Local oil and gas workers rally for jobs, deep sea oil drilling
Port Arthur, Houston both hold rallies
CORPUS CHRISTI - The message to President Barack Obama from local oil and gas industry workers was clear Wednesday -- end the moratorium on deepwater oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico so it puts more Americans to work.
An estimated 130 people gathered at the American Bank Center to rally against the moratorium during the Rally for Jobs event, hosted by the American Petroleum Institute. Simultaneous rallies, which drew an estimated 5,500 combined total, also were held in Port Arthur and Houston.
The moratorium, in effect following the BP oil spill in the gulf, has prevented deepwater drilling and has affected about 46,000 jobs, according to the institute. Speakers at Wednesday's event included Port of Corpus Christi Commissioner Judy Hawley; Art Granado with Granado Insurance; Charles Barber, chairman of the local chapter of the institute; and Myron Rodrigue, executive vice president of Kiewit Offshore Services.
Kiewit, which manufactures offshore platforms, has three projects pending the lifting of the moratorium, Rodrigue said.
"If the moratorium continues, these projects go away," he said.
John Hofmeister, former president and CEO of Shell who spoke via video feed from Houston, said the airline industry doesn't cease because a pilot makes an error and crashed into the side of a mountain and the oil and gas industry shouldn't be hampered by one incident from one company
"If we don't drill in 2010, we won't be able to drill in 2012," Hofmeister said. "If we don't produce our own (oil), we must import it.."
Other rallies are scheduled later this month in Ohio, Illinois, New Mexico and Colorado. For more information, visit www.rallyforjobs.org.

Women and Children First
Our vision is an equitable world where all woman and children have good health. We work in some of the world's poorest communities in developing countries to stop mothers and babies from dying during pregnancy, childbirth or in the first few days and months of life. Our work reduces the rate of maternal deaths by up to 49% and newborn deaths by up to one third.
We do this by running self-help community women's groups where women are given the information and knowledge they need to keep themselves and their babies safe. We encourage them to get skilled care from properly qualified health professionals and improve the quality of care in health services and improve the quality of care in health services.
You can watch women in Bangladesh talking about what our work means to them - one mother and her son were saved by a loan worth just £15.

Oh niche, where art thou?
Posted: 21 May 2010
But new cars aside, if you choose to include, say, the Volkswagen Tiguan as a point of comparison, as BMW itself does in its comparative data, then you ought to include the Land Rover Freelander too, which was fairly premium last time we looked. (Not that a Tiguan is much like slumming it either...)
Whatever, there is no shortage of competition when it comes to small SUVs. It was always a sticking point for BMW that it made the X3 quite so expensive, and now that it's managed to redress that, Beemer's marketeers might well take some market share from the likes of Land Rover and VW, particularly from the groundswell of people unwilling to be seen driving something that is readily labelled as a '4x4'.

We tried them all - chicken and waffles tastes like syrup - strange flavor for a chip. The garlic bread one is good but very strong so you have to like garlic and parm cheese because that's what it tastes like. The Sirachi (or whatever it is) was very spicy. I only had one of each to taste them and wasn't overly excited about any - but the chicken and waffles was my families least favorite!
I know a lot of you are preggo here, if you're planning on breast feeding, they had nursing bras on clearance for 50% off, at 8.48. I want to wait for 70% but they only had a couple of each in my size, so I caved and bought 4. Those are extreme essentials for me and I would rather pay 50% off than 16.99, which I would have done if I hadn't found this. I had a $2 off coupon from a baby mailer too for Gillian o malley nursing bras.
Also found some belly bands for belly shrinking after pregnancy for 70%, 14.98 down from 50ish. I forget the brand. I already bought a medela one from babies r us or I would have got this one.
Diapers were 26.xx down from 37.99, 30% off. It's not an amazing price, but heck, anything is better than retail.
couponing is the real life application of math your teacher warned you about

Thanks for all the responses on the Lay's flavors! Will make sure NOT to try the chicken waffle one (was curious, but not anymore). Def still want to try the sriracha one though...
Went to one T today for a quick run in, and found some V-day stuff still! Bubbles and Play-doh. I warned the cashier that it would ring up INF, but asked whether I could still get them at 90%. He said that he wasn't allowed to because salvage means that they *have* to send it back. Then I asked whether he wouldn't mind asking his manager, and then he said they just couldn't do it because they dont know what it sold at. I said, oh, can't you just look for the history on your register? And he said no, I can only do that with a handheld, and we have none up here.
umm.. ok. Well, he gave me the bubbles at 90% since the price was on the box, but didn't want to do the playdoh, since there was no price on it.
I'm happy enough with the bubbles, but something about his logic didn't make too much sense to me. (just not a long enough T shopper to know the ins and outs though).
I also saw a vday pack of M&Ms, but I have enough at home.
Recap for Wednesday, February 27
Now that the major holiday clearance cycles are done it seems easier to do recaps. Have a great day everyone!
I wanted to mention that it seems that once they salvage it the price zeroes out in their system. Last week I found some of the Skittles boxes with individual packets inside and the manager checked in her PDA for a previous price in order to sell it to me but it came out as $0. I was lucky though because she just made up a price. And this was on the same day they pulled out all the Valentine's Day items.

Adam Sandler got attacked by a cheetah. Unfortunately, he lived to tell about it. That's it. Oh, you want details? Fine.
He was on Letterman the other night promoting his new suppurating filmic fistula Grown Ups 2 and relayed an anecdote about getting attacked by a cheetah while on a safari. Why would the world's fastest land mammal want to attack the former SNL star? Shit, where do we begin?
Well, in addition to being incredibly fast, cheetahs are pretty savvy creatures. Much like humans, they were probably on board with his early work and the delightfully off-kilter characters he populated them with. But, sometime around The Wedding Singer, his product started to suffer drastically and it's possible that it was then that the cheetahs probably started to notice.
While his choice of material started to flag, he also began further accelerating his decline by producing unforgivable Rob Schneider vehicles. Fact: friends don't let friends make more than one Deuce Bigelow movie. The cheetahs, while briefly buoyed by his serious turn in Punch Drunk Love, likely completely gave up around 50 First Dates.
Cheetahs don't suffer audience insulting and downright retarded boilerplate rom-coms and were definitely out for blood before the ink was even dry on his Just Go With It contract. Then, all it took was for him to take one step on the savanna. He's lucky he made it out with that smug grin intact.
It's just like that old cheetah saying goes, 'It ain't easy being cheesy.' (Boom. Nailed it.)

Stephen McManus hopes to win back a place in the Scotland squad as he gets set to ponder his future.
The 30-year old former Celtic centre-back is set to depart Middlesbrough in the summer and says he would love to find a club that will help him force his way into Scotland boss Gordon Strachanﻗs calculations.
ﻗRight now, I will go wherever I think there will be the best opportunity for my career,ﻗ he said.
ﻗI want to play every week. I want the feeling of actually meaning something to a team again.
ﻗAnd I still have ambitions to represent my country. I have spoken to Gordon Strachan. He will be the same with every other Scottish player who could be available for international football. Iﻗm sure heﻗs spoken to James McFadden and Kris Boyd and so on. These guys are still very good players.
ﻗIf you are playing well for your club, and can still handle international level, I have no doubt you will get that opportunity to play again.
ﻗItﻗs not as if you are 35 or 36 and questioning whether you can still play with Scotland. Iﻗm far from over the hill.
ﻗOne thing about Gordon is that he will be 100 per cent fair with everyone. He is the right person to take the country forward.ﻗ

Cold temps cause more premature deaths than heat, international study shows
MUSKOKA - Each year, the third week of October is designated Small Business Week across Canada.
The Business Development Bank of Canada launched this initiative in 1979 to celebrate small business in Canada and the contribution it makes to the Canadian economy. Today Small Business Week is still led by BDC, but now involves local chambers of commerce and other business support organizations throughout the country.
This year it takes place from Oct. 14 to 20 under the theme "Aim High! Invest in Your Future."
The business community in Muskoka is well served by a number of organizations. There are a total of six chambers of commerce which provide important networking and marketing opportunities for their members and make important contributions to community events on behalf of their members.
Muskoka Futures is a Community Futures Development Corporation, which provides financing opportunities for business start-up or expansion, grants for community development projects, and training and mentorship programs such as Innovation Muskoka.
The Muskoka Small Business Centre provides free advice and assistance for business start up and expansion as well as seminars and workshops on a wide variety of business topics designed to help the small business owner manage more effectively on limited resources. The centre also encourages young people to consider entrepreneurship as a career through programs such as the Muskoka Bizplan Challenge, the Ontario government's Summer Company program, and a new business incubator program for youth called Youth INCubator.
The YWCA offers important business and lifeskills training to women who are going through a transition in their lives and considering entrepreneurship as an option. They also support women currently in their own business through a new program called Enterprising Women.
As well, for unemployed people there is the Self Employment Assistance program, which helps employment insurance eligible individuals in their efforts to start their own business.
Muskoka's financial institutions are also a source of support for small business, whether through direct lending to business and providing business advice in the process, or by sponsoring programs and events offered by some of the above mentioned organizations.
While we're on the subject of money let's not forget the importance of the bookkeeping and accounting community in keeping track of it.
Muskoka Community Network is another organization that plays an important role for small business in Muskoka. Their mandate is to improve access to high speed internet across the district, and to provide training and support for businesses to take advantage of the internet and the opportunities it has created for small business.
Running a business is a complex process and with all the support available it becomes apparent that one of the most important things to know is when you need help and where to go to get it.
Small business owners tend to be a very independent lot, but the successful ones are those that know their limits, and can ask for help when they need it.
Whether it's finding a supplier for a hard to get part, getting help with bookkeeping and taxes, some free marketing advice or getting your government registrations in order, there are people who can help.
Small Business Week is a great opportunity to highlight the importance of small business in Canada, especially in a rural economy like Muskoka, and of the organizations that exist to help small business succeed.
For more information please contact the Muskoka Small Business Centre at 705- 646-9021 or visit www.muskokasmallbusiness.ca.

US professor: Pro-gay Israeli stance "conceals Palestinian human rights violations" 89
11:41 AM — "Pinkwashing", according to the professor, has emerged as "a deliberate strategy to conceal the continuing violations of Palestinians' human rights behind an image of modernity." The idea was described as "ludicrous and offensive".

That is the slogan of the BCS, but it's probably more true in basketball, at least for teams that want to be in the postseason or are playing for seed.
Saturday, we had Tennessee and Pittsburgh. Both of those teams are in the top 10 and barring injury, don't figure to have to worry about missing the tournament. However, they could be in a battle for a top seed. It's not too hard to imagine the committee sitting there in March debating these two as the fourth #1 seed. Tennessee's 83-76 win over the Panthers could be the deciding factor.
For teams like Gonzaga and Butler, these early games are where they make their case for selection and seeding. They just don't get enough quality games in conference play to put all their eggs in that basket. Unfortunately for these two, not much is going well.
Gonzaga lost at Notre Dame yesterday to fall to 4-5. Four of those five losses are to likely tournament teams, and the fifth - Washington State - isn't terrible, but the Zags so far are proving beyond a doubt that they cannot beat tournament quality opposition. They do have more chances though, with Baylor, Xavier, Oklahoma St and Memphis still on the schedule, and all of those but Baylor at home.
Butler is in even more trouble. Like Gonzaga, the Bulldogs are without a quality win, and have already lost to Louisville, Duke and Xavier, as well as home loss to Evansville. Unlike the Zags, Butler doesn't have many chances left. They are in a tournament with Florida State and Baylor, but that's it.
The committee is watching as closely now as they will in February, so teams need to be juast careful not to give their tournament chances away now as they do then.

I don't think that in basketball every single game is more important than in football. Boise St. lost one game to a Top 25 team and thus will not be participating in the BCS, but in basketball a team could lose to some no name and still garner a comfortable seed in the postseason. While I do recognize that in the case of comparing teams, singular games do have much more of an impact in deciding seeds, I still think in football every game means more.

Honestly, it really is WAY too early to project the field. Still, you had an omission of Texas A&M who has now beaten Washington and Temple, and is 3 point loss away from an unbeaten record. I find it amazing that a team like Virginia is included thanks to a fluke win over Monnnesota in which they shot lights out from 3 point range, yet they get blown out by both Stanford and Washington. I guess it gives people something to talk about, but the projections right now are ridiculous.

It's a tradition Jimmie Brigman has observed for more than two decades — each Memorial Day, he totes thousands of American flags to Richmond County Memorial Park and places one beside each veteran's grave.
The Disabled American Veterans leader said Monday was his last day planning and organizing the yearly observance. The DAV will continue the custom with help from Brigman's congregation, Calvary Baptist Church of Hamlet.
"I've been doing this for 25 years," Brigman said. "I've been getting old, and I like doing this, but I've been doing this for years. "If God's with me and I'm still here and I ain't gone, I'll probably help some, too."
Richmond County residents paused Monday to reflect on American troops' sacrifice. Residents and town leaders gathered for a Memorial Day wreath-laying ceremony in Dobbins Heights. Rockingham's Memorial Day observance was held Saturday.
More than two-dozen volunteers helped Brigman place flags at veterans' headstones Monday morning. Sarah Everett, whose family attends church with Brigman, said her 11-year old daughter, Kelsey Forester, asked if she could help.
"Oftentimes, people don't remember the price our veterans paid for the freedom we have," Everett said. "We take it for granted. Freedom isn't exactly free."
Brigman said he's grateful for the generous donations that allowed him to purchase more than 4,000 flags for the annual tribute. He said contributions from county residents enabled him to buy the flags without tapping into the DAV's budget.
"People in this county paid for every one of them," he said. "They paid for the whole thing."
Robert Oates of Faison drove more than two hours to Rockingham to lend a helping hand at the cemetery. A Duke Energy employee, Oates met Brigman several years ago while working in Richmond County.
"It ain't every day you can meet a two-war veteran wounded in both wars — World War II and Korea," Oates said of Brigman, whom he admires.
Brigman was a special forces soldier in the Army's 82nd Airborne Division. He joined the military in 1945 and retired in 1968 as a master sergeant.
"I'll be 86 on Oct. 4 — I'm just a kid," Brigman said with a laugh. "I'm getting old, but I'll tell you one thing: I've been blessed."
In Dobbins Heights, more than a dozen people gathered on the lawn outside Town Hall for a wreath-laying ceremony at 10 a.m. Guest speaker Edward Lewis Tender, an Army veteran.
Tender spoke passionately about backlogs at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs that have kept thousands of military veterans from receiving medical care. He said the nation should pay tribute to troops who died in combat by taking care of the servicemembers who are still living.
"Vets have died waiting for help from the VA," Tender said. "Let's do something about it. In honor of our veterans who are still here on Earth who need help, let's help them."

Harare - India were shut out of the Wednesday's Tri-nations final in Harare on Saturday when Dinesh Chandimal led Sri Lanka to victory with just 10 balls to spare.
India needed a win to stay in the tournament, which would have given them a slender chance to play in the final on Wednesday.
That would have depended on Zimbabwe then beating Sri Lanka in the last round robin match on Monday. This game will now have no significance for the tournament, but will be a guide to form.
India's score of 268/9 was not quite enough. Sri Lanka hit 270 with 10 balls to spare and six wickets in hand.
India now have six days to wait to play two Twenty20 matches against Zimbabwe next weekend, which have been added on to the Tri-nations tournament. With this latest defeat they have dropped to third place behind Australia and South Africa in the ICC ODI rankings.
Chandimal, named man of the match, punished the Indian bowlers with 111 in 118 balls. It was his maiden century in internationals and he said afterwards: "I just played my normal game, which is an aggressive one."
He was partnered for the third wicket of 114 by Chamara Kapudegera in a supporting but important role, scoring 42.
Every one of Sri Lanka's batsmen contributed more than 21.
Tillekeratne Dilshan, the Sri Lanka captain, said he was pleased and relieved not to leave it late getting to the final. "Our plan was to keep the pressure on India all the way. Our fielding was excellent and that was a key to our success."
India skipper Suresh Raina thought losing the toss was important to the result.
"The wicket just got better and better for batting during the day," he said.
"We now have a week off and we'll use that to improve all aspects of our game. There is much work to do."
India brought in three young players into the side - Nuwan Ojha, R. Ashwin and Pankaj Singh. Their innings got off to a bad start when Ojha was out for one.
It fell to Dinesh Karthik (68) and Yusuf Pathan (44) in an 84 partnership for the third wicket to set up India for a potentially good score and in a bid for a 280 runs target, which they nearly reached.
It was Karthik's eighth half century and it got him to his first 1 000 runs in ODI cricket, the fastest Indian to do so.
One very unusual incident was a no-ball bowled Thusara Mirando, which resulted in a run-out of Ravendra Jadeja.
India's young replacement team for eight senior players not sent here were a disappointment and there will be a lot of debate in India about the value or otherwise of taking this decision.

It's been ages since I last wrote here and it wasn't intentional. I hadn't planned a hiatus - else I would have announced it - and I had most faithfully intended to update the blog every now and again.
other day a friend - very likely my most faithful reader - asked me
whether I had given any thought as to what I wanted to do with my blog.
She probably didn't mean it that way (our conversation was interrupted
at that point and we never came back around to the topic) but in my head
this is how I heard it: "It's obvious that you're no longer writing
blog posts. Isn't it time you let the blog go?"
Well, I haven't given it any thought - at least not since the last time I did consider it.
I wanted to blog, but life happened.
You could say that the very beginning of 2014 was an unfortunately prophetic sneak preview into the year ahead. On January 3rd
Gramps passed away. Then later in spring my uncle died. Another few
months later we had to let our beloved cat go. By then I was pretty much
done with 2014.
That's when other things started happening.
a few months it seemed as if bad news were awaiting me around every
corner: emergency visits to the hospital, life-threatening illnesses,
existential angsts. Most of these things affected me deeply but they
were, ultimately, not my stories to tell. And I found that it was beyond
me to jabber on about mundane and random stuff here, while my soul felt
inundated with heartache and my mind was awash in worry.
And then there was this whole other thing going on.
in March, after an exceedingly mild winter (good for morale thanks to
abundant sunshine, but bad for migraines due to changeable weather), I
decided that something had to be done. I got referred to a neurologist
and we spoke about my medical history - all of it, mind you. In the end I
got a prescription for a drug. The idea was for me to take this
medication every day during six months. It should reduce the number of
migraines significantly. It did. It should have a lasting effect even
after discontinuing it. It did.
It also made me
feel dead tired all the time. At some point I actually started sleeping
14 hours every day and it still didn't seem enough. After a while I
started noticing - in those rare waking moments - that my world had
developed a decidedly grey tinge. I let it slide. I was tired and sleepy
all the time and I was getting so little done it would have made anyone
feel depressed. It took another few weeks before it hit me. I'd lost
all interest in life; I wasn't feeling much of anything anymore, except
for hopelessness. Irritability had become my new middle name. I had no
energy to speak of, nor the motivation to get anything done. Taking a
shower every day had turned into a herculean feat of willpower. And the
world - that had taken on a grey tinge before - had turned black around
the edges. I had been there before. I knew the signposts. Depression.
That's when I picked up the package insert.
And in this there's a lesson for all of us:
your doctors (or do your utmost to find a doctor you can trust), but
don't trust them completely. Doctors are human beings and they do
occasionally make a mistake, overlook a little detail, or just simply
lack a specific piece of knowledge. Therefore, do always read the package insert before starting on a new medication.
here is what the package insert said: "If you suffer or have ever
suffered from depression (...) you are strongly advised not to take this
medication." Word.
Regardless of my GP's prompt advice
and his optimistic outlook (*) it took another three months until the
depression had receded sufficiently for me to function at a normal
level. Because - duh! - this medication is supposed to have a
long-lasting effect.
For those of you who have ever
suffered from depression it seems needless to say that creativity,
motivation and inspiration weren't exactly abounding. The fact that,
through it all, I still managed to finish the first draft of my novel
astounds me. I am, however, not at all surprised that I couldn't stomach
So, while I do not dare predict the future
and indeed life is a fickle thing, I do believe that the tide has
turned. I am, once again, carefully and cautiously dipping my feet into
the swirling pool of life.
It seems reasonable to assume that blog posts will follow eventually.
See you soon - hopefully.
(*) Discontinue medication, stat. And don't worry, the depression
was triggered by the medication therefore it should disappear quickly.

The Vacaville Premium Outlets are located along Interstate Highway 80 between San Francisco and Sacramento in the city of Vacaville. A multitude of outlet stores are available and sell a variety of items including clothing, shoes, household goods, and other items. The Vacaville Premium Outlets contain about 120 stores. Many name brands are represented. Check out their web site for a full listing. Good bargains are available as is common with outlets, especially when combined with sales.
The outlets are about a one hour drive east from San Francisco or about a half hour drive west from Sacramento. If you plan to depart from San Francisco towards the outlets, avoid leaving the City in the evening rush hour or your driving time will be significantly longer. The outlets are adjacent to Highway 80. The entrance is at the intersection of Nut Tree Parkway and Nut Tree Road.
If you want to get a bargain, drive out to Plam Springs and go to the outlet stores out there. Be like a Palm Springer and shop in the air-conditioned stores during the day and only come out at night.

This was my favorite shopping center, great shops and great shopping! They have all kinds of shops like adidas, big dog sportswear, gap, puma, hilfiger, book stores, furniture, shoes etc etc. Great place!
One of my favorite shopping malls during my trip. Maybe because of the big contrast of getting back to civilisation after my visit to Yosemite ;-)
There were shops of GAP, Reebok, Levi's, and many other smaller ones - I could have spend a fortune and was close to buying a new suitcase...
For those tired of traditional in town malls, outlets are a great option- for your wallet especially! Here are some in Southern Cal I recommend: Outlet Shopping in California (Southern)
