Bernie Sanders on Foreign Policy
Socialist Jr Senator; previously Representative (VT-At-Large)
SANDERS: I have a difference of opinion with Secretary Clinton on this. I worry that Secretary Clinton is too much into regime change without knowing what the unintended consequences might be. Yes, we could get rid of Saddam Hussein, but that destabilized the entire region. Yes, we could get rid of Gadhafi, a terrible dictator, but that created a vacuum for ISIS. Yes, we could get rid of Assad tomorrow, but that would create another political vacuum that would benefit ISIS. Getting rid of dictators is easy. But before you do that, you've got to think about what happens the day after. We need to put together broad coalitions to [avoid having a] political vacuum filled by terrorists. In Syria the primary focus now must be on destroying ISIS and [it's a] secondary issue to get rid of Assad.
SANDERS: Of course the United States must lead. But the US is not the policeman of the world. The US must not be involved in perpetual warfare in the Middle East. The United States, at the same time, cannot successfully fight Assad and ISIS. ISIS, now, is the major priority. Let's get rid of Assad later. Let's have a Democratic Syria. But the first task is to bring countries together to destroy ISIS.
SANDERS: I believe that the US has the moral responsibility with Europe, with Gulf countries like Saudi Arabia to make sure that when people leave countries like Afghanistan and Syria with nothing more than the clothing on their back that, of course, we reach out. Now, what the magic number is, I don't know, because we don't know the extent of the problem. But I certainly think that the US should take its full responsibility in helping those people.
Q: Gov. O'Malley, you have a magic number. I think it's 65,000.
O'MALLEY: I was the first person on this stage to say that we should accept the 65,000 Syrian refugees that were fleeing the sort of murder of ISIL, and I believe that that needs to be done with proper screening. But accommodating 65,000 refugees in our country today, people of 320 million, is akin to making room for 6.5 more people in a baseball stadium with 32,000.
CLINTON: We have an opportunity here--and inside the administration this is being hotly debated--to get that leverage to try to get the Russians to have to deal with everybody in the region and begin to move toward a political, diplomatic solution in Syria.
Q [to Sanders]: Putin in Syria?
SANDERS: I think Mr. Putin is going to regret what he is doing.
Q: He doesn't seem to be the type of guy to regret a lot.
SANDERS: I think he's already regretting what he did in Crimea and what he is doing in the Ukraine. I think he is really regretting the decline of his economy. And I think what he is trying to do now is save some face. But I think when Russians get killed in Syria and when he gets bogged down, I think the Russian people are going to give him a message that maybe they should come home, maybe they should start working with the United States to rectify the situation now.
SANDERS: Well, it failed. I mean, the president acknowledged that. Syria is a quagmire inside of a quagmire. I think what the president has tried to do is thread a very difficult needle. And that is keep American troops from engaging in combat and getting killed there. And I think that is the right thing to do. So I think we continue to try to do everything that we can, focusing primarily on trying to defeat ISIS. But I am worried about American troops getting sucked into a never ending war in the Middle East and particularly in, you know, Iraq and Syria. I don't think the United States can or should be doi
SANDERS: I think it's impossible to give a proper number until we understand the dimensions of the problem. What I do believe is that Europe, the United States and, by the way, countries like Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, must address this humanitarian crisis. People are leaving Iraq, they're leaving Syria with just the clothes on their backs. The world has got to respond. The United States should be part of that response.
Q: When it comes to Syria, how much of the problem is the United States' fault, of policy, whether Bush in Iraq or Obama in Syria?
SANDERS: Look, I voted against the war in Iraq; much of what I feared would happen, in fact, did happen: Massive destabilization in that region. The issue now is not who is at fault. The issue is now what we do. And what we do is bring the region together.
Bernie supports normalizing relations between the two nations and removing the economic embargo, which he argues is costing American businesses billions of dollars. In February 2014, Bernie shared his hope that "Cuba moves toward a more democratic society while, at the same time, the United States will respect the independence of the Cuban people." He was part of a U.S. delegation that traveled to Cuba in 2014 to discuss trade, healthcare, and human rights issues in Havana.
Later in 2014, Bernie applauded President Obama's announcements on discussions with Cuba, and in January 2015, he sponsored the Freedom to Travel to Cuba Act, which aimed to address the administration's proposal to loosen restrictions on travel to Cuba and remove restrictions on travel-related banking transactions.
Bernie is against the expansion of NATO because it provokes unnecessary aggression from Russia. Moreover, he believes European nations should fund more of the costs of an alliance primarily intended to protect their continent.
Q: What is Bernie's opinion on NATO expansion?
A: He's against it, claiming it is a waste of taxpayer dollars and not geo-politically sound. In 1997, Bernie said: "After four decades of the cold war and trillions of taxpayer dollars allocated to compete in the arms race, it is not the time to continue wasting billions helping to defend Europe, let alone assuming any costs associated with expanding NATO eastward." Bernie opposes eastward expansion because he's not interested in revisiting the Cold War era when Russia and the US were constantly pitted against each other.
A: I want to see the people in China live in a democratic society with a higher standard of living. I want to see that, but I don't think that has to take place at the expense of the American worker. I don't think decent-paying jobs in this country have got to be lost as companies shut down here and move to China. I want to see the Chinese people do well, but I do not want to see the collapse of the American middle class take place, and I will fight against that.
SANDERS: We have got to go through every possible effort in order to make sure that we achieve that goal of Iran not having a nuclear weapon without going to war.
Q: So, do you support the agreement?
SANDERS: Yes, I do. Look, I'm not going to tell that you this is a perfect agreement. And every agreement can be better.
Q: What about hard-liners chanting death to America in Iraq making common cause with the opponents of this deal?
SANDERS: I wouldn't frame it that way. But this is the way I would frame it. It's so easy to be critical of an agreement which is not perfect. But the US has to negotiate with other countries. We have to negotiate with Iran. And the alternative, you know what it is? It's war. Do we really want another war, a war with Iran? I think we go as far as we possibly can in trying to give peace a chance, if you like, trying to see if this agreement will work. And I will support it.
Sanders backs President Obama's negotiations with Iran and sharply criticized Republican senators who signed a letter warning Iran against a potential deal. In a statement, the Jewish senator pushed back against the idea of tougher sanctions and was critical of Netanyahu's speech to Congress. Sanders was the first senator to announce he would not attend the speech.
As the mayor of Burlington, and someone committed to grassroots democracy, I saw no magic line separating local, state, national, and international issues. How could issues of war and peace not be a local issue? It is local youngsters who fight and die in wars. Ultimately, if we're going to revitalize democracy in this country, local government will have to assume a much stronger and more expansive role.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. HOWARD BERMAN (D, CA-28): Integrating India into a global nonproliferation regime is a positive step. Before anyone gets too sanctimonious about India's nuclear weapons program, we should acknowledge that the five recognized nuclear weapons states have not done nearly enough to fulfill their commitments under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, including making serious reductions in their own arsenals, nor in the case of the US in ratifying the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. BARBARA LEE (D, CA-9): In withholding my approval, I seek not to penalize the people of India but, rather, to affirm the principle of nuclear nonproliferation. Jettisoning adherence to the international nuclear nonproliferation framework that has served the world so well for more than 30 years, as approval of the agreement before us would do, is just simply unwise. It is also reckless.
Approval of this agreement undermines our efforts to dissuade countries like Iran and North Korea from developing nuclear weapons. By approving this agreement, all we are doing is creating incentives for other countries to withdraw from the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
OnTheIssues.org explanation: The US government has forbidden US citizens from traveling to Cuba since the 1960s. Try booking a trip from Mexico City to Havana on travelocity.com (or any travel website) and it says, "Due to a U.S. government travel restriction we are unable to book this reservation." You can, however, purchase that same ticket while in Mexico City, or anywhere else in the world. Sanford's bill attempts to undo this long-standing situation.
LEGISLATIVE OUTCOME: Referred to the House Committee on the Western Hemisphere; never called for a House vote.
The Congressional Human Rights Caucus (CHRC) is a bipartisan group of Members of Congress in the United States House of Representatives that works to raise awareness about and combat human rights abuses throughout the world.
The caucus keeps members and their staff informed of opportunities to help through briefings on human rights topics and letter initiatives.
Title: Condemning the Government of the People's Republic of China for its poor human rights record.
A bill to impose sanctions on officials of the State Peace and Development Council in Burma, to prohibit the importation of gemstones and hardwoods from Burma, & to promote a coordinated international effort to restore civilian democratic rule to Burma.
(The two Senate versions currently differ in wording). The Saffron Revolution Support Act states that it is U.S. policy to:
Introductory statement by Sponsor:
Sen. McCAIN. The world has reacted with horror and revulsion at the Burmese junta's recent brutal crackdown against peaceful demonstrators. In crushing the Saffron Revolution, killing hundreds and jailing thousands, including countless Buddhist monks, the junta has left no doubt about its blatant disregard for basic human decency. We, as Americans, stand on the side of freedom, not fear; of peace, not violence; and of the millions in Burma who aspire to a better life, not those who would keep them isolated and oppressed. Our response must go beyond statements of condemnation, and the time to act is now. This legislation imposes meaningful and effective punitive action against the cruel, thuggish, and illegitimate Burmese government.
A bill to exempt the African National Congress from treatment as a terrorist organization. [The ANC is now the ruling party of South Africa; as head of the ANC, Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years by the apartheid government before becoming President of South Africa].
A resolution recognizing the 15th anniversary of the founding of Seeds of Peace, an organization promoting understanding, reconciliation, acceptance, coexistence, & peace in the Middle East, South Asia, and other regions of conflict.
The Arab American Institute has compiled a Scorecard to catalogue the voting record of the 112th Congress on issues of importance to the Arab American community. Though not comprehensive, we have attempted to provide a snapshot of legislation concerning many of the primary issues concerning Arab Americans. For the Senate, we have included 10 items: two bills on the Arab Spring, three on Palestine, one on Lebanon, one regarding civil liberties, and two for immigration reform.
A resolution condemning the violence in Tibet and calling for restraint by the Government of the People's Republic of China and the people of Tibet. Calls for:
Prohibits the President from regulating or prohibiting travel to or from Cuba by U.S. citizens or legal residents or any of the transactions ordinarily incident to such travel, except in time of war or armed hostilities between the United States and Cuba, or of imminent danger to the public health or the physical safety of U.S. travelers.

June 1 — To the Editor:
The primary purpose of the Eliot citizens petition is to remove sewer language for Route 236 and to preserve the benefits of the tax increment financing (TIF) district by providing alternative projects. Termination of the TIF results only if the selectmen fail to provide suitable alternatives or if the voters choose to reject alternatives provided. I fully support keeping the TIF and developing the "Village Plan" in the comprehensive plan. This would have widespread support from citizens and would use TIF funds to provide a much broader, beneficial impact for many citizens.
The selectmen's opposition to the petition is consistent with their total disregard of all three previous votes on the sewer expansion. They have continuously pursued the expansion and even went so far as to ask the town's attorney if they could use existing cash to begin the sewer work in southern Eliot without going to the voters for approval. That happened after the three votes that rejected the expansion. They presented inaccurate statements of what the petition does and does not do. The petition does not prevent all sewer expansion in Eliot. The town is free to expand the sewer anywhere the voters approve. The petition simply prevents a sewer project within the TIF district. A private developer would be free to develop a sewer on Route 236 and the town is free to do sewer development where needed. The TIF fund cannot be legally used as a slush fund for town sewer issues all over town even if the expansion project had been passed. Opponents have raised concerns that an alternative detailed plan would be difficult to complete within the remaining time of the petition. The petition does not call for a completed plan and only requires that alternative projects be identified and provided to the voters for approval. That would meet the requirements of the petition, and then completed detailed plans would be developed and submitted to the Department of Economic & Community Development for approval. There is plenty of time available to provide suitable alternatives to the voters. They also raised concerns that funds could be forfeited if the TIF were terminated. The director of Maine Revenue Services and the director of Economic & Community Development have both confirmed in e-mails that existing law legally transfers all TIF funds into the town's general fund upon termination of a TIF, and there are no penalty provisions in TIF law for early termination of a TIF. The selectman have no factual foundation for their concerns.
Voters need to be clear that passing the petition opens new possibilities for the TIF funds that could untie us, and rejecting the petition returns us to Route 236 sewer expansion votes.

Equine Products Equine Broad Wheat Bran 20kg - Horse Feed
Equine Products is one of the pioneers in the development of nutritional feed supplements designed to safeguard equine health and well-being, and help horses perform to their full potential.
Over 25 years ago they were among the first to recognise that horses, like human beings, may not always get all their nutritional requirements from the basic foods they eat. They also recognised then that feeding was the most natural way of addressing any deficiencies, and ever since they have been leading the way in producing supplements formulated and manufactured to ensure that you can be certain you are feeding your horses all the essential ingredients of a complete and balanced diet.

Great video. And now i´m baffled - DPS-wise i should opt for a full dagger AA chain and the following Double Strike of the next and THEN break the chain by using CnD? Interesting and should be possible to get used to after that 4-second-revealed disaster in PvE.
Well CoF isnt what i would call a difficult dungeon. My aiming goes towards high level fractals where i sometimes even struggle bo get a group (´cause a key crossed with a dagger means bad player for many PUGs sadly). Therefore i really need to show off what a thief is capable of - what i, MYSELF, are capable of. Which also involves getting better at thievery... else its impossible for me to do as a thief what others can do as warrior with less effort.
I guess for the runes vs orbs thing i have to crawl gw2buildcraft a bit and look at the numbers. Can´t detemrine those by myself yet (math isnt the problem, its the time i can´t put into getting used to theorycrafting).

Aug. 19 — To the Editor:
Once again I feel compelled to ask: Who writes your editorials? Your Aug. 18 editorial attacking the Historic District Commission ("City property owners facing fairness gap," Portsmouth Herald) was based on the misguided presumption that because unremarkable development scarred Islington Street in the past, it's OK not to demand a proper rebirth now. It's kind of like the argument we've heard about the North End — all-but-demolished once, forever a lost cause. (Or at least open season.) This HDC has problems, but being too strict is not one of them — look at what they've already approved on Islington Street. With friends like that unnamed Portsmouth Herald editorial writer, no wonder the city's special historic character is in trouble!

Whats a good inexpensive cotton or cotton blend?
I would like to make a sweater for myself using a cotton or cotton blend and am looking for suggestions.
A lot of people like Knitpicks Shine--its a dk weight.
Webs (yarn.com) has a new cotton/microfiber blend that looks like it could be nice, but I've never used it. It's their own line--Valley Yarns--called Longmeadow.
I am currently making a sweater out of Elann's Endless Summer Collection Connemara. It is 100% cotton and they claim it is Aran weight but it seems thinner to me like a worsted weight or even a thick DK. I like the way it feels and knits, although it has a bit of a tendency to untwist such that it is easy to split if you are not paying attention.
I'm using a 100% cotton by cascade-Pima Melange. Lt. worsted. I bought mine from "one Fine Yarn" for $2. 85 (or somewhere in that price range) excellent price! I love the yarn. I hope to buy more soon, before it's all gone.
Let us know what you find--I'm always on the prowl for cotton yarn--it's
all I use. Living in the deep south makes finding an excuse to knit challenging! & finding suitable yarn.
Thanks everybody :D
Good review article about KnitPicks!
Other than color choices, I wonder if there is much difference between Longmeadow and Shine? Same fiber content, same yardage. I guess the only real difference is the DK/Worsted issue.
*sigh* I am so torn! The longmeadow comes in more colors too.
I'm working on the body....just checking to make sure I understand the directions.
Repeat the last 9(9, 11, ,12, 13) rnds 2 more times, then decrease rnd once more......
so....... I Dec. rnd, then knit 10 rnds ------Dec. rnd, knit 10 rnds, then dec rnd once more.
:?? I'm understanding it correctly?

Debian has always been about integration. Donât you register your
documentation with doc-base so that your application integrates with
centralized documentation systems? Donât you register your fonts with
defoma so that applications using it can actually see the fonts?
The same goes for desktop environments. You need to register your icons
so that they are correctly cached (icon loading is one of the biggest
performance issues on desktops), and to register your desktop files so
that the MIME registry works.

It is not a random user environment. It is the accepted standard for the
three main desktops we are shipping.

But we are not talking about other desktop environments. If you were
asked to use dh_desktop, it is because your application *does* ship
Freedesktop .desktop files. If you were asked to use dh_icons, your
package *does* include icons in the Freedesktop directory hierarchy.
Furthermore, the update-mime-database and update-icon-caches commands
have very simple APIs which mean we can replace them easily with other
implementations if someone wants to design them.

Is it the desktop environmentâs or the packageâs own functional benefit
to have the application launched when you click on a file of the related
type, or to have a visible icon? This is merely a philosophical

Hi, I'm Bruin. I had been turned in by my original family, then returned twice by two packs who tried ot adopt me. They thought I was incorrigible. I was sent to a kennel. my new foster mom came to pick me up to try to 'rehab' me one last time. Well, she came around to liking me very slowly, but no one wanted to adopt me because I had a bad reputation. Eventually, she figured out I really liked her and she finally adopted me. I've been here a year now and just want all you dogs to know that your special pack will find you if you just hang in there!

Think Tank Sees Workaround for ECB Bond Buys
A top European economic think tank has unveiled its "shopping list" for a potential large-scale asset purchase program from the European Central Bank.
Here's the rationale from Brussels-based Bruegel: "Low inflation in the euro area is particularly dangerous, given high private and public debt levels in several euro-area countries and the need for relative price adjustment between the euro-area core and periphery," Gregory Claeys, Zsolt Darvas, Silvia Merler and Guntram Wolff wrote.
Euro zone inflation was 0.7% in April and has been below 1% for many months. That's far below the ECB's target of just under 2%. The ECB has already done a lot of easing to keep inflation from falling too low. Its key interest rate is 0.25%, a record low. It has pumped over one trillion euros ($1.4 trillion) in long-term loans into euro zone banks. It has pledged to buy open-ended amounts of government bonds, if needed, to keep the euro together under a bond program created in September 2012 that hasn't been used yet. It is widely expected to keep policy unchanged when it meets Thursday, though many economists expect additional stimulus later this year.
The ECB has largely refrained from major purchases of private and public debt as other central banks such as the Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan have done (though the ECB has made limited purchases of both). Doing more is complicated in the euro zone, which has 18 different government and private bond markets, and the ECB is prohibited from doing anything that smacks of bailing out struggling governments.
Bruegel has a way around that. It recommends that the ECB buy, for starters, EUR35 billion per month in bonds of European institutions such as the European Stability Mechanism and European Investment Bank, corporate debt and asset-backed securities. That's in line with what the Fed did under QE3, Bruegel notes.
"A natural starting point for an ECB asset-purchase program would be euro-area wide government bonds, which do not exist. The closest existing asset, which could be bought without creating too many distortions, would be bonds issued by the EFSF and the ESM," the authors wrote, referring to Europe's bailout funds. EU and EIB bonds are also options, they said, and the total pool of these bonds is just under EUR500 billion.
The authors don't recommend buying bonds issued by individual euro-member governments.
"In a monetary union with 18 different treasuries, such purchases are difficult," they wrote, noting legal and political constraints.
"Purchases of private sector assets – if well designed – would achieve similarly beneficial effects on euro-area inflation and would protect the ECB better from political pressure," they wrote.
There are about EUR900 billion in eligible corporate bonds the ECB could buy, the authors wrote. They reckon there are about EUR330 billion in eligible Asset Backed Securities.
As for the effect of their plan on inflation: "a yearly asset purchase of about four percent of euro area GDP" or around EUR400 billion "would lead to an inflation increase of approximately 0.8 percentage points after 18 months. Since core inflation in the euro area is about 1.0% now, such an increase would move it close to 2%," the authors wrote.

Hi Everyone,
I woke up to increasingly unsettling news about Swine Flu and a global pandemic. When bombarded with Swine Flu information on every news program, article and blog, you can't help but ask yourself, " What can I do to keep my family safe?"
Like most moms, I'm not the type to just sit around–I have to do something. Stocking up on pantry items gives me some sense of control over the situation. Like all of us, I worry first about my children and how to protect them. As The Sneaky Chef, I've always turned to healthy food as my best weapon against illness – swine flu or any other.
Among the obvious things, like washing hands and covering our coughs, the CDC is also recommending nutritious food as one way to avoid getting the flu. Not that we didn't know that already, but it's nice to see it on their website.
So here's one of the ways I'm getting more immune-boosting foods into my family – a cold, sweet, refreshing smoothie. It just so happens to be pretty warm here in NY, so I was already thinking about a naturally sweet and delicious treat for my kids to both refresh and fortify them. It's loaded with vitamin C and I'm giving it to my kids every afternoon. I call it the Sneaky Chef Flu Fighter:
Sneaky Chef Flu Fighter:
Makes 4 servings
1 large orange, peeled
1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
Juice from one fresh lemon
2 cups pomegranate or cranberry juice
4 tablespoons honey
Handful of ice
Put all ingredients in a blender on high until smooth.
Serve in a tall glass with a straw.
Here's to keeping your family healthy!

A special day of prayer was observed last week among strictly Orthodox congregations in response to the growing economic crisis.
Notices were posted in synagogues by the rabbinate of the Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations. Rabbi Avraham Pinter, principal of Yesodey Hatorah said that the crisis "is affecting everybody" and donors had been hit.
"A lot of food products are imported so weakness of the pound is having an additional adverse effect," he said.

University of North Carolina at Charlotte
UNC-Charlotte will post information about the breach here. Those with questions may also call (855) 205-6937.
An online security breach occurred at the UNC-Charlotte campus and was discovered on January 31. It is unclear how much information could have been accessed. The number of people affected was not revealed. An email alert was sent to students and staff on February 15 in order to inform them that a "potentially significant data exposure of its Information Systems" had occurred. The University also stated that it had corrected the known issues related to the breach.
UPDATE (5/09/2012): Around 350,000 people had their Social Security numbers exposed. Financial information was also exposed. A system misconfiguration and incorrect access settings caused a large amount of electronic data hosted by the University to be accessible from the Internet. One exposure issue affected general University systems over a period of about three months. A second exposure issue affected the college of engineering systems for over a decade.

Product Description
1815 - The events of June 18th, 1815 are now as much a part of legend as they are of history. But what would have happened if the Prussians had failed to show at Waterloo? What would have happened if Napoleon had driven up the road to Mons as Wellington expected, or instead driven on Ghent (his greatest fear), cutting the English off from the sea?
A lot has been written about the declining years of Napoleon. Yet strategically, the planning and surprise he sprang on the Coalition in 1815 can only be compared to his first Italian campaign, thought by many to be his finest. How could one of history's greatest commanders plan and execute such a campaign and yet be defeated in its climactic battle?
The Emperor Returns presents the critical days that ran from June 9th through July 3rd, 1815. The 34" x 22" game map portrays the theater of operations from the forest of the Ardennes to the flood-plains of the Atlantic coast. Either one or two players may command the Anglo-Allied and Prussian armies, while one player represents France. Over 200 playing pieces represent the combat units of the campaign (brigades, divisions, corps) differentiated between artillery, cavalry, and infantry. A study folder is included to acquaint players with the less known aspects of the campaign.

Calif. prisons spend big on anti-psychotics for inmates; fear of lawsuits cited
While under federal court oversight, California's prison mental health system has been spending far more on anti-psychotic drugs than other states with large prison systems.
Figures compiled by The Associated Press through a state Public Records Act request show that California has been spending a far greater percentage on anti-psychotic medication for inmates than other states with large prison systems.
While the amount has been decreasing in recent years, anti-psychotics still account for nearly $1 of every $5 spent on pharmaceuticals purchased for the state prison system.
The spending level has raised concerns about whether patients are receiving proper treatment.
J. Clark Kelso, the court-appointed authority in charge of buying prison pharmaceuticals, concluded that California's inmate mental health professionals appear to overmedicate their patients.

Rebels sign Brumbies backrower Colby Faingaa
- From: AAP
- April 21, 2013
THE Melbourne Rebels have snapped up Brumbies backrower Colby Faingaa for 2014 as the former Australian Under-20 captain searches for more Super Rugby game time.
Hemmed in behind world-class Wallabies flankers David Pocock and George Smith this year, Faingaa has signed a one-year deal with the Rebels.
The younger brother of Wallabies Saia and Anthony Faingaa, the 22-year-old is in his fourth Super Rugby season but a serious foot injury and competition with Pocock, Smith and Michael Hooper has seen him start less than half of his 26 caps.
He again came off the bench in the Brumbies' 19-19 draw with the Queensland Reds on Saturday night, replacing Fotu Auelua at blindside flanker midway through the second half.
With Melbourne captain Gareth Delve's foreign marquee deal ending this season, Rebels coach Damien Hill hailed Faingaa as a great signing for the club, especially due to his versatility.
"He is a tremendous openside flanker, who can cover all positions in the back-row, which is a skill not many forwards possess in this competition," Hill said.
"At 22 years of age, he has waited patiently behind some very capable footballers and I am sure that his patience will be rewarded with an opportunity."
No.8 Delve is set to make a welcome return from injury against the Crusaders in Christchurch on Sunday and bolster the back-row alongside Scott Higginbotham.
The table-topping Brumbies also confirmed on the weekend that tighthead prop Dan Palmer and lock/flanker Peter Kimlin will join French club Grenoble at the end of the season.

Route 2, Box 164, Cato, Wisconsin 54206.
The following story is reprinted from the Feb. 1, 1986 issue of
the Manitowoc-Two Rivers, Wisconsin Herald-Times-Reporter with
A 30,000 pound, 11? foot long Model E6 Kahlenberg diesel engine
was placed inside the new maritime museum being constructed on
Maritime Drive on Thursday. The engine was donated to the museum in
1985 by the Kahlenberg Brothers Company in Two Rivers, and was used
in the river towboat Sandra Marie. The engine will be the
centerpiece of the marine technology exhibit in the new museum.
This type of heavy duty diesel engine was manufactured by
Kahlenberg Brothers in the 1950s and early 1960s. Three Model E 6
engines are still in service.
Two of the engines are outfitted in the Ranger III, which
operates between Houghton, Michigan, and Isle Royale in Lake
Superior for the National Park Service. The other Kahlenberg E 6
engine is outfitted in the former tug Green Bay, which once
operated in the Manitowoc area. The tug was modernized and
repowered with the Kahlenberg Engine at Manitowoc Shipbuilding in
William and Otto Kahlenberg started a steam engine business in
Two Rivers in 1895. Three years later the Kahlenberg brothers
became pioneer builders of marine internal combustion engines. In
the early 1900s they brought into the partnership their brother,
John L. Kahlenberg. Kahlenberg engines contributed immensely to the
development of the commercial fishing industry on the Great Lakes,
and were outfitted in fishing boats, tugboats, small freighters,
and pleasure boats. They were marketed around the world and became
famous for their dependability and durability.
Kahlenberg Model E engines were the first self-sustaining
turbo-charged, two-cycle diesel engines in their size category.
This meant that the engine started and operated without the
assistance of a scavenge pump, blower, or any other device to
provide crankcase pressure without which no two-cycle engine can
run. The scavenging and charging air was supplied by an exhaust
turbine blower. This design made the Model E 6 engine more
efficient and powerful.
Kahlenberg Brothers built its last engine in 1964. At the
present time it constructs stainless steel propellers, airhorns,
and other marine equipment such as automatic fog signals and signal

This guide will take you through the film-making process, preparing and recording a score, the history of the field, and the business side of film scoring including contracts, fees, publishing, royalties, and copyrights.
Learn from the career experiences of 19 film-scoring professionals in interviews with composers such as Michael Kamen (Mr. Holland's Opus, Brazil), Alf Clausen (The Simpsons, Naked Gun), Alan Silvestri (Forrest Gump, Contact), Mark Snow (X-Files, Millennium) and Elmer Bernstein (To Kill a Mockingbird, Airplane, Rainmaker).

Please let the author know how helpful his book was to me in my success.

Before tragic death, a perfect vacation
Published: Friday, July 11, 2014 at 11:15 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 11, 2014 at 11:15 p.m.
LIDO KEY - Zachary Collins loved visiting Florida and the beach.
Two years ago, he kayaked with manatees. This year, he kayaked with a shark.
"He checked that off his bucket list," Jennifer Machmer said of her little brother.
A day before the 25-year-old lost his life in a WaveRunner accident off Lido Key this week, he told a friend he was the happiest he had ever been.
Collins — along with his mother, brother and two friends — from New Lexington, Ohio, recently returned to Florida to enjoy a vacation and visit relatives.
On Wednesday, the four men in the group decided to continue their water-based adventures, renting Yamaha WaveRunners and riding them a mile offshore.
Collins was sitting idle on his WaveRunner when something went wrong. The water scooter driven by Collins' friend, Keaton Fowler, collided with him.
Collins suffered trauma to his skull and pelvis, and later died at Sarasota Memorial Hospital.
Fowler sustained non life-threatening injuries.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is investigating the crash.
"Keaton, who was in the accident, is his very best friend," Machmer said.
The men, who had known each other since childhood, worked in the coal mines in Perry County, Ohio.
"Keaton practically lives at my mom's house," Machmer said. "They were very, very close."
Machmer — the oldest of the three siblings — remembers Collins as a quiet guy, the kind of person you listened to when he spoke because you knew the words were important.
He was never mad, except when the Cincinnati Bengals lost.
"You couldn't talk to him for hours. He'd get so angry about it," an emotional Machmer said Friday in a phone interview.
He was funny, caring, loving — "a great kid," Machmer said.
Family and friends are in shock over her brother's death, she added.
Machmer is finding some solace in the few, but profound words her brother recently posted to Facebook.
"You were born to make mistakes, not fake perfection," one post says.
Another reads: "If you're lucky enough to get a second chance at something, don't waste it."

Worries? What Worries? Stocks Recoup Most Losses
Today started as one of those typical 2011-type of days. Worries about Europe startled US investors and had many, including us, wondering if a repeat of last year's mentality was poised for a comeback.
But those jitters haven't translated into steep market losses. Quite the opposite as investors have been "buying the dips" and slowly pushing the market back toward positive territory.
Major stock indexes have recouped most of the earlier losses and look poised to turn higher. It's not like all those worries from this morning have gone away. But the bulls will take it.
It's a pattern we've seen several times this year. Stocks open lower as European stocks languish. Then Europe closes and U.S. stocks start marching higher.
The trend has continued today, with tech stocks leading the intraday rally. Apple shares are among the top tech gainers, up 1.3% at $453.31. Dell is up 2% and Microsoft has tacked on 1.3%.
"We would not chase the market here but would look to become buyers on pullbacks," says Marry Ann Bartels, head of U.S. Technical Analysis at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
Dow industrials were recently down 20 points, or 0.2%, to 12640, after earlier falling as much as 131 points. The S&P 500 dropped about 4 points, or 0.3%, to 1313. The tech-heavy Nasdaq was only down 1 point, or 0.1%, to 2815.
"The mega indices are technically positioned the best," Ms. Bartels says. "The Nasdaq100 is the strongest and tied to our longer-term theme of growth favored over value."

Going to run four pc's in the cafe/restaurant of the hotel that I work
for. These pc's will just offer surfing and printing. Was thinking
about using a live linux distro like mepis or knoppix. Just running
off the cd and not using the hard drive. Was wondering if there was a
good small live distro that doesnt have a lot of bells and whistles.
Users might need open office but chances are they wont. Also most of
the live distros have a guest and root login by default...anyway i can
limit the login to the guest account?...maybe with a login script with
a floppy?..would this work if I am using a live linux distro?...any
suggestions would be helpful..thanks David

Best Uses
I got hooked on Noro bulky yarn some time ago and love all of them but one. It knits smoothly with unending color surprises. I must have made myself 15 Noro turtlenecks and every single time I've been stopped by someone who wanted to know where she could buy one. I've had people stop me and have me write down the name of the yarn and website where I get it. This, like almost all the bulky yarn, has enough of a blend so that the sweaters never pill. The blends are soft enough to wear against your skin. I made 2 sweaters out of 20 skeins of Obi (my sweaters fall about three inches above the knee). Never had more than two knots in a skein which is ok with me because you get so much yardage. This stuff is a show-stopper.
There can be a hippie/organic feel to the sweaters I've made because all have been on the vibrant color spectrum. I like feeling colorful and warm and hip wearing Noro on these dreadful snow/ice/overcast days. I got my knitting group hooked on this too. (Started with malabrigo but much too pilly, even as you're knitting)

Too many knots
By Knotty Knitter
from Los Angeles
I bought this for the Cream Crisp sweater on the cover of their magazine. There were so many knots it made it impossible to follow the same color way.

Too many knots
By Shannon
from Tulsa, OK
- Pretty colors
- A lot of knots
Best Uses
- Sweater
I bought this to make the cardigan sweater on the cover of the Webs winter catalogue. The yarn is very pretty, but throughout the skein, the yarn had been joined by knots. Because it is a self-striping yarn, I have been trying to match the colors on each side of the cardigan. However, the colors are not consistent because the yarn is joined by knot in several places, which is removing some of the colors in the order. This has been very frustrating as I have had to separate each skein and splice the colors in so that they are consistent. I would've expected that from a lesser quality and price yarn, but not from this.

1.The satisfaction of building your own PC.
Ever repaired an old car back to health again? Perhaps you were a Legos geek when you were younger? Well then let me make this clear to you. Building your own PC will make you proud and happy about your investment! Whether you have a 600-dollar budget or a 3,000-dollar budget, building your own PC is always more fulfilling than just buying a console.
2. Multiplayer is FREE!
Yeah, yeah, yeah… I know what you're going to say. "But I only have to pay on my Xbox 360!" You may be right, you PS3 and Wii owners, but this next reason will help you come into the light.
3. Modification of video games.
Do you ever get bored of one of your favorite video games on the console? Tired of the same guns and the same old levels? Well, if you had a PC you'd be able to download new levels, new weapons, and new enemies for free! That's right, all you console owners. Forget the console and the DLC. Buy a PC to start downloading free mods! Hell, PC gamers were the ones who gave the developers the DLC idea.
Plus- you might learn a thing or two about computer programming!
4. The ability to upgrade your computer hardware.
That's right! I said it! None of you console owners can argue with this. Hell, I bet some of you have watched, in envy, videos of your favorite game that has maxed out graphics on a PC. On a console, the developer may dumb down the graphics just so that console doesn't fry when it's put to the test.
The options to exchange your video card for a more advanced one is far surpassed options on any console. For more advancements, you have to wait for the next-gen console while the PC Gamer basks in his freedom of being able to upgrade now.
So please, drop the controller and grab a mouse. Nuff said.

Newborn Baby Clothes Guide

>>> Newborn Baby Clothes <<<
Why Are Baby Clothes Important?
Your baby is here! For nine months he or she lived and grew in the perfect environment. Within your womb, your baby never felt cold. However, now that your baby has entered the world, she is no longer protected by your body and needs a different outside source to stay comfortable and warm.
Thus, the need for baby clothing! Arguably one of the most enjoyable chores in preparing for the birth of your little one is buying baby clothing. This activity, however, can be a little bit confusing, when you begin to study the care labels, sizes, and different types of baby clothing.
There are a number of things to consider when buying baby clothes: the clothes must be comfortable, babies grow very fast, and not to buy something just because it's cute. The most important reason for baby clothing is for comfort. If the clothing is not comfortable, the baby may fuss or cry or be generally unhappy. Clothes that you buy for your newborn may be outgrown very quickly.

Lamisil Oral Granules User Reviews
Lamisil Oral Granules - User Reviews
Lamisil Oral Granules User Reviews
Now you can gain knowledge and insight about a drug treatment with Patient Discussions.
Here is a collection of user reviews for the medication Lamisil Oral Granules sorted by most helpful.
I took Lamisil for 6 weeks. At first, I suffered diarrhea and nausea but didn't connect it to the drug. Then, I started getting an intermittent tingling in my hand. After about 3 weeks, certain foods didn't taste good. Then finally, I couldn't taste food at all, my tongue tingled and I had a very nasty salty taste in my mouth. I also felt very irritable and edgy...just not well. I stopped taking the drug almost 3 weeks ago. Although the tingling has stopped in the hand, I still can't taste food and my tongue tingles. I've read that some people have yet to get their taste back after a year. I hope mine returns and the nasty taste that's always presents eventually subsides. I regret taking the drug.
Yes it is highly effective. My toenails looked horrible. Warped, yellowed, deformed, disgusting. I mean they were so bad I was thinking surgical removal was the only option. Had been living with toe fungus for over 10 years. Finally got a prescription for Lamasil and was instructed to take one each day for 90 days, and I did, although I had to be very careful not to miss a dose. Within 3 weeks I began to see a change, the talons were growing out and being replaced with clear, healthy nail. After 90 days most of my toes had replaced the infected nail and for the forst time in over a decade I had normal, clear nails again. The big toes take the longest, the infection is still present in about 1/4 of them but it sgould be gone within 2 months. Overall extremely satisfied and impressed. No side effects at all. Highly recommend.
Lamisil actually put me in the hospital due to a severe skin rash. intraveneuos steroids over a period of 3 days was the only thing that took care of the rash. I think that the FDA really needs to take a closer look at this drug. There are too many bad reactions people could have such as liver problems to losing taste buds. This stuff is scary.

only on this med for 3 weeks lost all sense of taste. it has been three weeks since I went off and still no taste. I am depressed, weak from not eating and have lost 15 lbs. the sad part is the Dr. says I wasn't on the Medicisne long enough for it to even work. I am sorry I ever tried it
After using for about 5 weeks, I have lost most of my taste. My Dr. said to stop taking it. When will I get my taste back. I have been off it for about 1 week. It seems better, but still has a long way to go.
I had a great experience with Lamisil. I'm a 26 year old male who had 4 infected nails for about 8 years. I started taking Lamisil in October, and by early November I started to see new clean nails begin to grow in. I had no problems at all with my liver function, I was even able to drink moderately on the weekends with no issue (though obviously not recommended) I've been off Lamisil for about a month now and all 4 of my nails have just finished growing out perfectly clean. I wish I would have done this sooner.
I have been taking lamisil for nearly 2 months now. I haven't really seen any change in my toenails..yet. My sense of taste is significantly altered as of about 2 weeks ago. Water even tastes funny. I have a persistent metal taste in my mouth. It is not very pleasant. I was wondering if I could switch over to a topical treatment and stop the oral med.
I had darkening toe nails that looked very unattractive. Me wife made me see the doctor for to see if there was something that could help. I did not want to use medication because of possible side efects.I must say after 3 months I see tremedous results and finished taking the meds orally. It should continue to work over time.My 12yr. old daugther had nail fungus also, she used the meds before I did and she is very happy with the results of the meds.
I took this medication for a couple of weeks and developed a very itchy rash all over my torso, arms & legs. I stopped taking the meds and I continue to have the rash. This medicine's benefits do not outweigh the side effects. Be cautious when choosing this medicine over alternative treatments.
I've been taking Lamisil for about a month now and have had no side effects. It has even helped my atheletes foot that I haven't been able to get rid of. Nail is already starting to grow out and looks good so far. I had infection on 3 toes on one foot. Big toe was the worst. My dr. ordered blood tests before I started taking med to monitor my liver and have to repeat it in 6 weeks. Hope the next 2 months go as good as the first.

Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack recently announced a new initiative to restore the health of the Mississippi River Basin, from the upper reaches in Ohio, Wisconsin and Minnesota all the way to the Gulf Coast of Louisiana. The new Mississippi River Basin Healthy Watersheds Initiative (MRBI) will provide approximately $320 million over the next four years to projects in 12 states throughout the watershed.
"This is a tremendous initiative for restoring a watershed that millions of migrating waterfowl use every year," said Dan Wrinn, director of public policy for Ducks Unlimited. "The Mississippi Alluvial Valley is the most important wintering habitat for mallards, and the lower portion of the Mississippi Delta winters 10-25 percent of the canvasbacks in North America."
The 12 states that will be involved in the MRBI are Arkansas, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee and Wisconsin.
Ducks Unlimited and 10 other conservation groups have formed a new partnership to restore the second-largest river in California. The San Joaquin River flows through critical waterfowl habitat area in California's Central Valley.
The new San Joaquin River Partnership will work with landowners, state and federal agencies and community groups to implement the San Joaquin River Restoration Settlement Program.
Sept. 26 was National Hunting and Fishing Day, set aside by Congress every year to acknowledge the importance of hunters and anglers to the U.S. conservation tradition.
Hunters and anglers contribute more than $76 billion to the U.S. economy every year, but threats to clean water and habitat continue to jeopardize an American tradition.
Ducks Unlimited continues to work to restore clean water protections to wetlands and waterfowl habitat, improve hunter access and work with farmers and landowners to find practical ways to conserve their land for current and future benefits.
Shortly after Ducks Unlimited Director of Governmental Affairs Scott Sutherland testified before the House Natural Resources Insular Affairs, Oceans and Wildlife Subcommittee on the need to enhance the popular and successful North American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA), a vote on the bill was scheduled for Sept. 30 in the full committee. Once the bill is passed at the committee level, it will be sent to the House floor for a vote, and then on to the Senate.
The amendment to NAWCA would encourage more investment into the program, which requires at least $1 in matching funds for each $1 in federal grants. Since the program is so popular, projects completed through NAWCA generally have at least $2 in matching funds for each dollar in grants.
In other NAWCA news, the Senate has passed its version of the Interior Appropriations bill, which contains the annual funding for NAWCA. The Senate approved $45.1 million for the program for fiscal year 2010 – over $2 million more than last year, but less funding than the House approved, and the President recommended for the program. The House and the Senate will now meet to reach a consensus on funding NAWCA and the other programs in the bill.

Various chapters of the Service Employees International Union have stopped collecting fees from home care workers who are not union members, a move that exemplifies the broader implications of a recent Supreme Court ruling.
The court's decision only prevented SEIU from collecting fees of such workers in Illinois. But in an attempt to quench lawsuits by the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, various chapters outside of Illinois have stopped collecting fees of similar workers.
"We can't afford to be distracted by more attacks," said Meghan Finegan, a spokeswoman for SEIU Healthcare.
Finegan said lawsuits are a distraction from the campaign...
