I've been aware for years of a See's outlet store in the far southwest burbs of my city. I resisted tracking it down because I can gain weight just walking through their front door.
My will power crumbled today. After visiting Hausermann's Orchids (yes, a phal from the sale table followed me home lolol), I motored on down to Downer's Grove, IL, where I loaded up on gourmet lollipops (the box of assorteds) and one butterscotch covered in milk chocolate. Although I can't figure out why it's called butterscotch because to me it tastes just like maple sugar. Either way, YUM. A new orchid and a box full of sugary deliciousness. It was a good day! And you? How are you spending the weekend? Karen |

I was dodging rain drops while taking a walk. Eating a mini Cadbury, creme egg. Is it Easter yet? I'm looking for the caramel kind. Your weekend sounds great. Candy and flowers. Can't beat that. |
My dad is originally from Downer's Grove -- I will tell him they have a See's outlet now. I love See's candy and like to say that I was raised on it, along with recipes made with Campbell's soup. A child of the fifties. I'm just vegging out, but will try to do a bit of housekeeping before day is done. It's threatening to rain again -- enough already! |
We have a See's right here in town about 10 minutes away next door to a feed and pet food store we go to often. I got Missy a box of truffles last time I was down there. She immediately hid them so they wouldn't disappear. She gave me a couple since I was good. Did the rear brakes on the truck today, shoes and wheel cylinders. I used to be OK with getting greasy but now not so much. Crawling around on the driveway is also not as much fun as it used to be. |

Cleaned out some overgrown bushes and some long overdue housework since they let my husband go home for the weekend and he promised me he try to get up only when I was there. |
The title of your post reminded me of that old joke where the hobo asked for a handout. The lady of the house looks at her woodpile -- but the hobo says, "Lady, you saw me see that wood, but you ain't gonna see me saw it!" LOL I've never heard of a store called "See's"; maybe it's a Mid-west and/or West Coast chain? Candy and flowers are always a good combination. Yesterday was laundry day, as usual; this morning was church and now 'puter time. If I can talk DH into it, we may go see "The Lincoln Lawyer" with Matthew MacConauhy. (Sp.?) |
DH is in the downsize mode...so what do we do....drive around looking at condos that have at LEAST 2000 more sq ft than the house we now live in now. So my day was spent contemplating murder.... Chocolate covered maple creams from Sees.....sigh |
Never heard of Sees candy until last year when someone sendt me a thank you gift of theior candy, What a treat!! |

New View of Exoplanets Will Aid Search for E.T.
- Wednesday June 27, 2012
By teasing out faint signatures of light, astronomers have probed the atmosphere of an extrasolar planet that does not pass in front of its parent star. The technique also allowed them to precisely calculate the mass of the planet – which is named Tau Bootis b — for the first time since its discovery 15 years ago.

I bought this last summer from Chalk Hill Farms and have yet to plant it. It is full of cute, small purple (blooms were supposed to be blue!) flowers. If any of you have planted it I'd love a suggestion as to what it should grow up through.
Thanks Ginny |

Will Frankie be ok in an area that only gets 2-3 hours of sun - a bit in the morning and a bit at noon? Of course I want to see those darling flowers. Also wondering what he grows up best on - another plant or a trellis? Thanks Ginny |
- Posted by janetpetiole 4b (My Page) on Wed, Jun 3, 09 at 15:16
In your zone, only 2-3 hours is probably enough. |

Clematis like Roses need at Least 6 hours of sun...anything less and they won't perform...Jeanne |

Several sources state that Frankie can tolerate shade. |

The Winter Olympics can be compelling for a variety of different reasons, but for NHL fans it invariably comes down to one event: men's ice hockey. Both the Canadian and American teams kick off today, with Team Canada starting against Norway at 4:30 Pacific Time.
Coach Mike Babcock has elected to start Roberto Luongo in net against Norway, while Martin Brodeur will get his first game on Thursday against the Swiss. Babcock explained that the move would give Brodeur a few more days of rest:
"Marty has played a lot of hockey and this gives him a couple of days' breather. Marty will play against Switzerland and after that I will make the decision. That's what we came up with."
Babcock's words indicate that the decision about who will be the number one goalie for the remainder of the tournament has not yet been decided. Brodeur remains the overwhelming favourite for the job, on the basis of his strong resume and success in championship games, but the recent history of both players makes things less clear cut. Frankly, I still think it's Brodeur's job to lose; in Detroit Babcock has traditionally gone with total track record over recent results in making his goaltending decisions (Hasek over Osgood to start the 2008 playoffs, Osgood over Conklin in 2009), but that doesn't mean that Brodeur can't lose the job and I'd assume Babcock is keeping an open mind.
As for Canada's opposition, Scott Reynolds did a great write-up on Norway during his preview of Group A, as they aren't terribly imposing. Patrick Thoresen (pictured above) is an incredibly underrated player and should probably still be in the NHL, but when he's the best forward on the team it doesn't take a particle physicist to realize that these teams are not on even footing. Ole-Kristian Tollefsen headlines the defence, and aside from those two there aren't any players particularly recognizable on this side of the pond.
This shouldn't be close.
Other Notes
Team USA starts the tournament off with a game against Switzerland at 12:00 PT. The Swiss have improved a lot over the last decade, and Jonas Hiller is the key player for them. It will be interesting to see how they fare against the Americans prior to their game against Canada, and this should be the closest of today's games.
Continuing the theme of mismatches, the very scary Russian team plays Latvia, and while the Latvians have some players (notably Karlis Skrastins) they're minus their older ex-NHL stars Irbe and Ozolinsh, and if they can keep the score to within three goals it will represent a major accomplishment.
A lot of the stuff I'm including here comes from Scott Reynolds' excellent Olympic previews; I linked to his Group A article above but I strongly recommend reading both his Group B and Group C articles as well.

Fayetteville High School Students First
When considering the future of Fayetteville High School, the needs of our students must come first. The best option for our students, faculty, community and taxpayers is to build a new high school in a new location and sell the old location to the University of Arkansas. We believe a new location will improve student safety, save taxpayers money, equip Fayetteville High School with a world-class facility that will serve the community\'s needs well into the future, and most importantly, provide our students with the modern, spacious facility they deserve. Conversely, renovating and expanding the old high school would compromise the educational experiences of at least eight classes of students and require double the millage increase of building on the current site. This option will also not solve the fundamental problem of crowding and lack of space at the current facility. We urge the Fayetteville School Board to build a new, world-class high school at a new location and sell the current location to the University to offset construction costs.

7 years ago Comments: If I were a teacher at Fayetteville High School, I expect that I would be newly energized with a facility that was new, state-of-the art, designed with specific purposes in mind. It is hard to work in an atmosphere that is make-shift. (Consider researsing a band in sections because there is not room to work the entire group.) If I were a student, I can only expect that I would choose a new state-of-the-art facility over a renovated facillity at a location with inherent issues of concern. As a parent of three students in the district, I expect the board to make a reasonable choice that is in the best interest of all of our students, present and future. I support the requests of this petition.
Frank Broyles, United States
7 years ago Comments: As a long time Fayetteville supporter I must say the time has come to do the right thing for our students. Sprawl has been good for Fayetteville, it's good for Razorback athletics and it's good for business. Why are we waiting. The time has come. Funding will not be an issue. Future Razorbacks will emerge from the new institution.

2003 MINI Cooper S
ProsGreat performance for its price, compact, reliable, adorable and fun! ConsNot a whole lot of trunk space, front wheel drive, stupid interior
The Perfect Car For Me! — For the price, the mini cooper S is a steal. The stock suspension feels wonderful, and the brakes are really excellent (I would know >.<). It's a compact car, but you can fit 3 very, very large people in it with a little effort. Because it's made for auto cross, the 2nd gear is suuuppper long. You can go from 20mph to 70mph before you have to change gears if you're willing to push it to 6 or 7000rpms. The acceleration is great, but you get super charger lag until about 3500rpms. The interior is kind of like a space ship.. the speedometer is HUGE, and the tachometer is where the speedo normally is, but honestly I find that more useful. The tacky silver-colored plastic trim is a nuisance, and the steering wheel is kind of chunky, but you can control the radio with switches on the back of the wheel, and that's pretty awesome. My biggest complaint is the cupholders. For some reason, the designers thought it would be cute to have two little black hoops on either side of the switches above the cupholders, so any drink larger than, say, 6 inches can't fit in the damn things. The newer models have improved the interior substantially, but I can't say the 2003 design really works for me. Although it's pretty funny to see people who have never been in the car before search around for the tiny round door handles. :P Also, it's front wheel drive, so the turning radius is absolutely abysmal for such a small car, but I guess on the bright side it handles fairly well in the rain. I have the model with Run Flat tires, so a little sensor/alarm goes off when it senses a tire is going flat, and then you have (reportedly) 100 miles to go if you go 50mph or lower on the flat before you need to fix it, but I've gone around 250 miles doing highway speeds, so they're actually more useful than described. All in all, it's a great car, and I'm going to run her into the ground before I get another. :)

2003 MINI Cooper S
ProsPerformance, handling, fun factor ConsBraking (Standard setup)
Mini Cooper S R53 — Writing anything would be an understatement for this car, you just have to drive the damn thing. 100% pure F-U-N! It has history, it has some sort of uniqueness and carisma in the whole package. The car definetely turns heads and the handling alone is unbeatable. The Mini also has a very good tuning potential and its superchared motor really gives an even boost to the cars performance. A must have for every car lover! |
2003 MINI Cooper S
ProsHandling, handling , handling Cons$$$ to maintain, a little underpowered
'03 Cooper S — SO EXPENSIVE to keep running, but its worth it, handles like its on rails baby! A little under powered Both of my window motors failed in the same week, 3 years after buying it The most fun car I have ever driven in terms of handling The interior is sick, with a MASSIVE speedometer and a nice tachometer right in front of you |
2003 MINI Cooper Base
ProsEverything about this car is awesome except the cost to repair it. ConsRepair costs are higher since it's an import and finding a mechanic.
Awesome Mini - Keep On Motoring. — I love this car but when it's paid off I plan to get a brand new one because I bought this one with high miles and am paying for it. The performance is great in terms of braking it stops on a dime, acceleration and handling are great even on snow and ice. I have repaired a few minor things but no major repairs. I love the appearance and ease of finding a parking space. The only complaint in the design is the cup holders are small and in the wrong place.

ProsHandling, fun factor, sound system, 6 speed trans, gas mileage, fast, comfortable, much more room than you would imagine. ConsInterior rattling, electrical problems RARELY, low windshield makes it hard to see streetlights.
Mini Cooper S — This is by far the most fun car I have ever driven. I have driven some SUPER performance cars but nothing feels quite the same as a MINI. Dont confuse the Cooper S with the base model Cooper, as the car is completely different. I set out to buy a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, or a WRX STI and as soon as I saw this MINI, I had to to test drive it. My intentions were to test drive it for fun, and continue on to buy an EVO or STI but within the first 2 to 3 minutes I was sold. I went back and bought the car on the spot. I have had some minor electrical problems with the door lock, and window motor on the passenger side but I believe it is a direct result of passengers slamming the light doors. I wish it had an arm rest...but I can certainly live without one. The handling on this car is fantastic, it turns like a go-kart, there is VERY minimal body roll, and you would have a very tough time TRYING to lose control of this car. I drive it in the upstate NY winters where the snow on the road is often higher than the front bumper, black ice is present, slush, hard pack, etc. I bought a winter wheel set for the car which is shown in one of the pictures(black), and this car is fantastic in the winter. When the weather is terrible and everyone on the road is driving slow, i'm actually passing cars. I think every car enthusiast thats driven in the winter has purposely slid around in parking lots or wherever the mood strikes, and I slide it around on purpose all the time and I constantly maintain control. The sound system is amazing and the bass is phenomenal. The sound of the stock exhaust is really nice and sporty, and the sound of the supercharger is even sportier. The power of the car is very nice. It does have a small engine, and these cars arent as light as they look so it does take a second to a second and a half to get it into the power and then when the supercharger kicks in... its indescribably fun in this little car. The interior is comfortable, beautiful, and highly slylish, but there are many points where the plastic rattles. There is MUCH more room than you would ever imagine by looking at the outside, and by folding down the rear seats, you create a huge trunk. I dont even need to mention gas mileage. Overall...this is a great car for the money, and if FUN is important to you while you drive...then buy a MINI S. |
2003 MINI Cooper Base
ProsGood mileage, ample leg room, turns many heads! ConsFairly harsh ride, very small storage space,
2003 Mini Cooper - Maxi Fun! — 36 miles/gallon - city or highway, handles well, look very cute in its red and white paint scheme, plenty of leg room for front passengers, can seat 4 adults somewhat comfortably, haven't had any major malfunctions. Car has 69,000 miles on it. Fantastic car for two passengers! |
2003 MINI Cooper S
ProsWay too much zoom, tight handling like nothing else, most fun to drive - ever! Consfuel eco about average, high-pitched engine whine, new tires every year, some rattle noises
My Jet-car — It's five years old and everyone thinks it's still new - that's the power of the MINI. When I got it, it was fast, tight, and an awesome drive. Today, after upgrading the ECU and the air intake, it's even more quick and just as nimble. There's a good reason everyone want s to drive my little beast. You must at least take one for a drive. Sure, loose object rattle in the door storage; the engine is a bit loud; the fuel economy is only as good as an average sedan; the seat controls are manual; there is no cruise control or heated seats - forget all that and try a corner at 100 kph. When it's not covered in dust and road rash, it's classic British Racing Green with a Black roof- one of only two colours styles a MINI should be (the other being Red with a White roof and trim.) The interior is black pleather with lots of scuffs and fingerprints on all the plastic and glass. And I wouldn't trade it for a new one. |
2003 MINI Cooper S
ProsGreat fun, great to look at and reliable. ConsRunflat tyres on a cooper s are expensive to replace!
An Amazing Experience. Really Nippy And Great At Throwing Into Corners! — If you want a car for fun and also for driving day to day, then this is just the ticket. If you get the S model of the mini cooper you will never want to part from it. I have had mine for 18 months and I can't fault it. It handles like a go cart in the corners and is so much fun. Inside you have got full, heated leather seats that are just perfect for cold winter mornings. Climate control, rain sensor wind screen wipers and cruise contol are an added bonus. My ar also have an electirc sunroom, which is brilliant for summer time! Mine is very high spec, but if your going for a mini that's what you should aim for in order to get the best experience. |
2003 MINI Cooper S
ProsGreat style, runs great, and has a lot of power! ConsFuel economy is around 27 mpg, could be better.
Sporty And Fun — I love the power and handling of the car. The gas mileage is great considering it's a sport model. Premium gas is recommended but regular fuel works just fine. Manual transmission but I'm just looking for a n automatic car! Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2003 MINI Cooper S
ProsFast, fun to drive and reliable ConsNothing but it's a small car .... back seats are useless
My Love — I owned the car since college in 2003 and it's still my favorite ride. it's a reflection of my personality and ambition. I modified the engine to 240 hp and it's amazing in corners and acceleration. My plan is to give her to my son :) Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |

Fans of classic and antique cars were in for a special treat this weekend.
The Estrella War Bird Museum hosted its Fifth Annual War Birds, Wings, and Wheels Car Show Saturday.
Over 300 classic and antique cars were on display among the war planes. Guests could also enjoy live music, raffles, a silent auction, and plenty of great food.
The family-friendly event also had a Fun Kid Zone with bounce houses and an arcade.
"They get to see old military planes and vehicles, and all the old hot rods that come from that era and that day. It's just a great mix and combination of both," said Carol Verstuyft, the Car Show Chairman.
Last year's event raised $18,000. Organizers expect to make $20,000 this year.
Proceeds benefit the museum.

Kevin Franklin led off the bottom of the ninth swinging freely. He tried to hit the first pitch he saw over the Rims but missed. Later in the at-bat he flailed at strike three in the dirt.
Idaho Falls reliever Sam Lewis went on to strike out Shed Long and Nick Benedetto to earn his first save of the season, and the Chukars beat the Mustangs 4-2 on a hot Wednesday night at Dehler Park.
"It was poor pitch selection at the end, the swing and miss on the ball in the dirt," Franklin said later. "It's something I've had to work on. It's a day-to-day process. It's not going to happen overnight, and I'm not expecting it to happen overnight."
Franklin, who's still baby-faced at 19, is slow to find his footing in the Pioneer League. For a kid who's still new to pro baseball, it's a step-by-step procedure. The Cincinnati Reds believe in Franklin as a prospect, or they wouldn't have drafted him in the second round out of high school in Cerritos, Calif., in the 2013 draft.
Through 18 games so far in Billings, Franklin is hitting just .157 (11 for 70). But Wednesday offered great promise. Aside from the ninth inning, Franklin had three quality at-bats and produced his second multi-hit game of the year.
The 6-foot-1, 220-pound first baseman, who toiled last summer in the Arizona League, hit a single up the middle in the fourth against Idaho Falls starter Torey Deshazier, and then pushed a single through the right side of the infield in the sixth against reliever Emilio Ogando.
"He stayed on the ball and got two base hits," Mustangs manager Dick Schofield said. "For him to have success you've got to use the entire field instead of just pulling everything. That was really nice to see."
Franklin says the game has sped up for him in the Pioneer League. Once it starts to slow down again, Franklin believes you'll see tangible results.
"From high school to last year down in Arizona, everything seems to go a lot quicker out here," Franklin said. "It's something I've got to get used to. But I feel like I'm finally starting to come into my own, and that's all I can ask and that's all the coaches are asking from me.
"One thing they've always told me is to not put too much pressure on myself . Just give it 110 percent, and that's what I'm trying to do every day."
KEY MOMENT: The game was tied 2-2 after the teams went back-and-forth in the first. But in the fourth, the Chukars' Mike Hill came out first-pitch swinging against Jeremy Kivel and hit a triple into the right field corner. Brandon Thomasson followed with a single to center, and Idaho Falls had a lead it never gave up.
ON THE MOUND: Mustangs pitchers again had trouble with Idaho Falls' Ryan O'Hearn, who went 2 for 5 with a solo home run. But they're really having trouble with Wander Franco, who had three more hits and is now 7 for 10 in the series. Idaho Falls starter Torey Deshazier (2-0) outperformed the hard-throwing Kivel (0-2), who had an otherwise decent line. Kivel gave up three earned runs in 4 1/3 innings.
AT THE PLATE: Hill's fourth-inning triple was one of four three-baggers the teams combined on, two of which rolled into the 350-foot right-field corner. "It's weird how balls get down in there," Schofield said of Dehler Park's right-field dimension. "It's almost like the Bermuda Triangle. You're going to get a triple unless you're extremely slow."
ON DECK: Game 3 of this four-game set is Thursday at 7 p.m. at Dehler Park. The Mustangs will trot Luke Moran (1-0, 5.49) to the mound to oppose Tejay Antone (0-1, 10.12). "The thing with everyone is when you have to throw a fastball for a strike and everybody's looking for it, if the other team has decent hitters they're going to hit you," Schofield said. "(Moran) really has to use the corners and pitch instead of just throw."

A lot of women suffer from acne. Most of them usually breakout just before their menstrual period. This type of acne also referred as menstrual acne is due to the drop of estrogen levels and the increase in progesterone levels. As we all know acne is a hormonal condition. When certain hormones fluctuate, it is most likely that you will get acne. The key in treating acne caused by hormonal fluctuations is by understanding how your hormones behave. Let us dive in and understand how estrogen affects acne. To know more, read this.
The Menstrual Cycle and Acne
Estrogen levels are highest during the pre-ovulation stage. It is unlikely that you develop acne during this stage as estrogen binds with androgen receptors. After ovulation, estrogen levels fall. When this happens, testorone binds with androgen receptors causing your sebaceous glands to go overdrive. When more oil is produced, the excess oil get trapped inside your pores. Dead skin cells clump up together to form a plug preventing the oil to reach the surface. When acne bacteria is trapped with the sebum and other dirt particles, it converts the sebum to fatty acids allowing the bacteria to replicate and multiply. The inflammatory reaction caused by your immune system to get rid of the acne bacteria is what causes the signs and symptoms of acne.
Though the drop of estrogen levels can contribute to the formation of acne, it is unlikely that you will breakout if your pores are properly cleansed and there are no dead skin cells that clog your pores. Proper skin care is very important. Neglecting your skin care routine can not only cause you to have more acne but will also aggravate your existing acne condition.
How to Treat Acne by Altering your Estrogen Levels
You may have already heard about birth control pills as an acne treatment. Birth control pills contains a mixture of progestin and synthetic estrogen. Those pills that contain more estrogen can help you prevent future acne breakouts. However, these pills cannot treat existing blemishes. Your existing blemishes would go through the acne cycle and the painful inflammation process. As your immune system contains the acne causing bacteria, the signs and symptoms of acne will gradually subside.
Sometimes Altering Estrogen Levels are Not Enough
Though may help in preventing future acne outbreaks, it is important that you still use an over the counter acne treatment, such as the exposed skin care system, to directly attack your blemishes. These over the counter acne brands will speed up the healing of your acne lesions.

I already wrote a whole bunch about Arizona's Take Over And Destroy earlier this month, when we premiered "Summer Isle," the first single from their great forthcoming LP Vacant Face. So I won't repeat myself, except to say that TOAD are a ferocious and exhilarating band who play an addictive and utterly unique style of doomy death 'n' roll with a kick so strong it provides an almost visceral sensation. They just released Vacant Face's second single, "Split Screen," which is my favorite song on the album. Check it out.

What is Gymnema Sylvestre? Gymnema sylvestre is a woody climber that belongs to the Asclepiadaceae family. It grows in the tropical forests of India and is very popular in Konkan, Bihar, Central India, and Western Ghats. It has long, winding slender branches and bears fruits that look like a ram's horn. Its roots and oblate leaves are the ones with medicinal properties. For 2,000 years, it has been used in India for diabetes mellitus. Millions of Indian people have benefitted from this miracle herb that is now just making its way in the United States. It began gaining momentum in western countries after several scientist studies were published about it in the 1980′s. Today, it is widely commercialized in the US and Europe and people buy gymnema sylvestre for a number of reasons.
The leading use of this Ayurvedic herb is as treatment for diabetes. Studies conducted both in London and India prove what Ayurvedic practitioners have already known for centuries. Today, it is widely accepted as an effective treatment for diabetes and as an agent in maintaining blood sugar levels in diabetic patients. Gymnema sylvestre has been found to contain acids and chemicals that suppress the sense of taste for sweetness. This means that once gymnema sylvestre is ingested, the craving for sugar is reduced if not completely diminished.
Ancient records reveal that people used to chew gymnema sylvestre leaves. As they are masticated, they release a bittersweet taste, which modern science has now identified as the anti-sweet gymnemic acids. Chewing the leaves in ancient times was the equivalent to the modern-day extracts.
The leaves and roots do not have any culinary value although they are completely safe if unintentionally swallowed. In fact, there are no known gymnema sylvestre side effects. A number of studies have declared it to be non-toxic and completely safe. And since it is safe, it is advised for people suspected to have diabetes to take the herb even before being diagnosed with the ailment.
What are its other uses?
It is now slowly being commercialized as a weight-loss herbal supplement. Since it is very effective in reducing the urge to eat sugar and fatty foods, it is considered a very helpful supplement for anyone attempting to lose weight, although it is not known to suppress hunger or burn fats.
The other known uses and benefits of gymnema sylvestre plant include the treatment of cough, fever, jaundice, asthma, constipation, hemorrhoids, bronchitis and liver problems. Some also believe that it has stimulating, laxative and diuretic properties. In ancient times, it was also used to cure insect bites, allergies and snake bites.
Where to buy gymnema sylvestre:
It is available in health stores, Asian stores, weight-loss stores and online retailers such as Amazon.com.
How to buy gymnema sylvestre:
Leading department stores may still not market it since gymnema sylvestre supplements are still relatively unknown in the West but this is not a reason why you should not buy gymnema sylvestre. It is best and easiest purchased online. It is marketed in several forms online such as pills, tablets, dried, organic, teas and extracts.

345 Burton to Officer
Cablegram 127 CANBERRA, 23 September 1947, 6.40 p.m.
Your 164. [1]
1. Our guess had been, from the attitude of Dutch here, Dutch at Batavia, and reports from New York, that, for the time being, the decision had been taken there could be no further military moves.
2. Eaton has reported fully and conditions in Djokjakarta. are encouraging and the whole question of alleged breaches of 'cease fire' has been observed by other representatives who are now inclined to believe that the so-called mopping up operations of the Dutch is the chief cause.
3. We are at present giving thought to the line the Australian representative on the Committee of Three should take. We are fairly confident that we can sell any solution we think is just to the Indonesians, and recent Dutch attitude to us makes us believe that they too wish to find a solution through the Committee of Three.
4. The Cheribon Agreement approached independence of Indonesia in a roundabout way, first of all giving independence to a United States of Indonesia, and then forming a Netherlands-Indonesian union. In our view, this procedure toward independence is now outmoded. There must be independence for the Republic, that is, Java, Sumatra, and Madura, as a first initial step, association with other parts of Indonesia being left to subsequent arrangements.
5. Our second observation at this stage is that the Cheribon Agreement leaves unsolved all the major questions, for example, the economic arrangements, and that the Committee of Three must attempt to solve these questions if a solution is to be found.
6. For these reasons, it would seem futile to return to the Cheribon Agreement, and we ha[ve] in mind a combination of the Cheribon Agreement and the Philippines -United States Agreement.
[2] Under [the] latter, if you can obtain a text, you will see that complete independence is granted, subject to agreements between the Philippines and the United States contemplated in a protocol to the main agreement. In our view, if the Dutch can be persuaded to offer independence along the lines offered by the United States to the Philippines, and by the United Kingdom to India, Burma, and Ceylon, and if Indonesians, on the other hand, can be persuaded to offer subsequent agreements satisfactorily governing economic and administrative arrangements, there is every prospect of final agreement.
7. The location of the meetings of the Committee of Three is not yet decided.
New York has been suggested, but we think this unrealistic and would prefer Singapore. We are convinced also that our representative must go with concrete proposals generally acceptable to both parties.
8. I will be speaking informally and on a personal basis to Teppema along these lines and therefore there is no objection to you taking similar action at The Hague. Our impression is that the Dutch are now willing to believe that we are sincerely desirous of a satisfactory settlement and that, in arriving at this settlement, do not wish to prejudice their fundamental interests.
Proposals along the lines outlined above would satisfy the objective interests of both parties. It would be interesting to us if you could think aloud along these lines to whatever Dutch authorities are available to you and to report their reactions.
9. As regards procedure of the Committee, we had contemplated that, while the Committee was considering an overall draft agreement based on Cheribon and perhaps also on Philippines, members of their staff would discuss with Dutch and Indonesian representatives further agreements dealing with detailed economic and other relationships. We envisage also that the Committee of Three, after its first meeting, should meet subsequently from time to time until all agreements had not only been completed but carried into effect, thus maintaining the supervision of the Security Council over all negotiations and ensuring that both parties carry out the terms of the agreement.
10. The granting of immediate independence to the Republic will come to the Dutch as a new suggestion, as Cheribon contemplated, as indicated above, a more roundabout procedure. There can be little doubt, however, that the British technique, which has met with such success, can, with our influence, meet with equal success in respect of Indonesia, and that, in place of the Cheribon Agreement, there should be the immediate offer of independence, subject to certain subsequent agreements. We can sell this to the Indonesians and, from the Dutch point of view, there would be tremendous beneficial effects throughout the whole world.
11. You will realise this is the important stage of all negotiations we have initiated in this matter and therefore wish you to do everything possible to have accepted this general approach, maintaining always that events have proved the course we adopted to be the correct one and that, with Dutch co-operation, we can see the whole matter through to a successful and satisfactory conclusion.

Coast Guard takes delivery of 45-foot response boat
Posted onThe crew of Coast Guard Station Wrightsville Beach in North Carolina recently accepted the delivery of a 45-foot response boat.
The boat is the 126th of about 170 boats being delivered to the Coast Guard during a period of eight to 10 years. Half of them are being built in Kent, Wash., by Marinette Marine Corp.'s major subcontractor, Kvichak Marine Industries of Seattle. Marinette Marine is building the other half of the fleet in Green Bay, Wis.
The response boat will replace an aging fleet of 41-foot utility boats and assorted non-standard boats being used at Coast Guard stations throughout the country. The utility boat has been a Coast Guard workhorse for more than 25 years, but the service says newer boats with increased capabilities are needed.
The response boat is a multi-mission boat that can operate in coastal zones, including inshore and inland waterways and the open ocean out to 50 nautical miles. Primary missions for the vessel include search and rescue; ports, waterways and coastal security; defense readiness; and marine environmental protection.

Whether it's the sheer joy of Rick James "Give It To Me Baby", the inspiration of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" or the raw power of the Ike and Tina Turner classic "Proud Mary", The Mojo Scoundrels put themselves into the music to create an energy audiences are calling "The Mojo Scoundrel Experience."
Mr. Nice Guy - Mr. Nice Guy is South Florida's premier classic rock group. The band formed in 2002 features 3 dynamic lead vocalists, and the tightest rhythm section in Florida according to Jimi Robinette of Main Event talent. This seven piece band covers anything from Aerosmith to Zeppelin, Beatles to Yes, Cocker to Stevie Wonder...and does so with high energy and precision. Several of the band members have performed in bands with artists such as KC and the Sunshine Band, Clarence Clemons , Tony Stevens of Foghat, and The Village People. Mr Nice Guy recently opened up shows with ZZ Top and The Outlaws.
Blackstar - Blackstar is a multifaceted, Miami-based cover band that has been around in many different forms since 1989. Blackstar is highly versatile and capable of playing a wide variety of songs but is focused on mainly playing songs that people love but don't usually get to hear. In 2007, a three-piece horn section, "The Schmokin' Section," was added along with a whole new dimension enabling Blackstar to effectively execute songs that few cover bands can play. Currently, Blackstar is comprised of six permanent members: Don Hyink, founding member and band leader (lead vocals/lead guitar), Karl Ellins (bass/keys/background vocals, groovemaster), Bruce Turkel (trumpet/harmonica/vocals/hype man), Allen Lynch (drums), Carlos Avila (trombone/musical director), Oscar Dudamel (Alto and Tenor sax/flute/clarinet), and the newest member and Grammy-award winning musician Paul Hoyle (piano, bass, vocals). Blackstar also features multiple guest artists and friends of the band that frequently join in on the fun.

"Working at a really small scale is something you'll be familiar with if you've been lucky enough to have done an Art Foundation course."
Really? My foundation course had to struggle to stop me doing my usual little drawings and do stuff big instead.

- Conference date: 17–22 June 2012
- Location: Big Island, Hawaii
The interaction of a beam propagating in a inhomogeneous solar wind plasma is considered. The properties of the plasma waves are described by the one dimensional Zakharov's equation, the beam is modelled by means of particles moving in the electric fields of the Langmuir waves. We take into account the presence of high level density fluctuations that are known to be present in the solar wind. It is shown that when the level of density fluctuations is low, , the regime of beam relaxation is very similar to that occurring in a homogeneous plasma and can be described by the quasilinear (QL) equations. In this case, the relaxation length is very short and corresponds to that obtained using the QL approximation. On the contrary, when the level of density fluctuations overcomes some limit, i.e. , where , the plasma inhomogeneities crucially influence the process of relaxation. First, the linear wave growth becomes localized and clearly identifiable wave packets/clumps dominate the wave spectrum; this is associated with the kinematic properties of the waves' propagation and the wave-particle resonant interactions. Most of the wave packets grow in the regions of density gradients. The second important feature revealed by the beam relaxation consists in the generation of a tail of accelerated electrons with velocities V > Vb exceeding the beam drift. The beam widens in both directions, toward lower velocities as well as higher velocities; the density of the accelerated electrons can reach more than 10 ÷ 20 % of the beam density and the energy flux carried by this population can become as large as 40% of the initial energy flux of the beam.

With the release of SSU, most people will be factoring in some AA shooting into their lists. I'm expanding out of the Revised Core set, and looking at the available options. For axis this appears to be Heinrich, Luther or SturmKonig walkers. I've discounted the infantry based ones as theoretically a Range 4 unit can be kept at a squares length by the Range 6 'copters.
At the moment I'm thinking between double Heinrichs for small games, double Luthers for medium and a SturmKonig for 300pt games. Any opinions ?

Happy Thursday! Only one more day, then it's time for the weekend! Keeping with the Japan theme, here is an infographic on the Fukushima reactor. As many of you know, Japan just experienced some pretty traumatizing natural disasters. As a result of these disasters, nuclear reactors in Japan have been negatively affected. To give you a little more insight as to what is happening I provide today's infographic for your viewing pleasure. [via]

Lembeh '06 Favorite of the Day, June 19, 2006
One of my very favorite subjects to shoot is the tunicate. They come in all different sizes, shapes and colors. Some are translucent, and some are opaque. Some only reveal their beauty when touched with light. Some of the prettiest ones look like glass sculpture to me. This photo has many tunicates of different colors and some different types as well.
