You know how I know that someone's about to say something racist? They always say, "you know I'm not racist BUT…" and then they say something completely racist. Either that or the racist person will lower their voice, cover their mouth, and say something like "those people" with a wink wink and a nudge nudge to let me know that I am in their club of racists.
Another thing that I have noticed about racists is that they are very concerned with other people's racism and especially any perceived racism against them. It's always the most racist people who are ever vigilant about non-existent things like "reverse discrimination". And no matter how many times you try to explain the concept of a double-negative to these people, they just don't get it. "Think about it for a second," I'll say to the racist "reverse discrimination would be actually privilege, wouldn't it? Or at the very least reverse discrimination would be anti-discrimination, right?" That's when they look at me blankly and then I try for the really simple, "besides, if you are being discriminated against, it's just discrimination, there's no need to have a special 'reverse' category just because you are in the group that was historically the oppressor and now you suddenly feel like you're the oppressed because other people have to be treated fairly and not racially abused."
That's how I used to be anyway. Now days if someone tries to rope me into their merry band of racists or engage me in a discussion on why they feel reverse discriminated against I adopt a zero tolerance policy and just walk away from them. I just don't have time to suffer these fools and neither should anyone else.
So, why on earth are we still suffering racism from the terraces of clubs like Millwall and Zenit St. Racistburg?
Pretending that there is no racism in England is part of the problem. It's a major reason why the FA doesn't deal with clubs like Millwall whose fans have been accused of racist chants no less than three times, since October. Once against Bolton, once against Charlton, and now against Leeds. Three times in five months? Isn't England the most watched country on the planet? Don't you have cameras on every street corner? Don't you abhor racism so much that it's a crime to use a racial epithet? Why did it take a SkySports "special investigation" to get these racists banned from the terraces? If the club and the FA truly cared about banning racism, they would have dealt with this problem years ago. But they didn't and that's how racism in football is still alive and well, because the clubs and the governing bodies don't really care.
And Zenit. I'm not really even sure how a football team, where the manager can say that he openly discriminates against black players, can have a license to play in Europe. I'm sorry but any team which openly discriminates and which has a fan base that has been fined so many times for racist abuse that I've actually lost count should play in their own racist league of racist teams but be denied entry into Europe.
And that's why I'm actually happy that Liverpool complained about Zenit prior to the match. Of course, some folks are pointing out the irony that Liverpool are suddenly so concerned about racism. But I suspect their newfound concern is actually a byproduct of the shame that they were subjected to after the Luis Suarez debacle. Which is exactly how you deal with these cunts, you name them and shame them.
It's easy to make fun of Liverpool for that sordid affair with Luis Suarez but you also have to understand that they have several black players who are going to be in very close proximity to the most racist fans in all of Europe. Any team, every team I would hope, would seek protection before the match.
The ball's in UEFA's half now. Let's see how they handle it. My hope would be through tough measures. But history tells us it will be by punting.
And the FA. Sorry guys but racism is no longer just an overseas problem (hint: it never was). There's a Den of racists there, in London, a few miles from the HQ at Wembley. Maybe take a look?

While carrying out voluntary work recording official war graves I found many family memorials to casualties and thought that these should also be recorded. As many of the memorials are deteriorating from weather, vandalism etc I decided to photographically record as many official and family memorial inscriptions in the Birmingham area as I can and so the site is constantly being added to. Cemeteries researched to date are : St.Nicolas Church, Kings Norton. Kings Norton Cemetery. Lickey Hills. Key Hill. Warstone Lane. Brandwood. St Lawrence Church. Lodge Hill.
As a family historian I appreciate the importance of recording this information and for this reason further details will be given to any family historian on request to myself at the e-mail address below. To enter the site click on the black Enter shown above then select WW1 or 2 names.

The US totally got the boring name scheme.
Well done mattsz!
Then again, the manuals I love the most are the ones I have with all the greased up, dog eared pages. Still something to be said for paper.
Before I read this excellent article on fork removal I had my bike in for some other minor maintenance. Mentioned that I was thinking of changing the fork oil. The helpful mechanic at the shop assured me it was easy and he would do it for me as the front wheel was going to be removed. he then proceeded to try and removed the drain plug at the bottom of the forks. He found they were really tight so he gave the left side bolt a good wack with a hammer to loosen it. Can now hear what appears to be something inside the forks turning as the bottom bolt is turned. I'm a bit pissed off and concerned that he broke something inside the forks. Any one have any knowledge as to whether he might have broken something inside. No leaks showing and it still seems to be working fine but I'm concerned anyway. never did get the forks off and the oil changed.
Sorry if this is a daft question, but are the forks on my 2014 B5 the same as those on this C5?

Grandma Allegedly Commits DUI With Grandkids in Car
The stereotypical drunk driver is usually young, often male, and is typically driving alone or with other people his age. Rarely are drunk drivers assumed to be mothers or, heaven forbid, grandmothers.
The truth, however, is that all sorts of people are arrested for drunk driving every day. And, while young males are arrested for DUIs more often than any other age bracket, they do not hold a monopoly on driving under the influence of alcohol.
This reality was recently on display in Lancaster, California, where a grandmother of three was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol while she had three of her grandchildren in her car.
According to an article in the Los Angeles Times, 55-year-old Marie Shipley will soon make her first appearance in a Los Angeles County courtroom as she faces felony DUI charges for the disturbing incident.
Sources indicate that Shipley was arrested after driving drunk on a Monday afternoon while transporting three grandsons, aged 7, 11, and 13, from a local park.
While she was allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol, the boys began arguing, and at least one of her grandsons jumped out of the car while it was moving.
According to the police report from the incident, the boy who jumped out of the car attempted to re-enter the vehicle, but Shipley sped away, preventing him from getting back into the car. Eventually, Shipley slowed down and took the boy home after he started crying.
Shipley's daughter later took the boy to the hospital, where he had treatment for minor injuries sustained during the incident.
While this episode seems laughable (despite its potentially severe consequences), incidents of elderly drunk driving are fairly commonplace. In addition, alcohol abuse by older Americans is often ignored and untreated.
As people age, they grow increasingly susceptible to the negative effects of alcohol. This increased sensitivity, combined with the natural loss of reflexes that occurs with aging, can sometimes have serious effects for older drivers.
While a driver may have been able to drive after a few glasses of wine in his or her younger days, that same amount of alcohol might render the person unable to drive responsibly in later years.
As the American population continues to grow older, incidents of drunk driving among older drivers may become more of a public hazard.
Of course, many drivers who operate a car under the influence of alcohol at least have the decency to leave children out of the car. And, if they do drive children, they usually don't play games where the children are leaping in and out of a moving vehicle.
So, it seems safe to say that Shipley's actions, while abhorrent, don't represent typical behavior amongst older drivers.

The most recent article at my CAIVN column:
"You read that right. Legalizing marijuana for recreational use by adults has more widespread support than President Obama's administration. Pot legalization is also more popular than the recent health care bill that passed in Congress and has higher approval ratings than our handling of the Global War on Terror...
On page four of AP/CNBC's poll report, respondents were asked if they thought the U.S. should treat marijuana and alcohol similarly. 44% thought that marijuana shouldn't be treated any differently than alcohol, while another 12% even wanted less strict rules for marijuana than for alcohol- making a whopping 56% in favor of pot legalization."

IUCN Washington, D.C. and Global Island Partnership (GLISPA)
IUCN Washington, D.C. is host to the Coordination Unit of the Global Island Partnership (GLISPA). As an important GLISPA partner, IUCN agreed to host GLISPA's coordination unit and to staff it with a Coordinator. IUCN is a member of the GLISPA Steering Committee and supports the GLISPA Coordination Unit.
Visit the GLISPA website
About GLISPA
The Global Island Partnership (GLISPA) assists islands in addressing one of the world's greatest challenges — to conserve and sustainably utilize the invaluable island natural resources that support people, cultures and livelihoods in their island homes around the world. Recognizing that islands have unique and isolated natural systems and are particularly vulnerable in a rapidly changing world, this Partnership brings together island countries and countries with islands — small and large, developing and developed — to mobilize leadership, increase resources and share solutions in a cost-effective and sustainable way that will catalyze action for conservation and sustainable livelihoods on islands.
GLISPA is recognized by the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) as a partnership to advance the implementation of the CBD 2010 target to reduce the rate of biodiversity loss and the Programmes of Work on Island Biodiversity (IBPoW) and Protected Areas. GLISPA was created to help bridge local and global initiatives, build upon existing networks and programmes, and share knowledge among all of islands.
Since GLISPA's formation in 2005, countries, territories, agencies, organizations and leaders at all levels have made inspiring commitments and taken actions to protect island habitats around the world. Each commitment acts as a beacon to others, offering hope for success and help along the way. All leaders and groups committed to taking significant action to sustain livelihoods, conserve nature and address global change on islands are encouraged to join or participate in the Global Island Partnership.
Up to 2012, GLISPA will be supported by a collaborative Strategy, a small dedicated Coordination Team hosted by IUCN and a Steering Committee of lead partners to support the growing Partnership. GLISPA's focus for the next three years sees it continuing to work with island leaders and organizations on strategic initiatives to strengthen island action on critical issues, including:
- Supporting leadership and commitments to action on ecosystem-based adaptation and mitigation including the threat of invasive species.
- Integrating island conservation and sustainable livelihoods into the development dialogue.
- Supporting current GLISPA initiatives to promote successes and lessons including through exchanges and sharing of effective practices.
- Supporting the Seychelles with the emerging Western Indian Ocean Challenge—focused on adaptation.
- The Global Island Partnership is committed to continue supporting the outstanding leadership and extraordinary commitments of all its dedicated participants, and to sharing island successes and lessons with the world.
IUCN's Islands Initiative
The GLISPA Coordination Unit works closely with IUCN's Islands Initiative based with the Ecosystem Management Programme in IUCN HQ in Gland, Switzerland. For more information on the Islands Initiative please contact Olivier Tyack, Programme Officer, Islands at firstname.lastname@example.com and for more information on the Islands Initiative please click here.
The scope of IUCN's Islands Initiative is those islands, whether large or small, whose conservation and ecosystem management challenges are substantially shaped by "island" characteristics, including high levels of species diversity and endemism, openness of coastal ecosystems to land-based impacts, competition by people for limited resources including land and fresh water, and vulnerability to external forces, both natural and human-induced. The Initiative is thus not solely focused on Small Island Developing States, but looks more broadly at the qualities and issues that islands share regardless of their size or political status.

Rare albino turtles hatch on Vamizi Island
Even after long years of nesting monitoring, there are still things that surprise us all. For the first time on Vamizi Island in Mozambique, on the turtle monitoring project that started over 10 years ago, four albino green turtle hatchlings were found on the island's most successful nesting beach, two of which were still alive. What was even more interesting about these hatchlings, was their red eyes (lack of pigmentation), a common consequence of albinism. …

Dental Care
Why is dental care before pregnancy important?
Should I be drinking fluoridated or unfluoridated water?
Why is dental care before pregnancy important?The health of your teeth and gums, also called dental care or oral health, may possibly affect the growth and development of your fetus.
It is important to brush and floss your teeth to prevent gingivitis. Gingivitis, a gum disease, and other oral infections can lead to poorer maternal nutrition due to pain or discomfort while eating. More importantly, studies show that gum disease and oral infections can increase your risk for premature birth and low birthweight babies from either preterm labor or premature rupture of the membranes (meaning your water breaks early).
If you think you might be pregnant and have an appointment with your dentist or if a dental emergency arises, be sure to tell your dentist that you might be pregnant or that you're planning to get pregnant.
It's a smart idea to tell your dentist about your plans to become pregnant so you can schedule any special work, treatments, or X-rays before you conceive. As a rule of thumb, dentists prefer to do only emergency and routine hygiene/cleaning procedures on pregnant women. But, some dentists may fill cavities as well.
You will want to avoid X-rays if you think you might be pregnant even though dental X-rays (especially those taken with newer machines) don't send out large amounts of radiation. If X-rays are necessary, be sure your dentist always covers you with a lead apron for protection.
Should I be drinking fluoridated or unfluoridated water?Fluoride helps prevent cavities. Therefore, to reduce the likelihood that you'll have to be treated for cavities or gum disease during your pregnancy, it's a smart idea to get some fluoride into your system on a regular basis before you become pregnant.
You have a number of choices of fluoride sources. You can get your fluoride through your tap water (depending where you live -- it varies by state), fluoridated bottled water, or by using a fluoride rinse or fluoridated toothpaste (twice a day).
Your dentist can tell you if you're getting enough fluoride.

It's tough to laugh at Te'o punch lines
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The punch lines were rolling on Thursday.
And my favorite, tweeted by Seth Meyers:
Somehow, though, it feels uncomfortable to laugh.
Because whatever the truth might be, a 21-year-old kid is taking the punches.
Don't misunderstand. As a sports writer and journalist who has been around the proverbial block, I'm more cynical of Te'o's role in the purported hoax than most.
When you see someone glowingly portrayed as the Notre Dame linebacker, always, always take it with a grain of salt. None of us are saints. If you want to worship saints find those named Christopher, Gabriel, Joan of Arc and Francis of Assisi.
Likewise, no saints are named Jack Swarbrick. Perhaps the Notre Dame athletic director is satisfied with his school's findings on the Te'o, well, affair. But the rest of us understand the AD is also looking out for his behind as well as the reputation of the school.
Soon enough the complete unadulterated story will surface.
Many of us have some of the same basic questions. Why would Te'o ever call a woman he'd not met or spent quality time with his girlfriend? As a star football player, why not date - for real? Why didn't one journalist, including the television networks covering the national championship, track down the girl, her parents, etc.?
And, of course, the most basic of basic questions: Did Te'o perpetuate or keep quiet on purpose to help his Heisman Trophy candidacy and football career?
If the answer to the last question is yes, Te'o will be scorned for years, if not forever. And his words alone, his statements, won't answer that question. Those who continue to follow the bizarre, twisted story will come to their own conclusion.
But the jokes, the punch lines are coming at the expense of a kid fresh out of college.
That's what makes me uncomfortable. Sure Te'o has been spoiled. By the school. By fans. By the press.
Those who follow my column know I wasn't high on Te'o's play. He was not - and the national title game proved me correct - one of the nation's top few players. He was a fine linebacker on a very good team. But he entered the championship game as the nation's No. 59 tackler. He was not on my Heisman Trophy ballot. Jadeveon Clowney of South Carolina was my pick and, after he made Vincent Smith look like a Rock 'Em Sock 'Em robot in the Outback Bowl, I feel at peace with that.
So Te'o might be spoiled. He might have been on a team for which I never cared. He certainly was overhyped.
No one, however, at age 21 is ready for the blowback of a story like this.
At that age, most of us were feeling our way, looking for a job, trying to find an apartment. We were like colts wobbling away.
If you're older, remember yourself back then. Then imagine yourself dealing with the entire nation's white hot stare, the Internet's evisceration.
Te'o is entangled in a public firestorm that no other 21-year-old has ever experienced.
Whether he brought it on himself or not, we'll see.
But it's tough to laugh when a kid's well being is on the line.

When you are working with foreign CAD or ECAD data, such as files in the STEP, GDS, or IGES file formats, or any of the other supported formats, you may think that you need to re-import a new CAD file and start your modeling over from scratch if you want to study a change in size or shape. But, in fact, you can modify the geometry that you've imported with some clever usage of the Deformed Geometry interface in COMSOL Multiphysics. This model demonstrates how to do this.

The 2012 AMSOIL Great American CT Tour - ColoradoWritten by on October 1, 2013 Two awesome pavement tracks in the shadow of the rockies
Having made the run from Wisconsin all of the way west to western Montana, we were thrilled to arrive in the Flathead Valley, home of the Montana Raceway Park speedway. Just to the east lies the Glacier National Park and some of the most beautiful country we've seen so far.
We combine our coverage of the G.E.T. Rich 212 race at MRP with our visit to Colorado National Speedway, which we actually attended some three weeks later. I wanted to talk about the asphalt side of our Tour in the same issue, just like I combined dirt tracks last issue.
I had heard a lot about both of these speedways for some time before actually coming to them. Although I had been to Colorado to race at Pike Peak Int. Raceway, I never made it to the famous CNS track north of Denver. And I had corresponded with a MRP racer and heard lots of good things from my friend Dick Anderson about that track.
This whole western part of our trip will distinguish itself from the Midwest tracks somewhat. Although there was much to learn back east, the passion I saw in the tracks strung out along the Rocky Mountains was no less intense. So, let's get started.
Montana Raceway Park
Located in Kalispell, Montana, MRP is a jewel of a track. It is not only a good looking facility having been built just 12 years ago in 1990, but it lies in a valley that is surrounded by mountains. Just standing in the pits and looking around at the distant vistas almost takes your breath away.
And we had some time to take a day and travel into, through and around the Glacier National Park. If you decide to take in a race here, be sure to plan an extra day or two to explore. It will be well worth it.
Marie AuClaire was the track manager here for our visit, just like she had been when her parents built and ran the track before selling it to the new owners a few years back, the Thornton family. Giles Thornton's grandparents were the buyers and he races his Late Model here too. Unfortunately, they passed away and the race we were attending was a tribute to Giles grandmother, Gertrude, hence the initials, G.E.T. for Gertrude E. Thornton.
This race not only paid well, $8,000 to win, but the top three finishers were also given 14K gold 1-ounce bars with the name of the race imprinted on them. Once the race was over, all of the participants were lined up on the front stretch and paid in cash by armed Brinks–type guards. These armored car guys also handed out the gold.
The turnout was not what the track had expected due in part to them having one of their bigger races of the year, the Montana 200, just a few weeks before. And, this track is a long way from other tracks and getting teams to travel in this economy is not easy.
Nonetheless, this was a good show and plenty of fans were in attendance. The track spared no expense in putting this on, even hosting a buffet luncheon complete with china dishes and silverware.
We were asked to place our Tour motorhome inside the grandstand gates, right behind the main grandstands and next to the concession stand. I had run through some rain on the way out west and had not been able to find a truck wash before pulling in to the track. So, I had to hand clean the entire bus with a few cloth towels and a bottle of 409. It worked great.
The track itself is about 3/8-mile in length and banked 12 degrees in the turns. It was a bit of a tricky track due to the way it was shaped. It was how a particular car ran their line that determined how well the lap went. And there were distinct transitions from the exit of the turns onto the straights. Having the right shock package would help the car maintain bite and I saw more than a few cars having trouble in this area.
As with most long races, the most consistent handling car was the first to the checkered flag. Several cars were indeed fast, but got caught up in trying to pass too aggressively and ended up having to make their way through traffic time and time again.
Young drivers should not get too disappointed when sent to the rear, they should instead see it as an opportunity to learn how to pass and advance. Where else is that valuable experience going to come from? I have seen very good racers go to the rear and not complain. They have the confidence to be able to come right back to the front.
I just saw on the MRP website that Rick Crawford will be the new promoter/manager for the track for the 2013 season having most recently managed the Mobile Speedway. I'm sure Rick will do a great job and it's refreshing to see a veteran racer run a race track. I really believe he will have a much better perspective for the point of view of the most important element of short track racing promotion, the race teams themselves.
Colorado National Speedway
I have consulted with some of the top racers at this NASCAR sanctioned track over the past 15 years and had always wanted to come out here. I love Denver, the Rocky Mountains, and snow. Although I wouldn't see much of the latter, I would spend about three weeks in the Fort Collins KOA, ride the mountain trails in my Jeep Wrangler, play some golf, and enjoy a bit of a break after our hectic Wisconsin run.
I made four trips out this way in the early '90s staying in Beaver Creek, Frisco, and Leadville with friends from Florida who had moved out here. I almost moved myself, but lost out in a family vote. But I never forgot the feeling of those tall mountains. It was good to be back.
From CNS, you can see past the front range and into the peaks of the Rockies. We were greeted by Jim Nordhougen, the track owner/manager/promoter. He proceeded to tell us all about his passion for this track and how he had made many improvements in the operation over the past few years.
What he came up with included two wide restarts (as opposed to the traditional single-file restart) where the leader chooses which side, a separate starting line before the finish line (so, there could be no jumping the start), special events not racing related such as a monster truck only show, qualifying three at a time to cut down on the length of the program (easily done using the transponders), separate fast dash races, one for the quickest half of the field and another for the other half, and a chain X race where three cars are chained together and race in a figure 8 layout.
He proceeded to tell us all about his passion for this track and how he had made many improvements in the operation over the past few years
In the dash races, the "less than fastest half" race provides a winner who normally does not run up front and or win feature races. And, after winning this dash, they are automatically included in the draw for pole of the feature event. So, this sub-winner gets cash plus a trophy plus could end up starting on the pole for the main event. How cool is that?
Jim also caters to local businesses by providing an exclusive area with a full bar, tables, food and comfortable seating. It gives companies a chance to entertain clients, provide fun for valuable employees, and added value for being a track sponsor.
The track was a 3/8-mile oval with medium banking. It has a couple of severe dips that pretty much exclude any bumpstop or coil bind setups. The transitions are just too much for that. So, conventional setups rule out here.
The ones who ruled the top two classes, at least on this night, were Bruce Yackey in his Late Model and a Grand American Modified prepared by David Gee. Coincidentally, or not, these two are partners in G.A.M. (Greely Automotive Machine) engines, builders of high performance motors for all types of competition.
On a tricky track like CNS, a lot of things must be taken into consideration. Experience in driving this track counts a lot, but chassis preparation is everything. Along with the difficulty of driving the correct line comes the necessity of keeping the car under you, or keeping the four tires attached to the asphalt.
The cars that did well here were the ones that had good shock packages, great balance, and were looked after as far as the basics of alignment. I saw more than one car fade quickly after a fast start, a sure sign of an unbalanced setup.
Jim doesn't crowd the show with too many classes. There are three stock car classes plus the chain race. This keeps the event to a comfortable length and allows families a chance to get home at a decent hour. Too many tracks crowd too much racing into a Friday or Saturday night and overrun the curfew. Kids have a shorter attention span than adults and if you expect to draw whole families, you've got to keep the program inside a certain time frame or risk losing the interest of the front gate people.
Experience in driving this track counts a lot, but chassis preparation is everything
Now that we have completed our stay in the Denver area, we head south down I-25 toward New Mexico where we will stop at the I-25 Speedway in Pueblo, Colorado. Thereafter, we will be staying for a spell in Raton, New Mexico before moving to our most southerly destination, Albuquerque and the NAPA Speedway. Both of these tracks have lots to offer and the extent of the various racing acativities at NAPA will amaze you.

Montana Raceway Park hosted the G.E.T. Rich 212 race that offered a gold bar to the top three finishers as well as a cash prize of $8,000 for first place and a $50,000 total payout.Our Tour bus was prominently displayed right in the fan area behind the grandstands. We arrived with a dirty bus after having driven through rain on the way there. With no truck washes nearby, I hand washed the entire bus with cotton towels and a bottle of 409.This car was covered in fake snow I guess. It was good camouflage for Anchorage, Alaska. The Glacier National Park was just east of where we were, so snow is not out of the question around here.For entertainment purposes, the track ran a chain "X' race where three cars are chained together, a driver in the front with no brakes, an empty car in the middle and another driver in the rear car with brakes. They go in a figure 8 and if you think regular figure 8 is exciting, you've gotta see this. It was fun and they did go fast.I like to see many different classes and the Legends and late model trucks are gaining popularity across the country, as is the number 3 shaped like Dale Sr.'s number.We were on the lookout for Smokey's Chevelle and we think we've found it. I have seen a half dozen Smokey Yunick look-alike cars since I have been on this Tour over the past three years. Combining the first three years, my wife and I will have been living in the motorhome for an entire year and logged over 35,000 miles.

Peter Thomas Roth's passion for skin care is derived from his quest to find effective products to treat his own personal skin care concerns. Initially his primary issue was acne and as time went on anti-aging issues as well. His interests eventually grew into a desire to find the best tools to combat acne, the many signs of aging, as well as protecting the skin from sun damage. His mission: to combine effective and potent ingredients with advanced technology.
As the first generation child of Hungarian parents, skin care is an inherent part of Peter's heritage. During the 1800s and early 1900s, Peter's family owned and operated two spa resorts in Hungary. When Peter launched his company in 1993, he started with the basic soothing and healing philosophies of the many muds and minerals found in Hungarian thermal springs. While still giving credit to old-school remedies, Peter now uses the latest innovative and effective ingredients to improve on the formulas blending old Hungarian philosophies with 21st century skin care technologies to create effective skin care that does what it promises to do!

The product line currently consists of a comprehensive range of over 100 products sold world-wide. The Peter Thomas Roth line was created to be customized to an individual's skin care needs, to covers all skin types and addresses all skin care concerns from head to toe.
Years in the spa industry have made Peter Thomas Roth keenly aware of what people are looking for when they try daily skin care products. When using topical formulas, everyone wants to see real results that make a lasting difference in the health of their complexions. At the same time, there is always a sense of urgency when it comes to improving the appearance of the skin, as nobody wants to live with blemishes, fine lines, dark under eye circles and other imperfections one day longer than necessary. That's why Peter Thomas Roth products are made to produce swift improvements that greatly enhance the look of the skin while providing nourishment and therapeutic ingredients that lead to significant gains in skin health over time.
From primers that quickly firm and tighten the skin to make wrinkles temporarily less visible to foundation products that even out skin tone while providing the tissue with revolutionary complexes to address the underlying causes of imperfections, the Peter Thomas Roth skin care collection includes a unique selection of cosmetics enriched with therapeutic ingredients. By combining skin care science with makeup, the brand makes beautifying your complexion today and tomorrow a much simpler task.

On Friday, November 30, at 9 am, Pacific Time, "All About Money" returns to KZYX with leading economist and progressive, JAMES GALBRAITH, to talk about the reasons why the "fiscal cliff" is a scam. Stripped to essentials, the fiscal cliff is a device constructed to force a rollback of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, as the price of avoiding tax increases for the rich and disruptive cuts in defense spending.
Broadcast is heard at 88.1, 90.7, and 91.5 FM in the Counties of Mendocino, Lake, Sonoma, Humboldt in northern California, We also stream live from the web at www.kzyx.org.
Galbraith holds the Lloyd M. Bentsen Jr. Chair in Government/Business Relations at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin. His latest book is "Inequality and Instability: A Study of the World Economy Just Before the Great Crisis," (Oxford University Press, 2012.)
Galbraith recently wrote the piece "Six Reasons the Fiscal Cliff is a Scam," which states: "Stripped to essentials, the fiscal cliff is a device constructed to force a rollback of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, as the price of avoiding tax increases and disruptive cuts in federal civilian programs and in the military. ... Is there a looming crisis of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, such that these programs must be reformed? No, there is not. Social insurance programs are not businesses. They are not required to make a profit; they need not be funded from any particular stream of tax revenues over any particular time horizon. ...
"Would the military sequestration programmed to start in January be a disaster? No, it would not be. Military spending is set in any event to decline – and it should decline as we adjust our military programs to our national security needs. The sequester is at worst harmless; at best it's an invitation to speed the process of moving away from a Cold War force structure to one suited to the modern world. ...
"Would the upper-end tax increases programmed to take effect in January be a disaster? No, they would not be. There is no evidence that the low tax rates on the wealthy encourage them to spend or invest, no evidence that higher tax rates would deter the spending and investment that they might otherwise do. ...
"Would the middle-class tax increases, end of unemployment insurance and the abrupt end of the payroll tax holiday programmed for the end of January risk cutting into the main lines of consumer spending, business profits and economic growth? Yes, over time it would. But the effects in the first few weeks will be minimal, and Congress could act on these matters separately, with a clean bill either before the end of the year or early in the new one." http://www.alternet.org/economy/6-reasons-fiscal-cliff-scam?paging=off
Galbraith also wrote the book "The Predator State: How Conservatives Abandoned the Free Market and Why Liberals Should Too," and a new preface to "The Great Crash, 1929," by John Kenneth Galbraith.

Perhaps. It's obvious that the Pats preferred the potential of the 27 year old Danny Armendola, over the proven production of the 32 year old Wes Welker. This is a huge gamble, to be sure...magnified even more that Welker will join perhaps the Pats' greatest AFC rival, the Denver Horsefaces: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/03/13/pats-pay-amendola-a-lot-more-than-they-offered-welker/
Folks...losing Wes in the manner that the Pats did is somewhat of a shock. But, the Pats success or failure in this off-season will be determined by whether the Patriots can fix their defense...and transform it into the intimidating, turnover creating unit, that it was during the championship years.
With this in mind, what must be done?:
1.) Sign SS Bernard Pollard: Pollard was released by the Ravens today...mainly because he lashed out at ownership for their decisions to trade WR Anquan Boldin for a song, and their perceived lackadaisical efforts in retaining Ed Reed, Dannell Ellerbe, and Paul Kruger. I know...Pats' fans hate Pollard. But, isn't he just what the team needs? An intimidator in the secondary, which the Pats haven't had since the days of Rodney Harrison? Pollard is only 28 years old, and was scheduled to earn only around $3mil, in 2013. If nothing else, his signing will prevent this "Patriot Killer" from committing more mayhem in a Miami Dolphin uniform: http://boston.cbslocal.com/2013/03/13/patriots-should-no-must-sign-bernard-pollard/
2.) Sign CB Aqib Talib: The Pats "D" was noticably better when Talib joined the team in mid-season. It can be argued that the real turning point in the playoff loss to the Ravens was when Talib pulled a hamstring, and had to leave the game. Thereafter, Anquan Boldin, who had to that point been completely shut out by Talib, went wild.
3.) Sign CB Sean Smith: Smith is a 25 year old, 6'3" CB...who has shut-down CB potential: http://blog.masslive.com/patriots/2013/03/report_new_england_patriots_am.html
Guys...free agency is not the cure all. But, if the Pats were able to bag these three DBs, their secondary would be markedly improved.

|Other names
The mallorn (pl. mellyrn[1]) was a kind of large tree growing in Valinor, Númenor and the Westlands.
Mellyrn are described as similar to birches: their bark was smooth and silver-grey, and the leaves turned golden in autumn. The golden leaves remained on the tree through the winter and fell to cover the ground in the spring, when new leaves sprouted, which were green on top and silver underneath, and golden flowers bloomed on the branches.[2] Frodo Baggins explained that he could feel the life of the tree when he touched a mallorn in Lothlórien.[3]
Mallorn-trees originally grew in Valinor and from there were spread to Tol Eressëa by the Elves once the Lonely Isle was moved to its final position by Ulmo. The Elves of Tol Eressëa brought mallorn-trees to the Men of Númenor and they grew on the shores around the Bay of Eldanna in that land.[2] Even Tar-Aldarion, the great Ship-King, did not cut down these trees.
Mallorn-nuts were given by Tar-Aldarion to his friend Gil-galad, the Noldorin King of Lindon. The mellyrn did not grow in Lindon, but Galadriel took some nuts with her to Lothlórien, where they grew to immense heights (but not as great as the groves of Númenor).[2] Lothlórien became known as the Golden Wood because of them.[4]
Caras Galadhon, the city of Galadriel and Celeborn in Lothlórien, was built in the branches of huge mallorn-trees. The Fellowship spent the night in a flet (a sort of platform) in a mallorn-tree nearby, and were later given lembas wrapped in mallorn-leaves.[5]
Galadriel gave Samwise Gamgee a box of soil containing a single silver mallorn nut.[6] After the War of the Ring and the Scouring of the Shire, Sam planted the nut in the Party Field where the Party Tree had stood before its felling. It was the only mallorn-tree in Middle-earth outside of Lórien. When the tree bloomed in the next summer it was said that all the Shire became golden from the flowers.[7]
The word comes from malt ("gold") and orn ("tree"). In Gondor Sindarin the same word was pronounced Malthorn.[8][9]
Malinornë is the Quenya translation of Mallorn.[10]
Uses outside the Legendarium
By 1956 Tolkien had been informed about "a new house far away [that] has been called The Mallorns" — regrettably, Tolkien noted, as the correct Sindarin plural would be mellyrn.[1]
Mallorn is also the journal published by The Tolkien Society.
Portrayal in adaptations
- Mallorn trees are the core buildings in the elven faction, as they produce resources needed for constructing buildings and recruiting troops. When a mallorn tree reaches level 3, a tower is automatically constructed atop of the tree, where an elven archer is placed.

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Got the pink and love the look, very pretty and functional top. Have used it for several Tri training sessions with the club and also a recent Sprint distance Tri.
It is nice and light, breathable, and durable. And comfortable.
Only downside is that the bra is not super supportive. It's adequate for my B-cup size, but I have owned previous Sugoi Tri tanks that were much more supportive.
I don't think I could use this on anything longer than a Sprint distance. The bouncing on longer runs would bug me.
If my boobs were bigger, this would only be useful for swimming and biking.
And remember,most fabrics stretch and are looser when wet.
Kind of cheap
This would have been a great option if they had used a better fabric choice. I ordered this in white as well as the pink and both were so thin you could see through them. The fabric was also quite stiff and felt very inexpensive. I could see this chaffing in the seams, although I cannot testify to this since I was not bold enough to wear them. I liked how you could adjust the zipper for ventilation and I loved the fit and style. If they would re-create and upgrade this with a better fabric option as well as larger pockets, I would definitely pay more for it.

Earlier this month, Ludacris revealed during an interview that he receives a percentage of the profits from 2 Chainz's solo projects, adding that he still collaborated with Chainz and that he was proud of him.
While 2 Chainz didn't take offense to the statements, it appears that some around him did.
"I mean it didn't bother me, but I think it bothered people around me," said 2 Chainz in an interview with Power 105.1's Breakfast Club.
2 Chainz admitted that he had to pay money to leave Ludacris' Disturbing Tha Peace label, where he record as Tity Boi from 2002-2010. "For the most part, people probably want me to say or do something negative, so I don't. Truth of the matter is, I been wanting to leave the label, when I left, I guess they knew or had some type of vision that I wasn't gonna stop there, because I was turnt up when I left and I told them, so yeah I had to pay to leave.:
2 Chainz said the deal will work in his favor. "I don't even know who else is on the roster of DTP, but the amount of money that I paid them is not gonna balance out my trajectory."
2 Chainz then specified that he paid $100,000 to get off the label, and that, ultimately, his experience on DTP was a learning experience. "I learned a lot from the previous situation I was in. It is what it is. I learned it a long time ago when dealing with that situation that there's really no such thing as loyalty out here."
In the end, Chainz holds no ill will towards Luda. "For me, I don't have anything negative to say. ...Actually, [Ludacris] was the first person to give me a bank account. I didn't even have a bank account. I just had shoeboxes of money."
During his time on DTP, Chainz released two albums as a member of Playaz Circle, 2007's Supply & Demand and 2009's Flight 360: The Takeoff.

A replica of the Eagles' iconic album "Hotel California" has been made into the "world's largest record" and placed on the roof of Los Angeles' fabled Forum venue to celebrate its reopening.
The music icons' 1977 album has sold over 32 million copies worldwide and now it has come back to life with a vinyl recreation that now stands atop the California landmark.
The replica spans 5.7 acres, 407 feet in diameter, and even spins at 17 miles per hours – but does not actually play music.
The stunt is to celebrate the reopening of the Los Angeles venue, which will feature a run of six shows by the Eagles later this month.
The group is no stranger to the Forum – Don Henley and his band played back-to-back shows there in 1975, 1976 and 1979, and the bandmates returned to the venue in 2009 to rehearse for their Long Road Out of Eden tour.

Keep running the race
Q&A | Filmmaker Micheal Flaherty listens to his focus group—parents and their kids—and doesn't give up
Micheal Flaherty is best known as co-founder and president of Walden Media, which created the Narnia movies and others like Amazing Grace, but he's an education reformer at heart. Before founding Walden in 2001, Flaherty developed innovative curricula in the Boston Public School System that helped some poor students succeed.
What were your favorite movies when you were growing up? I loved It's a Wonderful Life. Another movie, The Warriors, was banned in theaters for inciting violence, but it was a modern-day retelling of The Odyssey about a gang trying to make its way back, and all the different obstacles. The Warriors got me interested in books like The Odyssey, that I never would have learned about otherwise.
How did you learn about God? It started when we tried to get school vouchers in Massachusetts and failed. I started to realize the injustice that because of the ZIP code some kids were born into, their chances of succeeding were greatly diminished. I wrote a curriculum for the Stepping Stone Foundation, because the one way out in Boston at the time for poor kids, before charter schools, was the exam schools.
These who score well on exams get in ... We had good success. I thought that's where I would spend my time, until on April 20, 1999, two students walked into their high school in Littleton, Colo., and murdered 12 of their classmates and one of their teachers. When I read about that, I was shocked and depressed. I read about Rachel Scott, the first person murdered, who wanted to go on to become a missionary. I read about Cassie Bernall, who a year earlier was into the occult and was even considering murdering her parents—and she became a Christian. I read all this stuff about a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and I had never heard that expression before, so I did what all the great theologians did: I googled "personal relationship with Jesus." Then I went to the Christian bookstore, bought a fish, and put it on the back of my car. That felt great and I did what all obnoxious born-again Christians do: I learned one passage of Scripture and I put it on everything.
Your verse was ...Philippians 4:4-Whatever is good, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is praiseworthy, concentrate on these things. Anybody who has a powerful conversion experience, the Holy Spirit just makes you completely fearless. I was trying to figure out what to do with the rest of my life and said, I've always liked movies, why don't I start a movie company?
You associated Philippians 4:4 with movies? At Columbine, the students watched Natural Born Killers over and over again before they went in. They even declared that day Natural Born Killers day. They also watched a movie called The Basketball Diaries with a scene where Leonardo DiCaprio had a trench coat on, went in with a shotgun, and fantasized about murdering his classmates. Those movies had an impact on the way these kids viewed the world.
So you wanted to make other types of movies? More movies like Braveheart, movies that celebrate heroism against impossible odds. I don't think censorship is ever the answer—shake your finger and say, you shouldn't have made these movies. We should present alternatives that are just as entertaining with just as great a cast. The problem was I didn't know anything about making movies and I flunked macroeconomics and microeconomics, which is the reason why I was an English and History major. But my roommate at Tufts College, Cary Granat …
Cary Granat, not Cary Grant ... Cary Granat, who to this day is one of my greatest friends, was president of Dimension Films, which was making the spiritual and educational classics Scream, Scary Movie, Children of the Corn 8, 9, and 10. A perfect alliance for the kind of company we were trying to make. But history and Scripture show it takes these kinds of odd couples to do interesting things.
John Newton and William Wilberforce. Yes. Cary and I wrote a business plan. We got laughed out of every venture capital and private equity firm from Boston to San Francisco. Finally, the last meeting we could afford, after throwing in our 401(k)s and everything else, was with Phil Anschutz in Denver. Fifteen minutes into the meeting he said, "I understand what you guys are trying to do and I want to support it." I said, "You're kidding." I still have the black-and-blue on my shin from when Cary kicked me under the table.
Did you have to propose specific films? Phil Anschutz asked me, "What movies do you want to make?" I said, "We have an extensive list, we've done focus groups, why don't we talk about that after lunch?" I called my wife and said, "I haven't thought it out this far: What movies should we make?"
My wife, a teacher, said, "Hold on, let me take out my reading list. She says, "Here are the books my kids love: Charlotte's Web; The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe; Holes; Bridge to Terabithia."
I went back and said, "These are the books our focus group is showing us." Those films have become our biggest successes.
How do you decide on projects? After our initial success we got super cocky and made Around the World in 80 Days: Jackie Chan, Arnold Schwarzenegger in a hot tub, you can't miss. It was a disaster. We learned to outsource decisions to librarians, teachers, pastors, and parents, people who know best. When we rely on our own understanding, that was Around the World in 80 Days and other disasters. We've been humbled plenty.
What should these Patrick Henry students take away from how you started Walden Media? Back to Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." If I didn't have that strong belief in providence I never would have gone out and thought to do this. When I speak to students, they'll say, "It's amazing you were able to start this company and you're so down-to-earth." I express a little false modesty and they say, "No, you're really unimpressive. It makes no sense that you would be able to start this company. It gives me hope." I say, "I'm glad I can inspire you with my inadequacies."
So, these students should work hard and think big? When in doubt, get in the ring. Get in there and learn. Don't doubt your own potential, but also don't be too proud and figure you deserve success or you're entitled to it. Through trial and error you have to discover what the Lord's plan is for you. Each thing is just a step in a larger part of God's plan. As Paul said, keep running the race until it's over.

Ellen DeGeneres Ad Angers One Million Moms
December 06, 2012 04:00 PM by Stephanie Gustafson
We thought the days of Ellen DeGeneres controversy were long over, but apparently, we thought wrong. The former American Idol judge is once again attracting criticism for her sexual orientation, but this time, she's dragged JC Penney into the ring as well.
Ellen DeGeneres recently appeared in a Christmas ad for JC Penney. There wasn't anything particularly unusual about the advertisement; it featured Ellen explaining the store's new button campaign to a group of elves…and making a few cheesy but amusing jokes related to the elves' height.
Despite its seemingly innocuous nature, Ellen's advertisement managed to anger a conservative watchdog group dubbed One Million Moms. This group has found Ellen's position at JC Penney problematic all along, having complained in February, "Funny that JC Penney thinks hiring an open homosexual spokesperson will help their business when most of their customers are traditional families."
After the new Christmas ad aired, One Million Moms again spoke out on what the group deemed a "controversial" issue: "Since April, JC Penney's has not aired Ellen DeGeneres in one of their commercials until now. A new JCP ad features Ellen and three elves. JCP has made their choice to offend a huge majority of their customers again. Christians must now vote with their wallets. We have contacted JC Penney's several times in the past with our concerns, and they will not listen. They have decided to ignore our complaints so we will avoid them at all costs."
We're not surprised that JC Penney isn't eager to follow this group's advice. And we're pretty sure that Ellen DeGeneres' presence in the store's ads is not considered offensive for "a huge majority" of the store's customers.

I saw the commercial for the first time tonight. I found nothing wrong with the commercial. Ellen was her usual funny self. I enjoy her humor and the fact that she is so generous all the time. Isn't that the point of the Christmas Season? Giving to others. Some people need to find important things to complain about!

"One Million Moms" equates to 20 uptight, close-minded women with nothing better to do with their time than attempt to cause problems, and get noticed. I support JCPenney BECAUSE Ellen is the spokesperson, and I'm a Christian!! Groups such as OMM seem to be Christian women who forgot what it means to actually be a CHRISTIAN. Go back to basic bible school and leave Ellen and JCPenney alone.

My wife wants us to go to JCPenney this weekend. I think that's a great idea. I'm not a huge fan of Ellen, but these OMM ladies need to get a friggin' clue.

I happen to be a mom and I think Ellen is great! People need to stop judging others because it's WRONG! You aren't Ellen, she is and what she had decided for her life is her decision to make, NOT yours or mine! Get a life and leave Ellen alone. If you don't like her, just don't watch her. If you decide to NOT shop at JCP, that is YOUR decision just like Ellen's life is HER's, NOT yours! Christians are NOT suppose to judge anyone, it's God's job! Are you God? NOT!!!!!!
Jeanne Says:

I am a Christian mother that loves Ellen. Leave her alone she has done nothing but brought humor and generosity to our world. I don't know who the One Million Moms represent, but it certainly is not me or anyone I know.
Helen Says:
December 9th, 2012 at 12:00 pm
I am a huge Ellen fan and a devoted Christian. I not only enjoy her show, but all of her TV ads; Cover Girl and JCP. Until now I'd never heard of "One Million Moms." What's their platform? What's their goal / purpose? Are they a non-profit? Are they out their trying to help their fellow man? You know, like a GOOD CHRISTIAN should. Like Ellen does every day! Or is their sole purpose to pass down judgement on others? OMM needs to mind their own business and leave others alone – "To each their own" And as long as one persons action do not cause harm to others, but out.

I think after reading this article that I'm going to go to JC Penney's and buy some clothes for my girls for Christmas. As a Mother who is Christian, I am appalled by the thoughts of this so-called Christian based organization. It's people like this that continue to give our faith and beliefs a bad name. GO ELLEN!!
Christy Says:
December 13th, 2012 at 2:21 pm
What is wrong with these people (OMM)? Ellen is a wonderful and kind human being. Why don't you protest against pedophiles or violence, for Pete's sake? Live and let live. I applaud Ellen and Penneys! Merry Christmas!

this is a followup of this thread:
My first script :)
[Working on mac OsX 10.4.3]
Well it took me some time And finally made a script to AutoLaunch zimbra @ startup.
I you want to use it: do it at your own risks.
I've not checked security issues yet and they maybe some regarding your policy as admin
I don't really know how zimbra gets launched on Other Os, but on OsX, @ least, I, have to log in the user zimbra and fire up a terminal window zmcontrol start, to get it launched.
After digging around mostly on Macosxhints.com & Apple.com I have wrote StartupItems.
Now I just power up the Mac and I can go. No need to log in, nor go in the terminal anymore ;-) I love this.
ZimbraOsXAutoLauncher StartupItems.
you'll download a.dmg file (140kb) with everything inside :
a folder ZIMBRALAUNCH and inside the script and the StartupParameters.plist file. and a Readme file to install it.
I've put it in
you may put them in :(as root)
then in terminal:
cd /system/Library/StartupItems/ZIMBRALAUNCH/
chmod 755 ../*
chmod +x /ZIMBRALAUNCH
that's it.
# to check if it's working, get a new terminal window and type :
sudo SystemStarter start ZIMBRALAUNCH
# You should see some stuff on the screen. no need to interact.
# Once its Started type :
sudo SystemStarter restart ZIMBRALAUNCH
# You should see some stuff on the screen. no need to interact.
# I've noticed that when I invoque 'zmcontrol stop', I've always some error displaying but that's ok.
# it will continue the script and restart tha whole stuff.
# it should and with :
Host macintosh.zimbratester.org
antispam Running
antivirus Running
ldap Running
logger Running
mailbox Running
mta Running
snmp Running
spell Running
Now you can reboot your mac.
Extras :
I've also made 3 executables that I've put in:
I named them:
zmautolaunch -> to launch zimbra (aka zmcontrol start)
zmautostop -> to stop zimbra (aka zmcontrol stop)
zmautostatus -> to check status (aka zmcontrol status)
I hear some of you saying what's the point if it's the same as zmcontrol ?
Well the point is 1: the same as the StartupItems,
I don't want to have to log in as zimbra to launch and check, etc
2) as I've put this files in /usr/bin so it is accessible for everyone who knows the scripts are there (you can put it where you like) and you run it as Your user account no need to log in as zimbra :-).
Now, I'm gonna to reinstall 2 or 3 time zimbra, so I can get sure I know the stuff. What I'm gonna do now that I've this scripts is that I'm gonna make the user zimbra with a UID lower than 501 so that it's gonna be invisible at login. A mac could run zimbra on it and user don't even know that it's on.
for example :
I can check with Apple remote Desktop for instance the status of the zimbra server (zmautostatus). and in case restart it(zmautostop - zmautostart).
I'm gonna do a 4th one for restartfunction.
AS I can upload here a file, I've made a .zip
instead of a .dmg (from the finder).
for those that prefer copy-paste-customise
Next post is the code that works like a charm for me.
AGAIN I ain't no programer it took some hours to get it working.
If anyone as improvments go for it.
I also Have some ideas but as everything works here for me, I'll wait a little to test further.
This is very fresh I've been testing this the half day now and as it works I post here and upload the files.
AGAIN BAckup, bla bla, you're warned.
By the way I've scanned with ClamXAV the .zip but you can still scan it again on your computer.
opening my files to cut & paste in the next post right now

I'm just trying to understand how documets are set up under zimbra.
If domain level documents have not been set up and a user has a notebook is the notebook stored in the domain wiki? How is it linked to the global wiki account? If I then set up domain level documents, is the notebook transferred from the global space to the domain?

WASHINGTON – An NFL player from the region has been arrested in D.C. and is facing felony charges.
Joe Lefeged, 25, from Germantown, is a safety for the Indianapolis Colts. D.C. Police Officer Araz Alali says Lefeged was in a vehicle that was pulled over just after midnight on Blaine Street in northeast D.C., off Benning Road. Lefeged was a passenger, Alali told the Associated Press.
Police say there may have been a chase before the vehicle was pulled over. The second man arrested was Aaron Timothy Wilson, 23, of Potomac. According to the Associated Press, the driver fled.
Officers found a handgun and an open container of alcohol in the car, according to Alali. Court records show police smelled marijuana in the car.
Lefeged and Wilson face charges including carrying a pistol without a license and possession of an unregistered firearm and ammunition.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Tuesday.
Lefeged went to Northwest High School and Rutgers University. Lefeged was signed as an undrafted free agent before the 2011 season. He has started a handful of games for the Colts as a defensive back and kick returner during his two years in the league.

Program Website:
Program Brief: English
Success Story: English
Haiti Integrated Finance for Value Chains and Enterprises (HIFIVE) is USAID/Haiti's next phase in a sequenced strategy to further develop the country's financial services sector to promote employment generation, to improve livelihoods and to boost the economy. HIFIVE's activities will specifically focus on improving the availability of financial products and services to support the expansion of agricultural and other production and the access to financial products and services in rural and agricultural areas.
Awarded in June 2009 under the FIELD-Support Leader with Associates (LWA) cooperative agreement, FHI360 is the lead organization implementing this three-to-five year, US$34.4 million program in partnership with World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU) and TechnoServe.
HIFIVE is a financial sector service project designed to encourage a dynamic Haitian economy by increasing the availability of financial products and services to its people and to its enterprises. A catalyst and a facilitator, HIFIVE will work primarily on the supply side of the financial sector to empower Haitians by providing access to innovative financial products and services with a focus on rural areas, targeting high potential value chains, encouraging Diaspora investments, supporting the use of technology while maximizing synergies with other USAID projects.
HIFIVE will improve the capacity of a core group of financial suppliers — namely strong microfinance institutions (MFIs), banks receiving deposit credit authority (DCA) support from USAID, caisses populaires (credit cooperatives) and insurance companies to design and deliver appropriate financial products to value chain participants and other bankable enterprises involved in USAID's other projects. Working with the financial institutions, technology providers and USAID's other priority agricultural projects, HIFIVE will support the development of solutions that will expand the financial services outreach to rural and agricultural zones.
It is HIFIVE's responsibility to use appropriate incentives and risk management strategies to encourage the core financial institutions to provide innovative and sustainable financial services, with a special emphasis on increasing access to financial products and services in rural areas, increasing the availability of value chain finance, increasing the use of ICT solutions to expand financial inclusion and improving the effectiveness of remittances as a development tool.
Since inception, HIFIVE has begun implementation activities including:
HIFIVE co-sponsored with SOGEBANK Foundation the Diaspora Unity Congress of The Haitian League in Fort Lauderdale on August 6 - 9, 2009. A presentation by Chief of Party Greta Greathouse and Deputy Chief of Party Elie Lafortune to Congress challenged the diaspora to become active investors in Haiti. Their speech also highlighted the new program's objectives and its planned activities to engage Haitian diaspora in support of increased developmental impact of remittances to Haiti. HIFIVE's early activities on diaspora include the creation of a Working Group on Diaspora Issues in Haiti, led by HIFIVE. The group is comprised of representatives of other donor projects, the Haitian government and local diaspora groups. Former President William Clinton (U.N. Special Envoy to Haiti) and Haitian Prime Minister Michele Pierre Louis also addressed Congress.
HIFIVE has created a Microfinance Sector working group on ICT solutions to encourage dialogue among sector participants on their priorities and to encourage the development of common solutions.
HIFIVE launched its Innovations in Finance lecture series on September 28, 2009, with the presentation of the results of USAID's 2008 Census of Microfinance in Haiti.
HIFIVE has designed the HIFIVE Catalyst Fund, a US$22.5 million grant fund. Grants from the fund will help partners:

First and foremost, I apologize if this is a duplicate. I couldn't find anything similar when I searched. Anyway, on with the show:
I only have one public IP address. On the server it is assigned to, I run Zimbra Network Edition. I also have Apache running without SSL. I'd like to enable SSL so that I may run SVN through it. I found a guide on how to reconfigure Zimbra to a different SSL port and then reconfigure Apache to redirect traffic for the mail server to that port.
When that was all said and done, Zimbra worked perfectly through a web browser. It would not work via an Exhange setup on an iPhone or an Android device. It indicated that it could not connect to the server.
Looking at my zimbra logs, the connect never seems to actually make it to the Zimbra server. Nothing in the Apache logs indicate an error. The phone does not provide any valuable logging information.
Here is my Apache config:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName svn.myserver.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/test
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName svn.myserver.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/ssl
SSLEngine on
SSLOptions +StrictRequire
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem

I'm completely stumped by this. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you for taking the time to help me out.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA)-- The defense in the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse trial is scheduled to begin on Monday. This week, a handful of young men testified on behalf of the prosecution, claiming Sandusky repeatedly abused them sexually.
Those testimonies have many asking why sex abuse victims would allow themselves to be re-victimized time and time again. Now, a sex abuse survivor is offering perspective.
Mark Serrano is regarded as the first clergy abuse survivor to publicly break a gag order in a church settlement and come forward with details of his abuse.
Serrano said the reason that victims are hurt repeatedly by their attackers is because they feel trapped.
Serrano said, "A predator like that is very skillful, very patient at stripping away the instincts from the victim."
According to him, rewards like gifts and good praise can fool victims into thinking they are trapped.
He said , "The kid just doesn't know that he should call the cops, because the perpetrator has convinced him that this is their secret. This is something special. This is just for them."
That's what he said happened to him when his priest molested him. Jerry Sandusky is accused of doing the same to his accusers.

I've been making these for a while, but with a significant addition: instead of thick slices, I refrigerate the roll-ups overnight so they're easier to slice them thinner, less than 1/2". Then I lay the slices on a baking sheet and heat them at 350 for about 15-20 minutes. They're a hit at every party and always requested! I also use the hot salsa to give them more of a kick. Irresistible!
I made this double recipe for this party, comepetly done. I think this is recipe worth it.

Various observations on the platinum coin
Various observations:
Obama will never go the platinum coin route because his whole plan has been to manufacture these fake budget/debt crises and then use them to justify gutting the safety net programs like Social Security, leaving more for him and his to loot from the budget.
The conservative and liberal backlash to minting such a coin would be greater if it were $25 billion than $60 trillion. $60 trillion would be a fait accompli. $25 billion would energize opposition to prevent further platinum coin seigniorage before it eliminated the current debt based system with all its subsidies.
The real stumbling block would be if Bernanke refused to accept the coin. He is obligated to under the law:
Nothing in this Act contained shall be construed as taking away any powers heretofore vested by law in the Secretary of the Treasury which relate to the supervision, management, and control of the Treasury Department and bureaus under such department, and wherever any power vested by this Act in the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the Federal reserve agent appears to conflict with the powers of the Secretary of the Treasury, such powers shall be exercised subject to the supervision and control of the Secretary.
[12 USC 246. As reenacted without change by act of June 3, 1922 (42 Stat. 621).]
and if he refused, he could be removed for cause by the President [12 USC 242]
The risk is that this could create another Saturday Night Massacre à la Nixon, but Bernanke and the Fed board would be constrained because their opposition, not the coin itself, would be what was damaging financial markets.
As for repeal or modification of the seigniorage act regarding the platinum coin,
31 USC 5112(k): (k) The Secretary may mint and issue platinum bullion coins and proof platinum coins in accordance with such specifications, designs, varieties, quantities, denominations, and inscriptions as the Secretary, in the Secretary's discretion, may prescribe from time to time.
it would still face a Presidential veto. And if the $60 trillion platinum coin were minted and deposited, repeal efforts wouldn't matter much because as you say the horse would already be out of the barn. Beyond all this, there is still the 14th Amendment:
Section 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned
The legal and Constitutional authority for the platinum coin is there. I just am skeptical that when push comes to shove Bernanke and the PTB give a rat's ass about the law or the Constitution.
