I've talked to my girlfriends, my mom, and his mom, but I need some unbiased advice. I'm a 28-year-old woman in a relationship for 3.5 years with a wonderful man, also 28. I hit the jackpot: He is loving, sweet, kind, driven, active, handsome, generous, etc. We're very committed to each other and planning our future together. We've lived together for 2.5 years. Life is so great! Enter the issue: We've been discussing marriage since January of this year. Until May, he was opposed to it.
EW ran a feature on LCC's "Creativity for Peace" program Oct. 17, including a photo of Israeli and Palestinian exchange students smiling happily in a semi-hug. It looked benign and hopeful. Until one looks more closely. The headline read, "Peacemakers: LCC Students from Israel and Palestine." The story described how two young women from "opposite sides of a conflict" are being prepared "to pave the way for peace in their communities and across borders." Unfortunately, this introduction seriously misrepresents the reality of the Israel/Palestine relationship.
After this past weekend, I'm glad that most folks in the climate-change movement have stopped referring to it as global warming.
I'm a straight woman who loves my boyfriend, but sex isn't a priority for me. His sex drive, on the other hand, is ridiculous. He gets very upset when I don't have sex with him and accuses me of not being interested in him anymore, which isn't the case. I just can't fuck on demand! Most people would probably say that my boyfriend is an insensitive asshole for pressuring me for sex. Except this was a switcheroo exercise: I, the girlfriend, want more sex. He, my boyfriend, doesn't see sex as a priority.
Darkness comes early in December, now that midwinter is upon us. Remembering that Solstice isn't until four days before Christmas, long nights are going to be around for a couple of months. We treasure clear, chilly nights when the stars put on a show from early in the evening. I mark the yearly cycle with only one constellation: Orion of Winter. It is the easiest to recognize, after the Big Dipper and Cassiopeia. Orion has three bright stars decorating his belt; his sword marked by four close, smaller stars angling off below.
Saving energy and improving energy efficiency is vital to restoring the environment, reducing carbon emissions that contribute to global climate change and creating sustainable jobs. It's being debated all over the world, but the debate over how to get there has left out something more meaningful to a lot of Lane County residents: saving them money.
I'm a bi woman in my mid-20s in a great monogamish relationship with my straight boyfriend. We occasionally invite other women into our sex life, which is really enjoyable for both of us. He isn't threatened by other women, only by other men, which isn't an issue since I'm not interested in any other men. So on the occasions when we find a lady we're both into who's also into us, anything goes, and it's awesome. We've hooked up with both friends and strangers, but always as a couple because it makes us both feel safe.
Global warming is the most serious crisis that humanity has ever faced. The world is headed directly towards a cliff in the dark: We know the cliff is ahead of us, but we don't know how soon we might reach it. Some people think that the countries of the world will not be able to do what is necessary to avoid millions of people suffering the death penalty as a result of global warming. When they express their defeatist attitude to others, they make things harder for those of us actively fighting global warming. Nobody can predict what the future will bring.
The story that recycled bottles are made into new ones turns out to be a myth. It ranks up there with the one that the toilet was invented by Thomas Crapper.
My custom each year in this month of November
Is taking time out to reflect and remember
To treasure my blessings, to offer my thanks
For the good things in life, such as not wearing Spanx
I recently ended a relationship that lasted a year and five months. While I loved this woman, for much of the relationship she was, to varying degrees, depressed. I tried to be as helpful and patient as possible with the hope and expectation that she would get better. I got her into counseling. We went to couples counseling together. She got on medication. I encouraged her to eat well (I cooked her many healthy meals) and exercise daily (which she was never able to do). I tried to get her out into nature. I tried to listen and practice strong communication skills.
I'm a heterosexual guy in my early 20s. I've been dating my girlfriend for about six months, and we've been having some fights recently. The problem: I have a high sex drive in comparison to hers. I want to be intimate on a weekly basis (at least!), and she's told me that she's more of a once-every-three-weeks-or-so person. I'm trying not to put pressure on her. I don't want her to feel uncomfortable — she's a virgin (no penetration), and the thought of the pain of that first time scares her a bit.
Local media is all abuzz about a proposal to reconfigure Willamette from 24th to 32nd. Writing in the Nov. 3 Register-Guard, Jack Billings clearly identified cyclists as the driver of efforts to alter South Willamette — efforts that would remove one car lane and add two bike lanes. Quoting Billings, "The discussion [about Willamette] is only about bicycles. Were it not for the small but organized bike lobby, there would be no debate about reconfiguration." Billings doesn't know the half of it.
When I ran for Congress in 1986 I campaigned against the unsustainable timber harvest levels in western Oregon. Back then the Bureau of Land Management was logging 1.6 billion board feet per year on the statutorily unique O&C lands.
I advocated for a 30 to 40 percent reduction on the O&C lands. But today, O&C timber harvests have dropped by more than 85 percent. I didn't think then, and I don't think now, that an 85 percent reduction is necessary to protect old growth, rivers, streams and wildlife — particularly given its negative impact on county revenues and rural communities.
It has become an a matter of widespread belief, as Giesen asserts, that economic contraction not economic growth is essential for an ecological future. I would like to offer another prospective based on the pursuit of sustainability and making economic growth mean ecological improvement. It is a fundamental error to conflate all economic growth with ecological pillage.
The Eugene City Council has a decision to make about Civic Stadium and it will be made very soon. The question is: Will the city put in an offer, using the city parks bond funds, and allow Friends of Civic Stadium (FOCS) to refurbish and reopen it for use, or will it step back and allow Civic to be demolished? As a longtime citizen of Eugene, I consider demolition to be a mistake.
The mess involving the nation's new health insurance websites makes us wonder how we managed health care before Al Gore invented the internet.
Why am I such a slut?
Girl, Corrupted
Are you a slut?
Or are you a woman who loves sex, has a high libido, and has consensual sex with a lot of willing and grateful partners? Those are all traits for which culture wouldn't conspire to leave you feeling conflicted or compelled to slap a pejorative label on yourself — if you were a dude, gay or straight.
This fall there is a new flock of nine turkeys that circulate through our neighborhood, snooping down our street every other day. Their core must come from the ones that nested on the butte above our home this past spring. The turkey chicks that left the nest in April are now the size of their parents. We are not sure what they find to eat in their foraging; hope their menu includes slugs and snails.
After I'd heard that a hedge fund manager was spending big bucks in 2012 to convince voters to toss out Democratic U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio, I wrote a check for thousands of dollars to DeFazio for Congress. I was terrified that Republican candidate Art Robinson would pillage the public's forests, waters and wildlife. It turns out I should have also feared the incumbent on that score.
There seems to be an excellent option for the 10-acre Civic Stadium property: Use it to help expand the city of Eugene's park system.
When the shepherd wants to know what his sheep think of his ideas on gay marriage, birth control and other social issues, you know there is a new kind of pope in town.
I am a kinky, youthful 72-year-old guy. I grew up in the Pleistocene era, when there was virtually no way to meet a kinky woman. I've had two vanilla marriages, and three months ago I ended a four-year vanilla relationship with the best woman I've ever met. I just couldn't take not being a BDSM person anymore, and I broke up with this wonderful woman so I could do BDSM. I've had some fun, but no candidate for a possible LTR has come along. In the meantime, my most recent ex (I'll call her "Mel") and I have both been bereft over our split.
As I go around giving talks for Here on the Edge, my book about how a small group of World War II conscientious objectors on the Oregon Coast helped plow the ground for the social and cultural revolutions of the 1960s, I sometimes encounter people who ask if I am a conscientious objector. Others ask if I believe that we should all refuse to fight any war under any circumstances.
If life were fair, county commissioners who handed the taxpayers a redacted investigative report would get back a redacted paycheck.

Spurs V The Pool
SB=33- 1-3 suarez
Remmah=31- 2-2 Defoe
joe=31-2-1 Bale
I think it would be a 50/50 call but because of our inter game just 2days earlier, we will be too tired & lack that energy and spark. I think our Europa match will be the difference in the end.
Liverpool are bang in form. I cant remember when we last won there?!
yes its very close between us 3. I was miles ahead early on. then joe was miles behind us & remmah. it will be a injustice if I don't finish 1st, because iv been top for probably 99% of the season!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Hang on, where's my deep insightful(!) reply to this gone?! I posted about the record at Anfield (last 2 games draws, once before that we won, one before that's the last time Liverpool have beaten us I think in all competitions), the team match ups, the ref, and even got distracted by the Everton-Wigan match and commented on that! I feel cheated.
Anyway, I reckon it'll be fairly high scoring (3-5 goals), we should edge it, and there'll be at least 1 controversial moment which the ref may or may not deal with well. I think Skrtel could get sent off, it'll be high tempo, and generally a good game.

Infuriating isn't it NBR, Yahoo need to have a good hard look at what they've done here, when decent contibutions are removed, something has gone very wrong!
Doom and gloom ey SB?! wow!
We have had a good record at Anfield for at least the last 3 seasons and speak to any Liverpool fan, we have become something of a bogey team for the pool.
The european game could go against us, but for players like Bale the more games the better, in this type of form, he'll want to play every day. Bale and Suarez are both of exceptional quality, after those two, we have better players more likely to producing something special or am I just biased? H and Fab (as nuterals) you may be able to answer that better.
An injustice? ha ha ha, you are quiet hilarious SB, this is supposed to be fun....a laugh! Rem and I have even missed the odd week, maintained a more positive (unrealistic IYO), jovial approach to this yet, we are separated by 2 points! Chill SB, its not like we've put anything on it! Just enjoy it for what it is......a bit of fun.

hate to say i told u so joe. we looked tired physically &mentally towards the end & let in 2 late goals. so i think i was right about the inter game being the difference. 2days rest is nothing. also the inter game cost us lennon too. so we had to play jake who was poor. both walker & defoes pass bks were bad. & ekotto didnt need to bundle over suarez. defoe & walker wil be hurting but ekotto dont care at all. squads lookin weak with livermore having to start & carroll having to come on. sort of game we could have done with sandro instead of jake. not too dissapointed cause i thought inter on thursday would mean we end up losing to pool. at least maybe people wil realise we need to focus on 4th & stop saying we can get 2nd. thats when u slip up & forget 4th isnt certain yet,let alone 2nd! id take 4th now

erm John.
Spurs won there 2-0 in 2011.
Liverpool's last 3 league games. A win against the Swansea reserves, beat Wigan and lost to WBA.
Your not a very good fan are you.

"A Knight's Tour de Force" by Adam Berliner
Adam Berliner explains the ideas behind an intricate sculpture that hangs in the math department at St. Olaf College. It was designed and built by Professor Emeritus Loren Larson, and it can be interpreted as a very constructive proof for the existence of a three-dimensional knight's tour.Read the full article in the April issue of Math Horizons (pdf).

Help me, help you.
Bionic Woman 01×03
Jamie is getting more fight training. On one hand, it's interesting that she actually has to train and she doesn't download Kung Fu to her mind like Neo. On the other hand, we get it. She has to train hard. She has to find her inner animal. She has to be prepared to fight the likes of Sarah Corvus. Jae points out that she is using a fighting subroutine. He explains that she is able to reach into her own mind and alter her programming. She responds, "What? Do you mean I can hack myself?" Later, there is a really awful exchange between Antonio and Jamie. It ended it with Jamie saying to Antonio, "Bring it on b**ch!". Antonio comes at her with a crowbar and gets his buttocks handed to him. He brought out the animal in her. M'kay…
Becca and Jamie do lunch. Becca asks for designer jeans that cost $179. Jamie thinks the price tag is ridiculous. What type of big sister is she? What teenage girl doesn't need $179 jeans? Jonas called in the middle of the girl's day out. Jamie has a cryptic conversation with Jonas about doing a job. Jamie gets Becca out of harm's way buy handing her the credit card giving her the permission to get the jeans. Jaime plays it nice by requesting that the subject of her assignment not go anywhere and wait for back up. He declines. She makes him eat his steering wheel. He didn't need those teeth.
Sarah is in the dark, dingy lair of Will's father, Anthony Anthros. She is in bad shape and looks like a heroin addict. Anthony gives her something to calm her nerves. He sounds like a sleazy drug pusher. He tells Sarah that if she wants to get better, the she has to bring Jamie Sommers to him.
During the previous job, Jamie realizes that Jonas has a GPS device and a video camera embedded in her brain. It's an understatement to say that Jamie isn't happy about this. She voices her opinion on the issue but it comes off as her throwing a tantrum like a toddler. Michelle Ryan doesn't seem to execute dry humor well either. She tries to negotiate her privacy but I don't recall any concrete agreement from Jonas.
The B-story of the week is a non-connected Bionic babysitting assignment. Jamie has to protect a spoiled Canadian brat. She has to keep her from smoking, drinking and getting a tattoo. This girl is a nightmare. She doesn't need babysitting, she needs medication. The story abruptly and awkwardly changes scenes to Jamie and Becca doing some more forced sisterly bonding. Sarah Corvus is being her usual creepy self and is stalking Jamie. She sits outside of Jamie's window and listens to Becca and Jamie having family history share time. During this Hallmark moment, Sarah is having flash backs of her driving with a young girl in the passenger's seat. They are both drinking and get side swiped by a Mack truck. It is identical to Jamie and Will's car accident. Still chatting with Becca, Jamie senses Sarah.
Later that night, Jamie is sleeping and gets some sort of mental message from Sarah Corvus. She informs Jaime that there is a device in her bionics. It's in place so that the Wolf Creek team can filter out things they don't want her to see. It's some sort of coupling device that can be disabled. In bed, Jamie wakes from this "dream" with Sarah Corvus standing over her. They scuffle for a bit and Sarah confesses that she needs Jamie's help. Agitated, Jamie told her that she's not going to help the woman who murdered the man she loved and killed her baby. For once, Sarah didn't have a clever retort. She just asked Jamie to meet her alone at a sulfur plant. She says, "Believe it or not, you need me too" before leaping out of the window like Count Dracula.
Jonas is beside himself because Jamie was compromised in her own home. He started ordering all of these safety precautions but was put in check by Jamie. She wasn't having it. Instead, she wants to "help" Sarah. She wants to bring her back to the Wolf Creek lab. Jonas also tells Jamie that Sarah's sister was killed in a car accident Jamie gets sent to her Canadian brat assignment again. The girl gives Jamie the slip and heads to a tattoo parlor. Jaime catches her in time and brings her back to Wolf Creek. She leaves her in the hands of Ruth.
At the plant, Sarah tells Jamie that Big Daddy Anthony Anthros was jailed for selling bionics to the highest bidder. He is the father of bionics hence the name of the tiny bionic machines, Anthrocytes. Sarah says that she is sick. She explains that Dr. Anthros wants to study Jaime in order to find out how to help Sarah. Sarah also confesses that Dr. Anthros revived her surgically. She says it changed something in her and she can no longer feel emotions. She feels more machine and as a result she's loosing control of herself again. Jonas sent in the hounds and this breaks their fragile trust. Jaime didn't expect this and tells Sarah to run. Before Sarah leaves in a huff, she taunts Jamie by saying that Will never loved her. Sarah adds that Will planned their whole relationship because he was priming her for "something".
Later we see Sarah in a disjointed scene in a dingy apartment shaking from whatever is failing inside of her. She is eating beans out of a can? Why is she poor? Who eats beans out of a can? It gets weirder. She molests the wall to find a weak spot and she starts to punch holes in it. She shakes some more. She goes to the rest room to inject herself with the "feel good juice" that Daddy Anthros gave to her. Why the writers took the addict route escapes me. It felt forced.
Back to the Canadian brat story. It's 40 minutes into the episode and why this story has been introduced still doesn't make sense. Jamie picks up the brat from Wolf Creek. Ruth has been interrogating her the whole time. When she sees Jamie, she is happy to see her and begs to leave. Nice touch. They leave and go for manicures? Whatever. Being the ever faithful stalker, Sarah shows up, hops in a chair next to Jamie and demands a pedicure. Jamie is startled and starts to make a fuss. Sarah sighs and nonchalantly reveals that Serbian goons are just down the block and are coming for the brat. They show. Jamie lays the smack down. She's struggling and looks over to Sarah for help. Sarah plays hard-to-be- psycho and makes Jamie ask for her help then demands a "please". Sarah was prepared and brought a gun to a Serbian-goon-nail-shop-fight. After taking care of the guys, the girls leave out the back door. In the car garage, Sarah apologizes for killing Jamie's baby and it is sincere. She said she was not going to apologize for Will's death because she isn't sorry he's dead. Sarah begs Jaime to go to Dr. Anthros. With Will dead, there is no one at Wolf Creek qualified to help her. Sarah has first generation bionics. Jamie is an advanced updated model and this is why Dr. Anthros needs get his grubby little hands on Jamie. Like iPhone customers, early adopters always get screwed. They talk more and Sarah shows Jamie how to shut of her camera using her mind. We get a C.S.I.-styled animation of Jamie turning off the camera and her nose starts to bleed. Sarah begs more but Jamie refuses to go to Dr. Anthros. Sarah gets frustrated, walks off and shouts back, "Well let me go walk off and die". Jamie responds, "You don't have to be dramatic about it". Sarah fires back, "Not that I can feel anything but I can intellectually imagine that this feels pretty dramatic!" Brilliant!
After a near death experience, the Canadian brat is returned to her father and greets him with a grateful hug. Looks like a day with the Bionic babysitter helped her to turn a new leaf. Next, we visit Sarah telling Anthros that Jamie didn't want to help her. Anthros tells Sarah that Jamie won't help her because they don't have much in common. This jerk suggests that Sarah kills Becca so that Jamie will somehow see the light and help. Sarah buys this and shows up to the Sommer's residence. She introduces her self to Becca as a new neighbor. Jamie walks in to see this and is startled but plays it cool. Becca gets drowsy and passes out at the dinner table. Sarah has drugged her and threatened to kill Becca if Jamie doesn't help her. Jamie tries to reach Sarah by appealing to her humanity. In this scene, Sarah appears more robotic than ever. I just don't buy that she's not feeling anything anymore. She's snarky, she's funny and she can turn on the sexiness at the drop of a dime. The fact that she is willing to kill someone to save herself shows self-preservation. Maybe the medication makes her more toaster than human? We don't have time to wonder about it for long. Jamie's nose bleeds which means she's turned on the camera. The Wolf Creek goons are on the way.
To be continued…
Bionic Woman airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on NBC.

Dividers & CompassesCompasses
One characteristic of the compasses in the collection is the variety of ornamentation molded into their metal parts. More often than the instruments on the other pages, compasses were manufactured in the United States, and Americans received patents for adding innovations to the instrument. Several of the objects below were used in schools, and some were even designed to prevent schoolchildren from poking themselves and each other. This page also contains spare parts for compasses.
"Dividers & Compasses - Compasses" showing 1 items.
Knopf Bow Compass
- Description
- This German silver bow pencil has a handle engraved in a honeycomb pattern above a ring. A spiral is engraved on a disc below the ring. The width of the instrument is adjusted with a corroded metal nut between the legs. The two small screws on the front of the legs that adjust the metal and pencil points appear to be different from each other. The bow nut is marked: MADE IN USA. The nut adjusting the metal point is marked: KNOPF (/) GERMANY. The initials RW are scratched into the leg with the pencil point.
- According to the donor, her husband, electrical engineer Robert H. Wieler (1923–1993), used the instrument. Jürgen Knopf began manufacturing drawing instruments and chalk in Hehlen, Germany, in 1950. He sold the company in 2010 and it was renamed PyCom. Since the object is marked as made in two different countries, it is possible that it was put together from parts of other compasses.

Popular Science Magazine Names Spielman One of Science's 'Brilliant Ten'
For Immediate Release: October 13, 2010
Chad Boutin

The National Institute of Standards and Technology's Ian Spielman is highlighted in the November, 2010, issue of Popular Science, where the magazine's editors have named him to their annual "Brilliant Ten" list.

This has happened since the change to British summer time. I have tried changing everything in Date and Time including breaking the link to our NTP Server runnning on Linux.

The youngsters collected 6,703 canned goods, and more than 1,500 other food items in Sikeston which they brought to the Bootheel Food Bank where they unloaded the bags. The food bank will use the items to assist other food pantries throughout Southeast Missouri.
Also taking part in the food collection were Scouts in Charleston, New Madrid and Portageville. Lynn Hasty, Scout master of Troop 59, said the number of items donated this year was up locally as well as in the Greater St. Louis Area Council, which includes Southeast Missouri.
"What I heard was the (the Council) collected over 2.5 million food items Saturday," Hasty said.

Hemopneumothorax is not a common condition. The majority of cases follow trauma, either in military or in civil life, but the spontaneous form is distinctly rare. After a scrutiny of the literature for the last thirty-four years I have been able to find only thirteen recorded cases.
Ten of these reported cases deserve to be called spontaneous for lack of any definite cause, such as demonstrable disease or trauma. The remaining three were due to tuberculosis and one of them was complicated by artificial pneumothorax. Among the ten spontaneous cases three were fatal and seven patients recovered; of the three tuberculous patients, two recovered and the one with artificial pneumothorax died. These thirteen cases are all true cases of hemopneumothorax and not just hemothorax or pneumothorax. The term hemopneumothorax should be applied to cases of lung collapse with undoubted blood and air within the pleural cavity and not just blood-stained

This summer, you'll have a couple of new ways to cool off, as Six Flags Hurricane Harbor is introducing two slides to the area's biggest water park.
According to a news release that went out today, the new attractions are the Typhoon Twister and the Tsunami Surge, both built for two riders. Thrill ratings haven't been determined for the rides yet, but the news release says on the Typhoon Twister, riders hurtle down a tunnel and into a bowl-shaped slide. Once in the bowl slide, the riders spin around multiple times, then shoot through a corkscrew exit into a splash pool.
On the Tsunami Surge, couples take a twisting path down a 68-foot tunnel, building up speed for a 40-foot wave slide on the other side. "Guests experience zero-gravity as they surge to the top of the slide before gliding down to the landing pool," the release says.
Both slides are being built by Canadian manufacturer ProSlide Technology Inc.

Lesotho government plans to spend 100 million maloti (US$12.7 million) in order to revive their textile industry. Lesotho is one of the largest textile manufactures in Africa. Minister of Finance and Development Planning, Dr. Timothy Thahane, said, "Our goal is to stabilize the level of employment in the textile industry and also to provide capital to the companies in order for them to take advantage of the economic recovery". He also added that African countries have a hard time staying competitive in the international market. But, it is crucial for the Lesotho economy to still go on with textile manufacturing.
During the 1990s and early 2000s, Lesotho's textile industry grew quickly with the help of the African Growth and Opportunities Act (AGOA). This act enabled 34 eligible countries in sub-Saharan Africa tax-free access to the US markets. Also, the Southern Africa Customs Union (SACU) credit certification system allowed textile-exporting companies to earn refunds on the taxes paid on imports used for manufacture. Yet, the textile industry has been hit roughly in the past few years. The SACU credit certification scheme terminated in March 2010 and the dwindling US economy has reduced the exports of textiles.
In 2005, the textile industry was the largest formal sector employer in Lesotho. It was comprised of 45 factories, employing around 55,000 people and the exports were estimated to be approximately $500M per year. Currently, there are only 23 factories left employing 33,000 workers. This also led to a decline in profits and employment to about 40 percent and exports amounting to $300 million.
The textile industry still contributes to around 20 percent to Lesotho's annual gross domestic product. It is also the largest employer in the country wherein the unemployment rate is around 40 percent. Minimum wages for textile workers are set at 778 maloti ($92) per month. One textile worker can support to four or five family members on their wage. Thus, the impact of job loss in the country is critical.
External dynamics
Most of the challenges faced by the industry are beyond the control of the garment companies or of the government.
According to Chin-Yi Lin, President of the Lesotho Textile Exporters Association, the exports of the textile industries here in the country are down due to the decline of the US economy, the low exchange rate, and the termination of the SACU certification scheme. The textile manufacturers need the US economy in order to recover, and as well as the exchange rate to become more advantageous for the industry to be uplift.
Thabane also said that the industry is threatened by the Asian manufacturers since production costs there are much lower because these companies can grow their own raw materials. It is a disadvantage the Lesotho manufacturers need to buy raw materials from afar and transport them back to Lesotho.
The maloti, which is Lesotho's currency also continues to strengthen against the dollar, with a rise which is more than 8 percent in 2010 and the worsening of the situation since the industry has to drive up the costs of exports to American consumers.
Possible "misfortune"
Until recently, the AGOA agreement and the SACU certification scheme allowed the countries to balance any competitive disadvantages had. The SACU scheme enabled companies to import fabric and other supplies cheaply from Asia, but it terminated after issues were raised that it was being abused by importing items from Asia that is unconnected to textile production.
There has also been no announcement of making a replacement incentive similar to that of SACU. Also, the AGOA will be expiring in 2015. Johnny Lin, executive secretary of the Lesotho Textile Exporters Association (LTEA), described as the ending of these agreements "a catastrophe for Lesotho and other African AGOA beneficiary countries".
Lin predicted that because of these the textile manufacturers will be unable to compete against the products of Asian countries in both price and lead time. It is possible that some factories might survive the changes, yet majority of the factories would have to terminate their operations in Lesotho due to high production costs.
It was said that US President Obama's administration has conveyed its plan to extend the agreement. Deputy US Trade Representative Demetrios Marantis said that his department has been preparing towards "a smooth renewal of AGOA after its expiration in 2015."
Thahane did not go on with explaining the other details of the plan, since it is still being formulated. Yet, he said that they aim to inject $12.7 million woth of capital to help keep the textile industry floating until the international economy bounces back and the US would again start purchasing bigger quantities of jeans and t-shirts.

It's Easy to Mix Up Your Mercks
There was some head-scratching this week at Merck, the German pharmaceutical company, as protesters from STOPAIDS gathered outside its north London office.
The protest was over leaked plans for pharmaceutical industry lobbying against proposed reforms to South Africa's intellectual property laws. Trouble was, those plans came from Merck & Co. of the U.S.; it and the German company aren't connected.
Mix-ups aside, public-health advocates are supporting speedy reform of South Africa's patent laws to help broaden access to much-needed medicines. South Africa approves a huge number of patents compared to other emerging economics, which means high drug prices. Antibiotic Linezolid costs GBP37 per pill in South Africa, according to STOPAIDS, but only GBP1.37 in India.
The leaked document, which referred to South Africa as "ground zero" in the debate over intellectual-property protection, was only a proposal and was rejected, said U.S. Merck.
German Merck, meanwhile, became involved thanks to a strike that shut down much of the London Underground. This prompted a hasty relocation of the planned protest. Balancing the desire to provide incentives to innovate with public health needs is tricky enough. Throw in transport strife and things can really get confusing.

Council members waste taxpayers' money
Dear Editor,
In a July Milpitas City Council meeting, Principal Housing Planner Felix Reliford recommended that the city start a new program to plant about 500 more trees in Milpitas and requested the city pay $40,000 for the tree planning project.
Is this what Milpitas really needs? I have a better idea. Why not maintain the trees that are already planted? Walking on the west side of Milpitas High School on Arizona Street, for three city blocks, you can see the leaves lying on the ground for months. There are spoons, straws and pizza boxes lying there too. Mr. Reliford suggested that it would help reduce the carbon footprint to plant new trees. When has the city really been serious about the amount of the carbon dioxide that the city and the residents produce in a year?
The city always increases the number of housing units, which causes more traffic every year. The increased traffic means more stop lights, which causes more cars to wait at traffic lights just generating more carbon dioxide pollution.
Another example is on Dixon Landing Road. When the train goes by with about 70 to 90 boxcars, the traffic is stopped for more than half an hour waiting for the last boxcar to go by. They could build a bridge so cars would not have to wait for the train. BART is digging a trench for extending the line to Milpitas at Dixon Landing Road.
The city employees and council are always looking for more dumb ways to spend that taxpayers' money to create a bigger bureaucracy to take more money out of the residents.
An example is one of the city council members, Debbie Indihar Giordano. She sued the city just to find out who was in attendance at Mayor Jose Esteves' private party at city hall one night. This was not official city business. So the city attorney, Mike Ogaz, decided that they should hire an outside lawfirm to defend the city, at a cost of $50,000, claiming that it was a security issue to disclose who was at the meeting. The city lost the case and it cost $30,000 to pay for Ms. Indihar Giordano's attorneys for a total loss to the taxpayers of about $80,000.
The city decided to sue a resident of Milpitas for having a large political sign and lost that lawsuit for a cost of $20,000.
The city is spending $175,000 just for a statue, part of the art committee recommendation. Other expenses included giving SunPower $1.5 million to hire 100 minimum wage assembly workers. I do not know if they got the required assembly workers and the city had to pay $1.5 million of the taxpayers' money to SunPower, but at the very least they got a no interest loan for $1.5 million for four years. Only Councilmember Armando Gomez was against this giveaway.
The last example is the city hired an outside firm for $50,000 to determine what the goals are for the city. I can tell the city what goals the city needs at no charge. Stop wasting the taxpayers' money and uphold the laws of the state. Disclose how the city calculates utility charges to the public without having to request a formal letter asking for this information. This is a requirement of Article XIII D section 6 1. The city must send in the notice sent to the public the basis for the calculated fees when they increase a utility fee.
It is too bad that the residents of Milpitas are stuck with the council members who are in office now; we deserve better.
-Robert Marini, Milpitas
Big government
Dear Editor,
Santa Clara County Supervisor Dave Cortese supports the "Plan Bay Area" as he wrote in the Aug. 24 issue of the Milpitas Post. This Plan Bay Area is just big centralized government run amuck. It is quite scary that our cityÊgovernment has this same mindset. Our own city government (every week it seems) is allowing huge, multi-unit housing projects located near rapid transit. This is what the Plan Bay Area is and itÊis beingÊadopted by our city government.

Santorum's Finances Draw Questions
Posted on Feb 21, 2006
American Prospect: Santorum's exurban lifestyle is financed in ways that aren't available to the average voter back home in Pennsylvania—namely a political action committee that lists payments for such unorthodox items as dozens of trips to the Starbucks in Leesburg, a number of stops at fast-food joints, and purchases at Target, Wal-Mart, and a Giant supermarket in northern Virginia. Although a Santorum aide defends those charges as legitimate political costs, good-government experts say the expenditures are at best unconventional, and at worst a possible violation of Senate rules, and the purchases appear to be unorthodox when compared with other senators' filings. Santorum's PAC—a "leadership PAC," whose purpose is to dispense money to other Republican candidates—used just 18.1 percent of its money to that end over a recent five-year period, a lower number than other leadership PACs of top senators from both parties.

Team Penske drivers Helio Castroneves and Ryan Briscoe dominated Firestone "Fast Six" final qualifying Saturday at the Rexall Edmonton Indy, repeating their performance from last week at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, this time with Briscoe on the pole and Castroneves second. Oriol Servia will start third for KV Racing, followed by IndyCar Series points leader Scott Dixon in fourth. Last year's pole qualifier for the Champ Car race here, Will Power, will start fifth.
Justin Wilson made the "Firestone Fast Six" final round on speed, but was unable to take part when he crashed without injury on his final lap in the second round. For the first time in the three-year history of IndyCar Series road racing, Tony Kanaan failed to make the final six qualifying round, and will start at the rear of the field after his spin in the opening qualifying round necessitated an engine change for the race. Sunday's race starts at 5 p.m. EDT, with live television coverage on ESPN.
Ryan Briscoe (#6 Team Penske Honda) pole qualifier, 2nd pole of 2008 and 3rd career IndyCar pole:
"Wow, we had to work for that one. It was unbelievable. It was a thrash just getting INTO the top six, we only just got in [to the fast six]. But once we were there, the car was just awesome. It's another great day for Team Penske, our fourth consecutive pole this season."

What do you think of the state of affairs in the equity market?
The movement in the equity market is dependent on a few factors; the performance of the economy and fundamentals of companies, the relative attractiveness of other asset classes and the willingness of participants to invest in equities. If we look at the first and the second factors, they are in favour of equities.
However, the willingness of investors to invest fluctuates and ironically, they tend to stay out of the markets when the markets are weak and/or when value is available in the stock markets. We believe that the companies will continue to show decent profits, though the rate of growth will slow down and over the medium to long-term, the equity markets will outperform other markets.

SAN MATEO, Calif. - Dalton Walker of Split Image Kustoms finished his bike at 1 a.m. the day of the J&P Cycles Ultimate Builder Custom Bike Show at the Progressive International Motorcycle Show Oct. 25-27, and then rode hell for leather to get it there, according to Jeff Najar of Biker Pros.
Walker's efforts were rewarded with first place in the freestyle class. The Ultimate Builder competition is managed for the Motorcycle Shows by Bob Kay and Najar.
See all the J&P Cycles Ultimate Builder Custom Bike Show winners here.
FreeStyle Class
First Place: Walker built the bike for his painter, Kal Koncepts, with a custom springer and tank built into the frame. The engine is a 1984 Harley-Davidson, 84ci EVO polished with a SIK Mag. The bike was so new that it had not yet been named.
Second Place: Kirk Taylor of Custom Design Studios with "Widowmaker," a 2007 custom.
Third Place: Jose Contreraswith his 2013 Chopper Pro Street.
Modified Harley Class
First Place: Jim Carducci, a Harley and dual-sport guy, entering a dual-sport 2003 Harley Sportster featuring a NRHS 1250 Kit, Andrews and N4 Cams. The first-place effort includes a hand-formed aluminum gas tank, Ohlins suspension, custom triple clamps and custom swingarm.
Second Place: Casey Johnson of Headcase Kustom Art with "US versus THEM," a 1995 Sportster.
Third Place: Roger Vaughn with "King of Kings," a 2001 Road King.
Retro Modified Class
First Place: Paul Ponkow's "Bones Legacy" is the result of a meeting between two old-school chopper lovers. Ponkow revealed his latest NORCAL Digger called "Black Rainbow" and took the win. It features paint by Sonny Boy. Engine mods include a MAP Belt Drive, Kibbelwhite valves, Morris Mageto and SRM oil system. The frame is a stretched hand-made gooseneck molded and smoothed throughout. The vehicle includes a handmade tail light, pipes, oil tank, bars and pegs.
Second Place: Chris Carter with "Falcone," a 1951 Moto Guzzi.
Third Place: Dana Miccer and Mutt Hallam for "Hummer," a 1960 H-D Super Ten.
Performance Custom Class
First Place: TPJ Customs is a complete fabrication shop in Northern California. They build show bikes that are tough enough to stand up to everyday abuse but are unique and custom so they also look great on show bikes. Bryan Schmike rolled his TPJ Mabel onto the show floor; the first thing you notice is the minimal nature of the bike, Najar said. Just about every piece of the big twin, which won first place, is handmade by the shop.
Second Place: Shelby Thompson of AFT Customs with "Sentoh," a 2011 Honda CB 836CR.
Modified Street
First Place: Ric Escobedo with his 2007 Honda Repsol CBR 1000RR. It features a custom subframe and custom rear tail, and the engine has a EDR Super Sport Buildup.
Second Place: West Coast Hydrographix with "Kandee," a 2006 Yamaha R6.
Third Place: Superbike Coach with MotoGP Project Bike, a 2006 Yamaha YZFR1.

NEW YORK — Miguel Cotto gained his revenge over Antonio Margarito Saturday night at Madison Square Garden, inflicting enough damage to his opponent's fragile right eye that the bout was called off on the advice of the ringside doctor at the beginning of the 10th.
Cotto (37-2, 30 KOs) effectively out-boxed Margarito (38-8, 27 KOs) over the course of nine rounds, backpedaling and nimbly avoiding his much slower opponent's attempts to pin him on the ropes, and in the process connecting with a multitude of hard shots, including 86 that landed on Margarito's right eye — the one which was surgically rebuilt following heavy damage inflicted by Manny Pacquiao 13 months ago.
Eventually Margarito's eye completely closed, forcing a ringside doctor to advise referee Steve Smoger to call a halt to the fight after the bell sounded to begin the 10th round.
Cotto led 89-82 on the cards of judges Julie Lederman, Steve Weisfeld and John Poturaj at the time of the stoppage.
Margarito won the fourth round on Weisfeld's card, the seventh on that of Poturaj, and the ninth on that of Lederman in what was a satisfying ending for the sellout crowd of mostly pro-Cotto fans.
Click here for RingTV.com round-by-round update.
"Dr. Jordan said that the eye was completely shut and that we couldn't go on. Eventually, I concurred with Dr. Jordan. We were waiting a little bit based on urging of the corner wanting to continue the fight. But I prevailed," said Smoger.
"The corner was begging for another round. Dr. Jordan said that the eye was completely shut, so he couldn't see out, and I couldn't see in. The corner wanted to go on, but we have a rule in the state of New York that says that if you can't see out of the eye, you have to stop the fight."
In victory, Cotto scored his 30th knockout, improving to 9-0 with five knockouts in New York, and, 6-0 at The Garden, also avenging his 11th-round knockout loss to Margarito, who dethroned him as WBA's beltholder when Cotto was an unbeaten welterweight.
Cotto had insisted that he believed Margarito's gloves were loaded with plaster when they fought the first time, after an illegal plaster like substance was discovered in Margarito's hand wrappings and removed prior to his ninth-round knockout loss to Shane Mosley in January of 2009.
"For them [Cotto's camp,] it was revenge. For me, it was just a good fight to make," said Top Rank Inc. CEO Bob Arum. "Margarito's eye was closed. It was appropriate to stop the fight. Cotto was terrific. His training made a strong adjustment."
In the aftermath of his victory, Cotto stared long and hard at his vanquished rival.
"I wanted to enjoy the taste of my victory," said Cotto. "I'm just glad that this is all over and I've got this all behind me."
Cotto out-landed Margarito, 210-to-157 overall, and, 148-to-131 in power punches. He landed more jabs, 62-26, than Margarito as well.
"I had no vision problems. I needed two more rounds to win the fight," said Margarito. "I thought that I threw harder punches and I was doing fine."
It was the third straight stoppage victory for Cotto since being dethroned via 12th round knockout loss to as WBO welterweight beltholder by RING No. 1-pound-for-pound Pacquiao.
Cotto now looks to other challenges, such 25-year-old Top Rank Inc. promotional stablemate, RING No. 5-rated middleweight and WBC beltholder Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (44-0-1, 31 KOs).
"I just wanted to savor my victory," said Cotto. "I wanted to make sure that he could see that I was savoring my victory, even if he only had one eye to see it with."
Antonio Margarito, TKO 10, Madison Square Garden, Dec. 3, 2011

If a small imperfection spoils an otherwise good work, they call the obstruction a "knot", as in a string.

New 31DC: Day 29 - Inspired by a Blogger
Today's challenge calls for a mani inspired by a blogger. First off, I wanted to thank Debbie for making this challenge! If it wasn't for her, I would never have met wonderful ladies who took part in it, and I would never find the blog of the blogger who inspired me to do this mani! I'm talking about Lydia of Lydia's Nails. Once I saw her blog I immediately became a follower, her manis are always so perfect looking and her nail art is spectacular!! Lydia, if you are reading this, thank you so much for your inspiration!!! =))
Even though this trend may be passing, I still really really like magnetic polishes. And I'm really glad Lydia does too!! =))
For this mani I used Finger Paints "Hipnotic", a purple magenta with two easy coats. I applied the magnet to my middle and pinky fingernails.
I stamped my ring nail with a zebra print using BM-223, and instead of rhinestones, I applied some silver glequins to my pointer finger.
What do you guys think? I hope I did this mani justice!!
Lydia, thank you so much for your beautiful inspiration again!!! I hope I didn't butcher this up too much!!! =)) I'm so glad I found your blog! =)
6 comments:
I love the idea of using the magnetic polish for a skittle manicure. I love magnetics, but having the magnetic pattern on every nail is a bit too much of the same for me. This is a perfect solution! And, nice try, trying to slip that monkey by us, ROFL!!!ReplyDelete
What a beautiful color! I must say that I like the ringfinger the best :)ReplyDelete
this is stunning! :)ReplyDelete
I love this! I still love the magnetic polishes. I do not care how old the trend is I am still gonna rock mine! I love the idea of using it as accent nails instead of an entire mani. I think that is a bit overkill! Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
Great idea to make magnetic accent nails. I love how this looks and the glequins add that special touch :) xxReplyDelete
What polish did you use for the stmping? I LOOOOOOVE how this turned out!!!ReplyDelete
A little less crazy about the sequins in this combo but the entire look is fantastic!!!
I LOVE comments!! They really make my day!! So don't be shy, scribble away... =) I will always answer any questions you may have!
Please be respectful and don't leave links to your blogs or websites, I will delete them... if you'd like me to check them out, please e-mail them to met at zabucha(at)sbcglobal.net

The Stratigraphy of the Libyan Sedimentary Basins and Their Current and Potential Entrapment of Hydrocarbons
Hassan S. Hassan and Christopher G. Kendall
Geological Sciences, University South Carolina, Columbia, SC
Libya's five major onshore basins are: the interior fracture basin of Sirt; the three interior sags of Murzuq, Kufra, Ghadamis; the onshore stable Cyrenaica platform cratonic margin; the onshore/offshore foreland basins of Benghazi and Derna. Offshore are the trailing margin basins of Tripolitania and the Gulf of Sidra (Sirt Embayment). The Sirt, Ghadamis, Murzuq and Sabratah have 320 producing fields with reserves exceeding 50 billion barrels oil and 40 trillion cubic feet gas.
Sirt Basin, the most prolific oil basin of North Africa, has 89% of Libya's reserves hosting sixteen giant oil fields with 117 billion barrels oil. The Cretaceous and Paleocene rocks form reservoir sequences and the Upper Cretaceous Sirt Shale a major source rock. Grabens sequester organic rich shale and local up dip quartz sand bodies, while horsts host carbonate build-ups.
Ghadamis intracratonic basin has 5200 m of clastic Paleozoic through Mesozoic strata with 3.5 billion bbl of oil production from the Upper Silurian Akakus Formation and the Tadrart-Ouan Kasa Formations.
Central Muruzq Basin has 3000 m section of Cambrian to Quaternary with oil reserves of 1 billion barrels. Potential reservoirs include the Memouniat, Acacus and Tadrart-Kasa sandstones with the major source rock of the Silurian Tanezzuft Shale.
Major offshore oil production in the Tripolitania Basin is from El-Bouri oilfield from Eocene Nummulitic Limestone with 60,000 bbl/d, and 2 billion barrels reserves.
Mesozoic-Tertiary rocks of Cyrenaica and Paleozoic of Al Kufra Basin have no commercial production but the Cretaceous to early Tertiary have potential. Devonian sandstones and Tertiary carbonates contain gas shows in Cyrenaica.

A cooler fire burned at Mac's in Keeseville on Monday.
Chief Dave Perky said a rubber gasket near a light in the cooler caused the fire Monday evening. No one was injured.
He said there was minor smoke damage to some of the food in the cooler. The rest of the building was not damaged.
