Have a look at Dodo Juice purple haze. You can pick up a 30ml panel pot for round about 6 quid and it will do 5+ costs as long as you don't over apply it

I'm going to throw this question out there for comment and hope for some solid responses. I'm back in Europe again and this time Central Europe. I think we all know that it's going into the high season for toursits, but it's also high season for the pick pockets that prey on tourists. I raise this question for a couple of reasons? My partner takes Thai tourists to many places around the world, but most recently both Western and Eastern Europe. On the two last tours one to Switzerland and currently Germany and the Czech Republic and his groups have been victims of pick pockets. One guy lost 3,000 Euro's and his passport, 2 others passports, and 3 more lost a combined 5,000 Euro's. First question is why are they carrying that kind of money and why are they carrying their passport. This is not the first time this has happened.
I was in Lisbon in March on the infamous #15 tourist tram and I smelled a rat. 3 guys crowded around me and pushed me trying to get me to take my hands out of my pockets. I try to know better and not remove my hands, one guy got my knee in his nether regions and the other got his head elbowed for which I smiled and told them to ************** or they would be on the way out the open tram door! I'm a big guy and take no crap, but if I were a woman or unattentive guy, they would have had a field day unless it were a savey traveler who is aware
How do you protect yourself from pick-pockets? Do you carry your passport with you at all times? Do you use a money belt? Have you been a victim of pick pockets? Are you a proactive traveler who is on the defensive or passive and a potential victim?

Vorbeck was selected from hundreds of top technology companies to participate in the Summit, which will highlight America's most promising prospects for cutting-edge developments in energy innovation.
As one of ARPA-E's participating organizations, Vorbeck will exhibit the potential of its patented Vor-x™ graphene material to revolutionize the Li-ion battery industry. Working with Pacific Northwest National Labs (PNNL) and Princeton University, Vorbeck has demonstrated the potential of high-quality graphene to dramatically improve the power and cycling stability of Li-ion batteries, enabling next generation batteries for electric cars, power tools, and other applications.
Teams from 14 Corporate Acceleration Partners committed to technology commercialization will also be present at the Summit including Dow, Bosch, Applied Materials and Lockheed Martin. Vorbeck was the first company to commercialize a product based on graphene. Vorbeck recently closed a successful financing round to allow the company to rapidly bring additional graphene products to market. In 2010, Vorbeck signed an agreement with materials distribution and supply company, Targray Technology International, to market Vorbeck's novel battery electrode materials. Vorbeck Materials is the first and only company to receive EPA approval for the commercial production and sale of graphene-based products.
The second annual ARPA-E Energy Innovation Summit will take place February 28 - March 2, 2011 at the Gaylord Convention Center just outside Washington, D.C.

$3.1 million settlement reached for man falsely imprisoned for rape
Mayor Annise Parker apologizes to George Rodriguez
Published On: Nov 02 2012 05:50:05 PM CDT
A Houston man who successfully sued the city after he spent 17 years in prison for kidnapping and rape he didn't commit will is getting a $3.1 million settlement.
George Rodriguez was freed from prison in 2004 after an appeals court ruled he was convicted on faulty scientific evidence.
In a news conference on Friday, Houston city leaders, including Mayor Annise Parker offered an apology to Rodriguez.
"Mr. Rodriguez, on behalf of the city of Houston, I want to apologize to you for all that you had to endure," said Parker.
Attorneys for Rodriguez proved there were several problems at HPD's long-troubled crime lab.
Rodriguez said he accepts the mayor's apology and just wants to get on with his life.

Ken From IA

Beeper is way too loud for one of my dogs. It spooks her and cannot be used. Also, the weight of the beeper causes the collar to rotate and lose contact with the dog's throat. Overall, I am disappointed with the product and its performance.

Using the Upland Beeper
Beeper Placement on the Collar Strap
Adjust the position of the Beeper on the collar strap for the size of your dog, taking into account where you want the buckle to be located. The proper placement of the Beeper is on top of the dog's neck.
Power / Mode Select Button
The black Power / Mode Select button, located on the top of the Beeper base, serves both as an on/off switch and allows you to select the settings of the Beeper.
Switching the Beeper ON and OFF
To switch the Beeper on press the black Power/Mode Select button. The RED LED indicator light will quickly turn on and then go out. Release the button when the light goes out. A LOW-high tone confirms that the Beeper has been turned on.
When the Beeper is switched on it will operate under the last mode selected.
The indicator light will then continue to blink which confirms the Beeper is on.
The factory default setting is a single beep for HUNT mode and the hawk scream for POINT mode.
To switch the Beeper off press the button and hold it down until the RED LED light goes off then let go immediately.
A HIGH-low tone confirms that it has been turned off.
To conserve battery life switch the Beeper off when not in use.
Available Modes (Sound Combinations)
The Upland G3 Beeper can operate under a variety of sound combinations or "Modes." These include various series of beeps when the dog is hunting and a hawk scream or a beep when on point.
HUNT Mode -- The Beeper sounds every 4 seconds while the dog is moving.
POINT Mode -- The Beeper sounds once every second while the dog is on point. The hawk scream sounds every five seconds.
HUNT Mode and POINT Mode can be used in eight (8) pre-set combinations that you select and set as described below.
To check the current Beeper setting:
First switch the Beeper on.
Gently shake the Beeper (to simulate a running dog) and listen for the HUNT setting.
Next, hold the Beeper still and listen for the POINT setting.
NOTE: Your new Beeper is LOUD!! Holding your thumb over the speaker horn will lessen the sound.
Changing Modes
Both Modes (HUNT and POINT) are selected by using the Power/Mode Select button. Press this button, and your sound selection will be indicated by the blinking of each LED light. The RED LED light indicates the "HUNT" setting and the GREEN LED light indicates the "POINT" setting.
To change sounds you will need to cycle through the various options by pressing the button and observing the series of blinks from the RED and GREEN LED lights:
1. Make sure that the Beeper power has been switched on.
2. Press & hold the Power/Mode Select button until both LED lights blink three (3) times together and then release the button.
3. The LED lights indicate the current setting.
4. You can now select the sound you prefer.
5. To choose a mode, briefly press the button and the Mode will change as indicated by the LED lights. Each time you press and release the button, the lights will indicate a new setting. You may have to cycle through several settings to reach your preference. Be patient, check the blinking of the LED lights after each button press, and continue to briefly press the button. See the Mode Setting Cycle chart below.
Mode Setting Cycle:
As you cycle through the settings, 1-8, the order will occur as follows:
Setting #
POINT Mode (Green LED)
HUNT Mode (Red LED)
Solid (Hawk Scream)
1 blink (1 Beep)
Solid (Hawk Scream)
2 blinks (2 Beeps)
Solid (Hawk Scream)
3 blinks (3 Beeps)
Solid (Hawk Scream)
No light (No Beep)
Blinking (1 Beep)
1 blink (1 Beep)
Blinking (1 Beep)
2 blinks (2 Beeps)
Blinking (1 Beep)
3 blinks (3 Beeps)
Blinking (1 Beep)
No light (No Beep)
To SAVE your selection
, press & hold the Power/Mode Select button until both LED lights flash three (3) times together then release the button. The Beeper will now operate in the Modes you have selected.
Reset to Default Mode Setting (Setting #1)
If you should perhaps need to get the Beeper back to a known base setting it is easy, no matter what mode the Beeper is in or if it is switched on or off. Just press and hold the Power/Mode Select button for at least 15 seconds. There will be high-low, high-low beeps, the LED lights will flash, and the Beeper will switch off. When you switch the Beeper back on it is now back to mode setting #1, the Hawk Scream for Point and one beep for Hunt.
HUNT Mode -- Red LED Light
You may select one of four settings as your HUNT Mode: Single Beep, Double Beep, Triple Beep, or No Beep. While hunting with several dogs at once, the various HUNT modes will come in handy for you to distinguish each dog.
Number of times the Red LED light blinks during selection:
Single Beep - 1 blink of Red LED
Double Beep - 2 blinks of Red LED
Triple Beep - 3 blinks of Red LED
No sound - No light
POINT Mode -- Green LED Light
Select one of two settings as your POINT Mode: Hawk Scream or Single Beep.
Number of times the Green LED light blinks during selection:
Hawk Scream - Green LED on solid, no blinking
Single beep - 1 blink of Green LED
Remote Operation of the Beeper
Quickly press and release the Beeper control button on the Transmitter. 1 or 2 beeps confirm "on" and "mute."
Remote Locate Feature
To locate your dog when hunting with the Beeper press and hold the Transmitter button that operates the Beeper. The Beeper will produce a series of beeps, as long as the button is pressed, for up to 8 seconds.
Replacing the Battery
The Beeper is shipped with one CR123A battery installed. With normal use, your battery will last for several months. To change the battery, unscrew the Phillips-head screw on the top cover of the Beeper. Remove the top cover to expose the battery compartment. Remove the old battery and install a new one with the positive terminal end pointing up. Never force a battery into this compartment. Pay careful attention so that the gasket at the top of the battery compartment is in place. Replace the top cover and tighten the screw. Use only replaceable lithium CR123A batteries. Check for function by switching the Beeper on. If there is no function check to make sure the battery is installed correctly.
Introducing an Inexperienced Dog to the Beeper
Garmin designed your Beeper to be LOUD!!! This may startle an inexperienced dog. To help your dog adapt to hunting with a Beeper collar, you can muffle the sound by placing a piece of duct tape over the speaker horn. Hanging a Beeper near your dog's kennel, and letting the dog listen to it beeping for several hours is also an effective technique to help your dog get used to the noise of the Beeper.
Care and Maintenance
Remove the Beeper from the collar strap for thorough cleaning. You can wipe the Beeper with a damp cloth and mild detergent if desired.
Do not use any solvents as they can cause damage.
Do not submerge the Beeper in water when cleaning it.
Do not run water into the speaker horn area of the Beeper or into the battery compartment.
Dirt and debris in the speaker and horn can cause the sound to change. To clean the speaker and horn:
Unscrew the Phillips-head screw on the top cover of the Beeper.
Remove the top cover to expose the speaker and horn. (This also exposes the battery compartment and battery.)
Clean debris from the speaker and horn using only a moistened cotton swab.
Do not use any sharp or pointed objects. They could damage the speaker.
Replace the top cover and tighten the screw. Make certain that the battery has remained with the positive terminal pointing up and the gasket at the top of the battery compartment is in place.
Cold Weather Performance
All batteries experience a normal drop in voltage during cold weather. As a battery powered device, your Beeper can be affected by normal voltage drops during winter months and experience such things as:
Battery can run down more rapidly.
Sound may become weaker.
Beeper may switch itself off while training (evidence of low battery).
Radio Signal Issues
Modern microprocessor technology virtually eliminates the possibility that your unit could be unintentionally set off by someone else with a Garmin product.

I've gotta rebuild a site into two versions: English and Spanish–maybe about 10 pages each version. Unfortunately, because it deals with a government program, the translation cannot be left to auto-translator plug-ins. So my question– is it possible to have two home pages under one Dashboard, complete with unique sliders for each version—or do I need to create two separate sites? I know I can create custom menus for each language under one dashboard, so sub-pages seem straightforward–but not sure best way to deal with the home page. I haven't zeroed in on a final SP theme yet–planning first. Any thoughts appreciated.

Hi there!
Are you using a custom solution or do you work with specific plugins like "WPML"?
If working with WPML a homepage for every language is possible of course! Here and there you'll need some code snippets to conditionally load stuff for one language or the other. Best to put this all in a functionality plugin or maybe also in the functions.php…
If working with WPML and widgets (also if used for the homepages) it's best practice to use widgets on a per language basis with helper plugin "Widget Logic". I've done that a couple of times and it's working great!
However, I would highly suggest a Multisite install for multilingual websites! This has a lot of benefits, because plugins like WPML (and others) are really awesome and work but tend to lock the user in. For "only" 2 languages WPML might be an option but if you need more in the future or need a migration or whatever it could become a pain in the ass… Also, with WPML you have virtually a "dashboard" for each language site… In Multisite you'll just have 2 real dashboards. But it's all more performance optimized and you could do most stuff with default WP core stuff :-).
To help multilingual sites with Multisite there are two plugins that provide great helper tools – but don't lock you in.
These are:
and: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multisite-language-switcher/
Multisite allows proper import/export the WordPress way. With above helper plugins you'll great language switchers and for editors helping inpost metaboxes for the added dashboards (easily switching).
What do you think about that?
–Dave from Germany.
(I am a WP/ Genesis translation expert and have done some multilingual sites already…

Brian GardnerKeymasterNovember 20, 2012 at 10:17 am #870
thanks Dave from Germany, this is useful information. I'm trying to avoid a multisite install if possible–so might have a go at the WPML plugin and see how I like it, if not, will go the multi-site route. Just trying simplest solution, client is low budget nonprofit. Appreciate the links!

Allana because market sentiment will change towards commodities. US GDP contracted in Q4 2012 so expectation will be for FED to do some sort of QE leading to lowering USD.
Sector switch is happening as Gold and POT have already started accend in anticipation... and in 2 weeks times juniors will follow. This will be good for Allana if BFS meets expectations stock will sky rocket in brust.... hang in all longs....IMHO and GLTA

Canada to make lakes from oil sands
Canada is blessed with 3 million lakes, more than any country on Earth — and it may soon start manufacturing new ones. They're just not the kind that typically attract anglers or tourists.
The oil sands industry is in the throes of a major expansion, powered by $19 billion a year in investments. Companies including Shell and Exxon's affiliate Imperial Oil are running out of room to store the contaminated water that is a byproduct of the process used to turn bitumen, a highly viscous form of petroleum, into diesel and other fuels.
By 2022, they will be producing so much of the stuff that a month's output of wastewater could turn an area the size of New York's Central Park into a toxic reservoir 11 feet deep.
Energy companies have drawn up plans that would transform northern Alberta into the largest man-made lake district on Earth. Several firms have obtained permission from provincial authorities to flood abandoned tar sand mines with a mix of tailings and fresh water.
This summer, Syncrude began filling in a mine 30 miles north of Fort McMurray. Toxic slurry is being topped with fresh water from a dam to a depth of 16 feet, the level required to force tailings particles to remain at the bottom, according to Cheryl Robb, a company spokeswoman.
She says that in trials involving test ponds, Syncrude's scientists discovered naturally occurring microbes in tailings that help break down some of the pollutants. The reservoirs eventually developed ecosystems, including insects, amphibians and fish. But the largest test pond was 0.015 of a square mile, roughly 1⁄200th the size of Syncrude's lake.
"The big question we have is how long will it take before the water is clean, how long is it going to take before the littoral zones develop and the shoreline vegetation builds up?" Robb says. "But we're confident in the technology."
Green groups are alarmed. The industry's spotty environmental record drew global attention in 2008 when 1,600 ducks died in a tailings pond belonging to Syncrude. Provincial authorities introduced regulations the next year governing the storage of fluid waste from oil sands.
A June report from Alberta's energy regulator, though, said several companies are not meeting the more stringent targets.
"There's no way to tell how the ecology of these lakes will evolve over time," says Jennifer Grant, director of oil sands at Pembina. "It's all guesswork at this point. It's reckless."

I talked to an R.D. a long time ago and she said something that really stuck with me. You have to decide what is and is not negotiable for you. To do that you have to be really honest with yourself and accept yourself as you are. For example, I will NEVER get up early to exercise. I have finally accepted the fact that I am not a morning person. (This was hard for me because I'm surrounded by them.) So if I make that a goal I only set myself up for failure.

2009 Opus Prize Winner
Association Solidarité Femininé - Aicha Ech Channa
2009 Opus Prize Winner
Aïcha Ech Channa is founder and president of Association, providing services in Casablanca, Morocco, to help unmarried women with children gain the knowledge and skills necessary to ensure their own livelihoods.
During the 1980s, Ech Channa worked in the Moroccan Ministry of Social Affairs, where she was confronted by the ordeals these women and children faced on a daily basis.
"I had just come off of maternity leave," she says. "This young girl (a single mother) was in an office near mine breast feeding her baby. The social worker came in, gave her a piece of paper to sign and pulled the baby away (to be placed in an orphanage or up for adoption). I remember the time: 5:30 p.m. I couldn't sleep that night when I got home. I said, 'This has got to stop.' I could feel her pain."
In 1985, Ech Channa established Solidarité Féminine to assist mothers in similar situations. The goal was to allow single women to keep their babies and to promote the rights of mother and child. The association opened a modest canteen where women could work, learn skills, make money and take literacy classes. Programs expanded to teach skills such as cooking, baking, accounting and hairdressing. The mothers also have access to medical services, psychological counseling, legal assistance and day care for their children.
"We have hundreds of success stories," she says. They are "women who are working, studying, raising their children – a productive part of our society."
A Muslim, Ech Channa says she gains inspiration from a sense of justice rooted in the value system of all religions. She explains that single mothers have been marginalized and stigmatized for too long in Moroccan society, although she notes the situation is improving.
Solidarité Féminine officially was recognized in 2002 by the government as a charitable organization and has received financial support from Moroccan King Mohammed VI. His wife, Princess Salma, attended the opening of the association's hammam (fitness center and spa) in 2004.
In addition to the hammam and day-care/training centers, the association operates two restaurants and four kiosks in the city.

Phrases like Values Voter and Moral Majority are badges of political honour, worn with pride by certain sections of the electorate. Look a little closer though and you'll spot an interesting fact about these terms - they are completely meaningless.
Read Whole Story
Jonathan Rauch writes that Christian conservatives, in response to their defeat in the "culture wars," are likely to isolate themselves from the wider society. I think that is precisely what they will do. It's what they've done before.
As history has shown, radical Republicans won't be content with stealing the vote from the black guy down the street or that Latina woman at church or the college student next door or the senior citizen who relinquished his driver's license. They're coming for your right, too.

WASHINGTON (RNS) American views on marijuana are evolving much like their views on gay marriage, according ...
Rare is the writer who can not only recite historical facts, but also make them vibrant and flesh-colored. Karen McCarthy is indeed one such gifted writer.
To keep hearing the same political debates around our country regarding abortion, women's pay, and women's health is so surreal that sometimes I feel like a time-traveling protagonist in a sci-fi film, in which I missed a turn and went back a century.
The Republican Right has taken a break from their busy schedule of cutting services to poor people to tackle another hard hitting issue: The Democratic Platform didn't originally mention God once.
Dr. Falwell said it was time to stand for what is right. I wanted to stand for what is right. But even then, my teenage mind wasn't sure that he had effectively navigated how faith should mingle with politics. I'm even less sure today.
Anti-democratic legislation written by ALEC is pushed onto conservative members of state legislatures who propose them for passage verbatim, sort of reminding one of a junkie who can't quite kick the habit.
The irony in the evangelical opposition to Romney is that it seems to have next to nothing to do with the fact that he is a Mormon. For this, Romney should be grateful to the legacy of the Rev. Jerry Falwell.
Evangelical leaders have used the political process in order to promote their religious and social agenda for as long as I can remember. And, in my own opinion, it is a gross error in judgment.
By the 1960s, the world was out of joint again, prompting the rise of the Christian Right.
If we were really interested in bringing back the days of Eisenhower, the people paying for the Tea Party's ad blitz would have to pay for roads and bridges instead.
If Matthew Marsden is really honored to hang out with anti-gay, religious-right hate mongers -- and that's who he flew halfway across the country to be with in private -- then he should do it in the light of day.
To me, sending hate mail has always seemed like a lot of effort for little return. So I was surprised to receive over 30 nearly identical messages, all beginning, "Dear Mr. Hudson- You should shut up. You look like a queer."
What we don't realize is that we, as a nation, have allowed our own country to be ruled in part by our own domestic religious fundamentalism.
I am not saying that Jesus was a Stalinist or even a communist, just that it's very clear from his teachings that he believed that people were happier and healthier when they shared with each other.
Our biggest accomplishment was standing up for those torn down by the TV evangelists.
The Constitution, Article VI, Section 3, states "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The Minnesota Senate Wednesday passed the Dream Act, a bill that would allow some immigrants without documentation to qualify for in-state college tuition and financial aid.
The measure, sponsored by Sen. Sandy Pappas of St. Paul, passed by a vote of 41 to 23 as first generation immigrants watched from the Senate gallery.
"I feel happy, excited!" said Lourdes de la Luz, a Washburn High School graduate from Minneapolis.
"There's no words that express how I feel right now!"
De la Luz was born in Mexico, but was brought to the United States by her mother when she was six months old. She's made many trips to the State Capitol in the last few years, meeting with lawmakers and trying to make the case for the tuition bill.
"I've been living here my whole life, so I consider Minnesota my life and my home," she said.
After graduating, De la Luz took a year off so she could save money for school, and she is planning to attend Minneapolis Community and Technical College next year. Her goal is to transfer to the University of Minnesota to complete a four-year degree and work with youth.
"I want to work with students and give back something to the community that has helped me so much in my life."
Out-of-state tuition at the U of M is roughly 50 percent higher than in-state tuition. In the MNSCU system of state colleges and universities out-of-state students pay nearly double what their in-state counterparts pay.
"If you're a student from out of state and you move here and you live here for a year, you are eligible for in-state tuition and for financial aid," Pappas, a St. Paul Democrat explained.
"With these (immigrant)students, we're saying you had to have attended a Minnesota high school for three years and graduated, in order to qualify for in-state tuition and financial aid."
Pappas and fellow supporters fought off an effort by some Republicans to strip the financial aid part out of the bill.
Sen. Eric Pratt, a Republican of Prior Lake, asserted that undocumented immigrant students should not get priority over other students when it come to financial aid.
"We already have legal residents in the state that don't qualify for aid that are struggling to make college tuition payments as well," Pratt said.
But Pappas said the bill merely evens the playing field for children who were brought here by their parents, people who either came to the U.S. with permission or overstayed temporary visas.
"Financial aid is so significant because even in-state of $8,000 to $12,000 a year is not attainable for these kids," Pappas remarked.
The vote coincided with a May Day immigration reform march that began in downtown St. Paul and ended on the south lawn of the State Capitol.
This last time the Dream Act has this much momentum in the Minnesota Legislature was in 2007. The measure appeared headed for passage that year as part of an omnibus education bill.
Legislators stripped the Dream Act language out of the bill that year, after receiving a letter from then-Governor Tim Pawlenty threatening to veto the entire education bill if contained the tuition language.
That sentiment still exists among some conservatives. Sen. Julianne Ortman, a Chanhassen Republican, argued on the Senate floor Wednesday that Minnesota should not go ahead with the tuition bill because immigration reform is federal issue.
But Sen. Patricia Torres Ray said the mood of the nation and Minnesota is changing, noting that the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce supports the 2013 version of the Dream Act.
She said the business community is beginning to look at the demographic reality that many skilled professionals in the Baby Boom generation are retiring, leaving holes in the state's labor force.
"Many states are going to be following this because we believe it's important to retain high-quality students," said Torres Ray.
"And that will become the labor force we want in the state of Minnesota in the years ahead."
There is no matching companion bill in the Minnesota House, but Pappas said she will offer it as an amendment during the House/Senate Higher Education conference committee.
If she's successful it would send the Dream Act to the full House for a vote, and to Gov. Mark Dayton who supports the idea.

Parliamentary Secretary Obhrai Concludes Productive ASEAN Meetings in Thailand
Deepak Obhrai, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, today concluded meetings with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), where he exchanged views with officials from ASEAN and ASEAN Regional Forum countries on a range of regional and global issues.
"Canada is committed to the continued development of a comprehensive, two-way relationship with Southeast Asia and with the Asia-Pacific region," said Parliamentary Secretary Obhrai. "Through our engagement with ASEAN and our participation in the ASEAN Regional Forum, we demonstrate our enduring and growing ties to the region, and are able to consult, exchange views and advocate for Canadian interests."
A highlight of the meetings was the unanimous adoption of the Joint Declaration on ASEAN-Canada Enhanced Partnership, which will form the cornerstone of Canada's relationship with ASEAN and define the multi-faceted cooperation between Canada and ASEAN members in the years to come. The Declaration provides the opportunity to advance Canadian priorities in diverse fields, including human rights and fundamental freedoms, counterterrorism, transnational issues, security, trade and investment, sustainable development and people-to-people contacts.
"The security and stability of the Asia-Pacific region remain key to Canada's strategic interests," said Mr. Obhrai. "We value our participation in the ASEAN Regional Forum and that body's efforts to enhance cooperation on security issues, such as disaster response, nuclear non-proliferation and maritime security, as well as on the promotion of democracy and human rights."
Mr. Obhrai raised Canadian concerns regarding the continued detention of pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi in Burma, and called for the unconditional release of all Burma's political prisoners and the conduct of free and fair elections. He also expressed Canada's condemnation of North Korea's recent nuclear test and long-range rocket launch, calling on the country to rejoin the Six-Party Talks.
Canada participated in the ASEAN Post Ministerial Conference and ASEAN Regional Forum on July 22 and 23 in Phuket, Thailand.
ASEAN is composed of Southeast Asian member countries and Canada is one of its dialogue partners. The ASEAN Regional Forum includes the 10 ASEAN member states, Canada and 16 other members.
Canada continues to support freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law in the region and around the world.

Cleaning your iPhone
As much as you love your iPhone unpleasant things happen to us all. Whether it was the call that came just after eating a wonderfully greasy burrito or needing to open the GPS app just after checking the oil level the truth is you can't always handle your best friend"¦um, the phone with the reverence you wish you could. Stepping out into the sun and trying to find the iPod app to open it betrays the truth. You can't see anything on the smeared and blurry screen. You are going to have to clean your phone.
Using the right products
No matter what your college roommate or the guy in the next cubicle told you do not use regular cleaning products on almost any PDA or electronic device. Especially with any device like the iPhone which sports a glossy finish on the screen using harsh chemicals is a very bad idea. It will not damage the screen to the point of being unreadable, but some substances can alter the appearance permanently. The sheen will be gone and reading the screen in certain lighting will become more difficult. While the stuff you find under the kitchen sink or in the bathroom might work fast, they are too strong for a job like this one.
When cleaning your iPhone or laptop this is the one time when following the directions really is doing you and your devices a huge favor. Go to the electronic section of your favorite store and get the items that are specifically labeled to work on laptop and PDA screens.
The items needed to clean the iPhone:
- A damp soft cloth
- The cleaning solvent
- Q-Tips
Down to the nitty-gritty
If by some miracle you still have the cleaning cloth that came in the box with the phone, and it is still clean then use it. Because the surface of paper towels is rougher and has more grit than you might suspect you don't want to use them. The soft cloth can be one you find in the same electronics section as the cleaner, or you can use the same type you might use for polishing the car. The premise is the same. You don't want to scratch or mare the surface in the effort of cleaning it.
The phone should be completely unplugged and turned off. This way you won't accidently dial China or delete an app as you clean. You also want the iPhone to be unplugged from the USB before you start.
Find a spot where you have lots of good light to look the phone over carefully. Find trouble spots where there are smears and smudges. Tackle these areas first by spraying or pouring the solvent onto the cloth. Gently rub these marks away and then rub down the entire phone. Do not spray or pour the cleaner directly on the phone. Delicately use the Q-tip to get to small hard to reach spots.
Let the phone have a few minutes to dry off completely before turning it back on.

The doctor that recognizes Vincent at the hospital....was that his ex girlfriend?
Great episode! I love their connection! I'm a little choked to see Vincent's ex fiancee in the preview. I don't think they will get back together but she may be the reason if Cat backs down. I don't think Vincent will get back with ex. He had all this time to but chose to be with Cat.
OMG! Finally. Wade and Zoe official!! I'm so glad she finally admitted that she wants to be with him too!
This episode was good. I can't wait til Thursdays mid season finale. I'm sure they will make it good and with a good ending...but I'm sure they will leave some suspense at the end so they can make us suffer until January. I like the chemistry between Katherine and Vincent.

BofA Freddie Mac Putbacks Resolved for 1¢ on $
Posted By Barry Ritholtz On January 4, 2011 @ 7:20 am In Bailouts,Credit,Legal,Regulation | Comments Disabled
Bank of America settled numerous claims with Fannie Mae for an astonishingly cheap rate, according to a Bloomberg report.
A premium of $1.28 billion was paid to Freddie Mac to resolve $1 billion in claims currently outstanding. But the kicker is that the deal also covers potential future claims on $127 billion in loans sold by Countrywide through 2008. That amounts to 1 cent on the dollar to Freddie Mac.
Imagine if you had a $500,000 mortgage, and you got to settle it for $5,000 — that is the deal B of A appears to have gottem from Freddie Mac.
B of A also paid $1.52 billion to Fannie Mae to resolve disputes on $3.1 billion in loans (~49 cents on the dollar). They remain liable for $2.1 billion in repurchase requests, as well as any future demands from Fannie Mae.
My biggest complaint about the GSEs post government takeover is that they have been used as a back door bailout of the banks. This latest deal reconfirms that view.
Its a wonder B o A didn't rally further than the 6.7% it surged yesterday . . .

Join us for our Fall Foreign Language Barbecue! Click here for details
Become a Global Citizen!
You don't need to be a language major to devolop language fluency and cultural competence that will make you marketable in a global environment. Students in any major can integrate their language studies into their major program to create new opportunities. For example, political science majors with French proficiency can study at the prestigious Institut d'Etudes Politiques in Lyon through our exchange program, gaining new perspectives on world politics, or with advanced Spanish proficiency, they can complete an international internship at the city hall in Rosario, Argentina, learning first hand how government works in that country.
Our global society needs people with language proficiency, cultural understanding, and international experience. The variety of programs in our department will prepare students to live and work in a global enviornment. Come join us in exploring the world!
We are currently revising our site, but the tabs below will give you briief information about the langauges we teach.
American Sign Language
American Sign Language is not just a language; it is a physical and visual form of communication. Our ASL instructors are well connected to the deaf community, and provide cultural insights into this community as well as immersion-based instruction in ASL. Students can meet the B.A. language requiement by taking two yeas of ASL.
French: An International Language
Did you know that French is one of the top three international languages for business in the world (along with English and Chinese)? One study found that French could become the most important international language within the next 50 years, due to growth of French speakers in francophone countries around the world. The number of French speakers grew worldwide by 25% from 2010 to 2014, and will continue to grow at a rapid pace in the future.
We are taking new and innovative directions in helping students in all majors develop French language proficiency and experiences in French that are specific to their their discipline as we phase out the French major and minor in 2016. We'll help you find internships and study opportunities to enhance your awareness of global opportunities in your field of study and prepare you for employment in the 21st Century. Students can also major in International Studies using French as their language of concentration.
We have six different study abroad sites in France, and internship opportunities in France and Francophone Africa. The SOU French Club is one of the most active on campus, and our students find exciting and innovative jobs using their French language skills and international experience. For more information about our French program, visit our French site at www.sou.edu/languages/french.
German is an important language in western and eastern Europe. The German economy is number one in Europe and the fourth largest in the world. A number of international businesses are headquarterd in Germany, and the United States and Germany continue to have very close ties.
Our quality German program will help you develop confidence in speaking German. Students can study German to meet the B.A. language requirement, and our longstanding exchange agreement with Tubingen University offers unique opportunities and financial support for SOU students to study in Germany. The School of Busiiness also has direct exchange agreements with schools in Germany, and German exchange students also come to SOU. Our active German Club will let you connect immediately with other students who share your interests in the German language and culture.
Japan is not just the country of Sumurais and Kumonons. Japan is a leading world economy and Japanese animation has sparked a new interest in Japanese language studies. Many students in EMDA (Emerging Media and Digital Art) and students in media studies are attracted to Japanese. Japanese students make up one of the largest groups of international students on campus, providing lots of opportunity to interact with native speakers. SOU also offers a study abroad opportunities in Japan. Students can study Japanese through the first two years and continue their study of the language and the culture by studying abroad.
It is estiimated that by 2015 the United States will become the country with the highest population of Spanish speakers. Spanish is not just the native tongue of most of our neighbors to the south, it is the native language of many of our fellow Americans.
You can major in Spanish Language and Culture or minor in Spanish. Our major includes a balance of language, culture and literature courses, with opportunities to work in the local Spanish community, or do an international internship in a Spanish speaking country. Study and internship opportunities in Spain and throughout Latin America will help you improve your language skills and prepare you to work in a variety of fields where Spanish speakers are increasingly needed.

It's the first day of school 'round these parts. Just in time to be an official third-grader, my son got his new quilt.
Because, really, do you know many third-graders who don't play Minecraft?
The Creeper quilt was incredibly easy to make, of course. Four shades of green and a bit of black, and then it's just straight patchwork. It took me way longer to finish than it should have, though, simply because I just wasn't that into it.
I said to my husband that it's not exactly my favorite quilt I've ever made, but he was quite right when he replied "yeah, but it's not for you, is it?" Well, no. It's for my boy, and he liked it and got exactly what he asked for, so the project was a success.
I quilted it very simply, just straight lines on one side of each seam. I might normally quilt on both sides of each seam, but this time I went a little more minimalist (also because I'm lazy and because some of my corners don't match up very well and I didn't want to draw more attention to that… BUT NO REALLY IT'S A DESIGN CHOICE).
And the binding is three different solid greens that I had in my stash, easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy.
And now it's time to crack down on his little sister's "blue and purple triangles" quilt, which she WILL NOT LET ME FORGET MOM IS IT DONE YET WHAT ABOUT NOW?

I warned y'all on Thursday that I would start the game drilling into your minds! We're going to start by focusing on Nintendo. Yes, my dear, beloved Nintendo. I'm a fanboy (and always will be), but even I have to admit that Nintendo is currently dealing with quite a few problems. The worst part? Most of these problems have been self-imposed over the past console generation and-a-half by Nintendo themselves. It's only now that the "minor" annoyances gamers found with Nintendo's strategy are starting to catch up with the company. Something has to change! And I'm here to discuss just that! This will be the first of a five-part series summarizing what Nintendo needs to change in order to stay on top. The rest of the posts will cover the following:
Nintendo 3DS has a ways to go...
Nintendo's 'Project Café' has a ways to go...
Nintendo's online strategy has a ways to go...
Nintendo's innovation has a ways to go...
Please remember, the notes and requests will all be coming from the deepest recesses of this poor fanboy's heart. I hope to be neither for or against Nintendo with this series. So please give heed to your fans, Nintendo! These posts will be leading up to Nintendo's huge E3 Media Presentation on June 7 at 9 a.m. PDT, at which time we can see and discuss their newly presented plan together! So let's start with some general ideas…
What's done is done. Say what you will about the Nintendo Wii, it's graphical prowess, family-oriented approach, and it's junkyard of third-party shovelware. The Wii was a smash success. Really, it's incredible how well the Wii did. The Wii sold more units in the United States than the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 combined in the first half of 2007. The Japanese market lead was even bigger, with the Wii outselling the PS3 6:1. When it really hit some of us fans was when it was announced that the Wii had outsold both the Gamecube and N64's total sales combined! That's really an incredible testament to how well Nintendo's motion-controlled gamble paid off!
Of course a similar statement could (and should) be said for the Nintendo DS. Nintendo moved away from the GameBoy formula with the DS, which was an incredibly risky move on their part. They realized this too, of course, and originally marketed the DS as a "third pillar" of Nintendo's temple of gaming systems. Hence the release of the GBA Micro before the DS took over. Of course, the rest is history! As we learned last May, the Nintendo DS has outsold the Game Boy's total 118 million units sold, making the DS the best selling handheld gaming device in history.
I mean really, guys, these are incredible figures. Nintendo earned $3.5 billion in 2009 alone!! So what has Nintendo done with this vast wealth? Well they've released a new handheld, the Nintendo 3DS. And since the Wii's sales have started slumping recently they've announced their new home console system (codename: Project Café).
Of course there were problems along the way. Third-parties basically left the Wii in the dust after the first two years due to poor software sales and limited graphics capabilities. What I like to call "video game jocks" laughed at the system's "inferior" graphics. Core-gamers choked at the sight of the family-and-fitness directed gaming. Families didn't know the Wii did anything beyond Wii Sports. People jammed their toes on the Wii Fit Balance Board. And countless TV's and windows were forever lost in the gruesome wave of Wii-mote spearings. Meanwhile, it sold like hotcakes, so nobody much (other than the jealous Sony/Microsoft fanboys) cared. In fact, Nintendo's motion-control gambit was so successful that Microsoft and Sony both came out with their own versions (with notably limited success by reviewers). But what's going on now? The game has changed. Now people are talking about "Nintendo's domination being over". Well, I certainly don't think there's call for that! The only reason the Wii isn't boasting such astronomical figures lately is because everyone on planet Earth already owns one. 84 million sales and people are surprised there's suddenly a slump? Blame the global population for this one, not Nintendo. And there's only been one Wii model released. The DS, PS3, and Xbox 360 all get the major bonus sales for offering multiple upgraded models for users to buy again.
Nintendo gained a world of "casual" gamers with the Wii, but distanced generations of existing players by offering nothing worth playing but first-party games. Of course there were a few third-party efforts at first, but most all of them didn't receive the love they deserved (Zack & Wiki, here's lookin' at you, kid!). Don't get me wrong, those first party games were usually amazing, but the third-party support needs to be upped beyond anything Nintendo has currently received if they hope to stay on top for a second go-round. The corporate heads over at Nintendo realized this, and thus announced that the Nintendo 3DS launch would focus almost entirely on third-party.
Sadly, third-parties did not take the lead whatsoever and the 3DS has had an extremely lackluster arrival. In fact worthwhile software has been virtually absent on the system thus-far. Street Fighter IV got great reviews, but it's not enough to hold up a system past launch day all by it's lonesome. Sure, other people have tried to point out that "the DS had a similar start" but I, for one, have never seen my new Nintendo system so lonely. Article after article on major gaming sites have pointed to the lack of "things to do" on the system. This is pretty amazing, saying just how much content the 3DS has built in right out of the box. Face Raiders, the multiple AR Games, the Mii Plaza and puzzle challenge, Find Mii, the 3D camera and editing software, the fun 3D music tool, the list goes on! Maybe Nintendo packed all this in because they realized the launch might seem a little barren. It's notable, though, that people have openly called the AR Games the most fun you can have on the system, including the software titles. So you have to give Nintendo a lot of credit here: they really tried, and did a great job giving third-parties the best chance in the world to flourish from the start without stepping on their toes or sales! Sadly, they completely dropped the ball. Maybe they purposefully avoided the system. Maybe they just weren't used to Nintendo giving them so much room.
Everywhere you look, Nintendo has quite a ways to go before they can say they've won a second round in a row, especially with the established gaming crowd. They're going to need the full support of third-parties this go, and that's something they haven't had for generations. But now Nintendo's rich. They hit the jackpot with the Wii/DS and certainly have the money now to purchase the rights to some exclusive first-rate third-party content. Let's hope they take that change while they still have it. They've got a ways to go, but there's plenty of hope. Let's continue this talk with the next article in this series, Nintendo 3DS has a ways to go…
Happy Trails,

This working paper studies the determinants of trafficking for forced sexual exploitation, at a cross-country econometric analysis. The paper provides empirical support to show there exists a statistical relationship between the number of victims trafficked out a country and the level of female youth unemployment in that country and that countries more opened to globalization and having more prostitution are more likely to be destination places for trafficking victims.

Employee Jake Ehrlund works to install lights bulbs for the new exhibit in the North Wing of the Asheville Art Museum. Museum expansion could draw additional tourism and downtown business, proponents say.
- Filed Under
For architect Barbara Field, the $2 million city government set aside to help pay for an Asheville Art Museum expansion represents a higher property tax bill.
Restaurateur Peter Pollay sees it differently. Additional museum patrons means more customers walking into his Posana Café on Biltmore Avenue wearing stickers showing they just toured the museum.
Altogether, the $24 million art museum expansion - to be paid for with money from private and public sources - would double the museum's size, taking it from 24,400 to 50,900 square feet. ...

By Kevin Harlin, INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY01/18/2013 03:31 PM ET
Investors welcomed State Street's (STT) fourth-quarter earnings beat and its plans to cut expenses by eliminating 630 jobs worldwide.
Shares of the No. 2 stand-alone custody bank gapped higher at the open and climbed 5.9% intraday to 53.36.
State Street reported adjusted earnings of $1.11, up 19% from a year ago, and 11 cents over analysts' expectations. Revenue climbed 6% to $2.45 billion.
Those results were hampered by its clients' risk-aversion in the face of the "fiscal cliff" of tax hikes and spending cuts that was to happen at the start of the year. A last-minute debt deal in Washington averted that, though some uncertainties still remain.
"As we look ahead, we are encouraged by the recent market strength and early signs of client re-risking. We remain confident in the long-term growth prospects of our business and are focused on servicing clients, growing revenues organically, managing expenses prudently, and returning capital to shareholders," CEO Joseph Hooley said in a statement.
The planned staff cuts answer calls from some large investors that it cut expenses.
The results were better received that those from No. 1 custody bank, Bank of New York Mellon (BK), shares of which fell after it beat views earlier this week but left investors wanting more trading revenue.

WHITLEY Co., Ky. (WYMT) - Whitley County sheriff's deputies are asking for the communities help with a scam investigation.
Officers are looking for 21-year-old Mark Anthony Adams of Laurel County.
In February Adams told one homeowner he worked for the Cumberland Valley RECC and needed to install lightning rods to protect their home.
After installation Adams told the homeowner the cost for the rods was $8,000.00.
When she refused to pay Adams dropped the price to $4,000 and said he would lose his job if he did not get the money.
After she wrote a check to Adams for the $4,000.00 he disappeared, but not for long.
Sheriff Colan Harrell said he returned, "Adams had a chainsaw in his hand and said that he needed to do some work around that residence."
The woman told him to leave and called the sheriff's office.
If you have any information you can call the Whitley County Sheriff's Department at 606-549-6006 or Whitley County Dispatch at 606-549-6017.

Lehtonen's numbers keep getting better
Someone tonight asked me if Kari Lehtonen was the best goalie in the NHL right now, and I said, "Top five, maybe?"
But, if you look at the numbers, Kari Lehtonen might very well be the best goalie in the NHL right now. During this 10-0-1 streak, Lehtonen is 8-0-1 with a 1.29 GAA and .955 save percentage. That is downright amazing.
Ilya Brzgalov is 9-2-0 in his last 11 starts, but he has a 1.79 gaa and .932 save percentage.
Here is Stars coach Glen Gulutzan on Lehtonen:
"The last month he's brought his game to a new level," Gulutzan said. "Yeah, the shutout, but just how clean he was with the rebound control, I think is what was most impressive. He's given the guys the belief that he's not going to let any in."
Captain Brenden Morrow added: "He's just so poised back there. He doesn't anything bother him,. And when he's that way, it's easier for us to be that way."
Lehtonen said it's a team thing:
"We played really solid, especially five-on-five," Lehtonen said. "They got a couple of chances on the power play. It was just good to get the win and just enough goals for us."
Gulutzan said he has not yet decided if Lehtonen will start Wednesday at Winnipeg or if Richard Bachman will get the start.
