Lamitan vice mayor's 'lies'
I write in reaction to Lamitan City Vice Mayor Arleigh Eisma's unfounded allegations against me, which were aired by Rina Jimenez-David in her Jan. 20 column, and to set the record straight.
1. On budget alteration. None was ever effected on the 2012 city budget. The budget that was spent and used was the same budget submitted to and approved by the Sangguniang Panlungsod, as attested by the Provincial Budget Office and the Sangguniang Panlalawigan. A certified copy of the budget document was submitted to the Commission on Audit (COA) and another one is available in my office for David's ready reference at any reasonable hour of the day.
2. On forcing employees to authorize me to make deductions from their salaries. This is completely a lie. No forced salary deduction was ever made. In fact, the city government gave each employee a P20,000 bonus, apart from the P2,000 productivity incentive. A copy of the payroll was submitted to the COA, and another one is in my office and it is also available for David's reference at any reasonable hour of the day.
3. On the juggling and nonaudit of funds. This is a blatant lie. The COA is very strict in checking the disbursement of city funds.
4. On the misuse of USAID's "Gem Program" funds. This is another total lie. How can I own the sea or seashore where the boat landing was constructed when the sea and seashores are considered part of the public domain under the Regalian Doctrine? Clearly, Vice Mayor Eisma's accusations are all products of a fertile mind salivating for the position of the city mayor.
For the record, up to this time, the city government of Lamitan is operating under the 2012 city budget because the city council under Vice Mayor Eisma cannot muster a quorum to pass the 2013 budget. It appears that the vice mayor is engrossed in a demolition campaign directed at me.—RODERICK H. FURIGAY, mayor, Lamitan City, Basilan

Rupert Murdoch's car mobbed ahead of UK hearing
nepal Rupert Murdoch's car was mobbed by photographers Tuesday as he arrived for a grilling from U.K. lawmakers about the phone hacking scandal that has swept from his media empire through the London police and even to the prime minister's office.
Murdoch, his son James and the media mogul's former U.K. newspaper chief, Rebekah Brooks, were all to be questioned at the hotly anticipated hearing. The elder Murdoch's Range Rover was surrounded as he arrived at the Houses of Parliament three hours early, and it quickly drove off. It wasn't immediately clear if he had come back and gone through another entrance.
Politicians will be seeking more details about the scale of criminality at Murdoch's News of the World tabloid, while the Murdochs will try to avoid incriminating themselves or doing more harm to their business without misleading Parliament, which is a crime.
Lawmakers are also holding a separate hearing to question London police about reports that officers took bribes from journalists to provide inside information for tabloid scoops and to ask why the force decided to shut down an earlier phone hacking probe after charging only two people.
Detectives reopened the case earlier this year and are looking at a potential 3,700 victims.
London's Metropolitan Police force said Tuesday it had asked watchdog to investigate its head of public affairs over the scandal - the fifth senior police official being investigated. The Independent Police Complaints Commission will look at Dick Fedorcio's role in hiring a former News of the World executive as an adviser to the police.
Fedorcio also was to be questioned by lawmakers Tuesday, along with police chief Paul Stephenson and assistant commissioner John Yates, who both resigned over allegations of too-close ties to Murdoch journalists.
Stephenson began his testimony with a defense of his record, saying he resigned because the stories and allegations were becoming a distraction from his job.
He was asked about his relationship with Neil Wallis, a former executive editor who was arrested last week.
Stephenson said he had "no reason to connect Wallis with phone hacking" when he was hired for the part-time job in 2009.
He said now that the scale of phone hacking at the paper has emerged, it's "embarrassing" that Wallis worked for the police.
Stephenson announced his resignation Sunday.
It was the appearance by the Murdochs and Brooks that was drawing huge public interest.
Members of the public and journalists lined up hours ahead of time in hope of a spot in the small committee room, which holds about 40 people. More will be able to watch in an overspill room, and Britain's TV news channels are anticipating high ratings for the appearance.
Prime Minister David Cameron cut short a visit to Africa and is expected to return to Britain for an emergency session Wednesday of Parliament on the scandal.
A former News of the World reporter, Sean Hoare, who helped blow the whistle on the scandal, was found dead Monday in his home. Police said the death was "unexplained" but is not being treated as suspicious. A post-mortem was being conducted Tuesday. Hoare was in his late forties.

Australian wildlife taught to shun cane toads
Published on Nov 27, 2012 2:02 PM
SYDNEY (AFP) - Australia's native animals are being fed nauseating sausages of cane toad meat in a bid to train them against eating the foul, toxic species as it spreads into new areas, researchers said Tuesday.
Cane toads, a warty, leathery creature with a venom sac on their heads toxic enough to kill snakes and crocodiles, are advancing across north-western Australia at a speed of 50km a year.
They were first introduced to Australia from Hawaii to control scarab beetle populations in the 1930s and have now reached pest proportions, breeding prolifically and with few predators.
Native animals, particularly small marsupials and lizards, will die if they eat a full-grown adult and conservationists are attempting to give them a repellent first taste of toad to train them against seeing it as food.

More than any other American city, San Francisco relies on a network of faith- and community-based nonprofits to deliver critical health and human services to its poorest and sickest residents. More than 15,000 people are employed in this sector, which had a total budget of almost $800 million in 2000.
Health and human service nonprofits play a significant role in providing a substantial portion of the city's services for seniors, people with AIDS, the homeless, children and youth, people with special physical and mental needs, and those who suffer from substance abuse.
Yet this critical sector finds itself bearing the brunt of cuts and reduction in services caused by the fiscal crisis facing San Francisco.
So what can we do? Here are seven suggestions.
• First, conduct a coordinated citywide health and human services needs assessment driven by neighborhoods and communities.
• Second, working with service users, service providers, and city employees, create a 10-year plan for health and human services that can guide yearly budget considerations.
• Third, as the city implements the 2009 ballot measure that calls for a two-year budget cycle informed by five-year financial plans, require department heads and commissions to include the perspective of professional service providers and service users, including a standards analysis plan and a narrative about the impact on services.
• Fourth, open a dialogue with the foundation community on addressing the changing needs of the nonprofit human services community, including community needs, accountability, and funding cycles.
• Fifth, depoliticize the request-for-proposals (RFP) process by moving it out of city departments and into the Controller's Office.
• Sixth, require city departments that contract with nonprofit health and human service providers to complete their implementation of the recommendations to streamline the city's contracting and monitoring processes approved by the 2003 City Nonprofit Contracting Task Force, and ensure that current procedures and processes are consistent with those recommendations.
• And seventh, preserve services for the most vulnerable San Franciscans by focusing on revenue solutions to the city's ongoing structural budget deficit, including November 2010 campaigns to increase the hotel tax and the real property transfer tax. (Debbi Lerman, Human Services Network)
Although these are hard times, there's an opportunity for San Francisco to realize a new model of economic sustainability by supporting worker cooperatives.
The worker cooperative model is a business form well-suited to the diverse needs of urban areas and is already viable in a broad variety of sectors including manufacturing, service, and retail. A key aspect of worker cooperative development is that its goal is not just the creation of jobs; it's also about making business ownership accessible.
An inspiring new model of economic development is currently taking place with the Evergreen Cooperatives in Cleveland. In an ambitious effort, anchor institutions such as the local universities, hospitals, and the City of Cleveland have established procurement agreements with developing worker cooperatives rooted in the struggling urban communities of Cleveland (where unemployment rates are as high as 25 percent). The goal is to redirect the estimated $3 billion that these anchor institutions spend on goods and services toward worker cooperatives in the communities where these institutions are located. The first two business models underway are a commercial laundry service and a solar installation company.
There's also a lot of inspiring work already being done by the worker cooperative community in the Bay Area.

The present study investigated the effectiveness of a mindfulness-based pain management program developed to increase accessibility and acceptability for a severe chronic pain population seeking help in two tertiary level hospital pain clinics. Sixty chronic pain patients completed a 12-week Mindfulness-Based Chronic Pain Management program, while 59 individuals on the waiting list served as a control group. Ages ranged from 32 to 79 (mean age 52), and classes contained a mix of on-site and distant-site participants connected via a telemedicine link. Quality of life, pain catastrophizing, usual pain levels, and pain-related suffering were measured at two points during the study period. Program participants showed significant improvements in mental health, pain catastrophizing, and suffering levels, while the controls remained relatively unchanged. Neither group showed significant changes in the physical quality of life measures or usual pain levels. The present study lends support for the effectiveness of mind–body interventions in improving mental health and suffering in chronic pain sufferers seeking help in tertiary pain clinic settings. It also provides evidence for the usefulness of a mindfulness-based program modified specifically for the chronic pain population, and supports its delivery through telemedicine.

On Monday, December 6, 2010, the Supreme Court granted certiorari in American Electric Power v. Connecticut, a case examining whether the electric utility industry may be held accountable in court for its alleged contributions to harms arising from climate change. The implications of the Court's decision will not only affect the utilities industry, but will likely have wide-reaching impacts on other economic sectors—including automakers, agricultural and manufacturing interests, extractive industries, and chemical companies—which may find themselves embroiled in future legal battles over their greenhouse gas ("GHG") emission outputs. Moreover, the case will set precedent for the standing of states and private parties that seek to regulate GHG emissions through common law tort actions, and the potential costs of compensating for the impact of climate change effects would likely be unprecedented.
In American Electric Power, utility companies American Electric Power, Duke Energy, Southern Co., Xcel Energy, and the Tennessee Valley Authority are challenging a U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit decision that enabled states and environmental groups to pursue a public nuisance lawsuit seeking to force power generators to slash their GHG emissions. A public nuisance is defined as an unreasonable interference with the public's right to property, including conduct that interferes with public health and safety—in this case, carbon dioxide emissions that contribute to injury arising from climate change. Eight states, New York City, and environmental groups filed the initial lawsuit in 2004, asking a federal judge to order cuts in power plant emissions in 20 states. The district court initially dismissed the case, but last year the Second Circuit ruled that the case could proceed.

Sri Ram Sene chief Pramod Muthalik has said that he would try to join BJP, from where he was unceremoniously removed only a few hours after his inclusion in Karnataka. "I will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and explain to him the misunderstandings that were created about me by some Karnataka BJP leaders. I have faith in Modi. He is a good leader and will take the country on the path of development. I would like to join BJP," Muthalik told PTI last night, at the backdrop of All India Hindu Convention at Ramnathi village, 40 kms from here.
The 61-year-old leader had hit the headlines after his organisation Sri Ram Sene attacked people going to pubs in Mangalore in 2009.
Muthalik said he had apologised to the people for the attacks as "the way the pub culture was opposed was wrong". He blamed a lobby of BJP leaders in Karnataka for his unceremonious exit from the party, after admitting him in March this year ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. "Wrong information was provided to the party high command by some Karnataka leaders who were afraid that if admitted in the party, I would emerge as a front rank leader. BJP president Rajnath Singh had no knowledge about me. He took a decision based on wrong inputs he received," he alleged.
READ: Following outrage, BJP cancels Pramod Muthalik's membership into the party fold
When pointed out that Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar was among the first leader to oppose his entry into BJP, Muthalik claimed that he (Parrikar) was "misguided" by a senior Karnataka leader. "I will meet Parrikar in a couple of months and clear all the misunderstandings. We both belong to the same background of RSS. We have same ideology," he said.
Muthalik stated that his campaign is against drug, pub and sex mafia in the country, and Sri Ram Sene has been active in 12 states, and soon would be opening a branch in Goa. "I cannot be stopped from opening a branch in Goa. India is a democratic country...," he said when pointed out that several local leaders had vehemently opposed his presence in the state. The leader said he was not planning any attack on pub-goers in Goa, but wanted to take along communities which are also against pub and drug culture.
dnaArchives: Now, Pramod Muthalik released book against BJP leader Ananth Kumar
Sri Ram Sene chief Pramod Muthalik, who is contesting against former union minister and BJP leader Ananth Kumar from Bangalore South constituency has released a book called 'Hudco 14 thousand crore-scams Ananth' on Sunday in the city. After releasing the book Muthalik alleged that, "during the NDA government Anantha Kumar is said to be involved for sanctioning of Rs 14,500 loans by the Housing and Urban Development Corporation(HUDCO) as Urban Development minister. In this Ananth Kumar was given Rs 5000 crore loans to 50 corporate institutions" he accused. This book has written in the banner of Sri Ram Sene and in it accessed Ananth Kumar in 2G scam for nexus between him and Nira Radia. Read more
dnaArchives: Pramod Muthalik decides to contest Lok Sabha polls, attacks BJP
Discarded by BJP within hours of his admission into the party, controversial chief of fringe right wing outfit Sri Ram Sene, Pramod Muthalik, today announced he would contest the Lok Sabha polls against state saffron party chief Prahlad Joshi from Dharwad. "BJP has humiliated me by canceling membership within few hours of my admission..it has hurt my supporters. I have waited for BJP till this afternoon but I didn't get response from them (on taking him back). To uphold Hindutava and save Hindus, I will be contesting elections from Dharwad," he said.

dnaArchives: Interview: I am not corrupt, a rapist, criminal or blue film enthusiast, says Pramod Muthalik
"Pramod Muthalik is not corrupt, a rapist, a criminal or a blue film enthusiast, but he is a patriot, honest person grown up with ideology of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)." Thus spake the founder of the infamous Sriram Sene, who was sacked from the BJP a bare five hours after he was inducted into the party on Sunday. Speaking with Sangamesh Menasinakai, he blamed Goa chief minister Manohar Parrikar, the online media and "misguided" BJP national leaders for blocking his entry into the party.

It is a Dynamic GPS based auto-fare calculator made for India. This application helps in bringing fairness to Indian Auto rickshaw industry. This application enables the user to be in more control of his travel, check where exactly he is being driven to, checking the fare and the distance he/she is travelling. It acts as a guard against faulty meters and is an application so simple which anyone can use easily. An app as Indian as the auto rickshaw is. This tiny application has won the title of Best Application in Indian Android Developer Contest 2011, which again makes it popular like its big-brother Tuk-Tuk Meter.The features of TuTuk2 are:-1) Identify faulty or tampered meters:-TukTuk2 helps to find the exact distance travelled by the user since it calculates the distancewith the help of GPS satellites, which cannot be tampered or altered by the rickshawdrivers as with the Mechanical rickshaw meters.2) Determine the correct fare that is to be paid to the driver:-Since the application calculates the exact distance travelled by the user, it can easilycalculate the fare that is to be paid to the driver with the help very simple mathematicalcalculation. This again helps the user from getting cheated by the drivers and acts as areference to the usual mechanical meter.3) Real-Time distance update with Global Positioning SystemThe distance of the journey are calculated with the help of GPS and gets updated real-time,takes not a minute less or not a minute more to update.4) Preloaded Rates for different metro citiesRates of the different metro cities are preloaded in the application, so that the user doesnot have to enter much of details into the application. This application becomes more user-friendly by giving maximum required output with minimum required input.5) Editable rates for multi-location usageIt is not necessary that user goes around just metro cities. If the user goes out of cities ortowns, the application can still be helpful, as the rates are editable. 6) Route Map of journeyAnother way of getting cheated is when the driver takes wrong route. Just tap on theroute map and you can find what route the auto is travelling through. Can be more helpful to theworking women whose security is a major issue these days.7) Intuitive path calculation algorithm to trace the journey routeThe application has a better route calculating algorithm that calculates the distance withmore accuracy than the previous version, Tuk Tuk Meter.8) Automatic selection of locationOnce the application is launched, it can select the current user location with the help of GPS coordinates and set the fare rates for that city

We interrupt your regularly scheduled 2012 election-season rage tweets with a special report: the 22nd installment of Picked to Click is here!
This is my first year behind Picked to Click, and I'll already say I'd much rather steer this band wagon (get it?) than a PedalPub. Regardless of how you'd rate this current crop of bands, we are certainly in a golden age for voter participation. With the input of 146 Twin Cities club employees, label owners, writers, and scene citizens, we have a weighted cheat sheet for hundreds of performers — and the 10 freshest of the bunch — vigorously keeping this music scene kicking.
Since I just moved back to Minnesota earlier this year, I've noticed Twin Citians often forget how good we have it. So many major metropolitan centers are nowhere close to being as hair-trigger opinionated as we are about our local scene. It's impressive that something as outwardly benign as a yearly survey of the region's new and underappreciated acts can be so reviled by some, but we've always been a little different here. Coming to it with fresh eyes, I take Picked to Click as a bit of nerdy, statistical fun, not an outright industry forecast.
This year, the votes clustered the top four artists within a 12-point range, which made for an exciting bit of spreadsheet-gazing as the ballots poured in. Voters who numbered their picks gave their first-place act five points, the second-placers got four, and so forth. The non-ordered ballots gave each nominated act three points. The ballots that nominated Y.N. Rich Kids in all five slots, or said "Reed, let's get a beer" earned points in my heart, but didn't change the ultimate outcome. —Reed Fischer

The guys from Vampire Hands play in 3 of these bands and if there is any positive about Vampire Hands playing less these days is that the members of the band are playing in some of the best new bands in the cities. Matt Helgeson and Chris Besinger's pre-release versions of songs off Loutallica and the upcoming Animal Collective album are a genius.

Solinco vs. Genesis
Hello, I am a Professional tennis player and lately traveling around the Futures I´ve found that many players are using Solinco, and some others are using Genesis strings. So I´ve tried both and I find that some friends were a little upset about me using Genesis. Why? I don´t know. But this is what I found out about both. First Solinco says something like created in the US, and down there in little letters it says Made in Taiwan. (I think this misleads many) and this players were upset that I was trying a string that was not made in America!!! But I show them it was not made in America and they could´t believe it. Well, I tried the Tour Bite and the Barb something from Solinco. Then I tried the Black Magic and the Typhoon (as Ivo Karlovic is using that one now) and then, I can´t understand how could someone prefer the Taiwan made string against the German made string. This German guys have to be good at making strings. This strings were better in every way compared to the Solinco, but the feeling and the power I was getting from the Genesis is great. Needless to say, I didn´t pay for any of this sets, Solinco and Genesis gives free sets to anyone that wants to try their strings even more we can get Solinco reels for 50usd, instead of 155. But my ATP points cost more to me than 50usd. So I am staying with Genesis for a little while, as RPM feels a little stiffer than the Typhoon, and almost the same as the Black Magic. What I do agree with other players is that the presentation is not as good as the Solinco, but what I say is that my presentation card is in my serve, and in my forehand, not in the way my reel looks like when I go to string my racquets!!!
I don't think it's entirely fair to say that Solinco stinks because it's either not American, or the fact that it's not as good as another string which happens to be German. While Germany is a hotbed for poly strings, the most popular ones are still being made in Belgium/USA (Luxilon) and France (Babolat, Technifibre).
who cares where they are made as long as they perform well for you. Both make some good strings, you just need to find out which is best for you, which it seems you already have.
Personally, I prefer the black magic over any other poly. Great string.
On another note, at several futures I string at this year there were quite a bit of players using the Genesis (Black Magic/Typhoon). Also, not sure if Karlovic is using it (Genesis),,,,, I think you meant Gabashavilli,,,,,,,,,,,, and also, Wayne Odesnik uses it.
Also, not sure if Karlovic is using it (Genesis),,,,, I think you meant Gabashavilli,,,,,,,,,,,, and also, Wayne Odesnik uses it.[/QUOTE]
I used the Typhoon as they said it is being used by Karlovic, that is what I heard, where can I check if that is truth???
While Germany is a hotbed for poly strings, the most popular ones are still being made in Belgium/USA (Luxilon) and France (Babolat, Technifibre).[/QUOTE]
You are totally right, but Gelgium and France are right next to Germany. I know Babolat didn´t have the RPM until Signum Pro made and started selling pretty good the Hyperion and the Tornado. So my guess is that there is only one polymer maker and France and Belgium or France and Germany buys from them. I was talking with one guy that makes Coca Cola bottles and he told me that all the new plastics come from Germany, and Germany sells to everyone in the world the best plastics. That is including Polymers and Polyesters. Second I know only one brand of strings make strings in here, and that one is not Luxilon, and it is not even a great string, at least not for tennis.
^^You may want to check the Genesis website.
Perhaps karlovic is trying it out??
I just found this.
It seems Dr. Ivo is using the typhoon.
Now, back to the topic - I have tried many, almost every significant string in the market and nothing from Genesis comes close to Solinco. Typhoon is going dead super-fast, faster than Lux. Tour Bite however is one of the finest polys in the market hands down.
Richard1500, you had better stick to being a so called "Professional tennis player" as I don't think you really understand what the ins and outs of tennis gear actually is.
I think it was a bit of a strange statement you were trying to get across.
Bet your racquet is made in China, and your shoes too............. oh, how about your shirt..
the shirt is likely to be bangladesh or vietnam.:)
I play with strings that are best for my game regardless of manufacturing location.
mikeler has spoken. Admins, please close this thread!
That said, there is one company that simply trumps when it comes to quality control: Yonex. They're made in Japan which is simply known for attention to detail and zero compromise in their products' quality. This does not mean that Yonex frames are superior to Wilson, Head or Babolat.[/QUOTE]
I want to know about Yonex strings, I´ve never tried one before, are they good? I know they are good for badminton, but for tennis, I haven´t see any player using it.

In Mountain Province, 4 hydro plants to go online in '16
popular .
Four hydropower plants are set to supply electricity to the Mountain Province by March 2016, having obtained government incentives, the Board of Investments (BOI) reported on Thursday.
To date, the province does not have a single power generating facility of its own.
The power facilities have a combined power capacity of 10.55 megawatts (MW).
The 2.4-MW Dicapan hydropower project in Barangay Lubon, Tadian town, will be constructed at a cost of P369.8 million. It is expected to generate an aggregate of 8,697,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity a year.
The P400.7-million Upper Siffu hydropower project with 2.75 MW power capacity in Barangay Balangao, Natonin town is expected to produce 9,630,000 kWh of electricity annually.
The 3.0-MW Lower Siffu hydropower project worth P426.8 million, also in Barangay Balangao, is projected to produce 9,900,000 kWh of electricity yearly.
Also, the P449-million 2.4-MW Tanudan hydropower project in Barangay Lias, Barlig town will generate a total of 11,720,000 kWh of electricity a year.
Each project will employ 17 personnel. All four are scheduled to begin operations simultaneously in March 2016, BOI said.
The hydropower projects are projected to supply electricity to the Mountain Province which, to date, has no single power generating facility of its own.
The BOI said the Mountain Province has only one distribution utility, the Mountain Province Electric Cooperative (Mopreco).
It is responsible for the distribution of electricity to consumers in the province while the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) takes care of the transmission lines.
The renewable energy sector is one of the priority activities in the Investments Priorities Plan (IPP). The BOI spearheads the interagency effort to annually craft the IPP. The IPP is specially formulated to attract more investments and mobilize private capital in key areas of the economy.
The installation and expansion of renewable energy is a critical factor in sustaining the energy supply of the country. The government aims to triple its existing renewable energy capacity of 5,438 MW to 15,304 MW by 2030 as part of the National Renewable Energy Program.
Over the years, renewable energy has evolved into a major contributor of the country's primary energy supply. It accounted 57.5 percent of the energy needs as of 2010, based on Department of Energy figures. Hydro energy dominates the RE sector as it already comprised over 60 percent of the RE output as of 2010. Riza T. Olchondra

Ford House chef wins SOC tastefest
the Grosse Pointe News
write the author
July 18, 2013
The Edsel & Eleanor Ford House chef whipped up an English menu for Services for Older Citizens June 26 International Tastefest. And the offerings, featuring seasonal food, took top honors. It also took first place for best décor.
Best decor second place went to Senior Solutions with a Mexican theme. A Hawaiian theme earned Heartland Georgian East third place.
Second place in the best food category went to Beaumont Health Services with an Irish traditional lamb stew.
Swedish and Lebanese dishes tied for third place. Sunrise Senior Living on Vernier and Roslyn featured homemade Swedish meatballs and Beline Obeid Realty offered Lebanese food, prepared by Cedar Garden.
"The Tastefest is a great way to educate our seniors on local services and products that are available to them from our business partners out in the community. Plus it's lots of fun to sample all of the treats and get to know our seniors and community partners better while we all nibble, mingle and learn," said Sharon Maier, SOC's executive director.
As part of the festivities, seniors were able to cast votes for which tables they deemed the best décor and the best food.
First place Ford House draped its table in black linens, tiered platforms and accessorized with seasonal edible flowers such as nasturtiums from the Ford House gardens. The food also featured seasonal flavors in artisanal scones of two different varieties and a chilled soup featuring asparagus, cucumber, dill and chives, also grown in the Ford House's gardens.
"We're really looking forward to offering and expanding this event next year," said Melissa Jenness, SOC's auction and events coordinator. "It's such a great way to bring our seniors together with our community partners and learn both about what our partners can offer and what our seniors are looking for."

Deja Vu All Over Again: Worshiping the Wrong Ronald Reagan
Posts Tagged: Bush administration
A wise U.S. foreign policy would be one that is sensitive to Ukraineâs function as a bridge between Russia and the Western military alliance.
Bushs stated top priority on trade is to guide new language through the U.S. Congress to grant the administration authority to negotiate new trade agreements with other nations under the so-called fast track rules under which Congress simply votes yes
For those who see George W. Bush as a dummy, the question is, who are his ventriloquists?
A Bush presidency portends a return to the blatantly anti-African policies of the Reagan-Bush years, characterized by a general disregard for black people and a perception of Africa as a social welfare case.
Bush and his East-European ties
The U.S. has a long history, spanning both Republican and Democratic administrations, of advocating openness and accountability at the IFIs.
There is little in the above record to suggest a major departure in Middle East policy when Bush takes office in January.
Foreign policy issues were mostly an afterthought during the 2000 presidential campaign, and they continue to take a back seat in President-elect George W. Bushs discussions of the priorities of his incoming administration.

Don't be too brave,
It might save,
from you.
I'll tell you a story...
One day I woke up,
in a pile of shit,
but I wasn't surprised
not even a bit.
Fortunately, my home was away few miles,
people I was passing by, heh,
I've never seen so much smiles,
around me,
They were wondering; what was I doing?
what happened to me?
Some of them avoided me,
some of them yelled,
some of them smelled!?
weird ha,
one of them got creative, and took a hose,
his laugh suddenly rose,
when he let the water overflow,
I was overrun,
It was a real show.
A guess they were happy,
that even their life wasn't so crappy.
They finally found,
somebody even more messed up than them,
a black lamb.
For some reason, that made me satisfied,
I had no choice anyway,
I had nowhere to hide.
But you remember I said,
I wasn't surprised,
I did not lied,
You see, yesterday I accidentally met,
a pack of thugs,
so conveniently instead of hugs,
one pulled a knife,
He made me afraid for my life,
so I got pissed, I went for a hit,
I missed,
so they said to me,
"oh man, you're gonna wake up in a pile of ..."
That is it
I got home,
I took a shower,
and I went to sleep,
Eventful way,
to start and finish a day,
I would say.
Would you?

PHILADELPHIA, June 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Bluestar Silicones will showcase its new Silbione® silicone elastomer solutions, including low durometer liquid silicone rubber (LSR) and self-bleeding LSR, at the upcoming Medical Design & Manufacturing (MD&M) East Conference (Booth #3744), June 18-20.
Bluestar Silicones' new 1 Shore A (ShA) hardness product, Silbione LSR 4301, uniquely combines strong physical properties and easy processing in a low-durometer material. This product rounds out the company's 5 and 10 ShA soft LSR range, delivering high tear strength and elongation for soft cushioning and vibration dampening applications.
The company also introduces its new Silbione LSR 4755, which creates a lubricious surface on the molded part after vulcanization. This lubricious material is designed to minimize friction and prevent slit healing in application. Built into the bulk LSR formulation, the self bleeding lubricity of Silbione LSR 4755 eliminates the need for a secondary coating process to reduce coefficient of friction, reducing costs and improving cycle time for the part manufacturer.
"Bluestar Silicones is excited to present these specialty silicone solutions to the market," according to Karen O'Keefe, market manager, North America. "The high performance physicals of our low durometer LSRs are unmatched in the industry. And, our self-bleeding material provides a solution to the inherent non-slip surface of LSRs, improving productivity in automated assembly and part performance in select applications."
These specialty LSR products are manufactured in a clean room environment at Bluestar Silicones' new 226,000-sq-ft facility in York, S.C., and incorporate the distinctive advantages of Bluestar Silicones' standard LSR product line, including easy processing, easy release, and high-performance physic

Hello from Wyoming
Hello everyone!
I am new to sailing and the community here. I have lived in land locked Colorado and Wyoming for the past 7 years. I am a big fisherman, especially fly fishing. Originally from central Texas, I moved to Colorado for a job with the railroad back in '05. I have yet to have sailed, but I've spent a good deal of time on the water with other small boats. I currently have a tiny one man inflatable pontoon boat that I use in the lakes. Now that my kids are getting old enough to get out there with me, I needed to upgrade to something large enough for the whole family. I had considered buying a v-hull aluminum boat, but my wife suggested a sailboat since the wind always blows here in Wyoming. After some researching on the web and library, I've become obsessed with sailing. Summers up here are much shorter than they were back in TX, but I plan to find a boat that I can learn to sail on and then be able to take the kids out for some sailing and fishing. Ideally, I'd like a boat that has room to sleep all of us overnight, but I'm not too sure if that's too big to learn the basic's on and to sail solo when the family can't come too.

Saturday 21st June this year, marked the 8th Annual Reef Day event at The Reef Dive Resort, Mataking Island; in collaboration with WWF Malaysia. The theme this year was "Love the Ocean, Respect the Reef".
The management and staff of Mataking Island were joined by WWF Malaysia, Green Semporna, Reef Check Malaysia, Wanita Pulau Omadal (WAPO), guests from the resort, students from SK St Patrick and SJK Sin Hwa in Tawau and SK Pekan Semporna and children from nearby Kalapuan. The PGA and Army based at Mataking also gave a hand.
Thank you everyone for your help and support this reef cleanup. The good news is that the amount of marine debris collected on the reef today was much less than our previous cleanup at this reef. This is great news and indicates that there is a degree of marine debris collection going on among the divers that dive this site throughout the year. I know that a few of the local dive shops request the divers pay attention and pick up any marine debris they find when they dive Spanish Rocks Reef, so this is good news for all.
As with Action Scuba, we are a 100% AWARE dive store, during dive #4 of the PADI Search & Recovery specialty I always bring my students to pick up trash as part of the performance requirements.
On May 10, 2014, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., The Dive Shop held their annual Splash for Trash event at Himalaya Bay. Trash was collected both underwater and on land. Approximately 733 lbs. of trash was collected on land in the areas bordering the ocean in the 10 hour period. Eighteen people participated this year. Items collected included:
634 - plastic bags, food wrappers, cups and plates
733 - styrofoam cups, bowls, plates, food containers, meat trays
177 - glass beverage bottles
151 - Aluminum beverage cans and pull tabs
We did a DAD at La Jolla Shores on 5-14-14 and, luckily, did not see too much debris, but brought back a little. Too little to weigh, which is unusual: last time, we brought back quite a bit of material. Will log that dive as well.
Thanks to all for participating in our Earth Day Cleanup at Mosquito Pier. We removed more than 40lbs of monofilament (wonder how many miles that is?), lots of cans, bottles and 2 old lobster traps (we were able to release all the critters that were trapped in them).
We had another successful underwater cleanup on Sunday April 26th. We were rained out on Saturday but nine volunteers cleaned up different parts of Little Pond in Morton Park, Plymouth MA on Sunday where we have conducted underwater cleanups at for many years. Each year the pond looks better and this year we all saw more groups of small fish and more Turtles in different areas of the pond. Many Thanks to all of our volunteers that made a differece this weekend!
On Saturday, April 19, 2014, seventy-seven volunteer divers gathered at Dive Friends Bonaire @ Dive Inn for the latest quarterly clean up dive. The dive site being targeted for a "spring clean" was the South Pier. South Pier was definitely in need of a clean because it is a popular destination for fishermen as well as the main pier used for cargo deliveries and cruise ships.
Excellent and productive day.
We began the day with an orientation and a small lecture regarding reef ecology, marine debris and shark finning.
The beach clean up followed with great success. Manage to collect around 10 kg of rubbish in only a short hour.
After a well deserved lunch break we headed out into the ocean to clean our local dive site 'Sairee reef'. With a shallow dive for over an hour we collected over 10 kg off assorted debris spread out over an area of 100 meters squared.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Kirk Gibson loves addition of Mark Grace to D-backs
Former Arizona Diamondbacks broadcaster and first baseman Mark Grace started his stint in Tent City this week, serving his time after being arrested twice in a 15 month span for DUI offenses. Tent City is a very different environment for a baseball star who recorded over 2,400 hits in his career with more than 500 doubles.
An environment that is familiar to Grace is the baseball diamond, and that's where you'll find him from 6:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. every day for the next four months, thanks to the Diamondbacks organization.
"I love it," said manager Kirk Gibson when asked about the addition of Grace to the coaching staff. "I called [general manager Kevin Towers] one day and said I'd like to invite Gracie to spring training. Obviously teammates need teammates sometimes and it's just how I felt about it."
After Grace's second DUI arrest became public last August, the team relieved him of his broadcasting duties, and when the season wrapped up they decided not to renew his contract.
"We continued to talk as an organization what would be best for him and with his situation," Gibson said Tuesday at Salt River Fields. "You know he has a lot of knowledge and wisdom. He's been in the game a long time and he's got a great sense of humor so we felt he had something to add."
Team president Derrick Hall felt the same way as Gibson. He said they wanted Mark back in the organization and thought he could have a positive influence on the young players, saying Grace is willing to talk to them about the "rights and wrongs" off the field.
Grace will spend all of spring training with the major league club but also shift over and work with the minor leaguers. Gibson says he will learn the way things work from the bottom up.
"Sky's the limit. You know he's got a great opportunity and I think he's got a great gift. He knows he's got to clean his act up," said Gibson. "I talk to him about it all the time. I think he learned a lesson before but I think this is a whole different lesson."
A lot of organizations invite former players back to help out as assistant coaches or minor league coaches, but this case is a little different. Gibson had no problem acknowledging that this is also about helping out a friend in need.
"His friends are there for him, that's the way I look at it," he said. "It's not like he doesn't have ability or doesn't have anything to add. So with those two things together it was a no-brainer."
During the four months that Grace will spend in Tent City, he is granted work release every day from 6:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. because the Diamondbacks agreed to bring him on as an employee.
"He's good," Gibson said. "So far so good and if you asked him, he's got a good smile on his face here and he really appreciates being here; and my guess is that he's not looking forward to six o'clock."

I agree with ChrissyLee and karlottta one this one. Even if you are not observing other woman from a homosexual standpoint, it is natural to observe and analyze everything in our environment, including each other. Our world is full of naturally beautiful things, and that includes the human body. There is nothing wrong with appreciating someone's appearance or sexuality from an objective standpoint, or even a subjective one. Our "rules of society" tell us that you can either be sexually attracted to someone, or not sexually attracted, but it isn't that simple. Don't worry about trying to put yourself into a box. You are what you are, and that's fine.
karlotta 3 years
What woman doesn't spend time checking out other women, comparing their attributes to hers, or even sometimes simply admiring? Like Chrissy said, unless there's a physical attraction or a desire to touch, you don't need to put too much thought into it. And if there is, well, it sure ain't the end of the world. I understand that the realization you may be gay or bisexual is scary, but it's something that you can learn to come to terms with and live a happy fulfilling life! Just don't pretend it's not there if it is; that's a sure recipe for misery.
ChrissyLee 3 years
It's normal to think about other women's bodies, in terms of how they look or how they are different from you. Only you know if these thoughts are sexual, if you're thinking about being intimate with a woman. Even if you are it doesn't make you gay, maybe bisexual, but you shouldn't ignore these feelings. IT's worth taking the time to figure out how you're feeling and not just pushing these things aside.

+ 1 for Dan
+ 1 for Ralph
(I will read the Staler after brunch)
Over the years, I have "collected" ZS interpretations for those who are more interested in taking good pictures than proving their maths proficiency. Among my favourites is one from Gem Singer, over at lfinfo, which is almost as good as the ones above. (but lacking the distinction of the "important" details in the shadows and highlights) There is also an equally brief but slightly different one by Rob Gray, and a rather irreverant one by Jim Brick that reduces the zones to four, "Zone Good, Zone Bad, Zone Ugly, Zone Butt Ugly." His treatment gives a bit of a chuckle, but his reasoning is sound.
These three are posted on my site (with permission of the authors)

Respond to Review of CLOSED: Fressen
by VeganJo
Review: I can't say I enjoyed Fressen that much, mainly because most of the time I was freezing cold. I asked the (helpful) waitress to turn the heating up and it went extremely hot for a while before returning to being cold. So be prepared for eating with your coat on. The food was pretty good. I loved the sound of the mushroom filo pastry with spinach sauce but found that the top of it was burnt slightly and the bottom soggy as sitting in loads of sauce, so it didn't quite live up to expectations but was quite tasty nonetheless as were the lentil balls. I had a tapas and a starter and found it was enough food for me and not at all expensive either.

I'm confused.
Don't really have any heat flashes anymore but would like to feel "normal" again.
For those of you who received your kit, what did it contain? I thought it might be nice not only to let people know that the kit comes, but also to give them an idea of what the kit may contain. Since my kit didn't match the picture shown on the website, I thought others might have received something different than I did. I received a 40 tablet box of Remifemin, a regular size Chill Cooling Towel, a small sample of ActiFruit (1 chew), a small sample of Doctor's Choice multivitamins (3 tablets), and a large package of Revival chocolate Daydream shake. The kit included several brochures and two coupons, one for $2.00 off Remifemin and one for $3.00 off Actifruit. Too bad it didn't include coupons for the other products in the kit.
Since the Gabapentin I take is still working reasonably well on the hot flashes, and it's much so much cheaper than the Remifemin, I think I will stick with that. I'm afraid to even try the Remifemin because it takes very little to cause problems with the Gabapentin. Every time I start a new medicine or change one I'm currently taking, the Gabapentin stops working properly for a little while. I will be trying everything else though. Hmmm, now to find someone who needs the Remifemin. Thanks again for the great find OP.
Roll Tide
I found a great product though. New Phase it comes in regular and Extra Strength (Which does have some green tea extract caffiene in it). I had some serious MenOpaws stuff going on. And frankly taking this has been better then anything I tried. After 8 years I am symptom free. *And my family is grateful*
You can get a 2.00 coupon at smartsource or coupons.com from time to time. The ExtraStrength New Phase is 12.99 at our Walmart. Well worth the price to me.
If you are caffiene sensitive I suggest the Regular New Phase. Everyone I have suggested it too and takes it have said it works wonders.
Good luck.
MenOPaws Sucks. But now I am HAPPY!!!!
