phelps, N.Y., the sauerkraut capital of the world. As a child, he raised pet moths with his mother.
Robinson tagged along with his dad to a research farm near Cornell University, where his father was a professor.
His resume reads like a grab-bag at a career fair.
Since graduating with a doctorate in the study of honeybees from Cornell in 1980, Robinson was variously a newspaper reporter, oil field roustabout, issues director for the Wyoming Outdoor Council and a United Nations beekeeping consultant in Saudi Arabia and Brazil.
He lives now on a ranch between Glenrock and Douglas on the North Platte River, where he raises bees. He has two sons, 27 and 29, who, like Robinson, play guitar. When Robinson's not working, he's outside.
Teaching the course in Yellowstone, named "The Yellowstone Experience," is a highlight, he said.
In the classroom, some students are shy. But outside, they talk freely. Robinson says whatever comes to his mind while hiking each day with the group.
He doesn't carry his signature clipboard, piled high with notes written in scratchy print. If he hears a question he can't answer, he and the students research it in a field guide or a textbook.
"It shows these young people, the 20-year-olds, that a guy in my position, 60 years old and counting, doesn't have all the answers," Robinson said. "I think that's an important lesson for them."
It's humbling for Robinson, too.
"As long as I've been clamoring through the woods, I still don't have it all figured out," he said.
Busied with bees
Robinson stopped suddenly on the trail to kneel next to a purple flower.
"I just love this," he said. "You can see the anthers sticking way out beyond the petals."
It was mid-morning. Robinson's button-down shirt had made its way out of its tuck inside his pants. A sweat-stained baseball cap was fitted on Robinson's head. "Chang Mai, Thailand," the hat said.
Robinson calls southeast Asia the cradle of honeybee evolution.
He and his wife, Maria Katherman, first saw Thailand in 2009.
They planned to study dwarf honeybees because no one knows how they mate.
He never found them.
He stumbled instead on thousands of migrating giant honeybees creating unusual shelters in and around a mango orchard near a river. Thousands of bees there clung to each other, creating a sort of open-air hive built from their bodies.
In that way, the bees rested for an upcoming long leg of the migration. Some shelters were as tall as Robinson, others the size of a softball.
"That's something hardly anybody's ever seen before," Robinson said. "And nobody's ever seen a spot where these things congregated like this."
These bees liked to dance. Robinson liked to watch.
When preparing for takeoff, they wiggled and curved to signal to their partners how far to travel and where to finally settle down.
After enough afternoons spent watching the bees while wearing nothing but shorts in the Thai heat, Robinson learned their language.
One day, the bees stopped dancing and started darting. They buzzed in and out of the hive, which looked now like boiling black water. Robinson knew where the bees would be headed in several seconds, and he walked squarely into the middle of their path.
He didn't know exactly what would happen, but he couldn't resist.
Moments later, hundreds of thousands of bees loosened their gluelike grip. They lifted from the hive and became a moving black cloud. As one, the bees flew at Robinson, who stood with his wife and struggled to keep his eyes open.
Wind from countless tiny wings rustled the hair on his head and chest, but none hit him. Sweet-smelling excrement flew into his face. Not one bee stung him.
"To me, this bee guy, it was the most adrenaline-full thing I've ever done," he said.
Robinson hopes to go back to the mango orchard one day.
"This place that I found has something really special about it," he said. "People need to look for more of these stopover sites and preserve them."
Conservation and caring
The Casper College group paused on the shore of a quiet lake near the northeast entrance to Yellowstone to write.
Casper College English professor Terry Rasmussen, who along with Robinson led the group of seven students, threaded her reading glasses around each ear. She read aloud an essay from a photocopied booklet.
Robinson opened his book to follow along. But mostly he looked across the lake, at times through a pair of binoculars he carried.
After the students pulled field guides and notebooks from their backpacks, the only sounds were the trickle of a distant creek and the flapping of a bird's wings against the water.
Really good nature writing at some point turns inward and becomes reflective, Rasmussen said. The students will leave the nine-day course with a journal packed with raw material for several poems and essays, which, once turned in, will earn them several credits in English, biology and P.E.
Every night before dinner at a lodge outside Cooke City, students read a draft of a poem or a passage from their journal, she said.
The class is more like a biological merry-go-round of information than an organized seminar. Robinson hollers factoids to the group as the students huff their way up hills and across creeks.
A man once survived for 37 days mostly on the root of a plant now named after him, Evert's thistle, he said. A legend says George Washington's army lived off rock lichen one awful winter.
Sometimes, the tidbits stick.
"Before, I was forgetting what class the leeches were in," said Alex Schaan, 19. "Now I can actually remember it."
If there is a synthesis — one overarching theme Robinson wants his students to take home — it's how to manage and preserve the Earth's natural resources.
"In every class I teach, I'm teaching conservation," he said.
With plenty of land and very few people, Wyoming offers unique opportunities to preserve species that have been decimated in other parts of the country, like prairie dogs, wolves and sage grouse.
That's why he harps on plant and animal names, quizzing students on what might otherwise be boring Latin words tracking an organism's genus and species.
"Knowing the name of something makes you want to learn a little bit more about it," Robinson said. "And if you know a little bit more about it, you might start to care about its future."

To get my Lyme newsletter,
you should subscribe to my RSS Feed so you can easily receive my newsletter and updates:
It's simple and updates and new newsletter pop into your inbox!
There are many ways to treat Lyme and no ONE CURE for Lyme disease.
Lyme treatment philosophy for most conventional doctors is to pump you full of different antibiotics (inadvertently overloading the patient.) Each antibiotic given is to kill the Lyme disease in the different stages of the bacteria life cycle.
Lyme treatment for some conventional doctors (the smarter ones) will include some immune boosting therapy like taking a probiotic or Vitamin C.
If you're looking into Lyme treatment because you have Lyme, it's safe to say you need more than just a probiotic and Vitamin C to get you "cured." I also believe that it takes more than just antibiotics to cure Lyme.
Lyme is a disease of opportunity. If your immune system or any metabolic system is not functioning optimally, you need a series of Lyme treatments that is UNCONVENTIONAL.
Let's get one thing straight. Doctors, like my grandfather who is 96 and is retired, really went by the Hippocratic oath…"First Do NO Harm." Their "conventional" methods are seemingly unconventional since most doctors are NOT hands on. Most would rather prescribe something (the latest and greatest) a drug representative comes in and tells them to prescribe.
There is NO magic PILL. There is NO one solution or cure to this problem. Unlike cancer, which can be zapped in many cases, Lyme is bacteria. Lyme disease treatment is tough and multi-layered.
If you have Lyme disease you can get conventional Lyme disease treatment if you catch it quickly (within a few weeks of the bite.) If you don't, you're like most "Lymies," trying to find a cure.
Let's get to the facts of Lyme Treatment.
Conventional Lyme disease treatment involves drugs like: doxcycyline, amoxicillin, ceftriaxone, and minocycline.
What's interesting is that most doctors who prescribe these don't have a plan for the die off. "Die-off" is when Lyme dies and your body becomes overloaded with neurotoxin waste (poison.)
Vitamin C IV, chelation, orally taking charcoal, rebounding on a mini tramp to get the waste through your Lymphatic System and OUT is what's needed to combat this poison. But nobody tells you these things.
Often with this type of Lyme disease treatment, the side effects from antibiotics weakening an already weak immune system and the waste from the Lyme is way worst than actually having Lyme disease.
So, use caution with conventional Lyme treatments.
The antibiotics will never get all of it. It's only when your immune system can finish the job is when you have success. Long term antibiotic Lyme treatment may make you Lyme resistant to drugs. That is another thing to think about.
Lots of "Lymies" seek alternative Lyme disease treatment. Some include: hyperbaric oxygen therapy (yes, oxygen kills bacteria, fungus, mold and parasites), infrared sauna, rife machines, salt and C protocol and supplements. These are just a few alternative Lyme disease treatment options. Of course, there are others.
My sincere belief is that with my success in treating Chronic Lyme disease (with co- infections), now being healthier that I have ever been in my entire life and continuing on with an athletic career, I can say that my problem with Chronic Lyme is much like everyone else's. I had to chip through the "health problem layers" to resolve the issues with Lyme.
I'm currently receiving no Lyme disease treatment and have not been in several years. Everyday I'm healthier than the day before.
My Lyme treatment consisted of conventional methods for 4 months and then completely unconventional for 3 years (at a steady clip.) I've obtained my wildest dreams of a full recovery.
Even though Lyme treatment is a difficult maze, it can be mastered. You just have to "out smart" the disease.
If you're wondering why some people stay sick while a few recover? I believe it's information. You either get poor advice and/or you become complacent. Good advice leads to steady progress and recovery.
Make sure you sign up for my Lyme newsletter at www.TheTickSlayer.com.
The long awaited Tick Slayer book finally came out in March 2012. This book is not your normal Lyme book. It's filled with HOPE, ENCOURAGEMENT and best of all, tells you everything I did to get healthy (which treatments and when I did certain treatments).
....but if you're looking for "quicker" answers and are willing to follow or supplement your current recovery treatment plan with a plan that I wrote from experience (my own experience and coaching hundreds of other people back to health), then check out my recovery treatment plan ebook here. It's awesome and is.....

Re: Censure Buff
Ocin wrote:Calm down, I'm not going to make a spreadsheet to make a casual observation that our DPS is a little lower than other tank's in normal 10 man gear vs. 25H gear and that the censure buff isn't welcome.
EDIT: I had to go in 5 pages in before 1 paladin tank showed up on 10 man heroic and then 2 more showed up on page 7. There were also blood DK tanks that showed up on page 4, not to mention blood DKs are apparently struggling to survive on heroic encounters and may not be equally represented.
I am calm.
There was no rage, hatred or frustration ment in my post.
Your "normal 10 man gear vs. 25H gear", thats one way of putting it to make it seem like a bigger gap than it is, since it is in fact only a normal vs heroic related issue.
Im not saying at all that the Censure buff is unwelcome, i care very much about my dps and strive to increase it whereever i can.
I just dont feel its going to impact Alysrazor much at all.
And yes, it is true that among the highest dpsers on Alysrazor, theres multiple Warriors, DKs and Druids before the first paladin shows up.
And as PsiVen said, look at the parses.
All top 10tanks are solotanking the encounter.
And paladins have very weak 2target damage, compared to warriors who have a lot more, DKs have one of their main abilities automaticly cleaving, and druids have heavy CD making them do insane aoe dmg, what do we have? Bouncing shield that does slightly more dmg on 2 than glyphed on one, and sure hammer isnt all that bad eather.
Also, IF i wanted to do a highscore on Alysrazor, id ask my guild never to touch my add aswell, and you would obviously wanna solotank them both, and i really dont see that happening.
In 25man hc, the tanks above 100k dps are: 7 Warriors, 4 Druids, 2 paladins and 0 DKs (every kill using 2x Tanks, a few having one of the tanks dying and the 2nd tank picking it up, hence higher than normal dps)
But all in all, all classes beeing within 10% of eachothers damage, id hardly call that unbalanced or anything.

Re: Censure Buff
I know this is just a "sample of one", and thus not really statistically significant, but this is the dps of myself and our warrior tank on our latest Alysrazor heroic kill (10h)
For what it is worth, we are about the same.

I wouldnt say its impossible, but i honestly dont think many even try.
The discussion we had about solotanking was exclusivly for 10man normal.
Its possible some do it on 10hc or 25man normal, but i dont know of anyone who does it.
The warrior with the most dps has his co-tank dying at some point so he has to pick it up, tanking 2 adds for a while is very doable, but it gets very frustrating during firestorms.
Its also very doable if you have your mages/lock/moonkins/shadowpriests (whoever flies in the air) to help you kill the adds, as they do a lof of damage.
Has happened quite a few times one tank dies and the otherone has to pick both up for a little while.

Giving from Individuals
Individual Giving to the CSU | |
2006/07 | $112 million |
2007/08 | $135 million |
2008/09 | $117 million |
* Includes gifts from parents, faculty, staff, students
and friends of the university.
Gifts from individuals include giving from alumni, parents, faculty, staff, students and friends of the university. In 2008-09, gift receipts from individuals decreased $18.5 million (or 14 percent) to $116.5 million.
The number of donors is a key indicator of success in attracting private support to the university. Despite the decrease in individual giving dollars received, the number of individuals giving to the CSU remained relatively stable, with 218,612 individual donors this year compared to 219,421 in 2006-07 and 221,410 in 2007-08.
In 2008-09, alumni donors made up 32 percent of individual donors and contributed over $44 million (or 38 percent of giving from individuals), with an average of $638 per gift. Alumni additionally supported the university with nearly $2 million in membership dues.
When a retired CSU Fresno agriculture professor shared his enthusiasm for his college's programs at a social gathering years ago, he never suspected that the result would be a $29 million cash gift from Hanabul "Bud" Jordan, his wife, Dee, and his brother, Lowell.
The Jordan family is from the East Bay, where Bud owned and operated a construction business headquartered in Hayward and where Lowell lived on the family ranch in Dublin, tending to the family's cattle.
The Jordan family gift will be used for research and facilities for the College of Agricultural Sciences and Technology (CAST). "This incredible gift will fund projects that the college had only just dreamed of," President John Welty said. "It's a rare and wonderful opportunity to make a profound impact on the college. We know we have outstanding, world-class agriculture programs. This gift will definitely establish Fresno State as the university of choice for top agriculture students."

Video editing with Jahshaka
One of the first things you notice about the free video-editing software Jahshaka is its unconventional controls. But once you master the learning curve, Jahshaka turns out to be a useful tool with professional features.
The former computer vendor Jah Shaka (not to be confused with the musician of the same name) was looking for a free – but powerful – video-editing program, particularly for third-world countries, where people cannot afford to invest several thousand dollars in real-time video-editing systems. At the time, Jah Shaka was working for a UNESCO project in Jamaica, which had similar goals but finally failed, thus prompting his decision to take up the reins. Shaka considered various high-end video-editing systems as role models before finally developing the free video-editing and effects program with professional features. He gave his own name to the results – Jahshaka.

The U.S. war in Iraq is over. Who won?
The end of America's combat mission, after seven and a half costly years, has raised questions that will provide fodder for argument for a long time to come: Was it worth it? And who, if anyone, won?
It's too early to answer the first question, according to U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, a man of sober judgment. "It really requires a historian's perspective in terms of what happens here in the long run … How it all weighs in the balance over time remains to be seen."
For a sizeable group of Middle East experts, the second question is easier to answer than the first. "So, who won the war in Iraq? Iran," says the headline over an analysis by scholar Mohammed Bazzi for the Council on Foreign relations, a New York-based think-tank. His argument: "The U.S. ousted Tehran's sworn enemy, Saddam Hussein, from power. Then Washington helped install a Shi'ite government for the first time in Iraq's modern history.
"As U.S. troops became mired in fighting an insurgency and containing a civil war, Iran extended its influence over all of Iraq's Shi'ite factions." As a consequence, U.S. influence has been waning, Iran's has been rising, and there are predictions that Iran will fill the vacuum created by the drawdown of U.S. troops to 50,000 who will "advise and assist" the Iraqis.
When President Barack Obama announced the completion of the drawdown in a somber speech on August 31, he made no reference to Iran – a curious omission – but said that "in an age without surrender ceremonies, we must earn victory through the success of our partners." In the case of Iraq, only optimists find it easy to see shining success.
Six months after national elections, there is still no Iraqi government, with Sunnis, Shi'ites and Kurds unable to agree on how to share power and, as importantly, the country's enormous oil wealth. A squabbling, deadlocked parliament is not much to show for more than 4,000 American, up to 100,000 Iraqi deaths and $1 trillion in war spending.
Obama's predecessor, George W. Bush, and the neoconservative war hawks who agitated for an attack on Iraq, predicted that the country would become a model of democracy that would inspire the rest of the Arab world, largely run by autocratic regimes, to follow suit. That proved a pipedream. Instead, in the words of Wathiq al-Hashemi, a political analyst in Baghdad, Iraq has become a theatre for settling foreign disputes.
"Iran has said many times … that it will fill the vacuum after the U.S. withdraws. The country has become the target of regional ambitions and interference in its affairs."
Which raises the question whether the U.S. has pulled out too early. Like many of America's foreign policy moves, the withdrawal by August 31 was a function of domestic politics rather than conditions on the ground.
"This was my pledge to the American people as a candidate for this office," Obama said in his speech. "That is what we have done, we have removed nearly 100,000 U.S. troops from Iraq." Promise fulfilled.
For Obama, how to deal with Iran's influence in Iraq and elsewhere in the region is a work in progress. The issues range from the Tehran government's nuclear programme to Iran's backing of Hamas, the Palestinian group that runs Gaza, and Hezbollah, the Lebanese Shi'ite organization Israel tried (and failed) to wipe out in its 2006 invasion of Lebanon. The U.S. considers both groups terrorist organizations.
Early in his tenure, with his prestige riding much higher at home and in the Muslim world than it is now, Obama might have had a chance to tackle Iran the way Richard Nixon dealt with China and strike a grand bargain, putting all the differences between the two countries on the table and resolve them as a package. That possibility is probably gone.
Neither Iran nor its Hamas allies in Gaza were on the agenda this week as Obama convened the first direct talks on making peace between Israel and the Palestinians in 20 months. But the ghosts of both were hanging over the meetings which brought together Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, King Abdullah II of Jordan and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.
On the eve of the talks, the ninth revival of a "peace process" that has dragged on for decades, Hamas demonstrated its potential to undermine negotiations it opposes by killing four Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank and vowed that more attacks would follow. There's no reason to doubt they'll try.

Who won? Israel and the neocons. Who lost? America and the Iraqi people.
Iraq war could be won by none but it was a damn defeat for the participants who undertook, conducted and ended the questionable war quite whimsically causing severe damage to the Iraqis' and many foreigners' lives and economies.
May the world be blessed!
If the tail has enough money to stuff into the pockets of US politicians in the Congress, then the tail wags the dog! It makes the politicians see weapons of mass destruction and fake attacks on our Naval vessels in the Gulf of Tonkin. Money also makes our politicians totally ignor our "ally" attacking the USS Liberty and intentionally killing US Sailors. Americans wake up and seize your country back from these money loving leeches! We need one term limits for every member of Congress!
Around this time two millennia and one year ago, the Battle of Teutoburg Forest unfolded. In this incident, the Romans suffered a stinging defeat at the hand of Germanic insurgents. Then and now, partners of necessity may prove of limited value.

Without question, in Iraq the winners are . . .
Kellog, Brown, and Root,
Xe (aka Blackwater).
They are still winning in Afganistan. Any idea what portion of the $Billions spent on these wars went to companies such as these rather than our own military? More's the shame that our soldiers have to use food stamps to feed their families.
It's difficult to argue that we, Americans, are in any way better off because of this costly war. Besides a redistribution of wealth from taxpayers to a limited group of corporate beneficiaries with strong political ties, it is hard to argue how the costs of the war (monetary and otherwise) have resulted in anything positive for Americans as a whole.
As a result of this war,
1. the world is increasingly skeptical of us and we've lost significant political capital as a result
2. we've flushed trillions of dollars down the toilet
3. we've created arguably more anti american sentiment within the iraqi people (only time will tell how this will play out)
4. of course, we've killed thousands of innocent iraqis and led to thousands of american deaths

The most recent phase of what I call "their plan" has unfolded over the past 50 or 60 years. As the US and the then Soviet Union were bled in wars instigated by "them" we have now seen their great successes: the reunification of Germany, the dissolution of Russia and a United States that has, as far as world history will be concerned, a bit crazy in the head. All to the advantage of "them". "They" are pushing for a greater war. "They" will be glad for it and use the chaos, just as they used the chaos of the cold war and then of Iraq and the GWOT to garner power, wealth, influence and more. "They" are unseen, unaccounted for, influential and do not have any regard for any interests but their own. By the way the Iraqi deaths quoted above are stupendously low: it is at about 1.4 million dead, directly and indirectly; twice that much in wounded, and twice that much again in displaced and exiled. the US casualty rate is about 4 thousand dead and will eventually total out at about 100 times that amount in wounded and disabled. Facts are facts. The truth has been buried. 9/11 a cheap scam and G.W. Bush just one of the many horrific, criminal scoundrels whose perfidious, foul and murderous mind has been unwittingly used by "them". Who are they? It does not matter. Noting is or will be done about whatever their ultimate game is. Good Bye for now.
A very relevant commentary from one of our best, Bernd Debusmann. The sad thing is that the points made in this piece should by now be obvious to all Americans, and actually should have been clear that these would be the results before the invasion even occurred. This is what I expected and I'm certainly no political science or military wiz.
That's the frustrating part. You know your country is being lied to and you know it's going to be a disaster and then you have to watch it all unfold as America continues to undermine itself.
By the same token, the dangerously careless politicians who took us into Iraq and punctured a gaping hole in our economy are now poised to regain power in our federal government. I already know it will further hurt America's best interests. Right now we need to focus on rebuilding the Middle Class. People warn about Progressives intention of redistributing wealth. What do those people think has been going on for the last 30 years? A redistribution of wealth from the Middle Class to the top 3% of the wealthiest Americans. It's no coincidence that those wealthiest individuals' income has been increasing exponentially while the Middleclass's income and spending power has decreased at an alarming rate. For example, the cost of health care, including prescription drugs, has risen beyond the range of affordability for much of the Middle Class. One bad diagnosis can wipe-out a lifetimes' worth of hard work and savings for a member of the Middle Class. And where does that money go? To the top 3% of America's wealthiest.
Yet at the same time that controlling oligarchy of America's wealth pays a smaller percentage of their income in taxes than at any other time in America's history, even though our debt is also at its highest. And I remind you that these are also the same people who control our government through their wealth and influence.
The Tea Party followers have it all wrong. Just reducing the size of government won't solve anything and could make things worse. Any void left by the reduction in size of government will be filled by powerful corporations whose primary objective is to gain more power and make more money.
The best single act that Americans can do to improve conditions in this country is to take the influence of money out of our political system and go to a system of publicly financed elections. It sounds easy enough, but that oligarchy that is controlling this country will convince the same people who were convinced to support the invasion of Iraq to oppose publicly financed elections. It would be sold to the electorate as an infringement on our Constitutional rights, our freedom of speech. It works because we have lost the ability to analyze our world and to think for ourselves. We take our orders from the ruling oligarchy who have only their own interests at heart. It will not compromise our freedom of speech. It will restore the power of free speech to the people. But remember, America's ruling oligarchy can outspend any other entity in the world and they will use that advantage along with all the media outlets that they own to convince us that publicly financed elections are bad for freedom, just like they convinced us that if we don't invade Iraq we will find ourselves waking up to a mushroom cloud, and no one wants that.
The Winner… defense contractors. The looser… everyone else including the people of Iraq.
I think Al Qaeda won
This was and still is a stupid war started by stupid politicians for stupid reasons. I hope that everyone remoembers this during November elections both on the local, state, and national levels. Enough of buying votes by corporations and special interest groups.
Posted by alejandro81: It's difficult to argue that we, Americans, are in any way better off because of this costly war.
Americans are better off because the war was not about anything other than keeping the Dollar's value high and stable. Since the 1970s the U.S. has had an Agreement with OPEC that they'd accept American Dollars for all of their oil transactions in exchange for our military protection against foreign or domestic coups. When Saddam attacked Kuwait the U.S. responded militarily per this agreement. Afterward a dejected Saddam began accepting Euros for his oil (a violation of the agreement). Therefore the U.S. military swept in again and deposed him. Then immediately thereafter Iraq threw out the Euro and began accepting only dollars again. Both Gulf wars had to do with keeping the dollar the preeminent world currency. This benefits Americans mightily.

The WMD (weapons of mass destruction) won. They were, afterall, the main basis of the war and have still not yet made an appearance.
What should be recognized as a seriously ominous sign for the future of the United States is that we allowed a President and his Administration to use propaganda in order to manipulate us into backing the invasion of a country we had no rational reason for invading. We weren't only pliant; we were submissive. There was very little opposition to this act of historic madness. It wasn't just President George's madness. We made it our own offense when we accepted and actually embraced the most serious action a country can take, the act of war against another country.
Just a good and persistent sales pitch is all it took. There were a few intelligent and honorable Democrats who voted against the war, but most Democrats folded to the pressure of being accused of lacking the will to defend their country, of being unpatriotic, by the President, his war-obsessed Vice-President, and the entire Republican Party, who still won't admit that it was the wrong thing to do. They may well have lost their jobs, but is any job worth surrendering your self-respect, your honor, and your allegiance to God for? Is holding a seat in Congress more important than the lives of tens maybe hundreds of thousands of innocent people and our nation's credibility? Apparently, they think so.
What has become of us? Perhaps the more compelling question is, what will become of us? If it happened once, it will ineluctably happen again. That is unless we change, and we show no sign of that happening, except to move further down the path that brought us here in the first place. Act II may very well make the Iraq War look like a cheap warm up act.
[...] The U.S. war in Iraq is over. Who won? [...]
Everyone who goes to congress gets so much richer-you have to have money to win and get into congress and they just get richer-99.5 precent of them are highly corupt and work for where there getting money-if this system does not change all citizens but the 3% of rich will become subject of our government-we will become a cast people-rich or poor.
The author starts out with a quote from Sec. Gates ("a man of sober judgement") stating that Iraq requires a historical perspective, but then he abandons this premise and reverts back to the familar "democracy pipe dreams" line. Evidently the author hasn't yet decided what he believes.
As for the "grand bargain" with Iran, this is the proper context for pipe dreams, since this has been tried by previous presidents, most notably Pres. Clinton, only to be rebuffed by the religious radicals currently in charge of the country. The author should know that the mullahs of Iran have no interest in a grand bargain with the United States. Fomenting hostility towards the US is just about the only way to keep their dwindling number of domestic supporters, i.e. the thugs on the basiij payroll, in line. The Obama admin is taking positive steps with tougher sanctions and we should continue to apply the heat until this corrupt, autocratic regime collapses.
The American working classes took it in the rear – but nothing new there.
America won. Have you never seen the Mission Accomplished picture?
Shia won Saddam lost, good won evil lost but the price was great sacrifice
..defense contractors won..
Israel won the war. Iran came in second. The USA elite won trillions and the American people lost badly.
our goals were met. therefore the United States of America, NATO, and the International Security Assistance Force have meta victory in the no man's land out there in the east. Israel is sure happy about all the dead iraqis. iran is surely happy about all of the dead americans. so desicevly the US wo. get over it, liberals.

Wild Rose MP remembers former finance ministerBy: Sara Wilson | Posted: Thursday, Apr 17, 2014 11:48 am Just weeks after his retirement, colleagues and friends mourned the sudden death former finance Minister Jim Flaherty on April 10. �It was with profound shock and sadness that we learned of the sudden passing of my friend and colleague, former Finance Minister Jim Flaherty,� said Airdrie MP Blake Richards. �He leaves behind a career unmatched as an honourable and dedicated public servant, serving the people of Ontario and then Canada as an elected representative for nearly 30 years.� The lawyer and Montreal native died from a heart attack; he was 64 years old. Flaherty held the position of finance minister since 2006 when he was sworn in by Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Flaherty resigned from his position on March 18, 2014. A state funeral was held in his honour on April 16 in Ottawa. �As Canada�s longest serving finance minister, he was the architect of Canada�s recovery from the global economic recession. Under his guidance, our country emerged stronger than ever, first among equals in the G-7 and recognized as a leader in economic progress around the world,� Richards said. Flaherty will be remembered for his fiscal policies during the Economic Downturn in 2008, abolishing the penny, adopting the Building Canada Plan and the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act. �Jim also leaves a great personal legacy as a dedicated husband and father, and a wonderful friend and colleague. He was immensely respected by all who had the pleasure to know him, not just in our Conservative caucus, but amongst our opposition colleagues, the national media, and his counterparts around the world,� Richards said. �It is said that great hopes make great men. Jim Flaherty had great hopes for Canada. He shall be missed.� Comments

* PLUS: 4 Challenges for the Navy as More Unmanned Drones Go Underwater
* TECH WATCH: Will New Weapon Advances Cause a Naval Power Crunch?
1. Desalination Machines
The Navy needs smaller devices that can produce clean water in ports and from other brackish sources close to shore. One key is upgrading the filters used on current reverse-osmosis systems with new materials that can screen tinier particles.2. One-Size-Fits-All Bombs
Carrier aviators supporting troops on the ground could use the same bomb for various missions by setting the blast size and fragmentation level from the cockpit. The new bomb would reduce collateral damage and remove costly specialty weapons from arsenals.3. Multitarget Tracking Lasers
Swarms of small boats can endanger any carrier group, so U.S. helicopters and airplanes need new sensors in order to fire precision weapons at many targets at once. The system can designate several targets with a single, quickly flickering laser beam.4. New Periscope
The "silent service" is seeking sub-marine masts studded with sensors to allow better range and clarity during bad weather. The data the periscope receives will be processed by intelligent software that will autonomously recognize objects and alert sailors to threats.5. Mine-Hunting Robots
The Navy wants a new robot that can detect mines in shallow water, where reverberations interfere with sonar. The new drone will likely combine low-frequency broadband technology with small synthetic aperture sonar to get clear images of minefields.RELATED STORIES

Everyone knows the deadline for the fish n chipper is early these days. So who leaked the front page to the fish n chipper yesterday?
This popped up on facebook at 9.04pm on Wednesday, which calls into question how loose Gilbert Gottfried the Mayor's lips are:
but even that would have been post-deadline. So who leaked the front page story and breached the confidentiality rule every Councillor I have tried to speak to talks of?
Must have come from in-house. I hope they would have an inquiry. We have a suspect. Someone who would have got the arse card if those so keen on their Council-appointed positions hadn't bent over and taken one in the chook for the incumbent CEO….
Is anyone going to get a smack for this? And the other question has to be asked – how can you trust the city burghers with your personal or commercially sensitive information if they just run off at the mouth to suit their own purposes?
