Hidden Palms
CW - executive session, fall season preview - TCA report
The CW's got some funny sitcoms both old (Everybody Hates Chris) and new (Aliens in America -- more on that later), but the network's funniest asset is Paul McGuire, executive vice president, network communications.
Before introducing Dawn Ostroff, president entertainment, The CW, McGuire fires off some zingers to get the reporters up and running.
Of the recycled tote bags that The CW gave to the press (perfect for hauling all our cable swag home), McGuire quips, "They're made entirely from recycled billboards, including some from Hidden Palms -- or as some dirt bag reporter called it -- 'Hidden Ratings.'"
Michael Cassidy joins Smallville
TV Guide's Michael Ausiello reports that Hidden Palms' Michael Cassidy landed the role.
Hidden Palms: Second Chances (series finale)
(S01E08) It's a bit ironic when the show that ends up being your unexpected series finale is called "Second Chances." Unfortunately there will be no second chances for Hidden Palms, and this ends up being the swan song for the series. I was fortunate enough to meet Sharon Lawrence at a party recently, and she said the show definitely isn't coming back. Curse you, CW! Now where will I turn for my need for teens in angst-ridden TV shows? Oh, thats right ... The CW.
What's On Tonight: Fireworks, Hidden Palms, Twilight Zone
- Sci-Fi has a Twilight Zone marathon all day and night, while The History Channel has a marathon of Revolution.

Hidden Palms: Stand By Your Woman
(S01E07) Well, speak of the devil. Last episode I was wishing for Jesse Jo to pop in and drop his Southern-style of sass all over the place. Sadly, he was nowhere to be found. But this episode opens with Jesse Jo in rare form. He's having Nikki tease up his wig collection to keep her mind off of Cliff, when Cliff himself appears at the door. He asks if he can speak to Nikki, and Jesse tells him, "I wuz wonderin' what you'd look like with a round of buckshot in your narrow behind." Zing!
Hidden Palms: Dangerous Liasons
(S01E06) Whoa. At first I felt like I'd been riding a roller coaster during this episode, then it turned into a merry-go-round that kept spinning and wouldn't stop. Then I thought I was going to hurl. When it all came to an end, I was left feeling dizzy, lost, and confused. Probably what Johnny feels like on a daily basis.
Seriously, have you ever seen a character in a TV show who is more easy to manipulate than Johnny? Cliff sweet talks him, and he's all chummy with him again. Liza tells him something, then he's doubting Cliff once more. Greta gives him another tidbit of info, and he's not sure if he believes her or not. He's a bit like Hamlet in that respect. If he just would've listened to his dad's ghost and stayed on course, everything would have ended up a-okay.
What's On Tonight: Patton Oswalt, Paris Hilton, Rescue Me, Top Chef

Hidden Palms: Mulligan
(S01E05) We get a new guest star this week when Greta's dad (Kyle Secor) pops into town, not only does he know something about Greta's mysterious past (does anyone in town not know about this by now?), but he's a bit of a bastard as well. Suffice it to say, if you find yourself guest-starring on Hidden Palms, your character is probably going to have problems. You'll either be a substance abuser, have something to do with Eddie's murder / suicide, or you'll be part of Johnny's past ... or some combination of the three.
Hidden Palms: What Liza Beneath
(S01E04) Holy cow ... this episode took a turn for the weird. I really didn't picture Liza as the weirdly stalkery kind of person. That Photoshopped picture of her and Eddie together sure was a slap in the face. Plus, what exactly is she concocting in that garage of hers? I'm a sucker for science geek girls, but I'd also hope they weren't going to end up blowing themselves up at some point, or spend too much time with toxic fumes. I thought we'd find out what Liza beneath, but what she reveals is just about the most predictable thing you could imagine. What happened to all the mystery and intrigue from the pilot?
What's On Tonight: Last Comic Standing, Hidden Palms, Cash Cab
- At 8, ABC has a new The Next Best Thing, followed by new episodes of American Inventor and Traveler.
- CBS has the new special AFI's 100 Years...100 Movies at 8.

What I'm watching this summer: Kevin's list
First I thought this would be a summer filled with possibly watching one or two summer series, and then catching up on the growing stack of books in my "to be read" pile ... but somehow it's morphed into the "DVR + TV shows on DVD Summer of Rock " *fanfare*. It's actually not that dramatic, but I like to stick fanfare in whenever I can. Theme songs are one thing, but fanfare can pepper mundane events with joy. "Here's your latte, sir." *fanfare* See what I mean?
Hidden Palms: Party Hardy
(S01E03) And we're back! Due to a little syndrome called "My TiVo decided to record the Lifetime channel instead of Hidden Palms," this week's episode review was a bit late. Hopefully you've been tiding yourself over by watching this bee-yotch filled episode a couple of times.
Cliff managed to get popped in the face a couple of times, once by Greta and once by Johnny, but man ... I really wanted to see someone bitchslap the "hee hee I'm a drunken floozy" look right off of Nikki's face. That girl is trouble with a capital Jack Daniels. Who knew she'd be throwing a rager at Johnny's house in the short period of time he took to go see Greta. Plus, wasn't it Cliff who invited all the other delinquents? Still, all things considered, the part I felt the worst about was poor Liza getting snubbed, yet again. At least she got to rub lotion on Johnny this time.
Hidden Palms to end sooner
Hidden Palms was first slated to be a mid-season show and 13 episodes had been ordered. During production, the show's episode number was lowered to 8 and CW decided to keep it for the summer.
Hidden Palms: Ghosts
This episode made me feel some of that heat. When they visit the pool in this episode at the country club, you can almost feel it pouring out of the screen, and you'll start to sweat despite yourself. Am I crazy? Quite possibly. Delirious? For sure ... but I blame it on the heat.
What's On Tonight: American Inventor, Ghost Hunters, Good Eats
- At 8, ABC has a new The Next Best Thing: Who Is The Greatest Celebrity Impersonator?, followed by the season premiere of American Inventor and a new Traveler.
- NBC has the Senators/Ducks game at 8.

By Lucy Duncan
"Slowly we learn that we are all broken, all less than perfect, and that God loves us, each one, wonderfully even so. Slowly we learn that the real love for one another we crave is not the ideal love of my personal façade for your façade, but the imperfect intent to love that my flawed self can offer the real you."
Dominque Stevenson, program director of the American Friends Service Committee's "Friend of a Friend" program, picked me up at the Baltimore train station and we drove the 90 minutes to Hagerstown, Maryland, where I would accompany her into two prisons.
The program, which Dominque takes into four prisons, was designed by the participants in the prisons. Dominque says, "The men were concerned about the increase in violence between gangs/street organizations. They recognized that young men were involved in those organizations because they were seeking a sense of family and community. We discussed the problems as the men saw them and brainstormed the range of solutions.settled on a mentoring model because it allowed them to re-create family and community."
Dominque had the mentors envision their younger partners (some incarcerated and treated as adults at only 14 years of age), write profiles and consider their needs inside of prison and after release. The program focuses on conflict resolution, problem-solving and building positive relationships. There are sessions on parenting, storytelling, managing anger, gender roles and how individual experiences relate to societal structures.
In heavy rain, we arrived at the Maryland Correctional Training Center (MCTC) late in the afternoon. A guard escorted us into the locked and empty classroom building, and then he called for the men to join us. Almost all of the men incarcerated at MCTC are African American or men of color; most of the guards are white. The guard took us into a plain room with hard desk chairs. Dominque said most of the chairs were made with prison labor. People on the outside can buy the chairs and other items too for a low cost, but Dominque noted the income perpetuates the system.
One by one the men gathered in the room, all of them African American. It is clear that Dominque has had a long relationship with them — she has been working with the men at MCTC since 2006 — and that they were excited to see her and one another.
As for me, the men were very gracious and welcoming. When they greeted me, each of them looked me in the eye in a way that made me feel really seen, recognized. I noticed their energy, and felt as though I were in the midst of great spiritual strength, the kind borne of facing great hardship and finding peace and freedom in the midst of that.
The session began with Dominque talking about a few of the men who had been in the program and had been released. One of them had to take a train somewhere and wrote extensive notes to himself on how to do it, because he had been on the inside so long that he hadn't ever taken a train. Dominque described the fear some of the men have when they are released, facing new experiences every day, trying to negotiate a world that isn't very friendly to them.
It was then time for the men to begin their dialogue. Dominque said, "The basis for this program, for all we do, is love, but we haven't talked about love for a while and it's time again." She invited a man to read a poem she brought. Then she asked, "What do we mean by love?"
As I listened to the men, I felt as though they were reciting 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, but the words were their own and had been written on their hearts.
A tall, older man started, "Love can be defined as a noun or a verb. When you're in love, that feeling can fade. Then what? Mature love is about what you do, how you act, the sacrifices you're willing to make."
A younger man continued, "Love is a willingness to endure, tolerate those who are unpleasant, unkind, unforgiving. Love is patience, a willingness to withstand onslaught, stand on what you believe."
A big man, who's been in the program a long time, said, "Family has grown; we're brothers here. We've stuck with this, didn't let this fall. It's black men seeing each other as each other."
A man across the room answered, "Love is a service. You do something for someone else."
Dominque responded, "I love the community like myself, but in order to have the big love, I have to show love to myself."
A man with laughing eyes said, "My daughter is bitter, but she doesn't have to do anything; I love her to death. I love her because I understand why she might be bitter. She doesn't have to do anything though, I just love her; she's my daughter."
Across the room, an older man said, "Love makes us vulnerable, to feel another's hurts."
A man responded, "Sometimes love is letting go of someone, letting them make their own mistakes. I let you go, so you can learn yourself."
Another said, "Look, we can only grow in our time. There's no time to waste. But that's why patience is so critical."
One of the younger participants said, "How do we define family? If your brother's been oppressed, help him. If your brother's been an oppressor, help him by helping him to stop the oppression."
Another responded, "Sometimes love and hate feel so close."
The first man replied, "One issue is we lack understanding, and love is the highest degree of understanding. You can hate someone's actions, but love the person. If you hate someone, you're hating the creator. We need to hate the action. We hate others because we lack understanding."
An older man said, "We have a government that doesn't advocate love. I don't expect the government to offer love. Humans make it up but don't behave in human ways. We've come from communities that were denied love."
Then was this definition of love, from a younger man, "Every heart is wounded. Love is a willingness to be vulnerable. You've got to be willing to admit you're afraid. What we're doing right now is vulnerable."
"In this group we're taking the risk of love. With what I shared, I could be played on. This does make you stronger," responded one of the older men.
From across the room a voice said, "Doing this, it gives birth. Just yesterday I was sitting with police. He said, 'I've been watching you, you deserve more than what you're getting.' Love, this kind of sharing, it gives birth."
Too soon the guard came and told us it was time to finish up. The men said a very warm "good-bye" to me and invited me to visit again. We walked down the hall. I felt so safe in the midst of these men and asked them if they would be walking with us across the yard. They said, "No, we'll be following after."
Dominque said they used to walk with her, that she felt safer, more comfortable when they did, but the prison administration said they couldn't anymore. Now she has to walk alone back across the lawn and out of the prison. We walked through the chain link fences, under the concertina wire, past the reception area, back to Dominque's car for the drive back to Baltimore.
It felt so incongruous to me, to have such amazing spiritual energy locked up, hidden and almost inaccessible to those of us in the community. It's clear these men are sharing their wisdom in the prison, changing their world, mentoring younger men and ministering.
But what could they do if they were among us, teaching us, living and growing? I don't know what they did to get locked up — many are there on drug charges — but they all seem to have owned it, whatever it was, and some painfully live with what they did. I wonder what it does to us to miss their smiles, their wisdom, their amazingly powerful, loving energy. What does it do to us, to our hearts, to exile them apart, away from their children, their partners, their communities? Do we not arise from one spirit expressed in distinct earthen vessels? What about forgiveness?
What role do we as Quakers have to play in holding our communities with the kind of big love that brings about transformation? Can we offer one another such fierce love as Dominque and the men in this program offer one another? Can we hold one another as the walls and prisons around our hearts break open? Can we call out the human in one another, our communities and our institutions? My prayer is that we try.

text: dirtdoc1 5pts Randy Pobst does not like the way Jags handle and admittedly has a hard time driving them. Because of that, I don't think he drives Jags to their full potential. At Laguna Seca he got a faster lap (by over 1 second) in the F-Type V8s Convertible than the R-coupe, which is 80 times more rigid, more powerful and lighter! Something is wrong. He also got a better time in the M6 than the R coupe! The R-coupe weighs 3600 lbs, the M6 is over 4000 and they both have the same HP! On the VAR the XKRS got a better time than the M6 so the R Coupe should murder it! Something is definitely wrong with Randy Pobst track times in Jags.

Toxic America
Digging up one of Chevron Texaco's old pits in Texas
I live on a 38,000 acre south texas ranch. Texaco (now Chevron) has operated a 7,110 acre lease here called the McGill Brothers since 1935. They have been the only operator on their acreage and continue to operate the lease today.
Many people have heard of the Chevron lawsuit in Ecuador - but few realize that Chevron has the exact same pits across the USA. Texaco and Chevron dumped produced water and oil sludge pits across the region until 1985. They did not remediate these pits, just buried them. They continue to leach into the groundwater. People in my area suffer a lot of leukemia and other cancers. It's a very poor rural area. The groundwater is full of BTEX and other components of oilfield brine. The Texas Railroad Commission turns a blind eye to the burial of the pits and the tax payer picks up the tab for the indigent medical care. Only the older major oil companies that operated here pre 1980 are involved. This is not a modern drilling issue. I am pro-oil and gas industry! I am just against bad operators.
Here are the lab tests from the soil that I dug up in the video. Note - these are quick screening tests from the top layer of black dirt. (just what you see in the video) The pit was dumped in continuously from 1945 until around 1985. In a few months, the environmental firm will come with a rig and bore down. The deeper soil borings and groundwater will be sampled. Then, I will add these results. The EPA standard is .1 per cent of hydrocarbon. These results are in parts per million - unless otherwise noted on the report. Also, in this file, there are several internal Chevron and Texaco documents discussing the contamination issues with the pits. Enjoy!

Stadler GTW
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2015)
|Stadler GTW
Stadler GTW Railcar, seen near Austin, Texas
|Stadler Rail AG
|Number built
|Maximum speed
|115–140 km/h (71–87 mph)
|37–62 t (36.4–61.0 long tons; 40.8–68.3 short tons) (GTW 2/6);
72.4 t (71.3 long tons; 79.8 short tons) (GTW 2/8)
|Track gauge
|1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1⁄2 in) standard gauge
1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in) for the Panoramique des Dômes and Hellenic Railways Organisation
The Stadler GTW is an articulated railcar for local transport made by Stadler Rail of Switzerland. GTW stands for Gelenktriebwagen (articulated railcar).
Stadler GTW is family of vehicles which differ externally, in the various designs of the head of the vehicle (from angular to streamlined), and also in the different designs and power units that drive them. They also come in different gauges and as rack railway vehicles. The basic version is the GTW 2/6, a railcar which conforms to UIC standards. "2/6" means "two of six axles are powered". The GTW 2/6 is used for example by Deutsche Bahn as Baureihe 646 (Series 646) and by Swiss railways as RABe 526.
The basic concept is rather unconventional: the car is driven by a central "power module", also known as a "powerpack" or a "drive container", powered on both axles. Two light end modules, each with a bogie, rest on the power module, which produces useful traction weight on the driving axles. The end modules also use the space very effectively, although the railcar is divided into two halves by the power module. Most units have a path through the drive container for passenger access. The end modules can be delivered with standard pulling devices or buffer gears, or with central buffer couplings. They are built with a low-floor design except above the bogies and at the supported ends (more than 65% of the railcar is low-floor). All of the usual comforts to be expected in a modern local network railcar are provided, such as air conditioning, a multi-purpose room, vacuum toilets (in a washroom suitable for the disabled) and a passenger information system. The GTWs can be Diesel-electric or electric-powered (via overhead wires or third rail). 551 units have been sold to date[when?] and are in use in Austria, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Slovakia, Switzerland and the United States.
There are diesel propulsion modules with 550 kW (740 hp) (since 2003) with 2 x 375 kW (503 hp) = 750 kW (1,006 hp) power available, and electric propulsion modules with 600 to 1,100 kW (800 to 1,480 hp). IGBT based traction converters together with asynchronous motors are used as drive units. The traction converters are manufactured by ABB at their site in Turgi, Switzerland and the motors by TSA Austria.
By inserting a middle car (also with only one bogie) on one side of the propulsion module, the GTW 2/6 is expanded to GTW 2/8. Instead of the middle car, another drive module can also be inserted. Between the two modules are then either a trailer passenger car (GTW 4/8) or two medium cars and partitions (GTW 4/12). For operational flexibility up to four GTWs of the same pattern can be operated as a multiple unit.
New Jersey[edit]
- Southern New Jersey Light Rail, (SNJLR)
- New Jersey Transit uses 20 GTW diesel light rail vehicles on the 34-mile (55 km) River Line service between Trenton and Camden. The diesel LRV offers a tighter turning radius than typical main line light rail vehicles (i.e. Siemens Desiro, Bombardier Talent, etc.) and thus is capable of street running, a capability used in the River Line between Walter Rand Transportation Center and Entertainment Center stations in Camden.
- GTW trains are also planned to operate on SNJLR's Glassboro–Camden Line, currently in development.
Central Texas[edit]
The Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority (CapMetro) in Austin, Texas, uses six Diesel rail vehicles of the type GTW 2/6 on its 32-mile (51.5 km) red line from Leander to Downtown Austin.
Denton County, Texas[edit]
The Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA), announced on May 20, 2009, that it would purchase 11 GTW 2/6 articulated diesel multiple units (DMUs) for DCTA's 21-mile (34 km) corridor from Denton to Carrollton. This line connects with the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Green Line which extends from the Pleasant Grove neighborhood in southeast Dallas to northern Carrollton. The contract includes an option for up to 25 additional GTWs.[1]
The Panoramique des Dômes in France uses 4 GTW 2/6 since opening in 2012.[2]
In Italy GTW are used by some regional railways, and called ATR:
- ATR 100: Societá Automobilistica Dolomiti (SAD)
- ATR 110: Ferrovie Udine Cividale (FUC)
- ATR 110 - ATR 120: Sistemi Territoriali (ST)
- ATR 115 - ATR 125: Ferrovie Nord Milano Group
- ATR 200: Ferrovie del Sud Est (FSE)
The Swiss Federal Railways use a narrow version of the GTW 2/6 (RABe 520) on the Seetal railway line and between Lenzburg and Zofingen.
THURBO uses a large fleet of RABe 526 (GTW 2/6 and 2/8) on various lines in eastern Switzerland. Regionalverkehr Mittelland bought several GTW 2/6, which were later extended to GTW 2/8 and finally sold to the Swiss Federal Railways in 2013.
Various narrow gauge railways use GTWs: Chemins de fer du Jura, Biel–Täuffelen–Ins-Bahn, and the Transports Montreux–Vevey–Riviera.
The multinational transport company Arriva uses the diesels on the lines: Leer (Germany) - Groningen, Nieuweschans - Groningen, Delfzijl-Groningen, Leeuwarden - Groningen, Roodeschool - Groningen, Veendam - Groningen, Zuidbroek - Groningen, Leeuwarden - Sneek, Leeuwarden - Stavoren, Leeuwarden - Harlingen Haven. From December 2012, Arriva is also using diesel GTW's on Arnhem-Winterswijk, Winterswijk-Zutphen and Zutphen-Apeldoorn. The electrified GTW are used on the lines Dordrecht - Geldermalsen and since December 2012 also on Zwolle - Emmen.
Veolia Transport used the electrified GTW on the lines Kerkrade Centrum - Heerlen - Maastricht Randwyck, Heerlen - Maastricht, and the diesels are used on the lines: Roermond - Venlo - Nijmegen.
Connexxion uses one electric GTW for the line: Barneveld Centrum - Amersfoort and is using 9 diesel GTW's for the Breng concession starting December 2012.
HO scale (1:87)[edit]
In 2011, German model manufacturer Piko introduced a model of the GTW 2/6 in both Diesel and Electric versions in a wide range of liveries including DB-AG Regio red, SBB-CFF-FFS (Swiss Railways) Thurbo and Arriva's Spurt livery. These models are in their "Expert" range and retail for around 200 Euro - accessories available include DCC decoders, interior lighting kits and sound kits for both Diesel and Electric variants. The model themselves can be obtained in DC/DCC 2-rail and AC 3-rail Märklin compatible versions.
Besides, the Swiss model manufacturer (HAG) also produces the higher end GTW 2/6 and GTW 2/8 in THURBO livery which is of metal body construction, metal pantographs, lit destination signs as well as LED interior lightings with figurines in the interior of the train. Also optional are the onboard sound option which features the GTW 2/6 / GTW 2/8 being factory-fitted with Loksound V4.0 sound decoder that can support up to 15 functions.

A Mississippi news anchor took to Facebook to suggest that maybe the LGBT community needs to take some time off from being in the spotlight and enjoy a "gaycation." He has since apologized.
WLOX-TV anchor Dave Elliott got himself tangled up in some controversy after he posted on his personal Facebook about how the LGBT community might be in the media too much, reports TheWrap.
First Elliott noted that he is supportive of the community, which is always the precursor to some controversial comment, then he added, "But it seems like they've been in the news too much lately. Maybe they should take a short break. Go on gaycation just for the weekend."
The ABC, CBS affiliate station has not said whether or not there will be a punishment for the post, but took to the WLOX Facebook page to say that Elliott made the comments on his personal Facebook page and any further comment he has will be posted there, according to Gulflive.
The news anchor did apology saying, "I recently made an insensitive and unprofessional Facebook post regarding the LGBT community. I did not choose my words wisely and I sincerely apologize to anyone who was offended by it."

Group marshals resources for families with austic members
During research for his master's degree in psychology, Mark McDonald saw something familiar when he saw the symptoms for Asperger's syndrome, a form of autism.
Actually, it might be more accurate to say he saw someone familiar, himself.
"I said, 'That's me,'" said McDonald, a board member of Reach for a Difference, an organization that helps families with a member on the autism spectrum marshal the resources at their disposal. The organization held its monthly meeting, at the United Way building on Cypress on Tuesday.
"The strain of autism runs through my family very strong, on both sides," said McDonald. "It was not unusual for one of us to go in our room for hours to read."
McDonald wasn't surprised that his two children were diagnosed with Asperger's, as well. His son was diagnosed at age 3 while his daughter wasn't diagnosed until she was 8.
Shelby Weatherford, an marriage and family life counselor in Abilene and the president of Reach for a Difference, said a recent study by the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta showed that one in 50 children is somewhere on the autism spectrum.
"I think we've gotten better at diagnosing it," he said. "I don't think there a lot more people with autism now. I think in our parents' and grandparents' time, they just called them odd. They were the people that worked in our space programs, the techno geeks. People who might not have had great social skills but were brilliant."
Weatherford said the group meets to give people a chance to be with other families who are dealing with similar issues and to help gather the resources to be more easily accessed. He uses the word "partnering" quite often when talking about the organization.
"When people have a child diagnosed, it can become overwhelming," he said. "You're thinking about treatment, about the cost, everything."
Reach for a Difference tries to create "A Roadmap for Resources" by bringing together different groups in the city and the area who deal with autism and help the families for things as disparate as how to approach a school for special education services to finding restaurants that deal with children who don't act typically, said Weatherford.
"That's a key word, typically, not normally," he said.
Paul Ammons, director of the School of Social Work at Abilene Christian University and the treasurer for Reach for a Difference, said he believes there is an increased awareness of autism which helps families come to terms with their child's condition and seek resources more quickly.
"It's overwhelming," he said about the diagnosis. "People need to start asking questions and doing research."
Early diagnosis is key to dealing with the condition, said Weatherford.
"The research shows that 40 percent of the children diagnosed before (age) 3 have an almost complete recovery," he said, which stresses the importance of not only parents be quick to diagnose a child, but also educators, ministers and physicians.
Weatherford borrowed a well-known phrase to describe what was needed.
"We come together as a village," he said. "It takes a village."

U.S. Department of Energy Approves the Export of Liquefied Natural Gas
According to reports from the United States, the Department of Energy has approved a proposal that will see a company in Texas export liquefied natural gas to other countries. This approval was given to the Freeport LNG Expansion L.P. They now have the go ahead to export at least 1.4 billion cubic feet of this type of natural gas every day. This gives the company a chance to take full advantage of the huge boom in natural gas production in the United States thanks to shale extractions.
Right now, this agreement allows Freeport LNG the right to ship this natural gas to other countries that do not currently have free trade agreements with the United States. Usually the lack of free trade agreements with certain countries is there to keep public interest in mind.
This is sure to open the door for more companies to ask the government for the same kind of agreement. In fact, energy companies around the United States have been asking for federal permits to export natural gas to other countries. There has been such a huge demand for these permits thanks to the shale natural gas boom in the United States. Companies now see this as a chance to make a huge profit off other countries that are in the middle of a power crunch.
This huge influx of natural gas from the United States does not look like it will be ending any time soon. This is all thanks to a huge increase in natural gas from a process called hydraulic fracturing. This is a technique that involves drilling a hole and blasting water down it to break rocks. These rocks then release the natural gas trapped inside.
Although this method is making the United States a lot of money, it is still a very controversial procedure. Some environmentalists are worried that hydraulic fracturing will only lead to earthquakes and the contamination of groundwater. Despite these fears, there has been no evidence that supports these claims.
Either way, hydraulic fracturing has lowered the price of natural gas in the United States. It is so low, in fact, that the price of energy has been on the decline. This is very different than other places in the world like the UK, where energy prices have been on the rise. The UK will likely start importing extra natural gas from the United States in order to help keep its energy prices stable.

These retreats are far more than simply hanging out with camels for a day. They offer the potential for enjoying a rich depth of feeling on every level, guided by the contemplative strength of camels, trees, rocks, earth and sky; wordlessly drawing us to do as they do… if we relate to them sensitively.
The camels here are regarded and treated as a Sacred Herd. You'll discover that the older camels are tacitly aware of why you're on retreat, why you've come. Your meetings and interactions with them will perfectly serve you in precisely the ways you need. Our retreats have a unique orientation that is not found or offered anywhere else.
One good day on retreat with the herd of camels will be a gift you will long cherish and draw from.
Open to anyone, fifteen years or older. A basic level of fitness is essential to participate.
Retreat Fees
Regular: $100
Discount: $50 for regular monthly supporters of the sacred camels & horses.
Special group visits and retreats can also be arranged. Please contact us for more information.

If you've come looking to answers
By zuggjery on Dec 16, 2013 02:42 AM
If you've come looking to answers to a VPN in China blocked, there are a few things to clarify. Some VPN services are blocked in China. Some VPN protocols are blocked in China. A VPN Torrey Smith Jersey service is not the same as VPN protocol, and they are blocked in different ways, at different times, and getting around it will involve different solution.
Just a few days ago there was another VPN in China blocked (VPN service). Which VPN service is it this time? Today, it's StrongVPN. Now that isn't to day that it won't be up tomorrow, and that isn't www.ravensofficialnflprostore.com/ravens-lardarius-webb-jersey-c-12.html to say that this VPN is blocked in everywhere in China. That is to say however, that is blocked partially, perhaps temporarily, and there's no saying what's going to happen tomorrow. This time, the block is just the site, and the VPN itself (some protocols) seems to be working fine, in most parts of the country.
This brings me to my next point. There some VPN protocols which are blocked in China. A VPN protocol is related to the structure of the VPN, how it encrypts your information and keeps your IP address hidden. Two of the older, or more simply constructed VPN protocols L2TP and PPTP have Lardarius Webb Men's Jersey been blocked in China. This, again, is not everywhere, and not all the time. Interesting huh?
So if you're thinking of getting a VPN, how do you know which VPN is blocked in China, and which ones will help you to bypass Internet censorship? This is a difficult question to answer. For one, if you're getting a VPN for your mobile device, this is a risk. Because most mobile devices like iPhone, iPad, and other smart phones use L2TP and PPTP exclusively, there is a good chance that if you buy these types of VPN protocols, you won't be able to use them. Be sure to ask your VPN service before purchasing if upgrade is possible. Some mobile devices have hacks that can make the device usable with other VPN protocols (you may have heard of "jailbreaking" for iPhone), but this could affect the warranty www.ravensofficialnflprostore.com/ravens-torrey-smith-jersey-c-5.html of your device and isn't recommended.
If you've got a laptop, you don't have to worry so much about whether your VPN in China is blocked or not. This is because SSL/OpenVPN is still active and able to be connected without a problem. SSL/OpenVPN has yet to be blocked by a government that tries to censor the Internet. China is able to block VPN sites, like in the case of StrongVPN in the past couple days. They have yet to find a way to block using the actual VPN however.
Need to tunnel The Great Firewall but can't find a VPN that isn't blocked? Look around for free proxies, free VPN services, or other sites that allow you to use "https" on their site as opposed to "http". Most of these sites are blocked or slow, but you should be able to get enough hide from Big Brother long enough to land on the VPN site you're trying to access. For the time being however, there are still many VPN services that still have their sites up, as well as VPN running. A VPN in China blocked isn't a big deal. Many new services keep popping up and for the time being, The Great Firewall isn't able to keep up.

Probably the best overall LED headtorch on the market. Ample light, ample light settings, great battery longevity.
Rating: 4 / 5
The batteries last a long time (I normally use it on the low light setting to read at night). It is light weight. It comes with an extra LED button battery light. And you can get these on sale for $20 for both lights. I've been extremely satisfied with this light.I decreased my rating slightly on 7/19. I never had problems with the light not working, as Brett has. I would only take this light when the days become shorter and where I want to read at night. I haven't done that for quite some time now.

[the rating is to be used for comparing to other task/proximity lighting headlamps using ONLY 5mm LEDs. this rating has no bearing on the Aurora's capabilities when compared to dissimilar headlamps using 1W LEDs.]for an older 3xAAA headlamp used for proximity/task lighting, this headlamp is still a good choice. it only uses 3 5mm white LEDs as opposed to some newer competing models using 4 (or even 5) 5mm LEDs.when compared side-by-side to the original Tikka/Zipkda and the newer Tikka+/Zipka+, this is how the side-by-side comparison turned out (all with new batts - all on "hi").the Aurora was noticeably brighter than the original 3LED Tikka/Zipka. this may be due to the configuration of the 3LEDs in a triangular arrangement versus the linear arrangement of the Tikka/Zipka??? however, the newer 4LED Tikka+/Zipka+ was noticeably brighter than the Aurora. BTW, the lesser known 7LED Streamlight Septor is a fine headlamp and is brighter still, with all 7 5mm LEDs "burning", as one would imagine, but has a much shorter batt life, is slightly heavier and bulkier. and, as such, to my mind at least, even though a fine headlamp, is not to be preferred over the Aurora.the Aurora's button requires a bit too much force to operate and can be difficult with thick gloves or mittens.the infinitely adjustable friction hinge is very good and has yet to loosen up. the headband and the headlamp are quite comfortable on the head even for long durations of use.the flatter profile of the Aurora is to be preferred (it carries better in the pocket) over the Tikka and Tikka+ more rounded profile. battery life has been quite good. i haven't kept "score", but this means only one thing, viz. i haven't noticed batt. life to be so short, that i felt the need to keep track for the next set of batts. until the newer 4LED Tikka+/Zipka+ came out, this was my choice for a task/proximity light (when a single LED Photon Microlight was insufficient for the task at hand). now, the Tikka+/Zipka+ would be my first choice, IF i needed just a little more light than the Aurora provides on "hi".[note: cf. my review of the Tikk+/Zipka+ in the Review Thread for the Tikka headlamp.]
Edited by pj on 11/19/2005 02:47:15 MST.
This is an excellent value headlamp, often available for around $20. It has been around awhile, and while not the brightest light in the patch, it holds its' own well.It is easy to operate with a single non-recessed switch, with multiple settings, giving adequate light and reasonably long life for the 3 AAA batteries.The only negative I found with this light is replacing the batteries: The clamshell can be a pan to open if you don't have thick thumbnails. The entire compartment, with watertight gasket is a tight fit, and can be difficult to get the clamshell design closed back up if the gasket gets a little bit out of kilter.Good light, gives some of the more expensive lights a value run for their money.
I picked up the PT Aurora 4 or so years ago when I was starting to get into backpacking. I looked at a few different headlamps, but at the time this seemed like the best value. Since then it has been on every outing with me. The headband is comfortable and the hinge has yet to feel loose. I normally operate it on low and the batteries last a long time that way. I don't replace the batteries regularly, but have never had them die on me in the field. The only disadvantages I can think of are that the button is a little hard to operate with heavy gloves on and its a bit of a pain changing the batteries. Although there are newer and lighter headlamps out now, I don't feel the need to get any since the Aurora is still going strong. I highly recommend it, especially since its a very reasonable price now and comes with the little pinch light.Adam
Rating: 1 / 5
Initially I thought this was a great light; cheap, relatively light weight, and good illuminatiton output.However, after 3 months of daily use (about 15 service hours), the switch contacts failed and the light became useless.I will not buy a PT again. I wouldn't even carry it if it was free, now that I have lost confidence in it.

What Are the Most Stressful Jobs in 2013?
Stressed at Work? It's Probably Your Parents' Fault
It might be easy to blame your boss for all the work-related stress and high anxiety coursing through your veins, but a new study suggests that you might want to start pointing the finger at your family instead.
Well, sort of. Scientists have found that genetics play a significant role in how you react to your work environment.
Majority of US Employees Experience Work-Related Stress
Stressed out about your job? You're not alone. A new survey of US employees finds nearly three-quarters of them experience at least one of a variety of workplace-related worries.
It's True — We Really Are More Stressed Out Now Than We Were 25 Years Ago
In the first-ever historical comparison of stress levels across the US, researchers have now determined what many of us have suspected: adults are a lot more stressed out now than they were just 25 years ago.
Can You Catch a Cold from Being Stressed Out?
Doctors have long thought that stress exacerbates the symptoms of many auto-immune diseases, and now they've found evidence linking it to the common cold, as well.
Stress Hormone 'Switch' Could Improve Some Neurological Disorders
In reaction to a threat, our brains set off a chain of biochemical reactions that result in the release of cortisol — the body's stress hormone — from the adrenal glands.
Researchers have now discovered a switch in the brain for regulating this process, which could hold great promise for people suffering from stress-related neurological disorders.

2010 Lincoln MKX Ownership Costs
Cost of Ownership data coming soon
There is no cost of ownership information available for the 2010 Lincoln MKX Base Sport Utility at this time
2010 Lincoln MKX Base Sport Utility cost of ownership data is powered by
Ownership costs are the costs to purchase and operate a vehicle over a period of time. Understanding these costs may enable you to save money and help you make a wiser decision when choosing your next new car.
Regardless of the "value" claims that you may read in car reviews or hear in advertisements, the economic value of a car is based on how much it will cost to own and operate compared to its purchase price. In a sense, purchase price is "what you pay" and the ownership costs are "what you get."
Ownership costs can differ greatly. The cost to own and operate two different vehicles with equal purchase prices can differ by thousands. Of course when evaluating ownership cost for used cars and trucks, a vehicle's condition and mileage will greatly impact ownership costs, therefore it's important to compare similar vehicles in similar condition for an accurate picture.

Basic Warranty:
The basic warranty covers everything except items that are subject to wear and tear or replacement in the ordinary course of vehicle ownership, such as oil and air filters, wiper blades and brake pads. Tires and batteries are often excluded, but usually have their own warranty provided by the manufacturers of those items. Emissions equipment is required by Federal law to be covered for five years or 50,000 miles.
Drive Train Warranty:
In some cases the drive train warranty continues after the basic warranty has expired. This part of the warranty covers most of the parts that make the vehicle move, including the engine, transmission, drive axles and driveshaft. Like the basic warranty, consumable parts such as hoses and belts are not covered. However, most of the internal parts of the engine, such as the pistons and bearings, which are also subject to wear and tear, are covered by the drive train warranty.
Roadside Assistance:
Many manufacturers provide a service that will rescue you if your car leaves you stranded, even if it's your fault. Lock yourself our of your car? Run out of gas? Got a flat tire? A call to the manufacturer's toll-free number will result in somebody showing up who can help you out. There is a huge variance in these programs so check ahead of time to see what is covered and what you will have to pay for.
Rust or Corrosion Warranty:
Rust or Corrosion Warranty: This warranty covers the vehicle's sheet metal, and protects you from rust and corrosion that are severe enough to cause a hole - surface rust is not covered. However, if you keep your car washed and waxed rust shouldn't be a problem.

'SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE' Scores Its Top 18-49 And Total-Viewer Results Of The Past Year - Hosted By Charles Barkley And Featuring Musical Guest Kelly Clarkson, 'SNL' Sweeps To Its Highest National Nielsens Since Jan. 8, 2011
Last weekend's telecast, hosted by Charles Barkley and featuring musical guest Kelly Clarkson, dominated its 11:52 p.m.-1:22 a.m. ET slot with a 4.l rating, 16 share in adults 18-49 and 10.1 million viewers overall. These are the highest "SNL" averages since the January 8, 2011 edition hosted by Jim Carrey with musical guest The Black Keys.
Note that the start of the January 7 telecast was delayed to 11:52 p.m. ET by an NFL overrun.
In adults 18-49, "Saturday Night Live" tied for the #5 ranking among entertainment telecasts for the week of January 2-8 on ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and CW, ahead of every non-sports/non-news primetime program on those networks except "Modern Family," "Two and a Half Men," "Grey's Anatomy" and "2 Broke Girls," and tied with "NCIS."
Season to date, "Saturday Night Live" is matching its year-ago adult 18-49 rating (2.9 vs. 2.9, "most current") and is running within 0.1 percent of its year-ago average in total viewers (7.450 million vs. 7.460 million).

The Nominating Committee makes recommendations to the IFAC Board, Council, and Public Interest Oversight Board (PIOB), as appropriate, regarding the composition of the independent standard-setting boards—the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board, International Accounting Education Standards Board, International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants, and International Public Sector Accounting Standards Board—and the IFAC Board and committees.
The Nominating Committee is guided by the principle of selecting the best person for the position. In so doing, it endeavors to balance the nominee's abilities and professional qualifications with a desire for representational diversity on the boards and committees. The Nominating Committee also seeks a broad geographical and professional representation as well as representation from countries with different levels of economic development.
Each year, the Nominating Committee issues a call for nominations. Beginning in 2014, the Nominating Committee will issue two calls—Call for Nominations for the Independent Standard-Setting Boards and Call for Nominations for the IFAC Board and Committees.
Nominations for the independent standard-setting boards may be submitted by all stakeholders, including international organizations, governmental agencies, self-nominations by the general public, as well as IFAC member bodies and the Forum of Firms.
Nominations for the IFAC Board and committees may be submitted by IFAC member bodies.
The volunteer members of the boards and committees are central to their effective functioning. Volunteers contribute mainly through active participation in meetings, task forces, and working groups, and are committed to acting in the public interest (see Expectations for Volunteers for more information)
