LOCKPORT - A work of local art, finished by a Niagara Falls teenager in the year America celebrated its centennial, is on display again in the History Center of Niagara.
The Niagara Street museum, also known as the Niagara County Historical Society, has had Gayton Swan's diorama of the first suspension bridge over the falls in its collection since 1974, but its deteriorating condition led the center to remove it from display six years ago.
With a grant of $7,200 in hand from the Greater Hudson Heritage Network, the History Center was able to hire Great Lakes Art Conservation of Grand Island to restore the 3-D work to its original condition.
The diorama, which is 38� inches high and 52 inches wide, includes a highly detailed model of the wooden suspension bridge with three railroad cars crossing it, in front of a painted background of the falls. Besides the bridge, there is a model of an early Maid of the Mist boat beneath the bridge. The diorama measures 6� inches from front to back.
The real-life suspension bridge was completed in 1855 after four years of construction. It was designed by John A. Roebling, the German-born engineer whose most famous project was the Brooklyn Bridge. The 825-foot span had two levels, for railroad and vehicular use.
It stood about 2� miles below the falls and was closed in 1896 because the increasing weights of trains made the span unusable, although it was still in good condition. The Whirlpool Rapids Bridge was built to replace it.
Tracy L. Dulniak, owner of the studio, worked on conserving Swan's 1876 painting, and Dena J. Cirpili handled the objects. Both women have master's degrees in art conservation from Buffalo State College, which Dulniak said is one of only three such programs in the country.
Melissa L. Dunlap, executive director of the History Center, said the diorama was a gift from a collector. "At some point before I was hired [in 1990], somebody had cut an opening in the top to put a light in there, which wasn't a good idea, to have all that heat in there," she said.
Barbara Moore, a curator who worked at the History Center in the early 1990s thanks to a grant, recommended that the light be removed. It was, and a piece of plexiglass was put in the hole.
"I loaned it out a couple of times, and I don't know what happened to the Plexiglas," Dunlap said.
A small paper sign someone made to identify the diorama fell inside, as did plenty of dust and dirt over the years.
"Some of the trusses to the bridge loosened," Dunlap said. Eventually, with the diorama falling into disrepair, it was taken off display.
The restorers took the diorama apart and went to work. Dulniak said they spent 80 to 90 hours on the project over a six-month period.
Their three-page report details the cleaners, varnishes and waxes they used to preserve the piece. Tiny areas of missing paint were filled in with new paint, and broken pieces were repaired.
"We respect the aging process," Dulniak said. "The goal is not to make things look new. It's to stabilize and to remove any varnish coatings and dirt."
She said applying a layer of varnish to a painting was a standard practice at the time. "The rule was to wait at least a year," she said.
"If there are cracks and things that have occurred, those are not tampered with. If paint is missing as a result of damage, we replace that."
She will be on hand at a public event at 7 p.m. Sept. 12 to discuss how the work was done.
Douglas V. Farley, director of development at the History Center, said the diorama went on display about two weeks ago in the meeting room on the museum's first floor.
But what of Gayton H. Swan, the teen prodigy who created the diorama?
According to an online biography, he doesn't seem to have been involved in art again.
Swan was born in Niagara Falls in 1859, the son of an American Express agent and messenger.
He started selling newspapers at age 10, and when he was 15, he went to work at a hardware store. It appears that the diorama was made in the time he had left over from that job, which he held for three years.
Swan worked at other hardware stores until 1880, when the 21-year-old was appointed superintendent of the Niagara Falls water works. He kept that job until 1884, when he returned to the private sector as an employee of Niagara Falls lumber dealer George Haeberle, whose daughter he had married in 1881.
After two years in the lumber business, Swan opened his own plumbing and tinning business, which he continued for many years. He also served a two-year term as Niagara Falls village trustee before the city's incorporation in 1892.
No biographical information about Swan is available after 1897. His name last appears in the U.S. census for Niagara Falls in 1920.

We went to Sungai Wang during the last school holiday to meet Ultraman Mebius and Cosmos. This is for the sake of my Ultraman son :) He so loves Ultraman so why not let him meet his heroes :)
He requested to buy one Ultraman Agul which he has been bugging me to buy long ago. Okay, his wish list granted. Later he asked for a 3 head monster pulak. This monster is even more expensive than the Ultraman. We bought for him because he actually doesn't own a monster for his Ultramans to fight with. All this while he uses his Ultraman toys to fight with Ben 10 alien toys.

What I'd like to hear at the end of this game is the same thing ah swear ah heard last night around 11pm CDT. After I stopped whooping and hollering, there was this glorious kind of echo...like thousands of voices from around the world raised in sheer ecstacy at Dats's goal and the Wings' victory. All of us coming together for all the right reasons. Ah believe it, ah buhleeeve!!
And just as I dozed off, and after fretting the usual list of crap, there was a smile on my face just thinking about that ending.

Michelle Obama sets women's temperatures rising
Submitted by Jamie Williamson on Tue, 03/08/2011 - 06:53
New York, Mar 8: A survey has found that US First Lady Michelle Obama is more likely to leave women feeling hot.
The Quinnipiac's "national thermometer" measurement asked voters to rate leaders from 0 to 100 degrees, with the highest numbers reflecting the warmest feelings, the New York Post reported.
Michelle, 47, scored the highest rating overall, with a 60.1-degree reading, and was also some three degrees hotter than her husband, Barack Obama, 49, who finished in fourth place.
The women took a special liking to Michelle, with 33 percent of them saying she warmed them up to more than 80 degrees, a stat that only 22 percent of men agreed with.
Meanwhile, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, 48, was voted as the one who can set men's temperatures rising, with some 13 percent of women saying he was hotter than 60 degrees.
Overall, Christie made voters heat up to 57 degrees, trailing only the first lady and second place finisher, former President Bill Clinton.
The survey of nearly 2,000 registered voters had a margin of error of 2.3 percentage points. (ANI)

I'm giving Bengal Tiger two stars because their food is fairly good, I'd give it 3.5/4 stars but their service is about 1 star.
My husband and I went came here based on a pushy recommendation from our Uber driver (which was a bad call, we later learned our Uber driver has a relationship with the restaurant and often drops off his riders to this restaurant - there must be something in it for...more
Reasonable food, nothing to write home about, but for the price and location is great for a work night curry! On Mondays to Wednesday's, you can usually just rock up without a booking which is handy....more
While the ambiance is relaxing and the decor is elegant, the food is mediocre.
I ordered the lunch portion of chicken tikka masala with naan but they served me rice instead of naan. The chicken flavoring was mild, with a slight kick. The rice was bland, no peas :( I've had much better Indian food in my home state of New Jersey. Disappointing.more
My coworkers suggested this place and it was quite good.
All of the food was good, but not the best Indian I've ever had. The chicken tikka masala was sweeter than I'm used to, but still tasty. The tandoori chicken was good according to my coworker. The naan was about right with the other Indian restaurants I've ever gone to.
Prices were a bit high.more

Why Go With Propane Water Heaters?
Of all the choices a homeowner faces, the selection of a water heater proves to be one the largest. After all, your water heater is responsible for much of your home's monthly energy costs, so it is essential you choose a cost-effective, yet equally efficient model. With the choice of an electric or propane water heater, there are many positives when going with propane. Our Dallas TX propane professionals at Northwest Propane can help you with this crucial choice, proving why propane is the increasingly popular option.
When choosing between propane water heaters and their electric counterparts, there are many things to keep in mind. In today's economy, one must factor in cost when considering purchasing any new appliance for the home. Yet, it is important to consider not only the installation cost, but the cost of continuous usage as well. Propane water heaters make for lower monthly utility bills, as they provide a constant supply of warm water, whereas electric water heaters take longer to heat the water, utilizing more energy.
Another reason to go with propane today is, as stated above, they provide a constant supply of warm water, meaning you never have to space out your showers again, or waste time waiting for the water to warm up. Propane water heaters come in two options: traditional or tankless, and prove themselves extremely energy-efficient and can take up little space – crucial for cramped homes.
With so much to think about, choosing the right water heater should not be taken lightly. With Northwest Propane, the choice just got easier. With any comments, questions, or to schedule a propane water heater installation today, give us a call or visit us online.

Curriculum review
May 03, 2009
Students who started the political management degree in fall 2008 or later operate under the revised curriculum. Alumni may not have had the chance to review the new curriculum, so here is a quick overview for you.
Why did we reorganize the program of study? Program reviews occur regularly in academia, and it was time for the political management to reflect on recent experience and emerging trends in politics. We did a year-long series of faculty retreats and a survey of alumni to gather thoughts on the effectiveness of our classes, and we discovered that we needed to refine our approach. Everybody agreed with what we were teaching in the core curriculum – but also wanted to see us address two topics more forcefully. Many faculty and alumni thought we should do more on the communications, so we shifted PMGT 207 "Strategy and Message Development" into a two-course sequence so we could devote more time to building communications skills. We also added a former elective, "political Leadership," to the core to help all of our students learn their individual leadership styles.
Six-Course Core Sequence (18 credits)
The core curriculum is described in this chart. Some key features:
The core curriculum is required of all students and must be completed during the first four semesters (eight courses).
The core curriculum provides students with history and development of the field of practical politics, political leadership skills, media and communications theory, ethics, and quantitative research methods.
Fundamentals of Political Mgmt
An introduction to the field of political management: recent political history; Washington and its centers of power: public policy decision making; and political strategy.
Research Methods
Techniques of data analysis and the uses and abuses of statistical reasoning, with particular emphasis on applications to electoral campaigns, lobbying, and government relations. Topics include measurement, descriptive statistics, probability, and significance testing.
Communications Elements
Message development: art and craft of persuasion and strategic integration of research, tactics, and public feedback. The specialized forms of communication that political professionals use to win public support for candidates and policy positions. Formerly PMGT 207.
Communications Strategy
Advanced message development and implementation of a coordinated communications strategy, including integration of all forms of communications. Formerly PMGT 246.
Application of ethics to political campaigning, lobbying, and representation generally; norms of conduct that should guide activities and working relations of candidates, campaign consultants, polling organizations, political reporters, lobbyists, legislators, and officials. Formerly PMGT 260.
Political Leadership
Comprehensive understanding of individual leadership style. How leadership style influences conduct and how others react. Includes intensive workshop on presentation skills for leadership situations. Formerly PMGT 265.12.
The faculty retreats also made it clear that the many tracks we had developed 1995-2006 were very complicated to explain, and that the 'track' structure obscured the commonalities of many jobs in practical politics. Therefore, we reorganized the tracks into three focus areas, which remain voluntary for students. The focus areas demonstrate the common features of many jobs by collecting them into three broad categories. Students still retain the flexibility to design their own focus areas, but the three categories bring more courses together so students can see the connections between them.
Focus Areas (9 credits)
Three focus areas are offered: advocacy politics, which comprises lobbying, grassroots, corporate public affairs, and non-profit operations; electoral politics, which is campaign management and running for office; and advanced political skills, which supports the full range of political activities (this group includes polling, communications and the new media, fundraising, and public policy). The tables below show you all the courses in each focus area. Remember: students are not required to elect a focus area, and may develop their own sequence of courses in consultation with the program director and with director's approval.
Advocacy Politics
PMGT 230 Issues Management
Plus any two courses:
PMGT 231 Lobbying
PMGT 232 Lobbying Budget Proc.
PMGT 233 Grassroots
PMGT 234 Int'l Lobbying
PMGT 235 Strat Mgt of Issues
PMGT 236 Corp Pub Affairs
PMGT 241 Crisis Mgt
PMGT 244 Lobbying EU I
PMGT 245 Lobbying EU II
PMGT 247 Non-profit advocacy
PMGT 248 Non-profit ldrship
Electoral Politics
PMGT 250 Campaign Strategy
PMGT 251 Campaign Org/Exec
Plus any one course:
PMGT 252 Campaign Advert.
PMGT 253 Pres Campaigns
PMGT 256 Int'l Pol Consulting
PMGT 257 State Gov't & Politics
PMGT 258 St/Local Campaigns
PMGT 260 Running for Office
PMGT 228 Law and Pol Process
Students who want to pursue the advanced skills focus may take three courses from among the courses listed below. With the permission of the program director, students may also design a three-course sequence that pulls from courses across all three areas (for example, a student desiring to gain expertise in state politics might take the party fundraising class, lobbying, and state/local campaigning).
Advanced Political Skills
Take any three courses:
PMGT 211 Polling
PMGT 212 Qual. Research
PMGT 214 Public Op Dynamics
PMGT 216 Speechwriting
PMGT 217 Pol Mgt and Media
PMGT 218 The New Media
PMGT 220 Fundraising
PMGT 221 Fundraising for Orgs
PMGT 222 Party Fundraising
PMGT 225 Ldrship Theory
PMGT 227 Women in Politics
PMGT 228 Law and Pol Process
PMGT 229 Managing Pol Orgs
Capstone sequence options (9 credits)
The final stage of the political management degree has not changed. Students complete the final three classes (nine credits) in one of two ways: students may take any two electives, followed by PMGT 295, Advanced Problems and Strategy, the capstone course; or they may take any one elective and the two-course thesis option, PMGT 299-300.
Take one option or the other
Take any two electives, plus:
PMGT 295 Adv Probs & Strategy
Take any one elective, plus:
PMGT 299 Thesis I
PMGT 300 Thesis II
We launched the new curriculum in Fall of 2008, so we are still learning how it is going. Our intent is to make sure all graduates have the skills and knowledge needed for success in the world of politics. We will see another review in a few years, and we will again seek the advice of our alumni and our faculty when that review occurs.
In the meantime, please share your thoughts on the curriculum with us any time. If you have ideas for new courses or new faculty who could help us with new insight, please let me know!

The Parti Quebecois not only lost 24 seats in the last election, it also lost half a million dollars a year in party funding.
Under a system introduced by the Marois government, political parties get a cut of public funds based on their election results.
The chief electoral officer has $9,078,784 to distribute every year for the next four years (that's $1.51 multiplied by the number of registered voters) and political parties get a share of the pot based on their percentage of the popular vote.
For the Liberals, who saw their percentage jump from 31 per cent in 2012 to 41 per cent in 2014, their election win translates into an extra $1 million in public funding every year.
The Parti Quebecois, on the other hand, will have to deal with a $544,589 drop in funds.
The CAQ also saw a dip in their popular vote, and will be cut by about $300,000 a year. Quebec Solidaire gains $150,000 in new financing.
Real money
In real terms, the voter shift means the Liberals will benefit from a total $3.7 million in taxpayer funding a year, while the PQ will be granted $2.3 million.
The system to publicly fund parties was part of a reform brought in by Bernard Drainville, and was meant to compensate for much tighter restrictions on individual donations.
People can now donate no more than $100 dollars each. The limit is designed to make it close to impossible for companies to illegally fund political parties by disguising them as individual donations from their employees.
The Parti Quebecois came out a winner following this change — the party brought in just under $200,000 more in individual donations than the Liberals last year.
However, the Liberals' new boost in public funding still leaves that party far ahead overall.

Hey Seaglass!
Sorry you are back up to 179. Have you gone down since your last post? It sounds like you have been eating pretty good food (with some notable exceptions ) and are getting a good variety of food too.
I was gone for a while, but now I am back. I had a few mishaps, but I am recommitted and refocused on losing this dang weight.
I just bought the 21-day challenge book (because my mom borrowed my full Primal Blueprint book) and I was thinking of starting the 21-day challenge on Monday. Want to join me?
Follow me on Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/difwiz
Hard to believe I haven't posted here since October! I guess I was posting a lot over on the Whole9 forums. Not much to report except for I'm STILL having a hard time committing, bouncing on and off of the wagon, but now I weigh more than I have in forever. Last week I weighed 207. Shocking and horrific. But still not enough to get me seriously on-plan! I've been focusing on making some better choices, and I think have managed to do a bit better in the past week or so. Rereading The Primal Blueprint now, hoping for inspiration/motivation to finally stick. Got a new app to track goals, and a Nike Fuel Band, so here's to hoping the combination of motivators will work
Goal: Feel good, be active!

Bjoern Werner is widely the top pure 4-3 defensive end in the 2013 NFL draft, and he is just beginning to develop as a player.
Werner, a native of Berlin, Germany, didn't begin playing football until he was 15 as a foreign exchange student.
After seeing limited playing time as a freshman, Werner had a strong sophomore season, which helped him earn "The Germanator" nickname. He followed that year up with a great junior campaign, and he was named the ACC Defensive Player of the Year for his efforts.
Werner decided to forgo his senior season to enter the draft. His natural abilities coupled with his high ceiling will make him a surefire first-round pick.
Here are five highlights from Werner's collegiate career that display why he is so highly regarded.

90 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - September/October 2013
(a blend of tempranillo, merlot and cabernet sauvignon): Brilliant ruby. Intense cherry and blackcurrant aromas are lifted by a sexy floral element. Shows very good depth and power to its dark fruit flavors, which take a brighter, spicier turn with aeration. Closes sweet and brisk, with sneaky tannins and an echo of candied rose.

A considerate mood can guide you to consider the plight of the downtrodden empathetically today. As a result, you may react emotionally to the injustice, hunger, and poverty you see in your area and worldwide, stirred by your feelings to take a stand against suffering. Since you are likely concerned about the spiritual, emotional, and physical welfare of others, you may find yourself considering how you can help others toward the light while preserving their dignity. This thoughtful approach to philanthropy can help you act selflessly yet sensitively while broadening the range of your desire to eradicate unnecessary need. You likely comprehend today that the value of helping others lies in the manner in which those efforts contribute to the greater good.
Our concern for the welfare of the individuals we encounter each day can motivate us to consider how we can improve the lives of others on a grander scale than we might otherwise have contemplated. When we see suffering and acknowledge that the plight of a single individual can impact the world at large, we find a previously unrevealed strength within ourselves that prompts us to crusade for the well-being of all of our brothers and sisters in humanity. Our enthusiasm for philanthropic work is awakened and we gladly give of our resources, proud to help others cope with life's unpredictability. We understand that aiding one person contributes to the greater good. The sensitivity with which you view the plight of those less fortunate today will empower you to offer them targeted aid and support.

I am going to buy one of 3 things, a dump truck, a dump trailer or a dump insert for my f250 pick up. My concern is i work alone so lifting off the vac inorder to dump the leaves with a dump trailer or dump truck might be hard. I really dont want to have to buy a dump truck though so im going crazy with what to do, any advice. I do know i plan to buy a billy goat with the most hp as i can afford once i figure which way to go. Thanks Dave.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Classic, Traditional, Casual
What was your source for this crocheting project?
Online Photo or Website
Name of website or photo Splashes of Violets Cardigan
What materials did you use? Crochet cotton size 10, in 400 yd. (365 m) balls - light ecru (5-8 balls), and small amounts of lavender and light green; a size 7 (1.65 mm) steel crochet hook; and 1/2" round buttons (8-10).
What are you most proud of? I try to avoid sewing projects together whenever possible! I was able to work this out so the only seam needed is the sleeve seam. I am also very happy with the way the motif at the top of the back worked out. I liked the calm subtle design of this so much, I took a picture to use as the background on my computer!
What advice would you give someone starting this project? This is an easy to intermediate thread crochet project. The body is worked from the bottom up. The motifs on the bottom edge are worked in a connect-as-you-go technique, and the body of the cardigan is worked all the way around from the motifs up. The sleeves are added on and crocheted from the top down. Detailed charts are also included for reference for each of size. The finished chest sizes are: 30-5/8", 33-3/4", 36-7/8", 40" and 43-1/8". This pattern is available for $4.50 and is written in U.S. terms.

Only 3% of Taxpayers Earn $200,000 or More
|Email Print
Remember in the last Presidential election, when various Presidential hopefuls talked about raising taxes on the wealthy (or argued that raising taxes on those people would hurt small business and job growth)? According to information from the IRS, reported by CNN Money, only 3% of tax returns showed income of more than $200,000 a year. Three percent.
The tricky part about politics is that the media and the pundits make things bigger than they are. It's like Republican hopeful Michelle Bachmann's promise that she'll lower the price of a gallon of gas to $2 if she is elected President. While the price of gasoline is important to me, and to many Americans, it's not something that drives my decision making when voting for the leader of the free world.
Whether or not you agree with the politics of raising taxes (or raising revenue, depending on how much vocabulary gymnastics you're willing to play), the reality is that raising taxes on those earning $200,000 or more only affects 3% of filers.{ 67 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

Currently soliciting manuscripts from African American academics (discipline: open), activists, critics, commentators and politicians which offer critical analysis of a wide range of American foreign policy issues. Of particular interest are papers that expand into areas not generally thought of as subjects of African American analysis and critique – that in fact challenge the ways black interests have been relegated to a narrow range of both domestic and international concerns.
Works sought include (but are not limited to):
1. critiques addressing specific issue areas (and the intersections thereof), such as NATO; the war on and occupation of Iraq; Africa; the IMF and World Bank; FTAA; NAFTA; 9/11;the United Nations; peace; war; nuclear weapons production, deterrence, disarmament; environmental concerns; Mideast politics; the New World Order; terrorism; the European Union; China; Japan; East Asia; South Asia; Russia; Canada, Central and South America; AIDS; Homeland Security; the Department of Defense; the State Department; covert operations; the war on drugs; Columbia; Israel and Palestine; anti-globalization activism/resistance; Eastern European struggles; labor issues; arms trading; North-South Korea; the International Criminal Court; the Kyoto Protocol. Etc.
Especially welcome are articles that attend to how the underlying (racial, national, etc.) ideologies driving American foreign policy connect seemingly disparate areas/issues/policy decisions.
2. histories of African American discourse/political activism on American foreign policy;
3. analyses of the impact of foreign policy decisions on African American communities;
4. analyses of the activities and positions of African American organizations (e.g, NAACP, SCLC, Congressional Black Caucus, Black Radical Congress, etc.) and politicians with regard to American foreign policy;
5. critiques addressing specific issue areas and their relation to African American life, politics, cultural production, etc.
6. analysis of African American grassroots organizing on foreign policy concerns.
Writers should think through the ways race and racism (intersected with the politics of gender, sexuality, and class) underlie, drive and determine American foreign policy. They should also keep in mind several key questions (which are by no means exhaustive):
Please email a brief abstract/proposal (NOT as an attachment), along with a brief cv and contact information (due by November 1, 2003), via email.
Completed papers are due (must be postmarked by) February 1, 2004. Send hard copy (along with disk, Microsoft Word or Word Perfect) to:

Although the Seattle Seahawks' 2013-14 postseason played out just fine without cornerback Brandon Browner, any additional defensive secondary pieces are key in today's pass-heavy NFL.
So, Browner's tweet Tuesday announcing he's been reinstated by the league from what was supposed to be a yearlong drug suspension in November should only excite Seattle football fans — depending, of course, on what the team decides to do with the unrestricted free agent.
Browner's complete message:
I received wonderful news today. The NFL has reinstated me, and I now have the opportunity to prove to the fans and my teammates how important this sport is to me. I realize now more than ever that being part of the NFL is not a right, but a privilege. I am grateful that Commissioner Goodell and my agent were able to resolve this issue in a positive, productive manner so I can continue my career, provide for my family, and help my team win a Super Bowl. Thank you to all who have gone out of their way to show their support. I will live up to your expectations of me.
Browner's agent, Peter Schaffer, confirmed to The Associated Press that his client had been reinstated. The league has not commented on Browner's tweet.
Browner unsuccesfully appealed the his ban for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. The suspension's term became indefinite after the appeal was denied Dec. 19.
The news of the 29-year-old's reinstatement comes as a surprise, considering Browner was supposed to wait a year to even apply. Just last week, he reportedly was planning to sue the league over the suspension.
We assume that won't be necessary, now.

Good Crepes and Great Skating
Loading Map
im sitting in the apartment on a Saturday evening listening to Dad slurping on a chicken bone and Riley singing about charging his ipod but doing nothing about it. i recently purchased a set of skateboard trucks( which are the sort of axle things) from a small skate store in Paris. The thing about Paris is there are alot of amazing places to skate but no one is skating them. this is completely astounding to me because in Australia every single inch of skateable concrete is covered in dozens of people cruising round on planks of wood. In Oz there is also a great number of Skateboard retailers throughout Perth and is really easy to go and get something for your skateboarding needs. Not so in Paris. i literally had to pull on my hiking boots and backpacking provisions, tent, sleeping bag, couple of days surply of food and so on just to make it to the nearest skate store
Hi to everyone at home
Stuck Record Shea
We are pleased to report that the doggie shampoo & deodorant is working well for both of us. We have made a lot of new friends around Karrinyup!
Hi Shea,
Your writing, like Riley's is so interesting to read. It is wonderful to see Paris through your eyes with you being so much younger.
I'm beginning to think advertising should be done by young people like you and Riley.
Keep enjoying.
Aunty Jan xx
Hi guys
Haven't heard from you lately (since Paris). I have been down in Bunbury visiting Alisa and kids as poor little Sam has been in hospital with pneumonia for 3 days. He is home now and improving slowly. Alan went to Broome and Karratha for a week for work (mostly leisure I think) and came back with some extra weight around the gut - must have been the cuisine.
Hope your trip is continuing to be great and looking forward to some more blogs. Not sure what has happened as the last one I got was from Shea in Paris.

This is my first post to the forum, its very informative and enjoyable really.
Im curious about Orkut and I wonder what you people think. As you know Orkut is social networking site operated by Google. Its less popular than Facebook or Myspace and Twitter. Theres a chance that they can become more popular than Facebook? What do you think?
Re: Orkut
It does what facebook has done. I guess it still lacks the creativity of Google
Re: Orkut
Also, it is loosing the popularity what it had before.
Nowadays many of the users are switching from Orkut to Facebook.
Re: Orkut
It was one of my most visited site in the past. But due to google's greedyness of earning out of everything disappointed me. U can see advertisements all over the places now. Even i have a project on orkut which has the VERY FIRST google ranking which is widely known as "Orkutrix.com". But i hardly check my orkut Once in a month :eek: now. :)
Re: Orkut
yeah now a days i am on facebook for most of the time , orkut should be changed and should come in a new avatar ...
Re: Orkut
I think Facebook & Twitter is very popular now. I also be on more time with facebook.

The slow economic recovery hasn't helped some state legislatures deal with their crippled budgets.
A new report says state leaders may have to cut more services to deal with dwindling help from the federal government and a slow recovery in tax revenue.
States will spend about $43 billion in economic stimulus money during the current fiscal year, which ends June 30. After that, they will probably have to get by with less federal help.
The report from the National Governors Association and the National Association of State Budget Officers warned of "extremely tight fiscal conditions for states" as federal support winds down.
Critics of the economic stimulus legislation note that it failed to prevent a large jump in the unemployment rate. But the report credited the money with helping states avoid "draconian cuts" to Medicaid, education, and other programs.
Before Congress passed the stimulus, states relied on the federal government to cover a little more than a quarter of their spending. That share has increased to nearly 35 percent, according to the report based on a survey of state budget officials.
Some states were already forced to make mid-year budget cuts. Of the states that made cuts this year, 35 reduced spending on elementary and secondary education and 32 lowered spending on higher education.
Transportation faced the fewest cuts, the report revealed.
Not all state budget offices have completed their forecasts. But at least 23 states anticipate budget deficits totaling $40.5 billion by 2012.

The summary below is from the full report titled "Association of Hemoglobin A1c with Cardiovascular Disease and Mortality in Adults: The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer in Norfolk." It is in the 21 September 2004 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine (volume 141, pages 413-420). The authors are K.-T. Khaw, N. Wareham, S. Bingham, R. Luben, A. Welch, and N. Day.
Diabetes interferes with the body's ability to store energy from food. The pancreas makes a substance called insulin that helps the body turn food into stored energy. Type 1 diabetes (juvenile diabetes) occurs when the pancreas stops making insulin. In type 2 diabetes (adult-onset diabetes), the body makes adequate amounts of insulin but cannot use it normally. In both cases, the result is high blood sugar levels. Over time, high blood sugar levels can lead to a number of complications, including blindness, kidney failure, nerve damage, and cardiovascular disease (heart disease and stroke). Fortunately, good care with diet, exercise, and medications to control blood sugar levels clearly prevents or delays the development of diabetes-related blindness, kidney failure, and nerve damage. The relationship between blood sugar control and cardiovascular disease is less clear. Glycosylated hemoglobin concentration is a blood test that measures blood sugar control over the previous 3 months.
To determine whether glycosylated hemoglobin levels are associated with cardiovascular disease and death from any cause in adults with and without with diabetes.
4662 men and 5570 women who were 45 to 79 years of age and who lived in Norfolk, United Kingdom. The people in this study were participating in a larger study of cancer risks.
During 1995 to 1997, the researchers collected blood specimens to measure glycosylated hemoglobin levels and asked patients about cardiovascular risk factors, such as smoking, high blood pressure, and diabetes. The researchers then followed patients through 2003 and collected information about who developed cardiovascular disease (such as heart disease or stroke) and who died.
During the study, 806 people developed cardiovascular disease and 521 died. The greater a person's glycosylated hemoglobin levels were at the start of the study, the more likely they were to develop cardiovascular disease or die. The level of glycosylated hemoglobin was associated with these events, even in people who did not have diabetes and who had glycosylated hemoglobin levels within the normal range.
This study cannot determine whether treatment to lower glycosylated hemoglobin levels would lower a person's chance of cardiovascular disease or death.
Glycosylated hemoglobin levels are associated with cardiovascular disease and death, even among people who do not have diabetes.

Anti-Israel Activity on American College Campuses
Posted: October 15, 2004
Support for Violence
Antiwar and Anti-Israel
Radical Speakers
Support for Violence
Harassment and Intimidation
Opposing Israel's Security Fence
Acknowledging Bias and Preventing Intimidation
While blatant calls for violence against Jews are not the norm, some college campuses have been subjected to explicit demonstrations of support for Islamic terrorists or for violence against Jews.
In June 2004, a radical opinion piece appeared in
, the University of California, Irvine, Muslim student paper, supporting the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas and calling Israelis "enemies of Allah." The article justified Hamas terrorism, which it said is directed against "the evils of Shaytan (Satan) and the enemies of Allah." The article, written by a fifth year history student, asserted that the "only solution to the Zionist situation is through military force, which is espoused by Hamas, [Hezbollah], Islamic Jihad, and other Islamic resistance organizations."
Also in June, an editorial in
The Dartmouth
exposed anti-Semitic passages found on Al-Nur, the Dartmouth Muslim Student Association Web site. The editorial cited several inflammatory passages from the Al-Nur site, including part of a hadith (a sacred saying of Muhammad) that read: "The Messenger of Allah said, 'The Last Hour will not come until the Muslims fight against the Jews, until a Jew will hide himself behind a stone or a tree, and the stone or the tree will say: 'O Muslim, there is a Jew behind me. Come and kill him.'" After the editorial was published, Al-Nur removed the material and apologized. Al-Nur's president, Dale Corea, argued that the site did not reflect anti-Semitic beliefs. "We don't share those anti-Semitic views at all," Correa said. "They're not our opinions; they're something we put up for research purposes only."
In May 2004, students at Georgia State University in Atlanta found Arabic posters on campus calling for "Christians and Muslims to rise up and kill Jews."
On April 18, 2004, the group
held its annual convention at Hunter College in New York City. Convention attendees marched to the Israeli consulate from Hunter College to protest the killing of Abdel Aziz Rantisi, leader of Hamas. The rally was organized by Al-Awda,
New Jersey Solidarity
, and the extreme left wing International Action Center. Abbas Hamideh, a coordinator for Al-Awda, told a crowd that Rantisi "was a leader who defended and fought for Palestinian rights." Signs waved by the crowd included "What's next Sharon. Ovens!! [sic]", "Globalize the Intifada," and "All of Israel is 'occupied territory.'" The Neturei Karta was also present. An Al-Awda representative, Rama Kased, later told the
Workers World
that "Abdel Aziz Rantisi was a son of Palestine, a refugee, and a symbol of resistance against a racist apartheid regime."

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. -- Leaders in pentecostal and charismatic community of Christianity gathered in Virginia Beach, Va., for the Converge 21 USA conference this week to discuss ways to bring a new generation to Jesus Christ.
The conference brought together leaders, scholars, and next generation voices to discuss and pray for the future of the Holy Spirit-empowered movement in the United States.
Participants gathered to listen to the Holy Spirit and learn more about God's work in the 21st century.
Watch Converge 21 Conference Services LIVE at 7:30 p.m. ET Friday, March 2.
Well-known pentecostal leader Rev. Jack Hayford shared words of wisdom for the next generation.
"The phrase, 'the spirit of the Lord,' in the scriptures is describing a distinct work of the Holy Spirit, where He comes to manifest Jesus as Lord," Hayford said.
"There's a spirit of power, a spirit of counsel, a spirit of might, and there's a spirit of the Lord," he explained. "And that's where He's saying, 'I'm here to make sure that you keep Jesus Lord. Keep open to this part of His ministry.'"
Despite the negative headlines about today's youth, the conference speakers agreed that the future of the movement looks bright, and that the next generation is carrying the torch.
Pastor Kristopher Gonzalez, 23, said he has been witnessing signs, wonders, and healings among his peers through the power of the Holy Spirit.
"The Holy Spirit is key to reaching young people today. We live, and this is statistically proven, we live in the most spiritual generation, not necessarily Christian, but the most spiritual generation," Gonzalez told CBN News.
"And the way to engage the young adults today is through the supernatural," he said.
Next generation leader Tim Ross agreed.
"This is no longer a situation where the baton is being passed. It's been passed. That responsibility is now in our hands, and it is up to us to hold onto the traditions of our fathers while we continue to perpetuate pentecostalism and charismatic movement in America," he noted.
Conference attendee Jay Mooney also ministers to young people.
"God is supernaturally raising up a movement of young people like I have never seen in 27 years of student ministry, ever," he said. "It is as if the spirit of God is just beckoning this to happen."
--Originally aired March 2, 2012.

Silly String Assault: Mistrial
A high school student accused of spraying his principal with blue and green silly string is off the hook, after a San Francisco judge declared a mistrial Thursday, reports the Associated Press. Jurors deliberated for three hours but couldn't reach a verdict on assault charges against Steven Babb, now 19. He stood accused of spraying his former Vintage High School dean Andrew Herron with the silly string during commencement exercises. Babb said he was simply reveling in the post-commencement atmosphere. He said he later apologized to Herron "for any embarrassment or injury but not for the act itself." Prosecutors described it as a sustained, point-blank attack. "(Babb) directed the stream of one can up his nose and another at his eyes," Prosecutor Gary Lieberstein said, adding that he believed Babb's conduct was immature but said his office would drop the case. "There are certainly more serious cases than this," he said.

It came down to this: An Atlanta Braves pitcher threw at Dale Murphy.
Yes, Dale Murphy, the man who all but owns the city of Atlanta (and the state of Georgia, for that matter) and was hugged, kissed and applauded just over two weeks ago at Fulton County Stadium. Granted, Braves starter Tom Glavine did it as gently as possible - throwing four slow-as-syrup pitches to the inside, none holding any danger - but he threw at Murphy nonetheless. And that fact alone tells you how deep the bad blood runs between the Phillies and the Braves at this point.
