PLUS Loans
Parents may want to consider a Federal PLUS Loan (Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students) to assist in paying the costs of college. This is a government-sponsored loan for parents (including adoptive or step-parents) of dependent undergraduate students. Parents of all income levels are eligible; however, new regulations require a credit-worthiness evaluation.
Application Process
There are three steps in applying for a PLUS Loan. The appropriate time window for beginning and completing this process is between June 15 and July 20, 2014.
1. Fill out the Alma College PLUS Loan Application and send it to the Alma College Student Financial Assistance Office.
2. Complete a PLUS Loan master promissory note (MPN) at www.studentloans.gov. You will need your PIN (the same parent PIN you created when filing the FAFSA) to access the MPN. If you do not have a PIN, you may apply for one at www.pin.ed.gov.
*Note: If you would like to initiate a credit check, you may do so at www.studentloans.gov. Please keep in mind that steps 1 and 2 will still need to be completed and the credit check is only valid for 90 days.
Borrowing Limits
You may borrow up to the cost of attendance minus any aid. The maximum amount of Federal Direct Loan eligibility will be counted as aid whether or not the student decides to accept those student loans. Please refer to your financial aid package to determine your individual PLUS Loan borrowing limits.
Interest Rates
This is a fixed rate loan at 6.41%. For the most up to date interest rates please visit direct.ed.gov.
All PLUS Loans are subject to an origination fee of 4.3%. This fees deducted from the loan proceeds at the time funds are disbursed. For the most up to date fees please visit direct.ed.gov.
PLUS Loans are sent directly to the school in two disbursements for the Fall and Winter semesters. A separate PLUS Loan must be originated for the Spring Term. The loan will be credited to the student's account balance and any excess will be refunded at your discretion.
Repayment of your PLUS Loan begins within 60 days after disbursement. The maximum repayment period is 10 years and the minimum monthly payment on principal and interest is $50. Payments can be deferred by contacting the Department of Education and requesting deferment.
Parents with adverse credit history, those who have accounts more than sixty days delinquent, or those who have filed bankruptcy in the past may be denied a PLUS Loan. If you are notified of a denial, you can still assist your student with the college investment in the following ways:
- Continue pursuing the PLUS Loan with a co-signer. Please contact the Student Financial Assistance Office to initiate this process.
- Reapply for the PLUS Loan with a different parent. The new applicant would need to complete his/her own application and MPN.
- Help your student apply for additional unsubsidized loans through the Federal Direct loan program. Students of parents who are denied a PLUS Loan are eligible for these additional loan funds: $4,000 per year for freshmen and sophomores, and $5,000 per year for juniors and seniors. Please contact the Financial Aid Office to initiate this process.
- Help your student apply for alternative loans.

I know this is just kind of an informal thing that everyone wings, BUT how do you make your sloppy joes? Also, what kind of bread/bun do you use with them? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I hope you get lots of replies, we like sloppy joes. I've tried several recipes and winged it, but they like it made with a packet of sloppy joe seasoning best...go figure. I add diced onion, green peppers and sliced black olives. I usually get onion rolls from the grocery store bakery. |
Well just the other day I was told by my fiance that I should make them every night...I'm not sure if I should be flattered or concerned. I usually use one can of the mix, shh, and then add extra brown sugar, ketchup and mustard, worcestershire sauce, and a little red wine vinegar. I use either ground turkey or ground beef. Let it all simmer for as long as you can. I have a recipe for the crockpot, and use that for my extra ingredients. I serve them on toasted portuguese rolls, yum!! If you would like exact measurements and such, let me know I will post the crockpot recipe. |

We enjoy these and it freezes very well - Sloppy Joes 1 ˝ lb of hamburger 2 tbsp vinegar Mix and simmer on low until thickened |
I make a very easy recipe of my mother's: Pick a meat - 3lb piece Combine vinegar and sugar till sugar dissolves then add dijon. Pour over meat and add chili sauce. Crock pot 4 to 6 hours. Remove meat from crockpot and drain fat. Shred and return meat to crockpot. Keep warm until serving. On a busy night I have used leftover cooked chicken which I shred. Combine sauce ingredients and cook for 10-15 minutes on the stove top. Add shredded cooked chicken and cook until heated through. This sauce works well on cooktop with ground beef or turkey. Use 2 lbs of ground meat and 1 medium chopped onion sauteed with some salt and pepper in large skillet. Drain fat from ground beef. Return to pan. Pour sauce over, cover and let simmer low heat on stove till serving. Very simple, versatile and tastes good as well. |
I like that recipe a glop of ketchup. I have recipes similar from my mother. One say's a hunk of butter. Glenda |

My family loves this recipe 1 lb. ground meat |
- Posted by teresa_nc7 (My Page) on Thu, Jan 17, 08 at 8:39
My family loves Spoonburgers: 1 lb Ground Beef Brown meat and onion. Drain off fat if desired. Add other ingredents, Stir over low heat in a skillet for 30 minutes. Serve on buns... May also add garlic to taste. |
I've made this a zillion times and it's excellent! 1-1/2 lbs ground beef 1 envelope Lipton Onion Soup Mix 1 cup water 1 cup ketchup 2 Tbsp firmly packed brown sugar 6 hot dog buns |
This is my mom's recipe and I haven't ever had any better. (I now use ground turkey since I don't eat red meat.) Sloppy Joes 1/2 C diced celery Sauté celery and onion in butter until cooked. Add ground beef. Cook over medium flame until browned. Drain fat. Add all other ingredients. Simmer over low flame for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Serve on bun with several napkins! |

Perfect item for your refrigerator !
By ljg

I've shopped for years for this type egg storage container. This one is good quality, fits AA large eggs (maybe not the huge farm eggs however ?) I have 2 of these, and will buy more for gifts. They are sturdy and I've stacked them on top of each other. So glad to have a CLEAN egg container instead of the store cardboard (who knows where that's been?)Great item.

About Me Senior
Bought this as a birthday gift for a friend who has backyard hens. She was pleased with the design but told me she couldn't fit her jumbo or double yolker eggs (she has large breeds of hens who lay very large eggs). The lid would smash the eggs when closed. After she told me of the problem, I did not order one for myself. Nice design idea but just not tall enough for our hens' big eggs. We recommend this carton but only for holding regular large (not XL) eggs.
Great for my use

About Me Renter
I buy organic eggs from cage-free hens, and they come in recycled cartons, so now I transfer them to my own container which I know is clean. I thought the eggs I get were large, but so far, I haven't had a problem with them fitting.

Not for large eggs
By Nauti-Lady
from Sag Harbor, NY
About Me Avid Cook
This is a great idea that, unfortunately, does not work. I had to cut the top off to use this in the fridge as it is too short for large or jumbo eggs, which is what I buy. If you use small eggs, this would be fine. But with large one, if you close the lid, you smash the eggs. Oh well...
Egg Storage for LITTLE eggs
By Nauti Lady
This was exactly what I was looking for to replace the egg cartons that fall apart. However, you cannot fit any large eggs in this and close. This is made for mini eggs. A complete waste of time if you buy larger eggs.

I have poured concrete basement walls and several of the tie rod holes are leaking.
I was wondering what is the best method of repairing this problem. So far I've heard of using plain hydraulic cement, and also water activated polyurethane. Any suggestions would be appreciated ! |
Follow-Up Postings:
There are a number of polymer modified fillers that can be used. These are the same materials that are used for concrete crack injection. (See link for example.) There are also swell plugs, a though I don't have experience with these. In the old days, the formers used cork covered with asphalt. They worked fine too. Look for a local concrete supply company for the most appropriate products, not the big boxes. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Crack Injection

A commercial roofing supply company probably would have the materials you need. NP1 by Sonolastic would be good. Best if applied on the outside. |

It prepares students for the demands of acollege education by providing experience in college level reading, writing,and independence. Critical reading and advancedwriting skills, along with a willingness to devote considerable time out ofclass, are necessary to succeed. Students can expect to spend about six hoursper week, or more, outside of class on coursework. The AP European History curriculum investigates the broad themes of intellectual,cultural, economic, and political history and how those ideas are reflected intrends of philosophy, popular literature, and the arts. As events in history can only be understoodin terms of their social context, this course will examine demographics and theinfluences of social classes, the idea of the family, and gender roles on history. The course will also focus oneconomic history and the role of industrialization by reviewing the developmentof commercial practices and changing economic structures to recognize Europeaninfluence on the world. APEuropean History is organized on the assumption that students will take theCollege Board AP examination, which allows qualified candidates to receivecollege credit for the course. Whilestudents are not required to take the ap test, it is encouraged. Consequently, there will be a focus onstrengthening skills in taking objective exams, in addition to writing goodexpository essays, and critical reading of historical documents.

Make-Up Work The policy for make-up work in AP European history is consistent with that which ispublished in the RHS handbook which states, "Sometimes students miss class because of illness, death in the immediate family,etc., and prior arrangements cannot be made. In the case of such an excused absence,students will be permitted two school days foreach day of an excused absence to make-up schoolwork missed during the periodof absence." Of course, if there areextenuating circumstances, please speak to me to arrange an appropriatetimeline to complete missing work.

Prime Minister David Cameron and Eastern Daily Press editor Peter Waters at the EDP office in Norwich. Photo: Steve Adams
Sunday, September 11, 2011
Editor Peter Waters got the chance to quiz David Cameron after he dropped in to the EDP headquarters on his visit to Norwich.
Here is an edited verison of the main points of their Q&A session, beginning with the prime minister looking some recent EDP front pages...
DC: The A11 – we've helped out there. Make It Marham – you got that. Broadband – we're supporting you there. Police and crime commissioners? Uhm, we may not agree on that...
PW: Yes, the EDP has been campaigning against the introduction of them. We live in the safest county in the country, so we can't help but think that the idea of directly-elected police and crime commissioners (PCCs) is a broad brush approach to a problem that doesn't exist here in Norfolk. And in belt-tightening times, how can you justify spending over £200m on electing PCCs when our constabulary is having to save £24m in the next three years?
DC: Ask people in Norfolk to name someone accountable for the police and they would be hard pushed. With police commissioners they will be directly electing them so they will know who it is.
They will be the person everyone in Norfolk will know that if 'I'm not happy with my police', that's the person in charge of getting what we want from the police.
The cost of police commissioners will be no more than the cost of the police authorities and there may be opportunities for savings over time.
We did a study and only 7pc of people had actually heard of their police authority. People don't know what the police authority is, haven't heard of the members and don't know what they do. Making one person accountable will work extremely well.
PW: We believe in Norfolk that our chief constable is accountable and the chairman of the police authority, Stephen Bett, is very well known, speaking regularly in the media. If it's not about politics as you've said previously, why are you planning to hold the elections for PCCs in November, when the days are shorter and the turnout will be lower, and not in May as was originally intended? Plus, a low turnout could allow for someone with a more extreme agenda to be elected.
DC: The reason for moving it was to make sure we don't do this in a rush and there is time for people to come forward. Taking time is always sensible and it's good for the first election not to be muddled up with other elections.
I think in the end the public have pretty good sense about who they elect. There are quite strict rules about what police commissioners are and are not allowed to do and there is still operational independence for police chiefs and police forces. The key thing which I think is lacking at the moment is that sense of accountability, and I think having a nominated elected individual that everyone knows is responsible for the policing you get will help.
PW: If you have a situation where the police chief constable is operationally independent, but the elected PCC has the power of hire and fire, surely the chief constable isn't operationally independent? As soon as they clash the police commissioner is going to say, "sorry, you're fired".
DC: There are safeguards in the Bill for exactly this sort of eventuality. It's been managed in London very effectively and been managed up and down the country very effectively. What you don't want is a politician saying "investigate that crime, let off that one". That is interfering with operational independence, that is not right. But making sure the police are accountable for what they do and policing their delivery – is it zero tolerance-based policing? Are they spending enough time thinking about crimes affecting the countryside? Are they going after white collar criminals hard enough? I think it is right that an elected person is able to ask those questions.
PW: We campaigned vigorously against regional development agencies for the simple reason that being part of East Anglia, one of only three net contributors to the Treasury, we were disadvantaged. Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Essex are very affluent, Norfolk and Suffolk are not. So we were very happy when you brought in the Local Enterprise Partnerships. We have our own one for New Anglia – Norfolk and Suffolk – and we feel that we have our own voice now. But what frustrates us is that we don't seem able to get access to Regional Growth Fund money and we don't have assisted area status. All the money seems to be going to the North East and Humberside. Siemens recently chose Hull as the base for their wind turbine plant generating 700 jobs and that was in part due to government incentives.
We have got very deprived areas in places like Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth which are desperate for some help. We will have enterprise zones in those two towns, but there's no government money for them.
DC: It's a very fair point. First of all I'm pleased that you're pleased about having a more focused enterprise partnership and I think it's right. We really didn't want to impose them on areas. We wanted areas to say to us, "actually, the right link up in this case is Norfolk, Suffolk, new Anglia", and I think that's great. The second point – the enterprise zone does mean money in effect because companies that locate there will get massive rate relief and tax relief advantages. I know that area well and I know it needs extra development. The third point about the Regional Growth Fund money I accept. So far it's been disappointing for your region, but there's the second round in the autumn, and there's some very interesting bids as I understand it coming in from this area. There's a separate process for allotting the money but I hope that you have some success. Final point, don't underestimate the importance of broadband, particularly for large, far-flung rural areas like yours. The danger of small businesses being left off the information superhighway in rural areas is very, very great and that's why the government is putting £500m into delivering superfast broadband right across the country and I think this will be hugely important, in particular for Norfolk and Suffolk, which are great business locations, but absolutely need those broadband connections.
And is the government paying attention to this important part of the country? Obviously we have got the A11 decision, the Marham decision and now Norwich is in the Premier League...
PW: Thank you for approving the A11 scheme – the EDP has been campaigning for its full dualling for a long while now. But when is it going to start?
DC: We know it isn't this year but it is in the government's forward plan to start before the next election. We want to start as soon as we can – that will be in the 2012-13 financial year. We're not able to start construction of the scheme earlier as we have to complete the detailed design of the project and carry out further surveys to confirm the extent of the environmental and archaeological works required. There's an awful lot of issues over wildlife and other things, but it is going ahead.
PW: This is, as you appreciate, very much a rural county, and there is a lot of interest in country pursuits. Would you look at repealing the ban on hunting?
DC: It is a matter for the House of Commons. We have always said we will make time available for a free vote and that commitment remains.
PW: Phone hacking is a national scandal, but it's worrying how many of our journalists came back into the office after this whole thing blew up and said: "People are actually asking us about this, whether it's a practice that we are involved in". It's almost: "well, you're all at it, aren't you?" And this isn't the case in the regional press. We live in our communities, and anyone we write about we might have to face in the street the next day. What concerns us is that the government might use this as an opportunity to impose new restrictions on the media. Do you understand the difference, can I ask, between the national media and the regional?
DC: I do completely – and not only do I understand the difference between the national papers that were indulging in this practice and regional papers, but also I think your readers know very well that regional newspapers have a different agenda, a different way of doing business and a different approach. There's a sort of calm and reasonableness to regional papers that you don't always get from national papers. That's not to say you don't fight very strong campaigns, you do, but there's not the same level of hysteria, if I may put it that way. And let me reassure you, I said very clearly at the liaison committee in Parliament this week, the scandal of what has happened must not be used as a sort of bone to relish for MPs to over-regulate the media and get their own back for the expenses scandal. That would be completely wrong. We want a vibrant free media and we particularly want that in our regional papers. It's up to Lord Justice Leveson, who will chair the inquiry, as to what he comes up with, but the sort of independent regulation that will be looked at, I don't think that newspapers that act responsibly have got anything to fear from.
PW: That's good to hear prime minister. I understand you came up to Norfolk by rail today. You probably know from some of our MPs that we have a bit of an issue with our rail link to the capital. National Express are losing the franchise. There will be a short-term franchise holder put in and then a longer term one. It seems fair to surmise that if the short-term franchise holder does a good job they might be awarded the longer term. The short term franchise covers the Olympics and we must absolutely get our rail service running smoothly for that period. If there is one Olympic legacy for Norfolk it will be boosting the tourism industry and part of that will depend on a reliable rail service. With regards to the long-term franchise can you give us any assurance that in handing out the franchise there will be a commitment to investment?
DC: Yes, I can. The whole point of longer-term franchises for rail services is that you can then insist that the franchisee puts more money into services, to platforms and all the rest of it. That is absolutely essential. The rail link between Norfolk and London is vital and, as you say, if you are going to get the legacy benefit you need a faster service. So the point of a franchise is more investment. I think there are big opportunities for the Olympics and let me reassure you we are about to launch a massive campaign to encourage people to visit for the Olympics but also to go on visiting the UK after the Olympics is over. There will be a big advertising promotional campaign. We are also going to be working with hotels to try and co-ordinate great deals to encourage people to bring their families, to come back twice that year and the rest of it. We have a very active tourism minister in John Penrose and perhaps I should send him up here to tell you about it.
PW: He'd be more than welcome. If Visit Great Britain are promoting us to the world, will Norfolk be able to capitalise on that? We want visitors to stay in beautiful Norfolk for the Olympic fortnight and then take their day trip down to Stratford.
DC: Yes, because the key is trying to get people to go to more places outside London. I see this – I have now got this extraordinary house right in the middle of London and London is overwhelmed with tourists, which is great, it's a fantastic city, but I have swum in the sea at Holkham in April and loved seeing some of the beautiful sights you have on the Norfolk Broads and on the Norfolk coast. There's an enormous capacity for tourism and jobs from tourism in this area and I think in Britain as a whole we are not making the most of what we have got. You have got the most extraordinary mixture of culture, heritage, landscape, coastline, but also brilliant rock festivals, musicals, plays and museums. We have still got more Chinese people visiting Germany than Britain now. I'm all for Germans, some of my best friends are Germans, but we can do a lot better.
PW: In terms of capitalising on that, sadly Norfolk is not top-of-mind for visitors coming to this country – the likes of London, Oxford and Bath are. What can we do about that?
DC: I'm a great lover of the Norfolk coast, I think it's a very beautiful part of the world. I now have my holidays in Cornwall, but I have had holidays in Brancaster and places like that.
PW: I think the best bit of PR we could have for Norfolk tourism is to be able to say the prime minister stayed with us in the county for a week. How about it?
DC: I have to be careful I don't have too many holidays. It's a very nice offer and as I say I have had holidays here in the past. Apparently I'm pronouncing 'Stiffkey' wrong. It should be 'Stookey'. I have stayed in the Blakeney hotel, I remember having a very good meal in Wells-next-the-Sea, I have had holidays in Brancaster, learning to play golf on the course there. What else have I done? That's enough. I'm saving up the Norfolk Broads for when my children can swim better. I don't want to lose one overboard!

The EDP has well and truly lost it`s campaign against police commissioners and should now give in gracefully. The editor now has an opportunity to do something positive. He should launch a campaign for a postal vote, in respect of this particular election, for all. That way the vote would be more representative and it would counter his fears about the unfairness, as he sees it, of a November election.

Well I think it's refreshing to see the editor of the EDP taking a pro-active role with the newspaper. I was afraid that this meeting would lead to a 'cosy' friendship between the editor and PM. Judging by the reaction here it seems people believe it was far from it! I would have thought we would learn from the Murdoch scandal and welcome a newspaper that is prepared to disagree with the government. I still believe the EDP have remained far too quiet about NHS reforms with no coverage from Chris Fisher on what took place last week.

Oh dear! Poor Mr Waters. He certainly has been bringing it all down on his own head lately, hasn't he? And I hardly think that he was helped today by Kim Briscoe's final statement in her Comment feature.
Monday, September 12, 2011
Is everything ok at the office? I have not seen one picture of Pete Waters shaking hands or holding a banner with Derrick Murphy, Ian Mackie or David Cameron in four whole days!

Norfolk is in a bit of a pickle. We have a leader at the county council who will not listen to reason and works to his own ends. Plus we have the editor of our main regional newspaper who prefers to boost his own ego and print his own picture with various allegedly important people than make sure his paper is reporting factual, accurate news! Those wanting to see and end to the dictatorship at county hall and democracy return to Norfolk are pretty stuffed!

Cameron has reduced the number of front line police officers under the guise of financial restraint. How does the appointment of a highly paid Commissioner and no doubt a hugely expensive entourage help fight crime and come under the same restraint. It is quite obvious to all, except Cameron and co ,that police actually patrolling on the streets prevents crime. The greatest example is the clean up of New York some years ago. A zero tolerance policy with officers present in numbers worked. The latest riots were a fine example of political policing. Policeman neatly lined up in riot gear watching destruction only yards away. Only when it continued were they allowed to be pro-active and the rioting was quickly stopped. What is behind the Commissioner gimmick remains to be seen. If Cameron is really concerned about the publics opinion and ability to have a real say in matters. A good place to start would be to keep his promise of a EU referendum and the one of getting rid of the Human Rights law.
Monday, September 12, 2011
I suppose that, given the EDP's very obvious stance on the Saddlebow incinerator, it was unlikely that Peter Waters would have asked the PM whether he supported the idea of a waste incineration tax as an incentive to recycling.
Sunday, September 11, 2011
What about the climategate fraud at the UEA, the incinerator, energy prices and wind farms and other matters of importance?
Tuesday, September 13, 2011
I found Mr Cameron's reasons rather unconvincing - almost a case of we have decided so that is it! Has it been disclosed where the candidates for Commissioner will be drawn? - That must be a very material issue? We can choose the candidate for MP - if we belong - so will we have the opportunity to select candidates for Commissioner? And will we really be able to approach himher? The NPA consists of a number of people - and various groups are represented so there are a fair umber of people one can approach. So is the Commissioner going to be the same set up but under different title - and how do we get rid of himher - after all getting rid of an MP once elected is not that straightforward. Could it mean an election?? And will there be appealstribunals etc. Frankly it seems all a bit - no - actually completely unnecessary.
Sunday, September 11, 2011
The recent EDP front page opposing Police Commissioners was farcical. Notwithstanding the point that news should be on the front and views clearly flagged in editorials inside (where they can be read or avoided according to taste), the decision to print pictures of all the NPA members was not just to shoot yourself in the foot - it blew the whole foot off. How many did you recognise? Exactly. Bring on the Commissioners and let's shake the local government careerists and other self-serving worthies out of their complacency. Let's start by getting rid of the 'our priority is you' nonsense and try cutting crime. Oh yes, it's already the safest county. Make it even safer.
Sunday, September 11, 2011
We all now know where the EDP stands on the Incinerator, and the Gifting of the Port of Great Yarmouth to IPH. One sentence from PW to David Cameron regarding the 65,000 people against the Incinerator would have been helpful, but we all know the EDP supports the Tory cabinet in NCC regardless of the Ratepayers views. PW could not talk about the Outer Harbour to Cameron as it was PW's employer that chaired the NCC, GYBC, and the GYPA group that gave all the assets to IPH burdening the Ratepayers with all the liabilities. Not really something the EDP can brag about
Sunday, September 11, 2011
Just as well I know what David Cameron looks like . Otherwise one might mistake him for the press editor of the EDP. The paper version of the EDP recently has had so many pictures of this editor that one wonders whether they have given up their proper job of disseminating news to the people of Norfolk and instead are devoting their efforts to printing pictures of their editor. I have lived all over the world and have read many newspapers and have never come across anything like this. Why doesn't the Board keep him under control and let the newspaer be what it is supposed to be - something that reports news.
Sunday, September 11, 2011
Oh for goodness sake, what ever happened to the Editor reading his own online paper and asking questions accordingly? He's got the 'In Depth' section that should have given him a few clues as to the real issues in Norfolk but chose instead to be romanced by Conservatism and frotter himself senseless against the PM about things that have either been sorted or things he has no direct local control over in some sort of foamy PR arslikahn ... to quote someone from recent history; "Up your hacienda, Peter"!
Sunday, September 11, 2011
I was talking to a dear friend yesterday who was on about Waters and his self publication, we did laugh! Anyway we decided that nowadays the once great EDPs main function appears to be printing press releases and promoting Norfolk County Council rather than going out investigating serious issues that effect the day to day lives of people living in Norfolk. Please remember that Norfolk involves a large area not just Norwich. At the moment a trip to Gt Yarmouth, Gorleston, North Walsham, King's Lynn or Gt Ryburgh could provide ample material, admittedly Cllr Murphy wouldn't be very happy but then who is the paper there to serve?
Tuesday, September 13, 2011
Norfolk has a West too. The incinerator debate is noteable by it's absence in the EDP and in this article. For us there is no bigger concern or worry. Why didn't the EDP raise this on our behalf?
Monday, September 12, 2011
Sounds to me like Mr Waters aspires to be a politician, perhaps he will be the next leader of NCC or is he aiming for a position at Westminster. After all Andy Coulson has left a gapping hole in government as far as media based PR spin is concerned. A position Mr Waters is very well qualified to fulfill.
Sunday, September 11, 2011
I have seen more pictures of News Editor Waters recently than I have of my own family. How's about us having a "Where's the Wally" competition and see who can spot the most pictures of said editor on a weekly basis. Then send them to the Chairman of Archant as I am sure he will want to frame them and place them round his office. As for those of you who want to vote for a Police Commissioner - don't you think Cheerleader Waters and his rugged prop forward Dioxin D. will have already decided who you are going to vote for? Forget it, the relationship between the NCC, the EDP and the local constabulary leaves a lot to be desired as we are all about to find out.
Monday, September 12, 2011
Or the editor is very passionate about where he lives and does not want to see the rash decisions of this government spoil a fine county.
Sunday, September 11, 2011
I think the EDP is right regarding police elections and the PM is completely out of touch with public opinion. It is just a PR stunt and a complete waste of taxpayers money.

Am I Missing Something Here?
Submitted by mwstroberg on Tue, 08/27/2013 - 21:16Newt Gingrich and Glen Beck are now opposing American intervention in Syria. Could it be possible that they are actually thinking a bit and coming around to a liberty standpoint, or are they just the extreme political whores we have always believed them to be and are riding a popular anti-intervention wave? Or is it just that it is an anti-Obama sympathy for them?

No. It is an autocratic regime. Bashir inherited power from his father, Hafez.
The 'elections' in Syria have been rigged for a long time. Just like in Egypt. The Assad family are never out of power in Syria just like Mubarak of Egypt held elections and never lost.
It is a Ba'ath party pan-arab socialist authoritarian regime run by the country's shi'ite alawite minority.
The 'rebels' are imported mercenary and religious extremist fighters (Al Quaeda).
Its like Iraq and all these other middle eastern countries. Best to leave them all alone and try peaceful trade and non-intervention. Otherwise, we will spend money and cause lots of people to die for nothing. If these countries change for the better, it won't happen with outside interference. That only makes the situation worse.

No one here is cheering for either atrocities or war,
Granger (except perhaps for you, who seem intent on killing innocent Syrians). You miss the whole point, which is, that war is never a solution. The only "war" a person of good will could support is a war of defense of the territory of the United States, in response to an unprovoked attack by a foreign power. Such a scenario has historically never occurred to the US. And such a "war", would, in all actuality be an "anti-war" or a defensive action AGAINST war. Thus the correct position is to be against all aggressive warfare.
You are stymied by the logical fallacy that, because people believe killing innocents is always wrong, that they must somehow endorse or cheer for atrocities which could not be (possibly) prevented without initiating atrocities. I recommend you study in depth about principled opposition to the Civil War by libertarian abolitionists 150 years ago, to get a good idea about how people can oppose war on principle, and be totally opposed to the injustices that war would supposedly erase.

Why not peaceful trade?
Rather than having a Petrodollar and gaming the price of oil through all these intervention... we could just buy it at market price. If the market price turns out to be $200 per barrel, then plenty of people will switch to cheaper alternatives.
The market has been injured twice by government. First when it manipulates oil prices and second where it forces all the suppliers to route their supplies through its crony banking system.

"The south was right to fight in defense."
Again, you missed the point. The principled libertarian abolitionists were against the UNION aggressing against the South. I agree with you on that. My point was that these Northern abolitionists were dead set against going to war even if going to war meant the end of slavery. The south was justified in fighting a war of self defense, again, an "anti-war."

Well PHREEDOM
It's a fact that the North had industry on the mind when they started the civil war against the south, which the south was fine.. South was prosperous and the North was full of ghettos and had tremendous problems from too many people with little to do. The line between rich and poor was huge, and the call to end slavery was two fold.. part was because the North saw machinery ending manual slavery and ramping up a war against the Catholic hold in the West, where they claimed the Church was using Indians as slaves.
Did the North have any provisions for the Blacks they wanted to free? had they jobs and schools and homes for them? NO. They freed the Blacks to STARVE, and made us ALL slaves to industry.
It was a socialist bankers war.. and while it kept us out of WWI, it was the grouds to get us into WWII.

All the evidence is that Al Nusra is gassing people. No one elsewhere believes Assad did it. There's news reports all over with evidence the rebels did it. Not many people in the US believe it despite the government media's attempts to convince people.
So Mr Granger why are you supporting a radical Islamic Al Qaeda front to take over the country? You want the terrorists to win I guess.
I support secession anywhere and everywhere, but these guys are gassing their own people. The Syrian people, who don't particularly like Assad are now behind him. What justification does Obama have to go against the 'democratic will' of the Syrian people?

Who took that film? UN can't get in? Who filmed it? Plenty of people who have brains KNOW ASSad did it.

Personally, since Kerry never mentioned war.. all he said is they are talking... but MSM and YouTube , like Russian TV and Press and saying Obama is wanting war.. I think Obama is listening to the American people support Assad.. and so, why should he be like Assad.. it's much easier to be a dictator and tell people, you will have no property, no guns, no nothing... here's your fema camp/ And what will he lose doing that? Americans HATE him already. Their support for Assad gives Obama all the confidense the American people are ready to be taking out.. UN can call those who refuse to comply with the US government terrorists.. Ready?

Museu do Ouro : a formação de um patrimônio como mediador da identidade nacional
Tatiana Harue Dinnouti
Documento (.pdf)
AbstractBrazil from the twentieth century was characterized by a search for its identity, constituted by the state and some modernists. This vision takes shape and starts to influence structural changes in the formation of the Brazilian National Heritage through the creation of SPHAN (Serviço do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional - Office of National Historical and Artistic Heritage). The intention was to rescue and protect buildings and artifacts "characteristics" of Brazil, which would serve to building of the Brazilian identity. But how was the selection made? Who actually did it? The objective of this research is to note the influence of the State and the modernisms groups, studying a specific case - the Gold Museum of Sabará / MG-Brasil – that will enable us to understand how the selection was made and how the Brazilian Heritage was born. Thus, the paper begins with the politic, focusing on education and culture in the Getúlio Vargas government and the Minister Gustavo Capanema. Then put in context the artistic and cultural manifestation from the modernisms groups that seek for Brazilian. After, analyse the works from SPHAN. Accordingly, in the next describes the history of the museum, its formation, its museums and museology. And finally, does the link between those groups that seek for the Brazilian modernism with the formation of Brazilian Heritage, using the case study. It is likely that through this study, in the final considerations, the conformation of the collections of the Brazilian Heritage. The contribution of this research is to allow from today's point of view to update the vision of the past and to think in the future of National heritage.

Ukrainian Borscht
Heartier than the chilled version, this borscht makes for a satisfying dish, thanks to an addition of short ribs.
- Servings: 8
- Yield: Makes 3 quarts
Source: Martha Stewart Living, May 2009
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 pounds short ribs
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 medium onions, diced
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 4 cups homemade or store-bought low-sodium chicken stock
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 celery root, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 2 medium carrots, cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 1/2 pound cabbage, shredded
- 2 pounds beets, scrubbed well, trimmed and coarsely shredded with a box grater
- 5 cups water
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, for garnish
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Heat 1/4 cup oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season ribs with salt and pepper. Working in batches, brown ribs, 3 to 4 minutes per side; set aside.
Add 1 onion, and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring, until softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Return ribs to Dutch oven, and add wine; simmer for 1 minute. Add chicken stock; bring to a simmer, and season with salt and pepper. Cover; transfer to oven, and roast until ribs are tender, 3 hours.
Shred ribs, discarding fat and bones. Strain stock through a sieve, and skim off fat. (You should have 2 cups.)
Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in Dutch oven over medium heat. Add remaining onion and the garlic; cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add celery root and carrots; cook for 4 minutes. Add reserved stock, the cabbage, beets, water, and tomato paste. Cook for 30 minutes. Add meat; cook until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes more. Stir in lemon juice and vinegar; garnish with parsley.

I love borscht and this recipe is delicious! I used dill instead of parsley though. Otherwise, followed the directions and it was time consuming to braise the meat first and shred the beets- but my fiance and I enjoyed it very much so it was worth the wait.
Rozalion 21 Dec, 2010
This was the first time I have ever made Borscht and it turned out great! I was surprised to find that I already had all the winter vegetables required. I used half the amount of meat and instead of cooking the short ribs in the oven, I used a slow cooker. Either way, the meat was cooked and easy to shred. The most time consuming part of the process was the chopping and shredding of vegetables. We loved it as a healthy alternative to heavy

If you're like me, the mornings are a bit busy (I'm out the door by 5:45 am for the day), so the slow cooker makes life easy by cooking dinner for you while you're bringing home the bacon ;-) ).
This recipe is amazing atop of a gluten-free bun with some of my gluten-free slaw salad.
- 2 Purple Onions, sliced
- 1 Apple, shredded or finely chopped
- 1/2 cup Mushrooms, sliced
- 2 Tbsp. Honey
- 2 Tbsp. Dry Mustard Powder or Prepared Mustard
- 1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. Chilli Flakes
- 1 Tbsp. Chicken Stock, gluten-free with 1 cup of water (or 1 cup prepared gluten-free chicken stock)
- 1 Pork Shoulder
Slice the onions, and chop the apple and mushrooms.
In a small bowl, mix the honey, mustard, vinegar, chilli flakes, and chicken stock. Combine well. Add the veggies to the bowl and toss.
NOTE: The prep work to this point you can do the night before, and simply refrigerate the sauce and veggies. Makes prep in the morning as simple as putting the pork and pre-made mix in a slow cooker and turning it on!
Put the pork shoulder in the slow cooker. Pour the veggie and sauce mixture over the pork.
Cook on low for 8-10 hours.
Once cooked, shred with two forks by pulling the pork in opposite direction.
Perfect when served with my dinner rolls and slaw salad!

ALBANY, NY — Despite Mattias Tedenby's two-goal performance, the Albany Devils lost to the Springfield Falcons, 3-2, Tuesday at Times Union Center. The setback ends the Devils franchise-record 10-game home point streak.
Springfield used three goals during the first period to help earn their second victory against the Devils since last Friday. Michael Chaput scored at 2:56 and added a shorthanded tally at 12:53. Darryl Boyce sent the Falcons into the first intermission with a 3-1 advantage thanks to a power-play goal at 15:44.
"That was not a good start for us," Tedenby said. "They scored a shorthanded goal and we should have scored on the chance we had in the beginning of the power play. It would have been a different game because I thought we controlled the game a little bit out there today."
Tedenby, who New Jersey sent to Albany Saturday, scored at 6:22 of the first. Kelly Zajac sprung the Devils winger for his first goal since returning to Albany, making it a 1-1 game.
After the intermission, Zajac found Tedenby in the slot at 15:27. The goal, which also included an assist from Seth Helgeson, was Tedenby's fifth goal in four AHL games this season.
"I thought those two were arguably the best two guys on the ice for both teams tonight," said Head Coach Rick Kowalsky about Tedenby and Zajac. "I thought Tedenby was flying and had a lot of confidence with the puck; hopefully it can continue. I was a little worried about the three of them (plus Artem Demkov) not being the biggest guys against a pretty heavy team, but they use their speed and the way they compete, that's enough."
Keith Kinkaid made 18 saves, including a combined 15 in the second and third period. At the other end, former Devil Mike McKenna made 25 saves.
The Devils owned a 27-21 shot advantage and went 0-4 on the power play and 2-3 on the penalty kill.
"Overall, I was certainly happy with the way we played, we just didn't get the result," Kowalsky said. "I think the biggest thing is right down to the wire; we certainly had opportunities."
These two teams meet again Friday for a 7 pm outing at MassMutual Center. Fans can follow the game online or on mobile devices at ahllive.com. Additionally, the game is available on 104.5 "The Teams" ESPN Radio.


text: Kix has everything you expect from a hard-rock band: Down-and-dirty guitar riffs, a singer capable of high-pitched screams, lyrics about sexy young babes. So how does this quintet manage to rise above the clichés? Perhaps living on the fringes of success has helped keep an edge: After making its debut in 1981 with Kix, the group didn't mine gold until its fourth album, 1988's Blow My Fuse. With No. 5, Hot Wire, the guys still sound like a fresh-faced bar band that's hot to trot. Songs like ''Rock & Roll Overdose'' have the typically beery effervescence that sparks what is otherwise a not terribly original approach. It's to L.A. Guns' credit, meanwhile, that on their second album, Hollywood Vampires, they opt for creativity instead of rehashing the formula that brought them fame. The R&B-influenced ''Here It Comes'' is a welcome left turn away from the straight-shooting rock on the group's gold-selling 1989 album, Cocked and Loaded. But on too many songs, such as ''Some Lie for Love,'' the band hasn't replaced its original punk energy with anything distinctive. L.A. Guns sound like a band that hasn't quite found a new direction.

Unless you work at one of those ID firms lucky or large enough to have an onsite modeling shop, the modelmaking step of the design process is typically where you catch your breath. After hours and days of sketching and drafting, you send the files off and wait for the magic craftsmen to send you back a foam/wood/clay rendition of your design(s).
A new step that could potentially be introduced to this process is SATIN, a sort of robotic spline that "draws" a shape--primitive ones, at this stage--in 3D that a designer can actually feel, and even manipulate to directly alter the 3D file.
[The] system consists of two FCS-HapticMASTER devices, in essence robotic arms more commonly used for remote welding or dental surgery, which position and rotate a robotic spline, an electronic version of the flexible strip of material, typically wood or metal, long used by designers to draw curves. Fitted with actuators and sensors, the spline automatically twists and bends to the shape of a digital representation of the product uploaded by the designer into the system.Standing in front of a workstation and wearing 3D glasses, the designer views, through a set of mirrors, a virtual 3D model of the product superimposed where the spline actually is. By pressing the centre or pushing or pulling the ends of the robotic spline with their hands, the designers can reshape and reform the 3D model. Models can be saved and compared, and any changes made much more quickly and simply than using traditional modelling methods.
...Additional information about the model that cannot be perceived tactilely on the spline, such as discontinuities of a curve or inflection points, is transmitted through audio signals as the designer runs a finger along it.
"Haptic technology is still not advanced enough to provide all of the information about a surface. The SATIN system, for example, can only represent curves. However, we expect improvements in materials and mechanics over the coming years to lead to systems that will allow designers to feel, handle and reshape any kind of object surface," [says researcher Monica Bordegoni, a professor at Politecnico di Milano university in Italy].
Below is a video of Bordegoni explaining the process, and a demonstration of the unit in action. (At an unedited 5:51 in length it's a bit on the dry side; we normally tell you where to fast-forward to but this one's got the good bits scattered throughout.)
