State officials worried if shutdown drags onCOLCHESTER Hundreds of Vermont National Guard members are back on the job after several days of being furloughed, but Gov. Peter Shumlin and other state officials warned Monday that the continuing shutdown of the federal government will cause increasing problems for Vermont the longer it goes on.
Washington remains largely defunct with no plausible end to the funding stalemate in Congress in sight. Congressional Democrats remain united in their efforts to keep Republicans from using the budget and the impending debt ceiling limit to defund or delay federal health care reform.
Shumlin said Monday that he remains behind his fellow Democrats in their effort to thwart the intentions of conservative Republicans in the House.
Theyve lost that battle. I think Vermonters feel strongly that its now time to take Obamacare and make it work, improve it, help serve Vermonters who desperately need affordable health care, Shumlin, flanked by members of his administration, said at a joint press conference with the Vermont National Guard at Camp Johnson.
The week-old senseless shutdown of the federal government is impacting Vermont is several ways, Shumlin said, and the financial impact on the state will grow worse over time.
Ive had conversations with other governors and the White House and every day that this shutdown continues is going to continue to have a more devastating affect on Vermonters, on job creation and on our ability to run the National Guard, he said.
About 5,000 federal employees in Vermont are dealing with reduced hours or indefinite furloughs, the governor said.
Many of them live paycheck to paycheck, he said. This is putting huge hardship on the hardworking federal employees, particularly the National Guard, who already make a huge financial sacrifice to serve us.
Major Gen. Steven Cray said about 450 Vermont National Guard members were back on the job after being furloughed for several days last week. But the Guard remains limited in its activities and cannot complete training exercises, he said.
Let me be clear that this does not get the Vermont National Guard out of the woods. It does get our technicians and most of our full-time workforce back to work. But what it doesnt allow us to do with the continued shutdown is there is no money to do any of the training. We dont have money to buy parts, we dont have any money to buy fuel, ammunition or any of those things that we need to do to train for our jobs, Cray said. That readiness level will continue to drop every day that we are not back to work and able to train.
A scheduled drill involving as many as 3,000 soldiers was canceled over the weekend.
Without supplies, without equipment, without fuel, without the training and readiness they need, there isnt much for them to do once they get here. So, its crippling our National Guards ability to do what they do best, Shumlin said.
Meanwhile, the shutdown is delaying the processing of Small Business Administration loans that businesses rely on, as well as the processing of benefits for seniors. Social Security checks are continuing and Veterans Administration hospitals and clinics remain open, but seniors and veterans applying for new benefits may see delays, according to Shumlin.
Depending on funding cycles, some Head Start programs may have to stop operating next month when federal funding is no longer available.
Those are our most vulnerable kids who we are trying to give a good start to, Shumlin said.
Additionally, Shumlin said Vermonters will also be impacted by:
Closure of federal offices that handle housing matters, including rental subsidies that help about 14,000 low-income Vermonters;
Closed federal lands during hunting seasons;
The halting of many U.S. Department of Agriculture programs that provide farm loans, market assistance loans, disaster assistance programs and grants for research, education, and extension services.
Secretary of Administration Jeb Spaulding said state officials drew down as much federal funding as possible before the shutdown.
At the state level, we can cover most of the temporary loss of federal funds, Spaulding said. In the short run we can cover the benefits programs.
But much of the federal funding for assistance programs in Vermont will run out at the end of the month. The state will also need to begin providing payments for low-income heating assistance the first week of November, Spaulding said.
We dont have the ability to draw down those federal funds right now. Thats in the ballpark of $17 million. We dont have the capacity to backfill that, he said of the heating program. If this drags on its going to move from disruption to inconvenience and pain for a smaller number of Vermonters to a big time, hurtful problem for Vermonters.
The Temporary Assistance to Needy Families program, which helps about 16,000 residents including 10,000 children, will run out of funding after Nov. 1, said David Yacavone, commissioner of the Department of Children and Families. The states food stamp program, 3SquaresVT, which serves about 100,000 Vermonters, will experience similar problems, he said.
The process of providing benefits begins about 10 days before the start of a new month, however. So the shutdown must end by mid-October to ensure benefits continue, Yacavone said.
Unemployment claims in the state doubled last week because of the shutdown, according to Labor Commissioner Annie Noonan. She said 438 federal employees filed for unemployment benefits, as well as a smaller number of Vermonters who work for companies that do business with the federal government.
We havent seen a spike like that. Our normal initial weekly claims is usually under 200, Noonan said.
Democratic Rep. Peter Welch, Vermonts lone member in the U.S. House, told reporters at his own press conference Monday that about 80 conservatives in the House are using nuclear tactics in their attempt to stop health care reform.
This battle right now is not about the budget, Welch said. Theyve actually had an immense amount of success on their budget figure. What they havent had success on is defunding the health care bill, and thats the explicit goal of the Tea Party wing in the House of Representatives, Welch said.
The Senates budget figure is $240 billion less than President Barack Obama proposed, Welch said. And its only about $20 billion more than a GOP proposal.
A majority exists in the House to pass a so-called clean resolution to fund the government without additional strings attached, according to Welch. House Speaker John Boehner will not allow that to come to a vote, though, Welch said.
Hes suggesting in recent articles today that he doesnt have the votes to pass it. Im confident he does. All the Democrats have indicated theyd support turning the lights back on by passing the Senate budget. A number of Republicans have indicated that, Welch said. If the speaker put that on I think wed have government lights back on in 20 minutes.
A small number of Republicans are now looking to tie health care reform funds to the debt ceiling the amount of money the federal government can borrow to pay its existing bills. Officials say the limit must be raised before Oct. 17 in order to prevent the country from defaulting on loans.
Vermont state and federal elected officials say allowing the country to default would result in a disastrous outcome for the economy.
For the most extraordinary democracy in the world to be behaving like some kind of developing nation is an extraordinary thing to see as a governor. Lets stop. Enough is enough. This is not time for politics. It is time for rational policy. This crisis will deepen significantly if the debt ceiling is in fact tampered with on Oct. 17, Shumlin said.
Spaulding said the economy is already at risk because the government is even discussing the possibility of defaulting. The federal governments credit rating was downgraded last year because of similar talks.
Just the discussion of a default is serious business, Spaulding said. Just having these conversations puts a serious hurt on our economy and on our path to recovery.
Welch said he believes the fiscal crisis on the horizon will be avoided.
Theres a lot of Republicans that know this is a dead end strategy. Its not like you have to go deep into outlier Republicans, he said. This is a situation where Speaker Boehner has a tough situation but a simple choice: Is he going to let the Tea Party control the outcome or is he going to do what hes done in the past, put legislation on the floor that can pass with a significant Democratic vote and some moderate Republicans?

This is the information I have pieced together about Rev. Adam KLINEFELTER buried in Klinefelter Cemetery in Green Township of Summit County, Ohio. He was probably born 1796 in York County, Pennsylvania. He married Margaret DILLMAN 2 Aug 1825 in Stark County, OH (b. ca 1805 PA, d. 1 Jun 1879 OH), d/o Conrad and Mary Elizabeth BINDNAGEL. Children were: Catherine b. 19 Dec 1833 OH, m. Mr. BOWMAN, d. 21 Jul 1909, bur. Klinefleter's Amos b. ca 1835 OH Simon b. 20 Dec 1840 OH, d. 23 Jan 1917 OH, bur. Klinefelter's William b. ca 1843 OH Elizabeth b. Mar 1845 OH, m. Jacob John LONG 19 Nov 1868 Summit Co, family moved to Iowa Levi b. 1849 OH There may have been other children who died young--Joel, Amelia, Joseph and Mary, all buried at Klinefelter's but not found in any census with Adam. Adam was an Evangelical Church minister from 1817-1830. He became a farmer at that point. His cause of death was palsy. I'd be happy to share my sources with anyone who is interested, and I am very interested in any additional information about this family. Notify Administrator about this message?

Ski King 2 (DOS)
100 point score based on reviews from various critics. 3.4
5 point score based on user ratings. |
Ski King 2 is a downhill ski game and sequel to Ski King. You have to race as quickly as possible down the hill and at the same time avoid all of the obstacles in the hill. The trees from the first game are not the only obstacles, there are rocks, water and billboards too. And to make the game more interesting jumps has been added. There are two game modes: Pro hill and Endless. In Pro hill mode there are 50 hills and for every 10 hills you get past you get an extra life. In endless mode you just ski for as long as you can. The hills are generated randomly so no race is the same.Screenshots

The words may as well have been coming directly from Bethesda. It felt like the company was challenging me, daring me to write anything negative about their new sequel to Black Isle's classic RPG series. I was very skeptical of whether the company could match the tone and content of the original titles. As good as Bethesda is, the bar was set very high ten years ago.
But based on what I just played--and I had free reign to explore the world at whim--I came away feeling good about the game. Fallout 3 is not Fallout 2.5, and that can be a little disappointing at first, no matter how irrational of a feeling that is. But Fallout 3 is undoubtedly shaping up to be a solid game in its own right, and one that clearly takes many significant cues from the previous titles--from the opening scene, to the wonderfully realized PIPBoy menu. Oblivion: Fallout 3 this is not.
The first thing I wanted to hit with my hands-on time was a load of conversations. Dialogue is half of what made Fallout so engaging--the freedom to piss off and be pissed on by any number of disgruntled apocalyptic survivors spawned most of my favorite Fallout memories.After wandering out of the Vault, through the traditional cave--no rats to be found--and out across the wasteland, I managed to locate the town of Megaton rather quickly. Greeting me outside was a tall 50s-style robot, waving its stiff arms toward the town in greeting. Upon entering the town, Sheriff Lucas Sims gave me a gruff hello, and I engaged him in verbal combat.
The most encouraging aspect of Fallout 3's dialogue is the number of options available. Oblivion's simple approach to dialogue trees would not suffice here, and as a result, I often had up to five or six options at any given time. With the Sheriff, I had enough choices to easily pick a fight with him, and did so immediately. Bad idea.
After reloading the game, I had a long chat with my murderer. The dialogue engine is indeed reminiscent of Oblivion, but after noticing this, I never gave it a second thought. Instead, I was focused on learning about the town, looking for quests, and more typical Fallout goals.
Overall I would say that the demo area dialogue clearly eclipsed Oblivion's writing, but did not quite match the effectiveness of Fallout. There was certainly an edge to it all, as evidenced by the wanton use of vulgar language and themes--see the opening quote from the Sheriff. A few mildly humorous moments were produced by said vulgarity. But none of the characters caught me off guard or engaged me in the same way that Fallout did, and the voice acting was sometimes rather wooden.It was a short demo, and an early area, and the game is not finished, so I can not judge it based on this first taste. Suffice it to say, the tone of dialogue was close, but not right on. I was entertained, but not surprised.
Before leaving Megaton, I decided to simply walk up and shoot a random villager. Another bad idea, but this time I was ready to fight. The tactical combat--now dubbed the Vault-tec Assisted Targeting System, or VATS--is all optional now. A pull of the right bumper engages the VATS system with the familiar servo noise of the original games. After allocating your Action Points to various body parts, each shot or swing plays out in slow motion, the violence captured from various angles. The game then switches back to real-time, and your Action Points slowly recover.
The system itself works well, and is certainly fun to use. But rather than a continuation of traditional Fallout combat, think of it more like tactical bullet-time. As there is no way to leave the tactical system toggled on, I usually found it more natural and expedient to simply play the game in real-time, rather than running away until my AP recovered and repeatedly pulling the bumper. I used it more as a way to slow down combat when I was in trouble, or to pick off enemies in the distance. It is less of a mode, and more of a situational tool.
Leaving Megaton, I walked down a cracked and crumbling D.C. street, admiring the desolate environment. In this case, Bethesda did blow me away. Though a lack of life or major landmarks is a classic sign of lazy video game design, Fallout 3's wasteland is appropriate in its barren nature. In fact, it's the first 3D post-apocalyptic game to really make me feel like I was in an area where a nuclear bomb had gone off. It was perfectly alien, and the massive viewing distance effectively gave one the sense that there would be no escape from this hellish world.
I decided to set out in one direction, exploring anything I came across. At one point I encountered a decaying school, the brilliantly textured marquee reading "Springfield Elementary." Upon entering the small school I began to scavenge for items, stopping here and there to pick up Stimpaks and Radaways. Just picking up items like Radaways felt good. Some crazed mutants soon appeared, and I was forced to kill them. On my way out I encountered a room of the school that held a giant cage, with several dead bodies hanging above it, like something out of Silent Hill. After seeing this, I quickly made my exit.
In short, this is not your father's Fallout. Some things are better, some things may not live up to expectations, and many things have stayed the same. I'll try to update this post later tonight with additional impressions of what I saw later on in my demo, including the excellent PIPBoy menu, the perk system, and other random bits of information.

Hi: 9° Lo:3°
PEOPLE in the Vale can invest in their own little love nest this Valentine's Day and show just how much they care for the county's feathered friends.
Worcestershire Wildlife Trust run a Rent-a-Nest scheme which staff believe will make the perfect romantic present for people to demonstrate their love for a special Valentine.
By renting a nest they will also be doing their bit to give a helping hand to woodland birds.
Becky Bradshaw-King, co-ordinator of the scheme, said: "Spring is almost in the air and it won't be long before birds are looking for a suitable place to cosy up together before raising a family this year. As our woodlands and other wild places with natural nesting sites for birds have been damaged and destroyed, this is a great opportunity to help our local wildlife."
The Trust puts up nest boxes in four woodlands around the county and these are rented out on an annual basis.
For £10 Rent-a-Nest leaseholders are provided with a certificate, an annual report about what used the box and an invite to visit the box with the warden in the spring.
The boxes can be rented at The Knapp & Papermill, near Leigh Sinton, Lower Smite Farm, near Worcester, Knowles Coppice, near Bewdley and Tiddesley Wood in Pershore.
Anyone wishing to purchase a Rent-a-Nest lease can do so at www.worcswildlifetrust.co.uk/shop or over the phone on 01905 754919.

Magical Oceanfront Home
We had such a fantastic stay! The house was spotless and had all the amenities you could ask for, and more that weren't even listed - a free massage, gift certificate to the general store, etc. The housing managers, Peter and Holly, took care of the internet issues (due to a big storm the first night) quickly and were flexible about our checkout time. We took some of their suggestions on restaurants and local music and had a great time.
The snorkeling in front of the house is incredible - tons of sea turtles, fish of all kinds, urchins and coral. Our other favorite activities included horseback riding through the Valley of the Kings, attending the Waimea Ocean Film Festival, and sampling fish tacos from everywhere possible. We can't wait to come back for another visit!
Joy abounds from this amazing venue, great staff!
We could not have imagined a more beautiful place to gather to celebrate life, family, friendship and the marriage of our daughter. Joy and peace seem to emanate from the magnificent wood that speaks from the spirit of old Hawaii mixed with a Balinese feel. We used all of the amenities: pool, sauna, spa, snorkel and paddle-board and saw mantas and whales around the bay.
Beautifully stocked kitchen with walk-in fridge was a dream for us to cook and serve our 50 guests. The first-aid drawer for pets as well as their care-givers is just a glimpse of the extraordinary care given to details. The maintenance and care provided by Cookie and Rosie was superb and they worked overtime to clean up after the storm for us. Easy overflow parking is available at the Sheraton across the street.
The property has a fascinating history, with interesting furnishings. This is a highly recommended, very special experience. Photos simply cannot due justice to his magnificent venue which exceeded all of our expectations in every way. Lifetime memories were made and we already yearn to return. Thank you.

Philips and Jamie Oliver team up for HomeCooker launch
Philips has brought in Jamie Oliver to front a campaign for its HomeCooker kitchen appliance, to appeal to mums.
Jamie Oliver: fronts HomeCooker launch
The HomeCooker stirs, steams, sautés, cooks and keeps food warm. It has been developed as a partnership between Philips and Oliver.
The tie-up is the first time that Philips has worked with the TV celebrity chef.
The digital elements of the campaign include films of "mums' favourite" Oliver demonstrating the product with a number or recipes and cookalongs with parents showing the product's ease of use.
The creative is focused around the idea that the Homecooker will enable mums to cook from fresh and "stay fresh" and is primarily a digital campaign because mums are the most active users online.
Philips has partnered with Allrecipes.com for the campaign, to provide content for activity by developing HomeCooker recipes specific to each local market.
Content will be hosted on a microsite and also feature on the brand's Facebook page and Philips has brought in a mum in order to do community management on the Facebook page.
Iris created the campaign that will also include press and retail activity and position the HomeCooker as "an extra pair of hands in the kitchen".
Philips claims the project is the beginning of a long-term strategic partnership between Philips and Oliver' company.
Thijs Hoogenboom, global campaign manager for Philips kitchen appliances, said "creating locally relevant and engaging content" is a key part to the product's launch strategy.
Amy Bryson, board director at Iris Worldwide, added: "It is important for global brands these days to keep innovation at their core as they are being challenged by so many smaller companies."
The product launches in the UK, Germany and Australia this week, with further markets to follow in the new year.

Lehman Brothers Holdings
Lehman Brothers, the investment bank once known for its bond trading and internal warfare, is grabbing share in mergers advice and rapidly expanding its global reach. The new House of Lehman has deftly taken advantage of the huge demand for fixed-income securities from companies and traders, rolling out everything from securitized Japanese residential mortgages to student loans while beefing up its stable of bonds. At the same time, it's hiring more bankers to gather strength for a deal offensive. The strategy is working. Lehman is a co-investor in the largest buyout ever, the bid for TXU, and was an underwriter for the first IPO of a hedge fund, Fortress Investment Group. Now CEO Richard Fuld wants to keep ramping up Lehman's investment management business, buying stakes in hedge funds like D.E. Shaw. He's also sharpening the firm's investment banking prowess overseas.

In latest Hollywood hook-up news, Dancing With The Stars, Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Supermodel Kate Upton have confirmed they're a couple. Sources say they started out as friends, but love and chemistry was inevitable. But will this last?
Share a free sample Sexual Soul Mates Reading. This hot and steamy reading for two will help you uncover your deepest desires and enhance your connection as a couple.
Maksim is a double Capricorn (Sun and Moon). Kate is a Gemini with a Libra Moon. These signs do not bode well with each other, as their Moons clash. Maksim is more about tradition and status, while Kate is much more adventurous and easygoing than him. Plus, their love planets are not in sync, as Maksim has Earth and Water elements and Kate is Air and Fire. Sure, it could work out if they focus all their attention onto their relationship, but in the long run their differences and schedules will lead to a natural end, and it will most likely be Kate who bails first.

Here's What Facebook Sends the Cops In Response To a Subpoena 153
from the your-dna-in-a-box dept.
Want to read Slashdot from your mobile device? Point it at m.slashdot.org and keep reading!
Or really anyone he befriended on facebook.
The girlfriend might have been basically screwed on the deal no matter what, since as his girlfriend some of her information might have been out there anyway.
It does seem like the article in question is very perturbed by the way the police released the info though, and didn't sanitize everything, leaving reporters to do it, who may not have realized that people can be linked via their unique facebook id's in the URL string etc. I suppose that's a good argument for an addendum to the facebook legal document pile, that if you release this information, the following other information should be redacted so as to not endanger the privacy of people not covered by the existing request.
to a formal subpoena?
Is this the same data people get when the request a DVD (under EU laws)? Because if it is, then I'm having a hard time imagining what the problem is... It's basically everything the user has posted on the site + their IP address/last login.
Were people really surprised that the stuff they stored on Facebook was stored on Facebook?
Not if your friend essentially releases that information (by committing crimes, then committing suicide). You've got to chose your friends well - even your Facebook friends.
I've got a screenshot of Clayton Weatherston's Facebook main page. He's a narcissistic economics tutor who stabbed his girlfriend to death and her mother tried to get into the room - on his birthday.
The year afterwards, there were still people wishing him happy birthday, oblivious to the fact that this guy was in police custody awaiting trial for a very well publicised and terrible murder. That's what Facebook friends are like.
There were two med students I knew who still had him friended - they didn't even know how they knew him. They were clueless that their name was associated with one of the most hated people in NZ.
When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle. - Edmund Burke

Profits Down at Xerox
By Alex Crichton
Some mixed news from Xerox today.
Fourth quarter revenues were up slightly from a year ago, but profits were down as sales in the company's technology business fell 8 percent.
For the entire year, revenues were relatively flat at 22.4-billion dollars, and earnings declined 8 percent to 1.22-billion dollars.
CEO Ursula Burns says in 2012 Xerox refined its business model, and that progress has her optimistic about the year ahead.
Burns told investors she's confident Xerox will deliver a strong 2013.
Fourth quarter revenue in services totaled 3.05 million dollars, up 7 percent from a year ago.
Burns told investors this morning that services now represent 52 percent of the company's total revenue, up from 48 percent a year ago.

How well does wine keep in crown cap or flip top beer bottles?
I've done this a few times and kept them for a few months with no problems.
Looks like crow caps are definitely okay From JancisRobinson.com, for people who love good wine
That is my usual choice for bottling wines and meads. A 12oz bottle of wine is a nice size for having in the evening. A 750ml is just too big for one sitting. Bottle caps seal well and work just fine. The only problem is how other may perceive your wine. Craig
I can't take credit for this, but I asked the same question a few weeks ago and my pal Revvy said - "just call them splitz and you'll be uber trendy!"

Holiday Time
Putting the sexy back into a tired old Senor Pico, who let's face it, had started to look a little like grandpa Pico, was not something to be taken lightly by The Rembrandt Hotel, on Sukhumvit Soi 18, Bangkok. This multi-award-winning restaurant, although still serving up great food, was in need of a renovation and a look to bring it up to par with the deluge of newer Mexican restaurants, encroaching on Bangkok.
So serious was The Rembrandt about updating Senor Pico that they invested over 30 million baht into the venture, and the old man received some nips, tucks and total facelift, to becompletely rejuvenated into an attractive and vibrant contemporary location for south of the border eats and drinks. For all intents and purposes, Senor Pico could well be a brand new venue, as only the name and location remain the same - even the logo has been made-over and the signature man in the sombrero is looking pretty gangster! The restaurant is entirely rethought, for modern Mexican cuisine and a lively tequila bar.
There is a whole new range of furniture and fittings, with recessed backlit sombrero-shaped decorative alcoves next to diner-style booths either side of a larger dancefloor, facing the stage, where the original trusty Cuban band 'Facinaci{aac}on' still plays nightly, except on Mondays. There is a different layout of the main dining tables, which can be easily adapted to larger and smaller parties and celebrations, plus a new bar located next to the entrance with high bar stools, for those looking to work their way through the extensive tequila and cocktail menu. Be warned, however, that this ought to take a number of repeat visits, since they have a colossal 50 different tequila options and many types of margaritas, as well as mojitos and the like. Another convenient feature is the direct access to the open terrace too.
Along with the new fittings, fixtures and finishes, ceiling de{aac}cor and upgraded sound and lighting system, the food and drinks also come served in a whole new set of crockery and glasses. The colourful food contrasts beautifully against the white plates and the glasses will have you believing you may have already had one too many, even if you're just drinking virgin cocktails! The long glasses and short tumblers are all playfully set to 10 degree angles and as you first place them down with a confused look on your face, the wait-staff, decked out in their new uniforms, with a big grin, ask: "Are you drunk already?"
If you want a level glass, then opt for one of the delicious fruit or coconut margaritas (260THB) on offer, with or without alcohol. A must-try is the El Hacienda Margarita, with 'El Jimador 100% de Agave Reposado', soured with fresh lime and sweetened with Cointreau (250THB). A fun favourite is sure to be the El Grande Margarita, where your preferred flavour comes in a gigantic long-stem cocktail glass for 3-4 people to share.
Saving the best for last, Senor Pico has a brand new Mexican Chef Fernando Reyes Barba, since the beginning of November. Chef Fernando is a very friendly, thick-accented smiling addition to the Senor Pico team, and has come up with a new menu, befitting a more contemporary eatery.
The touch of authenticity he adds does not disappoint, as his menu is bursting with flavour. Relaunched late November, another new feature of Senor Pico is the open show-kitchen, where chef and his team are hard at work, packing your dishes with fabulous Mexican herbs, spices and chillis. Chef Fernando has been sourcing the right ingredients to complement his combinations, and also promises changing specials, in addition to the regular menu, for more delights from his culinary arsenal to carry the Senor Pico brand well into the future.
With everything on the menu sounding delicious, you will need a few pointers of what to try on your first time round, as it simply is not humanly possible to taste everything in one visit. For culinary showmanship, be sure to order the 'Guacamole en Molcajete', freshly prepared tableside and served with fresh corn tortillas (250 THB). The chefs are fast, so pay attention if you want to pick up tips, to recreate this at home. For another tasty appetiser, select the 'Pinchos De Camarones', which translates to skewered grilled prawns topped with chopped garlic, coriander and jalapenos (395THB), or to try a little of many, there is also the 'Fiesta de Botanas', presenting the cheese quesadilla, buffalo chicken wings, beef taquitos, bolas de queso con chiles andguacamole (595 THB). This is ideal for the indecisive or if your eyes are bigger than your belly, but make sure you share!
Remember the mains are coming, and you should definitely take a gander at the 'Enchiladas Suizas de Pollo', shredded chicken-filled corn tortillas, baked in a roasted tomatillo and jalapeno salsa, topped with sour cream, cheese, onions and cilantro (350THB). The 'Burrito de Langosta', a large flour tortilla filled with grilled rock lobster, refried black beans and herb-marinated green rice (595THB), is not for the small appetite, but so delectable that you'll doggy-bag any leftovers you may not be able to finish. Prawn Tacos(450 THB) are a lighter option, with a choice of soft flour or corn tortillas, onions, cilantro and salsa. Should you prefer your meat just red, then all of the above come with different fillings, and the 'Espetadas' are made with 120g of grain-fed US sirloin (650 THB). This has a Latin-style garlic, salt and bay leaf rub, cooked over a char-grill and carved tableside. However,if you have to have it all again, then definitely opt for the 'Fajitas Supreme', beef, chicken and prawns are served with pico de gallo, refried pinto beans and flour tortillas (595 THB). Vegetarians need not go hungry either, as there are plenty of other selections, with cheese, tomatoes, roasted mushrooms or grilled vegetables.
Whatever you do, though, do make room for dessert. There are plenty of flavours of homemade ice cream and sorbet, as well as a 'Flan de Coco', served with pineapple sabayon and pineapple crisp (195THB). No sense of dessert guilt? Then try the 'Helado Frito', deep-fried ice cream, coated in cinnamon cornflakes, banana salsa and dowsed with a Kahlua chocolate sauce (195 THB). My top pick for dessert has to be the flourless chocolate truffle cake, infused with chilliancho (195THB), 'Pastel de Chocolate y Chile Ancho'. Chef created this particular dessert when trying to come up with a sweet treat for his food-picky daughter, and it was a big hit with her, as it will be for any self-respecting chocolate lover.
Senor Pico is back with a vengeance and is open daily on the first floor of the Rembrandt Hotel, from 5pm - 1am. Reservations can be made on 02 261 7100 ext. 7550

[IMAGE]TriMetCivicDriveMAXWEB2-2.jpg[/IMAGE] On Wednesday, TriMet and its regional partners opened the new Civic Drive MAX Station along the MAX Blue Line in Gresham, marking the 85th along the 52-mile MAX light rail system.
Plans for the station had been in the works since 1997 as the Gresham Civic Neighborhood developed. TriMet and Metro committed to building the station once there was enough density to support it. The 130-acre Civic Neighborhood site was formerly a mill.
"It's exciting to see a new MAX station and crossing improvements in the heart of this growing Gresham community," said TriMet GM Neil McFarlane. "It provides easy access to students at the Center for Advanced Learning, as well as TriMet riders who live, shop and work in the area."
The $3 million station was funded with $1.2 million from the Federal Transit Administration and $1.8 million from Oregon Metro.
"The Civic Drive MAX station will be at the heart of Gresham's Civic Neighborhood," said Metro Councilor Rod Park, whose district encompasses the Gresham area. "The station is part of a larger vision for a vibrant transit-and pedestrian-friendly neighborhood, where residents have a variety of housing and transportation choices, and where a full range of businesses can locate."
The city of Gresham will contribute $600,000 for a future plaza adjacent to the MAX station that will also serve as a pedestrian connection between the station and future development.
The new station includes pedestrian crossing improvements, new shelters, ticket vending machines, security cameras and interactive public art.

Transportation fills long-empty CIO post
By Dipka Bhambhani
Mar 07, 2003
The Transportation Department today named Daniel Matthews as its new CIO, filling a post that has been manned on an interim basis for more than two years.
Matthews said he plans to keep the department's infrastructure and e-government initiatives a priority.
'Our efforts to strengthen the security of the department's critical infrastructure must remain a primary focus,' he said. 'At the same time, we see a great opportunity to assist the public's interface with DOT through enhancing the department's e-government initiatives in areas such as the Business One-Stop.'
Matthews succeeds George Molaski, who left in January 2001. Eugene 'Kim' Taylor had been acting CIO.
Transportation spokesman Bill Mosely said the official position was vacant for so long because the department had simply not found 'the right person.'
Matthews had been a senior vice president for Savantage Financial Services of Rockville, Md. Before that, he spent 22 years at Lockheed Martin Corp., previously Martin Marietta Corp., where was a vice president.
'Dan's more than 30 years of experience in information technology will be invaluable to the department as we continue to enhance the efficiency and security of our information systems,' Transportation secretary Norman Mineta said in a statement.
Dan Mehan, CIO of the Federal Aviation Administration, said he agrees with Matthews' plan to focus on cybersecurity. He said he plans to work closely with him on FAA's security projects.
'With e-gov, cybersecurity and IT capital planning as important efforts for us, we expect the teaming to continue to achieve significant results for the FAA and DOT," Mehan said.

Tata Nano, other Indian cars fail crash tests: safety body
NEW DELHI (AFP) - The Tata Nano, billed as the world's cheapest car, and a host of other top-selling small models from India have failed their first independent crash tests, a global safety group said Friday.
The five entry-level vehicles - including the country's best-selling small car the Suzuki-Maruti Alto 800, as well as the Ford Figo, the Hyundai i10 and the Volkswagen Polo - scored no stars out of five for protection.
The tests, carried out by the New Car Assessment Programme (NCAP), saw the basic models, all without airbags, driven at 64 kilometres an hour into a block simulating a head-on collision.
The secretary general of Global NCAP called them "gratuitously dangerous" and blamed lax regulation which created an incentive to make cheap but structurally unsound vehicles for India's accident-prone roads.

I am responding to my own post, as an update to possibly help others on what I've learned. "Ollie" DeLoach was Eugene Olliff DeLoach, born about 1913. Had a brother named James Gordon and sister named Helen Mae. His father was Eugene K. DeLoach and mother was Annie Mae (Olliff) born 28 Dec 1890 in GA. Seems most of these events were tied to Bullock (Bulloch) County GA. They are listed in the 1920 and 1930 Fed census. In the 1920 census they were in Columbia SC and in 1930 they were in Hollywood FL. In 1935, Eugene K. DeLoach was elected to the city commission in Hollywood FL. I have a few more bits and pieces if anyone is interested. Regards, Steve Notify Administrator about this message?

Gibson Guitar Defies Obama: Uses Wood Confiscated By DOJ To Produce Special Government Series Guitar
In what has now become a regular occurrence, the Obama administration used the power of the state to punish its political foes at Gibson Guitar. Now, Gibson Guitar is striking back.
In 2009: Gibson Guitar: came under attack: by the the Obama Justice Department for accusations that the company broke:
American: Indian laws.: Henry Juszkiewicz, the CEO of Gibson Guitars, Inc.,: said: the government: suggested: that the company's use of unfinished wood from India was illegal, not because of U.S. law, but because of the Justice Department's interpretation of a law in India. : What raised many eyebrows about the confiscation was that the countries involved, India and Madagascar, indicated that they were not interested in pursuing the matter when contacted by the: Department of Justice. : The company's real crime was that they donated to Republican candidates and not to Obama.As the: American Thinker: reported : After: spending nearly two and half million dollars in legal fees: and: paying a $300,000 fine, the government has settled with Gibson and has finally returned the confiscated tonewood. Normally that would be the end of the story, with a victory scored for partisan government bullying of political opponents, however, that is not the end.
Gibson took that wood and made it into the: Government Series II Les Paul.
Gibson Guituar used the wood to make its Government Series II Les Paul — Complete with an American Eagle stamp.
Great Gibson electric guitars have long been a means of fighting the establishment,: so when the powers that be confiscated stocks of tonewoods from the Gibson factory in Nashville–only to return them once there was a resolution and the investigation ended–it was an event worth celebrating. Introducing the Government Series II Les Paul, a striking new guitar from Gibson USA for 2014 that suitably marks this infamous time in Gibson's history.
It may be time to purchase that new guitar you've been wanting?
It is unjust that Gibson Guitar and its employees faced a politically motivated prosecution at the hands of the Obama Administration in the first place, but at least it didn't break their spirits. Hopefully, they'll sell enough of these guitars to make up for the damage the Obama Administration did to them. Whether they do or don't, if we can put a Republican President in the White House in 2016, he should see to it that fine is returned to Gibson Guitars.

Sticky, thick mess that didn't spread
I purchased the color "Lava". The color is gorgeous, but it's so thick that it didn't spread, it just clumped up in one spot. It pulled in a sting as you moved the applicator. It's like that 4 year old polish you found in the back of your makeup drawer. I really would have loved it had it not have been so thick and sticky.

Good coverage, like their Chrome Shine products
I really liked their previous Chrome Shine polishes and I was sad to see them go. Happily, this one is like those, but with a smaller bottle and more expensive (probably because of the metal content). The good news is it coats well with a single layer so you don't have to use as much, just top coat it, it has a very nice metal shine with smooth, even application, very pretty. I wish they'd have more variety of colors like the Chrome Shine line did. You can use a colored one as a base and the white one on the tips to make a metallic French manicure, which looks really sharp.

A woman reported on Tuesday that a man she gave a ride to exposed himself and performed a lewd act while inside her car, Athens-Clarke County police said.
The 44-year-old victim said that after dropping off her son at a probation office on Lexington Road at about 11:40 a.m., a man approached her car and asked for a ride, police said.
She refused the request twice, then relented after he pleaded about needing a ride because it was cold and raining, police said.
Ulysis Lamond Cooper, 48, of Chesterton Drive, was arrested early Tuesday morning after he fled from a traffic stop an officer attempted to make following a citizen's report that Cooper was behaving suspiciously, Athens-Clarke County police said.
A resident of North Bluff Road who had his home burglarized the day before called 911 while driving to work at about 12:45 a.m. upon seeing an unfamiliar car driving through his neighborhood, police said.
The Barrow County Sheriff's Office reported the following incidents:
HARASSMENT: On Nov. 15, a deputy was dispatched to Christmas Avenue, Bethlehem, where a man said he was walking along the road when a car stopped, the driver got out and asked him in a loud voice what his problem was.
The man told the motorist he didn't have a problem. The motorist left and the man called for a deputy saying he felt like the man had harassed him.
Athens-Clarke County police on Tuesday said they were investigating reported burglaries, including:• A rental unit at Athens Mini Storage on College Station Road was broken into between Nov. 5 and Monday. Clothing valued at $200 was stolen.
A 56-year-old man created a scene in a local bank Monday morning when he claimed that $2 million was missing from his accounts, Athens-Clarke County police said.The man, who police said might be homeless, got irate when he asked about his account balances and was told by an employee that they held about $500, according to police."He started adding and subtracting numbers on a piece of paper," according to a police incident report. "He told bank employees that he was supposed to have $2 million in his account."
A news report that an Athens-Clarke County police detective lost his gun at the west precinct off Atlanta Highway is wrong, a police official said.
A police report filed Monday and used as the basis for a news report never noted that the detective lost his gun, said police Maj. Mark Sizemore.
Sizemore said Tuesday that the detective only lost a pair of handcuffs, an ammo magazine and a pouch that held the magazine.
All those items have since been recovered, the major said.
An Athens man reported Sunday that someone stole from his car two jackets and a cellphone, altogether valued at $850, while he was using the vehicle to give an acquaintance's car a jump start at about 1:15 p.m. that day in the 2400 block of Cherokee Road, Athens-Clarke County police said.
A Dan's Way resident reported Sunday that someone stole a pistol valued at $500 from his bed while he was hosting a gathering during Saturday evening's University of Georgia-University of Kentucky football game, Athens-Clarke County police said.
Athens-Clarke County police on Monday said they were investigating several burglaries, including:• A front door of a Cumberland Court home was pried open between noon Friday and 6:45 p.m. Sunday and a TV, an alarm clock, a rifle, a laptop computer and a PlayStation 3, altogether valued at $1,690 were stolen.• A necklace and a 65-inch TV, altogether valued at $7,600 were reported to have been stolen from a home in the 200 block of North Bluff Road between 2:50-3 a.m. on Monday.
An Athens man told Athens-Clarke police he was robbed while making a drug buy Saturday evening.As he was walking toward downtown Athens, the victim said he came across two men near East Broad and Mulberry streets who offered to sell him some marijuana, according to a police report. As they moved behind a church to make the deal, the victim told police the men then tried to sell him cocaine. After he refused, he said the men "reached in their pockets as if they had weapons," according to a police report.

People smoking pot when they want without recrimination? Good. Not being able to stop smoking pot even when you want to? Bad.
This subreddit is for practical discussions about how to stop smoking if you've decided to and support in staying stopped from your fellow leaves.
If you're looking for meetings try Marijuana Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous.
Please note: This group is pot-positive and we have no problems with pot other than the fact that it isn't right for us. That said -- this is a politics-free zone.
There are lots of thoughts on legalization and plenty of places to debate them, but they are a distraction from the mission of this subreddit which is to help people stop smoking.
Please limit your discussions to supporting your fellow leaves. Thanks!
Badges: We get occasional requests for badges -- please see this post: http://bit.ly/K0Y6Hg
There is, however, an active group of /leaves at Chains -- sign up and chart your daily progress with us.
Other things that will be removed:
Posts regarding strategies, wait times, products or anything related to drug testing.
Posts in which the sole subject is tolerance breaks or moderation management. This subreddit is for people who have the intention to quit or are trying to sort out whether they should, not for people who will resume or continue.
Posts discussing or advocating pot substitutes or any remedies other than mutual support and the sharing of our experience. There are medications that can help mitigate the effects of quitting or conditions that might have contributed to addiction, but you should get those from a doctor, not an Internet chat group.
Links to outside media -- essays, songs, videos, will be considered on a case-by-case basis, but please understand that they will most (most) likely be removed. These things can be inspiring, but it's better to talk about your inspiration in your own words. Both the writing and the reading are much more helpful to you and everyone.

A Personal Guide for Quitting Habitual Cannabis Use (self.leaves)
submitted 2 years ago * by [deleted]
I am writing this guide because there are many great and working ideas on this subreddit that I would like to compile and add to in one post.
First some background.
I am a honors Psychology Major at my local state University in CT, 20 years old, and I currently have a standard retail job moving and assembling furniture on the weekends. I have smoked habitually for 3 years and only recently quit with much success. When I bought the Magic Flight Launch box a little over a year ago, I smoked daily, several times daily. It was the end of my being sober for longer than a 1/3 of the day. I smoked and vaped because I did not see any problems and it helped in some areas in my life where I had anger issues and bouts with moderate depression. However, it wasn't until relatively recently I realized that my emotions were suffering that I was not able to feel as happy as I was when I was not smoking, nor was a I feeling as many needed negative emotions that were beneficial to me. My motivation to be in shape and play paintball had crashed and my only focuses were just doing well in school and keeping my job and that was it. I found this dissatisfying and realized that I would be better off quitting. This is how I have done it and this is how I believe would be the best way to combat withdrawal and gain motivation to quit based on my knowledge of drug abuse, exercise physiology, withdrawal, the Theory of Planned Behavior and Reasoned Action.
Why marijuana is a silent addiction
While it may be seen as a harmless drug because the negative effects on the body are very mild, and withdrawal is also mild, the brain reasons that since marijuana, given the empirical data supported by numerous journals, is harmless and poses little threat, should be worth the cost of smoking to have a good time. Unlike other drugs, the fact that marijuana has very mild physiological harm makes it more addictive because the brain weighs the cost/benefit differently. If marijuana were as destructive as cocaine or heroin, most people who smoke marijuana would realize this, and quit or simply never start, just like those who choose not to smoke tobacco. The reason why habitual use for marijuana is hard to break is because the neuroreceptors in the brain that help produce the happy chemicals involved in the marijuana high become less sensitized over time. While this is not as dramatic for marijuana as it is for harder drugs, it is significant enough to cause the withdrawal.
Symptoms of Withdrawal and Combating them
Typical Prevalent Symptoms of Withdrawal that make it hard to quit include: Insomnia, Cravings, Anhedonia(Absence of pleasure from typical things you find fun and/or just harder to just feel good during the day. When you don't feel good (as in you feel more neutral), you tend to crave pot because it gets you high, It doesn't just help you feel normal as many hard drug users need, it literally still gets you high; even if you have a high tolerance, you can always just smoke more and not worry about immediate consequence.
Combating the Addiction
Just a quick run down into the how and why to the methods im about to discuss.
Pretense- you have to want to quit and you have to believe that you can. If you do not believe you can quit, you will fail (you can quit, trust me) If you do not want to quit, you wont... Simple, its a planned behavior and wanting to quit is a good method ur brain will reason for quitting (i know that doesnt make sense but your brain processes some things separately from others so wanting to quit reinforces the reasoning behind quitting)
Destroy or get rid of all paraphernalia - out of sight; out of mind, its an effective strategy against combating things that trigger cravings. This goes along with removing yourself from social situations that will trigger cravings such as: groups of friends, smoke spots, specific drug stores you buy your wraps from, etc. Get away from all of it.
In my opinion, the absolute best way to help combat withdrawal in ALL forms, regardless of the drug you are removing from your life, is to exercise. Taking up an exercise regimen (particularly in the mornings) will in all likelihood disrupt the withdrawal from seeming nearly as bad. Exercising not only releases endorphins that make you feel good, but it can greatly aid in mood improvement for the long term throughout your days. It will also help you in falling asleep (as i have experienced when i had insomnia until i started p90x. Exercise increases brain activity, and in that brain activity lies your pleasure and mood systems. Most of this goes on inside your middle brain, the limbic system. Numerous academic journals have reported these claims and they have been confirmed to pretty much be incontrovertible. Adopting a good hard exercise program WILL help with a bulk of the struggles in quitting cannabis usage and WILL help re-sensitize your neuroreceptors (the ones involved with mood regulation and sleep). It also a profoundly healthy way to live your life. You might even burn off some pounds you gained from the munchies too ;) you will
Delete your drug dealers from your phone and forget everything about them. Its a lot easier to scroll through your phone and not be reminded of pot. Make it difficult to contact them and be lazy enough to not try. I find it hard to not smoke pot when its around, however, when I never had it and was trying to quit, I never bought any because it was the biggest step leading into my smoking.
Spend less time talking to the friends who smoke and more time talking to the friends that don't. Even if you dont talk about smoking with friends that smoke, inside your unconcious, you are processing information about smoking and it will sit in your brain. This happens because when confronting and individual who smokes, your brain than remembers (even if not conciously aware of it) the things that make up that person. If you can, cut yourself off from these individuals until you feel comfortable with being able to hold off in all situations.
(optional and personally based)- Before I start a t break or before I tried to quit (its happened a couple times), I try to smoke literally as much as I can the night before. I want to satiate my craving in a way where I wont feel the need to do it as much in the following days. I found that this worked for me but it may not work for other people. Ive done this with dieting too, where I eat a ton of food before reducing calorie intake. Before fully quitting, i quit one other time, and it was for a period of months before i bought, smoked and got very very high, and then ive stayed sober since without much craving due to my exercise regimen and the other things i do instead (I do a lot of yoga).
Sleeping!! Okay so basically, since I did not go into this enough, I would say this would be the biggest pain the ass for weeks after I went cold turkey. The reason why falling asleep is so tough is because, as many of you reading have noticed, pot makes you tired and helps you fall asleep when you need to. Melatonin and Adenosine are two key hormone/neurotransmitters that aid in falling asleep. When you smoke weed it increases these two greatly and because of that increase, over time one's brain adjusts sensitivity to these hormones. After a long period of time of using cannabis the neuroreceptor sites that accept these lovely sleep aids become dulled. They become dulled because they no longer need to be as sensitive to the amount of adenosine coming through the synapse so they dull to resolve homeostasis in the synapse. Fixing this takes time but it can be sped up. First of all, and I cannot emphasize this enough, hard exercise was the #1 thing that I consciously noticed helped my falling asleep and regulating my sleep patterns. Exercise works in this way because it allows for more production of neurotransmitters and increased sensitivity of those neuroreceptor sites. Guess what else raises adenosine indirectly?? Caffeine!! caffeine blocks the pathway of adenosine receptor sites and fills them in. This is why caffeine keeps you awake. If you drink coffee, stop, the caffeine withdrawal will increase the amount of adenosine that reaches the neuroreceptor sites in your brain. That will help in falling asleep. I would say that if you still smoke and plan to quit in the future, start drinking more coffee so that when you quit smoking you can quit coffee at 5-6 cups of coffee a day(approx 650mg caffeine) and the caffeine withdrawal will increase the amount of adenosine that reaches your neuroreceptors in the brain, which was offset by the desensitized receptors. Like i said, havent tried it, but theoretically it should work. As far as sleep aids go, you can try them, maybe using nyquil, zzzquil, sleepytime tea, velarian, melatoning; ive used them all but nothing worked as well as daily vigorous morning exercise. One more note: adenosine and melatonin are not the only chemicals involved in falling asleep. Other neurotransmitters play indirect and direct rolls as well such as levels of dopamines effect on pleasure and levels of seratonins effect on mood and relaxation. Ive tried taking 5htp(l5 hydroxy tryptophan) with vitamin b6 added. Besides being used as an otc mood improver by raising seratonin, I would suspect it could be a beneficial ally in breaking cannabis addiction.
Wrapping up:
So instead of summarizing, im going to give you a planned example of a quitting behavior regimen.
Saturday night: Joe tells his friends he is quitting and he would like them to respect that by not hitting him up. Joe then proceeds to smoke 10 grams and then smashes all of his bowls and set them on fire in a reverse pentagram bonfire. Send your addiction to Hell. (dramatization) (now we're ready to quit)
Sunday Day 0: Joe starts his Exercise regimen in the morning, he is determined to quit.
Sunday Day 7: Joe is only feeling moderate cravings but few withdrawal effects due to his new exercise regimen
Sunday Day 14: Joe feels somewhat better and may even feel significantly better (determined by how long usage had occured before quitting)
Sunday Day 30: One month hump has passed. Few cravings. Joe has more motivation to exercise but may feel he has his addiction under control and considers attempting to contact an old dealer to buy some just for the hell of it. Joe then realizes that's an awful decision and does yoga instead.
Sunday Day 60: By now Joe feels pretty good about himself and his new life away from pot. While occasionally having a fleeting notion of smoking and how fun it could be, he knows that by taking that step would be like taking the first step into what got him into the mess of addiction in the first place. He is much better off.
Sunday Day 25,550- Joe Dies of old age. He is surrounded by his happy family with love him very much for the man that he was. A loving, clean, husband, father, and grandfather of 300 children.
Thank You for reading. I truly hope this helps anyone looking to quit.

Thanks for the information dude. Much appreciated
[–]needmoarbass 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
you have some very good points in here. nice write up
[–]DongleNocker 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Here is the deal, stop hanging around people and places you had associated with smoking weed, stop activities that you associated with weed (for me it was discgolf), and get rid of stuff that reminds you of doing it.
After that it is up to you where or what you need to fill the void in your life that will be left behind after quitting.

Great guide
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (3 children)
Not bad. But does not apply fully to everyone(there never will be a guide that blankets everyone.) The one thing I would definitely add is something about sleep. Maybe you don't have an issue with this, but for me and many others this is a big struggle.
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (2 children)
I did have something about sleep in there. I noted I had insomnia issues. Working out daily helped out ALOT with being tired to fall asleep at night. Yes, i do agree that to-each-his-own, however ANYONE trying to quit should follow these general guidelines.
edit: I think by understanding the addiction and the drug (which i tried to describe) should help others develop an understanding and perhaps a method that will work for them.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (1 child)
Yes, you touch on it. But it could have been expanded on much more. Just some criticism, not discrediting the rest of what you wrote.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
thank you. Ill be sure to edit and add more, i agree, i should have wrote more about that, it is truly important :)
[–]hellasketchy -1 points0 points1 point 2 years ago (0 children)
An addict's brain does not weigh cost/benefit, that's kind of the definition of addiction - you lost me there.

Top off your tank
Many people continue to add gas to their tanks even after the pump has indicated that the tank is full. By topping off their tanks, they believe they're getting as much gas in the tank as possible.
