Hi every one that was me the first week I came home, I was about 9 weeks old and very tiny. I got sick and needed alot of care and several vet visits and antibiotics, my person would try to get me to eat by mixing food and heating it up and puting it on her finger. Well I ate and got well and began to grow. I am a respectable looking platinim point Tonkinese. Mom says me being so ill eased the pain she had over Bonnie Skye, a natural mink tonkinese, that died a month earlier. Because all the care and concern she had for me helped her bond with me. I was busy bonding with Romeo, a 4 yr old domestic short hair. When I came into the house I was so glad to see a cat , I ran right over to him. He showed me the ropes and groomed me. I was cold when I was little so I slept on a heat pad or on Romeo . Some times I curled up on my new Mom's neck. When the Vet saw me he said I was a head with big deep blue eyes and no body. But now I have a great looking, muscular body. I am a climber and a jumper and boy am I fast. Below is apicture of me asleep next to Romeo. 4Feb 2006. I rule the house now. I know all the places to hide. I have been here for a year!

Lot # 1338 (of 1525) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
Samuel Francis Smith My Country 'Tis of Thee Handwritten & Signed Lyrics
Starting Bid - $1,000.00, Sold For - $1,508.00
In 1831, while translating a German song ("God Bless Our Native Land") into English for a friend, Samuel Francis Smith (1808-1895) became enamored with the melody, and decided to write lyrics for it celebrating the United States. The result of that effort was "America (My Country 'Tis of Thee)," a classic of patriotism which has become a part of America's national identity, and is revered and sung to this day. Offered is a beautiful manuscript on a single sheet (4.75 x 8 inches) of the first verse of the lyrics to "America," signed and dated, all in Smith's hand. In full, the page reads: "America, My country 'tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing; Land where my fathers died, Land of the pilgrims' pride, From every mountain side, Let freedom ring , S.F. Smith, 1832-1879." In black fountain pen with flawless penmanship and signature ("10"), this verse was no doubt penned as a special keepsake for an admirer. Shading around the perimeter indicates that this page was displayed for many years in a matted frame. The sheet has a light vertical and horizontal mailing fold and a few pinpoint edge tears, and there is some tape on the perimeter of the reverse related to its framing. Otherwise in Excellent condition. These minor imperfections have little or no impact on the display value of the piece, which has been carefully preserved since 1879 precisely because of its significance. "America" was first performed at a July 4th celebration in Boston in 1831. It is still sung today by school children across the nation and remains one of this country's most enduring hymns. Ideal for framing, this signed verse is a unique tribute to the spirit of America, and a magnificent nineteenth-century offering from an early American patriot. When Samuel Francis Smith died in 1895, "America" was sung at his funeral. LOA from James Spence, Steve Grad & John Reznikoff/PSA DNA. Reserve $1,000. Estimate $2,000/$3,000. SOLD FOR $1,508.00

Sorry guys! Posted this in the wrong thread. DUR.
I made the Primal Nutella a few weeks ago and MAJORLY failed. Apparently I find the taste of Stevia appalling. So I made a second batch. The texture isn't right but I think I know why. The problem is that it's pretty nutty tasting. Is there a way to cut that bitterness? I have had an awful lot of food failures lately and am getting a bit discouraged so any help would be appreciated.
The recipe was a cup of Hazel nuts, 1.5 TBS cocoa powder, coconut oil for the consistency and sweetener which I went with a tad bit of simple syrup and honey because I LOATHE Stevia.
Sorry guys! Posted this in the wrong thread. DUR.
I'll answer anyway....I'd use xyliol. it'd be perfect.
Also, soak the hazelnuts first. You'll get that tannin-y taste out and the nuts will be much more mellow and sweet.
Stats as of 3/1/12:
5'10" female, 38 y/o
Currently 140 lbs., approx 25% body fat
WEIGHT GOAL: lose a bit more body fat and tighten up the rear end...basically, I want to look great naked. Everywhere else is looking great, but my ass/hips/thighs are being a bit stubborn. TMI?

We know when spring is here because tiny blades of green emerge, all the bugs get busy and baby animals dot the scenery.
This is a magical season of rebirth and renewal, growth, new beginnings and discovery.
There are couples who plan for spring babies because they feel that there are certain advantages to having a baby in the spring. While we like winter too, it certainly has its disadvantages. Other families might discover that they're adding a new "spring" chick to their nest and happily chirp the good news.
Either way, babies are welcome any time of year.
Five Wonderful Things About a Spring Time Baby
1. You won't be pregnant during the stifling summer months! When you have a baby generating heat, you feel hot all the time. It's so much more appealing not be sweating for two during July and August.
2. Just when you're feeling up to be out and about, the world bursts into bloom all around you. You can go for walks, garden with the baby snuggled in a sling or head to a cook out. By the time winter rolls around, your tiny newborn's become a substantial, healthy babe who can wear cute little suits with bear ears, sit and flail arms in the snow and smile.
3. You don't have to bundle up against the cold. This certainly makes dressing your baby easier. The warmer weather allows your baby easier access for nursing. You can wear a nursing tank top instead of a nursing tank top buried under five pounds of other heavy winter clothing.
4. Flu season varies by location but generally runs from late fall to early spring. With the warmer weather, your baby's risk of developing RSV and other colds diminishes. It's a relief to know your tiny baby's missed the worst time for getting sick.
5. If you have older kids, they can stay busy outside. That equals less stress, drama and cleaning for you and baby. Speaking of outside -- outdoor lighting rules! Take advantage and get some great photos of your spring babe.
Spring Inspired Baby Names
One of the first gifts to your child can be giving her a name that reminds you of spring and sunshine. From the more common season references like Spring, Robin and April to those that require a bit more research, like Yasmine, you can find just the right spring name to match your new baby.
Do you have a favorite "spring" name on your list? Here are some nifty ones to think about.
- Cerelia is Latin for spring.
- Beryl, derived from Greek, means spring child or sunny child.
- Jarek is spring in Slavic. Other names that refer to the season are Haruki, Alvern, Kell and Dennis .
- Navin means new in Hindi.
- Marcus, means dedicated to Mars. The month March is named for Mars, a Roman god.
- Chloe embodies all that spring mean. In French, chloe is a young, green sprout.
- Patrick is Latin for noble and associated with March 17.
- Lief brings to mind a young tree bursting with buds. Scandinavian in origin, it means "heir" or "loved."
- Phoebe is a bird that those in the north welcome early each spring.
Having a Spring Baby Shower
Oh, the baby shower ideas suggested by spring colors and themes!
- Garden tea party
- Saint Patrick's Day
- April showers
- Dragon flies and butterflies
- Spring training and everything baseball
- Ducklings in a row
Spring Babies Love Sunshine
Spring babies are addicted to sunshine! Even before they're born they need the warm golden rays and vitamin D.
Research suggests that babies who incubate during the winter months have a higher risk of some conditions.
So while that wee one's baking, brave the winter weather and get out once in a while. Just a little sun will do your spring baby a world of good.
Do you have a spring baby or one on the way? What fun activities are you hatching?

By Karlee WeinmannLaw360, New York (August 23, 2013, 1:24 PM EDT) -- California drugmaker Amgen Inc. wants to pay less than the $9.5 billion buyout offer it made earlier this month for Onyx Pharmaceuticals Inc. after the target company held back on distributing clinical trial data for a highly touted cancer treatment plodding toward regulatory approval in the U.S. and Europe, according to a Friday report from Bloomberg. Some reports have indicated that Onyx bowed to Amgen pressure to release the data, which it had feared could violate patient privacy and disrupt the approval process for its latest...

Apple is going with "Won't somebody think of the children?".
I suspect that the numerous requests from the NSA weren't about missing children.
I wonder who wrote their script?
Apple has joined Facebook and Microsoft in revealing it has received thousands of requests for sensitive user data from US investigators in less than a year. And like the two other giants, the fruity computer company is vague about the details. A statement from Cupertino marks another attempt to diffuse the ongoing row over …
Apple is going with "Won't somebody think of the children?".
I suspect that the numerous requests from the NSA weren't about missing children.
I wonder who wrote their script?
Read the text carefully - most numerous requests != request for the most data.
There is a fundamental problem here - the law postulates that Apple is not allowed to tell the truth.. The Patriot act is _EXTREMELY_ clear on that. It is a variety of the Liar's Paradox so no way out here until the law is changed.
Or to put it in a British context;
How many Brazillians has the met shot this year?
The majority of calls to the police are to deal with lost kittens or asking a local bobby the time.
"Apple is going with "Won't somebody think of the children?"."
Hey, their customers bought the iWhatever off them. It was 2x or 3x more expensive than an equivalent device to do the same thing.
Why shouldn't they swallow that line?
AFAIK none of these corporations has said that they must lie about NSA backdoors by law and any queries should be referred to the US government. That would probably be the best way to show trustworthiness (if it could be shown), talking about Alzheimer sufferers and children or the privacy of iMessage, FaceTime, map searches, location details and Siri requests are just more lies amongst many.
"AFAIK none of these corporations has said that they must lie about NSA backdoors by law and any queries should be referred to the US government."
Because it's probably illegal to tell anyone you are bound by such an agreement.
I suppose you could beat them with logic.
Ask Google, "if I asked Amazon were they being forced to lie about national security letters, would they say yes?"
Why are leaving Google out Eadon?
Is it not possible that MS were simply the first company to be asked?
Also, from what I can gather, the data Microsoft provided consists mainly of information regarding people's Microsoft accounts which, prior to Windows 8, were completely disconnected from one's OS. All the files on my PC, except for any that were in SkyDrive, are completely unknown to Microsoft therefore making your statement of switching to Linux to avoid such information being hoovered up completely erroneous.
MS have the same amount of data on a Windows user using their MS account online (Outlook, skydrive, etc) as they do a Linux user using an MS account online (all 2 of them). Last I checked they didn't send your local search queries to Amazon against your will without allowing you to turn it off, unlike a certain Linux distribution...
Some of the points you make in this and other posts are actually quite valid, but your continuing paranoid-delusional bias against MS completely ruins your credibility.
Not too long ago MS was also the largest email provider on the planet. Plenty of people still use Hotlook (or whatever they're calling it). It only stands to reason that terrorists would use the most popular email service of the Great Satan against them.
Besides, we all know that exploding yourself at church or at the market requires years of intense planning and intelligence gathering. Terrorists who migrated to Gmail may have left clues about their groundshaking plans buried in old accounts.
All modern IT corporations and indeed devils like Monsanto are nightmarish in how powerful they are, with that power coming from plebs with facebook profiles and twitter accounts freely giving away information because "they have nothing to hide" yet are shocked at being snooped on!
People really are thick as pigs s**t!
Eadon is actually a sock-puppet of Microsoft PR, he spouts hyperbolic nonsense and makes linux users look like loonies, and he brings out the rational voices in support of M$.
It shouldn't work as well as it does.
Also, from what I can gather, the data Microsoft provided consists mainly of information regarding people's Microsoft accounts which, prior to Windows 8, were completely disconnected from one's OS.
Not necessarily. Windows XP had a "feature" where you could link your XP user to your MS/Passport/Live/whatever account. A lot of people did link their accounts, so extracting stuff from such PCs would give out as much info as the win8 linkage.
Oh, talking about old MS OS ... remember NSAKEY?
My credibility is now vindicated yet again with correct analyses.
The only "vind" you will ever get near is vindaloo. You're attempting to use the same trick as truth sayers: the habit of the human mind to only flag success (more about that can be found in the Full Facts of Cold Reading if you're interested, considerably more fascinating than your public self delusions).
You had a much better opportunity if you said that Microsoft stands accused of providing the NSA with zero day vulnerabilities. That doesn't vindicate you either, because the NSA will have found the Linux ones without any help as it's Open Source and thus easy to get hold of without anyone the wiser.
Please feel free to resume your ranting. You presently have a fairly low S/N ratio so you're becoming a bit like the Sun trashpaper: 99% rubbish, but read for either the comics or page 3*. And I suspect you're more radio material than page 3.
(*) I'm being a tad unfair here - its sports section is apparently of a better quality than the rest.
You want to consider the origins of Hotmail. It and Yahoo Mail and AOL (I think) all became operational in the mid '90s. Before that we had netcom.com and a couple of other services that have since vanished away, or we connected through a local ISP. As I recall a lot of us thought that ideas like AOL, Yahoo and Hotmail and MSN weren't all that bright an idea if you were really interested in anonymity on the internet. I recall explaining to a lot of hand-waving little dears, while manning the hell desk, that you really didn't need to be a "member" of Yahoo or AOL, that a web browser and a knowledge of the http address a search engine like Altavista were all you really needed to navigate the web, and that they could quite easily use the email address the company had assigned them for any email communications they needed to make. That was got me started reading BOFH and User Friendly.
Ah yes, NSAKEY, exactly what I'd call my shady back door for the NSA were I to put one into my product. These arguments are typical conspiracy theorist rubbish, they run along the lines of "these guys are really smart, they're spying on you without you knowing" and "they're stupid because they call the secret NSA backdoor "the NSA back door"."
Conspiracy theories is the last thing we need here, because they muddy the water and allow many aspects of what's going on to go undetected in the general conspiracist noise.
Just because a proportion, say 10% (and I'm being generous there), of your paranoid-delusional bias turns out to be kind of true, doesn't make the other 90% of MS ARE $HIT AND EVIL rhetoric any less unfounded.
Maybe after PRISM was 'born', the first case involved someone who had a hotmail address. Maybe they weren't asked first, but were simply the first to comply out of a load of companies who were asked at the same time. It honestly could be any reason, no need to assume at this point that it's an MS being evil reason.
Given the language coming out of Google, Apple and MS - accepting that there may be a certain amount of ass-covering going on - it seems that they didn't really have a lot of choice. If they are bound by laws that prevent them from speaking specifics about the data they have provided, I'd be highly surprised the NSA are just relying on these companies providing the data out of the kindness of their heart. Even if there aren't laws involved, I'd be willing to bet they didn't ask nicely...
MS are just as responsible for their actions as Google, Apple, etc. Disproportionately focusing on Microsoft only serves to let the others off easy.
"...MS are just as responsible for their actions as Google, Apple, etc. Disproportionately focusing on Microsoft only serves to let the others off easy..."
Yup, and all this squabbling from Macfans & Winfans is giving an effective smokescreen diverting attention away from the real villains.
Yep, those deranged egomaniac self-serving arrogant bastards called "Politicians"...
"Our UK government should transition to Linux ASAP to avoid our tax going to pay for systems that are NSA telescopes trained on ourselves"
Who the hell are you to dictate UK government policy?
If I was to be so arrogant, I'd advise them to go with a truly free operating system, not the GPL-restricted Linux
"Eadon is actually a sock-puppet of Microsoft PR, he spouts hyperbolic nonsense and makes linux users look like loonies, and he brings out the rational voices in support of M$.
It shouldn't work as well as it does."
You're right - it's hard now to think about Linux without thinking of loonies like Eaden. I must say, he is doing a good job for his Microsoft bosses
how very, very odd. I think you have this backwards: the NSA tells MS when they have a zero day exploit that is putting the government at risk.
And you of all people to make that mistake.
Seems that Microsoft either have better linked accounts than Facebook/Apple or they are more generous with their answers: approx 5 accounts per request vs. 2 for the others.
Or there was one massive fishing expedition. :-)
Is that the iPhone target market?
You'd need to be a child or have alzheimers to want an iFolly!
I found this yesterday, apart from the nice pun is has some good links for online privacy.
nice but
What if the NSA has black boxes in all ISP's
what would changing from a source with a black box to a new source, whilst ISP has it achieve ?
what if they aren't black boxes? what if they are fairly innocent looking commercial, vendor branded routers, with "someone else" providing the internal electronics & software? Coming soon to a rack near you .... (ok, not soon, but a while ago, and a rack adjacent to you, unless your data centre manager is a complete moron, or in "someone's" pocket)
Why let the iNSAmessage get in the way when you can add a spot of forgetful marketing into the iNSAmessage.
Jobs and now the new team are certainly decsended from Nostradamus.
Nothing direct as ever from Apple.
If you look at the slide it seems that Jobs told them where to go. Apple joined up after his death.
yes, we know all about their direct words.
........to the 3rd door on the left?
So frankly I don't care. However if you are a terrorist and are reading this then seriously you should leave the internet and use the post office mail system for your comms.
<----Anon, because I used terrorist twice, and they might be tracking me.
The fact you are not a terrorist is the heart of the issue. I guess you missed that huh...
Surely if you are not a terrorist then you have nothing to hide, except maybe a few obscure specialist site subscriptions maybe.
...yet. What if the next regime decides to classify something that you indulge in now to be akin to terrorism or aiding in terrorism? Suddenly you would find out you have something to hide, but the interwebs don't forget.
You are however an idiot.
I'll let the other posters explain why.
People who say that they have nothing to hide should be the first in the queue to have their brain implants that monitor all their thoughts. ALL of them, all of the time.
Then tell me you have nothing to hide.
Dear John,
Presumably you walk around with your tin foil hat on and a hoody obscuring your face. You probably have camera resistant number plates and move house every 6 months so that you don't show up on the electoral register. You may of even elected to have some form of surgery so that you can no longer be recognised?
Hmm, probably not. So what are you and all the other posters so afraid of? You have been monitored in some form since your birth. You have been registered on so many systems. Just what kind of activities are you getting up to that are making yourself and a majority of others so paranoid? Yeah I hear all the talk about erosion of privacy and all that. Maybe it's just that your life is more exciting than mine. Maybe you worry about the data that they hold. Me on the other hand am more worried that I'll forget to put the bins out tomorrow. And some how I feel that the "authorities" don't actually care about that soft of thing.
If the next 'regime' wants to classify something that I do as 'terrorism' then they are going to find a lot of people not voting for them in the next election, that's if they manage to get a law passed classifying what I do as terrorism, we do not live in a dictatorship, hell, the US Gov can't even get assault rifles outlawed when it wants to, and the British government are trying their best to make the Police and Military as useless and ineffectual as possible, you think they can just flick a switch and decide everyone wearing glasses is to be rounded up and shot a la Pol Pot?
I have things I want to hide, I just don't do them on the internet…
There's an interesting bit of history from the 1930's in Germany you might want to study. 'We the people' have a history of voting in some stark raving lunatics. Every person who thinks as you do, just waiting for someone else to protest is part of the problem. In a representative democracy you can't wait to vote someone out, you have to take action before the next election: It is incredibly difficult to rollback power.
Yes, the Weimar Republic and its fall is indeed an interesting case, which is why I get irked when Godwin's Law is overused to squash out discussion concerning related topics. It is usually dismissed without taking into account that the worst evil perpetrated by the Nazis was possible because they actually made all those things legal, and even had the Reichstag passing the laws that let them do what they did. Hell, the Enabling Act even had a Patriot Act-ish name to it, the "Law to Remedy the Distress of People and Reich". And it was extended twice as well.
Being able to vote in/out your representatives is useless if they keep on voting for extensions to these things. And even if someone campaigns on a platform promising to take down these things, there's absolutely no guarantee they will follow through their promises.
And it was extended twice as well.
Nice one. A good reference when yet another
sponsor representative politician is trying to pass a law with the use of either "emergency" or "temporary". It always means that there is something in that law which they fear you may object to if you were thinking rationally.
We have more than enough laws to deal with emergencies that do NOT harm the principle of due process, and I have yet to see temporary powers that are either extended indefinitely or turned into law proper on the next possible occasion. Does anyone actually know of an occasion where temporary power handed to the state was handed back? No? Thought so.
You're spot on, their actions were legal, until Nuremberg; but even that only applied after the fighting was over and the winners could make new rules. If all the well examined strategic errors of the Third Reich hadn't been made would those things still be legal? Thankfully we will never know, but a lot of people died to prevent that from being the case.
One of the great things about the way the US was structured is that it is not only a nation of law, but of principals and ideals as well. Over time the principals and ideals have been discarded because they were inconvenient to the application of various laws and that is extraordinarily dangerous. Law, being a definable set of rules, is always subject to manipulation because it is quantifiable and intricately structured. Principals and ideals are ethereal and can hold in check the law simply because they cannot be subject to writ or bull; therefore they must be eliminated. Short sighted men who could not look past their own immediate rewards have caused this world many, many problems.
Those who knowingly keep to the letter of the law and ignore the spirit of it are guilty of treason against the people imho.
True, but if you studied that history a bit more you would know it took an extraordinary set or circumstance, and lack of governmental powers and influence from outside the parliament that lead Hitler being Chancellor, remember he only got 18% of the vote.
"In a representative democracy you can't wait to vote someone out, you have to take action before the next election"
Just like the Nazi's did.
You're using your own argument against yourself. Surely you can do better than that.

As South Carolina awaits word on whether it will be among six FAA-sanctioned drone testing sites, the question arises: Does surveillance make us safer?
A bill in the S.C. House of Representatives would require law enforcement to obtain warrants before they could deploy drones. Theoretically, that would keep law enforcement from buzzing your neighborhood on a whim.
It's a good idea to try to figure this stuff out ahead of time, said Victoria Middleton, ACLU of South Carolina executive director.
"I think it's really good to raise public awareness. They (drones) really do have potential for good," Middleton said, adding: "They really do have to be regulated."
Big Brother or no big deal?
When the Charleston Police Department added more than 30 cameras on the peninsula a couple of years ago, there were similar concerns. The department met with community members and business owners to address concerns, and the ACLU worked with the department on issues like oversight, security and identification.
And Police Chief Greg Mullen said there have been no complaints.
"We've been very open about where we put them," Mullen said. The cameras have helped catch criminals as well as provide evidence, and they allow officers to shift investigative focus.
They also help address a recurring downtown problem: flooding. The police don't have to guess or send a squad car to a flood-prone area to check the status — they can look at the screen instead.
However, police cameras are in a fixed location, and drones would not be, Middleton said.
They're definitely a giant leap forward from security cameras. 3D Robotics CEO Chris Anderson told NPR's Marketplace in February that his company's civilian drones are "just camera phones with wings."
Not everybody feels the same way.
Somebody's watching
As Mullen noted, the Boston bombings are a clear indicator of how much of an asset such surveillance can be.
Go beyond flooding to a major natural disaster and you can see where drones would be really valuable tools.
But there are reasons to be suspicious, or at least cautious, when it comes to new types of surveillance. Mullen says a lot of the fears come from not understanding what the technology is going to do.
But sometimes, the fears turn out to be justified. Google Street View showed us that: The Internet giant's cars driving seemingly benignly through neighborhoods turned out to be not so benignly scraping sensitive data from people's computers.
You know there's a camera at the ATM. You know there are cameras on the peninsula. But with the drones, at least right now, you don't know where they are or when they're watching.
Mullen said if the Legislature says he needs a warrant before sending out a drone, then that's what his department will do, but he's hoping for a more comprehensive, wide-ranging discussion about how best to utilize the technology.
One thing's for sure: No matter how much we value safety, nobody wants to be watched all the time.

POINT PLEASANT BOROUGH — Deep in territory ravaged by Hurricane Sandy, Gov. Chris Christie today picked up the endorsement of a statewide coalition of volunteer firefighters and emergency medical technicians.
The newly created Volunteer Emergency Services for Christie coalition, led by a bipartisan team of leaders and coordinators in all 21 counties, includes officers and rank-and-file members of emergency services groups across the state, according to Christie's reelection campaign.
During a 14-minute speech outside the Point Pleasant Borough Volunteer Fire Co. No. 2, Christie emphasized the need for these local volunteers and highlighted what he called a legislative attack two years in a row on emergency services. He did not identify the political party (Democrat) or the lead sponsor of the bill (Assemblyman Herb Conaway of Burlington County) he vetoed in 2012 and again in May that would have set training standards for all first responders and regulate how emergency medical services are provided in this state.
"There have been a number of attempts in the legislature to make an assault on the EMS community in this state to try to find a way to get rid of volunteer EMS folks, to try to unionize the EMS system – all for political purposes," Christie said. "And it's been attempted twice now by the folks in the legislature and twice I have stood up and said 'Absolutely no way are we going to do that. We're not going to do that in New Jersey.'"
He praised all volunteer emergency personnel for stepping in where others won't go.
"They respond every day, no matter what the call is for, no matter what you're in need on, they don't ask. They get going and they get it done for you. We saw that during Sandy. But not just during storms like that – a hurricane – we see it in the every day, back-and-forth of our lives."
"That's not something we should be trying to get rid of in New Jersey. That's something we should be trying to encourage and honor in New Jersey," he added.
He pledged continuing support to them and promised to ward off legislative initiatives that could harm their ranks.
"When they're under attack I will stand in front of them to make sure that attack does not come through ever from the state legislature," he said.
The coalition's statewide leadership team is comprised of Secaucus Mayor Michael Gonnelli, former chief of that town's volunteer fire department; Howard Meyer, president of the New Jersey First Aid Council; and Frank Smith, captain of the Moonachie First Aid & Rescue Squad.
The coalition also has a member from a volunteer fire and emergency medical services squad from each of the 21 counties.

The United States Hockey Hall of Fame announced that former Red Wings defenseman Derian Hatcher and his brother Kevin, both Sterling Heights, MI natives, would join the US HHOF's ranks on October 21st of this year, and the Hatchers talked to NHL.com's Mike G. Morreale about their co-inductions...
July 22, NHL.com: "People would always ask, do you think you'll have an opportunity to play on the same team (as your brother) and I would most often say, 'More than likely, not,'" Kevin Hatcher said. "There are 30 teams in the NHL, so there's not going to be good chance that we'll end up in the same city, but I was wrong since we did play together a couple of years in Dallas."As well as the fact that Derian broke fellow inductee Jeremy Roenick's jaw while the opponents played for the Dallas Stars and Phoenix Coyotes, respectively, as Yahoo Sports' Greg "Puck Daddy" Wyshynski noted:
The brothers played together for two seasons with the Stars, beginning in 1994-95.
"It's a real honor to have my brother inducted alongside me," Kevin Hatcher said. "When he told me he was getting inducted at same time, I thought it was unbelievable because it'll be some weekend in Buffalo. To be able to play in all the international games with him, starting back with the World Cup and the Olympics … it meant a lot. I was there for him and he was there for me in different ways and now we'll be there for each other on Oct. 21."
July 22, Yahoo Sports: "I knew people were coming after me. I knew I was targeted. I knee I was going to feel pain," said Roenick. "Never did Derian go out there to break my jaw or get my knee. Derian goes out there and just plays hard hockey. He's passionate. He's extremely big and strong. Never have I held any kind of bad or ill feelings [towards Derian]."
He said they've never spoken about the incident, which made today's indirect discussion a bit of a landmark.
"I never went out with the intention of hurting you," said Derian Hatcher, who was suspended for two regular season and five playoff games for the illegal hit. "He never says a word about it, and I think that's a testament to Jeremy. He understands it's a game out there."
As for Derian's post-hockey career, NHL.com's Brian Compton reports that Derian works as a player development coach for the Philadelphia Flyers, the team with which he concluded his career, and at this point, he's relishing the time he spends with his two sons, who are involved in youth hockey in Detroit:
July 22, NHL.com: These days, Hatcher is passing his experiences on to younger players, including his two sons, Chase and Kelton. Hatcher was able to coach Chase during the 2010 OHL Cup Showcase Tournament in March, an experience that was memorable for father and son.
"I'm so glad I got to coach my sons," Hatcher said during a conference call Thursday after being announced as a member of the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame's Class of 2010. "I think sometimes watching them play, I might get frustrated or something, but I'm just glad I had the chance. I'll continue coaching this year, both of them."
And Hatcher's thrilled with the development of youth hockey in Detroit over the past twenty years:
"They have five teams in the Detroit area that can go anywhere and play," he said. "I coach minor hockey now, as well as Kevin does. Anytime you play a team from Detroit, you always know you're getting in a good game. I think that's a testament to this area. They love hockey. It's been proven."

It may mean nothing to the eventual increase in Goog. A slight dip is expected after his sales.
But long term Goog is still a long term buy. Just my HO.
Laylow, can you share the link that says this was "announced" in Nov? Announced to whom? I can only see where GooG says it was"planned" in Nov. thx
I'm waiting
GOOG's projected growth for next 5 years is 13%.
GOOG is overvalued currently since 13 times 2014 estimate of $53.40
equals $695.
Glad I sold remaining holdings at $793.22 today (sold previously around
Sentiment: Strong Sell
P.S. I'm very surprised to see this reaction after hours. Everyone of any financial sense knew that this was planned months ago.
This so will pass after a few days or weeks.
Up after the sales. The key will be how many institutions will back fill the sales in the next week.
If it drops 10 of more points I may be concerned.
If less than 10 points I will feel comfortable for the long term.
MM will be put to work after this announcement. lets just hope MM let this one drop. market overbougt. this news from goog should trigger a correction.....
This stock was overdue for a pullback....the insider sale was nothing more than a needed catalyst.
It will be down 10 bucks pre-market on Monday......expect it goes down another 20-30 by OP EX.

Did you feel that breeze today? That was no summer wind, friends, that was the crisp air of fall making it's way to a street near you (that is, for you Northern Hemisphere guys). Fall means changing colors, changing temps and changing your wardrobe…a little.
Fall presents a unique sartorial challenge. The temperatures will start to dip a bit and sometimes, unpredictably – it'll test the versatility of your wardrobe. The air might be cool and windy but the sun still shines through, so it's warm during the day but much cooler at night. You need to stay suited up for work but the typical suit and shirt combo might not be warm enough. At the same time, it's not yet time to don the overcoat or a trench. What's a well-dressed man to do?
Layer. The thin layers of fall is the smartest way to warm up a suit and tie look. We've rounded up three looks for three different types of guys. Each has a unique personality, unique style, and now, a unique way to add a layer of warmth without sacrificing style.
You may be a stone cold negotiator, you may have ice in your veins when you have to make tough business decisions, but there's no reason you should freeze your ass off on the way to the office.
Add a richly hued, merino wool V-neck to a gray suit for an uber-classy look. This look will not only keep you warm, it's appropriate in both business formal and business casual settings. Just remember to keep the sweater neutral, like the taupe one featured here and use accessories to dash your outfit with color – i.e., your tie or pocket square.
Why it Works: A merino wool sweater like the one featured here is thin, yet warm and soft, yet durable so it makes an ideal layering fabric.
You're a business man, but maybe you're a business man in a creative field or maybe you're just a business man who likes to think creatively. So, you believe in good form, but not without good function. And layering up with a puffer vest under your suit is fashion forward, but extremely practical…especially on those windy fall days.
The key to mashing up formal and casual (like this look here) is not to split your look 50/50 but to choose one element of casual wear to mix in with an otherwise formal look. Don't shy away from ties and pocket squares, hell, even a French cuff shirt would play. All of these more formal touches add interest and make the interplay between the vest and the outfit even stronger. And if you need to revert back to strictly business, just lose the vest.
Why it Works: A thick vest would push against a well-fitting jacket, but a thin one like this works because it doesn't make you look stuffed inside the jacket.
You're an artist and a stylish one at that. You know how to effectively convey complex ideas and emotions through different artistic mediums – it might be pictures, graphics or words…but definitely through your clothes as well.
The cardigan sweater is a layering tool that provides ultimate versatility – it's a creative way to dress down a formal outfit or dress up a casual one. When wearing it under a suit jacket, think of it almost like a vest…but a casual one. Since a cardigan is cut with a lower button stance, it allows you to keep your jacket, shirt and tie as the primary focal points, which means that there's no limit to what you can do with the colors and patterns of your outfit.
Why it Works: The buttons on the front of this sweater and jacket, along with a polka-dot tie create a repeating circle motif that helps tie together the various colors and keeps the look fun.
Find Yourself – Shop The Looks
If you see some of yourself above, here's where to get the goods.
The Strictly Business man wears a Charcoal Gray Custom Suit, Charcoal Lavender Striped Tie and a White Solid Twill Weave Custom Dress Shirt, all by Black Lapel. Sweater by Uniqlo.
The Business Creative man wears a Charcoal Gray Custom Suit, by Black Lapel. Tie by Brooks Brothers. Pocket Square by Everett. Vest by Uniqlo.
The Strictly Creative man wears a Navy Blue Custom Blazer a Blue Solid Broadcloth Custom Dress Shirt and a Solid White Pocket Square by Black Lapel. Tie by Burma Bibas. Sweater by Uniqlo.
Which one of these guys most represents you? Leave a comment below with how you're planning to layer up this fall.

Ive had the free version for awhile. I bought ZoneAlarm Pro 5 just now (I figured what the heck its only $14). So I get home start to install it, and it says what I just bought is an older version of what I had installed, I have to uninstall the previous version, and it exits. I uninstall the old ZoneAlarm, restart the computer, put the CD back in, and now the only option it gives me is 'Uninstall ZoneAlarm'. WTF is that:confused: I went into the registry to delete zonealarm stuff hoping that would help, but its had no effect. What the hell could be the problem?:mad:

"Dear Janice: Are there any places where you would specifically recommend that diners try to leave room for dessert -- because it's so darn good?"
That's the question from last week (when we talked about dessert etiquette) that I saved for now, when I have more space to answer.
Making these choices takes more courage than I have sometimes, if it comes to that. It is hard to choose from the many places in Western New York that serve calorie-worthy stuff -- as I am sure readers will remind me. (Feel free to make use of the email address below; I'm happy to share your culinary favorites.)
Meantime, I am going to dive into the best desserts right now. Oh, what a wonderful image!
The Halvah Parfait at the Falafel Bar, 3689 Sheridan Drive, Amherst: An amazing combination of tahini (sesame seed paste), honey, whipped cream and meringue that is whipped up and semifrozen before being served with creme anglaise (custard sauce).
The genius stroke here is the use of meringue to lighten the mixture. For those of us who really don't care for Halvah (the sesame confection that's wrapped like a candy bar), this dessert is a revelation.
Rice Pudding at the Towne Restaurant, 186 Allen St., and many other Greek restaurants. I prefer the Towne's a teeny bit because I first tasted this dessert there 101 years ago and fell in love. I had been moved to try it because, as a kid, I loved A.A. Milne's poem of the same name featuring a temperamental little girl named Mary Jane. I was fascinated by the accompanying E.H. Shepard sketch of her midmeltdown -- she had been served too much rice pudding, you see.
But that is silly. You can't have too much rice pudding, and you can now find it all over Western New York. I like a raisin or two in there and lots of vanilla (easy on the cinnamon).
Do you notice a certain theme emerging here? Many of my favorites don't seem to require the use of teeth. Let us now move out of the mushy department and try something heftier.
Layer cakes at Vino's, 1652 Elmwood Ave. You can see them as soon as you enter this small restaurant. Gorgeous creations under see-through domes are displayed atop the bar. Co-owner Kathleen Cangianiello bakes them every day. That means the cakes are fresh and moist, with plenty of frosting, too. If available, try the coconut.
And the near-legendary Peanut Butter Pie at Schimschack's, 2943 Upper Mountain Road, Sanborn. This one will stay with you for a while. I mean, a mixture of crunchy peanut butter and cream cheese is not exactly a puff of air. And yet, and yet -- it is rich and sweet and oh so good. Nice to savor while gazing at distant Toronto.
Send your favorite dessert suggestions, and your dining-out questions to longtime News restaurant reviewer Janice Okun at email@example.com.

Police are searching for a suspect caught on surveillance video attempting to launch a Molotov cocktail into a Philadelphia residence, according to a report from CBS Philly.
The man is seen in the video attempting to firebomb the residence on the 2600 block of N Frankford Avenue unsuccessfully five times. The device failed to explode each time but broke the front window of the residence.
Police tell CBS that the incident happened around 2:10 a.m. on Jan. 9. The suspect is described as a male who was wearing a hooded coat with a hooded sweatshirt underneath, a black hat, sweatpants and white shoes, the report said.
The remains of the unsuccessful Molotov cocktail were found on the sidewalk in front of the residence, police said.
Anyone with information should dial 215.686.TIPS (8477) or text a tip to PPD TIP (773847) or call the East Detectives Division (215-686-3243/3244).

Ethiopia: ESFNA Festival in Maryland: Some Observations
By Fekade Shewakena
Ethiopians from all over the United States and other parts of the world including from Ethiopia descended on Washington DC by the thousands during the past July 4 week to be part of the annual weeklong soccer and cultural festival organized by ESFNA (Ethiopian Sports Federation in North America). It was a flood of Ethiopians everywhere that a friend of mine who watched the crowed in downtown Silver Spring said that this is the only instance he knows in history that people from a far away land can invade a place in such huge numbers without an army. Downtown Silver Spring, located some 15 minutes drive from Byrd Stadium of the University of Maryland, where the event was held, was so crowded that, at times, you may even think you are somewhere in Addis Ababa.
The scene at the stadium was simply a colorful celebration of Ethiopia and a show of its culture in all its forms. According to ESFNA officials there were more than one hundred eighty vendors selling all kind of goods and food around the stadium. Seeing many people eating from the same plate, the smell of Ethiopian food and coffee and the loud Marakato-like music coming from every vendor's tent at the same time, nearly blowing your head, gives you the impression that you are somewhere in Ethiopia. The adorable Ethiopian tricolor was splashed everywhere in different forms that it seems the only thing you see all around you is it. Even my little 6 year old, Liya, that I was walking with through the crowed on "Ethiopia Day", demanded that she gets Ethiopia painted on her face and stood me in line for nearly half an hour until her turn comes up. She calls everything green-yellow-red "Ethiopia". She was more beautiful with the tricolor on her face but she also said she needs more "Ethiopia" and made me buy her the Ethiopian soccer team's shirt of her size and a small Ethiopian flag to wave. She was at her happiest when she owned the colors that watching her happy and excited nearly drove me to tears. You know, she is an all American child that has not seen and experienced Ethiopia. She only heard about it and still thinks she belongs to a distant land named Ethiopia and loves it anyway.
Soccer is only the excuse. More people come here for numerous other purposes and be part of the celebration of their culture and their country. There were more people walking the vending area than watch the interstate soccer tournaments in the field. Many people have experiences of finding long lost friends and acquaintances during this ritual. I found mine both this year and in the past. Some, I heard, have found their wives and husbands here. But whether you find anybody or not, struggling to push your way around through the crowed also gives you a special feel. Outside of the stadium and all over the Washington DC metro area, there were probably hundreds of meetings during the week. Political organizations, civic groups, professional associations, alumni associations, 'edirs', charity organizations etc., held their meetings. ESAT has the largest and most crowded fund raising gathering. It probably needs a stadium in the future.
ESFNA that hosted the gathering lived up to its motto of "bringing Ethiopians together". That is all it did. It brought us together and left us to do what we want to do. Its dedication of this year's event to celebrating Ethiopian women and appreciating their plight was a great idea. The Center for the Rights of Ethiopian Women (CREW) was made to stand at the center of the celebration this year representing Ethiopian women. They did a wonderful job of bringing up the plight of our sisters in the Middle East.
The Ups and the Downs:
As the saying goes, no good did go unpunished. Like many things Ethiopian, this beautiful event has not passed without seeing something mind boggling. There was a failed attempt to divide the community and destroy such a beautiful institution built over thirty years of toil, perhaps one of the best Ethiopians ever built in our countries of exile. This was exactly what a splinter group that gave some weird name to itself "AESA one" or as Sheik Mohammed Al Amoudi, in one of his addresses to its members calls it, "Essawa", were trying to do.
With the help of billionaire Sheik Mohamed al Amludi's millions of dollars, the group was trying to organize the same thing at a huge stadium in Washington with identical programs like ESFNA. Some anonymous sick crooks were also writing emails to local government officials, the University of Maryland and the managements of hotels reserved by ESFNA in attempts to sabotage and crash the event. The crooks who wrote the emails under pseudonyms wrote ESFNA is a cheat organization that has no money to fulfill its side of the obligation and advised these organizations to cancel the contracts and any help they may be giving. I have seen these emails with my own eyes as received by these agencies. I hope ESFNA will publish this emails on its website or even find this individuals and expose them to the public. ESFNA organizers were made to climb an unnecessary uphill battle to fight the possible effects of these evil campaigns.
But, thanks to the community, the net result was the opposite of what these dividers intended to do. In fact, the unexpected huge turnout this year is in part explained by the anger this splinter group and the Sheik's efforts have produced in our community. This group deservedly had an empty stadium for a week and a well deserved egg all over their faces at the end of the day. What they did is simply sad. Even if they have a problem within ESFNA, they could have tried to change it from within rather than go out and do this satanic thing.
Why the Sheik got involved in this sham exercise with his millions of dollars is hard to understand. For all I know, he was a supporter of ESFNA for many years in the past and a onetime guest of honor of ESFNA. I can't for the life of me understand why he spends so much money for attempting to destroy this wonderful organization. I don't think he is basically a bad person himself. Perhaps he is fed bad information from bad people. I know many people accuse him of queasiness with regime officials in Addis Ababa which they perceive as a corrupting influence. But I think that is his right. He can believe in any politics of his choice. But trying to destroy our institution in a land where we live as a free people is a different thing all together. In one of their radio advertisements the splinter group even insulted themselves and the entire Ethiopian community by promising to give us free lunch, paid by the Sheik, if we go and attend their event. This is despicable. Come 'on, in America, where food is one of the cheapest things? I almost puked when I heard it. If you are his friend and happen to read this, please tell the honorable Sheik to do a favor for himself and for all of us by stopping this destructive agenda as he promised to continue doing on one of their events. He can get more respect by trying to reconcile divided groups rather than joining in the fray. He should also be told that there are a few things money cannot and should not buy. Just watch the reaction of the crowed on "Ethiopia Day" in this video (see video ) as the singer in the lyrics says something about the meaning of "money without love". It was no doubt the public's reaction to the Sheik's attempts.
The event was a success but there are a few things to be said about everybody to make it better for the future.
ESFNA Management:
There were numerous glitches in the event including people returning from the gates of the stadium for lack of space. There were problems following the daily schedules and meeting obligations as advertised. The public understands that ESFNA officials are doing a hard and difficult job. This year they have to spend quite a lot of time and energy in defending the organization from the splinter group. That obviously takes their attention and time. But they could have added manpower by asking for volunteers and overcome some problems. For the future, they should do a huge reorganization and restructuring of the management and outsource some of their functions to businesses and professionals. They should consult Ethiopians with management expertise for helpful advice on reorganization. We have all kinds of professionals around us that can help voluntarily. Adding the negatives and positives together, ESFNA has done a wonderful job under difficult circumstances. We all should be grateful to all the leaders and Ato Getachew Tesfaye, the president of ESFNA, who had to juggle this monumental task with his tough work schedule. Ato Getachew is a nuclear scientist who has lots of responsibilities at work and travels between Europe and the United States frequently even while he was working on the festival. All the leaders of ESFNA deserve a huge thank you and our respect for what they have done for us and Ethiopia.
The DC Area Businesses:
Most Ethiopian businesses, particularly the restaurants were prepared for the crowed and provided a lot of entertainment. We have heard of some who charged exorbitant prices for their services, obscene in some cases, like selling a bottle of beer for twelve dollars and a single lunch for thirty dollars. We all know that there are additional costs these businesses incur during these times and some price hikes are understandable. Many restaurants employ additional labor, police and security during the week. But thirty dollars for a single lunch? This boarders on the criminal and should never happen again. Such greedy get-rich- quick individuals should know that the community can punish them by boycotting their businesses if they frequent it. Fortunately these are only a handful. There were also many who charged everything at their regular prices and treated their gusts professionally and as though they were doing it in their own homes.
The Crowed:
The crowed was magnificent in every respect. We are all prouder of the dignified way we handled ourselves. There wasn't a single case of violence. There wasn't a single incident of misbehavior or drunk driving or anything of that sort. Not even accidents. The hotels have already started asking when this crowed is going to come back again so that they can prepare for better services. Even the police are wondering how a large crowed of people stay one week together and leave without creating a single incident. Those of us who live in Maryland are grateful for the crowed for positively affecting our lives and giving us a good image in addition to contributing millions of dollars in income to the state. More importantly, we all need to be happy by the unanimity in our rejection of division in any form. Ethiopia was a little more proud of us during the week.
The Ethiopian Government:
No government agency or embassy official of the Ethiopian government was around the stadium. I am told embassy officials chose to go to the empty stadium organized by the splinters ignoring the 99.9% of us who were celebrating Ethiopia at the ESFNA event. That of course is unfortunate and a shame. This event was not a political event as anybody who has been there can attest. ESFNA is a demonstrably non political organization. We also want it to keep out of divisive politics. ESFNA's job should remain bringing us together. All political groups did their events outside the stadium. Of course, they had their tents at the stadium like any other agency would. If we were a lucky country, we would have seen a tent among the nearly 200 tents in the stadium to encourage people to buy bonds for the Abbay dam or demonstrate the project. It is a proof that all this patronizing the Diaspora by the government is about love of our money and not us. I only pray for the day we have a loved government official sitting among us at ESFNA events and celebrating Ethiopia with us.
ESFNA has proven itself that it has become a big institution owned by the community. It is so obvious that ESFNA has outgrown its capacity and the way it is being led. ESFNSA officials could be making a huge mistake if they think the large turnout this year was due to their exclusive efforts. I hope they understand this more than anyone. I am also sure they will be responsive to the public and be a transparent organization especially when it comes to financial matters. There are huge expenses that the public doesn't know. Some think the Organization is amassing money only by looking at the turnout. Make the details public so that we have more trust, respect and love for ESFNA. In as much as possible ESFNA should avoid big money from individuals in the future. We are better of poorer than involving people who want to pull strings though the money they help us with. I am told ESFNA makes better money when it holds the event in Washington DC. If that is the case, I suggest that the 2014 celebration be also held in the DC area. This is just a suggestion to help its financial strength. I also suggest that it open an office with at least one full time employee. It is also good to start preparation for the next event in advance than rush though it during the last one or two months before the occasion.
What a week!! The 30 year anniversary of ESFNA was a blast. Thanks to our brothers who started it thirty years ago and the many who still keep it going.
ESFNA is not anymore a sporting event. Rather it is a fund raising event for ESAT and ginbot 7.
We know it is been hijacked long time ago by the likes of eliass kiftkit, who were seen around with their delusional wish of transitional govt and a collection of X dergue members.
Stop the fantasy losers!
This were Addis Frat opens his filthy mouth out of insecurity and inferiority complex….go ahead Addis Zefen the refugee with no country and a burden to Ethiopia …. it is your turn….
Come on! Ato Fekade Weshetam….it doesn't take 20 days to write this kind of bulshite. I'm pretty sure if you take this to your English teacher you might gate C+ Anyways Just keep it up…. You probably make it for the 40th year anniversary.
Let me ask u this. can u explain, given the argument you make on ur article blablabla….. Observations?
Anyways I'm sorry if kids grown up on your surrounding….
Plz keep out reach of children your self.
Mr. Shewakena,
It is because of selfish and a shortsighted politicians like you the association is divided in to two groups. It used to be one of the venues that bring all kinds and all walks of Ethiopians irrespective of our political, religious, and ethnic affiliation. It is unfortunate of us to be manipulated by greedy politicians who lack the wisdom and vision to see, think and act selflessly, beyond personal goals and narrow political agenda, for the good of all of us. Individuals like Mr. Shawakena have no qualm, have no regard to the type of events or places when they inject their poisons and divisive politics praying on emotions of their unsuspecting victims. Sadly, nothing and no one is spared from their poisons political venom. They have targeted, in-filtered and poisoned the traditionally politically neutral mediums, such as: churches, sport and cultural events and festivals, community centers, etc… Political Activist Shewakena is not ashamed to come out and tell us the success of his cynical mischief of dividing our neutral house.
Those of us who understand today and think beyond tomorrow realize that there will always be differences in political opinion among people of the same nation. But, we also realize that differences should not create divisions. It is also fair to note that there are many individuals who would prefer to avoid to actively participating in politics and avid affiliation to any political group, Left or Right. Don't you think that we should be able to exist together with tolerance and respect to our differences, and preferences? If you ask yourself, in a sober mind, you will find out the many reasons why it was necessary for the original association to stay out from politics, religion and ethnic affiliations. The winners are those few who are principled enough to stand with integrity and refuse emotions and political manipulations dictate them. Weather there is a big turnout or not does not matter much, as it does not heal or mend what has been broken irreversibly – what you have ruined is the common platform that brings all Ethiopians together, what is broken is the commonly agreed and accepted principles and standards that maintains and holds together a diversified community.
In the past, political, religious and ethnically affiliated groups and their members could come and participate as individuals in the festival. They had the right to advertise or call meetings or other activities on the side without using and abusing the association's resources. They were never allowed to hijack the association, the festival, and still the peoples show.
To Mr. fekade, Indeed it was a success for the genuine Ethiopian diaspora and an embarassment for those TPLF looters and their "Sheik".
It was a sharp contrast when on one side the true Ethiopians embrace each other with love, unity and true Ethiopianness, on the other hand,those handful "opportunists" were shamefully had the empty stadium to themselves and the The Gold-looting Sheik
Ethiopian for ever
We shall see a democratic & prosperous motherland soon
Ato Fekade Shewakena used to teach at the University of Addis Ababa. But look at his writing and judge when the Ethiopian education started going south.
The first sentence his article contains several errors besides it being awkward:
"Ethiopians from all over the United States and other parts of the world including from Ethiopia descended on Washington DC by the thousands during the past July 4 week to be part of the annual weeklong soccer and cultural festival organized by ESFNA (Ethiopian Sports Federation in North America)."
I challenge the writer to fix the error and to post the corrected sentence. Tip: No amount of chopping heart sentence effectiveness.
By the way, readers can compare and judge the quality of the writing of Mr. Obang Metho with Fekade Shewakena at http://www.abugidainfo.com/index.php/21638/
Next year there will be NO MUSLIMS at your "sports event".
it will be Ramadan and u can enjoy your all christian amhara orthodox event.
We don't need to agree or disagre here which sport event most Ethiopian people attend with high spirit. The fact speaks volume.The most important thing is that Esfna is based on people contribution where as Aesaone is totally funded by a single individual. We need to develop a culture of doing things collectivly than living by the mercy of the super riches.Whatever may the choice,I wish both brothers comeback together & celebrate their country in union in the comming sport event!
Political power comes out of the barrel of a gun," said Mao. You could try teaching those who disagreed with you, but if that failed you should destroy them.
I do not believe in western toilet soft paper dealing with enemy, I believe in TERMINATING . That include this bullishite Arab terrorist with dikkala blood. I think this bastard has gone too far. In Washington dc ,there are many crack heads and you hire one or two with 100$ uncle Ben ,they do it well. Now, that Arab haalamuzii will shit in his pant when he read this.
By the way, who the flu#€¥ck is he? I will dig his background,including his DNA in Jerusalem .
@ c'est moi senait je vous aim bocup bocup —— let me say this c'moi senait I love you girl you are our hero guess what I was in Washington DC I NEVER SEE AN WANTED IMBARESSMENT TO ( AESAONE ) WHERE THEY GET THIS IDEA FROM I DONT KNOW COZ FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS I REMEMBER BACK IN 80S FROM CALIFORNIA THE FOUNDER OF ESFNA LIKE BERHANU / FROM HUSTEN FIKRU LEMA FROM SANDEIGO TESFAYE FROM SAN DEIAGO THERE ARE LOT MORE GREAT ETHIOPIANS THAT WE NEVER FORGET THEIR SACRIFICE
Ato Kassa Abebe:
Please clearly show us which part of Fekade Shewagne writing had mistake. Was there a spelling mistake, sentence construction, spelling, verb, noun, over run sentence. The message was very clear. It seem you don't have any substance. I have read Fededa's Shewagne flawless writing for years. May be you were not a student of Fekade but one of those cadres that graduated from Civil Service college in Ethiopia

The Principles and Canada's 'Beyond Conjugality' Report: The Move Toward Abolition of State Marriage Laws
Jane Adolphe
Ave Maria School of Law
September 1, 2012
Reconceiving the Family: Critique on the American Law Institute's Principles of the Law of Family Dissolution, Cambridge University Press, September 2012
This Chapter evaluates two law reform initiatives in North America: the PRINCIPLES and the 2001 Canadian Law Commission's report entitled "Beyond Conjugality: Recognizing and Supporting Close Personal Relationships" ("Beyond Conjugality"). The PRINCIPLES move "away from the idea that there can be public standards guiding marriage and parenthood. Instead it says that the central purpose of family law should be to protect and promote family diversity." In particular, the PRINCIPLES introduce rules pertaining to pre-marital agreements and domestic partnerships that undermine the very essence of marriage and present it as one of many equally valid family forms.
