The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

By Patrick Donahue and Chris Reiter
Nov. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Germany's government agreed to buy a 7.5 percent
stake in European Aeronautic Defence and Space Co. after failing to find a
private investor, ensuring its sway over Europe's largest defense company
remains on a par with France's.
State-owned development bank KfW Group will acquire the shares, valued at
1.2 billion euros ($1.6 billion) at yesterday's close, from Daimler AG
next year and hold them until a long-term solution is reached, the Economy
Ministry said late yesterday. Germany will examine accelerating the sale
of its remaining stakes in Deutsche Telekom AG and Deutsche Post AG, a bid
to ease criticism over government meddling in industry.
Daimler, the maker of Mercedes-Benz cars, has been pressuring the
government for months to find a buyer for at least part of its holding as
it plows cash into the development of new cars and trucks. Under the
agreement that created EADS, the parent of Airbus SAS, investors from
France and Germany must hold balanced voting rights in the company.
"It would be very, very positive for Daimler to take a step forward in an
exit from EADS," said Albrecht Denninghoff, an analyst with Silvia Quandt
Research in Frankfurt.
Daimler, the maker of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, holds 15 percent in EADS and
controls the voting rights of an additional 7.5 percent stake held by
public and private banks. Daimler has said it would maintain its role as
Germany's representative in EADS. The company declined to comment
Power Balance
Chief Executive Officer Dieter Zetsche said in June the discussion can't
go on "forever." EADS CEO Louis Gallois said at the time that investors
would benefit from a higher free float of the stock. French publisher
Lagardere SCA owns 7.5 percent of EADS and also has management control
over France's 15 percent stake.
EADS, based in Paris and Munich, fell 4.3 percent to 19.97 euros yesterday
in the French capital. The stock has jumped 15 percent this year, valuing
the company at 16.4 billion euros. Daimler stock declined 1.9 percent to
33.605 euros.
Germany holds 32.3 percent of Deutsche Telekom, Europe's biggest phone
company, and 30.5 percent of former mail monopoly Deutsche Post, according
to Bloomberg data.
While yesterday's announcement signals the government's commitment to
privatization, market volatility and a lack of pressure on government
finances make an imminent disposal less likely, said a person familiar
with the matter, who declined to be identified because the talks are
Opposition Softened
It's also unlikely that the two former monopolies' shares will be sold
below the original purchase price to avoid the state having to pay KfW the
difference, the person said.
"Of course, the situation with the capital markets and the economy, as
well as the specific interests of the federal government, will be taken
into account," the ministry said yesterday.
After initially objecting to state involvement in EADS, Merkel's Free
Democratic coalition partners softened their objection to a purchase by
KfW. Juergen Koppelin, the ranking Free Democrat on the parliamentary
budget committee, said in February that his party could accept such a
scenario as a "temporary solution" until a private investor is found.
Merkel held talks with members of her Cabinet on Feb. 23 to agree on a
solution, with all sides pledging to maintain Germany's parity with
France. Then-Economy Minister Rainer Bruederle, who is now the FDP's
parliamentary caucus leader, said at the time that a "multitude of
scenarios" had been discussed. He reiterated his preference for a private
investor, though didn't rule out at least a temporary KfW purchase.
The maker of Mercedes-Benz cars and trucks was a founder of EADS by
contributing its Dasa aerospace unit to the planemaking and defense
company's formation in 2000. Daimler Chief Financial Officer Bodo Uebber,
who is also EADS's chairman, said in February that Daimler is interested
in acting as Germany's representative in EADS, even if it sells its

subset: commoncrawl

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (AP) — An eastern Idaho sheriff has been indicted on four felony counts involving misusing public money.

Last year I made my first ever New Year Resolution to do something healthy...and I failed. I decided I wanted to run a 7 minute mile and ended up at a 7:28 mile (mid-May was when I decided I was done). But now I realize that even if I had achieved my goal that there are drunk people who still run better than I do.
So that clears that up: You absolutely can drench Mark Wahlberg in semen in a trailer approved for all audiences. And you can also throw a Cookie Crisp into a man's butt crack. Thanks for maintaining your consistently high standards, MPAA!
One of our biggest issues with the first 'Terminator Genisys' trailer was that it was a little confusing. Not just the time travel, but the whole premise of the movie; is this a remake or a reboot or a sequel or some combination of all the above? This new 'Terminator' Super Bowl trailer doesn't attempt to address all those concerns in its allotted 30 seconds (probably because that would be impossible), but instead focuses on the action, which is something we can get behind.
Country's own Blake Shelton rocked the 'Saturday Night Live' stage in more ways than one last weekend.

About Paul and Dea
Paul has over 25 years of experience and extensive training in the Personal Protection field. During his career he has managed and consulted numerous Protection Details on a national & international basis. As a mentor, his expertise and guidance has led to fulfilling careers for many people wishing to enter the protection field. Over the years, Paul has built a network of trusted colleagues who are well respected in the security & firearm industry. People have relied on Paul's opinion regarding security, training and quality tactical gear which prompted him to open Survive The Encounter. He has also helped numerous professional and start up tactical gear companies perfect their product lines and introduce them to the market place.
Paul retired from the personal protection field in 2013. In appreciation to the security & firearm community he would like to pass on the knowledge he has gained over the years. Survive The Encounter will serve as a public information site for people interested in executive protection, firearm training, and quality tactical gear. Paul will continue to do product testing and evaluation for high end tactical gear companies. We will continue to offer consulting work and firearm training through a licensed colleague in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Dea is Paul's 14 year old daughter. She is focused on communicating public awareness and firearm safety to young people. Her awareness training began at 3 years old and her firearm safety training was introduced along the way. She has been asking her parents to help her build a platform to speak to young people for over 4 years so she can help them learn and trust their instincts and apply what their parents are teaching them about firearm safety. So many kids like Dea are comfortable and knowledgeable about firearms and safety issues but the subject is taboo in their social circles. They are given a mixed message that firearms are bad so the people who own them are bad. Hopefully, we can build a supportive page for Dea and other children so they can gain insight into some of the things Paul and parents like you are teaching their kids. Dea's page will offer tips about how to introduce awareness training to your children at an early age.

Acqualina Testimonials |
Thank you for helping to make my client shine!
I wanted to write and thank you for helping to make my client shine and look like a Rock Star to her attendees during their meeting! It was a Success!
As you know they were looking for a South Beach property with all the right amenities and upscale service they are accustomed to. The client sited many properties in South Beach and then the Acqualina in Sunny Isles. Once she met you, Alina, and sited the property, she knew it was going to be home for their meeting. The ENTIRE staff was amazing and always wearing smiles. The attendees loved the large and lavish accommodations, artwork throughout, and the immaculate grounds. It was also pretty cool to drive up and see the porte corchere lined up with high end luxury sport cars. It was definitely a Luxury Experience for ALL!
I truly appreciate your responsive and proactive nature. You ensured the success of my clients' meeting and made my experience a very pleasant one. I would recommend the Acqualina Resort and Spa to all of my colleagues and clients and I look forward to working with you again very soon!!!

Three major Foundation program areas honor the Lindberghs' legacy and further their shared vision of a technology/nature balance.
Aviation Green Alliance
The Aviation Green Alliance welcomes all aviation-related companies and individuals committed to proactively addressing our shared concerns regarding aviation and the environment. Under the banner of the Lindbergh Foundation, all members of the aviation community can join efforts in reducing aviation's environmental footprint—a mission we all embrace.
The Aviation Green Alliance creates multiple platforms for Members to share strategies, findings, progress, and ideas related to aviation's environmental issues.
- Providing the most current and important aviation-environmental news and information
- Funding research and development Grants, encouraging additional work in the discovery and the incubation of new technologies that address aviation's environmental issues
- Recognizing Member successes in addressing aviation's environmental concerns
- Developing suggested best practices for achieving measurable aviation-related conservation and sustainability initiatives
- Fostering educational efforts related to the progress of the industry's successes in addressing aviation's environmental footprint
Lindbergh Grants
This program has been postponed until 2013.
Each year, The Charles A. and Anne Morrow Lindbergh Foundation presents Lindbergh Grants to individuals whose proposed research or education projects will make important contributions toward improving the quality of life by balancing technological advancements and the preservation of our environment. Awarded in amounts up to $10,580 each (a symbolic figure representing the cost of the "Spirit of St. Louis" in 1927), the Grants are made in numerous areas of special interest to Charles and Anne Lindbergh, including aviation/aerospace, agriculture, arts and humanities, biomedical research and adaptive technology, conservation of natural resources, education, exploration, health and population sciences, intercultural communication, oceanography, waste disposal management, water resource management, and wildlife preservation.
Applications for Lindbergh Grants are reviewed annually and evaluated by two panels - one consisting of individuals knowledgeable in Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh's philosophy of balance and the other made up of technical experts in the various fields in which Lindbergh Grants are awarded. Further evaluations and recommendations to the Lindbergh Foundation Board of Directors are made by the Grants Selection Committee of the Board, with the Board making the final decisions.
Unfunded projects judged to be deserving of special recognition are awarded Lindbergh Grant Certificates of Merit.
The Lindbergh Award
Each year since 1978, The Charles A. and Anne Morrow Lindbergh Foundation has presented its honorary Lindbergh Award to individuals who have made significant contributions over many years toward improving our quality of life by balancing technology and our environment, in their work. Those who support the Foundation's mission gather once a year at an event where the award recipient(s) is the featured speaker. The occasion serves as an opportunity to honor the award recipient, communicate a common vision and inspire those in attendance. Among the Lindbergh Foundation's prestigious Lindbergh Award recipients are: Astronaut Neil Armstrong, Dr. Sylvia A. Earle, Hugh Downs, the late Gen. Jimmy Doolittle, the late Samuel C. Johnson, the late Jacques Cousteau, Sir Edmund Hillary, Arthur C. Clarke, Burt L. Rutan, Dr. Robert D. Ballard, Jim Fowler of Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom, Dr. David Suzuki, Dr. Bertrand Piccard, Yolanda Kakabadse, Dr. Peter Diamandis, and Will Steger.Nominations for the Award are made by individuals and are reviewed by the Award Selection Committee who makes a recommendation to the full Board of Directors, which makes the final selection of the Lindbergh Award recipient.

DIY Homemade Hand Sanitizing Wipes
Written by Cindy Young on Jun 17, 2011 | 10 CommentsConventional hand wipes are typically full of a ton of nasty toxins, such as triclosan and phthtalates. Triclosan is an antibacterial and antifungal agent that has been used for decades in soaps, sanitizers, deodorants and more. It has been shown to cause skin and eye irritation and has been linked to more serious concerns such as endocrine disruption and organ system toxicity. Phthalates are used to make plastics flexible and also as solvents. They have been linked to disruptions of the endocrine system, low sperm count and liver cancer, among other things. So, needless to say, it is best to avoid most major hand sanitizers.
There are natural alternatives to those nasty conventional hand sanitizing wipes. I prefer to use Herban Essentials Towelettes. They come in convenient, individually-wrapped packages, and they use essential oils such as lemon oil and eucalyptus oil, which are naturally antibacterial and antiseptic. EO and Clean Well also make hand sanitizing wipes.
But store-bought towelettes can be expensive, and those individual wrappers can add up in the landfill. So I found a couple of great recipes for homemade hand sanitizing wipes. Some people prefer to avoid the use of alcohol so I have provided recipes for wipes with and without alcohol. Alcohol, vinegar and certain essential oils have powerful antibacterial and antifungal properties. Witch hazel is an astringent. And glycerin and aloe vera gel have skin softening properties.
Recipe #1 - The Alcohol-Free Version
Combine the following in a large bowl:
- 1/4 cup filtered water
- 1/4 cup aloe vera gel (as pure as you can find)
- 1/4 cup witch hazel
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp vegetable glycerin (this is optional but does soften skin)
- 10 drops tea tree oil
- 10 drops peppermint essential oil
Take a stack of paper towels (maybe 20 or so) and cut them in half (or use the kind that comes in multiple sizes). Roll them up and stick in the bowl until they have completely absorbed the mixture. Once there is no liquid left in the bowl, take the whole stack and put in a ziploc bag or leftover baby wipe container. Don't worry if part of the paper towels is still dry. They will become completely saturated after a few hours in the container. And you are done!
If you don't care for the scent of tea tree or peppermint oils, you can do any combination of essential oils that you prefer. According to NIH, essential oils that have the strongest antimicrobial properties include: cinnamon, thyme, clove, mint, origanum and salvia.
Recipe #2 - The Alcohol Version
Combine the following in a large bowl:
- 1/2 cup aloe vera gel (as pure as you can find)
- 1/4 cup filtered water
- 1/4 cup vodka or rubbing alcohol
- 1 tbsp witch hazel
- 20 drops of any essential oils you prefer (see recipe above for discussion about essential oils)

A young man convicted of killing a Santa Maria man with a hatchet in 2009 may be released from a state mental hospital.
Nicholas Bendle, 25, pleaded guilty to one count of murder for the death of Frederick Holgate, 69.
Holgate was out for a morning walk near the corner of Miller Street and Stowell Road in Santa Maria in August 2009.
The Santa Barbara County District Attorney's Office and a defense attorney agreed Bendle was legally insane at the time of the killing.
Bendle has been serving a life sentence at Patton State Hospital.
Deputy Public Defender Patricia Dark says Patton State Hospital filed paperwork with the court that says Bendle has stabilized and is recommending his release. Dark says there was a brief court hearing earlier this week where prosecutors asked for more time to review the records before a final decision is made on Bendle's release.
Bendle has been in treatment for paranoid schizophrenia.
Dark says the hospital's review describes Bendle's behavior as stabilized and says he hasn't had any major problems. Dark says the court could agree with the hospital's recommendation and allow him to be released or there will be a trial where the judge will make a final decision. She says it would be a conditional release, which means he would be under the supervision of the Department of Mental Health.
"There is still a decision to be made. At what point would he be released? Would he go to a halfway house or would he go into a housing supervised by mental health? It's called a conditional release or a supervised released to make sure that the person is integrated back into the community safely," said Deputy Public Defender Patricia Dark.
Dark says they will be back in court May 15 to review the hospital's report.
Dark says Bendle would not be released in Santa Barbara County. He would be supervised somewhere in Southern California.
Patton State Hospital is located in San Bernardino.

Hey Raptors Fans! Today we had the opportunity to visit the NBA China Office in Beijing, China. We even made history as we are the first NBA dance team to make an appearance at the office!
Here, we did a Q&A interview session with the NBA China Team, we met with local students who were in the office for a job shadowing opportunity, as well as shot some video footage for NBA China. We even got to sign a DeMar DeRozan poster! Click on the photo below to see the whole album of our incredible experience.

There I was, ground turned, space plotted, and stuck with the always problem of how to sow those small seeds with my somewhat large and clumsy fingers. First I dragged a metal rod thru the soil making a small trench and then tried vainly to drop seeds in but I couldn't always see where they fell. Durn it.......Then laying near me was a round wooden thing, perhaps the short pole for a paint roller or the handle from a toilet plunger. I put it on the soil and rolled it like a rolling pin back and forth and made a small shiny trench in the dirt. Perfect straight line too. I could see where the seeds fell and spaced them out and then merely covered them with the furrow on either side of the round trench... |
Follow-Up Postings:
Then you filled the trench with water and let the water wick up to the seeds which had been tamped down to insure good soil contact. Is that the rest of your seed planting routine? Al |
My Dad taught me to use a rake handle - longer furrow than a toilet plunger handle! |
- Posted by wiley0 4a (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sun, Jun 9, 13 at 18:17
not really a trench Al, just the depression from the handle...hardly more than a quarter inch deep.....No, I covered the small seeds with the loose dirt from what was loosened with the rod (or just sprinkling seed starting mixture over the covered depression). But, having a real smooth surface to drop the seeds onto made it a lot easier to space them along the foot long depression. "When these seeds sprout, I'll do the same in another row in that 2'X4' bed.... Flora: I'm working with some small beds much shorter than the rake handle!...Also doing square foot gardening like areas and small raised beds....I got a city lot and not much room for regular garening...thus...vertical gardening and small scale raised beds amongst some tomato and pepper plants and rock garden.....keeps me out of trouble...I don't plan on selling out of the back of my pickup truck....just growing enough for the two of us |
mmm, I always water the drill (I also use the handle from my hoe) very slowly so the water seeps in but does not wet outside the drill. When the seeds are sown, it is easy to flip the dry soil from the side edges over the top using a draw hoe. The dry soil acts like a dust mulch and seems to maintain moisture during the germination process. |

The Marlins' Salary-Dumping Trades Are Miami's Cultural Loss
Categories: Sports
@minitdub |
But the truth is, recent moves by the Marlins affect all Miamians, not just its sports fans. This team, after all, has been responsible for some of the most dramatic shows, the most talked-about art, and the most flashy (if puzzling) performance art in town.
Here are just a few of the ways Miami culture will suffer in the aftermath of Loria's SalaryDumpocalypse.
Let's just get the Red Grooms "Tremenda Mierda Fountain" issue out of the way first, because you know it's coming. Yes, it's hideous. Yes, it's bafflingly large. But it's still art, goddammit, and this is still a town where we celebrate that shit, especially when there are drinks involved. Without a team capable of hitting baseballs into home run territory, that neon sculptural trainwreck won't be used to its full, splashing, spinning, dolphin-jumping potential. Unacceptable.
Showtime's first attempt to chronicle the Marlins in the show The Franchise, uh, didn't work out so well. But as several Twitter users pointed out last night, The Franchise, Miami Marlins 2: Who Are Any of These Guys Anyway would actually be pretty fun to watch. Award-winning, even. As some dude named Rick said, "I'd nominate #Marlins the franchise show the award in the #tragedy category."

[198] Beta-Catenin/WNT Signaling Pathway in Fibromatosis, Metaplastic Carcinomas and Phyllodes Tumours of the Breast
FC Geyer, M Lacroix-Triki, K Savage, AH Lee, JS Reis-Filho. ICR, London, United Kingdom; Institut Claudius Regaud, Toulouse, France; Nottingham City Hospital, Nottingham, United Kingdom
Background: Wnt signalling pathway is known to play a critical role in carcinogenesis and in epithelial to mesenchymal transition. Upon Wnt activation, β-catenin (CTNNB1) is translocated from the membrane to the cytoplasm and nucleus, where it interacts with transcriptional activators. It has been demonstrated that fibromatoses harbour APC mutations and that metaplastic breast carcinomas may harbour CTNNB1 mutations, both leading to Wnt pathway activation. Given that β-catenin nuclear localisation constitutes a good marker of Wnt canonical pathway activation, we have investigated the distribution of β-catenin in spindle cell lesions of the breast and whether it could be employed in the differential diagnosis of these lesions.
Design: 52 metaplastic breast carcinomas (MBCs) (22 spindle cell carcinomas, 17 carcinomas with squamous metaplasia, 13 carcinomas with heterologous elements), eight fibromatosis and 23 phyllodes tumours (PTs), were retrieved from our institutions' archives. We performed immunohistochemistry using two commercially available anti-β-catenin antibodies on whole tissue sections. β-catenin nuclear, membranous and cytoplasmic expression was assessed in each tumour component using the Allred scoring system. Each component of a case with a score>2 was considered as positive.
Results: A good correlation between the 2 antibodies used in this study was observed (Spearman's rho 0.675, p<0.001). All fibromatoses analysed expressed nuclear β-catenin. 23% of MBCs displayed β-catenin nuclear expression. No association between the subtype of MBC and β-catenin nuclear expression was found. Membranous expression was lower in spindle cell carcinomas (mean score 4) than in carcinomas with squamous metaplasia and with heterologous elements (mean scores 8 and 7, respectively). In PTs, β-catenin nuclear staining was observed in both the epithelial and spindle cell components. Spindle cells of benign and malignant PTs displayed nuclear β-catenin expression in 94% and 57% of cases, respectively. Membranous expression was observed only in the epithelial component of all PTs.
Conclusions: β-catenin nuclear expression is a common feature in fibromatosis and in the stromal component of PTs, but may also be observed in MBCs. β-catenin nuclear expression should not be used as a single marker to differentiate fibromatosis from other spindle cell tumours of the breast.

Six Nations 2013: Alun Wyn Jones should be skipper - Williams
RBS SIX NATIONS: WALES v ENGLAND
- Venue: Millennium Stadium, Cardiff
- Date: Saturday, 16 March
- Kick-off: 17:00 GMT
Coverage: Watch on BBC One, HD & Online; Listen on BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio Cymru, 5 live Sports Extra & online; live text commentary online; highlights & analysis on Scrum V Six Nations Special on Sun, 17 March from 19:00 GMT
Martyn Williams believes Alun Wyn Jones should captain Wales against England in Saturday's Six Nations title decider if Ryan Jones is ruled out.
Jones is a doubt with a shoulder injury which forced him off in the win over Scotland, when Sam Warburton took over.
But Williams believes lock Alun Wyn Jones, not Warburton, should skipper the side if Ryan Jones is unavailable.
"I'd let Alun Wyn captain the side next week if Ryan doesn't make it," said Williams, who won 100 Wales caps.
"[It would] take the pressure off Sam [and] just say 'go out and cause chaos in the breakdown'.
"Rob Howley said himself he's had a tough few months. Let Sam concentrate on his game.
"There's going to be enough media hype this week and [Sam should] just do what he did [against Scotland] and concentrate on playing his own game."
Lock Alun Wyn Jones and Warburton returned to Wales' starting line-up against Scotland and Warburton was man-of-the-match in the 28-18 win at Murrayfield.
Cardiff Blues flanker Warburton did not start in the wins over France and Italy but returned in place of Justin Tipuric against the Scots.
Despite the return of Warburton, Ospreys forward Ryan Jones retained the captain's armband against the Scots, having skippered the side in France and Italy.
But Jones is a doubt for Saturday's final game against England in Cardiff after he injured a shoulder early in the second half.
Wales' most-capped forward Williams - he made 100 Test appearances for his country - fears Ryan Jones will miss out.
"I'd be amazed [with a] shoulder injury to turn around in six days to be fit to go," Williams told BBC Wales' Scrum V programme.
"You never know with the physios and injections."
England's 18-11 victory over Italy at Twickenham means a win against Wales in Cardiff next Saturday would seal a first Grand Slam in a decade.
But a Wales victory by eight points or more, providing they stay ahead of England on tournament tries, would see Rob Howley's men retain the title.
Williams, a Grand Slam winner in 2005 and 2008, believes Wales are capable of denying Stuart Lancaster's side.
"I think we'll win [and] I think we'll win the championship," Williams said.
"I think they'll have to change the way they play because physically England will match them."

13th March 2013 - 20:26Dear, dear,Mr Somerset ('Steve Walsh = Welsh win.')
I suspect you are related to a fellow-migrant from Wessex, because you both are less interested in rugby than mini-nationalism. (Welcome to our shores, btw!)
I suggest you relax on Saturday, put aside any fears about referees (they all know more than you or me, after all) and enjoy the game. I assume you will watch it. I hope you do. -

13th March 2013 - 14:41Certainly think England have earned the tag of fav in the boring tedious stakes, can't be many people with both eyes open after Sundays performance. But hey nots let forget it was against a fantastic Italian side who couldn't win away from home for toffee, when will England except they are a schoolboy like side capable of incredulous inconsistency

Glad I could help. Yes, the Nelson County I referred to is in Kentucky. I don't know if Thomas B. Weatherton and James Raymond Weatherton are related or not. My information didn't mention it, but I would guess they probably are. A lot of the marriages in my records were brother and sister marrying brother and sister. (Or cousins marrying cousins!!) I don't think people got too far from their own communities back then, so they were limited in meeting new people. Another interesting bit.. William M. Nally used the spelling NALLIA in his marriage records. He also used the middle initial of "M", "L", or sometimes "S". My records used NALLEY and NALLY, sometimes even in the same family, so I'm not sure which is correct. (My records don't go any further back than James' father, Raphael.)

about me
Looking for someone who enjoys life.....
In a nutshell I'd say I'm someone who wants the most out of life, I'm social and active and....Always up for a laugh and a good time.
On my weekends I love catching up with friends, heading to the beach, getting up to my families holiday house, LOVE trying new restaurants, being active and also making sure I fit in some time to sit back and relax.
I go the gym most days during the week so on the weekends I prefer to go for a bike rides or have a hit of tennis.
I have a professional job specialising in property which I love. I work pretty hard during the week but definitely don't define myself by my job. How I behave in a professional sense is not how I am the rest of the time.
My love of property has translated into me developing properties myself.
I want to meet someone who wants to the most out of life, enjoys socialising, who knows how to relax (when needed), who wants to explore the world and go on many exciting adventures.
Look forward to hearing from you....

First, we want everyone to raise a glass and invoke Curry for Megan, who, despite being Canadian, is really fucking cool, and has agreed to sign on to PH Staff on at least a temporary basis. So, like Ann is our Intern, Megan is our temp. Ann is currently on a Leave of Absence. The official word from Mount Olympus is that she is, at least for a little while, too gorgeous and intelligent to mingle among common folk, and needs to vacation among the gods. We believe this press release wholeheartedly. Megan has agreed to step in. She is a rather mysterious figure, which may be attached to the fact that she's spectacularly talented and has a real job, which is why she doesn't spend the day yelling on Twitter like the rest of us. However, she is also beautiful and perfect. Give her a round of applause. And go thank her for recapping the Devils game for you.
So raise your hand if you are actually interested in what's going to happen to our favorite Kazakhstan-born goaltender Evgeni Nabokov as he deftly tries to reach a third world country Detroit, Michigan from the KHL? The whole waiver situation is probably being blown out of proportion, but whatever. As owners of the Louisiana Muskrats, we are encouraging the movement of cap space in order to accomodate Nabokov. We will get back to you on this matter.
In other news, every game in the NHL tonight is boring as shit.
But you know what tomorrow means:
With Evgeni Malkin's nose and face full of snot, plus a knee issue, and Sid still needing lots of naps and things, the fact that Staal has basically become the top skilled forward for the Pens makes the hallowed Staal vs. Staal matchup all the more intense.
Steiggy and Errey at the very least will likely be talking about it.
In case you needed reminding, the drinking game rules are reproduced in this post above our very sad evening watching the Pens at Madison Square Garden during the 2009 season. Oh memories.
Pens/Canes should be more intense than that, but you remember what happened last time we thought this.
Do you think Eric Staal sees Godzilla clearly enough in that picture, btw?
More importantly, how drunk is Godzilla?
At any rate we will be setting up a CoverItLive event and chances are someone will be drinking something. Pick something up on your way home from work tomorrow or whatever.
Also, for your O RLY article of the night:
Caps trying to win with defense
Time to get back to basics. Really, really, really basic. Like playing with a bunch of rookies and grinders, and getting drunk?
Go Pens.

Poppy King
Thursday, June 18th, 2009
Today we introduce the first installment of our Ladies of Castor & Pollux! We are beginning an ongoing project that will feature an especially interesting customer, colleague, or friend. We want to know more about these stylish ladies and now you will too! It has been so fun to come up with this list and not especially easy as the world is full of amazing people. Every two weeks we will present a questionnaire and a portrait taken by John von Pamer that gives us a glimpse into who they are and what interests them.
Today's first post is featuring a dear friend and an inspiration to so many that meet her, Poppy King of Lipstick Queen fame. Castor & Pollux has been carrying Poppy's lipsticks (and her fabulous business book Lessons of a Lipstick Queen) since she launched LQ in 2006. She truly believes in what she is doing and is a perfect testament to the saying "Do what you love and success will follow.â€
Obsessed with the pursuit of the perfect lipstick, she began her company in Australia when she was just 18! As you all should know by now, I don't sell anything in the store that I don't believe in. When approached to sell LQ I wasn't sure that lipstick was necessarily something that we needed in the store. That being said, I was convinced otherwise upon meeting Poppy and seeing her genuine enthusiasm for what she is doing and her complete belief in it. I was a convert from day one. I love her Saint Rose color and always seem to get compliments on the days that I wear it… a testament to Poppy's genius. I hope you find her as interesting and inspiring as I do!

Belongings Stars in David Yurman: The Jeweler Celebrates Its Cable Collection's 30th Anniversary This year, David Yurman celebrates 30 full years of its legendary cable collection. After learning welding from Ernesto Gonzales in Provincetown at just 16 years old, Yurman went on to study at the Art Students League in Manhattan in the 1960s. In 1965, he set up his own sculpture studio while working for Hans Van de Bovenkamp, and it was there he met painter Sybil Kleinrock, who became his wife, co-creator and business partner. In 1982, the Yurmans designed their first cable bracelet, a twisted helix in gold and silver with finial ends done in gemstones, which they launched as the Renaissance collection in 1983. The collection has since been worn by every imaginable celebrity — including Angelina Jolie, Jessica Chastain and Mindy Kaling — with its blend of easy elegance, modern feel and ancient sensibility. For the anniversary, the company has released a slew of limited-edition designs, from color-saturated aluminum Renaissance bracelets to fully-pavéd pieces in white, cognac or black diamonds.

Brainstorming with Albert Einstein & Marie Curie
In the summer of 1913, Albert Einstein together with his wife and son honored the Hotel Schweizerhof with a visit – at the same time as Irène Curie, the daughter of Marie Curie, and an acknowledged chemist herself. According to the guest book, they were "very pleased" with their stay. Whether this was due to the laid-back balmy evenings with relaxed dinners on the veranda of the hotel, or because of the inspiring talks and theories among fellow professionals, we will never know. At the time, the staff would only wonder about the strangely bescribbled napkins left on the table after dinner. Who knows, maybe Einstein developed the basis for his theory of relativity back then at the Schweizerhof...
Historic Hotel
A casa tradicional foi construída em 1903, nos estilos da Belle Epoque e da Art Noveau. Atualmente gerenciado na 4ª geração. O realizador Daniel Schmid era neto dos fundadores do hotel e influenciou a casa culturalmente também. E, Albert Einstein, a imperatriz Zita e Marie Curie usaram a casa para suas férias de verão. a história pode ser lida nas histórias do Schweizerhof no livro "Grandhotels literários na Suíça".
Typically Swiss Hotel
Even the fourth generation of hosts have remained faithful to their values in this family-run, first-class Swiss hotel: "To give service to our guests" was the motto of great-grandfather Daniel Schmidt who built the Schweizerhof.Even his successors believe that offering a service to the guest in the best sense is something highly commendable, provided that one engages with people and their individuality with interest, attentiveness, humour, curiousness and affection.

If it is starting to break dormancy, I would start with a pot no larger than two inches in diameter than the tuber. Let it grow and then decide on the size of the pot. It may not get as large as those catalog photos lead you to expect. The environment in which you grow determines everything. |

woebegonia (cute!)...Thanks for your response...I don't understand what you mean by "break dormancy"...there is a whitish "stem" type of thing coming out of the indented side of the bulb...I purchased the bulb from McClure and Zimmerman...Georgeanne |
- Posted by woebegonia MT (My Page) on Mon, May 13, 13 at 9:09
That is the stem coming from the indented side, the round side produces roots. When the see the stem starting (some people call them 'eyes') you can place the tuber on damp soil and you should see a root or two coming along there soon. Don't cover the tuber, thoough, for quite a time, you want to see definite growing progress first. |

Employees who are absent through sickness are required to notify their division on the first day and to submit a doctor's statement in accordance with the terms of Appendix S.
The other requirements of Appendix S will apply in all cases, unless a specific procedure has been agreed for certain groups of employees.
Payment to employees who are off sick is in accordance with the National Conditions of Service except that payment for sickness absence at weekends will be at the basic rate only. However, absence for industrial injury and maternity related cases is excluded from this provision.
Some employees have their own provisions in this respect and these override the above.
Statutory deductions from wages will be made unless evidence is produced to show that the other employer is deducting the appropriate national insurance benefit or its equivalent.
Directors are authorised to extend the periods of paid sick leave in very exceptional circumstances e.g., where an employee is very close to retirement.
See Section 15.6 for further information on Temporary Staff.
It is important that employees who require redeployment through ill health are dealt with in accordance with the procedure in Appendix T.
The Council has an Attendance Management Policy which is attached at Appendix S and Appendix S1.
The Council has a Time off for Medical Visits policy which is attached at Appendix L1.
An employee who is absent as a result of an accident not associated with their work shall be entitled to payment under the Sickness Scheme in the normal way. If the employee receives damages from a third party in respect of the accident then the employee is responsible for ensuring that the Council is reimbursed the total amount of the payment received from the Sickness Scheme as provided for in the damages.
Any such accident should be recorded as sickness in the normal way but their manager shall have due regard for the fact that liability has been acknowledged by a third party when reviewing the overall sickness record.
This provision is quite separate from any conditions regarding accidents/attacks at work.

Family Ties' Brian Bonsall joins Busted Former Child Star Mug Shot Hall of Fame: A photo gallery
Look closely at this photo. Can you recognize the adorable little moppet who joined the Family Ties cast in the series' waning days in a desperate effort to up the show's cuteness factor?Few people remember, but Brian Bonsall's actually had his neck tat since age three.
He's still in there, but he's hiding. Because he's afraid.
Yep, Brian Bonsall is all grown up -- and there's a good chance he'll do some grown-up jail time for allegedly smacking a pal in the face with a stool back in 2007. Boulder authorities busted him this weekend, prompting the photo above -- an excellent image that guarantees his entry into the Busted Former Child Star Mug Shot Hall of Fame.
Page through below to eyeball arrest photos of ten other inductees in this august body, shown in alphabetical order. Some of them went on to bigger things, while many of them didn't. But there's no denying that they've seldom looked better.
Macaulay Culkin, who can now be left "Home Alone."
David Faustino, of "Married With Children" fame.
Danielle Fishel, former cast member of "Boy Meets World."

As a woman with a darker complexion I have issues finding blushes that show up. This isn't the best but it isn't the worst either. It is a dusty rose color- very low impact on me. Not OTT at all. Great for a day look. But if I try to build this I find that it gives me an ashy look. Also lasts for a good while on my oily skin.
The packaging varies depending on how you purchase this blush- solo or in the LORAC Croc palette.
Solo it is in a plastic, black screw top jar with a clear opening on the lid to see the color.
In the Croc Palette it comes in a little black croc print palette (hence the name) containing four eyeshadows and a mirror. This is how I purchased it and feel that depending on your price range (and whether or not you can use the shadows of course) this is a smart way to purchase this blush. Solo it runs $19 but the palette only costs $36
I so wish I could use this blush as the color is amazing and really lights up my medium skin. Is very buildable and looks very natural. My skin is highly reactive and won't tolerate hardly any ingrediants and this blush was (I think) one of the products causing a reaction. I cry when I look at the full tub of this as I want to use it so badly!! I would recommend this blush to those of you who have tolerant or even semi-tolerant skin!!
this is the best blush i have ever had in my life. SERIOUSLY! first off i dont even like blushes with any sort of shimmer. but man this is that one exception. TRY IT!!! its looks best with a tan & gives that middle eastern kardashian exotic look.
i am palish yellow and most blushes dont blend properly or get that muddy painted look.
This blush is my HG> I am done looking for another as nothing could be better than this. I threw out about 15 blushes after I found this one.
It blends like a dream and perks up my coloring just amazingly. I can wear it with
pinks plums or orangish shade of lip color.
Dont be put off by the boring appearance in the pan. It "looks" boring and drab in the pan. To me it looked like it would make me look dead but OMG what a surprise .
Can't rave enough about it. "TRY" it in the croc palette ( smaller one) along with 4 eyeshadows and you will fall in love if you have pale coloring and are looking for
a magnificent go with every thing blendable blush.
My HG, and I don't say that often. I went to Ulta one day and told the SA I wanted to find my perfect blush no matter how long it took, lol. A few hours later, this was it and a year later still love it. I tried just about everything in the store that day and this was the winner....I'm a fair/medium complexion but everything seems to oxidize on me and turn muddy or orange. Not this one. It's my day to day....I can't remember the last time I used one of my other blushes.
The color in the pan looks dull, but don't let that turn you off. On the skin, its a beautiful peachy rose that looks absolutely natural!! Very good product, and I love blush- I have NARS, MAC, Dior etc, this one is the best! :]
This color is just gorgeous. At first, I thought it looked a little too dark but it looks beautiful on. This is one of my staples. I like it more as a fall/winter blush but I can wear it year-round and it looks great. It blends well and stays put. I love the slight shimmer, it's not too sparkly.
More reviews by pure1magination
looks very boring in the pan...like a dusty taupe/plum but goes on a little pink on me... not a bright pink, but a flush i would get naturally. a little bit goes a long way but i also don't seem to be able to overdo this.. i can keep layering it on all over and it looks beautiful. i've been using this for a natural everyday look since you can just throw it on with some concealer and mascara and head out.
also, in the pan i notice some shimmer but it's not noticeable on my face, even when i build up the color.
go ahead and try this... it's very unique and i have not had a blush color quite like it!
Packaging -- also wanted to mention i love the minimalist design of this blush.
EDIT: You must try this as an eyeshadow on the lid and part of the crease. It's goooorgeous and doesn't make me look tired at all.
I cannot get this blush to work for me. I am MAC NC35, but it is too dark, brownish and splotchy. Putting this blush on, ruins my makeup and I am so sad. I hate when I cannot get a product to work for me and it is more money down the drain. I am having much better success with cooler pinks (Bobbi Brown Peony, for instance). I really need to start swapping because I see others love this color...I wish I had gotten Lorac desire instead. Oh well...maybe I will have better look next time!

Report: Robert Pattinson Has Ditched Kristen for Emilie de Ravin
In news that will likely send waves of despair throughout Team Robsten, Life & Style reports that Robert Pattinson has abandoned his Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart—so that he can take up with his Remember Me co-star Emilie de Ravin.
"Robert met Emilie a while ago and has always liked her," an insider tells the magazine. "He's the one who suggested to the producers at Summit [the same production company responsible for the Twilight series] that she'd be perfect for Remember Me. In the original screenplay, her part was written for an actress of Mexican descent."
And once R-Pattz secured a spot in the film for De Ravin—who split up with her husband, Josh Janowicz, slightly before filming began—it didn't take long for the pair to develop chemistry off-camera as well as on.
"I watched them filming on July 2, and they got along very, very well," says a spy. "At one point between takes, they stopped into a shop to get a drink together; they seem to like each other a lot."
Moreover, when the two hung out together at the Bowery Hotel in New York on June 14 with R-Pattz's Twilight co-star Elizabeth Reaser, Reaser their relationship out of the bag with a slip of the tongue, so to speak.
An eyewitness at the scene notes that, when De Ravin expressed concern to Reaser about how her kissing scenes with Pattinson would look on-screen, Reaser—who plays R-Pattz's mother in the Twilight series—replied, "However you kiss Rob in real life, just do that!"
Well, as the saying goes, mother knows best.
Have your say in the comments section: Do you think that R-Pattz has traded in Kristen for a different model?

Millions of children and adolescents are enrolled in sports activities. Participation in sports contributes to psychological health in many ways; it promotes social interaction, cooperation, and friendship. Through sports, children and adolescents have opportunities to develop their abilities to think critically and quickly, exercise judgments and solve problems. However, between the ages of 8-13 about 72% of all children drop out of organized sports programs. So why are kids dropping out?
The following articles provide tips for parents to encourage other talents for children who don't like sports and to help children who do like sports avoid some of the pitfalls.
Enticing the Reluctant Athlete
This article looks at reasons that some children are turned off by organized team sports and provides tips to help parents encourage healthy participation. It discussed different options that kids may prefer, from individual sports to drama, music and dance, which can confer many of the benefits of team sports.

Also included are tips for parents on appropriate sports for preschoolers, school-age children and adolescents. Ways to avoid common pitfalls, such as over-involvement of kids as well as parents, are also covered.
Sports: More than just fun
Issues such as finding a good sports program, when to encourage a child to specialize in one sport, how to relate to coaches, how to avoid injuries, and appropriate ways to praise a child are discussed.
Sports and Kids: Pathway to healthy development or to unhealthy competition?
This article discusses the ways in which sports have been affected by media hype and commercialism and how to make sure your child derives the benefits of positive involvement in sports.

Plus One Programs
Why might this be right for you?
There are three main reasons why this option might be right for you. First, professionals who enter the workforce with graduate level experience are often more competitive.
Second, the combined degree might make financial sense. Up to 16 graduate credits will count toward the completion of your undergraduate degree and your graduate degree at no additional cost. This can equal up to half the required credits for your graduate degree.
Third, Plus One students completion of the NU BA degree is proof of language competency thus exempting them from the language exam required by the Masters program.
Finally, the combined degree program can accelerate your receipt of a graduate degree. In most cases a combined degree student can obtain both their undergraduate and graduate diplomas with only one additional year of study.
Are you eligible to apply?
You are eligible to apply if you are a History major, a first semester junior (minimum of 64 semester hours) with a QPA in History of 3.50 or higher and an overall QPA of at least 3.33. You must have completed HIST 1201/1200 and HIST 2301/2302.
When do I apply?
You should apply in your junior year (minimum 64 semester hours), as this will maximize the number of graduate credits you can earn.
How do I apply?
Your first step should be to make an appointment with your academic advisor or the department's Coordinator of Graduate Programs to make sure the program is right for you. Once you complete this meeting, you will need to submit a Plus One application found on-line along with a personal statement to the Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities Admissions Office, 180 Renaissance Park. Click here for the PlusOne admissions application.
Which graduate courses can I take?
Because History Department graduate courses are each worth 4 credits, you can complete up to 4 courses while completing your undergraduate degree requirements, for a total of 15 credits. You will be required to enroll in Methodology (HIST 5101) in the first semester of the Plus One program and you can enroll in up to 2 graduate level courses per semester. Once you become a graduate student, you will enroll in graduate courses only.
Who do I contact for more information?
You can either speak with your undergraduate academic advisor Professor William Fowler who will be able to go over the admissions process and provide you with a curriculum plan to determine if this program is right for

For most, being a franchisee means rolling up your sleeves and getting down to business. It means setting that alarm for 5 a.m. to get the store ready for the morning rush, cracking open the phone book and making cold calls for five hours straight, and skipping dinner with your family to pull together a last-minute proposal for a crucial client.
"Probably the most important characteristic of a franchisee is a [strong] work ethic," says Calvin Haskell Jr., president of Portsmouth, New Hampshire-based franchise advisory company Franchise Solutions. "It's the ability to get up and, day after day, work harder than you've ever worked before."
As a franchisee, you'll need to put your entrepreneurial drive to work to grow your business. And at no time will a franchisee work harder than during start-up. It's not unusual for new franchisees to pull 16-hour days, including weekends. Often, new franchisees handle sales, marketing, accounting, hiring and much more all by themselves. And for those who mistakenly think buying a franchise means customers will just roll in with little to no effort on their part, the harsh reality often kicks in-quickly.
After working in an office job for just over one year, 25-year-old computer science graduate John Brown was yearning to be out on his own. So in 1994, he purchased a franchise from Union, New Jersey-based Oil Butler. Today, Brown's Charleston, West Virginia, homebased mobile oil-changing business services about 70 accounts with the help of one part-time and two full-time employees as well as three family members who provide part-time assistance. While changing oil and checking tire pressure isn't something he relishes, Brown says he knows that's what it takes to succeed-and he plans to continue the grueling routine.
"It's really tough some days," Brown admits. "You're on call 24 hours a day, and sometimes you wake up early in the morning, it's pouring rain, and you really wonder why you're doing this. But I know that in the end, it will all pay off."

Also need to know the variety of JM and how long they have been in those containers. Anything grown in a container long term will need to be unpotted, root pruned and repotted with fresh medium from time to time. Now is not a great time to do so however, especially in Texas - wait until fall. |
I have no idea what kind of Japanese Maples they are. One is a dwarf maple with green leaves, and the other is tall with red leaves. The dwarf one looks healthy, but the tall one doesn't bloom much compared to the dwarf. So I should be fine and keep them in the container as long as I prune the roots? I didn't know people pruned roots until now. Thanks. |
You'll find a lot more information specific to maintaining trees in containers over the long term if you click on the link. Why not add something to your user info that tells us something about where you live, like Pam's 'PNW zone 8' or my 'z5b-6a mid-MI'? Al |

Just Zone info usually is not enough information for good advice. My Zone 8 near Seattle has a lot different climate than Zone 8 in Texas. We just share the same winter lows is all. Strength of sun, moisture, soil, and humidity are way different. That's why it's always nice to give a general location of where you are in addition to your Zone. I'd put em' in the ground. It's a lot less work maintaining them. Mike |
I have three, six foot Japanese maples growing in pots on my balcony. The leaves are turning light brown on the edges and falling off, so I feel the trees may need more frequent deep watering. I usually give them a deep soaking once a week. How much more frequently should I water them. Also, they have been potted for four years? When and how should I re-pot them? |
rhawkins, I'm pretty new to this (so I've been devouring online videos) and I saw that JM's can get sort of sunburned if they get too much sun. It could totally just be a water issue, but I heard of this product called "wilt stop" that's a waxed based spray that acts like sunscreen for leaves. No idea of it's a good idea or not, but I'd look into it. Could be they are just getting too much direct sun. |

Don't spray anything other than water on JM foliage! It is very delicate tissue and can easily be damaged by applied sprays. It is even cautioned not to apply fungicides or pesticidal sprays due to phytotoxicity. JM's of some varieties can experience scorch if in too much sun but your description does sound like a tree that needs to be repotted. Depending on the size of the container, the roots could have completely filled the area, the potting medium has broken down and any water just passes quickly through the root ball and so is unable to fully hydrate the root system when you do water. Until you are able to repot, you may need to provide water more often. The ideal time for repotting is when the trees are dormant - fall in mild winter areas or late winter/early spring in colder areas. You will most likely need to do some root pruning as well as provide fresh potting soil. Check out the link Al provided - it really does outline everything you need to know about growing JM's (and other trees) in pots. |
