Live a glamorous summer with Porsche Design
Elegant and awaited new products that stress and enhance the philosophy of a brand
Last year Porsche Design celebrated its first forty years. This year, the important brand under license to Rodenstock is again the star of the season's most exclusive trends and fashions. Refined new models and new color variations for a glamorous summer (Mod. P8478 Col.Y with interchangeable lens system).
Sophisticated, elegant style for the Porsche Design woman of unique class and taste. High-tech, flexible materials create sun models that are real fashion statements. Lightweight frames of very high quality titanium in an aviator or cat-eye style are enhanced by details in polyamide that make trendy accessories perfect for any occasion. (Mod. P8567 Col.A)
The new Porsche Design proposals have a more classical flavor, a more vintage atmosphere and character reinterpreted for this season in fashion hues of white and gold. (Mod. P8545 Col.A)
For men, a model inspired by "natural" shapes is available in two calibers and four classic colors. The technology of this Porsche Design proposal is perfect with an impeccable, casual or elegant look. (Mod. P8573 Col.D)
An important development in the Porsche Design collection is the awaited return of legendary model P8508, unisex eyewear with a unique and unmistakable style that has never ceased to amaze and be renewed.
Two different calibers (60 and 62) to guarantee maximum comfort and contemporary design for these historical aviator sunglasses with double temples, now available in three new lens colors for a special summer edition – tobacco brown (I), Windsor wine (J) and majolica blue (K) – which join the two traditional colors of green and olive. A complete and classy spectrum of colors that mirror the style and trends of the Porsche Design Fashion 2013 collection.

WIN: Plans for Yorkshire Beagle Breeding Farm Rejected!
We did it.
East Riding Council in Yorkshire has just rejected the awful proposal to build a new beagle breeding facility in Grimston which would have sent thousands of puppies to suffer in painful and deadly experiments.
The council's enlightened decision comes after a concerted campaign by people who care about animals. In the space of a week, almost 10,000 compassionate PETA supporters mobilised to send messages opposing the application, and it clearly paid off.
This is a significant victory for beagles. At the facility proposed by the company B & K … Read more.

The 3850 seems to be a bit of a silent card in the sense that we haven't heard too much about it since its release; everyone is so wrapped up in the 8800GT that people are beginning to forget what exactly AMD have on offer. This is great news for NVIDIA but not so great for AMD.
Following on with the overclocking theme that's been in our graphics card test bed over the past few weeks, we have the TOP version of the 3850 from ASUS today. We'll have a look at how it performs and where exactly it sits in the market, with our main goal to see if it's really worth considering as a graphics card for people on a budget.

"Brooke Crothers at CNET says Windows RT, which runs on ARM-based chips, could 'stumble out of the gate,'" Yarow reports. "He believes that Microsoft's PC partners, like HP, and chip-makers are struggling to get the ARM-based Windows RT working perfectly."
Yarow reports, "Microsoft's tablet operating system could be delayed until the start of next year for all tablets other than the Surface. At that point Apple will be on the fourth generation of iPad."

For the last eleven years, I have been honored to represent the people of Arizona in the United States Senate. I have worked hard, and that hard work has made a difference.
Yet, these are serious times. And in serious times, experience counts.
I want to continue to put my experience to work for Arizona, and I am now in a position, along with my colleague and friend, John McCain, to do even more for our state and country.
So today, I announce my candidacy for re-election as your U.S. Senator from our great state of Arizona.
Campaigns are like other things in life that bring out what is most important to us – namely faith, family, and friends. I would like to begin by introducing some of the people who mean so much to me, the members of my immediate family.
A senator must listen to constituents, and I've found that meeting folks throughout the state is a rewarding, sometimes even humbling experience.
In my first year in the Senate in 1995, we took a swing through southern Arizona.
The first stop was the Horseshoe Café in Benson for a meeting with community leaders.
I went in and asked the café cashier about the Jon Kyl breakfast meeting. She replied: "Oh, it's upstairs, but he's not here yet."
I recalled the verse from Proverbs: "With humility comes wisdom."
Because of the way I was brought up, I still find it difficult to talk about myself and my accomplishments. But if voters are to rehire me, they deserve to know what I have done, what I've tried to accomplish, and what I want to do.
I believe in principle, and like many Arizonans I am a common-sense conservative.
In the Senate, you have to work with others – and I do.
I have earned a reputation as a Senator who works in an inclusive manner to bring people together – regardless of their party or ideology – to accomplish serious and meaningful things that help people and are good for our country.
Some of these I will outline for you today.
Because I represent all Arizonans, I listen to all sides. And I won't seek voter support by pitting one group against another, as some other candidates do.
In America, we want everyone to be successful.
I believe I have at least three major qualities that make for a successful public servant.
First, no one has ever doubted my work ethic. It came from my parents, and it's who I am.
Hard work has enabled me to help Arizonans from all walks of life and also to earn the respect to be in a position to influence others. And the results have been good for Arizona.
As a member of a House-Senate conference committee at the end of 2003, for example, I was one of a few people who worked very late every night for weeks to write legislation to reform Medicare – and to provide a new prescription-drug benefit to seniors, including more than 600,000 who live in Arizona.
To combat illegal immigration, I have worked from my first years in the Senate – when it was hard to get people to listen – to secure our borders.
For example:
• Legislation I introduced and got passed more than doubled the number of Border Patrol agents and increased the number of Customs Service personnel fighting illegal immigration.
• I secured $180 million over four years to ensure that Arizona hospitals continue to provide quality health care to Arizonans, despite the burden imposed by illegal immigration.
• After years of hard work, I won a historic water compromise for Arizona that resolved the water rights claims of Indians and non-Indian groups and reduced our CAP repayment obligation.
• To protect Arizona's environmental treasures, I worked to secure passage of such bills as the Petrified Forest National Park Expansion Act, the Walnut Canyon National Monument Expansion Act, and the Yuma East Wetlands Restoration Act.
• And I won authorization of the Ecological Restoration Institute at Northern Arizona University to help restore the health of Arizona's forests – one of my passions.
• Finally, I spent hundreds of hours out of the public spotlight over the years as a member of the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee, working to better protect Americans from those who threaten us – hard work out of the limelight, but critical to our nation's security.
A second important and essential quality of good public service is honesty and integrity.
My parents taught me the importance of being forthright and doing the right thing regardless of the personal consequences. I try to follow Mark Twain's advice: "Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest."
I will never forget attending a luncheon at the end of my freshman year at the University of Arizona where Senator Barry Goldwater spoke. "What is right is not always popular," he said, "and what is popular is not always right."
A few weeks ago, both John McCain and I had to cast votes that we believed were right, but not politically popular. We had to oppose our president and our party.
We opposed the massive energy bill that was stuffed with all sorts of pork, but does little to address the energy crisis facing this country, while imposing new costs on Arizona power consumers.
We voted against the final version of the transportation bill, with over 6,000 spending earmarks and many questionable expenditures, like the Alaska "bridge to nowhere." A key senator bragged that he had stuffed the bill like a turkey. He was right. The bill cost too much and also was grossly unfair to Arizona.
A third quality I offer Arizona voters is experienced leadership, both in domestic and foreign policy.
With the serious challenges our country faces – especially in the war on terror – experience counts and leadership is essential.
I have been elected by my peers to chair the Senate Republican Policy Committee, making me one of six members of the elected Senate leadership.
As a result, I've played a key role on important issues such as the confirmation of judges – judges, I might add, who will not apply their personal agenda in striking "under God" from the pledge of allegiance, or use foreign law to interpret the U.S. Constitution, or allow the condemnation of private property for other than public use.
My leadership role enabled me to win a federal exemption in this year's energy bill so Arizona is not required to use expensive blended gasoline in the summer.
This saved a considerable amount of motorists' money at the gas pumps, as well as ensuring cleaner air for all Arizonans.
I am committed to our veterans and to providing them quality health care.
John McCain and I worked together to win passage of legislation providing a more fair allocation of veterans' funding in Arizona, resulting in our receiving the largest increase of any in America and providing more services for deserving veterans in Arizona.
I led the effort to defeat the dangerous Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, and was a leader in establishing a missile defense for the United States – neither of which were popular positions when I started, but both of which commanded a majority position in the end.
Particularly rewarding for me was winning passage of federal legislation to keep open the Thomas Pappas School for homeless children in Maricopa County, the site of my re-election campaign announcement in Phoenix. I commend the Pappas School for taking in about 20 children who had to flee the Gulf Coast recently because of Hurricane Katrina.
Part of leadership is also working with others, including Democrats across the aisle. For a decade, I worked with Senator Diane Feinstein of California on behalf of victims' rights. Together, we won passage of our Justice for All Act – signed into law by the President last fall – the most comprehensive federal legislation ever passed to protect the rights of crime victims.
I also want to say something about my future goals.
Based on my travels around the state, and communications from constituents, it's clear to me that Arizonans have several key priorities. Illegal immigration is at the top of the list.
Recently, with Senator John Cornyn of Texas, I introduced a bill to restore order to our immigration system through tough, yet sensible measures to enforce the law at our borders, as well as in the interior and workplace.
I remain committed to fighting and winning the War on Terror, re-authorizing the Patriot Act, and addressing our shortfalls in intelligence capabilities.
I want to ensure that the new Medicare prescription-drug benefit is implemented on time for the benefit of our seniors and that all Americans have access to quality health care.
We now approach public education differently since passage of the federal No Child Left Behind Act. I'm committed to seeing that every child has an equal opportunity for academic achievement.
We need to address the serious energy problem with a multi-faceted strategy to move towards real energy independence for our country.
We are currently dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, trying to determine how best to rebuild, and how to pay for it without adding to the government deficit. I take that challenge very seriously.
I just received the top rating in the United States Senate from the nation's No. 1 taxpayer watchdog organization, Citizens Against Government Waste, for my voting record against wasteful government spending. And that's the place to start in offsetting the federal commitment to hurricane victims – not raising taxes as a Democrat Senate candidate promised to do.
Nothing would do more harm to the economy, families, and job creation than raising taxes. We need to make tax relief permanent, not eliminate it – and that includes permanent relief from the unfair death tax.
As I said, in serious times, experience counts. I want to continue to put my experience to work for you. That's why I am running for re-election. My commitment is to work as hard as I can, in a straightforward and inclusive way to represent you well.
I would like to end as I began, by thanking you for coming today and for extending your friendship and support to me and my family. I see many familiar faces in this inspiring crowd, including many individuals who have urged me to run again. As I look out at all of you, I cannot help but think of a line by the famous Irish poet William Butler Yeats:
"Think where man's glory most begins and ends,
And say my glory was I had such friends."

Deadly African virus threatens British pig industry
23 November 2009
Deadly African swine fever virus poses a threat to Britain's pig industry, following an outbreak in northern Russia. There is no cure or vaccine for the highly contagious virus that kills nearly all pigs that catch it.
Scientists at the BBSRC's Institute for Animal Health (IAH), and the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) say that the threat should be taken seriously. The virus came to Georgia in south-eastern Europe in 2007. Since then it has recently spread 1,200 miles, close to European Union.
"Our genetic fingerprinting of the virus in Georgia indicated that it came from South-Eastern Africa. We believe that the virus was transported to Georgia, which is on the Black Sea, by ship." says Dr Linda Dixon, Head of the ASF research programme within the IAH. "Most likely the ships were carrying pork meat or products that were contaminated with ASFV, the waste from which was eaten by pigs in Georgia." The IAH is the specialist diagnostic reference laboratory for ASF on behalf of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), and Defra.
From Georgia the virus spread into neighbouring Armenia, Azerbaijan and southern parts of the Russian Federation. In October of this year the virus jumped to St. Petersburg in north-west Russia. Infected, recycled pig waste from southern Russia transported to the north is again believed to have been the means by which the virus was spread. The virus can survive for months in cold store meat, and for years in frozen carcasses.
IAH's Dr Chris Oura, Head of the OIE reference laboratory and designated OIE expert for ASF, says "All parts of the animal can contain the virus, such that contaminated offal and off-cuts fed to pigs are likely to result in infection. The virus causes a haemorrhagic fever, with signs of disease being 5 to 15 days after infection. Death usually follows within 1 to 7 days of the appearance of the illness."
There is no vaccine against ASFV; attempts to make one by conventional means have not been successful. Control of the disease is by slaughter and strict adherence to movements on and off farms. But control is difficult, the virus being so contagious. It took more than thirty years to eradicate it from Spain and Portugal following its introduction there in the 1950s. The virus remains endemic on the Italian island of Sardinia.
"We are using genetic manipulation of the virus to try to make a vaccine against ASF." says Dr Dixon. "We are removing genes from the virus to see if we can produce a virus that still grows in the pig and induces protection but without causing disease. We are also identifying precisely which ASFV components induce protection in pigs; these will also be used in vaccine development."

Is there any way you track your teens driving. My 16 year old has began driving and I want to be able to keep an eye on her. I can not afford one of the devices that cost a monthly fee, but I want something for her to know I can check her out at any time. Any advice is needed!!!!!!
Thank You, sadler |
Follow-Up Postings:
Have you gone on line to check? Our old insurance company had a program where they would have a camera installed in the car and it would record what was going on in the car. If you are in the US the insurance co. is named American Family. If you enroll in the program the cost of the camera and installation are free. |
Guess I'm lucky--in our state you have to be 17 to get your license, and then you have a lot of restrictions for the first year. Beyond that--just because a 16 or 17 year old has a license, DOESN'T mean they have free rein to take the family vehicle (at least it doesn't to me). Even though dd had her license we STILL drove her to work. Even when she went to college--until she was able to buy her own car--I dropped her off. Several reasons--no way am I giving up my car so a teen can go cruising around the countryside. While the law may say a 17 year old is old enough to drive--it ALSO says that a parent is financially responsible if that teen does any damage with the car. Lastly, and most importantly, just practicing for a month or 2 and passing the driver's test does NOT convey expert driver's status on anyone. I felt my dd needed more practice than that. Even though she had her license, it was a long time before she was allowed to take the car by herself--she often drove when one of us was in the car with her, but we didn't just hand over our keys. It's your choice to do as you wish, but if your finances are tight, as you imply--you may want to sit down with your insurance agent and discuss just how much responsibility you have if your daughter causes damage, or one of her friends gets hurt while riding with her, or if one of her friends borrows your car (with or without her permission--it happens frequently). Just make sure what your responsibilities are as the parent of a driver who is still not a legal adult. |
You could always keep track of the mileage. I wouldn't give her the car to go out with friends, only to run small errands. |

Updated 8/11/2014
The U6-U9 teams have one team practice a week and one age group training night a week.
U6 train on Monday nights
U7 train on Thursday nights
U8 train on Tuesday nights
U9 train on Wednesday nights (*** Fall 2014 since the U9 and U10 girls are combined they will be attending the Wednesday night age group training sessions.)
This season we are going to have the training sessions at a Horizon Elementary School.
The training sessions will last for one hour (5:30 – 6:30 and 6:30 – 7:30 – Girls first in the fall and boys first in the spring) There will be no team practice nights on training nights, example a U6B team will not have team practice on Monday night. Team practices will be held based on the volunteer coach's schedule and field availability for one hour any night of the week Monday – Friday except the training night.
The U10 boys teams will have two team practices a week for an hour each. The practice nights will be on determined by the volunteer coach and based on field availability.
All matches are played on Saturday from 9:00 to 3:00 depending on the schedule and field availability. There are no scores kept at the U6 – U10 level and trophies are awarded to all players.
The U6-U7 matches are played with a small-sided format. The teams are split into two 4 person teams and play two simultaneous games against the opposing team. No scores are kept and the coaches try to match evenly skilled players to play each other.
The U8-U10 teams begin playing with goal keepers and play a on a larger field that uses traditional lines to mark out the goal and penalty areas. The number of players varies by age group from 6X6 to 8X8.
The U6 – U9 players have age group training nights provided by SYSA's trainer, STBW. The trainers work train and develop players using SYSA approved goals for each age group. These goals are in line with Virginia Youth Soccer and USSF guidelines for development of youth players. You can see these guidelines at VYSA's website.

She discussed the international placement with me for 4th year (2014) and it just so happens that the University has current exchange programs in the same city as one of the Child Trauma Academy partners. It will from September - December. Looks like I'll need about $10, 000.
My planning, budget, study etc is now all based around me going to....
I'm looking at accommodation. Work permits. Study Permits. International programs. Grants.
The whole lot. What bands are from there? Are they NICE?
If you know it, know someone who will put me up, or anything - let me have it. Weather. Crime rates. What are they famous for? Who do they argue with? What is the major religion there? Are there fundamentalists there? Are they overly Christian? How many cowboys are we talking about!? Because I hate hunting, am I likely to be hated? Do they like Australians?
Should I rent a one bedroom apartment somewhere? Should I save up for a car? is Public transport efficient? Is it freezing? Will I get mugged, raped or assaulted? Should I stay with a family? Apply to House-sit and cuddle someone's pets for 3 months?
I'm terrified. I'd much rather face snakes, crocs, The Outback and an Internet Troll.
Love to you.

Baltimore Bank Robber Sentenced to 10 Years in Prison
Forced A Bank Employee to Walk Out of the Bank With Him
Baltimore, Maryland - U.S. District Judge William M. Nickerson, sentenced Brian Louis Clark, age 35, of Baltimore, Maryland, today to 10 years in prison followed by three years of supervised release for bank robbery. Judge Nickerson also ordered that Clark pay restitution of $1,416.
The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Special Agent in Charge Richard A. McFeely of the Federal Bureau of Investigation; and Baltimore Police Commissioner Frederick H. Bealefeld III.
According to Clark's guilty plea, on November 1, 2010, Clark entered the Wachovia Bank located at 4820 Eastern Avenue in Baltimore, approached a bank teller, and presented her with a note which read "I have a gun, count out the money in your drawer." The teller was afraid and stepped back from the teller window. Clark became agitated and walked into the office of another bank employee, grabbed the second bank employee and forcibly led her to the teller window, demanding that the second bank employee order the teller to give him money. The bank teller, fearing for the safety of the second employee and others inside the bank, gathered cash from her drawers and handed it to Clark, who then demanded more money. The teller gave Clark additional money and Clark grabbed the second bank employee, forcing her to walk out of the bank with him. Clark walked down the block with the employee, eventually releasing her on South Ponca Street. An audit of the bank revealed that Clark stole $1,416 during the robbery.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein commended the FBI and the Baltimore Police Department for their work in the investigation. Mr. Rosenstein thanked Assistant United States Attorneys James G. Warwick and Justin S. Herring, who prosecuted the case.

Travelling to New Orleans, now and in 1858
Eating and drinking
William Makepeace Thackeray recently declared New Orleans to be "the city of the world where you can eat and drink the most and suffer the least". The city certainly offers something to delight the palate of any epicure. Restaurants abound, and the city's cuisine, though clearly shaped by its French past, incorporates influences from all its diverse inhabitants. Try the gumbo – a local soup, nationally famous; sample a "cocktail"; and do your best to get a table at Antoine's (established in 1840).
Getting around
While New Orleans is a walking city, no visitor should leave without taking the famed carriage drive along the Shell Road to the banks of Lake Pontchartrain. Similarly, visitors must board one of the city's street railways and take a ride along St Charles Avenue, through the mansion-filled Garden District.
You should be aware, however, that the political situation in America remains unstable. The national division over slavery becomes increasingly bitter, and talk that the southern states might secede from the Union no longer seems frivolous. If secession and war do come to pass, then New Orleans, a place of tactical importance, will be a focus for military action. So make your visit now, to catch the Southern Queen in all her glory.
Visiting New Orleans today
In some ways, not much has changed in New Orleans. The French Quarter is still the Big Easy's distinctive heart and opportunities to eat and drink well abound. New Orleans certainly dances to a different beat from other American cities, and the sound of zydeco, Louisiana Creole folk music, continues to waft through the streets, even if it's joined by jazz, funk, indie and punk today.
Nightlife is a big draw, whether boozing on Bourbon Street or spilling out of a live music joint in the small hours. Mardi Gras is a spectacular reaffirmation of the city though there's a year-round festival calendar to complement the carnival.
In other ways, New Orleans has had to reinvent itself time and again. It's hard to write about the city without mentioning that least welcome of visitors, Hurricane Katrina, who smashed up much of the city in 2005. But visitors won't find a city feeling sorry for itself. The fortunes of New Orleans, like the Saints, its much beloved gridiron team, have risen again. And while areas like Fauborg-Marigny and the Garden District are full of heritage buildings, there's a keen sense of energy and revival about the city too.
Safe, friendly and exciting, New Orleans is still an unmissable and unique part of America's past, present and future.
If you like this...
You'll love the French colonial architecture of Hanoi, Vietnam. The only city in the world that rivals it for live music is Havana, Cuba.
Thomas Ruys Smith is the author of Southern Queen: New Orleans in the Nineteenth Century, published by Continuum June 2011.

Saguaro at Chaparral
Saguaro coach John Sanders still may rest his key guys, in which case any analysis goes out the window. But if both squads are fully equipped, this game is going to be a lot of fun. It will feature the two most dynamic athletes in the state in Saguaro running back D.J. Foster (138 carries, 1,883 yards, 38 TD) and Chaparral's do-everything Davonte Neal (705 yards rushing, 553 receiving, 23 total TD). The team's quarterbacks are also elite, as Chaparral's Connor Brewer (105-of-168 for 1,721 yards, 27 TD, 4 INT) is gunning for a third straight state title this season, while Saguaro sophomore Luke Rubenzer (87-of-119 for 1,977 yards, 24 TD, 3 INT) leads the state in completion rate at 73.1 percent. Chaparral should have running back/linebacker Lucas Petrullo on the field for the first time since Week 1 aganst Las Vegas Bishop Gorman. There should be a ton of points in this one, as the defenses can't match up.
Prediction: Chaparral 45, Saguaro 41.
- Kyle Odegard
Queen Creek at Williams Field
The Bulldogs have had an impressive year, as Joe Germaine and the rest of his coaching staff has taken a new group of players and led them to an 8-1 record. Queen Creek has a good defense, led by linebacker Billy Gregoire, and is disciplined on both sides of the ball. It's the type of team that won't beat itself. Williams Field is also 8-1 and well-coached. The Black Hawks have amassed 3,094 yards on the ground compared to just 977 through the air. If the Bulldogs can slow down Williams Field running back Alex Howard, they can win this game. That, however, is easier said than done. He's the best player in this game and gives the Black Hawks the edge.
Prediction: Williams Field 28, Queen Creek 17.
- Kyle Odegard
Desert Vista at Chandler
This one is juicy, with Desert Vista at No. 3 in the power points and Chandler at No. 5. Both teams have explosive offenses and fast defenses. Who'll stop the other one? Who'll stop themselves with penalties or turnovers? Chandler's offense is a bit more prolific and dangerous than the Thunder, particualarly with Paul Perkins, and wideouts Lloyd Mills and Javon Williams. They'll go against the back seven of D.V. defense which is the Thunder's strength, but there's a lot of size and speed to contend with on the Wolves' roster. D.V.'s best chance is to run at Chandler's middle because the "fly sweep" plays into Chandler's strength with speed. Both teams will score points, but the Thunder's margin for error is a bit thinner.
Prediction: Chandler 35, Desert Vista 27
- Mark Heller
Brophy at Pinnacle
Pinnacle's bubble burst somewhat last week, as it blew a 21-point fourth quarter lead against Desert Mountain for its first loss of the season. The Pioneers are still in the top-4 in the power rankings, and could get as high as No. 2 with an upset win over Brophy. However, that's not happening. The Broncos are 9-0 on the year, with a 24-21 win over Avondale Westview on October 6 their only single-digit victory of the year. Pinnacle won't be able to contain Brophy quarterback Tyler Bruggman (105-of-180 for 1,811 yards, 28 TD, 1 INT) and the weapons - Devon Allen, Frederick Gammage, D'Amani Grayer - at his disposal.
Prediction: Brophy 35, Pinnacle 10.
- Kyle Odegard
Dobson at Gilbert
On a night full of big games and playoffs at stake, why predict this one when both teams are out of the playoff picture? For one, it's going to be close, as these two have hovered next to one another most of the season in power points. Second, the result of this game is, like many others, going to have a risidual affect on what happens inside the top 16, especially the No. 5 through No. 9 seeds. Dobson RB TJ Thomas suffered an ankle injury during last week's loss to Desert Vista, and it was painful. He limped around noticably after the game with his ankled wrapped in ice, but coach Alex Jacobson guesstimated he'd play this week. Toughness is not an issue with Thomas, but his effectiveness could be, and Dobson doesn't have many other offensive weapons.
Prediction: Gilbert 31, Dobson 17

But bear in mind, just as no two people are alike, no two Parrots are alike too, and that includes those of the same species. Try a few different types and you'll soon get to know what sort of Parrot Toy your bird likes best - knotted leather, rope to preen, huge wooden blocks to demolish, foraging toys or maybe a swing or a bell.

New to the Garden Web and so excited by the wealth of information. We are embarking on a kitchen renovation in the next couple of weeks and are thinking about back splashes at the moment. We do not have much back splash space and was thinking about either a standard white subway tile or a white glass cut like subway tile. Anyone use white glass?? Please share your pros and cons as well as any pictures if you're willing. Thank you! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Follow up question...what color grout did you use with the white glass tiles? We will have white cabinets, stainless appliances and dark/charcoal gray soapstone counters. Thank you! |
- Posted by beekeeperswife (My Page) on Fri, Apr 29, 11 at 13:37
A common problem with white glass is that it might appear green when you put it up. Unless the back is painted white. Have you considered a smokey gray glass backsplash? |
Not as a backsplash but I did an entire bathroom on starphire custom made glass tiles. It is absolutely clear glass with white paint on the back. Used ultra white grout. The tiles are 12"x4". I installed them directly on drywall with 3/16" trowel with white thinset designed for glass tiles. Did not do a brick pattern because i wanted a modern look. The glass takes on the color of the light that comes in through the window. sometimes it is grey, sometimes blue ... |
Oh pharaoh--I still just sigh when I see your beautiful bling-y bathroom!!!!! We used Artistic Tile's Opera Glass (Stillato pattern, in Wolfgang White, with TEC Bright White Grout--would use the same color grout today, but the TEC XT grout). It does read somewhat greenish-blue at times, depending on time of day, light level, etc., because it is NOT low-iron, or Starfire glass. We used a very meticulous tile guy, who not only is/was experienced in cutting/setting glass tile, but is also extremely meticulous. He is absolutely determined about following tile patterns (with mosaic tile), and making sure tile lines, cuts, breaks, occur where he wants them (as close to exact as they can be!). You want to be sure you have someone like that working with your glass tile. Not a con, but something to keep in mind. Here are some picks of our backsplash: Slideshow (tile installation)--click on view all images: |
Thank you so much for sharing you thoughts and pictures. What beautiful spaces! I didn't realize there were different types of glass. And painting white beforehand is a great tip. And thank you both for confirming my thoughts on using a white grout. Knowing that it is all also a green building material is helping to make our decision. Again, thank you! |
also make sure you get the samples home. See them in different lighting. day, night, natural light, artificial light. glass is a moody material :) cat_mom, the admiration is mutual. your kitchen could have been mine! all my choices too |
- Posted by mtnrdredux (My Page) on Fri, Apr 29, 11 at 23:03
Catmom, never saw your b/s before. Unique, subtle, and beautiful! |
pharaoh--I love our mutual admiration society! Have you seen some of the gorgeous modern (MCM?)/contemporary kitchens/bathrooms posted in recent months? Our numbers are growing! ReikiMom1 and mtnrdredux--thank you! :-) |
- Posted by lazydaisynot (My Page) on Sat, Apr 30, 11 at 11:02
Cat_mom and Pharaoh, the glass tile and everything else about your spaces is just gorgeous. Wow. |
I didn't use it, but this kitchen from an earlier thread has a fab white glass backsplash, Alyse Edwards Tile and Stone, Gigi's Groovy Glass Stiix - Stairway to Heaven. Lots of pics too. |
Here is a link that might be useful: white kitchen
cat_mom, I am very pleased with the new kitchens on this forum. Love the clean, modernist lines (although i do like decoration and bling). Glass has become a favorite material of mine. we are planning an ipe deck with frameless glass railings :) This will be after my wabi-sabi master bath and suite is done (minimalist). |
- Posted by writersblock (My Page) on Sat, Apr 30, 11 at 16:23
Ooh, two of my favorites in one thread--cat_mom's kitchen and pharoah's bath. |
ellaf thanks so much for the link! |
lazydaisynot and writersblock--thank you!!!! ellaf--thanks for posting that link to mklee01's thread re: her MIL's kitchen; it was one of my fave new kitchens on GW. I saw some of the Alys Edwards sample boards while looking for tile for our bathrooms--the colored glass (and the white) were such eye candy! pharaoh--you know I want to be one of the first to see pics of those spaces!!! Still waiting with baited breath to see the Zen bathroom, and now you tease me with dreams of a deck with frameless glass railings..... (what is ipe? email me some info so we don't hijack this thread) |
ipe is a tropical hardwood from brazil. Ideal material for decks and looks gorgeous! and here is a frameless glass railing |
OT and not to hijack this thread but Pharoh-what do you have in your shower wall where the shower head is? Cat_mom your stools were the inspiration for the ones we got for our kitchen (we got the Caligaris "Way" stools). I love both your kitchen and Pharoh's bathroom . . . |
leela, The inspiration for my bathroom was swarovksi! so i used crystals, glass and white marble. all of these are hard, shiny materials. to balance them, I used wood as another material. Floating vanity made of bubinga |
Thanks pharaoh-I've seen "wood" tile but I figured you had real wood going on in there. It is really beautiful. I'm trying very hard to not visit the bathroom forum because we won't be redoing our master bath until next year, but I am still surreptitiously looking at pictures and gathering ideas. |
- Posted by pricklypearcactus (My Page) on Thu, May 26, 11 at 14:18
Wow! Beautiful inspirations. I love the idea of a simple white glass backsplash. Oceanside Glass Tile sells 2x4 inch and 4x8 inch "field tiles" (Field - Casa California) in a variety of glass colors, including white. They even have an iridescent white glass. Sorry to be briefly off-topic, but pharoah, can you share your light over the vanity (manufacturer, where you purchased, etc)? Also, hopefully this will be a quick bump to see more beautiful pictures of white glass tiles! |
The sconces are from Candice Olson. I modeled the bathroom after candice olson's design of clean, com contemporary with decorative elements. http://www.aflighting.com/candice_olson/product_detail.aspx?product=6763-1W You can buy it online at various stores. The chandelier was from EXPO. similar to this http://www.wegotlites.net/Stellate-Design-Pendant-Dressed-with-European-or-Swarovski-Crystals-WGLMD2027-24-SKU-10782_p_16621.html |
I just love seeing those 2 gorgeous spaces again. Pharoah, I have always wondered how you dared use that stunning wood in the shower. Thanks for explaining how you treated it. I love how the space is clean and modern, and yet glamorous and blingy too. Catmom, I love your whole kitchen, but your range hood is really catching my eye today. It looks like a Gaggenau hood I have been eyeing, is it Gagg or another brand? We have a similar high vaulted ceiling, and I hate the thought of a seam in the hood chimney. I cannot see a seam in yours. Did you have something custom fabricated, and, if so, would you mind sharing the approximate cost? Sorry for the threadjack! |
- Posted by anna_chosak (My Page) on Thu, May 26, 11 at 18:10
I can't believe pharaoh's bathroom hasn't been the cover story in some home magazine. It's the most beautiful and interesting bathroom I have ever seen. Somehow I recently stumbled across pics of your kitchen too...again, amazing, beautiful and unique. Are you and/or Mrs. pharaoh interior designers? |
leela4--thanks! Our kitchen stools are Baba leather counter stools (more easily found/sold in wood, but one place I found online had them in leather). We went to Jensen-Lewis in NYC during our "great stool hunt" but I don't remember if we saw the Way stools. I just looked them up--they look nice! Our dining room chairs are also from Calligaris--the Even chair. They're nice chairs, and didn't break the bank (like others we saw). kaysd--thank you, too! Our hood is a Pando hood. One thing we went for form (and quietness) over function. It's okay, but not really the most effective hood we could (or should?) have gotten. Looks nice though! I don't think Pando is sold in the US anymore, or at least, the distributor (Signature Marketing)/appliance store (Reno's in NJ) just might not be carrying them anymore. You'd have to ask about that. Signature had the longer chimney fabricated for us at no extra cost (99.9% sure about that), and then had it cut to the length specified by DH when we had difficulty locating a place that could do it for us without ruining the SS. |
Cat_mom, your hood is beautiful, sorry to hear it is not as effective as you might like. That is great that the distributor had the chimney made longer for you at no cost. The similar looking Gagg hood that I like is lovely, but only 425 CFM, and I bet there is no way they would do a free extension. |
None of the flat hoods seem to work as well as the concave ones, from what we've read/heard. Ours is not terrible by any means, just could be better (there is also the loss of some "capture area" because the mesh filters don't go all the way to the edges). It is 880 CFM's if I'm remembering correctly. Good luck in your hunt! |

Welcome to GeorgiaIndependentVoters.org
Welcome to Georgia Independent Voters!
We are a diverse network of independent voters and activists in Georgia who are working to develop the voice of independents here in Georgia. We work with other independent networks around the country through media, lobbying and legislative initiatives. Click HERE to learn about some of our activities.
Who Are Independents?
In Georgia and around the country, independents are playing a bigger role in influencing, shaping and determining the course of elections, and more importantly, policy decisions. More than thirty-five percent of all Americans currently identify themselves as independents. Roughly 22% of the electorate are registered as such: independent, decline-to-state, unaffiliated, or enrolled in third parties. The remainder live in states without partisan registration, but self-identify as independents in polls. In these states, substantial numbers of Republicans and Democrats — who register in a party in order to vote in primaries — consider themselves to be independents. What most independent voters mean by "independent" is that they aren't party loyalists. Many believe partisanship has degraded our democracy and that the Democrats and Republicans have become "special interests" unto themselves.
Registering as an Independent in Georgia
In Georgia, there is no partisan registration, and primaries are "open", or accessible to everyone regardless of party affiliation. While this means it's harder to tell how many of us there are, it also means we are able to have an influence on both primary and general elections. Independents in many states with "closed" primaries are now fighting to get their states to open their primaries so their voices can be heard. The major parties in several states with "open" primaries are now fighting to close the process – understandably given the rapidly increasing numbers of independents across the country. Polling of Georgia voters indicate that 30% of voters consider themselves to be independent, though our polling suggest that the percentage is much higher (as high as 50-60%). In 2008, 28% of voters in Georgia self-identified as independents – this amounts to over one million voters in Georgia.
Join the Network of Independents
This website was developed to welcome you to access the work of independent voters in Georgia and around the country. In addition, we welcome the voices of independents to hear from you, what you are concerned with, what do you believe.
Please take our online poll and register on our website to stay in touch.

Over the Weekend: Blink-182 at Fiddler's Green
Blink-182's Tom Delonge (Aaron Thackeray)
Blink-182, Weezer, Taking Back Sunday and Chester French
Fiddler's Green
September 6, 2009
The members of Blink-182 became the kings of pop-punk nation a decade ago, when Enema of the State flushed the style's system with a cleansing formula of big hooks and cheerfully profane snottiness. But the median age of the most exuberant attendees wedged into Fiddler's Green to see the Denver stop on their reunion tour, also featuring Chester French, Taking Back Sunday and Weezer, didn't match that of the players themselves: singer-guitarist Tom DeLonge and drummer Travis Barker are both 33, while singer-bassist Mark Hoppus is 37. In fact, the sold-out amphitheater as a whole and the lawn area in particular were dominated by high schoolers who enthusiastically relate to the adolescent hijinx the boys celebrated early on -- the ones they're trying to move beyond without leaving behind. I guess this is growing up.
Chester French.
Chester French kicked off the evening in the coveted band-most-people-don't-know-that's-supposed-to-win-over-the-crowd-anyhow slot, and frontman Andrew "D.A." Wallach worked overtime to fulfill the last part of this equation. Between songs, he announced that he's originally from the Denver area, which, if true, is a fact our friend Google doesn't seem to know. The act got its start in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where Harvard students Wallach and cohort Maxwell Drummey were discovered by Neptunes and N.E.R.D. guru Pharrell Williams, who name-checked Chester French in Westword Q&A last year.
Wallach then barked that the three key letters for the set were "NFJ," which stood for "no fucking joke," and that proved to be true, in that the combo wasn't laughed off the stage -- but neither did the crew connect with the throng in any notable way. Part of the problem was the material: The recorded versions heard on the album Love the Future stand out to some degree thanks to Williams' hybrid production approach, none of which translated live. The likes of "Bebe Buell" weren't melodically distinctive enough to rev up the Blink faithful, and the lyrical references went over most heads, too -- no wonder, since Buell is best known for boinking '70s-era rock stars now on the cusp of Social Security-eligibility. Even "C'mon (On My Own)," CF's catchiest tune, which Wallach said was inspired by Colorado, fell short of its blueprint, despite his bouncy antics. Nice try, guys -- no fucking joke.

"Despite pledges to protect South Vietnam, former US President Richard Nixon privately vowed to "cut off the head" of its leader-Nguyen Van Thieu-unless he backed peace with the Communist North, tapes released on Tuesday showed..."
One more fan of severed head.
Post that was published on May 29, 2009:
William Faulkner: "The past is not dead; it is not even past."
The Sri Lankan military has released pictures of Tamil Tiger leader Velupillai Prabhakaran which it says prove conclusively that he is dead.
Those parental-guidance-suggested pictures are insufferable.
M.R. Narayan Swamy says:
"…The Indian Army once intercepted a wireless message from him (Velupillai Prabhakaran ) asking a colleague to kill two rival Tamils and deliver their severed heads to him…"
("How a guerrilla chief grew drunk on blood", Asian Age, May 20, 2009)
'Severed-heads' have always been with us. They brought another sorry episode from history to my mind.
In December 1760, Atai Khan, working on the orders of Ahmad Shah Abdali severed the head of sixty-plus years old Govind Ballal Kher aka Govind Pant Bundela, a Subedar of Maratha, and sent it to his boss- Abdali.
Abdali 'presented' it to the head of Maratha army, Sadashivrao Bhau. This act surely dented the morale of Maratha army badly. On January 14, 1761, it was trounced in the third battle of Panipat, a sort of Vietnam of Maratha empire.
On May 19, 2009, the Sri Lankan military was adjusting the corpse for cameras to photograph the head that looked severely damaged, if not almost severed.

Halle Berry just split from babydaddy Gabriel Aubry, but she doesn't look that broken up about it.
The 43-year-old actress looked absolutely radiant today at the 13th Annual EIF/Revlon Run/Walk for Women in Times Square -- where she was joined by fellow sexy stars Jessica Biel and Jessica Alba.
Gabriel told Access Hollywood he's "sad to say that Halle and I have decided together to separate at
this time," adding she's one of the most special and beautiful people that I have ever known" and "Her happiness and well-being are the most important thing for both of us.
Considering her smile here -- and her mystery date last night -- Halle's right on target.
Lorrie: 1733 days ago
I absolutely adore Halle Berry..... break-up or no break-up she's still gorgeous!
Luke: 1732 days ago
It is called acting... She is not going to be at an event screaming and crying about her breakup.
shorty: 1723 days ago
Halle berry has played out --we are on top of her now. The real deal is: she wanted a biracial baby-she got that--now she wants a brother to make love to her (are you feeling me) ---but she is loving him enough to have his baby. (are you still feeling me)
BG: 1651 days ago
Sounds like a bunch of you crackers hating bacause she ditched a tadpole for a python. And as for a biracial who wants a lil zebra anyway. Lets keep it pure black. Black power mofos...
TraLyn: 1471 days ago
what in the hell does color have to do with any of this. This is exactly why this world is messed up. because of ppl like you on here! This is the most retarded conversation i've endured in a long time. First of all, halle berry is bi-racial so her damn baby couldn't help but be bi-racial. How retarded of you? Anyway, lets keep it human and not colorized!
lena: 1471 days ago
Halle is of mixed race for those of you who didn't know that. White mother and black father. So please stop with the racist crap!
Jeanine: 1457 days ago
It still completely amazes me at the ignorance, and hatred that people bring to these chats. Why is it that everything still has to have a COLOR placed to it?? This has nothing to do with race, religion, sex, etc....yet, you always find those ignorant, uneducated people that cannot hold a normal, educated conversation on these chats, saying things that are so hateful and not necessary.....how sad!?
For those of you that have (of course) labeled this a "race" thing....Halle Berry herself is HALF WHITE and HALF BLACK....no matter who she had a baby with...her baby would be BI-RACIAL....no matter what the father's nationality was. Please...get over this race card thing....we are so passed the 1950's & 60's!!
I dont see color...I see PEOPLE....and I judge people for WHO they are, WHAT they represent, and HOW they represent themselves. Hate BREEDS hate....ignorance breeds ignorance...plain and simple....black, white, asian, hispanic...it does not matter....its what you live and practice everyday that does. If you practice and preach hate & racism (no matter what your race)...then your children do the same...and the cycle continues. Get over it already....we are all just human!!!
Thelma Gray: 1454 days ago
I totally respect and admire Halle and I hope that someday she will meet a man that she can totally feel comfortable and secure with. In the meantime she should continue to focus on her baby and herself. Everything will fall into place sooner or later.
fritz: 1447 days ago
she is good looking, reasonable source of income, decent benefits, maybe she would give a realtionship another shot with a white boy such as myself.
fritz: 1447 days ago
she is an attractive woman with a decent income and benefits, perhaps she would like to take another shot with this white boy at a relationship.
cj: 1445 days ago
I think Halle is a beautiful talented woman and I wish her the best. But I think Halle has some issues. EVERYMAN SHE HOOKS UP WITH according to her starts out wonderful but later turns into a jerk with issues. Then all this drama eventually turns up. Hmmmn,whats up with that? We attract who we are.
Kelila: 1355 days ago
oh please. that Gabriel sucker is and idiot. He should leave Halle and Nahla alone if he cant learn how to be a father. I think there are classes for that. I know Halle can find a much better man than him who acctually knows how to take care of a child. The bull he's been saying about Halle is just what I said it is- BULL!
Kelila: 1355 days ago
P.S Halle should be happy. If you haven't heard he called her a ni**r (fill in the blanks) and "other words". I'm really pissed off because I'm Black too. How racist can you get?!

Learn your Math: Mathematik is an artist with much experience in the music industry, his roster of collaborators and cohorts reads like a Canadian Hip Hop who�s who through the years. Highlights include producer K-Cut, artists including Sic Sense, Citizen Kane, Saukrates, and Dream Warriors, simply to name a few. And who can forget his reach across the border to Philly-based hip hop queen Bahamadia with a single release, Following Goals, in �99. Mathemaik holds it down on his own, a renaissance man of the industry, as emcee, DJ and producer he does not disappoint. He teased us with a single release last summer, Was Is Will, which increased the heat on the summer streets and this release guarantees to satisfy heady anticipation.
A former member of the soulful Hip-Hop crew named Down to Erf, Mathematik's background embraces almost all the fundamental aspects of hip hop culture. He started out as a dancer in grade 4, evolved as a lyricist, learned to DJ and inspires his audience listen closely to hear his lessons. Pure Math is more than simple equations, it is a philosophy, a language and a perspective based on diverse elements that, when mixed by genius, invites its students and followers to step up their game.
This hip hop pioneer returns as architect of beats and poet who�s got extraordinary rhythm and flow to continue his trajectory of revolutionary hip hop sound. His tracks throughout the album are reminiscent of the tri-part approach consistent with his past work: words that inform the mind, beats that move the body and a narrative that speaks to the soul.

ronwill Posts: 2remove the bolts from the bottom of the housing, then prise out the oblong panel at the top of the unit with a small flat blade or screwdriver;.... there are two more bolts there, remove them and then gently lift up from the bottom and away from the rear of the car;..... there are locating lugs on the right hand side of the unit which go behind the rear wheel arch cover and also two lugs at the top of the unit. It is not an easy task to remove, but it is a hell of a lot more difficult to put the unit back !!
Have fun

branson24 Posts: 4Just a quick question. I bought an 07 xls used and it had the standard 6 disk changer. This radio has an am/fm/sat button but I cannot get into the sattelite channels. Since there are no added speakers I assume that the sun and sound package was not installed. Does this mean that I will have to install my external Sirius radio from my last car? Or is there a fairly painless way I can get the sattelite portion up and running. I will do the external option if the other requires me to pay a dealer several hundred dollars for parts and labor.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer. -
comem47 Posts: 395
comem47 Posts: 395I guess you'll have to use your old Sirius radio adaptor. If you really had the sun and sound package you'd have the obvious sunroof , the 9 speakers and the Rockford Fosgate radio with sub woofer in back. I'm not familiar why you would have a sat button on whatever radio you do have, but it sounds like you're missing too much for a cheap upgrade. (I don't know enough to tell you otherwise).
Sorry. -
branson24 Posts: 4I took it in to a local dealer and they said it would be $300 for parts then whatever labor. I guess there is the actual sirrius radio $210 and the install kit $90 that I will have to purchase. Unfortunately the original owner either did not care or did not realize there was an issue with the factory radio. I am having the issue many others did with the treble fading in and out. They have ordered me a new radio so I am hoping when it gets installed they will allow me to see how they open up the radio area and get behind it. I am fairly confident that once inside I can do the installations myself of the sirius unit. I will also be attempting to contact Sirius to see if there is a discount for existing customers or if I can get a discount for returning my current radio and upgrading to the in dash system. Never hurts to ask eh?
Thanks for the comments and the help though! -
lecycliste Posts: 1Has anyone wired 12V and ground from the battery through the firewall into the passenger compartment?
I'm looking for an existing path through the firewall to power an amateur radio in my 2007 Outlander. For best RF performance, I need a direct connection to the battery.

btsworld Posts: 4Hi, I bought an 2008 outlander -v6 mivec 4wd, with base radio model , have it for 4 months.
I noticed a upsetting (very high frequency) noise in mp3 cd playback. The noise will be perceptible for 5 seconds at the beginning of any song and then, every 8 seconds the noise will be audible for 1 second.
I think this is due to the CD player electric motor starting to fill the anti-skip buffer of the playback system.
I've aks the dealer, they don't know about it. At the dealer, I tried an other Ottie radio and same problem....I wonder if anyone else has the same issue???

louisel32 Posts: 1I just purchased a 2008 outlander and have the same problem. I have brought it to the dealer and they will open a report. So far they are not taking responsibility to say that it is a Mitsubishi problem. I know there is a TSB out there but have not been able to get a copy of it.
Have you had any success in resolving this problem? -

idavidson Posts: 41Hi,
My LS 2008 has inbuilt bluetooth capability.
This means I can make/receive calls
which are played via the inbuilt stereo system.
However, my phone also has an mp3 player.
Is it possible to play music from my phone
so it comes out on the stereo system via
the bluetooth connection. I know I can plug it
into the jacks at the back of the center console.
Regards. -
erik06 Posts: 6Hi,
I bought a used Mitsubishi outlander "from Feb 2008", when trying to enable Bluetooth I got the message that "Bluetooth is locked and I have to enter the password". Unfortunately the dealer did not know the code and don't know how to reset it.
I tried the 0000, 1111 and 9999 but does not work.
Is there a way to reset the Bluetooth code, any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Erik -
comem47 Posts: 395Is this a Mitsu dealer or just a used car at another type car dealer? Usually as a worst case scenario, there is a way to reset "all" settings to factory defaults(probably no password is set) and the Mitsu dealer should know. I personally have not done anything with Bluetooth, sorry.

coolguy949 Posts: 5Keep trying. There is no confirmation when it happens. You just have to hit the speak button to see if it works.
It completely resets the bluetooth module back to factory settings. It should work. I had the same problem.
Wait 1 second between each button push. So it should be
Push end call button for two seconds
wait 1 second

Appendix 7
Ecologically sustainable development and environmental performance
This appendix comprises the department's report on its ecologically sustainable development and environmental performance as required by section 516A of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
The department has sought to ensure that, where possible, its policy activities, administration of legislated activities and other operations have accorded with and enacted ecologically sustainable development (ESD) principles. It has pursued these principles through a variety of activities including its work on multilateral environment agreements, international legal frameworks and trade policy. These principles were also applied in our public diplomacy.
Outcome 1 – The advancement of Australia's international strategic, security and economic interests including through bilateral, regional and multilateral engagement on Australian Government foreign and trade policy priorities
The department helped advance ESD by supporting Australia's participation in international negotiations on the environment and sustainable development, including the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20). Australia led efforts at Rio+20 to promote international action to address challenges to the conservation and sustainable use of oceans, including overfishing, ocean acidification and marine pollution. We also helped secure agreement to develop a set of universal Sustainable Development Goals. The department supported the Government's objective of securing an effective global response to climate change, including a mandate to negotiate a new legal agreement covering all countries. The department supported the delivery of outcomes to protect and preserve Antarctica's environment through Australia's hosting of the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting in Hobart. The department also contributed to ESD through its work on trade policy, including by pursuing opportunities to reduce barriers to trade in environmental goods and services internationally.
Outcome 2 – The protection and welfare of Australians abroad and access to secure international travel documentation through timely and responsive travel advice and consular and passport services in Australia and overseas
The N-series Passport uses Australian Paper's 100 per cent carbon neutral ENVI paper range, which is Greenhouse Friendly as certified by the Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency.
Outcome 3 – A secure Australian Government presence overseas through the provision of security services and information and communications technology infrastructure, and the management of the Commonwealth's overseas owned estate.
The department contributed to ecologically sustainable development in its management of the overseas estate. Environmentally sustainable and energy efficient design principles are applied by the department's Overseas Property Office (OPO) in all new construction overseas and, within the limits imposed by the existing base building features, in fit-out and refurbishment works.
In current major projects OPO is targeting a self-assessed 5-star ecological outcome against the Green Building Council Green Star assessment model. Initiatives employed include intelligent building automation systems to optimise plant efficiency and minimise energy consumption, water conservation and management to reduce demand on local supply, low energy use lighting and air conditioning technologies, automatic cooling systems, residential solar heating and green technology landscaping.
In relation to the department's leased domestic offices, we have fulfilled the requirement for whole-of-government reporting on the National Environment Protection Measures and on the Australian Packaging Covenant Report. We reported the department's energy usage to the Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency. We maintained involvement in the Government Agency Environment Network. The department supported a range of 'green' events, including Earth Hour.
The department seeks to maintain voluntary certification by external audit against the international standard ISO14001:2004 for the Environmental Management System in its leased headquarters in the R G Casey Building in Canberra. The current certification requires revalidation and this is expected to occur in 2012. Planned refurbishment and upgrading of the R G Casey Building on the renewal of the current lease in 2014 is expected to contribute to improved environmental practice by the department in Canberra.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Penny!
Facts about Penny
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Orange Or Red Tabby
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Penny's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, not good with kids, and good with cats.
Penny is a 5 year-old orange tabby with short hair and pale green eyes. She is unusual in that only about 20% of orange tabbies are female. This kitty was very well taken care of by her former owners; she is healthy and FIV/FELV negative.
Penny was left at the gate of Yavapai Humane Society with another cat in a carrier, with a long note attached from the owner's daughter. The note explained that these were her mother's cats, her mom had just recently died, and she herself was going into the hospital could no longer care for them.
Penny enjoys affection, mainly on her terms. She will welcome you warmly as you first meet, but she may tell you in a minute or two that she's had enough. The more she gets to know people, the more willing she is to share her friendship. If you have the patience to give a lonely kitty a loving, safe environment, she'll pay you back with loving attention when she gets settled in.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Penny, a Gilbert Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Gilbert, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Gilbert.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Gilbert already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Gilbert breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Gilbert paves the way for another one to be saved.
