Program for International Legal Studies to host 'Restoring Faith in the Nuclear Non-proliferation Regime: Why Treaty Rules Matter,' April 6
DETROIT (March 29, 2010) – The Wayne State University Law School Program for International Legal Studies and the International Law Students Association are pleased to host "Restoring Faith in the Nuclear Non-proliferation Regime: Why Treaty Rules Matter" at 12:15 p.m. on April 6, 2010 in Room 2103 of the Law School.
Part of the Program's Winter 2010 Speaker Series, this event will feature Deepti Choubey of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington, D.C.
In May 2010, nearly 190 nations will convene at the United Nations in New York for a review conference to assess how well the provisions of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty have been implemented and to chart a path forward. Choubey will discuss whether implementation is feasible or whether weaknesses exist in both the process and substance of the treaty. She will also discuss related Obama Administration initiatives and how, she believes, the administration perceives its role with regard to this issue.
"Controlling the spread of nuclear weapons is one of the Obama Administration's highest foreign policy priorities, and the President's proposals played an important role in his receipt of the Nobel Peace Prize," said Gregory Fox, Wayne Law professor and director of the Program for International Legal Studies. "Deepti Choubey is one of the nation's leading commentators on non-proliferation issues, and so I think we have perfectly matched a critical topic with an insightful speaker. I'm thrilled she will be coming to Wayne Law."
This event is free and open to the public. Lunch will be served. Parking is available in Structure #1 for $4.25 across from the Law School on West Palmer Street.
For more information, please contact Holly Hughes at (313) 577-3620 or at firstname.lastname@example.com. Visit Wayne Law's Program for International Legal Studies online at http://law.wayne.edu/international-studies/index.php.

I really wasn't happy with the finish. it was one of the worst finishes I ever saw on a gun, specially one that cost $4,500.00 I started noticing spots of rust appearing on it even after oiling it. I took it apart the other night to discover the bolt & carrier blooming with rust as well. I took it to the shop today and tore it down tonight. I started polishing the parts and receiver and getting rid of some of the machine marks and grind marks. I am going to dulite it over the weekend and make it look like it should. this is the first time I bought a gun and had to tear it apart and refinish it before I even got to shoot it:mad::geezer:

Abler's column honestly states truth
Pete Abler's Sept. 12 column, "As I see it, to govern or to reign," is one of the most accurate commentaries on our imperial president ever written. His points regarding the Arab Spring and Obama's coddling of Islamic radicals should be required reading for every U.S. citizen.
His criticism of our inept mainstream media giants and their wanton disregard for investigating and publicizing Obama's radical views and associations should be published across the country. Barack Obama and his administration are driving this country into potential collapse.
I sincerely thank Pete Abler for bringing it to the forefront and honestly stating the truth.

Hide lines
After a hearty feed, the rain came bucketing down again as we waited for the minivans to take us to the boat, we used our time wisely and waterproofed all our stuff, the staff at the office were very generous with their bin bags. In the van we travelled with Tom and Katie, uh-huh TomKat, but we also refer to them now as the Science Nerds (in a nice way TomKat!). Tom's doing a Phd in ant behaviour, so we picked his brain endlessly about how they organise themselves and the different types we've been fascinated by our whole trip. Katie's writing a field guide to plants in her home country of Tanzania and had a pair of binoculars which she unselfishly shared with us all which made the bird spotting extra special. They both knew so much stuff about the bugs and stuff we saw in the Jungle Treks, their enthusiasm rubbed off on us quite a bit and it was like having an extra two guides the whole way - thanks guys, we love your bug chat.
The jungle camp was about an hours boat ride from the drop off point into the jungle then a ten minute walk from the jetty to to the camp and on the way we were already impressed by the wildlife on view. We'd hoped to see some Proboscis Monkeys at some point in the trip, we didn't expect to see a tree full of them round the first bend! We arrived at the camp in the knowledge that the cash we'd laid out had already been well spent. The almost constant rain over the previous 5 days had turned the trail to the camp into a quagmire! We were so pleased to see a massive rack of welly boots in the camp, and were a bit smug about our decision to buy football socks (which were intended to be leech protection devices). I tucked my trousers into those socks after the fist hour of getting there, and they pretty much stayed that way the whole three days! There's great comfort knowing the jungle stuff can't bite you, I loved my wellies too, slipping, sliding and squelching around in the mud was so much fun, like being a kid again.
Despite the death of Uncle Tan some year's previously, his legacy lived on in a 'program' of treks and river cruises that seemed to have been well honed over time. We tried to ignore the structure and feeling we that were being shepherded around like a flock of tourists to focus on the miriad of animal life on our doorstep. Each time we ventured out we'd see something new. I suppose the highlight of the trip might have been seeing an Orangutan, this was real wildlife, no rescues or feedings so we were amazed to find a young male who went about his business in our company for about 20 mins or so on our morning trek.
There was so much other stuff I'd never seen close up, not to mention in the wild, so the crocs were petty special too and the otters they have in that part of the world are easily 3 times the size of anything I'd known from the UK. They're still just as inquisitive though and couldn't help themselves checking us out when the guide whistled.
The most enthusiastic guide we've met took us out on a night walk, in the pitch black we went looking for spiders, scorpions, snakes and other creepy crawly things in your right might you wouldn't normally want to bump into on a dark night.
And bump into them we did, loads of stuff, the scorpion was definitely the scariest and I was glad not to have found any snakes but we also learned how to spot wee animals like that in the dark, we'll share the secret with you if you reckon you wanna know. So we saw some cool types of frog and saw hundreds of pairs of eyes peeping out of the darkness at us.
There was always plenty of food and a cold beer or two to be had back at the camp and we enjoyed sharing our sightings with the other groups that had arrived before and after us. Three river cruises and jungle treks later we were ready to be ferried back to Sepilok where we'd depart company from our Swedish mates once again heading off in separate directions, them to the scuba diving paradise of Sipadan, and us to Kota Kinabalu, where we thought we were gonna climb the mountain. Yeah, we didn't.
Instead we spent a few days in KK where Daniel, a friend Erik used to work with, was visiting and we had time to relax after our busy Borneo schedule. It wasn't a bad town to hang out in, we met Daniel in a club where a Filipino band were playing good covers of songs we all knew and sung along to. Daniel's a trooper, he sorted us out with accommodation when we first got to KL, came to meet us to collect our excess baggage so we wouldn't need to cart it all the way to the UK and brought our laptop all the way over to KK after it got fixed then took us out for lunch and drinks. Thanks for all of that Daniel, you're a good one.
Borneo was amazing, most of the time I couldn't believe I was actually there because the stuff you see in documentaries makes it seem so inaccessible, well, lucky for us, a lot of it isn't.

Playboy.com's Exclusive Interview with Adam Carolla
The funnyman and car fanatic talks comedy, Satan, and getting taken out of context.
Every once in a while comes a comedian whose mouth knows no bounds when it comes to the most hilarious, topical and outrageous commentary to ever reach the general public. From his modest comedic beginnings alongside Jimmy Fallon on The Man Show to currently hosting the most-downloaded podcast on the planet, The Adam Carolla Show, Adam is more than happy to weigh in on everything from politics to cars and every serious social issue in between.
After his live podcast last week at the 30th Anniversary Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal, we caught up with Adam prior to getting on stage with guest (and real-life neighbor) Howie Mandel as he explained the finer points of a new Hassidic sect's circumcision trends along with analyzing Mandel's crazy home videos (try not to Google his daughter).
Playboy.com: So you're going to Montreal for Just For Laughs. I guess you've heard about the student protestors by now. Do you think that has any place in North America?
Carolla: When did education and health care become free and a right? That's kind of how it is out here. Anything that costs money isn't a right in my opinion. We've had the Occupy Wall Street guys, there's a certain amount of people who are out there for the right reasons, then there is the other 93 percent who are just trying to get laid and sell crap. Basically the guys who hate the man and hate their job and hate their life….or just don't have a life. Whenever I see people taking to the streets on a weekday at two in the afternoon I'm always like, "Don't you have to be somewhere? Where do you get this kind of time?" and then I immediately become suspicious of them and don't like them.
Playboy.com: Would you say the Occupy Movement was in vain?
Carolla: It was a nice photo op for billionaires like Russell Simmons who live in 50,000-square-foot houses with golden toilet seats to go down and take photos with the 99 percent. It was nice for a lot of BS celebrities to go down and take pictures with filthy people who smell like patchouli oil and then get back in the Rolls-Royce and go back up the hill where they live in their gated communities. That part was cool! Other than that, it didn't really accomplish anything.
Playboy.com: Everyone likes to point at other countries and state that because Sweden or Canada has free health care, we should too. Is that acceptable?
Carolla: These notions where you get to cherry pick your countries and then go, "Oh, in Cuba they have universal health care." Michael Moore will tell you, "They have better health care in Cuba." Hey Michael, when you need your triple bypass in about six months, why don't we fly you out to Cuba? Do you want to go to the Mayo Clinic or out to Cuba? What? You want to go to the Mayo Clinic? Shut up, of course Cuba's a pile of crap and of course no one wants to live in Cuba — they all have the same health care in Cuba, which is horrible health care. And by the way, whenever a leader of another country gets sick, do they fly them into Cuba? No, they fly them into the United States so they can have the best health care in the world. By the way, how's Europe doing financially? Are they doing great?
Playboy.com: I think they may be having some cash flow problems.
Carolla: Yeah, I wonder why. [laughs]
Playboy.com: You're an atheist, right?
Carolla: I am.
Playboy.com: So I know you don't believe in god, but do you believe in the devil?
Carolla: No, unless you mean Donald Trump.
Playboy.com: So why would you push back the birth of your twins so they wouldn't be born on 6/6/6?
Carolla: This is a very good question. I'm not a believer of the god or the devil, or Friday the 13th. But if someone asked me, "So did you want to go bungee jumping on Friday the 13th or Thursday the 12th?" I would probably say Thursday the 12th, just so I wouldn't be the guy who went bungee jumping on Friday the 13th with people saying, "Yeah, I knew that cord would snap." With C-sections, you can go any day. As long as you're going to toss a coin you might as well toss it this way, and more so for the kids. Because the kids would have to go through their whole lives, when filling out paperwork, they'd have to do the 6/6/6. My son might not be able to get laid by a Christian girl in 15 years, hypothetically. Half the population of this country believes in angels and fairies…and astrology.
Playboy.com: You ranted a bit on Comic-Con the other night on Leno. Why are nerds taking over?
Carolla: We shouldn't and we're letting them and it's out of control. As I said on the show, "Hey nerds! Christian Bale is not going to Comic-Con because he's a big star and doesn't feel like going to hang out with a bunch of losers. So if you don't want to see Batman, don't watch it! I dare you, nerd, you can't stay away." Why is the head cheerleader kissing up to the nerds? Shouldn't the nerds be kissing up the head cheerleader? I think the Internet has started…I blame Bill Gates, everyone's got to go kiss his ass? We've become slaves to the computer and thus slaves to the nerd. And they're all angry because of their high school experiences, so now us ex-jocks need to pay. I'm here to stand up for the jocks and tell these nerds they're still nerds, and I'll give them a wedgie if they keep it up.
Playboy.com: We hear you have a pretty sick auto collection. What's the favorite in your garage right now?
Carolla: I'm working right this second on a '72 BMW three-liter race car called the Batmobile, but has nothing to do with the Batmobile, they just call them Batmobile. It's a group two race car, it's confusing…Google Batmobile BMW CSL 3.0 1972, that's my car.
Playboy.com: What's the dream car you still don't own?
Carolla: I'd say a '67 Ferrari 275 GTV.
Playboy.com: You won the Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race this year, congrats. Any plans to continue racing?
Carolla: Monterey, Pebble Beach Rolex series. I'll be driving at Laguna Seca in a few weeks.
Playboy.com: When your recent remarks were criticized, the technology of blogs and social media made it so easy for them to go viral. What do you hate most about the media?
Carolla: I don't mind it at all. I have no problem with something that's accurate. But I don't think media should be shaping the news, they should be reporting the news. My story was the guy asked me who was funnier, men or women? And I said men are funnier. That turned into, "Adam Carolla hates women" and "Adam Carolla thinks women aren't funny"; no mention of the part in the article where I said "Of course there's plenty of funny women out there like Tina Fey, Kathy Griffin and Sarah Silverman." I listed three women who I thought are funny and they didn't mention that part. Ask me who's faster, a Kenyan or an Irishman? I would say a Kenyan, but you can't print "Adam Carolla says Irishmen can't walk." Unless you want to start some controversy, then you can. Is that news? If a plane goes down and four people die that's the story. You can't say 400 people die, I know you wish they did because it's a better news story. That's not the news, that's you making stuff up. I don't mind the reporting of the story, I mind the embellishing of the story to make your stupid point when obviously you have an agenda or else wouldn't be spinning it this way.
Playboy.com: What was your first Playboy?
Carolla: I used to babysit these kids next door and their dad had a Playboy. My dad wasn't decent enough to have a Playboy. Best Playmate ever, Candy Loving.

Evacuation orders expanded, growth slows on blaze near Lolo
MISSOULA, Mont. - Update from the Montana Fire Prevention Bureau:
Evacuations for the fire burning east of Lolo and east of the Bitterroot River include Oral Zumwalt Way, Trails End Road up to and including Evans Ridge Road. This is approximately 50-60 homes. The fire is not growing as rapidly as when first reported.
An evacuation has been ordered for residents living on Oral Zumwalt Way, Trails End Road, and Evans Ridge Rd, southwest of Miller Creek Road, east of Lolo and east of the Bitterroot River.
The fire is approximately 50 acres.
Multiple resources from Missoula and Ravalli county, DNRC, the US Forest Service, and several rural departments are on the scene.
Nonresidents are asked to not use Upper or Lower Miller Creek Roads at this time so fire equipment can get in and residents on Oral Zumwalt Way can safely leave.
We have breaking news as crews rush to contain a lightning sparked wildfire near Lolo; high winds in the area continue to push the new blaze east up the mountain.
The blaze is burning about 10 miles south of Missoula in the Upper Miller Creek area just east of the Bitterroot River and Highway 93.
People who live along Oral Zumwalt Way are being asked to evacuate and non-residents are asked to not use Upper or Lower Miller Creek Roads at this time so fire equipment can get in.
Witnesses first reported the blaze sparked around 8:30 p.m. Sunday evening.
We have been in constant contact with fire officials and we re-checked in with them just after 11:00 p.m. - they tell us the blaze has grown to 50 acres.
NBC Montana was on the scene shortly after the blaze sparked and we talked to residents who tell us they are very concerned for a number of homes sitting just a few miles east of the fire.
Lolo resident Liza Murphy says her son saw lightening in the area and came
running in to tell his parents that he smelled smoke.
"It's pretty scary because the wind is blowing and were worried that it might jump the river," says Murphy as she stand outside of her home looking up at the mountain. "The fire doesn't seem so huge but it's going really fast and it's almost straight down to the river so the wind better stop blowing."
Murphy tell us she's being precautious and has already brought her son to her mothers house.
We're doing our best to collect more information on the blaze and we will continue to update our website with the latest.

I have an AWESOME washer and dryer. We bought them when we first moved in at a scratch and dent store locally for about half of the retail price!
My cute little lint trash can next to the dryer - it matches the trash can in my kitchen.
Our pile-o-stuff on top of the dryer is completely random. You can find anything from mail to license plates to Alabama's NCAA sanctions (haha Noah - now we know what you're doing at work!).
Can you tell Noah and I buy things in bulk?? There's really no other place in the house to store all of the things we hit up Sam's for, so it ends up here.
The other side of the massive storage rack - and once again, very random. It's mostly home repair things on this side, but you'll also find the occasional Halloween bowl. :)
You will usually always find a garbage bag full of cans tied to the back of this door...we try to collect cans for scrap metal.
All of our winter coats are always right next to the washer so we can grab them on the way out the door. However, come to think of it, I'm not really sure why they are there right now, when it is 95 degrees outside. :)
And I just had to show this part of the laundry room. I've mentioned before that Hardy (my dog) has this weird thing where he will chew the rubber cap off of the springy thing that stops the door and just leave it next to the spring. He doesn't eat it, he doesn't even really chew on it, he just sets it down. If we put it back on, he'll just take it back off. We are convinced that he has OCD.
While I do have a laundry room, I don't have a bonus room or play room - so I thought I'd tack my hallway on, since there's not a week for it.
Looking into the hall from the living room.
A little further down the hall - that picture is my absolute favorite of us (and is the one you see in my blog header!).
The room straight ahead in this picture is the spare bathroom, the room to the left of that is the office, and the room to the right of that is the guest bedroom. The room on the right closest to us is the laundry room, and the room to the left closest to us is the master bedroom.
There's not much to my hall, besides the Dirt Devil
and Hardy's beloved toy basket.
You'll often find him next to it doing this:
God love him. :)
Thanks for visiting! Stop by next week to see our master bedroom!

Return trip
The S.O. and I had to take separate flights home. She was on Lufthansa and I was on United. I figured the S.O. would have had the better deal on Lufthansa-but as is typical for her, she found a way to fuck it up. She came into Frankfurt complaining about everything. The flight, the people sitting next to her, the seat, and the fact that it was snowing in Stuttgart and we had to take the train. It took every bit of restraint I had not throw my coffee on her while we were waiting at Starbucks. I've heard this type of whining many times before. I have long grown tired of it. If you don't like traveling then why do you ask to go? Certainly I would have had a better time had she not come along-but that seems increasingly to be the case. The only real blessing was that by the time we got home she was tired-and so I got some rare hours of time alone to myself.
Tomorrow is a work day-and the snow is still coming steadily down. The journey to work tomorrow will probably be most interesting, to say the least.
As for my flight-well United proved yet again that it sets low standards and then fails to meet them. Under the scowl of the S.O. I pre-charged with a couple of beers in the lounge-this to avoid the 6 dollar beers if I could. Like I have said countless times before-the nickle and diming of passengers is a disgrace-just charge 20 bucks more and serve drinks for free. American Air Carriers truly suck-in terms of service. I will be looking forward to traveling on the foreign based carriers when I begin my travel schedule after the first of the year. I only need 100K more miles to be a million miler, so that is one of my goals for 2013. Don't think I will make it-but I am going to try.
I did some reading on the trip. I finished Tom Ricks book, The Generals. My office mate really liked it-I am more ambivelant about the work. I agree with Ricks central point that America's flag leadership is sorely lacking in the traits needed to be successful. What I don't agree with him on is the reasons why this is-or how to cure it. I will write a more detailed review this week.
For now though, its time to cry myself to sleep and dream of better days.

Sorry to hear about issues with the SO. It's the season, I guess – am seeing a lot of that here as well. On a brighter note, am looking forward to your review of The Generals.

SECC 2006 President's Committee with Rowdy Roadrunner
(Photo by Mark McClendon)
President's committee leads UTSA charitable campaign
By Lynn Gosnell
Special Projects Writer
(Sept. 18, 2006)--Twenty-five faculty and staff members from across the UTSA Tri-Campus community are serving as the President's Advisory Committee (PAC) for the 2006 State Employee Charitable Campaign (SECC).
Selected by President Ricardo Romo, the committee members are steering a broad effort to inform the UTSA community about the benefits of this annual workplace giving campaign. Last year, 55 percent of UTSA employees contributed more than $212,000 to local, national and international nonprofit charities through the SECC. This year's campaign runs Oct. 3-Nov. 10.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy

Committee members assist with all aspects of the SECC campaign from planning and publicizing special events and agency field trips to securing prizes and gifts to offer as incentives for employee participation. (Sneak peak: We know that Spurs tickets are among the gifts. Thank you, President Romo for these great Spurs tickets! Each year the incentives get better and better.)
PAC members will be assisted by 150 Area Champions -- faculty and employees who step up to champion the campaign in their respective areas or departments.
Albert Carrisalez, assistant to the president and director for external affairs, will serve for second time as the UTSA SECC chairperson. "I am delighted to be a part of this campaign, working with the PAC team and all of the Area Champions," said Carrisalez. "The level of excitement and enthusiasm with these UTSA volunteers is incredible -- all wanting to make a difference for San Antonio, all wanting to help our fellow UTSA family members who are in need."
Members of the President's Advisory Committee and their respective departments are:
- Laura Baker (Athletics)
- Lynn Bishop (Academic Affairs)
- Tim Brownlee (Public Affairs)
- Albert Carrisalez (Office of the President/External Affairs)
- Paul Carter (Development)
- Rita Cortez (TRIO)

The Scene Behind the Scenes of the Television Industry
Like Toto in Oz who pulled back the curtain exposing the Wizard, Anthony Galvez, assistant professor of communication, recently flew to Hollywood to take a look at the wizardry behind film and television.
Selected from among media faculty nationwide by the Television Academy Foundation's Education Programs department, Galvez was among only 20 educators to receive an all-expense-paid fellowship to participate in a five-day faculty seminar in Hollywood.
"This seminar is not only a means of recognizing some of the top media educators for their leadership in media and television education," said Norma Provencio Pichardo, executive director of the Television Academy Foundation, "but it paves the way for their students by shedding light on aspects of the industry that are usually behind the scenes."
Each day Galvez met with top production and programming people from major studios, production companies and TV networks. "We were driven each morning to the academy's office complex," said Galvez. "Panelists, who consisted of Emmy Award-winners from various areas of the industry, would sit at a table at the front of the room, facing microphones, and present on topics and respond to questions."
Topics included the politics of the industry; how producers and writers function; the development of ideas; program selection, scheduling, promotion and cancellation; and digital entertainment. Panelists included Jerry Weintraub, executive producer of the "Karate Kid" trilogy; Len Amato, president of HBO films; and Jason Katims, producer of "Parenthood."
In the afternoons, the group received private tours of major production studios, such as Warner Bros., where they were allowed on the sets of "Two and a Half Men" and "Big Bang Theory." "Some of the studios were the size of a small city," Galvez said. They toured Stargate, a state-of-the-art visual effects studio and saw a live taping of the "Arsenio Hall Show."
Arsenio conducted interviews by reading from a teleprompter, said Galvez, which is common to most talk show hosts. He also noted the emphasis on procuring a young audience. "The producers hand-picked the audience members. We were the only members of the audience over 30. In the television industry, the goal is to attract the young – the Millenials."
On the last day of the seminar, the group was invited to an exclusive meeting of programming executives from ABC, CBS, CW, Fox and NBC.
"It was a very closed meeting," Galvez said. "All cell phones had to be turned off and no photos taken. Because the networks are always trying to 'out program' each other, none of the young executives would talk about their future programming; they only spoke about how they have programmed in the past. They did discuss in detail the research that goes into programming for primetime television. We discovered how each network makes decisions and how they interact with studios and advertisers to make it all profitable."
Galvez summed up the seminar as a "once-in-a-lifetime experience." "I am now better equipped to advise my students on skills they'll need to break into the industry and to educate those who will shape its future."

Pomegranates become available in late fall just in time to grace holiday tables—all too often as decorations. For this festive roast the fruit is used in three forms: as a thick, sweet molasses for the filling plus whole seeds and juice for the sauce. Slicing through the roast reveals a colorful pinwheel of crushed walnuts mixed with the pomegranate molasses.

Serves 8
Prep Time 50 min
Total Time 130 min.
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a roasting pan with foil. Coat a rack with cooking spray.
Step 2
To prepare pork & filling: Toast walnuts in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool. Place the walnuts in a sealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Transfer to a medium bowl and mix in 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses, oil, garlic, 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper.
Step 3
Using a sharp knife, make a vertical cut two-thirds of the way to the bottom of the pork. From there, slice outward horizontally to about 3/4 inch from the sides. Unfold the pork.
Step 4
Place the pork between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or heavy skillet, pound the pork to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Remove the plastic wrap. Using a spatula, spread the filling over the surface, leaving a 1-inch border. Starting at the short edge, roll the roast up fairly tightly, completely enclosing the filling. Tie the roast at 1 1/2-inch intervals with kitchen string.
Step 5
Season the roast with the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper and coat with the remaining 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses. Set the roast seam-side down on the prepared rack. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 155°F (it will increase to 160°F as it rests), about 1 hour 10 minutes. Transfer the pork to a clean cutting board; tent with foil and let rest for 10 minutes.
Step 6
Meanwhile, prepare sauce: Combine pomegranate juice, broth, honey and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil until the sauce has reduced to 1 cup, 15 to 25 minutes. Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl; add to the sauce and cook, whisking, until slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
Step 7
Remove the string and carve the roast into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Serve with the sauce and garnish each serving with pomegranate seeds.

Well deserved, he's played like garbage lately.
Well deserved, he's played like garbage lately.
So let me get this straight: He should essentially stop living his life, stop doing other things, beat himself up mentally, talk to no one, and basically kill himself because the Giants are playing badly now? No offense, but some of you people are really sick to get angry over something as innocuous as a Facebook post about a hat. I'm quite sure that he knows he's got to play better, along with ALL OF HIS TEAMMATES.
Hating on him is straight up idiotic
I came into this thread thinking Oh my, are we becoming like eagle fans now? But i dont think what they were saying is wrong. I expected them to cuss and insult him, but all i saw was things such as "please stop dropping the ball". and "you need to focus more on football and catching passes". The worst thing that was said was "do you think people will care about this after your team got embarrassed? Not the exact words but you get the point.
I think this will motivate him to play better and for some reason i dont think he will take it personally. Sometimes you need to hear a little bit of criticism.
It's just the way the world is and every fanbase has morons. I'm not saying their right but people are upset. We got completely embarrassed by the Bengals. Now real fans know that this can happen any given Sunday but people also expect for the SB champs to be competitive.
I do feel bad for Victor cause it is not all his fault and just because he has a FB account, doesn't mean fans have to crucify him.

Hey everyone! Good to see some familiar names still around here and there are PLENTY of new names which I am looking forward to meeting. I use to be an active member here back in the day (since 2008) when I was building and researching a ROTJ Boba Fett costume. Well mission complete and got sucked into my garrison board which I have been the proud CO of for the past two years and other CS positions prior to that. So sadly haven't been as active on here lately. That being said, Its time I get back to working on a Fett but this time going after good ol' dad. Plus never hurts to have another bounty hunter is the repertoire. Currently have an ROTJ Boba and Bossk.
So I've been looking around here trying to find some info and seems like a lot of the old info isn't here anymore? Idk feel like a newbie all over again. LMAO
Anywho here is where I am at now with the build:
I got this kit from a friend who passed away over a year ago and I am not about to let this costume and his love for Jango fade away. I decided to pick up the mantle or bucket rather. That being said we were similar height but he was a little heavier than me which baffles be about the girth belt but I'll come back to that. So with that what do you all think of the vest? Want to keep as much original as possible but know some things will have to be adjusted to get a spot on screen look.
And here is a close up of the jumpsuit and gloves, thinking its the right color but want all the critiques possible. This suit is about 4 years old if not 5 so know info has changed since then. LOL
Back to the girth belt...he was a heavier guy as you can see by the vest, but why can I not fit the girth belt around me flush. It can fit, but there would be a gap between the ends that could be covered up by the leather slip. Is that how it is for all you Jangos as well?
Bucket is being painted but this Rustoleum Royal Blue is not wanting to play well but I am working on it bit by bit. Also preparing and sanding the JP. Saw a GREAT thread http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f28/q...90/#post535565 about Jango's clissic JP but sadly all those colors are not held in local stores anymore. Anyone have any color suggestions off hand? Right now I may have to wing it. I guess where I am caught up on the yellow on the JP. Is it a yellow like boba's shoulder bells a orange yellow? I think that it is but some of the art exhibits just look yellow.
Thanks for all the help and looking forward to the build

It's time to get rid of that drip-catching bucket under your kitchen sink. Whether your pipes need total replacement or just tightening, here's how to put an end to the leaks. We'll show you how to find the leak, then fix it for good.
Loosen slip nuts, then straighten crooked pipes. Retighten metal nuts with a slip-joint pliers. With plastic nuts, hand-tighten first. If that doesn't stop the leak, gently snug up the nut with a pliers.
The washers that seal pipe joints won't hold water unless one section runs straight into the other. The "ground" joint on the trap has no washer, but it too will leak if it's misaligned. Eyeball the leaking joint to check its alignment. If it's crooked, simply loosen the nut, straighten the pipe and retighten. Since the whole assembly is interconnected, you might misalign one joint while straightening another. Don't be surprised if you end up loosening and tightening several joints to straighten just one.
If a joint is aligned but leaks anyway, tighten the slip nut. Use two slip-joint pliers on metal pipes: one to hold the pipe, the other to tighten the nut. If you have old metal pipe, you might find that it has worn thin and collapses when you put a pliers on it. With plastic pipe, hand-tighten first. If that doesn't stop the leak, use a pliers. But be gentle; plastic threads are easy to strip.
Before you can stop a leak, you have to find its source. That can be tricky. Water that escapes your pipes can travel a long way before it drops onto your cabinet's floor.
Here's how a drip detective tracks the source of a leak: Fill both bowls of the sink with lukewarm water, not cold. (Cold water can cause beads of condensation to form on the pipes, making it impossible to find the leak.) Then get under the sink with a trouble light. Dry off all the pipes and examine the seals around the basket strainers. If you don't see any droplets forming, remove both sink stoppers and watch for telltale dribbles.
Joints are the most likely source of leaks, but old metal pipes can develop pinhole leaks anywhere, especially in the trap. If you can't find any leaks in the drain system, check the water supply lines that serve the faucet. Finally, check for "splash leaks," spots where water seeps under the sink rim or faucet base. To find these leaks, use a rag to dribble water around the faucet and sink rim, then get underneath and look for drips.
Disassemble the drain assembly so you can remove the leaky strainer. Turn slip nuts counterclockwise, using a second set of pliers if necessary to keep the pipes from turning.
Turn the locknut counterclockwise to remove the strainer. Have a helper stick the handles of pliers into the strainer holes and keep the strainer from turning using a screwdriver.
Cut the locknut with a hacksaw if you can't unscrew it. Cut at a sharp diagonal angle and be careful not to cut into the sink.
Roll plumber' putty into a rope and encircle the drain opening. Install the rubber washer and the cardboard washer and tighten the locknut using the same method you used to remove the old one.
The primary seal around a basket strainer is plumber's putty, which doesn't last forever. Over the years it can harden, shrink or crack. Sometimes you can stop a leak by tightening the locknut. But in many cases, the only cure is a new dose of putty.
Photos 1-4 on show you how. You can reuse the old strainer if all the parts are in good shape, but it usually makes sense to replace it. Since you have to take apart most of the drain assembly to get at a leaking strainer (Photo 1), consider replacing the drain lines if they're old.
The hardest part of this job is unscrewing the old locknut, which is often welded in place by mineral deposits or corrosion. A special wrench designed just for locknuts, called a "spud wrench" or "locknut wrench" (Photo 2). Big slip-joint pliers with a 3-1/2 in. jaw opening will work too, plus you can use them for other jobs. Whatever tool you use, you might find that the locknut won't budge. In that case, a single cut with a hacksaw blade is the only solution (Photo 3). It's almost impossible to do this without cutting into the strainer threads, so plan on buying a new strainer.
Attach the tailpiece to the basket strainer, but don't fully tighten it yet; you'll have to remove and cut it later.
Slide the trap arm into the adapter. Then attach the trap and slide the arm in or out to position the trap directly under the tailpiece. You may need to cut the arm or add an extender.
Hold the waste tee alongside the tailpiece about 1-1/2 in. below the top of the trap. Mark the tailpiece 1/2 in. below the top of the tee. Cut both tailpieces to the same length and install them.
Slip the waste arm onto the second tailpiece, make it extend about 3/4 in. into the tee and mark it. Cut and install it.
Loosen the slip nuts and slide the tee up or down so the waste arm slopes slightly down toward the tee. Tighten all the nuts.
Some leaks can't be stopped with straightening or tightening. Stripped nuts won't tighten and old washers won't seal because they're stiff and distorted. You could get new nuts, washers or drain parts. Since plastic pipe is so inexpensive and easy to install, the smart, reliable fix is a whole new drain assembly.
You can buy everything you need at home center. Kits for side outlet assemblies (like the one shown here) or center outlet assemblies (where the trap is beneath the center of the sink) contain most of the essential parts. But you might also need:
Here are some pointers for a smooth project:
When in doubt, mark and cut pipes a bit long. Better to cut twice than cut too short and make an extra trip to the hardware store.
This photo shows the parts needed to connect the strainer to the waste arm. For a larger image that also shows the trap and trap arm, see the Addendum.
Brush a little Teflon pipe thread sealant on male threads. It lubricates the threads and makes slip nuts much easier to tighten. Check the label to make sure the sealant is safe for plastic.
A rubber coupler connects the PVC pipe to the steel drainpipe.
The drainpipe coming out of the wall has an adapter on the end. This adapter has a washer and slip nut and works just like the other joints in your drain assembly. If your drainpipe is plastic, you shouldn't have any problems. But if your drainpipe is old galvanized steel, you might run into corrosion that makes the slip nut almost impossible to loosen or retighten.
Here's how to bypass those rusty old threads: Unscrew the old slip nut. Cut it off with a hacksaw if you have to, but try not to cut deep into the drainpipe's threads. Buy a plastic trap adapter, a rubber transition coupler, a section of plastic pipe and cement. The pipe and adapter can be PVC (white) or ABS (black); just be sure to get the right cement for the type of plastic (PVC also requires purple primer). Cement the adapter to a 4-in. piece of pipe and join the plastic pipe to the old metal pipe using the rubber coupler.
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.
You can buy everything you need for a new drain assembly in a kit at home centers for about $15.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Does anything motivate him? Food, ball, tug? To bond with my dogs I hand feed them and do obedience and handling exercises in exchange for dinner and breakfast every day.
Hi Katiz,
My primary motivation in posting on this thread is to "bump" your thread up so others with more experience can reply.
Having said that, I think it would be helpful to have a better understanding of the "day-in-the-life" of your dog. You mention the training classes in your post, but what things are you doing (or have you done) on a daily basis to engage the dog in fun/engaging activities that aid in improving the bond between handler and dog? In addition, it would be helpful to know what type of exercise your dog is getting on a daily/weekly basis.
Sorry that you are having problems. Hopefully others will chime in.
Need help - not responsive, no focus ADHD
Ok so I have my gorgeous German shepherd male - Dex
Dex is 9months old. We have been going to doggy classes for a few months now and I have been trying to do basic training with him from day one. (Got him at 10weeks old)
He is over the top. Non stop. It's at the stage where a German shepherd pro at my classes (his passion is GSD and is obsessed with mine) came outright and said he isn't normal. Looking for other opinions please
They thought he was deaf tonight. No matter what we used... Clicking behind his ears while looking elsewhere. Calling him. Whistling. Squeaky toys. All noises were completely ignored and he never even looked at you once... ( we had one person holding him and in the sit position while four others stood in different positions around the hall we were in. (All other dogs gone by this stage so no distactions).
I decided to test this a bit when I got home. He occasionally looks when I say his name. His ears flick with scratching the sofa. And he sits on command when I cover my mouth. But this varies. Sometimes, sorry... Most of the time he ignores me. He acts like he has ADHD. He is everywhere and cannot focus at all. He will never look at me. Even in the house. If there is any distraction for ex. Leave the house. Other dogs. Other people he goes mad and you can't say or do anything to get his focus or attention. I e tried good held at my face for teaching focus which is fine in my kitchen but works no where else.
He is a gorgeous, soft dog. But he is so unruly I am considering having to give him up. There is no bond. Never had been as much as I've tried. He has no respect and there is no joy in having him at the moment.
I'm running low on what to do.
He gets over excited at seeing any dog and sounds hugely aggressive with constant barking till he eventually gets to say hello (once he's calmed down) and he is a very big and strong boy for 9 months old.
Opinions and advice hugely appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Rio Dell – The Clean Up and Redevelopment of a Small City
Located among towering redwood trees and adjacent to the magnificent Eel River in Northern California, the city of Rio Dell is working to develop its economy. Rio Dell is using a $200,000 Brownfields grant to evaluate contaminated and underutilized property located along its central business corridor. Petroleum contamination in this corridor can impact soil and groundwater with consequential adverse impacts to human health and the environment.
Settlers founded Rio Dell (population 3,250) and neighboring cities in the 1870s to support the region's lumber industry. Rio Dell's downtown economy has stagnated since the 1970s when the lumber industry began to decline and U.S. Highway 101 was rerouted from the downtown area to a route outside and away from the city. Consequently, retail activity suffered and numerous downtown gas/service stations n Rio Dell's main street were abandoned.
The city, in consultation with EPA, has used the innovative "Triad" approach to site assessment and decision-making as they work on redeveloping the downtown area and revitalizing the economy . The Triad approach includes three key concepts: systematic planning, real-time measurements, and dynamic work strategies. More information on Triad »
Rio Dell, EPA and the state of California collaborated to develop a triad based workplan. The centerpiece of the site assessment technologies utilized by Rio Dell is a tool known as a membrane interface probe (MIP). The MIP is a contaminant-screening tool, with semi-quantitative capabilities, that acts as an interface between the contaminants in the subsurface and gas phase detectors at the surface. The contaminant information is analyzed, plotted, and graphed at an on-site mobile laboratory. This allows the MIP operator to determine the location of contaminants and the relative concentration of contaminants in the soil or groundwater in which the contaminants are located. The MIP graph can then be used to determine the depth at which a monitoring well should be placed, at what depth samples need to be collected, or the interval for injection of remediation materials.
The City of Rio Dell used the MIP to quickly gather subsurface contaminant information at its Brownfield sites to aid in guiding the collection of necessary soil and groundwater samples in areas of likely contamination. This allowed for a timely and more complete site characterization than is typically available under a traditional approach of multi-workplan/mobilization/sample collection efforts. With the assessment work quickly accomplished, Rio Dell is now able to quickly clean up and redevelop the area.
Rio Dell's innovative approach to clean-up and redevelopment is allowing the city to support and promote economic growth in spite of its small size and limited budget.

Manchester, KY is located in the southeastern part of Kentucky, in the Application Mountains. Beautiful scenery, but that's about it. Manchester (also known as Gunchester) is one of the most redneck, hillbilly towns in the continental US. it's also one of the most corrupt cities in the state of Kentucky. Barefoot and pregnant, squirrel eating/killing, four-wheel atv riding, and METH are the things most notable about this town. If you find yourself here, either leave soon or forever be a part of this small community of rednecks. Located east of London, KY.

APPROACHING ICE: Poems. Elizabeth Bradfield. viii + 102 pp. Persea Books, 2010. $15 paper.
DARWIN: A Life in Poems. Ruth Padel. xviii + 141 pp. Knopf, 2009. $26 cloth, $17 paper.
If you are a scientifically trained poetry lover who has always wanted to travel to the polar regions or the tropics, or a lover of poetry who would like to venture into the history of science, you can fly away to those distant reaches on the pages of these two books. Elizabeth Bradfield, author of the poetry collection Approaching Ice, has worked as a naturalist in Alaska and the Eastern Canadian Arctic. Ruth Padel, author of Darwin: A Life in Poems, has visited tiger forests in China and Russia, as well as tropical and subtropical forests in Brazil, India, Nepal, Bhutan, Laos and Sumatra. She is, moreover, the granddaughter of Darwin's granddaughter Nora Barlow, from whom she first heard about the complexities of the marriage of Charles and Emma Darwin.
Bradfield's Approaching Ice is a miscellany of poems and annotated texts that makes use of the writings of two dozen Arctic and Antarctic explorers. The book unfolds in roughly chronological order, from John Cleves Symmes and James Weddell, who went north around 1820, through Roald Amundsen, Ernest Shackleton and Richard E. Byrd in the early 20th century, to Lynne Cox, who, in the late 20th century, swam the Strait of Magellan and the Cape of Good Hope.
Scattered throughout are definitions of ice formations from Nathaniel Bowditch's The American Practical Navigator, poetically elaborated with the subtext of what seems like a love story. That story's precise nature is never clear, although the reader senses that polar exploration is hard on domestic life. Take this example, from the last of these prose poems, whose sections each begin with one of Bowditch's definitions:
ice-worn. Abraded by ice.
You may feel this one acutely, here at the end of this glossary.
Me? I'm polished, not worn, glossy after the passage of tons of ice across me, the stone of my heart buffed to a sheen. Scoured. Ready for love to find a new foothold on me.
I am not sure that the double locus of poles is enough to make this book of poems coherent, but complexity rather than coherence may be the author's aim. She presents big personalities engaged in comic, tragic and triumphant adventures, but we often have to guess at what is driving them. Robert Louis Stevenson argued persuasively that when we read a romance, it's better not to know too much about the protagonist, for then we more easily insert ourselves in the story and live it out. Bradfield does seem interested in the psychological oddities that drive her characters north or south, but there are so many of them that we meet them in sketchy vignettes rather than stories. So although she observes, "romance lies thicker than permafrost here," the book hovers between romance and history.
One of the most affecting glimpses is that of "Polar Explorer Frank Hurley, Photographer on Shackleton's Endurance Expedition (1915)." Forced by shipwreck to reduce the record of the voyage to a few pounds, as Shackleton saved his gold watch, lighter and coins, Hurley laid his glass negatives on the ice and inspected each one:
they declared
what mattered most: silver nitrate
lyrics, spoken light.
He made shards
of some 400 plates then packed a few reels of motion
film, prints already made, and the 120 negatives left unbroken.
Hurley guarded these treasures for half a year on the ice shelf and then for several months more on Elephant Island, waiting for rescue. And here is an account of Apsley Cherry-Garrard in 1911 trying to bring back penguin eggs for scientific study, although due to myopia he kept tripping and dropping them:
Carrying the thin shells back,
tent shredded by wind, boots lost to wind,
stove fueled with the emperors' flensed meat.
Direction blown asunder and the mind's progress in question.
At the ends of the Earth, the poet suggests, the few bits we can amass reveal their infinite value, their true meaning.
Approaching Ice engages with the history of science by focusing on the human quest to reach and explore the poles, then refracting and multiplying many glimpses of that quest. Readers who find themselves wishing, as I did, for fewer characters and more plot should turn to Ruth Padel's Darwin: A Life in Poems, which follows Charles Darwin from birth to death in episodes that, like Bradfield's book, make interesting poetic use of prose. Notes in the margins tell us whose letters or documents are being cited, and Padel manages the cadences of prose quite skillfully. Sometimes the marginal notes add important historical detail. Although Darwin was a rather sickly man of science, his life was enlivened by the famous voyages, his wife and children, and a long-distance collaboration with Alfred Russel Wallace.
Here is Darwin's reaction (his own words fitted into lines of verse) to his initial encounter with rainforest in 1832: "Delight / is too weak a word for how a naturalist, / alone the first time with all this, must feel." Padel's embroidery on the silk of prose is surely the record of someone who also once stood in Brazilian rainforest:
He's walking into every dream he's ever seen:
tasselled seedpods, trefoil, nodule;
shrapnel of decaying trees like giant
columns of a fallen temple, their gold-bone
mossy architraves upwelted with lianas.
Creepers—and a strangler ficus—crafting their way
to the light. Relationships! . . .
He's walking into every dream he's ever seen:

shrapnel of decaying trees like giant
columns of a fallen temple, their gold-bone
mossy architraves upwelted with lianas.
Creepers—and a strangler ficus—crafting their way
to the light. Relationships! . . .
The luxuriance of language here seems like syntactical onomatopoeia. The sections that record the end of Darwin's voyage, his visits to Patagonia and the Galápagos Islands, use the same exuberant language, weaving taxonomy and precise botanical and zoological description into poetry.
Darwin, who was reclusive and homely, was lucky to find a devoted wife in his cousin Emma Wedgwood. The one issue that divided them was religion, since Darwin's studies and his conception of truth as empirical led him early on to abandon Christianity. But here they are, betrothed:
They stood
silent in the drawing-room, surprised.
She'd be engineer of all his happiness. Bees
shifted honey-bags up his spine. He was roses
burning alive, and she was the haze
above tropical forest plus the unfathomed riches
within. Like giving to a blind man eyes.
That last phrase Darwin himself wrote after seeing tropical vegetation for the first time, on the Cape Verde Islands. His vision of nature was entwined with the lives of his children, too. The poem "A Sacred Feeling about Orchids" is made up almost entirely of quotations from his children who remember "the glory of being with him in the woods," lawn, pond, study and field.
Wallace, Darwin's admirer and acolyte, went to the Spice Islands in 1858. Padel observes, in the margin of the poem "A Birthday on the Island of Ternate," that both thinkers were led to see the connection between variation and selection because the processes of evolution express themselves most dramatically across islands, as living forms leap over and later are divided by the sea. Weaving together letters and reports of the two friends, Padel shows why in its best versions, scientific collaboration produces the deepest and most lasting insights; and why, come to think of it, theory depends on studies in the field. In "Painting the Bees," she writes,
past the sandpit to the Light Side's open view
of cloudshadow in Great Pucklands Meadow. Sun.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
He strings all seven children over
long grass and scabious in a chain, to paint
and track the bumblebees who pollinate red clover.
The idyll of her grandmother Nora's house, Padel reflects in the author's note that begins the book, must have owed a great deal to the Darwins' Down House in Kent.

This game does an extremely shitty job of telling players certain things.
It took me 6 hours of gameplay to find out I can jump.
quote:Humanity does a few things. If you are using a Chaos weapon, the damage scales with your humanity up to 10. Humanity also increases drop rate. Some NPC's react to your character differently based on if you are hollow or human when you talk to them.
Still have no clue about the benefits of humanity
quote:If you are human, you get 1 extra estus flask for every person that kindles the bonfire you last rested at. So if you rest a Firelink Shrine and 3 people kindle that bonfire after you rest there, you will have 13 estus flasks (assuming you've kindled). It's only a one time thing and you will only get 10 if you fall below and rest there again.
Why is it that sometimes i get an etra estus drink. Is that other online people giveing them to me or leaving them behind?
quote:I absolutely hate your kind. Not so much the people that do it as soon as I invade, but the people that wait until I destroy them and as they are dying they pull the plug. Makes me rage.

Payment Information
E-Billing (electronic billing) is now the official billing method at Rhode Island College. It is reliable, convenient and provides faster and easier service for students and parents – and is more green than paper billing.
Students will be sent an email when an E-Bill is available for viewing. This email is sent only to the student's official RIC email address. Students may also give access to parents to view their E-Bills and/or make e-payments by setting them up as authorized users. Instructions are below. All enrolled students will receive an E-Bill. If you want a paper copy of your bill, you can log into the MyRIC account to print a copy.
Payment of Tuition Bills
If you register for early registration, you will receive a bill and payment
will be due prior to the start of the semester. You may make payment by cash,
check or electronic check, or by credit card using American Express, MasterCard, VISA or Discover. These methods are explained in detail below. Financial aid that has been offered and
that you have accepted may also be applied to your bill.
If you fail to pay your bill by this date, you may be dropped from your courses. If you are dropped from classes for failure to pay your bill, you must make arrangements with the Bursar Office before you will be allowed to re-access the registration system.
If you are a non-matriculated student or a new student and you register during late registration for courses, you are expected to make payment within one week of your registration. You may make payment in person at the Bursar's Office or online.
It is your responsibility to make satisfactory payment arrangements. It is also your responsibility to make certain that your registration accurately reflects your enrollment intentions for the semester. Since bills are based upon enrolled credits, you should drop unwanted courses as soon as possible.
You should address questions regarding payment to the Bursar's Office in Building 4, East Campus. The telephone number for the Bursar's Office is (401) 456-8130.
Ways to Pay Your Tuition Bill
1. Electronic payment
Through the electronic payment option, you can pay by credit card or e-check.
Credit card payments will have a convenience fee of 2.75% added to each card transaction. There is no fee for electronic check processing. Students utilizing the Optional Bankmobile Vibe Account should process as an Electronic Check Payment (ACH) and provide the bank routing number and account number.
- For Students: Log into MyRIC and select the link under Campus Finances to make a payment and follow the instructions.
- For Parents: You will need to have the student authorize you to make the online payment. Once authorized, you will be sent a link via email from CashNet to complete the transaction.
2. Mail a check
Bursar's Office
Rhode Island College
600 Mount Pleasant Avenue
Providence, R.I. 02908
3. In-person payment by cash or check. Credit Card payments are accepted electronically only.
You may pay in person by cash or check at the Bursar's Office during regular business hours, Building 4, East Campus.
College Tuition Payment Plan
The college offers a monthly payment plan. The plan spreads your payment over
four installments during the semester. The enrollment fee is $35 per
semester. This fee is nonrefundable.
If you pre-register for courses for the fall or spring semesters, a bill will be forwarded approximately six weeks prior to the beginning of the semester. You may enroll in the payment plan by checking the payment plan enrollment box on the bill and forwarding 25 percent of the semester balance, along with the bill, by the due date indicated on the bill. You will be billed three more times during the semester. For the fall semester the approximate due dates of these installments will be September, October and November 15. For the spring semester the due dates will be February, March, and April 15. If you register during late registration you may select the "three payment plan." The final three installment dates would apply each semester.
You may enroll in the payment plan by logging into the online payment link and selecting the pay plan option. You may also enroll in the pay plan at the Bursar's Office.
The payment plan option is not available during the summer sessions.

What is APC doing?
First up, we rallied support for the Panel by making joint statements and writing to governments and encouraging other NGOs to support it as well.
Now that the HRC has voted to go ahead with a panel, we will try to work closely with the Swedish government on the terms of reference, to suggest experts, share our research and mobilise engagement as part of the Connect Your Rights! Campaign. If all goes well, we would look to follow up the Panel's recommendations in the UPR processes that we are supporting in India, Brazil, South Africa and the Philippines which will go before the HRC in June 2012.

Better punch line then I thought it would be
Last Saturday afternoon, in Washington, D.C., an aide to
Nancy Pelosi visited the Bishop of the Catholic cathedral in D.C. He toldthe Cardinal that Nancy Pelosi would be attending the next day's Mass, andhe asked if the Cardinal would kindly point out Pelosi to the congregationand say a few words that would include calling Pelosi a saint.
The Cardinal replied, "No. I don't really like the woman, and there areissues of conflict with the Catholic Church over certain of Pelosi'sviews."
Pelosi's aide then said, "Look, I'll write a check here and now for adonation of $100,000 to your church if you'll just tell the congregationyousee Pelosi as a saint."
The Cardinal thought about it and said, "Well, the church can use themoney, so I'll work your request into tomorrow's sermon."
As Pelosi's aide promised, Pelosi appeared for the Sunday
worship and seated herself prominently at the forward left side of thecenter aisle. As promised, at the start of his sermon, the Cardinalpointed out that Pelosi was present.
The Cardinal went on to explain to the congregation, "While Representative Pelosi's presenceis probably an honor tosome,the woman is not numbered among my personal favorite personages. Some of her most egregious views are contrary to tenets of the Church, and she tends to flip-flop on
many other issues.
Nancy Pelosi is a petty, self-absorbed hypocrite, a thumb sucker, and a nit-wit. Nancy Pelosi isalso a serial liar, a cheat, and a thief. I must say, Nancy Pelosi is the worst example
of a Catholic I have ever personally witnessed. She married for money and is using her wealth to lie to the American people. She also has a reputation for shirking her Representative obligationsboth in Washington, and in California. The woman is simply not to be trusted."
The Cardinal concluded, "But, when compared with President Obama, Representative Pelosi is a saint."
"Courage is being scared to death - and saddling up anyway." - The Duke
Better punch line then I thought it would be
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
I was wondering how the saint part would get in there.. LOL That's pretty good
When I first read the Title I saiid to myself you have got to be fucking kidding me! Until I read the story all the way through. Way too funny .all though the description of her personality and ethics are spot on!,,,Doc

Recently, a friend of mine told me of a fishing trip to Montana. He said that he had seen some really big bee hives out in some of the really big fields of grain (he thought they were hops fields). He thought that the "hives" might have been approximately 8-foot cubes. They were off-loaded from trucks and seemed to be placed randomly in the fields. I felt that he had seen something else and thought they were beehives (he said they were white, with x'es and o'es painted on their sides). Either he saw something, or he was pulling my leg, or, as a fisherman, he was stretching the numbers.
I contacted another friend of mine in Bigfork, Mt., who contacted his son-in-law, who said: "yes, a while back he had seen them, lots of them".
I searched the web for all types of subjects: "commercial beekeepers", "big bee hives", etc., but thus far, the only suggestion I've received is that they may have been four hives on pallets. My friend said that would not be big enough.
I feel that if these "large hives" have anything to do with bees, then the commercial people would know about them. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Charlie
