With rival Christian and Muslim militias stoking inter-communal violence and spreading fear throughout the Central African Republic (CAR), a senior United Nations relief official today urged the international community to uphold its pledges - and responsibility - to provide the security and resources to ease the crisis and prevent the country from splitting along religious lines.
Just back from Boda, a town located in the southern part CAR, John Ging, Operations Director of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), said that while the situation in the country is "deteriorating at an alarming rate," he was also struck by a profoundly worrying shift in the attitudes of the people since his last visit three months ago.
"When I was here before, the people were then identifying armed groups [either anti-balaka or Séléka rebels] as the problem. Now, the common refrain is that 'communities' are at fault: Christians and Muslims blaming [each other]. This is now the ugly face of the conflict," he told reporters at a UN Headquarters press briefing.
Fighting in CAR has taken on an increasingly sectarian nature following a 2012 rebel-led coup and has since become more brutal with reports of ongoing human rights violations and reprisal clashes between largely Christian anti-balaka and mostly Muslim Séléka rebels that have displaced hundreds of thousands of people both inside and outside the country, and left 2.2 million in need of humanitarian aid.
"This ethnic and religious dimension has resulted in the segmentation and segregation of communities. Ordinary people are being radicalized... manipulated [and] made to believe that segregation is the solution to the crisis," said Mr. Ging, emphasizing the abject fear in which the various communities are now living.
Providing a stark example of this, he said that in Boda, the 24,000 Muslims - a minority in the town -feel they are under threat and that evacuation is the only way to be safe. Moreover, Christian leaders in the area were also urging that Muslim villagers be evacuated, compounding their fears and stoking intolerance. "People are asking to be moved from their own communities."
"Attempts at inter-communal dialogue have failed. Needless to say, evacuation and separation are not the solution," said Mr. Ging, adding however, that "as humanitarians, we have to [carry out] these evacuations."
"The basis for fear is real and the challenge on the security side is, at present, bigger than our capacity to deal with it, leaving the people with an impossible choice," he said, whether to stay in their community and possibly be killed, or to flee their homes with nothing.
Strife-riven Bossangoa, where "all Muslims are gone now", some 2,000 having fled on their own and rest, evacuated with the help of the UN, is a case in point. "This is a measure of our failure as an international community. It is a stop-gap; a solution that is not really a solution because these people will, at some point, have to return home," said Mr. Ging.
And while deeply impressed by the "outstanding leadership" in the Central African Republic in the face of such an overwhelming and multifaceted crisis, he said that at present, the Government's capacity "is severely limited."
As such, it is now up to the international community to help prevent despair and hopelessness from further permeating communities around the country. The world must uphold its responsibility. "If it does so, the situation can be turned around," Mr. Ging said, recalling CAR's long history of inter-communal tolerance and cooperation.
For example, he said that traditionally, the Muslim community was largely involved in CAR's trade and industry sectors and the fact that they cannot conduct their business freely is compounding the problems for all communities in the country.
"First and foremost, what we have to do is counter the fear that is gripping the population; they are consumed by fear and hopelessness and they see armed groups conducting attacks with impunity on both sides," said Mr. Ging, reiterating that the Government did not have the capacity to deal with the situation.
He said the abiding sense of hopelessness is being fomented by armed groups, and ordinary people on all sides were becoming convinced that the ideology of ethnic cleansing "which we have seen play out tragically" in other countries, is inevitable in the CAR... "and this is very worrying as it is a foundation for further atrocities."
"This is where the international community comes in," and, while expressing support for the African-led International Support Mission to the Central African Republic (MISCA) and French support troops known as Sangaris, he said that hose forces have limited resources and limited numbers and cannot provide country-wide protection.
"The only way people can even begin to contemplate rebuilding their lives is if there is real security," he said, adding that while people were very hopeful about the deployment of the newly-mandated UN peacekeeping mission in CAR: "They need security now"
Beyond the security dimension, he urged a focus on the lack of funding. He recalled that a pledging conference in February generated some $200 million in pledges, but four months later, only $123 million had been provided. And this was only part of a total $500 million appeal. With the total appeal only 28 per cent funded, CAR was left short of medicine and food and other necessary humanitarian supplies, a dire situation made worse because the rainy season is beginning in earnest.
Mr. Ging reiterated that "it is not enough to have a discussion about what's right or what's wrong in principle; it's what are we going to do in practice. So it is our duty to protect these people."
The international community must mobilize effective protection for people where they are - ensuring that CAR Government is present to create confidence, uphold the rule of law and end impunity. This is what the international community must support," he said.

Kabkabiya — Four pro-government militiamen shot a civilian dead who asked them to speak politely to him at a Kabkabiya market in North Darfur.
Onlookers said the gunmen wanted to purchase fuel at the city's market on Thursday and asked the victim Adam Adam to remove his car from in front of the pump and give way to them.
Adam asked the militia to speak to him "politely" prompting the gunmen to shoot him two times on the chest.
The victim, a resident of the Kirekir village, passed away upon arriving at the Kabkabiya hospital.

Get Ready for the YEMMies – Young, Educated, Millennial MothersBy Bob Giblin
The United States is starting to see a shift that could hold profound implications for agriculture and food preferences. This shift will drive change in grocery stores and marketing channels, and it could translate into changes inside the farm gate. A new research study, "Trouble in Aisle 5," by Jefferies and Alix Partners, outlines serious challenges to traditional grocers, but some of the trends identified point to real opportunities for agriculture to connect to the Millennial generation, and make improvements that appeal to all customers.
In 2001, the Millennial generation (born 1982-2001) surpassed Baby Boomers (born 1946-1964) as a percentage of the U.S. population. By 2020, Baby Boomers will fall to less than 20 percent of the U.S. population, while Millennials over 25 will reach 19 percent. Twenty-five years old is an important milestone; it's when income and household formation accelerate and form the catalyst for increased consumption. Their influence over the marketplace is poised to skyrocket.
Though many Boomers would paint Millennials as a fast-food generation, Millennials are much bigger "foodies" than their parents or grandparents. Many are more educated and better-traveled than Boomers were at similar ages. Millennials are likely to have been exposed to more ethnic types of food than their parents. They have grown up with the Food Channel, cooking shows, rock-star and celebrity chefs and upscale or specialty food stores. They like exotic, diverse and international cuisines.
The "Trouble in Aisle 5" study says the transformation spurred by the Millennials has the potential to "create a chaotic marketplace that dramatically changes where and how consumers shop for groceries, and what they bring home." Grocers will be faced with a group of consumers with little loyalty to specific brands or retailers; fewer ties to the community; a high value on convenience; and a conflicting dynamic where they are focused on paying the lowest price, yet are more willing to pay for specific attributes. They are willing to travel and pay more for unique products that they want. In part, that helps explain the growth in both specialty markets and big box mass merchandisers, which are more popular with Millennials than Boomers.
Natural and organic products are more important to Millennials. They generally want more choices, more flavors and more variety – especially for fruits, vegetables, meats and seafood.
Though more men are now grocery shopping, women typically account for 85 percent of food purchasing decisions. That will continue with a new, powerful group that is emerging – Young, Educated Millennial Mothers. The study predicts that YEMMies will set the trends for spending in the coming years, and are dedicated to shopping on their own terms.
Over the next two years YEMMies, and Millennials in general, say they will increase their purchases of all food categories, especially fresh produce, fresh meat and seafood, dairy and packaged foods.
The way they shop will also be very different. Already, nearly half of all Millennials use tablets and smart phones to make grocery purchases. They use them to check prices, get coupons, order ahead to save time and to gather product information.
The use of technology to gather information about food provides agriculture and retailers alike a great opportunity to connect directly with Millennials. Technology allows farm and ranch families to help this new, emerging group of grocery shoppers understand where their food comes from, and how.
Bob Giblin writes, speaks and consults about agricultural and food industry issues, policies and trends.

But Barry loves us, he really loves us!
So what if he personally did nothing to pass hate crimes? So what if, after two years in office during which hundreds of gays were needlessly discharged, he's still letting Gates drag his heels on actually implementing repeal of DADT? So what if he's done nothing to keep his promises to fight for passage of ENDA and repeal of DOMA?
He loves us, he really loves us.
Michael, it's called politics and he needs to get re-elected. We ARE moving forward with Obama and we in the gay community need to give the guy a little room. Have you looked at the alternative lately?
Get off your knees, Brent.
And, yes, I have looked at alternatives—Democratic alternatives to replace this phony on the 2012 ticket.
What a shock. BHO has never been an advocate for LGBT equality-not in the past, not in the present, not in the future-not ever- he will applaud the heavy lifters-but go out of his away and unequivocally support us -not so much-
None of this is news-
He made a campaign promise to repeal DADT and he did. Give him a break. And let's see what happens in the second term when he has less political pressure on him. I still give him the benefit of the doubt.
Obama has made it quite clear from the beginning during his campaigning that he does NOT believe in gay marriage, so why is everyone all of a sudden expecting him to address this issue in the State of the Union? He does support civil unions – a position that I agree with 'cause as an agnostic I believe that marriage is a church-thing and should NOT be forced on everyone but debated in that person's respective religious sect.
Obama has, however, always been a supporter of gay rights and gay issues but takes a calculated approach to get things done – look at the way DADT was handled.
Stop expecting the world on a plate for doing nothing; don't wait on one man to do the dirty work for you – get out and DO something to get our right recognized. And before the haters tell me to practice what I preach, I did go out and stomped ground to get signatures in support of ENDA and know that it will be passed eventually.
Dear Michael, Obama or Romney; Obama or Huckabee; Obama or Palin; Obama or Pawlenty; Obama or Santorum; ect.ect.ect.
Did anyone making comments here watch the clip, or did ou just read the blurb?
The question was when Obama was a Senator he went on record supporting same sex marriage. When he became a presidential candidate he suddenly opposed it. What caused the change in his opinion?
That was the question asked, and a completly appropriate question.
@CARIBTONY: Marriage is not a "church thing." None of the legal benefits or responsibilities of marriage are granted through the church; they are all granted by the state. Plenty of married straight (and now gay) couples aren't at all religious. Whether to have one's marriage sanctioned by the church is up to each couple and their church, should they have one. No one is forced to have a "religious" marriage. No church is forced to marry anyone.
The truth is, as the questioner states, Obama HAS flip-flopped on the issue, offering support before he was a presidential candidate, withdrawing that support after he was and irrationally putting "God in the mix." More recently he has indicated that he's "evolving" on the issue, the evolution more likely political than anything.
Given political realities for the next 2 years, any marriage progress is likely to happen in the states (where we can make a difference) or in the courts, though the President could put aside political cowardice and use his bully pulpit if he so chose–not holding my breath before 2012, but stranger things have happened.
Obama has done what he's going to do with DOMA. Give him his second term simply to keep a Republican out of the White House, and then kick him out in 2016.
Get off your knees, Brent.
And, yes, I have looked at alternatives—Democratic alternatives to replace this phony on the 2012 ticket.

First flight by the UH-60M Black Hawk completes the second debut of a new Sikorsky rotorcraft in as many days.
The 1hr airborne test by the fly-by-wire UH-60M today follows one day after a 30min first flight by the high-speed X2 technology demonstrator, which features a coaxial rotor and an aft pusher propeller.
Unlike the X2 prototype, the UH-60M has been developed under contract by a real customer. The US Army plans to replace all of its older UH-60 inventory over the next decade with the newer version.
The UH-60M is the first to incorporate fly-by-wire controls and the General Electric T700-GE-701E engine equipped with fully authorized digital engine control. Rockwell Collins also is upgrading the cockpit with the Common Avionics Architecture System (CAAS).
The first flight event at Sikorsky's facility in West Palm Beach, Florida, allowed the crew to test the aircraft's hover, forward flight and hover turn.
Three more aircraft types are scheduled for first flight by the end of the year.
The H-92 search and rescue helicopter ordered by the Canadian air force is scheduled for first flight in the fourth quarter.
Sikorsky also plans to fly by end-year the first S-76D, which includes composite rotor blades and the Pratt & Whitney 210S engine.
Finally, the four-bladed version of the S-333 helicopter, the Sikorsky-Schweizer S-434, is expected to fly in the fourth quarter.

Company from India looking at BismarckBISMARCK(AP) — Bismarck development officials say a company from India wants to build a sunflower crushing plant in the city's Northern Plains Commerce Center but they are not yet ready to release details of the project.
BISMARCK(AP) — Bismarck development officials say a company from India wants to build a sunflower crushing plant in the city's Northern Plains Commerce Center but they are not yet ready to release details of the project.
City officials say the Dilawri Agro Foods would send the crushed sunflowers to India to be refined into cooking oil.
"There are an awful lot of details yet to be completed," said Russ Staiger, the director of the Bismarck-Mandan Development Association. "These are people, and I respect them, saying, 'We've got to get all these things done before we make a splash that says we're in business."'
Staiger said the crushing plant would create about 25 jobs, with big benefits for area sunflower growers.
"The real value here, more than the jobs and what the jobs will pay, the real value is the opportunity for the people who grow sunflowers to have a new market without having to deliver them any great distance," Staiger said Friday.
North Dakota is a national leader in sunflowers, harvesting an estimated 1.3 billion pounds used for oil last year.
"We have one large grower who apparently has a capacity for providing up to 40 percent of what these people would use," Staiger said. "He says he spends $120,000 a year just in freight, moving his sunflowers to Fargo and Minneapolis. With this (Dilawri) facility being in Bismarck, he potentially can cut that to $20,000. The value is to the grower who will have more money at the end of the year because of reduced costs and better markets."
Staiger said the plant itself would cost about $20 million. He said Dilawri is planning a refining facility later to make the oil, which would add an estimated $6 million to the value.
The state Board of Equalization has granted a five-year, 100 percent income tax exemption for the project.
Staiger said the value of the exemption depends on the plant's profit. The company has contracts to market its products, he said.
"Their long-term goal is to be able to process the 2009 crop," Staiger said. But the weather and other details are not yet uncertain, he said.
"They're committed. We're working with them, he said.

It's funny that even though I had slept with Benny I felt shy to stand in the nude in front of him. He just stood there and stared at me as though he hadn't seen all this before. I quickly grabbed a towel to cover myself. He commented that he hadn't noticed that I have a birthmark on the small of my back. I remembered then that when we had had sex it was in the garage in the dark. He actually hadn't seen me naked. I almost said made love but doesn't that phrase just eek you out "make love". It sounds tacky and desperate. I chased him out of the bathroom of which he refused and said first he must show me how to balance the shower. He told me that even for him it was tricky at times. He took his sweet time doing it because his eyes never for a moment left my now beet red body. Remember I am quite light so when I blush there is no hiding it. He eventually left and went somewhere. Finally I could shower in peace. I prefer baths to showering because when you use a tub you can lie down and soak yourself. I have always felt no matter how hard you scrub in a shower the soap does not always go in all the right places. I started thinking of all the things that had happened on this rather very eventful day. N was in hospital and she really wasn't looking good. My aunt had been arrested before the doctor had given us the diagnosis so I had no idea how she was. My aunt was in hospital and again we had left before we knew whether she was coming home or not. Maybe I am bad luck after all as my uncle had said. Much as I had fought back everything he had said was true. Ever since I came to Jhb there had been a lot of drama in his family. I couldn't help but wonder if it had been my fault.
After my shower I went to my room. I could hear Benny watching tv. I doubt he would sleep tonight. As soon as I got there my phone rang. It was my Nollywood hunk, Python. He told me that he had heard that my aunt was in jail. That was so humiliating. Immediately I started crying and told him everything that had happened. He listened attentively and did not say a word. I kept on asking if he was there just to double check because the line was so quiet on the other side. I told him all the things that they had said. I told him the story of N and my uncle. He called N stupid and that she had deserved it but I cautioned him. N in spite of her faults was my friend after all. It then hit me that I had never told him that she was in jail so whom had told him. I asked him and he said a friend in the service had told him. No need to guess who. It was that cop who took the statement. He told me not to worry. We didn't speak much further after that and hung up.
I didn't know Benny was listening in to our conversation at the door. Kids! As soon as I hung up he budged in angrily asking me how I hadn't told him that his father had been having an affair with N! He had heard everything that I had said. At first I didn't know what to say but eventually I told him that it was not my story to tell. I told him that when I had moved into the flat I had inherited a situation that was bigger than me. I reminded him of when we had first met that he had accused me of being with his dad so how could I have told him this. He just looked stupid. I know as women we always say we love a man who cries. We say it shows he is in touch with his feelings. Bullshit! Men shouldn't cry. Its scary and as a woman you don't know how to react if he does. Benny just had tears in his eyes and let them roll down his cheeks unabated. My beautiful Ben 10 was crying. What I had told him had really hurt him! Had I crossed the line? What was he going to do now? I could see his chest heaving up and down with what could only have been anger. The more he cried the more my tears started knocking wanting in. I couldn't help it, I too started crying. Whoever said a man crying is hot O BOLELA MASIPA shem! Translate that pshhhhh! Now that we were both crying we looked stupid. Eventually it was him and not me who pulled the other into their arms and consoled them. Amazing hey. My darling Benny!
I think trouble follows me around where ever I go. We started talking. He said he could sleep because he was stressed about his mother. I was not sleepy either. He made cappuccino and I had hot chocolate. We decided to talk about anything that could get our mind off things. He told me a lot about his family that I didn't know. He told me that he wanted to let me in on a secret. Eager as usual I encouraged him to go on with his story. He told me that he suspected that his dad was not really his father. At first I didn't quite get what he meant for I doubt it makes sense to you as well. He said he had once overheard a conversation between his aunt (the same one who had dropped us off) and his mum that had suggested that. He said he had not clearly heard all of the conversation but he was certain that his aunt had said to his mother that it was not her fault that Rodney never counted back to went she got pregnant because he would have realised it would have been ten months and not nine. You know that debate on who lies more men or women? Well men tell a lot more lies that women but it is women that tell the lies that matter. WOW! Now that was deep. Benny said he had never gathered the courage to ask his mum the truth and its something that constantly weighed on his mind.
Eventually we both slept there right there in my bed. And no we did not have sex. Remember last night i came with no clothes to change. Was wearing just my panty with no bra under the gown i had taken from the guest room. We all know that gowns dont sit properly no matter how tightly you tie the belt.
I don't know what time it was but all i heard was someone clearing their throat in the door way. It was loud enough to startle both Benny and I to be jolted out of our slumber making us look guilty. He was is his sleeping shorts and my gown was wide open in front for my aunt, uncle and the aunt i had met yesterday to see me in my full glory bare breasted even!!! Somehow i had lost the belt whilst i was sleeping!
We were dead for sure!

What are the odds Democrats will field a "dream team ticket" with Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton combining forces?
London bookmaker Ladbrokes is taking bets at 8-1, but leading Democratic insiders aren't ready to put down their money — yet.
The conundrum: The need for a coalition ticket that could mend the party's divisions becomes more urgent as the primary battle stretches on and takes a harsher tone. Yet as their fight gets fiercer, it becomes harder to imagine the two ever getting together.
"It ain't a match made in heaven anymore," says Donna Brazile, a Democratic strategist who ran Al Gore's 2000 campaign, noting increasingly bitter statements made in recent weeks by each campaign's staff and supporters toward the other. Monday's back-and-forth centered on charges of McCarthyism and "gutter politics."
Growing alarm among some Democrats that the rancor could squander what had seemed like a near-certain win in November makes them yearn for a ticket with both Obama and Clinton, in either order. A nomination contest that continues to the August convention could split the party in two just as the general election begins in earnest.
"Nastier things have been said in other primaries," says Matt Bennett, a veteran of retired general Wesley Clark's 2004 presidential bid and co-founder of a think tank called Third Way. "The difference is there's something that is truly at risk here — this incredible excitement that both candidates have generated. My concern is the level of acrimony could rise to such a point that the people both candidates are bringing out could become disillusioned and stay home in the fall."
Bennett and other Democratic analysts worry that voters under 30, energized to turn out for Obama in record numbers in this year's primaries, could tune out if he isn't nominated. While African-American voters who now support Obama by nearly 9-to-1 aren't likely to support the Republican candidate, some might choose not to vote unless the Illinois senator leads the ticket.
And white women over 50 who are part of Clinton's base — and among the nation's most reliable voters — could become disenchanted with the Democratic Party if she doesn't prevail.
"I'm starting to worry," Democratic pollster Mark Mellman, an adviser to John Kerry in the 2004 presidential election, writes in The Hill, a Capitol Hill newspaper. "I believe Democrats are exquisitely positioned to win the White House in 2008. The only thing that could defeat us is us, and it feels like we just might."
Party harmony already has taken a hit. In a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll taken March 14-16, 30% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents called an Obama-Clinton ticket their "first choice," and a similar number said that of a Clinton-Obama ticket.
However, one in four said an Obama-Clinton ticket was "not acceptable." Another one in four ruled out a Clinton-Obama ticket.
Voters were most resistant to the idea of having the candidate they support accept the No. 2 slot. A third of Obama supporters rejected a Clinton-Obama ticket, and a third of Clinton supporters rejected an Obama-Clinton ticket.
"The fact is you've got a very close race … and people on both sides are getting more dug in with their particular candidate," says Leon Panetta, a former California congressman and White House chief of staff for Bill Clinton. "That raises the potential that whoever gets the nomination, the other candidate will feel like he or she has been robbed."

Yes or No, Have you had a fuel pump problem on your 990.
In the interests of understanding more about the 990 efi, please state if you've had a problem with your fuel pump, the circumstances in which it may have occurred eg traffic riding ,freeway riding, ambeint tempreture etc.. and please explain in detail how the problem began to rear its little ugly head. And mention the k's on the bike and the rectification of the prolblem.
It maybe usefull to note your general throttle action eg hard or gentle.
For the record i have a 990 adv s 07 purchased in late 08 and yes the pump packed it in.
The bike had aprox 2500 k's on the clock.
My '08 has 1100 miles and is doing the same thing as yours. As soon as I can get a spare moment, I'll drag it over to the dealer.
'07 with 5600 miles, no problems so far. Hard throttle of pavement but don't have cajones to twist it hard on the dirt.
06 990 25,000km.
Just you ya whinging crunt :rofl
'07 990S bought in early '08. 16,000kms+ of hard tarmac & pussy-like dirt riding, live in the middle-east, temps go 40+ DegC most of the year. No problems whatsoever with the bike.
just pulled my fuel pump apart today to give it a good look. everythink is Ok in there. posting pics on another thread.
seems like you either had a bad bike or bad (very) fuel all along.
I had blocked fuel filters after a couple of thousand Ks. I refuel from some pretty dodgy (remote) places and thats what caused it.
Get the replacement filter kit, use petroleum jelly to lube the o ring seals when reinstalling the pump and carry a spare kit when going bush.
23000Km on my early 2006 990 Adventure and no fuel pump issues to date.
no issues
10,000 miles and no issues at all with the bike.
I think another question you should ask is how often you run the bike really low on gas. I live near a lot of gas stops and so I rarely go 5-10 miles past when the reserve light comes on.
15,000 miles = no problems :clap
07 with 11,900 no problems
'07 990"S" 13,000 miles, no problems at all. Ran it waaaay low on gas a few times, no problem. it will actually go 60 miles on "F" trip, I found that out in Death Valley this year. Allthough, I am wondering about it at every oil change, and the water pump.
Take care Brothers, Eric.
No problems yet.
Changed filters at 25,000 miles, with many long hard days in challenging
Kyrgyzstan near the Tajik and China borders
Local gas
Twist it, MAX
17,000 miles no probelemo. Changed filters at 8,000 miles...
07 - 990
YES. Around 3500 km and mine died.
New one replaced on warranty, and I am now at 10500 km and beginning to wonder if the new one is bummed! Bike is sputtering, popping, stalls at idle once warm, and sometimes is only running on a single cylinder. Thing is, it does not happen all the time. Dealer can't find the problem... plugs are good, diagnostics comes up clean. I've run a few containers of injection cleaner through, and no luck. Starting to think it may be the pump.
07 990S , 12000miles pump failed no warning start up from cold 10 sec ride to the fuel pumps start up again into gear clutch out stopped dead . replaced under warranty, no probs with anything else since or before.

Sharing time with loved ones over fanciful food deserves a fabulous showcase of clothing! Whether you're visiting family and friends or spending a warm day inside watching football, Singer22.com knows how to keep every glamor girl looking chic and comfortable while giving thanks!
Start with this Juliette Jake Poncho (available in white or nutmeg) that goes perfectly with a simple tank or long sleeved shirt underneath. I chose the nutmeg color because it goes perfectly with the traditional colors of fall! The oversize collar and fringe makes it easy to pair with any kind of jean, like the genetic denim Shane Skinny Jean and still be sassy!
For a more dressy Thanksgiving look, as well as keeping with my brown palette, try the Pleasure Doing Business 7 Band Woven Elastic Skirt in Bronze worn with a tucked in silk shirt like Audrina Patridge, and topped with a warm and soft scarf, like the Paula Bianco Wrap Scarf (in wine) (as seen on Kourtney Kardashian)to say "cheers!" to the holidays!
Doesn't matter if you're dressed up or dressed down this Thanksgiving, make sure you button up in your Tibi Nouveau Coating Ribbed Knit Coat in navy, which goes perfectly with my brown palette, as Kim Kardashian knows! This coat insures to keep you warm and beautiful no matter where you spend your Thanksgiving this year!
One thing is for sure, Singer22.com and your Singer22 SSA girls are thankful for YOU this year!

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
Hey list users,
I have used spamcop for a long time, and never noted them listing my ISP
or valid MX relays in any of the parsed potential SPAM relays (pre-checked
boxed). After carfully checking the spam reports to make sure my ISP and
friends were not reported over many months (sometimes they would be
listed, but never checked as servers to report) I grew to trust their
filtering to not report my friends.
Dumb thing to do. I should know better.
Something has changed at spamcop. After stupidly, and blindly choosing
"submit" for each report, over the last 2 or 3 weeks, my ISP and my
friend's box were included in more than one report!
To make matters worse, the latest bits of spam, when processed have shown
*only* my valid MX relay and my ISP! (SPamCop was not able to find the
original hosts beyond my ISP and valid MX relay!)
There was a time where spamcop was useful, but it seems that the header
munging being done by spammers has exceeded spamcop's ability to process
them. I am getting more unprocessable spam than spam that can be processed
by them.
I hate being in the position of having wrongfully accuing someone of
something they did not do, and not even be aware I did it until after the
Damn. I suck.
Hopefully, others have not been put in a similar position and this can
help you to pay attention to the places I did not.

The Star Alliance airline group is not keen on pursuing potential members in the Gulf, a region that it says is already well served by its members.
"Our members offer good service in and out of the Gulf region already," says Star Alliance chief executive Mark Schwab, when asked if the airline group was targeting carriers in the Gulf.
Schwab, speaking at a ceremony to mark Avianca-Taca's membership in Star, says the alliance is actively looking for members in countries not represented in Star, such as India and Russia. Air India was slated to become a Star member but its integration into the alliance was suspended following the airline's failure to meet membership requirements.
Asian carriers Shenzhen Airlines and Eva Air are in the process of joining Star.
None of the three major Gulf carriers - Emirates, Qatar Airways and Etihad Airways - are members in any of the three global airline alliances. Relations between Emirates and the airline alliances have been thorny, with the Gulf carrier accusing the alliances of being anti-competitive. The alliances have been dismissive of Emirates' charge, saying that the Gulf carriers operate with a different business model and are not subject to the same regulatory pressures faced by airlines in other parts of the world.

The 17-year-old from Newbury rose to fame when she became the first female to win an award in the Reading Midweek League this summer.
And Nicole, who plays for Berkshire Ladies and Mortimer CC, has been honoured for her achievements by winning the Reading Chronicle's Sports Personality of the Month for October.
Votes flooded in from members of the public and Nicole was the overwhelming winner in a three-horse race that included rugby player Tom Howe, a Shiplake College sixth former selected to play for England U18s, and Reading boxer Tamuka Mucha, 19.
Nicole collected her prize of a trophy plus a £50 voucher from sponsors AW Sports this week.
And the sports-mad teenager paid tribute to those who helped develop her career.
"I would like to say a massive thank you to Mortimer Cricket Club and to all the players who have made me feel welcome over the years," she said.
"A special thank you goes to Craig Cox who first mentioned the Reading Midweek League to me and, as captain, involved me in as many games as possible which helped me to develop as a player.
"I would also like to thank Simon Beard who has greatly supported me throughout my time with Mortimer which has been a memorable and great experience."
Nicole is studying for her A Levels at John Madejski Academy in Reading.
As well as turning out for Mortimer CC and Berkshire Ladies as a solid batsman and lively medium pacer, Nicole also plays football for Newbury Ladies FC.
And she added: "A final thank you must go to everyone who voted for me, all my cricket team-mates, all my school friends and my family.
"I would have not gained this fantastic award without their support."
The award is also an honour for Mortimer CC and their policy of bringing young players through.
It was through her consistent performances in the Reading Midweek League that she finished in a four-way tie for the Division Three Player of the Season Award.
It was the first time in the league history the feat had been achieved by a female.
Simon Beard, president of Mortimer CC, beamed: "Nicole has been playing midweek cricket for Mortimer over the past three seasons and regularly plays for Berkshire Ladies who were T20 finalists in 2012.
"The midweek award has given great encouragement to the younger players at our club and they want to replicate Nicole's achievement in all forms of club cricket over the 2013 season."
Mortimer CC already have a fixture penciled in for next April against Berkshire Ladies.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 20 September 2012 08:00AM
29 June 2007: The Jesus Phone, so called because it is the most-hyped brand extension in 2000 years, is launched by its Supreme Creator, Steve Jobs. The first iteration of the iPhone doesn't work perfectly, thanks to some careless design flaws; but, happily, no-one cares. And there's much to admire about what does actually work - particularly its touchscreen and, following the launch of the App Store in 2008, its window on a world of colourful icons.
11 July 2008: Apple shows its determination to force the pace when it discontinues the first model and launches the 3G. And the annual increment theme is reinforced in June 2009, when it introduces the 3GS, which promises enhanced access to apps and the internet. The company also posts its best-ever quarterly financial results in its history.
24 June 2010: Apple proves that it is above the rules governing the rest of the business world when it shrugs off a series of scandals - suicides in the factories of its contractors and allegations that these establishments use child workers or force students to work in labour-camp conditions. The Daily Mail runs a piece on one such factory ("the Chinese suicide sweatshop where workers toil in 34-hour shifts"). Apple responds by launching the iPhone 4.
5 October 2011: Following a battle with cancer, Jobs dies. But, days later, Apple continues with its relentless programme, discontinuing the iPhone 4 (which hadn't worked so well as a phone, thanks to some careless design flaws) and launching the 4S.
13 Sept 2012: Now, as night follows day, cometh the iPhone 5, priced at a rather juicy entry level of £529 in the UK. It has a slightly bigger screen, takes slightly sharper pictures and offers slightly faster internet access via 4G - but many technology bloggers say they're somewhat underwhelmed. There are even those, noting the lack of "game-changing" technology here, prepared to argue that this represents an opportunity for rival manufacturers.
Fast forward ...
1 April 2013: But the competitive reprieve is short-lived. Since the 18th century, manufacturers of analytical engines had always dreamt that, one day, it would be possible to create a machine capable of intelligent and creative thought. Now, Apple unveils such a device, called the aiPhone. Featuring a gold-style finish and retailing at more than £2,000, it does your shopping for you and Tweets three times an hour on your behalf.

Questions and Answers
Got a question about the DeMarini CF6 Senior League Baseball Bat: DXCFX? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.Ask A Question
Is the CF6 2 5/8 legal to use in the intermediate 50/70 little league division?
The DeMarini CF6 Senior League Baseball Bat (DXCFX) is not going to be legal for the Little League Intermediate 50/70 division because this is going to be a two piece composite bat. For composite bats to be legal in this division the bat would have to be BBCOR certified.
My son used the bat last night, and I know it was colder than you recommend using the bat, but the ball wasn't going very far at all compared to where it he usually hits. Do you think the cold would do that ?
When the DeMarini CF6 Senior League Baseball Bat (DXCFX) is used in cold weather, along with pretty much any other bat, the ball becomes more dense, which can make the bat more susceptible to cracks or dents and decrease the performance of the bat.
Which bat is overall the better bat? This CF6 or the Voodoo OVERLORD (DXVDR)?
The DeMarini CF6 Senior League Baseball Bat (DXCFX) is a two piece fully composite bat with a balanced swing weight. The DeMarini Voodoo OVERLORD (DXVDR) is a two piece hybrid bat with an end loaded swing weight. Both bats will perform very well. Your decision will depend on your preference in swing weight and barrel material.
Product Description
The DeMarini CF6 uses groundbreaking technology to produce a senior league bat that can do some serious destruction on the diamond! Constructing the CF6 using their new Paradox Composite barrel and handle on this two-piece design creates a more compact carbon that enables DeMarini to make the new CF6 lighter and stronger than ever before. This year's CF6 features DeMarini's D-Fusion handle that eliminates all vibration for the smoothest feel of any bat on the diamond, and also creates an extended sweet spot through the entire barrel by transferring the energy from the handle back into the barrel. This revolutionary design has been praised by players that have tried it, because it allows you to swing harder without the fear of a mishit. The stronger design allows for more even weight distribution, which in turn produces faster bat speeds! Paradox Composite makes the barrel stronger, while being scientifically shaped to feel softer on impact. This makes for a bigger, hotter, and more responsive sweet spot and consistently more powerful swings! The CF6 features ParadoX Composite that creates a trampoline effect across the entirety of the barrel for completely optimized performance. The CF6 also features a Geo End Cap that's focus is on keeping the barrel stiff and not letting energy escape through the end of the bat. This gives each and every hit an extra blast of energy. DeMarini: Born Hardcore! The DeMarini CF6 features the USSSA 1.15 BPF Stamp. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Sarah Larson misses George Clooney's ... dance moves?
If you dated George Clooney for a year and then broke up, what would you miss most?
Well. If you were Sarah Larson, you'd miss his old soft shoe.
In an interview with Hello! magazine, Sarah now says, "George is a great guy, a wonderful person. I don't regret spending time with him, and he's a great person to get to know. We still remain friends and have kept in touch," she insists. "In fact, we spoke over the phone a couple of days ago. He's fun to be around, down to earth, laid back, funny and smart."
And a fond memory of her time with Georgie?
"Most people know George has a great sense of humor and is an adept storyteller, but I will always miss his extraordinary dance moves."
OK, is she for real or is she talking about the horizontal mambo?
C'mon, Sarah Larson went to the Oscars with George, met world leaders, spent time on Lake Como, dined with Giorgio Armani, and George's dancing skills are what she remembers? Maybe he should think about going on "Dancing with the Stars?" Or maybe she is....
The former "Fear Factor" contestant admitted that dating the A-list Clooney did open doors for her, ahem, modeling career.
"I've had some amazing offers come in, including one modeling campaign that may bring me to England soon," she told Hello! "I hope it happens because I've never been to England, and I'd love to spend some time there.
"If I do end up there, I could find a nice British boy. I'd be open to the idea. I hear they have a good sense of humor."
Yeah, but they don't have George's dance moves.
Photos: Sarah Larson was George Clooney's first official Oscar date this year. But is the spectacular evening a peak memory? Apparently not. What a waste!

A comforting story for any of you who despair over working in the chronically value-destroying, customer-disappointing, economically perverse world of air transport. I may have this wrong (if you read the link above you'll sympathise with me) but it seems that the private-sector leasing company that provides coaches to British train companies has so much […]

And you thought air transport was dysfunctional…
And you thought the Airbus A380 wiring was bad…
A comforting story for the poor guys at Airbus in Hamburg who found the A380 wiring coming up a metre or so short. Things could be much worse – as the Indian Navy has reportedly just been told by the folks refitting the Russian aircraft carrier Gorshokov for sale to them. Seems the engineers underestimated […]
What do M-ICRO, M-YJET and M-ONEY have in common?

Military crash investigations too quick, or civilians too slow?
The Blue Angels crash last week has provoked extensive debate and I was interested to see this comment turning up regarding the durations of military and civil investigations.
Something odd really is going on with Ryanair at Girona
It's not the most important story in the world, but I've got personal experience of this story in The Times regarding strange goings-on at the Ryanair operation at Girona in Spain.
Gamco: that 'small' hangar fire in full
It's official: the 19 April night-time fire at Gulf Aircraft Maintenance's hangar in Abu Dhabi was brought under "quick control" and "contained expeditiously", a line dutifully repeated by the Arab press later that day, thereby sparing Gamco the indignity of having to wipe too much umm ali off its face. But in a world where […]
No more Mr. Nice Guy: Hawker Beechcraft's AT-6
JD O'Malley (right) is teaching an "old" training aircraft some new — and lethal — tricks. O'Malley is a company pilot for Hawker Beechcraft, the aircraft maker formerly known as Raytheon. He was in Washington last week as part of an extended campaign to introduce military brass, politicians and journalists (like me on the left) […]
The rise and rise of new space
The promise Rocketplane-Kistler, SpaceX, Virgin Galactic and their cohorts hold out is the realisation of all of us being able to go where only a few highly trained professionals have gone before. Watching the Apollo astronauts go to the Moon people everywhere could imagine that 2001 would be a universe of space hotels and lunar excursions.
Meeting Michael O'Leary
Ryanair's chief executive Michael O'Leary is well known for his bombastic public persona and ruthless management style, but what's he like when you meet him on business?
Energia-ology: Is Sevastianov about to fall from grace?
One regret that Cold War watchers had with the demise of the Soviet Union in 1991 was the end of Kremlinology, the "science" that attempted to ascertain Soviet intentions from the few photographed appearences and statements of the then ruling Communist Party's leadership. Whether you like President Putin's Russia or not, its new found oil wealth and increased spaceflight investment is going to bring about a more lively and interesting Russian scene with the added spice of Kremlinology, much missed for more than a decade.

Professional Experience includes:
Plant Engineer for the United Parcel Service, one of largest package delivery company's on the planet, delivering over 4 billion packages a year across our earth's globe.
It's time to elect members who will be accountable, practice ethics, integrity and put the interests of Kids First !
My 7 Point Plan to turn our schools around:
1.Provide a safe learning environment.
2.Advocate for students, parents and teacher needs.
3.Raise the academic standards for all students.
4.Maintain fiscal responsibility.
5.Develop more after-school programs, keeping our kids safe and motivated in learning.
6.Reduce district legal fees, which have cost the tax payers millions of dollars.
7.I will also support the opening of the New School in The Preserve.
I would be honored to be one of your three choices for school board. Our kids and teachers deserve the best.
The time to Invest in Silver is now!

Forget all the intern horror stories you've heard: days filled with photocopying, sorting mail, and getting coffee. There's no paper pushing and mind-less work as a Greenpeace intern.
Being an intern at Greenpeace is a unique and amazing experience. What other interns can say they had the opportunity to send a direct message to President Obama on his energy policy? Or participate in a two day non-violent direct action training? Or put together a basket full of polluter-friendly goodies that got delivered to Representative Fred Upton?
For the past four months, I have been interning with the Campaigns team at Greenpeace. It has been four of the most exciting, action-packed, learning-filled, and inspiring months of my life. I have had the chance to work on each of Greenpeace's five campaigns (Oceans, Forests, Global Warming, Toxics and Nuclear), while learning so much about issues I honestly didn't know a lot about before coming to Greenpeace. I have had the privilege of witnessing important victories like Costco agreeing to stop selling Red-List threatened fish species adopt a sustainable seafood policy and Sinar Mas, the largest palm oil producer in the world, announcing a plan to no longer destroy rainforests.
I helped on the set of two Greenpeace videos, did research at the EPA on risk assessment of chemical facilities, and met hundreds of fellow students and environmental activists at Power Shift.
I attended hearings to the House of Representatives and helped work on Greenpeace Radio. I wrote blogs, learned how to use Twitter, and most importantly, saw first hand how a large, global NGO operates and succeeds.
As a Greenpeace intern, you get to do what you love every single day while actually making a difference. You get to meet and work with so many amazing people. I've had experiences I will never forget, and you can too! Find out what awesome experiences you will have as a Greenpeace intern by applying for an internship today!

Fouty won't seek office under new agreement
Kanawha County magistrate Carol Fouty was absent from the Judicial Hearing Board meeting Wednesday, but an agreement was presented on her behalf that promises she will not seek public office in November, and she'll reimburse the state for the costs associated with its investigation into her misconduct, which will total near $6300. The letter presented by her attorney also says she would resign from office, which she did last week. The agreement must be accepted by the board and then by the Supreme Court.

Greek Style Mahi Mahi
I'm not sure why this flavorful fish is not one of our everyday picks. It's not too salty, or "too fishy" and has a moist, flaky texture with a tender, slightly sweet, mild flavor.
- Prep Time : 10 min
- Cook Time : 15 min
- Ready Time : 25 min
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 4 filets Mahi Mahi (6-ounce each)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta
- 3 tablespoons chopped dill
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, vinegar, lemon zest and oregano. Place fish on a greased baking sheet and top with salt, pepper, and onions. Drizzle with the sauce and bake 15 to 20 minutes or until fish is flaky and just cooked through.
3. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine yogurt, feta, dill and lemon juice. Serve fish with lemon wedges and a dollop of feta sauce.

Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend. I've been looking at fall fashion colors and burgundy (it's also called plum, and oxblood) seems to be popping up everywhere.
Whether it's skirts,
Or pants.
I'm adding some of the fall fashion color to my wardrobe in a simple sweater tee from The Limited.

The emphasis across the Primary Phase is to ensure that all pupils are challenged to achieve their potential. In some cases, pupils may need extra support with particular subject areas. This is provided in small group work with the support of the teacher or a teaching assistant within the classroom. On occasion, pupils may be withdrawn for extra support in certain areas. Individual needs are assessed by class teachers, the Head of the Primary Phase and the Academy's SEN Co-ordinator, so that the needs of all children can be met. Pupils who are placed on the Academy's Learning Support Register are provided with an Individual Education Plan which is reviewed twice a year. Specific activities to help the pupil to improve will be carried out and the results will be shared with parents at Parent Consultation Evenings.
Pupils who show particular aptitude in certain areas will be placed on the Academy's Gifted and Talented Register. Extension and challenge activities will be provided by the class teacher in order to ensure that such pupils are stretched.

Diabetic ulcers are chronic, complex, or problem wounds of the legs and feet in people with diabetes. Diabetic ulcers that
fail to heal in three months are usually considered chronic. Some take years to heal or never do. Wound care specialists classify
diabetic foot ulcers using the Wagner Grade Scale:
Diabetic ulcers require a healthy, oxygenated wound bed to heal. A lack of sufficient oxygen (hypoxia) in the wound bed slows
or stops the normal healing process. Wound healing in people with diabetes is often complicated by poor blood circulation in
the feet and legs. Nerve disease (neuropathy) may also cause a loss of sensation in the feet and legs, so even a small cut,
sore, or pressure ulcer may go unnoticed for some time and develop into a problem wound. Diabetic ulcers are especially prone
to serious bacterial infections that threaten life and limb.
Read the
Arterial Insufficiencies: Enhancement of Healing in Selected Problem Wounds
page in the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society resource library to learn more about wound evaluation, hypoxia, measures of
wound oxygenation, the mechanisms and efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen, and future areas for research.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is an effective adjunct to traditional wound care therapies, including topical cleaning;
surgical removal (debridement) of dead skin and tissue; application of dressings, ointments, and biologics; and use of
compression boots or stockings, vacuum or negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) pumps, ultrasound, laser, and other emerging
technologies. HBOT helps repair wounds and enhance healing by improving blood circulation, encouraging the formation of new
capillary blood vessels (angiogenesis), supplying more oxygen to tissue in the wound bed, and stimulating the growth and
distribution of stem cells. Hyperbaric oxygen also helps kill the anaerobic bacteria that cause some of the worst infections
in chronic wounds. Evidence for HBOT is especially strong in diabetic foot ulcers classified Wagner Grade 3 or higher, for
which hyperbaric oxygen is widely considered standard therapy.
hyperbariclink commentary
Hyperbaric oxygen plays an increasingly important role in the treatment of problem wounds and limb salvage. But access to
accredited hyperbaric facilities and certified hyperbaric physicians and technicians is a public health problem. In 2004
as many as two-thirds of nursing home patients with NPUAP Stage II or worse pressure ulcers were not enrolled in wound care
treatment programs
In diabetes-related wounds alone, US hospitals performed 66,000 toe, foot, and leg amputations
in 2006
for which health economists have estimated a cost of $3 billion per year
[ACA, 2008]. More and more
hospitals and health networks today are opening advanced wound care and hyperbaric centers to serve this unmet clinical need.
Even if chronic wounds were its only indicated use, HBOT would be assured a place in evidence-based medicine for quality and
cost-effective healthcare.
