Gov. Susana Martinez and New Mexico Environment Department Secretary David Martin met Tuesday with senior U.S. Department of Energy officials to discuss high priority issues for the ongoing environmental clean-up efforts at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
The meeting served as an opportunity for Martinez to meet Don Cook, deputy administrator for the National Nuclear Security Administration's defense programs, David Huizenga, Acting Assistant Secretary for DOE's Office of Environmental Management. Los Alamos Site Office Manager Kevin Smith, Deputy Assistant Secretary Frank Marcinowski of the Office of Regulatory Compliance and Assistant Manager for Environment George Rael at LASO also participated in the meeting.
The governor told all parties at the meeting that the acceleration of transuranic (TRU) waste shipments from LANL to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad is a top priority of her environmental agenda.
She also reiterated the importance of groundwater protection efforts and ensuring that storm water runoff from LANL and surrounding areas does not adversely affect drinking water systems, including the Buckman Diversion Project in Santa Fe.

What is Green Tea used for?
Green tea and green tea extractextractto get, separate, or isolate a desired active ingredients, such as its component EGCG, have been used to prevent and treat a variety of cancers, including breast, stomach, and skin cancers.
Green tea and green tea extracts have also been used for improving mental alertness, aiding in weight loss, lowering cholesterol levels, and protecting skin from sun damage.
Your health care provider may have recommended this product for other conditions. Contact a health care provider if you have questions.
What else should I be aware of?
Laboratory studies suggest that green tea may help protect against or slow the growth of certain cancers, but studies in people have shown mixed results.
Some evidence suggests that the use of green tea preparations improves mental alertness, most likely because of its caffeine content. There are not enough reliable data to determine whether green tea can aid in weight loss, lower blood cholesterol levels, or protect the skin from sun damage.
NCCAM is supporting studies to learn more about the components in green tea and their effects on conditions such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.

Green tea and green tea extracts contain caffeine. Caffeine can cause insomnia, anxiety, irritability, upset stomach, nausea, diarrhea, or frequent urination in some people.

Wednesday-December 12, 2012-The Leg Workout & Great Feedback
I stayed up again late last night. Still managed to get up at 5:30 this morning. I guess this has not been too disturbing because I have been able to get myself back on schedule fairly quickly. I do, however, much prefer to be up at 5:00 and will be getting myself back on track starting tonight. Besides, there is no more television that I want to watch. The Amazing Race and The Voice are over, so I will be hitting the sack at no later than 9:30 now! LOL!
What I have tried to do with my workouts since the injury is to rid myself of those exercises that render little or any benefit to my overall physique. I also made a very significant reduction in the total number of reps of any exercise that I do, which not only shortens my workouts, but most importantly, helps me to avoid overuse injuries. The addition of the full body daily stretching regimen has yielded tremendous results and I can say that my arm and shoulder continue to feel better every day---about 90% with little or no pain on any given day. My leg workouts are prime examples of my new approach to working out. Today's workout was short, but fairly brutal. LOL! I, like many folks, am not a fan of leg day. This is why I placed it in the middle of my workouts on Wednesday, "HUMP DAY." After this workout is done, the workout week is all downhill.
Today I did my stretching regimen and then put on my 20-pound weighted vest to do those BLEEPING squat thrusts---3 sets of 35 of them. After that, still with the vest on, I hit 3 sets of 35 quad squats. I don't have a lot of weight, but believe me you will feel these exercises in your legs. The squat thrusts hit the entire leg, while those quad squats really burn the quads.
The second part of the leg workout occurs outside in the midst of the 3-mile interval run. After running two laps (.4 mile), I did 1-minute of rope jumping, walked to the marked place on my course for the 40 yard traveling lunges, then walked the curve of my course into the next straightaway for the 40 yard bounds, and walked back to the beginning of the course and started the entire process again. By the time I finished this 5 times, my legs were spent. It was, however, a good day to be out in the weather. It was cloudy, a bit breezy, and cool---mid 40s. I still, however, managed to break into a sweat! LOL! Nevertheless, I was glad to get back into the house, get that very hot steamy shower, and massage the legs with some "old folks" rub, and then get a hot first meal of the day! I am going to get some rest today, because later I will be putting in a new broiler element in the stove. It should be arriving any time now and it will be a chore to move the stove and do all that is needed to replace the element.
One thing I would like to mention is that I APPRECIATE the great feedback that I have been receiving from my friends. I had a great week of workouts last week and felt that set me up to start seeing some great progress. I am FINALLY feeling like I am starting to look like my "old" self---a bit more muscular---for the first time since starting full workouts after my arm and shoulder injury. Your feedback has confirmed what I THOUGHT I was seeing in my pictures. A number of you have commented that it looks like I have gained some mass back. Thanks for the confirmation.
This is the reason I encourage all who join bodyspace to fill in a profile. You cannot get good critiques, encouragement, and feedback (with a few occasional nasty comments at times! LOL ) if you don't put up some pictures, goals and information about yourself. Put aside your fears and fill in that information.
I will admit, that I got so tired of the blank profiles showing up in the friends section on my page that I deleted about 50 profiles. Among them were also a few with profiles, who seem to mostly "collect" friends (literally thousands of them) but did not interact. Funny thing is after getting the "Over 40 Transformation of the Week" recognition. I added 50 plus new friends and all of their profiles but two have profile pictures. I added those two because their profiles were otherwise complete. I don't understand, however, complete profiles, without the profile pictures. I have encouraged and still encourage them to add a profile picture. I thank all of my friends, old and new, for their support and feedback.
Tomorrow is ab day, with stretching, followed by the final 3-mile run of the week. I am trying to get my lower abs back to their old "fuller" look. I need to do a bit more weighted work and may find a way to add some on tomorrow.
I am wishing you all a great HUMP DAY! " title=">" />
Here is what I did today:
- 3 x 35 Squat Thrusts with 20-pound weight vest
- 3 x 35 Quad Squats with 20-pound weighted vest
- Stretching Regimen
- 3-Mile Interval Run with:
- 5 x 1-Minute Rope Jumping
- 5 x 40 yard Traveling Lunges
- 5 x 40 yard Bounds

AMD may have unveiled the first few Fusion chips, but it has yet to unleash its high-end Bulldozer processors, a product whose release a certain report claims to have found the schedule for.
While Advanced Micro Devices has scored quite a few design wins with its Fusion APUs, it does not have anything that can really compete with Intel's mainstream and high-end Sandy Bridge chips, not yet at least.
Of course, this doesn't mean that the Sunnyvale, California-based company doesn't already have a release plan for such solutions.
In fact, the folks over at X-bit Labs claim to have seen a document with the exact release schedule for AMD's upcoming CPUs.
In total, there will be two quad-core AMD FX4000-series models, two six-core FX6000 chips and a total of four 8-core FX8000-series processors. Also, there will be eleven dual-core and quad-core APUs from the A series.
The first AMD FX-series units powered by the Bulldozer architecture will debut in June, 2011, with the high-end ones set for the 20th.
They are meant for desktops and are likely intended to paint a nice image for the entire CPU line of the year, since these high-tier processors are set to outperform Phenom II units by 50%.
Obviously, a performance increase of 50% over current central processors is nothing to be frowned upon, especially if the world's second greatest x86 chip supplier manages to keep prices accessible as well.
Not long afterwards, the aforementioned A-Series APUs (accelerated processing units) will come forth, with the first Llano slated for July 4.
Of course, it is possible that the plans may still suffer some changes, but there is no doubt that AMD is getting ready for a serious push on the consumer chip market, though it did not comment on this particular report.
All that remains is to wait and see, and speculate on how the formal launch will actually take place and if it will be held at the E3 trade show or not.

Garment factory in Zhongshan City, China
As a child Justin Jin (b.1974 in Hong Kong) yearned to see the world. He left for boarding school in England and went on to study philosophy and political science at Cambridge. Reuters hired Justin as a correspondent in Beijing, giving him an entry into journalism. While working as a reporter, he became fascinated by photography and taught himself, soon after leaving the wire service to produce in-depth photo reportage. In 2002 Justin was selected for the World Press Photo Master Class. Some of his stories are self-initiated, others are commissioned. Having spent the previous seven years in Amsterdam, in 2006 Justin moved to Moscow.
About the Photograph:
"Workers take a dawn break after scrubbing jeans all night using a sanding machine in Mr Huang's factory in Zhongshan city, China. The blue dust from the jeans is a heavy irritant to the lungs. China, the "factory of the world", is also the major producer of blue jeans. To meet production demand, thousands of workers sweat through the night scrubbing, spraying and tearing trousers to create their rugged look. At dawn, workers bundle the garment off to another factory for packaging and shipping around the world. The workers are among the 200 million migrant laborers criss-crossing China looking for a better life, at the same time building their country into a mighty industrial power."

Christian Keenan (b. 1973, England). " After leaving school I joined the British Army for several years. It gave me the travel bug and an interest in the world around me. After leaving the army I spent a few years figuring out what to do with myself. A family member gave me a camera and once I developed my first film I was hooked. I suppose the only thing that really interested me with regards to photography was the ability to tell a story. So after a while of teaching myself how to use a camera I got a job with a local paper for a few years after which I moved to Hong Kong and spent several years documenting China. During this time I won a world press photo award for my work on the Uighurs of Kashgar as well as a few other awards. I am currently working out of Jersey, Channel Islands.
About The Photograph:
"I wanted to document the old Tibet and not Tibet as we know it today, I had heard about this place called The Labrang Monastery in Xiahe and how it was a bit off the beaten track and not frequented by hoards of tourists. The Monastery was a delight to document and it seemed as though I was the only foreigner there, which was great as it opened so many doors. Pictured here are a Tibetan family preparing to offer scarves during their pilgrimage to the Monastery. Many Tibetan families travel for days to visit the Monastery."

"I took a small number of portraits of the Beijing petitioners in late December 2007 as I thought they'd certainly not be allowed to stay around during the Olympics due to China's obsession with " keeping face" and showing off as a perfect host city. Many of these people have struggled for years in their native provinces to seek justice, therefore Beijing's petitioner's offices are their last recourse. Sadly, most are detained and then sent back to their native provinces. In the days leading up to the Olympics, houses were still being demolished. Recent news from a petitioner describes his situation as follows: 'our neigborhood has been dismantled… more than 10,000 of us including homeless people live on one bowl of vegetables a day. Some of us have been beaten by officials dressed up as petitioners.' "

Cyclone Nargis , Burma, 2008
Editors note: Today is both the anniversary of 8.8.88 as well as 8.8.08, the opening of the Beijing Olympics. Twenty years ago the Burma military junta killed tens of thousands of innocent Burmese on the streets of Rangoon. Unfortunately we are not in a position to name the photographer for the reasons above.
About the Photograph:
"Hhaing The Yu, 29, holds his face in his hand as rain falls on the decimated remains of his home in the Swhe Pyi Tha township, near Myanmar's capital of Yangon (Rangoon), on Sunday, May 11th, 2008. Cyclone Nargis struck southern Myanmar a week ago leaving millions homeless and has claimed up to 100,000 lives. Experts have warned that Myanmar now runs the risk of a public health crisis that could take an even greater toll, as the country's military government has been slow to allow in international aid.

Abandoned Leprosy Village. China, 2007
Born in 1980, Kosuke Okahara began his professional career at age 23, after his college graduation. Since the beginning of his career, he has been devoting himself to the theme of "Ibasyo" which refers, in Japanese, to "People's physical and emotional space where they can exist", or "Inner-peace of the people." His recent work deals with people who are involved in illegal activities at the bottom of society in Colombia, and young Japanese people who are struggling with self-injury. He has covered stories in Asia, Africa, and South America. His works have been published in TIME.com, Newsweek Japan, PHOTO, AERA, Playboy Japan, Photografica, ASAHI Camera, among others. His photos have also been exhibited at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, Nikon Gallery, Tokyo, and the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Thailand. He is a member photographer of Agence VU.
About the Photograph:
"This is a photo story of the daily life of former leprosy patients who exist in the shade of China's recent economic boom. Though leprosy is an old disease that is 100% curable by medicines, there are over 600 leprosy villages in southern provinces of China housing over 40,000 ex-leprosy patients. In the villages, some people remain disabled but they are not effected by leprosy anymore. When multi-drug therapy became available in China in the 80's, people recovered from the disease. However, these people still live in villages isolated in remote areas because of the long-lasting discrimination against the the disease. In many villages people do not have an access to clean water and electricity, and live in very difficult conditions. They earn between nothing and $50 per month from the government. Like the poor farming villages they remain outside of China's recent visable economic growth."

About the Photograph:
"The kiss series started with one picture of Russell Monk blowing a kiss that I sent to Peter Dennen at Aurora Photo and then to Susan Welchman at National Geographic. They were all a huge influence and motivator for the series. I did this because of the light subject as opposed to the other stories I always tend to work on. I knew I would also be traveling to over 13 countries in three months so it would be something I could shoot on the side. They are beautiful close-up shots of people from all over the world and different ethnicity's." Holly's words about the project echo my exact same reasons for selecting this series.

Two Portraits from "Planet Shanghai" © Justin Guariglia
Born in 1974 in Maplewood, New Jersey, Justin Guariglia has lived and worked in Asia for nearly a decade before returning to live in New York City in 2006. He is the author of the critically acclaimed photography book SHAOLIN: Temple of Zen, which the Aperture Foundation has turned into a 100-piece internationally traveling photography exhibition. Guariglia is a regular contributor to Smithsonian magazine, and is a photographer and contributing editor to National Geographic Traveler magazine. He has been nominated for the International Center of Photography's Young Photographer Infinity Award, selected as a Fotofest Discovery of the Meeting Place, received several photo of the year awards, and was named one of the "30 Young Photographers under 30" by Photo District News. His book Planet Shanghai was recently published by Chronicle Books.
About the Photograph:
"While I love Beijing, the cultural capital of China, I quickly became enamored with the character, and characters, of Shanghai's back streets. There seemed to be a greater sense of pride, joy , and cohesion among the inhabitants here than elsewhere-as if they knew they were part of the club- the club of the real and everlasting. Like the artwork in Venice's churches and pallazi, here the Shanghainese seem to be art in its original setting. The setting is the streets, and the art is the people themselves, living life in an urban alfresco, and often clad in silk to boot." (more…)

Traditional Uyghur Home, Western China
Carolyn Drake is a documentary photographer based in Istanbul. Her work has been supported through grants from the Fulbright Program, Duke University, and National Geographic and honored by UNICEF, World Press Photo and POYi. She was chosen as one of Photo District News' 30 emerging photographers to watch in 2006 and as one of the Magenta Foundation's emerging photographers in 2007. Her photo career began at the age of 30, when she decided to leave her multimedia job in New York's Silicon Alley to learn about the world through personal experience. She studied history and media culture while in college at Brown University and later learned photography at ICP and Ohio University.
About the Photograph:
"The photo was taken at prayer time inside a Muslim home in Xinjiang, the autonomous Uyghur region in western China, where traditional life has been in decline for the last 100 years. In Xinjiang, many Uighurs still hold fast to rural traditions, working family farms, and traveling between vast stretches of mountain and desert to trade and mingle, but this lifestyle is quickly deteriorating under China's vigorous modernization policies. The world's powerful empires fold together here, influencing ethnic cultures that are among the world's oldest. I traveled to Xinjiang at the end of a two month journey through the former Soviet Republics of Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. It was fascinating to step over the border into China after spending so much time thinking about the region in relation to the Soviet Union."

Old and New Shanghai. China 2007
Boris Svartzman is a French-Argentinian freelance photographer based in Shanghai. He has lived in China for seven years, including two years studying at the university in Chengdu and Shanghai. He graduated in France with a degree in philosophy and sociology. Photography and social studies are two complementary ways for him to describe the world. His series on China's demolition has been selected in the Paris Match Students Photojournalism Competition (2005), in Visa pour l'Image Photojournalism Festival (2006), and published in Foto 8. He is represented by Prospekt Photo Agency in Italy.
About the Photograph:
"This photograph is part of a series about the demolition of old neighborhoods in Shanghai which I considered the first chapter in the urbanisation of China. It took time to gain access and trust to photograph the living conditions of the underpaid workers.. They weren't used to having human relations in a city where they are forced to hide from the public. They are recycling materials of the demolished traditional houses in this photograph. After talking and showing an interest in their work some of them opened their doors and invited me to dinner."

I've been a patient of Dr. George A-Ezzi for over 11 years, and I have always been very pleased with his practice. He is very friendly, passionate and knowledgeable. If you ever have an emergency situation (such as the one I have), he will admit you and take care of your condition as quickly as he can. And He will call after a tough appointment just to make sure you're doing all right. His office is equipped with the latest dentistry technology (I love his CEREC machine) and everything is super clean. The entire staff is super nice and friendly. I can't say enough good things about them. If you're looking for a dentist in the Greater Merrimack Valley area...go there. I Highly recommend him. BOB S.

Today is Martin Luther King Day. It is also the day that the United States celebrates the inauguration of Barack Obama as its 44th president. The significance of this timing is lost on no one. As strident as the lamentations of bipartisan deadlock in which we find ourselves are the reminders of Dr. King's proclamation that 'hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that". For me, the duality of the occasion reflects my current preoccupation with the idea that as much as we crave the order of left and right, love and hate, there are no absolutes. There is no hard and fast. Life is one big grey area.
I'm not sure how this realization escaped my notice. (Yes I am. I've spent my life to date comfortably ensconced in the refuge of the black and white.) Lately I find myself dwelling daily in ambiguity, a word which translates directly from the Latin for 'to wander'. Indeed, my mind wanders 'round and 'round: Am I doing right by my family, my friends, my community, my self? Should I give more of my time, my energy, my emotion? Am I thinking too much? Not enough? Would it be easier to eat this avocado toast with a fork than with my fingers? Extend these questions beyond my personal life to the challenges that face our world at large and my brain coughs, sputters, chokes like a manual transmission at the hands of a fretful student driver.
Yet with connection comes comfort, and my brain can't stop seeking both. At a not-so-long-ago inauguration ceremony, when Martin Luther King Jr. still lived and when the entering electee faced a country severely divided—he'd won by even more narrow a victory than President Obama did last November—the poet Robert Frost recited his poem 'The Gift Outright'. It is a compact piece of verse. Sixteen brief lines embody the American Revolution, its unfinished story, its uncertain legacy. The President who asked Frost to speak at the inauguration would be dead less than three years later, his own legacy a mix of unfinished stories and uncertain character.
The chorus of patriots and pioneers, poet laureates and Presidents tunes my clamorous thoughts to a single quiet note of solace: These celebrated scions of history didn't have the answers any more than I do. Their ambiguities, though manifested on a more grand scale, were no less grey. So even when the fog seems most thick, we must never stop wandering. Wondering. Coming 'round to the words of Dr. King: "Faith is taking the first step even when you can't see the whole staircase."
P.S. Here's a quick and fascinating essay for more information on Frost at Kennedy's inauguration. Images: 1, 3, 6. instgram.com/ohsully 2. 4. 5.

This camera also features a Makeup function that creates beautiful photographs of people's faces: high end image processing can smooth skin and soften facial shadows caused by sunlight. The photographer gets to choose to apply such image processing at one of twelve levels, from weak through strong, and can shoot while checking the results of the effects in the LCD monitor. At last, a camera that brings out all the beauty of the human face, creating images worthy of holding onto for a lifetime.

I bought this camera October of last year and two weeks later it broke, without dropping it or misusing it. After bringing it back to the store it was replaced with a new one of the same model, and yet, a few months later, is it now broken again. This is the worst quality camera i have ever used.

Comments about Casio Casio Exilim EX-Z250BK Digital Camera:
This is my second Casio Exilim Zoom camera and the reason I purchased this camera without looking at others. I loved my Exilim Zoom EX-Z750, 7.2 mega-pixels. It was a fantastic camera that took excellent photos that were sharp, clear with great color balance. Its only con was flash recycle. I expected this EX-Z250 to be provide the same quality photos or better since it is a 9.1 mega-pixel camera and hopefully faster flash. The LCD screen, style and features are great, but unfortunately I can tell a difference in photo quality. In comparing photos, my old camera definitely takes better quality photos. After contacting Casio, they could not advise me of any setting changes to improve the photos. Therefore I can only conclude this camera is not as good as my old one and I cannot recommend it. [...]

Help. Help, help, help.
DS is not, never has been, a good sleeper. From birth, basically. He didn't STTN until he was 5 months, and does so only about once per month. On average he's up anywhere from 4x to every 20 minutes. He sleeps in a full size bed in his own room. We have a consistent bedtime routine, he goes to bed around 8 after bath/books/prayers. No issue falling asleep on his own. The problems start usually around 11 pm.
We have tried everything to get him to stay in his room (let alone sleep). Tried later/earlier bedtimes, white noise, sleeping with more/less loveys, warmer/cooler pjs, no liquids after 7, etc - even when I slept WITH him in the bed he still woke up 3/4 times a night. Now, he gets a timeout if he gets up more than twice, and he has started now getting up just to say ('mommy i need a timeout'). Or he screams and yells until one of us walks him back to bed. Part of this, I am sure, is him testing boundaries. We have ruled out any medical issues. He says he gets up to check on me. At bedtime he tells me "I don;t want you to sleep." I believe him. I want to be loving and calm but nighttime is not that time for me, and I am harsher than I want to be. This has been going on for so long...it's hard on our marriage and resulted in me having virtually no short term memory.
We tried putting a gate up in the hallway between his room and ours. He broke it. (It's a metal gate.) We thought about closing our door at night, but it's right in front of a staircase so that's not an option. I am truly at my wit's end. DH suggested locking his door at night - essentially, locking him in his room. This seems to me like a recipe for childhood trauma but I really don't know what else to do.

WOONSOCKET – An intense fire apparently breaking out in a finished breezeway left Paul and Lorraine Jacobs without a home Friday afternoon.
Paul Jacobs, 69, the well-known local video and sound company owner who records meetings of City Council and other popular events, also lost equipment and possibly years of recordings when the fire swept through an attached garage and the two-level home at 49 Hillsdale Street while the couple was away.
No one was in the dwelling at the time, but a city firefighter was reported overcome by heat and exhaustion while battling the fire and was transported to Landmark Medical Center by rescue for observation, according to firefighters.
Jacobs and his wife were comforted by other family members, friends and neighbors after arriving at the fire scene just after noontime but were devastated by view of their heavily-damaged home seen from a neighbor's driveway nonetheless.
"It's not good," Jacobs said after firefighters had put out most of the fire and were working on mopping up the remaining hot spots in the now roofless garage.
"There's nothing left in the house and garage and the office is all destroyed," Jacobs, who operated his business from the house, said after being allowed a quick survey of the damage with firefighters.
Some of the equipment Jacobs uses to video City Council meetings at Harris Hall was stored in the basement of the dwelling and Jacobs said it appeared he might be able to salvage some items he would need for Monday night's meeting of the panel. Firefighters had also pulled some of Jacobs sound equipment from the garage while fighting the fire but it was not known if the equipment had been damage.
Jacobs also did not know the condition of video tapes and DVDs he had produced over his many years of broadcasting meetings and events such as Autumnfest, and would have wait to determine how much had been saved. Firefighters gathered up and removed as much of Jacobs' equipment and records as possible while completing the mop up.
Jacobs' daughter, Paula Berard, who was joined by her husband, Robert, and son, Jacob, at the scene, said she was relieved that no one had been seriously injured but was still worried about the long term impact of the fire on her father's business.
"It's easy to say it's just stuff in a house, but it's not just stuff when it is something you need to make your living," she said.
Jacobs said he and his wife had left their house at 10:30 a.m. to go to eat lunch at the Woonsocket Senior Center. A neighbor driving past the house at 11 a.m. had not noticed anything unusual, Jacobs said. At about noon, Jacobs said he received a call on his cell phone from WNRI Radio personality and friend, Jeff Gamache, telling him his house was on fire.
Another friend and fellow East Woonsocket resident, Dave Lahousse, had heard about the fire and helped to get the word to Jacobs.
Jacobs, himself, had been an early resident of the neighborhood, building 49 Hillsdale Street in 1965 when Hillsdale was just a dirt road and serving one other residence.
Although overwhelmed by the loss of his home, Jacobs took solace in the help people were offering his family at the scene.
"The neighbors have been fantastic," Jacobs said.
Deputy Chief John Danis termed the fire a difficult one to fight given the amount of fire showing at the time units arrived on scene at about 11:42 a.m. Initially firefighters did not know if anyone was home and made an entry to check the residence. Jacobs subsequently arrived at the scene and informed firefighters everyone was out of home.
A wood stove was operating to heat the breezeway area but Janis could not say Friday afternoon if the stove had been the source of the fire.
The heavy fire load in the breezeway area, possibly fueled by contents in that area, had spread to both the garage and into home, consuming a portion of the outside wall of the house and continued up in the upstairs level where two bedrooms were located.
The deep snow in the neighborhood and tight confines of the street hampered firefighters trying to work around the home. Mayor Leo T. Fontaine's decision to idle the local department's smaller ladder truck, Ladder 1, as a cost savings also left firefighters with only city's large aerial rig that had difficulty maneuvering the neighborhood.
The aerial truck was used to put a water cannon over the roof to knock down hot spot during the mop up.
Danis said two fire marshals went to work on a probe of the cause Friday afternoon but he had not yet received a report on the cause.
The Jacobs had been given several offers of temporary housing by friends and had not yet decided where they would stay. The home was not viewed as habitable and may have to be completely rebuilt, according to Danis.
Fire engines from Cumberland, Blackstone and North Smithfield assisted the local department at the fire scene and with city coverage while blaze was being fought. The Providence Canteen truck respond as did Cumberland's air supply vehicle.
Lahousse brought the firefighters sandwiches from Kay's, his restaurant on Cass Avenue, and other neighbors opened their homes to Jacobs' family members. The home was insured but Jacobs could not say Friday if it would be repaired or rebuilt.
"The firefighters worked very hard but when they got here it was engulfed," he said. "They said a fire can smolder for a while and when they open up the building it just goes," he said.

A Concrete Pioneer Passes
Oct, 23 2013
The Founder and Governing Director of the Cementaid International Group, Mr. Peter Aldred, DFC, died peacefully at his home in Sydney, Australia, on Saturday the 12th October, 2013, aged 90.
Peter Aldred was a decorated warrior for liberty and freedom, a veteran airman of the Second World War; he was a great inventor, a great businessman and leader who grew the Cementaid International Group from one man alone in Perth, Western Australia in 1946, to the world-wide Cementaid international group of today in 2013, employing over 300 of us and growing.
Peter Aldred leaves a great legacy of beneficent innovation and service to the world of concrete and construction; He researched, invented and delivered HPI™ (Hydrophobic, Poreblocking Ingredients) to structural concrete. His famous HPI™, the Everdure Caltite System is installed in 38 countries around the world. This now time-proven innovation was first used in 1958. Caltite makes it possible to produce permanently dry, non-absorptive concrete that eliminates conventional 'waterproofing', this dry concrete also delivering design-life durability, structural concrete free from corrosion.
Peter Aldred was a generous man of conviction and enormous ability, an honourable man, an honest man who instilled the ethic of unbridled service and honesty to his company's clients; of humour, unbounded happiness and most of all to his family, a great, sincere and deeply loving father to his children.
A good life, lived well.
Vale, Peter Aldred

Games are meant to be played by people but if a person has a limited amount of time to play a game(say 30mins-1hr) that honestly doesn't add up to much. The addition of the OPTION to bot when away means this player who has a life can still complete a bit more than if they were only limited to playing for a short amount of time.
Also the majority of the games that have bots focus more on PvP rather than PvE such as Mu Online where end game means killing players,guild wars,castle siege,etc.
On topic though...
Jade Dynasty has a bot system I believe. The majority of games that are released usually don't have bots nowadays since grinding is reduced greatly. Might I suggest Aura Kingdom? It has easy leveling so you can get quite a bit done with whatever time you have.

Newbie - Need Advice on Everything!
Hey fellas,
Just bought a 2003 F-250 2WD a couple of weeks ago swearing that I would keep it stock, but that's proving to not be the case (I should have learned after my car and bike)!
I want to put a leveling kit on it but it is 2WD and it appears that nobody makes 2WD leveling kits? I'm not really looking to lift it, and I'd like to retain my towing capability, but I do want to level it!
I'd also like to put bigger wheels and tires on as well. The stock 16x7 rims are on there and I was able to get new tires out of the dealership, but they put on these crappy commercial tires which look like pizza cutters on my truck! I was looking at KMC Hoss rims in black, 18x9 which lends me to my next couple of questions - what size tires, what lug pattern, what backspacing? I was looking at Toyo M/T tires? I would like to avoid any rubbing whatsoever
Now for a couple of interior questions - I'm in the navy and do a lot of diving, will neoprene seat covers be better than the stock cloth? Also the front seat belts take forever to wind back up and only with a lot of assistance, is there anything I can do to correct this?
How do I remove the front lisence plate holder?
Thanks in advance and here are a couple of pics of my truck!
Daystar makes a leveling kit for 2wd's. Its hard to find people that have any experience with the kit because most SD's are 4wd but ive heard from others on DS that havent had any problems with the kit. They can be found on ebay and by googling Daystar leveling.
Youre lug pattern is 8x170 and when looking for wheels make sure you get a BS for 99-04 as the '05-07 and '08+ are different.
I had neoprene covers in my old Frontier and they were amazing. They got dirty as hell and when washed cleaned up just like new. The seats underneath never showed any signs of wear.

Last month, Miss Pippi visited her friends at After School Matters. She shared library events and new books. Here are some favorite books from her school visit...
Lighthouses are amazing buildings constructed on islands, rocks and shorelines. They are built to keep people safe on sea and on land. We began storytime by sharing the world's first lighthouse - The Pharos in Alexandria, Egypt.
The words yes and no contain few letters, but they mean so much! We use these words many times through the day. It's good to celebrate the everyday things. We started storytime with a big word to describe yes and no. Yes and no are antonyms. Antonyms is another word for opposites. We talked about different opposities like up & down along with fast & slow. Our world is full of antonyms.
Miss Liz and Dewey had a special guest for storytime this morning - Miss Pippi!
Autumn is in the air, but surprise, surprise, it's not officially Autumn until Friday, September 23rd! We celebrated early, because we didn't want to miss the official date. Our storytime began with a Count Down to Fall. We discovered different leaves and animals on each page.

Written Answers - Public Procurement Contracts
Tuesday, 24 April 2012
Dáil Éireann Debate
300. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the steps he is taking to promote small and medium enterprises take up of procurement opportunities. [11321/12]
Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform (Deputy Brendan Howlin): I am very aware that public procurement can be an important source of business for local enterprises. In general, SMEs' flexibility and ability to respond speedily to requirements can be advantageous in competing for local contracts. Procurement guidelines (Circular 10/10) issued by my Department require public bodies to promote participation of small and medium-sized enterprises in the award of public contracts. These guidelines set out positive measures that contracting authorities are to take to promote SME involvement in a manner that is consistent with the principles and rules of the existing public procurement regulatory regime. The guidance also highlights practices that are to be avoided because they can unjustifiably hinder small businesses in competing for public contracts. The key provisions of the guidance include:
Both the National Procurement Service and the development agencies, such as Enterprise Ireland, offer training and support to businesses in order to raise awareness of public procurement opportunities and to improve the capacity of indigenous firms to compete effectively for these opportunities.[534]
301. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the number of State contracts that have increased in size in the past three years; if his attention has been drawn to contracts such as the Bord Gáis contract; the steps that he will take necessary to reverse the trend facilitated by the centralisation of procurement towards larger State contracts; and the way he will ensure that small and medium enterprises based job retention and creation can be promoted by changes to Government procurement. [11320/12]
Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (Deputy Brian Hayes): The National Procurement Service (NPS) in the Office of Public Works has responsibility for initiatives in procurement to achieve efficiencies and value for money for the Irish taxpayers.
Since its formation in 2009, the NPS has put in place a number of national contracts for use by all Government Departments, Offices and Agencies. Prior to this, the Government Supplies Agency (GSA) had put in place contracts for use by Government Departments only. Due to their availability to a wider number of clients, all of the contracts put in place by the NPS are larger than those previously put in place.
The NPS has made continuous efforts to ensure that Irish Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are able to take full advantage of the public procurement opportunities that arise and are available to them.
The NPS facilitate seminars for SMEs, which cover all the issues relating to competing for public procurement contracts, including: Public Procurement regulations, accessing the market opportunities, the tendering process and general guidance on how companies should approach the preparation of tenders. A number of seminars were delivered to ISME and to Chambers of Commerce in 2010 and 2011. Workshops were also delivered on public procurement opportunities in association with Enterprise Ireland and Intertrade Ireland. The NPS has also produced a leaflet "Top Tendering Tips for Public Sector Contracts", which is freely available.
A significant development in the area of facilitating the SME sector was the publication, by the Department of Finance, in August 2010 of Circular 10/10. These guidelines to public contracting authorities aim to ensure that tendering processes are carried out in a manner that facilitates participation by SMEs, while ensuring that all procurement is carried out in a manner that is legal, transparent and secures optimum value for money for the taxpayer. It addresses the concerns that SMEs have regarding access to public procurement opportunities and highlights practises that are to be avoided where they can hinder small businesses in competing for public contracts. These arrangements include:
NPS policy seeks to encourage participation by SMEs in public sector competitions. SMEs that believe the scope of a competition is beyond their technical or business capacity are encouraged to explore the possibilities of forming relationships with other SMEs or with larger enterprises. The NPS tender documentation for larger contracts allows and encourages SMEs to come together to bid for these contracts. Larger enterprises are also encouraged to consider the [535]practical ways that SMEs can be included in their proposals to maximise the social and economic benefits of the contracts that result from a tendering exercise.
The NPS has conducted a major consultation process involving all energy stakeholders including: the Commissioner for Energy Regulation (CER); Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Energy providers and public service clients. Due to the nature of the energy market, the need to encourage greater competition and the potential size of the public service demand it was apparent that there was a distinct risk that a single public service contract would distort the market. The NPS concluded that the optimum procurement strategy for electricity and natural gas would, therefore, be through the use of multi party framework agreements.
The NPS conducted an EU competitive tender process which has resulted in Electricity and Natural Gas framework agreements being put in place for supply to the public sector. There are five different companies on the Electricity Framework and seven separate companies on the Natural Gas Framework.

Starting to talk about a second service pack for Windows 7 when Microsoft has yet to offer the public any details on SP1 might seem like jumping the gun, but then again, it appears that what may be ridiculous for the world is just planning ahead for the company. Reports indicate that the software giant is already exploring the development of Windows 7 SP2, at just three months after the general availability of the operating system, and with SP1 still kept under a tight lid. And after all, Microsoft ran tests involving Service Pack 1 well before Windows 7 was released to manufacturing on July 22nd, 2009.
According to Wzor, planning for Windows 7 SP2 has already kicked off in Redmond. In this sense, the Russian website indicates that the software giant is looking to start the actual work on Windows 7 SP2 one month before it will offer SP1 to the public. Windows 7 SP1 has a reported release date set for November 2010, which would have the development of SP2 start as early as October this year.
At the end of the past week, the first screenshots of Windows 7 SP1 were leaked in the wild. So far, various sources have confirmed that Microsoft has already started, or is going to be starting the external testing of Windows 7 SP1. The first to get Service Pack 1 bits will be testers close to Microsoft and company partners. The first time that Windows 7 SP1 popped out was with post-RC Builds 7200 and 7225 of Windows 7 in June 2009. At that time, Microsoft was apparently testing the integration of SP1 into Windows 7 RTM.
Of course, Microsoft continues to be mute on Windows 7 SP1, not to say SP2. The only information available for Windows 7 SP1 comes from third-party sources, some more reliable than others. Such reports reveal that Windows 7 SP1 has passed the pre-Escrow period for the Beta development milestone and is currently in Escrow with the public release planned for April 2010. Following Windows 7 Beta, Microsoft will reportedly offer early adopters a Release Candidate of the service pack, and will RTM the bits in the second half of 2010.
