Accordingly, Al Basel will coordinate dialogues and facilitate meetings between Jimmy Carter and prominent regional personalities and organisations to advance humanitarian causes. Al Basel Consultancy will also promote literature from the Center to further enhance cultural and historical relations between the US and the Middle East. The Carter Center was set up in 1982 to advocate human rights and lessen human suffering. Since its inception, it has helped improve the quality of life for people in more than 70 countries.
"It is truly an honour working with such a famous historical figure, distinguished author and respected statesman. This is the perfect time to promote Jimmy Carter's humanitarian philosophies as embodied by his Center across the Middle East, as more businesses in the region are turning to corporate social responsibility to balance development with social welfare. We look forward to promoting the Carter Center and its activities in the region," said Al Basel Consultancy's CEO Basel Al Kasem, shortly after meeting Jimmy Carter to discuss areas of cooperation and how the region as a whole can benefit from the Center's programs.
The Carter Center operates in partnership with Emory University and is governed by a Board of Trustees which includes prominent business persons, educators, former government officials and renowned philanthropists. President Carter received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his humanitarian achievements through the Center. His book, 'Beyond the White House: Waging Peace, Fighting Disease, Building Hope' chronicles the 25-year history of The Carter Center and has become a major source of inspiration among human rights advocates.
Further to Basel Al Kasem's meeting with Jimmy Carter, Omar Al Kasem from Al Basel Consultancy met with John Hardman, President and CEO of Carter Centre, to discuss the finer points of cooperation between the parties to promote the Centre in the region.

Oscar did fight some pretty average fighters defending his tittle at times. Hagler never fought bums that I am aware of. Hopkins fought the best available. There are lots more of course. Leonard and Duran fought very few bums and Trinidad also fought the best guys that dared to fight him and ducked no one. Hearns never fought bums either. Jose Napoles, Alexis Arguello, Pryor, Sanchez, and many more are champions that rarely if ever fought bums.

PECO Credit Agreements Extend Relationships With Minority And Community Banks
PECO and its parent company, Exelon Corporation, have arranged $123 million in credit lines with 31 minority and community owned banks in the Philadelphia region and other regions where Exelon operates.
The company's minority and community banking program, which began in 2003, provides Exelon subsidiaries, including PECO, with additional sources of credit at competitive prices, while participating banks benefit from having increased deposits and assets with which to serve their communities.
Locally, the United Bank of Philadelphia served as a lead arranger for the $34 million credit facility for PECO. Administered by JP Morgan Chase since its inception, the program has more than tripled in credit facility size and quadrupled the number of participating banks.
In a challenging economic climate, Craig Adams, PECO president and CEO, said these agreements provide PECO and Exelon with an additional source of credit at competitive prices while offering minority and community banks an opportunity to grow their relationships with Fortune 500 companies. Adams added that these agreements are part of PECO's and Exelon's ongoing efforts to engage minority-owned firms, demonstrate their commitment to diversity and inclusion in all business relationships, and provide greater opportunity for minority banks to participate in major transactions.
"Supplier diversity is an important part of our diversity and inclusion strategy," said Adams. "Diversity and inclusion are about increasing opportunities and ensuring broad access, not just in terms of how we hire, but as a fundamental way of doing business every day." "We are pleased to facilitate a relationship between minority and community banks and a large money center bank in order to accomplish an important business objective," said Phil Barnett, PECO senior vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer. "This working partnership is unique, and we're proud to have played a role." Last year, PECO spent $76 million with minority and women-owned businesses. With the addition of Constellation and BGE to the Exelon family of companies, Exelon's corporate spending with certified minority- and women-owned businesses reached more than $750 million in 2012.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

orvil1 Posts: 1I just ordered an 2014 Audi Q7 Premium. I did not want any additional options. It was impossible to find a base model. Everything available was Premium Plus or Prestige. I plan to keep this vehicle 10 to 15 years. I was replacing a 2000 Ford Expedition. I looked at the Mercedes ML350, the Volkswagen Touareg and the Lexus 350. I didn't want a sun roof or a navigation system. In my opinion, just something to go wrong. I would rather replace a $150 Garmin when it dies than a $2,500 navigation system.
I missed out on the Audi Loyalty credit, my A6 is a 1999 and doesn't qualify. The cutoff was 2001. The allocation system estimates middle of September for delivery. Everyone is on vacation in Europe during August.
I did all kinds of estimates and the TDI was not cost effective. I don't put enough miles on the car each year to justify the upcharge. I can buy a lot of premium gasoline with the money I save on a diesel engine. This really surprised me. But, the numbers didn't lie.
While I used Edmunds to provide me with information, I did not use it to negotiate the final sales price. I also had access to TrueCar and to the Audi supplier discount through my employer. What I ended up using was www.fightingchance.com to help me set up a negotiation. It was worth $30 to get the information and follow the directions. It explained how TrueCar was actually a ripoff. I was able to get $500 below invoice on a factory order. If I had really pressed it, I might have gotten more off. But, I felt the offer I received was fair.
I wanted the 2014 before they changed the vehicle. Rumor has it that it will be smaller. I wanted the extra weight for safety and I didn't want a vehicle that was coming from a brand new factory. -
audiq7girl Posts: 2Awesome article. I am so glad you shared this. I will check out fightingchance.com.
I am looking at the 2013 Q7 Premium TDI which every dealer is trying to get rid of. My friend loves her Premium but complaints about stopping at every gas station to fuel up.
If you can get lower than Invoice, you got yourself a GOOD deal! -
ltllady Posts: 27True Car is not really a rip off. It is useful for everyone. One needs to recognize what TC is and what it provides.
TC works closely with dealers. As a result, TC does not represent the best price. The price TC quotes is basically a dealer set price, a price the dealer would like to sell with no negotiation. At a minimum, the TC price is overstated by $300 which is what a dealer pays TC for each new car sale.
Knowing the price at which a dealer will sell without further negotiation is a valuable bit of information. A smart buyer can use that info to get a much better price. -

Hi all ! Newbie here ... Just purchased a 2014 Q7 (premium plus, cold weather, side assist) at approx 6.5% off MSRP. After reading these reviews I'm beginning to worry about what I may be in for. Anybody else purchase a 2014? What has been your experience so far ... At what point ( # Miles's) should I expe t to have to begin spending a lot on maintenance?

@sungscow said: This board isn't too active but can anyone share their recent purchase experience? I'm looking at a 2014 Q7 Premium Plus with warm weather package, side sensors, tow package. MSRP is $58,595. What can I expect to get off this? Any more than 5-6%? Thanks!
If you can get 5-7% off of sticker, I'd say you are doing good.

Nothing stopping you from making whatever offer you feel is appropriate. Just don't be surprised if the dealer doesn't take it.

Bangkok, Central Thailand, Thailand Advise is to bargain for everything from the moment you get off the plane never take the price that is first offered to you. A thai friend told me to take 70 percent off what they tell you and and after working out a price you will find you you have paid 50% less then the price you where quoted. Its all part of the fun of being on holiday a fantstic country cant wait to go back. Good tip? (+1) Bangkok, Central Thailand, Thailand You can survive on very little money in Bangkok but be wary of the locals trying to rip you off. Always take a radio taxi from the airport, not just someone touting for business, as you may end up paying double.
The floating markets and the bridge over the river kwai are must do's as is the grand palace! Khao San road is also the place to be at night. Good tip? (+1) Bangkok, Central Thailand, Thailand Remember: the subway in Thailand does NOT go into downtown- stupid! So to get to the temples, you have to take a taxi. Don;t go in rush hour or they charge you more and the traffic is HORRIBLE! When you take a taxi, you have to make sure they are not illegal ones. When you arrive at the airport and are looking for a taxi, there is a booth outside the main doors somwehere that will help you to find a legit taxi cab. The people in the booth will give you a paper with infor on it-costs a few extra dollars but worth if for a piece of mind! Make sure meters work in any taxi you get in. You will have to catch some from/to downtown but they work liked normal cabs and just pray you get a legal one! It is quite a modern city- more do than I originally thought. The trains are clean and modern. Good tip? (0) Bangkok, Central Thailand, Thailand I'm native born here so I will suggest you to go to Wat Pra Kaew near the Royal Palace even it's a tourist attraction but i think it will be worth to go there ! you will never get to see any place like this. Also if you like the nightlife, you can go to Sukhumvit Road or Khaosan Road it depends on what kind of nightlife you like...Sukhumvit is more like clubbing but Khaosan Road always full with foreigners and tourists who love nightlife. The teenager's part is Siam ! you can take a BTS there.Finally, please beware of your wallet all the time ! there are lots of pickpokets in bkk ! hope you have fun there like i do ! Good tip? (0) Bangkok, Central Thailand, Thailand My goodness Bangkok is a fun city! Transportation: well, if you don`t know where you`re really going and don`t speak the language, maybe taxi is better...but bus is available. There are two kinds of bus: One with AC and without AC. *Taxi drivers drive very dangerously...(from my own experience)* If you want to taste real Thai food, I think going to small food store, or buying food from the food stand is a way to go! They are real cheap too AND good at the same time so why not try them? *PLEASE DO NOT DRINK TAP WATER!* Water there are contaminated so better to buy a bottle of water at a store. Good tip? (0) Bangkok, Central Thailand, Thailand I was met at the airport by a representative of the travel company, and we headed straight off for the hotel. The first thing she told us on our journey into the center of Bangkok was that we were staying right on the doorstep of the world famous Patpong red light district, where every fantasy known to man and a few others known only to men in dodgy raincoats can be served up on a plate with cherries on top. She told us this, presumably because it was exactly what the two little old ladies and the young married couple on the bus with me had flown several thousand miles to hear. No information about stunningly beautiful temples or how breathtaking their majestic city is to behold, but if any of us needed instant sexual gratification upon arrival, she wanted us to know we were sorted. It struck me, as we drove into town on a seemingly endless spiral of spaghetti junctions, that there is a distinct class separation in Thailand. The roads that we were driving along were in pristine condition, and every now and again we were required to pull up at a toll booth to pay for the privilege of getting any closer to our destination. Directly below us, though, underneath the huge motorways, the landscape was filled with shanty towns over which we drove. Kids were playing in the streets outside houses that appeared to be no more than pieces of tin stacked on top of each other. We were not all going to the same hotel, so we had to stop en-route to drop people off. At the first place we went to, I nearly lost my luggage - If I hadn't happened to look out of the window at the right moment and notice that the porter was nonchalantly escorting my suitcase into the wrong hotel, I would have had to solve the mystery of the vanishing bag on my first day in a strange country. The Dusit Thani, which is where I was eventually deposited, turns out to be one of the more exclusive hotels in Bangkok: A sort of Thai version of the Ritz Carlton. Quite how I got myself booked into this den of wealth I cannot say, but I intend to make the most of it. Upon my arrival, my bags were whisked away by an invisible porter. All sorts of elegantly dressed gentlemen bowed and opened doors for me as I approached, and a young Thai lady escorted me across the lobby of the hotel (Which was more like Kings Cross station painted gold) to the check-in desk. Here, I was treated like a visiting dignitary and shown to my room on the 12th floor personally. The corridors are finely carpeted, with so many mirrors on the walls that I turned a corner and politely greeted myself at least twice - and the finery doesn't stop there. My room is quite the largest I have ever seen in all my travels - The bed is large enough to sleep about five, and given the proximity of Patpong this may well be the idea! I have a fully stocked fridge and bar, a big walk-in closet which has all sorts of twinkly lights that come on as I approach, and a view of Bangkok from my window that stops the heart dead! There is a video system in the room and a library of tapes for my viewing pleasure - although I so far haven't had the guts to see what sort of viewing material they have provided me with! The bathroom goes on until tomorrow - Mirrors on the mirrors, walk in shower, and I've never seen so many free toiletries in a hotel room. Soap, Cotton buds, sewing kit, shower cap, detergent, bottles of body lotion, shampoo and conditioner, toothbrush, comb, and an emery board. I can hardly shut my case. In the wardrobe is a complementary dressing gown, and I have a book in front of me telling me about so many hotel services that it is dizzying! There are five restaurants, a nightclub, swimming pool and spa, Gym, A whole floor of shops and boutiques. And the prices are laughably cheap - A notice in my room invites me to leave my entire wardrobe to be washed and returned the same day for about ten pounds ($7US).You can read my complete travel journals at http://www.offexploring.com/globalwanderer Good tip? (0) Bangkok, Central Thailand, Thailand beware of taxi drivers. they take you to places you don't ask. they get payed for it by the owner of the restaurant, shop,... Good tip? (0) Nonthaburi, Central Thailand, Thailand Very good province. There are office buidlings in urban. I used to work here too. Food in urban - rare. not plenty. not cool. I always be hungry. Food in Pakkret island - I like spicy fish ball mixed with something I forgot - fried. Some foodshop - not yummy. There are sweet/dessert shop... super plenty of dessert. so many that I didn't know what to buy.. and I didn't buy har har~~... but I bought some for my friend too ^_^ happy There was super fast boat too to go to the Pakkret island. It was so fasssssssssssst fooo~!!!!! Good tip? (0) Bangkok, Central Thailand, Thailand Very important information is that Bangkok or Krung Thep has heavy traffic jam during the rush hour, so made up your mind. The best place to visit should be the Palace and temples. And I'd suggest staying at beautique hotels (most located near Silom area - Downtown) to save money and living large! Good tip? (0) Bangkok, Central Thailand, Thailand Avoid the tuktuks (motorized openair 3 wheeled cart) there. The drivers will often try to scam you by offering a extremely cheap or free city tour where he'll drop you off at multiple gem stone/jewelry shops and tailors in hope that you actually buy something and make a commission off of it. Taxi Meters are generally okay IF they actually use the meter. If he refuses to turn on the meter, get out and flag another one down. The initial price they offer you if 4x the metered price. Motosai taxis are the guys wearing orange or blue vests on motorbikes. It's a great way to avoid the traffic and congestion if you are traveling alone. Also a fair bit more dangerous. The BTS and subway are probably the fastest options of getting around. Both are inexpensive and reliable...although crowded as Bangkok is a heavily populated city. Good tip? (0) |

Some cities reach out to illegal immigrants
Addison, Ill. offers computer training and ESL classes.
Addison, Ill.
Larry Hartwig knows what it's like to have constituents ruffled – or downright angry – over their Spanish-speaking neighbors. In Addison, Ill, a middle-class town just outside Chicago where Mr. Hartwig is mayor, roughly one-third of the population is Latino.
"There's a perception that if you have a lot of minorities, it's a bad community," he says. "We have our share of tension."
But instead of taking the route of nearby communities that have enacted laws hostile to immigrants, Addison has, among other projects, set up a resource center in a Latino neighborhood that offers everything from ESL and computer literacy classes to a food pantry.
After the federal government's failure to take action this summer, immigration law has in many ways devolved to a patchwork of wildly differing policies at the town, county, and state level.
While roughly two-thirds of immigrant-related ordinances enacted over the past 18 months have been hard on immigrants, in a handful of communities – particularly those with a longer history of immigrants – leaders are taking a different tack, and finding approaches to help immigrants integrate.
Last week, elected officials and policy experts from around the country convened in Chicago to share ideas on how to promote positive immigration measures.
"In the absence of federal policy, these localities and states almost have no choice" but to address the issue, says Muzaffar Chishti, director of the Migration Policy Institute's office at New York University School of Law. "But they're going both ways…. There's clearly a political space for positive measures even in this difficult terrain."
In Illinois – long a traditional destination for immigrants – towns' responses cover a broad spectrum. Waukegan, a northern suburb that has seen a large influx of Latinos, decided this summer to train local police as deportation agents and enforcers of immigration law;
Kankakee, on the other hand, created a "sister city" relationship with the small town in Mexico from which many of its new residents came and created a training program to help local police understand immigrants better.

Bring in a splash of color. While this home and its surrounding landscape have many traditional elements, the avant-garde outdoor art collection and furnishings delight and surprise. This sculpture takes the traditional urn form, blows it up to unexpected proportions and draws the eye from all over the yard because of its bright orange hue.
Make a bold statement. This gigantic urn sculpture is an apt choice for an olive grove, as large urns were traditionally used to store olive oil in places like Italy and Turkey. However, I think of this as an urn-inspired sculpture because I doubt even a large number of gladiators led by Russell Crowe could carry this thing around full of olive oil without creating an oily mess.
Create a fountain. This designer created a fountain using three hand-thrown Greek urns against a stone wall and three spigots.
See the rest of this home
See the rest of this home
A single urn fountain's bubbling water invites visitors to explore a garden.
Make a focal point. A large glazed urn plays off all the shades of green in this garden full of conical evergreen trees and rounded boxwood shrubs.
Likewise, you can use an urn as a focal point in a courtyard or on a patio.
Some pools go on to "infinity," while others need a focal point to mark the spot where they terminate. This black urn is classic because of its familiar shape, modern because of its placement and dark coloring.
Fashion a planter. Urns occupy the space between the ground and a stone wall here, serving as architectural bases for climbing vines.
Complement stone facades. Antique and reclaimed building materials were used throughout this Mediterranean-style home in Arizona. The urn's patina fits right in with the antique weathered palette.
Add an appropriately scaled architectural element. Large palm leaves and other tropical plants could eat up most garden statues like a Venus flytrap gobbles insects. This urn's simple shape does not distract from the shapes of the lush and exotic plants.
Create symmetry. A pair of urns glazed in deep blue hues connects a pergola to other elements in the landscape, like this pool.
Pick up on overlooked hues. The ochre of this urn ties together the colors of the dry grasses, the sand and weathered portions of the wooden fence.
Enhance an entryway's drama. This pair of urns reinforces the symmetry and accentuates the exotic feel of this inviting and exotic threshold.

So I stopped programming
Disclaimer: these are some ramblings about what I learned from endeavoring to work with wood and make some furniture for my new place. There's a main idea it all revolves around, and it ties up. I promise.
A few weeks ago my grandfather was diagnosed with cancer.
It took me by surprise, as it would take most people I guess, but it got my head spinning around an idea: what if I don't have the time I always thought I'd have?
That one was a shocker. It kept me in bed for a few days. It was one of those moments where you change an a-priori conception, and life as you know it ends. Everything changes, as per a sadistic magician's ultimate trick, and you're left with just one thing: yourself. Damn you Kant.
Nurture yourself, now. Because the problem is not thinking we barely have any time to dedicate to ourselves and put our sweat and blood into what makes us actually happy because of our...

ASU BASKETBALL: Belles all smiles after upset of TexAnns
Victory puts ASU in tie for second in LSC
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Notching her first win against her former coach wasn't the biggest reason Angelo State University women's basketball coach Cayla Petree had such a big smile on her face after Wednesday's Lone Star Conference win over Tarleton State.
Despite free-throw shooting problems down the stretch, the Rambelles managed to shake off the 25th-ranked TexAnns 60-55 to salvage a regular-season split at the Junell Center.
Petree grew up in Cisco in the 1990s and she was a neighbor of TSU head coach Ronnie Hearne, who she played one-on-one during her youth. After a standout career at Cisco High School, Petree stayed home and played for Hearne when he was the guru at Cisco College.
In their first meeting as opposing coaches on Jan. 8 in Stephenville, the teacher got the upper hand as the TexAnns rolled to a 74-56 win.
Chalk up the rematch to the grasshopper, even though she downplayed the personal side of the victory.
"Like I've said all week, I want to win them all and it was a special game to play against him, but I'm just so happy for our girls," the first-year Belles coach said. "It's not about me and our past relationship.
"I love him and I have the highest level of respect, but it's about the girls tonight. They came out and they battled. We came to play and we played for 40 minutes."
The Belles improved to 13-9 overall and 7-5 in the LSC to pull even with TSU and Texas Woman's for second place in the conference.
Hillari Adam scored a team-high 15 points for the Belles and Haylee Oliver and Amanda Weaver added nine apiece.
ASU's Karli Kellermeier, coming off a career-high 21 points against Eastern New Mexico on Saturday night, had a game-high 14 rebounds to go along with seven points.
"Tarleton's a really good team and what I was most proud of was our rebounding effort," Petree said. "We out-rebounded them 40 to 29 and (TSU's) Kiara Wright's one of the top rebounders in the entire country and Karli just battled with her all night long."
Wright, who likely will be the LSC Player of the Year, needed 23 points Wednesday to become the all-time leading scorer in TSU history. But she was held to 16. Shanae Lowrance and Brianna Bledsoe added 11 and 10 points, respectively.
A 3-pointer by Weaver gave ASU a seemingly comfortable lead at 46-31 with 11:46 remaining.
Sharp shooting from long range by the TexAnns and free-throw problems by the Belles helped TSU pull within 58-55 with 23.2 seconds left.
But Oliver came through in the clutch, nailing the final two foul shots for the Belles, after TSU's Kayla Turner missed a 3 with 9.3 seconds left.
Kellermeier says the Belles are playing their best basketball at the most important time of the year, but the former Wall High School standout feels the best is yet to come.
"We're coming together a lot in practice and we're getting a lot of stuff done and a lot of shots up," Kellermeier said. "Everything's just coming together now at the end of the season."
Her former Wall teammate, Adam, said the Belles were chomping at the bit for Wednesday's rematch.
"This is such a big win," Adam said. "We've been ready for this game since the second half of Tarleton the last time at their place.
"This is just a great atmosphere. It was definitely the biggest crowd we've had all year and that set our offense and defense and just got our adrenaline going and helped us play hard."
The Belles got off to a blistering start in the first half, especially on the defensive end.
They held the TexAnns to just 36 percent shooting in the first half on their way to a 30-22 advantage at halftime. ASU opened the game with a 12-2 lead.
ASU travels to Denton on Saturday to take on Texas Woman's at 6 p.m. in another key LSC matchup. The Belles' final home game is Feb. 22 against Cameron.

Randi Rhodes is right about Hillary, she is a FW.
Never forget what Bill Clinton did to America with his support of Milton Friedman's disaster capitalism. He signed NAFTA and added to the already giant sucking sound of American jobs going to low wage countries.
Wake up people. Hillary isn't going to change. We need a revolution–not more of the same. It is time to change our economic model from Friedman's neoliberalism to neo-mercantilism.
America first, good paying jobs first and if that means tariffs, like wage tariffs, so be it.

It's a great way to tell if certain strategies worked or not, which were more effective, etc. It's especially important because relationships with businesses usually take longer to mature than relationships with customers.

Someone wants to trade a Enfield made by savage to me.. He said its marked US property.... Just would like to know a little about it, Why would the US have Enfields? I know we made our own (M1917) but from what I understand Savage made them as a lend-lease for England, so why would it be marked US property? Would it have been used here? What would it be chambered in, .303 or .30-06? I know theres several models of Enfield, what ones would of Savage made?

Some reading for you. The Pattern 14 was in .303, the 1917 was in 30-06. Sounds like you may have a 1917, which was an EXCELLENT rifle if in good condition. Sgt Alvin York used one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_1914_Enfield
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
Savage made No4mk1* Enfields. They are U.S. property marked because of lend Lease. It should not Be a P14, That would be an odd find, but I don't think Savage made them. Usually the would be stamped W,R,or E for Winchester, Remington, Eddystone. It is most likely a No4. Great rifles!!
Freedom is not free. The best of us always leave too soon.
All lend-lease was marked US Property, because it was...........
When all else fails.
Sorry- Jpatterson and 303tom are absolutely correct. Had a P14 on my mind for some reason. And the polite fiction with Lend-Lease was "We are not selling or giving this to Britain, because we are NEUTRAL- we are just loaning it to a neighbor. See? Says so, right there on the rifle."

This week we're bringing you from-the-gut interviews with some of menswear's biggest names at New York Fashion Week. No canned responses; no cribbing from press releases. Just us shooting the shit with some of our favorite shot-callers in fashion. We'll be posting each Q&A before the designer's respective show. Today, we've got Michael Bastian, a 2007 Best New Designers in America finalist.
You're pretty much the ultimate jet-setter—where have you been recently?
Well, I spend so much of my time in Italy because of the line, and now that I'm doing Gant, I'm spending a a lot of time in Stockholm.
What's that like?
It's so different going to Stockholm after you're in the luxury worlds of New York and Italy—that scene really just doesn't exist like that in Scandinavia. Something like Acne is what's huge there. Plus it's cold. [laughs]
You need to get somewhere warm.
I have a friend in Argentina who's working as silent consultant on my next trip. I just haven't made it yet—that's a long flight. I have enough flying on my plate at the moment.
So what do you do when you get to spend time at home?
I'm a big fan of TV on demand. I'm embarrassed to say what I watch. It's the worst crap.
Spill it.
There's this show I'm watching called Bad Girls Club. All they do is spit on each other and call each other the worst names. I'm ashamed to say I've seen that and The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
So as a designer, care to comment on She by Sheree?
[laughs] No, because I'm afraid she's going to come after me! Her biceps are bigger than mine! I ain't messing with any of those housewives. Don't pull me down this road.

Powell police say they seized more than 100 grams of cocaine on Wednesday night at an East Seventh Street home and have arrested two individuals in connection with the investigation.
In a news release sent Thursday morning, Powell Police Chief Roy Eckerdt said roughly 108 grams of the illegal drug were seized at a residence in the Cactus Garden Trailer Court. The cocaine had a street value of more than $10,000 and some of it appeared to be packaged for sale in one-half to one gram weights, Eckerdt said.
Some $6,500 in cash was also seized, which officers believe was related to the sale of cocaine.
Packaging materials and paraphernalia for ingesting the drug were also taken from the residence in the Cactus Gardens trailer court, police said.
Between 9:30 and 10 p.m. Wednesday, Rosa M. Gonzalez, 49, and Ernesto Gonzalez, 58, were arrested on suspicion of drug-related felony charges, police said. On Thursday, the Gonzalezes were being held in the Park County Detention Center. Their initial appearances in Circuit Court may take place on Friday, a court official said.
Daniel Gonzalez, 32, of Powell, was cited for possessing a misdemeanor amount of cocaine and released, police said.

5 Rocket Stocks to Buy in This Turbulent Market
Dollar Tree
Even AutoZone's price performance looks pale compared to that of Dollar Tree (DLTR - Get Report), though. Shares of the deep-discount retailer have rallied more than 19% this year as recessionary headwinds enticed consumers to trade down to DLTR's offerings. With more than 4,000 stores, Dollar Tree is the largest "dollar store" concept in the country.
In a business where cost is really everything, Dollar Tree shines. The firm generates margins that ring in consistently near 7%, high for any retailer but particularly high for a deep-discount name such as Dollar Tree. Since the start of the recession, competition has been slowly encroaching from other discount and big-box retail names (such as Wal-Mart (WMT) and Target (TGT)), making Wall Street a bit too gun-shy about DLTR's growth prospects. But it's actually Dollar Tree's push into competitors' price points that make the stock most attractive right now.
DLTR has been building out non-dollar concepts in the last few years, a move that should do well for margins and could be particularly critical if inflation gets as high as some analysts predict in 2011. As long as uncertainty rules the markets, Dollar Tree should be a relative bastion of safety for investors. Dollar Tree is one of TheStreet Ratings' top-rated multiline retail stocks.

^ Mmmm... Here's a nit... Oh, and another one- OH I FOUND A SPIDER. What a treat.
Those beards are probably REAL. And shiny because they actually wash beards D: 0.0
lol no, they must be at a pro-feminine-beard party >.>
i just found some images :
some asian women : http://hinhxua.free.fr/autrefois/eth.../thieu-so7.jpg
and : http://perso.orange.fr/les.barbus/delait.htm :s
...I have a beard...
<= a Pennsylvanian woman
isn't it fuzzy enough ? lol
for images of prairie dogs : http://www.stoptazmo.com/showthread.php?t=22439
ps : more seriously i don't see any problem for someone to wear a beard or not shave...
=> of course for a woman it will feel really weird unless she has light hairs, but who am i to treat her as a clown or someone not even worth her mankind just for this ? Some people are just overdoing it xD
Mind you, it doesn't mean i'll want to establish physical contact with her
=> for a man, i see no problem at all... (i shave my beard personally.. from time to time ^^")
Clearly beards are in-part the essence of what it truly is to be a man. They defend from the twin evils of having to expend effort, via shaving, and chin-cold.
They have also been shown to improve pondering power and general intellect; many times has a bearded individual been seen to stroke their chin-locks deep in thought only to then astound their company with an awesome idea. Many scientists hypothesise that there are stores of certain neurotransmitters within the chin follicles which are realeased following a thorough stroking, thus increasing the processing speed of the brain. It's science, you can't argue with fact.
In addition, possessing a mighty facial rug has been known to have saved lives. As we know, movies are based of real life - where else would they get the inspiration? - and in many movies we see scenes in which people are desperately holding onto a ledge of somesort, i.e. a cliff or bridge or building etc, and often they will have a companion with then who unfortunately plummets to their doom either because they could not grasp the protagonist's hand properly or because their additional weight would have proved too much for just one hand to hold onto said ledge. These situations are so prevalent throughout life that they have become synonymous with moments of suspense; see the term 'cliff-hanger'. The humble beard however has been shown to provide said companions with a highly reliable and robust route to safety. By clinging with all their might to said facial hair, the protagonist is able to fully utilise their strength and manoeuvrability and still save their friend. This saves not only lives but also much time which would have been spent brooding over their failure later in life, which is also a cause for much rejoicing.
In closing, I would like to state that I am a scientist, therefore I deal in facts. As such, you can trust me.
she is french () though ;p (and it is the same woman on every image except the 3rd one, where it is her brother )
From what is said in the text, she decided to let her beard grow after having lost a bet, and after all she liked it and was proud of her beautiful beard (^^")
She was later invited to go in England because Englishmen are known to fall for bearded women, and later returned to France.. and that's it ;o

Byline: Phillip Zonkel Staff WriterIt's been a long way back for Dave Gahan.
The 41-year-old Depeche Mode singer remembers the band's 1993-94 ``Devotional'' tour, in which he says he was lost in a haze of drug abuse. But that wasn't the bottom. In August 1995, two months after 13-year Depeche Mode veteran Alan Wilder left the band, Gahan attempted suicide. Nine months later, he overdosed on a speedball (a cocaine-heroin mix) and flatlined for two minutes.
Shortly thereafter, Gahan entered a detox program.
The singer, who plays at the Wiltern Theatre on Monday and Tuesday supporting his new solo CD, ``Paper Monsters,'' says he's no longer a slave to bingeing, although it took a while.
``A couple of years after I stopped using drugs and drinking, it was horrible,'' says Gahan, calling from San Antonio, one of the stops on his solo tour. `I'd go to dinner with a bunch of friends, and they'd be drinking. I'd be looking at that half-empty bottle of wine on the table and trying to figure out why nobody was finishing it. ... Fortunately, in the last five years or so, that went away.''
Gahan has now channeled those demons into ``Paper Monsters.'' Marking his debut as a songwriter (he co-wrote the 10 tracks with multi-instrumentalist Knox Chandler), the disc is a canvas of autobiographical reflections set against a backdrop of Depeche Mode textures, as well as twisted electronica and swampy blues-rock.
Gahan uses ballads to confess the agonies and ecstasies of failed relationships and long-term love and the heartbreaking euphoria of fatherhood. His 4-year-old daughter, Stella Rose, is the subject of ``Stay.'' He also has two sons, Jimmy, 11, and Jack, 15.
``When I'm singing about things that are hopeful in my life, I'm honestly singing about them. I have so much to be grateful for,'' says Gahan, who also admits he's not always a shiny, happy person.
``I can be pretty mean and nasty at the drop of a hat,'' he says. ``I'm still working on a better balance with that stuff. I know I'm getting somewhere. It's like two steps forward, one step back.''
Gahan says the seeds for a lot of that anger were planted while growing up in Essex, England.
``My mom raised four kids on her own. She tried to do the best. My father left home when I was very young,'' Gahan says. ``When I was, like, 11, I had two younger brothers; I had to take care of (stuff). It was kind of weird.
``It was that usual adolescent stuff. I thought it was all my mom's fault. I was angry and resentful,'' he says. ``I guess I've carried some of that through.''
Frustration led Gahan to record the solo disc. Since its 1981 debut, Depeche Mode has found mega-platinum success with a formula of sensual, synthesizer-based grooves layered with guitar chords and drum machine arrangements. Gahan, however, thought the band was resting on its laurels.
``During the making of `Exciter' (the band's last CD), sometimes I felt a bit frustrated that there was a lack of experimentation,'' Gahan said, which led him to explore things on his own.
At this time, Depeche Mode's future isn't clear.
``I know I'm definitely going to keep moving forward when it comes to writing songs, working with different people,'' Gahan says. ``If Martin (Gore, the band's lyricist/keyboardist) wants to come along with that and we want to call it Depeche Mode, that's fine.''
A spokesman for Gore had no comment.
Still Gahan says he's proud of everything that's happened with the band. ``I wouldn't even be doing (`Paper Monsters') if it wasn't for Depeche.''

Fear and FaithBlackest matter pervading my head,seizing my limbs as I'm facing the dark,thoughts unwanted, unheard and unsaid,discarding thy redemptive salvaging spark. Shreds of light stroking my mind,creating a glance into heavenly place,my childish self, so naive and blind,thou enlighten for me oh to embrace.It's the infinite dance, the unending fight,a game to be lost by the vines of time,one leads to sorrow, the other to light,thou are the only to toll the ransoming chime.
Je t'aimeShe told me, "I love you this much!"stretching her arms outas far as they could go, fingers taughtand desperate.I looked at her, eyes smilingand asked, "Only that much?""That's all there is." She replied.And I agreed,"Vast oceans can not compare our our love,little bird."

Non-Memoryless Analog Network Coding in Two-Way Relay Channel
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Physical-layer Network Coding (PNC) can significantly improve the throughput of two-way relay channels. An interesting variant of PNC is Analog Network Coding (ANC). Almost all ANC schemes proposed to date, however, operate in a symbol by symbol manner (memoryless) and cannot exploit the redundant information in channel-coded packets to enhance performance. This paper proposes a non-memoryless ANC scheme. In particular, the authors design a soft-input soft-output decoder for the relay node to process the superimposed packets from the two end nodes to yield an estimated MMSE packet for forwarding back to the end nodes.

Elevation: 19,340'
Jambo from Mweka Camp,
We had a great summit day and the entire team reached the summit at 7:50 AM. It started about 11:45 PM last night when the alarm went off, and soon after we were dressed and packed for the climb. After a quick breakfast we threw on our backpacks and started up the trail. The team did a great job of climbing the 4,000'+ to the top, and the weather cooperated with us the whole way, with a little wind to start, but was almost calm while we were on the summit. It took us 7 hours total to reach the top, and after spending about 45 minutes on top, we began our descent down to our last camp on the mountain, Mweka Camp.
Everybody did very well today. Now we are settled into our tents and looking forward to a good night's rest. We'll get an early start tomorrow and finish the last section of our trek, descending to Mweka Gate.
Best regards,
RMI Guide Jeff Martin

Ofcom has proposed several changes in the regulations surrounding the broadband market, which it hopes will make switching Internet service providers (ISPs) easier than ever before.
In its Fixed Access Market Review 2014 report, the regulator laid out its intention to slash the fees certain ISPs have to pay to infrastructure provider BT Openreach, which supplies FTTC (fibre to the cabinet) capabilities to around 2.7m homes across the world.
Currently, companies have to pay a £50 fee when a new customer joins, but Ofcom has recommended lowering this to £11, a move it says will allows providers to offer lower retail start-up fees.
Openreach currently supplies connections to all UK national ISPs except Virgin Media.
The change could mean that ISPs absorb the new £11 charge into their monthly subscription fees, or include it as a one-off payment at the start of a contract. It may also lead to ISPs introducing shorter contracts in order to keep their customers from switching provider.
However, Ofcom has stopped short of capping wholesale access prices for Openreach's fibre network, which had been requested by TalkTalk.
"[Ofcom] believes the price of fibre broadband is currently constrained by the availability of standard broadband services, and by competition from Virgin Media's cable network," the regulator said.
However, it did say that it would soon propose new guidance on its future approach to the 'margin' that BT sets between its wholesale and retail fibre prices.
BT praised the decision, saying it a statement that it was "pleased that Ofcom has acknowledged the success of the current regulatory framework by maintaining pricing freedom for Openreach's fibre products.
"The UK boasts one of the most competitive markets in the world with around 140 CPs selling fibre via our open wholesale network, whilst more than 3.2 million households also take superfast broadband from Virgin Media."
Ofcom's review also proposed new wholesale price regulations for standard broadband and telephony, including a lowering of costs for shared unbundled lines, where BT provides the voice connection but the ISP provides the broadband connection. It recommends lowering the wholesale cost from £9.89 per year to £5.54 per year on 1 July, followed by 33.4% below the consumer price index (CPI) measure of inflation every year from 2015 to 2017.

Taliban gunmen target 14-year-old girl. Is this a new low for Islamists?
Malala Yousufzai, a schoolgirl who spoke out against the Pakistani Taliban, was seriously injured when Taliban gunmen fired on her school bus for 'promoting Western culture.'

Taliban gunmen in Pakistan shot and seriously wounded on Tuesday a 14-year-old schoolgirl who rose to fame for speaking out against the militants, authorities said.
Malala Yousufzai was shot in the head and neck when gunmen fired on her school bus in the Swat valley, northwest of the capital, Islamabad. Two other girls were also wounded, police said.
Yousufzai became famous for speaking out against the Pakistani Taliban at a time when even the government seemed to be appeasing the hardline Islamists.
The government agreed to a ceasefire with the Taliban in Swat in early 2009, effectively recognising insurgent control of the valley whose lakes and mountains had long been a tourist attraction.
The Taliban set up courts, executed residents and closed girls' schools, including the one that Yousufzai attended. A documentary team filmed her weeping as she explained her ambition to be a doctor.
"My friend came to me and said, 'for God's sake, answer me honestly, is our school going to be attacked by the Taliban?',"
Yousufzai, then 11, wrote in a blog published by the BBC.
