The U.S. Army (Army) and the Fort Ord Reuse Authority (FORA) entered negotiations in Spring 2005 for an Army-funded Environmental Services Cooperative Agreement (ESCA) addressing "cleanup"/ remediation of Army Munitions and Explosives of Concern (MEC) on approximately 3,340 former Fort Ord acres. In 2007, the Army awarded FORA approximately $100M for MEC cleanup to address remnant hazard safety issues resulting from previous Army munitions training operations conducted at the former Fort Ord. The 1997 adopted FORA Base Reuse Plan defines development on Economic Development Conveyance (EDC) properties. The ESCA grant enables MEC removal on EDC property not yet certified for transition from military to civilian use. At this time, the planned ESCA MEC remediation field activities are complete and ESCA field teams have:
- Recovered over 4,900 munitions items and 50,000 pounds of munitions debris;
- Sifted over 150,000 cubic yards of soil; and
- Removed residual Army cultural debris(115,000 pounds).
During these critical public safety actions, worker security was sustained with no injuries. Once the ESCA documentation is complete, the Army will issue proposed remedy plans and, ultimately, Records of Decision (ROD). Since the regulatory agencies have agreed that remediation is complete on the County North Munitions Removal Area (MRA) and Parker Flats Phase I properties, FORA has transferred these properties to the County of Monterey and Monterey Peninsula College. The ESCA Remediation Program (RP) has diligently conserved former Fort Ord ecological resources through habitat management restoration and monitoring. For the past eight years, the ESCA RP has:
- Managed 15 threatened and endangered species on approximately 3,340 acres;
- Restored 14 acres of Coastal Chaparral habitat,
- Sprouted and planted more than 30,000 native plant seedlings;
- Removed invasive weed species such as Ice Plant, French Broom and Pampas Grass;
- Continually removed illegally dumped materials on ESCA properties;
- Sponsored a Volunteer Trash Cleanup Day for 2 miles of former Fort Ord roads;
- Created a system to report illegal trash dumping; and,
- Removed dilapidated Army structures such as latrines, range towers and training structures.
Since 2007, the ESCA RP has worked with local jurisdictions and community groups to provide safe coordinated access through ESCA properties to the new Fort Ord National Monument through the use of multiple ESCA roads for bikers, hikers, runners and equestrians. The ESCA RP's robust community involvement and outreach program has been effective in communicating and delivering valuable information concerning safe access, access restrictions and corridors and program updates via Informal Community Workshops, ESCA updates at FORA Board meetings, Army Community Information Workshops, representation at informational booths at community events, on-site information kiosks, signage at various trailheads, a dedicated ESCA website, newsletters, Facebook presence and ESCA Hotline.

DETROIT (AP) -- It could be a very busy fall at the federal courthouse in Detroit.
A judge this week set a Sept. 13 trial for nine people accused of conspiring to commit rebellion against the United States and other crimes. The government says they're members of a southern Michigan militia called Hutaree.
Three weeks later, on Oct. 4, the Nigerian man charged with trying to blow up an airplane faces trial. Of course, plea deals, the dismissal of charges or other factors could change the schedule.
Defense attorneys in the militia case are disputing the government's claim of any conspiracy. The deadline to challenge evidence is May 2.

"Melinda Nemechek was my late mother's favorite artist," said Mark Beling, director of the Breckenridge Mountain Art Festivals, addressing a group of fine artists recently. "You'll always be in my shows."
Nemechek, an internationally acclaimed Front Range oil painter, was in the 31st annual Breckenridge July Art Festival and is appearing at the 13th annual Breckenridge Main Street Festival this weekend, Friday, July 25, through Sunday, July 27. She'll also be at the 39th annual Gathering at the Great Divide, slated for Labor Day weekend.
"I have been doing Mark's shows since we had the shows in the Bell Tower Mall, and we had a Memorial Day show that usually included snow," she said. "I do eight to 10 shows each year. I currently do only Colorado shows."
Nemechek will be one of 105 artists representing 20 states, plus Yoram Gal from Israel, including 46 artists from Colorado. She said she's been drawing and painting for as long as she can remember.
"I grew up in Kansas, lived on a ranch for a while, where horses and dogs were my favorite subjects," she said. "I loved the old barns and fences that I thought were the 'Old West.'"
In 1970, the artist relocated to Colorado.
"I'm so inspired," she said. "I think there's a painting everywhere I look. I love Colorado — the skies, the seasons, the beautiful, vibrant colors. I especially love aspen trees. I love the way the sunlight plays through the branches, like the sun trying to chase away the shadows. I still like old barns, little cabins and the adobe buildings of the Southwest, and they are often part of my paintings."
Nemechek's paintings spark memories and inspire dreams. She is best known for majestic oil landscapes of the Rocky Mountain West and "canyon" paintings of the Southwest. Dominated by mountains and grand Western skies, the vibrant colors of the changing seasons are the backdrop for creeks, flowers and the aspen trees of the Rocky Mountains. Every painting is inspired by the drama of light and shadow patterns in nature.
Nemechek captures a magical moment in time that is peaceful and serene, which looks untouched, except for a trail or a little cabin. She uses a close-up, limited perspective that leads the viewer into feeling that he or she is actually a witness to the scene. The artist lives and paints in her mountain studio near Conifer at an altitude of almost 9,000 feet. The studio setting, surrounded by aspens and pines, provides unlimited subject material for her Rocky Mountain landscapes.
An avid hiker, Nemechek has topped many of Colorado's 14ers and highest passes and hiked the Grand Canyon and much of the canyon country of the Southwest.

Two Andrew Jackson High School students were disciplined after they made a noose out of shoelaces and placed it in a tree at band camp Friday, Aug. 5, said Bryan Vaughn, safety director for Lancaster County School District.
The noose-like device was two shoelaces tied together, said Bryan Vaughn, safety director for Lancaster County School District. He said two students made the device and hung it in a tree after getting the shoelaces from a third student.
Anthony "T" Sutton will defend his title this weekend in the annual Lancaster Golf Club championship at the LGC.
Sutton, a Buford High School golf star, heads a strong field in contention for the LGC's top honor.
A year ago, Sutton shot a 150 (72-78) to capture a six-shot win over Buford High School golf teammate Garrett Crenshaw, (81-75). Crenshaw was tied with Bruce Gantt at the end of regulation, but carded a par on the first playoff hole to finish as the runner-up to Sutton.

S.C. Attorney General Alan Wilson was one of many Republican officials and candidates who turned out last week to support Lancaster County Sheriff Barry Faile during a campaign event at the Sun City Carolina Lakes Lodge.
"Barry Faile is a great sheriff," Wilson told the crowd. "And any opportunity I can have to talk about him, I do it."
Beneath the surface of our community is an interconnected web of services working to make life better for the sometimes invisible homeless population.
The strands connect various agencies, churches and volunteers so that one phone call can result in food, clean clothes, resources, and now, even a hot shower for a homeless person.
Through the coordinated efforts of Lancaster Area Coalition for the Homeless (LACH), local churches and volunteers, a new shower truck will be unveiled at 10 a.m. Saturday at The Life Center, 421 West Gay Street.
Buford High School math teacher Margaret Page became teary-eyed this week when a back-to-school luncheon turned into a surprise celebration marking her 50th year in the classroom.
"I can't stop at 49. There's something special about 5-0," Page said Monday to the room full of smiling faces at Hopewell United Methodist Church. The crowd included her family and staff from her school and the district.
Two years ago, Lancaster County gave Duracell property-tax incentives designed to save the company about $11 million over three decades in return for the battery manufacturer spending $69 million over five years to upgrade its plant.
It's the kind of deal Lancaster and most other counties make often. Duracell gets to divert tax payments into profits, and the county secures good-paying manufacturing jobs. Those workers support their families and spend their money locally, supporting many more jobs and families.
A prayer service was held Wednesday evening outside the Municipal Justice Center on East Arch Street in an effort to bring law enforcement and the community together.
"Everybody needs prayer," said the Rev. Kenneth Cauthen of Mt. Nebo Baptist Church, who also serves as Lancaster Police Department chaplain.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (April 17th, 2014) — There's no real science to Josh Diekmann's game plan.
"I go out there and try to hit the other guy hard and not let him hit me that hard," Diekmann said. "It's a lot simpler than people make it out to be."
And what if the other guy does hit as hard?
"Who gives a fuck?" Diekmann said. "Sometimes you've got to walk into one in order to get one."
What you see is what you get with Diekmann — unafraid, unfiltered, and always ready to let his hands go. When "The Freight Train" steps inside the cage, there's a strong chance (a 94 percent chance, to be exact) the fight won't go the distance, and that's precisely what Diekmann is hoping for again Friday, April 25th, 2014 when he faces veteran heavyweight Keith Bell (4-4-1, 3 KOs) of Newport News, Va., on the undercard of "CES MMA XXIII" at Twin River Casino.
"To me, if you win a decision, you really don't win the fight," Diekmann said. "You're just ahead when time runs out. To me, you finish the fight. That's how you win a fight."
"I'm not that guy," said Bell, a former standout wrestler at Niagara County Community College. "I'm real calm, collected. I've been put out before and have come back and won.
"Why train so hard just to blow it in 30 seconds? You can't make it to the next level playing that game, and I'll be the one to make you look like a dumbass when we touch gloves."
Tickets for "CES MMA XXIII" are on sale now at $40.00, $55.00, $100.00 and $125.00 (VIP) and can be purchased online at www.cesmma.com or www.twinriver.com or by phone at 401-724-2253/2254. All fights and fighters are subject to change.
The 6-foot-2, 37-year-old Diekmann (14-5, 10 KOs), a Groton, Conn., native, has won 10 fights by knockout and four by submission. The only time he went the distance in 19 professional fights was a year and a half ago in a loss to Tyler King. He's also been knocked out once and submitted three times.
Diekmann either finishes or gets finished, and it's the reason he's become one of New England's most popular fighters, a welcome reprieve from the common stall tactic in mixed martial arts derisively referred to as "lay and pray."
"Who wants to see that? I wouldn't want to see that if I was buying a ticket," Diekmann said. "I'm an entertainer, first and foremost. People pay to watch me fight. They're not just there to see me win. Without fans, we don't have a sport. It'd just be two guys punching each other. There has to be something there.
"That's why I sell a lot of tickets. Either I get knocked out, or the other guy gets knocked out."
Except in February, when Diekmann's scheduled three-round bout against Manny Lara on the undercard of Bellator 110 ended in 18 seconds after Lara absorbed an inadvertent thumb to the eye, resulting in a no contest, hence why he's back at Twin River next Friday. Needing a fight to stay sharp, Diekmann immediately turned to CES, with whom he had fought three of his previous four bouts.
"They always take care of me," Diekmann said. "Even when I'm not fighting, they make sure I have a good seat and take good care of my buddies.
"A lot of other promoters preach that family shit, but in my experiences with CES it's been true. I lost my first two fights with them and they still treat me well. They're top shelf. I've fought for a lot of guys. I've been doing this for 11 years and have fought for nearly every local promotion, and hands down CES is the best. They're the most professional, and they put on the best fights by far. If I'm going to fight for anyone else, it's going to be them."
After beating Chris Guillen in a rematch on CES' November Pro-Am event at Foxwoods Resort Casino, Diekmann has a chance to even his record with CES against Bell, a 6-3, 256-pound Bellator vet with a similar penchant for finishing fights. He's won two of his last three since 2013, while each of his last five fights dating back to October of 2012 have ended within the first round.
"I always pick up something along the way," Bell said. "I'm a bigger heavyweight, not a 5-foot-10 heavyweight who swings for the fences. I don't need to do that. I have reach. I do other things heavyweights don't do, and that's why it works.
"I wouldn't say [Diekmann] is one-dimensional. I just haven't seen him in a lot of tough situations. I watched his fight in 2012 [against King] and he got taken down over and over again. Anytime he fights a bigger heavyweight he has problems because he tries to slug it out with the guy. That's what people want to see, but that's not the best option.
"If he wants to do that against me, that's fine. We have a game plan for that."
Diekmann's not concerned about Bell's size or reach, nor is making his own game plan more difficult than it needs to be.
"He's a big boy," Diekmann said, "but I've fought big guys before. Sometimes, guys get crazy with their game plans. Just go fight. Work on your stuff and use it. It's you and another guy fighting. That's it. What's the best way to win? Go out and hurt the other guy. When you see a fight in the street, one guy hurts the other guy and it's over.
"I'm not really great at anything, but I can do a little bit of everything. Sometimes that gives me an advantage."
Having already fought for more than a decade, Diekmann treats every fight as if it's his last, so when asked what's next on the schedule, he says, "When you get to my age, you just take it one fight at a time. That's one thing I've learned. Take it how it comes. I only have so many of these left, so I'm trying to enjoy them."
Only if they last long enough to savor. These days, Diekmann is making quick work of everyone put in front of him.
"I used to get scared, thinking I'm not good enough to do this or that," Diekmann said. "Now I just take each challenge as it comes."
Coming off an impressive win in January, Boston featherweight Rob Font (9-1, 2 KOs) will return to face Tristan Johnson (8-4, 3 KOs) of Nova Scotia, Canada, in the main event. The 30-year-old Johnson has won three of his last five fights, including a split-decision victory over Bellator vet Will Romero in 2012, while Font has won his last eight.
"CES MMA XXIII" also features the return of fan-favorites Tateki Matsuda and Eric Spicely. Matsuda (8-5, 4 KOs), the Boston bantamweight who's fought everywhere from Maine to Tokyo since his last appearance with CES in 2010, will battle the unbeaten Matt Doherty (3-0, 2 KOs) of Salem, Mass., in what figures to be one of the most intriguing intrastate matchups on the card. Matsuda has lost his last two while Doherty is coming off a submission win over Shaun Marmas in January.
Spicely (3-0) will put his unbeaten record on the line against 37-fight veteran Nuri Shakir (17-20, 8 KOs) of Nashua, N.H., in a three-round welterweight bout. Providence's Spicely last fought in December with a first-round knockout win over Tyler Rose. The 35-year-old Shakir owns wins over UFC vets Tom Egan and Nick Serra.
Also on the undercard, Pawtucket, R.I., welterweight Abe Pitrowski (5-2, 1 KO) will face Samuel Almeida (2-0) of Framingham, Mass.; lightweight Bobby Flynn (4-1, 1 KO) of Mashpee, Mass., will battle Providence's Tundee Odumuso (2-2); and featherweight Pete Rogers Jr. (0-1) of Baltic, Conn., will face Manny Torres (2-2) of Hartford, Conn. Two-time Bellator vet Rico DiSciullo (1-0) of Peabody, Mass., will face Jordan Espinosa (3-3) of Findlay, Ohio in a three-round bantamweight bout, and East Providence, R.I., heavyweight Eric Bedard (6-4, 4 KOs) will battle Matthew Thompson (18-9, 7 KOs) of Austin, Tex.

For some reason a few links don't show the most recent post. I've tried installing a few other blogroll plugins and they do show the most recent posts so it isn't an issue with the site's rss, it's something with the plugin.
My link page is at http://www.lastgaspgrimoire.com/further-reading/ (and for example "Dungeon of Signs" in the first category has posted much more recently than it shows)
A friend also has the same issue at http://www.necropraxis.com/
Everything else about this plugin is perfect, so if you have any idea why we might be having this issue it would be much appreciated.

The two Lancashire clubs have agreed a compensation package under the Elite Player Performance Plan for the 16-year-old, who broke into the Stanley first team this year and has played six times for James Beattie's men.
The winger will now link up with Rovers' development squad, which has produced talents such as Phil Jones, Grant Hanley and Jason Lowe in recent seasons.
"It is something I have dreamt of for a very long time," Mahoney told Blackburn's official website.
"If it was any other club then I probably would have stayed at Accrington Stanley, because I have had a wonderful time there.
"I'm glad this deal has gone through, it is the only one I would have accepted and I just can't wait to get out there now."
Stanley's youth team beat their West Ham counterparts in midweek, suggesting their future is particularly bright, and Beattie thinks Mahoney really shone among his peers.
"Connor is perhaps a stand-out player in an excellent group of academy players," he said.
"He's played league football and withstood it even though he hasn't physically matured yet. He's a very astute young man who knows what he wants and when the interest first arose from Blackburn I let him know straight away. I believe that's right, we looked after him and Blackburn have been spot on throughout the negotiations.
"It's not just been about getting the best financial deal but also the best deal for Connor. It's a massive club and we didn't want him to just get lost in the system. I think he's good enough to do really well there. He's a fantastic young player and I've spoken to (Blackburn boss) Gary Bowyer at length about him and I may well be knocking on his door to get Connor back on loan in the future."

I've managed to schedule an Inland SAR Planning Course, presented by the US National SAR School, for June of 2014. This is a week-long course designed for SAR planners/ICs/OSCs, etc.
This is the ideal course for any CAP IC, Planning Section Chief or Operations Section Chief to gain the knowledge and skills required to plan and manage any sort of large-scale search incident!
I have secured the week of 2-6 June 2014 at Volk Field. There is no cost for billeting or tuition.
Interested personnel can apply at the link below. It will take you to a
CAP NHQ page used for all CAP personnel to apply.
Apply Online for Inland SAR Planning CourseThis is a great in-depth course for planning any sort of missing person (or aircraft) search, and we don't often get this class brought to our neck of the woods. I'd love to see
massive participation from WIWG as well as GLR!
The complete course description is copied in below:
The 5-day Inland SAR Planning Course is a comprehensive look at inland search theory and its application to land and air searches for missing persons and aircraft with a focus on wilderness, not urban, searches.
The course consists of classroom lessons and practical, tabletop exercises; the course does not incorporate field training. Course emphasis is on the planning tools necessary for effective area-type searching during an extended search, using Probability of Success (POS) rather than just a few elements of POC or POD to predicatively allocate limited resources to their best effect – in essence, what to do after the rapid/hasty search and specialty resources have not found the missing person or search object. Additional topics include search area development, effort allocation, an overview of the federal role in SAR and Catastrophic Incident SAR response, and related subjects. The course is not a comprehensive search management course and does not teach search tactics or technical procedures, as those are well covered from other readily available sources.
Aiming to "find the search object fast," the course centers on tools to help SARdecision makers determine where to search, how to divide an area between limited search resources, and how to craft the overall search effort to gain the best increases in likelihood of success at each step. The tools are mathematically based and not for the faint of heart; they help quantify the uncertainties of the search problem to allow consistent application throughout a mission.
The course is directed toward SAR leaders in federal, military, state, and local emergency services and law enforcement, as well as Civil Air Patrol, international, and volunteer SAR agencies – those few people who are responsible for the planning and overall conduct of inland search missions. The target audience includes on-scene incident commanders and their planners, operations leaders, and up-channel reporting chain. The general searcher or search team leader, while arguably the most important part of the SAR team, would likely not find this course useful.
Classes begin promptly at 0800 on the convening date and graduate by 1530 on the fifth day.
Prior to class, students should review and be conversant on the following from their own agencies in order to make class discussions more useful and help integrate class materials with their own search environments back home:
• Search pre-plans,
• Decision making guidelines for where/when/how to search,
• Agreements and relationships with other SAR agencies,
• How their agency organizes on scene,
• Recent search missions
A firm grounding in SAR terminology and employment techniques, practical SARexperience, basic arithmetic and calculator skills, an understanding of local SARmission management requirements, and an open mind are essential.
The National Search & Rescue School was established in 1966 as a facility devoted exclusively to training professionals to conduct search and rescue. The school is currently located at USCG Training Center Yorktown, Virginia, and teaches a variety of maritime and inland search planning courses. Graduates number over 14,000 men and women, civilian and military, including over 1,400 from 103 foreign nations.

Contacted Wholesale Furniture, they said the would contact the manufacturer, Hacienda Furniture, in Riverside, CA.
Wholesale Furniture called back and said there is nothing they can do.
I called Hacienda directly. They told me there is only a 1 year warranty on the leather, not a 5 year warranty.
Would have never purchased furniture if we knew there was only a 1 year warranty on the leather and that it was part vinyl.
Called Wholesale Furniture back. Told them their salesperson misrepresented what we were buying. They then said they would pay to ship furniture back to manufacturer if we pay for cost of repair. This is not acceptable to us. We then asked to have owner of Wholesale Furniture call us.
Afer several weeks, no call. We called back. Owner, Don Moore, was there. Was very rude. After hinting that I was going to file a small claim, he changed his tune and offered to have someone from Wholesale come to our house and take a look at the furniture. That was over a month ago. No call.

With the Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway Deluxe Tidmouth Timber Co., kids can take Thomas from the Island of Sodor to Misty Island and back again. There are two ways to build this playset, and the pieces are compatible with other Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway sets so that kids can build out their Thomas world. As kids push Thomas along the track, they'll also be able to load and unload logs at the Tidmouth Timber Mill, travel through a tree trunk tunnel, visit the Sodor Log Crane, and go up, over, and down a mountain. The set includes a Thomas engine and cargo car that attach via magnets, two magnetic logs, and a magnetic, spinning crane as well as 17 track pieces and two mountain pieces.
This set is really well-designed for little kids, making it fun and easy for them to create new adventures for Thomas. This is a great addition to a Thomas Wooden Railway collection or a dramatic way to begin one.
The Deluxe Tidmouth Timber Co. is for Thomas & Friends fans ages 3 and up.
It took us 15 minutes to put this together. Some of the assembly will require adult participation.

Unusual road kill found in Indiana
Department of Natural Resource officials were quite surprised when they came across a very unusual road kill in White County, Indiana Friday.
Officers with the DNR found an armadillo on the Washington Street Bridge in Monticello. They said there are a few reports of armadillos in southern Indiana each year, but this is the first they've seen so far north.
Officers believe the animal may have crawled into the engine compartment of a semi, and hitched a ride from somewhere down south, where armadillos are a bit more common.

wtf its not unusual that they stand on the ground.
btw: very bad work with the perspective
The "paintings" version of this idea makes more sense to me because sometime fire extinguishers are actually placed on the floor. It's not strikingly obvious that a fire extinguisher should be on the wall even though most are.
Sigh.... there's a great idea under this one, but the execution completely misses the mark. A single fire extinguisher, a few bent and broken drill bits and a burned out drill still smoking (and maybe a very frustrated construction worker) would have been much clearer and stronger.

Did anyone notice the ac vents running along the windows? Perhaps they too couldn't be nailed (fitted?) in the walls.
its really good idea. Guys should think before comment about ads. this building is made by jype cement and cant nail on it. ( thats way the fire extinguisher kept down)
If that's how strong the cement is. I DON'T WANT IT. okay CAPS off.
Not a bad idea if this theme used in TVC. but it is difficult to communicate this theme to the audience through press ad.

Even if everyone else has a good definition, theyre still missing an area specific one. In Western PA, Hoss's is a steakhouse thats all around the area. And with things like Hoss burger, The Hoss(the mascot) and hoss-sauce, its become a Pittsburgh thing that Hoss means dick, cock, penis, etc. Saying hey hoss doesnt have any positive meaning, because its saying hey dick.

Kraig-"How bout you gobble my Hoss Ffej??"
"Wow, look at that emo fuck. He definitely loooves the Hoss."
"Does Poops ever shut up? God that kid is such a fuckin Hoss."

Funkyball Worlds, an engaging new marble-rolling platformer from Handmark, is available from the app store. A lengthy game with nice controls and a cheery presentation, Funkyball Worlds is certainly worth taking a look and you might just find yourself drawn into the challenging gameplay.
Funkyball Worlds Pros:
- 72 levels worth of ball-rolling fun
- Nice map scrolling option
- Fairly soothing and relaxing soundtrack
- OpenFeint achievement system
Funkyball Worlds Cons:
- None with version 1.10.003
There are 24 levels worth of ball-rolling fun to be had in each of three environmentally-varied worlds (Forest, Desert, and Water), a total of 72 levels broken up by difficulty. Your goal is to get the ball from its starting position to the end goal as quickly as possible, as a timer tracks how long it takes to get there. There are stars to collect along the way which reduce your overall score by a second for each one you collect. Obstacles exist to hinder your trek, such as exploding mines, blowtorches, laser beams, disappearing platforms, and more. Various environmental factors also add a twist, as you'll compete against desert winds and the buoyancy of water. Upon completion of each level, you receive a gold, silver, or bronze star based on your speed and performance in reaching the goal. Proper utilization of momentum is key to landing the difficult platforms and setting record times. The game includes a nice map scrolling option, where tapping on the icon pauses the game and allows you to pan around to get a sense of where you need to go next. Re-tapping the icon brings you back to the ball and unpauses the scene.
Graphically, the game employs a palette of bright, pastel colors and thick outlines, giving it a light, airy feel. The levels are littered with stars and objects have a thick, children's-game-style appearance, which works for the game but might be a turn off for adult gamers. The soundtrack has a very dreamlike feel to it, which is fairly soothing and relaxing. It seems in keeping with the smooth rolling animation and fits the game well. If you don't agree, you can turn off the soundtrack and access your own music library from the Settings menu. Controls utilize either touch or tilt to move the ball around. Tapping the screen facilitates jumping from platform to platform, and it works unquestionably well. We liked that both the appearance and controls had a Spy Bot Chronicles-type feel.
Replay value is pretty good, as the harder difficulty levels will require repeated attempts to pass and the OpenFeint achievement system (of which there are 33 to earn) should keep you playing for a while. The game is quite fun, with a pick-up-and-play feel derived from the relatively short levels. Many can be completed in less than a minute and few will take more than a couple of minutes. There is a great deal of content and enjoyment to be found here for the low price of $0.99. We give Funkyball Worlds our 5-Dimple rating.
Funkyball Worlds An Excellent Lengthy Platformer,

From Farm to Table: What Safe Food Means to One Child
World Health Day is April 7 and this year's focus is food safety. More than 200 diseases are caused by unsafe food containing harmful bacteria, parasites, viruses and chemical substances. Helping meet the physical needs of the children in our program, and of their communities, sometimes means having to find healthy food sources. Often, farm to table is the best solution possible. This is where little Borisut comes in. He is a sponsored child in Thailand's rural northern region. And we'd like you to hear his perspective on how farm-to-table living has benefited not only his family but also his entire community.Continue Reading ›

One Child Sponsorship Helps an Entire Family
Awany knew he would have to continue struggling to provide for the other three children and his wife; but he underestimated how much the Child Sponsorship Program would help his entire family.
Investing in a Good Harvest
Despite Martin's hard work and a good harvest, he remained unable to provide adequately for his family. With nearly every harvest he would lose all of his profit to the market money lenders from whom he buys his seeds and equipment.
The Planting Is So Very Good
Barring something totally unexpected, Sophie will never witness the harvest of the seeds she planted in Ecuador. But, she is no less invested in the outcome just because she may not see it in person.
Creating Sustenance in a Thirsty Land
Our staff saw an opportunity where many did not, and went all-out to prove that something good could come from thirsty soil.
A Microlending Leader Emerges: Yamsuk's Life After Sponsorship
"I am very proud to work alongside the villagers. I sacrifice myself, my knowledge and my time into the savings groups. All my work wasn't wasted. But it is growing and it can help poor villagers." — Yamsuk
Bearing Good Fruit
The ministry that Compassion does around the world is development. And, just as in farming, we do what we do for the outcomes—the fruit—not for the activities themselves. A farmer doesn't grow trees because it's good to grow trees; he grows trees in order to get the apples. At Compassion, we don't busy ourselves with activities, because the activities are good, but because we want to see an outcome of our labor—good fruit.

The 24-year-old, sidelined for the last eight matches due to an ankle ligament injury, was poised to return earlier but missed out last week through illness.
"Josh Walker is back training and we're delighted with that," manager Brian Laws told the club's official website.
"He'd been ill, but he's back now and is fighting for a spot in the side. He strengthens us at a time when the squad isn't the biggest."
Laws has also received a boost with regards to the fitness of another midfielder, Damien Mozika, and defender Christian Ribeiro, who have both been out with hamstring injuries sustained earlier this month.
"Damien and Christian are about a couple of weeks away and are progressing really well," Laws added.
"It would be nice to get them back over this next couple of weeks because we have a lot of games and our resources are stretched to the maximum."

Ajay-Sanjay's Son Of Sardar 4 days collection at Box Office
Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt and Sonakshi Sinha starrer has surpassed Rs 50 crore mark at the domestic collection centres in just four days. With this, the movie has broken the first weekend collection record of Ajay's previous release Bol Bachchan.
Son Of Sardar, which graced 2,000+ screens on November 13, opened to a fabulous response. The movie registered better occupancy in single screens across the country when compared to the footfalls in multiplexes. The movie raked in Rs 10.72 crore nett on the first day of its release. But it failed to beat the first day collection record of Bol Bachchan.
The remake of hit Telugu movie Maryada Ramanna showed a big jump in its business on Wednesday and its growth was more than 55% with its collection reaching Rs 16.21 crores nett. But its business dipped considerably on the following days that was due to busy working days for colleges and offices on Thursday and Friday. Son Of Sardar collected Rs 12.20 crores on the third day and Rs 13 crores on the fourth day.
However, Ajay Devgn's last movie Bol Bachchan had collected approximately Rs 40 crores in the first weekend. Whereas, his new release Son Of Sardar has raked in Rs 52.13 crores nett in four days. It has another two days to finish the first weekend. It will surely beat the first week collection record (Rs 67 crores) of Bol Bachchan in its first weekend.
Now the question is: Will it surpass Rs 100 crore mark in the opening weekend? Stay locked to this space to know about it.

If you can do better, submit your command here.
uhm.. this may sound stupid, but how do i get my (anyone elses) userid?
all facebook displays is a username (e.g. in my case 'drazraeltod') that doesn't seem to work
another question: why using lynx instead of wget or curl? did i miss something important?
ah.. forget the last part of the question...
i just found a friend without username and he has of course my id in his list :-)
We could use wget / curl. No problem. It's our choice. But don't forget to specify the user-agent. Facebook only accepts well-known user-agents...
i.e. if we use wget we should type this syntax:
wget -O - --user-agent='Opera' (...)
P.S. You could also find your uid just placing the mouse cursor on your profile avatar ;)
Only works if you have the "Public Search Results" checkbox checked, as it apparently makes all this info public.
*unchecks box* didn't know it did that. It certainly doesn't imply it's making all that info public. Gee, thanks, Facebook.
Dear Groxx,
This must has been changed on facebook 1-2 days before today, because in my previous tests I checked it with my own uid (that always had "public search results" box unchecked) and it always have worked well.
Today I try it one more time and this has changed :)
Anyway, as you sign "Facebook" on your post, thanks to you and all Facebook team for changin' this and to not categorize nevermore the friend list as PAI (Public Information Available), as you name it in Facebook privacy terms ;)
Oh, thanks for remove this:
"when it is viewed by people who are logged in to Facebook. Keep in mind, however, that because Friend List is publicly available, it will be visible to people who are viewing your profile while not logged in."
Best regards,
Online tool to view anyone?s Facebook friends list (hidden or not) based on a user ID: http://mathiasbynens.be/examples/facebook-friends
@vlan7: Groxx is not signing as "Facebook", but rather addressing them in the same manner as "Thanks for the lynx command, vlan7."
oh! I misunderstood Groxx :$ sorry, I'm not native english.
This seems to not work with users who have pages using other locales, eg. ru-ru.facebook.com or es-la.facebook.com
also, mathias, your online form has a bug, it always counts and shows Mark Zuckerberg's ID before listing the friends for the ID you choose.
Is there a way to get only online friends?
When I try this, facebook refuses it because I'm using lynx and, as you said, they only accept well-known user-agents... But I specified Opera as indicated, so I don't see what could be going wrong. Any idea what I should do?
I keep getting an error message when I try to run this. I am a total newbie and trying to learn here. I get "__a is not recognized as an internal etc.." What am I doing wrong?
Try this:
wget -O - --user-agent='Opera' 'http://www.facebook.com/ajax/typeahead_friends.php?u=7&__a=1' |gawk -F'\"t\":\"' -v RS='\",' 'RT{print $NF}' |grep -v '\"n\":\"' |cut -d, -f2
im a newbie how can i use this??
Vlan7, I keep getting the same mssage as RLCowboy along the lines of "__a is not recognized as an internal..."! I tried typing in just the facebook ajax typeahead address alone, but I only get something about 0 out of 0.
Do you have a different command that works? Any other ways I could try your original command differently using wget? I really want this to work! Please help, Vlan7! Thank you!
@DrAzraelTod: to get a number ID just try http://graph.facebook.com/USERNAME
Now, most of fb users have a username and fb doesn't show their ID...
And, regarding this link: is not showing hidden friends anymore :(
its possible

"Donji ?toj" Donji Stoj by JLBG
Donji Stoj Travel Guide: 6 reviews and 21 photos
I wanted to write a page about Stoj but it does not exist in VT location database and I had to share my tips between Donji ?toj and Gornji ?toj. Under Donji ?toj I have put Milena canal and ?toj plain. Under Gornji ?toj, the group of restaurants that stand by the bridge that leads to Ada Bojana.
On his first visit to Ulcinj, Prince Nikola of Montenegro learnt that children were dying from malaria because of the stagnant waters of Ulcinjsko Polje (Ulcinj's lake), in Albanian : Liqeni i Zogajve (Zogajve Lake). He ordered to drain the lake and allow water to flow out of the lake into the sea.
A 4.5 km long canal was dug in 1885, according to the designs of the Russian Vladimir Ivanovic-Varman, engineer of the court of Montenegro. Once the canal was dug, it appeared that the lake was lower than the sea and seawater flowed into the lake instead of the lake water flowing out to sea. Though the technical result was not what was expected, the health issue was finally solved, even better than expected : due to evaporation, the lake became so salty that it prevented mosquitoes that transmit malaria from breeding there. Less children died of malaria, and out of gratitude the local population named the canal after Princess Milena.
Salt works of Liqeni i Zogajve provide salt to the whole country.
Velika pla?a (the big beach) runs on almost 20 km, from Ulcinj to Ada Bojana. In Summer, it receives thousands of bathers. In the morning (about from 10 to 12 AM), the road is clogged by a huge traffic jam on the Ulcinj-Velica pla?a lane. If you go to Ulcinj from Ada Bojana, the road is free. It seems that bathers leave the beach very late, almost at dusk and between 7 and 9 PM, it is the Velica pla?a-Ulcinj lane that is clogged.

An interesting story of how the Russian 'reverse-engineered' solved the mosquito problem! Beautiful photos of the fishing huts and nets on the canal too!
Interesting tips. This new church looks impressive. I have never noticed tides at the Mideterranean seaside, I am less observant than you.
?toj is really a small place with nothing too special around, but cute anyway. Minor corrections: Ulcinsko Polje = Ulcinjsko Polje; Velica Plaza = Velika Pla?a.
Looks very peaceful - the area around the Milena canal and good fishing ground :-) seafood :-))) yam-yam :-)

New tyre regulations.
I wonder how much Brigestone and Ferrari paid Mosley to get that rule changed?Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
For that case, I wonder how much Michelin payed last year!!!!, look not changing tyres takes away from racing, plus it is not safe, as Kimi proved last season, your comment has no basis, just a cheap shot a Ferrari!
- 1 Reply to Juan
No not a cheap shot a valid comment. Why if it was a fair decicion were Bridgestone at the Meeting while Michelin were not invited. Also Ferrarri are one of the few teams to have signed up to the next concord. You my friend are obviosly a bigoted Farrari fan.
I an m not sure about paying anyone, but, for sure we will now be seeing ferrari leading the procession once again, anyone with bridgestone tyes is now happy. It was the same when they introduced refuelling, it was all done because the ever thirsty ferrari could not last the race, remember when they were always running out of fuel, easy solution, change the rules to suit the prancing horse. I think Paul Stoddard should be FIA president, I think he has a bit more experience about costs than mosley ever will.

Mary Burke's flawed plan for the state's surplus
In a recent interview, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke said that red wine was her favorite alcoholic drink — a bold statement, given that she is running for governor of a state built on barley and hops. (Burke quickly caught herself and parenthetically added, "we have so many great Wisconsin beers.")
Burke deserves credit for her honest answer — she is, after all, fighting off allegations of being an elitist, and the image of her sipping red wine by a fire doesn't exactly conjure the spirit of Norma Rae. But given her incongruous plan to deal with the state's nearly $1 billion budget surplus, one must wonder if Burke leaned a little too bit on Dionysus as a co-author.
Several days after Gov. Scott Walker detailed his surplus plan in the annual "state of the state" address, Burke authored a column in Crossroads, criticizing Walker's plan and offering one of her own. But Burke's plan exhibits the hallmarks of someone enjoying a bit too much of the grape and the grain; namely, hazy details, confusing logic and memory loss.
Burke rapped Walker's surplus plan, saying the governor is "spending money we don't have." But fully half of Walker's plan sends money back to taxpayers in the form of income and property tax cuts — it's not "spending" in any sense. Thus unveils the traditional liberal conceit; money is the government's until it decides how much of it you're allowed to keep. We are apparently all just walking government programs.
But Burke's demagoguery about "spending money we don't have" is especially hard to stomach given her past as commerce secretary in Gov. Jim Doyle's administration. During Doyle's eight-year tenure, Wisconsin's deficit, as figured by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, jumped from $1.9 billion to nearly $3 billion, an increase of 55%. Yet in the first full two years since Walker's first budget took effect, the deficit has dropped to $1.7 billion, nearly half of what it was when Walker took office.
It is actually impossible to characterize Doyle's administration in words other than "spending money we don't have." For example, over two budgets, Doyle shifted nearly $1 billion out of the state's transportation fund to prop up general spending, then issued debt to backfill the transportation hole. At the time, the Legislative Fiscal Bureau estimated that the debt service on these bonds would cost state taxpayers an extra $1.1 billion to pay off — all for a short-term cash grab.
It was budget gimmicks such as this that allowed Doyle and Burke to keep growing government despite falling revenues, leading to greater and greater deficits. Doyle was paying for a Dom Pérignon government with a Pabst Blue Ribbon income.
Burke's criticism of Walker for adding "$1.2 billion in debt" is equally laughable. Before Doyle took over, outstanding state debt from taxpayer-financed bonds totaled $4.5 billion; by 2010, that had ballooned to $9.9 billion; much of which helped paper over the state's huge deficits. (Much of this was due to the creation of "appropriation bonds," which fully funded the state's pension and sick leave liability.) But under Walker, total taxpayer-funded debt actually decreased last year — the first time in a decade.
And while it is laudable that Burke wants to deposit much of the new budget surplus in the state's rainy day fund, she was apparently disinterested when Doyle failed to do so for the first five years of his term. (In 2007, Doyle was forced by law to deposit $55.6 million in the fund, but he snatched that money back the very next year to fill another budget deficit.) On the other hand, if Walker's plan passes, the state will have set aside $379 million for budget emergencies, giving Wisconsin the soft cushion Doyle never provided.
Finally, in her column, Burke puzzlingly argues against Walker's property tax relief plan, complaining that it includes "businesses that would be better served by more families having the ability to buy their goods and services."
But wait — businesses are helped when people get to keep more of their money? Isn't that exactly what Walker's previous tax cuts and new proposal are meant to do? Under Walker's new plan, the typical homeowner will get a benefit of about $150. Under Burke's plan, much of that economic stimulus will be sitting in the state's rainy day fund, indifferent to the state's slow job gains.
Of course, no one knows whether Burke was enjoying a full-bodied cabernet as she sat at her keyboard crafting her plan. (If I were a drunk governor, my first law would be to grant everyone free half-microwaved burritos, and all my bills would begin with "why don't we hang out more?") But if she had, she could be forgiven — she wouldn't be the first person to drink to forget the Doyle years.

PTA believes all children deserve a quality arts education and encourages students to pursue artistic expression through participation in its annual arts Reflections Program. The program offers students the opportunity to create works of art for fun and recognition. Students in preschool through grade 12 are encouraged to create and submit works of art in six areas: dance choreography, film production, literature, musical composition, photography, and the visual arts (which includes art forms such as drawing, painting, print making, and collage). For more than 40 years, the program has encouraged millions of students across the nation and in American schools overseas to create works of art. The Reflections Program was started in 1969 by then Colorado PTA President Mary Lou Anderson.
Students participate in the Reflections Program by submitting entries to their local PTA.
