A Happy Marriage
When I met Mitch Owens a few years ago in the offices at Elle Decor I did not know that he was the author of the esteemed design blog, An Aesthete's Lament. I did not find out until a few months later when another blogger casually mentioned it in an email. It immediately made sense that this blog, which reflected a near encyclopedic knowledge of design, was the work of a seasoned and talented interior design writer. Mitch is currently Special Projects Editor at Architectural Digest and Ms. Russell has made an honest man of him. No more clandestine meetings on the blogspot - Mitch is blogging as The Aesthete on Daily AD. And, in case you're worried that I've outed him, I have not; he casually steps from behind the curtain in his first post. I will be looking forward to more.

As much as I like Mr. Owen's writing on his blog, I have zero
interest in following him on AD's website. I guess at the end of the day
most bloggers are trying to parlay their work into a money making
operation and things are bound to change. And the magazine world wants to
come up with a way to compete. Unfortunately they (the mags) only serve to
suck the life blood from the very thing that made blogging appealing in the
first place. You'll seldom get candor and honesty on the pages of a

Thank you for the reveal.The point of view of AL's was mysterious at times, and somewhat gender non-specific, not that men cnanot be interested in porcelain or silver patterns, but the confirmation does shape how one reads the blog. I too look forward to more.

Thanks so much, Patricia, for the shout-out, which is very much appreciated. I'm happy you have always been a fan. Mutual admiration!

Anon - In this particular case I don't think your perspective is accurate. Mitch was working for magazines long before he was blogging. In addition, his editors at Elle Decor and AD were aware that he was penning AL so my guess would be that his voice will pretty much remain the same.
I know a good many bloggers and their reasons for blogging are varied. I see no harm in being compensated and I suppose it is up to the reader to decide if it is changing the editorial focus of the blog. In my relationship with AD I pitch ideas to them and they say "yea" or "nay;" from the beginning we agreed that I would not need to modify my content on Mrs. B and am free to post on other publications.
Mitch has worked for national media for years, so his circumstance hasn't changed. I won't lie to you - having the opportunity was beyond my imagination. It certainly doesn't seem like something that calls for an apology.

Mrs. Blandings, I fear you may have missed my point. What drew me to the blogs from the beginning was their freshness and honesty. They are personal in a way not possible for a magazine blog.
I have always read the shelter mags too and have for years. But the magazines have something to sell and are in bed with any number of people who they need to be in bed with in order make it all work. Blogs could be frank, candid and even offensive. It made it exciting and felt like a much needed change.
I'm quite sure you'll disagree, but I've observed a change in your writing/blog since your own professional affiliation. This isn't a criticism but my own perception. Your voice had a much more personal and even emotional tone in the past. Things change, evolve, I know.
But no matter; Mitchell Owens remains an erudite voice in the design world and we are all the better informed because of it. But that voice alone isn't enough for me to become even remotely interested in AD's website or blog.

It is an interesting perspective. Mine has been a complicated year in a number of ways and I wonder if that has more of an influence than would be apparent. I'll read back through to see if I can see what you see .

Unfortunately, I agree with the observations of Anon 6:56. You have gone from design to "face work". It sounds like Oprah without the tissues. You write for a broader audience that those who want to attend opening night at a KC art gallery or museum. If that has now become your focus you have that option of course and we have the option to also not read here.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Tennessee will have a new look for its game Saturday with No. 6 Georgia.
Volunteers coach Butch Jones said Sunday night in an interview on "The Nation," a Knoxville-based radio show, that the team would wear its "Smokey gray" uniforms for the Georgia game. The university confirmed it immediately afterward on its football team's official Twitter account.
When Tennessee unveiled this alternate uniform in its preseason Media Day event, Jones said the Vols would wear it one home game this year without specifying a particular date. The uniform features jerseys and pants in a color it calls Smokey gray, a nod to the team's mascot. Jones noted before the season that Tennessee's 1914 team wore gray jerseys and went undefeated.

© Copyright 2015 Rockdale Citizen
This past Sunday, those of us who worshiped at Epiphany Lutheran sang "Were You There When They Crucified My Lord." As we were singing, I looked out over our congregation, marking with each face something that I knew about their unique suffering.
The poignant words of that hymn, and the compassion I felt for the people whom I've come to love so much moved me to tears.
We are in the midst of the season of Lent, the 40 days in which Christians focus intently on the cross which Jesus bore in order to conquer sin and restore human beings to their original dignity. The cross is a sign of glory -- a reminder that Jesus won victory over death.
Yet, the cross is also a sobering reminder that disciples of Jesus face the instruments of death that are still at work in our world. The mystery of the cross is a hard one to bear.
Why do we suffer? It's important to remember, first of all, that God never causes suffering. If God is completely good and completely powerful, as Christians believe Him to be, then nothing evil can come from God. The child dying of cancer, the elderly person viciously abused, the innocent bystanders gunned down in the crossfire -- these, and others like them, are not acts we should attribute to the God we know through Jesus Christ.
For reasons we cannot -- and should not attempt to -- understand, God allows suffering to happen. We ought not try to fathom why this or that particular event was allowed to happen. Suffice it to say that God hates evil, and grieves every time it unmasks its horrific face.
Yet, God does not remain distant from our cries of pain. Jesus, after all, wept when his friend, Lazarus, died (John 11). That poet of the Old Testament, Isaiah, compares the Lord's love to that of a tender mother who cannot possibly forget the baby at her breast (Isaiah 49:15). The cross reminds us that God knows something about our suffering -- for God the Son, Jesus Christ, bore human suffering Himself.
By walking that road to Calvary -- the place where he died -- with obedience and trust, Jesus makes it possible for us to be hopeful in our struggles, too. Moreover, because Jesus conquered over death, we can count on his strength to help us in our suffering. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and continues to give healing and new life to those in need, upon whom he has compassion.
Because of God's goodness, which we see clearly in Jesus, it becomes possible for our suffering to point to the cross, that instrument by which humanity was redeemed.
One of the signs of God's great power and love is that our difficulties and trials can point to His redemptive work. St. Paul says that he and his co-workers are "always carrying in (our bodies) the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our bodies. For while we live, we are always being given up to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus may be made visible in our mortal flesh. So death is at work in us, but life in you" (2 Corinthians 4:10-12).
In other words, the trials of Christians can become a testimony to the Lord's infinite love and power.
What's more is that the cross, and the resurrection, teach us to see that God's goodness will prevail over the violence and senselessness of our broken world. Out of betrayal, injustice and death come reconciliation, true justice and eternal life.
Somehow, some way, all the loose threads of the storylines that do not make an ounce of sense will be tied up into the great drama that God has been constructing since the beginning of time. At the apex of that drama is Jesus Christ, whose great love for us has shattered the death's rule in the world.
As we suffer, our tears, our anger, our disappointments -- these are real and tangible, and we ought not deny them. The Psalms stand as evidence of God's ability to receive the full brunt of all our human emotions. The cross stands as testimony to that, too.
Yet the one who hung there and died now lives. And, in the midst of our pain, in the midst of our tears, He promises to wipe them all away (Revelation 21:3). In the midst of our decayed world, Jesus says to us: "Behold, I am making all things new."

"I originally started taking photos about 5 or 6 years ago, and these were mostly landscapes on an old film camera. Three years ago one of my friends convinced me to try wildlife photography and I've been hooked ever since. I'd like to think that I had my own 'style', but honestly I think the way I shoot is very much influenced by people like Andy Rouse and Nick Brandt, although I like to think that I occasionally experiment a little!
I am predominantly a wildlife photographer because of how unique each moment is, and how unpredictable your subject can become. I still do landscapes from time to time, and am always up for trying a new style."

Commemorated on July 24th
St Christina the Great Martyr of Tyre
The Martyr Christina lived during the third century. She was born into a rich family, and her father was governor of Tyre. By the age of 11 the girl was exceptionally beautiful, and many wanted to marry her. Christina's father, however, envisioned that his daughter should become a pagan priestess. To this end he placed her in a special dwelling where he had set up many gold and silver idols, and he commanded his daughter to burn incense before them; two servants attended Christina.
In her solitude, Christina began to wonder who had created this beautiful world.
From her room the stars of the heavens delighted her and she constantly came back to the thought about the Creator of the entire world. She was convinced that the voiceless and inanimate idols in her room could not create anything, since human hands created them. She began to pray to the One God with tears, entreating Him to reveal Himself. Her soul blazed with love for the Unknown God, and she intensified her prayer all the more, and combined it with fasting.
One time Christina was visited by an angel, who instructed her in the true faith in Christ, the Saviour of the world. The angel called her a bride of Christ and told her about her future suffering. The holy virgin smashed all the idols standing in her room and threw them out the window. In visiting his daughter Christina's father, Urban, asked her where all the idols had disappeared. Christina was silent. Then, having summoned the servants, Urban learned the truth from them.
In a rage the father began to slap his daughter's face. At first, the holy virgin remained quiet, but then she told her father about her faith in the One True God, and that she had destroyed the idols with her own hands. Urban gave orders to kill all the servants in attendance upon his daughter, and he gave Christina a fierce beating and threw her in prison. Having learned about what had happened; St. Christina's mother came in tears, imploring her to renounce Christ and to return to her ancestral beliefs. However, Christina remained unyielding. On another day, Urban brought his daughter to trial and urged her to offer worship to the gods, and to ask forgiveness for her misdeeds. Instead, he saw her firm and steadfast confession of faith in Christ.
The torturers tied her to an iron wheel, beneath which they lit a fire. The body of the martyr, turning round on the wheel, was scorched on all sides. They then threw her into prison.
An angel of God appeared at night, healing her wounds and strengthening her with food. Her father, seeing her unharmed, gave orders to drown her in the sea. An angel sustained the saint while the stone sank down, and Christina miraculously came out of the water and reappeared before her father. In terror, the torturer imputed this to sorcery and he decided to execute her in the morning. That night he himself suddenly died. Another governor, Dion, was sent in his place. He summoned the holy martyr and tried to persuade her to renounce Christ, but seeing her unyielding firmness, he again subjected her to cruel tortures. The holy martyr was for a long while in prison. People began to flock to her, and she converted them to the true faith in Christ. Thus about 300 were converted.
In place of Dion, a new governor Julian arrived and resumed the torture of the Saint. After various torments, Julian gave orders to throw her into a red-hot furnace and lock her in it. After five days, they opened the furnace and found the martyr alive and unharmed. Seeing this miracle take place, many believed in Christ the Saviour, and the torturers executed St Christina with a sword.
Dismissal Hymn (Fourth Tone)
O Lord Jesus, to You Your lamb cries with a great voice: O my Bridegroom, You I love; and seeking You, I now contest, and with Your baptism am crucified and buried. I suffer for Your sake, that I may reign with You; for You sake I die, that I may live in You: accept me offered out of longing to You as a spotless sacrifice. Lord, save our souls through her intercessions, since You are great in mercy.
Kontakion (Fourth Tone)
O dove of golden wings, you shine like lightning, and flew up to the height of the Heavens, august Christina; therefore, we all celebrate your glorious festival, as we faithfully reverence the worshipful shrine wherein your pure relics are treasured, where you bring forth to all divine cures both for the body and for the soul.


text: Our latest music video for Lazy Habits was completed recently and we are pleased to report that it has been FEATURED on Radar Music Videos . We set up, shot, cleaned and packed away in a 6 hour window. Some said it was impossible but we managed with time to spare! We used the 7D and the Canon L series 24 – 70mm lens, a large group of enthusiastic friends plus a key west dolly in the making of this video. We shot everything at 50fps and ran the song at double speed, meaning Robin and James had their work cut out to rap in time but it lends the video a dreamlike quality. Let us know what you think.

Dear Editor:
During the 2012 election, my campaign relied solely upon a published resume of my history and responses to questions posed by The Morning Sun and Joplin Globe. I mailed no campaign rhetoric, took no one's money, and never once bashed "religion" or my Republican opponent, who obviously sent out a politically negative ad declaring: "Garman Bashes Religion" and "His book The Religion Commandments blatantly attacks God and religion."
The local news, if I am correct, never mentioned LaTurner's politically negative injection of "religion" into the recent campaign: regardless, his above assertions are false. Anyone who knows me or read my numerous letters promoting the constitutional principle of "separation between Religion and Government," James Madison, knows I was a religion major at a Baptist university, Baylor; am a Baptist seminary graduate, M.Div.; was one of the founders of The Interfaith Alliance of Southeast Kansas, composed of Christians, Jews, Muslims, Unitarians, etc., and attend a local church.
Simply, I agree with the Founding Fathers who commanded, "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office," Art. 6., Sec. 3., and with the First Congress which commanded, "make no law respecting an establishment of religion," First Amendment.
Finally, "I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute. ... where every man ... will ... promote instead the American ideal of brotherhood. ... That is the kind of America in which I believe," President John F. Kennedy, September 12, 1960.
Politely, Mr. LaTurner is wrong.
Gene Garman

In many ways, William Heinecke never left his peripatetic childhood behind.
Born 1949 in the U.S. but raised in Asia — his father was with the U.S. foreign service; his mother was a journalist — Mr. Heinecke spent years in Japan, Hong Kong and Malaysia before settling in the Bangkok, where he dabbled in motor racing, journalism and a smattering of entrepreneurial schemes. In 1967, he established a food and lifestyle brand company called Minor Holdings. Today that company, the Minor Corporation, has a portfolio of 1,100 food outlets and 31 hotels in Asia, Middle East and Africa, including the company's own Anantara brand.
Although comfortably settled in Thailand for 47 years — Mr. Heinecke became a Thai citizen in 1991 — the 61-year-old has a keen nose for "special destinations that get the heart pumping," he said. "Travel's got to have a bit of excitement, otherwise it's just another day."

An all new exhibition designed and produced by the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, Paris, at the Australian National Maritime Museum this autumn will immerse visitors in the world of whales and highlight the importance of conservation to their future survival. Amazing Whales – Evolution and survival opens tomorrow and heralds the start of the museum's Whale Season.
Photographic Exhibition - Come eye-to-eye with whales in life-size
From graceful giants of the sea to playful dolphins, dangerous predators such as orcas to the mysterious narwhal and beluga whales, cetaceans, of all the mammals, have undergone a most remarkable journey to become the diverse range of aquatic creatures they are today and their survival is still under threat.
Amazing Whales - Evolution and survival examines the relationship between humans and whales – from the mythology of whales and the bonds between them both to the consequences of whaling.
And while commercial whaling is now largely a thing of the past, the exhibition shines a light on the ongoing debate on the hunting of whales. It also examines the other human activities that continue to seriously threaten them including pollution, industrialization, commercial fishing, global warming and even noise pollution and what we can do to help.
An interactive touch table reveals the extent of the whaling industry in Australia and how the towns that once prospered from it now focus on whale watching tourism. Visitors will also discover some of the more peculiar myths associated with whales including the belief that climbing inside the body of a beached whale would cure arthritis.
Amazing Whales – Evolution and survival is presented in conjunction with the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle in Paris and runs from 22 March until 20 July. Tickets are part of the museum's Big Ticket - $27 adults, $16 child/concession, $70 family. For further information visit anmm.gov.au/amazingwhales.
The exhibition heralds the start of the museum's Whale Season throughout autumn and winter. Amazing Whales will be complemented by Beautiful whale – life-size photography by Bryant Austin - a remarkable photographic exhibition where visitors come face-to-face with giant underwater images of whales at sea. This exhibition opens on 11 April. The museum proudly supports the Australian Marine Conservation Society throughout its Whales Season.
The Australian National Maritime Museum, in Darling Harbour, is open from 9.30am to 5pm daily. All enquiries (02) 9298 3777 or visit www.anmm.gov.au.

Rapid Response
February 1, 2011
By Contributor
The ambitious Central Issaquah Plan has recommended tall buildings and dense development in the business district. How do the recommendations jibe with Issaquah's existing character?
It doesn't. Five percent to 10 percent pervious should never be allowed and 150-foot buildings were never in the vision that the community recommended.
Connie Marsh, Issaquah
The city recently received $100,000 to study another transfer of development rights, with the receiving site in the business district. Should the area along Interstate 90 be redeveloped into a dense neighborhood?
It does not make sense to make a dense neighborhood area and at the same time talk about opening up an area for a park complex.
Ken Sessler, Issaquah
The push for high density is a Eurocentric concept of tall buildings, narrow roads and mass transit. In many cases Issaquah has already been spoiled by the "village" concept.
Mark Bowers, Issaquah
Yes, that's where the infrastructure is to support growth and higher density will spur improved mass transit. Focus growth internally instead of sprawling out across more forestlands.
Ken Konigsmark, Issaquah
Density will be a problem in the future. High rises address the problem of land usage but not car, truck, bus and people density. High rises will create a great demand of all the above.
Jim Harris, Issaquah
We should all be prepared to pay higher taxes to put the infrastructure needed to support this growth starting now — I for one am excited to pay higher taxes for higher buildings.
Bryan Weinstein, Issaquah
"Issaquah's existing character?" It does not "jibe" with either our low density, strip mall, sprawling suburbia current reality or our small idyllic town in the trees fantasies. It simply replaces them with a new "dense" fantasy.
C.A. Christensen, Issaquah
I believe I would be happy with a maximum of three stories, possibly even a couple of four story ones. I have driven on Front Street and checked the buildings.
Michael Powell, Issaquah
Central Issaquah needs dense, people-friendly places and spaces. I don't see how tall buildings foster movement and community. They don't fit.
Barbara Shelton, Issaquah
In most cities, they usually leave the old historic town intact and create a modern area where new and tall buildings can exist. If this is the direction they are headed, then they are on the right track.
Becky Wilder, Issaquah
Preserves and expands the walkable urban village, while incorporating modern amenities, such as personal rapid transit vehicles, new office space, retail, and parks.
Gail Givan, Issaquah
King County voters overwhelmingly rejected a sales tax to pay for criminal justice services, including police protection. What can the county do to better prioritize and pay for such services in the future?
The negative effects of layoffs in these areas, the lack of or delay in response by law enforcement agencies and the negative impact on quality of life might encourage a more favorable response the next time some form of taxation is proposed. Meanwhile, management needs to review every process to find more efficient ways to accomplish more with less. That's the challenge that every level of government must face today.
Ray Extract, Issaquah
One Response to "Rapid Response"

High density has a place in Issaquah if we want to keep our open space and rely more on regional and alternative transportation for the projected 10,000 newcomers to Issaquah by 2020, and the additional 10,000 newcomers by 2030, and the additional 10,000 newcomers by 2040. We have the enviable position of being in a growing region that will flourish for decades to come. Offering a variety of lifestyles is the foundation of success. A high rise lifestyle is yet to be offered here, it will become an alternative to the variety of lifestyles Issaquah will support. The plan limits it's use with view corridors, and access to transit to insure it is placed wisely. Sprawl is not an acceptable alternative and we must provide homes for those to come.

You know that saying "You snooze, you lose"? Well, nothing is further from the truth when it comes to anti-aging skin care. In fact, nighttime is the right time to repair aging skin. "During the day, skin is in protection mode—it's busy fending off environmental aggressors like sun, wind, and pollution," says Jeannette Graf, MD, a dermatologist in Great Neck, NY. At night, your skin does the bulk of its repair work, such as creating new cells and mending or shedding old, damaged ones, says Dr. Graf.Our guide to choosing the right night cream goes beyond restoring lost moisture; these PM perfecters also contain potent anti-agers that rejuvenate skin. Just pinpoint your main complexion concern and preferred texture—balm, cream, lotion, gel, or serum—and prepare to get the skin of your dreams.

Very fun look into the deep. If your not a diver this is an area that you will not be able to get this close to. Beautiful views of two different ship wrecks and a multitude of coral reefs. My kids were enthralled through the whole trip,.

When a retailer discounts its products, the intended result is an increase in sales, thereby making the promotion a productive investment.
But exactly how did the state or local community benefit from having Apple build their data center there? If Apple only created a few new jobs and if there were no other strings attached - for example helping to train/educate locals for high tech jobs - then what exactly did the community get in return for the $46 million tax breaks and loss of revenue from the 50% reduction in property taxes and 85% reduction in personal taxes that will only place increased strains on already struggling services such as education ?
The land sale.
The yearly taxes on said land.
The cost of electricity.
The construction jobs created for the previous and current/future data center.
All the costs associated with the people now living in that town to maintain the data center operations.
Exactly where is the town not gaining from Apple's presence and how exactly is it not like a retailer reducing the cost of an item to encourage a customer into their area. Hint: It's the exact same economic principle that prevents a competitor from getting the business.

The Kentucky House of Representatives has passed legislation that would give coal miners more protection in their underground workplaces.
Representative Brent Yonts said the measure offers hope to Kentucky coal miners by increasing the presence of state inspectors at each operation. The number of inspections will increase from three to six-per-year.
The bill also provides for methane detectors that will allow miners to monitor for buildups of explosive gas.
The measure passed unanimously yesterday, Tuesday, March 6, 2007, but State Senator Robert Stivers said there may not be time to get the legislation through the Senate.

Adam Brockus Dist 3 Meeting Discusses Manette Bridge and Traffic
MANETTE - I attended Adam Brockus's district three meeting at the Senior Center last night. The topic I was interested in was traffic flow through Manette during bridge construction and a permanent plan after the bridge is completed.
I have been concerned that shutting down Shore dr at the East end of the bridge would encourage people to turn left, head up Winfield and cross Manette at E14th, 16th or 18th. Adam brought Larry Matel a traffic engineer with the Public Works dept. Jeff Cook the State Project Engineer for the bridge construction was supposed to come, but he could not make it. I forgot to write down the name of the gentleman who did show up for the state. There were several neighbors, business owners and even one gentleman who used to live in Manette and still has interest in the project.
We were told how the project was progressing and some concerns were discussed over bridge closures and noise. Mostly folks thought the project was proceeding nicely and the business owners said the construction folks had been as accommodating as possible, but they had seen a drop in business this summer. I pointed out that everyone has seen a drop in business this summer.
So we talked about traffic and everyone seemed to agree that we should try to encourage people passing through Manette to use E 11th when they intend to access Perry or Trenton. My point was that with two stop signs and narrow roads along Harkin and Pitt many folks are traveling up Winfield and through residential neighborhoods. I have suggested removing the two stop signs. Kate pointed out that the lanes are very narrow on Pitt and people often cross the center line. She said that repainting the center line and moving it more toward the center would help. Although parking is precious, removing three parking spaces along Pitt would allow for widening of the lanes.
If E 11th from Pitt down to the Boatshed were made one way eastbound, then one side of the road could be used for diagonal parking adding several new parking spaces to replace the three lost on Pitt. Traffic headed to the Boatshed could travel down Pitt and around the block at E10th. This would point them to the Boatsheds lower parking lot which is often under used. Then when leaving the Boatshed, folks would travel up the new one way E11th.
Kate pointed out that trucks and buses travelling in the neighborhood had a hard time making the corner at E 11th and Pitt. She commented that widening the lanes on Pitt would help, but she felt like there needed to be a designated "Truck Route" through Manette.
So the City and State said that they could plan all day long, but that the folks who actually drive the area probably have a better idea what needs to be done. Larry Matel asked why we would not want the stop signs to stay in place? He pointed out that it would be safer if cars went slower through town. I pointed out that if cars bypass Manette and speed through residential neighborhoods then we have defeated the purpose, taken potential customers away from the business district and made it unsafe on those residential streets. Larry said he would get some traffic counters out to see if there is a significant change in traffic patterns.
There will be a follow up meeting at the Senior center on Oct. 26th at 6:30 PM.

Morocco's parliament on Wednesday passed the 2012 budget that targets a deficit below 5 percent and subjects corporates and alcohol to higher taxes as the government seeks to reduce wide social inequalities and tame protests over unemployment.
The budget won 166 votes out of 230 present at the session in the 395-member parliament, the official MAP news agency said.
The budget provided for a total expenditure of 346.8 billion dirhams ($40.86 billion) and receipts at 314.5 billion dirhams. It targets a budget deficit of less than 5 percent after it hit 6.1 percent in 2011, its highest since the 1990s.
The impact of bad weather on farming prompted the government to revise down to between 3 and 4 percent the tourism- and agriculture-reliant economy's growth projection for 2012 from an initial 4.2 percent and the 4.9 percent it achieved in 2011.
The central bank says that with the impact of the slowdown in the euro zone, Morocco's main trade partner, the $100-billion economy will grow only by between 2 and 3 percent.
Inflation is projected to jump to as much as 2.5 percent from 0.9 percent in 2011 as the government is expected to provide fewer subsidies – especially for energy products – should global prices surge.
The budget was based on an oil price of $100 a barrel which is below current market price.
Public investment was fixed at about 60 billion dirhams, which is 25 percent above its level in 2011, but accounts for 17 percent of expenditure, while military expenditure inched up to 52.6 billion dirhams.
The state will foot 93.5 billion dirhams in public wages in 2012, which is 5.5 percent above 2011 when it raised public sector wages as it sought to contain any spillover from Arab Spring revolts.
The government agreed to amendments from parliament to widen the imposition of a new tax on firms to help it develop poor areas and to raise tax on beer and spirits in 2012 by 12.5 and 43 percent respectively, the first increase since 2010.
The budget also raises by almost 40 percent to 26,200 the number of jobs the public sector, mostly in home affairs and education departments, is projected to create in 2012.
"I don't think the budget is efficiency-driven: Too many tax loopholes, too much on compensation (subsidies) fund, too many hiring," tweeted Zouhair Baghough, who blogs as the Moorish Wanderer on Moroccan economic issues.
Police on Wednesday violently broke up a protest by hundreds of jobless graduates who gathered outside the building of parliament in Rabat while legislators were discussing the budget.
They carried a super-sized copy of the agreement they signed with authorities in 2011 promising them immediate recruitment without passing tests.

The past month has been a bit quilty in the online craft scene
- With the first of what looks to be a biannual event — QuiltCon was apparently a resounding success even taking teething issues into account. My good friend Julie (this is her quilt), attended and participated in workshops and volunteered her time, as well as helping to hang the quilts — she met an amazing bunch of women. Hopefully next time i'll be able to attend too! This pic above is the quilt con quilt! QuiltCon reviews are around with pics of the winning quilts :: Sew Katie Did :: Freshly Pieced :: Swim Bike Quilt :: Pile O Fabric :: TrueUp
- March is national quilting month — and there are many official and not so official events happening all over to help celebrate. What will you be doing — do you have some quilts on the go?
- And you may have heard that my new book :: Brave New Quilts: 12 Projects Inspired by 20th-Century Art From Art Nouveau to Punk & Pop
- :: is now available for pre-order — it's not due out for a few months yet — but i'll be chatting more about it as we go along this year.
During March on Whipup I begin a monthly Guest Editor series, where I have invited a bunch of lovely people to curate a short series of posts each month.
- We kicked off with Abby and Stacey for the month of March with a series of posts focussing on their art/craft practice and how they re-use and recycle. Abby's first post discusses her place in the art/craft world, and Stacey's first post offers a tutorial to create a magic ball of yarn.
- Next month my guest editor has sadly had to bow out at the last minute due to a personal crisis and therefore i'll be filling in with a series of my own — still thinking of themes — any ideas?
Also recently we launched the latest edition of Action Pack magazine for kids. This edition is themed on Water — the first in a four part series focussing on the elements. A great issue with a bunch of fantastic contributors which was put together while on the road — libraries and tents and beach side writing — lots of ingenuity involved. If you are interested in contributing for further issues check in here. In the meantime do grab yourself a copy of this issue — only $6 for 40 ad-free pages of projects.
Book reviews this year are being managed this year by Julie and reviewed by a great team of crafty gals. Check out Feathered friends.

Human demands upon the planet are now of a volume and kind that, unless changed substantially, threaten the future well-being of all living species. Universities are entrusted with a major responsibility to help societies shape their present and future development policies and actions into the sustainable and equitable forms necessary for an environmentally secure and civilized world.
As the international community marshals its endeavors for a sustainable future, focused upon the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Brazil in 1992, universities in all countries are increasingly examining their own roles and responsibilities. At Talloires, France in October, 1990, a conference of university presidents from every continent, held under the auspices of Tufts University of the United States, issued a declaration of environmental commitment that has attracted the support of more than 100 universities from dozens of countries. At Halifax, Canada, in December l991, the specific challenge of environmentally sustainable development was addressed by the presidents of universities from Brazil, Canada, Indonesia, Zimbabwe and elsewhere, as well as by the senior representatives of the International Association of Universities, the United Nations University and the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada.
The Halifax meeting added its voice to those many others worldwide that are deeply concerned about the continuing widespread degradation of the Earth's environment, about the pervasive influence of poverty on the process, and about the unsustainable environmental practices now so widespread. The meeting expressed the belief that solutions to these problems can only be effective to the extent that the mutual vulnerability of all societies, in the South and in the North, is recognized, and the energies and skills of people everywhere be employed in a positive, cooperative fashion. Because the educational, research and public service roles of universities enable them to be competent, effective contributors to the major attitudinal and policy changes necessary for a sustainable future, the Halifax meeting invited the dedication of all universities to the following actions:

In the Global Ocean Race, Conrad Coleman and Adrian Kuttel sailed across the Punta del Este finish line on Wednesday earning them the first place spot in Leg 3 with Cessna Citation. There was drama to the south off the Falkland Islands for Nick Legatt and Phillippa Hutton-Squire on Phesheya Racing and some unusually civilised behavior from Marco Nannini and Hugh Ramon off the coast of Argentina with Financial Crisis.
While personnel from the GOR Race Organisation were preparing to board RIBs at the Yacht Club Punta del Este and head into the South Atlantic for a rendezvous with Cessna Citation, it was noted that the South African Class40, Phesheya-Racing was near-stationary and very close to the Jason Island archipelago just north-west of the Falkland Islands mid-evening GMT on Wednesday. Calls were immediately made to family members in Cape Town and to the Class40 to confirm that yacht's status.
On Thursday morning, Phillippa Hutton-Squire described the scene: 'We had sailed straight into a huge raft of kelp!' she confirmed by email. 'The kelp was trailing out the back of the boat like the boat had grown a long pony tail.'
The South Africans hove-to and began to clear the thick, slippery blades and stipes from the rudders and keel as Phesheya-Racing began to drift downwind towards the rocky shoreline of Jason West Cay: 'I pulled the kelp up to Nick with the boat hook and then Nick pulled the kelp to the bow to free it from the keel,' continues Hutton-Squire. 'Eventually, we couldn't reach any more, so we changed tacks and by this time we were very close to Jason West Cay.'
With Phesheya-Racing changing tack, the density of the kelp raft increased. 'The pieces of kelp were so big on this tack that we got the halyard around them to try and pull them off,' explains Hutton-Squire. We were very successful with two big chunks, but after three hours of this we were still entangled in kelp.' As Phesheya-Racing drifted closer to the rocks, an alternative method of kelp removal was needed fast. Leggatt quickly climbed into a full wetsuit with dive bottle and with and MOB retrieval line trailing behind the boat, he leapt into the freezing water.
Armed with a knife, Leggatt disappeared under the boat: 'Moments later he popped up surrounded by kelp and shouted 'the keel is free!' says Hutton-Squire. 'Then he had to free the prop and do a quick check under the boat and he did exactly that and four minutes later Nick was back on board safely,' she confirms.
By midnight GMT, Phesheya-Racing was moving again and at 15:00 GMT on Thursday, Leggatt and Hutton-Squire were 100 miles north of the Falklands averaging just under five knots in light headwinds and trailing Financial Crisis by 485 miles.
Nick Leggatt gets ready for battle with kelp off the Falkand Islands - Global Ocean Race 2011-12
Throughout Wednesday night and Thursday morning, the new race leaders, Marco Nannini and Hugo Ramon, sailed parallel to the coast of Patagonia 120 miles off the Valdés Peninsular in variable tail winds as the environment began to improve on board Financial Crisis.
'The permanent cloud cover of the past few days has broken up during the night and I stood my watch in the cockpit as a magnificent sunrise brought summer to our world,' said Nannini as Financial Crisis approached 40S.
'Since we left the icy weather of the high latitudes it has been remarkable to watch the temperature rise very fast as we sail north,' he notes. 'Water temperature is now at nearly 20 degrees and today I'm sure we can get rid of all our base and mid-layers and finally sport some shorts and t-shirts.'
Handicapped by the loss of their A2 spinnaker, the final 400 miles to the finish line in Punta del Este are not looking simple: 'Apart from this magnificent day, we can't say we've been particularly lucky with the winds,' says Nannini. 'First we had lots of headwinds and now that the wind has come round, we're in light-ish airs without our masthead spinnaker and trying to do the best we can and creep forward a mile at a time toward this holy image of a proper, rare South American steak and the holiest of holy grails, a pint of beer.'
At 15:00 GMT, Financial Crisis was averaging seven knots in light, following breeze, but north-westerly headwinds blowing from the Argentine Pampas are forecast in the next 24 hours and Nannini predicts a Sunday arrival in Punta del Este: 'The anticipation is high and I really, really want to get there, but whilst we are sailing I may as well enjoy the nice weather,' says Nannini. 'It's time for a shower on deck, some clean pants, a shave and all the things that can make me feel human again after all that time in the south.'

November 29, 2015
NEW YORK (AP) -- An American aid worker kidnapped by Somali pirates in 2011 and rescued by Navy Seal Team Six has a book deal.
Atria Books announced Monday that it has an agreement with Jessica Buchanan for a memoir to come out next spring. The book will be co-written by novelist and screenwriter Anthony Flacco.
The book doesn't yet have a title. Atria is an imprint of Simon & Schuster.
Buchanan and a Danish colleague were abducted by pirates on October, 25, 2011. They were held for three months in harsh conditions before the Navy team freed them. Buchanan had received little to eat, and fears for her health were a factor in President Barack Obama's decision to approve the rescue attempt.

The Forward to All Bolt On is a great solution for getting your calls answered more quickly or if you want a fairer way of distributing your calls so it's not always the same person answering the phone.
It's not just a case of having 10 destinations to forward to, it's having them ring at the same time. Hopefully this will cut down on the time your customer has to wait for their call to be answered.
Using myTTNC, our advanced online control panel, to set up Forward to All is really easy, especially if you're familiar with setting up Call Forwarding.
On the Call Forwarding page, simply click the '+' button next to the destination field. This will allow you to add another destination to the queue. Just keep doing this until you have all the required destinations added (up to 10).
It doesn't matter what order you enter the destinations, as they'll all ring at the same time. Then you just need to select the option 'Ring all numbers at once'.
Want to see just how easy it is to set up Forward to All? Have a read through our step-by-step guide
If your team are always working in the same department but maybe not always at the same desk, with this service, regardless of where your team sit, they'll always be by a phone ready to answer.
You've got a team poised and ready to respond to the next sales opportunity, or disaster your customer comes to you with; Forward to All can give your team an incentive to answer the phone as quickly as they can - they get the call, they get the job.
We allow you to have up to 10 destinations.
By default it's 20 seconds, but you can adjust this to whatever you need.
You'll want to check out our Hunt Group Pro service - this allows you to set up a sequence of up to 10 destinations that ring in order, rather than all at once.
Any of the Bolt Ons can be added to a number individually from the website when you go to the checkout.
Alternatively, we've put some of the Call Management services together into Packages. You can apply the services from your Package to any number in your account. So, if you're looking for more and want to see what else you could get, have a look at what we've put together for you.

For the past few months, I have been receiving calls, Facebook messages, and emails asking me to reconsider jumping in the race for mayor this year. Last December, I sent out a press release stating I would not be a candidate for mayor.
I want to thank everyone who has the confidence in me. I do enjoy being stopped at the grocery store (and even at my own job) by people asking me to run again and trying to encourage me.

My doctor was trying to figure out why I have been so nauseous on Hcg (150iu, SQ) and why I have only lost maybe 2-3 pounds (am on VLCD 7 today). He thinks that, even though the medical literature doesn't show an interaction between the two, it is possible that Wellbutrin somehow blocks or minimizes the efficacy of the Hcg and is the reason I am not losing properly, despite rigid compliance with the Simeons protocol.
Has anyone else had troubles with the interaction between anti-depressent medications and Hcg? He wants me to stop the diet, but I don't want to stop. Having said that, there is probably no point in continuing if it is all going to be futile.

Such and such a time, such and such a day, then trouble with the valve.
People with valve problems develop heart murmurs and may eventually need valve replacement.
When he finally opened the valve, he says, the team was able to cool the core for the first time since the crisis began.
When the piston reached the bottom of the cylinder the valve d was opened and the piston again ascended.
The valve was shut by order of the aeronaut, and we descended rapidly.
The construction of a common slide valve is shown in Fig. 3297, in which the valve is shown in its mid-position.
This was caused by the escaping gas going through the valve.
Internally, the spur is produced upwards on the valve, as a prominence: the articular ridge is not very prominent.
He gave the valve a turn and the Allison smoothed considerably.
These depending crests for the muscles are rather thin, but they extend over half the basal margin of the valve.
late 14c., "one of the halves of a folding door," from Latin valva "section of a folding or revolving door," literally "that which turns," related to volvere "to roll" (see volvox). Sense extended 1610s to "membranous fold regulating flow of bodily fluids;" 1650s to "mechanical device that works like a valve;" and 1660s in zoology to "halves of a hinged shell."
valve (vālv)
A membranous structure in a hollow organ or passage, as in an artery or a vein, that folds or closes to prevent the return flow of the body fluid passing through it.
Any of various devices that regulate the flow of gases, liquids, or loose materials through piping or through apertures by opening, closing, or obstructing ports or passageways.
The movable control element of such a device.
UK term for a vacuum tube.
