First cut of the season!
This is my first season getting into the lawn business, after researching all winter long. I have a website, and I have been passing out flyers and door hangers. It has been a slow start, and the weather has been terrible, but I finally picked up a few accounts and went out today for the first time. It felt good driving to my jobs and working on my own damn time, instead of working for some other jerk. It makes me realize that I made a good decision, and that this is what I really want to do. Being your own boss is the best job ever. Now I just need a few more accounts, so I can tell my actual boss from my retail job to shove it!

Clear vials
Kerr (Lancaster, PA) has introduced ScriptVision(TM) PP amber vials for prescription tablets. In sizes from 6 to 60 drams, they offer up to 30% greater transmission of light visible to the naked eye than comparable vials, says Kerr.
This allows contents to be easily rechecked without removing caps. The clarity of the new vials which come with matching CR caps is achieved with no loss in UV light protection.

This cask, from one of the true historical gems on the Queen of the Hebrides, is the perfect example of why I believe Bowmore should still be considered one of Scotland's best distilleries. The distillery itself is a working museum and the distillery bottlings are usually very safe and well crafted. After some "difficulty" at the distillery during the 80s and early 90s, speculation is that they were pushing the distillery to hard. Since then the Bowmore distillery has come roaring back producing some of the most consistently delicious juice we've tasted over the last several years. It's not in their nature to take risks or challenge the market place, but it's certainly in ours. Part of the reason we haven't been able to sell a Bowmore under the Faultline label yet is that when it's good, it's obvious. The bottlers are coveting their stocks and that means that highend product from the 70's which cost $300 two years ago, is going for $900+ today. We're not buying that stuff because there's just no way we could sell it all. Suppliers see those numbers, look at their young Bowmore stocks and salivate. We were incredibly lucky to find this medium aged Bowmore at this fabulous price. This is full force Bowmore in all its beautiful intensity. It's powerfully smoky and exotic. The label pays homage to a famous independently bottled Bowmore from the 1960s.

We are happy to keep bringing you Hugs Across America news, highlight activities of our volunteers and create a fun place for our visitors, supporters and friends of our mission.

Ten people were killed and 18 others hospitalized in the multi-vehicle accident that occurred in low visibility early Sunday just outside of Gainsville, Florida on I- 75. Pastor Jose Carmo Jr. wanted to be back in time for the suburban Atlanta church's Sunday morning service and led two vans up Interstate 75 toward Georgia. Both vans crashed in the highway's fog- and smoke-shrouded darkness near Gainesville.
Carmo, his wife and their oldest daughter were among five church members killed in the two deadly pileups along the always busy six-lane interstate. Their youngest daughter, 15 year old Lidiane, survived the crash but was in critical condition at a local hospital. Both daughters attended Sprayberry High School outside of Atlanta, Georgia. The high school counselor and Asst. Principal, Jeanne Walker, spoke of helping students and members of the small church where the family worshiped by providing 75 Hugs teddy bears to friends and family in the hope that this small gesture of care could ease their burden of grief.
My name is Allie and I'm 11 years old. My mom told me about you while watching TV. I've been looking for a charity to help since I was 8 or 9. Since I've been lucky enough to have a toy chest and shelves with teddy bears on them I thought I could take from my good fortune and give to someone in need.
Next year for school I need to volunteer in order to graduate, but I'd like to start now. I may be young but when I set my mind to something it gets done so I will be starting a Hugs chapter in my area of Colorado.
I will be doing this mainly on my own. My parents will help me some though.

Fire Marshal, James Penrose of the Port Washington Fire Dept. was very appreciative of the 130 teddies that were just sent to the Dept. from Hugs. They have 18 fire trucks and ambulances that respond to fires, medical emergencies, auto accidents and Carbon Monoxide alarm situations in a large suburban town outside of NYC. Fire Marshal Penrose spoke of two situations that he and his men responded to over the weekend. Both involved CO alarms. In one instance, 2 little girls one 2 yrs and the other 4yrs,. were asleep when the alarm went off. When the department got to the residence they had to wake the children and bring them to the ambulance for the EMS to check out. Both were very frightened and crying. Jim ran to the truck and got two bears for them to hug and "immediately the tears were turned to very big smiles". In the next CO call, "with 25 ppm of co in a 4 family house the child this time was 7yrs old and was suffering from multiple problems including brain damage from birth. He was outside running around uncontrollably because he was very scared from all that was going on. After I got my job done, again I ran back out to my truck and got a bear, this completely calmed him down. He even gave me a high five right before I left the scene". Hugs made a big difference and does so every day.
Teachers and classmates of slain eight-year old Kerra Wilson can now find comfort in the arms of a teddy bear. Nearly 500 stuffed animals were delivered to Mitchell Elementary School today for students and teachers. The toys packed the school's gym. Students were able to come and pick out their own stuffed animal after school today.
The Nebraska chapter of the group Hugs Across America collected the bears to help students cope with the loss of classmate Kerra Wilson. The third grader's body was found September 22nd in rural Sioux County after she was reported missing the previous day.
Kerra Wilson's family also received donated teddy bears.
Any extra toys will remain at Mitchell Elementary.

Very good, many choices for vegansPosted on 08 / 18 / 2014
I ate there with a group of people in August 2014, two omnivores, one vegetarian, and a vegan (me). The menu was varied, there were some vegan choices and they are also indicated as vegan. I took the vegan plate with Falafel, salads, and other tasty stuff I don't remember the name of. It was very tasty and not too expensive. I'd definitely recommend it to vegans to eat here.

Google has given roughly 200 people and organizations, including a British police unit, the ability to "flag" up to 20 YouTube videos at once to be reviewed for violating the site's guidelines.
The Financial Times last week reported that the U.K. Metropolitan Police's Counter Terrorism Internet Referral Unit has been using its "super flagger" authority to seek reviews – and removal – of videos it considers extremist.
The news sparked concern that Google lets the U.K. government censor videos that it doesn't like, and prompted Google to disclose more details about the program. Any user can ask for a video to reviewed. Participants in the super flagger program, begun as a pilot in 2012, can seek reviews of 20 videos at once.
A person familiar with the program said the vast majority of the 200 participants in the super flagger program are individuals who spend a lot of time flagging videos that may violate YouTube's community guidelines. Fewer than 10 participants are government agencies or non-governmental organizations such as anti-hate and child-safety groups, the person added. Read More »
China's Huawei Technologies Co., the world's second-largest supplier of telecommunications equipment, faces a harsh environment in the U.S., where it has been effectively shut out of the market due to national-security questions raised by local politicians.
But in the U.K., where Huawei already has a solid customer base, the situation is very different. U.K. Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne, who is in China this week on a five-day trip, is visiting Huawei's headquarters in the southern city of Shenzhen on Wednesday to meet with company founder and Chief Executive Ren Zhengfei.
"I have every confidence in Huawei's future in the U.K.," Mr. Ren said in a statement Wednesday. Huawei is hosting a delegation of U.K. technology companies at its headquarters during Mr. Osborne's visit, as part of its broader efforts to promote cooperation with the U.K. telecom sector.

This is proof shit just got real
Gangsta Tali is best Tali.

This is proof Shepard is gangsta ... and crazy.
Okay, now Ash looks even more like a Puerto Rican....

Sarah McInerney of the SYDNEY MORNING HERALD reports that all is not lost on the endorsement front for Tiger Woods regardless of his seemingly endless extramarital affairs.
Tag Heuer chief executive Jean-Christophe Babin told the SMH that though the watchmaker may have dropped Woods in America, his endorsement is still valuable in certain countries. In fact, Babin claims that Woods marketability has increased in China because of his infidelity.
Consequently, in the US, Woods's image has been removed from the company's advertising. However, it remains on the Tag Heuer website and, in China, use of it has been increased.
"In China conversely you have Tag Heuer with Tiger Woods everywhere because [with] the Chinese it rather increases their esteem," he said. "In China, by tradition, your success is measured by your number of mistresses."
Nuts? Not if you look at the actual sales figures for the Woods Tag Heuer watch after the scandal broke.
(Babin said the) company gained market share in December and sales of the one product Woods co-designed, the golf watch, had the highest sales ever in that month.
"I can tell you, on Tiger, there is zero damage," he said. "So I don't know how they calculated that [figure]. Yes we received some letters off angry people because we are siding by Tiger so the question is, were they Tag Heuer users or not? Most were not. Would they ever acquire Tag Heuer? Most not as well."
Meanwhile, Swiss watchmaking exports dropped by "22.3 per cent last year."
"Generally speaking most markets suffered last year," he said. "Some have bounced back already spectacularly. China is a good example."
The Tag Heuer chief also made it clear the company will not abandon Woods. In fact, the company's approach to Woods appears to be the contrary.
"As a global brand it would have been stupid to stop partnering with him because he still is and will remain for the next 10 years the best golfer ever, that's for sure," he said.
"He will resume golfing and when he will resume golfing it will be one of the biggest media [buzzes] ever."
Babin is right. I've said all along that some day Woods will not only reach his previous endorsement plateau, he will exceed it. Why? Because the average consumer is so hopelessly susceptible to suggestion.
As soon as the huge conglomos say the coast is clear, it will be business as usual for Woods off the course. Make that bigger than usual. As we've seen innumerable times, the older the brand, the more rules of society no longer matter. Woods' comeback will be the ultimate case study.
Cynical? Try empirical.

Iran may need only a month to produce enough weapons-grade uranium for a nuclear bomb, a U.S.-based anti-proliferation group says in a new assessment of Tehran's enrichment program. But that is only if the country were able to take the most extreme and direct enrichment path, says the Institute for Science and International Security in Washington. Under other scenarios, it would take significantly longer for Tehran to produce the material -- more than 11 months in one estimate. And that would still not give Iran a nuclear bomb. Turning enriched uranium into a usable weapon would take a great deal more time, the report suggests. The warning Thursday from ISIS was released as U.S. lawmakers consider legislation that could tighten sanctions on Iran until a deal is reached on the Middle Eastern country's nuclear program.
reply to post by buster2010
Get real.......Iran HAS the bomb........if they did not they would have been rubble by now.......
The foamflecked lips of the war hawks may spew their public threats and intimidations.......but in private the KNOW Iran can retaliate. with WMD.......
Attacking Iran is beyond the capability of the entire western world to pull off....that BULLDOG HAS RUBBER TEETH !
Dont you realise we are in the process of decline?
All of this stuff is just posturing to maintain the Zenith we have
descended from......
There will be NO iran attack...............ever

From Our Editors
As the summer sun dips lazily into the horizon, the air fills with an orchestra of buzzing go-karts and humming ziplines punctuated by floods of laughter. The revelry lasts into the night only to start anew the next morning, a cycle that will continue until Labor Day's arrival sends Kentucky Shores Family Fun Center's attractions into hibernation. Guests of all ages romp around the park's verdant grounds, orchestrating aquatic collisions in the bumper boats or hopping aboard a horse-drawn carriage for a trip back in time without the hassle of having to arm-wrestle your past self. The 36-hole mini golf course adds a touch of the majestic to putting outings thanks to its two waterfalls and stainless steel sculptures forged by renowned artist George Bandarra. Indoors, an arcade beckons guests to video games and rounds of skeeball, and a snack bar staves off hunger pangs with frozen treats and gooey pizzas.

As family members of those who died in the attacks launched on Sept. 11, 2001, we reflect on the recent MTA ruling to ban political advertisements on all MTA vehicles as an unfortunate sacrifice when a middle ground could have been forged.

NEW YORK, June 8, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Amidst growing doubts about its origins, the tragedy of September 11, 2001, continues to fuel the war on terror.
Meanwhile, disturbing evidence long suppressed in the media is surfacing through the 24-member 9/11 Consensus Panel's scientific review of official claims that 19 diminutive Muslim hijackers defeated America's defenses.…
NEW YORK, May 16, 2013 – America first learned of the 9/11 hijackings from Solicitor-General Ted Olson, who reported two calls from his wife, well-known CNN commentator Barbara Olson.
From American Airlines Flight 77, Barbara Olson fleshed out the drama of diminutive Muslim hijackers using knives and box-cutters to herd dozens of passengers to the rear of the plane.
These and other reported calls have now been examined by the 9/11 Consensus Panel of scientists, pilots, professors, attorneys, and journalists.…
Preface: This is not a partisan post. We have repeatedly documented that Obama is as bad or worse than the Bush administration.
In the run up to the Iraq war – and for several years thereafter – the program of torture carried out by the Bush administration was specifically specifically aimed at establishing a false justification for war. Dick Cheney is the guy who pushed for torture, pressured the Justice Department lawyers to write memos saying torture was legal, and made the pitch to Congress justifying torture.…

In the summer of 2001, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent Robert Wright, a counterterrorism expert from the Chicago office, made some startling claims about the Bureau in a written statement outlining the difficulties he had doing his job.

WASHINGTON — For more than a decade, questions have lingered about the possible role of the Saudi government in the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, even as the royal kingdom has made itself a crucial counterterrorism partner in the eyes of American diplomats.
Now, in sworn statements that seem likely to reignite the debate, two former senators who were privy to top secret information on the Saudis' activities say they believe that the Saudi government might have played a direct role in the terrorist attacks.…

One new entry describes how, from 1998, the US Secret Service included computer simulations of planes crashing into the White House in its training exercises. Another notable exercise was held early on the morning of September 11 in the White House Situation Room, based on the scenario of a terrorist bombing in the Middle East.…

A Lloyd's insurance syndicate has begun a landmark legal case against Saudi Arabia, accusing the kingdom of indirectly funding al-Qa'ida and demanding the repayment of £136m it paid out to victims of the 9/11 attacks.
The Brighton-based Lloyd's 3500 syndicate, which paid $215m compensation to companies and individuals involved, alleges that the oil-rich Middle Eastern superpower bears primary responsibility for the atrocity because al-Qa'ida was supported by banks and charities acting as "agents and alter egos" for the Saudi state.…

IF YOU THINK that on the 10th anniversary you know the whole story of 9/11 – and here I'm addressing conspiracy-minded "truthers" and the 13 percent who approved of the job Dick Cheney did as vice president – actually, you don't.
Time has upheld the broad story line of how hijackers loyal to Osama bin Laden hijacked four planes and killed nearly 3,000 people on Sept. 11, 2001 – claims about holograms being used to attack buildings instead of jetliners notwithstanding.…

New York (CNN) — When debris rained from the sky in lower Manhattan on September
11, 2001, the first responders to the terrorist attack did not turn away. They
rushed to the World Trade Center buildings while the world around them crumbled.
Yet now, after all the wreckage has been cleared and the rebuilding has begun,
their path is again blocked — not by flying chunks of smoldering rubble, but
by space constraints.…

WASHINGTON – The cops, firefighters and rescue workers who toiled at Ground
Zero will not be invited to take part in the 10th anniversary ceremony, a city
official told the Daily News Friday.
First responders will instead be asked back to the site at another day for
a separate commemorative ceremony, city officials said.
Space and security logistics were at the heart of the decision, those involved

Not that long ago, I wrote about the bond between the Daily News and its unique readership here in Philadelphia, which surveys have shown tend to be much more blue-collar and more African-American , among other things, than the typical American newspaper customer. The numbers and the anecdotal evidence from the streets of Philly also suggest that our readers are somewhat less likely to be the kind of person who toils in front of computer screen all day -- meaning that a rapid move away from the emphasis on the print edition would leave thousands of ink-only readers in the dust.
But the problem isn't completely unique to the City of Brotherly Love. Most major American cities have a "digital divide" -- a sizable gap between computer ownership and usage in working class and poorer urban neighborhoods and Internet activities out in the more affluent suburbs. But a problem -- like the digital divide -- also creates an opportunity. The arrival of much cheaper and more user friendly laptops called "netbooks" make it possible to kill two birds with one stone. A massive philanthropic efforts by large news organizations to bring these simpler computers into once-deprived households would create a bond of community between the media and its new, grateful online readers, and also make it easier for newsrooms to move more quickly away from the expensive print distribution model and into a bold new digital age.
The New York Times had a fascinating article this week about netbooks. It said, in part:

CF Peter Bourjos will go to the Angels spring training complex in Arizona next week to rehab his right wrist. Bourjos suffered a fracture in the wrist on June 29 when hit by a pitch from the Astros' Jordan Lyles. The Angels are hoping Bourjos can return soon after the All-Star break.
RHP Jerome Williams will start for the Angels on Saturday against the Red Sox. It comes on just two days' rest, as Williams lasted only 1 2/3 innings and 55 pitches Wednesday against the Cardinals. Williams is 0-1 with an 8.31 ERA in three career games (one start) vs. the Red Sox.
RF Josh Hamilton extended his hitting streak to 10 in a row with an infield single in the second inning Friday against the Red Sox. During the streak, Hamilton is hitting .382 (13-for-34).
LHP C.J. Wilson gave up three runs and 10 hits in 6 2/3 innings Friday against the Red Sox and got the loss. Only one of the runs he allowed was earned, as the Angels defense made two errors that led to two unearned runs. Wilson made 121 pitches, the second most he's made in a game this year (123 vs. Oakland on May 1).
RHP Tommy Hanson played catch Friday for the second time since he went on the disabled list with a strained right forearm. Hanson is eligible to come off the disabled list Saturday but likely will not be ready until after the All-Star break.

NYPD Liberates Zuccotti Park
After nearly sixty days, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg finally gave the NYPD authorization to clear Zuccotti Park and evict those who comprised Occupy Wall Street.
I suspect Bloomberg took his cue from cities like Oakland and Portland, Oregon which saw fit to clear their Occupy sites yesterday. I mean Bloomberg looks pretty bad if the likes of Jean Quan are more prepared to enforce law and order than he is.
As of this moment, the Occupy Boston camp at Dewey Square remains. This isn't totally surprising. The difference between Occupy Boston and some of the other Occupy movements is that Occupy Boston hasn't been quite as disruptive. While Dewey Square is situated in Boston's Financial District across the street from both the Federal Reserve and South Station, they aren't really impeding anybody from going to work nor are there nearby residents to be disturbed by their noise. You wouldn't know they were here unless you went looking for them.
Now don't get me wrong. There have been arrests for drug distribution, theft, vandalism, disorderly conduct/disturbing the peace, etc. Some of the trouble has happened outside Dewey Square. But I don't see Mayor Menino ordering the Boston PD to evict the occupiers. Not yet anyway. I have a feeling that will change when the weather gets really cold.
As for Occupy Wall Street, even though they are gone I have a strong feeling this won't be the last that we hear from them.
UPDATE: Apparently this isn't the last we'll hear from them. Brian Bolduc at NRO informs us that a judge has issued a restraining order halting any further evictions until a hearing which is scheduled to take place later this morning at 11:30 a.m. In the meantime, occupiers are being allowed back into Zuccotti Park.
UPDATE II: Late this afternoon, a judge upheld the City of New York's decision to shut down Occupy Wall Street. Zuccotti Park has been re-opened but sleeping bags and tents are not allowed. Finally, the park belongs to everybody, not just the protesters.
Well, better late than never. Allowing this to fester for nearly two months turned about to be a mistake. Of course, if Rudy Giuliani were Mayor they would not have spent one night down there.

Mon Dieu! Are the Germans starting to behave like the French?
Berlin's efforts to salvage carmaker Opel from the wreckage of U.S. auto giant General Motors pose as big a challenge to Europe's single market as French attempts earlier this year to tie loans to its carmakers to keeping jobs and factories in France.
from Luke Baker:
In for a penny, in for £175 billion
It may not be tax and spend exactly, but it's definitely tax and borrow.
For the best part of 12 years, Labour has pursued essentially conservative (with a small 'c') economic policies, steadily underburdening itself of the 'fiscally unreliable' tag that some earlier Labour administrations were (wrongly or rightly) saddled with.

Dissociative Identity Disorder
Although it is rare, you may be aware of a condition called dissociative identity disorder (DID). Maybe you read it in the news, or saw it in a movie or on a TV show. DID, once known as multiple personality disorder, is a disorder that involves a shift into two or more distinct identities that controls a person's behavior at different times.It is a serious psychiatric condition that requires long-term treatment. Take time and learn some facts of this sometimes controversial condition.
Causes and Risk FactorsThe common thread of people with DID is repetitive, prolonged trauma (physical and/or sexual abuse) which usually comes from a trusted caregiver. The risk of DID increases with abuse that is more severe and begins earlier in life. This history may make DID more likely than other psychiatric disorders with similar symptoms.Each situation is unique, but several factors other increase the chance of developing DID. Having a family history of DID or of seizure both increase the risk of developing this condition. DID is also more common in women, older adolescents, and young adults. Family dynamics and culture also contribute to DID risk. Despite these risk factors most children will not develop DID. At risk child must still have the ability to take their conflicting feelings and place them into different parts of their unconscious brain in order to cope with the ongoing trauma.Because there are many things that contribute to the cause of DID, the diagnosis can be a bit tricky.
DiagnosisOften, the original personality of a person with DID is unaware of the other distinct, alternative personalities. Control of the individual is switched to an alternative personality by triggers that are often related to the underlying trauma that caused the disorder. When control switches back to the original personality, some do not recall any of the time when they were under the control of one of the alternative personalities. Observations by friends, family, or doctors of the person may reveal:
- At least two or more distinct personalities existing within one person, with each personality being dominant (in control) at different times
- Behavior that varies depending on the personality that is dominant at any given time
- Forgetting large amounts of personal information, which is beyond typical forgetfulness
- Lapses in time with no memory

Food was a pleasant suprise. Staff was friendly.
Public Beach, be prepared to be solicited and be around conflict. Alcohol selection was very poor quality. Small Pool.
The food is great. The drinks are awesome. The staff was wonderful. The beach is unmatched. Steps away from Atlantis to hang out at night or get a day-pass for the waterpark. Great value.
The beach was beautiful and clean. The staff was very nice.
We stayed four nights and never could get into the steak restaurant.
being all inclusive and not worrying about how much stuff costs.
food was just ok. breakfast was good but lunch and dinner was just ok. Really no night life or activities.
The facilities are great. Nice pool, great beachfront access. The buffet was surprisingly good - not exactly fine dining, but really quality food. The staff was exceptionally nice as well. You can't find a better value (especially if you look at Riu vs Atlantis).
The rooms were dated. We were on the 2nd floor and had a terrible view (of a grey roof) from our balcony. Most rooms probably have a good view though. A hot tub would be nice as well!

Happy to get a last minute reservation. The beds were comfortable considering. It wasnt horrible, however I won't be booking it again.
The hotel needs updating. We had a very noisy dehumidifier in our room - In addition to the air conditioning unit made for quite a bit of white noise. A paint can was used as a doorstop to the outside elevator. The breakfast room was not kept clean. It was not restocked quickly and the garbage cans were overflowing. The sausage were literally floating in grease. My adult 20 something girls said they'd necer stay at a Dats Inn again.
It was a affordable alternative to some of the more expensive options on the island. Staff was nice. It was in a very central location to everywhere we went while visiting. Room was satisfactory/average however very clean. Also I was able to make last min reservations on a Fourth of July weekend! I would stay again..
Room was very average. Breakfast was a madhouse, and ran out very early.
I can't understand how anyone would rate this dump more than one star.
Get rid of the mold, clean the carpet, floors & windows
Air Conditioner air blowing on bed.
We enjoyed the continental breakfast, the ease of check in and the location of the hotel.
Not really. The drain in our shower was clogged with hair and therefore kept backing up when we showered.

1980s in Hong Kong
|This article is part of a series on the
|History of Hong Kong
|By topic
|Other Hong Kong topics
1980s in Hong Kong marks a period when the territory was known for its wealth and trademark lifestyle. Hong Kong would be recognised internationally for its politics, entertainment and skyrocketing real estate prices.
After being made a crown colony since 1843, the status of Hong Kong was changed effectively under the British Nationality Act 1981, which came into force on 1 January 1983. The Act renamed all existing British colonies to dependent territories. The renaming did not change how the government operated but it affected the nationality status of Hong Kong's then over 5 million inhabitants, most of whom were to become British Dependent Territory citizens – a status that could no longer be transmitted by descent.
Regardless of the competing claims for sovereignty, China's paramount leader Deng Xiaoping recognised that Hong Kong, with its free market economy, could not be assimilated into the People's Republic overnight and that any attempt to do so would not be in the interests of either. He advocated a more pragmatic approach known as the one country, two systems policy, in which Hong Kong (as well as Macau, and potentially also Taiwan) would be able to retain their economic systems within the PRC. On 19 December 1984, the Sino-British Joint Declaration on the Question of Hong Kong (The Joint Declaration) was signed between the PRC and UK governments. Under this agreement, Hong Kong would cease to be a British Dependent Territory on 1 July 1997 and would thenceforth be a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of the PRC. Citizens opposed to the handover led to the first wave of emigration.
Hong Kong's population topped five million just at the beginning of the 1980s, and rose at an annual average rate of 1.3% over the next ten years. The additional 700,000 residents raised the population to 5.73 million at the end of the decade. The population of females rose 1.5% per annum, faster than that for males (1.4% p.a.), although females would remain a minority until 1996.
The decade also saw the first signs of population ageing, as the number of residents under the age of 25 fell by 1.2%. Households shrank in size from an average of 4.01 occupants in 1982 (the earliest available data) to 3.67 at decade's end. The 1980s were also characterised by the lowest population increase due to net migration (30.1%), as opposed to natural expansion.[1]
Immigration and emigration[edit]
From 1978 to September 1980, nearly 23,000 illegal immigrants from Mainland China entered Hong Kong. The government abolished the "touch-base" policy on 23 October 1980. After this date, any illegal immigrants captured would be sent back to their originating countries immediately. There were public outcries in the early 1980s over decreasing wages due to the large influx of mainland immigrants raising supply against demand.[2]
On the other hand, citizens who were born in Hong Kong were beginning to migrate to the UK, USA and Canada in large numbers due to the uncertainty of the handover in 1997. From 1980 to 1986, an estimated 21,000 people left Hong Kong permanently every year. Beginning in 1987, the numbers rose sharply to 48,000 people a year.[3]
In the early 1980s, Hong Kong's education system could only accommodate 2% of the youth who wanted to seek higher education. It was not until 1989 that the government decided to expand the programs domestically. Prior to this, it was expected that higher education should be gained abroad.[4]
The mid-80s saw the popularising of the Walkman. It was one of the key factors in contributing to the rise of the cantopop culture. Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui and Alan Tam were among the biggest pop stars. Other shows related to Super Sentai and Transformers were translated and broadcast regularly. The franchising of toy stores such as Toys "R" Us flooded the malls of Hong Kong. Japanese import stores like Sogo in Causeway Bay also made Hello Kitty a cultural icon.
Domestic movies in the late 80s would put Hong Kong cinema on the international map. Jackie Chan was recognised for his acrobatic displays and his stunt team. Chow Yun-fat was known for his TV drama performances. His collaboration with John Woo set the de facto standard for triad films in A Better Tomorrow.
Natural disasters[edit]
In 1983, Typhoon Ellen came to Hong Kong and caused extensive damage, forcing the hoisting of Hurricane Signal No. 10.
In response to China's Tiananmen Square protests on 27 May 1989, over 300,000 people gathered at Victoria park for a gathering called "Democratic songs dedicated for China". Many famous Hong Kong and Taiwan artists performed and expressed their support for the students in Beijing.
In the early 1980s, younger Hong Kong workers began avoiding the manufacturing industry entirely. Hong Kong's on-going evolution away from manufacturing picked up steam during the decade, as production's share of the economy fell from 22.8% in 1980 to 16.7% ten years later. Replacing it was a greater reliance on services, which rose from 68.3% to 75.4% of GDP. The fastest growing sectors were foreign trade, logistics and communications and general personal and community services.[1] The lack of investment in domestic industry, along with China's economic reform, began opening up manufacturing to the mainland. Middle-aged men and women who had spent decades in manufacturing were suddenly left with no place to go.[5]
Real Estate[edit]
In 1960, the University of Hong Kong and Hong Kong Technical College were one of the first schools to offer real estate education, but the curriculum was considered a sub program. In 1981, the University of Hong Kong became the first institution to be accredited by the RICS. It was the first step in connecting real estate education and the industry itself.[6] By 1983, 61% of capital investments belonged to the real estate sector. The amount of money entering the communities for infrastructure expenses in the 1980s eclipsed the sum of all real estate investments from 1940 to 1979.[7] An up-to-date understanding of the industry along with the high-density population provided many with the opportunity to capitalise on realty sales. Areas like Lan Kwai Fong were improving at the time and became an "alternative" or "open" avenue to attract people who wanted things to be different.[8] If construction was not open before, many areas found themselves redeveloping.
The lack of foreign-exchange control, and low tax, contributed to the competitiveness of Hong Kong's economy. Though a floating rate, coupled with panic about intensified political talk of the handover, sent consumer confidence to an all-time low, causing Black Saturday in 1983. The end result was that Hong Kong adopted a linked exchange rate system. The exchange rate between Hong Kong dollar and United States dollar was fixed at HKD $7.8 = US$1. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority's exchange fund was responsible for keeping the market rate stable.[9] In the short period from just a decade previously, inflation would also increase from 5% in the 1970s to 12.7% by 1983.[10]

I made cucumber pickles with a variety of herb options. I am/was attempting a wild yeast, non-vinegar pickle (it worked last year...) This year though, there are varying degrees of a bluish scum on the top and cloudy liquids. The question is where is the line of 'skunked' and should be ditched versus skimmable and savable.
Out of 6 jars, two are clear, two murky, and two substantially 'icky' - interestingly (or importantly?) the breakdown was by herb additive. All grown in my garden. The clear was tarragon/garlic, the murky was thyme/pepper/garlic (light), and the icky was sage/rosemary/garlic/red pepper.
Amanda is a co-founder of Food52.
I'd only eat the clear one -- better-safe-than-sorry approach.
i had the same problems with my naturally fermented pickles...really disappointing. Don't think i'll be trying it again.
I've read that both Dill and Garlic have natural antibiotic properties -- that may be helping keep some of the simpler ones clear (if it's a proportion thing).

New Life for Us All
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
A couple from Chicago was planning a vacation to a warmer climate, but the wife couldn't join her husband until the next day, because she was on a business trip. Her husband scribbled down her e-mail address on a little scrap of paper, but upon his arrival, he discovered that he had lost it. He wanted to send off a quick e-mail to let her know he had arrived safely. So trying his best to remember her e-mail address, he composed a brief message and sent it off.
Unfortunately, his e-mail did not reach his wife. Instead, it went to a grieving widow who had just lost her husband, a preacher, the day before. She had gone to her computer and was checking her e-mail when she let out a loud shriek and fainted on the spot. Her family came rushing in to see what was on the screen: "Dearest wife, I just checked in. Everything is prepared for your arrival tomorrow. P. S.: It sure is hot down here!"
The good news is that because of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we don't have to be afraid of that real place that is hot down there. In fact, we don't even have to fear death. Because Christ died and rose again from the dead, we know that for us as believers, there is life beyond the grave.
If that were all the resurrection did for us, it would be worth the price of the ticket. Of course, we didn't buy the ticket. Christ did. But if all that Christianity offered was the hope of life beyond the grave, it still would be worth it to be a Christian.
But there is a whole lot more that the resurrection has for us. Our risen Lord will give us a new heart and put a new spirit within us (see Ezekiel 36:26). He will give us new knowledge, new comfort, new peace, and a new life in Him.

Mowgli by MonicaMcClainWatch
©2014-2016 MonicaMcClain
Here it is, the final piece in my Jungle Book series. I've been working on this series for just about a year, and it feels so strange to be finished with it! I certainly had a lot of fun interpreting the characters from one of my favorite books. Thank you all for your encouragement, critiques, and discussions on this series!
You can find more info soon on my Tumblr.
Whoa you brought the jungle out in this picture!When I think of mowgli I think of the relatively cleaner version from the disney film. This one has a more realism to it. Would child who spent most of his life in a wolf pack grow up unscared?Hell no!This version mowgli looks pretty badass too like theirs a bit of tarzan in him.
Thanks so much! That is indeed what I was thinking when I decided to make him a little more "feral" looking. The Mowgli of the written story always had difficulty choosing between human society and jungle society, so I wanted to make him represent a little of both.
Fantastic! A wonderful conclusion for sure. I like how he is scratched and dirty and feral looking. And of course, Mowgli would have the fire!
Thank you! I wanted to include a little bit of "jungle" and a little bit of "man" since he is often pulled between the two.
Doh! I feel like I should have guessed this one.
Sad to see it end, great to see it completed!

Tightrope Walkin'
Life's a tightrope,
And you're standing on one toe.
Don't let the fear take hold of you,
You're bound to fall to the ground below.
Pick yourself up again,
Over the edge again,
Hold on to your hopes and dreams.
When all seems to be lost,
Don't start to count the costs,
Just go and begin again.
Tight rope walker, tight rope walker.
The only thing I'm sure of is, to have no fear at all,
Just go, keep on going on.
And the only thing that's certain is sometimes you're bound to fall,
Just go, keep on going on.
Tightrope-Alex Clare

A GROUP OF TEN technology companies with government contracts significantly underpay their corporation tax, according to a Conservative MP.
Charlie Elphicke, MP for Dover and former tax lawyer with law firm Hunton & Williams where he was partner, used parliamentary privilege to raise the issue of "tax avoidance on an industrial scale".
Further reading
In Commons debate, he said the group – which includes IBM, Microsoft, Symantec, Dell, Oracle and CSC Computer Sciences – paid a total of £78m to HM Revenue & Customs on earnings of £17.5bn. According to Elphicke, the firms should have paid £879m, meaning there is a shortfall of more than £800m.
The companies all hold government contracts through which they receive large sums of public money – at least £1.8bn in revenue last year, according to Elphicke.
There is no suggestion that what any of the companies have done in reducing their bills is illegal, but Elphicke branded the situation "irresponsible, unethical and unacceptable" in comments made to The Times.
"When awarding government contracts, we should weigh the amount of taxpayers' money shelled out against the amount of corporation tax paid by government contractors. This would help level out the playing field between tax-paying UK companies and tax-avoiding companies from overseas," he added.
Elphicke's comments follow last year's public distaste over corporate tax avoidance after several companies including Amazon, Google and Starbucks paid little or no corporation tax. The coffee house recently attempted to placate its critics by offering to pay £20m to HMRC over this year and next.

Besides frame geometry, how is a road bike different from a touring bike? I don't plan to hang fenders or racks at this point.
Besides frame geometry, how is a road bike different from a touring bike? I don't plan to hang fenders or racks at this point.
Touring bikes are often built with heavier and stiffer tubing than road bikes. To support the loads at their contact points and simultaneously to function well as a bicycle, extra rigidity is needed. Both Reynolds and Columbus had special touring grades of the 531 (Super Tourist) and Cyclex (SP) tubes.
Touring bikes are usually equipped with triple-chainring cranksets and compatible shifters and derailleurs... the extra chainring is usually a 'granny' gear for easier climbing up large hills, especially if you are carrying extra equipment on the bike. Road bikes often only hafve two chainrings and the smaller of the two is a larger gear than the smallest on a triple.
Touring bikes also often have a wider range of cogs on the back, and a long-cage rear derailleur to accomodate. Road bikes usually have a tighter gear cluster and a short cage derailleur that can not accomodate large cogs.
Touring bikes have more room for wider tires for a smoother ride, and room for fenders. Many road bikes (especially bikes made in the last 5 - 10 years AFAIK) do not have room for fenders with anything but the skinniest tires. Most modern road bikes can only fit tires up to 25mm wide (maybe 28mm).
Also, touring bikes often have a slightly different cockpit layout (height and reach to bars), although this is generally a matter of personal preference.
Finally, touring bikes are often made of heavier tubes to make the bike carry loads better and to ensure durability.
If you like your road bike and there is no specific reason why it won't work (like you want fenders or wide tires) then there is no reason why you cannot use a road bike for all your riding.
What, exactly, do you mean by "touring"?
I'll tell you one thing - if you put a "touring" load on a road bike with a normal (racing) geometry, you'll be in for a very exciting ride!
Touring bikes also often have cantilever brakes for better stopping power with the extra weight.
Mes compaingnons cui j'amoie et cui j'aim,... Me di, chanson.
I have an old Nishiki frame with whachmacalits for attaching fenders but it is a road bike frame. The thing is heavy as compared to my road bike frame but I have no doubt it'll give me the smooth ride I seek. I think what I meant about building it up as a touring is that I want to put a large cog in the rear, something like a 11/34 cassette and a triple up front. I didn't know what else it would require in order to have that sort of set up.
I've been intrigued with this set up ever since I perused the touring bike gallery in that forum. Plus, when the baby is big enough, I want to haul him around in the Burley. I attached it onto my road bike and it felt squirrley.
I have an old racing frame that I cash/credit card toured on with no problems. I never used any racks or fenders either. But there is fenders on the market for racing bikes. All I used was my seat bag to carry tools and spare stuff (ask if your wondering what stuff); and a large handlebar bag for a jacket, set of jersey and shorts, food etc. The bike already had two water bottle brackets so I bought a clamp on Minoura BH95X bracket that I can mount to the handlebar for a third bottle: http://www.minourausa.com/english/accessory-e.html#.
Now I have a touring bike to do loaded touring with, but credit card touring is a blast.
What the heck is credit card touring?
Thanks. Sounds like my kind of touring.
I really like the bike and I ride it a lot. The thing that I miss are eyelets for a luggage rack. I frequently find myself wishing that I had one for clothes that I want to shed or to carry something that I'd like to buy along the way. I tried installing one using 2 sets of P clamps but I wasn't satisfied with the lack of stability.
You can put wide-range gears on nearly any road bike, at least I can't think of a reason why not, right now. You will probably need to replace the crank and derailleurs, but that's not a problem, just a cost.
If you want a handlebar bag or not, that is a break point. Road frames are generally designed to be stable and maneuverable without any added weight on the handlebars, beyond a light and computer and such. Long-distance riders often want to put a handlebar bag on, to be able to reach a map, a munchie, warm gloves, or what-not without stopping. Doing this can make a bike shimmy. To design a bike for this purpose, the fork needs more rake, which creates less trail, and reduces this tendency.
Bikes for this kind of riding are usually lightweight, but probably don't go crazy with weight reduction. Reliability and on-road servicability are important.
Road Fan
Just noticed, "grouch" is a last name! So is "fan", for that matter.
10 to maybe even 15 pounds on a handlebar is nothing for a bike to handle.
So I agree with you, my statement is not necessarily correct. Thanks!
I didn't say anything about chainstay length.
Glad your 660 works for you, froze.

Foreign Troops Should Leave Somalia
By Andrew Bast
Somalia has become synonymous with the term "failed state." Even now, after nearly two decades of civil war and a dismaying string of failed foreign interventions, the end of the country's long humanitarian catastrophe seems no closer. Recently, Western security experts have begun to warn that the capital city, Mogadishu, could be overrun by Al-Shabab, an armed Islamic extremist group the U.S. government says has ties to Al Qaeda. In the past two months, more than 200,000 people have fled fighting between Al-Shabab and a 4,300-strong African Union peacekeeping force. Last week Al-Shabab gunmen overran a U.N. compound in the city of Baidoa, expelling the international agencies there, including aid workers. Alarmed, Washington recently sent $5 million worth of munitions to help the badly outmatched blue helmets. Now various groups inside and outside the country are calling for more foreign assistance.
But the last thing Somalia needs is additional outside interference. Instead, the world should pull out its forces. Again and again, foreign intervention there has only made conditions worse. Ethiopia's three-year war with Somalia's insurgents, which ended in January, managed only to empower the hardline Islamists. Likewise, the presence of the African Union force has made the insurgents seem stronger and more unified. (Meanwhile, the U.N.-approved transitional government the AU is meant to support remains largely impotent and controls just a few streets in Mogadishu.) To fight the foreigners, Al-Shabab has allied itself with another insurgent group, Hizbul Islam, despite the fact that the two have little in common. "The foreign military intervention is a unifying force for the extremists," says Council on Foreign Relations fellow Bronwyn Bruton, author of an upcoming report on the political dynamics in Somalia. The country has even become a prime destination for Qaeda fighters from Pakistan, who are attracted by the chance to wage international jihad there. That makes a long-term political solution much more difficult to achieve.
Hardhearted as it seems, the smartest response might be to let Al-Shabab try to seize Mogadishu. There are several reasons to think this could help. For one, the Islamist group is far from monolithic, and could well splinter without a foreign enemy to rally against. Second, many of Somalia's factions—like the Abgal businessmen who run Mogadishu's port—are well armed and unlikely to be steamrolled by religious fanatics. Third, should they somehow manage to actually seize power, Al-Shabab would then face the immense challenge of governing. "Somalis don't like harsh religious ideology," Bruton says, and would thus likely resist Taliban-like rule. Foreign armies can still help—but only once Al-Shabab has crumbled on its own. And if outsiders return, it should be to rebuild, not to fight.
