Jewelery and Chlorine
Name: Nancy S. Status: educator Age: 30s Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: 7/24/2003
Yesterday, I was putting chlorine tablets in my pools' chlorinator. I forgot to take off a gold and diamond tennis bracelet that I was wearing, and it immediately turned the gold a very dark color - almost copper-looking. What can I do to restore the gold?
Your bracelet tarnished because it is not (100%) pure gold. Pure gold (24K) will not tarnish and it would not be affected by the treatment it received from the chlorine pellets. The metal in the bracelet is a gold alloy that contains copper. That is what tarnished.
It would be simple to clean up were it a smooth ring. A rub with a simple jewelry polishing cloth could restore the shine. Because it is a bracelet set with diamonds, it will likely be impossible to polish in all its nooks and crannies with a cloth or buffing wheel. I suggest you take it to a jeweler and let him/her do the job in a chemical bath. They will be able to restore your bracelet without harming it.
ProfHoff 716
I do not think your bracelet is gold, at least not very pure gold. It sounds like it may have a substantial quantity of either copper or silver in it, which would be consistent with a tennis bracelet. 18-24 carat gold in such a bracelet probably would not withstand the wear and tear of many tennis matches. Try a commercial jewelry polish, take it to a jeweler and have them clean it. If you do not want to do either of those some dilute household ammonia may work, but one of the first two suggestions would be preferable.

About Our Rescue Group:
Save The Animals Rescue Team, (S.T.A.R.T.) is a non-profit humane organization, founded by Annette Lamberti, that rescues stray, abandoned, injured, and abused kittens, puppies, cats, and dogs. The animals rescued are examined by a veterinarian, spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and placed in one of our volunteer foster homes. Since S.T.A.R.T. does not have a shelter facility, these animals remain in our foster care until they are adopted. So many of these unfortunate animals are victims of pet overpopulation, therefore, this life-saving work is critical!!It is our mission to prevent cruelty, promote spay/neuter, and to encourage awareness through education, while also teaching respect for all animals and the environment they live in. S.T.A.R.T. is a 501 (c)(3) private non-profit organization relying on and supported by tax-deductible donations, grants and group fund raising.

The thought of walking into a big bank with a business plan and facing a stern banker who does millions of dollars in deals each day can strike fear into the hearts of even the most determined entrepreneurs. For many start-ups, these fears are often well-founded.
Some bigger banks, like Bank of America and Bank One, say they'll lend to start-ups if the loans are backed by assets or an SBA guarantee. But because new businesses present a large, unknown risk to lenders, most major banks resist making conventional start-up loans without significant owner investment and marketable collateral.
Not so for smaller community banks. "I love doing start-ups," says Debra Lins, president and CEO of Community Business Bank in Sauk City, Wisconsin.
Lins acknowledges there are more uncertainties and risks involved with start-ups than with existing businesses; consequently, due diligence becomes more important. "Banks can't credit-score a start-up," Lins notes. "I look for passion and enthusiasm; [these qualities] will drive the entrepreneur." Beyond that, Lins' $25 million bank considers the borrower's credit history, background, business experience and personal investment in the business.
An entrepreneur herself-she put a business plan together and raised capital to start Community Business Bank in 1994-Lins, 40, actively encourages new-business loans. "They're fun for me, and many bankers out there agree," she says.
Jim Davis certainly does. "If an entrepreneur comes in and convinces us he or she has a sound business concept, we'll help that person write a business plan, put the funding together and even help with their cash flow," says the president and CEO of National Business Bank in Torrance, California. "Those are some of the services a small community bank can provide."
Davis' locally owned, independent bank, with $5.3 million in capital and $4.5 million in deposits, writes conventional start-up loans for up to $75,000 "without batting an eye" and also funds new businesses with SBA-backed loans.

A long time ago, someone wrote to me and asked me what I would do if I was wrong about climate change? I answered him like this.
Just the other day someone else wrote to me. He went on about liberals and how they complain and a bunch of other things he doesn't like about them. Then he said:
"But you're right about one thing. We need to take care of our planet. I don't even know if I believe in global warming. But the thing is, if it doesn't exist, it's even more important that we take care of the place we live."
Because we're going to have to live here for a long time.

Please find below link to and full text of an article that Lord Charlie Falconer, Labour's Constitutional Affairs spokesperson in the Lords, has this evening posted at LabourLords.org.uk http://www.labourlords.org.uk/open-government-demands-release-of-health-bill-risk-register
Open Government demands release of Health Bill Risk Register
The Government is fighting tooth and nail to prevent the public seeing a document that contains an objective assessment of the risks which the NHS face if the proposed reforms contained in the Health and Social Care Bill become law. The 'risk register' they seek to keep secret is prepared by civil servants and contains a list of the risks the NHS faces from the Bill, the extent of those risks and what steps are being taken to reduce them.
The Information Commissioner overruled the Department of Health's decision not to make the risk register public, and said the public interest was strongly in favour of its publication. The Information Tribunal, in a decision issued with urgency on Friday (because the Bill will shortly reach the end of its parliamentary consideration), dismissed the Government's appeal against the Information Commissioner's decision.
The point of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOI) is to ensure that the state takes decisions in a way that the public can see and understand. The more the public have access to the same material as the state in formulating policy, the better the policy will be. Where there is openness, the people making the decisions have to be able to defend policies on the merits rather than on the basis the public don't understand.
This is precisely the sort of document that we envisaged would be made available through FoI –where seeing the document would assist the public in evaluating the pros and cons of a particular policy. It's not a document where the interests of the state might be damaged by its disclosure - for example because it names a whistleblower, or an informer, or because it undermines collective responsibility because it reveals differing views amongst Ministers.
The arguments advanced for secrecy are the arguments of a state which has not accepted FoI. Lord O'Donnell, the former Cabinet Secretary, gave evidence to the Information Tribunal to the effect that if the document was made public civil servants would not in the future be willing to give frank advice to their Ministers.
The frankness of official advice did not change after the FoI Act was brought into effect. Lord O'Donnell expresses the knee-jerk response of a previous generation. But there is no going back on FoI.
The key time for the risk register to be made public is before the Bill has completed its passage through Parliament. That means now.
The Government can appeal again to another tribunal. If they do, they will be abusing the appeal process, unless that tribunal agrees to resolve the whole issue including its decision within a very truncated timetable – in order to allow the debates which are still going on to be informed by the risk register. Ministers have almost succeeded in keeping the document secret by a legal campaign which has lasted 15 months.
Parliament needs to come to the right conclusion on the Health Bill – otherwise Parliament itself will be further undermined. And it matters so much for the public. The Government should be helping Parliament to do that not exploiting the law to pull the wool over people's eyes.

Refugee Party: Roleplay server maintenance event
Thank you for coming to this emergency meeting. Our representative with Operation Gnomeregan has contacted me with the news that many new refugees are about to arrive at Coldridge Valley. They have requested that we accommodate them by incorporating the refugees into our guild and feeding them.
Hands Springsprocket has also contacted me. It seems that he needs to get a large number of supplies to Thunderbrew Distillery. So we are not only going to allow these refugees to join us, we are going to put them to work. And then we'll sit down and have a party, to relax and welcome our new members.
I know this is short notice, but we must mobilize! Meet at the Coldridge Pass in Coldridge Valley at 9 p.m. on Tuesday. I will give further instructions at that time.
((Full details in non-RP format are after the break.))
Note for non-RPers: double parentheses mean we are speaking out of character (or OOC).
You are all invited to join us for a roleplay event during the 24 hour downtime on Tuesday. We will be meeting at the gnome/dwarf starter zone and participating in some quests together. We won't be forming a raid, so that the quests can be completed; but all participants will be in guild. First, here's the schedule:
- When: 11 p.m. EDT (8 p.m. PDT, 9 p.m. realm time) on Tuesday, July 20
- Where: Coldridge Pass on Shadow Council (US-RP-A)
- Who: Any Alliance character of any level, though gnomes are preferred
- What: We will be completing quests and doing other activities in preparation for Operation Gnomeregan
- How: Ask Peenk or any <B L O G> member to join. Ranks of Soldier and above can invite.
- Don't be a funsucker!
- Keep all chat in guildchat, local chat and public channels in character.
- /join refugee to chat out of character.
- No spam, macros or shouting allowed in any channel except by Peenk.
- If you feel you need to chat OOC in guildchat, please use double parentheses (()) to do so.
I will be streaming the event on our Justin.tv channel and actually attempting to narrate in character. It could be good. It could be a trainwreck. You'll have to see/hear for yourself.
Updated with answers to frequently asked questions:
- The event is designed for level 1, but optimal level is 5. Any level is fine though for joining us.
- Please don't do Hands Springsprocket's delivery quest before the event (unless, of course, you've already done it).

These indeed are trying times for our country…
Mr. President, who side are you on?
These indeed are trying times for our country…
Mr. President, who side are you on?
From what it seems to look like, OBAMA is not on JOHN Q. PUBLIC ' S side.
The "Manchurian Candidate" "Barack Chuka Harrison J Boudel Obama" is a future nightmare. But I admit, I'm not feeling Mitt Romney. It this Latter Day-Mormon shat I don't like. The thing is some strange cult. Where are the 'real' candidates. It's like choosing between the devil and the deep blue sea. Both bad choices.
Remember, shockandawe, one of these guys will become the leader of our country. We know the evil we have now. The nut job we have in there now knows nothing about government, business, etc. and he is our President. He has nothing but a communist background. He's a liar and deceiver and knows how to move "Fast and Furious" to destroy and not build up. Just look at his background for character and then compare that with Romney's. There is no comparison. Out of the 2 Romney is the best choice.
There is nothing wrong with a Mormon and it is not a cult. why do you people act so ridiculous about it? I would think you would fear the muslim in office more than anyone else. Were you afraid of ANixon who wa a qwuaker, or Kennedkhy who was a catholic or george Awashignton who was Deis? Don't act stupid.
At least he's an American, a REAL businessman, has a clean record and is not associated with muslims, marxists, and socialists. Got to at least give him a try – it's far better than the alternative!
Thank you.
Don't let the move Ron Paul to the "day-before" the convention like they are trying to do. We have the people and the delegates. Vote Ron Paul
I have nothing but the utmost respect for Ron Paul, but Romney is our candidate – if you all vote for Ron Paul, the votes will be wasted and Obama will get in again. It's that simple…A vote for Ron Paul is a vote for Obama. There is not enought people to vote for Ron Paul to win. Please I beg of you. Romney was not my first choice but he's the winner and I have confidence in him that he will do his best for America. God Bless America
His and not ours.
This genk in the WH has been a disaster for our great Country. Why would anybody vote for him again. I will tell you who is low enough to do that. The welfare indolent, shiftless, lazy who will not work but will vote for anything that promises them free money, free place to live, and free medical care. Obama has done all that to a fair segment of the population just to get their vote. These welfare cheats are stupid enough that they do not understand he is taking their Country away from them. If he is successful they have a very rude awakening. Once a socialist/communist take over everybody, but the elite, are on starvation wages and if they do not work they will not only not eat, but they will be on the street. Just look at Castros Cuba.
None of that is going to be free. If they think health care is going to be free hooray for them. It's a shame that they don't realize what a liar he is.
I agree with you heavy6878. Some people are absolutely 'stupid' to vote for this usurper. But, evidence shows that he stole the 2008 elections and he's working to steal the 2012 elections. There's a lot of other politicians complicit with him, also. That's a problem. And our courts haven's shown any action against him either. The lazy people who keep voting for him will pay a big, big price in the future. They will get a very rude awakening. If anyone wants to help top the corrupt obama machine from stealing the 2012 elections contact: Thomas Fitton, Pres. of Judicial Watch, 425 Third St. SW, Washington, DC 20024; Tel: (202) 646-5172 or 1-888-593-8442; FAX: (202) 646-5199; email: email@example.com http://www.JudicialWatch.org
See website: http://www.haasstrep68.com page 4 for the history of treason and for anyone who may want to help remove obozo from office before the election.
Question, how could our Military Generals sit back and do nothing when Obama clearly was caught on tape performing a treasonous act by telling the Russian president that,"after my re-election I will have more flexibility", when he was referring to the missile defense of our country. If that was not a treasonous act, what is? It sickens me that nothing is being done to rid the United estates of the cancer by anyone.
It is one of who knows how many treasonous acts that haven't been caught on tape. It didn't bother him when it was outed……like he knows nothing will be done. Hate to sound like a conspiracy nut but what the heck is going on? Is there something more sinister than media bias covering him?? I want this video be shown by the Republican party in a Romney ad. Night and day!
Congress declares treason, not the generals.
Yes, abominable BO !!! Why is everyone who could, doing nothing? Anyone who sucks up to Russia is again, abominable ! UGH, DISGUSTING, HATEFUL. America is sinking !!!
I'm worried that joining up with these cranky 'Mormons' is a case of jumping from the frying pan, into the fire. These Latter Day people are odd, odd, odd…Which nuts are making these odd-ball selections, which fools are 'choosing'? They should all be delivered into the mad-house – Bilderbergers, the freaks, the nuts, who ever they are, they must be stopped NOW so that the American people can make real geniune choices, from real genuine candidates. These 'presidential candidates' are no more than "Manchurian Candidate!
What cranky Mormons are you talkking about? Wevhave a Latter Day Saints Church in our small town right across from the high school. Imagine that! and they don't bother anyone and none of us go around hiding in case they try harm us. Stop being ignorant. And, also you know what, they look just like everybody else.
shockandawe, what idiocy are you spouting? No Mormon has been hysterical or threatened anhyone. You're crazy. There is nothing odd about the Mormons. You are the one that is acting odd.
I think some people are trying to tell us to suspend critical judgement and thinking. Sorry, no can do!
This is an example of why I believe the American people have to be extremely careful about Mitt Romney. If these are examples of Mormons, or their followers or believers, I think that the American people need to seek out another candidate and seek one out fast. These cult members display a frightening level of hysteria when the feel like they can smell power. What's the difference , none, just two extremes on a continuum. Very odd, very odd people indeed!
The high echelon of the military have been on the wrong side for a long time now, the lower echelons see this and are rebelling. Bring the troops home and protect our own boarders like Ron Paul says.
To the United States military officer corps. Please save us! I trust in God and the United States Marines.
What are they supposed to do for you?
Is this the beginning of the end of the US os A as we know it ? Sounds lik eit is if OBOZO the magnificent is re-elected.
Time for an ERADICATION Election of all those members of Congress and the white house who are Incumbents in the NOVEMBER National Election of 2012 .
tHE U.S. CORPORATE LOGO NEEDS TO BE "CHANGED" ALSO…
I don't know which is worse – Obama or his "Willing Victims" who believe whatever he says to them.
Obama has done nothing for the country, nothing for the economy, nothing for jobs growth, and his Obamacare is a financial disaster yet these "willing victims" continue to say he is wonderful. Granted he is a good speaker but otherwise he is no leader; he is a walking disaster. He continues to tell every group what they want to hear but never delivers. His agenda is slavery for all of us. Get rid of him in 2012 or prepare to do some serious bending over.
I noticed all the white faces in the audience, another group of enraptured white fans cutting off their noses to spite their faces. How can they have missed that he detests them and their white faces?
Obama is a communist and a Muslim. I call him the Muslim Marxist. His principles and values are not in line with the principles and values of our Constitution. Obama is the enemy within who is here to take America down. He wants to change everything that made us great. He evens wants to destroy our morals completely by taking down the church with homosexual marriages. Obama has appointed 3 Muslims with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. Yet, Michelle Bachman is being forced to apologize for saying that Anthony Weiner's wife has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. The tactic is to attack, demean, and make the truth go away. Obama is destroying the greatest country in all of history. He will do it if elected again.
He is a card-carryingmember of the socialist party. Perhaps Michelle was speaking out of turn. What does that have to do with anything?
Youv'e been duped about Machmann. Send this letter to Boehner: Mr. Speaker — I urge you to rethink your position with Rep. Bachmann in removing her from her current position on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. I believe that the letters that she has written on behalf of the American people are valid, very much on point and represent the views and interests of the America people. To allow members and relatives of members of the Muslim Brotherhood into our governmental structure without background checks and/or security clearances is absolutely absurd and ought to have the policy reversed immediately! What other way do we have of protecting our people and nation? Why would you reprimand any member of Congress for bringing such an issue to light on behalf of the American people? We applaud Rep. Bachmann for her thoroughness, concern and courage to do so. We wish that more members of Congress would step forward for the protection of the American people. It appears that very few members of Congress have either the character or concern that the America as we KNEW it is being destroyed before our eyes and want to do anything about it. On the contrary, they seem to be facilitating America's destruction at high speed.
In Kenya
Most people know by now that Hussein is not legitimate, so, WHY continue calling the thug "president" You want to honor the "office"?? The office should NOT have a cocaine addled thug hell bent on destroying America, wake UP!!
"Barack Obama" = BO= [Bad] Body Odor, he stinks like Hell!
All of the Treasonous statements this Leader has openly said and nobody in Congress has responded. He is acting like a di ct at or or worse. He doesn't follow are Gov. proceedures and rule of Law. It is almost like a king domWe didn't elect someone to Re-make our form of Gov. He was elected to follow the laws, not arbatrararly change them.
Please, can anyone tell me, who is Mitt Romney and what does he actually believe in? This Latter Day-Mormon thing is something that is NEVER spoken about. I hear they don't celebrate birthdays, and they don;t celebrate Christmas, so what would, I a Christian, be doing with that?
Same thing you do with Obama a muslim and John Kennedy, a catholic.l Deal with it.
Deal with it? The world of Catholicism in the time of JFK was vastly different than the world of Islam at the present time, there were no bombings and killings by Catholic radicals, there was no huge Homeland Security department except the military, we could get on airline flights without being humiliated and insulted. It was such a different time you could almost say it was like Andy Griffith's Mayberry in comparison to now. JFK was not on every stinking news broadcast telling us in ministerial cadence how great he was and what great things he was doing for us, in retrospect JFK's Boston accent was almost quaint. JFK was no saint, but the nation was prosperous and Congress and the courts mattered far more than they do now.
I don't see or hear of any Mormons doing any bombings, terrorist activities, mass killings, so what's the problem with them?
flipper is on the same side as obama. That's whats wrong with that.
If you don't know that already just put a search in for obama same as romney. Drop the religion thing and get on with more important issues.
Are you a Mormon, you seem very 'emotional' where they are concerned. This is a place for adult conversation, if you are underage, then please remove yourself immediately, as this is an full-powered adult discussion zone. I grew up a long time ago, so I really don't feel the need to be shouted down for asking the relevant questions. Mitt Romney is not my God, and I would appreciate it if you would stop trying to convince me otherwise.
These decisions have to be made with a cold hard mind. I've no time for hysteria. We all made the same mistake with that piece of trash presently in the White House. I for one, do not intend to do something in haste and repent at leisure.
I don't believe there is an age limit in here. Your questions and concerns are not relevant. I grew up a long time ago also. if that makes a difference to you. Mitt Romney is not my god either and I don't believe he believes he is. I am not shouting at you as I am typing in lower case. Some of you are being very prejudiced. I have as much right to be in here as you do whatever my age is and that is none of your business. Have you seen violence from Mormons? I doubt it.
Mitt Romeny is the only choice Americans have..either him or Obama. At least Romney loves being an American and loves his country. Mormons do have strange unbliblical doctrine BUT they are very patriotic and loving of country and flag and the American people. Remember the mormon choir? They do celebrate Christmas as well as all the other christian holidays. Their choir is famous for Christmas music. I just wish there was a better candidate other than romeny but as there is not it will have to be him.
In reply to shockandawe. You are soooo ignorant about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We celebrate all Christian holidays and birthdays and anniversaries. We know that our founding fathers were inspired by God in order to win the Revolutionary War and create our country!! If we do not defeat Obama, the next president after him will NOT be able to reverse all the Socialist evils he will put in place.
Instead of believing what you hear, why don't you research it?
I'll bet he's not on our side. Speaking on side's he may or may not be on, I wonder who the guy really is? He, of course as we all know, has put a 3 million dollar closer on all his records, and the only thing I can figure is, He's hiding his true Identity. Seriously, let's think about this, He seems to hate wealthy people, why would he feel it's neccessary to punish the wealthy, whom already pays 35% on their Taxe's, then he feel's as tho they still are not paying their fair share, how rediculas is that? I believe the young man has lost his mind, or in the least, sic in the head. Obama must have lived in a third world country for most of his life, and when he see's "RICH", he fills up with rage, then start's to piss and moan about their wealth. Man, it must be miserable as heck to live up in that mind of his. I think, that I would have to shoot myself, if I were his mind. To know that I am his mind, then discovered that I had nothing in it, dang that would be depressing as heck, qick somebody, shoot me, Ican't stand even the thought of that, lord have mercy. Let me finish up with, simply he is not on our side.
The strange thing he is, he is wealthy himself. But, he wants everyone else to spread their wealth while he hangs on to his.
Is History Repeating Itself?
"Food For Thought"
Semper Fi!
No, nothing wrong with Mormonism, if you consider yourself equal with Christ. They believe that anyone could have been chosen as Savior, it just happened to be Jesus. They also believe man can become a god. This information came from a pastor who has done extensive research on Mormonism and interviewed Mormons. He was on TV a couple of weeks ago and I was astounded to learn this. Mormon or not, Romney is of the elitists in the Republican Party and they have cheated and trashed Ron Paul. You can vote for Satan (Obama) or his brother (Romney). I will be writing in Ron Paul, the only Constitutionalist in Washington D.C. If enough people do this, we might see some change for the good.
I am done voting for the lesser of two evils. If you have fallen into that trap, then you are exactly where both parties want you.
No one cheated and trashed Ron Paul. And Romney is not satan's brother and is not evil. EVery religion has its beliefs and just because the Mormons are different than you, you have to ostracize them. Shame on you. You belittle yourself when you talk the way you are.
Lovin, what's that you say, "not evil"? You say your "not a Mormon", yet provide all abetting for them. Will you also not frown at the next thousand children they bring into the world that may include 'What "god" do YOU hope to be when you get to heaven?' Not evil you say? Well then, I would hope it is done in splendid ignorance, for one of the first things a Bible student should learn is just because you cannot tell what ailments lurk, doesn't mean they aren't already at work. Note: "ailments" is particularly light when dealing with the "wrath of God". For those who hold the Bible in one hand, and want to attach extra-biblical items in the other are inviting the Lord's wrath (Romans 1, Galatians 1), no need for verse specifics here as these are held at introductory level and universal context, but I will on request.
Not evil? As extensive a reproof that has been published for years, many, providing those who don't trust mankind's foolish goodwill narrative of 'God accepts all faiths' but makes full proof. Is it any wonder why we have the problems we do? Why it is so inconceivable that we tie God's hands from bringing us our needs for this land yet by action beg for the rod? I haven't for years. What will you choose?
You speak the truth. If the vote is divided, Obama will be back in. Ron Paul does not have a chance. Since Romney has turned out to be the front runner, apparently the majority of GOP feel he will right, so use your head and think about your bigoted comments and the damage they can do. I doubt that you know anything abut Mormons at all. I livde in the same town and have had no problems with them and neither has anhyone else. I challenge you to come to my town and tell the difference tween ther Mormons and any one else who lives here. Dumbo!
In response to freedixie. You are soooo wrong. The LDS Church does NOT believe that anyone could have been picked to be our Savior. Jesus Christ is and was the only one to atone for our sins and die for all mankind so we could live again!! It is not so good to get your information from an anti-Mormon pastor or even a misinformed member!!
I am so glad you have joined me. Some of the people in here are so hateful in regard to Mormons and their beliefs and actually know nothing about them. At least now I have an ally.
The land of the FREE is being taken over by: 1) the black guys voting 96% for a guy who is a Kenyan citizen and an anti American racist and an Islamist to boot. (that´s why they are called AFRICAN Americans) 2) the Latinos, who don´t want to learn English, live in ghettos, hate Americans and also vote in bloc with the blacks. Both communities making holes in the same American boat with leftist America haters, who have already Financially ruined the US. While they resentfully look at the American Americans, they don´t understand that they will sink together. What has Obama done for them? Let´s hear the answers…
Enough with the personal attacks and name-calling, you guys. This isn't the place for it. Rumble on your own time.
If you think people in that pretend argument about "Bigotry"…
Take heart against all individual or group counterweights to the truth. For guess what, treating it less that worthwhile states openly to everyone what that person stands for. Hiding within your comfortable ideologies won't ever be able to withstand those who's exposed trust in the truth are fearfully evident when confirmed by God!
To the unspoken commenter, It doesn't matter whether or not you have entered into live Mormon / non-Mormon debate. What matters is if we have the Lord's best interest at heart or not. But people just don't want to fool with it, you know, His own are those who "hear the word of God and do it". Feelings of compassion over sound details won't cut it for me or anyone else. But people, by nature are stubborn and will refuse lest they find truth within themselves to hear, and indeed the details take priority over any perceived "hate".
Being true to oneself is all that is required. Hear and correct or contemplate possibilities, but when stout character proclamations stating 'hater', 'racist', 'homophobe', 'Islamophobe' and so on enters the ear, conscience no longer needs the eye to confirm what the tongue hath wrought. For those who aren't aware but seek to know, God is quite clear without any confusion whatsoever, saying, "man looks on the outward' but God looks on the heart". Think in clear terms therefore, every time you hear a liberal spout off for instance some racial accusation, know that there is only one type of person to adequately fulfill this capacity to understand an inner person, and that is by being supernaturally empowered by the Holy Spirit with the gift of "distinguishing of spirits". No other entity in creation can fill this task, including man.
God Bless You!
Obama is on the Palestinians side he hates Isreal he hates Americans and the has been hidding his passed from everybody for the last 5 years. The media is also in on this cover up. He has relaxed our boarders so to the extent that what I believe is so that his Palestinian followers are entering our boarders in droves and when he gets enough over here we will then be rippen for a hostile take over of our country. If we don't get Obama out of office we will see our world change in a heart beat. It might already be too late. If he loses I think he will refuse leaving the WH and he will still have time to work out a national disaster then exersising his presidentail executive power which allows him to remain in office due to the disaster which he will disguise and has created as a hostile takeover of the US he then will call in the UN for help which will then keep in in power even after the elections. Obama has taken over our communitations all he has to do is exercise this power that congress has allowed his to have. Read up on it. All he has too do is turn all communication off and stay in power and we the people will suspect that another country or enemy has invaded us when all along it's our president that has pulled this off. Why else has Obama with held his passed. We have more on his wrongful acts of treasion then we have on his passed. ALSO…I like Ron Paul but I think if we throw our vote to paul that all were doing is giving Obama a 2nd term. Romney is a God fearing man Mormon or not for those who are questioning Romney go to http://www.LDS.Org and read up on the faith of Mormons. They believe in Christ, they Love Christ, and they Love this Country. Give him a chance. My prediction….We have so many lazy people in this country that those people will not get off there butts and at least go study up on LDS that they will vote for Ron Paul and split the votes and Obama will get back in office. If I had a Billion Dollars I would bet on it. The people of this great nation are a sleep, put what will happen will awake the sleeping giant that is with in….but life will never be the same for our kids, and grandkids. Sorry to say. Stock up on food, ammo, say your prayers, have faith in God because were going to need his help to get out of this. God bless Amaerica! I hope I'm wrong about my predictions, This is what I see going on in my studying of what going on in the world. God bless.

I just don't get it, most of the people kmow the problems and Ron Paul has taken the position that he will eliminate the problems (Fed etc;,) and for some reason prople act like they should not vote for him. I may be wrong but my research here in Texas shows that all the Reps voted for the NDAA's EXCEPT Ron Paul and yet people don't want to vote for him.
It makes no sense at all it's obvious that he is the best man for out country.

MindCrack Fan Server
The MindCrack Fan Server is a community of MindCrack fans and friends. Like the MindCrack server, the Fan Server was a private, whitelisted server, so only those who were invited can join the server. The server was closed on 16 June 2013, reasons not specified but possibly due to internal disputes. The ultimate decision maker, MonkeyDK, chose to shut down the server. Guude himself didn't see why the server should be shut down entirely. A rebranding of the server or a reboot had been discussed before but it never materialized.[1]
The Fan Server was a Minecraft server started by Guude on 20 October 2011[2] after MonkeyDK donated money to him to start it.[3] The server was planned primarily as a place where people can have fun and play with other fans of MindCrack.[4] In the beginning, Guude had selected about 15 people to join the server,[5] including friends of Guude and those who have personally helped Guude. The server held a maximum of 40 people. Members of the MindCrack Server held contests to let more people on. Since then, members of the MindCrack Fan Server held contests themselves or voted to invite people to get onto the server. Around June 2012, the cap was increased to 100 people and existing server members could invite or hold contests to let one person each onto the server.[6]
The vanilla server has had two major map resets (totaling three worlds). The most recent one was after the release of Minecraft 1.5. The world was deliberately rebooted in order to rejuvenate the community. This world soon became corrupted before things were off the ground so Guude rolled back the map to a previous state.[7][8]
The most recent map on the server featured command-block powered teleportation pads that teleport players to and from seven different themed villages: Cactus Creek (western), steampunk, futuristic, modern, tree house, medieval, and anarchist.[9] The portals and village layouts were built using creative mode, but generally everything else is done in survival mode.
Formerly active members[edit]
Inactive or previous members[edit]
MindCrack Fan Server Tours[edit]
Guude has started a new video series titled "MindCrack Fan Server Tours" in which he tours members' builds on the MindCrack Fan Server in order to promote the server. According to Guude, "the tours were [his] best attempt at making everyone happy."[10] Guude hasn't done a tour in a while due to his busy schedule.

"There never were in the world two opinions alike, no more than two hairs or two grains; the most universal quality is diversity." —Michel Eyquem, seigneur de Montaigne (1533 - 1592)
Diversity is a central design principle of the Domain Name System. With respect to the DNS root, it's the reason that there are 13 separately managed root servers with 12 independent operators. It's the reason Verisign operates the two root servers we're responsible for — the A and J roots — as well as other name servers — at multiple locations around the world. It's also the reason that within these locations operated by Verisign, multiple physical servers handle the incoming traffic. And it's the reason that among these multiple servers, we use multiple hardware and software platforms, as well as multiple network providers.
In other words, diversity is one reason the DNS industry in general, and Verisign in particular, doesn't do everything the same way and in the same place.
Rather, at Verisign, we aim to do things well in multiple ways in multiple places. That way, in case there's a failure in any one part of the system, we have the assurance that many other independent parts will still be up and running. That's true both quantitatively with our multiple points of presence around the world, and qualitatively, with our multiple implementation choices, from server to network to operating system.
As I explained recently in a conversation with Sean Kerner of eWeek, Verisign has added the FreeBSD operating system to the mix of options we support at our edge sites, alongside Linux. Our technical community, familiar with many operating systems, found FreeBSD to be a particularly good match to our interests, both in terms of the services offered by the operating system, and the interaction with the BSD community.
VBSDCON 2013 – bringing together members of the BSD community for a series of roundtable discussions, educational sessions, best practice conversations, and exclusive networking opportunities. To learn more and register click here.One of the good modes of interaction with any community is a conference, and we're pleased to be hosting one this October 25-27, vBSDcon 2013. Technical leaders from the BSD community will be speaking over the weekend on a variety of current topics, including PkgNG, bsdconfig (a FreeBSD configuration utility/library), Netmap, and migration from GCC to LLVM/Clang. There will also be a presentation by Netflix on "Dis-spelling the myth of the 'dot-oh' release". Online registration is open through October 23.
The conference will be held in Dulles, Virginia, USA, near the Washington Dulles International Airport and just a short drive from Verisign's headquarters.
vBSDCon is the result of the initiative of a team within the Verisign technical community led by Rick Miller. It's also made possible thanks to several generous external sponsors — currently including iXsystems, The FreeBSD Foundation, RootBSD, CDW, HP and Daemon Security, Inc.
Community efforts on operating system software, and the Internet more generally, succeed through openness, a point I made in a recorded interview with Will Backman of BSDTalk. We've benefited from others' efforts on standards and open source software, and are likewise pleased to give back to it by hosting a conference and encouraging the ongoing good work of the BSD community.

Wow, can you believe it's already the end of March? Spring is on the way...I can see little daffodil shoots coming up through the grass, by the pasture. Hyacinths and tulips are popping up all over the place...and the grass and weeds have gotten off to a good start. Time to weed this weekend!
Any exciting plans for today? Tea with friends or just a quick cup and a nice break? We started the day off with no power, so a little busy catching up on work...but I will be back around 4pm ET for a cup of Earl Grey and hopefully some conversation! Maybe I can make those blueberry muffins today, too...they would be wonderful with tea! Have a lovely Thursday and enjoy your tea! :) |

I took my Mom for Mohs surgery on her nose today, we had to be there at 10am. However, after we got there the doctor examined the basil cells on her nose and gave her the option of either surgery or the use of a special cream that has a high success rate and practically the same amount of recovery time as the surgery. So after alot of thought and discussion she decided on the cream treatment. It will take six weeks of treatment and then after 2 -3 wks. she's to go back for an exam and if the cells aren't completely gone then she will have surgery. But - the surgery will be much more minimal. So we got to come home earlier than expected. When I dropped Mom off at her house she said she was going to make a hot cup of tea because she was so cold. I had coffee and a blueberry muffin when I got my own abode. Felt good to be back inside a warm place. So, at least my Mom had Thursday tea. Not sure which tea she brewed, she likes Liptons and herbals. |

Boy, 4, hit by a vehicle near Alice
ALICE - A 4-year-old boy was flown to Driscoll Children's Hospital Sunday night after he was struck by a vehicle in Jim Wells County, officials said.
HALO-Flight officials received a call about 7:45 p.m. for a vehicle-pedestrian accident outside of Alice, flight paramedic Derek Bockholt said.
Paramedics took the boy to a nearby hospital by ground ambulance and met HALO-Flight officials. The boy then was flown to Driscoll Children's Hospital.
The boy suffered a critical head injury, Bockholt said.
Jim Wells Sheriff's Office officials were not available late Sunday.

On a beautiful Green Bay summer evening, practice opened right at 6:30 and continued till nearly 9:00. Two more camp bodies were added at defensive back. A new #20 is Antonio Malone 6-0 188 Toledo, and the new #42 is Jeremy Modkins 6-0 197 Texas Christian. Both looked lost throughout the practice.
A focus of the practice was clearly the correction of problems revealed in the opening game disaster in San Diego. From the blast of the horn that opened practice, the offense was working on basic pass protection and running plays. As the drills progressed, quarterbacks and wideouts were practicing quick passes from a three step drop. Adding the line and backs, the team ran through draw plays, screen passes and quick dumps to the backs.
As is being widely reported, the offensive line is in a state of flux. Darren College, the highly touted second round draft pick, is running with the second unit. Fifth round selection Tony Moll, who played tight end most of his college career and has never played guard, is now starting. Third round pick Jason Spitz is the other guard. Because of Chad Clifton's injuries, Free Agent rookie Jason Bourke spent most of the time at left tackle.
The rules of engagement were so limited, such as no tackling of Ahman Green below the waist, that it is very hard to judge how the offensive line is doing. I do know that the street free agent veterans recently signed, Mookie Moore and Tupi Peko, are clearly behind the rookies on the depth chart. The strategy for now seems to be to shuffle rookies in and out and hope they develop some consistency.
Quarterbacks and receivers spent an entire segment on a drill designed to get receivers ready to catch passes. A quarterback was under center with 4 receivers in the pattern. The QB hit the designated target. At the same time 2 other passers threw to 2 other receivers running routes. The drill was quick and efficient. Mark Boerigter continues to drop passes.
Another passing drill involved quick stop patterns. Long shot Ruvell Martin 6-4 217 is a great target for this play. By the way, Robert Ferguson was out, again, with some sort of injury. Rod Gardner had one nice play in 11 on 11 action. Greg Jennings stood out most of the time. However, he dropped a quick pattern that appeared to be the same pass he dropped on 4th down against San Diego. If he has problems with the quick patterns in traffic, he is not yet the answer to play opposite Driver.
About half way through practice, special teamers worked on a wedge busting drill. A group of 3 players stood close together holding large pads. Wedge busters would run through the middle. Mark Boerigter and tight end Tory Humphrey were the most enthusiastic attackers in this drill. The coaches also put special team players through other technique drills in protecting and covering kicks.
In actual field goal drills, the 2 kickers, Cundiff and Raymer, were both perfect, but they did not go beyond about 45 yards. The punters Ryan and Sander alternated as holders. Sander made a nice recovery of a bad snap to get the ball down.
I did not have a very good view of most of the defensive drills. There seemed to be a lot of emphasis on basic hand and foot placement. Highlight films feature the melee that developed when linebackers went against running backs in the nutcracker drill. I heard the roar of the crowd, but could not see the actual event. News reports say that the coaches loved it when the players on both offense and defense stepped in to defend their mates. This was in sharp contrast to the lack of combativeness against San Diego. Much more happened at practice and I hope to follow up later. In summary, this was a practice designed to work on the deficiencies demonstrated in the first preseason game. The drills seemed appropriate and the players mostly worked hard. Brett Favre was particularly animated, as he moved people around and asserted himself in the drills. On the other hand, he threw an interception to Charles Woodson and Marquand Manuel should have had another.
The schedule for Wednesday is a full pads practice at 2:00. Thursday is another day and night practice. I will see as much of those practices as possible.

Friday Sermon delivered on 25th October 2013 Building of Mosques and Our Responsibilities After reciting Tashahhud, Ta'awwudh and Surah Fatihah, Hudhur (ayyadhullahota'ala) said: With His grace God has enabled the Ahmadis of Brisbane and the Ahmadis of Australia to build a mosque in Brisbane, Australia. We could not thank God enough for this favour. The site was purchased about fifteen years ago and a mission house and a Prayer hall was built. When Hazrat Khalifatul Masih visited Brisbane for the first time in 2006 he felt that in spite of these buildings the site did not have the vigour/liveliness that can now be felt with the building of the mosque. Today's sermon was based on a few commandments of God to encourage us and our next generations to continue to pay these dues. The verses recited at the start are verses 30 and 32 of Surah Al Ar'af and they are regarding mosques.

Friday Sermon delivered on 18th October 2013 Prime Attributes of True Servants of Allah After reciting Tashahhud, Ta'awwudh and Surah Fatihah, Hudhur (ayyadhullahota'ala) said: The Promised Messiah(as) has explained the word Ebaadi (My servants) as: 'Those people who believe in Allah the Exalted and the Holy Prophet(saw).' These are the people who are Ebaadi and are thus close to God and those who do not believe are distant from God. God states that in order to become His true servant His commandment should be obeyed. This would bring good and prayers would be accepted. When God states that His servants should say what pleases God, it definitely demands enhancement of faith and requires one to bring one's word and deed in congruity. ...Read more here |
Friday Sermon delivered on 11th October 2013 Strive to Fulfill the Conditions of Baiat Hudhur (ayyadhullahota'ala) delivered the Friday sermon After reciting Tashahhud, Ta'awwudh and Surah Fatihah, Hudhur (ayyadhullahota'ala) said: Hazrat Khalifatul Masih said that those of us who claim to be in the Bai'at of the Promised Messiah need to self-analyse as to how much are we fulfilling the objective of his advent. He said that he had come to strengthen faith, therefore we need to analyse if our faith is inclined towards being strengthened. He said faith is strengthened by perfect belief in God, but there is too much reliance on worldly resources. Today reliance on God has become secondary while the importance of worldly people and worldly matters has become foremost....Read more here |

Winner:John Thomas
From MN150
I have been working on a documentary film of John Thomas for some time, and I premiered a preview at the History Center last year. He is from north Minneapolis, and he became the first African American to run an international organization. He worked in the displacement camps after World War ll, and he was in charge of operations at the Austrian-Hungary border during the 1956 revolution. He also ran the U.S. Cuban Refugee Program for President Kennedy, and the U.S. Vietnam Refugee Program for President Johnson. Later in his career, he helped evacuate the millions displaced by Idi Amin. It is estimated that he helped save the lives of nearly four million people during the course of the cold war. Born in 1907, he held a Masters degree from the University of Minnesota, and he was a leader at the Phyllis Wheatley Settlement House in Minneapolis. I have much more information, but this is truly a story of heroism, hope, and inspiration about an unknown but significant Minnesotan.

Alright so I have been doing some coopers kits lately to get a cheap pipe line built. The kits call for 1kg of dextrose so I have been substituting half of that for DME which is almost $8 a pound around here. What I would like to do is substitute the dextrose and DME completely with grains. I understand that say with an efficiency of 70% I would need roughly 1.7lbs grain per pound of dme. What I'm wondering is: 1. Seeing as I'm topping the kit up with tap water, do I need to boil the Wort after the mashing/steeping process. 2. For light ales would 3lbs 2 row and 1/2lb crystal be good. Also for stouts would 3lbs 2 row and some chocolate or roasted be good. I'm not looking to go all grain just can get grains cheaper than DME and would like to make these kits as cheap but as good as possible. Thanks in advance.
You do need to boil the grain part of the wort, but the Cooper's kits are engineered so that minimal boiling is necessary (the instructions say no boil). Seems to me though that if you are going to the trouble of a partial mash to enhance a cheap kit, you might consider the value of your time. I've found that even a partial mash takes me a good 4 hours including set up, mash, sparging and clean up. Where I live DME is available in 50lb sacks for about $4 a pound, so you might plan ahead!
I'll just be doing the partial mash BIAB style on the stove top so I'm not to worried about clean up and all that. Only way I can get that much DME is online and than the shipping charge pretty much makes it as expensive if not more than the $8 a pound I pay now. Why would I have to boil the partial mash?
What I mean is you will have to do the mash and then boil the wort for an hour ideally with some hops to help coagulate the proteins. BIAB will certainly reduce clean up time. I've done this and used a big commercial strainer to drain the bag and poured some hot water over the grains to rinse them out. Add the Cooper's kit about 5 minutes before the end of the boil to sanitize everything. That should work out. Are you pretty far from a homebrew supply store? I've found that if I give my "local" store a call a week or so in advance they will order an extra box of Munton's DME for me, and sell me 25 kilos for about $225. The store is actually 130 miles away, so I bundle my DME order with a trip to the Big City for other stuff too (eg CHEAP Clothing!)
You'll definitely need to boil the wort after you mash, just to make sure it's sanitized. I think you could do a short boil though, say fifteen minutes. Also I wouldn't worry about adding any extra hops; think of it this way, you're not putting any hops in with the DME or dextrose, so why would you hop the extract from your mash? To add to what RobertRGeorge was saying about time: I bought a 20 minute boil kit from midwest, and then decided to do a mini mash with some oats and two-row. it went from a two hour brew day to five hour brew day. It turned out great, though!
Oh I get what your saying, I'm off on parental now so I have all the time in the world. Even if I could get cheap dme, I would like to start playing with grains. So 20 minutes should be long enough of a boil and throw the can in last 5 min to mix everything together and sanitize. sounds good to me.

1. Track down your PIN numbers.
The first comes from Dutch frequent traveler Ted van de Weteringe, who suggests that you "track down the PIN number for your bank or credit card. More and more places require it for payment. Got caught out at a French motorway toll booth recently."
2. Memorize your passport number.
In addition, I recommend that you memorize your passport number if you can; the human brain is very well built to memorize a seven-digit number, which is why people could remember telephone numbers so well (at least back when our phones did not remember them for us). Most passport numbers run to 10 digits, but this can come in handy again and again on your trip, including when checking into your hotel, renting a car or doing any banking -- and inevitably when you want to fill out your customs form during your flight home, but recall that your passport is jammed way in the back of the overhead bin, your descent has started and the seatbelt signs are on for good.
Poll: Have You Memorized Your Passport Number?
Okay, now on to tips to put into use during your travels...
3. Keep it clean.
Keeping yourself from getting sick while traveling can be a losing battle, but you can take some precautions along the way, especially in extremely high-traffic areas like airports, your airplane seat, fast-food restaurants and the like. Simply keeping your hands clean has been proven to make a significant positive difference in everything from kindergarten flu transmission to surgical outcomes.
To that end, nonprofit community developer Frank Lang keeps it clean (and simple): "One word: Purell!"
Avoiding the Airplane Cold
4. Find your quiet place at the airport.
Several veteran travelers I spoke to suggested you join or pay to get into airline club lounges, whether to catch up on work, decompress, or even shower and sleep. (See Seven Ways to Score Airport Lounge Access.)
If this is too pricey or too much hassle for you, check out AirportHavens.com, a crowd-sourced information site listing "the best places in airports across the country to find some privacy, get some work done or simply relax."
Nine Ways to Make the Most of a Layover
5. Enjoy your window seat to the fullest.
On a cross-country flight out of San Diego earlier this month, I had a window seat on a crisp, clear day. I pulled out my camera and took a heap of photos; you can see some of them here.
As I was taking the photos, I was intensely curious about exactly where we were; unfortunately, with movies and DirecTV dominating the in-flight offerings these days, the flight path channel is pretty much history, at least on U.S. domestic flights. I wasn't the only interested person; one family was driving a grumpy flight attendant batty asking where we were. With scenery like that in the photos linked above, it is no surprise.
To solve this problem, check out America from the Air by Daniel Mathews and James S. Jackson, an "illustrated guide of landscapes seen from commercial airplane windows across the United States." At 400 pages, the book itself is a bit of a brick, so the authors provide a CD-ROM with all the flight paths as well.
For a somewhat more compact print option, have a look at Window Seat: Reading the Landscape from the Air by Gregory Dicum.
6. Learn about a new place, quickly and intimately.
Joe Brancatelli, editor of JoeSentMe.com and business travel columnist for Portfolio.com, notes that "People always ask me how to 'learn' about a new place. Well, you can read the guidebooks, of course, and watch the videos. You can also read the local newspapers and whatever. But, to me, the best way to get a quick feel of a place and get at least a basic understanding of the people is this: Go to their food markets and their local photography studios.
"What people eat -- how they butcher their meat, their fruit and vegetable options, what they insist should be purchased fresh and what's available frozen -- says a lot about a culture. Nothing is more elemental than what we eat. Everyone MUST do it and fewer and fewer societies are subsistence farmers, so they have to buy their food somewhere. Whether it is a supermarket in Chicago or the Nagy Vasarcsarnok in Budapest, you'll learn something if you cruise through the place where people shop for sustenance.
"And I love finding the local portrait photographer on a city's high street or even at a village center. Every culture photographs itself and likes to present itself in its best light. So I love looking in the window [of] the local photo studio in a town or a place where I am a newcomer. What holidays do they want to memorialize in photographs? What do they dress up for and how do they dress? What kind of 'official' family portraits do they take? Seeing these images -- and the photographer will always publicly display his best work -- really tells you something about a society.
"I'll always go to those two places before any museum or monument."
When Should You Hire a Tour Guide?
7. Come bearing gifts.
Having some simple items that you might present to a helpful person, or merely to friendly locals, can really enhance your experience of a place. Do some research, and choose your gifts wisely, even if they seem a little off to you. Back in his salad days, Ed Grose, President of Alta Management Services Inc., employed the following on a trip to Southeast Asia: "When I went to Vietnam, I brought a carton of Marlboro cigarettes. The locals loved them."
If you are not comfortable hauling around cancer sticks, have a look around your house or town and think on things that might really work where you are going: New York City pins for kids, cheap Space Needle replicas from Seattle, that kind of thing. You could also have American candies or other food items with you -- sticks of gum, you name it. Don't set the bar too high -- you're not trying to buy folks off; you're just sharing something simple as a friendly gesture.
8. Use free mailing labels in lieu of a personal business card.
I have noticed lately that personal business cards have become much more popular -- perhaps it is because more people are out of work or are changing jobs more often, so they don't have corporate business cards, or because they simply don't want to mix business relationships with social relationships. Kim Kramer Hancock has a solution that puts another modern trend to work for you -- the ubiquitous free mailing labels found in fundraising mailers. "Bring the free address labels that you get in the mail so that you can give people you meet your address to stay in touch or send you stuff."
9. Be prepared for anything, and adapt.
My traveler friends offered all kinds of offbeat advice. For example, Kathleen Boyce, an English teacher living in Beijing, blasts, "Car: drive (being in charge of the music can be overrated)." Japan-based ESL teacher Dan McLaughlin offers, " If traveling in Latin America, don't ask 'Is this the road to Ixtlan?' The answer will always be 'yes.' Ask 'Where does this road go?' instead." Dan adds, "When in Australia do go to a bakery and do eat pies ... often and in copious amounts. In many cities multi-day transit passes can be an incredible value. ... In the Third World, take a cab ... to the next city ... or further if you like."
And remember that some things are better left unsaid, even (especially?) if they are clever; for example, frequent traveler Michael Cox warns, "Don't call the guy who gathers up the plastic bins at security 'Bin Laden.' I actually stopped myself on that one, which is rare for me." Good call.
The point here is that if you keep your eyes open and your mind sharp, your own hardcore nature will help you find the hardcore travel shortcuts, right on the spot.
35 Travel Writers Share Their Secrets
10. Pack duct tape.
Finally, Shelli Gonshorowski, producer at Peter Greenberg Worldwide, has two words for you: "Duct tape! I constantly rip things, and need a hem for new pants/skirts -- it's a miracle fixer on the road." I concur; in fact, back when I was a young rowing coach, I called the roll of duct tape "the toolbox."

The EULEX Prosecutors Unit is part of the EULEX Justice Component. Our main objective is to empower the Kosovo Prosecutors to perform in accordance with European Rule of Law standards.
The authority granted to the EULEX Prosecutors allows us to act exclusively or together with Kosovo Prosecutors in compliance with the applicable law. Our competences vary from "monitoring, mentoring and advising" our national colleagues to exercising executive authority (conducting criminal investigations to prosecuting new and pending cases).
The EULEX Prosecutors' competences are mainly defined in two legal documents – the "Law on the Jurisdiction, Case Selection and Case Allocation of EULEX Judges and Prosecutors in EULEX Kosovo" and the law on the Kosovo Special Prosecutors Office (SPRK). The EULEX Prosecutors are granted Kosovo-wide jurisdiction for a list of criminal offences laid down in the abovementioned laws. The competences are exercised within the Office of the State Prosecutor, the SPRK, and all District and Municipal Prosecutors Offices.
The cooperation between the Kosovo and EULEX Prosecutors at case-level is based on the Arrangement on Cooperation between Kosovo and EULEX Prosecutors, and is conducted in mixed teams, which includes the sharing of competences, workload and responsibility. Since the start of the EULEX Mission in Kosovo in December 2008 and up to this date (October 14th, 2010), the total number of cases dealt with the EULEX Prosecutors is 1360, of which 1042 are new cases and 321 have been handed over by UNMIK. In addition, the EULEX Prosecutors also process citizens' requests on prosecutorial matters. An "on-call" system has been established for both the EULEX Prosecutors in the SPRK and in the District Offices.
In order to improve the fight against organized crime, the EULEX Prosecutors –especially in the SPRK – are establishing operational arrangements with similar Prosecutorial Institutions in other European countries. A new criminal policy has been set up in September 2010 with the objective to focus all prosecutorial capacity on the fight against corruption.

This is a relatively new book by Ann Louise Gittleman, promising a weight loss of 8 lbs. in 11 days. I had such great success on her "Fat Flush" plan last year, but have gained back about 10 lbs of the 30 I lost. It's hard to get back (and stay on) the diet, so I am planning on giving this a whirl. I'm already doing a lot of the things she suggests, so it won't be that hard for me. The link below does a great job of explaining the diet. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Fast Track
Follow-Up Postings:
Looks interesting |
Well, I did the 11 day Fast Track and am 5.5 lbs. lighter. I was down 8 lbs the day after the fast, but somehow gained back a bit on the sequel. The prequel and sequel were very easy for me - lots of fruit and veggies. I was never hungry. The fast day actually wasn't as bad as I had imagined. I had a few episodes of a growling stomach, but kept myself busy and drank lots of water along with the "miracle juice". I am somewhat bloated and constipated now (the 12th day), but feel more energetic and clear headed than I have in a very long time. I'll be doing this again later in the summer! |

Department of History
Home › Academics › Colleges › Henry Kendall College of Arts and Sciences › Departments and Schools › Department of History › News Events and Publications › News › TU to host H.G. Barnard Distinguished Lecture Series in March
Thursday, January 02, 2014
The H.G. Barnard Distinguished Lecture Series will feature Colorado College professor Anne Hyde
Brian Hosmer, the H.G. Barnard Chair of Western American History, has announced that the annual H.G. Barnard Distinguished Lecture Series will feature guest lecturer Anne Hyde, professor of history at Colorado College, on March 25, 2014 at 7 p.m. in the Gilcrease Museum Auditorium.
Hyde, the William R. Hochman Professor of History at Colorado College, will discuss "Hiding in Plain Sight: Mixed Blood Families and Race in the Nineteenth Century United States West." Since arriving at Colorado College in 1991, she has served as chair of Race and Ethnic Studies and as director of the Partnership for Civic Engagement and the Hulbert Center for Southwest Studies. Hyde received her A.B. degree in American Studies from Mount Holyoke College and her M.A. and Ph.D in History from the University of California at Berkeley.
Hyde has published widely in the history of the American West, served on editorial boards for the Pacific Historical Review and the Western Historical Quarterly, and has been elected to the Councils of the Western Historical Association and the American Historical Association.
Her most recent book, Empires, Nations, and Families: A History of the North American West, 1800-1860 (University of Nebraska Press, 2011) was awarded the prestigious Bancroft Prize. Winners are judged in terms of the scope, significance, depth of research and richness of interpretation they present in the areas of American history and diplomacy. Hyde's book, which Columbia University calls "a highly original history of the American West," was among the 175 books considered for the 2012 prize. Using letters and business records to document the broad family associations that crossed national and ethnic boundaries, Hyde effectively recasts the fur trade, Mexican War, gold rushes, and the Overland Trail. "These folks turned out to be almost entirely people of great wealth and status who loved and married across racial and cultural lines," Hyde said. "It turns out that the West of that period is really a mixed race world that made perfect cultural and economic sense until national ideas made that cultural choice impossible in the 1850s."

MBA Student Services Director Robin Brouse Set to Retire
After thirty-five years in the Penn State Smeal College of Business, Robin Brouse will retire from her position as MBA Student Services director at the end of June.
In 1977, Brouse began her first job at Smeal doing part-time work for the college, then accepted a full-time job for the Department of Finance. She joined the Smeal MBA Program in 1980, where her first role in admissions eventually evolved into the directorship of student services.
"There wasn't a 'student services' role then," said Brouse. "I identified that need and formed the position around it."
According to Brouse, student services is a catch-all role that follows students from post-admission through graduation, including everything from advising student organizations and curriculum to managing events to build community among each new cohort of students.
With each incoming class, Brouse made herself a familiar face, starting with messages to incoming students the summer before orientation—also run by the student services team.
"The Smeal MBA Program is a true community. That may not be tangible, but as a program, it's what makes us who we are."
"I'm with them for the entire orientation, I always go to the coffee buzz events, and I attend many of the student activities as well," she said.
Being open and responsive to students' needs requires being there and getting to know them, she says.
"In student services, we have to walk the balance between student advocate and program representative," said Brouse. "To do that, you have to be able to understand people and develop relationships and trust."
Brouse says that despite her many years in the Smeal MBA Program, the job brought new challenges each year.
"It reinvents itself each year with a different group of students; because of them and their diversity, I feel like I know more about the world."
Truly believing in the program was an added benefit, making her job all the more worthwhile.
"The Smeal MBA Program is a true community. That may not be tangible, but as a program, it's what makes us who we are," she said. "We're also privileged to have such high-level and accessible faculty."
Brouse says that, in her time at Smeal, she's been able to achieve her main career goal, which was to have an impact.
"I've seen 3,800 students graduate from the Smeal MBA Program," she said. "I feel like I've had immeasurable friendships for that, which have helped me grow as a person.
