If anyone's interested in knowing about some great ways (and cheap too) to control your scent, I have a few!
First of all, I never buy commercial "hunting soap or scent spray" as it is in my opinion, not very effective or economical. Three years ago, I bought a gallon of scent free shampoo/body wash on ebay for around $10.00 or so. I wash everything in that soap, including me and my clothes! I'm still using that same gallon three years later. I'm here to tell you that this stuff is very effective in controlling scent! I'm mostly a ground hunter, so I really get "up close and personal" with some of the deer I hunt. Never a problem! I don't think you can buy a scent free bar of soap for half of that amount.
In between washes, after I used my ghillie suit or other clothing for hunting, I place my garments in a large plastic Tupperware and treat them with Natural Predator's Tru-Carbon. Add a bit of water, hang dry and you have a carbon suit that lasts for weeks. I do the whole thing over again when needed.
For body scent control around my hunting area, I sprinkle Tru-Carbon powder ( a different product made by NP) and on myself. In fact, you can use the powder as a face camo if you'd like. I also mix up a batch of distilled water, Hydrogen Peroxide, very small amount of scent free soap and spray that on anything that needs scent proofed.
These are all cheap and VERY effective ways to really control your scent while hunting. If it works for me on the ground, I'll guarantee it will work for you in a stand! I hope this info helps.

Thieves Target Wheels Of Expensive SUVs In Lincoln Park
Call it "The Case of the Disappearing Tires".
It seems there have been more reports of stolen SUV tires since we wrote about the incident reported by DNA Info where a high end SUV parked on a street in toney Lincoln Park had all four of its tires stolen last week–but was then ticketed for not moving for scheduled street cleaning.
New Parking App The Airbnb Of Parking Spaces
Does Chicago need yet another smartphone app for parking?
The answer apparently is yes for internet startup ParqEx, a service that allows parking space owners to rent their space while they're not there.
The service, much like how Airbnb connects property owners to find short term renters, helps drivers find affordable parking while the space owner is at work or out of town.
Founder Vivek Mehra told Crain's Chicago Business Robert Loerzel, "I live in downtown, and I always found when I left my parking spot and went to other locations, my spot was just sitting idle and doing nothing."
So far, after only a month, the service has 600 users.
Paper Chronicles Another Costly Parking Privatization Failure
Richard M. Daley's legacy continues to disintegrate at the hands of horrible parking privatization policy mistakes.
The most heralded is the torturously painful 2008 parking meter lease deal which, for a mere $1.3 billion dollars, Daley handed over control of the city's parking meter system to a private company which stands to reap multi-billion dollar profits over the 75 years of the contract.
A lesser known relative of the meter deal is the Aqua parking garage fiasco which the Sun-Times chronicled recently.
The story begins in 2006 when the city privatized four downtown parking garages under Grant Park and Millennium Park to Morgan Stanley for $563 million for 99 years. One of the main caveats is the city cannot license any new parking garages within a mile in any direction from those leased parking properties.
But in 2009, developers of the Aqua building were given the go ahead by the city to allow public parking in their nearly 1,300 space garage–despite the fact the garage was within the zone where new garages weren't allowed by the 2006 privatization deal.
Chicago's SpotHero Spotlighted On CNBC
CNBC took a test drive of SpotHero's smart phone app this week, with founder Mark Lawrence along for the ride.
The Chicago-based SpotHero has been growing quickly since Lawrence and co-founder Jeremy Smith began their venture less than five years ago. The company recently finished moving to a larger office space in River North–the third move in less than three years.
Politically Connected Profit From United Center Parking Scam
They don't pay rent or property taxes.
But three clout heavy parking lot companies have been operating parking lots on several city owned lots for the past 20 years and now City Hall wants to end the practice according to the Chicago Sun-times.
The city has erected barriers around at least one of the properties and is seeking to stop the three private companies from using the city's property for free.
Mayor Looks To Squeeze Motorists More In 2015 Budget
With 2015 budget hearings getting underway, early indications seem that Mayor Rahm Emanuel is looking to squeeze more money out of motorists.
Emanuel's proposed budget is looking to raise parking garage taxes by 2% next year from 20 to 22% during the week and from18 to 20% on weekends according to the Sun-Times.
The mayor hopes to raise an additional $10 million by the tax bump and then use the proceeds to hire 80 new employees to make up 18 crews to fill potholes on Chicago's streets. This past winter was the worse on record with an expected million plus potholes being filled by the end of the year and a record breaking number of pothole related vehicle damage claims filed as well.
It's Parking Over Planters In Portage Park
While so-called "people spots" have been popping up around the city over the past few years, residents and businesses in Portage Park are picking parking over planters.
According to DNA Info, the Northwest Side neighborhood had issues with a proposal to take parking spaces off the street and replace it with an on-street pedestrian friendly seating area surrounded by large planters where people could sit and relax at tables.
But while the concept has been popular in Lakeview, Andersonville and Kenwood, the idea got a chilly reception when it was unveiled in March as part of a larger $600,000 neighborhood improvement project.
Proponents claim the spots draw in more pedestrians and potential shoppers.
NerdWallet.com Names Chicago Worst Place To Park A Car
Get that big foam #1 finger out of storage Chicago–because NerdWallet.com says its the worst place in America to park a car.
The financial advise website used data from a handful of variables to come up with their rankings. The main factors were the average cost of daily parking and the rate of auto theft in each city.
According to NerdWallet.com, Chicago drivers pay an average $35 a day to park in a lot or garage and the motor vehicle theft per capita is 33% above the national average. When you factor in the city's dubious distinction of having the highest downtown meter rates in the U.S., Chicago picks up the gold medal for worst place to park a car.
Implausibly, Chicago somehow beat out cities like Oakland, San Francisco, New York and Boston for title of worst of the worst.
White Announces Black Friday Crackdown On Disability Parking
If you have some Black Friday shopping planned at a mall and see that alluring empty space reserved for handicapped drivers–don't even consider parking there.
That's because Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White is sending out stepped up enforcement to bust people who illegally park in these spots.
Illinois Secretary of State Police will be at Water Tower Place and Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg, as well as malls in Carbondale, Champaign, Peoria, Fairview Heights, Marion, Rockford and Springfield according to the Daily Herald.
Chicago's Worst Parking Spot
Parking spots on the streets of Lakeview are hard to come by.
So local residents have to consider if this spot is worth taking if its open when they drive up.
That's because your car will be covered with bird poop by the next morning if you make the decision to park there–lots of bird poop according to DNA Info. It's been happening for years according to residents.

The additives in question are DHA and ARA, two synthetic fatty acids that some studies suggest can help a baby's neural development. But according to USDA records, when the issue of including these synthetics in organic infant formulas came before the agency in 2006, staff members concluded that the fatty acids could not be added to organic baby formula because they are synthetics that are not on the standards board's approved list.
But according to the Post article, this decision was overruled by Barbara Robinson, a deputy USDA administrator who administers the agency's organics program. Apparently, Robinson made this decision after a telephone call and an e-mail exchange with William J. Friedman, a lawyer who represents the formula makers, claiming in an interview that she agreed with Friedman's argument that fatty acids were not permitted because of an "oversight."
However many organic advocates (myself included) beg to differ. The fatty acids (DHA and ARA) in baby formula are often produced using a potential neurotoxin known as hexane. That's likley one of the reasons that these two synthetics never made the OK list. And isn't the whole point of the organic certification to assure consumers that unapproved synthetics are not allowed in products bearing the organic label? If that's no longer the case, then I guess that black and white USDA certified organic label is no longer as black and white as it appears to be.

No one should be surprised that they haven't been able to get it back online in time though, It happens pretty much every time they do it! Gochild1020 well from what I remember most of the time they do these things they are never back online when they say they will be (here in the UK it may be different to you). All they do is keep pushing it back, first it was 4pm today, then 10pm, now tomorrow. I wouldn't be surprised if it was down until Sunday (although I seriously hope not). What annoys me most is how vague they are about what's actually happening, obviously it's OK if the network is down for a couple of hours but when it turns into days then they should at least explain what is going on. There are millions of gamers waiting to get online to play on a WEEKEND and yet Sony act as if nothing is wrong. #2.2 (Edited 1040d ago ) | Agree(3) | Disagree(14) | Report | Reply Godchild1020 + 1040d ago I usually don't have a problem connecting back after their maintenance has been done when they originally specify. Also remember there are people already connect to the PSN if they were signed on prior to the start of the maintenance. #2.2.1 Agree(2) | Disagree(0) | Report rainslacker + 1040d ago While I agree that companies should be a little more upfront on why a delay may happen, it's pretty much par for the course when it comes to stuff like this. Giving details just angers people, because most people act as if it should be simple, based on their limited knowledge of connecting an Ethernet plug into their computer, which does all the work for them. Hell just look at this thread or the other article about it. People act as if Sony doesn't care or isn't doing anything about it. I'm sure their engineers are working non-stop to get it fixed. These servers are extremely complex, utilizing multiple databases, and hundreds of servers that span globally to provide consumers with service. One unseen error can cause downtime like this, and sometimes the fix isn't something that can be thrown in at a whim. More often than not it requires finding where the error is, fixing it, then making sure it doesn't break something else. Maintenance suggests replacing broken servers or backing up data. Often times, it also includes updates to the software, and likely in this scenario, it's the new software which caused a problem. Unfortunately new software can't just be uploaded for the sake of a quick fix, as it could cause all sorts of unforeseen consequences or security issues. #2.2.2 Agree(5) | Disagree(0) | Report Blastoise + 1040d ago Annoying...But i'll get over it they best be fixing that terrible new store #3 (Edited 1040d ago ) | Agree(25) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply Game4life + 1040d ago i find it funny.

ATI Radeon 5670. Standard fare is there, USB ports and WiFi, but no clue as to processor / memory. On the aural side of things, there's a stereo option for plugging in an extension speaker, a 1/4-inch guitar jack, basic EQ knobs, and yet-to-be-finalized modeling software -- nothing trial, everything full version, assures the Orange rep. Once that's sorted, the estimated ship time is two to four months, with price unmentioned. Video presentation after the break.

The Catalunia region
This region to the South of Barcelona is known for its lively, cosmopolitan beach resorts. The town of Sitges is a favourite spot for residents of Barcelona to escape for weekend breaks. Originally a fishing town, Sitges was an artists' colony in the 1890s and is now a family resort which retains an air of its bohemian roots.
Further west, the towns are quieter, with excellent beaches around Torredembarra. Tarragona is a small city, with Roman relics and medieval architecture, it also has a long Rambla promenade, similar to that in Barcelona.
Only 1 hour from Barcelona and 15 minutes form Tarragona which is a beautiful historical city
You can fly to Barceloan or to Reus (20min from our place)
Torredembarra has a beautiful and cosy harbour with a lot of restaurants, a very large and beach.
Some nice shops with carfree-street. In the summer time almost every week another event and festival

Emma Watson was recently cast as Belle [1] in the live reimagining of Beauty and the Beast, and Wednesday is her 25th birthday. We're here to tell you what you should really already know: Emma is amazing. It's been more than a decade since we first laid eyes on her in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Since then, though, she's become so much more than just Hermione Granger. We've watched her grow into a beautiful woman who is bursting with talent, glowing with laughter, and totally an Ivy League graduate [2]. She might have ejected herself from the wizarding world, but there's only one word that perfectly captures Emma: magic. Keep reading to see all the reasons she's actually real-life magic.
Source: Getty / Frazer Harrison / BAFTA LA [3]
We first met Emma back in 2001.
When she perfectly played Hermione Granger.
Just look at her. Full of sass and wisdom.
And more sass.
Before long, she evolved from that frizzy-haired girl . . .
Into a beautiful young woman.
And we were all about it.
Even though at first we were like this.
But really, she smoldered harder than Robert Pattinson.
By the last of the Harry Potter movies, we were on team Emma forever.
Mostly because we just knew she was totally one of us.
She may as well be royalty, because she's a princess in our hearts.
She's real-life magic, too. Look at her charm that stray wisp of hair right back in its place.
Also, look at her walking on water like a goddess.
But our obsession is about more than just her effervescence, isn't it?
First of all, she's a badass.
She doesn't take any crap from anyone. Not even Seth Rogen.
We love her infectious laugh.
Seriously, you can't even hear it, and it's still infectious.
And her intellectual prowess.
We're not only talking about her Gatsby sweater, either. Let's not forget that Emma studied at Brown.
No, like, really. She's really smart.
Yeah, that's right. This girl is now an Ivy League graduate [4].
Source: Facebook user Emma Watson [5]
Don't forget about her wicked talents.
Not only is she a sensational painter, but she's also a certified yoga instructor [6].
And her goofy side.
Source: Marie Claire [8]
Also, her unabashed music tastes.
No matter how mainstream they are.
And then, in the wake of Harry Potter, we met a new Emma. She had spunk.
She rocked the fashion world.
Source: Teen Vogue [10]
She proved that she's not just a pretty face. She's high-fashion and edgy, too.
Source: Vogue [11]
She was fierce.
Source: Burberry [12]
And loved fashion as much as we loved her.
Source: Burberry [13]
She could pull off whatever she wanted. Even a full suit.
And double denim.
Source: Elle [14]

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- The Penny Hardaway/University of Memphis Athletic Hall of Fame will open Tuesday.
Named after the former Memphis basketball star, the hall of fame will include the photographs of more than 4,000 Tiger athletes for one of the three interactive databases.
Memorabilia was gathered from many of the more than 400 inductees in the M Club Hall of Fame, including the basketball jersey of the late Larry Finch.
Associate athletic director Bob Winn says Tiger fans will be surprised and pleased by some of the treasures that have been found.
Also collected was part of the goal post from a victory over Tennessee in 1996.

I hope that this can be uploaded as soon as possible because I want to downgrade my s III so bad! Thanks!

Pro-Obamacare ads were specifically created for social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter, where younger generations get their information.
The ads are selling health insurance by focusing on things like: sex, drinking and shots.
Got insurance?
These controversial pro-Obamacare ads play off the famous "Got Milk" campaign but focus on sex, birth control and drinking for the Millennial.
This 25 year old is the target audience.
The non-profit groups behind the campaign, Colorado consumer health initiative and progress now, say social media sites are how they're reaching those who lack insurance most, 19 to 34 year olds.
Their website now overwhelmed with traffic.
In Denver, more than 26 percent of this target audience lack insurance.
Dr. Bill Burman, director for Denver Public Health, says the ads are edgy but may offend.
The group behind the ads say they had a small budget to work with, only 5-thousand dollars.
They measure the campaigns success by website hits, "likes" on Facebook and Retweets.

NORTH KINGSTOWNŌĆöAs districts throughout the state install wireless internet in their schools, a growing number of residents in North Kingstown and other communities are asking questions about the health concerns regarding the technology. Last Thursday evening, a group of approximately 35 people gathered at the North Kingstown Community Center to hear Camilla Rees, an author of a number of books on electromagnetic health and the dangers of wireless technologies, such as wireless and cell phone use, to which we are exposed daily.
NORTH KINGSTOWNŌĆöAt a work session on Tuesday evening, North Kingstown Town Manager Michael Embury presented two preliminary budget proposals for FY 2014-15 to the town council. The first proposes a tax levy increase of 2.88 percent, or a tax rate of $16.08, while the second suggests a levy increase of 2.60 percent, or a tax rate of $19.02.
CLERMONT, Fla.ŌĆöJoshua Rayta, a South Kingstown man who allegedly robbed a Dollar Tree in January, was arrested by special agents of the U.S. Marshals Service on March 7 after fleeing the state.
North Kingstown Police Department, who had known Rayta fled to Florida for more than a month after robbing a Dollar Tree on Jan. 25, had an indictment returned in February from the Washington County Grand Jury for RaytaŌĆÖs arrest.
NORTH KINGSTOWNŌĆöOn Tuesday evening, the Quonset Development CorporationŌĆÖs Board of Directors unanimously approved a lease agreement for Greencore USA, a global convenience food manufacturer and distributor, to build a new, 107,000 sq. ft. facility. According to Liam McClennon, CEO at Greencore USA, over 400 jobs will be created by the time the facility is fully operational next April.
EAST GREENWICH ŌĆō Synonyms for ŌĆśtalentŌĆÖ include the words ŌĆśknow-how,ŌĆÖ ŌĆśgift,ŌĆÖ ŌĆśknack,ŌĆÖ ŌĆśinventiveness,ŌĆÖ and even ŌĆśfaculty.ŌĆÖ
The last synonym certainly applies to the East Greenwich High School Talent Show held in front of packed, student supported houses on March 14-15 as faculty ŌĆō including co-organizer/teacher Robert Petrucci and fellow teachers ŌĆō sang and played guitar side by side with some of the students they dutifully mentor.
EAST GREENWICH ŌĆö One local business narrowly avoided falling into a financial trap, and the owner urges other establishments to be cautious about suspicious phone calls about utility payments.
The morning of Feb. 26 was like any other day for Defin Rainho. Working in the back of his small deli on Main Street, Simon Says Cafe, preparing treats while his employees greeted and served customers, it seemed like a typical start to a Wednesday.
Then Rainho, who has overseen the operations of Simon Says for a decade, got a phone call from a person claiming to be a supervisor from National Grid.
A bill proposed by a local legislator urging national background checks for potential school bus company employees recently made progress through the State House.
Last Wednesday, the House Committee on Health, Education and Welfare (HCHEW) approved the legislature, House Bill H7219 Substitute A ŌĆō proposed by District 30 Representative Anthony Giarrusso (R-East Greenwich, West Greenwich) ŌĆō that requires individuals who are seeking employment with a private school or within a public school system in Rhode Island to be subjected to both a national and state criminal background checks.

Which College-Football Coaches Are the Biggest Chatterboxes?
Based on Media-Day Transcripts From Every Major-Conference, The Coaches Who Are the Most (and Least) Verbose
College-football media days in July signal the start of a new season. Only instead of high-scoring games and stunning upsets, fans are treated to platitudes and cautious optimism from their favorite coaches, who have made an art of talking a lot and saying little.
Although the Southeastern Conference holds most of the pre-eminent powers, no one does media day like the Pac-12's coaches. The Count analyzed how much coaches spoke at the media days of the five major conferences. With an average of 4,665 words per coach, the Pac-12 easily out-chitchatted its counterparts, with new Southern California coach Steve Sarkisian leading the way with 6,100.
Ignoring common words like prepositions and articles, "you" and "think" were the most common words uttered among all coaches, combining for 2.5% of all words said. Sixty-one coaches talked about their "guys" (882 mentions), but some coaches clearly have favorites: UCLA's Jim Mora said "Brett," referring to quarterback Brett Hundley, 32 times. By comparison, Florida State's Jimbo Fisher only said "Jameis" (as in Jameis Winston) three times.
Like Sarkisian, coaches with new gigs often ranked among the most chatty. New Penn State hire James Franklin led the Big Ten with 2,725 words and Charlie Strong, in his first year at Texas, talked the second-most in the Big 12.
Well-established coaches were pithier. Virginia Tech's Frank Beamer, the longest-tenured coach at football's top level, said the second-fewest words. Certainly, no coach was more succinct than Iowa's Kirk Ferentz, the Big Ten's longest-tenured coach, who said just 1,108 words, including "certainly" 15 times.

A new version 4.21 of the XPLAN_ASH utility is available for download. I publish this version because it will be used in the recent video tutorials explaining the Active Session History functionality of the script.
As usual the latest version can be downloaded here.
This is mainly a maintenance release that fixes some incompatibilities of the 4.2 version with less recent versions (10.2 and 184.108.40.206).
As an extra however, this version now differentiates between general CPU usage and in-memory CPU usage (similar to 188.8.131.52 Real-Time SQL Monitoring). This is not done in all possible sections of the output yet, but the most important ones are already covered.
I finally got around preparing another part of the XPLAN_ASH video tutorial.
This part is about the main funcationality of XPLAN_ASH: SQL statement execution analysis using Active Session History and Real-Time SQL Monitoring.
In this video tutorial I'll explain what the output of XPLAN_ASH is supposed to mean when using the Active Session History functionality of the script. Before diving into the details of the script output using sample reports I provide some overview and introduction in this part that hopefully makes it simpler to understand how the output is organized and what it is supposed to mean.
This is the initial, general introduction part. More parts to follow.
Now that I've shown in the previous post in general that sometimes Parallel Execution plans might end up with unnecessary BUFFER SORT operations, let's have a look what particular side effects are possible due to this.
What would you say if someone tells you that (s)he just did a simple, straightforward "SELECT * FROM TABLE" that took several minutes to execute without returning, only to then error out with "ORA-01652 unable to extend temp segment", and the TABLE in question is actually nothing but a simple, partitioned heap table, so no special tricks, no views, synonyms, VPD etc. involved, it's really just a plain simple table?
When using Parallel Execution, depending on the plan shape and the operations used, Oracle sometimes needs to turn non-blocking operations into blocking operations, which means in this case that the row source no longer passes its output data directly to the parent operation but buffers some data temporarily in PGA memory / TEMP. This is either accomplished via the special HASH JOIN BUFFERED operation, or simply by adding BUFFER SORT operations to the plan.The reason for such a behaviour in parallel plans is the limitation of Oracle Parallel Execution that allows only a single data redistribution to be active concurrently.
A new version 4.2 of the XPLAN_ASH utility is available for download.
As usual the latest version can be downloaded here.
There were no too significant changes in this release, mainly some new sections related to I/O figures were added.
One thing to note is that some of the sections in recent releases may require a linesize larger than 700, so the script's settings have been changed to 800. If you use corresponding settings for CMD.EXE under Windows for example you might have to adjust accordingly to prevent ugly line wrapping.
Here are the notes from the change log:
- New sections "Concurrent activity I/O Summary based on ASH" and "Concurrent activity I/O Summary per Instance based on ASH" to see the I/O activity summary for concurrent activity
There are at least three different ways how the Oracle optimizer can come up with a so called TEMP table transformation, that is materializing an intermediate result set:- As part of a star transformation the repeated access to dimensions can be materialized- As part of evaluating GROUPING SETs intermediate result sets can be materialized- Common Subquery/Table Expressions (CTE, WITH clause)Probably the most common usage of the materialization is in conjunction with the WITH clause.This is nothing new but since I came across this issue several times recently, here's a short demonstration and a reminder that this so called "TEMP Table Transformation" - at least in the context of the WITH clause - isn't really cost-based, in contrast to most other optimizer transformations nowadays - although the unnest transformation of subqueries also has a "no-brainer" variant where costing isn't considered.The logic simp

I did a quick update of my Oracle installation articles on Oracle Linux 7. The last time I ran through them was with the beta version OL7 and before the release of 188.8.131.52.
The installation process of 184.108.40.206 on the production release of Oracle Linux 7 hasn't changed since the beta. The installation of 18.104.22.168 on Oracle Linux 7 is a lot neater than the 18.104.22.168 installation. It's totally problem free for a basic installation.

It seemed like the entire town met at the Allyn Arena for breakfast on Sunday at the 43rd Annual Skaneateles Rotary Father's Day Pancake Breakfast. A warm, sunny morning was the backdrop as over 3,300 hungry dads and family members lined up and waited their turn for scrambled eggs, sausage and, of course, those tasty pancakes.
"It's our biggest fundraiser," said Rotary member and event chairman Robin Jowaisas. "Everybody comes out for this and attendance this year seems to be on par with last year which is good. The proceeds we raise here all go right back to the community and other Rotary worthy causes such as youth exchange student programs, the community band and American Legion."
The event ran from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and included 50-50 raffles and other charitable opportunities, which will add to the final total of money raised.
Over 10,000 pancakes were made from 500 pounds of pancake flour mix and topped with 360 bottles of maple syrup; 720 dozen eggs were scrambled along with almost 600 pounds of sausage. To wash it all down there was more than 300 gallons of orange juice, milk and coffee. It all was served by 150 volunteers made up of Rotary members, their friends and family. Scouts provided "trash patrol" to insure spilled food was immediately cleaned up and trash barrels emptied.
"This year we're doing something we haven't done in previous years," added Jowaisas. "We're going green. All of the broken eggshells will go to School House Farms in Borodino for composting, the empty plastic syrup bottle will all be recycled and the cups used for juice and coffee are all compostable."
As the morning progressed and area churches let out, the line-up for food extended out the door. To keep the hungry parents and children entertained while they waited, the Skaneateles Community Band played popular tunes to the delight of children, some of whom danced around the old skating rink floor.
"This is the most fun event we have in town, outside of Labor Day," said past Rotary President, Doug Rutan. "You worry about serving the people fast enough with an all-volunteer team who only do this once a year, you worry about running out of butter or eggs or anything; but then you look at how much fun everyone is having. It's a highly social event and the entire town is here. It's a like a big reunion and everybody knows everybody."

12/7/2011 -- Earthquake overview USA, EU, Asia -- 2 week outlook + links to EQ data sites
- Uploaded by Dutchsense on Dec 8, 2011
- Views: 294
December 7 2011 Today we saw a 6.1M earthquake along the coast of Chile .. as well as the series of 5.0M quake swarms around the circumference of the ENTIRE ring of fire (and adjacent plates). The time for vigilance is now -- always have an earthquake/emergency plan ready --- that is to say .. have a shelter in place plan... a LOCAL flee plan .. and a REGIONAL flee plan... this is in case your house or entire area become a hazard zone. Food, water, extra set of keys / have your BUG OUT BAG READY --- just like Grover from SESAME STREET told you to ! see that video here: www.youtube.com If you take this earthquake increase together with the large uptick in volcanic activity these past several months -- this shows the global scale of the "problem" we are dealing with. Volcanic unrest from Guatemala to the highlands of Mongolia.. and everywhere in between... this is NO EXAGGERATION... thus leading to increased earthquake activity from the crustal displacement. Speaking of "these past several months" --- on a different, more tangible note.. Sakurajima Volcano in Japan erupted TEN TIMES within 12 hours yesterday!! link to that video here: www.youtube.com Links to use for monitoring earthquakes in your particular area (most areas globally are covered): sincedutch.wordpress.com

Sir Robert and Alfred McAlpine, the two construction companies formed by members of the same family, will face each other in the High Court tomorrow in a battle over the family name.
The row centres on a decision by Alfred McAlpine, which is no longer family controlled, to drop the Alfred from its name as part of a rebranding exercise. Sir Robert McAlpine, which is still held by Sir Robert's descendants, is seeking a High Court injunction. The company claims that the decision represents a breach of an historic agreement that the two companies use their first names to prevent confusion.
Sir Robert, who left school aged 10 to work in the mines before becoming an apprentice bricklayer, founded his firm in 1857. He died in 1934, leaving a company whose projects range from the original 1923 Wembley Stadium to the Millennium Dome.
Sir Alfred, the fourth of his six sons, set up his business in the 1930s. However, the 10 descendants of Sir Robert who now own his business claim there was an informal agreement that the two companies would not tread on each other's toes and that both would use their first names to distinguish them. Sir Alfred died in 1944.
The two companies have co-operated on many contracts and are still building the second phase of the Eden Project in Cornwall together. However, there is now no family involvement in Alfred McAlpine, after the last family director left the board eight years ago.

The Dekendi were a humanoid species native to Dekendi III. They were quite involved in interplanetary politics by the mid-22nd century, and were even members of the Interspecies Medical Exchange.
The Dekendi had a very popular sport in which four people entered a circle filled with fargans, cow-like animals with humps. They then tossed melons back and forth using sticks with metal baskets at the end. Eventually, the fargans caught on, and begin trying to get the melons. (ENT: "Stigma")

Like it or not (and there's every reason to believe most Americans do like it) an all-hours marathon of shopping at big box stores, department stores and malls on Black Friday is as much of a Thanksgiving tradition as turkey, cranberries and pumpkin pie.
So, go ahead, join the scrum for the door-buster deals before they're all gone.
In the same way federal and state laws govern many other aspects of business in Minnesota, two sets of laws have something to say about employment practices when it comes to workers with disabilities.
The federal Americans with Disabilities Act (along with the companion ADA Amendments Act) and the Minnesota Human Rights Act (MHRA) each come into play.
If you're an employer who's considering hiring someone with a disability, you've got questions.
What did author Charles Dickens, scientist Charles Darwin and journalist Mike Wallace have in common?
All three of these successful people had disabilities. Dickens had epilepsy. Darwin had obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). And, Wallace suffered from depression.Read More...
Twenty-five years ago President George H.W. Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act, the landmark civil rights legislation aimed at bulldozing physical, employment and social barriers for tens of millions of people with disabilities and guaranteeing "fair and just access to the fruits of American life."
"Every man, woman and child with a disability can now pass through once-closed doors into a bright new era of equality, independence and freedom," said Bush shortly before he put his pen to the ADA, first comprehensive declaration of its kind in the world.Read More...
Whether you've been in manufacturing a couple days or a couple decades, you've already heard this pitch. And heard it repeatedly.
If you're not exporting to foreign markets, it's quite possible you're selling yourself and your company short.Read More...
When people think of jobs in the manufacturing industry, they typically focus on a short list of production occupations that center on metal, assembly or welding, for instance.
But with nearly 16 percent of jobs in southeast Minnesota being in manufacturing, there's a much wider variety of promising manufacturing careers in this extraordinarily diversified region.
While each region of the state has a strong and competitive core of manufacturing industries that provide high-paying jobs, economic growth and stability, no place has the sheer manufacturing size, muscle and punch of the Twin Cities Metropolitan area.
Overall, the seven-county Twin Cities metro region accounts for 53 percent of the state's total manufacturing employment, making it the industry's undisputed heavyweight champion.Read More...
Manufacturing continues to be a powerful economic engine in central Minnesota, driving profits, prosperity and job growth.
In the past year alone, manufacturers added nearly 1,300 new jobs, more than any other industry in the region, continuing a four-year growth trend that shows no signs of slowing.
After suffering major setbacks during the recession, manufacturing of transportation equipment is regaining momentum in northwest Minnesota, a region well known for deep expertise in the production of snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles, boats and other vehicles.
Home to some of the industry's most recognized brands (Arctic Cat, Polaris, Lund), the region has recaptured a significant portion of statewide employment in the transportation equipment sector.Read More...
