Following 2010 Azerbaijan's Oil Fund to win back financial loss of first half-year
Baku, Fineko/abc.az. The State Oil Fund of Azerbaijan (SOFAZ) is going to win back accounting losses formed because of exchange rate difference in the first half of 2010.
Informed sources link Fund's exchange losses with an excessive rise of euro exchange rate to base currency (U.S. dollar) of SOFAZ.
"Panic rise of euro rate has stopped, and following this year SOFAZ expects recovery of lost assets in accounting terms," a source said.
Fund's exchange rate losses for the first half-year were estimated in 826 million manats (over $1 billion).
At yesterday's Cabinet Ministers meeting chaired by President Ilham Aliyev SOFAZ executive director Shahmar Movsumov stated that by 1 October the Fund earned its first $1 billion in the SOFAZ's entire history from the management of its assets.
"Today Funds assets total $20 billion, and over the past 3 years they increased 10-fold. Assets accumulation will continue, and within 5 years they will reach $50 billion," Movsumov said.

Paul Barnes has stepped away from a career of Valley neighborhood activism.
For more than 25 years, the Arcadia resident has fought zoning cases on behalf of neighborhoods in Phoenix.
The Arcadia Camelback Mountain Neighborhood Association has honored him with a plaque at the northern side of the structure over the canal at Arcadia Drive and Indian School Road.
Barnes, 80, said it's the right time to retire.
"It's time for somebody else to step up, and if I don't retire it's difficult for that to happen," he said. "When there is a void, someone is more likely to step up and fill that void."
He said he has had no regrets.
"It's not that kind of thing. I've gone to a lot of meetings over the years, and it's time to pull back," Barnes said.
Barnes has been an advocate for Phoenix residents and their neighborhoods when "inappropriate" zoning cases have gone before the City Council.
In 2005, Barnes led a fight against a Donald Trump 140-foot high-rise proposed for the Biltmore area.
He and residents were able to stop the $200 million project.
Mayor Greg Stanton said Barnes has helped keep the neighborhood voice at the front of city government.
"Where there has been an effort to ensure neighborhoods are protected and citizen voices are heard, Paul has been there leading the way," Stanton said.
"Paul is someone that I truly admire and I'm proud to call a friend and adviser."
Barnes warned that as the financial situation improves, new development projects must be monitored.
Development is needed but it must be appropriate for the neighborhood, he said.

For many of us not in California, Comic-Con seems so elusive, transient, and far away as if it's existing in some bubble of wonder that's forever beyond your grasp (like another season of FIREFLY). Then again, maybe that was just my perception growing up in Seattle and going to school in New York. Tickets sell out in seconds (I still don't know how that works), it's expensive (it's the goodies and room/board that'll get ya), and you have to get there. That seemed impossible when I was younger and in my heyday of collecting comics, naive of what delights and evils Comic-Con simultaneously represents.
The past three years, my consolation prize had been the Emerald City Comic-Con, which is a terrific and super vibrant festival in its own right. Minus the news and the star power wattage (though it still brings in Sir Patrick, Edward James Olmos, and the like), it's still massive and boisterous, populated with just as many talented cosplayers, and most importantly, it's fun. In many ways, it's more pure than SDCC, although that's also me talking out of my ass.
Flash forward to this summer. I'm a little older (but no less naive) and fortunate to be among the few to represent FAMOUS MONSTERS this year in radiant San Diego. And I don't take that lightly. Our eternal editor-in-chief — our ghost with the most — Forrest "Forry" J Ackerman, who created FM, coined the term sci-fi, and discovered Ray Bradbury, was also one of the main men responsible for organizing the very first Comic-Con. He was even the first to dress up for events, rocking a "futuristicostume," or 25th century leisure wear, with his date Myrtle R. Douglas at the 1st World Science Fiction Convention in 1939. Yes, Forry invented the behemoth that is now known as cosplay, and really helped deliver the idea that it's okay to express yourself, to be different, and wave that nerd flag high. Now such behavior is almost cool, as witnessed by the monstrous pop cultural touchstone that Comic-Con has become in the 21st century. In his day, I can only imagine.
I had worked with FM for over a year on a part-time basis, mainly writing to you fine people, but since April of this year, had been roughing it in LA with the rest of the FM family. It was an entirely new journey that I was (and still am!) terrified, excited, and nervous about. In many ways, Comic-Con was my first eye opening experience of this wacky life that I hope to carve out for myself (though grocery shopping at a Ralph's with Jerry from PARKS & RECREATION had its share of whimsy).
We had worked and prepared for Comic-Con all year, and even with loads of planning, we were no less ready when it came time to pack up and flock down to San Diego. What followed was one of the most crazy, stressful, exhausting, overwhelming, and fantastic weeks of my life. It's been weeks since Comic-Con ended and I'm still catching up on work and life (though a one week vacation didn't help matters), making this post a little… late.
We arrived on Monday and got all our stuff (apparel, DVD's, equipment, magazines, etc.) on the pallets, then came the task became setting up our booth, which turned into one of the cooler booths in the whole show (in part due to the excellent additions of ESP, their guitars, and Samhain Publishing). That wasn't just my opinion though, as it was shared by JoBlo as well. Here 'tis, if you haven't seen it on our FB already:
My editor, Barrett WS, and I formulated a schedule for the week's activities: panels, parties, interviews, press conferences, and meetings scattered across the convention center, the nearby hotels, and back alleys. There is just so much going on, and it was painful that I couldn't see even 8% of it, let alone all of it (it made me wish that I, like Hermione Granger, had a time turner). I wish I could have seen the HIMYM gangs' first (and last) panel at Comic-Con, or not have missed MARVEL'S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. pilot (FM's Elvis was the lucky one for that; here's his review), or been able to interview Jane Levy about EVIL DEAD, or had minions delivering me all the free stuff to plunder, or slept with a female Deadpool cosplayer (or these fine people), but it was impossible (except for maybe the last bit).
My adventure continues on page 2!!

Wednesday UPDATE:
So much for this idea.
"There is no casino being built at Willets Point, period," said Julie Wood, a spokeswoman for Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg.
Of course, Bloomberg leaves office at the end of the year, but the NY Times article adds that "would require a lengthy public review and an environmental assessment."
If there's one ray of hope for backers, it would be that Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver – an extraordinarily influential figure in Albany – still seems open to the idea.
The original blog post is below:
Mets ownership, which once thought it was a big winner in the stock market courtesy of Bernie Madoff, now reportedly is looking to gamble in another way – with a casino proposal for a lot adjacent to Citi Field.
The Shinnecock Indians would run the operation, according to the report, with the facility including 500 hotel rooms:
The Pittsburgh Steelers already play football in a stadium that is adjacent to a casino, and there is a lot of political sentiment for adding one someday at the Meadowlands Sports Complex near where the Giants and Jets play.
The proximity of gambling halls and pro sports facilities is fraught with awkwardness, given the pro sports leagues' antipathy toward betting on its games. It will be interesting to see if the dynamic changes over time.

Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band and Kid Rock at Xcel Energy Center, 3/15/13

Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band and Kid Rock
Xcel Energy Center, St. Paul
Friday, March 15, 2013
Friday night wasn't just the start of another wild Saint Patrick's Day weekend in the Twin Cities. Leave it to Saint Paul to know how to kick it up a notch by bringing to town a heroic dose of Detroit Rock City to the Xcel Energy Center. The double headlining bill featured Kid Rock making history, and his own personal dream come true, by sharing a stage with Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band.
The long-anticipated event did not disappoint as the working class heroes who've maintained a patriotic spirit of their city in their music and on stage for decades sold out the arena.

Slideshow: Bob Seger and Kid Rock at the Xcel, 3/15/13
In a custom track suit that probably costs more than the average house, Kid Rock commanded the stage with his band, Twisted Brown Trucker, and revved up the audience with a complete set that featured his trademark volatile personality in a larger-than-life display that gave the insane crowd of Rock devotees exactly what they came for.

Like Seger, Kid Rock has capitalized on his ability of being down-home, and reflecting a part of Americana in the massive arena. Though he lives the dream as a rock star, he maintains a realness and ability to relate to the audience during the genre-hopping pinnacle of anthems, fist-raising and flag-waving he's perfected. Honing in on a very real nationalistically motivated presence while feeding his own power of pride for where he's from, his songs and consistent message tapped right into a mutual respect that his massive audience paid in return. There was ample evidence in the response of enjoyment the crowd really has for his music Friday night. In other words, people were going fucking bananas.
Busting out with a couple tracks from last year's Rebel Soul the Kid rocked the whole night away, eventually bringing out the massive hits that had hands waving, fists pumping and everybody digging the groove, singing along during "You Never Met a Motherfucker Like Me."
The "American Bad Ass" did not waste time, and backed by his killer band that included Fargo's own Shannon Curfman, taking a duet and cooling off the crowd for a minute to sing Sheryl Crow's part during "Picture."
Photos by Steve Cohen
With many accolades to the crowd Kid Rock also gave time and many salutes to those serving in the military, his devoted, passionate fans and finally, "I wanna say thank you to the American companies that are helping make this show happen and keeping the tickets cheap."
Giving props to Harley Davidson, Jimmie Dean and Jimmy John's, the crowd roared for "Rock N Roll Jesus." With a short video for Milwaukee Steel and a massive American flag backdrop Kid Rock stood atop his piano leading the crowd gospel revival style through the emotional "Born Free".
Showing genuine gratitude and very personally acknowledging the significance for the evening, Kid Rock saluted the crowd once again, "Tonight we raised the fucking bar. God bless you all. God bless America."
With closed eyes he then embraced the air around him before leaving the stage and returning for a quick and heavy "Bawitdaba" that predictably elicited the biggest burst of crowd insanity of the night so far.
As was evident from the extensive whiskey and beer lines the well lubed audience headed out for another round during the half-hour intermission. The lines were just as long for folks going out to take a smoke break, but once Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band hit the stage the fired-up crowd was well into rocking out beginning with a pair of covers, John Hiatt's "Detroit Made" and Otis Clay's "Trying to Live Life without You,"
Blazing on all cylinders, in black jeans and T-shirt, the head-banded Seger didn't just look like everyone's crazy Uncle who is the life of every party, he really was. He led the Silver Bullet Band, and the now ballistic audience, through a ferocious "The Fire Down Below."
Photos by Steve Cohen
With his endless line of hits, the set swung up and down like a steel pendulum of the heavy duty rockers "Old Time Rock 'n' Roll," "Travelin' Man" and "Her Strut" and mellow meditations that gave Seger a chance to have a seat, strum his guitar and highlight his , slow-cooked, smoky voice that continues to be a real icon of the classic rock sound. With the audience along for the ride the packed house chimed in with every word on "Mainstreet," "Like a Rock," "Against the Wind" and the romantic, "We've Got Tonight."
A super tight and solid organization, the Silver Bullet Band this time once again featured fellow Detroit rocker, the competent Don Brewer from Grand Funk Railroad providing a driving beat that gave things extra punch. Multi-instrumentalist and saxman, Alto Reed who's played the Clarence to Seger's Springsteen for decades dazzled the audience with his own flamboyance, signature solos, and unmistakable sound putting things over the top for the whole night.
Ultimately as the band finished up the set with a scorching "Hollywood Nights" the very nature of the event implied for a heartfelt wrap-up to the night that made the evening all the more special. As Seger returned to the stage with Kid Rock for the "Bob and Bob" encore the audience erupted and seriously got down for a spirited "Night Moves" that had the two trading verses and the entire Xcel singing along.
Photos by Steve Cohen
After the inevitable guitar line from Lynyrd Skynyrd it was Kid Rock's turn with the Silver Bullet Band keeping things going for "All Summer Long" and a big surprise that Seger admitted was his idea. Who'd have thunk Bob Seger had flow? With help from a teleprompter he had no problem delivering key rhymes and leaving everyone howling on Rock's theme song, "Forever" that along with a raucous "Rock 'n' Roll Never Forgets" put a huge exclamation point on the unforgettable evening.
Critic's Bias:
Meh, call me square, but hearing tangos typically gets me out on the floor more so than Kid Rock's music usually does.
The Crowd: If they were drinking 2 Gingers at the beginning of the night, they were definitely seeing 4 by the end.
Overheard in the Crowd: "I hope he plays 'Bawitdaba'! Do you think they'll played 'Bawitdaba'!? When are they going to play 'Bawitdaba'?!! Holy shit they're playing 'Bawitdaba'!!!"

Supreme Pizza with Arugula {gluten free, dairy free}
So I go to college in this town where boys always open the door for girls.
Like always.
It's like how listening to National Public Radio always makes me want doughnuts. That's because growing up my mom used to take me like once a month to get doughnuts and chocolate milk before school. A cake doughnut with pink frosting and sprinkles from a doughnut shop that wasn't on the way to school but they had the best doughnuts (it was actually called "Best Donuts") so that's where we had to go.
So you see, NPR=doughnut. College boys=hold doors open (along with a list of other strange things).
So, back to the boys. Even if you look like complete junk because you're coming to class (once again) after you just finished working out. Or because you decided that making pancakes was far more important than showering that morning…they're gonna open the door for you.
It's sweet. But herein lies the problem…the boy will stand there holding the door open for you before you are even close to the door. I'm telling you, they will stand there for a good 30 seconds waiting on you to get to the door. So when I see them holding the door open for me when I'm still a good distance away, I feel the need to sprint to the door just so we don't have to do that whole awkward-eye-contact-thing until I get to the door. Because that's just painful for everyone, but not quite as painful as what happened next…
So earlier this week, I was heading to one of my classes and I was in the parking lot getting closer to the building and then I saw him. He glanced over his shoulder to check for any girls and there I was…so he opened the door…and stood there…waiting for me to get there. So I tried to book it to the door but I was in flip flops, my backpack weighed a ton, and it was rainy and slippery out so before I knew it, my feet went out from under me and I ended up on the ground.
And then he felt the need to yell, "oh my gosh, are you alright?!"
And so then everyone looked.
In my mind I was all like "seriously, did I just really fall? Do I have to get up? Maybe everyone will just leave. Okay I should probably get up, this is getting weird. Why am I still on the ground?"
So I got myself off the ground. And the sweet guy still held the door open for me.
Good thing I'm always 'almost' late to class. Fewer witnesses.
Last week the spider incident. This week the falling incident. Who knows what next week will bring.
Hopefully gingerbread. Or more pizza.
Supreme Pizza with Arugula {gluten free, dairy free}
serves 1
[adapted from this crust]
1/4 cup + 3 Tbsp oat flour
1 Tbsp flaxseed, ground
1/8 tsp basil, dried
1/8 tsp oregano, dried
1/8 tsp salt
1 egg
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 Tbsp olive oil
Preheat oven to 425F. In a small bowl combine the oat flour, flaxseed, basil, oregano and salt. Add in the egg and half of the minced garlic and stir until combined. Line a baking pan will foil and then spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray and sprinkle with oat flour. This step may seem repetitive but the batter is EXTREMELY sticky. Spoon the sticky batter onto the foil and sprinkle additional oat flour over the batter and coat your fingers in oat flour to allow you to spread the dough into a thin layer. In a small bowl, combine the 1/2 Tbsp olive oil with the remaining garlic. Brush this oil over the entire dough. Bake for 10 minutes.
Pizza Toppings
3 Tbsp pizza/marinara/pasta sauce
2 Tbsp hummus
1/2 cup ground turkey, cooked
6 red bell pepper slices, thinly sliced
6 green bell pepper slices, thinly sliced
6 sweet onion slices, thinly sliced
4 cherry tomatoes, sliced
handful arugula (about 2/3 cup)
Remove from oven and spread pasta sauce and hummus over dough. Add cooked ground turkey, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes and onions. Place pizza back in the 425F oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, top with fresh arugula and slice into 8 slices.

Haha love this! You are such a good writer!:) And this pizza looks amazing- can't wait to make it
You're the best Sunnie:) The pizza is super easy! I hope you like it!! Have a great Monday:)
You too!:)
Hahaha! (Not laughing at your misfortune) I've lived in the South my entire life, so I know *exactly* what you're talking about. It's so awkward. I mean, I generally hold open the door if somebody is right behind me (it's polite) but I hate when men (young or old) hold the door when you're not even close!
Oh, and this pizza looks divine. I love arugula.
Haha i'm glad you can relate! Their intentions really are good, it's just so awkward sometimes! And I have just in the past year discovered my love for arugula so now I'm trying to make up for all that time I wasted not liking it!
That sounds heavenly! I could easily swap in some boca crumbles for the meat, and this would be SO delicious!
Umm I'm in:)
Now I'm dying to know where you go to school. It's gotta be the South, right?
Yep, it's the south…Texas A&M:) Did you go to school in the south too? I actually came across your name not too long ago on the Mentor Program for the Food & Culinary Professional Practice Group for AND.
Yep. Auburn… But I've lived in Texas and can appreciate… those Texas boys are quite polite :)
And yes… I'm a longtime member of FCP and have offered myself up for the mentor program…. although at this point, I haven't had any mentees :)
Well I might try to change that over Christmas Break:) Hopefully I'll be in touch once finals are over:)
I love that you do these recipes for one! Especially pizza, a long lost relative who has become foreign since going gluten free. Can't wait to try once finals are over!! And your photography is gorgeous! (I've been such a slacker hehe ;) )
I hear ya! Finals are kicking my trash. I have this long list of recipes I can't wait to make as soon as this week is over!:)
Hahaha, great post! I cracked up…it really is a nice gesture for them to hold the door open, but it also forces you to do an awkward walk/jog in gratitude or something. Hilarious!
Oh and, this pizza looks pretty incredible. Love the simple ingredients too, I can make oat flour just by grounding oats right? I need to try it!
Yep! Just throw them in a food processor and grind away! My food processor (before I broke it) never could seem to grind the oats as well as bobs red mill, but I guess that's why I don't have my own company:)
Holy yum! :D I completely agree that while holding the door open for someone else is a nice gesture, it's clearly a hazard. ;) I think I'd rather get my own door and not feel rushed, especially on wet, slippery days. But, seriously, that pizza!!
Who knew kindness could be such a hazard;) this pizza helped with the pain:)
Yum! This pizza looks amazing! I love finding gluten free dough options, I will be trying this will almond flour hopefully in the future.
Ohh yum:) I'm sure almond flour will make it even better:))
very excited to be making this tonight :) will be using rice flour instead though as I don't stomach oats very well (yes, it has a similar protein to wheat in case you didn't know so can affect some people!). Very glad I stumbled upon your blog :)

Michael Schumacher's former sparring partner Gerhard Berger suggests the seven-time world champion will be immediately in the mix with Mercedes Grand Prix in F1 2010 - and will soon earn the forgiveness of Ferrari's disillusioned tifosi
So Berger is not a Button fan!
Merc drumming up the dead to save their own skin.
Wow 1,369 fastest laps from 250 starts he really is special!
Classic lines/F1 quotes."I know I have been beaten by the best driver in the world" (RENE ARNOUX on his epic last lap battle with GILLES VILLENEUVE at DIJON 1979)
Rob02: "Wow 1,369 fastest laps from 250 starts he really is special!"It is actually 1369 points. I suspect Crash saw your comment and changed the article.
BA - Berger was never one of Schumacher's teammates.
"When he (Schumacher) stands before them, they will fall to their knees and worship him."Yeah, and then you wake up and realise its not raining its Berger pis*ing on your leg.
Haha!!!2 halfwits agree that Berger was a teammate of Schumacher. That's 2 folk who won't be jointing Mensa.

Warhill offensive lineman Parker Osterloh commits to Virginia Tech
Warhill High offensive lineman Parker Osterloh said Saturday that he has made a verbal commitment to play foootball for Virginia Tech. Osterloh is the first Warhill player ever to commit to a FBS (Division I-A) school.
Osterloh, a 6-foot-7, 275-pound junior, committed this weekend while in Blacksburg for the Hokies' spring football game.
"I've always felt that Virginia Tech was a great fit for me, athletically and academically," said Osterloh, who is leaning toward a biology major and has been recruited as an offensive tackle. "I was very comfortable with the coaching staff."
Osterloh received an offer from Tech in February, before visiting the school for Junior Day. Osterloh also had received offers from Virginia and James Madison, and recently visited Charlottesville.
Osterloh's coaches at Warhill said that he would consider early graduation from Warhill so that he could enroll in early 2013 at the school he chose, so Osterloh may be in uniform for Tech's 2013 spring game.
"I can't emphasize enough how young Warhill is as a school, being in just our fifth year," Warhill assistant football coach Mike McIntire said. "Anything of this magnitude is great for the school, because it gets the name of Warhill and the city of Williamsburg out there.
"I'm sure there will be many more athletes who do great things coming through the doors of Warhill High. But Parker is in a unique position from the standpoint that he is the first to go Division I in football.
"It's a great day for the school, for Parker and for his family."
Osterloh, a tight end and defensive end at Warhill, caught seven passes for 265 yards and a touchdown in 2011. He helped Warhill finish 7-5 and reach the Region I Division 4 playoffs. The winning record, playoff appearance and first-round playoff victory were all firsts for the Warhill program.

Amazon river basin biotope
Im thinking of doing an amazon river basin biotope as it says, since I read that bgk's are there. I have a bgk and im wondering what kind of medium to large size fish would do well with them, and plants as well.
Being largely nocturnal, the lighting must be dim (in the tank) so lower plants would perhaps be Anubias and Java Fern, even though not native to the amazon. If you want to be more authentic, the decor can be chunks of wood, rock, sand substrate. And plants confined to floating, which will dim the light but still provide the benefit of plants re water quality. And this is critical, as this fish does not last in unstable water.
Tankmates need to be fish incapable of being eaten, which means nothing less than 6 inches (given the mature size of the knifefish). Angelfish and discus actually do well in this biotope, they occur together naturally, though mixing angelfish and discus in the same aquarium is not recommended due to the aggressive nature of angels when feeding. Either would suit the knifefish. And of course we are considering a large tank, 6-feet and 2-foot width to allow the knifefish to turn (the body is inflexible). Also larger characins and catfish provided they are peaceful. Tankmates should not be active, but sedate (a la angelfish, discus) as the knifefish is a timid species.
so around what temperature and ph would it be ok for the bkg and the discus to be together? i know that discus need higher temps.
Hmm I know that plecos are in that area as well, would an albino long fin bushynose pleco be alright with those paramaters?
Awesome, two more questions for ya since I can't really find a reliable source, what kind of plants would be around that area? And also where would one be able to get a nice piece of bogwood?
Plants native to Amazonia: Echinodorus species, several stem plants, some floating plants. If the light is to be dim for the knifefish, lower plants (in the substrate) will be difficult. Providing sufficient light for them along with floating plants will still be too bright for knifefish. Providing plenty of dark shelter with bogwood can solve this problem for the fish, but it will be out less as it is basically a nocturnal fish that avoids bright daylight.
Many rivers and streams in Amazonia are without aquatic plants, because they flow through dimly-lit forest and aquatic plants cannot survive without some sunlight. There are exceptions, such as the Rio Guapore and Rio Negro; but most others have sunken logs, branches, overhanging forest canopy, vines and terrestrial marginal vegetation. However, when the forests flood as they do for half the year, the watercourses are then full with plants, and the fish live and spawn among all this vegetation.
Setting up an Amazonian tank can be done as an authentic biotope or as what I refer to as geographic aquascapes, where the fish and plants all occur in the Amazon basin but not together in the same watercourse.
Thank you for all the info byron i appreciate it. I have one more question sorry,what is the name of the plant in your amazonian riverscape 115g with the big broad leafs in the back. I know its some kind of sword but im unsure as to what kind. They are big tall and broad leafs that come to the top

Deep Ocean Technology Announces Plans to Build Worldwide Chain of Water Discus Hotels!
Posted By Beth Buczynski On September 17, 2012 @ 5:20 pm In Architecture,global development,News | No Comments
Dubai [2] is already home to some of the most architecturally stunning, advanced, and excessive [2] buildings in the world, but the Water Discus Hotel [3] is a showstopper – and we just received word that BIG INVEST [4] and Deep Ocean Technology [5] have joined forces with plans to actually build the Water Discus Hotel and possibly duplicate it around the world. Created by Polish firm Deep Ocean Technology [5], the design called for a pair of sci-fi styled discs, one of which would be positioned 21 stories underwater. Those lucky enough to reserve rooms in the underwater portion of this real life Atlantis would be treated to a fish-eye view of the Persian Gulf.
According to a press release, BIG InvestConsult AG [4] and Deep Ocean Technology GmbH [5] (owner of the patent rights of the Water Discus Hotel (WDH) concept), recently established a joint company in Switzerland so that the WDH can be commercialized around the world. Currently, the new company is researching marine construction methods, looking for additional investors, and scouting possible locations for its underwater hotel chain. Apparently, specific projects are already under consideration for locations in the United Arab Emirates, the Maldives, Oman and Martinique.
The WDH's discs, which would house swimming pools, a sun deck, SPA, restaurants and a helipad (among other things) would be interchangeable and buoyant, which means they can be used as lifesaving vessels if there were ever an emergency. There's no word yet on what a stay in this magnificent hotel would cost, but we're guessing it's not in the average person's budget.

New technologies have already demonstrated that we can crack price barriers on gas from North Dakota and since 2000 there have been technologies available to bring non producing oil fields in California, Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, and Louisiana back on line.. perhaps even Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York.. It is call re pressurization technology. If we had funded 1.5 billion USD in Tarp funds for California to do this we would not NOT be importing foreign oil for the us market, and paying abt $2 a gallon at the pump.. You do everyone a disservice by not keeping up with what is happening in the petro industries.

Survey of Stratification and Migration Dynamics in Russia, 1985-2001 Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research 2006 consumption economic indicators employment family relationships family structure family work relationship fertility income job history labor migration occupational mobility political attitudes privatization wages and salaries work 2006-07-18 2006-07-18 1985--2001 survey data 4206 1 The purpose of the study was to collect survey data on the employment/work histories, family structure histories, and residential mobility histories of Russian adults from January 1985 through the end of the survey. The work histories include the following information about each job held during that time period: occupation, how the job was found, employer type, industry, and size. In addition, the survey gathered information on current residence, occupation, other job characteristics, earnings, sources of household income, household ownership of consumer goods, basic demographic indicators, and attitude measures. The data were designed to be used for multivariate analysis of the factors influencing changes in employment status, job mobility of various types, changes in marital status, fertility, and residential mobility in Russia during the period of 1985-2001. Since the period covered by the histories spans the final seven years of the Soviet era and the first decade of the post-Soviet era, the data are uniquely suited for assessing whether the transition from Soviet-style socialism has affected stratification, family formation, and migration processes. Moreover, because the data include work/employment, family structure, and migration histories, the dataset is uniquely suited for dynamic analyses of the inter-relationships among states and events in these three domains. Finally, because the data contain information on each respondent's oblast (region) of residence at all points in time from 1985-2001, data on regional characteristics can be merged with files created from the survey data, in order to measure the impact of regional characteristics on individual-level events. The data can be used to investigate job and employment transitions, union formation and dissolution, fertility, departures of children, internal migration, determinants of earnings, wage arrears, consumption, and other topics.

AOL Inc. Stock Upgraded (AOL)
TheStreet) -- AOL (NYSE: AOL) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from sell to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, expanding profit margins and notable return on equity. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including a generally disappointing performance in the stock itself, unimpressive growth in net income and weak operating cash flow. Highlights from the ratings report include:NEW YORK (
-- Written by a member of TheStreet RatingsStaff
- AOL's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.05 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.40, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- AOL INC has exprienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, AOL INC turned its bottom line around by earning $0.14 versus -$7.42 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.33 versus $0.14).
- AOL, with its decline in revenue, underperformed when compared the industry average of 24.8%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 3.2%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- The share price of AOL INC has not done very well: it is down 15.02% and has underperformed the S&P 500, in part reflecting the company's sharply declining earnings per share when compared to the year-earlier quarter. Looking ahead, other than the push or pull of the broad market, we do not see anything in the company's numbers that may help reverse the decline experienced over the past 12 months. Despite the past decline, the stock is still selling for more than most others in its industry.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Internet Software & Services industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 65.5% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $66.20 million to $22.80 million.

Compared with other university rankings, the Leiden Ranking offers more advanced indicators of scientific impact and collaboration and uses a more transparent methodology. The Leiden Ranking does not rely on highly subjective data obtained from reputational surveys or on data provided by universities themselves. Also, the Leiden Ranking refrains from aggregating different dimensions of university performance into a single overall indicator.
Compared with the 2014 edition of the Leiden Ranking, the 2015 edition includes a number of enhancements. First of all, the 2015 edition offers the possibility to perform trend analyses. Bibliometric statistics are available not only for the period 2010–2013 but also for earlier periods. Second, the 2015 edition of the Leiden Ranking provides new impact indicators based on counting publications that belong to the top 1% or top 50% of their field. And third, improvements have been made to the presentation of the ranking. Size-dependent indicators are presented in a more prominent way, and it is possible to obtain a convenient one-page overview of all bibliometric statistics for a particular university.
The CWTS Leiden Ranking 2016 will be released on May 18, 2016.

The chemical N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a naturally occurring tryptamine similar to LSD or psilocybin. When ingested or otherwise consumed by a human, DMT causes intense and overwhelmingly spiritual hallucinations. Many studies report the experience of leaving the physical body and interacting with beings identified as deities. These experiences are often interpreted as life-changing and deeply meaningful. Though other psychedelic compounds may create similar subjective experiences, DMT is a candidate for a biological mechanism of spirituality because it is produced within the human body (Riba, 2003).
One study used mass spectrometry to measure levels of N-DMT in human cerebrospinal fluid (Shen, Jiang, & Yu, 2009). These levels varied greatly between individuals, from 10,000 ng/L to 100,000 ng/L. This evidence suggests that psychoactive levels of DMT may be present within the human body at times (Shen et. al., 2009). While the metabolic source of DMT is unknown, many researchers point to a section of the brain implicitly connected with sleep.- See more at: www.ultraculture.org/spiritual…

On the first day of UCLA's basketball practice before Bill Walton's senior season, John Wooden, the Bruins' coach, jumped on him for hair that touched his collar and bristle that speckled his chin.
He had about an hour to clean up his act, or he'd get tossed from the practice.
So Walton, all 6-foot-11 of him, jumped on his trusty bike and flew to a barber shop in Westwood.
"I was watching the clock," Walton said in a phone interview. " 'Come on! Come on! Let's go!' He finished, and I raced as fast as I could (back to the gym), rode right through the tunnel, dumped my bike at the side of the court and stood at the back of the line hoping beyond all hope that Coach hadn't noticed I was three minutes late."
It wasn't the last time a bicycle saved Bill Walton.
Walton, 60, is as famous for his passion for life as he is for his UCLA and NBA Hall of Fame careers. Freedom. Health. Basketball. He remains as active as he was as a player despite 37 operations that include bone fusions in both ankles and spine, back surgery and a knee replacement. He has not been able to run or play basketball since 1986.
The key to his recovery hasn't been a medical miracle or an athlete's fortitude. It's a simple contraption with two wheels and two pedals.
"My bike is my gym, and my church and my wheelchair," he said.
Walton spoke from his hometown of San Diego. Excitement was in his voice. He was leaving his home for Aspen, where he will participate in a Friday charity event, then stay in town to follow the third annual USA Pro Challenge from when it starts in Aspen on Monday to its finish in Denver on Aug. 25.
"I love Colorado and cycling, and when the two come together, I am indeed the luckiest man in the world," Walton said.
He plans to cycle one of the three 22-mile laps that will mark Monday's first stage around Aspen. That will be the start of what he says will be 1,000 miles of Colorado road under his wheels.
His interest in the sport is woven into the fabric of Colorado's cycling heritage. He was a regular at the old Red Zinger and Coors Classic races in the 1980s.
When basketball fans worshipped him, he worshipped Greg LeMond.
"He is as great a champion as I've ever seen," Walton said. "What he did in those early Red Zingers, Coors Classics was absolutely staggering. Now it's coming back to Colorado. The Schaden family, Rick and Richard, what they've been able to do with their sponsorship and their vision, Colorado represents just this whole culture of health and exercise: Let's get outside. Let's go ride our bikes."

SPIN Farming stands for Small Plot Intensive farming, a profitable, small plot (under an acre) urban farming technique codified by Wally Satzewich, a farmer from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Their annual workshop, where Wally himself will show attendees how to replicate his success, is coming up February 28th – 29th at The Mitchell Park Pavilion at the Domes in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (where I hope to be despite the usual sub zero temperatures). I spoke to Roxanne Christensen, co-founder and President of the Institute for Innovations in Local Farming, the co-author of SPIN Farming and a contributor to this site.
Leslie Berliant: I am so excited about SPIN farming, I want to take the course!
Roxanne Christensen: Well, we've been really excited about the cross section of people that come to SPIN farming. We have over 750 people that have downloaded the guides and they don't fit any profile. We ask a few demographic questions when they download, and we have found that it spans ages, experience, ideology, geography. What excites me is that it's a great unifier or leveler. There are all sorts of people that are practicing it and taking up farming.
LB: How did SPIN Farming first come about?
RC: Wally Satzewich is a farmer in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. He started out growing in his backyard like many farmers in Saskatoon. Like most farmers, though, he thought he had to get bigger in order to be successful. Eventually he had 20 acres, invested in equipment, and irrigation system, etc., but he also kept farming in his backyard in Saskatoon and commuted to his bigger rural farm. What's interesting is that he was growing high value crops in the city, such as salad, radishes, etc. and low value crops in the country, like potatoes, peas, etc. It got him thinking about the advantages of city based farming. In the city, he used the water faucet for irrigation, the work crew was himself and his wife. When he looked at the finances, he realized that overhead and effort in a sub acre operation is a fraction of a large scale operation but the bottom line is similar. Eventually, he sold all his acreage in the country and committed to farming in the city in residential backyards. This became the basis for SPIN farming. I got connected because I have been an urban agriculture advocate in Philadelphia since the 90's. The social and environmental benefits are easy to understand. After years of advocating urban farming, however, we saw that the quality of life benefits were not resonating with the people in a position to help urban agriculture succeed. We needed to make the economic case for urban agriculture. Around that time, I got a call from the Philadelphia Water Department. They have about 100 acres surrounding storage and treatment facilities that they kept as grassy lawn. They were looking for ways to cut down on maintenance and Nancy Weissman, the Economic Development Director for the Philadelphia Water Department wanted to see if any economic activity could come from the land. She and I decided to embark on yet another experiment in urban agriculture. Although there have been many, few had tackled the task of proving the economic benefits. We focused solely on proving that urban agriculture could be economically viable. The second thing was that, whatever we did it would be able to be replicated by others. An agriculture advisor referred us to Wally and because his system is geared to sub acre, it makes it suitable for densely populated areas. It has revenue targeting formulas, translates land utilization to specific dollar production and focuses on generating income. Wally became an advisor to what became Somerton Tanks Farm. We set a sales goal the first year of $25,000. Actually, it was $50,000 but folks who knew farming said it was impossible and that Wally was a nut. The average revenue from a conventional half acre farm is $3000. We decided to still do $50,000, but to set a goal of taking 5 years to get there. The first year we generated $26,000. You have to understand that the first year, we went from grassy lawn to a fully functional farm, none of us had any experience in sub acre farming, so there was a steep learning curve, as well as the need to build infrastructure. The 2nd year, we did $38,000 and the 3rd year, we did $52,000, so we did it in 3 years. The purpose of the SPIN guides is to shorten the learning curve for other people.
LB: How much land does one need?
RC: It really depends. We have a 1/8th acre part time hobby farm that generates $10,000 – $20,000 a year. We have an intermediate, full time, half acre farm (20,000 square feet) that generates $54,000. Somerton Tanks is in its 4th year and is at $68,000 with just over a half acre. We also utilized season extension. We have a deluxe, 1 acre farm model (40,000 square feet) that generates $50,000 – $65,000 a year. The income varies depending on season extension, crop selection and whether the person wants to do it part or full time. All the models are geared to an acre or less with people using front and back yards and scattered sites around neighborhoods and cities.
LB: Where do you find that kind of land in a city?
RC: It's interesting, when cities do land inventories, they find they have a lot more vacant land then they're even aware they have. I'm speaking about the experience in Philadelphia, but I think it can be transferred to other places. Because of our breakthroughs with Somerton Tanks, the state funded a study to document the model and provide a road map to expand it throughout Philadelphia. Our study involved a land survey and there is a lot of government owned land that is kept in grassy lawn that could be converted to food production. There is a lot of blighted land, as well, that cities have had as a burden and liability that could be converted to food production, too.
LB: You write that you need a rototiller and commercial cooler. How much money does one need to invest to get started?
RC: At Somerton Tanks, the major infrastructure investments were a 9x9 walk in cooler which we got for $3,300 used and a rototiller, which we got for $1500, also used. Our post harvesting station where we do all our post harvesting work, which was a tarp with polls, some sinks we scrounged, shelves we built and a table, cost $1,200. We put up a shed that cost $900 and measures 9 x 12 feet. We had some basic hand tools and garden tools, which were about $1,000 and eventually we added some inexpensive unheated hoop houses, we had 2, but only put one up last year, and those cost $1,200 each.
LB They don't need to be heated?
RC: Not here. Because of climate change, all season growing is becoming much more viable.
LB: How many people are needed at harvest?
RC: Somerton employs 2 and a half people. A husband and wife operate it year round and employ 1 part time seasonal worker for 6 months during the peak season, May – November.
LB: What about areas that are currently experiencing droughts, is this a reasonable endeavor?
RC: I think it is. Again, the main appeal to cities is that the water infrastructure is already there, you're not depending on river levels, wells and natural rain fall.
LB: How many SPIN farms are there?
RC: We don't know. We have an active e-mail group of 105 people and the interesting thing is that they come from all over the country; the Midwest, west, east. We have our first SPIN farm in Australia, in Armadale. They are ripping up tennis courts and converting them to half acres of production.
LB: What has been your most successful SPIN farm?
RC: It's sort of interesting, there's no on profile of that. Some people are doing it that have had other careers, some are just starting out. It's really a very wide ranging endeavor.
LB: What makes for a good farmer?
RC: Creativity, perseverance, a willingness to work hard, enjoying physical labor and being outside. And you have to be a good business person.
LB: Have you had any farmers fail?
RC: I'm sure we have but we don't know who they are, because we don't hear from them anymore. I'm sure a lot of people still have a very idealistic notion about what it takes to farm. If we can help them through that, then we are really helping them in the long term, as well.
LB: Where is the produce sold?
RC: At Somerton Tanks, we use four sales channels:
- Community Supported Agriculture, we have 45 members
- we sell at farmer's markets, two throughout the week
- we sell to a handful of restaurant and catering clients
- and we have an onsite farm stand
LB: What about pests?
|Praying Mantis - cheap labour. Invite them over for supper!
RC: You have them and you make peace with them. We had a rabbit. We let him alone and left some clover growing in between the beds and it seemed to liked that. It nibbled a little at the carrots. We also had a ground hog and that didn't seem to bother us much either. We hand pick pests and do crop rotation to disrupt the larvae cycle so we haven't had much of a problem. No problems with deer either, which is a big issue in rural areas. That's the beauty of the scale, you can literally be out there working crops and monitoring every day and be very aware of imbalances and rectify them quickly. Plus, you're growing 60 kinds of crops, 100 varieties. You can afford to lose a crop and not be set back financially all that much.
LB: I rent a small house and I have a small yard in front. How do I sign up?
RC: First off, what are your markets? Before you put a shovel in the ground, think about how you will sell your produce.
LB: Here in Southern California, probably restaurants and farmer's markets.
RC: Go to the farmer's market and hang out and see what is selling well there. Talk to restaurants and see what they find hard to get or what they would like that isn't available and then start plotting out your product line. The system itself calls for a special layout of the farm and intensive relay practices in selecting crops and plotting out production of the beds, so then you have to get into the system itself to plot out the land base. You can purchase and download our guides to get started. Guides 1 – 7 go through the basics; land base, tools, crops, laying out your farm, work flow and marketing. Guides 8 – 11 offer models of specific sizes of operation and also outline specialty farms; leafy greens for example, or salad mixes. We have one that just sells garlic, one is just carrots and potatoes, one that just sells flowers. Soon, we will also have a guide for a specialty farm of leafy greens, scallions, radishes and lettuce.
LB: How often do you hold workshops?
RC: Right now, just once a year in Milwaukee (as you've mentioned in your opening passage above, the next one is coming up February 28th – 29th). Now we are embarking on developing a manual to train the trainers so we can scale up on the workshop. We are looking for force multiplier on this so the information can be disseminated much more widely.
LB: February in Milwaukee, are you nuts?
RC: I know, I just turned down Alberta in February, just too much going on. Right now, February is the best time because it's when farmers have the season off. To sign up for the workshop, contact Roxanne Christensen at 610-505-9189 or firstname.lastname@example.com or register here.
The SPIN Lexicon:
Sub-acre land base – SPIN transfers commercial farming techniques to sub-acre (less than an acre) land masses. Farmers do not need to own much, or any land, to start their operations, and they can be single or multi-sited.
Direct marketing - SPIN bases crop selection on what local markets want. Being close to markets allows for constant product feedback and ensures a loyal and dependable customer base. Grow what you sell, don't sell what you grow, is the SPIN farmer's mantra.
Mix-and-match multiple unit pricing – SPIN's marketing approach is to pre-bag produce items and sell them at certain price tiers – for example, $3.00/unit or any 2 for $5.00.
Commercial refrigeration capacity – SPIN calls for commercial refrigeration capacity because cooling crops immediately after they are harvested retains their quality which supports premium pricing. It also provides control over the harvest schedule and allows for a manageable work flow.
Minimal mechanization and infrastructure – SPIN's most important and costly equipment is a rototiller and a walk-in cooler or upright produce cooler. All other SPIN implements and infrastructure can be sourced at local garden supply or hardware stores.
"Home-based" work crew – Supplemental labor requirements for a SPIN farm are minimal and can be readily obtained within the network of family, friends, or within the local community.
Utilization of existing water sources – SPIN relies on local water service or wells for all of its irrigation needs.
Low capital intensive – Minimal infrastructure and minimal overhead keeps SPIN farm's start-up and operating expenses manageable. The bottom line is little or no debt.
Standard size beds – SPIN utilizes beds measuring 2 feet wide by 25 feet long.
Organic-based – SPIN relies on all-organic farming practices. There are minimal off-farm inputs and very little waste.
Structured work flow practices – SPIN outlines a deliberate and disciplined day-by-day work routine so that the wide variety of farm tasks can be easily managed without any one task becoming overwhelming.
High-road/Low-road – SPIN distinguishes between different harvesting techniques. High-road utilizes commercial refrigeration equipment. Low-road harvesting does not.
High-value crops - SPIN devotes most of its land base to the production of high value crops, defined as one that generates at least $100 per crop/per bed.
Relay cropping – SPIN calls for the sequential growing of crops in a single bed.
Intensive relays – 3-4 crops per bed/per season are grown.
Bi-relays – 2 crops per bed per season are grown.
Single relay – 1 crop per bed per season are grown.
1-2-3 bed layout – Refers to the 3 different areas of a SPIN farm devoted to the different levels of production intensity.
75/25 land allocation – Dictates how much land is assigned to the different levels of production on a SPIN farm. The aim is to balance production between high-value and low-value crops to produce a steady revenue stream and to target revenue based on farm size.
Farm layout - SPIN provides guidelines for segmenting a land base into a series of beds, separated by access alleys, which are small 2 feet strips, just wide enough for a rototiller. An acre accommodates approximately 400 standard size beds, including the necessary paths and access alleys. SPIN can also incorporate more traditional approaches to land allocation.
Revenue targeting formula – By growing high-value crops worth $100 per harvest/per bed, and by practicing intensive relay cropping which produces at least 3 crops per bed/per season, SPIN targets $300 in gross sales per bed per season. With 400 beds per acre, the maximum revenue potential is 400 beds x $300 per bed per season = $120,000 gross sales per acre. When farming is approached in terms of beds instead of acres, the result is a very precise idea of how much growing space can be utilized, and how that space can be managed to generate predictable and steady income.
Crop Diversity - A SPIN product line contains a much wider diversity of crops, with some SPIN farms producing over 100 different varieties and 50 different types of crops per season. However, SPIN also provides models that specialize in a particular crop.
Season extension is optional – SPIN does not rely on season extension to expand production; however season extension can be utilized to push SPIN yields and income significantly higher.

Vodafone and KFC distance themselves from Joel Madden over drug find
Both Vodafone and KFC have moved to put distance between themselves and The Voice judge Joel Madden after he was allegedly found with 5g of cannabis in his hotel room.
While Madden has not faced any charges, he was asked to leave The Star casino on Sunday night, where he has been staying for the last two months while filming The Voice for Nine.
Recent months have seen both KFC and Vodafone seek to capitalise on the Good Charlotte singer's high profile with promotional campaigns centring around him. today they both emphasised that they had no plans to work with Madden in the future.
"There was no commercial agreement with Joel Madden. It was a one-off campaign that ran during the cricket. It's long done now," said KFC.
Madden, who it embarrassingly emerged had been a supporter of animal rights group PETA, partnered with the fast food chain for the "Good Times" campaign.
He was also involved in a Vodafone campaign, which saw the brothers host a house party in Sydney.
A Vodafone spokeswoman said in a statement to Mumbrella: "We have no current plans in place for Joel Madden appearances and are focusing on the Voice final next Monday."
Madden's co-star Seal, unleashed a tirade against the Australian media this morning on Twitter, saying Madden was being "gunned down" and fearing he would be next.
"Keep it up… sure we'll be back next year. And yes, I say we, because it's just a matter of time before you gun us all down," Seal said in one Tweet.
He also posted: "I for one will not stand by and watch you attempt to destroy my Brother, you gun one you gun us all!"
He also attacked the hotel, tweeting: "you ask him to meet n greet a cancer victim in your hotel then send police to his room?? Nice… very classy… keep it up Judas. I'm done here."
The tweets have since been deleted from the singer's account and he has apologised, saying he was missing his children when he said "I can't wait to go home."
"I want to apologise for my rant earlier. Joel is one of my best friends and I was really hurting for him.
"I want to say I have loved being in Australia, I've loved working on The Voice and with an incredibly talented group of Australian artists."

Haha…. the irony. The ONLY time that KFC is a viable food option is after a joint.
KFC? Really?
Ok, Vofafone I get, but that's kind of hypocritical coming from Col. Sanders (retired), because there's no way he'd turn his nose up at the sought after stoner dollar (AKA'd as the Greenback).
LOL …. Vodafone ran the promotion that was Joel's "house warming" ….. no wonder everyone looked happy!
Massive surprise – not.
So Voda and KFC use his "hip" youth appeal but then freak out when he smokes a bit of pot? Serves them right for lazy marketing.
And can someone tell Seal he's washed up and should piss off back to where he came from if he doesn't want to be here.
The folks at Vodafone and kfc would surely welcome this.
no one who responded well to him as a front man for these brands would give two shits that he had weed in his hotel room, they'd like him more for it.
So their boy just got loads of publicity and looks less soft than he appears on the tv. Result!
Seals just trying to get his bite of the pie too.
if I had a silver tin foil hat I'd say it was a huge orchestrated set up
I personally don't care if anyone has a bit of pot and most people wouldn't. This world has gone crazy. Give people a break. I've tried it didn't like it but at the end of the day whatever gets you through this crazy life. I think there's more to be concerned about. Joel seems like a great bloke. Once again it's the tall poppy syndrome. Australians are great at Knocking people that are talented.Joel obviously loves this country and is doing more for it than the people that are trying to bring him down.
So they have a no BYO policy then?
This is great news for KFC. More publicity for their star and huge support from Australian public who see nothing wrong with smoking pot. In fact, many of KFC's customers would be post smokers anyway. It also gives Joel a more cooler cred with the young ones who primarily eat KFC anyway. Well done!
shock horror…rock star found with small amount of pot.
advertising and media industry recoil
Hi Nick,
While I tend to take that view too, it's worth recognising that not all of middle Australia – the heartland of those brands – does.
Tim – Mumbrella
That's the inherent danger of celebrity endorsement for ya. Now where's my spliff?
I am more surprised at The Star… aren't they trying to attract celebrities and high rollers who expect/demand absolute DISCRETION from the hotel they are staying in?
The Sebel Townhouse understood this in it's heyday and was quite the international A-List hangout as a result
Without getting into the moral & legal aspects of this story, surely another fail for The Star brand
Um, have they not seen the Ninemsn Madden drug scandal article surrounded by KFC banner ads?
Looks like we've identified one of KFC's secret herbs and spices….
very true Eddy.
Tim, if you're right, it's depressing. But I would hope that outside of some shock jocks and the Fred Nile types, most people really aren't going to boycott KFC over a rocker getting stoned.
I mean, it would be different if he'd gone full 'Charlie Sheen'.
The weed was probably left in his hotel room by a funky, cool, trendy agency bod……… 😮
I have for two years watched Joel Madden on the Voice . I think he is an awesome, honest and heartfelt musician, and person. What a great assett he is here for us in Australia. Sincerely i wish he would like to come back here for another season. He is human…and realy should not be condemned for what he chooses to do, as a recreational choice for him. Really why the hell make such a fuss and attack him with thevmedia. His business is his. What he does is his business .Nor do i think it should have been made so. Public.. Shame on Australian media….Joel, you are a great guy.

New eateries in Terminal C of George Bush Intercontinental Airport are opening on a regular basis
Terminal C at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) is experiencing dramatic growth in the number of food options available to passengers.
New restaurants opening in 2009 are bringing customers additional choices in everything from fine wines to European-style sandwiches, and 2010 is bringing in even more options.
This is part of a program that was started two years ago, says Mario Cediel, vice president of operations for JDDA-SSP. Our commitment to the airport was to completely renovate every food court in Terminal C.
Since that pledge was made, Terminal C has seen a string of new restaurants open their doors for the first time, including Panopolis, Le Grand Comptoir and the Real Food Company.
These establishments are now offering passengers fresh gourmet sandwiches, the taste of a Parisian bistro, and a one-of-a-kind dining experience featuring 11 different serving stations.
We want to kick it up a notch, says Cediel. We want to bring in facilities that are exciting, beautiful and contemporary.
And those criteria continue to guide the expansion program in Terminal C, as plans for 2010 begin to take shape.
Passengers in the north concourse of Terminal C are now enjoying the California-based food found at zpizza, while passengers in the south concourse are now able to find the popular Einstein Bros Bagels.
Both of these establishments began operations in 2010 and even more additions are on the way in Terminal C. By the end of February, passengers will see new signs for Subway sandwich shop, Wendys and Popeyes, in addition to the opening of the fresh Mexican grill La Salsa.
Since last year weve opened up about a restaurant a month, says David Roberts, area director of operations for SSP America. The momentum has really picked up in both scope and size in what were doing.
This momentum is even more impressive when you consider the fact that the concession program at George Bush Intercontinental Airport was already firmly entrenched as an industry leader.
This is why IAH is routinely chosen by companies as the site to launch their airport-based operations, and its why passengers should expect even more exciting news in the near future.
We want to redefine what airport restaurants are all about, Roberts says. The consumers want more. They expect a higher quality of food and were committed to delivering that to them.

How to cool down increasing tank temps
Here are a few ways of cooling down the temperature:
1. Try freezing a coke bottle filled with 2/3 volume of the water. Prepare more bottles to keep recycling the process of cooling down the tank temperature.
2. Put ice cubes in freezer bags. To make more ice cubes, have at least 3 ice trays. Once one tray is used up, refill it with water and place it in the freezer again.
3. If your room has air conditioners, you may try switching it on to cool down the tank. This method is very expensive and unless you can afford to pay the bill, then you'll have to resort to cheaper methods.
4. Set up some mini electric fans on the top of your tank and switch it on. This will fan the surface and helps cool down the tank.
5.Also if it's not possible to have an electric fan blowing on the water, you can have a fan blowing up against the tank glass. But this will not change the temperature a whole lot as the room should be cooler for this to work effectively.
Try monitoring the tank temps when doing these methods.
Another thing: Increased tank temperatures also increase the rate of water evaporation so you'll find yourself doing a water change in bigger volume.
Caution: Be sure to prepare airpumps. Rising temperatures can also reduce the oxygen levels.
Use the 1st and 2nd methods only when you have time to monitor the tank temps. Severe decreasing of temp is stressful to the fish.
The 3rd method is very expensive so resort to the last method if you don't feel like switching the AC and running an electric bill.

Between Two Worlds: Thailand's Coup One Year On
May 27, 2015
The first anniversary of Thailand's latest coup passed without ceremony or acknowledgment by the military-led National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO), which assumed power following the ouster of the elected Pheu Thai government on May 22 last year. The anniversary was marked by fresh statements of concern from international organizations, pointed commentary from international news agencies and country specialists, and thoughtful reflections by a handful of respected Thai political observers whose public prominence and carefully measured views limit their risk of political censure.

Thailand Political Standoff: The Latest Flash of Deep-Seated Tensions
December 11, 2013
This week, Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, sister of controversial former leader Thaksin Shinawatra, dissolved parliament in response to an escalating anti-government protest movement. Led by former Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban, the movement has mobilized tens of thousands of whistle-blowing demonstrators under the banner of the People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC). PDRC has declared its intention to unseat the Pheu Thai government, remove the Shinawatra family from politics, and press for the appointment of an imprecisely defined "People's Council" that would seemingly be composed of neutral, respected leaders who would replace elected government for an undefined period of time.

June 29, 2011
At first glance, the lead-up to Thailand's July 3 national parliamentary election seems little different from previous electoral countdowns.

Survey Findings Challenge Notion of a Divided Thailand
March 30, 2011
Since Thailand's color politics began pitting the People's Alliance for Democracy's (PAD) "Yellow-Shirt" movement against the National United Front of Democracy Against Dictatorship's (UDD) "Red-Shirt" movement, political watchers have insisted that the Thai people are bitterly divided in their loyalties to rival political factions. The view holds that an old-guard elite preference for guided democracy has collided with a populist call from marginalized farmers and wage earners to return Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra to power.
