As founder of the independent St. Louis-based blues label Broke & Hungry Records, Jeff Konkel has been a determined chronicler of Mississippi music and culture. Like many St. Louisans, Konkel, 38, grew up hearing lots of blues-influenced rockers such as Led Zeppelin and Eric Clapton on local FM radio. By his late teens that resulted in "just sort of backing my way into some country blues musicians," he says.
He continued to cultivate his interest in the blues while attending Saint Louis University and later when working as a reporter for the Suburban Journals and in public relations for SLU, Fleishman-Hillard and the Special School District. By the late 1990s, Konkel was taking regular road trips to Mississippi to hear live performances and visit historic sites and musicians' graves. Frustrated that no one seemed to be documenting the great music he was experiencing, Konkel decided to do something about it himself by starting Broke & Hungry, telling the RFT in a 2006 interview, "More than anything, as someone who's been a rabid music fan for many years, but has very little musical ability himself, it's a way to feel like I'm part of the process."
Since then, the label has put out a dozen CDs of modern-day rural blues, spotlighting veteran performers such as Jimmy "Duck" Holmes as well as previously unknown musicians including Pat Thomas and the pseudonymous Mississippi Marvel. In the process, Broke & Hungry has earned accolades from music critics and praise from blues fans around the world for both the quality and the authenticity of its output.
Then in 2008, Konkel took his enthusiasm to another level, teaming up with Roger Stolle, a former St. Louisan and fellow blues aficionado who owns Cat Head Delta Blues & Folk Art in Clarksdale, Mississippi, to produce the documentary M For Mississippi. Stolle, who had been the marketing director here in Missouri for May Company, moved to Clarksdale in 2002 to founded Cat Head as a combination of promotion agency, retail store and record label with a roster that includes St. Louis' Big George Brock (himself a native Mississippian).
Shot in slightly more than a week and taking its title from one of Brock's songs, M for Mississippi was an account of a road trip by Konkel, Stolle, filmmaker Damien Blaylock and soundman Bill Abel, showing them traveling around the state, hanging out with and interviewing a dozen of their favorite musicians. M for Mississippi earned good reviews and was honored with several awards, including "DVD Of the Year" at the 2009 Blues Music Awards.
Now Konkel and the M for Mississippi team are nearing the finish line on a brand-new film and music project, set for a world premiere in April at the annual Juke Joint Festival in Clarksdale. Their latest effort, We Juke Up in Here!, takes place in the same geographic territory as the previous film, but focuses on a different aspect of the story, says Konkel.
Simply put, while M for Mississippi was about people, We Juke... is about place. "It's as much a celebration of one particular venue — Red's Lounge in Clarksdale — as it is a look at the scene in general," says Konkel. "We kept coming back to Red's, both physically throughout the production and conceptually as an archetype."
The idea for the film came when Konkel and Stolle realized that as older blues musicians retire or die, the venues they played are becoming endangered as well. "Traditional musicians are passing at a fairly alarming rate," Konkel continues. "And when someone like Hubert Sumlin or David 'Honeyboy' Edwards passes, everyone sits up and takes notice. But these venues are disappearing, too, and the audiences are changing."
Simply put, older fans of the traditional juke-joint sound are being replaced by younger patrons who prefer a slicker, more contemporary soul-blues sound. As a result, Konkel says, some juke joint owners have dropped live music entirely in favor of DJs or jukeboxes, while others book live performances only when there's a blues festival happening somewhere nearby.
"We wanted to document the history of that scene, what juke joints have meant to Mississippi, and what's happening in the wake of their disappearance," says Konkel. "You can't expect time to stand still, but when a great tradition transitions or disappears, it's certainly something worth taking notice of."
They began filming We Juke Up in Here! in June 2011, shooting on selected weekends over the course of six months and wrapping up principal photography in December. "Most of that production took place at Red's, but we did also visit other juke joints in the region," says Konkel. Those stops included the infamous Dew Drop Inn, which "has now reverted back to being basically just a bar; it's not really a live music venue anymore," and Jimmy 'Duck' Holmes' own personal juke, the Blue Front Café, where "his local audience doesn't care much for old-time country blues. He usually won't even break out his guitar unless a tourist comes in."
With a similar budget to the first film but fewer performers to pay, Konkel says they were able to bring a bit more in the way of production values to We Juke Up in Here! Most notably, Blaylock (who this time also is getting credit with Stolle and Konkel as co-producer and co-director) was joined by a second cameraman, Lou Bopp, which enabled the crew to work more spontaneously and capture more action as it was happening.

Independent testing commissioned by the Food Rights Network found toxic contaminants in San Francisco's sewage sludge "compost." In the sludge product given away free to gardeners from 2007 to March 4, 2010, are contaminants with endocrine-disruptive properties including PBDE flame retardants, nonylphenol detergent breakdown products, and the antibacterial agent triclosan. The independent tests were conducted for the Food Rights Network by Dr. Robert C. Hale of the Virginia Institute of Marine Sciences.
Watch a CBS 5 KPIX August 10, 2010 report providing a startling story of how San Francisco is violating its own precautionary principle law by dumping toxic sludge on city gardens.
Jim Bynum replied on Permalink
S.F. Organic sludge Compost (biosolids)
Organic sewage sludge compost is a scientific myth used to dump sludge on the public. Sludge Compost is claimed to be a Class A biosolids with less than 1,000 colonies (millions of bacteria per colony) of thermotolerant Enterobacteriaceae per gram of dry sludge that grow at 112.1degF based on a fecal coliform test for E. coli and Klebsiella. It is claimed that is proof that there are no pathogens present which makes it safe for direct public contact. The outright lie is that the colonies are reported to the public as individual bacteria (colony forming Unit or most probable number), unless the public is told all pathogens are destroyed. The problem is that San Francisco ignores all 30 gram negative pathogens in the Enterobacteriaceae family that enjoy explosive growth at 98.6degF as well as all other pathogens in the bacteria group and viruses, helminths an protozoa.
We don't want to forget the 1981 Los Angeles' compost study "Factors Affecting Salmonellae Repopulation in Composted Sludges" "The indigenous salmonellae initiating this growth had survived in a desiccated state for over 1 year prior to providing the proper moisture-temperature combination for the repopulation to occur."
The 1988 Los Angeles' study "Occurrence of Pathogens in Distribution and Marketing Municipal Sludges" was more significant.
"Although the use of sludge as a soil amendment is attractive, it is not without potential health risks. Toxic chemicals, including heavy metals and industrial organics, may enter the food chain and present long-term health risks." The bacteria Yersinia (pestis -plague?) was consistently found in static pile compost. CDC authorities state, "Outbreaks in people still occur in rural communities or in cities." significant increases in bacterial populations, including salmonellae, occurred during subsequent production of commercial soil amendment products.

Arsenal Gallery Exhibition: STRATA
Thursday, April 10, 2014
9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
This event repeats every week on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday between 3/6/2014 and 4/24/2014.
Please note: This event has already taken place. Please use the Search options on the right to find upcoming events.
NYC Parks is pleased to present STRATA, an exhibition of prints, ceramics and collages by Marie Lorenz, Katy Fischer and Max Warsh. The artists in STRATA collect and arrange found or invented artifacts from the urban environment, including river flotsam, ceramic shards, and architectural details, through various modes of discovery. They use their collections as source material for multilayered, abstract compositions that reframe our familiar surroundings and challenge the division between man-made and organic in favor of a more seamless view of the material world. STRATA is on view in the Arsenal Gallery now through April 24, 2014.
Marie Lorenz creates large scale, collograph prints from objects she collects on her excursions through New York City's waterways. In this new series of prints, Lorenz engages with the mysterious paths the objects have traveled by repeatedly printing the elements in ornate circular patterns, which evoke both tidal vortexes and folk art medallions.
Katy Fischer's ceramic sculpture is reminiscent of archeological discoveries. She is inspired by the way ancient artifacts become evocatively abstract shapes once they are broken, weathered and displaced, not unlike the bits of debris deposited around the city. The shard-like fragments read as both found and made, broken and whole, abstract and representational and suggest intriguing connections and possible histories.
On his walks around the city, Max Warsh photographs architectural facades, which are used as source material for his work. For these new pieces, Warsh photographed buildings in the neighborhood that surrounds the Arsenal. He then reconfigures these found textures, grooved surfaces and cast ornamental details in his studio through cutting, painting and collage to arrive at compositions that reinvigorate our engagement with the visual language of the urban landscape.
In the work of all three artists, the fragment points to a larger more complete whole and a sense that a sum of the parts does or could exist. However each artist works to evade the reveal: we never see the whole building, the actual found object, or the unbroken pot. Rather, these fragmented compositions convey the way memory is an amalgamated fiction rather than a knowable fact.
In conjunction with STRATA , Audra Wolowiec will present the sound installation Weather Language on April 14, 2014, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. at the Arsenal. The sound piece will be composed of a mixture of found sounds and vocal interventions that are sensitive to both the Arsenal site and the city at large. Wolowiecs' voice will overlap with the voices of strangers she encountered while walking through the city, creating a sound environment that is as subtle and ambiguous as the weather.The Arsenal Gallery is dedicated to examining themes of nature, urban space, wildlife, New York City parks and park history. It is located on the third floor of the Parks Department Headquarters, in Central Park, on Fifth Avenue at 64th Street. Gallery hours are Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Admission is free. For more information on the Arsenal Gallery, please call 212-360-8163.

Main Street USA is not what it once was, at least not here in the North Country, where empty store fronts are not uncommon, and neither are weather-pocked roads and sidewalks. Some of our towns and villages are faring better than others, but the worst of the bunch seem forlorn and resigned to a steady decline.
In life there are always choices. We could sit idle and watch gravity steal the siding from our downtown buildings and winter claim another small business. We could shake our collective fist at the government and demand action in the form of fewer taxes, more growth and a brilliant, fool-proof solution to our economic quagmire.
Whether we fight the grave injustices that surround us from the comfort of our sagging couches or from the steps of city hall, we're still here, and we still need help.
Or do we?
There might be a better way, one that could provide a guiding light for us, our neighbors and future generations everywhere.
Two local groups, Vision 2 Action and Revitalize Keeseville, have already begun the discussion, and they need all the support they can get.
Earlier this year, V2A embarked on its mission of providing a common ground for various grassroots organizations to come together and discuss ways to bring people to Plattsburgh and keep them there. The plan was to begin by tackling projects close to completion and then move on to other low- to no-cost projects. Raising money to renovate the Strand Theatre, opening the Saranac River Trail and initiating a bike rack program are some of the group's accomplishments.
To make things happen, V2A has held four meetings which have covered ideas to improve recreation, transportation, art and education in the area. The education discussion began with a round-table talk on Mountain Lake PBS on Oct. 11 and was followed by a community forum on Oct. 18. On Oct. 25, at 8 p.m., the public is encouraged to participate in a special live call-in edition of Mountain Lake Journal on Mountain Lake PBS. The discussion will focus on how education is a vital factor in strengthening our economy and sustaining a quality of life in our community.

The food was excellent, the prices were good, and the service was fine. (I didn't have the rudeness problems other people had.) I ended up getting a turkey burger, but I had it made with one of their special recipes and it was amazing. Ambiance is a little loud, but overall a pleasant experience. Decent bottled beer selection too.
Posted by HellsKitchenEater on 10/13/2009
I completely agree with the last reviewer. I had a similar experience. I asked to sit outside at one of the empty tables. My wife and I recieved some muddled answer to the effect that they stop serving outside at x time. As it happened to be the cutoff time she indicated, I said alright. Then the hostess proceeded to seat 3 other parties outside even though it was past the time she indicated. A real head scratcher... As for the food- I have been there multiple times. My wife has asked for medium well twice and recieved dripping red rare cooked burgers. I think if they put burger in their name they should be able to cook them. The pluses-- tasty fries and and an incredible lobster roll. Deserts are fine too. Location is convenient and vibe is cool but for me if the service aint up to par, i wont go...
Posted by H2 on 10/10/2009
Its all in the special sauce! The lobster rolls are great too and the fries perfect!

I have been a frequent visitor of 5 Napkin Burger since it opened, spending over $2,000 total there in the past. The experience I had last night has led me to never, ever, ever return and to make sure to tell all my friends what kind of smug, arrogant attitude I experienced. First, the food is pretty okay...nothing much better than you can get in the better diners in NYC or lower priced places. You should order your burger cooked a bit less than you really want, because they overcook the burgers. The decor, shakes, and interesting side items made this a former place to visit for me. However, as you will read below, I will not be revisiting. As for my specific experience, I went to 5 Napkin without a reservation (as I ALWAYS have EVERY SINGLE TIME) and the host tried to sit our party of 5 people at a booth for 4 (by placing a chair right in the middle of the traffic aisle) right next to the front door where constant traffic and bumping of my friend would happen. I scanned the floor and saw many tables open that would seat 5 or 6 people...but both the hostess and our server stated that they will NOT seat a party of 5 at a table for 6 so that they can fill each table fully. Literally within SECONDS of our party cramming into the small booth, a party of 5 was, indeed, seated at that table for 6 I saw. I immediately got up to speak to the manager, a gentleman in a nice suit. The manager made things even worse by telling me in the most matter-of-fact smug way, "we usually don't even try to seat parties without a reservation...there's no way I could sit you anywhere else." I told him, as a business owner and person who eats out on a regular basis, that I would have done everything I could to make the customer feel comfortable. He gave me a terrible, indifferent attitude that only someone who could care less about my business because his busy location insures a steady flow of tourists and one-time diners who don't mind poor service. He offered me absolutely nothing to calm my rational and real concerns except attitude...pretty much a "take it or leave it" attitude. I IMMEDIATELY LEFT the restaurant, leaving my 4 colleagues behind, as I could not in good conscience give them a red cent of my business after being treated so poorly.

Fist pumps, high fives, and bumps on the chest all around for 5 Napkin Burger in Midtown West. Although somewhat under the radar, 5 Napkin will leave you walking away hungry for more and an appetite for Gruyere cheese where ever you go next. Let's get right down to business with 10 0z. of fresh ground chuck, Comote or Gruyere cheese, caramelized onions, and rosemary aioli known around these parts as the 5 Napkin Burger. The aioli was delicious and complimented the other toppings well but the melted Comote and onions took the cake. I have yet to see cheese melted as well as I did here tonight. I could have skipped the fries and ordered a side of melted madness with cheese and onions. I'm still curious as to why the name 5 Napkin? What's up with that? Maybe someone can figure this one out but only one napkin was needed for me after finishing my burger in 3 minutes flat.
Posted by missbean on 08/08/2009
The burgers were great, the hostess was incredibly rude. May not come again solely because of her.
Posted by HKresident on 08/03/2009
I work in the service industry, and being treated well as a customer means a lot to me. I took my husband, friends and family to 5Napkin for his birthday. We reserved two tables of 6. The tables were empty and available when we all arrived on time, yet they made us wait 15 minutes to be seated and acted like I was a big jerk for checking in with them from time to time. The busy bar area was not big enough for 12 extra people to wait around to be called for their table. I was not given a beeper, like everyone else was, so I had to wait by the hostess podium so that she wouldn't forget about me. It wasn't until that hostess went on her break that the relief hostess finally sat my party. Then the waiter, much-too-obviously excited that he had a guaranteed gratuity (because of the size of the party), served one of our tables their entrees fifteen minutes before the other, so both tables finished at different times. I had to find the waiter and ask him for the bill because, even after our second table was finished, we sat waiting. It is common knowledge that making your guests wait when they are ready to leave is the number one mistake a waiter can make. We had reservations at a second location - it was, after all, an evening of birthday celebration. We got treated poorly at every stage, but the waiter was particularly disgraceful. I believe that there is no excuse for being anything less than you can possibly be at any given moment.

SALEM, ORE -- The Willamette University softball team split a doubleheader with Northwest Conference Rival Pacific University on Saturday, March 16. The Bearcats won the first game 12-10 and lost the second game 14-7.
Willamette moved to 8-12 overall, 4-6 in the NWC. With the win, the Boxers improved their record to 11-11 on the season, 8-6 in the NWC.
In the first game, Pacific took a two-run lead in the first inning and added to that lead with another run in the third. With the Boxers leading 3-0, the Bearcats' offense exploded in the bottom of the third inning, compiling eight hits that produced nine runs.
Pacific then battled back, scoring seven runs over the next three innings. The Boxers' Jessie Moore completed the rally by hitting a two-RBI double to put Pacific ahead, 10-9 in the top of the sixth inning. In the bottom of the inning, however, the Bearcats responded, as Willamette regained the lead with three runs. Pacific did not score in the top of the seventh.
During the game, Pacific belted three home runs, but it wasn't enough to earn the win. Megan Winans hit a two-run homer in the first inning, Becca Moen blasted a two-run homer in the fourth inning, and Jessie Moore provided a two-run homer in the fifth.
The Bearcats were led by Kellie Snyder (Sr., C, Longview, WA/Kelso HS), who batted 4 for 4 in the game with three RBIs and two doubles. Ashley Pender (Fr., INF, Reno, NV/North Valleys HS) went 3 for 4, and the Bearcats outhit the Boxers 15-14. Hayley Glantz (So., P, Reno, NV/Robert McQueen HS) got the win for Willamette, allowing five hits and three runs over three innings.
In the second game, Pacific scored a run in the first inning, four runs in the third and six runs in the fourth to create an 11-4 lead the Bearcats couldn't overcome. Willamette got as close as 11-7 after plating three runs in the bottom of the fourth. The Boxers outhit Willamette 15-11.
Pacific was batting with two runs scored and one out in the top of the seventh when the game was called do to heavy rain.
Pender led the Bearcats by batting 3 for 4 again, this time adding a triple. Erin Norris (So., INF, Salem, OR/South Salem HS) drove in three runs on 2 of 2 hitting, and Heather Winslow (So., OF, Oregon City, OR/Oregon City HS) added another two RBIs while going 2 for 3 at the plate.
Marissa Reichard was 5 for 5 on offense for Pacific in the second game. She scored four runs and earned three RBIs. Moore went 2 for 3 with a walk and four RBIs.

Four of us ate here recently and had such a great experience, both the food and service was excellent. Giovanni was so friendly and went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed our meal. Everything we ordered was delicious - some of the high notes were the tuna cerviche, braised short rib and brussel sprouts and of course the watermellon fries! We will definitely be back!

I went here for a birthday party recently and had a wonderful experience!! They have a great private room in the basement that you can reserve for large parties (we were ~18 people). Unlike many restaurants in the city, they allow you to order from the regular menu and do not constrict you to a limited large party menu. The servers were very friendly and accomodating. We had to wait about a half hour to be seated, but the maitre'd more than made up for it by giving the entire table free shots and a glass of desert wine. The cocktails are exceptional. Every dish ordered was also delicious, especially the miso cod. I will most certainly be back!!

Very creative and exotic cocktails with interesting ingredients. $7 during happy hour can't beat other drinks at a regular lounge. Food menu doesn't seem attractive but once u ordered it, you'll be surprised how great the food is.

We came here with a party of 12 To celebrate my gf's birthday (it was everyone's birthday this day since we have sung it about 3 additional times for others). We shared quite a few appetizers such as calamari, chips with guacamole, fried plantains, and empanadas ( Which had to have been the best I ever had). I had a whiskey smash, and later on had a Hemingway which contains Flor De Cana (one of my favorite rums). Both of which were very good and pleasantly strong. As a main dish, I decided to go with the Lechon, which consisted of different kinds of Pork, perfect for pork lovers like me. Another really good dish that others in our group had was the arroz con pollo. The rice is simply amazing in it. If you are not a pork eater, I highly suggest having the arroz con pollo. You will NOT be disappointed. Their staff has done an excellent job at accommodating all of us. Excellent food + excellent drinks + excellent service = 5 stars. Cheers

This is a perfect mid-week place AND it's on Open Table. The restaurant is modest on the outside but inside is a warm lively room run by a charming and hospitable owner and manager!! Every dish was delicious. The fish tacos were full of fresh flavors!! Our table's favorites were the panco-coated hearts of palm and empanadas. The paella was very unique yet delicious. Share several of the small dishes, you will not be disappointed! AND If you are hosting a group dinner or bachelorette take a look at the great hidden room downstairs! It's adorable!! I will definitely host a party down there.

South Africans spearheading new Guinea bauxite thrust
South Africans are spearheading a new bauxite thrust in Guinea, which hosts a quarter of the world's bauxite reserves.
Adonis Pouroulis, better known as the initiator of Petra Diamonds – now listed on the main board of the London Stock Exchange – is leading Alufer Mining Limited's thrust from London, where the company is set to raise up to $40 million and seek admission to London's Alternative Investment Market (Aim).
Both chairperson Pouroulis and Alufer CE Danny Keating were formerly South Africa based.
The Pouroulis-founded Pella Resources, Alufer's major shareholder, is an African mining house with more than 20 years exploration and mine development experience on the continent.
Alufer reports that new sources of bauxite are required as the industry faces potential supply constraints including declining quality from traditional suppliers, restrictions on exports of unbeneficiated ore from Indonesia and the lack of investment in new mines globally.
The RBC Capital Markets-advised Alufer intends becoming a bauxite producer by exploiting three billion tonnes of compliant bauxite resources in Guinea, where Pouroulis notes investment in new mines does not match the country's high bauxite endowment.
A prefeasibility study has advanced its Bel Air project, located 15 km from the Guinean coast in West Africa and its Labe project, in the northwest of the country, is also earmarked for development.
First Bel Air production is expected in late 2013, or early 2014 and the company aims to ramp up annual Guinean production to 10 million-tonnes during 2015.
Capital raised will fund the completion of a bankable feasibility study for Bel Air, a prefeasibility study for Labe and asset acquisition and development.
Bauxite, the primary raw material used in aluminium production, is refined into alumina before being smelted into aluminium.
Alufer reports that China's alumina capacity increased to 37 percent of global capacity in the first quarter of 2012 from 11 percent in 2004, to meet demand from the aluminium smelting industry. China's bauxite imports have consequently increased from about three million tonnes in 2005 to 45 million tonnes in 2011.
The company expects global bauxite demand to grow 6.9 percent a year, from 220 million tonnes in 2011 to 750 million tonnes in 2030.
Pouroulis makes the point that the closeness of Bel Air to the coast results in reduced infrastructure requirements and Keating describes bauxite's supply-and-demand fundamentals as particularly attractive against the background of continued high demand from developing economies.
Alufer, incorporated in Guernsey in 2010, is set to be the first Aim-quoted bauxite company, with four bauxite exploration licences covering 2 977 km2, in the Boffa region, which hosts Bel Air, in the Labe region, which hosts the Labe project, and in the Kindia region.
Besides Petra, which has seven producing diamond mines in South Africa – Cullinan, Finsch, Koffiefontein, Kimberley Underground, Helam, Sedibeng and Star – and one in Tanzania – the Williamson mine, Pella Resources is also associated with the Aim-quoted Chariot Oil & Gas.
Petra, which produced more than 1.1 million carats in 2011, is targeting production of more than five million carats by 2019.
Floating production facility for Cepu ready for construction
20/Apr/2012 Intellasia | Jakarta Post
A vessel that will be converted into a floating storage and off loading (FSO) unit for the Cepu oil and gas block in East Java has arrived in Singapore's Sembawang shipyard, paving the way to begin commercial operations in May 2014.
The conversion process for the vessel, named MT Chios, will commence after its official inauguration on April 14 following its arrival in Singapore on March 22, said Rudi Rubiandini, the operational deputy of upstream oil and gas regulator BPMigas.
The conversion process will include cleaning up the cargo, ballast and slop tanks. Installation of platforms in the cargo tanks will follow, and, afterward, a detailed survey will be done. As a last step, all unused machines and pipes will be taken off.
The MT Chios vessel is a very-large crude carrier (VLCC) with a total capacity of 320,000 deadweight tonnage (dwt), able to store up to 1.7 million barrels. It was made in 1993 by Hyundai Heavy Industries with a length almost twice that of a football field at 327 meters.
"After being converted, the vessel's name will be changed to Gagak Rimang," Rudi told reporters on Tuesday.
"We hope the renovation of the vessel can be completed in January 2014 and therefore can be commercially operated by May that year," he added.
Indonesia's dwindling oil output has posed challenges to increasing the production capacity of its blocks, with Cepu being the potential top-contributing block for the government's ambition to reach a million barrels of oil production per day (bpd) versus 930,000 bpd at present.
The Cepu block, which is operated by US-based ExxonMobil's subsidiary Mobil Cepu Limited, is expected to begin producing 165,000 bpd starting July 2014, compared with the current 20,000 and 22,000 bpd using early production facilities.
Mobil Cepu and PT Pertamina EP hold a respective 45 percent stake in the Cepu block, while the remaining 10 percent is owned by regional administration-owned enterprises of Central Java; Bojonegoro, East Java; Blora, Central Java; and East Java.
Development of the block is divided into five engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) projects, of which four are included in the FSO. The FSO project has been awarded to PT Scorpa Pranedya and Sembawang Shipyard with a total value of $298.7 million.
The five EPC projects, which have contracts valued at more than a billion US dollars, are estimated to be completed in 36 months, with the ground-breaking for the first project having been conducted in December last year.

September 20th had been a rainy day and was looking like a drizzly night, but the weather didn't dampen their spirits as Bearcat fans packed into the stadium for the Friday night homecoming game against the Wampus Cats. First, the crowd was treated to homecoming festivities showcasing 15 attendants and their escorts. The homecoming court of lovely young ladies looked simply beautiful, dressed in their finest, and there was loud cheers when Macy Smith, the Senior class attendant escorted by Lucas Austin, was announced as the homecoming queen.

Friday night lights are shining bright for the 2013 Bearcats. The intensity level is through the roof. It is great to be a part of the excitement.
As a parent, it is always mixed emotions as your child takes the field. There is such a sense of pride and gratification to see your child so fired up and intense about something however, deep down suppressed within, lies the fear of injury. You don't often think about it, however you know it exists and you're reminded with each injury-timeout.
Come out and support the team tonight as they play against the Atoka Wampus Cats in the Homecoming game.
Homecoming activities begin at 7:00 pm with kickoff at 7:30 pm.
It was a different looking team when the Antlers Bearcats varsity football squad hosted the Talihina Golden Tigers on Friday, September 13, 2013. Fresh off their win against Valliant the week before, the Bearcats came on strong with Drew McKnight (#2) catching a 37-yd pass thrown by QB Zach Speer (#5) and taking it into the end zone with 2 minutes left in the first quarter. Tanner Brown (#12) kicked the extra point and Bearcats took the lead 7 to 0.

I uploaded a video from my 30 minute dvd onto my Macbook and am trying to drag it into iMovie. The issue is none of the formats at letting me drag it into there. My only goal is to add my website name at the beginning of the video. The MP4 won't work, DV, FLV and Divx Avi. I am using a video converter from Mac with a huge list of formats but don't know which will work to drag it.
I used mactheripper to get the movie on the mac and aiseesoft to put it into the correct format.
No formats will let me drag into iMovie
I will keep trying but any help would be greatly appreciated!

Once you have started your movie in QuickTime, save it by going to File and clicking Save for Web.
You will see it being converted in a panel.
When it is finished, right-click it and select Open in Downloads.
Find it in downloads (perhaps in a folder) and drag it to Desktop.
You will find your movie with the extension .mov or .m4v.
Either of them can be imported into imovie.

A federal court in Atlanta ruled On Friday that the health care reform law's insurance requirement is unconstitutional, delivering the Obama administration's signature piece of legislation its first blow at the appellate court level.
The three-judge panel in the 11th U.S. Circuit of Appeals in Atlanta ruled 2-1 against the insurance requirement. It is the first appellate court to find the insurance requirement violates the constitution.
Chief Judge Joel Dubina and Circuit Judge Frank Hull wrote that "the individual mandate contained in the act exceeds Congress's enumerated commerce power." Circuit Judge Stanley Marcus dissented.
A federal appeals court in Cincinnati upheld the law's insurance mandate in June. Another appellate case is pending at a court in Richmond, Va.
The Atlanta judges ruled against invalidating the entire law, instead finding the law could stand without the insurance coverage requirement. That is a small victory for the administration.
The law still has a long path before a final decision is reached on the insurance requirement. The case is widely expected to be taken up by the Supreme Court within the next year.
Opponents of the health care law hailed the ruling. "Today is a great day for liberty," said Ilya Shapiro, senior fellow in constitutional studies at the libertarian Cato Institute. "By striking down the individual mandate, the 11th Circuit has reaffirmed that the Constitution places limits on the federal government's power."

You've probably know what you should do to make your business a success but do you know what you shouldn't do? No one wants their business to fail or fall into financial difficulty so it's important to ensure you avoid the traps before it's too late. Following the five pointers below is a sure-fire way to put your company out of business.
1. Never change
If you're unfamiliar with the term 'change', then you're heading for trouble. With technology and consumer markets changing all the time, it's crucial to keep up so you know exactly what your target market wants. This helps you stay one step ahead of competitors and ensures you plan for the future. Stay focused by keeping in mind business goals and strategies to ensure your business evolves. Ever heard of that saying, 'failing to prepare is preparing to fail'?
Don't forget to regularly update the company's website, blogs, social media channels and overall design. If your website still looks like it did in 1999, then to many visitors, it will look outdated and off-putting, regardless of how great your products or services are.

I would like to thank the Lake Charles chapter of the Red Cross who took us in for days at their Civic Center after Katrina hit. I will never forget the out pouring of help and assistance we received while going through this disaster. The Red Cross opened their arms and the people of that area came from everywhere to do whatever they could. My only regret was shortly after Katrina, Rita hit and Lake Charles took a hit. I hope that the people of that area were able to find assistance and help compatible to what they offered us.
God Bless You.

Kate Winslet says that she was nearly giddy when she found out that Leonardo DiCaprio would be her co-star in Titanic.
"When they finally gave me the role, I remember calling my friends and family and going, 'You're not going to believe who's playing Jack, you're not going to believe who's playing the boy's part — it's Leonardo DiCaprio, don't you remember him from What's Eating Gilbert Grape?" Winslet recalled in an interview provided by the studio. "I just had so much respect for him that I just couldn't wait to share in the experience with him, you know, because I knew it would be challenging, I knew it would be exciting."
The 1997 film, which won 11 Oscars, is one of the highest grossing films of all time. The premiere of the 3D re-release marked the 100th anniversary of the ocean liner's tragic maiden voyage on April 1912.
"Titanic was the most exciting audition I'd ever been on, so of course I wanted it. I wanted it so badly and you just dig deep and try hard and do the best you can," Winslet said. "So when I finally got that phone call and was told that I'd been given the part, I just couldn't believe it because there were so many other actresses who were more well-known than I was at the time, who would probably have been more suitable in terms of the profile of those women… but luckily, James Cameron was prepared to take that risk and gave the part to me."
DiCaprio didn't attend the worldwide premiere of Titanic 3D in London on Tuesday, March 27, as he was in Louisiana shooting Quentin Tarantino's film Django Unchained, but Winslet and Cameron held down the red carpet.
When asked why she thought the film had been such a monumental success, Winslet said, "The reason the film worked at all is because it's actually a very pure and simple love story. It's a good, old-fashioned Hollywood love story. People will never tire of that, you know, and the sincerity of that."

National Affinity Network
Local affinity groups are what really make the biggest difference to the victims who need them!
Stop Abuse for Everyone (SAFE) launched its National Affinity Network in July 2013. The purpose of the network is twofold: to facilitate the creation of local groups in communities with an interest in providing information, a hotline, support groups, education on the issues, advocate for more services in your area...and to support and assist all victims of family abuse. SAFE will assist in providing information and resources needed to form groups to join our network. Acting independently, many such local groups throughout the country have already established themselves as respected advocates for domestic violence issues within their communities.
While the Network has been an important element of SAFE's program plan since its inception, the stimulus for fast-tracking its implementation has been the apparent need for it; since its launch, SAFE has been contacted by a number of individuals throughout the country who have either participated in the development of such groups or wish to initiate one

2 pounds
lean ground beef
1 (6 ounce) package
STOVE TOP Stuffing Mix for Chicken
1 cup
1 (12 ounce) jar
grape jelly
1 (12 ounce) bottle
chili sauce
I make this sauce all the time for parties. I use frozen meatballs and cook it in the crock pot for simplicity.
This a very tasty meatball. The packaged stuffing mix added great flavor. I made this actually as written. I have made it many times now. I also have froze the meatballs and added sauce on serving day.Then served in a slow cooker for a brunch.
9 Ratings
These meatballs were delicious and so easy! The only change I would make is to crush up the StoveTop stuffing before adding it to the meat. I think it would make the meatballs less chunky. Will definitely make again.
Great Idea!! We loved the sauce. I noticed that most people used premade frozen meat balls. I used 1.5 lbs of ground beef and 1 lbs of Italian hot ground pork sausage. I added about seasoning of about or more of the the following; onion powder, garlic powder, celery salt, mixed pepper seasonings, oregano, and parsley flakes with the Stove top chicken stuffing mix 2 eggs and I used a 1/4 cup of red wine and 3/4 cup of water. The sauce I did not change with the 12 oz of grape jelly and chilli sauce. (used sriacha)Awesome meatballs,, I never thought it would of been so good!!
Yep I use Pepperidge Farm Seasoned Stuffing mix It has herbs and not heavy on sodium. I find cooking them on the stove, in the particular sauce, keeps them much more flavorful and never crunchy or browned like a commercial burger. Simmer a large batch with a top and later lower heat to low. It usually takes about 75 minutes at best!!
Bon Appetite MEATBALLS
Yummy! Took these to a church reception in a slow cooker. Used four pounds of precooked frozen meatballs and doubled the sauce. I felt it needed more grape jelly than called for; otherwise would have given 5 stars. Will make again!
Easy and great.
man these are the best thanks so much for sharing we do alot of parties with friends in the summer and this one i wrote the stuff down and put in my recipe box but never wrote the name down ..... so when it got lost I searched and searched for it ah ha found it finely..... lol's it's now locked in my folder wont lose it again.... again thanks for sharing....

SAPD's accreditation restored in 3-year review
Department is largest municipal member of standards agency.
By Michelle Mondo
August 1, 2011
: Updated: August 1, 2011 11:16pm
Photo By Helen L. email@example.com
San Antonio Police Department Chief William McManus and City Manager Sheryl Sculley (right) announce the department's accreditation through the Commission for Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies.
More Information
The San Antonio Police Department regained national accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Chief William McManus and City Manager Sheryl Sculley announced Monday morning.
The accreditation by CALEA recognizes that the department is now meeting "national best practices" set by the nonprofit organization, Sculley said.
It came after a three-year review that included an examination of more than 400 department policies and procedures by the CALEA commission and a local task force, along with a public hearing in April.
Sculley and McManus said the accreditation makes the department more transparent, adds protection against lawsuits and provides a way of comparing SAPD to police departments in other cities.
It lasts for three years, during which the city follows a maintenance program to make reapplying less of an undertaking, officials said.
The department allowed its accreditation with CALEA to lapse in 2002, according to budget documents.
"(SAPD) is now conforming with all of the national standards," McManus said. "There were 464 standards we had to meet."
He and Sculley couldn't cite examples of any specific policies that were implemented or altered to earn the accreditation.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office is the largest law enforcement agency in Texas to have the accreditation.
SAPD is the state's largest municipal police department to earn the status, according to the CALEA website.
A Dallas Police Department spokeswoman said the agency decided not to apply for accreditation through CALEA because of budget constraints.
The total cost for San Antonio's participation came to $229,855 this year, department spokesmen said.
Mike Helle, the president of the San Antonio police officer's union, said he didn't think the "front-line officer would care one way or the other about accreditation."
The typical officer "just wants good working conditions," Helle said.

The Adoptables
Tucker is large, sweet and goofy. He is also available for adoption and waiting for a family at the Union County Animal Shelter.
This large, adult hound mix is neutered and up-to-date on his shots. He has been at the shelter for about a week.
He likes to play, run and fetch. However, he won't mind sitting still for a belly rub. He will do best in an active environment with a yard.
He is a happy-go-lucky guy who was surrendered by his previous owner. He seems to know some basic obedience and may be housebroken.
Marble is a sweet, quiet calico kitten. She is a domestic short-haired cat who is about four months old. She is up-to-date on her shots and is not spayed, but that is included in the adoption fee.
Marble has a striking face and beautiful fur. Her body shakes with her purr and she wants nothing more than to snuggle up with a new family.
The fee for adopting a dog or a cat is $85. The fee includes first shots, deworming, a heartworm check, rabies shots, spaying or neutering and a one time "well check" vet visit.
The shelter is on 3340 Presson Road in Monroe. The phone number is 704-283-8303. Adoption hours are Monday through Friday from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.

Wedding Cakes with Fountains Pictures
If you don't have any ability to create the wedding cakes with fountains, but you need them right into your taste. So, you are able to decorate it as your taste and style. Ensure that you have prepared the things for decorating it, such as the large wedding cake toppers, decorative pillars, food coloring, and the fresh flowers. The first step that you should prepare is about the security of the decorative pillars. You can drag them in tired with the bottom layer that is elevated from the table. So, the fountain will fit underneath the wedding cake. The decorative pillars will create the classic look. The next step is by adding the dramatic and large wedding cake topper. Traditionally, the wedding cake topper is the standing bride and groom on the surface of the wedding cake in a static position. Here, you have to find something new without any static topper, such as the dancing couple, and some other activities. Describe the couple of the topper that has their time in the fountain.
Wedding Cakes with Fountains Recipes
Creating the wedding cakes with fountains is also about the fresh flowers. The elegance and high class atmosphere will be got from the great arrangements of the fountain. Moreover, the fresh flower also gives extra aroma when the guests walk near the couple and the fountain. It must be a great match between the wedding theme and the fresh water and flower. At last, you should also add the coloring food to your fountain as it can make the fountain stand more attractive that before.

( Peru, Neb.) The Peru Student Education Association (PSEA) will celebrate the birthday of beloved children's author Dr. Seuss by hosting area children on the Peru State College (PSC) campus next Thursday, Feb. 23 and Friday, Feb. 24 for four special theatrical presentations of The Cat in the Hat.
Performances, which are free and open to the public, begin at 9:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. each day in the College Theatre.
More than 1,200 Head Start and pre-Kindergarten through fourth grade students from 15 area schools are expected to attend the annual event, which is held in conjunction with Read Across America Week. PSEA members will also donate books to each of the classrooms in attendance.
Dr. Seuss Chairperson Jennifer Trapp, a junior art education major from Omaha, said, "The Dr. Seuss birthday celebrations present an incredible opportunity for PSC students to gain experience working with children, participate in community outreach, and have lots of fun while donating their time and services. It is a couple of days filled with great times and wonderful memories!"
In addition to the theatrical production, students will be asked to take a "Readers' Oath" and participate in 10 interactive stations designed to engage students in Dr. Seuss-themed, hands-on activities that promote a love of reading.
Dr. Seuss was born Theodore Geisel in 1904. His first book titled And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street, published in 1936, was an instant success. His desire to excite children to read led him to write The Cat in the Hat in 1954 followed by 42 other books. He won a Pulitzer Prize in 1984 and was also awarded three Academy Awards.
