Thailand Village Renaming Celebration Event
On February 8-9, The Asia Foundation, in cooperation with local partners, the Center for Conservation for Local Culture and Environment in Southern Border Provinces of Thailand (PUSTA), and the Southern Border Provinces Administrative Center (SBPAC) organized the Village Renaming Celebration Event. In Mengabang, provincial governors, district chiefs, and representatives of the 10 villages attended the celebration event to mark the culmination of a 15-month project that PUSTA and the Foundation piloted in 10 villages across southern Thailand to preserve and promote the unique identity, language, and culture of the Malay-Muslim community. For decades, the community has called for the renaming of villages in a manner that reflects the identity of the region.

Wine and Geography
One of the most enjoyable projects we've tackled this year is the reorganization of our Italian and French sections to more sensibly reflect the laws and labels of those countries and our selections. The foundation of those laws and labels, and therefore our display of the wines, is geography – namely where the grapes were grown. To be succinct, dirt matters.
Grapes, even or particularly the same grape varietal, grown in different places will produce wines that taste different from each other. I have yet to meet someone who, upon tasting a wine, says "mmm, it tastes like squished grapes" but I've tasted with many who say "hmm, definitely Old World, more Meursault than Chassagne." Grapes can reflect where they're grown far more distinctly than any fruit: a peach will taste like a peach wherever it will achieve ripeness, but Chardonnay grapes grown in Meursault will taste different than the ones grown and squished in Chassagne Montrachet. Or Russian River Valley, or Arroyo Grande, or Margaret River, or Casablanca Valley.
The United States is making progress in this area with AVAs that are smaller and more wineries being more specific about vineyards but the process here is really just starting. Italy and France are two of the oldest wine-growing regions in the world and relatively long ago codified the production and labeling of wine and based both things on where the grapes were grown. And after much planning and some effort, so do our shelves. So please stop by and peruse our Italian and French wines arranged, as they should be, according to the geography of those two countries. In looking through some of our French selections, as you walk up the aisle from the Côtes du Rhône in one corner to the Chablis at the end of the section, you're figuratively taking a stroll through the vineyards of eastern France. In Italy, you'll go from the islands of Sardinia & Sicily and walk all the way north to the Alto Adige.
Winding your way to and up Italy, I would suggest stopping to taste some squished grapes at the following points (general region included as an aid for both of us):
Sardegna – 2009 Argiolas Isola dei Nuraghi "Perderas" – $12.99
Puglia – 2011 Masseria Li Veli Valle d'Itria "Verdeca" – $17.99
Puglia – 2011 Monaci Rosato Salento "Kreos" – $12.99
Marche – 2011 Collestefano Verdicchio di Metalica – $14.99
Tuscany – 2006 Sassetti Brunello di Montalcino "Pertimali" – $59.99
Tuscany – 2006 Ciacci Piccolomini Brunello di Montalcino "Pianrosso" – $54.99
Tuscany – 2007 Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino – $64.99
Tuscany – 2007 Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino "Altero" – $79.99
Piemonte – 2009 Einaudi Dolcetto di Dogliani – $14.99
Piemonte – 2007 Sottimano Barbaresco "Curra" – $59.99
Piemonte – 2004 Damilano Barolo "Cannubi" – $79.99
Venezia Giulia – 2010 Jermann Ribolla Gialla "Vinnae" – $19.99
Alto Adige – 2010 Elena Walch Lagrein – $14.99
From there, it's a few steps to start a trip through France (these 'regions' are more specific, for help check out the maps at the top of our shelves or ask us):
2010 Le Colombier Vacqueyras "Vieilles Vignes" – $19.99
2010 Le Colombier Vacqueyras "Cuvee G" – $21.99
2009 Vieux Telegraphe Chateauneuf du Pape – $64.99
2010 Pierre Usseglio Chateauneuf du Pape "Cuvee de mon Aieul" – $99.99
2009 Clape Cornas – $129.99
2009 Allemand Cornas "Reynard" – $99.99
2009 Allemand Cornas "Chaillot" – $84.99
2009 Ferret Pouilly-Fuisse – $29.99
2009 Michel Juillot Mercurey "Les Vignes de Maillonge" – $27.99
2010 Jean-Baptiste Ponsot Rully "Montpalais" – $21.99
2010 Seguinot-Bordet Chablis – $19.99
2010 Malandes Chablis "Vaudesir" - $49.99
2010 Fevre Chablis "Les CLos" – $89.99
This last trio of Chardonnay-based wines are a delicious example of how much dirt matters and how there can be a quality-based scale for wines produced from the same general area. They are, in order, a "village" wine from the AOC of Chablis, a Premier Cru and a Grand Cru. These gradations are based on hundreds of years of grapes being grown in the dirt involved, with some relatively minor influences from the weather and producers. A discussion of those nitty-gritty differences in dirt has more to do with geology, and therefore deserving of its own post but start here with the geography and see if one level wants to make you climb to the next. Unless of course you'd prefer to start at the top!

Review Content
No matter the bumpy ride, Hells Highway is exciting and stimulating. Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway is a great mixture of first person shooting and squad control. The graphics lend a detailed and vibrant environment that makes the battles edgy. Add in the characters and the incredible action sequences and the result is a truly great game to watch and experience. The downsides can be ignored for they are just dealing with some irregularities in textures and the story line is a bit recycled.
The Brothers in Arms series are really distinctive in the world of WWII first shooter games. The third installment, Hells Highway, sticks close to the formula that made the first two great games. The gamer gets to command the squads in the middle of a territory controlled by the dreaded Nazis and thanks to fantastic graphics, the action that takes place is incredibly astounding. The character being played is none other than Sergeant Baker and his squad is a ragtag group of characters that are both endearing and tough at the same time. Although the storyline does not really follow through, it doesnt really matter for the game is as intense as it is incredibly thrilling and the gamer is sure to forget the little hiccups for it does not do anything to the gameplay in any way.
The gameplay includes developing relationships between squad members and the management of same squad. It is very important to consider the individual differences to get the full potential out of these men under the command. There is a lot of strategy and killing involved, just like any first shooter games, but the atmosphere changes at the loss of any or one of the men. In the end, it is not only a truly compelling first shooter game, but it can be an emotional rollercoaster not found in others of the genre.
Although many would say that the squad combat plays too strong a role in the game, this is just part of the disparity that makes the whole thing work. There are excesses here and there and it can be surprisingly disgusting at times but it is way too cool to despair over.
There are individual or single player modes but there is also the multiplayer mode that is interesting and antes up the gameplay factor. There are twists in every turn and it just continues to surprise the gamer every single time. It does not really matter that the storyline is a bit spotty, no one really cares. What is important is that the game is enough to capture the imagination and the action is non-stop.
The character play and the relationship of the squad is the driving force that keeps the gamer playing and emotionally twisted into knots. It is a powerful game in that at the end of it, not only with the developing relationships flourishing but the constant challenges thrown the squads way. Ultimately, this is a great game, first-shooter and relationships aside. And it totally rocks that the graphics and narrative are excellently developed and pursued.

"entry level Dymo LabelWriters"
Labelwriter pricing : USA/Canada : Australia
LabelWriter 310The Dymo LabelWriter 310 (LW310) is what we call the 'entry level' model, and we call it that for one reason only. It prints just as fast as the Dymo LabelWriter 330 (and half the speed of the 330 turbo) but it is slightly restricted in that it's printhead is only about 2/3 of the width of the other models. And that's really the only difference - the LabelWriter 310 prints at the same resolution as the LabelWriter 330 and LabelWriter 330 Turbo and it uses the same software and the same 3rd-party software plug-ins. It is a little lower in cost and it is a very popular model

MISSOULA, Mont. — It was Saturday afternoon, and that meant the pale ale was flowing inside Draught Works, the latest brewery to open in this beer-loving college town. People swooned over the Czech pilsner and the coffee stout. A string band plucked away. As parents ordered another round, their children darted around the tables like giggling schools of fish.
It could have been a scene from any thriving upscale neighborhood brew pub. And that is precisely what has ignited a beer war in Montana.
Two decades ago, there was a handful of small brewers across the state. But as the U.S. love affair with homemade beer and microbreweries spreads, Montana breweries have popped up from Wibaux to Whitefish, with frontier monikers like Blacksmith, Outlaw and Glacier.
Today, this state of wheat and barley fields has at least 36 small breweries, serving up pints for oil workers on the eastern plains, skiers in the mountains and summer travelers bound for national parks. It had the makings of a golden age for bars, beer makers and tipplers across the state.

Then things got ugly.
To entice customers and to promote their beers, many of Montana's brewers have seized on a 1999 law that lets them open tasting rooms without having to buy a liquor license. There are strict limits — they can sell only 3 pints per person, and they have to close by 8 p.m. — but the brewers embraced the chance to sell directly to the public. They hired bands, sponsored art events and invited food trucks to park outside. Then they watched as the crowds came, with wallets out.
"It's literally our billboard," said Jeff Grant, 30, who opened Draught Works a year and a half ago.
Bar owners upset
Montana's bar owners and their powerful tavern lobby howled in protest at what they called unfair new competition.
Giving away a few thimble-size samples of amber ale was one thing. But the shiny new tap rooms were bars by another name, they said, and threatened to drain business from bar owners who had paid $100,000 or more for one of the state's scarce liquor licenses.
"There are two different sets of rules," said John Iverson, a lobbyist for the Montana Tavern Association. "We're asking to be treated fairly."
So they took the battle to the state House.
Tavern owners proposed a bill that would limit breweries' retail business to 10 percent of their overall sales. When that effort failed, they unsuccessfully urged lawmakers to require nearly all breweries to buy a liquor license.
"If you want to act like a bar, be a bar," said Dax Cetraro, whose family runs the Rialto bar in Helena, the capital.
Montana's brewers cast their fight in the Legislature as a hoppy version of David and Goliath, saying the laws could drive them out of business and would stifle a fast-growing industry that employs at least 320 people.
"We are not breaking the law," said Tony Herbert, the executive director of the Montana Brewers Association. "We thought that when you created a $50 million industry, you'd get a pat on the back. Instead, we've had nothing but people coming in to stop it and slow it."
Brewers win round
But Cetraro said some of the breweries had not been playing fair. Some tasting rooms are now bigger than an average bar, he said. Other beer makers have stopped distributing their beer to him because they can sell it for higher profits from their own taps. He said he lost out on the chance to cater a wedding because a brewery in Missoula would not sell him the kegs his customers wanted.
The efforts by the tavern owners failed this year, but they may yet succeed in passing new limits in the next legislative session.
For now, the small breweries appear to be winning the battle of public sentiment.

Did You Know?
Products with a remote, soft keypad, clock, or network connection often draw standby power and increase energy use. Look for products without these features, unless the functionality is absolutely necessary.
Updated April 2013
Federal agencies must purchase products with a standby power level of 1 watt or less. Standby power is the power consumed by a product when in the lowest power consuming mode. This typically occurs when the product is switched off or not performing its primary purpose.1
This product category overview covers the following topics:
These additional resources can also help Federal agencies meet low standby power purchasing requirements:
Table 1 outlines specific standby power requirements and compliance resources by product category. Federal purchases must meet these low standby power requirements.
aAll products within the Low Standby Product List are ENERGY STAR–qualified, if available. FEMP updates the Low Standby Product List monthly, using ENERGY STAR–qualified product lists.
bBy definition, all Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT)–registered imaging equipment meets low standby power requirements.
cFor these categories, FEMP has determined that greater than 80% of ENERGY STAR–qualified products meet or exceed a 1-watt standby power requirement.
dThe ENERGY STAR product category "Computers" includes desktop, integrated, notebook, and workstation computers. It also includes thin clients and small-scale servers. Small-scale servers are not covered by EPEAT.
eThe ENERGY STAR product category "Displays" includes computer displays, digital picture frames, and professional signage. Computer displays are covered by EPEAT. Professional signage is not covered by EPEAT.
When buying or specifying products listed in the table above, Federal agencies must ensure the product is ENERGY STAR–qualified and meets the low standby power requirement. All products listed as "compliant" within the Low Standby Product List meet these requirements: FEMP updates the underlying data monthly using ENERGY STAR's qualified product lists. Per Executive Order 13514, Federal customers must also ensure that 95% of computer and computer monitor purchases qualify as Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) products each year. Electronic products not listed in the table above must meet a standby power level of 1 watt or less unless such a product is not available or is not cost effective in the intended application. In that case, the buyer should seek a product with the lowest standby power level available.
Back to Top
An efficient product is cost–effective when the energy cost savings over its functional lifetime exceed any initial incremental cost above a base model (i.e., energy cost savings are greater than additional costs at time of purchase). Federal purchasers may assume that ENERGY STAR–qualified products and products meeting FEMP-designated efficiency requirements are life cycle cost effective. However, users wishing to determine cost effectiveness for their application may do so using the cost effectiveness example in table 2.
In this cost–effectiveness example, an agency purchase of 100 desktop computers that meet the required low standby power level (1 watt or less) saves the agency $36–$236 in lifetime energy costs. Because low standby power desktop computers do not typically come with a price premium (also known as incremental or additional cost), the agency can capture all the energy cost savings.
*Assumes the computers are operated for 4 years, spend 6,000 hours per year in standby (based on IEC 62301 V1.0-2005), and electricity costs are $0.09 per kilowatt-hour. It also builds in future electricity price trends and discount rates based on Federal guidelines.
** Assumes that the low standby power computer is available for the same price as a high standby power computer. Federal agencies will find that this is often the case.
To adjust this cost–effectiveness example using a different electricity price, multiply the typical lifetime energy cost savings above by this ratio:
(Your price in $0.00/kilowatt-hours) ÷ ($0.09/kilowatt-hours)
To adjust the hours a device is consuming power at the standby power level, multiply the typical lifetime energy cost savings above by this ratio:
(Your hours) ÷ (6,000 hours)
The Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) 2007 and Executive Order 13221 require Federal agencies to purchase products with a standby power level of 1 watt or less. These requirements apply to all forms of procurement, including construction guide specifications and project specifications; renovation, repair, maintenance, and energy service contracts; lease agreements; acquisitions made using purchase cards; and solicitations for offers. Energy efficiency requirements should be included in both the evaluation criteria of solicitations and the evaluations of solicitation responses.
FAR Part 23.206 requires Federal agencies to insert the clause at FAR section 52.223-15 in solicitations and contracts that deliver, acquire, furnish, or specify energy-consuming products. FEMP recommends that agencies incorporate efficiency requirements into both the technical specification and evaluation sections of solicitations. Agencies may claim an exception to these requirements through a written finding that no ENERGY STAR–qualified or FEMP-designated product is available to meet the functional requirements, or that no such product is life cycle cost–effective for the specific application. Additional information on Federal requirements is available.
1 Some organizations use the term standby power to refer to all low power modes. FEMP does not consider standby power as a mode, but rather a level of power consumption that occurs when a device is in the lowest power-consuming mode.

unknown Orchid - please ID
Posted 28 September 2011 - 18:51 PM
It and another (not yet sure if same species) germinated in a Nep pot several years ago. Within the previous year I had sown some disa seeds and had assumed this was just some stray seeds. I found out today that I have been wrong - this is no disa.
This really could be from anywhere in the world. I think the pot compost was composed of peat, bark, probably some sphagnum and a few other things. The Nep was bokorensis - could the orchid seed have been on that?
So pic's - the lip is actually slightly yellow like in the last pic, not white as it seems in most. It's been growing in a water tray outside all summer and gets direct sunlight for several hours each day. The flowers are small, but the nectar tube is very long - so I guess moth pollinated?
Greatful for any help to even narrow it down.

After a heavy trawl of the internet - I think I have a candidate, it looks to me as if it may be a cynorkis and does look a lot like cynorkis fastigiata, although mine does seem a little small for that species, what do other orchid fans think ?
With cynorkis, being african terestrials - how on earth has it ended up germinating in my back bedroom

Cynorkis fastigiata
I was warned that it was a particular weed of Nepenthes collections (but not a dangerous weed). You probably brought the seed in with a plant.
Posted 29 September 2011 - 08:26 AM
But what a wonderful weed and it self pollinates
Matt - it seems they are related and have similar cultivation requirements, so you weren't too far off.
Cheers guys.
Posted 29 September 2011 - 21:34 PM
I was happy enough to think it might be a bit of a weed. It's from Madagascar so there is no good reason to expect it to be hardy.
Posted 30 September 2011 - 20:11 PM
I think it would be best kept warm and shady during growth with a min of about 10-12c in winter when it should be kept dry whilst resting and then commence watering when growth recommences.
(there are about 600 Habenaria, so it's a good job you found it before going down that avenue!)
Posted 01 October 2011 - 14:20 PM
It seems most likely that the seeds actually came in with the bokorensis plants from Francois in March 2008 - it was a weed in his collection and he still has some.
well done, Phill, I'm quite surprised that an african species turned up with Neps, unless it did come in with the Disas.
I think it would be best kept warm and shady during growth with a min of about 10-12c in winter when it should be kept dry whilst resting and then commence watering when growth recommences.
(there are about 600 Habenaria, so it's a good job you found it before going down that avenue!)
I'm fairly certain that this plant was kept outside, but under cover last winter (dry) - although it may have been indoors - I remember the leaves rotted away and I thought I'd lost it. The other one I have (assumed the same) is still in the Nep pot it germinated in, but is very etiolated as only under my lights with no direct sunlight. This one has been getting loads of direct sunlight all summer, but stood in water. But for the winter I'll move it back in doors (and sow the seeds), I guess I better pot up the other one to give better conditions next year.
As for ID, I did a search on Terestrial Orchids (as it seemed terestrial to me) and found a site that listed all the families for different countries / regions, with a few pics for each family. Luckily I have a good eye and was able to tell at a glance when things weren't right and the only thing that looked possible were the Cynorkis (whilst Habaneria has some similar, many aren't) thena quick google search for cynorkis pic's made me fairly certain I was right and also my prefered candidate - turning up in my back bedroom, I figured it wouldn't be too rare.
But this is one weed I very happy to have Anyone else with weedy orchids in their collection, are welcome to send some my way.

For most of the time that humans have inhabited the earth our wastes were only of significance on a local level. In recent decades society has started to take seriously the impact of human actions on the planet in a broader sense. Pollution of the air, land and water comes from a variety of sources and continues to be a major issue for communities and countries across the globe. While measures have been taken to address pollution in various ways across many dimensions – from local waste collection and recycling programs to international hazardous waste protocols -- globalization has magnified the problems as pollution is often exported along with good and services. One of the major challenges of the 21st century is to find ways for a growing human population to reduce the amount and impact of contaminants we discharge to our shared natural resources.

4-10-06 - A Love County ranch owner made a startling discovery Monday morning as he noticed dozens of head of cattle were missing.
Authorities say the cattle were taken sometime between midnight and 7 a.m. They are not sure exactly how many cattle were taken and have very few leads on suspects. The owner of the property noticed part of the fence had been removed and that is likely how the suspects made off with the cattle.
Authorities are asking anyone with information to please contact the Love County Sheriff's Department.

How do I help my 8 year old making a decision?
My 8-year-old is one of the top students in her class, however, she can't make a simple decision for herself, tiny decision such as: once we went to a chocolate shop, she can't even decide if she wants to eat her chocolate now or later when the staff asked her, how can I help her determine her mind?

We have to be in Winnipeg on August 3, 2013. We have been invited to go fishing in Minnesota a week later. I am considering a ride from Winnipeg to Leech Lake (mid) Minnesota. It looks doable on the map - about 40 miles per day on the flat. It goes through the 'big bog'!
My concern is heat, bugs and traffic - in about that order. I've been to Winnipeg once in my life, about thirty years ago, so I have no frame of reference. I only want to do the ride if it would be fun. I'd appreciate any comments or advice about the proposed ride.

much in every way; for first, indeed, that they were intrusted with the oracles of God;
Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
3:1-8 The law could not save in or from sins, yet it gave the Jews advantages for obtaining salvation. Their stated ordinances, education in the knowledge of the true God and his service, and many favours shown to the children of Abraham, all were means of grace, and doubtless were made useful to the conversion of many. But especially the Scriptures were committed to them. Enjoyment of God's word and ordinances, is the chief happiness of a people. But God's promises are made only to believers; therefore the unbelief of some, or of many professors, cannot make this faithfulness of no effect. He will fulfil his promises to his people, and bring his threatened vengeance upon unbelievers. God's judging the world, should for ever silence all doubtings and reflections upon his justice. The wickedness and obstinate unbelief of the Jews, proved man's need of the righteousness of God by faith, and also his justice in punishing for sin. Let us do evil, that good may come, is oftener in the heart than in the mouth of sinners; for few thus justify themselves in their wicked ways. The believer knows that duty belongs to him, and events to God; and that he must not commit any sin, or speak one falsehood, upon the hope, or even assurance, that God may thereby glorify himself. If any speak and act thus, their condemnation is just.
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
Much every way,.... The circumcised Jew has greatly the advantage of the uncircumcised Gentile, , "in all respects", , "on every side", as the Rabbins speak; phrases to which this in the text answers:
chiefly; more especially, particularly, and in the first place;
because that unto them were committed the oracles of God; by which are meant the law of Moses, and the writings of the prophets, the institutions of the ceremonial law, and the prophecies of the Messiah and the Gospel church state; and in a word, all the books of the Old Testament, and whatsoever is contained in them; which are called so, because they are of divine inspiration, contain the mind and will of God, and are infallible and authoritative: and it was the privilege and profit of the Jews that they were intrusted with them, when other nations were not, and so had the advantage of them; they had them for their own use; for hereby they had a more clear and distinct knowledge of God than the Gentiles could have by the light of nature; and besides, became acquainted with the doctrines of a trinity of persons in the Godhead, of the sonship and deity of the Messiah, of the sacrifice, satisfaction, and righteousness of the Redeemer, and of salvation by him; and also with the manner of worshipping of God according to his will; all which the Gentiles were ignorant of. Moreover, they had the honour of being the keepers of these sacred books, these divine oracles, and of transmitting them to posterity, for the use of others.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
2. Much every way; chiefly, because—rather, "first, that."
unto them were committed the oracles of God—This remarkable expression, denoting "divine communications" in general, is transferred to the Scriptures to express their oracular, divine, authoritative character.
Romans 3:2 Additional Commentaries
God Remains Faithful
1Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the benefit of circumcision? 2Great in every respect. First of all, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God. 3What then? If some did not believe, their unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God, will it?…

The mainstream implies that accolades made by the IMF on the Philippines must be read as bullish for the stock market.
I'd say that the Philippine stock market and the IMF's approval are two different issues.
Well with the IMF pushing for SMS Taxes[1] as well as Sin Taxes[2], the only thing bullish here is for politicians, who will have more political control over the populace, but not necessarily more money.
As I pointed out earlier[3], Sin Taxes in the United Kingdom have not only failed to achieve the desired tax revenues and the supposed morality to be attained from such a regulation. Instead sin taxes spawned a bootleg industry, increased health risks of alcohol patrons who decided to go underground, and importantly increased corruption, as well as risks of violence.
Sin taxes are equivalent to prohibition laws focused on human vices like drugs, cigarettes gambling, prostitution and etc… that seems noble sounding humanitarian based, but have been hardly in touch economic reality.
As exiting US Congressman Ron Paul said in one of the greatest speech ever[4],
Humanitarian arguments are always used to justify government mandates related to the economy, monetary policy, foreign policy, and personal liberty. This is on purpose to make it more difficult to challenge. But, initiating violence for humanitarian reasons is still violence. Good intentions are no excuse and are just as harmful as when people use force with bad intentions. The results are always negative.
Importantly a common mistake has been to misinterpret taxes rates as a constant or linear function of revenues. An important economic axiom to realize is that "when you tax something, you get less of it."
And such economic law applies to the effects of raising taxes on gold sales that has only prompted for the skyrocketing of smuggling activities[5] from the output of small scale gold mining or the informal gold economy in the Philippines. In fact, some lawmakers have appealed for the repeal of these taxes[6].
Rampant smuggling has not been limited to gold but has broad based.
According to an Inquirer report[7], smuggling activities in the incumbent administration has exploded to a $39.2 billion industry, or an average of $19.6 billion per year or for the two years of President Aquino's tenure. This is far from the average of $3.1 and $3.8 billion for the Estrada and the Arroyo administration respectively. As a side note, mainstream economists may deny it but this seems to be one of the real factors contributing to the economic vitality.
Political agents and the apologists of the state would like make us believe that edicts, ordinances and regulations can supplant the law of economics. Guess who will be wrong?
Or is it that President Aquino realizes that the informal economy has been real force behind the growth in the domestic economy for him to promote populist regulations that drives economic activities underground? So could he be hitting two birds with one stone?
Another more important point is that the diversion of productive resources to redistributive unproductive or politically directed activities will eventually lead to more debt and more inflation whose outcome will be worse than the cumulative effects of individual's vices. Think Greece.
SMS taxes regardless of the form, on the other hand, will raise the cost of texting at the expense of consumers. Given that the mobile phone market will reach nearly 100% in terms penetration level[8], this implies that kernel of text users are likely to be from the middle to the lower income levels.
So IMF's Christine Lagarde in essence discriminates the poor by taxing them in favor of the political class.
Should I be bullish with the IMF's endorsement? Ms Lagarde's acclaim seems tantamount to the risk of catching the eyes of the mythical gorgon: victims turn to stone.

Book Description
The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book:
When the nations of the earth were sent forth one after the other, a special work was given by God to each, the word which each was to say to the world, the peculiar word from the Eternal which each one was to speak. As we glance over the history of nations, we can hear resounding from the collective mouth of the people this word, spoken out in action, the contribution of that nation to the ideal and perfect humanity. To Egypt in old days, the word was Religion; to Persia the word was Purity; to Chaldea the word was Science; to Greece the word was Beauty; to Rome the word was Law; and to India, the eldest-born of His children, to India He gave a word that summed up the whole in one, the word Dharma. That is the word of India to the world.

Tattoo Designs For Men & Women
Welcome to Badass Tats!
A BADASS tattoo is more than just its appearance. While it's look is important, of course, such intangibles as storytelling, artistic intent and integrity, and the combination of style and substance are what set certain tattoos apart. A tiny symbolic etching on a soccer mom's foot can be equally as badass as full-color fantasy scene on a biker's back as long as the person getting inked goes into the process with a badass attitude and the willingness to go the extra mile to own it.
Take a look at the galleries on this site and be inspired to unleash your inner badass!
A good tattoo can change your appearance for the better and leave you with a sense of who you truly are and what's important to you. Given the right body, any kind of art will look attractive, but adding your own personality in the mix can make a tattoo really meaningful and sweet. If you put some thought into it and hire a talented artist, you'll be impressed with your new addition and will probably start to crave more. Tattoos really are addictive, so do you research into all of the options that you have before you settle on one.
Be sure to hire a talented tattoo artist, especially if these tattoos are going to be in a spot that people will regularly see. A tattoo should stay with you for life, so make sure that it is well-designed and demonstrates a part of your personality that you are proud of.

Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response.
ASMR is a sensation that results from visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, or cognitive stimuli. It is highly individualistic and not everybody experiences it.
We are currently conducting a survey to find out more about the ASMR experience. Please help us by watching a series of videos and answering a few questions.
Our future research will ask ASMR experiencers to participate in a series of experiments. If you would like to be involved, please contact us!
We are a research group with expertise in psychology, physiology, and emotion. We are based in the Department of Psychology at the University of Sheffield.
Not much is currently known about the ASMR experience so we've set out to explore the phenomenon and discover its idiosyncratic characteristics.
Future research in ASMR aims to identify distinct physiological reactions to its triggers. This will help distinguish the experience from other similiar emotional states.
Meet Our Team.
My PhD explores the potential benefits and functions of daydreams that involve other people. I discovered that ASMR is something that others experience in 2012 and have been desperate to research it ever since!
My PhD focuses on caffeine and niotine and how they influence music-induced chills. ASMR is quite simliar to chills experienced during music listening and I would like to understand how they are different!
My PhD focuses on the development of executive functions. I am interested in ASMR because I've experienced it for as long as I can remember, and I'm able to bring on the sensation myself just by thinking about it!

This Caramel Apple Bundt Cake has all the flavors of caramel apples, without breakin your teeth. Filled with apple sauce, apple chunks and even apple juice!
We are anxiously awaiting for fall weather to hit San Diego – not that we are in a rush, as we only recently experienced summer weather. But, I suppose I'm in the Autumn Mood, since I have seen pumpkins and Halloween
crap decorations in the stores since July! Pinterest is full of pumpkin recipes, halloween crafts, costumes and everything else you can think of for the fall season. And since school has started and planning is underway for fall festivals, halloween parties and costumes, I suppose it's inevitable for me let summer go and embrace the coming season.
According to the Huffington Post, heirloom Apples are making a comeback here in the US. We all see the Red Delicious, Gala, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, and Fuji apples in the supermarkets. But did you know that over 15,000 other apple varieties that are grown here in North America. How about them apples?
Frieda's Produce sent me three varieties of these baby apples to snack on:
Cox's Orange Pippin: (Mostly green with a touch of orange.) This heirloom apple still dominates the English markets. The skin takes on an orange tinge at ripening. Has a juicy, nutty taste and firm flesh. This variety is good for all around use; both in cooking, juicing and eating fresh.
Ribston Pippin: (Green with orange streaky blush.) This apple was grown in 1708 from one of three 'pips' (seeds) sent from Normandy to Sir Henry Goodricke of Ribston Hall in Yorkshire, England. It has one of the highest Vitamin C contents, 30mg/100mg. Its yellow flesh is firm and sweet, with a pear taste. Ribston is also the parent of Cox's Orange Pippin.
Cortland: (Vivid red with a touch of green.) The Cortland heirloom apple was developed in 1898 by Professor S.A. Beach of New York. It is another high quality red apple, which often will have dark red streaks on the outside. Inside you will find a crisp, white flesh and a somewhat tart, sweet flavor. Very juicy. A good salad apple because it does not brown for hours after slicing.
All of them were delicious in this Caramel Apple Bundt Cake. Everything you love about caramel apples, but it saves your teeth. Apple sauce in the cake, apple chunks along the top, apple juicing icing and caramel icing drizzled all over it.
Ah, yes. Apples are here and so is Autumn.

How should I secure my anacharis?
I have a planted aquarium and I have anacharis in it and it keeps coming out of my substrate. I know that it feeds through its leaves so it doesn't need to be rooted but it just looks so much better when its not floating around on top of my aquarium. Any ideas?
If you have gravel substrate, just push the lower ends of the bunch of stems in the gravel and pile it up a bit. No problem with burying the crown on stem plants since there isn't one, they will root all along the stem, so you can put as much of the stems in the gravel as you need to hold it. Unless you have fish that dig, this will work; if you do a rock over it might help. If you're in sand, same idea although it will be less weight (the sand) so the rock may be mandatory.

(The dust is still settling and fingers are still being pointed
in the aftermath of what is now being called the "flash crash." Sorting
out the mess will require much time and likely result in more fingers
being pointed in multiple directions, but we simply have to accept the
fact that markets will occasionally suffer bouts of extreme
volatility--and be properly prepared to ride those waves until calmer
waters prevail.
While at this point there seems to be more questions than answers,
we can't help but feel for some of the unsuspecting victims of this
erroneous market action. But the first step in avoiding disasterous
results in the short term is to avoid taking potentially perilous
actions. Followers of Morningstar's exchange-traded fund research are
more than likely familiar with our strong preference toward using limit
orders when executing ETF trades. This helps ensure that you get a
price at or extremely close to the fund's net asset value. After all,
in a properly functioning market, a fund is worth simply as much as its
constituent parts. If you are selling and not getting something very
close to fair value, we would recommend not selling at all.
One type of trade that we vehemently avoid more than any other is
known as a "stop-loss" order. Consider yourself warned: If you perform
an online search for this term, you're likely to find some misleading
definitions. For instance, you may come across an explanation like,
"setting a stop-loss order for 10% below the price you paid for the
security will limit your loss to 10%." Our main problems with this
statement are that it is blatantly false, imparts a false sense of
security, and can lead to truly disasterous results.
Such misinformation likely makes employing a stop-loss strategy
sound appealing to a risk-averse investor who cannot actively monitor
his portfolio. In the case of a traditional stop-loss order, once the
"stop" price is reached, a market order to sell the security is
entered. Hence, the trade will be made but not necessarily at or near
the predetermined stop price. As was the case last Thursday, if there
is insufficient liquidity or the market is moving quickly, there's a
good chance that the order could fill at unfavorable prices.
In order for a fund to trade near net asset value, the prices of all
of the individual securities in a fund must be known. A mutual fund
accomplishes this by waiting to the end of the day. This periodic
pricing masks the intraday volatility. There is little risk for the
mutual fund company because all of the prices at the end of the day are
known. But for an ETF, which trades throughout the day, waiting until
the end of the day to set a price is not possible. Instead, the ETF
depends on arbitrage.
In this current era of central planning, malincentives abound. We raced to frack as fast we could for the read on...
The Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged yesterday, as widely expected. But the possibility of a read on...
It was never supposed to be this daunting. At least that's what we were read on...
The Federal Reserve is widely expected to leave interest rates unchanged today. But perhaps standing pat read on...

Dear Johnnie: I always enjoyed looking at the adorable Victorian style house on the corner of Terry Street and Second Avenue, and even had whimsical ideas of buying it someday to house a yarn shop. When I saw it gone I was so sad! Was it intentionally razed or was there an accident? And it appeared as if it might have been burned. This inquiring mind wants to know! — Donna
Dear Donna: I had grown so used to seeing that house on the corner that I quit looking. Your letter alerted me to its disappearance.
The closest business to the site is a welding shop, so I stopped by and asked them if they knew what happened to the house. The owner had thought about razing it, they said, but decided to allow the fire department to use it as a training house.
So, after adding drywall to create a more realistic interior, firefighters burned it over the Labor Day weekend.
I confirmed this with Assistant Fire Chief Scott Snyder. He didn't know the particulars of the training done at that site but said that often firefighters will ignite pallets inside the rooms of a training house so that they can practice their skills with real flames going up around them.
He noted that currently firefighters are doing non-fire training in two old houses near the intersection of Coffman Street and Longs Peak Avenue.
Donna, I suggest that you open your yarn shop in a different location.
Dear Johnnie: I read the advice not to recycle clamshell plastic in the paper (Monday) morning. This advice directly contradicts advice we saw earlier this year from what I consider a reliable source (Johnnie St. Vrain, 2/2/11, who cited Marti Matsch from Eco-Cycle), namely that they can be recycled if they are bundled as a group and wrapped with a rubber band so as to be three-dimensional.
Is this earlier advice no longer valid? Or may we continue to bundle and band those plastics into 3-D objects?
We are active recyclers, but over the years it gets very frustrating when contradictory information is given out from (what should be) equally reliable sources, or even the same source.
If the bundling and banding method is allowable after all, Tee-Cee's Tips should issue a correction. If not, then it looks like Eco-Cycle should get everyone on the same page. (And JSV should probably publish a revision.) Thanks. — Carolyn B-G
Dear Carolyn: Let me take you back to the column of April 22, 2011, when Johnnie stated that "the recycling industry is continually changing, and so are lists of accepted materials."
This is one of those times.
"In an attempt to figure out how we could recover this material," Marti Matsch wrote me, "we tried a pilot education approach asking folks to rubber-band the materials together in an effort to, as your reader rightly says, keep the material 3-D and prevent it from being flattened. We weren't sure how it would work, so we never added it to our official guidelines. We apologize for the confusion, but we have learned through this pilot approach that the rubber-banding is not a solution for the large scale. So unfortunately we are calling this pilot a failure and looking at other ways, including equipment upgrades, where containers that flatten easily can be handled. Our apologies and our thanks to your readers for so carefully following the guidelines."
So, Carolyn, because the recycling industry is always changing, we'll continue to answer these questions.

Massitan Amara, shown seated on the far right in the photo, grows crops of peanuts. With her loan, she intends to buy agricultural inputs and seeds, and pay for they labor needed to maintain two hectares of farmland. After the harvest, her produce is sold at the village market to a clientele composed of men and women.
She hopes to earn an income of 145,500 Francs CFA per agricultural cycle. This income will allow her to repay her loan and also to help her husband with their daily expenses.

Additional Information
Important InformationSoro Yiriwaso is a microfinance institution that works primarily in rural and semi-urban areas of Mali to provide underprivileged communities with access to financial services.The organization facilitates access for disadvantaged clients, particularly women, to new resources and services, fostering solidarity and cooperation among its clients. Kiva lenders' funds will enable Soro Yiriwaso to expand its outreach and target even more underserved Malians involved in business and agriculture.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Naruto Shippuden: Ninja Destiny 2 was expected to salvage whatever Namco Bandai did wrong with their games in the PSP. While this is from a different publisher and developer, it is from the same game franchise derived from the worldwide success that is the Naruto manga/anime franchise. However, it does have its rival, Bleach, to beat in terms of fighting games for the DS. Bleach: The Blade of Fate and its sequel, Bleach: Dark Souls, were both great fighting games that combined balance, variety, and a solid 2D combat system. This Naruto game has a lot of ground to cover in order to beat the Bleach games to the punch.
It makes use of the touch pad in more sophisticated ways than the Bleach games, which shows potential. The Bleach games only had stuff like power-ups and the special attacks as buttons in the touch screen, making its combat system a tad bit too easy. Naruto also has an easy combat system that is easy to learn and understand, but its power-ups and specials do take more skill to master. That sounds good so far for this game and its initial impressions. But hang on because it doesn't stay completely consistent.
Of course, the things being looked for in such a game are the characters and the adherence of the visuals to the reference material. Naruto Shippuden: Ninja Destiny 2 fulfills these things quite well for a handheld game as it does have the characters from the show with their distinct fighting styles and personalities. The visuals are definitely accurate, recreating the look and feel of the show so effectively that it is enough reason for fans to buy this game. Perhaps that's what the publishers planned all along.
However, that is where the pitfalls start for this fighting game. The combat system is so easy that it is shallow, making it boring in a short period of time. You will wish that there is more added into it like the stuff you'd see in the manga and anime, but they're not there. Also, the touchscreen system was made so sophisticated that it is difficult. While focusing on trying to get the sequences right, you are being bashed to the ground by your opponent. The singleplayer does not help matters either, being nonsensical and so boring that you won't have the motivation to finish it, even if it does unlock stuff. Perhaps that's the only thing it has in common with the Bleach games, but in a bad way.
Perhaps the only good representation of the Naruto franchise in the DS so far is in Jump Ultimate Stars. The developers tried to do a lot in this effort, but it looks unpolished and unfinished. Quite a disappointment to fans who expected this to be like the console Naruto fighting games, which have garnered quite a bit of success with its cool fighting system and awesome combat sequences. Takara Tomy was too ambitious for this game that they messed it up, leaving it rushed and shallow.
