Facing a potential shortage of foreign strippers, a Canadian strip club is offering college students $1,700 to put toward tuition at nearby schools in exchange for dancing.
The Leopard's Lounge and Broil in Windsor, Ontario, which is just across the U.S. border from Detroit, is also offering eligible students a $500 signing bonus, help with their makeup and stage show and other perks, club owner Robert Katzman told the Toronto Sun. But the dancers have to be serious students -- they're required to maintain a B-plus grade point average.
Clubs are worried about a dancer shortage after Canada decided to stop offering so-called stripper visas. Up to 800 foreign dancers work in Canada, but Canadian authorities decided to stop giving visas to strippers to cut down on the risk of workers being abused or exploited, according to the Sun. Many dancers are from Eastern Europe or South America, though Katzman told the Sun he has plenty of American dancers who cross the border to get to work.
A lawyer representing the Adult Entertainment Association of Canada is planning to challenge the law to let the dancers keep working. But in the meantime, the clubs are coming up with plan B -- like offering students tuition money to strip.
"The girls can take any class they want to help better themselves," Katzman told the Sun.

Eight towns in Sullivan County have been working with attorneys and engineers for nearly four years to come up with agreements to protect local roads should a high-impact activity, such as gas drilling, come to the region. At the Tusten Town Board meeting on October 3, there was a public hearing for Tusten's version of the proposed law, and it sparked some objection.
Supervisor Carol Wingert explained that the law would only apply to certain projects, depending on such things as the number of axels on the trucks related to a specific project, and how many truck trips would be involved over time. Councilperson Eileen Falk said the law would not apply to the trucks of local businessman Ned Lang, or local logging trucks or feed mill trucks.
Lang, however, who is running for a seat on the town board, objected to the law. He said, "We have this very, very restrictive zoning now that is a big stop sign to any new business coming in, so now as I understand it, if I want to build a house, I have to go through another permitting process about the amount of trucks that are possibly going to come into and go out of my site if I need to raise the grade, if I need 30 loads of top soil. This is just another huge impediment to any business that wants to come in here, and also developing any type of properties in our town. It sounds very restrictive and anti-business right from the get-go."
Planning board chairman Ed Jackson explained that developers with projects that would be likely to cross the threshold would be required to fill out an application for a "haul route," and also to pay for an engineering study to determine if a particular road was sufficiently strong to serve the developer's needs. If not, the developer might be required to "bring the road up to a standard to allow them to do what they want to do."
That prompted highway supervisor Glenn Swendsen to ask, "If somebody wanted to build a home or open a business, they're going to have to improve the road before they can open the business?"
Jackson responded, "No, it depends on what their traffic flow is. The average business would not generate enough traffic flow to get caught in the net, to get picked up in this process." Wingert said that also applied to the typical house.
Another topic of discussion was the baseline traffic study. Wingert said Delta Engineering had prepared a baseline study of the town roads, so the town could be certain of the condition of the roads in case a high-impact project damaged them.
Council member Norman Meyer said his recollection from Delta was that the baseline study was to be updated every year, which might fall under the auspices of the highway superintendent. He said if the town went in that direction, his own preference might be that a yearly study be done by a professional organization such as Delta.
"How much would that cost taxpayers?" Lang asked.
"Delta would have to tell us."
Jackson said the law is not limited to Tusten. Surrounding towns are passing similar laws. Lang said the law had not been posted on the website and he had not read it. Wingert said the hearing would be continued at another meeting on October 10 to allow people time to read it.

The parents of one of two Iowa cousins who were missing for months before hunters found their remains in the woods last week say their faith in God is stronger than ever.
Heather and Drew Collins said at a Thursday news conference hours before a memorial service for their daughter, Elizabeth, that while it's unlikely their family will ever get closure, they don't blame God for the deaths of their daughter and Lyric Cook.
Heather Collins said she knows God was with the girls.
"We know God was with them the whole entire time," she said. "We know where they are now. They're in such a much better place. They're going to have such a much better Christmas than we are."
Hunters found the girls' bodies last week in a wooded area about 25 miles from Evansdale, where the girls were last seen. Elizabeth was 8 and Lyric was 10 when they went for a bike ride in July and didn't return. Their disappearance and the search for them captured national attention.
Collins said she doesn't blame God for the girls' deaths.
"What happened to them was not from God," she said. "It was from the enemy."
Heather Collins also spoke about how the couple's three other children are coping with their sister's death. That includes counseling, and finding ways to speak to Elizabeth through drawing and looking up at the sky.
Drew Collins said that although the family may never find closure, they are determined to find who hurt the girls. He said he suspects the person may have been a sex offender.
"We want whoever is responsible to have to answer for what they've done," he said. "I think we'll get a little more closure then. We don't want this person to be able to hurt anybody else."
The couple said they will meet with Gov. Terry Branstad and other families next week to discuss death penalty legislation. Drew Collins said he supports the death penalty and he believes there should be changes to the judicial system on how prison sentences are issued to sex offenders who may commit again.
"If someone murders a child, they need to be punished severely," he said.
The couple said Thursday's memorial in Cedar Falls will be a celebration of their daughter's short life. Heather Collins said the family had always planned a celebration for when their daughter came home, though the circumstances are different.
"She did come home, even though it wasn't on earth," she said.
Lyric's family said a service for her will be scheduled after Christmas or early next year.

Philadelphia Phillies (37-51) vs. Colorado Rockies (34-52)
Vance Worley (4-5, 3.54) vs. Jeremy Guthrie (3-8, 6.05)
Time: 8:10, Coors Field
Media: Twitter and Facebook
Vance Worley will try to get the Phillies their first win after the All Star break when he takes the mound tonight in Colorado. Though Worley has excellent career numbers against the Rockies (2.25 ERA), he's never pitched at the notoriously pitcher-unfriendly Coors Field, which has a tendency to chew up young pitchers and spit them out. Can Vanimal handle the challenge of pitching in the thin air of the Rocky Mountains? We'll find out tonight.
On the mound for the Rockies will be career-underachiever Jeremy Guthrie. Though Guthrie has never really lived up to his potential as a pitcher, he has had a field day in the ten innings he's pitched against the Phillies, as his career 0.90 ERA when facing them indicates.
Lineup: Rollins SS, Victorino CF, Utley 2B, Howard 1B, Ruiz C, Pence RF, Pierre LF, Fontenot 3B, Worley P
Your Gameday Beer – Coors Original
In the spirit of this mile-high series, sip on a can of original Coors as you witness the Phillies hit the road. The "Banquet Beer," as it's known, is 5 percent ABV and is the oldest of the Coors beers. Buy a six-pack, eat some steak and potatoes with it, and be sure to dispose of the cans by stepping on them, just as the Phils will hopefully do to the Rockies tonight. – By Pat
Go Phillies!

Charlie, Charlie, Charlie. He's batting Jimmy first and Pierre 7th. – I guess desperate times call for desperate, …. something.
All we can do is hope it works, nothing else seems to.
Guthrie is probably one of the worst starters in the league in a hitting friendly environment of Coors Field.
Well, can we expect another 2 run effort?
Nah, I expect them to play pretty well tonight. These skids don't last forever, and you get into an opponent like the Rockies, weak as they are, and they'll be okay. I expected more last night, but I think the negativity was an overreaction based on the continuation of the end of H1.
So, we'll see, but I think they play a pretty clean game tonight, and win.
Looking pretty prophetic Ken!
Guthrie really is a terrible pitcher
Shane should be batting 7th. That's the bottom line.
Though I wouldn't mind if he proved me wrong tonight…
Your second sentence looms large as Vic has a good game, including a heads up outfield assist, and 2 well timed hits. Good to see him have a good game.
I had to laugh, I don't have the hometown feed tonight. The Rockies announcers said the Phillies fans were cheering Rooooo! after the Chooch HR.
One definition of a clean game is where you take a lead, and you don't have to stomp on the opponent's throat, but not let them back in it. That'd be a welcome respite from far too many games so far this year.
Silly me, I noticed at 8 PM that I was out of cat food, and went to the store figuring I wasn't going to miss anything!
Chooch! Guy is on a tear! Definitely the MVP for this year. I'm gonna start calling him Chooch Wilson in honor of the mighty Hack Wilson. Go Phils!
That was interesting that Vic squared to bunt on the next to last pitch on that last at bat. Might have been on his own, but if that was from the bench, I'm not sure what the thinking was. Here's a guy, and an important one you're trying to shake from a season long stretch of mediocrity, and after a good first at bat, you gotta let him feed off it. A liner to center is how it winds up, and at least it's something more to feed off as a good connection, even though it ended the inning.
Wow… the Phils are actually looking like a major league team tonight…
Nice catch! But I'd feel a lot more comfortable if we could put up a couple more runs…
ere was a series against the Mets I think in May at the Bank, and the Phils lost a lead in Game 1, and lost the game. Same thing in game 2. I don't even recall the size of the leads, might have been small and early, but the suspicion was it was giving the Mets confidence. By game 3, even with the Phils leading, you knew what was coming. And it did.
Extra runs would help, because losing this one, against this mediocore club, after a 4 run first would define excruciating. Not to sound paranoid, but this year is what it is.
Excruciating defines this entire season.
If you're going to bat Pierre 7th trade him. trade him now while aat least two teams have expressed serious interest. O's and Redds
That's an inning worth remembering if the Phils lose the game. The chain effect. Inning before, Pierre gets tossed stealing, setting up Worley to lead off the inning, and despite that, they get 2 on, helped by Tracy delaying the lefty until Howard, probably helping Utley get a hit to put the 2 on. and they still couldn't score.
4 runs might do it, but you sure can't bank on it. Gotta seize the chances you can.
OH BABY!!! That's making me feel a little more comfortable! 🙂
orioles hve some good prospects and some shitty starting pitching. Blanton would eaasily be intheir top 5 ritation. Blanton, Pierre and some $$$ will get you some good from Baltimore.
Saavy baseball people like Buck and Duquette would seem foolish to think of Blanton right now. If the trade market thins, then Joe might look more favorable, but why spend chips now when Greinke might wind up available in another 2 weeks. Joe should be considered a Plan C for the time being.
That list of 2 inquiries for Pierre might double in a couple more weeks. What's the rush to trade him? And besides, Juan's got some good offense to talk about, but you just can't forget his defensive weakness. A buyer has to beware.
Good points, but the sooner the Orioles make moves the better for them. I like what RAJ got for Thome. No harm in waiting more, but if a decent deal comes take it.
In reply to PSUJoe, who wrote below here…
"the sooner the Orioles make moves the better for them. No harm in waiting more, but if a decent deal comes take it."
I might have sounded too patient on the O's participation in the trade market. Essentially, what I was saying was Joe's not worth rushing to. But that wild card race is tight, and if they scouted him, and saw something positive, maybe it's sensible. If they are gonna trade earlier than later, I think they'd be better off trying to get Bartolo Colon or oft travelled Kevin Millwood than Joe from a list of less than ideal candidates, but their scouts might think differently.
I'd guess the main reason Vance was even allowed to hit there was because the Rox were through the Cargo-Cuddyer part of the order.
Sure worked out. Now an easy 6th would really be ideal. Like 15 pitches or less.
Doncha wanna just kill Jake sometimes? He's so freaking good, but he can be so freaking wild. I don't know how much he's regressed over the year, but he sure hasn't progressed.
Control of this game is definitely wearing thin.
And the 'pen strikes again! Get that sales plan ready, Ruben!
5 outs?
After the first inning I thought they are off to a great start…..then nothing for several innings and the Rockies started chipping away and I thought Sh*t…not again. And I thought I hope they dont lose tonight but at least it looks like they made a concerted effort to stay in the game and not give up so easily. I enjoyed the game so much more because they put some effort into trying to protect their lead instead of the usual. Go Phillies….keep it up!!!
More kudos to Shane – had his first extra base hit, 2 of them last night in over a month.

Analyst hiring season kicks into gear
The post-bonus season merry-go-round in equity research has started spinning, with a number of analysts leaving Citigroup in recent weeks and others resigning from Morgan Stanley and Barclays.
Hiring season in the City of London traditionally gets underway in late February and March as bonus payouts land in accounts, freeing individuals up to resign ahead of moves to rivals.
At Citi, a number of analysts have already resigned, according to people familiar with the situation.
They include Alastair Johnson, a food retail analyst who ranked as the second-best in the sector in last year's Thomson Reuters Extel survey, based on commissions paid. He is moving to the buyside and will join Majedie Asset Management as a senior analyst in the summer.
Adrian Cattley, a generalist who previously worked in Citi's well-regarded economics and strategy team before moving to sector research, has also left ahead of a move to the buyside, while Ruchi Malaiya, a media analyst has also left.
Malaiya is understood to be joining Bank of America Merrill Lynch, which has also hired Peter Bisztyga, a utilities analyst at Barclays who has featured prominently in industry rankings in previous years, and Lauren Favre, a chemicals analyst who returns to BAML after a brief stint at Millennium Partners.
Another analyst on the move is Rupinder Vig, a member of the Morgan Stanley's aerospace equity research team who ranked as the second-best analyst in the sector based on votes from corporates. Vig is understood to be moving to the buyside.
Such moves typically trigger a domino effect, with firms that suffer departures hiring from rivals to fill the gaps. Citi in turn has hired a number of analysts, including Sarel De Witt in Johannesburg, who has joined from Structor Investment, and engineering specialist Klas Bergelind from Nomura. The bank has also hired for its telecoms and pharma teams.
Senior trading figures entered 2014 feeling optimistic about growth in European equity trading volumes, while the busy primary calendar has also given equities executives given cause for optimism.

How much luggage am I allowed to bring to Macedonia?
Most airlines have baggage size and weight limits and assess charges for transport of baggage that exceeds this allowance.
There are no uniform standards so the amount differs from airline to airline. The Peace Corps has its own size and weight limits and will pay any excess baggage charges providing the baggage does not exceed these limits. The authorized baggage allowance is two checked pieces of luggage with combined dimensions of both pieces not to exceed 107 inches (length width + height) and no single piece to exceed 62 linear inches. One carry-on bag is permitted with dimensions of no more than 45 linear inches. Checked baggage should not exceed 100 pounds total with a maximum weight allowance of 50 pounds for any one bag. Most airlines allow one personal item such as a purse or laptop computer. If you exceed an airline's baggage limits, you may be assessed a fee. However, if your baggage conforms to the parameters stated above, Peace Corps will reimburse you provided you have a valid receipt. Please check the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Website for a detailed list of permitted and prohibited items at http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/ permitted-prohibited-items.shtm.
Peace Corps Volunteers are not allowed to take pets, weapons, explosives, radio transmitters (shortwave radios are permitted), automobiles, or motorcycles to their overseas assignments. Do not pack flammable materials or liquids such as lighter fluid, fireworks, cleaning solvents, hair spray, or aerosol containers. This is an important safety precaution.
What is the electric current in Macedonia?
It is 220 volts, 50 hertz. If you plan to bring electronics with you, check with a good store to purchase the appropriate voltage transformers or plug adapters. There are two types of transformers—one for small appliances and the other for larger items. Electrical sockets in Macedonia fit standard European plugs, so if you bring an adapter shaped like a square, it may not fit into the socket. It is better to wait and buy 220-volt appliances when you arrive in Macedonia.
How much money should I bring?
Volunteers are expected to live modestly and at the same level as the citizens in their community. They are given a settling-in allowance and a monthly living allowance, which should cover their expenses. Often Volunteers wish to bring additional money for vacation travel to other countries. Credit cards and traveler's checks are preferable to cash. If you choose to bring extra money, bring the amount that will suit your own travel plans and needs. Bring at least 60 dollars cash to put away in case of emergency evacuation. Macedonian currency will not get you far outside of the country.
When can I take vacation and have people visit me?
Each Volunteer accrues two vacation days per month of service (excluding training). Leave may not be taken during training, the first three months of service, or the last three months of service, except in conjunction with an authorized emergency leave. (Note: annual leave may be taken during the last three months of service if it is within Macedonia.) Family and friends are welcome to visit you after pre-service training and the first three months of service as long as their stay does not interfere with your work. Extended stays at your site are not encouraged and may require permission from your country director. The Peace Corps is not able to provide your visitors with visa, medical, or travel assistance.
Will my belongings be covered by insurance?
The Peace Corps does not provide insurance coverage for personal effects; Volunteers are ultimately responsible for the safekeeping of their personal belongings. However, you can purchase personal property insurance before you leave. If you wish, you may contact your own insurance company; additionally, insurance is available from various sources and we encourage you to consider it carefully. Volunteers are cautioned not to ship or take valuable items overseas. Jewelry, watches, radios, cameras, and expensive appliances are subject to loss, theft, and breakage, and in many places, satisfactory maintenance and repair services are not available.
Do I need an international driver's license?
Volunteers in Macedonia do not need an international driver's license because they are prohibited from operating privately owned motorized vehicles. Most urban travel is by bus or taxi. Rural travel ranges from buses and minibuses to trucks, bicycles, and lots of walking.
What should I bring as gifts for Macedonian friends and my host family?
This is not a requirement. A token of friendship is sufficient. Some gift suggestions include knickknacks for the house; pictures, books, or calendars of American scenes; souvenirs from your area; hard candies that will not melt or spoil; or photos to give away.
Where will my site assignment be when I finish training and how isolated will I be?
Peace Corps trainees are officially assigned to individual sites during pre-service training. This gives Peace Corps staff the opportunity to assess each trainee's technical and language skills prior to assigning sites. If feasible, you may have the opportunity to provide input on your site preferences, including geographical location, distance from other Volunteers, or living conditions. However, keep in mind that many factors influence the site selection process and that the Peace Corps cannot guarantee placement where you might ideally like to be. Most Volunteers will live in small towns or in rural villages, but will usually be within one hour from the nearest Volunteer.
How can my family contact me in an emergency?
The Peace Corps' Office of Special Services provides assistance in handling emergencies affecting trainees and Volunteers or their families. Before leaving the United States, you should instruct your family to notify the Office of Special Services immediately if an emergency arises, such as a serious illness or death of a family member. During normal business hours, the number for the Office of Special Services is 800.424.8580, extension 1470. After normal business hours and on weekends and holidays, the Special Services duty officer can be reached at 202.638.2574. For non-emergency questions, your family can get information from your country desk staff at the Peace Corps by calling 800.424.8580, extension 2421 or 2422.
Can I call home from Macedonia?
International phone service to and from Macedonia is reasonably good throughout the country, but can be rather expensive. Calling cards can be used from some telephones; check with an international long-distance company to see if it provides services in Macedonia. AT&T permits collect calls from Macedonia to America. The AT&T access number when calling from Macedonia is 00.800.4288. You are likely to have ready access to a telephone while living with a host family during training and may be able to receive calls from home. Trainees are discouraged from making international phone calls from the host family telephone. Most Volunteers also have phones at their site. Volunteers with laptops have successfully used an Internet phone service available locally called Dial Pad. Volunteers will have the opportunity to buy a local pre-paid phone for local calls during training. Many volunteers also consider bringing an unlocked smartphone to access wi-fi hubs.
Will there be e-mail and Internet access? Should I bring my computer?
Internet, including wireless, and e-mail access is available throughout Macedonia and Internet cafes can be found in most major cities. If you already have a laptop and do not bring it with you, you will probably wish you had. As with any valuables, you should seriously consider purchasing personal property insurance for a computer before you leave; it is not that expensive and well worth the price. If you choose to bring valuable items such as a laptop, or musical instrument, bring a sales receipt or other documentation of ownership. In the event that we have to send your belongings home as unaccompanied baggage, proof of ownership prior to your arrival in Macedonia must be presented to Macedonian customs officials to avoid excessive customs fees and/or export restrictions.

Here are what some of our influencer moms are saying:
fantasticfour says:
I taught them how to skate backwards, "rubber leg" and the chicken dance on skates. The girls had a blast learning all these things and it's like I all of a sudden became "cool" to them.
Maries_Mom23 says:
My oldest daughter is 8 and has been going through a very rough time lately. We spend a lot of time talking about it and about how everything makes her feel.
mumsy2three says:
One of the most important things that I have always stressed to her is to use her voice. You can be mad, sad, happy, whatever but I think it's important learn how to communicate and express yourself to others.
hayliedlr says:
We as a family stand strong and connected and and do many activities together. We don't do anything extraordinary but just going for a walk and talking. We talk about school, friends, school activities even their hopes and ambitions.
by KaylaMillarMay 22, 2012 at 2:05 PMCan't wait to hear what these moms have to say :-)
May 24, 2012 at 12:14 AM
My daughters are 12 and 14 and we have a very close relationship. Granted there is the horrible "I don't knows" and "MOOOOOMMMM!!" in there but for the most part we are close and have a good time. I hope this relationship grows into a beautiful friendship once they are grown up and have families of their own. We have always been close and although I wish they weren't typical teenagers I do love my relationship with them.
We did a couple of activities together this week. We went rollerskating on Tuesday and had a blast. They weren't aware I could rollerskate better than they can. We went during the week when it wasn't crowded and they learned I used to rollerskate competitively. We had a blast and I taught them how to skate backwards, "rubber leg" and the chicken dance on skates. The girls had a blast learning all these things and it's like I all of a sudden became "cool" to them. I thought it was fun and they spent the evening discussing all the things I knew and can't wait for me to go skating with their friends so I can teach them too!
The other thing we did was plan a pool party. I gave them a budget and a sales paper and they picked out what kind of food and drink they wanted. Then we got on the computer for the flyers and came up with an awesome design. I have to say, with all my computer courses in college, they know much more about how Word works than I do! I learned some interesting things there. They passed them out and are very proud of the acomplishments that they have done. We went shopping for it tonight and it's all we talked about.
Do I consider myself a good role model for my daughters? Absolutely. I am trying to be the woman I hope they surpass. I say that because every parent wants their child to be better than they are, have more, and enjoy life more. I've learned some hard lessons in my life, and I hope I can teach them how to get past it.

My daughter, Briana, is almost 11. She is the most amazing young lady. She is my heart and soul. We do so much together, but her favorite thing to do is go grocery shopping, just the two of us. I make it very special since we only grocery shop once a month. I take her out to breakfast at the local pancake house and then we ride to the city to shop. It takes about 2 hrs. During that time we talk, joke and have a great time. It may not seem like much, but for my dd it is special.

My oldest daughter is 8 and has been going through a very rough time lately. She has a thyroid condition that is basically making her hit puberty early and she's not dealing with it well. We spend a lot of time talking about it and about how everything makes her feel, etc.
This past week, we waited until her 5 year old sister was asleep and done mani/pedis together, had popcorn and chatted about everything from marbles (her new obsession) to sewing to her upcoming swimming lessons. I also learned she has some fears of entering 3rd grade in August.
I love spending time with her alone and need more time to do so! :)

I have a 12 year old daughter, and we tried to spend as much of the weekend together as we could. We can't always have alone time because I have a 3 month old baby and sometimes it's hard to get out just the 2 of us, but that doesn't mean we can't try something fun. We went out for lunch (her choice), swim suit shopping (because we'll need that for a later activity), and then to the nail salon.
We went "swimming" later that day in the sprinkler- BURR!! I haven't done that in years! But it was fun running through the sprinkler and splashing each other. It was something small, but it was nice to focus just on her for the day, and I could tell she really appreciated my effort. I have been trying to do little days like this since we found out we were expecting her little brother this time last year.
I think that I'm a good role model for her because I know what's important for my family, sometimes the cleaning gets pushed aside so that everyone gets special time to feel loved and special.

My dd is 18. She will be graduating from high school on June 5th. My dd and I have a very good relationship. She has always felt comfortable to come to me about anything and everything. I think that I have been a strong and positive role model for her through the years. One of the most important things that I have always stressed to her is to use her voice. You can be mad, sad, happy, whatever but I think it's important learn how to communicate and express yourself to others.
One of our favorite activities to do together is Yoga. We use that time to chat or joke around. Whether we are indoors or outdoors we use that time to strengthen our minds, bodies and find balance.
The most recent activity my dd and I did together was go shopping. We had a girls day out at the local outlet mall. It's nice to have a day together without the boys. We shopped, talked and laughed while we were there.
I asked my dd to name 5 things she liked/admired about me then I told her 5 things that I admired about her. Our list is below
Aly said I am: honest, upfront, easy going, there for her and skinny. I had to laugh out loud about the "skinny", she said what I'm glad I don't have a heavy mom I have a healthy one.
I said Aly is: caring, has a good sense of humor, is trustworthy, intelligent, and easy going.

My Eldest daughter is 8 going 28;) She is already a pretty strong individual, but I want her to stay that way! So, for our activity, we participated in a cancer walk at a beach near us. It was so nice to hang out together and get some excercise and some sunshine. It didn't hurt that it was for a great cause! We chatted as we walked. It makes me so excited to see her grow up! She's turning out to be a lovely young lady. We were almost dead last in the cancer walk because of all of our lollygagging;) but we had a lot of fun while walking. After the walk, we walked on the beach and enjoyed looking for seashells. She also told me what she loved about me. And I got to tell her what I love about her~ it was cute because even thopugh she was holding a camera, she forgot to hold it at me cuz she was so flattered;) For our second activity, we jump roped for each other. She looooves to jump rope! And I remember that I loved it as a kid too~ I told her about how I won a medal at my school for jump roping and she was impressed! hehe~
Our 3rd activity was writing thank you notes to each other. I absolutely loved my thank you note~ it said "thank you for all the puffles and angry birds and for showing me how to work the tv. And for always taking care of me" It was adorable~ I will treasure it:) I strongly recommend writing thank you notes to each other~ even if its a basic one;) we really enjoyed this activity and I will always treasure my note... I put her note to me on the fridge and she put my note to her on her bedroom door. What a special memory that was:)
In conclusion, I hope that I'm able to build my girls into strong women. I hope to keep being active with her and letting her realize her dreams~ no matter how big~ it's possible!

My Daughter and Me ........ Beauty All Around You
Sapphire, my oldest, is 16 years old. Our relationship is pretty good but there could be improvements. Mostly on my part. lol
She has shown me so many things about myself that I wouldn't/couldn't have learned from anyone else or anywhere else.
I would like for our relationship to be in tune to each other more than what we have now. But all in all, we love each other very strongly. .
We went to the park together and took pictures of the things we both like and like to do. We searched for just the right song to put with the video she made of the pictures that were taken and we found that we like some of the same songs through searching for the perfect song for that video. .
She saw the two of us as a mom and daughter going out and having that mother daughter closeness of doing a project together. Spending that one on one time with no interruptions and having a great time being close, she wishes we could do that all the time.
I would like to think I am a good role model but in reality, I know that I made/make some mistakes and couldn't/can't go back and redo any of them. So, I just tried/try to go from where we left/leave off with a better mind set and attitude. And pray that I don't make the same mistakes again. She is definitely growing into a beautiful young woman and I am proud she is my daughter.
So, here is the video that we put together......... We hope you like it. Its titled...
For All You Girls

The family of a Brazilian man who was pronounced dead by doctors was shocked to learn that he was actually alive and breathing inside a body bag.
Valdelucio Gonçalves de Oliveira, 54, was pronounced dead by doctors from respiratory failure and multiple organ failure, reports News.com.au.
But when the brother of the "deceased" arrived at the hospital morgue to dress the body, he discovered that the body bag containing his brother was moving.
Gonçalves was in the hospital getting treatment for cancer. While in the hospital, he became ill and was taken to the emergency room, where doctors thought he then passed away.
The Menandro de Farias Hospital is investigating the incident.

|This topic is designed to assist the project management professional on how to relate insights gained from economic analysis to investment making requirements and information to company executives. Most companies have economists and cost engineers that provide thorough economic analysis on potential investment opportunities. Often, however, project professionals have difficulty with succinctly communicating to executives who may not have enough time to invest in the volume of analytical material that project economists typically produce to defend the project payout. Company executives are immersed in company strategy and are searching for projects to meet the company strategy. Economics and investment strategy are two related but different subjects.
Therefore, project personnel need to describe their projects to meet the key features that the company executive requires to render a decision to meet corporate strategy. This paper identifies the key concepts and details necessary to translate project economics into a few basic parameters to assist executives in investment decision making. The paper is written to provide the structure required for a project assessment document (PAD) with explanation and examples of the technical requirements for each section.

Even in gun-crazy America, most of us aren't shooting things as part of our day-to-day routine. So most Americans actually know very little about guns. Hollywood writers realized this a long time ago and, being writers, used it as an excuse to never do any fact-checking ever again.
5Silencers Turn Gunfire Into a Gentle Whisper
Where You've Seen It:
In The Line Of Fire, Die Hard 2, No Country For Old Men, Shooter, practically every James Bond movie.
The Myth:
Cautious spies and assassins know that if you're going to take out a bad guy in an office or a library, be sure to use a silencer. It turns the concussive "bang" into a neutered "ptew."
Above: Stealth.
Itty-bitty handguns aren't the only things you can silence. Giant freaking shotguns can even be fitted with a special silencer that renders them inaudible in quiet suburban neighborhoods.
Also, while silencers look all slick and expensive and fancy, Hollywood says pretty much any long, hollow tube will do the job. Grab a two-liter, stuff it with socks or something, and you can be just as dangerous as Mark Wahlberg in Shooter.
The Problem:
Exploding gunpowder is loud. Really loud. As loud as a jet engine. A little metal tube won't do a whole lot to stop that. This is what a suppressed handgun actually sounds like:
If you can't watch the video, let us sum it up: It still sounds like a freaking handgun. It does not make a soft phut that you could mistake for a kitten landing on a pillow.
An unsilenced gunshot is around 140 to 160 decibels--that's in the range where hearing it once can permanently damage your ears. If you've never had a gun go off next to you, trust us when we say it's loud enough that your whole body will flinch at the sound of it. A silencer can get that all the way down to 120 or 130 decibles, aka the sound of a jackhammer. Still loud enough to cause physical pain if it's close enough to you.
So a silencer really just makes a large gun sound like a smaller gun. If you're James Bond and are sneaking into the enemy's compound with a silenced pistol, you're basically hoping the guards will decide your gun is too small and wimpy to be a serious threat, and leave you be.
Many a GoldenEye guard made this mistake.
So why the hell do silencers even exist? Well, if you're in an outdoor, noisy environment, they can make quite a bit of difference. Specifically, they make it really hard to tell where exactly the shot is coming from, or how far away it is.
And as for silenced shotguns? They do exist. Here's one in action:
Yeah, that actually seemed to make it louder.
4Machine Guns are Magical Death Machines
Where You've Seen It:
Starship Troopers, The Mummy, Max Payne, Commando, every John Woo movie, Scarface.
The Myth:
It's an old joke by now that nobody runs out of bullets in action movies (unless it's suddenly convenient to the plot, that is). Hollywood shows some restraint with revolvers--usually no more than 10 or 11 shots per six-shot cylinder--but damn, do they go hog-wild with anything that fires full-auto. So much so that that most of us have wound up with an utterly ridiculous concept of how those guns work. They're seriously depicting these things firing a hundred times more bullets than they can actually hold.
Because you can't actually see the bullets in a machine gun, Hollywood takes this as a blank check to treat the inside of a gun as a magical bullet factory. So in Commando we see Arnold fire without changing magazines for what seems like half the movie:
The Problem:
If you've watched a news broadcast about U.S. troops in Iraq, or played Modern Warfare, you've seen this gun:
That's an M4 Carbine. It holds 30 bullets. Here is a video of a small child firing one of those on full-auto:
He didn't give up after four seconds because he got tired. He was out of bullets. OK, how about the gun you always see the bad guys using, the AK-47?
Here's somebody firing a real one, full-auto:
Again, empty after four seconds. That's because fully-automatic weapons fire really goddamn fast--around 700 rounds a minute. Only you don't have 700 rounds in the gun, you have 30. So, do the math.
In fact, a U.S. infantryman only carries 210 rounds total, which means a battle conducted with full-auto machine gun fire would be over in less than a minute even if you count the time it takes to switch magazines. Fortunately, they fire on full-auto so rarely that many of the military's rifles don't even have that capability.
"But wait!" you say, "I've seen war footage from Vietnam and Iraq and everywhere else and you can totally hear machine fire chattering in the distance at all times. Somebody's using it, dammit!"
That's true, they're just not shooting people with it. Full-auto is only really used for suppression, that is, to make the bad guys duck their heads and hunker down while your people maneuver into position. In fact, virtually all bullets are used for this. For each insurgent killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, 250,000 shots are fired that hit absolutely nothing. About three tons of ammunition for every one dude killed. Picture Arnold lugging that shit around.

How to Make a $10 Composter
Learn how to make an easy compost bin for less than $10 from Every Day with Rachael Ray magazine. From our collection of Kitchen Makeover videos.
Hey, I'm Evette Rios, Rachael's design buddy, and I'm here in a kitchen that I recently made over; and I'm gonna show you guys how to make your own composter. Because listen to this, this is something I didn't know, when you throw your food away in the trash, it ends up in a landfill and it does not turn into nice fertile soil. Instead, it just rots there because there's no oxygen, and it's not being turned. So in this kitchen, I actually installed this really cool composter. And how this works is you pull it out like this, you stick your food in the top and then it turns into soil here, in the bottom, in about 2 weeks. Something like this, although its super cool, will set you back about a couple $100; but I'm gonna show you how to make your own composter for less than $10. Creating your own under $10 composter is super duper easy. What you want to do is you wanna start out with a container like this one that's got a nice tight sealing lid on it, and something about 24 inches tall, that's a really good size to get started. And then you're gonna layer it with newspaper, a little soil, and then start adding your food. Super duper easy. So, here's how we get started. So, I've already made some holes in the top of my lid using a drill, I'll show you guys how to do that. But now, you need to make some holes in the bottom. You wanna make sure you make about 8 to 10 holes in the top and in the bottom. That's very important because it keeps the air flowing and it makes sure that the food that you put inside decomposes just right. So I've got my cordless drill here and I've got about a quarter inch bit in there, that's the perfect size to make the holes you need. So I'm gonna start over here. Okay. So, you know what, if you don't have an electric drill like this which everybody should 'cause they're super handy. But if you don't happen to have one, you can always make holes in plastic by taking a nice thick nail and warming it up with either a lighter or candle to get it nice and hot, and then you can pop it through the plastic, and you'll make beautiful holes like this without having a cordless drill. So I'm gonna flip it over, and then my first layer, the layer that goes down at the bottom is actually going to be newspapers. So I just took regular newspapers and cut them into strips, and I'm just gonna layer it down at the bottom. You can add newspapers-- a great way to get it started is with leaves also if you happen to have leaves that you've raked up, go ahead and throw those at the bottom. And you're gonna fill this up about a quarter of the way with all of your newspaper and leaves and things like that. So once you've got that layered in-- I've got some little rubber gloves here; If you don't happen to have gloves, you can always use a trowel or some sort of little garden tool to scoop in some soil. And you can use soil from your garden, or if you don't happen to have soil, you can always buy a bag of potting soil like I have here. And what you're gonna do is you're just gonna layer in some of the potting soil on top of your newspaper. There we go. And now, I'm just gonna kinda smooth it out so it covers up all of our newspaper. Like that. And now, you're gonna grab your garbage bowl from your kitchen that has any leftover food, bread, eggshells, and just kinda toss it in there. When you're composting, you wanna remember you really don't wanna include acidic foods like lemons, limes, things like that. Those you can just toss away 'cause that doesn't really make for good compost. And you're just gonna mix it in like this, and then I'm gonna add just a little bit of water just to make sure that the soil is nice and moist. You don't wanna add too much 'cause that will make it a little stinky, so you just wanna add a little bit. And then, as you're adding food-- you know, once you clean out your garbage bowl at the end of the day, you wanna make sure you add it to your compost and just sort of mix it around. And you'll know when your compost is ready when it all looks like this beautiful soil with very little chunks, then you're ready to take it out. Make sure you'll leave the chunks behind because those still need some time to biodegrade. So you put your lid on and you wanna make sure you store this in a cool, dry place like a garage, or on a patio; don't put this in the direct sun. And there you go, a quick, affordable way that you can do your part to help the environment. Thank you so much for watching

The Deal: Roche Cuts Deal With Inovio for Cancer, Hep B Therapies
Roche will make a $10 million up-front payment to Inovio with development and commercial milestones of up to $412.5 million for an exclusive worldwide license to the drug candidates and exclusive use of Inovio's Cellectra electroporation technology for delivery of the vaccines. Roche also has an option to license additional vaccines for cancers.
INO-5150 is a dual-antigen synthetic DNA vaccine that targets prostate-specific membrane antigen and prostate-specific antigen. Monkeys vaccinated with the compound generated "strong and robust T-cell immune response," according to Inovio. Those responses were the highest generated by a PSA-based immunotherapy in animal studies, the company said.
"IN0-5150 will allow promising combination opportunities with the Roche portfolio, particularly with our emerging cancer immunotherapeutic molecules," Hy Levitsky, Roche head of cancer immunology experimental medicine, said in a statement.
Roche has no therapies for hepatitis B in development, according to its official pipeline.
Another experimental vaccine in the deal, INO-1800, generated strong T-cell and antibody responses that led to the elimination of targeted liver cells in mice. "Those results indicate this DNA vaccine's potential to treat hepatitis B infection and prevent further development of the infection into liver cancer in humans," Inovio said.
"Collaborating with the world's pre-eminent oncology development partner allows us to rapidly advance two of our promising near-clinical stage immunotherapy products from our product pipeline as we continue our Phase 2 lead product, VGX-3100," J. Joseph Kim, Inovio president and CEO, said in a statement.
Roche presented promising data on its cancer immunotherapy anti-PDL1 antibody RG7446 at the American Society of Clinical Oncology this year. The compound is designed to make cancer cells more vulnerable to the body's immune system.
Roche's biologics arm, Genentech
Inovio also is working on is own VGX-3100, a therapeutic vaccine for human papilloma virus that the company says has generated "best-in-class T-cell responses in a Phase 1 study."

"The two brothers have good news for those who have been eagerly anticipating their collaboration as well: "He hit me up a couple years ago, "Let's do an album, I'll give you some beats, you'll give me some beats." I never gave him no beats," he says laughing. "That's the OG, let's use your beats. So I ended up rapping to his beats, I rapped to about 30 beats and he was supposed to lay vocals on them too. All of a sudden he was like "Yo, this album is done." He put the whole thing together." A release date is still to be determined, but the Jackson bothers do know what their collaboration will be called: "The Professionals, like some hitmen, assassins, professional with it. We're coming in to execute." - Oh No
"We actually just finished an album together" - Madlib

Oh, said he finished this shit mad long ago, and handed it over to Otis, and here we are. It was painful to hear Oh tell me how many full albums he's sitting on that weren't instrumental.
Right now it has release date in the same month as the next Madvillain... (that is not a quote from anyone but me)

I doubt it's done. Oh told me he was done with his portion. Maybe Madlib finished it and is sitting on it? Maybe he recorded 117 YNQ albums in the meantime? All guesses are equal at this point.

"I have all of his new a capellas, 16 tracks," Madlib says. "The same old thing, but new versions. I got the material a couple of weeks ago, so I'm getting used to it now."
Hey, everyone who is interested? I just got back from the Detroit 'Chrome Children' tour show, and on the way out I had the chance to speak with Peanut Butter Wolf, while he signed my tour shirt and took a pic with me. Anyways, I asked P.B.W. about the Melvin Van Peebles x Madlib/Quasimoto project, was it ever coming out, what happened? And, he said that, "Melvin Van Peebles did not give enough acapellas necessary to do the album."...So, I then asked, "...Well, does this mean that the project is cancelled and he said, "Yeah, I guess that it is for now." That was it for our conversation, and I left towards home.
So I guess P.B.W. and that answers it. The project is both, cancelled and will be on hold until the future permits.
I have hope that this album will still be released. They need to work this out.
the project will not happen the way it was originally announced (melvin album + madlib remix of melvin album) but it is slowly evolving into something else which we hope will happen in '11.

"Scroll down for pics back of the MVP suites up there in Hell's Kitchen NYC. Those master tapes you see? We've transferred 'em and Madlib is hard at work on Quasimoto Number Three."

I've been waiting patiently for an Oh No remix of OJ Simpson, but if this is an entirely new album then that's just fucking swell.
Not Guilty forever.
Posted 12 August 2014 - 12:41 PM
Just picked up that OJ Simpson record finally a few days ago, def curious to see what Oh No can do with a remix (I thought Ghettodes was better than the original album) -- If it's a new album still sweet to see Oh No will be doing the production.

Phillies Sign Mel Gibson…I Mean Delmon Young
Phillies Sign Mel Gibson Delmon Young
In what may amount to one of the most interesting/weird signings for the Phillies this offseason, a 1-year, $750,000 deal for outfielder Delmon Young is now on the books. He is cheap, but this kid has issues. This past April, Young was arrested for a Mel Gibson-esque, alcohol-infused episode in which he hurled anti-Semetic slurs at a group of people in New York City before a game against the Yankees.
Back in 2006, Young was suspended for 50 games from the International League after throwing his bat which hit an umpire in the chest. In 2005, Young received a three-game suspension for bumping a minor-league umpire.
Young has also been ridiculed for his horrific defense and as a result, he was used mostly as a DH in 2012. He posted a .947 fielding percentage with the Tigers over 31 games. That ranks him 267th among all outfielders in the majors.
To recap, Young hates Jews, umpires, and fielding balls. The only family-friendly thing I can think of to say is, "Oh my…"
In Young's defense (not the baseball fielding kind), he was the 2012 ALCS MVP for the Tigers, batting .353 with two home runs and six RBI in a 4-game sweep of the Yankees. He does have some power and nailed 18 homers in the 2012 regular season, although he only batted .267 with a .296 (yikes!) on-base percentage.
Young is young at 27 years old. If he overcomes prior injuries, including off-season surgery for bone spurs in his ankle, he could bounce back to his top form of 2010 when he hit .298 with 21 homers.
And hey, who wouldn't love having TWO Young's on their team to keep us all on our toes? I am sure Michael Young is happy to have the company. On the flip side, Domonic Brown is probably contemplating having many, many stiff drinks as he wonders if this team will ever consider him an everyday, major-league outfielder. Poor kid.
So if you are not a Jewish person, an umpire or a baseball, please join me in welcoming Delmon Young. Hip, hip, hooray??

The records compiled on this CD-ROM provide a valuable insight into transatlantic passenger travel during the period 1858-1870. Owing to the threat of a Fenian uprising in Ireland, and because of the large amounts of Irishmen living in America, Dublin Castle ordered that the incoming passenger lists for all the major ports of Britain and Ireland, of passengers arriving from America, be submitted to them for scrutiny. The American Civil War, 1861-1865, only made the threat from America more real in government officials eyes.
However, Irish names are just one part of this collection. Scottish, English and Americans names were also recorded. The figures breakdown as follows:
Irish 27%
English 27%
Scottish 30%
Americans 1%
Others 15%
As well as providing details on the names of individuals you can also discover in which class they travelled, their final destination, age, marital status and even occupation. It is the most complete list known to exist. It includes:
Over 42,000 names and details of passengers
Information on over 150 ships
And the 815 voyages undertaken
Help files and detailed introduction
This CD-ROM is a must for all those studying migration from North America to Britain, Ireland and Continental Europe, as well as the passenger ships that carried them. System Requirements

Collins Scores Five in AU Win over GW
from press release
The American University lacrosse team picked up its first
victory of the season by upending George Washington 17-8 Wednesday
at Jacobs Field.
Sophomore Kimberly Collins led all scorers with five goals, while Chiara Speziale, Emily Stankiewicz and Bernadette Maher notched three apiece. Junior goalkeeper Kaska Komosinski also had a stellar performance, recording seven saves and anchoring an American defense that allowed only eight goals. Sarah Phillips garnered three tallies for the Colonials, who were outshot 30-18 in the defeat.
The Eagles (1-1) got off to a flying start in the first period when Samantha Marshall navigated around a defender and put American up 1-0 at the 1:53 mark. Speziale got her first goal of the afternoon three minutes later before two George Washington tallies tied the game at 2-2. The two teams then exchanged goals before Collins and Stankiewicz combined for three straight tallies, giving the Eagles a 6-3 lead midway through the period.
Sarah Phillips responded with a goal for the Colonials (1-2) before two more American goals concluded the first period. Speziale ducked around a George Washington defender for an unassisted goal at the 21:36 mark, and then Emily Burton found Collins streaking through the middle to give American an 8-4 lead at halftime. The Eagles held advantages in shots (16-10), ground balls (7-4) and turnovers (6-10) at the break.
Neither team would budge at the beginning of the second half as the Eagles and Colonials traded three goals apiece in the first 13 minutes. Stankiewicz finished a free position shot to open the scoring, but Mia Breheny responded with a quick score for George Washington. The back and forth affair continued until Speziale scored on a free position shot at the 28:35 mark, putting American up 12-7 and kicking off a 6-0 run. Collins and Maher each had two goals on the run that all but sealed an Eagles' victory. Despite a Phillips tally in the game's final minute, American left Jacob's Field with a resounding 17-8 win.
Stankiewicz had a solid all-around game, finishing with three goals, three ground balls and a team-high four caused turnovers. Five different Eagles notched three points or more in the victory.
American will look to win its second straight at home when it faces UMBC on Saturday, February 26 at 1:00 p.m.

The Bears have lost their most consistent offensive lineman for the rest of the season.
Lance Louis, who started the Bears' first 11 games at right guard, was placed on injured reserve Monday because of a knee injury that he sustained in Week 12 against the Minnesota Vikings. Louis was injured on a blindside hit by Vikings defensive end Jared Allen, who leaped to knock down Louis during an interception return early in the third quarter.
Bears coach Lovie Smith said Allen's hit was unnecessary.
"I think our game could do without that play," Smith said. "We have an injured player right now based on it. I think he could have gotten blocked a little bit differently, but that's about all I can probably say about it.
"I'm sure the league will look at it and give another opinion about what they think."
Minus Louis, the Bears could insert Edwin Williams into the starting lineup or have Gabe Carimi start at guard. Carimi never had played guard before he filled in Sunday because of injuries.
Smith did not provide any information on the status of the Bears' other injured players, including running back Matt Forte (ankle), cornerback Charles Tillman (ankle), wide receiver Devin Hester (concussion) and left guard Chris Spencer (knee).
The Bears will return to practice on Wednesday at Halas Hall. They will host the Seattle Seahawks (6-5) next Sunday at Soldier Field.

The Carada Precision Series projection screens have strong, attractive frames that are
built from a rectangular 2 inch wide by 1 inch deep aluminum extrusion. All Carada projection screens are covered
with our Black Hole™ velvet trim to absorb any overspill light from your projector.
The projection screen surface material snaps to the rear of the screen frame to give you a perfectly flat viewing
surface. Wall mounting brackets are included with all projection screens.
The Carada Precision Series fixed frame projection screens are available in five standard aspect ratios. Custom
projector screens are also available based on your projection screen size or aspect ratio.
Sometimes called NTSC, Academy, or 4:3, the aspect ratio of these home
theatre screens is the shape of televisions made before High Definition came on the scene. This aspect ratio was the
earliest so many older movies were made in this projection screen size including classics like Citizen Kane, Wizard
of Oz and many others.
View all 1:33 to 1 projector
This is the aspect ratio of High Definition Television, and is sometimes
referred to as 16:9. It is the most popular aspect ratio for a fixed home theater screen because it is a good
compromise between the 1.33 to 1 format. It is the perfect projector screen for widescreen movies like Indiana Jones
or Lawrence of Arabia.
View all 1:78 to 1 projector
A huge number of movies have been made in this common film ratio for front projector
screens that are just slightly wider than the aspect ratio of our High Definition TV Screens for Projection.
Not one of the more common video formats, but projection screens built to this aspect ratio can be a good choice
for film enthusiasts who want to roughly split the difference between High Definition TV and the widest screen for
projection formats.
View all 2:05 to 1 projector
This ultra-wide fixed screen for projector film format
has been used on many of the most beloved films ever made for screen to projector devices, including Star Wars,
Titanic, and The Lord Of The Rings.

No honor in recall effort.
Gosh, tons of Scott Walker recall petitions – with billions (or is it millions? the numbers keep going up) of signatures (many of them soon to be weeded out as duplicates, invalid, fraudulent, from out-of-state, signed by Mickey Mouse, Adolph Hitler, or people known as "X", from the grave, or stolen from people who had no intention of signing such garbage) were dumped at the Capitol in Madison today.
The recall process is on!
Doesn't matter that Governor Walker is one of the best – if not THE best – governor this state has ever had. Named "Governor of the Year." Highlighted by Nick Shultz in USA Today who wrote an article devoted to the many accomplishments and staunch leadership abilities of the governor . Governor Walker has turned this state around – made it fiscally sound, without raising taxes forcing anyone to lose a job. Incredible. And for this – a recall effort??? In the future, other governors will find themselves emulating Governor Walker if they wish to save their states from fiscal ruin. Why in the world would anyone - with an ounce of common sense or level of sanity - want to recall Scott Walker?
This brings me to a letter I read on the Opinion page of the Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel (Monday, 1/16/21). The writer deserves applause for summing up the Walker recall efforts and Walkers accomplishments.
If the liberals were still in charge, they'd jack up taxes and "stay the course" former Governor Jim Doyle set us on. You know, the course that put us $3.6 billion in debt. Governor Scott Walker has had the courage to make the tough but necessary calls to fix the problems he inherited. The Republicans, in less than one year in office, set an unprecedented example by fixing the fiscal train wreck Doyle left us.
The recall attempts seem more about defending the failed status quo rather than fixing or even acknowledging the problems. Handing the keys back to the Democrats will return Wisconsin into the downward spiral of reckless government spending, tax hikes, lucrative union relations in government, a hostile business climate and a general disregard for the taxpayer. Why should the private sector not only carry the burden of the recession but the lofty union costs, too?
So here we are again, facing another attempt in which liberals attempt to sleaze their way back into power by trying to recall Walker and other Republicans. There's no legitimacy, respect, righteousness nor honor in the cause to recall Walker. The recall process was intended for removing politicians guilty of corruption and criminal acts. But shameless bullies, the recall supporters, are abusing the process because they simply disagree with Walker's policies.
- Donny Burke, Oshkosh, WI
Bravo, Mr. Burke. I'd also like to add what the recall effort is really about. The Democrats and Obama in Washington D.C. and the federal government need the unions. The unions provide big $$$ to their political coffers – via forced union dues from members who have no choice whether or not they even want to belong to a union. Governor Walker has curtailed this practice – nipping it in the bud. Giving people a choice – the freedom to decide whether or not they want to belong to a union in the first place. The freedom to decide whether or not they want union dues automatically deducted from their paychecks – to go to the union leaders who in turn can give it back to the Democrats. Very simple. Connect the dots. Think President Obama and unions all over the country aren't focused on Wisconsin at this very moment? Think again.
Also, one big question people need to ask themselves – is the State of Wisconsin better off today – after a year of Governor Scott Walker – than the Doyle years? If you don't answer "yes" – you aren't being honest.

These too are honeybees. they made their hive in a hollow tree.
they too are caring for their young.
but these are native japanese honeybees. and they are not quite as defenseless as their european cousins.
THEY haVE EVOLVED A SECRET WEAPON AGAINST THE GIANT HORNET.
one they may meet often in this deadly season.
this hornet is the advanced guard of an attack force the bees could never withstand.
but this time THE BEES SET A trap. they want the hornet inside. and the hornet obliges.
The SCOUTs main task IS TO MARK THE SPOT WITH A telltale pheromone … SO THAT her sisters CAN FIND IT LATER.
But the native honeybees know her game.
By swinging their abdomens to and fro they signal their strategy to one another.
the bees hold off until the last possible moment. and then, as if of one mind, they swarm.
the hornet is engulfed by hundreds of bees.
but they don't sting the intruder. instead, as revealed by thermal photography, they all begin to vibrate, gradually raising their collective temperature to 117 degrees Fahrenheit.
Japanese honeybees can tolerate a temperature of 118 degrees.
Their victim's upper limit is 115. The hornet scout is slowly roasted alive.
And the secret of the honeybees' location dies with her.

Exelent service I will be back again next time .
Car Technic did a great job. I am very satisfied. Will definitely come back. One of the biggest factor why this job felt so satisfying is the guy who took care of it: Daniel. He delivered everything he promised on time and with the best possible quality. Thank you so much.
Mike is brilliant, patient, professional and explains everything to those of us who know absolutely nothing about cars. I paid him exactly what he quoted no hidden extras. A Smart car is a tricky one to sort out regardless of the problem and after trying several garages found Sphynx Garage on Whocanfixmycar.com Mike is fantastic. He rang me up and asked what the problem was. Came our at a time convenient to me, diagnosed the problem and had it sorted that night. Explained everything he was doing and why. Booked the car in for an MOT with him too. Excellent service highly recommend this garage.
Mike was very helpful and polite. He had excellent customer service skills. With extensive knowledge of car mechanics and a quick turn around time I would definitely recommend him to others. I will be contacting Mike in the future for all my car repairing needs.
My speed dial was not working on my Vauxhall Corsa and I wanted to find a place to fix this problem. I went on line on to who can fix my car. I did not have to wait long Mike from Sphynx Vehicle repairs responded back within the hour and left me a number that I could call. Mike was polite an explained the process that my car was to have a diagnostic test he got back to me straight away with the results and choices which was on offer and how much each of these was going to cost and how long this would take after making my decision Mike kept me informed and updated me on the progress and when my car was going to be ready. The invoice listed the works carried out the speed dial is now fixed. I will be using this company in future the customer service is very good and Mike is contactable and is always ready to explain the full issues occurring with your car I would recommend him to my friends and family members
Very impressed with the service and speed in which Mike solved the problem with my van. Can highly recommend him.
I finally found a great mechanic next door! He offered me to collect my car at my address, then showed me all the parts which I needed to be replaced, giving me different options of parts about quality and prices. He kept me updated about the work progress and He took only one day to fix it. ( Only because the parts wasn't available straight away). Now my car runs perfectly without any problems. I definitely suggest this garage!
Car repair was done to good standard (slight delay in getting it back from them due to paint shop issues) They were polite and kept me informed throughout. Polite and friendly. Not dealership level repair but good enough for the price.
Always a pleasure dealing with these guys as legit as they come, I would recommend they be your first choice you won't be disappointed. First class service.
Brilliant garage. I needed this wing mirror very quickly as I had to go Glastonbury the next day and these guys got it done straight away. They were also friendly, honest and as someone who's had a lot of bad experiences with garage these awesome guys put me at ease. Not to mention the price was very reasonable considering some chain garages were quoting me over double! Will never going anywhere else now! Thanks again :)
Prompt and efficient service
Very friendly and prompt service, really happy with the job. I've used these guys a few times now and will definitely use them again.
This is an excellent local garage that I wish was more local to me - but worth the journey. Joe, who runs the office side of the business, is brilliant and reassuring (my car is extremely old). There were clear explanations at every stage and all the work was fast and efficient. I highly recommend this garage
Efficient service, repair as requested, competitive price, car left clean etc. Recommended
Efficient service, repair as requested, competitive price, car left clean etc. Recommended
job was not done by this garage .not saying garage is not good just did not use them
very good service, kept informed of all works that car needed with costs agreed.very professional to deal with and will use again.
Did not use the garage
Nobody contacted me the garage did not even call me and this is two attempts to use a service from this site with no one getting back to arrange an appointment had to use Kwikfit to get my car done
Very good service
its very good i got good service
Job was quick, unbeatable prices. But, my dash board computer was not reset. Because of that I'll give 4 of 5.Apart from that great work, great price.
Experienced garage who dealt with a number of separate issues very well, including ordering in specialist parts. Returning to find the car washed and vacuumed was a nice touch. 8 stars rather than 10 purely for the fact that I was informed they would need to keep the car overnight and it was only when I put my foot down that the job was finished on the day. Normally I'd accept that but I had dropped the car off at 7am so clearly had hoped to be first in the queue!
Very good on the whole, the mechanic was able to fix the problem within half an hour. Branko very helpful and honest. Will definitely go again. They are a little pricey compared to the other estimates I received but you are guaranteed a very top service.
They were great, really nice people, very quick, would use again.
Very happy with service, done a decent job, would use again.
Pleased with the work done, would use again.

My BDF (Best-Dressed Friend): Part IV
