The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

-- Santa Cruz El Deber reports that, after two weeks of civic strike, the
Potosi Civic Committee (Comcipo) decided yesterday to negotiate its
six-point list of demands in Sucre, but only if President Evo Morales
attends the meeting. The government has not yet responded to this
condition. Luis Nunez, Santa Cruz Civic Committee president, expressed his
support for his Potosi counterpart yesterday, explaining: "There in Potosi
they have done the same thing they wanted to do in other cities on trying
to oust a legally-elected mayor and not attend their demands which are
just." (Santa Cruz de la Sierra El Deber.com.bo in Spanish -- Website of

yesterday. Government Says Potosi Hunger Strikers From Opposition
-- La Paz La Prensa reports that about 2,000 people are on hunger strike
in 200 pickets in five departments to pressure the government to attend
Potosi's regional demands. Yesterday Government Minister Sacha Llorenti
minimized the hunger strike on saying that the participants are members of
opposition parties, despite the fact that the protest measure was started
by four Potosi legislators, three of whom are from the Movement Toward
Socialism (MAS): In a related item, La Prensa reports that Potosi Governor
Felix Gonzales, from MAS, was taken to intensive care yesterday after 111
hours of hunger strike caused his health to deteriorate. (La Paz La

Verge of Collapse; San Cristobal Stops Operations
-- La Paz La Prensa reports that most of Potosi's mining activity is at a
standstill as a result of the region's ongoing civic strike with
roadblocks. The San Cristobal Mining Company, Bolivia's largest mining
project, stopped operations yesterday allegedly for maintenance work, one
day after 500 campesinos took over the Punutuma power plant which supplies
the project. The company issued a communique regretting the current
conflict and saying: "San Cristobal Mining collaborates and want to
continue collaborating towards the development of the Department of
Potosi, in particular, and of Bolivia, in general." Foreign Ministry
Rejects Brazilian Presidential Candidate's Remarks
-- La Paz La Razon reports that the Foreign Ministry issued a communique
yesterday rejecting Brazilian presidential candidate Jose Serra's comments
when he said: "The Bolivian Government is lazy in the area of cocaine
control." The communique states that the government "emphatically rejects
those remarks, considering them to be unfounded and untrue, only
reflecting Mr Serra's ignorance about the counternarcotics efforts made by
Bolivia and which are recurring affirmations made exclusively for
electoral purposes." (La Paz La Razon Online in Spanish -- Digital version

-- La Paz La Razon reports that Bolivian exports to the United States
increased by 46.55% in the first half of 2010 despite the fact that
Bolivia no longer enjoys customs preferences under the Andean Trade
Promotion and Drug Eradication Act. National Institute for Statistics
(INE) figures show that exports grew from $175.20 million in January-June
2009 to $256.76 million this year. Government To Negotiate Gas Exports in

Government Identifies Political Interests Behind Potosi Protest
-- Bolivian Government News Agency (ABI) reports that, at a press
conference in La Paz yesterday, government spokesman Ivan Canelas,
Government Minister Sacha Llorenti and Mining Minister Jose Pimentel urged
Potosi civic leaders to think about the population and stop taking part in
rightwing manipulations. Canelas named the opposition leaders who he
believes are & quot;provoking situations of confrontation without thinking
of the interests of the people of Potosi," adding that "these political
movements that only want to cause problems for the executive branch under
the pretext of defending the people have been totally identified." He said
that the United Nations had also denounced human rights violations in
Potosi. (La Paz Agencia Boliviana de Informacion in Spanish -- Website of

commission is to tackle and the fact that the commission includes former

violations" in his country, a former prime minister of New Zealand, and an
Israeli judge. Duflar says "there is little hope that there will be a
resolution condemning Israel."
5. 2241 GMT Alonso asks Brooks to tell about reception that said
international commission received in Israel. Brooks says that first
Turkish Commission results should be assessed.
6. 2249 GMT Alonso asserts that "make up of international commission is
being questioned, especially with regard to Uribe's presence in com
mission and with regard to effectiveness of what said commission can do in
the face of Israel's reluctance to provide information and allow soldiers

7. 2250 GMT Alonso turns to Roundtable journalist Oliver Zamora Oria who
reads Internet coverage of the topic under discussion.
8. 2257 GMT Alonso shows video report on preparations for Ramadan month in

on international topics. Alonso shows a video clip of civilians wounded
during Afghan war.
13. 2329 GMT Alonso asks Concepcion to tell about "the growing number of
civilian casualties." Concepcion reports the number of US casualties,
"which shows that US strategy in Afghanistan is not working out and that
these casualties prove that the war is lost."
14.2334 GMT Alonso asks Nodal to add his comments on policy suggested by
General David Petraeus. Nodal elaborates on US analysts' papers on the
Afghan problem and cites excerpts of recently written article entitled
"Obama's Afghan Formula."
15. 2340 GMT Alonso turns to Zamora who reads most recent Internet reports
on the Afghan conflict.
16. 2345 GMT Alonso asks Nodal to comment on spreading of war to Pakistan
and its effects on the stability of that country. Nodal contends that
there is a climate of distrust in relation between the United States and
Afghanistan and also with Pakistan. He argues that the Pakistani

Taliban." He also claims that it is a war where everybody is cheating.
17. 2351 GMT Alonso and Concepcion keep alleging that the war in
Afghanistan is lost, "just like it happened in Iraq." They also discuss
large US media outlets coverage of the Afghan war. Concepcion adds that

7. 2249 GMT Alonso asks Zamora to add his contribution to discussion of
improvement of relations in Latin America and the Caribbean. Zamora argues

relations. Zamora contends that there is much expectation, especially from

in 2009 and maintains that this summit will give Santos the opportunity to
ease tensions and alleviate the concern generated by his presidency.

Investigators presume that the trafficking was conducted through the
System for Comprehensive Family Development (DIF) of Benito Juarez, over

maintaining ties with organized crime.
Saliva has been married to Sanchez for nearly six years. In Mexico she

According to an investigation released yesterday by a local newspaper,
Saliva appeared before the Office of the Attorney General of the Repu blic
(PGR) to answer questions about her possible responsibility in the
trafficking in undocumented migrants. She was considered to be a suspect
and was banned from leaving the country.
Saliva sought and obtained an injunction from the Fourth District Court,
which granted her protection under case file 1229/2010, the newspaper
report says.
The SIEDO investigations show that the Cubans were entering the country
with 180-day permits obtained by the city government through the Cultural
or Tourism Directorates or the DIF from the National Migration Institute
allegedly to participate in artistic and cultural events.
A couple of months earlier it was learned that 150 Cuban citizens were
registered on the municipal payroll, 80 of them assigned to the DIF. Yet,
authorities only confirmed the presence of approximately 20 of them in the
city government.

world-wide issue, the problem in Mexico is directly linked to the United
States because the weapons that come into Mexico come from that country
and the drugs that come from Mexico end up in the United States.

Vermilion Manor Employees Lose Jobs After Sale
VERMILION COUNTY -- It's been a long process but the paperwork is finally finished and Vermilion Manor Nursing Home is under new ownership.
Changes are already occurring and its not the best for some employees.
For forty people, today is their last day of work as the new owners consolidate positions.
The new owner, FNR Healthcare Group, has promised to make two million dollars worth of upgrades to the home.
The county took out a line of credit to be sure all bills were paid but it seems that money was not needed.
County Board Chairman Gary Weinard says, "Our bank balance got to be quite small but we never had to exercise the line of credit. So, that's disappeared. As of today that's just a piece of paper laying on a desk somewhere."
That money goes back into to general fund.
A new sign is up and and the home is renamed Gardenview Manor.
Vermilion County will keep the books open to pay off bills that have yet to come in but the responsibility to run the home rests with the new owner.

My works are mainly painterly objects that are based in drawing. I love materials, particularly traditional ones because of their non-technological quality, their humbleness and weight of history. The feeling of materials and the mark of the hand are important to me. Im interested in the present moment and its rapid slide into memory and
it is remembered and recalled in the mind. The non-narrative present moment--full of secrecy, privacy, silence. The imagery is not symbolic, it just is. It is informed by my environment, renaissance and pre-renaissance painting, portraiture, reading Borges, the feeling of looking at family photographs, remembering yesterday piece by piece.

Developmental Services - Case Management Manual
Reportable Event Protocol for Developmental Services Office Coverage
The purpose of this procedure is to assure that there is a consistent process for reporting an event to a district office per the reportable events policy. The district offices are Portland, Lewiston, Augusta, Thomaston, Bangor, and Caribou.
- Each district office will have an office coverage process in place that allows for I.S.C. level of staff or above to be available to take a reportable event phone call
- When a reportable event that must be called in IMMEDIATELY is called into the district office (see reportable events form and policy) the phone call will be forwarded live to the office coverage person. A call back to the person is not acceptable.
- When a report is called in by a non- provider (i.e. family, friend, community member) all portions of the reportable events form should be filled out by the office coverage person.
- When a reportable event is called into the district office by a provider agency with information about an event that must be reported IMMEDIATELY the office coverage person should fill out the Reportable Events-Developmental Services Office form. This is the reportable events form with areas highlighted that needs to be filled in for the initial call. Any further information that is gathered should be entered as well. Providers should be informed that they need to submit the reportable events form by fax or mail within 2 business days of the event.
- The office coverage person will immediately give this form to the Incident Data Specialist. It is the responsibility of the office coverage person to assure that the IDS (or the person covering) is aware of the incident as soon as possible. This cannot be done by voice mail or e-mail. Incidents that are immediate in nature are being reported through the IDS and it is their responsibility to assure that people who need the information get it as soon as possible.
- The IDS will follow the reportable events policy for logging the report and informing the appropriate offices or people.
The office coverage person should not accept calls for reportable events not required to be reported Immediately (i.e. restraint, med. errors, licensing). Agency staff should be informed that they need to fill out the Reportable Events form and fax or mail it within one business day of the event. Office coverage staff should make sure that the event is NOT an event which is required to be reported immediately, for example a med error which ordinarily does not require immediate reporting, which results in a severe adverse reaction, should be reported immediately.

I think zoro can whoop luffys ass. watcha think
Yes it seems like from the sheer strenght and skill zorro has developed, but he their captain and the hero of the manga. So i feel he will also always find a way to be top dog, well it is an shounen manga n'all.
haven;t you seen the episodes before the little garden arc ? At the bounty hunter place' luffy and zoro got into a fue and that clashed it out into a serious fight. well just a head ups for you fans who hasn't gotten there :P
Heh, yea, Fat Luffy owns all.
yup....i think Luffy will win...
or maybe they draw? :-D
Funny, in Shonen Jump, the official English translation, they call him Zolo...
Here in Norway they call him Zoro.. But Luffy has become Ruffy.. I am thinking about sending in a complaint..
zoro cause he can't cut rubber. you can notice that every devil user sort of seem to have an weakness. like croc is seriously weak against water, eneru can't do crap to rubber at ALL. bullets dont work well against rubber and punches dont work that well either but luffy is afraid of swords. and sword is his weakness. sort of like pokemon ahahhaaha :-D
You mean he can cut rubber.
But seriously I'm tired of people using the excuse of Zoro can beat Luffy because Luffy's rubber, and swords can cut rubber. The hell, swords can cut anybody. Wouldn't anybody be afraid of swords if not having one themself. At least when saying Zoro can beat Luffy use something else besides swords can cut rubber. I'm not trying to put anybody on the spot but I've been hearing that alot.
But I would say Zoro because he's got skills and trains almost everyday, while Luffy sits there and eats. But me saying Zoro can beat Luffy, doesn't that just cancel out the whole statement I just made. :lol:
Are you fricken' kidding me? Luffy would beat the living crap out of Zoro.Quote:

It's quite a way off the beaten path but that's what makes it quiet. Sites are close but there were few campers so we had our choice and lots of space. We got power & water only and got the Good Sam discount. Good, steady WiFi. A short walk will take you to an overlook way down into the Crooked River. This is our 2nd stay here. - Thedogsma
Poorly delineated sites and roads meld together as large swaths of gravel surrounding islands of grass and trees for tent campers. RV sites are close together with no sense of privacy. Basic utilities are good; wifi was very slow and frequently interrupted. AT&T phone and data service was adequate in the area. The area was quiet except for occasional, distant train whistles. The price reflects a Good Sam discount for a back-in water and electric site. - never settled
We stayed in two different areas-A area and C area. They were night and day! The A site was so uneven (just gravel and dirt) we almost were unable to unhitch. No wifi and TV stations were fuzzy. When we were at the C site, we had fairly good wifi and much better TV reception. We also had grass! The site was still uneven but no comparison. Good hiking paths, dog friendly. - fifth wheeler

This park is okay for a night or two. It is a gravel parking lot with hookups. Mostly permanent residents here. It was very quiet and the views are nice. It looks as if they are working to clean the park up, putting in grass & trees. - CurleyJo
This camp is mostly long term RVs. Our site was a pull through, big enough for the motorhome and car. We used Enjoy America for discounted rate. - Don & Sonja
Adequate campground. One shower, 2 stall bathrooms were clean although men's shower could use a new floor. Wi-Fi was good and water pressure was adequate. The owner is in the process of updating things. At the passport rate this is a good deal. At full price I'd go up the road to the other Crooked River Ranch RV and for $10 more get a more deluxe value. Would stay again. - hmthomas1

Vegetarian uses for the KitchenAid food grinder attachment!?
- 5
- Follow
Hello all! This is my first post! What a great site :).
I feel a bit silly asking this, but I can't seem to get anything by Googling. Long story short, I was starting to get a bit freaked out about commercially ground meat, and so I purchased, via Amazon, a food grinder attachment for my mixer. Well, a couple days after I ordered it, my family decided to cut out meat entirely.
Now, the conundrum is whether I should keep or return the grinder. It's not super expensive - like $40? - but if there's not much that you can do with it that doesn't involve meat, then it's a lot of money to pay for a useless gadget!
What are your thoughts? What can you do with a grinder that doesn't involve meat? Is it pretty much the same thing as a food mill, or not quite?
I was vegetarian for 17 years, and never once found any need for the grinder on my mixer. Now, I will process onions or fruit along with meat when I'm making sausage or something, but I can't really think of anything vegetarian that needs that type of high-torque chopping.
I'd return it. You won't be using it if you stay the vegetarian course long-term. Unless you've used it, of course, in which case I think it would be unethical to put it back in the box and return it as new.
re: dmd_kc
Much appreciated, thank you. I should have noted that the item hasn't even arrived yet - so no, definitely not used! I have the worst timing, haha. Hopefully it doesn't cost anything ridiculous to try to ship it back. Maybe I'll see if I can sell it locally instead.
Thanks again!
You can extrude pasta - sort of. You really need the additional plates and a sort of funnel tube. I do not have one and the reviews put me off.
I use my grinder for meat and nothing else (apart from bread to clean out the last of the meat). If your family are not going to revert to a meat diet then I think it will be of little use to you.
re: Paulustrious
Thank you, that's as I suspected. I think I only read of two things that you could use the grinder for: applesauce and breadcrumbs. Neither are the type of thing I make often enough to really justify the need for a whole separate attachment!
So, I will try to return it and put the refunded money to an ice cream maker just in time for summer ;).
re: HumanUnit
The food processor is much better for breadcrumbs, and an immersion blender or masher for applesauce. I can't even begin to imagine trying to use a grinder for it. You won't regret not having it.

Its far from a done deal, but plenty of Union County parents remain on edge over the school district considering its first-ever countywide redistricting to handle overcrowding.
The issue has played out at local rallies, school board meetings, municipal meetings and on social media.
On Thursday night, the school board will hear alternatives to redistricting. But a decision on whether to proceed with redistricting is not expected at the meeting, board Chairman Richard Yercheck said Wednesday.
As it stands, redistricting would involve 14 percent of the district population changing schools, or about 5,800 of 41,800 students. High school seniors will be allowed to remain at their school, and Yercheck favors letting juniors stay, too.
Everyone is up in arms about it, said Lory Lynch, a Waxhaw resident whose two children would have to switch schools under redistricting. I dont think the school board will listen. They didnt spend all this time drawing out (redistricting) maps for nothing.
But Yercheck said the board has not made up its mind as it tries to craft a plan to impact the least amount of families possible. He did not know which plan he would support.
Parents, students and others have taken their concerns to public rallies as well as social media. For instance, an online petition at change.org to stop redistricting has more than 9,400 signatures.
On Tuesday night, to the cheers of an overflow crowd, the Wesley Chapel council approved a sharply worded resolution opposing redistricting.
It said redistricting would end up pulling friends apart and segregating our neighborhoods while moving youths from higher performing schools to lower performing schools, which is unacceptable to the parents in our community.
(The plan) is ripping apart communities, Wesley Chapel resident Stephanie Haring said. She is concerned that homes in her Price Mill community would lose their value if students have to go to another school.
Another parent, Jenny Kanagy, said her family moved into their Weddington neighborhood from the Raleigh area because of the reputation of the local schools. Uprooting her kids to go to another school could be a logistical nightmare, she said.
Parents are hoping the school board slows down and considers all options, Kanagy said.
But despite her strong feelings, she disliked the disparaging comments that have surfaced online about the issue. Theres been a lot of ugliness, and I hate that, Kanagy said.
Yercheck, the school board chairman, said he doesnt understand the vitriol some parents have directed to certain schools or parts of the county.
Facebook comments from ticked-off parents included: If the likes of people like you and your attitude is what will be in our school, we dont want you there; Where do we start petitions to recall those that support this ridiculous idea?; and We need to overwhelm the BOE with our disapproval.
Still building
Union County, once one of the fastest-growing counties in the nation, still attracts plenty of new homes. Several municipalities have approved hundreds of building permits since 2011, according to the county.
A demographic report for the school district estimated that the system will grow by about 15 percent between 2010 and 2020. Some areas will see much stronger growth. Kensington Elementary, for instance, is projected to grow by about 65 percent.
The district is the sixth largest in the state, and is home to 53 schools.
Union County has previously handled smaller-scale redistricting, district spokesman Rob Jackson said. The last time that happened was in 2008.
Three schools have reached their maximum capacity, and the school board capped the enrollment in November for Marvin Ridge Middle, Porter Ridge Middle and Kensington Elementary.
Alternatives to redistricting could include more enrollment caps, year-round schools or morning, afternoon and evening shifts at schools, Yercheck said.
After Thursdays meeting, he expects the board will need at least one more work session before deciding how to proceed. Whatever path they choose will include public forums, and a final vote by the board is expected by early April.

When we took our first look at the 2011 Hyundai Elantra GLS a few months ago, our initial impressions were good. We gushed about the fit and finish, the attractive styling, the nimble handling, and the great cabin tech package. But today's automotive landscape is rapidly changing, and in the three months since our last encounter with the Elantra, we've also found ourselves behind the wheel of the new Ford Focus and the new Chevy Cruze Eco , vehicles that join the incumbent Honda Civic in the competition for buyers' C-segment dollars.
With more seat time under our belts, we take a second look at Hyundai's shot over the bow of Honda and see if some of the sheen of our first impression has worn off.
Power for the Elantra is provided by a rather pedestrian 1.8-liter engine that makes 148 horsepower and 131 pound-feet of torque. Although a six-speed manual transmission is available, we're sure that most examples of the Elantra--our tester included--will put power to the front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission with Shiftronic manual shift mode. No, the Elantra doesn't exactly back up its sporty windswept look with mind-blowing performance, but acceleration is adequate. When left in its automatic mode, the Elantra supposedly hits 60 mph in just a hair under 8 seconds. However, in the Shiftronic manual mode, we had the hardest time getting under the 10-second mark. That's due to the manual shift mode's habit of automatically upshifting just as we reached for the shift lever, causing us to end up a gear higher than expected. For best results, just leave the shifting to the computer.
The EPA estimates the Elantra's fuel economy at 29 city mpg and 40 mpg on the highway. However, we came nowhere near those numbers. Mixed driving kept the trip computer hovering around 25 mpg for the duration of our first tank of gas. After refueling and trying again with more highway driving in the mix, we were able to tickle, but not exceed, 32 mpg. Perhaps an instantaneous fuel economy gauge would have helped us to boost that number, but the Elantra is only equipped with an Eco light in its instrument cluster that illuminates when the driver goes easy on the throttle.
On the road, the Elantra feels like the Honda Civic used to in the '90s: making up for its notable lack of power by emphasizing lightweight, nimble handling. However, although the Elantra's handling is good, the sedan still has an economy-car feel. Its torsion-bar rear suspension doesn't stick to the road like the Civic's multi-link rear end. Over uneven pavement at highway speeds, the Elantra's front suspension soaks up bumps surprisingly well, but we were able to feel the rear end rolling over when the road got curvy. Expect the Elantra to understeer when pushed to its moderate limits before the standard stability control, traction control, and brake force distribution systems step in to keep things in line.
The Elantra's electric power steering feels a bit over-boosted, which makes it feel slightly numb for performance driving but perfect for effortless milling about town. The sedan also has a small turning radius, a valuable asset for city dwellers. When equipped with the optional rearview camera, which we'll discuss shortly, the light steering, quick turning, and small footprint make the Elantra remarkably easy to parallel park. We're thinking that most potential Elantra drivers will value the sedan's low-speed handling and manners over all-out high-speed performance.
Cabin tech
When equipped with automatic transmission, the GLS trim level comes standard with a 172-watt six-speaker stereo system with a good mix of audio sources, including XM Satellite Radio, AM/FM terrestrial radio, a single-disc CD player with MP3 decoding capability, and USB and auxiliary inputs with iPod connectivity. In order to best use an iPod or iPhone with Hyundai's system, you'll need to drop an additional $35 on an iPod cable that simultaneously connects the iPod or iPhone to both the auxiliary and USB inputs for full-speed music library browsing. Additionally, the Elantra can be equipped with Hyundai's standard array of cabin tech options.

Okay, we admit it: We're suckers for style. The plushbottoms who people this office are willing to excuse almost anything in its name, which explains our fondness for the 1983 Aston Martin Lagonda. You can rely on us to call a spade a spade, but when it's got an ocelot-femur handle and a blade wrought from the finest German boron-Kevlar, well, then a spade is an instrument of rare subtlety and something we desperately need to own, right now, lest the Earth spin off its axis. So it is appropriate that we were floored by our year with the Volvo V70 T5--blinded, for too long, to its dynamic shortcomings and smitten by its tactile splendor.
Our reactions may have been more pronounced because the object of our affection was a Volvo. Volvos, whose bodies have long been artless riffs on the right angle, have benefited immeasurably from the pen of Peter Horbury, Volvo's British head of design. Horbury has somehow managed to show, arguably better than any previous Swede in his position, what a Scandinavian car should look and feel like. From the C70 to the most recent S60, Horbury's Volvos blend the sometimes warring but always Scandinavian virtues of utility and beauty.
From our logbook: "Just as it took an American (Freeman Thomas) to encapsulate the German car's essence (Audi TT), so has it taken a Brit to bring Scandinavian design back to Volvo. This car's styling, inside and out, is restrained and elegant, crisp and uplifting, a tonic for all that depressing, twenty-four-hour Arctic Circle darkness."
It was an anticipated sense of this well-being that overwhelmed us when outfitting the car. We chose nearly every available option, boosting the V70 T5's price from a sensible $34,775 to an almost embarrassing $41,675. But at least we got the sport leather package ($1300) with its fine-grained hides on the steering wheel and gear-selector boot; the security package ($500) with its all-important mass movement and level sensors, security laminated windows, and air-quality system; the cold weather package ($450) with traction and stability control, heated seats, and headlamp washer/wipers; the $350 complex of nets known as the versatility package; and a $1000, nine-speaker Dolby Pro Logic in-dash four-CD audio system with astounding clarity and stereo imaging.
The audio system was a fine companion on long drives, but so was the car itself. Senior editor Joe Lorio was the first to note its highway brilliance: "We put a good 2000 miles on the V70 in the past twelve days, and what a pleasant 2000 miles it was. The V70 truly feels like a luxury unit. Anyone coming out of the previous-generation car will be impressed. The ride, particularly, has seen a wholesale improvement, as the V70 just thumps over potholes utterly unfazed." Credit the V70's well-tuned MacPherson front struts and thickets of rear suspension links, as well as an extraordinarily stiff body--it's 50 percent more torsionally rigid than the previous V70 wagon--which helps the suspension do the job for which it was intended.

I made this design with the word HOPE because I think that is important for all of us, I think that the message that is in there is very clear, because the hope is all that we have, well we have more things like happiness, faith, support, love, and more.
I made a lot of designs, but this take this one because with the hands we can represent that we take that message, that we want more hope, that we are a family.
The message "I'm with you" is a motive phrase, but I prefer "with HOPE, anything is possible", because is important for the world.

10 Movie Sequels We Actually Want To See
Hollywood continues to bless us with second and third (and even fourth) sequels of blockbuster films. And if these movies continue to make money, they'll go on till infinity. While sequels can be great, most of the time they're not nearly as entertaining as the original. We know this.
That said, there are a handful of flicks that nearly everyone (well, us) can agree would benefit from a sequel. These are 10 film sequels we'd actually like to see. Anyone want to start a petition?

Nintendo is thinking about forming a "new business structure" that could incorporate smartphone initiatives, president Satoru Iwata said today as part of a press conference addressing dismal Wii U sales. It was also during this conference that he vowed not to resign as top executive.
"We are thinking about a new business structure," Iwata said at a press conference today attended by Bloomberg. "Given the expansion of smart devices, we are naturally studying how smart devices can be used to grow the game-player business."
Nintendo has refused to release its tentpole franchises like Mario or Zelda on smartphones because it believes that offering these series on third-party devices would negatively impact the company's ability to sell its own hardware.
Iwata did not elaborate much on the bespoke "new business structure," but pointed out that addressing the smartphone market is "not as simple as enabling Mario to move on a smartphone."
Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal's coverage of Iwata's presentation quotes the executive as saying people have fundamentally changed in recent years, and Nintendo must do more to keep its business practices in line with consumer expectation.
"The way people use their time, their lifestyles, who they are--have changed," Iwata said. "If we stay in one place, we will become outdated."
Earlier today, Nintendo slashed Wii U sales projections for the year ending March 2014 from 9 million units to 2.8 million systems, a dramatic 69 percent cutback. The company also pared back sales expectations for the 3DS and downwardly revised its overall financial projections.
The Wii U has sold 3.91 million units worldwide as of September 30.

What kind of incubator do you use. If I am correct you had 14/14 and now 11/11 for 25 out of 25. That is awesome. Any tips on your incubator. |
- Posted by juliette_2009 (My Page) on Tue, Jun 23, 09 at 8:40
I am using a Genesis Hovabator 1588 (forced air, digital thermostat). Some people complain about styrofoam incubators not being able to hold the correct temperature, but I have not had that problem...I do have it in an extra bedroom, where the room temperature remains fairly constant...a garage or shed might be a different story. I collect my eggs from Monday to the following Sunday, placing them in the incubator that Sunday evening. My temperature stays at 101, with 60% humidity, and I turn the eggs only twice a day by hand, morning and night. Three days before the expected hatch date (19 days for Seramas), I stop turning the eggs and increase the humidity to 70%. My first hatch pipped on day 19 and hatched within 24 hours...my second hatch pipped on days 19 & 20, hatched on days 20 & 21. Why the second hatch took longer, I have no idea! Remember, these numbers work for me for Seramas, a different breed may need different numbers. It seems that many people have successful hatches using very different procedures...there seems to be a lot of luck involved! I hope this helps! Juliette |

Let me please make sure I have this correct. You have a fan inside and you have to turn the eggs yourself. no automatic egg turner. It has a digital preset temperature.??? I guess they cost about $130.+ ship, and here is what one said on ebay. The New Genesis Hova-Bator Incubator 1588 We are a Factory Authorized Dealer and eBay Power Seller! The New Genesis Hova-Bator is pre-set for bird eggs. Simply plug it in, then add water and eggs. Nothing to set up or adjust. This circulated air Hova-Bator comes with a thermometer, plastic bottom liner. Simply plug it in, add water for humidity and eggs, Nothing to set up or adjust. The pre-set microprocessor based thermostat digitally regulates itself in the 99.9 degree range. The digital technology in this thermostat, unlike outdated analog tecnology, means the command setting is never affected by changes in the humidity, temperature, dust or age. Built in sensors prevent the "burn up" of eggs. Like all incubators, the 1588 requires a stable room temperature and should not be used in areas like sheds or barns. Being pre-set, this incubator delivers consistently good hatches. Excellent for classrooms, novices, and experts. Can be used for most types of bird eggs. Dimensions 18" x 18" x 9 1/2" Automatic egg turners available. Without an automatic turner in place, the incubator will hold 50 large duck or chicken eggs or 140 quail eggs. |

gardendawgie- Yes, all this is correct. I purchased mine here...https://www.gqfmfg.com/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=77 The temperature is preset, but the thermometers I use range from 100 to 101 (I have 2 or 3 in there, just to be sure). I also made my own "water-wigglers"...In the first hatch, I double-bagged ziploc baggies with warm water, 4 or so, and placed them around the perimeter of the incubator (on the inside), to help keep temps stable. On the second hatch, I just filled empty seltzer bottles with water, placed around the perimeter, since the baggies were prone to leaking. I don't know for sure if any of this makes a difference, but since it worked for me, I'm glad to pass it on! Juliette |

- Posted by gardendawgie (My Page) on Wed, Jun 24, 09 at 0:49
Juliette that is a cool idea. a little leaking is ok it keeps up the humidity as long as the eggs are not sitting in water. But if the eggs get wet they will probably die quickly. I was working hard on the incubator ideas today. You can take your incubator apart and put the parts into a bigger box with 2 trays and it will work if done reasonably. So that is a good incubator that can be upgraded. Just need to find a big styrofoam box. I have seen them at times. I am going to keep my eyes open. But for now it is big enough for me. And in a year or two if I need a bigger one by then I should have found a big styrofoam box with lid. For now I want to save up my money and get the one with the egg turner. Thanks for pointing out your success with that one. |
- Posted by velvet_sparrow z10 So. Calif. (My Page) on Thu, Jun 25, 09 at 6:27
gardendawgie, I've seen plans for home-built incubators made of wood online that look great...also, for styrofoam you might be able to use a styrofoam ice chest/cooler. Velvet ~:> |
- Posted by gardendawgie (My Page) on Fri, Jun 26, 09 at 11:05
Yes I want a large styrofoam ice chest box/ cooler. Thick styrofoam is much better than that thin styrofoam for a bigger box because it becomes more important to keep the heat inside. they are always made for cooling but it is the same thing. temperature control. |

Black absorbs infared heat better, not radiate it. The radiating material, not it's color, is what makes the difference when you want to cool something. Ever paint your CPU cooler contact plate black before putting ArticSilver on it?
No, the colour of an object affects its radiative properties exactly the same way as its absorptivity. The reason you don't paint a CPU cooler black is because it doesn't cool by radiation, but by conduction/convection.

Ok...so AES was thought to require 2^128 time units to brute force. So 2^119 time complexity means essentially that the new algorithm takes 2^119 units of time to complete which is a lot better, and they think it might be able to optimize it down to 2^110 units of time.
Where does 2^128 come from? I would have expected 2^255, since on average you need to try half of the 2^256 possible keys.

I started some slips from one potato. I now have six or seven healthy vines. How big do they get, how much do they produce? Also, are they hungry for fertilizer? They sure like 110 degrees! |

I'm in iowa, and planted sweet potatoes a couple weeks ago. They haven't grown much at all, and I wonder if it's hot enough here for them. So I can't answer your question, but I need sweet potato help too. |
- Posted by engineeredgarden 7, nw Alabama (My Page) on Fri, Jun 11, 10 at 17:12
They don't like much nitrogen at all.....an animal manure compost is the best form of fertilizer for them. Also, they need lots of sunshine and heat. EG |
Tracy, how big they get depends on the variety you've planted. Actually, I can't tell if you're asking how big the plants get or the roots, but both depend on variety. About fertilizer, I would guess a lot of nitrogen would not be good for them, since you don't want them to only grow leaves. Joyce, you might want to check out Sand Hill Preservation Center. They are in Iowa and have the biggest heirloom sweet potato collection I've seen, so they must be experts at growing sweet potates in cooler areas. They have some info on their website for tricks to get them to grow up there. Hope that helps. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Sand Hill Preservation Center
Im mainly wondring how many roots each plant produces. Also, how do you know when it's time to harvest? I'm also curious if I need a trellis for the vines. They're getting pretty big already, maybe two feet long. |
Neohippie, really like the site, Sand Hill Preservation Center. Can people go there to tour? Wish I lived closer to them. Thanks! |
tracydr One plant tends to produce about 6 potatoes in a clump usually. They are about the size of those in the store and in most areas they are harvested in early October. You can check into them to see how big they are. |
Thanks! This was from the grocery store. Has orange meat and was about 1.5 to 2 lbs. It was bigger than a large russett. I think I have 6-7 plants growing. Interesting to see if they taste the same fresh from the garden. I have to teach my husband how to eat sweet potatoes and squash. He doesn't do orange veggies or okra and I'm growing all of them. Sweet potato and okra really seem to love my garden! |
My first year (in GA) with 7 sweet potatoes plants purchased from a garden center, the total yeild was 5 (FIVE)full,five gallon bukcets of potatoes ranging in size from fingerlings to a football. I'm not kidding. The main plant typically had 6 or so roots (potatoes) and then everywhere that the vine touched down and rooted, MORE potatoes. The further out from the main plant the smaller they were, but these 7 plants took over my entire garden spot. Here, you can leave them in the ground until just before the first frost (december) This past year, I left them in the ground and we had a frost that killed the plants, I still harvested potatoes *completely unharmed). I would NOT trellis them if you have the space for them to spread out. And what I found was that even when they did spread out over the entire garden, by December, pretty much everything was done anyway, so it was not a problem. here are a few pics. My plants were started at the forefront of the pics in the first 2 outter most rows and they went to the fence and beyond the garden spot is I'd say about 15 feet long and about 15 feet wide |

Trust me I've had very high ddanmes as well, and to be utterly honest right now this relationship isn't what I wanted at one point in my life..a few years ago, I walked away from it and promised to never look back. He's been persistent though, and he's always, always wanted this more than I have. I always thought the one to care less is the one that has the advantage over the relationship, essentially the one with the power. But that's not what I want my relationship to be about..I don't want to be the one calling the shots and him holding on for dear life becomes he loves me too much to leave. You know what I mean? I've changed a lot in the past year and a half, it's for the best I suppose. I'm looking forward to great things! I couldn't agree more with the fact that marriage does in fact magnify things in a relationship..I'm confident we'll work through it though, been through too much to let it fail now.

a 164 you could probably handle it especially in powpow. Look for this year's Capita Party Shark - basically it is the same board but with way better graphics: a party shark on topsheet and the base says "Fuck yeah bro!" Same sizes available 58 or 64.

How to get a boyfriend: Tips on How to find a boyfriend
Are you tired of being single and lonely? Is there a guy you secretly like? Although approaching a man feels odd, modern women are doing it. You can as well go after the man you like. He will not feel the same way you feel by force, unfortunately. But you should still give his feelings an opportunity to grow. Would you like to know
how to get a boyfriend
? Self confidence: The whole thing starts with how you feel about yourself. Having self confidence is a must if you are going to impress a guy you like. Confidence should come out clearly in the way you dress, walk, greet, talk, and gesticulate and so on. Be pretty: Another thing you must do is take care of your looks. If you use make-up, use it in moderation as some guys are attracted to natural looks in women. Choice of clothes also matters. Ensuring that you pick up clothing and accessories that complement your body shape and size is important. Even if you look at your best and are wearing a dull face the guy will feel intimidated. Approach him: If you like a guy that does not even notice you, approach him first. This is the only way to have his attention. In order to do this you must know where he likes to hang out. Girlfriends can help with tips as long as they are not interested in him too. Remember to be yourself no matter what. Show your availability: Most men will not date married women. If you are genuinely single then find a way to send him hints. Perhaps you can wear an accessory that depicts singlehood such as a single bracelet. Maybe you can send him a friend invitation on socio sites and of course make your profile read single. Appreciate him: Just like us many men like to be appreciated through compliments. Though you do not want to overdo it, showing sincere love for something he has or says is okay. Accept his friendship: Some guys like to take it slow and so they will be comfortable with being friends first. This might help you get to know each other without being in a passionate relationship. But there is a problem if the friendship grows too platonic. The romance touch might disappear and then you will fail on
how to find a boyfriend
How to get a boy to like you
Liking a guy and even making an effort to approach him does not guarantee that he will like you back. So it makes sense to avoid being so attached to just one guy as he might be seeing or eyeing some other girls. To increase your odds of being accepted you should join an activity that has many men. For instance you could join a community project, sports club, art class or even a bible study. If you are not into church and its teachings, go out to clubs you prefer and talk to different guys. If you do not want to meet many men in person then join dating sites or social networking sites. Before making a man your lover, though, ensure he is not married and that he is funny, smart and interested in being hooked up with a girl. It is important to let the man know what you are look for. Is it a short-term, casual relationship or a long-term relationship that will lead to marriage? It might also help to know whether he wants the same thing. Space is the most essential thing in a new friendship or relationship. Do not appear insecure to a point that you want to be around him all the time. Let him have his space to be with friends and do the things he like. But when you meet up for a cup of coffee ensure that he enjoys your company. When you are together you should smile a lot, make eye contact and dress decently. It is important to talk to guys who show interest in you. Talking or responding to someone shows you are approachable. The more you talk the closer you will become. The man will offer you his trust and admiration depending on whether you will be a good friend.
How to talk to a guy: What to talk about with a guy
Are you wondering
what to talk about with a guy
? The worst thing you can do is to talk as if you are too desperate to get linked up with him for marriage. It does not matter whether you are in your forties, thirties or twenties. Just portray confidence in the way you talk. Another thing men hate hearing is about your ex-boyfriends, especially in the first three dates. Instead you should focus on general talk about where you grew up, schools you have attended, your interests, and your career goals and so on. Though there are rich and educated men who do not mind women who like their wealth, you want to talk as an independent person. Even if you have little money you should value your self worth first then he will follow. Needles to mention, men like a woman who can cheer up, laugh at his jokes and smile often. Politeness is obviously the chief thing on
how to talk to a guy
Things to talk about with a guy
This is mostly done when a couple is about to get intimate. Dirty, sexy talk is meant to arouse desire for physical and emotional connection in bed. Some of you do not know
how to get a boy to like you
or they are afraid to do it. This is okay but you should realize that some men like to know whether they are doing it right.
Things to talk about with a guy
during intimacy can differ depending on the type of a man you are dating. If he is conservative he might think you are a slut because of talking dirty during sex. Maybe you can mince your words to just this: wow, yeah, like that and so on.
How to talk dirty to a guy over text
Before getting in the actual act you can both talk dirty over the phone or email messages? But you should still know
how to talk dirty to a guy over text
. Some may misinterpret it. If you are sending a dirty/nude picture of yourself, just be sure you trust him or else you might find your naked butt on a socio site. That can be extremely embarrassing and so you should be careful.

Nice little documentary on Einstein from the History Channel. I know they do some dubious shows, but this one is good. It covers his personal life as well as his scientific accomplishments.

The History Channel, eh?
Do they say anything about how Einstein might (just might) have been an alien robot created by time-travelling Nazis? After all, how could we ever prove that he wasn't???
It's just that I've actually been WATCHING the History Channel lately, and it's been nothing but pure BS on space aliens, the Nazi "Bell" project (good for either space travel or time travel, or both), etc., etc.
