|Set in the 24th century and decades after the adventures of the original crew of the starship Enterprise, this new series is the long-awaited successor to the original Star Trek (1966). Under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard, the all new Enterprise NCC 1701-D travels out to distant planets to seek out new life and to boldly go where no one has gone before.
This six disc collection includes all 22 episodes from The Complete Second Season of Star Trek: The Next Generation!
"...a must-have for everyone who considers himself even a moderately serious fan of Gene Roddenberry's universe. Erick Harper, DVD Verdict
"...a lasting science fiction classic...the best of all the various Star Trek series... Holly E. Ordway, DVD Talk
"Any fan of science fiction will find episodes here that appeal to their particular tastes. The acting is top-rate, the stories are well-written... NeedCoffee.com
"In the sci-fi television wasteland of the early '90s, Star Trek: The Next Generation was a welcome beacon of quality. Scott Weinberg, Apollo Movie Guide
Editor's NoteNearly two decades after the cancellation of the original STAR TREK television series, creator Gene Roddenberry launched the first of what was to be four phenomenally successful spinoffs with STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION. Set in the 24th century (nearly 100 years after the stewardship of Captain Kirk), the series introduced an all-new cast of intergalactic travellers exploring the farthest reaches out of outer space on a mission to chart new planets and alien civilizations. Ship commander Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) anchored the crew of the Starship Enterprise-D with a sensitive reserve that marked a distinct contrast to his trigger-happy predecessor, whose role was assumed by the Kirk-like second-in-command, William Riker (Jonathan Frakes). Rounding out the cast were the Spock-like android, Data (Brent Spiner); blind officer, Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton); Klingon officer, Worf (Michael Dorn); ship doctor, Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden); her teenage son, Wesley (Wil Wheaton); and psychic psychiatrist, Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis). Considered one of the best STAR TREK spinoffs for its intelligent writing and superb sci-fi special effects, THE NEXT GENERATION lives on in cult fandom with this complete collection of episodes from the series' second season.

Customer Reviews of Star Trek Next Generation Second Season Gift Set
Improving show6/7/2012
This show really started to improve in season 2, although it wasn't quite there yet. A few classics (Q who, Measure of a Man) are mixed in with an awful series finale. The actors seem more comfortable here in their roles, having been given a year to retune their performances.
Season two is great!!7/30/2002
About ten million times better than season one!! There is not a bad episode anywhere in this season (although "Shades of Gray" is a little predictable). "The Child" starts everything off on a high note, and it just gets better from there. Some of the best are "Where Silence Has Lease," "A Matter of Honor," "The Royale," and "Time Squared." This season also contains one of the best TNG eposides ever: "The Measure of a Man." What a treat! This entire season really shows why TNG is the best television series ever made!4 Helpful | 1 Not Helpful

The Mayor's office in the City of Plattsburgh is getting a little help from Students in Plattsburgh State University… Four students were in attendance on Thursday during the City Council Meeting. The Group, which is part of 23 students studying under Steve Peters is the Civic Engagement Group. Plattsburgh Mayor Jim Calnon has been working with the students to give them information they may be able to use. "These students are upper level students and we've spoken a few times about a marketing strategy and discussed the strengths and weaknesses of their proposals." Calnon said, "It's marvelous work experience for them and it gives the city some great expertise and at the same time, a ton of enthusiasm to enhance the communication the City Council has with the city of Plattsburgh."
AUDIO – 041414 – SUNY 466 PR Class Working with Mayor Calnon
The group is made up of Juniors and Seniors at the College.. Their project is part of the 466 advanced Public Relations and Marketing Class at SUNY Plattsburgh. Steve Peters is in charge of the Plattsburgh Recreation Department and teaches the 466 Class at SUNY Plattsburgh.. There are various components of the group, including public safety, municipal relationships, Digital Marketing, Internal Marketing which promotes the region to the people who live here, and civic engagement. "It's Something the city really deserves," Peters says, "The Mayor is interested in seeing what they come up with, and it's important for the residents in the city to know what's going on and to see all of the great things that happen in the city and this relationship is a great way to make that happen."

Deadly Threats You Never Heard of Lurk in Our National Parks
Some deadly diseases you've never heard of lurk in our national parks. It's extremely unlikely that you'll ever be infected, but the odds are not zero. And if you are among of the unfortunate few, may the Good Lord have mercy on you.
If you are visiting or working in a western park and you are messing around in a backcountry cabin or other structure that gets closed up for lengthy periods (all winter, for example), for heavens sake don't stir up the dust and breathe it. And if you soak in a backcountry hot spring while visiting a national park – the hot springs at Yellowstone and Death Valley's Saline Valley leap to mind – think twice before you duck your head under water or allow water to be splashed into your nose. Inhaling a noseful of sealed-cabin dust or a few drops of hot springs water isn't just unpleasant. There's a credible chance it might kill you.
On March 25, 2004, Glacier National Park Deputy Superintendent Jerry O'Neal died after contracting hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS). There is no evidence that he contracted the illness while performing his duties at Glacier, but he did become infected with HPS in that area,quite possibly at his home.
HPS is extremely dangerous. There is no effective treatment for it, and about half of the victims die.
HPS, which was first recognized in the Four Corners area of the southwestern U.S. in 1993, is a type of hemorrhagic fever transmitted to humans primarily via inhalation of airborne dust containing infected rodent droppings. The disease, which begins with flu-like symptoms, can also be transmitted by ingesting contaminated dust, such as the dust that accumulates on the lids of canned soft drinks and foods. It can also be transmitted through contact with the saliva of an infected rodent.
While campers and hikers are at some risk of HPS (the virus lurks in the duff on the forest floor and other places with rodent droppings), the greatest threat is to park workers involved in the seasonal opening and cleaning of park structures in the western states. If the workers performing such duties want to stay healthy, they must use effective respiratory protection (!!). Park workers who poo-poo this precaution and refuse to wear respirators are rolling the dice with the devil.
Hantivirus is not as rare as you might think. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that rodents (rats and mice) carrying hantavirus have been found in at least 20 national parks, and there is good reason to believe that they're present in nearly all of the national parks. The empirical data support the conclusion. Rodents carrying hantivirus have already been reported in every single western state and in many eastern states as well.
Danger lurks in national park waters, too. A very nasty amoeba, the Naegleria fowleri, occurs naturally in bodies of warm fresh water. While it is found in some lakes, it is especially found in warm or hot springs – places where, given acceptable temperatures, visitors might reasonably choose to bide a while and soak. Warm water to ease your aches and pains at the end of a long day's hike. Warm water to soothe your worries away. Warm water to cleanse and rejuvenate you. Aaaaaaaaaah!
The thing is, you don't want that water to get into your nose. If you duck your head, or perhaps get water splashed into you nose, you might inhale a few drops of that water. And then, just possibly, you could be in very deep trouble. The water could have Naegleria fowleri in it.
The Naegleria fowler amoeba, which is sometimes called the "brain-eating amoeba," is very dangerous (to put it mildly). It typically enters the body through the nasal passages, then attacks brain tissue. The results are usually catastrophic. There were 33 cases of Naegleria fowleri infection recorded between 1998 and 2007, and 32 of the victims (including all six infected in 2007) died. That's a mortality rate of 97 percent. You'd have a better chance of surviving a bullet wound in your chest.
Research has established that this nasty amoeba very probably inhabits a lot of warm water sources in our national parks. A study that Montana State University researchers conducted in 2003 found it in nearly two dozen hot springs sampled in Yellowstone and Grand Teton. It is almost certainly present in hundreds and hundreds of pools and lakes that have not yet been tested.
The bottom line is that a park visitor who soaks in a warm spring would be foolish to assume that there are no Naegleria fowleri in the water. That being the case, warm water bathers should avoid ducking their heads in the water or splashing water in their noses.
Postscript: You need to be aware of the risk of plague in western parks as well. Transmitted primarily by the bites of fleas from infected rodents, plague is known to occur in parts of California, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico. The three most common forms of plague are bubonic plague (infects the lymph nodes), pneumonic plague (infects the lungs), and septicemic plague (infects the blood). Don't contract plague if you can help it. Your chances of surviving bubonic plague are about fifty percent. Pneumonic plague is even more dangerous. You'll probably live if it's treated (only 5% mortality), but if it isn't properly diagnosed and treated, your chances of survival are very close to zero.
What a story. I have enjoyed the warm springs in Saline Valley over the course of three days and broke all of the rules of safety as did others with me. Suppose we were lucky. Hope there are signs posted now. Beautiful area and aside from a few people that like to play their stereo full blast, it was very nice. Think signs would be out of place? I know the loud music was.
Geez, Bob, are you trying to take all the fun away from a park visit?
As for plague, we shouldn't forget that it killed an NPS wildlife biologist in Grand Canyon National Park in 2007.
Other threats, though not disease-related, include altitude sickness (aka acute mountain sickness) that can strike if you head above 8,000 feet and are not acclimated; heat stroke or heat exhaustion, which are very common in the Grand Canyon during the summer months; hypothermia, which can occur in many parks if you're not careful, and; various nasty intestinal ailments that are common to Colorado River rafting parties.
All that said (and I'm sure we missed some threats), I wouldn't let any of these keep me out of the parks.
I agree that none of these perils should discourage visits to parks, but they are a good reminder that prudent measures are a good idea - for visitors and employees.
This article also brought to mind a humorous personal experience (although it probably didn't seem so at the time):
Back in the 1980s, I worked in the Big Thicket National Preserve in Texas, and the park staff agreed to participate in a study by the state Health Department to try to determine if ticks in the area were carriers for Rocky Mountain spotted fever. I can testify from personal experience that the thickets of southeast Texas qualify as critical habitat for both ticks and chiggers, so the park staff also provided a pretty good test group for effective repellents against those critters.
For several months, when we went to the "field" we were armed with a set of small glass vials and some official Texas Dept. of Health labels. If we found a tick on our person, we collected it, put it in the vial, secured the lid, and completed a stick-on label with details (was the tick attached to us or merely crawling, date and location, etc.) The bottled ticks were then shipped off to the lab, where they presumably gave their lives for the sake of science.
One afternoon, the Chief Ranger called me into his office near the end of the day, and a rather unusual conversation ensued. After some preliminary small talk, the short version went something like this:
Chief: "So, how are you feeling today?"
Ranger J (who has just returned from a delightful day in the woods and swamps, where the readings for both humidity and heat exceeded "90"): "Okay."
Chief: "Any unusual medical problems lately?"
Ranger J: (Increasingly puzzled): Nope.
Chief: (after a bit more beating around the bush): "Well, I just thought I should let you know three of the last four ticks you sent in came back positive for Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever."
Ah, the joys of rangering!
As a follow-up, my personal experience was that powdered sulphur, applied topically as a dusting powder, was the best anti-tick measure. The military-issue insect repellent, which contained something like 95% DEET as the active ingredient, was also fairly effective, but since it melted plastic camera lens caps and water bottles, super DEET fell out of favor as a classic case of the preventive being worse than the threat.
Fortunately with the new rule changes regarding guns in the park, I'll just blast those little amoebas to peices!
Better bring lots of ammo, Hobblefoot. Naegleria fowler is a single-cell organism and kinda on the small side.
I'm curious - are there other "gotcha's" one should worry about in the northern parks / states? The Isle Royale National Park (Island) in Michigan has had an ongoing wolf / moose - predator/prey study that has been going on for 50 years (as of 2008). There is a good possibility that I will be working in the study this May (the park is only open from May - September), and probably a good chance that I will be the first to open up some cabins, sheds and other enclosures that are closed from October to April. Recommended protocol? There is obviously a rodent population in every single state, in all environments - that goes without saying - yes?
Being a native Texan, your comments on Rocky Mountain Spotted fever and the use of powdered sulfur as a deterrent are not lost. My youth was spent crawling around on the forest / plains floors, hiding in piles of leaves during paint ball matches, crouching behind blinds for hours while hunting and waiting for that one 'shot' while photographing. I figure that from what yall depict, me and all my buddies probably should be dead by now (40+ years.. be nice). In all sincerity, it's timely information at any age - wish we had known back then what we know now. Also - don't forget that ticks also carry Lyme's (sp) disease and a few other rarer ones. You can bet - if you catch sickness from a tick / flea bite, it won't be a pleasant ordeal.
Lastly - while I've never heard of someone getting sick from a chigger bite, there has been many a night spent trying everything (smothering them with nail polish on your skin at the bite/entry area, clawing at them, ripping your skin off, etc...) to get rid of the darn things. They are a bane to all Texans - in all areas.
Bill, I've got a story about the Saline Valley hot springs in the works, and if I can clear some of this backlog I'll finish it and post it in the near future. Meanwhile, I've never heard of anyone being harmed by infectious disease lurking in the water there. Your signage suggestion put a smile on my face. I'd guess that the typical Saline Valley bather has about as much use for a warning sign as he has for a swimsuit.
Tom, I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the disease threats at Isle Royale. I trust that you've already thought of directing your questions to the park superintendent and your research program manager(s). They ought to feel some sense of obligation in this matter. BTW, when I read Nevada Barr's most recent book Winter Study, the novel that has super ranger Anna Pigeon working with the ISRO wolf study program, I noticed that a whole bunch of scientists were listed in the books credits section. It's a good bet that somebody on that list is a goldmine of information you can use.
Your query puts me in mind of an event that happened in July 1963. I was then an undergraduate student assistant (free lodging and tuition) at a six-week geology field camp based at an old CCC camp on a lake WAY back in the Seney Swamp in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. (Serious fans of Ernest Hemingway will recognize this as the the Big Two-Hearted River setting for one of Hemingway's lesser known productions -- the one that has protagonist Nick Adams in need of wilderness retreat and soul-healing.) Anyway, we students and the professor in charge opened the big old CCC-built lodge after it had been sitting unused for goodness knows how long. In addition to the mummified porcupine we found in the chimney, there was an incredible number of very live mice scurrying around. That evening we sat around the big kitchen table, drank Pabst Blue Ribbon (Lloyd Schmaltz was a very live-and-let-live professor) and amused ourselves by setting mousetraps for these rodents -- the very rodents whose droppings we had swept out of the huge lodge earlier that day. Mouse after mouse after mouse would pop into view, head for the nearest cheese-baited trap, and BAM! -- the trap, a newly dead mouse in its lethal embrace, would fly into the air accompanied by cheers that grew louder and louder as the evening progressed and our beer supply diminished. We could have repeated the exercise out in the shed where a similar colony of rodents was ensconced. I remember coughing every morning at dawn when I went out to the shed to start the diesel generator that powered the lodge's electrical system. This was an incredibly dusty environment, and I have no doubt that my deep coughs drew a good deal of powdered rodent crap deep into my lungs. Forty-five plus years down the road, I am left to assume that either the dust was not contaminated by hantivirus or my immune system is better than average.
Naegleria fowleri seems to live in the sediment at the bottom of warm bodies of fresh water. All of the tubs at Saline Valley are concrete or tile, so the vanishingly small chance of being infected there are as close to non-existent as possible. There have only been 121 cases in the U.S. since 1937 from all sources. There are many things more likely to kill someone at Saline Valley than this amoeba.
Quite true, Ron, and that's why I said that the chances of infection are exceedingly remote. But me, I'm a very cautious sort of guy. If I ever get the chance to soak in one of those three tubs I won't be ducking my head under water or splashing water into my nose. Belt, rope, and suspenders.....
Thank you very much for the information relating to the wolf / moose study up in Isle Royale NP. I will be sure to pass this along to who is going (unfortunately, since my first response was posted I've learned there will be surgery (minor) for me this spring).
The Sierra Club itself would be appreciative of any info such as the original post topic, one would think, and am sure another member or 100 have also read our discussion.
Thanks very much, again.

We ended up with eight hens from our 2013 Chick Adventure and 1 rooster. We had decided on raising Jersey Giants, but as chick sorting goes we have 5 Jersey Giants (4 hens, 1 rooster), 3 Australorp hens, and 1 Copper Maran hen. Our hens started laying October/November. We get about 4 eggs a day. We do not feed them commercial feed. We mix our own feed and feed them table scraps. They also have a large run to forage in. Here are a couple updated pictures.

Pursuit of Eating Better
As part of my new year's resolution, I want to eat better, so I can be healthier and have more energy. I find that I struggle a lot of days with my energy level being too low. I find me really struggling to get through the day and complete normal tasks.
So I started researching how to be healthier, how to eat healthier. I like to cook but up to this point it has been meat and potatoes mostly. So I am posting some links on this blog as I find them for myself. I do not want to diet! I want to change my eating habits and lifestyle.

7 hour layover at LaGuardia...
Hi guys...and gals.
Flying to PuertoRico on the 15th his month, layover at LaGuardia NY. for 7 hours. Is it feasible to bus/train it in to the Village or Soho? And eat there and get back to the airport in time?
Or is another breakfast destination closer a better idea.
I haven't been to the Apple since 1989.
. .
Figure an hour's ride each way. Busses run to and from Grand Central and Penn Station and perhaps other points every half hour or so. From there you can take a subway or taxi downtown.
If you want to save a little time and have the money, cab it directly to and from airport.
No matter what, you'll have an ample 3 or 4 hours to bop around Manhattan.
You're both showing your age. The hipsters would stay in Queens. For example you're a short trip from Schripriphai, considered perhaps the best Thai food in NYC, in Woodside, Queens. Little Asia in the Main St./Northern Boulevard area of flushing is about a mile away from the airport. And you can practically walk from the airport to Astoria, for the Little Athens and some authentic Greek food. The NYC food scene has shifted to Brooklyn and Queen; silly to schlep into Manhattan from the airport just to eat.
Take the bus to jackson heights, the koreans are open 24/7.
7 hours is plenty of time to get to the city and back.
But, you are also very close to Astoria and it is a very nice neighborhood to explore now, especially around 30th ave between 31st and Steinway. There's also the park.
Famous for its Greek community but, in my experience it is very, very diverse now. Kinda hipsterized... but not to the Williamsburg extent.
Gentlemen, the guy hasn't been in New York in 25 years, and you want him to waste his visit wandering around Queens??
That's plenty of time. Possibly plan to book a car out of the airport to drive you. Will be pricey, but worth it IMO.
Dont drink too much fluids, NYC is a hard city to find a public restroom. Grand Central Station has not one restroom, you are suppose to pee in the alley.
Take a lot of cash and go directly to Bed Sty. :)
Thanks, but being Chinese, I'll probably just go into Manhattan, as I don't have a clue where Queens is, in relation to Soho.
Are there direct train lines linking LaGuardia to Manhattan? I remember taking the Penn station, and all the construction in the late '80's, and the alternative tunnels that weren't being used except as homeless shelters for those trying to stay warm in Dec of '89.
Gotta keep the eat thing very basic, no fun to get tummy aches and diaria during a vacation to the Caribbean.
Anyway, there aren't any "direct" trains from LGA. I'm not an outer boroughs guy but, You'll probably have to cab/bus it to the NQ and you can take that directly to SoHo (Prince St)
Or make it easy on yourself and cab it all the way there. Probably be maybe 30 bucks?
Thanks again. Maybe a cab ride, but as usual, $$$ is tight at the beginning of a trip.
I only know Chinatown's in SanFrancisco, Oakland, and Vancouver, sorry, and the little "Ctown" in lower Manhattan doesn't qualify.
Since this is supposed to be an adventure, sightseeing Queens isn't a bad idea. I wonder what shuttle bus goes downtown there? We gotta keep it sorta cheap, as I've porportioned only $200 for my entire trip.
Cheap and New York City mix about as well as oil and water.
Well, being the old fart I am, I could sit in a chair or corner and daydream to kill 3 hours alone, and eat the rest....and read.
But I'm travelling with a relative youngster, who's constantly moving and in search of action. She'd be bonkers if she sat at the airport for 7 hours, then sat on a plane for another 7, after sitting on a plane for 7 hours from SFO.
Maybe she should bring her jogging shoes on carryon.
In any case, forget subways/trains. If you don't want to pay for a cab, take that fairly convenient and not terribly expensive bus that runs from Grand Central and Penn Station.
No idea about busses into QUEENS.
LeeD, is your GF paying for the trip?
Other than a cab the fastest way to SoHo is the NQ on 31st street in Astoria or possibly taking the 7 train and transferring to the NQ at Queensboro Plaza, again getting off at Prince St. Trust me, sadly I was actually a B&T'er in Astoria for a few months.
But, if you really wanted to take the bus at grand central, the 7 train will get you there, 2nd to last stop. That being said in this case train is the way to go...

Yes, I would definitely put the running shoes into carry-on. The locals love morning jogs along LaGuardia runways, so you get to experience the local culture firsthand. I would bring swimsuits too – the northmost tips of the venerable LaGuardia runways are just a couple of hundred feet's swim away from the beautiful Rikers Island. Nice jog, nice swim, exploring an exotic island, some bird-watching maybe, free meals potentially… you might enjoy your tour so much you'll never make it to the Caribbean!

You may remember my post about a previous incident at Dublin Airport, also involving Ryanair: Fear of Landing – "Where's that Guy Going?" Runway Incursion at Dublin
That was the case where a Monarch crew took a wrong turn and blundered onto the active runway — right into the path of a Ryanair 737 on its take-off run. The Ryanair Captain initiated a high speed rejected take-off at 124 knots. By the time the Air Traffic Controller realised what was happening and shouted at the Ryanair to stop, the First Officer responded, we're stopped. The Ryanair flight returned to the stand to have its brakes inspected. Meanwhile, the Monarch flight continued on its way, taking off three minutes later. That's probably the first time ever I've felt sorry for a Ryanair flight for being late.
Anyway, Dublin airport has hit the news again, this time for two Ryanair aircraft damaged during taxi.

— Emily Carroll (@EmzCarr) October 7, 2014
The Daily Mail ran the story with a typically staid headline:
Passengers watch in horror as two Ryanair planes collide on Dublin Airport runway
The Evening Standard followed suit:
Passengers watched in terror as two Ryanair planes crashed into each other on the runway at Dublin airport.
Quick point: neither aircraft was actually on a runway. The first aircraft was holding short of the runway and the second aircraft was behind it.
Ryanair, on the other hand, referred to the ground incident as a "scrape". A notice was posted onto their website that afternoon with the following statement:
Two of our aircraft were taxiing slowly to the runway at Dublin Airport this morning. The winglet of one aircraft appears to have scraped the tail of the other. Both aircraft were under the instruction of Dublin Airport Air Traffic Control at the time.
There was no impact on customers on board and Ryanair contacted the IAA and worked with them to return both aircraft to stand. Affected customers disembarked, were provided with refreshment vouchers and boarded two replacement aircraft, which departed to Brussels Charleroi and Edinburgh later this morning.
The notice has since been deleted from the site.
The winglet or sharklet extends above and more recently also below the wing at the wingtip. They increase the performance for jets by reducing drag, which can mean a higher cruise speed or more commonly, better fuel efficiency.
How Things Work: Winglets | Flight Today | Air & Space Magazine
Winglets reduce wingtip vortices, the twin tornados formed by the difference between the pressure on the upper surface of an airplane's wing and that on the lower surface. High pressure on the lower surface creates a natural airflow that makes its way to the wingtip and curls upward around it. When flow around the wingtips streams out behind the airplane, a vortex is formed. These twisters represent an energy loss and are strong enough to flip airplanes that blunder into them.
But obviously the winglet isn't going to survive impact with another aircraft's tail. This photo taken by Niall Carson makes it look a bit more than a scrape, I have to admit.
Irish newspaper accounts of the passengers show that they were somewhat bemused but not actually watching in horror or terror.
Dramatic picture shows wing tip embedded in plane after two Ryanair jets collide – Independent.ie
Andrea Cunningham, from Drogheda, was due to fly to Edinburgh for a job interview this morning and was a passenger on one of the Ryanair aircraft.
Speaking on RTE's Morning Ireland programme, Ms Cunningham said the impact was minimal, but the plane shook.
"We just kind of turned a corner and hit into another plane.
"It wasn't a huge impact to be honest but you could see the plane shook and then it kind of just stopped.
"We were on the plane for about an hour, maybe short of an hour.
"We were just waiting to go back into the airport terminal," she said.
It seems that visibility was poor and one aircraft was passing behind without quite enough space there. The ATC recordings make it clear that the flight crews involved were really not sure what happened in the moment. Note: if you are reading this from the mailing list, you may need to click through to get the audio file.
This photo, which I was unable to find an attribution for, gives good context for how it happened.
According to a poster on the Professional Pilots Rumour Network, this was an accident waiting to happen.
Dublin: 2 x RYR in contact during taxi. Both damaged.
I retired some years ago from 50 years of professional (accident free) flying and I was very familiar with Dublin Airport.
I am quite sure that dozens of us were aware that the south east corner of that airfield, after they built runway 28, was an accident waiting to happen. To say that this little corner, even on a CAVOK day, is busy, is an understatement.
In fact, I have just downloaded an IAA Aerodrome Chart (EIDW AD 2.24-1) which has, at the top left hand corner, an insert diagram entitled (in red) "Runway Incursion Hot Spots". This shows the problem beautifully.
In the morning nowadays, departures are made from runway 28 and 34 simultaneously so that part of the airfield can get quite congested. If you want my opinion (and you probably don't) my guess is that the aircraft holding short of 28 was being super-safe and holding back a bit further than normal. The aircraft heading for 34 tried to taxi past but mis-judged his wing tip clearance by about 10 feet.
Now, as an ex-DC-10 captain, I need to tell the great unwashed on this thread that it is quite impossible from the flight deck to judge where your wing tip is within 30 feet or so (see BA 744 at JNB).
My car beeps loudly when I'm backing up into something else, maybe the wing tips need similar sensors? It would at least make for some amusement.

|Tim Thomas and the Bruins know 'It's better to be on this end'

The Bruins and Flyers are back in Boston for Game 3 tonight at TD Garden (7 p.m.) and there's no extended wait between Games 2 and 3 like there is with the Celtics and Heat. And that's probably a good thing on many levels for the Bruins.
There's little time to think about being up two games in the series, having dominated the Flyers in pretty much every aspect of the game – except the power play, of course. There's little time to answer questions about what it's like being on the flip side of the 2-0 equation just one series after wiping out the deficit and beating the Canadiens in seven games.
These Bruins aren't about to complain about being up two games despite losing to the Flyers in a similar position last year and overcoming the 0-2 hole in the last round.
'Well it's good to be on the other side this round," Game 2 hero David Krejci said. "We can control our own things and bring it back to our building. We are going to use our fans as our seventh player and just go out there and take it game by game. Hopefully we can win the third one and go from there.'
'Like Dave said, it's better to be on this end," added Tim Thomas, who stopped 52 of 54 shots Monday, including all 10 in OT. "We do know from the way that we were able to come back last series though that a 2-0 lead in a series doesn't mean that the series is over. We still have a lot of work in front of us. As long as we take the same approach one game at a time, one period at a time, one shift at a time I think that's the right approach. So that's the way we will approach it going forward.'
2010 met 2011 in the post-game following Game 2 when a reporter asked Bruins coach Claude Julien if he realizes how tenuous a two-game lead can be. Sure, it's a great spot to be in heading home but the Bruins know what the Canadiens did.
'Well, you know, it is a nice position to be in, especially when you win the first two on the road," Julien said. "There is no doubt that it is the perfect scenario for the first two games on the road, but we are not thinking about that. We are thinking about this year. Probably half the players were not even here last year, so we can bring up whatever we want. Our goal here is to focus on what is happening this year. What happened last year is last year, so it hasn't really been on our minds. We have absolutely learned from that. We are using those kinds of things as a learning tool.
'They took a two to nothing lead and we never gave up. I believe teams that make is this far are teams that have a lot of character. We know they are not going to give up, and we know has what happened with this team. They are capable of bouncing back just as they did in the last round, so we have to be ready for them. We need to understand that the second half of tonight's game was not good enough for this hockey club. We hold ourselves responsible for higher standards, and we are going to have to be better.'
|After losing a pair on home ice, Peter Laviolette plays a psychological card on the Bruins
|05.03.11 at 12:14 am ET
PHILADELPHIA — After his team fell into an 0-2 hole with a 3-2 overtime loss to the Bruins Monday night, Flyers head coach Peter Laviolette attempted to play a psychological card on the Bruins. Simply put, Laviolette said all the pressure is on Boston to advance now that that have a stranglehold on the series for the second straight year.
'We have to go into Boston and win one hockey game," Laviolette said. "Going to the well is not an easy thing to do. It's a difficult thing to do and we did it last series and we did it last year against Boston. When you lose your first two games in your home building, I would say there's a real expectation for the Bruins to win the series now. So it relieves us of the pressure, I believe, a little bit to just go in and play a game in Boston. And while it relieves us of the pressure, it certainly mounts onto them to be successful now that they have a 2-0 lead."
The Flyers came back from 3-2 down against the Sabres in the first round while the Bruins overcame losing the first two games to the Canadiens on their home ice to advance. Laviolette went as far as to guarentee that his team would play well enough in Games 3 and 4 in Boston to bring the series back to Philadelphia for a Game 5 this Sunday.
'I really like our guys," Laviolette said. "I think we're going to go into Boston, we're going to play a strong hockey game, we're going to win a game. This team never quits. We get to remove some of that pressure right now and just go play, have some fun and see if we can score some more goals than we did tonight. I truly believe this team still has a lot of fight in it.'
|Adam McQuaid back to Boston with Bruins after head-on scare
|05.02.11 at 11:54 pm ET
PHILADELPHIA — After being taken to a Philadelphia hospital after falling head-first into the boards late in the first period, Bruins defenseman Adam McQuaid will travel back to Boston with the team, Bruins coach Claude Julien said after Boston's 3-2 overtime win.
McQuaid was shaken after tripping over the leg of Mike Richards and falling into the boards. He was tended to on the ice by Bruins medical staff before being helped off by teammates Milan Lucic and Zdeno Chara and taken to a Philadelphia hospital.
"Adam is coming back home with us," Julien said. "He's on his way back. He was sent to the hosital for further evaluation. I don't know the [complete] details but he's coming back with us and that's a good sign in itself. Our D did a great job of stepping up."
The Bruins were forced to play with five defenseman for the rest of the game, including overtime. Dennis Seidenberg played 36 minutes while Chara played 31 minutes and had to leave briefly after a long shift in overtime before returning.
|God Bless America brings down the house
|at 6:59 pm ET
PHILADELPHIA — Lauren Hart delivered one of her most inspired God Bless America performances prior to Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semis between the Flyers and Bruins Monday night at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.
At the end, the cheers from the sellout crowd dressed in orange turned into chants of "USA, USA, USA."
|Paul Holmgren confirms: Chris Pronger is out for Game 2
|at 6:06 pm ET
PHILADELPHIA — Approximately an hour before faceoff for Game 2, Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren confirmed that top defenseman Chris Pronger will be out with an undisclosed injury.
TSN's Bob McKenzie – on his twitter page – initially reported in the afternoon that Pronger would likely miss the game, with Danny Syvret taking his place. But Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren sent a text out to Philadelphia beat writers that the defenseman was "OK," leading to speculation that he would play in Game 2.
But minutes later, numerous reports confirmed the Pronger scratch for Game 2.
Pronger missed the last five minutes of Saturday's Game 1 and was spotted headed up the runway with about two minutes remaining.
The injury is not believed to be related to the broken hand he suffered in the middle of the season, leading to speculation that it is some sort of leg or lower body injury.
PHILADELPHIA — The Bruins were without their top defenseman Zdeno Chara for Game 2 last round and that didn't work out so well. Now they hope, turn about is fair play as the Flyers could be without Chris Pronger tonight for Game 2.
Pronger didn't play the last five minutes of Saturday's game and was seen trotting up the runway with two minutes left as the Bruins finished off the Flyers, 7-3.
Will he be available tonight?
"With regard to injury, everything comes from the general manager Paul Holmgren," head coach Peter Laviolette said.
Adding insult to injury for the Flyers is the likely chance that Jeff Carter will be unavailable as well. Both missed the Flyers' morning skate at Wells Fargo Center.
"I think we've had success when we've had success when those guys have been out of the lineup, just speaking from past instances when Carter and Pronger have been out," Laviolette added.
It'll be Sean O'Donnell and Andrej Meszaros asked to pick up more of the slack if Pronger can't go.
"Well, we've gone through a lot stretches without him in the lineup and guys have stepped up on the D-corps and played well," said Flyers forward Scott Hartnell. "O'Donnell and Meszaros have been great fifth and sixth defensemen. On another team, they may be third, fourth guys so you look around the room, Kimmo [Timmonen] played some great minutes and playing the best hockey of his career so we're excited about it."
"It doesn't matter," added Danny Briere. "We can't just rely on him. Obviously, it's nice when he's in the lineup, he's a big piece of the puzzle. We played a lot of games without him and we were successful. We can't sit back and hope that – if he plays – he's going to change everything. We all have a job to do and that's what we have to focus on."
The Bruins are playing coy and saying they're focused on themselves prior to Game 2.
"Is he hurt? I didn't even know," Bruins center David Krejci said. "I'm just focusing on my game. That's all I can do."
"I don't know. I've never played them without Pronger," added Bruins forward Chris Kelly. "Obviously, he's a great player, and he's a big impact for their team, just like Zdeno Chara is for us. I think both teams are lucky to have those players."
PHILADELPHIA — From the first moment Kate Smith's rendition of "God Bless America" replaced the national anthem at a Flyers' home game on Dec. 11, 1969, the song has sent chills up the spines of everyone in attendance.
Tonight, it will reach a whole new level – and meaning – altogether. And, all of America and the world will be watching. With the news of Osama bin Laden's execution on Sunday night, Americans have been celebrating the news with the pledge of allegiance and singing "God Bless America."
The Flyers still show a video of Smith – who died in 1986 – singing "God Bless America" in lieu of "The Star Spangled Banner" for good luck before important games. The video of her performance is now accompanied by Lauren Hart, daughter of the late Hockey Hall of Fame broadcaster, Gene Hart, the longtime voice of the Flyers.
Bruins coach Claude Julien is more than aware of what the atmosphere will be in the building come 7:30, in the moments before faceoff.
"That's something that went though my mind this morning, no doubt about that," Julien said. "When something major like that happens, I guess all the attention is drawn that way but our guys this morning seemed fine. In the morning skate, I like their focus, I liked everything else.
"There's two teams. If one team's going through it, I'm sure the other one is as well. I think our guys are very professional and capable of separating the things that are important when the time comes. Everybody was obviously very interested in hearing what's happened in the last little while with that but at the same time, it's important to be ready for the game and I think the guys understand that."
The Flyers understand it, too, and may be under greater pressure to balance energy with emotion, especially at the start.
'The fans and the atmosphere should be great for that part of the game,' Flyers forward James van Riemsdyk told WEEI.com's D.J. Bean. 'It's a proud day in our history, you could say now, is the day that this guy was brought to justice. At that point last night, I know hockey was put on the back burner for a second there when you kind of think of all the things that have been affected and all the people close to you that maybe lost someone. It's obviously a good thing that all this came to justice last night.'
Bruins fans old enough to remember recall another special day when Smith performed in person.
Smith was called in to the Spectrum in front of a capacity crowd of 17,007 fans before Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals on May 19, 1974. That's when B's captain Phil Esposito infamously tried to jinx the Flyers' good luck charm by presenting her with a bouquet of roses after her performance. It didn't work. Bernie Parent blanked Espo, Bobby Orr and the B's, 1-0, for the first of two straight Stanley Cups.
Including Saturday's loss to the Bruins, the Flyers are 95-27-4 when trotting out the old standby.
So tonight, just before faceoff, turn up the TV and listen for Flyers public address announcer Lou Nolan to say, "Ladies and gentlemen, at this time, we ask that you please rise and remove your hats and salute to our flags and welcome the number 1 ranked anthemist in the NHL, Lauren Hart, as she sings God Bless America, accompanied by the great Kate Smith."
And good luck hearing the duet from there.

I went into this hoping to notice results. I can say after using it once a day for a week there is nothing. The claim is that after two treatments you can see a difference. That is not the case for me. These are the problems that I found. 1. The directions are not clear. It says to use on the front six teeth on top and bottom. It took me a while to understand that it was six teeth on the top and six teeth on the bottom. 2. You are supposed to use 1 tablespoon of the rinse first but there is nothing to measure it in. I didn't want to use my cup that I use in the bathroom and I really didn't want to have to get a measuring spoon. Something should have been provided (similar to the cup you get with cough medicine perhaps). 3. I could never tell if I had enough stuff on the paintbrush. I would squeeze and when I saw something come out I figured it was there but I didn't know how often I needed to resqueeze the tube for each application. 4. A better warning of getting the application on your gum should be given. I accidentally got some on my inside gum when I oversqueezed the brush and my gum went numb and felt like it was burning. The first couple of applications my teeth tingled like it was damaging my enamel. I have sensitive teeth and this was definitely not something I wanted. Overall I would not recommend this product to anyone.

You've seen the headline, I got it AGAIN in the elevator on the way to work this morning: "CEOs push plan to raise full retirement age to 70"
I keep wondering WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE that are so aggressively advocating this prescription for our nations fiscal health. Are they actuary's, economists, former public servants, fiscal savants? So, I clicked around to find out more about this group of insightful CEO's.
What do they know that can so inform us about the merits of raising the retirement age? Peek below the orange squiggly thingy and meet two of them...
There have been some good diaries on it including ones by Mark Andersen and Joan McCarter here and here which focus on how hard it would be for a lot of us to actually physically work until 70. Here's a closer look at exactly who these people are that are lobbying congress on your behalf...
The two men below chair the Business Roundtable's Health and Retirement Committee and have been busy writing Op-Eds, giving interviews and advocating for the "Modernization" of our pricey "Entitlements".
Aside from their concern about the nation's fiscal health, these two public company CEO's have at least two things in common. They each have made more than $50 Million in three years overseeing their big corporations, AND, neither has to worry about working until age 70.
Gary Loveman
Chairman, President & CEO,
Caesars Entertainment Corporation
Gary Loveman believes so much in a secure retirement that his company doesn't offer a pension to the rank and file. (But Gary who made $18.2MM in 2010 has already secured HIS defined benefit wouldn't you say?)
So, how is that 401k plan at Ceasars? Brightscope gives Ceasars 401k offering a "Poor" rating for generosity and "Below Average" for participation. The average employee 401k account balance is $32,000. (They only match .50 on each employee dollar up to 6% - Where's the LOVE MAN?)
Maybe Gary should sit down with his employees and see why they can't afford to contribute to his company's 401k plan. (Hint: I bet it's LOW PAY). Work on that Gary. Oh, and if not, we look forward to the speedy service from your 70 year old waitresses and black jack dealers in the "modernized" future.
Randall L. Stephenson
Chairman & CEO, AT&T Inc.
Randall's company, ATT, values their employees a bit more (but not as much as they value HIS leadership: $22MM in 2011). Randall's ATT actually has a pension. Unfortunately it is underfuned by $10 Billion! Work on that. (Start with maybe less generous CEO "entitlements" and more appropriate employee benefit payments.)
We should give Randall some extra credit though. He is on the National Executive Board of the Boy Scouts working from within "to actively encourage dialogue and sustainable progress" on their policy banning openly gay Scouts. Based on progress he's made there it's not clear if he's spending too much time on the whole pension funding issue, or the fiscal hawk thing...
Your thoughts on how these guys qualify to prescribe their cure for your retirment ills?
7:26 PM PT: Oh Wow! I posted, did some replies, then left for some exercise in the cold and Boom! The rec list! Thanks!! Long time reader, only my second post. Great comments and thanks for giving me a positive vent for my outrage. I live in a Red neighborhood, Red state. It's nice to have this community.
ANOTHER UPDATE: Great comment by zaka1
The debate needs to reframe to bringing the CEOs into the world of reality. And quite frankly they need to understand that the 99% can't afford them anymore.emphasis mine.
Thanks again.
Wed Jan 23, 2013 at 5:24 AM PT: Just wanted to highlight the great comment by zaka1. Thanks again for the discussion.

This article was previously published under Q308572
On This Page
This article describes how to move the CD Recording temporary files storage to an alternate drive for a single user on a Windows XP-based computer.
Note Generally it is better to free disk space on the Windows drive before you try to move the CD Recording temporary files. If you can free enough disk space, you may not have to follow the steps in this article. For additional information about how to use Disk Cleanup to free hard disk space, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
(https://support.microsoft.com/kb/310312/EN-US/ )Description of the Disk Cleanup Tool in Windows XP
More information
When you copy files to a CD-R or CD-RW disk by using the CD recording support that is built into Windows XP, the files are first copied to a temporary location, and then a disk image file is created. Because of this, you must have available space on your Windows drive that equals two times the size of the files you are copying.
Although you can move the location of the temporary image on the properties of the CD-R/RW drive, this method does not move the temporary files.
For more information about moving the disk image file, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
279157Moving the temporary files location requires unpartitioned disk space, and Windows must be installed on an NTFS partition. If Windows is installed to a FAT or FAT32 partition, you can convert to NTFS.
(https://support.microsoft.com/kb/279157/ )Description of CD-R and CD-RW recording in Windows XP
Warning If you have upgraded from Microsoft Windows 98 or Microsoft Windows Me to Windows XP and convert your drive to NTFS, you will no longer be able to uninstall Windows XP.
For more information about how to convert a drive to NTFS, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
(https://support.microsoft.com/kb/307881/ )How to convert a FAT16 volume or a FAT32 volume to an NTFS file system in Windows XP
How to Move the Temporary Files Location
Note Only the user account that followed the preceding procedure will have the benefit of using the temporary space on the newly-created partition. When other users on the computer send files to be written to a CD-R or CD-RW disk, the temporary files will still be stored on the Windows drive in their user profile path.
Microsoft Platforms Support does not support the installation or use of the TweakUI tool. TweakUI contains a feature to move the temporary files location for CD-ROM burning in Windows XP.

Ein atemberaubender Blick über die Bucht.
Kate und Graham Bennett pflegen mit viel Leidenschaft ein wunderschön eingerichtetes Cottage und sind herzliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Alle spektakulären Ziele im Südwesten sind von da sehr gut zu erreichen. Und als Golfspieler fühlt man sich zwischen den Plätzen von Bantry und Glengarriff gut aufgehoben !
We enjoyed this delightful cottage for two weeks. The view is to die for and the hosts are very special people who made us feel very welcome and instantly at home.
The bed linen and towels were changed every four days. The cupboard had all the necessary bits and bobs such as cooking oil, salt, pepper etc and the welcome pack was great with bread, butter, milk, juice, bacon eggs and sausages.
The beds are very comfy and the cottage is warm and welcoming with underfloor heating, there is a constant supply of hot water.
We took advantage of the two kayaks that were at our disposal a couple of times, it was fantastic to get close to the seals that frequent the rocks near to the shoreline in the bay.
We visited one or two local places such as the Bamboo park, Bantry and Glengarriff. The ancient forest at Glengarriff is amazing as is Gougane Barra and Gleninchaquin Park, both recommended by Kate and within easy driving distance. It's a good place to stay for visiting Mizen head and the Beara Peninsula both of which have splendid views. We highly recommend Casey's hotel in Glangarriff, the food is good and it's not too expensive. I would not hesitate to recommend this cottage to my friends and family, it is beautiful and very, very relaxing.
tout a ete parfait, des gens charmants, tres serviables, maison propre et tres bien située. Je recommande cette location, on n'est pas du tout déçu du voyage.
Le site est magnifique, les paysages a couper le souffle, les hôtes sont adorables, que de bons souvenirs!
Beautiful waterside location at the top of the Bay with magnificent views and stunning scenery on both sides. Bantry town and Glengarriff village both within short drive and offer good variety of entertainment, food and drink. Visit Skibbereen and Schull on route to one of Europe's top sandy beaches at Barleycove. Hill walking, fishing, cycling, golf, (two courses within 5 minutes) kayaking and boat trips all available on site or nearby. The famous Garnish Island gardens are located in nearby Glengarriff harbour. Gougane Barra is a short drive away with beautiful scenery surrounding the lake (source of the River Lee). The small church and old abbey ruins are well worth a visit, with a walk through the forest afterwards before a refreshing drink in the wonderful hotel makes it a must during your stay. You can also kiss the 'stone' at the famous Blarney Castle near Cork city, or arrange a day out to Kenmare and then the beautiful lakes of Killarney in nearby Kerry. You won't be bored!
Golf: Ireland is famous for it's golf courses and there are plenty in the region to explore and play. We have two courses within a five minute drive, one being a nine hole scenic course and one a Christy O'Connor Jnr. designed championship course. There are also further courses within a half hour to an hours drive. We have three sets of clubs (one ladies) for use of our guests at no extra charge.

EAE seems to be the theme for 2014 as the Savage Storm footballers prepare for the trip to Magnolia to take on the Muleriders of Southern Arkansas at 6 p.m. Saturday.
EAE breaks down to Effort, Attitude, Energy.
EAE appears to be the watchword as the season opener nears for head coach Bo Atterberry and the Storm.
Southeastern's first home game is scheduled for Sept. 13 when the Boll Weevils of Arkansas-Monticello visit Paul Laird Field for a 6 p.m. kickoff.
Storm fans not making the trip to Magnolia will be able to listen to the game on KLBC.
THE FOOTBALL HOME opener will also be the first of six scheduled Tailgate Parties slated for Tailgate Alley across from Paul Laird Field.
It will also feature the second-annual Barbecue Cook-Off sponsored by the Durant Area Chamber of Commerce.
The cookers will be going by noon so the judges can start selecting winners at 2 p.m. Entry fee is $50 and winners can claim the traveling trophy along with barbecue aprons.
Don't forget the bragging rights.
To enter or for more information, phone the Durant Chamber at (580) 924-0848 or go online to www.durantchamber.org.
Southeastern is hosting the Boll Weevils in the home opener. How many boll weevils does it take to make a brisket?
The Cook-Off is fun, the Tailgating is fun and also tastes good. Plan now to come out and join the party.
Tailgating is sponsored by the Southeastern Alumni Association.
The Chase Sanford Band will open festivities at 2 p.m. with Charlie Robison front and center at 4 p.m.
All of the activities will take you right up to the 6 p.m. kickoff time. Storm fans can eat, watch and win while having a great time.
CLOSER TO HOME, Southeastern softball fans can check out the 2015 edition of the LadyStorm here Saturday morning.
Coach Ron Faubion's young ladies will host the Lady Trojans of Seminole State at 11 a.m. Due to NCAA Division II rules, the Storm can play only four hours. Action is scheduled 11a.m.-3 p.m.
Five newcomers are fighting for playing time and four of the five are true freshmen. The fifth newcomer is Jessica Seay, a righthanded pitcher from Harrah, Okla., by way of Cowley County Community College in Kansas.
Seay looked good against Connors State last Saturday as the LadyStorm opened the six-event fall schedule at Durant's Multi-Sports Complex.
Breanna Smith is a freshman from Monticello, Ark. Yep, the same Monticello as the Boll Weevils and the Great American Conference.
Smith is trying to replace Lacie Cook, who ran out of eligibility after her trip to the College World Series in Salem, Va.
Kaylen Ramber is scrambling for playing time at catcher or third base.
Ashley Moore is a pitcher who follows sister Courtney Moore, last year's catcher and World Series standout.
The last freshman is Jordyn James, a catcher/first baseman who got her collegiate career off to a nifty start last weekend with a home run blast in her first at-bat.
Everybody is invited to come watch Storm softball, grab a bite to eat and listen to Storm football in the season opener at Southern Arkansas.

Joseline Hernandez's former manager Dawn has accused the Puerto Rican Princess of hating Stevie J's daughter.
Dawn has made a hustle out of being the most professional hanger-on on "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta." She was there when Joseline kicked Stevie to the curb as her manager. The moment things didn't work out with Dawn she linked up with Mimi Faust.
In the fallout from Mimi's sex tape, Dawn's been the one to steer the professional organizer towards money-making opportunities. Dawn has also been Mimi's main sidekick in the ongoing feud with Joseline.
She recently took their beef to VladTV for an interview, and things got messy. Right out of the gate VladTV wanted to know whether there was any truth to the persistent rumors that Joseline has cheated on Stevie.
"Joseline's been a slut. She was sleeping with one of Stevie's friends that was with him producing. That's what she did," said Dawn, who suggested that the pair might actually be swingers. "Stevie f*cking the nail tech and her and the nail tech are cool. So I guess that's what they like."
She added, "I think she just got caught trying to sleep with one of Stevie's friends in the house while Stevie was away."
Dawn also claimed that Joseline wants nothing to do with her step daughter. "Poor Eva comes to the house…Joseline despises Eva just because of Mimi," Dawn said. Supposedly, Joseline doesn't get along with Stevie's family in general. "It's like she just wants to make this thing so personal with Eva. I'm just surprised that Mimi would even allow Eva to go to the house. Even Stevie's father doesn't like Joseline. He knows how she is."
Then came the allegations that she's seen Joseline taking drugs! The "LHHATL" supporting cast member told VladTV that Joseline actually used to look down on people that were addicted to narcotics, and she'd often speak badly about them.
That's why Dawn was shocked when she witnessed Joseline take a noseful. "The craziest thing was her snorting cocaine. She use to always talk about how the people in the club wanted her to do that," Dawn said, alleging that Stevie is the one who got her hooked on drugs. "When I confronted her about it, it was basically her and Stevie. She was like Stevie put her on it and that's what she likes to do."

'Investments made in good faith'; funds will be moved to DBP
popular .
MANILA, Philippines—Everything was done in good faith.
National Museum Chair Ramon del Rosario Jr. and Director Jeremy Barns said this in response to the Commission on Audit (COA) taking issue with the board of trustees' handling of the museum's P370-million endowment.
The COA, in a recent report, pointed out that the money, being public funds, should have been deposited in and managed by a government bank.
Fiscal autonomy
In an interview, Del Rosario and Barns explained that the board made the decision to have the funds managed by private financial institutions, BDO Private Bank and BPI Asset Management, in the belief that the National Museum had sufficient fiscal autonomy to do so.
"The board felt it was free to do this [based] on its reading of the law [creating the National Museum]," Barns said.
"The law stresses the special nature of the museum, its fiscal autonomy and the fact that it's supposed to subscribe to best practices applicable to other institutions," he said.
One such "best practice," he said, was to have the museum's funds invested by capable investment managers like BDO and BPI, the largest and third-largest banks in the country in terms of assets, respectively.
Barns—appointed museum director by former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and reappointed by President Aquino on the recommendation of the current Del Rosario-led board—said the decision had proven beneficial since some P51 million in investment income had been earned for the museum by its private bankers to date.
In fact, two previous resident COA auditors had not barred the practice, he said.
Even former Sen. Edgardo Angara, author of the National Museum law, had no issue with it, Barns said.
However, since the National Museum has little choice but to comply with the present COA's rigid interpretation of the rules, the board has ordered BDO and BPI to terminate its investments and the funds will henceforth be transferred to low-yielding government securities with the Development Bank of the Philippines, Del Rosario said.

There has been a cloud hanging over the Clippers since they advanced to face the Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals.
[caption id="attachment_2272" align="alignright" width="292" caption="Clippers point guard Chris Paul shoots during the first quarter Saturday in the NBA Western Conference semifinals Game 3 at Staples Center. / MICHAEL GOULDING, THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER"][/caption]
Terms like "limited" and "banged up" were tossed around, but finally Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said the thing everyone who saw the Clippers lose, 96-86, on Saturday in Game 3 of the series already knew.
"I don't know what Chris will say, but I don't think he's 100 percent Chris Paul," Popovich said of the Clippers point guard. "I'm looking at him, and I know that kid. I know how he can play, and he's not 100 percent."
For the third game in this series, Paul labored offensively. Saturday, he hit on just 5 of 17 from the floor and got to the free-throw line only twice.
Through three games, Paul's shooting a hair above 30 percent from the field while averaging 9.3 points a game.
Paul's numbers have dipped since injuring his right hip flexor in Game 5 of the first-round series against Memphis. Reports also have Paul dealing with a tight groin and sore knees.
"Chris is battling. We're not in this position without Chris, in terms of being in the playoffs and everything he means to this team and organization," Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said. "He gives you everything he has. I'll go to battle with him every day of the week.
"I know he's giving us everything he has right now."
It hasn't just been the injury, though.
The Spurs have thrown Tony Parker, Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard at Paul on the perimeter, and the Spurs' big men have been pinching in to close up any penetration. But Paul won't make any excuses.
"I'm fine. I'm fine," he said after Saturday's game. "Everything's fine."
And no one believed him.

Druskininkai - Grutas buses
The distance between Druskininkai and Grutas park is about 7 kilometres. It can be easily reached by buses from Druskininkai. The buses don't go to often, so to know it better to call to Grutas park information. It is nice, that buses come just near the gates of Grutas park. Druskininkai - Grutas bus ride at 2007 June costed 1 litas (0,29 euro).
As I know, buses from going from Grutas stop in few places in Druskininkai. I think the best option is to get from bus at Vandens Parkas (Aqua Park) station.
Bus from\to Vilnius
Morning buses from Vilnius to Druskininkai were going at 7.40, 8.40, 9.35, 11.00. We needed more morning buses to be at Druskininkai till midday. It takes about 2 hours to get there and costed 19 litas (5.50 euro) for adults in 2006 June.
Very close to both Belarus and Poland
I drove to Druskininkai by my car from Poland via Budzisko-Kalvarija border crossing point. Druskininkai is located in southern Lithuania, 5 km east of highway A4 Vilnius - Hrodna (Grodno), Belarus, 11 km from border crossing point to Belarus and 52 km from another border crossing to Poland called Ogrodniki - Lazdijai.
Border crossing points:
Lazdijai - Ogrodniki: 52 km,
Budzisko - Kalvarija: 86 km.
(direction Hrodna) - 11 km.

Where and what to fuel up?
Just in case you want to save on petrol/gas... the prices in Poland and Lithuania were the same or almost the same in June 2004. Before Lithuania was less expensive :-(.
There was a petrol station located just before Druskininkai. This small sign on the bottom, on my picture, meant liquid petroleum gas (LPG, propane) for cars which was over twice less expensive than "normal" petrol/gas in Lithuania :-))).
Prices per liter:
95E - 2.75 Lt (0.80 ? or... US$3.69 per gallon; I LOVE THE USA :-)
92E - 2.70 Lt
Diesel - 2.38 Lt
Liquid gas - only 1.23 Lt :-).

Walking or driving around Druskininkai you need a map of the city.

The 5 bus lines was the only public transportation in Druskininkai but they covered the whole area of the city and its suburbs. They went approx. once a hour except buses no 4, on my picture: Laisves aikste (Freedom Square) - "Rytas" School which went approx. every 20 min.

Before I got a map
I didn't have any map of Druskininkai when I entered a city by my car. I didn't have idea how large the city was as well.
Hmm... I simply followed the signs leading to tourist information office (Turizmo Informacija), on my picture. First I passed by "business areas" and than unexpectadly I drove through deep forest where the tourist information office was located and where I got free copy of City Guide "Exploring Druskininkai" (in English, Polish, Lithuanian, Russian and German) with the schematic map of Druskininkai.

Easy parking
I was in Druskininkai on business day in June. The traffic was light and there were many (unbelievable many) places to park a car along its streets and all parking lots were free of charge. I parked my car on this parking lot on my picture - the best place to stop and visit the museum and walk along main lake.
It was located at main city street: M.K. Ciurlionio gatve, driving to Druskininkai from Vilnius or Veisiejai, on the left just when you pass (behind) the building of the musem. The lake was below, behind the trees on my picture.

To stop or to drive?
Look at the green arrow put by traffic lights on my picture. It's common sign in Lithuania. It meant that I was allowed to follow the direction of the arrow (right on my picture) even on red light on. Surely first, I was obliged to stop and give a way for the crosswise traffic which had green light. Is it clear?
Well, in Poland, there are similar arrows as well but they are not painted. Instead they are lighted and one must wait till it is lighted on.

There was very light traffic in Druskininkai when I was there, that was on business day in June 2004. Look at the main street (M.K. Ciurlionio gatve) on my picture.
Watch for numerous pedastrian crossings (xings). Although there were very few pedastrians. Hmm... I wonder why?

Experts to advise youth on employment opportunities abroad
Government to train youth to secure employment abroad
86 private companies willing to recruit youth
NIZAMABAD: The two-day passport mela which was inaugurated at Rajiv Gandhi Auditorium here on Friday evoked good response. The mela is being conducted under the aegis of the Rural Development and Youth Services departments.
A number of unemployed youth, students and general people were seen busy submitting application forms. Staff of the Regional Passport Office, Hyderabad helped them in filling and submission of forms.
Inaugurating the mela, district Collector B. Ramanjaneyulu, said in view of reports that many gullible people were being deceived by middlemen and brokers in obtaining the passports, the mela was planned. Besides, the mela would also create awareness among people who wished to go abroad in search of employment.
Experts would give them lessons on employment opportunities available in the Middle East, procedures to apply for them and other information relating to passports and visas. He said many precautions need to be taken by the unemployed youth wishing to secure jobs and students wishing to pursue higher education in foreign university.
The Government would provide necessary training to enable them to get employment through different agencies and an amount of Rs.5 crore was released for the purpose. The district administration was also trying to pool another Rs.4 crore from other sources. He said 86 private companies were coming forward to recruit unemployed educated youth.
Mayor D. Sanjay said passport would serve as a secure identity proof. .
The Indira Kranthi Patham Project Director P. Chinatataiah and the Youth Welfare Officer K. Madhukar Babu explained the purpose for conducting the mela. Representative from the RPO, Hyderabad Ashok Pawar said this was the first passport mela in the State in the current year.

Calling the robbery at his place a 'political conspiracy', Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Giriraj Singh on Wednesday said the money burgled from his house is not his but belongs to his cousin.
"The money which was burgled from my house is not mine but my cousin's. He is going to clarify it to everyone. All this is a planned political conspiracy against me," said Singh.
Yesterday, four persons were arrested in connection with a burglary in Singh's house in which Rs 1.14 crore cash, 600 US dollars, gold and silver jewellery and six luxury watches were purportedly stolen from there and then recovered.
The four accused including the Nawada MP's bodyguard, domestic servant, apartment security guard and another accomplice entered his flat yesterday when he was away in Delhi.
