Celeste will be going to Boston for surgery on the 9th--
She is one of the nicest ladies here on the forum. I know how much you all helped me during my past surgeries etc. Celeste's mother is also in a nursing home which is upsetting for her and we all know about her problems with her daughters.

THANK YOU, Florence....Ingrid, Deb, & Kathy, for your well-wishes. I have a minute here at work to sneak in my last opportunity to post for awhile and wanted to say I appreciate your support. It has been a rough winter to say the least, but I love all of you and the snow is finally starting to melt (although there's still plenty)....rose season is getting closer! I leave in the morning for Boston (2 hours away)for my surgery. Wouldn't you just know it.....my very large orders of bareroots will be arriving on Friday! They will be soaking for a good long while. When I ordered them back in early January I did not know I would need surgery. Doctor says I cannot do any lifting or return to work for a minimum of 3 weeks. My DH said he will get all those holes dug for me, but I insist upon doing the actual planting myself because I am very particular about my roses and God help Jim if he plants them wrong....LOL. To summarize what has been going on with Mom....she fell a week ago and broke her hip....she is 84 and has Alzheimer's and is very frail (85 pounds). The doctor warned us that she might not make it through surgery, but she did and is now in a nursing home, which is breaking my heart. Every night when I have to leave, I wait until I am in the parking lot to start crying....I make sure to appear brave and strong around Mom. She is very confused about where she is and what is happening to her. I make sure to love her to pieces and spoil her as much as I can. She's a special little lady. About my daughter, Grace....back in November I posted here about how her boyfriend (they lived with us) stole from us and that I had to kick him out. Despite our pleading, she followed him to Florida and remains there. To say that I am heartbroken is to put it mildly. Since she left, she has lost all her possessions which she put in a storage unit up here and which the boyfriend did not keep up payments, even though he told her he was. All her things were auctioned off. Grace worked since she was 15 (she's 22) to buy nice things and to furnish their apartment before they were evicted The b.f. does not keep a job and does drugs, steals, etc. He lost his N.H. driver's license because he does not pay child support for his 2 kids. Everything he ever owned was paid for by Grace and she has always supported him, stood up for him even though he has stolen from her and her family. We are bewildered and devastated that someone so smart, loving, and hard-working would throw her life away for such a loser. I told DH that when they put me "under" tomarrow I will be thinking of my roses. They bring me so much comfort and happiness, just thinking about them. Thank you, guys, for your good thoughts...you're the best! Celeste |

You have my prayers for a quick recovery, also prayers for your Mom and your daughters. Sincerely, |
What Brenda said, and prays. For your Mom, if you can't visit daily, can you arrange to call her? Just your voice might keep her connected a bit longer. ASK her nurses what time of the day she is at her best and call then. With my FIL, mornings are better. Afternoons are addled. Evenings he gets sentences out, but the word order isn't right. For you and your Mom, find out the BEST time. It will give you something to look forward to. For your daughters: prayers. Ann |
You will be in my thoughts and prayers. |
Good luck Celeste! Sorry to hear Grace's situation hasn't gotten better :( Sorry to read about your mom. It's so hard, especially when we are so close to them. It feels like yesterday that I was caring for my dad but it's been 2 years. Let us know you're ok. |
Celeste, I'll be sending my prayers tomorrow, and positive energy too. I hope your recovery goes smoothly and quickly, and that you have peace in your family soon. |
Wishing you the best of luck with your surgery. There will come a time when Grace will realize she can't remain in that relationship any longer and will leave him and be stonger for it. |

Celeste - good luck with your surgery. And I'm so sorry to hear about your mom's health and the troubles your girls are having. For sure you and your family will be in my thoughts & prayers. Hang in there! |

Celeste, You and your family will be in our prayers. Take care and think happy rose thoughts. Good things will come. Tammy |
Celeste, I hope all goes well with your surgery and that you'll have a speedy recovery. I know how it is when your Mom has surgery too. I'm glad yours is recovering from hers. My mom was a little bitty lady too. |

I will pray for you Celeste and for your strength to endure the grief and powerlessness about your daughters situation. It simply breaks a parents heart to see the children getting hurt. May you recover quickly from the surgery. Niels |

I am so sorry, Celeste, for all of your pain about your daughter and mother. I know that the Lord has answered many, many of my prayers, and I will pray for your daughter and for your surgery. |
Dear Celeste, I am saddened to hear you are still going through a rough time with your family and now surgery for yourself. Please concentrate on getting yourself well first. You are going to need all the strength you can muster to get you through this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Having the new growing season and your rose santuary to think about when your head is full of other things, will be a good escape when times get rough! Try and go there often, if only in your thoughts. |

Celeste, I will add you to my prayers. I have been through much of the same trials and tribulations with my daughters. You are smart to include yourself in the counseling along with your daughter. It is amazing. We all find solace in our roses...in our own way. Artemis |

Different from what...from the last time they saw it in FL? Are they talking about the comparison between the CA and FL versions of the show?
The original Fantasmic in the Disneyland park in Anaheim, CA does differ from the Fantasmic in the DHS park in Florida.
The main differences I can recall without googling:
DL- on the water in Frontierland
MK - In the Hollywood Hills Amphitheatre
DL - park your bottom on the walkway
MK - bleacher style seating in the above mentioned place
DL - Peter Pan Hook scene
MK - Pocahontas scene
DL - really uses both the Mark Twain and the sailing ship Columbia that you can board and visit during the day time
MK - Uses a "prop" version of a steam boat and nothing like the other ship is used....well there are Pocahontas canoes...
My preference is the DL one. And as far as I know, the version in FL hasn't been changed in years.

The 2013 Legislature ought allow counties' "permanent" absentee voter lists to really be permanent.
Montana law provides that voters can request that they receive mailed, absentee ballots for all elections. However, that request must be renewed annually.
Last week, the Yellowstone County elections office mailed out about 60,000 notices — one to each person on the 2012 absentee list. Postage alone for that mailing cost $12,000, not including paper or labor, or return postage paid by voters. Each voter who wants to get all mailed ballots this year must check a box, sign and return the request form to the elections office.
Each year about 80 percent of voters who get those confirmation letters respond saying they want to keep getting mailed absentee ballots, according to Bret Rutherford, county elections administrator.
The 20 percent who don't respond include folks who thought they were already on the list and didn't need to send in the form again (although the form says they have to send it in). The elections staff hears from these voters closer to elections when they call to say they haven't gotten the absentee ballot they expected.
In Billings, this annual reconfirmation is an even bigger waste of time because the school board elections in May and the City Council elections this fall will be conducted by all mail ballot. All eligible voters will get an absentee ballot anyway.
There is a remedy for this wasteful statutory requirement. Last week, the draft of LC0496 was completed at the request of Rep. Ted Washburn, R-Bozeman. The bill would add an option to the standard Montana absentee ballot application, so the voter could request: "an absentee ballot to be mailed to me for as long as I reside at the address listed."
Perennial absentee list
A voter would be removed from the proposed "perennial absentee ballot list" upon written request to his county elections office.
If voters move, the elections office will know because, ballots cannot be forwarded and will come back to the office, Rutherford said. In that case, the office then sends a forwardable notice to the voter, advising him how to get a ballot.
This bill was requested by the Montana Association of Clerks and Recorders and Election Administrators. Some clerks in smaller population counties want to send out annual confirmations, so LC0496 allows that option.
Where tens of thousands of notices would be required, and experience has shown that 8 of 10 will ask to stay on the list, it makes sense to give voters the option of stating their desire to stay on the list permanently.
Months of data re-entry
Finally, Rutherford notes that under present law requiring annual renewals, his office must re-enter all voter absentee list data annually because all the data disappears from the state voter data base on Feb. 1. Four Yellowstone County elections employees spend three months re-entering data as voter absentee list requests come back. If the list were permanent, the data wouldn't have to be deleted or re-entered.
We call on Yellowstone County lawmakers to urge Rep. Washburn to introduce this bill soon and to support it with their votes.
There are dozens of controversial elections bills this session. LC0496 shouldn't be controversial; it's simply common sense.

Criterion Files #123: How Cameras Changed Everything in 'Grey Gardens'
Criterion Files By Landon Palmer on March 4, 2011 | Be the First To CommentI had the privilege of seeing the surviving Maysles brother, Albert, do a Q&A after a public screening of Grey Gardens (1976). During the discussion, somebody asked him the inevitable question regarding how the presence of the camera changed the very subject he was documenting. It's an interesting and essential question for any documentary filmmaker to consider, especially when one is engaging in the direct verite style rather than a traditional retrospective style, because it's simplistic for the filmmaker to consider themselves "objective" or "invisible" when putting a camera on their subject: the presence of the camera changes things. Albert Maylsles responded with an amusing story about how the conversations the brothers heard between "Big Edie" and "Little Edie" outside the house when not filming were exactly the same as when they were inside. While this is no doubt the case as the eccentric Beales would certainly "be themselves" no matter the occasion or circumstance, with all due respect Mr. Maysles's assessment of the question was a bit too narrow. Putting cameras within the aging walls of Grey Gardens did, in fact, change everything.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- JetBlue Airways (Nasdaq:JBLU) today announces a comprehensive customer promise and compensation program called "The JetBlue Customer Bill of Rights."
To view JetBlue's Customer Bill of Rights, click here:http://media.primezone.com/cache/2989/file/3787.pdf
Key provisions of the JetBlue Customer Bill of Rights are below, and have been made retroactive to Feb. 14, 2007:
-- JetBlue will notify customers of the following: - Delays prior to scheduled departure - Cancellations and their cause - Diversions and their cause -- JetBlue will take the necessary action to deplane customers if an aircraft is ground-delayed for five hours. JetBlue Captains have discretion if the aircraft is positioned and almost ready for take-off. -- If a flight lands and is unable to taxi in to a gate right away, the following compensation will be made for customers: Delayed 30-60 minutes Customers receive a $25 voucher valid toward the purchase of their next JetBlue flight Delayed 1-2 hours Customers receive a $100 voucher Delayed 2-3 hours Customers receive a voucher for the full amount of their one-way fare. Delayed more than 4 hours Customers receive a voucher for the full amount of their round trip. Note: JetBlue fares are all one-way; round trip purchase is never required. -- If a flight has a ground delay on departure, the following compensation applies: Delayed 3-4 hours Customers receive a $100 voucher Delayed more than 4 hours Customers receive a voucher in the full amount of the customer's original round trip. -- If a flight is cancelled within 12 hours of scheduled departure, and it is a situation within the control of the company (as opposed to weather or ATC delays), customers may choose a full refund or a full credit, as well as a voucher valued at the cost of their original round-trip. -- If JetBlue delays a flight in a situation within the company's control, customers can expect the following compensation: Delayed 1-2 hours Customers receive $25 voucher Delayed 2-4 hours Customers receive $50 voucher Delayed 4-6 hours Customers receive a voucher valid for the full amount of their one-way fare. Note: JetBlue fares are all one-way; round trip purchase is never required. Delayed more than 6 hours Customers will receive a voucher for the full amount of their round trip.
"This was a big wake-up call for JetBlue," said JetBlue Founder and CEO David Neeleman. "If there's a silver lining, it is the fact that our airline is going to be stronger and even better prepared to serve our customers. In addition, I want to publicly apologize to JetBlue's crewmembers -- the best in the industry -- and I promise to get the right resources, tools and support for them going forward, so that they in turn can deliver the JetBlue Experience you have come to expect from us."
In addition to the key provisions of the JetBlue Customer Bill of Rights listed above, the airline will form a customer advisory council, who will be consulted with regarding ongoing improvement programs.
JetBlue is taking immediate actions to address inefficiencies in its response plans. Actions already taken include new communication strategies with inflight and pilot crewmembers in the event of a system disruption, so that the airline can reset the operation faster, after the external disruption event ends.
Other areas under immediate review include:
-- Cross-training non-operational crewmembers and assigning secondary responsibilities to support the operation in the event of a significant disruption -- Improving functionality on jetblue.com to support customer needs and allow JetBlue reservations and central baggage to maintain low on-hold time for customers -- Improving communications at the airport, so information on available aircraft, flight crews and ground conditions is uniformly shared and decisions based on the most reliable data
Please visit www.jetblue.com/promise for more information and updates.
The airline will host a tele-conference with news media that will be simultaneously webcast. Please listen via: http://w.on24.com/r.htm?e=38599&s=1&k=F78D8AE980D12A007E8ECE1955AF477D

It's growing on private property. I will try to have cuttings available again this coming spring for those who contact me late February. Bob |
Bob, I had the cuttings saved since last year in the fridge. Last month I started rooting them and they're growing nicely now. Did you ever get to see the fruit last summer? Bass |
How bigs the tree Bob thanks. |

Epidemiological Profile of HIV/AIDS in Minnesota
Risk Populations: American Indians
Download this document: (PDF: 341KB/2 pages) or (MS Word: 55KB/2 pages)
HIV/AIDS Prevalence among American Indians
As of December 31st 2012, there were 132 American Indians living with HIV/AIDS in Minnesota. Although this only accounts for 2 percent of persons living with HIV/AIDS in Minnesota, American Indian persons have more than twice the rate of people living with HIV than white, non-Hispanic persons (238.2 per 100,000 persons and 87.4 per 100,000 persons respectively).
While the number of cases among American Indians in Minnesota has been relatively stable and low it is important to note this group has been found to have their race misclassified often by providers. A study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the HIV/AIDS Surveillance data for five states found that thirty percent of American Indian cases were misclassified, mostly as shite (Bertolli et al., 2007). It is possible that similar misclassification occurs in the Minnesota data and impacts the reported number of cases for American Indians in the state.
HIV Diagnoses among American Indians
Over the past ten years, new infections among American Indians has remained relatively low with an average of 8 new diagnoses a year with lows of 4 diagnoses in 2005 and 2011 and a high of 12 diagnoses in 2010. In 2012, there were 10 HIV/AIDS diagnoses among American Indians, five each male and female.
Gender and Mode of Exposure
Of the 16 American Indian males diagnosed between 2010 and 2012, 54 percent had an estimated mode of exposure of MSM, 23 percent MSM/IDU, 15 percent IDU and 8 percent heterosexual contact. Of the 11 American Indian females diagnosed between 2010 and 2012, 90 percent had an estimated mode of exposure of heterosexual contact and 10 percent IDU. However, the number of cases among American Indian men and women during the years 2010-2012 are insufficient to make further generalizations regarding risk.
Compared to other race/ethnicities, HIV positive American Indian persons living with HIV/AIDS, have a higher percentage of people living in Greater Minnesota at 19 percent. This is not surprising since there are several Indian reservations in Greater Minnesota.
HIV Treatment Cascade among American Indians
There were 122 HIV positive American Indians included in the HIV Treatment Cascade (PDF: 952KB/2 pages) analyses. Compared to the overall treatment cascade in Minnesota, American Indians have a higher percentage in retention in care, but lower percent of the population virally suppressed. There were too few HIV/AIDS diagnoses among American Indians in 2011 to display a bar for retention in care.

Blizzard and how they deal with ninjas
So what does all this mean? We've heard in the past that Blizzard will occasionally help with ninjas, and we've even heard unofficially that if you get the main looter in a PuG raid to state the looting conditions ahead of time, Blizzard can go back, look that up, and then reward loot based on who really deserves it. But of course, all of that is unofficial, and there are so many variations and issues in situations like these that there can't really be a hard and fast rule -- sometimes Blizzard can help, sometimes they can't.

Child Up Early Learning Game Cards & Early Zoo App #WIN
Teaching my babies has always been important to me. With my older boys we incorporated songs and games to get them to know their body parts, letters and numbers. I really believe that little ones are much more capable to learn more than most people give them credit for. The only thing is you have to put in the time. Child Up Early Learning Game Cards incorporates learning your numbers and adds learning animals at the same time. The first pack of cards is Teach Your Child To Count to 10 features 40 animals while showcasing the numbers 0-10. I really like the simplicity of this. You can sit your baby on your lap and show him a card and take his little finger and count along. I especially like to count out and use his finger to point to each animal. To make it a little more fun I make the animal sound too. Jace enjoyed the time as well. He is already a huge fan of books so it was close enough for him to be interested. We didn't do hours of time with the activity just go through two sets of numbers twice. About 10 minutes of time. While he can't tell me anything yet because he isn't talking I know he is listening and learning.
Additional product information:
Child Up Early Learning Game Cards come in two varieties: Teach Your Child to Count to 10 and Teach Your Child to Count to 20. Each features 40 animals. Included is 64 cards (16 Parent's and 48 Child's).
- For Boys & Girls
- Ages 1-5
- Teaches Math & Logic skils
- Learning & Cognitive
- Language & social skills
You can purchase Child Up Early Learning Game Cards directly from their website: Childup.com.
I also had the opportunity to try out Child Up's Early Zoo App. This was a cute interatctive app that teaches zoology. It features 80 different animals. This app was really cute! I loved that you could listen to the animal sounds (when applicable). It is broken into 7 different categories of animals which is nice too because you can focus on one section.
You can download this app at Itunes.com.

NPR Check's Mytwords finds it (11/13/08) particularly "telling that on the day after the release of a report on the 'shattered lives' of released Guantanamo detainees," National Public Radio's Morning Edition was "doing the awful work of convincing listeners that closing the prison camp will be a lot more complicated than they might have thought":
Listen in vain to NPR's report for anyone mentioning torture, war crimes, violations of international law at Guantanamo. Conveniently, with such acts unmentioned, the issue of accountability and restitution never comes up. For [the segment's reporter, Jackie] Northam, the only important issue is the difficulties that closing Guantanamo will present for the U.S. government, "specifically what to do with the roughly 250 prisoners still held at Guantanamo."
To articulate the quandaries of the poor, befuddled U.S. government, who better to turn to than U.S. government/military insiders such as Scott Silliman… Commander Glen Sulmasy (of the Coast Guard Academy), and Matthew Waxman (of the Pentagon, State Department and Hoover Institution)?
Mytwords noticed just "one outsider" in the story, and he was only permitted "a very brief comment on favorable international attitudes to the new Obama administration."

Scottish separatists win majority in local elections
PUBLISHED: 07 May 2011 06:02:31 | UPDATED: 07 May 2011 06:28:01PRINT EDITION: 07 May 2011
The Scottish National Party won a majority in Scotland's parliamentary election and its leader promised on Friday to hold a vote on independence from the UK, while in Britain, the Liberal Democrats suffered a massive defeat.
Voters in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland elected members of regional legislatures on Thursday and hundreds of local council seats were at stake around Britain.
A national referendum was also held on whether to change Britain's parliamentary election system. Those votes were still being counted on Friday, but earlier polls suggested voters would reject changing the system in which the candidate with the most votes wins the seat.
While results were still incomplete on Friday, the SNP became the first party since Scotland's regional government was formed in 1999 to win a majority of the 129 seats in the Scottish Parliament.
By midafternoon, the SNP had won 65 seats, a bare majority; Labour had 29, Conservatives nine and others five.
Voters appeared to approve how the Scottish National Party has led a coalition government over the past four years and also backed programs to preserve free university tuition and to give the elderly free personal care.
In local elections across Britain, the Liberal Democrats lost 450 council seats even as ballot counting continued. That was a massive defeat for the junior partner in Prime Minister David Cameron's Conservative-led coalition government, and sparked fresh calls for the resignation of party leader Nick Clegg, who is also Cameron's deputy.
The Liberal Democrats lost control of six local councils including Sheffield, Clegg's own town.
"We have taken a real knock last night. But we need to get up, dust ourselves down and move on," said Clegg.
The Conservatives gained nearly a hundred council seats.
Cameron, who marked his first year in office on Friday, said his party had "fought a strong campaign explaining why we took difficult decisions to sort out the mess we inherited from Labour."
Inflation has been surging in Britain, despite sluggish growth and harsh spending cuts that are slashing government jobs and hiking university tuition fees.
The parliamentary election system votes were still being counted on Friday, but earlier polls suggested voters would reject changing the system in which the candidate with the most votes wins the seat.
The Liberal Democrats had supported the Alternate Vote system, where voters rank candidates in order of preference. The winner is the first candidate to secure a majority, either in the first round of counting or in succeeding rounds by picking up votes as the lowest-ranked candidates are eliminated.
Despite its worst showing in 80 years in Scotland, the Labour Party just missed a majority in the Welsh Assembly, winning 30 of the 60 seats.
Elsewhere, votes were being counted Friday to determine whether Northern Ireland is led by a British Protestant as usual or by an Irish Catholic for the first time. Final results expected Saturday.
Analysts said Labour's campaign theme that a vote for the Scottish National Party was a vote for independence had backfired.
"I voted for the SNP this time, but I'm not in favour of independence," said Alex Burns, 44, from Edinburgh. "Scotland would have gone bankrupt if it had been outside the UK during this economic crisis."
Opinion polls since the 1990s have found support for independence hovering at around 30 per cent.
"The SNP have been shown trust by the people in a way no party ever has before in a Scottish election," party leader Alex Salmond said, promising to bring an independence vote in the next four-year term. "We'll take it forward to increase the powers of our parliament."
One question likely to be asked is how Scotland would have fared by itself with the near collapse of two gigantic banks based in Edinburgh: the Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds Banking Group, which were both part-nationalised following the worldwide credit crisis in 2008.
Professor Susan Deacon, a former Labour minister, welcomed the prospect of a referendum.
"It is a nonsense to say that a vote for the SNP is a vote for independence, Labour overplayed that and lost over that point," she said.

While this blog usually focuses on theory and modeling customer satisfaction and loyalty, it will, from time-to-time, discuss topics that are a little outside the normal discourse. Such is the case today where brief discussion of customer capital has some relevance to the topic of satisfaction and loyalty. This blog is the result of re-reading a book published in 1997 titled "Intellectual Capital" and was written by Thomas A. Stewart. Reviewing some of his concepts about how companies and customers can interact gave me some ideas that relate customer capital to loyalty. The idea is that both the company and its customers have knowledge that may yield greater benefit and loyalty when combined.
Successful companies will invest in employees because they know that employees are knowledge sources for the company. As employees become better trained and knowledgeable, they also become more likely to create knowledge assets, usually referred to intellectual property.
But when we examine the company from a broader perspective the question becomes can the company also form a relationship with its customers that might create knowledge assets? The obvious answer is yes. The combined resources of the company and its customers can very likely create knowledge that may provide new asset value to both. This seems to be an opportunity that many companies are missing.
It is clear that when a company solves a customer problem there may be some new knowledge created from the solution. However, these circumstances where new knowledge is created are more spontaneous that planned and rarely make it into any category of either the company or its customer that would identify the new knowledge as capital. Some of the more dramatic company-customer solutions may lead to a shared patent or copyright as well as a stronger relation with the customer. Another benefit of these new knowledge solutions might be another way to differentiate a product or service from the competition and lead to increased margins.
The bottom line is the company-customer interface is rarely seen as a place to create new knowledge capital even though the benefits are obvious and may actually lead to significant product and service breakthroughs. The challenge is to change the way we look at customers. Customers are no longer simply a source of revenue. They also bring the opportunity to create knowledge capital jointly with the company that can lead to a stronger customer relationship with the company as well as create barriers to competition that are built from the new knowledge.

About 80% of the Congolese population are Christian, predominantly Roman Catholic. Most of the non-Christians adhere to either traditional religions or syncretic sects. Traditional religions embody such concepts as monotheism, animism, vitalism, spirit and ancestor worship, witchcraft, and sorcery and vary widely among ethnic groups; none is formalized. The syncretic sects often merge Christianity with traditional beliefs and rituals. The most popular of these sects, Kimbanguism, was seen as a threat to the colonial regime and was banned by the Belgians. Kimbanguism, officially "the church of Christ on Earth by the prophet Simon Kimbangu," now has about 3 million members, primarily among the Bakongo of Bas-Congo and Kinshasa. In 1969, it was the first independent African church admitted to the World Council of Churches.
Before independence, education was largely in the hands of religious groups. The primary school system was well-developed at independence; however, the secondary school system was limited, and higher education was almost nonexistent in most regions of the country. The principal objective of this system was to train low-level administrators and clerks. Since independence, efforts have been made to increase access to education, and secondary and higher education have been made available to many more Congolese. Despite the deterioration of the state-run educational system in recent years, about 80% of the males and 65% of females, ages 6-11, were enrolled in a mixture of state- and church-run primary schools in 1996. At higher levels of education, males greatly outnumber females. The elite continues to send their children abroad to be educated, primarily in Western Europe.
Within the first year of independence, several events destabilized the country: the army mutinied; the governor of Katanga province attempted secession; a UN peacekeeping force was called in to restore order; Prime Minister Lumumba died under mysterious circumstances; and Col. Joseph Mobutu (later Mobutu Sese Seko) took over the government and ceded it again to President Kasavubu.
Unrest and rebellion plagued the government until 1965, when Lieutenant General Mobutu, by then commander in chief of the national army, again seized control of the country and declared himself president for 5 years. Mobutu quickly centralized power into his own hands and was elected unopposed as president in 1970. Embarking on a campaign of cultural awareness, Mobutu renamed the country the Republic of Zaire and required citizens to adopt African names. Relative peace and stability prevailed until 1977 and 1978 when Katangan rebels, staged in Angola, launched a series of invasions into the Katanga region. The rebels were driven out with the aid of Belgian paratroopers.
During the 1980s, Mobutu continued to enforce his one-party system of rule. Although Mobutu successfully maintained control during this period, opposition parties, most notably the Union pour la Democratie et le Progres Social (UDPS), were active. Mobutu's attempts to quell these groups drew significant international criticism.
As the Cold War came to a close, internal and external pressures on Mobutu increased. In late 1989 and early 1990, Mobutu was weakened by a series of domestic protests, by heightened international criticism of his regime's human rights practices, and by a faltering economy. In May 1990 Mobutu agreed to the principle of a multi-party system with elections and a constitution. As details of a reform package were delayed, soldiers in September 1991 began looting Kinshasa to protest their unpaid wages. Two thousand French and Belgian troops, some of whom were flown in on U.S. Air Force planes, arrived to evacuate the 20,000 endangered foreign nationals in Kinshasa.
In 1992, after previous similar attempts, the long-promised Sovereign National Conference was staged, encompassing over 2,000 representatives from various political parties. The conference gave itself a legislative mandate and elected Archbishop Laurent Monsengwo as its chairman, along with Etienne Tshisekedi, leader of the UDPS, as prime minister. By the end of the year Mobutu had created a rival government with its own prime minister. The ensuing stalemate produced a compromise merger of the two governments into the High Council of Republic-Parliament of Transition (HCR-PT) in 1994, with Mobutu as head of state and Kengo Wa Dondo as prime minister. Although presidential and legislative elections were scheduled repeatedly over the next 2 years, they never took place.
By 1996, tensions from the neighboring Rwanda war had spilled over to Zaire. Rwandan Hutu militia forces (Interahamwe), who had fled Rwanda following the ascension of a Tutsi-led government, had been using Hutu refugees camps in eastern Zaire as a basis for incursion against Rwanda. These Hutu militia forces soon allied with the Zairian armed forces (FAZ) to launch a campaign against Congolese ethnic Tutsis in eastern Zaire. In turn, these Tutsis formed a militia to defend themselves against attacks.
The Tutsi militia was soon joined by various opposition groups and supported by several countries, including Rwanda and Uganda. This coalition, led by Laurent-Desire Kabila, became known as the Alliance des Forces Democratiques pour la Liberation du Congo-Zaire (AFDL). The AFDL, now seeking the broader goal of ousting Mobutu, made significant military gains in early 1997. Following failed peace talks between Mobutu and Kabila in May 1997, Mobutu left the country, and Kabila marched unopposed to Kinshasa on May 20. Kabila named himself president, consolidated power around himself and the AFDL, and renamed the country the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Despite some successes at improving internal security and lowering the inflation rate over his first year, Kabila was unable to control insurgent activities by various armed groups. Activities by Hutu ex-FAR/Interahamwe, Mai-Mai soldiers, and a February 1998 mutiny by Tutsi Banyamulenge destabilized the regime. In addition, Kabila's pledges to democratize the government over time contrasted with the reality of banned political parties and increasingly centralized power. Criticism of Kabila's government grew both domestically and within the international community.
In an attempt to stabilize the country and consolidate his control, President Kabila in August 1998 expelled the Rwandan troops remaining in DROC after his 1997 victory. This prompted army mutinies in Kinshasa and the Kivu provinces in the east. Although the Kinshasa mutiny was put down, the mutiny in the Kivus continued and mushroomed into a drive to topple the government. Opposing the Kabila government were factions of the Rally for Congolese Democracy (RCD), Rwanda, and Uganda. The Movement for the Liberation of Congo (MLC), another rebel group, emerged later. Defending the Kabila government were the former Rwandan army (ex-FAR)/Interahamwe militia, Angola, Namibia, Chad, Zimbabwe, and the Congolese army (FAC).
In July 1999 a cease-fire was proposed in Lusaka, Zambia. The Lusaka Peace Accord calls for a cease-fire, an international peacekeeping operation, and the beginning of a "national dialogue" on the future of the country. Signed by all major groups, the prospects for lasting peace remain uncertain.

Industry, especially mining, remains a great potential source of wealth for DROC. In 1997, industry accounted for 16.9% of GDP. The Congo was the world's fourth-largest producer of industrial diamonds during the 1980s, and diamonds continue to dominate exports, accounting for $717 million or 52% of exports in 1997. The Congo's main copper and cobalt interests are dominated by Gecamines, the state-owned mining giant. Gecamines production has faltered in recent years, due in part to a competitive world copper market.
Despite the country's vast potential, under the Mobutu regime widespread corruption, economic controls, and the diversion of public resources for personal gain thwarted economic growth. The unrecorded and illicit transactions of Zaire's unofficial economy were estimated in the early 1990s to be three times the size of official GDP.
The Congo's record with multilateral and bilateral donors has been uneven. Despite a succession of economic plans financed by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) since independence, budgetary imbalance, inflation, and debt consistently plagued the Mobutu government. In early 1990, both the World Bank and the IMF suspended most disbursements, and most bilateral aid was cut off. Unable to make debt payments, Zaire's borrowing rights with the IMF were cut off in February 1992; its World Bank credits were frozen in July 1993. Despite the introduction of a new currency, the New Zaire (NZ), currency issuance remained disorderly, and largescale inflation rose to over 9,000% by early 1994.
In May 1997 the AFDL, led by Laurent Kabila, overthrew the regime of Mobutu Sese Seko. Under President Kabila the government and state enterprises began a program of reconstruction. The government began to reform the corrupt tax system, civilian police force, and repair the damaged road system.
In August 1998, a war broke out in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. At that time, some progress had been made in the economic reconstruction of the country, but major problems continued to exist in transportation infrastructure, customs administration, and the tax system. Government finances had not been put in order and relations with the IMF and World Bank were in disarray. Much of the government's revenue was kept "off book," and not included in published statistics on revenue and expenditure. Relations with the World Bank were on hold as a result of the government's failure to finalize an agreement for administration of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) Trust Fund for the Congo.
The outbreak of war in the early days of August 1998 caused a major decline in economic activity that continues to the present. The country has been divided into rebel- and government-held territories, and commerce between them has stopped. The economic and commercial links among the various sections of the country are not strong, but they are important.
After a surge in inflation during August 1998, the government began enforcing price control laws. It also began regulating foreign exchange markets. Taken together, these measures have severely damaged the ability of businesses depending on imports to continue operations. The wide spread between the official rate for buying the new currency, Congo francs (FCs), and the black market rate for buying dollars has squeezed merchants forced to price their imported goods according to the official rate for buying local currency.
Faced with continued currency depreciation, the government resorted to more drastic measures and on January 1999 banned the widespread use of U.S. dollars for all domestic commercial transactions, a position it later adjusted. The government has been unable to provide foreign exchange for economic transactions, while it has resorted to printing money to finance its expenditure.
Relations with surrounding countries have often been driven by security concerns. Intricate and interlocking alliances have often characterized regional relations. Conflicts in Sudan, Uganda, Angola, Rwanda, and Burundi have at various times created bilateral and regional tensions. The current crisis in DROC has its roots both in the use of The Congo as a base by various insurgency groups attacking neighboring countries and in the absence of a broad-based political system in the Congo.
The U.S. appointed an ambassador in November 1995. A charge had headed the Zaire/DROC since March 1993. There is no current U.S. bilateral aid to the Congo except for grants to NGOs in direct support for human rights and democratization projects. The Congo has been on the State Department's travel advisory list since 1977.
The United States maintains an embassy at 310 Avenue des Aviateurs, Kinshasa (tel. 243-12-21028; fax 243-88-43805). Mailing address is American Embassy Kinshasa, Box 31550, APO AE 09828.

Zhang's character is based on her role in 2009's Sophie's Revenge, a more conventional romantic comedy. Here an unsuccessful manga artist toiling in obscurity at a travel agency, Sophie wins a vacation to Singapore, where she inadvertently becomes involved in an illegal arms deal when she bumps into secret agent David Yan (the handsome but stiff Leehom Wang).
David is after the stolen "Lucky Star," a diamond so large that the villainous Charlize Wong (Terri Kwan), aka the "Black Widow," plans to use it with a high-energy laser to blow up Bermuda. Charlize sends her henchman Gao (Jack Kao) to buy the jewel from fence Li Wan (Morris Rong) in a Singapore nightclub.
That's when Sophie steps in, blowing David's cover and sending both on the run to the agent's island hideout. To make amends, Sophie dances in a Hong Kong strip club, but her efforts to seduce Li Wan there backfire. Then it's off to Macao, where Sophie battles Charlize over David's affections while arms dealers haggle over the laser weapon.
Directed by Dennie Gordon, a veteran of TV shows like "Burn Notice" and "Ally McBeal" as well as the feature Joe Dirt, My Lucky Star opens strong, blending day-glo colors, CGI gimmicks and animated sequences with upscale pan-Asian locations to build a posh, seductive but still jittery world for Sophie and her friends.
The movie tries to maintain a lighthearted, tongue-in-cheek tone, but the script is a hodgepodge of dead ends and red herrings. The only real joke is that Sophie, a world-class klutz, is played by one of the screen's most glamorous stars. Zhang looks great in her gamin bangs and micro-miniskirts, but it's tough, maybe impossible, for her to play stupid.
Having a block of wood for a co-star doesn't help. Wang seems mannerly and looks good in his costumes, but even a swimming pool upstages him here. Standouts in the cast include Yao Chen and Ruby Lin, who play Sophie's motor-mouth friends. Their catty bickering is better executed than the movie's attempts at espionage suspense.
In spite of its drawbacks, My Lucky Star is always fun to watch and better than, say, a Jennifer Aniston/Gerard Butler vehicle. Bonus: Zhang and Wang sing a duet over the closing credits.

Painted Pillows
I've been on a bit of a pillow kick lately. My couches are really boring and Rhubarb in her puppy days had a thing for ball fringe. So any pillow I had is long gone. I challenged myself to make a new pillow every month this year. That way I would have a eclectic collection on my couches. I started last month with my crochet flower pillow. It ended up on a different couch. Hmm....
But this month it's painted pillows! I painted up a bunch of different designs on canvas and then stitched them up with some black and white and ball fringe.
And for some reason these pillows look good on my porch. Hmm, again. Still don't have any pillows for my couch.
Maybe next months pillows will make it there.
Have a great day,

These are fantastic!! I love the bright fun colours :) These would make me smile walking into the room! Great job! Will you sell these in your shop? I think they would do well!
ReplyDeleteI love these! What a great idea... I also love the new look and layout of your blog. I know you changed it weeks ago - but just got around to letting you know :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat type of paint did you use? The canvas must have been heavy to sew and turn. You artist skills shine through. I also love the pompom trim. Great job.

You are not an underdog.
Session two of Catalyst, featuring an opener by Leonce Crump and a session with Malcolm Gladwell, took what you know of the old David & Goliath and turns it upside down. Which means, of course, that what you think about your underdog status might not actually be true.
Crump set the tone with a reminder that when we place our identities in what we do, we will eventually find ourselves to be failures. We mess up, and when that is our identity, we learn a painful lesson. When we place our identities in Christ, we won't be let down.
Gladwell, who recently released his book, David & Goliath, builds on where we place our identity to the potential power that can be found when it's in God.

Sabbatical Leave
1.00 Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to establish the means by which eligible, full-time faculty may be granted sabbatical leaves consistent with Article 27 of the CSU Faculty Bargaining Agreement. This policy is intended to reflect the University's commitment to the principles, goals, and ideals described in the CSUMB Vision Statement and to its core values.
2.00 Definition
Sabbatical leaves are paid leaves intended to provide an opportunity for full-time faculty to engage in research, scholarly, and creative activity, instructional improvement, or faculty retraining.
3.00 Eligibility
Full-time faculty members shall be eligible for a sabbatical leave if they have served full-time at CSU Monterey Bay for six (6) years in the seven (7) year period preceding the leave. To be eligible for a subsequent sabbatical leave, full-time faculty members must have served at least six (6) years after any previous sabbatical or difference in pay leave. Credit granted towards the completion of the probationary period for service elsewhere shall also apply towards fulfilling the eligibility requirements for a sabbatical.
4.00 Funding
The university shall budget sufficient funds annually to provide the number of no fewer sabbatical leaves than twelve percent (12%) of the total number of campus faculty unit employees eligible to apply for such leaves in that year. In addition, all applications for sabbatical leave at one-half (1/2) of full salary shall be approved if they meet the criteria set forth in provisions 27.5-27.8 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), and this policy.
5.00 Criteria
At all levels of review, applications for sabbatical leave shall be evaluated according to the appropriateness and benefits of the activities and the practicality of attaining the stated goals and outcomes of the sabbatical leave proposal. Appropriateness and benefits are related to the expanded and deepened definitions of the four areas of scholarship described in the current Retention, Tenure, and Promotion Policy and to the priorities set out in the CSUMB Vision Statement
5.1 Appropriateness
Sabbatical leaves may involve professional development, courses of study, creative or scholarly projects, or other experiences of a scope or nature not possible through normal workload assignments. Activities during sabbatical leave should promote more effective student learning or lead to increased mastery of the applicant's field or development of a new area of specialization.
5.2 Benefits
All sabbatical leave proposals should articulate clearly how the proposed activities will enable the applicant to better serve CSUMB students, Department and CSUMB missions and programs, and/or to meet local, regional, or statewide needs.
5.3 Practicality
Sabbatical leave proposals shall be clearly defined and articulated and shall state outcomes that are realistically attainable.
6.00 Authority
The President or designee shall grant sabbatical leaves after receiving recommendations from the Department RTP Committee and/or Department Chair, the Dean, University RTP Committee, and Provost. The Dean level recommendation shall ensure that any sabbatical leave granted shall not seriously disrupt course offerings or cause other undue hardship at the Department level. The University RTP Committee shall limit the number of recommended full pay sabbatical leaves to twelve percent (12%) of the total number of campus faculty unit employees eligible to apply for such leaves in that year. The President or designee shall notify all sabbatical leave applicants of the decision regarding their proposals consistent with the date specified in the Academic Personnel Calendar.
7.00 Types of Sabbatical Leaves
Successful applicants may select one semester at full pay or two semesters at half pay. Twelve-month librarians or counselors may select four months at full pay or eight months at half pay. A sabbatical leave of two semesters at half pay may be granted within a two consecutive academic year period (for example, Spring semester of one academic year and Fall semester of the following year).
8.00 Indemnification
Each sabbatical leave must be followed by a term of service to the university equal to the length of the sabbatical leave.
Final approval of a sabbatical leave shall not be granted until the applicant has filed with Academic Personnel a promissory note, the value of which is at least equal to the amount of salary to be paid during the leave. Such promissory note shall indemnify the State of California against loss in the event the faculty member fails to render the required service after the sabbatical leave.
Faculty members granted sabbatical leaves shall, within ninety (90) days of return to service, submit a written report of their leave activities to Academic Personnel for inclusion in their Personnel Action File. Copies of the report shall also be submitted to their Department Chair and College Dean.
9.00 Employment
Faculty members on sabbatical leave shall not accept employment elsewhere except in those instances where employment would contribute to the objective of the leave. In those instances, faculty members on sabbatical leave shall not accept additional employment without prior written approval of the President or designee.
10.00 Continuous Renewal
This policy shall be assessed in ten years from its effective date to determine its utility and effectiveness. This policy may be revised as necessary.
s/Dianne F. Harrison
Effective Date: August 20, 2007
Certification of Process
Reviewed by: Faculty Affairs Committee, Academic Senate Executive Committee, Academic Senate, Policy Facilitation Team, Academic Personnel
This policy was enacted March 15, 2005. Section 4.00 was revised August 2007 to comply with the new Collective Bargaining Agreement.

What is it: A colourful crayon that glides easily onto your lips, delivering a sheer wash of colour to leave lips looking plump, nourished, soft and kissable. It is available in 6 different shades and offers build-able colour.
How does it work: A blend of butters, oils and antioxidants, infused with shea butter, mango seed butter and Jojoba oil deliver a surge of moisture to the lips and leaving healthy, soft and supple lips with a translucent wash of colour.
How much does it cost/where can I buy it: Buy it from your local Clinique counter at the recommended retail price of R175.
Consumer Tip: The wide rounded crayon allows for easy application without a mirror and the twist up base means you don't need to know where your sharpener is.
Pro Tip: A great product for beach shoots and "natural" makeup shots – adding colour for camera with no additional texture past the point of "healthy shine."
How I believe the product could improve: Add a broad spectrum SPF and it would be day lip perfection in crayon form – though if that meant compromising on texture I'd rather apply the sunshield before.
Since these Chubby Sticks are so very lovely – and since I have a couple to spare – I'm going to give away two of them to one lucky reader!
All you have to do is follow these 3 simple steps:
1) Like Samantha Laura Kaye on Facebook
2) Give me a reason you love the Chubby Sticks, or a reason for me to choose you in the comment section below.
3)Tweet the link to the competition – make sure to mention @slkaye so your tweet doesn't go unnoticed. If you are not on twitter you can share a link to this competition on Facebook.
Good luck kittens. Competion closes Friday 6th March at 13:00.

Sportland Bike Rental
Sportland Bike Rental is a tradition in the Wildwoods. Generations of families have enjoyed biking on the Wildwood Boardwalk as part of their family vacation.
In 1980, the Masterson family purchased Sportland Bike Rental from Mr. Whitey Hamilton who started the business in the 1930's... In the 26 years since, many things have taken place at the bike rental. Specialty bikes, including Surries, Choppers, and Side by Sides, have placed many different wheels on the boardwalk.
In 1993, a fire at our location destroyed the entire block of the boardwalk. What seemed like a tragedy at the time turned out to be a blessing. A new fire proof building replaced a building built in the 1930's. The Masterson family looks forward to each new season and seeing old friends and new customers, while they enjoy their special family vacation in the Wildwoods.

Drugs in the fluoroquinolone family are used for treating urinary tract infections as well as other infectious diseases.
Fluoroquinolone drugs include
- ciprofloxacin (Cipro)
- enoxacin (Penetrex)
- lomefloxacin (Maxaquin)
- norfloxacin (Noroxin)
- ofloxacin (Floxin)
- sparfloxacin (Zagam)
- levofloxacin (Levaquin)
- grepafloxacin (Raxar)
- trovafloxacin/alatrofloxacin (Trovan)
- and others
Take at a Different Time of Day
The minerals calcium, iron, magnesium, and zinccan interfere with the absorption of fluoroquinolones (and vice versa). Therefore, if you take supplements of these minerals, you should take them at least 2 hours before or after your fluoroquinolone dose.1,2
Possible Harmful Interaction
The herb fennel appears to reduce blood levels of ciprofloxacin, possibly impairing its effectiveness.3 This finding comes from a placebo-controlled study in rats. Fennel might be expected to interfere similarly with other fluoroquinolone antibiotics.
Allowing 2 hours between taking ciprofloxacin and fennel should reduce the potential for an interaction, but may not eliminate it. For this reason, it may be advisable to avoid fennel supplementation during therapy with ciprofloxacin or other antibiotics in this family.
Dong Quai, St. John's Wort
Possible Harmful Interaction
Fluoroquinolone antibiotics have been reported to cause increased sensitivity to the sun, amplifying the risk of sunburn or skin rash. Because St. John's wort and dong quai may also cause this problem, taking these herbal supplements during treatment with fluoroquinolone drugs might add to the risk.
It may be a good idea to wear a sunscreen or protective clothing during sun exposure if you take one of these herbs with a fluoroquinolone antibiotic.

Was this your wreckless teen in a gold Camry?
Tue, 05/29/2012 - 3:50pm
This afternoon while driving more than the speed limit on Harp Rd., someone in this car kept trying to pass me. She finally succeeded because I slowed, but she passed with a curve coming. She happened to be going my way down Hilo and I watched her ride another car's bumper only to go around it on a double yellow line again with a hill coming. I could not keep up with her as she was doing at least 55+ on this 35mph road. Parents---- Take the keys or she might not live to graduate next year as the writing suggests on the back window. She has a vanity plate that begins with the number 4. I won't post the name that begins with K.
