REMEMBRANCE DAY....WHAT DOES IT MEANNovember 8th 2012 12:21 pm
[ View A Comments (9) ]
For our family, Remembrance Day is one of the most important days of the entire year. Alot of people would like November 11 to become just another day, so they can shop when they want, work when they want, etc. How not in touch the younger generation is becoming with what sacrifices were made so we can be free today.

I was accosted and jumped on from behind this morning..then grabbed by the neck and tackled down..all of this happend very fast and I was very scared!!! Bijou did this to me, she said it was all in good fun, yeah right, she scared me! I was so mad, I fought back and ran away and she followed me...Meowmy was in the bathroom while this was going on and when she came out most of it was finished..Bijou and I were both hissing at each other and I slapped her good, to...hehehe...Meowmy found a part of my claw stuck in Bijou, right between the eyes..Meowmy pulled it out and said, "Well this claw is definetly Friday's claw" and went to put it in the keepsake box she has for all of us..i watched her put it in my envelope, making sure she knew it was mine and no one elses, MOL!!! I take full credit for defending myself against being bullied and attached..I'm a lover, not a fighter and I get scared very easily...call me a scarity cat, it's the truth!!! Anyway, everything else is ok..have to loose weight again..Meowmy gets sooo worried bout me and my health concern when it comes to crystals as I am very susestale to them and Meowmy just about lost me last Ausust, but Meowmy fought for me and we both have to make sure I am being good and only eating the special food, but Meowmy catches me at times taking from my sisfurs...I can't help it..their food is soooo delicious and I like variety in my diet and Meowmy says NO!!! but I have to say, awww,,, Meowmy just this once and then I helo myself really fast before she takes the food away, MOL
A Dailey Diary Pick...Were We Ever Surprised!!!October 3rd 2012 10:42 am
[ View A Comments (3) ]
Great things are sure happening lately..Buddy was honored on Saturday as a Dailey Diary Pick, for the first time and that touched Meowm so much and that same day Kaci Sunshine got a huge amount of work accomplished at Orange Kitties Rock..all this while Meowm was at work...and sorry bout not posting how happy and honored I am bout being chosed a DDP on Monday..cuz this is an honor I truly appreciate and am thrilled to bits about..Meowm has been busy lately and yesturday she had to travel an hour just to go shopping for us and her, which she hasn't been able to do for awhile, furiends would pick things up while they were there..but sometimes Meowm likes to do this as she knows what we like and need...oh yeah, the girls have this holistic new food with vegies and fruit and stuff bought yesturday and they luv it...so do I, MOL!! cept I'm not suppose to eat it, only the UR stuff from the vets, but I sure like to try,MOL!! anyway she was gone all day and things are happening in a positive way all the way around..Meowm doesn't have to hide any of us when the new property managers come around..cuz she said she wasn't getting rid of any of us!!! So they gave in and she just has to sign the paper stating she will not add anymore pets..no problem...but I think she will only feel better once the paper is delivered to the house and she signs it..it's not written in stone yet!! But coming to Catster always makes Meowmy feel happy.. and the best part is we get to play wif our furiends and make new furiends and hang out in our groups and all kinds of stuff like that.

Rated 3.9 out of 5 by 344 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Mfa0124 Overnight Stay Staf was good, however, when I called front desk and voiced my concern for Wifi not working, they transferred me to staff services rather than tech support. The wifi was out most of the night. For me, after a long day of travel and work, I like to surf Internet and read news on my iPad. I had an below than average experience. May 2, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by TRAN69 TRAN69 The hotel is too close to the airport, too noisy. April 22, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by pogmahoney Recent Experience While seemingly insignificant, we were gifted a "wake-up call" that was meant for someone else. With just me and my two small children - there for the sole purpose of getting more sleep than I would have at home, this was a big fail. I recognize human error, but from a personal perspective it was trying. I always stay at the ALOFT anytime I have a flight before 9an, but I may rething in the future. In addition, there was no coffee in our room - again, small inconvenience, but the point of the aloft is convenience......and I would prefer to be honest. April 13, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by ricky8888 Do not give invoice I was told to receive invoice by email, but didn't get it and call customer service and promised to forward in two days. Nothing receive in two days and called hotel and transferred to accounting, left message today and still waiting! March 20, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by RNT1993 I loved the modern decor and was very comfortable. I wI'll be looking for this hotel during my travel destinations. The hotel was extremely comfortable. I was very happy with my stay. I will definitely be staying there again. March 16, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by etsuk Nice hotel but Some issues to work out Let me begin by verifying my following view. I have stayed at the aloft SFO, Millbrae 4 times (once each month dating from november 2014), I am also a SPG gold member to date. The good: The staff are all friendly and are always eager to help guests, some do seem to still be training but that is not of annoyance to me (we all started somewhere). The rooms are spacious and always clean Rates are great when caught at the proper time Wifi is fast and free Lounge and bar offer a nice area to relax The Bad: Rooms are NOISY. With the proximity to the airport you can expect jet noise, that doesn't bother me. The noise in issue is the lack of noise dampening between shared walls. Rooms with joining doors allow for guests to hear their neighbors entire conversations in crisp clear quality. Additionally, the window blinds, must have attached tracks between rooms because when your neighboring guest opens or closes their blinds it sounds as though your own blinds are being adjusted...not a great thing Parking: parking at night is atrocious. The local Infiniti car lot stores overflow cars in the lot which wouldn't be a big deal if they parked in the further spaces. They park in the spaces closest to the walkway and hotel which forces guests to park further away. This is an issue that I would worry about for guests traveling alone. The lot is well lit, but there is no visible security and a long walk to the front entrance would raise some concerns. With parking at 23.00 a day, and no valet available you would expect the parking to be easily available. These are issues that are fixable, and although they are bothersome, aloft SFO is still a great location. Once these issues are worked out it should make for a great stay for anyone February 18, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by miranda88 One of the best stays and values in SFO area. Very good business hotel. Convenient location for both city and peninsula. January 15, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by hclcainc Fun and Enjoyable, but.. This hotel is fun and enjoyable to stay at. It's clean, entertaining, and the staff are always helpful. If you're a light sleeper, choose to room near the garden so you don't have to hear the airplanes take off. You might want to bring ear plugs, because you can also hear the door banging when other guests leave their room. I always enjoy my stay, but it's after I check out that there is always a problem. When I receive the invoice via e-mail and compare it to the one I received when I checked out, there is always a discrepancy. Due to business reasons, I usually request for 3 nights, but will check out on the second night. That is when I have problems. I would ask the concierge to credit the overnight parking, which they do. But on the e-mailed invoice, not only did they not credit me the overnight parking, but also charged me an additional night, so I am paying for 4 nights. Therefore, I have to call accounting and tell them to credit me the discrepancies, which they do in a timely manner. I've done this 3 times already, after each of my stays. Whether it be computer problems or accounting problems, I hope the next time I stay here I won't have to call them again. It's annoying. December 31, 2014

I have done the last I am able
There are no secrets left to offer
The worst I can do has been done
Now I must wait for judgement
A soldier by nature
Too much care for war
I may not see you again
So when a decision is made
I will know for sure
Until that time comes
This is my last salute

Arena Profile: Maria Cardona
Maria Cardona is a seasoned Democratic strategist, public affairs and communications professional with more than 18 years experience in the political, government, public relations, campaign, community and coalition building arenas. She joined the Dewey Square Group (DSG) – a premier national public affairs firm - as a Principal in February of 2005 to assist DSG's corporate, non-profit and trade association clients with strategic partnerships at the national, state and local level, especially within the Latino community. Ms. Cardona is also instrumental in helping DSG clients, within an overall communications strategy, take advantage of the ever-growing opportunities for exposure in the Hispanic media.
Most recently, Ms. Cardona served as a Senior Advisor to the Hillary Clinton for President Campaign where she took on the role of campaign surrogate and spokesperson representing the campaign on major national TV, radio as well as Spanish language television news and political shows. She also served on Senator Clinton's formidable Hispanic Outreach team, helping to ensure Senator Clinton's message reached Latinos all across the country. Ms. Cardona is now serving as a key surrogate for the Obama for America campaign appearing on all manner of national news shows.
Formerly, as Senior Vice President for the New Democrat Network (NDN) and Director of NDN's Hispanic Project, Ms. Cardona lead NDN's $6 million initiative to communicate effectively to Hispanics across the country. This undertaking was the largest ever effort to conduct dedicated research and polling, develop effective messages geared toward Latinos, and to promote Democratic values and identity in the Latinos community through Spanish language and bilingual advertising.
Prior to coming on board with the NDN, Ms. Cardona served as Communications Director for the Democratic National Committee. For her work as the top communications officer in the Democratic Party, she was chosen by Hispanic Business Magazine as one of the 100 Most Influential Hispanics in the country.
From 1998 to 2001, Ms. Cardona was the Director of Communications for the Department of Justice's Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), acting as the Clinton Administration's top spokesperson on the complex issues surrounding immigration.
Before working at the INS, Ms. Cardona spent five years at the Department of Commerce, first as Deputy Press Secretary to Secretary Ronald H. Brown, and then as Press Secretary to Secretaries William Daley, and Mickey Kantor. During her time at the Commerce Department, she acted as lead communications strategist for the passage of NAFTA in 1993. In 1997, she was awarded the Department of Commerce's Silver Medal Award for Meritorious Federal Service.
Ms. Cardona graduated from Duke University, and serves on the Board of Directors of the Hoops Sagrado, a non-profit organization that provides learning and leadership opportunities to DC youths through a basketball exchange program in the highlands of Guatemala. She is a native of Bogotá, Colombia and lives in Washington D.C. with her husband and young son.

Maria Cardona's Recent Discussions
Nancy Pelosi: Good for the Democratic Party?
Let's see...the first woman in history to serve as the speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, as speaker, she presided over the most successful Congress in history. She has helped elect a record number of women, Latinos, and African-Americans, and is a tireless fighter for the middle class and those who are most vulnerable in our country.
Two words: Hell YES.
As a woman and a Latina Democrat, I cannot be more thrilled that she continues to be our leader in the House. Conservatives can't stand her BECAUSE she has been so effective. While she was speaker, she protected the middle class from the excesses of Wall Street and insurance companies, she gave students the ability to go to college, and she worked with this president to a ensure that everybody had a fair shake in this great country. There is no doubt that she will continue to do so as minority leader in the next Congress. And our country will be better for it.See more
Is the GOP dominating Latino recruitment?
While it would certainly be great to see more Latino Democrats running and winning in Senate races and gubernatorial races (though Rick Perry should look out, San Antonio Mayor and newly minted DNC Convention Keynote Speaker Julian Castro is nipping at his heels), nothing could be further from the truth.
Dems have worked closely with Latino elected leaders at all levels all across the country to recruit great candidates for office. As a result, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus will likely see the largest jump in Membership in its history come November. From Joaquin Castro (Julian's twin brother) running in TX-20 to Astronaut Jose Hernandez in CA-10 to Michele Lujan Grisham in NM-01 or Joe Garcia or Gloria Romero Roses in FL-26, Democratic Hispanic candidates for Congress are running strong and will add to the Democratic voices in Congress who are on the right side of the issues most important to Latino families.
As a Latina, I think it's great that Latino candidates are being elected in both parties - the more both parties fight for our votes, the better it is for the community at large. And it is high time Republicans are diversifying their ranks - welcome to the new demographics of the 21st Century GOP! But there is no question in my mind that from a substantive and issue stand point, the GOP is still in the dark ages as it relates to being relevant to Latinos and even understanding how to speak to our community with respect.
The big difference between Latino Democratic elected officials and Latino Republican elected officials, putting aside that Latino Democrats still outnumber Latino Republicans by 10 to 1, is that Latino Dems are connecting with Latino families on policies that will help those families get ahead. From jobs (reducing the Latino unemployment rate from a high of 13 percent that came from the Bush recession) to healthcare (the ACA gives 9 million Latinos health care coverage that didn't have it before and Latino GOP electeds want to take that away from Latino families) to education ($5 billion investment in Head Start which is used by more than a third of Latino children, 150,000 Latino students with new Pell Grants, both programs that GOPers want to cut), to immigration where the entire GOP Senate turned their back on the same legislation that 23 GOP Senators supported just a few short years ago.
And it is worth noting that the damage done to the GOP by extreme voices like Kansas State Rep Virgil Peck who stated that the fix to immigration would simply be shooting "illegal immigrants from helicopters like they do feral hogs…" will not easily be undone no matter how many new Latino faces the GOP recruits if those faces and more importantly the GOP leadership do not stand up to those extremists and say "Basta!" which means "Enough!" Until that happens, you will not see more Latino voters flock to the GOP anytime soon. The latest poll has Romney at 22 percent and Obama at 70 percent with Latinos. Unless Romney can get to at least 40 percent, which he is certainly not making a concerted effort to do so, he will never see the inside of La Casa Blanca, no matter how many Latino GOP candidates are elected elsewhere.
Is Joe Biden a public relations nightmare?
I hope the Romney campaign makes this the centerpiece of their campaign. Yes, please continue to focus on the VP and all of his credentials that connect him to working class voters - that is a slam-dunk strategy! Except that it's not. And it won't work. And it is a waste of time. Joe Biden's gaffes don't hold a candle to Romney's greatest hits reel. What's more, focusing on Joe Biden brings an even sharper focus on how much Mitt Romney is out of touch with exactly those voters that Joe Biden is so good at communicating with, and without whose support Mitt Romney cannot win.
The Romney camp would be making a grave mistake if they think the Obama campaign does not believe whole-heartedly that Joe Biden is overall a big asset and that he is not tremendously effective as a surrogate. He is one of the best spokespeople that can make the stark contrast between the visions of President Obama who is on the side of workers and the middle class, promoting fairness and a level playing field, and Mitt Romney, who is on the side of millionaires like himself, and who is using his time at Bain Capital, where he made a lot of money, many times at the expense of workers' well-being, as the main reason he would be a better president.
But maybe that is exactly why the Romney campaign is going after Biden. Perhaps they are afraid of just how effective he is in debunking Romney's arguments and in underscoring just how much Romney does not understand normal everyday people and what they are going through. If Biden is a ticking time-bomb for anybody it is for Mitt Romney and his campaign narrative.

Abstract: Women attend college today at much higher rates than men. They also select disproportionately into low-paying majors, with almost no gender convergence along this margin since the mid-1980s. In this paper, I explain the dynamics in the gender differences in college attendance and choice of major from 1960 to 2010. I document first that changes in returns to skill over time and gender differences in wage premiums across majors cannot explain the observed gender gaps in educational choices. I then provide reduced-form evidence that two factors help explain the observed gender gaps: first, degrees provide insurance against very low income for women, especially in case of divorce; second, majors differ substantially in the degree of "work-family flexibility" they offer, such as the size of wage penalties for temporary reductions in labor supply. Based on the reduced-form evidence, I construct and estimate a dynamic structural model of marriage, educational choices, and lifetime labor supply. I use the model to quantify the relative importance of changes in wages and changes in the marriage market over time for the observed educational investment patterns. Finally, I test the effects of two sets of policies on men's and women's choice of major: a differential tuition policy that charges less for science and technical majors, as has been proposed in some states; and interventions intended to improve work-family flexibility. My results show that the effects of family-friendly policies differ significantly depending on the program. Some policies, like part-time work entitlements, increase the share of women in science and business majors, while others, like paid maternity leave, further widen both college gender gaps.
Abstract: We propose an explanation for almost a century of changes in U.S. marriage rates. First, we show that changes in cohort size alone can account for around 50 to 70% of the variation in marriage rates since the 1930s for both black and white populations. Specifically, increases in cohort size reduce marriage rates, whereas declines in cohort size have the opposite effect. We provide the most convincing evidence on this relationship by using variation in cohort size due to differences across states in sale bans on oral contraceptives. Using this exogenous variation in access to oral contraceptives, and consequently the number of births, we provide evidence that the relationship between changes in cohort size and changes in marriage rates is causal. Next, we develop a dynamic search model of the marriage market that qualitatively generates this observed relationship, and derive a testable implication about cohort size's effect on spouses' age differences. Finally, we estimate the model and investigate its consistency with the data. We fail to reject it using the derived implication, and find that it can quantitatively explain much of the observed variation in marriage rates.
Abstract: Evidence suggests that rainfall risk leads farmers to use suboptimal quantities of agricultural inputs, like fertilizer, and to invest in lower-risk but less productive crop and seed varieties. Irrigation can address this type of risk directly and thus may affect farmer responses along these dimensions. We conduct a randomized controlled trial to measure the return to switching to drip irrigation for small-scale, low-income farmers in India, including effects on farmer decisions about crop varieties and complementary agricultural inputs. As part of a larger study, we also examine barriers to adoption and effects on water usage.

Get the most out of your new iPhone or iPad. In this course, Garrick Chow provides in-depth instruction on all aspects of the Apple iPhone and iPad: making and receiving calls, emailing, browsing the web, managing your time, getting around town, taking notes, shooting photos, and listening to music. Plus, learn how to install any one of the thousands of apps from the App Store and extend the functionality of your device. Garrick devotes time to the new features in iOS 7, including iCloud Keychain, Control Center, AirDrop, and new Photos organization. The course also includes hands-on demonstrations of how to accurately type and efficiently use finger gestures, and includes tips for setting up the iPhone and iPad so they behave as expected. We also include an extensive section on troubleshooting help when the occasional glitches happen.
If there are several addresses or points of interest that you often find yourself returning to, it's a good idea to bookmark those locations in the Maps app, so you can always find your way back no matter where you are. For example, I always rent from the same rental car company why I fly into Los Angeles, so I have their address bookmarked in Maps which means I don't have to type it in at the end of every trip when it comes time to return the car. So let's take a look at how we add bookmarks in Maps. Let's say I'm planning a trip to New York city, and I'm going to be arriving by train at Penn station. I want to make sure I'll be able to find my way back when my trip is over, regardless of where in the city I happen to be at the time.
So I'll tap in the Search field and search for, Penn Station New York. Now that brings up lots of results. Now I can either zoom in to see which one I want, and tap a couple of the results. Or, I can tap the List Results button at the bottom of the screen. And in this case, I want the top result at 407th Ave. So I'll select that. So now I've pinpointed Penn Station, and with it's name above the pin, I can zoom in a little bit. While keeping an eye on its location. So now that I've found the correct address, I'll tap its name to view its details. And down here at the bottom of the screen, I can tap Add Bookmark. Here, I can either leave the default name or edit it.
I'll just leave it as is, and tap Save. Now, let's go back to the map and clear the Search bar. To bring up your bookmarks, tap the Bookmarks icon by the Search bar. Make sure the Bookmarks tab is selected at the bottom of the screen. Now I see a list of all the locations I bookmarked, and there, at the bottom, is Penn Station. I tap it. And up it comes on the map. And now I can easily get directions to Penn Station without having to go through the whole process of typing in its name and having to specify to Maps which Penn Station address I mean each time I want to go there. Let's open up Bookmarks again. Now, if you ever want to remove any bookmarks you've created, maybe you made one by accident or you just don't go to a particular location anymore.
Just slide your finger horizontally along the bookmark to reveal the Delete button. Tap Delete to remove the bookmark or tap anywhere else on the screen to close the Delete button. You can also rename and reorder your bookmarks by tapping Edit. From here, tap a bookmark to edit its name. I'll just cancel that for now by going back to Bookmarks. And tap and drag the handle to the right of the Bookmarks to move them up and down the list. Maybe I'll move Penn Station to the top of the list since I go there a lot. You can also delete Bookmarks while in Edit mode by tapping the red button to reveal Delete. I think I'll just tap off of that to cancel that and when your done in here tap Done.
Here in the bookmarks area you can also tap Recents to see a list of the places you have recently searched for, which can be convenience if you need to find a recent destination again and either forgot to bookmark it or you just don't find it necessary to bookmark it. You can't delete individual searches though. So if you're trying to cover your tracks for some reason or another, you'll have to tap the Clear button, which will delete all of your recent searches from this list. And the third tab here is Contacts. Which allows you to search through your Contacts to find addresses. Any contacts you don't have addresses for will be greyed out. But tapping a contact that does have an address instantly brings that address up on the map.
So that's how to create and use bookmarked locations with Maps.

Ricky Martin is the newest celebrity to enter the vegetarian club. Martin told his Twitter followers about his diet, and it seems like things are going pretty well.
"7 weeks on a #vegetarian diet! I feel amazing! #NoFish #NoRedMeat #NoChicken," he wrote.
To help him along his way, PETA sent the singer a care package that includes Paul McCartney-narrated video Glass Walls, and Viva Vegan, a vegan cookbook for Latin recipes.

How to Install the Sequencer
Updated: December 1, 2008
Applies To: Application Virtualization
The Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Sequencer monitors and records the installation and setup process for applications so that the application can be run as a virtual application. You should install the Sequencer on a computer that has only the operating system installed. Alternatively, you can install the Sequencer on a computer running a virtual environment—for example, Microsoft Virtual PC. This method is useful because it is easier to maintain a clean sequencing environment that can be reused with minimal additional configuration.
You must have administrative rights on the computer you are using to sequence the application and the computer must be connected to the network. The computer must not be running any version of the Application Virtualization (App-V) client. Creating a virtual application using the Sequencer is very resource intensive, so it is important that you install the Sequencer on a computer that meets or exceeds the recommended requirements. For more information about the system requirements, see Sequencer Hardware and Software Requirements..
To install the Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer
Copy the Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer installation files to the computer that you want to install it on.
To start the Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer installation wizard, select setup.exe . If the Microsoft Visual C++ SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) is not detected prior to installation, setup.exe will install it.
On the Welcome page, click Next .
On the License Agreement page, to accept the terms of the license agreement, select I accept the terms in the license agreement . Click Next .
On the Destination Folder page, to accept the default installation folder, click Next . To specify a different destination folder, click Change and specify the installation folder that will be used for the installation. Click Next .
On the Ready to Install the Program page, to start the installation, click Install .
On the InstallShield Wizard Completed page, to close the installation wizard and open the Sequencer, click Finish . To close the installation wizard without opening the Sequencer, deselect Launch the program and click Finish .

San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle Justin Smith is listed as doubtful to play this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. Smith has a partially torn triceps, an injury he sustained two weeks ago against the New England Patriots. Smith told the Sacramento Bee on Friday that that will play if the 49ers have a playoff game next week. He will likely miss his second straight game this weekend. Tight end Vernon Davis is listed as questionable with a concussion he sustained last Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks.

The filler is a five-year-old Dominican ligero and the binder is also from the Dominican Republic. This cigar, made by Tabacalera A.

An Ohio woman was killed Friday afternoon in a one vehicle accident on La Grange Road, and two family members were taken to the hospital with unknown injuries, said police.
Shelby County Sheriff's Detective Maj. Jason Rice said that accident happened at around 4 p.m. Friday in the 3300 block of La Grange Road.
The Shelby County Coroner's office has named the person killed in a one-vehicle accident on I-64 just west of Simpsonville's Exit 28.
Shelby County Chief Deputy Coroner Ittin Russell has identified the victim as Katy East, 33, of Shelbyville. Kentucky State Police trooper Eddie Whitworth had said there were two adults in the vehicle, a silver Toyota. The surviving adult, who was driving, was taken to the University of Louisville and two children were taken to Kosair Children's Hospital with unknown injuries, he said.
A major auto dealership closed its doors last week with the unexpected closing of Jeff Wyler Chevrolet Buick GMC of Shelbyville.
At least it was unexpected to the dealership's 25 employees, who lost their jobs immediately, said Tim Hawk, the manager of the dealership.
Before long, renovation will be underway to convert a vacant building in Governor's Square into a new Kosair Children's Hospital Medical Associates office.
What could be better than six new recycling containers for the county's state-of-the-art solid waste facility?
For one thing, the new containers – costing $7,200 each – are not only completely free, thanks to a newly-received grant, but they are also going to be works of art, said Solid Waste Director Rick Solomon.
"We have ordered six recycling trailers that we will wrap in Shelby County history," he said.
"We will blow them [photos] up and wrap those containers in those pictures."
As the weekend rolled in, storms rolled through Shelby County leaving trees in roadways and some without power.
With wind gusts topping out around 70 miles per hour, between 5:30 and 6:30 p.m., work for Craig Myatt, Shelby County road supervisor, began just after 6 p.m.
"I got the first calls from dispatch around six o'clock and we worked about four and half hours to get roads open," he said. "We're going back today [Monday] to pick up and clean up the locations we had."
July is National Picnic Month and what better reason is there to wine and dine among nature?
But before you grab your basket and head outside, a little menu preparation may be in order. Knowing exactly what to pack can be tough. Nobody wants to go on a picnic with a loaf of bread, some bologna and a pack of American cheese.
It's time to step up your outdoor diner, and surprise your family or your sweetheart with something a little more thoughtful and delicious.

Visitors to Clear Creek Park can't miss the sight of colorful, high-end playground equipment being installed near the Family Activity Center.
Bright yellow railings, slides and a climbing apparatus, topped by canopies, much of which is already in place, looks like a children's fairyland, compared to the old equipment that dated from the 1970s.

From the original complaint, the USPS apparently does treat them differently as far as machine handling... it would be interesting to see what happens.
The issue here is why does GameFly have to jump through hoops and spend alot more on packaging to survive automation even when the class of service they used allows for non-machine sorts, while the other companies get separated for special treatment.
Alot of the questions go to what effort did GameFly invest into research, planning and execution, of the shipping and return process.
Things from the material the mailer is produced from to simply how the dvd is secured inside the envelope to prevent shifting through the sorting process.
And the really big question, are you sure they really were "stolen" and not just kept.
I think pretty much all of the questions are valid and while written in legaleze, quite understandable given the severity of the complaint. If GameFly worked with the USPS in planning the mailing portion of their service and co-operated in tracking down these "thefts" before filing this case, then they should have no problems answering every one of them honestly and fully.

Publisher's Description
The American Gospelliterally, the good news about Americais that religion shapes our public life without controlling it. In this vivid book, New York Times bestselling author Jon Meacham tells the human story of how the Founding Fathers viewed faith, and how they ultimately created a nation in which belief in God is a matter of choice.
At a time when our country seems divided by extremism, American Gospel draws on the past to offer a new perspective. Meacham re-creates the fascinating history of a nation grappling with religion and politicsfrom John Winthrops "city on a hill" sermon to Thomas Jeffersons Declaration of Independence; from the Revolution to the Civil War; from a proposed nineteenth-century Christian Amendment to the Constitution to Martin Luther King, Jr.s call for civil rights; from George Washington to Ronald Reagan.
Debates about religion and politics are often more divisive than illuminating. Secularists point to a "wall of separation between church and state," while many conservatives act as though the Founding Fathers were apostles in knee britches. As Meacham shows in this brisk narrative, neither extreme has it right. At the heart of the American experiment lies the God of what Benjamin Franklin called "public religion," a God who invests all human beings with inalienable rights while protecting private religion from government interference. It is a great American balancing act, and it has served us well.
Meacham has written and spoken extensively about religion and politics, and he brings historical authority and a sense of hope to the issue. American Gospel makes it compellingly clear that the nations best chance of summoning what Lincoln called "the better angels of our nature" lies in recovering the spirit and sense of the Founding. In looking back, we may find the light to lead us forward.

Fellow Inmates, help a newbie get his bike running good, pleasssee.
The rundown. Bought my bike on eBay, pretty clean, running, didn't seam to need any major work. Brought it home where it sat for a few months since I went out of town.
Got home, ran it down the street and did fine. Then broke it down for a modest cafe racer build. We installed boxer metals airbox delete, emgo mufflers, euro electric enduralast charging system, and electronic ignition. Now the right cylinder is just dogging. Sputtering, backfiring, can't give it any real throttle without caughing. Stalls out every now and then. Pretty much unridable. We tried new Bosch coils and new plugs and wires to no avail. We Have not messed with carbs yet.
Really don't know the history on the bike other than the seller said it was running fine and his daily driver. Perhaps the air box delete with filters an the new mufflers are playing a role?
Does anyone have any suggestions what to try next?
Thanks all!

Waseem Ahmad (Urdu: وسیم احمد) (born 10 April 1977, Vehari) is a Pakistan field hockey player and ex- captain of Pakistan hockey team. He is regarded as one of the best left halfs in the world, and became the most capped midfielder and most capped player for Pakistan. After announcing his retirement from International hockey during Press Conference held after Pakistan-India third-place match of 26th Champions Trophy in Lahore, former Pakistan captain Waseem Ahmed later staged a comeback to international hockey in 2006 for World Cup and retired immediately after Pakistan team campaign in London Olympics 2012.
Born in Vehari,located near Multan, a district of Punjab Province, on 10 April 1977, Waseem made his international debut during 16th Champions Trophy 1996 at Chennai (formerly Madras), India. He is an ex-student of Government College Lahore now known as GC University (Ravian) which in itself is a rare distinction for a hockey player. Pakistan's most-capped player and midfielder became the 34th hockey captain of Pakistan when Pakistan clashed with India in the opener of 9th Indo-Pak Series (Friday 24 September) at Karachi's HCP. He replaced former skipper Mohammad Nadeem alias ND, who quit international hockey after Pakistan finished 5th at the 28th Olympic Games. He was the 17th captain to lead Pakistan in Champions Trophy. Apart from Shahbaz Ahmed, who captained Pakistan 6 times (1990–95) in Champion Trophies, only three players have captained Pakistan for that event on two occasions. They are Hanif Khan (1983, 1985), Mansoor Ahmed (1996, 97) and Muhammad Sarwar (2001–02). Islahuddin, Munawwaruz Zaman, Akhtar Rasool, Samiullah Khan, Manzoor Hussain Jr., Hassan Sardar, Rashidul Hassan, Nasir Ali, Qazi Mohib, Muhammad Usman, Atif Bashir and Muhammad Nadeem ND captained once only.
The left-half is first in the list of most-capped Pakistanis. Shahbaz Ahmed Sr. (303 caps) is the second one. Third-placed Tahir Zaman earned 252 caps in a career spanning from 1987 to 1998. Other Pakistanis with 200+ caps in international hockey circuit are Mansoor Ahmed, Muhammad Usman, Muhammad Nadeem and Sohail Abbas.
Waseem Ahmed was the seventh midfielder to lead Pakistan. Hamidullah Burki was the first one when he led Pakistan in 1950 World Championship at Barcelona. Burki was followed by midfielders Ghulam Rasool, Anwar Ahmed Khan, Akhtar Rasool, Rashidul Hassan and Muhammad Usman. And He is living in Australia
Playing position (midfield, defence)[edit]
The position of left-half is generally regarded as a defensive one in Asian style hockey but, like Fazalur Rahman (1965–72) and Naeem Akhtar (1982–88), Waseem proved this perception wrong. He is not only a dynamo in defence but also in attack. He displays an extremely high work-rate. Waseem, also known as Muhammad Waseem in media, struck 6 goals in 303 international outings.
He possesses excellent tackling and positioning sense in defense. Similarly, he has great ball-control to move up-front, creating gaps in the opponents' defense and supplying passes to the strikers.
Waseem played his 200th international hockey match on 24 September 2003 when Pakistan inflicted a 4-2 win over India in the Group-B encounter of 6th Asia Cup Hockey Championship at National Hockey Stadium of Bukit Jalil Sports Complex at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Waseem also struck a precious goal in that match when he converted Pakistan's first penalty corner by beating Indian keeper Devesh Chauhan. He scored that crucial goal when the match was evenly poised at 2-2.
Being captain of Pakistan Hockey team for the 1st time, team won the 9th Indo-Pak Test Hockey Series and returned to Pakistan with a victory under his captaincy.
Waseem won silver medals in Champions Trophy at Chennai 1996 and Lahore 1998 besides bronze medals in 2002,2003 and 2004 editions. He also appeared in CTs of 1997, 1999, 2001 and 2010. Waseem also represented Pakistan in Olympics of 2000 and 2004, World Cup in 1998, 2002, 2006 and 2010 along with Junior World Cup 1997. He has also won silver medal in 5th and 6th Asia Cup at Kuala Lumpur 1999 and 2003 respectively, and bronze medal in 13th Asian Games at Bangkok 1998. Pakistani team won Sultan Azlan Shah Cup 3 times and Waseem Ahmad was in the side every time. He is the only player who is never dropped from the National side due to his performance.
Along with Sohail Abbas, he was the only Pakistani to be included in the World XI which played against the Netherlands in Alexandria on 27 October 1999, as part of FIH's 75th Anniversary Celebrations. Waseem used to play for current national champions of Pakistan, WAPDA and he was the vice-captain of Pakistani team that won the third Junior Asia Cup at Singapore 1996. He also won the gold medal in FIH World Youth U18 Festival at Rawalpindi/Wah 1995-96.
He captained Pakistani team in two events before he announced his retirement. First was India-Pak Hockey Test Series 2004 which Pakistan won easily. Second was Champions Trophy in December at Lahore in which Pakistani team got bronze medal under his captaincy.
He is the 2nd Pakistani Player to play the 4th consecutive World Cup in 2010. But the consistency in the team made him the most-capped player of the nation in history.
Premier Hockey League[edit]
Waseem only played the inaugural season of the Premier Hockey League in India for Hyderabad Sultans in 2005 where he performed at his best and played a key role in making his side Champions. After that he went to Netherlands to play Dutch league for HC Rotterdam.
He became Pakistan's second most-capped player when he earned his 253rd cap on 4 December 2004 in a match against Germany and he became Pakistan's most-capped (304) 12 December 2004 in his last match before retirement against India which was for Bronze medal and Pakistan won it. He was declared man of the match in this match. He also became the most-capped midfielder of Pakistan's hockey history by edging out Muhammad Usman's record of 210 caps. Former national skipper Usman played as a right-half from 1994 to 2002. He came back in the side for playing Champion's Trophy and World Cup in 2006 for Pakistan Hockey Team after returning from retirement. He played the center-half of the Pakistan National team. He announced his retirement on 9 August 2012 after the 7th position match against Korea in London Olympics, 2012.
Ahmad made his comeback in 2009 to play for Pakistan as Pakistan Hockey Federation called him back for his consistent performance in the Dutch League and National Championship. He was part of the gold medal winning team at the Asian Games in Guangzhou, China. After this, he played London Olympics and Hockey Champions Trophy in 2012 where he got Bronze Medal in Melbourne, Australia. Then, he was part of the team which won the Asian Hockey Champions Trophy in Doha, Qatar in December, 2012. Waseem is also the part of the team which will participate in Hockey Asia Cup in August, 2013 in Ipoh, Malaysia. Now currently he is with the National side until 2014 Men's Hockey World Cup to be played in The Hague, Netherlands.
World Series Hockey[edit]
World Series Hockey is a competition by Nimbus Sports for the game of Hockey in India. Ahmad was signed by them as the highest paid player for the inaugural season which is going to be held from 29 February 2012. Waseem represented Bhopal Badshahs for the first time which is the home team of Madhya Pradesh state in India. The team consists of young players therefore he played a vital role in all their wins. His performance was incredible in the whole season.
Tamgha e Imtiaz[edit]
Waseem has been nominated by District Government, Vehari for President's Pride of performance award in 2013 on 400 International matches as he is the first Pakistani player to achieve this landmark. This was approved by Punjab as well as Federal Government. Notification from Aiwan-e-Sadr has been issued for the awards on 14 August 2013. Waseem is given this award on his remarkable performance in the field of National Game, Hockey. He is the only person to get this award in Sports category for the year 2013. He will be getting the Tamgha-e-Imtiaz on 23 March 2014 from the President of Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
Malaysia Hockey League[edit]
He played Malaysia Hockey League for KL Hockey Club along with 4 other Pakistani players and one Australian and they were the Champions of the League and the Cup with unbeaten streak of matches.
Hong Kong Premier League[edit]
As always, Waseem Ahmad has been invited to play Hong Kong Premier Hockey League 2013 for Punjab Sports Club together with Sohail Abbas, Mudassar Ali Khan and Gabbar.

Mainboard Maker Reveals Clock-Speeds of AMD Phenom II X6 Microprocessors
Re: Mainboard Maker Reveals Clock-Speeds of AMD Phenom II X6 Microprocessors
Hmm... not sure what to think of this.
The Phenom II's have proven to be really good over clockers, however I'm betting there's gonna' be a rivision introducing 32-nm parts with higher clock speeds and over clocking capabilities.
I think it wont be untill this revision that these chips will shine. We'll also see better use of that "Dynamic Acceleration" technology (or whatever AMD is calling it).
Pretty excited about these. I think the 32-nm parts, especially with SOI will be really impressive for their price-range. :)

Decent smoke, fairly good cobstruction and good flavors. It's a tad one dimensional but good dark earthy flavors with coffee notes. For the price it's a good smoke would recommend if your looking for a solid Maduro that won't break the bank.

Bought a box from here and received them a couple days ago. I bought these because I liked the MM De Gaulle and it has good reviews. This cigar has a terrible burn that had to be maintained several times. It tunnrled out Evan after clipping and relighting. I'm going to let the other 19 sit in the humidor and hope the get better

This cigar has a nice even burn, with a smooth easy draw. It produces billows of smoke. This full flavored beauty would be a bargain at a much higher price. Snap up this high quality smoke at a great price.

Felix MendelssohnBorn in Hamburg, Germany 3 February 1809, Felix Mendelssohn was part of a privileged family. With an art-loving father, a mother who read Plato, a grandfather known as a philosopher and a sister who composed music, the household was a meeting place for wit and culture allowing Felix to develop his talent. Encouraged by those around him, his first public performance as a pianist at the age of 9 and first masterpiece, an overture to Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream at 17, were just the beginning. Mendelssohn dedicated his young life promoting classical traditions of music. The revival of Bach can be attributed to Felix Mendelssohn.

Gallery: Beijing to Eliminate Gridlock by Cutting Vehicle Registrations...
Gridlock in and around Beijing, China is a huge problem — earlier this year a traffic jam outside of the city stretched for 60 miles and lasted ten days. Fortunately, the Chinese government is about to take some huge steps to try to curb it — they've just announced that in 2011 a license plate lottery system will be imposed on new vehicle registrations and the total number of new registrations allowed will be roughly 1/3 of the 2010 total of 700,000. With the total number of vehicles registered in Beijing up to 4.76 million from the 2005 high of 2.6 million, it looks like limiting vehicles will be good for the city's gridlock — and pollution — situation.

I'm as much for personal 'rights' as the next guy. However, I draw the line when 'civilized' society expresses its freedom by wrecking the environment.
America and Americans are not the center of the universe; ditto for our species. Nor does mankind's current generation have the right to rob future generations of climatic conditions able to foster a nurturing, joyful relationship between humans and Earth. Nor do we have the right to visit suffering and extinction on other species through our refusal to change or face unwanted facts.
Chaji makes an excellent point. By its nature, democracy calcifies the status quo. Special interests with the means to affect public opinion through advertising, or by framing their agendas as part of the worldview debate, wield the power to stymie change…indefinitely.
Likewise, Chaji's observations regarding Hitler and Western Europe were spot on. Prior to WWII in the thirties, Germany's rapid militarization and Hitler's rant made Nazi intentions perfectly clear. Yet, France and England did virtually nothing to hinder its progress or take effective precautions. If not for the English Channel and Atlantic Ocean, all Europe and possibly the U.S. could be speaking German today.
Think about it. Public opinion kept us out of WWI and WWII for years. Americans chose to ignore Nazi brutality and Japanese atrocities (in China) for the sake our undisturbed lives. We only entered WWII after Pearl Harbor served as our wake up call.
In Climatic Change, we don't have the luxury of being able to wait until reality slaps us in the face. If we do, the war will be utterly lost. http://wp.me/pXG3K-3l

well i have been living in beijing for 9 years now, and i saw the dramatic increase of cars on the streets. Of course, getting so many new cars on the road everyday is a problem for a city that is still developing, thus lacking many road infrastructures: one of the major problem creating so many jam in beijing is paradoxically the lack of roads.. Beijing is full of big large roads (it would be called city highways in europe), but in very limited numbers: 5 city ringroads (the 6th one is in the countryside for now), and few east/west, north/south connections, and almost NO small roads (big blocks of "commnities" block the way everywhere, forcing you to go on the big connection roads, highways and ring roads). a second problem is the design of the road network itself, that allows cars to enter and get out of the highways at exactly the same spot, which creates jams by itself, as soon as a bus or a car does not give the way to the other one (which happens all the time, and creates accidents). another problem is the law (which is changing now) forcing you to stop where you are when you have an accident (would it be right in the middle of the way, or at an entry exit point) waiting for the police to make its way to you (most of accidents here are minor collisions). the recent development of the subway (from 2 lines 9 years ago to about 12 lines now) has given a great opportunity to pedestrians who want to travel without a car, but it is already saturated at pick hours.
the problem of beijing's pollution is certainly created by cars (as most industries were closed down before the olympics, but as there are no viable replacement for cars, and knowing that owning a car reflects personal success here, the only way to reduce pollution will be to give up oil based engines… (dream?) and for the jams, it may be less noisy and smelly in the future thanks to new engines, but it will still remain if roads are not thought of as a city wide network..
by the way these new measures created an increase of car sales last month… (about 30 000 new licenses were given in december)

You're what we call a "democratic fundamentalist", i.e. someone who's internalized certain aspects of modern Western political rhetoric that they have become, in of themselves, the ultimate goals of any political system, perhaps even of life.
Could a Western-style democratic country have resisted Nazi Germany's blitzkrieg? Could it have transformed itself from a backward country with a literacy rate of approximately 5% to an industrial and military power even the US has to fear, all within a couple of decades?
France and about everywhere else on mainland Europe failed the first point, while just about every country in Latin America and Africa failed the second.
In fact, the non-democratic organization of the Chinese government allows it to try out different implementations of democracy as well as experimental economic policies within small "test" communities, with the better-performing ones applied later at a national level. Would you expect to see this surprisingly successful procedure in action in the West? Again, probably not.
You, as well as anyone else, should keep in mind that environmentalist policies do NOT serve to improve the living standards of anyone in any society. In fact, they nearly always involve reductions in living standards.
Rather, such policies serve to soften the "fall"s, if you will, that occur when a vital resource inevitably runs out, or when the environment is damaged beyond a certain critical point. Pain and suffering are an unavoidable part of this process, because the entire modern human civilization is built around the consumption of relatively easily accessed non-renewable resources and the careless destruction of the environment. Old habits die hard, especially when said habits have brought us prosperity and pleasure without fail for hundreds of years in the past.
Perhaps this would explain the existence of anti-global warming conspiracy theorists and the abiogenic petroleum origin theory? After all, it's always easier to turn a blind eye toward a stormy forecast, and go on pretending that things will always be as they have always been. Regardless of nation or culture, energy conservatism will always be the dominant ideology of the public. This is simply human psychology, no amount of public education can ever hope to change it.
It must be recognized, therefore, that the governments around the world have the common duty toward the survival of the human species, regardless of public opinion. To do so, there simply isn't a way to avoid reductions in the rights of the governed, because their interests are necessarily violated in the process.
As for the government abusing the excessive powers bestowed upon them, well, let's just say that the French people probably preferred the rule of Robespierre or even Napoleon to the destruction of France.
No, it's not an easy choice, and yes, the future is bleak as hell. But the sins of our excessive past have caught up with us, and nature isn't willing to let us go without at least teaching us a lesson. The only real advice the world needs now is "man up" and "buckle up", because it's going to be a long and difficult uphill battle from here on.

This is NOT to be celebrated. I'm all for reducing the pollution that China produces, but this is not the way to do this.
Could you imagine if this happened in a Western country? Any politician that suggested such a thing would never be able to run for office again.
Environmental initiatives need to take the economy and people's rights into mind as well. This is merely avoiding the problem.

It will certain promote Chinese eagerness to develop green solutions to personal transportation. If the U.S. did this (and our politicians survived), the outcry for affordable bio-friendly cars would shatter the fossil fuel stalemate.
