Can you define these popular missing words?
A fish sometimes called a seatrout; found in salt water coastal areas along the Eastern U.S. seaboard. Look sort of like a trout but definately a salt water fish; called weakfish because when hooked and reeling in for a catch, if you tug TOO hard with your fishing line, you can break its' weak jaw, and therefore loose the fish.
Let's go fishing for weaks; (often hear near marinas along the Long Island Sound shore)

On December 4, 2006 I received a call from a telemarketer saying that they would like to talk to me about a magazine subscription.
The telemarketer told me that this is not a sales call and that they would like to just ask me a couple of questions. I said, ?Ok?, and she continued on. She asked me a couple of questions and I answered them (I don't remember what the questions were specifically).
She told me that I had a free gift on my way and that she would transfer me over to the gift department. I was then transferred over to the gift department and was greeted by another female.
She asked me if I would like a diamond studded female or male watch for my free gift. I proceeded to say that I would like the male version.
She went on after saying ok that I have a magazine subscription coming to me free, and that they would cover the $4.95 charge to send it to me. I said that would be fine, and she went on to verify my address and I confirmed it.
After confirming it, she went on to ask me if there was a middle initial on my credit card and I said that there was a ?C? for my middle initial. She then proceeded to ask me what the expiration date on my card was and I told her the expiration date.
She then asked me to confirm my credit card number and I read it off to her. She said ?Great?, and proceeded to tell me that I would be enrolled in a 5 year magazine subscription with a monthly payment of $9.95.
That was when it clicked on in my head that I was being scammed. She proceeded to tell me that the initial charge for three months of subscription would come to $79.80.
After she told me this, I asked her how I got enrolled in a magazine subscription since they were a Magazine Renewal Company. She told me that a lot of subscriptions get passed off to them to get renewed.
I have never bought any magazine subscriptions in my life and I knew that she was lying to me. I told her that I don't read magazines and never have bought any subscription. She said, well you have never read Maxim, or ESPN Magazine?
I replied, ?No?, and she just said, ?Oh?. She went on to state that I would love these magazines and I replied with, ?I don't want any magazine subscriptions?. She said, ?Well we can enroll you in a 3 magazine program instead of the 5 magazine program for cheaper?.
I still did not want it, so I told her, ?I don't want any magazine subscriptions, and I will never buy any magazine subscriptions?. She said, ?Ok, well then we will just hold this off for later?.
I told her that was fine and she told me to have a good day and I said the same. After I got home from work at 12:30AM on December 5th, 2006 I checked my bank account online. It showed an amount of $-42.58.
I proceeded to check my account activity to find that the full amount of $79.80 was charged to my card after stating that I did not want the subscription.
What I have done as of 2:18AM on December 5th, 2006 is I have notified my bank of a fraudulent charge to my account and that I would like a new debit card with a new number on it.
I did this because I have found others online that have been scammed out of money and that Millennium Marketing or Magazine Source sell all of their ?customers? information to other companies.
When I wake up in the morning of December 5th, 2006 I will call Millennium Marketing or Magazine Source asking them to drop the charge of $79.80 or to refund it, seeing as that I did not ask for a magazine subscription.
If the company does not drop the charge of $79.80 or reimburse me the full $79.80 I would like the Attorney Generals office to work with a lawyer to get my full amount back, including any charges made to my account from my bank due to the negative amount of money in my bank account.
Thank you for your time.
This company is bad, don't talk to them, any magazine company for that matter. Don't ever give ANY information out. I learned the hard way, but never again.

Coolpix recommendation for kid
My 10 year old son is interested in photography and I want to give him his first camera so that he can take in a trip we are taking soon. I don't want to spend a lot of money as I am still not sure how much he will use it. Reviews for the cheaper coolpix in Amazon are very mix, 50% of people seem to have lots of troubles with them. I am leaning towards the L26. Any recommendations?
#1. "RE: Coolpix recommendation for kid" | In response to Reply # 0Covey22 Charter MemberFri 20-Jul-12 01:30 PM
Any of the L-series is a good starter camera for young photographers. After years of my daughter wanting one of her own, she was old enough and mature enough to get an L-22 for the Holidays.
Things that are good about the L-series. Some of them are cheap enough that you could buy two. They have enough modes (mostly Scene-based) to make it interesting and flexible for a young person experimenting with photo-taking, but convenient enough that they can press the shutter and get good results without too much forethought or learning. (We all know how much kids like to read manuals - the instant-instant gratification generation as I like to tease them).
Not-so-good things: Well, they're not so good for hobbyists or purists, but L-series and even the S-series have the typical P&S characteristics - shutter-lag, not-so-great IQ at higher ISO settings, not a deep control set.
Overall, it's not a bad camera for them to start with. What will be the challenge is to teach them a workflow - download & process. They will fill up the card(s), not cull for the keepers, then complain when they're out of space at a critical moment.
#2. "RE: Coolpix recommendation for kid" | In response to Reply # 1mariananikon Registered since 19th Jul 2012Fri 20-Jul-12 04:24 PM
Thank you! I will try to go with one in the L series. Yes, the workflow worries me, as I think the first few weeks the cards will fill daily with pictures of everything he sees....hopefully he will soon develop a more critical eye! but it is fun to see the photography bug in him!
thanks again!

Two new fire engines are in the bays of Ashland Fire & Rescue, each weighing in at more than 53,000 pounds and carrying a $1.15 million total price tag.
The engines, units 8801 and 8802, will replace engines that were purchased in the early 1990s. The new units, purchased with dollars from the City of Ashland's equipment fund, will be the first trucks sent to fire calls and are expected to last for 20 years, officials said.
The old engines' reliability had decreased recently, meaning more maintenance and more days out of service.
The vehicles are Type 1 Pierce fire engines. They each carry 750 gallons of water and run on 500 horsepower engines. They respond to fires, vehicle crashes and some medical calls, officials said.

Skip to comments.Clausewitz: Master of War
Posted on 05/21/2011 8:13:10 PM PDT by neverdem
Im busy reading final papers for the grand strategy seminar at Bard this spring, and the students are finishing up their exams and thinking about summer. Its already time to start reading and thinking about the syllabus for the fall course in Anglo-American grand strategy. British and American strategic thinkers and policy makers developed a new form of global strategy in the last 300 years that enabled the two English speaking powers to build a global political and security order resting on a foundation of liberal capitalism. Understanding the grand strategy that shaped the modern world is surely something that students everywhere should learn about, but I think the Bard course is one of only a handful that tries to prepare students to think systematically about these power realities in the contemporary world.
But the reading that looms over these final weeks of the spring course comes out of European rather than Atlantic grand strategy. Weve been reading and reflecting on Carl Phillipp Gottfried von Clausewitz. Clausewitzs unfinished masterpiece On War stands out as perhaps the greatest work of strategic thought human reflection has yet produced. Coming as it does in both the Yale and the Bard curricula after a series of other classics going back to Sun Tzu, Clausewitzs treatment, even in its somewhat muddled state, stands out as the most comprehensive and clear cut statement on a host of vital topics connected to power and to war.
Carl von Clausewitz (Source: Wikimedia Commons)
It belongs on that short list of classics that serious people should read and reread during their lives, but it is one of many classics that our culture neglects. Our somewhat PC and namby-pamby age generally puts works like On War somewhere back in the stacks hoping perhaps that if nobody thinks about war there wont be any. There is also a certain feeling that a book this blunt and power focused should not be part of a liberal arts curriculum.
This is idiocy. War is in some ways the most human of activities: it is about defining and achieving objectives in cooperation with some people, all-out opposition from others, in a contest that draws on every talent and tests every virtue that we have. Even those of us whose life plans do not involve storming up a hillside under enemy fire can learn from the way Clausewitz analyzes leadership and war. More, to ignore war in an education is to leave students ignorant about one of the central features of civilization and human life.
Clausewitz wrote at a golden moment in western history. The Enlightenment and the burgeoning scientific revolution had created an ability to think systematically about complex phenomena. From Karl von Linnaeus creation of an orderly system for reducing the chaos of the animal kingdom into something comprehensible to Isaac Newtons analysis of celestial mechanics, as well as Adam Smiths study of political economy and even Napoleons creation of a legal code that reduced two thousand years of western legal practice into a system that could serve the needs of a vastly more complex society, the last 100 years had been an age of powerful analytical breakthroughs based on painstaking observation.
By Clausewitzs time there was also a new sophistication in the way westerners thought about history. A series of epochal changes the French Revolution, the Reformation, the Renaissance stretching back into classical antiquity offered rich food for reflection and analysis. The drama and upheaval of the Napoleonic wars meant that these historical questions were personal and urgent for a generation whose governments had been overturned, lives disrupted and traditional social arrangements destroyed by one of historys great storms. Clausewitz was part of a generation driven to wield the new tools of scientific thought to analyze social change.
The chaos of his times shaped Clausewitzs life. He fought through the Napoleonic Wars as a Prussian officer defecting briefly to Russian service when Prussia was obliged by the terms of its treaty with France to support Napoleon in the ill-fated Russian invasion of 1812 and the energy that drives the book comes out of Clausewitzs reflections on the two military geniuses that dominated his life (Frederick the Great and Napoleon) and his quarrel with the stale Prussian military bureaucracy that, by reducing Fredericks legacy to a system, left Prussia exposed to Napoleon.
On War is shaped by Clausewitzs encounter with the history and ideas of his times; it is also shaped by his experience in one of the first truly modern bureaucracies. (One of the achievements of Frederick the Great that so impressed contemporaries was the meticulous organization of the Prussian army and state.) The relationship of individual genius and vision to bureaucratic routine is a serious strategic problem in the modern world. The virtues that make a great military commander are, as Clausewitz notes, intensely personal: imagination and moral courage being perhaps the rarest and most valuable. These are perhaps the worst qualities for an aspiring bureaucrat to have.
There are desk generals and battle generals, and the unequal struggle between them is a recurring problem and not just in military organizations. Desk generals excel in the arts of bureaucratic warfare, stick close to the conventional wisdom in all ways, and were brilliantly described in two unforgettable Gilbert and Sullivan songs: Modern Major General and The First Lords Song. In times of peace these timeserving mediocrities rise inexorably to the top; wars usually begin with a painful shakeout while the beribboned and bemedaled lunkheads demonstrate their hopeless incapacity at the true military art. Then and only then do the unclubbable and unconventional officers whose only virtue is their ability to somehow win battles gradually edge to the fore and the Grants and the Shermans elbow past the Popes and the McClellans.
Yet it is not, in the modern world, enough to be a lone visionary. Under modern conditions, strategic genius must necessarily be linked with bureaucracy. The greatest genius needs a military machine and a state structure. More, as Henry Kissinger discovered to his frustration, a hostile bureaucracy can frustrate and sabotage a brilliant leaders initiatives in many ways. Commands given by a great general or initiatives envisioned by a great diplomat must under modern conditions be executed by great throngs of non-genius employees and functionaries. There is no other way.
Clausewitz wrote On War during a period when many writers were struggling to reduce the lessons of military history to some kind of system. (His great rival Antoine-Henri Jomini dominated American military thought during and after the Civil War.) Such manuals are ultimately attempts to square the circle: to reduce genius to a set of precepts which can be taught in an orderly fashion to lesser minds. They are necessary but futile; at the end of the day, that which most needs to be taught is that which cannot be communicated.
Clausewitz is a great writer on strategy for at least two reasons. First, his orderly and insightful presentation of the elements of military strategy focuses relentlessly on the critical factors in military contests, providing readers with a clear and comprehensive view of the subject. Second, he never loses sight of the dual character of a military manual. On the one hand, he is writing a guide for the ordinary officer to increase his professionalism and his usefulness to a great commander. On the other hand, he is also writing to inspire and instruct the intellect that will leap beyond classroom maxims and rules of war to grasp new possibilities and write new rules. He can be read with profit by both career civil servants and a new Napoleon.
Statue of Frederick the Great in Berlin (Source: Wikimedia Commons) Clausewitz wrote in the aftermath of the terrible disasters brought on by the Prussian military staffs reduction of the genius of Frederick the Great into a sterile and closed system. They believed that the art of war had been perfected, that all they had to do to beat the French was to follow the infallible methods that the great Frederick had laid down. Their successors would make the same mistake with Clausewitz; the younger von Moltkes botched execution of the Schlieffen Plan in 1914 was a textbook case of the disasters that result when a commander lacks the genius and courage necessary for greatness.
It is a testimony to Clausewitzs insight that On War pointed this problem out when Clausewitz describes the characteristics a great commander needs. It is a testimony to the enduring difficulty of strategy and war that his warnings failed to protect a military bureaucracy that was fanatically determined to follow his teaching.
In many ways Sun Tzu, the mystical and elliptical founder of strategic thought, and the methodical and systematic Clausewitz are opposites. Yet the work of both leads the observant reader back to the paradoxical nature of strategic thought. Victory demands thorough and systematic preparation, but all systems of thought lead in the end to sterile formulae and defeat.
There is more profit to be had in studying Sun Szu rather than Clauswitz.
I agree.
A great thought Clausewitz had:
Woe to the government, which, relying on half-hearted politics and a shackled military policy, meets a foe who, like the untamed elements, knows no law other than his own power!
Woe to the government, which, relying on half-hearted politics and a shackled military policy, meets a foe who, like the untamed elements, knows no law other than his own power!
I think George Patton understood this. That's why he got in trouble. Bradley and Ike used him as a warrior and then basically Ike threw him away.
Oh, my. This brings back memories.
I was thirteen years old when I joined the Military Book club. It has been a very long time since I read On War, and it's sitting on the bookshelves right now, between The Two-Ocean War and the Influence of Sea Power Upon History. Probably should crack On War open, again, for a refresher.
Another of the books I bought long ago was, Lincoln and His Generals. Very enlightening from an historical and political point; Lincoln was quite frustrated, his letters indicate. He had difficulties in getting his generals to do things, like fight battles (McClellan comes to mind!).
Another good read was B.H.Liddel Hart's book, The German Generals Talk. It was derived from post WWII interviews with German field generals.
I spent a summer outlining that book for an English class - extra credit! The teacher was a naturalized citizen originally from Austria. He found my work interesting and told me about being forced into the Hitler Youth. His youth group was left in Vienna by the retreating Germans and they moved before the advancing Russian Army, destroying bridges and other infrastructure! He said he was 12-years old; some of his friends were as young as 9 and 10 years old. (And they were using explosives?!) The Russians, when they caught and of them would kill them. Still, they were brave young chaps to my thinking.
For later
Thanks for the link....got my own copy somewhere here with my highlights and marginalia from years gone by :-)
Sherman reiterated this sentiment somewhat more succinctly when he said, "Every attempt to make war easy and safe will result in humiliation and disaster".
I keep a copy in the book case over my desk. I aught to buy an epub copy for my electronic readers.
None the less, I always reccomend studying both.
As we look back at those forward thinkers ignored to the loss of their nations, one must wonder about thinking men here, in China, or in Russia etc.

Some noteworthy articles about politics, foreign or military affairs, IMHO, FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.
Others would include Antoine-Henri Jomini who's work is also titled The Art of War when translated into English. His philosophies on logistics are particularly important.
Command of the Air by Giulio Douhet despite some flawed initial thoughts on the use of air power, outlines some of the original strategies on air superiority that we still accept as a standard today for air operations.
I could go on and on going into theorists and strategists for different time frames and arenas of warfare but I wont. The last suggestion for strategy that's worth reading and is definitely current would be Counterinsurgency Warfare: Theory and Practice by David Galula. It's well worth the read.
Correct. Liddll Hart was a proponent of the indirect approach.
Finding the "center of gravity" aint too easy when you're dealing with homicidal/suicidal dingbats; unless you're willing to get medieval on they ass.
Which military genius recognized withering ambush's efficacy from behind rocks and trees instead of set brigades marching across a field firing at each other? Just curious. Anyone? (Night!) ;-)
I agree. Clausewitz is stale.
Excellent story and amazing that today we infantilize children to such a degree, no?
Good article.
Thanks for the ping!
Whew. Lucky we're not that country, huh?
Well, if you want to generalize, and read a notion backward into history, but it was Liddel-Hart whose vision of how to accomplish a Sherman-style operational plan by the use of massed armor was studied by the German General Staff and given the name Blitzkrieg when they implemented it.
"...we infantilize children to such a degree,.."
I agree.
The center of gravity of the jihadis is easy to find. We're just unwilling to touch it at the moment.
The center of gravity is their source of finance for Jihad. The money from Jihad comes from Saudi Arabia, the rest of the Arab oil states, plus Iran. Make that money source go away, and the rest will have to find paying jobs, and be too busy trying to keep themselves fed to think of Jihad.
Fuller was much more than an influence than Liddel- Hart. And there is the unfortunate problem of Liddel- Hart's [according to Guderian's family] 'leaning' on Guderian to magnify his influence on German theory [and Guderian] in the post-war era.
And noting that 'blitzkrieg' originated much before Liddel-Hart is not "read[ing] a notion back in history". The history existed before the notion. And one wonders why the Soviet doctrine of deep penetration [Tuchachevsky et al], which was developed when the Germans and Soviets were working together before the ascent of Hitler, is not given any credit for influencing the Germans.
She must have heard the story of Sun Szu and the concubines of the Emperor.
In addition, what takes C a page to uncover S does in a couple of sentences. If a general had to read ONLY one there is no reason to read Clausewitz.
A guy named Arminius (Armin or Hermann) in Germania's Teutoberg Forest used these tactics against three legions of Roman regulars led by a guy named Varus.
Julius Caesar wrote about this Roman defeat in De Bello Gallico a little more than 2000 years ago.
I take that back. Caesar did not write about this battle, since it happened about fifty years after he died. Tacitus, Suetoneus and others, however, did.
Amazing how rusty folks' memory can get when they are almost fifty years out of college.

Sorry. The Teutoburg massacre occurred in approximately 9 A.D, during the reign of the emperor Augustus. Caesar's De BELLO GALLICO was largely written by 44 A.D, some 50 years earlier.
I corrected that in Post #39..

What was peaceable coercion?
1 Answer | Add Yours
The term "peaceable coercion is most often connected to the presidency of Thomas Jefferson. It was President Jefferson's approach to trying to get European countries to respect the rights of the United States and its shipping.
In 1807, France and Great Britain were at war. They had been in conflict with one another for some years due to the French Revolution. Their conflict came to include the United States. This was because each side was trying to prevent the US from trading with the other side. The US was therefore unable to exercise its right to trade as a neutral country.
President Jefferson knew that the US was not really strong enough to fight an all-out war with either of the European powers. Therefore, he decided to try to use "peaceable coercion" to force them to respect US rights. He used the Embargo Act to do this. Congress passed a law ending all trade with foreign countries. This was supposed to force (coerce) the British and French to stop blocking American shipping and it was supposed to do so without the use of military force (peaceable).
Thus, "peaceable coercion" was President Jefferson's strategy of using economic pressure to force France and Britain to respect the US's right to trade as a neutral country.

Google's Rumored Storage Should Leave CIOs Cold
Google is going to introduce its long-rumored storage offering next week, according to numerous reports, one of which cites documentation provided by Google to its software-integration partners. The new service, Google Drive, will offer 5GB of storage for free, and more for those willing to pay.
It's an interesting offer for gmail and Google+ users, and there will be pressure in some quarters to fall in line behind the behemoth. But there isn't really a compelling reason for CIOs to be moved, and several reasons for them to avoid it.
For starters, there are already a number of cloud-based storage services available, including Dropbox, Box, Apple's iCloud, Amazon Cloud Drive and Microsoft's SkyDrive. From what we've heard, CIOs are already tolerating–and in many cases actively supporting -some of these consumer services.
It appears that Google Drive will offer a relatively generous amount of free storage—Dropbox offers only 2GB of free storage, although its members can boost that amount by recruiting new users. Of course, pricing of these cloud-based services generally isn't the issue for corporate CIOs.
While a few CIOs shudder at the very mention of Dropbox, which suffered a hit to its credibility last year when a number of customer passwords were compromised, a great many more believe the company provides the kinds of storage services their knowledge workers require.
That's especially true for marketing departments that make heavy use of large media files like photographs or video as part of their web or social media outreach programs. And they're satisfied the company adequately addressed its security glitch.
Box provides collaboration tools in addition to storage. And for those who are already working with Google, Box is specifically designed to work with Google Apps. Tons of other services have been created around Box as well.
It's true that Google will include many of the services these alternatives already offer. Like Dropbox, for instance, Google Drive apparently will allow users to work offline and sync documents when they're back online. But unlike Box, it won't include specific collaboration features. And if, as it seems, this is largely a me-too offering, there doesn't seem to be a compelling reason to switch from a service that has already proven itself to be effective.
And if Google wants to crawl documents created by customers using the service for free, that would be a total non-starter for every CIO we've met. Google today is like Microsoft in 1999, in that everything it does makes news. But if there's one lesson we should have learned from 1999, it's that CIOs shouldn't hand their entire IT shop to a single vendor.

First Posted: 12/14/2013
(AP) Germany's main center-left party cleared the way on Saturday for Angela Merkel to start her third term as chancellor, announcing that its members had voted by a large majority to join the conservative leader in government.
The ballot of the Social Democrats' nearly 475,000 members capped post-World War II Germany's longest effort to form a government. It set the stage for Parliament to re-elect Merkel on Tuesday ending nearly three months of post-election political limbo in Europe's biggest economy.
Some 76 percent of members who took part approved a deal to form a "grand coalition" government of right and left under Merkel and about 24 percent voted against.
"What we want to do now is to show the 24 percent over the next four years that the 76 percent were right," party leader Sigmar Gabriel said. He added that the party had shown a great "sense of responsibility" to the country.
Merkel's conservatives won Sept. 22 elections but fell short of a majority and saw their previous pro-business coalition partners lose their parliamentary seats forcing them to reach across the aisle for new allies.
The Social Democrats already served as Merkel's junior partners once, between 2005 and 2009 in her first term, and emerged weakened from the experience. In September, they finished a distant second to Merkel's Union bloc.
In an effort to counter members' strong initial resistance to working again with their traditional rivals, Gabriel took what appeared the risky move of pledging an unprecedented ballot of the party's full membership on any coalition deal.
Gabriel and other leaders toured Germany over recent weeks to sell to members the deal Social Democrats and conservatives hammered out last month.
It featured key center-left demands including the introduction of Germany's first mandatory national minimum wage, at 8.50 euros ($11.65), per hour and a change to the pension system that will allow some longtime workers to retire at 63 on full pensions.
However, Germany's position in Europe's debt crisis will remain largely unchanged and Merkel's conservatives refused to raise taxes for high earners.
A conference of Merkel's Christian Democratic Union approved the coalition deal on Monday.
Its general secretary, Hermann Groehe, welcomed the result of the Social Democrats' ballot. "We are glad that our work together in government can now begin quickly," he said.
The new government will have an overwhelming parliamentary majority. It holds 504 of the 631 seats in the lower house; the rest are held by the left-leaning Greens and the hard-line Left Party.
The coalition partners haven't yet announced who will get what Cabinet posts.

Roseville Youth Soccer Club - Registration Line - Roseville, CA - Phone: (916) 786-6060
Soccer, or more popularly known as football, is a sport played between two teams of eleven players each with a spherical ball in Roseville. It is the most popular sport of the 21st century with over 250 million players from over 200 different countries playing this game. It is an outdoor game played in a rectangular field. Each team can score a point by driving the ball into the opponent's goal post, and the team scoring the highest number of goals wins. The goalkeepers are the ones who protect the goal and try to stop the opponent team from scoring a goal while the remaining players try to score a goal.
Like every other sport, there are a few rules of the game, which were originally set up in England but have undergone significant changes over the years. One such rule or law is that players other than the goalkeeper will not handle the ball with their hands or arms, and if he does so, he would be penalized by the match referee. A referee is the person who officiates the game and his words are final and binding. A standard football match consists of two periods of 45 minutes each, with a gap of about 15 minutes in between the two halves.

AbstractLianas are an important component of tropical forests, and may reach their highest densities in disturbed areas. However, information on seed and germination characteristics is scarce. Twenty Amazon liana species were screened for their germination characteristics, including light dependence, tolerance of desiccation and of alternating temperatures; these characteristics are considered important for the germination success in areas with relatively open canopies. Between 31–1,420 seeds per species were available, as 15 species seeds came from one mother plant. We studied seed biometry and conducted germination trials with fresh seeds (12 h light daily, or dark) and desiccated seeds at 25 °C. Germination at alternating temperatures (20/30 °C, 15/35 °C) was analyzed for nine species. Of the 20 species, eight species with the largest seeds had desiccation sensitive seeds; this is the first record for species of four genera and one family, where only desiccation tolerant seeds are otherwise recorded. Light-dependent germination was found in three species (0.01–0.015 g) and is the first record for two; however, results were based on seeds from one plant per species. Alternating temperatures of 15/35 °C decreased final germination of four out of nine species, and response to 20/30 °C cycles varied compared to constant 25 °C. Seed and germination characteristics of the species ranged from pioneer to climax traits indicating that establishment of lianas from seeds may be confined to species specific niches.

They told me I had to pay $200 a month until December 2011 to pay off this debt. I called Continental Finance and they said they had sold my credit card account to Stein and Associates.
Stein and Associates phone number is in California, the man's name is Brian and the number is 714-798-7717.
They are very rude and hateful and have taken advantage of me. I am always broke and I have medical bills I need to pay.

The only reason your card would have been sold to a Collection Agency is if you were delinquent, interesting how you left that little bit of information out. That is unless you are saying you weren't delinquent.
So how exactly did they rip you off for $1,400 and how does you paying other bills have to do with them ripping you off?
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Oxegen 2007 stage times revealed
Gather your festival buddies, get out your notebooks and prepare for the big Oxegen conundrum - how can one person be in four places at once.
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 26 Jun 2007
The stage times for Oxegen have been announced and it's looking very, very promising indeed.
If you're looking for something to do between the hours of 19.10 and 00.00 on Saturday then you could do a lot worse that planting yourself right in front of the main stage and setting up shop for the evening. Kings of Leon followed by Scissor Sisters followed by Snow Patrol followed by Muse is a fine evening's entertainment by anyone's standards.
Of course if you did that then you'd miss Maximo Park and then Interpol playing the NME stage at 21.00 and 22.20. But if you go to Interpol you'd be missing Editors at the same time in the Green Room. But then that's clashing with Air on the Pet Sounds Stage. And that's just the Saturday...
To get the full stage times, sign up to the Oxegen mailing list on their site.

On the large calender used to add events in the dash board, the associated post and associated link show up and work. If i use the widget to display calendar type 'Event List', then the link to a post works, however, if i use calendar type 'Calendar', when i click on the event date, the screen greys out and no link is followed. I have to click the screen again, to get back to the original page.
This plugin is exactly what i want, but no good if the link does not work. I have tried disabling plugins, but no luck. Hopefully you can help.
See http://www.weymouthswimmingclub.com, April events although I will only leave the calendar on the site in a 'not working' state for a short while

The Road to Serfdom remains one of the all-time classics of twentieth-century intellectual thought. For over half a century, it has inspired politicians and thinkers around the world, and has had a crucial impact on our political and cultural history. With trademark brilliance, Hayek argues convincingly that, while socialist ideals may be tempting, they cannot be accomplished except by means that few would approve of. Addressing economics, fascism, history, socialism and the Holocaust, Hayek unwraps the trappings of socialist ideology. He reveals to the world that little can result from such ideas except oppression and tyranny. Today, more than fifty years on, Hayek's warnings are just as valid as when The Road to Serfdom was first published.

The Danger of Emerging Market Inflation
By Mohamed A. El-Erian
May 31, 2011
This article was originally published on blogs.ft.com on May 31, 2011.
As detailed in Tuesday's FT ("Global economy: A high price to pay"), inflation is the major challenge facing emerging economies as they seek to sustain their growth rates, alleviate poverty, and navigate a complicated global context.
The article correctly points out that today's inflationary pressures are fuelled by several factors – some domestic (including emerging economies' success in closing their output gaps after the global financial crisis); others external (including the surge in commodity prices and the excessive liquidity being injected by central banks in advanced countries).
If left unchecked, high and accelerating inflation will have growing adverse economic, social and political effects. In addition to undermining overall growth and resource allocation, it imposes a very heavy burden on the poor and erodes political unity.
Emerging economies have no choice but to react. Indeed, the question is not whether they should counter the inflation threat but how. And this question becomes even more complex if the advanced countries continue to deny ongoing national and global re-alignments (and the evidence is that both Europe and the US are still in denial).
Look for emerging economies to use an unusually broad range of measures. Some will be familiar, such as additional hikes in interest rates and bank reserve requirements. But, as many resist excessive appreciation in their currencies, they will also experiment more with prudential measures aimed at moderating credit creation and slowing capital inflows. And policy makers will have to stay very alert as few of them (and analysts) are sufficiently confident on the kinds of macroeconomic outcomes that such an ad hoc mix of policy may produce, including unintended consequences.
How about the impact on the global economy?
In the old days, emerging economies were deemed "small" in the sense that they had to react to external influences but, in turn, their actions had limited impact on the global economy. This is no longer the case.
In countering inflationary pressures, emerging economies will increase the probability of a renewed soft patch for the global economy given that advanced countries are structurally impaired and their policy-induced cyclical recovery is weakening.
The bottom line is threefold: Emerging economies will tap multiple policy brakes as they seek to counter mounting inflationary pressures; they will continue to grow, but not enough to pull up decisively the sluggish advanced countries; and, pending better global coordination that delivers proper structural reforms (in contrast to increasingly uncoordinated and ad hoc actions by individual countries), the global economy will face higher risks, including its old enemy of stagflation.

AIKEN CTY, S.C.---Aiken County deputies are looking for a man who robbed a Hephzibah man at gunpoint Thursday night in a bathroom at Carolina Dragway.
The victim is Eric Raymond.
He told officers about 11:30 pm, a man walked up behind him and shoved a handgun in his back, then demanded his wallet. Raymond was then struck on the head several times with the gun. The robber then grabbed his wallet and ran out of the building.
Raymond chased the man and was able to wrestle his wallet away from the man. He also ripped the shirt off the robber's back. That man then ran off into some woods.
If you have information, contact Aken deputies at (800) 922-9709 or Crimestoppers at (888) CRIME-SC. You may be eligible for a reward.
