Very true. When a show is good its those little things are are important to you (or me in this case) that seem to stand out as not quite right. Its why my sister in law was never able to watch CSI (she is in forensics) and my wife can't watch most legal dramas (she is a lawyer). Me, I tend to see problems with weapons and so forth. Its not a big deal and I still enjoyed the show, can't wait for next week!

Sig. Alfonso Perotti, 20, was born in Borgomanero (Novara), Italy, on 15 August 1891. In 1912 his father was dead, he had been a tailor, and Alfonso's mother, Emilia Del Piombo, lived in Borgomanero with other two sons: Luigi and Giuseppe.

When he signed on to the Titanic on 6 April 1912, he gave his address as 2 Denmark Place, Charing Cross Road, London. The Titanic was his first ship. He came aboard on 10 April 1912.
Perotti sent his mother a Titanic picture postcard on 6 April 1912 from Southampton, where he wrote:
Dear mother and brothers, I have been here two days so that I can embark on the ship (on back) to go to America. I'll be back at the end of month. When you write to me, send to this address: Bowling Green Italian House, Southampton. I'am good. Ciao Ciao.

Perotti died in the sinking. His body, if recovered, was never identified.
A tombstone on a Borgomanero cemetery bears a photograph in memory of Alfonso Perotti.

Wealthy might not always mean savvy
Posted In: Investing
The SEC wants to raise the net worth requirement of hedge funds from $1 million to $2.5 million to keep out smaller investors. But some critics wonder what wealth has to do with it. Steve Tripoli has more.
The mystery of declining DVD sales
Posted In: Entertainment, Retail
The entertainment industry is concerned over a potential drop in DVD sales. But Steve Tripoli reports that the problem may be the format's lack of growth.
So, economists, about the job numbers...
Posted In: Economy, Jobs
What's it mean for the economy that 110,000 jobs were created last month and unemployment ticked up to 4.7%? Steve Tripoli asked economists for some clarity in the Labor Department figures. But, well, they're economists.
Polishing a tarnished, subprime image
Posted In: Housing
Countrywide, the nation's biggest mortgage company, is gearing up for a major public relations campaign to improve its subprime-debacle image. Steve Tripoli reports that Countrywide needs to be careful how it deploys the PR playbook.
Credit score versus insurance rates
Posted In: Auto
Congress is taking up the issue of whether a person's credit score should determine their insurance rate. Consumer groups find the practice discriminatory. Steve Tripoli has more.
Investing like Yale: Don't try at home
Posted In: Education
Yale and Harvard have a lot of money to invest, and thanks to some smart decisions and investors they are likely to be well-funded for a very long time. But individuals really don't have the luxury of time these institutions have -- basically, to infinity. Steve Tripoli reports.
'Buy 1, Give 1' laptop campaign boots up
Remember the group that want to provide a $100 laptop computer to kids in poor countries? It hit a snag, in part, because it couldn't deliver the machine at that price. Today, it rebooted its business plan. Steve Tripoli reports.
Closing a door to identity thieves
Consumer groups and the big three credit reporting bureaus have been feuding for some time over when and how consumers can keep their histories from being released -- especially to fend off identity thieves. Now there's a break in that battle. Steve Tripoli reports.
A change of course and tone
Posted In: Economy, Housing, Investing, Wall Street, Washington
Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson let it be known today that the White House has decided to consider letting Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac buy up jumbo loans, something it's been opposed to. And Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke added it better happen soon. Steve Tripoli reports.
Credit card debt? Mortgage can wait
Posted In: Housing
The subprime loan crisis is making some homeowners shift priorities. One big credit counseling service found that many clients are paying their credit cards before they cover the mortgage. Steve Tripoli reports.

How to Stay Hydrated
Water makes up 60 to 70% of the human body and therefor, is required to keep it running smoothly. It gives you better skin, more energy and even helps losing weight.
1Have something to drink when you first get up in the morning. Just have some water beside your bed, it will help you feel more awake and ready to start the day. A lot of people only drink milk or coffee in the morning, but at least 1 glass of water is better.Ad
2Have water on you at all times. Plastic bottles are cheap and can be carried to work, school or when you are away for several hours. Put them in your handbag as well and keep some in the car. Or get a reusable water bottle. Some have marks for reading how many milliliters or fluid ounces of liquid you have.
3Try to drink before and after exercise. Especially in hot weather. Also drink every 15 minutes while sporting.
4Drink before you get thirsty. When you are thirsty, your body signals that it already has a lack of fluid. You should drink often enough to keep this from happening.
5Limit caffeinated and sugary drinks. Caffeine makes your body lose its fluids more rapidly, and sugar in drinks, even orange juice, slows down your body's intake of fluid.
6Monitor your water intake. Know that there is no replacement for water and when they say you need 3 liters (0.8 US gal) of water per day, you can't drink 3 liters (0.8 US gal) of coke, juice and such.
7Eat hydrated food. Fruits and veggies make out a great part of our daily water intake. Having fruit salad as a snack is delicious and you're getting hydrated at the same time.
8Keep water beside your bed. If you wake up in the night, it's handy to have water so close by.Ad

Labor Unions on Health Care: Their True Motives
By: jsherk
Unions across the country are campaigning hard for Obamacare over Labor Day weekend. The AFL-CIO has made creating a government run public plan their top priority. Yet polls show that most Americans strongly oppose this. So why have the self-proclaimed advocates for Americas workers made government-run health care their top priority?
Union leaders say they are fighting to win win secure, high-quality health care for all against greedy and self-interested corporate defenders of the status quo. Many union activists sincerely believe this. But altruism does not explain why the labor movement is spending tens of millions of dollars on this campaign.

#20350 Sep 12, 2013
Two cents: "A few weeks ago, I discussed the fact that labor unions have been increasingly vocal about their objections to certain provisions of the Affordable Care Act. Obamacare will shatter not only our hard-earned health benefits, but destroy the foundation of the 40 hour work week that is the backbone of the American middle class, wrote three labor leaders in July. Now, according to a report from InsideHealthPolicy, the Obama administration is considering offering insurance subsidiesintended for the uninsuredto labor union members who already have employer-sponsored coverage. Unions seek additional subsidies for multi-employer plans
The issue at hand is the way Obamacare affects multi-employer health plans, also known as Taft-Hartley plans. These plans consist of employer-sponsored health insurance that is arranged between a labor union in a particular industry, such as restaurants, and small employers in that sector. Approximately 20 million workers in the United States are covered under such arrangements, including 800,000 of the 1.3 million members of the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, whose leader, Joseph Hansen, signed the letter I described above.
Workers with employer-sponsored coverage dont qualify for subsidized coverage on Obamacares insurance exchanges. Those subsidies are designed for low-income people who arent offered coverage from their employers, and have to shop for insurance on their own. But the labor union leaders want those subsidies to also apply to their members with employer-sponsored coverage, even though they already get those benefits tax-free due to the employer tax exclusion for health insurance." "WASHINGTON, DC - MAY 20: AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka addresses the National Press Club May 20, 2011 in Washington, DC. Trumka answered questions about what he calls the recent attack on organized labor and working families, and said that the unions would not support politicians, Republicans or Democrats, who remain silent in the face of those attacks.(Image credit: Getty Images via @daylife)"
#20351 Sep 12, 2013
"Now, according to Rachana Dixit of InsideHealthPolicy, the administration is working on regulations to address the issue that people covered under Taft-Hartley plans arent eligible for subsidies. But its not an issue in the sense of being a glitch or a mistake; union leaders are seeking special treatment, and additional taxpayer subsidies, that other participants in employer-sponsored coverage dont get.
Democratic aides and sources off Capitol Hill say conversations about unions concerns are ongoing, and they say that the administration is working on regulations to address the issue, Dixit writes.But, it is not clear if the proposed Department of Labor rule would satisfy unions concerns.Separately, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi [D., Calif.] said to union members earlier this month that she was still working to resolve their concerns about the law, particularly on the Taft-Hartley plan issue. Richard Trumka, president of the AFL-CIO, confirmed to Alexis Simendiger of RealClearPolitics that fixes to the law were a topic of conversation among top labor leaders and senior White House officials this week.We were talking about health care, and well continue to talk about health care to try to solve problems, said Trumka. Trumka, James Hoffa, chief of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, and other labor leaders met with President Obamas chief of staff, Denis McDonough, on Tuesday.
Fixing unions concerns requires an act of Congress
However, its not clear what the White House can unilaterally do to address unions concerns. The text of the Affordable Care Act is straightforward; if you have gained coverage through an employer-sponsored health plan, youre not eligible for subsidized coverage in the exchange, because you already get a subsidy through the tax code: you dont pay income or payroll taxes on the value of your health coverage.If, suddenly, the 20 million people on Taft-Hartley plans were eligible for subsidies, Obamacares costs would skyrocket. If half of those Taft-Hartley enrollees gained $5,000 per year in tax credits along with their tax-free health benefits, were talking $50 billion a year in additional insurance subsidies for those individuals. Thats more than half a trillion dollars over ten years, accounting for health inflation.
I would say that its inconceivable that the White House would seek to impose such a fix to Obamacare without the consent of Congress. But, given the other changes that the administration has made to the health lawof similarly questionable legalitywe cant rule anything out. http://www.forbes.com

It has already been stated over and over again that Obamacare will have their problems as it develops. Even Obama stated himself.
That the Unions want a bigger piece of the pie than the rest of us is nothing new. That has always been their basic negating thrust. What are you going to do ?
Are you going to play chicken little again like you do with the stock markets ups and downs.
Naïve.. All a flutter
#20353 Sep 12, 2013
Just as you were so frighten with Syria issue and the down of a market report and I told you to settle down all this has already been anticipated.
Obamas sword rattling has circumnavigated around the most dysfunctional House of Tea intoxicated politicians in our nations history. Debt is still decreasing at an alarming rate and the Unions will have their day as well.
Negation loopholes were intentionally drawn into the framework of Obamacare to emulate the constitutions elasticity.
Now gather up your feathers and settle down for the night and get some rest. All of these matters are beyond your comprehension and it shows how much it distresses you.

Americas inequality;
Rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.
Illumination of this can be viewed within our USA. Increasing wealth, disproportional to the impoverished who are unable to maintain an
equitable ratio in gains. Impoverished, at their best, stagnation of their share in laborers productivity. Increasingly eroding of their portions of share to their labors productivity. Increasing to the inequality and accelerating negatively to the impoverished.
Three decades of low wages, to the 90%, with a growth of 15%. Earnings increase to the 1% have been cruising at 150% increases as to the 0.1% are racing at 300% Greater acceleration of wealth accumulation has affected the wealth at the bottom.
Middle class bastion of secured wealth accumulation has been severely oppressed. Homes lost their values. Top 1% lost wealth but it was soon recovered. Middle class years later are just now experiencing a strangulated loss gain to their investments if not a total loss. Typical 1% held 225 times the wealth of the typical middle class household. Doubling the ratio experienced as they were in 1962 and 1983.
Prior to 2007 the 1% enjoyed accumulating 57% of the nations wealth. Producing an increase in capital income after 1979 some 7/8 while those in the 95% received less than 3% of the increment.
Consider for an example; Waltons family of the Wal-Mart empire commands a wealth of 69.7 Billion. Compare this to the total wealth of the 30% of the entire population, of the impoverished within the USA.
Good middle class jobs have been eviscerated that required moderate skills, like autoworkers jobs, in ratio to the unskilled laborers. Where in at the top greater skill levels were required.
Polarization of the labor force. Collapse of good jobs has been in affect for the last 25 years. Wages have gone down, increasing disparity of inequality in favor of the 1%. Creating a downward spiral for the middle class laborer.
Presently as an example; Single earner of family of two children, in good health, manages to work 40 hours per week,{Presently Average working hours for Americans is at 34 hours} at a wage above minimum {$8.50/hr} Pays S.S. which reduces his earnings to $8.00. Yearly income is $16,640 for 2080 hrs of labor.
Pays no income tax but his employer charges him $200 a month for health insurance, to cover entire family and employer picks up remaining $550 cost per month of the cost to health insurance. This results in a take home pay $14,240 a year. Luck on his side, finds an apartment for $700 month with all utilities included. Now this reduces yearly earnings to $5,840 to cover all family cost for the year. Add in a car with fuel, insurance and maintenance at $3,000 per year and what remains is $2840. Under $3.00 per individual per day. No entertainment and no buffer zone for accidents or lost of wages.
Many states cut child care. Average monthly child care for two children $1,433 per month to be subtracted from the $2,840 a month families income. Results in $1.30 per, person per day!

It always seems to circle back to this inequality thingy.
Down memory lane for Dang.
Here we can "attack" say a tree, which we want to dispose of. Many attack the branches where in one attacks at the roots for more effective immediate results.
Similar to what we have here on this thread. Lets go to the root of the problem. Inequality of our labors productivity distributions.
Price of Inequality is far more expensive to one and all. Inequality properly addressed, that would benefit, yes even the lone hermit in the woods, to his majesty on the throne, if inequality were to be more justified in its distributions.
Now I will provide a video chart which may be more helpful in comprehending inequality as it is presently exist within the USA.
We take care of that problem and the might of the USA would be undisputable through out the world and its Free Markets.
Yes even here in the USA, Austerity has taken its toll. Diminishing our strengths to compete effectively, on the Free Markets Of the World. http://neweconomy.net/content/wealth-inequali... video chart USA wealth Distributions..

Poorly constructed safety nets. OSHA, OSHA, where forth art thou?
Let us now consider those who lost their jobs. Full time employment dropped by 8.7 million during November 2007 to November 2011. Just as 7 million were entering the workforce for jobs. Deficit to laborers employment can be calculated at 15 million. USAs unemployment insurance one of the least in the western civilized nations. A safety net in dire need of repair overflowed and tore apart. Generally unemployment insurance was for 6
Months. In the Great Recession that was severely underestimated. Unemployment of 1 to 2 years more the norm and growing. Eligibility was used to eliminate sectors of the unemployed resulting in late 2011 inadequacies of only 38% of the unemployed were receiving benefits. 44% never received any benefits. Those receiving benefits, 70% of them, realized their benefits would not sustain them to the next employment. More than 50% of those receiving unemployment benefits, suffered emotional and health problems. Health Care is unavailable to the unemployed, compounding the seriousness of the issue. Middle aged unemployed lost hope of ever finding work. Optimism still high on 70% of all unemployed that they would find work within the next 12 months.. Alas American unemployment is emulating Europes long intervals of unemployment scenarios. Affect of lifelong earnings dwindling with every passing day of unemployment.
Insecurity enters the fray. Employed work with visions of pink slips being forth coming. Observing low levels of social protection administered to their fellow laborers exacerbated their insecurities and trust in a failed system. Pensions and health to be offered onto the altars of Wall Street!
Once it was a security to know your pension was secured through government policies that regulated corporations bearing the risk of stock markets investments and or the S.S. net of the government. Now this is under siege to transfer the pensions responsibilities to the laborers at an age where inexperience or a failing of comprehension is to decide and secure their pensions. Been there done that. Does not work out for the average retiree. Failure of that ideology was prevalent during the years before F.D.R.
Imagine had the laborer adhered to the analyst of Wall Street as the Great Recession started to blossom. Predatory schemes eating up all their life savings, with no nets to catch them from their fall, to the streets of desolation row. Just as what republicans advocate for our already polarizing labor forces and the increasing inequality of wealth. Note the millions that lost their life savings and or their homes, shelter, health, security with the minimal regulations that was able to blunt the full measure the full scope of the disaster. Now we are to remove even these weak and unreliable safety nets.
Weakness and disrepair to these nets produced losses to retirement accounts.$6.5 trillion loss in housing valuations. Minorities and those that fell prey to the predatory lending schemes were hit even harder. Predatory loans on individuals blew away the American dream for all of them, for decades if ever to return, to one more chance at the American dream. African Americans household lost 53% of their wealth. Hispanics lost 66% of their household wealth. Rendering their assets to less than 5% of the average white Americans. Average white American lost substantially, to $113,149 in 2009. A 16% loss of wealth.

Here is a great quote by Michael Savage.
Teddy Roosevelt said "walk softly and carry a big stick". Obama says "talk loudly and carry a limp stick".
What a total embarrassment to the U.S. that we have in the White House when even the President of Russia shows far more leadership. All we have is a
worthless panty-waist libtard that totally sucks at everything he does, except take vacations.

Workers for Cully Construction, who were contracted by the Indiana America Water Company, flush water pipes in order to take samples for testing prior to road construction on March 21 on 300W Morrison Rd. between W. Jackson Street and and W. McGalliard Rd. The section of road will be closed starting April 1, for phase one of a widening project.
- Filed Under
Brace yourself for more detouring; Morrison Road just north of Jackson Street is about to close to traffic again.
Signs warning of the pending closure were scheduled to be installed on Friday, and the actual road closure for the first phase of this year's work on the road project is scheduled to start April 1.
Local drivers got accustomed to avoiding that stretch of the north-south road along the edge of Muncie-Center Township last year, when Morrison from Jackson to Petty Road was closed to traffic for months. And that was just for the shifting of utilities in preparation for this summer's ...

Getting to PNG
Having secured a job in Port Moresby in 1988 it was then necessary to get there. Knowing that the last couple of weeks in Belfast were scheduled with "the client from hell" I decided that a few days stopover en-route to PNG were necessary. In any case then, as now, there were no direct flights from Belfast to PNG (I wonder why?) so I had to change planes somewhere!
Basically I had to get to somewhere in Asia or Australia with connections to PNG. In those days, again as now, the only major airlines flying servicing PNG were the national airline, Air Niugini, and QANTAS from Australia. I discounted going via Australia as there would be plenty of time for that later and having looked at Air Niugini schedules I decided on a few days stopover in Manila as I knew return trips to Europe, work and holidays would take me to the other Air Niugini destinations later. The accountant in me also veered me towards Manila as well as it was Air Niugini's most expensive routing from PNG and I wasn't paying this time round!
I have absolutely no recollection of how I got to Manila (except that there was a refueling stop in the Middle East – Abu Dhabi as I recall). I do however have very clear recollections of Manila.
I recall being amazed at the beautiful sunset over Manila Bay (picture 2) and my guided tour of the Chinese Cemetery. Yes, dear reader the buildings you see in picture 3 are tombs and not houses and picture 4 if of a rather younger Wabat sitting at the bar inside one of the larger tombs. From what I read the cemetery is rather run down these days.
My biggest surprise, or was it shock, in Manila awaited me at the airport. Having made my way to the departure lounge I looked out the window and was confronted by a plane almost completely covered by a bird. This was my first sighting of an Air Niugini plane – and my first realization that I was really bound for the Pacific. I had, a year or two earlier, encountered planes covered in pictures in the Caribbean and considered them rather tacky. I felt the same about this one from PNG and welcomed myself to the developing world.
I soon learned that in PNG the tok pisin word for aeroplane was 'balus' which also meant pigeon (or bird more generally). Not so many years earlier and certainly within living memory the Highlands of Papua New Guinea were being explored by westerners. Given the terrain much of this exploration was done by overflying areas by plane. Locals, unfamiliar with such devices, likened them to birds and they were referred to as and the name stuck. This explains the consequential painting of much of the Air Niugini's fleet in a 'balus' livery. Picture one is a model in this livery.
Very shortly after my arrival Air Niugini decided to modernise itself and out went the balus livery and in came the rather more slick designs of later years, my favourite of which is depicted in picture 5 (circa 1990).
Today Air Nuigini flies to Tokyo, Hong Kong, Manila, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Honiara, Fiji and a number of ports in Australia – with Fiji and Kuala Lumpur not being serviced in my time there.
Current flight details can be found at www.airniugini.com.pg with additional flights to and from Australia at www.qantas.com . Be warned though that the Air Niugini – QANTAS monopoly have not partaken of the trend among airlines elsewhere to discount flights. Also English readers should be aware that when your bags get labeled POM this refers to the Port Moresby airport's designation code and is not an attempt to insult you!
In terms of quality both airlines are of a high quality and I have no problems recommending either.
Air Niugini has a significant network within Papua New Guinea. This I will comment on in a separate review.Related to:
- Historical Travel
Catch a Plane to Rabaul
The local carrier (Air Niugini) is the best way to get to Rabaul. It's about 1.5 hours from Port Moresby, and about 20 minutes from Kimbe Bay area.
Flights are scheduled daily, but you should try to book in advance - or at the very least, be aware of the time tables.Related to:

What the Hell is a River Truck?!
I thought it was hysterical to refer to these things as "river trucks" but the more we used them, the more I came to appreciate the name.
These flatbeds were motorized and offered the most room at the fastest speeds, affording us visitors a quick and easy (not to mention relatively dry) way to get around between villages.
They were a bit noisy so if you have any kind of earplugs, bring them along for the ride!Related to:

Getting Around the Karawari River
It always amazed me to see how well the locals can balance as they stand up in these narrow, carved out canoes.
Here two women are floating down the river, probably returning from another village.
Standard mode of transporation among the villages, where the canoes don't actually belong to any specific person, they're considered communal property of the village itself.Related to:

Getting to the Karawari Region (Lower Sepik)
Don't expect any real landing strips or even an airport for that matter.
When you're heading in and out of the Sepik Region, just be glad you're boarding a plane with two wings.
Note: rough landings ahead!!!!Related to:

When in the Highlands, go 4x4
The best way to get around the Highlands is by jeep. When I was in PNG, there were no rental operations in the Highlands as it was still quite undeveloped. Ambua Lodge supplied the jeep (and the guide) courtesy of Trans-Niugini Tours, which we gladly accepted.
When you're not hiking or exploring on foot, the way to go is by jeep (or Land Rover).Related to:

Getting around Port Moresby
One way to get around Port Moresby is by PMV. These are mini buses. Many are extremely unroadworthy. This is the main transportation used by the locals to get around. They are very cheap and shouldn't cost any more then maybe 50 Toia to get to a location within Port Moresby. When you need to get off, just call out for the driver to stop.
Something you must be aware of is that on occasion, PMV's are held up by armed raskals. This happens everywhere around Port Moresby but be particularly mindfull of this when travelling through the 2 Mile area. Also remember you're going to stand out on these buses and if you have valuables you risk loosing them. You probably won't see many (if any) foreigners getting about on PMV's.
I wouldn't use PMV's due to the high crime rate and the possibility of being held up. That's my personal choice. I don't believe it's worth the risk.
If you decide to travel on a PMV may I suggest you go with local friends, know the route of the PMV so you don't end up in a dangerous area and make sure you don't display any valuables.
Personal service
We were initially booked on an Airlink flight later on this morning, but there has been some sort of mess-up, so Bob, the owner of Trans Niugini, is flying in with his little Baron six-seater aircraft to take us to Mount Hagen.Related to:

Trans Niugini
Flight from Port Moresby to Tari:
We have a baggage allowance of 10 kg each, but the hotel did not have any scales we could check out our bags on this morning. We needn't have worried though; they are only 15 kg between them. We are certainly getting better at travelling light.
There is some confusion at the gate, as two flights are leaving at the same time from the same gate. They probably only have one door leading to the planes. Nobody is there to directs or greet us at the aircraft once we are out on the tarmac; we just have to guess that the plane with the door open is the one we are going on. It is a 40-seater Dash 8 and most of the passengers are locals. Personal hygiene seems to be rather lacking and a very unpleasant aroma is wafting through the aircraft. Still, it doesn't stop me from sleeping.Related to:

Flying into Lae
We flew in direct from Honolulu (12 hours in the air), or from Australia and from Singapore on one occassion. It was strange when leaving Port Moresby for Hawaii - because of the International Date Line, leaving PNG at 10:30 PM on Friday night and arriving in Honolulu at 10:30 AM on Friday morning! Air Niugini or Quantas were the usual airlines. I also took a lot of internal flights, some by F-28 jets, most by F-27 or Dash-7 turboprops and the odd small charter Twin Otter, etc. Photo taken of the Markam Valley as we approach a landing in Lae.Related to:

Land Cruiser in the Highlands
Although regular cars and trucks were OK for getting about - some parts of the highway system in the central part of the country required 4WD. There were several river fords when trying to drive overland to Madang. Photo of an Elcom Land Cruiser in the early morning hours - Kundiawa area of the Highlands. PS - we are on the correct side of the road, driving in PNG is on the left side in the British tradition and just like in Australia!Related to:

Any kind of transport is not easy in PNG but we found that you could hire canoes even motorised ones from the local people.
If you want to go further afield you can hire a small airplane to get you to the other Islands.
I came to Singapore or Hong...
I came to Singapore or Hong Kong and then had to use Air Niugini. Be prepared to inhale a strong dosis of disinfection spray shortly before landing. Be prepared to enter a country that is different to what you have experienced before.
Use the trucks called PMV. This is a Public Motor Vehicle and means a pick-up-car filled with 20 people, a coffe-body-car with 30 people or a light truck with up to 50 people. When there is rain, a canvas is provided. In Lae you can stay a Lutheran Mission Guest House. Have a voyage 1st class from Lae to Wewak with Lutheran Shipping and try to fly around with small airplanes from MAF (Mission Aviation Fellowship, friendly called Mission Air Force). From Wewak you can fly with Captain Cabbage to the Highlands, but I do not know, if he is still doing his business. Stay at Ralph Stuettgens's hideaway in Wewak, take the PMV to Angoram and take my best greetings to the place, where I have lived for more than 2 years, take a motorcanoe to Timbunke or even higher, buy an old canoe and let you move down the way to Angoram by the mighty old man Sepik. Enjoy the coconuts, pawpaws, watermelons and all the great kaikai from there. If you like prawns, you will find the greatest kindam you have ever seen. Or take the PMV at Wewak to Timbunke direct or further on. Do not miss to see several house Tambaran on the way and in that area. But take the canoe-trip down to Angoram and the house Tambaran. The Sepik area is full with great carvings, all different styles depending on the place. The mosqitos (natnat) are steady compagnions, so have a mosquitonet with you all the time. The natnat attack time is mainly from 6 to 7 pm and all night long.
I loved Papua New Guinea and the people and often think back to this beautiful 3 years in East Sepik and Enga-Province.
Travel to Papua New Guinea is...
Travel to Papua New Guinea is not east or cheap. The country's main airline, Air Niugini, maintains a reasonable monopoly on air travel from Port Moresby, although within the country there are numerous small carriers if you don't mind small aircraft.
Once in PNG, the best forms of transport are the small airlines, such as MBA (Milne Bay Air), Southwest, and many others. Road travel is usually safe for those who know the country, however tourists should be wary, as rascals often sieze opportunities to rob someone who does not know their way around. If you are to travel by Public Motor Vehicle, try to go in a group.

The Wellcome Collection, London
Monday 14 September 2015
The publication of the article 'The Geographies that Wound' (Chris Philo, 2005) brought attention to the interlaced geographies that create vulnerabilities for certain bodies, in certain places, over others. Ten years on, the workshop will revisit the theme of wounds and wounding with a specific focus on violence against women and girls (VAWG) – a human rights abuse often described as one of the starkest collective failures of the international community in the 21st century. While in geography the wounded body has been examined in relation to the geopolitics of conflict, asylum and garment-work (as notable but not exhaustive examples), the workshop looks to extend and deepen scholarship on precarious corporealities to lived experiences of VAWG. It also aims to counterbalance the onus in geography on war-related violence to generate greater awareness of the everyday spaces of VAWG within, but also critically beyond, (inter-) national landscapes of conflict and militarism. Bringing together geographers and inter-disciplinary speakers, the workshop aims to explore the characteristics and dynamics of the entangled spaces and scales that render women's and girls' bodies the place of physical and psychological harm. It will also consider the 'treatment' and healing of wounds through different means, a range of spaces and temporalities, and with varying outcomes.
To this end, papers might include, but are not limited to:
Everyday spaces of wounding – e.g. the home, cyber space etc.
Spaces of 'safety' and 'safe-making' –e.g. panic rooms, refuges, women's shelters, one-stop centres, schools, Safe Space benches and rooms etc.
Techniques of wounding – e.g. the tactics and motivations of individual and group perpetrators, the state.
The claiming, denial, ascription, enactment and rejection of responsibility and blame for the wound – e.g. victim-blaming.
The authority and regulation of looking at and reporting VAWG – e.g. body camera recording by police.
The temporality and matter of the body– e.g. changes in the fleshy materiality of the body, injuries, trauma and memory.
Memorializing victims of VAWG.
Mediatisation of VAWG.
Transnational movements, campaigns and platforms e.g. UN 'International Days', 1 Billion Rising etc.
Resistive bodies that speak and fight back.
Representing pain and the wound – e.g. Bringing private pain into public articulation through advocacy art and poetry.
Researching voices of the wounded – e.g. participatory action research, storytelling, and research ethics.
'Wound-managers' e.g. professional, lay, national, and local actors in the institutional realm
Legislating the wound e.g. international human rights law, national law, customary law.

Like many families, ours has a few Thanksgiving traditions of our own. And with Thanksgiving leftovers just about completely consumed, I am still thinking about Thanksgiving and the quality time I had a chance to spend with my family.
Archives for: November 2009
Here's some Cyber Monday goodness for you guys: Take $50 off a $250 purchase today at Bloomingdales.com!
Now, here's a larger alternative to the clutch that I'm quite warmed up to. Though the Lauren Merkin clutch is eponymous, the brand is playing with their comfort zone with this bag. Sure, this Lauren Merkin Tess Pebbled Bag is a tad different than what we're used to from the designer, but for those of your skeptics and nostalgics- look there, right in the center!
A week ago today, I leaked a teaser about a fabulous giveaway on the horizon. While I couldn't divulge which bag would be up for grabs, I did get a chance to offer a few hints.
Are there still people out there in Handbagland that are unsure of the idea of brights as neutrals? If so, listen carefully: it's a really, really good idea. I promise. Have I ever lead you astray before?
Can someone, ANYONE, explain to me why this pastel-potholder-looking abomination against fashion costs 1100 freaking dollars?
On this year's Cyber Monday, Net-A-Porter USA kicks off their end-of-season sales event. Save 40% and more on this season's favorite bags, shoes, clothing and accessories.
Stock at NAP usually goes faster than a Japanese bullet train, so do not hesitate and see if you can grab that fashion item that you've been refusing to pay full retail for all season.
Our next must shop Cyber Monday sale is being held at Singer 22. One of the main reasons I love Signer 22 is because of the amount of celebrity style products they have. If you want the hottest jeans, the tee-shirt every star is wearing, Singer 22 is not only the place to shop but also the place to help you ID it.
Cyber Monday is here! The Monday following Black Friday has been deemed Cyber Monday, where blowout sales happen online. Why do we love Cyber Monday? The name speaks for itself, it is cyber. No need to wait in long lines and camp out.
The thing that irritates me the most is when a bag manages to do one thing wrong that ruins the whole design for me. As they say in sports, sometimes a bag manages to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

One obvious and debated question on a lot of potential buyers' minds: okay, I'm dropping nearly two large on this here machine, but will the external optical drive even work with one of my other laptops and/or desktops? The answer: no. Regular USB simply doesn't support the power draw an optical drive needs, which was evidenced as plugged the SuperDrive into a stock MacBook Pro and it came up bupkis. It wouldn't even let us insert a disk without forcing it down the drive's maw. Of course, it worked just fine on the Air. Seriously though, how many machines do you have that need an external optical drive, anyway?
P.S. -For inquiring minds: yes, the USB port looks identical to your stock port. Apple is obviously just jamming some more amperage down the line.
P.P.S. -No, this won't work with a powered hub.

Stanford Robinson becomes third injured Indiana freshman
Indiana freshman Stanford Robinson is out indefinitely after hurting his right knee Friday night at IU's Hoosier Hysteria.
Robinson has already begun treatment/daily evaluation, according to an Indiana press release, and is now the third Indiana freshman in the last month to get injured. Troy Williams, a forward, hurt his right hand; center Luke Fischer did damage to his left shoulder (sprain). Both are on the shelf for the next couple of weeks.
According to 247 Sports, "team doctor and orthopedic surgeon Steve Ahlfeld assessed Robinson's injury after the scrimmage and found nothing damaged structurally, according to Crean. 'The early thought would be, from in there, that it's a bruise. I say that hopefully. I say that as what was said in there,' Crean said. Looked like everything was intact. I hope that that's what it continues to be. Dr. Ahlfeld was on it right away. … (Robinson) was in a lot of pain, but I mean, those hurt like that."
IU has a very solid freshman class that could have impact in keeping the Hoosiers in the top 25 nationally. Tom Crean's team still has question marks in the starting lineup, but if his freshmen are all healthy in time for the start of the season, the Hoosiers could have some depth as they rebuild following a 2012-13 of high expectations that ended with a 29-7 record and a loss in the Sweet 16 to Syracuse
IU starts its season Nov. 8 against Chicago State.

text: RA RA RIOTwith CAYUCAS Friday, October 4, 2013 at 8:00pm$15.0018+Venue: First AvenueMainroom Info TabsDetailsSyracuse-based rock group Ra Ra Riot's latest album, Beta Love, is steeped heavily in science fiction and futurist theories, with tales of robots, lives stranded in space and, on the song "Binary Mind," the merging of computers and human brains. In a new video for the track, the band members' disembodied heads playfully float and bob in a kaleidoscopic, digital landscape. Ra Ra Riot frontman Wes Miles says "Binary Mind" was one of the first cuts written for Beta Love and helped shape the entire album. "It's written from the perspective of a fictionalized version of futurist Ray Kurzweil," Miles tells us via email. "In the song, he longs for his deceased father, and is wishing to survive to the point when he can merge with a computer and become immortal by essentially uploading his consciousness into the Internet. But more importantly, he wants to recreate an avatar of his father whom he misses immensely. He is battling with time and his own deteriorating body which eventually he hopes he will cast away." Director Cole Hannan took a slightly different approach with the video for "Binary Mind." For textures, Hannan used still photos he took of places and objects while walking around New York City. He then shot video of the band members singing while wearing green screen bibs to isolate their heads. "I started thinking about the concept of singularity," he says in a note. "I ended up wanting to make a story about a planet being created, life on that planet popping up, that life assimilating with computers, and that new human-computer hybrid being able to, in a sense, meet it's maker." [NPR First Watch] PerformersPerformer: RA RA RIOT WEBSITEFACEBOOKTWITTERSOUNDCLOUDRa Ra Riot first met seven years ago while attending school in Syracuse, New York, and quickly graduated from basement rehearsals and student dance parties to blog buzz and press acclaim for their debut The Rhumb Line. After extensive touring for their meticulously recorded second record The Orchard and some membership changes, Ra Ra Riot decided to mix things up for their album Beta Love, leaving upstate New York for Sweet Tea, the Oxford, MS studio of producer Dennis Herring (Modest Mouse, Elvis Costello, Wavves). Read more about RA RA RIOT Special GuestsSpecial Guests: CAYUCAS WEBSITEFACEBOOKTWITTERSECRETLY CANADIANOn their last album, Bigfoot, Cayucas debuted in a way that defied their namesake, the sleepy seaside town of Cayucos, CA. As listeners fell in love with its shimmering west coast vibes, Zach Yudin watched his bedroom recording project transform into a band that toured the world almost overnight, all while his songs raced across the radio. But as Zach and his twin brother and bandmate, Ben, went in to create what would become their new album, what it all came back to was something more personal. Read more about CAYUCAS

I dont kow what the devastation would be like of a railgun impacting a building from space, dont know enough about it I admit, but can you imagine a strategic strike on several locations at the same time? with no radiactive fallout?
You wouldnt see it coming.
What good are nukes seriously? you cannot overtake the land as it is devasted and useless.....
Nukes are like gasoline engines.....very outdated and inefficient IMO.
