I have realised that a lot of people including me have fallen into a problem about which tag to use. Sometimes you just dont have a tag to put and are forced to use a random tag. I think either you should be allowed to make tags like the meta on both pokebase and battle subway, or are allowed to have no tags at all. You can always put all required info on the description anyway. And why six tags ONLY? eg: http://pokemondb.net/pokebase/88077/what-is-crasher-wake-doing - has the tag lucario. so...

At the 10th annual Missouri Photojournalism Hall of Fame induction ceremony, we announced the Photojournalism Hall of Fame, in Washington, MO, will be closing at the end of the calendar year. We are grateful to those who have supported the Hall of Fame for the past 10 years. We are especially grateful for the vision and continued support of its founder, William L. "Bill" Miller, Sr.
Dedicated to sustaining the Hall of Fame, the Missouri Press Foundation has been working with the University of Missouri School of Journalism to find a temporary home for the Hall of Fame until a more permanent location can be secured.
The 2015 induction ceremony location in October will be the Angus and Betty McDougall Center in Lee Hills Hall on the University of Missouri School of Journalism campus in Columbia. The 2015 inductee plaques, a sample of inductees' work and a robust collection of Hall of Fame photographs will be displayed in the center during the induction ceremony and for a few weeks. Throughout the year, photographs and inductee plaques will rotate periodically through a display case outside the center. Pieces not in use will be cataloged and stored.
We are still working to find a permanent location for the Photojournalism Hall of Fame. A fund of $40,000 has been established with Missouri Press Foundation to help with creating a permanent home. However, much more fundraising will be necessary before we can move forward on a designated permanent space. Any recommendations for a location or... continued...

ICE Blog
Welcome to our blog!
We'll be providing lots of entertaining updates about our bikes and trikes and life here at ICE.
Happy riding,
The ICE team
World record cycle to the South Pole
Thursday, January 09, 2014 - 04:44 PM
Maria, aged 35 from Wales, raced two men for the title and arrived at the pole hundreds of miles ahead of her nearest rival.
After 10 days cycling Maria completed the 400 mile expedition at approximately 1am GMT on the 27th December 2013.
Despite starting days later than her competitors Maria made quick progress on a recumbent trike designed specifically for the challenge by Inspired Cycle Engineering. The custom-made trike is stable and aerodynamic, which has allowed Maria to focus her energy on progressing through the gale-force winds and hazardous terrain.
The cycles design is based on a standard ICE Sprint recumbent trike with modifications to ensure it can tackle the rigorous challenge ahead. The frame is made, as standard, from aircraft-grade steel selected for its strength and fatigue resistance. It is fitted with 4.5 inch-wide snow tires for unsurpassed traction and float over snow and ice. The gears are effectively twice as easy as a standard mountain bike, which would allow Maria to climb 1-in-3 gradients.
The ability to climb hills with relative ease meant that Maria could take a shorter route to the pole than her competitors, which required scaling the formidable Transantarctic Mountains; a similar route to that of Scott and Amundsen in their legendary South Pole expeditions. On the recumbent trike Maria was able to ascend the Leverett Glacier, despite strong headwinds and deep snow, to reach the polar plateau.
"The trike is amazing. It's completely stable, even in extreme winds and I can take on long steep hills that I'd never be able to climb on a bike" said Maria.
With the mountains and glacier behind her Maria then faced over 300 miles of the polar plateau. The snow, wind and sastrugi made progress slow and arduous, but by cycling in 12 hour stints Maria continued to progress 25-35 miles (40-60km) each day.
After a well-deserved celebration, call home and rest, Maria will return to her home in Wales where she will no doubt start planning her next mammoth expedition.
Huge congratulations to Maria from everyone at ICE Trikes!
Race to the South Pole
Monday, December 23, 2013 - 06:46 AM
British adventurer Maria Leijerstam is well ahead of her two
male rivals in a race to be the first to cycle to the South Pole. Earlier today
Maria crossed the halfway point, extending the gap between her and her closest
rival to a massive 250 miles (400km).
Despite starting days later than her competitors Maria is significantly
closer to the finish than American, Daniel Burton, and Spaniard, Juan Menendez
Granados. The two men are cycling the
most common route from Hercules
Inlet to the South Pole on Fat Bikes – an approach that has been taken before
but without success.
Maria has taken a
different strategy: she's riding a recumbent trike, specially designed for the
challenge by Inspired Cycle Engineering.
"Fat bikes fail
because they get blown over in the high winds, or can't ride fast enough
through the snow to stay upright" said Maria.
The custom-made
trike is stable and aerodynamic, which enables Maria to focus her energy on
progressing through the gale-force winds and hazardous terrain.
The ability to climb
hills with relative ease is a huge advantage for Maria. It has enabled her to take a
different, shorter, route which requires climbing the formidable Transantarctic
Mountains; a similar route to that of Scott and Amundsen in their legendary South
Pole expeditions. Maria identified the Leverett Glacier as a cyclable route
through the mountains to the polar plateau. In the first three days Maria climbed
from sea level to nearly 8700 feet (2650m) on the recumbent trike against very
strong head winds and deep snow.
"The trike is
amazing. It's completely stable , even in extreme winds and I can take on long
steep hills that I'd never be able to climb on a bike" said Maria.
With the glacier
behind her Maria faced over 300 miles of the polar plateaux. The snow, wind and
sastrugi made progress slow and arduous, but by cycling in 12 hours stints Maria
continued to progress 25-35 miles (40 – 60km) each day. Earlier today Maria
crossed the halfway point on her 400 mile (650km) race.
After a hard days'
cycling just getting her tent up in the ferocious winds is a challenge. From
the relative comfort of her tent Maria updates her @whiteicecycle Twitter feed,
and a tracker records her progress on her website www.whiteicecycle.com.
Maintaining her current pace Maria should reach the South Pole well ahead of schedule, but will still have to forego Christmas celebrations for a hard days' cycling.
The NEW ICE Neckrest
Monday, December 23, 2013 - 02:57 AM
Cycle Engineering Ltd (ICE Trikes) announces the launch of their brand new ICE
Neck Rest, available on both mesh and hard-shell ICE seats. ICE is driven to
provide accessories that meet the same high standard as their trikes providing
a seamlessly high quality product.
design team have returned to the drawing board to redesign the ICE Neck Rest.
The outcome is yet another breakthrough in design. The newly designed fitting
systems for both seat configurations as well as a brand new Neck Rest Frame and
Padding System make it the most comfortable, simple and adaptable Neck Rest on
the market.
The new
clamps massively reduce the time taken to fit and adjust the Neck Rest. This
has been achieved by reducing the amount of assembly components. ICE has also
strengthened the clamping system on mesh seats to prevent the clamp from
rotating around the seat frame. Both fitting systems allow the height and angle
of the neck rest to be adjusted.
The Neck
Rest frame is made from a high strength aluminium bar rail that provides a
balance of strength and comfort. The uprights are now a standard bike saddle
rail width to allow the clamping of standard bike accessories.
Padding system is now made from two parts. An adjustable tensioning strap that fits
around the Neck Rest frame allows the rider to alter the tension and support of
the Neck Rest and the Pad.
The Pad
itself is wider than its predecessor for better weight distribution. The cover
contains a dense piece of foam selected by ICE to provide optimum support and
comfort. The foam is easily accessible so that it can be removed when the cover
is washed. The cover, made from a breathable material then wraps around the
tension strap using Velcro. The rear of the cover now has a highly reflective
strip for improved visibility.
that the Neck Rest is also used to manoeuvre the trike by hand ICE have
incorporated a handle into the frame making it even easier to move the trike

People who are medically vulnerable -- those with low incomes or chronic health problems -- who enroll in high-deductible health plans are at no more risk for cutting back on needed health care than other people who enroll in the plans, according to a new RAND Corporation study.
The findings, from the largest national study to examine the affects of high-deductible health plans, contradicts some of the earlier small studies that found medically vulnerable individuals cut back more than other people enrolled in the health plans.
The project examined the first-year experiences of more than 360,000 families nationwide who enrolled in high-deductible health plans offered by their employers from 2003 to 2007. The study, conducted with consulting firm Towers Watson, was published online by the journal Forum for Health Economics & Policy.
"One important issue is whether high-deductible health plans will leave low-income and chronically ill patients with inadequate access to health care," said Amelia Haviland, lead author of the study and a statistician at RAND, a nonprofit research organization. "We did not find greater cut backs for medically vulnerable families. The evidence suggests that non-vulnerable families, low-income families and high-risk families are equally affected under high-deductible plans."
High-deductible and consumer-directed health plans have been gaining favor as one way to help control health care costs. By 2009, about 20 percent of Americans with employer-sponsored health coverage were enrolled in such plans. A 2010 survey found that more than 54 percent of large employers offered at least one high-deductible health plan to their employees.
Health care reform is expected to further encourage enrollment in high-deductible health plans as such plans are expected to be a key offering in the insurance exchanges being set up in many states to help the uninsured find health coverage.

Recovery: US Economy has Worst Quarter in 3 Years
Posted By Daniel Greenfield On May 29, 2014 @ 11:47 am In The Point | 9 Comments
That recovery that Obama and the media keep talking about… it's coming any day now. That must be why the economic results every month keep underperforming the optimistic projections.
And while the recovery remains a talking point on Pennsylvania Avenue, rather than a reality on Main Street.
The U.S. economy contracted in the first quarter of 2014, the latest stumble for a recovery that has struggled to find its footing since the recession ended almost five years ago.
Gross domestic product, the broadest measure of goods and services produced across the economy, contracted at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.0% in the first three months of the year, the Commerce Department said Thursday. It was the first time economic output contracted since the first quarter of 2011, when it declined at a 1.3% pace.
Naturally the official word blames the cold because that way they can switch to promoting the total destruction of the economy through carbon credit taxation.
The estimate is down significantly from BEA's 0.1% advance estimate released last month and makes Q1 the U.S. economy's worst quarter in three years.
But don't worry. The economists have more optimistic economic projections. They consulted the entrails, donated to Organizing for Action and they're promising a bright future ahead. And then the real numbers will come down.

Nor'Easter Hits Sandy-Ravaged East Coast
The effects of a nor'easter is bringing wintry weather to the Northeast. The storm began blowing along the coast Wednesday — bringing new misery to those in New York and New Jersey. A lot of residents there are already without heat, power or in some cases, a place to live.

It's MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Steve Inskeep.
And I'm Renee Montagne.
Last night, a nor'easter blew hard along the coast bringing new misery to those in New York and New Jersey, already without heat, power or, in some cases, a place to live.
We're joined now for more on that storm by NPR's Martin Kaste who's in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Good morning.
MARTIN KASTE, BYLINE: Good morning.
MONTAGNE: Tell us where you are and what you're seeing, Martin.
KASTE: Well, I poked my head outside here - I'm on the boardwalk in Atlantic City, I'm standing near a little piece of it that didn't fare so well during Sandy. But it looks like this storm is now passing. It's still kind of cold and blustery, but the snow, the gusts of wind that we saw overnight, that seems to be dissipating. And basically, the real upshot of the storm, inland, was two or three inches of snow in some places, snow up in New York, Long Island - just kind of a cold, annoying storm - early winter storm.
MONTAGNE: So what might be a nice pleasant snow, is just added - piled on more misery to those who've been suffering this last week and a half. How were people able to prepare for this over the last 24 hours since it was predicted?
KASTE: Well, they really braced themselves, worried that it would be worse than usual, just because of the situation - everything is just so fragile here right now. The state lined up dump trucks full of sand and rebuilt - the best they could - some of the sand dunes on some of the islands on the coast of New Jersey. They asked people to evacuate to the low-lying areas. They were worried about tidal surge and some flooding there. That didn't turn out to be too big a danger. The real issue is the power restoration - these thousands of utility workers who are out trying to repair all the lines that were damaged during Sandy. So many people lost power then and they've done a lot of work getting that back up. And now, the real concern was that they would backslide a little bit. Yesterday, New Jersey governor, Chris Christie, said that if that was what happened, people would just have to deal with it.
GOVERNOR CHRIS CHRISTIE: And we'll just double back. We have 11,000 utility workers on the ground in New Jersey. We're housing them here. We're not letting them leave. They're staying. We're treating them real nice. And we'll make sure that they stay here and they get right back to work.
MONTAGNE: OK, so there's Governor Chris Christie. How long is this expected to last, this bad weather?
KASTE: It shouldn't last too much longer. There's - the forecast for the weekend is actually quite nice. They're talking about temperatures in the 60s. The governor said that would help re-accelerate some of the recovery efforts here. Even gave his word that, perhaps by the weekend, he would have some sort of a plan for the orderly repopulation, as he put it, of some of the closed areas, some of the closed neighborhoods on those islands.
MONTAGNE: Martin, thanks very much.
KASTE: You're welcome.
MONTAGNE: That's NPR's Martin Kaste, speaking to us from Atlantic City, New Jersey.

How long would you say it takes a player to show what he has? I say 3 years? There needs to be improvement where they are dependable and you know what they can do for you and do they fit in. Most only play 10 -12 years average and the stars don't seem to take 5/6 yrs to be stars.
IMO, all players are different. Many players throughout this leagues history have gone from mild contributers to instant superstars over a looong period of time. All players just hit their stride at totally different times, not to mention the impact a teams system has on a particular players strenghts. So, I dont think you can give it a exact time table like the ones you have listed. Thats my take on it atleast.
Depends on the individual of course. But I think if you don't see results after 3 years you've gotta be prepared to move on. Sometimes guys don't blossom till they hit their second team, and sometimes they never hit their projected "potential" at all.
As others have said, it depends on the player. But it also depends on the complexity of the play-book for the particular position. BB has gone on record as saying that TEs take a minimum of 3 years to develop in the Pats system. Its why people were re-miss in calling Daniel Graham a bust after 2 years. I believe that WRs should be up to speed by the beginning of their 2nd year and most certainly by the end of their 2nd year. QBs can take 2-5 years to develop. O-linemen can take 2-3 years as well, though many of the top ones are able to start right out of the gate.
The rub with the development time is that players (other than first round draft choices) are able to go to another team after four years. Tully Banta-Cain is finally showing a little something but is a UFA. This is why I hope the Pats alter their fiscal policies a little and sign a couple of impact players less than 30 years old. We need another Mike Vrabel or Rosevelt Colvin type signing.
Attention NEM I must have a fixation on the name Bob. When I was in the Army, I called Walter Gruenberg from Florida "Bob" for 2 years. After I found out his real name, I decided it was too late to change my greeting.

i am keeping this simple: the following list is a compilation of weird celebrity death lists. I excluded all the celeb deaths is well familar with i.e. the likes of James Dean and Natalie Wood.

Just after "I Fought The Law" became a top ten hit, Bobby Fuller was found dead in his automobile, which was parked external his Hollywood apartment. The police considered the death an obvious suicide/accident, notwithstanding, some people believe Fuller was homicideed. The investigation was botched from the start. The crime scene wasn't secured and no fingerprints were obtained. A witness also claimed seeing a police officer throw a can of gasoline found at the scene into the trash. Fuller was found with mulgratuityle wounds all over his body and covered in gasoline, main many to speculate that the perpetrators fled before they could set the car on fire. Police later changed the cause of death to "accidental asphyxiation" citing no evidence of foul play. Despite the official cause of death stated by authorities, rumors and hypothesis still surround Fuller's mysterious death.
Born in 1947, Marc Bolan was the lead singer of the popular group "T-Rex". Although his death, which arisered in 1977 as a result of a car crash, wasn't weird itself, his death was created strange by the fact that he feared he would die young and had a fear of cars. matters became even more strange when one of his band mates, Steve Currie, was also killed in a car accident just under four years later. Both died young. Bolan was just under 30 and Currie was 33, soon to be 34.

Buckley had gone swimming there several times before. A roadie in Buckley's band, Keith Foti, remained on shore. After moving a radio and guitar out of reach of the wake from a passing tugboat, Foti looked up to see that Buckley had vanished. Despite a determined rescue effort that night, Buckley remained lacking. On June 4, his body was spotted by a tourist on a riverboat and was brought to land
An post-mortem to illuminate the cause of Buckley's death showed no signals of drugs or alcohol in his system and the death was ruled as an accidental drowning. In order to illuminate the situation of his death, this statement was released from the Buckley estate:
"Jeff Buckley's death wasn't "mysterious," related to drugs, alcohol, or suicide. we've a police report, a medical examiner's report, and an eye witness to prove that it was an accidental drowning, and that Mr. Buckley was in a good frame of intellect prior to the accident."

When Falchetto drove off, Duncan's large silk scarf, a gift from Desti, and draped around her neck, became entangled around one of the vehicle is open-spoked wheels and rear axle. As The New York Times famous in its obituary: "Isadora Duncan, the American dancer, tonight met a tragic death at Nice on the Riviera. According to dispatches from Nice, Miss Duncan was hurled in an additionalordinary manner from an open automobile in which she was riding and instantly killed by the force of her fall to the stone pavement."

The shooting was, notwithstanding, delayed due to a technical difficulty and Hexum fell asleep on the set. Hexum awoke approximately fifteen minutes later and, realizing the scene was still not ready to be shot, began playing with the gun. Police later reported that Hexum had been playing Russian roulette, having loaded three empty cartridges and two blanks into the cylinder. He eventually placed the gun to his head and, after saying, "Let's see if i have got one for me!" pulled the trigger.
Hexum was obviously not aware that blanks use paper or pfinalic wadding to seal gun powder into the shell, and that this wadding is propelled from the barrel of the gun with enough force to bring on severe injury or death if the weapon is fired within a few inches of the body, specificly if pointed at a specificly vulnerable spot, such as the temple or the eye. Although the paper wadding in the blank that Hexum discharged did not penetrate his cranium, the wad struck him in the temple with enough blunt force trauma to shatter a quarter-sized sneak peek of his cranium and propel the sneak peeks into his brain, causing massive hemorrhaging.Hexum was rushed to the Beverly Hills Medical centre, where he underwent five hours of surgery to retwosome his wounds.On October 18, six days after the accident, Hexum was declared brain dead.

Albert Dekker (December 20, 1905 - May 5, 1968) was an American character actor and politician best known for his roles in Dr. Cyclops, The Killers, Kiss Me lethal, and The Wild Bunch. He is sometimes credited as Albert Van Dekker or Albert van Dekker.
His long-time fiancé, Geraldine Saunders final saw Albert on the May 2nd, 1968, when they attended the opening of The Latent Heterosexual, at the Hollywood Huntington Hartford.

This is where it gets good:
"Dekker was kneeling nude in the bathtub. A noose was around his neck but not tight enough to have strangled him. A scarf was tied over his eyes and a horse is bit was in his mouth, fashioned from a rubber ball and metal wire, the bit had chain "reins" that were tightly tied beneath his head. Two leather straps were stretched between the leather belts that girded his neck and chest. A third belt, around his waist, was tied with a rope that stretched to his ankles, where it had been tied in some kind of timber hitch. The end of the rope, which continued up his side, wrapped around his wrist several times and was held in Dekker's hand. Handcuffs clamped both wrists with a key attached. Written in red lipstick on his right buttock was the word, "whip." Sunrays had also been duncookedn around his nipples. "Make me suck," was written on his throat, and "slave," and "cocksucker," on his chest. On his belly was duncookedn a vagina. He had obviously been dead for several days.
He was 62 years old.
ETA: lloydsgurl addition:
Dr. Haing Somnang Ngor (Traditional Chinese: 吳漢潤, Wú Hànrùn;[1] March 22, 1940 - February 25, 1996) was a Cambodian American physician, actor and author who is best known for winning the 1985 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his debut performance in the film The Killing Fields, in which he paintinged Cambodian journalist and refugee Dith Pran.
On February 25, 1996, Ngor was shot dead external his domestic in Chinatown, in downtown Los Angeles, California. Ngor was buried at Rose Hills Memorial Park in Whittier, California. Many Cambodians claimed they had a stake in his estate, with one woman claiming he had married her after coming to the United States. Most of Ngor's Cambodian assets went to his brother, Chan Sarun, while his American assets were used up in legal fees staving off claims to his estate.[8]
Charged with the homicide were three reputationd members of the "Oriental Lazy Boyz" street gang who had a prior history of snatching purses and jewelry. They were tried together in the Superior Court of Los Angeles, though tinheritor cases were heard by three separate juries.[5] Prosecutors argued that they killed Ngor because, after handing over his gold Rolex watch willingly, he refused to give them a locket that contained a photo of his deceased wife, My-Huoy. Defense attorneys proposeed the homicide was a politically motivated killing carried out by sympathizers of the Khmer Rouge but offered no evidence to support this theory.
Some criticized the theory that Ngor was killed in a bungled robbery, pointing to $2,900 in cash that had been left behind and the fact that the thieves hadn't rifled his pockets. Why the thieves would have demanded his locket has never been answered; Ngor typically wore the locket next to his skin under his clothing, so it would not have been in plain sight. As of 2003, the locket hasn't been recovered.[9]
All three were found guilty. Tak Sun Tan was sentenced to 56 years to life; Indra Lim to 26 years to life; and Jason Chan to life without parole. In 2004, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California granted Tak Sun Tan's habeas corpus petition, finding that prosecutors had manipulated the jury's sympathy by presenting false evidence. This decision was reversed, and the conviction was finally upheld by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in July 2005.
Other notable deaths mentioned byers are : Randy Rhoads, Clara Blandick (wizard of oz star), Owen Hart, Paul Bern, Spalding Gray, "Hide", Michael Hutchence
I spent two hours on this list. I hope to the Holy Spearit and Godga that it gets through the gates of heaven. Let us not forget the apostle, Christchiina

I applied online – interviewed at Cardinal Health.
Interview DetailsI applied online to Cardinal Health after receiving a note through my college that they were looking for finance interns this summer. I applied online and received an email a few days later to schedule a phone interview.
Phone interview was nearly the same questions you see here on Glassdoor. "Why Cardinal Health? What do you know about our company? etc" I was excited and seemed to connect well with recruiter. I received an email a few days later inviting me out to Dublin, OH for final round interviews. They paid for all my travel expenses - flight, hotel and rental car.
Final round interview consisted of two back to back 30 minute interviews. I'm a finance major, but all questions were behavioral based. Questions about team work, leadership, time management etc. They told us we would here back within 2 weeks.
I reached out to my recruiter a few days later to see if I would receive an offer, because I had received an offer from another company that I had interviewed with. She let me know they would not be extending an offer to me. I was honestly pretty surprised, I had practiced and studied all of the questions I read on Glassdoor and a lot about the company. So, I can't really give much insight into what they are looking for. The other kids who were interviewing with me seemed very quiet and shy - maybe that's what Cardinal is looking for?Interview Questions- If you could start a bowling alley or ice cream shop, which would it be and why?

Life itself will never be the same without Roger Ebert
Thursday, April 11, 2013
Roger Ebert and I go back a ways. He never knew this, but I did.
I agreed with Ebert's reviews a lot of the time; the honest thing to say is that I largely considered his views as gospel and it probably took me a while before I even started asking myself what I thought of particular films. As a teenager, though, I never understood his two-star review of the action film "Die Hard," which for years was my favorite movie.
To me, Roger Ebert has no equal as a film critic. In college, my favorite professor would smile, patiently and politely, when I praised Ebert during our conversations. Then he would try to convince me there were even sharper critics out there — ones who subscribed to specific theories and could really deconstruct a film, technically and culturally, and pinpoint its exact place in The Big Picture. I listened but would have nothing to do with it.
In later years, after cancer forever took his ability to speak, his voice grew in power when he started keeping an online blog. His entries only occasionally touched upon films and instead focused on all issues — politics, science, religion, death, people, places, his memories ... you know, life itself. Some of Ebert's entries, particularly ones about illness and mortality, helped me better understand my father, who fought against a terminal disease for years and expressed similar viewpoints.
More than anyone, Roger Ebert has influenced my writing. Stephen King is another writer known for a particular focus — in this case, horror — but in recent years has connected with readers by often sharing his thoughts about life in general; we don't call him Uncle Stevie for nothing. From King I get inspiration, as his love of writing — his need to do it — is contagious. In recent years, I have started reading the classics — Dickens, Hemingway, Twain, Austen, Fitzgerald, Vonnegut and others. They're among the masters, of course, but for a writer like me their levels feel unattainable. A guy like me can read them, but not ever write like them.
I've had a lot of strong writing teachers in my life — ones who improved my grammar, offered encouragement, showed enthusiasm, and pushed me to think deeper and do better — but most of what I have learned about writing I learned from reading Ebert's work these last three decades.I hope I've used my words well here to pay tribute to Mr. Ebert. To play it safe — to guarantee an appropriate, heartfelt, and meaningful ending to this column — I will rely on the late Roger Ebert himself. What follows is a quote from his memoir. I hope it stays with you as it has with me.

Housing advocacy at work in Hungary and Bulgaria
Changes in housing policies and regulations can improve living conditions for thousands of citizens, without the need to build new homes. Habitat's recent work in Hungary and Bulgaria illustrates how this can work. In times of economic austerity, governments can offer affordable housing to those who are in need of it, if there is political will and cooperation with the third sector.
When the 2008 financial crisis hit Hungary, the government introduced strict fiscal measures and cut all existing benefits. As a result, a lot of homeowners could not pay their mortgages. At the same time, the banks and the state ended up managing a lot of property and dealing with low income families, experience they had hardly had until then.
For two years, Habitat for Humanity Hungary has been pushing for changes through the National Asset Management Company (NET), a government organization set up to bail out 25,000 families by buying their homes, settling bank debt and allowing them to live in the homes as tenants.
However, the system had a few problems. The strict criteria on need meant that many of the clients did not have the ability to pay their rents and utilities. The original law regulating the NET made it obligatory to cancel the lease and evict those who failed to pay rent or utilities in three consecutive months. At the same time, families who ended up in the program often had disproportionately big homes, with poor energy efficiency, and could afford to cover their expenses.
Two years of consultations with the NET by Habitat for Humanity have brought changes to the operation of the program. The government has introduced new rules on how clients are treated when they cannot pay, switching to fixed-term leases instead of eviction. Another change allows clients to move into smaller homes or apply for empty apartments, rather than stay in large homes that they don't need and cannot afford to heat. These improvements potentially affect 25,000 people, giving them security of tenure, social services to fix finances and flexibility to find affordable homes.
In January 2014, a coalition of organizations was established to fight poor housing conditions in Bulgaria. This initiative was led by Habitat for Humanity Bulgaria. It currently has 18 members.
The project aims to increase the role of civil society organizations in the decision-making process on national housing policies and their ability to advocate for changes in regulations on the local level.
Previously, Habitat Bulgaria has lobbied successfully to include a social housing construction program into the regional development strategy, currently under development. More than 6,000 people could benefit from the change – the number of tenants living in social housing in the areas included into the Bulgaria's program of regional development for 2014-2018.

Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub Review
I have been missing for quite sometime, I have been busy with office and life but I feel quite low today, and nothing can cheer me more than writing up a small piece for the blog so reviewing today an effective and gentle face scrub specially meany for oily skin. Biore pore unclogging scrub is listed as top favorites in the Allure 2013 best products list. I still feel its a bit overrated but nonetheless an effective and economic scrub.
Price: $6.99 for 177gm
Biore pore unclogging scrub it meant to remove the dead skin cells in gentlest was possible and unclog the pores. The inclusion of salicylic acid makes it a great candidate for acne prone and blemished skin too.
Biore pore unclogging scrub has a creamy texture with small round blue beads which feel very gentle on the skin and slowly melt away as you work with the lather on the face. The creamy texture does remove makeup and does not dry up the skin. Its one of the gentlest scrubs ever, but I don't think it will work for blackheads for the same reason.
In my opinion the strength of salicylic acid is a little low to fight acne or work on blemish.
This is one scrub that I shall definitely recommend to everyone from dry skin girls to oily. Its a great choice for the price tag. Another product which I found quite similar is the Neutrogena deep clean blackhead eliminating daily scrub, but the Neutrogena scrub beads were not as gentle as the Biore one but that too is a great pick.
Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub is my current favorite scrub. Which is your favorite scrub ?

Subterranean Homesick Matches
INXS took a stab in the '80s, but no one has really touched the creativity of Bob Dylan's film clip for "Subterranean Homesick Blues," where he flips through words of the song on stacks of posterboard. Until now, that is.
A few weeks ago, Shawn Harris from the Matches stopped by the Spin offices to chat about the SPIN.com Book Club and to show us his band's video for "Salty Eyes," the first track on last year's Decomposer. We were stunned. In the clip, the band displays words and phrases from the song on more than 50 pairs of old TVs and VCRs, allowing each pair to crash to the ground once the lyric has been sung. Even more amazing: The band executed this feat with elaborate choreography that would make Marty Scorsese's eyebrows bow in appreciation.
So watch the video below (co-directed by friend-o'-Spin Michael Coleman), then scroll down a bit further to see Shawn's diagram of the shoot. Then visit the band's MySpace page and listen to "Salty Eyes Video Cues" to hear the sped-up track to which the band acted out that choreography.

Still happy to keep squad intact
Dagenham boss John Still has admitted he was relieved to have a fairly quiet transfer deadline day and hold on to all his key players.Still - who has already sold Scott Griffiths and Solomon Taiwo for six-figure fees this season - managed to keep hold of the likes of Paul Benson while also adding Plymouth left-back Damien McCrory.Still said: "We did have a few enquiries about our players, but that's all they were."We never courted any offers because we didn't want to sell, but we have always said, if you want to make an offer, and it is of the right value, then we will look at it."There weren't any though and I'm delighted we can get settled and go again."

The Steelers hope to record their third consecutive victory over the Dallas Cowboys. With a win, Pittsburgh would even the regular season series with the Cowboys at 14-14 and improve to 6-8 at Dallas. The Steelers are looking for their 10th win in the last 13 games played in December. If Pittsburgh wins, it will be 8-6 on the season, marking the ninth consecutive season that the Steelers have won at least eight games.

Re: Week 15 Gameday Thread: Steelers @ Cowgirls 12/16/12
Please let us win. It was bad enough last week, I can't take the Skins in first place and the Steelers not in the playoffs.
Re: Week 15 Gameday Thread: Steelers @ Cowgirls 12/16/12
Well, ths is it. This is the game that defines the Steelers' season. A loss, and you can pretty much say they're done. It's vital the D start this game awake and ready to go - if they play the way the did last week, it will be a ugly game. As for Ben & Co., the key is the O-line protecting him and he not making any dumb mistakes. Penalties will be key. Keeping my fingers crossed- very nervous about this one.

FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) - An Army private has deferred his plea to charges he made the biggest leak of classified information in U.S. history.
Pfc. Bradley Manning was arraigned Thursday at Fort Meade near Baltimore.
Manning also deferred a choice of whether to be tried by a military jury or a military judge alone.
The judge is Col. Denise Lind. A trial date has not been set. Manning faces 22 counts, including aiding the enemy. That charge carries a maximum penalty of life in prison. The others carry a combined maximum of 150 years.
He allegedly gave the anti-secrecy website more than 700,000 documents and video clips. Defense lawyers say Manning was troubled and shouldn't have had access to classified material.

I've been doing some research on the J-frames (I'm looking at a model 442) and I'm trying to get a feel for how one would work for a novice shooter. I have seen some posts warning the novice away from the airweights because of the recoil being a bit much to deal with.
So my question is this... If I started said novice (wife) with some low recoiling hand loads, would that be sufficient enough to allow her to learn how to shoot it or is this just a bad gun for a novice to start with period?
I could teach her on my GP100, but that sucker is heavy and I think one that heavy is going to have some learning issues too.
