Silver Wheaton Corporation Stock Downgraded (SLW)
TheStreet) -- Silver Wheaton Corporation (NYSE: SLW) has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from buy 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 and expanding profit margins. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including feeble growth in the company's earnings per share, deteriorating net income and weak operating cash flow.Editor's Note: Any reference to TheStreet Ratings and its underlying recommendation does not reflect the opinion of TheStreet, Inc. or any of its contributors including Jim Cramer or Stephanie Link. NEW YORK (
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- SLW's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.30 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 4.75, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- The gross profit margin for SILVER WHEATON CORP is currently very high, coming in at 77.64%. Regardless of SLW's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, SLW's net profit margin of 56.08% significantly outperformed against the industry.
- The revenue fell significantly faster than the industry average of 7.8%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues fell by 41.7%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- 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 Metals & Mining industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 47.2% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $177.74 million to $93.90 million.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to $124.59 million or 50.95% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing the cash generation rate to the industry average, the firm's growth is significantly lower.

Do the Cowboys need to do anything?
By Calvin Watkins
The first day of free agency is underway and we've seen
Julius Peppers
head to Chicago,
Nate Burleson
Kyle Vanden Bosch
sign with Detroit.
What about the Cowboys?
We've been told nothing is happening with the Cowboys right now.
Is that how it should be?
Jerry Jones said the team isn't resting on its laurels despite winning the NFC East and its first playoff game since 1996. He expects the team to add to the roster, but should they?
"If an opportunity presents itself to improve in an area, then we'll be ready to move if we see that opportunity," Stephen Jones said.
The biggest issue for the Cowboys it seems is what to do with some of their veteran players such as
Marion Barber
Flozell Adams
Ken Hamlin

Lighters Or Hemp Wick
Category: Culture | Posted on Sat, October, 12th 2013 by THCFinder
Most people are aware that when they smoke weed, they get some of the residue from the butane in their lighters. This makes up a lot of what's left in your bowl after a while (resin... which is why it's not that good to smoke). Butane definitely messes with the taste of the weed that you're smoking. It's also not that good for you. To avoid getting that gross butane taste, there's hemp wick.
Hemp wick is a wick coated with beeswax. It's natural, so there's none of that butane taste because it's just a wick. It works best when wrapped around a lighter so that you can easily light the wick and hold it to light the bowl. This way, instead of inhaling harmful chemicals, you're getting a much cleaner hit. When you take a hit of some dank with wick instead of a lighter, it's amazing. You can totally taste the weed, without that sour/harsh butane taste.
By choosing to use hemp wick rather than a lighter, you're smoking healthier and cleaner. You don't need to use the lighter are much when smoking a bowl because the wick stays lit when it's passed from person to person. You're also able to actually taste the buds the way they're supposed to be tasted. There is no harsh aftertaste when you smoke with hemp wick.
While most people do use lighters because they're convenient, it is definitely healthier to use the wick. Inhaling butane has serious effects on the lungs and can give massive headaches when too much is ingested. That applies more to badly made BHO but either way, this chemical isn't good for you. Smoke healthier by using hemp wick, which can be bought at almost every head shop. I promise that you'll enjoy smoking with wick much more than a lighter and your lungs with thank you!

New Study Finds THC Can Treat Parkinson's Disease
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Sat, October, 12th 2013 by THCFinder
According to a study being published in next month's issue of the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, and published online early by the National Institute of health, has found that THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) can treat Parkinson's disease.
According to the study's introduction; "Cannabinoids such as Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) are neuroprotective in animal and cell culture models of Parkinson's disease (PD). In a PD cell culture model we recently demonstrated that Δ9-THC is neuroprotective through activation of the nuclear receptor peroxisomal proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ)".
Researchers, while studying the effects of THC on these cell-culture models of Parkinson's disease, found that; "Δ9-THC resulted in significant inhibition of MPP+ induced oxidative stress". They conclude that; "Δ9-THC induces PPARγ dependent mitochondrial biogenesis, a mechanism that may be beneficial for the treatment of PD."
The study was conducted by researchers at the Plymouth University Peninsula Schools of Medicine and Dentistry.

Medicated French Toast Recipe (AMAZING!)
Category: Recipes | Posted on Sat, October, 12th 2013 by THCFinder
This recipe takes the wake and bake to a whole new level. French toast is a wonderful way to wake up in the morning. And what better way to greet the day than with a medicated French toast breakfast? If you follow this recipe, you can have a great breakfast that gets you stoned. Plus, you can save time by completing your morning smoke up and breakfast at the same time!
What You'll Need;
Whipped Cream
4 Eggs
2/3 Cup of Milk
1 tsp Vanilla extract
Cannabis butter
Chocolate sauce
Heat up normal butter in a pan (don't use your cannabis butter... If you add too much heat, the THC will become less strong and you won't get as stoned). Separately, combine the vanilla extract, the eggs, and the milk in a bowl and mix them together.
Now take your bread and put it in the mixture, then throw it in your normally buttered pan. Cook the toast until it is golden brown, flipping it when necessary. When the toast is done, you spread the cannabis butter all over the toast. While it would be great to cook the toast on actual butter, this is the best way to get the best result of being stoned after you eat the toast. By thoroughly coating the toast with butter, you'll still get high. Now, you can add your whipped cream, chocolate sauce, maybe some cinnamon, or possibly even some fruit if you prefer. This breakfast is amazing and guaranteed to be a good start to your day.

5 Ways to Future-Proof Your Data Center for Big Data
"The empires of the future are the empires of the mind."
Unless one plans for the future, one risks getting left behind. Nowhere is this truer than in the field of computing, and planning for Big Data should be on the agenda for every organization.
According to IBM, "Every day, we create 2.5 quintillion bytes of data – so much that 90% of the data in the world today has been created in the last two years alone." However, Big Data is more than just data, but rather the insights it provides.
Nathan Coutinho, Senior Manager in CDW's Strategy Group, explains it best – "While some may think that Big Data is all hype and may go away after the next big thing comes along; they are probably not looking at the big picture. The reality is that the term Big Data really translates to analytics; information that helps you make better day-to-day decisions and ultimately keeps you competitive in a fast-paced business world. And the truth is, we can all use that in almost every industry today."
In other words, Big Data allows businesses to do something that they have been doing for some time; only now they can do it better. Considering that we live in an Information Age where petabytes of data are crisscrossing the globe daily, no business can afford to ignore the criticality of Big Data and the Information it provides.
This article by Nathan provides a step-by-step guide to prepare data centers for the challenges Big Data will introduce; while Big Data is undoubtedly an asset, the mechanism must be in place to use it optimally. The article does a good job on showing you how.

Delicious smelling soap
Posted by 5699130469703720630 on Apr 29, 2016
I love this soap, which has a subtle smell while using it, but does not linger on the body afterwards. That's what I wanted. It is an excellent soap, with a comfortable Dove-like shape, shea butter, and it rinses off easily. Overall, a wonderful soap for the shower.

Soft and nourishing
Good for my face
Posted by Nimazaki on Apr 03, 2016
I wash my face with this and now it looks nice and bright, and my skin feels sooo soft and fair!! I don't like the smell as much as The African Black Soap and Shea Butter With Lavender & Wildflowers Soap, but the effect is more important here~
Gorgeous soap
Posted by AIM-FOR-GOOD-HEALTH on Mar 15, 2016
Smells good enough to eat - this is a real treat for your skin. I really like the totally natural ingredients based on Certified organic Coconut or Palm oil and Shea Butter. Ethically Traded Ingredients, sustainably produced, no animal testing - top notch. Interestingly, Cocoa and Shea butters are known to reduce the degeneration of skin cells. (Feel free to visit my page for more reviews by clicking on my username.)
mild, moisturising soap
Posted by Reviewer1873598 on Mar 10, 2016
I used to hate how soap dried out my skin, but the Nubian Heritage soaps are amazing. We love the black soap, but this one is lovely too - creamy, sweet scented (nice soft smell, not too fruity or fake) and very moisturising.
Posted by HolisticHealth on Feb 20, 2016
I think this is the most moisturising soap I have tried from Nubian Heritage. The feel of the soap is very creamy, and the scent is like candy. Nubian Heritage has quality ingredients in their soaps. Cleanses well.
Oh the smell
Posted by 5530758139539798127 on Feb 19, 2016
i loooove it the smell the benefit of it on my skin very lovely i will order it again ..
Nice scent
Posted by SpeakOut on Feb 15, 2016
The smell is really nice and tasty, like pie with mango and lemon. Skin after use is soft without drying effect. Good big soap bar.

How is type 2 diabetes diagnosed?
If your doctor thinks that you have type 2 diabetes, he or she will ask you questions about your medical history, do a physical exam, and order a blood test that measures the amount of sugar in your blood.
How is it treated?
The key to treating type 2 diabetes is to keep blood sugar levels controlled and in your target range.
All of the following help to lower blood sugar:
- Making healthy food choices. Try to manage the amount of carbohydrate you eat by spreading it out over the day.
- Losing weight, if you are overweight
- Getting regular exercise
- Taking medicines, if you need them
It's also important to:
- See your doctor. Regular checkups are important to monitor your health.
- Test your blood sugar levels. You have a better chance of keeping your blood sugar in your target range if you know what your levels are from day to day.
- Keep high blood pressure and high cholesterol under control. This can help you lower your risk of heart and large blood vessel disease.
- Quit smoking. This can help you reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke.
It seems like a lot to do-especially at first. You might start with one or two changes. Focus on checking your blood sugar regularly and being active more often. Work on other tasks as you can.
It can be hard to accept that you have diabetes. It's normal to feel sad or angry. You may even feel grief. Talking about your feelings can help. Your doctor or other health professionals can help you cope.

text: Hi everybody, just a little background.. I am working on rebuilding and updating a mid 1980's Gitane Grantour. I am almost completely done with the project, it has a pretty decent looking rattlecan paintjob (will have to post pictures later after I put on the new decals). I have installed a new Dura-Ace bottom bracket and crankset along with new Sora STI levers, a Dura-Ace front derailleur and a Diore XT rear derailleur. everything is working perfectly so far but I have run into a problem with the new cantilever brakes I am trying to use. They are Shimano BR-550 cantilevers ( http://harriscyclery.net/itemdetails.cfm?ID=1277 ). The problem is that they rotate to the point that they contact the rim before the springs engage to provide any resistance. The brazed on bosses only have on hole in them for the spring. I am looking for suggestions for how to correct this so I can get the bike back on the road. I am considering drilling a new spring hole at the top of the boss to see what that does, I am also considering going to a different set of brakes like the Tektro CR-720's to see if that helps as they at least resemble the original brakes (Mafac wide profile cantilevers) and may work better. Anyways sorry to ramble on here but any help would be appreciated.

Rita Hayworth was born Margarita Carmen Cansino on October 17th, 1918 in New York City and attained fame during the 1940s as one of the era's top stars. In 1927, when Hayworth was eight years old, her father moved the family west to Hollywood, convinced there was a great future for dancing in the movies and that his family could be part of it. Hayworth danced at clubs and was a contract player at Fox, but didn't find success until she was signed to Columbia in the early 1930's. Even then she played only small parts until the early 40's where she finally found wider popularity in films like Cover Girl (1944), Gilda (1946) and The Lady from Shanghai (1947). Hayworth appeared in 61 films over 37 years and is listed as one of the American Film Institute's Greatest Stars of All Time.

"The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible."
Research shows assistive technology has the potential to promote learning, development, communication, and participation of young children with disabilities in social and classroom settings by allowing greater independence in daily life. The EC-SEAT project provides professional preparation in early childhood special education and assistive technology using an interdisciplinary approach.
View the EC-SEAT blog!The University of New Hampshire Department of Education will distribute educational awards funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education to 40 graduate students. This funding supports study toward a master degree in early childhood education: special needs, NH teacher certification in early childhood special education and a graduate certificate in assistive technology.
The curriculum promotes hands-on learning in community settings by partnering with local schools and agencies to integrate the iPad as a teaching tool with young children. EC-SEAT Scholars are linked with community mentors to support the learning and AT needs of young children Birth to 3rd grade. EC-SEAT scholars are prepared to become highly skilled evidence-based special educators and practitioners for early childhood centers, early intervention centers, and elementary schools serving children with special needs.
The program is designed for individuals who are at various stages of professional education, enrolled in the M.Ed. in Early Childhood Special Needs Option at the University of New Hampshire, with high priority given to applicants from underrepresented groups, including:
Interested students must have:
A sample full-time schedule of course offerings is depicted below. Courses with an asterisk (*) may be waived through transcript evaluation, reducing the requirements to 44 credits. Courses are typically taught after 4pm with some online, so enrollment is feasible for practicing professionals and full or part-time students.
EC-SEAT scholars will receive a $20,000 educational award and an iPad for coursework and teaching (funded by the U.S. Department of Education). EC-SEAT Scholars commit to working in early childhood special education 2 years for every one year of funding. Typical service obligation is 2 years.
If you meet the criteria above and are interested in applying, contact program coordinator, Carrie Portrie (information below). Applications will be accepted anytime and admissions decisions made promptly on a rolling basis. For more information about the program and the application process, contact:

Drug Information for Naproxen Tablets USPNaproxen Sodium Tablets USP (Altura Pharmaceuticals, Inc.): DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
- Medication Guide for Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)
- External Links Related to Naproxen Tablets USPNaproxen Sodium Tablets USP (Altura Pharmaceuticals, Inc.)
Carefully consider the potential benefits and risks of naproxen, naproxen sodium and other treatment options before deciding to use naproxen and naproxen sodium tablets. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration consistent with individual patient treatment goals (see WARNINGS).
After observing the response to initial therapy with naproxen or naproxen sodium the dose and frequency should be adjusted to suit an individual patient's needs.
Different dose strengths and formulations (ie, tablets, suspension) of the drug are not necessarily bioequivalent. This difference should be taken into consideration when changing formulation.
Although naproxen and naproxen sodium circulate in the plasma as naproxen, they have pharmacokinetic differences that may affect onset of action. Onset of pain relief can begin within 30 minutes in patients taking naproxen sodium and within 1 hour in patients taking naproxen.
The recommended strategy for initiating therapy is to choose a formulation and a starting dose likely to be effective for the patient and then adjust the dosage based on observation of benefit and/or adverse events. A lower dose should be considered in patients with renal or hepatic impairment or in elderly patients (see WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS).
Geriatric Patients
Studies indicate that although total plasma concentration of naproxen is unchanged, the unbound plasma fraction of naproxen is increased in the elderly. Caution is advised when high doses are required and some adjustment of dosage may be required in elderly patients. As with other drugs used in the elderly, it is prudent to use the lowest effective dose.
Patients With Moderate to Severe Renal Impairment
Naproxen-containing products are not recommended for use in patients with moderate to severe and severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance <30 mL/min) (see WARNINGS: Renal Effects).
Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoarthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis Naproxen
250 mg
or 375 mgor 500 mg
twice daily
twice dailytwice daily
Naproxen sodium
275 mg (naproxen 250 mg with 25 mg sodium)550 mg (naproxen 500 mg with 50 mg sodium)
twice dailytwice daily
During long-term administration, the dose of naproxen may be adjusted up or down depending on the clinical response of the patient. A lower daily dose may suffice for long-term administration. The morning and evening doses do not have to be equal in size and the administration of the drug more frequently than twice daily is not necessary.
In patients who tolerate lower doses well, the dose may be increased to naproxen 1500 mg/day for limited periods of up to 6 months when a higher level of anti-inflammatory/ analgesic activity is required. When treating such patients with naproxen 1500 mg/day, the physician should observe sufficient increased clinical benefits to offset the potential increased risk. The morning and evening doses do not have to be equal in size and administration of the drug more frequently than twice daily does not generally make a difference in response (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY).
Juvenile Arthritis
The recommended total daily dose of naproxen is approximately 10 mg/kg given in 2 divided doses (ie, 5 mg/kg given twice a day).
Management of Pain, Primary Dysmenorrhea, and Acute Tendonitis and Bursitis
The recommended starting dose is 550 mg of naproxen sodium as naproxen sodium tablet followed by 550 mg every 12 hours or 275 mg every 6 to 8 hours as required. The initial total daily dose should not exceed 1375 mg of naproxen sodium. Thereafter, the total daily dose should not exceed 1100 mg of naproxen sodium. Because the sodium salt of naproxen is more rapidly absorbed, naproxen sodium tablets are recommended for the management of acute painful conditions when prompt onset of pain relief is desired. Naproxen may also be used for initial treatment of acute pain (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, INDICATIONS AND USAGE).
Acute Gout
The recommended starting dose is 750 mg of naproxen followed by 250 mg every 8 hours until the attack has subsided. Naproxen sodium may also be used at a starting dose of 825 mg followed by 275 mg every 8 hours.

Belar's Sword by Joran-BelarWatch
©2011-2016 Joran-Belar
A beauty derived from the Soverign class.
A beauty.A derivate design from the Sovereign.
Escort?that's quite a misleading name.How about USS Iowa?It sound more like a flagship that way
Sorry i can not change the name. it beas the name of it's ancestor starship, a Defiant Class an i got it on my FFs for 7 years right now. Everyone woh reads my FFs will be a bit confused.
That same ship class, if I were you I would name it the Emancipation-class.
Why? I think Executor is a good name for that class.
Executor? Dude, it's Starfleet, not Terran Imperial, Freedom-class matches it anyway.
At first it is a Hommage to Star Wars and my favourite Ship in these Films. For second, the U.S.S. Escort is a tactical Command Vessel and Commandship of the 5th taktical Taskforce. In Germany we have 3 Stateorgans: The Legislative, the Judikative and the Executive. And the Escorts Mission is to Protect the People of the Federation. So, Executor. That's it.
Very sweet design, she can definitely go fast.
Sehr hübsch! Schiff und Nebel sind wunderbar zusammengefügt. Was mir jetzt erst auffällt: Im Vergleich zu den Fenstern sind die Rettungskapseln richtig riesig.
Danke dir. Das ist richtig. Die Rettungskapseln waren so gewollt. Es sollen Großraumkapseln sein, damit man nicht so viele braucht.
Neat. So is that basically a 3-nacelled Sovereign?
Nope, it is a own Starship Class. She looks a bit like the Sovereign but she is different.

Schwartz Market back among the living
No doubt, a grocery store in the former Schwartz Market would have been a welcomed neighborhood amenity. The independent grocery store closed in 2011 after more than 80 years in service to the Southside.
But there is something bigger going on there, and if Elisa Beck, one of the building's owners, (that's Elisa at right, above) sees her vision all the way through as planned, it will be certified as a "living building" by the International Living Future Institute.
Now Schwartz Living Market, 1317 E. Carson St., it is a marketplace of vendors who sell natural and/or organic products and a place for programming, including dance, talks and workshops geared toward nutrition and environmental sustainability.
Read more about it in the page 2 Walkabout column in tomorrow's Post-Gazette.

Where: Callaway Gardens at Pine Mountain, GA.
RSVP by: 15 October to firstname.lastname@example.com
The Southern Tandem Rally was held at Pine Mountain (Callaway Gardens), Georgia in the fall of 2000. Many of us found the riding and locale to be enjoyable enough to participate in the first "STR 2000 Revisited" the following November. Well, the folks who attended the "revisited weekend" enjoyed it so darn much that many of us will return to Pine Mountain again this fall. Here are the details:
Sat., Nov. 15, 10:00 start - The same route as the Sat. ride of STR 2000 including a lunch stop at (hopefully) The Ivy on Broad Street in Warm Springs, GA. Three ride options to lunch- short (17 miles), medium (32 miles), and long (47 miles) and three options after lunch - flat (16 miles), scenic (17 miles), and long (34 miles).
Sun., Nov. 16, 10:00 am - The same route as the Sun. ride of STR 2000 with options of 30, 42, and 52 miles.
All rides will start and finish at the main entrance to the Mountain Creek Inn (formerly the Callaway Gardens Inn).
Your hosts -- the Wood-Osgoods & Hunters -- have secured a group rate at the Mountain Creek Inn of $99/night + the mandatory $15 resort fee (as compared to the usual $124 + fee). The local Days Inn has quoted a rate of $63.
Saturday Evening:
Your hosts are also working on a plan for a group dinner (Dutch Treat) for Saturday evening; details to follow for those who express an interest in attending.
This is a "no frills" weekend, i.e., no fees, no T-shirts, etc. Your hosts will provide the schedule, routes, and maps. Each participating team will be responsible for making and paying for their own lodging arrangements, meals, snacks, etc...
If you are interested in attending please send an Email as soon as possible to Linda Wood & Eric Osgood: email@example.com and also let them know if you would like to stay at the Mountain Creek Inn. Linda & Eric will send those who express an interest in attending with additional information regarding the event AND a confirmation number for the Inn that will ensure you receive the reduced rate. Again, please reply no later than 15 October.
Thanks from Your Hosts

Dodge Journey Body Kits
Featured Body Kits Products
Dodge Journey body kits are additional components that can be installed to enhance and revitalize a vehicle's look. After years of driving, the exterior paneling on many automobiles starts to look outdated. Any damage to a vehicle's paint job or to the exterior parts themselves can lower a vehicle's value, making the use of bodykit is just that important. A aerodynamic kits can change a ride look prettier, without ever changing any of the actual mechanics of the vehicle.
Most stylish Dodge Journey body kits upgrades include replacements for several components, ground effects and side panels. These are the places of a car that are most typically damaged from regular driving, but these alone aren't the only pieces that can be easily replaced. Other aftermarket body parts can be used to customize a car's exterior style, so Dodge Journey body kits can often be special ordered to a driver's specific desires. For an improved look that replaces the old appearance resulting from years of driving, a high quality body kits can serve you well.

We expose slave masters and people smugglers in suburban Britain.
A journalist pays the ultimate price in Syria
27 Feb 2013 13:56 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Afghanistan, United States
Anti-US protests have been held in Afghanistan's Maidan Wardak province where US special forces troops have been asked to leave within two weeks over accusations that Afghans working with them have tortured and killed innocent people.
"These are really symptoms of much deeper issues that we have to deal with right now: The transition process, the 2014 deadline of US troops withdrawing is looming over the horizon ... the US is withdrawing after 11-12 years of involvement in Afghanistan ... all the strategies behind it are exit strategies and there is really not much that is sustainable .... At the same time we have elections coming in Afghanistan in 2014 and these elections are critically important ... and there is a question mark as to whether or not they will be effective or not, if they will be as bad as 2009 ... it might even push the country into a precarious position or a position of a civil war."
- Masood Aziz, a former diplomat
The row is further complicating talks between the Washington and Kabul over the presence of American troops once NATO's mission comes to end in 2014.
US officials have said no international troops were involved in misconduct and John Kerry, the secretary of state, has said the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) will investigate the matter.
With these allegations mounting Afghan President Hamid Karzai took a firm stand, and his spokesperson issued this statement:
"The Afghan National Security meeting made a decision and has assigned the Ministry of Defence to pull out all US special forces from Wardak province within two weeks."
Karzai has frequently complained that the US military was undermining his country's independence - particularly over the past year.
As President Karzai expels US special forces from the key Afghan province, can the US-Afghan relationship get any worse? And how could the absence of US forces impact stability, security and the upcoming Afghan elections?
Inside Story Americas, with presenter Kimberly Halkett, is joined by guests: Kurt Volker, a former US ambassador to NATO; Masood Aziz, a former diplomat who served as a senior advisor at the Afghan embassy in Washington; and Gareth Porter, an investigative journalist and historian who writes extensively about the US' national security and foreign policy.
"This is not something that is going to be solved by some reform in the system. The problem is that you have a system of special forces operations in Afghanistan that is in its essence problematic. You have a lack of accountability essentially to anyone outside the special forces structure where there is a system of incentives for the Special Forces to maximise the number of operations and the number of people that they capture or kill in those operations. They get credit for that - they put out numbers and their budget goes up."

Big Jack (edition 2010)
by J. D. Robb
Work details
Big Jack by J. D. Robb
No current Talk conversations about this book.
BIG JACK is the sequel to HOT ROCKS (which I read a few weeks ago) and takes place about fifty years after the first book concludes. N.B. both these stories appeared together in a previous publication titled 'Remember When' and a few fans seem to be a little put out by this, as I had not read that book then these two separate stories were not a problem for me.
Sam is the granddaughter of the heroine of 'Big Jack', Laine Tavish. Sam has just published a book based on the experiences of her when they solved the mystery of the stolen diamonds. Now someone thinks that Sam knows where the last stash of diamonds are and is not afraid to kill to get them. BIG JACK opens with Sam returning from her book promotion tour and discovering her friend, and house sitter, has been murdered and Lieutenant Eve Dallas is soon on the case, with her hubby Roarke and sidekick Peabody. As the body count rises the murderer, and the diamonds, both have to be found.
I enjoy the Eve Dallas stories, and the characters continue to grow and reveal themselves in surprising ways. The crimes Eve solves are gritty and gruesome, and the background rumpy pumpy and humour are a good way of diffusing the tension.
If you are a Nora Roberts/J.D. Robb fan do yourself a favour and read these two interconnected books.
This is the story which makes up the second half of Remember When. There are continuity errors in this from the previous book which threw me a bit (Somerset was still on leave in this book, but he'd returned by the end of Imitation in Death). Much more noticeable when there's a back to back listen/read.
This was originally published as the second half of Roberts/Robb's 2003 "collaboration" Remember When. If I'd known that ahead of time, I wouldn't have picked it up, but it's worth re-reading.

DIY Gold-Tipped Paper Feathers
Cheryl from Snaps of Ginger is the proud new owner of a Silhouette Cameo, and it sure didn't take her long to realize what a wonder this machine is! One of her recent projects was creating these beautiful gold-tipped feathers. At first look, you'd never guess they are just plain old paper! With the metallic gold detailing Cheryl added with paint, they look totally glam.
An Old Tray Gets a New Look
DIYers have had a heyday replicating Pottery Barn's numbers canvas. The design has been featured on desktops, drawer fronts, and even chair cushions. Like so many others, Taryn from Design, Dining + Diapers has long loved the design and used it to give an old tray she's had since her college days a new look.Taryn says, "See what a little paint and sisal rope can do? Now I'm really glad I managed to keep this tray around for so long!"
Vintage Sign with a Personal Touch
Bliss of Bliss Ranch was inspired by a vintage drug store sign to make a sign with similar styling for her bathroom. Bliss says she "just couldn't advertise ice cream so close to [her]bathroom scale" {giggle}, so she modified the wording a bit. What's really cool is that Bliss actually owns a vintage building that was formerly Sy's Barber Shop, which is the name she used for her sign. I always love how DIY allows for such personalizations!
No-Sew Antler Pillow
Aimee from It's Overflowing shows it is possible to create a knock-off pillow without a needle and thread. Aimee let her Silhouette Cameo do almost all the work for this project! All she had to do was iron the perfectly cut deer head onto a ready-made pillow she snagged on clearance at Target. As Aimee asks, "how can something that simple be that cute!?!"
Heart Tree Wall Art
On Infarrantly Creative I recently shared this heart tree wall art that I created as a baby shower gift for a friend. I love all the bright colors and modern style of this piece and think it will be a great fit for the nursery. I definitely couldn't have pulled it off without my Silhouette Cameo! Maybe it's just me, but I think Land of Nod's Love Tree and my Heart Tree may have been twins separated at birth {wink}.
Vintage Football Scoreboard Sign
As I share one of my latest projects from Infarrantly Creative, I realize that I have had some serious knock-off mania going on over there! This is another addition to the sports-themed big boy room I helped design for my 3-year-old nephew. Being a huge Philadelphia Eagles fan, my brother-in-law wanted to have a vintage-style […Read More]

Most of us have no end of things to keep up with and sort out. In fact, life sometimes feels bitty, complicated and confusing, and we don't know how to manage all the demands. Past a certain point we experience stress, feeling that we've lost the initiative. Here are some tips on finding an alternative with the help of mindfulness
1. Come back to present moment experience
Mindfulness means coming back to our experience in this moment, starting with simple, observable sensations. That means letting go, for now, of thoughts about the past and the future that can easily feel confusing. Instead, we ask, what's happening right now in my body, my thoughts and my … Read more »
A lot of people I know have experienced loss recently. Loss is particularly hard when your last words to the deceased person were spoken in anger.
I don't know whether you'll get married. I don't know whether you'll have children or grandchildren. I don't know if you'll be kind. But I know you'll die. Because that's something we all do. Death is something we often don't want to think about, even though it's inescapable and a simple fact of life.
Hence,in the Buddhist teachings, we find reflections such as this:

Those who have come to be,
those who will be:
All will go,
leaving the body behind.
The skillful person,
realizing the loss of all,
Pema Chodron was the first North American born woman to become an ordained Bhikkhuni. She teaches in the Shambhala tradition begun by her mentor and teacher Chogyam Trungpa. Meg Wheatley, who assists her teaching on this retreat, has a Ph.D. from Harvard and has long been interested in system dynamics. She is a prolific author and has traveled to every continent to learn and teach about how human systems function properly or fail. Both women have sound instruction to offer concerning how to navigate beautifully in life — this life that can only be impermanent.
The focus of the retreat is a modern-day Hopi prophecy. Ani Pema indicated that the prophecy was requested from Hopi … Read more »
In the Google Plus Community that I've set up for people who have a connection with my work (my classes, my CDs, MP3s, books, Wildmind, etc.) we discuss our practice. It's turned out to be a very supportive and inspiring community. My own practice has benefitted a lot, and as I put it this morning in a post there, "We're all each other's teachers."
Someone in the community said they'd been reflecting on impermanence, and that led me to write a few words about the various ways that I reflect about impermanence in meditation. Here's what I wrote:
I reflect on impermanence at different degrees of resolution. Here they are, roughly in order:
The other day I posted a news article about various ideas for replacing the ancient Buddhist statues of Bamiyan, Afghanistan, which were destroyed by the Taliban in 2001. One of our Facebook commenters had the following to say:
I am so grateful for the Taliban destroying these statues, what an amazing lesson in the impermanent nature of reality. The people who did this are our greatest teachers, firstly for helping us to practice patience with our negative feelings of anger and secondly to show us how attached we can become to impermenant objects.
There's certainly a traditional teaching in Buddhism of having gratitude toward our enemies for giving us an opportunity to practice patience. This … Read more »
Between November 2010 and February 2011, New Zealand, a country of 4 million people, suffered two of the biggest disasters in its history.
The Chilean mining disaster had many of us riveted to our TV screens as miner after miner was brought to safety, having been trapped underground for 69 days. This was not to be the case in New Zealand. After an explosion at the Pike River Mine in New Zealand's South Island, anxious families, buoyed by the Chilean experience, waited for long days and nights for a breakthrough that might bring their men home. None of the 29 miners and contractors survived.
Only three months later, Christchurch, New Zealand's third largest city, was … Read more »
I love you and one day I will die. I can not escape it. Death comes to everyone, including me.
Death is unavoidable; it will come to all of us, today, tomorrow, next month, next year.
Death is unavoidable; even I will die. Even you will die. Everyone we know will die.
Death is unavoidable, you and I may die before our parents. You and I may die before our children. You and I may die before our friends. You and I may die before our loved ones. You and I may die after our loved ones.
Death is unavoidable; this is the only thing we can guarantee in life. During this next year someone … Read more »
Some of us are able to acknowledge these less attractive aspects without being unduly fazed. Others tend to cultivate strategies to help hide the cracks. Yet others convince themselves that their weaknesses are inherent aberrations, with this view then becoming a rationale for indulging in aberrant behaviour. It is the last of these views that I tend to work with in addiction.
Some of us convince ourselves that we are such a waste of space that really, we should commit ourselves to a life of substance-induced mayhem or simply rid the rest of … Read more »
An astonishing series of photographs of a Tibetan "sky burial," where a corpse is cut up and fed to vultures, with the remains being pounded into dust, has been viewed almost three quarters of a million times in 24 hours.
The images (view here) are very graphic, but as Justin Whitaker says, "As a poignant reminder of the impermanence of this body, they're worth viewing."
According to Wikipedia, in Tibet the practice is known as jhator, which means "giving alms to the birds."
Sky burial is traditional in Tibet, where the ground is too rock for interment to be practical, and where a lack of wood similarly makes cremation unfeasible for people.

The truth of anything is like a mosaic with many tiles, many parts.
One part of the truth of things is that they are robust and enduring, whether it's El Capitan in Yosemite or the love of a child for her mother and father.
Another part of the truth is that things bruise, tear, erode, disperse, or end – fundamentally, they're fragile. Speaking of El Capitan, I knew of someone climbing it who had just placed anchors above a long horizontal crack when the sheet of granite he was standing on broke off to fall like a thousand-ton pancake to the valley floor below (he lived, clutching his anchors). Love and other feelings often change … Read more »
