It is full house at the Onn Kee Bean Sprout Chicken Restaurant at Jalan Yau Tet Shin.
EATERIES and souvenir shops in Ipoh are packed to the brim as many residents now living outstation are back to perform their Qing Ming obligations.
Popular eateries, including several chicken and bean sprout restaurants were crowded with customers while others flocked to biscuit shops to get kaya puffs, Tambun heong peah and pomeloes.
Major roads in the city also experienced traffic snarls as people came home from all over the country, including Kuala Lumpur and Penang.
The traffic conditions were also compounded further by local market goers buying flowers, prayer items and vegetarian food at the Ipoh central market for the Qing Ming prayers.
Qing Ming Festival, Chinese Ancestors Day or Tomb Sweeping Day usually falls on April 5 every year.
While many would observe the calendar, there have been many coming back earlier to pay their respects to their dearly departed or ancestors, in their attempt to beat the crowd at temples and graveyards.
A sales agent, who only wanted to be known as Ma, said he would return here every year from Kuala Lumpur to pay respect to his ancestors.
"I will usually come back with my family members.
"I also see it as a time to take a break from my job while fulfilling my responsibility to my ancestors annually," he told The Star.
On whether the crowd and traffic condition during this time of the year in Ipoh bothered him, he said he was not too worried about the situation.
"Compared to Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh is not that crowded, even during holiday seasons.
"When you have experienced the traffic jams in Kuala Lumpur, it does not seem that bad over here," he said.

""Coron Palawan, a dream Come True..."" Top 5 Page for this destination Coron Island by elhombre30
Coron Island Travel Guide: 119 reviews and 498 photos
Palawan is composed of the long and narrow Palawan Island, plus a number of other smaller islands surrounding the main island. The Calamianes Group of Islands, to the northeast consists of Busuanga Island, Culion Island, and Coron Island.
Palawan, the only Philippine island cited, is rated by National Geographic Traveler magazine as the best island destination in East and Southeast Asia region in 2007, and the 13th best island in the world having "incredibly beautiful natural seascapes and landscapes. One of the most biodiverse (terrestrial and marine) islands in the Philippines...- Source, Wikipedia.
Two major entry point to Palawan is Puerto Princesa, home of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Puerto-Princesa Subterranean River National Park and Busuanga Island whose main town is Coron.
We chose to travel Coron for it has several beautiful surrounding islets.
Beautiful white sand beaches, stunning gigantic rock formation, the best snorkeling spot ever been, very clean water (literally bluish and greenish water). - my most memorable birthday experience in an enchanting paradise of Coron Palawan.
There are packages offered in different websites with accommodations, island hopping and meals included for a cheaper price however you can opt to do your own itineraries for the ff reasons:
1.) You may have limited time to spend in each of the island destinations.
2.) There are several tourist who can join you in the group, you might not get comfortable with it.
3.) Meals served are limited.
4.) Time constraint.
On the other hand, if you'll choose not to go with any packages, definitely you can manage your own time, anyway the boat will be waiting, you can prepare your own desired meals, it's more relaxing. After all, all you wish is a memorable and fun vacation with no hustle.
Must see sights:
Siete Pecados
Banol Beach
Barracuda Lake
Twin Lagoon
Skeleton Ship Wreck
Kayangan Lake
I just couldn't stop myself from ticking on my camera while doing the Island Hopping. I end up having more than 4,000 photos plus videos for a total of 12 gig additional memory in my laptop.
I am inlove with Coron and thankful that God created this wonder in the Philippines for I don't have to travel far to get here. I just hope my fellow filipinos will take good care of this God's gift so we can continue putting Philippines to the list of TOP destinations to visit worldwide.
- Pros:Best to describe Coron - GOD'S GIFT
- Cons:Excessive entrance fee ranges from 100 - 200 pesos per Island.
- In a nutshell:Best Snorkeling site ever!

Improved coron page...great...:)
grabeh ganda ng coron pix mo. super quality!
yes mircaskirca, ralphs is one of the budget yet good hotels. if youre traveling with a family and looking for something luxurious, there are 2 stars hotel in the area but i didnt stay there and prefers budget hotels.
great insight into this beautiful place! and where are days 3 and 4? well, I'm going to visit Coron in January so I'm interested what else to see and do there. and yes, I totally agree about the excessive entrance fees for each stop. it should be charged only once and valid for the whole archipelago. is Ralph's pension a nice place to stay? I'm looking for a quiet family-run place with friendly owners :)
I explored Coron last year alone :) It's a great experience. I love the place so much.

Lawmaker opposes fighter jet in Burlington, Vt.February 09,2013MONTPELIER A Vermont lawmaker whose district would be affected by the possible basing of a new fighter jet in the Burlington area is proposing a legislative resolution against it.
Rep. George Cross is a Democrat representing Winooski, a small city in the flight path into and out of the Burlington International Airport where the F-35 fighter jet would be based.
Cross says his resolution has 30 cosponsors and he hopes to garner more support from lawmakers around Vermont.

text: Drier and slightly cooler air pushed into eastern Carolina Thursday night following a cold front that moved offshore during the day. The drier air will give the area lots of sunshine and lower relative humidity levels on Friday. Afternoon highs will reach the middle 80s but lower humidity levels will make the warmth more tolerable. Moisture will be on the increase by late Saturday and Sunday. Scattered showers and storms may develop by Sunday afternoon. High temperatures will average in the upper 80s over the weekend, with overnight lows close to 70°.

If you don't, the city just might prompt a change of heart. The best restaurants are that good, whether in the historically Japanese-American neighborhood downtown known as "Little Tokyo," or in Hollywood. So hop on the subway, or the daytime 25 cent downtown bus system known as DASH, and explore. (You can also walk to Little Tokyo from downtown hotels, but only if you don't mind passing through some gritty blocks). At the well-worn Little Tokyo spot known as Daikouya, the ramen is an essay in simplicity. Who knew that soy sauce and pork bones boiled for a day produce such a thick and delicious brown broth? Add some noodles, bamboo shots, bean sprouts, green onions, and a boiled egg, and you've got a sublime bowl that'll have you swearing off Top Ramen for good. For izakaya, the Japanese equivalent of casual, "small plates" pub food, try 132 S Central Ave for Izayoi, a spare but cheery space nestled between a Quizno's and a yogurt shop. A seafood salad with ginger dressing and a piece of grilled yellowtail picked fresh from the market nearby are light and refreshing. And to watch the old standby of grilled chicken turned into something truly adventurous and new, head over to 260 E. 2nd Street to Kokekokko, named after the Japanese term for a cock crowing. The skewers of light and dark meat will make your taste buds sing, but you can also push the envelope with chicken livers, hearts, or gizzards. And they're lucky it tastes so good, since the staff can be unfriendly, there is a 5 skewer minimum, and they run out of things later in the evening – none of which deters the place's many repeat customers.For a more elegant, less stressful meal, Los Angeles is one of the best places to get sushi outside of Japan. The most celebrated restaurants such as The Hump, Matsuhisa, Nishimura, Mori Sushi, and Urasawa lie west of downtown and are only accessible by car – but "very good" sushi in this town is "great" by most other standards. So you'll do well for yourself sitting at the bar at Sushi Gen, located at 422 E Second St, in a Little Tokyo mall called Honda Plaza – their crispy salmon-skin roll tops off a meal with a savory crunch. Hollywood's Sushi Ike, at 6051 Hollywood Blvd. offers a delicious, no-nonsense approach that will please anyone who appreciates flavorful austerity. At Katsuya (Hollywood), it's just the opposite -- the combination of sushi and showbiz glamour in a flamboyant space designed by Phillipe Starck will strike some as odd, and the prices will strike everyone as bracingly high. But at no other establishment on this list are you more likely to see the likes of Brad Pitt, Hilary Duff or some of gals from "The Hills" dining at the next table.
Daikyokuya (ramen $8.50), Izayoi (small plates from $4.50-14; sushi $4-7 per piece), Kokekokko ($12-20), Sushi Gen ($18 and up); Red line to Civic Center; or DASH bus "Route A," but only up until 6:30 P.M.
Sushi Ike ($18 and up;), Katsuya (Hollywood) ($30 and up); Red line to Sunset and Vine.

Business Case for Diversity, My Foot
May 27, 2016
You should review, with your labor and employment counsel, your handbook and other workplace policies for compliance with the NLRB's Purple Communications rule.
How do you prevent employees from claiming overtime wages for the off-the-clock time they spend receiving, reading, and sending work-related emails? Maybe an email curfew is the answer.
Have a policy that spells out an employee's reasonable lack-of-privacy expectations, but have a similar policy statement prohibiting employees from accessing the personal email or other Internet account of others.

Charles Dharapak, AP
WASHINGTON — His agency under relentless fire, the new head of the Internal Revenue Service acknowledged to Congress on Monday that American taxpayers no longer trust the IRS amid a growing number of scandals — from the targeting of conservative political groups to lavish spending on employee conferences.
But Acting Commissioner Danny Werfel declared he was "committed to restoring that trust." He said he has installed new leadership at the agency and is conducting a thorough review of what went wrong and how to fix it.
He promised the transparency that was lacking for several years as tea party groups complained about harassment by the IRS, only to be met with denials from the agency.
"We must have the trust of the American taxpayer. Unfortunately, that trust has been broken," Werfel told a House Appropriations subcommittee in his first public appearance since taking over the agency nearly two weeks ago. "The agency stands ready to confront the problems that occurred, hold accountable those who acted inappropriately, be open about what happened, and permanently fix these problems so that such missteps do not occur again."
"It has to start," Werfel added, "with a recognition that a trust has been violated."
Werfel testified at a difficult time for the agency. Criticized from inside and outside the government, Werfel went to Capitol Hill to ask for a big budget increase. President Barack Obama has requested a 9 percent increase in IRS spending for the budget year that starts in October, in part to help pay for the implementation of the new health care law.
House Republicans have voted 37 times to eliminate, defund or partly scale back the Affordable Care Act, and many are not eager to increase funding for an agency that will play a central role in enforcing compliance.
"We will have to think very carefully about how much money to provide to the IRS," said Rep. Ander Crenshaw, R-Fla., chairman of the House Appropriations subcommittee on financial services and general government.
Werfel acknowledged that it would be a "mistake" to ask Congress for more money to address the agency's recently revealed problems. But, he added, the IRS is seeking additional money to enforce tax laws, improve taxpayer services and implement initiatives.
"I'm prepared to defend the increase that we're asking for," he said.
An inspector general's report last month said IRS agents improperly targeted conservative political groups for additional scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status during the 2010 and 2012 election campaigns.
The revelations have prompted investigations by three congressional committees and the Justice Department. The inspector general, J. Russell George, is also continuing his review.
George, who testified at the same hearing as Werfel, hinted Monday that more revelations could be coming. George told lawmakers he is also looking into bonuses received by IRS employees, and expects to release a report in the fall. He did not elaborate, however.
The agency's previous acting commissioner was forced to resign, another official retired and a third was placed on paid administrative leave.
A new inspector general's report, to be released Tuesday, says the IRS spent $50 million to hold at least 220 conferences for employees between 2010 and 2012.
The conference spending included $4 million for an August 2010 gathering in Anaheim, Calif., for which the agency did not negotiate lower room rates, even though that is standard government practice, according to a statement by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

New Fairways Golf Course owner Buster Heitman decided a couple months ago that the best way to protect his investments was to invest in something else.
Heitman and his wife Laura recently formed West Terrace Golf, LLC, to purchase the 144-acre, 6,541-yard course from
absentee-owner Charles Klar of Scottsdale, Ariz.
Heitman has been involved in the area the past several years, purchasing 94 lots via a development company, North Division Complex, he owns with Mike Hume and Bob Tomlinson, as well as building about 15 homes with his own company, Landmark Builders.

As the holidays approach, staff and volunteers at Share are dedicated to ensuring that homeless and low-income families get a chance to celebrate in the midst of a difficult period in their lives. These men, women and children are surviving on extremely limited incomes and struggle to afford the most basic of necessities, such as food and clothing — holiday gifts are a luxury out of their reach.
Share received a letter that reminded us of the generosity of our community: "My name is Larry Sword and I am a retired Union Pacific Railroad Conductor. I have been walking since January trying to get into shape. In doing so, I found on the ground $35.74 in change and bills which I am giving to Share for holiday dinners for people who are less fortunate than me and my family. I would encourage each person who reads this letter to send a check to help feed those who are hungry. Thank you very much and may God bless each and every one of you in this coming year with continued health and happiness."
As executive director and on behalf of Share, thank you to Sword and all our dedicated supporters for their generous donations to those in need.

Updates and reports from around the world
by Sandra Gualtieri, Italy
In 1989, at the age of 26, I made the decision to enroll at the University of Florence to study education. It was a busy period of studying, working to pay for my studies and being active in SGI activities, which I had begun taking part in three years earlier.
A key motivation for my choice to return to university was the inspiration I received from SGI President Ikeda's annual peace proposals, and particularly his comments on human rights. Reading the proposals strengthened my conviction that each person influences, for better or for worse, the global situation of our world. I began to feel a strong determination to stand up against injustice. I realized too that the responsibility to protect human rights rests with each of us, and that education is key to developing this awareness.
After graduating from university, I began to search for ways to give practical implementation to the inspiration that I had received from Mr. Ikeda's peace proposals. I believe the goal of education is one of transformation, and the role of educators is to help students gain confidence in their innate potential and to become aware of their interrelatedness with the world around them.
Of a number of initiatives for global social development that I learned about, one that particularly appealed to me and which advanced these same values was the Earth Charter Initiative, a grassroots global movement to promote a set of universal values and principles for building a just, sustainable and peaceful global society.
Then, in 2000, SGI-Italy launched a multimedia exhibition called "The City of Human Rights." I was responsible for contacting schools to promote the exhibition and encouraging the majority of students to participate. The exhibition was shown throughout Italy. In November 2001, 18,000 students visited it in Florence alone.
I also became one of a group of educators within SGI-Italy coordinating interactive Earth Charter Youth Forums for high school students held together with the exhibition. I organized such forums in 10 cities and dedicated myself to facilitating implementation of the wonderful ideas that the young people involved came up with. These forums were aimed at encouraging students to identify solutions to human rights issues and fostering their ability to analyze and make suggestions as active global citizens by "thinking globally and acting locally." The Earth Charter provided an ideal basis for reflection and discussion--a framework around which to structure the forums. I also developed a system, based on principles of nonviolent education, through which youth participants were able to raise their concerns in "Talk Shows" in front of local politicians and mayors. related article Sharing Worlds by Kathryn Ricketts Kathryn Ricketts describes how her work with autistic children is based on sharing their worlds and seeing the Buddha that is inherent within.
Through their experience in the forums students were able to develop not only their awareness of global issues, but also an empowered sense of their own ability to address these problems by taking responsible action in their daily lives.
From 2004, SGI-Italy began to promote these forums in conjunction with a new exhibition, "Seeds of Change." This exhibition was created by the SGI in collaboration with the Earth Charter Initiative, and focuses specifically on the Earth Charter and the idea of each person's potential to make a contribution to the positive transformation of their community and the world.
I feel very grateful that through my involvement in these activities I have been able to develop my own sense of agency and responsibility as a global citizen. Carrying out these activities has often required a lot of courage, and this has given birth to a stronger sense of confidence and responsibility, which I now want to share with others. It has also been wonderful to create so many ties of friendship and shared concern with so many people, and I feel a great deal of gratitude for the inspiration of SGI President Ikeda which has encouraged me throughout.

Washougal firefighters and a technical rescue team recovered a woman's body from the Little Washougal River at midday Monday.
The incident began with a 911 call at 10:50 a.m. from a resident who lives off Blair Road about two miles up from the Washougal River Road.
Homeowner Ted Shaw said he was on his back deck, which overlooks the river, when he spotted the body in the water. It was slightly upstream from his home, and he didn't think it was a body at first. But once it was confirmed, a neighbor called it in, he said.
Clark County Sheriff's Sgt. Steve Shea said the fully clothed body was that of an adult female. It is unknown how long the body had been there, or where she might have come into the water, he said.
A caller contacted deputies to give them the possible name of the woman, Shea said. But officials can't release it until they have confirmation, which could come Tuesday, and the family is notified.
Shea said the Clark County medical examiner will conduct an autopsy, likely Tuesday. He said the rescue team members who recovered the body didn't report seeing any obvious sign of trauma.
If the autopsy doesn't reveal an obvious cause of death, toxicology tests will be conducted. Those tests typically take several weeks.
The sheriff's Major Crimes Unit will be investigating, which occurs anytime there is a homicide, suicide or fatal accident, he said.
Firefighters from East County Fire & Rescue, the Vancouver Fire Department, Clark County Fire District 6 and the Washougal Fire Department, along with members of the county dive team, were on the scene. Firefighters wearing insulated dry suits waded into knee-deep water to attach a pulley to the body and hoist it from the middle of the river.
The Little Washougal River's swift current was more dangerous than its temperature, said Shea, who supervises the sheriff's office Marine Patrol. Rescuers were able to take their time and work carefully, since it was obvious the woman was dead, he said.
The call that started the recovery effort was similar to one two weeks ago where a Washougal River homeowner thought she had spotted a man drowning in a popular fishing hole. In that case, deputies responded only to find a scuba diver who was face-down in the river, looking for fishing lures that could be resold on the Internet. He was not in distress and needed no assistance.
"The call was almost exactly the same as this one," Shea said.

Featuring a stairway for little legs to climb, walk up changing tables eliminate the need to lift your tot before switching out a dirty diaper.

Update on JimboyTo make a living Jimboy owns and manages farmland, planting and harvesting vegetables in his village and selling them at the market. He earns well from this and has successfully repaid his previous loan from GDMPC that he used to buy farm inputs. Currently, he took a new loan to buy fertilizer for this cropping season. He plans to use the additional revenue generated by his business to improve the farm as well as the general living conditions of his family.
Previous Loan DetailsJimboy is 24 years old and single.

He has been in his business for years and earns 1,500 PHP every month. Jimboy joined GDMPC last year, and is ... More from Jimboy's previous loan »
Additional Information
About GDMPCGata Daku Multi-Purpose Cooperative (GDMPC) was founded in 1992 by 32 farmer-members to empower people by providing livelihood opportunities and other support services. Today, it has over 15,000 members located in upland, lowland and coastal regions of the Philippines, and offers credit, savings, education, and various social services.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Yeah, I'm currently trying to sort out everything that will be in the demo. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll have enough time to finish it before I go on holiday, so you might have to wait a few weeks longer than expected

The nation has seen the report, the political hysterics of some Republicans, the denial of Democrats and the appearance of the Secretary of State. So what have we learned about the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed an ambassador and three other Americans?
While there was no advance intelligence forewarning of an attack, there were plenty of reasons for the State Department to worry about the vulnerability of the consulate given the instability in the area after the fall of the Libyan dictatorship. Considering the threat environment, security at the compound was "grossly inadequate" and too reliant on poorly trained private guards and local militia.
Concerns coming from the Libyan embassy about the lack of security stalled at the mid-management level. Years of tight funding for the State Department created a "deep sense of the importance of husbanding resources," which "had the effect of conditioning a few State Department managers to favor restricting the use of resources as a general orientation."
In other words, the inclination when a seemingly low-priority outpost needed help that cost money was to say no, or simply ignore and stall requests, which seemed to be the case here.
These were among the findings of the Accountability Review Board, led by former Ambassador Tom Pickering and Adm. Mike Mullen, which examined the circumstances of the attack.
The report found "real confusion over who, ultimately, was responsible and empowered to make decisions" on the security requests.
"I didn't see those requests. They didn't come to me. I didn't approve them. I didn't deny them," testified Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, speaking to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday.
This lack of accountability for decision making, the failure for such important security matters to reach the desk of the secretary, are the most troubling systemic failures of the sad Benghazi tale. The highest priority must be reducing the chances of such an event recurring. As she prepares to complete her tenure, Secretary Clinton has taken important steps to do just that.
The secretary has ordered a review of overall security at all diplomatic outposts. A new position, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for High Threat Posts, will be responsible for assessing security reports and requests. A protocol is in place to share security updates with appropriate congressional committees. And there will be periodic reviews of high-threat posts and an annual review chaired by the Secretary of State.
Better security costs money. We would urge Republican lawmakers, so eager in the midst of the election to seize on this tragedy to politically attack the administration, to vote for that funding where appropriate.
The review of the attack found no credence for the claims that a better response would have saved lives. "There simply was not enough time for U.S. military forces to have made a difference," said Adm. Mullen in summarizing his report for journalists. Ambassador Chris Stevens and Foreign Service information officer Sean Smith died of smoke inhalation, Navy SEALS Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty from mortar fire.
Finally, there was the political sideshow, Republicans contending and clinging to the notion that the administration, in the midst of a presidential election, initially misled the country by painting the attack as a spontaneous action during a protest about an anti-Islamic video, rather than the terrorist attack it was. The facts do not support that contention.
On Sept. 12 President Obama, speaking of the Benghazi attack, vowed, "No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation." Yes, United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice did say on Sunday news talk shows that week that the Benghazi attack began as a protest against an anti-Islamic video. "It looks like extremist elements … joined in that effort with heavy weapons," she said.
Yet Ambassador Rice was only using CIA talking points, based on best evidence at the time, stating that the attack involved militants taking advantage of a demonstration. Only subsequent to her appearances did a sorting out of intelligence show there was no protest. But at no time did anyone in the administration suggest this attack was simply protestors scaling walls. It was always acknowledged these were well-armed extremists - terrorists - the only confusion was whether they used a protest as cover.
Serious mistakes left the consulate vulnerable, with tragic results. But the evidence does not suggest a cover-up or any intention to mislead.

Mitsubishi Starion Body Kits
Featured Body Kits Products
Mitsubishi Starion body kits are custom exterior accessories that can be installed to upgrade and rejuvenate a ride's appearance. After years of usage, the exterior paneling on many vehicles starts to look worn and old. Any damage to a vehicle's paint job or to the exterior components themselves can depreciate a car's resale value, making the use of body kits is just that much more important. A bodykit can transform a car appear more attractive, without changing any of the true mechanics of the ride.
Some stylish Mitsubishi Starion bodykits upgrades come with replacements for several highly affected components, ground effects and side add ons. These are the places of a car that are most typically damaged from regular driving, but these aren't the only parts that could be easily replaced. Other aftermarket exterior parts can be used to customize a vehicle's exterior style, so Mitsubishi Starion bodykits can sometimes be special ordered to a car owner's specific needs. For an upgraded appearance that takes off the old looks resulting from years of driving, a high quality bodykits can serve you well.

Christian Church and Israeli Hospital Form "Rescue the Child" to Help children From Gaza, West Bank
Assaf Haroef Medical Center, a top Israeli Medical Center located about 15 km from Tel Aviv and Living Bread Church International, based in Jerusalem, have announced the formation of a new joint project called Rescue the Child.
Rescue the Child will provide much needed medical care for babies and children from the West Bank and Gaza who are badly in need of care due to lack of diagnosis, a need for specialized medicine or lack of local access to treatment.
This project is groundbreaking, considering the venture reaches out in compassion and love to the children of whom many deem the enemies of Israel.
"It is such a move of God to reach out in love and compassion to these children, who were dying and had such little hope," said Karen Dunham, Director of Living Bread. "Isn't it like God to team up a Christian organization and a Jewish hospital to show love to the enemies of Israel during this time? That's what Jesus did, [He] reached out to the least of these. There are no borders that the Lord cannot move."
Rescue the Child has already cleared border and governmental holds from both sides and has the coordination of patients moving out of the Gaza Strip for much needed medical treatment.
Karen Dunham and Aharon Cholow, Director of International Resources for the Friends of Assaf Haroeth, are currently in the U.S., raising awareness for Rescue the Child through media interviews, telethons, fund raising events, and various meetings.
"I believe that as an Israeli citizen we always have a right to defend ourselves from any aggression," said Cholow. "However, we will always stretch out our hand for peace and show compassion to the suffering of children."

When Robin Thicke's hit song "Blurred Lines" first came out, it was instantly familiar to any fans of Marvin Gaye, and especially fans of the late singer's 1977 hit "Got to Give it Up." It was so similar that we assumed it was because Pharrell Williams, the producer on "Blurred Lines," had simply sampled Gaye.
But it turns out that wasn't the case; and now after two years of back-and-forth lawsuits, Williams and Thicke have been ordered to pay $7.3 million to Gaye's estate.
Of course, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and in pop music, sometimes that "flattery" is more akin to "plagiarism" (semantics!). Open the gallery and travel through 40-some years of music rips, some of which have ended amicably, and some that haven't.
Your favourite, er, tribute not in the gallery? Let us know in the comments.
Follow Jesse Kinos-Goodin on Twitter: @JesseKG.
I thought Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" would be on this list for ripping off Madonna's "Express Yourself".
The Trgically Hip's "New Orleans Is Sinking" (1989) versus Frank Zappa's "Trouble Every Day" (1966)?
All great rips. The Tom Petty "Last Dance with Mary Jane" vs. RHCP's "Dani California" is a good one too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=008jskwOtkg
How does this list not include Ice Ice Baby and Under Pressure?
How about Leo Sayer's massive hit "When I Need You" (written by Albert Hammond and Carol Bayer Sager).
The melody and chords in the chorus are a blatant rip-off of Leonard Cohen's chorus in "Famous Blue Raincoat".
The Verve, "Bittersweet Symphony" v Rolling Stones "The Last Time" - The Verve settled out of court for using more than the orchestral sample they had agreed to use. Not sure what happened after that - I think it was unpleasant.
Funny I was JUST telling the Yukon Blonde boys about the Ghostbusters/Huey Lewis thing...
Trivia I gained from mah daddy.
^^^That is Christine McAvoy up there as VIA...forgot to log out once AGAIN haha!***
The chorus of Rod Stewart's "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" is a direct rip of Jorge Ben's "Taj Mahal." I'm surprised it wasn't on the list.

10 posts. No reviews. No lists. No wishlists.
I came here thinking of "Rolling Release" as it will be released to another 5000 players each month,
but I seeing the Delta Launch suggestion, I immediately preferred that.
That means that for every 6 favored class points they get one extra talent. This build has an extra talent at levels 4, 6, 8, and 12.
I check the knifemaster, and the scout archetypes, and unless I missed something neither one gives out bonus talents.
That means that for every 6 favored class points they get one extra talent. This build has an extra talent at levels 4, 6, 8, and 12.
At level 4 and 8 he marked the replacements for Uncanny Dodge and Improved Uncanny Dodge as Scout talents. Those are not actually talents.
The bonus talents at 6 and 12 are from the favored class, that's fine.
Ogre, the Traits listed are only options. He can only take two of them anyway, and the ones you listed are mutually exclusive. So it's River Rat and one of the three you listed.
The Iconic Witch, even though the picture is a bit too blurry to make out the awesome details.
hedgehogs are cool.
But cool enough to get +19 in Stealth?
In Stealth? A hedgehog is one of the unstealthiest ground-dwelling diminutive animals there is. They keep wheezing and snuffling and alerting every other non-deaf creature in about 15' around them of their existence, just because they know they can't be hurt due to their spines.
So what made them give hedgehogs +19 in Stealth?
You could also have a look at Super Genius Games Archetypes books. They include the option of taking spellcasting away from Paladins/Rangers/Bards and switching it out for a whole bevy of alternate features.
I was kinda hoping to see something along the lines of the Physical Exemplar in here, only for mental stats.
Maybe offer some non-combat feats (or even just General, Item Creation or Metamagic ones), an option for extra skill points or bonus spells, something along these lines.
Is there anything planned like this? Inquiring minds want to know.
Or at least mine does...
Wow, amazing. I have never seen a Paladin played that way. Really good stuff.
There seems to be a difference between the given wage of 3sp/level for skilled labor and the wage listed for the guide and steward. They both are listed as 2sp/day and are 2nd level.
Which value is correct?
I wish I could subscribe to *just* the PDFs. Living in Europe means I'd have to pay way too much shipping costs otherwise.
And no, I don't mean, I just want the free PDFs, more somthing like a discount on the PDFs and getting them added to my subscriptions automatically (and at the same time the other subscribers get theirs).
The kingdom sheet looks cool and has me jazzed for this AP. This is going to cover something I have wanted for years. How to let the PC's get, control and build a kingdom of their own.
Looks like the kind of thing that the old-school AD&D Birthright campaign setting offered, only with a decent ruleset behind it this time. Looking forward to learning more about it.

With health care reform taking shape over the next few months – and with it transformational changes in the way care is delivered and how providers are paid – mid-sized independent physician groups and smaller practices are increasingly being confronted with a decision: merge, partner or have the practice acquired in an effort to survive the rapidly shifting landscape.
In the North Bay, Sonoma County is home to two of the largest independent physician groups – 41-member Redwood Regional Medical Group and the 50-member Northern California Medical Associates – while Marin County is home to a large foundation itself in the Prima Medical Group.
Napa County, on the other hand, is dominated mainly by large health systems and their associated physicians groups -- Adventist Health and St. Joseph Health -- along with a smattering of small independent practices.
Both Redwood Regional and NCMA are acutely aware of the sea changes, and each said it has explored or is exploring options related to the trend of consolidation and partnerships, particularly as bundled payments loom as the replacement of the fee-for-service model that many regard as the main nexus for reform.
"In this ever-changing health care environment, Redwood has started to explore a potential long-term model for physicians who wish to maintain a degree of independence and self-governance," said Wayne Fairchild, chief executive officer of Redwood Regional, which specializes in oncology, radiology and orthopedics.
Likewise, NCMA, which has numerous specialties, has explored its options as the group plots is post Affordable Care Act strategy, according to Ruth Skidmore, chief executive officer.
One of those options, she said, included a merger with a large regional medical foundation, but the group decided to take a step back and not join with another group too quickly.
"We made that decision because we really wanted to take a step back and evaluate to see what the changes from [Washington] D.C. really mean," Ms. Skidmore said, similarly citing physician autonomy as a key aspect for the group.
Meanwhile in Marin, the Prima Medical Group has made clear that it will seek partnerships, along with the nearly 600-strong physician network Marin-Sonoma IPA, with hospitals and other providers in forming an accountable care organization, or ACO. Such organizations are encouraged under reform by way of bonuses from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which is overseeing several key elements of the ACA.
The move toward ACOs, along with the march toward electronic medical records and inconsistent patient volumes are all confronting the small and mid-sized independent groups, said Mark Knight, a health care consultant formerly of St. Joseph Health.

In four cases, serious complications were encountered after the insertion of a central venous catheter into the subclavian veins. Pneumothorax developed in three patients and one had a hemothorax. Two patients who had massive pneumothorax died, the other two recovered. On the basis of the experience obtained by others and ourselves with the measurements of central venous pressure through catheters inserted via the subclavian vein, the abandonment of this technique has been recommended.

How to Spawn Mobs in Skyblock
One day when you were playing Skyblock, you wanted to obtain Mob resources, for example, a Spiders' string or a Zombies' Rotten Flesh? This is the right place for you because this article will teach you how to Spawn Mobs in Skyblock!
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Collect tons' of Cobblestone. You need a lot of Cobblestone to make a single Mob Spawner. Visit the Cobblestone Generator for the Cobble you need. Make a Cobblestone generator by digging up grass ( from the beginning and remember to place dirt so there can be 1 hole the lava can be filled in ) and get the bucket of lava from your chest. Pour the lava in, and get 1 piece of ice from your chest. Place the ice on the other side and break the ice. The ice will turn into water and then break the dirt. The dirt will be gone from there and then cobble will appear.
2Choose a direction on where you want the Mob Spawner to be. Shouldn't be that hard. Choose either the north, east, south, or west of you.
3Place the Cobblestone on the area you want the Mob Spawner to be and make sure the Mob Spawner is 24 blocks away from your area. You see, Mobs can't spawn 24 blocks closer to you.
4Make a trap anyway you want it to be. The trap can be a sky diving trap where you make a cave really up in the sky and let Mobs fall down and hit the ground hard or you can use water for your Mob Trap also. Just make the Spawning area 8 blocks away from the water. The mobs will spawn, move their way into the water, and get pushed by the water current. Then soon after that, their most likely to drown. ( You don't have to use water/pistons and stuff, these are the most likely things that people would use )
5Collect Mob resources. Water can push the resources into your slot of collecting or the sky diving trap can just leave the resources on the ground. There's only one lookout for the sky diving Mob Trap is, make sure no Mobs land on you!
6Test out your trap. The area in the mob spawner should be dark. There can be problems: for example, spiders can sometime clog up your trap but that's for your water and Endermen can take away your structure one by one. That mistake can go for both ideas. To fix the spider mistake you can make your landing bigger. This is if you make your trap (with water) a grill. You can fix it or leave the spiders in there. spiders can climb walls and see through walls also. To fix the Enderman problem make the spawning area two blocks tall; Endermen are taller than two blocks and no mobs can spawn in a space that can't support them.
7Set your difficulty to " Hard " If you set it to " Hard " then Mobs will spawn crazy in your trap. Set it to that if you want resources immediately. Just remember to add torches on the roof of the Mob Spawner so Mobs can't spawn crazy on the roof!
8Enjoy your Mob Trap/Spawner.

The New Ulm City Council is holding a Public Hearing concerning the city's 2013 Surface Reconstruction Projects this (TUE) evening. Work will include 12 blocks at a cost of more than $415,000, of which over $102,000 in special assessments will be sought. The council will also consider awarding the contract for New Ulm's 2013 Utility, Street and Alley Improvements during today's meeting, which starts at 5pm at New Ulm City Hall. In other business, the council will consider a request from KNUJ to use the open-air city parking lot behind the former Ben Franklin building for the downtown New Ulm Farmers Market on Mondays this summer. The downtown Farmers Market needs a new location following the sale of its former site.

"Park After Dark" Music Series
Sounds Like: SKYMAN, Ween, Alice in Chains, TV On The Radio, Queens of the Stone Age
Label: unsigned
Manager: Josh Watson
As the world becomes more and more chaotic we strive to send a message of truth and of hope.
Our existence as a group is the end result of countless local shows we (Mike Cortinas,Nick Bojanski,Josh Watson and Dan Shea) have attended at Slowdown, The Waiting Room, Barley St Tavern, S...See Full Bio
"ONL's Band Of The Week -SKYMAN Skyman is a new band that started in 2011 in the Benson music scene. I recently had a chance to listen to their track A.D.8 and I was quite impressed to say the least! Even as a new band, their music has a nice mix of punchy guitars, driving drums, and catchy melodies. The vocals are clean but maintain a certain level of power that really pulls you in; almost a mix of Shinedown's Brent Smith and Deftone's Chino Moreno. Overall these guys have a good, unique sound, and it will be exciting to see what Skyman comes up with in the near future. You can check these guys out at the Slowdown w/ Guilty Is The Bear and Island Alumni on Friday, November 30th at 8pm. Tickets are available on Etix.com or the Slowdown main doors."

Introduction to Psychophysiology
In the first edition of this book, I wrote that "the field of psychophysiology is concerned with the measurement of physiological responses as they relate to behavior." The word behavior is used now, as then, in the broadest sense to include such diverse activities as sleep, problem solving, reactions to stress, learning, memory, information processing, perception, or--in short--any of the activities that psychologists are inclined to study. This characterization of the field requires some clarification. You, the reader, may ask how psychophysiology differs from the discipline traditionally known as physiological psychology; the answer is that it is mainly in the approach and subject matter of these areas, because the goal of understanding the physiology of behavior is the same.
Distinctions have been made between psychophysiology and physiological psychology in terms of how dependent and independent variables are used ( Lykken, 1984; Stern, 1964). The dependent variables refer to what is actually being measured in a research project, and the independent variable is the aspect being manipulated. Stern and Lykken said that in psychophysiology, the dependent variables are physiological (e.g., heart rate) and the independent variables are psychological (e.g., problem solving). However, in physiological psychology the dependent variables are mainly psychological (learning, or perceptual accuracy, as examples), whereas independent variables are physiological (e.g., brain stimulation or removal of brain tissue). This distinction in terms of dependent and independent variables is useful but not entirely satisfactory to Furedy ( 1983), who argued that this approach does not cover the example of a physiological psychologist who records and studies changes in a single neuron while psychological stimuli are manipulated. According to Furedy's definition: "Psychophysiology is the study of psychological processes in the intact organism as a whole by means of unobtrusively measured physiological processes" (p. 13). He emphasized that a measurement made unobtrusively, as with surface electrodes, results in a more accurate picture of the behaving organism. Mangina ( 1983) objected to Furedy's use of the term "intact organism" because this would exclude the study of brain damaged, mentally retarded, or drug-influenced persons, and patients suffering from various psychophysiological disorders. Mangina defined psychophysiology as "the science which studies the physiology of psychic functions through the brain-body-interrelationships of the living organism in conjunction with the environment" (p. 22).
At this point, I propose a definition that attempts to integrate those previously offered: Psychophysiology is the study of relations between psychological manipulations and resulting physiological responses, measured in the living organism, to promote understanding of the relation between mental and bodily processes. I believe this definition can provide a useful starting point.

What's going on guys, this is a topic that is simply for discussion, not for everyone to flame each other for their outlook on bodybuilding/weightlifting.
I was thinking about it the other day, and was trying to understand the true point behind all these different workout plans/regiments people try to incorporate to insure they train with "the best" workout. But does all that really matter? If you train for a good hour to hour and half, do solid workouts, and really train your muscle as hard as you can that should be as good as it gets. I understand certain workouts are a little better for sculpting the muscle, but how much of a difference can that really prove? Training your muscles as hard as you can for the day should suffice enough. What do you all think?

A much-needed break in Southern California's recent heat wave allowed attendees at Los Angeles Fashion Week to break out their fall clothes. While some went back to school with varsity jackets, knee-high socks and bow ties, others relied on jackets of all sorts. The scene outside the shows often mirrored the runways, incorporating trends such as vivid colors, cutouts, metallics, sheer layers and shorts. And this being Los Angeles, there was still plenty of bare skin on display.

of Public Accounts Committees:
A Review of the Canadian PAC, 37th Parliament
Martin Ulrich
The following case study of the activity and results of one Westminster model public accounts committee (PAC) is an interesting reflection on points posited by the previous chapter. It is particularly illustrative of the importance of ex post scrutiny and transparency.
The Parliamentary Centre of Canada was invited by the Public Accounts Committee of the Canadian Parliament to review its practices and results at a time when it was intensely engaged in studying the Sponsorship Scandal.1 During this period, the usual collegial atmosphere of the Committee was increasingly being challenged by partisanship, likely in response to the enormous publicity the committee study was receiving and the growing belief that it would have a substantial impact on the anticipated election. There is no way of knowing with certainty the reasons that individual members of the Committee asked for the review, but the Parliamentary Centre interpreted it as a desire by experienced members on the Committee to provide a balanced and thoughtful description of the full range of Committee activity. Such a report would balance the more fractious public image during its study of the Sponsorship Program, and (as we found out during the interviews) members— although quite happy with the Committee's performance—felt that some modest changes could enhance its value.
As it turned out, the Committee study of the Sponsorship Program likely did contribute to the governing party losing its majority status in the subsequent election, leading to a substantial change in the membership on the Committee and a short-lived 38th Parliament. Although the review was provided to the newly formed Committee, it did not formally address the study findings.
In addition to gathering and organizing information on the activities and outputs of the Committee, we interviewed active Committee members and other
1 The Sponsorship Program provided funding for community events. It was a Canadian unity initiative in response to a separation referendum in the province of Quebec. An audit report of the auditor general pointed out significant problems in its management, as well expenditures for no documented results. A subsequent commission of inquiry, led by Judge Gomery, determined that certain of the Sponsorship Program funds found their way to supporting candidates of the governing party.

Vic confronts Louis, who used to work for him, at a restaurant, telling him he cant turn a trick unless it goes through him. Vic threatens Louis with a knife and puts him down, showing off his new guy Ben (Lucas exclusive Ben Andrews) as younger and more hung. We follow Ben as he hooks up for a threesome with couple muscle daddy Steve (Scott Tanner) and twink Kyle (Kurt Wild). The couple worship Bens monster uncut cock, followed by tons of 2-on-1 action that includes ass-eating and toe-sucking. Steve and Ben then take turns fucking Kyle until cum flies.

Lucas Entertainment exclusive Ben is the proud owner of the biggest dick in the industry, a claim confirmed by monster-dicked Chad Hunt during the promotion for their joint films Michael Lucas' The Bigger The Better and Encounters 3: Flash Point. Ben scored his first two headlining movies in 2007 with The Intern and Cruising Budapest 2: Ben Andrews. Up next? His very own life-sized dildo!
This adorable midwestern boy has the all-American good looks and shy flirtatious smile that will drive any power top wild, so it's no wonder they call him Kurt Wild! Between his slim, toned, frame and milky complexion, Kurt is probably the photo that appears if you look up "dreamboat" in the dictionary. There's nothing like watching Kurt get pile-drived in a hot threeway scene. Check out just such a fantasy in Pounding the Pavement!

Has anyone had any of these, just found them on the Disney site, never heard of them before!
??? Nope!!
I've had a poke around here and there, and I think the cost of this is a bit high. Granted, as pointed out depending on what you have to eat and drink... but still.
I know we spent around this amount in France for the degustation menu and it was incredible (and yes, we had the wine pairings and dessert).

May 28, 2016
You could hear them in New York. Los Angeles. Massachusetts. The toll continued even in Livingston, Alabama.
Each ring of the church bell was a tribute to the passing of Ronald Reagan, the USA's 40th President.
"In honor of president of Reagan and all that he did for this country as a representative of Girl Scout Troop 319 and a member of First Presbyterian Church," said Martha Watt, a Girl Scout.
At 1:15 Eastern time, when the State Funeral was over, towns across the nation took a moment to pay their respects.
That sound had a special meaning for Kaye Kiker. Sixteen years ago Thursday she recieved a Presidential medal for Volunteerism from non other than Reagan himself.
At First Presbyterian Church in Livingston, it was just a small crowd listening to a much larger sound.
"He had just returned from the Moscow Summit and was very tired, he and Nancy," said Kiker. "I was very impressed with him on many levels. His positive attitude and how he honored volunteer work."
The toll of a bell is often associated with the passage of time. Friday it signified the passing of a President, one who, like this tribute, touched cities both large and small.
