DNREC Secretary Collin O'Mara approved a permit last week that will allow the Delaware City Refining Company to restart a closed-loop cooling water tower.
Once restarted, the unit will help the Delaware City Refinery to achieve a required 33-percent reduction in cooling water withdraw from 452 million gallons per day to 303 mgd by the end of 2013, per an agreement with the state.
The reduction is expected to reduce incidents of aquatic life mortality.
"This project will significantly reduce the facility's long-standing impacts on aquatic life in the Delaware River and represents a critical first step towards bringing the facility into compliance with the Federal Clean Water Act in the next few years," O'Mara said. "Unlike some previous owners, DCRC is making the much-needed investments to improve the environmental performance of the facility."

Priscilla Knit Pencil Skirt-Sale!

Reviewer: Stacie (Pearland, TX) 10/6/2015
Great skirt! Love it!
I love, love, love this skirt! It is very flattering and wears well. A must for your closet!
Reviewer: Rita Collen (Racine, WI) 3/21/2013
Day to Evening Wow!
It has been difficult to find pencil skirts that fit me well. If they fit in the waist and hips, then they are too wide and matronly at the knees or vice versa; so I was a bit hesitant when I ordered the Priscilla skirt. I'm so sorry I waited. The Priscilla fits perfectly and has a serious WOW factor. I have equal waist and hip measurements, so I usually cannot achieve the hourglass silhouette the models on the website have; however, the cut of this skirt creates the illusion of a smaller waist and curvy hips. The skirt narrows a bit at the knees to create a shape that is flattering, slimming and even a little sexy. It's a magic skirt! As a bonus, the fabric has just enough cling to look good, but still moves with me and feels comfortable. This has quickly become my "go-to" skirt and is the perfect piece that takes me from day into evening with a quick change of shoes and accessories.

The intoxicatingly strange journey, "Upstream Color" visits the realities of a malicious thief, confused heroine and mysterious pig farmer in Shane Carruth's second Sundance appearance as writer, director, producer and actor.
Many questions were left unanswered and loose ends untied, but once I lifted any expectations of a clean, understandable ending, I could appreciate a deeper mythological perspective from this science fiction flick.
Amy Seimetz and Shane Carruth in "Upstream Color." Courtsey of Sundance Institute.
The heroine, Kris (Amy Seimetz), is forced to consume a supernatural worm, which leaves her brainwashed and obtusely connected to a pig. During her hypnosis, the brainwashing thief embezzles all of her money and forces her to read and memorize passages from Henry David Thoreau's "Walden." Upon sobering up from this perplexing abduction, the young woman finds her life has fallen apart as she loses her job and discovers her home a disgusting, bloody mess.
A piece of her now missing, she encounters a man, Jeff (Carruth), on the subway, with whom she's somehow linked. The pair quickly develop a co-dependent, disoriented relationship—even confusing each other's childhood memories and hiding from invisible dangers together.
Intermittently, the farmer, who surgically connected Kris with a pig, is seen feeding and caring for a drove of pigs. The stoic farmer is also seen in many other scenes, where it appears the other people are unaware of his presence. The scenes switching between pig and human lead to the question — how are these connected?
Unfortunately, the answer is never concretely delivered and most viewers, like myself, were left scratching their heads.
Proceeding the credit roll and applause, one audience member was overheard saying, "he better have some answers," before Carruth returned to the stage for Q&A.
"I always had a weird feeling like (the script) might sound crazy," the director said as the audience responded with soft laughter.
When the floor opened to questions, Carruth responded to an inquiry about the initial idea that bred the film. He explained he felt he was never participating in real conversations anymore, but merely going through lists of talking points. He wanted to have characters who had to build their identities from scratch based on the things around them, rather than preconceived notions of their identity.
Despite the confusing plot and unsettling cohesion, "Upstream Color" is beautifully crafted with an impressive score and powerful sound effects. The overall meaning is clearly up for debate since Carruth himself stumbled over his words trying to describe it.
This film won't become a mainstream hit, but will likely gain a cult following similar to Carruth's first Sundance showing "Primer." The unconventional setup was a bit too uncomfortable for my taste, but die-hard fans will appreciate the deeper philosophical interpretations.
Upcoming screenings:
Jan. 25, 6 p.m., Tower Theatre, SLC
Jan. 26, 2:30 p.m., Library Center Theatre, Park City

By the mid-1960s, Southern California had come into its own as a pop metropolis. Thanks to the surf sound of the Beach Boys, the region became identified with the sun-kissed dreams of white American teens, and producers like Phil Spector and Lou Adler were making classic singles that challenged the dominance of the New York scene.
At the same time, Los Angeles was developing a thriving folk scene around clubs like the Ash Grove and the Troubadour and McCabe's guitar shop. That scene served as a magnet to aspiring folkies from all over -- people like Roger McGuinn, John Phillips, Stephen Stills, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and Richie Furay, who had been inspired by the burgeoning folk revival that had begun on the East Coast.
By 1964, when McGuinn met David Crosby during a hootenanny at the Troubadour, the British Invasion had taken hold in America. When McGuinn and Crosby teamed up with Gene Clark, Chris Hillman and Michael Clarke to form the Byrds, they were as influenced by the Beatles as by Bob Dylan. The Byrds' music was a new hybrid -- electric folk-rock -- and in the wake of their success, there were dozens of bands playing clubs on the city's fabled Sunset Strip.
But it was the Troubadour, which had opened as a jazz club in the Fifties, that was the hub of L.A.'s new music scene. "On any given night, you'd have the kind of eclectic mix that was pure L.A., " said one musician. "You might have Phil Ochs, David Blue, Eric Anderson, Joni Mitchell, the Everly Brothers, Jackson Browne, Mick Fleetwood, Elton John, Harry Nilsson, every established or would-be rock journalist and wanna-be photographer. And, always, prodigious amounts of booze."
Texas exile Don Henley, who went on to form the Eagles with Detroit native Glenn Frey, remembers going to the Troubadour his first night in L.A. and seeing Graham Nash, Neil Young and Linda Ronstadt. Rick Nelson's Stone Canyon Band, one of the originators of L.A.'s country-rock sound, made its debut at the Troubadour, as did Poco, another country-rock group formed by Buffalo Springfield alumni.
By the turn of the decade, several of the artists associated with the Troubadour scene -- including Crosby, Stills and Nash, Mitchell, Young, Browne and Ronstadt -- were enjoying significant commercial success. Time magazine declared it the era of the singer-songwriter, and on the surface, the L.A. scene did seem to be dominated by singer-songwriters and country-rock bands. But the reality was that the music being made in L.A. was much more diverse, incorporating everyone from blues enthusiasts like Bonnie Raitt, Ry Cooder, Taj Mahal and Little Feat, to quirky composers like Randy Newman and Van Dyke Parks to eccentrics like Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention and Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band.
By 1976, Los Angeles had become the nexus of the music industry. This period climaxed with the phenomenal sales of the Eagles' Hotel California and Fleetwood Mac's Rumours. Each album sold more than 15 million copies. By the end of the decade, though, tastes had begun to change, and the focus shifted back to New York, where punk, New Wave and rap were gaining in commercial popularity.

ZF-11839: Security concern with Zend_Auth_Adapter_Ldap
I am using Zend 1.11.11. The Zend_Auth_Adapter_Ldap adapter makes an effort to conceal the password of the user in the stacktrace by doing a string replace on line 374.
$messages[] = str_replace($password, '*****', $zle->getTraceAsString());
However this method is not secure. Any password that happens to have the same combination of letters as other words in the stack trace can be derived by reading the stack trace. For example, If my username is "administrator" and my password is "admin", my stacktrace would look like this:
authenticate('*****istrator', '*****')
Anyone who reads the stack trace would immediately know the password for administrator is admin.

text: Shadow Walkers are a strange breed that possess the ability to slip between the planes of reality, becoming immaterial. This allows them to hide in the shadows, either hunting from the concealment of near invisibility or evading enemies. Though they become corporeal to mate or to eat, they spend most of the rest of their lives walking in the shadows. Shadow Walkers are wary creatures, though on dark autumn evenings when the leaves fall to swirl in the chill, rain damp air, they may be seen drifting out from the shadows.

Comment – October 23, 2012
I agree with the comments noted about BDO Mississauga and Burlington being poorly managed. There is a disconnect between the partners themselves. There are staff at both locations that have been at BDO for a long time and are comfortable with their jobs as they are protected by the partners they work for - and know it. They care about themselves and their "pets". The HR people are two faced and all for senior management ie partners. They act ike they are listening and able to assist with any issues, but then go running the head partners divuldging what you think is a confidential meeting. The two offices have senior administrators who do nothing but complain about their workload to their partners. If they are not happy they go running to the partner they do work for and cry fowel. The rumour mill is a joke. This organization needs to do ome house cleaning starting with the administrators and work their way up to the senior level. I would NEVER recommend BDO as an accounting source to anyone I know! Don't waste your time if you are contemplating a job with the BDO Burlington or Mississauga office.
Comment – November 5, 2012
Long hours, very little recognition, no support from partners or senior managers, unorganized... are some of the issues with working at BDO. High turn over of staff as they cannot seem to retain good people. I would not recommend working for BDO. The other 4 accounting firms are better managed, more supportive, recognize hard working staff, realistic work hours and compensation, work, life, balance!
Comment – November 8, 2012
I worked at the Mississauga office for over 2 years and found the culture of the company is not consistant with how things are really run in the firm. The firm is not well managed, process is not streamlined and some of the partners are very unprofessional. There is a lot of favouratism and if you do not play the game, you are a target. There is such a huge disconnect between partners and the staff. Manager are expected to work long hours and hope that a bonus will be given... think again. The administrators of the firm are a joke. All they do is complain about work, take 2 hours lunches and talk behind everyones backs. Can you say "two faces"? I have ard it first hand many times. I would not recommend working for BDO or at least the Mississauga office. Lack of loyality, work long hours and not be rewarded, no respect, lots of promises and no support from parners - all they want is to make sure they get their share of profits, selfish.

Are you prepared for the next generation of emission standards? Are you prepared to transition to a new diesel fuel? Are you prepared to incorporate new diesel engine technology into your already mixed fleet of diesel engines?
Ready or not, all three are inevitable—and are interrelated aspects of major emissions and environmental changes that will impact your vehicles and equipment within a few months. Here are the facts:
In short, government fleets intending to purchase on-highway diesel-powered vehicles in 2007 and beyond must transition to ULSD and budget for higher costs for fuel, capital, and fleet operations in general. Failure to make the transition to ULSD will destroy the emissions devices being engineered for the 2007 engines, causing major and costly damage to the engines themselves.
The transition to ULSD could be lengthy because several cycles of fuel deliveries will be required to purge residual sulfur remaining in both vehicle and bulk storage systems. Fleets should consider periodic testing of their fuel stocks as the transition progresses to assure the sulfur content is being reduced effectively.
Fortunately, ULSD will be "backwards compatible" and can be used in pre-2007 engines with little or no change in performance. Fleets wishing to continue using current No. 2 low-sulfur diesel (LSD) must segregate their fuel stocks and take steps to prevent the entry of No. 2 LSD into vehicles equipped with post-2006 engines. By Dec. 10, 2010, the No. 2 LSD fuel we're using today will no longer be permitted for use in the United States.
As fleets engage in this transition, they should be prepared for higher fuel prices, a reduction in miles per gallon due to ULSD's lower BTU, possible lubricity issues in older engines, and fleets in northern climates may need to address a lower tolerance to cold temperatures attendant with ULSD.
ULSD is specifically formulated to enable new diesel engine technologies to meet the tighter 2007 federal emission standards. The new technologies are largely built upon the cooled exhaust gas emission designs recently incorporated in 2002 diesel engines. In addition to cooled exhaust gas recirculating valves, engine manufacturers will add particulate-matter filters, larger cooling systems, oxidation catalysts, and some will add variable geometry turbochargers and redesigned fuel injection technology.
The particulate-matter filters will be a standard component on post-2006 diesel-equipped vehicles. Many of these filters will engage in automatic active regeneration where a small quantity of fuel is injected into the filter to facilitate burning of the particulate matter contained therein. This fuel injection process will heat the filter to 900° F. In many trucks, such as a fire engine, the placement of this filter will be a critical consideration in vehicle specifications. The specifier must ensure the proper placement of other frame-mounted equipment and the protection of the surfaces underneath the vehicle. The instant temperature spike created by the active regeneration process could cause material beneath a parked vehicle (like grass) to ignite, placing the vehicle in jeopardy.
These devices will require new diagnostic monitoring and periodic servicing, all of which will require higher levels of technical training for maintenance technicians. A new diagnostic protocol (engine manufacturer diagnostics, or EMD) is being developed for this purpose and will apply to diesel-powered vehicles rated above 14,000 pounds gross vehicle weight produced after January 2007. Material extracted from the particulate-matter filters during routine servicing will likely require hazardous materials treatment and disposal. This process may be uniquely important for government fleets because their vehicles seldom generate high enough operating temperatures within their duty cycles to burn off excess particulate matter shortening service intervals for PM filtration systems.
Because engine temperatures and air management are critical to the effectiveness of this technology, a new motor oil (PC-10) is being formulated for these engines. The new oil will be backward-compatible and usable in older engines. Due to the changes in oil formulation, fleets using extended oil drain intervals in older engines should implement oil sampling to determine the viability of the new oil in their particular operations. It's likely that oil change intervals, even in the 2007 engines, may be reduced because the additive packages may break down sooner due to the higher engine temperatures and lower tolerance for contamination.

I'm really open with sharing here, but closed in real life. We had some hurtful comments from family & friends when naming our oldest and I don't want to go through that again!

What other people said--I don't mind sharing on here at all but people IRL won't know the names of my future children until the babies are in my arms! And that's both for the sake of not wanting the names "stolen" and to postpone any judgment.

I wouldn't share IRL either - I'm prepared for my mom & MIL to hate my name, but I'm not worried about the berries! Since they've helped me pick the first name for my first (due in Oct), I'll be back looking for middle help as well. Berries are so international I think the chance of running into one with the exact combo is almost nil.

I'm not worried about sharing on Nameberry. I doubt anyone would use one of my combos anyway, they're chosen more for personal meaning than sound. Also, even if they did, it's not like I wouldn't be able to use the name still. I don't know them and most likely will never meet them, so who cares if our kids have the same name? I don't share IRL because if a friend or family member did decide to use one of my names, I wouldn't be able to use it anymore. Well, I guess technically I still could, but it would be awkward.

New Mexico homeowner shot 250-pound bear after it tried following him into house
Most of the time when an intruder is trying to break into a home, its someone looking for easy loot, not a 250-pound black bear. But as one New Mexico homeowner discovered last Friday morning, intruders come in all shapes and sizes.
According to a local news report, it was about 5 oclock in the morning when the bear was first spotted in a Cedar Crest neighborhood, about 15 miles east of Albuquerque. Witnesses say that the bear was acting hostile and aggressively moving towards people in the neighborhood.
Yet according to Sgt. Aaron Williamson of the Bernalillo County Sheriffs Office, when the bear moved into a back yard, the homeowner fired a shot to scare it away. The bear left, but a short time later came back, harboring even more aggression.
The homeowner then shot into the air a second time, attempting to scare the bear away, but it didnt even faze the animal. When the homeowner started to go back inside his home, the bear followed him and thats when the homeowner shot and killed it.

Greek Honey Nut Pie RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
- 4 cups chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup butter, melted
- 1 package (16 ounces, 14x9-inch sheet size) frozen phyllo dough, thawed
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- In a large bowl, combine the walnuts, brown sugar and cinnamon; set aside. Brush a 9-in. pie plate with some of the butter; set aside.
- Unroll phyllo dough; keep covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out. Layer eight sheets of phyllo in prepared pan, brushing each layer with butter and rotating sheets to cover the pie plate. Let edges of dough hang over sides. Sprinkle a third of the nut mixture onto the bottom.
- Layer four sheets of phyllo over nut mixture in the same manner; sprinkle with a third of the nut mixture. Repeat these last two steps. Top with an additional eight sheets of phyllo, again brushing with butter and rotating sheets. Fold ends of phyllo up over top of pie; brush with butter.
- Using a sharp knife, cut into eight wedges. Cut 1-2 additional sheets of phyllo into thin strips, rolling into rose shapes if desired; arrange decoratively over top. (Save remaining phyllo for another use.) Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown.
- Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine the sugar, water and honey; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Add vanilla. Pour over warm pie. Cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 8 servings.
Reviews for Greek Honey Nut Pie
"Labor intensive but worth it! Incredibly delicious and was loved by everyone!"
"It's 2am and my pie just came out of the oven. It's GORGEOUS . So much easier to cook than the traditional way. I added a cinnamon stick to the syrup. I can hardly wait to eat it."
"I made this recipe EXACTLY as printed. The only thing I changed was that I didn't fool with the phyllo roses on the top. It is absolutely delicious and it turned out perfect. I don't know why it's not just called baklava, because that's what it is. There's a Greek community nearby where I buy baklava all the time. This was my first attempt and it's as good as theirs. I like this recipe because it's a smaller quantity. Most recipes are for a 13x9 pan. I've always been intimidated by phyllo dough and I won't be anymore. It wasn't difficult at all. I cut mine into 12 wedges instead of 8 because it's such a heavy dessert. Can't say enough good about this recipe."
"I Love Baklava and am going to make this recipe because #1 it sounds so much easier than making Baklava and #2 to ameliorate the damage done by do gooders who think the public apparently must be protected from itself otherwise we're so stupid we'd eat the whole pie! Come on! Just because you're a health fanatic doesn't mean everyone is, or that someone can't indulge occasionally. Get over yourself!"
"My mother-in-law made this and used only 2 and 1/2 cups of walnuts and then added 1/2 cup raisins, 1/2 cup cranberry raisins, and 1/2 cup chopped dates. It was the best pie I've ever had. I'm making it for Christmas!"

Tsunami - January 2005: Sri Lankan child receives medical
Israel, by tragic circumstance, is possibly the world's leading
expert in dealing with mass casualty situations. Israel has gained vast
experience in responding to such situations resulting from war or terror,
leading to the development of extremely effective procedures for rapid and
effective response in case of emergency. This experience enables Israel to
quickly dispatch field hospitals and medical and search and rescue teams to
countries in the immediate aftermath of both natural and man-made disasters. In
addition, Israel often donates needed food, medicine and supplies in emergency
situations, constructs temporary housing and rehabilitates damaged medical
facilities where needed.
Among Israel's emergency relief missions:
The most recent major disaster relief mission was dispatched to Haiti,
after the desvastating earthquake in January 2010. An IDF search and rescue team
and field hospital were supplemented by relief teams from Israeli
NGOs, including ZAKA, IsraAid, F.I.R.S.T and Latet.
The Indian Ocean tsunami of December 2004 was one of the worst natural
disasters in history. Israel
sent 60 tons of aid to Indonesia, which was well-received by a country with
the largest Muslim population in the world, and no ties with Israel. The Israeli
government also sent 82 tons of relief supplies, including medicine, water,
food, blankets, tents, nylon sheeting and electric generators to Sri
Lanka. Magen David Adom, Israel's division of the International Red Cross,
dispatched additional urgent medical supplies to hospitals in Sri Lanka's
capital Colombo.
Israeli organizations were also involved in providing aid to Pakistan after
the November 2005 earthquake in Kashmir. An Israeli NGO, Israeli Flying Aid
(IFA) sent a mission to the region and provided thousands of families basic dry
food products, blankets, coats, socks, personal clay heating kits and iron
sheets to shield temporary shelters from heavy snow.
Major relief efforts in the past include:
IsraAID (The Israel Forum for International
Humanitarian Aid), founded in Israel in 2001, is an umbrella organization of
more than 35 Israeli and Jewish non-governmental organizations and other
individuals active in development and relief work around the world and concerned
about global issues. IsraAID and its members have provided relief assistance to
more than 20 countries including Rwanda, India, Mexico, Congo, Chad, Sudan
(Darfur) and Malawi.
The Fast Israeli Rescue and Search Team (FIRST) is an
Israeli NGO that sends search and rescue teams to disaster zones around the
world. FIRST has also provided relief assistance in Peru, Turkey, India, Mexico,
El Salvador, Greece, Armenia and New Guinea, among others
Israeli Flying Aid (IFA), an Israeli NGO,
provides life saving aid to people affected by natural and man made disasters
Save a
Child's Heart (SACH) is an organization that provides urgent
pediatric heart surgery and follow-up care for children from developing
countries. SACH was founded in 1995 and has since repaired the hearts of more
than 2,100 children from a wide variety of countries including China, Congo,
Ecuador, Angola,
Ethiopia, Eritrea, Rwanda,
Jordan, Russia, Sri Lanka and Ukraine as well as to children in areas controlled
by the Palestinian Authority.
LATET (Hebrew for "to give") - Israeli Humanitarian
Aid is an NGO established in 1996 and devoted to assisting populations in need
in Israel and around the world on a universal and equal basis.

It's officially fall—the season of cozy knits, pumpkin pie, falling leaves and sex. Lots and lots of sex. Welcome, autumn!
The German newspaper Die Welt reports that this is the best season for lovemaking, as male testosterone levels reach their seasonal peak and the hormonal glands of women are also most active, according to researchers.
So grab a quilt, start a fire, sip some wine and feel free to get a little frisky. You can always blame it on the weather.

World Educators for Sustainable Societies

Full Submissionwww.tratadodeeducacaoambiental.net
2nd Journey on International Environmental Education
for a just and happy world!
Rio +20 in the transition to Sustainable Societies.
We, educators from all over the world, now when our Planet once again brings forth the major issues that were addressed in Rio 92, we reaffirm our adherence to the principles and values expressed in planetarian documents such as Treaty on Environmental Education for Sustainable Societies and Global Responsibility, the Earth Charter, the Charter of Human Responsibilities, the Rio Declaration, among others. (1)
But it is not enough just to reaffirm! Plethora of theoretical references enlighten us, its the principles, values, policies and action plans proposed in the cited documents must truly out of paper, despite of the "development", that has kept 80% of humanity apart of the minimum conditions of life in Culture of Peace, with environmental and social justice. (2)
It is unacceptable that we still have wars, spending on weapons, a billion hungry and miserable, lack of clean water and sanitation for huge portions of humanity. It is unacceptable violation of human rights (gender diversity, ethnic, generational, social and geographical conditions), the loss of species diversity, culture, language and genetics, greedy gains, urban violence and all forms of discrimination and projects of oppressive power. (3).
The human manifestations in several countries for the overthrow of dictators of all kinds are indicators of the need for new proposals for organization of 7 billion humans. It is evident that governance and governability of the planet must be in the hands of local communities in which there must be the overall responsibility for the common good of humans and non humans and all natural systems and life support. (4)
We need to learn and practice other ways of making public policy from the communities, and State policies require to be committed to quality of life. Therefore, it is urgent to strengthen the processes educators committed to human emancipation and political participation in building sustainable societies, where every human community feel committed, active and included in the sharing of wealth and abundance of life on our planet. (5)
The Carrying capacity of Mother Earth is nearing its limit, due to the mode of occupation, production and consumption irresponsible of capitalism, which has become the global economical model, and now also features the Green Economy speech. For us, whatever concepts or terms used, the essential is that the socioenvironmental vision is always ahead. Building Sustainable Societies in Global Responsibility is based on the values of life to which the economy must serve. (6)
Sustainable Societies are made of environmentally educated citizens in their communities, where they decide for themselves and from their own needs what it means Green Economy, Sustainability, Sustainable Development, Climate Change and many other concepts that can be moved away of their original meaning or motivation - which is the transition for another world possible - , being co-opted o coined to serve the hegemonic liberal rationality. Each community can see and feel beyond words and semantics, while maintaining its course towards the planetary union, tracing its own history. (7)
Retake and to appropriate locally of these concepts under the force of the Planetary Identity empower learning communities, from the practice of dialogue, the sense of belonging and manifestations that are necessary to Well Being and individual and collective happiness. In these practices the essence of the spiritual dimension emerges as a radical practice of ethical valorization of life, respectful care to all living things, conecting hearts and minds through love. It is a process that empowers the individual to the practice of dialogue with oneself, with others, with the planetary community as a whole, restoring a sense of citizenship and overcoming the separation between society and nature. (8)
It must then ask: where is the role of Education for Sustainable Societies and Global Responsibility? The answer in the XXI century can be only one: in the center. In the center of daily life, of education management, policy management, economic and environmental management. Thus, environmental education is consolidated into another world, with environmental and social justice, ensuring the development of an effective participatory democracy that can assure the social, cultural and spiritual development of communities, as well as its social control. (9)
We want to establish and strengthen local and planetary action plans, which focuses an education able to unravel the structures of class and power between people, nations and institutions that currently exist on our planet Earth. (10)
Educating ourselves for Sustainable Societies means situate ourselves in relation to the current global system, to reshape our presence in the world, leaving the comfortable position of neutrality. Because education is always based on values, there will never be neutrality in education, whether formal, non-formal, informal, face or distance learning. (11)
Educators from all over the world agree that the way to real sustainability can be done by various currents or tracks which are based on values and principles that link to sustainability. Transformative Learning, Ecoliteracy, Popular Environmental Education, Ecopedagogy, Gaia Education, Environmental Educ-Action are some of them. All these currents have in common to bring contributions to the construction of new models of society, and all remind us of the need to develop knowledge, awareness, attitudes and skills necessary to participate in the construction of these new models, integrating them into our way of being, of producing, of consuming and belonging. (12)
More than ever we claim for an education able to arouse admiration and respect for the complexity of life support, with the utopia to build sustainable societies through the ethic of care to protect the bio and socialdiversity. In making this educational process, the transdisplinarity intrinsic to socio-environmental education leads to interaction between the various areas of science and technology and the different manifestations of popular and traditional knowledge. This allows the integration of existing knowledge and production of new knowledge and new social and environmental actions while carrying out the Dialogue between Wisdom and Care as High Technology in the Education for Sustainable Societies and Global Responsibility.

text: After reading "One Second After" I realized that I had been putting off some dental work, and I needed to get things caught up. Once I went into the dentist I found out that things were worse than I thought. I needed quite a bit of work. I'm all up to date now, but it really got me thinking about things. What are you going to do in a "post SHTF" environment for dental care, if there's a problem? Is there a "home dental work for dummies" book out there to help guide the average prepper through home dentistry?

In the third of a seven-part feature, we focus on the final group of $299-menu restaurants that will participate in this year's Restaurant Week, May 15 - 31. We will continue with the $189-menu participants and wrap up the series with all restaurants participating in Restaurant Week for the first time. Did you miss the previous installments? Look for a link at the bottom of the page!
Taste Restaurant @ Casa Cupula won last year's Readers' Choice Award in the "Best New Restaurant" category. Several months later, it continues to thrive largely due to its cohesive staff, consistent service and creative culinary inspiration served by chef Oscar Rito. It's secluded location is an unexpected surprise for most visiting for the first time.
Located right on Los Muertos beach, The Blue Shrimp's palapa dining experience is perfect for those looking for a nice, breezy sunset dinner, live music included. If it is seafood you are craving, The Blue Shrimp's Restaurant Week menu is definitely worth exploring.
The River Cafe's location on Isla Rio Cuale makes exploring the island right after lunch or before dinner an unavoidable experience. Spanning several blocks from the oceanfront pedestrian bridge to Gringo Gulch and Emiliano Zapata (left and right, respectively) it is an easy walk. Ask your waiter about the restaurant's exceptional Marta Gilbert art collection!
Serving outstanding meat cuts with the same finesse as the French offerings served at his landmark restaurant, Café des Artistes, Thierry Blouet's aptly-named Prime Steakhouse is conveniently located in Plaza Península, making it an easy reach for anyone, traveling from the south or north shores.
Few streets in Colonia Emiliano Zapata have the allure that Olas Altas has. And Trattoria Michel's corner location (at Olas Altas and Rodolfo Gómez) is perfect. Choose inside seating if you want a livelier, air-conditioned experience, or sit outside to enjoy a candle-lit dinner.
Being one of the most successful and elegant restaurants in town, Restaurant Week at Trio is something you must try, in order to truly appreciate the broad gamut of culinary experiences available throughout Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit. Beverages are not included in Restaurant Week menus. However, this is definitely a restaurant where you will want to splurge a little in their extensive selection of expertly-paired wines!
In part four of this feature we will begin exploring the $189-menu restaurants participating in Restaurant Week this year.

To Her Heart Health!
The Dallas American Heart Association's 2013 Go Red for Women Luncheon was dressed in red, but definitely in the black! The event at the Hilton Anatole hotel, co-chaired by Kate Rose Marquez and Virginia Rose-Harris, celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Go Red campaign and netted more than $900,000, the largest amount raised for the Dallas luncheon in its history. Garbed in all shades of red, the crowd of nearly 1,000 dined on heart-healthy Thai beef salad and listened raptly to keynote speaker and former first lady Laura Bush as she delivered sobering statistics about women and heart disease, and encouraged the crowd to avoid becoming one of those numbers.

He is a professional skateboarder. He is a model. He is from Draper. His name is Kevin Fedderson, and not only is he a rising star, but he decided to make an impact on kid's lives through the Boys and Girls Club.
We talked to Fedderson about everything he does today. With beautiful words, he showed us the importance of helping those in need and how he's skateboarding for change.
We know you're helping promote a healthy drink alternative to soda. Can you tell us why did you decide to promote it, what it is and why is it good for kids?
"I instantly knew I wanted to spread RevvNRG into the schools and public places. It is an all-natural powder you mix with water. It is cheaper than your everyday coffee or energy drinks. No jitters or crash, has full servings of fruit in it. So many vitamins and essential nutrients, acai berry, yerba mate, just to name a few. It is diabetic friendly and an appetite suppressant. I also love the fact it regulates blood sugar which can contribute to so many positive changes in the body. It is a clean-burning energy that supports you through the day. I am passionate about getting this into schools to replace sugary sodas. I know artificial ingredients only lead to problems now and problems in the future. Ingredients from the earth that haven't been tampered with will only do good. The earth has the things we need to be healthy. The human body is natural and composed of things of the earth so it's only right we put those things back in."
What is the greatest advantage of practicing a sport?
"I started skateboarding 12 years ago. I was 10 years old when I started. The sport is so important to me because it is limitless. Everywhere you go, everything can be turned into an obstacle to skate. Seeing your everyday environment as a type of playground for myself. Nobody can defeat skateboarding in a sense. Compared to sports drawn within lines and with rules and regulations, skateboarding is entirely free. You make it whatever you want it to be. I played soccer, basketball and others growing up, but skateboarding made me creative and confident in my ability to go outside the lines. The confidence it gave me led me to approach every dream I had without doubt or fear. I find myself in situations that I would of never dreamed of because skateboarding was a stepping-stone in my life. I am still amazed at how much a piece of wood with wheels can inspire and drive somebody into other aspects of life."
How can it make an impact on kid's lives?
"I know it can help kids because it takes so much determination and effort to progress. Landing a new trick is addicting, it is a good addiction that tends to void out the bad ones. I grew up in rough areas and had so many chances to take part in things that led many friends to jails and rehabs. I loved skating too much to care about anything like that going on around me. I know skateboarding gave me a career and fulfilled a dream, taught me tons and led me to the most important people in my life. I know it can do the same for others. Even if they don't want to be a pro skateboarder, if they can feel the creativity and confidence skating gives them, it can take them far in what they want to peruse and do in life."
What are the events you are doing in order to promote the charities effectiveness?
"I decided years ago I wanted to do charity. I received it growing up and know its effectiveness. I still remember vividly every donation that was made to my family and me. I knew I could impact some kids lives by donating essentials. I believe charity is how you pay your rent for your stay on earth. I guess I grew tired of talking about wanting to do things and make change. I had to actually do it. I had support of my mentors and friends. Watching them get excited to shop for those in need only got me more excited and felt like I needed to make this such a regular thing.
Spending time with kids at the Boys and Girls Club did more good than I would have known. I left a recent event with them so inspired to let others know that its not just kids around the world needing help. It's kids you literally pass everyday on the road or at the store. They need people to believe in them. If you take a look around at how much we invest in ourselves every single day its crazy. I only spent three hours there and felt a life-changing shift. I knew if I could get others inspired to go out to any charity event and just do it... They would get addicted to. it's the initial transition out of the comfort zone to really get down to it and act on your desires.
I have received invitations to Bulgaria, LA, New York, China, and other countires all to donate or hang with the kids who have seen my videos. Budget and product has been the only temporary halt in going. We will go, it's just a matter of when. This is why I am here, to raise awareness and start a movement. If the kids look up to me, I instantly have a responsibility to do what I can for them. I know seeing my favorite pros come through town and even give me a "whats up" would get me pumped for days. So if I have kids who are stoked on me, I can only imagine what hanging with them one on one for a while will do. Sitting down with them, teaching them to skate, donating essentials. I get excited thinking about it. I know I can't do it alone. I hope I can tackle as many interviews and publicity as possible to gain a following for the kids. So many don't realize paper, pencils, shirts, lunch money, little tiny things are what they lack. They are so grateful for things we toss and neglect every single day. People don't realize how much going and buying a notebook with a pencil pack, or a T-shirt would mean to them. That shows a symbol of love to them which gets them energized and motivated to make something of themselves."
Visit the Boys and Girls Club's website for more info on the charity.

After a dental hygienist from Connecticut rammed her car into a White House barricade earlier this month and joined a growing list of bizarre attacks by those suffering from mental illness, people have become increasingly aware of the need for access to mental health services.
"It's really the instability of the world that's shaking up people that used to have been able to keep soldiering on," Maria Droste Counseling Services Executive Director Betsy Selman Babinecz tells Msgr. Kevin Sullivan during this recent episode on JustLove.
For decades, Maria Droste Counseling Services, an affiliate of Catholic Charities, has provided thousands of clients from the New York metropolitan area with affordable mental health care, Ms. Babinecz says.
Sponsored by the Sisters of the Good Shepherd, the agency is named for Maria Droste (1863-1899), a Good Shepherd Sister known for her ability to console those who came to her in pain. Services are provided to individuals (adolescents and adults), couples, and groups experiencing a range of social/emotional stresses due to troubled personal or family experiences, impoverishment or unemployment.
"More and more people are coming in just feeling on edge, keyed up, and not quite sure where their lives are going," Ms. Babinecz says. "Everybody is walking around with some kind of brokenness."
Dr. Kenneth Pargament, Psychology professor at Bowling Green State University, joins the conversation, defining what constitutes a mental illness and why its repercussions can affect all of us.

This hamlet, where Brother Nicholas of Flüe lived with his large family, has retained its country character. The hilltop chapel (1618) can be seen from afar and is dedicated to St Charles of Borromea. It is accessed by a stairway and an esplanade with fine views. The house where St Nicholas was born (14C) and his family home, both fine flower-decked chalets, are open to the public.

Last night I was fortunate to attend the Celebrate the Macallan event for the first time. It was a different setup to other tastings I've attended where all of the drams are laid out in front of you and it is a guided tasting. The venue was the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco, and we have officially entered the rainy season, so standing outside in the cold rain was something we decided against and headed off for a quick bite to return 15 minutes later and the line was finally moving. Check-in moved along quickly and we were greeted with the 10y Fine Oak- my favorite for the night.
There were roughly 200 guests and what turned me off about the event was that since it was a free event, there was not as much attention paid to the speaker Eden Algie, The Macallan US Ambassador, as he deserved. Very charming, funny and knowledgeable. His love for the company he represents really shines through.
This is my typical gripe with free Scotch Whisky events, there is an element of some people who are 'moochers' for free booze and make it difficult for others to really learn with the background noise. Regardless- the presentation was light yet informative with just the right amount of background and history (which is not too much) for the type of event that it was.
In all there were 5 pours. I could be wrong, because again, the noise level from the back of the room made it hard to hear everything.The other whiskies poured were 12 yr, 15yr, 18 yr, and the Macallan 25yr. Also presented was the iceball machine. Video below. And a few "oohs and aaahs" from this Lalique bottle.

Dancing With the Stars
THE PARTY The Women's Board of The Joffrey Ballet drew 800 guests to its annual Spring Gala. The evening kicked off with a performance at Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University, where patrons were treated to the premiere of the Joffrey Academy of Dance Artistic Director Alexei Kremnev's new piece, "Prokofiev Suite." In addition, the company performed Gerald Arpino's "Light Rain" and other pieces curated by Joffrey Ballet Artistic Director Ashley Wheater. THE SCENE Following the performance attendees were whisked away on trollies to the Hilton Chicago for cocktails and dinner in the Grand Ballroom. Company members joined them for an afterparty of dancing to DJ-spun tunes and live Latin percussionists in the Hilton's Blue Star Lounge. THE HIGHLIGHTS More than $1.2 million was raised for the Joffrey Academy of Dance and Joffrey Ballet's Community Engagement programs, which help the company positively impact children and young adults. For the first time the performance featured 100 students (including 40 trainees from countries across the world), illustrating the transformation of dancers emerging from the Community Engagement programs and ultimately taking a place with the internationally renowned company.

Craig Thomas back on morning radio
Published: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 9:05 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 9:05 a.m.
Local radio listeners will once again be able to wake up to Craig Thomas.
The longtime local radio personality returns to the airwaves Monday morning. He'll be on Carolina Christian Radio's Life 90.5 morning show, joining Jim Stephens, who has hosted the program for 20 years.
The show, which will air 7-9 a.m. weekdays, will feature Christian music, local news and weather and listener interaction.
"It's been a long time dream to work in Christian Radio where I can more openly express my faith," Thomas said in a release issued Friday. "I'm glad my path has finally led me to Life 90.5 FM and Carolina Christian Radio where I have long admired what Jim Stephens and the team have accomplished. I hope I can use my experience, as a Christian who only worked in the secular job world until now, to encourage others."
Earlier this month Thomas was let go from Sunrise Broadcasting, where he had co-hosted "The Craig and Sheila Show" on Sunny 104.5 with Sheila Brothers since 2009.
Before then, he had worked at local station WGNI for 19 years.

Ammon Scores OT Game Winner in 5-4 Win Over Dartmouth
Box Score
PRINCETON, N.J. (11/15/13) - Senior Andrew Ammon scored the game-winning goal with 11 seconds remaining to lift Princeton to a 5-4 win over Dartmouth, the team's second overtime victory over the Big Green this season.
Sophomore Jonathan Liau won the puck in the corner and found freshman Tommy Davis at the point. Davis fired on cage and Ammon redirected in the slot for the goal to give the Tigers its first ECAC victory of the season.
"The team played hard," head coach Bob Prier said after the game. "There were a lot of second and third efforts out there, and staying above checks and staying above pucks. They've always had a positive attitude throughout all of this and they've known it's eventualy going to happen and it did. Now we just have to understand that we're winners and we can keep it going and get on a roll that way."
Princeton (2-6, 1-4) rallied from a 3-0 deficit, scoring four straight. Junior Tucker Brockett had another career night, assisting on four of his team's goals. Liau and junior Tyler Maugeri both had two points, along with Ammon who scored twice.
"Our character has been tested heavily over the course of the last three weeks and I think it was revealing tonight," Prier said in regards to the team coming back from the deficit. "They just kept plugging away and kept a positive attitude, and that's the most important thing is having that positive attitude and that did it and I'm proud of them."
Dartmouth grabbed a 3-0 lead in the first 13:01 of the game.
Taylor Boldt got things rolling less than four minutes into the game as he put away a Geoff Ferguson rebound. Brandon McNally and Eric Neiley teamed up for the second goal, a power-play goal at 9:25. Neiley won the puck off the boards and skated towards the net, dishing off to McNally for the tally. The BIg Green added another at 13:01 when Tim O'Brien blocked a shot and took the puck down the other end for the breakaway goal.
Freshman Ryan Siiro put the Tigers on the board going top shelf with a power-play goal to close out the first period. Brockett had the puck at the top of the circle and fed Maugeri on the goal line extended. Maugeri sent the puck across the slot to Siiro inside the right circle and he fired in the goal.
Maugeri and Brockett teamed up again for the next Princeton goal. Brockett did some major work along the left boards during the power play and sent the puck into the slot for Maugeri who slipped it in between the glove and the post to make it a one-goal game at 12:03 of the second.
Brockett sent a give-and-go to junior Aaron Kesselman. Kesselman came up the right boards and used his stick and skates to corral the puck and centered for sophomore Mike Ambrosia, who went glove side on Cab Morris for the equalizer.
Ammon scored the go-ahead goal early in the third when he got the puck from behind the cage from Liau. Ammon took a shot that was saved by Morris and collected by Brockett at the left pipe. He circled behind the goal dropping puck off for Liau who found Ammon in the right circle for a shot over the shoulder of Morris.
Dartmouth's Brett Patterson scored a solo goal to knot the game back up at 4-4 at 12:25 when he stripped the Tigers on the boards during a breakout and skated in for the shot, collected his own rebound and scored.
Senior Sean Bonar made 28 saves in the winning effort for the Tigers who went 2 for 5 on the power play and 3 for 4 on the penalty kill.
Morris stopped 25 shots for Dartmouth, who falls to 0-7 on the season.
Princeton hosts Harvard tomorrow, Nov. 16 at 7 p.m. The Crimson lost 3-2 at Quinnipiac this evening.

When you were a child, you might have kept our fingers crossed for a snow day. Now you know the winter weather can lead to all sorts of trouble. The heavy snow, ice and extremely cold temperatures can lead to disasters at home. Winter storms can cause frozen pipes that lead to flooding, power outages, slick conditions and even home fires. Make sure your home is prepared and your family is practicing these winter safety tips to get you through the cold days ahead.
Winter Fire Safety
- Keep up with regular maintenance on heating equipment and chimneys by having them cleaned and inspected once a year.
- If you are using alternative heat sources, such as fireplaces or space heaters, make sure you have fire extinguishers on hand and that everyone in your house knows how to use them.
- Be careful if using candles during a power outage! Never leave a candle unattended and always keep them out of reach of children.
- Only buy heaters evaluated by a nationally recognized laboratory, such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL) & keep items at least three feet away while in use.
- Use a fireplace screen heavy enough to stop rolling logs and big enough to cover the entire opening of the fireplace to catch flying sparks.
- Test and replace old batteries in smoke alarms to make sure they are in proper working order.
- Always make sure the fireplace is completely out before leaving your home or going to bed.
- If the power goes off make sure that all electrical appliances are switched to the OFF position.
Preventing Flooding Due to Frozen Pipes
- Insulate pipes and allow faucets to drip a little during extreme cold weather to avoid freezing. Running water, even just a trickle, can help prevent the pipes in your home from freezing.
- If the pipes freeze, remove any insulation and wrap the pipes in rags. Completely open all faucets and pour hot water over the pipes, starting where they were most exposed to the cold.
- Make sure you know how to shut off water valves in case a pipe bursts in your home.
Other Home Safety Tips
- Clear rain gutters, repair roof leaks and cut away tree branches that could fall on a house or other structure during a storm.
- Portable generators should NEVER be used indoors. Always refuel these items outdoors and in well ventilated areas.
- When in doubt hire a contractor to check the structural ability of your roof. The accumulation of snow and ice can be heavy and pose a challenge to old roofs.
- If you will be traveling during the cold weather, make sure to leave the heat on in your home. Set the temperature to no lower than 55˚F.
For more information on these tips and more visit these websites to help you prepare for the winter weather.

Researching the impact of roads in the amazon jungle
Walking 2 hours on a dusty road with trees felled to the side and the sun blazing overhead is not your typical day in the rainforest. Unfortunately, it is for us who are studying the effects of this road that serves as a stark contrast and constant reminder of the influence humans can have in a once pristine habitat in the Yachana Reserve, Ecuador. Today, it's butterflies we're surveying, setting up baited traps at various distances from the road to see what species are found close, and what species are found far from the road. We've finally hit the relief of trees, canopy, and shade as we head in to the forest and set up our first trap. The bait isn't pretty: rotten fish, fermented in a closed jar in the heat of a tropical rainforest for over a week. Unfortunately for our noses, butterflies, especially less common ones, seem to love it.
I have heard this story told from rainforests throughout the world: Where there was once a small hiking trail to a distant community 4 hours away now lies a wide road with electrical poles, trees cleared along the side, and even asphalt. While the progress for the community can be immeasurable in access to medical care, increased standard of living, and ease of selling produce, the long-term damage that a road can cause to a rainforest's animals has simply never been measured. Roads serve as a tangible representative of development and disturbance in the area. As more people live in an area and more products are created to sell, the more a need for a bigger, better, safer road there is.
As roads get used more, studies have shown the following not-so-great things tend to happen and can have a long lasting affect deep into the forest:
In our situation, we're hoping to measure the change in road (narrow to wide) as a change in animal populations surrounding the road, then, now, and when the asphalt comes. We're surveying birds, butterflies, reptiles, amphibians, and mammals to see if we get different levels of diversity and different species closer to the road compared to further from the road. We're in the middle of data collection for the widened road state, spending hours in the field each day and night catching, identifying, and measuring animals.
As roads leading up to Tambopata demonstrate, Peru is no stranger to road impacts. This study being done in Ecuador will hopefully help future policy and engineering decisions about how, and where, to build roads in or near such rainforests. With the IIRSA roads built across Peru and more being asphalted, the increased impact of humans is bound to be occurring. Let's hope for responsible government decisions that will keep the roads benefitting the humans in need while minimizing the impact.

223/5.56, 7.62x39, 5.45x39,6.8spc, 6.5G, 30 carbine, are common swaps for the AR-15 and they all use the standard ar-m16 uppers and lowers. for hunting deer the 6.8/6.5 and 7.62x39 would be the best bets in the AR-15 sized frames.--
i have been very tempted to do a 6.8SPC because i have been running a 6.8spc2 bolt for my 5.45x39 wilson barreled upper for several years. all i would need is a barrel and a mag to run some 6.8-- if i was so inclined.
bigger stuff like 308/260/243 will need the bigger AR-10 sized platforms.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dd Great product The Luna set is not only a great price but a great product. I paired this with my [@] dishes and they look great. I not only paid a fraction of the price of most flatware but it is actually a great product. * Note I hand wash all my dishes (by choice) but I hear it's dishwasher safe too. October 6, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ganny Good Looking! I originally bought the teaspoons as I had lost some of the ones from my everyday set. This product really delivers a "bang for your buck." I am going back to the store to buy the remaining pieces to this set. December 7, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by CTK LOOKS AND FEELS EXPENSIVE We had a 18th y/o party for my daughter, and about 130 people showed up. The forks are made of very high quality stainless. The design is simple and sleek- not too modern; it looks much more expensive than the cost. I bought them initially on sale for [$] each but the store ran out. The cost after the sale was about [$] each on line. The forks are definitely worth the money. For those who like to entertain, look for the buffet plates (set of 12) for $19.99 at the store. I have used these items for many parties and over time, they have paid for themselves. February 2, 2009
Rated 5 out of 5 by Naoko great value They look great and great value. December 12, 2008
Rated 5 out of 5 by Domestic Diva My Favorite New Purchase! I began using my new Luna flatware yesterday, and I couldn't be happier! My old set felt so cheap and lightweight, but these pieces are weighty and feel good in the hand. My husband asked if they were ergonomically correct! :) They look great too - perfect with my new dishes - and I love the fact that you can complete the set with matching serving pieces. I got them on sale and used a coupon, and they were extremely inexpensive in the end. They definitely are on par with more expensive sets sold at high-end retailers! December 9, 2008
