You are right ("Our View | Penn State trustee Frazier did more harm than good with outburst," Sunday, March 17). I accept your central point that, at the board meeting on Thursday, I let my frustration get the better of me and as a result used language that was racially insensitive and inappropriate. For that, I apologize to Mr. (Bill) Cluck, to the Penn State community, and to my colleagues at Merck. In addition, I have called Mr. Cluck to relay personally my sincere apology.
One of my core values is to treat people equally based on their abilities and character. This is likewise a fundamental value at both Penn State and Merck. The words I used did not reflect that principle. I hope that people will see my comments for what they were: a momentary lapse in judgment in the heat of frustration, and not a reflection on what I truly believe and stand for. My commitment to racial equality, diversity and social justice is well-established, and deepens my regret that my poorly chosen words have distracted from the important issues at Penn State.
Another core value I share with my institutions is to acknowledge mistakes and to learn from them. This has been a learning experience for me. As a trustee and business leader, I will strive to remain professional and meet the high standards rightly expected of anyone in my position.
I hope that we can return to what you correctly described as "what really matters most: uplifting and assisting (Jerry) Sandusky's victims while moving Penn State and the broader community in a positive direction." There is nothing more important to our nation, to our communities, to our families and to the university than our children. Child sexual abuse is unacceptable anywhere in our society. As a community of humane and caring people, we must move forward by making the changes necessary at Penn State to protect our children.

Frazier is sorry for calling white people "white people" so there you have it. Once you learn to fake sincerity you have it made. It seems to be a whitewash.
Comment removed.
The problem for you is you don't have a vote in holding Frazier and the others accountable.
Comment removed.
You would proudly shout out your intentions to vote for the incumbent board members if you had a vote. With the size of your ego, your overwhelming self pride, and your pure hatred of JoePa you would not be able to help yourself in bragging about the fact. But you know if you lie about it you'll be discredited even further and be no better than those you accuse. But then again that is already the case by wishing my and others children would get raped.
Oh My! I love it when the toadies get uppity...This toadie is so full of morally righteous sanctimony that how could anyone doubt that he not only right, but is better than any of us in every possible way??!And here I thought poor little toadie was nothing more than a hopeless peon with no authority & even fewer friends.
Good to see so many new contributors joining in here...
The "godly, righteous one" has once again issued a nothing-statement. We must assume it was divinely inspired being devoid of substance as usual. Try praying. You know -- some of that pious, mumbo-jumbo stuff.
Why did Jerry retire?

There has been no news on this new Fire Pro game since it's announcement. I was just curious if anyone knew whether or not the project had been cancelled? And yes, I give a damn. Not sure why. Don't judge.
...This Thing Still Alive?
This just randomly came into my head today as well. I can only hope they canned it in favor of a true Fire Pro game release, but I know that's about as unlikely as it gets. If anything they probably cancelled it and that's the last we'll hear of it.
The last I saw of it was a video on Gamespot from PAX last year.
I guess the one caveat there would be is if we haven't seen it because they decided to go back and completely rework it so it is vastly improved over the terrible-looking game shown in the video linked above. I'd be willing to at least give it a look.
More evidence it's not dead (though pretty indirect)
Beyond Wreckateer, Microsoft's adding Avatar Famestar support to already released games Full House Poker, and A World of Keflings, and several upcoming games: Fire Pro Wrestling, Homerun Stars, and Avatar Motocross Madness
Is this the one that's supposed to be heavily avatar-centric or some bullshit like that?
I wonder if we can create our own avatar people within the game, as I don't want to use my avatar to wrestle.
Just brought the game, its an ok easy to pick up and play basic wrestling game....singles & tag, no gimmick steel cage, tables or anything like that.. which would've been cool but dumb since its your avatar or some made up one doing the matches.. but it has the tame old school WWF Arcade or WWE All-Stars type feel to it, you have to play to unlock so it'll be awhile before I can see all the moves and what not.. I guess not until there a kick-starter to hire AKI to make a pro-wrestling sandbox Create-a-promotion game where you can make all your favorite wrestlers, gimmick matches and story what not... there will be nothing but the "madden series" rated TV PG WWE #? games and goofy type arcade games like this...
Would be nice if a more open game where to come along and fill that void that's missing in wrestling games, but I'm not sure if the demand is even there, I'm sure people would love it..
I guess it's fun on a very basic level, but this is still a crushing disappointment. It's a shame because there are a few hints of holy shit honest to goodness FIRE PRO WRESTLING in there. The customization options seem to be leaning in that direction. Not as deep as a true Fire Pro game, but pretty impressive for what is clearly a throwaway avatar game.
The gameplay is just way too bouncy and janky (and obviously not like Fire Pro). I can't imagine we'll ever get a real console Fire Pro game, at least in the US, ever again. It would be a sad fucking shame if THIS is what the general public remembers this franchise as.
I just tried the Trial and I HATED it! The gameplay just feels... cheap.
Putting the hallowed Fire Pro name on this is an insult. Why couldn't they just port Fire Pro Wrestling D and maybe add online battles and the ability to share CAWs? That game is still amazing.
I almost was feverish to get this today. I was melancholic and went..."Well...Fire Pro Wrestling I ALWAYS here as some legendary Wrestling game...I am in the mood for one.....and cheap. Lets check it out Avatars aside."
Researched and watched. Nope, this isnt a XBLA game it is an Avatar Indie game that someone actually put time into.
Sad for the legends of fire pro wrestling sounds awesome.

BISMARCK, North Dakota — More than 1.2 million passengers came through North Dakota's eight commercial service airports last year, setting a record for a seventh consecutive year.
The state's western oil boom was a driving factor, with boardings up 23 percent from 2013 in Williston and up 68 percent in Dickinson. Both airports saw upgrades to regional jets and an expansion of service last year. Flights are now offered from both cities to Denver and Minneapolis, as well as from Williston to Houston.
"A large percentage of it is due to the natural resource development in western North Dakota," said Kelly Braun, manager of Theodore Roosevelt Regional Airport in Dickinson.
Great Lakes Airlines pulled out of Williston, Dickinson, Jamestown and Devils Lake early last year, citing a pilot shortage that the regional airline said was due to new federal rules requiring co-pilots to log more hours before being eligible to work for commercial airlines. SkyWest took over service in Jamestown and Devils Lake, while United and Delta now provide service to Dickinson and Williston's Sloulin Field International Airport.
"All eight airports now have jet service for the first time," said Kyle Wanner, director of the state Aeronautics Commission.
Total passenger numbers were up 9 percent from 2013. The airport in Grand Forks was the only one in the state that saw a drop in boardings, but the numbers are deceptive, especially given the fact that the airport lost United service to Denver in 2014, Executive Director Patrick Dame said.
"2013 was a record year. We were actually within 2 percent of matching or exceeding a record year in spite of the fact that we lost a carrier," Dame said. "We view it as a very positive situation that we weren't down more."
Air service has grown steadily in North Dakota in recent years, from an average of 52 airline departures per day to five destinations in 2007 to 75 daily departures to 12 destinations, according to the Aeronautics Commission.
Travelers can now fly from a North Dakota airport directly to Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Denver, Phoenix, Dallas, Minneapolis, Chicago, Atlanta, Orlando and Tampa, Florida, and Houston.
"Even without the oil, North Dakota has a strong agricultural economy, and the eastern part of the state has a strong research corridor," Wanner said. "Overall it was just a great (boardings) year for the state as a whole, and it can be attributed to multiple factors, not just oil."

The Rolling Stones complete European leg of tour at Roskilde Festival 2014
The Rolling Stones wrapped the latest European leg of their 14 On Fire tour with a two hour set on the first day of the Roskilde Festival in Denmark on July 3.
The band played a 19 track setlist of hits, starting with "Jumpin' Jack Flash", and ending with "Brown Sugar". They then re-appeared for an encore of "You Can't Always Get What You Want", for which they were joined by the Vocal Linene Choir, and "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction".
Mick Jagger said, in Danish, "We're proud to play the famous Roskilde Festival," while Keith Richards told the crowd: "It good to be here. Well, it's good to be anywhere really."
The concert came just days after the band paid tribute to the late soul singer, Bobby Womack, on their official website. The Rolling Stones also recently made headlines for filming a Monty Python sketch for the reunited comics' press conference.
The band's next scheduled date is Saturday, October 25 at the Adelaide Oval. They play nine shows in Australia and New Zealand which have been rescheduled from March.
The Rolling Stones played:
'Jumpin' Jack Flash'
'Let's Spend The Night Together'

President Zuma says SAfrica to write off Cuba's debt
Text of report by influential, privately-owned South African daily
Business Day website on 8 December
[Report by Sam Mkokeli: "Zuma Writes Off R1bn Cuban Debt"]
President Jacob Zuma has told Cuba that SA would write off 1.1bn rands
of debt owed by the impoverished island state, a move likely to attract
both criticism and praise as SA looks to cement relations with one of
the world's last remaining socialist states.
Mr Zuma, who wound up a two-day state visit yesterday, also announced
measures to boost trade and investment between the two countries.
This follows an announcement two years ago that SA would write off 900m
rands in Cuban debt. The sum was written off in respect of debt arising
from insurance cover provided to Cuba by the Export Credit Insurance
Corporation of SA for the export of diesel engines and pesticides in
Although Cuba played a substantial role in SA's liberation struggle and
its former leader Fidel Castro is seen as a folk hero in Pretoria, Mr
Zuma's largesse will be criticised by some.
The debt forgiveness echoes the controversial 10m rands donation made by
SA under former president Thabo Mbeki to Haiti, whose deposed leader
Jean-Bertrand Aristide later sought refuge in SA after he was toppled in
a coup.
Among the measures Mr Zuma announced yesterday are a 210m rands credit
line package to boost South African exports to Cuba as it battles to
meet its international obligations.
SA will also provide 70m rands in credit guarantees to Cuba, from the
government's Export Credit Insurance Corporation to insure exports to
the island.
There is also a "humble" 40m rands contribution to support Cuba with
seeds and fertilisers following the destruction caused by a hurricane in
SA will also provide R100m from the African Renaissance Fund for
purchases of South African goods.
"These facilities will help us remedy a worrying situation as South
African exports to Cuba had fallen from 82m rands in 2008 to only R1m
this year," Mr Zuma said in a speech prepared for an SA-Cuba Business
Forum yesterday.
He invited Cuba's businesses and skilled professionals to look for
opportunities in SA's infrastructure development programme, which will
see the government spending more than 787m rands in the next three
SA offered investment opportunities in vehicle components, capital
equipment, aerospace, chemicals, agroprocessing and information
Mr Zuma praised Cuba for the training of South African medical students,
and the contribution of Cuban doctors in SA.
Cuban President Raul Castro Ruz yesterday bestowed the prestigious
Honour of Jose Marti on Mr Zuma - the highest award Cuba can give to an
Mr Zuma praised the support Cuba offered SA in delivering essential
services in health, housing and public infrastructure.
"We acknowledge with gratitude the deployment of more than 400 Cuban
professionals such as architects, engineers, doctors and technical
experts, throughout our country.
"Cuban doctors have for many years provided service to people in need of
essential medical care.
"Of significant importance is the training of our young people as
medical professionals, through Cuba's generous offer of 80 scholarships
each year," he said.
Mr Zuma emphasised the need for closer ties, saying Cuba would play a
"central role" in the African National Congress's centenary celebrations
in 2012, "given the deep historical ties during the struggle for
"We should work together to cement relations, and take forward the
ideals that our national heroes and freedom fighters such as comrades
Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Oliver Tambo, Nelson Mandela and others
worked so hard to entrench."

When To End It, When To Stay?
EFT practitioner Alina Frank used her knowledge and expertise in EFT to create a program on coming to a decision on whether to stay or go. In the following Q&A she explains how it works to aid in making a critical decision on ending a relationship.
What are the 5 lessons in this course?
All the lessons in the When To End It, When Stay online course are designed to take one from the personal to the problems that are more global and universal. There is a focus on working through childhood issues that effect romantic relationships. Another that focuses on what's happening currently in the relationship you are in and the early signs of trouble. It's all based on the work we've done with ourselves as well with thousands of clients. A marriage and family therapist who saw the unveiling of the model we use at a conference came up to us at the end and said she'd never seen anything that capture conflict in a relationship quite as well as we did in that model.
How does EFT help in decision making if someone is choosing whether to leave a relationship or not?
EFT (also known as the tapping technique) access the subconscious mind and allows one to find the many connections and associations that have led to both patterns of dysfunction in relationship as well as why we attract a certain type of person as a partner to begin with. Once that's discovered and resolved through the When To End It, When To Stay course then the decision becomes very clear. Leaving a relationship should never be about fleeing but about going towards a better life. Staying in a relationship should never be about maintaining status quo and not upsetting the apple cart as it were. Neither will produces, attract, or promote a blissful life for either person involved.
What kind of homework assignments are included in the course?
The homework assignments are based on the tapping. We clearly explain EFT tapping and guide you through the process of releasing the blocks that you are instructed to find in each lesson. It also helps with keeping you motivated and accountable after all this is a self-help course.
How did you design the material and contents for the course with the intention of helping a person make the right choice for them?
The way we went about designing the program came from both our personal and professional backgrounds. Both Craig and I were in relationships for nearly 20 years that weren't optimal for us. We were stuck is dysfunctional spin cycles with those other people and if we had the information we share in this course we could have made the decision to leave sooner. Our pain and anguish has served the world well though because we both now help others with this process and feel we know all to well the confusion that's present.
In your opinion, what decision drivers lead a person to choose to stay?
The decision to stay is clear once you work through your own issues and can observe the relationship from a neutral places without all the layers of hurt and pain. A few things happen that make the answer obvious, one is that your partner will likely change. If the love is still there underneath it all then the decision to stay is the path.

White Oak ISD OKs bond proposal for new high school, other items

Computer Locked up, restarted and now wont boot
Hi Guys,
This is my first time on 7 forums, so please bear with me. I realize that my thread name isnt the best, but I didnt know where else to put this. Mods, please feel free to move this thread as you see fit. My wife was playing TF2 with me a few days ago when her computer locked up, and I mean completely locked up. No task manager...no nothing. The mouse wouldn't even move. I did a hard reset on the computer. It posted past the bios and I got a blinking white cursor on a black screen and the computer seemed stuck there. Fast forward a bunch of trouble shooting.... I installed an old IDE drive I had laying around and got win7 on it. Computer boots into win7 (ide drive) and I can open "My Computer" and see the SATA drive and all the files on it....strange I boot off of the win7 disc and do "startup repair"...it does...something... Now I can boot and select the IDE drive and it brings up the windows master boot record, which wasnt available till after i ran the repair for the win7 disc. Now I can select the windows that is installed on the SATA drive. Windows loads and everything seems to run normally. So I unplug the old IDE drive and reboot and I get the message "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER" So I restart and boot from the win7 disc and run repair again, this time with the IDE HD unplugged. The "live disc" doesnt see my windows installation on the SATA drive, but I click repair anyway...and it does....something. So I restart and get the same error. I tried clicking "Load Drivers" that is available from the repair screen but I cant find a driver for the specific hard drive (SP2504C)...so I dont do that. I tried loading the startup repair and going into the CMD and running the command "bootrec /fixmbr" and the prompt spit out "command succesfully completed"....but the computer still gives me the "DISK BOOT FAILURE BLAH BLAH" errror message after the post. Im normally pretty good at fixing hardware/software problems on windows but this one has really thrown me for a loop. I could probably just wipe the drive and reformat and I bet it would work, but I would really like to solve it plus it will take forever to re-download all of her steam games and other stuff. If anyone has any tips, advice or things I should try, please let me know. |

Turns out I had partition problems.
Through some information found in the tutorials listed above and a few other places, i was able to use diskpart to set the active partition. Then I was able to run startup repair from the install DVD to fix the boot manager. Everything is working properly now. thanks for pointing me in the right direction. |

First of all as a new member you could not believe how many hours I have sat here gathering information from all of the different forums. You all do a great job and I thank you. I received a money tree plant (I realize that it must have an official name but do not know it!) as a wedding gift some years ago. I have been trying to propragate? the plant to pass on to other's as a gift. Problem: I do not know what I am doing. I thought my Mother used to just stick some like this in a jar of water and get roots. Well I put my cutting in water for a while (months) and it did not die but just sat there. Next I tried planting the cutting. The cutting is about 8 inches long and has now grown two little nodules in the V of the cutting I took. It has been planted in dirt for over three months now. The whole process has taken six months. I would appreciate some help on what my next step might be in handling this gangly cutting that has made very slow progress. Also if anyone knows the correct name of this plant I would love to know it. If a picture is needed just let me know. Thank you! |

Are you talking about the plant that produces the pods of seeds that look like silver dollars when dry? I THINK it is called "lunaria" - and the pods are what is used to reproduce, I think - well, actually the seeds in the pod. If wrong plant, sorry. |
If it is the Lunaria they reseed themselves. Or you can save the seed and plant where ever you like. Al |

i would love to get some of this plant. my husband always asks if we have a money tree in the yard! LOL:) Anybody willing to share? I only have seeds at this point.PLMK |
I just happened to buy one at the store today. I have no idea about propigation, but it's botanical name is Pachnia aquatica. You might consider googling based on that. I hope that helps. |

Ah, a good example to make an effort to learn the scientific name of a plant. Speaking of which, the good ol' jade tree (Crassula ovata) is also known as the money tree. |
Thanks for helping me identify the name of the plant in question. I looked up the various suggestions and it turned out to be a "pachira_aquatica." Thank you aes123. Now I have uploaded a picture of how my propagation of this plants looks. Can I cut off the two original green leaves? Tne new plant is not dying and does have two area of growth but after being in soil for four months I thought it would grow more. Any suggestions or do I just continue to water, feed and talk to it. Thanks. |

"This is a great summer recipe!! I chose this because my mother is on a low cholesterol diet. We were looking for something healthy and low-fat and low-cholesterol. The yogurt combined with the cinnamon and the natural sugar in the apples and pineapple make this a sweet tasting salad without paying for it."

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.

U.S. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton is on a three-day visit to
Myanmar, from November 30 to December 2, making her the first
Secretary of State to visit the country since John Foster Dulles more
than half a century ago. Obama announced the visit during the ASEAN
and EA summits.... (missing something?) [make it clear that this is
the highest official to visit Myanmar since 1962]
Clinton is on a visit designed to gauge the intentions of Myanmar's
new, military-supported, civilian government. The regime has taken
some steps that may signal a willingness to reform and bring a measure
of freedom and democracy in the country, and it is Clinton's mission
to ascertain whether or not these steps warrant a deeper engagement
with Myanmar and whether or not sanctions might be lifted in the
near-term to signal a rapprochement between Myanmar and the West. [not
sure that its her job..i'm pretty sure the US has already decided to
engage Mynanmar despite the possible lack of substance to reforms.
Not sure we even need to discuss democracy here. Possibly sanctions
may be discussed, but that will not be made public.]She is set to meet
with President Thein Sein and other government officials [any current
military officials? this will be particularly key to substantive
discussions], with whom she will not only talk about the reform
efforts that they have been undertaking, but she will also try to prod
the regime away from dealing with North Korea and bringing more
transparency to that bilateral relationship. This move could score the
U.S. important diplomatic points as this would signal progress from
the part of the regime and also would increase North Korea's
international isolation[not that myanmar really provide much political
weight when it comes to DPRK unless they are selling each other
contraband...]. After meeting with government officials, Clinton will
visit Yangon where she will meet with opposition leader Aung Suu Kyi,
who has given her approval to Washington's overture to Naypyidaw.
Though Clinton's trip has raised expectations that this signals a
rapprochement between the U.S. and Myanmar, she has stated that this
is more of a fact-finding mission and further improvements in the
relationship depend on the steps that Naypyidaw may take in the coming
months.[this is kinda repetitive] (I think if we are talking about
Clinton's visit, we may word it as less empahsis about her mission to
examine democratic process, but more on the mission for reasserting
U.S engagement effort. As to me, focusing on her guage of the
government process is kinda U.S centric tone, and underestimate the
significance of the step) [totally agree with ZZ on this. assume that
US has already decided to move forward...which it has, otherwise she'd
not be there]
Let's describe about Obama administration's attempt and how it first
with Asia engagement
For the last couple of years Myanmar has engaged in a policy of
`reform' and `opening up', taking moves that the West had demanded for
years (all the steps listed comes after 2011, and can't recall any
significicant move before it), [yeah agree. but the elections were pre
2011, believe that was the first major move]uch as the release of
political prisoners, including Suu Kyi, easing media restrictions and
granting its citizenry democratic freedoms. These changes have raised
mixed responses from observers, with some being extremely skeptical of
these moves while others being very optimistic about the future.
Nevertheless, the steps taken so far have been carefully calculate
moves, designed by Myanmar's leaders not so much to relinquish power
but to bolster it by opening the country to foreign investment,
improving relations with the west with a view to balancing Chinese
influence and strengthening its legitimacy by promoting internal
cohesion, for which it has made peace overtures to ethnic rebels and
also has made efforts to integrate Suu Kyi into the political process,
preventing her from being a rallying figure for dissidents demanding
sanctions on the regime and inducing her to play the political game by
Naypyidaw's rules.[you're making at least two different points here.
break up] Moreover, the `reforms'[just reforms, "reforms" makes this
seem like this was written by an NGO. you're not writing an op/ed]
that so far have taken place have been half-baked and gradual, since
not all political prisoners have been freed and media restrictions
still remain, while Myanmar's democratic constitution guarantees the
military a 25% representation in parliament. (suggest we focus on what
U.S see importance from Myanmar, instead of what we think Myanmar
needs to do in terms of reform)
China has been following developments in Myanmar, as the latter is a
strategically important neighbor. Myanmar sits on a strategic corridor
that links the southwestern Chinese city of Yunnan to the
strategically important Indian Ocean, which could help China bypass
the Straits of Malacca and save time and transportation costs for
energy sources, [yeah mention pipelines. crude (22 million
tons/annual capacity) and natural gas (12 billion cubic meters/annual
capacity) currently under construction]as well as making its supply
more dependable. significant to mention Pipeline and energy security
to China Myanmar also possesses energy sources of its own, mineral and
hydrological, as well as a plethora of other natural resources. China
has sought to develop some of these industries, especially the
Myitsone dam which would have added to China's energy mix.[it's not a
dead project.] Further, Myanmar's perennial troubles with its ethnic
minorities pose a threat to the stability of the southwestern province
of Yunnan.[not sure that this is the case. i think a bigger concern
is Burmese refugees]
So far, China had been able to keep Myanmar's leaders close (the
western isolations and sanctions have made Chinese able to expand its
influence in Myanmar, which to U.S a lost sphere), giving them
international support while getting back cooperation in the
development of vital infrastructure. Nevertheless, Naypyidaw has
realized the need to balance China's growing influence in the region,
especially as Myanmar has a sizable Chinese minority of its own
(ethnic issue is only part of the reasoning). noted that since Kogang
incidents, Beijing have been carefuly examining the steps Myanmar is
taken and was concerning any move that may get it caught off guard,
and this has been particularly rising after U.S announced dual track
in Myanmar in 2009 and the the election with the possible dilluting
its influence, and that future move by Naypyidaw, particularly with
western partners would represents a greater uncertainty and
competition.. let's specifically list China's concern of an openned up
Myanmar, and then transit to the part talking about Naypyidaw's
steps. During 2011 Naypyidaw has taken carefully calculated steps
designated to put some distance between them and Beijing, signaling to
the international community their willingness to engage in reform and
to do business,[what about Japanese and Thai econ interest there, of
which there is plenty? China was not their only choice, just most
politically charged] while at the same time making sure that Beijing
doesn't feel overly slighted. The recent visit by General Min Aung
Hlaing to Beijing, just two days prior to Clinton's visit to Myanmar
is a telling sign of the careful diplomacy that Naypyidaw is engaging
in. And also let's focus what Beijing's move in part to response to
the change
Myanmar is on a campaign to break out of its international isolation
and dependence on China and open the gates to integration with the
global economy (equaly important could be Myanmar's power play between
big contries using its important position/location and international
image, and even reducing much pressure to manuvure its domestic
issues, such as ethnics). While it needs the inflow of foreign
business and an increase in its legitimacy,[not sure that legitimacy
is an issue at this point, with ASSK and NLD joining the club, and
rebels in discussions, they've pretty much got it made. Perhaps in
the case of substantive opening up, they will need to build their
domestic legitimacy, but i feel that is not an issue now. They've
needed to build their international legitimacy, sure] Naypyidaw is
taking a measured approach to opening to secure it remains in power.
Sitting next to both India and China, as well as to ASEAN, it needs to
make a careful job of balancing the several powers interested in the
country, particularly Beijing. Still, if its strategy pays off
Naypyidaw will benefit in many ways, since it could embark in a
project of controlled modernization akin to that of China, gradually
brining in business and capital, bolstering its legitimacy while
enriching the elites. Also, a normalization of relations with the West
would help the regime allay fears of an American-lead invasion of the
country, (hmm?)[yeah, not sure this is a realistic enough issue to
mention] while improving its bargaining position viz a viz China.
Though Beijing has reasons to be concerned, as Myanmar's opening
threatens its privileged position within the country and adds to the
notion that the U.S. is encircling China, Myanmar has an interest in
continuing relations with China, not only for investment and security
reasons, but to also hedge against American influence.

A high school delinquent and a main character in Toradora. So called pet/dog by Taiga Aisaka
One of the main characters of Toradora! Ryuuji is a 17 year old highschool student who is able to intimidate and scare almost everyone because of his looks, inherited from his mobster father, but in reality he is a nice, responsible and smart guy who lives alone with his mother. He is excellent at cooking and sewing and likes to keep everything clean (nearly to the point of obsession). He also has a crush on Minori Kushieda. He also appears in the series of short episodes Toradora SOS!
At the beginning of the story, Ryuuji lives a normal life with his mother and his pet parrot Inko-chan. He is Yusaku Kitamura's best friend and has a crush on Minori Kushieda, an eccentric girl who is in his class, but is unable to express his feelings to her.
His normal life comes to an end when Taiga Aisaka moves next door to him. At first when they meet they do not get along, but upon discovering that they're both best friends with each other's crushes (Yusaku and Minori) they decide to help each other to get into a relationship with them.
As the story progresses they become closer and closer, to the point where Ryuuji becomes some sort of a servant to Taiga and does pretty much everything she tells him to do. He also meets Ami Kawashima, a new student who seems to have a romantic interest in him; he is ignorant to this fact however and sometimes hurts her without noticing.
During a Christmas party, and thanks to Taiga's help, Ryuuji is able to confess his love for Minori, only to be rejected. He doesn't give up though and continues to pursue his chances to be with her.
This ends when during a ski trip he learns from Taiga (who confused him with Kitamura) that she is in love with him. Conflicted, he decides to ignore it and act like nothing happens.
Meanwhile, his mother gets sick while working hard to provide him with enough money to go to college. Feeling guilty he temporarily takes his mother's job at a bakery store against her wishes while at the same time trying to figure out his feelings for Taiga.
One day he and taiga are forced by their friends to reveal their true feelings for each other. Taiga escapes the situation and he follows her, when he finally finds her they try to confess but are stopped when their parents find out they've been disobeying them so they decide to run away and get married.
They're not able to fulfill this dream though, since Ryuuji feels guilty for leaving his mom, so he decides to go to his grandparent's house and tricks his mother to go there and they reconcile. Upon doing this, they go back home, but Taiga decides to leave so she can make up with her own mother without telling Ryuuji or any of their friends.
In the end, Taiga comes back on the last day of school, and he is finally able to tell her that he loves her.

Does anyone know if a water softening system can be installed in an individual apartment without affecting the other apartments? |

It depends on how the plumbing is connected. Some complexes have common loops, with several apartments on one line for hot and one line for cold. Others are plumbed like houses, with individual supplies coming off the main, then splitting to the hot and cold supplies. Do you have your own water heater? |
- Posted by maidmarion (My Page) on Tue, Feb 1, 05 at 0:07
lazygardens, sorry it has taken so long to answer. I had forgotten I posted a topic on this forum. Yes, I have my own water heater. |
- Posted by lazygardens (My Page) on Wed, Feb 2, 05 at 21:41
OK - it sound slike you might have a separate system: 1) GET PERMISSION FROM THE OWNERS! 2) Call a plumber to come evaluate the possibility and give you a quote. 3) recognize that, in most states, that unit will become the property of the landlord when you leave ... it's "attached". |
you dont you ask your kind neighbors to help you |

"Works great"
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I'm using 2.01 on a C2D Macbook and it works great. I currently have it playing the XP Hardware Insert and XP Hardware Removal sounds as they do the job nicely. Extremely bizarre IMHO to by default have no sound play when you insert something into a Mac. Anyway I can confirm that A) it works on new Intel hardware and B) you can in fact choose which sounds you want. For Free that isn't too bad.

It was Day 3, Friday, 22 January. I was told to expect a report from Global Rescue around five o'clock that afternoon. Dial, who underwrote the entire deal, and I, who organized it, contacted the private international search and rescue organization the day before. Dial was a long-time client of Global, which he used whenever he or friends needed to get out of tough, remote, treacherous places fast. Dial was in Reno and by coincidence, bumped into the head of Global Rescue, whom he knew. Both men were attending the annual Safair Club International convention, an affluent gathering of big-game hunters and sporting purveyors from around the world. Global could provide a penultimate rescue and evacuation, within hours, should we wish: startling results...at a startling price. If--and I mean IF--the conditions warranted, there would have been no question that Dial would have opened his wallet wide. But the conditions did not warrant.
I was in constant touch with Dial while simultaneously fielding developments on the ground in Haiti. Up to the last, before contracting Global, I had ascertained that conditions remained unwarrant for a full-blown mission with eight or nine Land Rovers bearing 16 or more armed commandos. The reason was, we still had no place to take the 40 adults and children we were committed to save. The kids had already been scared to death by the earthquake; we didn't need to traumatize them needless with an Arnold Schwarzeneggar-type rescue. I was weighing out the now fast-flowing information coming to me out of Haiti, while dealing with Global's Boston-based headquarters and choosing from their extensive menu of evacuation/rescue options.
After consulting with Dial, we came to a decision. We'd have Global send in, the following morning, two teams of two, bringing fresh water, rice, non-perishable food and basic medical supplies. One team, an armed guard and a medic (indeed, I learned this was Globals' top emergency medical man) would remain with the children; the medic would evaluate each adult and child and prepare a full report on their physical condition. The other team would escort Father Bien-aime to his second congregation, in Tapio, about an hour southwest of Port-au-Prince over mountaneous terrain to ascertain the viability of moving the 40 children and adults to that location. The mission would commencedawn on Friday, January 22--Day 3.

There had been a constant flood of calls back and forth between Jim and me, arranging wire transfers, confirming what supplies would be needed once we relocated the orphanage, and most important, getting a sense of Ouanaminthe. By midday of Day 3, Jim and I knew that if Tapio did not work out, if indeed it proved impossible to support the group of 40, Ouanaminthe would be our only option. I couldn't get past the fact that Tapio would have to supplied from Port-au-Prince--virtually impossible, in view of the known vast shortages experienced by the people of that ravaged city. Further complicating things was the high, rural mountain road to Tapio--and the fact that Father Bien-aime's car had been destroyed by the earthquake. Jim and I focused entirely on Tapio. The final decision would have to be made by the priest. As far as I was concerned, it was Ouanaminthe--or nothing. And Jim and Dial agreed.
The report failed to come in by five o'clock the afternoon of the third day, as I had anticipated. The minutes ticked away, then the hours. Global Rescue is a 24/7 operation. "Has the report come in?" I asked when, by six o'clock, I had become restless. Then it was eight, nine...the house was quiet, the dogs were sleeping, the night was dark and time moved so painfully slow.
Finally the phone rang.
"The report's just in," Ted from Global said. "The children are fine. Our medic also checked the adults and a few other children in the neighbor that the priest was concerned about. A few superficial scraps and bruises, but all fine. Our medic provided normal first aid where needed. The two you had a concern over got a full medical evaluation. Oral antibiotics were left with the priest for one child, the other needed some antibiotic ointment and bandages. There are 40 in the group and they are living in the backyard of a house on the outskirts of Port-au-Prince. Our guys said the neighborhood appears to be safe. They are living in makeshift tents from bedspreads. We left enough food and fresh water for four days.
Enough food and water to get through Monday...
Our two men that escorted the priest to Tapio--their report is not so good. The road to Tapio is not good, mostly unpaved, and it goes up a very steep hill--so steep, in fact, that you have to have a four-wheel drive vehicle to get up it. They got to Tapio and, well--it seems it's nothing more than a field. No water, not shelter except for a few makeshift buildings, no plumbing or sewage. The field is overgrown--it would take, our people estimate, at least month to clear the field and set up a temporary camp. It's no good."
With the click of the phone I knew it was indeed Ouanaminthe--or nothing.
It was Sunday, January 24, when I went up to see Jim at his house, the day he would leave New Hampshire for the Dominican Republic. Saturday had been quiet--we knew all we could know at that point and there was nothing to be done until Jim got to Haiti. We had tried to reach the priest in vain, but were hesitant to say much. Until Jim got to Ouanaminthe, and looked for a rental house, we didn't have anything substantial to say--and there was no use worrying the priest 'til we had something solid. Jim was ready to head out to Portland, Maine, to the airport. It was a beautiful day--bright, blue cloudless sky and warm for January--what we call a "weather-breeder" in these parts, which should have alerted my suspicions...and I would soon discover.
Jim was packed, ready to go--and incredibly excited. He would, he said, be in the thick of it--that he knew; but he would be doing exactly what he wanted his whole life long--a life dedicated to children in distress, in social services, helping the underpriviledged and in this mission, most assuredly saving lives. One thing, though, really had him jumping. As a lark, he had done a websearch for "Ouanaminthe" and "Orphanage" and discovered a place called Hope for Haiti, some woman named Danita Estrella.
"You've got to get in touch with this woman," he said. "She's our answer, I just know it! Hope for Haiti has an office in Florida but it's closed. Keep trying...we've got to reach this woman. I'm tell you, I just know she's our answer. If she'll take Father and the children in, and let them stay at her orphanage until we get something set up. Go onto her website [www.danitaschildren.org] It's fantastic. Keep calling her. If she'll take the kids, we can get them out of there Tuesday, Wednesday latest. Jim had already arranged to get a truck and men with guns to go to Port-au-Prince to bring the children to Ouanaminthe.
When I got home, I called Hope for Hait but alas, the phone recording...and left a long message for Danita. That evening Jim called...he was at an airport hotel. His flight was cancelled...weather in New York...he was on the first flight out in the morning and if all went well, he could make the connection to the Dominican Republic by the skin of his teeth.
Very early the morning of Monday, Day 6, two miracles occured within moments of one another.
First, Jim made the connection from the early morning flight from Portland to his scheduled flight to the Dominican Republic from JFK. He was on the way!
What happened next has no explanation, no reasoning. I was driving along a wooded, dirt backroad on a quick errand, a road where there is absolutely no cellphone reception--when my cellphone rang.
"This is Danita," the voice on the other end said as clearly as if it was next door.
At that precise moment, our mission changed entirely, incredibly and beyond reckoning--guided, I am quite certain, by the hand of God.
To be continued...

FLORIDA at 18-6 (.750) no games left to play Tennessee at 15-5 (.750) two games left to play Go GATORS! ,WESGATORS
If I doesn't rain out, looks like they have to get both games in order to beat us. Split the two, and we have a higher percent!
We can't finish with the same percentage points unless they didn't play either of the last two games, but with a DH scheduled for tonight that shouldn't be a problem. But if they both ended at .750, it would be a split championship. Go GATORS! ,WESGATORS
The only other negative scenario would be if Tennessee won the 2nd game tonight and tomorrow's game got rained out. But as long as Missouri wins the series, FLORIDA gets another championship. Go GATORS! ,WESGATORS
Mizzou up 1-0, top 3. They are not throwing Thomas again. Their #2 Hudson is not very good, so I'd be surprised if she can hold down the Tennessee offense for long.
I think I have this straight ... If Missouri wins tomorrow, we are SEC champs. If Tennessee wins OR the game is rained out, Tennessee is Sec Champ. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

When Rochelle at Lucky Lucille hinted at a 1940's sewalong for February, my interest was piqued. I have a lot of vintage patterns, but none from the '40's, so I thought it might be fun to draft something. I did some online searching and found a couple of possibilities, including this one on etsy. I decided it was a good shape for Daughter No2, and in the spirit of the time, we decided not to buy anything for it. The fabric was found in my stash, as were the buttons. They're the cutest little wooden buttons my mother sent me last year (at least, I think it was last year…)
The pattern drafting was fairly painless, I raised the neck and added revers, the facing looks like that on a waistcoat. This blouse is longer than that in the original pattern, because daughter wears jeans and skirts with a much, much lower waistband than they would have ever dreamed of 70 years ago! Saying that though the overall style has translated well. It has hints of it's heritage, but certainly doesn't look that old!
I used flat fell seams throughout and neatened the edge of the facing by turning under 5mm and stitching it down. I'll have some more info and photos on the blog soon.
Feb 17, 2013, 10.33 AMby omgdora
Oh wow, I love it! I think I'm going to try to draft one myself based on my bodice block! The collar and the hem are so elegant. As is your lovely daughter. :)

… Read the restWhether you believe the Philae probe's landing on a speeding comet is a monumental advance or a colossal waste might depend on your religion, according to a University of Dayton researcher.
Many in the space community see the landing as a critical step in colonizing the solar system, such as NASA Planetary Science Division Director Jim Green who said, "I truly believe that a single-planet species will not survive long. It's our destiny to move off this planet." (see CNET article)
Yet Evangelical Protestants are much surer Jesus will return in the next 40 years than that humans will make significant strides in space exploration, according to research by University of Dayton political science assistant professor Joshua Ambrosius.
"Evangelicals have been hesitant to recognize the discoveries of modern science — from evolutionary origins to climate change," Ambrosius said. "The data show that this overall attitude extends into space."
Ambrosius used data from the General Social Survey and three Pew surveys to compare knowledge, interest and support for space exploration among Catholics, Evangelicals, Mainline Protestants, Jews, Eastern religions and those with no religion.

HoopsHype CBA rumors
One reason is that NBA teams have cost certainty until 2017 based on the most recent collective bargaining agreement (CBA). There is a slim chance the CBA could last until 2022. However, that is doubtful due to the NBA's upcoming new media deal driving up the valuation of small-market teams, such as the Sacramento Kings and (drum roll) the Bucks. The Fields of Green
The same, Silver said, holds for the change to the NBA age limit he has repeatedly indicated he will pursue. "We raised it in the last bargaining session, which led to the compromise and us ending the lockout [in November 2011]," Silver said. " ... We'd like the opportunity to try to convince the players that it's in all of our interests to move to a 20-year-old age limit and move away from one-and-done. Improved college ball is better for the NBA, and it will also mean a better NBA with kids coming one year out of college. "When we finished the last collective bargaining agreement, we had a so-called list of 'B issues,' and we agreed we would address those issues once we got the season up and running. A collective bargaining agreement is like any contract. It can be amended at any time as long as both parties agree." ESPN.com
A distant third behind the NFL and baseball through the 1980s, the NBA is now a behemoth. With the owners slicing the players' 58-42 share of revenue to 50-50 in the 2011 collective bargaining agreement, profits and franchise values are ramping up. In an eye-popping bequest to his successor, Adam Silver's first major piece of business will be to negotiate new network TV deals amid projections that rights fees could double from the current $930 million a season. Forbes.com
The 2011 labor talks were a masterpiece for Stern, despite the fact he was no longer the absolute ruler he had been for 20 years, when Bulls/White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf, a force behind the scenes in baseball, didn't attend NBA meetings, saying everything was already decided. Two sources in the room described an exchange between Stern and the Clippers' Donald Sterling at an owners meeting in Las Vegas in the run-up to the lockout. Pressed by Stern for his opinion, Sterling demurred, then blurted, "I would fire you. You're great at marketing but you're not tough enough with the union." Forbes.com
...There was real pressure from new breed owners like Dallas' Mark Cuban and an insurgent small market coalition. Stern adeptly made their draconian demands his and delivered, staying well away from a January drop-dead date by sheer sleight of hand. With the players looking at seven weeks of lost paychecks, counting start-up time, Stern offered to make three of them up if they settled in time to start on Christmas. They did. Forbes.com
With the economy struggling and ad budgets slashed in 2001, the NBA was in the wrong place at the wrong time when talks began for a post-MJ TV deal. NBC's Bob Ebersol, who had walked away from the NFL four years before, offered a 33% cut from $1.8 billion to $1.2 billion--going that high only because Stern had invited the Walt Disney Co. into the process. Noting Disney's losses from televising NFL games at sky-high rates, media analyst Brian Schecter told the New York Times, "If David Stern pulls this out of his hat, he's a true magician of TV rights negotiations." Stern pulled a six-year deal averaging $767 million out of his hat--with Disney paying $485 million of it, 50% more than NBC offered--taking the bulk of his package to (gasp) cable with ABC airing fewer games and only two rounds of the playoffs and the rest on ESPN and Turner. Daring as it seemed at the time ("Cable is said to muscle out NBC for NBA rights," said the New York Times headline), it carried the league to the brink of a better day. Forbes.com
How much has the new collective bargaining agreement benefited the owners? One league source said several teams are already projecting profits without knowing what their attendance figures will be this season, and at least one of those teams is assuredly destined to be in the lottery. Bleacher Report
NBA Commissioner David Stern maintained the 2011 collective bargaining agreement is making an impact on the league's competitive balance. "We are trying to make the league more and more competitive," Stern said. USA Today Sports
First, let's examine why this is happening now. The answer is because the lack of an HGH test has finally become embarrassing to the league and union. HGH is a substance with undeniable potential to help NBA players. It's widely discussed and available from any number of doctors and clinics. And Olympians have been tested for it since 2004. And yet the powers that be in the major North American leagues clung to the theory that the test was not reliable. That argument was always weak. The chief science officer at the United States Anti-Doping Agency, Larry Bowers, testified before Congress recently that HGH tests are so good that "the chances of an athlete who has not used synthetic growth hormone testing positive are comparable to the chance of that same athlete being struck by lightning during his or her lifetime." He added that those questioning the tests were "lawyers, not scientists." ESPN.com
But the truth is only a tiny handful of athletes have ever failed HGH tests, and there's no reason to assume NBA players would be any different. ESPN.com
During collective bargaining, the topic of biological passports was never broached, according to a person familiar with the negotiations. So it came as news to the union that the HGH blood test was viewed by the commissioner as a "precursor" to biological passports, since that aspect of drug policy was never negotiated. So it isn't necessarily that the players object to biological passports, which are baseline measurements from which departures can indicate the use of performance-enhancing drugs. The subject was never negotiated, and in order for it to happen, the players would have to agree to it. CBSSports.com
The NBA and National Basketball Players Association are close to an agreement to test players' blood for human growth hormone (HGH), according to sources with direct knowledge of the talks. Testing could begin as soon as the 2013-14 season. The NBA has long had HGH on its list of banned substances, but has never tested for it, because doing so means collecting players' blood, which the union has never allowed, and because there was little agreement about the test's reliability. ESPN.com
Terms of the 2011 NBA collective bargaining agreement created a committee to hash out the particulars of HGH testing. Progress had been slow, until recently. There has also been pressure from the World Anti-Doping Agency, which chided the NBA for "gaps" in their testing program last fall, as well as the U.S. Congress. In late 2012, Rep. Elijah Cummings called delaying HGH testing over concerns about the test "incredibly ridiculous." ESPN.com
"It's my business," Iguodala said. "That was part of the whole reason why so much of what happened, happened. Where we come from, guys aren't used to having what we have, and having access to it. So something like the union, it may not be as important to guys as it should be. But it's kind of like, we have to wake the guys up. They've got to have awareness. "I think guys have concerns and questions, but as long as those checks are coming in, they can get full. They can get satisfied. There's something that's bigger than just us. We've got to move forward for the guys coming in, and the next collective bargaining, and the one after that, and the one after that. "You have to set an environment of, this is how we handle business. We're going to get, the stereotypes are going to be, a bunch of African- American men, as long as they're getting paid, they're going to be fine with that. But we want to make it known where it's common that we care about our business, and we're involved. I think I can help in that area." NBA.com
There are a number of issues yet to be resolved from the lockout, including the "B List" non-economic issues. The league is hoping to get an agreement with the union on a new drug test for Human Growth Hormone. Commissioner David Stern said last month that he believes a deal will be worked out with the union on a blood test for HGH by next season. The NBPA has balked at making an agreement on HGH, but with the National Football Players Association and the Major League Baseball Players Association well down the road toward agreements for new HGH tests, the handwriting seems on the wall for the basketball union. NBA.com
But the dramatic drop from 11 first-round picks traded two years ago to just one this year illustrates the impact of the escalating luxury taxes that will take effect next year. Players making less are suddenly worth more. Much more. "Teams right now are scared of money," one league executive said recently. Akron Beacon Journal

That at least is the premise of products designed to limit the amount of glare and ultraviolet light that emanates from the increasing number of portable computing devices.
Among the solutions are so-called gaming or computer glasses designed to eliminate glare and UV light. The Konnet Care Vision Protective Shield puts the solution on the device with a shield it says protects your eyes from 99.99% of ultraviolet (UV) light.
The Shield's distributor, Interworks Unlimited, says the product prevents UV blue light from penetrating your eyes as you stare at the screen, shielding them from harmful UVt MAX that it says can cause cataracts, Myopia (near-sightedness), Macular Degeneration, headaches, Chloasma (skin pigmentation), wrinkles, and dry red eyes.
The Konnet Shield also delivers standard scratch, drop, and glare protection for devices, including iPhone 5, iPad, Galaxy, and others smartphones and tablets. Pricing for iPad Air, iPad 1, 2, 3 and any 10-inch+ tablets is $29.99, or $24.99 for 7-inch tablets and $19.99 for smartphone Shields.
Among its customers the company says Taiwan's Education and Science (in cooperation with the Ministry of Education) and Hong Kong International School have begun bundling the Vision Protection Shield on tablets used at school. The Shield is also being used by NBA Hong Kong with all their LED devices.
