Believe me when I say that I do not like nicknames as first names but I really think that Mila would be absolutely be fine as a first name. It reminds me of the actress Mila Kunis who seems so bubbly and full of personality, maybe that is why I like the name so much. But I understand the need to feel like you need a more substantial name. My husband and I have all but eliminated 4 letter names because we just didn't feel like they were "enough."Baby #1 Due February 2, 2016Married to Adam since 2012I love...

Mil a is traditionally a nickname but is gaining in popularity as a given name due to Mila Kunis. I wouldn't say that it's well established as a given name since it has only been in the top 1,000 since 2006. It is very trendy (rising from not in the top 1000 to 115 in less than 10 years).
It's a diminutive of Slavic names that contained the element mil, meaning gracious, dear. Ludmila, Milica, and Milena are some full forms with the nickname Mila.Em (stillborn 7/09) | Bo (08/09)

Milica and Milena are nicknames for Mila, not other way around.
Mila is not an element, it's word. Means gentle, gracious, sweet, dear, etc... Therefore, Milena and Milica are "invented" names deriving from name Mila. But Milena and Milica become established names thousands years ago, so it's OK to called them names. Just, Mila as a name is much older then Milena or Milica.Cecily Beatrice, Charlotte Ravenna, Aurora Valkyrie, Rosalyn Amoret, Melody Seraphina, Rosamund Eliska

Milica and Milena are not nicknames for Mila. They are long forms that contain the element mil. Milica is a diminutive of names that contain mila but not a nickname. Ludmila literally means gracious, dear people. It combines lud- people and -mila gracious. Milena isn't directly related to Mila.
Mil/mila is a name element. A name element is an etymological piece of an individual name. These elements come from a single word. Bert, Fred, adel, and mil and adel examples.
Mil was a word long before it was a name. It was a nickname long before it was a name.
Word ---> name element ---> nickname ---> name

The point is - Mila is standalone name.

SV, Mars students earn accolades for artwork, writing
Seneca Valley Senior High School senior Laura Stewart has some advice for aspiring artists.
"Keep going," Stewart said. "I didn't start out good, but with time and practice you eventually get there. And observe a lot. You'll end up getting your own style and you just fly from there."
Stewart was among more than 40 Seneca Valley and Mars students who won top recognition at the Western Pennsylvania Scholastic Art & Writing Awards.
They were recognized at a ceremony Feb. 23 at La Roche College.
The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards is the longest running and most prestigious scholarship program for non-collegiate students in the U.S.
Previous winners include artist Andy Warhol, author Truman Capote and actor Robert Redford.
Seneca Valley had nine Gold Key winners, 15 Silver Key winners and 22 honorable mentions.
Mars Area High School had two Gold Key winners, two Silver Key winners and five honorable mentions.
Students entered individual works or portfolios of six to eight pieces to be judged as a whole.
Gold Key winners will have the opportunity to enter their art in the national show in New York City in June.
Stewart received Gold Key awards for the painting "Tree" and the drawing "Vase" and several Silver Key awards for drawings.
She prefers to draw, but she has done "a little bit of everything," she said.
"I love drawing because I can capture details and pull different things out that you wouldn't normally see or recognize in an object," Stewart said. "I like to focus on the details. My style is very realistic and very detailed."
Seneca Valley senior Catie Dillon won a Silver Key award for the oil painting "Through the Fire" and won a Gold Key for a mixed media piece she entered through Cherry Court Studios, a private art studio in Ross.
Dillon said she draws most of her inspiration from the world around her.
"I draw a lot in my sketchbook," she said. "I take ideas from things I read or see in the news. I develop ideas from stuff around me."
Jim Nagle, art teacher at Seneca Valley Senior High School, said he is proud of all of his students who entered the competition.
"We're always happy to have works go on to any high-level competition, but you know that there may have been really good works that don't go on. My job as a teacher is to let students know who don't go on that their work is still great."

Palermo Hollywood
Hotels in Palermo Hollywood
If your Argentine fantasy includes polo mallets, saddlebags, and other equestrian accoutrements, look no further than this patrician hotel in the calm northern reaches of Palermo Viejo, an area recently dubbed Palermo Soho.
Past and present coexist with remarkable grace in Buenos Aires; for evidence, one need only book a room at the Krista.
Since its December 2005 opening in Palermo Hollywood, the rock star–funded (U2 producer Flood and Crowded House bassist Nick Seymour) hotel quickly became the go-to lodgings for Diesel jeans–clad cool kids.

I'd like to build a page for mplayerplug-in that when loaded plays a movie automatically, and in full screen, and loops (smoothly) indefinitiely.
Now my understanding from previous posts is that using loop="yes" in the embed tag is the way to get smooth looping. But after experimenting, and then looking at the code, it seems like one cannot specify fullscreen="yes" in the embed tag, it has to be set afterwards. The problem with this is that once the movie loops, it is no longer in fullscreen mode.
I've tried using onMediaComplete instead of the loop option, but it causes a small jump between loops.
So before I write a small patch to add fullscreen to the embed tag, I just wanted to check if anyone has a better way of doing this?
Kevin DeKorte
Currently what you want to do is not in the code. However, I would take a patch for it.
You'll have to edit plugin-setup.cpp to add the embed tag
You'll have to edit plugin-thread.cpp to only call the SetFullScreen = 0 in the loop if the embed loop and embed fullscreen tags are present
This is gonna be kinda of a tricky problem to solve.
Have you thought about trying to solve this problem at the browser level. of course that would still leave you with the window boarder. at minimum
OK, will have a poke at the code over the weekend.
Could you explain what you mean by solving "the problem at the browser level"?
Did a very quick alteration to plugin-setup.cpp to add the embed fullscreen tag, haven't changed anything else yet, but setting fullscreen="true" crashes the browser with a segfault. This happens in the SetFullscreen method in plugin.cpp when it calls:
GDK_WINDOW_XWINDOW(fs_window->window), 0,
Any pointers (no pun intended) appreciated.
I would guess you are switching to fullscreen mode prior to SetWindow being run and so gtkwidget has not yet been initialized.
Managed to cobble something together at the browser level like you mentioned before, using large "height" and "width" values and the autohide plugin for firefox to hide all menus.
It's not pretty though, especially the grey box at the bottom of mplayerplug-in which is where the controls would normally go I guess?
Did you set showcontrols='0' in the embed tag?
Yup, there's no sign of the controls, just a narrow grey box below the video.
Try adding this to the HTML
<body style="background:#000000; background-color:#000000;">
See if that helps
Thanks for all the help :)
It looks like it's a scaling issue, if I have a movie of size 720x480 for example, I have to specify height and width embed values in the ratio of 1.5, otherwise mplayerplug-in pads the bottom of the movie with a grey box so as to maintain the movie scale, but still give me the output size I asked for. If I do my sums right then I can get rid of this grey box, and things look quiet nice. The nice thing about the fullscreen option though is that "it just works".
Thanks again,
Nope, it actually plays for about a second before segfaulting, and the debug output shows two pairs of
*****SetWindow Callback Enter************
(debugging output)
***********SetWindow Callback Exit**************
OK, the problem was with fs_window not being initialised. Now I need to figure out how to make fullscreen persistent across loops....
On a related note, I'm currently seeing a "blip" between loops of the video (looks like a quick flash of a white screen), and I'm not sure why this is happening.
With debugging turned on, I get the message:
"Starting: mplayer -wid 0x3c00127 -xy 1000 -vo x11 -zoom -user-agent NSPlayer -osdlevel 0 -nojoystick -noconsolecontrols -cookies -slave -loop 0 -fixed-vo -rtsp-stream-over-tcp -nomouseinput -cache 512 /home/cian/movies/theshapeofdays/ww_H.264_768_audio.mov"
And running this from the command line (without "-wid 0x3c00127") plays the movie in a loop without any blip.
I've tried with xv, and x11 video output, but with similar results, am I missing something obvious?

Chinese New Year Divination, Mediation and Ritual
Every New and Full Moon I perform a collective divination that is relevant for all who read it. This New moon Divination is extra special because it is also the Chinese New Year of the Metal Rabbit!
The Age of Rites A Masked Face Dances
On each Full and New Moon I pull a card from the "Temple of Paradise Oracle" and d a collective Divination for all of us. This New Moon Divination is also the Chinese New year do the card doesn't only reflect the trend of the lunar month but also the trend of the coming year, the year of the Rabbit 2011.
Divinaiton and The Temple of Paradise Card
Before we get into the reading, here is a little info to help you understand what the 'Temple of Paradise' deck is. The Paradise Deck contains fifty two cards. These are subdivided into four sets of twelve. Each set corresponds to one of the four Ages, or seasons of humanity's existence on Earth. These, plus four main cards which denote the overall quality of a complete Age bring the total number of cards to fifty two.
The cards were designed and sketched by Shunyata and then artistically rendered over a course of several years by his team of Balinese apprentices. The cards themselves incorporate the universal language of symbology into dream-like bubbles of imagery.
Each card corresponds to one of the fifty two weeks in the year. The year is divided into four seasons; fifty two divided by four equals thirteen. The thirteen is the mysterious lunar principle, for thirteen lunar months fill one solar year and thirteen weeks constitute a quarter of the year. A similar correlation is found in a regular deck of playing cards…
The card that I pulled is the "Age of Rites and Rituals", the full divination is several pages in length. Instead, of posting the whole reading, I'm only giving you the particulars. In subsequent posts you will come to know a lot more about the "Temple of Paradise", but for right now lets just look at what the reading has to tell us.
The Age of Rites is the mirror-like era of generation. It is creation's imitation of the creator's ideal. Rites keep the channels of communication open between humanity and the 'Universal Being'. By reflectively embodying the harmonic ideals that underlie the fabric of existence, you can recognize the trans-personal archetypes that work generational magic through the ritual of time.
Three and a half thousand years before Carl Jung coined the word archetype, Plato in the Republic, introduces his 'Ideals' through an analogy of beds and tables. He explains that there are many beds and tables in the world, -
"But there are only two ideas or forms of them- one idea of a bed, the other of a table".
The carpenter who makes a bed, table or anything else, does so in accordance with its essential ideal. In this way, the making of things in the changing- impermanent realm, mimics the unchanging- permanent ideal.
Through the ritual of impermanent existence we express the permanent ideal of existing. And everything that we do is but a reflection of immortal potential. Rituals and Rites are the thread that connects the multifarious expressions of creation to the ideal. Each imitative act has synchronistic reverberations in the quantum of eternity.
The Age of Rites is when humanity starts to perceive its inner nature through the ego or personality. We all have an {I} which precedes our name, as in: I am so and so. What generally goes unnoticed is that we all share the same {I}. When the personality became personified, we traded the state of perpetual wholeness for the multifaceted experience of self discovery and development, "the human adventure."
5th Pomegranate Seed (Power of Endurance) Cancer 6°
The spark is igniting the magical fire of a new epoch. You are no longer on the threshold. Your follow through and endurance has led to a rebirth. The illumination of new beginning now enlightens your path. The old is falling away, new friends, new talents, and new way of living are being kindled. The fires warm light will nourish the discovery and growth of your deepest values. Follow your instincts and clear away outdated thoughts emotional patterns. Listen closely to the words you share both in your own mind and with others. Descry with awareness, not attachment.
6th Pomegranate Seed (Power of Observation) Cancer 7°
The world of your experience, that your senses reveal, is less then one percent of the quantum spectrum of life, energy and matter. Out of the 400 million bits of information that you are exposed to every second, you're only aware of 2,700. You heart beat, digestion and the one million chemical reactions that each of your 70 trillion cells go through every second, are driven by a higher self, spiritual intelligence.
Your higher instincts and intuition are the reigns of the Divine Being, the spirit that guides human evolution and sets the rhythm of time. It is sacred potential realized in the dimensional sphere of action.
When diluted by emotional frailties and fallacies, the spirit of our higher self becomes shackled by misconception and ignorance. As is evidenced by society's unnatural morality and disjointed laws. We have the responsibility and the capability to over come ignorance and embrace life, love and the joyous light of being.
Dream-like qualities, patterns of synchronicity are illuminating hidden qualities and connections. Your awareness is growing like a newly lit fire.

I've been wanting to make a football field cake so I was happy to do this for a friend. This is a white chocolate sour cream cake with buttercream frosting. Birthday boy's team is the Wranglers - and his colors are red, white, and navy blue. The whole process of this cake went great. I think it was the least mess I've ever made in the kitchen :-) I guess I'm getting better at this whole cake decorating thing. Thanks for looking!

Although recent public policy has focused increased attention on the importance of fatherhood responsibilities, this attention is evolving in the absence of solid information about how fathers can help or hurt the well being of families. This project will follow a birth cohort of children, along with their mothers and fathers, in the five cities included as part of the Foundation's Urban Health Initiative to improve its understanding of health and well being problems faced by unwed parents and their children. The cohort studies will be done in Baltimore; Detroit; Oakland, CA; Philadelphia; and Richmond, VA, providing useful information about both young children and adolescent mothers and fathers. The study will test: (1) whether the participation of unwed fathers in early family life improves the health and development of newborns; (2) whether alternative public policy approaches (related to welfare and child support) affect the participation of unwed fathers in early family life; and (3) whether adolescent mothers' health and well being are helped or hindered by the presence of unwed fathers.

I did a funny old trip to Oslo in October – landed at 1pm and was back on the plane by 8pm! We literally had about four hours to do three pictures – each with full hair and makeup. It was for Stella magazine – I have posted one of the shots below. It makes me wish that I had really long princess hair, but then I can foresee that it would be a nightmare to maintain! Can you imagine how often the drains would get clogged up? Mr AMR would spend his entire life poking the deconstructed wire coathanger down the plug hole! Bless him…

Walgreens, Gap, Levi Join Oil Sands Fuel Boycott
A campaign to boycott Alberta-sourced gasoline has gained momentum after several U.S clothing manufacturers and a major U.S. drugstore chain announced they would avoid oil sands-related fuels.
The Gap, Timberland and Levi Strauss, as well as Walgreens, have joined a growing list of corporations choosing to avoid using gasoline refined from Canadian bitumen, reports the Calgary Herald.
Whole Foods and Bed, Bath and Beyond had previously joined the boycott according to the Canadian Press.
Federal Express has promised it will consider the environmental and social impacts of the fuels it uses, although it didn't specifically mention the oil sands.
The move to less carbon-intensive fuels was sparked by an ongoing campaign by San Fransisco-based environmental group Forest Ethics, Walgreens spokeswoman Tiffani Washington told the Calgary Herald.
"We found that it was a relatively simple process of surveying our vendors, seeing which ones may have tar sands oil sourcing and simply avoiding those vendors," Walgreen's spokesman Michael Polzin told The Canadian Press. "We are in that process right now."
The drugstore chain, which operates more than 700 trucks in its 7,500-store network, surveyed its fuel providers to avoid any sources of oil sands-sourced gasoline, Polzin said.
"What this signals is the beginning in earnest of the financial war over the tar sands," said Todd Paglia of the environmental group Forest Ethics, which is organizing the campaign.
"In the U.S., customers are increasingly saying we don't want to be part of the tar sands," Paglia told The Canadian Press.
Paglia admits the U.S. produces heavy oil of its own that isn't singled out in Forest Ethics' campaign. But he said the size and environmental impact of Alberta's oil sands as well as the plans to increase its imports into the U.S. makes it an appropriate target.
Canada is the largest exporter of oil, both conventional and synthetic, to the United States, shipping approximately 1.99 million barrels per day of its 2.6 million bpd production south of the border.
The list of U.S. based refiners processing Canadian bitumen include BP, ConocoPhillips and ExxonMobil, as well as Sunoco, Murphy Oil and Marathon Oil.
Forest Ethics' campaign wasn't the first against the oil sands sourced gasoline. Last month Corporate Ethics International urged Americans and Britons to "Rethink Alberta" as a polluting, environmentally challenged province rather than a Rocky Mountain tourism destination, reports the Canadian Press.
The news that more retailers were avoiding Canadian crude, raised the ire of Albertans, from politicians to business associations, which called for reverse boycotts of U.S. products.
The Alberta Enterprise Group urged residents to stop supporting retailers that say they have stopped using bitumen-based gasoline but continue to face allegations of using child labor in Asia.
"It smacks of hypocrisy," David MacLean told the Alberta Herald. "It's a public relations stunt at our expense, and by 'our,' I mean Albertans and Canadians."
International and Intergovernmental Relations Minister Iris Evans noted the industry is one of the most heavily regulated in the world, and urged consumers to learn more about what Alberta is doing to produce cleaner energy.
"We've been talking to a lot of global transportation providers and retailers and a lot of them understand the complexities of not only oil sands, but about removing any type of fuel from the fuel supply," Janet Annesley, a spokeswoman for the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers told the Calgary Herald. "And they want to work with us to find solutions rather than simply make a PR statement about a boycott."

Some of our customers have mentioned that they are discussing this with their logistics providers. I'm really impressed with how seriously companies are taking the oil sands discussion. Kudos to companies who are asking questions instead of turning a blind eye.
We invite Levi Strauss Co, The Gap and the affiliates (as well as any other American/international company currently marketing their products in Canada that does not want to accept our "dirty" money) to NO LONGER do business on Canadian soil.
By all means, purchase your oil from regimes that provide NO human rights or environmental stewardship.
Don't let the door hit your "behind" on the way out.
It's interesting that these hypocritical "green" companies love to do business in wealthy Alberta and don't seem to mind heating and lighting there businesses with "dirty" oilsands fuel or fueling up there heavy gas using Denali's and Escalades while pulling there huge holiday trailers all over the country. I wonder how all these environmental freaks such as greenpeace or forest ethics get these supposedly responsible corporations on there side. It's shameful and appalling how hypocritical these corporations really are . If they have such a problem with Alberta oil, then pull out of Canada and good ridance!
Levi Strauss and GAP hire sweat labor in Losetho, Africa, and then pump untreated waste and chemicals directly into rivers, killing fish, sickening people.. and then stand arm in arm and point a finger at Alberta.
Now, apparently, they will be buying oil from Iran because it's "cleaner".
Tell that to victims of 9-11.
Hypocritical bastards.
How hypocritical and narrow minded Forest Ethics are. Instead of focusing on facts, they are obviously focused on drama.
If the USA chooses NOT to use oil produced from the Oil Sands, please don't.
Please import more oil from Saudi Arabia, Venezuela or better yet, Iran.
As well, please consider having BP drill more oil wells in the Gulf of Mexico and in Alaska.
And please gloss over the huge amount of coal consumed in the USA for the production of electricity. Oh, and don't forget the heavy oil production and massive amount of shale gas production occuring now in the USA.
Yes, it's better to pick on one of the most reliable, most heavily regulated and improving industries in Canada – the Oil Sands.
You (USA) aren't neighbors any more. Neigbors help each other. There are many more customers for oil produced in Alberta than the USA. We will ship to them.
You forget the security you once had – you surely will remember once Saudi Arabia has you in their wire rope again.
Thank you Walgreens, GAP, Levi, and others. That's what is great about nations that enjoy "freedom" of choice. You choose to make this your priority to not buy our oil… well then I'll choose (and be vocal with my family and friends) not to support your products. Walgreens, good luck when Rexall puts you under. To the GAP and Levi's keep up the good relations with the Chinese and Indian slave manufacturers….maybe one day they'll make enough to buy your crappy products.
To all who are posting here in defense of the tar sands oil:
Tar sands oil deserves to be vigorously opposed *whereever* it shows up. Canada, the US, anywhere. It is a crime against humanity and the environment to pursue this oil source. It is substantially more GHG intensive than even conventional oil, it wastes incredible amounts of water, and it degrades huge expanses of land.
Let me be clear: if we continue to pursue tar sands and other "unconventional" forms of oil, we will have zero chance of avoiding catastrophic climate change. It is as simple as that.
So, stop defending this destructive process and start doing everything you can to protest and stop it.

Dear Custom Organic Shirts:
You are so naive. You ignore the facts about the oil sands. Oil sands make up about five per cent of Canada's overall greenhouse gas emissions and less than one-tenth of one per cent of the world's emissions. Oil sands are contained in three major areas of northeastern Alberta beneath about 140,200 square kilometres, with approximately 602 square kilometres of land disturbed by oil sands surface mining activity.
That's roughly the size of Florida, with the amount of land disturbed for oil sands mining roughly equivalent to the size of the Kennedy Space Centre.
Approximately 80 per cent of recoverable oil sands is through in situ production, with less than 20 per cent recoverable by mining.
Alberta is the only place in North America that regulates GHG emissions from large emitters in the energy sector.
Alberta's $2-billion commitment to Carbon Capture and Storage is one of the ways that are being used to move us toward clean energy technology, today.
Tailings ponds are closely monitored and industry must develop plans to reclaim them. Research in-the-works is looking at ways to eventually eliminate tailings as we know them.
Just so you know.
And heaven help us if we're reduced to selling T-Shirts Made in China for our living – all 350 Million North Americans!
Walgreens is the largest pharmacy chain in the U.S.
It's also corrupt.
For years, they secretly altered their customers' prescriptions, without their doctor's knowledge, in a giant insurance scam across 42 states. They targeted Medicaid, the program for low-income Americans. So they were stealing from taxpayers and the poor at the same time. That kind of big thinking is why Walgreens is number one.
Walgreens replaced inexpensive drugs with drugs that were up to four times more costly. Only when an honest pharmacist finally blew the whistle on them were they stopped — and fined a whopping $35 million.
Are you ready to take moral lessons from Walgreens? Because they've just announced that they're switching their trucks to fuel that doesn't come from Canada's oilsands — as an ethical statement.
Taking ethical guidance from Walgreens is sort of like taking abstinence lessons from Hugh Hefner.
I'd call for a boycott of Walgreens, but they don't have any stores in Canada (and, despite their name, they are no relation to Walmart).
But Walgreens isn't the only moral hypocrite to come out against Canada. So did The Gap, which also owns Banana Republic and Old Navy.
Do yourself a favour: Don't buy their clothes.
This applies especially to Albertans, whose jobs depend on the oilsands. There are 26 Gaps, Old Navys and Banana Republics in Alberta. Boycott them.
But it goes for Ontarians, too, where more people work for the oilsands now than work for the Big Three automakers combined.
And it goes for anyone with a pension — odds are some of your savings are invested in the oilsands. The Gap could hurt your retirement. So hurt them back.
Not just because they are boycotting Canadian oil. But because they've had their own ethical failings, too.
In 2008, a shocking TV report out of India showed children as young as 10 working in sweatshops sewing clothes for The Gap. One child had been sold to the factory as a slave, and had not been paid in four months.
Sorta gives "Baby Gap" a new meaning, doesn't it? Banana Republic isn't just a brand name, it's the location of their factories.
The Gap claims they were shocked to learn about this. Just like they were shocked a few years earlier to learn their factory in Saipan kept indentured workers in with barbed wire, and bullied pregnant workers into having abortions, so as not to lose time off work.
They're shocked a lot over at The Gap.
And now they say they're shocked by Canada's oil.
But Canada's oil isn't produced by 10-year-old kids or abused Chinese women.
Yet we're supposed to take moral lessons from the likes of them.
There is a question the fools at Walgreens and The Gap haven't answered: Where are they going to buy their gasoline from, if not Canada?
Saudi Arabia? Could there be a more unethical barrel of oil than one from that racist, misogynistic, terror-sponsoring dictatorship? Venezuela, to enrich strongman Hugo Chavez? Iran, with its nuclear plans?
We should boycott The Gap because they're thumbing their nose at us. And because they have used what looks an awful lot like slave labour.
But we should also boycott them because they're making an unethical fuel decision: Swapping Canadian oil for Saudi or Venezuelan oil.
How could you in good conscience give money to someone like that?
Walgreens, GAP, Levi, Timberland – you won't be selling much product in Alberta in the future. Back pedal all you want Levi – I reckon from now on it will be GWG and Wranglers – great marketing ploy for a company that is still trying to bury their use of child labour by blogging about how bad an idea that is — after you got caught. Seems like you are always reversing your position on "ethics".
Well, don't worry about oil sands fuel. We are building connections to the west coast from Alberta to provide fuel to people who appreciate it. We put the project on hold in the 80's but the times are changing, our southern neighbours may not want our oil, but our western neighbours do. And we can get our clothing from there too. C'Ya
Dear Custom Organic Shirts:
You do know that Climate Progress is a bit of a joke – they cut any opposing viewpoints to theirs and they are a mouthpiece for certain global warming alarmist types. You should also read Watts Up With That for a more balanced although slightly skeptical biased viewpoint.
Check who is behind Climate Progress and then read what is there with that in mind.
Wow, I am little shocked at almost everyone considering only themselves in their responses. Who is speaking for the children who inherit the leftovers of the tarsands? Who is speaking for the environment and displaced animals? As a Canadian, I am glad to see the tarsands boycotted, not that that will do anything to slow it down, money is at stake. The Albertans who responded above are enjoying that money today.
How short term memory of everyone; we have known about the tarsands for many years but only when it became profitable did the mining start.
Those who complained about the boycotts may want to reconsider the long term for a second and realize that oil today will be spoil tomorrow. Look around the world at all of the oil rich patches the size of Florida. They are now desolate waste lands of rusting oil equipment. Alberta will see its end and regret its greed, and soon, all of us will reap the results of our bad behaviour towards the environment and short sightedness of consumer economy.
Canada has worked to drop their environmental footprint on Oil production by huge amounts each year. You won't find the same environmental restrictions and checks from any other oil producing company. They'd rather get their fuel from the middle east where neither environmental issues or human rights are taken that seriously?
If they're serious about environmental issues, they should take their semi's full of merchandise off the roads and look at themselves instead of pointing the finger without real solutions.
I find it irritating that these companies would boycott this oil. Granted it looks horrible in how it scars the earth but at the same time, there are procedures in place that the oil company in Candanda must follow. So in the meantime they want to continue to ensure our yoke to the Middle East oil? I'd rather buy the Candadian Oil anyday. I say boycott Walgreens, Gap and Old Navy… besides have you seen what they do themselves..How about the million pounds of PLASTIC hanger they throw away every day!!! or the cheap slave labor that is used to create their cheap cheap clothing…O God, the list could go on…so where is my decision…I will NOT be shopping at any of these stores…
I'm so sorry that my Walgreens is part of this boycott. Now I'm going to have to boycott Walgreens, this after several decades of being a Walgreens customer.

The Answer to Height Phobia. Fast, Effective and Guaranteed
If just thinking it causes you to start to feel the fear, it's time you did something about it. The good news is that we know for sure: there's no question you can overcome height phobia.
Here is what we offer:
- Height phobia significantly improved, maybe even gone within a day
- Utter discretion
- We've helped people from 70+ countries vanquish their fear
How to Get Started
There are two programs we offer to help you overcome height phobia fast. You can choose to experience the Home Study program (going at your own pace on your own time), or choose to work one-on-one with a highly-qualified practitioner:
Home-Study Program: Vanquish Fear & Anxiety
Order as Boxed CD's & Workbook or Download the Program Now
• Start Immediately by Downloading Now
• Work in Private at Your Own Pace
One-on-One 'VIP' Program
Individual Program Created Specifically for You by Your Practitioner
• Private Sessions with Board-Certified Specialist
• Advanced Techniques to Eliminate Underlying Fear
How the Program Works: Getting Over Height Phobia
Re-'wiring' your unconscious mind is the key to this program – and its safe and surprisingly easy to do. You know that Height Phobia isn't working for you. But it affects you because your unconscious mind has associated heights with fear and perhaps a bunch of other negative emotions and they get triggered automatically – like clockwork – every time.
You have not been able to prevent your feelings of fear because you have not been given the methodology to change your feelings and associations. We are here to teach you on how to use the right techniques to vanquish the fear forever. Interested in putting these techniques to use?
- Are you ready to speak with a Board-Certified Specialist? Contact Us Now Contact Us Now >
The Only Real Solution to Your Fear
We're going to leave the terms 'treating' and 'curing' to the medical profession. The key to this program is knowing that you are the one who will be making the changes. Our job is to educate you as you journey through this course to overcome your fear.
This system is going to help you overcome anger, sadness, fear and other negative feelings and help you replace those feelings with more positive ones. Why keep living your life with negative emotions when you can easily change them? Are you ready to interrupt the cycle of destructive thinking?
Where Your Height Phobia Comes From
Height phobia in many (but not all) cases is triggered by a nasty experience in the past. In some cases, the mind has seemingly, without basis, created the fear. By exposing the root cause, you will be able to remedy the problem by easily exchanging harmful triggers. People who are at the greatest risk include:
• Individuals who are predisposed to feelings of worry and anxiety
• Ones who are characterized as 'high-strung'
• People suffering from adrenal insufficiency
Do any of these describe you? Click here to see what individuals like you are saying about our capability to make a difference.
Or, see what the media has to say.
How to Know If This System is for You
You can use our two minute Height Phobia Online Test to determine the problem's severity, but it's really pretty simple: Do something about it now, if the fear is having a sizable negative influence on your way of living.
- By simply thinking about Heights, do you become woozy?
- Does it automatically initiate sticky hands and a mouth that is made of cotton?
- Does your heart beat like a drum?
- Do your legs go weak?
Those were only a handful of examples of the feelings you might suffer. Read more on the symptoms of height phobia.
We can help you get rid of not just the symptoms, but the cause. Our goal is to have you get rid of the root cause of the fear.
Pills and Medication
To use <pills and medication for Height Phobia> isn't supported in our program because we believe they act as 'camouflage', That said, you should follow your doctor's recommendations and always and seek proper medical advice if you want to change any medication. A pill can sometimes act as a quick fix and may seem to help briefly but will not allow you to be free of the fear.
By the way – no one has ever developed a drug exclusively for Height Phobia – so it's hard to justify popping a pill as a healthy solution with all the uncertainty that surrounds potential side effects.
The good news is with CTRN you will overcome Height Phobia, without prescription pills..

Drillex; I have been here a very long time. I have had to put up for years with a litany of nonsense from a parade of professional de-rampers, the deluded, the prejudiced, the ill-informed and the incompetent whilst trying to present a rational case for this company. Check it out and then come back and criticise myself and the few other stalwarts. I have the advantage over most investors in that the NR the other day confirmed the investment thesis that I argued. 'TGOLD' has put the case for TLM and WZR tesing thoroughly as well as I could. It is madness to drill a hugely costly well and then not test. It's infantile to argue otherwise. But, even if that daft argument is accepted it is irrelevant - it is not finally up to TLM or WZR. They HAVE to test every productive zone or risk the wrath of the Dr Ashti Hawrami and the KRG. It is Kurdistan's oil and they want to know how much is there and how much can be produced.
Bandage up your hurt feelings, hold your hand up and let us all enjoy this investment after the years many of us have spent in the wilderness.
GL all.

MUMBAI: The cash-strapped finance ministry has made it compulsory for banks to meet bad loan recovery target for fresh capital investment, a move that could improve the profitability of lenders and reduce bad loans in the future.
The government has mandated state-run banks to recover at least 20% of their written-off loans to receive any capital this fiscal, said two bankers familiar with the directive. This was conveyed to bankers recently, they said preferring anonymity.

2015 SAA Candidates:
Alesia Kruckenberg
Alesia has been with the University of Alaska (UA) as a student and/or employee for more than 15 years. She earned both a paralegal and an accounting degree from UAF and is pursuing a master's in public administration from UAS. She began her career with UA in 2001, as an Administrative Assistant for Statewide Risk Services. Four years later she accepted a Budget Analyst position with the Statewide Budget & Planning (SBP) office. Today she is a manager for the SBP office, overseeing the development of UA's operating and capital budgets. Alesia is dedicated to the success of UA and believes that effective system offices (Statewide Services) are an important component. When compared to UAA or UAF, Statewide is small group, but perform important functions such as service to the three universities and compliance/oversight. She believes Statewide offices have unique challenges, which require an informed and engaged governance presence in order to maintain effectiveness.
Amanda Straight
Amanda Straight moved to Alaska in 1998 when her father was stationed at Ft. Wainwright, and has resided here ever since. She graduated from UAF in 2011 with Associates in Applied Business, 3 months after having her third child. Her two boys are 8- and 7-years-old and her daughter is 3 going on 13. Amanda began working at UA Foundation in 2013 as the Fairbanks Gift Manager, soon becoming the Fairbanks Fund & Gift Services Manager.
In her free time, she enjoys running her own cake decorating business, Sweet Cakes, and hanging out with her beautifully blended family with her boyfriend and his 2 sons.
Needless to say, there is never a dull moment!!
Amanda Watt
Amanda Watt is the Senior Data Analyst for the University of Alaska Foundation. Previously, Watt worked as the assistant director of annual giving at UAA.
She was born in Phoenix, Ariz., but grew up in Anchorage. Watt received her bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of Alaska Anchorage in 2004 and is currently working on a degree in computer programing.
Arthur Hussey
I have been in Fairbanks off and on since 1996. I transferred to Statewide from UAF in early 2012, shortly after I finished my distance ed Master's degree in humanitarian services. Here at Statewide, I coordinate Financial Aid for Student and Enrollment Services (SES). My position requires that I collaborate closely with a wide variety of audiences on both technical issues as well as upper level policy matters, similar to SAA demands.
Specifically, I am interested in SAA for four reasons:
1. I believe in Statewide and the value it provides UAF, UAS and UAS;
2. I am not new to difficult, necessary organizational change and believe that "change management" is critical, more so now;
3. I work closely with stakeholders, particularly in Student and Enrollment Services where I am based and would bring that collaborative approach to SAA; and
4. I'd really like to participate in organizational level discussions and representation for Statewide staff.
Ashley Holloway
I was born and raised in Fairbanks, Alaska. I graduated from UAF in 2010 with Associates in Applied Business. I have a rambunctious 7-year-old boy and a little doll for 2-year-old little girl. I began working at UA Foundation in 2014 as the Fairbanks Gift Manager.
My tasks include but are not limited to accepting donations for UAF and Statewide. My responsibilities are to make sure donations to the University are processed per the donor's intent in a timely manner.
I would like in the future to further my knowledge of the University and be able to have more of an impact in working here. As I am still new, I would like my career to somehow have more of an effect in helping the University.
I enjoy spending my time going out on family off-roading adventures via dirt bike, snow machines or one of many off-oad vehicles. I also enjoy playing softball and volleyball.
Carrie Crouse
Carrie Crouse moved to Fairbanks, Alaska in 2007. Since then she's worked in a variety of capacities throughout the Fairbanks Native Association, Banner Health, and UAF. She obtained her MBA from the University of Phoenix in 2001 and her B.A. in English from the University of Northern Colorado in 1998. She earned her Girl Scout Gold Award as a Senior in High School.
In the short six months that she's been employed at the University of Alaska Foundation, she has already felt a responsibility and commitment to the university. She would like to be involved in university affairs and desires to help cultivate a happy workplace by becoming a member of the Statewide Administration Assembly.
In her spare time she enjoys baking and outdoor activities including hiking, camping, and photography.
Chrystal Warmoth
Hi Everyone! My name is Chrystal Warmoth and I have lived in Anchorage since 1996. I have worked for UA Facilities and Land Management since the spring of 2012 and have been a member of SAA since 2013. I am a big believer that if you want change or prefer the status quo then you have to participate in the process to get the result you want. If you want to have the right to complain that a situation is not to your liking, it is only fair that you have put some kind of effort into getting the result you wanted, otherwise no complaining when it doesn't go the way you want it to.
I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, sitting in the sunshine, listening to music, learning photography, going to the bookstore and did I mention that I love the Sunshine cause I really love the Sunshine.
Thank You!
"Too many people are thinking the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, when they ought to just water the grass they are standing on."– Amar Dave
Dana Platta
Dana moved to Fairbanks in 2002 from Illinois and began working for UA Statewide, supporting Banner, as the HR Lead Analyst Programmer for Enterprise Application Services in OIT. Dana was involved in SAA from 2006 through 2014, in roles ranging from an alternate to a member to the Vice President. As the Vice President, Dana also participated in the Staff Alliance and the staff compensation working group. She is a strong supporter of the SAA mission (http://gov.alaska.edu/saa/mission.html) and appreciates the role governance can play in affecting, in a positive way, employee welfare.
Danielle Nelson
I'm Danielle Nelson and I've been a Claims Technician with the System Office of Risk Services since March 2013. I'm also currently a graduate student at UAA pursuing a master's degree in public administration. Prior to moving to Alaska, I spent almost 10 years in corporate insurance in Seattle, WA.
As we all know, we are facing some tough times ahead. I would be honored to represent your concerns and interests as we navigate these challenges together. On a personal note, I would also love the opportunity to become more connected and involved with the University – as well as get to know more of my Statewide colleagues.
I am extremely proud to work for – and be a student of – the University of Alaska. I hope to have the opportunity to represent you in SAA. Thank you for your consideration!
Dale Denny
I am a lifelong Alaskan. I began my employment at the University in 1987 as a computer operator for UACN Production Services. As a computer operator, lead operator, and manager for OIT Data Center Operations, I have viewed employee relations from multiple perspectives and noted (and learned from) the results of actions taken, both desirable and otherwise.
I would like the opportunity to be more active in governance in light of the difficult times we all recognize to be on the horizon.
Elaine Main
Elaine Main started as administrative assistant to Ashok Roy in January 2012. She previously worked at Statewide as a student, but that was long ago. Over the years she's held various positions similar to the administrative duties she does now. She was lucky enough to be a stay-at-home mom for more than 10 years.
Main was born in New York but grew up in Fairbanks. She graduated from Lathrop High School and earned a bachelor's in business administration from the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
Linda Toth
My first degree was Liberal Arts, History, while my graduate degree was earned in Computer Science. The two disciplines combined to offer me two perspectives with which to view the world: insight into repeated patterns and attempts toward progress by human society balanced by an analytical mind.
I started at UA as a Software Development supervisor for the Alaska Satellite Facility in August 2006. A few years later, in December 2008, I took a position with OIT, Core Applications where I stayed until accepting a position with OIT, Identity and Access Management in November 2012.
I have thought about what I could offer SAA that others would not do better and the only thing I think I bring to the table is the ability to think clearly, a commitment to fair treatment toward all, and a passion for the mission of the university.
Lisa Sporleder
I started working at UAF in 1990 and moved to Statewide in 1993, first in Public Affairs and then Human Resources before getting hired by Data Center Operations in 1997 as a Computer Operator. I've held my current position, Data Center Analyst, since 2000. My previous service as an SAA member has included terms as Secretary, Vice-President, and President. During my SAA presidency, I also served one year as Vice Chair and two as Chair of Staff Alliance, and three years as Chair of the System Governance Council. While I have not been on SAA the past four years, I have continued to participate in SAA events, coordinating the Holiday Food and Mug Drive and publishing the program for the annual employee awards event.
Monique Musick
I have been an active representative in governance almost as long as I have been at Statewide in the Office of Public Affairs. Participating in governance has been the most important way for me to contribute to improving the workplace, comment on policies and practices affecting staff, represent staff concerns, facilitate communication, and to learn about activity at all levels of the university. I enjoy this work and would like the opportunity to continue to represent staff perspectives in the systemwide governance process.
Tina Holland
The state of Alaska has been a fantastic match for me for more than 25 years. I've enjoyed hunting, camping, fishing, a marriage of 20+ years, rearing three active boys, and living and working in Fairbanks.
My career in the Environmental Health and Safety profession stands as an example of my commitment to enhance and further safety at the University and in the community. I am currently the Deputy Director for the Health Safety and Environmental department with the System Office of Risk Services in Fairbanks.
I have had the honor of serving the University staff on the Statewide Administration Assembly as Secretary and as a member during my term. I appreciate all of the feedback that has been given to me by Staff and support during these difficult and uncertain times.
Sam Phillips
Sam Phillips has worked in the insurance industry for 13 years. His last job was working for Marsh USA as their professional standards officer prior to going back to college.
Phillips was born and raised in Palmer. He received on-the-job training in the insurance industry and attended a number of seminars.

While working in the insurance field, he had a property & casualty insurance license and achieved a CISR (Certified Insurance Service Representative) designation.

England defender Ashley Cole will play in Chelsea's FA Cup quarter-final at Coventry on Saturday despite his arrest for drunk and disorderly conduct outside a London restaurant earlier this week.
Cole was led away from South Kensington's Collection restaurant in handcuffs early on Thursday morning after abusing police officers following a night out with Chelsea team-mates John Terry and Michael Mancienne.
The left-back, who is married to Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole, claimed he was being harrassed by photographers, who had reportedly taken pictures of him talking to a woman in the venue, and he was unhappy that police at the scene failed to help him.
Cole, who issued an apology for his behaviour, was given an £80 fixed penalty by police. The former Arsenal star didn't escape the wrath of Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink, however, who gave Cole a stern talking to at the club's Cobham training ground on Friday. Hiddink also spoke to Terry and Mancienne to warn them about the responsibility to the club and their team-mates.
The Dutch coach hinted that Cole would be disciplined for breaking Chelsea's code of conduct but Hiddink, who has lost full-back Paulo Ferreira to a cruciate ligament injury for the rest of the season, admitted he would not be left out of the squad for this weekend's cup tie.
"Ashley Cole will be in the squad on Saturday. To be fair and open I've talked with him about the situation.," said Hiddink. "We talked in private and he explained the details to me," Hiddink said a press conference on Friday.
"I've spoken firmly with him about his responsibility. There are rules inside this club regarding going out and also discipline. I had a firm talk with him and also the rest of the group about this. What is normal and good is he apologised for his abusive behaviour against the police officer. He over-reacted abusively. He went a little bit too far. At that moment they were outside the rules set by the club. I've spoken firmly with him, the captain and the vice-captain."
"Every case is different. You have to judge the circumstance. In his opinion he was harrassed a little bit and that is why he reacted. He went out of control and that is where we tackled him," Hiddink said. "I've had things going on with big players 10 or 12 years ago. Everyone knows that was a situation with the Dutch national team.
"It was counter-productive to the relationships within the teams. When it is harming the relationship for productivity in the team that is when I will say enough."
With Cole's scandal high on the agenda, Hiddink hardly fielded a single question about football during his pre-match briefing, but he did reveal that Ghana midfielder Michael Essien and Portugal defender Ricardo Carvalho will feature at Coventry. Essien has been sidelined with a knee injury since September, while Carvalho has also been struggling with a knee problem.

Small fire at St. Johnsbury Athenaeum called arsonOctober 07,2013
ST. JOHNSBURY A local youth who is accused of starting a small fire in an elevator at the St. Johnsbury Athenaeum over the weekend is to be charged with fourth-degree arson today at Caledonia County criminal court in St. Johnsbury.
According to police, 17-year-old Robert Rohaley was arrested in connection with the fire on Railroad Street shortly before 3 p.m. Saturday.
Rohaleys arrest occurred roughly 15 minutes after police spoke with a patron who found printed posters on fire in the Athenaeums elevator and extinguished the small blaze with his foot. The patron told police he saw two young men exit the elevator and that when he entered it he found the burning items.
On the strength of physical descriptions provided by the patron and surveillance video, police said they were quickly able to locate both youths and arrested Rohaley.MORE IN This Just In

My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
I am currently pursuing a PhD at Florida State University, and I work several other jobs. Broadly, I try to better myself every day (or week, depending on my schedule) without seeming too existential or irritating.
I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
most things. I'm not great at many of them, but I'm pretty versatile and good at learning new trades and excelling quickly. I also like writing quite a bit, although sometimes I'm pretty verbose or come across as trying too hard, such as when using words like 'verbose'.
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
My eyes and/or intensity. I'm a fairly passionate person, and it can be obvious when someone hears me talk about a topic I care about.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
Usually I don't make "favorite" lists, but if forced to choose I'd say Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance makes it, as well as It's a Wonderful Life. I try not to watch television too often, but Arrested Development, The Wire (or anything on HBO), Wonder Showzen, and Mr. Show really get me excited.
The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
I have a hard time not exercising aerobically every day. I also would have a hard time not having access to the news (the good kind, which is usually online, in an expensive magazine or in another country). Other things include: opinions to disagree with, thunderstorms, the road atlas in my car, and comedy (in both the "complement to Greek tragedy" and "I like laughing at stuff" sense).
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
Basically everything. It's a blessing and a curse. I like thinking about life and philosophy, but also about shallow things like soup recipes or ideas for clever small businesses that would almost certainly fail within a year but have entertaining business models (e.g. an upscale skateboard shop located atop a hill which sells cheap, imported products but offers a ski lift to the store, on which customers are peddled life insurance policies). Anything involving conflict and chaos really interests me; really anything is fair game, except for lobster fishing. I refuse to discuss lobster fishing or the lobster fishing industry.
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
Working, creating new cocktails, socializing, or some combination of the three. Occasionally, I'll sleep.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
I've never been romantically involved with someone either 20 years older or younger than me.
You should message me if
Offer a few tips to help matches win you over.
You can handle someone who asks a lot of questions; your friends say you're bizarre but overall pretty good company; you're willing to build a canoe from scratch, even if after thinking about it for a few minutes it seems like too much work.
