The Tour de France Devil : Didi Senft
Dieter "Didi" Senft is known as "El Diablo", or the Devil of the Tour de France. If you've watched the Tour on television over the past 2 decades, you've likely seen this guy bouncing on the side of the road or running alongside the competitors. We're fairly confident you'll see him at this year's race, which began this weekend, as he's been doing his thing at cycling races in Europe since 1993. We'll refer to Wikipedia for a bit more background :
Senft (born February 7, 1952 in Reichenwalde, Germany) attributes the inspiration for the costume to German cycling announcer Herbert Watterot who called the last lap of local criterium races, "the Red Devil's Lap."
You can often find him traveling ahead of multi-day stage races in a custom-decorated camper vehicle, picking out the best spot for his antics. He loves posing for photos with fans, and typically paints his symbols (trident and large bicycle) on the pavement near where you'll find him when the race passes.
When he is not traveling with the peloton, you can probably find Didi working on his latest bike creation. He has built over 100 bicycles, including the largest in the world. He is even listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for building the largest mobile guitar.
One of our favorite photos of El Diablo is when he encountered the "Specialized Angel" at the Giro d'Italia in 2006. She was created as a publicity stunt by the bike company to play off the notoriety of the Tour Devil :
There are far too many great Tour de France Devil photos to highlight them all, but we've gathered an extensive gallery to give you more of an idea. He is just one of the many reasons we enjoy watching the Tour de France, and encourage you to check out our Tour de France Primer for Americans for more.

Policy on Granting R. 4001(a)(3) Relief as Matter of Course

Policy on Granting R. 4001(a)(3) Relief as Matter of Course
Click here for the pdf document.
Policy on Granting Rule 4001(a)(3) Relief as Matter of Course
This Court does not grant relief as a matter of course from the 14-day stay of execution
on an Order Granting Relief from the Automatic Stay, provided for in Fed. R. Bankr. P.
4001(a)(3). Many practitioners request this relief and incorporate it into their proposed stay relief
orders without setting forth any basis for the relief requested. Granting this relief as a matter of
routine, particularly in cases where stay relief has been unopposed and is being granted by
default, risks working considerable hardship on debtors, and particularly consumers, by
effectively mooting any post-order remedies or relief they might seek. The Rule grants the Court
wide discretion in shortening or eliminating the 14-day stay upon proper request. The Court
believes this discretion is rendered meaningless if the relief is routinely granted without any
stated basis.
Creditors with cause to seek to shorten or eliminate the 14-day stay pursuant to R.
4001(a)(3) should include in both their motion and proposed order a concise statement of the
basis for shortening or eliminating the stay. Examples of such reasons might be concerns
regarding the maintenance, insurance, or integrity of the collateral. The Court will approve an
order requesting that relief if all parties in interest have approved the order.
The Court appreciates creditors' lawyers' cooperation in altering their forms accordingly.
Dated this 7th day of October, 2011.

Attorney General Hardy Myers and Director Mary C. Neidig of the Department of Consumer and Business Services (DCBS) today announced the filing of a stipulated judgment against a Bend "payday" loan operation, A 1 Cash Advance, and its owner Tim Stroud, also known as Tim Loren. The judgment was filed Wednesday in Deschutes County Circuit Court.
The short term personal loan lender was closed down Feb. 1 after the Oregon
Department of Justice on behalf of DCBS obtained a temporary restraining order
and filed a lawsuit against Stroud and his business.
"Oregon customers who were unlawfully charged for interest on their loans
will receive refunds and the unlicensed activity has been corrected, "
Myers said. "The defendants were stopped from collecting on debts that
were the direct result of illegal activity."
DCBS and Justice investigators found that A 1 Cash Advance was once licensed
to make loans and do business in Oregon but canceled the license and refused
to renew it. County records revealed that in the last two years, the defendants
had filed 153 cases against its customers for delinquent loans, in which the
interest rates ranged from 400 to 500 percent.
"The settlement provides a mechanism for Oregonians to receive refunds of the interest payments illegally charged by A 1 Cash Advance when it was open and not licensed. In addition, licensing
the defendants will allow us to monitor their lending practices and ensure that the company and its owner are complying with all of the laws and regulations related to lending money in Oregon,"
DCBS Licensing Manager Jim Krueger said. Krueger's office licenses non-depository lenders and is part of the Division of Finance and Corporate Securities of DCBS.
The judgment requires A 1 Cash Advance to refund interest paid on loans made
by the company between Dec. 17, 1999 and Jan. 31, 2002. Interest is the $20
per $100 fee charged to borrowers and does not include any other charge such
as court costs or bad check charges.
The defendants must pay $5,000 to DCBS to repay some of its enforcement costs,
to reimburse some consumer witnesses who appeared at the preliminary injunction
hearing, and to provide $1,000 to fund Bend Legal Aid Services.
Customers must file refund applications with DCBS no later than 5 p.m. on Apr.
15, 2002 and refund distributions will be made on a "first come, first
served" basis as money payments are made by A 1 over the next year. Refund
applications are available at the A 1 Cash Advance office at 2669 NE Twin Knolls
Rd., Ste. 206, in Bend or by calling toll-free (866) 814-9710 or from our Web
site. Applications should include the date(s) of each loan or loan renewal
and copies of all loan documents including canceled checks, if available.
Oregonians may check on the licenses of lenders by calling DFCS at (503) 378-4140
or on our Web
site. Consumers wanting information on all consumer issues may call the
Attorney General's consumer hotline at (503) 378-4320 (Salem area only), (503)
229-5576 (Portland area only) or toll-free at (877) 877-9392. Justice is online

|Vandals can't complete comeback
MOSCOW, Idaho – The Idaho men's basketball team clawed back from a 13-point second half deficit to pull within one, but could never get over the hump in a 71-66 loss to Utah Valley in Western Athletic Conference play on Thursday night.
Idaho falls to 7-12 on the season and 1-4 in WAC play with the loss, while the Wolverines improve to 9-7 overall and 3-0 in the WAC.
Idaho trailed 49-36 with 13:22 to play before going on a 21-9 extended run to make it a one-point, 58-57 game with just under six minutes to play. The Wolverines scored the next three points but Idaho kept it a two-or-fewer possession game throughout. Idaho freshman Perrion Callandret had two shots at would-be lead-changing 3-pointers, but both fell off the mark.
"Obviously it's tough when you can't find a way to win a basketball game," Idaho coach Don Verlin said after the game. "It was the same story all night long, can't find a way to make a shot. I think we had a number of open shots from the perimeter, some drives, some college layups that we just weren't able to finish. To win, you can't let those opportunities slip away."
Idaho senior Stephen Madison led the Vandals with game-highs of 21 points and eight rebounds, while junior Connor Hill added 19 points on 7-of-15 shooting. Junior Mike Scott, who made the start at point guard for the injured Glen Dean, finished with 12 points, six rebounds and five assists without a turnover.
The Vandals shot just 37.9 percent from the field, going 22-for-58 and just 2-of-16 (12.5 percent) from 3-point range. Idaho connected on 20-of-29 free throw attempts. The Wolverines shot 46.0 percent (23-of-50) in the game and 8-of-17 (47.1 percent) from 3-point range, and owned a 38-32 advantage on the glass and a 16-9 lead in second-chance points. UVU had seven blocked shots in the game, including four from 6-foot-9 center Ben Aird.
"I always think a good sized guy in there makes it difficult," Verlin said of Aird's presence. "But again those are college layups that we have to finish and when you look at the stat sheet at the end of the night and you shoot 37 (percent from the field) and 12 (percent from 3) you're probably not going to win a basketball game."
Idaho committed just six turnovers in the game, the second fewest this season, and forced UVU into 14 giveaways, leading to a 12-7 lead for the Vandals in points off turnovers.
The Vandals remain at home when they host Bakersfield on Jan. 18 with a 7 p.m. tipoff in the Cowan Spectrum.
"As I challenged the team in the locker room afterwards, you got to forget about this one and look forward to the next," Verlin said.

Is it just me, or has this winter been the pits for so many of us? If it's not snowing, it's freezing, and if it's not snowing OR freezing, it's raining … sideways. Apart from all the mess and danger caused by this buffet of precipitation, the real problem is that it's a fashion nightmare. How to look cute in such weather? It isn't easy.
Step 1: Invest in a good pair of waterproof boots that are marginally cute. Leave it to the tween set to sport hot pink and other confectionery colors, and opt for black, brown or gray. Keep them simple (blends more, especially when wearing with tights and skirts). Go for a rugged look; it's chic this year (chunky rubber soles, fur rim, etc.). I'm loving all the buckles and laces … makes me feel like I'm really fighting the elements, like some sort of urban explorer. But don't be held captive by closers: Do yourself a favor and make sure you can get in and out of them without having to struggle with said laces and such (you walk in your front door, you're dripping, your arms are full with who knows what—this, my friends, is a time for hands-free undressing).
Step 2: Wear color around your face. I'm talking about pretty scarves, gals. Step away from the black! Look for blues, greens, corals … just find a hue that flatters your skin tone.
Step 3: Add sparkle. How about a scarf with a little embellishment? A little beading, a few sequins, that sort of thing. Or you could add a cluster of pretty brooches to the lapel of your coat. Why not go for a giant, glittery hoop earring? Sparkle is good. Sparkle is happy. Sparkle catches the light and will make you look like a magical princess (OK, maybe that's a bit much, but you get the gist).
Step 4: Try a hat. Read my recent blog about the beauty of berets for everything you need to know.
Step 5: Wear lipstick. I know, I KNOW, it's something June Cleaver would have said, but I'm telling you that swiping your lips with a pinch of rosy gloss adds instant glow.
And when all else fails, remember this: Summer will be here before we know it, and by then I'll be complaining about all the humidity.
Go! Buy! Be chic!

Consider the problem
$$-\Delta u = 0 \mbox{ in }\Omega,\qquad \partial_\nu u+\tau u=g\mbox{ on }\partial\Omega,$$
where $\Omega\subset R^n$ is a bounded $C^2$-domain, $\tau>0$ is a constant, and $g\in L^p(\partial\Omega)$, $p>2$. What is the optimal regularity for the solution to this Laplace problem?
Of course, we cannot expect a strong solution $u\in W^{2,q}(\Omega)$, say, because in that case $g=\partial_\nu u+\tau u\in W^{1-1/q,q}(\partial\Omega)$, which is "too much", in general. So we will only find weak solutions. There are a bunch of results by Mitrea and Mitrea on problems like this for $p\in(1,2]$ in Lipschitz domains, but what about larger $p$?

We all know at this point PD can pretty much live though anything, its like a fucking cockroach compared to other forums. Even though PD is alive currently, it would be great if we got more members. I know in the past efforts to get more members are usually halted by the thought "they are gonna suck." But remember those members do get slightly better and in the meantime they are fun to mess with and troll, as can be seen with Dogar. Who wouldn't want more of Dogar's trolling episodes?
The main issue is that outside of misc, PD is dead, plenty of guest view PD all the fucking time, but never post because they look at any pokemon forum and realize its dead. I have even tried to get some of my good friends to post on PD, they look around and quit as soon as they see no one has posted in general pokemon in over a month, and don't come back
My solution: post not in misc once a day
That is all I ask, and I mean everyone, from Justin to God. I am going to make a post a thread day in the pokemon forums, please just make a post in it. At the very least it would make PD look active and get people to post on it. Its going to take like 30 seconds of your time and may bring a ton of people.
Other ideas could be cool to whatever. At the very least I make a ton of threads for Dragonite and once a 6th month newb to jump off from and increase my post count.

Comments about Women's Shearling Slippers:
I'm wearing the mens version as I write. They have this neat trick of snuggling the toes when a person lifts their big toe. Add to that they are cool enough to run around in and what you have is a winner, Mine got chewed by our dog when she was a puppy so I slapped a small piece of duct tape over the tear and kept of trucking. They are built like iron.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Good quality, order large
By Marie
from Albuquerque, NM
These slippers are good quality. The fleece is nice and warm. I normally wear a size 7.5, so ordered a size 8, which was still too snug for a comfortable slipper. If you want a snug fit, order half a size larger. For a comfortable slipper, order a full size larger and I think you will be pleased.


text: Black Marrows are named for their dark colored hides which are encased in a distinct exoskeleton. Their skull and the top edges of their spine push out from under the skin as they age. As such, their young need excessive amounts of calcium for this armor to develop. The older a Black Marrow dragon is, the more skeletal their appearance. They often use their skeletal looks to lure in foolish scavengers or terrify predators. These vicious dragons love nothing more than to crack open bones with their stony beaks and eat the marrow inside. Voracious scavengers, Black Marrows will swarm and devour corpses both old and fresh, sometimes even dragging larger finds to the water to allow them to "ripen". Despite their dreadful demeanour and often horrid stench, Black Marrows are devoted mates and parents.

Long John Silver's "Big Catch" is Worst Restaurant Meal in America, Says CSPI
Lab Tests Find 33 Grams of Trans Fat in Meal of Fried Fish, Onion Rings, and Hushpuppies
July 1, 2013
Update: On August 28, Long John Silver's announced that it will discontinue the Big Catch and transition to a trans-fat-free frying oil by the end of 2013. "Partially hydrogenated oil does not belong in the food supply and we are glad that Long John Silver's will, by the end of the year, transition to a trans-fat-free oil for frying," said CSPI executive director Michael F. Jacobson. "We appreciate the speed and seriousness with which Long John's Silver's leadership addressed our concerns and made this important change for the better."
Laboratory tests released today by the Center for Science in the Public Interest show that Long John Silver's Big Catch meal, when comprised of fried fish, Hushpuppies, and Onion Rings, has an astonishing 33 grams of trans fatthe most powerful promoter of heart disease in the food supply. On top of that, the meal has another 19 grams of saturated fat, which also promotes heart disease, and nearly 3,700 milligrams of sodium, which promotes high blood pressure and stroke. It's easy to find fast-food meals with more caloriesthe Big Catch has "only" 1,320but when it comes to clogging arteries, CSPI says the Big Catch is by far the "Worst Restaurant Meal in America."
America's Deadliest Catch: 33 grams of trans fat in one meal.
What most startled CSPI researchers was the 33 grams of trans fat in the Big Catch meal, all of which comes from industrially produced partially hydrogenated frying oil. The American Heart Association recommends that people limit themselves to about two grams of trans fat per dayor about as much as one might consume from naturally occurring trans fat in milk and meat. In other words, Long John Silver's Big Catch meal with onion rings has 16 times as much trans fat as the heart association recommendsmore than two weeks' worth.
"Long John Silver's Big Catch meal deserves to be buried 20,000 leagues under the sea," said CSPI executive director Michael F. Jacobson. "This company is taking perfectly healthy fishand entombing it in a thick crust of batter and partially hydrogenated oil. The result? A heart attack on a hook. Instead of the Big Catch, I'd call it America's Deadliest Catch."
Most major chains have stopped using partially hydrogenated oil altogether, in response to bad publicity, lawsuits, and local government restrictions on its use. In 2006, before a CSPI lawsuit prompted KFC to stop using partially hydrogenated oil to fry its chicken, the worst meal on the KFC menu had 15 grams of trans fatless than half the trans fat in the Big Catch with Onion Rings.
"Trans fat from partially hydrogenated oil is a uniquely damaging substance that raises your bad cholesterol, lowers your good cholesterol, and harms the cells that line your blood vessels," said Walter C. Willett, chair of the nutrition department at the Harvard School of Public Health. "It might have been defensible to use hydrogenated oil in the 1980s, before trans fat's harmfulness was discovered, but no longer. It is outrageous that Long John Silver's foods are still loaded with artificial trans fat and that the FDA still permits it in foods."
Also, CSPI charged that Long John Silver's website greatly overstates the amount of actual fish in the Big Catch meal, and greatly understates the amounts of trans fat and sodium in the side orders. "It's the largest fish we have ever offered, weighing in at 7 ounces to 8 ounces of 100-percent premium haddock caught in the icy waters of the North Atlantic," Long John Silver's executive Charles St. Clair stated in a press release. Its television ads boast that the haddock is "3X bigger," though it wouldn't be clear to consumers what it is three times bigger than. (Almost-invisible print indicates that the haddock is three times bigger than "one piece of uncooked Alaskan pollock" of unspecified size.) In fact, once CSPI researchers carefully removed the breading from the fish, they found an average of about four and a half ounces of actual fish and almost three ounces of oil-soaked batter.
Piracy: Long John Silver's advertises seven to eight ounces of haddock, but CSPI found much less.
"It turns out that when Long John Silver's says 7 to 8 ounces of 100 percent haddock, it's more like 60 percent haddock, and 40 percent batter and grease," Jacobson said. "Nutrition aside, that's just plain piracy."
Long John Silvers does not disclose nutrition information for the haddock used in the Big Catch since it is a temporary addition to the menu, but it does list nutrition information for its regular items. While Long John Silver's claims its Hushpuppies have 3 grams of trans fat, CSPIs lab tests found 3.7 grams. A much bigger discrepancy was found in the Onion Rings. While the chain claims an order contains 7 grams of trans fatstill a huge amountCSPI's lab tests found 19.5 grams of trans fat. CSPI's lab tests found another 10.4 grams of trans fat in the fried haddock. CSPI also found the chain understated saturated fat and sodium in the Hushpuppies and Onion Rings.
Finally, packaging for the Big Catch meal uses the word "lean" to describe its haddock. Haddock ordinarily is lean, but CSPI says the use of the word is deceptive when used in connection with such a high-calorie meal rich in artery-clogging fat.
Today CSPI formally notified Long John Silver's CEO Mike Kern that the chain will be sued if it continues to use partially hydrogenated oil in its deep fryers and if it continues to misrepresent both the amount of fish in the meal and the nutrition information for the side items. Making its fried foods virtually trans-fat free should be easy to do, since by law, Long John Silver's outlets in California, Philadelphia, and Boston, as well as King County, Wash., and Nassau and Suffolk counties in New York comply with those jurisdictions' strict curbs on the use of artificial trans fat in restaurants. CSPI researchers telephoned multiple Long John Silvers restaurants in California, and all of them said they used canola oil in their deep-fryers, and not the partially hydrogenated soybean oil used in much of the rest of the country.
Also today, CSPI notified the Food and Drug Administration of its findings and urged the agency to revoke its approval of partially hydrogenated oil altogether. In 2004, CSPI petitioned the FDA to ban partially hydrogenated oil, as well as to require restaurants to inform customers when their foods were prepared with that benighted oil. The FDA quickly rejected the second petition, but has not approved or denied the call for a ban.
"It is extremely important to understand that the partially hydrogenated oil in Long John Silver's meals, other restaurant foods, and packaged foods are contributing to thousands of premature deaths annually," Jacobson wrote to FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg. "The FDA is failing its responsibility to the public by leaving that slow-killing ingredient in our food supply."

In a poll conducted in our Vallarta Lifestyles Newsletter last week, we asked our readers to chime in, in a scale from 1 to 10, on how much they would like to see Puerto Vallarta continue evolving as an artistic destination. Based on the answers received, we are pleased to discover that many of you agree with us on the fact that Puerto Vallarta could accomplish this goal. And will!
Indeed, for decades, Puerto Vallarta—and the rest of Banderas Bay—has successfully enjoyed a symbiotic relationship with the thousands of sun-worshipping tourists that favor our destination year after year. At the same time, Puerto Vallarta's full-time residents, some of which come from larger cities in Mexico and elsewhere, relocate expecting to experience some of their former cities' perks here, as far as art and culture are concerned. Last but not least, as Puerto Vallarta evolves into a mid-size city, it is increasingly attracting a different type of visitor: the traveler.
We could write volumes on the distinction between tourists and travelers, the expectations they have of the places they visit, and the different ways in which popular destinations are shifting their paradigms in order to appeal to them, together or separately. Instead, we are going to invite you to google the words "tourist traveler" together, or the phrase "difference between tourist traveler" so you can draw your own conclusions. In our opinion, both are good for Puerto Vallarta, but they definitely come here with slightly different goals and expectations. Suffice it to say that travelers will be more inclined to explore our destination's cultural options than tourists—nothing wrong with that.
Before we can address the notion of Puerto Vallarta becoming a more artistic destination, however, one would have to take stock of the offerings presently available to the general public, and provide accessible connections between them and said public. The good thing is, there are a number of organizations and individuals trying to make a difference through a broad variety of projects and efforts designed to develop and enhance Puerto Vallarta's artistic storefront. The very least we can do—"we" being those of us that feel strongly about nurturing this side of Puerto Vallarta—is make time to step into their universes and find a niche in which we might be able to contribute as well.
To that effect, we offer you, in a two-part article, a list of artistic movers and shakers in Puerto Vallarta. The list is far from complete. We are certain that we will, despite our best effort, omit the names of specific people or organizations, indadvertedly. It is simply a starting point, a work in progress, and an invitation to you, the reader, to help us fill in the gaps whenever possible. In no particular order:
Founded in 2011, Puerto Vallarta's Youth Orchestra and Music School (OEPV) seeks to develop musical and collaborative skills among our city's children and young adults through after-school music programs. The orchestra performs several times a year in different venues in the city, from Teatro Vallarta to popular neighborhoods throughout Banderas Bay.
Find the OEPV online through their Facebook page. The orchestra's school is located in Pitillal, where students receive their education in specially adapted classrooms. On occasions, the small stage at the school is used to present performances open to the general public.
Founded as an umbrella organization for all things related to film and video production, Filma13 develops film screenings, film festivals, along with specialized courses and workshops, all designed to stimulate and develop interest in filmmaking locally. Workshops include a variety of topics, such as screenplay writing, production, direction and photography. Most notably, Filma13 is known for their ongoing free film screening series taking place in Marina Vallarta and Isla Río Cuale at La Cuiza.
The easiest way to connect with Filma13 is by attending their free film screenings, advertised on their Facebook page. They are frequently followed by lively debates. In addition, Filma13 is in the process of putting together a short film competition, to take place sometime during the Fall. Filma13 is also interested in connecting with local businesses that may be interested in sponsoring the free film screenings financially, in exchange for publicity. Film and equipment donations are also welcome. For more information, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
The brainchild of dancer/choreographer Melissa Castillo, Cartelera Escénica (literally, performance billboard) was developed to create quality performance opportunities for local and visiting artists, with an emphasis on alternative, experimental projects. To make this happen, Castillo has forged a successful relationship with the CECATUR Auditorium, a 300+ seat theater located two blocks away from Puerto Vallarta's Guadalupe Church, that, prior to Cartelera Escénica, went largely underutilized.
Cartelera Escénica schedules performance pretty much every Friday evening, throughout the year, in which you can expect to see a broad variety of acts, from classical and contemporary dance, to alternative theater, to classical and rock music performances, and so forth. And while some of them may only be of interest to Spanish-speaking audiences, most have universal appeal.
The best way to connect with Cartelera Escénica is by attending their performances and spreading the word about them. In addition, organizers are constantly looking for volunteers working during performances, from box office to backstage. Cartelera Escenica is an independent, autonomous enterprise. As such, they gratefully welcome donations and sponsorships from the general public, along with in kind items, such as food, lodging or transportation of visiting artists. You can find Cartelera Escénica online at their Facebook page.
Founded in 1993 by a group of private citizens concerned about Puerto Vallarta's cultural wellbeing, Los Mangos Public Library has become an epicenter of cultural and artistic activity in the city. Aside from maintaining an updating an inventory of books selected to increase the knowledge and cultural development of the community, Los Mangos Public Library offers a broad variety of courses, workshops, performances, exhibitions and other activities for children and adults, all designed to reflect the needs of our destination.
Los Mangos' bilingual website www.bibliotecalosmangos.com, features comprehensive information on the library, its many programs, and ways in which you can become involved with this very important project.
Founded in 2002, the Peter Gray Museum was established at the Centro Universitario de la Costa, the Jalisco State University local campus, as a place where students and the rest of the community would be able to have access to, and enjoy a vast collection of art works donated by its founders, Peter and Buri Gray. One of the museum's most successful programs consists of ongoing art encounters for elementary school students in which they are guided by Puerto Vallarta-based visual artists through a series of activities designed to develop their visual and artistic skills.
The Peter Gray Museum features special exhibits and other activities throughout the year, welcoming the population at large to visit the museum anytime. Their website, www.museodeartepetergray.mx, includes links to their Facebook page and Twitter accounts.
Vallarta Azteca is the folk dance troupe headquartered at the Puerto Vallarta CECYTEJ (Colegio de Estudios Científicos y Tecnológicos del Estado de Jalisco), a network of science- and tecnology-oriented public junior high schools located throughout the state of Jalisco. Founded by the students themselves, the ensemble has become influential for the large number of events they organize on an ongoing basis. These include over a thousand performances in almost a decade, 11 national tours and four international journeys through the rest of the continent and several European countries. Vallarta Azteca created the Puerto Vallarta-based National Folkloric Dance Festival, an increasingly influential event that brings together some of the most important folkloric dance troupes of the country for a delightful cluster of performances that take place in several venues in town (the seventh annual edition of the festival took place April 25 - 28).
Look for performances at Teatro Vallarta and other venues by visiting their website, www.vallarta-azteca.com, or their Facebook page.
In Part 2 of this article, we will present you with the remainder of organizations we've researched for this article. If you know of any organization or individual that should be added to this resource, please do not hesitate to contact us via email! Please include the name of the organization/person, and the reason why you think they "move and shake" in Puerto Vallarta.

AN A-Level student feels the initiative from the Government could really help people in his age group consider their future education for the better.
Ryan Collins, 17, of Coombes Grove, Rochford, is studying in the sixth form at the King Edmund School, in Vaughan Close, Rochford. He is taking A Levels in IT and hospitality.
The teenager thinks any help politicians give to students coming to the end of their GCSE education at secondary schools around the UK could be very beneficial for their futures. Ryan said: "Overall, I believe giving pupils help coming to the end of their GCSEs would be a great help.
"I think pupils should be encouraged to look at further education routes if it is to consider moving into doing A Levels – or do something like an NVQ qualification or start an apprenticeship.
"There are plenty of different types of qualifications people can achieve after they leave secondary school, and I think there is something for everyone.
"If a friend asked for my advice, I would tell them to look at as many options as possible and think what they want to do, because at the present moment in time, it is crucial to have some sort of qualification to help you out.
"I hope the idea from the Government does go through because it could be a real help for getting people to make the right choice for their life."
Celebrate practical people
BUSINESSMAN Andy Starr thinks it the changes are a good idea, but admits it is not a cut and dried issue.
He says: "If people who stayed on feel happy that's great, but we must not have a lost generation who would be happier working their way up and not fast tracked academically.
"Raising the age may make the divide wider. Politically, the current generation present a problem," adds Andy, who left school at 16 and has since set up the hugely-successful Rollerworld in Colchester.
"The internet revolution has rationalised so much.
"If there are not the jobs for 16 to 18-year-olds, then education can fill that void.
"Being a practical hands-on person should be celebrated."
Andy says he believes raising the school age will increase knowledge. "We need to produce more academics. But our greatest need is for doers who can shape the next generation."
He agrees there should be two types of education from 14 – one for people who have struggled to go to university and need a practical path, and another for those who are academic.

Some frequently asked questions about renters in condos.
What rights to the use of the common elements do renters have?
Florida Statute 718.106(4), states that: "When a unit is leased, a tenant shall have all use rights in the association property and those common elements otherwise readily available for use generally by unit owners.
In other words, the renter has the same use rights to the pool, clubhouse, etc. as the other unit owners.
Does the landlord lose his use rights to the common elements?
The statute continues to say "the unit owner shall not have such rights except as a guest, unless such rights are waived in writing by the tenant. Nothing in this subsection shall interfere with the access rights of the unit owner as a landlord pursuant to Chapter 83. The association shall have the right to adopt rules to prohibit dual usage by a unit owner and a tenant of association property and common elements otherwise readily available for use generally by unit owners."
Yes the landlords use rights can be taken away.
If the landlord gives his tenant a Power of Attorney can the tenant attend a meeting of the board of administration?
Normally tenants do not have the right to attend meeting since they are not owners. However, with a Power of Attorney they may attend and speak at meetings.
Link to DBPR Declaratory Statement on this issue: http://www.myfloridalicense.com/dbpr/lsc/documents/2006/ocean_dunes_2006_018.pdf
Can a condominium prohibit a tenant from having a pet even though the unit owners are allowed to have pets.
Yes, Many condominium associations have restrictions prohibiting tenants from having pets, even when the unit owners are allowed to do so. If tenant pet restrictions are validly adopted and uniformly enforced, they will usually be upheld

At Frederick Memorial Hospital, our passion is patient safety. To maintain this focus, FMH created a Patient Safety Committee and several other teams that focus on patient safety areas identified at both the state and national levels as areas in which healthcare providers could have the greatest impact. A system of dashboards was created so that providers could quickly and easily discern their progress in complying with recommended patient safety standards and gauge their effectiveness when compared to like peer groups.
Hospital Compare is the federal governments site that allows you to compare a hospital's competence relative to patient safety. You can see for yourself how FMH is performing relative to other Maryland regional hospitals.
Errors are mistakes that can happen in health care. The government, health care agencies for patient safety, doctors and others are working hard to prevent medical errors. The following tips -- developed based on studies by medical researchers -- cover what you can do to help keep yourself and your family safe.
To help you keep track of your medications, here is a Medication Log Sheetyou can print out, fill out and bring with you everytime you come to the hospital.

A teacher, a student and a 39-year-long lesson in forgiveness
The beauty of an apology is that everyone wins because it reveals not only who we are, but who we hope we are.

Brett Keller » Hunger Games survival analysis
The only statistically significant effect (at the traditional and arbitrary cutoff of P<0.05) comes from the Gamemakers' rating variable. The career dummy variable just misses the cutoff (P=0.065) and might be significant if we had a larger sample size and saw similar trends in the data, but effect is in the wrong direction: holding other things constant (sex, age, and Gamemakers' rating), Careers do less well than non-Careers! Of course, this only happens in this analysis because Peeta and Katniss (but mostly Katniss) are awesome.
The Romneys' Mexican History
This state of feeling in between, I would soon learn, defines nearly every aspect of Mormon life in the old colonies.

The Port Huron Statement: Still Radical at 50 — In These Times
To mark the 50th anniversary of Port Huron–and what we hope is the dawn of an enduring youth movement–In These Times asked 14 activists, ranging in age from 21 to 72, including three people who attended the Port Huron convention, to reflect on what that statement offers us today. Their responses follow, preceded by the portion of the statement they found significant.

I could have ripped up these counterfeit boarding passes in the privacy of a toilet stall, but I chose not to, partly because this was the renowned Senator Larry Craig Memorial Wide-Stance Bathroom, and since the commencement of the Global War on Terror this particular bathroom has been patrolled by security officials trying to protect it from gay sex, and partly because I wanted to see whether my fellow passengers would report me to the TSA for acting suspiciously in a public bathroom. No one did, thus thwarting, yet again, my plans to get arrested, or at least be the recipient of a thorough sweating by the FBI, for dubious behavior in a large American airport.

U.S., Mexican and Canadian Dignitaries Discuss Democracy, Elections and Human Rights
Speakers addressed the issues of reforming election protocols in Mexico, the need for strong leaders to overcome political polarization within North America, and the importance of Canada, Mexico and the United States working together more closely in two panel discussions that followed a luncheon honoring SIS Professor Robert Pastor on March 5.
The two panel discussions were: "Democracy, Elections and Human Rights" and "The North American Community." Participants included: Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, Mike Posner; former Foreign Minister of Mexico Jorge Castañeda; former Prime Minister of Canada the Right Honorable Joe Clark; and former President of Panama Nicolas Ardito-Barletta.
Professor Abe Lowenthal of the University of Southern California said, "We need to recognize the importance of Mexico and our shared interests and responsibilities without generating dependence and instability. How can we train the future leaders of these countries?"
Speaking on the lack of cooperation between the U.S. and Canada, Professor Stephen Clarkson of the University of Toronto said, "The U.S. is building walls - electronic, bureaucratic and economic walls, so it's harder for goods to cross through."
While the political opinions of the experts differed, all speakers began their remarks with praise of Pastor and his scholarship, and they all agreed with Lowenthal, who said that Pastor, "thinks creatively, tenaciously and frankly. He has contributed immensely to academics."

Rick Rogers as Doc in the '60s television series Combat.
Almost every morning, my Park City friend and neighbor of more than 20 years, Rick Rogers, slowly and methodically struggles by me. He recognizes me—saying, "Hi, baby," but he doesn't remember my name. I watch him carefully as his steps are measured; his cane gripped firmly in his left hand helps him maintain his balance as he struggles to put one foot in front of the other.
Like the beat of a metronome, his left leg painstakingly inches in front of him directly followed by the thrusting forward of his paralyzed right leg and frozen right arm to complete each step that measures less than 12 inches. That's his gait, granted it's tortured and agonizing for him as he makes this arduous quarter-mile walk. Each step is a hope-determined action: a way to get well, a way to begin to retrain his brain that was so dramatically altered five years ago by a stroke. God only knows what goes through his mind as he struggles with the effects of this beast that has left him with limited mobility and aphasia.
A former Hollywood actor (he was Doc in the 1960s TV series Combat with Vic Morrow), architectural and design aficionado, ace pool player and superb storyteller, this Renaissance man regularly trains with a therapist on the computer with routines to facilitate his mental acuity. As limited as he is, he walks daily and maintains a regular exercise routine. No matter the circumstances, he answers the bell every day.
I'm sure everyone with a disability has his or her own agenda for coping. Whatever strategy they have chosen, Rick Rogers and his resolute wife, Carmen, possess an indefatigable and tenacious desire to remain in the hunt, to be normal and to be accepted. For them, each step Rick takes, each word he speaks, each thought he expresses makes him a victor, not a victim.
When I see Rick on his daily odyssey, I recall my experience 30 years ago when I began the onerous process of learning to walk on crutches. Difficult, yes, but my fight with multiple sclerosis was just beginning. During this process, the person next to me was a 7-year-old amputee and cancer patient, who in comparison made my challenge seem small. Tears welled up in my eyes as I watched this youngster struggle. I quickly realized that this courageous child didn't want tears; he simply wanted to walk. During our daily lessons we cheered each other as each step, each lunge represented a victory over our disabilities. Today, I quietly cheer for Rick.
In the final analysis, life is really a test—only a test. It's probably the only one we'll ever take that we ourselves will grade. The manner in which we handle life's challenges and the adversities that confront us will go toward the grade we put on our lives. Rick gets high grades from those that know him, simply because he has taken responsibility for his happiness with great resolve and with the hope that things are going to get better because he wants them to be better.
May God bless him and all those who are struggling to make it through their lives. And may 2013 bring our readers only the best.

Minister Reynders discusses political transition in Myanmar with colleague and announces visit in March
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders received the Myanmar Minister for Foreign Affairs, U Wunna Maung Lwin, today.
Didier Reynders congratulated his colleague with the reforms that have been carried out in Myanmar since March 2011. The reforms have thoroughly changed the regime and the country. But the road to democracy is still long. Therefore, Minister Reynders encouraged Myanmar to continue carrying out the political and economic reforms. The minister also requested the unconditional release of all political prisoners and expressed his pleasure regarding the releases that had already been decided. He called for ethnical pacification in the country, especially within the states of Kachin and Rakhine.
The two ministers also discussed the sanctions placed upon Myanmar by the European Union, which will again be discussed in April. At this time, all sanctions have been lifted, with the exception of the arms embargo, which remains in force. Minister Reynders stated that the government's actions with regard to human rights, political prisoners and relations with ethnic minorities will play a role in the EU's position.
The minister also thanked his colleague because, as of 1 February 2013, Belgians will now be able to get a visa upon their arrival in the airports of Myanmar. This measure will strengthen the contact between the two countries.
Finally, Didier Reynders announced that he wants to visit Myanmar in March. During this visit, he wants to start up a strong bilateral relationship and express the Belgian support for the continuing opening process. The ministers agreed to examine the question of political prisoners, based on a list of names that will be provided in the run-up to the visit.
Didier Reynders' visit, which will be followed by regional economic missions, will be a step towards growing a stronger bilateral relationship, both politically and economically.

AR15/M16 Flat Top A4 Upper, Stripped
well when CFS failed to send the stripped upper i ordered last month---
i just happened on these stinger flat top uppers.
now stinger i think is made by mega machine --at least i know their lowers are. so these should be good parts if mega machined them.
they may be cosmetic blems -you know this is SARCO--LOL!
-i haven't got mine yet but it is in shipping. i'll report back when it comes in.
i got free shipping --so the stripped upper was $59 out the door. not bad for todays crazy world.
i think things are going to dry up fast or get very expensive in the very near future-- i figure when these are gone they'll probably be gone for good.
PS SARCO has charging handles and port cover kits in stock --they are out of forward assist kits-- i felt lucky to find a CH and cover kit--about everybody is out of um.

Carlotta, the OBT's number one performer and money-maker, is threatened by the Phantom, who wants to make sure his pupil Christine gets the recognition she deserves. The Phantom is ready to kill when he becomes insanely jealous over Christine's love for return missionary Raoul... but, you know, it's funny.
Phantom of the OBT ranks up there with the funniest of OBT's most-recent parodies, Y-Light and Robin Hood: Boys in the Hood.
Unfortunately, playwright and director Eric Jensen doesn't make a cast appearance like he does in the latter plays. Instead Elise Hanson (Giry) and Clarence Strohn (Buquet/Hobo) take over Jensen's usual comic-relief role.
In addition to Giry and the Hobo, Jensen gives each character his or her own way of being funny - each with a little quirk, and not a dry acting job in the show unless it's completely intentional. It's funny throughout, from the theatre tour guide (Rocky Revels) taking cell phone calls in the middle of his narration to the Phantom (Jacob Ulasich) in a hilariously climactic scene in the tunnels below Salt Lake City.
Ulasich plays the Phantom with the perfect amount of arrogance, shame over his looks and a very subtle retardation.
Six roles are shared throughout the run, and unfortunately we can't speak on performances from actors we didn't see.
But watch for scenes where the entire OBT crew opens a letter from the Phantom and Reginald St. Reginald tries to attack the Phantom, but misses. Both occur throughout the show and I wish I had them recorded.
Jensen also throws in nods to the locals, like he usually does. "This water looks like it has bubbles of toxic chemicals in it...probably just from Manga." He also pokes fun at proposals on the first date, Utah State football and other things you might have to explain to out-of-town friends.
But Jensen also plays off a lot of mainstream material, including appearances by Jason Voorhees, references to Lady Gaga, Celine Dion and another appearance too funny to give away. He makes them fit, along with current references from the news and pop culture, but mostly, the show makes fun of the source material - which is what a parody should be.
Set designers Jensen and Frank Ackerman really did a great job, too. Actually, a lot more was put into it than expected. The Phantom's lair, the "OBT" stage and Christine's dressing room were put together well in sort of a purposely-cheesy way.
Another highlight is April Joy Tritchler's vocal performance. Once again, very well done for a play that's supposed to be pretty tongue-in-cheek. Songs are also direct parodies of songs from Phantom of the Opera.
The line I most remember from Phantom of the Opera: "Pity comes too late, turn around and face your fate."
The line I most remember from Phantom of the OBT: "Educate yo'self, fool!"
Maybe the only downside is the play is that it takes a while to become funny. Don't expect laughs right off the bat.
Saturday night's show brought out a lot of couples, but no kids. This is one the kids will definitely love. So, bring the fam. It's also sort of a romance, so a late-Valentine's date isn't out of the question.
The show runs through March 19 on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays... and is worth seeing. Click here for more info or to get tix.

Rated 5 out of 5 by leici Yummy Tea! This tea is really, really good. Smooth and flavorful and not bitter at all. February 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by crazytealove Yorkshire Gold is a GREAT tea; Other Yorkshire teas by Taylors of Harrogate Not as Good Taylors of Harrogate makes amazing teas and its Yorkshire teas typically are blends of Assam (India) tea leaves with African teas - and in the Gold tea brand - the leaves are from Rwanda and the East African highlands - and picked at the peak of the season. This is a great, smooth and rich tea and I love it more than any other Taylors of Harrogate/Yorkshire teas. I am not a big fan of many of the other teas that World Market carries - as I don't like the Irish breakfast teas & PGTips - they are a bit too strong and lack the lighter taste that equator based African tea leaves or Keemum (China) typically add. So, when I saw that World Market had only Yorkshire's red label tea this weekend, I had to write a review to say that there IS a difference! Yorkshire Gold is a better tea and I really hope that World Market continues to sell this particular blend. It is really a fabulous blend - and yields a great morning "pick-me-up" taste! February 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kylie Good! I ordered three different brands of Breakfast teas a few weeks ago and this one was among them. Yorkshire Gold is slightly more bitter than the other two I tried, but it still tastes great! I really enjoy it! February 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by azguy Superb Quality Blend, Excellent Value Yorkshire Gold contains 50% more tea per bag (3gms vs 2gms)than most American teas and easily makes a full-bodied yet smooth 12 oz mug to start your day or get things back in focus when at work. Easily stands up to milk and sugar with no loss of flavor. Recommended brewing time 2-3 minutes. Warning: may become an indispensable part of your life. June 5, 2012

GE Hitachi deal with Va. utility could bring dozens of jobs
Published: Thursday, April 25, 2013 at 6:03 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 25, 2013 at 6:03 p.m.
GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy has signed a significant multi-year agreement with a Virginia utility that could immediately result in dozens of new jobs at its Castle Hayne facilities, a company spokesman said Thursday.
GEH will engineer its new ESBWR nuclear reactor design specifically for Dominion Virginia Power's North Anna site, spokesman Christopher White said.
It also will guide Dominion through the process of applying to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission for a combined operating license, or COL, for the reactor.
This is not a commitment to build a reactor, White said. Dominion would decide whether to build a reactor after it received a COL.
GEH's ESBWR, or Economic Simplified Boiling Water Reactor, has yet to receive final clearance from the NRC.
In 2011, GEH received the safety evaluation report and design approval from the NRC, White said. The final licensing step is the design certification, White said, adding "we expect that to happen in the coming months.
"One of the reasons Dominion chose GEH was because we could meet their time line for the COL."
White said the companies will not release financial terms of the agreement.
"However, we expect to immediately begin hiring dozens of engineers, project managers and other technical experts to assist in the project," White said. "If the project progresses, as we expect it to, it could mean many, many more jobs in the coming years."
"We are thrilled to work with Dominion Virginia Power to potentially bring the world's most technologically advanced reactor to North Anna," GEH President and CEO Caroline Reda said in a statement.
"Their long commitment to a diverse energy portfolio, close proximity to our global headquarters and advanced technology centers and familiarization with our technology make them a perfect partner."

Gael Garcia Bernal
Guadalajara, Mexico
"I go with the flow. Whatever music you play for me, I'll dance."
– Gael Garcia Bernal
As he drinks from the same cup of international success as his good friend Diego Luna, Mexican export Gael Garcia Bernal is a multifaceted actor and aspiring producer/director who improves his prospects with each new film that he shares with us. Having wowed his home audiences and international film fans in foreign language films such as Amores perros, Y tu mama tambien and The Motorcycle Diaries, he has now struck a promising new chord with North American audiences for his roles in recent indies like Babel, The Science of Sleep and The Limits of Control.
One reason why Gael Garcia Bernal may choose to wear a humble face when dealing with questions about his sex appeal is because he's at a point in life where his responsibilities and relationships have settled down. Having previously been involved with costars and admirers like Natalie Portman and Cecilia Suarez, he's now the long-term boyfriend of actress Dolores Fonzi and they have a young son, Lazaro.
As comfortable playing a political legend (Che Guevara in The Motorcycle Diaries) as he is a lonely dreamer (in Michel Gondry's The Science of Sleep), Gael Garcia Bernal has maintained a steady creative upswing since his beginnings in Mexican soap operas. Now tackling directing projects like Deficit and producing critically lauded films like Sin Nombre, Gael Garcia Bernal enjoys stretching his creative capacities, but he still gets the most satisfaction from acting. That's to be expected from a guy whose upcoming films will see him working with the lovely Amanda Seyfried (Letters to Juliet) and the master director Martin Scorsese (Silence).
Gael Garcia Bernal BiographyWith a model mother and director father, Gael Garcia Bernal entered the world with beautiful and creative genes, and after taking his first acting role as Jesus only a year into his life, his fate as an actor was sealed. Though he enjoyed learning about chemistry in school and teaching people to read, Gael Garcia Bernal enjoyed acting a whole lot more and became a soap opera star as a teen on Mexico-based hits like 1989's Teresa and 1992's El Abuelo Y Yo. The latter starred his fellow countryman Diego Luna, and the two of them were on their way to great heights.
After a university closure stalled his philosophy studies, Gael Garcia Bernal bid adios to deep thinking, Mexico and his soap opera hunk image. He left for London's well-respected Central School of Speech and Drama, where he was the first Mexican to study there. Another Mexican, director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, found him there and asked him to audition for the 2000 film, Amores Perros (known internationally as Love's a Bitch). Gael Garcia Bernal faked illness to leave school for a week and auditioned to play a dog handler in a forbidden romance with his very pregnant sister-in-law. The finished film was an acclaimed hit that was Oscar-nominated for Best Foreign Film.
gael garcia bernal stars in the motorcycle diaries and babelIf Amores Perros showed that Gael Garcia Bernal had the acting chops to carry a film, his next role as Julio in the spicy Oscar-nominated road movie Y Tu Mama Tambien (And Your Mother Too) proved that he had movie star potential. In the film, Gael Garcia Bernal also had the awkward task of kissing his good friend Diego Luna, but the actor received many kudos on the festival circuit for his performance, including an acting award named for one of his idols, Marcello Mastroianni, at the Venice Film Festival. In 2004, Gael Garcia Bernal pushed his acting abilities even further by embodying noted political figure Che Guevara in The Motorcycle Diaries and playing multiple roles (including drag queen) in Pedro Almodovar's La Mala Educacion (Bad Education).
Gael Garcia Bernal made the switch over to the English language for The King before teaming up with the eccentric director Michel Gondry for 2006's The Science of Sleep. In the film, he starred as an introvert whose dreams mix with reality as he romances Charlotte Gainsbourg. That same year, he re-teamed with his Amores Perros director Alejandro Gonzales Inarritu to play an alcoholic trying to cross the Mexican border in the Oscar-winning Babel, a film top-lined by Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett.
gael garcia bernal stars in deficit and letters to julietAlready a successful actor, Gael Garcia Bernal expanded his creative horizons by taking on additional producing and directing duties on his next set of films. 2007's Deficit played at the Toronto International Film Festival and featured him in an acting role. More importantly, it was Gael Garcia Bernal's directorial debut. He would stay behind the camera for 2008's ambitious effort 8, which was a collaborative collection of short films from eight different directors including Gus Van Sant and Mira Nair.
After costarring again with Diego Luna in the soccer comedy Rudo y Cursi (Rough and Vulgar) and top-lining the international drama Mammoth with Michelle Williams, Gael Garcia Bernal played a key supporting role in the 2009 ensemble crime drama The Limits of Control, directed by noted American indie filmmaker Jim Jarmusch. As he looks forward, Gael Garcia Bernal will continue to mesh with big name costars and highly respected directors. In 2010, he will costar with Amanda Seyfried in Letters to Juliet, about a woman who finds a letter addressed to the iconic Shakespeare character. He will also begin filming the 17th century-set religious drama, Silence for director Martin Scorsese.
