Safeguard Properties can't always guard against foreclosure foul-ups

National Fair Housing Alliance files discrimination complaint against Safeguard Properties
Safeguard Properties
of Cleveland bills itself as the largest privately held mortgage field services company in the country, which means it's inspecting and maintaining huge volumes of defaulted and foreclosed properties.
The downside of being so busy? Rare cases such as
this one
, described by
The Austin American-Statesman
in Texas.
From the story:
The workers who were supposed to clear out his neighbor's foreclosed house instead cleaned out Mike Moors' barn, making off with his wife's wedding dress, their love letters, his boat, his backhoe, the works.
Moors wants to know where his stuff is and when he'll get it back. The answer might be never.
"Are my things in storage somewhere?" asked Moors, 53, an unemployed construction worker who has been asking the same questions for more than a month. "Have they sold it at auction? How do I explain to my wife that she may never get her wedding dress back? There were many other heirlooms taken that are priceless."
Safeguard hired the crew to prepare the house next door for foreclosure in December, according to the newspaper. The company acknowledges the error "and says an insurance company is verifying Moors' claim and will soon have information for him."
Mr. Moors estimates the value of the missing items at $150,000; that figure has not been verified. He filed a claim last month against Safeguard and the lender, CitiMortgage
Diane Roman Fusco, a spokeswoman for Safeguard, this afternoon issued to
the following statement regarding the case:
"Safeguard immediately acknowledged the error in this case and has been working with Mr. Moors to resolve it as quickly as possible. Respecting confidentiality and privacy of the individuals involved, Safeguard does not publicly disclose details about personal matters or properties under our care.
Last year, Safeguard performed more than 14 million work orders on properties across the country. Instances of error are rare. When they do occur, we recognize that they are very personal to the parties affected, and we work to resolve them as quickly as possible. When we receive a claim, we follow a careful process to understand the allegation, determine whether in fact an error occurred, evaluate the alleged damages, and when merited, work toward resolution."
This and that
Space exploration:
Cleveland Clinic Florida
outgrown its space
in West Palm Beach and is exploring a move to a larger site in that city's downtown, real estate sources tell
The Palm Beach Post
"Cleveland Clinic's desire to move to a larger facility underscores the success the medical center has enjoyed since it first opened at the CityPlace Tower in 2007," the newspaper reports.
Cleveland Clinic's Health and Wellness Center is up to 30,000 square feet and includes patient exam rooms and diagnostic services, according to the story. But it needs 60,000 square feet or more of space, sources tell
The Post
. The extra space would be used for more outpatient procedures, diagnostic tests and medical offices.
Fast start:
, the new restaurant at the
Cleveland Museum of Art
, hasn't been opened long, but it's already garnering
national attention
Travel + Leisure
just named Provenance to its list of the country's best museum restaurants. Here's how it describes the upscale locale:
Provenance does in fact know the origins and lineage of food served in the 76-seat dining room (plus a casual café with atrium plaza seating). "Curator of Food" Doug Katz offers a changing three-course prix fixe menu that ties in with special exhibits, as well as items such as pan-roasted striped trout and Moroccan braised chicken. The French-inspired Mary Cassatt menu has included salade de chèvre, beef bourguignon and crème caramel.
Pump up the volume:
A little lower on the price scale, CNBC
draws attention
to the
Cleveland Indians'
plan to drop the price of 12-ounce domestic beers at Progressive Field to $4 and to cut hot dog prices to $3 from $4.50.
The story notes that according to
, "the average price of a beer in Major League Baseball last season was $6.10 with the highest price at $8 for a beer to watch the Miami Marlins (lose)."
"Through the course of those surveys, we understand that concessions was a barrier to the enjoyment part of attending a baseball game in Cleveland," says Kurt Schloss, the team's vice president of concessions. "Based on that feedback, it turned into how do we change the perception of attending a game and turn it into a positive."
Other teams, including the Houston Astros and Los Angeles Angels, have benefited from similar strategies, CNBC says.
"In the end, it's a classic cost-benefit analysis," according to the story. "If discounted beer and food attracts more people to the ballpark, they still pay for the ticket, pay for parking and may even buy more food since it's perceived as cheaper. Ultimately, it could mean more revenue rather than less."
Swimming season:
Cleveland Clinic
urologist is quoted in
this Reuters story
about an Israeli study that found human sperm are generally at their healthiest in winter and early spring, with a steady decline in quality from spring onward.
Previous studies, mostly in animals, have found similar results in line with those species' breeding seasons, says Edmund Sabanegh, who was not involved with the new research.
"The hard part of this is really sorting out what factor is accounting for this," says Dr. Sabanegh, chairman of the urology department at the Cleveland Clinic.
Dr. Sabanegh tells Reuters he doesn't think doctors will start telling men with low sperm counts to wait until the winter or spring to try to conceive a child.
"We would continue to encourage them to try regardless of the season, and they may benefit from interventions or treatments," he says.

text: 6 Tips for a Safer Summer By Jason M Carlton May 23, 2014 Every year, the trauma team at Intermountain Medical Center see numerous injuries, many of which can be avoided. Jody Carter, acute care nurse practitioner with the trauma program, appeared on ABC4 Utah to discuss 6 simple, yet potentially life-saving tips as Memorial Day Weekend marks the official start to fun in the sun.

Opinion | Features
It took a year to realise media might not be for meNewcomers can struggle to adjust to the fast-paced world of media agencies. Here Marco Del Castillo talks about the challenges he has faced in his first year at MEC. I'm days away from rounding out my rookie season in this industry and it has been a heck of a ride. A naïve student in the field of psychology and marketing, I have found myself in the thick of a fast-paced world filled with interesting people, a ridiculous amount of jargon and litres of beer, wine and champagne to rival the downpour of the 2011 QLD floods.
Malaysia Airlines marketing chief Dean Dacko on the mission to get the brand flying againDean Dacko is the head of marketing for Malaysia Airlines, a company that has experienced more upheaval in the last 12 months than perhaps any local brand in history. In this expansive interview with Robin Hicks at the Festival of Media Asia, the Canadian talks about how the twin air disasters of MH370 and MH17 have changed the airline's approach to communications, how these traumatic events affected him personally, and the plan to rebuild one of Malaysia's most revered national brands. Dean, you've been with Malaysia Airlines for just over two and half years. The last 12 months must have been particularly challenging?
Australia: Where the bloody hell were you?Australian businesses constantly bemoan the brain drain and loss of talent overseas, but Mumbrella editor Alex Hayes asks what are we doing about promoting the country as a destination for the best creative and digital minds in the world to come and live? The town of Denton in Texas has 125,000 souls, two universities, and its main employer at the moment is truck builder Peterbilt. However, it is desperately trying to bolster the contribution of creative and digital types to its economy as it looks to the future. I learned all of this whilst enjoying a coffee with the city's mayor, as could any of the 32,000 plus digital and creative and digital entrepreneurs that passed the stall at SXSW Interactive's trade show. Inspired I went wondering the enormous trade hall for Australia's version - but there wasn't one to be found.
Turnbull's media reforms might not go far enough for Murdoch's likingIn this cross-posting from The Conversation Ben Goldsmith of the Queensland University of Technology looks at why Rupert Murdoch voiced his displeasure at planned media reforms despite standing to gain. Earlier this month, reports suggested that Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull is preparing to take a media reform package to cabinet. The Weekend Australian called it a "surprise move" and reported that media executives were "shocked".
Netflix, Stan and Presto battle for consumer dollars, but what's the difference?The official arrival of Netflix in Australia today fires the starting gun on what could be one of the biggest marketing wars this year. Miranda Ward runs the ruler over the new local offering and how it measures up the its US counterpart, as well as local players Stan and Presto. Australians have never had so many options as to how they consume content - but for people looking to dip their toes in the video streaming waters the options are many and dazzling with many shows carried by more than one service, and all having different exclusive content. I've been using the US version of Netflix for the last month, while I've also experimented with Stan and Presto. But which will consumers choose?
The telco 'triple play' wars and not subscription video services will reshape the media landscapeLast November Nic Christensen looked at how the new streaming services were just part of a larger war between the telcos. With today's launch of Netflix locally we revisit the piece - and in a postscript look at how it has played out so far. Brace yourself, a media winter is coming. But it's not the impending streaming war between Presto, Netflix and newly minted Stan that you've been hearing so much about that will redefine the Australian media landscape, but rather what sides the various media companies fall on.
The most interesting speakers at SXSWWith over 1,000 sessions at SXSW Interactive this year there was a lot of competition for attention. Here Douglas Nicol outlines the three speakers he got the most from at this year's event. You get wonderfully judgmental about each presenter pretty quickly at SXSW, you sort of know if the speaker is going to be good within 10 minutes, and if they're a dud you quickly switch to another concurrent session. But if you've done your homework you strike gold most days. Here are 3 of the people who I found pretty damn interesting and inspiring:
Will Colvin - the George Costanza of Australian online journalism - should have quit, not dumped on his colleaguesFormer news.com.au night editor Will Colvin has written an article for Sneaky magazine celebrating how little work he used to get away with on the News Corp-owned site. Mumbrella's Tim Burrowes argues that by staying in the job, Colvin denied it to somebody else who needed it more. It seems to be journo confession month.
What the passing of Malcolm Fraser really says about today's politicians' communications skillsFollowing the death of former prime minister Malcolm Fraser and comments that he under achieved while in government Burson-Marsteller CEO Christine Jones offers some pointers on how politicians could communicate more effectively in an effort to be remembered in a more positive light once out of office. Like many people, I was saddened to hear the news that Malcolm Fraser passed away overnight. Since the news was announced a few hours ago, tributes have flowed in from all corners of our country and around the world. It's a fitting acknowledgement of his service to Australia and Australians over many decades.
Data retention plan amended for journalists, but is it enough?Data retention has been in the headlines in recent week but do the proposed amendments go far enough in protecting the media asks Angela Daly, Swinburne University of Technology and Adam Molnar, Deakin University in this cross post from The Conversation. The House of Representatives has finally passed the third tranche of national security legislation, concerning the mandatory retention of all Australians' data when they use telecommunications services. In the wake of concerns about how such data retention could impact upon the media, the government and ALP adopted amendments to the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Amendment (Data Retention) Bill 2014. These amendments entail that law enforcement agencies aside from ASIO wanting to access journalists' data to discover their sources would first have to seek a warrant.
Are magazines frozen in time?Amid ongoing reports of the death of print, Carat's Christine McKinnon looks at some possible future revenue streams for magazine publishers. Two weeks ago I walked into a news agency to retrieve my subscriber copy of the News Corp Disney Frozen book and CD. As I walked in something seemed out of place. The stationery was along the walls as it always had been; the middle aisle, however, was full of extracurricular study books for primary school students. I wandered over to the counter and asked nervously "where are your magazines?" The owner smiled, and yes, with pity said: "we don't sell magazines anymore…no one bought them – we had too many returns - we make more money out of text books." There was not a single magazine to be seen - not even a Woman's Weekly or a Delicious. It was a Twilight Zone moment, a one way moment. There was no going back. "We don't sell magazines anymore." It was over.
Digital Shift: Tomorrow's Relationship and IdealsKristy Richards, and Daniel Bluzer-Fry present a synopsis of their talk at SXSW looking investigating what effects 'game changing' technologies may have on who we are and our relationships and ideals in the future. Technology and the rapid pace of innovation is having a profound effect upon all of our lives. The positive draw of the benefits of tech is hugely enticing.
Grappling with human immortalityRoger Box finds himself wrestling with existential questions after learning about mind clones.One of the reasons to come to SXSW is to get exposure to new ideas, and you hear the phrase "mind blown" a lot around here. The session that did that for me was from Martine Rothblatt who gave a keynote talking about mind clones – the idea that humans can transcend software and potentially live forever.
The politics of passion can help you change the worldAl Gore's passion about averting climate change should give every creative food for thought, argues Andrew Grinter. In all honesty, my interest in politics doesn't go much further than bunging on Netflix's House of Cards. But like a fourth-wall-breaking Spacey monologue, when Al Gore explained complicated, sometimes politically charged subject matter, he held my attention. At this year's SXSW interactive festival, he used his enviro-celebrity status from An Inconvenient Truth to talk about the costs of carbon pollution and the challenges it presents.
Gen Y want mentors, not ping pongThe media agency world is notorious for its high churn rate. Foundation's Rachael Lonergan looks at what Gen Y employees at her business want and argues it's not the added frills that many agencies try to offer. I work for a boutique media agency where around 75 per cent of employees are under the age of 30. We don't have the space or to be frank, the budgets, to provide our staff with the workplace playgrounds ubiquitous in the larger agencies, who seem to have everything on offer from sleep pods, to ping pong and foosball tables, in house baristas and bars that are fancier than the wine bar down the street.
Jon Bisset is new boss of PR association
Australia's industry body for those in PR has a new boss – Jon Bisset, formerly CEO of the Council of Ageing for NSW.
He has been appointed as CEO of the Public Relations Institute of Australia following the departure of executive officer Cathy Baker in May.
Bisset's career has been mainly as an administrator within the associations sector. He has held roles as the Deputy CEO of the Fundraising Institute Australia, GM of operations for Netball Australia and as the CEO of Australian Canoeing.
PRIA National President Tracy Jones said: "The PRIA has been through a period of reform and is in the process of expanding its offerings to members. Jon joins us at the perfect time to drive the organisation forward and meet the demands of PR professionals."
Bisset said: "This is a great organisation steeped with highly innovative products, skilled and dedicated officers and employees, and a solid and loyal membership base. I'm excited about the opportunity to lead PRIA and build on its current momentum."

Customer Ratings:
My skin is extremely dry. It was a mission trying to find a cream thick enough that won't make my face red and thin enough to quickly absorb and retain the moisture in my face for a long time. The search is over! This is the ONLY facial moisterizer that effectively moisterizes my face for hours! Simply an oasis of hydration
The only con is that Paulas Choice doesn't have this in a body moisturizer! It would be the complete package. I would pay anything
I've used this moisturizer every night for years. About a year ago I noticed more fine lines on my cheeks and eyes and I began dabbing a layer of this cream on those areas during the day. I would give it about a minute to absorb before applying my sunscreen and then makeup. The effect was amazing - it totally plumped up my skin and made those fine lines almost invisible underneath my makeup. I love how it absorbs completely without leaving any greasy feel!
I must tell you, Paula, how much I love this product. Years ago when I first purchased it I thought the slight smell was not to my liking and then one day after swimming my face was painfully irritated so I dug around in my bag and the only thing I had on hand was the Hydrating Treatment Cream. The instantaneous relief and lovely texture hooked me right then and there. I now enjoy the scent because the association between it and calm soothed skin is hard wired in my brain chemistry. Thank you.
This is a great moisturizer. I don't necessarily have "dry" skin, but I sometimes get dry patches on my chin and eyes. I was scared this would be too heavy for my oily T-zone. Not at all! While the RESIST Anti-Aging Clear was okay, it was not always moisturizing enough. This is perfect and has not caused me any breakout and has given me smooth skin. I do get a slight shine, but I use this at night so it's not a big deal. If you have finicky combo skin it is worth checking out!
This moisturizer is different from any other I have tried. It leaves your skin feeling soft and nourished but the best part is that it's not greasy or sticky. I'm not sure it is the most moisturizing moisturizer I have used but my skin is more combination. It works great for me as it doesn't make the oilier parts worse and soothes the dry areas.
Eye creams and moisturizers always seem to creep into my eyes and irritate them no matter how careful I am applying them just on the contour. This is the first one that absorbs and keeps my eyes from tearing up! I have oily skin and it doesn't make my skin feel greasy either!
I absolutely Love the Paula's choice products! I started with this moisturizer and moved to using
All of her products. I really love the information she provides on the products and the effectiveness of them all! This moisturizer leaves your skin feeling very moisturized, smooth and silky! These are no nonsense products that really work! I even have my husband using them! And what I love most, I'm not spending $500 every 6 months on specialty products anymore! And my skin is the best it's been
I originally bought this for my fiance as he has dry skin and bough the Ultra Light RESIST moisturizer for myself as I have combination skin with hormonal acne. I found that my skin needed more moisture with the daily exfoliating and this works perfectly as a night cream for me. It's incredibly moisturizing and soothing but not heavy or thick. I use this as an eye cream as well.
I bought this a few months ago when the Skin Recovery Moisturizer was out of stock. It's not quite as moisturizing as the SRM, but it's pretty good on my extremely dry, eczema prone skin with rosacea. I would recommend it if the SRM is too heavy for you. I just ordered a tube of the SRM to finish out the winter with, and I may put the Moisture Boost aside to use this summer.
Another winner, Paula's Choice!
Received samples. U have dry aging, stressed, sensitive skin. This cream is very soothing. I also use eye cream. (Use retinol face treatment, it can be used around eyes too) . Use booster over it.my skin still feels soft Body size please.
I have combination skin, so this was too heavy for me to use regularly. However, I do use it to spot-treat dry spots at night. I think this would work very well as an all-over moisturizer for those with dry skin but not prone to breakouts.
I have combination skin and I often get pimples I've been on the Regimen wich really helped me but left my skin very dry and red. I decided to try this moisturizer and after two applications ( I use it at night) my skin was changed. My skin is no longer red and my makeup application in the morning is so much easier. I've just reordered another one today. A big thank you for this amazing moisturizer.
I feel comfortable on my skin when I applied the product, but I don't feel super moisturizing. The tightness and lacking moisture on my skin are gone, but I kind of want to have more moisture from this product. Therefore I don't have to apply twice every night.
I have liked this cream very much for my dry skin. It is non greasy, soothing & really does a good job moisturizing my skin. I use the Moisture Boost cleanser (alternate occasionally with the Skin Recovery cleanser), Skin Recovery toner, Skin Recovery serum ( fantastic btw!) and this cream. This routine keeps my skin looking good,& healthly. My 50+ yr old face looks smooth, radiant & youthful- thanks, Paula!
I really adore this moisturizer. During the summer I use it at night; during the winter months I pair it with my SPF moisturizer to give my skin more moisture. I love that it has no scent and absorbs quickly. I've also started to use it on my 3yo, who has very sensitive skin and slight eczema on his cheeks -- it makes his skin smooth and the fact that it doesn't smell is a huge bonus!
I have mostly dry sensitive skin. This has got to be the best moisturizer not only for nighttime but daytime as well. For daytime use I combine a small amount of Moisture Boost with an SPF lotion or SPF tinted moisturizer and primer. It mixes well with other moisturizers. Adding Moisture Boost keeps the dry feeling away all day. A little goes a long way and no more eye cream. Please don't change the formula.
Have loved this as my night time moisturizer, but this winter it has also effectively softened the lines and wrinkles around my eyes and mouth during the day. Sometimes I forget to apply after spf but before makeup, and rather than go without I'll use ring finger to tap some over the top of makeup and lines are softened immediately. It also beautifully moisturizes dry, chapped hands. I have mature skin and this is a holy grail product for so many reasons.
As I live in Canada I bought this moisturizer along with the Vitamin C and skin recovery serum. I was disappointed in the small size of the moisturizer. although the cream appears to be agreeing with my sensitive skin, I think next time I will just go to Walmart and purchase Olay Regenerist product for same price. I also bought the moisture boost cleanser which I like. Will give review on
vitamin C and recovery serum
In my review under theC15 booster and Replenish Serum I sung the praises of Paula's products. I simply love this combo. I had such success with moisturizing my face that I decided to treat my hands the same way. I use 3 drops C15+serum on my hands morning and night. My hands have never been this soft! Winter is usually SO hard on my face and hands but this year (even with -25C), both hands and face look and feel supple. I couldn't be happier.
I think all of Paula's products are life savers, and I am continually excited when I try something new and discover it works for me!! I realize not everything works for everyone, so that makes it so much better when it does work for me! I basically face-planted into my mid 40's this year, and trust me, it was my face that took the biggest hit! So finally finding a moisturizer that really makes my face look and feel good was a miracle! I think it may have actually taken a year or two off! Yea!!
I use this on my normal skin at night whenever I go overboard on my anti-aging treatments. Great for the occasional nights that my skin is dry. The next day, my skin is no longer dry and I can use something less emollient. Does not cause sensitivities even when I'm reddened by a harsh product. I intend on using more PC products to avoid the overboard stage in the future. I probably won't have need for this later unless I make another trip to a very cold climate.
I am mid 40's & my skin is tanking hard. This winter I got super dry & saggy. Also have rosacea & photosensitive hypothyroid skin & I can hardly use anything w/o reaction. I was drinking soy by the barrel b/c it hydrates me but was fearing the estogen, then I found this stuff -a life saver! Have been getting some bumpies though so trying to figure if i'm using too much or another sample is doing it but God Bless Paula and her little samples b/c at least I'm not a dried desert right now!
The texture of the lotion is lovely, and it moisturizes nicely. Unfortunately, after a week's use I noticed my facial seborrheic dermatitis reappearing, and this moisturizer was my only new product. I don't have this problem with the SR moisturizer, so I'm sticking with that one.
I use this as night-time moisturizer for my very sensitive skin. It's soothing & comfortable, while feeling relatively light, and doesn't leave my skin feeling dry by morning, like other creams I've tried. In really harsh winter months, I switch to the Skin Recovery Cream, if necessary. However, this Moisture Boost cream is my favorite for most of the year.
What makes this product unique? Moisture Boost Hydrating Treatment Cream is a rich oasis of hydration for dry skin. It provides a protective barrier against the harsh effects of the environment with its unique combination of plant oils, antioxidants, emollients, cell-communicating ingredients and skin-identical ingredients. The lush, creamy texture glides on and leaves a moist, radiant finish without feeling greasy. Skin is smoothed, luxuriously soft, and fortified with what it needs to repair itself and become healthier. The result is smooth, comfortable, younger-looking skin!
This moisturizer is 100% fragrance- and colorant-free.
Who is this product for? Moisture Boost Cream is recommended for normal to dry skin or dry areas. Excellent for use around the eye area (it's Paula's favorite eye cream!).

I have this embarrassing problem that I need to share. It's not halitosis, bromhidrosis or even osmosis (that last one doesn't really make sense but I was running out of "osis" words). My problem is that I tend to think that I'm something I'm not. In other words, I'm prone to pride. For example, I tend to think I'm smarter, kinder, more spiritual and funnier than I actually am [EdiTOR's note: that last example is the toughest one for me to personally believe.] It seems that I … [Read more...]

The Crippling Power of Pride
I had a conversation yesterday with a colleague from work that continues to linger with me. During our small talk, the conversation turned to the topic of our children respectively. He happens to have a 20-something son who teaches English to executives in Japan. His son also works part-time at a Japanese university where he teaches English. When I asked if his son spoke Japanese the father replied, "...not very well..." He went on to say that when his son goes to the doctor's office … [Read more...]

They said, "Only a few pages.. We have so many other things to do, we cannot read such a big book." Thousands of pages, and all rubbish, written neither logically nor rationally, but as if someone had gone insane. Karl Marx goes on writing anything that happens in his mind. Sitting in the British Museum, surrounded by thousands of books, he went on writing and writing. You know, it was almost an everyday ritual that he had to be dragged out of the museum at closing time. He had to be forced to leave; otherwise he would not go. Once in a while he was even taken out unconscious.
Now this man has become a god! There is something like an unholy trinity: Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, and of course Lenin - these three people have become almost like gods to millions of people on the earth. It is a calamity, but I still mention the book - not that you should read it, but so that you do not. Underline what I have said: Do not read it. You are already in a mess. Enough of it. No need for Das Kapital.
Fourth: Remember that Marx is also a Jew. This is a whole line of Jews. Fourth, Sigmund Freud, another Jew. His great work is Lectures on Psychoanalysis. I don't like the word analysis, nor do I like the man, but he managed to create a great movement just like Karl Marx. He is also one of the dominant figures of the world.
Jews have always dreamed of dominating the world. They are really dominating. The three most important men who can be said to be dominating this age are Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, and Albert Einstein. All three are Jews. The Jews have achieved their dream, they are dominating. But Marx is wrong as far as economics is concerned; Freud is wrong because mind is not to be analyzed, but to be put aside so that you can enter into the world of no-mind.
Albert Einstein is of course right in his theories about relativity, but he proved himself to be utterly foolish when he wrote a letter to President Roosevelt proposing to make the atom bomb. Hiroshima and Nagasaki - the thousands of people who died there, burned alive, are all pointing towards Albert Einstein. It was his letter that started the process of making atom bombs in America. He could never forgive himself; that is the good part of the man. At least he realized that he had committed one of the greatest sins possible. He died in utter frustration. Before he died he said, "I would never, never, never again like to be born a physicist, but only to be a plumber."
And he was one of the greatest minds in the whole history of man. Why was he so frustrated with being a physicist? Why? For the simple reason that he was not conscious of what he was doing. He became aware only when it was too late.. That is the way of unconscious man: he becomes aware only when it is too late. The conscious man is aware beforehand.
Fifth.I have so many Jews waiting it is so difficult: whom to choose and whom not to choose? And you know Jews are not easy people to deal with. I should rather drop the whole line than bother. So I will start with something else. Be finished with the Jews, at least for the moment. Disperse all of you! I am talking to the Jews, not to you.

The Scouts Australia Institute of Training (SAIT) is a Registered Training Organisation, acredited with the Australian Government to offer qualifications in Business, Leadership and Outdoor Recreation. We also deliver certain other qualifications in partnership with other RTOs. Content is delivered through Scout training courses.
Where can I get help?
As always, the first place to find help with anything Rover-related is your Crew Leader, Rover Advisor and Region Executive. They will either be able to answer your questions, or put you in touch with someone who can - a Personal Leader Advisor or someone from the Rover Training Team.
How to complete SAIT E-Learning modules
Go to sait.scouts.com.au/rovers
Select Victoria as your Branch and enter your Scout Registration number (click here if you don't know it) and enter your password.
If you have never logged in to SAIT eLearning or the national Scout Central website, this will be your date of birth in DD/MM/YYYY format.
Once you log in, you should go to the Rovers page.
If you are a leader in another section, you may be taken to that page instead. To return to the Rovers page, click e-Learning Modules and then Rover Scouts.
Near the top of the Rovers page, is a Progress Chart that outlines what eLearning modules you have completed. To attend a Basic Sectional Techniques course, you need to complete all modules in the Basic Core and Basic Sectional Techniques - Rover Scouts lists. The same applies at advanced level. This is so that if you become a Leader in another section, you will not have to complete the core modules again.
To start a new module, or resume a module you have not yet completed, scroll down to the module's summary and click on Launch Module.
Each slide of the module has several controls. Next, which moves you on to the next slide. Back, which returns you to the previous slide. Replay Slide plays the slide narration for you again. There is also an audio slider and mute button which control the volume of the slide narration.
Several slides in each module will contain a resource for you to download.
Other slides in the module will contain a worksheet for you to download and complete. These can be printed out and slid into your workbooks, replacing the page that was printed there originally.
When you see this page, you have successfully completed the module and it has been recorded on the SAIT server. If you are using a eLearning CD, you will be prompted for your details to generate a code to send to the Victorian Scout Centre to have the modules recorded.
If you wish to print this guide, we suggest downloading the the one-page guide below.

text: Starting a new thread since the previous one had over 1000 posts.... As is usual, here comes a lengthy post full of info on Lancôme cosmetics and skincare .... While doing my Christmas shopping, one of the things I bought was the foundation that MiniCyn wears, and in addition to that, I purchased their Beauty Box. It's $59.50 with *any* regular Lancôme purchase and TOTALLY worth the money. Instead of having a bunch of stuff in extremely small amounts like most cosmetic lines do for their Christmas/Holiday Beauty Box sets, Lancôme instead opted to have not quite as many items, but the items in it are all full (regular) size (with the exception of the Génifique, which is a .25 oz maxi-sample - the normal size for a bottle of it is one ounce, which costs $70.00, so there was unfortunately no way they could include it in the BB without dramatically increasing the price. I did the math for all of the products in the BB (minus the Génifique sample), and if purchased individually, the total for all of the products it contains would be a whopping $274.00 (excluding sales tax), so $59.50 isn't just a pretty damned good deal, it's a fcuking AWESOME deal steal, so to speak . I anyone is interested in this, here's the link: Lancôme's Beauty Box. The department stores are pretty much sold out of their stock of Beauty Boxes (they're usually gone less than a week after they're available in the stores), so the only way to get one is to purchase it online. Here's what it contains: - One bottle of Bi-Facil (their make-up remover - the best product of it's kind on the planet) - One Definicils mascara in Black - One .25 oz. maxi-sample of Génifique - One All-Over Shadow Brush (Lancôme's #22 brush) - One Synthetic Liner Brush (the white brush end of Lancôme's #18 shadow brush, which is normally dual-ended with a natural bristle brush on the other end) - Two Color Design lipsticks - Two Juicy Tubes (lip glosses) - Three Color Design eye shadows - One Le Crayon Khôl EyeLiner Again, all of these products (except for the maxi-sample of Génifique) are the regular, full-sized ones you would normally buy individually at full price. Plus, it's all packaged in what they describe as a "beautifully feminine train case." The case is black, and I have to admit that it's pretty darned cool looking. The Bi-Facil, mascara, brushes, and Génifique are identical in both Beauty Boxes. The rest of the items (the lipsticks, juicy tubes, shadows, and eye pencils) are available in two color palates. The color palate with "warm" shades is called "Sparkling Champagne," and are neutral shades (a little too neutral IMO) and are primarily light shades of earth tones - the eye shadow colors are cream, brown, and one other that I cannot remember at the moment. The eye pencil is brown, and the lipsticks are earth-toned, as are the Juicy Tubes (again, I don't know the names of the colors for any of them ). The color palate with "cool" shades is called "Smokey Plum," and the colors in it have a bit more "pop" to them. Even though I'm an "Autumn" and generally stick to warmer tones, I can easily use the shades in the Smokey Plum color palate, and I would recommend it over the Sparkling Champagne to most everyone (though I know that there are definite exceptions to that suggestion). Although I don't know the names of the colors for the Sparkling Champagne products, I do know the colors for the Smokey Plum . They are: Juicy Tubes Lip Glosses: Fruity Pop and Magic Spell (both part of their regular inventory) Lipsticks: Fashion Icon (available in their regular inventory) and Delicate Orchid (limited edition color) Eye pencil: Black Ebony (part of their regular inventory) Eye Shadows: Nude Silk, Sultry Violet, and Silver Twilight (all limited edition colors). ********** My at Lancôme also loaded me up with a bunch of maxi samples - some of them were for products they've had for a while, along with ones for their newer products: - 2 sample tubes of Cils Booster XL (which is their mascara primer and a great product to help lengthen and thicken your lashes before applying mascara to them), - 2 maxi-samples of Juicy Tubes in Coral Rush - 2 maxi-samples of Rénergie Eye Multiple Action (my absolute favorite anti-aging product for the eye area - I cannot recommend this product enough) - 1 maxi-sample (1/3 of the regular size) of Le Crayon Kohl eye pencil in Black Coffee - 1 maxi-sample (1/3 of the regular size) of Le Crayon Kohl eye pencil in Black Ebony - 2 sample tubes of Definicils Precious Cells mascara in Noir - 2 VOCs (Vial-On-Card) parfum samples of their new fragrance, La Vie Est Belle (which IMO smells almost identical to Shalimar by Guerlain) And lastly, - 2 10ml (.33 oz. each) of one of Lancôme's new anti-aging product, Rénergie Éclat Multi-Lift. In addition to the anti-aging property, it comes in several different tints, so it can be used in place of foundation if used with powder. I haven't tried this yet, but once I do, I will report on how well it works and if it's worth getting. ************** What kinds of good/great/awesome deals has everyone been finding this Holiday Season? Please, please share -- seeing as how we're all a bunch of cosmetic junkies , we want to know, no, make that, we NEED to know about as many as possible .

Midwest Living Review
Folks tell you no visit to Iowa City is complete without a burger at Short's. And when you first enter the small restaurant (five booths, three tables and barstools), it does indeed look promising. It's a narrow brick space once occupied by a shoeshine shop. It's dimly lit, stocked with antiques in lighted niches, and stands across the street from Iowa's Old Capitol and the University of Iowa museum complex. Short's menu of Iowa microbrews is impressive, offering beers from almost every name-brand Iowa brewery. The burger we tried, however, was somewhat disappointing. When we ordered The Essex with mushrooms, green peppers, Brie, roasted red pepper mayo, the server didn't ask how we wanted it cooked. It was fried on a diner-style griddle with dozens of other burgers (you can spy on the tiny kitchen on the way to the restroom). The Angus burger had no seasoning that we could taste, and the Brie on top was completely unnoticeable. The fries were too soggy. The lunch tab for burger and iced tea came to $12.19, not counting tip. Even if it puts us in the minority, we left thinking that Short's didn't quite live up to its reputation for burgers.

The wing collar tuxedo shirt is the most classic style of formal shirt. A wing tip shirt has a small standing collar with the points (tips) pressed down so they stick out horizontally (resembling "wings"). You can never go wrong with this timeless style of tuxedo shirt. We carry wing tip shirts in all price ranges. If you are looking for a cheap tuxedo shirt (price, not quality), then view our pleated cotton blend tux shirts starting at only $17.95. The great thing about these shirts is that they do not wrinkle.
The benefit of shopping at FineTuxedos is that we do carry formal wear at all different price points. For those of you that are looking for a high quality shirt, please view our Joseph Abboud Tuxedo Shirts. These wing tip shirts offer superior quality and workmanship, and we feel that they are definitely worth the price. Our Abboud non-pleated pique tuxedo shirt has been one of our hottest sellers this formal season.

Demi Cup Bras
The Demi Bra is cut straight across the body, covering half of the bust and shelving the breasts. Demi literally means "half" in French, and Demi Bras represent this concept well; a Demi Bra is cut lower than a Full Cup, but provides more coverage than a Balconnet. Demi bras have wide set straps and are typically cut at a slight angle to enhance presentation and create an open neckline.

Madrid is served by an extensive network of buses, a modern and efficient Metro, and trains. The quickest way to get around is on the Metro, which reaches most places and operates from 6am to 1:30am, although it is best to avoid rush hours. Otherwise the comprehensive bus network fills in the gaps between 6am and midnight. Buses have designated lanes so they are able to avoid traffic congestion, and night buses operate after midnight. Taxis are plentiful and cheap, although surcharges will increase the fare. Driving in Madrid is best avoided because it is unnecessarily stressful when public transport is so cheap and convenient. The city is very compact and it is best to walk when possible.
GMT +1 (GMT +2 between March and October).
Electrical current is 220 or 225 volts, 50Hz. European-style two-pin plugs are standard.
Spain's official currency is the Euro (EUR), which is divided into 100 cents. Money can be exchanged at bureaux de change and major hotels, but banks give the best rates. All major credit cards are widely accepted at most hotels, restaurants and shops. ATMs are widespread and are generally the cheapest and most convenient method of obtaining money.
The international access code for Spain is +34. Pay phones are either blue or green and accept either coins or phone cards, which are sold at post offices, tobacco shops and newsagents. Mobile phone operators provide thorough GSM 900/1800 coverage throughout the country and the Balearic and Canary Islands. Email and internet access is available at internet cafes in most towns and resorts.

Madrid has a Mediterranean climate, with dry, warm and pleasant weather most of the year: winters are cold, but not as chilly as winters in many other European cities; and summers are hot. In summer, between June and August, average temperatures range between 65°F (18°C) and 88°F (31°C) and the heat at midday can be intense, though evenings are often pleasantly cool. Summer temperatures can rise above 95°F (35°C) during occasional heat waves. Winters, between December and February, bring temperatures dropping to just below freezing, averaging between 36.7°F (2.6°C) and 50°F (10°C). Rain in Madrid is a rarity and no season is marred by heavy rain, but what rain the city does receive falls mostly in the shoulder seasons of spring and autumn. The wettest months are April, May, November and December. The most popular time to visit Madrid is in the summer months between June and August, as this is the peak tourist season in the whole country, but the best time to visit is just before or after summer, in May or October.
RENFE has service to the airport, running to Terminal 4. Trains run daily, linking to the city and stations connected to the main rail network. The airport is served by regular EMT and Intercity buses, as well as the Metro system and local taxis. The airport bus connects to the Plaza de Colon, departing from the Arrivals level of each terminal every 15 minutes, day and night. Madrid Barajas Airport is about a half-hour drive from the centre of Madrid.
Several car hire companies are represented at the airport including Avis, Hertz, National and Europcar.
There are official taxi stands outside each terminal, and visitors are advised to use these rather than unofficial taxis. Journey time to the city centre is around half an hour.
Moving walkways connect three of the airport's four terminals. A free metro service and transfer bus is available, and services four terminals.
Facilities at the airport include banks, currency exchange, ATMs, shops, restaurants and bars, chapels, business centres, a post office and pharmacies. Terminal 4 has a Turkish bath, foot spa and hydro-massage area.
Parking at Madrid Barajas Airport is available outside each terminal. Rates are charged at roughly €0.02 per minute for the first half hour, and increase slightly after that up to a daily limit of €18.
Wifi is available in the dining areas of Terminals 1, 2 and 3, and all of Terminals 4 and 4S.

The table below shows the main donors and recipients of ODA for water, considering the annual average commitments for the period 2000-2004 (in millions of 2004 constant dollars).
Most ODA for water is committed by a small number of mainly bilateral donors. Among the 30 donors listed by the OECD (22 bilateral donors and 8 multilateral, the top four donors provided more than 60% of the ODA for water between 2000 and 2004, and the top eight provided more than 80%. Japan is by far the largest donor, providing approximately 25% of overall ODA allocated to the water sector. It thus has a great influence on the evolution of overall ODA for water. The other main donor countries are Germany, France, and the United-States.
Similarly, most ODA for water goes to a relatively small number of recipient countries. Between 2000 and 2004, 43% of ODA commitments for water were allocated to the top-10 recipient countries. China and India, large emerging countries, are among the three main recipient countries. Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa feature little (except for Peru, Ghana, Tanzania and Mozambique).
However, if we consider per capita ODA, the figures change completely. The geographical distribution of ODA for water focuses on the countries of North Africa and the Middle East, and on those of Sub-Saharan Africa. (We have taken out of the analysis small countries or islands with less than 10 millions inhabitants.
Top 20 countries with more than 10 millions inhabitant receiving most aid per capita:

There is a profound moment in Tom Murphy's play 'Famine" where John Connor, the Irish tenant farmer, pulls up the potato stalk by the root to see if the blight is back.
It is 1846. After a bad blight the year before there is hope that the humble potato, the only staple food of his country, will be back to normal.
Instead he pulls up a rotting plant and the awful truth dawns. He spreads his hand wide in a crucifixion moment. He knows he and all his people in the little village of Glanconnor are doomed.
It was a recreation of a moment when Ireland changed forever and so did America. By the early summer of 1846 the Irish had hung on to the bitter end after a bleak 1845 hoping against hope that the crop would come good.
It was not to be. What lay ahead was 1846 and then Black '47 the worst year of the Famine which would send a million to their graves and a million to the coffin ships.
Ireland and America would never be the same again.
Thanks to Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Connecticut, and its visionary president Dr. John Lahey, New York audiences are currently enjoying the Druid/Murphy three plays directed by legendary Garry Hyrnes at Lincoln Center.
I saw "Famine" on a recent Thursday night and it was an incredible theater experience.
Lahey, a former NY City parade Grand Marshal, is a college president who deeply treasures his own Irish heritage and understands the massive importance of entwined Irish and American history
In September, Quinnipiac will open its new Great Hunger museum in Hamden, making it the first museum in America dedicated to the Irish Famine.
That will be an extraordinary night and a magnificent accomplishment by Lahey, one that will create a permanent structure and monument to the most significant event in Irish history and arguably, one of the most significant in the life of America as well.
Murphy's play, written in 1968, takes the audience through the terrible times, the blight, the British indifference, the evictions, the forced migration and the starvation.
But there was a place called America where the descendants of such men and women and their cousins who followed after would remember those who died so horribly. Dr. Lahey is among those. His ancestral town of Camp in Kerry was ravaged by the Famine.
He has spoken up for generations of Irish who never had a voice and by creating a Great Hunger museum has ensured that future generations will remember that too.
From a great tragedy generations later, comes a wonderful reminder in the Great Hunger museum why we will never forget.

I Just Bought... SF Remix Volume 3
Hope the mods don't mind me doing this, but the old thread was a couple years old and had over 300 posts so I thought we could start a new one. The old thread can be found here.
Anyway, I just found Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick at my local Cancer Research UK for £2. I'd been meaning to buy it for some time, especially ever since watching Blade Runner for the first time a few years ago. Also have enjoyed a number of Dick's other books.

No problem, Mike. Be interested to read what you think about Androids. I remember first time reading it, thinking it would be like the film and was very disappointed as they are very different animals (or is that replicants?)
However if you can read it without thinking of the film it's pretty good. A reread years later was better.
