While it's pretty much an accepted fact that the fashion world thinks Nicolas Ghesquière, Balenciaga's chef designer, walks on water, today his place in the pantheon was confirmed by fashion critic Suzy Menkes. Menkes just lurrved Ghesquière's high-fashion use of (dare we say totally unwearable?) rubber and latex, and had particular affection for the "hand painted samurai armor" that we doubt you'll see anytime soon in, say, Minneapolis.
The synthetic armor will, however, undoubtedly be all over the pages of Vogue and W next fall, just like those gold leggings fashion editors couldn't get enough of last year. Which is why, when we're next cornered at a fashion event, we'll crib from Suzy and say the show channeled "space-age futurism" with just a "hint of perversity." We, after all, live for perversity!

Software facility planned at Thotlakonda
HYDERABAD: The Cabinet on Tuesday approved the allotment of 50 acres of land for Satyam Computer Services at Visakhapatnam and 315 acres for Apache Investment Holdings near Tada in Nellore district for setting up product-specific special economic zones (SEZ).
Minister for Information Mohd. Ali Shabbir told reporters that the Cabinet also resolved to sell 50 acres at Thotlakonda Hills near Visakhapatnam to Satyam Computers Services at a concessional rate of Rs. 10 lakhs an acre for setting up a Rs. 100-crore software facility providing direct employment to 2,000 persons. The Singapore-based Apache Investments Holdings, an exclusive supplier of footwear to Adidas seeking to establish a manufacturing unit in the state, would be leased out land for 25 years on a nominal payment. The unit would manufacture 20 lakh pairs of shoes a month, employing 20,000 persons in the first phase, of whom 15,000 would be women.
An MoU signed by the Government with the company recently, provided for the completed facility becoming operational in four years but arrangements were under way by the company to go on stream much earlier, Mr. Shabbir said.

Border communities say Washington debate misguided
He lobbied for the first binational Olympic Games in the region and opened a city government office in Tijuana.
The federal government also has started accommodating cross-border life.
In Texas, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials in April re-established a remote crossing along the Rio Grande in Big Bend National Park where people arrive to the U.S. via a small boat and scan passports at a visitor's center.
The unmanned crossing was closed after the Sept. 11 attacks. It was reopened to comply with a decades-old bilateral agreement that formed a binational park by linking Big Bend to Mexican wildlands, said CBP spokesman Bill Brooks.
The isolated Mexican community, Boquillas del Carmen, depended on the boat crossing for tourism and getting supplies in Texas. Its population dropped after the crossing closed. Some are now moving back, Brooks said.
Federal authorities in San Diego County started giving access to the last of three border walls for a few hours on Sundays.
Families unable to leave the U.S. while their immigration status is in flux talked through the barrier with deported loved ones standing on the Mexican side.
On a Sunday in July, a teenage boy with a Dodger's cap and baggy jeans cried as he touched his father's fingertip through minute holes in the fence's metal screen.
The pastors prayed nearby.
Along the same stretch, Daniel Watman planted a garden in 2007 that connects with a garden on the Mexican side. He had to rip out the U.S. section in 2008 to make way for a second steel wall. He replanted the next year but was handcuffed trying to water it before negotiating permission to tend the area.
Today the garden is flourishing but few can visit it because of security restrictions.
"Life at the border is way more difficult than it needs to be," Watman said.

I read about this fragrance and wanted to give it a try (working on the proper pronunciation). It is lovely! I am not a perfume kind of woman, as I prefer to only wear ''pure" essential oils on my skin. I found that this fragrance is the perfect compliment and adds lasting scent by spraying a little on my clothing...very feminine and not overpowering. It definitely has my vote!!!

Thread: Anyone who owns a feroza here?
Anyone who owns a feroza here?
Just want to know if any fellow tsikoteers own a feroza? Any thoughts on the reliability and dependability of this vehicle? My old reliable is a 99 model. We've been through thick and thin. several floods we've crossed and muddy and wet roads negotiated. I used to owned a mitsubishi lancer gli 95 model. But everytime it rained heavily and the streets become flooded, then I have to stay in the office for a while before the flood subsides. It becomes a habit sometimes to spend the night in the office, and it is really a hassle. So when the opportunity came, I decided to change my ride to Feroza. From then on, I never experienced sleeping at the office. So far, I have no headaches with maintenance. I don't have problem with spare parts because Banawe is a rich source, or sometimes within Evangelista in Pasay. Honestly, I never got to experience 4-wheel driving, so I haven't got to chance to test the vehicle's mettle and true grit. But, overall, I am a satisfied owner of this little truck. It never let me down. There, just to share my experience with my old reliable.
Re: Anyone who owns a feroza here?
There's a Feroza owners group on 4x4ph.com
Re: Anyone who owns a feroza here?
My uncle has one of the last units sold before they stopped selling 'em.
A Feroza has joined us in one of our aid missions to Mount Pinatubo. Got bitten by the off-road bug. Naka-lift and winch na yata ngayon.
Monmendoza of 4x4ph has a Feroza converted to diesel.
I've driven one. Personally, a Suzuki Jimny is more civilized but still both are pretty crude machines. I like them for their heavy duty nature. Those accustomed to driving mild mannered cars need not apply.

They take their Skee-ball seriously at this South Williamsburg mecca of cheap beer. A Skee-ball machine greets you in the tiny front room, while the back boasts a proper game room stocked with more Skee-ball! For die hard players, the bar hosts a semi-competitive league known as Brewskeeball that meets on Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays. As for the rest of the regulars, they come for the cozy atmosphere and prices that are uber-friendly: $5 will get you a can of Moo Thunder or Dale's Pale Ale, Genesee Cream Ale is $3, and Stella and Sweet Action are $6. Cans are the name of the game -- the bar carries over 15 canned beers, from Whale's Tale to Pork Slap. One of the best deals is the $4 Genny Dog (a Genesee cream ale and a decent hot dog) or the $6 10th Ball (a cream ale and a shot of well whiskey). Weekday crowds are mostly locals, while the weekends see some spillover from The Lodge next door.
Tuesdays and Thursdays offer free skeeball and a free hot dog or pretzels with a drink.
Picnics with a view, roller-skating nostalgia, and a party for gay headbangers.

She's a star on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but apparently it's not a prerequisite to actually be a housewife, nor live in Beverly Hills!
Fan favorite Brandi Glanville has been divorced from ex-hubby Eddie Cibrian since 2010 and despite often being photographed in Beverly Hills, she doesn't live there and while currently house hunting is looking for a home in the Valley, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
PHOTOS: Top Earning Real Housewives
Interestingly, it was Glanville, 41, who tried to stir drama with fellow Housewives star Lisa Vanderpump by announcing on her podcast show that the British beauty didn't always live in the 90210 but actually lived in … gasp! … the Valley.
"On our show, there are certain people who want to project this perfect persona like there's nothing wrong in the world," Glanville said at the time.
PHOTOS: Real Housewives, Real Scandals: 28 Of The Biggest Scandals To Hit The Bravo Franchise
"Like, Lisa Vanderpump used to live deep in the Valley and was filing for bankruptcy — and she doesn't want to talk about that. That's interesting to me."
Vanderpump adamantly denied both the bankruptcy and living in the Valley, to which Glanville blamed the incorrect info on hearsay from another Housewife, Kyle Richards.
As Radar has exclusively reported, Glanville and her two sons; Mason, 11, and Jake, 7, are currently in between homes after the lease on their last house expired.

And surprise, surprise, she's looking in the Valley.
In fact, the reality TV star was close to signing a lease on a house in Encino, Calif. before it unexpectedly fell through.
"It's really starting to wear on Brandi! She just wants to have somewhere to call her own, even if they're just renting. At least it's stability for her boys," a source previously told Radar.

"She finds a place she likes, but then the landlord or renter realizes who she is and doesn't want to risk the drama that comes along with her shooting the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."
So what do you think about Bravo casting women that are not housewives, and do not even live in the city the title touts?! Sound off in the comments below…

Commerce on dimanche: Should France expand Sunday store hours?
Bonjour! I hope your new year is off to a great start.
As many veteran and new expats alike know, stores and shops in France tend to be closed or have limited hours on Sundays – especially outside of big cities. How many times have you needed groceries after 7pm on Sunday only to have to wait until Monday? This is not the experience in all stores – but it is often the case outside of Paris.
According to The Washington Post, France is currently debating whether or not to increase the number of Sundays shops can be open per year.
It is perhaps a surprising move from the French Socialist Party, but not as surprising knowing that the French presidential cabinet has appointed in recent months more conservative, business-friendly ministers like Macron who are cozying up to capitalism.
What are your thoughts? Feel free to share and post comments!
Bon weekend à tous !
France may finally allow more shops to open on Sunday
By Rick Noack
February 12, 2015
Baker Stéphane Cazenave is said to produce France's best baguettes. However, according to French law, he can only produce those baguettes six days a week.
Cazenave had ignored that rule because demand for his baguettes was so high that he was able to employ 22 people seven days a week. Instead of being applauded, Cazenave now faces a lawsuit. "People see me like a thug just because I asked to work," he told France Television. "Working shouldn't be a crime in France."
It might seem strange to Americans, but French businesses are often closed on Sundays in most parts of the country and are only allowed to open five times a year that day. Despite the French tradition of separating religion and state, labor unions and Catholic lobbies have so far succeeded in defending Sunday as a sacred 'day of rest' for the entire country.
This, however, could change. To many French, the current debate about allowing more businesses to open on Sundays is of a fundamental nature: Should the country become more commercial and capitalistic?
French President François Hollande believes so. He shocked many when he recently announced he would pursue a law known under the name of France's economy minister Emmanuel Macron. The initiative aims to liberalize the country's bureaucratic economy. For Hollande, a lot is at stake: Having so far been unable to decrease unemployment and boost growth, his popularity has sunk dramatically.
The law — pursued by a leftist Socialist Party government — is supposed to end a variety of monopolies and allow more competition, but its most contentious proposal is to allow stores and businesses to open more often. According to the draft, they could soon operate on 12 instead of five Sundays a year. Cities could decide on their own whether they would implement the rule, and there are exceptions in areas, such as in Paris.
One of the 2012 election promises of Hollande had been to keep Sunday a day of rest. Hence, breaking with this promise has been interpreted by some in France as a sign of governmental despair with an uncertain economic impact.
Critics are outraged. "It is a moment of truth speaking to the one question that truly matters: What kind of society do we want to live in?" former French employment minister Martine Aubry asked in an op-ed in Le Monde in December.
"Does the political left have nothing else to offer as a societal model than a Sunday stroll to the mall and the accumulation of consumer goods? Sunday should be a time set aside for oneself and for others," Aubry argued.
Without actually naming it, Aubry implied what she did not want France to become: a country with a 7-days a week consumption culture as it is common in the United States. France is not the only country in which shopping is limited on Sundays: Germany, for instance, has upheld similar regulations.
When France's economy surprisingly started to grow slightly at the end of 2014, it was mainly due to domestic consumption. Allowing consumers to spend money seven days a week instead of only six could boost the country's outlook, some said.
Others, however, are more skeptical. "The bill is a 'catch-all' text that does not address France's serious structural issues," Emmanuel Martin, Director of the Paris-based Institute for Economic Studies-Europe, told The Washington Post. "France's issues are structural: a bloated government administration both at the central and local level which generates inefficient regulations, inefficient spending and of course then, higher growth-killing taxation."
Even though Martin is not convinced of the law, he acknowledged it does sometimes feel like something from another era. "For sure, it feels weird to see shops closed in a major shopping street of Paris — one the most beautiful cities of the world," Martin said.

U.S. Absentee Voting Deadline Oct. 6 + Lyon Consular update
For American citizens living abroad who wish to vote in the November 2014 US Elections, the absentee voting deadline is October 6th. Please find all relevant information here from the State Department.
Also, as of October 1st, 2014, the American Presence Post (APP) in Lyon is no longer accepting applications for U.S. passports and birth registrations, Social Security numbers and other federal benefits, and it will no longer provide notarial services. More information is available here.
CNN profiles benefits of Lyon over Paris
I love Paris and Lyon, having lived in both cities. I know the advantages and disadvantages that come with everyday living there. Paris retains an aura of excitement for some, but Lyon certainly has a lot to offer in terms of quality of life for French and expats, on a smaller scale. Lyon remains relatively unknown, though, compared to its big brother Paris.
Which is why I'm glad to see CNN recently publish a profile of the city and its advantages.
You can read the article here, titled "8 ways Lyon outshines Paris". Be sure to scroll through the images and captions as well as the article itself. I personally think Notre Dame de Paris is more impressive (at least in history) than the one in Lyon, but besides that I agree that there is a lot to discover in Lyon.
What do you think of Lyon?
Seven Habits of Highly Effective Expats
I saw this really interesting post on Expatica France, written by Maria Foley. You should check out her blog I was an Expat Wife. I think #5 and #6 particularly resonate with me. Since my re-entry into the US since September 2012, I realize increasingly that I'm a better person for having lived abroad several years in France. It has prepared me well for many things.
What other habits do you find helpful in adapting to and succeeding at expatriate life?
I was an expat wife: The 7 habits of highly effective expats
Maria Foley takes a look at effective habits that make expats cope with integration into a new life and culture when moving abroad.
On Monday I presented my interpretation of Stephen Covey's seven habits as seen through the lens of expatriation. Today all I'm borrowing from Mr. Covey is that iconic title. Here, then, are seven of the habits cultivated by highly effective expats:
1. They prepare: They take the time to study the new culture before they get on the plane, and get a head start on learning the local language. Either by reading, talking to other expats, or taking cross-cultural training, they develop an understanding of culture shock, learn how to recognise its symptoms and how to manage them. They're then able to form realistic expectations of what lies ahead.
2. They introspect: They examine their own values, strengths and weaknesses. They gauge their tolerance for ambiguity, take stock of their resiliency reserves, and assess their patience levels. The work they did above shows them what's coming; the work they do here shows them how they'll respond to it.
3. They keep an open mind: They accept that things will be different and that constant comparisons to their home culture is counterproductive. They peel back the layers of their preconceived notions and stereotypes until there's nothing left. They resist judgment. They don't automatically blame everything that goes wrong on the country or its people.
4. They connect: They establish a strong in-country social support system of both expat and local friends. They nurture their family relationships. They keep in touch with loved ones back home, just not 24/7. They make a point of surrounding themselves with positive people, limiting exposure to the bitter and the bigoted expats.
5. They bend: They consciously adapt their behaviour to meet local norms. They're flexible, but they know where to draw the line so they don't compromise their values.
6. They take (reasonable) risks: They try new foods, activities, and experiences. They make mistakes and learn from them. They maintain a sense of curiosity and wonder that keeps them engaged in the here and now.
7. They keep a sense of perspective. Effective expats know that life has its ups and downs, no matter where you live. While they're grateful for the chance to swim in a different pool, they know it comes at a cost. And yet they accept the downside as the price they pay for the richness and texture of expatriate life.

France's 2014 census kicks off
The French government's national census for 2014 started January 14th.
The news channel BFMTV has more information here (in French).
I've summed up the basics below.
There is also a (French) FAQ guide on the official Insee census site here.
The census allows the government to determine the population of France's communes (villages, towns, cities), as well as key statistics associated with more than 350 different legislative and regulatory codes related to citizen issues (size of municipal government, budget, how many pharmacies per town…).
About 9 million French households will be concerned this year, as since 2004 the national census has functioned on a rolling basis every year. This means that a household that is part of a sample of the population will on average be surveyed a maximum of once every 5 years. (Before then historically, the census was carried out on a larger scale every 8-9 years nationally).
It is being carried out by 23,000 census agents recruited through different town halls, distributing surveys through the French National Institute for Statistics and Economic Studies (L'Insee). These agents will have ID cards with a French flag.
They will be distributing 2 kinds of papers:
1) une "feuille de logement" – "Residential property sheet" which will collect info on the person's property (house, apartment, condo…).
2) un "bulletin individuel" – "Individual ballot" which each person at the residency will fill out regarding their individual profiles.
Here's the timing:
For villages/smaller towns: This year's census starts today January 14 through February 15 for the 7,135 communes of France with fewer than 10,000 residents.
For larger towns/cities: The census goes from January 14 to February 22 for the 983 towns and cities that have more than 10,000 residents, as well as in the Antilles and French Guiana.
For Réunion: The census goes from January 22 to March 8.
Paper and Web versions
Those taking the census can fill out the papers and give them directly to the census agents, or bring them to their local town hall as well as l'Insee. They can also opt for the web version on the aforementioned site www.le-recensement-et-moi.fr for 412 different communes where that option is available. (In 2015, all communes will be available to access the web version).
Questions with Bupa International about expat issues, moving abroad
I will be enhancing my content this year to provide more insight about expat issues.
Bupa International is known for working with international expatriates, employers and families.
They were recently able to answer some of my questions below that are relevant to expat issues. Please see those questions and answers below (note British spelling at some points).
They also recently interviewed me on expat issues, and that article will be posted later.
In addition, I'd recommend checking out their free guide to moving to France, available on this page.
What issues have you seen develop for expat clients moving abroad for the first time? What kinds of information do expats seek?
Moving abroad for the first time can be both exciting and daunting, and the issues facing expats often depend on individual circumstances. Those who are taking their family with them, for instance, may have the added responsibility of finding suitable schools for their children, and so issues can sometimes relate to the standard of education and any potential language barriers they may face.
A recent study from the Daily Telegraph identified the most common issues people moving abroad requested information about. Unsurprisingly, issues such as tax, domicile and residence featured high on the list, as well as information regarding employment, visas and work permits. International health care and insurance is another important aspect of moving abroad, and one which it is crucial to read up on in order to find the best arrangement for you and your family. Many people also enquire about international money transfers and currency exchange, whilst information on the transfer of UK pensions and overseas pensions is also frequently requested.
How easy is it for expats to get coverage for their families while living abroad?
We understand that modern day life can often bring about quick changes, such as moving abroad due to work commitments. Whilst an individual may have personal health cover, it is crucial to ensure the entire family are protected by a suitable health policy. Because of this, we have made it easy to tailor your health cover during your policy, meaning additional family members can be included as and when required.
Does Bupa prefer to work directly with both international and local employers rather than freelance consultants?
We strive to work with local employers wherever possible, but depending on location it may sometimes be impossible to rely solely on local or international employers. Varying legislations around the world mean that some Partners or Brokers may be required in order to give us the coverage needed. Our focus is always on providing the best possible service.
Expatstudy: Interesting Survey of Expatriation (deadline 2/28/14)
Happy New Year to you all!
I can't think of a better way to start 2014 right than by partaking in a very valuable and helpful survey of expatriation and international careers.
A researcher and her team in Germany are conducting this important study (more information below).
–The full study website
–Direct link to survey (which takes about 10 minutes)
Please submit your answers by February 28.
This will contribute to some great insights in this increasingly globalized world.
The results will be shared later this year.
Thank you!
Expatstudy is a research project by Hanna Sophie Simmons for the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich tackling the question how expatriation influences career success. No existing research has ever sufficiently addressed this relationship and standpoints are very contradictory.
Expatriation and repatriation issues cannot be generalized worldwide, as immense differences in repatriation policies, the recruitment and selection of expatriate personnel, sense of loyalty between the employees and their company, international staffing policies, expatriate contract length, and a country's volume of self-initiated expatriates exist. Thus, with organizations around the world having never implemented a uniform stance on expatriation, more conclusive research on the relationship of international assignments and repatriates' career success is absolutely essential.
We need your support and EVERYONE is welcome!
Whether or not you have ever been on an expat assignment, IT DOESN'T MATTER, you CAN still participate. YOU are the key to helping make this study unique and successful.
Without research, there is no development. Without your participation in this survey, there will be less research. So please dedicate 10 minutes of your time and participate. Your effort will not go unnoticed and will be greatly appreciated.
Bonne année, Happy New Year!
As the year closes and France brings in the new year in the next few minutes, I wanted to wish you all a happy holiday season and extend my best wishes for 2014. As they say, "tous mes vœux !".
I look forward to sharing new content and information with you in the next year. Thank you for your readership.

Either way,
Posted 29 November 2012 - 02:40 PM
I am not a lawyer but I would think you have a case regardless of the reason you were rear ended. You were hit and whomever hit you should be liable.
Either way,
This, also do you have auto insurance, perhaps they will bring the fight?

Sounds like both the police and the EMT believe it was related to some type of diabetic reaction. Is there any evidence to suggest otherwise? Did you request that they test the driver at the time of the accident?
What sort of diagnosis are you looking for? It seems their diagnosis was the "diabetic episode"
I doubt what the witnesses "thought" would carry any weight unless they were somehow qualified to make a judgement without treating the victim. However if there's enough of them there that stated they believed he was drunk, smelled of alcohol or was acting in some sort of way that made it clear he was "on" something illegal you might have a reason to question why no test was administered.
I don't know for sure but I doubt you have any right to demand that a blood test be given.
How exactly were you "wronged by the police"
What do they say can be done if you relocate that can't be done if you stay? That doesn't make sense at all.

If you know the witnesses who spoke to the cops you should talk to them and find out exactly what they told the cops. Also get a copy of any paperwork the EMTs, ambulance and the hospital filed. Without any of that it sounds like there's no solid evidence you can present and it's a case of you thinking he was on something or the cops covering for him but not having anything concrete to back up your claim.
The reason I am questioning the police "actions" is simple. There were at least twelve witnesses all of which offereed statements but none made it into the report. All of the employees of the establishment I was at told me they were all diabbetics, two of which have suffered seizures and been incapacitated said that he was not in a seizure and he was a known substance abuser. When I called the state police I was informed it was mandatory for state police to respond to all car accidents in Maine unless waived off by the local police. The police also stating that they knew him, that his wife was a nurse, and they knew it was a diabetic seizure. All this before the EMT's arrived. But yet the EMT's told the police they could not call it a seizure, but would name it an episode so the3y could transport him. My wife heard this transpire not me. Wronged by the police? Sure if they denied witness statements or a tox screen to protect a friend. If this guy is known for his health issues why is he still allowed to drive? This happened early in the afternoon on a main street with children walking on both sides of the street who could have been injured instead of me, yet the police seemed more concerned in protecting their friend while witnesses were murmering he was intoxicated and not in a seizure. I am not a doctor, nor do I claim to have any medical knowledge on diabetic seizures, I do have first hand knowledge on intoxication by drugs and or alchohol and he did not look in pain whatsoever and smiled a few times. Upon checking his license codes we found out he takes methodone as well as type 1 diabeties. All this and then my lawyer told me he would not investigate this but has a younger lawyer who will tackle it once the insurance settles. Money is not the issue here, haviing him removed from the road and his buddy cops exposed in covering a friend is................................................. Thank you folks! Ray
The part about not being able to do anything unless you relocate seems more than a little strange coming from a lawyer.

For the past 3 years I have written that you have to be careful about everything that ALEC writes - that they intentionally mislead the press and the public.
For years, the ALEC group here are DK has tried to warn readers that ALEC was out to destroy our democratic representative government - of, for and by the people.
The message of warning, has become much more critical and foreboding with the drop of the ALEC 2012 - 990 last night.
For 40 years ALEC has preached an unending litany of "Limited Government"
Until last night I thought I had a pretty good handle on what the ALEC mantra of "Limited Government" meant.
"Limited Government"
I thought I knew what ALEC meant by that
destruction of government - as we know it - by
the destruction of regulatory agencies
stealing tax dollars to give to corporations
destruction of public employee unions
amending the constitution
- I should have been smarter
- I should have known the meaning was much bigger than that!
"Limited Government"
ALEC has been using that phrase for 40 years - evidently in a duplicitous manner.
And last night they proved it.
Last night ALEC dropped their 990 on the web and the TRUE EVILNESS of ALEC was again exposed.
For years the ALEC group here on DK has tried to warned people that the American Legislative Exchange Council was out to destroy our democratic representative government - of, for and by the people.
Last night - ALEC proved it in their 990:
From the 990:
In accordance with the bylaws of ALEC, full membership shall be open to persons dedicated to the preservation of individual liberty, basic American values and institutional productive free enterprise, and limited representative government, who support the purposes of ALEC, and who serve, or formerly served, as members of a state or territorial legislature, the United States Congress or similar bodies outside the United States.
From the ALEC 2012 990 - I did not make this up!
Historically ALEC membership has been open to those persons dedicated to
individual liberty, free enterprise, and limited government,NOW - with the distribution of the ALEC 2012, 990 ALEC membership is
open to persons dedicated to the preservation of individual liberty, basic American values and institutional productive free enterprise, and limited representative government,If you think this means anything close to what we have now folks - be prepared!
ALEC has intentionally changed their focus from "Limited Government" to "Limited Representative Government".
Last year ALEC distributed a report to their members on a Constitutional Convention - written about extensively here on DK by FeltzNook.
Earlier this year, you have this action taken by ALEC member Brockaway - :
according to Georgia state Rep. Buzz Brockaway, the biggest problem with the Senate is that it's democratically elected. Brockaway, a Republican, has introduced a bill in the state legislature to repeal the 17th Amendment,
Repeal of the 17th Amendment - taking away your right to vote for your US Senators - coming to your state soon, via an ALEC legislator.
This is much bigger than a con-con - or the 17th amendment.
These people - ALEC legislators - are the people who pushed Voter ID bills across the US.
We are no longer looking at ALEC manipulated
"Limited Government"
We are now looking at ALEC legislator manipulated
"Limited Representative Government"
We have been warned - by ALEC.
The question is - Will we sit up, pay attention and then act?
ALEC is a private 501c3 organization with over 2,000 members.
Over 2,000 members - in your state and federal government.
ALEC's members who are dedicated to "limited representative government".
And if the American people don't think that an ALEC manipulated
"Limited Representative Government"
is worth fighting against - - - then
I guess - - - -
- ALEC deserves to win.
On Tuesday - #VoteNo2ALEC!UPDATE
It is with the help of the village that all things can become clearer. Afisher in one of the comments below noted: "ALEC has the same terminology on the 990 forms for 2011 and 2010. So maybe not a change." That comment is important – because we can now confirm that this was not a fluke or a slip up or a typo on ALECs part. They have been using this phrase "limited representative government" intentionally over time.
AND the phrase is limited, currently, to their 990's - but used repetitively every year. A search of the web found only two other ALEC documents, available to the public - their 1989 legislative sourcebook and the 1991 annual meeting brochure - that included this phrase.
The phrase "limited representative government" can not be found on the ALEC webpage or any of their other current digital documents searchable on the web.

I apologize for being MIA but after the house burned we didn't have internet for a while (other than the library) and I lost touch when Macy was born 5 weeks early. I missed a lot of the baby's births and that makes me sad.

OREGON CITY, Ore. The suspect in an Oregon City kidnapping was captured and arrested Saturday night, deputies said.
Kelsey McCune, 40, was booked overnight in the Clackamas County Jail after he was found along with a missing 13-year-old Oregon City girl in a wooded area north of a mobile home park Saturday evening, deputies said.
Deputies and the SWAT team resumed their search for the Samantha Dodson around 4:30 p.m. after getting what they called a credible tip from a witness who saw her McCune near South Maple Lane Road and South Country Village Drive, said Sgt. Nate Thompson with the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office.
Authorities originally thought Dodson had run away Tuesday night, but on Friday evening, deputies issued a warrant of McCune s arrest on a kidnapping charge. McCune is a transient who is reportedly a friend of the Dodson family and even spent Thanksgiving with them.
McCune is facinig kidnapping, sexual abuse, and rape charges.
More: Kidnapping warrant issued for man thought to be with Ore. City runaway
Tips poured in and authorities were diligently searching for Dodson as a bitter cold snap set in this week.
Overnight Saturday, temperatures dipped below 20 degrees with Sunday morning temperatures expected to fall as low as 10 degrees, which was particularly concerning because the two were thought to be camping.
More: Saturday's highs in the 20s as bitter cold sets in
Federal authorities joined the search for Dodson Wednesday, and on Thursday morning, SWAT crews were called in to back up more in-depth search efforts in Oregon City, said Sgt. Robert Wurpes with the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office.
Authorities urged news outlets and the public to use the hashtag #FindSamantha on Twitter and Facebook to get the word out on social media.
Dodson's Oregon City family held a press conference Thursday pleading for her to come home.
Sammie, your mom and dad are worried about you. Your brothers and sisters are worried about you. Your friends are worried about you and you can't be out there in that cold, said her sister, Sarah Dodson. Please call us or call 911 and let us know you're safe.

text: Neptune (Feat. Starchild) by Blood Orange published on 2012/10/23 21:13:30 +0000 Seven months ago the band Lemonade shared with the world their song "Neptune". It's a wonderful pop song, with wonderful melodies and connectable / perfect lyrics. As I tend to do with most songs I hear and love. I covered it, as an exercise usually only for myself, but this time I sent it to the band. At the time I loved the lyrics, but right now seven months later... i fully appreciate the lyrics, so in the absence of new Blood Orange materiel... here it is. p.s I asked my friend Starchild to perform a rap at the end of the track.

More spam on Twitter, Facebook
Tuesday - 9/28/2010, 4:56pm EDT
Twitter and Facebook users beware: Spam is on the rise.
Hackers and spammers are looking for security holes in the social networking sites, USA Today reports.
After locating the security holes, hackers are alerting spamming gangs who stand ready to blast high volumes of spam through the new holes for as long as it stays unpatched.
Such spam comes from "clickjackers" who make money by getting users to click to a webpage full of ads or to an advertising-related survey. They get paid up to $1 a click from advertisers and can make hundreds of thousands of dollars a day.
So far both Twitter and Facebook have been able to contain the impact of spam surges due to built in early warning systems.

FOREST PARK — A resident of Forest Park told city leaders this week she has a problem with younger members of the Forest Park Police Department.
Dianne Lunsford attended the city council meeting Monday with her husband Roy. She asked the council to speak to the head of the police department about young officers being "rude" to citizens.
"Please talk to the directors," Lunsford asked the mayor and the city council. "We are citizens of Forest Park and we need to be treated with respect."
Dianne Lunsford told the council she and her husband were in the second graduating class of the Forest Park Citizens Police Academy.
"One of the things they instilled in us was that we were on the same team with the police," she said. "We interacted with each other and we knew each other. They told us that we were their eyes and ears, because they cannot be everywhere."
Lunsford said she believed what she learned in the Citizens Police Academy and found it difficult to accept a rookie policeman's behavior.
"It grieves me to see new police officers," she continued. "We don't feel like they care. You try to talk with them and they are short with you."
Said Roy, "We just wanted them to be reminded that they should treat us with respect and be friendly with us."
No one on the city council responded to Lunsford's comments publicly. However, following the city council meeting the mayor and city manager defended their police department.
"We've got the best police officers," said Forest Park Mayor Corine Deyton.
Forest Park City Manager John Parker said there are always two sides to every story, and the council has to take that into consideration.
"In the course of duty, officers must maintain control of any situation [and] sometimes this appearance is misunderstood by an individual receiving a citation," said Parker. "Therefore an impression is left on a civilian that the officer is rude and possibly uncaring, but often times that is not the case."
Forest Park Police Chief Dwayne Hobbs did not attend the meeting, but said he had some concerns about the complaint being made in an open forum by a Citizens Police Academy graduate.
"This is very unusual for someone to say that about our officers," said the police chief. "We do have about a dozen new officers. Most of those guys would not be in the field by themselves. They are trained in the academy to see the public in a cooperative environment."
Hobbs said the police department has neighborhood watch meetings, a Triad program for elderly residents, and a cadet program for young people who range in ages from 14 to 20. One of the purposes of each of those organizations is to get feedback from residents.
"So we can do better job," Hobbs said. "So I have a lot of eyes and ears out there. We pride ourselves on being community-oriented and we have a number of outreach programs we offer to citizens."
Hobbs said he would prefer complaints about his officers to come to his office, to ensure the problem is investigated in the proper manner.
"So rather than having one of our graduates of the police academy to go and complain about an anonymous officer to the city council, I would have rather they had called to me with specifics so I could have followed up on the complaint," he said.
OscarKnight 2 years, 7 months ago
.....I have met some very polite Police in Forest Park, but, I have also met a few rotten apples on the Police force. Chief Hobbs was very rude, about 30 years ago, before he started to climb up the ladder.
.....I make a habit by asking the Police, in Forest Park, where they live, and most of time I get receive an answer that they don't live in Forest Park.
....Riddle Me with this question :
Where Does Chief Hobbs Live ?
OscarKnight 2 years, 7 months ago
....Lunsford : Quote : "We are citizens of Forest Park and we need to be treated with respect."
.....It's about time that somebody began to speak up. Thank You Very Much; We don't want to see our city turn against our citizens, but it's happening anyway. If I have any complaints, most of time, these complaints falls on deaf ears and is erased from the city court records.

Mistaken Baptism?
I ran across this piece on a Vietnamese bishop who was arrested for "baptizing" people. I suppose it's slightly heartening to know that scoffers are less informed about the Mass than Catholics who have been denied the Eucharist. The bishop … Continue reading

What's the best(fastest) way to do this?
This generates what I believe is the correct answer, but obviously at N = 10e6 it is painfully slow. I think I need to keep the Xi values so I can correctly calculate the standard deviation, but are there any techniques to make this run faster?
def randomInterval(a,b):
r = ((b-a)*float(random.random(1)) + a)
return r
N = 10e6
Sum = 0
x = []
for sample in range(0,int(N)):
n = randomInterval(-5.,5.)
while n == 5.0:
n = randomInterval(-5.,5.) # since X is [-5,5)
Sum += n
x = np.append(x, n)
A = Sum/N
for sample in range(0,int(N)):
summation = (x[sample] - A)**2.0
standard_deviation = np.sqrt((1./N)*summation)

Mr Cunliffe told TV3's Firstline programme this morning that
there was no substance to claims from the National Party that
the policy was too expensive.
"There's no substance whatsoever in those claims, that's just
National electioneering."
He said comments that the policy was indicative of "Labour
big spending" were wrong and the party's alternate budget
showed surpluses.
"I will not be lectured to by National's spin doctors or the
press about Labour big spending, because it's just not true.
We're running surpluses and we're sticking very closely to
the government's own spending tracks, we just have better

Mermaid You Look
Some time back, a dedicated sports nerd (simultaneously the coolest and least-useful variety of nerd) determined that in a typical Major League Baseball game, the ball is actually in play for only two to three minutes. So even in the best of baseball times and the past couple of years for the Florida Marlins must qualify as at least passable theres enough downtime for fans attention to wander. Enter the eye candy known as the Marlins Mermaids, a squad of midriff-baring, short-shorted dancers who enjoy high-kicking on the tops of dugouts and grabbing their hair for calendar shoots. Their open tryouts are going to be held the same day as those of the Marlins other spirit squad, the all-male Marlins Manatees, a clowning band of mostly middle-aged, mostly overweight, in some cases frightfully obese shakers of moneymakers. If you want to join in either squad or simply watch the pratfalls as Manatee wannabes try to talk aspirant cheerleaders out of their digits, hit the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino (5711 Seminole Way) on Sunday morning: Manatees must register by 8 a.m. for a 9 a.m. tryout; Mermaids should bring headshots and dance attire and arrive by 11 a.m. for a noon tryout. Mere spectators are welcome. Visit marlins.com, or call Luis Dones at 305-626-7227.

Dual Fuel. DeWalt's DC020 is a portable 38-watt fluorescent work light that runs on the company's 12- to 18-volt cordless tool batteries or line voltage. Although bright, it's much cooler and more energy-efficient than a halogen. We found that it will run for over an hour on either 18-volt nicad or lithium-ion battery packs — in certain conditions. When temperatures are near freezing, you'll have to use the cord. The light is sold without a battery for $100. DeWalt, 800/433-9258. www.dewalt.com

Cool LEDs and removable dust filter on front fan.
Industrial look doesnt really work for us; no side window; flimsy top-panel SATA dock.
From the outside, the Enermax Hoplite doesn't really stand out. Its generic industrial look has been done before, and better—it owes a lot to Cooler Master's HAF series, by way of example. What it lacks in the looks department, however, it makes up for with ease of use. Couple that with a $100 price tag and a pretty spiffy LED-enabled front fan, and you've got yourself a deal. Kind of.
The Hoplite is a mid-tower chassis that is painted black throughout. The side panels are made of sleek, lightweight steel, while the front and top panel (now with a built-in SATA dock!) are made of matte plastic, lined with steel mesh underlain by screen. The front panel offers two USB 2.0 ports, an eSATA port, and the standard audio jacks.
The Hoplite takes most of its cues from Cooler Master's HAF series but adds a cool front LED, too.
The case itself is actually quite small, measuring 8.25 inches wide by 19.3 inches high by 18.5 inches deep, narrowly beating the already small Thermaltake V9 BlacX Edition we reviewed in March. The Hoplite can accommodate both ATX and microATX motherboards. Its hard drive cage has room for four toolless 3.5-inch bays and two 2.5-inch bays, and the front of the case conceals two hotswap SATA trays. Despite the Hoplite's relatively small size, it can fit a full 12.2-inch GPU, though this should definitely be one of the final steps in your build, as trying to work around the massive GPU in such a small form factor can be cumbersome.
The hard drive cage has room for four toolless 3.5-inch bays and two 2.5-inch bays.
The case comes stock with just two fans—a variable-speed 12cm front fan with blue and red LED lights and a slide-out dust filter, and a 12cm rear fan. The LED lights are customizable via a switch on the front panel—you can set them to blink on and off, blink in a circular pattern, or stay on. The top panel can accommodate two 14cm or 12cm fans, and the side panel can take either two 12cm fans or one 20cm fan.
The motherboard tray features five rubber-grommeted cable-routing cutouts that allow for easy cable management. The mobo tray also has one of the largest CPU backplane cutouts we've ever seen in a case, plus a cutout near the PSU to route power cables behind the case. Our test build was easy, fast, and organized. Given the Hoplite's impressive cable-routing options, it's kind of a shame that the left side panel doesn't have a window so you can ogle your highly organized innards. You'll have to make do with mesh.
The five rubber-grommeted routing cutouts in the mobo tray make organization a snap.
So is the Hoplite worth the price tag? It depends. For the price, it's far less feature-laden than cases like the Thermaltake V9 BlacX Edition, which sports an additional top SATA dock (of better build quality, no less), a front-panel USB 3.0 port, and a 23cm top exhaust fan—but no cable-routing cutouts in the motherboard tray. Where the Hoplite really shines is organization—the five cutouts make constructing a polished- and professional-looking computer easy and fast. Whether or not the Hoplite is a good deal for you will depend on whether you value those cable-management features more than the fancier hardware other $100 cases provide.
Top panel SATA docks are convenient and all, but this one is pretty flimsy.
