Turn in TVIP in Tecate?
This question came up a while back. Sorry if it has already been discussed.
I asked at the Banco while paying for my touriste card when I passed through Tecate heading South a few weeks ago and the answer is no.
The man in the bank said in Baja only Mexicali and Tijuana could cancel out a TVIP.
That was correct a couple of years ago. The banjercito website listed one in Tacate, but it had been closed. I took a side trip to Mexicali to cancel my permit. Even there you'll find a couple of crossings but only one has a banjercito.
Correct you want the truck crossing to the East of town stay to the left of the main one way road to the border crossing and go to the little keiosk in the parking lot
In Tijuana the GPS co ordinates are.... 32.540184, -117.031420
The only places in Baja to turn them in TJ and Mexicali. After turning them in, we headed over to Tecate to cross the border, much quicker.
TVIP in Tecate
The Banjercito office at the La Paz Mazatlan Ferry sez that yes you can turn in your TVIP at Tecate but only between 8AM and 4PM. I a planning to do that on Friday 4/26. Will let you know how that goes.
The Banjercito Office in connected to the Immigration Building, just north of the doorway to enter Immigration. It is the building with the the round front. When we were there, we had to stand outside the building and get the man's attention thru the window.
Cancel TVIP in Tecate
This was pretty much as GoingPostal has said. The customs/immigration/and Banjercito are all together in a building to the East of the road that leads to the crossing into the US. This building is located, naturally enough, right where you enter Mexico. There was a long line to get into the US, I went to the front of that line and asked the soldier where the Banjercito office was. He directed me the wrong way on a one way street but no one seemed to get too exercised about that. You do indeed have to walk up to the window of the half round office and knock to get the attention of the staff. The first guy I talked to told me that they could not cancel a TVIP there. I explained that I had called the main office and they told me that I could. He went into the back and another guy came out and said that first I had to go to customs and they would look at the bike and sign off and then I would bring the document back to Banjercito. Both officials took photos of my VIN stamped papers and off I went. I was allowed to go right to the front of the line to enter the US and was asked a few friendly questions by our ICE guys and I was back in the US.

Even if Woods managed to avoid directly implicating his wife in a crime, there's apt to be plenty of forensic evidence.
The spot was too small to double-test, and it had to be amplified beyond the standard measures of practice in forensic science.
Many were executed with a bullet to the head, a field report drawing on forensic evidence later concluded.

1) Government is generally incompetent.
- the mayor invites people into an auditorium, then realizes they have no ability to care for these people, then starts swearing like a sailor about the Bush dropping the ball (see here).
- the efficient Red Cross were denied access (see here) to New Orlean because the federal government was afraid this would discourage emigration from the city.
- the department of Homeland Security is a bureaucratic nightmare, and has taken over FEMA. Surprisingly, to some, it was not up to the task.
- John Locke was a seminal influence on the Constitution of the US. He noted that securing the life and property of its citizens is paramount.
- see this classic video, which shows citizens and police looting a WalMart during the crisis.
- New Orleans has historically been a lawless place. Earlier this year police fired 700 rounds of blanks (see here) and no one called the cops--they did not figure it worth reporting, either because it was not uncommon or they just did not care.
- Looting and violence did not happen nearly as much in other equally devastated areas like Biloxi Missippippi, or in post-earthquake Kobe Japan, or in post-tsunami Sri Lanka. Many international observers were surprised, but the US is a big country, and many parts of it are one power-outage away from Hobbes' state of nature.
- No amount of money can prevent 1-in-100 year storms from disrupting communities and causing loss of life. It is impractical to have a standing army ready to jump into the fray when such improbable occurences happen. Those who get most upset by the inability of federal government to instantly ameliorate these situations (see here) just show their childlike naivite, as if the government, especially the federal government in Washington DC, has an efficient plan to protect every enclave from its particular risks. It doesn't, and it can't.

August 7, 2007
AUGUSTA, Ga.---Dozens gathered today in downtown Augusta as part of National Women's Day of Outrage. Augusta was one of 20 cities chosen for the nationwide protest.
The target is the music recording industry's use of demeaning and derogatory terms toward women. Protesters held signs saying "No to Degrading Women", "No to Sexist Images on TV", and "No to Offensive Lyrics in Music".
"I think women should be held up as the back bone of this community," said protester and school board member Venus Cain. " We are mothers, we are wives, we are sisters, we raise our children, we work in the community. There's a lot riding on us and for us to be referred to in derogatory terms is unacceptable to me."
Rev. K.B. Martin, the president of the National Action Network; Augusta Mayor Deke Copenhaver; and local radio personality Deanna Brown spoke at today's event.
Some other cities that had protests today included New York City, Los Angeles, Detroit, Atlanta, and Miami.

Almost 1 in 5 Households Will Celebrate Thanksgiving 2014 on Food Stamps
Welcome to Obama's 2014 Thanksgiving for America. As reported at CNS News, nearly one in five U.S. households will celebrate Thanksgiving on food stamps this year, according to the latest data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture on participation in the Supplemental Nutrition and Assistance Program. Don't worry though, the Obama's wont go without, let them eat
cake pie.
They don't call him the Food Stamp president for nothing. But then again, he likes a government dependent class of people.
As of this August, according to the most recent data released by USDA, there were 22,729,389 households on food stamps. That equaled 19.75 percent of 115,048,000 households in the country at that time.
In each of the two previous fiscal years, the percentage of American households on food stamps in the average was near 20 percent, hitting 19.4 percent in 2012, 20.4 percent in 2013.
As of August, according to the Department of Agriculture, there were 46,484,828 individuals in the food stamp program.
One in Four Americans Between the Ages of 25 – 54 Not Working
From The Weekly Standard comes the following … 1 in 4 Americans betwwen the ages of 25 and 54 are not working. Add this to the record number of Americans on food stamps and claiming disabilities. And then there is black unemployment that is soaring. Of course this is how you create a dependent government class of people, make the welfare state their only source of income. It is disgusting how this government gets in the way of business. If it is not a business they approve of, they will squash it.
A new chart from the minority side of the Senate Budget Committee shows a startling fact: Almost 1 in 4 Americans between the ages of 25-54 (or prime working years) are not working.
Here's a chart showing those in that age group currently employed (95.6 million) and those who aren't (28.9 million):
"There are 124.5 million Americans in their prime working years (ages 25–54). Nearly one-quarter of this group—28.9 million people, or 23.2 percent of the total—is not currently employed. They either became so discouraged that they left the labor force entirely, or they are in the labor force but unemployed. This group of non-employed individuals is more than 3.5 million larger than before the recession began in 2007," writes the Republican side of the Senate Budget Committee.

Sean Hannity Blasts President Barack Obama in Blistering Monologue … 'It's Time for a Wake-Up Call' … "It Is Time for You to Get Engaged."
Last night Sean Hannity blasted Barack Obama in a blistering monologue begging, asking and demanding that this president 'WAKE UP" and get engaged in the turmoil in both domestic and foreign policy. Much of which Obama has no one to blame but himself. Although he will try and pass the buck. It is becoming evident that Obama is the "Bystander" in Chief and refuses to step up to the plate and lead. But instead Obama attends fundraisers, plays golf and goes on vacation to Martha's Vineyard.
Hannity stated that our world is in an alarming state of emergency, between Israel's ground war into Gaza to protect itself from Hamas, Malaysia flight ML17 blown out of the sky in an unspeakable act killing innocent men, women and children, ISIS on the rise, Al-Qaeda on the move, the Middle East on fire, Russia and Putin flexing its muscles, Obama administration scandals like IRS-gate and Benghazi-gate, and a US domestic policy of out of control national debt and a discouraged work force. Let us not forget the crisis we have on our Southern border caused by Obama's lack of protecting or borders. Then there is that Obamacare thing.
Hannity said, "It is shocking to see a president of the United States, the free world, with such a lack of urgency and priorities. So I say to the president tonight: It is time for action, it's time for urgency. It is time for you to get engaged." Hannity went on to say, "Mr. President for you to stand up. It is time for you to lead. It's time to skip for once your lavish million dollar Marha's Vineyard vacation. It's time for you to put down those golf clubs. I thing 180 rounds of gold is quite enough. It is time for you to lead by example. [...] You need to spend more time in The Oval Office. You need to be in the Situation Room. You may be surprised to learn what has actually happened in the six years since you have become the leader of the free world."
"It is shocking to see a president of the United States, the free world, with such a lack of urgency and priorities," Hannity said. "So I say to the president tonight: It is time for action, it's time for urgency. It is time for you to get engaged."
Hannity then skewered the president over his handling of domestic matters.
"Mr. President, why don't you consider the events of these past 24 hours to be a very, very costly and deadly wake up call," Hannity said. "And while all this was happening yesterday, you spent 40 seconds dealing with the killing of nearly 300 innocent people and for your secretary of state to tell Israel to restrain itself again and again. It's time for a wakeup call.
Welcome to Obamaland: Food Stamp Recipients Outnumber Women Who Work Full-Time, Barack Obama … The Food Stamp President
Welcome to Barack Obama's 'Hope & Change'… welfare instead of jobs.
What happened to the country I grew up in, the Food Stamp edition. Since 1969 there has been a 1,552% increase in food stamp recipients. ARE YOU KIDDING!!! There were only 2,878,000 people on food stamps in 1969 as compared to the current 44,758,000. That is simply astonishing and unsustainable. The number of food stamp recipients has increased so much, that for 2012, the number of people participating in the food stamp program outnumbered the women who worked full-time, year-round in the United States.
Check out in the chart below the vertical red line increase of food stamp recipients since Obama took office in 2009. They don't call Barack Obama the Food Stamp president for nothing. His moniker has been well earned. Also check out on the same chart the stagnate blue line of woman who work full time under Obama's administration. This is Obamanomics and the real war on woman. Obama has been nothing more than an EPIC FAILURE!!! America, we better right this ship before it is too late.
People participating in the food stamp program outnumbered the women who worked full-time, year-round in the United States in 2012, according to data from the Department of Agriculture and the Census Bureau.
In the average month of 2012, according to the Department of Agriculture, there were 46,609,000 people participating in the food stamp program (formally known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program). That contrasts with the 44,059,000 women who worked full-time, year-round in 2012, according to the Census Bureau's report on Income, Poverty and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States.
For each woman who worked full-time, year-round in 2012, there was slightly more than 1 other person collecting food stamps.
In 2013, the average number of people on food stamps increased to 47,636,000. The Census Bureau will not publish its report on Income, Poverty and Health Insurance Coverage for 2013, which includes the data on women working full-time, until September.
The Department of Agriculture's website lists the annual average number of food stamps participants going back to 1969. That year, there were only 2,878,000 people on food stamps. Since then, food stamps participants have increased by 44,758,000—or about 1,552 percent.
Protein Wisdom opines on some not so good coincidences between the Carter and Obama presidencies. Why exactly did you reelect this disaster?
For those into trivia, those three years (and 2013 is likely to join them as the fourth) took place under the Carter and Obama Administrations.
As did the ruthless arrogance of Muslim extremists and Communist Russians.
Again, probably just a coincidence — and even if it's not, Obama's reelection proves that women and minorities love them some other people's shit, and don't much care if that turns them, effectively, into slaves of the state. Because they've been empowered by "self-esteem," which allows them to justify and rationalize away their own near-permanent state of being.
Barack Obama's Chickens are Coming Home to Roost
Obama's Chickens coming home to roost means American's goose is cooked …
I would add it is more than a mere coincidence that everything that Obama has done in his six years in office has made the United States of America a weaker nation. whether it be domestic or foreign policy, Obama has done what many believe is irreparable damage to the US. One would almost say, it would be impossible to get so many things wrong. One might even say it was intentional.
It is impossible to dismiss as mere coincidence the Russian Bear's invasion of Ukraine and the continuing mayhem of the Affordable Care Act. In their own ways, each reflects the full flowering of the policies of Barack Obama.
His chickens are coming home to roost, and what a mess they are making.
Obama's sixth year in the White House is shaping up as his worst, and that's saying something. He's been in the Oval Office so long that it is obscene to blame his problems on George W. Bush, the weather or racism. Obama owns the world he made, or more accurately, the world he tried to remake.
Nothing important has worked as promised, and there is every reason to believe the worst is yet to come. The president's casual remark the other day that he worries about "a nuclear weapon going off in Manhattan" inadvertently reflected the fear millions of Americans have about his leadership. Not necessarily about a bomb, but about where he is taking the country.
Gallup Poll: Barack Obama's Job Approval Ratings Back in the 30′s
No one can say he did not get to his job approval rating the old fashion way … he earned it!
According to the most recent Gallup poll, 3 day rolling average, President Barack Obama's job approval rating in back in the 30′s. Take your pick, the economy, record debt, record number of individuals on food stamps, failed green energy agenda, scandals like Benghazi-gate and IRS-gate, foreign policy disasters like Syria, Libya, the failed Arab Spring and the disastrous Russia reset and Obamacare … one wonders how Obama is not in the 20′s.
Democrats are panicking ahead of the 2014 midterm elections.

Fox News Poll: Barack Obama Hits All-Time Low Job Approval at 38%, 54% Disapprove … Only 33% Believe Obama has Improved America's Image around the World
Barack Obama's 38% job approval is well deserved, he did it the old-fashioned way … HE EARNED IT!!!
Can you say 'EPIC FAILURE' and it would appear the American people may finally be fed up with Obama's disastrous presidency. According to the most recent Fox News poll, President Barack Obama has hit an all-time low in his job approval, as an anemic 38% approve of the job he is doing while a whopping 54% disapprove. But wait, a look inside the numbers and the news gets even worse for Obama and Democrats. Obama's numbers on healthcare, the economy and foreign policy are abysmal.
Just how many Democrats are going to want this president near him during the 2014 elections?
For the first time in a Fox News poll, fewer than four voters in ten — 38 percent — approve of President Obama's job performance. Fifty-four percent disapprove. Before now Obama's worst job rating was 40-55 percent in November 2013. Last month 42 percent approved and 53 percent disapproved (February 2014).
Approval of Obama among Democrats stands at 71 percent, near its 69 percent record low (September 2013). For independents, 28 percent approve, which is also near the 25 percent all-time low among this group (July 2013). And approval of Obama among Republicans hits a new low of five percent.
Full poll results can be read HERE.
Most all of Obama's poll numbers are now in the 30′s. Across the board whether it be domestic or foreign policy, Obama has failed. Now we can only hope America can survive another 3 years with this president.
- Healthcare: 36% Approve - 59% Disapprove
- Economy: 36% Approve - 58% Disapprove
- Foreign Policy: 33% Approve – 56% Disapprove
- Do you think the country is better off than it was five years ago, or not? 34% Yes - 60% No – 5% the Same
Wait, let's try to find some good news for Obama and his lockstep Democrats in their poll. Oh sorry, there is none. On items that Americans were asked as to whether Barack Obama mostly succeeded or Mostly failed, Obama got an "F".

Is Barack Obama Really Make Income Inequality a Main Topic at SOTU Address When it Has Increased Under his Presidency? Income Gap Widened Under Obama
Like everything Barack Obama has touched or claims he wants to make better, has become worse under his presidency …
The Divider in Chief Barack Obama is back to his old games of blaming the rich for the evils of society. What else is Obama going to do when he is an abject failure who has only made matters worse since he has been in office? Obama rails about income inequality and that it is the worse problem of out time, yet he is responsible for making the gap wider. From the president who makes class warfare part of his daily agenda and who claims he is for the common man, while demonizing the rich, Barack Obama has widened the income gap during his presidency turning the gap into a canyon.

Income inequality — the gap between the rich and poor — is an issue U.S. presidents of both parties have spoken of for years.
President Clinton touted, toward the end of his term, that wages were rising "at all income levels" for the first time in decades. President George W. Bush, toward the end of his, pondered the best way to respond to income inequality, noting some policies "lift people up" and some "tear others down."
But perhaps no president has hammered the issue as emphatically as President Obama.
In his 2012 State of the Union address, Obama said: "The defining issue of our time is how to keep that promise alive. No challenge is more urgent. No debate is more important. We can either settle for a country where a shrinking number of people do really well, while a growing number of Americans barely get by, or we can restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, and everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules."
But a look back shows that income inequality has grown, not shrunk, under the current president.
"All told, income inequality has tended to get worse under President Obama," American Enterprise Institute President Arthur Brooks said.
According to a recent FOX News poll, Barack Obama polls miserably on doing his job on the issue of income inequality. 52% disapprove with how Obama has handled income inequality and only 39% approve. So with Obama failing at an issue he claims to care about, how does he even have the audacity to bring the issue up at the State of the Union Address? Obama's economic policies have made things worse for those lower income earners, while he has made the Wall Street fat cats richer. Hmm, but I thought Obama hated the rich? Obama has falsely propped up the stock markets thanks to the fed's quantitative easing which only made the top 5% and 1% more and more money. It is those folks who can afford to take risks in the markets. However, for the average people who Obama claims to care about and tries to talk a good game, according to the recent Fox poll, 74% still feel like the country is in a recession. But don't worry America, Obama has the answer to fixing income inequality … raising the minimum wage. Good grief, really! With so many people unemployed or underemployed, with so many Americans on food stamps and with so many people having just given up and not even in the labor force, why wouldn't the gap be larger? When a Democrat party sets out to create a government dependent class of people, why is it that much of a surprise that the gap widens? Recessions affect the middle and lower classes the most.
U.S. income inequality, on rise for decades, is now highest since 1928.
Using tax-return data from the IRS, Saez has built extensive income-distribution datasets going back 100 years. He defines "income" as pre-tax cash market income — wages and salaries; dividends, interest, rent and other returns on invested capital; business profits; and realized capital gains. He excludes Social Security payments, unemployment benefits and other government transfer payments, which are more substantial today than before the Great Depression.
In 1928, the top 1% of families received 23.9% of all pretax income, while the bottom 90% received 50.7%. But the Depression and World War II dramatically reshaped the nation's income distribution: By 1944 the top 1%'s share was down to 11.3%, while the bottom 90% were receiving 67.5%, levels that would remain more or less constant for the next three decades.
But starting in the mid- to late 1970s, the uppermost tier's income share began rising dramatically, while that of the bottom 90% started to fall. The top 1% took heavy hits from the dot-com crash and the Great Recession but recovered fairly quickly: Saez's preliminary estimates for 2012 (which will be updated next month) have that group receiving nearly 22.5% of all pretax income, while the bottom 90%'s share is below 50% for the first time ever (49.6%, to be precise).
Barack Obama, the Divider in Chief: Obama Blames Racism Rather than Poor Job Performance For His Lower Approval Ratings
Once again Barack Obama cries racism instead of taking responsibility for his poor job performance … Obama plays the race card yet again.
In an interview with The New Yorker, Barack Obama blamed racism for his falling job approval and popularity numbers. Racial tensions is the reason why his popularity among white voters has waned within the past two years, are you kidding me? Sorry, but this man is a despicable human being and a poor excuse for a president who would continually try to divide a country between races and blame racism for his poor job as president. Disgusting!!! Obama thrives off of using the race card. This is why you never elect a community agitator as president.
Of course Obama could not look at the obvious to determine why his popularity among white voters has fallen in the past couple of years. Certainly it has nothing to do with the on going disastrous economy and Obama's failure to create jobs. Also, it has nothing to do with Obama's lies to the American people regarding Obamacare and that you could keep your insurance plan, if you liked it. It has nothing to do with other scandals like IRS-gate, Benghazi-gate and NSA-gate, where Americans no longer consider Obama trustworthy. And of course his failure in foreign policy has nothing to do with it either.
A note Barack Obama, when one is given the benefit of the doubt and then fails miserably on all aspects of their job, including their signature piece of legislation, you are deemed a failure and lose the support of the people.
President Barack Obama said that racial tensions may have softened his popularity among white voters within the last two years, according to a story posted on the New Yorker magazine's website today.
"There's no doubt that there's some folks who just really dislike me because they don't like the idea of a black president," Obama said in the article by David Remnick, appearing in the magazine's Jan. 27 edition.
"Now, the flip side of it is there are some black folks and maybe some white folks who really like me and give me the benefit of the doubt precisely because I'm a black president," Obama said in his most direct comments on how race has affected his political standing since he's been in office.
By the way, it is not just white voters where Obama has fallen badly in the polls. Barack Obama is down 23 points with Hispanics as well. Is that racism too? So are all of the following from the chart below racist too … they all have lower Obama approval numbers than 2012, including Blacks, Hispanics, Non-whites, women, men, Independents, moderate Democrats … pretty much everyone.

Barack Obama Weekly Address: The Imperial Sith Lord Obama Says, "Where Congress Isn't Acting, I'll Act on My Own"
Barack Obama's Weekly Address, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, LIE, LIE, LIE …
As if President Barack Obama has not done enough damage to the economy and the country, Obama is now doubling down and going try and finish the job of destroying America. Obama claims that 2014 is going to be a year of action and during his Weekly Address that he will move forward and act alone without Congress on certain issues if he can't gain the legislative body's cooperation. His exact words were, "I want to work with Congress on proven ways to create jobs." Work with Congress, since when? Proven ways, like what … increasing the minimum wage, Obamacare, extending unemployment, amnesty for illegals and raising taxes? All are proven ways to reduce jobs and create a further government dependent class. This rhetoric is coming off his earlier comments this week, that he has a pen. This is not leadership, it's authoritarianism and Unconstitutional.
This lying clown has been promising jobs for 5+ years and all his policies have provided us is extended long term unemployment, record number of Americans on food stamps and record low job participation rates.
So the Sith Lord says he is going to act alone and act without Congress. Take a good look at what Obama considers his signature piece of legislation. Obamacare was passed with no GOP support and he had to beg and make sweetheart deals like the Corn Husker kickback and the Louisiana Purchase to bribe Democrats into supporting it for passage. Just curious, how is Obamacare working out for America? Do you honestly want this man f'ing up immigration and the rest of the economy?
However, it is not the GOP that Obama needs to worry about in 2014, it is his own Democrat party. With Barack Obama's job approval ratings barely in the 40′s and with Obamacare a continuing nightmare for Americans, Obama is not a wounded lame duck president, he is a toxic one. What Democrat is going to want to sign on to any unpopular Obama idea and if Obama plays the "executive order" card to bypass Congress, he will further destroy the Democrats in the 2014 midterms.

There are several advantages human urine has over compost manure. It's not only cheap and user friendly but effective too
Members of Nezikokolima Farmers Group in Nabuti Village, Mukono District have substituted the use of compost manure with human urine to fertilise their gardens and they say their vegetable yields are impressive.
Besides, there are several advantages human urine has over compost manure. According to Cissy Mukasa, one of the 25 members of the group, urine manure is effective and user friendly.
It was introduced to the group by the Ecological Sanitation Project commonly known as EcoSan, implemented by Kampala City Council.
"The EcoSan project has really saved us the laborious compost manure making process. It has taught us the safe use of urine as manure and to us the elderly; it is a wonderful experience because it requires minimal labour.
It also repels pests such as Aphids which damage vegetable leaves," says Ms Mukasa. "So, at no extra cost, my vegetables are healthy and attract a better price now," she adds.
"Human urine for example contains a bulk of nutrients and it is a quick acting fertiliser which if recycled can boost farm productivity," says Dr Onesmus Ssemalulu, a soil scientist with Kawanda Agriculture Research Organisation.
"Under normal circumstances, an adult person releases 11 grams of nitrogen/urea, 1gram of phosphorus/super phosphate, 2.5 grams of pottasium in urine and 1.5 grams of Nitrogen, 0.5 grams Phosphorus and 1.0 grams of Potassium in feaces per day. Why waste all this?"
Dr Ssemalulu was part of the team that worked closely with a group of maize and vegetable farmers in Kyanja parish, in Nakawa division using urine as manure.
The farmers' yields tremendously improved and this was partly due to the commendable levels of Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium among other major nutrients that the urine deposited into the soil.
"Each litre of urine manure constitutes 2.3 grams of Nitrogen, 0.06 potassium and 1.6 phosphorus," he explains.
Patrick Makhosi, also a soil scientist with Kawanda Agricultural Research Organisation confirms the efficacy of human urine as a fertiliser. He says that applying urine once every week for at least two months will more than double the yield of vegetables.
This should however be done alongside proper agronomic practices such as timely weeding. The urine should be diluted with water at a ratio of 1: 9 and applied to the plant, where the stem touches the ground. In the case of maize plants, dilute the urine with water at a ratio of 3:7 and apply it close to the plants at least once every week for two months. The size and number of maize cobs will significantly improve.
"Our experiments were carried out on 5 ft by 20 ft plots and maize cobs increased from 36 to 72 cobs per plot. This translated into Shs7,200 compared to Shs1,800 from the control plot," Makhosi notes, pointing to proper agronomic practices as having greatly contributed to the yield improvement.
Improved sanitation
The five-year EcoSan pilot project commenced in 2002 to promote the use of Ecological Sanitation toilets as one of the strategies to improve the sanitation standards and health conditions of people living in poorly sanitised areas of Kawempe, Rubaga, Nakawa, Makindye and Kampala Central divisions.
This was done by constructing and demonstrating the proper utilisation of ecological sanitation toilets which can aid the closure of the loophole that has for long facilitated poor sanitation and loss of the much needed nutrients found in urine and faecal matter.
The EcoSan toilet is designed in a way that facilitates the separation of urine and faeces whenever one goes to the toilet. This is intended to ease and speed up the process of managing the excreta, to make it safe for recycling purposes. Empowering communities to sanitise the urine and faecal material for use as manure was identified as the best way to close the loophole.
But many of the people living in the project area do not have land on which to undertake farming activities so as to utilise the EcoSan manure. This is why the project identified and linked farmers out side the project areas to EcoSan users within the project area and facilitated them to access and use the manure.
"Finding use for the excreta and empowering the people to properly sanitise it before use is one of the cost effective means of improving sanitation and health. It also boosts agricultural productivity," Margaret Azuba, the Agriculture Officer of Kampala City Council and Co-ordinator of the EcoSan agricultural activities says.
"Linking up with farmers outside the project area was the best way to achieve our desired goal because unless the excreta is used, the EcoSan toilet technology may do more harm than good.
Actually, EcoSan toilets minus product use would take us back to square one especially in terms of sanitation". Nezikokolima group is one of the farmers groups that were linked to EcoSan toilet users in Kawempe division.
The group often mobilised urine from EcoSan toilet users in Kalelwe and Kamwokya and under the guidance of the EcoSan project staff, the farmers demonstrated the use of urine on different crops.
"Whenever we brought the urine, we would keep it in tightly closed containers for at least 14 days to facilitate decomposition and the death of disease causing pathogens, making it safe to both the users and the plants on which it is applied," Jessica Kalema a councillor from Mukono Town Council and also a member of Nezikokolima Farmers Group says.
Nutrient source
Jane Mugerwa, one of the EcoSan toilet owners and users in Kamwokya 1 Parish said that she uses the urine generated from her toilet on her banana plants in the backyard garden and in her banana plantation at Vvumba parish in Luwero District.
"My banana plantation in Vvumba was seriously affected by the banana bacterial wilt. I am trying to rehabilitate it by observing the recommended agronomic practices of which soil fertility improvement is part.
"So, I am applying the urine to restore the nutrients and the results so far are promising. I am now waiting for Kampala City Council to tell us the best way to use the faecal manure and I will apply it too. Probably, the plantation will improve even much faster," says Ms Mugerwa.
Henry Mugerwa, the health supervisor of Kampala City Council allays fears that produce fertilised with urine is not hygienic.
"It is safe to consume them, once you apply the manure following the recommended instructions," he says, adding that the results of the six-months study conducted by Kampala City Council Health Department in collaboration with Makerere University's Micro-biology department under the Faculty of Public Health and the Soil Science department under the Faculty of Agriculture, indicated that properly sanitised urine and faecal material is safe for use as manure.
"Actually, two weeks after the urine has been passed out and kept in a tightly closed container, all the disease causing pathogens will be dead. Keeping the urine in tightly closed containers raises the pH in the urine to a level where disease causing pathogens cannot survive. And for the faecal matter, the most stubborn pathogens, the ascaris die off with in a period of four to six months," says Mugerwa.
For purposes of eliminating any doubt and managing the attitude problem, we recommend six months of faecal stay in a closed sanitisation chamber which is well ventilated to enhance evaporation and drying of the matter.
It is advised that wood ash is added whenever one finishes defecating. The tissue used and the ash absorb the humidity to not only eliminate odour and flies but also speed up the drying process. So, at six months, the faeces are totally hygienic and will have turned into soil, ready to apply.
According to Azuba, by the closure of the Ecological Sanitation Project in September last year, experimenting with the use of faecal material on farms had not yet been done because the manure had not yet reached the usable stage.
"We arranged with Makerere University's faculty of Agriculture to undertake the experiments on our behalf and establish the right ratios to be applied on to the different crops.
We intend to disseminate the findings to our partners as soon as possible," she says. At the same time, Nezikokolima Farmers Group has also started vaccinating their pigs against swine fever by giving them human urine once in a while.
According to Nalongo Tyaba, the Communications Officer of the group, they learnt about this treatment from their fellow farmers during one of the farmer to farmer extension visits. After careful considerations and learning about the precautionary measures, they resolved to try the idea.
"It is effective. Actually, since we started using the urine, our pigs have survived several attacks of swine fever that killed many of our neighbours' pigs who do not use it," Tyaba says.
Jessica Kalema, the secretary of the group said that the good results realised since they started using urine on their crops and animals have encouraged them to mobilise funds from amongst the group members, to facilitate the construction of an Ecological sanitation toilet for one of the nearby schools to supply sufficient quantities of urine.
Later, as funds allow, each of the members will construct one in their respective homes to cater for the gap that may be created when schools close for holidays.

The International Relations of the Contemporary Middle East
Subordination and Beyond
Edited by Tareq Y. Ismael, Glenn E. Perry
Routledge – 2013 – 304 pages
Routledge – 2013 – 304 pages
The Middle East, a few decades ago, was seen to be an autonomous subsystem of the global international political system. More recently, the region has been subordinated to the hegemony of a singular superpower, the US, bolstered by an alliance with Israel and a network of Arab client states.
The subordination of the contemporary Middle East has resulted in large part from the disappearance of countervailing forces, for example, global bipolarity, that for a while allowed the Arab world in particular to exercise a modicum of flexibility in shaping its international relations.The aspirations of the indigenous population of the Middle East have been stifled by the dynamics of the unequal global power relationships, and domestic politics of the countries of the region are regularly subordinated to the prerogatives of international markets and the strategic competition of the great powers.
Employing the concept of imperialism, defined as a pattern of alliances between a center (rulers) in the Center (developed) country and a center (client regime) in the Periphery (underdeveloped country) - as an overall framework to analyse the subordination of the region, this book is essential reading for students and scholars of the Middle East, International Relations, and Politics in general.
Part I Broad Patterns 1 Toward a framework for analysis 2 Imperialism and its manifestations in the Middle East – William W. Haddad and Jasamin Rostam-Kolayi Part II The Center in an Age of Inequality 3 The United States: a hegemon challenged – Stephen Zunes 4 Israel: the limits of conventional and nuclear deterrence – Ghada Talhami Part III Potential Counterbalancing Forces 5 Post-revolutionary Iran: resisting global and regional hegemony- Mojtaba Mahdavi 6 Egypt: the continuing storm?- Karen Abul 7 Turkey under the AKP: axis change or pragmatic activism- Tozun Bahcheli 8 "Identity politics": Europe, the EU and the Arab Spring- Philip Marfleet and Fran Cetti 9 The United Nations and the Middle East: a guide for the perplexed – Richard Falk
Tareq Y. Ismael is Professor of Political Science at the University of Calgary, Canada and is the Secretary General of the International Association of Middle Eastern Studies. He has published extensively on the Middle East, Iraq and international studies. His most recent works include Government and Politics in the Contemporary Middle East: Continuity and Change, with Jacqueline S. Ismael (Routledge 2011), and The Sudanese Communist Party: Ideology and Party Politics (Routledge, 2012).

Re: iPhone Plans
i dont think theres any need to alter the iphone plans. If you want an iphone, thats what you have to pay. Its the same as any other data phone and theres no competition from other carriers(yet). If/when another carrier gets it and decides to charge less for data than maybe at&t would consider changing it. As it is theres too much stress on the network coming from all the 3G users with iphones, i dont think they want to encourage more users.

Interventional Systems
This theme is about developing systems that integrate the technologies in all the previous themes to deliver integrated front-line therapies and interventions. Current examples exist in Image Guided Therapy and Surgical Systems, which have emerged as one of the most exciting multi-disciplinary applications of medical imaging science.
However, the theme potentially includes other future large-scale systems that exploit the whole imaging pipeline to deliver diagnosis and treatment integrated into the patient workflow. Novel intra-operative imaging and sensing, combined with plans derived from pre-operative imaging and patient specific computational models of anatomy and function at multiple scales are already making significant clinical impact with progress towards clinical translation in many other areas.
At UCL we have built a significant research programme with major projects in laparoscopic surgery, prostate interventions and neurosurgery, EU grants in breast surgery and robotics.
We have access to a wide range of clinical and research facilities and unique developments in for example intra-operative photoacoustics and ultrasound. A key challenge is the integration of real-time systems that are safe, robust and effective in the complex, safety-critical environment of the operating room or interventional suite.
Research areas include data fusion of information obtained pre-operatively and intra-operatively to guide procedures in real time; accurate modelling of tissue deformation to ensure validity of 3D navigation; visualisation and integration of navigation systems within a complex surgical environment, providing safe and effective operation for the whole surgical team; integration of novel, intra-operative tissue sensing, functional probes and imaging devices such as confocal microscopy, high resolution ultrasound, photoacoustic probes, elastography, molecular sensors etc.; and development of surgical instrumentation, telemanipulation and mechatronics for neonatal surgery and fetal surgery.

This was a new 4500 w/ 7xx miles on it when I picked it up, 17xx when I dropped it off. Mileage might improve w/ break-in.
It had a wide box on the back, but did have the "aero roof" above the cab.
Don't remember the axle ratio, but I think it was the "lower" one. That's what they usually buy.
Highway speeds, 65-70 all the way, but since I was running down the Mississippi Valley on I-55 it was mostly flatlands.
But I do remember it pulling well through the southern Missouri hills before I dropped down into Arkansas.
The 6-speed auto was sweet. Shifted well and at the right time. Didn't hunt, hold too long, or hesitate.
My guess the 3/4-ton w/ the same drivetrain would do 20 mpg. Might be some reviews out there with actual mileage seen on the 3500 standard body diesel van.

If you have an irrevocable trust, can you never sell your house if things change?
If you put a house in an irrevocable trust does that mean the owner may never decide to sell the house if matters change?
If you put your house in an irrevocable trust, that means the trust owns the house. Period. "Irrevocable" means what it says""can not be changed. Whether the house can besold by the trust depends on whether the trust document permits that or not. Even if the house can be sold, the proceeds must remain in the trust. Whether those proceeds can be used to buy a new house again depends on the terms of the trust.
I do not know why you are considering putting your house into an irrevocable trust. Generally, there is no reason to do this. You can put your house into a revocable living trust in order to avoid probate. Because that trust is revocable, you can remove the house from the trust at any time, and sell the house as you wish.
Be sure that you understand the drawbacks, and benefits if any, of putting your house into an irrevocable trust. Only if you decide that somehow, for you, there wold be substantial benefits that outweigh the drawbacks should you put your house into an irrevocable trust.
Your trustee can sell your house for you. And the money can be withdraw at any time so don't be afraid of an irrevocable trust.
The reason you put assests into a irrocable trust is to save them from being seized by nursing homes or medicare if you or your spouse has to enter a nursing home. The look back period is 5 years so keep that in mind.

Japanese Korean San Francisco Seafood Steak Thai Vietnamese
"So why did we bother writing on Buffalo Chow about a food court in San Francisco? Westfield's Food Emporium shows what the future of convenience dining could be here."
To some, the very idea of eating at a food court is repulsive: at most malls, these collections of chain mini-restaurants serve little more than fourth-rate sustenance to keep local workers alive long enough for their next shifts. But there are legitimately good - even great - food courts, at least, outside of Western New York. We were stuck in one for six meals this past week as we traveled on business to San Francisco, California, and though it can't come close to dethroning our favorite such collective venue (Singapore's Lau Pa Sat), the Westfield Food Emporium demonstrates how setting higher culinary standards, slightly higher prices, and superior levels of sanitation can transform lowest common denominator dining into something upscale and worthwhile.
The Westfield Shopping Centre on Market Street in San Francisco is only blocks away from the Moscone Center, which we typically visit several times a year on Apple-related business for iLounge. Years ago, we tended to return too often to cramped dining quarters at Sony's nearby Metreon, but more recently stumbled across the Food Emporium, a collection of much nicer restaurants at the basement level of Westfield's anchor tenant Bloomingdale's. They are joined by a reasonably sized, contiguous seating area where the tables are cleared of dishes as you eat, then wiped down when you leave; this keeps them surprisingly immaculate by food court standards. Pleased by our initial visit, we've subsequently stopped by once or twice per trip, but this week, our colleagues just wanted to keep going back, giving us the unusual opportunity to work through quite a few of the restaurants found inside. Here are the meal highlights, with desserts in a separate article.
Coriander Gourmet Thai: Our favorite restaurant at the Food Emporium is this legitimately good Thai place, which mightn't live up to its Gourmet billing but certainly takes the cuisine more seriously than any other food court Thai shop we've seen in the U.S. As you stand in the inevitable line in front of the attractively designed, wood and steel counter area, you're presented with a selection of numerous, attractive metal heating vessels filled with recently-prepared dishes: eggplant and tofu, green curry chicken, spicy basil chicken, pumpkin curry chicken, pad thai, rendeng beef curry, tom yum soup, and many others, alongside white and fried rices. In our many experiences at Coriander, everything's at least good, and sometimes better; we ordered a two-item combo of soft, beautiful Eggplant and Tofu plus crispy, sweet Spicy Basil Chicken for $9.50, and added a nice if slightly thin Green Curry Chicken for $3.50 more. Each item was tasty, if not perfectly fresh; the real superstar was an open container of dried Thai hot pepper off to the side of the counter, available to give any dish you order an authentic kick of spice. This may well be the best such spice additive on the planet, preserving both heat and crispiness even when it's submerged in a curry, giving dishes sub-baby tooth-sized pockets of zing. Coriander was a close second in popularity to Buckhorn Grill, below, but certainly was our top pick on flavor; it's fantastic by food court standards.
Buckhorn Grill: Quite possibly the most popular restaurant amongst our group of five people, Buckhorn Grill hooks passers-by with a tray of cube-shaped medium rare tri-tip samples that are so surprisingly succulent that even our steak-saturated palates were enticed to try a meal here; after one sample each on the first day, it seemed like hardly a meal passed without someone bringing back a Buckhorn sandwich or plate of meat. As one location of a small, Northern California-based chain, Buckhorn Grill's menu consists primarily of thin- or thick-sliced Angus tri-tip and chicken breasts, each marinated for juiciness and flavor, then assembled into either sub-style sandwiches or plates of meat with sides. We really enjoyed the 10-ounce Dad's Cut of thick-sliced, Char-Roasted Sirloin Tri-Tip ($16; a 6-ounce plate is $13), served with grilled vegetables and mashed potatoes, plus a properly-named Traditional Caesar Salad (side portion, $4.50; full, $7), with an authentic, creamy dressing. Comrades kept going back for the Chipotle Border Buck ($7), a thin-sliced tri-tip sandwich with a mix of spicy chipotle sauce and pepper jack cheese, as well as other heavily-sauced sandwiches. Thanks in large part to the meats, everything we tasted here was good; Buckhorn's marinade recipe and preparation transform the typically lowly tri-tip cut into something consistently and surprisingly delicious. Now we know that it's possible.
Mr. Hana: To call Mr. Hana bad would be a little severe, but by the standards of its competitors at Westfield, this limited menu Japanese restaurant is a definite pass due to high prices and nothing special food. While we ordered the Teppanyaki plate ($11) this time - a dish with cooked prawns, steak, and chicken served under a teriyaki glaze and over white rice - it was more to see whether Mr. Hana actually excelled at anything than out of real interest in the items; we'd previously tried and been unimpressed by other, more traditional Japanese dishes here, such as the Unagi (Eel) Bowl and Spicy Tuna Bowl. Our Teppanyaki was forgettable, leaving us hungry, and all of the items here seem to have too much rice and too little flavor for their relatively high prices. The only good thing we've had here was a bowl of seaweed salad, which was far more generous than we'd expected for the $3 asking price. Still, we won't be going back; $15 with tax is a lot to pay for a nothing special meal.
Out The Door: Located in one corner of the food court but not truly a part of it, Out The Door is actually a satellite location of San Francisco's well-known Vietnamese restaurant The Slanted Door. Tastefully and impressively decorated with different modern interior walls and stainless steel tables, Out The Door serves a very short menu of largely Vietnamese classics - Pho soup, Bun vermicelli noodles, Spring (Imperial, fried) Rolls and Summer (unfried) Rolls - from a somewhat pricey but generally authentic menu. A pork version of the room temperature noodle dish Bun ($10.50) arrived absolutely loaded with perfectly grilled, marinated meat, atop a very fresh bowl of bean sprouts, sliced lettuce, scallions, and thin white rice noodles; beef ($11.50) and chicken ($10.50) versions ordered by our group were a little less generous on their meats but otherwise substantially the same. The overpriced Imperial Rolls ($8.50) arrived with lettuce, mint, and vermicelli to make wraps, but the deep-fried pork and rice paper rolls themselves were light on flavor, aided only by the traditional sour dipping sauce. There wasn't anything wrong or especially great about our meal here, the second or third we've had at Out The Door with similar results, but we love the venue; it's worth visiting if you're with a group that needs guaranteed seating and attendants, or after you've had, say, four other recent meals in the food court.
Sorabol Korean BBQ & Asian Noodles: Last but not least of the bunch was Sorabol, a better than decent, small California-based chain Korean restaurant location. Much like Coriander, Sorabol serves you from a collection of mostly pre-prepared dishes on a nice-looking steam table; the items are worth noting more for the fact that they're capable of being served in this way at all than that they're especially good. This is a place where you can assemble a plate of Kalbi beef short ribs, spicy pork Dwaeji Bulgogi, and similarly spicy sliced squid and vegetable Ojingo Bokum, described here as spicy stir fried calamari, for around $12, thus, we did. As on previous visits, the food was a 2.5 out of 4 by absolute standards, the chewy, slightly sesame oiled Kalbi obviously not fresh off the grill and the other items possessing maintenance warmth rather than that of a broiler or pan. It was all very edible, but not memorably good. Yet seen in the context of food court food, which has certain timeliness requirements and diminished quality expectations relative to what you'd expect from a sit-down restaurant, Sorabol's offerings are more like a standout 3 out of 4. We've actually had worse meals at more expensive Korean places in Buffalo, say nothing of the supposedly cheap ones, which serve meals for about the same prices you'll pay here. By comparison, the only things missing are the typical Korean side dishes, here offered as a "salad" as a $3.50 add-on. We'd revisit again, but Coriander is a stronger option for Asiaphiles.
Other Notes: Though we were genuinely interested in other restaurants here, including the intriguingly upscale Andale Mexican Restaurant and Asqew Grill, we weren't willing to shell out premium prices for their offerings; the latter place's multicultural skewered meats merely made us lust for the real things at other venues in the Emporium. Catch Isle, a seafood restaurant, seriously disappointed a member of our group who went for a Shrimp Sandwich, and Bristol Farms, a large specialty grocer located immediately next to the Emporium, also caught our eyes but not our dollars with a wide variety of fresh and pre-prepared foods, many on steam tables or under heat lamps.
So why did we bother writing on Buffalo Chow about a food court located in San Francisco? Simple; Westfield's Food Emporium shows what the future of convenience dining could be here, and certainly will be elsewhere: rather than large chains of mediocre little restaurants like Panda Express, you could be eating at one venue from a smaller chain of pretty good shops run by people who aim to deliver something closer to a real restaurant experience, minus the wait staff. The food, rather than gravitating towards bland pizzas and McDonald's, could easily - well, with some work and the right entrepreneurs - switch over to wood-fired dough and steakhouse-quality sandwiches, a way for tired restauranteurs to get away from focusing on the service and come back to making really good food. Our bills averaged $15 per restaurant, which is high by food court standards, yet our group kept coming back for more; this is the sign of a business strategy that works. All Western New York really needs to make this happen is the right venue, near a critical mass of customers. Will we be so lucky?

Discussion in 'Chicago Fire' started by Stogey23, Mar 19, 2012.
There are PLENTY of those type of players. Problem is finding one that would want to play for the Fire.
So Ivica Oilic is available... Where are you Frankie
I'd be very surprised if Andy decided to spend any sponsorship money on a DP. That Quaker-cash could be his first ever profit margin, which is the only thing he wants from the team he bought.
If all you're after is profit, buying an MLS franchise is a pretty stupid way to go about it. It seems more likely that making a profit is NOT the reason he bought this team, and that you're just being a negative nancy.
Lets get a guy who knows how to score.
Don Draper?

I wish we could get Drogba. He's been playing inconsistent in the EPL, time for a scenic change to Chicago!!!
I wish we could get the entire Spanish mens national team.
I also want a pony.
One of these things is expensive and high maintenance.
The other is a pony
Drogba actually is willing to leave after this season though........
I wouldn't do it. The year may be profitable because of the jersey sponsor money, but he will still lack a ROI on the amount spent on the actual sale. I have no idea how many more profitable years he or any other owner of the Fire would have to have in order to have profited a cent.
I couldn't justify DP money.
I had called a press conference for Noon today to announce that I had tendered a very attractive offer to Andrew to buy the Fire.
Unfortunately, my financing through Mega Millions fell through.
I think Drogba is 5 million a year guy, I think we're ready to pay 2 million.
Maybe in China or the UAE. I don't think he would command that much if he wants to stay in Europe. I would pay him 2 mil a year to play here, but I'd want it to be year by year with a club option and I don't think he would go for that.
Okay. If he didn't buy the team to make a profit, why did he buy it? That sounds like a good question for someone to ask him at the Town Hall. It's not like he is some home-town guy who dreamed of owning the Fire since he was a kid.
Think back to when he bought the team. We had Blanco. Jersey sales and ticket sales (albeit not season tickets) were through the roof. I stand by my assertion that he expected at some point to turn a profit.
The way he would make a profit is by selling on at a later date, not by running in the black each year. Reports say that he bought the club for $35 million 5 years ago, and now MLS is expecting $75-100 million for the next expansion team.
I wouldn't buy a team that continues to lose money and ticket buyers each year. So what you are saying is that a team *that doesn't even exist yet* is worth far more money than the Fire? LOL
There's more to owning an MLS franchise than just the profit/loss for the club. In fact, the "owner" only owns 49% of the club, along with a share of the league and SUM. The league owns 51% of each franchise, IIRC.
I don't think anyone would argue that a share in MLS isn't worth more now than it was when Andrew bought in.
a delusional paranoid schizophrenic might, just a guess
Help...must spread rep....
got it, but now someone has to cover me
DP as in "double penetration"? Yup, that's the owners view us lot.

White deposit on flatware and glasses
For some unknown reason, my dishwasher, which has always worked well, has left a hard, white deposit on my flatware, glasses, and stainless pots. I haven't switched detergents or made any changes in the water supply. I use the type of detergent that is not supposed to harm or cloud up glasses, etc.
The deposit is difficult to remove without scratching the surface of the utensils and glasses. Any suggestions?

Clearwater, FL (PRWEB) November 08, 2013
Runaware announces the release of its new no-download platform called BetaDrive offering big benefits to both software developers and users.
The latest technology in software marketing offers software makers a new opportunity: minimal disruption to the user's production environment while easily providing data about the beta back to the software developer.
For the users, gone are the days of beta tests requiring downloads, installs, uninstalls and possible data loss while doing intensive testing of new software versions.
Using BetaDrive means earlier, installed versions of the software developer's program are untouched, which means no disruption to the user. Data entered into the BetaDrive version will remain intact. Other platforms permit only temporary sessions, and when the user logs out, the platform permanently deletes the user's data.
"We are very pleased to offer our unique BetaDrive platform. It allows full access to a new beta version of a software program in the cloud without the user being required to do a download. No download, no uninstall of previous versions. The user can come and go at will and when the user logs off, all of their data is preserved even up to the point they decide to install the new version on their production machine," says Sam Licciardi, Runaware's President.
Key benefits of BetaDrive include:
