This policy provides guidance on the eligibility of labor costs for an applicant's permanent, temporary, and contract employees who perform emergency work under Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), 42 U.S.C. 5121-5206, as amended.This policy applies to all emergencies, major disasters, and fire management assistance declarations, declared on or after the publication date of this document.
TITLE: Labor Costs - Emergency Work
DATE: November 16, 2006
PURPOSE: Provide guidance on the eligibility of labor costs for an applicant's permanent, temporary, and contract employees who perform emergency work under Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), 42 U.S.C. 5121-5206, as amended.
SCOPE AND AUDIENCE: This policy applies to all emergencies, major disasters, and fire management assistance declarations, declared on or after the publication date of this document.
AUTHORITY: Sections 403, 407, 420 and 502 of the Stafford Act and 44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §204.42, §206.224 and §206.225.
On October 14, 1993, FEMA published a regulation that made the force account labor straight-time salary for work under Section 403 and 407 ineligible under the Public Assistance Program. The 1993 regulation did not include emergency work accomplished under Section 502 (Federal Emergency Assistance) of the Stafford Act. The ineligibility of straight-time salaries for emergency work under Section 502 is included as a provision of the FEMA-State Agreement.
Labor (straight-time, overtime, and fringe benefits to the extent the benefits were being paid before the disaster) performed under Section 406 (permanent work) of the Stafford Act remains eligible for reimbursement.
Under Sections 403, 407, and 502 of the Stafford Act, eligible emergency work labor costs are those costs incurred by an eligible applicant while performing eligible work. The cost of straight-time salaries and benefits of an applicant's permanently employed personnel is not eligible in calculating the cost of eligible emergency work. The FEMA-State Agreement will stipulate the ineligibility of straight-time salaries and benefits of an applicant's permanently employed personnel performing emergency work (Categories A and B). For the purpose of this policy, "permanently employed personnel" will refer to those employees whose positions are already included in the applicant's budget.
Fixed-term employees, such as seasonally employed personnel, when covered under existing budgets and used for a disaster during the season of employment, are considered permanently employed for the purpose of cost eligibility.
Straight-time and overtime will be determined in accordance with the applicant's pre-disaster policies, which should be applied consistently in both disaster and non-disaster situations. For example, one applicant may define labor exceeding 8 hours a day as overtime, while another might define labor exceeding 40 hours a week as overtime. However, all costs, including premium pay, must be reasonable and equitable for the type of work being performed.
The actual costs of salaries and benefits for individuals sent home or told not to report due to emergency conditions are not eligible for reimbursement. Extraordinary costs for essential employees who are called back to duty during administrative leave to perform disaster-related emergency work are eligible if the costs were provided for in written policy prior to the disaster.
The costs for contract labor, mutual aid in accordance with an existing agreement, or temporary hires needed to accomplish emergency work are eligible for reimbursement. However, straight-time salary and benefits of force account labor overseeing contractors performing emergency work are not eligible in calculating the cost of eligible emergency work.
The reimbursement of force account or temporary labor to backfill regular staff who are performing eligible emergency work may be eligible. Backfill cost is defined as the straight-time salary and benefits and overtime of replacement personnel who perform the regular duties of other personnel while they are performing eligible emergency work under the Public Assistance Program. There are several circumstances which affect the eligibility of the backfill employee.
If the backfill employee is a contract or extra hire, the cost of this extra person represents an extra cost to the applicant. Regular and overtime are eligible. If the employee is permanently employed, straight time is not eligible. Only overtime costs are eligible.
The cost of straight-time salaries and benefits of an applicant's permanently employed personnel, of any department, regardless of any inter-departmental agreements, are not eligible.
If the backfill employee is a regular employee who is called in on his/her day off (weekend or other off day), there may be an extra cost to the applicant. Regular and overtime costs may be eligible.
If the backfill employee is called in from scheduled leave, there should be no extra cost as the leave can be rescheduled. Only the overtime is eligible.
Generally, exempt employees (i.e. those who are exempt from minimum wage and overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act) are not eligible for overtime, unless specified in an applicant's pre-disaster policy.
Permanent employees who are funded from an external source (e.g., by a grant from a Federal agency, statutorily dedicated funds, rate-payers, etc.) to work on specific non-disaster tasks may be paid for emergency work. However, the FEMA Region is to consult with FEMA headquarters before approving payment.
Reimbursement of labor costs for employees performing emergency work is limited to actual time worked, even when the applicant is contractually obligated to pay for 24 hour shifts. It is not reasonable for a person to work more than 48 hours continuously without an extended rest period. Therefore, FEMA will reimburse up to 24 hours for each of the first two days, and up to 16 hours for each of the following days for emergency work. All requested hours must be for actual time worked. Standby time is not eligible under the Public Assistance Program or Fire Management Assistance Grant Program. Pre-positioning under the Fire Management Assistance Grant Program is eligible if the resources were actually used to suppress a declared fire.
The value of volunteers accomplishing eligible emergency work can be credited toward the non-Federal cost share of the applicant's emergency work in accordance with Donated Resources Policy #9525.2.
ORIGINATING OFFICE: Recovery Division (Public Assistance Branch)
SUPERSESSION: This policy updates and replaces all relevant provisions of previous Public Assistance policy documents or guidance on this subject.
REVIEW DATE: Three years from date of publication.

Terror cells are "active" in India, a senior Israeli minister has said, underlining that the recent attack on a diplomat in New Delhi should spur the two nations to step up counter-terrorism cooperation.
"The incident (attack on an Israeli diplomat in Delhi on Monday) makes it clear that there are terrorist cells in India. They have targeted recently us but in the past they have also targeted Indian citizens and others. What one can see here is a growing joint interest of India and Israel, who are both exposed to terror threats", Israel's Minister for Energy and Water Resources, Uzi Landau, told PTI ahead of his three day trip to India next week.
Mr. Landau had earlier served as Public Security minister.
Mr. Landau's comment came as the Israeli Foreign Ministry said it had stepped up security for its diplomats posted overseas. Ministry's spokesman said that Tel Aviv is taking "whatever measures required" to allow the diplomats to function.
He declined to outline the steps, but the media reported that Israeli diplomats in some countries had been ordered to work out of their homes and avoid travel to the local embassy.
The Israeli Cabinet minister's visit will come days after the terror attack in the Indian capital in which for the first time the magnetic bombs were used. His tour to India will follow a visit of a high level Israeli security team.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Anaelien from My old curler broke... I got a new one at Walgreens with these new pads on them. The first time I used it, the pad split and ripped out some of my eyelashes. I tried the old silicone pad from my broken curler on the new one, but the fit wasn't quite right and it fell out. I would LOVE it if you would go back to the old pads!! My old curler worked great until the plastic handle broke off. Be wary when you try these! You may lose some lashes!

Rated 1 out of 5 by SarahKate from waste of a shipment ive been looking for replacement pads for my eyelash curler and saw them on here and bought them. They didn't fit in my current eyelash curler.... a little disappointed.

Rated 1 out of 5 by ChristyBee from Flimsy... I'll admit, I have not used these with an e.l.f. eyelash curler, but I seriously got about two uses out of each one of these before the surface was deeply split by the top part of the curler. You can't beat the price, and I'm not too upset because I'm only out a dollar, but I am disappointed in these. At least I had the thought to flip them over and get about two more uses out of them...

Rated 1 out of 5 by redhendrix from disappointed when i finally found a curler these worked with because they didn't fit in my favourite one they split on their first use! maybe they work better with the elf curler but i'm not going purchase one just to find out.this truly is a case of you get what you pay for.

Rated 1 out of 5 by paxx from Hey ELF, These Pads Need Improvement! I have the original eyelash curler which is genius, but the replacement pads are a joke! Come on ELF, most of us would be willing to pay $1.00 for TWO if they were good quality and lasted longer than a week before the begin to develop a grove that your lashes get stuck in and pull them out!?

Rated 5 out of 5 by Smolzy from I hope elf bring back essential eyelash curler ?I totally agree with everyone who say that?ESSENTIAL curler is the best! Not just for price but for the job it does!!!! ?I did buy two but I think by the time I will have to replace rubber may become to hard ( because every pad last me for a year or so). Will see!!! But I will love to have back up for the ?actual eyelash curler.?

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bizbuz from The Elf eyelash curler is the best! I wish there was a way I could review the eyelash curler that I bought these refills for, because it is amazing! And what a fantastic value! I highly recommend the Elf eyelash curler.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ohyeathat from Perfect I picked ?these up because of the price. ?They fit my curler perfectly. I am going to get more so I won't run out anytime soon.?

The reverse design for the ten dollar gold piece was modified in 1797, with the BD-1 variety featuring the old Small Eagle design, while the other three varieties display the Heraldic Eagle motif. The present coin represents the scarce BD-4 die marriage, with a long thick neck on the eagle, and an irregular cross pattern on the reverse stars. The reported mintage for the Heraldic Eagle type was 10,940 pieces, and the BD-4 variety probably accounted for 3,500-5,000 examples of this total. John Dannreuther estimates a surviving population of 90-110 pieces in all grades.

Replacement of the water valve repair was a snap. Only the main supply line needed to use a nut to secure the water supply. All other lines were simply cut below the pointed end of the plastic tubing line, nylon nut discarded and simply pushed in to seat with a O-ring fitting. Took no more than 10 minutes to install the new valve and test for leaks after turning water back on. This was the easiest appliance repair I have done in > 5 years, 100% success first time,

Police Chief Urges Toronto Mayor To Get A Driver
By editor
Good morning. I'm David Greene. We all know texting while driving can be dangerous, and in Ontario, it is illegal. But apparently, you can read while driving. So, technically, Toronto's Mayor Tom Ford was not breaking the law as he checked out a stack of papers while driving on an expressway. A Twitter user snapped a photo of the mayor. Ford said he drives safely as he catches up on work. As the mayor put it: I'm a busy man. Toronto's police chief urged the mayor to get a driver. You're listening to MORNING EDITION.

Titans select Nevada CB Wooten in sixth round
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP)
The Tennessee Titans have selected Nevada cornerback Khalid Wooten in the sixth round of the NFL draft.
Wooten, the 202nd overall pick, is the second cornerback the Titans have added in this draft. The Titans took Connecticut's Blidi Wreh-Wilson in the third round Friday.
Both of the Titans' new cornerbacks have plenty of size. Wreh-Wilson is over 6 feet tall. Wooten is 5-11 and 205 pounds.
Wooten, 5-foot-11 and 205 pounds, recorded 10 career interceptions at Nevada and returned two of them for touchdowns. The former high school quarterback also returned kickoffs and punts at Nevada.
Earlier in the day, the Titans selected California guard/center Brian Schwenke in the fourth round and LSU defensive end Lavar Edwards in the fifth round.

From director Steven Spielberg comes War Horse, an epic adventure for audiences of all ages. Set against a sweeping canvas of rural England and Europe during the First World War, War Horse begins with the remarkable friendship between a horse named Joey and a young man called Albert, who tames and trains him. When they are forcefully parted, the film follows the extraordinary journey of the horse as he moves through the war, changing and inspiring the lives of all those he meets - British cavalry, German soldiers, and a French farmer and his granddaughter - before the story reaches its emotional climax in the heart of No Man's Land. The First World War is experienced through the journey of this horse - an odyssey of joy and sorrow, passionate friendship and high adventure. War Horse is one of the great stories of friendship and war - a successful book, it was turned into a hugely successful international theatrical hit that is arriving on Broadway next year.

The Magritte Factor
René Magritte (1898-1967), the Belgian pop-surrealist, will outlive the undertalented, over-hyped Andy Warhol (1927-1987) in my book. My sister Doreen always called him Andy Arsehole, and thought she was more worthy of the 15 minutes of fame for this remark than Warhol was for his pretentious 3-hour movie of a sleeping man. "Call me a Palestine [note 1]," she said, "but I dozed off after 10 seconds."
Warhol's cans of soup are merely "cans of soup" (limited shelf life?), whereas Magritte's equally realistic rendition of a briar pipe is teasingly titled "This is not a pipe". I've made a copy of this painting called "This is not a copy of `This is not a pipe"'--sure to win next year's Turner Prize. Space precludes a full, emetic account of the family visit to the London Tate Gallery in December, 1999. Suffice to say we all stood gazing at Exhibit A, the infamous "unmade bed", thinking, "Sh..., we used to dream of sleeping so bourgeois comfy."
The Magritte joke digs deeply into the serious anti-self-referential paradoxes that have threatened the very foundations of logic, mathematics, computer science, and all we hold dear [note 2]. The rash Cretan swore that "all Cretans are liars". Russell denied entry in the only club that would have had him as a member [note 3]. Gödel proved that "this proposition is unprovable". Turing asked, "Wanna wait 'til this program halts?" And the ever-elegant Chaitin says, "There's no elegant algorithm for establishing its elegance."
Briefly, in Chaitin's algorithmic information theory, a program is "elegant" if no smaller program written in the same programming language has the same output for a given input. Rush back to your methodologies, patterns, use-cases, UML flow charts, include files, class frameworks and source code (if any), you inelegant swine! Unless, of course, you are paid by LOC (lines of code).
Most busy humanist mathematicians, such as Lakatos, Hersh and myself, have other rent-paying grapes to fry.
For example, back in the real (sez who?) world, provably elegant Linux gathers momentum. For those who still ask how to pronounce "Linux", I checked with several IPO billionaires and was told "two short, equally stressed syllables as in Red Hat".
The latest Corel incarnation has just arrived in the largest-ever shrink-wrapped box! As a JOLT judge, my lips are sealed and incorruptible, but there's a growing number of Linux candidates in each year's list of nominations, and I have an intuitive urge to support Corel and its Linux-aware WordPerfect. As with the Academy Awards, the number of JOLT Award categories also increases, and we are close to having "Best Linux Spreadsheet by an Albanian Unijamb".
BUT a warning from www.acm.org/technews/articles/2000-2/0128f.html#item2:
"IBM Exec Touts Linux as Key to Net Evolution:
IBM has big plans for Linux, says IBM's Irving Wladawsky-Berger, the visionary who shaped IBM's e-business initiative and now leads the firm's Linux push. In an interview with CNet's Kim Girard, Wladawsky-Berger, who heads IBM's new Next Generation..."
Beware the well-intentioned Big Blue "Kiss of Death!" Especially when it comes from a "next-generation visionary". Remember OS/2, Taligent, OpenDoc and the emerging Java standards impasse.

So How can we do this?" This book contains real answers to that question. By learning how the mind works, we can understand how to break the cycles that keep us on the outside looking in, instead of where we truly wish to be.
This book will open your mind and your eyes to a world which has always been there; but to which you have not had access.
How often have we found ourselves thinking there is something lacking in our own lives? By Changing our Minds we remove the lack in our own lives. We remove the unnamed need that eats away at our day to day lives.
By Changing our Minds we walk away from a life that is constantly needing repairs and begin a life that rewrites our reality.
Whether we know it or not, our energies are focused and those energies are working in our lives, for better or worse. Like electricity, our own energies do not decide they will work in one area, and not another. Electricity doesn't stop working because the toaster is bad or the stereo is on a negative channel. Electricity flows through the circuit until it is complete. Our energies act in exactly the same way.
Change Your Mind, Change Your Life expands this simple life truth, and shows you how to change your circuit path so the things you want in your life receive the energy, rather than sending it to the things that are strapping you down.
Read Change Your Mind, Change Your Life today, and start putting focus and energy into your own success.

An apartment on Carter Road in Bandra. One room. Four twenty-something dna readers. Vani Iyer, her boyfriend Aurélien Brault, Mithun Purandare and his girlfriend, Steffi Natalya D'Souza, can hardly wait to find out this new seductive creativity. With the help of award-winning 25-year-old chef, Aseema Mamaji, dna played host to two couples who were more than just acquiescent to get their fingers and tongues dirty with some of Mamaji's edible paint.
Art is seemingly coveted. A little elusive. Rare with greatness somewhat encrypted in the masterpieces. These Westcoast residents' edible body 'paintings' might not exactly fit into the definition of 'greatness'. But they were not there to foster their creativity within those limited, pre-determined concepts of what is artful. They were just there to tickle their taste buds in a more hands-on manner. "The strawberry flavour is my favourite!" shares Brault in his broken English, while he paints on his model girlfriend's tattoo, smacking his lips at the pink-coloured paste. A 26-year-old actuary now in Mumbai for a year, the Frenchman is anything but the archetypal highbrow one would expect. An hour later, he had himself an entirely edible artistic knock-out on his partner's arm as she giggled away, patiently waiting for Aurélien to get it off her.
Mithun calmly awaits his turn as Steffi gets hold of her paint brushes. "Shiva's eye!" he blurts out when probed on what he would like painted on himself. This Bandra resident is a model and an actor, who recently completed a short film called Day Trip to London. The film had been nominated at the Nashik International Film Festival. Sitting back with a perfectly chiselled body, he is ready to get "down and dirty" he says with a smile, as Steffi smothers a blue blob of finger-licking paint–pun intended–on his chest. Smearing it all over, the duo laugh as they discuss their modelling contracts and their parallel lives, eating the colourful paints off each other.
Aseema sits back, revelling at the art-meets-food sight in front of her. "Paint my love," is the story behind the edible paints that she created for Valentine's Day, just a few months ago. "It was innovative enough to have couples want to buy it for their better halves and intimate as well!" she says, with a twinkle in her eye.
Story In A Jar
Aseema Mamaji is a Pali Hill resident, whose life steers clear from that quarter-life lull. A culinary arts student, a chef and the brain behind Story In A Jar, she now stands tall as the winner of restaurateur Rohini Dey's cook-off. Soon to fly off to Chicago for her $70,000 job at a reputed restaurant, Mamaji is not one to sit back with her arms crossed, waiting for life to pass her by. "I studied culinary arts and then worked at the Taj for three years, where I got to cook for presidents and entrepreneurs from parts of the world I did not even know existed. I decided to work on Story In A Jar to fill in that gap that exists in the world of customised food and desserts," she shares. The gist of it is relatively straightforward: fill in a form so Mamaji can get an insight into your life and have her prepare an entirely customised dessert or dish in a jar, entirely conceptualised through a story written by her and her sister. A far cry from the troglodyte-inferring meals, Mamaji makes cooking a culinary concept without compromise. The 25-year-old makes bashing pans, brutalising onions and adding chilli flakes without impunity an art. An art of delectable food.

All feds wind up buried in limestone mine
No matter what your rank or job is or where you work, in the end you will wind up buried in a limestone mine in a remote corner of Pennsylvania, Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says. And once you retire it could be a long time before you see your first full annuity payment. But things seem to be getting better.

It's always good to have inspiration.
Both the gardeners and their sprouts have something to drive them, now that a mural of oversized produce and flowers has taken over the supply shed near the Community Gardens at Central Park.
"It's almost like they are trying to blow up and come into the world," artist Alma Juarez explained. "I felt that people that go the garden should related to what they're going to see on the shed. What better way than to see the things they grow?"
Juarez, who is a member of The ARTree, designed the mural and is coordinating the cooperative effort with the Santa Clarita Artists' Association, represented by Production coordinator Laurie Finkelstein.
Volunteer artists from both groups have come in to help fill in the big sections of color, leaving the details to Juarez and Finkelstein.
The colorful creation features vegetables, fruits and flowers grown in California, including artichokes, cucumbers, oranges, eggplant, bell peppers, carrots, strawberries, lettuce, beets, sunflowers, and of course, poppies.
Work on the mural began August 15 and is expected to conclude this week. The painters worked in the late afternoon, to avoid the scorching midday heat.
This is the fourth mural partnership project by The ARTree, a non-profit organization whose mission is to enhance art education for children in the Santa Clarita Valley. The garden project was financed by the Community Gardens group, who paid for supplies and is making a donation to each group as a way of saying 'thanks' for their efforts.
Juarez said that the crops being nurtured in the garden look pretty healthy and she hopes that the artwork will inspire them.
The mural is painted on a side of the shed that cannot be seen by passing traffic on Bouquet Canyon Road, but it in full view of the park's main parking lot.

Leaked Battlefront III Footage Surfaces
by Vinny Caravella on
New footage of Star Wars: Battlefront III is making the rounds, but does the game still exist?
Some nice "stalker cam" footage has emerged from what is purportedly Star Wars: Battlefront III. I watched it and there's really no reason for me to doubt that this is legit--it looks really good. The bigger question is where the hell is this game now? With the fate of Free Radical still in question, Battlefront III is supposedly now being developed by Rebellion, the makers of the PSP's Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron. This makes me wonder how much of this footage is still relevant. The optimist in me hopes all of it is, the pessimist thinks this game is never coming out and the realist in me knows he hasn't played a Battlefront game since the original.
The footage is reported to be from November, at an internal meeting with Free Radical.
Man. I'm still a sucker for anything Star Wars. I need help.
Thanks to Kotaku for this one.

NEW YORK — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell appointed predecessor Paul Tagliabue to hear the appeals of four players suspended in the Saints' bounty scandal.
Goodell said Friday he notified Jonathan Vilma, Will Smith, Scott Fujita and Anthony Hargrove, as well as the players' union, that Tagliabue would be the hearing officer to decide the appeals and bring the matter to a prompt and fair conclusion.
The union and the four players had asked Goodell to recluse himself, contending he could not fairly rule. Their second set of appeals will be heard Oct. 30.
Any time we move towards a fair evaluation of the evidence it is a positive development, said Peter Ginsberg, Vilma's attorney. Commissioner Goodell's belated recognition that he cannot possibly serve as an impartial and unbiased arbitrator is certainly a positive development. And we have enormous respect for Paul Tagliabue.
Having said that, we now need to learn whether Commissioner Tagliabue plans to provide to us the fundamental rights that Commissioner Goodell ignored, including the right to examine the accusers and to see the evidence, and also we need to consider that Commissioner Tagliabue is counsel to the law firm representing Commissioner Goodell in Jonathan's defamation lawsuit, as well as representing the NFL in Jonathan's challenge to the entire process in this matter.
Vilma was suspended for the 2012 season and Smith was banned four games for his role in the bounties program. Fujita, now with the Browns, was barred three games, since reduced to one. Hargrove is a free agent whose suspension was reduced from eight games to seven.
I have held two hearings to date and have modified the discipline in several respects based on my recent meetings with the players, Goodell said. I will have no role in the upcoming hearings or in Mr. Tagliabue's decisions.
Paul Tagliabue is a genuine football authority whose tenure as commissioner was marked by his thorough and judicious approach to all matters, he added. He has many years of experience in NFL collective bargaining matters and an impeccable reputation for integrity.
Tagliabue was NFL commissioner from 1989-2006 and is a lawyer. For part of that time, Goodell was the league's general counsel.
Goodell said he consulted with NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith before asking Tagliabue to hear these appeals. The collective bargaining agreement with the union that was reached to end the lockout in August 2011 gave Goodell exclusive authority to hear appeals of discipline for conduct detrimental or to appoint someone to hear and decide an appeal.
Goodell periodically has appointed others to hear appeals for club fines, personal conduct suspensions and for matters concerning drug and steroid policy.

UFC President Dana White addresses the injury situation with Nogueira and Lesnar at the UFC 105 post-fight press conference. According to white, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira will have to withdraw from his main event fight Cain Velasquez due to a severe case of Staph infection.
"[Nogueira] got staph infection, bad, to the point now it's in his bloodstream, and he's probably going to have to be hospitalized and intravenously given the antibiotics,"
Also, Brock Lesnar is not doing so good, his fight with Shane Carwin once scheduled for UFC 106, has been put off indefinitely.
"I am worried about it … I can't really talk about it right now, but [Lesnar] is in rough shape. He's in really bad shape.
"I'm actually probably going to fly to go see him, and we're going to probably have to do some stuff to take care of this guy. He is not well, and he's not getting any better."
"I don't know … I've got to get him to one of these really good hospitals with really good doctors to figure out what's wrong and how we get him better."
"[Lesnar] is in bad shape, and the reality is they don't really know all that's wrong with him … He owns a bunch of property in Canada. He went up to Canada just to get away from his house, to go up there and just kind of chill out up there.
"He [expletive] dropped. He went down, and he had to go to the hospital. They ran every test on the planet on him, and they ended up finding out something else was wrong with him."
"If it's a long wait, we're gong to have to do something … We're going to have to — the last thing I ever want to do is strip a guy who won a title. That's the last thing I want to do. I don't know if we'll have to do an interim or what we'll do to fix it." [MMAJunkie]
"It's crazy … In nine years of being in this business, we haven't had this many injuries in one (full) year."
Bad news for UFC 108 as well as the UFC heavyweight division. With the top two heavyweights out indefinitely, the UFC must figure its next move to salvage the division. Carwin vs Velasquez?
terrible..pure terrible
Just give us Cain VS Carwin lit it was supposed to .
Carwin diden deserve a titel shot in the first place he and cain where gone fight for it in the first place so now they can winner gets te titel shot and loser get his first los .
Karma thats what its called
lets See randy vs Tito 2 on this date, because we all know tito will kill forrest then randy
This is really bad and you have to feel for White, Lesnar and his family, not only does he have mono but he has another serious illness, who knows the way Dana is talking Lesnar may never fight again. Lets just stay postive and hope for the best like him or hate him you never want to see a fighter with a serious illness.
I was thinking the same thing last night, Tito vs Randy 2, would be great and i bet it will happen if Tito wins.
Well I hope Brock gets better but oh well lets make a new champ right now and when he gets rid of the cold feet he can come back. Fedor if your reading this stay away from UFC theres a pandemic going around .
Pandemic UFC virus called coldfeet!
Tim if it is true about Brock I will keep him in my prayers but I know how Dana has lied in the past and I hope he is not lying about something like this. Dana can not be trusted
Sad news for Lesnar, hope he gets better to fight again.
This is bad 4 the ufc. Lately there has been so many crappy cards, and boring ass fights. Thats why last night we watched the boxing event instead. There isn't anything good coming up soon either, seriously tito vs griffin ppv? yea right.
i disagree i think theres been some really entertaining cards recently but do agree tito vs forrest isnt main event status, give cain the fight against carwin and just see how brock recovers. Cant wait for mir vs kongo thats gonna be fireworks !
easy fix make Cain fight Carwin like they should have before anyway the winner gets Lesnar in the spring
Dana or anybody else wouldnt lie about a fighters health there isnt anything to gain from that. Look at reality Lesnar is sick and so are a few others, it happens. The main thing for a promoter is fighter safety which Dana has made his priority as you see it in every fight hell you even see it on the shows, he always goes out of his way to check on his fighters and to make sure they are okay.
If lesnar can come back and fight and i doubt it, based upon my readings its sounds serious enough to where he may not be able to train for 6 months, they will probably put up an interim belt.
what … the … fuck.
1. This is bad news, and hope Brock is OK, but wow, what an injury bug right now in the UFC
2. Hall, you're a silly boy.
3. I don't know if I was Brock that I would like Dana putting him all on front street like that about my health. Dana makes it sounds like Brock's dying or something. This is not something to mess around with. If it IS that serious, then respect the man and keep your mouth shut about the details. If this is all hype, then Dana loses all the good-will I ever said about him. But I'll still watch, because I love MMA, the UFC Fighters, and it more exciting than "hugging and dancing" (sorry, I mean "boxing").

Windows 7 Release Candidate available to the public
By Tim Hanlon
May 5, 2009
If you missed out on the limited public beta release (Build 7000) of Windows 7 back in January, here's your chance to score the first release candidate (Build 7100) of Microsoft's big redeemer. This time around, there'll be no limit on the number of downloads or the number of serial numbers given out - until the end of July, that is.
Just head over to www.microsoft.com with your Windows Live ID in hand to start the 2.5GB download and grab a serial number. If you don't have a Windows Live ID, you can easily sign up for free.
The RC will be fully functional until March 1, 2010. Those of you still using the beta should start preparing for a reformat - as your machine will start shutting down every two hours on July 1.
If you're looking for a little help getting the RC onto a machine without a DVD drive, try reading our guide How to install Windows 7 on an IdeaPad S10 (or other netbook) without a DVD drive. It was written when the beta arrived, but will still help get up and running with the RC.
Tim Hanlon
As expected, the Windows 7 Release Candidate (build 7100) is now available to the public for download. The beta keys Microsoft gave out during the public beta will work just fine with this build. The RC is available in 32-bit and 64-bit flavors in English, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish.
This is different from the beta, which was available in English (32-bit and 64-bit), German (32-bit and 64-bit), Japanese (32-bit and 64-bit), Arabic (32-bit and 64-bit), and Hindi (32-bit). If you are already on the beta, Microsoft recommends a clean install of the RC build: the upgrade path is not supported. There are ways to get around this limit, but I also recommend that you backup all your data and do a clean install. Build 7100 will expire on June 1, 2010. However, starting on March 1, 2010, Windows 7 will begin shutting down every two hours.Technocrate

TG rides along with the Carabinieri
A 172mph Lotus. Blues and twos. Armed policemen. And a fridge. Organ delivery just got faster
Posted: 02 Dec 2011
As impressive as the carabinieri drivers' traffic-cleaving abilities, is their extraordinary cab-driver knowledge of Rome's thousands of tiny back streets. Every cut-through, passage, rat-run... these guys know the lot, slipping down impossibly narrow alleys before popping up in front of another stunning ancient monument. Or a scooter.
As we sneak out of a scrawny side street, a gangling teen on a Vespa with a long, drooping cigarette flopping between his lips, jumps a red light, wobbling unsteadily in front of us. Catching a glimpse of blue light, the rider glances over his left shoulder, his face freezing in a portrait of rictus terror as he spots the sleek, evil pair of police cars.

Joan Marie Ryan (born 8 September 1955, Warrington), a British Labour Party politician. She is the Member of Parliament (MP) for Enfield North, having first held the seat between 1997 and 2010, when she lost it to Nick de Bois, but regained it in 2015. She had previously been deputy leader of Barnet Council.[1]
Parliamentary career[edit]
|This biographical article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2012)
Ryan served as a local Labour Councillor for eight years. She was Chair of Policy and Finance and deputy leader of Barnet Council before being elected as Member of Parliament for Enfield North in the 1997 general election.
Ryan was parliamentary private secretary to Andrew Smith, as well as a senior whip. From 5 May 2006 to 29 June 2007, Ryan was Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for nationality, citizenship and immigration at the Home Office, succeeding Andy Burnham.
In the 2005 election she retained her seat with a slightly reduced majority.
On 29 June, it was announced that the Prime Minister had appointed Ryan as Special Representative to Cyprus and as a Privy Counsellor.
She called for a leadership election to replace Gordon Brown as Labour Party leader. For this she was fired as Vice Chair of the Labour Party and Prime Minister's envoy to Cyprus on 14 September 2008.[2]
Ryan was defeated by Conservative candidate Nick de Bois by 1,692 votes in the 2010 general election.[3] She stood again in 2015 - the fourth time Ryan and de Bois had contested the seat - and regained her seat in parliament with a majority of 1,086 votes.
In October 2007, the Evening Standard reported that Joan Ryan claimed £173,691 in expenses for the 2006/2007 tax year,[4] the highest for any MP. She was the second highest claimant in the 2005/2006 tax year.
In May 2009, it was reported that Ryan had claimed more than £4,500 under the Additional Costs Allowance for work on a house she had designated as her second home.[5] In February 2010, based on an audit report looking into the United Kingdom parliamentary expenses scandal, Ryan was asked to repay £5,121 mortgage interest.[6]
In 2012, The Independent reported that "[a]t least 10 attempts have been made from computers in Parliament to remove information about [Ryan's] expenses claims and a further 20 efforts to delete the information, some from her constituency of Enfield, have also been recorded in Wikipedia's logs."[7] Entries on the present page's edit history page indicate that similar edits to hide Ryan's record continue to be made.[8]
Personal life[edit]
As of May 2009[update] she lived in Enfield with her husband, Martin Hegarty, and children.[9] She has three grandchildren.[10]
Although she lives in the London Borough of Enfield she does not live in her target constituency of Enfield North.[11]
While out of parliament[edit]
After losing her seat, Ryan was appointed Chief Executive of the Global Tamil Forum, and later became deputy director of the successful NOtoAV campaign.[12]
In March 2013, Ryan announced she was preparing to seek re-selection by Labour to contest the Enfield North constituency for the 2015 General Election. Her potential candidacy was met with displeasure from some local activists,[13] who questioned if Ryan's high-profile problems with expenses claims[14] might cause electoral problems.
While Labour were undergoing their selection process in the neighbouring constituency of Enfield Southgate, Ryan was accused of trying to influence the result.[15]
In June 2013, Ryan was re-selected as the Labour prospective parliamentary candidate for the Enfield North constituency. Her selection was not met with wide approval from within the local party - including the Chairman Viki Pite, who said that she was "disappointed with the selection" as she felt a "fresh start" was needed.[16] After Ryan's reselection several constituents wrote to her local paper, the Enfield Advertiser, suggesting that voters had not yet forgotten the revelations about her expenses in 2009.[17] However, on 7 May 2015 she was successful in gaining re-election to the House of Commons.

Good info, but the title subject and video content do not match. More info and examples on the actual cutting bed layout, possible alternatives, composition of plants or thoughts on yearly planning...., this video seemed to focus on sweet pea tepee and planting out.
15/01/2015 at 20:16
I concur fully with mum61's reply dated 24/11/2011, if this is correctly dated why are you continuing with this clip which does nothing to explain creating a cutting patch, even I could mention 8 or 10 plants by name and say plant in a prepared bed, what is required here is hows, when's, where's and why's. A little disappointed, feeling somewhat let down.

Beekeeping is in Russell Gibbs' blood, but it wasn't until last year that he picked up the practice his grandfather learned in the 1940s.
During spring 2011 Gibbs, 33, built a pair of white wooden hives, bought his first two colonies and established them on a friend's farm in Canfield, 40 minutes from his Dundas home. It was supposed to be a hobby, a way to find a deeper connection to both his family and nature (at the time, he was commuting to Toronto for his job as Creative Director at Parcel Design), but it turned into a bit of business venture this summer.
It's not quite as large-scale as the commercial operation his uncles run in Dalkeith, Ont. (they have 1,200 colonies of 40,000 to 60,000 bees each), but Gibbs increased his colonies from two to seven this past spring. He has some spare time to take care of them since quitting his job at Parcel to start his own graphic design business last summer and the bees have been thriving.
It usually takes a full season for a colony to get used to its surroundings, but Gibbs says 2012 was a good year for his, owing in part to the mild winter and early spring weather.
"What lucked out for me is I didn't push the bees last year," he says. "Sometimes beekeepers will get focused on getting the product the first year but I just let them build for themselves and because we had an early spring and an early summer and it was so hot out of the gate, the two colonies from last year were just producing like nuts."
In August he extracted and jarred 120 pounds of honey, made primarily from the clover and wildflowers that were in bloom at the time. A June harvest was comprised mostly of early spring and summer blossoms, offering a rich, dark nectar. In late August he extracted most of the honey before the real goldenrod boom, but there's still a bit mixed in. Gibbs says the plant's floral flavour combined with that of earlier summer clover gives his latest batch of honey great flavour.
Thinking ahead, Gibbs has considered adding more colonies, but he says this year kept him busy enough and once his newer bees have adjusted to the area, they'll produce even more. On top of that, he's started working with a Grade 7/8 class at the Dundas Valley Montessori School — teaching them the ins and outs of being an apiarist. It's a lot to deal with, especially when he factors in his design work.
"The thing I sort of realized with this is you can't put Mother Nature off," says Gibbs. "You can stagger and plan your schedule with design work but with beekeeping you can't. If you neglect visiting and taking care of the bees, something can happen."
Gibbs has been fortunate. He hasn't had to deal with varroa mites (a parasite that can cause colony collapse) and he only had a minor brush with the insecticide neonicotinoid (similarly linked to collapse). It's partly because of how hyperaware he is of the potential problems. He thinks of his bees like pets and is fascinated by their minisocieties.
"You think they're simple bugs that collect nectar and store it," he says. "But they have these complex lives." While it's true that some start out as worker bees, collecting nectar, they accept different jobs as they grow to full maturity (40 days). Some take care of other bees. Some clean the hive. Others, called undertakers, pick up dying bees and fly them away to die outside of the hive.
Gibbs also loves the way beekeeping balances his day job. The time he spends tending to his hives is a complete 180 degree turn from graphic design, but there are aspects of it that are complementary. He did all the design for his website ( www.gibbshoney.com), logo, merchandise and marketing. He's the one who mans a table Fridays at the Centro Market in downtown Burlington when he has a harvest. And he does all the shipping for online orders that come in from Toronto, Hamilton, Kitchener and even Seattle.
"That's the thing that's sort of neat about the way this is working. Sort of every step of it has been a new thing for me," he says. "It's not necessarily an easy thing to do but it's really rewarding."

In an open test session for ARCA drivers last week at Daytona International Speedway, former Lebanon Valley Speedway and Orange County Fair Speedway pro stock driver Sean Corr led the way.
I can't even describe this. The video doesn't do it total justice, but I tried like hell to give you the same thrill I got!
Rain shortened Friday's qualifying for tonight's Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway to just one wild session.
So this February I went down to the Daytona 500 and it turned out Jake Owen was also at the race to perform. I was stoked because I love Jake and his music: both are just fun and easygoing. I was very fortunate, however, because he invited me to come see him the night before the race where he was doing an acoustic show for Budweiser and his buddy, Kevin Harvick.
With all the crazy weather surrounding the Daytona 500, I didn't hear very much about the National Anthem during the Nationwide race on Saturday night. It kind of surprised me, considering it was one of the most unique versions I've ever heard!
Rock band, Madison Rising performed a HARD ROCK version of the National Anthem before the Nationwide race in Daytona. And not everyone loved
With the 2013 NASCAR season coming to an end last weekend in Florida, it doesn't take long for race fans to direct their attention to the new year ahead.
The annual mid-season event of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series takes place in Daytona Beach tonight. Toyota teammates Kyle Busch and Matt Kenseth will lead the field to green for the Coke Zero 400 just before 8:00 p.m.
Tony Stewart normally would have something to cheer about today. It was an amazing race at Daytona. Unfortunately he's probably not drinking the "bubbly" tonite. There was also a terrible crash that injured many in the stands.
Country stars like Reba McEntire and Rodney Atkins are leading NASCAR fans in prayer this evening after a horrific accident at the end of Saturday's (Feb. 23) race at Daytona which left over two dozen fans injured. One adult is in surgery with a life-threatening head injury, while a 14-year-old is in critical condition.
Even though the Daytona 500 is still just about a month away, some of NASCAR's top stars will be racing at Daytona International Speedway this weekend. It's the start of the Grand-Am sports car racing season and the opening race is the Rolex 24.
The 2012 racing season is underway! No its not time for the Daytona 500, that's still four weeks away. But race cars are circulating around Daytona International Speedway this weekend in a classic race known around the world. It's the Grand-Am Racing Series Rolex 24 At Daytona.

|Seller's Description
Here is a representative of the Good Quality Italian .25 Autos that were plentiful from the early 1960s until their demise in the 1980s. The Raven MP-25 and its Jennings, Bryco and High Point successors, all pure junk, nudged the Titan and Targa off the market, much to the detriment of cheap gun owners. This is a good pistol, steel parts including external hammer, on a pot metal frame. The only curiosity for operating it and its rarely seen brothers is that the safety works opposite most autos; forward is safe and backward is fire. There is a vast difference between the quality of Italian and Spanish small autos with external hammers and the current crop of junk that is on the market nowadays. The only internal hammer autos of decent quality are the old Colts, Bauers, and Brownings. This one is in Very Good condition, with normal even pocket wear and scuffing on its wood panel grips. We rate it as Very Good finishwise, about 75 percent; and it is excellent mechanically. Own this good solid little Excam model GT-27W .25 Auto pistol simply by being the most resolute bidder on its Auction Arms auction.
