Thai communities poisoned by illegal lead mine waste
The Ecologist
22nd January 2015
For 16 years the Thai government has ignored the plight of a community where toxic lead mine waste is causing severe chronic poisoning - defying both a 2013 court order, and its international obligations. It's just one of many toxic sites across Thailand that need to be cleaned up - but the government's main concern is to encourage further industrialisation. more...India: 'Jungle Book' tribes illegally evicted from tiger reserve
The Ecologist
14th January 2015
Indigenous forest dwellers in India's iconic Kanha Tiger Reserve have suffered another round of illegal forced evictions at the hands of the country's Tiger Conservation Authority - a move that is threatening the future of the tigers themselves. more...Glencore Xstrata and corporate power in Peru
Aldo Orellana Lopez and Philippa de Boissière
27th December 2014
A new wave of ruthless conquistadors has arrived in Peru, write Aldo Orellana Lopez and Philippa de Boissière - global corporations after minerals, oil, gas, timber, land ... And instead of brandishing the Bible and the sword, they proclaim high sounding policies on environment and human rights, while co-opting police and politicians in their pillage of resources. more...Logging the flooded forests of Panama: Alana Husby
Kate Monson
9th January 2015
Alana Husby has sawdust in her blood. A fifth generation log and lumber person from Canada, she was 'flipping wood' as a teenager, and now she's in Panama running the region's biggest underwater logging company, employing local Kuna Indians to fish tree trunks out of flooded forests. Kate Monson met Alana in Oxford while negotiating a 'green' timber deal ... more...FAO - a plantation is not a forest!
Via Campesina and many more
26th December 2014
The UN Food and Agriculture Organization's definition of 'forest' includes commercial plantations of fast growing trees - often replacing biodiverse native forests relied on by local communities. FAO must stop using this mis-definition to claim that forests are expanding, when the reverse is the case. more...COP20 and corporate power - destroying the edifice of false climate solutions
Alexander Reid Ross
10th December 2014
Peru, notorious for its brutal exploitation of forests, oil and minerals, theft of indigenous lands and murder of eco-defenders, is an unlikely host for the COP20 climate talks, writes Alexander Reid Ross. Except that Peru's actions reflect the corporate land-grabbing agenda manifest in the false solutions on offer in Lima this week. It's a time for resistance, not compromise! more...COP20 host Peru claims forest 'leadership' - while attacking forest protectors
AIDESEP / Forest Peoples Programme
8th December 2014
Peru's government is actively undermining indigenous peoples' efforts to protect their forests - by refusing to title 20 million hectares of their lands and turning a blind eye to illegal logging. At the same time it's handing out vast concessions for oil, gas, mining and timber exploitation, expanding palm oil production and planning 50 major forest-flooding dams. more...'It's war!' Peru-Brazil indigenous people pledge to fight Amazon oil exploration
David Hill
8th December 2014
Peru - host of the COP20 UN climate conference now under way in Lima - is facing rebellion by a 3,500 strong indigenous people deep in the Amazon committed to fighting oil exploration in their forest territory, writes David Hill, following the government's failure to consult Matsés communities or respect their rights. more...How long can Norway ignore Peru's indigenous rights violations?
Chris Lang
10th December 2014
The COP20 host, Peru's President Humala, certainly talked the talk on indigenous rights last September when he signed a $300 million deal with Norway. But his violations of indigenous rights, 'hands off' approach to murders of indigenous leaders and recent unguarded comments betray his true sentiments. more...Kenya: a forest people illegally evicted, beaten, imprisoned - paid for by the World Bank
Dean Puckett / REDD Monitor
7th December 2014
Financed by the World Bank, the Kenya Forest Service has intensified its illegal campaign of evictions, arson, beatings and arrests of the Sengwer forest people of the Embobut forest, Dean Puckett reports from the Cherangani Hills. And behind the violence lies the lure of hard cash - from the prospect of selling the forest's carbon to international financiers. more...Amazon tribes' forests are a vital carbon sink
Tim Radford
5th December 2014
As land rights of indigenous peoples are increasingly being violated, writes Tim Radford, new research shows that the planned destruction of the Amazon rainforest is a major threat not only to cultural identity but also to the global climate. more...Stephen Corry: conservation must work with, not against, indigenous peoples
Alice Bayer
29th November 2014
From the creation of the very first national parks and game reserves, 'conservation' has always been about repressing and expropriating indigenous tribes, Survival International director Stephen Corry told Alice Bayer. And despite all the evidence that indigenous peoples are the best wildlife managers, old attitudes die hard ... more...

Illegal fishermen endanger world's most isolated tribe
The Ecologist
20th November 2014
The last completely isolated tribe on the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal is at risk from illegal fishing, with Burmese boats entering their waters and fishermen landing on their island home. But they had better watch out - two intruders were shot dead with arrows in 2006. more...Explaining Burma's missing 9 million people - evaporation, or genocide?
Guy Horton
20th November 2014
The best way to deal with embarrassing, inconvenient facts is to ignore them, writes Guy Horton. And this is precisely what the international community is doing over Burma's demographic anomaly - 9 million people who ought to be there, but aren't. Their absence is prima facie evidence of genocide - but as we all celebrate the 'brave new Burma', no one wants to know. more...Peru: indigenous leaders murdered for protecting their forests
The Ecologist
18th November 2014
As Peru prepares to host UN climate talks, Global Witness exposes the murder of Peruvian eco-defenders - 57 killed since 2002, including indigenous leaders protecting their forests from illegal logging ignored by police and Government. more...Brazil - 10% of national parks and indigenous lands face mining threat
Luke Parry
7th November 2014
Legislation put forward by Brazil's re-elected President Dilma Rousseff would open up to 10% of protected areas to mining, writes Luke Parry. The effect would be to gut nature conservation in Brazil, already in a perilous state due to underfunding and growing pressure for the development of mines, dams, farms and plantations. more...Andrew Lees - 20 years after his last mission to Madagascar
Yvonne Orengo
31st December 2014
This day 20 years ago one of Britain's most committed and effective environmental campaigners died trying to save a coastal forest in southern Madagascar from mining, writes Yvonne Orengo. The world has been a poorer place without Andrew Lees - and his fears for the Petriky forest and local indigenous communities have been proved all too close to the mark. more...Peru: Amazon Indians sue government to title indigenous lands
The Ecologist
28th October 2014
Peruvian law requires the government to recognise indigenous peoples's ownership of their lands. Yet 594 communities with claims to 20 million hectares of land remain with no secure title - leaving their forests open to illegal logging, plantations and settlement. Now one village is taking its demands to the courts. more...ICC told: Cambodia land-grabbing is 'crime against humanity'
Kevin Ponniah / Phnom Penh Post
21st October 2014
A British lawyer has filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court, writes Kevin Ponniah, alleging that a wave of violent land-grabbing that has displaced 770,000 people has been carried out by Cambodia's ruling elite, and that it amounts to a crime against humanity. more...Australia's outback is globally important for its biodiversity - and its people
John Woinarski
20th October 2014
Almost three quarters of Australia's landmass is 'outback', writes John Woinarski, making it one of our planet's greatest natural areas. Yet it has many of the hallmarks of a 'failed state': its native peoples live on the margins, and its biodiversity is under threat. Now a new conservation model shows a way forward for both: Indigenous Protected Areas. more...India: tiger reserve tribes face illegal eviction
The Ecologist
14th October 2014
A tribal community within India's Similipal tiger reserve is facing eviction after forest department officials tricked and coerced villagers into signing a document in which they promised to leave.

Matthew Newsome
10th October 2014
A massive sugar plantation and up to 700,000 migrant workers will occupy almost 2,000 sq.km of Ethiopia's Omo Valley, with the help of British aid finance. But the valley's native inhabitants have been given no choice in the matter, and are being forced to abandon their homes, lands, cattle, and entire way of life, or go to jail. more...Uvinje, Tanzania - an indigenous community erased in the name of conservation
Alejandra Orozco-Quintero
3rd October 2014
A small fishing community in Tanzania is the victim of a land grab carried out by powerful national park officials using inaccurate maps, writes Alejandra Orozco-Quintero - even though they are part of a long-standing, successful conservation partnership. Is it all to make way for a high-end tourism development? more...World Bank 'failing to protect Kenya forest dwellers'
John Vidal / The Guardian
30th September 2014
The eviction of Kenya's Sengwer forest people in a World Bank financed project was a failure of the Bank's duty to protect indigenous people, according to an internal report. The Bank's directors are to decide on how to respond today - but if they follow their own management's advice, the evictions will continue. more...ECOLOGIST COOKIES

My Diet and Exercise Plan for 2010
How I plan to lose 20 pounds over the next 4 1/2 months, by exercising six days a week, and finally paying attention to what kind of foods I choose to put in my body. In the process I hope to develop some "good" lifelong habits … while kicking a few not so desirable habits in the process.
Military Physical Training Workout
One of the best things about being assigned to an Army Support unit is that we get to do PT (Physical Training) pretty much every day of the week. I thought it might be interesting to post an outline of the Exercise Program that we do 2-3 days a week up at Wheeler. We call […]

not sure if what i'm experiencing is peri or something else. i started having shortness of breath, sensation of anxiety and being squeezed high in the chest about a year and a half ago at age 36 - while i was still breastfeeding my daughter, incidentally. have seen pulmonary specialists, heart specialists (have a small shunt, but shouldn't be causing these issues)and they can't find a definitive cause. a few weeks ago started having hot flashes too. does this sound familiar to anyone? only other option i can think of is a thyroid abnormality, which i'll be checked for soon. is 36-37 generally too young to start peri? were anyone else's symptoms preceded by a long duration of shortness of breath? |

Some key questions and important definitions for every homeowner's financial arsenal.
In recent years new and "alternative" loan products have been making the dream of homeownership a reality for many Californians. Adjustable rate mortgages, 100 percent financing and interest only loans have given hope to consumers who thought that they would never be able to afford a home.
Now that interest rates are on the rise and many of the alternative loan products are poised to adjust to the current market, the California Association of Mortgage Brokers (CAMB) is encouraging all homeowners to take a refresher course and meet with their brokers, review their current mortgage status and come up with a financial game plan regardless of their situation.
While a majority of homeowners will be able to handle the increased rates, the Association is providing key questions every homeowner should ask about their mortgage to solicit real and factual answers about their financial situation.
Hybrid Fixed/Adjustable Rate Mortgages – This loan has an initial fixed rate period (typically for three, five, seven or 10 years) that rolls into an adjustable rate loan that adjusts either monthly or annually.
Key questions to ask:
• What are my options for a fixed rate period?
• Is the fixed rate period interest only or fully amortized?
• What is going to happen to my payments at the end of the fixed rate period?
• Is my total loan balance due at the end of my fixed rate period?
Interest-Only Mortgages – This allows borrowers to pay the interest without paying on the balanced owed on the loan. Once the interest-only period is over, the monthly payment resets to repay the loan over the remaining term. These products are available on both fixed rate loans and hybrid fixed/adjustable loans.
Key questions to ask:
• When will my loan reset to a higher payment?
• What is my payment going to be at the first adjustment based on interest rates today? If rates increase 1 percent?
• Can my interest rate change over the term of my loan? When? How often?
Option Adjustable Rate Mortgages (Option ARM) – This loan offers low introductory rates then the option of a minimum payment (at the low introductory rate typically for one year), interest-only, or a fully amortized mortgage payment.
Key questions to ask:
• Can my principal balance increase (negative amortization or deferred interest)?
• Is there a cap to how much my principal balance can increase and what happens if this cap is reached?
• What index is my loan tied to?
• What margin does my loan have?
• What is the actual interest rate being charged to me (index + margin = fully indexed)?
• Am I paying less than the interest charged to me?
• Am I borrowing every month if I make my minimum payment?
• Will I be penalized if I pay my loan off early?
To find the mortgage best for you, make sure to work with a mortgage broker who will clearly explain the benefits and risks involved with each loan option. CAMB is also urging consumers to learn the loan terms most commonly used in the popular alternative loan products. Common terms include:
1. Life Cap – the maximum interest rate allowed during the life of the loan.
2. Negative Amortization (Neg-Am) or Deferred Interest – an increase in the mortgage debt that occurs when the monthly payment is not large enough to cover the entire interest due.
3. Recast – to recalculate the monthly payment on a loan so that the loan will be fully paid off during the remaining term of the loan.
4. Amortize – to fully pay down the balance of a loan including the principal and interest over a specific period of time.
5. Margin – fixed percent interest paid over the index. This is also known as the "lenders markup" which is similar to purchasing a product at a store and paying the cost of service. The margin is combined with the index to determine the interest rate charged.
6. Index – the interest rate in adjustable rate mortgages (ARM's) are based on various indices that may change as often as month to month. As they fluctuate, the payment on the mortgage also fluctuates. Homeowners with ARM's should check their loan documents to see which index is tied to their loan.
Three commonly used indices:
COFI (11th District Cost of Funds Index) – represents the weighted-average cost of savings, borrowings, and advances of the 11th District members of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco.
MTA (12-Month Treasury Average Index) – based on preceding 12-month average of treasury yields. The treasury yields are published by the Federal Reserve Board on the first Tuesday of each month.
LIBOR (London Inter-Bank Offered Rate) – the rate London based banks offer each other for inter-bank deposits. It is also known as the rate at which a fellow London bank can borrow money from other banks.
This information will offer key clarifications for homeowners but it does not replace the value of sitting down with a broker to discuss their particular situation. The California Association of Mortgage Brokers offers a toll-free consumer information hotline, which puts consumers in touch with local mortgage brokers who can answer their questions. All CAMB brokers adhere to a strict code of ethics and are experts in their field. Consumers can go online to www.cambweb.org to find a member broker in their area.

My two fav quotes - "He told me it wasn't as cold as you think it might be," Jones said.and "We would prefer that people don't climb naked," Jones said. "It could be distracting if you're driving. If you see a naked guy climbing, you might drive off the road."A friend of mine led Madam G down at the Gunks in the buff one night back in the 90's. He had a headlamp which he used sparingly during the climb. He was nowhere near being the 1st to have done naked climbing down at the Gunks.

In 2013 King County saw an average of nearly one drug related death per day, the highest count in 15-years, according to the latest edition of an annual University of Washington study released Wednesday.
The 312 drug related deaths in 2013 represent a 30% increase from 2009. Capitol Hill retains the unfortunate distinction of being an area where all types of drug overdoses occur, said the report's author Dr. Caleb Banta-Green.
"Capitol Hill is kind of the home to everything. You see methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, and prescription opiates. You have a lot of mortality there," Banta-Green said. "The good thing is you have good treatment access." Continue reading

When we first started in business, the IBM Selectric typewriter was our only tool for setting type, as the old hot type was thankfully on its way out. If it werent for the offset newsprint press and the demise of the letterpress, John and I would probably not have been able to go into business, and certainly wouldnt have been able to be in business forty years later. We got in on the ground floor of the new age in newspapers, and were able to start up a paper with very little investment and no training in setting hot type.
After the Selectric, we bought huge blue Compugraphic typesetting equipment, which was much better, but still slow and time-consuming, and as big as a desk. Reporters had to type or write out stories for the person who was the typesetter to type on the Compugraphic machine. The typist had to be extremely good and accurate, since you couldnt see what you were typing, unlike a typewriter. We were lucky to have had some good ones, Bernice Engel and Christie Hughes holding the position for the longest.
Then came the computer! Our first computers were the tiny Apple IIs. They had eight and a half inch screens, and were little rectangles that took up no more room than a twenty-pound sack of flour. Jerry Foster, who taught Project Science at the Winona Junior High, had one of the first ones I saw, and he called it his portable computer, because it was light enough to carry from work to home. But you wouldnt carry it around to the coffee house or take it on vacation.
Reporters and artists could compose on the computer, but we still had to print out the story, wax the back of the copy, and stick it on a page in the way it would appear in the paper. The artists were able to do the same, but still had to cut art elements out of what were called clip art books. We did the page layout at long drafting tables that we made ourselves, sticking the elements on the pages with hot wax, so you could move an element if it didnt go on right.
As the computers progressed, so did the software, and soon we were able to not only share all the information with everyone else in the company on the server, but then could compose all the pages electronically, called pagination. So now, the reporters write their stories on their computers, the graphic artists compose the advertising, and we can take the information from the server to make each page, which is then sent electronically to the pressroom.
What this means is that we can get our last page to the press at say, 5 oclock, and a couple of hours later, the papers are collated, stuffed with inserts and delivered to the carriers, who then deliver them to our readers. In the old days, before we had our own presses, it was sometimes a twelve-hour turnaround, or more, before the carriers got their papers.
Our entire office, except for the bookkeeping department, works on iMacs of some sort news, sales, graphics, circulation everyone has a Mac. We have Mac laptops, and Macs that sit on our desks. Some of us have iPhones, or iPads, all due to Steve Jobs. He is called a visionary by the media, and I guess thats the right word. But what I admire most, not being a techie by any means, is how intuitive his computers and other gadgets are. Except for a few in-house training sessions when we get new software, or workshops at conventions, no one except our graphic artists needed professional training to run our Apple computers. There are a few rules to follow, but other than that, anyone can just sit down, push some keys, and a product appears.
Id call Steve Jobs a revolutionary, like Benjamin Franklin or Thomas Jefferson. He was the sort of person whose intellect, combined with the freedoms we enjoy in a democratic and capitalist society, knows no boundaries.

Stinky Cigar Ashtray 3.0
Andrew Nagy
Posted: December 15, 2010
The popular Stinky Cigar Ashtray, a punchbowl-shaped, stainless steel receptacle, has been redesigned and is now available in color.
The new Stinky Cigar Ashtray is taller than the original and smaller in diameter. The new design, though, still holds as much material, about 1.5 quarts, as the original. Attached to the rim of the new ashtray are four stirrups, or cigar holders, which were part of the original design.
Stinky, the creator of the ashtray that now bears his name, says he was inspired to create an ashtray that could be imprinted with a manufacturer's logo on the side.
However, the chrome stainless steel was not the optimum background for imprinting, and so Stinky decided to apply a powder-coated finish to the redesigned ashtray.
The new powder-coated ashtrays are available in either jet black or chocolate brown, and sell for a suggest price of $37.50.
Visit StinkyCigar.com/retailers to find the nearest dealer.
Stinky's also makes an even bigger model, which you can see in this video.

DescriptionThe size of the main memory of a SIMATIC CPU depends on the following parameter settings:
It is particularly effective to change these parameters with CPU types that have small main memories.
A significant part of the main memory used by the CPU for programs is taken up by the diagnostics buffer of the CPU. Here you have to decide how many messages are required by your application in the diagnostics buffer.
Fig. 1: Setting options for the number of messages in the diagnostics buffer of the CPU
You can also change the number of communication jobs. You can read the requirement in your application in the "Communication jobs of which currently loaded" line (Fig. 4). Change the maximum number as necessary. Here, you must take into account a reserve of approx. 30% is achieved. You can also change the message texts in this dialog.

I don't know that I placed this in the right catagory. Sorry if I did't.
So I was just thinking about how easy Echinacea is to grow. We have a few packs of seeds that we can use to grow them and get the plants. I Have known for a while that Echinacea is a good remedy for illnesses and such and started wondering how you use it. If I'm not mistaken, you need to dry the root before using it. I just don't know how to go about drying it. Can anyone tell me how I would dry it and what the best way to use it is? |

iluvbonsai, I am new to herbal medicine and have recently purchased two books which are very informative and which I recommend, "Growing 101 Herbs That Heal" by Tammi Hartung and "Herbal Recipes for Vibrant Health" by Rosemary Gladstar. According to Tammi Hartung, the roots of echinacea are harvested in the spring or fall when they are 2 1/2 to 3 years old. Roots can be left whole, chopped into small chunks (1-2 inches), or sliced. They are placed on a nonmetal screen out of direct sunlight and with good air circulation. The roots will take one week to several weeks to dry and feel brittle when they are completely dry. Ms. Tartung writes that aerial parts, flowers and seeds of echinacea can be harvested from the second growing season on. She recommends cutting the upper half to third of the plant. The plants are then tied into bundles and hung upside down for drying or placed on a nonmetal screen and turned frequently to ensure even drying. Decoctions are prepared from the roots: 1 cup of water is brought to a boil in a saucepan. One teaspoon of dried root is then added to the boiling water, the heat is reduced and the root is simmered for 15-20 minutes. Strain and drink. Infusions are prepared from leaves and flowers: 1 cup of boiling water is poured over 1 teaspoon of dried herb, covered and allowed to steep for 10-15 minutes. Strain and drink. Echinacea supports the immune system and helps in the prevention of colds and flu. |

BOZEMAN - Police have released more details about a Monday morning shooting at a northwest Bozeman residence that left two people dead.
While they are still not releasing the identities of the victims, police say a 32-year-old woman is dead from a gunshot wound to the chest and a 31-year-old man is dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head in what they are investigating as a murder-suicide, according to a press release issued Monday afternoon. Police are not yet releasing their identities pending notification of their family members.
A high-powered rifle and a handgun were found at the scene, Bozeman Lt. Steve Crawford said. There was one round fired from each and it appears they were fired by the same person, Crawford said.
The shooting took place in a bedroom in the three-bedroom condo. While we know the exact address of this morning's shooting on Warbler Way in Bozeman, we are honoring a request from police to not yet release it until the families of the victims can be notified.
The call came in at 7:07 a.m. this morning. Two other people were in the residence on Warbler Way at the time; one of them, a roommate, called police to say that there was a domestic disturbance then they heard a noise like a "pop" or a gunshot, according to police.
We will continue to update this story as we receive more information.

Freaking amazing play it when I first started dating my husband freaking wish it wasn't his brothers so I could have finished it
This is an awesome game. I highly recommend giving it a try.
Bioshock's storyline is truly legendary. It was well balenced, and the Plasmids which were avalible added a new, comic to dispatch your foes (IE,siccing a swarm of bees onto a foe, using telekinesis to throw grenades and rockets back at hapless Splicers). And the Big Daddies, wow they were amazing. this game gets 10 stars, plus 2 thumbs up
i love this game even tho it scares the shit out of me lol
This game dark tragic story leads you on hours of adventure. This game desevers as many thumbs or stars as you have.
One of the greatest games of all time. Deffinatly my favorite 360 game. Although the "evil" ending disapointed me a bit :/ Oh well, still amazing.
i thought this game was going to be terrible, imagine my surprise when it wasn't. this was one of the few first person shooters that i went through repeatedly.
My roommate works at an EB(GameStop...yes I still call it EB). Didn't get to play it since he rented it. I cried a whole night. And to make matters worse my 360 has been broken forever. Going to get it back within a week or 2. -_-
Once we get it back I am buying the game. =O
This is, by far, my favorite 360 game yet. Everything about it is amazing -- graphics, sound, game play, atmosphere, etc.
I'm also very happy with the fact that there is no multi-player. I believe that would take away from the sense of immersion that this game does so wonderfully.
The graphics, gameplay, music were all top notch. I gave it a perfect 10, awesome game. A multiplayer option would have been nice, but still a must play for any xbox owner.
wonderful game.
story, graphics, gameplay were all good.
I don't really like FPS's, but I really enjoyed this one.
Bioshock is one of the most amazing games I've ever played. It's not like anything you've played, trust me. It isn't perfect, but its a must have for any 360 owner!
great game... anything that can get my PS3 fanboy friends to pick up a 360 must be good... definately a rent tho.. i beat it in less than a week and wished i had rented it instead. graphics are some of the best out there and so is the gameplay and immersion... it just seems that they are making games shorter and shorter these days and i wish they wouldnt.

Access to the apartment where Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his family lived from 1784 to 1787 is from the rear of the building rather than the main street. That fact alone reveals much about the experience visitors will find at the only residence of the genius composer that remains intact in
Getting to Mozarthaus may require a bit of diligence, but that's part of the charm. Once there the entrance to Mozarthaus will also require some patience to find.
Mozarthaus is easy to spot from St. Stephen's Cathedral. The cathredral is a centerpiece of the Austrian capital recognized by its elaborately patterned, colored roof featuring nearly a quarter of a million glazed tiles. The roof alone makes it one of the most photographed landmarks in
From the rear of the cathedral go roughly 100 to 150 yards toward a small arch and walk through it. The archway opens to a narrow street that looks more like an alley than a street. Domgasse, or
That's because the apartments above the museum are still in use today, creating an atmosphere that Mozart still lives at the site that was his home about 250 years ago. And, in a sense, the spirit of the great composer really does thrive in a city of music where the citizens never get enough of Mozart and Strauss.
To walk up the ancient stone stairs and see a sign over the door that simply says "Mozart" creates goose bumps for just about any visitor. Here life goes on in the building just as it did two and half centuries ago and, as such, there is an aura about the museum that captures the imagination.
For roughly 60 years, Mozart's apartment has been a museum in one fashion or another. Much has changed in recent years allowing the museum to expand to two additional floors. Today the focus within the apartment centers totally around the period in which Mozart lived and worked while in residence there. It is the largest, most elegant and expensive of the composer's homes.
Curators have been unable to find most of Mozart's original furniture and furnishings. For that reason the rooms of the apartment/museum are appointed as accurately as possible from written accounts of the composer's life.
When combined with other elements of this unique venue, it becomes practically impossible not to feel a sense of being in the maestro's presence during a visit. The design is intentional. It is meant to be an interactive venue, rather than a stuffy memorial that fails to capture the spirit of the man who lived there.
It was in this location that Mozart wrote his world famous comic opera "The Marriage of Figaro." The composition thrives even today as a cornerstone of operatic repertoire, ranking sixth among the most frequently performed operas around the world.
It was also in Mozarthaus where three of the six Haydn Quartets were written, but the back-story makes the story even more intriguing. During the time that Mozart occupied this particular Viennese home, he was often visited by Joseph Haydn and Franz Schubert where the three masters would hold "jam sessions." It must have seemed like an 18th century version of the Beatles as the trio of geniuses improvised music during the era of powdered wigs and silk knickers.
The apartment itself consists of four large rooms plus two smaller ones and a kitchen. Among the treasured artifacts at Mozarthaus is the stunning Flute Clock, a magnificent timepiece made around 1790, which plays the "Andante for a Cylinder in a Small Organ." Many experts believe Mozart composed the music specifically for the clock.
In a city enveloped by music, Mozarthaus is a treasure to discover.
Mozarthaus is a museum in tune with the times.

I decided to introduce GREEN back into our daily afternoon snack, today's choice: ROMAINE LETTUCE. For those of you who aren't familiar, romaine lettuce is an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin K, folate, and vitamin C. Romaine lettuce is also a very good source of dietary fiber and 4 minerals. In order to keep the romaine from being too overbearing in taste I added an array of yummy fruit. If you are having trouble getting your kids to drink something GREEN, how about naming your drink something fun, like THE GREEN HULK. Use your creativity. You'll be amazed at how quickly it will change your child's perception.
Also included in today's smoothie were my new favorite Chia Seeds. I use The Chia Co. Chia Seeds are the richest plant based source of Omega 3, dietary fiber, protein and antioxidants.
This smoothie is smooth in taste and KID FRIENDLY.
2 large leaves of organic romaine
2 ripe bananas, peeled
1 organic orange, peeled and seeded
1 mango
1/2 pineapple cored (can add more pineapple to increase sweetness)
1/2 cup water
1 cup ice
1-2 tbs black chia seeds
Yield: 4

Valve/engine woes. Should I call it a day?
tbird69 Posts: 11Who chose the engine? .. well there in lies the misunderstanding ... my mechanic couldn't find an engine so I called around .. junkyard said we got twin cam and we got single cam ... I didn't know which so I asked mechanic what I had , he said single but that he would go do a compression check on engine and check it out ... nice guy actually ... the Forester the engine was in looked exactly the same as mine .. engine was good, he said go for it ... but it was the DOHC ... which were in Foresters in '99 ...
His side is that I picked out the engine and he went to check it out as a favor and that I didn't do my homework .... I'm trying to keep this from becoming a finger pointing contest ... the junkyard has a very good reputation so I'm hoping they will be simpathetic .. the reality is the engine doesn't fit ... am I in Fantasyland thinking they will take it back? -
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,742
tbird69 Posts: 11The good news is they have a SOHC engine and are willing to do the exchange!!! I'm going to cross reference the engine number first to make sure it will work ... wikipedia has a site I found where I can decode the serial numbers ... the yard I'm working with is called "Just [non-permissible content removed]" ... I had heard they were good to deal with , now I know it;'s true .. Craig, the owner has been great to work with ... and my shop guy and I have learned alot about Subaru in the last 2 weeks ....
Thank you guys for all your help!!! I'll let you know how it works out
Be Well .. Peace -
tbird69 Posts: 11Thanx ... my concern now is that the SOHC engine is from a 2001 Impreza ... which I looked up online ... it's Intake volume is regulated by the use of a MAP sensor, unlike the EJ253 (which I had) which uses a MAF sensor. If I understand your previous post, as long as I get a SOHC "long block" use my intake manifold I should be golden ... does the sensor become a mute point then?
It ain't over yet .... -
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,742If the mechanical portions of the engine are identical (crankshaft/pistons, camshaft, etc) and the ports match up to the parts you have, if you install all of your own components on the engine block including sensors, you should have no problems as a result of sensor/computer incompatibility. If something is different, your woes are likely to continue.
If the replacement engine is not overhauled, be sure to check for head gasket problems before you install it! No reason to move from one headache to another.... or tear the engine out of the car yet again!2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon -
tbird69 Posts: 11so here's the new twist ... was ably to switch engines at junkyard... it's installed ... now we get the AT Oil Temp light flashing and check engine light on .. plus tranny is stuck in one gear ... the code is 1705 , at least that's what they told me ....2 other points ....
mechanic didn't use my intake manifold, the one on the junkyard engine connected all but on sensor on intake ... mmmmm a clue perhaps .... I was also wondering if that AT oil screen needed to be changed .... years ago I remember that being a simple fix when you thought you had major problems ... any thoughts!!!
Thanx!! been 5 weeks without car now .. good thing I use a bicycle alot -
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,742Why did he not use your intake? That could very well be the source of problem, at least on the P1705 code.
Here is information on that, located at this website.
P1705 excessively high or low voltage input from TPS sensor
When testing a tps sensor code like this P1705 code, check the signal wire voltage for any signs of glitch. This can be done manually without running the engine. With key on engine off, monitor the signal wire voltage from idle (close throttle) and up to high idle (WOT or wide open throttle position) by moving the throttle linkage. The transistion from idle to high idle should be reflected in the voltage readings like a gradually increasing pattern. If there is a sudden change or a glitch, replace the TPS sensor. Please note also that a regular tps sensor usually has 3 wires: a voltage reference wire, a signal wire and a ground wire. Except the signal wires, the other 2 wires should have steady voltage readings regardless of the throttle linkage position.
For advance testing, garages can usually monitor the voltage of the TPS signal wire while the engine is running. Using a special scanner, the voltage can be watched while cruising in order to see if the value of the signal wire voltage will change. This is particularly important if the code P1705 only appears intermittently. For precaution, check the integrity of the signal wires from the TPS sensor plug-in up to 12 inches away. To do this, splice the wiring harness and check if there is any short (bump) in the signal wire which could be rubbing metal before this code came on.
With regard to the AT Oil Temp light and non-shifting, I wonder if there is a connector not properly seated on the transmission - it sounds to me like the engine control module and transmission control module are not talking! They have to talk if you want the tranny to shift out of 1st. By default, it will work in P, R, N, and 1 without input from the engine control module, but that unit tells it when/if to up or down shift through the other forward gears.2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon -

It also feels like it slips into neutral before hitting the lower gear really hard at low speed city driving. The computer is not showing any problems with lights or codes about the transmission and the dealer has had it 6 times attempting to resolve this issue with no luck. I say LEMON!

subie7owner Posts: 1Thank everyone on this forum so much!--Subaru took care of me! I just had bent valve/damaged cylinder head/engine issue with a low mileage (43K) 2007 Subaru Forester, out of warranty due to being more than 7 years old. Based on the discussion in this forum, I knew what questions to ask, including whether Subaru could be contacted to help out. After sending the parts to the machine shop and identifying the relevant issues --two bent valves, damaged cylinder heads and some related engine issues, but timing belt OK--the service manager at my dealer called Subaru to discuss. Subaru paid for the engine work. I paid for new timing belt, since that service would be due soon and I would save labor costs by doing it now since engine was already open. NOTE: My circumstances were somewhat unusual since (1) there had never been any engine warnings or unusual sounds, the car simply wouldn't start one day (the tow truck driver correctly surmised that it wasn't the starter or fuel pump, but thought it might be the timing belt), (2) the dealer's mechanic hadn't come across anything like this before without there having been some triggering event (like a timing belt slipping), and (3) I had always taken my car to the same Subaru dealer regularly for service and they had a complete service record for my vehicle. I am very pleased that Subaru took care of me, and it was the right thing to do since this shows that Subaru stands by its product.

Well fans, Brett Favre pulled off one of his patent fourth-quarter miracles, and the Purple is 3-0, on top of the NFC North. So why do I have this queasy feeling? There are these uneasy questions. For starters, how can a team come into the Hump, lose its star running back on the first series, never make one first down, run for a net 58 yards, and for all practical purposes, beat you? Then, how long is Brett Favre going to last, much less throw miracle game-saving passes, taking this kind of a beating? The Niners regularly collapsed the pocket around him, pasting him just after he got rid of the ball. A less experienced QB probably would have taken another two or three sacks.
Of course, when your team passes 46 times and runs only 27, the opponents pass rush is bound to ratchet up. This leads to the question of why Adrian Peterson was relatively ineffective take away a couple of long runs and he probably averaged less than three yards a carry. One of the uncomfortable questions about this years Vikes is just how good is this offensive line, and what is its potential for quick improvement? There has been much brave talk about John Sullivan being cast from the same mold as Matt Birk, a perennial Pro Bowler, but it seemed as if a lot of stuff leaked through the center/guard gaps Sunday, and you wonder if he is just not big enough. Then there is Mr. Loadholt, a rookie, who moves at times as if he is carrying a load. Actually, I have to admit that with the exception of the missed block on the field goal (which Hutchinson shared responsibility for) Loadholt graded out pretty well. His massive size and enormous arms kept the pass rushers from penetrating the corner of the line and getting to Favre. If he continues to improve, he can be a fixture on the right side of the line for years to come.
Speaking of fixtures, one has to wonder if Coach Childress will be given the responsibility of coaching the Vikings after his contract runs out at the end of this season. Ill give him credit. Childress has assembled one of the most talented Viking teams in recent history. He has built this team to excel in the West Coast kick butt offense, of which he is a self proclaimed guru.
So where was the West Coast offense? We certainly didnt see it on Sunday. What we witnessed were predictable long hand-offs to Peterson or Taylor into the teeth of the Niners line. Where was the play action? Where were the quick slants and misdirection? You can say what you want about the dink and dunk offense, but it was very effective the last few weeks against teams keying on Peterson. It can also keep your quarterback from being killed.
So fans, its up to us. Try this. On Monday night, every time Brett gets ready to take a snap, shout PLAY ACTION! at your television set. Then maybe well get to see the fake to Adrian Peterson and a wide open bomb to Percy Harvin or Bernard Berrian.
No matter what, with Brett Favre at the helm, even Childress cant keep this Monday night matchup from being a heck of a show.

Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Mixtures
Name: Donald C. Status: educator Age: 40s Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: 10/1/2003
I teach 8th grade science. We are currently working on the concepts of pure vs mixture and solubility. I am creating a homework assignment to involve parents and have discovered that I am unsure of the definition of a homogeneous mixture. I know that homogeneous is a mixture that is uniform throughout. I know that a solution is a homogeneous mixture. Examples of kitchen solutions would include Kool-Aid, sugar water, honey, coffee, tea, and soda. I know that salsa or chicken soup, for example, would be a heterogeneous mixtures.
Question: Would powdered sugar (sugar and corn starch) be considered a homogeneous mixture or heterogeneous? Phrased another way, does a homogeneous mixture have to be a solution?
Hello Donald,
"Uniform throughout" refers to a lot of length scales. For example, a mixture of sugar and salt is definitely a heterogeneous mixture because the sugar and salt crystals are physically separate from one another (at least under a magnifying glass you can see the difference if not with the naked eye). A more sweeping definition of a homogenous mixture is that it is uniform at all macroscopic levels and methods of observation (or if you prefer, all macroscopic length scales). A heterogeneous mixture is not macroscopic at all levels of observation. So an alloy of two or more elements (like nickle and zinc) is a homogenous mixture, whereas a bunch of nickle and zinc filings mixed together in a bowl would be a heterogeneous mixture.
All that said, I believe that powdered sugar is a heterogeneous mixture because I think that close examination would reveal crystals of sugar distinct from the from the flakes of cornstarch. However, if I am incorrect and the sugar is literally dissolved into the cornstarch, it would be a heterogeneous mixture.
Finally, "solution" is the term chemists usually use synonymously with "homogenous mixture." However, "solution" is not as precise a concept and is sometimes used to describe heterogeneous mixtures as well.
Hope this was helpful,
Prof. T

Corporate greed. NF Power buying power from Nfld Hydro, owned by Fortis all the same group of greedy individuals. No consideration for the general public, just rake it in............. Bank of Canada interest rate is low. Any time you can get 5 percent on investment is good. Many small business, in NL are operating on far less than 10 percent and its because of greed by such corporations as NL power.

Just to put it into perspective, I too run my businesses without consideration for the general public. My sole objective is to rake it in. In case you missed the memo, business is about profits, The objective is making as much as possible while spending as little as possible. That is why it makes sense to sell power to subsidiary companies and accept the tax benefit, and that is why it makes sense to eliminate employees even though profits are increasing. Just rake it in - those are words I live by

If NL Power was able to borrow money during the recession and during the financial meltdown, then how could any increase in return be justified?

As an employee of Newfoundland Power I can confirm what others have said about the company, and not much positive. I am continually pushed to give more and take less while other employess below me take 75 paid sick days a year, yes that is seventy five. Waste everywhere, politics are rampant, but no need to change anything, senior people get their large salaries and bonuses for getting others to sacrifice, and we can pull 35 to 40 million down for Fortis. The PUB and Johnson are just actors in this theatre.

What is this "NL Power" or "Nfld and Labrador Power" people refer to? An imaginary company, like that football player's girlfriend? It's Newfoundland Power.

To Jay, I worked there too and got out. I wouldn't agree that they are understaffed. I would say that most people leading the company didn't know how to manage what they had, money was wasted in one place while another suffered, and the politics around the place was out of control. And there are too many people doing nothing, and no one doing anything about it. Terrible place to work. Hope they get what they deserve.

Nfld Power is hoping to get a quarter of the 7.9 percent domestic rate increase, to boost profits. So that is 2 percent of the the total, and they likely get little of that. Now the government power company is asuring us a 30-50 percent increase to cover Muskrat falls. And few have opposed that. AS A WHOLE MOST WANT IT. And most will tend to blame Nfld Power. who are actually restricted from bringing on any competitive power source. They now buy 93 percent of all power grom the government. And Nfld Power do the grunt work , and we love the Light and Power Boys when extreme weather puts us at risk. Where we are screwed by all the power companies is in Efficiency/ Conservation plans that can help customers save on power bills. If we save , they lose on revenue and profit. In other jurisdictions this is not allowed to be controlled by the power companies. Too bad we don't learn from others.

Only the truly idiotic would suggest that eliminating NL Power would result in lower rates....that is just stupid. NL Power has to face it's shareholders, they do a lot with very little, every expenditure is scrutinized to the nth degree, every dollar, and every employee is utilized to the extream. Unlike Hydro, who have access to an unlimited bank account. Can you imagine what would happen if there was no NL Power? Then you would see rates skyrocket to unbelievable heights. @ Jay...I can assure you that NL Power is not overstaffed, or overpaid...hydro perhaps, but not NL Power, who are cut to the bone in all departments.

I think it is time for one of two things to happen. Either competition be allowed into the retail electrical market in NL or NL Power be taken over by Nalcor. I am thinking there must be quite a bit of duplication of services that could be eliminated if it were one company. Since there will be no competition in the wholesale production of electricity for the next 50 years due to Muskrat falls we will need to keep it as low as possible for the next 50 years and that cannot be done by having several regulated entities providing all wanting 10-15 percent return for its investors. Also what NL Power has said is that if they do not get it services will suffer which I take to mean that they will take their return on equity anyway and just cut back on other things.

And while seeking 7.9 percent more form the domestic, the small to medium business sector is on average getting a bit over 1 percent proposed REDUCTION. And the big buiness, well they get a much reduced power rate compared compared to residential, some of which may be justified as they argue that the distribution cost to get them for that power is less. But then they are given an extra 28 percent discount to use MORE energy. Sound like a good conservation plan? Use more energy in winter, more oil for Holyrood, backload this on the residential consumer. Great plan! And conservation plans for the domestic customer? Among the worse in North America. Of course litte conservation helps keep the power demand up. And we need that to justify Muskrat Falls. Nfld power get 93 percent of their power from Nfld Hydro, and are now prevented from developing their own source. It is getting near economic for Nfld Power to bring on their own wind for example, that that is now against the law--- with the approval of our citizens that voted for MF and the other changes to the PUB etc. And remember it is our government power companies, Nfld Hydro and Nalcor who pushed for the high cost MF, Nfld Power wouuldn't touch that as a economic thing to do. Critize nfld Power where appropriate, but is a well run company is many, but not all respects. They could do much more to help keep costs down for the customers, but shareholders want more profit. It is a conflict of interest that is handled differently by other jurisdictions. And Johnson makes a little noise but is really with the shareholders, in my opinion. He certainly voted for MF and all the misery of continued higer rates that will bring.

The domestic rate hike proposed is 7.9 perccent for energy, not 7.2. And 7.2 is the average domestic increase when not considering the basic charge, we refer to that as the meter charge, which is unchanged. For the average electric heated house I calculate the increase as about 165 dollars per year. If it was 7.2 percent it would be about 150. But 165 is the applicable figure, and a difference of about 15 dollars per household. For all domestic, the difference between 7.2 and 7.9 is almost 4 million dollars extra from the domestic sector. Maybe someone could check my figures. Certainy 7.9 is the energy ratehike proposed, lets get that clear. What you and other media say is the spin intended by the company method of presenting data. And the cost for these hearing, and experts are all paid from the customer bills is about 1.25 million. Just put it on our tab, just like the 18 percent profit increase they seek.

Newfoundland Power in my opinion is the essence of corporate greed There is scarcely a time when they are not in front of the PUB looking for approval to take money out of the pockets of the rate payers. This company thrived for years and years when Newfoundland was a "have not" province dealing with with high unemployment and a struggling economy, but not NL Power. They have above average management wages and pension schemes. They are also good at wasting money. They recently spent over approximately $150,000 to improve the doorway at the headquarters building on Kenmount Road including a virtually useless set of elaborate steps that leads to nowhere. The steps go down to Kenmout Road, (their parking lot is on the side of the building) NL Power are continually suggesting that our power rates are "still one of the lowest in Canada". I suggest that this is more of a complaint on their part, and they are doing everything to correct that. This greedy company should be paid off and sent packing. The province has Newfoundland Hydro which already supplies power to much of the province, why not all of it. Why this unnecessary NL Power? If this were to happen the only people at NL Power who would not be needed are the top executive managers and the board of directors, all others would be absorbed by Hydro. Unfortunately this will never happen but you can be assured that NL Power will never stop looking for money. I would be surprised if they have not already started their nest rate increase application before this round of hearings are over.

The 7.2% is nothing more than a smokescreen. What they really hope to get is around 4% which will be 2% more than they need. By asking for 7.2% they will get at least 4% with the support of the consumer advocate. Everyone will be happy, except the consumer.

10% for a company that faces almost no risk on it's investments - that's BS.

The fair return for Newfoundland Power is no guaranteed return on investment (ROI). If they want a ROI, they have to earn it like everyone else, not handed to them on a taxpayer's silver platter. We don't want to end up like Nova Scotia where Emera and Nova Scotia Power have legal rights to a 9% ROI, do we?
- Jack
- January 16, 2013 - 07:41
Maybe if Newfoundland and Labrador's electrical system is administered under one company, and not two of them, Newfoundland Power for power delivery and maintenance and Nalcor for power generation, this province will not be in a rate increase mess. Perhaps merging all electrical companies into one in Newfoundland and Labrador should be a pre-budget consultation idea. Fortis can still sell power and maintain electrical facilities, but not in this province. In addition, when utilities propose rate hikes, it should be done for multiple years and not on a yearly basis to reduce PUB hearing cost. This will take a page out of Nova Scotia where utility providers must propose rate hikes over multiple years before their Utility and Review Board.

N&L Power has behaved like a fat cat for years. It can, because it operates in a monopolistic environment with a guaranteed market. The existing situation allows it to be overstaffed, overpaid, and over equipped. Over the years the PUB has allowed this to happen. I don't care what the wealthy shareholders get, and the PUB should not be an agent for these shareholders. It's time for the PUB to start looking out for the consumers. If N&L Power wants to ensure a healthy return for its shareholders, it should start cutting costs and learn how to run an efficient operation.
- Jay
- January 16, 2013 - 12:10
NF Power is definitely understaffed and they are definitely underpaid. I used to work for Fortis, got out of there 4 years ago and it was the smartest decision I ever made.

Review Noble Manor Bed and Breakfast on TripAdvisor
Read what some of our guests have had to say!
We love our stay at the Noble Manor. Bonnie provides a great atmosphere that is warm, friendly, and relaxing. The inn is within walking distance to the downtown shops, bars, and restaurants. Bonnie gave us recommendations on which places to eat and visit and the best routes to get to them. Every recommendation was perfect for our needs. The manor's rooms were well decorated and comfortable. Although the manor was full, we didn't hear or see other patrons until the next morning at breakfast. The breakfast was delicious and consisted of eggs Benedict with fresh fruit. Bonnie prepared it fresh when we arrived at the table. We look forward to planning another trip to this area and staying here again.

text: New 'Pro-Sin' Religion Extremely Popular In Infantry Units G-Had June 28, 2012 Marine Corps 16 Comments Follow Duffel Blog: KANEOHE BAY, HI – The newest faith to practice aboard Marine Corps Base Hawaii doesn't meet in a chapel, a synagogue, or a mosque. In fact, it usually meets at a local strip club. "Shots all around!" shouts Navy Lt. Eddie Moore, as he and seven other infantry Marines and sailors finished off their second bottle of Absinthe for the evening, slurping it off the Filipina hooker they'd hired. Lt. Moore has the distinction of being the first chaplain in the entire Armed Forces to practice Khlysty (Pronounced Ca-lis-tee), a relatively unknown religion that is becoming more and more popular in many Marine Corps infantry units. A recent poll conducted by the Marine Corps showed that as many as 17% of all infantrymen have attended at least one Khlysty service in the past three months. Khlysty, virtually unknown in the United States until recently, was a splinter group that broke off from the Russian Orthodox Church about three hundred years ago and was practiced most famously by the Russian mystic Rasputin. Their cardinal belief is that the path to salvation and repentance leads through excessive sinning: the greater the sin, the holier the sinner. One new convert is Corporal Richard Kim, an infantry machine gun team-leader with 3rd Battalion 3rd Marines and Khlysty cleric-in-training. "It's perfectly simple," said Corporal Kim while receiving oral sex in a hotel elevator. "If confession and repentance are the key to salvation, I have to be able to confess and repent for something, right? Hey, does your mom know you're out?" According to Lt. Moore, Khlysty religious services are usually carried out every Friday and Saturday night throughout downtown Waikiki, usually starting at Club Femme Nu or Hawaii By Night, and ending wherever the congregation passes out until the next morning. When Lt. Moore first arrived at Marine Corps Base Hawaii, he wasn't sure he would even have a congregation. But during an early prayer session conducted while balls-deep in a 250 lb local woman, he met Lance Corporal Christopher Hamilton. "Yeah, my squad was totally running a train on this bitch," said Lance Corporal Hamilton, "when I realized that one of the guys was our Chaplain. I was like, 'what the fuck you doing Chaps?' and he said he was at prayer. I really didn't want to wake up the next morning for church, so I converted on the spot." Lt. Moore said that he ministers to both officers and enlisted personnel. "Actually the officers have been some of our most enthusiastic converts," Moore said. "For about a month or two I had to park myself down at the hospital every Saturday night for when they started trickling in with blood alcohol levels around .41." Still, despite the success he's been having, Moore says there have been some minor problems. "Since Khlysty doesn't believe in children, we actually have a ban on marriage. For too many grunts, that's half their monthly pay right there." "I eventually had to institute a rule that they could only marry lesbians for their contract marriages: it's not completely kosher, but it suits my congregation." There have also been issues with another relatively-new infantry-based religion: the Malamatis, based off an eighth century Sufi Muslim group who believed in proving their piety by conducting outrageous acts in public. "We tried doing an interfaith event with them last month," Lieutenant Moore said, "but they trashed our strip club, beat up the bouncer, and pissed all over the floor."
