Philippine coal miner halts operations after pit collapse kills 3
Published on Feb 14, 2013 3:24 PM
MANILA (REUTERS) - The Philippines' biggest coal miner, Semirara Mining Corp, has suspended operations at a mine in the central part of the country after three workers were killed and seven left missing when part of the mine collapsed.
Thirteen workers were initially trapped when the west wall of Semirara's Panian pit gave way late on Wednesday. Three were later rescued, said George San Pedro, resident manager at the coal mine.
"The management is in the process of determining the cause of the accident," Mr San Pedro said in a statement. "Meanwhile, it has stopped operations to ensure the safety of all its personnel."
Shares of Semirara fell as much as 15 percent to a two-month low following reports of the collapse.

Bus stops across Marin are in line for improvements this year.
An allocation of about $2.6 million, including a $1.6 million federal "good repair grant," will enable a number of improvements, especially for disabled passengers, including access, signing and shelter amenities, while other funds will pay for other bus hub, crosswalk and related improvements.
Bus stops are among the things "everyone wants improved," noted Lauren Gradia, director of finance and capital programs, as the county Transit District Board reviewed spending programs and performance milestones Monday. Supervisor Susan Adams indicated improvements are needed to clear up confusion among riders about schedules and destinations — and wondered whether braille signs can be provided to aid the blind.
Transit chief David Rzepinski, noting there are 640 bus stops across the county, called braille signing "a great challenge" and added he knew of no other system in the county that "gets down to that level of detail."
But the program calls for continued study of six "real time" bus information signs already posted at bus stops including the Civic Center, Northgate Mall, Marin City, San Anselmo and Stinson Beach. The signs include audio programs for those with vision disabilities. Riders are clamoring for similar signing at other locales but the program depends on grant revenue, Rzepinski added.
Key bus stop programs, many in collaboration with local communities and Golden Gate transit officials, this year include $1,100,000 to improve access to bus stops, mainly curb cut and ramp projects, as well as new or upgraded stops at Strawberry Shopping Center, College of Marin, Ross, and Hamilton Field. Future projects include stops at the Fairfax Parkade, College of Marin and the Muir Woods Shuttle Pohono Park and Ride lot.
Other programs include $250,000 for bus shelter amenities, including seating improvements, and $250,000 for signing improvements.
Officials noted that included in a capital program is $624,000 for bus stop improvements in Southern Novato, with updated ramps and crosswalks, new shelter and related improvements at Ignacio Boulevard and Enfrente Road, and ramp, crosswalk and traffic light improvements at Rowland Boulevard and Highway 101. In addition, $300,00 has been set aside to design a new bus hub center planned at Redwood and Grant Avenue in Novato.

Also find Russo on Facebook.
Email Michael to talk about hockey.
Guillaume Latendresse returns to the Wild lineup tonight, but as I suspected on yesterday's blog, for it to happen, he'd have to at least start off on the Wild's fourth line.
Coach Mike Yeo indicated yesterday that he was anxious to see the Wild's top two lines that have practiced together since Monday, and he didn't want to tinker with the Brett Bulmer-Kyle Brodziak-Nick Johnson line. That left scratching Latendresse, who says he's ready to return from a groin strain, or putting him on the fourth line.
Latendresse said it was a coach's decision and he'll work to get his ice time and role back. Yeo said he is not unhappy with Latendresse's play at all and he's "just not big" on a player returning to the lineup after one practice following a week off from practice.
No. 1 line tonight: Heatley-Koivu-Clutterbuck
No. 2 line tonight: Bouchard-Cullen-Setoguchi
Mentioned No. 3
No. 4 line tonight: Latendresse-Powe-Gillies
Latendresse will play on the No. 2 power-play unit with Bouchard, Setoguchi, Scandella, Spurgeon. Bouchard's been working on his faceoffs this week in practice, Yeo said. But we could see Brodziak out there if there's a draw on the right side.
Brad Staubitz and Matt Kassian are the healthy scratches. Niklas Backstrom in the cage.

Bassbuds Fashion Ear buds with Swarovsky Elements – Review
I am a huge fan of music. I like all kinds of music except for jazz and opera. If you were to look on my iPod, you would probably be surprised at the range of music choices that are on it. But music is only as good as the sound quality, and the cheap-o ear buds don't always do justice to my favorite music.
Bassbuds make my music sound fantastic! I received a gorgeous pair of Bass Buds for review, and after using them, I realize how much I have been missing in the way of sound quality over the years, while using the standard ear buds that come with my iPod. Bass Buds "Advanced Crystaltronics Sound Technology " means that there is no bass distortion and the treble is crisp and clean. They aren't kidding – I am simply amazed at what a difference there is when it comes to ear buds. I don't think I could ever go back to regular ones after trying Bassbuds.
In addition to the sound quality, Bassbuds are absolutely stunning. How can ear buds be stunning you might ask?
I received the "Candy" Bassbuds ($85 ARV) from the 2012 Fashion Collection, which are made with Swarovski elements. Have you ever seen such gorgeous ear buds before?
Bassbuds are available in a variety of styles and colors. I am glad the good folks at Bassbuds made the choice for me, as I would have had a really hard time deciding what color and style to get. They did a great job choosing the "Candy" Bassbuds – they are just so "me"!
Bringing you ultra distortion free bass and crisp treble. Experience the superior sound quality of High Definition crystal clear Advanced Crystaltronics Sound Technology through your Bassbuds.
Hear your music without any external interference. Listen to your favourite songs and experience them like you have never done before! Enhanced entertainment, advanced Crystaltronics sound technology is the NEW sound of 2012. With the new built-in high spec Mic/MP3 Controller, you can get an unforgettable listening experience.
Each pair of Bassbuds High Performance In-ear Earphones have a Built-In Mic/MP3 Controller (mic is supported by all smartphones), and with your order of Bassbuds you will also receive the accessories bundle. In this bundle you will get 3 pairs of memory foam tips, 6 pairs of silicone tips, a beautiful black velvet storage and travel bag and of course, the Bassbuds! The memory foam tips make these so incredibly comfortable, unlike many other ear buds I have worn before. Ahhhh. They arrive in a really nice gift box – perfect for gift giving or just a treat for yourself!
If there is a music lover in your life (or several of them), Bassbuds are sure to please. With so many styles and colors to choose from, you can cover several people on your holiday gift list with one shopping trip!

Jennifer….I really..really…really want these! Does this mean a giveaway s coming HAHAHA! Hope so! There's no way my uy would wear these and I'd finally be able to keep a pair to myself!
I was very curious to see how much these cost since you have a $30.00 off coupon code. I am thinking eekkss, they must be really expensive. So I go to their web site and it is ALL in Euros. I change the country to usa and still euros. I think well maybe if I put in the coupon code it will convert the currency. No and it also says the code is not valid.
very disappointing.
My Daughter loves these!
I bought 5 pair in the various colors and the teens love them. I wish I had bought more nice gifts for those hard to buy teens. Finally found something they like and will use; )

text: WILLIAMS COMPANIESIn 1908 two brothers, David and Miller Williams, formed Williams-McQuary Construction Company and built sidewalks in Fort Smith, Arkansas. The company quickly expanded into water and sewer pipes, bridges, and other concrete structures. Changing its name to Williams Brothers in 1910, by 1916 it had built its first pipeline connecting gas fields in southwest Arkansas with Fort Smith, Arkansas. Responding to the oil boom, the offices were moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1918, and by 1923 Williams Brothers was an international pipeline builder. During World War II Williams built pipelines known as "Big Inch" and "Little Big Inch" for the War Emergency Pipeline system, which brought crude oil from Texas to war plants in the Northeast. In 1949 the company's first-generation founders, Dave and Miller, retired and sold part of the concern to Dave's son David Williams, Jr., and their nephews, Charles P. Williams, Jr., and John H. Williams. In 1966 these "youngsters," as they were known, bought their first pipeline, the 6,228-mile-long Great Lakes Pipe Line System. Under their leadership the company diversified into fertilizer, energy, and metals activities from the late 1960s until the late 1970s. The company changed its name to "The Williams Companies" in 1971 to reflect this new diversity. Williams pioneered many firsts in the pipeline construction business including the backhoe (used to dig trenches), various rotary machines (used to clean and coat pipelines), and superchargers (allowing engines to work at higher altitudes). Over the years the company built more than one hundred thousand miles of pipeline, crossing jungles, mountains, and deserts in more than forty countries. The company delivered a complete pipeline package including financing, design, and construction. Williams spun off the pipeline construction business as Willbros in 1975 (Williams's last job included sections of the Trans Alaska Pipeline). During the mid-1980s the company added communications to its business plan, placing fiber-optic cable inside old pipelines. The Williams Companies spun off the communications component in 2001.

This wiki Edit
Hello, I have been a fan of the Titanic for a long time and I recently discovered this wiki, and I'm very interested in it. Unfortunately I've noticed that there aren't many users (while this wiki has so much potential) and many pages need clean up. Besides the pages I also think the wiki needs clean up. I've looked at the MediaWiki, Main Page and when the background has been added, and those things haven't been changed for more than a year.
I do have a few things in mind (I've already made a wordmark and background) and I was wondering if you might want to make me admin. I know I haven't been here for long, but I have good intentions and I'm admin to several other wiki's too. I hope you give me a chance and we can make this wiki even better than it already is.

- It's okay, thanks for your response at least. I would've loved to chat, but unfortunately I live in Europe, so I can't be online at the time. UltravoX (talk) 10:06, October 28, 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, timezones can be quite annoying when you want to meet each other on something like the chat. Saturday sounds good, but unfortunately I have the nightshift this saturday, so I'm not sure when I'll be around.
Also, I think we should give the film characters and the real passengers different categories, like "Survivors" "First Class Passengers", maybe we can change that to something like "Survivors in film" and "First class passengers in film"? UltravoX (talk) 10:26, October 29, 2013 (UTC)

Chat Edit
Apparantly it's very hard for us to find a date to talk on chat. At this moment I can't get on the wiki very often because of work and school (that's why I haven't edited the last few days). This week is busy till tuesday, but after that I'm sure I have time. I'll message you when I can come online next week. Have a nice week and talk to you later!

Hi Edit
I'm sorry for being a bit inactive here and not messaging you before for chat. I hope you understand that I'm very busy right now, I don't have much time for wiki between school and work. I do want to share with you that I went to Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition yesterday, and it was all kinds of awesome! I hope you have a nice day and talk to you later. UltravoX (talk) 14:36, November 24, 2013 (UTC)
ps: can you unlock the main page so I can make a few changes to it?
Main page Edit
Hey, thanks for unlocking the main page. I gave it an update, I hope you like it this way. Have a good day! UltravoX (talk) 12:04, December 1, 2013 (UTC)
Hello UltravoX,There were two Helga's, one with blue eyes and one, brown eyes. The brown eyed Helga was Tessy Tonella. Tessy shot almost all the same scenes as Camilla but at the same time, they were using Tessy in other scenes as well including many 1st class scenes. Since Tessy became too recognizable in many other scenes, so it was decided to use Camilla in all the close-up and speaking parts whereas Tessy was used in most of the other scenes. The 3rd class scene where Helga is sitting on the bench talking with Fabrizio is Camilla but when the dancing starts, that is Tessy with Fabrizio on the dance floor. Tessy was with Fabrizio in the final dream scene as well. Tessy was also in the lifeboat with Kathy Bates as well as many other scenes throughout the move including on the rescue ship. Ms Tonella has her orginal Helga costume and film reel of all her scenes from the movie. Outside of asking Mr. Cameron or retrieving payroll records, the only way to see the different Helga's is to go through the movie again and look closely at the details of each Helga. One obvious difference is the ears and eye color. I believe in giving credit where credit is due. Thank you. Dxgol1 (talk) 21:15, January 2, 2014 (UTC)
Smith and Andrews Edit
Can you unblock the pages of Smith and Andrews? They are filled with errors. Someone's making up shit about how these men died, and that pisses the hell out of me. The TRUTH is that nobody actually knows how Edward Smith and Tommie Andrews died. Both of those men are my heroes--and I think it's disgusting for anyone to turn the last moments of these men's like into a goddamn soap opera.
Murdoch and Moody Edit
Also, the story of Bride seeing Murdoch and Moody is completley fictiocal. Harold Bride said no such thing at either Inquiry -- every one of his 1912 accounts specifies that he was on the opposite side of the ship from Murdoch and Moody when he was washed overboard. Aside from the fact that Harold Bride was on the opposite side of the ship from Murdoch and Moody when the bridge submerged, the fact that Bride did not know any of Titanic's officers in 1912 proves the above claim to be spurious.

Laying out and tending of a garden. Though palatial gardens existed in ancient times, small home gardens became prevalent only in the 19th century. Gardening as a pastime grew with the increase in home ownership and leisure time. A well-designed flower garden displays blends and contrasts of colours and forms, and it takes into account the effect of seasonal changes. Essential tasks include soil maintenance, water regulation, control of weeds, and protection of plants from pests and diseases. Though chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides are widely used, less-toxic organic supplements and pest controls, predatory insects, and hand-weeding have become increasingly popular.

This picture was from the fall and I am not quite sure what to put on here. Im thinking a big silver decorative bowl. Any suggestions? Thanks Renay |

I would combine a few items with staggered heights. If you do a decorative bowl, make it medium sized and add taller candles or a taller sculpture plus a couple books. |
Is there a group sitting around the table often, or is it just all for decoration? I would put a big glass bowl, and fill it with seasonal color. Glass looks like a 'theme' in that little sitting area so I'd stick with it. |
Sasafras...for the most part it is decoration but I wouldn't mind in the least if it was used. I think the accent color in the room behind it is more silver. I just stuck the glass up there as I have nothing else to put there at the moment. I will eventually blow up a picture of my children from my brothers wedding and put that on the mantle in the middle. I have 2 mantles and it makes it a little difficult to come up with ideas to decorate:) |
- Posted by stevejones99 (My Page) on Thu, May 15, 14 at 1:48
if you use flower with flower vase, that would good and match decorative for your table |
- Posted by patty_cakes (My Page) on Thu, May 15, 14 at 2:40
I wouldn't use anything high such as candlesticks or a flower arrangement, unless it's horizontal. There are times someone might need to reach over the table, and it's awkward when there are things in the way. A tray, your silver bowl(filled with something!), and a couple of coffee table books would be enough. |
I'm a sucker for trays. You can get trays in all shapes and colors and put a little grouping on them. I have a low grouping so nothing will block the TV. |
I agree with tray, silver bowl and books/pretties. Lovely room! |
You could do something somewhat unique and put a bowl with water and then floating flowers, candles, whatever, and change what is in there to suit the season/holiday. Here is an every day one: |
Something to brighten up the space, colorful, spring like for now. |

What is that mold growing in the bowl (jujubean71's photo)? I'm not just being flip, but honestly curious. What is that, or what is it supposed to be pretending to be in there? |
- Posted by jujubean71 (email@example.com) on Thu, May 15, 14 at 11:41
It's decorative moss. I didn't post that photo to highlight the actual items but rather to illustrate a collection of items in staggered heights. The taller items could be a sculpure, candles, plant, floral, etc. Here's another example (but without a tray) ... |
- Posted by Gyr_Falcon Sunset 23 USDA 9 (My Page) on Thu, May 15, 14 at 15:15
I wasn't criticizing the photo choice; it shows exactly the illustration point you meant it to. I really didn't understand that was supposed to be moss. To a designer it probably might look like moss; to someone that has been in the horticulture industry since 1980, it did not at all. Frankly, something growing on extremely old fridge food, much enlarged, was all I could think of. I was curious, since I was certain that was not the designer's intent. lol PS And now that I think about it, I seem to recall that type of moss bowl fooling me at least once before, and I had to ask for clarification then, too. I need to learn to view interiors more with an artist's eye. |

Renay, A big silver bowl would look nice on that table instead of glass. And I mean BIG. Fill it with anything else instead of a candle arrangement. That fire is lovely and a candle is not necessary. Invite use at the table, put some little retro games in the silver bowl - marbles, cards, jacks, pick up stix...you get the idea ;) I love that little fireplace and mantle. |

Upon perusing the ingredient list for this eye-area duo, our first thought was "full of promise" is full of it! Nothing in either formula is capable of lifting sagging around the eyes. See More Info to find out what you can do via skin care to help sagging skin—and to find out why, in truth, most eye creams or eye gels are usually not necessary.
Housed in a cylindrical tube, you get the Upper Eye Gel on one side and the Firming Eye Cream on the other. The gel is to be applied to the eyelids; the cream goes beneath the eye. Neither will provide a "lift," but both contain cosmetic pigments to lighten and brighten skin around the eyes—an effect that can be attractive, but is washed off like makeup at the end of the day.
In comparing the eye gel and eye cream, the eye cream is the better product. The gel contains a high amount of two absorbent ingredients, so as it sets you'll feel the skin getting tighter, kind of like how your skin feels when you apply a clay mask. That sensation isn't about skin being lifted, it's about skin becoming drier, because that's what absorbent ingredients do!
The amount of film-forming agent in the eye gel helps the skin appear smoother, but we're a bit concerned that the amount of film former coupled with the absorbent ingredients may prove irritating.
What's unquestionably problematic is the angelica root extract, present in both the Upper Eye Gel and the Firming Eye Cream, although the eye cream contains a much lower amount. This plant extract contains constituents that can cause a sensitized reaction when skin is exposed to sunlight—and neither the eye gel nor the eye cream in this full of promise duo offers sun protection (Source: www.naturaldatabase.com). Angelica has antioxidant benefits, but so do lots of other plants that provide the benefits without the concerns! More to the point, there's no research proving angelica root extract does anything great for the skin, around the eyes or anywhere else.
Otherwise, Upper Eye Gel contains some good antioxidants, but the fragrant bitter orange extract is one more cause for concern, especially in a product meant for use around the eyes.
The Firming Eye Cream is a rich formula for dry skin, and contains some very good antioxidants and cell-communicating peptides, but it also contains fragrant bitter orange extract and, as explained in More Info, most eye creams aren't necessary.
Bottom line: There's no reason to buy this dual-sided eye treatment, not only because it isn't necessary, but also because both formulas contain their share of problematic ingredients, which keep them from earning a strong recommendation.
What You Can do for Sagging Skin: Many skin-care products claim they can firm and lift skin, but none of them work, at least not to the extent claimed. A face-lift-in-a-bottle isn't possible, but with the right mix of products, you will see firmer skin that has a more lifted appearance—and that's exciting! To gain these youthful benefits, you must protect your skin from any and all sun damage every day, use an AHA (glycolic acid or lactic acid) or BHA (salicylic acid) exfoliant, and use products that have a wide range of antioxidants and skin-repairing ingredients. Remember, no single product can do it all; it's the combination of products that has extensive research showing it can significantly improve many of the signs of aging, such as firming skin, reducing wrinkles and brown spots, and eliminating dullness. You'll find them on our list of Best Anti-Aging/Anti-Wrinkle Products.
Why You May Not Need an Eye Cream
Most eye creams aren't necessary. That's either because they are poorly formulated, contain nothing special for the eye area, or come in packaging that won't keep key ingredients stable. Just because the product is labeled as an eye cream doesn't mean it's good for your eye area; in fact, many can actually make matters worse.
There is much you can do to improve signs of aging around your eyes. Any product loaded with antioxidants, skin-repairing ingredients, skin-lightening ingredients, anti-inflammatory ingredients, and effective emollients will work wonders and those ingredients don't have to come from a product labeled as an eye cream.
You would be shocked how many eye creams lack even the most basic ingredients to help skin. For example, most eye creams don't contain sunscreen. During the day that is a serious problem because it leaves the skin around your eyes vulnerable to sun damage and this absolutely will make dark circles, puffiness, and wrinkles worse!
Whatever product you put around your eye area, regardless of what it is labeled, must be well formulated and appropriate for the skin type around your eyes! That may mean you need an eye cream, but you may also do just as well applying your regular facial moisturizer around your eyes.

Believe in miracles. That's the "lifestyle" branding statement philosophy makes, which is an approach that is decidedly different from their former positioning, which encompassed family values and spirituality along with a dash of department-store élan and endearingly clever quips. The miracle angle may grab your attention, but the company is also quick to point out that its history is steeped in providing products to dermatologists and plastic surgeons worldwide (so, in addition to miracles, philosophy has a serious side, too). Although its heritage may have included providing clinically oriented products to doctors, we have yet to see or hear of any medical professional retailing philosophy products. And that's a good thing because, by and large, most of philosophy products are resounding disappointments. Moreover, several products, including almost all of their sunscreens, contain one or more known skin irritants. We would be extremely suspicious of a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who recommended such products to their patients, and even more so if they actually believed some of the more farfetched claims philosophy makes.
Interestingly, when you shop this line at department stores or at the cosmetics boutique Sephora, what you'll notice is the preponderance of food- and drink-scented bath products, all in vivid colors or cutely boxed for gift-giving. It seems that somewhere along the way, the company decided to promote these nose-appeal products while downplaying their more serious-minded, simply packaged skin care. Perhaps the body lotions and bubble baths have become philosophy's bread and butter. Given the hit-or-miss nature of their facial-care products, that's not surprising. Then again, they've also heavily promoted their anti-aging-themed Miracle Worker products...
So what's to like if you're into the vibe philosophy puts out? Well, this is still a line with some well-formulated staples, including an AHA product, some retinol options, and a handful of state-of-the-art moisturizers. The products that get the most promotion at the counter are the ones you should avoid, such as the at-home peels, scrubs, pads, and anti-acne products. However, the somewhat confusing, conflicting image philosophy presents shouldn't keep you from considering their best products—but it's not a lifestyle brand in the sense that using the entire line will somehow bring you a more joyful existence, or significantly improved skin. The philosophy line is now owned Coty, a cosmetics brand primarily known for their fragrances. Their acquisition of philosophy is their first major foray into a widely-distributed skin care brand.

Note: philosophy opts to use lowercase letters for every product they sell, so the listings below are simply following suit.
philosophy Makeup
Minimalism is a big theme among philosophy's dwindling, uneven range of makeup. Whereas the color options from this company used to be extensive, well-organized, and at times clever, what's lining the counter now needs help, in more ways than one. The major issue is the plethora of ordinary products that cost far too much for what they don't offer, which is innovation and, in almost every case, selection. The line shines brightest (pun intended) with its lip color offerings, though the best products in this category are counterbalanced by glosses or lip balms with needless irritants. If you're a fan of philosophy's skin-care products and are considering their makeup, you don't want to try to build a comprehensive color wardrobe with it. However, you'd be wise to explore the handful of pleasant surprises here, including an excellent bronzing lotion, foundation primer with sunscreen, and the multi-use makeup brush.

Rubber declined for a sixth straight month after Japan's industrial production unexpectedly slumped, adding to concern that a global economic slowdown will curb raw- material demand.
February-delivery rubber lost 1.6 percent to close at 217.8 yen a kilogram ($2,776 a ton) on the Tokyo Commodity Exchange, the lowest settlement level since Aug. 16. The most-active contract has dropped 5.2 percent this month, extending this year's decline to 17 percent. The sixth monthly drop is the worst run since 2008.
Japan's industrial output fell 1.2 percent in July, while consumer prices decreased 0.3 percent, government data showed today. The figures reflect diminishing demand overseas for the nation's exports amid the European crisis and exchange-rate appreciation, and the end of incentives for vehicle purchases.
"Data showing a slowdown in the global economy sapped investor appetite," Takaki Shigemoto, an analyst at research company JSC Corp. in Tokyo, said today by phone.
Japan's weakening accompanies signs of slowing across Asia. South Korea today reported a 1.6 percent drop in industrial production in July from the previous month.
January-delivery rubber lost 1.3 percent to close at 21,490 yuan ($3,385) a ton on the Shanghai Futures Exchange. Thai rubber free-on-board was unchanged at 85.85 baht ($2.74) a kilogram today, according to the Rubber Research Institute of Thailand.

Commemorating Flag Day an annual Elks tradition
By James D. Wolf Jr. Post-Tribune correspondent June 13, 2014 9:46PM
At Friday's Flag Day celebration held at the Porter County Courthouse in Valparaiso, Sarah Matlock, 9, carries a version of the Stars and Stripes, which has continued unchanged except for added stars since 1818. The Valparaiso Elks hosted the 36th annual ceremony. | James D. Wolf Jr./for Sun-Times Media
Updated: July 15, 2014 6:06AM
VALPARAISO — The city's Elks lodge on Friday did what every Elks lodge is required to do this weekend.
Valparaiso Lodge 500 held its 36th annual Flag Day celebration, the day before the holiday.
The annual ceremony must follow a detailed script — recognizing all the flags that the United States has flown in its history, reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and singing "The Star Spangled Banner" and "God Bless America."
Elks lodges through the nation can "beef up" the Flag Day ceremony by adding to it, but they can't omit the requirements, said Judy Rooney-Davis, the Esteemed Leading Knight for Lodge 500.
The Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks is the only fraternal organization to require formal observance of Flag Day and has done so since July 1908, when the "Grand Lodge of this Order at Dallas, Texas, ... provided for the annual nationwide observance of Flag Day on the 14th of June in each year by making it mandatory upon each subordinate lodge," Lodge 500's Exalted Ruler, Bruce Wright, said during the ceremony.
The first two flags in Friday's ceremony were the 1775 Pine Tree Flag, a green pine on white field that was used by Colonial vessels and the Continental Army at the Battle of Bunker Hill, and the yellow Snake Flag with the "Don't Tread On Me" motto used by Southern states from 1776 to 1777.
In 1775, a Continental Congress committee recommended 13 red-and-white stripes with the British red cross of St. George and white cross of St. Andrew where we now have the stars. It was flown on ships and was the first U.S. flag to receive a salute of honor, 11 guns at the Fort of Orange in the Dutch West Indies.
In June 1777, the flag officially received the field of stars and a starred banner was first flown at Fort Stanwix near Rome, N.Y., on Aug. 3, 1777.

Back in the '80s, a casual sex study came out that revealed 70 percent of men would agree to have sex with a stranger when propositioned, compared to zero percent of women. This further etches in stone the stereotype that women only want sex for love and became the black cloud over every woman who enjoys the occasional, no-strings-attached romp in the sack — until now.

Monday, August 29
U.S. Cellular Field
Attendance: 24,120
Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Tyler Flowers knocked in two runs to support 7 2/3 scoreless innings from Mark Buehrle, as the Chicago White Sox bested the Minnesota Twins, 3-0, in the opener of a three-game series.
Buehrle (11-6) gave up just four hits -- all singles -- and struck out four to win for the fifth time in his last six decisions.
Sergio Santos tossed 1-2-3 ninth to record his 27th save of the season.
Dayan Viciedo went 2-for-3 with an RBI for the White Sox, who have won four straight and six of eight. They now sit just five games behind the AL Central- leading Tigers.
"One game at a time," said Buehrle. "We can't get too far ahead. We've got a couple more games with Detroit and they're not going away and I think they know we're not going to."
Kevin Slowey (0-3) lasted seven innings, allowing two runs on six hits to suffer the loss.
"Slowey was good," said Twins manager Ron Gardenhire. "He was working fast, he got us off the field. He did everything Buehrle did except he gave up a couple of runs."
The Twins, who have dropped eight of their last nine games, were 0-for-4 with runners in scoring position.
In the home second, Alejandro De Aza doubled, stole third and made it a 1-0 game on Flowers' sac fly.
A half-inning later, the Twins placed runners on first and second with two down, but Buehrle got Trevor Plouffe to fly out to end the inning.
Viciedo, who was recalled from the minors on Saturday, singled to begin the home seventh, advanced to second on De Aza's sac bunt and scored on Flowers' subsequent double, giving the Sox a 2-0 lead.
Aside from Danny Valencia in the top of the fourth, Buehrle did not allow another runner to reach second until Tsuyoshi Nishioka walked and advanced on Ben Revere's sac bunt in the eighth.
Buehrle then retired Plouffe before Jesse Crain struck out Michael Cuddyer to end the inning.
Viciedo made it a 3-0 game in the home half, scoring Alexei Ramirez from second with an infield single.

During the recent flooding here in Peterborough, Ontario, the soil got so saturated that it could no longer hold the roots of my Golden Harvest apple tree, and it toppled under the weight of the fruit. The arborist was unable to upright it, saying it was too old and would never survive the root damage. To top it all off, it fell on our butterfly garden that we planted this year, breaking all the plants off at the ground. This tree was the last tree of an orchard that existed on the propery prior to the neighbourhood being built in the 50's, so it's a very sad sight to many of the neighbours who have lived here for 30-40 years.
All things considered though, we were EXTREMELY lucky compared to so many people here. It's so sad and devastating to drive down the city streets and see people's possessions piled at the side of the street, in some cases it appears the pile of damged and sewage contaminated items is as large as the house and must be everything the family owned, and this goes on for blocks and blocks all over the city. It certainly puts a lot of things into perspective. Many of these people will not receive insurance money either because the water ran in through windows and any other openings and not through the drains and sewers!! The cities of Toronto and Oshawa (and probably more) have sent garbage trucks and people to help witht he cleanup, but I'm sure it will take weeks and weeks to remove it all. Then the rebuilding can begin. Some houses are now condemned because the water damaged the foundations beyond repair - at least one of these families has been told that the flooding was an "act of God" and therefore not eligible for insurance. Provincial funding came through yesterday ($5 million to start with), but most of this money will go businesses that were severely damaged in the downtown core and some to families with incomes less than $24000, but once again the working poor are left to fend for themselves unless further funding comes through. City council was to meet last night to declare the city a disaster area, a technicality that will make more funding available. A week later we are still under a State of Emergency. The local Loblaws store had severe water damage and had to throw out 1.5 million in inventory. They are now reopened, but must run 4 HUGE dehumidifiers at a cost of $5000 per day each. The local foodbank lost EVERYTHING!! They have bins set up at locations all accross the city for donations and were able to reopen yesterday. With more rain and thunderstorms predicted for today, we are wondering when it will all end..... |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hoping you don't get any further damage with the predicted rains in the forcast. At the lower portion of my parents west end street the extent of the sewage damage to one family home is so great that they have already been advised that their family home must be torn down and rebuilt. Retaining walls on other properties collapsed and further flooded out adjoining properties that already had basements full of water. Will be heading over on Friday to see how we can help. |
Sorry about your tree. I'm in Peterborough, too. I was fairly lucky, in that I didn't have much stuff in the basement that was damaged by what little water got in. My foundation parging did develop some new and interesting cracks but I was able to get a structural engineer to assure me that it wasn't a major concern (old house, anyway). But now I've got a nasty musty smell down there that I just can't get rid of. But compared to those poor souls whose lives are currently sitting on their front lawn, I'm very fortunate. Heard on the radio today that the Mennonites are sending 90 people up from Waterloo (some sort of volunteer disaster group) and that a Buddist group is also sending people. I think that sort of thing just makes one want to roll up ones sleeves and pitch in, too. I got the foodbank on my list for this afternoon. I lost some stuff in the garden, but it would seem that the plants in most people's gardens stood up to this weather better than their houses! A clematis got torn down and drowned and the more delicate stuff trampled by heavy rains. Everything looks dreary and floppy, but the slugs and most of the weeds are happy. I think it's stopped raining just long enough to mow the mushroom farm - err, I mean the lawn. I would really really like to see a sunny, breezy day. Let's hope this weekend brings some relief. Without even a little bit of wind we're now also suffering from heat, extreme humidity and smog. (shortly to be followed by a mid-summer mosquito population explosion, I'm sure) C. |

Hi Chris...good to see another Peterborough person here. I'm on Crawford Drive, and you're right, it's like a war zone. I'm glad the helicopters have stopped now, and they are starting to pick up the garbage in this area this week, so things are beginning to return to normal - if that's possible. I saw your website and your pictures are wonderful - what great work you have done. Trevor |
oh, goodie, now it's raining again. I've been by Crawford drive and it's just horrible. Not only piles of worldly possessions on the curb, but it looks like a whole row of houses lost the first eight feet or so of front yard! It's like the soil just slid away and washed down the street. Is your house one of those?? I've never seen anything like it, except maybe in earthquake footage. I've got a liatris here, if you want it, for your butterfly garden restoration. Email me at: chris (at) nerdsunlimited.net if you want it. I should be around this weekend. Ciao |

My sympathies to all you folks in Peterborough. I live several hours north of you and we too had some flooding (very minor by comparison). I live on a river which rose about 4 ft. but not any real damage was done and we were told not to take boats out in case a dam upstream gave away. I wish my neighbours could read your various posts as many of them are doing a lot of whining. Your stories tell a much more human side compared with what the media gives us. I hope you and everyone else in the city soon get your lives back in order. My son went to school for 4 years in P. and I had a favourite aunt and uncle (now deceased) who lived there for many years so I visited the city quite often. Good luck to all of you. |

You would understand that it is not for the people that are on pills and drunk's and don't care about what you think .. thay will live were ever thay want ,and you can put them in jail 100 time's thay still won't care..But you take me for that time to stand on my feet and get a job save my money strighting out my lic. so i can get a better job and be able look you in the eye... when you called me a bum.. just to see your face would be worth it !!! i don't want'a sky box, just a place to lay my head , a job ,place to go that's out of the street's P.S. for those that never been homeless try this have no money,no car , no friend's to help,all by your self with no job and start from there ... I DARE YOU!!!!! then you'll see were im comeing from when you loose everthing.. i would jump at the chance to have roof over my head

- I want a sky box too as long as someone else pays for them--like the tax payers! If they can give them to the homeless, they can give priority to tax paying citizens. The homeless are homeless because they do not want to give up drugs, alcohol and tobacco in order to receive the abundant help that is out there from various charities. All the bleeding hearts should adopt them. Talk is cheap. Actions count. Put your money where your mouth is or shut up.

A Boehner bypass? House conservatives have their own midterm message
WASHINGTON (CNN) — An influential group of House conservatives, unhappy with the midterm strategy of Speaker John Boehner and other top House Republicans, plans to lay out its own election year message on the economy on Wednesday.
"I think our leadership has been good about showing what we're against. I think one area where we've had weakness is we really haven't shown what we're for," Louisiana Republican Steve Scalise said.
Scalise doesn't call out leaders by name, but in an interview in his Washington office with CNN, he sent a clear message that he believes there is a tendency for top House leaders to play it safe. He heads the powerful Republican Study Committee, a group of fiscal conservatives that includes the vast majority of rank and file House GOP members. Since its inception, the RSC's main objective is to move House GOP leaders to the right on policy measures.
"I would like to see our leadership be bold. I would like to see us as a House majority be bold because I think the American people are hungry for bold ideas that will solve big problems because I think our country has big problems."
Scalise said he's confident voters are overwhelmingly opposed to the agenda of President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats, but he admits his own party has low approval ratings, too. "They don't trust us because they don't know what we stand for," Scalise said.
Contract With America, Part II
Idaho Republican Raul Labrador agrees.
While he isn't working a major jobs bill that Scalise is shepherding, he echoes concerns that his party isn't presenting a more aggressive election year campaign to educate voters about what Republicans stand for.
Labrador says he is talking to leaders about a package of ideas "kind of like a 'Contract With America' " that would spell out bills congressional Republicans would pass in the first 90 days of the next session of Congress. In the 1994 midterm election, many credited Newt Gingrich's "Contract With America" as a key component in helping the party retake control of the House after 40 years in the minority and helping Gingrich become speaker of the House.
Conservatives have clashed with House Republican leaders repeatedly on policy differences over the debt ceiling, the budget and spending bills. But in this case, there isn't a major disagreement over substance -- it's about strategy.
They believe continuing to pass piecemeal economic bills and sending them to the Democratic Senate gets lost with voters and dilutes their message.
That's why the jobs measure Scalise plans to unveil Wednesday is a big bill that rolls together 23 proposals. He and others admit they are not new, but that's not the point. They believe the impact is greater by packaging them.
The list includes a plan to approve the Keystone XL Pipeline, a proposal to authorize more offshore drilling, measures to roll back some regulations on coal plants and expedite permits for natural gas exploration. It also lists bills rolling back some financial services reforms that conservative believe hurt small businesses' ability to expand and get more access to capital.
The push for one overarching economic plan mirrors the playbook conservatives used recently to press their leadership to agree to hold a vote on a GOP alternative to Obamacare.
The RSC introduced its own proposal to repeal and replace the health care law last year. Again they pulled together a number of ideas that Republicans previously proposed into one package. Now House Majority Leader Eric Cantor is leading an effort with key committee chairs to draft a Republican alternative to the current system.
Boehner's office: We're pushing for more jobs
Asked about the criticism from conservatives on the speaker's jobs message, Boehner spokesman Michael Steel maintains House GOP leaders have a long record focusing on jobs and are committed to pushing additional measures.
"The American people are asking where are the jobs, and House Republicans are continuing to act week in and week out on common sense bills to help create more private sector jobs," Steel told CNN.
In addition, Cantor has been scheduling floor votes on targeted measures such as a bill to reduce home heating prices. In a memo to House Republicans about the spring schedule, the majority leader touted several measures under his "American That Works" agenda and pledged more items were scheduled to address the "middle class squeeze."
Not all conservatives are worried that the party needs to present a comprehensive economic solution this fall.
Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina says it is important to repeatedly tell voters what you support. But he says the Democratic Senate won't take up any House GOP bill, and he believes the 2014 midterm election will center just on the problems with Obamacare. Asked if that issue alone is enough to help Republicans expand their majority in the House, Gowdy replied, "Right now it is."
Freshman Rep. Richard Hudson of North Carolina admitted that internal divisions among House GOP members make it hard to coordinate any unified message. He pointed to how then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi kept her members on the same page when Democrats controlled the House.
"They all had a message of the day, and they all sang out of the same prayer book. We're all a bunch of individuals, so I don't think we could ever have that same kind of message discipline," Hudson said. He also said, "Our leadership doesn't rule with an iron fist and say 'this is what you are going to say today.' It makes it harder to have a unified message to break through the noise."
Scalise thinks a more comprehensive statement of what Republicans would do for the economy is critical to helping the party in its quest to take control of the Senate.
"Right now, there is no head of the party, and the House is the only majority," Scalise said. "It would excite people more to know what we would do if we were in the majority than if you just say put us in the majority so we'll block this President's agenda."

ask him/her what they think of Cinderella Castle's new paint job and if it's going to change after the YoaMD celebration!!! See if they will change it back!!!
Ok, I just received another surprise about my Disney trip!
On the first day of my trip, we are getting up really early so we can make it to The Hollywood Brown Derby by 11:15. Because I'm having lunch with an IMAGINEER!!!
But then I told myself...what am I going to ask?
Help me!
Are there any questions you guys have that you want me to ask? Post anything I can ask them!
Ask them who we can write to so we can beg for a job. Better yet, take them my resume!
I'd love to know the process they go through when deciding to refurb an attraction (i.e. the Living Seas into the Seas w/ Nemo and Friends) and what leads to the decision to refurb and how they go about doing it all.
Sometimes all you need is a reminder that out there lies a better place... a better world... a Walt Disney World.Visited In: 1983, 1988, 1989 x2, 1991, 1992, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 (passholder), 2007 (x2 x3), 2008, 2009 (x2), 2010, 2011 (x2)
Detail is there to make you believe in the reality of the story youre immersed in. - Joe Rohde
I'm sure you'll have a great time with this.... He/She will probably have a great deal to talk about with you, but if you'd feel safer having something under your belt to use as a conversation starter, try talking about "Mickey's Ten Commandments".... Some of them are things like 1)Know your audience, and 2) wear your guests' shoes...
Have a Magical Day!
Here's a question that's specific to Disney/MGM Studios: Is there going to be a Nightmare Before Christmas after hours event during October?
I keep hearing rumors that they are considering an event for people who have outgrown Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, but not as scary as US Halloween Horror Nights. I first heard about this during the summer of 2005, but haven't seen anything "official" about it anywhere.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A bill changing the state's career and technical education system has become law without Governor Chafee's signature, because he did not like the approach taken by the proponents.
"It was a top-down approach," Chafee's spokeswoman Faye Zuckerman told The Providence Journal. "So the lawmakers didn't really talk to the people who were doing the job."
That approach — and the substance of some of the changes — so bothered the directors of two large technical high schools that they wrote Chafee urging him to veto the measure.
In response to The Journal's question about why the governor did not sign the bill, he released letters from directors of the two regional schools — William M. Davies, Jr. Career & Technical High School in Lincoln and the Warwick Area Career and Technical Center. Chafee highlighted complaints from each that resonated with him, Zuckerman said.
Officials from each school wrote to Rep. Joseph M. McNamara, chairman of the House Committee on Health, Education and Welfare, before the legislation passed and to Chafee after the House and Senate approved it June 21. Chafee released all four letters.
"The Bill is woefully short on input from career and technical educators, and fails to properly include career and technical educators on the proposed statewide Board of Trustees for Career and Technical Education," wrote Carolyn Kyle, chairwoman of Davies' board of trustees, and Victoria A. Gailliard-Garrick, director of the school, on June 24. "It fails sufficiently to focus on assessments, curriculum development, student guidance, and policy-making."
The Rhode Island Public Expenditure Council, representing a coalition of business leaders, worked with the Rhode Island Department of Education to write the legislation. They wanted the business community more involved in the schools so students could get internships and other learning opportunities at local businesses. The bill creates a new board of trustees, effective next January, to maintain connections with higher education, to meet the needs of local businesses and to ensure a "comprehensive and coordinated" system.
Yet the letters from Warwick express concern that RIPEC Executive Director John C. Simmons did not consult the schools.
"Testimony made by Mr. Simmons and other industry partners are not accurate," the Warwick school's director, William D. McCaffrey, wrote on June 4. "Also, none of the industry partners visited my school once during the school day during the last six years."
Simmons said he was glad Chafee reviewed the bill's content, and he said portions of the bill changed as McNamara and business people met with educators from many career and technical schools.
"The content is most important," Simmons said. "We're glad that the governor allowed it into law despite his concerns about process, which his own Department of Education participated in."

Keratosis pilaris on the cheek
Keratosis pilaris on the cheek
Keratosis pilaris occurs most commonly during childhood and produces small, rough spots (papules) that are typically skin-colored. They usually appear over the outer surface of the upper arms and thighs, but may also occur elsewhere on the body. Dry skin (especially during winter months) makes the condition worse. Keratosis pilaris tends to be inherited and may be associated with atopic dermatitis.
