Mother Nature Strikes Again – In Your Home
People have always had tendencies to relax themselves by escaping to some area of intact nature. Men often go fishing in their free time in order to rest their heads and find peace. However, you wouldn't need to travel all the way across the county just to hear birds singing, if you can bring nature to your home. If you love animals, but you don't have time nor patience to brush or feed your dog several times a day, I strongly recommend buying an aquarium.
Fish are the most economical creatures out there, and they, themselves, do not require much attention, and yet, combined with a good aquarium they will make a "Bikini Bottom" out of your home. You can enhance your fish tanks with lighting, by adding bright LED lights inside. Another way of improving the experience is by keeping the water clean which can be achieved by owning devices called "aquarium filters" that, logically, purify the water and keep the aquarium sanitary. Water in aquariums sometimes need to possess a certain amount of temperature for which aquarium heaters are used.
But, in order to make your home look more natural, owning fish tanks filled with fish is simply not enough. Have you ever imagined what would your garden look like if a fountain was added. Fountains are, and have always been sign of a well decorated house. Although, throughout history, only rich people were able to afford fountains, nowadays everyone can afford to buy one and thus make his or her garden more sophisticated. You can match your interior with the exterior design, and, when doing so, you'd need to choose an appropriate style of a fountain which can vary from classical Greek to the post-modern simplified fountains. The fountains which look like statues were, for example, always popular whether they present Hercules celebrating his victory over Antaeus, or Cupid looking for a victim.
And as you may know, besides a fountain, every well designed garden should contain a sculpture of a kind. They should also be in tone with the rest of the design. However, when choosing a sculpture, you should keep in mind that your taste is what matters the most and that a good sculpture is the one you like, while fitting it into with the rest of the design is your secondary task. But, beware! There is such a thing as too many sculptures in one garden, and sometimes you can be accused of not having taste if you "overbuy" them.
Another thing that can be used to enclose nature to your home is flowers. They are an inevitable part of every garden and both their look and scent make your house more appealing to the visitors and to yourself. However, the flowers themselves are not the only things that matter because there is another part which can make your flowers look more beautiful – a planter. Choosing a planter (where your flowers will be put) is as equally important as choosing the flowers which will decorate your garden or house. Once again, there is no rule to which flowers should be put in which planter – it's all up to you and you only.
Finally, if you really are a nature lover who really enjoys all flora and fauna out there, I would recommend buying some of those exotic animals – a reptile, for example. You've probably noticed that many people had bought all those kinds of lizards and some brave individuals had even taken up looking after snakes – why not? However, you don't want your lizard to escape from a cage, or in this case terrarium. As you may have concluded, a terrarium is a parallel term to an aquarium. The only difference is that, in a terrarium, non-water creatures are being held. With the proper use of imagination, you can make a small jungle, or a rain forest in there. There are also many accessories to be added into a terrarium. I think that a mini waterfall would be a total "bull's eye". Besides waterfalls, there are, so called, heat stones which can be added to your terrarium, because where do lizards like to spend their free time?
All in all, do not waste your energy looking for beautiful nature, when, with a little effort, you can incorporate all its tranquility and beauty in your home.

Access UPDATESadly, Broken Hand Peak can no longer legally be accessed via Cottonwood Creek. Your best access for this peak is now via South Colony Lakes and Broken Hand Pass.
The message reproduced below comes courtesy of Steve Bonowski at the Colorado Mountain Club:
CMC has been notified by the Manitou Institute that they are no longer granting access across their property as of August 1, as directed to the staff by the Institute board. Access is available to the area through North Crestone trail; Willow Creek; and a temporary access via the Liberty Road gate to the south. There is access available to the peaks on the east side via either the South Colony Lakes drainage or the North Colony side.
The amount of requests has become too large to handle. In addition, there have been significant parking issues on the private property; people are camping on the private property without permission; and signs continue to be removed at the trailhead. Land management agencies will be posting their own no trespassing signs.
CMC is working with local interests, including some from the spiritual community, to find alternate access around the private property at the CC trailhead. One potential route was identified last month, but it can be accessed only via another entity's private property. Further meetings are expected over the next several months.
Broken Hand Peak Overview
Broken Hand Peak is Crestone Needle's humble neighbor to the southwest. Because the pass between the peaks shares Broken Hand's name and is used during climbs of the Needle's standard route, the 209th tallest peak in the state will forever be associated with that landmark 14er. After climbing the lovely Broken Hand myself, I find this isn't inappropriate. Surely the highlight of the climb is the mind-blowing perspective you gain on the Needle.
Broken Hand is an easy climb compared to the Needle. With good route-finding, you can keep the difficulty at class 2, but chances are you'll end up scrambling on a section or two. There's more than one way up the peak, but the most popular route heads up the west slopes from about 100' below the west side of Broken Hand Pass. Broken Hand is a fine destination in its own right, but since it shares an approach all the way to 13,100' with the Needle's standard route, combining the two peaks is a sensible choice, as well.
Broken Hand is one of the first mountains to greet hikers and drivers on the South Colony Road. Its steep east face is a brilliant demonstration of the rock strata in the area. When seen from Milwaukee Peak, it becomes clear how it was once one with the Crestones. Its grassy west slopes are much gentler, punctuated here and there by Crestone conglomerate rock formations. Broken Hand is a fitting name because its spire-studded northwest ridge often bears resemblance to a hand. One free-standing pinnacle on the east face in particular is referred to as "The Thumb."
Broken Hand Peak memorializes Thomas "Broken Hand" Fitzpatrick, as true a mountain man as there ever was. Fitzpatrick immigrated to the United States from Ireland, and in 1822 at age 23, he joined an expedition led by William H. Ashley to follow the Missouri River to its source, which they reached in the spring of the following year. By then, Fitzpatrick had earned his reputation as a mountain man, once even saving the entire expedition from an attack by Blackfoot Indians. After the success of the Missouri expedition, Ashley selected Fitzpatrick to lead a journey to discover a new route through the Rocky Mountains. This expedition led to the discovery of South Pass at the south end of Wyoming's Wind River Mountains. In 1826, Fitzpatrick earned his nickname when a musket exploded in his hands, blowing off two of his fingers. The local Nez Perce Indians dubbed him "Broken Hand, Chief of All Mountain Men." Other points of Broken Hand's notoriety include helming expeditions as far west as Fort Vancouver in Washington, scouting portions of the Oregon Trail, and serving as "Indian agent" for John Fremont's expeditions with the more well-known Kit Carson, whom he met in Sante Fe in 1841.
Fitzpatrick's memory is also honored in Wyoming with both Fitzpatrick Peak in the Salt River Range and the Fitzpatrick Wilderness, which encompasses most of the public land east of the Wind River Range's crest. An interesting side-note surrounds the circumstances of Broken Hand's death. Family members of his perpetuated the rumor that he didn't die of pneumonia as the history books tell us, but rather was killed for being sympathetic toward the Indians at a time when the U.S. government was attempting to solve the "Indian problem." Several times, Broken Hand was noted to have attempted to hold the goverment to its treaties with various Indian tribes.
Red TapeIf using the Cottonwood Creek approach to Broken Hand, please respect the landowners' wishes and abide by the following request which is taken from the Crestone Peak page:
From SP member Clyde Lovett: The land we cross to hike along Cottonwood Creek on the way up to Crestone Peak and Crestone Needle belongs to the Manitou Foundation (email@example.com). I have spoken face to face with these folks about we hikers crossing their land. They request that all hikers check in with them and sign a release form before crossing their land. I have indicated their email address above. Their postal address is PO Box 118; Crestone, CO 81131.
Broken Hand is located within the Sangre de Cristo Wilderness. Typical wilderness restrictions apply. Contacting the managing agencies (see 'Mountain Conditions') is the surest way to get up-to-date information.
Leave No Trace suggests you observe these principles when traveling and camping in all public lands, especially wilderness:
1. Plan Ahead and Prepare
2. Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces
3. Dispose of Waste Properly
4. Leave What You Find
5. Minimize Campfire Impacts
6. Respect Wildlife
7. Be Considerate of Other Visitors
When To ClimbThe easiest time to climb Broken Hand is June-October, but this varies year-to-year with the snowpack. In spring or winter conditions especially from the South Colony Lakes side, this route would require an ice axe and crampons to ascend Broken Hand Pass.
CampingCamping is permitted in the Sangre de Cristo Wilderness. Please refer to the "Getting There" section for potential camp sites.
Mountain ConditionsThe US Forest Service is your best bet for determining current snow conditions and gathering other such information. The Saguache Ranger District (719-655-2547) of Rio Grande National Forest is responsible for the Sangres west of the range crest. The San Carlos Ranger District (719-269-8500) of San Isabel National Forest is responsible for the Sangres east of the range crest. Another good contact number for the east side is the Westcliffe Ranger Station (719-783-2079).
For weather information, the National Weather Service is a good place to start:

According to Google's Webmaster Central blog, site owners now have the ability to link verified sites using Webmaster Tools to an Analytics profile used by the same Google account. According to the post, this will enable your Analytics profiles to be accessible from within Webmaster Tools. For the really anxious, the how-to instructions for linking are included below.
At this point, the benefits include some slight conveniences. For one, you will now be able to access your Referring Sites report in Google Analytics directly from Webmaster tools. Secondly, Google is making it easier to access Analytics with one click of the navigation link on Webmaster Tools. Previously, for security, Google has always required site owners to sign back in when moving between Webmaster Tools and Analytics.
While the changes are subtle, they add a layer of convenience for site owners who rely on Google's tools to determine what their visitors are doing. Also, given the similarity of some of the Webmaster Tools reports to Analytics, be on the lookout for cross-product linking in the future.
While some reports in Webmaster Tools appear similar to what the Analytics products offer, remember the big difference between the two products. Webmaster Tools was designed to help site owners determine detailed information about their site's visbility on Google. Google Analytics is a tool used to determine how all visitors interact with a site. While there is some overlap, remember that the Googlebot which crawls your site is merely one unique visitor. Data will sometimes vary between the reports depending on the rate at which Google crawls your site.
How Do I Link Google Webmaster Tools and Analytics?
It's a simple two-step process.
- When you first sign into Webmaster Tools, click Manage in the same row as the site you want to link. (If you only have one site, this is pretty easy).
- Click Google Analytics profile from the list that appears.
- Select the Google Analytics profile you want to link and click Save
It is important to note that this can only be done with sites that have verified to Google. Also, if your site has more than one contact – or verified owner – each owner will need to link their individual Webmaster Tools accounts to their individual Google Analytics profiles.

Ethiopia denies New York Times Report
The following is a press release from Ethiopia's Ministry of Information.
December 20- 2007
Ministry of Information
It is to be recalled that the Ethiopian Defense force has cracked and captured quite a large number of the members of the terrorist group and left the remaining to be dispersed by the intensified and extensive activities it has exerted together with the Regional Government and the peace loving people of the region to abort the anti-peace activities and the terrorist attacks of the terrorist group that named itself 'The Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF). It is also known that this measure has enabled to stop these anti-peace forces from carrying out terrorist attacks against the lives of innocent civilians and development institutions in an organized manner. Following this, it has become possible to persevere with providing the impeded humanitarian assistance in some areas of the region and the ongoing development activity. Recently Mr. John Holmes, head of the United Nations Humanitarian assistance affaires, who has visited the area has stated that no severe humanitarian crisis has occurred owing to the stranded supply of the humanitarian assistance and that the government is working closely with the appropriate aid organizations to facilitate the relief distribution.
With regard to reliably safeguarding the peace and security of the surrounding and ensuring the sustainability of development projects and programs, the task of combating and eliminating the anti-peace elements with the full participation of the regional government and the people is intensified and has become fruitful. In relation to this, members of the local militia that have basically come from the various clans and the residents of the region are courageously fighting and cracking down the anti-peace elements in partnership with the defense force.
Contrary to this objective reality on the ground, The New York Times has disseminated an unsubstantiated report on December 14/2007 stating that the Ethiopian government has forced doctors, teachers, office workers including employees of development projects operated by the sponsorship of the UN and the World bank that do not have any military training to be mobilized to the warfront to fight against the anti-peace ONLF terrorists.
Essentially, though it is the entire peace-loving people of the Ogaden who are struggling against the anti-peace forces standing on the side of the defense force, it is apparently known that particularly the members of the local militia are working hard having the forefront role. What distinguishes the members of the local militia from the regular army is the fact that members of the militia possess their own private and regular work to lead their own livelihood though they have military training and equipment that enables them to protect the peace and security of their surrounding collectively. Local militias that have a similar organization are found being involved in protecting the peace and security of their surrounding in all the regions of the country having been voluntarily enlisted and taken the necessary military training that makes them fit to safeguarding the peace and security of their vicinity. It is crystal clear that this practice has long lived and is a well-developed and important tradition of the country.
Nonetheless, there is absolutely no way that civilian that do not have any military training are made to fight the ONLF in the warfront as the New York Times inaccurately presented. It is to be known that the government is combating the forces of the terrorist group basically by the members of the local militia who are equipped and possess the necessary military training along with the defense force's forefront backing. There could be no reason for the government to take any action that endangers civilians who are already targets of the terrorists since the goal of the ongoing struggle is to defend the peace and security of the civilians and the surrounding. In fact, the civil community is making its own significant contribution in the fight against the terrorist group in a multifaceted manner by giving tip off and pointing directions for the local militia and the defense force.
Since this active participation of the community is encouraging and acceptable, it should be further strengthened in the future. In this regard, the report presented by 'The New York Times' distorting the activity of the community to safeguarding its own peace and security on its own initiative and the coordination of clan leaders should be corrected as it is absolutely wrong, nonsense and inconsiderate of the objective reality of the region.
they finally responded almost a week after the New York times article.
our "Ministry of Information" is an embarrassment to ethiopia!
Why can't the world travel freely in Ogaden? it abvious that the Tigre rag tag militia have something to hide.Something very terible like villages all an inhbated becouse the people are all dead. Is like the wild wild west you can see kids hanged from trees, mass graves,village burn.There are 2500 refugees families in Kenya who are telling world how sick this murderer Meles Zenawi really is. No more talking we need the world to take action and bring this criminal to justice. Or within a year no one will be left in the Ogaden all will perish. Tigre rag tag Militia are very cruel and evil like none human.
Finally wayane terrorist minister agree new York Times report. He said "we trained clan militia who opposed anti-peace Local militias that have a similar organization are found being involved in protecting the peace and security of their surrounding in all the regions of the country having been voluntarily enlisted and taken the necessary military training that makes them fit to safeguarding the peace and security of their vicinity. It is crystal clear that this practice has long lived and is a well-developed and important tradition of the country"
New York Times should change its name to ONLF TIMES.
Schools of Jurnalist need to teach more of journalism ethics before grauating students like Jeffrey Getteman. Mr. Getteman of New York Times is supporing the cause of terrorists and undermining efforts of sovereign nations like Ethiopia in containing terrorism in the Horn of Africa region.
Ethiopia prevails. Who cares about what New york Times says as long as the US gov't know first hand that what NY Times states is not consistent with the reality. Why we care about NY Times other than learning to teach our journalists more ethics. Ethiopia needs to care about its citizen.
I do not care if you are for or against the Ethiopian government, but Rape and aggressive sexual behavior is not Ethiopian culture. And every Ethiopian knows that.
What the NY times doing is use Black American stereotype and applying it to Ethiopian soliders
Shame !!!
You shit Ogadenian:
The world can not travel in Ogaden freely since your stupid fighters are killers and blood suckers. Because you paid Geffry to write nonsense for you does not mean he likes you. He is just doing business in his selfish and unethical way. Well come to the western countries. No ethical obligation when it comes to Africa. They hear oil, and they are all over it already. I am sure Geffery is promised to be a shareholder in the oil by ONLF to published this and other nonsense articles he wrote. What are you doing to the Ogaden people sitting in the comfort of you home. At least the governemnt is doing its best of his obligation despite you corrupted and bloodsucker ONLF.
To habesh:
Ethiopian government has no obligation to reply to every basiless article posted in the world by anti-ethiopian forces like ONLF and Shiabia. They have no obligation at all. This just nice of them to say the list. It is your job as an Ethiopian to fight the anti-government forces. We all sit in our confortable sofa and judge the government. The government doing its past if the stupid disapora Ethiopian can do their best in building Ethiopian name. Instead we are joining the anti-ethiopian forces to fight Ethiopia. Good example for this is Nazeret.com itself.
This lazy and ignorant reporter Jeffrey Gettleman must be made to understand that we are watching him and he will be accountable for his irresponsible acts. Ethiopia is a significant country and its integrity is to be taken seriously. Any reporting against it (Ethiopia) must be verified and cannot be based on assumptions and laziness.
This reply by the Ethiopia's Ministry of Information should have been stronger than what it is.
Chasu why are you supporting this worthless murderer.Chasu be a human being for a minute thinki about your family.I'm sure you have mom and dad and bothers and sisters huh look at it from that side you don't want anybody to rape your mom,sisters and so on. nor do you want anybody killing you or your father and brother.Well image your enire village burn to the ground and everyone is dead. This is what is hapening in Ogaden our own families have gone through what I just describe to you man.No one should blindly support this Tigre cold blooded killers.
What do you think Z-Mike, New York Times are lier not Weyane right?
Look, this minstry of lie has issued three different press release in different media.ONe on AIGA forem,one on Naziret and the other in Amharic.They try to confuse and hide their lie.Woyane you can`t hide more and your hidden ajenda has already exposed.
TPLF..you are doing more crime that what was reported on the New York Times. Finally the world has come to realize that what we have in Mnilik Palace is a bucher of his own ppl.
Hope we will hear a lot more from all media sources around the glob about this shameful craetures called Woyanes and their abhorent crimes.
Ewunetina girate alu.
Finally they admitted it.
Most immigrants(with refugee status) who live in the west have knowledge of this kind of info. If you want refugee visa to go to the west , the way you tell your story (specially exagurating it to the max)has 100% impact whether you get visa or not. I have first hand exprience of people who did that and are in the usa now in the 1000's .It even helps them to bring up to 20(estimation) of their extended family members immediately. SO BE IT NEW YORK TIMES JEFFERY, OPPOSITON SUPPORTERS OR OTHERS WHO JUST LOVE TO HEAR BAD NEWS ABOUT ETHIOPIA, YOU ARE NOT FOOLING ANYONE.
i wish we ogadenis and woyanes willhave been let to fight alone without the help of westerners then ppl of ethiopia will have seen how we over run them quickly.
It is reduculous when woyanes blame the same white men who are arming and help them.
These woyanes have no future they will be surrounded the dry mountains of tigray because they are so hated by all ethiopians , somalis as well as eritreans maybe we let them to emigrateti SIBIRIa or Greenland.
I could wait the fall og woyanes .
habesh I completely AGREE.

For iOS, no XCode template for creating frameworks exist. Reason seems to be that Apple doesn't want that people create dynamically linked libraries, so they just removed it completely.
But for sure, using static libraries is ok, there is even an XCode template for this. People said that they published apps to the Apple AppStore that use frameworks with static libraries, and that they did get approved without problems.
There are some approaches out there for creating frameworks for iOS (1, 2, 3, 4), but this one is the simplest and works very well: ios-static-framework.
Much more background can be found in this and this great posts.
So, go and create frameworks that work on multiple architectures using static libraries and bundle resources, and make it easy for 3rd parties to add functionality to their projects

Você pode me escrever em Português, mas é mais fácil para mim para responder em Inglês.
I know what I'm looking for (and equally what I'm not looking for - read on)... but... I don't have a specific "type". I'm laid-back, open and honest, and in return I'm looking for an equal amount of laid-backness, openness and honesty.
Economical (e.g. backpacking rather than five-star resorts)... but... generous (e.g. treating my friends on a night out). Ever read "The Four Hour Work Week"? You don't have to be a gazillionaire to live the lifestyle of a gazillionaire...
Well-organised... but... also very spontaneous, living one day at a time (e.g. showing up at the airport and booking a ticket on the next available flight, to Jakarta, Nice, San Francisco/Black Rock City, NYC).
Looks matter - especially on a dating site like this one (bonus points for tall and fit)... but... if you consider yourself high maintenance and don't feel comfortable leaving home without excessive make-up once in a while, then I may not be the right guy for you.
I'm happy with my life, not desperately looking for a relationship... but... the best things in life are better when shared. I'd like to find someone to share my life with eventually. So if you've read this far and feel the same way, then get in touch!
When I'm not working, I love to travel, backpacking across different continents. When I'm at home, I enjoy concerts, time with friends, walks in the park, hanging out at a local cafe having coffee and home-made cake! I also enjoy a quiet night in from time to time.
Music - mostly anything, from Aretha Franklin to Pink Floyd, from Marley to Mozart. Most of all jazz though, as I enjoy playing it.
Food - I've been mostly vegetarian/vegan for the last ten years or so, but that doesn't mean I'm not adventurous when it comes to food.
1) Smartphone (Android all the way)
2) Passport (in order to get past immigration)
3) Enough cash or credit cards to get me through the day (mainly for food and drink, but a dry place to sleep helps)
4) Toothbrush (twice a day)
5) Change of underwear (for obvious reasons)
6) House keys (in case I ever make it back home)
No, but seriously... I wonder about what I'm doing with my life. My recent career change has opened many new doors. But there are lots more places I'd love to visit! And eventually I want to start a family. So how can I best do all of these at once...?!
Question: What is the best way to meet people online? Individual personal messages or lots of generic copy/paste messages?
I believe a personal message is a thousand times better than a generic message. And I would send a personal message to everyone whose profile I like - if I could expect an answer. Unfortunately most of my messages go unanswered - regardless of whether they're personal or generic. And it seems I'm not the only one with that experience: 95% of online dating messages go unanswered.
I do believe that dating is a numbers game. In order to meet one of the few people on this planet on the same wavelength (dare I use the term soulmate?), one has to cross the paths of lots of potential matches. (Do you agree?)
So if I occasionally send a generic copy/paste message, don't take it personally - I'm trying to find my soulmate. And if I get a reply, you can be sure I won't be copy/pasting any more...!
*** P.S. I'm not on here very often, but I do check my messages. ***
Or I'm ready to hit the town with my friends. I love exploring familiar and unfamiliar parts of São Paulo. Any recommendations?
Also, I think I've figured out what I'm looking for: someone with a good heart, education, humor, optimism, looks, spontaneity and energy to make me want to leave my single life behind. Until then I'm hoping to meet interesting and fun people and have a good time...
After all, life is only half the fun when you're not sharing it!
Also, if you've read this far, would you mind sending me a quick message, regardless of whether you're interested or not. I'd just like to find out if you think I'm doing anything wrong...

Mo. man sentenced for putting boy in freezing shower
Devin Benke punished boy for spilling cereal
A Jefferson City man was sentenced to seven years in prison for putting a 4-year-old boy into a freezing shower because the child spilled his cereal.
Devin Benke, 27, was sentenced Monday for child abuse after the February incident.
Police say Benke put the boy in the shower and set the dial as cold as it could be. He also shoved the child several times, leaving bruises and a large cut on the boy's chin.
The Jefferson City News Tribune reports Missouri American Water said the water line temperature was 41.7 degrees at the time.
Benke left the boy in the water for a long time and eventually found him unresponsive. His mother took him to a hospital and the child made a full recovery.

Love Happens announces itself as a romantic comedy but doesn't speak the language of love. Instead, it trades in the slogans of self-help procedural.
The film unfolds during a weekend seminar in Seattle where Burke Ryan (Aaron Eckhart), mental-health guru, belatedly swallows advice he dispenses to others.
Burke is one of those publicly charismatic, privately brooding fellows who preaches what he cannot practice. Though he counsels others to accept that there is life after a loved one's death, Burke is in prolonged mourning for his late wife.

Famous Short Nostalgia Poems. Short Nostalgia Poetry by Famous Poets. A collection of the all-time best Nostalgia short poems
A few grains of dust more or less
On ancient shoulders
Locks of weakness on weary foreheads
This theatre of honey and faded roses
Where incalcuable flies
Reply to the black signs that misery makes to them
Despairing girders of a bridge
Thrown across space
Thrown across every street and every house
Heavy wandering madnesses
That we shall end by knowing by heart
Mechanical appetites and uncontrolled dances
That lead to the regret of hatred
Nostalgia of justice

Dr. Ladislav Zahumensky
Executive Director
Slovak Public Works Association
In the April 2000 issue of the APWA Reporter, we mentioned some basic information about Slovakia, its public works delivery system, and Slovak Public Works Association's (SPWA) history and activities since 1990, after the fall of communism. Since then, several important things have taken place and were accomplished.
SPWA was happy to accept the invitation to APWA's Congress in Louisville in September 2000, where the contacts between APWA and SPWA concluded with an official APWA-SPWA alliance agreement.
Four delegates from SPWA attended the official Congress and, on September 13, this agreement was signed by the presidents of APWA and SPWA. Each party has established 3-5 member Task Force Committees that will be working on accomplishing the goals set forth in the agreement. SPWA has named to this committee the following members: Dr. Ladislav Zahumensky-SPWA executive director; Ondrej Placko, Ladislav Chrenko, and Oliver Celko-SPWA presidium members. (As of this writing, the APWA Task Force Committee members have not been selected, but will be in the near future-Ed.)
The SPWA delegates appreciate the hospitality and sincere interest of the APWA representatives and members they met during their stay in Louisville, and express admiration of the highly professional manner in how the Congress and Exposition were handled.
Along with its contacts and collaboration with APWA, SPWA has made closer contacts with partner associations in its neighboring Central European countries: Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic. (Note: This Central European region-Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, and Slovakia-tends to be called the Vishegrad four, or V4.)
Collaboration of these four countries in economic, cultural, social, and other areas has existed since 1994. The purpose of this collaboration is to eliminate the impact of communism and build a standard democratic society. The agreement was signed in the Hungarian town of Vishegrad, hence the explanation above as to why the region is known as the Vishegrad four (or V4).
Public works associations exist in all of the V4 countries, and the representatives of these have agreed that the development and problems in public works delivery in the V4 region are identical. In general, we sum them up as follows:
* Frequent tension, conflict, and mutual distrust between public works company managers and local government staff, mayors, and councils.
* Villages (communities) provide less money for public works, but require the same quality and quantity of services.
* Not honoring existing agreements and terms of payment for completed services.
* Ineffective management of public works companies owned by towns and villages. There is a need to increase motivation and qualifications of top management and their staff.
* Lack of political will or direction to make unpopular (although from an economical and efficiency perspective, necessary) measures for elimination of non-effective activities and the unemployment rate.
* Lack of qualified and objective analysis of the need for privatization of public works activities.
* Frequently, towns are at a disadvantage in negotiating service contracts, mainly from private companies. These contracts often unduly burden town and village budgets, and the costs are passed on to the citizens.
* There is a need to analyze these issues and problems, understand their causes, and establish a future direction for effective and efficient public works service delivery.
* There is a need for an effective and high quality educational system for public works delivery managers.
It is obvious that it would be very useful to cooperate and coordinate the strategies of V4 public works associations in order to improve the situation in public works delivery. Representatives of V4 public works associations welcome the chance to collaborate more closely with APWA, since APWA has a great deal of experience in public works delivery, privatization, and re-privatization in this field under the conditions of market economy and democratic local government. Therefore, they appreciate the work that has been accomplished by SPWA and APWA representatives and express their definite interest to join this collaboration within the whole region of the Vishegrad four.
It was agreed at the APWA Congress in Louisville that a delegation from APWA will visit SPWA's General Assembly (GA) in Slovakia in the spring of 2001 and, if possible, visit the V4 region as well.
SPWA has successfully coordinated the GAs of the Public Works Associations of Slovakia, Poland, and the Czech Republic. This means that the visitors will be able to attend all three GAs and visit public works agencies and utilities in the three countries. In addition, they may participate in sightseeing tours at the locations of each GA in 10 days. The possibility of visiting the Hungarian partner Public Works Association is still being discussed.
V4 association representatives and members expect that the spring 2001 meeting with APWA delegates will bring further possibilities for a more specific alliance by solving specific problems.
We hope that we will be able to welcome a delegation from APWA and "pay back" the hospitality that we encountered on our visit. We strongly believe that the collaboration and mutual exchange of experience among North American and Central European professionals will be useful for both parties and will soon bring benefit for the citizens of our towns and communities.
Dr. Ladislav Zahumensky
Executive Director of SPWA
For those interested in attending our General Assembly (GA) and visiting Slovakia and the V4 region, please see the following information:
It will be our pleasure to welcome public works professionals from all over the world to our spring General Assemblies and introduce them to our conditions of work and our region.

This year they got every teacher at my uni who had not been reporting. Painless though, just 2,000 baht before they would issue the year.
I haven't reported in the last 2 years.
My agent says not to waste my time.
So I don't.
never say shit, even when I go for the one year renewal.

I dont think anyone did them up until about three years ago when they stapled that paper into your passport when you got your visa extension for your WP renewal.Originally Posted by kenkannif
I didnt do any for the first two years and no one that I worked with did, either.
^ I've been doing mine for the last 6 or so years JB....as did most of us here. I got the bit of paper stapled in then as well (it was actually 2K fine before....now for the last 2 or 3 years it's been 5K but they still only charge the old 2K rate...generally).
Riddle me this brother can you handle it
Your style to my style you can't hold a candle to it

It's not how you play the game it's how you win it
I cheat and steal and sin and I'm a cynic
I cant remember if I had the bit of paper then, but I know that I didn't report and nor did anyone else from our company.
^ Well you should have had the bit of paper JB...it's always been around since I've been here, and you lot should have reported as well you EVIL LAW BREAKERS YOU!!! Best watch out CC don't report you for flaunting the country's laws.....you start by not registering....next thing you know there's an orgy of blood, death and PAIN
Well my uni is going in Friday, so they will do it for me. I like that.
There are a couple of real advantages in doing the 90 day reporting.
(1) When you need proof of address for a driving licence (or renewal), Immigration will give you the requisite letter for free. A lot less expensive that using an embassy, and a lot less hassle than trying to get a letter out of the local Ampur office.
(2) To buy a car you need a similar letter. Again, free from Immigration.

VERNON — A 25-year-old Vernon man was sentenced to five years in state prison for killing a passenger in his vehicle during a drunken-driving accident, the Sussex County Prosecutor's Office said today.
Joseph Cavanaugh must serve 85 percent of his sentence under the No Early Release Act before becoming eligible for parole and will be paroled for three years after his release. His driver's license will be suspended for seven years after he is freed, the prosecutor's office said.
Cavanaugh pleaded guilty in April to vehicular homicide and other offenses in connection with the one-car accident, which occurred Aug. 2, 2008, on Lake Wallkill Road near Sleepy Hollow Road.
Ryan Olsen, 22, of Vernon, a back-seat passenger in the vehicle and a former standout swimmer at Vernon Township High School, was pronounced dead at the scene. A front-seat passenger, Jason Concoy, 24, of Vernon, was injured in the crash, police said.

Police are looking for an older, bearded white male who allegedly held up gas station attendant at gunpoint and robbed the station in Walker, officials said Thursday.
John Sharp, spokesman for the Walker Police Department, said the Shell/Express 1 Stop just north of Interstate 12 on Walker South Road was robbed Wednesday night. An undetermined amount of cash was taken from the cash register.
Shortly after 8 p.m. Wednesday, the suspect entered the Express 1 Stop and purchased gasoline. After paying for his fuel, the man went back to his truck and pumped some gas, Sharp said.
The suspect then came back into the store and went directly to the checkout counter, Sharp said and the cashier asked the suspect if he needed a receipt.
The suspect then took a handgun from his pocket and demanded the contents of the register, Sharp said. After the suspect received the cash, he ran to his vehicle and fled the scene. No one was injured.
Police described the suspect as an, "older white male of medium height and slim build."
"At the time of the robbery, the suspect had a beard and was wearing a red and blue, front button shirt and a tan cowboy hat. He is believed to have been driving a dark blue or black full-sized Chevrolet pickup truck with Texas plates," Sharp said.
Anyone with information concerning this robbery is asked to contact Walker Police at (225) 664-3125, or Crime Stoppers at (225) 344-STOP.

Jonas Holøs is a great norwegian D-man, and just ended a great World Championship, as one of the players with most icetime during. (Think he had an average of over 27 mins a game!)
He ended up with 9 points in 8 games (4+5), plus 4, and got lots of credit from both Swedish experts (LINK to one article), and NHL-agents.
He is born and reised in my hometown Sarpsborg in Norway, and has always been a serious athlete. He puts down so much in his training, and is by some described as the best trained team-athlete ever in Norway (LINK to google-tranlated page).
Jonas has played in the NHL before (Avs), but decided to leave when he after the first season was sent down to AHL with the word he was ranked as their d-man number 14. He knew he was good enoguh for the top league. And he is, believe me.
Anyway.. Several newspapers (in Norway and sweden) has been writing about Holøs return to the NHL during the Championship, and now one of the most known hockey-commentators in Norway claim that Detroit is one of three teams interested in bringing him over again.
LINK to norwegian site (using Gogle translator)
Besides the Wings, the two other teams is, according to this writer; Chicago and his former team Colorado. Colorado has been confirmed by agents in other TV-news etc here in Norway, but as for Chicago and Detroit - this is new to me.
What do you guys think? I could actually see him fitting this great team of ours.

Red Wings-fan since 1993/94-season. Born and raised in Norway. (Who would have guessed..right?)
Fell in love with the Red Wings-hockey when I saw what a great (the greatest) player Steve Yzerman was. #19 - no other Captain like him - ever! Best Captain to ever play the game!
Been to a few Wings-games through my life (born 1982). Mostly I have to follow them through TV and Internet though.. bit of a travel from Norway
Well - thats me.

Swap market unmoved by SEF rules
The first months of new US rules for the OTC derivatives markets have not caused the slump in liquidity that many expected, according to new research from JP Morgan.
In a research note looking at flows and liquidity in the six months since the introduction of new US venues for trading swaps, JP Morgan analysts found that the value of trades in interest rate swaps – which make up the largest proportion of OTC derivatives trading – had actually increased after an initial slump.
The JP Morgan note said: "With the caveat that it is still early days, especially in Europe, there is no evidence that this... risk of shrinkage of the OTC derivatives universe is materialising. Neither outstanding notionals nor trading volumes appear to have been affected overall so far…. total OTC interest rate swaps (plain vanilla fixed-floating) volumes have in fact been trending up since last autumn with the declines seen into the Oct 2 and Feb 15 dates, quickly reversing after then."
The new rules for OTC derivatives, first unveiled at the 2009 G20 summit, aimed to reduce systemic risk in these markets through three core principles: the use of trading venues for swaps that have historically been traded privately; placing a clearing house between buyers and sellers of swaps to minimise the risk of default; and the reporting of trades to newly created repositories in order to improve transparency.
In the US, reporting and clearing for many types of OTC derivatives has already started. US swap trading venues – known as swap execution facilities — were launched in October and mandatory trading on the platforms was required from February 15. Trade reporting has started in Europe, but the introduction of trading venues and the obligation to clear is lagging behind.
Many in the industry expected the operational complexity and increased costs that have occurred as a result of the new rules to discourage trading in swaps, particularly from smaller firms that do not trade the products very frequently.
The JP Morgan research also found there had been no shift to alternatives to interest rate swaps, such as futures products traded on CME Group.
Exchanges including the CME Group have launched new types of contracts known as swap futures in response to the overhaul of OTC derivatives. The products aim to replicate swaps through a futures-based product, which are cheaper to trade under the US rules.
The research noted that open interest in the CME's swap futures had not changed materially since the $80 billion reached in August: "The overall universe of market participants, including both large and small players, does not appear to be shifting away from OTC interest rate products to exchange traded interest rate futures."
While swap volumes have remained steady there has been a fragmentation of liquidity, particularly in euro-denominated interest rate swaps. This is because European market participants have to comply with US rules if they trade swaps with a US firm.
A study from trade association the International Swaps and Derivatives Exchange in January showed that since last October, only 10% of European firms had traded euro interest rate swaps with US counterparties, compared with around 30% between January and September last year.

With a brood of six children ranging in age from four months to seven years, Brad Pitt says life requires careful planning.
The star of the soon-to-be-released The Curious Case of Benjamin Button tells Oprah Winfrey, in an interview on her show set to air Nov. 19, that quick outings are things of the past.
"We don't go to the mall," says Pitt, 44, adding that preparing for a car trip is an adventure unto itself.
"It's like a half-an-hour just to get everyone buckled in and make sure they've got their snacks, and Z.Z. [Zahara, 3] has got a blanket and Shiloh's got her silky," he says.
"Angie's militant about it. She's right on top of it. Thank God, because I'm always forgetting something."
He also reveals 2½-year-old daughter Shiloh's latest quirk.
"She only wants to be called John. John or Peter. So it's a Peter Pan thing," he says. "So we've got to call her John. 'Shi, do you want ...' – 'John. I'm John.' And then I'll say, 'John, would you like some orange juice?' And she goes, 'No!' So, you know, it's just that kind of stuff that's cute to parents, and it's probably really obnoxious to other people."

Accelerating the Transition Towards Sustainable Investing - Strategic Options for Investors, Corporations, and Other Key Stakeholders
Bernd Jan Sikken
Duisenberg School of Finance; World Economic Forum
July 21, 2011
World Economic Forum Paper
What are key pathways for investors, corporations, and other key stakeholders in the investment value chain to accelerate the transition towards sustainable investing?
Sustainable investing is defined as an investment approach that integrates long-term environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria into investment and ownership decision-making with the objective of generating superior risk-adjusted financial returns. These extra-financial criteria are used alongside traditional financial criteria such as cash flow and price-to-earnings ratios.
This paper explores both the key barriers to sustainable investing (at investor, corporate, system-wide level) as well as the strategic options to overcome those barriers. Strategic options have been defined in four categories: A. improve information, B. strengthen competencies, C. modify incentives, D. enhance governance.

What are you most proud of? I really am NOT proud of this block. There is insufficient contrast with the fabrics to give me the crisp detail of the block, BUT, that said, I am not inclined to do the block over today. I think it will blend with t he other blocks in the quilt and doesn't need to be a "stand out". The paths look blobby to me and yet it was executed perfectly. It's just too busy, it needs a place for the eye to rest. Maybe tomorrow I will feel differently and do it over.
I love it.....reminds me of one of my glow-in-the-dark black light posters on my bedroom wall in the 70's!!! Very pretty.

Troubleshooting javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException
People often think of SSL as a form of encryption. Strictly speaking, it's not; SSL is a protocol or "cryptosystem" that uses existing encryption algorithms in a way that ensures privacy. To that end, SSL is not just about encryption; it's also about authentication, ensuring that you're connecting to the party you think you're connecting to. This is done using a chain of trust; effectively, you trust "certificate authorities" (CAs) to use due diligence in ensuring that SSL public keys belong to the party you're connecting to.
The combination of a public key, the trust information about that key, and the digital signature of the CA, is known as a "SSL Certificate", and that certificate is sent by an SSL server to a client at the beginning of every conversation.
Embedded in every SSL certificate is the "common name" of the resource that the certificate is for, which, in SSL, is the name of the server as you type it into a browser. For example, one of the "common names" for the SSL certificate at paypal.com is "www.paypal.com". If you try to make an SSL connection to paypal.com based on IP address, your browser will pop up a warning that the name you typed doesn't match the name in the SSL certificate.
It can be argued that the "real" chain of trust extends back to the browser, however, since the list of trusted CAs (and their public keys) are distributed with the browser.
For Java, this list of trusted CAs is (usually) stored in a file called "cacerts". Unlike with a browser, however, if either (a) the common name doesn't match the name in the URL, or (b) the CA that signed the SSL certificate isn't in the list of trusted CAs, then the SSL communication fails with an exception similar to this:
There is no "workaround" for this to disable the authentication step; the CA for the SSL cert must be trusted, and the common name must match, or the SSL connection will fail.
Common Name Mismatch
Fixing a common name mismatch is simple; just ensure that the host name in the URL you're using for communication matches one of the common names in the SSL certificate. If you double-click on the "key" in a browser after connecting to any page on the SSL server, you can view the list of common names that the certificate applies to.
Unknown Certificate Authority
The default certificate store that's shipped with the JVM is called "cacerts", and is typically stored in the JRE's ./lib/security folder, unless you're using the "-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=" JVM parameter to explicitly load a different list of CA certificates.
If a trusted CA is not found in the SSL certificate, you get an exception similar to this:
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: No trusted certificate found
This can have one of two root causes:
File not found
If the trusted CA certificate list isn't in the default location, nor at the location specified using the "-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=" JVM parameter, a "file not found error" is not produced; the symptom is that all SSL communication fails. For this reason, if using JVM args to specify an alternate trusted CA list file, only absolute paths should be used, as the use of relative paths is rather unreliable.
The CA isn't in the trusted CA list
If the party you're connecting to has recently changed server hardware or updated their SSL certificate, it's possible that they've started using a CA that isn't in your trusted list. Before continuing, verify that one of these things has occurred, and that you're not seeing the effects of some sort of man-in-the-middle attack, where someone is trying to decrypt and reencrypt communications using a fake SSL certificate. (The odds of actually experiencing such an attack are vanishingly small, but cannot be discounted altogether.)
If the CA isn't in the trusted CA list, but should be, you can import it into the list. Step one is saving the CA's public key into a file; step two is importing that file into our trusted CA list.
You SHOULD get the CA's new public key directly from the CA's website; however, if this is not an option (and you're really sure you're not seeing the side effect of a man-in-the-middle attack) you can use Internet Explorer to extract the CA public key into a file that can be imported into Java's cacerts file.
Saving the CA public key into a file:
(These directions are from http://www.webmilhouse.com/7b/?p=85 )
Steps in IE 6.0 on Windows 2000 to get the cert:
- Connect to https://my.domain.com
- Go to Tools > Internet Options > Content > Certificates > Intermediate Certification Authorities [or "Trusted Root Certification Authorities"]
- Choose "Thawte SGC CA" [or whichever is needed]
- Click "Export…", then "Next>"
- Select "DER encoded binary X.509 (.CER)"
- Name the file thawtesgcca.cer [change the name as applicable]
- Select "Finish"
Importing the CA public key into the trust list (file and alias names will likely vary; the alias name isn't important):
Note that you must have a full JDK installed (not just the JRE) to have access to keytool and javac (used below).
Testing your New Cacerts
Here is a simple Java class that can be used to test SSL connections:
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLConnection;
* @author Daryl Banttari
public class TestSSL {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// default url:
String urlString = "https://www.paypal.com/";
// if any url specified, use that instead:
if(args.length > 0) {
urlString = args[0];
System.out.println("Connecting to " + urlString + "...");
try {
// convert user string to URL object
URL url = new URL(urlString);
// connect!
URLConnection cnx = url.openConnection();
// read the page returned
InputStream ins = cnx.getInputStream();
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(ins));
String curline;
while( (curline = in.readLine()) != null ) {
// close the connection
catch(Throwable t) {
Save this code into a file named TestSSL.java (case sensitive!) and compile:
Now run it to attempt to load the target URL:
Either the contents of the page will be displayed, or an exception will be shown indicating why the page could not be retrieved.
SSL: Not Just About Encryption!
Remember, it's not enough to encrypt communication, you also have to be sure you're communicating with the right person. SSL, and all good public key cryptosystems, ensure not only encryption but also authentication. Since you can't manually authenticate every SSL certificate to every company that runs an SSL server, you trust other certificate authorities to ensure that the server you're connecting to is the server you think you're connecting to. If Java doesn't trust the certificate authority used by the SSL server, then Java will refuse to talk to that server.
Browsers will pop up a warning dialog indicating that there's a problem if the CA isn't trusted, but Java can't assume anyone is watching for that, so it throws an exception and fails. Updating the cacerts file used by Java, so that it includes the new certificate authority's public key, will solve that issue.
