Corporate Advocacy Program™
FINANCIAL FACTS: Your lot rent will increase EVERY year without reason or justification. Each time the lot rent is increased the resale value of your property declines. Tenants who eventually realize their predictament must then move their property to another park (or private property) or fall prey to ridiculous rent increases every year. The only other option is to sell your property at a give away price.
POOR MANAGEMENT: Corporate and local. Although Sun Communities doesn't hesitate to boast about on-site management there are many parks plagued by frequent turnover and unqualified staff. Some parks DO NOT require management reside on the property. The incompetent stooges they frequently hire for park managers (and maintenance) don't have any similar experience,and are frequently fired within 4 to 8 months. The repeating cycle.
It is not uncommon for some communities to be without on site management for several months every year. In the event they happen to find someone with an average IQ, who exhibits a small degree of common sense, they will soon be corrupted by superiors at corporate who only have an interest in maximizing profits and ignoring complaints. You can be certain if there is a nuisance neighbor creating problems your rights to peace and quiet mean nothing. Sun Community policy is to ignore those who expect the rules to be enforced while acting like they care.
Park managers are PROHIBITED from responding to resident complaints in writing. They may issue a few meaningless "violation notices". Compliance is essentially voluntary. You will not find a ANY instance of a tenant being evicted for any reason other than failing to pay rent. Sun Communities is not going to engage in a costly legal process to evict a paying tenant for any reason, despite the problems they may be creating within the community. However, you can be certain the small minded managers (and maintenance personnel) will pester any resident who insists they do their job by issuing bogus infraction notices.
In other words: shut up and pay your rent. If you assert your rights as tenant, by complaining about rule violators and/or their incompetence YOU WILL BE HARASSED.
DO NOT rent any property from this organization unless you visit the location and speak with (at least) a dozen tenants. Determine how many managers they have had in the past two or three years. Examine the condition of the roads and properties. Do you hear any noisy cars or barking dogs? How many properties are not maintained. Every empty lot (and 4-sale sign) indicates a resident who came to their senses.
DO NOT allow yourself to become a hostage of Sun Communities.

CompuBox Stats: Dallas With Clear Edge Over Herrera
Mike Dallas had a 215-170 edge in total punches landed. Dallas outlanded Mauricio Herrera 111-56 over the last three rounds and landed more punches in six of ten rounds. Regardless, the judges handed Herrera ten round majority decision victory.
Justice was made. Finally the aggressor gets the win and not the runner, hugger, jabber that doesn´t hurt a fly.Comment by $BloodyNate$ on 06-25-2011
Not no robbery but a def gift because usually close fights like that go to the person with the most upside. Herrera better cash out now after 2 good wins.Comment by vacon04 on 06-25-2011
Yeah, I saw the fight and the ESPN statistics clearly showed that Dallas Jr won ... I in fact thought he won, but the referees were seeing other fight... I thought he won 96-94Comment by Spray_resistant on 06-25-2011

Anyway, for years I have wanted to get rid of my college books. I'm a speech language pathologist. I rarely look at the books. But I worry I will need to look back on something.

AHP - I responded to your post before seeing this thread! HA!
I have also donated a lot of books to the local public library, and have gone back in there and seen a lot of them on the shelves. That's kind of fun. I even once checked out one of my old books without realizing it until I got it home and started reading it!
I don't know about donating textbooks to the local public library - I don't know if they'd want them. But they DO have a "friends of the library" sale every year - a separate nonprofit organization collects books and sells them to raise money for the library. I might try giving them to that group, or maybe to a college library for their book sale.

Self-reliance and sustainability in the 21st century.
By Jeremy Marr
honeybee, project, planning, winter, Jeremy Marr
It's been bitterly cold in Michigan. The big blizzard has gone through and has left us with a bunch of snow.
But the forecast is looking good. They are saying it will get up into the upper 30's this Sunday. When it gets up above freezing during the day the sap starts flowing in the sugar maples. It's almost time to start tending the sugar bush.
My sugar bush planning is sadly lacking this year. I've been spending all of my pondering time on honeybees.
I've got good news! My outyard funding project has been successful, and it's well over the goal I set! Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed!
So I've been pouring over bee supply websites and looking for the best deals I can find on all the items I'll need for the project. I've been tallying all of the costs for the rewards that are built into the Kickstarter system too.
In a few weeks the ordering can begin. Then I'll be spending all of my time looking out the window for the delivery trucks.
I've decided to buy Langstroth hives for the outyard. They are the type of hive most people are familiar with. I'll be building some up for honey production, but most will be for my breeding project.
I'll need to get a decent amount of honey put up. I don't want to feed my bees sugar, so a supply will be kept in reserve.
I'm also trying to figure out the best way to mount a couple of cameras inside some hives. Bees don't see in infrared so I'm going to get a couple inexpensive web cams with infrared lights to record the inner workings of the hives. The trick will be keeping the bees from cementing them over with honeycomb and propolis.
At least I know I'll be keeping as busy as a bee this spring.

CVNMEF Launches Ad Buy on Methane Pollution
Today, Conservation Voters New Mexico Education Fund (CVNMEF) launched a digital ad buy in New Mexico thanking President Obama and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy for taking action to reduce dangerous methane pollution from the oil and gas industry. The digital ad campaign encourages the Obama administration to continue their work on combating dangerous methane pollution, and the climate change it helps to drive, by taking action to address all sources of methane pollution from the oil and gas industry. The ads can be found here.
Leaders must listen to community to build consensus on energy future
Plans for New Mexico's energy future include nuclear energy, but nuclear is part of the dirty energy problem – not the solution. Communities like Gallup and Church Rock, know all too well that the fuel life cycle of nuclear energy is far from clean. Abandoned mines and their radioactive waste left behind after the mining boom turned bust impact their lives daily. Read what CVNM Education Fund's Western New Mexico Organizer Talia Boyd has to say and stand in solidarity with fellow New Mexicans and urge our leaders to listen to communities as we plan for our energy future.

We had no intention on purchasing the cookware, only getting the free honeymoon and running. But upon seeing the cookware actually work, tasting the food, we decided to get the basic set-up. If I had only known the trouble this cookware would cause.
We recieved it fast enough, with the food saver containers and water purifier. The vacuum food savers seem to work well enough, but we never have leftovers in the fridge long enough to find out otherwise. The water purifier doesn't make too much of a difference in our drinking water but we still use it. The pots and pans are a different can of worms altogether.
We first used them for vegetables as was done in the demonstration. Prepped the pots according to the directions. Added a tablespoon of water like we were told. 10 minutes later, over low heat, we had a pot full of burned veggies. Cleaning that was NOT easy. After calling the company we were told they didn't have a cookbook out for gas stoves, but to lower the heat and they would send out a new cookbook.
A few days later we tried again, this time with meatballs because they had to cook longer. Had everything in the pot like I normally do, and set the temp to low on the stove. They normally take about half hour to 45 minutes to cook. We set up the pots like we were told in the directions so we'd hear the whistle. After 1 hour there was no whistle, there was condensation built up but no vacuum seal. We have yet to ever hear the pots whistle, and have burned many a meal.
Remember the cookbook they were supposed to send us that was specially designed for gas stoves? That was in the beginning of June. It is now December as I'm writing this, still no cookbook, no word ever again from the company.
Here we are, nearly half a year later, still paying for cookware that doesn't work. I can't complain to Equitable Acceptance, they only finance the cookware. Leaving messages with Simplicity didn't help as they never returned my calls. So now, because I never did my research, I'm paying on these pots for a long, long time...
I have, through much trial and error, gotten frozen veggies to cook rather well, but over $2000 for a pot to cook veggies in once in a while is definately not worth it.

#1 UPDATE Employee
Customer Support from Simplicity Gourmet
AUTHOR: Katie - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, February 12, 2009POSTED: Thursday, February 12, 2009
The cookware was demonstrated to this customer live and in person. None of our dealers do "sight unseen," "take our word for it" demonstrations. We cook for them, as this customer mentions, and they get to sample all the food that is prepared. Would it make sense that if she witnessed the cookware firsthand, working exactly as we advertise it to work, and she isn't having the same result, then there is something she is doing wrong? We are dedicated to helping her - I just need to be given that opportunity.
As for no returned calls, I'm not sure what number she's calling (If I knew, then I could identify who's customer she actually is), but it is not Simplicity Gourmet, LLC's customer service line at all b/c we always return all message that we receive promptly. She can call our customer service number anytime for help and to speak with me directly: 866-897-7676. We are here Monday - Thursday, 8:00 am - 6:00 pm, CST and Friday, 9:00 am - 5:00 pm, CST. If all representatives are assisting other customers, we do have voice mail and we check our messages every hour, on the hour and all calls left before 4:00 CST are returned the same business day.
She mentions in this email that the cs rep she previously spoke with told her we did not have a cookbook for "gas stoves" and then turned around and said we would send her another cookbook. This doesn't make much sense to me because we only have one cookbook, the cookbook that she received with her set. We don't have one specifically written for gas stoves, as she mentions that we informed her. However, the customer service representative should have let her know that the general rule of thumb for a gas stove is about half of the normal temperature. So, if a recipe says "Medium," in a gas stove, medium is going to be when the flame just touches the bottom of the pan but does not spill out from underneath (about a 3 or 4 on the knob) and "Low" is the lowest the flame will go and still be lit.
I have many, many recipes written for waterless cookware that I can email this customer. We also produce a blog that we post waterless cooking to several times a week (www.pinkapronpreview.com/blog). We have tons of resources for her to learn how to use her cookware - she just needs to contact the right place.
Of course, the first thing we need address is the part where she mentions her pans don't whistle. This is obviously not how they should work. I've been here for five years and have never had this happen, but I'm not above saying that we may need to replace her set if it's defective - which we are more than willing to do b/c it has a double lifetime warranty on it. Again, I would need her to contact me directly in order to get this resolved.
I do hope she contacts me very soon b/c I look forward to helping her get started off a bit better with some really helpful tools and information.

When Theresa McCarrie, known to friends as Teri, was seven years old, her life's ambition was to become a superhero. A commendable ambition, true, but a bit impractical for mere mortals. Therefore, not surprisingly, by her mid-twenties, Teri had settled into a conventional, albeit tedious, job at a bank. She dutifully heads to work, day after day, until one cold February morning, when she realizes that, due to a severe case of mind-numbing boredom, she's miserable working at the bank. It is at this low point in her life that her childhood superhero slips unnoticed into her cubicle. Dressed in a white sweatshirt with pink piping, matching sweatpants, floral-print high-top sneakers and a blue cape, he convinces Teri that all she needs to pull herself out of her slump is a change of vocation. And the new career? Newspaper reporter.
Teri immediately quits her bank job and looks for work in the exciting world of journalism, not an easy task considering she has neither a journalism degree nor any experience writing. But she perseveres and eventually finds herself at an interview for a position at a weekly newspaper, the Ravenwood Warbler. After surviving an interrogation by the intimidating editor of the Warbler, Matilda Barrington, Teri becomes an official guppy reporter. And, her first assignment? Covering the annual flower show at the new convention center. Sounds simple enough, so Teri heads off to interview Billy Wilson for her article, but what she doesn't count on is finding Billy, lying in a Japanese sand garden, dead.
Before running for help, Teri's journalism instincts kick in and she snaps two photos of Billy's body. A moment later, her guppy-reporter instincts return, sending her off, screaming for help, and into the arms of Philip Reardon, a handsome landscaper and volunteer at the flower show. When she and Philip return to the sand garden, they find several people gathered around Billy — Dr. Edgar Thackery, a botany professor at the local college; his secretary, Lenore Holtsby; Billy's co-worker, Mike Davencote; and Teri's new boss, Matilda Barrington. When Lenore spots a ladder lying near Billy, it's assumed he fell while working on the overhead lighting, hitting his head and killing himself. A terrible accident.
But after viewing her photos of the body, Teri is convinced that Billy's death wasn't an accident. She's sure he was murdered. And she's certain her photos are the key to solving the mystery, because, written in the sand, just above Billy's right shoulder, are the letters PR. Teri believes Billy wrote the letters as he lay dying and that they're the initials of his killer. Unfortunately, the only person she can think of with the initials PR is Philip Reardon.
Her quest to determine Philip's guilt or innocence sends Teri down a road filled with twists and turns. She quickly finds herself sharing the road with her guppy-eating, ambitious co-worker, Arthur Gavon, whose first-hand knowledge of Billy's stories about pink diamonds smuggled from Australia might just be another piece of the puzzle.
Her determination to prove Philip's innocence and Arthur's obsession to scoop the big story send Teri and Arthur to a Chesapeake Bay marina where she finally learns the truth behind Billy Wilson's murder. But, as Teri sinks into the depths of the Chesapeake Bay, a bullet in her right shoulder, only one question remains. Will her very own superhero come to her rescue or will she take the truth to her grave?

Corporate Advocacy Program™
A few months later I continued hearing the noise more and I brought it in for service. After thorough diagnosis, they found a bad drive shaft and transmission, both needing to be completely replaced. I was furious that a new car had a faulty transmission and drive shaft. I told them I would contact Nissan and that I wanted out of this car because I did not trust the quality of its manufacturing. Capitol City had the audacity to accuse me of damaging my own drive shaft and transmission even though the noise was apparent at the time of purchase. Capitol City also threatened me about getting Nissan involved with a buy-back option stating they would uncover abuse and my car would not be covered under warranty and they wouldn't buy it back. In this case I would lose out both ways because at the moment Capitol City was willing to fix anything under warranty. However, if Nissan examined the car they would determine it not to be warrantable and that due to abuse I would have no solution than to pay for repairs.
The entire Capitol City staff from sales to service and management is entirely arrogant, condescending and abusive to their customers. They assume no responsibility for replacing my vehicle and even yelled at me for contacting Nissan Consumer Affairs. This dealership is unacceptable and operating without integrity.
Capitol City is currently fixing my vehicle and I am awaiting Nissan's response to taking my car back.

Today I officially retired from music. Thank you for the love.

Today I officially retired from music. Thank you for the love.
— LLCOOLJ. (@llcoolj) March 14, 2016
When you think of LL Cool J these days, you think of him as the star of NCIS: LA or the host of The Grammys and Lip Sync Battle. Way before all of this, he was a rap star who sang Mama Said Knock You Out and Going Back to Cali in the late '80s and early '90s.
I guess he has still been releasing music since then because today he took to Twitter to announce that he is retiring from music. Now I have to ask you, did you know he was still doing music? I know I didn't. Now, if he retired from acting or hosting, I would think that was a bigger deal.
How are you taking his retirement from music?
Believe it or not Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody is 40 years old, so The Guardian decided to re-imagine the legendary tune with classic styles. They had the song interpreted with a ballet dance routine, a boy's choir with heavenly voices and a string quartet composed of four women who gave it their all. Not since Wayne's World has this song, that can unite people, been given the justice it deserves. So sit back and let this version send shivers down your spine.
Anyway the wind blows
Ever since 1972, people have been wondering who Carly Simon's You're So Vain is about, and after 43 years she finally named a name. She told People that the second verse is about…Warren Beatty. It has long been rumored that the tune is about him, and now we know a verse is indeed about the former lady killer.
Will she ever name the other two men, she simply told the magazine, "I don't know if I'll do it. I never thought I would admit that it was more than one person!"
Many have speculated that the song could also possibly be about another one of her former-lovers, Mick Jagger, but now we have a third name to contend with. Who is it? We might never know. But then again we never thought she would confirm any of the names that the single was written about.
Ever wonder what songs put you in a really good mood? Well Dr Jacob Jolij, an expert in cognitive neuroscience and emotion at Holland's University of Groningen, did a study to find out which songs put people in a good mood and he discovered these are the Top 10 songs that have done over the last fifty year in Ireland according to Sunday World. I think we call all agree all but Billy Joel's Uptown Girl are the International happiest songs.
So sing the titles of all of those songs and don't tell me you aren't walking on sunshine when are done singing them all!
1. Don't Stop Me Now (Queen) 1978
2. Eye of the Tiger (Survivor) 1982

British singer-songwriter, entertainer, and television presenter Jamelia is set to switch gears to the professional dancing world as it was revealed that she will be appearing on the popular British show Strictly Come Dancing. The programme, which has mainly brought in talent from the sporting and acting world previously, is keen to get more entertainers involved like Jamelia. She is known for her successful music career which has seen her achieve eight top-ten singles and three accomplished studio albums. During this time, she earnt four MOBO Awards, a Q Award and nine BRIT Award nominations. She is expected to appear on the show later this year and is quite from her role on Loose Women; she has regularly appeared alongside other female presenters to give comment on topical news items and to interview celebrity guests.
It was thought previously that Jamelia may appear in I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Which, in fact, airs at around the same time as Strictly Come Dancing. The star was rumoured to be appearing on the next series airing in November, as she was seen as an ideal contestant due to having previously been on the Bear Grylls series, Mission Survive. The latter entertaining programme followed eight celebrities on a twelve-day survival mission in harsh environments. The latest season saw her finish in fourth place, but even after this performance, she chose to move away from survival shows to become involved in a show that revolves around performance, something that Jamelia has shown an expertise in.
As well as her successful stints in entertainment programming, she's manage to make a name for herself in the independent film world, bagging acting roles in movies such as Jericho's Walls Are Falling
and Magic boys, demonstrating another addition to her talents.
Jamelia started her career early when she was signed to a record label straight out of school at the age of just fifteen. Her music career took off in 1999 when she released her first single So High and later her debut album 'Drama' in June 2000. She is best known for her smash hits Superstar and Thank You, both of which charted at third and second place respectively in the UK Singles Chart. Superstar also went on to chart at No.1 in Australia and eventually went platinum. In 2010, after having made three albums, she decided to sign a new record deal with the label All Around the World Productions.
Jamelia's success and popularity has led her to achieve some high-up roles in entertainment programmes, such as becoming a judge on the programme Move Like Michael Jackson. She has also earned her place in three TV documentaries, presenting two on BBC Three entitled Jamelia: Whose Hair Is It Anyway and Jamelia: Shame about Single Mums, as well as featuring in Channel 4's The House That Made Me. Through these programmes, she acts to inform the general public about issues that concern many of the public.
Jamelia is also very involved in charity and has helped raise £40,000 with the Princes Trust for disadvantaged young people. As an ambassador for the charity, she also acts to offer her support through public appearances on behalf of the Trust. Jamelia has been described as having demonstrated confidence and motivation throughout her career, values that the charity hope to impart to young people needing their help. She has been a highly influential figure in Birmingham, the city where she was born, as well as the rest of the English Midlands.
Jamelia receives bookings for numerous speaking engagements and appearances through the global booking agency MN2S. If you would like to book Jamelia for a presenting role, a corporate engagement or an entertainment event, contact the MN2S booking agency here.

Mississippi College School of Law is an American Bar Association accredited law school and is the only law school in Jackson, Mississippi. The school is a professional school of Mississippi College, founded in 1826. It is also colloquially referred to as MC Law, or MC Law School.
The law school was founded in 1930 as the Jackson School of Law. In 1975, the law school was acquired by Mississippi College. In 1980, subsequent to the merger between Mississippi College and the law school, MC Law gained full ABA accreditation.[2] MC Law is one of two law schools in the state of Mississippi, and the only law school in the capital, Jackson. MC Law is a member of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS).
The Mississippi College School of Law is located in the heart of the historic sector of downtown Jackson, within walking distance of City Hall, the Mississippi Supreme Court, the Federal District Courts, the Governor's Mansion, and a number of government and private law firm offices.
In December 2005, MC Law completed a massive construction and renovation project, which more than doubled the size of the original campus. A new classroom building was added along with an auditorium building. The Law Library occupies three floors in the Law School's West Wing, and contains one of the largest Mississippi collections of legal books, journals and microforms including statutes, court reports, digests, encyclopedias, treatises, loose-leaf services, periodicals and government documents. Beginning in 2013, the Law Library is also the repository of the Mississippi Legislature's video archive footage. The main campus for Mississippi College is located about 30 miles to the west in Clinton, Mississippi.
The 2014 entering class had an enrollment of 151, with an LSAT median of 147 and a median GPA of 3.10. The average age at enrollment is 26, though the age range was 20-57. 53 colleges and universities are represented, along with 26 states, and 41 majors.
In addition to offering courses in common law, Mississippi College School of Law also offers a certificate in Louisiana Civil Law, which prepares the recipient for practice in the state of Louisiana by offering courses such as Successions and Donations, Obligations, Louisiana Civil Procedure, and Civil Law Property. MC Law is one of the only law schools to offer Civil Law training in addition to its Common Law curriculum.[3]
MC Law has more than 25 full-time faculty members that offer expertise in all major disciplines of law, with more than 20% of the faculty holding a PhD or equivalent degree, and more than 50% of the faculty with an LLM or Masters in a specialized field.[4] The Law School provides one of the only national certificate programs for Civil Law training, and hosts six centers, the Mississippi College Law Review, and one of the leading Moot Court programs in the nation. The Law School also offers a robust externship program with more than 50 students at any one time placed in externships, and more than 85% of MC Law students completing an externship or working part-time in the legal field prior to graduation. In addition, since 2010, the Law School offers a one-year LL.M. degree in U.S. legal studies for students holding law degrees from foreign law programs. In 2012, MC Law students posted the highest bar passage statistics in the state of Mississippi, with a higher than 83% first time passage rate.
In addition, each summer, MC Law offers students study abroad programs in France, Germany, Mexico, and South Korea.
According to MC Law's official 2014 ABA-required disclosures, 72.0% of the Class of 2014 obtained full-time, long-term, JD-required employment nine months after graduation.[5]

The curtain rises Tuesday on a new era of
Republican dominance in Mississippi.
House and Senate members will be sworn in at noon, with Lt. Gov.-elect Tate Reeves and other statewide officers taking their oaths Thursday. Finally, Phil Bryant will be sworn in as
Mississippi's 64th governor Jan. 10.
The biggest change is the GOP takeover of the House. Some Democrats say they are unlikely to oppose Clinton Republican Philip Gunn's bid to lead the House.
The 2012 session, at the start of a four-year term, lasts for 120 days. That's longer than the 90-day sessions that will follow in the next three years.
The extra time may be welcomed by an unusually large crop of new lawmakers, including 32 new House members and 15 new senators.

This year there were some internal issues with Student Judicial Program
Noise violations could really use some work.
Academic honesty is taken very seriously.
This campus isn't really strict, just don't do things that will be unacceptable in the real world and you'll be fine.
The administration generally understands student concerns well, and acts accordingly. I feel that they have our best interest in mind most of the time, however sometimes decisions are made that are more political in nature than what is really good for the student body.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
For the most part, Rice students are very pleased with the relationship between the campus police and the student body. The prevailing attitude is that campus police (known as RUPD) are there for student protection and their well-being. Students admit that RUPD has no tolerance for drug abuse. However, drug usage is not a large problem at Rice, and most students believe that hard drug offenders deserve whatever they get. The same attitude is taken regarding cheating on graded work or exams. Rice students are shaped by the values of the Rice Honor Code and usually agree with any disciplinary actions taken against cheaters.
The Rice alcohol policy allows students to drink on campus, including underage students, as long as they keep it behind closed doors in the atmosphere of a "private party." Because students recognize the alcohol policy as a privilege that can be lost if not handled responsibly, they usually take care of each other and monitor their friends' intake. The police care first about the safety of the students, and they are not out looking to bust underage drinkers. In fact, the only chance an underage drinker has of getting in trouble at Rice is if they blatantly violate the alcohol policy (e.g., drinking at a public party or at the pub), and they proceed to call attention to themselves or behave belligerently.

On September 3 as drizzle gave way to early morning sun, ex- President Fidel Castro, "Commander of the Cuban Revolution," discussed the threat of worldwide war. His mostly student audience heard him speaking from the top of stairs leading to the University of Havana where Castro himself enrolled 65 years ago on September 4, 1945.
Castro had not spoken publically for four years, except for remarks August 7 before the National Assembly. Receiving the occasional visitor, Castro remained in seclusion following his illness and leaving the presidency in July 2006. From March 28, 2007 on, however, he has written 346 "Reflections of Fidel." for Cuba's press and for worldwide Internet dissemination. Two months ago he began reappearing in public.
This time, Castro, dressed in olive green military attire, marshaled evidence pointing to imminent threat to human survival. Prensa Latina reported on his "unleashing the battle for life, against war and for peace, against imperial designs and for ideals of generosity and solidarity and above all, for protecting humankind from a nuclear catastrophe with unforeseen consequences."
Elaborating on a theme he's pursued in writing over three months, Castro warned of conflict between Iran, intent upon developing nuclear power capabilities, and nations headed by the United States that on June 9 induced the UN Security Council to pass a resolution requiring Iran to curtail uranium enrichment and reprocessing. Sanctions would take effect once the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency signals Iranian noncompliance, on September 9 or later. Castro predicted searches of ships carrying banned materials would provoke Iran into blocking the Strait of Hormuz thereby choking off 45 percent of the world's oil supply. Israeli bombing raids against Iranian nuclear facilities might follow.
"Iranian capabilities of conventional [military] response would provoke a ferocious war, Castro asserted, "whose control would escape from the hands of the warring parties, a situation that would turn inexorably into a global nuclear conflict." The time is short, he warned: "I am forced, modestly, to reveal to an unsuspecting world the terrible dangers that threaten human life on our planet."
Castro quoted from technical experts, news reports, government communiqués, and a "citizen of Our America" commenting on the CubaDebate web site. The latter observed: "We need to live in peace and security on a planet that each day becomes less habitable...Nuclear arms must disappear, no country ought to possess them, atomic energy must be used for what is good. The only true victory is in winning peace."
The electronic correspondent cited the twin challenges of world peace - "no violence against any human being, country or nation" - and of climate change; "We can not turn our back on nature." Kyoto signifies hope, he wrote.
Castro quoted, "We must eliminate all that which makes man [and women] see the other as his or her enemy. Without any possibility of error I say peace will be achieved with peace, and if you want peace, prepare to change your consciousness."
Castro himself concluded that, "This reality is deliberately hidden from the world and the hard task of warning humankind of real danger falls upon Cuba." He confessed to amazement that "a tiny country like Cuba sees itself obliged to carry the weight of struggle against those that have globalized and subjected the world to inconceivable plunder and has imposed a system that today threatens the very survival of humankind."
Earlier Castro had recounted Spanish soldiers' slaughter of university students on the steps from which he spoke. He recalled colonizers' "brute force" manifested during the independence wars and lamented U. S. "plundering of our people." We are here today, he explained, because "the revolution put an end to these horrors."
He praised today's students as "incomparably more cultured, freer, and more conscious" than his own student contemporaries. He commended "the moral support you are offering in this struggle for peace" "Victory is possible!" he declared. Afterwards, students speaking to a reporter welcomed inclusion in the struggle, admired his passion, and were gratified at his speaking to them.
The episode elicited recall by the present writer of picking up a New York Times in 1957 reverberating with the headline, "Castro is still alive and still fighting in the mountains." Reporter Herbert Matthews had trekked into the Sierra Maestra mountains, interviewed Castro (advertised as dead by the Batista dictatorship), and fashioned a three-part series on an insurgency capturing the imagination of young people all over. His story began with words fit for recycling: "Fidel Castro, the rebel leader of Cuba's youth, is alive and fighting hard..."

After discussing this and doing what I thought was appropriate research, I decided to go with the lower loan amount and lower interest rate. I received a fax of loan documents that look very legitamate, signed them and faxed them back.
I wired the money on (you guess it) Friday the 13th. It was late in the evening so I didn't think the deposit would be made until Monday morning. I called the company numerous times on Monday and was waiting for a call back. I sent faxes, I sent emails. It didn't hit me until Wednesday that my money was gone. I was hopeful that things would resolve themselves.
I called the police, attorney general, and better business bureau. That is when the police directed me to this site. I was so desparate that I didn't do the amount of research that I should have. Now things are even worse. I felt awful, didn't even know where to start. Lesson learned the hard way!

I have used AutoCad years ago and it use to have the ability to set the grid to a specific interval ie. 0.0625, 0.03125, 0.5, etc.
Is there a way in QCad to accomplish this beside the standard 0.1, 0.01, AUTO, etc. in the DRAWING PREFERENCES menu?

Worth the money
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
If your serious about outdoor activities and want to stay comfortable all day, these are totally worth it. I've tried other brands and alway come back to these.
Comfy and stank free
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
These suckers are COMFY. I've worn them for about 500 miles of hiking over the past 6 months and have not had any issues. They seem to be holding up pretty well. No excessive stretch in the waistband or holes in the material, and NO stank. VERY expensive (= 4 stars vs 5), but have been the best boxers for hiking, etc that I've purchased so far.
Luxury Briefs
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
Stays dry and feels great against your skin. One of the better functions I found was that this brief doesn't ride up nearly as much as most do.
I only noticed the smaller waist band after putting them on, which makes it semi loose fitting and feels to me like it will slide off.
I am a size 33 waist and the medium fits well enough.
Best Boxers
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Large
Man these things are awesome! I am a very active guy and need underwear that breaths and holds my manhood stationary. This merino wool works so well. I got these on sale so you can find them for a little cheaper if you wait.
These Are Great
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Small
I'll start by saying $50 for one pair is crazy, but it was worth it for me to get a few pairs on sale. They stay dry, they don't lose their shape, they don't smell, and they are comfortable most importantly - more so after many days of use than anything else I've worn. They are very thin material which makes them very comfortable, but they will not last a long time because of that. Performance is five stars, I knock one star because of the high price for something that is not designed to last that long.

Accentia has negotiated exclusive, worldwide rights to acquire Baxter's cyclophosphamide drug, which is marketed as Cytoxan®. Cyclophosphamide is the active ingredient in Accentia's Phase III-stage Revimmune™ therapy for the treatment of a broad range of autommune diseases including multiple sclerosis.
The deal with Baxter also gives Accentia the right to reference Baxter's cyclophosphamide dataset for use in the development of Revimmune. The firm will also purchase cyclophosphamide from Baxter. "We believe that the exclusive rights to purchase Cytoxan for designated indications and the ability to reference Baxter's data related to cyclophosphamide not only assures that Accentia will have access to the highest quality supply of cyclophosphamide, but also facilitates Accentia's regulatory strategy and reinforces its marketing position," remarks Samuel S. Duffey, Accentia president. "With this agreement in place, we are planning a robust clinical and regulatory development strategy to advance our mission to establish Revimmune as a new standard of care treatment for patients suffering from autoimmune diseases, including orphan indications with potential accelerated regulatory pathways as well as major indications such as multiple sclerosis."
Revimmune exploits cyclophosphamide through ultrahigh-dose, pulsed administration that Accentia believes is capable of "rebooting" a patient's immune system. The treatment is thought to act by completely eliminating mature lymphocytes throughout the body while selectively sparing immune stem cells in the bone marrow, the firm adds. Accentia's majority-owned subsidiary, Biovest International, is separately developing Revimmune for the treatment and prevention of transplant rejection including bone marrow transplants for sickle cell anemia.
Accentia has licensed the Revimmune technology from its original developers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. The Johns Hopkins researchers have previously published encouraging results from a two-year study evaluating Revimmune in the treatment of aggressive relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, the firm points out. In addition to multiple sclerosis, Johns Hopkins scientists have successfully treated a range of autoimmune diseases in preliminary case studies.

Our physical organs (and this cannot be too often repeated) are animal forces, which will quite naturally obey a man who is prepared to command them. They are there to serve him, not to enslave him. But the ego is so lazy that it makes him quite glad to abdicate this power in return for the secret satisfaction of pitying his own sufferings, or attracting attention to his pathetic case. Most of our pathological conditions are aggravated by this unconfessed indulgence. The same applies to our personal dramas and daily worries; we should have the courage to admit that they feed largely on the pity of others, and on our own. In most cases, what would be left of them if we passed them over in total silence?

Other animals give us a lesson in self-control: the cat, for instance, whose wisdom is a model because it combines the most intent passion with the calmest indifference. Motionless it plans its leap, and performs it exactly; the strength of its muscles is matched by its relaxation in repose; in sleep it has the abandon of an infant, yet its instinct is ever alert; it can fall without danger because it does not resist; hunting and fighting are games of pure pleasure for it, it hunts with rancor and plays without an object; it is ever ready to attack without animosity, and to defend itself without apprehension; being indifferent to victory, it cannot feel defeat.
Serenity comes from independence.
This independence, to be created in oneself, is not indifference, but neutrality with regard to the impressions received from without – whether pretty or ugly, good or bad, happy or sad, pleasant or unpleasant. It is one thing to observe these qualities and quite another to let them affect our moods.

The obstacles to the growth of intuitive knowledge are:
• Eagerness for results • Use of the imagination, whether intellectually or emotionally • Intrusion of irrelevant thoughts during meditation • Ingratitude and skepticism when intuitive perceptions cannot yet be understood intellectually • Self-complacency and unwillingness to confess mistakes

If you want to know why and how reincarnation happens, let us make an experiment. Lie down, and see that the body, and above all the nerves, are completely relaxed. Then repeat, slowly and with attention, these words, trying as you do so to convince yourself that they are entirely true; "I abandon here and now all worry, all preoccupations, all personal will . . . I wash away all grief and regret, all spite and vengeance....I give up all personal love, all plans, all longings, and all hopes for earthly things."
If you really try to be sincere in making these assertions, I defy you to speak the words without misgivings. Certain flame-hot fibers will revolt in you, will refuse such a surrender and contradict any such undertaking. Those are the threads that will drag you back to earth. Inevitably!
Spiritual states have nothing in common with your memories, or with the imaginings and intellectual interests of your earthly being; but those memories impress their emotional attraction upon your Ego-consciousness, and this prevents its liberation and causes you to return to earthly existence, by attraction, by the yearning for completeness. This is one of the most important aspects of the law of karma.

The light that the sun casts on the planets is the same for all, but each planet reflects it according to its own color, and the radiation that it returns is determined by its constitution. In this inevitable diversity of color there is no treachery or false transmission, but it does explain why no teacher, however great, can all himself the sole possessor of the Truth. He can only teach according to the type and "color" of his own soul, and to his capacity for faithful representation. Beyond this limit he would be exceeding or misdirecting his mission, and adding a heavy responsibility to his burden of karma.

What matters is not to apply a definition but to observe the characteristic signs of a disposition allotted by destiny or achieved by effort. Among such symptoms are the tendency to sympathize with the sufferings of others, not in a sense of pity, but by opening the heart so that its radiation, without selection or discrimination, acts by itself as a balm of impersonal healing. Other signs are material and spiritual generosity, as opposed to avarice and envy; the feeling of awareness of solidarity; an effective sense of responsibility; and the acceptance of all that makes for simplicity of thought and feeling, looking at all times for the essential point and rejecting perfunctory opinions and fashionable prejudices.

The first stage in taking control of the Automaton is to stop the tyranny of habit and the waste of vital force. Vital force is precious and should not be expended thoughtlessly. One can economize it by avoiding futile talk and argument, useless preoccupations, and unnecessary violent movements. Actions should be carefully watched to prevent their becoming automatic, and one should have the courage to alter one's way of doing them temporarily and from time to time. The limbs should be trained to independent movement, so they can perform different actions simultaneously.

To arouse oneself from the state of sleep and take the first step toward liberation, one must attain a thorough understanding of the meaning of the Permanent Witness (or Ego-Consciousness) and see in that it differs from mere brain-consciousness.
We shall then be able to understand hoe this personal conscience, though it needs to be awakened, is nevertheless a part of Personality whose aims are in general opposed to those of the Spiritual Self.
The Personality wants:
• Continuity on earth • The relative values of this temporary existence • Intellectual information put at the service of worldly interests (a social, scientific, or commercial career) • Mediocrity – since rash extremes can never expect to win public approval and gain social and worldly advantage • Utilitarianism, meaning everything that fits in with mundane computation and logical reason
The Spiritual Witness on the other hand, desires:
• To unite with the human and thus transmute it into an immortal being • Absolute values which are indestructible • To open the "heart" to intuitive knowledge • The sense of excess, as a springboard from which to overleap human limitations and convert the fall of man into an opportunity of evolution • Unalterable love of reality • Love of life for its own sake • Love of impersonal Love
Source: Opening of the Way: A Practical Guide to the Wisdom of Ancient Egypt, Pages: 44
Not even the best teacher can present one with consciousness, or fill one with knowledge; but in a man suitably disposed it is possible to arouse reactions which will lead in the right direction.
Often it is useful to prepare the ground by clarifying essential ideas in order to get rid of prejudices. But the most effective instruction is that which leads the seeker to put his problems clearly to himself so that then he can find he answer for himself in meditation.
Source: Opening of the Way: A Practical Guide to the Wisdom of Ancient Egypt, Pages: 67
Many are those who project their imaginings outside themselves and create gods "in their own image and likeness." The powers they would adore are those that can grant them all the boons they yearn for in this world and the next. They are answered by Christ's word: "Ye know not what ye ask" (Mark 10:38).
Their wish is for an idol to protect and favor them, or else for a divine being who can be loved possessively. But the paradises, like gods, are made by men according to their desires, and their misfortune will be that they will often find what they have imagined. But what we can imagine is no part of the inexpressible Divine.

Coast Guard airlifts woman from cruise ship
SAN DIEGO - A Coast Guard helicopter crew airlifted a 76-year-old woman from a cruise ship Saturday after she complained of severe pain from a fractured pelvis, an official said.
The woman was taken from the ship Carnival Pride, which was about 250 miles south of San Diego, at about 1:45 p.m., Petty Officer 1st Class Steve Howell said.
She was brought to San Diego for transport by ambulance to a hospital, Howell said. The woman broke her pelvis yesterday, Howell said.
The ship was heading to Long Beach when the Coast Guard was called, Howell said.
