The region's road racing heritage was cemented with the Armoy Armada which was established in 1977 by Frank Kennedy, Jim Dunlop, Mervyn Robinson and the local road racing legend Joey Dunlop. His achievements include three hat-tricks at the Isle of Man TT where he won 26 races in total; he won the Ulster Grand Prix 24 times and, in 1986, he won a fifth consecutive Formula One world title.
The Dunlop Memorial Gardens and nearby museum in Ballymoney have become points of pilgrimage for people from around the world who marvel at the skill, commitment and courage which are synonymous with success in this tough sport.
The International North West 200 is Ireland's largest outdoor sporting event and a world renowned motorcycle road race festival week and is staged on the famous nine mile 'triangle' course in the Borough of Coleraine. Set within the stunning backdrop of the Causeway Coast this annual family festival is a must see and attracts enthusiasts from all over the world.
For more information www.northwest200.org
For many years visitors have been supporting our race in large numbers. The same can be said of competitors who return year after year to take on the curves, twists and jumps of the 3.5 mile circuit located just a few miles from the bustling town of Ballymena (less than 45 minutes from Belfast and Larne ferry ports or either of the main airports, Belfast City and Belfast International).

The Armoy Motorcycle Road Races, dubbed the "Race of Legends", honours local legends Frank Kennedy, Mervyn Robinson, Joey Dunlop and Jim Dunlop, collectively known as the Armoy Armada. This year's races are on Friday 24th and Saturday 25th July 2015 and features top riders Guy Martin, William Dunlop, Keith Amor, Dan Kneen, Dean Harrison and Michael Dunlop to name but a few. There is a week long festival of events centred around the Road Races in the village of Armoy and everyone is invited.
For more information www.amrrc.com
The Dundrod Circuit is situated high in the hills overlooking Belfast and Lisburn, just a 10 minute journey from both historic cities. The circuit layout hasn't changed since it was a World Championship event when the likes of Hailwood, Agostini and in later years Joey Dunlop entertained the thousands around the 7.4 mile circuit. For 51 weeks of the year the circuit is a normal highway but for that one week in August it is a full blown race circuit, over the past ten years a lot of the hedges on corners etc. have been removed giving good safe run off areas, thus making it a real scratcher's circuit.
The circuit is a fast flowing circuit that has everything, and in fact a lot of the pure road racers have voted it to be their favourite road race circuit. There are many excellent vantage points around the circuit, with grandstand seating, big screens with live coverage from a helicopter, good food and toilet/shower facilities. So if you make that first trip to Dundrod, we can guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Barbara Trotman, at your service.
My first visit ( there will be more!) to gorgeous Barbados exceeded my expectations. The people , scenery, landscape,beaches were all fantastic. We went as a group of friends and booked the Oceana apartment at St Lawrence Beach Condos through Barbara Trotman. It was superbly located with bars, restaurants and a grocer's within minutes walk. The views out on to the ocean were stunning. The apartment was spotlessly clean, well appointed and very comfortable; all the staff made sure we enjoyed our holiday. The lovely Barbara was a mine of information and very helpful throughout our stay.
We spent a lot of time around the immaculate pool area which is literally feet away from the crystal clear sea and and powder soft sand.
One tip though, when you're looking for the switch to turn on the cooker... look behind the picture on the wall in the kitchen!!
We were extremely impressed with the fantastic ocean view and the balcony that overlooks the pool and the ocean - it was a dream come true. The entire building was very clean and the location of the property was within walking distance for everything we needed. All of the staff were fantastic and were extremely helpful, especially Ricardo, Michael and Jerry, who also gave us advice on where to find grocery stores, beaches and other tourist places. We would definitely recommend this property and we hope to return to it again.
On our arrival to St Lawrence Gap apartments we received a warm friendly greeting fom Barbara. The apartment was well presented, immaculate & spacious. The apartment was also well equiped (even beach towels !!) & nicely decorated, the swimming pool was just a few steps away and was not over crowded. There are beautiful views of the sea from the bedroom & living room balcony. The staff at the apartment were very friendly & helpful !!
The apartment is situated right in the heart of the Gap, which is an excellent location for resturants, nighlife & the beach. There is also a shop where you can buy groceries which is a 2 minute walk, which was very handy. Getting around Barbados is easy there are plenty of taxi's around and a short walk for the ZR bus service.
There ia a variety of things to do in Barbados, our favourites are the Round House at Bathsheba, a day on the Catamaran Cool Runnings, the Harbour Master both Day & Night, Sudbury Plantation, Accra & Miami Beach , don't miss Friday night Fish & Fry at Oistins, I could go on.
We would highly recommend this apartment & we intend to re visit soon !!!
St Lawrence Beach Condos are all beach front suites overlooking the Caribbean sea, on the South coast of the island of Barbados, in the heart of St. Lawrence Gap, the entertainment and dining spot in Barbados, 2 miles from Bridgetown. The apartments have theirs own small private beach and jetty or larger Dover or Worthing beaches are a short stroll away. Go scuba diving from Half Moon Bay, or it is well worth going on a safari around the island and in addition exploring by car is both an adventure and fun. The island is so small you cannot get lost. Go to both South Point and North Point to see both ends of Barbados and see the differences the island has to offer. Bathsheba on the East Coast is particularly wild and in stark contrast to the tranquillity of the West Coast and it's beaches. Oistins 'Fish Fry' on Friday night is an absolute must and just a 10 minute drive from the apartments. After dining, listen to the Reggae music or try ballroom dancing to music from the 60s at Lexies Bar.

To say I'm looking forward to the Miesha Tate and Ronda Rousey UFC fight at the end of December is an understatement of epic proportions. It's not that I like seeing two hot women punch, kick, and grapple each other into brutal submission. It's that I love that.
Sure, it's pretty sick and twisted if you think about it, so I prefer not to do much thinking. Naturally, I do pray for no busted noses or facial injuries that would take away from the killer allure of both these ladies, with Miesha's crazy hot female form on display in this months Fitness Gurls magazine. Looking at Miesha in her bikini, it's hard not to root for her in so many different and self-serving ways. But, when the time comes, as usual, I will objectively evaluate the two contenders and promptly bet on the loser. Enjoy.

Miller: Don't Hold Veterans Hostage in Debt Debate
Rep. Jeff Miller (R-FL), chairman of the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs, released a statement supporting the Boehner plan and arguing against tying up veterans' benefits due to the debt ceiling debate.
"Taking care of America's veterans has been, and always will be, one of this country's highest priorities," Miller said. "Many questions have been raised recently regarding the debt crisis and what will happen to America's veterans come August 2. As of today, the Administration has yet to provide clarity to these men and women."

The Oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis is serious pest of fruit crops. It is native to Asia but now lives in more than 30 Asian and Oceanic countries, and is treated as a threat in many others with tropical or sub-tropical climates. In the US, it has invaded and been eradicated multiple times in California, occurs in small numbers annually in Florida, and is widespread in Hawaii (since about 1945). An established population was eradicated from Mauritius in the 1990s. Quarantine and eradication programs are vigilant in the US to ensure that flies carried in on cargo or passenger baggage are not able to establish themselves, as Oriental fruit flies are fast growing (the life cycle takes about 16 days in summer), long lived and have high reproductive potential (females typically lay 1500 eggs in their lives, but can lay up to 3000). Bactrocera dorsalis has a wide host range on over 150 fruit and vegetable crops, the most common being: citrus, guava, mango, papaya, avocado, banana, loquat, tomato, surinam cherry, rose-apple, passion fruit, persimmon, pineapple, peach, pear, apricot, fig, apple, melon and coffee. Females lay eggs under ripe fruit's skin (although they also will lay in green fruit) and larvae destroy the fruit by feeding on it as they develop. In Hawaii, the Oriental fruit fly destroys about 13% of fruit yields annually. Insecticides, sterile male releases, and introduced parasitoids have been variously used to control and eradicate populations.

Sometimes, things aren't as bad as they seem. They're worse. If you're thinking about buying some bank stocks now because you figure they can't possibly get uglier, remember that sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel is a one-eyed monster.
But if you really can't resist bank stocks now — some have been beaten down by 30% or more this year — then consider investing in the stocks of banks whose officers are buying, too. They may lead you to safety — and if they don't, well, at least you won't suffer alone.
Bank stocks have been such a chamber of horrors this year that it's hard to know where to begin. Let's start with interest rates. For the past two years, banks have suffered because the difference between long-term interest rates and short-term rates was so narrow.
Here's why: A bank makes its money mainly by taking funds from depositors and then lending it out to businesses, home buyers and other borrowers. If a bank can pay you 3% on a one-year CD while charging you 6% for a 30-year mortgage, life (for the bank, anyway) is good. For much of last year, though, the spread between what banks pay on deposits and what they charge for loans was unusually narrow.
Cleveland-based National City Bank ncc paid out $896 million in interest to depositors in 2004 but collected far more — $5.5 billion — in interest and fees on loans. By the end of 2006, its interest and fee income had grown smartly, to $8.9 billion. But the interest it paid on customers' deposits had soared, to $2.4 billion.
Because lower short-term rates can boost a bank's profit margin, bank stocks often rise when the Federal Reserve cuts its target for short-term interest rates. But regional bank stocks have tumbled 7.8% since the Fed cut its key federal funds rate on Sept. 18. Stocks of big money-center banks have fallen 7%.
Why? Blame the subprime mortgage debacle. Because interest margins were so narrow and the housing market was so frothy, banks began making high-interest loans to shaky borrowers. This rarely ends well. And it hasn't this time, either.
As mortgage defaults have risen, bank after bank has announced horrible third-quarter earnings. Bank of America's bac third-quarter earnings were 32% below the level of the third quarter of 2006. Much of BofA's profit shrinkage came from its global investment banking unit, whose earnings fell 93% during the third quarter.
If you're the type of investor who likes to buy stocks after they've been hammered, bank shares are the kind of stocks you'd favor right now. Bank of America shares have fallen 5.1% since the Fed's September rate cut. Its dividend yield has soared to 5.3% — more than you'd get from the average money market fund. National City Bank's stock has fallen 8.9%. Its dividend yield: 6.9%. What could go wrong?
Plenty, says James Abbott, an analyst at Friedman Billings Ramsey, an Arlington, Va., investment bank. "Banks have a lot more problems than subprime," he says. Loan defaults are rising for all borrowers, even those with high credit ratings, Abbott notes. "Everyone's credit is deteriorating."
If consumers rein in their spending, commercial lending will suffer as well. If people start to spend less, small businesses, such as restaurants, will start going out of business. "It's not a pretty picture, in my view," Abbott says. He doesn't foresee improvement until the end of 2008.

Is it hard and brittle, like dried clay? How much volume is the boat in the middle? Judging by the shadows, the boat only touches one "rung" of the bottle, along the keel. I'd imagine making some part of the sides touch another rung of the bottle would make this more sturdy.

Funny, this in fact adds to the price because, for ceramics, they charge per cm2: $0.18/cm2 surface area, and not per volume, as they do for all other materials Actually this is just the enlarged model of my: http://www.shapeways.com/model/124978/ship-in-a-bottle.html that prints beautifully in Stainless Steel.

Do you feel anxious about the idea of getting tested for sexually transmitted infections and diseases? Some of our readers certainly do.
Some never had adequate sex-education and did not realize that sexual activity with a partner -- and not just anal or vaginal intercourse -- can pose STI risks in the first place. Some are not sure where to go for testing or how to ask for it. Others feel uncomfortable discussing STIs with a partner or potential partner. We get it: this stuff can be hard, and it is usually not the kind of thing where someone just takes us by the hand and leads us through.
This is why we're doing this series at Scarleteen. In it, some of our volunteers share their own stories of how they deal with different aspects of STI testing and reproductive healthcare.
Ten years ago, I knew about using lube, about making first-time intercourse comfortable, and about pregnancy prevention options, but it seems I didn't know much about sexually transmitted infections.
My partner atRead more...
When I was growing up, I often turned to my mother for relationship advice. We had our differences, but we were close, and I valued her opinions. However, I also found myself grappling with many of the things she said, because in all of it one thing was clear: for her, the only kind of acceptable sexual relationships are monogamous, heterosexual, long-term commitments.
We first started having these conversations when I was around 14 years old, which was also when I first started to question my sexuality. From the start, I had some questions about this concept. What if I did not want to sleep with men at all? What if I did not feel interested in the marriage-and-kids thing?
A few years later, after two failed relationships (with the same wonderful person) and a lot of angst, I was fairly certain about two things: 1. I was pretty darn queer and 2. I wasn't cut out for monogamous, long-term relationships at the time. I did not feel comfortable within a relationship, no matter how awesomRead more...
It struck me today that folks might sometimes wonder why, with an organization focused on sexuality, sexual health, and sexual relationships, we spend quite a bit of time talking about friendship. We do it in articles and blogs, and we talk with users often in our direct services about their friendships.
What's that got to do with what we do?
A lot. Perhaps far more than you'd think.
For starters, we strongly feel that friendship is at the core of any and every excellent, happy, healthy relationship, whether we're talking about a friendship that doesn't have any romance or sex in it at all, or we're talking about romantic relationships, sexual relationships or both. We think a sound friendship also has an awful lot to do with healthy family relationships, mentorships, and pretty much any ongoing human interaction we could possibly have.
Our relationships with people will also tend to be fluid through our lives. Friends can become lovers, lovers can become friends or family. Our superRead more...
I'm 13 and my boyfriend is 16. I'm a virgin but he isn't and I feel like if I don't have sex with him he is going to break up with me. Should we just have oral? Also, how can you tell if someone has already had sex?
I am 24. I am a virgin. I tried to have sex with my boyfriend. We didn't use condoms. He tried to put it inside of me. I was in pain. He went in a little. I was feeling uncomfortable. He was so angry. I told him, I wasn't ready. He was very angry. He told me to get over it. He is so frustrated. Is there way to get over the pain? Does lube work?
There seems to be the almost universal belief among North American parents (I'm sure this is a phenomena found elsewhere as well, but I'm just talking about what I've personally seen) that their kids, whether these are theoretical future children or actual kids, and whether they have yet to reach their teen years or not, will hate or at the very least dislike them. Teenagers hate their parents: everyone knows that.
My mother has told me that when my sister and I were small, she used to say to my father that he had to take over primary parental duties once we hit our teen years. She's told me that she loved being a parent, and loved spending time with us, right from the get-go, but being surrounded by warnings of "wait until they become teenagers!" she always thought that would change when we got older.
I suppose it's actually a very reasonable belief that your teens will dislike you: after all, most teens I know and have kRead more...
I've been dating my current boyfriend for 5 months now, and I really am ready and willing to have sex. But, he's not. He wants to, and he's curious but he feels that he shouldn't? I don't know what to do, I don't understand why he's feeling this way about it. Is there something wrong with me? Something he's afraid to say? Or is he just really scared himself? Help!
My 15 year old son has a first girlfriend who is a year older. My concern is that she lives with her dad only and quite often is home alone. My son has been there twice already and one time I made him leave because the dad was not home. I am besides myself about how to handle this. He said that he is not going to have sex with her but you know how that goes. I know what I was doing at 15. Do I make condoms available? But that would be condoning it. I will have a talk with the girl about not hanging at her house. They are always welcome at mine and I will try to speak to her dad about it.
im a girl, im 15 and im scared or any kind of sex. (fingerbang, hand job, blow job, or sex) the thing is all of my friends have gone farther than me or have even had sex,i live in a small town so we are always finding things to compete over and this happens to be something all the girls are doing. when i think about being sexually active with my boy friend im okay with it, i actually want to, but when i have the chance to i back out... i think the main reason is i dont know how to do it..
i would really like to plessure my boyfriend and be plessured by him, but i get scared. if you have any ideas or anything i should try to overcome this fear of not doing it right or to loosen up and just relax it would be really appreciated !!!! thanks soo much ! (:

Dolphin gets an iPad
Merlin the dolphin is the first animal to get an iPad, and he's using it to teach humans about dolphin communication.
Wed, Jun 02, 2010 at 07:34 PM
Photo: Speak Dolphin
The fact that there is a dolphin using an iPad is perhaps less amazing than the surprise that Apple's marketing department had nothing to do with it. Yes, Merlin the dolphin has an iPad, and he and his trainer are using it to better understand each other's communication patterns. If successful, the Apple gadget may help break the dolphin-human language barrier.
Ever since the debut of the iPad, there have a plethora of cats, dogs, birds and mice playing with the Apple gadget. Though some, like the amazing cat Iggy, seem to demonstrate a level of self-awareness about the iPad, Merlin is the first mammal to use it as a learning tool.
The innovative program was the brainchild of dolphin researcher Jack Kassewitz of Speak Dolphin, an organization dedicated to unlocking the secrets of cetacean communication. Kassewitz explains:
The use of the iPad is part of our continuing search to find a suitable touchscreen technology which the dolphins can activate with the tip of their rostrums or beaks ... We think that once the dolphins get the hang of the touchscreen, we can let them choose from a wide assortment of symbols to represent objects, actions and even emotions.
The researchers have found a way to waterproof the iPad and are now using it to help Merlin — an animal that lives in Puerto Aventuras, Mexico — to make associations between physical objects and digital representations of those objects. The next step will be to layer in verbs and prepositions, making the dream of interactive communication with the brainiest animals on the planet a true possibility.

British welterweight champion Kell Brook will attempt to win a Lonsdale belt outright inside 12 months on May 22 at Bethnal Green's York Hall. Brook returns to the home of boxing to tackle former title-holder Young Mutley in front of the Sky television cameras. The Sheffield sensation, who is being tipped as a future world champion, has completed just seven full rounds in winning three British title fights by stoppage..
But Mutley is likely to prove his stiffest test yet, with the 32-year-old aiming to recapture the title he once held following victory over Michael Jennings in 2006.
The West Bromwich man has also challenged for the European and Commonwealth welterweight titles, and has a 26-3 (13) record.
"Mutley is definitely a hard fight for me," said Brook, who will go down as one of the youngest and quickest "outright" winners of a Lonsdale belt in history if he wins on May 22.
"It's a step in the right direction, especially as I want to be fighting for bigger belts by the end of the year.
"I know I've got the potential to become a world champion, but at the moment all I'm concentrating on is my next fight against Mutley.
"When I turned professional, my first ambition was to win a British title, then when I did that I said to myself I wanted a Lonsdale belt outright.
"Next on my agenda will be cleaning up domestically, getting the Commonwealth and European titles, and then moving on to the world scene."
The 22-year-old has already beaten Barrie Jones (TKO7), Kenny Anderson (TKO1) and Elwell (TKO2) in British title defences.
Overall, he has a 19-0 (12) record and is one of the country's hottest prospects.
"I'm not surprised that Kell is fighting for a Lonsdale belt outright so soon," said promoter Frank Warren.
"He is an exceptional talent and one of the best young boxers in the country.
"At the moment, he's knocking over who ever we put in front of him."
An action-packed undercard includes the return of British super-featherweight champion Kevin Mitchell, who features in an eight rounder, as well as heavyweight prospect Derek Chisora, Vinny Mitchell and the Walsh Brothers
Tickets, priced at £30 and £50, are available from the Frank Warren Box Office on 01992 550 888 and Ticketmaster on 0844 847 2500.
Solid Undercard Supports Booth vs. Moran April 17
An intriguing mix of undercard bouts supports Frank Maloney Promotion's main event of Jason Booth vs. Mark Moran for the British super bantamweight title this Friday, April 17 at the Indoor Sports Centre in Leigh, England.
Carl "Dynamite" Dilks, 10-1 (4), is coming off a strong showing during the light heavyweight Prizefighter tournament in February and the Liverpool man is looking to get back on the winning track against crosstown rival Joe Ainscough, 6-2-1 (0), over six scheduled rounds.
Martin Murray, 13-0 (4), of St. Helens, who won the Prizefighter middleweight tournament last November, and Leicester's Kevin Concepcion, 14-1 (3), swap punches in what could turn out to be the most contentious bout on the bill.
Towering 19 year old light middleweight Jack Arnfield, 9-0 (3), has yet to lose a round in his young pro career but the Blackpool teenager could lose that distinction when he meets cagey Portsmouth southpaw Paul Morby, 5-2 (0), who is coming off a razor-thin points loss to Chas Symonds last June.
Another rangy 19 year old, light welter Tyrone Nurse, 6-0 (0), is on the bill as the Huddersfield boxer is set for a four rounder against durable London southpaw Johnny Greaves, 1-30 (1).
Former British bantamweight champion Martin Power, 19-4 (8), has faced the most difficult schedule of any bantam in the UK over the last three years and the Camden Town based stylist hopes to reverse a four bout losing streak on Friday, when he meets an opponent yet to be determined.
Red-hot flyweight Usman Ahmed, 4-1-1 (0), of Derby puts his four bout win streak on the line when he clashes with Middlesbrough scrapper Francis Croes, 0-2 (0), set for six rounds while lanky Manchester light welter Karl Place, 4-0 (1), steps up against flashy Nottingham man Jamie Spence, 5-2 (2).
Popular Liverpool flyweight Paul Edwards, 3-0 (0), squares off with Bulgarian import Itsko Veselinov, 1-2 (1), while light middle Nick Quigley, 1-0 (0), faces pro debutante William Warburton over four frames.
Frank Maloney Promotions presents the Super Bantamweight Championship of Britain between Mark Moran and Jason Booth along with full undercard support at the Indoor Sports Centre in Leigh, England on Friday, April 17, 2009.
Tickets, priced at £70 for Ringside and £35 General Admission, are available by logging onto www.frankmaloney.com or by calling the Box Office at 0871 226 1508.
Sky Sports will televise the action live on SS1 at 10PM.

Hello? -ello, -llo, -lo, -o *echoes*
I've been absent waaaay too long. Since May? Things have happened. I got my teacher's qualification degree from my French uni, I've moved to Hong Kong, moved into a new apartment with bf, and am now working. And any free time I get I just waste on manga and anime OTL;; (mostly manga). I also plan on getting a British teacher's qualification (and then no more!).
BUT! Due to some very nice encouragement from a friend, I've decided to pick up where I left off and finish my goddamn story. *motivated* I've already outlined most of the next chapter and I know where the rest is headed, all I need to do now is put it all on paper. I'm very excited to write out a very emotional scene for my characters that will be the final climax of the story. Though I wonder if everyone has forgotten this story haha
It hasn't all been manga, though, hehe. Right now I'm reading two novels: John Dies at the End by David Wong, and The World According to Garp by John Irving.

Did Republicans or Democrats running for Congress in the recent elections say, "Vote for me and I'll support global trade agreements that undermine jobs, wage levels, and environmental standards at home and abroad?"
Of course not. They knew they would be voted out if they ran on that platform.
Yet, Republican leaders and President Obama are saying after the election that they want to join together to pass a Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement with 11 other countries, along with so-called "fast track" authority that would let them ram it through.
TPP would be a massive agreement sought by Wall Street, the drug and chemical industries, and other huge corporations. It has two basic purposes:
So far the countries negotiating TPP include not only the U.S. but also such low-wage havens as Brunei, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore, and Vietnam. The U.S. lead negotiator says the goal is to eventually include China as well.
The TPP is being negotiated in secret, except that more than 600 official corporate "trade advisors" have been given special access to help determine the final text.
Corporate officials now want Congress to pass "fast track" authority that would allow U.S. negotiators to present this secret deal for one up-or-down vote with no chance for the public to question specific provisions or for Congress to mandate amendments.
Together, labor, environmental, and community groups defeated fast track authority when Republicans and President Clinton tried to pass it in 1997, and we can defeat it again now.
Call the Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and tell your U.S. Senators and member of the U.S. House of Representatives to oppose fast track authority and the TPP.
Tell them that international agreements should be designed to improve worker and environmental protections around the world, not to bring them down to the lowest level for the benefit of corporate special interests.

Call Governor Christie at (609) 292-6000 and tell him attending school shouldn't make our children sick! It's time the Schools Development Authority (SDA) takes action to repair and modernize our schools. Download action flyer.
Under the Christie administration, school repairs, renovations and construction in the 31 designated high-priority districts have stalled, slowed and in some cases stopped, leaving students, educators and school staff to endure terrible conditions on a daily basis.
Healthy Schools Now, along with 43 organizations, including WEC, representing parents, school employees, students and other healthy schools advocates delivered a letter to Governor Christie asking him to take immediate action regarding the unsafe and poor conditions of our public schools and requesting repairs be made during the summer months.
To date, the Governor has not responded and urgent repairs remain incomplete.
Sample Message: I am a (parent/educator/resident) from (name of school & city) calling to express my disappointment with the lack of SDA action to repair and modernize our schools. Also share:

April 11, 2013 - On March 21st, the NJ State Appellate Court ruled to allow the NJ Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to issue waivers of important environmental and worker protections. THEY GOT IT WRONG!
But, our Legislators can still override the rule to ensure safeguards that will protect our environment and workplaces.
The DEP's waiver rule sets up a process to let wealthy corporations and individuals simply ignore the law. That's why twenty-eight labor and environmental organizations, including WEC, filed a lawsuit to block the DEP waiver rule.
Governor Christie's Executive Order #2 mandated every state agency to create waivers that would essentially allow them to deregulate themselves. The first agency to enact a waiver rule was the Department of Environmental Protection.
We need our Legislators to uphold safeguards that protect workers, communities, and the environment. Tell your Legislators to override the DEP waiver rule and all future waiver rules.
Sign a petition to save our safeguards now!
We, the undersigned, call on all NJ legislators to stand up for our families and communities and...
March 14, 2013 - Please help draw the line on wealthy corporations that risk our health and safety to squeeze even more profit.
Phillips 66 (formerly ConocoPhillips) is cutting firefighting personnel, training, and equipment that protect against the risk of fire and explosion at their massive Bayway refinery in Linden, NJ.
Phillips 66 had fourth-quarter profits from refining and marketing of $1 billion - five times higher than the previous year. It increased by 25% the dividends it pays to shareholders like Warren Buffett (the second richest man in the United States).
The refinery is right in the middle of a highly populated metropolitan area with airports, ports, and low income residential areas. You've no doubt been inside the refinery boundaries, since the NJ Turnpike runs through it.
The refinery produces petroleum products like gasoline that are extremely flammable. Effective fire protection is essential for both workers and surrounding neighborhoods.
Please sign and circulate the petition developed by Teamsters Local 877, which represents the Phillips 66 workers.
Phillips 66 executives are cutting the Fire Department at Bayway Refinery by 40%, eliminating firefighting training for the rescue squad, eliminating key personnel who keep the refinery running safely, refusing to repair bridges needed for firefighter access, and more.
These are the types of cuts that start refineries down the road to disaster. In a recent two-year period, there were at least 80 fires at 59 U.S. refineries. Last August, more than 14,600 people went to the hospital after a massive refinery fire in Richmond, California. U.S. refineries sustain losses from accidents at four times the rate of their counterparts in other countries, in part because of "pushing the operating envelope" and flaws in safety.
Meanwhile, Phillips 66 is "awash in cash" (according to Bloomberg News), as the difference between what refiners pay for crude oil and then charge for refined fuel has doubled in the past year and is the highest since 2005. Phillips 66 CEO, Greg Garland, makes more than $6 million per year - or nearly $3,000 an hour.
August 1, 2012 - Governor Christie is putting corporate special interests and his big campaign contributors ahead of the public interest. He has ordered all state agencies to issue rules to waive the safeguards they are supposed to enforce. These safeguards protect our health and safety at work; our air, water, and open spaces; and our rights as consumers.
Christie's political appointees will be able to let any chemical, oil, banking, insurance, drug, or development company violate our safeguards if they think it creates "an undue hardship."
We need to stop this policy in its tracks by getting the State Legislature to block the first agency's waiver rule.
1. Sign our petition to stop Governor Christie from waiving our safeguards!
2. Volunteer with NJ WEC to get more people to sign the petition or start your own petition drive by downloading the petition and flyer.

And I would hope he had loving family and friends who will deeply miss him. With that being said I watched a show last night that was originally aired on the I think 20th anniversary of the riots. They interviewed LAPD, reporters, rioters, Korean shop keepers, and regular citizens of LA that were there and impacted during the riots. It struck me that most if not all of the rioters that were interviewed had absolutely no remorse and most indicated given an opportunity they would again "Go get theirs, & hurt anyone who was not black." Scary stuff I have many friends from many different races/colors, I am in a "mixed" marriage therefore have biracial children and I know no one who has this philosophy toward life. Scares me the thought process of people on both ends of this.

The Devon region
Sidmouth is one of the most attractive seaside towns on the East Devon 'Jurassic' Coast.
The town nestles in the picturesque Sid Valley, lying between Salcombe and Peak Hills, each rising to 500 ft. The narrow, short valley ensures that SIdmouth is sheltered from extreme weather and is often a couple of degrees warmer than surrounding areas.
Nature has endowed Sidmouth with many attractive features including beautiful sandy and shingle beaches, tall red cliffs and wooded hillsides. There are many walks through these attractions which can be started directly from the apartment. These include the coastal footpath, running towards Branscombe to the east and Ladram Bay to the West.
Sidmouth town itself is unique in terms of its lack of commercialisation and modern developments close to the town centre. Essentially it is little changed from a century ago yet boasts a wide variety of unusual and tasteful shops. There are a number of fine restaurants and bars in the small town centre, all which are a level walk from the apartment.
Another feature of the town are the attractive green areas and gardens adjacent to the town centre and Esplanade. The main ones being Connaught and Blackmore Gardens and the 'Byes' riverside walk.
Other amenities and attractions, within a very short walk, include the parish church, bus terminus, library and health centre plus a wide variety of sports pitches and greens.
Supermarkets, bakers, butchers greengrocers and chemists are all an easy walk away. In fact many of our guests park up when they arrive and don't touch their car until they leave at the end of their holiday!
Both owners were born and brought up in Sidmouth and are very happy to provide guidance and information to potential visitors.

"Excellent in every way"
It was our first visit to Sidmouth and we were delighted with the accommodation at Sidview. The apartment was spotless and had everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The position was excellent too being only yards from the seafront, shops, bars and restaurants.

Fritz, that D908RR is a costly bugger. And looking at the tread, it's a bit more of a street tire than I like for propelling me over the stuff here. But if I were doing asphalt, gravel, and light trail, it would look like a winner
Yeah it is, but it last twice as long as most other tires. Factor in the mount and balance cost and the time to do it and the 908 comes out ahead cost wise.
Of course a super soft is going to be the best traction and least wear but you will find the 908 an excellent off road tire, especially in lose soils. The wide " Chevy " logo center tread paddles these soils well and takes a lot of street wear. I ran this tire in Colorado over mostly rock for a week and not a nick on it. It grabs wet rock well too.
After a brief trial of the Metzler offerings I've installed a set of Michelin Desert Race on my XRL. Wow, what a dream ride and the handling is phenomenal. Wear is to be determined. Note the Unicross front lasted much longer than the Karoo rear.

If prime Nadal and prime Sampras had played . . . .
11 matches on clay, 3 on grass, and 6 on hardcourts (as Federer and Nadal have so far), what would their H2H be? Serious question, no trolling intended, and no this isn't a parody of GSF thread . . . . although he/she gave me the idea for the thread.
Nadal would take all 11 on clay. Including many 6-0 sets.
Sampras would take all on grass. But Nadal would win sets.
They would split the hardcourts depending onwhat type of hardcourt.
So the final tally would be 14-6 Nadal.
10-1 Clay to Nadal, depending upon 3 or 5 set. (Sampras would have a better chance @ 3-Set)
3-0 Grass to Sampras. (Sampras's offense was just too fast. )
4-2 Hardcourts to Sampras, depending upon slow or fast HC. (Nadal's worst surface is hard, and Sampras was historically quite good on Hard. Hardcourts don't give Nadal as much time to set up, and Nadal doesn't seem to have as good a feel for hard, nor does he return very well on the surface. Sampras would be able to attack off both his serves. I think that Offense > Defense on most surfaces, and Nadal is primarily a defensive player.)
So it seems overall, according to my analysis.. assuming these surfaces, Nadal would lead that H2H at 12-8.
What kind of grass? Nadal might sneak one out on today's.
Don't take for granted Nadal would necessarily beat Pete everytime on clay. Pete's real problem on clay was stamina due to his blood condition, not lack of ability to play on clay; he could beat any given clay courter if he had to as he showed in Davis Cup vs Russia when they laid out a super slow clay court just for him, it's just that he couldn't play 5 setters on clay every match for 7 matches as somebody like Muster could.
Actually, if Nadal were playing back then, he and Pete wouldn't have met very often on either clay or grass at all. On clay, Pete would have been knocked out too soon; grass, Nadal would have been bombed off court in an early round by any one of the big servers.
11-0 Clay to Nadal. Sampras would have no chance against Nadal on this surface, he would had done very well getting thus far to even face Nadal on clay but no he would not win any clay matches against Rafa. He would be aiming to not get bagelled repeatedly if anything.
2-1 Grass to Sampras. (On todays grass it could be Nadal 2-1, being the best returner and capable of an aggressive all court game. But I give it to Sampras for his serve)
3-3 Hardcourts even. depending upon slow or fast HC. Nadal takes all slow hardcourt meetings, and Sampras was historically quite good on fast Hard. Fast hardcourts don't give Nadal as much time to set up but he does return very well on both fast and slow HC.
Overall Nadal takes it 16-4.
Hardcourt split is awfully harsh to Sampras IMO. Sampras is a top 3-4 fast court player of all time, plus he would be a big matchup issue for Nadal. Sampras was also no slouch on slow HC, won the AO twice and Miami 3 times. Sampras is IMO better on any hardcourt, fast, slow, medium, you name it.
Overall I think it would be
Clay - 11-0 Nadal
HC - (3 fast HC meetings and 3 slow) 5-1 Sampras
Todays Grass - 2-1 Sampras
So 13-7 . . . . . :lol:
It's a simple exercise, no intentions of baiting. Just asking for opinions because I'm genuinely curious as to what people think. And seeing as Sampras fans often bring up Federer's h2h against Nadal as one of his detractors, I'm curious to see what they think as well.
I don't see you commenting on the 'You vs. Federer', 'Best composite all time player', or 'Weird H2H' threads. Those threads are fairly light-hearted and pretty pointless by nature as well.
It seems that this particular topic strikes a nerve with you.
I'm pretty sure should this thread last long especially with ***********s posting, it will be another my era vs your era bullcrap.
I think we should agree to disagree anyway.
13-7 Nadal.
Based on Sampras' struggle against Bruguera:
11 - 0 on clay
0 - 3 on 90s grass
4 - 2 on harcourt
15 - 5 Nadal
Prime (thus far) Nadal vs. Prime Sampras (assuming today's surfaces)
**Note that Nadal may very well improve, or he may decline. I tend to think he'll improve in the years ahead.
Grass-Sampras in 6-7 out of 10
Hard-Sampras 7 out of 10
Faster Indoor-Sampras 7 out of 10
Rebound Ace-Nadal 6-7 out of 10
Clay-Nadal 10 of 10
Sampras Advantages-Serve, forehand, net play.
Sampras Weaknesses-Stamina, slower surfaces, high backhands potentially, and long rallies in general.
Nadal Advantages-Consistency, groundstrokes (esp. passing shots), footspeed, and stamina.
Nadal Weaknesses-Return of serve, esp. on fast surfaces if he cannot return close enough to the baseline, hard courts.
Nadal would own Sampras every time they played on clay. And Sampras would own Nadal on carpet courts every time they played. On old grass, Sampras would have a great edge, e.g. 7-3 in 10 matches. On new grass, they'd probably be about even. On slow hardcourts, Nadal would have a pretty good advantage and on fast hardcourts, it would be Sampras with the edge.
11-0 Nadal on clay
3-0 Sampras on grass
4-2 for Sampras on hard courts
13-7 for Nadal. Just like his h2h against Federer
only on clay mate'...ust clay.
I agree with mandy. This is just gonna incite more pointless era debates, something GSF and others love....imaginary matches are pointless, IMO.

SMUSD works to curb traffic before it starts
SAN MARCOS -- When Mission Hills High School opens its doors next year, drivers shouldn't have to worry about facing the same traffic nightmares that have plagued its older counterpart across town.
"The layouts are completely different," said Mission Hills Principal Brad Lichtman. "San Marcos High School only has one entrance to the entire school."
Mission Hills High School, which will become the new alma mater for about 1,500 San Marcos High School students, will have four entrances, convenient drop-off lanes and will be bordered by six-lane Mission Road.
The only entrance into San Marcos High School is off San Marcos Boulevard, the city's busiest road, and is also next to the city's busiest intersection at Rancho Santa Fe Road.
A look at the numbers tells the story even better.
On an average weekday in 2002, about 15,700 cars traveled Mission Road from Mulberry Drive to Woodland Parkway, the area where Mission Hills High School is being built, city figures show. In contrast, 44,000 drivers used San Marcos Boulevard from Rancho Santa Fe Road to Discovery Street in front of San Marcos High School during the same time period.
In addition to its less-traveled location, $1.6 million of the new school's $53 million price tag will go toward traffic signals, road work and other off-site improvements, said Thom Clark, the director of facilities for the San Marcos Unified School District. The 12-week project to install the signals, tear up a center median to provide access into the school and finish the road work should be finished by the end of the month.
Among the changes: Richland Road, which now dead-ends before Mission Road, will be extended to Mission and dead-end just past the staff parking lot. Staff members will be able to drive into their parking lot from Richland Road.
There will be two entrances off Mission Road to the 400-space student parking lot, with a traffic signal at the western entrance. That signal will be immediately across from the former Liberty Recycling Center. A number of businesses owned by the de Jong family are relocating to the site and the family is installing another traffic signal just west of the recycling site at another de Jong business to keep traffic flowing.
But aside from road work on the de Jong property, the Richland neighborhood that surrounds the new high school is not expected to change much, said Charlie Schaffer, the San Marcos development services director. Two nearby developments will add around 200 homes that will contribute some traffic to the area, which is made up of mostly older single-family homes and industrial businesses. One of the developments is on Mulberry, the other is at Mulberry Drive and Rose Ranch Road.
For the most part the area is built-out and Mission Road is expected to be able to handle traffic from the smaller projects planned as well as the high school.
A traffic signal will also be built at Mission Hills Court, a road that will loop behind the Hollandia Dairy and past a church and park planned nearby. The land for the school, park and church are all on land once owned by the dairy.

Any views expressed in this article are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters Foundation.Inter Press Service By Jillian Kestler-D'Amours* RAMALLAH, Feb 22, 2012 (IPS) - Nisreen Awwad moves closer to the microphone as she signs off to her listeners, the words "Nisaa FM: music, change, success" displayed prominently over her left shoulder. "The thing I love (most) in my programme is when I interview simple women from the villages, because they are successful and (are doing) something different in their society," the 31-year-old radio producer, a native of the Qalandiya refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, tells IPS. Host of the daily morning show on Nisaa (Women in Arabic) FM, Awwad explains that positively influencing the roles women play in Palestinian society, and changing the way Palestinian women view themselves, is what she strives for. "I got involved here because I believe in the message of the radio station, and I wanted to make (a difference for) women in our society. Nisaa FM, I think, it's something different," Awwad said. "I like how my work in Nisaa FM makes me involved more in women's issues." Launched in June 2010, Nisaa FM is an almost entirely female-run Palestinian radio station based in Ramallah, West Bank and the only radio station in the Middle East devoted solely to women's issues. Its director Maysoun Odeh Gangat says that the station aims to inform, inspire and empower local women. "Through the positive role that the women are playing in the society that we portray, we believe that we can empower women economically and then socially and politically. It could be any woman from the rural areas or the refugee camp, or a woman parliamentarian or minister," Gangat told IPS. In addition to suffering from a myriad of human rights abuses stemming from Israel's occupation of the West Bank and siege of Gaza, Palestinian women face challenges from within their own society. According to a 2009 report released by the Palestinian Women's Information and Media Centre (PWIC) in Gaza, 77 percent of the women in Gaza had experienced some form of violence; 53 percent had been exposed to physical violence and 15 percent to sexual abuse. In 2008, the Ramallah-based Arab World for Research and Development (AWRD) research centre found that 74 percent of survey respondents did not know of any organisation working on women's rights. Some 77 percent of respondents also said that they supported enacting laws to protect women from domestic violence. "This is a patriarchal society. This is a male-dominated society, so the change should come by addressing males, as well," Gangat said, explaining that engaging Palestinian men on women's issues is important to the station. She added that talking about difficult issues – such as polygamy, divorce, abuse, early marriage, and poverty – and the ways in which women can assert their rights in these areas, is necessary for change to occur. "Women were inspired by the fact that we bring some people or experts on issues that are contentious and negative. We've had some women calling and asking us, 'Which organisation did you interview?'" Gangat said. With hundreds of permanent and flying Israeli checkpoints throughout the West Bank, and with the Gaza Strip almost entirely sealed off, Palestinians are forced to deal with restrictions on their freedom of movement every day. This difficult reality, combined with social and economic limitations within Palestinian society itself, makes radio stations like Nisaa that much more important, Gangat said. "Radio can be accessible to all women in remote areas and it's a very cheap and simple medium. I believe when women talk about their experiences in the Gaza Strip, they can pass it on to the women sitting in the West Bank, and vice versa," she explained. "Nisaa FM connects them together. Through the airwaves, we connect them together and they have a voice, a platform, which they can share and they can talk about their experiences." Today, the station's impact is starting to be felt on the ground. "(We) have been receiving hundreds of calls from workers who ask for clarifications about their rights after hearing the discussion on the radio," wrote U'nwan Al-A'amel ("The Worker's Address"), a Jenin-based organisation that protects Palestinian workers' rights, in a press release. "This only shows the great efficiency of media, and the speed and ease it offers in delivering information to a targeted group," said the press release published in the Al Quds newspaper earlier this month. In recent months, U'nwan Al-A'amel representatives have been invited to discuss issues related to workers' rights under Israeli laws during Nisaa FM's morning show. "The working women in the agricultural branch in the Jordan Valley have also started to organise in groups and create committees that care to defend their usurped rights," the group's statement continued. Presently, Nisaa broadcasts online and can be heard on the radio in the northern West Bank, Ramallah and Bethlehem. Finding a frequency to reach Hebron, the rest of the southern West Bank and the Gaza Strip, is the station's next priority. In the meantime, however, morning show host Awwad said the main focus remains changing local perceptions, and breaking through gender-based stereotypes in Palestinian society. "Every day I interview unique and successful women. (In) the feedback, we always hear something nice, something different. We always hear, 'Oh my God. You talk about these women... where (did) you find them?'" Awwad told IPS. "Most of the time (women) are strong, (and) they can make the change. That's what I hope." *This story was produced with the support of UNESCO Read the original story here

I think I've encountered that in other areas, not just insurance. I strongly suspect that in many areas of business, the default answer is often "no," in hopes that a certain percentage of people won't take it any further than that. And they probably know what the percentage is, and that probably figures into their financial planning.
[Totally off topic, but that reminds me of my dad telling me about having dinner with an executive from a phone company. My dad asked him what percentage of pre-paid phone cards were never used, thereby giving the phone company a huge profit margin on those cards, and the phone guy wouldn't even acknowledge that my dad had asked the question. Again, I strongly suspect that the phone company knows precisely what percentage of phone cards will never be used.]

Niels Peter Nielsen
Niels Peter is the son of Niels Peter and Ane Margrethe Nielsen. He is born in the parish of Hune, Denmark, but because the family is Mormon no birth is recorded. Scandinavian Mission Records lists his age as 3.5 years. He traveled with his parents in the ship Emerald Isle in 1868. He is listed as "child" in Holman's list of passengers.
John G. Holman Company (1868)Approximate age at departure: 3
