Yeah... the problem is that they are not on the same network, and can't really
be on the same network per policy... unless I can get them both on a third,
ad-hoc wireless network.

Aika Moriyama looked morosely out of the window of her mother's van. Other cars, some with children and some without, whizzed by.
"I don't want to go to summer camp," she whispered.
"What was that?" said her mother, not taking her eyes off the road.
"I..." Aika stopped herself just in time.
Her parents were divorced, and her mother was slowly losing more and more of her paycheque. It had been an ordeal and a great deal of haggling before her mother had finally found a camp she could afford. Aika had protested, saying she didn't mind not attending a camp, but her mother insisted.
So she kept her mouth shut.
"Oh, Aika!" said her mother, as if she suddenly remembered something. "Do you know who will be at this camp?"
"Who?" said Aika, turning her head away from the window and actually looking at her mother.
"Naomi Ishida!"
Aika rolled her eyes. Aika's mother was an old friend of Naomi's mother, and she would always try to get the two to befriend each other.
"And you know who else?"
"Tell me."
Aika's mother frowned. "You may not remember him."
"Just tell me anyways."
They had come off the highway and made a stop. Aika's mother looked at her daughter with some uncertainty. "You remember Taisuke Motomiya, don't you?"
Aika blushed slightly as her mother looked away. Taisuke...he was one of her friends. They had known each other through her father for a few years now.
After a long silence, Aika's mother announced, "We're here."
It had been three days since camp had started and Jou Motomiya was already bored. He and his two brothers had all been split up. There was nothing to do, really, though there was a schedule. However, Jou didn't really find canoe races and messy clay sculpture classes endurable for the next month or so.
His brother Taisuke pulled on his sleeve as he was finishing his lunch. "Jou, come outside right now! I think we're going to the digital world!"
Their father Daisuke had told many stories about the digital world, and V-mon had lived with them. They had always wanted to go, but Daisuke said it wouldn't be necessary.
"What makes you say that, huh?"
"Well, for one thing, what else makes the sky open up?"
Jou dashed outside, his younger brother on his heels. Sure enough, there was a hole in the sky and a reflection of another world inside.
"How are we gonna get up there, onii?"
Jou's youngest brother Yukito joined his brothers. "Jump," he said naively.
Taisuke laughed. "Yeah, we'll jump."
Jou raised his eyebrows. But he jumped...
...and was sucked up by the gate!
The other children observing the portal gaped. Then Yukito and Taisuke jumped as well. They were sucked up.
Four other children did as well, then the gate closed.
She sat back in her quarters. She gestured to the tall Digimon in the corner, telling him to move closer.
"Well, Spademon," she said in a low voice, "what shall we do today?"
"I am fresh out of ideas," replied the digimon. "Why don't you choose, Misao?"
Misao was on her feet in a flash. She pulled a sword out of a sheath attached to her belt. "Don't you ever call me that again," she hissed menacingly, the tip touching Spademon's throat. "I am not Misao Ichijouji anymore. I am the master of all of this land, just as my late uncle would have become and my father would have remained, had he not been so nice!" On the last word Misao violently stabbed her sword into the ground. "I posess all the digimentals. I have the fragments of the crests
Apoclymon destroyed. I have power. Am I to suffer the same fate as my father?"
"No, milady," said Spademon. "I have opened up a portal to the real world, the same camp that the first Chosen Children attended. I will find you new prey."
One of the several computer screens flashed. "Seven people have just entered," said Spademon smugly.
"Seven?" shrieked Misao. "There were more than eleven chosen children. Is that all you can do?"
"N-no!" said Spademon, running to the computer controls. "I will find more. I promise!"
"Good." Misao sat onto her chair again. "Spademon, where are the other digimon?"
"They are downstairs discussing what to do with the children once they are all rounded up, milady."
"Bring them up here." Misao smirked as Spademon left. It was so easy sometimes...
Sally looked at the sheer number of clothes strewn about the room in awe. And not one was just right for her mother.
"Mom," she said, "it's just a picnic. Can't you just throw something on and leave it at that?"
"I haven't seen Koushiro Izumi for...I don't know how long," said Mimi. "I don't want him to start thinking I'm a frump!"
"Heaven forbid," said Sally, rolling her eyes to the ceiling. Mimi threw a pillow at her daughter.
"Sally, this is really important to me, so stay out of it," she said. "Is all the food packed?"
"Yes, yes, and yes. Mom, we've checked it already three times. That's how long you've been taking."
"Okay, okay, I get the point!" Mimi sighed emphatically. "So what do you think I should wear, Sally?"
"That, on the floor right there, near the right edge of the coffee table." Sally pointed to the garment.
Mimi put it on, twirled around a few times in front of the mirror, and sighed again. "I guess this will do."
Suddenly Sally disappeared.
"Misao, how are you doing?" a voice purred from behind Misao's chair.
"Three, I'm busy right now," said Misao.
"You don't look busy. And you haven't seen me in so long...."
"Stop it, Three," said Misao with a dangerous glint in her eyes. "I've got this sword for a reason."
"Yes, it's for threatening that weak partner digimon of yours," purred Three. "I, however, react to idle threats with something more substantial."
"Spademon is not weak," said Misao, insulted. "I raised him myself from a Kadomon. You call him weak?"
"Yes, since I have my newest experiment with me."
"And that is?"
Three came into view, a tall, leggy woman with long hair in a trenchcoat. In her hand she had a Yukimibotamon, fast asleep.
"Oh, how cute," said Misao with sarcasm. "I bet it could knock Spademon for a loop."
"That's why I came here," said Three sweetly. "Misao, could you be a dear and let me borrow the digimental of Light?"
"Why would I do that?"
"Two words...dark star..."
Misao remembered the evil device with some wrath. The dark star could tap into your thoughts and alter them or use them against you. She had been the first victim of the machine when Three had felt particularly vicious for not being allowed to borrow a shattered Courage crest.
"Fine," she said at last with some reluctancy, "take it. Provided you show me the results."
"Oh, I'll do more than that," said Three. "Why, I'll even return the digimental."
"How kind," said Misao dryly. She got up and pressed a few buttons on her control panel, then the table with the digimentals appeared.
Three removed the Light digimental gently and placed it next to the digimon in her hand.
"You will not regret this," said Three as she turned around to leave.
"I think I already am," muttered Misao when Three was out of earshot.
"So let me go over this again: Your name is Kitsumon, and you weren't destined to be my partner digimon?" said Yukito. "This contradicts all I've heard from my dad."
"Yeah, well, so be it like that," said the fox-eared digimon. "You found me, and now I'm yours!"
"So it works just like that?" Yukito snapped his fingers.
"Hey, don't snap your fingers!" yelled Kitsumon, alarmed.
Three shadowy figures appeared in the tall grass. They walked through and Yukito saw it was his two brothers and--
"Aika Moriyama?"
"Okay, what's the gag?" said Aika angrily. On her head was a small sparrow-like digimon who chirruped happily.
"What gag?"
"What did you guys do to get all the way up here? This is some good trick. It must have cost you. So confess!"
"We didn't do anything, Aika!" said Jou.
"But didn't you pull me here by some force?"
"Well, I did just snap my fingers, but..."
"Really? Like this?" Aika snapped her fingers. Jou, Taisuke and Yukito found themselves pulled towards her, and even the digimon on her head flew into her hand.
"That's the signal for help," said the bird digimon.
"And who are you again?" said Aika.
"Sparramon, oh rude one."
Taisuke giggled. Aika shot him a withering look.
"So why are you here?" said Kitsumon, trying to settle Aika down.
"Dunno..." Jou kicked the ground and stubbed his toe. "There-was-a-portal-in-the-sky," he said, hopping about and holding his sore foot.
"Don't be such an idiot," said Aika, but she couldn't resist smiling.
Jou's digimon, a small fluffy sphere with a long, sleek tail like Kitsumon's, narrowed its eyes.
"It must have been the Digimon Empress," it hissed.
"And you are?" said Aika.
"Furmon, who has gone previously unnoticed."
"So...Furmon, Kitsumon, Sparramon and...?" Taisuke counted on his fingers as he named the digimon, then looked up at the tiny white puff on his head.
"Demihalomon," said the digimon. "Please t' meecha."
"So, Furmon, who's this Digimon Empress?"
"She claims to be the daughter of some Kaizer or other."
"The Digimon Kaizer!" said Yukito, eyes wide.
"Ken!" said Jou and Taisuke in unison.
"You know this Kaizer?" Tinimon's eyes narrowed again. "How do I know I can trust you?"
"We're not related to him, and he's good now, anyways," said Jou.
"Oh. Anyways..."
"She's really awful!" Demihalomon cut in. "She thinks she rules all of us. She has these things called digimentals and shattered crests."
"I'm older than all of you," said Sparramon, "and I remember when there was no Digimon whatsit. It was wonderful."
"Shh!" said Yukito. Sparramon shut his beak tight.
"What the...?" muttered Aika.
"I hear movement," Yukito whispered back. Everyone stood still.
They heard a girl mutter in English, "If Palmon was here, she'd tell me where to go. Instead I'm lost."
"Palmon?" said Kitsumon.
Sally pushed through the last bit of grass. Standing in front of her now were four children, three boys and a girl. They all had digimon with them.
"And who are you?" she said. When they didn't respond she repeated in Japanese.
"I'm Jou Motomiya," said the tallest boy, "and this is my brother Taisuke, my brother Yukito and Aika."
"Aika is your sister?" said Sally.
"No, just a friend," said Aika.
"My name is Sal--Sayaka." She realized it would be unwise to risk getting laughed at if she had said her English name.
"Pleased to meet you, Sayaka."
A tiny cat popped its head and tail out of Sayaka's breast pocket.
"Hello," it said sweetly. "I'm Amemon."
"So what are we all doing here?"
"Is that the million-dollar question?" said Aika with a sigh.
"I still think it's the Digimon Empress," squeaked Demihalomon.
"Let's go find that idiot!" said Yukito, nearly dropping his digimon.
"They should be headed this way right now," said a muscled wolf digimon, staring hungrily at the radar screen.
A tall masked digimon with wings smirked. "Now, now, Lupumon, we're not going to eat them right now."
"No, there will be none of that," said Misao. "You do not eat chosen children. You torture them."
"How?" said Lupumon.
"Hmmm, how shall I list the ways?" said a robotic dragon. "Starvation, forcing them to listen to Spademon..."
"I resent that!" said Spademon from the corner.
"So are we all here?" said the masked digimon.
"Check," said Misao automatically.
"Gigamon, Lupumon, Eaglemon, Butterflymon--that's me--Thornmon, Tortomon, Archangemon, Spademon and--hey, where's Scythemon?"
Spademon shuddered at the mention of the evil digimon's name. Scythemon was the most fearsome of the Digital Council, the nine main digimon that aided and advised Misao, though he was just a shadowy ball.
"He's on his way," said Thornmon, a cute-looking vine-haired girl. "Just seeing over Three's latest experiment."
Archangemon sniggered into his hand. "Three's latest experiment. What's it gonna be, Mutant Yukimibotamon?"
Misao shook her head, but she smiled as well. "Now, now, Archangemon, don't make fun of my older sister."
"Nice sister YOU ended up with!" muttered Eaglemon.

That doesn't mean the company will sink, I just can't see them going and making products that "wow" us for a while.
For the people knocking iOS 6. What were you expecting? Apple to change their entire UI that every mobile phone users knows how to use, and with ease? They are never going to do that. They're not Android, they don't have to change the look and feel of the software at every ****ing release. Fragmentation at Apple is pretty much non-existent. If you're still using a 3x model device, you need to upgrade, or you need to stop whining about no more updates.
Apple is very much alive and very strong, and will continue to do what they do for a long time yet.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- J.J. Redick had 16 points and Nikola Vucevic added 12 points and 17 rebounds to help the Orlando Magic hold off the Golden State Warriors 99-85 on Friday night. The Magic led by as many as 20 before having their lead trimmed to 10 points late. But they connected on nine 3-pointers to help secure the win. Andrew Nicholson added 15 points and nine rebounds. The victory snaps a four-game home losing streak for the Magic, who have won eight of their past nine against the Warriors. Stephen Curry led Golden State with 25 points and David Lee had 24. Golden State had its five-game win streak ended. The Warriors conclude their seven-game road trip Saturday in Atlanta. The Warriors cut Orlando's 16-point halftime lead to nine late in the third quarter, before watching the Magic make three straight 3-pointers as part of an 11-0 run to push it 20. Orlando's hot shooting carried into the fourth and helped it fend off a late Warriors' run that cut the Magic's lead to ...

Seymour Duncan Lava Box
The latest addition to Seymour Duncan's growing stompbox range is this molten beast of a fuzz. In addition to gain and volume, you get the six-position rumble knob, which adds progressively more low-end.
Build quality is high as we expect from SD – including true bypass switching – although there's no quick way of changing the single 9-volt battery.
The best adjectives to describe the Lava Box's sounds are 'thick' and 'smooth'. With the gain control in its upper reaches and one
of the higher rumble settings selected, there's a tidal wave of monstrous, fuzzy distortion on offer. In fact it's ideal for swampy, stoner-rock riffing: Kyuss, Melvins, Soundgarden and the like.
The rumble control spans thin-ish and honky, through to way more bass content than some humbuckers can handle, so beware. Strat-style single coils benefit from the chunk, of course.
The Lava Box is also very dynamic; turn down your guitar's volume and it cleans up almost musically – not normal at all for a fuzz pedal! It's not as aggressive as, say, a Big Muff, but then it's nowhere near as noisy either; background noise levels are perfectly good for a pedal of this nature.
MusicRadar Rating
An abundance of heavy fuzz; plenty of level boost.
Fiddly battery access, gets very bassy, very quickly.
Tonal purists beware: the Lava Box stamps its authority all over your sound. Step on it and you might find that a previously timid Strat bridge pickup becomes a fearsome fuzz-rock monster.
Available Controls
5 Way Blade Pickup Selector Switch Gain Low True Bypass Volume
Battery/Adaptor Type
9V Battery
Manufacturer's Description
The Lava Box is not an ordinary Mosfet distortion/overdrive effect pedal. It actually reacts more like a great amp than a stompbox, with the depth and dynamics that give well-made amps so much character.

Pullout of U.S. Forces from S. Korea Demanded
| Pyongyang, June 20 (KCNA) -- The South Headquarters of the Pan-national Alliance for Korea's Reunification issued a statement on June 13, nine years since two schoolgirls Sin Hyo Sun and Sim Mi Son were mercilessly killed by the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces in south Korea.
The statement recalled that the U.S. forces drove an armored car over the two schoolgirls on roadside to death in June 2002.
Crimes by the U.S. forces in south Korea continue without letup such as murder, violence, robbery, environment pollution and war maneuvers, it charged.
This year alone witnessed the case of outrage on an old couple in Tongduchon of Kyonggi Province and defoliant burial cases, now being disclosed one after another, the statement noted, saying: They fully reveal the true colors of the vicious U.S. forces depending on war of aggression and plunder.
It expressed the resentment at the reality in which the pro-American sycophantic and treacherous forces are defending the U.S. forces' crimes under the unequal south Korea-U.S. "Status of Forces Agreement" while cracking down on the popular masses aspiring after independence against the U.S.
All the people will pool their efforts to wage a dynamic struggle to achieve independence against the U.S. and punish the treacherous regime and thus remove the U.S. military bases, hotbed of crimes, and drive out the U.S. troops from south Korea without fail, the statement said.

Anywhere But Here
Although Occupation: Dreamland was filmed entirely in Falluja, only two of its three main settings are Iraqi. Those places are the shadowless streets, their bleached yellow walls huddling together on a dusty plain, seen in long shot during daylight hours; and the murky interiors of houses, shot after sundown with a nightscope to yield shaky, close-up, glowing-green views. The third principal setting, by contrast, might as well be a lamp-lit American dormitory, cluttered with rumpled beds and wallpapered with pinup photos. This is the barracks of the 82nd Airborne's Alpha Company, 1/505.
Here the soldiers feel sufficiently at home to talk about their discomfort--their contempt, despair and rage--at stepping into foreign spaces. "I was never out of the country before, except for booze runs to fuckin' Mexico," marvels Pfc. Thomas Turner, expressing a commonly held sense of disbelief. Like many of his buddies, he says he never imagined that enlistment in the Army would result in his being sent to someplace strange and dangerous. You have no cause to doubt that his frayed ingenuousness is real, or that Sgt. Eric Forbes is voicing an equally common response to this posting when he says of Falluja, "I hate these people."
Forbes makes that comment soon after a fellow soldier has died in a roadside bombing, so you may take the remark as no more than situational. Forbes seems to have no existential loathing for Iraqis--in fact, he describes them as caught haplessly in the way, as the United States lunges for oil--but whatever hostility he's sparked in Falluja, he will return it, and with twice the firepower. At their most gung-ho, soldiers like Forbes think of combat as a release from the tension of policing the Iraqis. "I like bein' shot at. It makes it interesting," claims Staff Sgt. Ryan Mish, who says that sometimes "I just want to light everybody up." On the more mature end of the scale, the soldiers regard the occupation as an end in itself, self-perpetuating and self-enclosed. "What are we securing here?" asks Capt. Terence Caliguire at a staff briefing. "We're securing essentially ourselves. So what are we protecting? I don't know."
Shot in January and February 2004 by Garrett Scott and Ian Olds, this admirably direct and spare documentary is the second feature released this year to record the lives of American soldiers in Iraq. It follows Petra Epperlein and Michael Tucker's Gunner Palace, which was shot in Baghdad at almost the same time (autumn 2003-winter 2004), and which focused on soldiers in the 2/3 Field Artillery. At the risk of sounding heartless, I will describe Gunner Palace as the more entertaining of the films. It dwells on the surrealism of the Field Artillery's having billeted itself in a bombed-out pleasure palace, and it makes the most of the soldiers' desire to play to the camera. Freestyle rappers, poets and platoon flakes are much in evidence. Also, while it presents a thoroughly unsentimental view of the war, Gunner Palace gives a varied account of the occupiers. You sometimes see them trying hard to help Iraqis; you witness moments of generosity and even tenderness.
Occupation: Dreamland is a drier experience, and a more somber one. Its lightest scene records how one GI tries good-heartedly to converse in phrase-book Arabic, despite getting stuck at "Salaam aleikum." In a more touching sequence, Spc. Patrick Napoli uses an Army manual to drill his squad in sign language. The soldiers work hard at it, and Napoli expresses pride in momentarily being a leader. But he adds, "I'm in Iraq. It's a little late for a sign language class."

Watch: CHINA lands on the f**king MOON.
As I've intimated in other places – I don't care what nation of humanity explores space, or for what reasons. I'm lumping us all together and considering it a win for us barely not-primates. This weekend China landed on the fucking moon. So I'm high-fiving for all of us.
Hit the jump to check it out.
China launches LUNAR ROVER. All exploring the Moon and such.
China's on the moon! Or, their lunar rover shall be soon enough. The humanist in me is all like "fuck yeah, humanity's back on the moon!" The jingoist with American pride is all, "god dammit, when are we going back?!"
CASSINI captures EARTH and THE MOON from Saturn. Perspective++
Behold the wonder of perspective! Yeah, it's a grainy piece of shit picture. Still though! What it signifies is pretty outrageous. Thurr be in that picture the Blue Marble and the Moon. As seen from Cassini up in Saturn's hood.
Behold! A gravity map of the Moon! You didn't know you wanted this.
Using this map acquired through subterfuge (web browsing? WTF is that?), I intend on finding the top secret hideout of the Illuminati Trilateral Commission Group. You know, the one on the Moon where they plan all sorts of shit. Putting Prozac into our water. Convincing the mouthbreathers of the world that Big Bang Theory is funny. Canceling Rubicon. The truly nefarious acts. Once I find them, in a comfortable gravity pocket, then I begin building my rocket ship.
NASA's next robot moon walker is ATHLETE, promises to elegantly dispose our corpses.
Just build them up! Yes, keep building these beautiful, and elegant robots. Nothing is going to make the robot apocalypse more delicious than momentarily contemplating how we created these versatile killing machines. Ones that now, thanks to NASA, go hang out on the moon afterwards.
The Dude's High 5s: Dual Roles
The concept of identical twins fascinates me. No, not the Schwarzenegger/DeVito movie from the 80's. Actually having a duplicate of you walking around, interacting with the world is cool as hell. It's also great that twins are common enough that they aren't treated like freaks … that's reserved for sextuplets and the like. What does my pointless drivel have to do with anything? Well, today's High 5 deals with actors pulling double duty, playing two or more parts in a movie. When it done right, it's impressive as hell. Hit the jump for more.
Russia sending probe to the Moon in 2015. Red (Lunar) Dawn!
The Ruskies are sending "a probe" to the Moon in 2015. This can only mean one thing. The Illuminati are considering partnering up with Putin The Tiger Wrangler, in an effort to expedite the secret terraforming of Mars. They will meet him on the Moon to show him the secret launch base. It is obvious. Google it.
VOYAGER 1 has entered the 'magnetic highway' as it prepares to leave solar system.
Fare the well, Voyager 1. You're currently hauling ass through the "magnetic highway", as you approach the limits of our solar system. Keep in mind our wonderful moments together. Recall, if you will, the time we built your ungrateful ass. Fawn over the concept of being the first object we've sent out of our solar system. Dearest regards.
The MOON has volcanoes and craters mixing it up. Get along, all ready!
NASA VIDEO: "Evolution Of The Moon" Is Cratery Bliss.
A smidge old, but I kept forgetting to post it. This is for you!, person who hasn't seen this yet. NASA has released a video detailing the entire evolution of the Moon in almost three minutes. It's goddamn fantastic.

The Buzz
"Does a hell of a lot of frightening!"
- Bloody-Disgusting
"Not your typical modern horror film. It's not dumbed down. It's not badly acted. It doesn't feature tired clichéd monsters. What it does have is powerfully scary moments, themes with heft, and an impact that will leave you remembering this film long after the credits."
- Ain't It Cool News
"Every once in a while we get lucky. An indie project that we know very little about will arrive in the mail and, with the right balance of an intelligent script, completely natural actors, and a director who gets that we don't need absolutely everything explained in minute detail, proceed to knock our socks off. ABSENTIA is just such a film."
- Dread Central
Official Selection - Over 25 International Film Festivals - including Montreal Fantasia, LA ShriekFest, Chicago Horror Film Festival

This Film's Screening at Toronto After Dark had MANY REVIEWS, read them here.
It takes seven years without contact before someone can be legally declared dead "in absentia". Tricia has held onto the hope that her husband would return after vanishing with a trace, but the time has come to move on with her life. Her younger sister Callie, facing demons of her own as a recovering addict, has moved in to help her sister with this transition, but instead discovers an ominous tunnel nearby that may have a connection to a number of other disappearances in the area, and perhaps an otherworldly force at work. Initially funded through Kickstarter.com, Director Mike Flanagan has accomplished what few small budget indie horror films have as of late, to be honestly frightening. Anchored by incredible performances and skillfully paced with an impending sense of dread, ABSENTIA is downright chilling, and a breath of fresh air for the indie horror scene.

Abu Faour: Lebanon cannot handle the refugee burden alone.
BEIRUT: Social Affairs Minister Wael Abu Faour said his ministry was doing everything within its power to cope with the Syrian refugees, but the establishment of camps was becoming an inevitable solution to the growing humanitarian crises.
"The capacity of local authorities to host [refugees] has almost depleted ... we should be realistic," Abu Faour told The Daily Star in an interview this week.
Successive waves of Syrian refugees fleeing violence at home since the conflict in Syria began have nearly depleted the slim resources of the Lebanese government, prompting it to seek help from Arab states and the international community.
Abu Faour explained that the number of Syrian refugees currently in Lebanon had exceeded 200,000, including 20,000 Palestinians who came from Syria. Many of the displaced Syrians are being hosted by families in the north and the Bekaa Valley. According to the U.N., the number of Syrian refugees will exceed 425,000 by June.
In a bid to allay the concerns of some Lebanese factions over establishing camps, Abu Faour said that any camp established could be easily removed once the situation returns back to normal in Syria.
"That's why we will not make pre-fabricated houses or construct houses ... any camp can be dismantled anytime," he said.
"The Lebanese government should expect that every Syrian and Palestinian refugee coming from Syria will return to his home once calm returns to Syria or to the area from which he came," Abu Faour said.
The Cabinet approved a plan earlier this month to meet the needs of the refugees and address the socio-economic and security repercussions of their stay.
To implement the strategy, the Health, Education and Social Affairs ministries along with the Higher Relief Committee need $180 million. For their part, U.N. agencies need $190 million.
"These [funds] will meet the demands of 200,000 refugees for one year, but now the number of refugees has exceeded 200,000 ... so the numbers we have estimated have become obsolete," Abu Faour explained.
The Social Affairs Ministry will also present to Cabinet a plan to cope with a dramatic influx of Syrian refugees that Lebanon could harbor if the situation deteriorates further in Syria.
"We and the UNHCR are preparing an emergency plan because we always expect that at any moment, huge waves of refugees could come from Damascus or other areas," he said. "We are searching for areas to designate as reception and transfer areas."
Abu Faour said that the Social Affairs Ministry would soon start registering refugees, a task currently handled by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
"We and the UNHCR have established a joint mechanism because the criteria that UNHCR adopts [to register refugees] in other countries may not apply to Lebanon," he said.
"We will receive a grant from UNICEF to hire some people to carry out registration, once we get the grant, we will begin registration," he said, adding that the UNHCR would continue to register as well.
Abu Faour described the situation of Palestinian refugees coming from Syria as disastrous:
"It is disastrous on the human and social level. Yesterday, UNRWA's Commissioner-General [Filippo Grandi] informed me about a family of 10 or 12 members that are sleeping in a corridor, with no light."
He said that UNRWA has the responsibility to provide relief to Palestinian refugees coming from Syria, adding that UNRWA would receive some of the funds that donor states provide.
A delegation from the Arab League will visit Lebanon over the weekend to assess the situation of Syrian refugees ahead of a conference in Kuwait which will be held on Jan. 30 to raise funds for Syrian refugees.
Abu Faour ruled out the possibility that donor states would fail to provide Lebanon with sufficient funds.
"We are placing all our hopes on the Kuwait conference ... we received positive signs from Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia," the minister added.
"The Saudi ambassador to Lebanon has already asked the Saudi Relief Committee to implement a mechanism to coordinate [assistance] with the Lebanese state through the Social Affairs Ministry," he said. "Early signs are positive."
While the Social Affairs Minister remained steadfast in his belief that the conference would result in sufficient aid being provided to assist Lebanon, he expressed concern over the outcome if the opposite occurs later this month:
"There will be a problem [if this happens], not only financial ... Lebanon cannot handle this issue alone. If aid was not provided, this means that the Arab and international communities have not only abandoned Lebanon, but the refugees as well."

Tips for
Sod Watering
The first watering of newly installed sod is the most important. Begin watering immediately after installation of the new sod. The first watering establishes how well the grass will perform for years to come.
When to Water New Sod
It is essential to begin watering new sod within a half-hour after it is laid on the soil. Apply at least 1 inch of water so that the soil beneath the turf is very wet. Ideally, the soil 3 to 4 in. below the surface will be moist.
Watering Tip #1
Pull back a corner of the turf and push a screwdriver or other sharp tool into the soil. It should push in easily and have moisture along the first 3 or 4 in., or you need to apply more water.
Watering Tip #2
Make absolutely certain water is getting to all areas of your new lawn regardless of the type of sprinkling system you use. Corners and edges are easily missed by many sprinklers and are particularly vulnerable to drying out faster than the inner portion of your new lawn.
Watering Tip #3
Runoff may occur on some soils and sloped areas before the soil is adequately moist. To conserve water and insure adequate soak-in, turn-off the water when runoff begins, wait 30 minutes to an hour and restart the watering on the same area, repeating as needed.
For the next two weeks (or until the turf is well rooted), keep the below-turf soil surface moist with daily (or more frequent) waterings of approximately one-quarter inch each. Especially hot, dry or windy periods will necessitate increased watering amounts and frequency.
Watering Tip #4
As the turf starts to knit its new roots into the soil,it will be difficult, and even harmful, to pull back a corner to check beneath the turf, but you can still use a sharp tool to check moisture depth by pushing it through the turf and into the soil.
Watering Tip #5
Water as early in the morning as possible to take advantage of the daily start of the grass's normal growing cycle, usually lower wind speeds and considerably less loss of water because of high temperature evaporation.
Watering Tip #6
If the temperature approached 100 degrees F, or if high winds are constant for more than half of the day, reduce the temperature of the turf surface by lightly sprinkling the area. This sprinkling does not replace the need for longer, deeper watering, which will become even more critical to continue during adverse weather conditions.
During the remainder of the growing season, most lawns will do very well with a maximum of one inch of water a week, coming either from rain or applied water. Soil conditions may dictate that the amount be applied in two settings, approximately two to three days apart. This amount of water, properly applied, is all that is required for the health of the grass, providing it is applied evenly and saturates the underlying soil to a depth of 4 to 6 in.
Watering Tip #7
Infrequent and deep watering is preferred to frequent and shallow watering because the roots will only grow as deeply as their most frequently available water supply. Deeply rooted grass has a larger "soil-water bank" to draw moisture from and this will help the grass survive drought and hot weather that rapidly dries out the upper soil layer.

i was wondering how guard time converts to active duty time. i have completed my guard time and i did 1 year active duty in iraq in '05. now i'm applying at our county sheriff's dept and they ask for 2 years active duty. does my guard time make up some of this? is there a conversion like 12 months guard = 1 month active?
lrsd 143:--- Hello and welcome to the Boards. Your question might get better answers over in the Army Section--> sub-section Guard and Reserve. Also look for the Guard/State Mil. Res. section. Use the cursor and mouse and travel around.
To your question. If the sheriff dept. in your county has that rule about 2 years active duty on their hiring guidelines,,,Ima guessin' it is left over from pre 1973. That was the year that The Draft ended (though we still have the Selective Service system).
Draftees served for 2 years active duty. Enlisted guys served for a 4 year hitch...both of them would then be released from Active service to the I.R.R., which meant they kept your Home address and phone number, (just in case the Russkies started rollin' their tanks.), but you did not report for drill or get paid. At the end of the obligated 6 years of the contract you got your letter --"End of Obligated Service" and a "Discharge" certificate. { Now it is an 8 year Obligation }
The Guard and Reserve guys went to Basic and then MOS School, which count as Active Duty time on your Record. Then return home and attend Drill each month with their Home units.
Since the Draft is no more---I'll bet that Sheriff's Dept. policy would not pass a legal challenge. {I don't think you should sue them though... }
My advice is to sit down with paper/pencil/calculator and figure up every bit of time you spent with a Uniform on your back...Not just the 1 year AD in Iraq, but also the month or so you probably spent in Training somewhere before you got on the Airplane and went over there. Tally up from the first day you got off the Bus at Basic Training to each day you spent at MOS School, PLDC, NCO School, plus each time your First Sgt. or Readiness NCO asked/told you to come in during the week to PMCS a Humvee for the Unit CO to ride in the local 4th of July Parade, sweep and mop the building on wednesday because the AG was going to visit on thursday, or if you were called to serve on Airport Security Detail (as I was about 2 years ago-12 hour shifts had about 1 day off in 20.. ), or any other time you recall that you served your Unit. 2 weeks AT per year, plus 12 Drill weekends per year. Add them up.
If you are a squared away individual...I'll bet the Sheriff's Dept. can bend the rules, especially if you emphasize that you spent 12 months in a War zone... {If not... the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. is always taking applications.} Hope this helps ya.
P.S. Fix that name on your profile. I usually don't respond to folks whose mom named them "This Member". Exception this time because I know what "lrsd" means...My co-driver in a parade was a LRSD SSG who had returned from Iraq. ( We drove a Major General down the Blvd.) Fill in the Rank and ribbons section also...if you earned 'em-- wear em'! Out.This message has been edited. Last edited by: swremwin,

i'm laughing about the lacsd comment.
i'll add it all up, between the regular drills and the majority that were muta 6-7's because we started thursday afternoon planning our jump and roughly 36 hours of movement that followed i'm sure i'll have something that'll tell them hiring me would shut me up faster than not hiring me.
thanks for the advice!
You are welcome. I think that is what those of us who have been in the Military should be doing on these Boards. { Rather than posting unAmerican/anti-Military/God-hating/enemy-friendly trash.}
Thanks for responding back on your own Thread/ question. Many people post questions, and never reply.
|New Member
no problem. i'm still adding up my time and getting close. it'll work out i'm sure.
|Experienced Member
All you have to do is go onto AKO and pull up your retirement points. 1 point = 1 day. Its a quick way to add up your active federal service time.
|New Member
Out of my 2 1/2 years of National Guard service, 8 months of active duty was counted towards my Navy retirement excluding drill weekends.
|New Member
I understand the retirement vs creditable years of service to the fact that a 'good' year (either guard/active duty) is an earned good year towards your 20 year requirement minimum.
With that said, points are awarded as related to days served. AD earns 365/yr, Guard/reserve earns around 52/yr. Example, I have 17 'good' yrs (882) points in ANG and 15 'good' years (5475) points Active Duty. My LES states I have 32 years.
Now consider 20 yr Active Duty retirement vs Guard/Reserve age 60 retirement. In all cases, total accumulated points will determine retirement pay amount. My total retirement points are 5475 + 882, If I leave AD before 20 years, I am still eligable for retirement based upon meeting my 20 yr minimum requirement of 'good' years--but will recieve retiement pay at age 60 rather than immediate pay if I remained AD for the full 20 yrs. The amount of my age 60 retirement will equal about 43% of current base rate (final plan) rather then the full 50% at age 58.
Did you notice this thread IS FIVE YEARS OLD???
the original poster could be dead and gone by now!
Best just to drop in at the Fubar and say "hi" Folks will welcome you and take it from there - -
Well, it's about time!

Product Description
So begins this Snoodle's quest to discover the meaning of his life. He tries out the gifts he finds in his backpack: paints, a kazoo, and tiny wings. But as he tries to put these gifts to use, the other Snoodles laugh, make fun of him, and burden him with pictures of discouragement. In search of answers, the Snoodle wanders up to the top of Mt. Ginchez. There he meets a stranger who shows the little Snoodle that he is wonderfully and fearfully made in the image of his Creator. Just like this Snoodle, kids too will discover that it's God's pictures they must carry in their hearts at all time.
In addition to the fairy tale about Snoodle Doo, you'll get to see the story of Dr. Jiggle and Mr. Sly, a story about a jiggly Jimmy Gourd and a mysterious, disco-dancing stranger. And Larry's back with the newest Silly Song with Larry, in which he sings about his beloved sport-utility vehicle!

Grading on the Curve
POSTED BY: Millet
I was sitting in a Sunday School class once when the teacher began to address the issue of comparing ourselves to one another. He warned of the hazards of doing so and then added, "We should never compare ourselves or our situations in life to others. If you must compare yourself to someone, then compare yourself to Christ, for he is our Exemplar." I reflected on that comment for quite a while that day and found myself thinking, "Oh, we should compare ourselves with Christ. Well, that certainly makes me feel better! From now on I will lay my deeds and my puny offerings next to his, and then I can really get (and stay) depressed."
The fact is, comparing just doesn't work. Period. We will either maintain a constant feeling of inadequacy or cultivate an inappropriate view of our own importance. Neither is healthy. Even some of Jesus' chosen disciples were tempted to seek for positions of prominence, and the Master chastened them with the words, "Whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; and whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant" (Matthew 20:26–27; compare Mark 10:28–41). Jesus himself set the standard and abolished all forms of spiritual pecking orders when he, the greatest man to traverse earth's paths, described his role as follows: "I am among you as he that serveth" (Luke 22:27).
Andy Stanley put this all into perspective when he asked: "When you die, do you get to go to heaven if your good deeds constitute 70 percent of your overall deeds? Or does 51 percent earn you a passing grade? . . . Or what if God's holiness and perfection outweigh his mercy and he requires that 90 percent of our deeds be good? Or what if God grades on a curve and Mother Teresa skewed the cosmic curve, raising the bar for good deeds beyond what most of us are capable of?" (How Good Is Good Enough? 45–46.)
While for Latter-day Saints, salvation is a family affair, coming unto Christ by covenant and carrying out the will of God is an individual undertaking. When it comes to standing at the bar of judgment, a summary of our lives (including our good deeds) will not be placed alongside anyone else's. We are baptized one by one, confirmed one by one, ordained one by one, set apart one by one, and endowed one by one. And even though we kneel in the house of the Lord opposite the love of our life in the highest ordinance this side of heaven, the keeping of temple covenants and ultimately the matter of being conformed to the image of Christ is accomplished one soul at a time. We are all in this together. No one of us is exempt from the examinations of mortality or receives a bye in the game of life. We're here to do the best we can. The quest for spirituality doesn't entail our being xeroxed into the image of another human, but rather the quest to have God, through his Holy Spirit, make you and me into all that he desires us to be. Through the years and after the Holy Ghost has fashioned our hearts, after the Lord has educated our consciences, after the Spirit has matured our judgment and enhanced our wisdom, then "when [Christ] shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is" (Moroni 7:48; compare 1 John 3:1–2).
"Behold, There Shall Be a Record Kept"
POSTED BY: holzapfel
Joseph Smith received a revelation during the organizational meetings of the Church of Christ in Fayette, New York, on April 6, 1830, as depicted in William Whitaker's painting The Prophet Joseph Smith Receives a Revelation. In this revelation, the Lord told Joseph Smith, "Behold, there shall be a record kept" (Doctrine and Covenants 21:1). The Prophet would spend the rest of his life attempting to fulfill the command, including providing historical narratives that recorded events associated with the rise of the Church of Jesus Christ in the last days.
Doctrine and Covenants section 20 offers one of the earliest attempts to record these events. Although much of the material in this inspired document was gathered over a twelve-month period, "the current version found in Doctrine and Covenants 20 was written April 10, 1830″ (Robert J. Woodford, "Discoveries from the Joseph Smith Papers," in The Doctrine and Covenants: Revelations in Context [Salt Lake City and Provo, UT: Deseret Book and Religious Studies Center, Brigham Young University, 2008], 29).
Section 20 briefly mentions the First Vision in the spring of 1820: "It was truly manifested unto this first elder [Joseph Smith, see verse 2] that he had received a remission of his sins" (Doctrine and Covenants 20:5). Most are familiar with the 1838 account of the First Vision, one of ten accounts recorded during Joseph Smith's lifetime, which emphasizes Joseph Smith's search for the true Church. However, an earlier version is found in Joseph Smith's 1832 autobiographical narrative, which highlights the young boy's search for mercy and forgiveness. He recorded in his own hand, "I cried unto the Lord for mercy for there was none else to whom I could go and to obtain mercy and the Lord heard my cry in the wilderness and while in <the> attitude of calling upon the Lord <in the 16th year of my age> a piller of fire light above the brightness of the sun at noon day come down from above and rested upon me and I was filled with the spirit of god and the <Lord> opened the heavens upon me and I saw the Lord and he spake unto me saying Joseph <my son> thy sins are forgiven thee" (The Papers of Joseph Smith, Vol. 1, Autobiographical and Historical Writings, ed. Dean C. Jessee (Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 1989), 6.
Next, section 20 mentions the period between 1820 and 1823: "He was entangled again in the vanities of the world" (Doctrine and Covenants 20:5). Joseph Smith's published history provides more details: "I was left to all kinds of temptations; and, mingling with all kinds of society, I frequently fell into many foolish errors, and displayed the weakness of youth, and the foibles of human nature; which, I am sorry to say, led me into divers temptations, offensive in the sight of God. In making this confession, no one need suppose me guilty of any great or malignant sins. . . . I was guilty of levity, and sometimes associated with jovial company, etc., not consistent with that character which ought to be maintained by one who was called of God as I had been" (Joseph Smith—History 1:28).
The record then moves on to Joseph's prayer for forgiveness in September 1823: "But after repenting, and humbling himself sincerely, through faith, God ministered unto him by an holy angel, whose countenance was as lighting, and whose garments were pure and white above all whiteness; and gave unto him commandments which inspired him" (Doctrine and Covenants 20:6). The angel was Moroni, who opened a new chapter in Joseph's life.
The next historical allusion is to September 22, 1827, when Moroni delivered to Joseph the plates and the Nephite interpreters "and gave him power from on high, by the means which were before prepared to translate the Book of Mormon" (Doctrine and Covenants 20:8).
Next is the June 1829 experience when the Three Witnesses (Martin Harris, David Whitmer, and Oliver Cowdery) were shown the plates by a heavenly messenger and commanded to prepare a testimony which is now printed in the Book of Mormon, "which was given by inspiration and is confirmed to others by the ministering of angels, and is declared unto the world by them" (Doctrine and Covenants 20:10).
The most recent event mentioned in section 20 had occurred on April 6, 1830, with "the rise of the Church of Christ in these last days" (v. 1). Thus, section 20 offered those early members and missionaries a basic outline of major events leading up to the organization of the Church of Jesus Christ in the latter days.

President Barack Obama speaks at a campaign event at G. Richard Pfitzner Stadium, Friday, Sept. 21, 2012, in Woodbridge, Va. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster)
WASHINGTON: The Senate has overwhelmingly approved a resolution that reaffirms U.S. efforts to stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon and says containment of a nuclear-capable Iran is not an option.
By a vote of 90-1 early Saturday, the Senate backed the nonbinding measure that specifically states that it should not been interpreted as an authorization for the use of military force or a declaration of war.
Passage of the resolution comes as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pressed Washington to spell out what would provoke a U.S.-led military strike against Iranian nuclear facilities. The Senate acted in the final hours before Congress broke for its weekslong recess.
The measure was introduced months ago by Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, Sen. Democratic Sen. Bob Casey and Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman. It endorses continued economic and diplomatic pressure on Tehran until it agrees to suspension of its uranium enrichment program in compliance with U.N. Security Council resolutions, cooperates with international inspectors and reaches a permanent agreement that its program is for peaceful purposes.
Republican Sen. Rand Paul, who cast the only "no" vote, had spoken out against the resolution as an excuse for the use of military force.
Congress has passed - and President Barack Obama has signed - tough sanctions on Iran to limit its oil sales, hamper its economy and make it difficult for Tehran to finance its uranium enrichment program.

Event Description:
The Ellensburg Rodeo is one of the ''old rodeos.'' It has earned its place as one of America's Top 25 professional rodeos. Started in 1923 with the same volunteer spirit that still ''fuels the fire'' of today's volunteers, the rodeo has grown from a local competition among ranch hands to the Professional event of today with over 500 contestants and prize money in excess of $250,000! Today's best riders, ropers, and wrestlers compete in what many consider to be the best rodeo arena in the nation. The Friday night opening performance starts in the evening and ends under the stars.

1047 mi of Oregon Desert, hot springs, sand, gravel and rocks
It started out cold and windy but the weather predicted was to be warmer and typically fall-like in the high desert of central and eastern Oregon. The published routes available travelling border to border are great and the stories weve read describing dead-ends, unmarked tracks, faulty GPS information and general backcountry adventure are very inspiring but we have our own routes and enjoy the familiarity of the tracks without all the map study time. Even though weve ridden some of this country for years, its always different and always rejuvenating to return. There was sand, rocks, water crossings, some more rocks, 95 mph dirt roads, rocky step-ups, a few short pavement sections, lots of ranch gates, rocks, cattle guards, deep-rutted silt beds, really rocky downhills, large, embedded rocks with loose rocks on top followed by smaller rocks and eventually perfectly smooth desert gravel - with some rocks layin around. 3 bikes were fresh and ready to see the sights one last time before the winter sets in, brand new Husky TE610, fairly new KTM 950 S and my 640 with about 11k on it. I had been out this way back in June and wanted to push a bit further east instead of south into Nevada to see some new country. On the advice of IdahoeJoe and Daisy, we decided to use the Owyhee River as our target destination. The maps all suck and none of us are into the GPS thing (yet), but we have the trusty binoculars, know where the big roads are, have some ideas from Joe and our own experiences to guide us through some unbelievable situations. The other fellas will be posting their shots and daily interpretations in the next few days.

ICEF Public Schools, the operator of 15 charter campuses mostly in South Los Angeles, is facing financial insolvency, according to reporting today from the LA Times' Howard Blume. A group of big-name L.A. philanthropists are rallying to save the charter management organization.
ICEF runs two schools in Inglewood: ICEF Inglewood Middle Academy and ICEF Inglewood Elementary Academy. Both opened in September 2009 and are chartered by Inglewood Unified.
Billionaire businessman Eli Broad and former L.A. Mayor Richard Riordan are working with a group of local philanthropists to save the respected charter management organization, which faced a $2 million deficit this year, Blume says. Riordan will become chairman of the ICEF board, and Caprice Young, former head of the statewide California Charter School Association, will take over as part-time CEO. Founder Mike Piscal will remain to oversee academic programs, Blume reports.
Riordan is contributing $100,000; Broad $500,000, and philanthropist Frank Baxter $100,000–jump-starting a short-term $3-million campaign to stabilize ICEF. All are longtime supporters of charters and frequent critics of the Los Angeles Unified School District.
ICEF is one of the groups that have applied to run South Region High School No. 4, a new campus that's rising in Long Beach. Still under construction, the campus is set to accommodate about 1,800 students from Banning and Carson high schools.
As I reported in a story that ran over the weekend, LAUSD officials are in the process of writing a plan to retain control of the campus, which is subject to the Public School Choice process that lets outside groups bid to control new and troubled campuses.
ICEF has also applied for control of seven other campuses under this year's Public School Choice 2.0. Three of those schools were recently removed from takeover consideration because of marked improvement on API results earlier this month.
Apparently ICEF's quick expansion over the past decade contributed to its financial troubles, Blume writes. It's not clear how or whether the current restructuring will affect ICEF's bids for Public School Choice campuses.

Super pizza! They are not stingy with toppings. The medium is a little smaller than expected, but still BIG on taste. The x-large is huge. Reminds me of a great little authentic pizza place that is no longer around. If you love Donato's, this is better. My friend from Arizona who is picky about her pizza was very impressed and loved it.

WORK to collect views expressed by Tanzanians on the new constitution started well in May this year. This work is being done by the Presidential Constitutional Review Commission which was inaugurated in April this year.
So far the commission has visited various places in the country and is continuing to visit other areas. Someof the places it has visited include Zanzibar, Iringa, Dodoma, Shinyanga, Manyara, Kagera and Coast regions.
I also have my views to advance to the commission through this article which I also want to share with members of the public, they could be completely new or similar opinions to what they have in mind or have already been made public through various vehicles - meetings, forums or the media.
Discussing the new constitutional reform is a new phenomenon among many Tanzanians, this is because it is for the first time they havebeen assigned to do so. Previous constitutional discussions and re-writing were entrusted to a few nominated people or representatives from either side of the United Republic of Tanzania. This time it's a universal assignment.
For an ordinary person a good constitution is the one which cares for social prosperity - availability and affordability of basic products and services - foodstuffs, health, education, transport, electricity and water. For a politician it is the one that paves way for an easy penetration to the White House(Ikulu) or access to the abandoned German castle at Magogoni.
For rural peasants - availability of seeds for planting, water supply, veterinary services and medicines, fertilizers, health centres, cattle dips, extension services, passable roads, good schools, well-stocked shops and a stable market for their crops and livestock that also offers good selling-prices.
And altogether, the population longs for a low cost of living as the current economic trend has made their high blood pressure to remain at alarming levels. The current Sh10,000 note which in the 1990s was equivalent to Sh100,000 in value, today its values has depreciated to Sh1,000.
In 1983, for instance, as an employee of a parastatal organization I was assigned to go to Songea in Ruvuma Region to pursue various work-related issues. I was given a travel allowance of Sh5,000 which had to cover transport, accommodation, meals, incidental and a return ticket expenses.
Then it was a lot of money! Today this sum of money is not sufficient for almost everything - one-way transport, accommodation, and mealson the visit to Songea! I hope all Tanzanians turning out to express their concerns for the new constitution know their burning issues quite well.
It is these very issues which have driven and will drive them to have an audience with the Constitutional Review Commission members. But opinions submitted to the commission should avoid serving self-interests or malice. Opinions should cater for national interests; that is,they should be of benefit to the majority of people or all the people. Besides, should be constructive.
Some of the problems currently facing the Tanzaniansociety include corruption, shoddy services in public offices, abuse of power, falling standard of education, cheating in exams, trade in counterfeit products, maladministration in public offices, rights of the handicapped, and high unemployment.
The other problems are gender inequality, disputable appointments in public offices, neglected rural areas, perennial electricity and water bluesespecially in urban centres, cheap labour in the private sector,and gender-based violence.
Others include term in membership of Parliament as well as in special seats membership in Parliament, religious intolerance, environmental degradation, old-age pension, HIV/Aids, life-style diseases, land ownership, job security, and the union between Tanganyika and Zanzibar.
In addition, I wish to suggest to the commission to also look into the following issues: police posts should be set up in every urban wards to maintain order and to reduce the escalating rate of crime; people nominated to form urban ward dispute resolution committees should be young and dynamic holders of diplomas or certificates in law or social work to handle land-related cases and others.
Currently, many of these committees are composed of very old, jobless, law ignorant and incompetent people who can easily be influenced by corruptionin reaching decisions. The offices of the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) and Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB) should be answerable to Parliament instead of Ikulu to win public trust.
Here I don't mean that the President's Office is not trustworthy nor do I have proof to that effect but there has been public discontent with these offices operating under the President's Office. English, indisputably an international business language, should be taught from Standard One to Seven to facilitate fluent speaking and writing of the language.
Presently, many university, college, secondary and primary school leavers are unable to use the language correctly. And, mark you, we are about to form an East African Federation of states; and in future, perhaps, we shall form the United States of Africa (USA). We also have to travel abroad. How shall we interact with our alien associates?
Training and employment of teachers should favour those who have scored good marks in final exams as was the case in the pre-independence and shortly after the post-independence period. When we embarked on Universal Primary Education (UPE) in the 1970s even failures in Standard Seven and secondary schools were hurriedly recruited to teach in primary schools. This is one of the factors that have led to the falling standard of education in the country.
The president should only be given powers to appoint the prime minister, cabinet ministers and their deputies, personal assistants, permanent secretaries and their deputies, ambassadors and high commissioners as well as heads in the armed forces. But other appointments should be done by the National Assembly and employment committees in work places.
Other jobs including those in parastatal organizations; town, municipal and city councils, government departments and agencies, academic and research institutions, and health facilities should be advertised in the media so that interested people can contest them.
Also there should be elective posts for heads of the regions, districts, commissions, committees, taskforces among others. I have put forward this suggestion because public opinion, especially in my locality and which, perhaps, represents the sentiments of many other Tanzanians,is that some presidential appointments are not done on merit. And it's giving one person too much power to appointment everybody.
The constitutional review commission came into being on April 6, this year, when President Jakaya Kikwete named its mostly credible members at a press conference in Dar es Salaam including Judge Joseph Warioba who became the chairman. Warioba is former attorney general and prime minister.
He also named Mr Augustino Ramadhani, former chief justice,as the commission's vice chairman, as well as 30 other members from both mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar. The formation of the commission follows the National Assembly's endorsement in December last year of the Constitutional Review Bill.
The commission, expected to complete its work by October 2013,thereafter will prepare a draft document to be tabled in a Constituent Assembly for deliberation before being refereed to the people to take a final decision on it via a referendum.
This will be the fourth constitution for Tanzania mainland. The first constitution, called Independence Constitution, existed between 1961-1962, followed between 1962-1964 by a Republican Constitution, and when Tanganyika and Zanzibar united in 1964 the third constitution known as Interim Constitution was adopted and existed from 1964-1977.
The Interim Constitution was modified several times after its first layout. A major change was made in 1965 to formalize the single-party nature of the Tanzanian government. Coherent to the double government structure defined in 1964, the 1965 Constitution identified two government parties, Tanganyika African National Union (TANU) for Tanzania mainland and Afro-Shirazi (ASP) for Zanzibar.
And when TANU and ASP merged in 1977 to bear CCM,another fourth mother law called Permanent Constitution came into force and has prevailed from 1977-todate. Tanzanians should bear in mind that they have been assigned to prepare a mother law that will be in existence for 50 or plus years - their lifetime and beyond.
Therefore, they should do that assignment painstakingly and with all seriousness so that they come up with a document that will make them and generations to come enjoy their social, political and economic life.
