This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

What do San Diego hotel concierges do?
The faces of tourism: An occasional series
The close relationships that concierges maintain with key players in the hospitality industry, most notably restaurants, have long fueled the perception that hotel guests are steered to businesses that offer some sort of commission or financial remuneration.
Concierges, many of whom earn as little as $10 to $12 an hour, insist that while restaurants will provide them complimentary meals from time to time to introduce them to their establishments, they will not accept any payment in exchange for recommending a particular dining spot. Rose notes that the concierge association maintains a written code of ethics that prohibits accepting money from restaurants.
San Diego hotelier Mark Dibella takes a somewhat contrarian view, arguing that investment in a concierge is unnecessary when a boutique hotel such as his can rely on the front-desk staff to come up with inventive, memorable recommendations for guests. He also remains convinced that some concierges' recommendations are tainted by the acceptance of commissions.
"Our Kimpton program at the Hotel Solamar is called Live Like a Local, so we guide our guest services staff to recommend what they would like to do personally, so it's not all cookie-cutter recommendations," said Dibella, general manager of the hotel. "We did away with a concierge three years ago, but not for any other reason than the value of what the concierge was doing for the guest was not enough of a return."


text: Froze three times. The first two times, the game continued after 3-5 minutes, but, the third time, I refreshed the browser and, although it returned me to the game, I no longer had a "seat". I didn't seem to lose any money, but I was in 2nd place out of 4 players remaining, and was bound to win at least 3rd place, so I'm pretty upset about it. I've never seen it this bad, before the last time it happened was months ago, and only for a few seconds. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening?

OKC Thunder: Games continue to sell out at Chesapeake Energy Arena
With all due respect to the title sponsor of Chesapeake Energy Arena, the word in the middle carries the most clout.
After each pulsating victory or miraculous comeback at home, Thunder team members habitually mention the "energy" they felt coming from their sellout crowd.
"It's a broken record with our crowd," OKC coach Scott Brooks said. "You know that every game they're going to be there, every night, no matter who we play. It could be the defending champions. It could be a team that has a bad record. They're going to be there."
Last week's schedule offered the entire spectrum:
*On Monday, the Thunder hosted the world champion Dallas Mavericks, who quickly have become OKC's biggest rival. A sellout was a gimme.
*On Wednesday, the Thunder hosted a hot Phoenix team that had won three straight, five of its last six and is led by one of the best point guards ever in Steve Nash. Though not a gimme sellout, selling tickets was not a problem.
*On Friday, the Thunder hosted the 14-23 Cleveland Cavaliers. Though they have the pending rookie of the year in Kyrie Irving, the LeBron-less Cavs are no drawing card. There were better ways to spend a Friday night, but fans still packed The Peake.
*Saturday brought the ultimate turnstile challenge in the 5-33 Charlotte Bobcats. Worse yet, the contest came one night after the Thunder had the audacity to lose to Cleveland. Though OKC's sellout streak appeared to be in jeopardy, another capacity crowd watched a mismatch between the team with the best record in the Western Conference against a group making a serious bid as the worst team in NBA history.
Heading into Tuesday's 7 p.m. game against Houston, the Thunder is 18-2 at home this season, which is tied with Miami and the Los Angeles Lakers for the league's best home record. OKC had won 14 straight at home before the Cleveland clunker, three short of the franchise record set in 1994-95.
"Our record is good at home for two reasons," Brooks said. "We're good, and we've got a good crowd that get's us going. There are times when we don't play well, but our crowd is never going to show disappointment too much."
Every game so far this season has been a sellout, which will make Tuesday's contest the 35th consecutive sellout dating back to the final 14 games last season.
Though this state's sports identity was built on collegiate teams, fan interest was immediate seven years ago when OKC had a chance to prove itself as a major league town.
When OKC became home to the displaced New Orleans Hornets after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, estimating how many people would show up for home games was anybody's guess.
But no one guessed the Hornets would sell out 18 of the 36 games played during the 2005-06 season at the Ford Center, which had a capacity of 960 more seats than it does now (19,163 compared to 18,203). The Hornets sold out 12 games in 2006-07.
"It was during the Hornets' time here that our community witnessed and experienced those same good feelings in a positive way to a sports team that we, at least for a time, perceived to be our own," fan Doug Loudenback said. "In a major way, the presence of the Hornets in Oklahoma City solidified and clarified who we are and perceived ourselves to be. The Thunder's presence here is simply a continuation of what had already begun."
The Thunder arrived from Seattle before the 2008-09 season and stumbled badly out of the gate. Despite a 3-29 start and a coaching change after just 13 games, the franchise still managed 18 sellouts and was at 97.7 percent capacity for home games (see chart).
The number of sellouts and capacity percentage continued to rise and likely will finish at maximum levels this season.
Last fall, despite the NBA being in the midst of a 149-day lockout, the Thunder sold out of its season-ticket allotment (14,000) and started a waiting list. At the time, the Lakers, Celtics, Bulls and Knicks reportedly were the only franchises to have sold out of season tickets for 2011-12.
Comparatively speaking, OKC ticket prices are more than reasonable.
According to the 2012 Team Marketing Report, the Thunder's average ticket price of $47.15 ranked 14th among NBA teams and is below the league's average ticket price of $48.48.
OKC also has an impact with ticket brokers. According to ticket search engine SeatGeek, the average price for Thunder tickets purchased through an online broker was $93.26 this past week, which ranked sixth behind New York ($299.98), the Los Angeles Lakers ($182.59), Chicago ($142.05), Miami ($106.52) and Dallas ($95.29).
Since the 1999-2000 season, the NBA has required every team to offer at least 500 tickets at $10 apiece for each home game. The Thunder offered 3,400 such seats in Loud City this season.
"I don't know if there is a bad seat in the building," a fan named Leah posted last week in a NewsOK.com survey, adding she purchases only the $10 ticket. "No matter what, Thunder games are fun. It's a great atmosphere. It's fun just to be there."
Thunder games immediately became a gathering spot for people to see and be seen, and it remains a hot ticket. The Thunder arrived from Seattle with the league's youngest roster and a budding star in Kevin Durant.
OKC now has the league's sixth-youngest roster and the team has grown along with fan interest.
"We have grown with this team," fan Mike Matos said. "Just the way the franchise landed here with KD in place and the draft picks. Youth, it's what this town adores."
Spectacular plays from the 23-and-under quartet of Durant, Russell Westbrook, James Harden and Serge Ibaka continually brings the crowd to its feet, but sometimes the crowd reaction comes first.
"(The Thunder) seems to have at least one really ugly stretch in every game, but the fans never give up," said Eric Pennell, 27, of Norman. "For example, during an opponent's run there will be a little dip in the action as Russ slowly brings the ball up the floor and you can hear the crowd start to build, trying to push the guys through the tough stretch. You don't see that in many — any? — arenas. Also, the 'Rus-sell' chant early in the year at the tail end of his horrific shooting slump was something out of a movie. I'll never forget that moment. Still sends chills."
The Thunder's statewide appeal has been surpassed by its national attention.
"We'll see what happens over time, but I'm still in awe that there is a major league sports team in our state," said Dale Prevett, 51, a fan from Owasso. "The Tulsa area has been slower to embrace Thunder fever, but it's growing. The Thunder are Oklahoma's team, and it's fun to have a single team to rally around. Even OU and OSU fans can find common ground with OKC."
It's almost a certainty this entire season will be sold out. A limited number of tickets can be found for some of the 13 remaining home games, and the Thunder holds back 200 tickets every game as part of its Rewards Zone offer, with registration beginning three hours before tipoff.
Opened in 2002 and built for the bargain-basement price of roughly $89 million, the former Ford Center has undergone numerous renovations. Its current $91.9-million face-lift is scheduled to be completed in May.

The over the calf extended socks stay up and have the right combination of support and comfort. They wick away sweat and keep feet cool.
Posted by Thomas on 30th Aug 2014
I am still looking for a better pair of socks, but have not found any yet.
Posted by Laura for Steve on 15th Jul 2014
These are the ONLY socks my husband wears... walks all day at work and helps support his calves... he LOVES them
Posted by Tinsley on 19th Mar 2014
I have worn these socks for 20 years. I do ice dancing 4 days a weeks. I purchase these sock by the gross. The ice skates eat them up but my legs do not get tired and the support is fabulous. The socks are good for about a year per pair. Washing/ drying simple just match them to any other sock. Boom! off you go.
Posted by Unknown on 3rd Feb 2014
the elastic does not break down like cheaper socks. as long as I can get this type of socks I'll never wear anything else.
Posted by Thomas on 13th Jan 2014
I have worn only over the calf socks for about 25 years. These are the best socks I have ever purchased.. they last so long that the elastic in the top part around the calf will wear out before the bottom of my foot does(my current 12 pairs have lasted around 10 years).. Other socks I have purchased I am lucky to get 2-03 years out of them
Posted by Unknown on 5th May 2013
They are soft, they don't make you sweaty, they reach and stay above the calf, they're good-looking. Absolutely nothing wrong here

Eleanor Coppola, Locating the 'Hearts of Darkness'
During the famously chaotic filming of Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now, another director was at work on the set: Documentary director Eleanor Coppola, the auteur's wife.
Her footage, along with cast and crew interviews shot a decade later, became the celebrated documentary Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse, which premiered on the Showtime cable channel in 1991.
The documentary, which takes its title from the Joseph Conrad novel that inspired Apocalypse Now, has been described as a revealing insider look at how stressful moviemaking can be, as well as a deeply personal chronicle of one director's battles with his creative demons. Hearts of Darkness just been released on DVD for the first time.
(This interview first aired on Jan. 24, 1992.)

text: Here is my little problem, I've wanted to fetch the packages made under studio11 that are on dvd for backup on mini dvd. Processing is done perfectly to the DVD Studio 14, but when I started the operation to create movie to tape is a disaster with blue screens, images that are offset short jump or the total. By cons when I selected any other type of output no problem. I said that I tested the case with my two camcorders, that gave me the same results. So, you can suggest me some way out of this? Thank you.

As a mother (aka busy woman on-the-go), I know how hard it is sometimes to stay on top of a beauty routine. I mean I don't sweat the small stuff. My hair is pretty low maintenance and I'm pretty lax when it comes to re-twisting. I'll often go every other wash without doing so. But I've been trying to make an extra effort to try something new whether it's a new headband, headwrap, or hat. Whenever I leave the house, I try to put a little foundation on, just to appear as if I care, because I do. And I at least make sure my toes are done every two weeks. Keeping my nails done is a challenge since my hands are always cooking or cleaning and my face and neck area are sensitive to nail polish, but I make do.
I absolutely love doing my nails and sharing them beyond Facebook and Twitter, so I decided to give myself an excuse to post random photos of my mani's and pedi's by creating a biweekly meme; Nails to the Yeah! Say it with me now. Nails to the Yeah! Hopefully it will encourage us all to pay a little more attention to our hands and feet and the photos shared will serve as some fun inspiration!
So this week, my nails looked like this (and I didn't break out into hives!). They (my nails) started to crack in just 3 days though. Pfft. I started with Zoya Loredana (Matte), and in and attempt to do this, I failed and ended up going over the matte in Wet N Wild Black Crème. Then, I topped with a coat of Sinful Colors Frenzy.
Today, I picked up Sally Hansen's Fractured Foil (Crackle), so maybe I'll feature it next w… um November 4th. Oh boy, a biweekly meme is going to get confusing, but I figured it'll give everyone enough time to pretty up in between time. I know how hectic things get especially with the holidays right around the corner – yikes!
So grab the button if you'd like, and link up your most recent mani's and pedi's! You don't have to have a blog to play, Twitpics and Instagrams are welcomed. Just link to the page where the photo(s) reside. I'm not going to demand links back to the meme, but if you have the means to do so, I'd appreciate it! And if you haven't gotten yo nails did, go handle that!
To support my blogging efforts and site expenses, I do insert relevant affiliate links into my posts. Thank you for your support.

- " People don't seem to understand that smoking inside isn't allowed! I was really disappointed that the smell of smoke lingered everywhere in this building. Location was good, staff was friendly and accommodating, they were knowledgeable and really great with tips and info. Lockers in the room required a thick lock, so bring one unless you wanna purchase one for 5 euros. My locker was stuffed with dirty bed sheets when I checked in, not cool. Bathroom and room itself were clean. Giant kitchen. "

- " We were arranged to stay in another building. our room is underground which we didn't know before. There is no reception in that building,so it's not convenience. It's not like what we expect to this hostel...disappointed. "
- 31 Dec 2015 Yi China
- " It is a little confusing as soon as you arrive, because they have two different houses and if you are not lucky you are at the wrong house and nobody is going to open the door or people who are there tell you to go to the other house. But it is really bad if you are in your room and every hour you have to get up and tell the new comes to go to the other house. Please solve this issue. Regarding all the other thing it was a nice stay, the breakfast was also good and the kitchen was really big. "

- " Make sure that you stay at Do Step Inn when you visit Vienna. The guy who checked us in was great, and happily provided a map, personally marking off various destinations of interest with a pen. The room was great, and the facilities were all very clean. We saw people cleaning every floor, every single morning. It was really close to a metro stop too, so it wasn't tough to get across Vienna wherever we wanted to go, as the metro system is very good there. Can't wait to come back! "

We didn't really talk to the other guests there, it's not a very social hostel. The staff is great, gives great advice and guidance on where to go and eat. There's a supermarket really close but it closes at 7:30pm. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others "

GREENHUT: Brown stands firm against corporate-welfare scam
SACRAMENTO ---- In much of the country, the mere mention of the name Jerry Brown signifies the otherworldly nature of California politics.
Many people in other states have come up to me and said something to this effect: "You Californians are so weird that, in tough economic times, you re-elected that retread from the 1970s."
Yet in this season of bill signings, vetoes and elections, Gov. Brown has remained the last bulwark against the truly crazy left-wingers who run the Capitol. Brown has rejected union enrichment schemes,illegal-immigrant "rights" measures and other nonsense. And, despite his troubling push for higher taxes, the governor vetoed all six bills that were designed to resurrect, in one way or another, the redevelopment process he killed last year.
Redevelopment is a land-use and tax scheme that blends Eastern European-style central planning with American-style crony capitalism.
Started in the 1940s to provide local governments with a "tool" to fight urban blight, redevelopment morphed into a centralized planning system that obliterated property rights by giving City Hall expanded eminent-domain powers. Instead of fighting blight, city officials used the system to finance sales-tax-generating car dealerships, shopping malls, big-box stores and hotels by showering subsidies on influential developers.
City councils, via their local redevelopment bureaucracies, gained the power to declare large areas of their cities "blighted" based on the widest-ranging set of criteria. Once blighted, a redevelopment project area was formed and all the "tax increment" ---- i.e., the growth in property tax revenue in that specific area ---- flowed to the locality rather than the county and state.
Redevelopment agencies would float debt and use the added property tax money to pay off the bonds that financed the subsidies that were provided to developers, who built projects directed from City Hall.
The cities loved it because they would gain the sales taxes and bed taxes from the new projects and could micromanage development decisions. Developers profited by manipulating City Hall. Property owners got bulldozed and all the government intervention distorted the market, but since when has government ever cared about that?
I wrote about efforts to take church property and give it to Costco, plans to demolish an entire neighborhood of middle-class homes so that the city could market the land to a theme-park developer, and plans to give massive subsidies to billionaire developers.
These were typical events, not aberrations. The subsidies led to the overdevelopment of shopping centers and other commercial projects.
After the U.S. Supreme Court's Kelo decision in 2005 allowing cities to use eminent domain on behalf of private developers, many states passed serious reforms that cracked down on the abuses. Not California, which eventually passed a fake reform sponsored by the League of California Cities and the California Redevelopment Association ---- the equivalent of allowing the lunatics to set the rules within the asylum.
But a funny thing happened. The economy soured and the redevelopment fiscal promises turned into fiscal liabilities. The state ran out of cash. Brown realized that he could find several billion dollars by shutting down these agencies, which operate locally but are creations of the state.
Ironically, Republican legislators who claim to care about free markets fought the governor on this one, addicted as their cities had become to redevelopment cash and as addicted as they had become to campaign contributions from subsidy-seeking developers.
Democrats, who love the central planning aspects of RDAs, went along for the wrong reasons (more money for the state and to be loyal to their governor).
Victories are never permanent in government ---- especially a government run by people who recognize no limits on their taxing and regulating powers.

SANTA ROSA -- The county of Sonoma has slowed down the process for adopting new zoning rules designed to protect 3,200 miles of streams and rivers from development and agriculture along their banks.
Based on comments received about a proposed Riparian Corridor addition to the county Zoning Code (sonoma-county.org/prmd/docs/riparian_corridor/) that would consolidate existing land-use planning policy adopted in 2008 and as well as allow the incoming director of planning and building to help manage the process, county officials have postponed a Planning Commission workshop on the matter, originally set for Wednesday, as well as a hearing set for Nov. 7.
"We received a lot of comments and suggestions," said Jennifer Barrett, deputy director of the county Permit & Resource Management Department, or PRMD. "We want to form a stakeholder group of interested parties and then go back to the commission."
Workshops on the proposed new zoning rules were held May 22, June 5 and mid-September. The last workshop had been postponed at the request of the Sonoma County Farm Bureau because of the winegrape harvest, and the group requested another one in late October for the same reason.
Meanwhile, the county Board of Supervisors on Tuesday appointed J.T. Wick as the new department director. He is set to start in the role Nov. 12.
The proposed zoning would incorporate the "streamside protection areas" of 50 to 200 feet along both sides of protected waterways, a protection adopted in the General Plan 2020 document. These areas would have "setbacks" of varying widths as a buffer to construction or agricultural activity that could let dirt or agricultural "nutrients" wash into waterways deemed habitat for protected fish species.
General Plan policy is supposed to be folded into county law, and these setbacks have been in various forms. Examples are the county vineyard erosion-control ordinance, first adopted in 2001, and in the county's grading ordinance. Local area plans also included these setbacks.
"Property owners and staff have a difficult time determining what the setback should be for a particular creek, versus what is in the Zoning Code," Ms. Barrett said.
Already required is consultation with, or permits from, state and general resource-protection agencies for activities near and in riparian areas such as digging for septic systems, shoring up banks and clearing brush.
The existing vineyard erosion-control ordinance already settles the matter, according to Karissa Kruse, president of Sonoma County Winegrowers.

All-State: Jenks' Jordan Smallwood cut from same mold as OU's Justin Brown
JENKS — Jenks receiver Jordan Smallwood saw his potential future play out as he watched Oklahoma receiver Justin Brown catch 66 passes for 822 yards and four touchdowns in his one and only year with the Sooners.
Smallwood, at 6-foot-2 and 190 pounds, is cut from the same mold as the 6-foot-3, 209-pound Brown, and it's easy to see why the Sooners quickly fell in love with Smallwood last summer.
A surprise scholarship offer came after a performance in an OU camp, and Smallwood jumped at the opportunity.
Then he went out and helped lead Jenks to a Class 6A state title, catching 48 passes for 835 yards and 11 touchdowns against constant double-teams to earn a spot on The Oklahoman's 100th All-State team as a receiver.
"When we called on him, he delivered," coach Allan Trimble said. "He drew a lot of double-teams, but he's so big and strong, he can be covered and he's still open.
"And when people played him one-on-one, he made them pay all year long."
Smallwood's strength was on display in the 6A title game, when his stiff-arm move planted a Norman North defender in the ground as Smallwood coasted into the end zone.
Brown has shown the same kind of strength for the Sooners this season, and Smallwood is motivated to step right into his void when he arrives next year.
"My goal is to go in there and start as a freshman," Smallwood said. "I think I compare to Justin Brown. He's long and lanky like I am.
"I always paid attention to Jerry Rice growing up. I know he's smaller and quicker, but I always tried to watch him and mimic some of the things he did that made him so successful."
Smallwood becomes even harder to cover because of his precise route-running skills, another quality that could help him get on the field early at OU.
"He's a physical specimen," Trimble said. "He's so explosive and can get away from people. That's trouble at any level when you've got a guy who can do that, with such long arms and a big body.
"He'll still have to grow into the sport, but he's got amazing physical talent, and a great work ethic. The coaches at OU will love him."

My "Spitalfields Life" book, inscribed by The Gentle Author arrived in the post this morning together with a little card which said:-
"Over the coming days, weeks, months and years I am going to write every single day and tell you about my life here in Spitalfields at the heart of London. How can I ever describe the exuberant richness and multiplicity of culture in this place to you? This is both my task and delight".
If you have never read Spitalfields Life , then I urge you to do so.
I so agree with the comment of a reviewer on the back of the book
This book of Spitalfields Life will do more to celebrate the people of London than all the Olympic billions.
If only I could write half as well as The Gentle Author, or indeed, Mr Longshanks Scribbler – never mind – the joy is in the reading.

The Associated Press reports on "A look at underused test in efforts to spur millions needing colon cancer checks." Excerpts:
The dreaded colonoscopy may get the most attention but a cheap, old-fashioned stool test works, too — and when California health care giant Kaiser Permanente started mailing those tests to patients due for a colon check, its screening rates jumped well above the national average.
Now specialists are looking to Kaiser and the Veterans Affairs health system, another program that stresses stool-tests, for clues to what might encourage more people to get screened for a cancer that can be prevented, not just treated, if only early signs of trouble are spotted in time.
"By overselling and overpromising colonoscopies, we've put up barriers for people" to get any type of screening, says Dr. T.R. Levin, Kaiser Permanente's colorectal cancer screening chief in northern California. …
The $20 stool test — usually handed over by a doctor, performed at home and then mailed to a lab — is considered as effective if properly used once a year. But its use has dropped as colonoscopies took center stage.
We Welcome Comments. But please note: We will delete comments that include personal attacks, unfounded allegations, unverified facts, product pitches, profanity or any from anyone who doesn't list what appears to be an actual email address. We will also end any thread of repetitive comments. We don't give medical advice so we won't respond to questions asking for it. Please see more on our comments policy.
Why has the use of the stool-test dropped? The "sensitivity" is limited to 30%, and a negative result cannot rule out colorectal cancer. If symptoms are present that suggest colorectal cancer, only a test with almost perfect sensitivity would provide adequate assuance that a neoplasm is not present.
Thanks for this. At least it gets us talking about the many different ways of screening for colon cancer. I didn't really see any evidence in the article that occult blood screening has decreased over time. Also, is it a little unusual that the article doesn't refer to fecal occult blood testing by its actual name? Just asking…
For about the last 20 years there has been no mention of the
fecal occult test. Before that, each time we went to the doctor for a physical we were always handed this little test to do and send in.
I thought it was supposed to be effective.
Does it have something to do with money?. Colonoscopy makes the hospital and doctors a lot more money.
Excellent points, Gary. Theres another missing element to the FOBT story. The RCTs that compared FOBT with usual care did in fact show a 30% reduced risk of colon cancer deaths in those who took the FOBT, but this benefit was canceled by an inexplicable increase in heart-related deaths. Our 2009 article mentions this largely unrecognized finding. See How good are colonoscopies?

Telesio, Bernardino
Bernardino Telesio (bĕrnärdē´nō tālā´zyō), 1509–88, Italian philosopher, one of the leaders in the attack on that part of Aristotelian philosophy that had furnished the foundation for scholasticism. With Bruno and Campanella, he opened the way to a new naturalism, deemphasizing theories of metaphysics and urging the importance of scientific knowledge based upon experience and experiment. He was born into a noble family and studied first with a scholarly uncle in Milan. Further study followed at Rome and in Padua. At Naples he lectured and afterward established his Academia Cosentina in the interest of more scientific methods of thought. While he produced many works on science and philosophy, the outstanding achievement is his De natura rerum juxta propria principia [on the nature of things according to their own principles] (1565–86, new ed. 1910–23). In this he regarded matter as a positive reality that has no need to look outside itself for its sufficient explanation. Out of two opposing fundamental forces (the dry-warm and the moist-cold) in conflict, he sought to produce the reason for all forms of life, great and small. These principles, unscientific by modern standards, were derived from early Greek naturalistic philosophy.

Skip to comments.McCain backs off migrant claim
Posted on 05/18/2005 8:31:33 AM PDT by Boston Blackie
"If we went down to the Camelback Inn today in Phoenix and arrested everyone whos working there illegally, the place would probably shut down," McCain was quoted as saying in The Hill, a nonpartisan newspaper covering politics in the nations capitol.
(Excerpt) Read more at eastvalleytribune.com ...
We should put McCain's suggestion to the test. Where are those INS enforcers?
If what McCain says is true, then the Camelback Inn is obviously a criminal enterprise and should be closed.
I recall during the Election of 2000 when he asked Republicans to join his team of Democrats. He said, "Join Us, Join Us."
Put a lid on it, it reeks.
So McCain the elitist cites this as a reason to let the illegal aliens stay! So McCain and his elitist friends don't have to pay more when they stay at places like this. Or make less profit for the places they own.
Shudder to think that actual American citizens could have jobs there. Why, the horror!
This is as deep as McCains thinking goes on this topic. He has absolutely no concern for Americans. Just his business buddies and their profits.
The Hill is non partisan??????? Who knew, or rather who would believe that!
And reportedly one of the two front-runners for our party's nomination in 2008. And the press likes him.
Scary isnt it!
Surely you jest. When the illegal aliens had a rally on Capitol Hill a couple of weeks ago demanding amnesty, there wasn't one law enforcement body in sight, let alone someone from ICE. They advertised that they were going to be there, showed up for the (actually pretty lame, with ANSWER selling Marxist tracts and books about Che) protest, and no one thought a little raid from the Migra would be in order. The tourists were dumbfounded.
I'm guessing the Camelback Inn management didn't contribute their fare share to McCain's re-election kitty.
I doubt he will make it. He isn't pretty and I think that's a factor. : D
I wonder if McCain can be charged as an accessory to the crime. He obviously knew it was happening and failed to report it; perhaps even encouraged it.
Ya know, it sounds more and more like McCain might have illegal help himself. His pointing to Camelback Inn sounds like that ill concieved excuse, "Well, everybody is doing it!"
And, how many illegals does McCain's family beer distribution empire have on the payroll??>
Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders!
Be Ever Vigilant!
Minutemen Patriots ~ Bump!
Did anyone notice the trailers for the new TV movie that's being advertised about McCain the Vietnam hero, residing at the Hanoi Hilton for many years? I doubt that many Arizona citizens think of him as a hero anymore. I think the movie is supposed to be a push for his possible presidential race.
If he runs he might lose his own state because of his love for illegal immigration.
Better idea, violate a federal crime = asset seizure. How long would it take if the Camelback Inn was seized for the rest of the employers to get the message?
Pour encourager les autres!
Fox's 'apology' to the US over the black workers remark was aimed at black voters in LA. Last election, the black vote went to Hahn, the white candidate. This time, blacks voted for the Hispanic...ooops, Latino candidate. NPR discussed the election this am and said Hahn had been an inept campaigner, didn't put out a positive ad about himself. LA is gone. They'll pander to the Mexican/Latino vote. Goodbye Protestant work ethic, US culture, mores, English, productivity, etc.. They'll vote themselves into a mini Mexico or worse.
Hang 'em High!
"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,
1. The act of invading; the act of encroaching upon the rights or possessions of another; encroachment; trespass.
He's the republican the media likes. That should be enough to disqualify him right there, which it is, but it's confusing because the media is'nt ever going to report that.
He looks a little bit like Ike, but Ike was tall and lean, and McCain is short and dumpy. And soft looking. And old looking, isn't he a bit elderly to be looking for a job like that?
Works for me and it's easy to understand ~ why don't the pols get it?
Be Ever Vigilant!
Let's make a Citizens Arrest!! :D
That's ridiculous... everybody knows the Indians (from India) would move right in and claim their old jobs back.
Course many of them are still employed because they tended to OWN the motels they worked at.
This will probably get removed, but wouldn't Fox have said "Negro" rather than Black? Nobody but nobody would have the nerve to translate THAT word directly.
Because they are political whores who would sell their mother or their country for power.
We have the ultimate power.
Be Ever Vigilant!
I've always told my sons that, if they are ever really desperate for a job, go down to a certain restaurant in Phoenix, stick your head in the door and yell, "La Migra!"
They'll have 20-30 vacancies immediately.
Yep, country-club 'moderate' Republicans love unskilled immigration.
And if they're not desperate for a job, do it for their country.
I wonder how he would feel if illegals were standing in front of his Central Ave. home?
I will bet that he has illegals as landscapers.
MESA, Ariz. (AP) -- Once again, Senator John McCain has to apologize for his sharp tongue.
[ http://www.abc15.com/news/morenews/index.asp?did=18610 ]
Cuff him!
Then what is he waiting for? It is ILLEGAL to hire ILLEGAL aliens!! Enforce the law you dim wit.

Ambivalent hearts may be at higher risk for heart disease, according to a new study of married couples with mixed feelings for one another.
"The most intriguing finding was that within a couple, only if both of them felt ambivalent towards their partner did you see this elevated (heart disease) risk," said Bert Uchino, a psychologist at the University of Utah and lead author of the study.
The health of both spouses "is interdependent - it isn't what one says or does; it's what both do within the relationship that matters" when it comes to heart health, Uchino told Reuters Health.
Past research has looked at the health effects of either positive or negative feelings within couples, Uchino and his colleagues write in the journal Psychological Science, but the reality of most relationships is more often mixed.
To see what effect those feelings might have on the heart itself over time, the scientists recruited 136 long-married couples. Their average age was 63 and average marriage length was 36 years.
The participants answered questionnaires to gauge their feelings about their spouse. Each person had to rate, for example, how helpful or upsetting their spouse was during times when they needed support, advice or a favor. And the researchers translated the answers into "positivity" and "negativity" scores.
Based on those categories, 30 percent of individuals were primarily viewed by their spouses as "positive" and 70 percent were primarily viewed with an even mix of positive and negative feelings, which the researchers termed ambivalent.
The scientists also measured participants' heart disease risk by using imaging to estimate the extent of the buildup of calcium in the walls of the arteries of the heart.
Cholesterol and blood sugar levels were also measured and lifestyle factors like exercise and smoking were taken into account to further evaluate heart risk.
The study team found that among couples where both spouses felt ambivalent toward the other, there was significantly more calcium buildup in the arteries. And only in those couples was the increased heart risk detected.
The other lifestyle and health measures did not explain the differences seen in the arteries, the researchers point out. So, for example, although one partner's health habits - such as exercising regularly - can influence the other for good or ill, these factors did not account for the difference in heart disease risk seen in the participants.
Feeling both positively and negatively toward a spouse may affect heart disease risk in large

Re: Teleconverter for DP2M?
Thank you for the reply! I'm glad to hear that you'd had success with this setup. I figured that since the DP2M has a significant resolution increase, than I could either shoot full resolution at 45mm or shoot telephoto with a teleconverter like the one you linked to and still retain previous DP2 resolution after cropping the periphery (which is still really all I need).
I'll give it a try, see what happens!

Justice Funds Pursuit of Online Child Predators
Byline: Jerry Seper, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
The Justice Department yesterday gave $5 million in new funds to Project Safe Childhood, a two-year-old law-enforcement initiative that targets child predators who use the Internet and other technology to sexually exploit children.
The money will fund 43 new assistant U.S. attorney positions nationwide to prosecute suspected offenders, said Deputy Attorney General Mark Filip, who made the announcement during visits to the U.S. attorneys' offices in Charlotte, N.C., and Lexington, Ky.
"Explicit images of children on the Internet are not only increasing in number, they are becoming more depraved. To be clear: We're not talking about innocent family snapshots, we're talking about the most horrific crimes imaginable, like videos depicting the graphic sexual assault of children, and even infants, traded around the world like baseball cards," Mr. Filip said.
"These are tough cases. They take an emotional toll on investigators and jurors. But we know we cannot stop, because however difficult these cases are for people in law enforcement, it is nothing compared to the suffering of child victims and their families," he said.
Mr. Filip said the Justice Department set out to marshal the efforts of federal, state and local authorities, as well as nonprofit organizations, "for the sake of these children" and has been encouraged by the success of the program nationwide.
In fiscal 2007, indictments were sought against 2,218 defendants, a 27.8 percent increase over fiscal 2006. Prosecutions in 332 child-exploitation cases also resulted in the forfeiture of more than $5.2 million in assets - a 492.7 percent increase over fiscal 2006. …

Why do owners of the Yakima Bears baseball team want to move to Vancouver? Likely it's for many reasons, beginning with expectations of higher attendance and a better stadium.
But here's another key question: Why do many leaders in Yakima want the Bears to stay? Likely it's because many folks there simply enjoy baseball and believe having a minor league team enhances the local quality of life. But even the most frugal doubters in Yakima ought to bemoan the loss of an estimated $206,000 annually in hotel revenues if the Bears leave. That figure was reported by the Yakima Herald-Republic. Also to be considered is the loss of 450-500 temporary construction jobs that could come with a new stadium.
On May 15, The Columbian endorsed exploring the idea of bringing the Bears here, and luring them with the honey of a new stadium, funded 70 percent by a 5 percent countywide admissions tax and 30 percent by the team's owners. We noted that the proposal, although promising, is in its preliminary phase.
A month later, we're still excited about the prospect of professional baseball setting up shop here, and we're anxious to learn more about it. As Kelly Parker of the Greater Vancouver Chamber of Commerce told county commissioners last week, "We are really encouraging the conversation to take place. We want to see the details."
Unfortunately, county commissioners do not unanimously endorse such a learning process. As Stephanie Rice reported in Friday's Columbian, County Commissioner Tom Mielke wonders why all this talk about pro baseball coming here is even taking place.
Based on resistance from Mielke and a few others in the community, we could miss out on a good thing. And there are plenty of other communities that could step up and try to snatch the Bears away from Vancouver. That's why the exclusivity contract that was brought before county commissioners last week made so much sense. Essentially, the agreement would keep the Bears' owners from talking to any other city about relocating. In return, the county would agree not to talk to any other team about moving here, a rather easy promise to make since no other baseball teams have formally stepped into the picture.
Mystifyingly, county commissioners balked (pardon the pun) at signing the exclusivity contract, although they are scheduled to reconsider it Tuesday.
Conversations in public meetings indicate Commissioner Steve Stuart likes the idea of minor league baseball coming here, Mielke does not and Marc Boldt is the uncommitted swing vote, which happens on many matters that go before this board.
Again, this whole thing is a process, and as Stuart told Mielke last week, "There's a lot to cover." Would cities agree that, if the county imposes an admissions tax, the cities wouldn't later try to grab that revenue by passing their own admissions taxes? We won't know unless the process continues. How reliable is that estimated $650,273 in annual revenue from the entertainment admissions tax? And would that be enough?
Is the $6.9 million in private-sector commitment from the team owners a fair share for them to pay? Would it be a good idea for Clark College to have access to a new baseball stadium that the Bears would use only 38 times a year, and would it be a good thing for that venue to be available for other public uses?
No one knows all the answers, so let's find out.

A Toledo man who fled to Canada after allegedly killing his wife nearly a year ago, is expected to head back the United States.
A C anadian court said it would not stand in the way of extraditing Kyle Sheppard back to Toledo.
In N ovember of 2012, his wife, Katie Sheppard was found dead inside their west Toledo home.
WNWO talked with Katie's grandmother, Carol Inman, who says she's happy Kyle will face justice in America, "we would like to get on to the court date as soon as possible so we could have closure," says Inman.
I nman adds that her family has received a lot of support from community members and other families of murder victims. She says she's not angry with Kyle, and instead will pray for him.
A date has not been set for Kyle Sheppard's extradition. Meanwhile, the decision from the Canadian court can be appealed.
READ: WNWO obtained a 13-page document detailing the extradition.

For over 28 years R&T/OBCON has long been considered the industry expert in car subwoofer box manufacturing & pickup speaker box design. Whether you are looking for a bandpass box, sealed sub enclosure, slot vent enclosure, or custom fit truck boxes for a Ford|Chevy|Dodge|Toyota pickups, R&T/OBCON manufactures the best aftermarket automobile sub woofer enclosures in the industry.
When it comes to loud pounding bass the dirty little secret is "the quality of your speaker box is more important than the quality of your sub woofers." R&T/OBCON uses a manufacturing process called Quad-Lock Joint Re-Enforcement to beef up a cabinets most vulnerable area allowing competition SPL's to explode while the sub box structural integrity remains solid.
Lastly, as a manufacturer for the last 28 years, R&T/OBCON has joined with most brand name woofer companies to design and produce sub boxes to help showcase their subwoofer on a regional, national, and worldwide level. Names like Pioneer, JBL, Sony, Rockford Fosgate, and Kicker just to name a few. Now, this level of expertise is available directly to you through our "Performance Rating" system as we match your subwoofer brand to our box. Subwoofers like, MTX, Memphis, Alpine, Diamond, JL, and Kenwood. If you have any questions, just email us here for a prompt answer: email@example.com
So don't be fooled by sub boxes that look the same on the outside but don't carry the R/T signature feature in quality manufacturing called Quad Lock. Keep in mind that a sub box needs to be able to withstand the constant abuse low frequency sound waves produce. Cheap speaker boxes sound good for a couple of weeks but fail miserably in the long run. So, whether you drive a Chevy, Dodge, Ford, Toyota truck or the like, a quality box is just as important if not more important than the JL, Kenwood, Sony, Rockford, MTX, Apine, or Memphis sub woofer you are putting in it.

Kukunoor wishes to show his film about human trafficking and prostitution to NGOs and Salman also runs an NGO called Being Human.
"That would be a dream scenario if he (Salman Khan) comes forward and endorses the film," Kukunoor told reporters Tuesday at the trailer and poster launch of the movie.
"It would be wonderful because having the support of someone like him would be tremendous for the cause... if Salman comes on board for the film, it will be terrific," he added.
The story of "Lakshmi" revolves around a girl whose life goes for a toss when she is forced into prostitution. But she overcomes the problems to put her life back on track and sets an example for many.
Kukunoor admits that it is not possible to reach every single person through the film but they will try their best.
"If we are able to direct even five percent of the people to this problem, we will feel we are successful because you can't reach everyone," said Kukunoor, known for films like "Iqbal", "Dor" and "Aashayein".
Satish Kaushik, who has co-produced the film with Pramod Sharma, has kept the promotion plan in tandem with the theme of the movie.
Kaushik said: "What we are trying to do is that we are trying to reach a lot of people through NGOs, social places, and social activists. They are going to see the film. We will be screening the film for them... even in some of the red light areas where it happens."
Kaushik, who will be seen playing a negative role in it, strongly recommends the film to women who have been victims of human trafficking.
"I feel the girls who are affected by it should see the film as this film is to make them courageous," he said.
"Lakshmi" marks the Bollywood debut of singer Monali Thakur. The film also features Kukunoor, Shefali Shah and Ram Kapoor.
It will come out Jan 17 next year.

The Psalmists' Thoughts of God
THE centre of the Psalmists' universe is God, the shining point round which all their faith and hope revolve, the living Source of their light and strength and joy. He is omnipresent in the Psalms. And that not as the end of patient search and striving. He is the first principle of life and feeling. Only the 'fool' said in his heart there was no God. The wise man was sure of Him. For he knew Him by innumerable facts of personal experience. His whole being was wrapped in God's. And his deepest thoughts and expectations were of Him.
From the central place God occupies in the Psalmists' world it necessarily follows that He is one. The poet who revels in the infinite realm of Nature's beauty may people the Universe with 'gods many and lords many;' but earnest spirits living in the immediate presence of the Divine could have no god beside Him they reverenced. In the Psalter, indeed, we meet with traces of the older henotheism. Thus God is represented as 'standing in the assemblage of the Mighty, holding judgment among the gods'
